00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: your blood boil. You can't believe, by the way this

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: was done to five and six year olds, by the

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: way Saturday Night Live. They want. All they want for

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: Christmas is motor to lock up Trump. The only other

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: option is a coup, of course, from them. We'll get

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: into all of that, Al Sharton, It is the funniest

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: story I've ever seen. He pays himself a million and

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: a half dollars from his own National Action network. What

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: for for the rights to his life story? This is

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: his charity. He paid himself from his own charity five

33
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one grand according to his latest tax filing. Fire.

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: But they only get it for a ten year period

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: of time. I guess he'll sell it again for a

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: million dollars next time to the same people to coach

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: Seller's life store. I don't know why that struck me

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: is so funny today it did. Glad you're with us. Oh,

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: we have a lot of caravan news, massive success by

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: the president China tariffs. I've told every conservative friend of

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: mine that was most worried, legitimately so because about some

42
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: type of trade war that the president was going to

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: engage in or tariffs that he was going to place

44
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: on different countries. I said, Nope, it's not him. It's

45
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: a negotiating tactic. If you don't make them believe that

46
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it, they're never gonna move and they're

47
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: never gonna offer. We have had horrible one sided deals

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: with everybody, that includes NATO, seventy two cents of every

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: dollar that includes our even our European allies and friends.

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Supposedly they have one sided trade deals Mexico, NAFTA, Canada,

51
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: now China. So we're making huge progress, which we'll get

52
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: to also today we have a lot of deep state

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: news we're gonna get into in the course of the program.

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: We'll make it all happen. Um, what do you say

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: about a guy like President George Herbert Walker Bush, except

56
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: he just embodies it's all part of I mean, this

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: is my dad's generation. My father bought four years in

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: the Pacific in World War Two, and he, by the way,

59
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know, he's the longest. He lived longer than

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: any president in American history, only two families have had

61
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: a father and son become president, and he obviously being

62
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: one of them. And you think of his years as

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Ambassador to China, director of the CIA, eight years the

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: Reagan got me in love with politics. Reagan convinced me.

65
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: That's when I became a conservative. And here we are

66
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: thirty years later in radio, in my twenty third year

67
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: in Fox. It's amazing how many people don't get how

68
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: consistent I have been in terms of my conservative ideas

69
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: and philosophy. Of course, you can't be intellectually honest and

70
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: not at times change opinions on certain issues, which I

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: have evolved, and over time I can set myself a

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: little more civil libertarian certainly than I ever was before.

73
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: I think the main things government ought to do ought

74
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: to be limited in nature. I've always believed that. Reagan

75
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: always said, you know, government is the problem. I've always

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: believed in lower taxes, free markets, liberty and freedom. I've

77
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: always believed that every individual is brought on this earth

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: is a child of God. Every single person has natural

79
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: talent and ability. That's where the word education comes from. Then,

80
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: that is, you know, to bring forth from within. That's

81
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: because God put it there. That's I've always believed in

82
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: that we're endowed by our creator, our founding document. I

83
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: believe that our great constitution, but government becomes was more intrusive,

84
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: more intrusive, and and Reagan taught me something. I studied

85
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: the eight years he was president. I was on radio

86
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: just as he was. You know, I guess I started

87
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty seven, and I remember I was like,

88
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, here's a guy that gave us tax cuts

89
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: and created the single longest period of peacetime economic growth

90
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: in American history. He left the presidency having created over

91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: twenty million new jobs. He literally and this happened actually

92
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: in the Bush years. You know, but as Reagan has said,

93
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: tear down this wall. And George Herbert Walker Bush presided

94
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: over that. And you know, I look at the life

95
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: of military service, I look at the life of as

96
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: a businessman. I was watching forty three George W. Bush

97
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: talking about his dad, and you know, he could have

98
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: joined a hedge fund. After college. He went to Yale.

99
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: He was a great athlete, and no, he wanted to

100
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: be in Adessa, Texas, and you know, the living condition

101
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: weren't particularly great. He said. His mom would describe their

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: living next to prostitutes. Apparently, I'd never knew that story before. Anyway,

103
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: on a personal level, I've just gotten to know him,

104
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: and I know the family, and I've known him for

105
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: many years, and just they represent everything that is good

106
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: and decent. And this man spent a life serving his country.

107
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: He had in every capacity. His entire adult life was

108
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: about service for others, and he did it with a passion.

109
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: It was only a couple of years ago, and you know,

110
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: he's still jumping out of airplanes. And you know, at

111
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day, for any of us, when

112
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: that moment comes and we've got to meet our creator

113
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: and cross over to that other side. I think all

114
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: of us want to have lived life and the world

115
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: is a better, stronger place. The United States is better

116
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: and stronger because of George Herbert Walker Bush, especially in

117
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: his years as Vice president and president. It wasn't without controversy,

118
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't without his own tough moments in life. I mean,

119
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: that's really what creates character and people, isn't it. When

120
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: we get tested and then those roots inside us, we

121
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: need to go deeper and deeper, don't we Otherwise we're

122
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: just going to get blown away in the in the

123
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: wind when the rains come and it's it's not good. Um.

124
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: I did an interview with both forty one and forty three.

125
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to air parts of this tonight on Hannity.

126
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: And there was a love between forty three and forty one.

127
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: It was as unbelievable. I went down when the President Bush,

128
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: George W. Bush, you know, invited me to his museum

129
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: down there, and I went down on SMU campus. I

130
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: forgot was his father's presidential museum. I forget where, I

131
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: don't remember, but anyway, his dad and his mom were there.

132
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: Mom had recently passed away, as you all know, Barbara Bush.

133
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: And so I'm doing an interview just with forty three

134
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: and forty one was in a wheelchair. And so anyway,

135
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: we're about to do the interview and he says, no, no,

136
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: I want to watch, and he came. He literally sat

137
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: and watched the interview with his son. Couldn't be more proud.

138
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: And I won't give it away, but what when I

139
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: interviewed them together, you know, and George Bush said this

140
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: in an interview that I saw last night or over

141
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: the weekend when I was watching maybe it was sixty

142
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: minutes last night, and he said, you know, told the

143
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: story when he first went into the Oval office and

144
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: his dad called him mister President, and how his father

145
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: really let him be his own man, and he said,

146
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: just love him and be a dad. It's just very touching,

147
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: and it just you. You just embodies greatness. Goodness. You know,

148
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: so many Americans never become famous. And by the way,

149
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: if you want it, you can. You may not pee

150
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Holt's cut out to be. Let me just say that.

151
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, whatever

152
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: you do for a living, whatever talent you have, we

153
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: all have to serve other people in some capacity. You know,

154
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: I can't imagine anything worse. I've said this many many times.

155
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: Then what it must be like if you don't have

156
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: a purpose and a job in life and you're not

157
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: giving back and I don't care what it is. Listen,

158
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: if I know we've always scorned almost some people have

159
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: scorned on the left. Stay at home moms. Let me

160
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: tell you. Stay at home being a mom bold time.

161
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: That's a full time job, loving your children, raising them right,

162
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: feeding them well, giving them great life experiences. You're serving

163
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: a child. I don't think there's anything greater than that.

164
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: You're influencing who that person. You're shaping that person, helping

165
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: shape that person into becoming the person they were created

166
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: to be. I don't care if you're at McDonald's. You're

167
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: serving hungry people. So that's a valuable service. You know,

168
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: if you're building homes, if you're doing plumbing, if you're

169
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: doing electricity, if you're doing legal work, if you're a

170
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: doctor and you save lives every day, it doesn't matter.

171
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: And I've always felt that people that do their jobs publicly,

172
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, get too much adulation. It's just true. But

173
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: it's the people that get up every single day and

174
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: shovel coffee down their throat, dress their kids, you know,

175
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: pack them a lunch, send them off to school, go

176
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: put in their twelve hours, come home tired, do homework,

177
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: make dinner, you know, read to the kids, fall asleep,

178
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: get up and grind it out again the next day.

179
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: But all of those people, collectively in a free society,

180
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: make this a better world than a better place, and

181
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: then you have great leaders. I maybe we can put

182
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: athletes on a pedestal, and look, there's only so many

183
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: people that can throw a ball over a tiny plate

184
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: at one hundred miles an hour and strike out people.

185
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: There's only so many guys that can hit that hundred

186
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: mile an hour basketball you know, long enough that it's

187
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: a home run, or you know, playing hockey or basketball

188
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: or tennis or golf or whatever it happens to be.

189
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: And so we marvel at people that are at the

190
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: top level of whatever their profession happens to be. But

191
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: whatever you do matters too. And so his job was

192
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: more public than what most people have. But it's not

193
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: any even if you're the president, it's not any more

194
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: important for this country to be great. It's people have

195
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: to be great. And there are so many people like

196
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: George Herbert Walker Bush who did so much good in

197
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: his life with a decency and a quietness that is

198
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: his nature. And by the way, you know, it's amazing

199
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: to me that the number one complain about Donald Trump.

200
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: It's not about even people that say they're conservative. I'm

201
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: looking at them, Okay. So he's a disruptor. He fights

202
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: hard on every issue, even if it's better politics maybe

203
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: not to fight hard, but he's fighting hard with China,

204
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: North Korea, the Iranians. He doesn't care. He made a

205
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: promise to Israel about moving moving the Embassy to Jerusalem,

206
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: keeps it, He keeps his promises on regulation, on tax cuts,

207
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: on judges fighting every day for the Wall, and people

208
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: that were conservative cuts, taxes, originalist justices, energy independence, and

209
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: they can't find a good thing to say about the guy.

210
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: They just don't like a style. Well, there's a time

211
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: and a place, in my opinion, for a George Herbert

212
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: Walker Bush and a Ronald Reagan, and there's a time

213
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: for a disruptor, somebody that's gonna fight hard, break things

214
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: and get it done. Because so much of Washington has

215
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: been broken, corrupt and horrible. But as long as you

216
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: have the intention and you apply the principles that work,

217
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: and people ben a fit. You know, I think people

218
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: feign more outrage than they do. Here's the sad part

219
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: of the whole coverage I've been watching this weekend is,

220
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, literally you have the coverage where people that

221
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: were horrible. I saw this with John McCain too, People

222
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: that refer to John McCain as a racist, you know

223
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: when he's running for president, a horrible treatment of Mitt Romney,

224
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: binders of women's resumes, bludgeoned him. But now they like

225
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: him only because he criticizes Trump. You know, the horrible

226
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: thing said about Ronald Reagan, the horrible thing said about McCain,

227
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: the horrible thing said about George Herbert Walker Bush. Corrupt,

228
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: You ought to be in jail, ran contra, blah blah blah.

229
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: Oh he's the nicest man. But they basically doing is

230
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: using the death of George Herbert Walker Bush now to

231
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: bludgeon President Trump. But the same people were bludgeting or

232
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: people like them were bludgeoning George Herbert Walker Bush. And

233
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: just like I supported John McCain because I thought even

234
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: be a better president than Barack Obama, I was right,

235
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: by the way, And you know all these people now

236
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: that said horrible things in life, now you know, oh,

237
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: the greatest man ever. Reagan was the greatest man. Bush

238
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: was the greatest. And I can't stand that phoniness. That

239
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: more than anything drives me nuts. We pray for his

240
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: family today, and they're a very close family. This is

241
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: not easy, and especially it wasn't long ago that President

242
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Bush's father, mother had had passed away, Barbara Bush. And

243
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: I know the President has sent Air Force one to

244
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: Houston to pick up the forty first president and his family.

245
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: And there's gonna be a lot of ceremonies. We'll be

246
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: carrying it all this week for you. God speed, George

270
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: nice things about George Herbert Walker Bush. AP had to

271
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: delete a tweet about the death of the former president.

272
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: It was a huge backlash on this, and it said,

273
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: we've deleted a tweet and revised a story on the

274
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: death of President George Herbert Walker Bush because the tweet

275
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: and the opening story referenced his ninety two electoral defeat

276
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: and they didn't even talk about his World War Two service.

277
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so typical. You know. It's sad.

278
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: You know, John McCain for at least this as an example.

279
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: John McCain and I had our battles over the years.

280
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: We really did when it mattered, and I thought he

281
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: was a better person for the job, and you got

282
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: a choice coming down to two people, and I knew

283
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: Obama was a rigid radical ideologue that was never gonna

284
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: ever change and his policies would be bad for the country.

285
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, all my predictions were born out,

286
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: and I supported John McCain, and I know he said,

287
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: you know the hell are these people on talk radio?

288
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: How are these people on cable news? And I'm like,

289
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: clearly you didn't hate me back in the days when

290
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: you were running for president. But it's fine. It's you know,

291
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: everyone trying to now use the death of President Bush

292
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: to attack President Trump in the media. This nbcas despite

293
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: the resentments between these two families, all right, you want

294
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: to and then the stylistic differences. I can play some

295
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: of this, we have them, will play m later in

296
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: the program. And I'm just thinking, you know, I watched

297
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: the treatment of Ronald Reagan in death. These people were

298
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: so gracious in life. They were horrific when it actually mattered,

299
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, they never saw the wisdom of what Ronald

300
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: Reagan sought to accomplish and what he did for the

301
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: economy and how many jobs he created. And you know,

302
00:17:53,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: bravely challenging garbage, mister Gorber, tear down this wall, or

303
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: are you know the things that were said in the

304
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: allegations made in Iran Contra, etcetera, etcetera. You know, it

305
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: matters to me more how do you treat people in life?

306
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: Not the things you're gonna say in debt. To me,

307
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: it's just phony. And now, you know, any of these

308
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: men that I'm talking about, John McCain, Bush forty one,

309
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan, even Mitt Romney is now headed to the Senate,

310
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: we're treated horribly. John McCain dies, the nicest thing said

311
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: by people, some of whom were like involved in destroying

312
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: this man's character. You know, the same with Reagan, same

313
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: with Bush forty one, same with Bush forty three, even

314
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney. And it's just it's it's a phoniness that

315
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: they have that It just fries me a little bit

316
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: because it's you know, now they're doing it. Okay, Well

317
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: he was so nice, he was such a good guy.

318
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: That's not what they were saying back in the day.

319
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: Trust me. All right, a lot of news we're gonna

Speaker 1: All right, twenty five to the top of the hour

341
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: as we speak, Air Force one, the President Trump had

342
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: sent his plane to pick up the family and the

343
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: casket with the remains of President George Herbert Walker Bush

344
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: had just landed, arrived Joints Joint Bass Andrews, and as

345
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: we speak, they're about to the casket is about to

346
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: come off Air Force one. Some news the President, meaning

347
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: President Trump is apparently expected to be at the rotunda

348
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: tonight in the Capitol as the casket lies in state

349
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: for the former president. We expect that to happen. I

350
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: have a really cool interview that I did with Bush

351
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: forty one and Bush forty three. I'm gonna air some

352
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: of this tonight on Hannity nine Eastern if you want

353
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: to hear it. I did have an opportunity to talk

354
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: on another occasion to George Herbert Walker Bush about his

355
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: on and this is a small part of it. It's

356
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: got to be harder to watch your son the president

357
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: than to be president. It is far worse when they

358
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: go after your son, and I would say unfairly a

359
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: lot of the time than when they used to when

360
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: I was in a cross crosshairs and we get condemned

361
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: and criticism, even when I thought it was unfair about me.

362
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: It hurts much more when it's your own son. Yeah,

363
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: and you might even close call, not even close, because

364
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: I think about my son, who was a lot younger

365
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: than yours, But I would think it's got to be

366
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: a lot harder and you may have to go through

367
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: this one more time. You know. I just thought that

368
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: other son of hers in Florida, he's good. He's oh God,

369
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: he's good. And they singled him out for two years

370
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: ago as the number one target for the Democratic Party nationally,

371
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: not just for governor or senate. How Terry mccauliffe, for

372
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: whom I don't well put it this way, not very

373
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: high on him who came and made this the number one,

374
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: number one one goal for the Democratic Party nationally and

375
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: Jeb won by fourteen points? Did they were? And the

376
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: Poles were a little closer go into that election and

377
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: he won by much ye to margin, And um, I

378
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: guess maybe did mister cullif a little unhappy about that?

379
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: You know, your son said something the other day that

380
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 1: really struck me. He really did want to go to

381
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: Washington and change the tone, something that he was able

382
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: to accomplish in Texas since he's been there. And I'm

383
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: not talking about the Michael Moore's or the pundits on TV. Yeah,

384
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: we'll get to him in a minute. Oh well, good, Harry.

385
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: Have you heard the leaders at the Democratic Party that shrill?

386
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: I've heard him shrill, and I've heard some of our

387
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: shrill in the past, but I've never felt the climate

388
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: like it is now, nor the shrillness of the political opposition.

389
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: It hurts. Well, yeah, you expect some of it. But

390
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: when when it's your son and they got him a liar,

391
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: why when they impugne his motives, it hurts a lot. Yeah,

392
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: you think I feel strongly about it. Talk to Barbara

393
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: Bush because she just gets tells me not to watch

394
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: and all of that, but I can't. I can't not watch.

395
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: You're engaged. I read recently that she won't read The

396
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: New York Times anymore, and she done tells you to

397
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: stop whining about it when you do read it. Yeah, well,

398
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: I still read about it, and I'm whining more and

399
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: much more publicly than I used to, because I think

400
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: they've gone too far. I think they are advocates for

401
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: the Democrats. I think they have lost their objectivity that

402
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: they did have many years ago. I think there's a

403
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: certain arrogance amongst a lot of their people. I think,

404
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, you expect this on the op ed page.

405
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: You've got people in there that's mere George and slam

406
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: him every day. But that's you know, that's different. But

407
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: when the news columns, when you see subjectivity creeping into

408
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: the news columns, it concerns me. Yeah, I think they'll

409
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: deny it's happening, and I say, well, too bad, I

410
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: think it is. I mean, I was just one of

411
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: many interactions I've had the fortune of having with President

412
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: George Herbert Walker Bush, and I think the best moment

413
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: was when I interviewed him and George W. Bush together

414
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: as a pretty special moment. You know, let me just

415
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: say one thing, as media people and pundits and TV people,

416
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: and then I'll play it later in the program when

417
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: we get back to the topic. But and how they're

418
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: basically using the death here of President Bush forty one

419
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: to attack President Trump. Let me let me just dissuade anybody.

420
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: I understand the Bush family's resentments at times or maybe

421
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: hostility even at times towards Donald Trump. But you know,

422
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. George W. Bush went into

423
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: South Carolina in a battle with John McCain, and it

424
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: was brutal. It's just the nature of politics. Unfortunately, it's

425
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: a blood sport, it's not beam ball. And if you

426
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: don't have the fight in you or the ability to

427
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: take on that criticism and fight back on some level,

428
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: some capacity, you know you're gonna get eaten alive. And

429
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: it's the only thing that frustrates me is I listen

430
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: to all these never Trumper people, and some of them

431
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: have been writing and commenting on conservatism throughout even my

432
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: whole career or longer, and it's just stylistically they can't

433
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: stand the current president. But I remind you, how did

434
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: they treat McCain when it mattered in his life when

435
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: he was running for president he was a racist? How

436
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: did they treat Ronald Reagan? An amiable dunce and a

437
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: grade B actor? And you know another guy that they

438
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: just bludgeoned him. Not as bad as today. It's never

439
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: been this bad. And you just heard Bush forty one

440
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: saying it was really bad and his son was president.

441
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: It's it's worse. And the same thing for Mitt Romney,

442
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: binders of women somehow. I mean, it's stunning what they

443
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: did to that man. And let me tell you, Romney

444
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: is one of these guys that is pretty It's just

445
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: decent to the core. I don't like what he did

446
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: in the election, and I kind of understand it. Maybe

447
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: somebody as it doesn't understand a New York sensibility. I

448
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: grew up in New York, but I also had the

449
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: advantage of living in Rhode Island, New England, and living

450
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: in California, and living in the South in Alabama and Georgia,

451
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: and it has given me great perspective and ben to

452
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: almost every state now about the middle of the country,

453
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: the red part of the country that is so much

454
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: different than than what you see in d C, New York,

455
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: LA and San Francisco. So it's it's a very tough

456
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: it's a tough sport. There's a lot at stake, and

457
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: if you have a strong passionate belief system that if

458
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: you if you believe in limited government, you're gonna fight

459
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: for You're gonna take on a lot of incoming and

460
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it does get personal, and I would

461
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: assume at some point, I guess you know a lot

462
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: of times differences eventually get put aside. I mean, Clinton

463
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: and forty one used to go on tour together and

464
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: if you know, I know that that there was no

465
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: way George w. Bush was going to criticize Barack Obama.

466
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: I tried to get him to say something that number

467
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: of times. I've never had any luck doing it. But um,

468
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, but the people

469
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: that step up take the heat. It's NonStop, and it's

470
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: their calling, their service, what they believe. So I think

471
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: some people are just genuinely trying to do their best.

472
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: It might be wrong on the policy, but I also

473
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: think there are people that are just pure power hungry.

474
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: And that's a lot of the people in Washington. They

475
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: love being called Senata and congressman and governor whatever it

476
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: happens to be. And that's unfortunate too, because we don't

477
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: benefit from that when they're looking out for themselves. All Right,

478
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: a lot of other ground we're going to cover um

479
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: as we speak. By the way they are, the casket

480
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: is coming off of Air Force one that President Trump

481
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 1: had sent, landing now in Joint Joint Bass Andrews on

482
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: its way to the Capitol Rotunda. This is gonna anger

483
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people. But if you're a parent, you

484
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: have young kids in the car, I don't want you

485
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: may not want your young kids to hear this, But

486
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna make you mad. So you got

487
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: this school in New Jersey, it's called Cedar Hill Elementary School,

488
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: and you get the substitute teacher comes in. And this

489
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: is one of the things that just pries me about

490
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: the entire educational system and this unholy alliance that exists

491
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: between teachers, unions and the Democratic Party, to the point

492
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: where New York is paying literally hundreds and hundreds of teachers.

493
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: They can't teach, but they can't fire them in case

494
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: in some cases for literally having sexual contact with kids,

495
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: you still can't fire them. Why they're not in jail

496
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: is another question. But putting that aside, but the fact

497
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: that you have a captive group of kids, usually it's

498
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: in junior high, high school, college is the worst where

499
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: all these ex hippies have gravitated for because the jobs

500
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: might not maybe I don't know, and they feel that

501
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: they can take a captive audience and just indoctrinate them

502
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: into their belief system. We spend more money per capita

503
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: per student than any other country on Earth, and we're

504
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: like thirty seventh in reading, writing, and math. Overall. It's pathetic.

505
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: You know, there was once a famous study in the

506
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: Reagan years a nation at risk that I actually said

507
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: that what has happened to the educational system in America,

508
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: were it done by some outside entity or force, would

509
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: be tantamount to an act of war. That's how bad

510
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: it's gotten, you know. But mostly we've kind of left

511
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: the really young kids alone except to it. Can't play

512
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: dodgeball anymore in school because if you played dodgeball, you're

513
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna hit the kid with the ball and they may

514
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: not like losing. You can't keep score because somebody's feelings

515
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: are gonna get hurt. As if kids can't keep kids

516
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: are keeping score, whether they're allowed to or not. We

517
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: beat you, We beat you know whatever. I mean, you

518
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: can't choose sides because one kid that maybe is really

519
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: smart and math and really more academically oriented, that's where

520
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: the natural gifts are. But that kid's gonna feel bad

521
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: that he's picked lass. So you know, we'll just divide

522
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: teams some random other way. I mean, it's gotten crazy,

523
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: But think about this. So imagine you're sending your five

524
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: six year old kid to school and you have a

525
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: teacher is telling five and six year olds that Santa

526
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: Claus isn't real. His reindeer aren't real, telling them reindeer

527
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: can't fly, telling them Santa is not real, and parents,

528
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: can you load this a little bit lowder? This a

529
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: lot just buying presents and putting them under the tree,

530
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: not some guy named Santa with a red suit and

531
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: a big All right, I can't yeah, all right, So

532
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: Santa Claus that your parents are Santa Claus. And then

533
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: raindeer can't fly, elves aren't real. Elf on the shelf

534
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: is just to pretend all that your parents move around,

535
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: And then she doesn't stop there. Then the teacher says

536
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: the tooth fairy isn't real, and mom and dad sneak

537
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: into your room in the middle of the night when

538
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: you're sleeping they put the money under your pillow, and

539
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: then the Easter Bunny that doesn't exist either, and tell

540
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: us them magic doesn't exist. There's no such thing. This

541
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: is a grown woman thinking she has the right to

542
00:31:53,680 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: literally rob kids of the utter joy, anticipation, happiness of Santa,

543
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: and thinking, without any any sense that this might be wrong,

544
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: that you're going to crush a kid's spirit for Christmas,

545
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: and it goes you go back to this whole war

546
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: on Christmas. I mean, Bill O'Reilly followed this for years

547
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: and he was always right about it, inasmuch as what

548
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: he was saying is you can't you know, stories say

549
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: it says Christmas sale, but you can't say, or an employee,

550
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: you can't say Merry Christmas, and or telling these kids,

551
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: or feeling that you have the right to contradict deeply

552
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: held values that you have and whether it be about religion,

553
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: or about Santa or the Easter Bunny or the tooth fairy,

554
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean crushing five and six year olds. One of

555
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: them was quoted in this article in New Jersey say,

556
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: my granddaughter came home and said, Mimi, Santa isn't real.

557
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: The woman flipped out and explained, no, no, no, Santa's real.

558
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: Don't listen to the other kids didn't realize it was

559
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: the teacher that said this, and the substitute teacher launches

560
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: into a you know, grinch like diatribe. Well during what

561
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a writing activity. Now when you

562
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: think we don't teach kids to read and write, we

563
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: spend more money per capita per student than any other country,

564
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: with like the worst results, the worst return our investment

565
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,239
Speaker 1: than anybody else. And this is what happens, and it

566
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: gets you know, you see this everywhere, like for example,

567
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: hannek is going on right now, and when I see

568
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: my friends that I know or say happy honeka. If

569
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: I see my friends at christ Mary Christmas, and if

570
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: it so happens, I got it wrong with a friend.

571
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: They know what the spirit is behind it. I'm trying

572
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: to be nice. Unlike Saturday Night Live, all they want

573
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: for Christmas is for Mueller to lock up Trump and

574
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: the other option is a coup. And by the way,

575
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: Sarah Palin had a great Land suck it Up cupcake.

576
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: She said that the Joy Behart after Kid Rock took

577
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: a shot at her, and Joy Behart Trumpetter save pardons

578
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: for his kids. I'm just saying, listen, We're gonna have

579
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: to make some decisions here as a culture, as a society,

580
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: as a country. You know. Stanford University told the Sigma

581
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: Chi fraternity to remove its American flag. Why Stanford to

582
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: improve their image. Administrator reportedly told the fraternity that the

583
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: flag could be seen as intimidating, aggressive and alienating. Is

584
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: this is this the country? We want? The greatest generation

585
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: of George Herbert Walker Bush and people like my father

586
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: that fought four years in World War Two and so

587
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: many others in that what Tom Brokaw called the Greatest

588
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: generation an American flag, we're gonna, We're gonna now teach

589
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: kids in college that that flag is seen as intimidating,

590
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: aggressive and alien when all the our treasure, our kids,

591
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: blood shed, lives lost, limbs lost, you know, faces destroyed

592
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: in war, no country ever accumulating more power in using

593
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: it for the good than this one. And we're saying

594
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: that in college to our kids. And we're telling five

595
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: year olds that Santa doesn't exist because we don't. We

596
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: let them run away with the culture. There's no stopping them.

597
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: And this is where I keep warning you we have

598
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: If we have a dual justice system, we don't apply

599
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: the laws equally. We don't have equal justice under the

600
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: law or equal application of our laws. We're gonna lose it.

601
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: And remember Reagan said, you know, freedom is but one

602
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: generation away from extinction. Scary, all right, glad you with us.

603
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show told free it's eight hundred and nine

604
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: for one. Sean, you want to be a part of

605
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: the program. Am So air Force one is landed. It

606
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: joins Bass Andrews and the casket and now hers carrying

607
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: Bush forty one is a route to the Capitol Rotunda,

608
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: where he will lie in state. It's expected that the President,

609
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: President Trump will stop by sometime this evening. I just

610
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: heard in the nine o'clock hour when I'm on Hannity.

611
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: Obviously we will cover that. One of the things I

612
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: want to share with you tonight is an interview I

613
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: did with both Bush forty one and forty three, which

614
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: I think captures more of a love between father and

615
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: son than anything else. Joining us now, former Speaker of

616
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: the House, New King Rich is with us. How are you, sir,

617
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: Good to have you back. I'm doing well. And I

618
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: think part of the reason for the great outpouring for

619
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: President of Bush is that he this is the last

620
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: of the World War Two heroes, the youngest naval aviator,

621
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: and I think his deep love for Barbara was a

622
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: model for the whole country. So it really is, in

623
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: a sense, the passing of a generation of leadership. I

624
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: think all of that's true. There's one little thing that

625
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: irks me, and I bet it probably irks you as well.

626
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: And I'm watching the media and I'm watching their coverage,

627
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: and frankly people that didn't treat him well at all.

628
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: They're actually the kids. Nothing bad they could ever say

629
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: about him, And you know how he was treated in

630
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: the course of his president Oh, he can't he doesn't

631
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: even sew out of touch. He can't even use a

632
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: grocery store scanner because he doesn't know what it is,

633
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: or obviously ran contra or you know, the Democrats kind

634
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: of push and push and push, and he tries to compromise,

635
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: but he broke a campaign pledge about read my lips,

636
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: no new taxes, and they bludgeoned them with that. And

637
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: they're also saying, well, he's such a good man. Now

638
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: they're using his demeanor, which is obviously different than President

639
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: Trump's as if you know, somehow forty one or forty

640
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: three didn't know that presidential politics was a blood sport.

641
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: After all, it was forty one that called Reaganomics voodoo economics.

642
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: And the runoff or the primary between President Bush and

643
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: forty three in McCain in South Carolina was about as

644
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: tough as it gets. And you know, this is part

645
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: of politics, isn't it. Of course, Look, if you are

646
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: a liberal and you have a chance after they die

647
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: to say nice things whether they did the same thing

648
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: to Ronald Reagan. I mean, people who had despised Reagan

649
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: for his entire career, you know, waxed eloquent and rhapsodic

650
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: about him once he died because it gives them the

651
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: veneer of being reasonable and fair. But you know, in

652
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: both the case of President Reagan and President Bush, the

653
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: same liberals that everything they could to defeat them. And

654
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: I think that's just part of where we are as

655
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: a country. I mean, we are. You sure you should

656
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: never and you don't, of course, but no one listening

657
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: to us should never kidd themselves about where the left

658
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: is and what the left's trying to accomplish. Oh. They

659
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: did the same thing with John McCain. I mean, and

660
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: when John McCain, when it would have mattered to say

661
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: nice things about him, when he ran for president in

662
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: O eight, which by the way, I suported him over Obama,

663
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: and I was glad to and I was ended. I

664
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: think I ended up being proven right how disastrous Obama's

665
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: rigid ideology would be for the country and his policies

666
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: would be. But same with John McCain, and the same

667
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: Look at what they did to poor Mitt Romney. Look

668
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: at how they treated Reagan. Look at how they treated Bush.

669
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: But you die, they may even say a nice thing

670
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: or two about you or maid who knows. I'm not

671
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: saying it now. I wouldn't go overboard, and I'm not

672
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: children to wait in any expectation. But uh no, you know,

673
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: Senator McCain is a great example, because Senator McCain got

674
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: great press until he got the nomination and then for

675
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: four or five months, and I think I know he

676
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: was from just deeply hurt and frustrated because for four

677
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: or five months the left wing media went after him

678
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: and sided with Obama. And these are he thought, these

679
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: had all been his friends, and then it didn't work.

680
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, they ended up doing everything they could do

681
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: defeating Yeah, I think that's just part of it. And

682
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, and I also do think, I mean, let's

683
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: be clear, as much as you and I think that

684
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: President Trump is a historic figure and is changing the country.

685
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: From the standpoint of the of the elites, the country

686
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: club set, President George H. W. Bush was just a

687
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, a kinder and milder and nicer person. He

688
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: naturally into that group. Look, he deserves all the credit

689
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: the Reaganomics, which he did call voodoo economics in the primary.

690
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: But you know what, they got along great. But the

691
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: team of Reagan and Bush forty one was an amazing team.

692
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: And you know what, all the things that we love,

693
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: We cut taxes. Twenty one million new jobs were created,

694
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: long guest period of peacetime economic growth. And you want

695
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: to talk about inheriting a bad economy, nobody inherited a

696
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: worse economy than Ronald Reagan and George Bush. But when

697
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: it came time to take the gloves off and bludge

698
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: in George Herbert Walker Bush, you know, some of the

699
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: people saying nice things today were nowhere to be found.

700
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: They wanted him out then, just like they want Trump

701
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: out now. Yeah. By the way, that reminds me one

702
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: of the interesting side notes of where we are today.

703
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: People on the left talk about, you know, Trump not

704
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: being popular, and he's about forty four percent approval despite

705
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: two years of overwhelmingly negative press coverage. Ronald Reagan in

706
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: January of nineteen eighty three was at thirty five percent approval,

707
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: and the darling of the left, President mccrona France, is

708
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: currently at twenty six percent approval. So it just goes

709
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: to show you sometimes the people see past the media.

710
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: Well you know, and look, there's sometimes the right people

711
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: right place, right time. I mean, I'm watching people now,

712
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: there's never Trump or crowd in particular that they they

713
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: they're so they're with the leftist, they're with Schumer, they're

714
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: with Pelosi, there with you know, Maxine and Peach forty

715
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: five and getting their faces and follow them into grocery stores, etc.

716
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: And I'm listening to them and I'm like, these are

717
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: people that wrote for longer than I've even been on radio,

718
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: which is now my thirtieth year, about the need for

719
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: lower taxes. Well, that's Trump. Uh, conservative justice as originalists,

720
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: that's Trump energy independence, that's Trump. Securing our borders, that's Trump. Um.

721
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: All of these accomplishments that he's had that you wrote

722
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: about chronicled really well in your book. And not only

723
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 1: that piece through strength, that's Trump. Um. Look at this

724
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: this sight everything they're trying to do with Muller. Notice

725
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: with Putin, Trump or Obama, and it's clearly Trump, Yeah,

726
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: has been much tougher with Putin than anybody else and

727
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: gets zero credit forward from the left. What do you

728
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: think of the president? Now? The two things that I

729
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: think happened that nobody's paying any attention to. One is

730
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: the President was able to extract a number of concessions

731
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: from the Chinese in exchange for not imposing new tariffs

732
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: on Chinese goods, a major agreement while meeting with the

733
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: world's leaders at the G twenty in Argentina. But they

734
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: spoke for two and a half hours, longer than previously scheduled.

735
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: Amazing and productive is how it was described. And you know,

736
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: immediately China began buying more agricultural products from America along

737
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: with the pledge to purchase more industrial and energy products.

738
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: And also it looks like a report that you know,

739
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: the Trump auto tariff tweet lifts the stocks and Beijing's

740
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: been silent. But you know, we have a better deal

741
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: with our European allies. We have better deal with NATO.

742
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: People are now paying more of their fair share. We

743
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: have a better deal with Canada and Mexico. Now a

744
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: better deal with China. Oh and by the way, the

745
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: president's being tough with the RAND. He's being tough with

746
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: everybody in the Middle East, moving the embassy to Jerusalem.

747
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: North Korea has obviously moved in quite a big direction.

748
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: And you're right about Russia. This is unprecedented movement by yeah,

749
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: somebody that's a disruptor, a little bit louder and break

750
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: some dishes. So what well, no, not so much that

751
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: that technique is working. I look, if he had not

752
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: been as tough as he was with the Jim Jong Hill,

753
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: I am confident that we would not be seeing any

754
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: movement if he hadn't been prepared. And then this is

755
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: very much the Trump model. If you read his book

756
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: The Art of the Deal, the Trump model is to

757
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: be personally friendly well being very tough in negotiations, and

758
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: to keep the two separate. So he and I think

759
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: have actually developed a reasonably good personal relationship. Well, he

760
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: has said to him, look, you know, sure, you don't

761
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: cut a deal. I'm just gonna have to get tougher

762
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: and tougher because I represent him America and you have

763
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: been ripping us off. And I think it was a

764
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: clear signal that Jijan thing decided it was very much

765
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: not to their interest to get involved in a head on, knockdown,

766
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: drag out fight with the United States. I think that

767
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: Trump's proven he can, he's willing to engage in the fight.

768
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: And if you're if he didn't have believability. Then there's

769
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 1: no way NATO is going to step up and pay

770
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: their fair share. We're paying seventy two cents of every

771
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: dollar in countries like Germany of making Putin rich again

772
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: with energy deals. That's ridiculous. Russell the Bookie row was

773
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: the art of the deal, not the art of the fight.

774
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't start a fight to have a fight. He

775
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: starts to fight to move you to a position where

776
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: you're going to get a better deal. But you know,

777
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: but that's the whole thing. Nobody seemed. I've told many

778
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: of my conservative friends were so worried about trade issues

779
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump. I said, he doesn't want a trade war,

780
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't want tariffs. What he wants his freer, fairer trade.

781
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: And if you don't convince the people that you negotiating

782
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: with that you're gonna walk, what's going to happen? They're

783
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: they're never gonna give in. And then the bad deals

784
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: that have been accumulating over the years that cost the

785
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 1: American taxpayers milk billions of dollars and jobs and opportunities,

786
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: guess what, Now we're getting them back. Now we have

787
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: better trade deals. Now they're freer and fairer. No American

788
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: president has negotiated as many economic deals in as many

789
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: different countries as Trump did. Well, he was a businessman.

790
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: That's why you see Trump towers in places like Panama City,

791
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: and you know, we we saw them. They're going a

792
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: new Trump tower down in Uruguay, which I think is

793
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: now Eric's project. But you know, so this is the

794
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: guy who understands that you have to have You have

795
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: to understand the country you're negotiating with, you have to

796
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: understand the local system, and you've got to figure out

797
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: a deal that makes mutual profit, because if you don't

798
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: both gain something in the long run, it's a bad deal.

799
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: It's got to be when we agree. Yeah, let me

800
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: ask you about Yeah, go ahead, No, mom, you're watching

801
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: the issue of Robert Mueller. There's we're gonna have a

802
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: lot of news at the top, well later on in

803
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: a program today, but you have some updates. One article

804
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: came out today and actually suggesting that there's no end

805
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: in sight. You know, the Cone and Manaphort developments. You know,

806
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: that's going to keep Mueller's pro going deep into twenty nineteen.

807
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, you gotta be kidding me, but there's

808
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: never going to be. And now all that I am

809
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: writing a paper. This came this scheme out of doing

810
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: your TV show the other night, and I was trying

811
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: to this is right after the co on you know news,

812
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: and I was trying to figure out how to put

813
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: this in context because it is so nutty. And I

814
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: finally concluded and I'm writing a paper that we should

815
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: rename this um the Mueller Destroyed Trump Projects. This is

816
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: not an investigation. This has nothing to do with an investigation.

817
00:47:55,320 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: This is this is Mueller doing everything he can to

818
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: destroy the president of the United States. And it's one

819
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: of the reasons I made the point that Trump is

820
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: more popular today than Reagan was at this point, and

821
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: he is more popular today than macrona France, and that

822
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: there's no legitimate basis percent the other day last week. Okay,

823
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: So so here you have a guy who won constitutionally

824
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 1: forty eight percent of the country favors him despite two

825
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: years of unending negative press, and Mueller has taken upon

826
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: himself as the agent of the establishment to destroy him.

827
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: And there was a column written by by somebody at

828
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: the Post that had absolutely captured it when they pointed

829
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 1: out that Trump thought he was going to Buenos Aires

830
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: to a really positive event, and that Mueller messed it up.

831
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: And this person said, you know, Mueller does it over

832
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: and over again deliberately. Well, that that is such a

833
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 1: total violation of our entire system. By what right does

834
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: this guy go out of is to try to destroy

835
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: the president states? Well, look, I think you and maybe

836
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: there's only a handful of us that have seen through

837
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: Muller and his team from the get go. I remember

838
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: back a year ago, it was no, it's gonna all

839
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: be over right right after um, right after Thanksgiving, It's done,

840
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 1: right after Christmas, right after the New Year, right after March,

841
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: right after April, right after the fourth it's I don't

842
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: And I look at the team he hired. No it's not.

843
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: And I don't see anything that warrants the continuation of

844
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: this at all, you know, And when he was first appointed,

845
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: I tweeted a very positive tweet based on her record,

846
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: and then I watched him hire people like Weissman, And

847
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: every single person you hired was a was a left wing,

848
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: cutthroat prosecutor, and I began to realize that this guy

849
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 1: was building a hunting party that if in anybody who

850
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: doesn't believe me reads Sydney Powell's amazing book To Lie

851
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: About About the Justice Department, Scarry and and these guys,

852
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I mean Westman was described by

853
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 1: one of the Justice from the people as a terror

854
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: And this was back involving a different case, the Arthur

855
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: Anderson case, where the Supreme Court by nine to zero

856
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 1: repudiated the prosecution, but in the process they had destroyed

857
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: the company and put eighty five thousand people out of work.

858
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: These the kind of guys we're dealing with. And I

859
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: think I queued off of two people, Alan Burschowitz, the

860
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: Harvard law professor, and Andy McCarthy, the former prosecutor for

861
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: the Justice Department. And they both have been saying over

862
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: and over again, where's the underlying crime? I mean, if

863
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: you look at the things that co inline about, and

864
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: he shouldn't lie in it. It's perfectly appropriate to punish

865
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: people who lie to Congress or who lie in the growth.

866
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: So I'm not happening to him at all. Look at

867
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: the underlying question. Nothing that there's been alleged that about

868
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: Trump was illegal. I got a lot of go there,

869
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: mister speaker. Thank you We're appreciate your time. As usual,

870
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: well said, treated people with respect and dignity, and put

871
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: country ahead of party and self time and time again

872
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: over his half century in public service. Half century. Over

873
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: the last two years, deviancy has continued being defined down

874
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: by this current president, his cronies, his supporters, who love

875
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: telling reporters that they don't care how deviant his behavior becomes.

876
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens at Wednesday's memorial service. My prediction

877
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 1: is that Trump fakes more respect for a family's whose

878
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: unprecedented history of public service has repeatedly belittled. Then he

879
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: goes back to making a mockery of the very office

880
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: George Bush and this nation long revered, just as President

881
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: Bush's character was set even during his earliest days at

882
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: andover with the stories that you all have told. Donald

883
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: Trump remains the man. Think about this the man he

884
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: while avoiding the draft and then telling Howard Stern on

885
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: the radio that sleeping around with women in New York

886
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: City while avoiding sexual diseases was his own personal Vietnam.

887
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: He said that, as is always the case, the presidency

888
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: does not shape character. It reveals it in a raw fashion.

889
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: And that is why we celebrate George H. W. Bush's

890
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: legacy and fear the next two years of mister Trump's

891
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: wild White House rye. I want to say one thing

892
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: about him that was not picked up really because as

893
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: a candidate he said, those who think we're powerless to

894
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: do anything about the greenhouse effect are forgetting about the

895
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: white house effect. And then he signed into law the

896
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: Clean Air Act Amendment of nineteen ninety, one of the

897
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: most sweeping environmental statutes ever. This president that we have

898
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: now is trying to unravel everything that he did and

899
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: Obama did, And if I ever become a one issue voter,

900
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: it will be about pollution and the greenhouse effect, and

901
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: we focused on the president. Please, I don't want to

902
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: talk about trouble. I want to talk about honoring. But

903
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in your one issue. I don't care

904
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: what by another great moment, I guess on the view

905
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: twenty five now to the top of the hour, eight

906
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want to

907
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Ari Fleischer is with us.

908
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,959
Speaker 1: Of course. He was the White House Press Secretary under

909
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: President George W. Bush Bush forty three, and he joins us.

910
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: He wrote a column today. That really captured my attention

911
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 1: and I agree with it wholeheartedly. It is amazing how

912
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: short people's memories are. And the same thing happened with

913
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: President Reagan for eight years Democrats bludgeoned him, and in

914
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: death they say just the opposite. You know, remember Iran Contra,

915
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: Remember all that they said. You know, they mocked the

916
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: fact that George Herbert Walker Bush, they said, we got

917
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: at this deal done. He made a deal with Democrats

918
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: that did raise taxes, and they bludgeoned him with that

919
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: even though that's what they wanted. And now in death,

920
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: what do we have here the media is love for

921
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: George HW. Bush that didn't exist when it mattered when

922
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: he was alive, when he was president, is more about

923
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: hatred for Donald Trump, as you just heard are Fleischer,

924
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: How are you, sir, Great to be with you, Sean,

925
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, look for me. Well, let's go into the

926
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,919
Speaker 1: analysis that you have that that the media democrats their

927
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: praise of George Herbert Walker Bush. And by the way,

928
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: the man deserves nothing but praise. His whole life was

929
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: about service to his country. From a young age ambassador

930
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: to China, CIA director loyal wonderful VP for eight years

931
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: president for four years, and I'm listening to the people

932
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: that bludgeoned him all twelve years that he was in

933
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: DC in that capacity. And you know, now he's the

934
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: greatest guy that ever lived, because the guy we have

935
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: now is horrible. You nailed at Sean, and you know

936
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: Charles Heard, who wrote that up at piece, nailed it,

937
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: and I totally agree with it. Here's the problem. And

938
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: I'd lived through the Bush years and when I was

939
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: a press or care on Capitol Hill in Washington, the

940
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: press back then crucified George HW. Bush for the very

941
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: things that today praising him for. They called him patrician,

942
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: they called him out of touch, They called him part

943
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: of the old noblesso blige that is part of an

944
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: era long gone by today in his death, now they

945
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 1: are praising the things that they back then used as

946
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: a hammer to talk about how out of touch he was,

947
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: including the New York Times story about him not even

948
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: knowing how to read a cash register at a supermarket.

949
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: Remember that of him being out of touch, And now

950
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 1: you would have them everybody believe. And I'm glad they're

951
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: covering him like this today. I wish they only did

952
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: it when he was in office. What a decent good

953
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 1: man he is, who represents some of the highest ideals

954
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: of America about service, noblessoblige, and giving to your country.

955
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: Now they're praising him for it. You know, it's funny

956
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 1: because i'd noticed the same thing happened with John McCain.

957
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: If you go back and John McCain's pull run, you know.

958
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: And it's interesting from my perspective also because when John

959
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: McCain came back after he'd had his surgery and by

960
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: the way, which I thought was an act of courage

961
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: and bravery, and the five years he spent in Vietnam.

962
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: I can't do anything but praise a man that you

963
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to leave because of his name and didn't.

964
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: And I had bones broken in five long years. I mean,

965
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: it's heroic. There's nothing to no other way to describe it.

966
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: But I supported him and went to battle for him

967
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 1: as hard as I could when he was running because

968
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: I believed and I still believe today, he would have

969
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: been a far superior president. And what Barack Obama was

970
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: and what he represented, and I think the truth bears

971
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: out that I was pretty right about Obama being a

972
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: pretty radical left wing indoctrinated leftist and he's going to

973
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: stick to those policies. And he didn't show the trajectory

974
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: of growth for example that I think Clinton showed it

975
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: at times in his presidency. But the point is, then

976
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: John McCain goes back and he bludgeons conservatives. Those people

977
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 1: on talk radio and cable news to hell with them,

978
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: actually said those words, but he kind of liked us

979
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 1: when he was wronging. But I never thought it was personal.

980
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: And then all these accolades coming from the people that

981
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: called them a racist in that campaign, that's right and

982
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: everything else in between, and I'm like wow, I mean,

983
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: how things are reversed. And they'll do the same thing

984
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: now with Mitt Romney. They were terrible to Mitt Romney

985
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: when he ran for president and not to project to it.

986
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: But when Mitt Romney is no longer with us, they're

987
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: going to praise Mitt Romney for these same reasons. Look, Sean,

988
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: I come from Bush world. I come from establishment politics.

989
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm much closer, as you know, to that way of

990
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: thinking than I am to the Donald Trump way of thinking.

991
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: But I walk in both worlds with my eyes open.

992
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: And here's what I say. One of the big reasons

993
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: that the American people, particularly Republican Party, rose up and

994
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: wanted to Donald Trump is because they were sick and

995
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: tired of people who weren't able to fight back. There's

996
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: a graciousness of Republicanism. It was represented by George H. W. Bush,

997
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: John McCain, and Mitt Romney. Mild boss George W. Bush

998
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: not to the same degree as his father, because George W.

999
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: Bush was a bit more of a punch back punch,

1000
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: willing to punch and engage and fight than his father.

1001
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: But one of the things I hear all the time

1002
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: from Republicans is that Donald Trump at least fights. He

1003
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: knows the press will never be fair, never give you

1004
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: a fair shake, and so he'll fight back. And if

1005
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: only you Bushes had done that. I hear that all

1006
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: the time from people. By the way, that's interesting, he said,

1007
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: because I hear that all the time too. And then

1008
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: on the other side of it, people are saying, well,

1009
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: could he fight just a little bit less? Well, I

1010
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: think that's valid as well, Sean. I mean, there's a

1011
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: hand on a dial here, isn't there. How much do

1012
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: you fight to be the best fighter and to be

1013
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: the most effective. And we can argue about where the

1014
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: hand on the dial belongs. But the point I'm making

1015
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: is Republicans know that the press will go after Republicans

1016
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: with everything they got when it counts, when they're in office,

1017
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: and they're not fooled when the press then starts to

1018
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: praise you after you're gone and it's too late. We

1019
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: know that about the press. You know, you bringing up

1020
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: a lot of great points here, and you're saying you see,

1021
00:58:55,720 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: as a conservative, I've often been so disappointed out with

1022
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: the Bushes as much as with Republicans in Congress for

1023
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: not having even that healthcare promise, the sixty five votes

1024
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: to repeal or replace Healthcare when it doesn't matter, and

1025
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: then when it matters, about a hundred of them in

1026
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: the House with nowhere to be found. They never really

1027
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: had the intention of doing the hard work or the

1028
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: In twenty fifteen, you know, they're in the Senate and

1029
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: they're willing to repeal only Obamacare, but when it mattered

1030
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: two years later, they weren't willing to do it. Seven

1031
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: of them change their votes on the exact same language.

1032
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm a registered conservative. I think that

1033
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, different times call for different things, and I

1034
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: think that you know in many ways the establishment side

1035
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party, and I'm a registered conservative, has

1036
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: they created Donald Trump? And then, no question about it,

1037
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: There's no question about different times call for different things,

1038
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: and that's truthfuness the history of our country. We react

1039
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: to the error and we're in We learned lessons from it.

1040
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: We moved to a slightly different error or a largely

1041
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: different error, and maybe sometimes we swing back. We've always

1042
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: been like that because we're self correcting democracy. But the

1043
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: broader point here, who goes back to George H. W. Bush.

1044
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: He was gracious, he was decent, he was kind, and

1045
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: the press never covered him that way in life. By

1046
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: the way, that's all true. And then, by the way,

1047
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: the same I always love forty three. I thought to

1048
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: this day, I think that he was the right guy

1049
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: to deal with nine to eleven. Yeah, and look at

1050
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: how they bludgeoned him over nine to eleven. I mean,

1051
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was awful of times, and

1052
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: not saying that he made every right decision thereafter. And

1053
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: we can look back in history and maybe had we

1054
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: known things, if we could see the future, we'd make

1055
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: different decisions. Here's what I want to understand, though, because

1056
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: you're right in every all your observations. How is it, though,

1057
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, if we put style aside? Donald Trump on

1058
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: justices and judges, Donald Trump on tax cuts, Donald Trump

1059
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: on eliminating burdensome regulation. Donald Trump on issues like energy independence.

1060
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: We're now pretty much an energy independent country. If we

1061
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: want to be on the borders on the concept of

1062
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: peace through strength, a guy that puts America first, and

1063
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: we got to get our own house in order. If

1064
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: we really want to help other people all around the world,

1065
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: then we don't exactly always. We don't have every American

1066
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: working yet, but we're getting there. These principles work. And

1067
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: people that said their whole political lives as pundits or

1068
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: writers or observers of politics that say they're Republican conservative,

1069
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: they hate him only over style and will never even

1070
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: acknowledge that what he is doing is the very things

1071
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: that they advocated for in some cases twenty or thirty years. Well,

1072
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: there's a simple answer to that. Sean presidents get great

1073
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: on two levels. One is substance what they do what

1074
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: they do, but the other symbolic and the symbolism of

1075
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: who represents our country is tremendously important to many people.

1076
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: And that symbolism represents a lot of dreams, hopes, wishes,

1077
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: and the embodiment of personal values and virtues that people

1078
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: want to extend into that one person who represents the

1079
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: entire country. And that's the symbolic area of the office

1080
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: where it comes down to the president's fight and the

1081
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: way he goes after his opponents, the words he uses Charlottesville,

1082
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: those type of symbols that people look to the president

1083
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: to be the leader of all Americans for and given

1084
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: the president's animosity to President Trump, it's doubly hard for

1085
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: President Trump. But I'm with you on substantively. I can't

1086
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 1: see anybody making an intellectual argument against what President Trump

1087
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: has done. You see, this is where but you really

1088
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: stand out though, I mean, you have made an effort

1089
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 1: to study and understand Donald Trump. I really believe that,

1090
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you wins the times that maybe something

1091
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: that he tweets out or a shot that he takes

1092
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: or whatever. But at the end of the day, for me,

1093
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: I care too much about the people of the country.

1094
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: And if you've got to break a few dishes and

1095
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: offend a few people to get things done that weren't

1096
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: getting done, and to you know four and a half

1097
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: million new jobs are created, we have eight few million

1098
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: fewer people on food stamps and in poverty in America.

1099
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: I care more about them than I do about the

1100
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: feelings of the media or maybe some establishment Republicans, because

1101
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: that's not their way of getting it done when frankly,

1102
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: they didn't get it done well. And this is why

1103
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: I've never been a never Trumper. I've always gone into

1104
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: this with my eyes open and trying to be good

1105
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: analyst as opposed to an advocate. And I'm willing to

1106
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: call it the way I see it. If I think

1107
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: the President's gone too far and says something that is hurtful,

1108
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: I will call him on it, such as when the

1109
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: president the President Trump made fund to President George H. W.

1110
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: Bush over Points of Light. I said back then, I

1111
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: don't mind the President Trump's a fighter. I do mind

1112
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: that he can be rude. I didn't like that. I'll

1113
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: praise President Trump when he deserves praise, just as he

1114
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: did at the G twenty and what he's accomplishing with China,

1115
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: which is monumental. Monumental. Well, and sorry about stay right there.

1116
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't mean to interrupt you. We'll pick it up

1117
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: on that point, Ari Fleischer is with US media consultant

1118
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: also White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush

1119
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: forty three. As we continue, we really have. I had

1120
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: a great interview with both forty one and forty three

1121
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: together and this only happened twice now in American history

1122
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: where father and son become president. Amazing interview. I will

1123
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: say this, The love that they clearly have for each

1124
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: other is inspiring. It's it's a father's son relationship from

1125
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: my perspective, on the highest level, imaginable. Right. As we continue,

1126
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Ari Fleischer is with us remembering George Herbert Walker Bush.

1127
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: Have you spoken to the Bush family anybody forty three?

1128
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: I amn't. I was with former President George W. Bush

1129
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: about two months ago, and I was It's interesting because

1130
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: I asked him how his dad was doing, and he

1131
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: didn't give a direct answer to the question. He talked

1132
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: about his mom and her death met but I have

1133
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: not spoken to him since. Yeah. Well, it's he's getting

1134
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: the treatment that he deserves, and I know that the

1135
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: president expected. I guess tonight, I think during my hour

1136
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: to actually go over to the Capitol rotunda where he

1137
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: will pay his respects. I'm sure the first lady will

1138
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: be with him. Ari Fleischer, thanks so much for being

1139
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: with us. We appreciate it, and listen to I don't

01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: Sean Tolfrey telephone number. You want to be a part

1143
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: of the program. Why is Comey's lawyers now putting out

1144
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: legal challenges to squash congressional subpoenas? Is James Comey in

1145
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: any legal jeopardy? We'll get into that, David shown Greg Jarrett,

1146
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: and We'll get a lot of your calls. And I'm

1147
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: gonna get back to my Santa Bad Teacher story, which

1148
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: is so outrageous it makes my blood boil. How do

1149
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: you tell kids at five years old, oh, that Santa

1150
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: Claus doesn't exist, That none of that's true? What is

1151
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: wrong with people? Quick break right back, we'll continue stay

1152
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: right here for our final news round up and information overload.

1153
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: President tweeted on Friday after I got fired that I

1154
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: better hope there's not tapes. I woke up in the

1155
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: middle of the night on Monday night because it didn't

1156
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: dawn on me originally that there might be corroboration for

1157
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: our conversation, there might be a tape, and my judgment

1158
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: was I needed to get that out into the public square,

1159
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: and so I asked a friend of mine to share

1160
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: the content of the memo with a reporter. Didn't do

1161
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: it myself for a variety of reasons. I asked him too,

1162
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a

1163
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: special counsel. Unbelievable, a lot of news on the front

1164
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: as it relates to the deep State. Why was the

1165
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: FBI director He had a legal challenge that he ended

1166
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: up withdrawing. Sought seeking to quash a congressional subpoena that

1167
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: would compel him to testify in secret about the Bureau's

1168
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: decisions on the investigations I had at the twenty sixteen

1169
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: presidential election. More specifically, I'm sure it has to do

1170
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: with the fact that they changed the actual wording they

1171
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: were writing an exoneration in May early May twenty sixteen

1172
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: to Hillary Clinton the server that she had in a

1173
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: mom and pop shop bathroom closet. He had, the one

1174
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: with top secret class of Special Access Program information on it,

1175
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: which is a clear violation of the Espionage Act. I

1176
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: mean if Paul Manaford's going to get in trouble for

1177
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: putting false information on a loan application, and Papadopoulos is

1178
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: going to go to jail for two weeks for lying

1179
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: to the FBI. And thirty plus year military servant Lieutenant

1180
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: General Flynt. If he's going to go to jail for

1181
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: god knows how long and he has to plead to

1182
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: lying to the FBI when the FBI didn't think he lied,

1183
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: then I'm thinking that maybe Comey has to answer for

1184
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: why did you let her off the hook? And how

1185
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:39,479
Speaker 1: many other Americans get away with? Oh, let's delete the emails, bleach,

1186
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: bit the hard drives, and beat the crap out of

1187
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: the devices so that we don't have to comply with

1188
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: a congressional subpoena anyway, So Comy finally agrees to sit down.

1189
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: We have Jerome Corsi, who spent an hour with us

1190
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: last week earlier today, filing a criminal and ethics complaint

1191
01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: against Robert Muller and his team, accusing the investigators trying

1192
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: to bully him into giving false testimony, which gets to

1193
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: the heart of what we call the Sammy the bullgro HONO,

1194
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: you tell us what we want and we're going to

1195
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: get you a get out of jail free card, and

1196
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: that is a very scary scenario for the rest of

1197
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: the world. In my opinion, we can't have oh, we'll

1198
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: bribe you. And julianni is now accusing Mueller pressuring witnesses

1199
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: to lie, which is exactly what's happening anyway. Joining us

1200
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: to get to the latest developments on all this. David

1201
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: Shone's Civil liberties attorney, Criminal rights criminal defense attorney Greg Jarrett,

1202
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: Fox News Legal Analysts, author of the number one bestseller

1203
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: of The Russia Hoax. Welcome both of you. Let's start

1204
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 1: with you, Greg, and let's talk about Coomy and his

1205
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: decision and withdrawing his legal challenge. What are you thinks

1206
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: going on? Well, Coomey is a crafty, cunning guy. He's

1207
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: who slippery as an eel, and look at what he's done.

1208
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: He twisted the law to clear Hillary Clinton when he

1209
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: knew she committed crimes. Then he launched an investigation of

1210
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: Trump without evidence. Then he lied to a fisichord to

1211
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,520
Speaker 1: spy on a Trump associate. Then he stole government documents

1212
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: and leaked them to the media to trigger the Special Council.

1213
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Who's his pal and then he continuously has given deceptive

1214
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: answers to Congress. You know, if anybody should be charged

1215
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: with making a Falter misleading statement, it should become ten

1216
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: times over. So it'll be interesting to see how he

1217
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: holds up under cross examination in front of Congress, and

1218
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: we'll know the results within twenty four hours. In a

1219
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 1: radio interview on Sunday, Juliani accused Robert Muller David Schen

1220
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: of pressuring witnesses to lie. Now, that pretty much is

1221
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: what was described in detail on this program by Jerome Corsi.

1222
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Both Jerome Corsi and Roger Stone have repeated to me

1223
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: that they never, ever, in their lives, ever had any

1224
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,640
Speaker 1: contact with Wiki Leagues, a representative of Wiki Leagues, a

1225
01:09:56,680 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: third party associated with Wiki leagues, or Julian Assange. Now,

1226
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: if that's the case, if they're sending emails back and

1227
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: forth and wondering what else Wiki leagues might have, which

1228
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 1: was frankly the widespread speculation after the DNC emails dropped,

1229
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: Would that be a crime? Is that something nefarious? Is

1230
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: that anything outside of the ordinary when it comes to politics,

1231
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: especially when you compare it to Hillary Clinton, you know,

1232
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: hiring a foreign national to put together a dossier full

1233
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: of Russian lies that were fed to the American people

1234
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: and used to bludgeon Donald Trump. You'd percent right, So listen.

1235
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: The underlying issue here that you put your finger on

1236
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: is absolutely huge. This Jerome Corsi thing is sensational. Frankly,

1237
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: I don't know that it will go anyplace if they

1238
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: indict in there's an ongoing criminal case, because be very

1239
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: difficult to be hesitant to interfere with that. On the

1240
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: other hand, because it's an ethics complaints, clearly the Justice

1241
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 1: Department could do something. Just is where the overseer of

1242
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: the Special Council must act. You have witt Or there now.

1243
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: He has the authority and I would say even the

1244
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: obligation to act when he learns about this kind of contact,

1245
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: which was completely to be expected. When you have a

1246
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: team of people like Mueller, Weissman, Andreas, Ree, etc. This

1247
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: has been their mo throughout their careers. Joe, keep tell

1248
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: us what we want, you get off. Don't tell us

1249
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: what we want. You're gonna have more trouble than you

1250
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: ever could have imagined. That's not about getting it. But

1251
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: let me just add some context to that. That is

1252
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,719
Speaker 1: exactly what Jerome course he told us David this week,

1253
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: he said that he was told exactly what they wanted

1254
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: him to say. Now he's seventy two years old, and

1255
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: he could he knows he's risking potentially his life in jail.

1256
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:41,560
Speaker 1: By the way, so is Paul Manaford. I don't know

1257
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: how old Manaphord. He's got to be close to seventy, right.

1258
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: So Manaphord comes up with a cooperation deal after he

1259
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 1: had the partial convictions in the one trial that took

1260
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 1: place to avoid the other trial, and now we hear

1261
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: that Muller is just out for blood. I mean, how

1262
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: many more? How many years do you want to put

1263
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: Manaphord in jail? You want to guarantee that he dies

1264
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: in jail because of taxes and a bank loan fraud.

1265
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what if that's what the penalty is.

1266
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: I guess that's what he's going to get. It's called

1267
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: the justice system. This is a complete injustice. Nobody out

1268
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: there believes that this is how they operate day to day.

1269
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this is what these people have made

1270
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 1: a career of doing. In the run of the meal

1271
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: cases that don't get the attention. This is getting Nobody's

1272
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: done much in the past mc COURSI has done. Now

1273
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 1: he's at least putting it out there, whether it goes

1274
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: any place or not, he's putting it out there. And

1275
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: I believe within the Justice Department they have an obligation

1276
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: to find out if this is happening, you know that

1277
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: it is, and to rain it in immediately and to

1278
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: stop the special counsel from doing this or get rid

1279
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 1: of them. Well, we've been saying it for a long

1280
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 1: time now, I'm assuming here there was an article that

1281
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: came out no end in sight cone Manaphort development seen

1282
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: as keeping mulloprobe going well into twenty nineteen. So I

1283
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: guess now we've got a two year process in this,

1284
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett. But yet, you know, people ask me, well,

1285
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: why do you keep bringing up Hillary Clinton, Because well,

1286
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: if you don't Hillary Clinton, who pays for Russian lies

1287
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:06,799
Speaker 1: that are disseminated by top intelligence officials within our government

1288
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: to the American people before the election and then used

1289
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: to commit fraud to get Lawrence to spy on a

1290
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Trump campaign associate, and they don't do the proper vetting

1291
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: and corroboration, then that's fraud on affies. A court four

1292
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: separate times and then when it's used in a media

1293
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: league strategy as part of an insurance policy by top

1294
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: FBI people that think that Hillary should win one hundred

1295
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: million to zero, and we're also involved in her exoneration

1296
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 1: before investigation. I'm thinking that it's pretty relevant if we're

1297
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: going to consider principles of equal justice under the law

1298
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: and equal application of our laws. The only collusion with

1299
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Russian vault Hillary Clinton. Clinton paid for Russian information, set

1300
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: it to the FBI and the Department of Justice, who

1301
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: used it to launch an investigation fraudulently and in violation

1302
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: of their regulations, and then used it to spy on

1303
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 1: a Trump associate. Yet there is no investigation that we're

1304
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:07,600
Speaker 1: aware of, no legitimate investigation of Hillary Clinton, fusion, GPS,

1305
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele, James Comey, and the whole gang of corrupt

1306
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 1: individuals at the FBI and the Department of Justice. And

1307
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: yet juxtaposed the investigation of Trump, there's no evidence that

1308
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 1: he ever colluded or had an agreement of conspiracy or

1309
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 1: coordination with Russians to win the election. No, but there

1310
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 1: are two tracks though that Muller is obviously taking. If

1311
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: they can tie anybody that knows Donald Trump whether they

1312
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: communicated with him or not. And in the case of

1313
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: Roger Stone, he said absolutely not that they can somehow

1314
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: tie him to some knowledge of the Wiki leak's release. Well,

1315
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump didn't steal it, and Donald Trump didn't

1316
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 1: conspire to steal it, my reading of the Pentagon Papers

1317
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 1: ruling and six three Supreme Court decision is that they

1318
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: would have as much right to get that information as

1319
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: the New York Times has a right to get an imprint.

1320
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 1: Of course, he did exactly what I did. I reached

1321
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: out to Wiki Leaks and Julian Assange to get more information.

1322
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,759
Speaker 1: Did you get time to do that? No, I got nowhere.

1323
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Like hundreds of journalists correct what I agree with David

1324
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: that what by the way, I don't, But I got somewhere.

1325
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 1: I got an interview on radio, MTV interview. You're the

1326
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: only one who got anywhere. I'm not bragging or anything.

1327
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but Jerome Corsi has now laid out

1328
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 1: a complaint with the Department of Justice that Muller is

1329
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: trying to get him to sign on to a lie,

1330
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: to agree to a narrative that Mueller has conjured out

1331
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: of thin air of Trump Russian collusion. Of course he

1332
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 1: won't do it. He said, I'm not gonna lie about this,

1333
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 1: And apparently Manaford is doing the same thing. This is

1334
01:15:55,880 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: test the line. It's bribery, is extortion, intimidation, threats, and

1335
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: judicial bullying, and the person who should be held responsible

1336
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 1: is Robert Muller and his team of partisans. Well, if

1337
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: that's the case, and you know it is bribery, it

1338
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: is a thing of value. And I understand prosecutorial discretion,

1339
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: but there's a difference. You know, when you see a

1340
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: person and you go looking for a crime here, and

1341
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: you're willing to say to a guy that is going

1342
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:27,600
Speaker 1: to jail maybe for the rest of their life, you

1343
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: tell us what we want and we're gonna, we're gonna,

1344
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna take that jail issue away for you. That's

1345
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,600
Speaker 1: a pretty large incentive for most people. What do you

1346
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: want me to say? Okay, I'm Sammy the bull. I

1347
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: murdered what nineteen people? David? You do these cases? He

1348
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: murdered nineteen people. But he testifies against Gotti and some

1349
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,879
Speaker 1: other top mob guys and he gets a witness protection

1350
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 1: program house in Arizona. Pretty good deal. No jail time

1351
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,679
Speaker 1: for nineteen murders or time served when he was first caught. Yeah, listen,

1352
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: Legitimately it is called obstruction of justice. You don't see

1353
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: it prosecuted because all of these folks are in it

1354
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: together on the state level. You know, the state DA

1355
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 1: is elected and they all work together, et cetera. You

1356
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 1: have an opportunity now to really send a message again. Whittaker,

1357
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 1: under the Special Regulations on the Special Council Regulations, has

1358
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: an obligation to oversee all of this and to rein

1359
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: him in specifically, the regulations provide for him to call

1360
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: back conduct conduct that's inappropriate and to report that then

1361
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: to Congress. This is an opportunity. Now he's independent from Muller.

1362
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: That's you know, the natures that by definition, and when

1363
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: he hears about this happening, he must investigate. He must

1364
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: take action, even if the courts try to stop it,

1365
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: because it's interfering with the against coursey. Whittaker has an

1366
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 1: independent obligation to get into it. Well, there's a story

1367
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 1: out today that Mark Warner, the Democrat from Virginia, and

1368
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: that he has sent a number of referrals to Bob Muller.

1369
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: And he said this in a Sunday Sunday interview and

1370
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 1: its signals. You know the quote, if you lie to Congress,

1371
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,560
Speaker 1: and I'm your chairman, chairmanber On, they said, if you

1372
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,720
Speaker 1: lied to Congress, We're going after you. Now, I had

1373
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,480
Speaker 1: a whole list of people that had lied to Congress

1374
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: that have gotten away from gotten away with it time

1375
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: after time. The only person I know that's ever been

1376
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 1: held accountable is Michael Cohen. Yeah. And by the way,

1377
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: you know Christopher Steele, who phonied up this dossier that

1378
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: was used to damage Trump, a whole pretext for the

1379
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 1: investigation of Trump. He lied to the FBI agents. Why

1380
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 1: isn't there an outstanding indictment in order for extradition for

1381
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele? Why he lied to the FBI When he

1382
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: said I never talked to the media, Clearly he did

1383
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 1: talk to the media about the dossier he and Fusion

1384
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: GPS founder Glenn Simpson were feeding this. Simpson, by their way,

1385
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: has taken the Fifth against self incrimination. And so why

1386
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:55,480
Speaker 1: aren't there charges and prosecutions and indictments against these individuals.

1387
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: Why hasn't this been presented to a grand jury? Stay

1388
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 1: right there, Greg Jared David Shone on the other side,

1389
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 1: I'm going to get back to this issue with this

1390
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: teacher corruption that is now a bounds everywhere sadly in

1391
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,759
Speaker 1: just a minute, and as we continue with David Shone

1392
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 1: and Greg Jared, I only have about thirty seconds left

1393
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: each and we're gonna get the calls. And by the way,

1394
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 1: teachers telling five year olds that Santa doesn't exist. Do

1395
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 1: you think both Warner and Burr really mean it for

1396
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: those people that we know that lied to Congress, Greg,

1397
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: and they're really going to bring in all those Clinton

1398
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: people and charge them. I doubt it, No, of course not. No,

1399
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:36,679
Speaker 1: they never will. Hillary Clinton gave deceptive answers on numerous

1400
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: occasions under growth. She deceived the FBI during her interview.

1401
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 1: She'll never be held accountable unless there is a new

1402
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: appointed and confirmed Attorney General like a John Ratcliffe who's

1403
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: a congressman from Texas. He would clean house and hold

1404
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,680
Speaker 1: those accounts. Why do you have so much confidence in him?

1405
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: Broke in the law. All Let me give David the

1406
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: last thirty We'll talk about that later. What do you

1407
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: think they are all these people are going to be

1408
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:04,679
Speaker 1: held accountable? Because I doubt it. It It seems the Clinton's

1409
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: we have a two tier justice system, David, absolutely, and

1410
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: they absolutely will not be held accountable by that Congress. Listen.

1411
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: We saw it with when Struck, when he testified, people

1412
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: like Jerry Nadler made him out to be a hero.

1413
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 1: They're not looking for the truth. Let me say this,

1414
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 1: this Comy situation offers a great opportunity. They have to

1415
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: be prepared this time. They had Struck making him look

1416
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: like monkeys last time. They must be prepared to ask

1417
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 1: him the tough questions. He has a lot to answer for, Toomey,

1418
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: and he can't make you the circus in public like

1419
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,599
Speaker 1: he wants to do. Get him under oath and lock

1420
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,120
Speaker 1: him in. Have some people who know how to ask questions,

1421
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: asking him the questions. Even the IG noted Comey's a

1422
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: conduct in the slow rolling, the Wiener laptop business, all

1423
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: of those kinds of things, the leaks. Listen. I hope,

1424
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: I hope it happens, but I gotta be honest. I

1425
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of confidence, all right, David, thank you,

1426
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: and Happy Hanuka my friend by the way, and Greg,

1427
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: thank you, and happy Holidays to every buddy. Merry Christmas

1428
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: to everybody too. Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn

1429
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 1: told free telephone number, quick break right back your calls. Yeah,

1430
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: they're trying to tell five year olds now in school

1431
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: Santa doesn't exist. Really, you want to take all fun

1432
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 1: out of kids' lives completely. They can't keep scoring now,

1433
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: they can't do this, can't play dodgeball. Somebody might get hit.

1434
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: All right, twenty five now until the top of the hour,

1435
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one sewn toll free telephone numb.

1436
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to your calls here the story I

1437
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. By the way, little disclaimer here, if you

1438
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: have kids in the car, you may want to monitor

1439
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: the volume a little bit as you drive, because we're

1440
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,719
Speaker 1: talking about a teacher that said some really dumb things

1441
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: to five and six year olds. Can you believe this

1442
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: teacher in New Jersey? I mean it's a it's Cedar

1443
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 1: Hill Elementary School, and you know you got this New

1444
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:48,759
Speaker 1: Jersey substitute teacher. These are five and six year olds

1445
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 1: and she's telling them Santah doesn't exist, Santa Claus doesn't exist,

1446
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: and his reindeer aren't real. And it gets worse. She

1447
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 1: goes on and on and unleashing on five and six

1448
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,720
Speaker 1: year old kids. Santa isn't real. And parents, for are

1449
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: the ones that put the presents under the tree. She

1450
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 1: tells them, reindeer can't fly, elves aren't real. Elf on

1451
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: the shelf is just to pretend all that your parents

1452
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 1: move around, and the tooth fairies not real. Mom and

1453
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: dad sneak into your room in the middle of the

1454
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: night and put money under your pillow. They easter bunnies

1455
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: not real. Magic doesn't exist. There's no such thing as magic.

1456
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: This is a grown woman. You know. Why do people

1457
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: think that they have the right in school teachers, in

1458
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: this case five and six year olds, that they can

1459
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: contradict values of parents, because most parents want their kids

1460
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 1: to enjoy the anticipation, the excitement, the fun of Christmas

1461
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: and that season and Santa Claus. And some of the kids,

1462
01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 1: to their credit, they didn't believe the teacher, you know,

1463
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: some did. My granddaughter came home yesterday and told me, Mimi,

1464
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: Santa Claus isn't real, and I flipped out. The woman recalled,

1465
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 1: I had to explain to our Santa's real Sama. Of

1466
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: course Santa is real anyway. So I don't know why

1467
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 1: people want to take people's joy away all the time,

1468
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: all right before we get to your calls on this

1469
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine one, Sean. I think the other great

1470
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: story of the day too is Alice Sharpton's National Action Network.

1471
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton actually he gave himself five hundred and I

1472
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: thought thirty five thirty one thousand dollars and to give

1473
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: the his life story rights for a ten year period

1474
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: to his nonprofit in his latest tax filing. Oh man,

1475
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: I gotta pull this one off. I want to you know,

1476
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: this is sort of like Hillary, don't try this at home.

1477
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 1: Don't try subpoenaed email deletions and bleach bit of on

1478
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: your hard drive of busting up devices. Before we do,

1479
01:23:58,240 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: I want to just tell you I picked up a novel.

1480
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: So I work with wonderful people, the best people ever

1481
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: in radio. I have the best team I've ever had

1482
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: in all my years at Fox, and for many people

1483
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm literally work with me twenty plus years. It's it's

1484
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: and you get to know people, and I just have

1485
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 1: the best teams everywhere. And one guy is really he

1486
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: works over at Fox with me. His name is Dion

1487
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 1: and he actually wrote this book. And I picked up

1488
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 1: the book and I was blown away because it's called

1489
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: blood in the streets. It's over the course of seven

1490
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: days in New Haven in the seventies with a veteran

1491
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,799
Speaker 1: homicide detective by the name of Frank Succhi gradually losing

1492
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: his grip on sanity and sobriety while he's investigating the

1493
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 1: murder of his best friend's child, and he tells this

1494
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 1: whole story. I couldn't put the book down. And what

1495
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: even shocked me more is the nice thing. Why did

1496
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 1: you say all these nice things about me in the book.

1497
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that really hate Hannity, but

1498
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 1: he's really not that bad in real life. Dion is

1499
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 1: with us. How are you good, Sean? How are you

1500
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: on for Sean? How's everything? Thank you for having me on? Yeah,

1501
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: it's great, it's a great I couldn't put the book down.

1502
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 1: So I work with all these talented people at Fox

1503
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: UM And now you've you've done some acting work in

1504
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: the past. Correct, you've been on Neil Cavuto's show. Is

1505
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: another friend of a mutual friend of ours? Ryan? Yeah,

1506
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: that's correct. Yeah, I was going on Neil's show, helping

1507
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 1: him to demand Fox Business Network starting back in twenty eleven,

1508
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: and then I graduated to like a panel position on

1509
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: his Friday show. He occasionally does. But yeah, I work.

1510
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 1: I've been working with you, and it's it's so funny.

1511
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: I like to jokingly refer to you as the big

1512
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: brother I've never had. Oh yeah, you do every day

1513
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, and you jokingly refer to me as

1514
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:48,160

01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 1: just you're just saying that because I have I have

1526
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,519

1528
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: sixteen years working with to day and day out, it's

1529
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: great to see this side of the world of you know,

1530
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm usually just with at the TV show with you.

1531
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: I never get to see you on this side on

1532
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:27,639
Speaker 1: the radio show. It's it's really exciting. Yeah. The book

1533
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:31,639
Speaker 1: is Blood in the Streets. It's out tomorrow. It's a

1534
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: historical fiction of thriller that I've written. It started. I

1535
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: wrote it as a screenplay. It started it back in

1536
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, and it's taking me sixteen years

1537
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 1: to get the thing out And in two thousand and

1538
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: twelve I finally turned it into a book and I'm

1539
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 1: finally getting it out there. So you know, it's been

1540
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:47,680
Speaker 1: a long road for me to get this out to

1541
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: pasture and get it to the market. By the way,

1542
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: it's a truth you wrote in the acknowledgements that you

1543
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: know talking about me. You can literally ring Hannity up

1544
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 1: at three am and say I need ten grand for

1545
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 1: bail money and his only question and would be where

1546
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 1: do I send it? It's true, true, Yeah, it's it's

1547
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, just just how great of a guy. I mean,

1548
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: we work in a business where people can be you know,

1549
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: sometimes not that mean, or they can have or not

1550
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 1: that nice, and they can have a persona where they're

1551
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 1: very nice on TV, but then they're quite different to

1552
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: the people they work with day to day, and you're

1553
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 1: one of those exemptions where you're nice on and off

1554
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 1: and it's just except when you except when you grab

1555
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 1: my back, I can't stand like, so d we have

1556
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: to give a context to that because that sounds awkward. Yeah,

1557
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 1: I do audio, So I put the microphone in the

1558
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 1: year on him every day. And sometimes you know, Sean

1559
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:33,599
Speaker 1: will be running any hill, have other things on his mind,

1560
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: and I'm getting there trying to wire him up. And

1561
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: then you know, if something doesn't go right, you know,

1562
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 1: you're you're you got your mind another matter. So sometimes

1563
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: you just don't want to be, you know, I just

1564
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 1: don't like to be. There's two things that are really

1565
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: sensitive my life. Number one, my hearing is so shot

1566
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,600
Speaker 1: from thirty years of radio. If anyone like pulls in

1567
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 1: my ear, I'm like, oh, it's just the worst feeling.

1568
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: And then the other one is, you know, somebody groping

1569
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 1: your back instead of just you know, having a system

1570
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:58,839
Speaker 1: where we have now where it just takes two seconds

1571
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: and it's done. And it took a while for us

1572
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: to get that down. But yeah, you know, it's just

1573
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: it's it's great to work with you day in and

1574
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: day out. It's very nice. Well, I'm really proud of you.

1575
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, this this is a sixteen year

1576
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,879
Speaker 1: labor of love and it's called Blood in the Streets.

1577
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna put his book on Hannity dot com. You

1578
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,519

01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:31,519

1583
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: glad you're patient. Thanks for calling. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,

1584
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:40,000
Speaker 1: Happy Hanukkah. I think we can say it all. Yes,

1585
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 1: Happy Mary, Christmas. See Sean. And Um, it's quite an honor.

1586
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: You're very talented at what you do and I appreciate

1587
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:50,519
Speaker 1: you keeping list form. I'm glad to do it. It's

1588
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 1: my honor every day to have this microphone. Can you

1589
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 1: believe this teacher? Is this unbelievable? Um, I'm sad to

1590
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 1: say I'm not as shocked as I would have been

1591
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:02,400
Speaker 1: a few years ago. But after the whole Rudolph incidence

1592
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 1: and taking certain song Christmas songs off the air. I

1593
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,920
Speaker 1: just yeah, I guess for a five year old it's

1594
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: a little extreme, but yeah, it's crazy. They shouldn't do it.

1595
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a parent's job to teach the traditions they

1596
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: want their children to have and to grow up with.

1597
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 1: It's not it's not a teacher's definitely not a substitute

1598
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: teacher's show. Yeah. Look, I you know, it's just as

1599
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,840
Speaker 1: it's like for a five year old kid. This is

1600
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: like Santa. You know, they're just at the age where

1601
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 1: they're realizing that, oh my gosh, once a year this

1602
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 1: guy had a you know, a real real heavy guy

1603
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 1: in a big red suit with a big white beard

1604
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 1: and a nice hat, and reindeer with Rudolph leading the way,

1605
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:46,839
Speaker 1: you know, flies and they're gonna come down my chimney

1606
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 1: and they're gonna and they're gonna put presents under the tree.

1607
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: And if I had been a bad boy or a

1608
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 1: good boy or a good girl or bad I know,

1609
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:56,479
Speaker 1: I might get cold or whatever. And it's unbelievable that

1610
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,759
Speaker 1: this is what teachers do. Though they have a captive

1611
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:03,759
Speaker 1: all Adians, and many of them indoctrinate. They don't teach

1612
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 1: and the idea that they feel that they have a

1613
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:14,520
Speaker 1: right somehow to abandon a mission of reading, writing, and arithmetic,

1614
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: of which they're not doing great in themselves in terms

1615
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:21,720
Speaker 1: of where you know, we pay more money per capita,

1616
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 1: per student, per education with you know, some of the

1617
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 1: worst results, and you have those unholy alliance with teachers

1618
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 1: unions and uh, you know that protect bad teachers and

1619
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party can't fire bad teachers. I mean, it's

1620
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 1: horrible and now we're gonna now we're gonna shatter kids

1621
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 1: dreams and then too bad for you if you don't

1622
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:45,919
Speaker 1: like it. That's where you have only have one choice anyway,

1623
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, Alison. You know, you live in a state

1624
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 1: of New York, and let's say you're in Westchester County,

1625
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 1: the number one property tax county in the country, or

1626
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 1: you live in Nassau County, the number two property tax

1627
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,640
Speaker 1: county in the country, and New York forget it, real

1628
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 1: estate through the roof. And so you pay for these

1629
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:07,599
Speaker 1: schools with these high property taxes supposedly, and then all

1630
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:10,840
Speaker 1: the lottery money that's supposed to go to education, and

1631
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 1: you have one choice because you're paying so much in taxes.

1632
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 1: Then the idea of them putting another forty thousand dollars

1633
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 1: down for a private education for your kids. Then you're

1634
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,639
Speaker 1: paying for schools you don't use, and then you're paying

1635
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 1: for on top of the high property taxes. You just

1636
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:30,839
Speaker 1: they get you coming and going, and then it doesn't

1637
01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 1: matter what you values you may have as a parent,

1638
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 1: they're not going to honor them. Unbelievable. Guy is in Maryland. Guy, Hi,

1639
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:42,719
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Oh? Hey, Sean, thanks

1640
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Hey listen, Sean, that teacher was

1641
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: a total jackass. But listen, you can turn a negative

1642
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:51,679
Speaker 1: into a positive. Listen to what my wife is starting

1643
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 1: to do. When people say that Santa Claus doesn't exist,

1644
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: she says, wait a minute, he definitely existed, you know,

1645
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, we have his history, a presence, he did

1646
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 1: all this. But if if he has passed on, now

1647
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: the parents have picked up and now the parents are

1648
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 1: doing the Santa Claus job. So that's what we've done

1649
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,200
Speaker 1: to lighten them, to lighten the load. When you have

1650
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 1: like idiot teachers like that, you know, if the problem

1651
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,400
Speaker 1: is it's at every level, I mean it's it's in

1652
01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 1: grammar school, grade school, high school, now we're going after

1653
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:25,720
Speaker 1: five year olds. Now we can contradict every value that

1654
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 1: parents want to instill in their kids, and still our

1655
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:31,760
Speaker 1: kids can't read or write. And I'm a teacher and

1656
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you education has moved so far to the left,

1657
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 1: and until we get the value education back into schools,

1658
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,439
Speaker 1: it's never going to get better. You got to teach

1659
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 1: values first before you can straighten up education. Okay, there's

1660
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 1: no values. These people that these people that are running

1661
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 1: the show have no values. So how the heck are

1662
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:53,680

1696
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 1: the American Border Foundation, and I don't know if you

01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: or your listeners know about them, but we want the

1698
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:44,080

1701
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 1: It just irks me with all the tax money we

1702
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,400
Speaker 1: pay and all the money that gets spent, and all,

1703
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, for all these countries, including those that you

1704
01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:00,000
Speaker 1: know where they are citizens are not respecting our laws

1705
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: and sovereignty. And I'm just like, why why do I

1706
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 1: have to get I mean, I get it, and other

1707
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 1: people have suggested it to me, but I'm like, ugh,

1708
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:11,559

1709
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 1: Securing our boarders is at their job. It's about national

1710
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,559
Speaker 1: security more than anything else, and it's about the rule

1711
01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:21,879
Speaker 1: of law. And you have so many people that literally

Speaker 1: and abetting sittings, are aiding and abetting sanctuary cities criminal activity,

1714
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:34,560
Speaker 1: and there's no consequences. But if you're a Republican, you're

1715
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna be locked up. Don't do anything wrong, all right,
