1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Radio show podcast. Let me just say,

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: I think Dick and I agree with what Chuck Grassley

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: just said. When was the last time that happened? We

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: need to take care of these doctor kids, and we

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: all agree on that. Of the American public agrees on that.

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: With all due respect, Bob and Mike uh and lindsay Uh,

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: there are some things that you're proposing. They're going to

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: be very controversial and will be an impediment to agreement.

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: But you're gonna negotiate test things. You're gonna sit down

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: and you're gonna say, listen, we can't agree here. We

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: will give you half of that. We're gonna You're gonna negotiation.

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: Comprehensive means comprehensive. We're not talking about now, we're talking

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: about we aren't. We are talking about comprehensive because you

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: want to go there, It's okay, because you're not that

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: far a president. Many of the things that are mentioned

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: ought to be a part of the negotiations regarding comprehensive immigration.

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: If you want to take it this step further, you

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: may I'm gonna have to relax, you think they complicated

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: and you may delay docus of what I don't want

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: to do that you said at the outset we need

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: to phase this. I think the first phase is a

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: Chuck and Stinny and I have mentioned others as well.

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: We have a deadline looming and a lot of lives

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: hanging that we can agree on some very fundamental and

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: important things together on border security, on chain, on the

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: future of diversity, visas comprehensive though I worked on it

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: for six months with Michael Bennett and UH, a number

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: of bombinandez Uh and Schumer and the Caine and Jeff Lake,

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: and it took us six months to put it together.

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: We don't have six months for the DOCU. Well, you

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: give mentioned a number of factors that are going to

33
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: be controversial, as Stintys Mitchon, I think you're gonna negotia

34
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll agree, and maybe we won't. I mean,

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's possible we're not gonna agree with you,

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: and it's possible way, but there should be no reason

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: for us not to get this done. And Chuck, I

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: will say when this group comes a hopefully with an agreement,

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: this group and others from the Senate from the House

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: comes back with an agreement. I'm signing it. I mean

41
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: I will be signing it. I'm not going to say,

42
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: oh gee, I want to start with that. I'll be

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: signing it because I have a lot of confidence in

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: the people in this room that you're gonna come up

45
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: with something really good. Senator, would you like to say

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: something that that was Steenny Hoyer? This was one of

47
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: the most fascinating. Now, don't don't don't take me the

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: wrong way here, or there's things said in this meeting

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: that you know, literally, you know, are making me angry

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: about what is being presented and what they're talking about here.

51
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: But in terms of fascinating transparency of actual meetings of substance,

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: it was pretty historic because we don't usually get to

53
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: sit on and on those meetings. And I actually made

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: it as I was watching it today, I said, you

55
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna run this in full in the

56
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: next hour and then we'll be talking about it later

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: in the program. But um, it was a discussion about immigration,

58
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: and it was a discussion about Dhaka, and it was

59
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: a discussion about chain migration, and it was a discussion

60
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: about the border wall, and actually I think the person

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: that came out looking the best on the Republican side

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: was the House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who went on

63
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: and on about we need security, we need border security,

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: which means it's part of leadership. It kind of took

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: me a little bit by surprise. Wasn't expecting that. At

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: least the part that I heard. I didn't hear all

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: of it, but the part that I was paying attention

68
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: to because I'm prepping for the show. Um. And but this,

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: this is my problem with all of this is that

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, what bothers me is

71
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: any time you make a deal with Democrats. And by

72
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the way, the President was talking to Chuck Grassley, not

73
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. Schumer wasn't in the room for this particular media.

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Stanny Hoyer was in there, I thought. Also the House

75
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: Homeland Security Secretary. She was phenomenal today and her comments

76
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: talking about the need for border security and ending chain

77
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: migration and of all the other safety measures. But this

78
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: goes back to a simple argument that I always make,

79
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: and that is, you always get the spending increases of government,

80
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: and then as part of a quote comprehensive deal, you

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: always get the tax cuts promise later down the line,

82
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: you never get the tax cuts. New Congress is never

83
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: abide by the promises that they make. Now, we've been

84
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: promised going back to two thousand and six that we're

85
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: gonna have border security, and that doesn't happen time and

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: time again. So my answer to all of this is,

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: if you build the wall, expeditiously, fund it fully, get

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: it moving, then you can talk about any other topic

89
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: you want to talk about. But I'm not buying that

90
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen down the road. And I do believe

91
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: that the President is committed to building the wall and

92
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: and building border security and stopping Shain migration, and I

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: think he's committed to Kate Steinley's law, which the House

94
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: had passed, and all of these things that we talk

95
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: about all of the time. Out the President has been

96
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: reiterating over and over again that we need this border wall,

97
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: and it's about eighteen billion dollars and he's requested the

98
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 1: full eighteen billion dollars, roughly one cent for every twenty

99
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: spent by the federal government for now, and that's not

100
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of money. And Dick Durbin, who sat next

101
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: to the president, you know, was very angry at the

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: President's negotiating stats outrageous the White House would undercut months

103
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: of bipartisan efforts by again trying to put its entire

104
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: wish list of hardline anti immigrant bills plus an additional

105
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: eighteen billion dollars in wall funding, on the back of

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: these young illegal immigrants that that well, they're not young anymore.

107
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, they're in their twenties. And you know, as

108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: part of any deal, I gotta believe there's gonna be

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: some vetting that takes place. He can't mention vetting because

110
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: if you mentioned vetting to anybody, you know, making sure

111
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: that these people have America's best interest at heart, and

112
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: that America, you know, in future immigration that we get

113
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: to pick and choose who gets to come in this country,

114
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: and we can choose the best and brightest and greatest

115
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: that are gonna contribute the most of society, which is

116
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: what most other countries now do. If you look at

117
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Australia New Zealand, you want to get in, it's gonna

118
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 1: cost your boatload of money investing in in some type

119
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: of economic uh endeavor that that benefits the people of

120
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: New Zealand and Australia you know, they have amazing immigration

121
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: policies too. And in Australia, if you're on a boat

122
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: and you're making about to hit shore, they're not even

123
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna let you hit the shore. They're gonna pack you

124
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: full of food, water, medicine supplies, and if you're really sick,

125
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: they'll take you to a hospital out of the country.

126
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: But then you're going back to where you came from.

127
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's mean. And by the way,

128
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: that's Mexico's policies. If you're coming from Nicaragua Orl Salvador,

129
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: Central America. You know the fact that we want to

130
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: know who's coming into this country does not make us

131
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: bad people. Because we open the doors fully and completely,

132
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: everybody would want to come in here. And I don't

133
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: blame people for wanting to leave, you know, broken down,

134
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: dilapidated communities and countries where you know you have narco terrorism,

135
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: you know, leading a particular town and shaking people down

136
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: for pennies, you know, every single day, poor people, and

137
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: you don't think that happens that happens in places like

138
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: El Salvador every day. So the President, I think is

139
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: right in what he's asking for. Building the border wall.

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: He put out a seven page document which was delivered

141
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: to both Senators and UH congressmen from Homeland Security. This

142
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: was last Friday, including heightened rules for unaccompanied miners arriving

143
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: in the country, limits on chain migration, eighteen billion dollars

144
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: for the wall, also increases for enforcement against immigrants who

145
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: will legally overstay their visas, punishing cities who take on

146
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: sanctuary city policies to thwart federal enforcement of immigration laws.

147
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: All that is is aiding and abetting, frankly lawbreaking by

148
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: states and towns and municipalities. Anyway, and then you've got

149
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: the Democrats say, well, President Trump has said he may

150
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: need a good government shutdown to get this wall. Durban said,

151
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: with this demand, he seems to be heading in that direction.

152
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: I know, I could care less about a government shutdown.

153
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: Shut the government down. It's not like we're gonna save

154
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: any money because key employees is what they say, are

155
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: essential employees. They still stay in work. Congress will stay

156
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: and work. The military is on standby, they're working, you know.

157
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: The only people then the people that end up being

158
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: furloughed for whatever period of time, they end up getting

159
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: back pay every time. Anyway, It's not like it's it's

160
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna impact anybody's life here in America. I can tell

161
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: you that for a fact. It's just a threat that

162
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: they all use and they have this unnatural fear of

163
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: all of this. You know, what are we gonna do

164
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: about California now that it's a sanctuary state. You know

165
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: what changed here is you know the bill in California

166
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: passed by the State of California. Now it's law in

167
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: California as of January one. It literally limits the cooperation

168
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: between California state local officials and federal immigration enforcement. In

169
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: other words, the state of California is aiding and abetting

170
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: in the committing of a crime and they're not following,

171
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, federal law. Now, I can't imagine that Jerry

172
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: Brown's gonna get arrested or anybody state or local official

173
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: is gonna get arrested. But if they're not gonna follow laws,

174
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: then why is it that they get federal money at

175
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: that particular point? And I think a showdown needs to happen,

176
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: and happen now. States can't just pick and choose what

177
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: laws they're gonna follow on which laws they're not gonna follow.

178
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: It's called the California Values Act SP sent a bill

179
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: fifty four, and uh, you can inquire about an individual's

180
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: immigration status. You can't detain someone on a hold request

181
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: from the federal government somebody. Oh, We've had instance after

182
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: instance where people look at the Kate Steinley case is

183
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: one of them, where you know, you have a hold

184
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: request from the federal government and local authorities don't abide

185
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: by it and they let somebody off the hook to

186
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: go free. Well, we've had instances where people literally have

187
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: died because of those policies. You know, the unless there's

188
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: a felony warrant or the person has been convicted of

189
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: one of the crimes specifically listed in the legislation. Otherwise

190
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: they let them go free. In California, you can't arrest

191
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: someone for civil immigration warrants alone. You know, you can't

192
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: deputize as immigration agents, meaning people in California can't be deputized.

193
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: You can't participate in border patrol activities. I guess that

194
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: means if you know a bunch of people walking across

195
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: the border, you can't arrest them. And it's like, okay,

196
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: what do we know about those people? You know, the

197
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: twelve trips I made down to the border. I did

198
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: see gang members. I found out later the people that

199
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: were arrested they happen to be part of a gang.

200
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: I've been to the drug warehouses. I've seen the tunnels

201
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: and the efforts that go into bringing people, you know,

202
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: drug trafficking, human trafficking. It's all happening in California. You

203
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: can't participate in a joint task force with the federal

204
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: government if the purpose is immigration enforcement. You can't notify

205
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: the federal government of someone's release or transfer to federal

206
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: custody at all unless there's a federal warrant of the

207
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: person has been convicted of one of the crimes listed

208
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: in the bill. You know, with no exceptions. Agencies are

209
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: barred for asking about their status, detaining on a whold request,

210
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: participating in arrest based on civil immigration warrants, placing officers

211
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: under supervision of federal immigration agencies, deputizing them, using ice

212
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: agents as interpreters for law enforcement, or participating in border patrol.

213
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: And the only provisions that they allow is providing information

214
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: regarding an inmates release date from county jail unless information

215
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: is available to the public and the person has been

216
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: convicted of certain crimes or transferring someone ice. You can't

217
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: do that either. It's unbelievable and I'm just trying to

218
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: understand it all. What's the point here? Eight nine for one,

219
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Shawn is a toll free telephone number if you want

220
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program here anyway, it's

221
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: the you know, and I'll play when we get back,

222
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: or we just played for you. The Democrats of Ultra

223
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: will play it later. At the bottom of the era.

224
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: All these democrats, they all supported building a border wall

225
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: under Barack Obama not that long ago. It takes your

226
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: breath away, the level of hypocrisy. If Trump supports it,

227
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: bad Obama supports it. Good talk about politicizing something, all right,

228
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: as we roll along Sean Hannity Show. You know, with

229
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: all the coverage of the Michael wolf book, you know,

230
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: and hasn't been covered, I mean, I think it's now

231
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: in it's the client phase very quickly. Is how many

232
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: people have disputed what is in this book? And it's

233
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: like and even Michael Wolfe admitting himself, oh if it's

234
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: what was the words that he used? It was actually miraculous,

235
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: you know, he won one one he predicted was the

236
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: end of the Trump president. If it's rings true, then

237
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: it is true. That was his latest comment. You have tapes?

238
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Are you going to release the tapes? Now? I'm gonna

239
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: do you know, I have what every journalists I worked

240
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: like like every journalist, I have tapes, I have notes.

241
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: You're questioning it. Why not produce the evidence, because because

242
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: that's not what what I'm not. I'm not in your business.

243
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: My evidence is the book. Read the book if it

244
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: makes sense to you, if it strikes a quif it

245
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: rings true, it is true. If it rings true, it

246
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: is true. And I'll just I'll use my case in

247
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: and point and just say this. Now, I was on

248
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: a plane with Michael going down to Roger ELL's funeral.

249
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: He writes about it in a book, and then he

250
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: brings up other issues involving me. He knows how to

251
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: get in contact with me, and he says, somebody said

252
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: this about you, and it's just not true. Now if

253
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: he can just because it rings true doesn't make it true.

254
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: All he had to do is pick up the phone

255
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: and say, Sean, by the way, I want to ask

256
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: you someone so said such and such, what is your response?

257
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: And I would have given him the truth. But it's

258
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: not just me, you know. Mark Berman disputes that he

259
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: was even at the fourth season. He's the national reporter

260
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: for the Washington Post. I saw Maggie Haberman not too

261
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: happy with the way she was presented in the book.

262
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller disputes claims in the book. Sarah Sanders disputes

263
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: claims in the book. The President obviously disputes claims in

264
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: the book. Gary Cohne disputes even wrote an email that's

265
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: in the book. I disputed, you know, certain points of

266
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: the book. Mike Pompeo disputed claims in the book. McConnell's

267
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: a disputed claims in the book. Tom Barack disputed uh

268
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: that he called Trump stupid and a wind tour of

269
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: al and a wind pour. You know, every once in

270
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: a while, if I go to the U s open,

271
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: she's always sitting there with her glasses on in the dark.

272
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: It's pretty hilarious. And the glasses over her whole face

273
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: pretty funny. Once I said hello to or Mere Mortals,

274
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: it must be whatever anyway. Tony Blair disputes numerous accounts

275
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: in the book. Melania Trump, Laura Ingram, and the list

276
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: goes on. And then there's certain things in the book

277
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: that are provably false. You know if if he's claiming

278
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: in the book, well, Trump didn't even know who John

279
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: Bayner was, And you go back and look at Trump's

280
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: Twitter and there are at least five separate references to

281
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: John Bayner, and he played golf with John Bayner, loser

282
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: that he is, then I guess there's not a problem

283
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: O the way. Painter is full of crap too. He

284
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: lied about me. What is wrong with these people? I

285
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: don't wait. Well, Fox is gonna be all over this

286
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: immigrant Yeah, I'm gonna be over. I want the border built,

287
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: the border wall built, like everybody else, and I don't

288
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: want to hear a lot of talk of out and

289
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: a quick break right back your calls, e Shan. People

290
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens,

291
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as

292
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: people who entered the US legally. President's decision to end

293
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: DACA was heartless and it was brainless. When we use

294
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message to the

295
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: American people that their government is not serious about combating

296
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. Hundreds, hundreds of thousands of families will be

297
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: ripped apart. If you don't think it's illegal, you're not

298
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: gonna say it. I think it is illegal and wrong.

299
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: Ends of thousands of American businesses will lose hard working employees.

300
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: And the argument them as the president is Americans don't

301
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: want to do the work. Wait, just can't find American

302
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: workers to do the work. But the president that is

303
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: a crock in many instances, it's just not true. In

304
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: my view, from decision to end the doctor program was

305
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand young people. Is the cruelest and most

306
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: ugly presidential act in the modern history of this country.

307
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: I cannot think of one single act which is ugly

308
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: and more cruel. We've got to do several things, and

309
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants. People have

310
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: to stop employing illegal immigrants. Come up to Westchester, go

311
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: to Suffolk and Nasau County. Stand in the street corners

312
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn or the Bronx. You're gonna see loads of

313
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: people waiting to get picked up to go do yard

314
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: work and construction work and domestic work. You know, Idy,

315
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: this is not a problem that the people who were

316
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: coming into the country are solely responsible for the becoming.

317
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: If we didn't put them to work. My proposal will

318
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: keep families together, and it will include a path to

319
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: citizen check. The number of immigrants added to the labor

320
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: force every year is of a magnitude not seen in

321
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: this country for over a century. If this huge influx

322
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: of mostly low skilled workers provide some benefits to the

323
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: economy as a whole, it also threads to depress further

324
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: the wages of blue collar Americans and put strains on

325
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: an already overburdened safety net. Immigrants aren't the principal reason

326
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: wages haven't gone up. There are those in the immigrants

327
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: rights community who have argued passionately that we should simply

328
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: provide those who are illegally with legal status, or at

329
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: least ignore the laws on the books and put an

330
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: end to deportation until we have better laws. But I

331
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: believe such an indiscriminate approach would be both unwise and unfair.

332
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: It would suggest to those thinking about coming here illegally

333
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: that there will be no repercussions for such a decision,

334
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: and this could lead to a surge in more illegal immigration.

335
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: These are students, their teachers, their doctors, their lawyers, their

336
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Americans in every way, but on paper, those who enter

337
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the

338
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: rule of law. Uh, and they are showing disregard for

339
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: those who are following the law. We simply cannot allow

340
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked,

341
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently,

342
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: and lawfully to become immigrants. Real reform means establishing a

343
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: responsible pathway to earn citizenship. All right, twenty three till

344
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. What you hear there is

345
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: every single second that they just changed their minds, Like

346
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: what's wrong with them? It's like, you know, we'll we'll

347
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: have this position today, we'll have this. But you know

348
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: what it's that is the typical politician putting their finger

349
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: in the air and saying, which way is the wind

350
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: blowing today? And that's gonna be my position on this.

351
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: And now the Democrats that are speaking out so loudly

352
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: against building the wall and the president is holding up

353
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna build the wall. We're gonna play this. I mean,

354
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: it was a fascinating exchange. One other observation, and and

355
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: you'll hear this in the in the next hour as

356
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: they sat there for straight minutes talking and it was real.

357
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: It was a real discussion. It wasn't your typical Washington

358
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: speak discussion. And they knew the cameras were rolling. The

359
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: fact that they let the cameras continue to roll as

360
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: a good thing. And by the way, Donald Trump didn't

361
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: look crazy, it didn't sound crazy, it didn't sound like

362
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: it's unhinged, it didn't sound impatient. There was no angst

363
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: or anger on either side. So Stenny Hoyer got a

364
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: little heated. But short of that, I mean, you know,

365
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: this entire narrative got blown out of the water right there.

366
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: And then that we've been hearing on the Amendment. You

367
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: know this, Alan dersho Wo had said on the TV

368
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: show last night, that is not what the Amendment was

369
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: designed for. Designed if a president is incapacitated, if a

370
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: president has a stroke, if a president is going under

371
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: the knife and campy and it's not going to be

372
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: available to make decisions, and the power temporarily would then

373
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: move to the vice president. That's the only clarification that

374
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: that was ever all about. But it doesn't matter in

375
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: the minds of people on the left. So now, for

376
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: forty five minutes, all these Democrats that are constantly attacking

377
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: the president. Well, there they were, you know, sitting there

378
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: having a discussion with them. The answer simple, by the way,

379
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: and the answer is secure the border. First, the only

380
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: thing the amendment did was take away the ambiguous wording

381
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: of Article two, Section one, Clause six of the Constitution

382
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: didn't expressly state whether the vice president becomes the president

383
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: or acting president if a president dies or resigns, or

384
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: is removed for office or otherwise unable to discharge the

385
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: powers of the presidency. Clearly, the president was in command

386
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: as he always is. Just who he is that they

387
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: don't like, and that's their problem. But what you just

388
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: heard there, Democrats now pretending that the president's intention to

389
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: build a border wall is absolutely around the bend, bonkers

390
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: and racist to boot, Well, I guess they were all

391
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: racist and beyond the bend themselves for years, because you'd

392
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: hardly know it, because the same Democrats supported building the

393
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: border wall as part of the proposed immigration deal under Obama.

394
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: That was five years ago. The entire Senate Democratic Caucus

395
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: voted to build hundreds of miles of fencing along the

396
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: US Mexico border. That was the Border Security Economic Opportunity

397
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: and Immigration Modernization Act called for the deployment of an

398
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: additional seven hundred miles of fencing in technology along the

399
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: Mexico border, the same area that the Trump border wall

400
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: would cover, and the plan devoted forty billion over a

401
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: decade to border enforcement measures that would double the number

402
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: of border agents. On the other side, the bill made

403
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: a host of visa reforms and offered a path to

404
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: legal status for some illegal immigrants. So you know they're

405
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: they're the ones that have changed their minds on all

406
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: of this and all President Trump did say today or

407
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: in the meeting, you know, after initially seeming open. If

408
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: you hear this in the beginning, he said, whoa, whoa,

409
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: whoa slow down when he's answering Diane Feinstein. Trump clarified

410
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: his position, telling the meeting, you need the wall. But

411
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: I say you need the wall first, because you're never

412
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna get the wall built if you if you make

413
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: any if you acquiesce in any way to what the

414
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: Democrats want first. When reporters asked Trump later in the

415
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: meeting if he would agree to a DOCCA deal without

416
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: the wall, the President said, you need the wall, and

417
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: he's stuck up for that position. As some of you

418
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: are gonna be angry that he's doing anything with DACA,

419
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: and I fully completely understand it, but I'm gonna tell

420
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 1: you what the absolute truth on that is. Is, just

421
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: like health care, when push came to shove, we learned

422
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: a hundred Republican congressmen had no intention ever of repealing

423
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: and replacing Obamacare, none. And then we had Senators that

424
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: voted in for just a clean repeal of Obamacare, and

425
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: seven of them when they could have actually gotten it

426
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: done in seventeen, they absolutely didn't do it. They had

427
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: no intention of ever doing it. Well, I can tell

428
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: you there are too many Republicans that want the DOCCA

429
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: fix and that's just the reality. So you can say, well,

430
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: the president's changing his position. I don't think he's changing

431
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: it at all. I think the President actually wants the

432
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: wall built, and he wants it built and is going

433
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: to make it a part of the deal and get

434
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: the thing built. The other impressive person in that meeting,

435
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: I felt was the new Department of Homeland Securities secretary.

436
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: She was amazing in this meeting, and she was standing

437
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: up for the President's principals there. But you need the

438
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: wall I say you need the wall first. I need

439
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: security first before you do anything. But this flipping and

440
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: flopping is unbelievable. Um, So we're gonna run this meeting

441
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: in the next hour. And now one other thing we've

442
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: got to follow, and that's John Solomon and Sarah Carter

443
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: breaking more noose. By the way, Kristin Nielsen is the

444
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Homeland Security Secretary. Now it took over for General Kelly.

445
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: But anyway, they broke an article last night about FBI

446
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: agents and their text messages, and now congressional probe into

447
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: these new leaks. You know, there are hundred of these

448
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: emails between Peter Struck. Peter Struck is the guy that

449
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: interviewed Michael Flynn. He was at the heart of the

450
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: email server investigation. Peter Struck is the one that wrote

451
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: the exoneration with Jim Comey before the investigation. He was

452
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: there to interview Hillary Clint. He's in the middle of everything.

453
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: And now we got more of these emails and it's

454
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: now leading a Republican House and Senate committees investigating whether

455
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: leaders of the Russian counterintelligence investigation had contacts with the

456
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: news media that resulted in them leaking to the news media.

457
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: Now this is all prompted in part by messages between

458
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: Struck and his uh I guess girlfriend or mistress Lisa Page,

459
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Anyway, So there's a

460
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: part of these new exchanges. And in a series of

461
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: texts that were released just before election Day sixteen, they

462
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: knew in advance about a Wall Street Journal article. Article

463
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: is out, but hidden beyond a behind a pay wall,

464
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: so you can't read it. Lisa Page texted Struck Wall

465
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: Street Journal, Boy, that was fast. Article is out? Boy,

466
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: that was fast. That sounds like they knew the article

467
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: was coming. That means they leaked for the article. Anyway.

468
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: There are a whole bunch of these text messages and

469
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: then they try to cover up. Well, I can act

470
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: like I got it on Google Alert. They're saying this way,

471
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: people won't suspect us. Anyway. Struck played a key role

472
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: in the early Russia election meddling probe, and he was

473
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: the one that constructed the the exoneration of Hillary before

474
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: the investigation. Lisa Page was the was serving as the

475
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: lawyer that advised the FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. That's problematic.

476
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: Now they want to know about these media contacts, and

477
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: they want to be able to prove these media contacts.

478
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: But anyway, UM, there's now twenty seven specific leak investigations

479
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: going on. One of them needs to be about General

480
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: Flynn because we know that he was surveiled and unmasked

481
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: and then raw intelligence was leaked against him. And on

482
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: top of that, we've got FBI contacts with the media.

483
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: You know, I think at all ends of this at

484
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: just reeks of them trying to control the narrative in

485
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: this country, especially as it relates to their narrative to her.

486
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: The president remember struck in page hate Donald Trump, and

487
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: that raises questions why he's up to his eyeballs and

488
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: the exoneration of Hillary and going after Donald Trump on

489
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: everything possible. Anyway, there's more information about the case. Member.

490
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: There was a former FBI director, James Comey, was on

491
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: his watch that the Russia case began, and uh he

492
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: had previously testified he didn't authorize or engage in leaking,

493
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: but then he leaked as soon as he got out

494
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: of office, and this whole thing goes on. Andrew Weisman

495
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: apparently we're now learning too that he had contact with

496
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: the media. We're gonna learn more about that incoming days,

497
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: and in a deal with the FBI Director Christopher Ray

498
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: and the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Is why he

499
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: was in Paul Ryan's office begging last week not to

500
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: have to go through all of this stuff. Justice officials

501
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: have promised to provide the Intelligence Committee of information about

502
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: Weissman's contacts. That's the guy that that literally put tens

503
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: of thousands of of Anderson Accounting employees out of work

504
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: at a nine oh Supreme Court decision against him overthrown

505
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: in his obstruction case. There and in the Enron case,

506
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: have put four meryal executives in jail for a year,

507
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: and that was overturned by the Fifth Circuit. Anyway, one

508
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: string of messages, five days before the election day November

509
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Page wrote struck that the counter intelligence agent Anyway to

510
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: the Washington Post about a timeline of the Hillary Clinton

511
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: email investigation, and Page mentions a conversation that she had

512
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: just had with the FBI chief of staff and openly

513
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: expressed concern that the information about Hillary's timeline the FBI

514
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: timeline was too specific for comfort. Of course, she wants

515
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: to protect Hillary. That was the whole reason they exonerated

516
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: Hillary without investigating Hillary. A few days earlier, Struck a

517
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: texted page about another new article, suggesting it was anti FBI,

518
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: and m Page texted that she'd seen the article. Makes

519
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: me feel way less bad about throwing him under the

520
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: bus to the forthcoming CF article. See if I'm assuming

521
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: is Clinton foundation article? What article did that turn out

522
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: to be? We need to find out. And then we

523
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: have other exchanges, you know, like congressional investigators want to

524
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: now question Struck about what he meant by saying, you know,

525
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: a tiny bit from us? What does that mean about

526
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: an article having a tiny bit from them? Meaning struck

527
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: in page? And the worst part of this whole thing

528
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: is that that struck in page. We're tracking down information,

529
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: including the address, the spouse, the spouse's job, other employees,

530
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: their kids, their parents, names and homes. Why are FBI

531
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: agents looking at a New York Times reporters family. I

532
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: think we may have there's an addressed to their addresses too.

533
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: What are they planning on intimidating the spoort idiot? They

534
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: call him a schlub. Then they go on to say

535
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: about Trump, but the new Trump hotel in d C. All,

536
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: there's one place I never want to stay in I

537
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: hope it fails horribly, and then they go, if that

538
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: doesn't prove that they're so anti Trump, then they attacked

539
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: the New York Poll Post. Then they attack Krick Swallas,

540
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: my colleague at Fox, and then they attacked viciously my

541
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: former colleague, Megan Kelly. Pretty amazing. Now Sarah Carter is

542
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna weigh in on this at the top of the

543
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: five o'clock hour, or she'll join us when we come back.

544
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna play what was going on in this, well,

545
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: I guess extemporaneous meeting that was picked up by cameras

546
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: on immigration. It's pretty fascinating, all right, So this impromptu,

547
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: oh I don't know if it was so impromptu anyway,

548
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: the President invited over Democratic and Republican leaders to talk

549
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: about immigration. We're gonna play it in full, and you

550
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: gotta listen to the president's comments. It's a moment there

551
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh no, and he's losing it, and then

552
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: he did recover and there's gonna be things you don't like.

553
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that and Sarah Carter coming up straight a

554
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: hut an hour to Sean Hannity Show. Fascinating meeting took

555
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: place with the President, Democrats, Senators, congressman all on immigration.

556
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: This was a phenomenal exchange and I think you're gonna

557
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: enjoy it. My perspective, the answer is to cure the border. First. Listen,

558
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: I am very much reliant on the people in this room.

559
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: I know most of the people on both sides, have

560
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for the people on both sides,

561
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: and my what I approve is going to be very

562
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: much reliant on what the people in this room come

563
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 1: to me with. I have great confidence and that if

564
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: they come to me with things that I'm not in

565
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: love with, I'm going to do it because I respect them.

566
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: The President about that for the President Operati, yeah, it's

567
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: faced too. I think comprehensive will be faced too. I

568
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: think I really agree with Dick. I think we get

569
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: the one thing done and then we go into comprehensive

570
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: the following day, and I think it will happen. March

571
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: five thousand a day will lose doctor protection. Nine hundred

572
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: of them are members of the U. S. Military. Twenty

573
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: thou of them are school teachers in my state of

574
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: Illinois and city of Chicago. There are twenty five of

575
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: them in medical school who can't apply for a residency

576
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: if they lose their doctor status. So lives are hanging

577
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: in the balance of our job done. We've got the

578
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: time to do it. In a matter of days, literally

579
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: of days, we can come together and reach an agreement.

580
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: And when that happens, I think good things will happen

581
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: in other places. Then we'll see some progress here in motion.

582
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: Aglu than take very much agree to good time. Would

583
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: you like to say something, Tom Cut thank you for

584
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: your vice all here and I'm glad to be here

585
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: with Democrats and House members as well. Um. You know,

586
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: I think on this issue there's a lack of trust

587
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: and has been for many years, lack of trust between

588
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats. Lack of trust among Republicans may most

589
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: fundamentally a lack of trust between the American people UH

590
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: and our elect leaders and non delivering a solution for many,

591
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: many years about some of these problems. UH. And I

592
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: hope that this meeting will be the beginning of building

593
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: trust between our parties between the chambers, because I know

594
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: for fact all the Republicans around the table are committed

595
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: to finding a solution, and I believe all the Democrats

596
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: are as well. So I think this is a good

597
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: first step in building the trust. We need a good bill, Mr. President,

598
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: that will achieve the objectives that you stated, providing legal

599
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: protection for the doctor population while also securing our border

600
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: and any chain migration and diversitive lottery. Thank you for

601
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: the invitation. President, Thank you very much for having us

602
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: down here. UM. I agree with Tom Cotton that the

603
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: American public and very frustrated with us. One of the

604
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: reasons they're frustrated with us because we continue to couple

605
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: things on which we have large agreement with things on

606
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: which we do not agree. This is a perfect example

607
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: of that. Uh of the American people in the most

608
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: recent poll are for ensuring, as you have said, uh,

609
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: not providing for data protected kids to go to a

610
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: place that they don't know, they didn't grow up in

611
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: and it's not their home. They're Americans. They don't have

612
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: a piece of paper that says they're Americans, but they're Americans.

613
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: And it seems to me, Ms President, if we're going

614
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: to move ahead in a constructive way that we take

615
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: that on which we agree passing, the American public will

616
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: be pleased with all of us if we do that.

617
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: Just as in September. You recall we did UH the

618
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: extension of a CR, no drama. We were all for it. UH.

619
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: You four leaders met, we came to an agreement, and

620
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: we passed that CR. In my view, we can pass.

621
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: We can pass UH the protection in the What I

622
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: understand your position is procedurally it was not done correctly.

623
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: You then, as Dick has said, challenged us pass it

624
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: correctly if it's put on the floor, and Mr President,

625
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 1: I believe it will have the overwhelming majority in both

626
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: the House and Senator Graham thinks it will have a

627
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: substantial majority in the United States Senate as well. That

628
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: I think is the first step TOM to creating some

629
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: degree of confidence. Democrats are for security at the borders.

630
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: I want to state that emphatically. There's not a Democrat

631
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: that is not for having security borders. There are obviously differences, however,

632
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Mr President, and how you affect that. You just indicated

633
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 1: that yourself, and you indicated this would be a first step,

634
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: and then we continue to talk as we're talking today

635
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: about how we best secure the border. There are differences

636
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: of opinion and within your party, within our party, so

637
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: I would urge that we move forward on protecting the

638
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: DACA UH protected individuals, young young people, young adults, as

639
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: you pointed out in one of your statements, who are

640
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: productive parts of our community, that we protect them and

641
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: get that done. And then, because I think everybody around

642
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: the table, as you pointed out, it is for security,

643
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: and then the issue is going to be do we

644
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: best affect that border security? So I would urge us

645
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:08,479
Speaker 1: to move as as UH Senator Durbin has urges moved

646
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: on the doctor students. As a matter of fact, the speaker,

647
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: I think today but maybe yesterday, said we need to

648
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: solve the docta issue, and we need to solve it

649
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: in a way that is permanent, not temporary. And I

650
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: agree with him on that issue. And interestingly, when you

651
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: say that, President Obama when he signed the executive order,

652
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: actually said he doesn't have the right to do this,

653
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: and so you do have to go through Congress and

654
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: you do have to make it permisi. Whether he does,

655
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: whether he doesn't, let's assume he doesn't. You said it, UH,

656
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: and that was a temporary stopcat. I don't think we

657
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: want that. I think we want to have a permanent

658
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: solution to this, and I think everybody in this room

659
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: feels that way very strongly. What happened, Mr President, I

660
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: think is that the Senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill.

661
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: As you know, we did not consider it in the House,

662
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: so we didn't reach those issues. Very frankly, on border security,

663
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: Mr McCall, the chairman of the committee, reported out a

664
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: unanimal UH security UH solution, which which we then included

665
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: in the bill that we UH filed on comprehensive immigration reform.

666
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: So I think we can reach agreement. Well, I also

667
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: think that after we do DACA, and I really believe

668
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: we should be able to be successful. I really think

669
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: we should look in terms of your permanent solution and

670
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: to the whole situation with immigration. I think a lot

671
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 1: of people in this room would agree to that also,

672
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: But we'll do it in steps, and most people agree

673
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: with that. I think that will do the steps. Even

674
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: new said let's do this and then we go phase two. Kevin,

675
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: what would you like to say? Well, first, I want

676
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: to thank you for bringing everybody together. You got the Senate,

677
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: you got the House, You've got both parties, and I

678
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: like the exchange of ideas, and I think everybody has

679
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: a point here. The one thing I don't want to

680
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: have happened. Here is what I saw in the past.

681
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: There were former bills that were passed on border security

682
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: years ago that never got finished, their immigration bills passed.

683
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: That we're right back at the table with the same problem.

684
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: Let's make a commitment to each one, and most importantly

685
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: to the American people, that when we get done and

686
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: come to an agreement, that we're not back at this

687
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: problem three or four years from that. That's why, yes,

688
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: we've got to do doc and I agree with you,

689
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: But if we do not do something with the security,

690
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: if we do not do something with the chain migration,

691
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: we are fooling each other that we solved the problem.

692
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: You know how difficult this issue is. So let's collectively

693
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: we're here at the table together. I'll be the first

694
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: one to tell you we're all going to have to

695
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: give a little, and I'll be the first one willing to.

696
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: But let's solve the problem. But let's not tell the

697
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: American public at the end that it's solved when it's not. Well.

698
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: I think a good starting point would be Bob Goodlack,

699
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: who has done a bill, and I understand you're ready

700
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: to submit it, and you're going to take that and

701
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: you'll submit and they'll negotiate in UH Congress of the House,

702
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: and then it goes through the Senate and they'll negotiate.

703
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: Both were prob like an n Democrat, but it could

704
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: be a good way of starting now if anyone has

705
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: an idea different from that, but I think starting in

706
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: the House, starting at the House might be good. You're ready.

707
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: I think you're ready to go here. I would like

708
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: to add the words of merit into any bill that's submitted,

709
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: because I think we should have merit based immigration like

710
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: they have in Canada, like they have an Australia, so

711
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: we have people coming in that have a great track

712
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: record as opposed to as opposed to what we're doing now.

713
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, but I think merit based

714
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: should be absolutely added to any bill, even if it

715
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: has to do with DOCTA. That would be added to

716
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: the things I said. I think it would be popular.

717
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: I think I can tell you the American public very

718
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: much once that it's going to address DOCCA in a

719
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: permanent way, not a temporary, short term thing. We're going

720
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: to address the border enforcement and security and the wall.

721
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: We're going to address UH and Mr mccallough bill. We're

722
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: going to address interior enforcement, but not everything that the

723
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: administration had on its list. We're going to address chain migration.

724
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna end the visa lottery program. We're gonna address

725
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: sanctuary cities and Kate's Law. We think it is a

726
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: good bill that will both address the two things our

727
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: speaker told told us right after you made your decision,

728
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: which is, we have to address the problem we have

729
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: with the DOCCA kids being in limbo, as Dick Durbin

730
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: described it, and I agree with that, but we also

731
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: have to make sure this does not happen again. And

732
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: Dick here and the Democrats are gonna have a lot

733
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,479
Speaker 1: of things that they're not going to agree. You're gonna

734
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: talk to us about it. I just felt that this

735
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: is something it was long overdue. You'd have a meeting

736
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: and you'd say this is what one wants, what haven mean?

737
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: And this this has been going on for years, and

738
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: I just you know, at a certain point, maybe I'll

739
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: just lock the doors and I won't let anybody until

740
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: until they come and agree. Michael, do you have something

741
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: to say about the VID encounters or seven terms? I've

742
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: been trying to get this worse here for seven terms

743
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: in Congress. I think this is a bipartisan this year.

744
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: I think podka is a by Parson issue. We have

745
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: an opportunity, I think before is to get this done

746
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: for the American people. When it comes to chain migration

747
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: and the lottery system. We saw two recent terror attacks

748
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: in New York that we're the result of this I

749
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: think failed immigration policy. We'd like to see that fixed

750
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: for the American people. Along with this. Bob talked about

751
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: the sanctuary cities for you. You and I talked about

752
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: this extensively. So we think our bill, our House bill,

753
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: will be a good starting ground for this negotiation. And

754
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: I to want to commend you for bringing everybody together.

755
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: I think, well, we don't want to see happen is

756
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: for the these conditions for DOCTA to occur again. We

757
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: want to get security done so we don't have to

758
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: deal with this problem five more years down the road.

759
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: So thank you serving. But there's so many points of

760
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: agreement and a lot of its common sense, and I

761
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: really think we're going to come out very well. David

762
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: prod you have something to say, so we am insservation.

763
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: Is that three times in the last eleven years, well

764
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: intentioned people, some of whom are in this room, attempted

765
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: to do what we're starting to try to do today,

766
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: and we fail. And I think the difference is is

767
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: there Mission Creek ended up in an effort that became

768
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: too comprehensive, And so today my encouragement for all of

769
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: us is to do what Dick has been trying to

770
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: do and talks about repeatedly, and that is to limit

771
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: the scope of this. And I like the idea that

772
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: both sides how pressure to solve the DOCA issue. But

773
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: I think the bigger issue here is not just the

774
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: DOCA issue, but what can we do to start the

775
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: path to the steps that solve this immigration problem for

776
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: several reasons, their social issues, their political issues, and their

777
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: economic issues about our workforce that have to be addressed.

778
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 1: But limiting this to the legal immigration side and combining

779
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: the balance between various solutions on DOCCA dreamers, if that

780
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: gets into conversation as well as border security and shame migration,

781
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: I think there in lie is the balance of a

782
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: good deal that can be done. And I don't think

783
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: I agree with Dick. I don't think it comes well

784
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: and get it done. If we just locked ourselves in

785
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: the room and made it happen. President, I just have

786
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: one comment. Senator German mentioned that lives are hanging in

787
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: the balance as we come up on the January nineteenth deadline.

788
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: The lives that are hanging the balance on those of

789
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: our military that are needing the equipment and the funding

790
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: and everything they need in order to keep us safe.

791
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: And we should not be playing politics on this issue

792
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: to stop our military from getting the funding that they need.

793
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 1: I think we have the right people in the room

794
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: to solve this issue. The deadline is marsh five. Let's

795
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: roll up our sleeves and work together on this. But

796
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: those who need us right now before the January nineteen

797
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: deadline is our military, and let's not play politics with that.

798
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: Let's give them what they need to keep us saying

799
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: would agree with it. We're going to go right back

800
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: to this happening just before we came on the air today.

801
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: I want you to hear this on the other side

802
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: of it. We also have some analysis and Sarah Carter

803
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: and we'll get your calls in one. Shawn is our number.

804
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: All right, we pick up this unprecedented meeting with the president,

805
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: Democratic leaders that was all on camera and obviously about immigration.

806
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: No no, no Democrats that don't want to make sure

807
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: that the military is funded properly UM and over the

808
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: last four years, we had an agreement between Mr Ryan

809
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: and Senator Murray speaking Ryan and that we would we

810
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: understand that our military is critically important, but we also

811
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: understand that our domestic issues, whether it's education, whether it's healthcare,

812
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: whether it's the environment, whether it's transportation and infrastructure, they're

813
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: important as well. And both the defense and non defense

814
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: signs of the budget are hurt when you have a

815
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: cr because they cannot plan and they cannot let contracts

816
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: if they don't have any money to do so. So

817
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: that very frankly I think uh MS MCSALI is correct.

818
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: But what we ought to have done over the last

819
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: six months, UH, particularly when we did the September and

820
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: we gave ninety days, is to reach some agreement on

821
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: what the caps are going to be. The Murray Ryan

822
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: agreements were parody. We believe that's very important so we

823
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: can get to where we should get uh and want

824
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 1: to get there, but we ought to have an agreement

825
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: based upon what the last two attending. We do have

826
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: to take politics out of the military. We need that military.

827
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: All the other things we talked about, We're not going

828
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: to be here because we don't have the right military.

829
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: And we need our military and we need it stronger

830
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: than ever before, and we're ready to do it. But

831
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: we have to take politics out of the military. Yes,

832
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: Gun President, I do want to thank you for getting

833
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: us together. You made the point last week when Republicans

834
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: were meeting with you that why are we continuing to

835
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: have these meetings just among ourselves? From what we need

836
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: to do to get to a solution is to meet

837
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: as we are today, as you assisted, on a black

838
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 1: partisan basis. But part of my job is to count

839
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: votes in the Senate, and as you know, we hosted

840
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: this the leadership that Camp David this weekend. Um, I

841
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: believe both the Speaker and Majority Leader McConnell made crystal

842
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: clear that they would not they would not proceed with

843
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 1: the bill and the floor the Senate for the House

844
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: unless it had your support, unless you would sign it.

845
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: So that's uh. I think the picture that we need

846
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: to be looking through, the lens we need to be

847
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: looking through is not only what could we agree to

848
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: among ourselves on a bipartisan basis, but what will you

849
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: sign into law? Because we all want to get to

850
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: a solution here, and we'd realizing clock it's ticking. But

851
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: I think that for me frames the issue about as

852
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: well as I can't thank you very well, said all right,

853
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break here, we'll have more of

854
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: this unbelievable exchange. Wow, I thought Donald Trump was crazy

855
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: and dement it. Uh no, he's actually extraordinarily bright and smart.

856
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: And it came through loud and clear, and we pick

857
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: up this unprecedented meeting with the President and Democratic leaders

858
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: that was all on camera, and obviously about immigration. This

859
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: is a point where Stenny Hoyer and the President had uh, well,

860
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: more than a little disagreement. You know. One of the

861
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: reasons I'm here, uck so importantly is exactly that. I mean,

862
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: normally you wouldn't have a president coming to this meeting. Normally, frankly,

863
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: you have Democrats Republicans, and maybe nothing would get done.

864
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: Uh you know, our system lends itself to not getting

865
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 1: things done. And I hear so much about ear marks,

866
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: the old earmark system, how there was a great friendliness

867
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: when you had earmarks, but of course they had other

868
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: problems with air marks. But maybe all of you should

869
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: start thinking about going back to a form of earmarks

870
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: because this system, and I'm there with you, because this sense,

871
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: this system really lends itself to not getting along. It

872
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: lends itself to hostility and anger, and they hate the

873
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: Republicans and they hate the Democrats. And you know, in

874
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: the old days of earmarks, you can say what you

875
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: want about certain presidents and others where they all talked

876
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: about they went out to dinner at night and they

877
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: all got along and they passed bills. That was an

878
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: earmark system. And maybe we should think about it, and

879
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: we have to put better controls because it got a

880
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: little bit out of hand. But maybe that brings people together,

881
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: because our system right now, the way it's set up,

882
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: will never bring people together. Now. I think we're gonna

883
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: get this done DOCTA. I think we're gonna get I

884
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 1: hope we're going to get infrastructure done in the same way.

885
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: But I think you should look at a form of earmarks.

886
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: I see Lindsay nodding very happily. Yes. And a lot

887
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: of the pros are saying that if you want to

888
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: get along, and if you want to get this country

889
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: really rolling again, you have to look at a different form,

890
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: because this is obviously out of control, the levels of hatred.

891
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about Trump. I'm talking you go

892
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: back throughout the eight years of Obama, and you go

893
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: before that, the animosity and the hatred between Republicans and Democrats.

894
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when I used to go out

895
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: in Washington and not see Democrats having dinner with Republicans

896
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: and they were best friends and everybody got along. You

897
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: don't see that too much anymore. I a older respect,

898
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: you really don't see that. It was the last time

899
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: you took a Republican that what are you? Guys? You

900
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: still have to have dinner, but the only ones, but

901
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: you don't see it. So maybe, and very importantly, totally

902
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: different from this meeting, because we're gonna get DOCTA done.

903
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: I hope we're gonna get DOCTA done, and we're gonna

904
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,760
Speaker 1: all try very hard, but maybe you should start bringing

905
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: back a concept of earmarks. It's gonna bring you together.

906
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna do it, honestly, you're gonna get rid of

907
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: the problems that the other system had, and it did

908
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: have some problems, but one thing it did is it

909
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: brought everyone together. And this country has to be brought together.

910
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: We can usually get bipartisan agreement when the other guy was.

911
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a very important thing because our system

912
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: is designed right now that everybody should hit each other,

913
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: and we can't have that. You know, we have a

914
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: great country. We have a country that's doing very well,

915
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: uh in many respects. We're just hitting a new high

916
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: on the stock market again, and that means jobs. I

917
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: look at the stock I don't look at the stocks.

918
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: I look at the jobs. I look at the four

919
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: oh one case. I look at what's happening where police

920
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: come up to me and they say, thank you, you

921
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: make you're making me look like the financial genius, literally

922
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 1: meaning about them and their wives. I thought that was possible, right.

923
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, the country, the country is doing well in

924
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: so many ways, but there's such divisiveness, such divisions in

925
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: its ten years. I don't think I've seen a better

926
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: chance to get it done than I do right now

927
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: because of you. John's right, I'm not gonna support a

928
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,439
Speaker 1: bill if you don't support it. I've had my head

929
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: beat out a bunch. I'm still standing. Um. Lindsay Graham,

930
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: Ney ste Lindsey, go manage your name every name you

931
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: want to give to me, It's been assigned to me,

932
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: and I'm still standing. The people of South Carolina want

933
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: to resolve how could I get elected. I've been for

934
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: a pathway to citizenship for eleven million people because I

935
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: have no animosity towards them. I don't want crooks, I

936
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: don't want bad embres I want to get a merit

937
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: based immigration system to make sure we can succeed in

938
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: the twenty first century. I'm willing to be more than

939
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: fair to the eleven million. I just don't want to

940
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: do this every twenty years now. We made a decision

941
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: as president not to do it comprehensively. I think that's

942
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: a smart decision, but a hard decision. We've passed three

943
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 1: comprehensive bills out of the Senate with over sixty five votes.

944
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: They go to the House and die. And I'm not

945
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: being disparaging into my House colleagues. This is stuff politics.

946
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: If you're a Republican House member turning on the radio

947
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 1: to my Democratic friends, thanks for coming to resist. Movement

948
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: hates this guy. They don't want him to be successful

949
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: at all. You turn on Fox News and I can

950
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: hear the drum beat coming right wing radio and TV

951
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: talk show host are gonna beat the crap out of

952
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: us because it's gonna be amnesty all over again. I

953
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: don't know if the Republican and Democratic Party can define love,

954
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: but I think what we can do is do what

955
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: the American people want us to do. Of the Trump

956
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,280
Speaker 1: voters support a pathway to citizenship for the doctor kids.

957
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: If you have strong borders, you have created an opportunity

958
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: to hear Mr President, and you need to close the

959
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: deal thiculus. You know, it's very interesting because I do

960
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: have people that are it's just to use a very

961
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 1: common term, very far right and very far left. Uh,

962
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: they're very unhappy about what we're doing. But I really

963
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: don't believe they have to be, because I really think

964
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: this sells itself. And you know, when you talk about

965
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 1: comprehensive immigration reform, which is where I would like to

966
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: get to eventually, if we do the right bill here,

967
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: we are not very far away. You know, we've done

968
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 1: most of it. If you want to know the truth, Dick,

969
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: If we do this properly, dot do, you're not so

970
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: far away from comprehensive immigration reform. And if you want

971
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: to take it that further step I'll take the heat.

972
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care. I'll take all the

973
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: heat you want to give me. And I'll take the

974
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: heat of both the Democrats and the Republicans. My whole

975
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: life has been heat. I like heat in a certain way,

976
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: but I will. I mean, you are somewhat more traditional

977
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: politicians than two or a half years ago. I was

978
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: never thinking in terms of politics. Now I'm a politician.

979
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: You people have been doing it, many of you, all

980
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: your lives. I'll take all the heat you want. But

981
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: you are not that far away from comprehensive immigration reform.

982
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: And if you wanted to go that final step, I

983
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: think you should do it. And if you want to

984
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: study earmarks to bring us all together so we all

985
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: get together and do something, I think you should study it. Chuck,

986
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: you do something to said. I'd like to talk about

987
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: the reality of the whole situation and take off from

988
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: what Corner and Graham have said of the necessity of

989
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: you working with us, and you're doing that by having

990
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: this meeting and other meetings as well. But we've always

991
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: talked in the United States Senate about the necessity of

992
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: getting sixty votes, and that's pretty darn tough, but if

993
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: we would write a bill that you don't like and

994
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 1: you veto it, we're talking about a sixty seven vote

995
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: threshold two thirds in the United States Senate. So that's

996
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: the reality of negotiating in good faith and getting something

997
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: you can sign. The second reality is the March fifth

998
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: date that's coming up, because if we don't do some

999
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: good faith negotiation and make process progress and get a

1000
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: bill on the floor of the United States Senate, our

1001
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: leaders and to have to bring up either the House

1002
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: bill or the bill that some of us is introduced

1003
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: in the United States Senate and we're going to have

1004
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: a vote on and those people that don't want to

1005
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: vote to legalize docker kids are are are going to

1006
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: have to explain why that they haven't wanted to protect

1007
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: the vulnerable people that we're all here talking about. We're

1008
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: talking about everything except doing something for the Docket kids.

1009
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, I would vote for a path to citizenship,

1010
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: which isn't very easy for me, but I would do

1011
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: it just as an effort. But there's certain things that

1012
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: you've got we've got a guarantee that we're going to

1013
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: do that that's going to be brought up. I really

1014
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: believe that will be brought up as part of what

1015
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about at some point. It's an incentive for

1016
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: people to do a good job. If you want to

1017
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: know that, that whole path is an incentive for people.

1018
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: And they're not all kids. I mean, you know we

1019
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: were used to talk about kids are not really kids.

1020
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: You have a thirty years old in some cases. But

1021
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: it would be an incentive for people to work on

1022
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: do a good job. So you know, that could very

1023
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: well be brought up the bow legalizing people here that

1024
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: didn't break the law because their parents who broke the

1025
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: law brought them here. And we ought to be talking

1026
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: about what we can do for the people that had

1027
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: no fault of their own and get the job done

1028
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: and not worry about a lot of other things that

1029
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: we're involved in. And that means that we've got to

1030
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: make sure that we tell the American people when we're

1031
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: taking this step, that we're doing something that all the

1032
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: people agreed to. You know, Mr President, let me just say,

1033
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: I think Dick and I agree with what Chuck Grassling

1034
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: just said. I believe when was the last time that happened.

1035
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: We need to take care of these doctor kids, and

1036
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: we all agree on that of the American public agrees

1037
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: on that. With all due respect, Bob and Mike UH

1038
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: and lindsay Uh, there are some things that you're proposing.

1039
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: They're going to be very controversial and will be an

1040
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: impediment to agreement. But you're gonna negotiate those things. You're

1041
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: gonna sit down, You're gonna say, listen, we can't agree here.

1042
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: We we'll give you half of that. We're gonna gether

1043
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: to negotiation. Comprehensive means comprehension. We're not talking about doctor now,

1044
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: we're talking about we aren't. We are talking about comprehensive.

1045
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: But if you want to go there, it's okay, because

1046
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: you're not that far a president. Many of the things

1047
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: that are mentioned ought to be a part of the

1048
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: negotiations regarding comprehensive immigration with If you want to take

1049
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: it this step further, you may I'm gonna have to

1050
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: rely on you think, which is you may complicated and

1051
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: you may delay DOCTA somewhat. I don't want to do that.

1052
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: When you said at the outset we need to phase this,

1053
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: I think the first phase is with Chuck and Stanny

1054
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: and I have mentioned others as well. We have a

1055
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: deadline looming and a lot of lives hanging that we

1056
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: can agree on some very fundamental and important things together

1057
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: on border security, on chain, on the future of diversity,

1058
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: visas comprehensive. Though I worked on it for six months

1059
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: with Michael Bennett and UH, a number of Bombinendez, UH

1060
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: and Schumer and McCain and Jeff Flake, and it took

1061
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: us six months to put it together. We don't have

1062
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: six months for the doctor. Were ConA a number of

1063
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: factors that are trying to be controversial as to negotiate.

1064
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: Take you gonna negotia and maybe we'll agree, and maybe

1065
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: we will. I mean, you know it's possible we're not

1066
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: going to agree with you, and it's possible way, but

1067
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: there should be no reason for us not to get

1068
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: this done. And Chuck, I will say, when this group

1069
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: comes back, hopefully with an agreement, this group and others

1070
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: from the Senate, from the House comes back with an agreement,

1071
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm signing it. I mean I will be signing it.

1072
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say, oh gee, I want this,

1073
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: sorry what that I'll be signing again because I have

1074
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in the people in this room

1075
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: that you're gonna come up with something really good. All right,

1076
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: we'll take a quick break. We'll come back. We have

1077
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter at the top of the hour. Your call

1078
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: is coming up in so much more right here on

1079
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. A right, this is the last

1080
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: segment this unprecedented meeting that was caught on well. I

1081
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: guess it was designed to be on cameras. The Senate

1082
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: and House leadership debating immigration with the President, all for

1083
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: for all eyes to see. We'll have more coverage on

1084
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: us tonight on Hannity and Sarah Corner at the top

1085
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: of the hour. Straight ahead. I think we have a

1086
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: great group of people to sit down and get this done.

1087
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: I'd love not to build the wall, but you need

1088
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: the wall. And I will tell you this. The Ice

1089
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: officers and the Border patrol agents I had them just recently.

1090
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: They say, if you don't have the wall, you know

1091
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: in certain areas obviously that aren't protected by nature, if

1092
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: you don't have the wall, you cannot have security. Just

1093
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: can't have it. It doesn't work. And part of the

1094
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: probably have his walls and fences that we currently have

1095
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: are in very bad shape. They're broken. We have to

1096
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: get them. People, they say if you don't have the wall.

1097
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: You know in certain areas obviously that aren't protected by nature,

1098
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: if you don't have the wall, you cannot have security.

1099
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: Just can't have it. It It doesn't work. And part of

1100
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: the probably have his walls and fences that we currently

1101
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: have are in very bad shape. They're broken. We have

1102
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: to get them fixed or rebuild. But you know, you

1103
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: you speak to the agents, and I spoke to all

1104
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: of them. I spoke, I lived with. They endorsed me

1105
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: for president, which they've never done before. The Border patrol

1106
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 1: agents and ICE they both endorsed Trump and they never

1107
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: did that before. And I have a great relationship with them.

1108
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: They say, sir, without the wall, security doesn't work. We're

1109
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: all wasting time. Now, that doesn't mean two thousand miles

1110
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: of wall, because you just don't need that because of nature,

1111
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: because the mountains and rivers and lots of other things.

1112
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: But we need a certain portion of that border to

1113
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: have the wall. If we don't have it, you can

1114
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: never have security. You can never stop that portion of

1115
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: drugs that comes through that area. Yes, it comes through

1116
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: plains and lots of other ways and chips, but a

1117
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: lot of it comes through the southern border. You can

1118
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: never fix the situation without additional wall, and we have

1119
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: to fix existing wall that we already have. No. I

1120
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: think a clean DOCTA bill to me is a DOCTA bill,

1121
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: but we take care of the eight hundred thousand people.

1122
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: They're actually not necessarily young people. Everyone talks about young

1123
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, they can be forty years old, forty one

1124
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: years old, but they're also sixteen years old. But I

1125
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: think to me, a clean bill is a bill of DOCTA.

1126
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: We take care of them, and we also take care

1127
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: of security. That's very important. And I think the Democrats

1128
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: want security too. I mean, we started off with Steenny

1129
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: saying we want security. Also everybody wants security, and then

1130
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: we can go to comprehensive later on, and maybe that

1131
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: is a longer subject and a bigger subject, and I

1132
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: think we can get that done too, but we'll get

1133
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: it done at a later day. Yes, ma'am, go ahead.

1134
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: That's the President and I'm senator. He wrote it from Hawaiians,

1135
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: the only immigrants serving in the United States Senate right now,

1136
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: I would like nothing better than for us to get

1137
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: to comprehensive immigration reformed. By what I'm hearing around the

1138
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: table right now is a commitment to resolving the doctor

1139
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: situation because there is a sense of urgency. Now you

1140
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: have put it out there that that you want eighteen

1141
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: million dollars for a while, or else there will be

1142
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: no DOCTA. Is that still your Yeah, I can build

1143
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: it for less. By the way, I must tell you,

1144
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking at these prices. Somebody said forty two billion.

1145
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: This is like the aircraft carrier and started off at

1146
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: a billion and a half and it's now an eighteen billion.

1147
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Now we can do it for us. We can do

1148
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: a great job. We can do a great wall. But

1149
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: you need the wall. And I'm now getting involved. I'd

1150
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: like to build under budget. Okay, I'd like to go

1151
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: under budget ahead of schedule. There's no reason for seven years. Also,

1152
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: I heard the other day. Please don't do that to

1153
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: me seven years. We can build the wall in one year,

1154
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 1: and we can build it for much less money than

1155
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: what they're talking about, and any excess funds and we'll

1156
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of whether it's a woman rink or

1157
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,919
Speaker 1: whether it's any I build under budget and I built

1158
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. There is no reason to ever mention

1159
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: seven years. Again, police, I heard that. I said I

1160
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: said I wanted to come out with a major news

1161
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: conference tom yesterday. Now they can go up quickly, it

1162
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 1: can go up effectively, and we can fix a lot

1163
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: of the areas right now that are really satisfactory if

1164
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: we renovate those walls in those Mueller immediately concluded the

1165
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: Mr Structor no longer participate in the investigation, and he

1166
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: was removed from the team the same day. Did Mr

1167
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Mueller take appropriate action in this case? Yes, he did.

1168
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, you

1169
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: said that you would only fire Special Counsel Mueller for

1170
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,479
Speaker 1: good cause and that you had not seen any yet.

1171
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: Several months have passed since then. Have you seen good

1172
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: costs to fire Special Counsel Muller? No? Thank you. If

1173
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: you were ordered today to fire Mr Mueller, what would

1174
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: you do? So I've explained previously, I would follow the

1175
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: regulation if there were good cause, I would act. If

1176
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: there were no good cause, I would not, And you

1177
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: have seen no good cause so far. Correct? And the

1178
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Special Counsel has hired at least eight attorneys who have

1179
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: direct connections to both the to either the Obama or

1180
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Clinton campaigns. Don't you think that creates an appearance of impropriety,

1181
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying what you think they can do

1182
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: their jobs. Don't you think it creates an appearance of impropriety.

1183
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I suppose the time of the gentleman has expired, the

1184
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: witnesses permitted to answer the question. I do not believe.

1185
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of any impropriety. We do have regulations

1186
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: of special counsels subject to all the departments rules UH

1187
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: and subject to oversight by the Department, including the Inspector General,

1188
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and not aware of any violation of those rules by

1189
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: the special counsel employee. So you don't think it creates

1190
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: the appearance of impropriety. Appearance is to some extent in

1191
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: the eye of the beholder. We apply the Department's rules

1192
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: and regulations and making determinations, and we do have career

1193
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: ethics advisors who provide US counsel about them. All right, news,

1194
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: round up information, overload our eight nine for one, Shawn,

1195
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program,

1196
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: We'll get to your calls in a minute. Rob Rosenstein,

1197
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: no good cause to fire Muller, and just there's no

1198
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: appearance of impropriety. And I don't believe a word of this,

1199
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: especially in light of the new developments that I was

1200
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: telling you about last night and News Broken by both

1201
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter investigative reporter, Fox News analyst uh and also

1202
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: by John Solomon, and it just gets into more of

1203
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: the the details about how absolutely corrupt the whole thing

1204
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: has been from the get go. We now have Struck members,

1205
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,959
Speaker 1: Peter Struck and his well, I guess his mistress, the

1206
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: lawyer for the FBI, Lisa Page. Peter Struck was involved

1207
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: in every single solitary aspect involving every case. He interviewed

1208
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: General Flynt. He was there rewriting the exoneration before the

1209
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: investigation with Jim Comey. He was the one that interviewed

1210
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, but he had already written the exoneration with

1211
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: of course James Colemey. So what was the point at

1212
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: that point. Anyway, Now these new emails that's back and

1213
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: forth between Peter Struck and his mistress Lisa Page, all

1214
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: the articles out they got, they talk about and then

1215
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: it's hidden behind a paywall so you can't read it.

1216
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: Page texted Struck Wall Street Journal boy that was fat asked, well,

1217
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: you know if it's articles out, well, that means they

1218
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: knew the article was coming. That means they leaked the article. Well,

1219
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: what exactly did they leak? And is what they did

1220
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 1: legal in a lot of ways, And it goes, I

1221
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: can act like I do. It's I have to tell everybody,

1222
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: and now I can act like I do every other

1223
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: article that hits Google news Alert. Seriously, when they hear

1224
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: about the article, they're worried about. Oh, they don't want

1225
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: their fingerprints on this. Remember page served as the lawyer

1226
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: advising the FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. And then as

1227
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: you go on to read about a lot more of this, again,

1228
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: there's nine thousand texts, we've only got a few hundred

1229
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: of these. Now we find out that, you know, the

1230
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 1: leaks in February, the intercept of General Flynn, et cetera,

1231
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: FBI contacts with the media. A lot of this could

1232
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: be improper, and it's certainly designed to influence the public

1233
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: perception about what is going on here. Why did they

1234
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: leak on Flynn? Wasn't that information, you know, raw intelligence?

1235
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: And isn't that a violation of law? You know? Don't

1236
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: these leaks create a false narrative? You know, it's there's

1237
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: so much to all of this, and not the least

1238
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: of which, as you've got Andrew Weissman, we're going to

1239
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: find out more about him in the coming days, and

1240
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: so much more that Sarah Carter has been able to find.

1241
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: How are you I'm doing great, Sean, Thank you. I

1242
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: think I was struck mostly by listening uh to Deputy

1243
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Attorney General Rod Rosen's kind of saying, you know, he

1244
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: didn't find any issuance of impropriety. You know, when it

1245
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: comes to more so than Muehler. I understand that there's

1246
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: some legal ramifications there that he has. He wants to

1247
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: follow the law to the t and those regulations to t.

1248
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: But when it comes to impropriety, I certainly think that

1249
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: the evidence is overwhelming. Yeah. I think, well, let's go

1250
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:53,439
Speaker 1: through what appears to be these FBI agents and their

1251
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 1: text messages. Now there's we have congressional probes that are

1252
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 1: going to begin into this about the possible news leaks. Oh,

1253
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: you don't call me leaked. You know, Struck was involved

1254
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: in the exoneration before investigation of Hillary. You know, he

1255
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: was up to his eyeballs. He was there at the

1256
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: interview of Michael Flynn, General Flynn, and of course Flynn

1257
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: now has pled guilty to lying to the FBI. When

1258
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: I look at these things, I'm I'm reading these things

1259
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: that I'm thinking, Uh, it sounds like they leaked an

1260
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: awful lot. I mean, it appears so. I mean, and

1261
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: this is the reason why you know, Trey Gaudy and others,

1262
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: uh Nunnis as well want to look into this House

1263
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee. I mean from the very beginning, I think

1264
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 1: their pervy as far as investigations, was going to include

1265
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: an investigation into leaking. I think this just adds more

1266
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: fuel to the fire where they're looking at this and saying, Okay,

1267
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we now have to have answers from

1268
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: Peter Struck, We need answers from Lisa Page. We need

1269
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: to find out what they were talking about here when

1270
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 1: they were talking about the Wall Street Journal, when they

1271
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 1: were talking about the Washington Post and these stories, and

1272
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:04,440
Speaker 1: whether or not they gave information without without any authorization

1273
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: to these news agencies. And that's going to be a

1274
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: really important part of all of this. Also, when you

1275
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: think about Michael Flynn, and I think a lot of

1276
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,440
Speaker 1: people don't realize this, It's not just about leaking information

1277
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,759
Speaker 1: that maybe is related to a case or something related

1278
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: to uh that they wanted out from the FBI. This

1279
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: information that was leased on Michael Flynn was considered highly

1280
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: classified information. I mean that information. Just accessing it and

1281
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: sharing it with somebody else is a crime and it's

1282
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: a felony. And so that really was a big, big

1283
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: part of what they're looking at right here. And I

1284
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: know that the i G is also looking at that.

1285
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: The Inspector General. Yeah, well, when are we getting that

1286
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Inspector General's report when I you know, look at another

1287
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: instance here when they're talking specifically about you know, tipping

1288
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: people off here. You know, I mean, I'm really stunned

1289
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: at what I'm reading in all of this, and you know,

1290
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: suggesting that the whole thing is just a tiny bit

1291
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: from us that means they were leaking. What does that

1292
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: mean if they're leaking, and what did they leak? And

1293
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: what does that mean in terms of the law. Well,

1294
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: it's certainly going to mean that they are going to

1295
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: be questioned. I know talking to sources today, talking to

1296
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,799
Speaker 1: sources today that people within the FBI over the past

1297
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: months have been questioned about leaks coming out of the FBI.

1298
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: So one thing we know for sure, there is a

1299
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: suspicion that a number of the leaks that went to

1300
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 1: the media came from the Bureau, possibly from higher level

1301
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: officials at the Bureau. There have been a number of

1302
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: people within the Bureau that have already been polygraphed and

1303
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 1: questioned about leaks. And remember, there's twenty seven leaks right

1304
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: now being investigated by the Department of Justice. That is

1305
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: tripled the amount of the last three years. That is

1306
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: a lot of leaks, and there are a lot of

1307
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: people that are really concerned about what's going to come

1308
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: out because they are going to be caught red handed.

1309
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: We also know that there was instances where they were

1310
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: looking into General Council James Bayer, and he's no longer

1311
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: in that position at the FBI. What was what was

1312
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: his involvement was their leaking? What was he leaking, um

1313
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,560
Speaker 1: if if he was at all. So they're going to

1314
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 1: be looking at a lot of high level players here,

1315
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 1: including Andrew mccape. Now, if you look at Peter struct Sean,

1316
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: Peter Struck not only interviewed Flynn, he was very involved

1317
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: in Hillary Clinton and with her interviews and with the

1318
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: whole case. So they're gonna want to take a look

1319
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: at that. What I'd like to know is why the

1320
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: House committees that are investigating this haven't interviewed the other

1321
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,799
Speaker 1: FBI agents who were with Peter Struck on that interview

1322
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: with Flynn. Why haven't they interviewed or such a big point.

1323
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: That's such a that's a massive point you're making. It

1324
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: is a huge point, because then they're going to get

1325
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: to the truth. Right, we know Peter Struts already been discredited.

1326
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: So talk to the other person that was in that interview.

1327
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 1: What were they thinking? What did they assess from that

1328
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: interview with Michael Flynn that day? Talk to the other

1329
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 1: people that I'd love to know, because we've already discredited Struck,

1330
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: then there's only another person left. Well, it's it's that too.

1331
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: And remember they took they took the email server investigation

1332
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: away from the field offices and put it in a

1333
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: special category that nobody else gets in the in the meantime,

1334
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: and then the exoneration and even taking out the language

1335
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: of gross negligence and taking out language that foreign entities

1336
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: and foreign intelligence services had gotten ahold of this information.

1337
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: What do you make of of Lisa Page, you know,

1338
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:33,759
Speaker 1: offering the legal advice specifically in the case of um

1339
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: not Andrew Weissman, what's his name, McCabe, Andrew McCabe. Well,

1340
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: he was because she's biased working for Andrew McCabe, right,

1341
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: she was given him the legal advice and her role

1342
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: is the legal advice. She was just under him. And

1343
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 1: this is interesting news, and this will be something new

1344
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna throw out there that I haven't written

1345
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 1: about yet. But allegedly, according to some of the sources

1346
01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 1: I spoke with earlier today and I was stunned and

1347
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: I heard this, Andrew McCabe was actually talking to people

1348
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 1: colleagues recently saying that he's been approached by the d

1349
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 1: n C to possibly run for office in Virginia. So

1350
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: after he's done. So I tell you this allegedly, I've

1351
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: heard it from very credible sources, but we still have to,

1352
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: you know, follow through and ask those questions. But if

1353
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: that's the case, what is the level of feeling there

1354
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: that they that they assume that none of this is

1355
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 1: going to come out, that the investigation is just going

1356
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: to disappear. Uh So, there there's a certain sense of,

1357
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: as one source put it, narcissism involved here, where they

1358
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,599
Speaker 1: feel that they are untouchable and uh and so I

1359
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 1: think that the investigation by the Inspector General is going

1360
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 1: to be extremely important. I think that that is going

1361
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 1: to reveal pretty much the answers that we need um

1362
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 1: as far as what the leaks, where the leaks have

1363
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: been coming from, how they've been, how they've evolved. Now.

1364
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're going to have the answer

1365
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 1: to the Flynn leak, but it would be very interesting

1366
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 1: to see if they do. I gotta ask you about

1367
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: the the research into this New York Times reporter and

1368
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: also what might be coming out about Andrew Weissman and

1369
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 1: potential media contexts he's had. As we continue with the

1370
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: investigative reporter, Fox News contributed Sarah Carter is with us.

1371
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: I want to get to the part about this poor

1372
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,839
Speaker 1: New York Times guy and Peter Struck in Lisa Page

1373
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: discussing at length about how they're looking into his background

1374
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: and tracking down his work phone and taking shots at

1375
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: at my colleague Chris Wallace, taking shots at my former

1376
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: colleague Megan Kelly, you know, really personal, horrible attacks against

1377
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: both of them. And but the more important part is

1378
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 1: why are they looking up family names and members of reporters?

1379
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 1: Well in an apparent attempt to track him down, it appears,

1380
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: and not only were they trying to track him down

1381
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: or maybe speech to him, it would be it would

1382
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they respond to that, but

1383
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: they're also making fun of him at the same time.

1384
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: So it appears that both of them have a habit

1385
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: of really putting people down. I don't think Chris Wallace

1386
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 1: and Megan Kelly and Mattapuso and the rest of them

1387
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: are the only ones. I mean, if you go through

1388
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: the text messages that were released, it appears that both

1389
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Page and Struck had a habit of just bad mouthing

1390
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: people in their text messages to each other. I've never

1391
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 1: seen anything quite like that. It just seemed like everybody

1392
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: they talked about they were they were definitely throwing shots

1393
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: at So it's interesting because if you think about the

1394
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: FBI and you think like she's tracking them down, and

1395
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 1: in one point in the text messages, he warrens Page,

1396
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, don't don't use your you know, your office

1397
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: phone because it could be you could be tagged. And

1398
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: she's like, oops, I already did that, you know. So,

1399
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: so it didn't seem like they were as concerned. And

1400
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 1: remember this Sean. It go back to what was happening

1401
01:15:56,680 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: during that time. Even at that point in time and

1402
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: before the election, they all believed, they all believed that

1403
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton would win. And even afterwards when we see

1404
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: those text messages, you know, the insurance policy and and

1405
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 1: that needs to be answered, uh, you know with McCabe's

1406
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 1: and apparently Andy's insurance policy. We believe that's Andrew McCabe.

1407
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: When you look at all of this, it felt that

1408
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: they had a mission, that they believed they were on

1409
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: a mission, and they even stated, you know, to save

1410
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: the Republic from Trump. So when we go back to

1411
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein's statement that there was no impropriety here, I

1412
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 1: find that just incredible and hard to believe when you

1413
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: realize that Peter Struck was central to the investigations. Let

1414
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: me ask you about Andrew Weissman, and apparently he had

1415
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: contact with the news media last April. Now he's the

1416
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,799
Speaker 1: guy that was appointed. He was a Justice Department financial

1417
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: fraud prosecutor that lost to the Supreme Court nine zero.

1418
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Tens of thousands of people lost their job at Anderson Accounting,

1419
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: and four Meryal executives went to jail. In the end.

1420
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: Wron case for a year and then that was overturned

1421
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: by the Fifth Circuit. And you know why, another Democrat?

1422
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: Why did Mueller appoint him is beyond any understanding I

1423
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 1: have with his conflicts and his failed record. But more importantly,

1424
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: did he talk to the media. It appears that he did,

1425
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 1: and the Justice Department is right now researching records that

1426
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: are related to those details. Some April two thousand seventeen

1427
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: meeting that apparently, um the attorney Andrew Andrew Wiseman had

1428
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: with a specific news organization. I believe I know what

1429
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: that news organization is. I'm just trying to verify it

1430
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 1: and they were discussing some particular issue. Now it's Andrew

1431
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 1: Wiseman aided that news organization in verifying something that was

1432
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 1: not meant to be public. He could be in really

1433
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 1: big trouble. And I know this because I've talked to

1434
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 1: people about this that are in the know. UM So

1435
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: far he is still on the Special Council. He has

1436
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: not been removed. UM so the investigation is still ongoing.

1437
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: But as noon as they find something, or if they

1438
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: do find something, uh, they will remove him from the

1439
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: Special Council. And that's what I've been told all right,

1440
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter, We'll see on Hannity tonight with the very

1441
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: latest on all of this. Thank you for being with us.

1442
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: By the way, Steve Bannon now is out at Bright

1443
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: Part that has been breaking. Will have the very latest

1444
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: on all of that. Also, we'll get your calls in

1445
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,600
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. One Shawn, if you

1446
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. We got

1447
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 1: an incredible Hannity tonight nine star on the Fox News Channel.

1448
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: Will tell you about that and your call straight ahead.

1449
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: All right, so we do have some breaking news. Glad

1450
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 1: you with us twenty five now until the top of

1451
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: the hour. Steve Bannon now has stepped down from Bright

1452
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: Part News Network, where he served as the executive chairman

1453
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: since and Bannon said, I'm proud of what Bright Part

1454
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: and its team is accomplished in so short a period

1455
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: of time and building out a world class news platform. Um. Look,

1456
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: obviously this is connected to everything that came out in

1457
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 1: Michael Wolf's book. He waited a number of days to

1458
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: clarify as related to Donald Trump Jr. And he used

1459
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: the word uh traitorous and money laundering and uh, now

1460
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: this has all come back to bidem I assume probably

1461
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: Roy Moore's issue as comes into play at least with

1462
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 1: some there. But we'll get the inside story, um, and

1463
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: we'll have more on that tonight on Hannity nine Eastern.

1464
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: I want to start here and play the immigration flip PLoP.

1465
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear from Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton,

1466
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,719
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, and it's amazing. It just proves how everything

1467
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: is about the political climate in terms of positions they take.

1468
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: People who enter the United States without our permission are

1469
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: illegal aliens, and illegal aliens should not be treated the

1470
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: same as people who entered the US legally. President's decision

1471
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: to end DACA was heartless and it was brainless. When

1472
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: we use phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message

1473
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: to the American people that their government is not serious

1474
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: about combating illegal immigration. Hundreds hundreds of thousands of families

1475
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,879
Speaker 1: will be ripped apart. If you don't think it's illegal,

1476
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: you're not gonna say it. I think it is illegal

1477
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:02,679
Speaker 1: and wrong, and of thousands of American businesses will lose

1478
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: hard working employees. And the argument them as the President,

1479
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: is Americans don't want to do the work way just

1480
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: can't find American workers to do the work because the

1481
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 1: president that is a cruck in many instances, it's just

1482
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 1: not true in my view, from decision to end the

1483
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: doctor program was some eight hundred thousand young people. Is

1484
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 1: the cruelest and most ugly presidential act in the modern

1485
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: history of this country. I cannot think of one single

1486
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: act which is ugly and more cruel. We've got to

1487
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: do several things, and I am, you know, adamantly against

1488
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. People have to stop employing illegal immigrants. Come

1489
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: up to Westchester, go to Suffolk and NASA County. Stand

1490
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: in the street corners on in Brooklyn or the Bronx.

1491
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna see loads of people waiting to get picked

1492
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: up to go do yard work and construction work and

1493
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: domestic work. You know, ID this is not a problem

1494
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 1: that the people who were coming into the country are

1495
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: solely responsible for there coming if we didn't put them

1496
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 1: to work. My proposal will keep families together, and it

1497
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: will include a path to citizen chip. The number of

1498
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 1: immigrants added to the labor force every year is of

1499
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century.

1500
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 1: If this huge influx of mostly low scale workers provide

1501
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,639
Speaker 1: some benefits to the economy as a whole, it also

1502
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 1: threatens to depress further the wages of blue collar Americans

1503
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,520
Speaker 1: and put strains on an already overburdened safety net. Immigrants

1504
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: aren't the principal reason wages haven't gone up. There are

1505
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:44,480
Speaker 1: those in the immigrants rights community who have argued passionately

1506
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: that we should simply provide those who are illegally with

1507
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: legal status, or at least ignore the laws on the

1508
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: books and put an end to deportation until we have

1509
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: better laws. But I believe such an indiscriminate approach would

1510
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: be both unwise and unfair. It would suggest to those

1511
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: thinking about coming here illegally that there will be no

1512
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: repercussions for such a decision, and this could lead to

1513
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: a surge in more illegal immigration. These are students, their teachers,

1514
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: their doctors, their lawyers, their Americans in every way, but

1515
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: on paper, those who enter the country illegally and those

1516
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: who employ them disrespect the rule of law, and they

1517
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 1: are showing disregard for those who are following the law.

1518
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United

1519
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people

1520
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 1: who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants.

1521
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 1: Real reform means establishing a responsible pathway to earn citizenship.

1522
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:57,679
Speaker 1: How political expedients he always kicks in. Uh, now, we'll

1523
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: have a lot more on this. We played in in

1524
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 1: the last hour, this long exchange, and oh we all

1525
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: agree on DACA. Yeah, I'm I don't agree on DACA.

1526
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: I agree on building the wall building, the wall building,

1527
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: the wall building, the wall building, the wall building. At first,

1528
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: that's what we need to do because you always get

1529
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 1: the consideration, the amnesty. You never get the wall, You

1530
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:20,480
Speaker 1: never get the security, never get the end of chain migration.

1531
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 1: You always get you know, I mean, I just it's frustrating.

1532
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 1: Always get the spending increase, and then oh, in future

1533
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: years out years will get the We'll get the tax cut.

1534
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't you never get the tax cut. You know,

1535
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: this time it was different. So I think there's a

1536
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 1: way to do this and do this right. But anyway,

1537
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,560
Speaker 1: it was the one thing that was interesting is the exchange.

1538
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 1: Just from the standpoint these are all the people that

1539
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 1: say he's crazy, Well, he seemed pretty smart, sober, engaged,

1540
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: listening measured all the things that everybody in the media

1541
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: says they want him to be. And you're never gonna

1542
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: get any credit for that for this president. All right,

1543
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 1: let's get to our busy telephones here as we say

1544
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: hi to Patty Is in Las Vegas k Dawn Radio.

1545
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 1: What's up, Patty? How are you glad you called? Happy

1546
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: New Year? Happy New Year. I hope you had a

1547
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: great holiday. Thank you. I think good. It's good to

1548
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: have have time with family and then reboot the new year.

1549
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:28,479
Speaker 1: I'm a little frustrated. Um So in watching this, this

1550
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: whole meeting, the thing that struck me was Trump was

1551
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,639
Speaker 1: actually treating it like it's the business that it is.

1552
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: We have business in this country as far as immigration

1553
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 1: that needs to be handled, and the priorities should be

1554
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: the wall docta for for any representative to say, well,

1555
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 1: we just need to talk about doctor and we'll work

1556
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:49,640
Speaker 1: with you on the wall later. Yeah, because you've been

1557
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 1: the party of working with us, You've been the party

1558
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: of resist. You you have no interest in working anything.

1559
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 1: You want, what you want when you want it, and

1560
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: then you're going to resist anything that we want. As

1561
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: conservatives and Republicans, they are brought to the table. Now,

1562
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: I think I think you're writing in a whole variety

1563
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,560
Speaker 1: of ways. I'm gonna tell you where this this capitulation

1564
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,640
Speaker 1: on DACCA is. I think the President is committed to

1565
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 1: everything that he ran on, and he wants the wall

1566
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 1: built and built. Finally, I actually have confidence this time

1567
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. And he's asking for eighteen billion dollars

1568
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:26,639
Speaker 1: to build the seven miles of wall. And sadly it's

1569
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: not our first rodeo. And the Democrats want their amnesty

1570
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 1: in whatever form they can get it. Um. But but

1571
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: here's the truth. It's a simple truth that Republicans that

1572
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 1: say they want border security want DACA as bad as

1573
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: the Democrats. The establishment wants data. I want security first,

1574
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: and because I don't trust them, I'll never trust them anyway.

1575
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: Appreciate you being with us. Let's say, hide next to

1576
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: Buddy Is in Sun City in Florida. What's up, Buddy?

1577
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: How are you? Happy New Year? Happy New Year? You Sean,

1578
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:04,600
Speaker 1: You're I've been looking at the last revel You're the

1579
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: hard organist guy in America. Uh, it's I'm the luckiest guy.

1580
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,600
Speaker 1: Well that's amazing. I let you do. But look I

1581
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: wanted to get you some information. I was trying to

1582
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: get it to you last week when it happened. But

1583
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 1: I was stationed in during Vietnam. I was stationed. I

1584
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: went in sixty seven, got on seventy one, and I

1585
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: was stationed and uh Tempo Air Base and uh In

1586
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: in South Korea for about twelve months, the last tour

1587
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,400
Speaker 1: before I came home. But anyway, I learned a lot

1588
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 1: about Korean culture, Asian culture, and I got to know

1589
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: a lot of the special forces. There are the Korean

1590
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 1: Special Forces, their Marines, a great guys, tough fighters. But anyway,

1591
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: I remember when Nixon went to China in the mid

1592
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: seventies and was sitting in the People's Hall and at

1593
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: the big desk and uh everybody was aging how how

1594
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 1: wonderful it was. And on the wall you saw a

1595
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: Chinese flag and you saw an American flag. Well, the

1596
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:02,799
Speaker 1: Chinese flag is twice as big as the American flag.

1597
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,479
Speaker 1: And in Asia, that is a direct insult. That means

1598
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: my enemy is meeting me at my at my choice

1599
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: of places, and he has agreed that his to fly

1600
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: a smaller flag, and that means he is acquiescing to me.

1601
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: He is nothing compared to me, and I can tell

1602
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: him what to do, and I'm basically the boss, and

1603
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: they're just They're just a bunch of weasels come here

1604
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 1: to meet us and and kiss our feet. Well, look,

1605
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 1: when Trump tweeted that tweet last week, I like to

1606
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: fell off the cats laughing. And I'm still laughing because

1607
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: all the brilliant people in Washington and all the brilliant

1608
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: people in the news media, they have no idea that

1609
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: when this little weasel says I have a nuclear button

1610
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: on my desk, and then Trump used Asian culture and

1611
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 1: nobody picked up on that to tweet back that not

1612
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: only do I have a button on my desk, but

1613
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: my button is far bigger and far more powerful, and

1614
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:03,280
Speaker 1: my button work. That was a direct insult using Asian culture.

1615
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, unless the President was willing

1616
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 1: to fly a you know, see one thirty or numerous

1617
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:16,080
Speaker 1: c one thirty cargo planes with billions of dollars to

1618
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: bow and kiss the ring and kiss the backside of

1619
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: a murdering dictator, nothing that he ever says or does

1620
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: is ever gonna be loved by the media. It's just

1621
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:30,600
Speaker 1: a fact. And you're you're exactly right. Bullies need to

1622
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 1: be confronted. You know, they acted the same way when

1623
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:38,759
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan said, well, bombing begins in five minutes, or

1624
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 1: Mr Garberg trough tear down this wall or whatever you know,

1625
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: and then they don't look at history. You don't look.

1626
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 1: It's a good deal for the amrrying the people and

1627
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 1: everyone will prevent them getting nuclear eppens now and your

1628
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:57,479
Speaker 1: bribery of dictators fails. Obama's deal with the Iranians is

1629
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: going to be an uttered disc haven't heard a lot

1630
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,680
Speaker 1: about the student protesters lately. By the way, I don't

1631
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 1: know why the media is not covering at all. It

1632
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:08,679
Speaker 1: seems like they don't want freedom, liberty, democracy to take

1633
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: hold there. Anyway, Thank you for your um service to

1634
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,680
Speaker 1: your country. Thank you for calling, and thanks for checking in.

1635
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 1: Will is in Chicago. Next on the Sean Hannity Show,

1636
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 1: the answer, What's up? Will? How are you glad you called?

1637
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 1: Thank Sehn? Happy New Year to you, Happy New Year.

1638
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: So you know, listen, John, I just have a couple

1639
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: of thoughts, and you tell me what you think, UM

1640
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 1: regarding this whole Wolf book. You know, the number one

1641
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 1: question I've been hearing on talk radio and even on

1642
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Fox News from your colleagues, is that why was this

1643
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 1: guy allowed in the White House? Now, one thing we've

1644
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: heard about President Trump repeatedly is the fake news media.

1645
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 1: And what does he mean by that? He means that,

1646
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, the vast majority of the media cannot be trusted,

1647
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:47,040
Speaker 1: and I think that's very true. So what my question is,

1648
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 1: why what this guy in there? I mean, Sean, I'm

1649
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 1: gonna say this. I voted for the president and I

1650
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,879
Speaker 1: support it, but there's a problem with President Trump wanting

1651
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: And I think it's not just him. I think it's

1652
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:58,600
Speaker 1: politicians are like, they want to be liked, But I

1653
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: got news for you. They'll never like you. This news

1654
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 1: media will never like you, never go They all like

1655
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: Bannon for five seconds when he was trashing the President's

1656
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,800
Speaker 1: son and others. That's and then now they're back to

1657
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:16,640
Speaker 1: hating him because he stuck up for Donald Trump Jr. Absolutely,

1658
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 1: And you don't, Sean. The other thing is is either way,

1659
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't suffer from that syndrome. I actually thrive on

1660
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: the fact that they hate my guts. I like that part.

1661
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:27,599
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care if they like me or not.

1662
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't have that that switch in my

1663
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 1: head that needs to be liked by leftists. I know,

1664
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: you know, and that's what sets you apart. But you know, Sean,

1665
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 1: the president does have a little bit of an ego problem.

1666
01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:40,920
Speaker 1: But what he needs to realize. I have three things

1667
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:42,760
Speaker 1: that I if the President wants to listen to me,

1668
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:44,960
Speaker 1: a cop, what do I know? But you know something,

1669
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:48,640
Speaker 1: I would say three things to him. Get behind the

1670
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 1: desk in the Oval office and speak directly to the people,

1671
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,759
Speaker 1: don't tweet as much, and have at least three people

1672
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 1: that you can rely on. Yeah, he's not going to

1673
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: do that. Listen, I I I listen. It's all good advice.

1674
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling he's not gonna listen. Um, I know, but

1675
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:06,400
Speaker 1: with Sean an answer this one question of Sean. You

1676
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: know they know very well that you know, outlets like CNN,

1677
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 1: MSNBC in the dinosaur media, they're never going to cover

1678
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: him fairly. So my question is, don't give him an interview.

1679
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 1: I didn't think. I thought Steve looks I like Steve

1680
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 1: Miller a lot. He's a really smart, smart guy, and

1681
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 1: he's added so much to both the campaign and the

1682
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 1: White House, and and he does his work quietly, and

1683
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 1: he's not looking for you know, a lot of credit,

1684
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: and he's serving the country and the president at the

1685
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:33,760
Speaker 1: same time. But I didn't think he was smart to

1686
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,320
Speaker 1: go on with Jake fake news Temper. I just didn't

1687
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 1: think it was a smart move. And um, you know,

1688
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean look at Tamper. I mean he's so hyper politicized.

1689
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 1: It's just it's like the number one, there's no audience,

1690
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:50,000
Speaker 1: and number two, what's the point there's it's so predictable

1691
01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 1: everything that's gonna happen. Um. Anyway, Well, the one thing

1692
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,800
Speaker 1: I'll add this to to what you're saying here. The

1693
01:31:55,840 --> 01:32:00,280
Speaker 1: President did dispute that he gave access to Michael Wolfe um.

1694
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 1: Mark Berman of National Reporter for the Washington Post disputed,

1695
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, the account in the book. Steve Miller disputed

1696
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:11,599
Speaker 1: the account in the book. Sarah Sanders disputed the accounts

1697
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 1: in the book. Trump disputed the accounts in the book.

1698
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 1: Gary Cohne disputes that he wrote an email. I disputed

1699
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 1: things that were said about me in the book a

1700
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 1: number of things. Mike Pompeo disputed it. McConnell's aid disputed it.

1701
01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:29,760
Speaker 1: Tom Barrock of Fortune or he told Fortune that he

1702
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,320
Speaker 1: disputes what went on. Even Anna Wintour disputed it. The

1703
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 1: Tony Blair disputed aspects of the book, many aspects. Melania

1704
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 1: Trump disputed aspects of the book. I mean, you know,

1705
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 1: and and we can prove that there's factual errors in

1706
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,519
Speaker 1: the book alre like not knowing who John Bayner will

1707
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:48,800
Speaker 1: He played golf with John Bayner and he tweeted about

1708
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 1: John Bayner. So I think that answers that. All Right,

1709
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:57,400
Speaker 1: we got an incredible Hannity, the immigration battle, the data debate,

1710
01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 1: Trump the negotiator, an amazing displayed today. We're gonna play

1711
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:03,680
Speaker 1: a lot of that will also show you the Democratic
