Anyway, glad you with us.

A lot to get to obviously, 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: I got a lot to say about Robert Mueller and 39 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: his appointment as the General Council investigating. This is a 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: whole new level and I think the administration better understand something. 41 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna explain that in a second. Um, we're 42 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: gonna get into some of the other issues of the 43 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: day that we've kind of been ignoring because of all 44 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: the news. I'm gonna explain everything that's happening with the media, 45 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: especially the the five groups that want to take down 46 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: the president, which is probably where I'm gonna start here 47 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: in a second. You know, I am. Here's what's happening. 48 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: There's now a cycle and it really came out in 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: all of its ugliness this week and as much as 50 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: you know in the last week and a half, in 51 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: two weeks, it's just been NonStop. And what the cycle 52 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: is is this that you get either the New York Times, 53 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, CNN, whatever liberal media group that it 54 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: happens to be, and they come out and then they 55 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: dropped their big bomb, anonymous source, people outside of the 56 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: White House say he revealed secrets to the Russians and 57 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: out people outside the How would people outside the White House? 58 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: Why would we take their word over people that were 59 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: in the meeting in the White House with the press. 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Is that it that are telling you factually what they 61 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: heard and saw and it didn't happen. But the media, 62 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: what they do is they take it. They dropped their 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: bomb headline, They go for the cheap headline, and then 64 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: boom it explodes, usually late in the day, we call 65 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: it a late day drop. And then after the late 66 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: day dropped, then you get on the nightly newscast breathless 67 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: reporting and then hysterical reporting, and then only to find 68 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: out later that, oh, sorry, that was maybe maybe the 69 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: guy inside the room is actually the one that's probably 70 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: telling the truth. They don't pull it back, they don't apologize, 71 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: they don't try to make good on any of these things. 72 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: They just don't. And it's been one after another after another, 73 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: after another after another. And that's why I've identified, you know, 74 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: the greatest threat now to this president. This there is 75 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: a threat. These people want to destroy President Trump. The 76 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: deep State doesn't like him, they don't think they can 77 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: control him. They are part of the swamp. And you know, 78 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: James Comey, what he did this week is beyond the 79 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Pale and the New York Times beyond. I sent myself 80 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: a memo after meeting with the president. Okay, what did 81 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: you send you what did you send yourself in that 82 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: memo that was so important that we can't believe that. 83 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: Oh my god, did he try to obstruct justice? Is 84 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: that what they're saying, that he tried to obstruct justice? 85 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: The President of the United States of America, Linda what 86 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: was the date we got it? That was in January? January? January? 87 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: Now do we have the tape of Comy from May 88 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: and James Comey said nobody ever tried to obstruct justice, 89 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: because he says in his own words, he actually goes 90 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: on it would be a big deal if somebody tried 91 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: to get me to stop an investigation. Is the Attorney 92 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: General senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a 93 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation? In theory, yes, 94 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: as it happened, not in my experience, because it would 95 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop 96 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: doing something that without an appropriate purpose. I mean, we're 97 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: oftentimes they give us opinions that we don't see a 98 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: case there, and so you ought to stop investing resources 99 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: in it. But I'm talking about a situation where we 100 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: were told to stop something for a political reason. That 101 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: would be a very big deal. It's not happened in 102 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: my experience, It's not happened after the memo, Then why 103 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: is this even a headline? Trump tried to convince him 104 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: to stop. Now there's another problem, Comey has and and 105 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: you think of the breathlessness of the reporting and the 106 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: word impeachment this week came out over and over and 107 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over and 108 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: over and over over and over again. Impeachment and peachment 109 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: and peachment. I can play it all. We've played it 110 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: for you earlier in the week. You know, we've got 111 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: a new introduction. We do it on TV and now 112 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: we're starting it on radio and we're calling it our 113 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: fake News Round Up. Listen to the introduction that we 114 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: made because this is part of what I'm calling the cycle. 115 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: You gotta understand if all these other countries can be propagandized. 116 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: You know, I've been fascinated over the years about groups 117 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: thinking brainwashing and hypnotic Yes we can, Obama. It was 118 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: sort of like nobody thought for themselves, and we're like 119 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: here on an island trying to expose Frank Marshall Davis 120 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: and and the o Lynsky disciple and the Acorn activists 121 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: and and hanging out you know, uh in the Church 122 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: of g d America. Uh. And he is like family 123 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: to me, Reverend right, But I didn't know what this 124 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: guy was thinking. And air is enduring the unrepentant terrorists, 125 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: and and who made up the core of who Obama 126 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: was when we ended up being vindicated, but the rest 127 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: of the country was in a trance. I spend hours, 128 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why, I'm fascinated For hours I spend 129 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: watching the American Hero Channel and watching the History Channel 130 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: and trying to understand evil. You know how it's very, 131 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: very hard for good people to comprehend evil, it really is. 132 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: And that a hundred million human souls were destroyed and 133 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: murdered in the last century alone, the Gulags, Russia, Stalin 134 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: killing fields, Cambodia, Communism, fascism, Nazism. And I watched these 135 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: videos and you see the pictures of the people in 136 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: the crowd, and they do their they're sick, twisted evil 137 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: Nazi salute? Is they what's wrong with these people? Wake up? 138 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: How can you do? Are you watch? You know? We 139 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: saw during the Iranian Revolution when the Ayatollah Holmany took 140 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: over power from the Shah of Iran and and all 141 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: the people. They would beat themselves in their face until 142 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: they bled this. They just they wanted to prove that 143 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: they themselves were the most loyal. You know, how does 144 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: somebody wrote this in my book Deliver Us from Evil? 145 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: How does somebody go to work every day and their 146 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: job is to take fellow human beings off a train? Uh, 147 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: make them feel like they're gonna be well taken care? 148 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: How many of it? There's dre's this, doctors, carpenters, plumbers, 149 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: Oh good, we've got work for you. Make you take 150 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: your clothes off, think you're taking a shower, and then 151 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: kill you. How do you go home to eat at 152 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: night when you slaughtered your fellow human beings? There is evil, 153 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: evil at a very high level, and there is groupthink 154 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: at a very high level. I'm not comparing Obama supporters two, 155 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, I am saying they're different degrees of indoctrination. 156 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: And human beings have this incredible desire to be accepted. 157 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: They want to be accepted and they want to be 158 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: in the group. And I see this among journalists on Twitter. 159 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: They just okay, I'll tweet you if you tweet me. 160 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: They all want to be like. They all want to 161 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: be accepted. I see this among weak Republicans. They want 162 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: to be like, they want to be accepted, they want 163 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: Democrats to respect them. Probably the most guilty of this 164 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: now is John mckeenney just wants to be like, wants 165 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: Democrats to like them. We'll prevented him, you know, from 166 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: even putting up a fight for the presidency. There is 167 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: a certain unquestioning behavior among partisans by the way, right 168 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: and left. I only use Obama because those yes, we 169 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: can't Obama. Now. It's not the same as the ayatollahomany 170 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: or or or radical Islamis or anything like that. But 171 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: but it's a different level. It's the same thing. If 172 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: you're not questioning, if you're not asking questions, you know, 173 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: it's it's you know, go back to what I'm saying 174 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: here about the news media or James Comey. James Comey 175 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: comes out blaring headline New York Times. You know that 176 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: Trump tried to get him to obstruct justice, that he 177 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: said to lay off Comey. Hope you lay off Comey. 178 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: Media headline feeding frenzy anonymous sources. And then we find 179 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: out much later, Oh he said, Wait a minute, in 180 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: May that nobody ever tried to do it, and if 181 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: they did try, it would have been a big deal. 182 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: And this happened in January and then we discovered it 183 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: takes us a day. We discovered that. You know, if 184 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: he was so concerned about the dinner with Trump trying 185 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: to get Michael Flint off the hook, well then he 186 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: had a legal obligation. And I would assume the FBI 187 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: director knows the law eighteen US Code four or US 188 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: Code thirteen sixty one, that he could have broken and 189 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: committed two felonies by not going to the Justice Department 190 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: and giving them the information. So that's dead. Just like 191 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: you know we discovered today my buddy Rowan's Scarborough is 192 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: just a terrific, terrific human being national security reporter for 193 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: the Washington Times. And you know they tweeted out in 194 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: the Washington Times today. Comey didn't ask for more money 195 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: the interim FBI director, Remember we heard after Comey was fired. 196 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: Well that's just because he asked for more money for 197 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: the Russia investigation. That's not true either. That didn't happen. 198 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: And the Washington Post got it wrong again. They got 199 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: everything wrong. You know, one are the other headlines that 200 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: they got wrong last week. I can't even remember all 201 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: the times they've got these things wrong, you know, But 202 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: on every big major issue headline and the cycle that 203 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: they go through, they try to ate a warwind of 204 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: feeding frenzy, and they do, and they're getting people hyped up, 205 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: and they're making Americans think that Donald Trump is going 206 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: to be impeached, and they're creating the notion that it's 207 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: ungovernable and he can't do his job and eight of 208 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: his time and his staff time is being spent, you know, 209 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: defending this nonsense. Just like, for example, when the deputy 210 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: attorney general this was the other Washington Post story, he says, 211 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, they reported, Oh, the deputy Attorney general said 212 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: he was gonna quit because he was being used as 213 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: an excuse to fire come. And then he did an 214 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: interview with the station in d scene said I never 215 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: threatened to quit. It doesn't matter. The Washington Post will 216 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: drop their next bomb without being held accountable from basically lying, 217 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: false reporting, fake news, call whatever you want, and and 218 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: that's the cycle we're in. You know, I told so 219 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: many people that you gotta understand something. The stakes are 220 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: high for the left. If Donald Trump is successful. It 221 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: it is the worst thing that can happen for them, 222 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: but especially after eight years of Obama a failure. And 223 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: I gave you all of those statistics, poverty, food stamps, 224 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: people out of the labor force, lowest home ownership rate, 225 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: doubling the national debt. Donald Trump's successful, and we become 226 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: energy independent, and we have more security with the wall, 227 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: and we're venting people that have that come from cultures 228 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: that contradict our our constitutional republic. And if he goes 229 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: forward with education back to the States, and and we 230 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: actually see dramatic increases and test scores, and especially in 231 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: inner city America. If the president's success, we're energy independent, 232 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: and that means that we don't have to worry so 233 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: much about the free flow of oilt market prices and 234 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: could keep us out of foreign conflicts in the future. 235 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: If the president is successful with an economic plan that 236 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: creates millions of jobs for Americans and and puts the 237 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: rungs of the ladder back in the ladder so they 238 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: can climate again. That is a an existential threat to 239 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: everything that represents modern liberalism, redistribution, socialism, big government, nanny state, 240 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: womb to the tomb cradle, to rave you know, ideology 241 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: that has failed over and over again, and it's the 242 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: environment that we're living in. This this is now unprecedented 243 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: in terms of they want to destroy him. How is 244 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: it that James Comey says Hillary admits Hillary's committing felonies. 245 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: Nothing we want a real Russia collusion story. Just look 246 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: to the Clinton server scandal. Wow, America's uranium going to 247 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, the foundational material to build nuclear weapons. And 248 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation is pounded with millions of dollars in 249 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: donations and build doubles, a speaking fee in Moscow. Here's 250 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: a Here's a scandal, Russia scandal. Nobody wants to pay attention. 251 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: How is it that guys like Michael Flynn and maybe 252 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: even me, I'm told, have been surveiled and unmasked, and 253 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: then in the case of Flynn, the unmasking results in 254 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: the leaking of intelligence, a felony of violation the Espionage Act. 255 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: And we have Circuit dot Com, CIRCUITOS dot com, and 256 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: Sarah Carter and John Solomon reporting dramatic increases in the 257 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: surveillance in this country in the election cycle in and sixteen, Well, 258 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: do we have an increased national security threat. I don't 259 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: think so. Are we using the guys of national security 260 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: to spy on Americans and trample on Fourth Amendment constitutional rights? 261 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: I think yeah, bite sized version of the show that 262 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: you can take with you to sign up today for 263 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: Hannity Headlines to Hannity dot Com.

Trump told the Russians, firing the nut job 270 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: Comey eased investigation pressure. Okay, let's look at the piece 271 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: and let's see, let's see who the source Isn't this 272 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: all right? So they got the pictures and it looks 273 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: really professional in the New York Times, all the news 274 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: that's fit to print. And President Trump told Russian officials 275 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: in the Oval this month of firing FBI Director Comey 276 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: had relieved great pressure on him. According to a document 277 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: summarizing the meeting, I just fired the head of the FBI. 278 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: He was a crazy, real nut job. He said, according 279 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: to the document, which was read to The New York 280 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: Times by an American official, who's the official, who's the 281 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: deep state? I mean, really that's we get these kind 282 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: of leaks in the Obama years. I don't. I think 283 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: they liked Obama because they can control Obama. I faced 284 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: great pressure because of this Russian narrative. It's yeah, I mean, 285 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: if you're fighting back a lie every single day for 286 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: month after month after month. And he added, I'm not 287 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: under investigation. And you know, but the question here is 288 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: what does that mean. It doesn't mean anything at all 289 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: in spite of what the headline is. And you know what, 290 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: James Comey kind of seems schizophrenic. He's like he wanted 291 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: to be the most respected, the most professional, the most 292 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: this and then he'd lay out the case and Hilary 293 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: should be indicted and I'm liking, I'm making the closing 294 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: arguments in a courtroom and only to get to the 295 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: end and say never mind. He nuts. You know, how 296 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: does he, you know, make such a big deal about Well, 297 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: I had a memo and in my memo to myself, 298 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: I said to myself, well, he asked me, I hope 299 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: this this Flynn thing can go away. But I didn't 300 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: think enough of it, because five months later he was 301 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: testifying under oath, saying it would be a huge deal 302 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: if somebody tried to get me to stop an investigation. 303 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: You know. Then of course we discovered their laws that 304 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: governed if an FBI director is appealed to an obstruction 305 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: of justice would take in place. He would have been 306 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: obligated under the law to go after Russia. I'm sorry 307 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: to go to the Justice Department after Russia. I'm getting tired. 308 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: I can't even keep all of this straight, wrote a 309 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: friend of mine of humanity.

Are they the same 335 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: people that told you that the Deputy Attorney general Washington 336 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: Post threatened to quit and you got wrong last week? 337 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: And those are the same people that told you that 338 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: James Comey wanted more money and had asked for more 339 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: money for the pro before he quit before he was 340 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: fired by Trump, that you got wrong. Who are these people? 341 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: The senior White House advisor. I mean, it all sounds 342 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: so ominous. And then this is the cycle. They dropped 343 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: their bomb there, late day drop anonymous sources, people familiar 344 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: with the matter. Oh well, I can be familiar with 345 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: any matter. Just tell me what matter you want me 346 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: to talk about. I can make up both sorts of crap. 347 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: This is the same Washington Post that was wrong about 348 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: Comey asking for money, same Washington Post last week wrong 349 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: about the Deputy Attorney General saying that he threatened to quit. 350 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: Just wrong. That both became big bombs, late drop news 351 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: and then you go to the media that night. They 352 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: do it just before the nightly newscast and the big 353 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: networks just for the cable shows, and they figured they 354 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: can control the narrative and then they create. Then the 355 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: networks love it because not only that, they're the ones 356 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: more than any of they want to bring the president down. 357 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: They want us much collateral damage. They invested in Obama, 358 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: they invested and concluded with Hillary is visa v Wiki leaks, 359 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: and they just want to take the president down. They 360 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: just don't like his agenda. They supported Hillary, they supported Obama. 361 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: They never vetted Obama. They never told you the truth 362 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: about how Obama failed, and now whatever the leak is, 363 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna run with it. Nobody's ever gonna hold them accountable, 364 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: and they create hysteria, and then it results in you 365 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: tuning into TV at night and hearing this.

I mean, Mark 396 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: likes to be aggressive, and don't like Mark. I can 397 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: play that. I can drop the same word pumps on 398 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: you was your job dropping on me? And I met him. 399 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: I actually like him. I think he's a great guy. 400 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: And I know he doesn't like Trump. That's his business. 401 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: That's I'm fine with that. And I don't care what 402 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: he does and what he says. I don't care what 403 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: his political views are. We live in a great free country. 404 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: At least for now, it's our Fourth Amendment rights are squashed. 405 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: Here's a fascinating thing to me. And he's not happy 406 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: with me covering the Seth Rich issue. And I'm like, uh, Mark, 407 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: you got to understand something here. This is deep and 408 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: this is profound um And what's happened and why this 409 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: is important is why for he was killed on June 410 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: the twelfth, twelve days later, Wiki Leaks dropped there d 411 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: n C email bomb which ended with Debbie Washonontults getting 412 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: fired and other people getting fired, and it exposed collusion 413 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: at the highest levels of the Democratic Party that they 414 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: colluded to defeat Bernie sand Bernie had no shot, he 415 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: had the super delegates into the mix. It was full on. 416 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: D n C had a side, and it was Hillary. 417 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: And why this is important is well, number one, the 418 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: narrative has always been that the collusion that Vladimir Putin 419 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: and the Trump campaign, you know, colluded to dump these 420 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: things to defeat Hillary Clinton. Now was this investigation has 421 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: gone on nearly a year and there's no there there 422 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: and there's no evidence there. Now we got a special counsel, which, 423 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: by the way, it creates a huge danger for the 424 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: president in this sense. You know, the special counsel wants 425 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: to always justify its existence. I don't know Mueller. I 426 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: don't know where he's headed. And I guess anybody that 427 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: in any contact with Trump. By the way, if you 428 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: guys want to contact me, number one, I'm a journalist. 429 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: Number two, I refuse to answer any questions. It's a 430 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: sad state of affairs. Think about this in America. One 431 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: of my good best friends in the world, his best 432 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: buddy is an FBI guy that I've gotten to know, 433 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: and I've talked to him, and I talked to other 434 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: FBI guys, and we talked about different cases that have 435 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: come up over time. And I'm like, look at the 436 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: Denny Haster case. You know, Denny Haster probably did all 437 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: these horrible things with paying this guy off. All that's 438 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: all right, so fine, but that's not what he got 439 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: in trouble for not in trouble for lying to the FBI. 440 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: And I say, well, I mean, I love the FBI 441 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: FI that comes to my house. Are you gonna want 442 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: to help your friends in the FBI. I'm not gonna 443 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: tell you what he said. Well, I won't tell you fully. 444 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: He said, you never talked to the FBI, he goes, 445 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: because the second you're not consistent with what you said before, 446 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: they're just looking to screw you, especially in this political environment. 447 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: That's sad because instinctively, as a law abiding citizen, I 448 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: want to help my friends in the FBI because I 449 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: have great respect for law enforcement, as all of you 450 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: that listen to this program regularly. No, and I'm being 451 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: told by lawyers too, you can't ever talk to people. 452 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, you're kidding me, right, I mean you want 453 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: to help, you want to? No, don't because if you 454 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: say one thing that contradicts something else, or you had 455 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: forgotten a conversation that you had with somebody that might 456 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: sound a little different than what you're saying now, in 457 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: this political ironment, they'll try to destroy you, just like 458 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: the I R. S was used to destroy conservatives. That 459 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: makes me sad. From my country, it makes me very 460 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: sad because I've met Secret Service, I've met Intel people, 461 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: I've met FBI people. I've had family and law enforcement 462 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: my whole life, and I have the deepest love, respect, 463 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: and appreciation for what they do. But in this politically 464 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: charged environment where we're now watching, we're literally, you know, 465 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: wondering and watching whether or not And this is where 466 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: Circuit News comes in and John Solomon and Sarah Carter 467 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: whether or not our intelligence community could have been weaponized 468 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: trampling our constitutional rights a Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable 469 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: search and seizure where they're literally surveilling Americans or foreign 470 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: entities of surveilling it, and they have access to the 471 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: to the accumulation of data of foreign intelligence agencies, and 472 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: that quote technically legally gets them off the hook. Or 473 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: if you have, you know, a case of unmasking, which 474 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: is just wrong. If Americans are incidentally surveiled while they're 475 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: doing their legitimate work to protect Americans and keep us 476 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: safe and in a dangerous, evil world that's so necessary, 477 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: and they incidentally pick up an American, they're supposed to 478 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: minimize its process of minimization, they don't do it in 479 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: the case of General Flynn, and you know, and then 480 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: when they write up the document that's supposed to say American, 481 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: they don't even even if they know who it is. 482 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: And then we have the leaking of intelligence violation the 483 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: Espionage Act. And the reason that this seth Rich thing 484 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: is so amazing to me is number one. With Julian 485 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: Assan said, if I had to guess, he probably regrets 486 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: because he basically all but identified this kid as the source, 487 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: not Russia. They might say, Hanny, why should I trust WikiLeaks? 488 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: Julian asans, Okay, he does have an eleven year track 489 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: record and never been wrong. Never. By the way, the 490 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: charges against him in Sweden would dropped today. Sure, that's 491 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of pick up um. But then 492 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: he has the bigger threat where there are people in 493 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: the United States that want extradition because he had published information. 494 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: That's a different issue for a different day. But my 495 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: only point here is if in fact it wasn't the 496 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: Russians that gave this information on the d n C, 497 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: the files to the d n C, and let's say 498 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: it was somebody else, well, the whole Russia conspiracy narrative 499 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: of impacting the election dies. So Julian ossang all but 500 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: kind of in that Dutch interview. To me, my interpretation 501 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: is saying, wow, it sounds like it. And meanwhile he's 502 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: denying that he ever got anything from any state or 503 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: Russia specifically. And we've interviewed the many times on the 504 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: show and on on Hannity the TV show, and I 505 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: went to London where you might remember, and yeah, he's 506 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: be inspired on all the time and we all know that. 507 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: And so then you've got this kid that works for 508 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: the d n C. And then you got him. He's murdered. 509 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: Twelve days later, the wiki leaks dump comes on the 510 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: d n C. He should They've been saying for almost 511 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: a year that this is a robbery. Big problem with 512 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: that is they shot him in the back. They killed 513 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: this poor kid, and my thoughts and prayers do go 514 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: out to his family. You lose the twenty seven I 515 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: lose the twenty seven year old kid. I'm done, stick 516 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: a fork and meat done. I don't think I'd ever recover, 517 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: and I've got pretty broad shoulders, So I my heart 518 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: goes out to them, My prayers go to them. But 519 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: they didn't rob him. They didn't take his I guess 520 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: he had a chain or necklace. They didn't take his wallet, 521 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: they didn't take his phone. Uh, how's that they didn't 522 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: take his watch? How's that a robbery? How do you 523 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: justify calling it a robbery? Now, if you look at 524 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: there was one of the Washington papers that said, and 525 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: it was the former UK and asset or to Uzbekistan 526 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: who's connected to Julian Osanja said, Yeah, there was a 527 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: transfer in a wooded area near American University. And here's 528 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: the question. Is it possible that somebody within the d 529 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: n C ranks saw the injustice, the collusion, the unfairness, 530 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: basically a coordinated effort to steal or prevent Bernie from 531 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: ever having a fair shot at the nomination that supported 532 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, and that maybe they were so outraged at 533 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: this immoral conduct that they decided to expose it. Is 534 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: that a possibility. Well, the media is not even contemplating 535 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: asking that question. Now, we've been out there on a 536 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: limb investigating Obama before he became president. While everybody was 537 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: in there. Yes, we can know Obama, Obama, Obama. And 538 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: they're chanting, and we told you the truth about Obama. 539 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: And we investigated Hillary and the email els and Uranium 540 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: one deal and the corruption and the lies and Benghazi 541 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: and everything else. We do their job. They've ignored all 542 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: of this and every step of the way. I'm always 543 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: told my called careers on the line, and if you 544 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: support Donald Trump and he loses, you're over. You're done. 545 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: We'll write your obituary. And what I'm doing is what 546 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: I've done in the past. I'm investigating it and asking questions. 547 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: Something doesn't smell right to me, and the media is 548 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: ignoring that as they come out with their fake news 549 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: story of the day. That's what we're doing. So to Mark, 550 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, it just doesn't smell right to me. 551 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: Doesn't smell right one sewn. You want to be a 552 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: part of the program. All right, as we roll along, 553 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show eight one, Sean, alright, new Gingrich.

I need 564 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: music to make me happy. Right now. This is the 565 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show podcast. Right our to Shawn Hannity Show, 566 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 1: right down, our toll free telephone number this Friday at 567 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: eight one Shawn, if you want to be a part 568 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: of the program. Now, he's been traveling abroad. We've not 569 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: had him on the program in a while. But you know, 570 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: with all of this what I'm calling now the cycle 571 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: of hysterion and anonymous sourcing and late day drops and 572 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: breathless reporting um, and then it all turns out to 573 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: be false. For example, the Deputy Attorney General did not 574 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: attempt or did not say he was going to resign, 575 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: but that was the head in the Washington Post. James 576 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: Comey did not ask for more money just before he 577 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: got fired by Donald Trump, or all the other many 578 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: false news stories that have come out in recent days. 579 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: You know, the discussion, well, secrets were revealed to the Russians, Okay, 580 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: but the people in the room say that's not true. 581 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: And all the other fake phony news and all the 582 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: breathless reporting in the hysteria and the impeachment talk and 583 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: joining us with his perspective as former Speaker of the House, 584 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: New King Ridge, I actually quoted you this week when 585 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: you weren't here, because you wrote a brutal takedown of 586 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: the mainstream media. Well, look, I just trying to accurately 587 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: report on what's going on, and the fact is that 588 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: they are. Have you just gone off the deep end? 589 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: Well you even said, you said it's discussed, You're disgusted 590 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: and it's despicable, and it is well. And I had 591 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: the experience. I was in Kiev and the Ukraine, and 592 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: people there were getting their news from CNN and the 593 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: New York Times. And I talked to a student group 594 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: and a young parliamentarian group, and then to more older 595 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: and more mature group, and again and again I was 596 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: getting questions as though these false stories were true because 597 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: all their only source of reference was CNN, which was 598 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: hysterical twenty four hours a day and being anti Trump. 599 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: And we dunt realized that CNN has done more damage 600 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: in the last four months to the United States overseas 601 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: than either Al Jazeera or provd ever dreamed they would do. 602 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: Because people believe in them. They say that's an American network. 603 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: They must be telling me the truth. But I've identified 604 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 1: five forces that would like to take down the president. 605 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: I think the most dangerous is the deep state. I 606 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: think that is the intelligence leaking, surveillance, unmasking. We don't 607 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: get to the bottom of that. It's never gonna end. 608 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: Even Chuck Schumer said, yeah, you go against them, they'll 609 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 1: get six ways in Sunday. Then the media, with their breathless, 610 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: hysterical reporting every day, creates an impression that this president 611 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: is not able to govern. That's part of their goal, 612 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 1: and ultimately their their top goal would be to take 613 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: them down. Then you've got Democrats. They they wanted impeachment 614 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: since November nine, ain't. Then you've got weak Republicans that 615 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: won't defend the president. Then you've got the never trumpers. 616 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: They're fueling the fire to say that we were right 617 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: and people like Gingrich and Hannity were wrong. Of course, 618 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this is why I have so strongly endorsed 619 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 1: Dennis Prager's view though we were in a cultural civil war. Uh. 620 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: These these people make perfect sense if you understand that 621 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: the world they want, the way they want to change America, 622 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: the left wing values they want to impose, all of 623 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: those things are put at risk by Donald Trump. And 624 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump succeeds their entire world, he was going 625 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: to disappear. And I think that's why you have this 626 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: bitterness and this anger and in some cases violence or 627 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: threats of violence. I mean, it's the most intense I 628 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: can remember it in my lifetime in terms of genuine, 629 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: deep political hostility. Look, I was with you when you 630 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: were speaker. I was there for a lot of that time, 631 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: and it was hostile. Then this, this is at a 632 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: level that is so much higher. And when you look 633 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: when you start having members who have death threats, when 634 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 1: you have a woman chasing a congressman down the street 635 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:09,359 Speaker 1: in a car, when you have young fascist threatening uh 636 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: to beat up anybody in a parade where they don't like. 637 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you just get down the list of things 638 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: that have been happening recently, and it really is like 639 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties in Germany and Italy. I mean, the 640 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: left has just gone off the deep end and they 641 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 1: are prepared to use every means they can to stop 642 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I agree wholeheartedly, I really do. So what 643 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: what about how the White House is handling all this? 644 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: Do you can they make improvements? To me? Well, it 645 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: seems like of their time now is being consumed with 646 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: just dealing with the six o'clock or five thirty or 647 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: five forty five daily bomb that the hate Trump destroyed 648 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: Trump media is gonna dump on them. Well, that's part 649 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: of the reason I wrote the newsletter at English Productions 650 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: which said, you know what, are they going to fight 651 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: or surrender? I almost want to interrupt you and say, okay, 652 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: now that's it sounds worse than it is, and you 653 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: want me to talk for you for a minute, because 654 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: you know it's okay. I just them several long airplane 655 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: rides in my voice tried out. The White House does 656 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: not yet realize this is a real war. They can't 657 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: appease the media. I mean, the President has launched with 658 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: some of the media who hate him, despise him, attack 659 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: him every day. He's legitimizing the very people who spend 660 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: their time attacking him, and that's just wrong. And I 661 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: think the White House, I hope when they go on 662 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: this trip that they will really take some time and 663 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,439 Speaker 1: think about the mess that they've left behind in terms 664 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: of the news media, the hostility the Democrats in Congress, 665 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,439 Speaker 1: and I hope they'll come back prepared to really think 666 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 1: about how you fight this kind of a campaign, because 667 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: you have to be prepared to fight every day, and 668 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: you have to be deciding that. You know, they have tools, 669 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: if they want to use them, they give them enormous advantages. 670 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: For example, the president can report direct to the American 671 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: people and simply ignore the news media. And he did that, 672 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: he would get his message across and then let the 673 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: news media figure out how they were going to cover him. 674 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: Every time he dances with him, he makes he empowers them, 675 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: and he makes them look more creditable and more respectable 676 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: than they should be. Okay, so I agree with you. 677 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 1: So look, you always think and have concrete abc D 678 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: one to three four. What are the A B C 679 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: D one to three four answers from your perspective? Well, 680 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: first of all, don't take their baits and spend your 681 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: time talking about just trash, I mean all the stuff. 682 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: If you were to look at the last five weeks, 683 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: the amount of time the White House has spent on 684 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: left wing trash is absurd. The President will talk about 685 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: job creation. The President will talk about the kind of 686 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: health system we want. The President will talk about national security. 687 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: The President will talk about cutting red tape and regulations 688 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: and all the junk that these people want to spend 689 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: every day. And this is why they should they should 690 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: stop having the daily press briefings because Spicer is not 691 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna ever be able to get past the guard Beach questions. 692 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: They're gonna come up from the news media. And so 693 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: the news media right now has the President dancing to 694 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: their tune. Well, the president has the ability to go 695 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: on Facebook, he has the ability to talk from the 696 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: Oval Office, he has the ability to do daily briefings, 697 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: He can do major speeches. If he will be disciplined, 698 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: he can step past all this junk and rebuild his 699 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: national coalition around the things that affect American people's lives. 700 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: It's a simple test. If it affects the lives of 701 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: the American people, talk about it. If it's just Washington gossip, 702 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 1: do not talk about it. I'm not I'm being serious 703 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: with this question, and you might interpret it the wrong way. 704 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 1: I don't mean it the wrong way. Is that realistic? 705 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: Is it possible to ignore the press? Why not? I'm 706 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: just asking you. Where seventy four percent of the country 707 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: is on Facebook, you can can you can create your 708 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: own channel. Trump did create his own channel. If he 709 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: had relied on the press, he'd have lost the election. 710 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: But he created channels on Twitter, and she created anneals 711 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: on YouTube, created channels on Facebook, he created channels on Snapchat. 712 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: I mean, he was out there doing stuff and doing 713 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 1: it better than they're doing it right now, because right 714 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: now they're allowing the press to define what the topic is. 715 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: Do you think they're having never defined a topic that 716 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: helps Donald Trump? Do you think they've had a negative effect? 717 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: And what do you make of all the impeachment talking, 718 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: what do you make of the the the general Council appointment, 719 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: Special Council appointment. Well, I think first of all that 720 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: the White House has to understand that this is very dangerous. 721 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: Now you're now entering criminal law. You're not this is 722 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: not a New York real estate deal. And they need 723 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: to have the right lawyers, they need to behave very carefully. 724 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: And then they to understand that what happens is, you know, 725 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: people who are totally innocent, get caught up, say the 726 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: wrong thing, end up committing perjury or obstruction of justice, 727 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you're in a totally different 728 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: fight you never dreamed of. So they've got to take 729 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: this very carefully, and I don't think yet that they've 730 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 1: done that. Second, put it to one side. There every 731 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 1: question they could ask about this topic, they can say, 732 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: that's current of being handled by by Mueller, and we're 733 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 1: working with Mueller. We're cooperating totally. Next question. That's all 734 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: they have to say. You know, it's a very interesting 735 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 1: it's a very interesting question because I have an FBI 736 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: friend of mine, really like all these FBI guys that 737 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: I've ever known, and all the secret servicemen I've met, 738 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: and and all the people and intelligence i've met. You know, 739 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: what they say to me is that if the remember 740 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: think of all the cases like Danny Haster with a 741 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: payment deal he got in trouble for lying to the FBI. 742 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: All right, now, let's say you say something and you 743 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: just misremembered it. And I'm not joking around here. I mean, 744 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 1: that's four years earlier and you said this to them, 745 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: or there's a difference between outright lying. I mean, it 746 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: almost seems to me you can't win if you don't 747 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: have a perfect memory in being interrogated by law enforcement, 748 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 1: if they are weaponized with a political agenda. Sure, Look, 749 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: I've I've said very directly. People like Flynn should never 750 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: testify unless they get a grant of immunity. Because you 751 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,240 Speaker 1: go in front of one committee, you give an answer, 752 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: You go to a second committee, you give an answer. 753 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: You sit down and get interviewed by the FBI, and 754 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 1: you give an answer. And some very smart people take 755 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,320 Speaker 1: those three answers, lay them over each other and say, no, 756 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 1: wait a second. In paragraph nine sentenced to you were different. 757 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 1: Now why were you different? Were you hiding something? And 758 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: you get into The person I feel the most angered 759 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: about is Scooter Libby, who literally did nothing wrong. The 760 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: Independent Council, who was supposedly going after a leak, knew 761 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 1: who had leaked. It was a member of the State Department, 762 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: told that person to shut up and not admit they 763 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 1: leaked so he could use his was Richard Armitage. They 764 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: knew from day one that leaked. They knew it, and 765 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: then down the investigation because the Independent Council wanted to 766 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: get a Vice President Cheney. You know, I had this 767 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: story that came out about me not that long ago, 768 00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: and I never verified it. Well, I might have been 769 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 1: on masked and surveiled, and I just talked to some 770 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: lawyer friends of mine, And I said, Okay, what if 771 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: what if this is true? They said, what Number one, 772 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 1: you're a journalist. Number two, these are lawyers. Is that 773 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: I'd never let you say a work? And I said, well, no, no, no. 774 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: When they asked me a question, they said, I can't. 775 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 1: We can't because if you don't have a perfect memory, 776 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 1: you're you're you're setting yourself up. And I'm thinking, I 777 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: love the FBI. I'd only want to help the FBI. 778 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what my natural instincts are. But is that, like, 779 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: is that the world we're now living in that I 780 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 1: can't have a try and help people that I love 781 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 1: and respect. You better be very careful because you become 782 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: the next target. Listen. I had an independent council appointed 783 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: against me a speaker. We turned over a million pages 784 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 1: to think about that, a million pages, and then I 785 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 1: sat down for hours and he would say, now here 786 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: on page fifty two thousand five, as smart as you are, 787 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 1: you can't possibly keep up. It's an impossible task. It's impossible. 788 00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: I'd stay right there. We'll continue more with the Speaker game, 789 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: which Hannity bite sized version of the show that you 790 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: can take with you.

Just got back from doing a lot 794 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: of You can't just dive in like this. All the 795 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: years I've known you, this is the first time I've 796 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 1: heard you talk about your underwear. Let me tell you, 797 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you something. I'll send you the T shirts, 798 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: I send you the mark for the record that on 799 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: this date, Sean ended up underwear. I think it's got 800 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: to be fake news. This is probably fake news. I 801 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 1: don't even know what you're talking about. You know, for 802 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 1: all the years I've known you, you know when you 803 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: the admonition you just gave before the break about the 804 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 1: special counsel and the President, he better take it seriously. 805 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 1: Why in my mind? And I don't know Mueller, I 806 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: don't know if you know him, I don't know him personally. 807 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: And more that he loves call me and he may 808 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: have some bias. That call me was fired. But I 809 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:06,760 Speaker 1: think what scares me is at the end of this 810 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: this thing, it's all gonna hinge on an interview with 811 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 1: the president, after months and months and months and months 812 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: of investigations go on. I mean, what is the president. 813 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: Remember it's not just Muller. Mean, Miller's very very respected. 814 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: He was a very courageous American in Vietnam. He by 815 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 1: every standard, he is a tremendous professional. But he's going 816 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 1: to head up a team of investigators, and those investigators 817 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 1: are all trained to look at every piece of evidence 818 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: and wherever possible to draw the most negative possible conclusion. 819 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: And they're gonna look at an enormous amount of material. 820 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 1: And as you point out, they're then going to start 821 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 1: with with the White House team, and then they're going 822 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: to get to the President, and they're gonna be tracking 823 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 1: back and forth. Now, in this meeting on December eleven, 824 00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, one of the fifty two meetings you had 825 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 1: that week, two people remember this, and one person remembers that, 826 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 1: what do you think happened? That's really a dangerous ground. 827 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: And the president needs a world class attorney who understands 828 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: how to deal with this kind of investigation. And frankly, 829 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 1: every person who's going to be touched by Miller should 830 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: have a first class attorney and not assume in any 831 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: way that any of this is a risk free game. 832 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: This is a very dangerous project. It has the potential 833 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 1: to put people in jail, and you have to deal 834 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: with it with that level of seriousness. Is it now 835 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 1: the point where journalists that are conservative but now under 836 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: the same level of attackers, this is gonna it's gonna 837 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 1: be at the White House. I have always felt this, 838 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 1: and I'm under more attack than I ever have ever been. 839 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: And I know you've been under attack your whole life, 840 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: to be honest, so you're this is you know nothing 841 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: for you. But it just feels like it's got a 842 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: level of intensity that the left wants as much collateral damage. 843 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 1: Anybody that supports the president, likes the President, believes in 844 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: the agenda, and that means everybody in the White House, 845 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 1: everybody outside the White House, that everybody now is going 846 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 1: to be subject to all sorts of attacks that never 847 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: they're never ending. The inference is this the left is 848 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,719 Speaker 1: now so frenzied and so furious that they want to 849 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 1: humiliate and destroy. They don't if you watch them on 850 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: college campuses, they engage in and hunting down conservatives, They 851 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,320 Speaker 1: engage in ridiculing and humiliating people. When there's a whole 852 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 1: mood out there that I think is very, very dangerous. 853 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: I first saw it when Scott Walker proposed to reform 854 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: the Civil Service bureaucrats in Madison, and he and his 855 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: wife both got death threats, and I thought, you know, 856 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 1: this is really touching on earth. And uh, and I 857 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 1: think that's what you're seeing. They don't just want to 858 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: defeat President Trump. They want to humiliate him, drive him 859 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: from office, and make sure that no populous conservative can 860 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,840 Speaker 1: win for the next half century. So they want to 861 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: make an example of him, and he needs to understand that. 862 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 1: And remember, nine of the donations in the State Department 863 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:58,240 Speaker 1: went to Hillary Clinton, of the donations in the Justice 864 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: Department went to Hillary Clinton. That gives you some idea 865 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 1: what the balance of the culture is like and what 866 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 1: they think about the current president United States. All right, 867 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 1: Mr Speaker, thank you. All right. Eight hundred nine one 868 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: Sean is our toll free telephone number.

And I've always I like respect Mark. It 883 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: seems to have a real something in his craw about 884 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: the President Donald Trump. And we're going back and forth 885 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,359 Speaker 1: and he keeps asking me, why are you reporting on 886 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 1: this this young man, this twenty seven year old d 887 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: NC Stafford Seth rich Um, And well, I can only 888 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 1: say this now. Although Reddit is putting up some interesting 889 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: do you trust the people that reddit, Linda, I do. 890 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of people that are 891 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,760 Speaker 1: reporting that are doing the hard work that the journalists 892 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: are not doing because they're too busy reporting fake news. 893 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 1: I'm digging really hard, is all I'm gonna say. Like 894 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,799 Speaker 1: we did a deep dive into Obama, like we did 895 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: a deep dive into Obama's failures, like we did a 896 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: deep dive into the Clinton Foundation. We don't need to 897 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: do a deep dive. There's nineteen cameras on the block 898 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 1: where the man was murdered. We just need to see 899 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 1: the tape. Where's the tape. Let's see the tape. Okay. 900 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 1: And I have come across somebody that is a friend 901 00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 1: of his, that cares deeply about what has happened to him, 902 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: and that feels strongly um that this this is this 903 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,799 Speaker 1: look that you can't call it a robbery for a 904 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,280 Speaker 1: year and they shoot somebody in the back. I'm sorry, 905 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: it goes. It defies all common sense and logic that 906 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,800 Speaker 1: I have. I want to be respectful to the family, 907 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 1: and apparently they're upset and they're mad, and they're annoyed 908 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 1: at anybody reporting it and the idea that perhaps he 909 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 1: might have had contact with Wiki leaks, etcetera. But you 910 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: know what I'm being told is he was a Bernie 911 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 1: supporter and had a lot of social media accounts, and 912 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: you know that he might have been doing the right thing. 913 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: This is where my investigation is going. I want to 914 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 1: find out if he was a person of deep conviction 915 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 1: and conscience and felt and discovered that the d n 916 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: C had colluded to absolutely screw over Bernie Sanders and 917 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders supporters and to me, which would make him 918 00:51:54,719 --> 00:52:00,840 Speaker 1: a real icon of clastic, courageous truth teller. And I 919 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 1: don't know why. I guess because it's everything is colored 920 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,800 Speaker 1: by the world of politics today that that would somehow 921 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: be a a bad thing. But if you're gonna rob somebody, 922 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 1: you're not gonna steal their wallet. You're not gonna take 923 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 1: their credit cards, You're not gonna take their a necklace 924 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,239 Speaker 1: that might be worth something, or a phone, or you're 925 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,920 Speaker 1: not gonna take their watch. I don't know that seems that. 926 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 1: Is there anybody in there that thinks that sounds a 927 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 1: little odd? Everybody? All right, you guys are all waving 928 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,360 Speaker 1: your hands, and you know, I got something that is 929 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold off on. It's on Reddit, A thousand 930 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: and one gates, you know, to the to the truth 931 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: here and that in fact that he was a Bernie 932 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,319 Speaker 1: Sanders supporter. Now I'm going to investigate this. Now, why 933 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 1: does this matter? Because the whole narrative if in fact, 934 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 1: if in fact it was a person of conscience that 935 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: discovered what ended up get Debbie Wasserman Schultz fired, and 936 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 1: that in fact it was somebody other than the Russians, 937 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 1: maybe from within the d n C. And I'm not 938 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 1: saying necessarily set at all, And my thoughts and prayers 939 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: go to him and his family. I can't imagine losing 940 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: a twenty seven year old child. I don't know how 941 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 1: you recover from that, and and I just there's it's 942 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 1: I'd be I'd not be consolable at that point. So, 943 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: but finding an answer. Is it a possibility that the 944 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:34,279 Speaker 1: entire Russia collusion narrative and story is false? Now I 945 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 1: can understand why the media is not interested in it, 946 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 1: because that's going to expose them as having been god 947 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 1: awful wrong forever. That's it. That then would say, you know, 948 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,239 Speaker 1: the media, then it's sort of like everyone in the 949 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: media that did the tinfoil had conspiracy theory Russia Trump campaign, 950 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 1: Trump transition team conspiracy theory will have been proven wrong. 951 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 1: And that you know when I listen to Julian Assange 952 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 1: and his own voice, and I know somebody says, Hannity, 953 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 1: why do you trust Julia? He's never been wrong in 954 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 1: eleven years and you gotta give Wiki leaks credit. I 955 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 1: also think I have a better understanding of him, having 956 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 1: met him and interviewed him as often as I have. 957 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: It's just my opinion, all right, So you can see 958 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: I think a lot of you. You don't want to 959 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,840 Speaker 1: trust my judge. Don't trust my judgment. Question ask, ask questions. 960 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:37,040 Speaker 1: But this wasn't a robbery. It was not a robbery. 961 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 1: There's nothing that points to a robbery. And that's been 962 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: the rigid narrative forever. He's the next question, who's in 963 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:50,240 Speaker 1: possession of this young man's computers? Who has them? Because 964 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: they tell a tale? Yes or no? Where are they? 965 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: Just the thought? All right, let's get to our busy 966 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: telephones here as we go to let me see Billy 967 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 1: is in Savannah, Georgia. What's up, Billy? Hi there? Thank 968 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 1: you for listening to my idea. Yes, it's physically harming. 969 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 1: Are plotting to harm the president is a major crime? 970 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,320 Speaker 1: All right, So let's follow all the little snowflakes down 971 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 1: their little rabbit holes. Right. Emotional and mental distress is 972 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 1: very bad, and anyone who causes someone to have emotional 973 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 1: and mental distress should be accounted for. You know, they 974 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:42,440 Speaker 1: should be you know, taken care of, right, So I'm listening, 975 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,799 Speaker 1: go ahead. Then why then are the media, the Democrats 976 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 1: and the Republicans attacking, belittling, bad mouthing, trying to diminish 977 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 1: the president's reputation, and not only that, now they're dragging 978 00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 1: his young son into it. Okay, if any emotional damage 979 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 1: can be done, let me tell you that would be 980 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,279 Speaker 1: the one for me. You know, they're dragging his son 981 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,279 Speaker 1: into it. They're causing all this damage and this, you know, 982 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 1: to his reputation to itself. Are they not then, by 983 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 1: their own philosophy and belief, becoming the biggest criminals that 984 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,480 Speaker 1: we know. Look, you haven f behin director. It was 985 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: partnering with a guy that believed that he had and 986 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: had a dossier. He was about to put him on 987 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: the payroll, that believed that Donald Trump had hookers and 988 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: the rich Carlton in Moscow years ago and they were 989 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,360 Speaker 1: urinating on his bed. And it's only because it became 990 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,760 Speaker 1: public that that stopped. That was James Comey that wanted 991 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 1: apparently to put this guy on his on on some 992 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 1: type of payroll. Then you've got Melania Trump, and we 993 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: know the horrible things said about her. Then you've got 994 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 1: incest jokes, not that there's such a joke in the 995 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: world about Ivanka Trump. Then you've got a ten year 996 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 1: old being picked on. Then you've got every single persons 997 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 1: rounding the president, liking the president, supporting the president, all 998 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 1: being attacked. And you've got to go back to my narrative. 999 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 1: It's you know today is you've got to see the cycle. 1000 00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,360 Speaker 1: You gotta see the breathlessness. You've got to see. You know, 1001 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 1: it's sadly when they drop a bomb story and I 1002 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 1: mean a bomb stinker, but that they create as much 1003 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 1: chaos as they can. It gets proven wrong, then they 1004 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 1: just drop another one and everyone forgets that the last 1005 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 1: three things that they reported on were lies. And that's 1006 00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 1: the Washington Post today. You know, I I honestly think 1007 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 1: we're getting to a point where libel laws have to 1008 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 1: change in the country. And I believe in freedom of speech, 1009 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 1: but having been a victim of slander and smears and 1010 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 1: besmirchment and outright lies, it's you want to defend yourself. 1011 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,600 Speaker 1: And the first thing my lawyer says to me, you're 1012 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 1: a public figure, and I get it, the bar becomes 1013 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,920 Speaker 1: that much higher. So I got you know, what you 1014 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 1: can say is that there's nothing really that they can do. 1015 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 1: There's except we can demand that better reporting. I mean, 1016 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, one of the reasons I think Talk Radio, 1017 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: Fox News, Matt Drudge, Breitbart, the Fox News Channel have 1018 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 1: been under such heavy fire is they want to keep 1019 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,280 Speaker 1: us off our game. They want us out of the 1020 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 1: game because we expose them and we're an alternative. But look, understand, 1021 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 1: it's it's there is a cultural battle going on that 1022 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,920 Speaker 1: I have never seen in my life, with an intensity 1023 00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,439 Speaker 1: of never seen in my life. And this is this 1024 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 1: is a real battle, a real conflict, and there are 1025 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,560 Speaker 1: no compunctions, so it seems in terms of any adherence 1026 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,320 Speaker 1: or fidelity to truth or ethics on the other side. 1027 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,080 Speaker 1: So I'm just embracing what it is. I face the truth, 1028 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 1: I understand what I'm up against, and I go from there, 1029 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 1: and I think that's all we can do. Thank you, Billy. 1030 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 1: Let's say hide to Mark and North Carolina. What's up? Mark? 1031 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: How are you glad you called? Hey? Sean, great to 1032 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 1: talk to you, man, I've tried so hard to get 1033 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,640 Speaker 1: through to you. Thank you me real quick. I think 1034 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: that uh first thing is I wish I could move 1035 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,680 Speaker 1: from North Carolina to South Carolina, just so I could 1036 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: help the primary. Uh Lindsay Graham the first tied to 1037 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham and McCain and these guys absolutely you know, 1038 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 1: betraying their party and just the fact that they even 1039 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:33,440 Speaker 1: helped to allow this, this uh independent Council go. It's 1040 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 1: just something that Democrats would never allow, and they're just 1041 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 1: getting out maneuvered. I don't know who he thinks he's 1042 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 1: serving secondly on the Independent Council. I'm hoping Trump uses 1043 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 1: that to his advantage and has Sean Spicer and everybody 1044 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 1: from his administration just say, look, there's an investigation. We're 1045 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: not gonna answer one question about this fake news anything 1046 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 1: related to it. We're not talking about it ever. Again, 1047 00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 1: there's an you know, use the old a. There's an 1048 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 1: instigation going on, so we can't talk about it, and 1049 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,320 Speaker 1: just just just keep calling it what it is. Absolute 1050 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 1: fake news. It's really fake news. And I gotta tell you, 1051 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 1: they're getting good at it. They're getting good at the 1052 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 1: hype and the hysteria. Now, look, there's gonna be a 1053 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 1: point where, except for the really really hardcore leftist, where 1054 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 1: those people that are buying into the hype, and you 1055 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 1: know that they're gonna have to realize, all right, how 1056 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 1: many more times are you gonna suck me in with 1057 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 1: hopes that Donald Trump is on his way out the door? 1058 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 1: You know? The good news is, Look, this is a 1059 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:38,160 Speaker 1: long term conflict. They want to undermine an election, the 1060 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,240 Speaker 1: election results. They don't want this president to be able 1061 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: to govern. And if we care about the direction of 1062 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 1: the country and want to prevent this from happening, that 1063 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 1: we've got an obligation and now engage like we did 1064 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,680 Speaker 1: in the election, with the same intensity. And there's no 1065 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,400 Speaker 1: doubt the deep state of media, liberal Democrats, weak Republicans 1066 01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 1: and never Trumpers have their agenda to destroy the president. 1067 01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 1: And our job is if we want the country that 1068 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 1: we voted for, we've we've got to engage again. And 1069 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 1: I think people are sensing it. I feel it. I 1070 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 1: feel engaged to fight, and um, I feel engaged to 1071 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 1: tell the try. I feel as engaged as I did 1072 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:23,520 Speaker 1: during the election. To me, the stakes are just as high. 1073 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to our busy telephones.

I'm not 1143 01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: as abusively biased the CNN, That's true, The New York 1144 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Times are, Washington Post will continue. This is the Sean 1145 01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:19,680 Speaker 1: Hannity Show podcast. So far, You've not seen any evidence 1146 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:25,280 Speaker 1: of collusion, is that right? Well, evidence that would establish 1147 01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 1: that there's collusion. Well, I respect the move but the 1148 01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,520 Speaker 1: entire thing has been a witch hunt and there is 1149 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,680 Speaker 1: no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign. But I 1150 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:38,600 Speaker 1: can always speak for myself and the Russians zero, holding 1151 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 1: them accountable. Sean gets the answers no one else does. 1152 01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 1: Freedom is that in style? Welcome to the Revolution? Were 1153 01:05:53,360 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 1: Baby on? Sean Hannity shows information on breaking news and 1154 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 1: more bold inspired solutions for America going out next our 1155 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:17,000 Speaker 1: final news round up and information Overload hour. I think 1156 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 1: the American people want to know. Has the dismissal of Mr. 1157 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:26,040 Speaker 1: Comedy in any way impeded, interrupted, stopped, or negatively impacted 1158 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 1: any of the work, any investigation or anything ongoing the 1159 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,840 Speaker 1: projects at the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The work of 1160 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:38,080 Speaker 1: the men and women of the FBI continues despite any 1161 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 1: um changes in circumstance, any decisions um So, there has 1162 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 1: been no effort to impede our investigation today. So if 1163 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,360 Speaker 1: the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of 1164 01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:55,280 Speaker 1: Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation? 1165 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,360 Speaker 1: In theory? Yes, has it happened? Not in my experience, 1166 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 1: because it would be a big deal to tell the 1167 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: FBI to stop doing something that without an appropriate purpose. 1168 01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we're oftentimes they give us opinions that we 1169 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 1: don't see a case there, and so you ought to 1170 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,160 Speaker 1: stop investing resources in it. But I'm talking about a 1171 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 1: situation where we were told to stop something for a 1172 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 1: political reason. That would be a very big deal. It's 1173 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 1: not happened in my experience. Mr President. Let's get your 1174 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 1: reaction to Dept. The Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's decision to 1175 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:30,120 Speaker 1: appoint a special council to investigate the Russia Prussian interference 1176 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 1: in the campaign. Was this the right move or is 1177 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,280 Speaker 1: this part of a witch hunt? Well? I respect the move. 1178 01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,600 Speaker 1: But the entire thing has been a witch hunt, and 1179 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 1: there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign. 1180 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 1: But I can always speak for myself and the Russians zero. 1181 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 1: I think it divides the country. I think we have 1182 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 1: a very divided country because of that and many other things. 1183 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,760 Speaker 1: So I can tell you that we want to bring 1184 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 1: this great bunch of ours together, John, and I will 1185 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,160 Speaker 1: also say very strongly, we've had tremendous success. All right, 1186 01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,560 Speaker 1: the acting FBI director, then the FBI director, and then 1187 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,600 Speaker 1: the President. By the way, all of those remember we 1188 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 1: pointed out laws that are broken. In fact, if the 1189 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,760 Speaker 1: FBI director was told by the President, well let's end 1190 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 1: this investigation thing, the so called big memo story, flop 1191 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,760 Speaker 1: of the week, the obstruction of justice, well that would 1192 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,000 Speaker 1: have meant that he had a legal obligation as the attorney, 1193 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 1: as the FBI director of the United States to take 1194 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 1: it to the Justice Department. He didn't do it because 1195 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,719 Speaker 1: it didn't rise to the level. And he's on tape 1196 01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,880 Speaker 1: after the meeting saying no, no one's ever tried because 1197 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 1: it would be a big deal. And so is McCabe 1198 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: saying the same thing. Do you see how many fake 1199 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:48,320 Speaker 1: news stories that we were fed a line anonymous sources. 1200 01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,360 Speaker 1: And then after the anonymous sources come out and people 1201 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 1: outside the White House that weren't in the room. Well, 1202 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 1: then comes the media feeding frenzy, hysteria, Breathel's reporting. And 1203 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,640 Speaker 1: then after that we we spend twenty four hours, we 1204 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 1: put timelines together, facts together, other statements that these people 1205 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,320 Speaker 1: have made together, and lo and behold, the story gets 1206 01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 1: blown out of the water. Or we just actually interview 1207 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 1: somebody like the Deputy Attorney General who supposedly had threatened 1208 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,880 Speaker 1: to quit and he says, no, I never threatened to quit, 1209 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,720 Speaker 1: Or we talked about well, comey was fired, but he 1210 01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 1: was asking for more money for the investigation. No, that 1211 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,400 Speaker 1: didn't happen either. It just there's no end to any 1212 01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 1: of of this. But it's a cycle. Understand this is 1213 01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: the cycle. But now Democrats have realized that they went 1214 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 1: full on hardcourt press this whole week and last week 1215 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,320 Speaker 1: they got nothing. Now they say, well, let's back off 1216 01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 1: the impeachment talk because you know what, I think this 1217 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:43,760 Speaker 1: might begin to backfire. That's where we are. Former U 1218 01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,880 Speaker 1: S Attorney Matthew Whittakers with us. He's the executive director 1219 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 1: of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust former U 1220 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 1: S attorney from two thousand and four to nine. And 1221 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,639 Speaker 1: what about this memo? What about what you just heard 1222 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,160 Speaker 1: from James Commey's And it would be a big deal, 1223 01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,559 Speaker 1: a really big deal. Is somebody he tried to get 1224 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,760 Speaker 1: me to stop an investigation. Um, and then the big 1225 01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:07,760 Speaker 1: memo comes out. But what he said happened after the 1226 01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,599 Speaker 1: meeting with Trump. Well, and this is the thing, Sean, 1227 01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it is so frustrating for someone like myself 1228 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,839 Speaker 1: that served in the Department of Justice, that knows how 1229 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:21,400 Speaker 1: that organization runs, and to have everyone else wildly speculating 1230 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 1: as to the contents of a memo that no one's seen. 1231 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 1: The you know, sort of duties that FBI Director Comy 1232 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,240 Speaker 1: had that if he thought he was being interfered with 1233 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 1: by the President, what he would have done. We don't 1234 01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,040 Speaker 1: have any reporting that he did do that. So I mean, 1235 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,040 Speaker 1: it's just, you know, it doesn't prevent the the people 1236 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,680 Speaker 1: that hold themselves out his experts as to you know, 1237 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,840 Speaker 1: of making up news and like you said, creating fake 1238 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 1: news and and uh and and making accusations. But you know, 1239 01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,559 Speaker 1: right now, I don't see anything in my experience, that 1240 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,639 Speaker 1: would suggest that the president or or anyone has done 1241 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,639 Speaker 1: anything wrong. As it relates to the investigation that the 1242 01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:03,800 Speaker 1: now Special Counsel Bob Mueller is conducting, well, nobody ever 1243 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:08,280 Speaker 1: stopped the investigation. The investigation was not uh, not defunded 1244 01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 1: or not funded at the level that the FBI said 1245 01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:13,479 Speaker 1: they wanted or needed. There's still no proof whatsoever of 1246 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 1: collusion of any kind or or even contact. But yet 1247 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,759 Speaker 1: the conspiracy theories continue and and again. The double standard 1248 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 1: is so transparent. It seems to me that there's a 1249 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:26,840 Speaker 1: pattern that's emerged though. You literally have the news media 1250 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:28,559 Speaker 1: and it's a cycle here. What they'll do is they'll 1251 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 1: drop an anonymous source or people outside the White White 1252 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:36,240 Speaker 1: House or unnamed sources. They'll drop a late afternoon bombshell, 1253 01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,560 Speaker 1: so all the cable channels go insane. They'll have breathless 1254 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:44,240 Speaker 1: reporting that goes on and on and on after the 1255 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:48,480 Speaker 1: late day drop. And then after that then we find out, oh, 1256 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,880 Speaker 1: you mean, the Deputy Attorney General didn't threaten to fire, 1257 01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,639 Speaker 1: but that was a big lead story in the Washington Post. 1258 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,800 Speaker 1: And Comey didn't ask for for extra money because they 1259 01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:04,400 Speaker 1: have sufficient funding. I mean, I'm not sure how justice 1260 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,680 Speaker 1: could be carried out for anybody under these circumstances. Yeah. 1261 01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:11,320 Speaker 1: The good news is is that while the the sort 1262 01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,200 Speaker 1: of the these stories keep coming up and then are debunked, 1263 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,880 Speaker 1: what you actually have is the professionals within the FBI 1264 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice that our career uh folks 1265 01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,920 Speaker 1: with a lot of experience, are doing their jobs. And 1266 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, the alleged Russian interference in the election and 1267 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,880 Speaker 1: whatever that's been characterized as now, I haven't seen any 1268 01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:36,599 Speaker 1: reports of actual evidence that anything happened. Diane Feinstein said 1269 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,639 Speaker 1: it last night. I mean, she said, there's no evidence. 1270 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 1: With all the noise and all the hysteria that has 1271 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 1: gone on, there's no evidence at all. Um, And you 1272 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,840 Speaker 1: see what's playing out in terms of the national news 1273 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,679 Speaker 1: media here. Let me ask you this, if James Comey 1274 01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,599 Speaker 1: had this meeting with the president, which is in January 1275 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,040 Speaker 1: and then in May, he's saying it would be a 1276 01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 1: big deal if anyone tried to get me to stop 1277 01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 1: an investigation. Well, if in fact his notes that he 1278 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,439 Speaker 1: made to himself were accurate and he thought the President 1279 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:08,200 Speaker 1: was trying to influence him, isn't there are there two 1280 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:14,360 Speaker 1: codes eighteen US Code for UH US Code thirteen sixty one, 1281 01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: that would compel him legally that he would have had 1282 01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:19,640 Speaker 1: to go to the Justice Department. Yes, and and he 1283 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,960 Speaker 1: would be subject to criminal penalties himself if he didn't 1284 01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,920 Speaker 1: report that obstruction and and and we should have we 1285 01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 1: should take it for I guess let's assume that this 1286 01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,280 Speaker 1: memo exists, and let's assume that the President asked him 1287 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:35,200 Speaker 1: to stop investigating flynt Um. That doesn't rise to the 1288 01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,720 Speaker 1: level obstruction of justice. And it doesn't sound to me, 1289 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 1: based on what's been reported that Jim Comey, as he 1290 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,599 Speaker 1: sat there, believed that the President was telling to stop 1291 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 1: the investigation. As you know uh in in the law 1292 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,920 Speaker 1: and in these types of situations, the words and whatever 1293 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,000 Speaker 1: the President did or didn't say is going to be 1294 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,040 Speaker 1: very important. And if all he did was make a 1295 01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: mere suggestion and not an outright command, I don't think 1296 01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 1: that rises to the level. Couldn't couldn't have been the 1297 01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,679 Speaker 1: same thing as what he said about Hillary. And as 1298 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to cause these people anymore pain, I 1299 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,960 Speaker 1: don't want to do this, I have no intention of 1300 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 1: doing that. Remember he said that. I do remember that, 1301 01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 1: and I think was the obstructing was the obstructing justice? Then, 1302 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,400 Speaker 1: based on the standard that Comey is saying and the 1303 01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,559 Speaker 1: memo and the way the media is suggesting it, I 1304 01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:21,720 Speaker 1: don't think it's I don't think that's the case at all. 1305 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 1: And and I unless this memo is has been produced, 1306 01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 1: which I haven't seen a copy of it, but all 1307 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,720 Speaker 1: I've seen is the New York Times report of what 1308 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,000 Speaker 1: it may or may not contain. But the President denies 1309 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,160 Speaker 1: that that conversation even happened in the first place. So 1310 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 1: until we know all the facts, I to to suggest 1311 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,679 Speaker 1: that there's obstruction of justice here, I think it's taking 1312 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 1: a reckless uh step that I think some folks and 1313 01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 1: some media commentators are going to really regret. Ultimately. All right, 1314 01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,639 Speaker 1: let me ask you about Hillary Clinton. You heard James 1315 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,880 Speaker 1: come on the fifth of July last year. We know 1316 01:14:55,960 --> 01:15:00,120 Speaker 1: what the laws are regarding the handling of classified documents 1317 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:03,760 Speaker 1: and what gross negligence happens to be, and and that's 1318 01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:07,560 Speaker 1: the legal standard. And and Comy used the term extreme recklessness. 1319 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:11,160 Speaker 1: Is there any difference between gross negligence and extreme recklessness? No? 1320 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 1: And at the time, I wrote an op ed in 1321 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,840 Speaker 1: the USA Today that suggested I would have prosecuted that case, 1322 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:18,320 Speaker 1: and I'm a reasonable prosecutor. I think the evidence was there. 1323 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:20,920 Speaker 1: I think there was Actually you could point to several 1324 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:25,200 Speaker 1: facts that show that she had specific intent to do this, 1325 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:26,880 Speaker 1: and one of those would be setting up a private 1326 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 1: email server in the first place, in other words, that 1327 01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:34,160 Speaker 1: was designed to circumvent congressional oversight. Yeah, and especially foil laws, 1328 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 1: which I mean, we saw the communications between her and 1329 01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: Cheryl Mills and others about you know, a lack of 1330 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,440 Speaker 1: desire to have people poking around in their private correspondence 1331 01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:48,280 Speaker 1: top secret, classified documents, special access program documents on a 1332 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:51,919 Speaker 1: computer server in a mom and pop shop bathroom closet. 1333 01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Does that reach a standard of gloss? Gross negligence? Uh, 1334 01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,720 Speaker 1: erasing nearly thirty three thousand emails some top secret. Isn't 1335 01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:03,760 Speaker 1: that a violation of law? Aren't these felonies? I think 1336 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:05,960 Speaker 1: they absolutely are. And I think that you know the 1337 01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,400 Speaker 1: fact that, um, Cheryl, I'm Cheryl Milt, I'm sorry, but 1338 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 1: the fact that the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch at the time, um, 1339 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,720 Speaker 1: you know, acted in the way she did when the 1340 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,719 Speaker 1: decision was going to be made and sort of burned 1341 01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 1: herself with her tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton and then 1342 01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,720 Speaker 1: put it all on the FBI. Do you have any 1343 01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,840 Speaker 1: doubt that Hillary Clinton committed felonies? No? Not. Based on 1344 01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:29,720 Speaker 1: the evidence we know and what we've seen, there is 1345 01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,639 Speaker 1: no doubt that she violated the Missing in mishandled classified 1346 01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,840 Speaker 1: information and that would be a felony. Absolutely, And James 1347 01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:40,000 Speaker 1: Comy made a decision. Does that fit within the realm 1348 01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 1: and of prosecutorial discretion or does it seem political to you? Well, 1349 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,560 Speaker 1: it's it wasn't Jim's decision to make. And that's what 1350 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,679 Speaker 1: have been one of my criticism. You know, Rod Rosenstein 1351 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 1: served as the US attorney when I was U S 1352 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,080 Speaker 1: Attorney in Des Moines. He was the US turney Maryland, right, 1353 01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:57,479 Speaker 1: But he made the decision in the circumvented the role 1354 01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 1: of the Attorney General even if she needed to her 1355 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,840 Speaker 1: use yourself, we have we have methods to do that, 1356 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:04,880 Speaker 1: not for him to just take over and say I'm 1357 01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,439 Speaker 1: in charge, exactly. And that's and that was one of 1358 01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: the basis that Rod pointed out. It's what Jim should 1359 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 1: have been let go because he did not follow the 1360 01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:17,599 Speaker 1: standard traditions protocols of not only making those prosecutory decisions 1361 01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:20,080 Speaker 1: that aren't weren't his to make, but also to then 1362 01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,200 Speaker 1: go out and to talk about it so publicly, about 1363 01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,640 Speaker 1: a denial of you know where they decided not to 1364 01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 1: prosecute someone. All right, stay right there will continue more 1365 01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: with former US attorney Matthew Whittaker. It's our news round up, 1366 01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:37,360 Speaker 1: information overload. We have our Friday Florida, Georgia line concert series.

And as we continue with former U S 1373 01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:03,439 Speaker 1: Attorney math you Whittaker and uh again he spent years 1374 01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 1: as a former U S attorney two thousand and four 1375 01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,599 Speaker 1: to two thousand and nine. And what do you know 1376 01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,320 Speaker 1: of Robert Mueller? And do you think the special counsel 1377 01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,160 Speaker 1: is a good idea? Yeah, he was the FBI director 1378 01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,479 Speaker 1: when I was U S attorney And uh, you know, 1379 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 1: interact with him on a on a handful of time, 1380 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,640 Speaker 1: saw him speak, you know, heard Um, I have a 1381 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,720 Speaker 1: lot of respect for him. I think he's a you know, 1382 01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,559 Speaker 1: on both sides appear to be very impressed with him, 1383 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,720 Speaker 1: and should be. He's a former US during San Francisco 1384 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,600 Speaker 1: and then FBI director, and I think he uh, I 1385 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,800 Speaker 1: think he'll do a good job. I'm a little disappointed, 1386 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,280 Speaker 1: as you know. Um, there have been many of us 1387 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 1: that called during the Obama administration for special prosecutors in 1388 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:43,719 Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton email situation and and other instances where 1389 01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,520 Speaker 1: the Obama Department of Justice didn't appoint any special prosecutors. 1390 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: And and then you know, the Trump administration now appoints 1391 01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:54,599 Speaker 1: a special prosecutor to look at this alleged interference by 1392 01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, Russian nationals into the and collusion with the 1393 01:18:57,640 --> 01:18:59,960 Speaker 1: Trump campaign, which again there has been no evidence of that. 1394 01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,599 Speaker 1: So I do we know by now considering all the 1395 01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 1: smoke that is out there? I mean, you know enough 1396 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,960 Speaker 1: about the deep state, you know enough about our intelligence community, 1397 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:13,080 Speaker 1: you know enough about the methods that law enforcement have 1398 01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,400 Speaker 1: at at their avail, the tools at their avail. What 1399 01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:19,479 Speaker 1: don't we know by now if there was any there there? Oh? Yeah, 1400 01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 1: there's in This investigation has been going on for six 1401 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,960 Speaker 1: months already. UM, we there is probably a pretty clear 1402 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,800 Speaker 1: picture as to what was or most likely wasn't happening. Um. 1403 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 1: You know, clearly Flynn had some had some issues or 1404 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,320 Speaker 1: at least an issue with what he did or didn't disclose. Um. 1405 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,600 Speaker 1: But I just you know, this idea that there was 1406 01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:42,160 Speaker 1: some uh collusion with Russian nationals and and even putin 1407 01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 1: to uh interfere and did interfere with the election, I 1408 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,920 Speaker 1: think it's just ludicrous based on what we know at 1409 01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 1: this point. Well, I think you're right on a lot 1410 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,920 Speaker 1: of these things. Why if everybody is so concerned about 1411 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,760 Speaker 1: collusion to stories that stand out of my mind? One 1412 01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 1: is the president then President Obama tried to influence the 1413 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,799 Speaker 1: Israeli elections and defeat a sitting prime minister Benjamin That. Yahoo, 1414 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:04,920 Speaker 1: we even use taxpair of dollars to do it. You know, 1415 01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:07,439 Speaker 1: if that was such a big deal, why didn't anybody 1416 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 1: think about that? Well? Right, I mean, and this is 1417 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,440 Speaker 1: the you know, there is no doubt that both campaigns 1418 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:15,880 Speaker 1: were talking to other countries. You would want to be 1419 01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: well versed on issues all around the globe. And so 1420 01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,400 Speaker 1: I think it's funny that somehow this this story has 1421 01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,839 Speaker 1: been you know, created and regurgitated about the Trump campaign 1422 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:26,559 Speaker 1: in Russia. But we don't you know, we're not talking 1423 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,160 Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton campaign and all the foreign nationals that 1424 01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:31,519 Speaker 1: they were talking to because both campaigns wanted to be 1425 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 1: up to speed on geopolitical issues. Um. One last question, 1426 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,960 Speaker 1: and I want to ask it about the real Russia scandal. 1427 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 1: Have you followed the uranium one deal? Hillary Secretary of 1428 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,480 Speaker 1: State signs off on a waiver that allows of America's 1429 01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,400 Speaker 1: uranium to get in the hands of Vladimir Putin and 1430 01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 1: the people surrounding that deal in Canada and elsewhere, all 1431 01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, millions and millions flowing into the Clinton Foundation. 1432 01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,120 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton doubles his speaking rate and speaks in Moscow. 1433 01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 1: Does that sound like a pay to play scheme to 1434 01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 1: you or quid pro quote to you? And why haven't 1435 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 1: we investigated that? Well? It does. And at the time 1436 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 1: that that news broke um over a year ago now 1437 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 1: and uh, you know my the Foundation for Accountabilities to 1438 01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,559 Speaker 1: the Trust which I run in Washington, d C. We 1439 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,080 Speaker 1: spoke out and we called for That's another area where 1440 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 1: we should have had a special prosecutor because it was 1441 01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:25,080 Speaker 1: it really smelled bad as to the U State Department approval. 1442 01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: And then uh, this subsequent Clinton Foundation donations and and 1443 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,720 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's something that's still out there and I 1444 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:34,080 Speaker 1: hope eventually this Department of Justice can look into it. 1445 01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:38,479 Speaker 1: I appreciate your time.

You know 1465 01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,479 Speaker 1: many people are saying that to me. I got a 1466 01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 1: call from a friend of mine. Tell you, well, you 1467 01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 1: know they're gonna be you know they're investigating you. I 1468 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,880 Speaker 1: know that you know that you're in trouble. Listen, let's 1469 01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,160 Speaker 1: here's a little secret and truth that I'll never get 1470 01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,040 Speaker 1: credit for in my career. But everybody on my team 1471 01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: here who worked so hard for me every day, they 1472 01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,120 Speaker 1: know because they were a part of it. You know, 1473 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 1: when we were investigating Obama hard in OH seven and 1474 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,800 Speaker 1: O eight, I mean we were we were out there 1475 01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:12,040 Speaker 1: by an island one for ourselves, right, Linda, tell me 1476 01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: where I'm mistaken here, and warned by friends and foes 1477 01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 1: alike that this is the end. Remember that many many times. Alright, Alright, 1478 01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,800 Speaker 1: So it didn't stop us. We didn't think of the consequences. 1479 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,560 Speaker 1: We just we just kept pursuing it. Um. We pursued 1480 01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 1: to tell the American people the truth heading into this election, 1481 01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 1: and we did more vetting, we did more analysis. We 1482 01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,640 Speaker 1: gave you who Donald Trump was I think in a 1483 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,320 Speaker 1: way that was fair and and we fulfilled our campaign 1484 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,680 Speaker 1: promise to give an equal shot to all the other candidates, 1485 01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,880 Speaker 1: and and that the American people decided. But you know 1486 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,600 Speaker 1: that there were people we didn't think about the consequences 1487 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,000 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump won or lost, and we just went 1488 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:51,960 Speaker 1: in for what we thought was right and what a 1489 01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,519 Speaker 1: disaster Hillary would be, and how bad the last eight 1490 01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 1: years was that nobody else was reporting. You know, it's 1491 01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 1: the same thing here. I mean, we're taking on the 1492 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:03,080 Speaker 1: keep state, We're taking on a hostile media that would 1493 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:07,479 Speaker 1: love nothing more than to say Hannity's gone, Hannity's fired, 1494 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 1: Hannity's boycotted, Hannity's in trouble, And but it doesn't stop 1495 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 1: us like it never has before. Or you know, the 1496 01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 1: idea that we're asking really hard, tough questions that you know, 1497 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:22,040 Speaker 1: they should be asking. The Democratic Party should be asking 1498 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 1: about Seth Rich and about why he was murdered and 1499 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,000 Speaker 1: why they keep telling us it's a robbery when nothing 1500 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,719 Speaker 1: was robbed. And you know what, why did Julian Hassan 1501 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 1: say what he said? And Dutch TV and and you know, 1502 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:39,479 Speaker 1: we're not stopping asking the questions and we're doing our job. 1503 01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,639 Speaker 1: The other thing, I really love the new fake news 1504 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:46,880 Speaker 1: monologue deal because one of the things that approves that 1505 01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 1: you've been saying for a long time is that journalism 1506 01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:53,559 Speaker 1: is dead. And it's so obvious. These people don't have 1507 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:58,679 Speaker 1: an original fun Somebody says something and the rest of them, 1508 01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 1: like you, you know, the mo anologue shows it perfectly. 1509 01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:05,840 Speaker 1: They just parrot each other. Well. Look, it's sort of 1510 01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:11,080 Speaker 1: like group think, and it's it's something that I've seen 1511 01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:14,800 Speaker 1: a lot in my career, and I, you know, I 1512 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:16,479 Speaker 1: like being my own person. You know, a lot of 1513 01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,640 Speaker 1: people say, Hannah, you're no journalist, not not a journalist 1514 01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,800 Speaker 1: in the traditional sense. No, But I a talk show 1515 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:28,280 Speaker 1: host comes under many umbrellas. We do news information, we 1516 01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:31,800 Speaker 1: make calls, we do investigation. We're journalists. We also have 1517 01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,320 Speaker 1: a point of view where the opinion page of a newspaper. 1518 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 1: But we're also you know, one day I may do 1519 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 1: a straight interview of somebody. Another day I may debate somebody. 1520 01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:42,040 Speaker 1: Another day I'm giving my commentary. Another day I'm interviewing 1521 01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 1: a straight interview of a presidential candidate like a journalist 1522 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,759 Speaker 1: and asking all the questions they would ask and probably 1523 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,280 Speaker 1: better ones than they could think of. So being a 1524 01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,599 Speaker 1: talk show host, that's sort of all all encompassing, it's 1525 01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:57,080 Speaker 1: under all that umbrella. So yeah, we're journalists. Then, by 1526 01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,720 Speaker 1: the way, just to tell law enforcement and everybody else 1527 01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,840 Speaker 1: where protected as a journalist too, UM advocacy journalist as 1528 01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:08,400 Speaker 1: a journalist. So anyway, listen, I appreciate. I'm not going anywhere. 1529 01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, look, if look, if people are gonna stop me, 1530 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:13,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to rip this microphone out of my hand. 1531 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,599 Speaker 1: I'll go kicking and screaming, and you could probably find 1532 01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,160 Speaker 1: me driving around somewhere. Maybe we've got a central location 1533 01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:21,080 Speaker 1: and we'll do the talk show in person. Maybe I 1534 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 1: get to you know, a bottle of wine and two 1535 01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:26,599 Speaker 1: Dixie cups. That's what we'll do. UM nine for one seawn. 1536 01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:28,560 Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program, 1537 01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:30,559 Speaker 1: but you know, let me give you our fake news 1538 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:35,040 Speaker 1: montage that we played earlier. From NBC News World Headquarters 1539 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 1: in New York.

Richard, how are you glad you called? 1550 01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Hi, Sean, you're doing 1551 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:48,120 Speaker 1: a great job. I'd like to talk about Philip Payney. 1552 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:52,799 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering why President Trump won't hold a joint 1553 01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 1: press conference with Mr Handy to get his story because 1554 01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,639 Speaker 1: CNN and NBC the Democrats are terrified that his story 1555 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 1: will get out there because if it's already gets out there, 1556 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,760 Speaker 1: the credibility of those news organizations are finished. Do you 1557 01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,719 Speaker 1: agree with that? Yes? And I don't agree And listen, 1558 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:10,240 Speaker 1: I think Philip Paine is a natural national treasure, a 1559 01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,240 Speaker 1: great guy. We're still in touch with him. He's a 1560 01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,639 Speaker 1: founding member the DHS. Remember he wrote the book See Something, 1561 01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:20,240 Speaker 1: Say Nothing. He's also a guy that we love on 1562 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,639 Speaker 1: this program. And he's also the guy that was ordered 1563 01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:26,479 Speaker 1: by Obama to literally scrap from the beginning of the 1564 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,639 Speaker 1: DHS all of the intelligence that they had gathered over 1565 01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:32,240 Speaker 1: the years leading up to two thousand and eight. It's 1566 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:35,240 Speaker 1: a it's a disgrace what they did. And apparently he's 1567 01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,479 Speaker 1: told me the Congress still has copies of all the 1568 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:38,960 Speaker 1: hard work that they did. In other words, and he 1569 01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 1: always talks about connecting the dots and that he had 1570 01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:44,839 Speaker 1: he been at the Department of Homeland Security, he believes 1571 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 1: he could have connected the dots before San Bernardino. Is 1572 01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 1: President Trump aware of the history of his report to 1573 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:57,559 Speaker 1: um let me I know more than I really want 1574 01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,360 Speaker 1: to tell. Is that fair? And it's not that I'm 1575 01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:03,519 Speaker 1: being ki or smartass or I'm just I'm not. I 1576 01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,160 Speaker 1: just there are people now that I think are beginning 1577 01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 1: to get to talk about him. I think there's there's 1578 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:14,519 Speaker 1: a lot more going on. I think, Look, this president, 1579 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,880 Speaker 1: he gotta remember, is very quick on his feet. He's 1580 01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:22,440 Speaker 1: quick to adjust his trajectory from private life entrepreneur, businessman 1581 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,599 Speaker 1: to politician. There's a lot of rough patches in there, 1582 01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:29,760 Speaker 1: but the growth trajectory was unlike any I've seen, and 1583 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm predicting it's going to be the same as being president. 1584 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:35,840 Speaker 1: He's he's gonna stumble, he's gonna hit a few roadblocks, 1585 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:38,040 Speaker 1: he's got a few learning curves there, but at the 1586 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:39,840 Speaker 1: end of the day, he's gonna get it. And I 1587 01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,519 Speaker 1: think we're on the road to getting it, both on 1588 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 1: the economy and on national security issues and on an 1589 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:49,879 Speaker 1: enemy that at least he has the courage to identify, 1590 01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:53,840 Speaker 1: which is radical Islamic terrorists. Anyway, Richard, thank you, you 1591 01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:56,160 Speaker 1: have a great weekend. God bless you.
