By the time we get 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.560 on the air two days from now, less than forty 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:20.080 eight hours, Barack Hussein Obama's presidency will be over. E's 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.480 in the process of holding his last press conference, and 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.600 we'll probably get to some of that in the course 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.640 of the show today. Alright, So, all week we've been 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.520 telling you about this ongoing sting operation by Project Veritas 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.920 and James O'Keefe, and then we had this article come 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.320 out by the Washington bureau chief of the Huffing and 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.280 Post guys. Actually not a bad guy, Ryan Grimm, He's 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.800 been on the program before. And Ryan Grimm counter sting 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:49.480 catches O'Keefe network attempting to soak chaos at Donald Trump's inauguration. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.600 The stinger gets stung. And the only problem is, and 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.480 I looked at the little bit of video that they 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.120 had put out there, on this It was not the 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.040 same operation, totally different, and perhaps it was conflated. I 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.240 don't know. We'll get to the bottom of it. Uh. 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.840 And we'll have a Hannity Classic shootout coming up in 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.800 the second hour of today's program a little less than 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.080 one hour from right now, and we hope you can 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.120 join us for that. We have the issue of Chelsea 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.400 Manning and the commutation by President Obama and why that 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.720 he did this. Uh No, I don't want a bit 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.960 of Obama live nobody. No, why do you do this 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.920 at the beginning of the show? You interrupt me? You 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.920 talk in my ear? How am I supposed to continue 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.840 my monologue? I put your microphone on. What do you want? 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.320 Wasn't interrupting you? My job is to alert you when 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.760 there's breaking news. Okay, I'm telling of you. Of the 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.960 fifty stations that are carrying this radio program right now, 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.760 not one of them wants to carry Obama's press conference. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.800 I did not say that anybody wants to dip into 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.120 the stupid press conference for thirty seconds, so I don't 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:51.400 lose my audience. Uh, Folks in other countries, so you know, 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.000 I use that as a metaphor. And if in fact, 0:02:55.120 --> 0:03:00.280 we continue to keep opportunity open everybody to stay age. 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.560 We had the farewell, we had the speech, we had 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.519 the Michelle's speech, we have the speech to speech to speech, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.320 and he can't tell the truth about how bad he 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.440 was anyway, goodbye. You know what's gonna happen to him. 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.600 I'll go into this. He is gonna get off the stage. 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.600 And this is my opening monologue on TV tonight. I 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.120 tried in so many different interviews with George W. Bush 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.799 to get him to take a shot back at Obama 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.680 because Obama, remember the early years of the Obama presidency, 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.040 bush Bush Bush Bush Bush Bush bush Bush bushsh fault. 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:32.880 And I do this whole thing on stage. If the 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.760 dog bites you, it's not the dog's fault. It's not 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.520 your fault ripping the bone out of the dog's mouth. 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.720 If you're a dopey liberal, it's George W. Bush's fault. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.280 You know, if you take a baseball bat and you 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.280 knock down a wasp nest, it's not the wasp fault. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:52.120 You get stung, It's it's not you know the fact that, uh, 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.800 you're too stupid to hire an exterminator, So that can't 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.760 be your fault and you expected a government extermination service, 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.120 or you're a liberal and you want everything for free. No, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:01.920 that would be George Bush's fault. Do you drink too 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.600 much Jack Daniels and you have a hangover the next day, 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.080 or Budwise or whatever the hell is you drink or wine, 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.680 or if you're Whino and you wake up the next 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.240 morning and you have a headache, it's it's not your fault. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.360 It's not Jack Daniel's fault. That's Bush's fault. Serious, if 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.880 you get pregnant, it's not your fault. That's probably Bill 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.520 Clinton's fault. Actually, I don't think I blame that sucker 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.440 on George Bush. Uh. It's ridiculous. And every time I'd 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:30.560 ask Bush, you'd have too much class, Obama's not. I'm 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.080 predicting he's not gonna have that much class. You gotta 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.839 understand something. This man is headed for the most difficult 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.320 time in his life. He is, and I know he's 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:43.839 gonna try and make it up and go out and 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.760 give speeches. It's never gonna be the same again. He's 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.039 not gonna have the same invite, he won't be the 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.520 president anymore. And what he's gonna have a hard time 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.159 dealing with is Donald Trump, who has said today that 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:03.320 he is gonna undo all the he's illegal, unconstitutional executive actions. 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.520 Because Obama didn't have the wherewithal or the political courage 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.800 to go out there as a coequal branch of government 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.360 working with the legislative branch to pass legislation the way 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.159 it should be passed. He just ruled through executive fiat 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.520 and executive orders, and he's come up and it's costing 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.120 US billions and billions and even trillions of dollars in 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.960 new regulations, etcetera. And Donald Trump is gonna sit there 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.400 for a few hours. He's either gonna do it on 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.640 Friday or I'll do it Monday. And he's gonna wipe 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.960 out sevent of everything Obama did. And Obama is gonna 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.760 know it, and it's he's not going to be able 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.080 to handle it. I predict he'll go into a deep depression. 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.280 I really do. I don't think he's gonna be able 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.719 to cope. And then when you when obama Care is 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:55.240 repealed and replaced his signature legislation, He's not gonna be 0:05:55.320 --> 0:06:00.760 able to handle that either. That's nine of It's almost 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.200 like he'll be the man that never was. Everything will 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.640 vanish in seconds, and he'll know it, and it will 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.359 drive him insane. It will, and he's not gonna be 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.640 able to shut up. He's not gonna go away and 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.560 show the same class that George W. Bush showed him 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.880 and the same respect that George W. Bush showed him. 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.559 And he's gonna be on the campaign trail constantly, because 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.840 that's the only thing he liked while being president anyway, 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:30.800 was the adoration so and the accouterments, if you will, 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.599 that accompany such a high position, like flying in Air 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.320 Force one to Hawaii and sending your wife on a 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.640 separate plane and lying on your own plane to where 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.960 did he go? Nantucket, whatever the island? He went to Martha's, 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.400 Matha's vineyard wherever he went. And then of course Michelle 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.400 following later in another plane. And we pay him for 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.880 the whole thing, paid a fortune for them to live 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.720 the high life. Now he's gonna get rich, he's gonna 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.560 go out and do speeches and make a lot of money, etcetera, etcetera. 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.280 But the truth is, it will be he's like the 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:06.120 President that never existed. It will be like the only 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.760 thing we have left is the doubling of our national debt, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.880 him accumulating more debt than every president before him combined, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.400 and the horrible judicial picks that have lifetime appointments. Beyond that, 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.800 there's nothing left. It'll all be wiped away because he 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:28.520 couldn't deal doing it the right way, the constitutionally prudent way. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.600 And he tried to govern and rule as a king 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.960 with executive fiat and executive orders. You know, too bad. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.080 He's not going to be back community organizing in his 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.040 hometown of Chicago, where four thousand people, mostly African Americans, 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.280 were killed during the course of his presidency, and maybe 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.320 get on the ground and try and stop the violence 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.440 in his home city of Chicago. He's not gonna do 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.240 anything like that. He cares so much. He's going to 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:57.800 Palm Springs. That's where he's going, Palm Springs, California, Little Rest. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.240 And we were west and we wax say we ought 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.840 to have a pool. How soon it's gonna be when 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.880 he leaves office? Until he begins the process of unloading 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.800 on Trump, we really should do a pool. I don't 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.440 know how do we do a pool like that? On 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.600 Hannity dot com? Can we do that? Could you figure 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.640 that out, Well, then we're gonna have more people. But 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.840 then people have to pay money. Then that's betting. The 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.720 only people that are allowed to have gambling operations is 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:29.600 the government. We could do a poll, that's yeah, not 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.640 as good as my idea. I mean, I participate with 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.280 the Christ and Tony football poll every football pool every year. No, 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:41.400 there is no money associated with it. Yeah there is. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.000 But you know, think about this, the government as a 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.600 monopoly on gambling and lotto and lottery and or if 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.040 you what if I wanted to compete in New York 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.600 and start my own Latto system and I'll say, okay, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.160 five percent will benefit the children and education, I'll do 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.520 it the same way the government does. If I set 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.480 that up, uh, that would be called illegal, and they'd 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.240 handcuffed me, perp walk me and mug shoot me and 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.559 send me to prison with Bubba and that's where I'd 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:14.120 spend the rest of my years. Probably It's ridiculous. So anyway, 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.840 so we have the Chelsea Manning issue also coming up. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.080 We'll probably delve into that in the course of the 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.079 program today. But anyway, so this conflict that was going on, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.240 we're gonna have James O'Keefe debating Ryan Grimm on this 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.719 whole thing. And but this is what we now know. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.679 We now know there are tapes of people that are 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.959 talking about this disrupt J twenty group. They're on tape 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:40.480 saying that they want to chain individual cars to trains 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:45.319 at every train location to shut down the DC Metro 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.280 service when no, they're on records saying they want to 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.600 shut down at least one bridge. They want to shut down. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:58.240 They have plans anarchists J twenty groups planning protests and 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.840 city nationwide on Friday, the DC ones will get the 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.080 most attention. And you know, then on top of it, 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.240 there's an audio tape of them saying, Oh, we want 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.120 to burn down people's houses and we're gonna go to 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.200 war with you, and we want to put acid puraric 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.719 acid in the h v A C ducks UH to 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.960 ruin the parties that people are going to and disrupt 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.199 the balls that people are going to. And it even 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.280 gets worse than that. You know, the group Anonymous is 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.680 out there. They've threatened that Donald Trump will regret the 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.200 next four years as president. They're urging their followers to 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.360 investigate his past for shady connections ahead of what's happening 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.080 on Friday, the group which declared quote total war on 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.439 Donald Trump ahead of the election last year and now 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.480 calling on supporters to look for any information they can 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.800 reveal about him. Uh. It then threatened you're going to 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.679 regret the next four years. Allegations aren't substantiated, and it's 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.440 not clear what the actions Anonymous followers will take, but 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.400 it certainly is a call to arms to do something 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.520 more than just complaining. These are the exact words. Go 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.240 get him. It's your duty as adults. We gave you 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.640 the resources, used them, said Anonymous on one of its 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.400 affiliated Twitter accounts. The threat came after Trump tweeted that 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:14.920 the outgoing c I chief John Brennan couldn't do much worse. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.400 Just look at Syria, the red line, crimea Ukraine in 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:22.479 the build up of Russian nukes. Not good anyway, Anonymous. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.280 This group is made good by the way on their 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.800 threats to Trump in the past. After declaring war on 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.800 President elect Trump back in March of a series of 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.880 leagues purported to be from Trump's phone were spread online. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:40.080 Dubbed Opera op White Rows, it called information included voicemails 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.520 and telephone numbers At the same time, on verified personal details, 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:47.320 including phone number and contact details of close aids, were 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.240 posted online. The group also brought down the Trump Tower 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.320 New York website after Trump for a brief period and 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.040 leak further personal voicemails and protests of his rhetoric towards Muslims. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.040 Controversial groups, including the Clan the Islamic State, have also 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.760 been victims of anonymous which, by the way, I can't 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.040 fault them for that. I hate those hate groups. So 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.960 but you know, John Kerry, he's not going. Sixty congressmen, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.840 they're not going to the inauguration. Chuck Schumer offering his 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:23.400 support for these people. I respect where inauguration boycotters are 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.000 coming from. They have so many irregularities. What is he 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:30.560 talking about? Washington Post? You know, think of the outrage 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.320 of this. Never Trump Republicans are whining they can't get 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.439 a job at the new Trump White House. Oh let 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.199 me just let me, let me hire you tomorrow. You 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.760 don't agree with anything that he stands for. What's the point? 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.200 You know? Ran Paul is also right by saying somebody 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.360 should go to jail for the Trump intel leaks. You 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.760 know what I retweeted today We had Martin Luther King 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.840 Junior Holiday on Monday, the FBI letter telling Martin Luther 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.400 King Jr. That they've got all this dirt on him 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.200 and his personal life and then they're gonna reveal it 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.480 and expose it. And they basically tell him to kill 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:11.319 himself to not have it exposed. So disgusting, But don't worry. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.680 That's you know, government of buying four of the people, 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.240 and the Intel community can't be wrong. Intel community, by 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.480 the way, James Clapper once had to admit the outright 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.319 lied to Congress. I can only imagine what would happen 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.880 if I lied to Congress anyway. Eight nine one, Shawn 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.559 Toffrey telephone number. You want to be a part of 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.200 the program. We got a lot of other news today, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.400 but you don't want to miss this second hour of 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.000 the program with James O'Keefe and Ryan Grimm, the Washington 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.920 bureau chief of the Huffing and Post. This is gonna 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.240 get interesting. So, like many of you, I used to 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.800 suffer from insomnia. No matter what I did, I just 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.440 couldn't get a perfect night sleep. Well, then I met 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.880 Mike Lindel, the inventor of my pillow. He got me 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.840 fitted from my very own my pillow, and it's changed 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.000 my life. I fall asleep faster, I stay asleep longer, 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.560 And now you can too. Just go to my pillow 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.880 dot com or call eight hundred four six seven ninth 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.240 teen sixty two used the promo coach Sean to take 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.360 advantage of Mike's two for one offer. Now, my pillow 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.440 was made right here in the USA, has a sixty 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.120 day unconditional money back guarantee, day tenure warranty, and by 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:13.719 the way, you can even wash it and dry it. 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.800 Just go to my pillow dot com or call eight 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.360 h four or six seven nineteen sixty two promo coach 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.560 Seawn to get Mike's special two for one offer. Alright 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.960 now till the top of the hour. I'm really glad 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.160 when I read this today that Justice Clarence Thomas will 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.680 become the first African American to administer the oath of office, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.080 and he'll be using Reagan's Bible. I was hoping this 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.400 would happen. I just secretly was hoping. I've met Clarence 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.520 Thomas on a couple of occasions. By the way, he 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:47.080 has one of those infectious, really great laughs that of 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.520 all time. I mean, very very warm, wonderful person. It 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.160 was very generous to me when I on the occasions 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:55.760 that I met him. My last song I think at 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.840 Rusha's wedding some years ago, and then it was I 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.360 spent a lot of time talking to him. Then I 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.800 really enjoyed my time with him, and I think he's 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.720 one of the great Supreme Court justices in our time. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.200 And anyway, Pence will be uh the first elected officials 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.680 to be sworn in on the Reagan Family Bible, since 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:18.280 the late president used it during his inaugurations, and from 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.000 what I hear, the Bible will be open to the 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.520 same passage that Reagan used during his inaugurations, which is 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:27.400 Chronicles seven fourteen, which is of My people which are 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.440 called by name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.320 my face, and turn from their wicked ways. Then I 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.840 will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:40.520 we'll hear heal their land. The presidents are sworn in 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.080 by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Vice presidents 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.400 have been sworn in in a variety of elected officials, 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:51.480 including Joe Biden sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Sonya 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.120 Soto Mayor. I think that's pretty cool. It's a great 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.520 honor for Justice Thomas, and one well deserved, as he's 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.920 been a victim of such unfair abuse over the years 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.080 by the left. Starting with his confirmation hearings, Trump is 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.960 going to order the State Department to focus on terrorism 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.520 instead of global warming, and he's going to tell them 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.280 to start using the word radical Islam. These people at 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.120 the State Department, but they're the same people that are 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.680 going through these stress management classes and how to learn 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.360 how to deal with change. If you can't deal with this, 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.920 you might as well get out of the way. Anyway, 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.160 Donald Trump is ratcheted up the State Department's role in 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.800 the war on terror, which, you know, you think, maybe 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.200 instead of giving a rip about what the U. N. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.360 Thinks and given a rip about what countries that hate 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.360 us think and coming up with ridiculous plans to give 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.440 the number one state sponsor of terror, you know, billions 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.440 of our tax dollars, maybe it's time for them to 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.760 focus on what their real job should be. Anyway, the 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.720 Trump team wants to restructure the State Department to focus 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.840 more heavily on counter terrorism. Well, that would reduce the 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.200 time and resources devoted to climate change. Why is the 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.520 State Department involved in climate change? You never what are 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.200 you gonna negotiate with China about their carbon emissions? Good 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.840 luck with that. We don't have any saying what they're 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:17.080 going to do, and anything they promises is meaningless anyway. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.199 And we're the only idiots that pay for all of 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:20.920 this in the end, because we're the only ones that 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.920 comply with the stupidity anyway. They talked to State Department 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:29.679 officials have been convinced the president Lex transition team that 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.199 the Department is underutilized, overshadowed by the Pentagon on the 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.399 White House National Security Council, which have typically taken the 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.600 lead on the counter terrorism front. How about all hands 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.000 on deck until we defeat Isis, al Qaeda and radical 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.280 Islamis around the world. And when you think about terrorism, 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.919 which we think about a lot today, poverty which is 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.400 linked obviously to the levels of terror that we see 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.320 in the world today. Uh, and of course proliferation of 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.280 weapons and mass destruction, all of these just turn off, 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.480 just turn it off. He's going to talk about claiming 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.159 don't go to the inauguration, John, I've voted for the 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.000 edge of a million before event against it. He's one 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:15.280 of these guys that considers himself the great intellectual. You know, 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:21.600 I meant many many journalist professors. They couldn't do this 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:26.080 show for a day if their life depended on it. 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.680 They couldn't do a TV show for a night if 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.960 their life depended on it. You know, there is something 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:37.040 that is underutilized in a lot of people's lives. Education 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.840 is great. Knowledge is awesome. If you can apply knowledge 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:45.520 to principles that you you support in your life, and 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:50.040 if you can apply the knowledge to the common sense 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:55.800 God gave you, there is intuitive, natural knowing. I have 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.600 found myself in situations in life and I'm not anti 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.439 until actual at all. As a matter of fact, I 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.600 love education. I study now more at this point in 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.879 my life than I have my entire life. And a 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.639 year's basis, I will read and study more than I 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.720 did in my entire college experience, which was three years. 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.280 You know, I will, I will. I will study more 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.639 in three months than I ever spend time studying in 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.480 high school. It's it's just the reality of the what 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:27.520 my life is. I literally read a book a day. 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.960 When you consider the pile that sweet baby James brings 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:32.840 me in the newspapers that I go through every day. 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.320 It is the equivalent of a book. I am the 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.359 fastest reader you'd ever meet, because I have to be, 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.320 because that's my job. But I have met people that 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.080 have all of this intellectual knowledge, very very bright people, 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.200 that they can't even figure out how to put gasoline 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.080 in their car. I'm serious. I know a kid that 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.280 went to Yale and couldn't figure out how to put 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.600 gas in his car. I I know kids. I know 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.200 people that are so aren't and when I tell them, 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:06.520 I'll give you an example. People that are even in 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:12.160 I know people that are so smart intellectually that when 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.119 I give them business ideas, they're like, they can't believe 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.320 that I thought of it. I'm like, that's common sense 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.879 to me. What are you missing here? And everybody's got 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.560 their own gifts. Don't misunderstand me. I love you know. 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:28.159 If I had time in my life, I'd love to 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.040 study to be a doctor. Now by time, I really would. 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:35.320 I'm fascinated with operations. If I had time in my life, 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.720 i'd become a lawyer too. If I had time in 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.000 my life, I would become I'd study all the time 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:43.399 I'd studied all the great philosophers I had. Once again, 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.240 I once in my life, when I didn't have a 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:46.760 TV for a number of years, I read all the 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:52.440 Harvard classics, Dante's Inferno and Pilgrim's Progress and all these 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.960 great books, and I studied them. I actually figured out, 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.959 you know, and that in what they meant. I'd go 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.040 deeper into what the meanings of these books were. You know, 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.760 read the Bible well, the New Testament. I haven't gotten 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.479 through the Old Testament just reading this stuff. And then 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:12.359 I mean, people that are so learned so many degrees, 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:16.960 that on basic simple tasks in life are so dumb. 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:19.800 I can't They don't even know how to buy a car. 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:22.879 They don't know a good deal on a on a house. 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:24.840 If it hit them over the head with a two 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.960 by four, they wouldn't know it. And I'm stunned by that. 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.600 So I think that you know, in life, once you 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:35.240 have a set of core principles, and once you have 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:40.639 a natural common sense that guides you in your day 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:44.520 to day decision making, then whatever knowledge you add to 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:50.520 that only makes you that much smarter and stronger. The 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.919 knowledge that comes in is applied to principles and applied 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.560 to common sense. And for common sense, it's not so 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:01.959 common anymore. It's so many people that are very smart 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:08.120
