1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Right as we predicted, these poles are headed south, and 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: they're headed south quickly. This is not working out well, 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: for they do nothing. Radical extreme socialist democrats in the swamp. 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: You know, have they done a thing? Ask yourself a question, 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: what have they done to help the American people, the 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: people they represent? For three years? What have they done 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: short of every second minute, hour of twenty four hour week, 8 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: twenty four hour a day, every seven day week, every month, 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: and every year, all they wanted to do? They have obsessively, 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: compulsively focused on hating Trump for the purpose of impeaching him, 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: which they said, Well, I gotta impeach the mffor do 12 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: you remember the night that what's her name was elected? 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: Carson went to leap and they have done nothing. You 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: know what, I'm just sitting back and I'm watching now, 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm reading, I'm getting doing a deep dive into these 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: poles today and again, I'm I'm a Trump polling skeptic. 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced Trump in any way polls like any 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: establishment politician, you know, I'll tell you notoriously controversial figures 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: don't pull well. Prime Minister Netanyahu's never pulled Well's viewed 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: as a divisive figure in Israel years ago. Jesse Helms 21 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: I think was underwater. John McLaughlin I think was part 22 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: of his polling way back in the day. That shows 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: how old he is. But he never pulled particularly well either, 24 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: and but he'd always win and win by a big margin. 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: And I don't think Trump is ever gonna pull well 26 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: ever or accurately. We saw that leading up to the election. 27 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: That was what we had. Rasmussen, McLoughlin, and Matt Towery 28 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: three posters. Tower he's claiming that at the time he 29 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: was retired. He's not. So it's there. There comes a 30 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: point you gotta ad with this election in twenty twenty 31 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: is gonna come down to a very simple but basic 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: fundamental politics. One O one. Are you better off than 33 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: you were four years ago? Well, I'd argue, by every measure, 34 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: we are the best employment situation in the countries since 35 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine. Every demographic group in the country is 36 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: doing dramatically better. The president has a list of accomplishments. 37 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start. And as I 38 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: go through some of this, ask yourself, what have the 39 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: Democrats done? What have they accomplished in the last three years? 40 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: With Donald Trump as president, I'd argue nothing except constantly 41 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: hating him. And you know, and look at how they 42 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: divide the country. We'll play it more detail later. You know, 43 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: you got the compromised, corrupt, congenital liar shift And I 44 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: keep saying the shift show. And he's a bullshiffer, if 45 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: you will. He's full of shift. There's a lot of 46 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: shift out there, shift matters. It's all sorts of stuff 47 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: in the world. So but in his own district, he's 48 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: doing a town hall. All of their rage and hate 49 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: towards Trump. Now the president has had to absorb these attacks. 50 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: It's pretty remarkable how much he takes on every day. 51 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: I know people in my industry, radio and TV, they 52 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: can't even take a little love tap of criticism. They 53 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: can't handle it. They bubble and fizz and melt down. 54 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: I've told you this before. I mean, whatever switch I 55 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: was supposed to have that cares about what people say 56 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: or think about me, it's gone. It doesn't exist in 57 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: me anymore. I have to live with myself. I know 58 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong, and I 59 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: follow the guides of conscience that Thomas Payne once wrote 60 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: of in seventeen seventy six, common sense, listen to your 61 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: own conscience, your own what's right in your own heart. 62 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: And by the way, he also said, there'd be no 63 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: need for any other lawgiver if we listen basically to 64 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: God in our hearts. But we're human. That not being 65 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: the case fallen beings, etc. We don't get there. But 66 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: this is the rancor they have brought to the country. 67 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: They have brought no policies, they have made no improvements. 68 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: They have resisted and obstructed everything the president's tried to do. 69 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: They have investigated to death this president. They have tried 70 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: to stimy and stifle and stop every single thing he's 71 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: tried to do, and he's been able to do it anyway. 72 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: And what have they brought to the country. Not a 73 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: single accomplishment that I can think of, unless you consider 74 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: it an accomplishment to impeach a president over nothing with 75 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, even one of the articles of impeachment just 76 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: blown out of the water last week when the Supreme 77 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: Court took on the case of whether or not when 78 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: there's a conflict with the executive and legislative branch and 79 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: one of the branches seeks remedy in the courts. Uh. Yeah, 80 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: they're going to decide on executive privilege and the White 81 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: House is going to win. But this is just it 82 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: was fascinating that it happened in chief's district, the congenital 83 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: liars district, because this is what he has brought to 84 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: the country, him and the rest of his party that 85 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: follow him and are as extreme as him. This is 86 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: what they have brought the country. I would argue, this 87 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: is their big accomplishment the last three years president. And 88 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why is is so important that 89 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: it was so partisan overwhelming, is that this shouldn't be 90 00:05:50,040 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: a partisan issue. They will not fire, fire, jail a lawyer, jail. 91 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: You're a lawyer, got a lawyer, jail. You are disgracing 92 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 1: the House of Reping you will be going to jail 93 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: for the reason reason you no, no, n n n 94 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: n n no. Alright, because it's probably giving you a 95 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: headache like it's given me an ache. I'll stop, but 96 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: we'll play more later. That's what they have given the 97 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: country now when they were in power, Biden Obama, I'm 98 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: giving those numbers out of me. Thirteen million more Americans 99 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,119 Speaker 1: on food stamps, eight million more in poverty, lowest labor 100 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: participation rate since the seventies, worst recovery since the forties. 101 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: We had the lowest homeownership rate in fifty one years. 102 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: What has Trump given us as a result of real accomplishments. Oh, 103 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: we've got the best employment situation since nineteen sixty nine. 104 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: In every demographic in the country is benefiting at record levels. Now, 105 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: he made a promise he wants constitutionalist originalists on the 106 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Check he made a promise the biggest tax 107 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: cuts in history. Check. He made a promise ending burdens bureaucracy. 108 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: We've gotten rid of more bureaucracy than we'd likely have 109 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: in the last one hundred years. Check energy independence. For 110 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: the first time in seventy five years, we are a 111 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: net exporter of energy. What are the results of this 112 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: stock market high after high after high wages him post 113 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: recession high. We have near record low, well, actually record 114 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: low unemployment best is in sixty nine. We have a 115 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: record number of Americans employed, millions of new jobs created, 116 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: including in industries. Obama said that those jobs never coming back. 117 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: They came back once you got rid of the burdensome 118 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: regulation and high taxation. And you know, if the president 119 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: has put us on a trajectory where even now all 120 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: of those that were predicting a recession is coming, is coming, 121 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: is coming, and I hope it comes. Bill mar saying 122 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: that even they're recognizing, you know what, Nah, turn the 123 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: ship around. It doesn't look like was any recession in 124 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: the near future. You know, here's a guy that you know, 125 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: said he wants freer and fairer trade deals, but you're 126 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: gonna make them mad. Well they might have gotten mad, 127 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: but they still gave us a better deal because he 128 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: demanded it and he negotiated it, and NATO's paying their 129 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: fair share. And yeah, he doesn't want long protracted wars. 130 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: But he did beat the Caliphate in Syria. He didn't 131 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: just draw a red line in the sand, and he 132 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: beat Baghdadian company. They're dead. And yeah, they didn't want 133 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: to give him the money for the border wall, but 134 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: he found a way to do it. I told you 135 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: he's going to find another way. He's gone to Plan 136 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: B and now the money is now allocated, the wall 137 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: is being built and it's underway as we speak. We 138 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: have millions off of food stamps, seven to be exact, 139 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: seven million new jobs created. You add to all of this. 140 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: You know what the President has been able to do 141 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: for veterans and helping the VAU the US MCA trade deal, 142 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: getting rid of the the employee the mandate in Obamacare 143 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: individual mandate, all of these things are result really putting time, money, 144 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: and energy behind ending the opioid epidemic in the country. 145 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: I mean, women's unemployment is a sixty five year low. 146 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: How many records have we had for African Americans and 147 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans. Thank God, we're helping people now develop opportunities 148 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: for themselves and their families for a long, happier, more 149 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: successful life. What are the Democrats done? Can you answer that? 150 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: And the answer is no, because this is all they've done. Now, 151 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell I know the mob and the meat. They 152 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: can't stand it because he's just speaking the truth. He 153 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: is now hinted that on the Senate floor today that 154 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: Senate's kind of dismissed these pending ridiculous articles of impeachment. 155 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: It will be anti climatic, just like you know tomorrow 156 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: when they would take the final vote impeached. You know, 157 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,359 Speaker 1: fake news CNN and MSDNC state run fake news television, 158 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: both of them, they'll be giddy. They'll be happy. They 159 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: will think they accomplished something. They've accomplished nothing, because he's 160 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. And you're ninety four trillion dollars New 161 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: Green Deal where everything's free, and we have no oil 162 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: or gas or coal and no internal combustion engine and 163 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: eventually no planes or cows. That's not gonna go over 164 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: because it's a mathematical law. The numbers you're throwing out 165 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: is impossible, just like the same thing with Medicare for all. Anyway, 166 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: McConnell dismissed the suggestion out of hand, but Schumer because 167 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: he said, well, the House impeaches, they vote for impeachment, 168 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: and we have the trial here, and the time for 169 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: witnesses as it relates to articles of impeachment has come 170 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: and gone. And the very position that Chucky Schumer had 171 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: when he was a senator in New York and it 172 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: was the Clinton impeachment. And then McConnell rightly accused Schumer 173 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: of going straight to the news media. I think he 174 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: actually leaked to the news media. First, we don't create 175 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: impeachment here, we judge them. Okay, it's not the time 176 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: now to argue over We've already had auditions, that we 177 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: had public hearings, and we had the from on high 178 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: Ivory Tower professors. And as a little anecdotal information, the 179 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: RNC now has gotten six hundred thousand new donors since 180 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: the start of the impeachment. They have a lot more 181 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: money and their coffers than do the Democrats. I see 182 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: Maxim Waters has now brought forward a new Trump Putin 183 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory, appearing on fake news. See and I've done 184 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: some research. I know about his alignment with Putin, I 185 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: know about Manaphort, what his relationship was, and the fact 186 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: that he had been sent there by Putin in essence 187 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: to head up the president's campaign. Because I believe, even 188 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: though I don't have the facts to prove it. Okay, 189 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: let me read that again, even though I don't have 190 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: the facts to prove it, I believe that's sort of 191 00:12:54,520 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: like that, this is a crime. What's Natler's phrase, The 192 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: crime is ongoing. The crime is this is against American Democrats. Well, 193 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: if if the crime is in progress, stop it, because 194 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: we don't see it. We're looking at the president doesn't 195 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: seem to be committing a crime. So think of the 196 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: logic of it. So now ask yourself all right, So 197 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: the president is done in three years that which Biden 198 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: Obama couldn't do an eight. You know, they add thirteen 199 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: million Americans to food stamps. Trump policies get seven million 200 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: off of food stamps. They we have the best employment 201 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: situation since nineteen sixty nine. They have the lowest labor 202 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: participation rate since the seventies. You go through the list, 203 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: so you see the differences. Even in the midst of 204 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: this madness. The President, Yeah, he engages, he fights. He 205 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: sent out a letter to Nancy Pelosi today. I'll tell 206 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: you what's in it, because he's right. But in the meantime, 207 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: every other part of his agenda's out there working on 208 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: and they just continue their impeachment psychosis. And I'm telling 209 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: you it is if the president is able to maintain, 210 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: if I'm right that he's not losing any of the 211 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: people that supported him in twenty sixteen, I don't think 212 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: he will. This thing in Michigan, this focus group I 213 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: told you about yesterday's big because people that voted in 214 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, they voted for Obama then Trump, they're all 215 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: supporting Trump in twenty twenty and they they're sick and 216 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: tired of what the Democrats are doing. So you gotta 217 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: let them, you gotta let it play out and let 218 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: them hurt themselves. But the polls now show that it 219 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: is a free fall for the Democrats. It just took 220 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: a little longer than I thought it would. And then 221 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to come back in the new year. 222 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: Then they're actually gonna run the trial. It's not gonna 223 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: last long in the Senate. Then their candidates, when you 224 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: start digging deep into what their views are and what 225 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: they're planning to do to the country, doesn't take You 226 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: don't need an abbaicus, you don't need a calculator to 227 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: add up ninet four trillion in the New Green Deal 228 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: in ten years. It will destroy this country. And it 229 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: is not even mathematically possible. The fifty two trillion in 230 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: ten years for medicare for all with no private option, 231 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: the math is not there. You can't You don't even 232 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: take in the money to pay for that in ten years, 233 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: never mind all the other functions of government that matter. 234 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: So it's all one big psychotic. Maybe this makes them 235 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: feel relevant and good, but they're not serving the people. 236 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: And if the president holds his people and those that 237 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: have benefited the most for his policies that didn't vote 238 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: for him, come over to his side landslide, and you 239 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: see eight new polls with African Americans supporting Trump. Now 240 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: the conduct is not conducted the perspective American people, the 241 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: clock in the calendar, no masters except themselves. You see, 242 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: our committee held his first hearing on December fourth, literally 243 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: the day after Shift publically released his report. In the 244 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: first minutes of the hearing, mister Censonbrunner furnished a chairman 245 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: with our demand from a minority day of hearings. The 246 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: chairman also set a deadline of December six for Republicans 247 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: and the President to request additional witnesses, but it wasn't 248 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: until Saturday. The day after the deadline, the Chairman chief 249 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: transmitted eight thousand pages of material to the Judiciary Committee. 250 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: And we still haven't gotten everything. Not that it matters 251 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: to the majority. For institutional inst this should bother you. 252 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: You can still go ahead and vote here yes tomorrow 253 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: and vote for yesterday and do that, but it should 254 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: matter for this institution that while I was in Georgia, 255 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: I received a call from my staff saying they've just 256 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: released eight thousand documents. Some drives, some of which were 257 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: going to be kept in a secure holding. And when 258 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: I asked the chairman about these documents where they gonna 259 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: be use, he said, well, we're not gonna read them either. 260 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: We're not gonna have a chance to go through them. 261 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: We're just gonna go ahead with what we're doing. That 262 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: was from my chairman, who I respect greatly. We've done 263 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: a lot of things together, but it has been very 264 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: difficult when in a hearing of this magnitude, How can 265 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: anyone Republican or Democrat actually go back and look at 266 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 1: their constituents in the face and say, we looked at 267 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: all the evidence. I looked at everything, and I came 268 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: to this inclusion. No, we cherry picked the evidence and 269 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: we only use what we wanted to do because that material, 270 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: which by the way, is still not all been released. 271 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: There's the Inspector General ig report that is still transplant 272 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: has not been released. Now, whether it's good or bad 273 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: is irrelevant. But when you're talking about impeaching a president, 274 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't the underlying evidence sent to Judiciary Committee actually matter? Again, 275 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 1: it doesn't take constitutional experts coming in and tell us 276 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: about it. It takes common sense to know that you 277 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: don't impeach somebody without a lease making all the evidence proper. 278 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: But you know, that's what happens when you're to the 279 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: tyranny of a clock and a calendar. When you're the 280 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: tyranny of a clock in a calendar and nothing else matters. 281 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: We've seen evidence of the President decided to withhold from 282 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: Ukraine important official acts, the White House visit military aid 283 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: in order to pressure to announce investigations of Vice President 284 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: Biden and the twenty sixteen elections. Why does that constitute 285 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: an impeachable offense? So well, mister Raskin. On August eighth, 286 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: Chairman Nadler stated, with respect to the Judiciary Committees hearing 287 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: regarding the Mulla Report, that, quote, this is a formal 288 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: impeachment proceedings, but the House unquote but the House did 289 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: not actually authorize impeachment proceedings until the adoption of h 290 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: Res six six zero in October thirty first. So I 291 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: believe it's important to clarify for the record when formal 292 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: impeachment proceedings actually started. A Chairman Nadler correct when he 293 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: said that they started on August eighth, or did they 294 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: begin when the House authorized them on October thirty. First, 295 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: forgive me, missquid, was not actually prepared to answer that question, 296 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: all right. That was, you know, the sights and sounds 297 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: of the madness that has known as impeachment. The President 298 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: now has weighed in two in a letter to the 299 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: Speaker in name only Nancy Pelosi, and this impeachment represents 300 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power by democratic lawmakers, 301 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: which I agree with. They've abused their power. What they've 302 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: done here is this is a purely political This is 303 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: a political power play and what has been a never 304 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: ending ongoing saga to try and undo an election, the 305 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: will of the people. Smelly Walmart choppers like me and you, 306 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: clinging to our God, our constitution, our Bible's religion, irredeemable deplorables. 307 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: What they really think of us, we the people. He 308 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: further goes on, this is unequaled in nearly two and 309 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: a half centuries of American legislative history, and the articles 310 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: of impeachment introduced by the House Judiciary Committee are not 311 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: recognizable under any standard of constitutional theory, interpretation, or jurisprudence. 312 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: The President goes on by proceeding with your invalid impeachment 313 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: you're violating your oaths of office, you're breaking your allegiance 314 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: to the Constitution, and you're declaring open war on American democracy. 315 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: They've actually done this. They have now tried everything they 316 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: can do to undo the election. Now we do have 317 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: an election coming up again, as one's in three and 318 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: twenty two days, but they can't wait. He goes on 319 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: by saying that you dare invoked the founding Fathers in 320 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: pursuit of this election nullification scheme. Yet your spiteful actions 321 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: display unfettered contempt for America's founding, and your egregious conduct 322 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: threatens to destroy that which our founders pledged their very 323 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: lives to build. Any member of Congress who votes in 324 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: support of impeachment, against every shred of truth, fact, evidence, 325 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: legal principle, is showing how deeply they revile the voters 326 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: and how truly they detest America's constitutional order. Our founders 327 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: feared the tribalization of partisan politics, and you are bringing 328 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: their worst fears to life. He goes on, This is 329 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: nothing more than in a legal, partisan attempted coup that will, 330 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: based on recent sentiment, badly fail in the voting booth. 331 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: You are the ones that are interfering in America's elections. 332 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: You're the ones subverting America's democracy. You're the ones obstructing justice. 333 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: You're the ones bringing pain and suffering to our republic 334 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: for your own selfish, personal, political and partisan gain. It 335 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: says everyone you included, now they spent three years doing this, 336 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: knows what's really happening. Your chosen candidate lost the election 337 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen in an electoral college landslide three oh 338 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: six to twenty seven, and you and your party have 339 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: never recovered from that defeat. You've developed a full fledged 340 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: case of what many in the media called Trump derangement syndrome, 341 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: and sadly you'll never get over it. You're unwilling and 342 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: unable to accept the verdict issued to the ballot box 343 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: during the Great Election of twenty sixteen. So you have 344 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: spent three straight years attempting to overturn the will of 345 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: the American people and nullify their votes. You viewed democracy 346 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: as your enemy. As you very well know, this impeachment 347 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: drive has nothing to do with Ukraine or the totally 348 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: appropriate conversation I had with its new president. It only 349 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: has to do with your attempt to undo the election 350 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen and steal the election of twenty twenty. 351 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: And the President goes on this, there's far too much 352 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: that needs to be done to improve the lives of 353 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: our citizens. And he goes on and says, it is 354 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: time for you and the highly partisan Democrats in Congress 355 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: to immediately cease this impeachment fantasy and get back to 356 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: work for the American people. Your first claim abuse of 357 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: power is a completely disingenuous, meritless, and baseless invention of 358 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: your imagination, which we've discussed at length here. It goes on. 359 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Every time I talk with a foreign leader, I put 360 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: America's interest first, just as I did with President Zelinsky. Rightly, 361 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: that's what he's doing. Hang on, this just broke good thing. 362 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: I have so many good people in this audience that 363 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: are feeding me stuff. I got like this influx of 364 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: information overload because I got oh, three TVs five computers 365 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: in front of me, four million papers. They're all disorganized 366 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: that I try to find them as we go along here. 367 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: Apparently the fisichord is now weighed in. I guess on 368 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: the Inspector General report. I've been dying to hear from them. 369 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: But the longest period of time. It must be long 370 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: because it's taken a long time loading as it's been 371 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: texted over to me. But I'm dying to know what's 372 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: in this thing, and hopefully I'll be able to pull 373 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: it up here. Let me see if Linda's phone brings 374 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: it up faster than my phone. All right, I'm sending 375 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: it to you, Linda, all right, Boston. If it goes through, 376 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: let's see. Oh got it. I don't need yours. All right, 377 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: here we go. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court WOOF is interesting 378 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: accuracy concerns regarding FBI matters submitted to the FISA. Court says, 379 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: this order responds to reports that personnel of the FBI 380 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: am reading this as I see it, provided false information 381 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: to the National Security Division of the Department of Justice 382 00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: and withheld material information from the National Secure Division which 383 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: was detrimental to the FBI's case in connection with four 384 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: FISA applications to the FISA Intelligence Surveillance Court FISK for 385 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: short for Authority to conduct electronic surveillance of a US 386 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: citizen named Carter W. Page. When FBI personnel misled the 387 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: National Security Division NSD moving forward in the ways described above, 388 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: they equally misled the FISA Court Boom, listen to this 389 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: in order to appreciate the seriousness of that misconduct and 390 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: its implications. It is useful to understand certain procedural and 391 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: substitutive requirements that applied to the government's conduct of electronic 392 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes. Title one of the Foreign 393 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: Intelligence Services Act Codified, amended, etc. Etc. Gives you the 394 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: exact area governs the FISA court approving a proposed electronic surveillance. 395 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: When deciding whether to grant such an application, a fisichort 396 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: judge must determine, among other things, whether it provides what 397 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: is probable cause to believe that the proposed surveillance target 398 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power. 399 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: Now those terms are defined by FISA. Then again gives 400 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: you the location of the statute. Finding of probable cause 401 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: to believe that the US citizen other United States person 402 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: as defined in Section eighteen o three one is an 403 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: agent of a foreign power cannot be solely based on 404 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: activities protected by the First Amendment. This is stinging, I'm 405 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: telling you right now. And then it says it goes 406 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: onto there. However, the Fives Court, the government reported a 407 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: FIS a court. Now they're putting footnotes in there. Let 408 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: me continue. An electronic surveillance application must be made by 409 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: a federal officer in writing upon oath or affirmation. When 410 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: it is the FBI that seeks to conduct the surveillance. 411 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 1: The federal officer who makes the application as an FBI 412 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: agent who swears to the facts in the application. The 413 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: Faizachord judge makes the required probable cause determination quote on 414 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: the basis of the facts admitted by the applicant, and 415 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: cites certain areas of the law. The judge may require 416 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: the applicant to furnish such other information as may be 417 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: necessary to make the determinations required by the section. Those 418 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: statutory provisions reflect that the reality that, in the first instance, 419 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: it is the applicant agency that possesses information relevant to 420 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: the probable cause determination, as well as the means to 421 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: potentially acquire additional information. Notwithstanding that the FISA court assesses 422 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: probable cause based on information provided by the applicant, Congress 423 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: intended that the pre surveillance judicial warrant under FISA. This 424 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: is getting very very interesting to me. Hang on a second. 425 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: Let me I'm pulling it up on a hard, hard 426 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: piece here Okay, notwithstanding the Physo Coort, probable cause based determination, etc. 427 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: The FISA Court's assessment of probable cause can serve those 428 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: purposes effectively only if the application agency fully and accurately 429 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: provides information in its possession that is material to whether 430 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: possible or probable cause exists. Accordingly, the Government has a 431 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:52,719 Speaker 1: heightened duty of candor to the FISA Court expartee proceedings, 432 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: that is, ones in which the Government does not face 433 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: an adverse party, such as proceedings on electronic surveillance applications. 434 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: The PIZO Court expects the Government to comply with its 435 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: heightened duty of candor and the proceedings at all times. 436 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: Candor is fundamental to this Court's effective operation. With that background, 437 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: the Court turns to how the government handled the four 438 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: applications it's admitted to conduct electronic surveillance on mister page. 439 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: The FISA Court entertained those applications in October of twenty sixteen, January, 440 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: April and June of twenty seventeen. On December nine, nineteen, 441 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: the government filed with the FISA Court public and classified 442 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: versions of the OIG report. By the way, that would 443 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: be this week. The OIG report describes in detail the 444 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: preparation of the four applications for electronic surveillance against mister Page. 445 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: It's document. It documents troubling instances in which the FBI 446 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,959 Speaker 1: personnel provided information to the NSD which was unsupported or 447 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: contradicted by information in their possession. It also described several 448 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: instances in which the FBI personnel withheld NSD information in 449 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: their possession which was detrimental to their case for believing 450 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: that mister Page was acting as an agent of a 451 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: foreign power. In addition, while the fourth electronic surveillance application 452 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: for mister Page was being prepared, while an attorney in 453 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: the FBI's Office General Council engaged in conduct that apparently 454 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: was intended to mislead the FBI agent who ultimately swore 455 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: to the facts and that application about whether mister Page 456 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: had been a source of another government agency. That's when 457 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: they altered the CIA's description of the work of Carter Page. 458 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: The information about the OGC's attorney's conduct in the OIG 459 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,959 Speaker 1: report is consistent with classified submissions made to the FISA 460 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: Court by the government in October twenty fifth, twenty nineteen 461 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: November twenty seven, twenty nineteen. Because of the conduct of 462 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: the OCG attorney gave rise to serious concerns about the 463 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: accuracy completeness of the information provided to the fives A 464 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: court in any matter in which the attorney was involved 465 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: the OGC attorney. The court ordered the Department on December fifth, 466 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, to, among other things, provide certain information addressing 467 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: these concerns. All right, there's only about four more paragraphs left, 468 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: but I don't have time here. But the good news 469 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: is I'll finish it. On the other side, this is 470 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: what we've been waiting for, the courts saying you lied 471 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: to us and you have a heightened responsibility when seeking 472 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: these warrants. In particular Tick Talk, Jim Comey and others. 473 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: The way we operate in the Department of Justice. If 474 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: we're going to accuse somebody of wrongdoing, we have to 475 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: have admissible evidence, incredible witnesses, we need to prepare to 476 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: prove our case in court, and we have to fix 477 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: our signature to the charging document. That's something that not 478 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: everybody appreciates. There's a lot of talk about five applications, 479 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: and many people that I see talking about it seem 480 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: not to recognize what a FIES applicat FIES application is 481 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: actually a warrant, just like a search warrant. In order 482 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: to get a FISA search warrant, you need an affidavit 483 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: signed by a career federal law enforcement officer who swears 484 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: that the information in the affidavit it is true and 485 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: correct to the best of his knowledge and belief. And 486 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: that's the way we operate. And if it's wrong sometimes 487 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: it is. If you find out there's anything incorrect in there, 488 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: that person is going to face consequences. Did you have 489 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: total confidence in the job and you used it to 490 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: secure surveillance warrant and also in the subsequent nose total 491 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: confidence that the Fizer process was followed and that the 492 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by 493 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: DJ and the FBI. I think the notion that Fiser 494 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: was abused here is nonsense. The thought that the FIES 495 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: abuses fibuse nonsense. Well, that's not what the Inspector General found. 496 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: It's clearly not what the Attorney General thinks. It is 497 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: not what Prosecutor Durham believes, obviously, and this just literally 498 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: broke moments ago. We have put it up on Hannity 499 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: dot com. I've been reading it the United States Foreign 500 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: Intelligence Surveillance Court accuracy concerns. Now, I had four paragraphs 501 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: I haven't read, and then we're going to get John 502 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: Solomon's view on this. It goes on to say the 503 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: FBI's handling of the Carter Page applications as portrayed in 504 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 1: the Office of Inspector General report was antithetical to the 505 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: heightened duty of candor described above. They kept saying, you 506 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: have a much greater bar and responsibility here the frequency 507 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: with which representations made by FBI personnel hut Jim Comey 508 00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in 509 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: their possession. So let me go through the frequency with 510 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: which representations made by the FBI personnel turned out to 511 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: be unsupported, meaning false or contradicted by information that they 512 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: had in their possession, Oh, exculpatory information, and with which 513 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: they withheld information detrimental to their case. Oh yeah, we 514 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: don't want you to see the real stuff. Then you're 515 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: not going to give us what we want. It goes 516 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: on to say, because this is I think devastating detrimental 517 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: in their case, calls into question whether information contained in 518 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: other FBI applications is reliable the FISA Court expects the 519 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: government to provide complete, accurate information in every filing with 520 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: the Court. Without it, the FISA Court cannot properly ensure 521 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: that the government conducts electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes 522 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: only when there is a sufficient factual basis. Therefore, the 523 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: Court orders that the government shall know later than January ten, 524 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, inform the Court in a sworn written submission 525 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 1: of what is done, what it has done, and plans 526 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: to do to ensure that these statements of facts in 527 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: each FBI application accurately and completely reflects information possessed by 528 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: the FBI that is material to any issue presented by 529 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: the application. In the event that the FBI at the 530 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: time of that submission is not yet able to perform 531 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: any of the planned steps described in the submission, it 532 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: shall include a proposed timetable for implementing such measures and 533 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: be an explanation of why, in the government's view, the 534 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: information in FBI application submitted in the terms should be 535 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: regarded as reliable. Wow It is further ordered, pursuing the 536 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: FIS a Court rule of Procedure sixty two A that 537 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 1: the government shall no later than December twentieth, twenty nineteen 538 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: complete a declassification review of the above referenced order of 539 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: December five, twenty nineteen, in anticipation of the five Fyser 540 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: Courts publishing that order WOW. In view of the information 541 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: released to the public and the OIG report, the Court 542 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: expects that such review will entail minimal, if any, redactions. 543 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: That is, one pissed off court. What did I say? 544 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: How many times have I said it? You never lie 545 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: to a judge. I'd never lie to Judge Judy. You 546 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: know you're less than candid the judge Judy. She scares me, 547 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: actually met her. She's a she's tough as now she's 548 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: she don't mess with her. John Solomon, we have on 549 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: for other reasons as well. We're reading this and pretty 550 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: much real time here. Your reaction, well, listen, honestly, it's 551 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: awful eight and kind of little for the court to 552 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: react now, because two years there was overwhelming evidence in 553 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: the court of public opinion thanks to your show and 554 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: my reporting and all the other great people who worked 555 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: on this Greg Jared. But it is nonetheless a stinging, 556 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 1: stinging rebuke of the FBI and every one of those 557 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: officials who went out there in the last two three 558 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: years and denied there was anything wrong. Rod Rosenstein, James Coomy, 559 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,479 Speaker 1: Andy McCabe, James Baker, and my favorite Adam Schiff. All 560 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: of those people knew that there were a serious problem 561 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: and they stuck their head in the sand and hoped 562 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: it would go away. And only now because of the 563 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: Horowitz Report and the court order do we know for 564 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: sure that the FBI engaged in such sweeping misconduct that 565 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: the Court wonders whether any of the fights it's been 566 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: getting our accurate. I mean, that's what the ruling says today, 567 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: we doubt all the accuracy. Well, it's a crime to 568 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: commit a premeditated fraud on a court now, which we 569 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,760 Speaker 1: again another piece of the puzzle that we've been stating 570 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: over and over again that the mob and the media 571 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: never covered. But I will say this, I'm wondering. See, 572 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: I think the court's been following this closely. I think 573 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: they've known now for a while they've been lied to 574 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: or suspected very much that they've been lied to and 575 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 1: a fraud was perpetrated on the court. Now I think 576 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,359 Speaker 1: the Court, because of the Inspector General's report, now has 577 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: the means to come in and demand this be rectified. 578 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: It sure does. And you know they talk about this 579 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: December fifth filing that's under sealed right now. I suspect, 580 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: as I've been saying on your show for last week 581 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: or so, that the Attorney General Barr or the Justice 582 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: Department has gone in and withdrawn or taking some very 583 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: drastic action to tell the court how bad these vices 584 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: were beyond what the IG did. And when we get 585 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: to see that court ordered to classified, we're going to 586 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: get even more a sense of just how much willful 587 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: misconduct occurred here. And you know this is a serious 588 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: time for the court. You've got Lindsay Graham talking about 589 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: I might not allow the Court to be renewed because 590 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it did its job. Here. You've got, 591 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, a very important national security function with vices. 592 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: If they're done right, they protect our country. If they're 593 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: done wrong, they trampled on liberties. And I think the 594 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: next three or four months are going to be critical 595 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: for the country and its leaders to get this fixed 596 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: in right so that we don't lose a valuable national 597 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:30,720 Speaker 1: security tool. When you have Devin Nowness and Lindsay Graham 598 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: saying that we might have to get rid of the 599 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: FISA court. That's not good for our safety and security 600 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: as Americans. That then compromises us in a very ugly 601 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: dangerous world, and the likes ofcom signing it when it 602 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: was unverifiable and they had numerous warnings. All right, I 603 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: want to change gears here. I've read your report today 604 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: Latvia government, and you sent me over. I guess what 605 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: are the original documents about? This says it flags suspicious 606 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: Biden payments in twenty sixteen. First, I want you to 607 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: explain something. I don't you hear Joe bragging about you're 608 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: not getting the billion these leveraging a billion tax dollars? 609 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: Then we got zero experience, hunter, you're not getting the 610 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: billion fire the prosecutor Joe knew was investigating us, all right? 611 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: To me, that was slam dunk, end of case. Right, 612 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: Everything that I see involving this country seems corrupt. Why 613 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: is that? Well, you know, there are these former Soviet 614 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: republics where corruption has run amuck in what we call 615 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 1: the oligarch system, where a few people got rich and 616 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: they kind of are the puppet masters for the country. 617 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: And one of those puppet masters in Ukraine was a 618 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: guy named Zilchevski, the owner of Barisma, who hired Hunter 619 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: Biden assumably to keep these sort of investigations away from 620 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: so he wouldn't be detected for the sort of misconduct 621 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: that has now been alleged. But here is what we 622 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,479 Speaker 1: now know the most important development in today's story. Joe 623 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: Biden has been telling us for the last few months, history, 624 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: each changing right. First he'd ever talked to Hunter, then 625 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: Hunter City, I talked to my dad about it, and 626 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: I didn't really know they were under investigation, and then 627 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: we showed that he did know he's under investigation. But 628 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: the thing they've been hanging their hat on the last 629 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: few weeks is at the time I fired the prosecutor, 630 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: no big deal because the case against my son's company 631 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,959 Speaker 1: was dormant. That is bunk. There was enormous activity going 632 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: on in December, January and February of twenty sixteen, right 633 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 1: as the election was starting. And this is the new one. 634 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 1: The new one is the Latvian government. A Soviet Republic 635 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: neighbor of Ukraine said, hey, we see these transactions the 636 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. They don't look right. We think you should 637 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: investigate him. They might be money laundering. Or evidence of 638 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: money laundering, and they send that to the Ukrainian government 639 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: one month for Joe Biden intervenes and fires the prosecutor 640 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,399 Speaker 1: overseeing this case. Joe Biden's story that nothing was going 641 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: on in the case is demonstrably disproven by this document 642 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 1: and several other things that you and I have talked 643 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,280 Speaker 1: about in your show the last few weeks. Now, Hunter 644 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: claims that they never got a penny from China. Lawyer 645 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: did say something to the effect of, I'm not mistaken that, 646 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 1: Oh he just hasn't cashed in his shares, isn't that true? Yeah, well, 647 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 1: I mean that there is. That's right. There is some 648 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: ambiguity about what happened in China. There's very little ambiguity 649 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: about what happened in Ukraine. So how much money are 650 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: we talking about here that you're again, this is your reporting, 651 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 1: you're talking to I guess to these sources, Yeah, how 652 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: do you do any of them have an agenda? Well? 653 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: Everyone has an agenda, right, and in Ukraine. I say that, 654 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: I've said that in all my columns. Listen, it's tough, 655 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: it's tough to navigate this, right, But what we know 656 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: is the Latvian government says on the record, the Ukrainian 657 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: government's released the document. There is no doubt a concern 658 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: was raised in February twenty sixteen about the money being 659 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: paid to Hunter Biden. That's contrary to anything Joe Biden 660 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: has been saying. There were no red flags, there's nothing 661 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: to be worried about. That's not true. Now we need 662 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: a real investigation to get to the bottom of this. 663 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: And here's what we do know. In March of this year, 664 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: three years after this Latvian memo was sent, the Ukrainian 665 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: prosecutors reopened the case in Ukraine. And they did so 666 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: because they got access to new financial records. And they 667 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,839 Speaker 1: have said publicly at a news conference just a month 668 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 1: ago that they are looking at money laundering, the very 669 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: allegation that was in this Latvian document, and they've expanded 670 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: it to look at also things like the theft of 671 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:20,760 Speaker 1: state or government funds. There's a very active investigation in Ukraine. 672 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: We should wait and see how the new president, the 673 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: new prosecutor deal with that, but I do suspect we're 674 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: going to get some clarity in the next four to 675 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: six months from Ukraine about what they think really went 676 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: on with Hunter Biden, Barisma and the owner mister Zolchvsky. 677 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: What is all this stuff? I have not been following 678 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,399 Speaker 1: it at all, except that I see that Rudy has 679 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: been traveling the world and I guess digging up information 680 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: about the bidens. I guess is it just or the 681 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: corruption in general or election interference as described by the 682 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,919 Speaker 1: Ukrainian court and by Politico on January eleventh of twenty seventeen. Right, 683 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: So listen, I don't know as much. I haven't tracked 684 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: Rudy's movements as closely the last few months, you know, 685 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: back Apparently if he makes a telephone call to you, 686 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: John Solomon, that's public information. Now, yes, they should probably know. 687 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,280 Speaker 1: God forbid that John Solomon actually, as an investigator reporter 688 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: has contacts. Yeah, that's the silly part about it. If they, 689 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: and there were many other reporters in those call likes, 690 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: they just chose not to release them. I think Rudy 691 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,280 Speaker 1: Giuliani has been for more than a year looking at 692 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 1: the issues in Ukraine as they affect President Trump's defense 693 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 1: and things like the Mulla report and now the impeachment trial, 694 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 1: and he's trying to get the best evidence for his 695 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: client to make a case of his innocence. And one 696 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: of those cases is there might have been really legitimate 697 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 1: concerns in Ukraine about Hunter Biden that would warrant a 698 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: president saying could you get to the bottom of it? 699 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: That would be a natural legal defense for Rudy Giuliani 700 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 1: to help the president build in this impeachment proceeding. And 701 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: we should wait and see what he releases. There's some 702 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: talk he's going to go before Senator Graham's committee and 703 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 1: release his evidence. There's all the things I put into 704 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: the public, and remember all my things are document You 705 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: can click and see the documents and read the information yourself. 706 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 1: There are a lot of questions, none of them answered, 707 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 1: but a lot of important questions. And the most important 708 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,280 Speaker 1: is did Joe Biden engage in appearance of a conflict 709 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: of interest when he fired a prosecutor he knew was 710 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: investigating his son's company. I think we're getting a clearer 711 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: answer every day on that, and there ought to be 712 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,280 Speaker 1: some accountability brought to that issue. All right, John Solomon, 713 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 1: thank you, eight hundred and nine pot one, Sean Tolfree 714 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: telephone number. Gladuate with us. Merry Christmas. You can say 715 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,879 Speaker 1: it again it's like, oh, it's safe to say it's 716 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: the war on Christmas. Remember they get so mad, the 717 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: Liberals that we'd say there's a war on Christmas. In box, 718 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean that you can't you can't even put up 719 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: an activity scene about people just melting alca sualtter and water. 720 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: Like Mike Huckabee says, puts out a tweet the other 721 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 1: night he's got on my show and he goes, yeah, 722 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm going on Hannity because the president really deserves a 723 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: third term because they stole his first year and they 724 00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: lose it. Anyway, in Ohio, we have Todd stand by Todd. 725 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: How are you.

We're here in the Buckeye State, and I 729 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: want to tell you, uh, you got the backing of 730 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: the Buckeye State everything.

I just I just 733 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: really wanted to keep it short and sweet and just 734 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: to tell you thank you. Everything that you're saying. You know, 735 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: I've been following you for years. I've got my pitchers, 736 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: My mom my, brothers were all following you. So I 737 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,240 Speaker 1: really appreciate what you do. I can't do it without you. 738 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: And you know I'll say this, I'm gonna say it 739 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: a lot in the next year. We're all spokes at 740 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: a wheel. The only way the president gets re elected, 741 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: the only way you'll ever hear the words CNN fake 742 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: news can now project that Donald J. Trump has been 743 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: reelected the president of the United States, and them lose 744 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: their mind and we shocked the world again. It's an 745 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,360 Speaker 1: all hands on deck moment. This impeachment will long be 746 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: forgotten by some, but not by me. Quick break right back. 747 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: We'll continue straight a hut. The founding fathers must be 748 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: turning in their graves that a president of the United 749 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: States is vulnerable to impeachment. For this is perjury in 750 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,320 Speaker 1: a case like this serious enough to warrant impeaching the president. 751 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 1: If the Republicans want to go ahead and do this, 752 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,399 Speaker 1: I think they disgrace themselves in a more profound way 753 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 1: than President Quinton has by abusing the machinery of impeachment. 754 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: Is it worth overturning the will of the people in 755 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: order to impeach him. If the only thing you can 756 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 1: prove is that he lies, is there is there not 757 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:53,480 Speaker 1: some concern of the public perception that this is in 758 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: fact a kind of effort at a quote coup. Ophelia 759 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 1: Ariano says it reminds her of a coup in her 760 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 1: native Gudam. We like him here, he's doing that wood 761 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: show the Republican Party who disliked him and what he 762 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: stands for. Having been unable to beat him with the poles, 763 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,800 Speaker 1: have found another way to get him out of office. 764 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: America wants Christmas Carols uninterrupted by political scandal. They have 765 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: robbed from you, make no mistake about it. They have 766 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 1: used a procedural device to steal from you. You're right 767 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: to be democratically represented. Quote. You don't overturn the results 768 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 1: of an American election on a whim unquote. If he 769 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 1: takes the risk of going to try and he's convicted, 770 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: that could be seen as an impeachable offense. If Trump 771 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 1: were caught on a video camera sorting cocaine in the 772 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: White House, maybe with one of his children, there was 773 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: at least a chance he'd be impeached if he's not 774 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,799 Speaker 1: a legitimately elected president. In your mind, there are tools 775 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 1: that Congress had. I don't see how that wouldn't be 776 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: an impeachable offense. That tweet fits the Republican definition of 777 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 1: an impeachable offense. I will fight every day until he 778 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 1: is impeached paspty God and peach bodyd grounds for impeachments 779 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:12,399 Speaker 1: and impeachable offense. Perhaps impeachable offense is impeachment the appropriate 780 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: remedy something for the Congress like impeachment. All that may 781 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: be impeachable. That's an impeachable offense? Is that an impeachable offense? 782 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 1: Is that an impeachable offense? To you? He's much more 783 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: vulnerable to impeachment a potential ingredient of impeachment. Where do 784 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: you see in a peachable offense? It is grounds for impeachment, 785 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,760 Speaker 1: for impeachment, potentially criminal for even impeachable, grounds for impeachment 786 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: or does that not go far enough in your view? 787 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: Grounds for impeachment? This tweet alone maybe an impeachable offense. 788 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 1: Let's talk about impeachment. Impeachment is on the table, rich 789 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 1: impeachable offense fully stolen? And I said, baby, they talks 790 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: because we're gonna go in there, We're gonna impeach them. 791 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 1: So you see an impeachable set of offenses, it's an 792 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: impeachable offense. If that's not impeachable, I don't know what is. 793 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 1: The president shall be removed from office on impeach? Is 794 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 1: it impeachable? Is impeachable? Very substantial evidence that the president 795 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:10,040 Speaker 1: is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanor grounds for impeachment. 796 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 1: Tipping point to talk of impeachment reaches a fever pitch 797 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 1: on Capitol health. That's three long years impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. Uh. 798 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,280 Speaker 1: And now Schumer's like everything that I said in ninety 799 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 1: eight about the Clinton impeachment, Uh, never mind. But we 800 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: should do it the way the Republicans wanted to do 801 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,959 Speaker 1: it back then, which Republicans did not that. How many 802 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of of of of transcripts do we 803 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: now have between the audition shift show hearings, then the 804 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 1: phony shift show hearsay bs shift show that they went 805 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 1: on publicly, all these people testify, all the hearsay people, 806 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,920 Speaker 1: all the opinion people, not one fact witness out of 807 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 1: the bunch of them, and the Ivory Tower people now 808 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 1: they know there's no evidence, so now they say, well, 809 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: maybe let's let's read the investigation in the Senate. You 810 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: guys messed it up. We'll do it here. No, because 811 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 1: that would be the role of the House. They impeached 812 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: the president, and they give you specific reasons, they will 813 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: present their case to the Senate. And because there is 814 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,400 Speaker 1: no fact witnesses that they're going to be able to 815 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 1: call except one exculpatory fact witness, it's going nowhere is 816 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 1: all it is is a fate to complete. At this point, 817 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: they've made up their minds. They hate Trump. We've heard 818 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 1: it all through the end of twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, 819 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, and twenty nineteen, and these polls now reflect 820 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 1: the American people are getting it all, they're understanding all 821 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,479 Speaker 1: of it, and they're sick of it. And I can't 822 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 1: blame them. I'm sick of it too. And is it 823 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: going to impact the president? Actually it will. It's helping 824 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 1: the president. They will help reelect the president. This is 825 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: one of the greatest things they could do in terms 826 00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 1: of a contribution to the Trump campaign and his reelect effort. Anyway, 827 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you want 828 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. So we have 829 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: the latest John Solomon piece that is out there. I 830 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,879 Speaker 1: am beginning to wonder about all these things. I went 831 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,879 Speaker 1: through this whole litany of issues, and I tweeted him 832 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 1: out the other day because there is a big lie 833 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 1: being told in the media mob circles about what conservatives 834 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 1: think about Russian election interference. And they've got a conspiracy 835 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 1: theory about no, it's really wasn't Russia, it was really Ukraine. 836 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,960 Speaker 1: And they don't even believe Russia tried to interfere in 837 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 1: the elections. Okay, that's what they say. Now let's go 838 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,279 Speaker 1: back and take a trip down memory lane, because I 839 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:43,359 Speaker 1: think this is very, very, very critical and important. When 840 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 1: you look, it was Devin Newness. Nevin Newness, remember in 841 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen he warned everybody, Yeah, they're gonna try and impeach. 842 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: Remember it was Devin Newness. Devin Newness is the one 843 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,319 Speaker 1: that said, oh, yeah, the Russians ill interfere. Of course, 844 00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,720 Speaker 1: the Russians interfered, hostile regime, hostile actor of Tamir Putin. 845 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be making deals and having more flexibility and 846 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: talking to him privately. God only knows what he did there. 847 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 1: But we're now watching and witnessing something that is There's 848 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: nothing that they offer we the people at this point. 849 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,879 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, I don't care what they say. 850 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 1: They don't want to investigate Russia, a real dirty Russian 851 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 1: dossier used to impact the twenty sixteen race, a race. 852 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,360 Speaker 1: They don't want to look at the obstruction of justice 853 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,040 Speaker 1: with the secret server and the bleach bit and the 854 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,319 Speaker 1: Hammers and the Deletians. They don't want to. They don't 855 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 1: want to look at possible Ukrainian interference election interference, even 856 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: though Ukrainian court said so, and then we have politicos 857 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: saying so in great detail. They just they have one 858 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 1: set of standards that they have set up for Donald 859 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 1: Trump and an entirely different set of standards for everybody else. 860 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 1: Breath taking hypocrisy. I've never seen it like this or 861 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 1: this bad. By the way, So the shift show went 862 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: back to his district and apparently didn't go over pretty 863 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:14,719 Speaker 1: well there. Listen to this president, and one of the 864 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: reasons why this is so important, that it was so 865 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 1: my partisan and so overwhelming, is that this shouldn't be 866 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:27,319 Speaker 1: a partisan issue. The Vaccini facci issue. They will not 867 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 1: be denied. So far a war. I'm grateful. Jail a 868 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 1: lawyer by jail for guilty. Friar, you're a lawyer. Peach, 869 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:55,719 Speaker 1: Dont peach a blawyer. Jail.

Well, 875 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 1: I've been calling it a shift show and then you 876 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 1: know it's nothing but bullshift from shift and that is 877 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 1: his town hall. Great job dividing the country. All right, 878 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 1: let's get to our phones. Let's say hi to Christopher 879 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 1: a new Joysey. Christopher, Hi, how are you glad you called? Sir? Hi? 880 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 1: My name is doctor Christopher Banetti. I'm actually a political 881 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:39,640 Speaker 1: scientist and a liberal Democrat. Are you a professor? Yes, 882 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 1: I'm an act professor at a community college for you, 883 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 1: and a liberal professor. I'm shocked. Go ahead. Actually, you'd 884 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 1: be surprised how a few real liberals are in college. 885 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 1: They're all progressives. Now it's a completely different balls, completely 886 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: differ I kind of look at liberalism progressivism. It's sort 887 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 1: of the parties gone hard left. But anyway, what's on 888 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: your mind today? Right? Right? Well? Having to tell you 889 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: all the stuff. But so, I'm a level democrat, I'm 890 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,640 Speaker 1: an academic, and I oppose impeachment. I'm against impeachment, and 891 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,480 Speaker 1: as you might imagine, this is a problem for me. 892 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 1: And the reason I'm against impeachment is a I'm a 893 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,920 Speaker 1: political theorist and I study history, and the Roman Republic 894 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 1: on which our constitution is based basically fell apart because 895 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 1: of almost exactly the same situation we have now. And 896 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:35,200 Speaker 1: I feel like our institutions are more valuable than impeachment. 897 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: And I also think that the evidence for impeachment is weak. 898 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 1: And I you know, I'm not Trum supporter. I would 899 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: never in a millionaires vote for Trump. I'm a Democrat, 900 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,800 Speaker 1: but I do feel like if we impeach him, even 901 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 1: if he doesn't get removed what you want to remove, 902 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 1: but I think the Republic won't recover from it. Because 903 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 1: all right, to stay there, I want to find out. 904 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on hold. We'll talk to you 905 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: on the other side, And why is a liberal professor 906 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,440 Speaker 1: a political science why you are against impeachment? It's pretty 907 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,920 Speaker 1: interesting to all of us. All Right, as we continue 908 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 1: at Christopher, New Jersey, Christopher, all right, so you're against impeachment, 909 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 1: but you'd never vote for Trump. Obviously, your fellow liberal 910 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:20,720 Speaker 1: leftist Democrats are doing this. So why would you reward them. 911 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 1: What have they done for the American people the last 912 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: three years except hate Donald Trump? Well, I mean, I 913 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 1: think it comes down to my values are democratic values, 914 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,640 Speaker 1: and while I disagree with the party elites on a 915 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 1: few things. For example, Chairman Tom Poris is basically trying 916 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 1: to purge the party at pro lifers. I happen to 917 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 1: be pro life even though I'm liberal, so I'm not 918 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,360 Speaker 1: a huge fan of that. But I do feel like 919 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:43,920 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'm a Democrat in 920 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 1: my values, and even if the party does things I 921 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 1: find distasteful, I can't just leave. I actually disagree with 922 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,480 Speaker 1: Jeff Andrew when he left. I don't think that even 923 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 1: when the party does something that's dishonorable that you should leave. 924 00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:00,440 Speaker 1: Can you name one specific accomplishment, one thing they done 925 01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: for we the people in the last three years. Well, 926 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, at the state level, I think the Democrat No, no, no, 927 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,960 Speaker 1: we're not talking about the state law. I'm talking about Congress. 928 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking about your House of Representatives. The Democrats in Washington. 929 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 1: What have they done for we the people? They haven't 930 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 1: done that much. But I would argue that the Republicans 931 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 1: haven't done that much either. Well, I would argue Donald 932 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,960 Speaker 1: Trump gave us the largest tax cut in history. He 933 01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: kept his promise on originalists and constitutionalists on the Court, 934 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,560 Speaker 1: kept his promise on moving America towards energy independence. For 935 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 1: the first time in seventy five years. We're a net 936 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 1: exporter of energy. Keystone Pipeline, Dakota Pipeline up and running, 937 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 1: an Moir's open. We now have the president found the 938 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 1: way and he's gonna have four hundred miles of border 939 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,000 Speaker 1: wall built by October of next year. It's on track 940 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 1: four as hundreds now built already. Then, of course, he 941 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 1: said he's gonna fight for free and fair trade deals. 942 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 1: He's got them done. Then he said he didn't want 943 01:00:56,040 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: long entanglements abroad. But he beat the Caliphate and Syria. 944 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 1: Baghdaddy and his closest allies are dead I'd say he's 945 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 1: done a pretty good job of keeping a lot of 946 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 1: his promises. But see, I don't believe in his values. 947 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that wasn't the question, professor. Keep 948 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 1: your focus now. I'm sure you have to say this 949 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 1: to some of your students. You said to me, I 950 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 1: don't think the Republicans have done much either. I just 951 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 1: mentioned all of those. Those are not small items. Those 952 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 1: that's the big list. The presidents also created seven million 953 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 1: new jobs. The President's also gotten seven million people off 954 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 1: of food stamps. Well, okay, we can talk about food 955 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,720 Speaker 1: stamp politics, because I think it comes down to my 956 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 1: last question, what have the Democrats done? I gave you 957 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 1: the list of what Donald Trump has done. It's really 958 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 1: hard to do anything when you're do you don't have 959 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,320 Speaker 1: the presidency. It's very hard to do anything when you 960 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 1: just have one half of cast. So you're making excuses 961 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 1: for them. But when they did have power, we had 962 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 1: thirteen million more Americans on food stamps and eight million 963 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,600 Speaker 1: more in poverty. That was the Obama Biden legacy. I 964 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: would disagree, no disagreeing. You have food stamps the way 965 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 1: I think that food stamps. Sometimes you have to increase 966 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:09,200 Speaker 1: the role. Is it better to have people have a job. 967 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 1: We have the best employment situations in nineteen sixty nine. 968 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 1: Is it better to have a job or better for 969 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,680 Speaker 1: government assistance? I would say it's better to have a job, 970 01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,959 Speaker 1: but I don't think that Donald Trump has now given 971 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: us jobs, and I think it's better. I think we 972 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: all as human beings are designed to be workers and 973 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 1: to serve others. Life isn't about serving yourself. I got 974 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,880 Speaker 1: a role though. Thank you, my friend, professor, you got 975 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 1: a C minus today. But keep working on a course back. 976 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 1: We'll see if you can do better. Quick break right back, 977 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,200 Speaker 1: stay right here for our final news round up and 978 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 1: information overload. But I do think the aha moment for 979 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 1: the country was the action taken by the things President 980 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:56,200 Speaker 1: Trump appointee, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, who 981 01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 1: said that there was a incredible report from a whistleblower 982 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 1: of great concern and that Congress should be aware of that. 983 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:13,200 Speaker 1: And that is the facts of the Ukraine situation have 984 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,960 Speaker 1: just changed everything. The polls went from fifty nine opposed 985 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:21,960 Speaker 1: to impeachment, thirty four in favor to it that even 986 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 1: thank you, mister speaker, mister speaker, today is a tragic 987 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,919 Speaker 1: day for our country, because while our young people are 988 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,680 Speaker 1: fighting in the Persian Gulf and bringing honor to our country, 989 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,560 Speaker 1: we are bringing dishonor to it with our hypocrisy here 990 01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 1: in this chamber today, the Republican macharity is not judging 991 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:46,080 Speaker 1: the President with fairness, but impeaching him with a vengeance 992 01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 1: and the investigation of the president. Fundamental principles which Americans 993 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 1: hold dear, privacy, fairness, checks and balances have been seriously violated. 994 01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:01,320 Speaker 1: And why because we are here as we are here today, 995 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,400 Speaker 1: because the Republicans in the House are paralyzed with hatred 996 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 1: of President Clinton. And until the Republicans free themselves of 997 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: this hatred, our country will suffer. This is a crime 998 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: in progress against the Constitution and against American democracy. We 999 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 1: cannot take the risk that the next election will be 1000 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 1: corrupted through foreign interfere and solicited by the President, which 1001 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 1: is clearly trying to do that. It has not earned 1002 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,480 Speaker 1: the confidence of the American people. Than any action we take, 1003 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,160 Speaker 1: especially if we seek to overturn the result of a 1004 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 1: free election, will be viewed with great suspicion and could 1005 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,080 Speaker 1: divide a nation for years to come. We do not 1006 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,960 Speaker 1: need a decade of candidates running for office accusing each 1007 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,480 Speaker 1: other of railroading and democratically elected president out of office, 1008 01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,439 Speaker 1: or of participating in a thinly veiled could day time. 1009 01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,600 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons we all feel so angry 1010 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,840 Speaker 1: about what they are doing is that they are ripping 1011 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,600 Speaker 1: from us. They are ripping us under our votes. They 1012 01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 1: are telling us that our votes don't count. There must 1013 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 1: never be a thoroughly voted impeachment, or an impeachment substantially 1014 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 1: supported by one of our major political parties and largely 1015 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 1: opposed by the other. The American people have heard the 1016 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 1: allegations against the president, and they overwhelmingly opposed impeaching him. 1017 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,000 Speaker 1: They elected President Clinton, they still support him. We have 1018 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,600 Speaker 1: no right to overturn the considered judgments of the American people. 1019 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 1: This partisan coup data will go down in infamy in 1020 01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 1: the history of this nation. By the way, that is 1021 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,560 Speaker 1: a crime in progress. Well, then somebody needs to the 1022 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 1: president he's not doing what is the crime in progress? 1023 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: Never mind too, that the second article of obstruction was 1024 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 1: blown out of the water by the Supreme Court that 1025 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:46,960 Speaker 1: clearly by taking on the issue of executive privilege when 1026 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 1: there's a conflict between the executive branch legislative branch. It 1027 01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 1: is the role of the judicial branch to settle disputes 1028 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,280 Speaker 1: when one of the branches seeks remedy, which is now happening. 1029 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 1: As we've been telling you, now I stand. I have 1030 01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,040 Speaker 1: not changed my view. I do not believe that Donald 1031 01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 1: Trump in any way polls like any conventional politician. It's 1032 01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,080 Speaker 1: just the way it is. But with that said, the 1033 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:19,480 Speaker 1: real clear politics average now has impeachment underwater. That was 1034 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 1: not the case from the very get go. We've got 1035 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 1: new polling numbers from our friend Matt Towery USA tond 1036 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 1: numbers that we're going to share with you. But you 1037 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 1: hear the rank hypocrisy of Schumer and of Nadler and 1038 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:39,840 Speaker 1: of Pelosi and the compromise corrupt Adam Schiff. They've had 1039 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,200 Speaker 1: all their hearings, they brought all their hearsay and opinion witnesses, 1040 01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:46,320 Speaker 1: the one fact witnesses on the table. Now they want 1041 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,400 Speaker 1: to because they know it's so weak in the Senate. 1042 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: Now they want to let's try for another impeachment attempt. 1043 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 1: To hear if you will, another cool attempt anyway, John McLaughlin, 1044 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 1: the poster is with us poster strategist McLaughlan and associates 1045 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 1: and also syndicated calmnist Attorney is now taken on the 1046 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 1: new role of being the official poster for all of 1047 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:15,000 Speaker 1: the Fox own owned stations across the country, which is 1048 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 1: a really big job, any of them in swing states, 1049 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:21,520 Speaker 1: important states like Florida, Georgia and elsewhere. Separate and apart 1050 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 1: from the Fox national polls, which I've not been too 1051 01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 1: particularly pleased with their methodology. Guys, welcome back. Why is 1052 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,520 Speaker 1: the methodology so flawed by so many of these groups. Well, 1053 01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,920 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that you see, as 1054 01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,920 Speaker 1: Sean is that, of course I've argued against cell phones, 1055 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,600 Speaker 1: although there is a way to make cell phone pulling effective. 1056 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:46,520 Speaker 1: And also, I think the biggest law is that there's 1057 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 1: an insistence on waiting these polls heavily towards younger voters. 1058 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: We see an over polling, over sampling of Democrats. And 1059 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 1: of course there's also the reluctance for individuals to tell 1060 01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: people that they support Donald Trump after they see him 1061 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 1: attacked on virtually every news network and on every talk 1062 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,080 Speaker 1: show other than of course Yours and Rushes and a 1063 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 1: few that are at the top of the heap, I 1064 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 1: might add, but also on late night comedy in the like, 1065 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,519 Speaker 1: they realize that they are charious if they tell people 1066 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,200 Speaker 1: that they support Donald Trump. There are ways to get 1067 01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,639 Speaker 1: them to do it. We have new polling numbers, which 1068 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:23,719 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it in a minute in one state 1069 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 1: that we're doing. And by the way, those are separate 1070 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,799 Speaker 1: from the Fox Ahilli poles. I'm doing my own polls 1071 01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 1: this year because I got it right in two thou sixteen, 1072 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 1: and I'm going to make sure I get it right, 1073 01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,920 Speaker 1: and We're only going to air them on your show. So, 1074 01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,080 Speaker 1: by the way, it's been you, John McLaughlin and Scott 1075 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 1: Rasmussen that have been right. Zogby wasn't there. Yeah, Zogby 1076 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:47,639 Speaker 1: has been right. But look look at the eggs of poles. 1077 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,840 Speaker 1: All right, So let's go through what we see. We 1078 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:54,400 Speaker 1: now have six poles, even a c ANM pole, showing 1079 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 1: that opposition is now outpacing support for impeachment. This is 1080 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,040 Speaker 1: a big turnaround. Why are we seeing it at this 1081 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:05,559 Speaker 1: late hour, John McLaughlin, Oh, because they have no facts. 1082 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,439 Speaker 1: First of all, those polls that you mentioned, I agree 1083 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:09,640 Speaker 1: with Matt. They're biased in their samples. They're biased in 1084 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,760 Speaker 1: their questions. They randomly dial phone numbers. They don't use 1085 01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 1: voter lists. They're samples of adults or registered voters, not 1086 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 1: likely voters, because likely voter polls determine who actually votes. 1087 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,719 Speaker 1: There's one hundred and thirty nine million people who voted, 1088 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,120 Speaker 1: but there were ninety million people eligibles that didn't vote, 1089 01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,719 Speaker 1: So they pollute the polls and the Republicans. On election 1090 01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,840 Speaker 1: Day twenty sixteen, there was thirty seven percent Democrat, thirty 1091 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 1: three percent Republican. All these polls that you just mentioned 1092 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,639 Speaker 1: that you're referring to, even though they're trending our way 1093 01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: and show the majority you're close to a majority now 1094 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 1: opposes this impeachment, those polls are all biased, with Republicans 1095 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,360 Speaker 1: well under thirty percent. Now, what I want to tell 1096 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 1: you is you've seen you referred to the Real Clear 1097 01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:55,200 Speaker 1: Politics average, that curve or that graph. When they started 1098 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,920 Speaker 1: doing these hearings, they went down. There's no evidence America 1099 01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,559 Speaker 1: was bored by it. They can't prove their case that 1100 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 1: the president did anything wrong in spite of all their 1101 01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,720 Speaker 1: biased reporting. And would you would your people on this 1102 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,720 Speaker 1: show and on your TV show you have people that 1103 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 1: stick to the facts and present a case. You've got 1104 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: these these other networks and these other shows where they're 1105 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,960 Speaker 1: literally making stuff off about the president, and the American 1106 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 1: public's realizing it's a railroad, the process is unfair. And 1107 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 1: back at the end of October, we had a national 1108 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:30,000 Speaker 1: poll that said fifty nine to thirty three Americans thought 1109 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,320 Speaker 1: this as a waste of time and going nowhere. Well, 1110 01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,479 Speaker 1: these hearings by the Democrats, by Pelosian shifts have proven it, 1111 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,320 Speaker 1: and also the Republicans like Doug Doug Collins have exposed 1112 01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,559 Speaker 1: it that this is a political impeachment all about stopping 1113 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:45,880 Speaker 1: the president from being reelected. And we had national poll 1114 01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:47,840 Speaker 1: saying that fifty two to thirty six that this is 1115 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,680 Speaker 1: not a legal proceeding, it's it's a political proceeding. All right, 1116 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,040 Speaker 1: Let's go to your new poll that just came out. 1117 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 1: We have it up on Hannity dot com and also 1118 01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:01,599 Speaker 1: the USA Today poll. What we see is Donald Trump 1119 01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 1: defeating former Vice President Biden and that poll and Bernie 1120 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,200 Speaker 1: Sanders by five points and Warren by eight points. And 1121 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,280 Speaker 1: if you look at the hypothetical had to add contest, 1122 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 1: Trump also is ahead of Mayor Pete by ten points. 1123 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 1: Mayor Bloomberg by nine points. That's another turnaround. And you 1124 01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:24,360 Speaker 1: did the state at Georgia. Tell us what you found 1125 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:28,240 Speaker 1: in Georgia, Matt Towery, Well, what's interesting about Georgia is 1126 01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,840 Speaker 1: the University of Georgia, in conjunction with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, 1127 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:36,160 Speaker 1: did a poll just about a month ago, and quite frankly, 1128 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 1: the results, if you've taken at face value, which I 1129 01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,639 Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily, but I don't want to quipal with other polls. 1130 01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,120 Speaker 1: Right now, you've had a complete reversal of fortunes in Georgia. 1131 01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,760 Speaker 1: At that time, you had over fifty percent saying that 1132 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,599 Speaker 1: the president should be removed from office. Is approval rating 1133 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,760 Speaker 1: was at forty two percent according to the Atlanta Journal 1134 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,680 Speaker 1: Constitution Guga Pole. Now you see the complete opposite. The 1135 01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 1: president's approval rating is at fifty two disapproval with forty 1136 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,200 Speaker 1: two in Georgia. And by the way, Georgia is a 1137 01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,240 Speaker 1: swing state. It is is on the verge of being 1138 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 1: a purple state, can be critical. It's also the eighth 1139 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:10,960 Speaker 1: largest state in the nation. So it's important for us 1140 01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,720 Speaker 1: to look at as far as the impeachment goes, all 1141 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:18,400 Speaker 1: of a sudden and Georgia fifty percent opposing impeachment and removal, 1142 01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:22,040 Speaker 1: and you have just around thirty something percent who say 1143 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,639 Speaker 1: that president should be removed and a very small number 1144 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 1: who say he should have even been impeached in the 1145 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 1: first place. So now these hearings, as John alluded to, 1146 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:33,200 Speaker 1: and John John's Pope a month or two out, was 1147 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,879 Speaker 1: very predictive of where we are now because what's happened 1148 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 1: is the more they accelerate. They hit the accelerator on 1149 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,360 Speaker 1: this impeachment inquiry, and then all the news around it 1150 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,360 Speaker 1: and of course the hyperbole that's involved in it, the 1151 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,440 Speaker 1: President's numbers just keep going up. So the very best 1152 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,680 Speaker 1: at Christmas present that Donald Trump could have it's the 1153 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,680 Speaker 1: gift that keeps on giving is impeachment. I hate to 1154 01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,000 Speaker 1: say it. No one wants to have that moniker around them, 1155 01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,840 Speaker 1: But right now his numbers are just explore, not exploding 1156 01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:03,720 Speaker 1: in the sense that most people can see it, but 1157 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,559 Speaker 1: John and I can see it, and they're moving very 1158 01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:10,840 Speaker 1: rapidly in his favor. About two months ago, Zogby had 1159 01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:15,799 Speaker 1: picked up the president's support among African Americans at twenty percent, 1160 01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 1: and I talked about it. There are now eight Poles 1161 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,639 Speaker 1: that have recently come out. One has an all credible poles, 1162 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,080 Speaker 1: One has the president at a thirty four point five 1163 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:29,120 Speaker 1: percent approval rating with African Americans, another thirty four, another 1164 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:33,200 Speaker 1: thirty three. Zogby yesterday had it at I believe twenty 1165 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,000 Speaker 1: seven or twenty eight. The lowest of the eight poles 1166 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 1: now is sixteen, which would be exactly twice what the 1167 01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,519 Speaker 1: president had in terms of support from African Americans in 1168 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:47,160 Speaker 1: twenty and sixteen. John Yep, how do we interpret that? Well, 1169 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,280 Speaker 1: remember in twenty sixteen we did net eight points better 1170 01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 1: than Romney, but the exit polls had is losing the 1171 01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,760 Speaker 1: African Americans eighty nine to eight. And what's going on though, 1172 01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,280 Speaker 1: is the president as he reaches out and he reminds 1173 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 1: people that look, you've got full employment. Now, you've got 1174 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:05,240 Speaker 1: the lowest Black unemployment ever in history. You can find jobs. 1175 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,120 Speaker 1: Plus the idea that he's taking on the idea that 1176 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 1: they've been taken for granted, and he's standing up for 1177 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,559 Speaker 1: school choice, he's standing up for things that the average family, 1178 01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 1: whether the African American or not, needs, as well as 1179 01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 1: criminal justice reform. These polls have shown that we can 1180 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,760 Speaker 1: get someplace between maybe fifteen and twenty five or maybe 1181 01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: even thirty percent of the African Americans based on their 1182 01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,080 Speaker 1: approval ratings of the job the president is doing. So 1183 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 1: it's always been a theory that I think, and I 1184 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,880 Speaker 1: saw this in Georgia with Governor Deal, when we got 1185 01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 1: double digits African American votes. We defeated the Democrats strategy 1186 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 1: because they wanted to hold us to five percent. And 1187 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:42,800 Speaker 1: when you all of a sudden, when you're getting ten 1188 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,360 Speaker 1: or twenty percent from that core Democrat constituency, you're going 1189 01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,120 Speaker 1: to win, and you've got to win decisively. So they're 1190 01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:51,200 Speaker 1: in a pack because the theory is we can get 1191 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 1: African American votes more easily than we can get white 1192 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,720 Speaker 1: liberals who think they want to vote from Warren and Sanders. 1193 01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 1: So let's get those votes and let's keep that growing 1194 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,759 Speaker 1: and watch the Democrats panic. And it's not just African Americans. 1195 01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,000 Speaker 1: I gotta take a break. We'll pick it up on 1196 01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,880 Speaker 1: the other side more with John McLaughlin Matt Towery. These 1197 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 1: polls are fascinating eight hundred and by the way, they 1198 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,599 Speaker 1: are our posters all throughout twenty twenty, the official posters 1199 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,080 Speaker 1: of the Sean Hannity Show quick break right back, eight 1200 01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 1: hundred ninety four one, Shawn, you want to be a 1201 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,639 Speaker 1: part of the program, we'll continue, all right. As we continue, 1202 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:25,519 Speaker 1: our posters John McLaughlin and Matt Towery with us. All right, 1203 01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:29,720 Speaker 1: So they're gonna have this trial I assume in January. Okay? 1204 01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,720 Speaker 1: Does that continue the bleeding? And how do they manage that? 1205 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,559 Speaker 1: Now as we're heading into the Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire 1206 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,559 Speaker 1: primary and South Carolina And who do you guys see 1207 01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 1: winning on the Democratic side, John McLaughlin On the Democratic side, 1208 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:46,800 Speaker 1: it's absolute chaos right now. It's really volatile. What you've 1209 01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,920 Speaker 1: seen the Warren surge in that state and Sanders come 1210 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,880 Speaker 1: back up, and you've seen Buddha Judge have a little 1211 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,719 Speaker 1: moment too. But there's really a primary going on between 1212 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 1: which moderate's going to come out ahead and which socialists, 1213 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 1: whether Warren or Standers, will come out ahead. And then 1214 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,639 Speaker 1: you've got the minority vote of African Americans and Hispanics. 1215 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 1: So it's really volatile and the process. It all hurts 1216 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,760 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden because he's the collateral damage in this 1217 01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,519 Speaker 1: impeachment scandal because of what he did in Ukraine, not 1218 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,400 Speaker 1: what Donald Trump did So what do you think, Matt Towery, 1219 01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,080 Speaker 1: how does it shake out? Well, it's interesting, you know, 1220 01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 1: we're beginning to see the emergence of sort of a 1221 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 1: Biden on one side and the Warren and Bernie Sanders 1222 01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,120 Speaker 1: on the other, which of course they represent the extreme liberal, 1223 01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,760 Speaker 1: quote social side of the party. So as if that 1224 01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,880 Speaker 1: continues to emerge. Our theory early on, if you remember 1225 01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:39,599 Speaker 1: when we're talking about this in the spring and summer, 1226 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,679 Speaker 1: was that that there'd be a consolidation between Sanders and Warren, 1227 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,559 Speaker 1: someone would have to step aside, and then you'd end 1228 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:50,080 Speaker 1: up having a very liberal nominee. Now I still have 1229 01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 1: my eyes peeled onto all Patrick. I know he's not 1230 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:57,160 Speaker 1: done anything yet, but I'm suspicious about his emergence because 1231 01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:00,080 Speaker 1: it came from nowhere, and I believe that if he 1232 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,639 Speaker 1: had the right support, which would come from the Obama group, 1233 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,320 Speaker 1: he could become a very viable candidate and a bit 1234 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,960 Speaker 1: of a warrisome candidate for the president. But that hasn't 1235 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,639 Speaker 1: developed yet. So as we stand right now, I think 1236 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 1: where we are is we're looking at Biden continuing to survive. 1237 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,880 Speaker 1: I think you'll survive through several primaries. But when we 1238 01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,639 Speaker 1: get when we get further in, We're going to see 1239 01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:23,639 Speaker 1: either Warren or Sanders take control of that left side 1240 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,720 Speaker 1: of the equation. And then the battle's going to be 1241 01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,200 Speaker 1: can the Centrist get a candidate or will it be 1242 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 1: an extreme George McGovern type nineteen seventy two nominee, which 1243 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 1: I still believe in the end is what we will see. 1244 01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:38,679 Speaker 1: All right, guys, our official poster Sean Hannity Radio Show 1245 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:40,720 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine four one Shawn is our number 1246 01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 1: of Matt Towery and John McLaughlin. Thank you both. Will 1247 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,320 Speaker 1: take a quick break. We have an awesome Hannity Tonight 1248 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:48,960 Speaker 1: nineties start on the Fox News channel and we'll get 1249 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 1: to your calls on the other side. And so I 1250 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,599 Speaker 1: was actually doing the finals, but I got to see 1251 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,040 Speaker 1: enough of it, and certainly I spoke to my people. 1252 01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,320 Speaker 1: It's a witch hunt, it's a sham, it's a hoax. 1253 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,680 Speaker 1: Nothing was done wrong, zero was done wrong. I think 1254 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:07,080 Speaker 1: it's a horrible thing to be using the tool of impeachment, 1255 01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,320 Speaker 1: which is supposed to be used in an emergency, and 1256 01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,400 Speaker 1: it would seem many many many years apart, to be 1257 01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:19,160 Speaker 1: using this for a perfect phone call where the president 1258 01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 1: of that country said there was no pressure whatsoever, didn't 1259 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,479 Speaker 1: even know what we were talking about. It was perfect. 1260 01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,760 Speaker 1: The relationship is perfect. I've done much more for them 1261 01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:33,799 Speaker 1: than Obama did for them. It's a scam. It's something 1262 01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,880 Speaker 1: that shouldn't be allowed, and it's a very bad thing 1263 01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:42,479 Speaker 1: for our country. And you're trivializing impeachment. And I tell 1264 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,439 Speaker 1: you what, someday there'll be a Democrat president and there'll 1265 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,240 Speaker 1: be a Republican House, and I suspect they're going to 1266 01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,440 Speaker 1: remember it because when you do, when you use impeachment 1267 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,760 Speaker 1: for absolutely nothing other than to try and get political gain, 1268 01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:03,599 Speaker 1: I think that the whole peachment thing hoax. I guess 1269 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,640 Speaker 1: you could call it, because it is a hoax, and 1270 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi knows it, by the way they duped her. Yesterday, 1271 01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,040 Speaker 1: she was on an interview and she said, we've been 1272 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:14,840 Speaker 1: working on this for two and a half years, so 1273 01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 1: she was working on it, in other words, two years 1274 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:21,000 Speaker 1: before we ever spoke to you. Gran She said, we've 1275 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 1: been working on a peachment for two and a half years. 1276 01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,200 Speaker 1: And the reporter was shocked when they got this answer 1277 01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 1: because it showed she's a liar. So it's a very 1278 01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,400 Speaker 1: sad thing for our country. But it seems to be 1279 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,960 Speaker 1: very good for me politically. And again, those people, because 1280 01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:42,559 Speaker 1: I watched some of the dishonest, fake media, they're saying, well, 1281 01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:44,640 Speaker 1: the poles have remained the same. No, the polls have 1282 01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,679 Speaker 1: not remained the same. I think you understand that, John, 1283 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,840 Speaker 1: The poles have gone through the roof for Trump because people, 1284 01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:55,479 Speaker 1: especially with independent voters and especially in swing states. I 1285 01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,599 Speaker 1: could show you numbers that nobody has ever seen numbers 1286 01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:02,960 Speaker 1: like this before. So the impeachment is a hoax. It's 1287 01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 1: a sham. It started a long time ago, probably before 1288 01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:11,639 Speaker 1: I came down the escalator with the future first Lady. 1289 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,639 Speaker 1: Started a long time ago. And when you look at 1290 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:18,960 Speaker 1: the IG report and you look at these horrible FBI 1291 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:23,960 Speaker 1: people talking about we've got to get them out. Insurance policies, 1292 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 1: you know, the insurance policies just in case she loses, 1293 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: meaning croocket Hillary, who's crooked, is a three dollar bill 1294 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:36,120 Speaker 1: just in case crooked Hillary loses. We've got an insurance policy. 1295 01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 1: But we've been going through the insurance policy now for 1296 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,880 Speaker 1: three years. And it's a disgrace. All right. That's the 1297 01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:45,759 Speaker 1: President in his own words, And I don't know where 1298 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 1: the media is reporting the polls. They're missing the polls 1299 01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,639 Speaker 1: story on purpose, even a lot of them their own poles, 1300 01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:54,960 Speaker 1: they don't want to talk about the key findings and them, 1301 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:59,680 Speaker 1: even as distorted as they are, it is tanking, it 1302 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:04,960 Speaker 1: is cratering. There is a real palpable panic now within 1303 01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,640 Speaker 1: all Democratic circles. They can't get this out of the 1304 01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:12,040 Speaker 1: House fast enough. And in spite of Schumer, you know, 1305 01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:16,400 Speaker 1: putting on a show, it's already been established. The House 1306 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,720 Speaker 1: does the impeaching. And then when they're done and they 1307 01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 1: decide if they want to impeach the president, and then 1308 01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:25,840 Speaker 1: the Senate their role is to convict or quit. Well, 1309 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:30,040 Speaker 1: even he realizes there's no evidence here and it's a 1310 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,880 Speaker 1: laughing stock. And as they go forward and present their 1311 01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:38,160 Speaker 1: so called case, it'll again remind people there's no there there. 1312 01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:42,120 Speaker 1: How petty they are, How little to nothing they've done 1313 01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:45,680 Speaker 1: for the American people, you know, all this flurry of activity, 1314 01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 1: last seconds, acting as though they're doing some work. Where 1315 01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:57,720 Speaker 1: have they been all year? What have they done except Russia? Russia, Russia. Stormy, impeach, impeach, 1316 01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 1: impeach three years now. With that said, the President just 1317 01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 1: keeps driving forward. He yes, he deals with this, Yes, 1318 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 1: he comments on this, and then he goes into one 1319 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: hundred meetings for the rest of the day. Or he's 1320 01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 1: doing a new trade deal, or he's ending more burdensome bureaucracy, 1321 01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:16,960 Speaker 1: or he's figuring out other ways to get more moneys 1322 01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 1: for the wall, or he's increasing defense spending, which we 1323 01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:25,240 Speaker 1: desperately needed thanks to the Obama military let down, and 1324 01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:29,280 Speaker 1: it goes from there. I mean, it's I've never see 1325 01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:32,960 Speaker 1: It's like a tale of two styles. And I think 1326 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,720 Speaker 1: that all in all, the polls are now accurately reflecting 1327 01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 1: that people have had it, and I think it only 1328 01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:45,679 Speaker 1: gets worse. And they so minimize what impeachment means anyway, 1329 01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it means a thing. It means nothing. 1330 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 1: I feel absolutely nothing about their stupid impeachment, Like that's 1331 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,720 Speaker 1: who they are. This defines them. This in the end 1332 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 1: hurts them because when you are in power, you did 1333 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 1: nothing except destroy the economy and give mullahs an Iran 1334 01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 1: a ton of money and draw red lines in the 1335 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:11,320 Speaker 1: sand that you never meant and promise putin you'll be 1336 01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,840 Speaker 1: more flexible after you're reelected. And boy, what wouldn't I 1337 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,080 Speaker 1: love to pay for that transcript. Anyone want to sell 1338 01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 1: that transcript, and we supposedly those are records of that, right, 1339 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,080 Speaker 1: we have records of these phone calls. Well, why don't 1340 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:29,559 Speaker 1: why does an Obama the spirit of transparency release the 1341 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 1: calls with Putin and the Mullahs in Iran and the 1342 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:38,000 Speaker 1: leaders of Iran and elsewhere around the world. And you know, 1343 01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,599 Speaker 1: I just see it all turning. This is now taken 1344 01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 1: on a life of its own. There they are now 1345 01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:49,160 Speaker 1: locked into who they are, lazy, obsessed Trump hating do 1346 01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 1: nothing democrats, the new extreme radical democratic socialist Party. With 1347 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,439 Speaker 1: very few exceptions, there'll be a few people that say, 1348 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 1: you're not getting me to go over the cliff with you. 1349 01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 1: You want to do you want to commit political suicide? 1350 01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:05,960 Speaker 1: You go right ahead. This is not what I signed 1351 01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 1: up for. Your political games. Now, all the others are 1352 01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,000 Speaker 1: capitulating and they're getting a little pat on the back. 1353 01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:14,960 Speaker 1: That's a good that's a good little congresswoman, our congressmen, 1354 01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,160 Speaker 1: and you did good and you listen everything we told 1355 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 1: you to do. By the way, it was nice meeting you. 1356 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:23,160 Speaker 1: Because you're going to probably be gone after the election 1357 01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,519 Speaker 1: day by November fourth, you're gonna regret this decision. All right, 1358 01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 1: let's get to our phones. Chat is in Indiana. Chat. 1359 01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:32,040 Speaker 1: How are you glad you called sir Hey Sean Drake 1360 01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:33,559 Speaker 1: to speak with you. You want to wish you are 1361 01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,760 Speaker 1: early merry Christmas? Same to you, my friend. What's going on? 1362 01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 1: I love the line you're taking in the thing. My 1363 01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:41,680 Speaker 1: biggest thing in my heart is that the line has 1364 01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,720 Speaker 1: been crossed for any of these moderate Dems in these 1365 01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 1: swing stakes to come back later and say that they 1366 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,599 Speaker 1: were against the sham. We see them for who they are, 1367 01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:53,400 Speaker 1: who they truly are liberal party hacks. The whole sham 1368 01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:57,000 Speaker 1: was nothing but taking our tax payer money and funding 1369 01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,559 Speaker 1: for opposition research. And I wanted to leave you with 1370 01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,559 Speaker 1: the question, um I and I so appreciate you. But 1371 01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,479 Speaker 1: so my question is this, in the midst of all 1372 01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 1: of this abuse of power that they were solemnly entrusted with, 1373 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 1: that we the people gave them. Who has been fighting 1374 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,840 Speaker 1: for us, the forgotten men and women that get up 1375 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 1: every day and work and pay our bills and want 1376 01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,519 Speaker 1: to see our kids have a better life than we had, 1377 01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:26,680 Speaker 1: our wages crumbling and infrastructure crumbling, the opuloid epidemic. We 1378 01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:31,000 Speaker 1: all see what the Democrats only concern is the precious 1379 01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:35,640 Speaker 1: progressive liberal agenda. The only ones fighting for us is 1380 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:39,719 Speaker 1: Trump and those who stood by him through this. You, um, 1381 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:41,680 Speaker 1: some of the other greats that I don't want to 1382 01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,080 Speaker 1: speak on your show because um, but I put you 1383 01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 1: in the Big three, um with Rush and and uh um, 1384 01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:49,960 Speaker 1: thank me, God bless us. Mark Levin, I've been just 1385 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 1: Mark Levin, Mark Levin, That's the one I was thinking 1386 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,120 Speaker 1: my mind with. Nobody else is gonna say it there, 1387 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:59,280 Speaker 1: said Mark Levin, So so so in all this, in 1388 01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:02,160 Speaker 1: the midst of all the who's fighting for us? The 1389 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:06,479 Speaker 1: American people? I mean, it's like they've completely forgotten it. 1390 01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,040 Speaker 1: They're so incest. You know what I love about the 1391 01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,720 Speaker 1: President's style and I don't know what it is, but 1392 01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:13,640 Speaker 1: it's like the more they hate him, the more I 1393 01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,200 Speaker 1: like him. The more I like that he doesn't take 1394 01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,559 Speaker 1: their crap, the more I like that he fights with them, 1395 01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,320 Speaker 1: And the more that I like that he goes about 1396 01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:25,400 Speaker 1: the business of governing the country and keeping his promises. 1397 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,880 Speaker 1: That's refreshing. You know, there's a lot of things that 1398 01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,759 Speaker 1: the factor into elections. Peace and prosperity always a big factor, 1399 01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:37,040 Speaker 1: and every economic measure, not only is holding strong, but 1400 01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:41,599 Speaker 1: all the talking of recession is now gone away, and 1401 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,759 Speaker 1: we've had a major turnaround. We have all these millions 1402 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,240 Speaker 1: of jobs created, millions of Americans off of food stamps, 1403 01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:52,640 Speaker 1: the best job situation since nineteen sixty nine, every demographic 1404 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:56,559 Speaker 1: in the country, our entire American families benefiting from these 1405 01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 1: good policies. And you just you see and you can 1406 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 1: pair and your contract. People are now used to his style. 1407 01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:05,920 Speaker 1: He's not the guy that fights day and night to 1408 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,840 Speaker 1: keep his promises. Doesn't say, oh, okay, I'm going on 1409 01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:11,640 Speaker 1: Twitter now, I'm going to turn the fight switch off. 1410 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:13,599 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. You are who you are, 1411 01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:17,800 Speaker 1: and he's sort of such the anti politician. Is what 1412 01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,840 Speaker 1: you see is what you get. All these other pretentious, 1413 01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:25,919 Speaker 1: self righteous, sanctimonious people. They usually present one face in public, 1414 01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:30,679 Speaker 1: but behind closed doors they're nothing like that. And that's 1415 01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,760 Speaker 1: the opposite. American knew what. Look, I'll tell you right now, 1416 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 1: America needed this disruption. This disruption has been great, and 1417 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm telling you what's going to end up happening here. 1418 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 1: This is going to be the new norm. Old establishment 1419 01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:50,719 Speaker 1: republicanism is dead. America first is alive and well fighting 1420 01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:55,000 Speaker 1: for the forgotten men and women alive and well looking, 1421 01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:59,360 Speaker 1: getting out of foreign conflicts, long engagements. That day is 1422 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 1: coming gone on. Why do you think the president's going 1423 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,679 Speaker 1: to spend eight hundred billion on new weaponry? Well, because 1424 01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,519 Speaker 1: it's the next generation. We're not gonna have to send 1425 01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:11,360 Speaker 1: our sons and daughters banging on doors. This is transformational. 1426 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:15,200 Speaker 1: You know this idiot that supported part Judge Gregg, you 1427 01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,680 Speaker 1: know establishment figure critical of me, and I'm like, oh, 1428 01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:23,000 Speaker 1: Trump's not a conservative. I'm like, well, or a Republican. 1429 01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:25,479 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think he is either. Actually, he's 1430 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,880 Speaker 1: a registered Republican. I'm not a Republican. I'm a conservative. 1431 01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 1: Originalist on the court that's conservative. The largest tax cuts 1432 01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:38,040 Speaker 1: in history, that's conservative. Securing the border that's conservative. Energy 1433 01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:43,520 Speaker 1: independence that's conservative. You know, ending burdens and bureaucracy, that's conservative. 1434 01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,520 Speaker 1: If we're gonna win overwhelming force in war and conflict, 1435 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,920 Speaker 1: win it. He beat the Caliphate, He beat Baghdaddy. Baghdaddy's 1436 01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:54,240 Speaker 1: dead along with four of his other top lieutenants. That 1437 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:58,040 Speaker 1: is a conservative way to fight, in my view. Eric 1438 01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 1: is in California. Eric, are you good? How are you 1439 01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,040 Speaker 1: doing today? Sean good? What's going on? Oh, I just 1440 01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:05,680 Speaker 1: wanted to wish you a merry Christmas and thank you 1441 01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:09,639 Speaker 1: again for another great year's hard work. Thank you well, 1442 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:13,000 Speaker 1: you make this happen. And boy, I'm gonna rest up 1443 01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,960 Speaker 1: after this silly impeachment thing, and then we're gonna come 1444 01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:20,120 Speaker 1: back with all cylinders firing right on time. And they 1445 01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,599 Speaker 1: answer the previous Colors question, you're the one out there 1446 01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:25,960 Speaker 1: fighting for us smelly shoppers. I hate to tell you 1447 01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,160 Speaker 1: I am one of those smelly shoppers. So you know, 1448 01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't understand one thing. Why when 1449 01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,400 Speaker 1: I go to a store. You know, my work is 1450 01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,880 Speaker 1: in public every but it's the same as everybody else where. 1451 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:40,160 Speaker 1: We all are in the service industry. You create goods 1452 01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 1: of the services for people. Mind's news and information, hopefully 1453 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:47,040 Speaker 1: with a dose of entertainment once in a while. And people, 1454 01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:51,840 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? I'm like shopping and they're like, well, 1455 01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:55,720 Speaker 1: why do you shop? Yes? Why because I like to 1456 01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:57,880 Speaker 1: eat or I like, you know, I buy somebody at 1457 01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:00,680 Speaker 1: present or something. I don't know. Yes, because the Democrats 1458 01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:05,240 Speaker 1: have someone else do all their shopping for them. You have, 1459 01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:08,839 Speaker 1: no they just they just shop with our money. That's 1460 01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:12,559 Speaker 1: there's the big difference. Oh yeah, that's right. Do an 1461 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:16,479 Speaker 1: impeachment on our money as well. Exactly. You have some 1462 01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:19,320 Speaker 1: wonderful guest speakers when you're on vacation, and I was 1463 01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,960 Speaker 1: wondering if you would consider giving Wind a day to 1464 01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:27,840 Speaker 1: do her own show. You know, She's like, no, you know, 1465 01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:32,280 Speaker 1: here's the problem. Well, the fines will be so great. 1466 01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:36,640 Speaker 1: There's not enough dump time built into this show to 1467 01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:40,760 Speaker 1: allow her to do her show. It. I think I 1468 01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:42,960 Speaker 1: think she'd do great. She's always welcome to do it 1469 01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:45,960 Speaker 1: if she wants to try it. She's got a great 1470 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,360 Speaker 1: voice and she can talk to talk just with best 1471 01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:50,840 Speaker 1: of them. Well, first of all, first of all, let 1472 01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,280 Speaker 1: me first of all tell you that no no, no no, no, 1473 01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,839 Speaker 1: no no no, let me let me do the talking. 1474 01:30:56,200 --> 01:31:02,439 Speaker 1: I'm talking here first of all.

Laurie Illinois. 1476 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:09,719 Speaker 1: Next Sean Hannity Show. What's up, Laurie, Hi there, Sean 1477 01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:13,040 Speaker 1: wanted to see. I loved your show with Levin last night. 1478 01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:16,800 Speaker 1: Watch that was really good. Oh, thank you. I wanted 1479 01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:20,240 Speaker 1: to just wake one point about Pelosi. Everybody's discussing if 1480 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,120 Speaker 1: they're going to have the votes or not. In the House, 1481 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a mute comment because you know, darn well, 1482 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:28,400 Speaker 1: she's going to have those votes and we're going to 1483 01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:31,880 Speaker 1: have quick pro quote. But on her side, she's the one, 1484 01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:37,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure promising everyone, you know, all of the Democrats promising, blackmailing, bribing, 1485 01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 1: doing whatever it is to make sure she's got those votes. Listen, 1486 01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:42,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is what Congress does all the time. 1487 01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:44,880 Speaker 1: That's true. There's a lot of that, which is a 1488 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,479 Speaker 1: good point I wish I thought of. They're always saying, well, 1489 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:49,360 Speaker 1: you vote for us here, we'll be able to help out. 1490 01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:51,040 Speaker 1: What do you need in your district? Again, Oh, you 1491 01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:53,479 Speaker 1: have soybeans in your district. Well we could probably help 1492 01:31:53,560 --> 01:31:57,240 Speaker 1: the soybean farming industry if you help us with this vote. Yeah, 1493 01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:00,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot of that that goes on. Yeah, so 1494 01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:04,160 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be blaming Trump for anything that they're doing. Anyway. 1495 01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:07,200 Speaker 1: It's all quid pro quo. You support my spending in 1496 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 1: my district, I'll support the spending in your district. You 1497 01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:12,559 Speaker 1: have a quid and a pro and a quote like Joe, 1498 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:16,720 Speaker 1: It's amazing, Yes, sir, definitely, you have a Merry Christmas Fan, 1499 01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:19,120 Speaker 1: I'll be gotta keep listening and watching.
