Speaker 1: This is the biggest of federal judge slapping down Muller
Speaker 1: beat down that I think I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: Hang pipe, buckle up. This is huge news. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to. Let me just dip in here. Though the
Speaker 1: President is speaking at the n r A has had
Speaker 1: a lot to say already about how important the twenties
Speaker 1: eighteen elections are, how important this is, which is what
Speaker 1: we've been saying. Let our country beat overwhelmed, and we're
Speaker 1: going to demand secure the border in the upcoming It's
Speaker 1: gonna be very soon. It's gonna be very soon. In
Speaker 1: recent months, Democratic lawmakers have voted against legislation to close
Speaker 1: deadly immigration loopaul like catch and release. How about that
Speaker 1: one we caught on release some bye bye, Welcome to America,
Speaker 1: Welcome to America. That's what we have, We're going to
Speaker 1: keep the violent criminals out. Senate Democrats like John Tester
Speaker 1: and saw what happened there, What he did to one
Speaker 1: of the finest people in our country, what he did
Speaker 1: to the adval what he did is a disgrace. John
Speaker 1: test Bill Nelson, and Bob Casey voted against Kate Slaw
Speaker 1: legislation name for Kate Styling, who was gunned down by
Speaker 1: a five time deported illegal immigrant. And you saw what
Speaker 1: happened with that court case. Can you believe the result
Speaker 1: of that court case? Can you believe them? The same
Speaker 1: senators along nearly every other Democrat also voted to protect
Speaker 1: something that's actually becoming very popular, sanctuary cities. Can you believe?
Speaker 1: Finally people are starting together. Democrats are liberals, and Congress
Speaker 1: wanted disarmed, law abiding Americans at the same time they're
Speaker 1: releasing dangerous criminal aliens and savage gang members onto our streets.
Speaker 1: These countries send up their worst. Remember what my opening
Speaker 1: speech I got criticized for. Remember, well, guess what they're
Speaker 1: not sending their finest that I can tell you. We're
Speaker 1: getting some real beauties in here, but we're taking MS
Speaker 1: thirteen horrible killer gang members. We get them out, because
Speaker 1: our guys are much tougher than there's There is not
Speaker 1: even a little bit of a contest. And that's the
Speaker 1: only language they understand. That's the only language they understand.
Speaker 1: These are savage killers. My administration believes our city should
Speaker 1: be safe havings for Americans, not sanctuois for criminals. And
Speaker 1: we believed that violent gang members must be thrown out
Speaker 1: of our country immediately, not let to stay, to fester
Speaker 1: and to get larger. We get them out, and we
Speaker 1: are taken them out by the thousands, and we had
Speaker 1: the right laws, which we can have very quickly with cooperation,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't even have a problem. Be so much better,
Speaker 1: so much easier. We believe that politicians who put criminal
Speaker 1: aliens before American citizens should be voted out of office
Speaker 1: immediately as we secure our borders. We're also supporting the
Speaker 1: election as as he goes through his list anyway, that
Speaker 1: is his speech live as it's happening before the n
Speaker 1: r A. Right now, we have so much breaking news,
Speaker 1: I might otherwise stay with this and we'll be we'll
Speaker 1: be watching and monitoring if he says anything else. He
Speaker 1: did talk at length about how important elections are and
Speaker 1: clearly when the next when the next bill comes up,
Speaker 1: as it relates to the budget in September, he is
Speaker 1: saying that he's willing to shut the government down. That
Speaker 1: puts every Congressman in every senator up for election in
Speaker 1: a direct path of a politically volatile issue, and that
Speaker 1: is the issue of building and funding completely the border wall,
Speaker 1: which you know what the president is using every power
Speaker 1: he has. All right, let me let me start here
Speaker 1: with with some that is unbelievable. A federal judge today
Speaker 1: slapped down so hard Mueller and his merry band of
Speaker 1: democratic donors involved in this witch hunt. He said, basically
Speaker 1: said everything but that this is a witch hunt. It
Speaker 1: was a stunning act of courage from the judiciary branch
Speaker 1: of government, and it absolutely pierced the real truth behind
Speaker 1: the Mueller investigation. I it is. It is that stunning,
Speaker 1: and I think it is now the beginning of what
Speaker 1: will become a long process where eventually the truth and
Speaker 1: the constitution and the rule of law wins out in
Speaker 1: spite of deep deep state operatives involved in nefarious activities,
Speaker 1: abuse of power, and corruption at a level I've not
Speaker 1: seen in my lifetime. And I can't think of either.
Speaker 1: So at long last, you have somebody with the courage
Speaker 1: to actually call out Mueller's investigation for what it is. Now.
Speaker 1: What happened earlier today hat a federal judge presiding over
Speaker 1: Paul Manafort's case accused Mueller's prosecutors in open court, showing
Speaker 1: at times real flashes of anger, that quote that they
Speaker 1: are lying. Judge in this case, his name is T.
Speaker 1: S Ellis, and he also said the only reason that
Speaker 1: Mueller was pursuing charges against Manafort was to get him
Speaker 1: to flip on President Trump so Mueller could make a
Speaker 1: case for impeachment. He nailed it. You finally, as somebody
Speaker 1: in the legal system brave enough to stand up for
Speaker 1: the rule of law and stand up to a a
Speaker 1: prosecutor that has gone off the rails in what is
Speaker 1: a witch hunt against the president, as all took place
Speaker 1: in Alexandria, Virginia earlier today, and the judge ex pressed
Speaker 1: deep and wide skepticism today about the validity of one
Speaker 1: of the indictments against Paul Manafort, the chairman former chairman
Speaker 1: of President Donald Trump's campaign. Now Manafort appeared in court
Speaker 1: Friday to seek the dismissal of the charges that were
Speaker 1: outlined in the Virginia indictment. Remember there were two separate
Speaker 1: cases we're talking about. In this particular case, the judge
Speaker 1: appeared receptive, at least in large part, to Manaforts lawyer's
Speaker 1: argument that because the counts are not related to the
Speaker 1: Russia investigation, they should be dismissed. It is a It
Speaker 1: is the right and the compelling argument based on the
Speaker 1: rule of law here that they've gone so a far
Speaker 1: from their original mandate. They gotta remember, special counsels have
Speaker 1: a tendency to go way beyond what the scope of
Speaker 1: the investigation had to do with. In the case of Manafort,
Speaker 1: now we're talking about paying fraud charges involving involving nothing
Speaker 1: to do with Russia, nothing to do with the campaign,
Speaker 1: you know, going back to two thousand and five and six. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So the judge US District Judge T. S. Eliott the
Speaker 1: Third told Mueller's prosecutors, I couldn't believe it when I
Speaker 1: saw this. I don't see what relation this indictment has
Speaker 1: with what the Special Council is authorized to investigate. You
Speaker 1: don't really care about Mr. Manaford's bank fraud. What you
Speaker 1: really care about is what information Mr Manafort could give
Speaker 1: you that would reflect on Mr Trump or lead to
Speaker 1: his prosecution or impeachment. Wow, not only is he right,
Speaker 1: he stated it frankly and right up front. The whole
Speaker 1: purpose here and the prosecutors play this game all the time. Well,
Speaker 1: if you give me information on on person A R
Speaker 1: person be, then we'll let you off the hook. Patrick
Speaker 1: FitzGeralds he was never interested in Scooter Libby. He wanted
Speaker 1: Scooter Libby to give up anything as it related to
Speaker 1: Vice President Cheney at the time. And Scooter Libby wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna lie to make his life easier. It took fifteen
Speaker 1: years for him to get the pardon that he deserved,
Speaker 1: and he got it from President Trump. I mean that
Speaker 1: whole case, you know, was supposed to be who leaked
Speaker 1: the information about Valerie Plane a covert operative, which he
Speaker 1: was not well turned out on day one or two
Speaker 1: Patrick Fitzgerald. By the way, interestingly enough, one of Comey's attorneys,
Speaker 1: one of the people Comey leaked that classified information to,
Speaker 1: or the privileged information to now as an attorney for COMBA. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So the prosecutors, they tried to argue today that their
Speaker 1: investigative powers were outlined in both Rod Rosenstein's letter appointing
Speaker 1: Mueller in May and the memo he issued in August. Yeah,
Speaker 1: after the fact, if you remember that particular case, we'll
Speaker 1: we'll give you the mandate after you did what you did,
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. And they added that they also had
Speaker 1: additional authority that they could not disclose in the courtroom
Speaker 1: because it related to an ongoing investigating ongoing investigations that
Speaker 1: could affect national security. The judge wasn't buying any of it,
Speaker 1: and he characterized Robert Mueller's Special Counsel's office and their
Speaker 1: argument as quote, we said that this was what this
Speaker 1: investigation was about, but we're not bound by it, and
Speaker 1: we were lying. And then he said, come on, man
Speaker 1: in court. The judge said this. Now, Ellis didn't make
Speaker 1: an immediate ruling on the mat of fort motion to
Speaker 1: dismiss trial date for that is said on July ten.
Speaker 1: And although Mueller's authority has been tested in court before
Speaker 1: this hearing today was notable this Judge Ellis's decision to
Speaker 1: wade into this to to what this entire mandate was
Speaker 1: about and how a far Robert Muller and his merry
Speaker 1: band of democratic don'ts have gone? Is absolutely right? And
Speaker 1: then that's when he said, you don't really care about Mr.
Speaker 1: Manaford's bank fraud. He said to the prosecutor Mueller's team
Speaker 1: at times losing his temper, the judge losing his temper,
Speaker 1: and Ellis said prosecutors were interested in Manafort because of
Speaker 1: the potential Manafort could provide material that would lead to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's prosecution or impeachment. The judge said, quote, we
Speaker 1: don't want anyone in this country with unfettered power, and
Speaker 1: it's unlikely you're gonna persuade me that the special prosecutor
Speaker 1: has power to do anything that he or she wants.
Speaker 1: He said that to Mueller's attorneys in that courtroom. The
Speaker 1: American people feel pretty strongly that no one has unfettered power.
Speaker 1: And then when Mueller's team tried to answer Ellis's question
Speaker 1: about how the investigation and its charges date back to
Speaker 1: before Trump the Trump campaign even formed, the judge shoots back,
Speaker 1: none of that information has to do with information related
Speaker 1: to Russian government coordination in the campaign of Donald Trump. Boom,
Speaker 1: And at one point the judge posed a hypothetical question,
Speaker 1: speaking as if he were the prosecutor about why Mueller's
Speaker 1: office refer to criminal investigation about Trump's personal attorney Michael
Speaker 1: Cone to New York authorities and kept the Manafort case
Speaker 1: in Virginia And he said, quote, they weren't interested in
Speaker 1: it because it didn't further their core effort to get Trump.
Speaker 1: And then Ellis said it mimicking the prosecutor in this case. Wow,
Speaker 1: this is a beat down unlike I think any I've
Speaker 1: ever heard of before. Wow. And the judge is right,
Speaker 1: by the way, we'll explain all of that when we
Speaker 1: get back. All right, So you could have harsh treatment
Speaker 1: to look younger, why would you risk that? Joe Anne
Speaker 1: from Connecticut rights My husband looks ten years younger because
Speaker 1: of Genia cell. He saw results the first day he
Speaker 1: used it, and I have also had remarkable results. I
Speaker 1: can't live without it. Imagine bags and puffiness under your
Speaker 1: eyes gone forever, and sagging, drooping eyelids gone forever. May

Speaker 1: hundred Skin five zero nine genue Cell dot Com. That's
Speaker 1: Genuine Cell dot Com. I cannot emphasize enough how this
Speaker 1: is a earning point today what happened in court as
Speaker 1: it relates to Paul Manafort. The judge in the case,
Speaker 1: I don't see what relation this indictment has with what
Speaker 1: the special counsel is authorized to investigate. You don't care
Speaker 1: about Mr Manafort's bank fraud. What you really care about
Speaker 1: is what information is to Manaford could give you that
Speaker 1: would reflect on Mr Trump or lead to his prosecution
Speaker 1: or impeachment. Wow, do you know that when a judge
Speaker 1: calls prosecutors liar? What did I say? What was I
Speaker 1: When I look at the team that Muller had put together,
Speaker 1: and I look I'll keep going back to Andrew Weissman
Speaker 1: as exhibit A. He was the one that that The
Speaker 1: New York Times refers to as Mueller's pit bull. Well
Speaker 1: twice he was excoriated by judges for withholding exculpatory evidence. Remember,
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people lost their job because of
Speaker 1: Andrew Weisman. The Mueller's top eight is pitbull at Anderson
Speaker 1: and County. And then it gets worse from there. He
Speaker 1: was overturned by the U. S. Supreme Court nine zero.
Speaker 1: Who gets overturned by the U. S. Supreme Court nine
Speaker 1: zero nobody? And then he put four Merriyal executives in
Speaker 1: jail for a year, and that was overturned by the
Speaker 1: Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. And now you have a
Speaker 1: federal judge saying about Mueller's prosecutors in this case that
Speaker 1: you are lying. Those are the words that came out
Speaker 1: of this judge's mouth today. And then you know they
Speaker 1: try to fight back, and Alice wasn't buying any of it.
Speaker 1: You know, he's he literally characterizing the Special Counsel's Office
Speaker 1: arguments is we said this was an investigation what it
Speaker 1: was about, but we're not bound by it. And we
Speaker 1: were lying. Come on, man, and the judge was livid,
Speaker 1: apoplectic because of of what they did in court today
Speaker 1: and because of how far they have gone beyond their
Speaker 1: mandate in this particular case. You don't care about Manafords
Speaker 1: bank fraud. You care about getting the president what Manaport
Speaker 1: might give you. We don't need anyone in this country
Speaker 1: with unfettered power, he said, unlikely you're gonna persuade me.
Speaker 1: The special prosecutor has power to do anything he or
Speaker 1: she wants, and the American people feel pretty strongly that
Speaker 1: no one has unfettered power. Wow. Wow, I just I've
Speaker 1: never heard this type of strong language in a case
Speaker 1: like this before. This is everything I've been telling you.
Speaker 1: By the way, the newest Mueller prosecutor donated to Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 1: just like the rest of them. That's in the Daily
Speaker 1: Caller today. We'll take a break, we'll come back. We
Speaker 1: have a lot more on this. We've got Haraldo Rivera
Speaker 1: was going to weigh in on it, new Ingridge, Dan
Speaker 1: Bongino and much more. All right, glad you with us
Speaker 1: now to the top of the hour one, Shawn new
Speaker 1: Ingrad to the top of the hour Later on Heraldo
Speaker 1: and and Bongino on this very topic. Our buddy herschel
Speaker 1: Walker got a big appointment by the President. He's gonna
Speaker 1: check in today on this Friday, all right, So let
Speaker 1: me give you the headlines. Federal judge accuses Mueller's team
Speaker 1: and he used the word lying to target Trump and said,
Speaker 1: come on, man, that's the judge from the bench saying
Speaker 1: that you don't care about Mr Manafort. US District Judge T.
Speaker 1: S Ellis the third told Robert Mueller's team, you really
Speaker 1: care about information that Mr Manafort can give you to
Speaker 1: lead to Mr Trump or an impeachment or whatever. Now.
Speaker 1: Ellis also demanded to see the unredacted scope memo, which
Speaker 1: is the the memo, the document outlining hang on one second,
Speaker 1: uh blah blah blah blah, I'm I'm multitasking here. Okay, um, Now,
Speaker 1: let me read this part of it to you because
Speaker 1: because this is really really smart. Now it could be
Speaker 1: the This is by far the most explosive development of
Speaker 1: all in the in the hearings in the Monophar case.
Speaker 1: You know that when a judge does this, this means
Speaker 1: this judge is pissed and he's now demanding that Mueller's
Speaker 1: you know, team of Democratic donors, including the new addition
Speaker 1: we just found out the latest edition of Mueller's team,
Speaker 1: uh Uzo s sone assistant U S Attorney for the
Speaker 1: Eastern District of Virginia, is now joining Mueller's team of prosecutors.
Speaker 1: And lo and Behold donated nine thousand dollar to Clinton's
Speaker 1: presidential campaign. Shaker another Democratic donor appointed by Mueller. But
Speaker 1: it's fair, and Mueller, of course worked under Obama. But
Speaker 1: he's a Republican. You know, somebody was said to me, well,
Speaker 1: you know, he's a good man. He served his country.
Speaker 1: I honored Mueller's service of his country. I don't respect
Speaker 1: him appointing Andrew Weiseman and only Democrats. I don't respect
Speaker 1: that he's gone beyond the scope and mandate of what
Speaker 1: this investigation is supposed to be about. I don't love
Speaker 1: the aggressive tactics that they've taken. They couldn't have made
Speaker 1: a call to Paul Manaforts attorney or Michael Cohen's attorney
Speaker 1: and say we're outside your door. Open it, you know,
Speaker 1: done it, and instead of the pre dawn raid and
Speaker 1: the way it's been described in the press. They can't
Speaker 1: do it in a respectful manner. It's unbelievable. What to
Speaker 1: scare everybody, intimidate everybody. Anyway, So the judges demanding that
Speaker 1: Mueller's prosecutors produced the unredacted version of the memo issued
Speaker 1: by Rod Rosenstein, which gave Mueller the authority to broaden
Speaker 1: the scope of the investigation. If by my memory serves me,
Speaker 1: that was after they in fact did the the raid
Speaker 1: on Paul Manafort. I'm sorry, can we have the permission
Speaker 1: to do this after? Now that rose? It was written
Speaker 1: after just a week after the Rosenstein wrote the memo.
Speaker 1: The addendum to the memo, after Mueller's swat team broke
Speaker 1: into Manafort's home, reports was saying, with guns drawn at
Speaker 1: six am and got Paul Manafort and his wife from
Speaker 1: at a gun point out of bed. Really did you
Speaker 1: think he he was? He was sitting in there, you know,
Speaker 1: ready for a shootout on the Okay Corral? You know?
Speaker 1: Is this how we treat drug dealers? This is how
Speaker 1: we treat mob members. Anyway, So Mueller's prosecutors, they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to turn over the full, unredacted version of the
Speaker 1: August second memo that the Deputy Attorney General the conflicted
Speaker 1: attorney general, the one attorney general that should be recused
Speaker 1: in this case, Rob Rosenstein, the one that in fact
Speaker 1: supported the firing of James on me, he will be
Speaker 1: a witness in this case. And then of course he
Speaker 1: signed one of the FISA warrants. The bulk of information
Speaker 1: were Russian lines that were paid for by a dossier
Speaker 1: put together by a foreign national, Christopher Steel, with money
Speaker 1: funneled through a law firm. Of course, they're not investigating
Speaker 1: any of that. And the judge said he liked to
Speaker 1: see the full memo which prosecutors submitted to the court
Speaker 1: after the raid. So basically Rosenstein gave the permission after
Speaker 1: the raid, not before the raid. That's a big problem
Speaker 1: for them. And for another case against Mantafort, with which
Speaker 1: with more page of redactions, while those prosecutors have urged
Speaker 1: this memo gives them the authority to bring cases against
Speaker 1: Manafort related to his work in the Ukraine. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is this is ten years before Donald Trump ever thought
Speaker 1: of running for president. You know, last there was a
Speaker 1: blog posting in Legal Insurrection and I actually said by
Speaker 1: the time of the August second memo, Mueller already was
Speaker 1: investigating Manafort's business dealings and gathering evidence for an indictment,
Speaker 1: which would be on seal. Less than three months later,
Speaker 1: July seventeen, a week before the Rosenstein memo, Mueller's team
Speaker 1: rated Manafort's home. That BI agents rated his home in
Speaker 1: in Alexandria, Virginia, arriving in the pre dawn hours, you know,
Speaker 1: seizing documents other materials related to the Special Council investigation
Speaker 1: of Russian meddling in the election. It had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with any of it. And that rate occurred without warning, which,
Speaker 1: of course is is one on one Andrew Weissman. If
Speaker 1: you read Sydney Powell's book, Licensed to Lie. Anyway, They
Speaker 1: go on to say in this piece, the August second
Speaker 1: memo purported to confirm Mueller's authority to go after Manafort's
Speaker 1: business dealings. But Mueller already was doing that and had
Speaker 1: been doing that for weeks, uliminating in the July home rate.
Speaker 1: So he went in for permission to do this after,
Speaker 1: in fact, they did the investigation, and after they raided
Speaker 1: his home. Sorry, I don't see if the if we
Speaker 1: have equal justice under the law, I don't see how
Speaker 1: this holds up. Anyway, there's midnight raid or six am
Speaker 1: radar Manafort's home, waking him and his wife with guns drawn.
Speaker 1: A shocking example of unnecessary bullying on its face, intended
Speaker 1: to intimidate, not just develop evidence, but the fact that
Speaker 1: it took place before the scope was even authorized, and
Speaker 1: that subsequent authorization took place in secret stinks too high Heaven.
Speaker 1: This is not gonna fly, not with this judge today.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna fly. You know, when a judge is
Speaker 1: saying outright that, in the metaphor case, that Mueller's aim
Speaker 1: is to hurt Trump, that ought to be awake up
Speaker 1: call for anybody that believes in the rule of law here.
Speaker 1: That ought to be a wake up call for every American.
Speaker 1: I thought Levin was was so on his game last
Speaker 1: night pointing out, you know, Mueller can't disable and totally
Speaker 1: destroy a presidency. In the process of all of this,
Speaker 1: with all this president as accomplished, we're on the verge
Speaker 1: of of possible de nuclearization in the Korean Peninsula. We
Speaker 1: have our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel forming
Speaker 1: a new coalition with the Saudis, Egyptians, Jordanians, and Emirates
Speaker 1: in the US, and we saw that in spite of
Speaker 1: all of the blackmail and bribery of the Obama administration
Speaker 1: and a hundred and fifty billion in cash. Iran does
Speaker 1: have a nuclear program. The President is kind of busy.
Speaker 1: There are other issues he's dealing with. They're ongoing negotiations
Speaker 1: to release these hostages in North Korea American hostages is ongoing,
Speaker 1: you know, work to be done as it relates to
Speaker 1: trade concessions that China is making because the President forged
Speaker 1: a good relationship with the president of China. You know,
Speaker 1: there's also intellectual property protections that need to take place
Speaker 1: in all of this. You know, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff here that is going on. We have the lowest
Speaker 1: unemployment rate in fourteen states ever, look at the numbers today,
Speaker 1: three point nine percent unemployers almost like full unemployment full
Speaker 1: employment rather, you know, lowest unemployment rate for African Americans
Speaker 1: and history, Hispanic Americans and history women in the workplace
Speaker 1: in history. You know. But there's a lot more to this. Also,
Speaker 1: I've been told by people that that Rod Rosenstein had
Speaker 1: a you know, as a has an ethical issue involving
Speaker 1: all of this, and a recusal that's going to come
Speaker 1: out before the end of the day. That the judge,
Speaker 1: the same judge in this case this morning, judge all
Speaker 1: us it's Rod Rosenstein recused himself. Well, if the judge
Speaker 1: is asking that, he's basically saying to Jeff's sessions, what
Speaker 1: the hell are you doing? Because Rod Rosenstein was the
Speaker 1: one that recommended Comey get fired, which means he's a
Speaker 1: witness in all of this. And the second reason for
Speaker 1: recusal will be he signed off on the Fiser renewal application,
Speaker 1: which of course resulted in lying to a FISA court
Speaker 1: judge not once, but four times. I mean, I have
Speaker 1: a federal judge accusing Mueller's prosecutors of lying in that
Speaker 1: they're full of crap. Wow, this is unbelievable. This is
Speaker 1: an unbelievable development. And now the president, you know, everyone's saying, well,
Speaker 1: what is the president gonna do? What if he gets
Speaker 1: subpoenaed by Mueller? Well, we do have a constitutional system,
Speaker 1: and it would be damaging to the president of the
Speaker 1: United States of can't function and do his job. How
Speaker 1: this president has been able to accomplish and the tax
Speaker 1: cuts and energy independence as much as he has. You
Speaker 1: know what under these conditions is frankly nothing short of miraculous. Well,
Speaker 1: Trey Goudy lecturing him about what he should act like
Speaker 1: an innocent man. Well, he's, he's, he's he is acting
Speaker 1: like an innocent man, saying this is a bunch of crap.
Speaker 1: There was no collusion. When does it get shut down? Unbelievable?
Speaker 1: Is now now do we Robert Muller and his team
Speaker 1: of partisans Obama donors, Clinton donors, d NC donors, no
Speaker 1: Republican donors. Robert Mueller, who worked for Barack Obama, wanted
Speaker 1: the job with Trump. They didn't get it. The day
Speaker 1: after he becomes a special prosecutor because of the leaks
Speaker 1: of Jim Comey. You know, and I can get into
Speaker 1: everything else associated with all of this, you know, I
Speaker 1: will tell you there. I am very impressed with this judge.
Speaker 1: I am pleasantly surprised at the courage that this judge
Speaker 1: is shown here literally piercing this veil of secrecy in
Speaker 1: this in this probe that has gone so far beyond
Speaker 1: its mandate, exposing both Mueller and Rosenstein for their deceit
Speaker 1: bul and underhanded taxics in this case you know, the
Speaker 1: Justice Department, you may not know this. In the case
Speaker 1: of Manafort, he even he was investigated for over a
Speaker 1: decade nothing. So Mueller appropriated the files for the very
Speaker 1: purpose that the judge described. They want Manaphort to flip
Speaker 1: and say something that they can use to impeach the president.
Speaker 1: That's all this is about. The judge sees right through it,
Speaker 1: describing Mueller as someone with unfettered authority here and he's saying,
Speaker 1: I demand to see your full unward acted secret scope memo.
Speaker 1: By the way, that came after the raid. The judge
Speaker 1: judge accusing the prosecutors of lying Mueller's team. Well, if
Speaker 1: we ever talked about firing Mueller's team for that all,
Speaker 1: how would the left react to that? But the Mataphoor
Speaker 1: case was starting there. That investigation began thirteen years ago
Speaker 1: by the Tax Division of the d o J. That
Speaker 1: thing was investigated to death. They brought it to life
Speaker 1: because as they saw it as a pipeline to Trump. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll let you off of this, or we'll put you
Speaker 1: in jail for thirty years. Tell us something we want
Speaker 1: that will be useful in our campaign against Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and we'll let you go. I can guarantee you if
Speaker 1: we ever get the interview with General Flynn, how much
Speaker 1: you want to bet they threatened to go after General
Speaker 1: Flynn's son, or agree that he lied to the FBI,
Speaker 1: How much you want to bet he fell on the
Speaker 1: sword for his kid, because I don't think General Flynn
Speaker 1: light to anybody in that in that particular environment. You know,
Speaker 1: when when you have these out of control special counsels,
Speaker 1: if you use the Special Council rules and regulator Rosenstein
Speaker 1: has to identify a crime in his initial order, he didn't.
Speaker 1: In court filings, Mueller admitted he and Rosenstein were deliberately
Speaker 1: vague when they wrote it. That can that confession alone
Speaker 1: means they're violating the regulations. And by the way, that
Speaker 1: would mean everything involved in this and everything they did
Speaker 1: is tainted. It's almost like a conspiracy to circumvent the
Speaker 1: Special Council law and the secret order that speculated the
Speaker 1: Manafort colluded with Russia, when really this is a tax
Speaker 1: case about Ukraine from thirteen years before Donald Trump ever
Speaker 1: wanted to run for president. You know what the judge
Speaker 1: saw right through it today? It proves a these are
Speaker 1: corrupt acts. It proves that this is a witch hunt
Speaker 1: and that this has spun so far out of control.
Speaker 1: It also proves rosen Stein has to go. So I've
Speaker 1: been saying Special Counsel all the that the whole thing
Speaker 1: needs to go. What it's doing to the country. The
Speaker 1: president has to govern under these ridiculous conditions. It even
Speaker 1: gets better because I'm told by sources in the courtroom
Speaker 1: today that the judge, this same Judge Ellis, took a
Speaker 1: shot at Rod Rosenstein about the issue of recusal. This
Speaker 1: I can only tell you this does not have This
Speaker 1: is the biggest slapdown beat down I think I can
Speaker 1: ever recall. This federal judge in the manafort case of
Speaker 1: Robert Muller and his abusively by his team demanding to
Speaker 1: see the unread acted versions of the mandates, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, I think I can get a hold of
Speaker 1: through our investigative reporting. We might have it on the
Speaker 1: air Hannity tonight. All right, we got new game Ridge
Speaker 1: to weigh in on this. Horaldo and Dan Mongina will
Speaker 1: weigh in on this. Herschel Walker checks in today. We'll
Speaker 1: get your calls in today a lot. On this Friday,
Speaker 1: stay with us our to Sean Hannity Show, gladuate with
Speaker 1: us on this Friday. We have massive headlines here that
Speaker 1: we're following, federal judge accuses Robert Mueller's team of lying
Speaker 1: to target Trump. Come on, man, that's the Fox News headline.
Speaker 1: Then we've got judge in mana four case says Mueller's
Speaker 1: aim is to hurt Donald Trump. Just a little background,
Speaker 1: we'll get new Gingridge's reaction to all of this. Finally,
Speaker 1: I would argue a long last, somebody in the judiciary
Speaker 1: is calling out the Mueller investigation for what it is.
Speaker 1: This unconstitutional which hunt in search of a non existing crime. Now,
Speaker 1: the federal judge presiding over the Mantaphor case accused Mueller's
Speaker 1: prosecutors today of quote lying, That's the word Judge T.
Speaker 1: S Ellis used today. And the judge also said the
Speaker 1: only reason that Mueller was pursuing charges against Manafort was
Speaker 1: to get him to flip on President Trump so that
Speaker 1: Mueller could make a case of impeachment. Wow, joining us
Speaker 1: now former Speaker of the House, New King Rich Fox
Speaker 1: News contributor as well. How are you, sir? Well, I'm
Speaker 1: doing well, and I must say this is the most
Speaker 1: remarkable break we've had so far in the entire saga,
Speaker 1: Mueller's witch hunt. Uh, you know, the U. S District
Speaker 1: judge who said this is this is the quote from
Speaker 1: the news from the Fox News coverage, which I've tweeted
Speaker 1: out there's just a few minutes ago myself because it
Speaker 1: is so important. He says, you don't really care about
Speaker 1: Mr Manafort. You really care about what information Mr Manaford
Speaker 1: can give you to lead you to Mr Trump and
Speaker 1: an impeachment or whatever. I was then demanded that they
Speaker 1: give him the onward acted Scope memo, the document originally
Speaker 1: given him outlining his job, because of course what Manaford
Speaker 1: did is he wint In accordingly said, they have indicted
Speaker 1: in the under things that they have no authority to
Speaker 1: even be looking at. And Elliott went on to say,
Speaker 1: we don't want anyone with unfettered power. Now, my my
Speaker 1: newsletter tomorrow picks us up in this whole thing up.
Speaker 1: And I quote someoney you've had in the show Dershowitz
Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz from Harvard, who says that that he's totally
Speaker 1: opposed to anything moving us towards the police state, that
Speaker 1: this is unbelievably dangerous. I also quote uh Andy McCarthy,
Speaker 1: who you know well, who's a former federal prosecutor. He
Speaker 1: says that Trump should not, under any circumstance allow himself
Speaker 1: to sit down and be interviewed by Miller. And I
Speaker 1: point out Mueller cannot get Trump to speak if Rosenstein
Speaker 1: does his job, because the truth is that Miller will
Speaker 1: have to have Rosenstein's approval to try to subpoena at Trump. Well,
Speaker 1: I think all of that is true, but and then
Speaker 1: we have the conflicts. We know, of course that it
Speaker 1: was Rob Rosenstein that wrote a letter of stinging rebuke,
Speaker 1: and you talked about it the last time. I don't
Speaker 1: know the exact words, but to paraphrase that, basically, the
Speaker 1: FBI would never recover to its great status with James
Speaker 1: Comy at the helm. And on top of that, we
Speaker 1: now have discovered that Rod Rosenstein, he was one of
Speaker 1: the people that signed off on the FISA Warrant Application renewal,
Speaker 1: which was the bulk of information was the unverified, uncorroborated
Speaker 1: Clinton bought and paid for dossier with Russian lies he
Speaker 1: signed off on. He didn't do his due diligence when
Speaker 1: he signed that document, So that conflicts him out a
Speaker 1: second way, And why Jeff Sessions hasn't demanded he stepped aside,
Speaker 1: I don't know It's very odd because, as you just
Speaker 1: pointed out, and I've sent it out and I posted
Speaker 1: I think you've posted it, the Rosenstein memo of the
Speaker 1: President Trump before was fired is so devastating and so
Speaker 1: thorough and concludes this writing. It concludes that as long
Speaker 1: as comans there, they will never fix the FBI. Now,
Speaker 1: the gap between guy who the person wrote that and
Speaker 1: the person is allowed viewler who learned muck. It's just
Speaker 1: astonishing to think that the same person could could be
Speaker 1: doing both. And so I'm partially saying you're Rosenstein should
Speaker 1: say publicly and explicitly, Mueller will never get authority because
Speaker 1: he has to get it from us. You will never
Speaker 1: get authority to subpoena the president or to go to
Speaker 1: a grand jury with the president. There's there's no excuse
Speaker 1: for it. And in my newsletter tomorrow, I take I
Speaker 1: take McCarthy and Darts and others and lay out the case.
Speaker 1: But the president should simply follow Nancy Reagan's advice and
Speaker 1: just say no. If you go further into this. Federal
Speaker 1: judge his name is T. S Ellis, the third out
Speaker 1: of Alexandria, Virginia. He was This is beyond skeptical here.
Speaker 1: I mean, for a judge took say that the Special
Speaker 1: counsel is lying, and that's the word he used. And
Speaker 1: the judge saying the only reason Mueller's pursuing charges against
Speaker 1: Manafort is to get him to flip. He actually quoted
Speaker 1: he said, I don't see what relation this indictment has
Speaker 1: with what the Special counsel is authorized to investigate. You
Speaker 1: don't really care about Mr Manafort's bank fraud. What you
Speaker 1: really care about is what information Mr Manafort could give
Speaker 1: you that would reflect on Mr Trump or lead to
Speaker 1: his prosecution or his impeachment. I don't think I can
Speaker 1: recall on my lifetime such a stinging rebuke. And prosecutors
Speaker 1: are saying on on Friday that their investigative powers were
Speaker 1: outlined in Rosenstein's letter to Mueller in May, and they
Speaker 1: added that he also had the additional authority that that
Speaker 1: they could not disclose in the courtroom because it related
Speaker 1: to the ongoing investigation. But then Ellis repeatedly wasn't buying it,
Speaker 1: characterizing the Special Counsel's office argument as quote, well, we
Speaker 1: said this was what investigation was about. What we're not
Speaker 1: bound by it, and we are lying come on, man,
Speaker 1: that's what he said. Those are his words. I think
Speaker 1: that it's clear that the judge both reached a conclusion
Speaker 1: about Mueller and his team and at the same time
Speaker 1: reached the conclusion that he, the judge, was not going
Speaker 1: to give unfettered power to some prosecutor to run around
Speaker 1: UH and try to make a case. If the case
Speaker 1: doesn't agree, it doesn't exist. So I think the two
Speaker 1: weeks from now I have a very important moment in
Speaker 1: that courtroom in Alexandria, because he has insisted that they
Speaker 1: come in and bring the unredacted memo giving Miller power,
Speaker 1: and that he is a judge, not the FBI, not
Speaker 1: the Justice Department. He the judge, will decide whether or
Speaker 1: not that's an appropriate document. And I think this is
Speaker 1: a huge setback from Miller's case. Now you have an
Speaker 1: independent judge who's saying flatly that the Muller team was lying,
Speaker 1: which is actually what Giuliani has been saying, It's what
Speaker 1: McCarthy has been saying, it's what Dershowitz has been saying.
Speaker 1: And I think that this is going to have a
Speaker 1: significant impact as this thing evolves over the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: Let me read one other line, we don't want anybody
Speaker 1: in this country with unfettered power. It's unlikely you're gonna
Speaker 1: persuade me. The Special prosecutor has power to do anything
Speaker 1: he or she wants, he said. The American people feel
Speaker 1: pretty strongly that no one has unfettered power. I mean,
Speaker 1: I actually see this case being thrown out. I'm if
Speaker 1: I'm reading into this the right way. I don't see
Speaker 1: how this judge comes back and says, Okay, well let
Speaker 1: it go forward. And then and knowing the special listen,
Speaker 1: we knew this when Andrew Wiseman was appointed Mr. Speaker.
Speaker 1: I went over his record again and again and again. Uh,
Speaker 1: even the latest deployment by Mueller. Again, another Democratic donor,
Speaker 1: you know, Andrew Weissman, his so called pit bull, according
Speaker 1: to The New York Times, was waiting in anticipation of
Speaker 1: Hillary's victory at her victory party in New York at
Speaker 1: the Javit Center that night. A guy that has been
Speaker 1: excoriated twice for withholding exculpatory evidence. A guy that lost
Speaker 1: nine zero in the U. S. Supreme Court sent Merrill
Speaker 1: executives to jail for a year, to be overturned by
Speaker 1: the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. This is not somebody
Speaker 1: you would put on any team that would involve anything
Speaker 1: involving a president of the United States. Well, that's right,
Speaker 1: And I think I think, by the way, what you're
Speaker 1: seeing now, uh with Judge Ellis is sort of the
Speaker 1: magic is disappearing from Miller and the judge is looking
Speaker 1: at the facts. And again I think I have a
Speaker 1: federal judge in court say to the US prosecuting team,
Speaker 1: you are lying. Uh, it's pretty strong staff, You say,
Speaker 1: Weisman has a record of this is early. You have
Speaker 1: to wonder why would Miller brought him in accept Muller
Speaker 1: one or a bunch of people who were hunter killers
Speaker 1: who are going to go out there and get the
Speaker 1: big game, which of course is the president. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I think that the I think that Judge Ellis has
Speaker 1: stripped all of the mystery away from the Miller investigation
Speaker 1: and said, flatly, your interest isn't going after President Trump.
Speaker 1: Your interest is not an injustice, it's not in criminal law.
Speaker 1: And I think that this is a pretty devastating indictment
Speaker 1: of Miller. I've never seen anything like all. Right, Now,
Speaker 1: a lot of questions have come up as it relates
Speaker 1: to whether the President should ever sit down with Mueller.
Speaker 1: I have a very strong feeling, along with other smart attorneys,
Speaker 1: that it's a perjury trap. Rudy Giuliani said as much
Speaker 1: the other night. Your thoughts, well, my whole newsletter will
Speaker 1: come out later on the day. So we excited Nancy
Speaker 1: Reagan's team on drugs and just say no. And my
Speaker 1: whole point to the president is there there. If you
Speaker 1: look at the New York Times proposed questions, they are absurd.
Speaker 1: They asked the president to go back seventeen months. And remember,
Speaker 1: remember this is a criminal case. This is not some
Speaker 1: oral history for the library. You have guys and everyone
Speaker 1: who want to destroy him, who want him to tell
Speaker 1: them what he said or what he thought in a
Speaker 1: particular meeting seventeen months ago at a time when the
Speaker 1: President States is dealing with Russia, Syria, Israel, Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 1: North Korea, Iran. Go down unless you say to yourself
Speaker 1: what I don't think you or I could remember accurately
Speaker 1: a meeting seven team months ago. And the way these
Speaker 1: questions are worded in the New York Times version, they're
Speaker 1: they're they're entirely a trapped They're designed to set the
Speaker 1: president up for either perjury or obstruction or justice, and
Speaker 1: there are no circumstances where he should agree to go
Speaker 1: into that room because the whole thing is a trap,
Speaker 1: and I think they should call Rosenstein's buff I don't
Speaker 1: think Rosenstein man is going to look particularly given what's
Speaker 1: has happened in Judge Ellis's court today. I don't think
Speaker 1: Rosenstein is going to give Muller the authority to take
Speaker 1: the President of States and then compel him to testify.
Speaker 1: And I think the other push him right up to
Speaker 1: the wall on that and if necessary, go into cournament. Well.
Speaker 1: I think that then it goes all the way to
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. And Levine was rightly saying, it goes
Speaker 1: against Justice Department, their own policy, their own procedures, past precedents,
Speaker 1: and and certainly take it all the way to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, because if that's what Mueller wants, the type
Speaker 1: of showdown he wants, and that's the type of showdown
Speaker 1: he's gonna get here. Um. I do think there's not
Speaker 1: equal justice and of the law either. I also think
Speaker 1: there's we don't have the equal application of laws. We
Speaker 1: certainly know that Hillary committed felonies numerous felonies obstructed justice,
Speaker 1: and I think the over overwhelming and controvertible evidence is
Speaker 1: in they fixed and rigged that case, as Rudy Giuliani
Speaker 1: believes as well in the interview that he had with
Speaker 1: me the other night. Then you have the whole issue
Speaker 1: of the FISA court where you had Hillary Clinton bought
Speaker 1: and paid for foreign national hired, funneled money, paying for
Speaker 1: Russian sources, Russian government sources, to manipulate the American people.
Speaker 1: But it's then used as the bulk of information presented
Speaker 1: in an application to spy on an American citizen a
Speaker 1: Trump campaign associate, and they never tell the judge that
Speaker 1: it's not verified, that it's never corroborated, and they never
Speaker 1: tell the judges four times with three subsequent renewals, that
Speaker 1: in fact, Hillary paid for it all. What is that?
Speaker 1: That to me is lying to a judge. You know.
Speaker 1: Andy McCarthy had a great line in a recent column.
Speaker 1: He said, the rules of the game are that the
Speaker 1: Democrats get away with murderer or Republicans get murdered. Uh.
Speaker 1: And in judicial terms, that's exactly right. Uh. And he
Speaker 1: and he makes the he makes the point that the
Speaker 1: Obama campaign had some NPC violations. Uh, they basically settled
Speaker 1: with a fine and get rid of it. At the
Speaker 1: same time there was a conservative Republican or dollar violation.
Speaker 1: They tried to put him in jail. Um. And this
Speaker 1: is a constant difference between how conservatives and Republicans are
Speaker 1: treated by the Justice Department and how liberals are treated.
Speaker 1: And I think that's where it's refreshing to see this
Speaker 1: judge take them on. And I think that he has
Speaker 1: certainly begun to puncture the balloon of whether or not
Speaker 1: this is a fair investigation. This is this is the
Speaker 1: single biggest day since this whole thing started. Somebody that
Speaker 1: actually seems to adhere to the rule of law understands
Speaker 1: what's really going on here. As we've been pointing out.
Speaker 1: We'll continue more with new King rich right as we
Speaker 1: continue with former Speaker of the House do ging rich Um. So,
Speaker 1: the President beefed up his his legal team. Emmett Floyd
Speaker 1: is now on board. Mayor Julianni is now on board.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you had a chance to watch
Speaker 1: my interview with the former mayor, but he has some
Speaker 1: very strong words for Hillary Clinton. She should be in jail. Uh.
Speaker 1: That James Comey is a pathological liar. Um that this
Speaker 1: is a witch hunt and never should have begun. And
Speaker 1: he was pleading with Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein to
Speaker 1: do the right thing and put an end to this madness.
Speaker 1: What is Jeff's What is Jeff Sessions doing? Well? I
Speaker 1: think this is where the question of whether or not
Speaker 1: Miller can actually move towards the subpoena begins to be
Speaker 1: very real. Um. And I think that Rosenstein is the
Speaker 1: one who really is in the crosshairs, and that the
Speaker 1: Session says to said, I don't even say love. You know,
Speaker 1: you've got to be prepared to stand up and do
Speaker 1: your job, and if you can't, you need to leave. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I think we're way to be on the point
Speaker 1: where anything that Sessions said about accusing himself matters, because
Speaker 1: none of this anymore relates to Russia. And so the
Speaker 1: reason that Sessions gave because he was under great pressure, remember,
Speaker 1: because of the whole Russian question um, no longer is
Speaker 1: valid and Sessions should reclaim being the attorney general of
Speaker 1: the entire department. And objective fact is that nothing Miller's
Speaker 1: doing today has anything to do with Russia. It has
Speaker 1: everything to do. We're trying to find a way to
Speaker 1: get the president either on obstruction or on perjury, and
Speaker 1: neither of those relate to the reason that you had
Speaker 1: that you had Sessions originally recused himself. What do you
Speaker 1: think of, Rob Rosenstein? We do have separation of powers.
Speaker 1: Congress has been trying and stymied and stonewall by the
Speaker 1: d J over subpoena materials they've been asking for. And
Speaker 1: Rosenstein said that he's not going to be extorted. What
Speaker 1: did you make of that? Remark? Well, that's a goofy
Speaker 1: Remarkably is the truth is the Congress has a legitimate
Speaker 1: right to demand the inform nation. Uh. And I think
Speaker 1: they can either subpoena him or they can just start
Speaker 1: cutting off funding. Uh. You know, the Congress is not
Speaker 1: powerless in a fight with the executive branch. Uh. But
Speaker 1: in this case, it's really strange. You have the Congress
Speaker 1: trying to get information. And I said, I just saw
Speaker 1: that the FBI indicated that some information that people were
Speaker 1: asking for in a Freedom of Information Act they might
Speaker 1: be able to get them by October. Uh. Now that's
Speaker 1: just a deliberate stall. And I think that there's an
Speaker 1: absurdity going on here as you know, uh and and
Speaker 1: you and I think you'll likely to see both the
Speaker 1: Houses and the Judiciary Committee chairman take very strong measures
Speaker 1: to compel Justice to send over the material. All right,
Speaker 1: Mr Speaker, thanks for being with us. We appreciate it.
Speaker 1: We will have all the latest information on Hannity tonight,
Speaker 1: nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. We'll take a break,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. Your calls are coming up next our
Speaker 1: news round up with Eraldo Rivera and Dan Bongino on
Speaker 1: this very topic. Herschel Walker starts stops by today and
Speaker 1: much more as we continue alright now, so the top
Speaker 1: of the our one Shawn, if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program. I mean just amazing news
Speaker 1: that we have here today. I mean, this is the
Speaker 1: biggest Mueller beat down day that we have seen to date.
Speaker 1: I mean an excoriation by this judge. Finally there is
Speaker 1: somebody that is standing up to what has become an
Speaker 1: abuse of power at a massive level. You know, look
Speaker 1: at the team that it was put together from the
Speaker 1: get go. Doesn't mean this is the end, but it
Speaker 1: certainly gives hope that there are people that get it,
Speaker 1: that understand that the Justice system is not to be
Speaker 1: played with in this country, and the same with the
Speaker 1: rule of law and everything else in between. Mattaphor Judge
Speaker 1: is now ordering Mueller to produce the Rosenstein memo that
Speaker 1: authorized the no knock rate. Really, what I mean? Did
Speaker 1: you have to come in guns blazing to make a
Speaker 1: big deal about it, when in fact he could have
Speaker 1: surrendered willingly with his attorney in his living room or
Speaker 1: stay outside where you can see him when you pull up.
Speaker 1: You know, we're not talking about drug dealers in the
Speaker 1: mob here and murderers here. Never mind the fact that
Speaker 1: none of what the Mantaphoor case was about, saying with
Speaker 1: General Flynn, to be honest, had a thing to do
Speaker 1: with Trump Russia collusion and then the double standard, which
Speaker 1: I talk about all the time. I won't go into
Speaker 1: it now. I want to get to some of the
Speaker 1: phones here. One Seawan our toll free telephone number. You
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. We got.
Speaker 1: Scott is in Staten Island. Scott, Hi, how are you
Speaker 1: the all New AM seven ten w O R The
Speaker 1: Talk of New York. I'm good, sir Um. It's really
Speaker 1: getting ridiculous with Milla. Okay, he acts like he runs
Speaker 1: the country. Um, it's actually like a Twilight Zone episode.
Speaker 1: What's happening right now? Um? The president seems like he really,
Speaker 1: he's doing everything he could possibly do right now for
Speaker 1: the country. Nobody, nobody's talking about it. And then you know,
Speaker 1: you got Muller sitting up there just looking down upon
Speaker 1: everybody and the President as if this man is the complete, horrible,
Speaker 1: horrible person that he's portraying this guy to be. I
Speaker 1: believe that Mueller is a sick, sick man and he
Speaker 1: just gets off on putting people in prison. And that's it. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't know Mueller personally. I'm looking at the people
Speaker 1: that he's appointed. I'm looking at the partisan nature of it.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the ethical issues that many of these
Speaker 1: these people have, and I'm saying to myself, I don't
Speaker 1: like it. It's it's obviously he has stacked the deck.
Speaker 1: His tactics have been overly aggressive. You know, there is
Speaker 1: something that is called prosecutorial discretion in these cases here.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the same thing reminds me that the
Speaker 1: School to Libby case Patrick. You know, remember the charge
Speaker 1: was that Patrick Fitzgerald was supposed to find the leaker
Speaker 1: as it relates to the Fallerie plane case, because she
Speaker 1: was a covert operative. Well turned out she wasn't a
Speaker 1: covert operative anyway. Number one. Number two, he found out
Speaker 1: on either day one or day two that the leaker
Speaker 1: was Richard Armitage, and he kept going and going and
Speaker 1: going and going, and and it was the same thing
Speaker 1: this judge was excoriating Robert Mueller's team for today, and
Speaker 1: that is they wanted Scooter Libby to say something about
Speaker 1: Vice President Cheney because they wanted to get Cheney, and
Speaker 1: Scooter Libby would never do it because he wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: make up a lie. And that's what they want them
Speaker 1: to do. And that's what I can't understand, because you know,
Speaker 1: you they talk about everybody wants truth, truth, but obviously
Speaker 1: they don't. They want people just lie and chewing. I
Speaker 1: don't understand Sessions. Sessions, why hasn't he been fired? I listen,
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing. And at the times
Speaker 1: he gives you a little glimmer of hope, but it's
Speaker 1: his department that is slow walking the investigations into everything
Speaker 1: that Congress has been wanting and demanding and subpoena documents
Speaker 1: for and the fact that Rod Rosenstein himself, who's conflicted.
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's the guy that said Comey should
Speaker 1: be fired. He's witnessed a I don't know how you
Speaker 1: say that the president's fired him for obstruction when Rosens
Speaker 1: Rosenstein is the guy that said it, and then on
Speaker 1: and then on top of it, you know, then he's
Speaker 1: one of the guys that signed off on that ridiculous
Speaker 1: FISA warrant with the bulk of information, unproven, unverified lies
Speaker 1: from Russia from a foreign national paid for by Hillary.
Speaker 1: It's the whole thing. You can't even make this up,
Speaker 1: and it needs to come to an end. If other
Speaker 1: why is this is not gonna end well for the country.
Speaker 1: The whole thing as of now, it's not going well
Speaker 1: for anybody in the country. You know how we go
Speaker 1: from Russia collusion, then you actually find some Russian lines
Speaker 1: paid for for one candidate, used to get a FISA
Speaker 1: warrant to spy on an American. I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: from these FISA judges that were lied to some This
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. That's why everything that we thought the liberal
Speaker 1: media was telling us is all flipped on them. Anyway, Scott,
Speaker 1: you have a great weekend. Appreciate it. Uh. Mike is
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, Florida, w o k V. What's up, Mike,
Speaker 1: How are you happy Friday? Sir? Hey? Thanks John. Um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was my question. I saw your interview with Mayor Giuliani,
Speaker 1: and my big takeaway after watching the whole interview is
Speaker 1: where is Jeff Sessions. It's it's um, it's amazing that
Speaker 1: the mayor has talked about all of these crimes and
Speaker 1: nothing's happened. Um. So yeah, yeah, I wonder is his
Speaker 1: Sessions either part of the swamp or is he afraid
Speaker 1: of being destroyed by the Democrats. But but either way,
Speaker 1: he's not doing anything. So he could the President just say, hey,
Speaker 1: Sessions isn't doing anything, and I'm gonna give this whole
Speaker 1: thing sixty or ninety days and if it doesn't get
Speaker 1: wrapped up, I had the constitutional right to end this
Speaker 1: under Article two. He can fire Rosenstein. Rosenstein, he can
Speaker 1: fire Sessions, he can fire Muller, the whole thing, and
Speaker 1: then then it becomes a political disaster for the country.
Speaker 1: I mean, and he said this week, I might at
Speaker 1: some point have to step in here. And it's something
Speaker 1: because it's running muck. This is not how a justice
Speaker 1: system is supposed to work. That's what made this one judge,
Speaker 1: that a one judge finally understood it and stated it
Speaker 1: and was unequivocal in his condemnation of it. And he
Speaker 1: nailed what these prosecutors do day in and day out.
Speaker 1: They don't care about Paul Manafort in two thousand and
Speaker 1: five and six. They never have. All they want is, well,
Speaker 1: whoa can can you give me information to get the president,
Speaker 1: even if you have to make it up? And now
Speaker 1: so he So, if you're facing thirty years in jail
Speaker 1: and the guy said, I'll make a deal with you.
Speaker 1: Just give me something that is incriminating against this person
Speaker 1: and you go free, that's a pretty tempting offer when
Speaker 1: you're facing thirty years in jail. And if people don't
Speaker 1: have integrity, they would say they they'll say anything to
Speaker 1: get out of thirty years in prison. That's why I've
Speaker 1: never understood criminals, you know, you know, look at the
Speaker 1: case of Sammy the Bull Gravano. You know, okay, flipped
Speaker 1: on on on John Gotti, but he still had killed
Speaker 1: nineteen people, you know, and he got a free He
Speaker 1: gotta pass. You got to live a new identity, new
Speaker 1: life out in Arizona. You know, it's at that point,
Speaker 1: it's I just don't agree with it. Maybe a lessoning
Speaker 1: of the sentence, maybe twenty five years in jail for
Speaker 1: a team murders, but not to go free and get
Speaker 1: put in a witness protection program. I don't know the
Speaker 1: whole thing. We really we need to be careful because
Speaker 1: and and the fact that Hillary goes free. We're criminalizing
Speaker 1: political differences here. Hillary did commit crimes. They did rig
Speaker 1: the investigation. There was Russian interference in this election. Hillary
Speaker 1: paid for Russian lines to manipulate the American people, and
Speaker 1: then they lied to fights a court judge. In an
Speaker 1: original application and three subsequent applications. Rod Rosenstein signed off
Speaker 1: on one of them. Uh, Levi, our friend from Detroit, Michigan.
Speaker 1: What's up, Levi? How are you? My friend? And all
Speaker 1: my what's going on? My brother from another mother? Mr Levi?
Speaker 1: I missed your voice. It's been too long. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you're still with us. What's going on? My friend? Yes, sir, Yes,
Speaker 1: And let me say this, man, I would have never
Speaker 1: imagined in a thousand years that I would be spending
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Let me start off by saying that you're
Speaker 1: talking to a staunch liberal, someone who has voted democratic
Speaker 1: all my life, very progressive in my thinking. But I
Speaker 1: don't say this to you, brother. He should fire mother.
Speaker 1: And the reason why I say that is because I
Speaker 1: agree that it is a witch hunt. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a turning up the tide here shine where you have
Speaker 1: a lot of free thinking African Americans. Now, do I
Speaker 1: agree with the Republican Party and the conservative agenda one percent? No?
Speaker 1: I do not. However, I have to call it how
Speaker 1: I see it. And when I see President Trump being
Speaker 1: opposed on all sides, even by those within the Republican establishment,
Speaker 1: I asked myself, because this guy be all that bad?
Speaker 1: I voted for Barack Obama twice, and I said openly
Speaker 1: for anyone to hear that I felt that he did,
Speaker 1: in fact turn a blind eye and a deaf ear
Speaker 1: to what was going on not only throughout all the
Speaker 1: major cities in America, but the contage that was taking
Speaker 1: place in Chicago, where he was from. So I'm not
Speaker 1: going to walk lockstep with any group, any political party.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it from now on how I see it.
Speaker 1: I agree with Kanye West that we have to subscribe
Speaker 1: to free thought if we're going to move America forward.
Speaker 1: And that's my comment. My dear brother. Al right, my friend,
Speaker 1: my yeah, we are brothers. How many years we've been together?
Speaker 1: Now you've been calling this program. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: can't even call them brother. I used I used to
Speaker 1: give you such a hard time about about Louis Farracount.
Speaker 1: I gave you such a hard time, and now you
Speaker 1: don't even like Farracon Pope. I love. I'll never renounce.
Speaker 1: I'll never renounce them. But I'm just keeping it real, bro.
Speaker 1: That's all I could do is keep it real. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Yes, sir, all right, my friend,
Speaker 1: God bless you have a great weekend and leave my
Speaker 1: eight nine for one. Sean told free telephone number. Mary
Speaker 1: Anne is in Calamazoo, Michigan. Hey Marianne, how are you.
Speaker 1: We're glad you called. Happy Friday. I'm I'm doing great.
Speaker 1: Happy Friday to you, also, Sean, thank you for kicking
Speaker 1: my call. Thank you. I just wanted to say that
Speaker 1: I attended the Trump rally in Washington, Michigan on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and the enthusiasm was, oh my gosh, it was crazy.
Speaker 1: It was wonderful, And the one thing I took away
Speaker 1: from it was that he actually brought up Maxine Water's
Speaker 1: name and the impeachment and that like a broken record exactly,
Speaker 1: and that um, he was saying that, and he haven't
Speaker 1: done anything wrong, and he hasn't done anything wrong. And
Speaker 1: as you said earlier, they're looking for anything they can find.
Speaker 1: And I guess my point is that going into the election,
Speaker 1: we need to really look at who we're going to back,
Speaker 1: and that makes sure that that the House and Senate
Speaker 1: are secure, so they cannot advance this impeachment because they'll
Speaker 1: look for anything they can do. Listen, I will tell
Speaker 1: you right now, and this is I say this with
Speaker 1: all my heart. This is scary. This is a scary,
Speaker 1: scary time here, and it's scary for a lot of reasons.
Speaker 1: Because this election now is a referendum on whether the
Speaker 1: country wants to go down that road of impeachment. Will
Speaker 1: now go down in history as one of the most
Speaker 1: important midterm elections ever. Spread the word because by the
Speaker 1: time November comes, everybody's got to understand what is on
Speaker 1: the line here. It's a lot. It's about undoing a
Speaker 1: presidential election. Uh, Listen, you have a great weekend, Marianne.
Speaker 1: Right as we head back for our busy telephones, here
Speaker 1: we say hi to kurt Is in Texas. Kurt, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Sir Sean You're imminent?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? No? No, thank you. I don't
Speaker 1: want the job. I appreciated the how about your old glory?
Speaker 1: To those above, well, hey, I got I got one
Speaker 1: suggestion for you and then one series. Okay, So first
Speaker 1: I start with the suggestion, don't call the Robert Mueller
Speaker 1: special counsel or special prosecutor. This guy is nothing more
Speaker 1: than a special pretender, and that's what he needs to
Speaker 1: be called, because he's just pretending. So moving on from that,
Speaker 1: I believe that I have a theory that possibly, uh
Speaker 1: the reason why Sessions in Rosan Steam are not doing
Speaker 1: anything as far as you know, moving this investigation along,
Speaker 1: or even Sessions jumping in and saying, hey, look this
Speaker 1: now has nothing to do with Russia collusion. So we
Speaker 1: need to, you know, put an end to this. Is
Speaker 1: because they both know that if they do that and
Speaker 1: then this comes to a close, they're gonna be fired
Speaker 1: because obviously Trump does not approve of what they're doing.
Speaker 1: And have been doing, and they're gonna lose all the
Speaker 1: power that they have. I think today is the beginning
Speaker 1: of a long process is going to be long on
Speaker 1: for Jially, I wish it was gonna be faster where
Speaker 1: this whole thing is going to come crumbling down. And
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a desperation evolving in the
Speaker 1: deep state that we've never seen before. Um yeah, look
Speaker 1: we see it in the ratcheted up investigations and attacks
Speaker 1: on yours. Truly. I mean you know that there there
Speaker 1: are those that hate what we have been able to
Speaker 1: do here and that is exposed this corruption and exposed
Speaker 1: this abuse of power and debunk lies as it relates
Speaker 1: to Trump Russia collusion, and get the truth to the
Speaker 1: American people. So you know, there is uh, there's certainly
Speaker 1: a price to pay when you take on these people
Speaker 1: in power. But I can't imagine an America where they win,
Speaker 1: because if they win, where Venezuela, God help us. We
Speaker 1: gotta protect that which so many fought, bled and died for.
Speaker 1: And that's a constitution, the rule of law, equal justice
Speaker 1: under the law, equal application of our laws. All right,
Speaker 1: I gotta take a break. News round up in for
Speaker 1: Nation Overload is next to Roaldo Rovera and Dan Bongino.
Speaker 1: Straight ahead, as we continue this Friday edition of The
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. You have a group of investigators and
Speaker 1: they say that I am not a target, and I'm
Speaker 1: not a target. But you have a group of investigators
Speaker 1: that are all Democrats. In some cases they went to
Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton celebration that turned out to be a funeral.
Speaker 1: So you have all these investigators, they're Democrats. In all fairness,
Speaker 1: Bob Mueller worked for Obama for eight years. You look
Speaker 1: at the statements that would me if you take a look,
Speaker 1: as an example, at the Rod Rosenstein letter to me
Speaker 1: prior to the firing of James Coleby. Just read it,
Speaker 1: put it in there. Your viewers don't know about it.
Speaker 1: Put that letter on the air. It's very much speak
Speaker 1: very loudly. And that's just one thing. Bottom line is.
Speaker 1: Bottom line is I want to talk to the people
Speaker 1: in charge if it can prove that it's a fair situation.
Speaker 1: The problem we have is that you have thirteen people.
Speaker 1: They're all Democrats, and they're real democrats, they're angry Democrats,
Speaker 1: and that's not a fair situation. Thank you, everybody. Secretary
Speaker 1: Clinton is someone deeply a meshed in the rule of law,
Speaker 1: respect for institutions, a lawyer. There is evidence that they
Speaker 1: were extremely careless in their handling a very sensitive, highly
Speaker 1: classified information. All right, that, of course the president responding
Speaker 1: to this witch hunt. And you know, look at the
Speaker 1: hypocrisy of James Comey, President propraising Hillary Clinton as someone
Speaker 1: that actually respects the rule of law. And she's a lawyer. Okay, really,
Speaker 1: when we know all the crimes she committed mishandling classified,
Speaker 1: top secret special access programming information. Interestingly, Comey himself may
Speaker 1: now be facing the same exact investigation in his violation
Speaker 1: of of the information he gave out to people he
Speaker 1: now hired as his attorneys, which he never should have done,
Speaker 1: which is illegal. And Hillary then, of course, wasn't obstructing
Speaker 1: justice when she asked to wash the computer and deleted
Speaker 1: subpoena emails and broke up her devices. But the big
Speaker 1: news of the days we start our news round up
Speaker 1: information overload. Finally, at long last, we have a judge
Speaker 1: that has excoriated and called out Robert Muller and the
Speaker 1: witch hunt investigation that he has involved in. Now, this
Speaker 1: was in the Paul Manafort case earlier today, and literally
Speaker 1: the judge's name is T. S. Ellis, and he accused
Speaker 1: Mueller's prosecutors his words of lying. And Judge Ellis said
Speaker 1: the only reason Mueller was pursuing charges against Manaphort was
Speaker 1: to get him to flip on President Trump so Mueller
Speaker 1: could make a case for impeachment. I mean I almost
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, taking a dive in the pool
Speaker 1: to be happy. It's it's finally so refreshing. Somebody's getting it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this judge in Alexandria, Virginia, you know, expressing real deep
Speaker 1: skepticism today about the validity of the indictments against Manafort,
Speaker 1: and Manafort appeared in court early today seeking the dismissal
Speaker 1: of the charges outlined in the Virginia indictment. The judge
Speaker 1: appeared very receptive and as lawyers were arguing that because
Speaker 1: the counts were not directly related to the Russia investigation,
Speaker 1: they should be dismissed, so the judge literally told Mueller's prosecutors, quote,
Speaker 1: I don't see what relation this indictment has to do,
Speaker 1: has has with the special counsel is authorized to investigate.
Speaker 1: You don't really care about Mr Manafort's bank fraud. What
Speaker 1: you really care about is what information Mr Manafort could
Speaker 1: give you that would reflect on Mr Trump or lead
Speaker 1: to his prosecution or impeachment. Prosecutor said Friday that their
Speaker 1: investigated powers were outlined in both Rod Rosenstein's letter appointing
Speaker 1: Muller in May and a memo that he issued in August,
Speaker 1: and they added that he also had additional authority that
Speaker 1: they could not disclose in the courtroom because it was
Speaker 1: related to an ongoing investigation and could affect national security.
Speaker 1: But Ellis reportedly wasn't buying any of this. The judge
Speaker 1: characterizing the Special Counsel's office is, uh, the Special counsel
Speaker 1: offices argument is quote we said this is this was
Speaker 1: what the investigation was about, but we're not bound by
Speaker 1: it and we were lying. Come on, man his words.
Speaker 1: The judge didn't immediately rule on the motion to dismiss,
Speaker 1: but it's it's fascinating and although Muller's authority has been
Speaker 1: tested in court before, this hearing today is notable as
Speaker 1: this judge now and his decision as he wades into
Speaker 1: the you know, divisive political debate around the investigation. I
Speaker 1: mean to think about this you really don't care about Mr.
Speaker 1: Manaford's bank fraud, he told the prosecutor, at times losing
Speaker 1: his temper today and Ellis said prosecutors were interested in
Speaker 1: Manafort because of his potential to provide material that would
Speaker 1: lead to Trump's prosecution or impeachment. The judge said, we
Speaker 1: don't want anyone in this country with unfettered power. He
Speaker 1: went on, it's unlikely you're gonna persuade me. The special
Speaker 1: prosecutor has power to do anything he or she wants.
Speaker 1: Ellis said, the American people feel pretty strongly that no
Speaker 1: one has unfettered power. And when the prosecution tried to
Speaker 1: answer the questions about the investigation, etcetera, etcetera, you know
Speaker 1: none of that information has to do with the information
Speaker 1: related to Russian government coordination in the campaign of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And then Ellis posed a hypothetical question, speaking as if
Speaker 1: he were the prosecutor, about why Mueller's office referred a
Speaker 1: criminal investigation about Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cone to New
Speaker 1: York authorities and kept the Mantaphor case in Virginia. They're
Speaker 1: not interested in it because it didn't further our core
Speaker 1: effort to get Trump, Ellis said, mimicking a prosecutor in
Speaker 1: the case. Wow. Aldo Rivera joins us. Stan Bongino joins us, Araldo,
Speaker 1: you're an attorney. That is a beatdown. That is a slapdown.
Speaker 1: It really is a stunned Uh and courageous stands by
Speaker 1: the judge. He's calling a space bade. He's piercing all
Speaker 1: the political and legal mumbo jumbo, the niceodies, and he
Speaker 1: is telling us that the emperor has no clothes. He's
Speaker 1: basically telling us, Uh, you know that the prosecutors ruthless
Speaker 1: and highly focused motivation was to torpedo and sabotage the
Speaker 1: President of the United States. I think that it is.
Speaker 1: I have never in my long career, I have never
Speaker 1: heard a judge so frank and so direct and so
Speaker 1: dramatic in his assessment of a special prosecutor. He have
Speaker 1: Muller with his demeanor and his reputation and his august
Speaker 1: air uh and his his patrician daring. And this is
Speaker 1: nobility personified. And this judge says, hey, wait a second,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not what's really happening. The guy is
Speaker 1: is full of it. What he wants is as a
Speaker 1: harshly political resolution. Uh. Ending in an impeachment of the
Speaker 1: city president. I think it's very stunning. I think it's stunning,
Speaker 1: and it could actually I think I think now this
Speaker 1: is going to be the beginning of a very long
Speaker 1: process where there's going to be more of these moments
Speaker 1: because obviously the I can't wait to hear from the
Speaker 1: FISA judges, for example, Dan Bongino, that were presented unverified,
Speaker 1: uncorroborated Clinton bought and paid for Russian lies, and Warren
Speaker 1: told that Hillary Clinton paid for the propaganda. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to hear from them, because you know, I kind
Speaker 1: of I kind of no judges a little bit, and
Speaker 1: they kind of like to be referred to as yes,
Speaker 1: your honoring, no, your honor, yes ma'am, no, no sir, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: or no ma'am. Uh. They're not going to tolerate being
Speaker 1: like to at such a spectacular level like this. Right,
Speaker 1: and it's highly unlikely at this point that they were
Speaker 1: told the truth if you think about this, right, it's
Speaker 1: the basis for this spying operation, and these spies a
Speaker 1: warrants was a spying operation against Carter Page at least
Speaker 1: that you know that much reported to publicly released reporting
Speaker 1: and documents. If Carter Page is the the greatest Russian
Speaker 1: spy of our generation, you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 1: And why is he out to media interviews all over
Speaker 1: the place on the You're running free today again? How
Speaker 1: you say court designed to take down terrorists to spy
Speaker 1: on a campaign in opposing political campaign while the Barack
Speaker 1: Obama team was in power. Yet the guy you used
Speaker 1: to do it is still running free. That says to
Speaker 1: me you had nothing the entire time. You know, I
Speaker 1: said on your box show of the other night, I said, listen,
Speaker 1: you can't fabricate collusion that didn't happen. They have no case, John.
Speaker 1: They are investigating Trump. They are not investigating a crime.
Speaker 1: This couldn't be any clearer. I reading the tea leaves here,
Speaker 1: and I never like to do this in any type
Speaker 1: of court proceeding, especially Supreme Court arguments. Haraldo, and this
Speaker 1: wasn't the Supreme Court. But I don't see this judge
Speaker 1: in any way going along with Mueller's team, and I
Speaker 1: would I sense here that these charges are going to
Speaker 1: be dropped for the very purpose that had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the Special Council charge of Rod Rosenstein. At
Speaker 1: the very least shown. What you'll see is an extended
Speaker 1: litigation with the government will appeal. The judge is very
Speaker 1: pointed ruling uh and and very very harsh ruling. I
Speaker 1: think they'll do it to try to redeem their own reputation.
Speaker 1: But I think that what has happened is here you
Speaker 1: have a sitting federal judge who has basically announced to
Speaker 1: the world that the Special counsel's entire intent has been
Speaker 1: to use whatever means necessary to take down the forty
Speaker 1: fifth presidents of the United States by going after manifort,
Speaker 1: by going after extracting the police from Gate uh Flynn
Speaker 1: General Flynn, uh, the Michael Cohen flamboyant raid in in
Speaker 1: New York. I think that you'll have it. You'll have
Speaker 1: a simler I believe a similar finding or certainly a
Speaker 1: similar argument in the New York in the Southern District
Speaker 1: case with the raid on the attorney's office. It is
Speaker 1: pretty clear that you have a rabid desire that is
Speaker 1: a political rather than legal or just go quick break.
Speaker 1: We will come back final half hour. Friend Herschel Walker
Speaker 1: stops by. That's gonna be fun. Love Herschel, who has
Speaker 1: just given a position by the President. We'll get to
Speaker 1: that and more this Friday edition of The Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: All Right, as we continue with Dan Bongino and Haraldo
Speaker 1: Rivera here on The Sean Hannity Show, you know, I
Speaker 1: just if I I'm thinking, if I'm the prosecutor in
Speaker 1: that case and that judge is saying it to me,
Speaker 1: I am humiliated today. I am embarrassed today, and at
Speaker 1: some point that this is you know, so often with
Speaker 1: these prosecutors, they lose all perspective. If if you listen to,
Speaker 1: for example, Mike Caputo and his very very passionate description
Speaker 1: of what they did to destroy his family. You know,
Speaker 1: he said, this is a punishment strategy. I think they
Speaker 1: want to destroy the president. They want to destroy his family,
Speaker 1: they want to destroy his business, they want to destroy
Speaker 1: his friends, so that no billionaire and say fifteen years
Speaker 1: is ever gonna wake up and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: the country's broken, and I think I'm the only one
Speaker 1: that can fix it. His wife will say, are you crazy?
Speaker 1: Look what they did to Donald Trump and everybody around him.
Speaker 1: This guy Michael Capputo lost his home because I llegal
Speaker 1: fees while he was trying to serve his country, but
Speaker 1: now had to spend all of this money hiring lawyers.
Speaker 1: He's now back living with his father. He's on TV
Speaker 1: tonight with us. These are real lives, Dan, and we
Speaker 1: cannot let this stand, this deliberate strategy. Understand this that
Speaker 1: for a reason that Caputo piece, by the way, is incredible,
Speaker 1: and he says a hell for doing this. They took
Speaker 1: a six figures from this guy, came out of his
Speaker 1: kids college funds. He had a move. He now has
Speaker 1: to go you know, money again to pay all these
Speaker 1: weeks with those because what because he did exactly what
Speaker 1: you just said. He had to to merit and they
Speaker 1: say that sarcastically to go work for a Republican campaign,
Speaker 1: so him, this is a message. The message being sent
Speaker 1: to you is anyone who touches Donald Trump is gonna
Speaker 1: go down and you're gonna use the machine of government
Speaker 1: to attack you, bankrupt you, and bankrupt your kids. All
Speaker 1: based on a line. Sean, what I both know it
Speaker 1: if we thought for a second that Donald Trump kid
Speaker 1: paid and sincerely colluded with the Russians to overturn an
Speaker 1: election in the United States, Republicans will be the first
Speaker 1: one out there. A lot of slap rats, don't like
Speaker 1: this guy either even on the Republican side, there's nothing there, Sean.
Speaker 1: They ruined this guy's life. They're ruining the president's life,
Speaker 1: his kid's life, and anyone in his orbit almost because
Speaker 1: they won an election. That is it. There is nothing
Speaker 1: nothing there? Yeah, well there is nothing there. Um, Where
Speaker 1: does it go? All those talk this week about Rudy
Speaker 1: Giuliani and Mark Levin I think was just dead on
Speaker 1: accurate last night. All the constitutional power really is with
Speaker 1: the president, gerraldo Um. You know, all this talk about
Speaker 1: the president's gonna sit down here, they didn't. They do
Speaker 1: not have the power. You know, if the president uses
Speaker 1: his powers under Article two, for example, the president could
Speaker 1: end all of this. He hasn't done it. He's tried
Speaker 1: to patiently go through the process. But the president, you know,
Speaker 1: it is not as complicated. If the Constitution is on
Speaker 1: the side of the president, he has the ability to
Speaker 1: end this any time he wants. But he hasn't wanted
Speaker 1: to do that. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: the president can do that in other words, you know,
Speaker 1: and and what he should be doing is taking and
Speaker 1: challenging every move by Mueller. That is an abuse of
Speaker 1: power and abuse of his authority and abuse of the
Speaker 1: mandate that was set down originally in this case, can do,
Speaker 1: though sean is different than should do. What has to
Speaker 1: happen now, in my view, is you need urgent discussions
Speaker 1: between the President's Council and the Special Counsel on agreeing,
Speaker 1: and it could be in the context of the special
Speaker 1: counsel must limit the scope of what he's doing. Is
Speaker 1: that a person on earth who could withstand an entire unlimited,
Speaker 1: highly skilled, highly motivated, highly partisans attacked by UH prosecutors
Speaker 1: like the team Mueller has assembled. Nobody could withstand that
Speaker 1: much less someone who's lived as flamboyant the life as
Speaker 1: President Trump had nobody ever gonna want to run for
Speaker 1: office ever. Well, I but that be that as it may.
Speaker 1: Right now, our concern is this president, and I think
Speaker 1: that firing Mueller will not solve the problem. I think
Speaker 1: getting Mueller into a some kind of scale where he
Speaker 1: can pledge before the court that this is what I'm
Speaker 1: going to do, placate or satisfy this judge's concerns. I'm
Speaker 1: not New York was a was a mistake. UH, Manafort's
Speaker 1: got to be limited. Now, let's let's decide what this
Speaker 1: special counsel is doing. And I think the I'd love
Speaker 1: to see Congress, including Democrats, support the President in terms
Speaker 1: of his his his righteous anguish over the unbridled nature
Speaker 1: of this investigation. I gotta let it in there. Thank
Speaker 1: you both of being one of us eight nine for one,
Speaker 1: Shawn or toll free telephone number you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program. So Happy Friday. Incredible news
Speaker 1: breaking day to day. We'll have more obviously on this
Speaker 1: beat down a Mueller on Hannity tonight at nine, But
Speaker 1: first we got some other breaking news. President Trump made
Speaker 1: an appointment Bill Belichick, coach of the New England Patriots,
Speaker 1: and Herschel Walker, friend of this program, to his brand
Speaker 1: new sports counsel. I couldn't be happier. And it's always
Speaker 1: a privilege and honor and a pleasure to welcome back
Speaker 1: one of the greatest best football players and athletes of
Speaker 1: all time, Herschel Walkers back with us. How are you,
Speaker 1: my friend? And oh man, how are you doing? Um?
Speaker 1: I am so happy for you. I mean, well, how
Speaker 1: long has this been in the works. Well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: hate to say, have been in the works a long time,
Speaker 1: you know. At President Trump for a long time, and
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be a part of his council because
Speaker 1: you know, I started out with him and the football
Speaker 1: sort of arena, and now to be back on the
Speaker 1: president Fitness Council is important though. This is something I've
Speaker 1: been working on then watching them for eighteen years, talking
Speaker 1: to corners about physical education, and now with the President
Speaker 1: now putting me on the fitness council, I'm proud of
Speaker 1: that and I'm happy and I'm just happy to be
Speaker 1: back with him because everything going on around him, I'm
Speaker 1: happy to be there. You are a big President Trump supporter,
Speaker 1: as I am. Um, You've known him a long time.
Speaker 1: You watch these attacks against him every day. What do
Speaker 1: you think? I am sad and I'm mad at the
Speaker 1: same time because that's trying everything they can to get
Speaker 1: this guy to office. This guy one of legitimate election,
Speaker 1: one of legitimate election, but they're trying everything they can
Speaker 1: to get him out of office. And I think it's
Speaker 1: sad because he's doing so many great things and instead
Speaker 1: of them trying to get him out of office, why
Speaker 1: don't they help? You know? That's what I think these
Speaker 1: people gotta do, is they gotta remember if we help,
Speaker 1: we can be continue to be a great country. But
Speaker 1: if they continue to do what they're doing, that's just short.
Speaker 1: Washington had been doing their job because this man is
Speaker 1: doing this without their help. Do that meaning that if
Speaker 1: they pitch in, we can do even better. You know,
Speaker 1: I give out statistics and and maybe people's eyes roll over.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hope they don't because I think
Speaker 1: the statistics that I give out are important. And we're
Speaker 1: looking at an America now where fourteen states have record
Speaker 1: low unemployment numbers, record low the unemployment numbers three point
Speaker 1: nine percent. You have record low unemployment for the African
Speaker 1: American community, for the for the Hispanic community, for women
Speaker 1: in the workforce. You're seeing more jobs, more deduction, more
Speaker 1: people have more money in their pocket with their tax cuts.
Speaker 1: The president is doing the unthinkable with little Rocketman Kim
Speaker 1: Jong un, who has crossed the DMZ to meet the
Speaker 1: South Korean president and he's talking about uh an agreement
Speaker 1: that would end with the d nuclearization of the Korean
Speaker 1: peninsula UM And on top of that, he's he's made
Speaker 1: breakthrough strides with China that we've never had before to
Speaker 1: get free and fair trade. As the Chinese president is
Speaker 1: capitulated on intellectual property, on trade barriers, etcetera. So you know,
Speaker 1: and any defeated isis. And now we're on a path
Speaker 1: towards energy independence and he's talking about controlling our borders
Speaker 1: and he's had to do all of this with Robert
Speaker 1: Muller and company, who got the biggest beat down in
Speaker 1: court today, you know, breathing down his neck. Well, I
Speaker 1: think that's the problem you have, is that you're the
Speaker 1: only one that's doing it. You know, he used to
Speaker 1: look at Fox that the only one that talking to
Speaker 1: truth and I said, death was saying, you know, everyone
Speaker 1: now is worried about Donald, but worried about what happened
Speaker 1: with Mrs Clinton. You know what this is over right
Speaker 1: now he's the president and I think we need to
Speaker 1: have people in this country that respecting that you're the
Speaker 1: only want to giving those successors out which the American
Speaker 1: people need to know that. And I think they're starting
Speaker 1: to get tired because they see that. I think they
Speaker 1: see that he's doing a good job. They see that
Speaker 1: he's doing it. You look at his approving rating that's
Speaker 1: came up. It has came up, and I think the
Speaker 1: American people are starting to say Hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're tired of this and you and I've said it
Speaker 1: many times. The problem we have in Congress today, the
Speaker 1: problem we have this country's day, has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with presidents were electing right now. The problem we have
Speaker 1: is a Congress that don't get alone, won't even let
Speaker 1: him become to won't even let him be the leader.
Speaker 1: How in the world can you be elected to office
Speaker 1: and not be able to lead or elect the people
Speaker 1: you want to even be in the office with it.
Speaker 1: They won't even let him elect the people. He won't
Speaker 1: in the office with him. And I think that's sad.
Speaker 1: I think it's horrible, absolutely horrible. Um anyway, let me
Speaker 1: let me go on. You know, it's funny last time
Speaker 1: you were in studio, I guess people just think I'm
Speaker 1: all fire and that I don't work out. I don't
Speaker 1: work out as hard as you. But I thought I
Speaker 1: did a pretty strenuous workout, you know, as I do
Speaker 1: at least a hundreds sometimes two hundred pushups and the day,
Speaker 1: and I do a hundred situps absolutely every day. And
Speaker 1: I trained mixed martial art. You train mixed mixed martial arts.
Speaker 1: And we got down on the ground together and we
Speaker 1: actually videotaped it and it went fairly viral among my audience.
Speaker 1: And uh so, how did I do? Sean, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you you impressed me. And this is coming from
Speaker 1: martial worker. A lot of people don't impress me, you know,
Speaker 1: and you impressed me because you know when I first
Speaker 1: when we first met, I said, you look good. I said,
Speaker 1: you look good as you look like you've been working out.
Speaker 1: And when you got down on the floor with me
Speaker 1: and start doing the pushups, I said, you have been
Speaker 1: working out, And I was impressed. And like I said,
Speaker 1: I do do a lot of pushups and sit ups,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many how many push ups
Speaker 1: you do? What fift hundred a day? I do about
Speaker 1: day about ups? And you know, I'm always working out
Speaker 1: and right now being on the President Fitness Council, I
Speaker 1: better work out because I tell people all the time,
Speaker 1: you gotta practice what you preach. If you're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about it, you gotta be able to do it. And
Speaker 1: that's what I've been doing all my life. And I
Speaker 1: tried to incur people to do that. Listen, I don't
Speaker 1: know how you do so many Listen, I do an hour,
Speaker 1: hour and a half trading every day, five days a week,
Speaker 1: and I've gotten stronger than I've ever been in my life.
Speaker 1: I've been doing it, I guess maybe I probably now
Speaker 1: with my sixth year doing this, I got my second
Speaker 1: degree brown belt. Recently, I'm working towards my black belt
Speaker 1: and mixed martial arts. It's an eclectic blend of tempo
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu, uh, a problem of God in boxing and
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a hard art and it's real fighting,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, I'm I'm proud of it. But
Speaker 1: I can't imagine if I didn't start this when I
Speaker 1: was fifty, I'd be you know, fat and flabby and
Speaker 1: out of shape. And and I can't imagine I have
Speaker 1: more energy now than I did when I was forty. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's what a lot of people don't realize.
Speaker 1: It just gives you energy. And that's why I try
Speaker 1: to tell tell people about our kids in school that
Speaker 1: we were having schools today is people are trying to
Speaker 1: remove physical education out of schools, and I'm saying, guys,
Speaker 1: we gotta give kids activities that they have to do
Speaker 1: because it gives them energy and it is improving that
Speaker 1: grades are better, and also even in the workplace, and
Speaker 1: you and and even I'm and I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: this council right now, but what I want to say
Speaker 1: is I've been saying this for years, that I'm talking
Speaker 1: about physical education is more than just getting out kicking
Speaker 1: a soccer ball or just running around. We're talking about healthcare.
Speaker 1: We're talking about how they're gonna keep people healthy. And
Speaker 1: that's what I've been preaching all my life. I consider
Speaker 1: myself a healthy guy. What do you think of all
Speaker 1: these guys? I mean, you're an amazing you know, uh career,
Speaker 1: I mean just just phenomenal. Actually, you know SEC Player
Speaker 1: of the Year All American Um. I mean you know,
Speaker 1: you do mixed martial arts. You rushed eight thousand, two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five yards in your NFL career, I
Speaker 1: mean just phenomenal, receiving yards about five thousand of those.
Speaker 1: What do you think about this head injury issue involving
Speaker 1: NFL players? Because I know for a fact that you
Speaker 1: know a lot of guys have had that bell rung
Speaker 1: so often it really it kind of detaches their brain
Speaker 1: um from their skulls somewhat, and it it does cause
Speaker 1: severe damage well, you know that is that is real,
Speaker 1: and I think it is. It is a problem that
Speaker 1: I think the NFL is trying to address. And I
Speaker 1: said that they're trying to address it, and I think
Speaker 1: they've gotta address it. But one of the things that
Speaker 1: have to also address is determinant what is a concussion
Speaker 1: and what is not. You know, everyone that's had problems
Speaker 1: in the NFL is not from concussion, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: and not that pre church and work again, but you know,
Speaker 1: I work with the military, and one of the things
Speaker 1: I said, sometimes sometimes guys, you may do things out
Speaker 1: of bad habits. You may do things because you have
Speaker 1: a coping problem. And what I mean by that is
Speaker 1: sometimes you have problems because you're trying to cope with
Speaker 1: other problems you have, whether alcohol or drugs, that has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with concussion. So something I gotta determin
Speaker 1: was'n't concussion and what's your problem really is? And what
Speaker 1: I say is, what are the route Not just to
Speaker 1: Liam's on the tree, let's what are the roots and
Speaker 1: get down to what the problem is and we can
Speaker 1: have that tree to grow. And that's what I've learned
Speaker 1: in my life that you get down to what the
Speaker 1: serious problems are and we can determine what what can
Speaker 1: help you to blossom. All right, We're really proud to
Speaker 1: be your friend. Uh, your incredible, inspiring uh figure for everybody.
Speaker 1: You make me feel like my workouts little, but I
Speaker 1: think it's big in my own mind. Uh. President Trump
Speaker 1: appointing Bill Belichick and our Herschel Walker to his new
Speaker 1: sports counsel Herschel It's always an honor, my friend. God
Speaker 1: bless you, and thank you for sharing all this with
Speaker 1: you with us, and uh we look forward to seeing
Speaker 1: what you and Belichick can do together. Be fun. Hey,
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm I'm honored to be on the President
Speaker 1: Fitness Calvin Shun You always impressed. Man. I'm always watching you,
Speaker 1: and it takes people like you to keep this country
Speaker 1: doing the things that it is. Uh, listen, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm just wasn't a little spoken the wheel. That's
Speaker 1: how I look at It's like a team, right. You
Speaker 1: need you need blockers, you need eyes on the front line,
Speaker 1: you need a quarterback, you need people to run, you
Speaker 1: need people to play defense. So it's all part of
Speaker 1: an effort, all right, my friend, God bless you. This
Speaker 1: effort is to save the country and not let them
Speaker 1: undermine a duly elected president who's doing a great job.
