27
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: Nine f one, Shawn, if you want to be a

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: part of the program, how did Democrats sit? I mean,

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: it was so petty, petulant, ridiculous, funny on the one hand,

30
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: and it illustrates that they have no plan, no vision,

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: no ideas. They are void and empty as a party.

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: Not Look, I've said many of the same things about

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. They were lacking their backbone, their spine,

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: their vision. It seems that one thing is happening, and

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: that is that Donald Trump is getting them focused and

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: in spite of themselves, now have a record that they're

37
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: beginning to accumulate that they can run on and the

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: case that they can make to stay in power. For

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz was really good last night when when he

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: was on Hannity talking about these very things. How is

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: it when a president in the State of the Union

42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: address talks about two point four million new jobs created,

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: higher wages for the American worker, talks about all of

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: the bonuses for American workers, you know the crumbs that

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, millionaire on Nancy Pelosi talks about thousand dollars,

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: two thousand dollar bonuses, pay raises, tax cuts resulting in

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: a minimum two thousand dollars per family. This is now

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: adding up to be serious money. When he talks about

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: all of the companies, including car companies, now coming back

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: and investing in America in manufacturing centers and factories and

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: grading jobs. When he talks about energy independence, energy, I've said,

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: is that is the gold mine that we've been sitting

53
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: on for so many years, and yet now we finally

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: Reagan wanted to open up an war, and war has

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: opened up the coal industry, saved more regulations removed than

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: all presidents come mind, and it's done in a year,

57
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: a major track record of success. The president able to

58
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: bypass the destroyed Trump media and lay out the case

59
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: that is overwhelming in terms of a successful first year presidency.

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: You know, but the Democrat, they say, higher wages, sit

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: on your hands. The lowest African American Hispanic unemployment rates,

62
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: we've ever seen no reaction, just just like these angry

63
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: looks at Donald Trump. You know, bonuses for employees, know

64
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: the crumbs according to Nancy Pelosi, you know, and all

65
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: the other things, small things, big things, fighting the opioid epidemic,

66
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: merrick based immigration, uh, even the cultural issues that we

67
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: as Americans believe fundamentally in our hearts and souls. Uh,

68
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: that we respect that flag that so many fought, bled

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: and died fighting under for our liberty and our freedom.

70
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: There is an inherent you know, d n A that

71
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: runs through Americans that you know, we appreciate what they did.

72
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: That's why we stand for the national anthem, as he said,

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: and and believe that this country is endowed by its creator,

74
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: that we have been a blessed people, you know, recognizing Israel,

75
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: diminishing isis Uh, all of the things that the president

76
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: is talking. You look at this and it's a crazy

77
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: there's a chant of USA, and you've got a Democratic

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: congressman walking out, and you know, and even liberals are

79
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: are really really ticked off at the fact that Representative

80
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: Joe Kennedy and I assume he's what the great grandson

81
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: of Robert Kennedy. I didn't even know he was in Congress,

82
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: to be honest, And you know they he's given this feat.

83
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: First of all, you can't get over the fact that

84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's you know, lip bomb or

85
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: something or I don't what do you call that? That stuff?

86
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: We chapped lips, chapstick? Yeah, I mean it's like what

87
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: and everyone's everyone's texting, tweeting. What's the is? They like

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: drooling and what's going on there? Poor Marco Rubio got

89
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the same treatment. All right, So you have a young

90
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: you're reaching into the past. You can't put Chuck Schumer

91
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: out there, you know, an old, tired, you know, partisan

92
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: hack that he is. You Nancy Pelosi can't do this.

93
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: So they take this young congressman with a big name, which,

94
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: by the way, even some left wing activists were piste

95
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: off about he's a privileged white man giving the state uh.

96
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: The response to the the President's State of the Union address,

97
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: it turned out to be a disaster. You got Democrats

98
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: booing the President's comments on Chane migration. I guess it

99
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: was Carrissman Luis Gutierrez who triggered the US, you know,

100
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: fleeing the House Chamber during the chanting of the USA USA,

101
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Pelosi frowning when Trump calls to summon the unity that

102
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: we need to deliver. Everybody's been asking for Trump to

103
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: be more conciliatory. He's more conciliatory. He's not gonna get

104
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: any more credit for being conciliatory. You know, if you

105
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: go over to the CNN that work, you know, you

106
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: got Van Jones over there tearing into Trump's speech sweet

107
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: tasting candy with poison in it. You can't make this up.

108
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: You got every predictable liberal in Hollywood, you know, coming

109
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: out with anything that they can find. The problem is is,

110
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, these very same people supported Obama, and the

111
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: Obama years were a disaster. You know all throughout Steen,

112
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: I gave you truth in numbers, thirty million more Americans

113
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: on food stamps, fact eight million more in poverty factors

114
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: is after eight years of Obama nomics. The lowest labor

115
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: participation rate since the seventies, the worst recovery since the forties,

116
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: the lowest home ownership rate in fifty one years. And then,

117
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: of course the guy that said nine trillion dollars in

118
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: debt was irresponsible and unpatriotic ended up accumulating more debt

119
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: than every other president before him, combined with nothing to

120
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: show for it. I mean, CNN got so conspiratorial, the

121
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: demonstrating just how far down the drain their standards are

122
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: over at the old network, Fake News CNN. They actually

123
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: spent a couple of minutes before the State of the

124
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: Union wondering if the First Lady, milani at Trump's outfit

125
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: was designed to protest the president her own husband. She

126
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: was wearing white to protest him anyway. He was a

127
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: reporter Kate Bennett was trying to read the tea leaves

128
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: and understand why Milannia didn't ride to the Capitol with

129
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Well, okay, he's going at one point she

130
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: goes in before him. Maybe it had everything to do

131
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: with that. Anyway, So after being teed up by Jake Tapper,

132
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: Bennett tried to read into the secret message the first

133
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Lady's trying to send with her dress. You know, she's

134
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: wearing a cream colored suit there, which I find interesting.

135
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: I remember last year the female Democratic senators all war white,

136
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 1: she recalled, while claiming it is to protest Donald Trump. Listen,

137
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: it could be a total coincidence, But I find a

138
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that she does these days. To

139
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: look at it twice, and I think Maureen Dowd called

140
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: her well the Slovenian spinks. Everybody looking at her and

141
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: trying to decipher the mysteries. Tapper, quick, is this news?

142
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: This is not news. It's unbelievable. Um, I thought this.

143
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: You know, for a long time now, everyone's been talking

144
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: about is the president of conservative is the president of

145
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: nationalist as the president of populist? Of Hannity, have you

146
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: changed you? And I'm not a nationalist. I'm not a populist.

147
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: I always have been and continue to be a raaking conservative.

148
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: That is what you got out of that speech last night.

149
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: On every single solitary issue. You know, the biggest thing

150
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: that you can take, the comfort you can take, is

151
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: that the president that ran is the president that stood

152
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: in in Congress last night giving the state of the

153
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: Union and fighting for the same things that he was

154
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: fighting for on the campaign trail. That is something you

155
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: ought to take heart with. Now, there was some unbelievable Um.

156
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was the best use. I thought the

157
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: storytelling was phenomenal by showing the greatness of the American

158
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: people over and over again, American heroes and and people

159
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: also that were victims. I mean, they had two families.

160
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to cry for them, and the whole country

161
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: crying for them that lost their children, their daughters. MS. Thirteen.

162
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: It's it's where I live in Long Island and New York.

163
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we once used to think of

164
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: gang violence something that was, you know, a Los Angeles thing. No,

165
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: it's spread all throughout the country and it's dangerous and

166
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: people are dying. The same with the opioid epidemic. Those

167
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: are these are real problems. It got so bad over

168
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: at CNN that that this speech reception was so positive.

169
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: Now CBS had a poll among those who watched the speech,

170
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: the president got a s approval, and CNN had a

171
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: a pole and their very own survey, which found seventy

172
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: of viewers gave it a positive reading. I mean, CNN

173
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: so upset about it that they literally went forward and

174
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: came out with this pole does not and cannot reflect

175
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: the views of all Americans. I'm like, Okay, it's your pole.

176
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: You can't say whatever you want. In other words, there

177
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: like it seeing and please don't don't let it be

178
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: true because we're on the wrong course having you know,

179
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: soon to be more scandal playing Jeff Sucker best friends

180
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: of Matt Lower, you know, ordering everybody that works over

181
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: there to go forward with the destroyed Trump narrative every

182
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: single day. Don't tell truth, don't don't look at any

183
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: of the facts and issues surrounding the abuse and misuse

184
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: of power as it relates to the tell tools that

185
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: we give people, and the FISA warrant and Hillary getting

186
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: an exoneration before investigation. Don't look at come and struck

187
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: and page and don't don't air those text messages. Just

188
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: go out and destroy Trump. So CNN doesn't even mention

189
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: that almost half of Americans that watched the president's first

190
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: dated the Union address, forty percent say they had a

191
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: very positive impression. They can't even mention that that, in

192
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: addition to the forty percent they had another there was

193
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: somewhat positive. So that's a net total of se and

194
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: rather than a report that they're trying to convince their

195
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: audience that their pole is screwed up. So there are

196
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: seeing that some important caveats. The survey reflects the views

197
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: of only those that watched the speech, not all Americans.

198
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: Suppose conducted among a group of Americans who said in

199
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: prior interviews they planned to watch the speech and we're

200
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: willing to be contacted after its conclusion. People who choose

201
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: to watch political speech tend to be more supportive of

202
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: the speaker than the general population. The sample was about

203
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: seven points more Republican than the entire American population. Blah

204
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: blah blah. Okay, it still was a good sign. There's

205
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: so much good that comes out of this. And you know,

206
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: I'd say that you'd break this down into different categories.

207
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: One I thought the president, you know, everything from talking

208
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: about the families that have have suffered so badly because

209
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: of of gang violence, like m. S. Thirteen, I I

210
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: just when you see people, it brings it home. It

211
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: just brings it home. Or or talking about this twelve

212
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: year old little boy from Ready in California noticed that

213
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: when he went to his grandfather's grave that the graves

214
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: were not marked with flags on Veterans Day. And this

215
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: kid starts a movement and they placed forty thousand flags

216
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: at grave sites for Great American heroes. It's you know,

217
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: it's showing the American spirit. Then the President goes through

218
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: a laundry list of things that every conservati all you

219
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: never trumpers. Are you not happy with the appointment of justices.

220
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: You're not happy that you have a president that supports

221
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment. You're not happy that the president is

222
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: move forward to help our brave veterans and their health

223
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: care decisions and the landmark VA Accountability Act, and that

224
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: there's even gonna be more done properly to do this,

225
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: or that the President is trying to make Washington accountable.

226
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: We have eliminated more regulations in our first year than

227
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: any administration in history. You know, we've ended the war

228
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: in American energy. You know, we're now building new plants

229
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: and and we're enticing and incentivizing companies to build factories

230
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: manufacturing centers. Here. The error of economic surrender is over.

231
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: You know. I love when the President said it's time

232
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: for Congress to give these wonderful Americans the right to try.

233
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: You know, let's say you're dying and there's maybe just

234
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: a glimmer of hope with this new experimental drug. You're

235
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: not allowed legally to take it in America. What's the

236
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Dallas Buyers Club brought that whole issue home. And if

237
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm dying and I want to try an experimental drug

238
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: that may save my life, it's my business. I love

239
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: when the President said, I would think every conservative believes

240
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: in liberty and freedom. And you can't look at the

241
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: first year's record of the president. Mr. Never Trumper's out

242
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: there and not be impressed. It's just you're so locked

243
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: into your own narrative of hatred right. Apparently, a controversy

244
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: has emerged. Daily Caller reporting that Donka beneficiary is commonly

245
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: known as dreamers. Watching the State of the Union address

246
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: from California, jet are generally indignant because Donald Trump would

247
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: um associate illegal immigration with crime by and so and

248
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: so forth, But as the San Diego Union reports, some

249
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: were particularly apoplectic over Trump's dreamers too. In other words,

250
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: they're mad and we're talking about illegal immigrants, mad at

251
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: Trump for calling American citizens dreamers too. I guess dreamers.

252
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, do we have a monopoly use on that

253
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: word in some way, shape, matter of form. Uh. In

254
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: a blistering commentary, UH, Sarah Sanders Huckabee took up Sarah

255
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: Huckaby Sanders took a swipe at Nancy Pelosi in an

256
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: interview at CNN, and Sanders reference Pelosi's facial reaction to

257
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: the president State of the Union address, during which she

258
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: appeared slightly unhappy. I mean, didn't they look so angry?

259
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: Wasn't that one of the things? What does the Democratic

260
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: Party stand for today? What are they fighting for today?

261
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: When you get good news on the economy after eight

262
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: years of their familed policies, and now things are beginning

263
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: to turn around, and we have a good story to

264
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: tell that principles and ideas are beginning to work. You know,

265
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: so what do they Why wouldn't everyone be happy? I'll

266
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: give you an example on my radio and TV show.

267
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't care who comes up with a good idea.

268
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: If it's a good idea, I'm like, oh, that's a

269
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: great idea. Every single day, Linda, you can test your

270
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: testament to the fact. How many times have you said, nah,

271
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: why do you do this? What do you think about that?

272
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: And I say, that's a great idea, Let's do it right.

273
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: That's a team effort, for sure, team effort. I write

274
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: my monologue every day and occasionally my staff comes in

275
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: and they said why don't we say this. Do you think, Oh,

276
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: I think I've got tape that makes your point. Let's

277
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: put that in there. And I'm like, great, let's do it.

278
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: And I mean it's it's I don't understand this mentality.

279
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: It's like anyway, So I think it was captured really well.

280
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: When Sanders, you know, said the Pelosi looks like that

281
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: all the time, I think she would you think she'd

282
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: want to smile more often. She seems to embody the

283
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: bitterness that belongs in the Democratic Party. They need to

284
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: decide whether they love America more than they hate this President. Cuomo,

285
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: who was interviewing, shot back, a fundamental disagreement is where's

286
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: the hate? But when you think about it, when you

287
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: have good news, why not celebrate it all? We got

288
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: the latest on the release of the Visa House Intel

289
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: memo debate. Straight ahead, Mr Speaker, Mr Vice President, Members

290
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: of Congress, the First Lady of the United States, and

291
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: my fellow Americans. Less than one year has passed since

292
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: I first stood at this podium in this majestic chamber

293
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: to speak on behalf of the American people and to

294
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: address their concerns, their hopes, and their dreams that night,

295
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 1: our new administration had already taken very swift action. A

296
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: new tide of optimism was already sweeping across our land.

297
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: Each day since, we have gone forward with a clear

298
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: vision and a righteous mission to make America great again

299
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: for all Americans. Over the last year, we have made

300
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: incredible progress and achieved extraordinary success. We have faced challenges

301
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: we expected and others we could never have imagined. We

302
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: have shared in the heights of victory and the pains

303
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: of hardship. We have endured floods and fires and storms.

304
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: But through it all we have seen the beauty of

305
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: America's saul and the steel in America's spine. All Right,

306
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: that was the President's State of the Union last night,

307
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: and a speech well received except by the Democrats sitting

308
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: in the chamber. CBS poll approve of the President's speech.

309
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: One fascinating thing. If you look at, for example, that

310
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: you've got this media divide, you've got on the left

311
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: hunting post the hidden extremism of Trump's State of the

312
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: Union slate. President Trump uses people of color as a

313
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: cover for his anti immigration policies vox. Trump has no

314
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: solutions for America's big problems. Uh the nation. Trump's long,

315
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: low energy State of the Union change nothing. That's the

316
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: way of them saying they liked it, that the country

317
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: is obviously gonna like it. Mother Jones fact check. Trump

318
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: has done virtually nothing to combat the opioid epidemic. The

319
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Daily Costs one of Trump's biggest State of the Union

320
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: applause lines will be the GOP's biggest stumbling block come November.

321
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: You know, mainstream media, uh New York Times. Trump issues

322
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: appeal for unity MPR. Trump makes bipartisan pitch, but also

323
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: plays the base is that they don't they never have,

324
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: they never will. They don't understand who this man is. Um.

325
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: There was a really good piece Selena Zito writing in

326
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: the New York Post Donald Trump is still the man

327
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: to those blue collar voters. I don't know. I you know,

328
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: people get mad at me whenever I go back and

329
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: talk about my blue collar roots. It was twenty years

330
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: of my life. It was a big part of my life,

331
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: not having money and all the jobs that I did

332
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: in the process, but it defined who I am. I mean,

333
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: that's why when Nancy Pelosi is talking about, you know,

334
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: a thousand dollar or two thousand dollar bonus checks being crumbs,

335
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, okay, you're the lady that made

336
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: us pay for your your government Gulf Stream five to

337
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: fly to San Francisco every time you wanted to go

338
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: home for a weekend visit. It's ridiculous. Another big differences,

339
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: and it may seem small and insignificant. The President used we.

340
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't like Obama, me ME, I, I I. It

341
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: was we the people. You know. Very early on in

342
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: my broadcasting career, when I was in Atlanta, Georgia, the

343
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: program director is still a good friend of mine, Eric Seidel,

344
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: We call him Slugo, and Slugo would would bring me

345
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: into his office. He goes, I want you to listen

346
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: to Paul Harvey, and he was you always talks to you.

347
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: We the It's not a me, me, ME I I

348
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: I sort of like the Toby Keys song all about me,

349
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: all about my number one on MYMYMN. What I think,

350
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: what I know, what I what I like, what I see.

351
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: It's not about I. It is about us. The other

352
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: thing I think you can take out of this. Michael

353
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: Goodwin a good point in his column today about how

354
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: Trump is actually teaching and educating Republicans and how to

355
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: fight I mean, it's it's all true. And you know,

356
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: there's always been this belief among never Trumpers. What is

357
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: it about his successful agenda that you find not conservative?

358
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: You don't like, he's not gonna be Reagan, He's not

359
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: gonna be met Romney. In terms of his tone and

360
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: his style and who he is. He's not gonna magically,

361
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, morph into the typical swamp creature b s

362
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: artist that calls themselves a politician. That's what makes him

363
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: who he is. You know, the guy that tweets, the

364
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: guy that fights, the guy that stands up for what

365
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: he believes, and the guy that us and back down.

366
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: American people find it refreshing. The the establishment Republican base

367
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: can't handle it. They're in a collective meltdown every single

368
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: day on it. You know, everybody would have told Donald

369
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: Trump he scorches the NFL protests in his State of

370
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: the Union address, Oh don't do that. I guarantee you

371
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: every establishment Republican never Trump. But what don't don't touch

372
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: that issue? Well, there's so many issues they don't want

373
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: to touch because they're scared of their own shadows. It's ridiculous.

374
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: But what don't we get What are we getting done

375
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: In the process, We're rebuilding an economy all based on

376
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: Reagan principles of economics. And it's like these people that

377
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: claim for years that they were conservative, we're all finding

378
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: out they weren't really conservative. You know, they live in

379
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: a politically correct bubble and they want to be liked,

380
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: and be wanting to be liked is never gonna get

381
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: anything done. You know, before New King Ridge became a speaker,

382
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Bob Michaels was the perpetual minority leader of Republicans in

383
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: the House, and and he was a nice guy, but

384
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: he wasn't a disruptor. And incomes New Gingrich truly a

385
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: revolutionary in ninety four and he drove Republicans into power

386
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: for the first time in forty years. I don't know

387
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: if a nice quote politician could have pulled off with

388
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump pulled off in and just because everybody finds

389
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: his delivery uncomfortable because they're not used to it, because

390
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: he's not one of them. As long as those blue

391
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: collar workers are getting those manufacturing jobs back and and

392
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: uh and factory jobs, and we're getting plants built, and

393
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: we got you know, all these uh big companies, multinational

394
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: corporations now incentivized to bring their money back to help

395
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: the forgotten men and women in the country, those people

396
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: are gonna appreciate it. And when companies have given them

397
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: thousand dollar bonuses, pay raise and lifting the minimum wage,

398
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: doing whatever they're doing that benefits all of us. And

399
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: if a wall's built that keeps us safer, they're gonna

400
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: like that too. And if somebody was just given a

401
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: death sentence by their doctor and the President successful in

402
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: allowing them to at least the opportunity to try, uh,

403
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: some experimental drug, let's give him the right to try.

404
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: This is all common sense stuff. In one year, getting

405
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: rid of more regulations than any other administration in history

406
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: in a year, that's all good for us. And that

407
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: is a win for the American people. And the reason

408
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: is that. And what are the Democrats offering? What are

409
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: they stand for eight more years of Obama? Well, I've

410
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: given those statistics out enough and there was eight years

411
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: of failure. And if you watch NBC News last night

412
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: their coverage of the President's first Date of the Union address,

413
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: you got Savannah Guthrie and Tom bro Coost viewing comments

414
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: about the Russia probe as Trump was preparing to speak.

415
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: Let us not forget as we see it, Earney, General

416
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: Chef Sessions, this is a president under criminal investigation for

417
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice. With regard to the Russia investigation, Guthrie said, well,

418
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: number one, nobody wouldn't know if that's true, and if

419
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: it is, it's just trumped up nonsense. We've had a

420
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: year and I guarantee you, Savannah Guthrie, I'll give you

421
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: three hours on this show to give me evidence of

422
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion, and you will not be able to

423
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: do it. But I'll be able to give you evidence

424
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: of collusion as it relates to Russia in the election.

425
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: That's something that you probably never talked about. How about

426
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: we make how about government, you know, solving the problems

427
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: that impact the lives of the American people. You know,

428
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: after eight years of adding millions to poverty, millions to

429
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: the food stand proles, you know, the lowest labor participation rate,

430
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: the worst recovery in forty years, doubling our debtons, having

431
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: nothing to show for it. Maybe now it's time that

432
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: we focus on the people of this country and solve

433
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: their problems. Getting rid of the employer mandates solved the

434
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: problem moving Americans America towards energy independence. That's gonna create

435
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: millions of high paying career jobs. Now, maybe these guys

436
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: in suits, uh instead of boots, maybe they don't care

437
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: that much about those people that are out of work

438
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: or in debt end jobs. But the people that are

439
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna get the high paying career jobs with the benefits

440
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: from oil companies and cold companies and fracking companies, they're

441
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty darn happy. And they're gonna be able

442
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: to get their first house in their second house, and

443
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to get a new car, and

444
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to take a vacation and go

445
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: out to dinner and not have to worry about how

446
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: much it's gonna cost. I don't ever hear these politicians

447
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: ever talked this way, because they've apparently have either they've

448
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: lost touch with where they came from, or they don't

449
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: care and it's all about their power that they care about.

450
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: We have some interesting developments as it relates to the

451
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: memo that I want to get to here, and we'll

452
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: be talking about it later in the program as well.

453
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: Um So, the FBI released a statement on the memo.

454
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: Now you gotta Remember, here's some background foundation for you,

455
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein. Now let me let me backtrack the demands

456
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: by the House Intel Committee for documentation from the Department

457
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: of Justice. It took nearly a year for them to

458
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: hand over the basic, fundamental and simple things that were

459
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: being asked for by the House Intel Committee. This is

460
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: where we get the struck page memos. This is where

461
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: the memo comes from. The information they finally had to

462
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 1: turn over now hours before the deadline, or else they

463
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: were gonna basically hold the Justice Department, FBI and contempt.

464
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein, the guy that appointed Robert Muller, goes into

465
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan's office and begs him, please don't at Devin

466
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: Nowness his House Intel Oversight Committee, don't let him have this.

467
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: And Paul Ryan said, no, we want to be transparent,

468
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: and he held his ground. Well, now we're about to

469
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: get it released, and we're told that the FBI Director

470
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: Ray is appalled by its contents and it resulted in

471
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: Andrew mcaybeing fired. I'm also told that when in March

472
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: the Inspector General report comes out that may even ultimately

473
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: be worse. As we look into the the cover up

474
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: of the Hillary Clinton email server investigation and the exoneration

475
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: before investigation. So the FBI now knows this memos coming

476
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: out and they're scared. The FBI takes seriously its obligations

477
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: to the FISA Court and its compliance with procedures overseen

478
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: by career professionals in the Department of Justice, and FBI

479
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: were committed to working with the appropriate oversight entities to

480
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: ensure the continuing integrity of the FISA process. So FISA

481
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: abuses clearly is what this memo was going to get into.

482
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: With regard to the House Intelligence Committees memorandum, the FBI

483
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the

484
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: day before the committee voted to release it. As expressed

485
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: during our initial review, we have concerns, grave concerns about

486
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy.

487
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: Here's a problem. Well, now, the the people at Fox

488
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: went back at the FBI and said, is there anything

489
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: in this memo that is inaccurate anything? And the FBI

490
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: said there's nothing inaccurate. Devin Newness just this hour has responded,

491
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: having stonewall Congress's demands for information for nearly a year.

492
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: It's no surprise to see the FBI d o J

493
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: issue the spurious objections to allowing the American people to

494
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: see information related to surveillance abuses at these agencies. What

495
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: do you think that Andrew McCabe walked out alone on

496
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: You don't think there's memos? He's up to his eyeballs

497
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: in it. Rod Rosenstein, I hear is the most scared

498
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: person in Washington right now. The FBI is intimately familiar

499
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: with material omissions with respects to their presentations to both

500
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: Congress and the courts, and they are welcome to make public,

501
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: to the greatest extent possible all the information they have

502
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: on these abuses. Regardless, it's clear the top officials used

503
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: unverified information in a court document to fuel a counter

504
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: intelligence investigation during an American political campaign. Once the truth

505
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 1: gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our

506
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this. Again, Basically,

507
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: it's saying that the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for

508
00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: Docier full of Russian lies, propaganda, misinformation first designed to

509
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: to rig a general election. After she rigged the primary

510
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: against Bernie and after Comey struck Page, McCabe and maybe

511
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: Lauretta Lynch rigged the investigation when she committed felonies. Then

512
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: they used it as a as a foundation for a

513
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: warrant against an opposition party candidate. That is what we're

514
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna learn. In my opinion, this cannot happen in the

515
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: United States of America. And I don't care that Rod

516
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: Rosenstein and others. The facts are the facts here. Poor

517
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: main street media, they'll just run with the FBI's criticism.

518
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: They won't even tell you the truth. There's so much

519
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: more coming. I wish I could share it with you now.

520
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: We'll have a lot more later in the program and

521
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: tonight at nine on Hannity New king Ridge. In the

522
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: next hour. Senator Joe Mansion, he's up for reelection in

523
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: West Virginia, said today the Democrats were wrong not to

524
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: show respect to the presidency by sitting down for the

525
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: most moving part of the President's State of the Union address.

526
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: I think the Democrats were wrong and not showing respect.

527
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: I was taught in West Virginia there's a little bit

528
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: of respect and you should show that. And I did

529
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: that then and I did it last night. He knows

530
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: he's in trouble without being a Democrat in West Virginia.

531
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: All right, quick break, We'll come back eight nine one,

532
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: Shawn told free telephone number, and together we are building

533
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: a safe, strong, and proud America. Since the election, we

534
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: have created two point four million new jobs, including including

535
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand new jobs in manufacturing alone frommendous d

536
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: After years and years of wage stagnation, we are finally

537
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: seeing rising wages. Unemployment claims have hit a forty five

538
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: year low, and something I'm very proud of. African American

539
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded, and Hispanic

540
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: American unemployment has also reached the lowest levels in history.

541
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: Small business confidence is at an all time high. The

542
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining eight

543
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: trillion dollars and more in value in just this short

544
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: period of time. The great news, the great news for

545
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: America's four oh one K retirement, pension and college savings

546
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: accounts have gone through the roof. And just as I

547
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: promised the American people from this podium eleven months ago,

548
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history. Alright,

549
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: our to Sean Hannity show the President from his first

550
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: State of the Union address last night, one of the

551
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: things that really stood out is the Democrats. You can

552
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: even see some of them like instinctively want to stand

553
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: but you know, they refused to applaud or stand up

554
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: even when the President talked about really good things for

555
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: the country. You know, job creation, they sit on their hands,

556
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: higher wages, they sit on the hands their hands, the

557
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: lowest African American Hispanic unemployment rates ever. Ever, and nobody

558
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: applauds all the bonuses, the crumbs, as Nancy Pelosi calls them,

559
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: the thousand dollars two thousand dollar bonuses for employees. Uh,

560
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: the good news that we have had securing the border. Uh,

561
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: even opioid epidemic, the fight that's gone on there and immigration,

562
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: and you know, the American flag, the national anthem in

563
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: God we trust, recognize, think Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Uh,

564
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: greatly diminishing the Islamic state, lower prescription drugs, defense. Everything

565
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: is not one thing that they can point to and say,

566
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: you know what, the President has done a really good job.

567
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: We didn't expect it, but he did a really good

568
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: job on this or that anyway, joining us now, former

569
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House, New King Ridge is with us. Uh,

570
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: let's get your overall view of the President's speech last night, well,

571
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: I thought unbalanced, particularly when you add in the extraordinary

572
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: way that they brought guests who fit not just stories,

573
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 1: but guests who personified key parts of America. I would

574
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: write it better than any state union Ronald Reagan gave.

575
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: And that's that's about. Did you see that the Heritage

576
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: Foundation their calculations, they rated Donald Trump's first year more

577
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: conservative than Reagan's. Oh, I think that's what, particularly when

578
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: you when you take the judges and you take the

579
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: dera relation stuff. I've asked several people to check because

580
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer for this, but my hunch

581
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: is that President Trump has deregulated more red tape in

582
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: his first year than Reagan did in eight years. I mean,

583
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: the President said that last night that they've done more

584
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: in one year than all presidents combined in terms of

585
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: eliminating regulation, which is an in and of itself, a

586
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: spectacular achievement. I want to ask you before we get

587
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: into the specifics. This is interesting to me because I

588
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: know that when Steve Bannon was there and and all

589
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: this talk about nationalism and populism, I watched it from afar.

590
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: Ever since you have known me now, going back to

591
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: and even before then, I always identified as a Reagan Conservative.

592
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: I've never changed my views or my values. And I

593
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: make the case that the State of the Union speech

594
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: last night, the President's policies that would he is fighting

595
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: for are conservative, not nationalist populist. And you and I

596
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: have discussed it a little in the past. Is he

597
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: governing as a conservative? I believe he is. Oh sure,

598
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: But but he's a conservative with some very interesting twist.

599
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: He's very entrepreneurial, so he's very much focused on getting

600
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: things done. That makes him more activist than any conservative

601
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: probably since Theodore Roosevelt. He is very aware of how

602
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: the world has changed, so so his belief in putting

603
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: America first is much more intense than it would have

604
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: been for Reagan, who was leading a country which was

605
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: at the peak of his power and where with the

606
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: collapse of the Civil Union, there were no natural peer competitors.

607
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: So Trump, in that sense, it isn't a slightly different world.

608
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: He also faces just a radically more hostile left than

609
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 1: anything we've seen in our lifetime. And I'm last night

610
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: and I know you had the same the same feeling.

611
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: Uh you watched the black, and the Hispanic Caucus is

612
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: refused to applaud when the President I States announces this

613
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: is the lowest level of Black unemployment in history. It's

614
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: the lowest level of Hispanic unemployment in history, both of which,

615
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: by the way, have been validated by the fact checkers.

616
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: You would have thought surely they could applaud the fact

617
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: the people in their communities were now finding jobs. They

618
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. They disliked Trump more than they like

619
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: their own folks getting a job. You know, I think

620
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: we're going to watch this economic resurgence continue. I mean,

621
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: I think the tax plan is going to have a

622
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: massive impact on the economy. The president, every president including

623
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: Reagan wanted to open and more now it's open. The

624
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: Obamacare mandate is dead, corporate tax cuts, repatriation, energy independence.

625
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at millions of high paying career

626
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: jobs and the added bonus that we produced the lifeblood

627
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: of our economy, our own energy, and we can even

628
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: export something. So I think this is gonna even in

629
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: a year. I think we'll see some massive improvements. And

630
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: and here's what I don't understand. Jimmy Carter failed spectacularly

631
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: with his liberal policies as president. It paved the way

632
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: for Reagan. Here you have on any measure economically under Obama,

633
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: thirty million more Americans on food stamps, eight million more

634
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: in poverty, lowest labor participation rate in the since the seventies.

635
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: You had the worst recovery in forty years, lowest home

636
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: ownership rate in fifty one years. And he doubled the

637
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: national debt, accumulated more debt than every other president before

638
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: him combined. Now where we see a reversal. But why

639
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: is there always this ebb and flow politically that somehow

640
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: the rhetoric, as as eloquently as it was delivered by

641
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: Barack Obama then becomes appealing to the country. Well, we

642
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: always keep experimenting with something we know is ultimately going

643
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: to fail. Well, I think part of this because you've

644
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: got you've had a very narrow balance of power, uh,

645
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: really beginning with George H. W. Bush breaking his word

646
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: on no new taxes, which which in many ways UH

647
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: broke them around the conservative movement. And from that point

648
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: to here you had this constant back and forth in

649
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: the country which is very narrowly divided. And what we

650
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: don't know yet is whether with Trump's extraordinary achievements and

651
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: his great communication skills. We're actually be seeing the beginning

652
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: of a new era in which we put together a

653
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: an American patriotic national movement that is committed to economic growth,

654
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: committed to excellence, committed to merit uh, and willing to

655
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: continuously reform government until every until things work. UH. If

656
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: that comes together, then you'll get the way. You know

657
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: that this is real as you get sixteen to twenty

658
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: years of the same team in charge and the country

659
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: keeps reelecting them because it's working. But I think what

660
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: you had was with with George W. Bush. The combination

661
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: of not winning in Iraq in Afghanistan, combined with the

662
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: financial crisis of two thousand seven and two thousand and

663
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 1: eight set the stage for a Barack Obama who ran

664
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: at the time, despite your best efforts to uh pull

665
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: the mask off and describe who he really was, he

666
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: ran at the time as a guy who was a

667
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: common sense, mainstream you know, we can get this done together.

668
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: You get you'll get to keep your doctor, you get

669
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: to keep your insurance company. I mean a lot of

670
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: we said we're just playing a lie, which is the

671
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: hallmark of modern liberalism, because if they tell the truth,

672
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose. Let me move on. We are hearing

673
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: both from General Kelly and the President last night that

674
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: he wants to release and be transparent and release the

675
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: memo from the House Intel Committee. The You know, it's

676
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: very interesting if you look at the history of how

677
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: this memo came into place. The the House Intelligence Committee

678
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: had requested documents from the do J and then up

679
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 1: to the last hour, the d o J was unwilling

680
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: to hand them over, and a last ditched effort not

681
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: to hand them over Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller. He

682
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: races into Paul Ryan's office and says, please, don't make

683
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: us release these anyway. Ryan stood by Devin Newness. Newness

684
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: reads the documents. He writes a memo about how flagrant

685
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: FISA abuses and other things are and the people involved

686
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: in a concerted effort to play politics with the intel community,

687
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: which is very dangerous. And now the FBI is weighing

688
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 1: in on all of this. Now they cannot report any

689
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: inaccuracies in the memo, but they still don't want it released. Um,

690
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they, Well, I guess I understand for personal reasons.

691
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: Why they wouldn't want it released, but why wouldn't they

692
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: want full transparency so we can clean up any mass

693
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: of any upper echelam people that are that are hurting

694
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: rank and file, hard working members of the intel community,

695
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: FBI and department. Look, I think the damage that is

696
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: being done to the reputation of the Photo Bureau Investigation

697
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: and the reputation of Justice Department is just breathtakingly large.

698
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: And this memo apparently absolutely validates that the reputations ought

699
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: to be damaged. And again, let's be clear, we're not

700
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: talking about the average everyday FBI agent who's honest and

701
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: sincere and goes to work to enforce the law. We're

702
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: talking about a small group of people at the top

703
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: who were so corrupted in the Obama years, both at

704
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: Justice and at the FBI. And I think they realize

705
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: that when these things apparently just based on what we've

706
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: seen happen already, when this stuff comes out, that it

707
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: is just explosive, and so there's a certain amount of

708
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: protecting themselves, protecting their friends. Uh. They can make an

709
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: argument that it releases too much of information about how

710
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: our fives the system works, but the truth is, uh,

711
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: we're in a situation right now where the American people

712
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: deserve to know these things, and the American people have

713
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: every right to be offended by the way this is.

714
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: This has been handled right as we continue. Former Speaker

715
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: of the House and author of the New York Times

716
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: bestseller Vengeance New Game ridges with us getting reaction to

717
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: the state of the Union. So when this memo comes out,

718
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: here's what we do know, and imagine let's reverse roles here.

719
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: And I've asked you this question on TV, but I

720
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: think it's worth going back to Hillary Riggs a primary.

721
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 1: According to Donna Brazil, when the evidence is all said

722
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: and done, he had Bernie had no shot. It was rigged.

723
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: Call me struck Page McCabe and maybe even Loretta Lynch.

724
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: You know, are involved in exonerating Hillary on the email

725
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 1: server scandal, where we know felonies were committed months before

726
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: they ever interview investigate her or the principles involved. Exonerate

727
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:50,919
Speaker 1: before investigating Hillary then pays for a Russian dossier full

728
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: of lies, misinformation, and propaganda ironically from Russia to mislead

729
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: the American people in a general election, and then you've

730
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: got that Aim Darcier Boughton paid for used as the

731
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: foundation to secure a fizer warrant against an opposition candidate

732
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: in an election year and then a president elect. Now

733
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: let's say Donald Trump did all of that to Hillary.

734
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: Where would the country be, Where would the media be? Well, look,

735
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, and I why are you laughing at my question?

736
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: It's a good question. Well, but you and I both

737
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: know that, Uh, the elite media is the left. Uh,

738
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: the elite the elite media has now got this terrible

739
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: problem that they really build up the whole Russian story

740
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 1: thinking it was going to get Trump, and now instead

741
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: it's getting Democrats. Uh. They don't know what to do.

742
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: They're they're they're sort of spinning like tops. Uh. Publications

743
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: which were thrilled to release US secrets, uh and we're

744
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: happy to publish things that that bight harm our national

745
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: security are now totally confused about whether or not they

746
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: really want to know. You know, Suddenly transparency may not

747
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: be a good idea, uh in terms of publishing this, uh,

748
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: this paper. And I think it's very clear that and

749
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope everyone listening to us understands how

750
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: how vivid this is. We live in a country where

751
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: there was an enormous danger that had Secretary Clinton one

752
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: that all of this would have been covered up, the

753
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: sickness would have continued. The very people who are now

754
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: being forced out would still be in power. Uh. And

755
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: we were in really great danger of the Justice Department

756
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: and the FBI becoming instruments of political power. Uh. And

757
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that they were being used in the

758
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: last part of two thousand sixteen in ways that are

759
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: a total violation of the rule of law and a

760
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: total violation of the American Constitution. I think this is

761
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: just very vividly clear, and people need to understand how

762
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: bad this is. And you need to understand that the

763
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: the elite media is not the referees covering the fight.

764
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 1: The elite media is the offensive wing of the left,

765
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: and it's totally in the game, and it is totally

766
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: committed to creating a narrative that's just factually false. But

767
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: that is necessary. You know, if you're a liberal, you

768
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: you can't afford just to believe in the truth. You

769
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: have to invent new things that prop up your side

770
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: no matter what the truth is. All right, Mr Speaker,

771
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: appreciate you being with us. You'll be on Hannity tonight

772
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: tonight looking forward to nine eastern, will have reaction to

773
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: all of this, and it looks like the memo could

774
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: be released today or as early as tomorrow. We're following

775
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: that story very closely. FBI is trying to prevent not

776
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: FBI top echelon, people in justice in Intel and the

777
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: FBI trying to prevent it. We'll have all the details

778
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: nine eastern on Hannity Quick Break right back when we

779
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: come back. Rhonda Santas of the Freedom Caucus, come on.

780
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: As far as the memo goes. The memo came over.

781
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: We've got our folks in the in the in the

782
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: our National screty lawyers in the White House that worked

783
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: for me, work for the president. Uh, they're slicing and

784
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: dicing and looking at it so that we know what

785
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: what it means and what it understands. You see it,

786
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: what do you think? Um? Well, let it will be

787
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: released here pretty quick, I think, and every the whole

788
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: world can see it. All right. That was the General Kelly.

789
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: He was speaking about releasing the memo. The President caught

790
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 1: on Mike last night, said percent he wants the memo released,

791
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 1: not new information, Although the media is trying to treat

792
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: it that way. UM. Interesting development on all of this

793
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: as it relates to the memo. UM, because from my understanding,

794
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein remember before the information that resulted in the

795
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: building of the memo by Devin Nowoness, who is the

796
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: chairman of the House Intel Committee, Rod Rosenstein was in

797
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan's office begging, begging, begging, please do not give

798
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: this information out anyway. Paul Ryan stood by his chairman,

799
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: Devin Newness, and in fact, as a result to the

800
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: information at the last hour being handed over to the

801
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: House Intel Committee, well the memo was drawn from that. Well,

802
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: now we have another last ditch effort of the FBI,

803
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 1: and they're they're trying to stop even the memo from

804
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: being released. So what is that they don't want us,

805
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: the American people to say to see in this um anyway?

806
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: So they sent out a statement yesterday. It says, uh,

807
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: the FBI takes seriously their obligations to the FISA Cord

808
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: and its compliance with procedures overseen by career professionals in

809
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and the FBI. We are committed

810
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: to working with the appropriate oversight entities to ensure the

811
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: continuing integrity of the fiser process with regard to the

812
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committees memorandum. The FBI was provided a limited

813
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee

814
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: voted to release it. As expressed during our initial review,

815
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: we have grave concerns about material omissions of act that

816
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy here. Um, Now what got

817
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: updated here after a review, a source close to the

818
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: matter told the told Fox News the FBI officials could

819
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: not point to any inaccuracies in the memo none whatsoever.

820
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis has taken the time, as a congressman soon

821
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: to be gubernatorial candidate in the great state of Florida,

822
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: to go over and actually see the memo. Um. This

823
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: seems to be in keeping with the top echelon within

824
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: the FBI Department of Justice wanting to protect itself from

825
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: what are clear abuses. That's my interpretation, yours, well, Shanna

826
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: tell you, when they put out that statement, it was

827
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: a little surprising because they went, you had one of

828
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: the main guys over there who's been involved in all

829
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: of this, was one of the guys that Ray sent

830
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: to review the memo, and the Intelligence Committee staff said, listen,

831
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: please tell us what is wrong in here? We don't

832
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: any misstatements of fact. You tell us what facts are wrong,

833
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: so we can crect corrected. Because they didn't want to

834
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 1: vote to make this public. If somehow they missed anything up,

835
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: they could not point to a single fact the FBI

836
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: couldn't that was that was wrong in the memo. And

837
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: so you think about that, there's nothing wrong with the facts.

838
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: Even the FBI acknowledge that. So you have I want

839
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: to give I want to put emphasis. So the FBI

840
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: sends over one of the principles involved in this that

841
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: is being discussed in the memo. She probably wasn't factored

842
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: into the memo as much, but he's somebody who's very

843
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: high up in the counter intelligence aspect and would be

844
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: very well read into all the FISA stuff. And so

845
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: if they're not able to identify what's wrong with the memo, Uh,

846
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: then why are they putting out a statement saying that

847
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:53,280
Speaker 1: somehow material emissions means that this is somehow factually flawed

848
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: or somehow flawed. That was not the same message they gave.

849
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: So that leads me to believe, I mean, they've been

850
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: resistant to any type of oversight over this. The only

851
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: reason we got to this point is because the Congress

852
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: we were pushing and demanding and threatening contempt, and so

853
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: they finally allowed a limited access to this stuff. Um

854
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: for them to act like, oh, we only had a

855
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: limited time to review it and all this, well, they've

856
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: been stonewalling for four or five months, So the memo

857
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 1: is going to be released very soon. I've also said,

858
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: you know this Shift memo, I read that released that too.

859
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: I mean, in many ways it was a sloppy kind

860
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: of misdirection memo that I think actually supported what New

861
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: Nose was saying in certain discrete instances. And so I'm

862
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: perfectly happy with the American people having as much information

863
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: and analysis as they want to be able to make

864
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: a decision about what happened. I agree with you because

865
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: they also have all the underlying materials to back up

866
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: what it is that they're investigating and saying. Here. Now, look,

867
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: if they're we we do have certain facts on the

868
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: table now, and we do know that there was an

869
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: effort by Comey and Struck and Paige and Andrew McCabe

870
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: who was just fired, and it looks like Loretta Lynch

871
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: is involved in at least knowing the outcome ahead of time.

872
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: But we do know that there was an effort to

873
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: exonerate Hillary Clinton so that she could continue her presidential

874
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: race without even doing an investigation. Um in any book

875
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: that you read on law, I would argue that is

876
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice. Then we have the whole dossier issue

877
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: on on top of it. This now gets into some

878
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: very serious constitutional issues where we have bought and paid

879
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 1: for even Fusion GPS, and they never tried to even

880
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: verify what they wrote in this dossier bought and paid

881
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: for by one political candidate, Hillary Clinton, and then used

882
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: as the foundation for a FISA warrant to spy on

883
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: an opposition candidate in a lead up to an election

884
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: and then a president elect thereafter. Now, I would imagine

885
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: that you know, when we put the FISA law together,

886
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: it was specifically designed that very very specific criteria need

887
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: to needed to be met to spy, to have our

888
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 1: government spying on Americans, you know, considering their their Fourth

889
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure. Correct, right, And

890
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: the thing about FISA is if it's a foreign national

891
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: and a foreign on foreign land, all you have to

892
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: do is suspect that they may be an agent of

893
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: a foreign power. But if you're talking about an American citizen,

894
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: you have to suspect how probable cause to show the

895
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: fies a chord that they're acting as an agent for

896
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: a foreign government, and probable cause, I think they've committed

897
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: a criminal offense under US law. And I can tell

898
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: you just from the both memos I've read, Um, I'm

899
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: not convinced that there was ever a plausible basis to

900
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 1: think that carter Page was violating US law. I think

901
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: carter Page has got a lot of problems, um, But

902
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it was as an agent of a

903
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: foreign government, or that he was violating these statutes, and

904
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: so it was it seems to me to be more

905
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: of a pretextual thing rather than something that was really

906
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 1: grounded in the facts. And I would also point out, Sean,

907
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: you laid it out. If the FBI is saying, oh,

908
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 1: we can't release this because there's gonna be up damage,

909
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: then why has the FBI and d O j Obama

910
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: holdovers and the Obama people during the transition, Why did

911
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: they leak classified information with impunity for months and months

912
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: and months, feeding the New York Times, feeding the Washington Post.

913
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: With all of this stuff if they're so worried about

914
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: classified information. And I would also note that, since Congress

915
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: is starting to dig into this, what has happened. Bruce

916
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: Y has been demoted twice, Peter Struck, the moded, Lisa

917
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: Page demoted, Andrew McCabe fired, James Baker reassigned. If there

918
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: was nothing wrong with any of this, then why are

919
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: these people having their positions removed? I think the reason

920
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: is just because folks realize that that these guys are

921
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 1: problematic behavior. Why is or why is Struck? And why

922
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: a Page even still there? Knowing what we know now?

923
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean I think that you know, you

924
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: look at those Struck text messages. Obviously he hated Trump,

925
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: the insurance policy, Struck in page talking about, oh Hillary,

926
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 1: maybe the next president don't go in with guns blazing,

927
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I mean, it's just absurd. Um, And yeah,

928
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that they should be there. But even

929
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: what's happened in the accountability that we've seen, I mean, Sean,

930
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's usually no accountability for anyone. So even

931
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: the fact that they're getting reassigned to administrative positions, you know,

932
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: that shows you that there are some problems here. Um,

933
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: and so so let's just let the facts come out.

934
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: But I really really am skeptical of hearing from some

935
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: of these people who knew there was leaking going on

936
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: in their agencies acting like going through a normal legal

937
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: process to release this information to the public is somehow

938
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: going to be what actually damages national security, not what

939
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: they were doing for months and months. What is coming

940
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: in behind this because there are a lot of other

941
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: issues that still need to be investigated. Uh, are we

942
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 1: getting a handle on on other documents? Because it takes

943
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: forever to get you know, these varying departments to turn

944
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: over the information so that we can make conclusions. Are

945
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: we going to now accelerate the process to get a

946
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: lot of the information we need? Are we getting that information?

947
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: So there's there is going to be uh second phase

948
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: of this that that could result in another memo, um

949
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: that that that gets into issues related to this. I

950
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: think absolutely there is going to be a need for

951
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: us to do more public investigation based on the questions

952
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: that are both answered and raised by this memo. So

953
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: I view the memo as a very important step. But

954
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't view the memo as the final step in

955
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: this process because I think there's a lot more stuff

956
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: that we're going to have to have to answer. No,

957
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: I think so too. UM, I guess the main thing

958
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: what will the average persons draw from all of this

959
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: that that we really did have a concerted effort of

960
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: and again this is not rank and file FBI, d

961
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: o J or intelligence officials, but that we did have

962
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: a concerted effort to help one candidate over another and

963
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: then use the powerful tools of intelligence to accelerate that effort.

964
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: Is that a fair characteration? A characterization? I think that

965
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: if you look at the Hillary and then this, and

966
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: that's the same cast of characters. I mean, struck Page, McCabe,

967
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: call me all the same people in both investigations. Um,

968
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: not representative of the FBI as a whole or d

969
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: o J. In every instance with Hillary, they bent over

970
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: backwards not to make a case against her. With the

971
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: what I think the memo will show was that they

972
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: basically relied on very thin gruel to be able to

973
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: put forward this collusion narrative. And so it's the complete

974
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: opposite in terms of the zealousness. They were under zealous

975
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 1: against Hillary and they were over zealous against Trump. Well,

976
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that tells on. I mean, are

977
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: you convinced when you look at the exoneration that was

978
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: being built months before the investigation into Hillary's email server,

979
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: and then you look at the evidence, and then you

980
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: look at eighteen US Code seven nine and the Espionage

981
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: Act about mishandling destruction of classified top secret Special Access

982
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: Program information, all of which were on Hillary's server in

983
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: a mom and pop shop bathroom closet. And then you

984
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: look at the actions thereafter subpoena emails were deleted, and

985
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: then you had the hard drives acid washed and bleach

986
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: bit and then you had devices being busted up with hammers.

987
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: That to me seems like an obstruction case on the surface, uh,

988
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: and a very strong one at that. Um should this

989
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: now be revisited, I think it will be. I think that.

990
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: I think what they're waiting for is this Inspector General's report. Remember,

991
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats wanted the i G to look at how

992
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: Hillary was handled, particularly with regards to Comey reopening the case.

993
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: They thought that that was important for the election results,

994
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: and they were really upset about that. But what's happened

995
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: is as the i G has dug into this, the

996
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: evidence has been not that there was an anti Clinton bias,

997
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: but that there was a pro Clinton bias and anti

998
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 1: Trump bias in the FBI. So I think that's gonna

999
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: be made clear, and I think it's important to point

1000
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: out your viewers. I'm not alleging, and none of my

1001
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: colleagues are alleging that the FBI is bias in favor

1002
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: of Dems against Republicans. It's not a partisan thing. The

1003
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: the animus was really directed against Donald Trump as an individual.

1004
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: You may not have had the same view if you

1005
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: had a different Republican. So I don't think it's about

1006
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: party as much as it is about they did not

1007
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: believe Trump should be president. Um. And if you think

1008
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: about you know, do we want a country where the

1009
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: American people get to make their choices or do we

1010
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: want a country in which nameless face of the lists,

1011
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: bureaucrats in positions of power get to try to undermine

1012
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: the people's choice. I mean, so it's a very critical

1013
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: issue that it boils down to, all right, Ron de

1014
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: Santa's he is a member of the Freedom Call because

1015
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 1: making a run for the governorship in the great state

1016
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: of Florida will take a break right as we continue

1017
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: run to Santas is with us, he is with the

1018
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus. Addressing when we might get the release of

1019
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: the memo. Um, I'm hearing maybe as early as tonight,

1020
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: probably no later than tomorrow. Let the American people decide. Um,

1021
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: you've decided you're gonna leave Congress and you're gonna run

1022
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: for governor of the great State of Florida. So you're

1023
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna be my future governor, I hope. Oh yeah, absolutely,

1024
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: And we're gonna be banging on your door to move

1025
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: the operations down to I want to move the operation down.

1026
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: I've got to get Fox's permission. I want to go.

1027
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: And did you see what they did to me last night?

1028
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: It was it was twelve degrees without the windshill last night,

1029
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: and add me doing a show outside, it was brutal. Well,

1030
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: you should talk to to your buddy Rush about the

1031
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: amount of money he saved coming down to Florida. So

1032
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: it'll be a good and we'd much rather you haven't

1033
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: spending be spending that money in Florida than be sending

1034
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: that to Andrew Cuomo. That's just better off for the country. Well, no,

1035
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: I agree, And by the way, Governor Cuomo doesn't want

1036
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: people like me in New York. Did you ever hear

1037
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: him say people that are pro life and believe in

1038
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment? You know, we have no but we

1039
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: are not New Yorkers, So I'm not a real New

1040
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: Yorker apparently. So I'll take my ten percent that they

1041
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: steal for me every year, and I'll save when I die.

1042
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: Uh for you'll take another ten percent. You know, they

1043
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: literally pick in your pocket everywhere you go in New York.

1044
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: You know it's like fourteen dollars now to cross a

1045
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: bridge in New York. Giver hear that? I mean, I'll

1046
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: tell you. The thing is is you you get hit

1047
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: over with these tolls, which is bad enough, But the

1048
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: thing is the roads are still all bumpy. And that

1049
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: good luck in the run for governor. Rhonda Santis will

1050
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: miss you in Washington though. Nine for one, Shaun as

1051
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: told free telephone number. When we come back, News Round Up,

1052
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Information Overload, John McLaughlin Doug Show will stop by, and

1053
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: some of the polls on the president's speech are absolutely

1054
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: through the roof. We'll tell you about that next, Ladies

1055
01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Today that promise is being can by an

1056
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: administration that callously appraises our worthiness and decides who makes

1057
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: the cut and who can be bargained away. They're turning

1058
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: American life into a zero sum game where for one

1059
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: to win, another must lose. Where we can guarantee America's

1060
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: safety if we slash our safety net, where we can

1061
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: extend healthcare in Mississippi, if we gut it in Massachusetts.

1062
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,959
Speaker 1: We can cut taxes for corporations today if we raise

1063
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: them on families tomorrow, where we can take care of

1064
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: sick kids. If we sacrifice dreamers. We're bombarded with one

1065
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: false choice after another, coal miners or single moms, rural

1066
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: communities or inner cities, the coast or the heartland, As

1067
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: if the mechanic in Pittsburgh, a teacher in Tulsa, and

1068
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: at daycare worker in Birmingham are bitter rivals rather than

1069
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: mutual casualties of a system forcefully rigged towards those at

1070
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: the top. As if the parent who lies awake terrified

1071
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: that their transgender son or daughter will be beaten and

1072
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: bullied at school is any more or less legitimate, and

1073
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: a parent whose heart is shattered by a daughter and

1074
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: the grips of an opioid addiction. So here is the

1075
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: is the answer? The Democrats offered tonight, we choose both.

1076
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: Looking at President Nixon during one of his State of

1077
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: the unions where he's talking about the Watergate investigation, I

1078
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: just want to play that by it because it's it's

1079
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: sort of an interesting look back in the history how

1080
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: he handled it. I would like to add a personal

1081
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: word with regard to an issue that has been a

1082
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: great concern to all Americans over the past year. I refer,

1083
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: of course, to the investigations of the so called Watergate affair.

1084
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: As you know, I have provided to the Special prosecutor

1085
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:00,080
Speaker 1: voluntarily a great deal of material. I believe the I

1086
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: have provided all the material that he needs to conclude

1087
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: his investigations and to proceed to prosecute the guilty and

1088
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: to clear the innocence. I believe the time has come

1089
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: to bring that investigation and the other investigations of this

1090
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: matter to an end. One year of water date is

1091
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: enough and interesting to hear the response there from obviously Republicans.

1092
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: There are they succeeding in sowing the seeds of doubt here,

1093
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: Like I keep coming back. You had a front row

1094
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: seat to Nixon, and we're there moments like a youth,

1095
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: a boy Nixon is actually doing a good job of

1096
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 1: of of of undermining this investigation. But to turn out

1097
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't right. Well, it was a different time. For

1098
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: one thing, he didn't have the constant plate that was

1099
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: going on across the wide spectrum of everything Nixon had

1100
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: Fox News. Does he survived, Well, he didn't have Fox News.

1101
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: All right, So there you have it. Joseph Kennedy, I

1102
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: don't even know what was going on. What did they

1103
01:05:57,640 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: put on his faith? Was he was a druel or

1104
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: was it too much? I don't know, like it looked

1105
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: like chapstick or something. I mean, everybody had picked up

1106
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: on it. And then of course we have you know

1107
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: CNN Conspiracy Shown Network Conspiracy TV, MSNBC, you know push

1108
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: Trump as nineteen seventy four, Richard Nixon. Okay, uh, give

1109
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: me the evidence anyway. Joining us with reaction all this

1110
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: president had massive poll numbers last night, good reaction to

1111
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: the speech. One in particular that stood out in my

1112
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: mind was the CBS News poll. And among those speech

1113
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: watchers approving of the president's speech last night, Joining us

1114
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: to discuss poster founder McLaughlin and associates John McLaughlin Doug

1115
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 1: shown poster, author, political analyst, Fox News Channel contributor, and

1116
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,959
Speaker 1: Doug I start with you. I mean, I I gotta

1117
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: believe this was a page right out of your handbook,

1118
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: because this is something you you preach, regardless who who's

1119
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: in power, that you want them to go to the middle,

1120
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: you want them to reach out, you want you know,

1121
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: some can iliatory tones. You can't that. You can't deny

1122
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: that the president threw that out last night. I have

1123
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: no reason to deny. I can only enthusiastically embrace and

1124
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: saying Sean, when he asked you what to do and

1125
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: how to advance his interests, say, Sean said, to keep

1126
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: doing what you did in the State of the Union

1127
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: and what you did in Davos, because you know what's

1128
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: on it works and it worked last night. Um. It

1129
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: did work in dollars, It did work last night. UM.

1130
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: But the reality is has never been a president as

1131
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: hated and has attacked in history as this one. John McLaughlin,

1132
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: you now have every minute of every day on two

1133
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: cable news networks, three broadcast networks, and so called big

1134
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: newspapers going at him with a fury seven. They don't stop.

1135
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever talked about his accomplishments. I mean, except for

1136
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: somebody like me and a few of us right right,

1137
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: and and and I wouldn't he has hated because he's

1138
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: intensely liked by millions of Americans. It's the elites that

1139
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: hate him because he is turning things inside out. And

1140
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: by the way, those same media elites that don't like him,

1141
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: they want to thank them for their increased ratings. Last night,

1142
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the Ford the Ford Broadcast TV

1143
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: Networks had a increased rating of nineteen percent according to

1144
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: the early numbers over last year Barack Obama's State of

1145
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: the Union. So he's increasing the ratings for all them.

1146
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: Millions of Americans are watching. And according to the CBS Paul,

1147
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 1: among over a thousand people who watched the last night,

1148
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, seventy five percent of all voters of

1149
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 1: that watched approved of what he of his speech last night,

1150
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: including percent of Republicans, seventy percent of independence, but forty

1151
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: three percent of Democrats approved of it, while all those

1152
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 1: Democrats were sitting on their hands, and uh one percent

1153
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: of those who watched that he was trying to unite

1154
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: the country rather than divide it, pent like what they

1155
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: heard on infrast structure, like what they heard on national security.

1156
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 1: Sev liked what they heard on immigration, even though uh

1157
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 1: Congressman Gutira, as a Democrat, got up and walked out

1158
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: while the Congress was cheering Usa, USA. I mean, the

1159
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Democrats look so out of touch, the congressional leadership, Nancy Pelosi,

1160
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, those Democrats who sat on their hands when

1161
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,560
Speaker 1: when we were platting American heroes. That speech was not

1162
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,600
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump last night as much as about what

1163
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: his accomplishments have done for average people. Listen. I think,

1164
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: I think the most indicative example we have is the

1165
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: reaction was so positive to the President's speech last night.

1166
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: CNN had their own survey where seventy percent of their

1167
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: viewers gave the speech a positive rating, and then see

1168
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: Ann put on their disclaimer on their own poll. The

1169
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: poll does not and cannot reflect the views of all Americans.

1170
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: In other words, they're like begging over a scene and

1171
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: they don't go by our poll. This can't be true,

1172
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, God, don't let this be true. Right. It's

1173
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: just the media elites that are so so out of whack.

1174
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the Trump de rangement syndrome of those people

1175
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: who drink you know, water inside the Beltway have been

1176
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: affected by this. Yeah, look, I you know when they

1177
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: sit on their hands or in the case of Gatierras,

1178
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, getting up when it's chanting USA, USA. But

1179
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: when the president's touting two point four million jobs created,

1180
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: when the president's talking about higher wages and bonuses, and

1181
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi refers to thousand dollars two thousand dollar bonuses

1182
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: as crumbs. Um. I know, looking at my own life,

1183
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 1: Doug shown a thousand dollars two thousand dollar bonus at

1184
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: different points in my life would have made a massive,

1185
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: massive difference in my life. Or the lowest level of

1186
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: recorded unemployment in the African American and Hispanic communities, or

1187
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: securing the border, or even you know, his work in

1188
01:10:55,720 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: terms of neutralizing ISIS and defeating them in Iraq, for example.

1189
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 1: There's nothing that made them happy. Nothing, There's no accomplishment

1190
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: that they can point to because they hate him so much. Well, look, Sean,

1191
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 1: I was with the CEO today who showed me his

1192
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 1: internal payroll and it said amount of benefit due two

1193
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: tax cuts per employee and the amount of bonus payments.

1194
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 1: That is huge stuff. And the Republicans impackage it. They

1195
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: can turn around a political situation that until recently has

1196
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: favored the Democrats. And I would tell my Democratic friends,

1197
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: not many listen to you, Sean, that they should um.

1198
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: But I would say to them, negotiate with the president

1199
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: rather than blasting him, Say Okay, where's the proof, What

1200
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 1: do you want to do? How can we get deals done?

1201
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: Then and only then can you legitimately disagree on policy

1202
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: if those disagreements, as I believe they do, continue to exist.

1203
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 1: But to just do what Pelosi did is just ridiculous. Shot.

1204
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: I was embarrassed as an American, not just as a Democrat,

1205
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: but as an American for the rhetoric to hate, the bile,

1206
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: and frankly, the ignorance. What is your take on Joe Kennedy?

1207
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know what to make of

1208
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 1: what was going on, and hanging down from his lip

1209
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: or it looked like I don't know, chapstick vastly, I

1210
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 1: don't know what people put on their lips these days.

1211
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't put anything on mine. But and then Joe Kennedy,

1212
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: it seemed like such a stretch to go from the

1213
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,600
Speaker 1: president State of the Union and then to have a

1214
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 1: Massachusetts liberal with a big name that's loaded give a speech.

1215
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:42,599
Speaker 1: I just thought the optics of it were horrible for them.

1216
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: John Well, I think I think you hit the nail

1217
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: in the head is older. In the speech, you saw

1218
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: nothing but tired old liberals. I mean literally Bernie Sanders,

1219
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, I mean the liberals across the

1220
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: across the screen who were there don't represent their party.

1221
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 1: So they said, look, well let's find a young liberal.

1222
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: They'll be wrong and out of touch, and let's lose.

1223
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: When that happens, I have a known last name, right right,

1224
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: So they're going back to the bridge. So so so

1225
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: Ted Kennedy is with us anymore? Well, who do we got?

1226
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: So they found a young, out of touch liberals. So uh.

1227
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: But the reality of this is the president has been

1228
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: very successful in this first year. His numbers, as as

1229
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,719
Speaker 1: we all know, have been grinding up on his job approval.

1230
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Where we had his last poll in this month it

1231
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: was job approval, Republicans were still losing for Congress. Higher.

1232
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: There a hidden Trump support level out there. Well, it's

1233
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: it's hidden when you don't look for it. I mean,

1234
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,520
Speaker 1: when a lot of these media polls don't Paull Republicans.

1235
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,839
Speaker 1: They have us in the twenties and and on election

1236
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 1: Day November we were thirty We should be over thirty

1237
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: percent in the polls. And that's what Appole does. Rasmus

1238
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 1: in Politico. The Fox News poll that had him turning

1239
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: up finally had Republicans. So if you if you make

1240
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: it look like an actual election, he hasn't been that bit. However,

1241
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: last night the polls don't capture this. And we're going

1242
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: back in the field on Monday for for next week. Right,

1243
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,600
Speaker 1: stay right there, we we gotta take a break up.

1244
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk abouten and what that looks like for Republicans

1245
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: and Democrats on the other side of this. Right, as

1246
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,640
Speaker 1: we continue, Doug shown the poster and John McLaughlin the

1247
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: posters with us. All right, Doug, let's go to uh.

1248
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Usually in these off year elections, the party that is

1249
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,759
Speaker 1: in power in the White House tends to lose seats.

1250
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,799
Speaker 1: The question is is there an opportunity for the Democrats

1251
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: to ever get control of the House or of the Senate.

1252
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: I would argue if that happens, the Democrats would move

1253
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: towards impeachment for no reason, but they would try. I

1254
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: think it would be bad for the country. Well, I

1255
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: think certainly if there is a Democratic House, they will try.

1256
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: And one of the things that is just a built

1257
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: an advantage to the Democrats, like redistricting isn't a built

1258
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: in advantage of the Republicans, is the fact with Trey

1259
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:16,640
Speaker 1: Goudy's retirement, there will be forty Republicans who do not

1260
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: seek re election. So I think, John, you may have

1261
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: a different opinion. I think it's about fifty fifty now

1262
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 1: whether the Democrats win the House. I doubt they win

1263
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: the Senate, but I do think there's a good chance

1264
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: they could win the House. John, Well, I think there's

1265
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 1: always been concerned about the House because I mean, uh,

1266
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: eight years ago, I was working for ri can The

1267
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: Democrats are taking a playbook. They're taking a play out

1268
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: of a Canner's book, where can correctly because it was

1269
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: bad policy. Had all the Republicans vote against stimulus, all

1270
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: the Republicans vote against Obama's budget, all the Republicans vote

1271
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: against Obamacare because it was bad policy, and he wouldn't

1272
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: compromise with us, so we regained the House. This is

1273
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 1: different in that Trump's these are good, as we saw

1274
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: last night, and and in these early polling is their

1275
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: majority popular and the Democrats are the ones out of touch.

1276
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 1: So the Republicans have a challenge here where initially there

1277
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 1: seems to be a backlash against Republicans, and even in

1278
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: our poll this month we had the generic vote plus

1279
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: three Democrat. But the Republicans need to expose the Democrat

1280
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: policies that they won't reach out on infrastructure, they won't

1281
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: reach out on rational immigration policies, on national security, they

1282
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 1: can't stand for a guy who ran away from the

1283
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 1: North Korean dictator uh, and and and for American heroes

1284
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: that a marine who really re enlisted who had lost

1285
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,480
Speaker 1: both his legs and was blind. I mean, the Democrats

1286
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: needed to show some element that they're willing to share

1287
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: values with us and compromise on majority important things. So

1288
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't think this is like uh, eight years ago

1289
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: and we regained the House. I think this is a

1290
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 1: moment here where the Democrats seems to be going off.

1291
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 1: They're not a doug shown Democrat, They're not a reasonable

1292
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,640
Speaker 1: group of Democrats. Did have somebody that we should negotiate with,

1293
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: and don't encourage them to be either, you know, just

1294
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: let them keep going down their Mary Nancy Pelosi road

1295
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 1: that they're on. Uh. And I don't think they helped

1296
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: themselves last night either by sitting on their hands, and

1297
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: they looked angry, petulant, childlike at times. I don't. I

1298
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 1: don't think the optics were good sitting on your hands

1299
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: when you're talking about America coming back and Americans being successful, non,

1300
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: I tend to agree and Shaw and the other advantage

1301
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: that Democrats have is given the non dedaptability of state

1302
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: and local taxes and the weakness of the Republicans on

1303
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 1: both coasts, the Demos that's in a certain sets could

1304
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: actually win the House through California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Washington,

1305
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 1: and Oregon. That could be enough to swing the House.

1306
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 1: That being said, I agree the optics were to me

1307
01:17:56,040 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: just ridiculous, embarrassing, embarrassing. All right, guys, good to talk

1308
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: to you. We'll be checking in all throughout the year.

1309
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: This is our first temperature check on election November, so

1310
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of time between now and then,

1311
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: although time flies. Thank you both, Doug Show and John

1312
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 1: McLaughlin eight nine one Shawn Tolfrey telephone number. As we

1313
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: continue your calls and part of the President's speech from

1314
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: last night next alight till the top of the hour

1315
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 1: one Shawn Tolfree telephone number. You know, I want to

1316
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 1: do something here. I actually thought last night State of

1317
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: the Union was as close to Reagan as I've seen

1318
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: since Reagan. And so what we did is we've we've

1319
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 1: taken the best of last night's hour and a half

1320
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: speech and and we want to play some of the

1321
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: best chunks of it for you because the media doesn't

1322
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 1: want to focus in on these specific things, so we

1323
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: want to make it different. So here's the President from

1324
01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: last night, Mr Speaker, Mr Vice President, Members of Congress,

1325
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:05,640
Speaker 1: the First Lady of the United States, and my fellow Americans.

1326
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: Less than one year has passed since I first stood

1327
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 1: at this podium in this majestic chamber to speak on

1328
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: behalf of the American people and to address their concerns,

1329
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: their hopes, and their dreams. That night, our new administration

1330
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 1: had already taken very swift action. A new tide of

1331
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: optimism was already sweeping across our land. Each day since,

1332
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: we have gone forward with a clear vision and a

1333
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: righteous mission to make America great again for all Americans.

1334
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: Over the last year, we have made incredible progress and

1335
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: achieved extraordinary success. We have faced challenges we expected and

1336
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: others we could never have imagined. We have shared in

1337
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: the heights of victory and the pains of hardship. We

1338
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 1: have endured floods and fires and storms. But through it all,

1339
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: we have seen the beauty of America's soul and the

1340
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 1: steel in America's spine. In the aftermath of that terrible shooting,

1341
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: we came together not as Republicans are democrats, but as

1342
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: representatives of the people. But it is not enough to

1343
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: come together only in times of tragedy. Tonight I call

1344
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: upon all of us to set aside our differences, to

1345
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we

1346
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: need to deliver for the people. This is really the key.

1347
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: These are the people we were elected to serve. Over

1348
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 1: the last year, the world has seen what we always knew,

1349
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: that no people on earth are so fearless or daring

1350
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 1: or determined as Americans. If there is a mountain, we climate.

1351
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 1: If there's a frontier, we cross it. If there's a challenge,

1352
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: we tame it. If there's an opportunity, we season. So

1353
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 1: let's begin tonight by recognizing that the state of Our

1354
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:24,639
Speaker 1: union is strong because our people are strong, and together

1355
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: we are building a safe, strong and proud America. Since

1356
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:34,759
Speaker 1: the election, we have created two point four million new jobs,

1357
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 1: including including two hundred thousand new jobs in manufacturing alone,

1358
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: tremendous men. After years and years of wage stagnation, we

1359
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:58,600
Speaker 1: are finally seeing rising wages. Unemployment claims have hit a

1360
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: forty five year low, and something I'm very proud of.

1361
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 1: African American unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded,

1362
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 1: and Hispanic American unemployment has also reached the lowest levels

1363
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 1: in history. Small business confidence is at an all time high.

1364
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 1: The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining

1365
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: eight trillion dollars and more in value in just this

1366
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: short period of time. The great news, the great news

1367
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:48,879
Speaker 1: for America's four oh one k retirement, pension and college

1368
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: savings accounts have gone through the roof. And just as

1369
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: I promised the American people from this podium eleven months ago,

1370
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history.

1371
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: Since we passed tax cuts, roughly three million workers have

1372
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: already gotten tax cut bonuses, many of them thousands and

1373
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars per worker, and it's getting more every month,

1374
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: every week. Apple has just announced it plans to invest

1375
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 1: a total of three hundred and fifty billion dollars in

1376
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 1: America and hire another twenty thousand workers. And just a

1377
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 1: little while ago, x On Mobile announced a fifty billion

1378
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: dollar investment in the United States. Just a little while,

1379
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 1: this in fact, is our new American moment. There has

1380
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: never been a better time to start living the American dream.

1381
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 1: So to every citizen watching at home tonight, no matter

1382
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: where you've been or where you've come from, this is

1383
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:12,919
Speaker 1: your time. If you work hard, if you believe in yourself,

1384
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: if you believe in America, then you can dream anything,

1385
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 1: You can be anything, and together we can achieve absolutely anything.

1386
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: Here tonight is Preston Sharp, a twelve year old boy

1387
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: from Reading, California, who noticed that veterans graves were not

1388
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: marked with flags on Veterans Day. He decided all by

1389
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 1: himself to change that and started a movement that has

1390
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 1: now placed forty thousand flags at the graves of our

1391
01:24:53,240 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 1: great heroes. Preston, a job well done. Young patriots like

1392
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 1: Preston teach all of us about our civic duty as

1393
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 1: American and I met Preston a little while ago, and

1394
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: he is something very special that I can tell you

1395
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: great future. Thank you very much for all you've done, Preston,

1396
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Preston's reverence for those who have

1397
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 1: served our nation reminds us of why we salute our flag,

1398
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 1: why we put our hands on our hearts, for the

1399
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: pledge of allegiance, and why we proudly stand for the

1400
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 1: national anthem. America has also finally turned the page decades

1401
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: of unfair trade deals that sacrificed our prosperity and shipped

1402
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: away our companies, our jobs, and our wealth. Our nation

1403
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 1: has lost its wealth, but we're getting it back so fast.

1404
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: The era of economic surrender is totally over. From now on,

1405
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 1: we expect trading relationships to be fair and very importantly reciprocal.

1406
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 1: We will work to fix bad trade deals and negotiate

1407
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 1: new ones, and they'll be good ones, but they'll be fair,

1408
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: and we will protect American workers and American intellectual property

1409
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: through strong enforcement of our trade rules. For decades, open

1410
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 1: borders have allowed drugs and gangs to pour into our

1411
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: most vulnerable communities. They've allowed millions of low wage workers

1412
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: to compete for jobs and wages against the poorest Americans.

1413
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 1: Most tragically, they have caused the loss of many innocent lives.

1414
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:10,680
Speaker 1: Here tonight, our two fathers and two mothers, Evelyn Rodriguez,

1415
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: Freddie Quavers, Elizabeth Alvarado, and Robert Mickens, their two teenage daughters,

1416
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 1: Kayla Quavers and Nissa Mickens, were close friends on Long Island.

1417
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 1: But in September two thousand and sixteen, on the eve

1418
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 1: of Niece's sixteenth birthday, such a happy time it should

1419
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: have been, neither of them came home. These two precious

1420
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: girls were brutally murdered while walking together in their hometown.

1421
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 1: Six members of the Savage Ms thirteen gang have been

1422
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 1: charged with Kayla and Niece's murders. Many of these gang

1423
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: members took advantage of glaring the poles in our laws

1424
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: to enter the country as illegal unaccompanied alien minors and

1425
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:17,440
Speaker 1: wound up in Kayla and Niece's high school. Evelyn, Elizabeth,

1426
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: Freddy and Robert. Tonight, everyone in this chamber is praying

1427
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:27,639
Speaker 1: for you. Everyone in America is grieving for you. Please, Dan,

1428
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I want you to know that

1429
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty million hearts are right now breaking

1430
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 1: for you, We love you, Thank you. The United States

1431
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 1: is a compassionate nation. We are proud that we do

1432
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 1: more in any other country anywhere in the world to

1433
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 1: help the needy, the struggling, and the underprivileged all over

1434
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: the world. But as President of the United States, my

1435
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: highest loyalty, my greatest compassion, my constant concern is for

1436
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:26,479
Speaker 1: America's children, America's struggling workers, and America's forgotten communities. I

1437
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: want our youth to grow up to achieve great things.

1438
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 1: I want our poor to have their chance to rise.

1439
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:39,679
Speaker 1: So tonight I am extending an open hand to work

1440
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: with members of both parties, Democrats and Republicans, to protect

1441
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 1: our citizens of every background, color, religion, and creed. My duty,

1442
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 1: and the sacred duty of every elected official in this

1443
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: Chamber is to defend Americans, to protect their safety, their families,

1444
01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:10,400
Speaker 1: their communities, and their right to the American dream. Because

1445
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:26,680
Speaker 1: Americans are dreamers too. All Americans deserve accountability and respect,

1446
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 1: and that's what we are giving to our wonderful heroes,

1447
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:37,560
Speaker 1: our veterans. Thank you. So tonight I call on Congress

1448
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 1: to empower every Cabinet secretary with the authority to reward

1449
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:46,600
Speaker 1: good workers and to remove federal employees who undermine the

1450
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:52,799
Speaker 1: public trust or fail the American people. We are joined

1451
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:57,839
Speaker 1: by one more witness to the ominous nature of this regime.

1452
01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 1: His name is Mr. Ge sung Ho. Sung Ho was

1453
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 1: a starving boy in North Korea. One day, he tried

1454
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: to steal coal from a railroad car to bother for

1455
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 1: a few scraps of food, which were very hard to get.

1456
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: In the process, he passed out on the train tracks,

1457
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 1: exhausted from hunger. He woke up as a train ran

1458
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 1: over his limbs. He then endured multiple amputations without anything

1459
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 1: to dull the pain or the hurt. His brother and

1460
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:40,599
Speaker 1: sister gave what little food they had to help him recover,

1461
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 1: and ate dirt themselves, permanently stunting their own growth. Later,

1462
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: he was tortured by North Korean authorities after returning from

1463
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:56,600
Speaker 1: a brief visit to China. His tormentors wanted to know

1464
01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 1: if he'd met any Christians. He had, and he resolved

1465
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 1: after that to be free. Sung Ho travel thousands of

1466
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 1: miles on crutches all across China and Southeast Asia to freedom.

1467
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: Most of his family followed. His father was caught trying

1468
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 1: to escape and was tortured to death. Today he lives

1469
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 1: in Seoul, where he rescues other defectors and broadcasts into

1470
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:32,799
Speaker 1: North Korea what the regime fears most the truth. Today

1471
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 1: he has a new leg. But Song Ho, I understand

1472
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 1: you still keep those old crutches as a reminder of

1473
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:45,600
Speaker 1: how far you've come. Your great sacrifice is an inspiration

1474
01:32:46,840 --> 01:33:02,080
Speaker 1: to us all. Please, thank you, all right, have any tonight.

1475
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 1: We got a big show tonight as we are going

1476
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 1: to go over the state of the Union and uh,

1477
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:10,679
Speaker 1: the media's reaction to a Democrats reaction to it. Also,

1478
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: we can have the memo released as early as tonight.

1479
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,599
Speaker 1: So I am told may happen tonight, may happen tomorrow.

1480
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm told the latest would be Monday. Uh. New king
