00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: couple of breaking news stories. Four dead, four wounded in

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: a waffle house incident that we are following very closely,

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: and uh, anyway that's shooting. Suspect in that case is

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: in custody. Just sad. We have another breaking news story

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: that is particularly sad too is Toronto Police say that

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: one person in custody after uh, multiple pedestrians were hit

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: by a van in North Toronto. They say the person arrested,

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: the driver, the of the vehicle and the incident. In

32
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: that case, multiple pedestrians struck. Extent of the injuries are

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: expected to be pretty severe. So we'll continue to wait

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: watch monitor all of that for one. Shawn is our

35

Speaker 1: toll free telephone number if you want to be a

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: part of the program. A lot of news to get

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: to today. Yeah, I know, I mean, let let me

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: just say one thing before we get started. I'll deal

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: with this later in the program as we unfold here today,

40
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: but uh, just some very very simple things. It is

41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: should not be a surprise to anybody that for a

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: year on this program, on radio on TV, we have

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: been right on most of the issues involving the deep state.

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: Last week was a vindication on so many of those issues,

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: with congressional criminal referrals being sent to the Department of Justice,

46
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: uh numbers of them, including Comey and McCabe and people

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: like Hillary Clinton and Struck and Paige and Loretta Lynch

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: and so many others. And then an i G criminal

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: referral as it relates to Andrew McKay, this is the

50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: deputy FBI director. And then we now have an investigation

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: that is ongoing into ja I told Comey this was

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna happen, into James Comey and what James Comey was

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: involved in leaking information sation. And I think the President

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: makes a phenomenal point as it relates to James Comey,

55
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: and that is well, this investigation doesn't exist but for

56
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: the illegal leaking to get the special counsel, which we

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: all know that James Comey was involved in. And by

58
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: the way, I'm not even talking about the the surveillance,

59
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: the unmasking, the leaking of raw intelligence, the weaponizing of

60
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: the powerful tools of intelligence by certain upper echelon corrupt

61
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: people within the FBI, the d J and the intelligence

62
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: agencies that we have exposed, or the fiser abuses that

63
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: we have exposed, or the docier issues that we have exposed,

64
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: that judges are being lied to and information omitted to

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: get warrants on Americans UH In the weeks leading up

66
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: to uh an election, the Trump campaign associate bought and

67
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: paid for by Hillary not told to afise a judge,

68
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: all in an effort to obtain a FISA warrant to

69
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: spy on that campane through that one individual, and the

70
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: fact that none of that information was verified or corroborated,

71
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: lies that were told to the President elect Donald Trump.

72
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: You have deep state actors like Struck and Page and

73
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: McCabe talking about insurance policies. We've exposed all of that,

74
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: and then on top of that, exoneration letters written before

75
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: there is even an interview or investigation of Hillary and

76
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: seventeen other key people, and the very specific crimes that

77
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton has committed eighteen USC. Seven ninety three, which Incidentally,

78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: now James Comey is facing himself and the fact that

79
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Hillary you know, of course, obstructed justice by the leading

80
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: emails that were subpoenaed, acid washing and bleach bidding the

81
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: hard drive, and then of course you know, having an

82
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: aid beat the crap out of blackberries and iPhones. So

83
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: we have been at the forefront of being right all

84
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: the same while the corrupt destroy Trump media has been

85
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: advancing a narrative that we have no evidence of and

86
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: there will be no evidence of, which is Trump Russia collusion,

87
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: and that they have hysterically and breathlessly gone gone so

88
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: off course now it's you know, now it's about Stormy

89
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: Daniels and and Karen McDougall, and about the Universal Access

90
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: Hollywood tape. I mean, what does that have to do

91
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: with Trump Russia collusion. So it really isn't a surprise

92
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: that we that are involved, that we have been the

93
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: loudest voice, the biggest defender of a president that was

94
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: duly elected by you, the people, that very powerful deep

95
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: state actors tried to do everything within their power, even

96
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: clearly breaking laws UH to prevent from happening. And then

97
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: after he gets elected, all the efforts that they have

98
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: been engaged into delegitimize and the very hope of removing

99
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: this guy from office. And yeah, we are proudly you know.

100
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Look at the despite of all of that, the president

101
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: has made unbelievable inroads into approving our economy and making

102
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: the world a better and safer place and keeping the

103
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: promises that he made to the American people that you

104
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: wanted him to keep. So pretty unbelievable on so many

105
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: different levels. So the fact that I am attacked and

106
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: being held to standards that nobody else in the news business,

107
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: no anchor, no reporter, that nobody that I know of,

108
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: no contributor, nobody has ever been held to is not surprising.

109
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: And uh, the the the the absolute sick and ugly

110
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: and twisted lying that has gone on as it relates

111
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: to me, it's not unexpected. And it's been purposely mischaracterized

112
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: as an effort to destroy me too, because if I'm

113
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: a powerful defender of the president, of course my voice

114
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: is gone. Let's get rid of him, then we'll go

115
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: after Rush that we'll get marked, then we'll get everybody

116
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: else that defends the president. So I just I'll have

117
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: more to say it later. Everything is up on my

118
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: website Hannity dot com. Uh, as I have responded, and

119
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: all I'm going to respond to to be perfectly frank,

120
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: but um, I I get it, I understand it, and

121
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: I understand where they're all coming from. And uh, we're

122
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: not gonna stop doing what we do. This is you know,

123
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: America does need alternative voices here. And the fact that

124
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: nobody on the left ever stands up for any conservative

125
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: that's under fire. They're betraying their own principles that they

126
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: they they spout off all the time that they're the

127
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: big champions of freedom of speech. It's just not true.

128
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: Just like their policies. They claim to have a monopoly

129
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: of compassion, uh and play gender politics all the time,

130
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: but a monopoly of compassion on African American Hispanic Americans. Uh, well, okay,

131
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: we've had right now the lowest unemployment ever in the

132
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: African American and Hispanic American community. You know, it's conservatives

133
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: that have been the most outspoken against countries that abuse

134
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: women and kill gays and lesbians and persecute Christians and Jews.

135
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: It should have been a bigger issue in twenty sixteen,

136
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: but the media doesn't do any vetting. You know, it's

137
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: like like a lot of times in my career when

138
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: nobody else would vet Obama and talk about Frank Marshall

139
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Davis or talk about Acorn, or talk about o Lynsky,

140
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: or talk about Reverend right in the Church of g

141
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: D America, or talk about Airs and talk about Dorn.

142
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: And our good friend new Gangbridge is calling me up

143
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: saying your career is over if you keep if you

144
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: keep doing this, you're not gonna survive. And I said,

145
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: well then I'm not gonna survive. And I stayed on it.

146
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: And he wasn't the only one that told me to stop,

147
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: but I knew it was right, so I kept going.

148
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: And the fact that yeah, we were one of the

149
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: few people out here that believe Donald Trump could win

150
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: the presidency. Everybody in the media go back and let

151
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: watch that election night coverage. It was a funeral on

152
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: every single network. When he announced, they laughed, they mocked,

153
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: they ridiculed, they impugned, they did everything they could do.

154
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, they couldn't contain themselves in in laughter. And

155
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: then one by one he beat sixteen other well known

156
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: Republican challengers, and then he took on the entire Clinton

157
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: machine and then defeated her too, in spite of what

158
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: we now know was unprecedented access that they had actually

159
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: made into the Trump campaign files, which should scare every

160
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: civil libertarian in this country. But they avoid these big issues.

161
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: They avoid that a FISA judge was to in an

162
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: initial application, that that FISA judge was handed unverified, uncorroborated

163
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: information that they never told the judge. They withheld telling

164
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: the judge that the opposition party candidate paid for all

165
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: of these lies. You know, they failed to tell them

166
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: there was a foreign national, Christopher Steele, that was using

167
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: Russian and Russian government sources to build that dossier, and

168
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: they never did it for an entire year, as they

169
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: had three subsequent renewal applications, and the bulk of information

170
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: was that Clinton bought and paid for Russian propaganda document

171
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: put together by a foreign national. I thought foreign nationals

172
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: weren't supposed to impact our elections. And you know, Barack Obama,

173
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: everybody warned the Russians were gonna do this. Everybody was warned,

174
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: Devin new writing in the Washington Times. They did nothing,

175
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: and two weeks before the election, Obama's lecturing Trump pop

176
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: No serious person thinks anyone can impact our elections. A

177
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: stop whining because they all thought Hillary was gonna win home.

178
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: He admitted last week he thought Hillary was gonna win

179
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: and he wanted to legitimize her her victory by bringing

180
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: up Anthony Wiener's laptop just a couple of weeks before

181
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: the election. And I don't believe that's a true statement either,

182
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: as I also know that there were that there were

183
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: people in New York that knew that information existed on

184
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: that laptop, and that once that was known, that that

185
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: was gonna be exposed. At that point it was finally released.

186
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: You know, look at all the people with criminal referrals

187
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: in the last week or so. It's amazing. I told

188
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: I said at the beginning of this year, this is

189
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: the year of the Boomerang. I didn't know I'd be

190
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: this right, to be perfectly blunt, and there's so much

191
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: more coming, and that this is the tip of the iceberg.

192
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: This is only the beginning of exposure of these deep

193
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: state actors. And what it really came down to and

194
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: comes down to, is they have contempt for the American people,

195
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: and they thought they knew better, and they did everything

196
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: in their power to ensure that somebody that should have

197
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: been indicted got to continue in the race and aid

198
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: and a bet and assist that individual, Hillary and her

199
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: campaign in keeping a in the race and helping her

200
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: to win. And with all of those extraordinary obstacles, the

201
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: American people made a decision that a lot of these

202
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: people didn't like. They don't like Donald Trump style. They

203
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: don't like his politics. They don't like he's a disruptor.

204
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: They don't like he's an iconoclass. They don't like that

205
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: he tweets. They don't like that he speaks his mind.

206
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: They don't like his a gent There's nothing about the

207
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: man that he they like. He's never going to conform

208
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: to whatever standards they believe that that he ought to

209
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: have well the way they believe a president needs to

210
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: conduct themselves. But I think the American people, now, if

211
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: you watch these polls, the harder they pushed back against him,

212
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: the more popular they he becomes, because it's ricocheting back

213
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: on them. Because people can see the absolute hatred and

214
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: intensity and dishonesty in what is supposedly the news media

215
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: in this country today. Uh Rod Rosentine Rosenstein has now

216
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: taken a pause. We're gonna explain that when we get back,

217
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: we have so much news to get to, including a

218
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,160

240
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: of the Wall Street Journal here in front of me.

241
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: The hidden bombshell in the McCabe report, How did no

242
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: how did anybody not get ahold of this or figure

243
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: this out? And the news reports all focused on Andrew McCabe,

244
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: second in command, leaking information to the Wall Street Journal

245
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: or authorizing subordinates to do so and then lying to

246
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: investigators about it. Now, what's big news provided the account

247
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: is borne out by a subsequent criminal indictment, which it was, etcetera,

248
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: and successful prosecution. The bigger news here is that the

249
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal reported and picked up in all of this,

250
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: and we all missed it was that the Deputy Attorney

251
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: General Rod Rosenstein, viewed, as you know, Robert Muller's chief

252
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: protector in this Russia Gate phony collusion story, is quote

253
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: taking a pause now from his role as the Deputy

254
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: a g to argue some you know, new Mexico drug

255
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,479
Speaker 1: sentencing case before the Supreme Court that was previously unannounced

256
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: hiatus which will last for an undetermined period of time,

257
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: would apparently leave the Russia Gate investigation into the hands

258
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: of the Solicitor General Noel Francisco, who was this cribed

259
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: by Politico is quote a little known Trump appointee who

260
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: as an ax to grind against the FBI and James

261
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: comey okay, But does he have the power that Rosenstein

262
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: would Otherwise, how I have to believe he is if

263
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: he's filling that position. That's pretty interesting anyway, says despite

264
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: the managerial responsibility over thousands of Justice Department employees special

265
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: counsel Robert Muller among them, he considers himself a practicing attorney. First,

266
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: it sounds like an exit strategy to me as I

267
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: read this article, That's what it sounds like. And the

268
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: Solicitor General office will oversees the government Supreme Court doctor docket,

269
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: the Justice Department's top officials occasionally a pulled rank to

270
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: take the elector and for themselves. And so this is

271
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: all voluntary on Rosenstein's part. It will be the first

272
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: appearance for Mr Rosenstein, a longtime federal prosecutor um and

273
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: the Solicitor General Noel Francisco, you know, to give him

274
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: a eminal case to argue he's now obliged with a

275
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: case that stems from a bust in New Mexico. But anyway,

276
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: Rosenstein makes no uh complaint regarding the assignment. I don't

277
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: think it would be appropriate for me to be too picky.

278
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: He's approaching the cases if it were a landmark, studying

279
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: binders and briefs and precedents, undertaking two moot court sessions

280
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: before Justice Department attorneys, and preparing on nights and weekends.

281
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like Rob Rosenstein is gonna have too

282
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: much time left over to keep an eye on Muller

283
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: or this you know, whole Russia Gate thing, which is

284
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: nothing anyway, which needs to come to a speedy conclusion,

285
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: but by the way, apparently is former New York City

286
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Mayor Rudy Julianni's golden All of this all right, we

287
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: have a lot of news to get to today. I

288
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: mean a lot. This is only the tip of the iceberg.

289
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: An incredible interview by Devin Newness on Maria Barrett to

290
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: Romo's Show, and so much more we're gonna get to.

291
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: We have uh interesting politics, we have some good news

292
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: on the economy and elsewhere We're share and much much

293
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: more I've seen a white van with um with red

294
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: coloring on it, and always saw is that he smashed

295
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: into someone over there. Then I seen him smashing with

296
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: someone over there. Then I've seen him go ahead. I

297
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: thought he had a heart attack or something. So I

298
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: was trying to chase it down in a way, almost

299
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: trying to catch up to see what happened. All I've

300
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: seen is this guy is this crumble and he's going

301
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: seven d eighty clicks. He's just hitting people one by

302
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: one going down. Oh no, it was like it's a

303
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: nightmare I've seen. I was like, yeah, I got too young,

304
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: an empress and I've seen a lady with her her

305
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: leg and oh man, it's a gruesome scene is really bad.

306
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: I saw cops everywhere. I saw a tow truck driver's

307
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: and I saw an ambulance teams and I walked up

308
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: the street, I saw body bags. So far, I've seen

309
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: the three body bags myself. I've seen people's shoes on

310
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: the ground, which I've been mentioning over and over, and

311
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: I've seen people everywhere. Seen ambulances are scary in Toronto

312
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: and this is starting to app so it's you know,

313
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: why did you want to specific that we mentioned because

314
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: a loved one will recognize those shoes, right, your loved

315
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: one would recognize your shoes. It's a small thing, but

316
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: your shoes are no longer attached to your person there

317
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: next to your your corpse, because you've been murdered, you know,

318
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: because a van drove over your body until your body

319
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: was dead. All right. That was we were following two

320
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: very difficult stories today. There were four killed, four injured

321
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: in a waffle house in Tennessee. I love waffle house.

322
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: Anyone that's ever been on the road with me knows

323
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: that if there's a waffle house, we're going to eat there. Uh.

324
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: And uh, a terrible, terrible tragedy there that what you

325
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: just heard was an eye witness to a van that

326
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: struck numerous pedestrians. Uh in Uh in Toronto and uh

327
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: apparently we now say multiple pedestrians are hit and initially

328
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: they reported eight to ten. Anthony Fury is with the

329
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Toronto Sun, is a columnist and an editor. Uh. First

330
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: of all, I thought some prayers are with these families. Uh,

331
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like a terrible tragedy. What's the lightest patian?

332
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: Always great to chat with you, but under these circumstances

333
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: in the city. I love really horrible news. Of course,

334
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: the latest five people are killed in this incident. Five

335
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: people have been pronounced dead, another seven are in hospital

336
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: and news that just broke uh really a couple of

337
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: minutes ago, because they know you're gonna ask me, you know,

338
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: what do we know about this guy what he was

339
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: getting up to? While we've just had confirmed that the

340
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: Chief of the Defense Staff for the whole country about

341
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: to step into a full briefing on the incident, and

342
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: a strategic advisory alert has gone out to military commanders

343
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: across the country on this vehicular ramming. That was a

344
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: rental van that the individual drove up onto the sidewalk,

345
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: plowed down about eight to ten people until he was

346
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: stopped by police. Now do we know anything was a

347
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: case that somebody did this on purpose? Do you believe

348
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: it's sort of like an act of terror or do

349
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: you believe maybe a drunken driver is somebody on drugs?

350
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: Do we know? Yeah, Well, the fact that the Chief

351
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: of Defense Staff has been briefed on it, and the

352
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: fact that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a statement pretty

353
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: much as soon as it happened, uh, that he had

354
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: been briefed on it suggests that there was something greater

355
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: going on here. The fact that the Prime Minister would

356
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: have been briefed uh so quickly on the matter by

357
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: probably federal law enforcement, suggests there was a reason for

358
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: to go up the ladder that quickly. That's usually not

359
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: the protocol here. Plus, we got eyewitness reports on the ground.

360
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: There are some video out there that shows the man

361
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: emerging from his vehicle confronting police. It looks like he's

362
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: holding a gun, but eyewitness says that he was actually

363
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: in fact holding a cell phone, pointing it out as

364
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: if he had a gun. And we have audio with

365
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: us of him saying I have a gun. I have

366
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: a gun, and that's when he was brought down by

367
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: the police officer. Not shot, but one one really brave

368
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: police officer managed to take him down. He is now

369
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: in custody. So the police officer. The police officer didn't

370
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: have a gun, but still charged that a guy that

371
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: likely had a gun. Yeah, pardon me, the police officer

372
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: did have a gun. He was holding it out. The

373
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: suspect was holding out what we believe was a cell

374
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: phone as if it was a gun. And then as

375
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: the police officer got closer. I guess he realized, no,

376
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a gun, it's just a cell phone.

377
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: So the police officer felt that he was able to

378
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: charge the guy. Those are the split second decisions that

379
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: these guys have to make, and it's such a hard job.

380
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: Anthony from the Toronto Sun columnist editor, thoughts and prayers

381
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: are with your city today. Thank you for being with us.

382
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: I wish under better circumstances, of course. Uh wow, just tragedy, unbelievable.

383
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: World is nuts, absolutely nuts. Uh, here's an incredible statistic.

384
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: You know, even with all of Russia Gate collapsing around

385
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: this country and all the narrative and and now the

386
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: fake news media and in a full fledged panic over everything,

387
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: as well as the Democratic Party. Uh you can see

388
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: this in Perez, now the Democratic, the d n C chair,

389
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: he is in a full fledged panic. You know, we've

390
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: seen a mountain of evidence of collusion between the Trump

391
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: campaign and Russia. And all this is is a lawsuit.

392
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: So he could dupe people. It's like a scheme into

393
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: help us fund our lawsuit. We did our homework, we

394
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: found the truth that no, okay, what is it? He

395
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: can't state it? What's his name, Adam Shift can't his

396
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: biggest liar in Congress, he can't state it. And all

397
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: the evidence points in the opposite direction that if there's

398
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: any collusion as it relates to Russia, well that's the

399
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: Clinton bought and paid for foreign national Christopher Steele dossier

400
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: with Russian lies to influence the American people. That's that's

401
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: the scandal. And we have other news on this as well.

402
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: But first of all, you know, fourteen states now have

403
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: set records for low unemployment, fourteen of them. Even with

404
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: all of this going on, the fake news media will

405
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: never report this today. I guarantee it. Anyway. In March

406
00:23:54,119 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: eight states saw record low's Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Oregon,

407
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin. Good for Wisconsin. California also set a new

408
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: record this month. And we're gonna follow this California primary

409
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: more closely. What is the guy's name that is came

410
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: in second behind Um, the lieutenant governor Gavin Newson, who

411
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: thinks he's going to be president one day. Anyway, it's

412
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: a Republican that's doing really well in the state of California.

413
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: How could it not do well now that it's a

414
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: sanctuary state. I mean, they're very clear lines of distinction.

415
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: All of the regulations that existed in the rest of

416
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: the country that were removed by Donald Trump, a lot

417
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: of them still are in play in California. Why does

418
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: that state need a thirteen and a half percent state

419
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: income tax when states like Florida and Texas and so

420
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: many others get by with zero state income tax. How

421
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: is that possible? You know, how do they get to

422
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: get government money when they're aiding and abetting and lawbreaking

423
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: by by identify them buying themselves as a sanctuary state. Anyway,

424
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: what's that? No, I don't think that's it. Well, it

425
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: continues to have the highest poverty rate in the nation California.

426
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: With all this money, they have the highest poverty rate

427
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: in the country. Their unemployment rate is four point one

428
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: and um, you know what's interesting about this is, you know,

429
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: look at Colorado's just two point six percent, among the

430
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: lowest in the nation. I mean, we have some of

431
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: the best job creation we've ever had in this country.

432
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: Now we're headed towards four million new jobs since Trump

433
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: selected H three. This is very good news because I

434
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: really have a deep respect for Mike Pompeo looks like

435
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: he will be the next Secretary of State. I know

436
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Ram Paul's against him. I often agree with rand but

437
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't on this one. But now three Senate Democrats

438
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: announced they gotta vote for Pompeo. And which is really good?

439
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: Democrat Joe Donnelly Indiana. Why Joe Donnelly? He wants to

440
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: keep his job? Uh? Um? What? John? What are you

441
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: talking about? Guy who bumped the other guy into second place?

442
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: He's running against that? Seems John Cox as a Republican.

443
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I've met with Director Pompeo. He's just

444
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: he's just done an incredible job. He was the one

445
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: negotiating with Kim Jong un behind the scenes to the

446
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: nuclearized the Korean peninsula. Um anyway. And then Joe Mansion

447
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: in West Virginia. Joe Mansion. It's the poor guy. He

448
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: tried to stand up and clap for Trump and he

449
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: was excoriated by the Democrats. He never vote, he rarely

450
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: votes against his party. But now he's up in a

451
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: tough reelection race. And I'm sorry, Joe, but you've had

452
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: multiple opportunities to stand up and be an independent Democrat

453
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: that you have not done. It. So he's in a

454
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: tough race, but he's gonna support Pompeo just frankly because

455
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: it's an election year. And I would say him the

456
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: same same goes for Heidi hike Camp of North Dakota,

457
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: and I think that's the only reason that they're doing it,

458
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: because it's an election year for all of them. Interesting

459
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: development as it relates to North Korea and Kim Jong Un,

460
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: Trump told Kim Jong Un that nuclear disarmament must come

461
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: before sanctions relief. Yeah, that's the that's actually the real priority.

462
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: You want to join the world community, dismantle all of

463
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: these nuclear sites, missile sites, and then guess what, then

464
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: sanctions relief happens. That's when it will occur. Anyway, So

465
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: we got that all right. On other notes, there was

466
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: an amazing interview by our friend Maria Barrett to Romo.

467
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: She works at our sister network, the Fox Business Network,

468
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: and she had Devin Newness on this weekend, and it

469
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: was absolutely phenomenal. When Devin Newness actually says there's no

470
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: official intelligence none that was used to launch the FBI's investigation,

471
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: uh into the Trump Russia probe. When you add that

472
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: to Trump's tweet this weekend. I think it makes sense

473
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: now without the illegal leak by James Comey, and there's

474
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: now an investigation into that. Without that illegal leak, there

475
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: is to the his professor friend, which he did for

476
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: the purpose of securing a special counsel. That was illegal

477
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: what he did. And again it's like Hillary violation eighteen USC. Seven.

478
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: You can't disclose or mishandling or classified information. Now you

479
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: add that to what Devin Nounas says here, there was

480
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: zero intelligence that was used to launch the Trump Russia

481
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: FBI probe. We'd never heard this before. I can tell

482
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: you what we do know. We do know that long

483
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: time associates of Hillary Clinton, including Sydney Blumenthal and another

484
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: person name I think Corey Sheer, we're actively giving information

485
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: to the State Department there was somehow making its way

486
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: to the FBI. This is from This is from two

487
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: people within the State Department who have now publicly come

488
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: out and said this and I think in major news publications.

489
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: So we know this. We know this was at least

490
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: from at least two witnesses who have publicly said this,

491
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: And so what we're trying to do is we're trying

492
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: to piece all that together We now know that there

493
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: was no official intelligence that was used to start this investigation.

494
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: We know that Sydney Blue Meanthal and others were pushing

495
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: information into the State Department. So we're trying to piece

496
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: all of that together, and that's why we continued to

497
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: look at the State Department. Then he went on to

498
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: say the d n C should soothe themselves over colluding

499
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: with Russia. Now why did Devin Unas say that, Because

500
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: the d n C, remember it took a year to

501
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: get the information. Remember Fusion GPS. They never verified foreign

502
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: national Christopher Steele's dossier. But we found out after a

503
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: year that Hillary's campaign and the d n C used

504
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: the same law firm to funnel the money that ended

505
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: up going to Fusion GPS. They hire Christopher Steele, Christopher

506
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: Steel uses Russian and Russian government sources, and here we

507
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: go again. It's pretty unbelievable. Listen to what Devin Nounas

508
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: says that they should sue themselves. This must be a joke.

509
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I we we know who colluded with the Russians. They

510
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: don't want to admit that they colluded with Russians. But

511
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: they hired Fusion, they hired a law firm that hired

512
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Fusion GPS, that hired a British spy that went included

513
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: with Russians. So I don't understand why they just didn't

514
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: open up a lawsuit against themselves. They should name themselves

515
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: and sue themselves so that they can get to the

516
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: bottom of what do they have on their servers? Uh?

517
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: Why didn't they give those servers to the FBI? Uh?

518
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: This is this is nothing more, nothing less than a

519
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: continuation of fundraising off of this scandal. This is made

520
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: to play to the far left in this country so

521
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: that the far left will continue to write checks because

522
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: they don't believe that President Trump won the election fair

523
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: and square. Because the media, most of the media in

524
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: this country has continued this narrative that there was collusion,

525
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: there was obstruction, that Trump was somehow involved with Putin,

526
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: and Putin helped to steal this election. We've now looked

527
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: at all this. None of that is true. But the

528
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: Democrats need a way to keep their base motivated to

529
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: turn out in November, and they need a way to

530
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: continue to raise money, and they're raising millions and millions

531
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars to target Republicans over this Russia fiasco.

532
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: But yet there is only the only place where there's

533
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: a Russia fiasco is with them. Is with them the

534
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: year of the boomerang. Who's been telling you about all

535
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: is no evidence of Trump Russia collusion. That's Devin Newness.

536
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: That's a committee spent fourteen months investigating this and interviewing people,

537
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: and it goes on and on, you know, and then

538
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: we find out no official intelligence was used to start

539
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: the FBI probe, none whatsoever. And then the d NC

540
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: comes up with this phony lawsuit. You can't even make

541
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: this stuff up. It's it's so out there it is.

542
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: It is beyond any comprehension I've seen. This is the

543
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: biggest abuse of power scandal by far, in the history

544
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: of the country. It doesn't get any bigger than this.

545
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: And your news media has been missing an act shit.

546
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: Your news media has been unwilling to do the basic

547
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: fundamental job of researching and getting to you simple fundamental truths.

548
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: All they have done has become an extension of all

549
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: things liberal, all things Democratic Party, and all things destroy Trump.

550
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: Hence the destroy Trump media. Alright, Shawn is on a number.

Speaker 1: about it now. I don't want to give it away,

560
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: because I do. These people try and steal your ideas

561
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: because they can't think, they can't think their way through

562
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: a wet paper bag. It's just pathetic. Um. All right,

563

Speaker 1: when we get back all of this new information about

569
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: huge impact on d C and the corrupt political class.

570
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: Will get to that much more in your calls nine one,

571
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: Shawn straight Ahead, Jill McMaster said a while ago, uh

572
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: the Russian misconduct, that we have not imposed sufficient costs

573
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: on Russia for what they tried to do the election.

574
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: That is true. What he didn't say was why we

575
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: know why this government didn't post efficient costs because they

576
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: were conspiring with the government of Russia, and and we

577
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: have to deter this conduct. We can't allow it to

578
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: happen again. George, I want to I'm curious of of

579
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: who you chose to include in the lawsuit and who

580
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: you didn't. You have Donald Trump Jr. Jared Kushner, Paulmana

581
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: for Roger Stone. You don't have Michael Flint. He's somebody

582
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: that that's been charged. I'm curious why is Michael Flinn

583
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: not included. No steep Band and no Kurt Luandowski, no

584
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: Kelly and Conway, three other people who served as sort

585
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: of campaign chairs or managers. But you do have Mana

586
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: for what was the decision making to go who got

587
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: in and who didn't? Well, we brought a case against

588
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: the people that we feel there's sufficient evidence to move

589
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: forward in a civil case. That doesn't preclude us from

590
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: moving to amend the case as we discover more evidence.

591
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: But you don't think that's enough evidence when Michael Flynn huh, well,

592
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: well again, Uh. We want to make sure. I'm a

593
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: big believer in making sure that I have confidence in

594
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: every aspect of my case, and in the Watergate case

595
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: that was brought by Larry O'Brien, former chair of the

596
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: d n C, that complaint was amended over time. I

597
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,959
Speaker 1: am confident that we will file an amended complaint over time.

598
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: Did Hillary Clinton push you to do this? Was this?

599
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: Was this something that she supported? You'll have to ask Secretary.

600
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: You don't know if she's supportive of this move or not.

601
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: I have I have not consulted Hillary Clinton to ask

602
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: her permission to file a complaint. The buck stops with

603
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: Tom peret and I've We've filed this complaint because our

604
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: democracy is at risk. This was an assault on our

605
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: democracy and we have to protect that. I spoke with

606
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: a legal expert on my showing Friday who said he

607
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: believes under federal law that your claims if it does

608
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: come to trial, will we have to be decided by

609
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: a judge, not a journey that you won't get a

610
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: jury trial because of the statute that you're using. Are

611
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: you can this must be a joke. We we know

612
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: who colluded with Russians. They don't want to admit that

613
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: they colluded with Russians. But they hired Fusion, they hired

614
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: a law firm that hired Fusion GPS, that hired a

615
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: British spy that went included with Russians. So I don't

616
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: understand why they just didn't open up a lawsuit against themselves.

617
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: They should name themselves and sue themselves so that they

618
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: can get to the bottom of what do they have

619
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: on their servers? Uh? Why didn't they give those servers

620
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 1: to the FBI? Uh? This is this is nothing more,

621
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: nothing less than a continuation of of fundraising off of

622
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: this scandal. This is made to play to the far

623
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: left in this country, so of the far left will

624
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: continue to write checks because they don't believe that President

625
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: Trump won the election fair and square. Because the media,

626
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: most of the media in this country, has continued this

627
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: narrative that there was collusion, there was obstruction, that Trump

628
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: was somehow involved with Putin, and Putin helped to steal

629
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: this election. We've now looked at all this None of

630
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: that is true. A right. That was Devin Newness on

631
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: with Maria barrat Romo on her weekend program hour to

632
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show right down on toll free telephone number,

633
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Before that,

634
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: the d n c's the head of the d n

635
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: C and the Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez. This

636
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: ridiculous lawsuit which is really designed to raise money. This

637
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: is about basically snookering people and took oh, help us

638
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: fund this big lawsuit that we have with Trump Russia collusion,

639
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: nothing but a distraction in every way, shape, matter of form,

640
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: because they want to keep their own lying narrative alive.

641
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: The most fascinating thing came from Devon Newness this weekend

642
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: as he unloaded on Comy, the FBI and these endless

643
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: investigations into Donald Trump and how no official intelligence was

644
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 1: actually used to start the FBI probe into Trump campaign

645
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: so called Russia collusion. No intelligence, zero intelligence, And then

646
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: it gets to the whole issue of the dossier, which

647
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: we have been talking about. One other side note is

648
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: I think the president is tapped into something that is

649
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: really important, and that is the appointment of the Special Council.

650
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: Began with the illegal leak of intelligence by James Comey,

651
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: who now faces an investigation and referral as it relates

652
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: to eighteen USC. Seven ninety three. And then, of course,

653
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: what is Andrew McCabe gonna do? Is he gonna cut

654
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: a deal anyway? Joining us now is Sarah Carter, investigator

655
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: reporter Fox News contributor David Schone is a civil liberties attorney,

656
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: and welcome both of you to the program. Let me

657
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: start with the legal question. Is Donald Trump right? David

658
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: Shone that the fact that it was an illegal leak

659
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: that started this special counsel, and if in fact there

660
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: was no intelligence behind any of this investigation, is does

661
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: that mean that the appointment of the special council was illegal?

662
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: I think it means a lot of things. Look, there's

663
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: a bit of discretion and appointing a special counsel. I

664
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: think it means a lot of things. Um, if we

665
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: can if one can really show that uh, the have

666
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: an issue, this investigation was illegal, was presented to the court,

667
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: was omitted relevant facts, gave a skewed view of belev fact.

668
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: I think the people who have played guilty have the

669
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: opportunity now and should have the opportunity to reopen things

670
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: and to see whether there was impeachment evidence withheld from them,

671
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: but more importantly whether there was exculpatory evidence withheld from them.

672
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: And yes, the special prosecutor special counsel appointment may well

673
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: have been inappropriate. I don't know the term illegal is

674
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: right here, but the the whoever appointed, Well, if you use,

675
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: if you use intelligence that you're not allowed to league

676
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: to a Columbia professor, I mean that statement is true, right, Yes,

677
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: those kinds of if that's what you're talking about, that

678
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: that appears to be, on the face of it, something illegal,

679
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: um and completely inappropriate. And anyone implicated in the investigation

680
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: is entitled to have that information. And uh, people shouldn't

681
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: be livid about it on these two issues. Sarah Carter,

682
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: I think the idea that there was no intelligence at

683
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: all behind the decision on investigating Trump Russia collusion is

684
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: stunning to me. It is stunning, and I think it's

685
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: even more stunning as if you dig a little deeper.

686
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: And remember, we were the first to break the fact

687
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: that Sidney Bluementhall was involved in this. And these are

688
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton very close confidence and advisors Sidney Bluemenhall over

689
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: at State Department UM, as well as Cody Sheer, a

690
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: former journalist who went on to work with President Bill

691
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: Clinton and was an investigator in a close ally and

692
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: aid of Hillary Clinton. That these two men were directly

693
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: involved with this in formation, the information that was in

694
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: the dossier. They were connected to Christopher Steele. How did

695
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: this information end up in the State Department and those

696
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: people at the State Department that were then spreading that information,

697
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: how did it end up in Brennan's hands. See, these

698
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: are all the questions that the congressional committees want to

699
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: know if they're investigating. So we look at the electronic communication.

700
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: That's the very beginning Shawn of this investigation. He fights

701
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: and fights and fights for this electronic communication, which is

702
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: really not considered classified. Finally, with the threat you know,

703
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: of contempt, they turn over the electronic communication to Devin Nunez,

704
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: to the chair of the House Intelligence Committee. They take

705
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: a look at it and low and behold. They realize,

706
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: oh wait, there's really no intelligence here, no direct intelligence

707
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 1: that that would open this investigation. Something that would be explosive, right,

708
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: something that would either have a picture or have evidence

709
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: from from from people overseas that there was some kind

710
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: of collusion between the president campaign President Trump's campaign in Russia.

711
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: So now they've got to ask these questions. Who were

712
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: they talking to beyond this electronic communication, How was the

713
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: information moved? Who was in charge of pushing that information.

714
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: We also see that Harry Reid, right, who was member,

715
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: being pushed by Brennan at the time to ask the

716
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: FBI to open an investigation. When Brennan came and tried

717
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: to brief the Gang of Eight, the intelligence heads on Congress.

718
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: Um he's now saying, uh, in a book that was

719
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: recently published that he that he felt that he was

720
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: being used by Brennan um to push for this investigation.

721
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: So believe me, believe me, they're going to be looking

722
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: details of this because you know, we've we've hated using this.

723
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: But as it unravels, or as this onion got peeled back,

724
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: more and more evidence became apparent that there was a

725
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: lack of evidence and information that the intelligence community had

726
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: to open this investigation, and it appeared on its as

727
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: to have been politically motivated in order to corner the

728
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: president and eventually lead to Comey actually asking for a

729
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: special counsel to investigate the president with the intention Remember

730
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: what about John Brennan colluding. There was a Spectator article

731
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: out this this weekend. That really great. The headline grabbed

732
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: my attention. Confirmed John Brennan colluded with foreign spies to

733
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: defeat Trump. David, what did you think of that article? Well?

734
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: I didn't. You haven't gotten to read the article, but UM,

735
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: I must tell you that, uh, it's a real concern.

736
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: I just I'm sorry. I wanted to get back to

737
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 1: one point you were making a second ago though, because

738
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: there's another element all of this that's very important. UM.

739
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: Don't expect people like Andrew Wiseman and Robert Mueller, unfortunately,

740
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: UH to take a step back and question the legality

741
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: of the investigation. Because I have to tell you I

742
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: have a case with Andrew Wiseman in which UH the

743
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: source for the surveillance, UM search and seizure orders in

744
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: the case, etcetera, and their applications. The source was an

745
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: unnamed source. However, Mr Weison voused for the credibility of it.

746
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: It turned out that source was a mafia killer with

747
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: a corrupt relationship with an FBI agent. So the idea

748
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: that in this case that facts were omitted and false

749
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: facts were given to a court isn't going to be unfortunately,

750
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: is it going to be a Stock sign to this

751
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: special counsel office. I'm afraid, you know, I think when

752
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: the President, I want to go back to the role

753
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 1: that maybe Brennan and Clapper had in all of this. Sarah,

754
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: and I was asking about the Spectator article about John

755
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: Brennan working with foreign entities. Did you see any evidence

756
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 1: of that. Jim Jordan's saying the Clapper leaked dossier briefing

757
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: the CNN, UH and the leaker Richmond had special FBI access.

758
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that? Well, I think there

759
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: there aren't. What I have been hearing from the very

760
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: beginning of this investigation, and you know, going all the

761
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: way back more than a year. Look, we we know

762
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: for a fact now that they are hony in on

763
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: Clapper that when the President was briefed in January, remember

764
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: at Trump Tower, when he was briefed by Coomy on

765
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: this dossier, that it basically allowed there to be a

766
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: foundation for all of these news agencies, who, by the way,

767
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: were given this dossier by Christopher Steele, who also lied

768
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: to the FBI because he was trying to shop it around.

769
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: He was trying to shop the dossier around that he'd

770
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: gotten the FBI to start the investigation on They didn't

771
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: want to run it because it was so salacious and

772
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: so bizarre that most news agencies were terrified of running it.

773
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: So they needed to have a news hook, they needed

774
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: to have a platform. You have the briefing at Trump Tower.

775
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: Then later shortly after that briefing, which Clapper, by the way,

776
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: according to Comey, directed Komy to brief him in private,

777
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: to brief President Trump president elect Trump in private, and

778
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's leaked to c ann

779
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: Right now, we know that the congressional committees are investigating

780
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: Clapper for that leak, and now what is what is

781
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: Clapper Clapper as an analyst on CNN, a paid analyst.

782
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: We also know that Brennan was closely involved. He was

783
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: always working with Clapper on a variety of these issues.

784
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: And now there's reports that Brennan had traveled to Moscow

785
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: possibly during that time, and had met with people in

786
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: Moscow that they're looking into. This is very concerning because

787
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, what they're trying to accuse President

788
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: Trump of, which in his campaign, which is collusion with

789
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: the Russians, appears to be more and more collusion amongst

790
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: our intelligence community collusion between the Hillary Clinton campaign and

791
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: foreign nationals and foreign ex spies like Christopher Steele and

792
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,479
Speaker 1: Russians as well. So it's kind of flipped on its face.

793
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: What they were trying to accuse the President Trump of

794
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: and his campaign appears to be exactly what they were doing.

795
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: That's why I called this at the beginning of the

796
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: year the Year of the Boomerang. I didn't know how

797
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: right I was. I knew we were right, and it's

798
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: now coming to fruition. And obviously deep state actors that

799
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: now find themselves in the and uh in the heart

800
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: of all of this corruption are absolutely freaking out as

801
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: we can see. You know, you can see panic now

802
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: that is coming out of the deep state. And what's

803
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: your reaction to all of it, David? I mean, obviously

804
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: horrible things were done, the weaponization of these powerful tools

805
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: of intelligence, and everything now is as we were talking

806
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: about before the break, boomeranging back onto Hillary Clinton, her campaign,

807
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: her associates, her, you know, the people that work for her.

808
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to start this answer by not letting you

809
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: get away with understating fact you said before the Break

810
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: that you've been right from the start that this is

811
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: gonna boomerang. That's a gross understatement. Let me tell you something.

812
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: I've said this before and I say it again. Without

813
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: you digging on this issue, raising the issue first now

814
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter's articles one after another, and without you continuing

815
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: to press on this issue, we would be nowhere in

816
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: uncovering the truth of this matter today, and we're far

817
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: down the road now because of it. Congress is picked

818
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: up on message that you've sent through fact, fact that

819
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: you've dug up and reported on. It is vitally important

820
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: to any civil libertarian, UH to have all of this

821
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: stuff exposed. It's a very dangerous situation. I want to

822
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: say this. You're raised at the beginning of the show.

823
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: This d n C lawsuit that's been filed. Um, it

824
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: looks on the face of it like a frivolous case.

825
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: They call it innovative. It clearly, as you said, is

826
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: a fundraising technique, as an article on Bloomberg Today, which

827
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: before it was out off the press, a fundraising letter

828
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: went out. But UM, I'm gonna say that I think

829
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: it may be a foolish move. Also, by way of

830
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: full disclosure, by the way, I have represented the National

831
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: Democratic Party before when they were sued in the case,

832
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: and one that case at trial, I was proud to

833
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: represent them completely unrelated case. This is a sad day

834
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: for the Democratic National Committee, I have to say, But

835
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 1: I think it's the foolish case, mainly for this reason.

836
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: I think it's going to open up all kinds of

837
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: opportunities for whoever is defending this case on behalf of

838
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: whichever defendant to depose. Now fill in the blanks, McCabe, comey,

839
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, all of the d n C folks, etcetera.

840
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: You know, it's a little bit like you said after

841
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: the o j K after the o j KS. O

842
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: j said is dedicated to finding the true killer, and

843
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: people joke is going to fill his house up with

844
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: mirrors after that. Um, there's something to that in this case.

845
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: I think they're really opening a can of warm. If

846
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: this guest passed emotion to dismiss, there's got to be

847
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: full discovery of every d n C figure and all

848
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: of these folks in the intelligence community, et cetera. What

849
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: did they know, when did they know it, What did

850
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: they leak, when did they leak it? And to whom?

851
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 1: All right, I guess we're out of time, Sarah, Sorry,

852
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: but I think we're seeing both of you tonight on Hannity.

853
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: So thank you both for being with us. We appreciate it.

854
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: One Shawn Tolfree telephone number Jeff Lord at the top

855
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: of the next hour. Peter Schweitzer, best selling author of

856
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: Clinton Cash. His brand new book is making waves. Yeah,

857
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: and the New York Times bestseller list. Yet again, that's

858
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: straight ahead. He's gone heavy person at me in ways

859
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: that I thought, Um, we're unprofessional. That's fine, that's his

860
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: decision to do that. I didn't when you say person,

861
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: when he points out that your wife donated to Tamane,

862
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: is that that you consider that person again? Again, Yes,

863
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: I do, because he's bringing my wife into this. What

864
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: is her business? What is it his business? What she does?

865
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: I don't control for political opinions, and she doesn't control mine.

866
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I just really just think about that's he's no, no, no, no,

867
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to selling me because my wife is an

868
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: individual thinker in her life. I'm trying to nail down

869
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: what was the personal attack and if that is not

870
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: this go look at his Twitter feed over the last

871
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: five years and you'll see how many times he's come out,

872
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: how many times he's gone in his program to come

873
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: after me. That's something. The first time I think I

874
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: mentioned his name on air was when I was shocked

875
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: at Fox didn't have anything tunitive for him to do.

876
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: That's the only time I think I've even said his

877
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 1: name other than mentioning something that was said on the show.

878
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: So my point is is that if you look at

879
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: how Sean Hannity has treated me over the last three

880
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: or four years publicly, then you will see, um why

881
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: I just don't sort of take his criticism that seriously.

882
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is because that's enough of that.

883
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: That was Chuck Todd on the Bernie and Sid Show

884
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 1: in New York, and you know, he's all he gets

885
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,959
Speaker 1: the lecture me on ethics. And then when I point

886
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: out that him and by the way, this goes through

887
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: everybody in the media, and we're gonna have new standards,

888
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: a new norm if you will, in terms of disclosures,

889
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: and they want to attack me, then I say, the

890
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: same standards will apply to everybody else. And it really

891
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: seemed to get under and I, by the way, I

892
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: don't have anything against Chuck Todd, but he's not an

893
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: objective newsperson and that's what I point out, that's what

894
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: drives him crazy. It's not personal, it's just the fact

895
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: he's a liberal. He's a liberal activist. Even if you

896
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: ever watch a show, I mean, it's all things destroy Trump,

897
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,240
Speaker 1: destroy Trump, destroyed Trump. He's been wrong for an entire

898
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: year plus, like everybody else over there on Conspiracy Theory TV,

899
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: and I dare to point it out. And the things

900
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: that we have been talking about have been proven right

901
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: again and again and again, and we will more right

902
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: and are more right than we even knew we were right.

903
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: If any of that makes sense. So I'm just saying

904
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: that it it. The standard needs to go across the

905
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: board for everybody. And if that means everybody's investments, now

906
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna be up for review, all their loans are

907
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna be up for review, all their business dealings are

908
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 1: gonna be up for review. And and it's it'll apply

909
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: to all of them because I can have a team

910
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: start investigating them one by one, day by day as

911
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: they are trying to make a big deal over you know,

912
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:35,959
Speaker 1: think over basic, simple, fundamental things that I have done

913
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: over the years, and full disclosure, especially with my buddy

914
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: Bill Laco nine for one shown what really seemed to

915
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: get under Chuck todd skin was the fact that Jeffrey

916
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: Lord wrote the peace that exposed political connections in his

917
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: family that he didn't reveal. I think you really got

918
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: to him. I was listening to Bernie in sin and

919
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, wow, yeah for you there, Yes, yes,

920
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: I have I just was you were spot on. And

921
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: the name of the standard of the new standard, by

922
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: the way, I think John Notley from Breitbart has got it.

923
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: We're going to call it the Sean Hannity standard standard,

924
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: and everybody is going to have to come up to that. Listen,

925
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: I find you will have a Supreme Court case Hannity

926
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: uh US Government v. Hannity. How's that? I like it?

927
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: I like it. Listen. I listened to the entire interview

928
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: he gave to Bernie and said, and let me just

929
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: throw out a couple of quotes here. Quote any time

930
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: I've interviewed somebody that my wife has professionally worked for,

931
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 1: I let people know unquote. And he also said he

932
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: was talking to you that quote. I'm surprised Fox isn't

933
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: making him, meaning you, at a minimum, disclose a conflict.

934
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: Every time he talks about this unquote, and then when

935
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: he was challenged a bit, he said, that person meaning

936
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: me who wrote that did no research, referring to the

937
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: article I wrote on your By the way, that is

938
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: the last thing you could ever say about Jeffrey Lord.

939
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: You do exhaustive research. And to the point here for

940
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: Chuck if he's listening. On February twelve, you had a

941
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: Meet the Press show. I watched it. I've read the

942
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: transcriptions thoughtfully surprised and supplied by NBC News. You had

943
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: a segment with Bernie Sanders, who was a client of

944
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 1: your wife's firm. And you had a segment with former

945
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: Virginia Senator Jim Weette, whom your wife served as a

946
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: communications director in his two thousand six centate race and

947
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: was advising him for a bit in his presidential race.

948
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: And I assure you, uh, and I'm going to have

949
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: this in a follow up column with some excerpts. He

950
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: never once, never, ever, once asked or told anybody that

951
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: his wife worked professionally or her firm had had worked

952
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: with Bernie Sanders, or that she had worked professionally preaching

953
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: with not once. And you know, at a at a

954
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 1: certain point, I'm not accusing you of anything drastic here.

955
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: But let's just say when he said that is not

956
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: an attack against his family, that is the same standard

957
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: he was holding me to that he was that he

958
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: wasn't applying to himself. I mean, that's just the point

959
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: that is absolutely totally correct. By the way, now I'm

960
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: exposing everything. By the way, Jeffrey Lord puts articles up

961
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com. Jeffrey Lord and I have been

962
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 1: to dinner together. Jeffrey Lord and I have socialized together

963
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: once when or a couple of times. When I was

964
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: watching jeff against nine other Democrats on CNN, I was

965
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: texting him, you know, jokes and and uh points that

966
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: I wanted him to use. Full disclosure. Absolutely. You know,

967
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: we actually have another another point that Lauren just so

968
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: kindly reminded me of. Jeffrey was at our our Christmas

969
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: party and he and he and he brought cheese. Did

970
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: you bring cheese to the Christmas party? Just cheese? You

971
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: did not know? Oh no, there we go. Life is ruined.

972
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: Now you did not bring cheese to my Christmas party?

973
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: Did you? I have to confess? Yes, Dan Bongino was there. Uh,

974
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: let's see, Diamond and Silk were there. By the way,

975
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: but I begged to differ. The sign when you walked

976
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: in said it was Linda's party, It didn't say it

977
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: was my party. And full disclosure, I work for Sean Hannity.

978
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: So news now, yeah, breaking news. You know, Um, I understand.

979
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: I think this is what it's all rooted in my

980
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: personal opinion. And there's a serious side to this. We've

981
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 1: been right for over a year. The rest of the

982
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: media has been wrong. The case we you know, and

983
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: and it includes you, and it includes Sarah, and it

984
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: includes Greg Jared, and it includes John Solomon and Tim

985
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: Fitton and and Sebastian Gorka and and and so many

986
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,720
Speaker 1: of us like I'm gonna miss names. But the fact

987
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: is that we have exposed, you know, everybody contributing the

988
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: biggest abuse of power scandal, which exposed a deep state

989
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: that wanted, at a minimum to delegitimize a duly elected president. Uh,

990
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: if they had their real way heat, they'd get them

991
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: out of office. And there is a deep resentment that

992
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: we have stood tall and independent and have improven right

993
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: and they've been wrong. That is absolutely right. Make no mistake,

994
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: this is Sean. If if you had supported some other

995
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: candidate for president, they wouldn't be coming after you. You

996
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: supported Donald Trump, you were right, And you've had the

997
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: audacity to have all these people on your show who

998
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: have been digging and digging and digging in serious fashion

999
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: into this business and uncovered the truth. And they don't

1000
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 1: like it. And the chickens are coming home to roost.

1001
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 1: I mean, Chuck Todd is not really the problem. Chuck

1002
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: Todd is a symbol of the problem. I mean the

1003
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: Washington I don't even I don't even dislike Chuck Todd. Honestly,

1004
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: I have no feelings about Chuck Todd. And but but

1005
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: if he's gonna apply standards and he's got to live

1006
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: up to his standards, that's the point, is exactly. And

1007
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: none of these people do either. You know, there's all

1008
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 1: these relationships we know between the media in d C

1009
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: and these congressional offices, and you you brought this to

1010
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: my attention. There was a story in the Daily Caller

1011
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: last year he and his wife had hosted a dinner

1012
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: at their home for Jennifer Palmiery and her husband, She

1013
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: the Clinton communications director. I think I know the answer,

1014
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: But the next time you see Corey Lewindowski asked if

1015
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: he's ever he and his wife have ever been entertained

1016
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: at um Chuck Don's house for dinner. I suspect I

1017
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: note the answer. Yeah. I think by the way, I've

1018
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: never been invited to those parties. I'd never hidden the

1019
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: fact that I support President Trump. And this is the

1020
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: big difference between they. Actually they really believe on these

1021
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: news channels, in particular, in the New York Times and

1022
00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: the Washington Post in particular, they really be eve that

1023
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: they were objective, you know. And the fact is, it

1024
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: is it is NonStop Russia, Russia, Trump collusion, stormy, stormy, stormy,

1025
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: it is it's never ending. They don't do news anymore.

1026
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: They don't want to do news anymore. They are agenda driven,

1027
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: and it seems to all be the same agenda. And

1028
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,959
Speaker 1: uh and and one of the things that we pride

1029
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: ourselves on is we're unique. We stand. We vetted Obama.

1030
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: Nobody vetted Obama. Jeff, there was a few of us.

1031
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: You were one of them. Uh. We talked about Obama's

1032
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: failed record. They never talked about eight years of failure. Uh.

1033
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: We understood what the election was about forgotten men and women. Uh,

1034
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: we were right on that. And we have been right

1035
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: for over a year that there are deep state actors

1036
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: that were involved in nefarious activities. So now I guess

1037
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,919
Speaker 1: the payback is, well, attack the messenger. But the real

1038
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: target isn't Sean Hannity or Jeff Lord. The real what

1039
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: they really want to do is they want this president

1040
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: out of office period. That's it. That's it, that's it exactly.

1041
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: And you can hell, I mean this upcoming White House

1042
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: Correspondence Center, which the President will not be tending again,

1043
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: He'll be it a round. Maybe I should go No,

1044
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't think so, dude. Well, yeah, the thing is

1045
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 1: they're going to be talking about standing up for the

1046
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: free press in the first Amendment. How many of them

1047
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,439
Speaker 1: do you think are gonna mention your name or Laura

1048
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: Ingram's name, or for that matter. They'll mention it in vain.

1049
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll mention it in a joke, but they're

1050
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: not going to mention it in any complimentary way or

1051
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: stand up to happen in a in a serious context.

1052
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: They they do not want alternative use. Look, you know

1053
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: what this show is. Everyone keeps asking, well, what do

1054
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: I do? What am I? Are you a journalist? You

1055
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: say you're not a journalist. We'll not a journalist in

1056
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: the traditional sense. I'm not an opinion journalist. I'm an

1057
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: opinion journalist, advocacy journalist. And I'm a talk show host.

1058
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: And let me tell you what a talk show host is.

1059
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes we do straight new sometimes we do straight interviews.

1060
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes we give opinion, sometimes we have fun. Sometimes we

1061
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: talk sports. Were like a newspaper news opinion at a storial. Uh,

1062
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: we don't do cartoons, sports, lifestyle. We talk about everything

1063
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: that is all encompassing. But part of the job is

1064
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: at times to do straight interviews. The difference is Sean,

1065
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: if that you're upfront about it all. I'm up front

1066
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: about what I do. These folks try to get people

1067
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: to believe that they're objective, and they are not. If

1068
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: they had just come out and said, Yep, we're liberals

1069
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: over here and that's what we do. You and I

1070
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't be talking about this this minute. But that's that's

1071
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: not what goes on here. This is why Fox News,

1072
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: this is why I Talk radio. They had to exist.

1073
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: They were just begging to be created because this has

1074
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: been going on for decades. You know, mean Mr History

1075
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: buff good Lord. I went back and Rid Barry Goldwater's

1076
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: Memoirs in he was talking about not wanting to give

1077
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: an interview to CBS News because of quote unquote liberal bias.

1078
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: This has been around for a long time, but it's

1079
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: never been this bad. They don't like you, all right,

1080
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: As we continue with Joe floored one, Shauna is our

1081
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: toll free number. Why do you think it's gotten this bad?

1082
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: Because I think interestingly that Fox News and Talks Radio

1083
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: out of them as it were, and they resisted. They've

1084
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: lost their monopoly. That and the Internet. They've lost their monopoly.

1085
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: It's never going to be the same again. Where you've

1086
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: got three liberal networks and the Washington Post in the

1087
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: New York Times setting the agenda for everybody else. It

1088
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: isn't gonna happen anymore. And they don't like it, and

1089
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: they're mad about it, and so specifically they're mad at

1090
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: the people who are part of that, and you are

1091
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: most indubitably a star of that, and they can't stand

1092
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: you for it. Do you think they really wished with Trump?

1093
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: You know, they're just going crazy. Do you believe they

1094
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: really want people like me, Rush Mark and others off

1095
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: the air? Yes? I do, you bet? I do. I

1096
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: mean That's what media matters is all about. That's what

1097
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: these attempts to you know, they run your advertiser. I mean,

1098
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: this is what this is all about, is silencing people.

1099
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: You know. I happened to be the first time I

1100
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: was ever on CNN was back in two thousand nine

1101
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: by sheer accident had written some first amend and column

1102
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: supporting lou Dobbs. He invited me to the show and

1103
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: it turned out he quit that night from CNN, and

1104
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: they for it the drop dob Drop Dobbs campaign. He

1105
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: quit right then and there. I was astonished, but he

1106
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: was the first, and then there I have been others

1107
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the whole effort to get I never knew that history. Well,

1108
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: did you get to go on the did he quit?

1109
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: Did he quit on the show or did he quit

1110
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: before he went on the show? He quit on the show.

1111
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: He came you were on the set in the green room,

1112
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: then went in began a show and said, I'll be

1113
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: doing the news, but first I want to announce this

1114
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: will be my last night on CNN thirty years of

1115
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: this and he quits right then and there, live on

1116
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: the air, he finished. I like Loue more, I forget

1117
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: this story I went in. I went in for my

1118
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: segment and I said, Lou, I don't know what to say.

1119
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: He says, oh, we'll think of something. And in the

1120
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: course of it, he said to me, do I think

1121
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: this is still America anymore? Do I think that we

1122
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: still have a First Amendment? And I said, I'd like

1123
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: to think so. You know, it's a little scary. I

1124
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: have to say, well, I think it's now. I think

1125
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: what you're also looking at is the very well oiled,

1126
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: well funded, uh anti conservative machine that is out there.

1127
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: And don't think that, you know, those liberal groups aren't

1128
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: funded by hard leftists that don't believe in freedom of speech,

1129
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: and that they do. You know, they hire groups like Fusion, GPS, etcetera.

1130
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: This will be my last broadcast here on CNN, where

1131
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: I worked for morals thirty years, and where I have

1132
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: many friends and colleagues whom I admire deeply and respect greatly.

1133
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm the last of the original ankors here on CNN,

1134
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: and I'm proud to have had the privilege of helping

1135
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: to build the world's first news network. I'm grateful for

1136
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: the many opportunities that CNN has given me over these

1137
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: many years. Wow, you are right. Listen, Jeff, I wish

1138
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: we had more time. Thank you, sir, and we'll have

1139
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,919
Speaker 1: you back soon. Eight one, Shawn told free telephone number,

1140
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: your calls and much more. Final hour, free for all,

1141
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: straight ahead. It was described to me when it came in.

1142
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: It was raw intelligence, So a series of reports from

1143
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: a credible with a reliable track record and a known,

1144
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: experienced and source network in Russia, and so it was

1145
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: something to be taken seriously. Didn't mean that it was

1146
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: all true, but it was to be taken seriously. This

1147
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: is gonna get interesting, especially now that, in fact, the

1148
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: President raises a really important and pivotal legal question. Now

1149
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: that we know the whole investigation was based on illegal leaking,

1150
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: and as Devin Noon has said, no raw intelligence, no

1151
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: intelligence at all. Now the question is was the entire

1152
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: endeavor illegal? I mean, that's pretty profound, and you can

1153
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: see the coming collision between McCabe and Comey with two

1154
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: very distinct definitions if you will, of what happened or

1155
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: recollections of what happened in all of this. Anyway, Peter

1156
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Schweitzer is with us. Peter a good friend of the program.

1157
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: You may remember he started the whole uranium one deal

1158
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: by writing the book, the bestseller Clinton Cash. Now he

1159
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: has his new book out. It's called Secret Empires, How

1160
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: the Americ political class hides corruption and riches family and friends,

1161
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: and also now again another New York Times bestseller. Congratulations, Thanks,

1162
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Sean's great to be on with you. Now let's start

1163
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: with was something that you put out in your book,

1164
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: and you talk about McCabe lied to deny the FBI

1165
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: stonewalling of Clinton Cash, So that was directly affected by this. Correct,

1166
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. Um, go back to October of seawan.

1167
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: There were a series of articles in the Wall Street Journal. Um,

1168
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: you remember the first one broke the story about Andrew

1169
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: McCabe's wife, who was running for the state Senate, had

1170
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: received money from a pack controlled by a very close

1171
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Clinton associate, Terry mcaulliffe, the governor of Virginia. That was

1172
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: broken by these two reporters from the Wall Street Journal.

1173
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: At that point, Andrew McCabe went into damage control because

1174
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: these reporters then we're getting tips that there was an

1175
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: active Clinton Foundation investigation, and they subsequently reported that that

1176
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:08,479
Speaker 1: was initially based on Clinton Cash. But it has gone

1177
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: well beyond that, Um, and At this point, Andrew McCabe

1178
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: was talking to the Wall Street Journal and trying to

1179
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: create the impression that the investigation had the full support

1180
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: of the FBI leadership, that there was no obstruction taking

1181
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: place or anything. Um, we now know that he was

1182
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: leaking that and then lied to uh, the Inspector General's

1183
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: office and others about it. But the purpose of the leak,

1184
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: and you find this all the time with McCabe and

1185
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: also with Comie, they wrapped, They justify uh, the you know,

1186
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: leaking in the line because there's somehow maintaining the integrity

1187
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: of the FBI. It's not. It's about maintaining their own

1188
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: political viability. And the reason that Andrew McCabe in this

1189
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: particular case slide was he was trying to avoid the

1190
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: heat and the criticism from the obvious massive conflict of

1191
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: interest of his wife receiving more than half of her

1192
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: campaign donations from a close Clinton associate while they were

1193
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be investigating the Clinton Foundation, and as the

1194
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: agents reported to the Journal and elsewhere, they were being

1195
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: stone walled by FBI headquarters on the Clinton Foundation investigation.

1196
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: But I want to go a little deeper into all

1197
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: of this because what you're really saying here is that

1198
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, all of these legal woes awaiting Andrew McCabe

1199
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: began when he as the former FBI director lied by

1200
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: characterizing the bureau's investigation of Hillary Clinton has executed in

1201
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: in in good faith. Now we know felonies were committed.

1202
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: We know that that what she did was a violation

1203
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: of eighteen Usc. Seven nine three mishandling and destruction of

1204
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: classified information. But beyond that, when they were subpoena, she

1205
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: deleted acid wash, bleach bid and beat up devices. Now

1206
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 1: what was McCabe's role in this and what were other

1207
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: investigator's role in this? Yeah, I mean the role in

1208
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: us was was essentially doing the bidding for Hillary Clinson

1209
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: um and and that's the problem there there. You know,

1210
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: they can have whatever political views they want, but their

1211
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 1: role as a law enforcement officers to be looking out

1212
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: for the country and protecting the laws. And when you

1213
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: look through how the investigation was handled, and Sean, you've

1214
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 1: highlighted this, uh for for audiences numerous times. The fact

1215
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: that she was not you know, put under oath, the

1216
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 1: fact that it was a very casual interview, the fact

1217
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: that they had prepared documents in advance exonerating her from

1218
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: from these uh, you know, crimes that she uh you know,

1219
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 1: I think committed in these cases. This is all evidence

1220
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: that they weren't really serious and committed to this investigation

1221
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: and taking it where it needed to go. And again,

1222
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,560
Speaker 1: when you look at James Comy, um, you know, his

1223
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: entire explanation Sean for his famous press conference in July.

1224
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 1: You remember when he came out and said, you know,

1225
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: she was not uh, she did not commit a crime.

1226
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 1: His entire irrationale, again, he argues, is to protect the

1227
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: viability of the Department of Justice and FBI, because, as

1228
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: he writes in his memoir, you know, the Attorney General,

1229
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: Lauretta Lynch had had the meeting with Bill Clinton on

1230
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: the tarmac, and he didn't want that to become something

1231
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: that interfered with people's perceptions that the investigation was handled

1232
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: in in a deep way. That's not why he did it.

1233
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: He did it to protect Lauretta Lynch. Loretta Lynch had

1234
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: that meeting. She should have been the one to go

1235
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: out in the press conference and answer questions from the

1236
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: press about the investigation and the fact that she had

1237
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: that meeting. But Comy served the role of essentially protecting her.

1238
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: And that's what you see with the actions of Macabe

1239
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: and Comy again and again and again, and that is

1240
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: not what law enforcement officials are supposed to be doing. Well,

1241
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 1: it goes when he did this infamous press conference. Let's

1242
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: go back the exoneration letter. You know, Trump painting Peter

1243
01:09:56,360 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: Struck and Trump painting James Comey. Frankly, they were writing

1244
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: the exoneration in May of twenty sixteen. They didn't interview Hillary,

1245
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: as you point out under oath, until July, the July

1246
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: four weekend, and then exonerated her on that July fifth day,

1247
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: just a couple of days after. And they didn't interview

1248
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: seventeen other people until that point. You don't write an

1249
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: exoneration before an investigation. And Comey's remarks on it were

1250
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: incredibly weak, and more importantly, he seemed to be influenced

1251
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: by taking away very key language that would have met

1252
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 1: the legal threshold of crime she committed number one, and

1253
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: also that foreign entities had tapped into that server that

1254
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: she had unsecure on a mom and pop shop bathroom closet.

1255
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: That's that's exactly right. And Sean, if you look at

1256
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: that press conference and go through it again. I would

1257
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: encourage people to compare that to any other press conference

1258
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: that how the FBI has ever had related to a

1259
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: criminal matter, and you're never going to find it. That's

1260
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: how extraordinary that meeting was. And it was the last

1261
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: link in this long chain of of making special uh

1262
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, um things for the for for Hillary Clinton,

1263
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: where where she didn't have to put up with, um,

1264
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, tough questioning that other people in a similar

1265
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: situation would have to. Uh. She didn't have to deal

1266
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: with a lot of the indignities that go with, you know,

1267
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: having to be questioned by the FBI that a lot

1268
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: of other people are faced. And you've never had an

1269
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 1: FBI director like him, like Comey to stand up at

1270
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,839
Speaker 1: the end of July and give this sort of past

1271
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: legal explanation as to why he says there was not

1272
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: a criminal violation when there clearly was. And the reason

1273
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: that that press conference took place it was for political reasons.

1274
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: It was to protect the Attorney General, the role of

1275
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: the FBI. There should be the ships fall where they may.

1276
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: Here's what we found here is where we believe there

1277
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: were violations of law or not violations of the law.

1278
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 1: Now the Attorney General or the U S Attorney stands

1279
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: up and explains it. It's not the role of the

1280
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: FBI director to do that. And he put himself in

1281
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: that situation because he decided that he But what about

1282
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,560
Speaker 1: tech Laretta Lynch? What about the information he gave to

1283
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: Stephanopolis about Loretta Lynch, information that is not known to

1284
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: this day as to why he stepped in. Yes, that

1285
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. And all we can infer here is

1286
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,560
Speaker 1: what he has written and what has been stated, and

1287
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,719
Speaker 1: that is you know, his belief that that that meeting

1288
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: with Bill Clinton created concerns about the integrity of the investigation. Well,

1289
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,679
Speaker 1: you know, no doubt of course it did. The question

1290
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: is now, as an FBI director, do you basically cover

1291
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: the rear end of the attorney general or do you say, look,

1292
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 1: you need an answer to this and explain this to

1293
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 1: the public. And we still have never gotten an explanation

1294
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: from a little Loretta Lynch about those meetings in any

1295
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: manner where um she had answered questions to it. And

1296
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: that I want to know what James Comy is withholding

1297
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 1: that would force a b I directed to a surp

1298
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 1: the power of a sitting attorney general beyond which we

1299
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: already knew what the meeting on the tarmac, because it

1300
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: sounds ominous for an FBI director to step in but

1301
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 1: nobody knows what it is yet it sounds like it

1302
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 1: is going to come out. I think that's right, Sean.

1303
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: And for for an FBI director who has has talked

1304
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: in great detail about all kinds of meetings that he had,

1305
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, the contacts that he had with President Trump,

1306
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: and yet he's holding this back, it makes you wonder

1307
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 1: either a that it's very ominous or B. And I

1308
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: just laid as possibility out there, Sean, that that that

1309
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 1: maybe there is a matter that the Department of Justice

1310
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: is still looking into as it relates to that. I'm

1311
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,679
Speaker 1: just speculating, but it's clear to me that somebody who's

1312
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: been very happy to chat about all kinds of other

1313
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: interactions and issues does not want to go there on

1314
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: this subject. Yeah, unbelievable. All right, So when does this

1315
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: all end? Because there's so many differing scandals that we

1316
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,879
Speaker 1: have in place here. I mean, you've got a masking,

1317
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: you've got the dossier issue, then you've got the lying

1318
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: to the judge and withholding information issue. Well, I think

1319
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: we're has to end, Sean. And look, I'm somebody who's

1320
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: been critical of independence and council in the past because

1321
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: you get this sort of runaway train effect that I

1322
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: think we're seeing right now with Bob Mueller. But I'm

1323
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: not sure you can't address these cluster of issues in

1324
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: any other way. And here's why, Sean. When you look

1325
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: at the unmasking, when you look at the Clinton Foundation,

1326
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 1: when you look at the Clinton email, when you look

1327
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: at the internal stuff the FBI, in so many cases, Sean,

1328
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 1: you have overlapped involving the same people you have concurrent events.

1329
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,799
Speaker 1: I don't think you can just separate them as individual

1330
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: slices of bread and say we're gonna look at each slice.

1331
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: I think you have to look at the whole loaf.

1332
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: So I've come to the conclusion that there needs to

1333
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: be an independent council. And in this particular case, it's

1334
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: really about the integrity of our judicial system, or specifically

1335
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 1: the FBI in our criminal investigation. There's a lot of

1336
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: concerns about these, people have doubts about it. An independent

1337
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 1: council could lead to a lot of clarity, it could

1338
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 1: lead to justice, and it could also give some people

1339
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: peace of mind that these matters being intended to, because

1340
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: otherwise we have no confidence down the road that we're

1341
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 1: not going to see these kinds of matters politicized as

1342
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 1: they were in the Hillary Clinton case, and as I

1343
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 1: think you can see that they are in the Mother case.

1344
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: I gotta take a break more with Peter Schweitzer and

1345
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 1: his best selling new book. If you haven't gotten a

1346
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: hold of it, you need to read this. There is

1347
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,879
Speaker 1: a lot of information in there. It's called Secret Empires.

1348
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: How the American political class hides corruption and enriches family

1349
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: and friends. As the continued, Peter Schweitzer is with us

1350
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 1: his new bestselling books, Secret Secret Empires, How the American

1351
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: political class hides corruption enriches family and friends. You know,

1352
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: one of the things that amazes me is that all

1353
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 1: of this is about connections. You know. Uh, you know.

1354
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: For example, you know a lot of people have been

1355
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: doing this deep dive into my personal finances. Yeah, okay,

1356
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: we got a loan and we did an investment and

1357
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: it was in the Obama years, Uh, you know, which

1358
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 1: is pretty funny to me. But you know, all of

1359
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: this is transparent. The reason people could look deeply and

1360
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: find it is because it's all out. There is nothing

1361
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 1: that's not public. And uh, I didn't ask that watch

1362
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,679
Speaker 1: my hard drive and I didn't I didn't delete emails,

1363
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: nor did I do any of those things. But you're

1364
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 1: describing real connections and not millions but billions of dollars

1365
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: based on political connections. Well, that's right, Sean. I mean

1366
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,440
Speaker 1: one of the things you find in in secret empires

1367
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: is that a lot of politicians and both sides of

1368
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: the aisle, they're not as straightforward as you about these deals. Um.

1369
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 1: You know, deals are done in the names of adult

1370
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 1: children or spouses or best friends. And the other distinction

1371
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: that I think I I draw all the time as

1372
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: it relates to uh, you know, the private business sector

1373
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: and government, is there is a difference between a invest

1374
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: to a private businessman Donald Trump before he was President

1375
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: of the United States, and people that are in public

1376
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: office because as a private businessman, we can question whether,

1377
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, a businessman makes the right ethical decision, but

1378
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 1: if he's not breaking the law, um, it shouldn't really

1379
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: I think be much of a concern to us. We

1380
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: can talk about the ethics of it. The difference with

1381
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: government is people in government positions of power Vice President

1382
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, for example, or you're a senator or a congressman. Uh,

1383
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: you have the ability to hurt or help people in

1384
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: a major way. You've got government power on your side.

1385
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,759
Speaker 1: You say that one of the worst too, were Biden

1386
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 1: and carry in their families that, well, that's exactly right.

1387
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: And and in this particular case, a lot of indirect

1388
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: actions take place that that are deceptive. And you know,

1389
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:54,759
Speaker 1: just briefly, Joe Biden December as Vice president, flies to Beijing,

1390
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 1: China for meeting with Chinese officials, and his son, Hunter

1391
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:00,680
Speaker 1: Biden is on the plane with him. They go there,

1392
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has meetings on on very sensitive issues. He

1393
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: gets criticized chan for being soft on the Chinese. They

1394
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: returned to Washington on Air Force two and ten days later.

1395
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: What happens, Hunter Biden, his son gets a billion dollar

1396
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: that's where to be billion dollar private equity deal from

1397
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: the Chinese government. Joe Biden's name is not anywhere on it.

1398
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: But the problem is Hunter Biden has no background in

1399
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 1: private equity, is no background in China. And it was

1400
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 1: ten days It was ten days after he was on

1401
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: air Force too with his father in China, that's exactly right.

1402
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 1: And and and this is this is the problem. This

1403
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: is where corruption is going, the old corruption of you

1404
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: remember Congressman Jefferson who had the ninety dollars cash and

1405
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 1: his freezer. They call him cold hearted cash Jefferson. That's

1406
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: old school corruption. And now it's indirect. You get kid,

1407
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: I Gotta roll. The book is a bestseller, Secret Empires,

1408
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,839
Speaker 1: How the American political class Hides corruption and in Riches's

1409
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,479

Speaker 1: be a part of this extravagance. And we got an

1417
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 1: amazing Hannity tonight at nine. Just wanted to give you

1418
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: a heads up on that. Uh let's say hi to

1419
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 1: Kevin is an acting he's out in California. Kevin, Hi,

1420
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Sir? I am blessed Sean.

1421
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 1: So let me begin by saying, let not your heart

1422
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: be troubled. My heart is not troubled. I don't get troubled.

1423
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: You know. I don't say that for no reason, because

1424
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: even if you know, the Bible says, even the faith

1425
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: of a mustard seed, you know, you can move a mountain. Now,

1426
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I have that kind of faith, but

1427
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I do think worry is the antithesis of faith. I

1428
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: do get that, and that's what it means, not letting

1429
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: not your heart be trouble. I'll tell you what. The

1430
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,600
Speaker 1: Bible also says that one of the fruits for this

1431
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: patients so hanging there and one thing the enemy doesn't happen.

1432
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: That one of those it to the spirit of self control.

1433
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: The enemy will overload, eventually, overplay his hand and everybody

1434
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 1: will see it. But Sean, I wanted to tell you. Frequently,

1435
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 1: I'll go into a restaurant, coffee shop, stuff, but I'll

1436
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 1: see a military guy, but especially a police officer. You know,

1437
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: all walked up to that police officer, I'll buy his meal,

1438
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 1: I'll shake his hand, I'll congratulating and tell him the hero.

1439
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: Then I'll tell him he's crazy. Sean, I'm going to

1440
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: apply this to you. In a second, tongue in cheek,

1441
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 1: I said, you gotta be an idiot. You know, the

1442
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Ferguson effect that you know, you know, don't shoot me.

1443
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,520
Speaker 1: You know, these guys are out there as police officers,

1444
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: there being that. You know, they're they're just being that

1445
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 1: hero in the face of all of that opposition. Well, Sean,

1446
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: I'll say that to a school teacher, school teacher, professor.

1447
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 1: They've got a conservative, you know, viewpoint. They're trying to

1448
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 1: bring that up in the classroom. I'll shake their hands.

1449
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell him thank you for being there. I hope

1450
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: my kids in your class and your idiot, Well, Sean,

1451
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 1: the positions you're taking, the voice you're speaking, the hero

1452
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: that's within you is awesome. But I gotta tell you, Sean,

1453
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: you're an idiot, because look what's gonna happen. Sean, I

1454
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: say that tongue in cheek. Of course, look what's happening.

1455
01:20:58,160 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Let me let me tell you what my take is

1456
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: on all of this. And you know, I'm really a

1457
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,640
Speaker 1: piece with it because I think I'm I'm hearing the

1458
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:07,680
Speaker 1: nature and the sentiment behind your call here. But I

1459
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 1: will say this but for Sarah Carter, but for Greg Jarrett,

1460
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 1: but for uh Tom Fitton, but for Sebastian Gorka, John Solomon,

1461
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: David Shown and a few others. Jay Secular has been

1462
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: amazing and there there is no doubt that what has

1463
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: happened in terms of what we have now exposed, it

1464
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been exposed. And there while the media was

1465
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,719
Speaker 1: chasing a rabbit around the track uh Trump Russia collusion,

1466
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: we were actually doing the real work. And what we've

1467
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 1: discovered is that there was surveillance, unmasking, illegal leaking of intelligence.

1468
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 1: What we found is that at the highest levels, not

1469
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: rank and file, FBI, d O J, that nefarious activities

1470
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: were taking place, uh I E. Andrew McCabe. What we

1471
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 1: found as Hillary violated specific laws and we identified all

1472
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: of them. We found sound that specific people were involved

1473
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 1: in exonerating her without investigating her. We found a deep

1474
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: hatred among deep state actors and it's only just the

1475
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: beginning towards this president, and they did everything they could

1476
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: do to assist her in winning. Then it took a year,

1477
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 1: but we finally found out she paid for the dossier

1478
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 1: through her campaign and and money through the d N

1479
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: c of which she was controlling. And then we found

1480
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: out that that dossier was never verified or corroborated and

1481
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,679
Speaker 1: used as the bulk of information to get a FISA

1482
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 1: warrant against the American a Trump campaign associate in the

1483
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: lead up to an election, and they lied to a

1484
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 1: FISA judge and they withheld pertinent information to a judge.

1485
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: That's what we did. So if you're asking me, if

1486
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:45,560
Speaker 1: I understand, and we've also defended the president. We've defended

1487
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:49,600
Speaker 1: the duly elected president when others are doing everything in

1488
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: their power to try and take him down. So are

1489
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:56,759
Speaker 1: there powerful forces at work against us that are trying

1490
01:22:56,840 --> 01:23:02,599
Speaker 1: to do the right thing and supported duly elected president? Absolutely? Absolutely, So, Um,

1491
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word. Look on the two

1492
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: sides of the elector you got guys like Clarence Learns,

1493
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: founders Vermin Game, Michael Flynn of lieutenant general who speaks

1494
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: something and because he's not on the right side of

1495
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: the ledger d full. I mean, there's a there's a

1496
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 1: general being pushed down, being forced because of the threat

1497
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: of Listen, if you didn't lead a perfect life, everything

1498
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: comes out, Sean, I just gotta tell you this, stay

1499
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 1: in there. I know your heart is not trouble with

1500
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: my brother and should be that voice. And you know,

1501
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: you know what the sad thing is if and by

1502
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: the way, I need to add other people and this

1503
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: like Rush and and Mark Levin has been a few

1504
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: of us um and you know, I gotta tell you something.

1505
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: It's uh, they don't like who we are. And really

1506
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: their contempt is for the American people. They don't like

1507
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: how the American people voted. They don't like that they

1508
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: elected a disruptor. They don't like that they erect elected

1509
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 1: an iconoclast. Bruce, thank you for a great call. By

1510
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: the way, Bruce is in New Mexico. Next on the

1511
01:23:55,880 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show, What's Up, Hey, Sean? Two things. As

1512
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 1: an s FBI agent, this Comy book and what he

1513
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 1: has done has proven exactly what so many of my

1514
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 1: fellow FBI agents were saying, that Comy is a self

1515
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 1: serving egotist. And uh, it's embarrassing. What he has done

1516
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: to the FBI is embarrassing. The level of crap that

1517
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 1: he has pushed down on the street agents, and it's

1518
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,560
Speaker 1: absolutely abysmal. And then, as retired Airport's Lieutenant Colonel I

1519
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:30,560
Speaker 1: wanted to thank you for carrying the drum beat on

1520
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton on everything that went on with file gates there.

1521
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: If I had done one tense of what she did

1522
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: and what was accomplished under her, and and the way

1523
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 1: the files were moved from the secret servers to non

1524
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 1: classified servers, my children would still be visiting me in

1525
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 1: Leavin Worth. Thank you for carrying the drumbeat on that one. Listen.

1526
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:54,680
Speaker 1: You know, we all do it together. I listen. I

1527
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,719
Speaker 1: don't think I'm any more important than anybody. My work

1528
01:24:57,840 --> 01:24:59,599
Speaker 1: is more public. But at the end of the day,

1529
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, I use my analogy. We're all spokes in

1530
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: the wheel. You know, if everybody didn't go out and

1531
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: vote for Trump at Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, okay,

1532
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be president. But the American people spoke. And

1533
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 1: since the day, since before he was elected, in the

1534
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: day he was elected, there's been nothing but an effort

1535
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 1: to delegitimize and take down this president, and they do

1536
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,240
Speaker 1: not want him in office. And we now see how

1537
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: what these deep state actors were capable of. I'll be honest,

1538
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 1: I I never thought it was this bad ever, And

1539
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: if we don't get it right now, I really think

1540
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: we lose the country. I mean, I think it's that severe,

1541
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,799
Speaker 1: you know, And to tie it into the teen elections

1542
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,719
Speaker 1: one of the things that you're gonna have to factor

1543
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 1: in regardless. You know, there's going to be Republicans that

1544
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: are gonna have to get out and vote, even if

1545
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:51,759
Speaker 1: you don't particularly love your representative or your senator, because

1546
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: we know what the Democrats want to do if they

1547
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 1: get back power in the House and the Senate. They

1548
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: want to impeach him and they'll make up a reason.

1549
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 1: Uh chat is Middland, Texas? Next? Hey, Chad, how are

1550
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: you glad you called? Jehan? Hi? Happy? Funny? Do you

1551
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 1: thank you for taking a call? It's always a pleasure

1552
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 1: to speak with you. Um. I just you know, all

1553
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: this news day in the day out of coming in

1554
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: the leaks that he had, it's just that much more

1555
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 1: of an embarrassment that we're having in this country. And

1556
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: they're so uh pro to still Trump pressure collusion licking

1557
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 1: with the Russians when they're long time who they praised

1558
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: for so much. Jim comey, well he himself how many

1559
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: weeks they have already been confirmed that he did you

1560
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: know it's Look, I do think there's legitimacy to the

1561
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: president's comments. The whole investigation was based on in a

1562
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: legal league by James Comey, And now we know the

1563
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 1: referral on Comey. Last week was a massive week. You

1564
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 1: gotta understand. You had the criminal referral against Andrew McCabe,

1565
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 1: you had the congressional criminal referrals against pretty much everybody.

1566
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 1: I won't repeat all their names is too many. And

1567
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 1: now we've got Comy is in criminal jeopardy because he

1568
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 1: lead classified materials. That is again, a lot of it

1569
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,720
Speaker 1: goes back to what Hillary did eighteen USC. Seven nine.

1570
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: You cannot do what Comey did. He knows it, but

1571
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: he did it for a political purpose. And that's why

1572
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 1: I tried to warn him. Nobody listened. He said he

1573
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: never heard of me, or listened to me or watched

1574
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 1: me before. I'm not sure I really believe that. And

1575
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 1: he went out on a book tour. He wrote a book. Anyway, Well,

1576
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: now he finds himself in making contradictory statements, backtracking, and

1577
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 1: you see that. You know, basically all he did was

1578
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: wrap up his testimony with you know, some colorful descriptions

1579
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: like he was like a mom boss. He was orange,

1580
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:40,599
Speaker 1: but his eyes were white. He wasn't as tall as

1581
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: I thought. His hands were just average sized, not like

1582
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: my hands. I mean, you know, petty, insignificant. Clearly I

1583
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,560
Speaker 1: wish Hillary Weary were elected. Yeah, no kidding, we know

1584
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 1: you wish Hillary was elected because you tried to help her.

1585
01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 1: I only wanted to legitimize her. He No, he only

1586
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: released that Anthony Weener laptop because New York was about

1587
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:03,719
Speaker 1: to expose them for having had that information for five weeks.

1588
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you they're not being honest. All

1589
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:12,679
Speaker 1: these people now find themselves in really significant, serious, deep

1590
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 1: legal trouble. So are there all these deep state actors

1591
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 1: that are furious that we've been ap peeling the onion

1592
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 1: for a year and we've got to this point and

1593
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 1: there's a raw nerve that's now opened and that I

1594
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 1: am more than just a mere annoyance to them. But

1595
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: we've been right, and we've been effective, and we've told

1596
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: the truth. And they never wanted to be exposed to

1597
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 1: all this absolutely true? You know, did they did they

1598
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 1: want this to be clean? In other words, their delegitimization

1599
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 1: of the president. Did they want him out of office.

1600
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: Did they want to concoct this, this phony narrative of

1601
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion. I've never seen anything like this in

1602
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 1: my entire life, thirty years in radio, twenty three years

1603
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: in at Fox. But it's happened. It's the biggest abuse

1604
01:28:56,280 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 1: of power scandal ever. And if we don't get this right,

1605
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 1: everything that you think is the United States of America,

1606
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: everything you think about the rule of law, everything you

1607
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: think about equal application of the law, everything you think

1608
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 1: about this being a constitutional republic, goes out the window,

1609
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 1: and we're basically Venezuela because deep state actors control everything.

1610
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 1: Now we get it right, and we put in place

1611
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:28,559
Speaker 1: measures to protect against deep state actors, against the abuse

1612
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 1: of the powerful tools of intelligence, against the politicizing of

1613
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 1: departments like the State Department, the FBI, the Department of Justice. Yeah,

1614
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: we can get back on the right track. And the

1615
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 1: people that have suffered in all of this are the

1616
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 1: American people because they as a result of all of

1617
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: these shenanigans and frankly, law breaking, the president has not

1618
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: had a full day to just focus his attention on

1619
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 1: on running and governing the country. And still he's accomplished

1620
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 1: a lot and they hate him for that and for

1621
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 1: Trump to for them to succeed, this president has to fail.

1622
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 1: That's what you need to know. Anyway, I hope that

1623
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 1: makes sense. One Shawn told free telephone number if you

1624
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Scott is

1625
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: in Staten Island in New York the All New AM

1626
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:16,680
Speaker 1: seven ten w R. What's going on? Hey, how are

1627
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 1: you doing? Sean pig fans? But UM, I got this

1628
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 1: question about Mr Sessions. UM. My take on Sessions is um,

1629
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:30,120
Speaker 1: once President Trump won, or they knew that he was

1630
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: gonna win because they knew he was gonna win. Um,

1631
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 1: even though they had planned for her to win, you know,

1632
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: with all the how we say cheating, UM, I kind

1633
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 1: of think that they the deep state if I think

1634
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 1: he's part of it, that's my opinion. And I think

1635
01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 1: that he was nudged on to go to be the

1636
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: first guy to um approach the president. And that's well,

1637
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 1: I've never seen this in my life. The day he

1638
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 1: is confirmed, the next day the guy accuses himself. I mean,

1639
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 1: it's it's single that one decision put us in this

1640
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:15,639
Speaker 1: mess that the country now finds itself and now maybe

1641
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 1: in the end it's going to be a good thing

1642
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 1: because a lot of cleaning up gets to get done.

1643
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: But it certainly hasn't been great for the country or

1644
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 1: the president in any way, saying and now because he

1645
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't been he hasn't done anything. You know,

1646
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: he's been on immigration, Okay, but he's not going you know,

1647
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 1: he's not going after anybody, um himself. Um, he's letting

1648
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 1: and the other guy, Rosenstein, run rough shot over everybody,

1649
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 1: over everybody. Greg Jared says, the real A j is Rosenstein, exactly.

1650
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:53,920
Speaker 1: And then he just said the other day that if

1651
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: Rosenstein gets fired that he's going to resign. Now now,

1652
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's the other thing. That's the other

1653
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 1: thing the President just said when he was talking with

1654
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:08,680
Speaker 1: the Japanese Prime minister the other day. You know, they

1655
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 1: keep asking him these questions and that was terrible to

1656
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: ask from that question as he was talking with the

1657
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 1: Prime minister at Mara Lago, so they asked him once again,

1658
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,880
Speaker 1: are you going to fire him? And for the nineteen

1659
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 1: thousand times, he said, no, I am not going to

1660
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 1: fire these two gentlemen. Okay, we know that. Um. He

1661
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 1: now now with with Sessions, Okay, he's not why would

1662
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 1: he resign if if if the president even you know,

1663
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: did get rid of Rosenstein, why would he resign? Listen,

1664
01:32:44,160 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. I don't know

1665
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 1: why a second special council hasn't been appointed. We know

1666
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 1: that crimes have been committed. We've gone over them again

1667
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:56,920
Speaker 1: and again and again. I think that Jeff Sessions, in

1668
01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 1: his own way, believes that that there's a process. I

1669
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 1: said that if we get to the point, we need

1670
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:04,760
Speaker 1: a special counsel. The only problem with this is, you know,

1671
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 1: how long does this go on? And when do we

1672
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:10,600
Speaker 1: get to the truth? And when does all of this

1673
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 1: nonsense end? I mean, at this point, it's like there's

1674
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:18,600
Speaker 1: no end in sight for any of this. Anyway, I

1675
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 1: wish I could talk to you all day, Scott, I

1676
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 1: wish I had more time. Linda gave you the gold

1677

Speaker 1: Star caller of the day. Why did you get because

1678
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:26,599

1679
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:30,320

1680
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:32,720

1685
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 1: and they on eat candy all day long. I'm like,

01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 1: keep that crap away from well. You know what helps

1687
