You're all right that from 27 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: the UH confirmation hearings in the Senate. You'd dish arry 28 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: earlier today for Senator Jeff Sessions to be the Attorney general. 29 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: What did I predict yesterday? I predicted exactly every single 30 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: solitary argument that the left and liberals would make. It 31 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: is so predictable, it is so mainstream now, it is 32 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: the only thing in their playbook. You know, there's one 33 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: interesting moment there because a lot of code pink ladies 34 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: got thrown out of the hearings today, and you've got 35 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: people trying to put on white sheets and acting like 36 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 1: their clan members and they got thrown out of there, 37 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. And but that one 38 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 1: guy that said you're evil, You're evil. Now, I'm gonna 39 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: The only reason I highlight that is there are democrats 40 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: in their heart of hearts they think if you are 41 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: a conservative and you don't believe in bigger government and 42 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: a cradle to grave mentality and and wound to the tomb, 43 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: that there is evil in you. And in spite of 44 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: all of the data that we have from the Jimmy 45 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: Carter years and and the bombing years have been so 46 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: atrocious for every single demographic group in this country, millions 47 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: more in poverty, food stamps, out of work, not buying homes, 48 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: where it's recovery, no growth, lowest labor participation. They can't 49 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 1: see that their policies failed. They will not be able 50 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: to recognize it. I mean that's You're gonna see the 51 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: President tonight. I'll start the show tonight and I'll say everything, 52 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: this is what the President didn't tell you, and he'll 53 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: talk about all his economic success and and he will 54 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: whittle away, well, you know, one statistic while private sector 55 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: jobs or this sector job, or that sector, or this 56 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: age group or that demographic, it's just all nonsense. Because 57 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: the reality is all those numbers I gave to you 58 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: all last year are as relevant today as ever. One 59 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: of the most fascinating, fascinating developments since the election, or 60 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: all of these companies that are deciding. You know what, 61 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: I like the sound of what Donald Trump is saying. 62 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: I like going from one of the highest corporate tax 63 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: rates in the industrialized world to one of the lowest. 64 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: And as a result of that, you know, you see 65 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: all of these car companies now deciding forward. And uh, 66 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: I guess what was the other one? Fiat Chrysler and 67 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: of course Carrier. And then we told you yesterday the 68 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: story of this this billionaire guy, what's his name, um 69 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: the Ali Baba executive chairman Jack ma He's chatting with 70 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 1: Trump how to create one million US jobs over five years. 71 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: Trump is talking about allowing corporations to repatriate their money 72 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: at a low tem percent rate, not the thirty five 73 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: percent rate that we currently have. You know, you've got 74 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: we're literally now all everything's on hold, and it's having 75 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: an impact in other ways. Now Mexico is scared to death. 76 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: Mexico now has seen three major companies in America now 77 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: pledged to stop producing their cars, their air conditioners, their 78 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: products in Mexico. And they're taking those factories and they're 79 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: going to build in Michigan. They're going to build in Detroit, 80 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: They're going to build in Wisconsin. And Ohio and Pennsylvania. 81 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: And then if once you open up energy independence on 82 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: top of that, there's no telling how big this could get. 83 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: So now, immediately, immediately, what did Donald Trump say? I 84 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: played it last night on TV. I said, Donald Trump said, yeah, 85 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna appropriate money for the wall. But I asked 86 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: him during the campaign, I said, well, you don't expect 87 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: Mexico to write a check to you. They're not gonna 88 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: pay for the wall. I said, no, they're not gonna 89 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: pay for it that way. They're gonna pay for it 90 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: this way. And then he talked about renegotiating NAFTA and 91 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: other trade deals, and he talked about how much money 92 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: we would save and by incentivizing companies to stay, how 93 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: that will increase our our tax based money coming into 94 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: the country, putting more people to work, less people dependent 95 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: on government. And it just works. It's called the free market. 96 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: So Mexico's new Farm Relations secretary he wants to start 97 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: talks with Donald Trump immediately about NAFTA and about the 98 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: wall all and he wants to talk about the wall 99 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: because he sees all of these companies now being incentivized 100 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: with the hope that that our federal government is going 101 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: to be a partner, you know, the guy from Carrier. 102 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna have a problem if there's 103 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: a bureaucratic regulation that's killing the air conditioning business. To 104 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: get on the phone directly with the President of the 105 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: United States and say, hey, remember me, I'm the guy 106 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: that made a deal with you, and I said, I'm 107 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: not gonna send those jobs to Mexico. I need your 108 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: help because this is becoming cost prohibitive what they're doing 109 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: to the economy, and then hence jobs will be able 110 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: to remain here. You know, Apple announced now they are 111 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: seeking to expand manufacturing in Arizona. Good for Arizona. They 112 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: deserve it. You know, you've got the You've got all 113 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: of these federal workers. Now they're preparing for cuts under Trump. 114 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: I love Rand. Paul's going to join us later on 115 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: the program. Rand has produced a budget unlike I have 116 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: no idea why. He only got fourteen of his colleagues 117 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: to support a deal that would balance the budget in 118 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: five years, which included, by the way, a freeze on 119 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: federal spending. It with some flexibility. If you want to 120 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: spend more on defense, you'd have to cut in this area. Instead, 121 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: there's certainly a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse in government. 122 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: Why would Republicans when they have control of all three 123 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: branches of government. They have the House, they have the Senate, 124 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: they have the presidency in the White House. Why are 125 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: they over ten years going to raise the debt by 126 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: ten trillion dollars. I thought they were the party of 127 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: limited government. I thought they were the party of balanced budgets. 128 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: Now there is a way to pay for infrastructure, but 129 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: you gotta pay for it as you go. Maybe some 130 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: of that money comes from energy and the jobs that 131 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: are created and the taxes that are involved. Maybe some 132 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: of that money comes from repatriated money back into the country, 133 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: and you can take a certain percentage of that and 134 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: earmark that towards whatever infrastructure spending you want. But I 135 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: hope they so dramatically change and shift how we do 136 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: things in Washington will be so awesome. Imagine you take 137 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: any any project that you want for infrastructure, and rather 138 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: than allowing that money to go through Congress in their 139 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: greedy hands in the bureaucracy, you know what if we 140 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: had an independent board of business people that would prioritize 141 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: what the projects are in all fifty states, and then 142 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: from there appropriate the funds and take it away from 143 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: the federal government, give it directly to the states, with 144 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: a mandate that they complete the task on time, under budget, 145 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: or they don't get any more federal money. There are 146 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: ways to incentivize, incentivize people to do it well. Fiat 147 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: Chrysler announced the huge US investment they're pulling out. They're 148 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: gonna invest a billion dollars in two US factories in Michigan, 149 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: and they're gonna start producing their pick up trucks and 150 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: and hot selling SUVs and get out of producing small 151 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: and mid sized cars. Ford is going to move their 152 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: plant back to the United States that they were sending, 153 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: but a billion dollars is going to be spent by 154 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: Fiat Chrysler in Michigan. Ohio, by the way, is gonna 155 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: get another two thousand jobs out of this deal. Here's 156 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: an interesting side note. I want to know about the economy, 157 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: want to know about liberalism and it's spectacular failure. It's 158 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: not that hard. There's a story in the Fiscal Times 159 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: that says, oh, Chicago and New York, two of the 160 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: most liberal cities, two of the most big government liberal 161 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: cities in the country are in the worst financial shape 162 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: among large US cities. Now why is that because they 163 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: spend more than they take in. You look at the 164 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: amount of money as for example, eight million people living 165 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: in New York and just the amount of money they 166 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: get in city taxes and state taxes. And you know, 167 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: I mean they taxed you everywhere but loose in New York. 168 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: There's a death tax federally, a ten percent death tax 169 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: in the state of New York. I think even have 170 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: a city death tax. And you end up with like 171 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: forty cents of every dollar that you already paid taxes 172 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: on the first time. And government feels they can take 173 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: their greedy hands and put it in your pocket. You know, 174 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: l A Los Angeles and other liberal city they need 175 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: to borrow millions of dollars to cover all the legal 176 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: payouts that they're paying. Who can afford this? Anyway, back 177 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: to the everything that I predicted, I'm not as um 178 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: alarmed as I might have been yesterday. But after I 179 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: played Clarence Thomas, and after I played Robert Bork, and 180 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: after I played a history of the Democrats, playing the 181 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: race card, and watching the hearings today, I mean, it 182 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 1: was every single thing that I predicted, and it all 183 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: happened before your eyes today. Notice how the Democratic Party, 184 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: the left wing of this party is so worked up 185 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: over the ku Klux Klan. Remember last summer, Donald Trump 186 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: didn't announce David Duke fast enough. I honestly don't think 187 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,599 Speaker 1: he knew who David Duke was. I really he believed that. 188 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: But and you say, well, why didn't he know? He 189 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: should have known? Not really? You know who follows what 190 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: these these idiots radicals are saying and doing. Nobody cares. 191 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: That's pretty old news, David Duke. Anyway, you got the 192 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: Code Pink demonstrators showing up at Jeff Sessions and the 193 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: confirmation hearings dressed up in white sheets and hoods. You know, 194 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: where are all these crusaders for racial tolerance when Democrats 195 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: made a genuine card carrying former clan member President pro 196 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: tem of the U. S. Senate. Where were they when 197 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: Robert KKK Bird was third in line for the presidency. 198 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't remember any protests by Code Pink when that happened. 199 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: I don't remember the Reverend Al Sharpton calling it a 200 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: nightmare when his fellow left wingers made a one time 201 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: clan recruiter, the most powerful Democrat in Congress. Where was 202 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: code pink this election season? When Hillary blurted out that 203 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: former Klansman Robert Bird had been her mentor in the 204 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: US Senate, referring to her first year as a senator 205 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: in two thousand and one. The same year, by the way, 206 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: that Robert Bird blurted out the N word to Tony 207 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: Snow on national TV, not once, but twice. Where was 208 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: the Congressional Black Caucus when that happened. Where was Jesse Jackson? 209 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: Why were they all silent? Here's a guy that actually 210 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: prosecuted the clan successfully on multiple occasions, Jeff Sessions, and 211 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't get credit. Here's a guy that stood up 212 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: for the freedom marchers and Rosa Parks and every instance 213 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: that is like voting rights going back to the seventies 214 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: and eighties, and he did so successfully. And yet he 215 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: asked to answer these assinine questions and this dog and 216 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: pony show at the Senate Judiciary Committee. You know, where's 217 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: the outrage? You see what I always call it selective 218 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: moral outrage by the Democratic Party. Anyway, eight nine one, 219 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: Shawn is a to free telephone number. All right, So 220 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: Corey Booker yes, he makes up little green men in 221 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: his head. What is that? How do you make up 222 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: a composite of all these different people that you've run 223 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: into and tell a story with such passion as he 224 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: has been telling. Anyway, what we played for you earlier? 225 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: That was back in February of what when Jeff Sessions 226 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: partnered with Booker to award the Congressional Gold Medal to 227 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: those that participated in the sixty Voting Rights Act and 228 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: march from Selma to Montgomery. And just like he did 229 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: for the Freedom Writers in nine six one, and just 230 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: like he did for Rosa Parks, and Booker said, I 231 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: feel blessed and honored to have partnered with Senators Sessions 232 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: and being the Senate sponsors of this important award. This 233 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: is truly one of my life's greatest moments. I am 234 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: humble to be able to participate here and paying tribute 235 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: to some of the extraordinary Americans whose footsteps paved the 236 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: way for me and my generation. I feel blessed an 237 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: honor to have partnered with Senator Sessions in being the 238 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: Senate sponsors of this important award. Okay, so what's he 239 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: gonna say tomorrow to contradict that and that's the funny thing. 240 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got Pat Lahey, and you got Dick Durbin, 241 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: and Dick Turbin worked with Senator Sessions too, so you 242 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: can get as equal as possible. There's this disparity in 243 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: sentencing crack cocaine versus powder cocaine. All the experts I 244 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: remember interviewing at the time just said the crack was 245 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: that much more insidious and evil, a much harder drug, 246 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: a much more concentrated level of the drug, but it 247 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: was disproportionate and as much as it tended to impact 248 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: the black community more, and they reduced the sentencing together. 249 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: And then he went after Jeff Sessions on the fact 250 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: that he doesn't think people with the three strikes you're 251 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: out law ought to get it. These pardons that Obama 252 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: has been given out is though that somehow that must 253 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: be racist, and he highlighted one particular individual. Does it 254 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: matter that black pastors are in Washington rallying for the 255 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: Attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions? Apparently not to a lot 256 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: of people. You know, when this and you when we've 257 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: played those protesters earlier in the Republican theory, Jeff Sessions 258 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: is evil I really think that Democrats believe that. I 259 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: think democrats think Republicans in many ways are evil. I'm 260 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: gonna tell you they're gonna have a very hard time 261 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: coping in the next two d days. And what do 262 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean by that? What most people haven't figured out 263 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: yet on the Democratic side is is Donald Trump already 264 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: has planned on day one, in the opening hours of 265 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: his presidency, to undo every executive order that is hurting 266 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: the country, hurting businesses in America, hurting the economy in America, 267 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: and is going to go after this with a vengeance 268 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: and with a passion. He'll spend the first hours of 269 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: his presidency undoing all of the regulatory burdensome, regulatory, you know, 270 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: disasters that have been put on the economy since Obama 271 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: has been the president of the United States. It's gonna 272 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: go fast, and that's probably of the agenda of Obama's 273 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, there's an upside. I guess if you're ruled 274 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: by executive fiat, you get things done with a stroke 275 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: of a pen. But there's also a downside. And the 276 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: downside is it can be undone just as simply. You know, 277 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: Obama's touting his great success, you know, we he gave us, 278 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: He doubled the national debt. He gave us a trillion 279 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: dollar tax increase in Obamacare over a decade, one trillion dollars. 280 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: That will be the next thing that goes. By the 281 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: time you get rid of Obamacare and executive orders, about 282 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: of the Obama presidency has done gone wiped away off 283 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: the books. It's almost as if he never lived there, 284 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: like he never existed, and the only thing that really 285 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: remains is his horrific foreign policy, the horrific state of 286 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: the economy, the judges that he's appointed, and the record 287 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: debt that he's accumulated. You know, there's an estimate that 288 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: is out Regulation Rodeo and American Action Form. They assessed 289 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: eight hundred and seventy point three billion dollars the cost 290 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: of all the new federal government regulations finalized since Obama 291 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: took office seven hundred and fifty billion dollars our trade 292 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: deficit last year. It's interesting to watch Mexico. They can't 293 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: get in the negotiating room fast enough to meet Trump, 294 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: which puts Trump in a in a great position just 295 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: by just by picking up the phone, making phone calls 296 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: and pressuring companies and incentivizing companies to stay here more 297 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: of an incentivizing through getting rid of regulation and and 298 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: better tax policies for corporations, he's incentivizing them to stay. 299 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't think most corporations like the idea of taking 300 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: their corporations to Mexico. I think if if they can 301 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: make a healthy profit here, they don't mind paying their 302 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: fiftcent corporate tax rate. Every one of their employees will 303 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 1: pay income taxes. If you get rid of the regulations 304 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: that are burdening them with billions of dollars in costs, 305 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 1: you take away that now they can make a healthy profit, 306 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: and then then you can put Americans back to work, 307 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: and we can revitalize cities like Detroit and Milwaukee and 308 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and all these other cities that desperately need help, 309 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: and and places around Cleveland, another city. Anyway, you have 310 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: a six hundred ninety billion dollar increase in in student debt. Well, 311 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: what our government does, I as we do, the estimated 312 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: cost of all the new ep A regulations finalized since 313 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: Obama took office three billion. The projected cost of Obama's 314 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: finalized Clean Power Plan regulations three hundred billion dollars. And 315 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: this is insane. The amount of money that we're talking about. 316 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: This is real money, millions and billions of dollars that's 317 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: holding back this economy. And then Obama literally said he 318 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: goes well, he admitted Sunday that he never imagined Trump 319 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: would become president because he's out of touch with the 320 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: American people because he lives in a bubble. Yeah, that's 321 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: that's that's saying a lot, you know when you really 322 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: look at it. Because the President is going to speak 323 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 1: tonight and he's not going to give you the statistics. 324 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: I won't regurgitate them because I made a promise I'll 325 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: stop using them. But I did it for effect last 326 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: year during the election. Here, he's not going to tell 327 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: you all those things. He's not going to tell you 328 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: that Iran is better off because do you realize since 329 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 1: we gave money to a rank guess, what do you think? 330 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: What do you think Iran is spending that money on. 331 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: Obama is now paid a ran more than ten billion dollars. Well, 332 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: there's an article out today how Iran is spending the 333 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: nuclear deal money on troops, on missiles and arms for terrorists. 334 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: We had to have earlier this week or over the 335 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: weekend the country that Obama showered with these billions of 336 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: dollars in sanctions relief. Well, they can't resist launching attacks 337 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: on our warships. So a U. S. Navy destroyer had 338 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: to fire three warning shots at four Iranian fast attack 339 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: vessels after they closed. We're closing in at a higher 340 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: rate of speed near the straits of Hormones, to U. S. 341 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: Defense officials told Reuters. You may remember back in September, 342 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: Trump vowed that any Iranian vessel that harasses the US 343 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: Navy in the Gulf in this particular case will be 344 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: shot out of the water. And I bet you the 345 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: Iranians believe him. We'll see over time how that unfolds. 346 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: And Trump's Defense secretary, this will be interesting to watch. 347 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: The man that he tapped to be the next Secretary 348 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: of Defense literally wanted to launch air strikes against Iran 349 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: after Iran built missiles that were used in several deadly 350 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: attacks on US troops in Iraq. Mad Dog Matdis wanted 351 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: to do this, He had a plan to retaliate. The 352 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: Obama administration denied his request. Things are gonna change, and 353 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: these countries will learn very quickly that there is a 354 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: new sheriff in town now. I think it's his goal 355 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: to get into foreign conflict. Of God, I hope not. 356 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: Who wants to foreign conflict. We know that it's eventually 357 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: going to be politicized. But I'm telling you what the 358 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,239 Speaker 1: left goal is. You're hearing it, you're seeing it at 359 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: the Jeff Sessions hearings today. Their goal is to delegitimize 360 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Their goal is to create a caricature. Their 361 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: goal is to create an image. They're not going to change. 362 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: Their talking points are predictable. Republicans are mean spirited. Republicans 363 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: only care about the rich, they don't care about the poor. 364 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: Republicans are racist. Republicans are sexist. Republicans are homophobic, their 365 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: Islamic phobic. There's xenophobic. Every single agenda item of Donald 366 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: Trump is going to be is going to be challenged 367 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: by the left, and today is only a small sample 368 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: of what's to come. If Trump tries to lower the 369 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: tax rate. I am concerned about what seems like a 370 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: willingness to spend too much money without a I have 371 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: not seen a how do we pay for the infrastructure 372 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: for the trillion dollars they're talking about. There is ways 373 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: to do it. Rand Paul, I know, put forward a 374 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: budget that would be balanced in five years this week, 375 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: and that's sort of a knockoff of the Penny plan. 376 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: He just wants to free spending. In other words, you'd 377 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: eliminate baseline budgeting and you don't have these built in 378 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: increases for every government department every year, and you you'd 379 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: have some flexibility. Maybe you want to spend more on defense, 380 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: less on on the e p A, more on defense, 381 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: less on the Interior Department. So there are ways to 382 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: do it. There's certainly a lot of fat to be cut. 383 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: But then Republicans on the other hand, go around and 384 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: this frustrates the living daylights out of me. Why did 385 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: they raise the debt ceiling nearly ten trillion dollars, the 386 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: same amount of debt that Obama took on in the 387 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: last eight years. That means it's status quo. They've got 388 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: the house, They've got the same in it. I thought 389 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: they were the party of limited government, balance budgets. They've 390 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,719 Speaker 1: better take into consideration that we cannot as a country, 391 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: as an economy, keep bringing on this level of debt, 392 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: these high deficits without paying a very dear price. At 393 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: some point down the line, interest rates are gonna go up. 394 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: They're starting to creep up now, and that means that 395 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna eventually have to pay for it. So there's 396 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: a there's a lot happening here. I think when Trump 397 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: goes forward and any appoints a Supreme Court justice, you've 398 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: never seen demonization like it's coming. It doesn't matter who 399 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: he picks. Whoever he picks, Chuck Schumer's pledged to oppose, 400 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: So if he picks from any of his list, they're 401 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: going to be opposed. When he puts an originalist on 402 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: the bench, then we're gonna see if Mitch McConnell has 403 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: a backbone, whether or not Mitch McConnell will play by 404 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: Harry Reid's rules, how committed Mitch McConnell is, And the 405 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: same charges, the same repetitive if bumper stickers and slogans 406 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: will be used in those hearings, and probably for every 407 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: other cabinet official that goes before whatever appropriate committee they 408 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: have to go before. When Donald Trump wants a tax 409 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: plan that lowers the corporate tax to fifercent, allows the 410 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: tem per cent repatriation for trillions overseas, it's gonna be 411 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: Republicans hate the poor, and they want to want to 412 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 1: help only their their buddies that are rich. I never 413 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: got a job from a poor person. And if those 414 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: people continue this process of what we see unfolding with Fia, 415 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: Chrysler and Carrier and Ford and all these other companies, 416 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: and this Ali Baba guy who wants to create a 417 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: million jobs in the US in the next couple of years, 418 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: well then we're gonna see all of those Americans that 419 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: have been suffering the camp by cars and homes and houses, 420 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: and they're gonna now have money to to to see 421 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: their dreams come to fruition. That's the whole point. If 422 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: these companies don't invest in Detroit, if they don't invest 423 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, if they don't invest in Cleveland, if they 424 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: don't invest in Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, in Philly, how are 425 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: you gonna save these cities? The number what liberals have 426 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: tried hasn't worked. The one thing they may think Republicans 427 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: are evil, but they'll never look at how they have failed. 428 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: National debt nineteen trillion, nineteen point nine trillion, national debt 429 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: increase under Obama nine point three trillion, increase in regulation 430 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: paperwork five hundred and eighty three million hours. Obama administration 431 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: payment to a RAN in the hostage deal four hundred 432 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: million dollars. Criminal illegal aliens released by Obama eighty six 433 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: thousand two d for fiscal year through new federal regulations 434 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: finalized since Obama took office two thousand, nine hundred and 435 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: eighty eight average increase in college tuition costs under Obama 436 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: four thousand, eight hundred and fifty seven bucks at four 437 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: year public colleges. Economic costs of regulations eight hundred and 438 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,719 Speaker 1: seventy three point six billion dollars since Obama took office billion? 439 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: How does business compete with that economic environment? US global 440 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: trade deficit seven hundred thirty two point two billion. Increase 441 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: in student loan debt as I said, six hundred nine billion. 442 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: Manufacturing job losses since the president took office three hundred 443 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: and one thousand. Bureau of Labor Statistic Statistics estimated cost 444 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: ep A regulations three four billion, Economic costs regulations eight 445 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three point six billion. Homeownership rate is 446 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: down dramatically, lowest home ownership rate in fifty one years. 447 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: Number of Americans on food stamps under Obama from thirty 448 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: one million to forty three point three million. I mean, 449 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: if you want to look at Democrat, how is this 450 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: fared for the Democratic Party? Not well? Since two thousand 451 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: and nine Obama's in office, They've lost the president and 452 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: see thirteen Senate seat, sixty four House seats, thirteen governorships, 453 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: and thirty three state houses nearly a thousand seats total. 454 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: How's that hope and change? The thing working out for everybody? 455 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: Doesn't look too good. But that's not what you're gonna 456 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: hear tonight. I'm gonna hear. Iran has failed, i Rack 457 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: has failed, Afghanistan has failed, Benghazi, North Africa has failed, 458 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: the Russian reset failed, our our relations with China, North 459 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: Korea has failed. We've had the worst relationship with Israel 460 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: in our history. Where do we have any success? Isis 461 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: is on the move with the money that was provided 462 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: by pulling out of Iraq early. I want you to 463 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: clarify exactly where you stand and based on your conversation 464 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump where he spends stands on repealing and 465 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: replacing Obama here, because my understanding is you don't want 466 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: to repeal it until exactly that day there is a 467 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: plan in place to replace it and you've said that 468 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is with you on that, we're exactly is 469 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: he and where are you as a physician, as an individual, 470 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: as a patient. I'm very much opposed to Obamacare and 471 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: think it's been a disaster for our country, and I 472 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: will vote for a repeal. I do think, though, that 473 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: we should vote on replacement the same day. I'm putting 474 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: together a bill. It's virtually completed. It will be full 475 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: of the consensus opinions on replacement, basically that we need 476 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: to ensure the most amount of people at the least 477 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: amount of cost. It will involve three main areas for replacement. 478 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: One that we legalize the sale of inexpensive insurance so 479 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: everybody can buy it. We help people save so they 480 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: can buy insurance through help savings accounts. And then we 481 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: help individuals to associate with groups of individuals through health 482 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: association plans so they can spread their risk and get 483 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: a cheaper product. If you put those three market reforms together, 484 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: as well as some tax changes, I think you can 485 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: get something that virtually every Republican agrees to. But we 486 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: also help soften the blow as we go from Obamacare 487 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: to a more market oriented UH type of industry. Again, 488 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: all right. That was Senator Ran Paul Our two of 489 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Right down our toll free telephone number. 490 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: You want to be a part of this extravaganza, eight 491 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: hundred nine for one, Shawn, if you want to join us. 492 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: You know it's somewhat odd and a bit bizarre. I know. Look, look, 493 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: I know there are nine specific plans Republicans have out there, 494 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: and November nine came and went a long time ago, 495 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: and we knew that this was on the Trump agenda, 496 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: was going to be the number one item. It was 497 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: the number one pledge of almost every candidate that ran 498 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: for office in the House and Senate. That's Republican. And 499 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: I'll echo the words of Senator Rick sam Torham of Pennsylvania, 500 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: former senator, who said, I'm stunned that they don't have 501 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: a consensus plan yet at this point. Now, Tom Price 502 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: was going to be the Health and Human Services secretary. 503 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: He in fact has a plan. We have interviewed him 504 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: a number of times on this program about what that 505 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: plan is. Donald Trump talked at length with me in 506 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: interviews about health care savings, accounts, portability, taking your insurance 507 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: job to job co ops, as as Rand Paul was 508 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: talking about and health care savings accounts. Um. I think 509 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: all of the different items and the nine separate bills 510 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: are are pretty much in line, but they need one bill. 511 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: And the idea that you're gonna maybe within the next 512 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: year I'll come up with a replacement sounds insane to me, 513 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: and Senator Ram Paul of the Great State of Kentucky 514 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: joins us. How are you, Senator Hey Sean, thanks for 515 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: having me. I mean, it's a little bewildering to me 516 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: that we don't have a consensus plan at this late date. 517 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: Why don't we have one? You know, in some ways 518 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: we do have a consensus plan. There are consensus ideas 519 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: helping individuals to save through health savings accounts, legalizing the 520 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: form of all insurance sales, including inexpensive plans, and letting 521 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 1: people group together in associations. Those are agreed to by 522 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: probably ninety nine point nine percent of Republicans who are 523 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: elected in Congress. They just have tactically said, oh, well, 524 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: we'll get around to it sometime. So I've taken the 525 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: ball here and I've put them together into a bill, 526 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: and about an hour ago, apparently the Speaker of the House, 527 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan came forward and said, we can do them simultaneously. 528 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: And that's what I've been saying all along. We have consensus, 529 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: we already of the bills written. Let's put them together 530 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: and let's vote on it. And let's before something, not 531 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: just against something. Let's before something that will provide insurance 532 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: to a lot of people at a very inexpensive price. 533 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: I have been stopped by more people that obviously no 534 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: him in news, and I'm supporting. I supported Donald Trump 535 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: in the election, and I want this country to repeal 536 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: and replace Obamacare. There are a lot of people afraid 537 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: right now that somehow they think they're going to be 538 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: kicked off their plan this year. Can you assure them that, 539 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: in fact, that's not a part of anybody's strategy. I 540 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: know that's a democratic talking point, but that's not going 541 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: to happen. No, our goal is to ensure more people 542 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: and at a cheaper price. Obamacare's disaster is it actually 543 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: ensured less people, and it caused the prices to rise, 544 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: and that's why less people bought it. So in the 545 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: individual insurance market, this is about eleven million people, about 546 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: six percent of the whole insurance market. That's where their 547 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: disaster lies. The premiums are going through the roof, and 548 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: they made the insurance policies too expensive for young healthy people. 549 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: So young healthy people are not buying them because they say, 550 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: you know what, we get sick, we can just buy 551 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: it after we get sick. That's what Obamacare says. So 552 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: bombacare set up the perfect storm, the perfect nightmare. And 553 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: as a consequence, some companies like North Carolina Blue Cross 554 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: lost four hundred million dollars last year in the individual market. 555 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: So we've got to stop the bleeding, and the way 556 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: to do it is to legalize inexpensive insurance. Let insurance 557 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: companies sell high deductible plans that are inexpensive that young 558 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: people will be attracted to. Then you get young people 559 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: into the insurance market, which counterbalances the people who are sick. 560 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: Let me explain this market. I'm not sure if everybody 561 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: fully completely understands what you're talking about. Some of the 562 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: more inexpensive plans that are out there. In other words, 563 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: they're called catastrophic plans. Let's say you're young, you're in 564 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: your twenties or early thirties, you're generally healthy, and you 565 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: maybe need to check up every year or two years 566 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: at that point in your life. Because you have just 567 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: generally healthy, you work out, you're not subject to what 568 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: we experience here in old age, which as a pain 569 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: in the neck. But anyway, but you could buy a 570 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: catastrophic plan with a fairly high deductible. That would mean 571 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: that God forbid you ever got cancer, God forbid you 572 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: ever had a heart attack, God forbid you had a 573 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: bad accident. You would be covered. But you're not paying 574 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: for services that you're never going to need. In other words, 575 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: because of your youth and vitality. You're exactly right, and 576 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,479 Speaker 1: you've described them well, Shawn. But what's important to note 577 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: is that Obamacare made those policies illegal in America. It's 578 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: illegal to buy a catastrophic plan now because Obama said 579 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: he did not like those plans. He said they were inadequate, 580 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 1: and he thought he knew better than anyone everyone else. 581 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: But when he made those illegal, he greatly increased the 582 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: price of health insurance for young people. They quit buying it, 583 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: and the insurance pools became full of sick people, and 584 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: then the insurance companies are going bankrupt as a consequence. 585 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: So you have to legalize freedom. You have to let 586 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: people make their own choices, and you have to give 587 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: them inexpensive choices. We can help them, say, we can 588 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: give them tax credits. We can of the health savings plans, 589 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 1: and the health savings plans. We should let you buy 590 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: your insurance out of that tax deductible money. We should 591 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: also let you pay for you know, if you need 592 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: a diet plan, or you need an exercise plan, or 593 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: you want vitamins, or you want some kind of other 594 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: preventative care, and you're you're you're calling me fat. I 595 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: just heard you say, Hannity, you're fat. You need a 596 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: diet plan? Is that some people shown? Some people might 597 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: need this. But we do have a replacement plan. I'm 598 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: gonna insist that we vote on it the same day. 599 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: There's no reason the world we cannot have this together 600 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: by the time we I don't want to delay repeal. 601 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: I'm all for repeal immediately. As soon as we can 602 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: get to repeal, let's do it. But we should vote 603 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: on a replacement plan that involves freedom and the marketplace 604 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: and expanding the number of people who can get a 605 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: Really those three components that you talk about. We have 606 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: these illegal plans, these catastrophic plans, that are relatively inexpensive 607 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: but have a high rate of coverage. Again, for younger 608 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: people in particular, they would be really I think appealing 609 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: because you get a lot of coverage that if God 610 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: forbid bad things were to happen to you, then you 611 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: would be covered. But you pay a little bit of 612 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: a deductible maybe five, six, seven, eight thousand dollars, but 613 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: you're you're banking on your own health and your own 614 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: lifestyle choices and safety. For example, you don't drive fast, 615 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: you don't drink and drive, certain decisions you make, and 616 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: then that would be available for anybody. Health Care savings 617 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: accounts would be where you're putting money that is tax 618 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: deductible into your own account, and it would probably incentivize, 619 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: I would think, getting a yearly check up, and then 620 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: if you don't use that money, that money builds up 621 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: for future years in case God forbid, you get sick 622 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: or you get cancer, you have a heart attack. And 623 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: then we fixed one final thing. Nobody in America should 624 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: have to be out there buying insurance by themselves. Everybody 625 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: in America should be allowed to join with other people 626 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: to buy their insurance. So if you're a mom and 627 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: pop pest control business, and there's only two of you, 628 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: you and your spouse. People live in fear that their 629 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,439 Speaker 1: spouse or themselves will get cancer or get very sick 630 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: and then be dropped for their insurance. Rates will go 631 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 1: through the roof. If you join together with the people 632 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: in association, and if a hundred thousand people joined together 633 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: in association, you have leverage to demand lower prices for 634 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: your insurance. And you have leverage that says, you know what, 635 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: we're not buying insurance if it can cancel us or 636 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: raise our rates when we get sick. We want group insurance. 637 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: This can all happen voluntarily if you will just let 638 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: the plans developed by freeing them up from government. Let 639 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: may give you an example of this. There's a guy 640 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: that we interview fairly regularly on the program. You should 641 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: bring him into some of these hearings. His name is 642 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: Dr josh umber of Atlas m D out of Wichita, Kansas, 643 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 1: and what he's done in his own community is that 644 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: he and other doctors have created a co op. And 645 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 1: the co op is you pay X number of dollars 646 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: per person per year, and it's a very very modest rate, 647 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: and you get all the care that you need short 648 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: of surgery or cancer treatment. In other words, you get 649 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: all your preventative care. He'll take care of your blood pressure, 650 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: he'll give you a stress test, he'll do all those 651 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: things that most of us get. And then if you 652 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: have to move on to a specialist, that's where maybe 653 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: at astrophic plan would kick in. But more importantly, he 654 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: purchases his cooperative purchases directly from the pharmaceutical companies at 655 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: ridiculously low rates. He dispenses the medicine directly to his patients. 656 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: They save money on pharmaceuticals, they save money on doctors visits. 657 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: They have a doctor seven on call available for them, 658 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: and the patients love it. He's doing well financially and 659 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: it works for that community. Capitalism and freedom of choice works. 660 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: If we will let it work, all kinds of innovative 661 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: solutions would happen. So you might get a doctor that 662 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: provides for the first ten thousand dollars with a care, 663 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: and then you get a very very cheap policy above 664 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: ten thousands. But realize that of the public never spends 665 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. Insurance companies make money because you're prepaying 666 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: for all of this, so they are all kinds of innovative, 667 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: innovative ways. We can do this, but we've got to 668 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: get Obamacare rules and regulations that prevent innovation from occurring. 669 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: We have to get rid of those rules. Yeah, I 670 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: gotta tell you. All right, let me ask you why 671 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: is why are they talking about raising the debt ceiling 672 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: nine and a half trillion dollars for the next ten years. 673 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: I thought Republicans were in charge of the House and 674 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: Senate and spending. Now, what the hell is going on? 675 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,919 Speaker 1: Nothing disappoints me more. We're in charge of all three 676 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: branches of government. Told the country, if you put us 677 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: in charge, you'd have conservative government. And the first thing 678 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: they did out of the block was to introduced a 679 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: budget that will added nine point seven trillion. Now, if 680 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: they were on the phone here, they'd say, oh, we 681 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: had to do that to repeal Obamacare. Well, my response is, 682 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: why couldn't you have introduced a good budget, one that 683 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: balances in the near future and also repeal Obamacare. So 684 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: I did just that. I introduced an amendment yesterday that 685 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: would have replaced the Republican budget with a conservative budget 686 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 1: that freeze is spending for five years. Remember, we've talked 687 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: about the Penny Plan. This is actually one step less 688 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 1: than the Penny Plan, just simply a freeze. And I 689 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 1: only got fourteen of my colleagues to support it. So 690 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump told me in a lot of interviews 691 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: that he supports the Penny Plan, And maybe not for defense, 692 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,479 Speaker 1: maybe not for nondiscretionary spending, but certainly you can stop 693 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 1: the rate of increases or cola increases for some of 694 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: these programs with The interesting thing is, my budget would 695 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: have let you cut it anywhere you had to. You 696 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: had to end up with an overall freeze. But if 697 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: you thought military needed to go up fifty billion, you 698 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 1: could have gotten rid of the corporate welfare in the 699 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: Department of Commerce, and then you would have wound up 700 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 1: with your freeze by increasing military by fifty billion and 701 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: decreasing Department of Commerce by fifty billion. All kinds of 702 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: ways you can get to a freeze. But only fourteen 703 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: of my colleagues thought that really the debt was important 704 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,320 Speaker 1: enough to put forward a conservative budget that actually balances. 705 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: So they voted for a budget that never balances and 706 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: will add nine point seven trillion dollars on the debt. 707 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: This is the Republican Congress that's doing this, the Congress 708 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: that has the power of the purse um. I know, 709 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,240 Speaker 1: for example, I'm look, I know we need infrastructure spending, 710 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: and I know that the incoming the president elect, Donald Trump, 711 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: has talked about a trillion dollars. I know Democrats are 712 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 1: going crazy about it. To them, it's not another stimulus bill. Well, 713 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: i'd like, if we're gonna spend that money, I think 714 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: you need to pay as you go system. And if 715 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna, I don't think the country can afford an 716 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: the ten trillion dollars in debt. Why why only fourteen 717 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: Republicans said, It's hard to explain, but things getting grained 718 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: up here. The status quo is so strong. But on 719 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 1: infrastructure spending, I have a plan that would get his 720 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: more money for infrastructure. I would let all of the 721 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: American profit two trillion dollars of American profit overseas. I'd 722 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: let it come home at five percent, but I'd take 723 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: that five percent tax and I would put it all 724 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 1: into the road fund, and that would be a new 725 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: source for building roads in our country. And I just 726 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 1: leave it in place five percents a low tax. Right now, 727 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: it's thirty five percent so you could actually lower attacks dramatically. 728 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: But this will bring back the repatriated money that multinational 729 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: corporations parked or sure because they would be taxed at 730 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: such a high rate. Let me ask you this. You 731 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: talked to Donald Trump. He agreed if we repeal, we 732 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: should replace and do it the same day. At least 733 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: you're quoted in a in an interview, was doing that. 734 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 1: Have you talked to him about the need to balance 735 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: the budget? Because I talked to him at length during 736 00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: the campaign about it, And if you did, what did 737 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: he say? You know, we didn't have that conversation directly, 738 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: but we did talk. I have talked about with several 739 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 1: of his cabinet members that the only way you can 740 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: tackle the debt and not explode the debt as you do, 741 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: have to do entitlement reform. And uh, his at least 742 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: his cabinet members that have come before me have acknowledged 743 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: that we do have to look into entitlement reform. I 744 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: think this is still an object for discussion. It's not 745 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: as popular, obviously as other things that are going to 746 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: get done, and I think in the first hundred days 747 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: you're gonna see regulatory repeal, repeal of regulations that are 748 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: costing us jobs. And I'm hoping that we will see 749 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: a tax bill in the first six months, but I'm 750 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: hoping it does not get lost in the shuffle that 751 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: the debt has a Really, isn't it pretty despicable what's 752 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,479 Speaker 1: on display in the United States Senate and the Senate 753 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee today and all the same old talking point 754 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: that if you're a conservative, you've got to be a racist, 755 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 1: And this character characterization of of Jeff Sessions is just 756 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: it just discussed me. It's really insold and the people 757 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: who know Jeff Sessions. You know, one of his former 758 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: staffers is now the chief of staff for a congressman. 759 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,800 Speaker 1: He's the first African American to be a chief of 760 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: staff for a Republican in the House, and they asked 761 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: him about Jeff Sessions, and his points were that he 762 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: never saw any of that, that he promoted people based 763 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: on their talent and their merit. And I think it's 764 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 1: just really unfair because nobody in our society wants to 765 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 1: be called something you're not, and it is unacceptable to 766 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,320 Speaker 1: treat people based on their race or to be a racist. 767 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: And I don't believe Jeff Sessions is and I think 768 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,479 Speaker 1: it's really just sad that he has to spend time, 769 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, defending himself against scurrilous accusations like that. It's 770 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 1: it's pathetic, but it's it's wholly predictable. Senator Paul, I 771 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: like everything you're talking about here, and I hope, in 772 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: fact that we can get this done. Thanks for being 773 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: with us. Thanks Sean alright, eight hundred nine for one. 774 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: Shawn are told free telephone number if you want to 775 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Barbara streisand Barbara, thank 776 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: you for joining us. What did you think and feel 777 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: when you watch Merrel Streep last night talk about a 778 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: man who's going to be our president mocking someone's disability. 779 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: I thought that she said what she said beautifully and 780 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 1: it's easy enough to see the video online of Trump 781 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: mock and you just showed it actually, and I completely 782 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: agree with Meryl. It was a heartbreaking moment and so 783 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,879 Speaker 1: beneath the the dignity of the presidency, let alone any 784 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: respectful person. I mean, what we need more in this world, 785 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: I think is kindness and common decency and um, what 786 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: he did and how he reacts and how he needs 787 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: he has the need to uh talk back and insult 788 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 1: anybody who doesn't agree with him, and that's pretty disgraceful. 789 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: What do you make of the critique that Meryl Street 790 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 1: made last night that you can push this thing and 791 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: it becomes the norm that it's like Daniel Patrick Mona 792 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: in the Senator once said, you did you define deviancy downward? 793 00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: This kind of behavior becomes the normal political conversation. Well, 794 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: that's what it does. I mean, what's the signal to 795 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: little children, you know who watch television and see this 796 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: is the behavior of the soon to be president of 797 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 1: the United States. You know, little girls were heartbroken when 798 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: Hillary didn't get to be president. So I think it's 799 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 1: what they seem. Children will listen. I sang that in 800 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: a song once, you know, and they will see, and 801 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: they will learn and and you know, I'm in the 802 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: middle of having my teeth cleaned. Chris. You caught me. 803 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: When Donald Trump needed to find an attorney general, all 804 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: he had to do was look to his alt right 805 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: Republican Senator Jeff Sessions was a U S attorney in 806 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,279 Speaker 1: Alabama when then President Ronald Reagan nominated him for the 807 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: Federal Court, but the appointment broke down at Sessions confirmation 808 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: hearing when allegations over his alleged racial remarks took center stage. 809 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions is a man ahead of his time. He 810 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 1: was also right when it was still just called racism. 811 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 1: Thomas Figures, a black former assistant U S attorney in Alabama, 812 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: testified Sessions called him boy, joked about the Ku Klux Klan, 813 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: and warned him about the way he spoke to white people. 814 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 1: That was that, But who is Jeff Sessions now? Session 815 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 1: is still a racist. Jeff Session has shown both in 816 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 1: his career as a U S attorney but also in 817 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 1: his career as a United States Senator, has been on 818 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: hostility to the enforcement of civil rights, particularly in the 819 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,240 Speaker 1: area of voting rights. He's also opposed to same sex marriage, 820 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: rov Wade, equal pay, the Violence Against Women Act, and 821 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 1: universal background checks for gun purchases. Plus he's voted to 822 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: defund Planned Parenthood. Jeff Sessions for Attorney General even for Trump. 823 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,880 Speaker 1: This guy's extreme. Alright, So there you have Barbara streisand 824 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: of course she's going to defend Meryl Streep. Of course 825 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 1: that is the top priority the liberal left, and then 826 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 1: the Democratic Oh, Jeff Sessions is so extreme? Are they 827 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,240 Speaker 1: going to condemn this MTV culture writer joking that Sessions 828 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: had had stolen his Asian American granddaughter from toys r US. 829 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 1: You know, a lot happened today. I mean, you've got 830 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: people dressed up in white sheets, and it's just it's 831 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: right out of the old style Democratic playbook. Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic, zenophobic, 832 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 1: is homophobic and any other phobia you can talk about.

The last four or five 842 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: years have been rough for me. So for me be 843 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: able to be just in one position, one spot, to 844 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: listen to know what challenge you're gonna be on and 845 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: listen to you and call in has been practically impossible. Well, 846 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,320 Speaker 1: let me ask you a question, what's going on in 847 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: your life? Could I help you out? What is the matter? Oh? 848 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:29,799 Speaker 1: Mr Hanney, No, no, no, no, no, no no no no. Economic. 849 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 1: My issues were economic, and I have to Let's let's 850 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 1: put it this way. After two thousand if you were 851 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 1: called back in two thousand, uh, aid, we talked and 852 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: you were trying to get me to go on to 853 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: Michael Barry's show, etcetera. Well, what happened was due to 854 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,879 Speaker 1: do due to our scheduling calm confusion. I wasn't able 855 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 1: to be on the show. However, right after two thousand 856 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 1: and two thousand nine, because of the hope and change 857 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: that President Obama promise in the hopes of keeping my 858 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: house in my cars, I had to change where I 859 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 1: was working at. So I ended up having to start 860 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 1: traveling across the country to keep my to keep just 861 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:11,879 Speaker 1: to keep the just to keep things in perspective, life 862 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: is life is very, very hard. You would not believe 863 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: how many conversations I have with all these young kids 864 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: that work for me about saving their money and being 865 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: responsible and uh and understanding that money equals freedom in 866 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: their life and you gotta take advantage of the opportunities. Um. 867 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,800 Speaker 1: That comes your way and not spend recklessly. So anyway, 868 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 1: well listen, well know, So basically what this boiled down 869 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: to is that um I was working mostly local jobs here, 870 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 1: but too because of his possible I work in the 871 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: oil and gas industry, so so you can do the 872 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 1: math instead of something. To be able to do a 873 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 1: lot of work around here, I had to go on 874 00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 1: the road and start finding work because everyone was holding 875 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 1: on their money on which way the penlum was gonna 876 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 1: swing with regard to his energy policy. And we've seen 877 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 1: which way they wit. So I had to stay on 878 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 1: the road about the last six seven eight years. Listen. 879 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,239 Speaker 1: That makes it really hard. I'm not disagreeing at all. 880 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: And but here's the good news. Because of the way 881 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: the country voted, it would have been very different of 882 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 1: Hillary one. I'm pretty confident that energy independence is a 883 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: big part of the Trump agenda. I think a lot 884 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,239 Speaker 1: of this can be done by removing executive orders in 885 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,320 Speaker 1: terms of fracking and in terms of coal mining, in 886 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 1: terms of drilling, and I think if we make a 887 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 1: commitment whether or not the saudiast try to try to 888 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: bid down the price of a barrel of oil to 889 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,640 Speaker 1: drive us out of business. If we're still committed to 890 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 1: energy independence. Ultimately, this is gonna be a win win 891 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 1: where millions of Americans like yourself, you know, it's a 892 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 1: lifelot of our economy. You're gonna be producing more oil, 893 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: more energy than we've ever produced in our entire lives, 894 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: and we'll probably have more natural gas available for our 895 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 1: Western European ally is him more. So just hang in there. 896 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 1: It help is on the way. And I admire the 897 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: fact that, Okay, opportunities went away for you in Houston, 898 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,239 Speaker 1: but that didn't stop you. It made life harder, it 899 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: made life more difficult, but you didn't wine and and 900 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: moan and complain, and you got out there and you 901 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: found work wherever it was. I admire your your stick 902 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,399 Speaker 1: tutive nous. I admire your strength. I admire your your 903 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 1: ability to survive. This is This world is hard. This 904 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: world is tough. This world will knock you down to 905 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,800 Speaker 1: the ground. And as Rocky said to his son and Balboa, 906 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: it's not how hard you get hit, it's how you 907 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 1: get hit and you move forward. This is not an 908 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 1: easy thing life. My belief is that it's not how 909 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: it's life. Life people. Life is easy. People make it hard. 910 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,439 Speaker 1: It's not I disagree. I actually think life is hard. 911 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: I think life is hard. I don't think life is easy. 912 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 1: I think life is difficult. If you ever read the 913 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,760 Speaker 1: book The Road Less Travel, it starts out with that line, 914 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 1: life is diff of cold. Once you recognize that truth, 915 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,240 Speaker 1: it does make it easier because you're not expecting everything 916 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 1: to get handed to you. You know, maybe you're absolutely right. 917 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: But by that same talking, like I said, I just 918 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: I believe this leads me into my reason why I 919 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:18,399 Speaker 1: called concerning a Senator Sessions, Um, Senator Sessions, I don't 920 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 1: believe he's racist. And the reason I don't believe he's 921 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: racist is simplest. He believes in the rule of law, 922 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: as we all should as Americans. And I say that 923 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: because if you were if I cannot sit up here 924 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: and say, well, you know what, I know, I was 925 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:39,280 Speaker 1: going thirty five and a thirty miles Uh, Mr officers, 926 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: but guess what, I'm late for work, So that should 927 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 1: be an excuse for you to go ahead and not 928 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 1: give me a ticket. I can't say that because it's 929 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 1: I broke the law. So for you to say as 930 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: an example for the immigration is what they were talking 931 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:56,839 Speaker 1: about with regardless. Senator Sessions that, um, he would want 932 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 1: to deport all of these people, and he would want 933 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: to uh stop all of their services and such. Well, 934 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 1: the whole thing is this, It's not a problem for 935 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 1: you being here. It's a problem for the way you 936 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 1: came in. You broke the law. If I were I 937 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 1: could not go into Spain and just sneak in and 938 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 1: stay there and they not have an issue with me 939 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 1: being there. The same thing with Germany, the same and 940 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,880 Speaker 1: and and the same thing with our Mexican government, our 941 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 1: Mexican neighbors, same thing with Canada. It is interesting why 942 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 1: to let you go because they got a lot of 943 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: people waiting on the line here. But you know all 944 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: this talk, Well, Donald Trump asked for appropriations to build 945 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,959 Speaker 1: the wall. Last night on TV, I played the cut 946 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 1: where I asked one of the many times I would 947 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: ask Donald Trump sort of the Trump town Hall archives 948 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 1: of the Sean Hannity Show, and I said, well, you know, 949 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 1: they're not gonna write you a check, and he said, yeah, 950 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,959 Speaker 1: I know that. But when we negotiate new trade deals 951 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: and we do a B and C, they're gonna more 952 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: than pay for that wall, because we have much better 953 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,799 Speaker 1: deals anyway. Now, Mexican's government announced today that they want 954 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,800 Speaker 1: to be again negotiations with Trump as soon as possible 955 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,359 Speaker 1: on trade, immigration, and the construction of Trump's border wall 956 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 1: and the thuds you've probably heard his poor vicecent A 957 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,439 Speaker 1: Fox killing over over the holidays, that we're not paying 958 00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,080 Speaker 1: for that blanking wall. Anyway. Mexico's new form Relations secretary 959 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 1: said that his country isn't just willing to negotiate changes 960 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 1: to NAFTA, it wants to start talks as soon as possible, 961 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 1: and he said there's an enormous uncertainty. What's happening is 962 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump by telling the business community that he is 963 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 1: going to create a better business environment, as resulting in 964 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 1: all of these companies now willing to stay here. Anyway. 965 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: I digress, Uh, back to our busy telephones. Louis the Liberal, 966 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,760 Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend.

I know that, but you know 978 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,799 Speaker 1: who does. Our children do, unfortunately, and they're the ones 979 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,200 Speaker 1: that are most impressionable. They're the ones that are picking 980 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:32,280 Speaker 1: up on all this racism and this anti Trump stuff, 981 00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,280 Speaker 1: and they're the future of our of our of our country. 982 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 1: And I just I find this extremely appalling that this man, um, 983 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 1: what's his name, Ariy Madison could actually put out a 984 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 1: tweet with the picture of Mr Jeff Session sitting there 985 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 1: with his innocent, beautiful grand baby, regardless of what her races, 986 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,359 Speaker 1: and to call her a prop in his second post, 987 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 1: first he said return out the toys, raz but then 988 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,200 Speaker 1: he called her a prop that he was you think, 989 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean, can you only only a liberal can do this? 990 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 1: If we us conservatives, we would never say something like that. 991 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 1: We would never be allowed to say. You know, and 992 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 1: it's funny when you say this, because liberals have this 993 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,880 Speaker 1: so called monopoly on compassion um. If if Jeff Sessions 994 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: had ever said it, I mean, it would be remarkable 995 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 1: the amount of coverage that would have. But this happens 996 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 1: all the time. Just just think back Joe Biden.

I mean, it's a story articulate, bright, clean, 1000 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 1: nice looking guy. This is like a storybook fantasy. Wow. 1001 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: Is that not racist? I mean, it's it's just I 1002 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 1: can't imagine a Republican saying that ever and getting away 1003 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 1: with it. And this is the party the claims that 1004 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 1: that the masses love them, that they are the Party 1005 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: of compassion, and Conservatives are racist and sexist and homophobic, 1006 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 1: islamophobic and xenophobic. It's all not true. It's a myth, 1007 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 1: it's a lie. It's a talking point that's used every 1008 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 1: election year. Anyway, John and upstate New York, John High, 1009 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 1: How are you glad you called? Hey, Sean, Thanks for 1010 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 1: taking my call. How are you doing today? I'm good? 1011 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 1: How are you? I'm great? Thanks? Hey, Sean. I enjoyed 1012 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 1: hearing you debate Chris Han yesterday. Actually, I've enjoyed seeing 1013 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: him over the years on Fox as I went to 1014 00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: college with Chris and debated him quite extensively in Professor 1015 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 1: Goldstein's class. So we had a couple of political science 1016 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 1: classes together in Albany. And it's interesting to me that 1017 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: all these years later, over twenty five years later, he's 1018 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 1: still just as misguided as he was then, even if 1019 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: he is still just as passionate. But it's unbelievable to 1020 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 1: me that he hasn't learned anything. Well, you know, you're 1021 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,280 Speaker 1: just some people that are just so ideological and political. 1022 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: You know, I don't have a problem admitting that Republicans 1023 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 1: are weak, Republicans are feckless, Republicans have been visionist, Republicans 1024 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: are lost, Republicans have disappointed. Um so many people that 1025 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,400 Speaker 1: Republicans have lost their way. Um. My hope for Donald 1026 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: Trump is, I know he's going up against not only 1027 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 1: a democratic and media establishment, but also a Republican establishment 1028 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 1: that is gonna They're gonna coward, they're gonna buckle, they're 1029 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 1: gonna want to and it's gonna be Trump that holds 1030 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 1: them up. I hope when you don't vote, you let 1031 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: another church explode. When you don't vote, you allow another 1032 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 1: cross to burn. When you don't vote, you let another 1033 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 1: assault wound a brother or sister. When you don't vote, 1034 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 1: you let the Republicans continue to cut school launches and 1035 00:58:52,200 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 1: hit start. The first sort of man Americans who is 1036 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 1: artiiculate and right in and clean bice looking guy. I 1037 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 1: don't feel no ways tired. I come too far from 1038 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 1: where I started from. Nobody told me that the road 1039 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,560 Speaker 1: would be easy. You cannot go to a seven eleven 1040 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,360 Speaker 1: or Duncan Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. 1041 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm not chuckle. I'm actually hold not to remember the 1042 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,200 Speaker 1: good old days, and they weren't all that good in 1043 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 1: many ways. That message where y'all give you America great 1044 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 1: again is if you're a white Southern you know exactly 1045 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:46,919 Speaker 1: what it means, don't you. He's speaking to a population 1046 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: of this segment of the population who does not like 1047 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 1: to see people other than a white man in a 1048 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 1: white house, in any other elected position. I don't know 1049 00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:59,480 Speaker 1: how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican. Okay, 1050 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: going need to say Moromney wants to let the he 1051 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,960 Speaker 1: said in the first hundred days, he's gonna let the 1052 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 1: big banks once again write their own rules. Unchained Wall Street. 1053 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 1: You're gonna put you all back in cheese. Don't tell 1054 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 1: me we live in a color bland society. The Republicans 1055 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 1: know that there is the wrong agenda for African Americans. 1056 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 1: That's why they don't even want to count you in 1057 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:32,000 Speaker 1: the census. They're doing everything they can to stop black people, Latinos, 1058 01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 1: poor people, young people, people with disabilities from voting. It's 1059 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: a blast from the Jim pro past. I thought we 1060 01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: had won that battle back in the nineteen sixties. No, 1061 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 1: I think that they played the race card on me, 1062 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,240 Speaker 1: and we now know from memos from the campaign and 1063 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 1: everything that they planned to do it all along intens 1064 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,360 Speaker 1: My father was cute. He was beaten, chained and stained 1065 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: clean mouth Tuesday, all because he was black. So when 1066 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 1: Governor George W. Bush refused to support hate crimes legislation, 1067 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,360 Speaker 1: it was like my father was killed all over again. 1068 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,439 Speaker 1: Called George W. Bush and tell him to support hate 1069 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: crimes legislation. We won't be dragged away from my future. 1070 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 1: Why am I being taken out of here? This man 1071 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:29,600 Speaker 1: is evil. You're evil, do not over good? Don't the way? 1072 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being him bole We what 1073 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,400 Speaker 1: do we have to do? Wait, but you get arrested 1074 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 1: on work. White people don't get arrested. Look a minute, 1075 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: what will one day imbody as attorney general? I just 1076 01:01:51,960 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: wanted to sit. They were still listening. I think they're 1077 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 1: on the fence about get MO, but I'm not sure. 1078 01:02:38,400 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 1: Does not feel good? You're familiar with Canada? Um, we 1079 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:28,800 Speaker 1: are all right, News round up and information overload. Our 1080 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 1: here on the Sean Hannity Show, will get to your 1081 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,400 Speaker 1: calls at the bottom of this hour one, Shawn. Those 1082 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 1: were at the end some of the sounds of what 1083 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 1: happened at the Jeff Sessions confirmation hearings from earlier today 1084 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 1: and leading up to that, a history that has become 1085 01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:49,000 Speaker 1: all too familiar, and that is a Democratic Party that 1086 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 1: is void of ideas, consistently constantly reflexively almost hypnotically with 1087 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 1: their bumper stickers, slogans, and their mean spirited attacks that 1088 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,919 Speaker 1: Republicans and Conservatives are racist? Do you like Republicans? Black 1089 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 1: churches are going to burn the Democratic Party and Missouri 1090 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,400 Speaker 1: said in a radio ad in night, They're gonna put 1091 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: all back in change. Joe changed. Joe Biden said, Republicans 1092 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,680 Speaker 1: have the wrong agenda for African Americans. They don't even 1093 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:25,040 Speaker 1: want to count you in the census. A blast from 1094 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,280 Speaker 1: the Jim Crow past James Bird. It's like my father 1095 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:32,000 Speaker 1: was killed all over again because George Bush didn't support 1096 01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 1: hate crimes legislation, but he did support the death penalty 1097 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:40,479 Speaker 1: for the people responsible for the evil, horrific dragging death 1098 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,680 Speaker 1: of this this man, James Bird. Um. It is typical, 1099 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:49,160 Speaker 1: it is predictable, it is repugnant, and it's on display 1100 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 1: for all the world to see. Pastor Daryl Scott, founder 1101 01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 1: and Senior Pastor of the New Spirit Revival Center. Pastor 1102 01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,920 Speaker 1: Charles Christian Adams or the Reverend Charles Christian Adams, presid 1103 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: dating Pastor of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, 1104 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,840 Speaker 1: welcome both of you to the program. Mom. Pastor, I'll 1105 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 1: ask you Adams, do you do you find any of 1106 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 1: what you just heard repugnant and untrue? I mean, I assume, 1107 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,160 Speaker 1: as a pastor, you believe the truth shall set us free, 1108 01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,240 Speaker 1: right absolutely, and the truth is that, and the truth 1109 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:24,200 Speaker 1: is is that Republicans are not racist. Isn't that absolutely? 1110 01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that they are fundamentally racist. No, I 1111 01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 1: know many African American Republicans. So when the when the 1112 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 1: Democratic Party says, if you like Republicans, black churches are 1113 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,200 Speaker 1: gonna burn, or Joe Biden says they're gonna put you 1114 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,480 Speaker 1: all back in chains, and when Al Gore says they 1115 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,800 Speaker 1: don't want to count you in the census, and Hillary 1116 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Clinton says, this is a blast from the Jim Crow past, 1117 01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 1: and they're trying to compare Jeff Sessions, who actually put 1118 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,800 Speaker 1: clan members in jail as a klansman. It's it's evil, 1119 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 1: isn't that. Isn't that one of the big ten that 1120 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 1: will shall not bear false witness? Isn't that one of 1121 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 1: the big ten? The important thing is to remember the 1122 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:03,640 Speaker 1: context and these comments were made, and as they relate 1123 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 1: to uh Jeff Sessions, it's simply his past that they are. Well, specifically, 1124 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 1: you have to if you're going to make that accusation 1125 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:17,520 Speaker 1: specifically some of some of the mistakes that he has made, 1126 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:21,000 Speaker 1: Well tell me what the mistakes are, because can you 1127 01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,400 Speaker 1: please tell me specifically? What what what are you talking about? Well, 1128 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm talking about in UH nine when he tried to 1129 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:34,800 Speaker 1: prosecute the voter fraud case in Alabama, in which it 1130 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,600 Speaker 1: was not successful, but he still sticks by it. He 1131 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 1: says that you know, he prosecuted today just like he 1132 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 1: prosecuted it then. So somehow even though he put clan 1133 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 1: members in jail, fought on multiple occasions, multiple occasions for 1134 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 1: civil rights and voting rights and voted you know, in 1135 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,640 Speaker 1: all these instances, I mean, I have a whole list 1136 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 1: of him here delivering for all the people in this country. 1137 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 1: African America is included. So even though he tried to 1138 01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:05,560 Speaker 1: fight for voting rights for all, you somehow hold it 1139 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 1: against him that he didn't win a case, but he 1140 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 1: targeted specifically the African Americans and their behavior around the purpose. 1141 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,480 Speaker 1: Just the opposite is true. If nobody else though, then 1142 01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: and that's what the concern is as far his his 1143 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:26,160 Speaker 1: application of the law. I'm trying to understand your logic here, 1144 01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 1: because you know, he was the top civil rights enforcement case. 1145 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,720 Speaker 1: He was the one that in one worked with the 1146 01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,439 Speaker 1: Department of Justice, the FBI and to solve the murder 1147 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,280 Speaker 1: of a nineteen year old African American Michael Donald and 1148 01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:44,320 Speaker 1: his U S. Attorney's office prosecutor Tiger Knowles as an accomplice, 1149 01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,120 Speaker 1: and he is spending the rest of his life in prison. 1150 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 1: And he shifted the case of the KKK murder Henry 1151 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 1: Hayes to a state court where he got the death penalty. 1152 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 1: And it's the same Jeff Sessions who successfully prosecuted the 1153 01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 1: Alabama Ku Klux Klan Great Titan Jacks. And it was 1154 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,439 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions that brought the first lawsuit in the history 1155 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice to stop the suppression of 1156 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 1: African American voting rights in the US versus Connage County. 1157 01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 1: The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, along with Sessions 1158 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,440 Speaker 1: sued that county and white officials and by the way 1159 01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,519 Speaker 1: they had to settle, and by the way he won. 1160 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 1: So I ask you, Pastor Darryl Scott, listen, this race 1161 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,439 Speaker 1: card is being played out. It's being overused to the 1162 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 1: point that all of America is sick of it. And 1163 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,479 Speaker 1: they have a number of allegations without any real proof 1164 01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,960 Speaker 1: and willing will know truth to Democrats are the ones 1165 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:37,759 Speaker 1: that demonstrated straight racism. The Curtains privatized prisons that enabled 1166 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 1: harshest then they enabled harshest sentences to bring black folks 1167 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,680 Speaker 1: to heal in prison after they privatize them. You know 1168 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is the Republican Party has being profiled 1169 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,720 Speaker 1: by the party that claims to embrace diversity and to 1170 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 1: be against profile. They ever trying to profile all Republicans 1171 01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 1: as a racist. But when you go down and begin 1172 01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:03,320 Speaker 1: want again to examine Jeff Sessions passed. He voted for 1173 01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 1: the extension of the Civil Rights Act. He voted to 1174 01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,560 Speaker 1: confirm Eric Holders, the first black attorney General. He co 1175 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 1: sponsored legislation to bring possession for crack cocaine more in 1176 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,959 Speaker 1: line with the punalty for a possession of powder cocaine. 1177 01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,360 Speaker 1: He spearheaded up as to a roll award Rolls of 1178 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,760 Speaker 1: Parts to Alabama. She was an Alabama native. He wanted 1179 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,599 Speaker 1: her to get the Congressional Gold Medal. Even campaigned against 1180 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,599 Speaker 1: George Wallace, the face of racism for the Democratic Party 1181 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 1: in Alabama when he was younger. Now, from what I understand, 1182 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 1: then these guys must be skizoid racist or something, because 1183 01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, one minute you guys claimed they're racist, and 1184 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,760 Speaker 1: then on another minute we see all of these instances 1185 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 1: where they champion the campaign for civil rights. You either 1186 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,600 Speaker 1: racists or you are either he is or is, and 1187 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 1: if he is, then he would demonstrate all of the 1188 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 1: UH symptoms of racism, when in fact he does it. 1189 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 1: It seems as if the Democrats, as all the Democrats have, 1190 01:09:55,439 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 1: they don't have anything tangible or substantive to deny these appintments, 1191 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: to deny these votes. So the simple to say, don't 1192 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 1: vote for him, don't take him, don't do anything. Why 1193 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 1: because he's a racist? What is your reaction? You have 1194 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,400 Speaker 1: a lot of examples. I don't think Jeff Sessions is 1195 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 1: a friend of Eric Holder, and I think he voted 1196 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 1: for him, whether he voted for Blair hated black people 1197 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:24,280 Speaker 1: did when we not vote for a black person. But 1198 01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:30,720 Speaker 1: Congress has stood as an obstructionist to Barack Obama's policies, 1199 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: and they stood within uh airic Holder's term as a 1200 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 1: constant UH threat to what they were trying to accomplish. 1201 01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:46,480 Speaker 1: Is the Congressional Black Congress. Is that a racist organization? 1202 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 1: Because Congressional Black Caucus do not in an office one 1203 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,599 Speaker 1: day and they've already pledged to oppose whatever he tried 1204 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,120 Speaker 1: to do. Now they're doing that because he's white. Yeah, 1205 01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 1: but you know what you said, I and what will 1206 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 1: you say, you're saying they have not fled to obstruct 1207 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:12,800 Speaker 1: with the same vigor President elect Trump as UH Congress 1208 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 1: obstructive President Barack Obama. It was unprecedented the level of 1209 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 1: obstruction that we saw under President Barack Obama. It was 1210 01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:25,920 Speaker 1: all right, let me, let me ask this question. I 1211 01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 1: want to ask these important questions for racial reasons. That's racist. 1212 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:35,360 Speaker 1: Can you name any any statistic, pastor Adams, any one thing, 1213 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 1: any one economic telltale sign that shows that in the 1214 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 1: eight years Obama has been president, that black Americans are 1215 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,640 Speaker 1: better off because we have millions of more Black Americans, 1216 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,640 Speaker 1: increase of Black Americans out of the labor force, We 1217 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,320 Speaker 1: have a massive increase of Black Americans on food stamps 1218 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,599 Speaker 1: and in poverty. Tell me where Barack Obama's agendas helped 1219 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,920 Speaker 1: Black America. Well, you know I've said it before that 1220 01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,679 Speaker 1: the property give me a specific, give me one specific, 1221 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: give me one specific measure where Black Americans are better off. 1222 01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 1: Obama has been president eight years. I'm going to tell 1223 01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:09,720 Speaker 1: you the poverty rate under President Barack Obama was continued 1224 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,800 Speaker 1: to shrink. No, do we have eight million more excuse me, sir, 1225 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,679 Speaker 1: we have eight million more Americans on poverty since Obama 1226 01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:17,960 Speaker 1: has been elected. Yes, but we were it was growing 1227 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:23,840 Speaker 1: at a higher rate under so that's not true. So 1228 01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:26,920 Speaker 1: eight million more Americans and poverty is a success for you. 1229 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 1: Thirteen million more Americans on food stamps is a success 1230 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,800 Speaker 1: for you. The lowest labor participation rate Americans out of 1231 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,479 Speaker 1: the labor force is successful to you. But the question 1232 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,440 Speaker 1: is what was it before Barack Obama was elected. I'm 1233 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm giving you the numbers. Since I'm giving you the 1234 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,800 Speaker 1: numbers since Obama has been in office, he accumulated more 1235 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:48,760 Speaker 1: debt than all forty three presidents combined. That success to you, Well, 1236 01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: he had to reinvest in the infrastructure of the United States. 1237 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,920 Speaker 1: I mean with took money. It took money to stem 1238 01:12:56,240 --> 01:13:01,600 Speaker 1: the tide of the of the political I mean that 1239 01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:07,120 Speaker 1: the economic downturn that we had taken under Bush. But no, no, no, no, 1240 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,360 Speaker 1: the downturn that was taken under Bush was simply the 1241 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,200 Speaker 1: house of guards that collapsed. That was built by the Clintons. 1242 01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 1: The Clintons were in control when the banks were deregulating, 1243 01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:18,400 Speaker 1: and stop privately was in that. It was the house 1244 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 1: of cards built under under Clinton that collapsed. On the 1245 01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 1: bus all right, I gotta leave it there. Thank you 1246 01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 1: both for being with us. When we come back.

So Putin has been on 1287 01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,280 Speaker 1: my radar since back in two thousand when he took power, 1288 01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:33,880 Speaker 1: and then you know, we've watched him sort of the 1289 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,040 Speaker 1: imaginations of how he's continued to keep this power. And 1290 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,240 Speaker 1: now the whole media is, oh, you know, he's this, 1291 01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,280 Speaker 1: this is something that he everyone's been colluding, which the 1292 01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:45,680 Speaker 1: Trump Chris campus colluded to get him into power, and 1293 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:47,800 Speaker 1: they're best friends, and all he can do is to 1294 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,920 Speaker 1: flatter him.

Trump knows his number. He wants to 1297 01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,920 Speaker 1: have an advantageous relationship with somebody. He doesn't want to 1298 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:04,600 Speaker 1: create another Cold War. But he's not stupid. You know 1299 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,120 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Listen, I think the world will respect 1300 01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:11,880 Speaker 1: him more, and the world fearing and respecting America is 1301 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:16,080 Speaker 1: better for the world because that that means, Look, there's 1302 01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 1: this Fear is a great motivator in life.

Right, Well, I mean, and the 1319 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 1: thing about the thing about Trump is that he has 1320 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,320 Speaker 1: the ability to win a verbal fight here. You know, 1321 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,600 Speaker 1: he knows looking into the future that this is not 1322 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,040 Speaker 1: it is not in East West world anymore. We are 1323 01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,439 Speaker 1: a North South world. We need to be able to 1324 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 1: have advantageous relationships. It is like you were saying, it's 1325 01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 1: back from the world to be able to continue to 1326 01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,880 Speaker 1: pick fights with Russia. We don't want to do that. 1327 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,400 Speaker 1: And I just have to say I'm so proud of 1328 01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 1: you you. I know you say you're not a journalist, 1329 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, but you are a journalist of the 1330 01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:48,080 Speaker 1: A plus category. You went twenty two hours back and 1331 01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,840 Speaker 1: scores on this plane. You interviewed the source of what 1332 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,240 Speaker 1: has been going on for the past three weeks as 1333 01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 1: one of the biggest media farcities about this whole stupid 1334 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,360 Speaker 1: thing with the Russia. You had every question, point blank, 1335 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,840 Speaker 1: third completely, and yet people are still trying to pull 1336 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 1: that interview apart. You know that it's it's hilarious to me. 1337 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,640 Speaker 1: And then I'm also informing everybody of every government agencies 1338 01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:11,799 Speaker 1: but that it has been hacked. And then I'm pointing 1339 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,240 Speaker 1: out that in the Podesta case, it's because he felt 1340 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 1: for a stupid fishing scam. It's not because we were 1341 01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 1: hacked anyway. And the fact that Wiki Leaks released it 1342 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 1: is there stupid fault.

But let me tell you 1438 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,960 Speaker 1: about I heard that Joe Scarborough had made some comments 1439 01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:00,600 Speaker 1: about you and this interview and this supposed to be 1440 01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:04,120 Speaker 1: some special love affair that you've got going on.

He should say what he means, 1445 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,479 Speaker 1: means what he says. But here is the part that's 1446 01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 1: really important.

He 1452 01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:51,760 Speaker 1: is the poster child of what it is to be 1453 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 1: an establishment person. He can't be Look, if he's proud 1454 01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,679 Speaker 1: to work at MSNBC, then why is he always begging 1455 01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 1: for jobs elsewhere?
