1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: This is the Sean Hannity Show podcast. I'm not sure

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna talk about, slow news day, anything happening

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: out there, Lynna, anything news worthy, anything worth talking about. Anyway,

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: Glad you with us Sean Hannity Show. Right down our

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number. We'd love to hear from you today,

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine four one. Sean, you want to be

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: a part of the program. Let me start because I am.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm taking this seriously because I know a lot of

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: you today are disappointed. I know a lot of you

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: are upset. I know a lot of you are angry.

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you feel frustrated. I get it.

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: I pay very close attention to what my audience says,

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: and I want to address this head on. I want

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: to start in Indiana. You know um I and I've

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: got to say, the amount of effort that people have

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: put into their decision to choose a candidate is beyond admirable.

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't question anybody's motives here. You know, I have friends,

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: we have listeners to this program that supported any one

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: of the seventeen original candidates. I understand firsthand because I

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: hear from people every single solitary day, how you feel

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: about things that I I take it all to heart.

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: I understand how strongly many of you supported Ted Cruz,

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: who got out of the race. Last night, I'm watching

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: what some people are saying that up this is the

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: end of the Republican Party. O. They're saying they're not

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna vote for Trump. Uh, the never Trump people, They're

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: gonna stay home. Others pledging to vote for Hillary. I

28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: am extraordinarily appreciative and sympathetic to how you're feeling, and

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: appreciative of the amount of effort that you have put

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: in two picking candidates. Some of you have literally you know,

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: when your candidate lost or got out of the race,

32
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: you would switch to another candidate. That candidate loses, you

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: go to another candidate. And it's it's the fact that

34
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: you're so involved and care so much about the direction

35
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: of the country is what we probably all agree on,

36
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: even regardless of which of the seventeen people maybe originally

37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: you were supporting. Now I have watched up front and

38
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: close and personal what it takes to run for president.

39
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: I have beyond um. I just respect, a deep, abiding

40
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: respect for what it takes for somebody to put their

41
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: hat in a ring to vote. In the case of

42
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Senator Cruise, over a year of his life. It takes courage,

43
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: It takes commitment. It is a blood sport. It is

44
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: an ugly, ugly profession. By every stretch. Ted Cruz ran

45
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: as hard, He ran as tough a campaign as any

46
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: candidate I have ever witnessed. And the end he was

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: taking risks. I love risk taking. He played the ground

48
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: game better than anybody else. He was thinking ahead and

49
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: he just did by the By the end of the day,

50
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: he concluded he couldn't get to where he wanted to

51
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: be and he fell short. That doesn't mean that Ted

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Cruz is out of the presidential race or presidential running

53
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: business forever. One of the things that's so impressive, I

54
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: can go back and make the case, I think a

55
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: compelling case for all seventeen of these guys from the

56
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: very beginning. Now, I want to take you back. If

57
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: you want to understand how did we get to this point,

58
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: How did Indiana? Why did Indiana vote the way they

59
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: did yesterday? If you want to understand this election, there's

60
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: only one way to do it, in my mind, is

61
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: you got to go back to day one. You gotta

62
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: go back to the conditions on the ground, people's perceptions.

63
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: How did this become a massive insurgency year. I've said

64
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: it many many times. We look the stage was set.

65
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: The two finalists in this election, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

66
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: You've got two very different people, both outsiders, both hated

67
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: by the establishment, and together they were able to blow

68
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: away really very solid, seasoned politicians. I think what was

69
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: the strongest Republican field in my lifetime and the largest,

70
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 1: and literally they crushed some wonderful people. I stand behind

71
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: a statement I've I've made many times on this program.

72
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: I think Rick Perry would have been a great president.

73
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Bobby Jendle is an intellectual rock star. Scott Walker has

74
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: done miracles in the state of Wisconsin. John Kasich, same story.

75
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: Nicki Haley didn't run, but same story with her. Then

76
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: you've got senators that have have done a fabulous job,

77
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: starting with tedor Senator Ted Cruz. The reason Ted Cruz

78
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: has done so well in this election as he had

79
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: the strength and courage and I said it many times

80
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: in interviews with him to stand when the rest of

81
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: those Republicans were too weak and timid to follow up

82
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: and take seriously the promises they made. To you, the

83
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: American people. But the question here is how did how

84
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: did a guy that has zero political experience like Donald

85
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: Trump defy all conventional political gravity and beat sixteen of

86
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: the best Republicans in the country. How did that happen?

87
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: What happened here? What's what's been going on here? Now?

88
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm reading some comments that are rather shallow and uh interesting,

89
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: But you know, some blaming talk radio, some blaming Fox News.

90
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: By the way, I wish I had the power some

91
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: of you think that I had, because if that was

92
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: the case, I promise you Barack Husayin Obama would never

93
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: have been elected the president of the United States. I

94
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: wish I had that much influence. I don't, and by

95
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: the way, neither does anybody else. And frankly, that analysis

96
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: is so shallow and frankly predicated on a a belief system,

97
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: a premise that people are stupid, that the people of

98
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: Indiana must have been stupid, that they were bamboozled, that

99
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, they have no clue what they're doing, they

100
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: have no idea what they're voting for. I'm not buying

101
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: that for a second. I don't believe that for one minute.

102
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: This is and has been a voter rebellion, probably unlike

103
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: any we will ever see in politics again in our lifetime,

104
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: and I really believe that. In other words, do you

105
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: really think the people that were in Indiana yesterday again

106
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: another record state record numbers voting for Donald Trump? Do

107
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: you think they had no clue about Donald Trump's you know,

108
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: many controversial statements or flaws if you want to call

109
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: him flaws, or that he was unconventional. Do you think

110
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: they didn't know that? Do you really believe they didn't

111
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: see these things? You really believe they didn't see his mistakes?

112
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: You know, all of these things were talked about in

113
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: in in detail minutia on a regular basis throughout the

114
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: whole campaign. So the voters, let's just stick with Indiana

115
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: for a second, but it was other states as well.

116
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: But the voters still chose him. And we've got to

117
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: ask a question that very few analysts, media types are asked,

118
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: because they've been wrong from the beginning on all of this.

119
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Why Why did the voters choose him? There's gotta be

120
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: a reason. Well, it's the media's fault. No, it's not

121
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: the media's fault. The media, if anything, they didn't want

122
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: Cruise or Trump the establishment didn't want Cruise or Trump. Now,

123
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: I contend that the voters of Indiana knew exactly what

124
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: was at stake last night. They knew it was do

125
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: or die for Senator Ted Cruz. They knew that they

126
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: had more influence in deciding whether this was gonna be

127
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: a contested convention or Republicans in Indiana allowing Trump to

128
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: go forward, probably with the nomination. So the question is, well,

129
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: why did they vote that way? Well, I'm gonna try

130
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: and answer that question because I have a theory. I

131
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: have said from the very beginning, if you look it,

132
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: the Trump phenomenon, an outsider, no experience, a businessman, et cetera,

133
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: he is a direct result of what I would describe

134
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: as the institutional failure of Republican and democratic governance, especially

135
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: Obama's governance, if you even want to call it that.

136
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: All the things that I have laid out for the

137
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: Republican Party as of late, I suggested Republicans run on ideas,

138
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: run on a vision. I suggested that they secure the

139
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: borders first. I suggested that they adopt the Penny Plan

140
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: and challenge Obama's reckless spending and and building up of

141
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: our nation's debt. I suggested that they advance and help

142
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: people understand what health care savings are about. I suggested

143
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: that they used the power of the purse. I suggested

144
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: at the time that they also stick with their promises,

145
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: which was at least the fund parts of Obamacare. They resisted.

146
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: They resisted every step of the way. And as a

147
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: matter of fact, they Republicans facilitated the Democrats and especially

148
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: the Obama agenda because they were too timid, and too

149
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: weak and too afraid, and they were they were so

150
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: paranoid they would be blamed for a government shutdown. That

151
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: essentially they conceded every single solitary step of the way.

152
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: More recently, they took a stand against the president's Supreme

153
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: Court nomination. I'm shocked they haven't caved on that yet.

154
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they won't. So they've lacked an agenda

155
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: for a long time. They've shown nothing but weakness. They've

156
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: allowed Obama's entire radical agenda to be passed. They cared

157
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: about their own power. That's why they wouldn't shut the

158
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: government down. That's why they wouldn't use the power of

159
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: the purse. That's I think the final the straw that

160
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: broke the camel's back was the promise on executive amness.

161
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: D I think that was the straw that broke the

162
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: camel's back. What have I said every day that this

163
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: election is going to be about. We now know that

164
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: of American families do not have a single member of

165
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: that family in the workforce, not one. How many times

166
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: have you heard me say ninety five million Americans are

167
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: out of the labor force. That is a forty five

168
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: year high. It's ridiculous the amount of people that can't

169
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: find a job. How many times have I mentioned fifty

170
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: million Americans and poverty, forty six million Americans on food stamps.

171
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: And then when Republicans given the power of the purse,

172
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: what did they do with it? Nothing? They ended up

173
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: being complicit and racking up under John Bayner nearly five

174
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: trillion dollars in new debt. They didn't fight for fiscal austerity,

175
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: They didn't fight for balanced budgets. They didn't fight, you know,

176
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: Republicans didn't want the wall built. Every single exit poll

177
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: from every single state, including Indiana, last night, showed that

178
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: people care about jobs and the economy. They care about

179
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: trade deals that have hurt American manufacturing and taken away

180
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: American jobs. They care about illegal immigration that has allowed

181
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: what fourteen million people in the country, which who are

182
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: all competing for American jobs and driving down wages. And

183
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: the truth is Republicans, let's be honest here, they never

184
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: wanted a wall. You know why, because they cared too

185
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: much about appeasing their business buddies that donate to their campaigns,

186
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: that thrive on cheap labor. Democrats they just want a

187
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: long term demographic shift that's gonna keep them in power

188
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: for generations. Now, fundamentally, all of those millions of people

189
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: are fed up, they're disgusted collectively, they're angry, they're frustrated.

190
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: Rightly so with Washington d C. Every pole exit pole

191
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: showed between fifty five and six of Republicans feel betrayed

192
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: by d C. Republicans And to be honest, Americans, the

193
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: hard working American people have been screwed royally. And this

194
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: primary why you saw record numbers, why you saw an

195
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: outsider chosen, is because the only real interpretation that you

196
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: can get is people have had enough. You can add

197
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: to this the wars they we send the sons and

198
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: daughters of of children in Indiana to go fight and

199
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: bleed and die, only to have another war politicized, and

200
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: and then gains of Mosl and Ramadi and Felucia and

201
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to crete, and then we give it back to even

202
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: a worse enemy, just like Vietnam. Fifty eight thousand people.

203
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: How in God's name could we ever do this again?

204
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: You've got a you know, huge wealth, job creation markets

205
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: sitting there. It's called energy. Hillary wants to put the

206
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: cold business out of out of business. She doesn't allow fracking.

207
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: We can't drill anywhere. You know how many millions of

208
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: jobs could be created as America became energy independent. We

209
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: don't do it, you know, shut down because of government

210
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: bureaucrats and regulation. We have schools that just suck. We

211
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: play more, we pay more per capitive per student with

212
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: the worst results. A health care system destroyed, and a

213
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: Republican party that wouldn't use any political capital to stop it.

214
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: Inner cities destroyed. You know. Add to that a government

215
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: that gives a hundred and fifty billion dollars to the

216
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: number one state sponsor of terror. And I think what

217
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: happened here is simple. People have just said, with full

218
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: knowledge of who Donald Trump is, they said, screw it.

219
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: We'll take our chances with him with an our cider,

220
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: with a non politician, with a successful businessman. After what

221
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: do we got to lose? Even with his imperfections, people

222
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: chose him, and they chose him knowingly, and they chose

223
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: him in the biggest numbers we've ever seen in a

224
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: Republican primary. Now there's a reason for all of this.

225
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: And for those that say, oh, Trump's not a conservative,

226
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: Trump's not, well's I'm gonna go over the many interviews

227
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: that I've done with him, and I'll tell you what

228
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: his agenda is, what he's told me. Can I vouch

229
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: for his sincerity, No, but I can tell you what

230
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: he's promising versus what Hillary is promising. A couple of

231
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: bits of news here. Trump has tapped Ben Carson to

232
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: help with the VP search. Hillary Clinton gets what she

233
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: outspent Republican candidates, all of them to stop Trump. In

234
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: other words, they spent five point two million on ads

235
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: with anti Trump messages. Wow, already here we go, the

236
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: billy the trillion. They'll spend a billion dollars trying to

237
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,239
Speaker 1: with negative ads. None of them work so far. Judicial

238
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: watch me get the green light to grill Hillary before

239
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: the FBI. That's an interesting development and I think one

240
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: we ought to pay attention to because I think a

241
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: lot of people have been ignoring. It's Sanders supporters are

242
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: starting a movement to dump Hillary. That's interesting. Uh, You've

243
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: got a pro life group applauding Trump's new higher you

244
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: got Huckaby says he's all in to help beat Hillary.

245
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Scott Walker endorses Donald Trump, and Bobby Jindal has jumped

246
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: on board, joining us now with his unique analysis. You're

247
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: gonna be mad at me in a second, and I

248
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: don't really care because it's just the way our relationship works.

249
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: You get mad at me and I just keep going.

250
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: You want to do you want to know? Do you

251
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: want to know what it's about? Oh? I'm I'm reasonably

252
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: certain I can guess. But go ahead. So I put

253
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: your name on a pole at Hannity dot Com. I

254
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: put you Marco, Ben Carson, other, Ted Cruze, John Kasig,

255
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jendle, Rick Scott,

256
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: Rick Santourman, Rick Perry. In terms of who should be

257
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: Trump's VP, I want to take a guess who's winning? Um, So,

258
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: Scott Walker, Scott Walker has hang on, that would be

259
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: the wrong answer, not Scott Walker. Okay, why don't you

260
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: tell us? Uh new king Rich. This is a sign

261
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: that my sisters have been calling in and voting over

262
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: and over and over, but they didn't even know it

263
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: was up there. I just put I didn't even announce

264
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: it yet. So anyway, if anyone wants to vote, they can.

265
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's very flattering in a long way

266
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: from where we are right now, that's maybe very flattering.

267
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: You want to know why I actually liked the idea?

268
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: Can I tell you? And you're not getting other than

269
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: other than that we're very very close friends. It's not

270
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: that it's not has nothing to do with friendship, although

271
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: that would be maybe a small part of I can't

272
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: deny that. But there's two moments where conservatism advanced in

273
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: a great degree and was most successful, the Reagan in

274
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: our life, in my lifetime anyway, the Reagan presidency, and

275
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: when you became the Speaker of the House with a

276
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: contract with America and you ended welfare as we knew it,

277
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: the era big government ended. You gave us surpluses when

278
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: we had deficits. As far as the eye can see

279
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: when you first became Speaker, and I just think that

280
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: you know how to get the job done, and you

281
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: know how to fight, and I think you could do

282
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 1: the spine transplant that Republicans need. Well. I think Trump's

283
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: going to do a lot of the spine transplant him.

284
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm very impressed with the way he's handled this whole

285
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: thing so far. But but you raised a different question, though,

286
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: which is I've been thinking about this. Someone to write

287
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: about this in the near future, you know, I've been

288
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 1: thinking about I was very privileged as a very junior

289
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: congressman to be part of the Reagan take over, and

290
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: then obviously as Speaker of the House, I was given

291
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: the great opportunity by the American people to be part

292
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: of the takeover in And I've been thinking a lot

293
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: about we have this extraordinary opportunity which which nobody in

294
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: the elite media understands yet. But you could have a

295
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: Trump tidal wave by November that increases our our votes

296
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: in the Senate, increases our votes in the House, has

297
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: a president whose message has resonated and strengthens us at

298
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: the state legislature and governor's level. And the question then is,

299
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: given everything we learned of what is the maximum amount

300
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: of change you could get by Easter of two thousand seventeen,

301
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: and how would you go about doing it? Because when

302
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: I look back, Reagan accomplished a lot, the House Republicans

303
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: accomplished a lot, but we never really quite broke through.

304
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the bureaucracies in the Union and the lobbyists

305
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: all managed to slow everything down to a point where

306
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: we didn't quite get the scale of change we should

307
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: have in those two moments. And so I begun to

308
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: really think a lot about if we could win a great,

309
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: decisive victory in November, how do we maximize our impact

310
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: so that by Easter we really have put America on

311
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: the road to being great again. And we really have

312
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: put America in a road to creating jobs and helping

313
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: the poor and really creating a new era of optimism

314
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: and opportunity and positive thinking. You know, I've asked you

315
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: if the the statistics I give out are too insurmountable,

316
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: the debt, the deficits, the number of people out of

317
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: the labor force, in poverty, on food stamps, And you

318
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: always say no, And I sometimes it's the numbers to

319
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: me are so overwhelming. Sometimes I go through. I've ascalate

320
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: back and forth. Can this really happen? Can it really

321
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: be fixed? I don't really know the answer. I think

322
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: it can. Of course it can. When when we came in,

323
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: everybody thought you were gonna get deficits forever. It took

324
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: us four years to turn around. With John Kasi's leadership

325
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: at the Budget Committee uh by Jack Lou who is

326
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: now the Sector of the Treasury, was then Clinton's Director

327
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: of the Office of Management Budget and Lou in August

328
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: of nine holds the press conference and says, at the

329
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: rate we are currently going, we will pay off the

330
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: national debt by two thousand and nine. Now that that's

331
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: a fact, that's that's not a theory. We know how

332
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: to do this. With a leader like Trump, we can

333
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: actually get it done. If you take the amount he

334
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: saved on the woman skating rink, which he got done

335
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: in uh literally such a short period of time and

336
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: for so lo all money that if you took that

337
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: exact same formula and applied it to, for example, building

338
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: a high speed train from Washington to Boston, not under

339
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy programs, but under entrepreneurial programs, you could afford

340
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: to do things that that are unimaginable with the federal

341
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: bureaucracy because they make everything five times more expensive than

342
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: they should be. I talked a lot about how did

343
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: we get here? I think a big factor and Trump's

344
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: success has been the failure of Republicans and d C.

345
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: All these exit polls and all the states and territories

346
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: all say the same thing. Republicans feel betrayed by d

347
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: C Republicans. Do you think that's a big And Obama's

348
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: failure obviously is a part of it, but they didn't

349
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: stop the Obama agenda. Do you see it the same way? Yeah, Look,

350
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: there's no question that, Uh, you don't get an insurgent

351
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: like Trump unless you have people really angry. And you

352
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: don't have people really angry if they think their leadership

353
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: is effect So what you've had buildings starting in two

354
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: thousand and ten is a steady increase year after year,

355
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: this sense that Washington is totally out of control. I'm

356
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: working on a on a project to take back Washington, uh,

357
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: and looking at what would it really take, not not

358
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: just to win the presidency or to win the House

359
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: or Senate, because we're all sick and tired of being

360
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: promised things and having them that happened. But if you

361
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: really wanted the American people to run their national capital again,

362
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to bring under control the corrupt,

363
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: in some cases criminal bureaucracy at the Veterans Administration, if

364
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: you really want to bring under control the State Department,

365
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: which so often does not represent American interests. You know,

366
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: these are really big changes. And I think we need

367
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: to have a program for this fall of the size

368
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: of change. And then we need to remind everybody all

369
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: the stuff you're really sick of. Are the people who

370
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: support Hillary Clinton. There's an idea that I'm gonna I'm

371
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: stealing right out of your playbook that I think would

372
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: be wise for Trump to use, and Paul Ryan to use,

373
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: and every Senate candidate and every House member to use.

374
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: And that is because the trust level is so low.

375
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: If Republicans want to accomplish these things, they gotta get reelected.

376
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: You gotta have a Republican House, Senate and a Republican president.

377
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: But why not put those ideas down on paper? In

378
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: other words, promised to build the wall, promised to reform immigration,

379
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: that if the Director of National Intelligence, as isis, will

380
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: infiltrate the refugee population. You don't let him in until

381
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: it's safe. Repeal and replace Obamacare with health savings accounts

382
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: that you will negotiate better trade deals, pursue policy of

383
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: energy and dependence within four years, work towards a balanced budget.

384
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: How you gonna deal with isis, how you rebuild the military,

385
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: how you make a commitment to veterans. Undo the the

386
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: Iranian Deal? Why not put it down? Support the Second Amendment.

387
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: You know Trump is gonna name the justices of which

388
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: a pool of justices, which each is for the Supreme Court?

389
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: Do that? Why not do this ahead of time and

390
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: then check off the list? You did it, it worked,

391
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: Why not do it again? I would? I think I

392
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: would do it in two phases. I would do it first,

393
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: taking the kind of list you're describing, I would build

394
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: it into a platform that is really dynamic and really

395
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: exciting and really forward looking, and pass it in Cleveland.

396
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: And then I would take the ten biggest ideas, the

397
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: ones that moved the most votes, the ones that that

398
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: build the most momentum, and I would turn those ten

399
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: into a contract, and sometime in late September, I would

400
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: bring the entire Federal Party together, House, Senate, President and say, look,

401
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: this is what our first hundred days is going to

402
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: be like. And I think that would galvanize the country.

403
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: And if you do it right, you draw a stunning

404
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: contrast with Hillary. I mean, there's an article out today

405
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: about the UH Veteran the Federal Employees Union brow beating

406
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: the Senate into eliminate eeing all of the key reforms

407
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: in the New Veterans Administration Bill because the the government

408
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 1: bureaucratic Union is dedicated to protecting criminals and people who

409
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: are failing to do their job and people who are

410
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: failing to serve veterans, and they're clearly putting bad bureaucrats

411
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: above saving the lives of veterans. Now, that ought to

412
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: be an example where you you ought to be able

413
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: to draw a sharp line in the sand and say, look,

414
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: Republicans believe veterans are more important than bad bureaucrats, and

415
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: we think you ought to replace the bad bureaucrats to

416
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: make sure that the veterans are getting served. Let Hillary

417
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: side with the Government employee union on behalf literally in

418
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: the case of Puerto Rico, on behalf of criminals who

419
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: are being employed by the veterans administration. What do you

420
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: make how do you unite the party? You said to

421
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: me in a in a previous interview some weeks ago

422
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: that it's up to the nominee to do that. How

423
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: would you recommend Trump reach out to people that you know,

424
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: frankly it was extraordinarily tough with during the campaign. Well,

425
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: I hope, if not today, in the next day or two,

426
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna call and talk to Ted Cruz and have

427
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: a very positive conversation. And if John Casey drops out

428
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: as everyone expects him to this afternoon, I hope he'll

429
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: call John. I mean, I think you start with human

430
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: personal touches. Uh, there are one or two guys to

431
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: keep attacking him, and he probably should wait for a

432
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: while on them. But I would just get get the

433
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: list and call all of them, I mean, including Jeff

434
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: Bush and you know you name it. I mean, there

435
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: comes a moment when you got to say, this has

436
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: been a really tough fight, but now we've got to

437
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: put the country first, and I need your help to

438
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: put the country first. I think do you like the

439
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: idea of a team of rivals tapping into the I

440
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: think it was the strongest Republican field of candidates I've

441
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: seen in my lifetime. I think absolutely there are. Of course,

442
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: you're referring to the book about Abraham Let Yeah, and

443
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: and I think, um, you know, you look at that,

444
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: there's some first rate people who ran for president, who

445
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: who would do tremendous jobs. I mean Ben Carson obviously

446
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: at Health and Human Services. Um, I think you could

447
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: put Scott Walker almost anywhere in a major position and

448
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: he would do a superb job. He's just that good

449
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: a guy. I personally am gonna go out on a

450
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: limb here. I personally think that Ted Cruz would be

451
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: an extraordinary Supreme Court justice and would actually be the

452
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: right guy to replace uh antonin Scalia because he had

453
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: the way I said the same thing. I think. I

454
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: think that would be for the single greatest impact beyond

455
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: the presidency for generations that Senator Cruz can have. I

456
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: agree with Senator Cruz is so young that his potential

457
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: to serve for forty or more years, and then the

458
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: power of his intellect is so great, and he's such

459
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: a good constitutional scholar that I think he would be,

460
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: uh just an extraordinary example of what we're talking about.

461
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: And you you start down this kind of a list,

462
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: and you look at these guys. Frankly, I'm not sure

463
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 1: that they could get him to take it. But the

464
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: fact is that Jeb Bush would be a very good

465
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: secretary of State. Uh. He's a very sophisticated guy. He

466
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: would be accepted almost everywhere in the world. Uh. And

467
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 1: he's a very patient person. And that's a key. One

468
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: of the keys to being secretary of state is going

469
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: into rooms with people you don't like and being pleasant. Well,

470
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: they're miserable. I gotta I gotta run here. But would

471
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: you consider a position yourself? I think I think no

472
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: citizens can say in advance that they would refuse to

473
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: serve the president of States. And and that's just a

474
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: straight matter of patriotism. If I have to sum up

475
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: everything I was saying in the last hour, Republicans betrayed

476
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: their own base. Every single solitary exit poll prove that. Now,

477
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: what is the impact on conservatives them? Oh, conservative governors,

478
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 1: those that govern conservatively like Rick Perry and Bobby Jendall

479
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: and Rick Scott and Kasy and Walker and Haley and others,

480
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: they've done just fine. They had no problems. Nobody feels

481
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: betrayed in those states by their governors, things are actually

482
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: going swimming lee in spite of what's happening on you know,

483
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Obama's you know, just horrible. Republicans were elected to the

484
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: House and Senate to stop the Obama agenda. They ended

485
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: up facilitating the Obama agenda. And that's exactly where the

486
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: frustration has come in. Now Indiana, I contend to damn

487
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: well what they were doing yesterday and last night. People

488
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: of Indiana, like the rest of the country, are smart,

489
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: they're hard working. They have suffered greatly as a result

490
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: of horrible trade deals and carriers leaving and everything else

491
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: that they've been going through. They have suffered. I think

492
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: they watched like most people, this is the most watched

493
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: presidential election in my lifetime. That's it. So they knew

494
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 1: what what the what the consequences of their vote were

495
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: last night, but they went anyway. Trump got more than

496
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the votes cast, seventh state in a

497
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: row that he's now done. That he won by almost

498
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: seventeen percentage points. He likely I don't know what the

499
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: final count as he may carry all fifty seven delegates

500
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: available in the state. It was winner take most. He

501
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: won most, if not all demographic groups, income, ideological groups.

502
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: I think the only place that I saw that he

503
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: lost where people with postgraduate degrees and those that described

504
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: themselves as very conservative. Ted Cruz won that. I don't

505
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: think there's any doubt that having Bobby Knight's endorsement UH

506
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: was important, and Lou Holtz's endorsement was important. I don't

507
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: think the Crews Kasig Non Aggression Act worked. I think

508
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: it probably backfired. Carly Fiorina great woman, I think unfortunately

509
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: just I said it from day one, and I don't

510
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: think people vote for vice presidents, and Trump found a

511
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: way to appeal to more people than anybody else here.

512
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: I can't say enough good things about Ted Cruz. He

513
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: ran an incredibly impressive campaign. He articulated his solid conservative

514
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: constitutional beliefs. He was disciplined, he was a great debater.

515
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: He fought hard. You know, he's while he was never about.

516
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: He never broke out, with the exception i'd say in

517
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: Wisconsin that almost became a huge game changer. He was

518
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: the last serious candidate left standing. But he liked Trump

519
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: is hated by the establishment. So it's interesting, isn't it.

520
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: Look at the names that we're talking about here, Scott Walker,

521
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: Chris Christie, Bobby Jendal, Rick Perry, Mike Huck Coulby, Rick Santorum,

522
00:32:53,720 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Bush, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Carly Fierina Ran, Paul J. Rich, Pataki.

523
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm kidding Lindsey Graham, and so Donald Trump, who led

524
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: first lad in the polls of July of twifteen, is

525
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: now secured the nomination. An extraordinary moment. Even the New

526
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: York Times recognized, Uh. In American political history, you know

527
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: it's you want to take it another step. He's gonna

528
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: be the first standard bearer of the Republican Party, having

529
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: won more primary votes than any other candidate in the

530
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: history of the Republican Party since Dwight Eisenhower. Uh, he'll

531
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: be the only guy not to have served in political office.

532
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: And Ike was a five star general. He was the

533
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War Two.

534
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: And I would say that Trump beat the most impressive

535
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: Republican field in three and a half decades. At least,

536
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: he won by spending a fraction of the amount of

537
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: money that his opponents did. He did it without posters,

538
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: He did it with a skeletal a skeleton campaign. Only

539
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: recently as he made some significant hires. It's frankly a

540
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: political achievement remarkable. I'm not saying it wasn't without costs.

541
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: It was extremely rough to the to his opponents. I

542
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: would assume you'll be the same with Hillary. I think

543
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: it's up to him now to unite the party and

544
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: reach out to those people that he was fighting with

545
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: and uh, start a general election contest. You know, except

546
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: for recent polls, he had been behind Hillary Clinton. The

547
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: latest ras musin asm up by three. The battleground last

548
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: week had him dead. Even Hillary is a weak candidate.

549
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: We don't know what James Comey is gonna come up with.

550
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: But those are the those are the facts. I think

551
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: this is this campaign, what you have now participated in

552
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: and what you have now witnessed is gonna be studied

553
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: a hundred years from now. It's that unpredicted bull so

554
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: and I would argue, if anybody tells you which way

555
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: this general election is going to go with any certainty,

556
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: they don't know what they're talking about. They just don't.

557
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I I think if I'm to

558
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: summon up the Republican establishment by the way they wait

559
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: and watch, you're gonna have some of them begging and

560
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: pleading to you know, jump on the Trump train, et cetera,

561
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: and and be on board. They're the first time Trump's

562
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: under fire. There will be the first people off the train,

563
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: which is always the case. But deeper than that, the

564
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: Obama failure, which is massive, is the Republican establishment. The

565
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: Republicans we elected to fix this and stand up to

566
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: this didn't do their job. They didn't get the job done.

567
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: And that's why, you know, and there their hatred is

568
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: pathological towards both these these leading candidates. It just was,

569
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, why so much hatred towards Ted Cruz, Why

570
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: because he barrass them, He stood up when they wouldn't

571
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: stand up. He was going to fulfill the promise they

572
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: all made. You know, they didn't want Cruise, Okay, half

573
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: of them did. Half of them didn't. You know, you

574
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: never knew where anybody was. Cruiz isn't going anywhere. Crews

575
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: might be president in the United States one day, Crews

576
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: might be a Supreme Court justice. One day. Crews might

577
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: be part of the Trump cabinet. You never, he may

578
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: be vice president. For crying out loud, for all I know,

579
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: you want to know where the blame lies in this.

580
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: Look at the Republican Party itself. You know, all of

581
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: these guys love their country. You know you can hear

582
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: it in in Ted Cruz's voice last night. I've seen

583
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: it in his eyes as I've been out on the

584
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: campaign trail with him. He sees what I see American decline.

585
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: He's a very religious individual, person of deep faith, you know.

586
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: He Um, the things said about him are just unbelievable.

587
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think a lot of this is

588
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: rooted in Republicans not repealing Obamacare, not stopping executive amnesty.

589
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: The Gang of Eight, Gang of Ay killed Marco Rubill.

590
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: Anybody that tells you any differently is just not analyzing

591
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: it correctly. So let me just move on and just

592
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: add this, Um, I have some unsolicited advice. But the

593
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: Trump campaign, Now, who do you think you are, Hannity?

594
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: As I just said, I think we had the strongest bench,

595
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: the strongest group of people in in over three decades

596
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: running for this presidency, running for this nomination. And if

597
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: I was Donald Trump, I know the first person that

598
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: he'll name is going to be as vice president. But

599
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: he also has really important jobs like Secretary of Defense,

600
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: Secretary of State, Department of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services.

601
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: And as I look at the list that I just

602
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: named off to you, Scott Walker and Jendal and Christy

603
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: and Perry and Huckabee and santorm and Jeff Bush and

604
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio and Carly and Ben and Rand, it's an

605
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to tap into the best and brightest,

606
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: especially the governors, because they have shown that conservatism. Some

607
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: people declaring conservatism is dead, it is not at all

608
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: conservatism when actually practiced. If it was practiced by d

609
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: C Republicans, this election year would not have unfolded the

610
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: way it did. That's just a fact. So that team

611
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: of rivals is not a bad idea, A team of

612
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: of ten solid, strong, conservative, wise successful politicians that actually

613
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: got jobs done. Is anybody better than Rick Perry for

614
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: crying out one No, Rick Perry's a rock star. He

615
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: would have been a great president. Scott Walker is a

616
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: rock star, would have been a great president. Said this

617
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: now for weeks. I have one other suggestion here I

618
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: would put these promises. I think people are so fed up,

619
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: so disgusted, so untrusting, feel so betrayed that I think

620
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: it's time to go back to a very simple yet

621
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: profoundly successful effort made in and that's put these ideas

622
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: on paper. Make a pledge, a vow, a promise that

623
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: you'll do the things that you'll say you're doing. Now.

624
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: I know that the general media narrative is Trump didn't

625
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: give specifics. Well, actually he did, and I know because

626
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: I interviewed him as much as I interviewed Ted Cruz.

627
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: I can tell you what Ted Cruiz's specifics were. To

628
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz would have been a great president. It was

629
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: Ted Cruise today that beat Trump. I would be saying, great,

630
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm all in for Ted Cruz. I don't. I. I

631
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: do not have the contempt that some have out there

632
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: for the how the people voted, or that somehow the

633
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: people were bamboozled, or that somehow the people were ignorant,

634
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: or that somehow the people didn't make informed decisions. I

635
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: think just the opposite. I think the people in Indiana

636
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: knew darned well what was going on last night. But

637
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Trump should put on at the top

638
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: of the list. He will build a border fence to

639
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: stop illegal immigration. That's what I would say, unless and

640
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: until we can actually vet the radical islamis that James

641
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: Clapper and James Comey and and General John Allen said

642
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: we'll infiltrate the Syrian refugee population. We are not taking

643
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: risks with American lives. Put it down on paper. Donald

644
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: Trump has told me many many times he wants to

645
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: repeal Obamacare. He likes health care savings accounts. It's up

646
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: on his website. Go take a look at it. So

647
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: I would put that I will repeal Obamacare and I

648
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: will replace it with health care savings accounts. I am

649
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: gonna stop illegal immigration. He will renegotiate the trade deals

650
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: of Obviously, an important issue is brought up again and

651
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: again so as to prevent people from losing jobs because manufacturing.

652
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that carrier goes to Mexico. It

653
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: is an unbelievable story. Because they want cheap labor. They're

654
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: not paying people in Mexico a lot of money. It's ridiculous.

655
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: The wages they'll pay down there, and then they want

656
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: to bring their their air conditions back here. It's outrageous.

657
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm willing to pay more for an air conditioner if

658
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: it means an American gets to keep his job. I'm

659
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: willing to pay a little bit more for a car

660
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: if the manufacturing is done here in the United States.

661
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't buy foreign cars, even though you can argue

662
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: that even them have made abroad too. Trump has said

663
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: to me numerous times he wants America to be energy independent.

664
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: Put it on paper. Trump said he likes the Penny

665
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: plan and a balance budget. That we can't continue to

666
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: put the burden of debt on our kids. Put it

667
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: on paper. Put on paper. That his plan to defeat isis.

668
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: He said he'd bombed the living out of them. Okay,

669
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: but he's not going to telegraph. He said he'll do

670
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: everything you can do to confront Iran. Although they probably

671
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: will have the hundred and fifty billion if they don't

672
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: have it all now, he wants other countries to step

673
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: up and pay. He said he'd protect the Second Amendment.

674
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: He said he's gonna give a list of judges that

675
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: he would appoint to the Supreme Court. And it's only

676
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: those names that he will that pool of names that

677
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: he would use. Put it down on paper. And the

678
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: reason I suggest it is because people don't trust those

679
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: people running for office. So if he would put together

680
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: all of those specifics, every piece of which I think

681
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: I name there is a conservative principle that he's run on,

682
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: and if he put it down as a pledge to

683
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: promise a solemn vow, and then he could persuade people

684
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: some of the best, deepest bench we've ever had in

685
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: the Republican Party to join him, then I think there

686
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: might be an effort and a consolidation. The first person

687
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: I'd make a phone call to his Senator Ted Cruz.

688
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: The next person would be John Kasik, The next person

689
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: after that would be Mark Rubio, and everybody else on

690
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: that list of people that have lost over time. If

691
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: he hasn't talked to them already, I have no idea

692
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: if he has or has it. I just don't know,

693
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: because what's the alternative. Hillary is not building a wall.

694
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: Hillary is not repealing Obamacare. Hillary is not appointing justices

695
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,280
Speaker 1: that are going to be in the vein of Scalia

696
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: and Thomas. Hillary is not going to become energy independent.

697
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: She just said no more call sorry, sucker. By the way,

698
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: I have that coal miner that confronted her is on

699
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: my TV show tonight. Yep, poor guy losing a job.

700
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm We're gonna put a call out of business she

701
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: said the same thing about fracking. She's also against. She's

702
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: not going to balance the budget. You really believe she

703
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: won't even recognize radical Islam exists. What did she do

704
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: in Libya? What did she do with Iran? What has

705
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: she done to improve relations with Israel? So that's my advice,

706
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: that is my that is what I think I would

707
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: do if I was Donald Trump today, I would try

708
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: and you know, absolutely put these things down. And then

709
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: there's something that we can that I think a party

710
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: that has been rudderless, visionless, that is disappointed, that has betrayed,

711
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: can hopefully regain the trust of the people to put

712
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: them in power. And maybe he can do a spine

713
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: transplant for the people in Washington that have been weak

714
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: and timid and feckless and visionless. But that's something that

715
00:44:55,360 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: every Senate candidate, every House candidate could run on. See

716
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: what they do. They didn't listen to me, did they?

717
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: Not one of them? Paul Ryan said six months ago

718
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: on this program, we're gonna have a contract with the

719
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: mart Well maybe there it is. I just spelled it

720
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: out for you. Why wouldn't they support what I just

721
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: laid out? Joining us? Now, somebody that really stepped out

722
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: on a limb and supported Donald Trump very early in

723
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: the process. Uh. He is the president of Liberty University. Uh.

724
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: Jerry Fulwell Jr. Welcome back to the program. How are

725
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: you great, Sean? How are you? You took a lot

726
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: of heat for this endorsement. Are you getting a lot

727
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: of heat now that Ted Cruz has gotten out? No,

728
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: I've only been one day, but it's uh, you know,

729
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: give it some time. That don't worry. My hate mail

730
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: is instantaneous now in the day and age of Twitter

731
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: and Facebook and Instagram. But anyway, go ahead. Well, you know,

732
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: I think social media is the reason that the establishment

733
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: um can't get it can't get a candidate elected anymore

734
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: because it's impossible to to fill of the people because

735
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: they're all talking to each other constantly. But it's and

736
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing. But it's uh. But

737
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: at Liberty, you know, we've we've Liberty doesn't support candidates

738
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: because it's a nonprofit, but we've had um a commencement

739
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: in two weeks. We have thirty four thousand people. But

740
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: it'll be in attendance who we're honoring alumni who one

741
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: was the top official with Ben Carson's campaign. And another

742
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: was is another Liberty alumni that we're honoring with an

743
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: honorary doctorate like the one you got when you were

744
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: here years ago. Is um Penny Nance, who heads up

745
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: Concerned Women for America. She's been an outspoke, he's a

746
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: rock star. I like her a lot. She's really she's here.

747
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to her being and she's gonna receive

748
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: an honorary doctorate. She's been an outspoken Cruise supporter. Tim Lee,

749
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: who's on our board, who lost both of his legs

750
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: in combat in Vietnam. He's been on our board since nineteen.

751
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: He headed up the organization Veterans for Cruise after I

752
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: introduced to to Raphael Crews, Ted's father, and he just

753
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: just now sent me a text message that he's putting

754
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: on Facebook urging all of the U Conservatives and the

755
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: Christians to unite behind Donald Trump. And he explains it,

756
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: while he's not the perfect candidate, and he you know,

757
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: he he might not be his what wasn't his first choice,

758
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: He's he in this in this text, he details why

759
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton would be so much worse, and you know,

760
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: just the Supreme Court issue alone in the courts at stake.

761
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: It's it's um, some people, I don't have any question

762
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: that Trump will appoint you know, the right people. But

763
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: some voters do have concern about that. But there's no

764
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: question who Hillary would appoint. Well, actually, Trump, Trump is

765
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: gonna release the names of the pool of people that

766
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: he would the only people that he would consider for

767
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. By the way, you know, his name,

768
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: I would put in her. I put Ted Cruz's name

769
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: in there, name in there. I would. I think Ted

770
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: Cruz would be a great Supreme Court justice. And uh,

771
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just, uh, it's just so important

772
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 1: that conservatives and Christians not be so idealistic. It's time

773
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: to be a little bit pragmatic. And I mean think

774
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: back over your lifetime. How many presidents are aligned with

775
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,479
Speaker 1: what you believed or what with with with what any

776
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: voter believed. I mean, it's just not it's not how

777
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 1: the system works. We have to we have to give

778
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: and take and um, go with the candidate that we

779
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 1: believe is electable and is that it's most most closely

780
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: aligned with with our beliefs. And I really believe Donald

781
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: Trump is is uh is the right man for this

782
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: for this time in America's history. I think we need

783
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: somebody tough. I think we need somebody who'll fight, and

784
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: he certainly will do that. And it's uh. I was

785
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: so honored and humbled by the comments he made in

786
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: the in the victory speech last night about Liberty and

787
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: about Um, about the role we played, and it was

788
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: just just kind of him to remember us. But but anyhow,

789
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: it's you were you told me at the time you endorsed.

790
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: I remember interviewing you that you were torn and and

791
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: you like Ted Cruz and you like Donald Trump. You

792
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: liked them both, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson and uh,

793
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I told you those were my three, my

794
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: three choices. And we were given another honorary doctorate to

795
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: George Rodgers, and ninety six year old World War Two

796
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: veteran who survived the Baton Death March, and he was

797
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: he he was a big supporter of Ben Carson. So

798
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: we're trying on campus here most of the students supported

799
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio. But there's always been respect for other people's

800
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 1: opinions here and I hope the rest of the conservative

801
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: conservative world will will emulate what I've seen here at

802
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: Liberty and UH, and unite. It's the only only hope

803
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: for this country. I just don't know. I agree with you.

804
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't see I will survive another another four years

805
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: of Obama type leadership. I gotta tell you. I think

806
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: Hillary is four more years of the same um. And

807
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: I know that people are disappointed today if if they

808
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: were supporting Ted Cruiser John Kasick. I get it. I've

809
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: seen this all throughout my career. People put their heart,

810
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: their soul, uh, the very essence of who they are

811
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: on the line. It's a brutal, brutal uh process from

812
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: the get go, and they do it because they love

813
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: their country. And in the end there's only gonna be

814
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: one candidate, and and then you have an issue of

815
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: whether or not people will unite. I know the never

816
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: Trump people have expressed their desire to stay on the

817
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: sidelines or maybe vote for Hillary, and that's their choice.

818
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad choice, and uh, we'll see

819
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: what happens maybe time. You know, even Bill Crystal is

820
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: reconsidering never Trump, So we'll see what happens. Well, the

821
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: Republican evangelicals have been going for Trump and with six

822
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: does that sound right? And there's there's a there's a

823
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: smaller group. There's a minority of evangelicals that are a

824
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: lot of them are in the never Trump movement. But

825
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: but they, you know, I think they will come. I

826
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: think they'll come across. I think they when they start

827
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: to compare what Trump will do as president with what

828
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: with what Hillary will do. And uh, that's the group

829
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: that that we're gonna be I'm gonna be talking to

830
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: and and uh, Tim Lee, that's what that's why he

831
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: wrote this post today. And it's it's just, uh, it's

832
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,280
Speaker 1: just time to unite for the good of the country.

833
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: And and I hope, I hope conservatives will do that.

834
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: You know, liberals have been a lot better at at

835
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: being pragmatic and and sticking together. And I hope conservatives

836
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: will take a lesson from what the liberals have done

837
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: over the last uh last few decades and and uh

838
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: start working together instead of instead of fighting each other.

839
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 1: And you know, maybe it'd be good if Donald Trump

840
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: apologized to uh, to the some of the candidates that

841
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: he had to attack to get his message across, and

842
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: and uh and one other thing, Sean, you know, I

843
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: just wonder if for a VP choice, if it wouldn't

844
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: make sense for for Trump to choose a business person,

845
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: some an outsider like himself who is not not not

846
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: a career politician. I mean, that's that's what's gotten him

847
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: where he is already. Well, actually, we're doing a poll

848
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: right now on Hannity dot Com, and believe it or not,

849
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: New King Ridge is in the lead of Marco Rubio seventeen,

850
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: Carson sixteen, other which is what you're saying, thirteen, Cruise eleven,

851
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: and that rounds out the top five. Um well, those

852
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 1: are all good choices. But I just wonder if if

853
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: it's if it would fit with his campaign to do

854
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: a to choose a non a non political person to

855
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: to be his running mate. It seems like that's what

856
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: people are gravitating towards right now. I have no idea

857
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: who that person would be, but it's, uh, this is

858
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 1: something that's something to think about, all right. Jerry Fallwell Jr.

859
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: Who is the president of Liberty University, Thank you sir,

860
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: as always we uh. I think the call for unity

861
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: is appropriate. I think it's gonna take some people time.

862
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 1: I think these wounds are pretty wide open right now,

863
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: and we'll see how things work out. Always good to

864
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: be with Sean, I appreciate a one, Shawn, if you

865
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. All right,

866
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: let's get to our busy phones. Atlanta News Talk WSB.

867
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: Shelley is next, Shelley, Hi, how are you glad you called? Hi?

868
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. Thanks. That's so excited to talk to you.

869
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: Thank you. UM. I think that like the media and

870
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: politicians are still kind of stumped by Trump's success and

871
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 1: and it's still a little bit wrong and in understanding

872
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: why he has succeeded. And I think that the religious

873
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: right has held the Republican Party hostage for a really

874
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: long time. It kind of ruinds me of what happened

875
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: here in Georgia that UM I heard about one time

876
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: after nine eleven when Cynthia McKinney was making just crazy

877
00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: statements and the people in that district. You that she

878
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,720
Speaker 1: that that district would always go Democrat. So the only

879
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 1: way to affect the vote was for Republicans to register

880
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: as Democrats and elect the other person in the in

881
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: the primary. Um, just anyone except since the McKinney, And

882
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: it seems like the religious rite kind of has that philosophy.

883
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: They're like ten percent of the population but they control

884
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: the primary and every four years they put forth the

885
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: shame person in different clothes and they pound during in

886
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: between elections. People want to talk about being fiscally conservative,

887
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: fiscally conservativeiscally conservative, but from primary times they have to

888
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: cow tow too anti abortion, like pro absolutely strictly pro life.

889
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: Let's repeal legislation, I mean repeal rotary way that's like

890
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: forty years old now, and maintrew America. I said over

891
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: and over again, no, we don't want our peel it.

892
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 1: But they get so focused on these on legislating morality

893
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: and everything like that, that they don't put forth successful candidates.

894
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,359
Speaker 1: Let me add to this because every eggit pole in

895
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: Indiana showed this last night. Jobs the economy number one.

896
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: I've always said, peace and prosperity drive elections. Americans are

897
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 1: out of work, government is out of control. Obamacare is

898
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: a failure. There's no appetite to to rein in spending.

899
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: There's no appetite to build a wall. There's no appetite

900
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 1: to become energy and dependent. There's no appetite to fix

901
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,720
Speaker 1: a broken educational system. There's no appetite to to really

902
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: take on in a serious, significant way. Radical Islam, there's

903
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 1: no appetite to balance the budget, there's no appetite to

904
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: to get better trade deals, and all of these things combined.

905
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: You know, everyone has been saying, oh, Trumps not specific

906
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 1: I beg to differ as somebody that's interviewed him a lot.

907
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: I can tell you where he stands on all of

908
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: these things. But you raise some good points. Now it's

909
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: it's really Look, this primary was in the hands of

910
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: the people. The idea that the people weren't informed is

911
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: absolutely bogus. The idea that the people won't be informed

912
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:24,280
Speaker 1: in in November is equally bogus. And if the country

913
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: has moved that far to the left that it will

914
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 1: take on Hillary Clinton as its president, then you get

915
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:34,240
Speaker 1: the government you deserve, and you'll get the predictable results

916
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: of the failure of liberal ideology. You know, I think

917
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: I think it was new that actually describes Trump the best.

918
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: He may do more to shatter He's not the conservative

919
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: that Ted cruizes, but he does see instinctively how liberal government,

920
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: the bureaucracy, the workings of government are failing dramatically. The

921
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: people and both parties frankly share the blame in a

922
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: lot of this anyway appreciated. Sarah is in Pennsylvania. Sarah, Hi,

923
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: how are you. You're on the Sean Hannity Show. Oh, hi, Son,

924
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 1: thank you very much for having me on. We are

925
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: just it's so appreciative of the education and the knowledge

926
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: that you've given us and expanded in this program. We're

927
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: in our sixties, we are Democrats, and we are going

928
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. And it's partially because a lot of

929
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: some of you media people have given us such um education.

930
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: That's really appreciated. But the main thing that I'm calling

931
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: about today is I'm really really saddened and disgusted how

932
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot of these media's push that women are against Trump.

933
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't know where they're getting this. I really do

934
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: not know where they're getting is. Because I'm gonna give

935
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: you an example, sir, of a wrestler. A wrestler is

936
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: taught when he goes on that matt if it's a

937
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: man or a woman, you wrestle them down. If they

938
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,959
Speaker 1: get to take down, then you pounder back. Now that's

939
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: what he does. His own wife explained that, So why

940
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: is it that some of these women that were demeaning

941
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: or got him in these situations at times? Whether it

942
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: was back in show business. It doesn't matter. That was

943
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: a long time ago. But where are they getting this

944
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: pull that women don't like him? Here in Pennsylvania we

945
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: do and I can tell you, sir, at Pennce State Campus,

946
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: they're all about him. So where are they coming up

947
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: with some of these faults that I have to say

948
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: your program and some of the others of of some

949
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: of them have been positive, some of them have attacked

950
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: him so much that not not compared to any of

951
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: the others. So sometimes he's like in a constant match

952
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: of countering and coming back. But his main trust is

953
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: still what he loves America. He grew up respectful to veterans.

954
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: He wants better for us. He's not saying we can't

955
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: have foreigners. She's saying, you have to do this. So

956
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: what's the problem. What's the problem? You know, to the

957
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: extent that you know, people buzz buzz, bubble and fizz

958
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: and give off their energy and mischaracterize a lot of physicians.

959
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: It is. Part of it is amusing. Part of it

960
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: is actually sad that um that people want to turn everything,

961
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: especially the Democrats and liberals, they want to turn everything

962
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: into a big fight in and advance that that predictable

963
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: narrative that Republicans are racist, they hate Muslims, they hate

964
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: black people, they hate Mexicans, they hate this. It's insane

965
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: to me anyway. Appreciate the call I gotta run here.

966
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: I apologize Sarah. I wish I had more time.
