16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: false press accounts leading up to today's hearing, Mr Comey

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: has now finally confirmed publicly what he repeatedly told President

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Trump privately, That is that the President was not under

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: investigation as part of any probe into Russian interference. The

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: president he Mr Comey also admitted that there is no

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: evidence that a single vote changed as a result of

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: any Russian interference. Mr Comey's testimony also makes clear that

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: the President never sought to impede the investigation into attempted

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: Russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen election, and

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: in fact, according to Mr Komey, the President told Mr

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: Comey quote, it would be good to find out close

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: quote in that investigation if there was quote some satellite

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: associates of his who did something wrong close quote. It

29
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: is overwhelmingly clear that there have been and continue to

30
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: be the thos in government who are actively attempting to

31
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: undermine this administration with selective and illegal leaks of classified

32
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: information and privileged communications. Mr Comey has now admitted that

33
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: he is one of these leakers. Today, Mr Comey admitted

34
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: that he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorized disclosures to the

35
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: press of privileged communications with the President. The leaks of

36
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: this privileged information began no later than March two thousand

37
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: and seventeen, when friends of Mr Komy have stated that

38
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: he disclosed to them the conversations that he had with

39
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: the President during their January two thousand and seventeen dinner

40
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: and February two thousand and seventeen White House Eating Today,

41
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: Mr Comy admitted that he leaked to friends of his

42
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: purported memos of those privileged communications, one of which he

43
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: testified was classified. Mr Comy also testified that immediately after

44
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: he was terminated, he authorized his friends to leak the

45
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: contents of those memos to the press in order to,

46
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: in Mr Comey's words quote prompt the appointment of a

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: special counsel close quote. Although Mr Comy testified that he

48
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: only leaked the memos in response to a tweet, the

49
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: public record reveals that The New York Times was quoting

50
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: from those memos the day before the referenced tweet, which

51
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: belies Mr Comey's excuse for this unauthorized disclosure of privileged

52
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: information and appears to be entirely retaliate Tory Director Comy.

53
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: The meeting in the Oval office where he made the

54
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: request about Mike Flynn was that the only time he

55
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: asked you to hopefully let it go. Yes. And in

56
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: that meeting, as you understood it, that was he was

57
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: asking not about the general Russia investigation. He was asking

58
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: very specifically about the jeopardy that Flynn was in himself.

59
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: That's how I understood, Yes, sir, and as you perceived it.

60
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: While it was a request that he hoped you did

61
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: away with it, you perceived it as an order given

62
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: his position to setting and the like and the some

63
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: of the circumstances. Yes, at the time, did you say

64
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: anything to the president about that is not an appropriate request?

65
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Or did you tell the White House counsel that is

66
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: not an appropriate request. Someone needs to go tell the

67
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: President that he can't do these things? Why? I don't know.

68
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, this investigation is full of leaks left and right.

69
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we've learned more from the newspapers sometimes that

70
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: we do from our open hearings, for sure, um dari.

71
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: Wonder why, of all the things in this investigation, the

72
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: only thing that's never been leaked is the fact that

73
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: the president was not personally under investigation, despite the fact

74
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: that both Democrats and Republicans and the leadership of Congress

75
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: and you that and have known that for weeks. I

76
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I find matters that are brief to the

77
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Gang of Eight are pretty tightly held in my experience,

78
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: all right, that, of course, well you first heard Marco

79
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: Rubio a star today in these hearings. What James come

80
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean it was pretty amazing. I am flabbergasted in

81
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: so many ways. There's so much to say, and so

82
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: much to cover, and so many angles and so much

83
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: we've discovered today that I've got to slow down and

84
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: really take my time on a day like this so

85
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: I can give you the information that I even can

86
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: see on television that the collusion story yea dead. Chris Matthews,

87
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: Chris he means he works at the network of of

88
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: black helicopters and tinfoil conspiracies, and no less a partisan

89
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: Democrat than him on the most radical, extreme left wing

90
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: network in the country, had to admit today that this

91
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: whole Russia Trump collusion conspiracy came apart this morning. He said,

92
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: that's what came apart, this theory. Listen. But the big

93
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: story to me has always been as all of us

94
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: and I think the cult really touched on it there.

95
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: But the assumption of the critics of the President of

96
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: his pursuers, you might say, is that somewhere along the

97
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: line in the last year, the President has something to

98
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: do with colluding with the Russian, something to do the

99
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: helping hand, encouraging them, feeding their desire to affect the

100
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: election in some way, some role they played, some conversation

101
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: he had with Michael Flynn or Paul man or somewhere.

102
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: And yet what came apart this morning was that theory,

103
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: because in two or two regards, the President said, according

104
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: to the written testimony of Mr Comey, go ahead and

105
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: get manybody's satellite to my operation and nail them. I'm

106
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: with you on that, somebody with men Manafort, Carter Page,

107
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: someone else like that. And then he also came across

108
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: the was fast and Comey said that basically Flynn wasn't

109
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: central to the rushed investigation that he was touching on it. Amazing.

110
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this might have been some synapse connection that

111
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: never existed before that showed up in the mind of

112
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: Chris Matthews. Um let me give you some headlines, and

113
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: then from within the headlines, will will break it all

114
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: down as systematically as we possibly can. And I don't know,

115
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: I think the liberal media actually thinks in this very

116
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: delusional fashion that they scored today. No, this was a

117
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: massive loss for them. First on the level, you know,

118
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: it was interesting to watch Comy, you know, dance all

119
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: around what I told you was going to be the

120
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: the understory of this whole thing, which is that if

121
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: James Comey at any point had thought that the President

122
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: was trying to get him to obstruct justice, well, then

123
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: he would have had an immediate obligation. Should not the

124
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: next day, not two weeks later, Not I'll meet with

125
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: my FBI friends immediately. And boy was he threading that needle.

126
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: If I was his lawyer today between the leaking admission

127
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: and eighteen USC four, who I would not be a

128
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: happy camper. Where was the lawyer? Needed a lawyer there today?

129
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: You know, instead of spending all of his time, you know,

130
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: talking to and feeding Robert Mueller. You know, it's not

131
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: for me to say obstructed. If he thought he had

132
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was trying to obstruct an investigation, then

133
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: he would have had to buy law immediately, refer it

134
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: to the Justice Department. Doesn't matter whether or not the

135
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: the Attorney General is gonna recuse himself or likely to

136
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: recuse himself, and the next person may me not be

137
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: in that position long enough he had a law abiding

138
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: duty or else facing a felony charge, and now he's well,

139
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: it's not for me to say obstructed. All right, it's

140
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: obstructed at once. Even even Chris Matthews pointed out, well,

141
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: Trump said that, well, I hope that you know that

142
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: I hope that this is over from Flynn. But he

143
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: also said the same thing about Hillary, Oh they're good people, uh,

144
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: and which kind of pissed me off at the time.

145
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: It really did, after all the you know, lock her

146
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: up and all the crimes he committed. Now, one thing

147
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: I want to say here, you cannot look at this

148
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. You cannot look at this case, this testimony. Comey,

149
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: what he's saying here in a vacuum. In other words,

150
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: you've got to look at the big picture here, because remember,

151
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: for obstruction to exist, there's got to be intent. And

152
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: one of the things that he was saying back when

153
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: he gave that that fifteen minute press conference about fourteen

154
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: minutes was a stinging indictment against Hillary Clinton, and then said, no, no,

155
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: never mind, there's no intent, no intent. Why did she

156
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: put an email server with top secret Special Access Program information?

157
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Why did she put it in a mom and pop

158
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: shop bathroom closet? Not only to avoid congressional oversight, but

159
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: it was a violation of the law, federal law. All

160
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: the mismanagement, mishandling of classified information, and he laid that

161
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: case out better than anybody. I I once went through

162
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: this as a thirteen minutes stinging indictment. Lenn lets her

163
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: off the hook, and I've got to tell you something.

164
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: He proved himself in the end to be a political hack,

165
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: I said at the time, and even Democrats had thought

166
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: that at the time. You know, the fact that she

167
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: delivered deleted over thirty thousand emails on her computers shows intent.

168
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: The fact that some of them turned out to be

169
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: not about yoga, wedding or grandchildren or emailing Bill who

170
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: never had an account that was alive from the get go,

171
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: and then turned out to be top secret information. There

172
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: she she committed multiple felonies. You know, I think, if

173
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm a Democrat today, that is absolutely aghast and shocked.

174
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: And again, you can't see this case through a prism.

175
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, even he admitted he's hopelessly biased because he

176
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: was fired, meaning comy you have to look at Okay, well,

177
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: what did we learn about Loretta Lynch. Well, Loretta Lynch

178
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: told come he should call Clinton the probe in this

179
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: case a matter and follow the Clinton talking points, not

180
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: an investigation, he said, Well, she Lynch told me to

181
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: call it a matter which confused and concerned me, he said,

182
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: But that was one of the bricks in the in

183
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: the load that that led me to conclude, I have

184
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: to step away from the Justice Department. We're going to

185
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: close this case credibly. Well, he never closed incredibly because

186
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: she had committed multiple felonies and he covered for her.

187
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: He ended up stepping in and doing the role of

188
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: the attorney general, which he had no business doing when

189
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: we have a process for recusal. After in fact, she

190
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: was on the tarmac telling Bill Clinton's you're not gonna

191
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: indight Hillary, which we all know happened. Now. I want this.

192
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: There's so much here to get to. It is not Watergate.

193
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: It never was watergate. There never was collusion in this case.

194
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: The president never tried to obstruct justice in this case.

195
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he said, I if they're

196
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: sad lights people around me, that's fine. What I saw

197
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: today was self serving, you know, clearly revenge seeking, anger

198
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: and lashing out and creating as much smoke as possible.

199
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: But there's absolutely no fire. And James Comey now has

200
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: become a political activist with two very distinct and different

201
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: standards when it comes to the application of the law

202
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: and the interpretation of intent, and with great passion. You know,

203
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: he laid into Trump as the liar, and and if

204
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: you're watched, you know he certainly is a professional and

205
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: handles himself. Okay, but you cannot avoid the deep resentment

206
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: that exists in this man and the contempt and the

207
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: double standard he had. Okay, Well, why did he write

208
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: memos only about Trump and not about Obama? And why

209
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: was intent here but not in the case of Hillary Clinton?

210
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's all of that and and none

211
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: of a lot of what he said here makes sense.

212
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: And I gonna go through all of this in all

213
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: of its details today. And we've got Jay Sekulo, it's

214
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: now working with the presidents and as his attorney. He'll

215
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: weigh in and um. Then we will check in also

216
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: with some members of the Freedom Caucus. They were a

217
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: gas at what they saw today. And Don Junior will

218
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: check in and Sarah Carter and John Solomon today. So

219
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna have the best analysis. And it's also analysis

220
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: you won't find anywhere else. No wonder why they want

221
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: to shut us down, No wonder why they want to

222
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: silence our voice. You know, God forbid. You don't get

223
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: the talking points collusion? What are all these media people

224
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: gonna do? Oh and Comey destroyed ABC and CNN in

225
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: the New York Times, Lupsie Daisy, false reporting, fake news. Alright,

226
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: So I have insomnia, but I've never slept better. And

227
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,720

00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: to say. It was a great day for President Trump

247
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: and his administration, and we'll get into all of it.

248
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, call me admitting that Trump's well, I hope

249
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: you can see your way clear to letting. I hope

250
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: you can let this go. He said, pretty much said

251
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: the same thing. It was interesting because Comey said he

252
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: interpreted the request about General Flynn as an order or

253
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: a command from the president. Then uh one, Senator, I

254
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: don't remember who immediately saw that that on display on

255
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: Comy's part for what it wasn't He proceeded to grow

256
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: call Mey said, do you know of any case for

257
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: a person has been charged for obstruction or for that matter,

258
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: any other criminal offense where they said that they had

259
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: hoped for an outcome, hope for an outcome? And call

260
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: me back from well, I don't know well enough to answer.

261
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: And the reason I keep saying his words, well, I

262
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: took it as a direction. I mean, this is the

263
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: President of the United States, with me alone, saying I

264
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: hope this. I took it as you know, what he

265
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: wants me to do. Well, he took orders from Loretta

266
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: Lynch on the issue of Hillary Clinton. That didn't seem

267
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: to bother him. So the senator goes, well, you may

268
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: have taken it as a direction, but not what he said.

269
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: It's not what he said, is it. No, it's not correct.

270
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: He said, I hope you don't know if anyone that's

271
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: ever been charged for hoping something. Is that a fair statement?

272
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't as I sit here, all right, So that

273
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: kills that. Then the whole Russia collusion. No, he's not

274
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: under investigation. Told him three times, I wasn't trying to obstruct.

275
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: Why because the president goes and says to him and

276
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: call me admits yeah. He said, well, well, I wanted

277
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: to continue and if there's any satellites out there, meaning

278
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: friends of mine, people in my campaign, it's gonna be

279
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: good to know. Let's find out who they are. And

280
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: his his statement explicitly contradicts the now acting FBI director's

281
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: testimony that there was no attempt to impede the investigation

282
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: at all, even though he had to and end up

283
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: admitting it himself. McCabe said, there's no effort, but no

284
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: effort to impede our investigation. All the people that spoke yesterday,

285
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: including the Director of National Intelligence, everybody that we told

286
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: you about Rosenstein and and Coats and and Admiral Rodgers

287
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: and everybody all said the same thing. Nothing has ever happened.

288
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: Even Attorney Alan Dershowitz, legal authority, longtime Democrat once served

289
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: as Bill Clinton's lawyer, said the memos that Comey have

290
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: put out here said they they're not even close to

291
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice. As a matter of fact, I'd argue

292
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: they'd be exculpatory by saying if there's any satellites I

293
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: want to know, I mean, it's amazing. And of course

294
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: the Washington Post and the New York Times and CNN

295
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: and ABC all busted, all busted for their fake news reporting.

296
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: We'll get to that, and Comey shooting down the Democrats

297
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: case for obstruction that even black helicopter TV tinfoil hat

298
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: TV MSNBC host Chris Matthews and said, well, that's blown

299
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: out of the water. We'll continue till the top of

300
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: the are Okay, I had to pull up some papers

301
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: that just fell down in front of me. Um, I

302
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: gotta tell you it's Here's the major takeaway from the

303
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: Comey hearing today that James Comey did more to help

304
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: the president it and his case. We we learned today

305
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: that the President wasn't under investigation. We learned the President

306
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: never asked to stop. As a matter of fact, encouraged

307
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: the Russia investigation and the investigation into anybody that might

308
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: be around him, his satellites that may have been a

309
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: part of this. We know that it was the president

310
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: that it was Comey, you initiated this relationship where they

311
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: talk one on one, which I thought was a very

312
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: important point that somebody just sent me before. And there

313
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: is nothing to the Russia collusion story, which is what

314
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: Chris Matthews point was. And it was, you know, a

315
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: very very amazing day, especially when you take away from

316
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: it how bad this day was for Loretta Lynch and

317
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: for the Obama administration and Loretta Lynch. Now is a

318
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: lot of explaining to do, as does James Comey, and

319
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: James Comey, you know, wanting to say, well, I can't

320
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: say as obstructure, and that's up to Robert Mueller. Well,

321
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: if he thought it was obstruction and he did nothing,

322
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: which he did nothing which the law required him to

323
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: do eighteen US Code for, and that would have been

324
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: to immediately tell the Justice Department regardless of whether or

325
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: not somebody might refuse themselves in a couple of weeks

326
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: or somebody might not be there for an extended period

327
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: of time, that doesn't take away his legal obligation in

328
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: any way, shape, matter of form. And you know what

329
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: we learned is that Comey was was concerned about interfering

330
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: for one other campaign, and that is the Clinton campaign,

331
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: which explains a lot. And for Laretta Lynch to come

332
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: out and and do what she did, and it's well,

333
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: it's not an investigation, sir. Can you refer to it

334
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: as a matter a matter? I gave a monologue back

335
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: on TV on May ninth that I gave the same

336
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: one pretty much on radio that day that the next

337
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: day when Comey was fired, and I pointed out at

338
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm saying this is on full display

339
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: today what the President did was right to fire Comey.

340
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: I wonder why all the Democrats did hate him up

341
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: until this point, I'm sure they probably started hating him again.

342
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: Is that Comey decided that he failed the American people

343
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: on a very spectacular level, and that he also was

344
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: disrespecting the Constitution. He didn't care about the equal application

345
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: of the rule of law being applied to every American.

346
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: You know, he literally stood by idly as our Fourth

347
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Amendment rights were being trampled upon. And I think first

348
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: and foremost created a two tier justice system, one for

349
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and apparently also a separate one for Loretta

350
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Lynch and one for the rest of America. And in

351
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: that sense, he's it was a national embarrassment what we

352
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: see here today in terms of him being the FBI director.

353
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: You know, all of this has gone on for so long,

354
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: and he could have cleared so much of it up

355
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: in so many different ways, and he didn't, you know,

356
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: but he did clear up the issue of Hillary clinton

357
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: server again and again, and he didn't think there was

358
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: enough intent. Well, let's see, she had a private server,

359
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: top secret special access programs, the highest level of classification

360
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: in terms of information on her computer, and a and

361
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: a server and a bathroom closet so she can avoid oversight.

362
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: The leading over thirty th emails claiming they were personal

363
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: That turned out to be a massive lie. If that's

364
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: not intent on Hillary Clinton's part to commit a crime,

365
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what is. If that's not intent to

366
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: purposely mishandle information and destroy top secret information and classified

367
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: information all felonies, I don't know what is. And you know,

368
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: even Comey himself, he laid out the case as good

369
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: as anybody, you know, when he pointed out that of

370
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: the thirty thousand emails that will return to the State Department,

371
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: and ten in a fifty two email chain had been

372
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: determined by the owning agency to have classified information at

373
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: the time they were sent or received. Oh, that's a felony.

374
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: Eight of those change chains contained information that was top

375
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: secret at the time. Thirty six of those chains contained

376
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: secret information at the time, eight contained confidential information at

377
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: the time. And separate from those, about two thousand additional

378
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: emails were then later up classified to make them confidential.

379
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: And then we also know with ninety nine point nine

380
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: percent certainty that five foreign agencies. You're so worried about Russia,

381
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Remember we were told the Russians tried to influence past elections,

382
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: and this election, nobody disputed Vladimir Putin's intention. Not nobody

383
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: trust Vladimir Putin. But there's certainly no evidence of Trump collusion.

384
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: And they weren't even investigating Donald Trump because there was

385
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: no evidence to investigate him, and Donald Trump encouraged the investigation,

386
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: didn't try to stall it. I hope that you know.

387
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: By the way, are you gonna be loyal to me?

388
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Or what about the last guy you work for? You're

389
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna be loyal to the constitution. Maybe it was a

390
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: roundabout way of saying, I didn't like the way you

391
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: handled the Clinton thing. You're gonna be I'll give you

392
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: a shot, but I expect you to be honestly loyal. Fine,

393
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: that works, Let's do that, you know. But James Comey

394
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: lays out the case fourteen minutes. That's why you cannot

395
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: see today's testimony in a bubble. Now we have to

396
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: see it through the prism of what Laretta Lynce did

397
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: and said. Now we have to see it through the

398
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: prism of how he handled Hillary Clinton with a thirteen

399
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: fourteen minutes stinging indictment, letting her off the hook, where

400
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: he's making the case that she committed felony after felony

401
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: after felony, after pelony after felony. You know, I I

402
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: it was breathtaking to me. And in the end, sadly,

403
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: for James Comey's part, it looks like a nice guys,

404
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, seems handles himself well. But he's the most

405
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: confused individual I've ever seen in the public eye. And

406
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: frankly he's been exposed. Was between the Clinton emails, the

407
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: Clinton server not investigating the pay to play scheme of

408
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: America's uranium uranium one deal scent of Vladimir Putin. There's

409
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: a real Russia conspiracy out there. She gets, you know,

410
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: millions and millions of millions funnel to the Clinton Foundation.

411
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin gets of our uranian What a great deal.

412
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: The evidence of wrongdoing in her case was so incontrovertible

413
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: and overwhelming, you know that. Of course, the left never

414
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: covered that. They've been too busy with RuSHA Rush or

415
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: Rush or Russia collusion, Russia Rush or Russia collusion, Russia Rusher.

416
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen anything like it. Now I'm

417
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: watching the media cherry pick as much as he can.

418
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: Then we've got an ex FBI director leaking information of

419
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: the press. Oh my god, I'm sitting there. I couldn't

420
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: believe what I was hearing today. I could not believe it,

421
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's one of the more incredible moments

422
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: in history. Did you show copies of your memos to

423
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: anyone outside of the Department of Justice? Yes? And to

424
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: whom did you show copies? I asked? Um President tweeted

425
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: on Friday after I got fired that I better hope

426
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: there's not tapes. I woke up in the middle of

427
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: the night on Monday night because it didn't dawn on

428
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: me originally that there might be corroboration for our conversation.

429
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: There might be a tape, And my judgment was I

430
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: needed to get that out into the public square, and

431
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: so I asked a friend of mine to share the

432
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: content of the memo with a reporter. Didn't do it

433
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: myself for a variety of reasons if I asked him to,

434
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a

435
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: special counsel, And so I asked a close friend of

436
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: mine to do it and was sapped. Mr wittis, no, No,

437
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: who was that? A good friend of mine who's a

438
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: professor of Columbia Law School. You said after you were dismissed.

439
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: You gave information to a friend so that friend could

440
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: get that information into the public media. Correct, what kind

441
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: of information was that was? Not? What kind of information

442
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: did you give to a friend that the press the

443
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: flint conversation that the president asked me to let the

444
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: flint and forgetting my exact own words, but the conversation

445
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: in the Oval office. So you didn't consider your memo

446
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: or your sense of that conversation to be a government document.

447
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: You considered to be somehow your own personal document that

448
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: you could share with the media as you wanted to correct,

449
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: my friend, I understood this to be my recollection recorded

450
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: of my conversation with the president as a private citizen.

451
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: I felt free to share that thought it very important

452
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: to get it out. What has been brought out in

453
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: this hearing is is more and more empsis on the

454
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: Russian engagement and involvement in this campaign. How serious do

455
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: you think? This? Was? Very serious? But I want to

456
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: say something to be clear, there was we have not

457
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: announced and there was no predication to announce an investigation

458
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: of whether the Russians may have coordinated with Secretary Clinton's

459
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: campaign Secretary Clinton's campell but they may not have been

460
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: involved with their campaign. They were involved with the entire

461
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: presidential campaign obviously, of course, sir. And that that is

462
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: an investigation that began last summer and so far as

463
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm aware, continues. So both President Trump and former candidate

464
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: Clinton are both involved in the investigation. Yet one of

465
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: them you said there's gonna be no charges, and the

466
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: other one that the investigation continues. Well, I think there's

467
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: a double standard there, to tell you the truth, now,

468
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: Centator McCain was on to something. He just didn't He

469
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: didn't articulate it as well as he could have here.

470
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: And what he was saying is and he's dead on

471
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: and no one else got to this is Remember the

472
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: d n C. Remember the hacked emails. Okay, Remember Russia, Russia, Russia,

473
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: Trump Russia did it? Okay. Julian Assan is the one

474
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: guy that knows that it wasn't Russia. Didn't say who,

475
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: but he said it was in Russia. I have my

476
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: suspicions that it could very well have been a group

477
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: of people that supported Bernie Sands and saw the corruption

478
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: at a deep level. Remember it led to Debbie Wasserman

479
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: Schultz six others being fired on the eve of the convention.

480
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: And what what what John McCain was getting to here

481
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: is you let the if he would have finished it,

482
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: you let the d n C go ahead and and

483
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: literally hired their own people because they didn't want the

484
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: FBI looking at their computers. Hello, wake up. And then

485
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: his comments that he hoped that it would trigger a

486
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: special counsel and now he's been consulting with the special council. Frankly,

487
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: I am I gonna be the only one that says,

488
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: maybe Robert Mueller, his best friend apparently is BFF. Maybe

489
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: he's been compromised here in ways. We don't know what's

490
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: going on here, you know. But they didn't have a

491
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: special council. He resisted it for Hillary and her emails,

492
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: and Hillary and her the Clinton Foundation and the I

493
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: R S scandal. He didn't want them there. So there's

494
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: a massive double standard all across the board. Now call

495
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: me admits that Trump's hope, well, I hope you can

496
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: let this admits you know, well, I thought I had

497
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: hoped that, but I thought it was an order. Well,

498
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: even if I hoped. You know, if anyone that's ever

499
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: been charged hoping something, no, it's never happened. The collusion

500
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: story is dead here. The president is not being investigated here,

501
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: The president didn't obstruct here. Comey statement also explicitly contradicted

502
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: the testimony yesterday of of Admiral Rodgers and and UH

503
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: Director Coates and and so many other people. Nothing happened.

504
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: And as I said, Alan Dershowitz, no, it doesn't even

505
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: begin to rise to the level of anything like that

506
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: hoping hoping. Nobody got indicted for hoping an outcome. And

507
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: you got the Washington Post, the New York Times, the CNN,

508
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: ABC all busted for their fake news reporting during this

509
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: entire scandal by Comey, you know, pointing out that, yeah,

510
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: a lot of what you read in the media was

511
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: just an outright line what Washington Post busted for spreading

512
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: more fake news about Russia game and that investigation. You know.

513
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: The nation's top intelligence official told the Associates in March

514
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: that President Trump asked him if he could intervene when

515
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: the FBI Director James Comey to get the bureau to

516
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: back off its focus of former National Security Advisor Michael

517
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Flynn all his hours after The Washington Post printed that drivel,

518
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: Dan Coates testified that he was never pressured. Nobody in

519
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: the media paid attention to that. Lindsey Graham pointed out today,

520
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: and he's right that Comey's public testiponent testimony means Mueller

521
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: is no case for obstruction. Well, then close up shop,

522
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: it's over. But of course, you know, you've got to

523
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: justify your existence, so it'll go on forever. And Comey

524
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: shot down the Democrats case for obstruction. Also when Richard Burr,

525
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: the Republican chairman Select Committee on Intelligence as well, did

526
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: the President at any time ask you to stop the

527
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: FBI investigation into the Russian involvement of the elections, Not

528
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: to my understand no, as evidence by Also, you know,

529
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: if there's any satellites around me, get them too, we

530
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: also said, and confirmed again not one vote that he

531
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: knew of was impacted in the election, even the majority

532
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: of the public. Now there's an IBD poll out that

533
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: points out a majority of Americans doubt the election outcome

534
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: was influenced by Russia. Well, he said it today and

535
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: nearly half agree. The current investigation is a political witch hunt.

536
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: It is full of black helicopter theories and tinfoil had

537
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists, and they're supposedly working for The New York Times,

538
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: The Washington Post, ABC, NBCCBS, CNN, and MSNBC. Poor Chris Matthews.

539
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: Good for him, though, I mean he had to admit it.

540
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: Finally the Russia collusion theory came apart today. What was

541
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: he going to call out his colleagues that can't stop NonStop?

542
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: Why didn't he ever take memos on Obama? Why didn't

543
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: you say that, you know, Mr President, this is wrong

544
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: at any time? Why didn't at any point did you

545
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: walk out? I don't know. I guess it was afraid,

546
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: but I was not afraid enough to take notes. Maybe

547
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: the President didn't understand the independence of the FBI. You

548
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: said it MS the president. That's just an inappropriate conversation

549
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: ended well, I didn't want to be alone with him,

550
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: but I took his phone calls. None of this makes sense.

551
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like this in my life. Unbelievable.

552
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: A right, We'll get j seculars take. We've got Sarah Carter,

553
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: we got the Freedom Caucuses take, we got Donald Trump Junior.

554
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: Today the best coverage analysis, I promise you won't get

555
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: anywhere in the media. It's gonna happen with Loretta Lynch

556
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: and Hillary open the investigations. That's it. Let's let's get

557
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: the let's have equal application of the law. Can we

558
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: also as a country, especially Obama people with the sanctimoni

559
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: Russia tried to hack and influence our elections, Yeah, like

560
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: they have in previous elections. And by the way, Seul

561
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: has many other countries. And then Obama try to, yeah,

562
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: use taxpayer money and influence the elections in Israel. Can

563
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: we cut the sanctimonious b as here by all these

564
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: people in Washington. That's what countries do. It is overwhelmingly

565
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: clear that there have been and continue to be those

566
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: in government who are actively attempting to undermine this administration

567
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: with selective and illegal leaks of classified information and privileged communications.

568
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: Mr Komy has now admitted that he is one of

569
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: these leakers. Today, Mr Comey admitted that he unilaterally and

570
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: surreptitiously made unauthorized disclosures to the press of privileged communications

571
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: with the President. The leaks of this privileged information began

572
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: no later than March two thousands, seventeen, when friends of Mr.

573
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: Coomy have stated that he disclosed to them the conversations

574
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: that he had with the President during their January two

575
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen dinner and February two thousand and seventeen

576
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: White House meeting. Today, Mr Comy admitted that he leaked

577
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: to friends of his purported memos of those privileged communications,

578
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: one of which he testified was classified. Mr Comy also

579
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: testified that immediately after he was terminated, he authorized his

580
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: friends to leak the contents of those memos to the

581
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: press in order to, in Mr Comey's words quote prompt

582
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: the appointment of a special counsel close quote. Although Mr

583
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: Comy testified that he only leaked the memos in response

584
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: to a tweet, the public record reveals that The New

585
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: York Times was quoting from those memos the day before

586
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: the referenced tweet, which belies Mr Comey's excuse for this

587
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: unauthorized disclosure of privileged information and appears to be entirely retaliatory.

588
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: Entirely retaliatory. The attorney for the President, Yeah, the selective,

589
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: illegal leaking of classified information, and that was one of

590
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: the big discoveries and admissions today by James Comey. Welcome

591
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: back Lager with us our two. Sean Hannity Show eight

592
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: nine one, Shawn, we learned a lot today, one that

593
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: the president and his staff not only did uh did

594
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: not obstruct justice or try to stop the Russia collusion story.

595
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: There is no Russia collusion story, even admitted by by

596
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: ms NBC's Chris Matthews. How does he explain his network's

597
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: coverage for the last ten months. Imagine if I had

598
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: advanced the black helicopter theories they've been advancing. And of

599
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: course the director confirming multiple times the president was never

600
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: under investigation and is not under investigation, and also talking

601
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: about the president done nothing wrong and established he establishes

602
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: one on one rule. And then we learned today that

603
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, so many other facts about James Comey, James Comey,

604
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: the former f Behind director. You know, okay, did anyone

605
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: ever get indicted for hoping? You know, I hope this

606
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: guy is not going to get in trouble, just like

607
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: he went out and hoped that Hillary wasn't getting trouble.

608
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: It's that this has now gotten a line that is

609
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: so obscene. And then we've got the double standard as

610
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 1: it relates to the application of the law and equal

611
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: justice under the law, and James Comey protecting Hillary Clinton

612
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: from multiple felonies. And then we discovered the Attorney General,

613
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch has a lot of explaining to do. And

614
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: why is it that she appealed to James Comey to

615
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,479
Speaker 1: to change the wording from investigation into a matter, which

616
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: he complied with. Apparently, all right, here to go over

617
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: all these legal issues, Jay Sekulo, he's the chief counsel

618
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: for the American Center for Law and Justice. Uh, Jay,

619
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: your initial thoughts and then I want to get to

620
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: specific questions about the law. Well, I thought, first of all,

621
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: James call Me once again established three things. The President

622
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: did not obstruct justice, the President was never under investigation,

623
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: and that James call Me admitted that he in fact

624
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: authorized a leak of an a memo that he had

625
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: of a conversation with the President of the United States.

626
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: And if somebody thinks that's okay, I got news for you,

627
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: that's not okay. So that you had privileged communication with

628
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: the president. You walk into the White House as I do,

629
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: as you've done, and you have a conversation with the

630
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: president about a matter, but with me, it's attorney client privilege.

631
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so that this this is this idea that

632
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: James Colemey is sending this sulf out and then he

633
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: said he did it in response to a tweet from

634
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: the president, when we know, in fact that the New

635
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: York Times reported what was in that memo, So he

636
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: he really lied. I think so. I think. Listen, I'm

637
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: not gonna be shocked if James Comey goes back and

638
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: asked to quote correct his testimony once again, which is

639
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: his modus operandi. What about going into this what you

640
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: and I discussed a teen US Code for and the

641
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: fact that, which I thought was amazing. If at any

642
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: point he had thought that the president was attempting to

643
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: obstruct justice, he had a legal obligation to immediately The

644
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: words in the law are immediately go out there and

645
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: and go to the Justice Department and and go to

646
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: law enforcement and go to other authorities to report it,

647
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: which he never did. And then he tried to say, well,

648
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: now that's up to Robert Mueller to decide. Right. Well,

649
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, when he was asked the question,

650
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: he didn't even for the first five minutes of his answer,

651
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: he couldn't even remember a ten U s C. Four.

652
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: He kept saying, well, I'm not sure what that would be.

653
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: That's an interesting question. We're also sitting there screaming ten

654
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: usc four. Of course you had an obligation. He didn't

655
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: do that, shown though for one simple reason, Hey, it

656
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: didn't happen. Be if he went over and send it,

657
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: did he'd be lying under oath. So you see, may

658
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 1: that so so? But he never thought, he never thought

659
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: it rose to the level. Is the point, because if

660
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: he did, you know, or he I honestly was thinking

661
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: of times today that he had not even consulted an attorney.

662
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: Either that or he's just is he just totally ignorant? Well, look,

663
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:18,959
Speaker 1: I mean I think if you look at his written

664
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: statement yesterday, which is part of the record, which it

665
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: completely exonerates, totally, completely vindicates the President of the United

666
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: States from any alleged wrongdoing completely, and he didn't do

667
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: anything that changed that today. That same was written by

668
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: his lork ors. He hadn't he had a run, he

669
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: had put thread in that needle. Was he had he

670
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: had to make sure he didn't get himself in trouble.

671
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: Now today, if you noticed when Marco Rubibio said, that

672
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: seems to leak, uh with the only thing that seemed

673
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: not to leak was the fact that you acknowledged three

674
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: times of the president was not under investigation or subject

675
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: to an investigation. You acknowledge that, and that leak that

676
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: doesn't get out Hillary Clinton, when you close that that

677
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: gets out. But this tells you what the nature of

678
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: what has you dumb on the streets of Washington here.

679
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: But Sean, that's the reality of what it is. Let

680
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: me let me ask on the legal side this whole comment. Uh,

681
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: I hope that, I hope you can let this go

682
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: as it relates to Flynn. Now, there was a a

683
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: senator rish I thought it was amazing on this when

684
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: he went out there and said, have you ever heard

685
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: of anyone has anyone ever been charged for hoping that

686
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: something happens not directing it? So well, I took it

687
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: as I took it as an order. Well, that's not

688
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: what he said. You can't interpret something that it's not.

689
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: I hope this, I hope you can let this go,

690
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: does not mean anything else. No, it's called First of all,

691
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: you know, look in the context, assuming that that was

692
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: even the conversation, by the way, because all we have

693
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: is is James called me side of that. So assuming

694
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: that's the conversation, the question you have to ask yourself,

695
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: and I think this is what it really is. As

696
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: he rolls this out, it's so what what human being

697
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: would not hope that the guy, after he served the

698
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: country for thirty five years in the military, went through

699
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: this horribly embarrassing scenario when he went on the administration.

700
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: I hope this is done for the guy. He's a

701
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: good guy. Yes, he's a good guy. That's James called

702
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: me his definition or the left definition of obstruction of justice. Well,

703
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: then it's called human compassion, and the same compassion, by

704
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: the way that he showed the Hillary Clinton right, of

705
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: course it did not the president said that, but you know,

706
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: prison Obamas said that. But here's the here's the thing

707
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: that is not the standard for obstruction of justice, and

708
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: James Commy knew that, and so did I was actually

709
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 1: pleased with the questioning from a number of the members

710
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: of the Senate that got to the listen Diane Finstein's

711
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: to ask some tough questions of James, coming, uh, why

712
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: did you not say this, Why did you not go

713
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: to him? Why did you answer on the so called

714
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: loyalty nonsense, which is that's what that is? Why didn't

715
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: you say that's inappropriate? Said? Well, I wasn't strong enough.

716
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: By the way, is that what you wanted? Your FBI director,

717
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: wasn't yea? Or or why didn't he walk away if

718
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: he thought the President was about to ask him to

719
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 1: do something inappropriate, you know, as we a spy novel

720
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: and we sat there in silence, awkward silence, staring at

721
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: each other. This is a guy that legal standard is

722
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: mildly name. Maybe that's really a good point. Um, let

723
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: me ask you this, because it wasn't interesting to watch

724
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: ABC and the New York Times and CNN and and

725
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: the Washington Post all get called out by by calling

726
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: me that's an interesting sidebar to me because they just

727
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: lie repeatedly and it's fake news, and the President has

728
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: been right, and the selective leaking of information. I hope

729
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: when now we take seriously and get to the bottom

730
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: of the deep state, which is a different issue. But

731
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: could you imagine if I had gone with a ten

732
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: month conspiracy theory the way all these networks have and

733
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: by the way, I think some of them are still

734
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: doing it today in spite of all the evidence. Chris

735
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: Matthews is like the only one that said, all right,

736
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 1: it's over, guys. You know, the Russia collusion story dead. Yeah,

737
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: he did say that, which I thought was pretty fascinating.

738
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: But they would be roasting you. I mean, let would

739
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: be going, you know, Sean Hanny's got, you know, pouting

740
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories that don't exist. But here's the reality what

741
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: they got, even from James Commy's mouth in that regard

742
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: when all the new don't believe what you read in

743
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: the newspapers, but exactly what he said basically. So here's

744
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 1: what I say, right, don't believe what you read. Yeah,

745
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean I might on this for James Commy is

746
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: not good Sehn because the contents of that memo was

747
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: in the New York Times the day before the President's tweet.

748
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: So that whole scenario that he gave was incorrect. You know,

749
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I mean, at the end of

750
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: all of this, I mean, with all that the president

751
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: has had happened frohim today, I don't think it could

752
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: have been a better outcome. But here's the problem. I mean,

753
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: and this was why I think we heard so much

754
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 1: from these senators before all of this. Remember Mark Warner

755
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: said no evidence of collusion. No, Evin, Diane finds got

756
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: no evidence of collusion, and and Clapper and Comey and

757
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: Brennan and and all of these no evidence of collusion,

758
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: even Maxie Waters, no evidence of collusion. Now today, no

759
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: evidence of collusion, and the story is dead. But here's

760
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: the problem. But they all said, well, there's a lot

761
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: of smoke. So incomes I guess the smoker himself. James

762
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: told many any and there's no fire. But he's spreading

763
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: smoke all around. And I assume that people are just

764
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: going to continue with smoke. And in spite of the

765
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: fact that to me, it was an exculpatory day for

766
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: the president in in in every different major issue involved

767
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: legally in this. So here's the thing. You know those

768
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: smoke machines that put out the fake smoke, it's really vapor. Yeah.

769
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 1: But by the way, I have a smoke machine that's

770
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: called the Master Built. It's a great gift for Father's Day.

771
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: Would you like me to send you one. I'll send

772
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: you one for Father's Day? All right, we'll put you

773
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: on the list. Yeah. But here's the thing. It's like,

774
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: it's like fake smoke. So here here's the here's the

775
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: here's the reality. It's fake moment. So there's no there,

776
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: there there's no collusion, there's no interference, there's no obstruction.

777
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: The President once told three times that he was not

778
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: under investigation, never has been a target of investigation. So

779
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: ask yourself the basic question, then what is this? This

780
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: is a put up? But you're right, Sean, this is

781
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: going We need to be prepared for a long term

782
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: in gay here. This is not going to go away

783
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: in ten minutes. But I will tell you someone was

784
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: with the President today. He is focused like a laser

785
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: beam on the issues facing the country. Focus like a

786
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: laser beam. Yeah, well I got to imagine that, and

787
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: that says, all right, can you can you stay around

788
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes You're gonna be with us. We're

789
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: doing a two hour Hannity tonight. And I gotta be honest,

790
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't usually like when they always say can you

791
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: do two hours? Can you do three hours? Can you

792
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: do four hours? On? Like, seriously, does anyone else around

793
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: here work but me? But I'm kidding, but um, but

794
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad tonight we have two hours because I just

795
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: got so much to say. You have so much to say,

796
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: Lord Ingram has so much to say. Don Junior, who's

797
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna join us later, He has a lot to say.

798
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: He was who was ripping on Twitter today? Was so

799
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: good on Twitter? Um? All right, Jay Seculo, the Chief

800
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: Council for the American Center for Law in Justice, is

801
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: with us eight hundred nine for one Shawn. At the

802
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour, we'll check in with members of

803
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus, Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, Dave Bratt. They

804
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: are aghast at what they saw today. Then we got

805
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: John Solomon and Sarah Carter and Don Jr. All coming up?

806
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: Is this now over the Trump Russia collusion? Is this

807
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: now dead? Is this now finishes this now? Barry J. Seculo,

808
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 1: Chief Council, American Center for Law Injustice. Well, it's certainly

809
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: closed that to the president because it was never really

810
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: opened that. It was clear that James Commings to the

811
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: President has never been a target of this. There's no

812
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: evidence of pollution. What about those that say, well, but

813
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 1: there's the obstruction issue. There's no obstruction. Even Alan Dersho

814
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: was said that there there there's no way they can

815
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: bring an obstruction charge here. Now this is Washington, d C.

816
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: So the problem is, of course that nothing is over

817
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: over with overnight, so it should be done. It is

818
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: a colossal waste of taxpayer money. It's I think, frankly,

819
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be blunt here. It is bad for the

820
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: country that this is the imagery we're casting to other

821
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: countries when we're in the middle of a terrorism epidemic

822
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: around the world, we're in the middle of trying to

823
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: get healthcare reform, which you've been so engaged in, trying

824
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 1: to get tax reforms started, got all these legislative issues,

825
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,479
Speaker 1: and we're transfixed on these issues. So I don't often

826
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: agree with Lindsey Graham, but Graham's pointed out today that

827
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: called me ridiculous testimony today should mean that Mueller is

828
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: no case for obstruction get lost. Well, and I think,

829
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: and that's the position I'm advocating, that there is no obstruction.

830
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: The FBI director said it. So this is a waste

831
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: of time. Now, that doesn't mean that, you know, Mueller's

832
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: looking at Paul Manaford and he's looking at these other people.

833
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: You mean, he's got his mandate and he'll believe me.

834
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: These guys they get a mandate, they take it. But

835
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: as to the president, let's be clear, not only is

836
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: there no need there there there was never a there

837
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: there and called me said that never he was the

838
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: worst thing the president did. If the president everything James

839
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: called mey said was correct, and he is, but if

840
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: everything he said was correct, he was uncomfortable and mildly nauseous.

841
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, take some pepto bismol. I mean,

842
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, hey, break, I mean, it's just I think

843
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan was right in one time. I actually think

844
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: the president, you know, he probably was saying, all right, now,

845
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: you're loyal to me, not Obama. You're not gonna be

846
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: one of these leakers or a deep state guy, and

847
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: you believe in the rule of law. I didn't like

848
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: how you handled the Hillary thing. You know, we're gonna

849
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: reset here, you know, honest loyalty. Oh yeah, I agree

850
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: with that. Honest loyalty. Let's be honest. Let's here's the

851
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: thing with that, John, Let's assume, for her sake, for

852
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: the stake argument, assume that's what was said and loyal honesty,

853
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: and and what did call me respond to say, yes,

854
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: honest loyalty. Well, okay, that is not obstruction of anything.

855
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, do I want people that work

856
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: for me to be loyal? Yeah, and protecting our institutional interests.

857
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: But go to Richard Burr's question. By the way, did

858
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: the President at any time ask you to stop the

859
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: investigation into Russian involvement in the sixteen election? J great job.

860
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: We'll see on TV Hannaday tonight at ten when we

861
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: come back members of the Freedom Caucus. We'll check in

862
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: with Mark Meadows and Dave Bratt and Jim Jordan's and

863
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: we'll check in with Sarah Carter and John Solomon from

864
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: Circuit News. Donald Trump Jr. Was on a tweet storm today.

865
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: He was on fire or he'll join us Hannity two

866
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: hours to night ten until midnight. Thanks for being with us. Yes,

867
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 1: a good day for the president. But what he asked

868
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: me was actually narrower than that. So I think what

869
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: he meant by the cloud, and again I could be wrong,

870
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: but what I think he meant by the cloud was

871
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: the entire investigation is taking up oxygen and making it

872
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: hard for me to focus on the things I want

873
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: to focus on. That you had understood the President to

874
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: be requesting that we dropped any investigation of Flynn in

875
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: connection with false statements about his conversations with the Russian

876
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: ambassador in December and quote, please go into that with

877
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: more detail. Well, the content and the President's words are

878
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: what led me to that conclusion. As I said in

879
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: my statement, I could be wrong, but Flynn had been

880
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: forced to resign the day before. I didn't know that

881
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: at the time, but I watched his interview. I've read

882
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: the press accounts of his conversations. So I take him

883
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: at his word there. Now, Look, I could be wrong.

884
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he's saying something it's not true, but I take

885
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: him at his word at least based on what I know. Now,

886
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: what was your impression of that type of action? Had

887
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: you ever seen anything like that before? No, my impression

888
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: was something big is about to happen. I need to

889
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: remember every single word that has spoken. And again, I

890
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: could be wrong. I'm fifty six years old. I've been

891
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: seen a few things. My sense was the Attorney General

892
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 1: knew he shouldn't be leaving, which is why he was lingering.

893
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 1: The next Friday, I have dinner and the President begins

894
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: by wanting to talk about my job. And so I'm

895
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: sitting there thinking, wait a minute. Three times we've already

896
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: you've already asked me to stay or talked about me staying.

897
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: My common sense Again, I could be wrong, but my

898
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: common sense told me, what's going on here is that

899
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: he's looking to get something in exchange for granting my

900
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: request to stay in the job. What was your impression

901
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: and what did you mean by this notion of a

902
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: patronage relationship. Well, my impression, and again it's my impression.

903
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: I could always be wrong, but my common sense told

904
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: me that what was going on is either he had

905
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: concluded or someone had told him that you didn't. You've

906
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: already asked home to stay and you didn't get anything

907
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: for it. Did you have any interactions with the president

908
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: that suggested he was taking that hostile action seriously? I

909
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: don't remember any interactions with the president other than the

910
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: initial briefing on January the sixth. I don't remember. It

911
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: could be wrong, but I don't remember any conversation with

912
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: him at all about that. Michael Flynn resigned four days

913
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: after Attorney General Sessions the sworn in. Do you know

914
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: if the Attorney General was aware of the concerns about

915
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn during that period? I don't. As I sit here,

916
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't recall that he was. I could

917
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: be wrong, but I don't remember that he was. I

918
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't feel why didn't I get up.

919
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: If I thought these horrible things were happening, why did

920
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: I show up? Well, I didn't want to talk to

921
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: him or being alone with him, but I took phone

922
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: calls with him. None. It is, you know, on the surface,

923
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: you see a really really strong guy that gives like

924
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: a military presentation, and then when you dig an inch deep,

925
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: you just start saying, this doesn't make sense on so

926
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: many different levels. Anyway, joining US Freedom Caucus members, it's

927
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: president is with us UH and the chairman, and that's

928
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, congressman from North Carolina. Then we have Jim

929
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: Jordan from Ohio. He got overthrown in a kubay meadows

930
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: and of course Dave Bratt is from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

931
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, you guys, the fact you

932
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: even all talk to me now is ridiculous on your parts.

933
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 1: There's no upside for any of you. I can tell

934
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: you there was no coup. In fact that there are

935
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: times where we wanted to give the baton back to

936
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, I believe that. You mean, like during

937
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: the healthcare John Hannity's has got to be a pretty

938
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: good guy. Uh. You know, you guys are really too

939
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: nice to me and uh, and I can say this,

940
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: probably nothing gets done in the House without the Freedom Caucus,

941
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: and you guys have have really been the champions of

942
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: moving things. But before we get to this this hearing today, Uh,

943
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: is it true you guys are asking the leadership don't

944
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: go on August recess. Absolutely. We took an official position

945
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 1: just the other night that we need to be about

946
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: the people's business. You've been holding Congress accountable, you know,

947
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: you've been consistent on that, and we think that we

948
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: need to just stay here and get it done. We've

949
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: got tax reform, We've got budget, we've got transportation, we've

950
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: got healthcare repeal and replaced. It needs to get You

951
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: got a wall needs to get done, a budget that

952
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: needs to get done, tax cuts needs to get done. Uh,

953
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: finishing Obama? You're so much well as the leadership responded

954
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: to your Look, I've never seen a job where people

955
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: are off as much as you guys. But you know,

956
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: not you in particular, but Congress in general, who gets

957
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: off this much. It's ridiculous. Well, it is ridiculous, Sean.

958
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 1: I think the other part of that is is if

959
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: we were accomplishing a whole bunch, they would would think

960
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: that it was appropriate to take off. I mean, obviously

961
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: we do things back in the district. There's a whole

962
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 1: lot of constituent services that we have to get done,

963
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys go play golf to the

964
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,959
Speaker 1: president's death to get signed. No, I agree with, but listen,

965
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: you guys are the good guys and all this, I

966
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: don't want to leave another perception. All right, let's go

967
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: to Comey's appearance today. Congressman Jordan, Let's start with you.

968
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: I found it, first of all, for the president, totally

969
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: and completely exonerating. And and the media is they can't

970
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: say Watergate anymore. They just can't because the President is saying,

971
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: I want the investigation to continue. I want to get

972
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. You're telling me I'm not

973
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: being investigated, Please tell the public. And then he says,

974
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: if there's any satellite of mine, it's good that we

975
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: find out. What else do we need here? No, you're right,

976
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours being good for the president.

977
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: It confirms everything he said. You know, he wasn't under investigation.

978
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: There was never any talking about collusion, never any talking

979
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: about obstruction of justice, and call me prepared text and

980
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: the things that came out today. What I thought was

981
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: interesting today is this whole idea that Comey is is

982
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: kind of looks to me like he's just covering his backside,

983
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,959
Speaker 1: because remember he said he gave information to a friend,

984
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: a small professor of Columbia, who then linked to the

985
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: New York Times because he wanted to get a special prosecutor,

986
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: special counsel in this case. But this is the same

987
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: guy who resisted a special counsel in the I R

988
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: S situation, in the Clinton email scandal situation. But when

989
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: it comes to him personally, when it comes to his reputation, whatever,

990
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: then he wants a special council so much so that

991
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: he's got this reputation of being this amazing public servant.

992
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: But he leaks information to the New York Times his

993
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: own memo. By the way, I gotta tell you guys,

994
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: and I'm not hiding this side. I've now gotten three

995
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: audits from the I R S in the last three months.

996
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a deep state that hates me

997
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: in the I R S? And I pay all my

998
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: taxes are also I god forbid, I'd talk about it right. Yeah.

999
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: This is this, This is the scary thing. In America

1000
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: when you've seen what with what the I R S

1001
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: did and and this whole, this whole deep state phenomena,

1002
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: and some of the Bureaurarector were inbedded all across the

1003
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: federal agencies. Incidence, I talked about the deep state, and

1004
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: I get three I R S investigates and three months

1005
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure it's not connected at all. Congressman, Uh,

1006
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 1: well exactly. Let me go to Congressman Pratt. Welcome back

1007
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: to you, Congressman. Your perceptions of today? Yeah, hey, Sean, Well,

1008
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: I think Kim Jordans just teated up just right. And

1009
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: what's amazing is Comy a few months back recited all

1010
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: basically charges and statutes that were violated by Hillary Clinton,

1011
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: and then Comey said, but we don't have intent. And

1012
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: it's almost like you was setting her up because under

1013
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: the statutes, you don't need intent to prove that she,

1014
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, totally mishandled her server. And then you got

1015
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 1: the Attorney General on the tarmac talking to President Clinton

1016
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: in a plane. And then on top of that, you've

1017
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: got two billion dollars raised a lot of foreign money

1018
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: coming into the Clinton Foundation while she's Secretary of State,

1019
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: and you don't see any CNN, you know, all day

1020
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: affairs with the narrative being produced by the mainstream media

1021
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 1: on any of that. I think we do have statutes

1022
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: violated with Clinton. And Alan Dershwitz came out two weeks

1023
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: ago as a strong voice for civil liberty, said I

1024
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: proudly voted for Hillary, and but you have to show

1025
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: me what statute has been violated by Trump and he

1026
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: said Dershwit said, no statue have been violated. He even

1027
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: said that yesterday. If I'm not mistaken, he said it again.

1028
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: They were just a double standard, right, Yeah, And and

1029
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: interesting what did come out on Lauretta Lynch today and

1030
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: she wanted call me and appealed to call me to

1031
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,479
Speaker 1: use the exact language that the Clinton campaign was using,

1032
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: which those breathtaking and what did he do about that?

1033
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: But nothing? Um, And I think there is a certainly

1034
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: politics is playing a role in this. And his hatred

1035
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: for the president was clear and abundantly clear. Um and

1036
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: even admitted it when he said, yeah, I'm hopelessly biased.

1037
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: I was fired by the president. Uh. Congressman Meadows, I'm

1038
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: interested in your general perceptions and anything specific that stood

1039
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: out in your mind. Well, I think it was a

1040
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: real good day for the president on two fronts. One is,

1041
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: he's been telling the American people over and over again

1042
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: that he's not under investigation, and we finally have learned

1043
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours that indeed he wasn't

1044
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: under investigation, and that surprisingly was the only thing that

1045
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: didn't get leaked to the New York Times. But the

1046
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: other thing is is that you know, when we look

1047
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: at cross examination from both Senator Rubio and Senator Cotton, UH,

1048
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: it became very clear that the whole collusion and all

1049
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: the top line narratives that are out there, that there

1050
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: were phone calls made and this and that, that they

1051
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: just weren't true. And so UH, I think it's a

1052
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: good day for the president. Obviously, you know, you don't

1053
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: ever want to have these hearings. You don't have I

1054
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: want to have a director, former FBI director uh saying

1055
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: the things that he did. But overall, it's one of

1056
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: those UH days where you say, at least we know

1057
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: that the president did not clue to try to win

1058
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: the election, and let's allow the investigation to continue and

1059
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: and hopefully look at at other aspects to protect democracy.

1060
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's right that Hillary Clinton. I mean,

1061
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: you can't say she didn't have intent when she set

1062
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,479
Speaker 1: up a private email server and a mom and pop

1063
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: shop bathroom closet and deleted emails, uh that we now know,

1064
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: some of which were classified. And certainty, I mean he

1065
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: was talking all about all right, Russia, and we we've

1066
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: heard this. Russia has tried to influence past elections, this election,

1067
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: they'll do it in the future. Um, but they didn't.

1068
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 1: Not a single vote was impacted as far as Comy knows.

1069
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: And it's been said by others before. But I think

1070
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: on on Hillary Clinton, if the issue was intent, I

1071
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: can prove intent, and I think I can convince the

1072
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: jury of twelve uh pretty quickly that she intended to

1073
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: violate the law and avoid congressional oversight, and she mishandled

1074
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: documents and destroyed top secret information that ended up in

1075
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: the hands certainty, Congressman Jordan of Foreign Intelligence Services, you're

1076
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: exactly right again. I think I think the big takeaway

1077
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: is here was the president was not under investigation. He

1078
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: was both three times bye bye, Mr Comey that he wasn't.

1079
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: What's interesting to me is how different Mr. Comey and

1080
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: the and the FBI and Justice Department treated President Trump

1081
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: and anyone else. Right, He only makes memos of conversations

1082
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: he has with Mr Trump. No memos of when he

1083
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: talked to senior Justice Department officials regarding what happened with

1084
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Clinton and when on the tarmac. No memos when they

1085
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: when they when they decided to give Cheryl Mills immunity,

1086
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: No memos when they decided not to prosecute Bois Learner,

1087
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: all big issues. He never leased any information on any

1088
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: other case, but he does on this when to his friends,

1089
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: who gives it to The New York Times? Why was

1090
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: it always different with President Trump, someone who wasn't under investigation?

1091
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: And yet we're supposed to believe Mr Comey did everything

1092
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,439
Speaker 1: in the righteous and and and wonderful public servant way.

1093
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: I just don't buy it. And I think that's that's

1094
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: played out over the last twenty four hours when we

1095
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: see his testimony and saw what's the place today and

1096
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: the hearing. All right, stay right there, we gotta take

1097
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come back eight D nine fold.

1098
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: When Shawn is a toll free telephone number. Congressman Dave Bratt,

1099
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: Congressman Mark Meadows, Congressman Jim Jordan's all with the Freedom Caucus.

1100
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: I am an honorary member, but here that there is

1101
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: talk of throwing me out of the caucus. I don't

1102
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: have to get into that when we get back with

1103
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Congressman Mark Me. It was Congressman Jim Jordan's Congressman Dave Bratt,

1104
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: what about the Hillary Clinton question I was asking before

1105
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: the break, and that is that if we need intent,

1106
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Congressman Bratt, it's there. Yeah, No, that that's right, I mean,

1107
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: and and Comy laid that out in full detail. And

1108
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: so I mean, I hope to our own team, right

1109
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. Right now they're deciding whether they want to

1110
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: do healthcare after they yell and scream at us to

1111
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: do it, and so I hope they take up the

1112
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: time on our side. I hope Paul Ryan keeps keeps

1113
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: those investigations alive, as there actually is evidence there. And

1114
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: I just want to let your audience know up here,

1115
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: while all this is going on, great work is still

1116
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: being done. Manuchin came up today and gave us great

1117
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: news on tax reform. He gave us great news on

1118
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: other other work he's doing at his secretary position. And

1119
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: then Trump Also, you had people up on the hill

1120
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: today and education, workforce, they're working forward. Can you imagine

1121
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: once Donald Trump gets ahold the K to twelve education

1122
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: and talks about career and technical education and giving every

1123

Speaker 1: kid a pathway to a job, wait till he lights

1125
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: tremendous job behind the scenes. Is not getting any attention

1126
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: for a lot of great work he's doing up here

1127
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: on taxes, health care, and on especially the next year,

1128
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: you guys confident where if he's hitting at out of

1129
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: the park Congressman Meadows, are you confident that we're going

1130
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: to get the president's agenda done by the end of

1131
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: the year, And by that, I mean that health care

1132
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: is done, that is finally going to be finished at

1133
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: a conference and signed by the president put on his desk.

1134
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: We gotta get his his economic plan as tax reform

1135
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: plan in place, so you know, are we gonna begin

1136
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: to see the building of that wall that he's promised,

1137
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: Will we see energy independence? Are we going to see

1138
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: some of these things get done? I mean, I gotta

1139
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: be honest, I speak for a lot of conservatives were frustrated. Well,

1140
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: I can tell you as my good friend Jim Jordan

1141
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: would a we better get it done. I mean, that's

1142
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: what the people elected us to do. So am I confident?

1143
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: The answer is, I'm confident because we have a president

1144
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: at Pennsylvania Avenue that will not give up. You and

1145
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: I both know. We've had a number of conversations with

1146
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: not only the President but his his staff, and they're

1147
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: committed to making sure that we repeal and replace Obamacare.

1148
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: They're committed to tax reform, they're committed to infrastructure, they're

1149
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: committed to building the wall. And so do I see

1150
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: all of those things getting done? Yes, as long as

1151
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: the president has a willing partner. You've got three people

1152
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: on the line today that are certainly willing. But we've

1153
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: got to make sure that we do our point and

1154
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: we quit making excuses for not getting results. It's time

1155
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: that we produce. But I am confident that we're committed

1156
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: to make it work together and we want to do it.

1157
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: But you guys have suggested, and that is take off

1158
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: your August recess. I mean, don't you have a fourth

1159
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: of July recess? How long is that? Well, we've got

1160
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 1: a week there, We've got we believe that we need

1161
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:04,439
Speaker 1: to stay in even through UH and only take off

1162
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: for Christmas, Christmas, even Christmas, but stay in get it done.

1163
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: You know, some of my colleagues are not real happy

1164
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: that we took that position, but but all three of us,

1165
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Dave Brad, Jim Jordan and myself all believe that we

1166
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: need to be about the people's business and UH and

1167
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: make sure that we get some things on the president ask.

1168
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: You know, we we've got a legislative rolling in. All right,

1169
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine one Sean, Thank you, all all three

1170
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: of you. Thank God we have the freedom call because

1171
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: we need them. We'll take a quick break. We'll come back.

1172
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter, John Solomon, and Donald Trump Junior next director

1173
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: called me at the meeting in the Oval office where

1174
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 1: he made the request about Mike Flynn. Was that the

1175
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,439
Speaker 1: only time he asked you to hopefully let it go. Yes,

1176
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: And in that meeting, as you understood it, that was

1177
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: he was asking not about the general Russian investigation. He

1178
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: was asking very specifically about the jeopardy that Flynn was

1179
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: in himself. That's how I understood, yes, sir, And as

1180
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: you perceived it, while it was a request that he

1181
01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: hoped you did away with it. You perceived it as

1182
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: in order given his position to setting and the like

1183
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: and some of the circumstances. Yes, at the time, did

1184
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: you say anything to the President about that is not

1185
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: an appropriate request? Or did you tell the White House

1186
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: counsel that is not an appropriate request. Someone needs to

1187
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: go tell the President that he can't do these things. Why,

1188
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. You perceived the cloud to be the

1189
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Russian investigation in general, but the specific ask was that

1190
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: you would tell the American people what you had already

1191
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: told him, what you had already told the leaders of Congress,

1192
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: both Democrats and Republicans, that he was not personally under investigation,

1193
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: that he was asking you to do what you have

1194
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: done here today. Page six of your testimony, you say

1195
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: the first thing you say is he asked what we

1196
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: could do to quote unquote lift the cloud the general

1197
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Russian investigation, and you responded that we were investigating the

1198
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: matter as quickly as we could and that there would

1199
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: be great benefit if we didn't find anything to having

1200
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: done the work well. And he agreed. He re emphasized

1201
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: the problems that was causing him, but he agreed. So

1202
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: that since the President agreed with your statement that it

1203
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: be great if we could have an investigation all the

1204
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: facts came out and we found nothing. So he agreed

1205
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: that would be ideal. But this cloud is still messing

1206
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: up my ability to do the rest of my agenda.

1207
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Is that an accurate assessment of Yes, sir, he actually

1208
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: went further than that. He said, and if some of

1209
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: my satellites did something wrong, would be good to find

1210
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: that out. Well, that's the second part, and that is

1211
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: the satellites. He said, it's one of my satellites. I

1212
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: imagined by that he met some of the other people

1213
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: surrounding his campaign did something wrong. It would be great

1214
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: to know that as well. Yes, sir, that's what he said.

1215
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 1: So are those the other Are those the only two

1216
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: instances in which that sort of back and forth happened

1217
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: where the President was basically saying, and I'm paraphrasing here,

1218
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: it's okay, do the Russian investigation. I hope it all

1219
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: comes out. I have nothing to do with anything Russia. Uh,

1220
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: it'd be great if it all came out. If people

1221
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: around me were doing things that were wrong. Yes, But

1222
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: as I recorded it accurately, there that was the sentiment

1223
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,439
Speaker 1: he was expressing. So what it bears. It comes down

1224
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: to is the President has asked three things of you.

1225
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: He asked for your loyalty, and you said you would

1226
01:06:55,360 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: be loyally honest, honestly loyal, honestly loyal. Um the the

1227
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: he asked you on one occasion to let the Mike

1228
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: Flinton go because he was a good guy. By the way,

1229
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: you're aware that he said the exact same thing in

1230
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the press the next day, He's a good guy, has

1231
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: been treated unfairly, etcetera, etcetera. So I imagine your FBI

1232
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: agents read that. I'm sure the president's wishes were known

1233
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: to them, certainly by the next day when he had

1234
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: a press conference with the Prime Minister. Going back, the

1235
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: three requests were number one, be loyal. Number two, um

1236
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: let the Mike and Flinton go, He's a good guy,

1237
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: has been treated unfairly. And number three, can you please

1238
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: tell the American people what these leaders in Congress already know?

1239
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: What you already know. You've told me three times that

1240
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm not under personally under investigation. Those are the three

1241
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: things he asked. Yes, sir, you know this investigation is

1242
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 1: full of leaks left and right. I mean, we've learned

1243
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: more from the newspapers sometimes that we do from our

1244
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: open hearings for sure. Um. The ever wonder why, of

1245
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: all the things in this investigation, the only thing that's

1246
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: never been leaked is the fact that the president was

1247
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: not personally under investigation, despite the fact that both Democrats

1248
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: and Republicans and the leadership of Congress US knew that

1249
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: and have known that for weeks. I don't know. I

1250
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: find matters that are brief to the Gang of Eight

1251
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: are pretty tightly held in my experience, all right, for

1252
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: my estimation that the star of the day, Marc Rubio,

1253
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: the Senator from Florida, I mean, just tore it all apart, alright.

1254
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 1: So one time, like he said in the press, well,

1255
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,799
Speaker 1: I hope this goes away. And he did say that publicly,

1256
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: and he said it privately, and he also said, yeah,

1257
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: and if I'm not involved in anything with Russia, but

1258
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: if any of my satellites are, I would love for

1259
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: that to come out. And and never said stop the

1260
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 1: investigation in any way, shape, matter of form. And then

1261
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:39,799
Speaker 1: at a different time, comey because he's so angry, self serving,

1262
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: clearly seeking revenge, creating as much smoke as possible. Um.

1263
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 1: But yet it's the same guy that admits no, they

1264
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: never asked us to stop an investigation and anyway, joining

1265
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: us now for analysis to all of the Circuit news

1266
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: dot com senior editor is Sarah Carter John Solomon, the

1267
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: chief Opera any officer. Thank you both for being with us.

1268
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: What is your take out of all of this for

1269
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: both of you? Well, well, I you know, if you're

1270
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: talking to me, Sean, I mean, I'd say I took

1271
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: a number of things out of this uh hearing uh

1272
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: and it was surprisingly enough. I agree with you. I

1273
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: think Marco Rubio's questions were right on target. Um. I

1274
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: also think that Senator Burr asked some very good questions

1275
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,440
Speaker 1: and Senator Cornyn and others. I think there was revelation,

1276
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, the with Laretta Lynch that you know, for

1277
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: the first time you actually admitted it wasn't just out

1278
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: there in reports that that she had asked him, the

1279
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 1: former attorney general, to not call the Hillary Clinton UH

1280
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: investigation into her email server an investigation, to refer to

1281
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: it as a matter. And so we could see that

1282
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: there were two sides to this, that Comey was kind

1283
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: of in the middle, and you know, he kind of

1284
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: allowed himself to be snowballed, right, he talked about one candidate,

1285
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 1: but that didn't want to talk about another candidate. But

1286
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: then he did tell that candidate, which is you know,

1287
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: he did tell President Trump, no, you're not under investigation,

1288
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: but leeks just kept coming out, and that cloud just

1289
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 1: hung over him consistently. And I think now that has

1290
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 1: been definitively answered in this hearing. If it's not, I

1291
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 1: think people are just gonna be going. I mean, this

1292
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: is going to be usos because it's pretty much a

1293
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: fact now that President Trump is not under investigation. Well

1294
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: he's not under investigation. That's a very big important part

1295
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: of all of this. You know. The whole idea that

1296
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: he said, well are you are you loyal? Um, John,

1297
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: I I think you can take honest loyalty. The responding

1298
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: answer from call me as well, call me basically saying

1299
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: the same thing, and he said, good, that's what I want, Um,

1300
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: was it loyalty? And as much as well, I'm a

1301
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: new president now, I don't want you to be leaking

1302
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: to the old president. I don't want you to be

1303
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: a deep state guy. I want you to follow the Constitution.

1304
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: And there's all sorts of ways to interpret that isn't

1305
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 1: there I do. I think so, And I think even

1306
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: called me himself, said sure what the president meton and

1307
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: he openately is seated that honest loyalty would be something

1308
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: he could agree to. Right, So I think I want

1309
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: to go back to Marco Ruby. I wanna have a

1310
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 1: little fun with him. Done just one little thing he said.

1311
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: One he had an amazing question period. He said one

1312
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: thing that I want to correct publicly. He said, the

1313
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 1: story of President Trump never being under investigation never leaked,

1314
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: and he's wrong on one point. Circa reported on May

1315
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: eleven's from sources that President Trump had been assured he

1316
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,719
Speaker 1: was not under investigation and that Congress has been assured

1317
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: and we were the one people, and then you brought

1318
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: it on your show. So I guess we're the only

1319
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: folks that acknowledged it. You know what I had forgot,

1320
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 1: I even forgot that. I'm I would have a little

1321
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: fun with Mark. I mean, he had a great moment

1322
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,639
Speaker 1: today and in quick go ahead, go ruin his great moment.

1323
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 1: What do you care as long as it makes you

1324
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: and you give a little I mean, charge heard the

1325
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: three um but he but he also was encouraging home

1326
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,639
Speaker 1: to continue the investigation, there's any other satellites here, anybody

1327
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: in my circle, Look, I think that there is. It's

1328
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: very interesting because a lot of the senators kept saying

1329
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: before the hearing and before Comey came out with his

1330
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 1: opening statement yesterday, there's a lot of smoke, but there's

1331
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: no fire. The headline after the hearing is there's no fire.

1332
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 1: There's no there there that I see in any way shape,

1333
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: matter of form. No obstruction, no abuse of power, nothing unusual.

1334
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: If if maybe, if I was, if I was going

1335
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 1: to say that maybe the President shouldn't have been talking

1336
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 1: to the FBI director. But this FBI director, Sarah, made

1337
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: no attempts on his own to say, sir, just so

1338
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're a separate, independent agency, and that's not

1339
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: something we talk about. He never did that himself. All

1340
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: he was thinking about is what notes can I take

1341
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,639
Speaker 1: when I walk out of here, which I never did

1342
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: to Obama or Bush. It's the point that I repeated

1343
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: in the past too. You know, at that point, I mean,

1344
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: you're the director, you're the director of the FBI. You

1345
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: have got if you got there, if you got to

1346
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: that political position, you stood up to some pretty important people.

1347
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 1: At one point or another in your life. So if

1348
01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: you really felt that the President was trying to worth

1349
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: your hand on the Mike Slin investigation, and remember felt

1350
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: because the President only asked hope, he said, I would

1351
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 1: hope that you let this go. This is a good guy,

1352
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: you know. Um. But if he felt that that was

1353
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: obstruction at that point, this, you know, man with a

1354
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: very important position, former FBI Director Comy should have said,

1355
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: Mr President, one moment, we can't go into this. This

1356
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: is an ongoing investigation. I have separated myself from the

1357
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: White House. I'm independent. It's my duty to look at

1358
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: all the facts, and I will not discuss this with you.

1359
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 1: What I found really interesting, Sean, is that it validated

1360
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: the fact that President Trump had been told three times

1361
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 1: by Director Comy that he was not under investigation. By

1362
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 1: the way, wouldn't it be natural for him to say, well,

1363
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: I keep hearing it on TV every night, I'm sick

1364
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: of it, and I keep reading it in the newspapers.

1365
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 1: Can you please correct this now that you've told me

1366
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: three times? Yes? Yes, I mean I think I would

1367
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: have been a simple you know. I mean, once you

1368
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: get to that point, he should have either never told

1369
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 1: President Trump anything right, you should have said I can't

1370
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: discuss investigations, and then there would be a reason. But

1371
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: it's kind of That's the part that that that bothers

1372
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: me is the fact that he told him and then

1373
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: he refused to tell the public that. So it left

1374
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: this big dark cloud over President Trump and and stories

1375
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: that were inaccurate and stories that we're leaking everywhere. Yeah,

1376
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: and and John, let's my take. I think any you

1377
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,679
Speaker 1: would be natural for anybody that is in the public

1378
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: eye and all these stories are being written about them.

1379
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: They're under investigation, Russia Trump collusion, Russia Trump collusion, but

1380
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: he was never under investigation because they didn't have anything

1381
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: to guide them in that direction. Well, to think of this,

1382
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,560
Speaker 1: everyone who's called a watergate watergate involved the criminal investigation

1383
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: of a president. We now know that our president is

1384
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 1: not under investigation. You should throw watergate out with out

1385
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 1: the door. And if there's any smoke or any fire today,

1386
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 1: the only place that's burning in Rome is the news media.

1387
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:53,799
Speaker 1: Because James called me disassembled the New York Times, the CNN,

1388
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: ABC and many other major news organizations who were reported

1389
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 1: inaccurate fake news, and he did so really aut equivocally.

1390
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 1: ABC CNN, in New York Times, all the people who

1391
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: fanned the flames of of this big hearing today which

1392
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: turned out to be not as big. Uh. There were

1393
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: a lot of bad stories out there that made the

1394
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: President look bad when in fact they were not accurate.

1395
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 1: And I think the most important one was in New

1396
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 1: York Times, which claims on February fourteen that the President

1397
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: that there were intercepts showing collusion between the President's campaign

1398
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,839
Speaker 1: and Russia, and specifically Russian intelligence sources. And he flatly

1399
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: said today that story is not true. It's nonsense. And

1400
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: I think that that is an important moment that a

1401
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: lot of the media reports that have fanned this story

1402
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: have now been debunked by the guy who probably knows

1403
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 1: more than anyone else. So well said, and you guys

1404
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: were way ahead of the curve as you are with

1405
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: unmasking and surveillance. And at some point soon your hard work,

1406
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: the legwork you've been doing now for over a year,

1407
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: is going to come to fruition. And we seem to

1408
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: be getting closer and closer every day. We'll continue Sarah

1409
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: Carter John Solomon with us from Circuit News. Uh. Don

1410
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior will respond to today's hearing is also

1411
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the news right after the News

1412
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 1: at the half hour, and as we continue circuit news

1413
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: is Sarah Carter and John Solomon remain with us Donald

1414
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: Trump Jr. At the bottom of the half hour. Of course,

1415
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,839
Speaker 1: our top story today the testimony of former FBI director

1416
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,799
Speaker 1: disgruntled FBI Director James Comey. Did either of you sense

1417
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: what I have sensed here and that is a lot

1418
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,640
Speaker 1: of anchor, a lot of resentment on the part of

1419
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:29,599
Speaker 1: James Comey. Sarah, Well, you know, I think that there

1420
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: would be right, I mean, for for a former FBI director,

1421
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: James Comey, he was publicly fired. Uh, it's a very

1422
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 1: humiliating moment. I think that that would only be natural.

1423
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: And you know it did come out because he did

1424
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: talk about feelings in their right. I mean, such a

1425
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: good point he did. Yeah, he alluded to to President

1426
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 1: Trump and you know, his feelings and his body language

1427
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: and just the way that he talked about the whole situation,

1428
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: awkward silences. I mean, he's obviously prepared ring his first

1429
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: spine novel after this. Well, you know, he said, I

1430
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 1: think it's true is um of this. At one point, Sean,

1431
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: he said I'm hopeless, see biased because I got fired

1432
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 1: and I just can't tell you anything more than I

1433
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 1: have to take everything I say with that as a

1434
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: grain of salt. And I thought that was a very

1435
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: honest answer. Listen, that everything that's happened as colored just perception,

1436
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 1: and he knows that. I think at the end of

1437
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 1: the day, he gave a lot of people a lot

1438
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: of things, and he's going to come out of this

1439
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: looking a little bit better. Democrats aren't going to hate

1440
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 1: him as much. Republicans, I think we're very kind to

1441
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:29,679
Speaker 1: him at the end and said we appreciate your service.

1442
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:31,759
Speaker 1: And here's why. I think he gave a pretty honest

1443
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 1: accounting today of what he believes happened. And when you

1444
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: look at it, the idea of obstruction of justice gets

1445
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: undercut by his own account of the meeting, which is

1446
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,799
Speaker 1: the president didn't ask for the Russian investigation to be stopped.

1447
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: He did ask, hey, can you let my body off?

1448
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: But only if it's uh, I hope, I think are key?

1449
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: I hope not. I'm directing you. I hope if just

1450
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 1: because he fell down, that's a different thing. And just

1451
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,879
Speaker 1: because he felt that maybe it was an order that

1452
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 1: that's not what the words are. There's also a feeling

1453
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: I got I want to ask both of you this

1454
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: that James Comey be really really wanted to get him,

1455
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: but he knows that this didn't do it. Yeah, I mane.

1456
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't know whether his intention was to get Trump,

1457
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 1: but I do think that whatever he said today, it

1458
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 1: makes a pretty clear point. The President of the United

1459
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,640
Speaker 1: States is not under investigation. And I don't believe that

1460
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: what he described today would meet the normal test of

1461
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice unless we learn new facts that are

1462
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: currently not in the record, well not in the record

1463
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: and apparently not even being investigated, right sir? All right?

1464
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: And I think what's I think what's important here to

1465
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: shan And you know, if you're reading between the lines,

1466
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Comey referred a lot to his leadership team.

1467
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't the only one. I mean, look,

1468
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,879
Speaker 1: he's he's the director of the FBI. But upon everybody's account,

1469
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: those that support him in those that don't, uh, you know,

1470
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: within the FBI, he was not the day to day

1471
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: guy charged with the Russia investigation. That was up to

1472
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:54,879
Speaker 1: other people within the team, like you know, Acting Deputy

1473
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: Director Andrew McKay. But God is other people that are

1474
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 1: head of the counter intelligence a division of access to

1475
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: these to these investigations. So one of the questions I

1476
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: think people really aren't asking is you know, who was

1477
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 1: advising Comey on these investigations, what were they telling him why?

1478
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there were a lot of questions still un answered.

1479
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: I honestly felt that he put himself, as I've been saying,

1480
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:20,680
Speaker 1: in legal jeopardy, and that's something we've been talking at

1481
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: length about a teen US Code for, and that is

1482
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: he immediately is obligated under the law that if he

1483
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 1: felt an obstruction of justice was happening, and he kept saying, well,

1484
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why I didn't say it. I don't

1485
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: know why I didn't go to the Justice Department while

1486
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 1: he was probably going to recuse himself in two weeks.

1487
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: Doesn't get him off the hook really quick. John. Yeah,

1488
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: I think that there's no way he can now say

1489
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: that he thought it was obstructing of justice because he

1490
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: didn't report it. And I think the way he described

1491
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 1: the event, it didn't sound like obstruction justice. It sounded

1492
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: like a ham handed attempt by the president to just

1493
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: advocate on behalf of a friend, that's what I think

1494
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: it's going to turn out to be. All right, well

1495
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: said and great, uh great being ahead of the curve.

1496
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Thank you both. John Solomon and Sarah Carter, CIRCA News,

1497
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Jr. At the bottom of this half hour,

1498
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: all right, a special two hour edition of Hannity tonight

1499
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 1: ten to midnight. You don't want to miss it. Hannity,

1500
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: Fox News. Contrary to numerous false press accounts leading up

1501
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:15,440
Speaker 1: to today's hearing, Mr Comey has now finally confirmed publicly

1502
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: what he repeatedly told President Trump privately, That is that

1503
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:25,759
Speaker 1: the President was not under investigation as part of any

1504
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 1: probe into Russian interference. The president he Mr Comey also

1505
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: admitted that there is no evidence that a single vote

1506
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: changed as a result of any Russian interference. Mr Comey's

1507
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: testimony also makes clear that the President never sought to

1508
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: impede the investigation into attempted Russian interference in the two

1509
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen election, and in fact, according to Mr Komey,

1510
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 1: the President told Mr Comey, quote, it would be good

1511
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: to find out close quote in that investigation if there

1512
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 1: was quote some satellite associates of his who did something. Alright,

1513
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: twenty four now till the top of the hour from

1514
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: earlier today responding to the hearing James came a huge

1515
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 1: day for the president. That was his attorney speaking after

1516
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 1: it afterwards, Mark uh Kasowitz, who put that out, And

1517
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: that's only a part of a very strongly worded statement

1518
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 1: rebuttal response to all the James Comey said and how

1519
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 1: he contradicted himself in so many ways. Today, uh speaking

1520
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: now for the first time on all of this is

1521
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:38,719
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Jr. I got to imagine on a personal level,

1522
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: this is probably heartwrenching for you too. You know, for

1523
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: months and months and months and thousands of hours of

1524
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: television coverage and print coverage. Um, you know, finally today

1525
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 1: it is comes out. Well. Number one, your father was

1526
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:54,719
Speaker 1: not under investigation ever at any point. He told the truth.

1527
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 1: And there's no Russian collusion, which means the black helicopter.

1528
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: The theories were blown out of the water. Three, the

1529
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 1: media was exposed for just getting so much wrong. And

1530
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: then you got Laretta Lynch. And then you've got a

1531
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: guy that's even admitting he's got a personal vendetta here

1532
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: because yeah, I was fired. Of course I have an agenda.

1533
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm hopelessly biased. Um, I think it went great, Sean.

1534
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,639
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's the shame we had to listen

1535
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: to this nonsense for ten months. Um. You know, it's

1536
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: a shame that the only thing I think Marco Rubio

1537
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 1: hit this, you know, right on the head. The only

1538
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: thing that hasn't been leaked about my father was that

1539
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: he was never actually under investigation because there's obviously nothing

1540
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: ever there. Um. But listen, in the end, I guess

1541
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 1: it was a really good day for us. Really bad

1542
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 1: day for Lauretta Lynch, but a really good day for us. Yeah,

1543
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: I agree with your assessment. But why do I just

1544
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: not I think the media is gonna stop anyway. I mean,

1545
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 1: they won't listen, they have made up their minds. But

1546
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: it's honestly, I think at this point it's working in

1547
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,759
Speaker 1: our favor because, you know, real people throughout the country

1548
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:58,679
Speaker 1: are seeing this nonsense. They're seeing this uh you know Pylon,

1549
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: uh of these agendas trying to get pushed. You know,

1550
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 1: when Comy himself says the New York Times story with

1551
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: the Russian nonsense and the you know, all the things

1552
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about, uh that that

1553
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, that even he's saying, Okay, that thing

1554
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 1: was totally false. That's a pretty pretty amazing, amazing thing

1555
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:21,720
Speaker 1: because that's literally what these people have hung their hat

1556
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: on for, you know, the last nine months. And so

1557
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: you know that won't go away. But you know what,

1558
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 1: you know that you're on the winning side when the

1559
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 1: Dow today hits a new all time high because the

1560
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: markets are looking at and saying, Okay, this is all

1561
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 1: this is a big nothing uh and and Trump has

1562
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: been vindicated. So I'm excited. Well, I I still imagine

1563
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: that they from their perspective, that the left perspective, there's

1564
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: been nothing your father can do, right, I mean you can't.

1565
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,240
Speaker 1: You know that They'll keep saying, oh, he was trying

1566
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: to influence the Flynn thing. Listen, you know my father

1567
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: pretty well, him saying, hey, I hope the thing can

1568
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: go away. We both agree, I meaning Comey and him

1569
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,679
Speaker 1: both agreed. Flynn's a good guy. They both know him personally,

1570
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,599
Speaker 1: say hey, I hope, Hey, you gotta do your job,

1571
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, all of the equal if there's nothing there,

1572
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,719
Speaker 1: let it go away. I mean, by the way, guys

1573
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: talking like human beings. I know Tommy may not be

1574
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 1: capable of that. You know, everything's but you know it's

1575
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: so clear and so obvious. But rather than take uh,

1576
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, or give him a benefit of the doubt,

1577
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: rather than take the point nine percent chance that there's

1578
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: something that they want to run with the point two percent.

1579
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:32,759
Speaker 1: Yet meanwhile, Comy doesn't report that he doesn't do anything,

1580
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't take it to a higher level. Why that's

1581
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 1: the whole points why he himself is breaking the law

1582
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 1: by doing it. So it's amazing. Now when Loretta Lynch

1583
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,440
Speaker 1: asked him to turn something, you know, from an investigation

1584
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: to a matter, he jumps and says, how high? I

1585
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 1: mean you want to talk about obstruction of justice? Are

1586
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: you kidding me? You know, I said to you from

1587
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: the very beginning privately, and I even kidded with you

1588
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 1: on the air, you should really be there because I mean,

1589
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: your intellect is keen, and and obviously you love your dad,

1590
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: and there's some people you know that I it just

1591
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 1: drives me crazy that they can't put two sentences together

1592
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 1: in terms of defending your father, like Paul Ryan. But

1593
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: you know, let me go back to this whole general

1594
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: flint issue. I Jesus, poor guy, I hope it goes away.

1595
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 1: Everybody that knows your dad. I know, I actually hear

1596
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 1: him in my ears saying it because I know that's

1597
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 1: how he is. But everybody seems to have forgotten that

1598
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 1: he was on sixty minute. Oh I don't want the Clintons.

1599
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 1: They're good people. I mean, come on, the election is over. Yeah,

1600
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 1: I know my crowds and lock her up, But you know,

1601
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I hope that goes away. I mean, is

1602
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 1: it any difference, It's the same thing. It's not, It's

1603
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: it's exactly. I guess he's not the person that really

1604
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: likes to fire people in real life, that's for sure.

1605
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: But you know, the whole thing with me. I had

1606
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 1: some fun with it on social because I'm watching it

1607
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 1: and it's just, I mean, it's mind boggling. I mean,

1608
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: this is the guy that's the director of the FBI,

1609
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: the guy in charge. You're saying, well, if I was

1610
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: a stronger man, I might have actually followed the law

1611
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: if I thought I was being pressure. I mean, who

1612
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: is this guy kidding? I mean, is this guy that

1613
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: weak and feckless that he sits there and said, okay, well,

1614
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's it's said. I mean you

1615
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't think that someone it's more than that level of power.

1616
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: And on that little he admitted today, my opinion, my interpretation,

1617
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:24,640
Speaker 1: he came very close. He's he's probably himself if we

1618
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,759
Speaker 1: ever did follow the law in this country. But obviously

1619
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: there's a two tier justice system. But a ten US

1620
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 1: Code for says that if any point during his time,

1621
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: as in his position as FBI direct or anyone in

1622
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 1: that position, if they in fact believe somebody is trying

1623
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 1: to get them to obstruct justice, the word is in

1624
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 1: the law, immediately must go to the Attorney General and

1625
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 1: the authorities and tell them. So he doesn't do that,

1626
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: and he said he doesn't do anything. But when La

1627
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: La Rena Lynch asked him about it, he'd not only

1628
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:00,639
Speaker 1: does he do exactly what she said, but he isn't reported.

1629
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the double standards. It's so sick, Sean, it's

1630
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 1: hard to believe. And again that's why I think the

1631
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:11,719
Speaker 1: markets are reacting this way, because I meant, they see

1632
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 1: it and they see what it is. It's a witch hunt.

1633
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,879
Speaker 1: And these guys you know that are you know, dwellers

1634
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: of the swamp. You know they want to get their

1635
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: big government contracting jobs, and they're gonna do all these things,

1636
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: and that's what you know, that's all it is. They're

1637
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,839
Speaker 1: protecting themselves. And you know, right, I can understand that, perhaps,

1638
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: but we're not doing the people of this country's service

1639
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: by doing that. You know that they wasted ten months

1640
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: using this as a way to obstruct my father's agenda,

1641
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: as a way to obstruct him, you know, bringing jobs

1642
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 1: back to this country, putting Americans to work, creating tax reform,

1643
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: getting rid of excessive and obtrusive regulations, all the things

1644
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 1: that he's trying to do. I mean, they're literally using

1645
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 1: this nonsense that's cloud holding it over his head to

1646
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,480
Speaker 1: make it more difficult for him to do the things

1647
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: that are going to benefit the American public, and that

1648
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: to me is sick. It is this selection was very

1649
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 1: specifically about forgotten men and women in in poverty and

1650
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 1: out of work and on food snaps. Let me go

1651
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: back to the audio of the President's attorney, Mark Casalwitz,

1652
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: and I want to play in particular where he calls

1653
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 1: out the memo leaking of James Comey. Mr Comey also

1654
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: testified that immediately after he was terminated, he authorized his

1655
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: friends to leak the contents of those memos to the

1656
01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 1: press in order to, in Mr Comey's words, quote, prompt

1657
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: the appointment of a special counsel close quote. Although Mr

1658
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: Comy testified that he only leaked the memos in response

1659
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 1: to a tweet, the public record reveals that The New

1660
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:50,799
Speaker 1: York Times was quoting from those memos the day before

1661
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: the reference tweet, which belies Mr Comey's excuse for this

1662
01:28:56,160 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: unauthorized disclosure of privileged information and appears to be entirely retaliatory.

1663
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 1: I think that just says it right there. I think,

1664
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 1: I think without question. I mean, let's just look, just

1665
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: look at the fact pattern with the same stuff, the

1666
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 1: way he conducted himself differently with my father versus Loretta Lynch,

1667
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: the Clinton's all the sudd he didn't take notes with

1668
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 1: his meetings with Obama, even though the strange that he

1669
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:22,760
Speaker 1: he only met with him twice. Uh, I mean, it's

1670
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 1: just you can see that he's picked the five and

1671
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: that's okay, I mean, that's that's d C. But you

1672
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't think you'd see that at this level trying to

1673
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 1: take down someone who's just doing something so honestly a man. Now,

1674
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 1: let's get back to work. Let's put Americans to work.

1675
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: Let's bring money back into this country. Let's get tax

1676
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,520
Speaker 1: reform done, Let's end the disaster that is known as Obamacare.

1677
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 1: Let's get to work. That's all my father's wanted to do.

1678
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 1: That's why he did this. He didn't do this to

1679
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,600
Speaker 1: have to answer to nonsense, to have to, you know,

1680
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: deal with witch hunts perpetrated by you know, guys like

1681
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,599
Speaker 1: this and the left wing media. I mean literally, we're

1682
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: finding out today that ten months of their number one

1683
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:04,679
Speaker 1: talking point, number one talking point, it's total crap. Sean, Alright,

1684
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 1: so let's get back to work. You know, you have

1685
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,879
Speaker 1: a better attitude maybe than I would. Look I recently

1686
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 1: went through it. Listen, I'm I'm very upset about it.

1687
01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:17,519
Speaker 1: But like now, there's no use, big boy. Uh listen,

1688
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:19,599
Speaker 1: I appreciate. Listen. I'm gonna tell you how I view

1689
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: all of this. And you're right about the ten months

1690
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 1: and the media is involved, and I say your the

1691
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: president as a number of enemies, the deep state, the

1692
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 1: Democrats and abusively biased media, weak Republicans that never liked them,

1693
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:32,559
Speaker 1: and then of course the never trumpers that want to

1694
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 1: be relevant again. But combined, it's the equivalent of a

1695
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 1: political kill shot. There was a political there was a

1696
01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 1: political kill shot, you know, a literally a you know,

1697
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:46,760
Speaker 1: right at my heart and my head by trying to

1698
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 1: take out my advertisers. Recently, there is there is a deep,

1699
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 1: deep resentment for anybody that doesn't have a particular point

1700
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 1: of view or takes on this swamp or this deep state.

1701
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:58,720
Speaker 1: I get it. I I've seen it myself. I mean,

1702
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, you see this off. Whether it's the Candy

1703
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 1: Griffin nonsense. I mean, she took for twelve hours what

1704
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:07,280
Speaker 1: my father takes on a daily basis for the last

1705
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 1: two years. It's really it's twelve hours, and and basically

1706
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: has a breakdown on TV and all of a sudden

1707
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:18,519
Speaker 1: starts victim blaming when when she did something disgusting that

1708
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:21,679
Speaker 1: basically all all sides agree was disgusting, and and now

1709
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,839
Speaker 1: she runs her around victim blaming. I mean it's laughable.

1710
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this is someone who attacks people for a living.

1711
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the cars are turned, the tables

1712
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 1: are turned a little bit, and there's a total and

1713
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: utter meltdown. I mean that's the other side. And I

1714
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 1: think again, like I said, I think regular Americans are

1715
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:41,120
Speaker 1: starting to see that. I think they're starting to put on,

1716
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, their filter for what they see in the media,

1717
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 1: and and honestly, they just want to get back to work.

1718
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:50,639
Speaker 1: You know, It's it's been tough. Look, I just do

1719
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 1: I do think it's gonna go on. I do think

1720
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:55,000
Speaker 1: that obviously you've got Mueller and his thing. But I

1721
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 1: do think today today was a major victory in in

1722
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:00,759
Speaker 1: all the different ways. And I think the biggest story

1723
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 1: to come out of this is what your father had

1724
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 1: been saying. Number one is that he's not being investigated.

1725
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 1: Number two, there was no collusion. Uh. Number Three, the

1726
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:12,680
Speaker 1: media has been recklessly wrong, repeatedly wrong in all of this.

1727
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 1: Number four, the double standard with Laretta Lynch, as you've

1728
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:18,599
Speaker 1: been pointing out in the Clintons, is so transparent. Uh

1729
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:22,559
Speaker 1: Comey never really thought it rose to any level because

1730
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 1: he never did anything about it. You know, he would

1731
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:29,679
Speaker 1: have otherwise resigned or reported it, and he didn't. And

1732
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 1: uh So at this point, I guess it's just well

1733
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of sorry, you know, liberal commentators that are

1734
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 1: going to be crying in their suit that Watergate two

1735
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,639
Speaker 1: has not arrived yet. We're gonna get to hear about

1736
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 1: it for two to three weeks, it's gonna be you know,

1737
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 1: three weeks to to three just goes on. But you know,

1738
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:47,600
Speaker 1: what can you do? This goes no, no, no, you

1739
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 1: don't understand, this goes on through part. Yeah. They will

1740
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 1: drag it out because that's the problem. It's all they

1741
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 1: got because everything else has been so good. Dad was

1742
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 1: breaking records, People are going back to work. Employment numbers

1743
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 1: are awesome. Uh. You know, he's cutting regulation that you know,

1744
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 1: the prior administration is forced through. I mean, he's not

1745
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: actually just forcing new laws on people. He's just getting

1746
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:12,040
Speaker 1: rid of the old prep that no one actually cares about.

1747
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:14,600
Speaker 1: And there's just been a disaster for small business and

1748
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 1: big business alike. You know, that's what people want to see,

1749
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, let him do his job, Let him do it.

1750
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:21,640
Speaker 1: They letted to do, but you know they wanted to,

1751
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 1: you know, keep them busy with these smoke streams. But

1752
01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:26,960
Speaker 1: I think today was really great in the sense that

1753
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 1: it picked up the veil on what's actually going on

1754
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 1: out there. So let's get back to work, let's get

1755
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 1: it done, and let's let him keep fighting for the

1756
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 1: American people. All right. I hope we get to see

Speaker 1: dad today. Media won't see it that way, but they

1762
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 1: didn't get what they wanted. They wanted Watergate, they wanted

1763
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 1: they wanted the collusion as bad as anything they've ever

1764
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:57,479
Speaker 1: wanted in their life. They didn't get it. And you're right.
