1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: That was just why people love and fight so hard

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. Earlier today, glad you with us eight

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: hundred and nine for one, Shawn, if you want to

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: be a part of the program, so the president, the

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: Vice president of there. The body language is priceless, it

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: really is. And I'll play parts of it here. Maybe

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: we'll play more of it later. But just amazing exchange

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: with Pelosi and Schumer. Now, I remember, we've got the

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: old Democrats, and at some point in the program I'll

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: replay for you the Democrats in the Obama years sounded

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: just like Donald Trump on the border, on illegal immigration,

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: on the wall, on everything, and that it means all

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: of them, including Hillary, including Obama, including Schumer, including Pelosi,

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: they were all in the same spot. By the way,

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: there's just breaking in the Washington Post. It just doesn't

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: get any better than this. Moments after returning to Capitol

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Hill after an oval office stand with President Trump, House

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi questioned Trump's manhood. I'm not making

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: this up in the Washington Post. I swear no where

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: did I get it? Hang on? Maybe not the Washington Post. Yeah,

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: it's Washington Post manhood and said the border wall is

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: a matter of masculine pride. Wow, it's like a manhood

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: thing for him, as if manhood could ever be associated

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: with him. This wall thing, she said, Well, this wall thing.

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: You know, you would think that maybe she would recognize

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: that there were many angel moms and dads out there

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: like Kate Steinley, I believe was in San Francisco and

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: what happens sometimes when illegal immigrants. But of course she

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: lives in a sanctuary state, in a sanctuary city. And

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: she made the remarks in a Democratic Caucus committee meeting

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: where she was recounted, which were recounted by an aide

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: president and not authorized to comment. She told the colleagues

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: that she was trying to be a mom in the

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,279
Speaker 1: room while Trump and Chucky Schumer bickered about coming about

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: the coming funding a showdown on the wall. But she

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: had described Trump's admission during the seventeen minute on camera

37
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: battle that he would be proud to shut the government

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: down as a political triumph. You know, there's a myth

39
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: that somehow these government shutdowns hurt Republicans. They don't remember

40
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: they said that when Ted Cruz had the nerve to

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: dare to go up and do a real filibuster for

42
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: like twenty four hours and were they blaming him for

43
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen ended up being a great year for Republicans

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: as it relates to the Senate. Let me just play

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: a couple of the key moments just to give you

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: a flavor of what this was like in the Oval

47
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: office today, and we'll get to the heart of where

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: this is all headed and why this is good. Okay,

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: let us have our conversation now that you need would

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: the press again, But the fact is, is that legislating

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: and which is what we do? You begin to make

52
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: it to your point to state your case. That's what

53
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: the House would publicans do if they had the votes.

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: But there are no votes in the House majority of

55
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: votes for a wall, no matter where exactly right, you don't.

56
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: If I needed the votes for the wall in the House,

57
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: I would have them in one session. That would be done.

58
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: They'll do it. It doesn't help because we need ten

59
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: Democrats and the put put it on into Okay, let

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: me ask you this just and we're doing this in

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: a very friendly manner. It doesn't help for me to

62
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: take a vote in the House where I will win

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: easily with the Republicans when it doesn't help to take

64
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: that vote because I'm not going to get the vote

65
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: of the Senate. I need ten senators. That's the problem.

66
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: You have the White House, the Senate. I have the

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: White House. The White House is done, and the House

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: would give me the vote if I wanted it, but

69
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: I can't because I need Nancy. I need ten votes

70
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: from Chuck or let me say something. Let me get

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: say White done. The fact you do not have the

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: votes in the House, Nancy, I do. And we need

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: border security, Nancy, Nancy, we need border securities very severe.

74
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: We need border security injected and says, yeah, here's what

75
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: I want to say. We have a lot of disagreements here.

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: The Washington Post today gave you a whole lot of

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: pinocchios because they say you constantly misstate how much the

78
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: wall is built, how much of the wall is built,

79
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: and how much is there. But that's not the point here.

80
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: We have a disagreement about the wall, Washington, whether it's

81
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: effective or or not. On board of security, but on

82
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: the wall. We do not want to shut down the government.

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: You have called twenty times to shut down the government.

84
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: Who say I want to shut down the government, We don't.

85
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: We want to come to an agreement. If we can't

86
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: come to an agreement, we have solutions that will pass

87
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: the House and Senate right now, and we'll not shut

88
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: down the government. And that's what we're urging you to do.

89
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: Not threatened to shut down the government because you let

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: me just finish for them, because you can't catch it

91
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: way you shut it down. Yet, let me say something

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: as the president, you just say my way, or will

93
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: shut down the government. We have a proposal that will

94
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans will support to do a cr that

95
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: will not shut down the government. We urge you to

96
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: take it. If it's not good border security out it

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: is very good. If it's not good order security, I

98
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: will take it's because when you look at these numbers

99
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: of the effectiveness of our border security, and when you

100
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: look at the job that we're doing, what you said

101
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: it is effective. Can I be Can I tell you

102
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: something you just said, without a wall, these are only

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: areas where you have the wolf you want to do.

104
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: You have walls, Chuck, it's effective. Well, you don't have walls.

105
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: It is not effective. One thing I think we can

106
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: agree on is we shouldn't shut down the government over

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: a dispute and you want to shut it down, and

108
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: you're not talking about the last time, Chuck, you shut

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: it then no, no, no, and then you any time quickly.

110
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: And I don't want to do what you did twenty

111
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: times you have called for. I will shut down the

112
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: government if I don't get my wall, none of us.

113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: If you want to know something you said you want

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: to put them and said it, I'll take it. Okay, good,

115
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll say. Yes, if we don't get

116
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: what we want one way or the other, whether it's

117
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: through you, through a military, through anything you want to call,

118
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: I will shut down the governay, absolute enough, And I

119
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: am proud and I'll be disagree. I am proud to

120
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the

121
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: people of this country don't want criminals and people that

122
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country.

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: So I will take the mental. I will be the

124
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: you for it. The last time you shut it down,

126
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: it didn't work. I will take the mental of shutting

127
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: down and I'm going to shut it down for border.

128
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: But we believe you shouldn't shut it down. These are

129
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: only areas where you have the world want to do.

130
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: You have walls, Chuck, it's effective. Were you don't have walls,

131
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: it is not effective. Yeah, that's calohl to this. We've

132
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: come in here as the first branch of government, Article one,

133
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: the legislative places, but coming in good faith to negotiate

134
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: with you about how we can keep the government open.

135
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep it open if we have border security.

136
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: If we don't have border security, we're not going to

137
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: keep the doll mean, we haven't had lawyers and it's

138
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: the same border. You're bragging about what has been done.

139
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: But we want to do the same thing we did

140
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: last year this year. That's our proposal. If it's good,

141
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: then it's good now, and it won't shut down the

142
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: check we can build up in private. Let's debate in private.

143
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: This is not going well for me. This has to

144
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: end right now. You know, this is what people want

145
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: in terms of if you're gonna fight, fight for something

146
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: the American people that you promised the American people you do.

147
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: This is what was missing when Trump first gets in

148
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: the office in twenty seventeen. All those Republicans have voted

149
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: sixty five times to appeal and replace. We're nowhere to

150
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: be found. If they would have fought like that, all

151
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: of those people, we would have repealed and replace all

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: of it. We only got rid of the individual mandate

153
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: because that was thrown into another supplemental bill of some kind.

154
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: Now it's the same thing with the wall. What the

155
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: President is saying. The polls show absolutely dramatically that the

156
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: American people we you, we the people want border security.

157
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: It's really that simple. There's a January twenty eighteen Havid

158
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: Harris Pole where eighty one percent of those surveys want

159
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: immigration slashed, seventy nine percent want secure borders, seventy nine

160
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: percent want merit based immigration, sixty eight percent want an

161
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: end of the visa lottery, sixty five percent want a

162
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: dock a deal with no amnesty, sixty one percent say

163
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: the current border is inadequate and say no docer relatives,

164
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: and fifty four percent won the wall. It's a winning issue.

165
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: I'll take responsibility. Yeah, I'm going to shut down the government.

166
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: Is this is what's been missing. Like the seven Senators

167
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen that voted just to repeal Obamacare, the

168
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: same exact bill, same exact language, and they, oh, they

169
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: didn't really mean it in twenty fifteen when it would

170
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: have mattered. In twenty seventeen, they were nowhere to be found.

171
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty pathetic, but it's they keep trying to get

172
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: this president to back down on the border wall, and

173
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: he's not gonna do it. He's only asking for five billion,

174
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: he's not asking for all of it. We have three

175
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: and a half i think or four billion already allocated

176
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: to it. And the president and they want to we're

177
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: gonna blame you, and he said, I'll take that. I

178
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: won't blame you. I'll absolutely I'm gonna I'm gonna fund

179
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: the wall, or blame me. Now these government shutdowns, essential

180
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: services all continue. Everyone gets their Social Security check. That's

181
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: hospitals they open, Our Defense department is up and running,

182
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: and intel services. It's you know what happens when government shutdowns.

183
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: You got a bunch of bureaucrats that get a free

184
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: vacation because we always end up giving them back pay

185
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: for whatever time or days they have off. Now they

186
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: can try all they want. Maybe they think that Mitch

187
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: McConnell is afraid of a government shutdown, and maybe he is,

188
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: but it is a top priority that the President you know,

189
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: for whatever reason Republicans have felt under Obama now under Trump,

190
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's in office, they don't want to get blamed.

191
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why Paul Ryan is almost as afraid

192
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: of a showdown and shut down as Mitch McConnell. Maybe

193
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: he just hides it a little better. But the problem

194
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: for Chuck and Nancy is they're not dealing with Paul Ryan.

195
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: They're not dealing with Mitch McConnell. If they were, they'd

196
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: be able to steamroll the GOP within a few minutes.

197
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: You got a president that's saying, no, it's not going

198
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: to continue. We're going to fulfill a promise, and I'm

199
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: going to fight to fulfill the promise. And if that

200
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: means you don't want to fund it, that's fine, but

201
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: there are going to be ramifications and he's holding the line. Now.

202
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: Another good thing that's happened in all of this Lindsey Graham.

203
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: He's saying the exact say, this is the fight we're

204
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: going to have. He needs to dig in, meaning the

205
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: president and a liberal arrogance, take it on and stare

206
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: it down. This is a new and revitalize Lindsey Graham,

207
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: which I'm very happy to see. Now. The President also

208
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: said in his warning congressional democrats, remember he's just sent

209
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: down the military to build and put up the you

210
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: don't call it barbed wire, what is it razor wire

211
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: fences down there, which were very helpful, and the lead

212
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: up to the caravan coming, and we saw what happened

213
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: when some of them tried to bang down one of

214
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: our borders, and bottles and rocks were be impelted at

215
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: at our border troops and ice agents down there. Anyway,

216
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: so the AP reported the President threatened repeatedly today to

217
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: shut down the government if Congress doesn't provide the money. Now,

218
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: notice he kept the press in the room for that exchange.

219
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: Chuck ship, we want to do this in private. Why

220
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: because then they can come out and mischaracterize what happened

221
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: in private. So Trump's comments come as he opened this

222
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: contentious meeting with Schumer and Pelosi, and they both said

223
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: legislation to keep the government open and provide additional border

224
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: security could pass. But Chuck has said, well, I want

225
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: a fence. We don't need a wall a fence. I

226
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: got a chain link fence. I can tell you that

227
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't I have deers sometimes running in my backyard.

228
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: They leap over it like it's nothing. I mean, people

229
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: just cut through a wire fence, simple and easily. And

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: the purpose is to keep people safe on both sides

231
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: of the border, to protect American laws and American sovereignty,

232
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: and to stop what we now know that sixty seven

233
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: percent of people that are in this country illegally, that

234
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: they are on American assistance at a greater rate, sixty

235
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: seven percent greater rate than the American people. We know

236
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: now a study that came out weeks ago, seventy thousand

237
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: dollars per illegal immigrant in this country. We the taxpayers,

238
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: we foot the bill that's for the educational system, the

239
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: healthcare system, the criminal justice system. And then of course,

240
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: on top of it, you have people that we noticed

241
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: in the caravan. We identified between us in Mexico, six

242
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: hundred criminals that we're trying to get across the border.

243
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: If you have an open border, they can get in.

244
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: Anything like the caravan would ever cease to happen if

245
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: you had the border wall properly built all the way

246
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: across the southern border. So I like this, this is

247
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: what you know. Everyone says, well, the president fights too

248
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: much on Twitter okay, but when he's fighting to keep

249
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: the promises he made, it's worth it because this needs,

250
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: this fight needs to happen. And let me tell you,

251
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi going back to our caucus and talking about

252
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: his manhood shows that they are just they are out

253
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: of their league in terms of negotiating and dealing with

254
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: the President. And they can throw all the subpoena cannons

255
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: they want at them, it's not going to matter. And

256
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, just like campaign finance,

257
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: no that's not a problem either. Hey guys, remember when

258
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: you need gifts that you need to bring a smile

259
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: to somebody's face. One eight hundred flowers dot com. They

260
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: have to be your go to, whether it's a birthday,

261
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: an anniversary that slipped your mind, or maybe you just

262
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: want to get ahead and deliver something just because you

263
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: want them to know you're thinking about them. One eight

264
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: hundred flowers dot com. They have the deals, the bouquets

265
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: that are guaranteed to show people you love them. And

266
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: right now, when you order twelve peppermint roses for twenty

267
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: nine ninety nine, well, one eight hundred flowers will give

00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: you an extra half dozen roses and a vase absolutely free. Now,

269
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: that's up to forty percent off the original price. Permitt

270
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: roses from one eight hundred flowers dot com are picked

271
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,359
Speaker 1: at their peak and they're shipped overnight to ensure maximum freshness.

272
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Now to order twelve peppermint roses for twenty nine ninety

273
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: nine plus another half dozen roses and a free base,

274
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: just go to one eight hundred flowers dot com slash Hannity.

275
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: That's one eight hundred flowers dot com slash Hannity. But

276
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: you gotta hurry. This offer ends on Friday. You know,

277
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to start monitoring a little more. The

278
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: rising Democratic star Acasio Cortez apparently called war hero General

279
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: John Kelly a coward. Um. She just you know, the

280
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: things she's saying on a daily basis are just nuts.

281
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: You know that General Kelly lost his son fighting for

282
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: his country. And where's the apology. I'm sure that's forthcoming

283
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: any minute now, all right, eight hundred nine point on.

284
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: This is this is the showdown, This is is what

285
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: this We ought to be thankful for these moments that

286
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: finally and I know, you know, everyone talks to me about, well,

287
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: the president's style and he's he's combative and he fights,

288
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: and you know why does he always say these things

289
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: on Twitter? Because that's his nature. But when the president

290
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: fights and gets the reductions in the bureaucracy that lead

291
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: to the good news that we gave you yesterday, that

292
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: we're energy independent and now exporting more energy than we

293
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: have in seventy years. We have NATO now countries now

294
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: stepping up to pay their fair share. We have four

295
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: and a half million new jobs, four hundred thousand manufacturing jobs,

296
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: three and a half million people off the food stamp roles,

297
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: and you know, another four million out of poverty, first

298
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: time in seventy five years. The US is not dependent

299
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: on foreign oil. I mean, I mean, that's what you

300
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: want in a president. By the way, just as Kavanaugh, well,

301
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: that was not a good first ruling on his part.

302
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: Their early decision involving abortionity decided with the liberal left

303
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: of the court and declining to hear a case that

304
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: could have allowed states to defund planned parenthood in state

305
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: medicaid programs. And I think Clarence Thomas was not happy,

306
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: and you know it was very strong in his descent,

307
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: saying why are we punting? We'll continue smoking is not

308
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: about politics, it's about people. There are thirty four million

309
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: Americans that smoke. For me, Jewel was a game changer

310
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: because you switch to Jewel, It's simple, it's satisfying, and

311
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: no more smell. I watched people all the time they

312
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: run outside and the freezing coal could be grabbing their cigarette. Well,

313
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: with Jewel, you'll take a quick puff and you're good.

00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,440

317
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: the lives of adults smokers by providing a satisfying alternative.

327
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: needs border security. The wall is a part of voter security.

328
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: Let's have a talk. We're gonna get the wall built.

329
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: And we've done a lot of wall already. Bigger part

330
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: of border security is the wall. It's a big section.

331
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: It's a big part of it. Everything that you need,

332
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: it's a big part of it. We need to have

333
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: effective border security. We need a wall in certain parts. No,

334
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: not in all parts, but in certain parts of a

335
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: two thousand mile border. We need a wall. How much

336
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: money we are doing it? Much under budget? We're actually

337
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: way under budget the areas that we've renovated, in areas

338
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: that we've built. I would say if we got if

339
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: we got five billion dollars, we could do a tremendous

340
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: chunkle wall. Guests, well, we're gonna see, We're gonna see. Look,

341
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: we have to have the wall. This isn't a question.

342
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: This is a national emergency. Drugs are pouring into our country.

343
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: People with tremendous medical difficulty and medical problems hop pouring

344
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: in and in many in many cases that it's contagious.

345
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: They're pouring into our country. We have to have water security.

346
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: We have to have a wall as part of water security.

347
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: And that was the President allowing the press to stay

348
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: in this meeting with Chuck Schumer and with Nancy Pelosi

349
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schum Please please can we speak about this privately?

350
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: Pretty please? Um? And they're just you're gonna shut down

351
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: the government? What? How is a government shutdown? Why is this?

352
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: There always been an inordinate fear when every key part

353
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: of government stays up and running and is funded and

354
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: you just throw continuing resolutions at it and the military

355
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: and checks to seniors and nobody gets hurt. If anything.

356
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: The people that get free vacations, paid vacations ought to

357
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: be happy about it. But I'm not saying they don't

358
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: do important work. But I'm saying it never is the

359
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: great threat that people make it out to be. This

360
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: is about having been down that this is the opportunity

361
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: we have. This is the moment. And if you want,

362
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: if you ever want to be a politician, let me

363
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: tell you. My advice to you is, if you make promises,

364
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: keep them. If you promise to serve the people where

365
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: you live in your state and your district, then serve them,

366
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: not yourself. Asking people now, every time you watch what

367
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: they're calling the canons of subpoenas that they're going to

368
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: throw at the Trump administration every day, and Adam Schiff

369
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: and Gerald Nadler and everybody in company. It's not a

370
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: winning strategy because than not serving the American people, they're

371
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: serving their own political power grab agenda. Period. And as

372
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: you listen, as we start the new year next year,

373
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: we're going to follow these people like they've never been followed. There.

374
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: Every word, they're every comment, We will have every insane

375
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: thing they say. Nancy Pelosi leaves this meeting with Donald

376
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: Trump and says this is a manhood issue for him.

377
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: This wall, it's nut. They're nuts. I've been down there

378
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: at thirteen times. I've seen people arrested, seen a gang

379
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: member arrested. I've also watched the spending, the drug warehouses,

380
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: seen the tunnels, seen the vulnerability. You know, sixty seven

381
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: percent of people now higher percentage of people illegal immigrants,

382
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: that need government services, welfare, etc. And we're paying all

383
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: of this. I don't think it's too much to ask

384
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: that people respect our laws, our sovereignty, and they go

385
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: through the process legally. That's all we're asking. I don't

386
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: think it's that much to ask for. And I also

387
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: think On the political side of this, I mentioned the

388
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: poll before. It's a winning political issue. The Harvard Harris poll,

389
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: eighty one percent want immigration slashed, a seventy nine percent

390
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: want secure borders, seventy nine percent want merit based immigration.

391
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: Part of that means we vet the people and they

392
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: have to show they have the ability to take care

393
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: of themselves. While here sixty eight percent want to end

394
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: the visa lottery, sixty five percent want to dock a

395
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: deal with no amnesty, and sixty one percent say the

396
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: current border is inadequate and it is, and sixty percent

397
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: say no to docer relatives, and fifty four percent want

398
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: the wall. So the president, in true Trumpian form, is

399
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: standing by his words and that's what we want. And

400
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: he's saying, look, Chuck, too bad, this is what we need.

401
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: I am the commander in chief, Nancy Plosi. One point,

402
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: where the first branch of government where the legislative branch

403
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: of government. Right, he's the president and he's the executive

404
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: branch of government, and he's also the commander in chief.

405
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: Is part of his duties, and to stop human trafficking

406
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: and drug trafficking along our southern borders is a good idea.

407
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: And it's costing every illegal immigrant according to a study

408
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: from a couple of weeks ago, seventy grand per illegal immigrant. Well,

409
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: we have plenty of Americans that need help here. First,

410
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: not against having a big door in an open legal

411
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: immigration system, but it's got to be legal certain things anyway.

412
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: So the President also is saying repeatedly that hey, listen,

413
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: if I have to, I'll have the military build it. Now.

414
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting as we watch that to

415
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: watch Democrats arguing they're going to claim the military is

416
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: no business protecting America from thousands of illegal immigrants that

417
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: are invading our borders. Democrat Bernie Thompson, they up becoming

418
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: a Homeland Security chairman, said using the military to build

419
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: the wall just doesn't make any sense. I can think

420
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: of a lot more important things we could do with

421
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: the military than build a fence. We're not building a fence,

422
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: we're building a wall. On the other hand, you got

423
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: key Republicans Republican chairman of the Senate Arm Services Committee

424
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: Appropriations committees both saying today that they would consider the

425
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: president's newest suggestion that in fact, the Pentagon build the

426
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: southern border wall. And if that's what it comes down

427
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: to Richard Shelby, Senator Appropriations Committee chair, who would oversee

428
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: the Pentagon spending on a border wall, said, the President

429
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: has got a lot of leeway on all of this

430
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: because under the Constitution, he has the right and the

431
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: duty to defend the nation and protect the borders and

432
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: everything that goes with it. Jim Inhoff, Senate Arm Services

433
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Committee said he spoke with the President last week about

434
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: his bill that raises what he says is enough revenue

435
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: to pay for the wall. Directing the military to build

436
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: the wall, possibly out of military construction funds, could also

437
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: be an option if if they push, If the push

438
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: by Inhoff and other defense appropriators, you know, works for

439
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty billion dollar defense budget plan that

440
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: is coming next year. That's a big amount of money,

441
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: and certainly we have other areas that need fixing, but

442
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: this is priority number one. This is gonna be fun

443
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: to watch. I'll tell you that. We'll get back to

444
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: this later in the program today. You know what's amazing

445
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: something to watch. There are hundreds of Congressmen that paid

446
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: apparently millions of dollars in taxpayer funded hush money to

447
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: those that are claiming some type of sexual harassment or worse.

448
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: You know, with all the talk, I wonder how many

449
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: of these are Democrats. Now. The problem is, you know,

450
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: everyone's making arguments that's somehow a non disclosure agreement that

451
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: the President might have gone into with somebody twelve years ago.

452
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: And these agreements are far more common than you ever think.

453
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, people will say, all right, well it's worth

454
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: this much if I litigate it and I got whatever,

455
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: I don't need the headache. Let's just we'll come to

456
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: a deal whatever happens. So sometimes it's done for those reasons,

457
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: sometimes for legitimate reasons, and it's hard to know the difference.

458
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: But that's an individual making an agreement on their own

459
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: using their own money. Very different if you work for

460
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: the government. For example, if the House wants to really

461
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: push this issue of a campaign finance violation, I said, well,

462
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: let them push it as hard as they want to

463
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: push it. Because if you go back to November twenty seventeen,

464
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: it was The New York Post that broke the story,

465
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: telling the story of Representative Jackie Spire that millions of

466
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: dollars had been doled out to allege victims of harassment

467
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: from congressional members over the past decade. Many of these

468
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: members still working there, and she testified the current members

469
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: of Congress who are known sex harassers, and that fifteen

470
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: million dollars in taxpayer hush money has been made to accusers.

471
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: So as you hear the sanctimony over, well, we couldn't

472
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: get them on Russia. There's no Russian collusion at all.

473
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: And their hopes and dreams what they would get out

474
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: of Muller's filings last Friday didn't come to fruition. Then

475
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: they all settled on a well, we think he broke

476
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: a campaign finance law and I'm watching this unfold here. Well,

477
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then well then I think we

478
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: have a pretty strong case about campaign finance violations as

479
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: it relates to oh maybe Hillary Clinton. And that case

480
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: was made in a piece by Mark Penn because the

481
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: Steel dossier was at least partially paid for by the

482
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: DNC Committee law firm. Remember they funneled money the Clinton campaign,

483
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: and Donna Brazil claimed that Hillary was in charge of

484
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: the DNC money. Remember how Mark Penn points out in

485
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: The Hill Today that Hillary's payments to Christopher Steele were

486
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: first funneled through her campaign lawyer and laundered, remember was

487
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: sent to Perkins Cooey apparently not even what's that James

488
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: call me, didn't know who Perkins cooee was. And I

489
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: don't believe that either, as he was saying, I don't

490
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: remember two hundred and fifty times, but then laundered through

491
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: Fusion GPS to hire a foreign national to come up

492
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: with the phony Russian lies that they used to influence

493
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: the American people consciously in the election of twenty sixteen.

494
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: How Robert Muller and the Pitbull, Andrew Weisman and Company

495
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: and Genie Ray are not focused on that as a miracle.

496
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: Steele DOCA was paid in part by the Democratic National Committee.

497
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: They used to cut out on the FEC forms by

498
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: saying it was a legal expense. It's settled law, as

499
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: Mark Penn points out that the ultimate recipient, not some intermediary,

500
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: must be disclosed in cases along with the proper use category,

501
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: so it was not a legal cutout. Yet to complaint

502
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: against the DNC and Hillary's campaign is, you know, slowly

503
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: working its way through the FEC in the law firm.

504
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: They've not been rated by prosecutors. We don't see anyone

505
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: making pleading guilty to felonies here. Muller prosecutors are looking

506
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: the other way on uranium one, and that's you know,

507
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: giving putin twenty percent of America's uranium, the foundational material

508
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: for nuclear weapons. We had a spy in there telling

509
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: Robert Muller himself about bribery, extortion, money laundering, and kickbacks,

510
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: and Muller's prosecutors look the other way on what a

511
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: campaign finance violation. You don't think this is going to

512
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: come up for Hillary and that they're going to get

513
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: away with this. It was a great post today by

514
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: the great one, Mark Levin on his Facebook page. You

515
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: know some stuff we already know. Sitting president campaign diided

516
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: that's official DOJ policy since seventy three. Neither the Special Counsel,

517
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: nor the SDNY Southern District of New York, or the

518
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein can defy a forty five

519
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: year old policy, so it's not an issue for the president,

520
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: you know. He points out also that you know, the

521
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: Southern District of New York they're not experts in campaign

522
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: finance violations, and either is the Clinton appointed judge district judge.

523
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: They rarely handle these cases now they've known him for

524
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: doing great work in the Southern District of New York,

525
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: especially on terrorism cases, in the Blind Shade case, and

526
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: so many others, and a lot of great lawyers, Andy McCarthy,

527
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani, John Sale, who's going to join us later.

528
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: They've all come out of there. But the media and

529
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: others intentionally refuse to actually look at what the real

530
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: rules and context are. And they would have you once

531
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: they didn't get anything Russia out of the Friday filings.

532
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: This is what they ran to, regurgitating what prosecutors have

533
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: merely filed in their own self serving briefs. Now, he

534
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: points out that the actual campaign rules and contexts do

535
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: not include nondisclosure agreements or infinite other contracts or payments

536
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 1: or arrangements acts of a private nature as campaign contributions.

537
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: In other words, especially twelve years ago, this is normal

538
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: human behavior. People have a right to end or into

539
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: agreements for whatever reasons they choose to do it. Private

540
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: payments can be made in any manner, any amount, and

541
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: again their private payments involving private parties, so there's no

542
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: reporting requirement because they're not campaign payments made with or

543
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: without campaign funds top of the fact that the president

544
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: can donate as much as he wants to his campaign

545
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: even if it was but it's not. And the Southern

546
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: District's inclusion in these charges in the Cone plea deal,

547
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of a pr attack against the president by

548
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: an office coordinating with Muller, obviously aligned with Comy, and

549
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: they knew the CONE would plead. But it's why did

550
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: they believe that version of what Michael Khne said when

551
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: he said a very had a very different version when

552
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: he said he did it on his own with his

553
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: own money early on and was paid back. You know,

554
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: So I don't think that this would work in any

555
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: court anyway. But you know, as Mark points out here,

556
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: they knew the left wing media politicians would use that

557
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: to just pivot away from Russia. That was all part

558
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: of the strategy. By the way, no due process, no

559
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: presumption of innocence. They knew they couldn't charge a sitting

560
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: president that's never been brought up either. Thus they convict

561
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: the president, scream impeachment as loud and as often as

562
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: they can, and it really has no chance of going anywhere,

563
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: and it's awful political purposes. By the way, when have

564
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: you ever seen judges or people to release materials that

565
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: are redacted the way we saw. That's another question. And

566
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: as for impeachment, Mark points out the NDA's involving holy

567
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: private matters occurring before the president was even a candidate,

568
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: unrelated to his office cannot legitimately trigger the Constitution's impeachment clause.

569
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: In other words, they could not be more irrelevant. And

570
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: the history of the clause and its high crimes and

571
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: misdemeanor language mayke it clear that the office of the

572
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: President's duties are not affected in any conceivable way by

573
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: earlier private contacts. Now, Gerald Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and

574
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff can say whatever they want. Doesn't matter what

575
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: they say, you know they'll mark wrights and his peace.

576
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: He's more than thrilled to be an executioner in this

577
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: French revolution. Reducts the Constitution be damned. Meanwhile, he and

578
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: others wave around the Constitution as if they're defending it

579
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: against the tyrant, but in fact it's them, no not,

580
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: it's meaning in any way all right. Eight hundred ninety

581
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: four one Sean Tolfree telephone number. You want to be

582
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: a part of the program, Jim Jordan. We'll talk about

583
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: all these things when we get back who entered the

584
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: United States without our permission. Our illegal aliens, and illegal

585
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: aliens should not be treated the same as people who

586
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: entered the US legally. President's decision to end DACA was

587
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: heartless and it was brainless. When we use phrases like

588
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people

589
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration.

590
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: Hundreds hundreds of thousands of families will be ripped apart.

591
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to

592
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: say it. I think it is illegal and wrong. Ends

593
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: of thousands of American businesses will lose hard working employees.

594
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: And the argument them as the president, is Americans don't

595
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: want to do the work. Wait, just can't find American

596
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: workers to do the work because the president that is

597
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: a cruck In many instances, it's just not true. In

598
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: my view, From's decision to end the DOCCER program or

599
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: some eight hundred thousand young people, is the cruelest and

600
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: most ugly presidential act in the modern history of this country.

601
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: I cannot think of one single act which is uglier

602
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: and more cruel. We've got to do several things, and

603
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants. People have

604
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: to stop employing illegal immigrants. Come up to Westchester, go

605
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: to Suffolk in Nassau County, stand in the street corners

606
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn or the Bronx. You're going to see loads

607
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: of people waiting to get picked up to go do

608
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: yard work and construction work and domestic work. You know, Idio,

609
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: this is not a problem that the people who are

610
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: coming into the country are solely responsible for. They coming

611
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: if we didn't put them to work. My proposal will

612
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: keep families together, and it will include a path to

613
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: citizen check. Those who enter the country illegally and those

614
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: who employ them disrespect the rule of law, and they

615
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: are showing disregard for those who are following the law.

616
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United

617
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people

618
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants.

619
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: Real reform means establishing a responsible pathway to earn citizenship.

620
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: Flipping the flopping, the flailing that goes on on the

621
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: issue of immigration, and of course the beatdown that the

622
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: President had with Pelosi and Schumer today and he's not

623
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: given up, and it's clear. And the other good news

624
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: is he has the support of even people like Lindsey

625
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: Graham said, no, he's got to hold out. This is

626
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: a fight worth fighting. And you know, the President also

627
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: taking major steps today to reign in and the abuse

628
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: of our welfare system by non citizens who utilize federal

629
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: subsidies in far greater numbers than their US born counterpart

630
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean, sixty seven percent of illegal immigrants, according to

631
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: a recent study that came out. And the President now

632
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: also threatening that if he has to, he'll use the

633
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: military to get the wall built that way, and that

634
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: exchange goes back and forth. He says, look, get it done.

635
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: I'll have the military do it. And if I have

636
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: to shut down the government. It's a myth that Republicans

637
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: get hurt by government shutdowns. They were afraid to do

638
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: it when Obama was president. Now they're afraid to do

639
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: it when a Republicans president. They're just afraid. You know,

640
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: three thousand people on a single day got caught jumping

641
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: in the border recently. And there's nothing that they're proposing,

642
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: meaning Nancy or Chuck that is going to fix that anyway.

643
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, Freedom Caucus member with us. By the way,

644
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: our two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred nine for one,

645
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: Sean are told free telephone number. What do you think

646
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: of the President's exchange with Pelosi and Schumer today, Sean?

647
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: I loved it. I mean, this is this is why

648
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: the American people elected this guy president because he is

649
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: standing firm and going to This is not about shutdown.

650
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: This is about doing what we set doing what we

651
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: told the voters we were going to do. And one

652
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: the central promises made the twenty sixteen campaign is that

653
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: we were going to build a border security wall. We

654
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: were going to get control of the border, and the

655
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: President is standing film for that. We took a position

656
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: as the Freedom Caucus last night that we will only

657
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: think about supporting this this fix spending bill if, in fact,

658
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: we do what the President said today. So I thought

659
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: it was great, and I think the American people think

660
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: the same thing. Well, look, as you know, he pointed

661
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: out that you know, everywhere the wall is, it's one

662
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent certainty we stop all the illegal immigration. Also,

663
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: it's good we saw a potential catastrophe building with the caravan,

664
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: and as much as if what happened at the southern

665
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: border of Mexico and it was attempted up here had

666
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: happened up here and we didn't have the means to

667
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: stop them, then at that point it becomes unlimited illegal

668
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: immigration into the country. And also, you know, it was

669
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: bad enough to watch rocks and bottles being thrown at

670
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: our ice guys and the border patrol people, but it

671
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: was happening right before our eyes. Yeah, the President is

672
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: so this is common sense, and the President is standing

673
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: strong for common sense reform here. Build a wall and

674
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: reform our asylum wall, stop the catch and release, change

675
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: our asylum law. And if you do those two things,

676
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: this caravan phenomena that we've watched the last several weeks,

677
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: that's how you deal with it. That's how you send

678
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: the right message. That's how you have orderly legal immigration,

679
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: not what we've been seeing the last several weeks with

680
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: this caravan and the attempts to try to get over

681
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: the wall, under the wall, through the fence, all the

682
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: things you're trying to do. So again, I love what

683
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: the President did. He stood for him there, and I

684
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 1: think this is where we got to be stand firm

685
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: for doing what we told the American people we were

686
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: going to do, more importantly, what they elected us to do.

687
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: Any insight is to what's going on with Mark Meadows.

688
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: I keep reading his name all over the place as

689
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: a potential candidate, but chief of staff, which I'm sure

690
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: you would probably like, because then it's a coup for

691
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: you and you'd be probably back in the driver's seat.

692
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: Well as chairman. You are the chairman, right, but you

693
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: lost your chairmanship. You're the honorary member. You know, you're

694
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: the only group that's into freedom. You're the only people

695
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: I try honestly you, I won't tell you. One person

696
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: that is impressing me more and more is Lindsey Graham.

697
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham said, no, this is a fight we're gonna have,

698
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: and the President's gonna win, and he's right. We have

699
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: to win it because if not, this never goes away.

700
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: And it's interesting to watch the Democrats. There's nothing that

701
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: apparently that the president would offer them that they would

702
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: take because they so desperately want to just say no

703
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: to him and not be seen as as making any

704
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: deals with this president. So that means no progress at

705
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: all for the country. If follow up on that, it

706
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the presidents for there against it. You

707
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: played the montage there at the front end where it

708
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: shows all the things they said before. Now therefore the

709
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: borderless hemisphere, as their candidates for president said in twenty sixteen,

710
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: there for abolishing eyes. So they've changed him that. If

711
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: you to your first question, Mark Meadows would be a

712
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: tremendous chiefest step. I hate to lose him on Capitol

713
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: Hill because he's my best friend up there, but he

714
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: would be great for the president if that's who the

715
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: president chooses. I think the country and the president and

716
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: you know, our intim nation is well served if if

717
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: that's who he picks. But on this immigration issue with Lindsay,

718
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: Senator Graham is exactly right. Stand firm, mister President, Stand firm.

719
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: Let's get this done now. We've got a few weeks

720
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: left where we have the majorities in both houses. Let's

721
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: make it happen. Well, I think Mitch McConnell saying that

722
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: he's going to go forward. How do you feel about

723
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: the prison reform bill? I interviewed Jared Kushner last night.

724
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: The one thing that it bothered me is one part

725
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: that Tom Cotton had been pointing out. There can't be

726
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: any possibility that any violent felons are released as part

727
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: of that deal. But on the other hand, do you

728
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: remember Alice Marie Johnson, the woman when she was had

729
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: her sentence commuted by the president. Yeah, she comes out

730
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: of prison, twenty plus years in prison, one time offender.

731
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 1: It was a drug it was a drug deal. And

732
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: she got out and she said something that I thought

733
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: was amazing. She said, first, thank you to the President,

734
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: thanks to the country, and then she went on and said,

735
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna let you down. Thank you for giving

736
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: me a second chance. And then I got a chance

737
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 1: to interview her, and she's as lovely or more lovely

738
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: in person. Yeah. Yeah, we have to find those people

739
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: that deserve that second chance and maybe even transform the

740
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: use of the pardon power of the president. I'd love

741
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: to see that exactly. We're all in need of God's grace.

742
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: If you do something wrong, you're gonna have to serve

743
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: your time. But while you're in prison, let's let's get

744
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: you the training, the help that you need so that

745
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: when you do get out, you can you can go

746
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: on with your life and get that second chance, and

747
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: I know Jared has been working hard on this. We

748
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: think this is the kind of legislation that makes sense.

749
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: There was some concern to stend of the cotton race.

750
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: I think those are being addressed. We had Mikely at

751
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: our Freedom Caucus meeting last night. Mike's been a strong

752
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: proponent of this legislation. So again, I think Jodan and

753
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: the team done a lot of good work, and let's

754
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: see if we can get this thing done. And I

755
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: think we can. All right, So let's imagine at first,

756
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: I was a little concern and I heard Nadler and

757
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: some others saying we're going to end the deep State

758
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: investigation almost immediately. There's no points. So we all knew

759
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: that was going to happen. However, yeah, we now we

760
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: had the testimony of you were you in the testimony

761
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: when Comey gave it last week? Yeah? Okay, And James

762
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: Comy literally said he said in that meeting, Well, first

763
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: of all, he said, I don't remember some two hundred

764
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: and fifty times. Put that aside. He never vetted the dossier.

765
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: We already knew it. But now he's on record saying

766
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: they never vetted the dossier. But he put his signature

767
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: to it, right, and Sally Yates did and Rob Rosenstein

768
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: did right. Yeah, well, I think it's even worse, Shan.

769
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: He didn't know anything about Christopher Steele. So it's one

770
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 1: thing to take his work. You don't know anything about

771
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 1: the work product. The guy who wrote the work product

772
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: that you took to the court to get the warrant.

773
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: He never talked to Christopher Steele, didn't know Christopher Steele

774
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: was meeting with Bruce or top Justice Department official, didn't

775
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: know that Bruce was asking Chris Steel's information to the FBI,

776
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: didn't know that they had terminated that Christopher Steele, didn't

777
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: know that Christopher Steel continue to give information to the

778
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: FBI after he was terminated. Didn't know any of that,

779
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: and yet takes his work product to the FIS the

780
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: court to get the warrant to spot the Trump campaign.

781
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: That's literally That was the biggest takeaway I had is

782
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: you didn't know squat about the key guy whose work

783
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: product was the basis for the whole darn thing. Have

784
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: you heard about this email chain that John Solomon was

785
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: reporting about? Now, there there were three buckets that the

786
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: President has talked about that he would unredact and release

787
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: to the American people. Bucket one would be the applications.

788
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: Both the Nunez and Grassy Graham memos say that the

789
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: bulk of information came from the dossier that we now

790
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: know they never vetted. On top of that, Christopher Steele

791
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: has since you know, distance his own self from that

792
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: by saying, oh, I have no idea if any of

793
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: it's true when he was threatened with perjury and an

794
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: interrogatory in Great Britain. So but then we want the

795
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: three O two's gang of Ape. But there's also this

796
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: email letter chain. Comey is on it, and what can

797
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: you tell us about it? I asked him about it.

798
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: He didn't know it. That was another one in his

799
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty five I don't know. So I

800
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: did ask him about an email chain relative to the

801
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: fact that Christopher Steele this is This was in mister

802
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 1: Solomon's reporting, and I went basically from mister Solomon's reporting

803
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: that mister Steele had met with reporters in September twenty

804
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: sixteen prior to again his dossier being taken to the

805
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: FISA court as the basis for the for the Carter

806
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: Page FISA so asking about that, he didn't know anything

807
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: about it. I specifically asking, so you didn't know anything

808
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: about Christopher Stile, possibly meaning with Michael Isikoff, with Yah

809
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: who News. He didn't know anything about that either. I

810
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: do think we need to come back to that and

811
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: export deeper, because it was basically two questions, is all

812
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: at that I got a chance to ask him about

813
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: I think we need to dig a little deeper into that.

814
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: But he didn't know anything. And that's what he told

815
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: us in the in the deposition last week. So we

816
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: have the sentencing memos. You know, this is what we

817
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: what the whole Muller investigation has become. Lying to the FBI,

818
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: lying to a law enforcement about taxi medallion's lan applications

819
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: not paying your taxes, which is really stupid. If you

820
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: don't pay them, you got to pay your taxes, because

821
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: that's the easiest way they're going to throw anybody in jail.

822
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: And you know, so we have all of this hysteria

823
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: by the media and the left, and they're all thrown

824
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: around the world impeachment. By the way, these are the

825
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: people that have been hating on the president from day

826
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: one and even before he got elected. The reality is

827
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: you can't. You can indict a sitting president. That's the

828
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: oj policy period. Neither the Special Counsel, nor the SDNY

829
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: nor Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein can defy that policy. Not

830
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: only that, there is no campaign finance violation here for

831
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: a multitude of reasons, which I went into earlier today. Right, No, Right,

832
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean this is all about you know, Cohen did

833
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things you shouldn't have done, a mister Manaford,

834
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: but didn't register right as a lobbyist. It's all that

835
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But where's the relationship to what the

836
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: underlying mission of the Special Council was? Where is where

837
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: is the any type of collusion or coordination or conspiracy

838
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: between the Trump campaign and Russia? To date, not one

839
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: bit of evidence in any of that to say that

840
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: there was any type of coordination. So I always just

841
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: come back to the basics. That's what mister Mueller is

842
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: supposed to be looking at. We've not seen any of that,

843
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: and yet Jerry Nadal and Adam Shift they already got

844
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: the president going to prison, which is right, Listen. I'm

845
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: just hoping that the new Attorney general is we'll believe

846
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: an equal justice under the law, an equal application of

847
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: our laws. And if that's the case, and we really

848
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: are worried about Russian interference, then I think the Uranium

849
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: one deal shows a lot of stupidity, bad decisions, corruption

850
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: and put an influence. And I think the same thing

851
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: with the dossier that was disseminated to the American people

852
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: to make Americans vote against Donald Trump. I'd like that

853
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: to be dealt with as well. But stay right there

854
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: more with our good friend, Representative Jim Jordan, House Freedom

855
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: Caucus Member, Right as we continue with Jim Jordan, House

856
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus Member, congressman from Ohio. All right, so it's

857
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: a little different. I mean it's a good thing. I

858
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,439
Speaker 1: will say that the president works so hard to save

859
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: the Senate because it doesn't matter what nance Pelosi does

860
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: in the end or what the House Democrats do, as

861
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: extreme as they are, but it makes your job harder.

862
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: And if they're coming with a cannon of subpoenas as

863
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: they are telegraphing, Yeah, how do you and the minority

864
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: fight that you focus on the truth? I mean that's all.

865
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: That's what you've been focused on, Sean, and does such

866
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: a good job with what we've been focused on Mark Meadows,

867
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: Matt Gates and a bunch of us in the House.

868
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: You focus on the truth, and that's that's got to

869
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: be our job. So look, we have an obligation, constitutional

870
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: duty to provide oversight of the federal government, particularly the

871
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, where Elijah Coming already had sixty four subpoenas

872
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: he wanted to send this Congress. So we assume those

873
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: are coming the next time, but we focus on the truth.

874
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: They're going to drive how they want to, and they're

875
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: going to do what they want and subpoenas and hearings

876
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: and bring people in and all the things they do.

877
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: Our job is to Could you imagine if anybody deleted

878
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: the emails when they were subpoenaed by Gerald Nadler or

879
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: any other committee chair of the Democrats and then used

880
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: acid wash, bleach bit to clean the hard drive and

881
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: bust up their devices. I wonder what they'd say. Then, Yeah,

882
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 1: I wonder if they suppeened me and I did all

883
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: those things, what do you think would happen? You'd in

884
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: big trouble. This is the double standard that drives people crazy.

885
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: And you've talked about it, but it's so true. One

886
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: set of rules for us regular folk, but a difference

887
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: set If your name is Lynch Learner Page struck, you

888
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: get a different set of rules. You know. One of

889
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: the things I was struck with two and I actually

890
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: asked this question that mister Kobe, think about go to

891
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: the basis. Remember it was the same people who ran

892
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: the Clinton investigation who then took over and launched and

893
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: ran the Russian investigation. And I think you go right

894
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: back to the beginning. Think of the names they gave

895
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: each of those investigations. One was called the Midyear Exam.

896
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: That's sort of like you had to get through this,

897
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: we had to go kind of make it look like

898
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: we were doing it, but the fix was in and

899
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: they were going to make sure Clinton was exonerated. And

900
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: then the other one was called Crossfire Hurricane, which I

901
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: think when you step back and think about the names

902
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: and what those names imply, that sort of right from

903
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: the get go shows you there were some extremes against

904
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: President Trump right for the geta of sixteen, right from

905
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: the get go. All right, Jim Jordan, thank you eight hundred.

906
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: You know I'm gonna play you know, why don't we

907
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: play this exchange in full when we get back Then

908
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: We'll take some calls on it, because I've been referring

909
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: to it now since the first hour. Eight hundred nine

910
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: for one, Sean is our number. You want to be

911
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: a part of the program. Later on, John Sale, we'll

912
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: look at the prosecutorial head. The president is in trouble

913
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: over campaign finance. Forget Russia collusion, it's campaign finance. Now

914
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: the answers, No will explain and more coming up straight ahead, Hannity. Oh,

915
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: we got a great show tonight, nine Eastern, all right,

916
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour. UM, I

917
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: know a lot of you missed it earlier today. I

918
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: think it's worth It's like a ten minute exchange here

919
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: with the President, Pelosi and Schumer in the Oval Office

920
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: and dealing with government funding, government shutdown possibility, and funding

921
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: the wall. Lindsey Graham's back in the president. Republicans were

922
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: back in the president. They say, no, we did, we

923
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: made a promise. This is what people want them to do.

924
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: Let's fight, stand up and fight because it's the right

925
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: thing to do. And so here's that exchange, which I

926
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: just thought the President just nailed them multiple times and

927
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: it was great. Listen to this. We may not have

928
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: an agreement today, we probably won't, but we have an

929
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: agreement on other things that are really good. Nancy, would

930
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 1: you like to say something, well, thank you, mister President,

931
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: for an opportunity to meet with you so that we

932
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: can work together in a bipartisan way to meet the

933
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: needs of the American people. I think American people recognize

934
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: that we must keep government open, that a shutdown is

935
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: not worth anything, and that you should not have a

936
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: Trump shutdown. You have the Trump down, you have the

937
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: White House going to you have the Senate, you have

938
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, you have the votes you should pass.

939
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: We don't vote because in the Senate we need sixty yards.

940
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: But in the half, we don't have to bring it

941
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: up right now. But I can't excuse me, but I

942
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: can't get it passed in the House. If it's not

943
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: going to pass in the Senate, I don't want to

944
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: waste them. The fact is you can get it started

945
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: that way. The House. We could get passed very easily. Okay,

946
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: we do it, but the problem is the Senate, because

947
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: we need ten Democrats to vote that they want the point.

948
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: It's because the point is is that their equities to

949
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: be weighed, and we're here to have a conversation your

950
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: careful way. So I don't think we should have the

951
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: debate in front of the press on this. But the

952
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: fact is, the Senate, the House Republicans could bring up

953
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: this bill if they had the votes immediately and set

954
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: the tone for what you want. If we thought we

955
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: were going to get it passed in the Senate, Nancy,

956
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: we would do it immediately, would get it passed very

957
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: easily in the House. Well, we would get it, Nancy,

958
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: I'd have it passed in two seconds. It doesn't matter though,

959
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,479
Speaker 1: because we can't get it passed in the Senate because

960
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: we need ten Democrat votes. Again, let us have our conversation,

961
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: then we'll meet with the press again. But the fact is,

962
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: is that legislating, and which is what we do. You

963
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: begin to make your points, to state your case. That's

964
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,479
Speaker 1: what the House Republicans could do if they had the votes.

965
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: But there aren't votes in the House majority of votes

966
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: for a wall no matter where. You're exactly right. If

967
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: I needed the votes for the wall in the House,

968
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: I would have them in one session, would be done.

969
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: Do it. It doesn't help because we need ten Democrats

970
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: and the Senate put it on an Okay, let me

971
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: ask you this just and we're doing this in a

972
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: very friendly manner. It doesn't help for me to take

973
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: a vote in the House where I will win easily

974
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: with the Republicans when it doesn't help to take that

975
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: vote because I'm not going to get the vote of

976
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: the Senate. I need ten senators. That's the problem. You

977
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: have the White House, the Senate. I have the White House.

978
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: The White House is done, and the House would give

979
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: me the vote if I wanted it, but I can't

980
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: because I need Nancy. I need ten votes from chub Or.

981
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: Let me say something here. Let me say white The

982
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 1: fact is you do not have the votes in the House, Nancy.

983
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: I do. And we need border security, Nancy, Nancy. We

984
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: need border securities, very simple question. We need border security.

985
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: People are pouring into our country in ruting terrorists. We

986
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 1: have terror We caught ten terrorists over the last very

987
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: short period of time. Ten. These are very serious people.

988
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: Our border agents, all of our law enforcement has been

989
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 1: incredible what they've done. But we caught ten terrorists. These

990
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: are people that we're looking to do harm. We need

991
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: the wall. We need more appoint than anything. We need

992
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: border security, of which the wall is just a peace

993
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: but it's important. Ject did you want to say, sah,

994
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: Here's what I want to say. We have a lot

995
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: of disagreements here. The Washington Post today gave you a

996
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: whole lot of pinocchios because they say you constantly misstate

997
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,959
Speaker 1: how much the wall is, how much of the wall

998
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: is built, and how much is there. But that's not

999
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: the point here. We have a disagreement about the wall, Washington,

1000
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: whether it's effective or not on boorder security, but on

1001
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: the wall. We do not want to shut down the government.

1002
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 1: You have called twenty times to shut down the government.

1003
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: Who say I want to shut down the government. We don't.

1004
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,959
Speaker 1: We want to come to an agreement. If we can't

1005
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: come to an agreement, we have solutions that will pass

1006
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: the House and Senate right now, and we'll not shut

1007
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: down the government. And that's what we're urging you to do.

1008
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: Not to shut down the government because you let me

1009
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: just finish from them, because you can't catch you shut

1010
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: it down. Let me say something, mister president, you just

1011
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: say my way, or will shut down the government. We

1012
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: have a proposal that Democrats and Republicans will support to

1013
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: do a cr that will not shut down the government.

1014
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: We urge you to take it. If it's not good

1015
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: border security out it is very good. And if it's

1016
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: not good border security, I will take it's because when

1017
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: you look at these numbers of the effectiveness of our

1018
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: border security, and when you look at the job that

1019
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: we're doing, we just said it is effective. Can I

1020
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: be Can I tell you something you just said without

1021
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: a wall, these are only areas where you have the

1022
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: we want to do. You have walls, Chuck, it's effective, Well,

1023
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: you don't have rules, it is not effective. Yeah, that's

1024
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: calohl to this. We've come in here as the first

1025
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: branch of government, Article one, the legislative branch. We're coming

1026
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: in in good faith to negotiate with you about how

1027
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: we can keep the government open. We're going to keep

1028
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: it open if we have border security. If we don't

1029
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: have border security, we're not going to keep it on.

1030
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: We haven't had bader and it's the same border you're

1031
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: bragging about what has been done. But we want to

1032
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: do the same thing we did last year this year.

1033
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: That's our proposal. If it's good, then it's good now,

1034
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: and it won't shut down the gol Huck. We can

1035
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: build up a much bigger. Let's debate in private. Okay, yeah,

1036
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: let's debate in private. Devoid frankly the fast and we

1037
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: can we need border security. I think we all agree

1038
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: that we need water SECAs good we do. Say we

1039
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: get a law. Thank you everybody. President, you save border

1040
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: security at the wall. Can you have border security with alcohol?

1041
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: You need you need the wall. The wall is a

1042
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: part of water security. What it means to have border security.

1043
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: We need border security. The wall is a part of

1044
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: border security. You can't have very good border security without

1045
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: the wall. No, not true, because that is a political promise.

1046
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: Border security is a way to effectively on our respond

1047
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: The experts say you can do border security without a wall,

1048
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: which is wasteful and doesn't solve the problem. It totally

1049
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: solves the problem with and it's very important. This is

1050
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: spiraled downwards when we came at a place to say,

1051
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,959
Speaker 1: how do we meet the needs of American people who

1052
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: have needs? The economy has its people are losing their jobs,

1053
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: the markets in a mood. Our members are already we

1054
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 1: have the lowest unemployment that we've had in fifty years. See,

1055
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: people of the Republican Party have lost are losing their

1056
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: offices now because of the transition. The people are not

1057
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: at the memory gained in the Senate. Nancy, we've gained

1058
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: in the Senate. Excuse me, did we win the Senate?

1059
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: Because we're won the Senate. When the President braggs that

1060
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: he won North Dakota and Indiana, he's in real trouble.

1061
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: When I did, let me say it did North Dakota

1062
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: and in most unfortunate And we came in here in

1063
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: good faith and we're entering into this kind of a

1064
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: discussion in the public. But it's not bad advancing no

1065
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: and no cold transparency. I know it's not transparent. Se well,

1066
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,439
Speaker 1: we're not stipulating to a set of facts. And when

1067
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: we wanted to have a debate with you about saying,

1068
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: we confront them. Use that's you know what we need

1069
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: border security. That's what we're going to be talking about

1070
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: border security. If we don't have borter security, we'll shut

1071
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: down the government. This country needs border security. The wall

1072
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: is a part of borter security. Let's have a tall

1073
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: We're going to get the wall built. And we've done

1074
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of wall already. Bigger part of border security

1075
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: of the wall, it's a big section. It's a big

1076
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: part of it everything that you need, it's a big

1077
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: part of it. We need to have effective border security.

1078
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: We need a wall in certain parts, No, not in

1079
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: all parts, but in certain parts of a two thousand

1080
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: mile border. We need a wall. How much money we

1081
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: are doing it? Much under budget? We're actually way under budget.

1082
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: Or the areas that we've renovated, in areas that we've built,

1083
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 1: I would say if we got if we got five

1084
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: billion dollars, we could do a tremendous chunkal walls. Well,

1085
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: we're going to see, We're going to see. Look, we

1086
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: have to have the wall. This isn't a question. This

1087
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,720
Speaker 1: is a national emergency. Drugs are pouring into our country.

1088
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: People with tremendous medical difficulty and medical problems are pouring in,

1089
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: and many in many cases that it's contagious. They're pouring

1090
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: into our country. We have to have border security. We

1091
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: have to have a wall as part of border security.

1092
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: And I don't think we really disagree so much. I

1093
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: also know that you know, Nancy is in a situation

1094
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: where it's not easy for her to talk right now,

1095
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: and I understand that, and I fully understand that we're

1096
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: going to have a good discussion and we're going to

1097
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: see what happens. We have to have border secret to

1098
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: the president, Please don't characterize the strength that I bring

1099
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: for this need as a leader of the House Democrats

1100
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 1: who just want a big elections have consequences. He just

1101
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: says that's right, and that's why the country is doing

1102
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: so well. But the president is representing them as his

1103
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: cards over there are not fact. We have to have

1104
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: an evident, stase conversation about what does work, what money

1105
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: has been spent in, how affects that it is? This

1106
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: isn't it that this is about the security of that

1107
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: country to take an oath to decay and defend. And

1108
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: we don't want to have that mix character by anyone.

1109
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: I agree with it, and we are no. No, I

1110
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: agree with it. So let us have a conversation. But

1111
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: we don't have to contradict in public to statistics that

1112
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: you put forth, but instead can have a conversation about

1113
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: what will really work and what the American people deserve

1114
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: from us at this uncertain time in their lives. One

1115
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: thing I think we can agree on is we shouldn't

1116
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: shut down the government over a dispute. And you want

1117
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,479
Speaker 1: to shut it down. I'm talking about the last time, Chuck,

1118
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: you shut it there, no, no, no, and then you

1119
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: any time quickly. And I don't want to do what

1120
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: you did twenty times shut we've called for. I will

1121
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: shut down the government if I don't get my will,

1122
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: none of us. If you want to know something, you said, okay,

1123
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: you want to put them on set, I'll take it. Okay, good,

1124
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll say. Yes, if we don't get

1125
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: what we want one way or the other, whether it's

1126
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 1: through you, through a military, through anything you want to call,

1127
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: I will shut down the absolutely. And I am proud

1128
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: and I'll just agree. I am proud to shut down

1129
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of

1130
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: this country don't want criminals and people that have lots

1131
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So I

1132
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: will take the mental. I will be the one to

1133
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 1: shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it.

1134
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: The last time you shut it down, it didn't work.

1135
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: I will take the mental of shutting down, and I'm

1136
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: going to shut it down for border but we believe

1137
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: you shouldn't shut it down. Thank you very much, everybody.

1138
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: A lot of friends of mine wanted a lot of

1139
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: people that Chuck and Nancy know very well wanted. I

1140
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: think people you'd like. We have a lot of people

1141
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: that want the job chief of steps. So we'll be

1142
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: seeing what happens very soon. We're no rush. Why we're

1143
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: no rush? Why? No rush? Why? Because we have a

1144
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: wonderful chief of staff right now. Just we are in

1145
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 1: no rush. Over a period of a week or two

1146
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: or maybe less, will announce who it's going to be.

1147
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: But we have a lot of people that want the position.

1148
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right, So that was from

1149
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: earlier today. That was the President with Nancy Pelosi Chuck

1150
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: Schumer in the Oval office. I'll take a quick break here,

1151
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We'll continue eight hundred nine Poll one.

1152
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Shaun is on number. We'll get to your calls when

1153
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: we get back. John sam formerly of the Southern District

1154
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: of New York Prosecutor, is going to analyze this ridiculous

1155
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: notion that campaign finance is the big Muller find here,

1156
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: because it's not, and it's ridiculous and anyone that tells

1157
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: you it is doesn't know what they're talking about. A right,

1158
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: as we continue, let's get to our busy phones here.

1159
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Michael is in Pittsburgh, PA. Mike, Hi, how are you

1160
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: glad you called sir fucor Sean on Good Afternoon. The

1161
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: only problem I think I have is the fact that

1162
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: the representatives created a slush fund from our money and

1163
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: they went ahead and paid off women who accused them

1164
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: supposedly of sexually harassing them. And I don't know who

1165
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: these women are. Was it someone's cousin, was it their sister.

1166
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we have no way to trace you know

1167
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: how much hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of dollars of

1168
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: our money, and we don't know who they were. We

1169
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but we knew that was mister Kavanaugh.

1170
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: We know it was mister Trump, President Trump. I would

1171
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: like a little uh, you know, a little openness about Yeah,

1172
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: here's what well, this is what I know. And this

1173
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: was printed. This goes back a year now, and I

1174
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: remember first seeing it in the New York Post. You know,

1175
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: like Democratic Control House members they want to impeach President

1176
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Trump for nondisclosure agreement payments or whatever. You know, a

1177
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: lot of times they're made just to make things go

1178
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: away and it's cheaper. Other times it's true and accurate,

1179
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: and they pay a lot of money But the difference

1180
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: here is, and I think you're raising a point. I

1181
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: think we have a right to know because I think

1182
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of explaining to do

1183
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats if they're spending millions of our tax

1184
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: dollars to silence women who accused them of everything from

1185
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: sexual harassment to worse, and that would include a whole

1186
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: lot of Democrats who stand accused. Now, say what you

1187
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: will the president's issues, believe them or not. We're twelve

1188
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: years ago and the president, which we know, would use

1189
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: his own money, but not the case of Congress. You know,

1190
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: we had a congresswoman who testified the current members of

1191
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: Congress are known sexual harassers and that fifteen million dollars

1192
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: of taxpayer money has been paid to hush accusers. Okay,

1193
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: and Representative Jackie Spire told you a news outlet the

1194
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: millions have been doled out, and even CNN reported according

1195
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: to Congressional Office of Compliance, there were two hundred and

1196
01:02:56,200 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: sixty eight settlements. Okay, we're footing the bill for that. Now,

1197
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: if you want to pay somebody off and have your

1198
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: own nondisclosure agreement, have at it, but don't make me

1199
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: pay for it. I'm not paying for it. At least

1200
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna at least we should have the knowledge of

1201
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 1: what went on. Right, Yeah, I think the hash too

1202
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: hash with the hashtag me too, or they bring back

1203
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: the girls, that's all gonna be fake and it's all

1204
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna be for not if they don't really push push

1205
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: it here. I mean, they really need to go after

1206
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: these people, whether the Republic. I'll bring this up tonight.

1207
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: You're raising a good point. All right, Thank you so

1208
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: much for the call, eight hundred and nine for one,

1209
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: Seawan told free telephone number. All Right, Former SDN Y

1210
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: proscly Southern District New York Prosecutor John Sale will join us.

1211
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: We'll get his analysis on this whole campaign finance non issue,

1212
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 1: but we'll they get his take on it straight ahead

1213
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: as we continue. Coming up next our final news round

1214
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: up and Information Overload hour. If it is proven that

1215
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: the President directed or coordinated with Cohen to commit these felonies,

1216
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: are those impeachable offenses? Well, they would be impeachable offenses.

1217
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: Whether they are important enough to justify an impeachment is

1218
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: a different question, but certainly they'd be impeachable offenses. This president,

1219
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: in my estimation has done everything possible to certainly be

1220
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: eligible for impeachment, and so I really do think that

1221
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: it should be started. I think what this totality of

1222
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 1: today's filings show that the House is going to have

1223
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: little choice the way this is going other than to

1224
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: start impeachment proceedings. This is a man who came in

1225
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: and said, I'm bigger than the House. I've been in

1226
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: checks and balances, I'm beginning the judicial community. I'm bigger

1227
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: than the free press. And he's going to pay for

1228
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: that the rest of his life. When immigrants procure their

1229
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: citizenship by fraud, we strip them of their citizenship. When

1230
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: a president procures his presidency by fraud, should we consider

1231
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: doing the same. That can be a criminal case if

1232
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: they can prove willfulness there. I also think it potentially

1233
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: grounds for impeachment. I think the American people would support impeachment.

1234
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will be must be impeached. He's got to

1235
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: know his future looks like it's behind bars. Donald Trump

1236
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: is a criminal enterprise. It certainly looks like they are

1237
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: the kind of offenses that would call for impeachment hearings.

1238
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: You have this memorable phrase of individual number one. You

1239
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: know it's going to go down I think in the

1240
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: history books along with some of those memorable Watergate phrases.

1241
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Do you agree with Congressman Adam Schiff, who is going

1242
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: to be the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, that

1243
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: President Trump could be indicted and possibly faced jail time

1244
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: after he leaves off. Yes, these are felonies that we're

1245
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 1: talking about. As it relates to impeachment, Anderson, the Constitution

1246
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: could not be any clearer. Impeachment is the appropriate remedy

1247
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: for bribery, for treason, for high crimes and misdemeanors. It

1248
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. If the President orchestrated and ordered Michael

1249
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: Cohen to break the law, to act in a criminal manner,

1250
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: and did so knowingly, as Jerry Nadler, the incoming chairman

1251
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: of the House Judiciary Committee, said, that would be an

1252
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: appeachurable offense. Potentially again, if knowledge was there, all right, dudes,

1253
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: round up information overload and yeah, that is your left

1254
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: wing media and their overreaction and their stupidity and their

1255
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: ignorance all on full display here. You know, it's amazing

1256
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: the collectively they were waiting for these sentencing recommendations on

1257
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Cone and Manaford, and the end of the cooperation deal

1258
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: that Manaford had with the Special Council, thinking that there's

1259
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: a smoking gun so on Russia. But of course there

1260
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: was nothing. For Michael Kohne, we're talking about taxi medallions,

1261
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: financial issues, tax issues, loan applications and from Manaphort pretty

1262
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: much the same thing, nothing to do with Russian collusion.

1263
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: So first that raises the question why might we even

1264
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: be here right then on the Michael khone, then they

1265
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: found nothing on Russia, and then like we gotta get something. Well,

1266
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Michael Kohane said, and he did this at the direction

1267
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: of the president. Problem with Michael is that's not the

1268
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: only version of that story that he's given. He said

1269
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,919
Speaker 1: actually that he did it on his own without any

1270
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: input for the president. When the president found out, he

1271
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: paid him back, So that turns into a whole different thing.

1272
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 1: I go back to Levine's peace earlier that I mentioned

1273
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: that he put up on Facebook. When you look at

1274
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: actual campaign rules and the wording in the context, they

1275
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: don't include nondisclosure agreements NDAs or infinite other contracts, payments, arrangements,

1276
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: acts of a private nature as campaign contributions. In other words,

1277
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: it's normal human behavior that was never intended ever, nor

1278
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: is it mentioned to be regulated or reported. So the

1279
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Southern District of New York, which I have a lot

1280
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: of respect for, in this case I believe, is way

1281
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: off of course. And whatever private payments might have been

1282
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: made in any amount out by anybody, their private payments

1283
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: involving private matters. And to underscore, there's no reporting requirement

1284
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: because they're not campaign payments made with or without with

1285
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: or without campaign funes. So the inclusion of this and

1286
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: their desire to only believe the version of events that

1287
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: fits their narrative doesn't really work in a court of law.

1288
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: And as a practical matter, you know, how do you

1289
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: get to pick and choose which version of somebody's story

1290
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: that you want. That he's not a cooperating witness in

1291
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: this particular case, And but you know, this is what

1292
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: the left wing does. This is what they've been now

1293
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: calling for for two years. And as for impeachment, I mean,

1294
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: there's nothing dumber that I've heard in my life. A

1295
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: nondisclosure agreement is a nondisclosure agreement involving private matters that

1296
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: people agree to. They don't have to agree to it,

1297
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: but they choose to agree to it, and unrelated to

1298
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: anything that ever had to do with his office or

1299
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: obtaining his office. And how, you know, how we get

1300
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 1: to this point is just showing you how desperate and

1301
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 1: political things have become in this atmosphere of destroyed Trump anyway.

1302
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: John Sale is a former federal prosecutor. He served in

1303
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: the Southern District of New York as an assistant special

1304
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: Watergate prosecutor as well. And Sale has particular understanding of

1305
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: the Southern District of New York, probably the most prestigious

1306
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: I guess in the country. Is that a fair statement,

1307
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: John Sale? I think it is, even though I've been

1308
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 1: in other US attorney's office as I think it is.

1309
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's. I mean the cases that

1310
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: have and you worked with Andy. I think on the

1311
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: blind Shake case, didn't you. You work with Rudy over

1312
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: the years as well well. I worked with Rudy over

1313
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: the years. The judge in the blind See case is

1314
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: my good friend Michael Mukasey, Right. I mean, the names

1315
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: that come out of here are who's who in terms

1316
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: of legal minds and political uh political powerhouse people so

1317
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: and have in the Southern District of New York had

1318
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: taken on some of the biggest hardest cases, especially with

1319
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 1: terrorism and other issues. What is your reaction to all

1320
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: of this. Do you think there's any validity to this

1321
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: campaign finance argument? Well, I think that that's pretty easy

1322
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: one for staters. When Michael Kohen first entered his plea,

1323
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: he pled too. As you pointed up before, he Matt

1324
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:28,440
Speaker 1: is involving his own misdeeds, false tax returns, false applications

1325
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: to loans, having nothing in the world to do with

1326
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: the president, And they threw in a couple of soil

1327
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: called campaign violations, and he gratuitously added, oh, and it

1328
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 1: was directed by obviously he was referring to the president.

1329
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: And then his lawyer went on TV and tried to

1330
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: sell his cooperation to the Special Council, which is a

1331
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: kind of a bizarre way to do it. So now

1332
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: he's changed his story for about the eighth time. But

1333
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you so's showing something that really is unusual.

1334
01:10:58,200 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: And as I said, I'm proud of my former offer.

1335
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: But usually when two prosecutors officers take different positions, they

1336
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: don't do it publicly. They'll sit down sometimes with the

1337
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: Deaupment of Justice being the referee, and then they take

1338
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: a uniform position. So here you see the special counsel

1339
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: saying that he was helpful somewhat, and you have the

1340
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: Southern District blasting him in a sentencing memo. But to

1341
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: get back to your question, I mean, first of all,

1342
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: it's only Michael Khan who is saying he was authorized

1343
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: by individual number one, which I think it's disingenuous to

1344
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 1: say individual number one because we all know who he's

1345
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 1: referring to. But I don't concede that that happened because

1346
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: of his credibility. But if it did happen, and just

1347
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: for the sake of argument there, it's a specific intent crime,

1348
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: so they would have to prove that individual number one

1349
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: knew it was against the law, which they can't prove.

1350
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: And it's also an offense which is rarely prosecuted criminally

1351
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: and when and it is usually dealt with by a fine.

1352
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: So you know, is that impeachable? Well, spitting on the

1353
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: sidewalks impeachable if a Congress of votes it is, but

1354
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: of course it shouldn't. It's not an impeachable offense in fairness,

1355
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not I don't join the bandwagon. I watch

1356
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: a TV show regularly shown, and I'm a big fan,

1357
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: but I don't necessarily agree that Mahler's office is on

1358
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: a witch hunt. But I just think they're wrong, and

1359
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: I think the fairness you frequently talk about though the

1360
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: investigation is tainted. I think you don't have to go

1361
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: there to just look at what are they doing regarding

1362
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 1: the president. And I'm not here to defend the president,

1363
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: but what they're doing regarding the president is unfair the

1364
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: Special Counsel's office, These redacted pleadings, to me, are appalling

1365
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 1: that they've filed publicly. And I called four different, very

1366
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: seasoned federal judges in different parts of the country, and

1367
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: I asked every one of them, have you ever in

1368
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: your twenty some ideas sitting on the bench seeing anything

1369
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: like that? And every single one of them said no.

1370
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: And here's my problem X or whicheveryone we're talking about

1371
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: in public. They file a document that says he provided

1372
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:15,640
Speaker 1: very valuable information regarding and then it's all blank. So

1373
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: what does that lead to speculation about it? Is it

1374
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: why I'm not going to mention their names, because I'm

1375
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:25,600
Speaker 1: going to then contribute to the problem of destroying their reputations.

1376
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: That information should be filed under seal so that nobody's

1377
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: speculating and nobody is in them imagination creating evidence about

1378
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: the president, about the president's family. And the only thing

1379
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: it tells me is that this investigation is probably not

1380
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 1: coming to a close. And I think it should and

1381
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: I think they're As I have said before, if a

1382
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: special Council does a very thorough investigation and it does

1383
01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 1: not incriminate the president, they have not failed. If the

1384
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: evidence shows it does, then that's one thing. But we

1385
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 1: have not seen any evidence to incriminate the president. And

1386
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: everyone is spy on some of the other networks. Everyone

1387
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: is speculating, and that's all it is unless they are right. Well,

1388
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 1: here's some of my problems. Let me tell you where

1389
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: my main criticisms are is I think we've lost any

1390
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: sense of equal application of our laws, equal justice of

1391
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 1: our laws. Under our laws I look at I can

1392
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,680
Speaker 1: compartmentalize and break down each individual case for you, but

1393
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: there are a whole lot of people I have listed

1394
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: that have been caught lying to either Congress or to

1395
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: the FBI and nothing has happened to them. I'm worried

1396
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 1: about a double standard. I'm worried about in the Michael

1397
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 1: Flinn case, the abuse of surveillance. They didn't. They ended

1398
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: up unmasking him and leaking raw intelligence against him, which

1399
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,799
Speaker 1: is against the law. He wasn't doing anything nefarious except

1400
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: talking to a future counterpart. Nobody in the FBI thought

1401
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn had lied when they did the interview with him,

1402
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 1: but yet he signed onto that because he's bankrupt, and

1403
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: I would suspect they probably said, well, we're going to

1404
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: go after your son, and he probably dove on his sword.

1405
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty good educated guess. We know

1406
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: they were writing an exoneration of Hillary in May with

1407
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Ay had written in the legal standard gross negligence and

1408
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 1: changed it shifted into extreme carelessness. That was in early maya,

1409
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,719
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Comey said that he wasn't writing it before

1410
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,719
Speaker 1: he interviewed her. That was a lie, and Peter Struck

1411
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: and James Comy were writing that, and then it ends

1412
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,679
Speaker 1: up that I felt like they gave her a pass.

1413
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: I think that it's a clear violation having top secret

1414
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 1: classified information on an outside server the way she did,

1415
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 1: and their original assessment was that as many as six

1416
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: foreign intelligence agencies hacked into it, and then we have,

1417
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 1: of course, the beginning of the Russians investigations. Comey said

1418
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: Friday least a page before that they had nothing after

1419
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: nine months of looking at it. So why after nine

1420
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,679
Speaker 1: months did they start with a special counsel James Comey

1421
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: helped precipitate. And then we get into the issue of,

1422
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Russian dossier and lying to FISA courts

1423
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: for Jim Comey to say they never vetted or verified

1424
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: anything in that document that he signed that would spy

1425
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: on an American citizen, a Trump campaign official. If we

1426
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: really care about Russian influence, I think we would dig

1427
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: into that matter as deeply as any matters involving Trump.

1428
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: I think the Uranium one deal is even more problematic

1429
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,799
Speaker 1: because we ended up handing over twenty percent of America's

1430
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: uranium while we had a spy inside of Plutin's network

1431
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: in America. We knew they wanted a foothold in the

1432
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: uranium industry. Our spy was telling our top FBI official

1433
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: at the time, Robert Muller, that there was blackmail, bribery, extortion,

1434
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: and kickbacks going on. It still happened, and the people

1435
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 1: involved kickback one hundred and forty five million of the

1436
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: Clinton Foundation. So if we cared about Russian influence, we

1437
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 1: would be also covering those stories, and they're not in

1438
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 1: the particular cases I'm mentioning here. I feel like I

1439
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: have real evidence in corroboration where they have none as

1440
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: it relates to Trump. So the double standard is glaring

1441
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: to me. Well, Shan, you lay out a very plausible case,

1442
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: and I think this should be an investigation of all

1443
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: of that. And I give all of the people you're

1444
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: referring to the presuction of innocence. Oh, I hang on

1445
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: one second, Why don't we pick it up there? But

1446
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: I want to give you a full chance to respond

1447
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: more with John Sale eight hundred nine one Sean. Right,

1448
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: as we continue with John Sale, former federal prosecutors served

1449
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: in the Southern District of New York and also served

1450
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,680
Speaker 1: as an assistant special Watergate prosecutor. Right, I gave you

1451
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,519
Speaker 1: this whole litany of where I believe the double standard is,

1452
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:42,680
Speaker 1: and you were saying, I was saying before you had

1453
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 1: to go to the break, that you lay out a

1454
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 1: very plausible case, and I think it should all be

1455
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: investigated by a legitimate, appropriate investigator, probably the depaupuit of justice.

1456
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. I think there's too many special

1457
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,879
Speaker 1: counsels around. Having been part of a special prosecution in Watergate,

1458
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think we all came away thinking that

1459
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: there's a problem. You have to do it right, but

1460
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: there's really no accountability. That's the danger with a special counsel.

1461
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 1: But switching to the president, if I think that should

1462
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: be investigated, and I think every person you mentioned should

1463
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: get the presumption of innocence, but where is that presumption

1464
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: of innocence for the president? I mean? And you? But

1465
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 1: how can we justify all the time, two years worth

1466
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: of investigated work with no evidence and then they're going

1467
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: after people, you know with thirty five years of serving

1468
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 1: their country, track records of you know, on a lying

1469
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: to the FBI. Doesn't that by the way, doesn't that

1470
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: render Doesn't that take away motivation for those of us

1471
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 1: to love the FBI from ever wanting to talk to them.

1472
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 1: If that's the result, well, I think we should respect

1473
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: the FBI. I think most do respetomen who I know,

1474
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 1: I know you do, And because I have an active

1475
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: law practice in Miami and I deal with the FBI

1476
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: all the time, and most of them are one of

1477
01:18:55,920 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 1: the best chins. But but Sean, it's it's not the FBI.

1478
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's uh, just what's going on possibly with

1479
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: a few individuals. But again I don't want to prejudge them,

1480
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: but I would say other people who are prejudging the

1481
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: president and making outrageous statements based upon nothing and that

1482
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: based upon redactions. I gotta run John Salem just away behind.

1483
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend. Eight hundred nine for one, Sean,

1484
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number. There's a voice of sanity in

1485
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,599
Speaker 1: this finally quick break right back. We'll continue all right

1486
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: twenty five now till the top of the hour. Toll

1487
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: free telephone numbers eight hundred and nine for one, Sean.

1488
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program,

1489
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,640
Speaker 1: I can't tell you everything I'm doing tomorrow until I

1490
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,759
Speaker 1: get on the air tomorrow. But I'm doing something very cool.

1491
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 1: And you know at this time of year, especially knowing

1492
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 1: all of you in this audience, your great love, your passion,

1493
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:54,759
Speaker 1: your understanding of the sacrifice of so many others for us.

1494
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: One group we've really gotten to know in recent years

1495
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: as Troops Direct. They're an organization gets that gets needed supplies,

1496
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: tools to deploy troops. And I'm not saying this. We

1497
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: work with a lot of military charities, but they get

1498
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 1: the supplies to the troops that they need and the

1499
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: tools they need when they're sent overseas, so they're not underprepared.

1500
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 1: And it's donations from we the people, the American people,

1501
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,639
Speaker 1: that keep this nonprofit organization going all year long. And

1502
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, look, we go about our daily lives. We

1503
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: don't stop every minute, every second of every day and

1504
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: think about what sacrifice goes on behind the scenes and

1505
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 1: on the front lines for us. But at this time

1506
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: of year, we think about giving, and we think about

1507
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:40,799
Speaker 1: all that we have. And one of the great blessings

1508
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: we have are so many men and women that want us,

1509
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: serve us and keep us free so that we can

1510
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: live in peace. Our brave men and women, and they

1511
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: sacrifice a lot to do it. Their family sacrifice a

1512
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: lot to let them do it. Anyway, joining us now

1513
01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: is Aaron Narbomb, who's with us, founder executive director, and

1514
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 1: Jake Jones is with us. Guys, how are you good

1515
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,639
Speaker 1: to talk to you again? What's going on? Hie afternoon?

1516
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 1: How are you you know? The only thing I don't

1517
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:12,560
Speaker 1: understand is why for example, we're deploying people without needed helmets,

1518
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: body armor, carriers and some fundamental things that the government

1519
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: should be providing. We now had a big increase in

1520
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,720
Speaker 1: our military budget. Why are they still without some basics? Well,

1521
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, Sean and I founded Troops Direct in twenty ten.

1522
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: That was the question I asked as well. And I

1523
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 1: thought our troops had everything that they needed when they

1524
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,719
Speaker 1: were in harm's way defending our country. And I found

1525
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,480
Speaker 1: that that was just not the case because of bureaucracy's

1526
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: red tape, the slow logistics sometimes the military that our

1527
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: troops need things immediately for their missions and to protect

1528
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 1: their lives and the lives of their brethren in a

1529
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: manner that's quicker sometimes in the military supply chain is

1530
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 1: And we have I have Jake Jones who works full

1531
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: time for US, who was a recipient of our support,

1532
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 1: and he said, I need to be a part of this.

1533
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: And you know that's why we exist, is to support

1534
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 1: our troops immediately, to help them get their jobs done

1535
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 1: and get them back home. But Sean, I'll let Jake

1536
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 1: speak more to it. Jake, why don't you, you know,

1537
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: fill us in on all the things that you guys

1538
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 1: are doing and the things that they need, well, it's

1539
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: really a myriad of things. Sean. We support anything that

1540
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: doesn't go boomer banks for r compliant vendors. So it's

1541
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: anything from boots to rifle scopes, laser rangefinders, helmets, body armor,

1542
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: advanced medical kits, and these things are in demand every day.

1543
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean I spend proximately kinds of thousands of dollars

1544
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: monthly in the support that we provide to our service

1545
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 1: members overseas. And it's all done to the patriotic donations

1546
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: of just mom and pops from around all around the

1547
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: United States that just want to keep America's sons and

1548
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: daughters secure. All right, So tell me, you know, so

1549
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: how does it work here? You know, you tell stories.

1550
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: I know there was a case where a generator that

1551
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: was powering us a remote special opts outposts failed and

1552
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: replacement parts one or twelve month backwater. Through the military

1553
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 1: supply chain, you were able to acquire and ship those

1554
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 1: needed parts in less than seventy two hours. You know,

1555
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: that's my numbing bureaucracy to me, that's the kind of

1556
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 1: thing that drives me crazy. But or when a unit

1557
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: was rushed to fight terrorism, in the Middle East, but

1558
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: they didn't have the necessary communications equipment. I agree most

1559
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:23,680
Speaker 1: of this help was needed in the Obama years. Are

1560
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: you seeing a shift and a change though under the

1561
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: Trump administration, considering they now have you know, considerably increased

1562
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 1: the military budget and general matters, we are seeing an

1563
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: increase the support through the new Trump administration, whether our

1564
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: ability to with rules of engagement or engagement authorities being

1565
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: pushed down to the tactical level as opposed to the

1566
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 1: previous administration where it was at the general Walster level.

1567
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: But yet you know, the endless terrorists game of lackable

1568
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: if you will, that's global. We need to have the

1569
01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:00,160
Speaker 1: ability to surge assets at a moment's notice, and that's

1570
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: really what we're seeing now is the fluidity of the situation.

1571
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,440
Speaker 1: For us to go out and remove terrorists in the battlefield,

1572
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,640
Speaker 1: we have to be agile enough to do it, and

1573
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 1: the government doesn't allow them to do that because of

1574
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: the contracting requirements. So we can click and shift anything

1575
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: in the world, anything globally within ten to fifteen minutes

1576
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 1: if it's in stock, and if it's not, I'll get

1577
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: it in stock and get it out the door. Suit

1578
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:25,760
Speaker 1: as possible. And you know, Sean, one thing that the

1579
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:29,760
Speaker 1: public doesn't realize is that we have Americans serving right

1580
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: now as this program airs in over one hundred and

1581
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: thirty countries around the globe, whether it's your special Operations

1582
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 1: teams or it's your regular old infantry service member, and

1583
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: they need things sometimes quicker than that airplane from the

1584
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: military can get there. And that's why Troops Direct is

1585
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: so valuable, because our service members know what they need

1586
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: right now to get their job done. And I can

1587
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: tell you we've unfortunately seen casualties out there in the

1588
01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: battle space with the units that we have suppli through

1589
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,639
Speaker 1: the years, but those Americans have said that without Troops Direct,

1590
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: less missions would be accomplished and more lives would have

1591
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: been lost if it wasn't for the support that we

1592
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 1: provide them. And as you know, Sean, we are the

1593
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 1: only ones out there that do what we do for

1594
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,640
Speaker 1: our Americans every single you know, people forget too. We

1595
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 1: have Americans deployed, and I know it's hard to believe

1596
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:24,640
Speaker 1: in one hundred and thirty different countries, and this is

1597
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 1: a vital role that you guys have playing. Look, the

1598
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:28,799
Speaker 1: bottom line is I wanted to have you on, explain

1599
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 1: it to our audience and how can they help. We

1600
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 1: have a very generous audience, especially with military matters. You're

1601
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 1: specifically getting them really important things so they can do

1602
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 1: their job. You know, uniforms, helmets, communication equipment, life support here.

1603
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: So if somebody wants to help and you get to

1604
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: bypass all the bureaucracy, how can they do it? They

1605
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 1: can go to troops direct dot org and make a

1606
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 1: donation today. You know, our overhead is less than two

1607
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 1: percent here, and if you're really say you support the troops,

1608
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: this is the way to do it. Yeah, the troops

1609
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: like cookies and candy, but the troops need life support systems.

1610
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 1: The troops need replacement uniforms because there's are bloodied and torn.

1611
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 1: They need the communications that have failed while they're in

1612
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: the battle space, and we're the ones that they come

1613
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 1: to to get them now. So the best Christmas gift

1614
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: we can give our troops is the products they needs

1615
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 1: they can get back home to their families and so well,

1616
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a donation. I don't ask my audience

1617
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 1: to do something that I myself won't do, and I'm

1618
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 1: gladly give to a great cause such as this, we'll

1619
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: put it up on Hannity dot com, troops direct dot

1620
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 1: org and there's also all the information you'd ever want

1621
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: to check out the good work that they're doing every day.

1622
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: And Merry Christmas to you guys, and you know, godspeed

1623
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: and what you're doing. And our thoughts and prayers are

1624

01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 1: sacrifice so much for us to give us the opportunities

1626

Speaker 1: we have every day. Well, Sean, you've been a longtime

Speaker 1: our troops through your advocacy. Well, we appreciate it, and

1631

Speaker 1: for being with us. We appreciate it. We Aaron, thank you, Jake,

1634
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 1: thanks you as well. Eight hundred nine four one, Sean

1635
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: is on number. Greg is in Ohio. Greg, Hi, how

1636
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: are you welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Hello, Sean,

1637
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 1: just want to say that I've been listening to you

1638
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: for a long time since actually since two thousand and eight,

1639
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 1: and I keep here and over and over again. How

1640
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: you know about this smaller investigation. The way to stop it,

1641
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 1: I think is for whoever's being investigated, whoever has been

1642
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: found guilty of anything that he's uncovered, should just go

1643
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 1: and have it all reversed, because it's all through the

1644
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: poisonous tree. None of this investigation would have started without

1645
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 1: that dossier, and we know that dossier is false. Listen,

1646
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: I the double standards. What is amazing to me. It's

1647
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:05,439
Speaker 1: so funny because Friday there was a you could feel

1648
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 1: it in the air. They thought they had the president.

1649
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 1: Then that they got to the inner writings of the

1650
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: sentencing recommendations and the Cone case and the Metaphor case,

1651
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,240
Speaker 1: and when you really break it down, they had nothing.

1652
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing Russia. There's still nothing Russia. I mean, it's amazing.

1653
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 1: And then go to Friday's transcript of Jim Comey, and

1654
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 1: Jim Comey you know, said that, oh, when I was fired,

1655
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: we still hadn't found anything about Russia. That's nine months

1656
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,719
Speaker 1: after this whole thing began, nearly a year. Lisa Page

1657
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 1: had said the same thing. And what you then have

1658
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: is that nassier that Clinton wought for that became the

1659
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 1: basis again unverified. That's that's the other amazing thing. He said, No,

1660
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 1: we never verified it, but he put his name to it.

1661
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:53,639
Speaker 1: And that Russian lying dossier that was paid for ought

1662
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 1: to be as important to the investigation of Muller or

1663
01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: we need another special counsel to really look into it.

1664
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: To that separately, and Uranium one separately. But there's real

1665
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 1: evidence and proof here and all that. The only thing

1666
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: they went back on is this whole issue of campaign finance,

1667
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 1: which I outlined earlier in the program today, and I

1668
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: go back there is nothing there for them legally at all,

1669
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 1: in spite of what you are hearing. Nothing. So it's

1670
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 1: so these are pretty amazing times that we live in.

1671
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 1: And I'm just convinced that you're gonna fee they're gonna

1672
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,560
Speaker 1: rise up and say that we gotta impeachment, impeachment. But

1673
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: they've been saying that from two years and it's still

1674
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 1: the same people. You know, if you really listen, just

1675
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 1: gets louder at times and then it lessens. And look,

1676
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 1: Muller's gonna do his thing. He's gonna write his report,

1677
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 1: Julianni will write his report, and there's not going to

1678
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 1: be any crimes you can indict a sitting president in

1679
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: any way, and the Trump administration is going to go on.

1680
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:52,680
Speaker 1: But as you're watching all of this unfold and then

1681
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: the new investigations in Congress, just to ask yourself, you know,

1682
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: how is this all for the benefit of the American people.

1683
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 1: It's going to help the average American? Is going to

1684
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,240
Speaker 1: keep us safer as a country? Is it going to

1685
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 1: provide more opportunities for Americans? And the answer is going

1686
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 1: to be a resounding no. And that means that they're

1687
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 1: doing this purely out of a hatred and a power

1688
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 1: play that they have orchestrated. You know, public servants are

1689
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 1: supposed to serve their constituents, the people. We the people.

1690
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: That's what was so powerful about the Pelosi, Trump and

1691
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,800
Speaker 1: Schumer exchange. It's the President's like, no, my job is

1692
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 1: to keep the American people safe, and they just can't

1693
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: deal with that reality. It's been a big issue anyway.

1694
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine for one, Shaun is on number of

1695
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 1: a big time AJ Houston, Texas. What's going on, baby?

1696
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 1: How are you? What's going on? Oh? Manqui? Happy thanks

Speaker 1: sucking up to Linda. Everybody's always sucking up to Linda

1699
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 1: on a phone call earlier today, they're sucking up to Lenda.

1700
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 1: Then I would not mistake true friendship and affection for

1701
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 1: sucking up. You know, some people just like other people, no,

1702
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 1: because they know that you hold the keys to the

1703
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 1: kingdom and people can get past your kingdom. Is that

1704
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 1: to get to me? What I don't know. I don't

1705
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: have any kingdom. My kingdom is a he's just like

01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:51,439
Speaker 1: President Trump is for, all the media have egg on.

1714
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 1: They think this man is for the people, This man

1715
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:57,759
Speaker 1: is for this country. You see what, Nancy, They dirty

1716
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 1: rat and I said it, and I don't get me.

01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:02,840
Speaker 1: They done it. Rat. They don't care for America. They

1718
01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:05,559
Speaker 1: don't care for our safety. We didn't have these egals.

1719
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,240
Speaker 1: Like Trump said, we got people coming in here. They're

1720
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,680
Speaker 1: doing bad things to this country, and they won't two

1721
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 1: meeting more or two thousand. I don't. Trump is a man,

1722
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 1: and don't let nobody fool you people. This man up

Speaker 1: there making deals, This man up there cared about the country.

1724
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:24,719
Speaker 1: And if we set back and that the left wing media,

1734
01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,000

1735
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:02,920
Speaker 1: isn't real, it's empty, and then they're never gonna respond.

1736
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 1: So all of that is getting done, some of it

1737
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,519
Speaker 1: already has gotten the same with NATO. Why do we

1738
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 1: have to pay the bulk of NATO, while Angela Merkel

1739
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 1: stupidly is making multi billion dollars deals to make Putin

1740
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:19,720
Speaker 1: and Russia rich again, and their entire commodity is based on,
