WEBVTT - Not Backing Down - 12.11

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>That was just why people love and fight so hard

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump. Earlier today, glad you with us eight

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred and nine for one, Shawn, if you want to

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>be a part of the program, so the president, the

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Vice president of there. The body language is priceless, it

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>really is. And I'll play parts of it here. Maybe

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll play more of it later. But just amazing exchange

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>with Pelosi and Schumer. Now, I remember, we've got the

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>old Democrats, and at some point in the program I'll

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>replay for you the Democrats in the Obama years sounded

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>just like Donald Trump on the border, on illegal immigration,

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>on the wall, on everything, and that it means all

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>of them, including Hillary, including Obama, including Schumer, including Pelosi,

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 1>they were all in the same spot. By the way,

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>there's just breaking in the Washington Post. It just doesn't

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>get any better than this. Moments after returning to Capitol

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Hill after an oval office stand with President Trump, House

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi questioned Trump's manhood. I'm not making

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>this up in the Washington Post. I swear no where

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>did I get it? Hang on? Maybe not the Washington Post. Yeah,

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>it's Washington Post manhood and said the border wall is

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a matter of masculine pride. Wow, it's like a manhood

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>thing for him, as if manhood could ever be associated

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 1>with him. This wall thing, she said, Well, this wall thing.

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, you would think that maybe she would recognize

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that there were many angel moms and dads out there

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>like Kate Steinley, I believe was in San Francisco and

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>what happens sometimes when illegal immigrants. But of course she

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>lives in a sanctuary state, in a sanctuary city. And

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>she made the remarks in a Democratic Caucus committee meeting

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>where she was recounted, which were recounted by an aide

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>president and not authorized to comment. She told the colleagues

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that she was trying to be a mom in the

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:06.279
<v Speaker 1>room while Trump and Chucky Schumer bickered about coming about

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the coming funding a showdown on the wall. But she

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>had described Trump's admission during the seventeen minute on camera

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>battle that he would be proud to shut the government

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>down as a political triumph. You know, there's a myth

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that somehow these government shutdowns hurt Republicans. They don't remember

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>they said that when Ted Cruz had the nerve to

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>dare to go up and do a real filibuster for

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>like twenty four hours and were they blaming him for

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen ended up being a great year for Republicans

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>as it relates to the Senate. Let me just play

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple of the key moments just to give you

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>a flavor of what this was like in the Oval

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>office today, and we'll get to the heart of where

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>this is all headed and why this is good. Okay,

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>let us have our conversation now that you need would

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 1>the press again, But the fact is, is that legislating

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and which is what we do? You begin to make

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>it to your point to state your case. That's what

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the House would publicans do if they had the votes.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>But there are no votes in the House majority of

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>votes for a wall, no matter where exactly right, you don't.

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>If I needed the votes for the wall in the House,

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I would have them in one session. That would be done.

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>They'll do it. It doesn't help because we need ten

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Democrats and the put put it on into Okay, let

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>me ask you this just and we're doing this in

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>a very friendly manner. It doesn't help for me to

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>take a vote in the House where I will win

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.399
<v Speaker 1>easily with the Republicans when it doesn't help to take

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that vote because I'm not going to get the vote

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of the Senate. I need ten senators. That's the problem.

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>You have the White House, the Senate. I have the

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>White House. The White House is done, and the House

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>would give me the vote if I wanted it, but

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I can't because I need Nancy. I need ten votes

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>from Chuck or let me say something. Let me get

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>say White done. The fact you do not have the

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>votes in the House, Nancy, I do. And we need

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>border security, Nancy, Nancy, we need border securities very severe.

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>We need border security injected and says, yeah, here's what

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to say. We have a lot of disagreements here.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>The Washington Post today gave you a whole lot of

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>pinocchios because they say you constantly misstate how much the

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>wall is built, how much of the wall is built,

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and how much is there. But that's not the point here.

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>We have a disagreement about the wall, Washington, whether it's

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>effective or or not. On board of security, but on

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the wall. We do not want to shut down the government.

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>You have called twenty times to shut down the government.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Who say I want to shut down the government, We don't.

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>We want to come to an agreement. If we can't

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>come to an agreement, we have solutions that will pass

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the House and Senate right now, and we'll not shut

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>down the government. And that's what we're urging you to do.

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Not threatened to shut down the government because you let

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>me just finish for them, because you can't catch it

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>way you shut it down. Yet, let me say something

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 1>as the president, you just say my way, or will

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>shut down the government. We have a proposal that will

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Democrats and Republicans will support to do a cr that

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>will not shut down the government. We urge you to

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.840
<v Speaker 1>take it. If it's not good border security out it

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>is very good. If it's not good order security, I

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>will take it's because when you look at these numbers

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>of the effectiveness of our border security, and when you

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>look at the job that we're doing, what you said

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>it is effective. Can I be Can I tell you

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>something you just said, without a wall, these are only

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>areas where you have the wolf you want to do.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You have walls, Chuck, it's effective. Well, you don't have walls.

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>It is not effective. One thing I think we can

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>agree on is we shouldn't shut down the government over

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>a dispute and you want to shut it down, and

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 1>you're not talking about the last time, Chuck, you shut

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>it then no, no, no, and then you any time quickly.

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want to do what you did twenty

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 1>times you have called for. I will shut down the

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>government if I don't get my wall, none of us.

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 1>If you want to know something you said you want

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to put them and said it, I'll take it. Okay, good,

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'll say. Yes, if we don't get

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 1>what we want one way or the other, whether it's

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>through you, through a military, through anything you want to call,

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I will shut down the governay, absolute enough, And I

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>am proud and I'll be disagree. I am proud to

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>people of this country don't want criminals and people that

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country.

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>So I will take the mental. I will be the

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 1>you for it. The last time you shut it down,

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>it didn't work. I will take the mental of shutting

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>down and I'm going to shut it down for border.

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>But we believe you shouldn't shut it down. These are

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>only areas where you have the world want to do.

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>You have walls, Chuck, it's effective. Were you don't have walls,

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.039
<v Speaker 1>it is not effective. Yeah, that's calohl to this. We've

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>come in here as the first branch of government, Article one,

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the legislative places, but coming in good faith to negotiate

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>with you about how we can keep the government open.

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna keep it open if we have border security.

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>If we don't have border security, we're not going to

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>keep the doll mean, we haven't had lawyers and it's

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the same border. You're bragging about what has been done.

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But we want to do the same thing we did

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>last year this year. That's our proposal. If it's good,

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.720
<v Speaker 1>then it's good now, and it won't shut down the

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>check we can build up in private. Let's debate in private.

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>This is not going well for me. This has to

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>end right now. You know, this is what people want

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>in terms of if you're gonna fight, fight for something

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the American people that you promised the American people you do.

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>This is what was missing when Trump first gets in

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the office in twenty seventeen. All those Republicans have voted

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 1>sixty five times to appeal and replace. We're nowhere to

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>be found. If they would have fought like that, all

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of those people, we would have repealed and replace all

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of it. We only got rid of the individual mandate

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>because that was thrown into another supplemental bill of some kind.

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Now it's the same thing with the wall. What the

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>President is saying. The polls show absolutely dramatically that the

0:07:55.360 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>American people we you, we the people want border security.

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>It's really that simple. There's a January twenty eighteen Havid

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Harris Pole where eighty one percent of those surveys want

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 1>immigration slashed, seventy nine percent want secure borders, seventy nine

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>percent want merit based immigration, sixty eight percent want an

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>end of the visa lottery, sixty five percent want a

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>dock a deal with no amnesty, sixty one percent say

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the current border is inadequate and say no docer relatives,

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and fifty four percent won the wall. It's a winning issue.

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll take responsibility. Yeah, I'm going to shut down the government.

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Is this is what's been missing. Like the seven Senators

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>in twenty fifteen that voted just to repeal Obamacare, the

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>same exact bill, same exact language, and they, oh, they

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't really mean it in twenty fifteen when it would

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>have mattered. In twenty seventeen, they were nowhere to be found.

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty pathetic, but it's they keep trying to get

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 1>this president to back down on the border wall, and

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna do it. He's only asking for five billion,

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>he's not asking for all of it. We have three

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and a half i think or four billion already allocated

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.439
<v Speaker 1>to it. And the president and they want to we're

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna blame you, and he said, I'll take that. I

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>won't blame you. I'll absolutely I'm gonna I'm gonna fund

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the wall, or blame me. Now these government shutdowns, essential

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:24.959
<v Speaker 1>services all continue. Everyone gets their Social Security check. That's

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>hospitals they open, Our Defense department is up and running,

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and intel services. It's you know what happens when government shutdowns.

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>You got a bunch of bureaucrats that get a free

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.439
<v Speaker 1>vacation because we always end up giving them back pay

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>for whatever time or days they have off. Now they

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 1>can try all they want. Maybe they think that Mitch

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>McConnell is afraid of a government shutdown, and maybe he is,

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>but it is a top priority that the President you know,

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason Republicans have felt under Obama now under Trump,

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter who's in office, they don't want to get blamed.

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why Paul Ryan is almost as afraid

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of a showdown and shut down as Mitch McConnell. Maybe

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>he just hides it a little better. But the problem

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>for Chuck and Nancy is they're not dealing with Paul Ryan.

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 1>They're not dealing with Mitch McConnell. If they were, they'd

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>be able to steamroll the GOP within a few minutes.

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>You got a president that's saying, no, it's not going

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>to continue. We're going to fulfill a promise, and I'm

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>going to fight to fulfill the promise. And if that

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 1>means you don't want to fund it, that's fine, but

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>there are going to be ramifications and he's holding the line. Now.

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Another good thing that's happened in all of this Lindsey Graham.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 1>He's saying the exact say, this is the fight we're

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>going to have. He needs to dig in, meaning the

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>president and a liberal arrogance, take it on and stare

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>it down. This is a new and revitalize Lindsey Graham,

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 1>which I'm very happy to see. Now. The President also

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>said in his warning congressional democrats, remember he's just sent

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>down the military to build and put up the you

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>don't call it barbed wire, what is it razor wire

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>fences down there, which were very helpful, and the lead

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>up to the caravan coming, and we saw what happened

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>when some of them tried to bang down one of

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>our borders, and bottles and rocks were be impelted at

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>at our border troops and ice agents down there. Anyway,

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>so the AP reported the President threatened repeatedly today to

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>shut down the government if Congress doesn't provide the money. Now,

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>notice he kept the press in the room for that exchange.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Chuck ship, we want to do this in private. Why

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>because then they can come out and mischaracterize what happened

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>in private. So Trump's comments come as he opened this

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 1>contentious meeting with Schumer and Pelosi, and they both said

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>legislation to keep the government open and provide additional border

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>security could pass. But Chuck has said, well, I want

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.199
<v Speaker 1>a fence. We don't need a wall a fence. I

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>got a chain link fence. I can tell you that

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't I have deers sometimes running in my backyard.

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>They leap over it like it's nothing. I mean, people

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.040
<v Speaker 1>just cut through a wire fence, simple and easily. And

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 1>the purpose is to keep people safe on both sides

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 1>of the border, to protect American laws and American sovereignty,

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and to stop what we now know that sixty seven

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>percent of people that are in this country illegally, that

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>they are on American assistance at a greater rate, sixty

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>seven percent greater rate than the American people. We know

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 1>now a study that came out weeks ago, seventy thousand

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>dollars per illegal immigrant in this country. We the taxpayers,

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>we foot the bill that's for the educational system, the

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 1>healthcare system, the criminal justice system. And then of course,

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>on top of it, you have people that we noticed

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>in the caravan. We identified between us in Mexico, six

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred criminals that we're trying to get across the border.

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>If you have an open border, they can get in.

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Anything like the caravan would ever cease to happen if

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>you had the border wall properly built all the way

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>across the southern border. So I like this, this is

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>what you know. Everyone says, well, the president fights too

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>much on Twitter okay, but when he's fighting to keep

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the promises he made, it's worth it because this needs,

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>this fight needs to happen. And let me tell you,

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi going back to our caucus and talking about

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>his manhood shows that they are just they are out

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of their league in terms of negotiating and dealing with

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the President. And they can throw all the subpoena cannons

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>they want at them, it's not going to matter. And

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, just like campaign finance,

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>no that's not a problem either. Hey guys, remember when

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you need gifts that you need to bring a smile

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to somebody's face. One eight hundred flowers dot com. They

<v Speaker 1>an anniversary that slipped your mind, or maybe you just

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>want to get ahead and deliver something just because you

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:40.920

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>right now, when you order twelve peppermint roses for twenty

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.040

<v Speaker 1>Now to order twelve peppermint roses for twenty nine ninety

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>nine plus another half dozen roses and a free base,

<v Speaker 1>just go to one eight hundred flowers dot com slash Hannity.

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>That's one eight hundred flowers dot com slash Hannity. But

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you gotta hurry. This offer ends on Friday. You know,

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have to start monitoring a little more. The

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>rising Democratic star Acasio Cortez apparently called war hero General

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>John Kelly a coward. Um. She just you know, the

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>things she's saying on a daily basis are just nuts.

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>You know that General Kelly lost his son fighting for

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 1>his country. And where's the apology. I'm sure that's forthcoming

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>any minute now, all right, eight hundred nine point on.

0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>This is this is the showdown, This is is what

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>this We ought to be thankful for these moments that

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>finally and I know, you know, everyone talks to me about, well,

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the president's style and he's he's combative and he fights,

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know why does he always say these things

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter? Because that's his nature. But when the president

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>fights and gets the reductions in the bureaucracy that lead

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to the good news that we gave you yesterday, that

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>we're energy independent and now exporting more energy than we

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 1>have in seventy years. We have NATO now countries now

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 1>stepping up to pay their fair share. We have four

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and a half million new jobs, four hundred thousand manufacturing jobs,

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>three and a half million people off the food stamp roles,

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know, another four million out of poverty, first

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>time in seventy five years. The US is not dependent

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 1>on foreign oil. I mean, I mean, that's what you

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>want in a president. By the way, just as Kavanaugh, well,

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 1>that was not a good first ruling on his part.

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Their early decision involving abortionity decided with the liberal left

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of the court and declining to hear a case that

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 1>could have allowed states to defund planned parenthood in state

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>medicaid programs. And I think Clarence Thomas was not happy,

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and you know it was very strong in his descent,

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>saying why are we punting? We'll continue smoking is not

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 1>about politics, it's about people. There are thirty four million

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Americans that smoke. For me, Jewel was a game changer

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>because you switch to Jewel, It's simple, it's satisfying, and

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>no more smell. I watched people all the time they

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 1>run outside and the freezing coal could be grabbing their cigarette. Well,

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>with Jewel, you'll take a quick puff and you're good.

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>That's it now. Jewel is designed which smokers in mind.

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>From its form to technology. It's easy to use, no buttons,

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>no switches, and the goal of Jewel is to impact

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:57.760

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be talking about. Vorter security. If we don't

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 1>have vorter security, we'll shut down the government. This country

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>needs border security. The wall is a part of voter security.

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's have a talk. We're gonna get the wall built.

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 1>And we've done a lot of wall already. Bigger part

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 1>of border security is the wall. It's a big section.

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a big part of it. Everything that you need,

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a big part of it. We need to have

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.879
<v Speaker 1>effective border security. We need a wall in certain parts. No,

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>not in all parts, but in certain parts of a

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>two thousand mile border. We need a wall. How much

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:58.959
<v Speaker 1>money we are doing it? Much under budget? We're actually

0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>way under budget the areas that we've renovated, in areas

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>that we've built. I would say if we got if

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.119
<v Speaker 1>we got five billion dollars, we could do a tremendous

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>chunkle wall. Guests, well, we're gonna see, We're gonna see. Look,

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>we have to have the wall. This isn't a question.

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.720
<v Speaker 1>This is a national emergency. Drugs are pouring into our country.

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 1>People with tremendous medical difficulty and medical problems hop pouring

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>in and in many in many cases that it's contagious.

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 1>They're pouring into our country. We have to have water security.

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 1>We have to have a wall as part of water security.

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>And that was the President allowing the press to stay

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.360
<v Speaker 1>in this meeting with Chuck Schumer and with Nancy Pelosi

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 1>and Chuck Schum Please please can we speak about this privately?

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Pretty please? Um? And they're just you're gonna shut down

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the government? What? How is a government shutdown? Why is this?

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>There always been an inordinate fear when every key part

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of government stays up and running and is funded and

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.719
<v Speaker 1>you just throw continuing resolutions at it and the military

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and checks to seniors and nobody gets hurt. If anything.

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>The people that get free vacations, paid vacations ought to

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.360
<v Speaker 1>be happy about it. But I'm not saying they don't

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.480
<v Speaker 1>do important work. But I'm saying it never is the

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>great threat that people make it out to be. This

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>is about having been down that this is the opportunity

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 1>we have. This is the moment. And if you want,

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 1>if you ever want to be a politician, let me

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you. My advice to you is, if you make promises,

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 1>keep them. If you promise to serve the people where

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.919
<v Speaker 1>you live in your state and your district, then serve them,

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 1>not yourself. Asking people now, every time you watch what

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>they're calling the canons of subpoenas that they're going to

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.120
<v Speaker 1>throw at the Trump administration every day, and Adam Schiff

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and Gerald Nadler and everybody in company. It's not a

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>winning strategy because than not serving the American people, they're

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:07.200
<v Speaker 1>serving their own political power grab agenda. Period. And as

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you listen, as we start the new year next year,

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.880
<v Speaker 1>we're going to follow these people like they've never been followed. There.

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Every word, they're every comment, We will have every insane

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.720
<v Speaker 1>thing they say. Nancy Pelosi leaves this meeting with Donald

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump and says this is a manhood issue for him.

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>This wall, it's nut. They're nuts. I've been down there

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 1>at thirteen times. I've seen people arrested, seen a gang

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 1>member arrested. I've also watched the spending, the drug warehouses,

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 1>seen the tunnels, seen the vulnerability. You know, sixty seven

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 1>percent of people now higher percentage of people illegal immigrants,

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.360
<v Speaker 1>that need government services, welfare, etc. And we're paying all

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>of this. I don't think it's too much to ask

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>that people respect our laws, our sovereignty, and they go

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 1>through the process legally. That's all we're asking. I don't

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 1>think it's that much to ask for. And I also

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:02.679
<v Speaker 1>think On the political side of this, I mentioned the

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>poll before. It's a winning political issue. The Harvard Harris poll,

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 1>eighty one percent want immigration slashed, a seventy nine percent

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:14.680
<v Speaker 1>want secure borders, seventy nine percent want merit based immigration.

0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Part of that means we vet the people and they

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:19.160
<v Speaker 1>have to show they have the ability to take care

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 1>of themselves. While here sixty eight percent want to end

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the visa lottery, sixty five percent want to dock a

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.679
<v Speaker 1>deal with no amnesty, and sixty one percent say the

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 1>current border is inadequate and it is, and sixty percent

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 1>say no to docer relatives, and fifty four percent want

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:40.199
<v Speaker 1>the wall. So the president, in true Trumpian form, is

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:43.639
<v Speaker 1>standing by his words and that's what we want. And

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 1>he's saying, look, Chuck, too bad, this is what we need.

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I am the commander in chief, Nancy Plosi. One point,

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.879
<v Speaker 1>where the first branch of government where the legislative branch

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 1>of government. Right, he's the president and he's the executive

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 1>branch of government, and he's also the commander in chief.

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Is part of his duties, and to stop human trafficking

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and drug trafficking along our southern borders is a good idea.

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.160
<v Speaker 1>And it's costing every illegal immigrant according to a study

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>from a couple of weeks ago, seventy grand per illegal immigrant. Well,

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 1>we have plenty of Americans that need help here. First,

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 1>not against having a big door in an open legal

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>immigration system, but it's got to be legal certain things anyway.

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So the President also is saying repeatedly that hey, listen,

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 1>if I have to, I'll have the military build it. Now.

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.680
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be interesting as we watch that to

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 1>watch Democrats arguing they're going to claim the military is

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:45.639
<v Speaker 1>no business protecting America from thousands of illegal immigrants that

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>are invading our borders. Democrat Bernie Thompson, they up becoming

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a Homeland Security chairman, said using the military to build

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:54.679
<v Speaker 1>the wall just doesn't make any sense. I can think

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of a lot more important things we could do with

0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the military than build a fence. We're not building a fence,

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 1>we're building a wall. On the other hand, you got

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>key Republicans Republican chairman of the Senate Arm Services Committee

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Appropriations committees both saying today that they would consider the

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 1>president's newest suggestion that in fact, the Pentagon build the

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>southern border wall. And if that's what it comes down

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to Richard Shelby, Senator Appropriations Committee chair, who would oversee

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the Pentagon spending on a border wall, said, the President

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>has got a lot of leeway on all of this

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 1>because under the Constitution, he has the right and the

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.679
<v Speaker 1>duty to defend the nation and protect the borders and

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.400
<v Speaker 1>everything that goes with it. Jim Inhoff, Senate Arm Services

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Committee said he spoke with the President last week about

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 1>his bill that raises what he says is enough revenue

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:44.879
<v Speaker 1>to pay for the wall. Directing the military to build

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the wall, possibly out of military construction funds, could also

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 1>be an option if if they push, If the push

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>by Inhoff and other defense appropriators, you know, works for

0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred and fifty billion dollar defense budget plan that

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 1>is coming next year. That's a big amount of money,

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and certainly we have other areas that need fixing, but

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:09.680
<v Speaker 1>this is priority number one. This is gonna be fun

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to watch. I'll tell you that. We'll get back to

0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:15.000
<v Speaker 1>this later in the program today. You know what's amazing

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 1>something to watch. There are hundreds of Congressmen that paid

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:27.639
<v Speaker 1>apparently millions of dollars in taxpayer funded hush money to

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 1>those that are claiming some type of sexual harassment or worse.

0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:35.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, with all the talk, I wonder how many

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>of these are Democrats. Now. The problem is, you know,

0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>everyone's making arguments that's somehow a non disclosure agreement that

0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the President might have gone into with somebody twelve years ago.

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>And these agreements are far more common than you ever think.

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, people will say, all right, well it's worth

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.520
<v Speaker 1>this much if I litigate it and I got whatever,

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't need the headache. Let's just we'll come to

0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:01.479
<v Speaker 1>a deal whatever happens. So sometimes it's done for those reasons,

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes for legitimate reasons, and it's hard to know the difference.

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 1>But that's an individual making an agreement on their own

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 1>using their own money. Very different if you work for

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the government. For example, if the House wants to really

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 1>push this issue of a campaign finance violation, I said, well,

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 1>let them push it as hard as they want to

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:27.400
<v Speaker 1>push it. Because if you go back to November twenty seventeen,

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:29.159
<v Speaker 1>it was The New York Post that broke the story,

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>telling the story of Representative Jackie Spire that millions of

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>dollars had been doled out to allege victims of harassment

0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:39.880
<v Speaker 1>from congressional members over the past decade. Many of these

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>members still working there, and she testified the current members

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 1>of Congress who are known sex harassers, and that fifteen

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 1>million dollars in taxpayer hush money has been made to accusers.

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:55.159
<v Speaker 1>So as you hear the sanctimony over, well, we couldn't

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 1>get them on Russia. There's no Russian collusion at all.

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 1>And their hopes and dreams what they would get out

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 1>of Muller's filings last Friday didn't come to fruition. Then

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they all settled on a well, we think he broke

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a campaign finance law and I'm watching this unfold here. Well,

0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 1>if that's the case, then well then I think we

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 1>have a pretty strong case about campaign finance violations as

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:22.400
<v Speaker 1>it relates to oh maybe Hillary Clinton. And that case

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 1>was made in a piece by Mark Penn because the

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Steel dossier was at least partially paid for by the

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>DNC Committee law firm. Remember they funneled money the Clinton campaign,

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and Donna Brazil claimed that Hillary was in charge of

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the DNC money. Remember how Mark Penn points out in

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 1>The Hill Today that Hillary's payments to Christopher Steele were

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>first funneled through her campaign lawyer and laundered, remember was

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 1>sent to Perkins Cooey apparently not even what's that James

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>call me, didn't know who Perkins cooee was. And I

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:00.240
<v Speaker 1>don't believe that either, as he was saying, I don't

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:03.640
<v Speaker 1>remember two hundred and fifty times, but then laundered through

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Fusion GPS to hire a foreign national to come up

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:10.440
<v Speaker 1>with the phony Russian lies that they used to influence

0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 1>the American people consciously in the election of twenty sixteen.

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 1>How Robert Muller and the Pitbull, Andrew Weisman and Company

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and Genie Ray are not focused on that as a miracle.

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Steele DOCA was paid in part by the Democratic National Committee.

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:29.480
<v Speaker 1>They used to cut out on the FEC forms by

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>saying it was a legal expense. It's settled law, as

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 1>Mark Penn points out that the ultimate recipient, not some intermediary,

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 1>must be disclosed in cases along with the proper use category,

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 1>so it was not a legal cutout. Yet to complaint

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 1>against the DNC and Hillary's campaign is, you know, slowly

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 1>working its way through the FEC in the law firm.

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 1>They've not been rated by prosecutors. We don't see anyone

0:27:56.000 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 1>making pleading guilty to felonies here. Muller prosecutors are looking

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:04.919
<v Speaker 1>the other way on uranium one, and that's you know,

0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 1>giving putin twenty percent of America's uranium, the foundational material

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 1>for nuclear weapons. We had a spy in there telling

0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Robert Muller himself about bribery, extortion, money laundering, and kickbacks,

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and Muller's prosecutors look the other way on what a

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 1>campaign finance violation. You don't think this is going to

0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 1>come up for Hillary and that they're going to get

0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>away with this. It was a great post today by

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:32.119
<v Speaker 1>the great one, Mark Levin on his Facebook page. You

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.439
<v Speaker 1>know some stuff we already know. Sitting president campaign diided

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that's official DOJ policy since seventy three. Neither the Special Counsel,

0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 1>nor the SDNY Southern District of New York, or the

0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein can defy a forty five

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 1>year old policy, so it's not an issue for the president,

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. He points out also that you know, the

0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Southern District of New York they're not experts in campaign

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 1>finance violations, and either is the Clinton appointed judge district judge.

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 1>They rarely handle these cases now they've known him for

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>doing great work in the Southern District of New York,

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>especially on terrorism cases, in the Blind Shade case, and

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>so many others, and a lot of great lawyers, Andy McCarthy,

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Rudy Giuliani, John Sale, who's going to join us later.

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 1>They've all come out of there. But the media and

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 1>others intentionally refuse to actually look at what the real

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>rules and context are. And they would have you once

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get anything Russia out of the Friday filings.

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>This is what they ran to, regurgitating what prosecutors have

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 1>merely filed in their own self serving briefs. Now, he

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 1>points out that the actual campaign rules and contexts do

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 1>not include nondisclosure agreements or infinite other contracts or payments

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:52.959
<v Speaker 1>or arrangements acts of a private nature as campaign contributions.

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 1>In other words, especially twelve years ago, this is normal

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 1>human behavior. People have a right to end or into

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:03.719
<v Speaker 1>agreements for whatever reasons they choose to do it. Private

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 1>payments can be made in any manner, any amount, and

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 1>again their private payments involving private parties, so there's no

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:15.480
<v Speaker 1>reporting requirement because they're not campaign payments made with or

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.840
<v Speaker 1>without campaign funds top of the fact that the president

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 1>can donate as much as he wants to his campaign

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.640
<v Speaker 1>even if it was but it's not. And the Southern

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 1>District's inclusion in these charges in the Cone plea deal,

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of a pr attack against the president by

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>an office coordinating with Muller, obviously aligned with Comy, and

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>they knew the CONE would plead. But it's why did

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:42.400
<v Speaker 1>they believe that version of what Michael Khne said when

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>he said a very had a very different version when

0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 1>he said he did it on his own with his

0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:50.680
<v Speaker 1>own money early on and was paid back. You know,

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think that this would work in any

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>court anyway. But you know, as Mark points out here,

0:30:57.080 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>they knew the left wing media politicians would use that

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to just pivot away from Russia. That was all part

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>of the strategy. By the way, no due process, no

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>presumption of innocence. They knew they couldn't charge a sitting

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:14.360
<v Speaker 1>president that's never been brought up either. Thus they convict

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the president, scream impeachment as loud and as often as

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 1>they can, and it really has no chance of going anywhere,

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and it's awful political purposes. By the way, when have

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 1>you ever seen judges or people to release materials that

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:35.080
<v Speaker 1>are redacted the way we saw. That's another question. And

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>as for impeachment, Mark points out the NDA's involving holy

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:41.440
<v Speaker 1>private matters occurring before the president was even a candidate,

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 1>unrelated to his office cannot legitimately trigger the Constitution's impeachment clause.

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 1>In other words, they could not be more irrelevant. And

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the history of the clause and its high crimes and

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 1>misdemeanor language mayke it clear that the office of the

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 1>President's duties are not affected in any conceivable way by

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>earlier private contacts. Now, Gerald Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Adam Schiff can say whatever they want. Doesn't matter what

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:14.280
<v Speaker 1>they say, you know they'll mark wrights and his peace.

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>He's more than thrilled to be an executioner in this

0:32:17.960 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>French revolution. Reducts the Constitution be damned. Meanwhile, he and

0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>others wave around the Constitution as if they're defending it

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 1>against the tyrant, but in fact it's them, no not,

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>it's meaning in any way all right. Eight hundred ninety

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 1>four one Sean Tolfree telephone number. You want to be

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 1>a part of the program, Jim Jordan. We'll talk about

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 1>all these things when we get back who entered the

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 1>United States without our permission. Our illegal aliens, and illegal

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 1>aliens should not be treated the same as people who

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:49.120
<v Speaker 1>entered the US legally. President's decision to end DACA was

0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>heartless and it was brainless. When we use phrases like

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people

0:32:57.040 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration.

0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Hundreds hundreds of thousands of families will be ripped apart.

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 1>If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 1>say it. I think it is illegal and wrong. Ends

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of American businesses will lose hard working employees.

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 1>And the argument them as the president, is Americans don't

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.960
<v Speaker 1>want to do the work. Wait, just can't find American

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 1>workers to do the work because the president that is

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a cruck In many instances, it's just not true. In

0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 1>my view, From's decision to end the DOCCER program or

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 1>some eight hundred thousand young people, is the cruelest and

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 1>most ugly presidential act in the modern history of this country.

0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I cannot think of one single act which is uglier

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and more cruel. We've got to do several things, and

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants. People have

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to stop employing illegal immigrants. Come up to Westchester, go

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to Suffolk in Nassau County, stand in the street corners

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:05.440
<v Speaker 1>in Brooklyn or the Bronx. You're going to see loads

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 1>of people waiting to get picked up to go do

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 1>yard work and construction work and domestic work. You know, Idio,

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>this is not a problem that the people who are

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 1>coming into the country are solely responsible for. They coming

0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:21.839
<v Speaker 1>if we didn't put them to work. My proposal will

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:26.400
<v Speaker 1>keep families together, and it will include a path to

0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 1>citizen check. Those who enter the country illegally and those

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 1>who employ them disrespect the rule of law, and they

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:38.879
<v Speaker 1>are showing disregard for those who are following the law.

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:42.840
<v Speaker 1>We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:49.760
<v Speaker 1>States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants.

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Real reform means establishing a responsible pathway to earn citizenship.

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Flipping the flopping, the flailing that goes on on the

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:06.799
<v Speaker 1>issue of immigration, and of course the beatdown that the

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:10.359
<v Speaker 1>President had with Pelosi and Schumer today and he's not

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.359
<v Speaker 1>given up, and it's clear. And the other good news

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.720
<v Speaker 1>is he has the support of even people like Lindsey

0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Graham said, no, he's got to hold out. This is

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 1>a fight worth fighting. And you know, the President also

0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 1>taking major steps today to reign in and the abuse

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of our welfare system by non citizens who utilize federal

0:35:28.040 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>subsidies in far greater numbers than their US born counterpart

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, sixty seven percent of illegal immigrants, according to

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 1>a recent study that came out. And the President now

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>also threatening that if he has to, he'll use the

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 1>military to get the wall built that way, and that

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 1>exchange goes back and forth. He says, look, get it done.

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll have the military do it. And if I have

0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 1>to shut down the government. It's a myth that Republicans

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:54.960
<v Speaker 1>get hurt by government shutdowns. They were afraid to do

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it when Obama was president. Now they're afraid to do

0:35:57.120 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 1>it when a Republicans president. They're just afraid. You know,

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:03.280
<v Speaker 1>three thousand people on a single day got caught jumping

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:07.719
<v Speaker 1>in the border recently. And there's nothing that they're proposing,

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 1>meaning Nancy or Chuck that is going to fix that anyway.

0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Jim Jordan, Freedom Caucus member with us. By the way,

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 1>our two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred nine for one,

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Sean are told free telephone number. What do you think

0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:21.560
<v Speaker 1>of the President's exchange with Pelosi and Schumer today, Sean?

0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I loved it. I mean, this is this is why

0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>the American people elected this guy president because he is

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:29.280
<v Speaker 1>standing firm and going to This is not about shutdown.

0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:31.440
<v Speaker 1>This is about doing what we set doing what we

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 1>told the voters we were going to do. And one

0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the central promises made the twenty sixteen campaign is that

0:36:36.560 --> 0:36:38.319
<v Speaker 1>we were going to build a border security wall. We

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.160
<v Speaker 1>were going to get control of the border, and the

0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:42.400
<v Speaker 1>President is standing film for that. We took a position

0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:44.400
<v Speaker 1>as the Freedom Caucus last night that we will only

0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:47.240
<v Speaker 1>think about supporting this this fix spending bill if, in fact,

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.439
<v Speaker 1>we do what the President said today. So I thought

0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it was great, and I think the American people think

0:36:51.000 --> 0:36:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. Well, look, as you know, he pointed

0:36:53.440 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 1>out that you know, everywhere the wall is, it's one

0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent certainty we stop all the illegal immigration. Also,

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it's good we saw a potential catastrophe building with the caravan,

0:37:03.960 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and as much as if what happened at the southern

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 1>border of Mexico and it was attempted up here had

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>happened up here and we didn't have the means to

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:17.800
<v Speaker 1>stop them, then at that point it becomes unlimited illegal

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>immigration into the country. And also, you know, it was

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 1>bad enough to watch rocks and bottles being thrown at

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:27.279
<v Speaker 1>our ice guys and the border patrol people, but it

0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 1>was happening right before our eyes. Yeah, the President is

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:32.800
<v Speaker 1>so this is common sense, and the President is standing

0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:36.319
<v Speaker 1>strong for common sense reform here. Build a wall and

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:39.919
<v Speaker 1>reform our asylum wall, stop the catch and release, change

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 1>our asylum law. And if you do those two things,

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:44.920
<v Speaker 1>this caravan phenomena that we've watched the last several weeks,

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:47.000
<v Speaker 1>that's how you deal with it. That's how you send

0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the right message. That's how you have orderly legal immigration,

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>not what we've been seeing the last several weeks with

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:54.480
<v Speaker 1>this caravan and the attempts to try to get over

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the wall, under the wall, through the fence, all the

0:37:56.080 --> 0:37:58.840
<v Speaker 1>things you're trying to do. So again, I love what

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:01.719
<v Speaker 1>the President did. He stood for him there, and I

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:03.439
<v Speaker 1>think this is where we got to be stand firm

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 1>for doing what we told the American people we were

0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 1>going to do, more importantly, what they elected us to do.

0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Any insight is to what's going on with Mark Meadows.

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I keep reading his name all over the place as

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 1>a potential candidate, but chief of staff, which I'm sure

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you would probably like, because then it's a coup for

0:38:18.200 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 1>you and you'd be probably back in the driver's seat.

0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Well as chairman. You are the chairman, right, but you

0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 1>lost your chairmanship. You're the honorary member. You know, you're

0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the only group that's into freedom. You're the only people

0:38:31.640 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I try honestly you, I won't tell you. One person

0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 1>that is impressing me more and more is Lindsey Graham.

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Lindsey Graham said, no, this is a fight we're gonna have,

0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and the President's gonna win, and he's right. We have

0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 1>to win it because if not, this never goes away.

0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:48.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's interesting to watch the Democrats. There's nothing that

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 1>apparently that the president would offer them that they would

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:53.640
<v Speaker 1>take because they so desperately want to just say no

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to him and not be seen as as making any

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.040
<v Speaker 1>deals with this president. So that means no progress at

0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:00.920
<v Speaker 1>all for the country. If follow up on that, it

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter what the presidents for there against it. You

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 1>played the montage there at the front end where it

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 1>shows all the things they said before. Now therefore the

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:11.320
<v Speaker 1>borderless hemisphere, as their candidates for president said in twenty sixteen,

0:39:11.360 --> 0:39:13.719
<v Speaker 1>there for abolishing eyes. So they've changed him that. If

0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you to your first question, Mark Meadows would be a

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 1>tremendous chiefest step. I hate to lose him on Capitol

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Hill because he's my best friend up there, but he

0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:21.840
<v Speaker 1>would be great for the president if that's who the

0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:24.360
<v Speaker 1>president chooses. I think the country and the president and

0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:26.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, our intim nation is well served if if

0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that's who he picks. But on this immigration issue with Lindsay,

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Senator Graham is exactly right. Stand firm, mister President, Stand firm.

0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's get this done now. We've got a few weeks

0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:38.279
<v Speaker 1>left where we have the majorities in both houses. Let's

0:39:38.280 --> 0:39:41.080
<v Speaker 1>make it happen. Well, I think Mitch McConnell saying that

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:42.560
<v Speaker 1>he's going to go forward. How do you feel about

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the prison reform bill? I interviewed Jared Kushner last night.

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.359
<v Speaker 1>The one thing that it bothered me is one part

0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 1>that Tom Cotton had been pointing out. There can't be

0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:54.520
<v Speaker 1>any possibility that any violent felons are released as part

0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 1>of that deal. But on the other hand, do you

0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:00.160
<v Speaker 1>remember Alice Marie Johnson, the woman when she was had

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:03.239
<v Speaker 1>her sentence commuted by the president. Yeah, she comes out

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of prison, twenty plus years in prison, one time offender.

0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:08.720
<v Speaker 1>It was a drug it was a drug deal. And

0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 1>she got out and she said something that I thought

0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 1>was amazing. She said, first, thank you to the President,

0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 1>thanks to the country, and then she went on and said,

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:17.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm never gonna let you down. Thank you for giving

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:19.600
<v Speaker 1>me a second chance. And then I got a chance

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:22.280
<v Speaker 1>to interview her, and she's as lovely or more lovely

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:25.720
<v Speaker 1>in person. Yeah. Yeah, we have to find those people

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:28.880
<v Speaker 1>that deserve that second chance and maybe even transform the

0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.359
<v Speaker 1>use of the pardon power of the president. I'd love

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to see that exactly. We're all in need of God's grace.

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>If you do something wrong, you're gonna have to serve

0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:38.279
<v Speaker 1>your time. But while you're in prison, let's let's get

0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:41.239
<v Speaker 1>you the training, the help that you need so that

0:40:41.280 --> 0:40:43.880
<v Speaker 1>when you do get out, you can you can go

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:45.719
<v Speaker 1>on with your life and get that second chance, and

0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I know Jared has been working hard on this. We

0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:49.560
<v Speaker 1>think this is the kind of legislation that makes sense.

0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 1>There was some concern to stend of the cotton race.

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:53.799
<v Speaker 1>I think those are being addressed. We had Mikely at

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:56.080
<v Speaker 1>our Freedom Caucus meeting last night. Mike's been a strong

0:40:56.120 --> 0:40:59.480
<v Speaker 1>proponent of this legislation. So again, I think Jodan and

0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:01.719
<v Speaker 1>the team done a lot of good work, and let's

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:03.400
<v Speaker 1>see if we can get this thing done. And I

0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:06.440
<v Speaker 1>think we can. All right, So let's imagine at first,

0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I was a little concern and I heard Nadler and

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:12.279
<v Speaker 1>some others saying we're going to end the deep State

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:16.080
<v Speaker 1>investigation almost immediately. There's no points. So we all knew

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:19.719
<v Speaker 1>that was going to happen. However, yeah, we now we

0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 1>had the testimony of you were you in the testimony

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.680
<v Speaker 1>when Comey gave it last week? Yeah? Okay, And James

0:41:25.760 --> 0:41:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Comy literally said he said in that meeting, Well, first

0:41:28.880 --> 0:41:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of all, he said, I don't remember some two hundred

0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and fifty times. Put that aside. He never vetted the dossier.

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 1>We already knew it. But now he's on record saying

0:41:37.080 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 1>they never vetted the dossier. But he put his signature

0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to it, right, and Sally Yates did and Rob Rosenstein

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:45.080
<v Speaker 1>did right. Yeah, well, I think it's even worse, Shan.

0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 1>He didn't know anything about Christopher Steele. So it's one

0:41:47.680 --> 0:41:49.760
<v Speaker 1>thing to take his work. You don't know anything about

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the work product. The guy who wrote the work product

0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:53.880
<v Speaker 1>that you took to the court to get the warrant.

0:41:54.080 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 1>He never talked to Christopher Steele, didn't know Christopher Steele

0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 1>was meeting with Bruce or top Justice Department official, didn't

0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 1>know that Bruce was asking Chris Steel's information to the FBI,

0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that they had terminated that Christopher Steele, didn't

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:06.440
<v Speaker 1>know that Christopher Steel continue to give information to the

0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:09.799
<v Speaker 1>FBI after he was terminated. Didn't know any of that,

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and yet takes his work product to the FIS the

0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:15.720
<v Speaker 1>court to get the warrant to spot the Trump campaign.

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:18.279
<v Speaker 1>That's literally That was the biggest takeaway I had is

0:42:18.400 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you didn't know squat about the key guy whose work

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:23.759
<v Speaker 1>product was the basis for the whole darn thing. Have

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 1>you heard about this email chain that John Solomon was

0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:30.160
<v Speaker 1>reporting about? Now, there there were three buckets that the

0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 1>President has talked about that he would unredact and release

0:42:32.960 --> 0:42:36.440
<v Speaker 1>to the American people. Bucket one would be the applications.

0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Both the Nunez and Grassy Graham memos say that the

0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:41.600
<v Speaker 1>bulk of information came from the dossier that we now

0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:44.440
<v Speaker 1>know they never vetted. On top of that, Christopher Steele

0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:47.440
<v Speaker 1>has since you know, distance his own self from that

0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:49.120
<v Speaker 1>by saying, oh, I have no idea if any of

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:52.080
<v Speaker 1>it's true when he was threatened with perjury and an

0:42:52.080 --> 0:42:54.600
<v Speaker 1>interrogatory in Great Britain. So but then we want the

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:56.759
<v Speaker 1>three O two's gang of Ape. But there's also this

0:42:56.880 --> 0:43:00.719
<v Speaker 1>email letter chain. Comey is on it, and what can

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you tell us about it? I asked him about it.

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:04.640
<v Speaker 1>He didn't know it. That was another one in his

0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:06.840
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and forty five I don't know. So I

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 1>did ask him about an email chain relative to the

0:43:09.120 --> 0:43:12.239
<v Speaker 1>fact that Christopher Steele this is This was in mister

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Solomon's reporting, and I went basically from mister Solomon's reporting

0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:18.720
<v Speaker 1>that mister Steele had met with reporters in September twenty

0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:21.920
<v Speaker 1>sixteen prior to again his dossier being taken to the

0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:23.719
<v Speaker 1>FISA court as the basis for the for the Carter

0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Page FISA so asking about that, he didn't know anything

0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 1>about it. I specifically asking, so you didn't know anything

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:30.799
<v Speaker 1>about Christopher Stile, possibly meaning with Michael Isikoff, with Yah

0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:32.880
<v Speaker 1>who News. He didn't know anything about that either. I

0:43:32.920 --> 0:43:34.200
<v Speaker 1>do think we need to come back to that and

0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:36.560
<v Speaker 1>export deeper, because it was basically two questions, is all

0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:38.239
<v Speaker 1>at that I got a chance to ask him about

0:43:38.400 --> 0:43:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I think we need to dig a little deeper into that.

0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:41.960
<v Speaker 1>But he didn't know anything. And that's what he told

0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 1>us in the in the deposition last week. So we

0:43:44.960 --> 0:43:47.279
<v Speaker 1>have the sentencing memos. You know, this is what we

0:43:47.960 --> 0:43:52.720
<v Speaker 1>what the whole Muller investigation has become. Lying to the FBI,

0:43:53.000 --> 0:43:58.560
<v Speaker 1>lying to a law enforcement about taxi medallion's lan applications

0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:02.040
<v Speaker 1>not paying your taxes, which is really stupid. If you

0:44:02.040 --> 0:44:04.000
<v Speaker 1>don't pay them, you got to pay your taxes, because

0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:06.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the easiest way they're going to throw anybody in jail.

0:44:06.960 --> 0:44:09.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, so we have all of this hysteria

0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:11.520
<v Speaker 1>by the media and the left, and they're all thrown

0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:13.279
<v Speaker 1>around the world impeachment. By the way, these are the

0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:15.719
<v Speaker 1>people that have been hating on the president from day

0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:18.480
<v Speaker 1>one and even before he got elected. The reality is

0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you can't. You can indict a sitting president. That's the

0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:25.880
<v Speaker 1>oj policy period. Neither the Special Counsel, nor the SDNY

0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:29.680
<v Speaker 1>nor Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein can defy that policy. Not

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:33.319
<v Speaker 1>only that, there is no campaign finance violation here for

0:44:33.360 --> 0:44:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a multitude of reasons, which I went into earlier today. Right, No, Right,

0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is all about you know, Cohen did

0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:41.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things you shouldn't have done, a mister Manaford,

0:44:41.520 --> 0:44:44.279
<v Speaker 1>but didn't register right as a lobbyist. It's all that

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:47.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff. But where's the relationship to what the

0:44:47.560 --> 0:44:50.440
<v Speaker 1>underlying mission of the Special Council was? Where is where

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:53.960
<v Speaker 1>is the any type of collusion or coordination or conspiracy

0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:56.399
<v Speaker 1>between the Trump campaign and Russia? To date, not one

0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:58.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of evidence in any of that to say that

0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:01.239
<v Speaker 1>there was any type of coordination. So I always just

0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:03.960
<v Speaker 1>come back to the basics. That's what mister Mueller is

0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:06.359
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be looking at. We've not seen any of that,

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and yet Jerry Nadal and Adam Shift they already got

0:45:09.040 --> 0:45:13.319
<v Speaker 1>the president going to prison, which is right, Listen. I'm

0:45:13.320 --> 0:45:16.040
<v Speaker 1>just hoping that the new Attorney general is we'll believe

0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:18.560
<v Speaker 1>an equal justice under the law, an equal application of

0:45:18.600 --> 0:45:21.040
<v Speaker 1>our laws. And if that's the case, and we really

0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:25.240
<v Speaker 1>are worried about Russian interference, then I think the Uranium

0:45:25.239 --> 0:45:28.560
<v Speaker 1>one deal shows a lot of stupidity, bad decisions, corruption

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and put an influence. And I think the same thing

0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:35.080
<v Speaker 1>with the dossier that was disseminated to the American people

0:45:35.160 --> 0:45:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to make Americans vote against Donald Trump. I'd like that

0:45:38.120 --> 0:45:40.080
<v Speaker 1>to be dealt with as well. But stay right there

0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:43.160
<v Speaker 1>more with our good friend, Representative Jim Jordan, House Freedom

0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Caucus Member, Right as we continue with Jim Jordan, House

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Freedom Caucus Member, congressman from Ohio. All right, so it's

0:45:53.480 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 1>a little different. I mean it's a good thing. I

0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:57.439
<v Speaker 1>will say that the president works so hard to save

0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:00.799
<v Speaker 1>the Senate because it doesn't matter what nance Pelosi does

0:46:00.840 --> 0:46:02.879
<v Speaker 1>in the end or what the House Democrats do, as

0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:05.800
<v Speaker 1>extreme as they are, but it makes your job harder.

0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And if they're coming with a cannon of subpoenas as

0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:15.440
<v Speaker 1>they are telegraphing, Yeah, how do you and the minority

0:46:15.760 --> 0:46:18.680
<v Speaker 1>fight that you focus on the truth? I mean that's all.

0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:20.680
<v Speaker 1>That's what you've been focused on, Sean, and does such

0:46:20.680 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a good job with what we've been focused on Mark Meadows,

0:46:23.040 --> 0:46:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Matt Gates and a bunch of us in the House.

0:46:25.360 --> 0:46:28.440
<v Speaker 1>You focus on the truth, and that's that's got to

0:46:28.480 --> 0:46:31.279
<v Speaker 1>be our job. So look, we have an obligation, constitutional

0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:33.680
<v Speaker 1>duty to provide oversight of the federal government, particularly the

0:46:33.719 --> 0:46:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Oversight Committee, where Elijah Coming already had sixty four subpoenas

0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:39.319
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to send this Congress. So we assume those

0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:42.319
<v Speaker 1>are coming the next time, but we focus on the truth.

0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:44.279
<v Speaker 1>They're going to drive how they want to, and they're

0:46:44.280 --> 0:46:47.120
<v Speaker 1>going to do what they want and subpoenas and hearings

0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and bring people in and all the things they do.

0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Our job is to Could you imagine if anybody deleted

0:46:52.480 --> 0:46:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the emails when they were subpoenaed by Gerald Nadler or

0:46:56.760 --> 0:47:00.279
<v Speaker 1>any other committee chair of the Democrats and then used

0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:03.160
<v Speaker 1>acid wash, bleach bit to clean the hard drive and

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:05.520
<v Speaker 1>bust up their devices. I wonder what they'd say. Then, Yeah,

0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:07.399
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if they suppeened me and I did all

0:47:07.400 --> 0:47:09.000
<v Speaker 1>those things, what do you think would happen? You'd in

0:47:09.040 --> 0:47:11.840
<v Speaker 1>big trouble. This is the double standard that drives people crazy.

0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And you've talked about it, but it's so true. One

0:47:14.040 --> 0:47:16.640
<v Speaker 1>set of rules for us regular folk, but a difference

0:47:16.680 --> 0:47:20.239
<v Speaker 1>set If your name is Lynch Learner Page struck, you

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:22.000
<v Speaker 1>get a different set of rules. You know. One of

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the things I was struck with two and I actually

0:47:23.560 --> 0:47:26.600
<v Speaker 1>asked this question that mister Kobe, think about go to

0:47:26.600 --> 0:47:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the basis. Remember it was the same people who ran

0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the Clinton investigation who then took over and launched and

0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:34.120
<v Speaker 1>ran the Russian investigation. And I think you go right

0:47:34.120 --> 0:47:36.160
<v Speaker 1>back to the beginning. Think of the names they gave

0:47:36.239 --> 0:47:40.120
<v Speaker 1>each of those investigations. One was called the Midyear Exam.

0:47:40.480 --> 0:47:42.000
<v Speaker 1>That's sort of like you had to get through this,

0:47:42.080 --> 0:47:43.840
<v Speaker 1>we had to go kind of make it look like

0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:45.319
<v Speaker 1>we were doing it, but the fix was in and

0:47:45.320 --> 0:47:47.520
<v Speaker 1>they were going to make sure Clinton was exonerated. And

0:47:47.560 --> 0:47:51.400
<v Speaker 1>then the other one was called Crossfire Hurricane, which I

0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:53.600
<v Speaker 1>think when you step back and think about the names

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:56.879
<v Speaker 1>and what those names imply, that sort of right from

0:47:56.920 --> 0:48:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the get go shows you there were some extremes against

0:48:00.680 --> 0:48:04.680
<v Speaker 1>President Trump right for the geta of sixteen, right from

0:48:04.719 --> 0:48:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the get go. All right, Jim Jordan, thank you eight hundred.

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:09.319
<v Speaker 1>You know I'm gonna play you know, why don't we

0:48:09.360 --> 0:48:11.520
<v Speaker 1>play this exchange in full when we get back Then

0:48:11.520 --> 0:48:13.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll take some calls on it, because I've been referring

0:48:13.800 --> 0:48:16.040
<v Speaker 1>to it now since the first hour. Eight hundred nine

0:48:16.120 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 1>for one, Sean is our number. You want to be

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a part of the program. Later on, John Sale, we'll

0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:24.120
<v Speaker 1>look at the prosecutorial head. The president is in trouble

0:48:24.160 --> 0:48:28.040
<v Speaker 1>over campaign finance. Forget Russia collusion, it's campaign finance. Now

0:48:28.560 --> 0:48:32.480
<v Speaker 1>the answers, No will explain and more coming up straight ahead, Hannity. Oh,

0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:35.319
<v Speaker 1>we got a great show tonight, nine Eastern, all right,

0:48:35.360 --> 0:48:37.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty five to the top of the hour. UM, I

0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:39.279
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of you missed it earlier today. I

0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:41.719
<v Speaker 1>think it's worth It's like a ten minute exchange here

0:48:41.960 --> 0:48:46.240
<v Speaker 1>with the President, Pelosi and Schumer in the Oval Office

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and dealing with government funding, government shutdown possibility, and funding

0:48:51.120 --> 0:48:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the wall. Lindsey Graham's back in the president. Republicans were

0:48:54.920 --> 0:48:56.440
<v Speaker 1>back in the president. They say, no, we did, we

0:48:56.960 --> 0:49:00.080
<v Speaker 1>made a promise. This is what people want them to do.

0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's fight, stand up and fight because it's the right

0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:06.320
<v Speaker 1>thing to do. And so here's that exchange, which I

0:49:06.880 --> 0:49:10.560
<v Speaker 1>just thought the President just nailed them multiple times and

0:49:10.600 --> 0:49:12.640
<v Speaker 1>it was great. Listen to this. We may not have

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:15.719
<v Speaker 1>an agreement today, we probably won't, but we have an

0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:18.279
<v Speaker 1>agreement on other things that are really good. Nancy, would

0:49:18.320 --> 0:49:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you like to say something, well, thank you, mister President,

0:49:21.800 --> 0:49:24.120
<v Speaker 1>for an opportunity to meet with you so that we

0:49:24.160 --> 0:49:27.279
<v Speaker 1>can work together in a bipartisan way to meet the

0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:30.799
<v Speaker 1>needs of the American people. I think American people recognize

0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that we must keep government open, that a shutdown is

0:49:34.480 --> 0:49:37.560
<v Speaker 1>not worth anything, and that you should not have a

0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Trump shutdown. You have the Trump down, you have the

0:49:42.520 --> 0:49:45.440
<v Speaker 1>White House going to you have the Senate, you have

0:49:45.520 --> 0:49:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the House of Representatives, you have the votes you should pass.

0:49:49.239 --> 0:49:52.080
<v Speaker 1>We don't vote because in the Senate we need sixty yards.

0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:53.759
<v Speaker 1>But in the half, we don't have to bring it

0:49:53.840 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 1>up right now. But I can't excuse me, but I

0:49:56.160 --> 0:49:58.239
<v Speaker 1>can't get it passed in the House. If it's not

0:49:58.239 --> 0:49:59.600
<v Speaker 1>going to pass in the Senate, I don't want to

0:49:59.560 --> 0:50:02.440
<v Speaker 1>waste them. The fact is you can get it started

0:50:02.560 --> 0:50:05.279
<v Speaker 1>that way. The House. We could get passed very easily. Okay,

0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:07.800
<v Speaker 1>we do it, but the problem is the Senate, because

0:50:07.840 --> 0:50:10.839
<v Speaker 1>we need ten Democrats to vote that they want the point.

0:50:10.840 --> 0:50:14.440
<v Speaker 1>It's because the point is is that their equities to

0:50:14.520 --> 0:50:17.080
<v Speaker 1>be weighed, and we're here to have a conversation your

0:50:17.200 --> 0:50:19.239
<v Speaker 1>careful way. So I don't think we should have the

0:50:19.320 --> 0:50:21.880
<v Speaker 1>debate in front of the press on this. But the

0:50:21.920 --> 0:50:25.120
<v Speaker 1>fact is, the Senate, the House Republicans could bring up

0:50:25.160 --> 0:50:28.680
<v Speaker 1>this bill if they had the votes immediately and set

0:50:28.680 --> 0:50:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the tone for what you want. If we thought we

0:50:31.080 --> 0:50:32.840
<v Speaker 1>were going to get it passed in the Senate, Nancy,

0:50:33.040 --> 0:50:35.120
<v Speaker 1>we would do it immediately, would get it passed very

0:50:35.120 --> 0:50:37.840
<v Speaker 1>easily in the House. Well, we would get it, Nancy,

0:50:37.880 --> 0:50:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I'd have it passed in two seconds. It doesn't matter though,

0:50:40.600 --> 0:50:42.479
<v Speaker 1>because we can't get it passed in the Senate because

0:50:42.520 --> 0:50:46.040
<v Speaker 1>we need ten Democrat votes. Again, let us have our conversation,

0:50:46.120 --> 0:50:49.200
<v Speaker 1>then we'll meet with the press again. But the fact is,

0:50:49.200 --> 0:50:52.880
<v Speaker 1>is that legislating, and which is what we do. You

0:50:53.000 --> 0:50:56.799
<v Speaker 1>begin to make your points, to state your case. That's

0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.479
<v Speaker 1>what the House Republicans could do if they had the votes.

0:50:59.520 --> 0:51:02.960
<v Speaker 1>But there aren't votes in the House majority of votes

0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:06.279
<v Speaker 1>for a wall no matter where. You're exactly right. If

0:51:06.280 --> 0:51:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I needed the votes for the wall in the House,

0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I would have them in one session, would be done.

0:51:11.200 --> 0:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Do it. It doesn't help because we need ten Democrats

0:51:13.880 --> 0:51:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and the Senate put it on an Okay, let me

0:51:17.640 --> 0:51:19.160
<v Speaker 1>ask you this just and we're doing this in a

0:51:19.239 --> 0:51:22.120
<v Speaker 1>very friendly manner. It doesn't help for me to take

0:51:22.120 --> 0:51:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a vote in the House where I will win easily

0:51:24.200 --> 0:51:27.080
<v Speaker 1>with the Republicans when it doesn't help to take that

0:51:27.200 --> 0:51:29.880
<v Speaker 1>vote because I'm not going to get the vote of

0:51:29.920 --> 0:51:32.759
<v Speaker 1>the Senate. I need ten senators. That's the problem. You

0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.839
<v Speaker 1>have the White House, the Senate. I have the White House.

0:51:35.880 --> 0:51:38.000
<v Speaker 1>The White House is done, and the House would give

0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:39.759
<v Speaker 1>me the vote if I wanted it, but I can't

0:51:39.800 --> 0:51:42.560
<v Speaker 1>because I need Nancy. I need ten votes from chub Or.

0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Let me say something here. Let me say white The

0:51:45.960 --> 0:51:48.760
<v Speaker 1>fact is you do not have the votes in the House, Nancy.

0:51:48.880 --> 0:51:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I do. And we need border security, Nancy, Nancy. We

0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:56.040
<v Speaker 1>need border securities, very simple question. We need border security.

0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:59.520
<v Speaker 1>People are pouring into our country in ruting terrorists. We

0:51:59.600 --> 0:52:02.399
<v Speaker 1>have terror We caught ten terrorists over the last very

0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:05.480
<v Speaker 1>short period of time. Ten. These are very serious people.

0:52:05.760 --> 0:52:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Our border agents, all of our law enforcement has been

0:52:08.719 --> 0:52:11.879
<v Speaker 1>incredible what they've done. But we caught ten terrorists. These

0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:14.480
<v Speaker 1>are people that we're looking to do harm. We need

0:52:14.480 --> 0:52:17.279
<v Speaker 1>the wall. We need more appoint than anything. We need

0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:19.680
<v Speaker 1>border security, of which the wall is just a peace

0:52:19.960 --> 0:52:21.839
<v Speaker 1>but it's important. Ject did you want to say, sah,

0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I want to say. We have a lot

0:52:23.160 --> 0:52:26.680
<v Speaker 1>of disagreements here. The Washington Post today gave you a

0:52:26.680 --> 0:52:29.800
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of pinocchios because they say you constantly misstate

0:52:29.880 --> 0:52:31.959
<v Speaker 1>how much the wall is, how much of the wall

0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:33.800
<v Speaker 1>is built, and how much is there. But that's not

0:52:33.920 --> 0:52:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the point here. We have a disagreement about the wall, Washington,

0:52:36.640 --> 0:52:39.400
<v Speaker 1>whether it's effective or not on boorder security, but on

0:52:39.440 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the wall. We do not want to shut down the government.

0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:45.240
<v Speaker 1>You have called twenty times to shut down the government.

0:52:45.239 --> 0:52:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Who say I want to shut down the government. We don't.

0:52:48.719 --> 0:52:50.959
<v Speaker 1>We want to come to an agreement. If we can't

0:52:50.960 --> 0:52:53.400
<v Speaker 1>come to an agreement, we have solutions that will pass

0:52:53.480 --> 0:52:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the House and Senate right now, and we'll not shut

0:52:56.840 --> 0:52:59.319
<v Speaker 1>down the government. And that's what we're urging you to do.

0:52:59.560 --> 0:53:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Not to shut down the government because you let me

0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:04.799
<v Speaker 1>just finish from them, because you can't catch you shut

0:53:04.840 --> 0:53:07.440
<v Speaker 1>it down. Let me say something, mister president, you just

0:53:07.480 --> 0:53:09.759
<v Speaker 1>say my way, or will shut down the government. We

0:53:09.880 --> 0:53:14.360
<v Speaker 1>have a proposal that Democrats and Republicans will support to

0:53:14.480 --> 0:53:17.040
<v Speaker 1>do a cr that will not shut down the government.

0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:18.839
<v Speaker 1>We urge you to take it. If it's not good

0:53:18.880 --> 0:53:21.120
<v Speaker 1>border security out it is very good. And if it's

0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:24.319
<v Speaker 1>not good border security, I will take it's because when

0:53:24.360 --> 0:53:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you look at these numbers of the effectiveness of our

0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:28.920
<v Speaker 1>border security, and when you look at the job that

0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:31.080
<v Speaker 1>we're doing, we just said it is effective. Can I

0:53:31.120 --> 0:53:33.160
<v Speaker 1>be Can I tell you something you just said without

0:53:33.160 --> 0:53:36.359
<v Speaker 1>a wall, these are only areas where you have the

0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:39.200
<v Speaker 1>we want to do. You have walls, Chuck, it's effective, Well,

0:53:39.239 --> 0:53:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't have rules, it is not effective. Yeah, that's

0:53:42.560 --> 0:53:45.800
<v Speaker 1>calohl to this. We've come in here as the first

0:53:45.800 --> 0:53:51.080
<v Speaker 1>branch of government, Article one, the legislative branch. We're coming

0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:54.359
<v Speaker 1>in in good faith to negotiate with you about how

0:53:54.400 --> 0:53:57.600
<v Speaker 1>we can keep the government open. We're going to keep

0:53:57.640 --> 0:54:00.000
<v Speaker 1>it open if we have border security. If we don't

0:54:00.000 --> 0:54:02.120
<v Speaker 1>have border security, we're not going to keep it on.

0:54:02.760 --> 0:54:05.239
<v Speaker 1>We haven't had bader and it's the same border you're

0:54:05.280 --> 0:54:08.400
<v Speaker 1>bragging about what has been done. But we want to

0:54:08.440 --> 0:54:11.359
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing we did last year this year.

0:54:11.480 --> 0:54:14.399
<v Speaker 1>That's our proposal. If it's good, then it's good now,

0:54:14.560 --> 0:54:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and it won't shut down the gol Huck. We can

0:54:16.440 --> 0:54:20.719
<v Speaker 1>build up a much bigger. Let's debate in private. Okay, yeah,

0:54:20.960 --> 0:54:24.320
<v Speaker 1>let's debate in private. Devoid frankly the fast and we

0:54:24.840 --> 0:54:27.040
<v Speaker 1>can we need border security. I think we all agree

0:54:27.080 --> 0:54:29.960
<v Speaker 1>that we need water SECAs good we do. Say we

0:54:30.040 --> 0:54:34.920
<v Speaker 1>get a law. Thank you everybody. President, you save border

0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:38.160
<v Speaker 1>security at the wall. Can you have border security with alcohol?

0:54:38.480 --> 0:54:40.640
<v Speaker 1>You need you need the wall. The wall is a

0:54:40.719 --> 0:54:43.880
<v Speaker 1>part of water security. What it means to have border security.

0:54:44.280 --> 0:54:46.520
<v Speaker 1>We need border security. The wall is a part of

0:54:46.560 --> 0:54:49.160
<v Speaker 1>border security. You can't have very good border security without

0:54:49.160 --> 0:54:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the wall. No, not true, because that is a political promise.

0:54:52.640 --> 0:54:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Border security is a way to effectively on our respond

0:54:57.000 --> 0:55:00.239
<v Speaker 1>The experts say you can do border security without a wall,

0:55:00.320 --> 0:55:03.520
<v Speaker 1>which is wasteful and doesn't solve the problem. It totally

0:55:03.560 --> 0:55:06.719
<v Speaker 1>solves the problem with and it's very important. This is

0:55:06.800 --> 0:55:10.799
<v Speaker 1>spiraled downwards when we came at a place to say,

0:55:10.800 --> 0:55:12.959
<v Speaker 1>how do we meet the needs of American people who

0:55:13.000 --> 0:55:17.800
<v Speaker 1>have needs? The economy has its people are losing their jobs,

0:55:17.800 --> 0:55:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the markets in a mood. Our members are already we

0:55:20.920 --> 0:55:23.760
<v Speaker 1>have the lowest unemployment that we've had in fifty years. See,

0:55:23.920 --> 0:55:27.799
<v Speaker 1>people of the Republican Party have lost are losing their

0:55:27.840 --> 0:55:31.440
<v Speaker 1>offices now because of the transition. The people are not

0:55:31.480 --> 0:55:34.040
<v Speaker 1>at the memory gained in the Senate. Nancy, we've gained

0:55:34.040 --> 0:55:36.160
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate. Excuse me, did we win the Senate?

0:55:36.280 --> 0:55:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Because we're won the Senate. When the President braggs that

0:55:39.160 --> 0:55:41.880
<v Speaker 1>he won North Dakota and Indiana, he's in real trouble.

0:55:42.360 --> 0:55:45.680
<v Speaker 1>When I did, let me say it did North Dakota

0:55:45.800 --> 0:55:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and in most unfortunate And we came in here in

0:55:48.360 --> 0:55:53.160
<v Speaker 1>good faith and we're entering into this kind of a

0:55:53.280 --> 0:55:56.680
<v Speaker 1>discussion in the public. But it's not bad advancing no

0:55:56.800 --> 0:56:00.279
<v Speaker 1>and no cold transparency. I know it's not transparent. Se well,

0:56:00.320 --> 0:56:02.439
<v Speaker 1>we're not stipulating to a set of facts. And when

0:56:02.480 --> 0:56:05.200
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to have a debate with you about saying,

0:56:05.200 --> 0:56:07.480
<v Speaker 1>we confront them. Use that's you know what we need

0:56:07.520 --> 0:56:09.600
<v Speaker 1>border security. That's what we're going to be talking about

0:56:09.600 --> 0:56:13.000
<v Speaker 1>border security. If we don't have borter security, we'll shut

0:56:13.040 --> 0:56:16.480
<v Speaker 1>down the government. This country needs border security. The wall

0:56:16.560 --> 0:56:19.040
<v Speaker 1>is a part of borter security. Let's have a tall

0:56:19.600 --> 0:56:21.160
<v Speaker 1>We're going to get the wall built. And we've done

0:56:21.160 --> 0:56:23.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of wall already. Bigger part of border security

0:56:23.600 --> 0:56:25.239
<v Speaker 1>of the wall, it's a big section. It's a big

0:56:25.320 --> 0:56:27.359
<v Speaker 1>part of it everything that you need, it's a big

0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:30.839
<v Speaker 1>part of it. We need to have effective border security.

0:56:31.000 --> 0:56:33.279
<v Speaker 1>We need a wall in certain parts, No, not in

0:56:33.320 --> 0:56:35.840
<v Speaker 1>all parts, but in certain parts of a two thousand

0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:39.719
<v Speaker 1>mile border. We need a wall. How much money we

0:56:39.760 --> 0:56:43.920
<v Speaker 1>are doing it? Much under budget? We're actually way under budget.

0:56:44.000 --> 0:56:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Or the areas that we've renovated, in areas that we've built,

0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:49.919
<v Speaker 1>I would say if we got if we got five

0:56:50.000 --> 0:56:55.759
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars, we could do a tremendous chunkal walls. Well,

0:56:55.800 --> 0:56:57.320
<v Speaker 1>we're going to see, We're going to see. Look, we

0:56:57.400 --> 0:56:59.200
<v Speaker 1>have to have the wall. This isn't a question. This

0:56:59.280 --> 0:57:02.720
<v Speaker 1>is a national emergency. Drugs are pouring into our country.

0:57:02.960 --> 0:57:07.160
<v Speaker 1>People with tremendous medical difficulty and medical problems are pouring in,

0:57:07.239 --> 0:57:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and many in many cases that it's contagious. They're pouring

0:57:11.000 --> 0:57:14.680
<v Speaker 1>into our country. We have to have border security. We

0:57:14.760 --> 0:57:17.560
<v Speaker 1>have to have a wall as part of border security.

0:57:17.840 --> 0:57:20.000
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think we really disagree so much. I

0:57:20.080 --> 0:57:22.800
<v Speaker 1>also know that you know, Nancy is in a situation

0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:25.640
<v Speaker 1>where it's not easy for her to talk right now,

0:57:25.680 --> 0:57:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and I understand that, and I fully understand that we're

0:57:28.360 --> 0:57:30.400
<v Speaker 1>going to have a good discussion and we're going to

0:57:30.440 --> 0:57:33.040
<v Speaker 1>see what happens. We have to have border secret to

0:57:33.040 --> 0:57:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the president, Please don't characterize the strength that I bring

0:57:37.280 --> 0:57:40.880
<v Speaker 1>for this need as a leader of the House Democrats

0:57:41.040 --> 0:57:44.920
<v Speaker 1>who just want a big elections have consequences. He just

0:57:45.080 --> 0:57:46.960
<v Speaker 1>says that's right, and that's why the country is doing

0:57:47.000 --> 0:57:49.760
<v Speaker 1>so well. But the president is representing them as his

0:57:49.960 --> 0:57:53.360
<v Speaker 1>cards over there are not fact. We have to have

0:57:53.400 --> 0:57:58.280
<v Speaker 1>an evident, stase conversation about what does work, what money

0:57:58.360 --> 0:58:01.520
<v Speaker 1>has been spent in, how affects that it is? This

0:58:01.600 --> 0:58:04.040
<v Speaker 1>isn't it that this is about the security of that

0:58:04.200 --> 0:58:07.360
<v Speaker 1>country to take an oath to decay and defend. And

0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:10.360
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to have that mix character by anyone.

0:58:10.920 --> 0:58:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I agree with it, and we are no. No, I

0:58:12.440 --> 0:58:15.000
<v Speaker 1>agree with it. So let us have a conversation. But

0:58:15.120 --> 0:58:18.640
<v Speaker 1>we don't have to contradict in public to statistics that

0:58:18.760 --> 0:58:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you put forth, but instead can have a conversation about

0:58:22.280 --> 0:58:25.080
<v Speaker 1>what will really work and what the American people deserve

0:58:25.240 --> 0:58:28.960
<v Speaker 1>from us at this uncertain time in their lives. One

0:58:29.000 --> 0:58:30.920
<v Speaker 1>thing I think we can agree on is we shouldn't

0:58:30.960 --> 0:58:33.760
<v Speaker 1>shut down the government over a dispute. And you want

0:58:33.760 --> 0:58:36.479
<v Speaker 1>to shut it down. I'm talking about the last time, Chuck,

0:58:36.600 --> 0:58:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you shut it there, no, no, no, and then you

0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:40.920
<v Speaker 1>any time quickly. And I don't want to do what

0:58:41.000 --> 0:58:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you did twenty times shut we've called for. I will

0:58:43.360 --> 0:58:45.480
<v Speaker 1>shut down the government if I don't get my will,

0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:47.840
<v Speaker 1>none of us. If you want to know something, you said, okay,

0:58:47.880 --> 0:58:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you want to put them on set, I'll take it. Okay, good,

0:58:50.720 --> 0:58:53.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'll say. Yes, if we don't get

0:58:53.440 --> 0:58:55.880
<v Speaker 1>what we want one way or the other, whether it's

0:58:55.920 --> 0:58:58.919
<v Speaker 1>through you, through a military, through anything you want to call,

0:58:59.240 --> 0:59:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I will shut down the absolutely. And I am proud

0:59:02.360 --> 0:59:05.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'll just agree. I am proud to shut down

0:59:05.080 --> 0:59:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of

0:59:08.200 --> 0:59:11.960
<v Speaker 1>this country don't want criminals and people that have lots

0:59:11.960 --> 0:59:15.480
<v Speaker 1>of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So I

0:59:15.520 --> 0:59:17.920
<v Speaker 1>will take the mental. I will be the one to

0:59:17.960 --> 0:59:19.720
<v Speaker 1>shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it.

0:59:19.840 --> 0:59:21.800
<v Speaker 1>The last time you shut it down, it didn't work.

0:59:21.920 --> 0:59:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I will take the mental of shutting down, and I'm

0:59:24.280 --> 0:59:26.920
<v Speaker 1>going to shut it down for border but we believe

0:59:26.960 --> 0:59:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't shut it down. Thank you very much, everybody.

0:59:50.520 --> 0:59:52.600
<v Speaker 1>A lot of friends of mine wanted a lot of

0:59:52.600 --> 0:59:55.000
<v Speaker 1>people that Chuck and Nancy know very well wanted. I

0:59:55.000 --> 0:59:57.200
<v Speaker 1>think people you'd like. We have a lot of people

0:59:57.240 --> 0:59:59.240
<v Speaker 1>that want the job chief of steps. So we'll be

0:59:59.480 --> 1:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>seeing what happens very soon. We're no rush. Why we're

1:00:03.160 --> 1:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>no rush? Why? No rush? Why? Because we have a

1:00:06.560 --> 1:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>wonderful chief of staff right now. Just we are in

1:00:09.680 --> 1:00:12.919
<v Speaker 1>no rush. Over a period of a week or two

1:00:13.000 --> 1:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>or maybe less, will announce who it's going to be.

1:00:15.360 --> 1:00:17.080
<v Speaker 1>But we have a lot of people that want the position.

1:00:17.400 --> 1:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much. All right, So that was from

1:00:21.160 --> 1:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>earlier today. That was the President with Nancy Pelosi Chuck

1:00:24.560 --> 1:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Schumer in the Oval office. I'll take a quick break here,

1:00:27.480 --> 1:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll come back. We'll continue eight hundred nine Poll one.

1:00:30.040 --> 1:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Shaun is on number. We'll get to your calls when

1:00:31.800 --> 1:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>we get back. John sam formerly of the Southern District

1:00:34.440 --> 1:00:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of New York Prosecutor, is going to analyze this ridiculous

1:00:38.520 --> 1:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>notion that campaign finance is the big Muller find here,

1:00:42.080 --> 1:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>because it's not, and it's ridiculous and anyone that tells

1:00:44.680 --> 1:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you it is doesn't know what they're talking about. A right,

1:00:48.240 --> 1:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>as we continue, let's get to our busy phones here.

1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Michael is in Pittsburgh, PA. Mike, Hi, how are you

1:00:53.480 --> 1:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>glad you called sir fucor Sean on Good Afternoon. The

1:00:57.960 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>only problem I think I have is the fact that

1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the representatives created a slush fund from our money and

1:01:05.640 --> 1:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>they went ahead and paid off women who accused them

1:01:09.240 --> 1:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>supposedly of sexually harassing them. And I don't know who

1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>these women are. Was it someone's cousin, was it their sister.

1:01:15.400 --> 1:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we have no way to trace you know

1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>how much hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of dollars of

1:01:20.440 --> 1:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>our money, and we don't know who they were. We

1:01:22.600 --> 1:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know what happened, but we knew that was mister Kavanaugh.

1:01:25.760 --> 1:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>We know it was mister Trump, President Trump. I would

1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>like a little uh, you know, a little openness about Yeah,

1:01:33.040 --> 1:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>here's what well, this is what I know. And this

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>was printed. This goes back a year now, and I

1:01:38.920 --> 1:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>remember first seeing it in the New York Post. You know,

1:01:41.760 --> 1:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>like Democratic Control House members they want to impeach President

1:01:45.000 --> 1:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Trump for nondisclosure agreement payments or whatever. You know, a

1:01:49.720 --> 1:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of times they're made just to make things go

1:01:51.840 --> 1:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>away and it's cheaper. Other times it's true and accurate,

1:01:55.520 --> 1:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and they pay a lot of money But the difference

1:01:57.280 --> 1:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>here is, and I think you're raising a point. I

1:02:00.440 --> 1:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>think we have a right to know because I think

1:02:02.960 --> 1:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be a lot of explaining to do

1:02:04.640 --> 1:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Republicans and Democrats if they're spending millions of our tax

1:02:08.640 --> 1:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>dollars to silence women who accused them of everything from

1:02:14.080 --> 1:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>sexual harassment to worse, and that would include a whole

1:02:17.280 --> 1:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of Democrats who stand accused. Now, say what you

1:02:20.600 --> 1:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>will the president's issues, believe them or not. We're twelve

1:02:23.720 --> 1:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>years ago and the president, which we know, would use

1:02:28.800 --> 1:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>his own money, but not the case of Congress. You know,

1:02:32.280 --> 1:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>we had a congresswoman who testified the current members of

1:02:35.320 --> 1:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Congress are known sexual harassers and that fifteen million dollars

1:02:39.240 --> 1:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>of taxpayer money has been paid to hush accusers. Okay,

1:02:44.560 --> 1:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>and Representative Jackie Spire told you a news outlet the

1:02:49.360 --> 1:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>millions have been doled out, and even CNN reported according

1:02:53.520 --> 1:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to Congressional Office of Compliance, there were two hundred and

1:02:56.200 --> 1:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight settlements. Okay, we're footing the bill for that. Now,

1:03:00.600 --> 1:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>if you want to pay somebody off and have your

1:03:02.840 --> 1:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>own nondisclosure agreement, have at it, but don't make me

1:03:05.680 --> 1:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>pay for it. I'm not paying for it. At least

1:03:07.800 --> 1:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna at least we should have the knowledge of

1:03:10.120 --> 1:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>what went on. Right, Yeah, I think the hash too

1:03:13.320 --> 1:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>hash with the hashtag me too, or they bring back

1:03:16.120 --> 1:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the girls, that's all gonna be fake and it's all

1:03:18.960 --> 1:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be for not if they don't really push push

1:03:21.880 --> 1:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>it here. I mean, they really need to go after

1:03:23.880 --> 1:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>these people, whether the Republic. I'll bring this up tonight.

1:03:26.000 --> 1:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>You're raising a good point. All right, Thank you so

1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>much for the call, eight hundred and nine for one,

1:03:29.640 --> 1:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Seawan told free telephone number. All Right, Former SDN Y

1:03:33.560 --> 1:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>proscly Southern District New York Prosecutor John Sale will join us.

1:03:37.800 --> 1:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll get his analysis on this whole campaign finance non issue,

1:03:42.080 --> 1:03:43.919
<v Speaker 1>but we'll they get his take on it straight ahead

1:03:43.920 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>as we continue. Coming up next our final news round

1:03:47.240 --> 1:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>up and Information Overload hour. If it is proven that

1:03:51.960 --> 1:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the President directed or coordinated with Cohen to commit these felonies,

1:03:56.760 --> 1:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>are those impeachable offenses? Well, they would be impeachable offenses.

1:04:00.440 --> 1:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Whether they are important enough to justify an impeachment is

1:04:03.000 --> 1:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a different question, but certainly they'd be impeachable offenses. This president,

1:04:06.360 --> 1:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>in my estimation has done everything possible to certainly be

1:04:12.920 --> 1:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>eligible for impeachment, and so I really do think that

1:04:17.480 --> 1:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>it should be started. I think what this totality of

1:04:20.480 --> 1:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>today's filings show that the House is going to have

1:04:24.000 --> 1:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>little choice the way this is going other than to

1:04:26.880 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>start impeachment proceedings. This is a man who came in

1:04:29.640 --> 1:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and said, I'm bigger than the House. I've been in

1:04:31.360 --> 1:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>checks and balances, I'm beginning the judicial community. I'm bigger

1:04:34.200 --> 1:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>than the free press. And he's going to pay for

1:04:36.280 --> 1:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>that the rest of his life. When immigrants procure their

1:04:39.800 --> 1:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>citizenship by fraud, we strip them of their citizenship. When

1:04:43.320 --> 1:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>a president procures his presidency by fraud, should we consider

1:04:47.560 --> 1:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>doing the same. That can be a criminal case if

1:04:50.440 --> 1:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>they can prove willfulness there. I also think it potentially

1:04:53.920 --> 1:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>grounds for impeachment. I think the American people would support impeachment.

1:04:57.600 --> 1:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump will be must be impeached. He's got to

1:05:01.120 --> 1:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>know his future looks like it's behind bars. Donald Trump

1:05:05.600 --> 1:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>is a criminal enterprise. It certainly looks like they are

1:05:10.840 --> 1:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the kind of offenses that would call for impeachment hearings.

1:05:15.080 --> 1:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>You have this memorable phrase of individual number one. You

1:05:18.480 --> 1:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>know it's going to go down I think in the

1:05:20.800 --> 1:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>history books along with some of those memorable Watergate phrases.

1:05:23.960 --> 1:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Do you agree with Congressman Adam Schiff, who is going

1:05:26.160 --> 1:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to be the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, that

1:05:28.520 --> 1:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>President Trump could be indicted and possibly faced jail time

1:05:33.440 --> 1:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>after he leaves off. Yes, these are felonies that we're

1:05:37.360 --> 1:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about. As it relates to impeachment, Anderson, the Constitution

1:05:40.640 --> 1:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>could not be any clearer. Impeachment is the appropriate remedy

1:05:45.040 --> 1:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>for bribery, for treason, for high crimes and misdemeanors. It

1:05:48.920 --> 1:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>speaks for itself. If the President orchestrated and ordered Michael

1:05:54.280 --> 1:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Cohen to break the law, to act in a criminal manner,

1:05:58.560 --> 1:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and did so knowingly, as Jerry Nadler, the incoming chairman

1:06:03.000 --> 1:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>of the House Judiciary Committee, said, that would be an

1:06:06.640 --> 1:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>appeachurable offense. Potentially again, if knowledge was there, all right, dudes,

1:06:11.320 --> 1:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>round up information overload and yeah, that is your left

1:06:14.520 --> 1:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>wing media and their overreaction and their stupidity and their

1:06:17.240 --> 1:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>ignorance all on full display here. You know, it's amazing

1:06:21.000 --> 1:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the collectively they were waiting for these sentencing recommendations on

1:06:25.960 --> 1:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Cone and Manaford, and the end of the cooperation deal

1:06:29.120 --> 1:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>that Manaford had with the Special Council, thinking that there's

1:06:32.560 --> 1:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a smoking gun so on Russia. But of course there

1:06:36.720 --> 1:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>was nothing. For Michael Kohne, we're talking about taxi medallions,

1:06:40.440 --> 1:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>financial issues, tax issues, loan applications and from Manaphort pretty

1:06:46.680 --> 1:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>much the same thing, nothing to do with Russian collusion.

1:06:50.280 --> 1:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So first that raises the question why might we even

1:06:53.040 --> 1:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>be here right then on the Michael khone, then they

1:06:55.800 --> 1:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>found nothing on Russia, and then like we gotta get something. Well,

1:06:58.840 --> 1:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Michael Kohane said, and he did this at the direction

1:07:02.440 --> 1:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>of the president. Problem with Michael is that's not the

1:07:07.280 --> 1:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>only version of that story that he's given. He said

1:07:10.400 --> 1:07:12.919
<v Speaker 1>actually that he did it on his own without any

1:07:12.920 --> 1:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>input for the president. When the president found out, he

1:07:15.080 --> 1:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>paid him back, So that turns into a whole different thing.

1:07:18.640 --> 1:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I go back to Levine's peace earlier that I mentioned

1:07:22.560 --> 1:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that he put up on Facebook. When you look at

1:07:25.000 --> 1:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>actual campaign rules and the wording in the context, they

1:07:30.560 --> 1:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>don't include nondisclosure agreements NDAs or infinite other contracts, payments, arrangements,

1:07:37.560 --> 1:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>acts of a private nature as campaign contributions. In other words,

1:07:41.840 --> 1:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>it's normal human behavior that was never intended ever, nor

1:07:45.760 --> 1:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>is it mentioned to be regulated or reported. So the

1:07:50.080 --> 1:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Southern District of New York, which I have a lot

1:07:51.880 --> 1:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>of respect for, in this case I believe, is way

1:07:54.240 --> 1:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>off of course. And whatever private payments might have been

1:07:58.560 --> 1:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>made in any amount out by anybody, their private payments

1:08:02.680 --> 1:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>involving private matters. And to underscore, there's no reporting requirement

1:08:06.920 --> 1:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>because they're not campaign payments made with or without with

1:08:10.000 --> 1:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>or without campaign funes. So the inclusion of this and

1:08:15.400 --> 1:08:19.599
<v Speaker 1>their desire to only believe the version of events that

1:08:19.680 --> 1:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>fits their narrative doesn't really work in a court of law.

1:08:24.720 --> 1:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>And as a practical matter, you know, how do you

1:08:27.960 --> 1:08:30.599
<v Speaker 1>get to pick and choose which version of somebody's story

1:08:30.720 --> 1:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>that you want. That he's not a cooperating witness in

1:08:34.200 --> 1:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>this particular case, And but you know, this is what

1:08:37.560 --> 1:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the left wing does. This is what they've been now

1:08:39.479 --> 1:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>calling for for two years. And as for impeachment, I mean,

1:08:43.880 --> 1:08:46.479
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing dumber that I've heard in my life. A

1:08:46.560 --> 1:08:51.519
<v Speaker 1>nondisclosure agreement is a nondisclosure agreement involving private matters that

1:08:51.600 --> 1:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>people agree to. They don't have to agree to it,

1:08:54.120 --> 1:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>but they choose to agree to it, and unrelated to

1:08:57.320 --> 1:08:59.519
<v Speaker 1>anything that ever had to do with his office or

1:08:59.560 --> 1:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>obtaining his office. And how, you know, how we get

1:09:03.200 --> 1:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>to this point is just showing you how desperate and

1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>political things have become in this atmosphere of destroyed Trump anyway.

1:09:10.040 --> 1:09:13.519
<v Speaker 1>John Sale is a former federal prosecutor. He served in

1:09:13.560 --> 1:09:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the Southern District of New York as an assistant special

1:09:18.680 --> 1:09:23.479
<v Speaker 1>Watergate prosecutor as well. And Sale has particular understanding of

1:09:23.520 --> 1:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the Southern District of New York, probably the most prestigious

1:09:28.360 --> 1:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>I guess in the country. Is that a fair statement,

1:09:30.640 --> 1:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>John Sale? I think it is, even though I've been

1:09:33.840 --> 1:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>in other US attorney's office as I think it is.

1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:37.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think it's. I mean the cases that

1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:40.200
<v Speaker 1>have and you worked with Andy. I think on the

1:09:40.280 --> 1:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>blind Shake case, didn't you. You work with Rudy over

1:09:43.360 --> 1:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the years as well well. I worked with Rudy over

1:09:45.320 --> 1:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the years. The judge in the blind See case is

1:09:47.800 --> 1:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>my good friend Michael Mukasey, Right. I mean, the names

1:09:51.280 --> 1:09:53.439
<v Speaker 1>that come out of here are who's who in terms

1:09:53.479 --> 1:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>of legal minds and political uh political powerhouse people so

1:09:59.240 --> 1:10:01.439
<v Speaker 1>and have in the Southern District of New York had

1:10:01.439 --> 1:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>taken on some of the biggest hardest cases, especially with

1:10:04.200 --> 1:10:08.719
<v Speaker 1>terrorism and other issues. What is your reaction to all

1:10:08.760 --> 1:10:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of this. Do you think there's any validity to this

1:10:11.120 --> 1:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>campaign finance argument? Well, I think that that's pretty easy

1:10:16.400 --> 1:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>one for staters. When Michael Kohen first entered his plea,

1:10:21.400 --> 1:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>he pled too. As you pointed up before, he Matt

1:10:23.960 --> 1:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>is involving his own misdeeds, false tax returns, false applications

1:10:28.479 --> 1:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to loans, having nothing in the world to do with

1:10:30.840 --> 1:10:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the president, And they threw in a couple of soil

1:10:34.000 --> 1:10:38.519
<v Speaker 1>called campaign violations, and he gratuitously added, oh, and it

1:10:38.640 --> 1:10:42.519
<v Speaker 1>was directed by obviously he was referring to the president.

1:10:43.160 --> 1:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>And then his lawyer went on TV and tried to

1:10:47.320 --> 1:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>sell his cooperation to the Special Council, which is a

1:10:50.439 --> 1:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of a bizarre way to do it. So now

1:10:52.960 --> 1:10:55.559
<v Speaker 1>he's changed his story for about the eighth time. But

1:10:55.600 --> 1:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you so's showing something that really is unusual.

1:10:58.200 --> 1:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>And as I said, I'm proud of my former offer.

1:11:00.680 --> 1:11:06.639
<v Speaker 1>But usually when two prosecutors officers take different positions, they

1:11:06.840 --> 1:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>don't do it publicly. They'll sit down sometimes with the

1:11:09.280 --> 1:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Deaupment of Justice being the referee, and then they take

1:11:12.120 --> 1:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a uniform position. So here you see the special counsel

1:11:16.560 --> 1:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>saying that he was helpful somewhat, and you have the

1:11:20.080 --> 1:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Southern District blasting him in a sentencing memo. But to

1:11:24.080 --> 1:11:26.160
<v Speaker 1>get back to your question, I mean, first of all,

1:11:26.560 --> 1:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>it's only Michael Khan who is saying he was authorized

1:11:30.400 --> 1:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>by individual number one, which I think it's disingenuous to

1:11:33.720 --> 1:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>say individual number one because we all know who he's

1:11:35.840 --> 1:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>referring to. But I don't concede that that happened because

1:11:39.720 --> 1:11:42.720
<v Speaker 1>of his credibility. But if it did happen, and just

1:11:42.720 --> 1:11:47.439
<v Speaker 1>for the sake of argument there, it's a specific intent crime,

1:11:47.880 --> 1:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>so they would have to prove that individual number one

1:11:52.439 --> 1:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>knew it was against the law, which they can't prove.

1:11:55.880 --> 1:11:59.519
<v Speaker 1>And it's also an offense which is rarely prosecuted criminally

1:12:00.120 --> 1:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>and when and it is usually dealt with by a fine.

1:12:02.960 --> 1:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>So you know, is that impeachable? Well, spitting on the

1:12:05.920 --> 1:12:09.280
<v Speaker 1>sidewalks impeachable if a Congress of votes it is, but

1:12:09.360 --> 1:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of course it shouldn't. It's not an impeachable offense in fairness,

1:12:13.200 --> 1:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not I don't join the bandwagon. I watch

1:12:15.800 --> 1:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>a TV show regularly shown, and I'm a big fan,

1:12:18.280 --> 1:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>but I don't necessarily agree that Mahler's office is on

1:12:22.200 --> 1:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a witch hunt. But I just think they're wrong, and

1:12:24.280 --> 1:12:28.439
<v Speaker 1>I think the fairness you frequently talk about though the

1:12:29.320 --> 1:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>investigation is tainted. I think you don't have to go

1:12:33.960 --> 1:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>there to just look at what are they doing regarding

1:12:37.040 --> 1:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>the president. And I'm not here to defend the president,

1:12:39.680 --> 1:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>but what they're doing regarding the president is unfair the

1:12:42.200 --> 1:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Special Counsel's office, These redacted pleadings, to me, are appalling

1:12:47.360 --> 1:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>that they've filed publicly. And I called four different, very

1:12:52.840 --> 1:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>seasoned federal judges in different parts of the country, and

1:12:56.360 --> 1:12:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I asked every one of them, have you ever in

1:12:58.760 --> 1:13:01.639
<v Speaker 1>your twenty some ideas sitting on the bench seeing anything

1:13:01.680 --> 1:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>like that? And every single one of them said no.

1:13:04.280 --> 1:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>And here's my problem X or whicheveryone we're talking about

1:13:08.200 --> 1:13:11.080
<v Speaker 1>in public. They file a document that says he provided

1:13:11.280 --> 1:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>very valuable information regarding and then it's all blank. So

1:13:15.880 --> 1:13:20.160
<v Speaker 1>what does that lead to speculation about it? Is it

1:13:20.240 --> 1:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>why I'm not going to mention their names, because I'm

1:13:22.080 --> 1:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>going to then contribute to the problem of destroying their reputations.

1:13:26.400 --> 1:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>That information should be filed under seal so that nobody's

1:13:29.920 --> 1:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>speculating and nobody is in them imagination creating evidence about

1:13:35.000 --> 1:13:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the president, about the president's family. And the only thing

1:13:38.120 --> 1:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>it tells me is that this investigation is probably not

1:13:42.320 --> 1:13:46.599
<v Speaker 1>coming to a close. And I think it should and

1:13:46.680 --> 1:13:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I think they're As I have said before, if a

1:13:51.320 --> 1:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>special Council does a very thorough investigation and it does

1:13:56.439 --> 1:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>not incriminate the president, they have not failed. If the

1:14:00.680 --> 1:14:05.120
<v Speaker 1>evidence shows it does, then that's one thing. But we

1:14:05.200 --> 1:14:08.639
<v Speaker 1>have not seen any evidence to incriminate the president. And

1:14:08.720 --> 1:14:11.040
<v Speaker 1>everyone is spy on some of the other networks. Everyone

1:14:11.080 --> 1:14:14.200
<v Speaker 1>is speculating, and that's all it is unless they are right. Well,

1:14:14.280 --> 1:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>here's some of my problems. Let me tell you where

1:14:17.720 --> 1:14:21.360
<v Speaker 1>my main criticisms are is I think we've lost any

1:14:21.400 --> 1:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>sense of equal application of our laws, equal justice of

1:14:25.120 --> 1:14:28.599
<v Speaker 1>our laws. Under our laws I look at I can

1:14:28.640 --> 1:14:31.680
<v Speaker 1>compartmentalize and break down each individual case for you, but

1:14:33.240 --> 1:14:35.559
<v Speaker 1>there are a whole lot of people I have listed

1:14:35.560 --> 1:14:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that have been caught lying to either Congress or to

1:14:39.479 --> 1:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the FBI and nothing has happened to them. I'm worried

1:14:42.080 --> 1:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>about a double standard. I'm worried about in the Michael

1:14:44.880 --> 1:14:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Flinn case, the abuse of surveillance. They didn't. They ended

1:14:48.520 --> 1:14:52.519
<v Speaker 1>up unmasking him and leaking raw intelligence against him, which

1:14:52.600 --> 1:14:55.799
<v Speaker 1>is against the law. He wasn't doing anything nefarious except

1:14:55.800 --> 1:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>talking to a future counterpart. Nobody in the FBI thought

1:14:58.960 --> 1:15:01.479
<v Speaker 1>Michael Flynn had lied when they did the interview with him,

1:15:01.479 --> 1:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>but yet he signed onto that because he's bankrupt, and

1:15:04.120 --> 1:15:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I would suspect they probably said, well, we're going to

1:15:06.120 --> 1:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>go after your son, and he probably dove on his sword.

1:15:08.160 --> 1:15:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a pretty good educated guess. We know

1:15:11.040 --> 1:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>they were writing an exoneration of Hillary in May with

1:15:14.320 --> 1:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Ay had written in the legal standard gross negligence and

1:15:18.439 --> 1:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>changed it shifted into extreme carelessness. That was in early maya,

1:15:21.880 --> 1:15:25.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen. Comey said that he wasn't writing it before

1:15:26.400 --> 1:15:29.719
<v Speaker 1>he interviewed her. That was a lie, and Peter Struck

1:15:29.720 --> 1:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and James Comy were writing that, and then it ends

1:15:32.040 --> 1:15:34.679
<v Speaker 1>up that I felt like they gave her a pass.

1:15:34.800 --> 1:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's a clear violation having top secret

1:15:38.000 --> 1:15:42.599
<v Speaker 1>classified information on an outside server the way she did,

1:15:42.680 --> 1:15:45.679
<v Speaker 1>and their original assessment was that as many as six

1:15:45.760 --> 1:15:49.519
<v Speaker 1>foreign intelligence agencies hacked into it, and then we have,

1:15:49.640 --> 1:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>of course, the beginning of the Russians investigations. Comey said

1:15:52.920 --> 1:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Friday least a page before that they had nothing after

1:15:55.439 --> 1:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>nine months of looking at it. So why after nine

1:15:58.040 --> 1:16:00.679
<v Speaker 1>months did they start with a special counsel James Comey

1:16:00.760 --> 1:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>helped precipitate. And then we get into the issue of,

1:16:04.720 --> 1:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Russian dossier and lying to FISA courts

1:16:09.040 --> 1:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>for Jim Comey to say they never vetted or verified

1:16:11.800 --> 1:16:14.559
<v Speaker 1>anything in that document that he signed that would spy

1:16:14.640 --> 1:16:18.559
<v Speaker 1>on an American citizen, a Trump campaign official. If we

1:16:18.560 --> 1:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>really care about Russian influence, I think we would dig

1:16:20.840 --> 1:16:23.840
<v Speaker 1>into that matter as deeply as any matters involving Trump.

1:16:24.280 --> 1:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I think the Uranium one deal is even more problematic

1:16:27.320 --> 1:16:29.799
<v Speaker 1>because we ended up handing over twenty percent of America's

1:16:29.880 --> 1:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>uranium while we had a spy inside of Plutin's network

1:16:33.000 --> 1:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>in America. We knew they wanted a foothold in the

1:16:35.439 --> 1:16:39.200
<v Speaker 1>uranium industry. Our spy was telling our top FBI official

1:16:39.200 --> 1:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>at the time, Robert Muller, that there was blackmail, bribery, extortion,

1:16:43.400 --> 1:16:46.599
<v Speaker 1>and kickbacks going on. It still happened, and the people

1:16:46.640 --> 1:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>involved kickback one hundred and forty five million of the

1:16:48.760 --> 1:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Clinton Foundation. So if we cared about Russian influence, we

1:16:52.280 --> 1:16:55.559
<v Speaker 1>would be also covering those stories, and they're not in

1:16:55.560 --> 1:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the particular cases I'm mentioning here. I feel like I

1:16:58.000 --> 1:17:00.439
<v Speaker 1>have real evidence in corroboration where they have none as

1:17:00.479 --> 1:17:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it relates to Trump. So the double standard is glaring

1:17:03.200 --> 1:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to me. Well, Shan, you lay out a very plausible case,

1:17:09.040 --> 1:17:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and I think this should be an investigation of all

1:17:11.920 --> 1:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>of that. And I give all of the people you're

1:17:14.840 --> 1:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>referring to the presuction of innocence. Oh, I hang on

1:17:17.920 --> 1:17:19.479
<v Speaker 1>one second, Why don't we pick it up there? But

1:17:20.479 --> 1:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to give you a full chance to respond

1:17:22.120 --> 1:17:27.479
<v Speaker 1>more with John Sale eight hundred nine one Sean. Right,

1:17:27.520 --> 1:17:30.880
<v Speaker 1>as we continue with John Sale, former federal prosecutors served

1:17:30.920 --> 1:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Southern District of New York and also served

1:17:33.800 --> 1:17:36.680
<v Speaker 1>as an assistant special Watergate prosecutor. Right, I gave you

1:17:36.760 --> 1:17:39.519
<v Speaker 1>this whole litany of where I believe the double standard is,

1:17:39.560 --> 1:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>and you were saying, I was saying before you had

1:17:42.680 --> 1:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to go to the break, that you lay out a

1:17:44.760 --> 1:17:47.679
<v Speaker 1>very plausible case, and I think it should all be

1:17:48.280 --> 1:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>investigated by a legitimate, appropriate investigator, probably the depaupuit of justice.

1:17:53.000 --> 1:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't. I think there's too many special

1:17:55.320 --> 1:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>counsels around. Having been part of a special prosecution in Watergate,

1:17:59.160 --> 1:18:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think we all came away thinking that

1:18:01.439 --> 1:18:03.559
<v Speaker 1>there's a problem. You have to do it right, but

1:18:03.600 --> 1:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>there's really no accountability. That's the danger with a special counsel.

1:18:07.479 --> 1:18:10.559
<v Speaker 1>But switching to the president, if I think that should

1:18:10.560 --> 1:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>be investigated, and I think every person you mentioned should

1:18:14.240 --> 1:18:17.479
<v Speaker 1>get the presumption of innocence, but where is that presumption

1:18:17.520 --> 1:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>of innocence for the president? I mean? And you? But

1:18:20.040 --> 1:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>how can we justify all the time, two years worth

1:18:24.160 --> 1:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of investigated work with no evidence and then they're going

1:18:27.080 --> 1:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>after people, you know with thirty five years of serving

1:18:30.240 --> 1:18:33.800
<v Speaker 1>their country, track records of you know, on a lying

1:18:33.880 --> 1:18:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to the FBI. Doesn't that by the way, doesn't that

1:18:36.640 --> 1:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>render Doesn't that take away motivation for those of us

1:18:40.240 --> 1:18:42.479
<v Speaker 1>to love the FBI from ever wanting to talk to them.

1:18:42.520 --> 1:18:45.599
<v Speaker 1>If that's the result, well, I think we should respect

1:18:45.600 --> 1:18:48.840
<v Speaker 1>the FBI. I think most do respetomen who I know,

1:18:48.920 --> 1:18:51.599
<v Speaker 1>I know you do, And because I have an active

1:18:51.680 --> 1:18:53.920
<v Speaker 1>law practice in Miami and I deal with the FBI

1:18:54.000 --> 1:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>all the time, and most of them are one of

1:18:55.920 --> 1:19:00.599
<v Speaker 1>the best chins. But but Sean, it's it's not the FBI.

1:19:01.080 --> 1:19:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's uh, just what's going on possibly with

1:19:04.880 --> 1:19:08.599
<v Speaker 1>a few individuals. But again I don't want to prejudge them,

1:19:08.760 --> 1:19:11.559
<v Speaker 1>but I would say other people who are prejudging the

1:19:11.600 --> 1:19:16.800
<v Speaker 1>president and making outrageous statements based upon nothing and that

1:19:16.920 --> 1:19:22.160
<v Speaker 1>based upon redactions. I gotta run John Salem just away behind.

1:19:22.200 --> 1:19:24.479
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, my friend. Eight hundred nine for one, Sean,

1:19:25.080 --> 1:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>toll free telephone number. There's a voice of sanity in

1:19:27.320 --> 1:19:30.599
<v Speaker 1>this finally quick break right back. We'll continue all right

1:19:30.640 --> 1:19:32.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty five now till the top of the hour. Toll

1:19:32.840 --> 1:19:35.280
<v Speaker 1>free telephone numbers eight hundred and nine for one, Sean.

1:19:35.360 --> 1:19:38.120
<v Speaker 1>If you want to be a part of the program,

1:19:38.160 --> 1:19:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you everything I'm doing tomorrow until I

1:19:40.680 --> 1:19:43.759
<v Speaker 1>get on the air tomorrow. But I'm doing something very cool.

1:19:44.360 --> 1:19:47.679
<v Speaker 1>And you know at this time of year, especially knowing

1:19:47.760 --> 1:19:50.519
<v Speaker 1>all of you in this audience, your great love, your passion,

1:19:50.560 --> 1:19:54.759
<v Speaker 1>your understanding of the sacrifice of so many others for us.

1:19:55.439 --> 1:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>One group we've really gotten to know in recent years

1:19:58.880 --> 1:20:02.680
<v Speaker 1>as Troops Direct. They're an organization gets that gets needed supplies,

1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:05.760
<v Speaker 1>tools to deploy troops. And I'm not saying this. We

1:20:06.080 --> 1:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>work with a lot of military charities, but they get

1:20:09.320 --> 1:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the supplies to the troops that they need and the

1:20:12.840 --> 1:20:17.360
<v Speaker 1>tools they need when they're sent overseas, so they're not underprepared.

1:20:17.920 --> 1:20:21.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's donations from we the people, the American people,

1:20:21.200 --> 1:20:24.639
<v Speaker 1>that keep this nonprofit organization going all year long. And

1:20:24.920 --> 1:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, look, we go about our daily lives. We

1:20:27.040 --> 1:20:29.760
<v Speaker 1>don't stop every minute, every second of every day and

1:20:30.800 --> 1:20:33.880
<v Speaker 1>think about what sacrifice goes on behind the scenes and

1:20:34.200 --> 1:20:36.599
<v Speaker 1>on the front lines for us. But at this time

1:20:36.600 --> 1:20:38.559
<v Speaker 1>of year, we think about giving, and we think about

1:20:38.560 --> 1:20:40.799
<v Speaker 1>all that we have. And one of the great blessings

1:20:40.840 --> 1:20:42.880
<v Speaker 1>we have are so many men and women that want us,

1:20:42.960 --> 1:20:46.840
<v Speaker 1>serve us and keep us free so that we can

1:20:46.920 --> 1:20:49.960
<v Speaker 1>live in peace. Our brave men and women, and they

1:20:50.000 --> 1:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>sacrifice a lot to do it. Their family sacrifice a

1:20:52.760 --> 1:20:55.360
<v Speaker 1>lot to let them do it. Anyway, joining us now

1:20:55.880 --> 1:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>is Aaron Narbomb, who's with us, founder executive director, and

1:21:00.280 --> 1:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Jake Jones is with us. Guys, how are you good

1:21:03.240 --> 1:21:05.639
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you again? What's going on? Hie afternoon?

1:21:05.720 --> 1:21:07.599
<v Speaker 1>How are you you know? The only thing I don't

1:21:07.720 --> 1:21:12.560
<v Speaker 1>understand is why for example, we're deploying people without needed helmets,

1:21:12.640 --> 1:21:17.880
<v Speaker 1>body armor, carriers and some fundamental things that the government

1:21:17.880 --> 1:21:20.160
<v Speaker 1>should be providing. We now had a big increase in

1:21:20.200 --> 1:21:23.720
<v Speaker 1>our military budget. Why are they still without some basics? Well,

1:21:23.800 --> 1:21:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, Sean and I founded Troops Direct in twenty ten.

1:21:27.880 --> 1:21:29.880
<v Speaker 1>That was the question I asked as well. And I

1:21:29.920 --> 1:21:32.599
<v Speaker 1>thought our troops had everything that they needed when they

1:21:32.640 --> 1:21:36.719
<v Speaker 1>were in harm's way defending our country. And I found

1:21:36.720 --> 1:21:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that that was just not the case because of bureaucracy's

1:21:39.600 --> 1:21:44.200
<v Speaker 1>red tape, the slow logistics sometimes the military that our

1:21:44.280 --> 1:21:48.120
<v Speaker 1>troops need things immediately for their missions and to protect

1:21:48.120 --> 1:21:51.200
<v Speaker 1>their lives and the lives of their brethren in a

1:21:51.240 --> 1:21:53.960
<v Speaker 1>manner that's quicker sometimes in the military supply chain is

1:21:54.000 --> 1:21:57.120
<v Speaker 1>And we have I have Jake Jones who works full

1:21:57.120 --> 1:21:59.360
<v Speaker 1>time for US, who was a recipient of our support,

1:21:59.400 --> 1:22:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and he said, I need to be a part of this.

1:22:01.280 --> 1:22:04.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know that's why we exist, is to support

1:22:04.560 --> 1:22:07.599
<v Speaker 1>our troops immediately, to help them get their jobs done

1:22:07.640 --> 1:22:09.639
<v Speaker 1>and get them back home. But Sean, I'll let Jake

1:22:09.760 --> 1:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>speak more to it. Jake, why don't you, you know,

1:22:11.880 --> 1:22:13.400
<v Speaker 1>fill us in on all the things that you guys

1:22:13.439 --> 1:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>are doing and the things that they need, well, it's

1:22:15.760 --> 1:22:18.880
<v Speaker 1>really a myriad of things. Sean. We support anything that

1:22:18.920 --> 1:22:22.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't go boomer banks for r compliant vendors. So it's

1:22:22.439 --> 1:22:28.120
<v Speaker 1>anything from boots to rifle scopes, laser rangefinders, helmets, body armor,

1:22:28.840 --> 1:22:31.639
<v Speaker 1>advanced medical kits, and these things are in demand every day.

1:22:31.680 --> 1:22:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean I spend proximately kinds of thousands of dollars

1:22:35.520 --> 1:22:38.439
<v Speaker 1>monthly in the support that we provide to our service

1:22:38.479 --> 1:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>members overseas. And it's all done to the patriotic donations

1:22:41.840 --> 1:22:45.040
<v Speaker 1>of just mom and pops from around all around the

1:22:45.120 --> 1:22:47.960
<v Speaker 1>United States that just want to keep America's sons and

1:22:48.040 --> 1:22:50.120
<v Speaker 1>daughters secure. All right, So tell me, you know, so

1:22:50.200 --> 1:22:52.479
<v Speaker 1>how does it work here? You know, you tell stories.

1:22:52.479 --> 1:22:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I know there was a case where a generator that

1:22:54.600 --> 1:22:58.360
<v Speaker 1>was powering us a remote special opts outposts failed and

1:22:58.600 --> 1:23:02.240
<v Speaker 1>replacement parts one or twelve month backwater. Through the military

1:23:02.280 --> 1:23:05.320
<v Speaker 1>supply chain, you were able to acquire and ship those

1:23:05.360 --> 1:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>needed parts in less than seventy two hours. You know,

1:23:08.120 --> 1:23:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that's my numbing bureaucracy to me, that's the kind of

1:23:11.400 --> 1:23:14.439
<v Speaker 1>thing that drives me crazy. But or when a unit

1:23:14.520 --> 1:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>was rushed to fight terrorism, in the Middle East, but

1:23:17.320 --> 1:23:21.400
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have the necessary communications equipment. I agree most

1:23:21.439 --> 1:23:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of this help was needed in the Obama years. Are

1:23:23.720 --> 1:23:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you seeing a shift and a change though under the

1:23:26.880 --> 1:23:31.479
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration, considering they now have you know, considerably increased

1:23:31.520 --> 1:23:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the military budget and general matters, we are seeing an

1:23:35.040 --> 1:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>increase the support through the new Trump administration, whether our

1:23:39.120 --> 1:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>ability to with rules of engagement or engagement authorities being

1:23:43.040 --> 1:23:46.280
<v Speaker 1>pushed down to the tactical level as opposed to the

1:23:46.320 --> 1:23:49.120
<v Speaker 1>previous administration where it was at the general Walster level.

1:23:49.600 --> 1:23:53.200
<v Speaker 1>But yet you know, the endless terrorists game of lackable

1:23:53.240 --> 1:23:56.200
<v Speaker 1>if you will, that's global. We need to have the

1:23:56.520 --> 1:24:00.160
<v Speaker 1>ability to surge assets at a moment's notice, and that's

1:24:00.160 --> 1:24:03.360
<v Speaker 1>really what we're seeing now is the fluidity of the situation.

1:24:03.560 --> 1:24:07.440
<v Speaker 1>For us to go out and remove terrorists in the battlefield,

1:24:07.080 --> 1:24:09.640
<v Speaker 1>we have to be agile enough to do it, and

1:24:09.800 --> 1:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the government doesn't allow them to do that because of

1:24:12.680 --> 1:24:16.639
<v Speaker 1>the contracting requirements. So we can click and shift anything

1:24:16.640 --> 1:24:19.920
<v Speaker 1>in the world, anything globally within ten to fifteen minutes

1:24:19.960 --> 1:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>if it's in stock, and if it's not, I'll get

1:24:22.000 --> 1:24:23.479
<v Speaker 1>it in stock and get it out the door. Suit

1:24:23.520 --> 1:24:25.760
<v Speaker 1>as possible. And you know, Sean, one thing that the

1:24:25.800 --> 1:24:29.760
<v Speaker 1>public doesn't realize is that we have Americans serving right

1:24:29.800 --> 1:24:33.280
<v Speaker 1>now as this program airs in over one hundred and

1:24:33.360 --> 1:24:37.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty countries around the globe, whether it's your special Operations

1:24:37.120 --> 1:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>teams or it's your regular old infantry service member, and

1:24:42.200 --> 1:24:44.880
<v Speaker 1>they need things sometimes quicker than that airplane from the

1:24:44.880 --> 1:24:47.760
<v Speaker 1>military can get there. And that's why Troops Direct is

1:24:47.800 --> 1:24:50.280
<v Speaker 1>so valuable, because our service members know what they need

1:24:50.720 --> 1:24:53.559
<v Speaker 1>right now to get their job done. And I can

1:24:53.600 --> 1:24:56.960
<v Speaker 1>tell you we've unfortunately seen casualties out there in the

1:24:56.960 --> 1:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>battle space with the units that we have suppli through

1:25:00.479 --> 1:25:03.639
<v Speaker 1>the years, but those Americans have said that without Troops Direct,

1:25:03.840 --> 1:25:06.880
<v Speaker 1>less missions would be accomplished and more lives would have

1:25:06.920 --> 1:25:09.760
<v Speaker 1>been lost if it wasn't for the support that we

1:25:09.840 --> 1:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>provide them. And as you know, Sean, we are the

1:25:12.880 --> 1:25:15.599
<v Speaker 1>only ones out there that do what we do for

1:25:15.600 --> 1:25:18.640
<v Speaker 1>our Americans every single you know, people forget too. We

1:25:18.680 --> 1:25:21.120
<v Speaker 1>have Americans deployed, and I know it's hard to believe

1:25:21.160 --> 1:25:24.640
<v Speaker 1>in one hundred and thirty different countries, and this is

1:25:24.680 --> 1:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a vital role that you guys have playing. Look, the

1:25:27.040 --> 1:25:28.799
<v Speaker 1>bottom line is I wanted to have you on, explain

1:25:28.840 --> 1:25:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it to our audience and how can they help. We

1:25:31.439 --> 1:25:36.240
<v Speaker 1>have a very generous audience, especially with military matters. You're

1:25:36.280 --> 1:25:40.639
<v Speaker 1>specifically getting them really important things so they can do

1:25:40.760 --> 1:25:45.599
<v Speaker 1>their job. You know, uniforms, helmets, communication equipment, life support here.

1:25:45.680 --> 1:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>So if somebody wants to help and you get to

1:25:48.360 --> 1:25:50.760
<v Speaker 1>bypass all the bureaucracy, how can they do it? They

1:25:50.800 --> 1:25:53.680
<v Speaker 1>can go to troops direct dot org and make a

1:25:53.760 --> 1:25:57.479
<v Speaker 1>donation today. You know, our overhead is less than two

1:25:57.600 --> 1:26:01.599
<v Speaker 1>percent here, and if you're really say you support the troops,

1:26:02.040 --> 1:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>this is the way to do it. Yeah, the troops

1:26:04.040 --> 1:26:08.320
<v Speaker 1>like cookies and candy, but the troops need life support systems.

1:26:08.320 --> 1:26:11.880
<v Speaker 1>The troops need replacement uniforms because there's are bloodied and torn.

1:26:11.960 --> 1:26:15.040
<v Speaker 1>They need the communications that have failed while they're in

1:26:15.040 --> 1:26:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the battle space, and we're the ones that they come

1:26:18.120 --> 1:26:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to to get them now. So the best Christmas gift

1:26:21.120 --> 1:26:23.240
<v Speaker 1>we can give our troops is the products they needs

1:26:23.280 --> 1:26:25.760
<v Speaker 1>they can get back home to their families and so well,

1:26:25.880 --> 1:26:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna make a donation. I don't ask my audience

1:26:27.960 --> 1:26:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to do something that I myself won't do, and I'm

1:26:31.240 --> 1:26:34.400
<v Speaker 1>gladly give to a great cause such as this, we'll

1:26:34.400 --> 1:26:37.160
<v Speaker 1>put it up on Hannity dot com, troops direct dot

1:26:37.280 --> 1:26:39.559
<v Speaker 1>org and there's also all the information you'd ever want

1:26:39.600 --> 1:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to check out the good work that they're doing every day.

1:26:42.200 --> 1:26:45.200
<v Speaker 1>And Merry Christmas to you guys, and you know, godspeed

1:26:45.200 --> 1:26:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and what you're doing. And our thoughts and prayers are

1:26:47.280 --> 1:26:50.400
<v Speaker 1>always with these these men and women that so bravely

1:26:50.520 --> 1:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>sacrifice so much for us to give us the opportunities

1:26:53.000 --> 1:26:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we have every day. Well, Sean, you've been a longtime

1:26:55.760 --> 1:26:58.280
<v Speaker 1>advocate and supporter for us, and you know from the

1:26:58.320 --> 1:27:00.200
<v Speaker 1>helm here are troops Director. I just want to see you.

1:27:00.280 --> 1:27:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for everything that you do for

1:27:03.080 --> 1:27:06.760
<v Speaker 1>our troops through your advocacy. Well, we appreciate it, and

1:27:06.800 --> 1:27:08.599
<v Speaker 1>we'll put it up on Hannity dot com or just

1:27:08.640 --> 1:27:12.960
<v Speaker 1>remember troops direct dot org. All right, thanks so much

1:27:12.960 --> 1:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>for being with us. We appreciate it. We Aaron, thank you, Jake,

1:27:16.760 --> 1:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>thanks you as well. Eight hundred nine four one, Sean

1:27:19.280 --> 1:27:21.439
<v Speaker 1>is on number. Greg is in Ohio. Greg, Hi, how

1:27:21.439 --> 1:27:24.280
<v Speaker 1>are you welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Hello, Sean,

1:27:25.520 --> 1:27:28.280
<v Speaker 1>just want to say that I've been listening to you

1:27:28.360 --> 1:27:30.880
<v Speaker 1>for a long time since actually since two thousand and eight,

1:27:31.080 --> 1:27:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and I keep here and over and over again. How

1:27:35.120 --> 1:27:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you know about this smaller investigation. The way to stop it,

1:27:39.080 --> 1:27:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I think is for whoever's being investigated, whoever has been

1:27:42.560 --> 1:27:46.320
<v Speaker 1>found guilty of anything that he's uncovered, should just go

1:27:46.439 --> 1:27:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and have it all reversed, because it's all through the

1:27:48.960 --> 1:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>poisonous tree. None of this investigation would have started without

1:27:53.560 --> 1:27:58.320
<v Speaker 1>that dossier, and we know that dossier is false. Listen,

1:27:58.479 --> 1:28:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I the double standards. What is amazing to me. It's

1:28:01.200 --> 1:28:05.439
<v Speaker 1>so funny because Friday there was a you could feel

1:28:05.479 --> 1:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>it in the air. They thought they had the president.

1:28:08.680 --> 1:28:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Then that they got to the inner writings of the

1:28:13.240 --> 1:28:16.360
<v Speaker 1>sentencing recommendations and the Cone case and the Metaphor case,

1:28:16.680 --> 1:28:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and when you really break it down, they had nothing.

1:28:19.600 --> 1:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing Russia. There's still nothing Russia. I mean, it's amazing.

1:28:23.160 --> 1:28:25.880
<v Speaker 1>And then go to Friday's transcript of Jim Comey, and

1:28:26.000 --> 1:28:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Jim Comey you know, said that, oh, when I was fired,

1:28:29.920 --> 1:28:33.320
<v Speaker 1>we still hadn't found anything about Russia. That's nine months

1:28:33.439 --> 1:28:36.719
<v Speaker 1>after this whole thing began, nearly a year. Lisa Page

1:28:36.720 --> 1:28:39.040
<v Speaker 1>had said the same thing. And what you then have

1:28:39.439 --> 1:28:43.400
<v Speaker 1>is that nassier that Clinton wought for that became the

1:28:43.439 --> 1:28:47.800
<v Speaker 1>basis again unverified. That's that's the other amazing thing. He said, No,

1:28:47.960 --> 1:28:49.960
<v Speaker 1>we never verified it, but he put his name to it.

1:28:50.160 --> 1:28:53.639
<v Speaker 1>And that Russian lying dossier that was paid for ought

1:28:53.720 --> 1:28:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to be as important to the investigation of Muller or

1:28:57.080 --> 1:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>we need another special counsel to really look into it.

1:29:00.280 --> 1:29:03.360
<v Speaker 1>To that separately, and Uranium one separately. But there's real

1:29:03.400 --> 1:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>evidence and proof here and all that. The only thing

1:29:06.760 --> 1:29:10.280
<v Speaker 1>they went back on is this whole issue of campaign finance,

1:29:10.320 --> 1:29:13.720
<v Speaker 1>which I outlined earlier in the program today, and I

1:29:13.840 --> 1:29:17.519
<v Speaker 1>go back there is nothing there for them legally at all,

1:29:17.600 --> 1:29:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in spite of what you are hearing. Nothing. So it's

1:29:20.800 --> 1:29:23.160
<v Speaker 1>so these are pretty amazing times that we live in.

1:29:23.479 --> 1:29:26.679
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just convinced that you're gonna fee they're gonna

1:29:26.800 --> 1:29:29.560
<v Speaker 1>rise up and say that we gotta impeachment, impeachment. But

1:29:29.600 --> 1:29:31.960
<v Speaker 1>they've been saying that from two years and it's still

1:29:32.000 --> 1:29:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the same people. You know, if you really listen, just

1:29:34.439 --> 1:29:38.599
<v Speaker 1>gets louder at times and then it lessens. And look,

1:29:38.680 --> 1:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Muller's gonna do his thing. He's gonna write his report,

1:29:41.000 --> 1:29:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Julianni will write his report, and there's not going to

1:29:44.200 --> 1:29:46.360
<v Speaker 1>be any crimes you can indict a sitting president in

1:29:46.439 --> 1:29:50.240
<v Speaker 1>any way, and the Trump administration is going to go on.

1:29:50.439 --> 1:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But as you're watching all of this unfold and then

1:29:52.720 --> 1:29:55.519
<v Speaker 1>the new investigations in Congress, just to ask yourself, you know,

1:29:55.720 --> 1:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>how is this all for the benefit of the American people.

1:30:00.000 --> 1:30:01.880
<v Speaker 1>It's going to help the average American? Is going to

1:30:02.000 --> 1:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>keep us safer as a country? Is it going to

1:30:04.320 --> 1:30:07.519
<v Speaker 1>provide more opportunities for Americans? And the answer is going

1:30:07.560 --> 1:30:11.080
<v Speaker 1>to be a resounding no. And that means that they're

1:30:11.200 --> 1:30:15.000
<v Speaker 1>doing this purely out of a hatred and a power

1:30:15.160 --> 1:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>play that they have orchestrated. You know, public servants are

1:30:18.720 --> 1:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>supposed to serve their constituents, the people. We the people.

1:30:22.800 --> 1:30:25.800
<v Speaker 1>That's what was so powerful about the Pelosi, Trump and

1:30:26.040 --> 1:30:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Schumer exchange. It's the President's like, no, my job is

1:30:28.800 --> 1:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to keep the American people safe, and they just can't

1:30:32.320 --> 1:30:35.599
<v Speaker 1>deal with that reality. It's been a big issue anyway.

1:30:35.640 --> 1:30:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Eight hundred nine for one, Shaun is on number of

1:30:38.120 --> 1:30:41.400
<v Speaker 1>a big time AJ Houston, Texas. What's going on, baby?

1:30:41.400 --> 1:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>How are you? What's going on? Oh? Manqui? Happy thanks

1:30:48.040 --> 1:30:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Giving to you guys. Everybody everybody up is Everybody always

1:30:52.840 --> 1:30:57.160
<v Speaker 1>sucking up to Linda. Everybody's always sucking up to Linda

1:30:57.400 --> 1:31:00.000
<v Speaker 1>on a phone call earlier today, they're sucking up to Lenda.

1:31:00.040 --> 1:31:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Then I would not mistake true friendship and affection for

1:31:05.439 --> 1:31:07.840
<v Speaker 1>sucking up. You know, some people just like other people, no,

1:31:08.000 --> 1:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>because they know that you hold the keys to the

1:31:10.240 --> 1:31:12.559
<v Speaker 1>kingdom and people can get past your kingdom. Is that

1:31:13.640 --> 1:31:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to get to me? What I don't know. I don't

1:31:17.160 --> 1:31:20.280
<v Speaker 1>have any kingdom. My kingdom is a he's just like

1:31:20.520 --> 1:31:23.080
<v Speaker 1>me for my New York brashness, you know, especially people

1:31:23.160 --> 1:31:25.280
<v Speaker 1>like Aj. You know he's in Texas. There's no one

1:31:25.320 --> 1:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>like me that, no one. No one talks like you there,

1:31:28.479 --> 1:31:31.519
<v Speaker 1>right Daj. Nobody talks like that. You know. It's the

1:31:31.560 --> 1:31:34.760
<v Speaker 1>first of all. That's what we love about. That is

1:31:34.840 --> 1:31:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the most important that we love than I'm glad someone

1:31:42.240 --> 1:31:46.599
<v Speaker 1>to the idiot now America, now that we see who

1:31:46.960 --> 1:31:51.439
<v Speaker 1>President Trump is for, all the media have egg on.

1:31:51.520 --> 1:31:53.800
<v Speaker 1>They think this man is for the people, This man

1:31:53.960 --> 1:31:57.759
<v Speaker 1>is for this country. You see what, Nancy, They dirty

1:31:57.840 --> 1:32:00.400
<v Speaker 1>rat and I said it, and I don't get me.

1:32:00.439 --> 1:32:02.840
<v Speaker 1>They done it. Rat. They don't care for America. They

1:32:02.880 --> 1:32:05.559
<v Speaker 1>don't care for our safety. We didn't have these egals.

1:32:05.600 --> 1:32:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Like Trump said, we got people coming in here. They're

1:32:08.280 --> 1:32:10.680
<v Speaker 1>doing bad things to this country, and they won't two

1:32:10.840 --> 1:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>meeting more or two thousand. I don't. Trump is a man,

1:32:14.880 --> 1:32:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and don't let nobody fool you people. This man up

1:32:18.000 --> 1:32:21.439
<v Speaker 1>there making deals, This man up there cared about the country.

1:32:21.560 --> 1:32:24.719
<v Speaker 1>And if we set back and that the left wing media,

1:32:24.920 --> 1:32:27.760
<v Speaker 1>dick Jake, what this man doing? You right, Sean, They're

1:32:27.760 --> 1:32:29.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit him like a bad habit. But guess what,

1:32:29.960 --> 1:32:32.599
<v Speaker 1>they're hitting the wrong man because Trump gonna hit them

1:32:32.600 --> 1:32:36.360
<v Speaker 1>back just as bad. And I thank god we got God.

1:32:36.720 --> 1:32:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is what America wanted. America wanted a disruptor.

1:32:40.920 --> 1:32:45.280
<v Speaker 1>America wanted a fighter. And it's like, there's no chance

1:32:45.360 --> 1:32:48.639
<v Speaker 1>in hell that you're ever gonna win a better trade

1:32:48.640 --> 1:32:54.160
<v Speaker 1>deal with your European allies China, Mexico, Canada unless you

1:32:54.280 --> 1:32:56.320
<v Speaker 1>say I'm gonna pull out of the other one and

1:32:56.320 --> 1:32:59.000
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have teriffs if you don't, if the threat

1:32:59.080 --> 1:33:02.920
<v Speaker 1>isn't real, it's empty, and then they're never gonna respond.

1:33:03.040 --> 1:33:05.280
<v Speaker 1>So all of that is getting done, some of it

1:33:05.320 --> 1:33:07.519
<v Speaker 1>already has gotten the same with NATO. Why do we

1:33:07.560 --> 1:33:10.920
<v Speaker 1>have to pay the bulk of NATO, while Angela Merkel

1:33:11.120 --> 1:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>stupidly is making multi billion dollars deals to make Putin

1:33:15.280 --> 1:33:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and Russia rich again, and their entire commodity is based on,

1:33:20.240 --> 1:33:22.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, the hope that he doesn't turn off to

1:33:22.600 --> 1:33:25.200
<v Speaker 1>spick it in a fit of rage one day. That's

1:33:25.200 --> 1:33:29.240
