1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: All right, glad you with us? Straight down our toll

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: free telephone number. You want to be a part of

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: the program. Wow, this is just breaking Hunter Biden, it's

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: on foxnews dot Com. Agrees to pay monthly child support,

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: ending the stand standoff over contempt. He has agreed to

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: pay monthly child support retroactive to November. Play has plenty

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: of money. Wouldn't be a problem, right, ending a standoff

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: that began after the judge in his Arkansas oppaternity case

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: had ordered him to appear in person for a hearing

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt anyway.

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: The court judge noted that zero experience Hunter paid millions

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: by a gas company for no reason at all except

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: they wanted his name, noted that the exact amount of

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: child support couldn't be determined based off the defendant's income,

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: and that the modifications to the total amount owed every

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: month could be made. And Biden was recently driving a

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: sports car promoting, prompting concerns he was shrinking his child

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: support have it you know, obligations anyway? Glad you're with us?

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, John Bolton write a book. He's writing

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: a book. Did you see this he wrote a book. Well,

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: we just got news that. In fact, Mick mulveney, through

22
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: speaking through his lawyer, pushed back on any report that

23
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: he was involved in any discussion about holding back hundreds

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars an aid to Ukraine, by the way,

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden did in exchange for investigations John Bolton

26
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: never informed Mick mulveney of any concern surrounding Bolton's purported

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: August conversation with the President, as lawyer said in a statement,

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Nor did mister mulvahey ever have a conversation with the

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: President or anyone else indicating that Ukrainian military aid was

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: withheld in exchange for Ukrainian investigation of Barisma, the Biden's

31
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: or the twenty sixteen elect The statement remarked that the

32
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: latest story told from The New York Times, coordinated with

33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: a book launch, has more to do with publicity than

34
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: with any truth. And furthermore, mulvaney is no recollection of

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: any conversation with Rudy Giuliani resembling that reportedly described in

36
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Bolton's manuscript, As it was mulvaney's practice to excuse himself

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: from conversations between the president his personal counsel to preserve

38
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: any attorney client privilege according to his statements. Oh, it

39
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: sounds like, huh, I have to move this to I

40
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: guess the fiction section or whatever, if it even is true.

41
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: I noticed the timing of all these things. The timing

42
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: is amazing. Isn't it a pretty quick written book? Yes,

43
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 1: it only took a few months. If it's coming out

44
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: in Oh, when is it coming out? That would be

45
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: coming out? Oh in March? How convenient. Now, what's amazing

46
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: is if you you know. Look, the only thing I

47
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: would say is every time they think they have Donald's right,

48
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: we got bull and gotta get bolting. There is a

49
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: part of me with fidelity to our constitution, the specific

50
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: ly spelled out roles of the House and the Senate,

51
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: which I find repugnant, that don't seem to filter through

52
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: the brains. And it's so simple. It's not a complicated

53
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: constitutional concept. Number one, executive privileges separate and apart. But

54
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: number two, the sole role of impeachment is the House. Okay,

55
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: they've impeached. They raced through their impeachment. They thought they

56
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: were going to get it from Mueller. They didn't get it.

57
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: From Muller, So why bothering an investigation this time, I'll

58
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: have no investigation. Okay, We'll move forward as fast as

59
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: we humanly can move fast and get this out there

60
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: so we can go on vacation and then hold it back.

61
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: And the sole power to try the case. That power

62
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: constitutionally lie with the United States Senate. It's not the

63
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Senate's role because they have a slam done case. There's

64
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: a rock solid, lock solid case. We got it all

65
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: down here. Okay, they've now been presenting it and it's

66
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: not what they say it is in any way, shape, manner,

67
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: or form. So they know it's weak. So now they're

68
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: trying to desperately get weak Republicans to agree to bring

69
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: in not just witnesses. They can bring in all the

70
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: witnesses that the House used. They can bring in the

71
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: only fact witness, the only non opinion or non hearsay

72
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: witness that would be Ambassador Sonlon and he's gonna say no,

73
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: there's no quit or pro or quo. Now you've got

74
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Mulvedy totally saying no, didn't happen as it relates to

75
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: whatever Bolton is claiming here. President has now come out

76
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: and said I never told John Bolton that the aid

77
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: to Ukraine was tied to the investigation into the Democrats,

78
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: including the bidens. He said, in fact, he never complained

79
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: about this at the time of his very public termination.

80
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell

81
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: a book. And the President said, with that being said,

82
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: the transcripts of my calls with President Zelinski are all

83
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the proof that's needed. In addition to the fact that

84
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: President Zelinski and the Foreign Minister of Ukraine said there

85
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: was never any pressure, no problems whatsoever, and the President

86
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: adding that he believes he did more to protect Ukraine

87
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: than Obama. And he met with Zelinski. Remember that was

88
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be based on conditions until he came out

89
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: with the invitations and then meeting with Zelinski at the

90
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: United Nations Democrats had said. The President didn't meet him there,

91
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: and he did release all the military aid to Ukraine.

92
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: And guess what, there was never any condition, There was

93
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: never any announcement, there was never any talk of any investigation.

94
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: So in other words, well, what are we now going

95
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: to say, Well, the president he maybe let's say Bolton

96
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: has a memory where the President was frustrated and annoyed.

97
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: They need to look into this. I've been arguing myself,

98
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: if I guess I'm a loan voice here, that president

99
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: should faithfully execute the laws of the land. And I

100
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: would argue what Joe Biden is on tape saying, you're

101
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: not getting the billion unless you fire a Ukrainian prosecutor.

102
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: Stop and think about why why would any vice president

103
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: want a Ukrainian prosecutor fired when we now find out

104
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: Joe knew quid pro quo, Joe knew that that prosecutor

105
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: was investigating his zero experience, no experience in Ukraine, oil, energy,

106
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: of gas, whatsoever. Millions of millions of dollars. I mean,

107
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: it makes no sense. So if they did investigate it,

108
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: to me, that would be faithfully executing the laws of

109
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: the land. Now let's say the president thought for a minute,

110
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna kill that person. I'm gonna

111
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: kill that idiot. Oh you speak and you say I'm

112
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna kill that person. Do you kill them? No, you're

113
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: not guilty of murder. What are we now gonna our

114
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: thoughts crimes? Now? According to this new politically correct world

115
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: we live in, and if they want to look I

116
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: am so against this idea that the Senate take on

117
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: the constitutional role of the House. But I guess there's

118
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: gonna be some weak Senate Republicans. Maybe some of you

119
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: would want to call them, you know who they are,

120
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: and maybe say it's not your role constitutionally to do

121
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: their job. Now they're acting like this is a big

122
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: bomb show Bolton's book. Okay, the problem is it's a

123
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: New York Times story. How often did this New York

124
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Times get things wrong? Well, Maggie Haberman, June twenty nine,

125
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, they had to issue a correction to a

126
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: report that said seventeen intel agencies agreed on Russian actions

127
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: during the election. Times published that story June twenty fifth.

128
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, the Time story originally included the

129
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: following line the latest presidential tweets for proof to dimade

130
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: members of the Trump Party that he still refuses to

131
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: acknowledge a basic factor agreed upon by seventeen American intelligence agencies,

132
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: that he now oversees that Russia orchestrated the attacks and

133
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: it did it to help him get elected. Well, the

134
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: figure was not accurate. Whoop see daisy. And even finally,

135
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: the New York Times mentioned the dirty Clinton dossier unverifiable

136
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: was likely Russian disinformation from the Get Go and Go

137
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: through the March second, twenty eighteen New York Times major

138
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: correction to an accounting error and a piece about Trump's

139
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: tax plan. Whoop see daisy, Oh, that's not good. They

140
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of these corrections at the New York Times.

141
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: The January sixth hacking assessment was a conclusion drawn by

142
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: analysts representing etc. Etc. And we have the We have

143
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: plenty of more examples of The New York Times getting

144
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: it wrong. I just don't have the time to get

145
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: into it all. So doubts are growing over the accuracy

146
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: of this entire report. You know it's the New York Times.

147
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: Number one, never trust fake news organizations. Two, The Times

148
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: bases their so called bombshells story on the very same

149
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: kind of oh secondhand, anonymous sourcing that they used for

150
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: all their other articles that they've gotten wrong with the

151
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: fake news. Third, we don't have Bolton on record here

152
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: anywhere saying any of this to anybody in the White House.

153
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Quite to the contrary. What we've been hearing all day

154
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: is everybody's saying I never heard it. And in a

155
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: sub headline on this story, the Time itself describes the

156
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: source materials, which again they haven't seen for themselves, as

157
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: drafts of the book. A draft of a book is

158
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: at best a preliminary transcript, which is the subject to

159
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: probably editing and changing, especially after the book is vetted

160
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: for accuracy and legal liability. And Bolton's lawyer was asked

161
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: today to confirm the accuracy of the Times report and

162
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: he you refuse to do so anyway, Bolton attorney, Charles Cooper,

163
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: stopped short of confirming the contents of the report. Whoopsie

164
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: Day is the fifth The Justice Department has now contradicted

165
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: a key claim in the so called Bolton Book, and

166
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: the books states Bolton called Barr after Trump's July twenty

167
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: fifth phone call with Solinski in order to raise concerns

168
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: about Julianni and informed the Attorney General the president and

169
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: mentioned him on the call on Sunday night. Senior Department

170
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: of Justice official disputed what Bolton is saying here. All right,

171
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: so that's not one, that's two. You know. Now we

172
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: get into the issue. Okay, well, what did the president

173
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: do wrong here? Well we have the Jordan four think

174
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: about this. It doesn't matter what the president thought. Well,

175
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, okay, I'm going to kill you. Okay, did

176
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: you kill the person? No, he's sitting right there. Okay,

177
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: I thought about it, but I didn't do it. Well,

178
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: what do we know? The four facts never change. The

179
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: President released not one, but two transcripts voluntarily. There was

180
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: no mention of AID on any of those in any

181
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: of those conversations. There was no quid or pro or

182
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: quo like Joe. The two individuals on the call, President

183
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: Trump and President Zelenski, and the Foreign Minister of Ukraine

184
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: all repeatedly saying there was no pushing, there was no pressure.

185
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: There was no linkage between the security assistance dollars and

186
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: any type of investigation by anybody in Ukraine. And of

187
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: course the Ukrainians didn't even know at the time of

188
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: the call that AID was being held up, and by

189
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: the way, it was given to them in full early

190
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: they took. And the most important part of it is

191
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: what happened. They got the aid. What did they do

192
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: for the aid? Nothing? What did they promised to do

193
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: for the aid? Nothing? They never started an investigation and

194
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: they got the aid. They never promised to start an investigation.

195
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: They got the aid. Those facts will never change now

196
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: after the phone. I'll add this, there were five high

197
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: profile meetings between the United States and President Zolensky in Ukraine,

198
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: including with the Vice President at not one of those

199
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: conversations was AID ever brought up. The transcript shows clearly

200
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: the President didn't condition anything any security assistance on any

201
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: meeting or them doing anything. One the President Zelenski and

202
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: other Ukrainian officials, they said there was no quid pro quo,

203
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: no pressure on them at all. Ever, and Zolensky number three,

204
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: the high ranking Ukrainian officials didn't even know about the

205
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: AID not being there. And fourth, with all this noise

206
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: in the mob and the median lying in the Schumer

207
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: shift sham show, not a single witness ever testified that

208
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: the President himself said there was any connection between any

209
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: investigation or security assistance. And even if he did, they

210
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: still did nothing. They still promised nothing, and the security

211
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: assistance flowed and it flowed to Ukraine and they got

212
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: the money and they got it early. If there were

213
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: any quid pro quo, it failed. It didn't happen, And

214
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: nobody's saying it happened. No person that is a part

215
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: of what it is half says it happens. So this

216
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: idea that this is a big development is another lie

217
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: by your medium mob. This is who they are, This

218
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: is what they do. This is why we have an

219
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: information crisis and so called journalism, Maggie Haberman, by you

220
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: and by your you know, New York Times state democratic socialist,

221
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: radical newspaper is dead because nobody trusts you, and nobody

222
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,239
Speaker 1: should trust you. You got everything wrong with Trump Russia.

223
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: Now you're getting everything wrong here, and you missed the

224
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: biggest story of your career, which is the abuse of power,

225
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: Faiza abuse and the dirty dossier that Hillary Clinton paid for.

226
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: All right, as we roll along eight hundred and nine, Sean,

227
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of this extravaganza. You know,

228
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: it's just one big It is this incestuous medium mob.

229
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: There's nexus between them and the democratic radical extreme socialists.

230
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: It really takes your breath away, you know. And now

231
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm watching our senators and I'm like, oh, here we

232
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: go again. You know, I don't understand why some would

233
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: take on the role of doing the constitutional duty of

234
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: the House. I don't really understand that. Now I know

235
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: that we've had met Romney saying, well, I think now

236
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: maybe this opens it up for wit Why why would

237
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: this open it up for witnesses? The President's team destroyed

238
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: them all day to day and all day on Saturday,

239
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: you know. Oh, and to get insulted by the likes

240
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: of the congenital liar who's compromised. Oh yeah, Trump would

241
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: have your heads on pikes. Really if you voted against them. Well,

242
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: I kind of ticked off Lisa Murkowski, and I know

243
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of these swing moderates and they're now getting incense,

244
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: and rightly so by all of this and the fascist

245
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: that said this, and I think Jonathan Turley rightly pointed out,

246
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to you don't want to

247
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: make a jury or insult the jury. And that's exactly

248
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: what Nadler did when he accused all those senators the

249
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: jury of being involved in a cover up. Wow. And

250
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: by the way, the irony, most of the House impeachment

251
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: managers voted against any aid for Ukraine. The President gave

252
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: it to him, and they did nothing. Wouldn't say they'd

253
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: do anything either, and they didn't do anything. All right,

254
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour, eight hundred

255
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: and ninety four one, Sean, you want to be a

256
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: part of the program. I guess it's just I can't.

257
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: It's very frustrating to see. I don't know what it is.

258
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: Something happens to candidates when they run for president and

259
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: they lose. I've I've witnessed this my entire career. I

260
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: guess you could look at al Gore. Al Gore, you know,

261
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: we had swinging, hanging, nimble, pimple dented chads and George W.

262
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: Bush wins the election and he lost his mind, meaning

263
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: al Gore couldn't couldn't handle it. Hillary same thing. I mean,

264
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Hillary has come up with more excuses for losing in

265
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Now she's even launching a I Love Hillary.

266
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't know a movie or series or whatever. Inar Rapids.

267
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: I've seen it before. I thought John McCain took it

268
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: really personally, and I think the reason is I'm not

269
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: a psychiatrist or playing one on TV either. I think

270
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: the real reason is is that it's it's hard to lose.

271
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: It's hard, and I've watched candidates over the years and

272
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: they're right there. And I thought Mitt Romney really had

273
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: a shot. I think by the third debate it was over.

274
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: I was I remember making phone calls, what are you

275
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: guys doing? This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen

276
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: they took. They just decided to go in and phone

277
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: it in the last debate, and they didn't want to

278
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: stay aggressive. And you need to be aggressive or else

279
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win. And for whatever reason, all the

280
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: things that Donald Trump is doing, or all the things

281
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: that meant Romney had he won pretty much said he

282
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: was gonna do. I understand that he doesn't like the

283
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: style of Donald Trump. That's fair, and I know he

284
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: said all the things that he has said, but it's

285
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: not something in dispute that Donald Trump, who spoke as

286
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: the first president of a pro life rally, Donald Trump,

287
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: who's ended more burdensome bureaucracy than any president in the

288
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: last hundred years. And yes, and total dollars, the biggest

289
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: tax cut in history. And then we got the promises,

290
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: new trade deals with China, new trade deal with Japan

291
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: and Mexico, Canada, Western European allies were now energy independent

292
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: for the first time in seventy five years. Eight million

293
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: new jobs created, eight million fewer Americans in poverty, well

294
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: actually more, but a million fewer on food stamps. I

295
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: mean every demographic in our country at the engine of

296
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: this economy is just humming along. China deal is particularly impressive.

297
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: Helps out you know, two hundred and twenty billion in

298
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: two years, two and twenty billion bucks. That's going to

299
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: go to American farmers, American service industries, it's going to

300
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: go to American manufacturers, the energy sector, and our car manufacturers. Huge.

301
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: That means great, long term paying jobs for our fellow Americans.

302
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: How great is that? But it's just in spite of

303
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: all of that, Mit can't seem to get over. And

304
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: I always liked him personally. I thought he had a

305
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: lovely family. I get his style as not Donald Trump's.

306
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: He tried to be nice, and they still called him

307
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: a sexist and a misogynist. They still went after all,

308
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: he cut up some kid's hair when he was in

309
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 1: boarding school, you know, forty five years ago. They were

310
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: they were just out to destroy him somehow. I guess

311
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: people just forget. You know, we had but for John McCain,

312
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, we we we had healthcare done, could have

313
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: gotten done. He was pretty angry. Donald Trump didn't like

314
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And unfortunately that now that now matters because

315
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: if you have three Republicans saying, oh yeah, not just

316
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: the witnesses that testified in the you know, after the audition,

317
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: witnesses behind closed doors. We still have information I'd like

318
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: to get out of them. But then now they're talking

319
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: about new witnesses. I guess if we're gonna have witnesses,

320
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: if you're gonna force this on us, I guess then

321
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: the Republicans better have their list ready because that means

322
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Quid pro Quo, Joe Zero, exp Arians Hunter

323
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: needs to be called. Why because the President okay, did

324
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: mention their names. Now they got the money. They never

325
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: promised to do anything. President didn't ask them to do anything.

326
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: But they have to be brought in now because we

327
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: need to understand if the President was faithfully executing. Because

328
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: I think it's a slam dunk case that both Quid

329
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: and pro and Quoe and Joe and Hunter were involved

330
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: in a pretty corrupt enterprise here. Wouldn't surprise me at

331
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: all if a lot of laws were broken, and we've

332
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: had a lot of lawyers on this program and on Hannity,

333
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: I'd say, yep, they did. You know, now we're hearing

334
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: that the brother of a key shift impeachment witness. I've

335
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: not confirmed this myself, but it was on Breitbart and

336
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: other places today. I got it right here somewhere that,

337
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: in fact, I guess a source close to the Trump

338
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: administration is telling Brightbart Again, I have not corroborated this.

339
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: That Army Lieutenant Colonel Vimman, ethics lawyer for the NSC,

340
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: may maybe may have some influence over the reviewing of publications.

341
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: That'll be interesting to find out if that's true. There's

342
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: other doubts that are emerging in terms of the accuracy

343
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: of The New York Times, their big bombshell, you know,

344
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: but this is what we've gotten for three years. Oh

345
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: my gosh, we got him breathless reporting this hysteria. Watching

346
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: this unfold, I'm nonplussed by any of it doesn't mean

347
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: a thing already. It's getting contradicted left and right by

348
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: the other people that would have known. And there's no

349
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: official record of him as having done any of this.

350
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: I'm not sure John Bolton is doing except writing a

351
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: book here anyway. The New York Times charter member of

352
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: the same fake news industry media that spread lies for

353
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: three long years, breathlessly reporting one lie after another, and

354
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: in some cases like the Times in the Post actually

355
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: getting Pulitzer prizes for it. Okay, So if Susan Collins

356
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: and Mitt Romney, if they want witnesses, okay, they're gonna

357
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: bring in Joe and Hunter. Are they gonna bring in

358
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff because he's compromised, he's light in this case,

359
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: and the contact that took place with his office, people

360
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: that work in his office, I'd say, we need to

361
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: talk to the hearsay whistleblower. There was a report out

362
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: last week that the non whistleblower heresay whistleblower had in

363
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: fact been talking just two weeks into the Trump presidency

364
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: as an Obama holdover about getting rid of Trump. That

365
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: might be pertinent. White House literally questions, you know, look

366
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: at the timing of this whole thing here. Do you

367
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: think this by accident? The defense team slaughtered them over

368
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: the weekend. It was a devastating takedown of every argument

369
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: that they had. Nobody in the media I see is

370
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: really looking at a guy like Joe Manson. This is

371
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: getting pretty interesting because he's now indicating that he's open

372
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: to the arguments from the president's defense team in this trial,

373
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: and after an abrieviated session on Saturday, in which the

374
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: president's defense lawyers presented a preview of their case, which

375
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: then had going through at this moment they're resuming now today.

376
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: One thing that stuck in my mind as they said,

377
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: there isn't a witness that they have had so far

378
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: that had direct contact with the president. The only one

379
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: that talked to him was that would be Ambassador Sonlin.

380
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: And again, the facts never change. Ever in this case,

381
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: it would be such you know, and I know that

382
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: Peter Schweitzer was on with the Great One last night,

383
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: and you know, it would be an outrage if the

384
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Trump family if they did. If you had Donald Trump,

385
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: vice president, saying you're not getting the billion unless you

386
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: fire the prosecutor who was investigating my son zero experienced

387
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: don who's being paid millions for zero experience. It's called

388
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: buying access. I don't think that's that hard to figure out.

389
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Or the fact that the president was interested in Ukraine.

390
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: This is all separate and apart left, the left, the media.

391
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: What have you think that conservatives are saying. They're saying

392
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: Ukraine interfered and it wasn't Russia in the elections. No,

393
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying both did. And I've been saying had we

394
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: listened to Devin Newness in twenty fourteen that the Russians

395
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: were going to interfere, well, we could have prevented a

396
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: lot of it. And of course the biggest interference. Even

397
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: the New York Times, two and a half years behind

398
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: us on this show, discovered it was likely the dirty

399
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: Clinton dossier, Russian disinformation from the get go, and the

400
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: Ukrainian court determined yep, Ukraine interfered in America's twenty sixteen election.

401
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: To hell Hillory. Look at the political article one eleven,

402
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, January eleventh, just before Donald Trump is sworn

403
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: in the inauguration headline, Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire.

404
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: He have officials are scrambling to make amends with the

405
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: president elect. That would be Trump up after quietly working

406
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: to boost Clinton. This is a foreign country admitting election

407
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: interference in their own court. They determined it President Petro

408
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: Porashenko's administration with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington. We now

409
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: the piece goes on, Donald Trump wasn't the only presidential

410
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former

411
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: Soviet block country. Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary

412
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: Clinton and undermined Donald Trump by publicly questioning his fitness

413
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump

414
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: aide in corruption, suggesting they were investigating the matter, only

415
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: to back away after the election, and they helped Clinton's

416
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: allies research damaging information on Trump and as advisors. A

417
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: Politico investigation found wow foreign election interference. A Ukrainian American

418
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: operative who was a consultant for the DNC met with

419
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: officials at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort

420
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: to expose ties between Trump top campaign aide Paul Manaford,

421
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: and Russia. According to people with direct knowledge of the situation,

422
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping

423
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: to force Manafort's resignation, advancing the narrative that the Trump

424
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine's foe to the east, Russia,

425
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: but they were far less concerted, essentially directed than Russia's

426
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: hack blah blah blah. Oh, so the President had a

427
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: right to say to Zelinski on that call, I'm worried

428
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: the people that you're hanging out with. They bothered me

429
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. Seem to be hanging out with the

430
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: same people as your predecessor. You know, you probably notice

431
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: a pattern with the mob at the media. It always said,

432
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you got him, We gotta gotta Then

433
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: the facts come out they don't got him. It is

434
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: an amazing thing to withhold every day. Now we're hearing

435
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: a warning to the president's legal defense. Democrats are actually

436
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: concealing exculpatory information testimony of a major witness that the

437
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: House question during their audition hearings, and that is into

438
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian matter. At least one Republican president during Michael

439
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: Atkinson's testimony is saying the reason the Democrats and not

440
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: sharing that information with we the people is because it

441
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: does not advance Adam Shift, the Congenital Compromise liars impeachment

442
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: case against the President John Ratcliffe. The reason it hasn't

443
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: been released it's not helpful to Adam Shift, and it's

444
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: not helpful to the whistleblower hearsay whistle blower non whistleblower. Wow,

445
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: amazing things there. You know, what do we know? Let's

446
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: get to what we know. Well, Donald Trump might have

447
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: said something that he thought about I'm not giving the

448
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: money until they do this, this and this. Okay, he

449
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: thought about let's say, let's say he did for this,

450
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: say he expressed that thought. Okay, did he do anything?

451
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: The facts that never change, or this we have the transcript.

452
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: Aid was never mentioned, not once now, no quit or

453
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: pro or quote in the transcript. Ever, the two individuals President,

454
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: President Zelenski and the Foreign Minister of Ukraine over and

455
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: over and over. We never felt any pressure. There was

456
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: never any linkage between the security as system dollars and

457
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: the type of investigation in Ukraine. Maybe we're able to

458
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: bring Zelenski over to testify in this the Schumer shift

459
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: sham show. You know, the Ukrainians didn't even know at

460
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: the time of the call AID had been held up,

461
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: but was eventually paid and paid in full and paid early.

462
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: And guess what the most important thing, what did they

463
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: do to get the AID money? Nothing? Nothing, So if

464
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: the president did talk about it, as John Bolton's book

465
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: may or may not say, who knows, they took no action,

466
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: none whatsoever. They never started an investigation, nor did they

467
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: announce they were going to start an investigation, and nor

468
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: did they ever promise to start an investigation. And they

469
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: took no action and they got their money. And there

470
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: were five subsequent high level meetings and in all five

471
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: of them, all five, AID was not brought up a

472
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: single time. So why are we here? We here because

473
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: this is pure politics, That's it. I wonder if John

474
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: Bolton remembers the same New York Times in March of

475
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, writing about Yes, John Bolton is really that

476
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: dangerous anyway? John Bolton, the new National Security Advisor or Trump.

477
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: The problem with him or the good thing is is

478
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: he says what he thinks. The bad thing is what

479
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: he thinks. There are a few people more likely than

480
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: mister Bolton to lead the country into war. His election

481
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: is a decision that is as alarming as any Trump

482
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: has made. His selection, along with the nomination of hardline

483
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: CIA director Mike Pompey was Secretary of State, shows the

484
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: degree to which mister Trump is indulging his worst nationalistic instincts.

485
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: Bolton in particular, believes the US can do what it

486
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: wants without regard to international law, treaties, political commitments, and

487
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: previous administrations. He wanted to attack North Korea to neutralize

488
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: the threat, and it goes on from there. I don't know.

489
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Maybe some people think that one day, you know, the

490
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: New York Times will like John Bolton. I don't think so.

491
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so at all. But you know, where

492
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: are we here? We're the same place we were now.

493
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: The Republicans are weak, and they want and they insist

494
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: on bringing in new witnesses and taking on what is

495
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: the soul power in the Constitution of the House. And

496
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: I guess that means Okay, incomes, quid pro quo, Joe incomes,

497
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: zero experience, Hunter paid millions incomes, the congenital compromise, Liar

498
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: Adam shift incomes, the non whistle blower, hearsay whistle blower.

499
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Bring them all in. You guys are going to open

500
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: that door, Fine, open it wide open, because I'm certain

501
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: none of this is going to matter to the president

502
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: because he never he never got a thing, He never

503
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: did a thing. They never promised a thing. Oh well,

504
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,239
Speaker 1: he said he wanted them to. Maybe he did. Are

505
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna now punish people for thoughts. I'm gonna kill

506
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: this guy. Did you kill him? No? Then candidate Trump

507
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: urged the Russians to hack Hillary Clinton's emails. Russians, the

508
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: Russians contacts with the Russians the Russians will do this again. Russians,

509
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: the Russians, Russians, Russians, Russians, Russian interference in our election, Russia, Russians,

510
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: the Russia issued, Vladimir Putins, Russia, Russians, Russians, Russians, Russia.

511
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: For understandable reasons, I attend to view a lot of

512
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: what's happening times through a Russia prison, Russia, Russia's Russians, Russian,

513
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: the Putins, Russia, Russians, Russian, Russians, Russia, Russian government effort

514
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: to help mister Trump, Russian, the Russians, Russian, Russians, Russians, Russian, Russia, Russians, Russians, Russian, Russians,

515
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, Russian, Russian, Russian, systematic interference of the Russians.

516
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: Colonel Vinman said, here, right matters. Here, right matters. I

517
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in

518
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: plain sight. If right doesn't matter, we're lost. If the

519
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: truth doesn't matter, we're lost. We have not spoken directly

520
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: with the whistle blower. We would like to. Right is

521
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: supposed to matter. It's what's made us the greatest nation

522
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: on earth. The Russians offered help. The campaign accepted help,

523
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: the Russians gave help, and the President made full use

524
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: of that help because right matters and the truth matters.

525
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: Otherwise we are lost. I certainly share the view that

526
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: there are parts of the dossier that have been corroborated

527
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: and that seemed credible. Right doesn't matter anymore? All right,

528
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: our two Sean Hannity's show, Yeah, we ran that on

529
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Friday night on Hannity. You know, we have Jim Jordan's

530
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: there are four things, four facts never changed, never will change.

531
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: Then we have Jim Jordan's seven important things that Chiff

532
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: had exactly wrong, which is why we know in this

533
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: case he's compromised. All we'd love to talk to the whistleblower. Yeah,

534
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: you did talk to the whistleblower. Your staff more than

535
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: secret circumstantial evidence of Trump Russia collusion lie. Adam Schiff

536
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,479
Speaker 1: said the new Neez memo was false. Nope, The Inspector General,

537
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: Michael Harowitz said no, it was. He added, exactly right,

538
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: the one that lied to the country, that would be

539
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: the congenital liar shift himself. You can trust the Fiser court,

540
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff told us. Michael Harrowitz said, no, you can't

541
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: They lied to the Fiser Court seventeen times fifty four

542
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: if you add the subsections. Adam Schiff said, we're looking

543
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: forward to hearing from the whistleblower. We haven't spoken with

544
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: the whistle blower. Yes, sorry, I deft must have just

545
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: forgotten my office. You know, had lots of conversations with him.

546
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: Acted like mister ze referred to Zelinsky, when it in

547
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: fact referred to Zlochevsky. The four facts never changed. All right,

548
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: let's look at it through the prism of the big

549
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: Bolton bomb. Show that he might testify. Well, that's if

550
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: the president has the right to executive privilege. Okay, you

551
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: want him, fine, let's get quid pro quote, Joe. Let's

552
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: get Hunter, Let's get the congenital liar shift, Let's get

553
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: the hearsay, non whistleblower, whistleblower. This is what we know.

554
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: Donald Trump willingly handed over the transcript. He handed over

555
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: two transcripts. The idea that we have the transcript of

556
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: the phone call. Zero quid pro quo, like Joe none.

557
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: They never even mentioned aid on the call, not one time.

558
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: And we know that the President and President Zelinski both

559
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: have said and Foreign Minister of Ukraine has said there

560
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: was no pushing, felt, no pressure, no linkage at all

561
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: between security assistance dollars and any type of investigation. At

562
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: the Ukrainians didn't even know at the time of the

563
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: call that the aid had been held. More importantly, they

564
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: took no action. They never started an investigation. They never

565
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: did a thing, They never promised to start an investigation,

566
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: they never announced it. And what did they get. They

567
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: got all the money. They did nothing. They were asked

568
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: to do nothing. The fact that the President may be thinking, oh, Man,

569
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: you know I got the twenty seventeen January eleventh Politico

570
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: and the Ukrainian court saying Ukraine interfered in our elections,

571
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: and Joe saying you're not getting the billion unless you

572
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: fire the prosecutor investigating my zero experience son that's being

573
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: paid millions. I think that would be faithfully executing the

574
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: laws to get to the bottom of that. Anyway, Congressman

575
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, the great state of North Carolina is with us, sir,

576
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: how are you. It's great to be with you, Sean.

577
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: Obviously you may hear a little bit of noise in

578
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: the background because we're actually just off the Senate for

579
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: we're part of this impeachment defense team. So you're bringing

580
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, your listeners in the room where it happens.

581
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: And when we see this, you know you talk about

582
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: Adam Ship telling the truth, Well, he's going to need

583
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: to get injected with truth serum to start telling the truth,

584
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: because each and every day he brings out one more

585
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: false statement, one more accusation, and yet the facts continue

586
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: to mount up on the president side. President needs to

587
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: not only have a vote in the Senate, but it

588
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: needs to be a overwhelming majority of not only all

589
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: the Republicans, but I would say a couple of Democrats

590
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: to come across and finally vindicate the president because the

591
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: factor of supporting what he has told us all along

592
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: is that he didn't do anything for his own personal advantage.

593
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: What do you make of the Bolton book proposal and

594
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: the President tweeting this morning one. I never told John

595
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: Bolton that the aide to Ukraine was tied to investigations

596
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: into Democrats, including the Bidens. In fact, he never complained

597
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: about any of this at the time of his very

598
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: public termination. If John Bolton said this, it would be

599
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: only to sell a book, he said. With that being said,

600
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: transcripts of my calls with President Solinski or all the

601
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: proof it is needed. In addition to the fact that

602
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: President Zlinsky in the Foreign Minister said there was no pressure,

603
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: no problems, and the president added he believed he did

604
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: more to protect Ukraine than Barack Obama. That just happens

605
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: to be a fact. He said, I met with President

606
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: Solinski without any conditions at the UN, Democrats say I

607
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: never met and release the aide to Ukraine without any conditions,

608
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: without any investigation, without any promise of any investigation. So

609
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: I guess, at the end of the day, what's the

610
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: crime here? It might have been annoyed, what well, yeah,

611
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: maybe may be annoyed, but listen, there is no crime here.

612
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: The President's absolutely right. Not only did he not tell

613
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: anybody to link the eight for a political favor, but

614
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: I can tell you it was never communicated. You know,

615
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: when you mentioned about the four facts that never changed

616
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: that Jim Jordan's fox, you know each and every day.

617
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: The other thing that doesn't change is the fact that

618
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: President Zelinsky, the Foreign Minister of Ukraine and others truly

619
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: are in a situation where ultimately we have a best

620
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: witnesses saying that that's not the case, you know, and

621
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: so those best witnesses are those that truly if there

622
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: was leverage to be applied, it would have been to

623
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: the President of Ukraine, and it just didn't happen. It

624
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: never happened. Now the question is we're going to get

625
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: into the sixteen hours of questions. Okay, that'll be let's

626
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: say maybe some today, but certainly tomorrow and the next day.

627
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: That brings us through Wednesday. Then I guess we're going

628
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: to have a debate discussion over witnesses. Now, the sole

629
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: power to impeach rest with the House of Representatives. Constitutionally,

630
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: they said they have a slam dunk case for impeachment,

631
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: all the evidence they need. Okay, now they present their case,

632
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: and there are some Republicans saying, well, we need to

633
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: speak to witnesses that they never even subpoened or called

634
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: or took the time to call. Why would the Senate

635
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: take on the role of the House. Well, it is

636
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: the House's responsibility to use the investigation. We've had seventeen witnesses. Listen,

637
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: this leaking that they did with the John Bolton manuscript.

638
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: By the way, that no one in the media has

639
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: read that the President has denied is right out of

640
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: their playbook. We saw it when we heard from the

641
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: seventeen witnesses. They would go out in leak over and

642
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: over and over again, little bits of information that we're

643
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: contradicted in the room, because I was in the room,

644
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: and yet they wanted to spend a narrative that is

645
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: uniquely the Democrats narrative that suggests that there's some nefarious

646
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: purpose behind the President's actions, and I can tell you

647
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: that that didn't happen. We will continue to push back

648
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: on that as the defense team is actually on the

649
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Senate floor now making a very compelling case on why

650
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: this should be dismissed. Ultimately, you're right, the senators are

651
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: going to grapple with should they have more witnesses? That

652
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: will backfire on my Democrat colleagues. If there's more witnesses,

653
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: we will have the whistle blower, we will have atom Ship,

654
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: we'll have Hunter Biden. And so if they're going to

655
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: do a witness exchange program, this will lengthen it out.

656
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: And where will we be at the end of the day.

657
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: The President will still be vindicated, and truly the votes

658
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: will come in that says he will be acquitted. Does

659
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: this have then become a long protract to fight over

660
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: the issue of executive privilege in your view, well, I

661
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: think it could. I also think that what might happen

662
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: is that they say, well, we want to hear from

663
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: these witnesses, and they do it in a closed session

664
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: with depositions to ask just a few clarifying questions. What

665
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to see is us talking about this

666
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: impeachment four or five months from now. The Democrats need

667
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: to be serious about lowering prescription drug prices, keeping our

668
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: economy going, and fixing roads and bridges, and yet all

669
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: we're talking about is impeachment here on Capitol Hill. It's

670
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: not right, it's not what we should be doing. But

671
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that our Republican senators will stay strong and

672
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: your listeners letting them know that they want to get

673
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: onto other priorities will help them stay strong. Do you

674
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: know anything about the report that exculpatory evidence is being

675
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: held back by House Democrats and apparently related to the

676
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: testimony of Michael Atkinson, the Intelligence Agency inspector General with

677
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: first hand knowledge of the origins of the whistleblower complaint.

678
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: Because I know a mutual friend of ours John Ratcliffe

679
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: has said the reason it hasn't been released is it's

680
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: not helpful to Adam Schiff, it's not helpful to the whistleblower,

681
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: and it raises credibility issues about both of them, and

682
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't advance their agenda. Here Washington Times noting that

683
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: the evidence may be potentially exculpatory. Why are we having

684
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: a hard time getting that information out the This was

685
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: during the audition process of witnesses, right. I think what

686
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: we see over and over and over again is that

687
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: anything that's to the President's advantage has been held back,

688
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: or at least there's been an attempt to hold it

689
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: back by my Democrat colleagues. He saw over the three

690
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: days of them presenting their argument that they failed to

691
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: tell the rest of the story, and the Trump defense

692
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: team of the errated it. There three days of testimonies

693
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: in just two hours of rebuttal. You know, as we

694
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: look at that particular testimony, the biggest thing that we're

695
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: seeing is a back and forth between the coordination efforts

696
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: coming out of the White House with the whistleblower and

697
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: other people that perhaps were involved in that whistleblower com point.

698
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff doesn't want the American people to know that

699
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: that was more orchestrated by his team than perhaps is

700
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: being reported, And because when that comes out, they will

701
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: see this for what it really is, is a partisan

702
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: activity designed to try to affect the twenty twenty election results.

703
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: I think all of that is true. What are the odds?

704
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you're there and you're watching, and

705
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: you're talking to some of these senators. We know what

706
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: they're saying. We know Mitt Romney is now, I guess

707
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: moving in the direction of, oh, we need more witnesses now,

708
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't shouldn't it be limited to the witnesses that the

709
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: House called considering they impeach based on their case if

710
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: there's any need for clarification when you bring in the

711
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: witnesses from there, you know, why do you bring in Moulaity,

712
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: Why do you bring in John Bolton? Well, because if

713
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: you do that, you're right, then we get quit pro

714
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: quo Joe and zero experience, hunter paid millions and chief

715
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: and the non whistle blower heresay whistle blower. Right. Well,

716
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: I think the big, big aspect of that is that

717
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: they want additional witnesses because the Democrats case is so

718
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: weak that's why the Democrats want it. It's they know

719
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: that they've lost this argument with the American people, and

720
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: they've lost it with our Republican senators, and so they say, well, gosh,

721
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: there must be something more here. If we just call

722
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: in enough witnesses, we can perhaps get another bit of

723
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: a sound bite for MSNBC and it will all work

724
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: out to our advantage. That's not the case, and I

725
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: can tell you they will never be satisfied with any witness.

726
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: They will never be satisfied with any witness that comes

727
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: forth to support the president. They will always say, oh,

728
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: for example, m mulvaney came in and said nothing happened. Well,

729
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: of course he did. He worked for the president. And

730
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: so they prop up witnesses that speak against the president.

731
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, this is nothing more

732
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: than politics, and sadly it's politics in a way that

733
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: most Americans, but jet a guy to take a break,

734
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: will come back. We'll have more with Congressman Mark Meadows,

735
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: Great State of North Carolina RT A final moment. Congressman

736
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows. He's part of the president's defense team and

737
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: this impeachment Schumer Schiffsham trial that's going on Okay, so

738
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: it's Monday. Where are we going to be by Friday

739
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: or Saturday this week? By Friday of this week, we

740
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: will have finished not only the defense, but the Q

741
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: and A section. I believe we will not get an

742
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: agreement on additional witnesses, and that we'll have a vote

743
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: to actually acquit the President of the United States from

744
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: this impeachment process and hopefully on to everything else that

745
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: is good and right for our country by Saturday. So

746
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: do you think that Democrats don't want to hear from

747
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 1: Schiff or the whistleblower or Joe Biden or zero experience Hunter.

748
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: They don't want to hear They don't want them to talk,

749
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: of course not. They don't want to hear from any

750
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: Bhundy that might start to undermine their case. And all

751
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: of the people you just mentioned will undermine their case. Uh.

752
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: They're they're more afraid of witnesses coming in that we

753
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: might request than we are witnesses that they want. I mean,

754
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: they've got more exposure to this. If this will backfire

755
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: on them, I promise you it will backfire on them ultimately.

756
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: I don't witnesses being called All right, Congressman Mark Meadows,

757

764
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: to step out of the Senate Chamber. We only have

765
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes to update us. I watched on Saturday,

766
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: and I've been watching today, and the case is overwhelming.

767
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: When do you see this ending? A and B? Where

768
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: do you stand on the Bolton issue? Sure? I mean

769
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: I think listen, my dad addressed that issue right off

770
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: the top. Stay if people were watching, I think he

771
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: said it very clearly. We're going to address the facts

772
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: and the evidence. We're not going to deal with unsourced allegations,

773
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, and in the New York Times and another

774
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: kind of you know, news articles. We're dealing with the

775
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: two articles against the President United States at the House.

776
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: I decided was enough to impeach the president. But let

777
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: me then go to what Ken Stars had to say.

778
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: Judge Starr, who's been through this before has said that

779
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: there's a huge deficiency, a very big problem with these

780
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: two articles of impeachment that when it comes to the president,

781
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: or any impeachment, but especially the president United States is

782
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: elected by the American people, not not to a lifetime

783
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: of appointment like a judge, but too has to be

784
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: re elected. Then should be able to finish out their

785
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 1: term unless the impeachment rises to the serious level of offense.

786
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: He said, you know, you am I saying it always

787
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: has to be crimes to say no, but when it

788
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: comes to president it should. It should why because and

789
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: it should be bipartisan and those two fundamental flaws within

790
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: what the House Democrats did alone should sink these two

791
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 1: articles of impeachment, So so I think that was very clear.

792
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: He then, you know, went into the idea of this

793
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: idea of no due process when it comes to the

794
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: President of the United States and removing him from office

795
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: less than a year before an election. And this was

796
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: this was someone who's been on the other side when

797
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,720
Speaker 1: when he had the power to investigate the president telling

798
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: the House this is not how you do it. You've

799
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: got to be if you're not, if you're not going

800
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: to be bipartisan you should not move forward with the impeachment,

801
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: and you certainly shouldn't have moved forward with articles like

802
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: this which don't allege any kind of criminal conduct and

803
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: don't have any evidence. So that I expect, you know,

804
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a full day today. I don't think

805
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be necessarily like how that House Democratic managers.

806
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: Some of that's based off the Majority leader timing, but

807
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: how they went like late into the night every night

808
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: after night. But but I do expect, though I'm not

809
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure yet, I expect that we will have

810
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: some remarks tomorrow as well. I'm not saying necessarily it's

811
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: going to be another full day, but we have to

812
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: kind of see how things develop today. You know, this

813
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: is our this our first day really of argument. We

814
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: had two hours on Saturday, Sean, you know that was

815
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: This is the first day where it's a Monday and

816
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: the senators are back. They got a little bit of

817
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: a rest after the shift show, um, you know, for

818
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: for three four days and uh, and so we want

819
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: to kind of kind of restart this process. Bring in

820
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: you know, we've got Ken Starr and then others who

821
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: will be presenting some new faces who will be presenting today.

822
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: All right, Jordan's secular part of the president's defense team

823
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: along with his father, Jay Seculo. I thought they had

824
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: an amazing two hours on Saturday and so far good

825
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: all day to day. Thanks for being one of us.

826
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want

827
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. You know, despite

828
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: all these hours and all this repetition, and now let's

829
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: go back to the Muller report and let's bring in

830
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: the opinion witnesses and replay what they said four hundred times.

831
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, people like that believe Donald Trump should have

832
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: been impeached for tweeting out the words fake and news.

833
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: That's how dumb this is. This entire case is based

834
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: on nothing. The whole thing is based on It's been

835
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: based on nothing. There's not been one single witness here

836
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: that has been able to provide any evidence whatsoever that

837
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: the president did anything at all. Not one witness has

838
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: testified that the president asked for investigations to be linked

839
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: to AID which, by the way, and I have made

840
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: this point, maybe one of the few voices that are

841
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: we can hear Joe bragging about a shakedown, leveraging a

842
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: bill you're not getting the billion unless you fire the prosecutor.

843
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: What a vice president wants to fire a prosecutor in Ukraine? Huh? Oh,

844
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: because he's told he's investigating his son with zero experience

845
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: in Ukraine, oil, gas and energy millions of dollars. Oh,

846
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: that to me would be faithfully executing the laws of

847
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: the land. I've been saying it, but as nobody likes

848
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: that argument because they're not using it so far. But

849
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, we have no fact witnesses here. You keep

850
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: going back, you cannot. It's not a single witness ever,

851
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 1: you know, talking about the president linking aid to meet

852
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, either meet with Zealinsky or get the aid

853
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: release to Zelensky. No matter how many times you hear

854
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: and you watch and you read whatever they're saying for

855
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: any given day, it doesn't matter because the facts they

856
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: just remain the same. And all it is is that

857
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: if you look at the facts, if you care about truth,

858
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 1: if you care about defense, well then things don't change.

859
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: The President did nothing wrong. The truth is right before

860
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: your eyes. We have the transcript two of them, because

861
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 1: the president released them acting according to America's national interests.

862
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: He was concerned about corruption, that came out in the call,

863
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: never mentioned AID once during the call. It shows the

864
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: president never conditioned either security assistance or the meeting, in

865
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: spite of everybody's saying, well, he wouldn't meet with the

866
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: guy unless he did these things. No, the President met

867
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: with the guy. And we have the invitations that were

868
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: written to the guy and Zolinsky, the foreign minister. They

869
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: repeatedly said, we never felt any pressure. If we didn't

870
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: even know the aid was held up or delayed at all,

871
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, you got Zolinsky and other high ranking Ukrainian

872
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: officials did not even know. They knew nothing. Not a

873
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: single witness testified the president himself said there was a connection,

874
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: just the opposite. What do you want nothing? No quid

875
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: or pro or quo. Not a single witness testifying that

876
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 1: the President himself said there's a connection. And more importantly,

877
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: they got the money. What did they do for the money? Nothing?

878
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: What did they promised to do to get the money? Nothing?

879
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: You know, how many more times do we have to

880
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: go over the four facts? I add one more a

881
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: fifth that never change, and that is we have the transcript.

882
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: There was never talk of aid. There was no quid

883
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: pro quo in the transcript, no demand for them to

884
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: do anything. You know. Now, we do know, in fact

885
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: that the Ukrainians interfered in the twenty sixteen elections, separate

886
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: and apart from Russia, least according to a Ukrainian court

887
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: and according to Politico. Politico chronicled in depth the amount

888
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 1: of collusion, if you will, coordination between the Trump, the

889
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: Hillary campaign and Ukraine to work to get Donald Trump

890
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: not elected. Yeah, that wasn't Trump, that's Hillary. The same

891
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: people all outraged over potential Trump Russia collusion that never materialized,

892
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: seemed to be you know, totally absent, missing an action

893
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: on this anyway. They we've repeated it over or over

894
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: again that the call we read it, no quit or

895
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: pro or quote. They never discuss AID at no time

896
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: did they discuss aid. President Trump, President Zelinsky, the foreign

897
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 1: minister all say no pushing, no pressure, no linkage between

898
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: security dollars and any investigation into Ukraine. Ukraines, Ukrainians didn't

899
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: even know that aid was delayed at all. Now more importantly,

900
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: they actually got the money. Now, did they start an investigation?

901
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: No ever? Did they promise to start an investigation? No? Never.

902
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: And there were five other high profile meetings even including

903
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: with the Vice president, and in those conversations, people that

904
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 1: were there all said aid was never discussed. What else

905
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: do we need here? Well, John Bolton, he may say

906
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,479
Speaker 1: it in his new book, say what. The transcripts speak

907
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: for themselves. We know the meetings afterwards, they speak for themselves.

908
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: Zolenski speaks for himself. The Foreign minister speaks for himself.

909
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: You know. The funny thing is watching these congressmen. They

910
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: didn't even want Ukraine to get the aid that Donald

911
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: Trump gave them. Pretty amazing to our phones, we go,

912
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: let's say hi to John and California. John High, How

913
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: are you welcome to the program? How are you good?

914
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: That's going on? Well, a lot of this um starting

915
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: with the impeachment managers saying, well, we've given Donald Trump

916
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: enough chances to prove his innocence, and so that's assuming

917
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: guilty until proven innocent, which is not our justice system.

918
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: And the blatant line that's been going on, I mean,

919
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: just throwing it out there, throwing it out there, throwing

920
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: it out there. I can't believe that there aren't ethics violations,

921
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: just you know, being treaded here because a lot of

922
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: these people are attorneys, and there's there's attorneys have ethics,

923
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: and then as a congress person you have ethics as well.

924
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: So there's this rapid crazy ethics violations going on in

925
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: my mind, and I just I don't know how that

926
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: can just continue without some checks and balance. And somebody say,

927
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: rein it in, guys, because you're out of control here,

928
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Listen, I've got to tell

929
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: you it is this, This is the swamp. This has

930
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: been there. Their three year mission. They tried to first

931
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: influence the outcome of an election cheating. There was Russian interference.

932
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: Stevin Nunez warned to be Russian interference. Nobody listened in

933
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: the Biden Obama years to prevent it from happening. But

934
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: also now we know, if the New York Times got

935
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,919
Speaker 1: any one thing right, Hillary's dirty, unverifiable dossier was likely

936
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: Russian misinformation from the get go. Now Russia was putting out,

937
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, stories about Donald Trump and hookers that are rich,

938
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: Carlton and Moscow urinating on his bed. I think sounds

939
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: like to me that Putin and whoever from Russia gave

940
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: that disinformation that Hillary paid for, probably didn't want Donald

941
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: Trump to win. I think we can figure that out too.

942
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: It's the truth does not matter to them. That's why

943
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: to get lectured by the congenital liar on truth truth.

944
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, mirror, please look anyway. Thank you, John,

945
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Saying hi to Randy and Nebraska. Randy, how

946
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: are you glad you called? Sir? God good Sean? How

947
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: you doing? Oh? Good man? What's going on? Hey? I

948
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: just had a comment to make about the impeachment trial.

949
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: I watch a show every night, and the other night

950
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: you had Alan Dershaw, what's on there? And somebody asked,

951
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: why don't they object to the statements that Adam Shift's making?

952
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: And well they can, which led me to the next

953
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: thing is on your show every night you'll have your

954
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: little montage of Adam Shift in his lying and spewing

955
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: the facts that are totally wrong. And it's like, I

956
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: would love to see your crew because I know they

957
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: do a great job. Put together the Adam Shift lying

958
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: show along with the Democrats the crime for impeachment that started,

959
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, nineteen minutes after he was sworn into office.

960
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: Put that in there and show that I have done it.

961
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: We've done everything. We've laid out the timeline through twenty sixteen,

962
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: through all through twenty seventeen, all through twenty eighteen, all

963
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 1: through twenty nineteen. Impeach, impeach, impeach. I mean, honestly, I

964
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: could run it probably a full hour if you wanted.

965
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: I try to make the case efficiently, but also leave

966
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: time for some other content in the show. Anyway, I

967
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: gotta roll. But you're making good points. We're all over it.

968
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: If anybody wants the truth, we're giving the truth. If

969
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: anyone wants to believe the congenital liar, I guess you can.

970
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: But how many more times do you want to be

971
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: lied to? All Right? We got time for one more

972
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: quick call here the great state of Oregon. Kelly, you

973
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: get the final minute this hour that our news round

974
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: up with Carter Page coming up. Hey, Sean, how's it going.

975
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm good, sir. How are you? I'm doing all right.

976
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm out here in liberal country, Oregon. But there's quite

977
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: a few of US supporters more than they like to advertise.

978
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out here that you respect,

979
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: appreciate what the president's doing. That's great to talk about.

980
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: Wanted to ask how want people start looking at the

981
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: motives of some of these some of the I mean,

982
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: everybody knows, even on the Democrats side, this impeachment to Sham.

983
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: I want people to look into like it's it's blatantly

984
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: obvious Chuck Schumer's only gunning for those four seats in

985
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: the Senate. It's blatantly obvious that Nancy Pelosi is trying

986
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 1: to obviously protect your son Paoploki, which we haven't even

987
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: gotten into yet. I can't wait until that breaks open.

988
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: There's other people that's had on boards and other companies

989
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: that are reaping the benefits. And I feel like this

990
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: Fiser release is just the chip of the iceberg. I

991
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: think there's so much corruption going on, and like Donald

992
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: Tump said, he's coming in to stir up the nest.

993
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: And when you stir up the nest, what happens. The

994
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: ornates get pissed off, starts singing back, and I think

995
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: that's Look, this is what draining the swamp looks like.

996
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: And let me tell you the swamp creatures. You know

997
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: now that the swampy water is getting drained out, and

998
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: you know they're coming out of the deep, dark crevices

999
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: and the dark muddy areas. It's pretty ugly to see

1000
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: how hard they're going to fight to maintain this swamp

1001
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: just the way they want it. And let me tell

1002
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: you what it all comes down to. I'll break it

1003
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: down to his brass tacks here, and that is they

1004
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: want the power. They don't care that their plans screwed

1005
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: everybody over the last eight years of Biden Obama. They

1006
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: just want to go back to those days and double

1007
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: down on stupid now. They want the New Green Deal

1008
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: at ninety four trillion and Medicare for all at night

1009
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: at fifty two trillion. It's a lot of stake in

1010
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: two and eighty one days. But you're the ultimate ultimate

1011
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: jury and you can shock the world again. Quick break

1012
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Carter page reacts. Yep, it's now been vindicated. Even further,

1013
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: our reporting has been vindicated. That next straight ahead. Stay

1014
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: right here for our final news round up and information overload.

1015
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: On December seventeenth, twenty nineteen, the FISA Court issued a

1016
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: scathing order in response to the Justice Department Inspector General's

1017
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: report on FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation into whether or not

1018
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign was coordinating with Russia. We already know

1019
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: the conclusion that report detailed. The FBI's pattern of practice,

1020
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: systematic abuses of obtaining surveillance order requests, and the process

1021
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: they utilize in its order. This is the order from

1022
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: the court. I'm going to read it. This order responds

1023
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: to reports that personnel of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

1024
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: provided false information to the National Security Division of the

1025
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Department of Justice and withheld material information from the NSD

1026
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: which was detrimental to the FBI's case in connection with

1027
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: four applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. When the

1028
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: FBI personnel misled NSD in the ways that are described

1029
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: in these reports, they equally misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

1030
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: This order has been followed up. There's been another order.

1031
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: It was declassified just a couple of days ago. Fakes

1032
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: in large part, the Court said to the Office of

1033
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: Inspector General US Department of Justice, the Court has received

1034
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: notice of material misstatements and omissions in applications filed by

1035
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: the government in the above cap and documents. DJ assesses

1036
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: that with respect to the applications, and it lists two

1037
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: specific docket numbers seventeen three seventy five and seventeen six

1038
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: seventy nine. If not earlier, there was not there was

1039
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: insufficient predication to establish probable cause to believe that Carter

1040
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power.

1041
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: The President had reason to be concerned about the information

1042
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: he was being provided. Now could we could ignore this,

1043
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: We could make believe this did not happen, but it did.

1044
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Among the most important are the requirements in FBI policy

1045
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: that every PHISA application must contain a quote full and

1046
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: accurate close quote presentation of the facts, and that agents

1047
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: must ensure that all factual statements in PHISA applications are

1048
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: quote scrupulously accurate close quote. These are the standards for

1049
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: all PHISA applications, regardless of the investigation sensitivity, regardless, I'm sorry,

1050
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: and it is incumbent upon the FBI to meet them

1051
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: in every application. Nevertheless, we found that investigators failed to

1052
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: meet their basic obligations of ensuring that the FISA applications

1053
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: were scrupulous scrupulously accurate. We identified significant inaccuracies and omissions

1054
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,439
Speaker 1: in each of the four applications, seven in the first

1055
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: application and a total of seventeen by the final renewal application.

1056
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: Did you have total confidence in adoptation? We used it

1057
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: to secure survenemance. Weren't also in the subsequent renewal, a

1058
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: total confidence that the Fizer process was followed and that

1059
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way

1060
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: by DOJ and the FBI. I think the notion that

1061
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: Fiser was abused here is no nonsense. Not quite because

1062
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: last week's big bombshell, of course the mob and the

1063
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,479
Speaker 1: media would never want a report, is that, in fact

1064
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: the DOJ said it was abused. Everything we've been telling you,

1065
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: the dirty dossier, the bulk of information, and all four

1066
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: fives the application warrants, Well now they're saying at least

1067
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: two numbers three and four Comey signed one of those

1068
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: two was likely illegal on every level and shouldn't have

1069
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: been issued. And now there's a full top to bottom,

1070
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, you know, investigation as to what's going to

1071
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: happen from here, because the Inspector General report has said it,

1072
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: and now others lived through it. One person had lived

1073
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: for a year being spied on illegally because people had

1074
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: a political agenda. That's Carter Paige, who joins US now

1075
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: former Trump campaign associate. How are you, sir, I'm doing great,

1076
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: Sean like it's like it now. By the way, I

1077
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: can also now introduce you as former CIA operative. Well,

1078
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: unfortunately that's been disclosed by uh, you know, really some

1079
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: after some really dirty acts. So it's unfortunate, but I yes,

1080
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: it's it's now a matter of the public records you

1081
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: as you figured out through your great investigative journalism beforehand.

1082
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: So yes, well let's talk about your reaction to the

1083
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: announcement by the DOJ. That's an admission of guilt. That's

1084
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: an admission that what we said about the bulk of

1085
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: the FISA applications being a non verifiable dirty dossier that

1086
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Hillary paid for. That means that they were legally spying

1087
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: on you. But you basically became a conduit into all

1088
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: things Trump world because once they get a FISA application

1089
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 1: on you, well, that means they have the ability to

1090
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: go back right through every email you've written, every phone

1091
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: call you've made, every text message you sent or received,

1092
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 1: so that I actually think you many ways you were

1093
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: being used the entire time. Now they're admitting to it.

1094
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: First your thoughts about it, and secondly, I know what

1095
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: I do, I'd be suing everybody. Well, Sean, I think

1096
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: that court filing from last week that you talk that

1097
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned in site, it really represents just you know,

1098
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: along the lines of what we've been talking about for

1099
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, another step on the road

1100
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: to recovery for America's really deeply damaged judicial system. And

1101
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: I just hope this is this latest admission of guilt

1102
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: for all these terrible civil rights abuses against the Trump

1103
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: campaign and you know, including myself by the Justice Department.

1104
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:26,439
Speaker 1: Really the marks continued progress towards you know, another step

1105
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: towards justice and really remedying these reputationally ruinous injuries. So

1106
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: it's been pretty incredible, but a lot more to come,

1107
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: as you've as you've long done, do you believe as

1108
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: the next step now because the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz,

1109
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: he had a limited purview because he only worked as

1110
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: the Inspector General of the DOJ within the confines of

1111
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: the DOJ and the confines of the FBI, and yet

1112
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: it was a very damning report. He's now referred both

1113
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: Come and McCabe criminal investigations and more importantly, the Attorney General,

1114
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: and we know that John Dorham, the Prosecutor, both said

1115
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: this goes a lot deeper and a lot further than

1116
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: the purview of the Inspector General, and even takes well,

1117
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 1: they disagree. They've said based on an our ability to

1118
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 1: go way outside of the limited area you had in

1119
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: which you could look into this thing, as bad as

1120
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 1: it was, it sounds to me like foreign countries. And

1121
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: this will impact you as well, because if I remember correctly,

1122
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: you were approached by a professor misfit, and as was

1123
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: George Papadopolis and Sam Clovis and others, and that they

1124
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: were they were trying to get information on you over there.

1125
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Now the question is did they outsource spying to circumvent

1126
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 1: American law? Do you have any thoughts on that? Well,

1127
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: the professor it was actually a separate professor. I think

1128
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 1: you cite some important things that happened a few months

1129
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 1: the professor another for professor overseas in England was Professor

1130
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: Helper at Cambridge University in the UK. So yes he did.

1131
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: That's I correct myself, because yes Helper was the Australian

1132
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: that brought up the issue or brought the attention of

1133
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Papadopoulos to authorities, but also going after you and Sam Clovis.

1134
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 1: Of my memory serves me, well you have that right, yes,

1135
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 1: and poor Sam. I mean, if you look at the

1136
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: tumult that it created not only for the president and

1137
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: the candidate he supported, but you know, President Trump eventually

1138
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: nominated him as the Undersecretary of Agriculture, a really top

1139
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: position at the Department of Agriculture, and unfortunately, with all

1140
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: this faith Muller investigation stuff he had in all these

1141
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 1: leaks in the media, he had to step aside. And

1142
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: it was just really a tragic series of events. So

1143
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 1: now that all of this has happened to you, now

1144
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: the question is where do you go from here? Because

1145
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 1: you've been vindicated. I mean, I think probably there was

1146
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: a period of time I didn't really know what to

1147
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,639
Speaker 1: think about you. I was probing and I was asking,

1148
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 1: and I noticed that you would pretty pretty much duck

1149
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: and dodge questions when I asked about what you did

1150
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 1: over in Russia. But then I got you to finally

1151
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: admit that you would come back and you would sit

1152
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: down with and speak to many of our intelligence agents

1153
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: and three letter agencies, and you gave them all sorts

1154
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: of download us to the work we now know you

1155
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: were doing over there, which, by the way, probably put

1156
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: your life at risk somewhat. Yeah, Sean, look, I mean

1157
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: tribute to you on that front, and you now understand

1158
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 1: the reason why I was trying to you know, both

1159
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,560
Speaker 1: for those life threatening problems that it created for me,

1160
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 1: but also just as it was being falsely leaked out

1161
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: to the media, you know, misrepresented in the idea. But

1162
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: in addition, I mean, all the all the hard work

1163
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: you did in terms of getting to the bottom of

1164
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 1: it was really essential. You know. I actually I was

1165
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: flying to UH to go visit with UH, you know,

1166
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: my my big legal team which is working on all

1167
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: this last last night, and I watched the Mike Wallace

1168
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: documentary about you know what he did with sixty minutes,

1169
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: et cetera. And you know, all the challenges in taking

1170
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: taking on authority and everything you did to really dig

1171
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: into this and and push forward to getting towards the

1172
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 1: truth was so much, so much deeper. And I mean, really,

1173
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: how was this impacted your career? Now? I would assume

1174
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: your career UH in the Intel community is now finished, correct, Well,

1175
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean my career on on many levels. I mean

1176
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: that was I was I was serving my country in

1177
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,679
Speaker 1: that context and you know, helping it out in any

1178
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: way I can. But in addition, you know, my my

1179
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: work in the finance industry so many deals I was

1180
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: working on before we're cut off when you know, all

1181
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: the banks didn't want to deal with me anymore with

1182
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 1: these fake media reports pushed by the DNC and their

1183
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 1: consultants and all their terrible operatives like the congenital liar,

1184
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: Adam Shifts, etc. So um and really across the board.

1185
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: I mean, it was, it's been, but I think we're Yeah,

1186
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: would you consider suing Adams Shift? Well, I don't want

1187
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: to get into specifics, uh, in terms of our strategy

1188
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: right now. All I can say, Sean is we're working

1189
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: around the clock this week as we've been working the

1190
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: last several months. Major steps are going forward and uh,

1191
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: I'll plan to tell you about that later this week.

1192
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: So more to more to come. But I mean, specifically,

1193
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: he was telling America a story that was false. Is

1194
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: that not? We now know that to be true. Now

1195
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: he's doing his Ukraine thing. But you know, if we

1196
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: look over Adam Schiff at his track record, he was

1197
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: wrong on pretty much everything. Wasn't he I was? I was.

1198
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: It was crazy. This morning, I just tweeted out a

1199
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: tweet that he I retweeted a tweet that he sent

1200
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: out on July twenty twenty eighteen, saying, falsely saying that

1201
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: the release of the Carter page fives application makes clear

1202
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: once again the FBI acted lawfully and appropriately, and this

1203
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: hasn't stopped the President and Republicans from repeating the same

1204
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: fraudulent talking points in their discredited neunez Meno Sadly, some

1205
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 1: thing's never changed. And I mean it's just, uh, you know,

1206
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 1: why hasn't he deleted that? You know, there's just because

1207
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,759
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason he's lied so many times,

1208
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: he's just been such a congenital liar. You know, it

1209
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 1: would it would be impossible. He has, you know, the

1210
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,679
Speaker 1: last six months on the congressional record, everything that he's done.

1211
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's impossible, h you know, with the impeachment

1212
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 1: hoax and all the all the terrible things beforehand, him

1213
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: and the other DNC operatives, um and you know financial beneficiaries.

1214
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: Do you have a timeline when we might hear about

1215
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: any potential legal action. I think I'll have things to

1216
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: tell you about that later this week. Sean or working

1217
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: very very hard, but you know it's going to be out.

1218
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: Do you deserve it? I mean it, well, for a

1219
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: long time, I think a lot of Americans thought, well,

1220
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:35,759
Speaker 1: they got to be availing this guy for a reason,

1221
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,440
Speaker 1: and it was just the opposite, because you were cooperating

1222
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: with our intelligence community. It began to make sense to

1223
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: me after you spend so little time with Robert Muller

1224
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 1: and then they just left you alone. He never came

1225
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 1: up in their world anymore because they knew the truth,

1226
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: and yet they'd never told anybody the truth. Nobody ever

1227
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 1: went out there to defend you, And there were perceptions

1228
01:14:55,800 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: and lies and thoughts that were created for pure nefarious purposes.

1229
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: And I believe in many ways you were just used

1230
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: as a means of violating as frankly, as a means

1231
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: to spy on a campaign, a transition team and day president.

1232
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,640
Speaker 1: And unfortunately you got caught up in the middle of it,

1233
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: which really is awful for you when it shouldn't have happened,

1234
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: and your civil liberties and constitutional rights were violated and

1235
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: numerous in a multitude of ways. So I mean, it's

1236
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: just it's just too much. Is this too much? The

1237
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: story is just too much, It doesn't make sense, and

1238
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: just make a long story short. Now I'm here in

1239
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:36,640
Speaker 1: the Lakers uniform in Philadelphia, where he's from, where I

1240
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 1: one of the first first time I've ever met him,

1241
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: gave me his shoes. He want to All Star Week.

1242
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: It's just it's surreal. It doesn't make no sense. But

1243
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: the universe, uh just puts things in your life. And

1244
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: when you I guess, when you live in the right

1245
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: way or you just given everything to whatever you're doing,

1246
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 1: things happen organically and it's not supposed to make sense,

1247
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: but it just happens. Kovid, Thank you man, Thank you

1248
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: for all the memories. We got a lot of good

1249
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: ones and these tears that we cry. We're gonna miss you,

1250
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna go. It's not leaving today, a

1251
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: week from now, a month from now, a year from now.

1252
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: We will forever forever miss you. Man. You're a legend,

1253
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: You're our icon, You're our father. You're a husband, your son,

1254
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 1: your brother, your friend. Thank you for being my friend.

1255
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Do you think your daughter might want to play in

1256
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: the w NBA. She does, for sure, she doesn't. It

1257
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 1: means this kid man wouldn't be great. Dude. Man, I'm

1258
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: telling you the best, the best thing, the best thing

1259
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: that happens is when we go out and fans will

1260
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: come up to me and She'll be standing next to

1261
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: me and they'll be like, and you gotta have a

1262
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 1: boy you and v gotta have a boy. Man. You

1263
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: have somebody carry on the tradition, the legacy. She's like,

1264
01:16:54,400 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I got this right, all right. That was

1265
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. The last part was about his daughter, who

1266
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 1: also died in this tragic helicopter crash that took place

1267
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: over the weekend. You know, one of the things I

1268
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: love about sports. I love that the way that athletes

1269
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:22,759
Speaker 1: will push and push and drive and work and sports

1270
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: and you know Super Bowl Sunday is coming up. It's

1271
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: that they mirror life in so many ways. What do

1272
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,560
Speaker 1: you learn in sports? You learn that okay, sometimes not

1273
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: everything's fair, the ref makes a bad call, sometimes people cheat. Sometimes, Uh,

1274
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: you gotta learn you're not gonna win every single time

1275
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: you play every single sport. If you are, then I

1276
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 1: guess you'll be, you know, like Kobe Bryant, because he

1277
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: won a lot his entire career. It's just to watch

1278
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: the gifts that people have. Why do we like to

1279
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: watch sporting events? Because you're watching people that can do

1280
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 1: things that we mere mortals cannot and the talents that

1281
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 1: they've discovered you have to learn to be a gracious loser,

1282
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 1: learned to be a good winner. You learn that the

1283
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 1: harder you work, the better you do. Anyway, thoughts and

1284
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 1: prayers to the whole LA Lakers organization. And it's it's

1285
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: just sad, I mean, just so young. I mean I

1286
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 1: think it's what forty one years old thirteen year old

1287
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: daughter Gianna and was one of the game's more popular players,

1288
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 1: sixteen time MBA champion Lakers. Wow. Cause of the crash

1289
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 1: is unknown. Ap said, I don't know if this impacted

1290
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: the crash aspect of it. That was apparently a pretty

1291
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 1: rugged hillside outside of Los Angeles, foggy conditions some considered

1292
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 1: so dangerous that the local police agencies grounded their choppers

1293
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: and it plunged into a hillside. But we're getting a

1294
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: little bit of conflicting information here. One witness said it

1295
01:18:55,920 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: was falling and spluttering, and I mean, this is this

1296
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: This was like a Rolls Royce helicopter. This was a Sikorski. Uh,

1297
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: this is a real deal helicopter. It wasn't one of

1298
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: those little bubble helicopters that I would never get in myself.

1299
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 1: But um, anyway, there's no, nothing to say except that

1300
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: somebody that gifted that talented so young. Tragic. It shows

1301
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: us how life is just always hanging in the balance,

1302
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Um and the meat. By the way, the media,

1303
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: of course they get it wrong, mangle the whole thing.

1304
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,759
Speaker 1: You know, it's I guess whatever they say, they always

1305
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: get wrong. You can't even get you know, straight news

1306
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:40,560
Speaker 1: even on something like this, you know, immediately reacting the

1307
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: way the reporters react. Um that you know here it

1308
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 1: is nine people died in this terrible crash. They can't

1309
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: they can't wait for the facts to get in. We

1310
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 1: see that happen all the time. It did include his

1311
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: daughter and one of her teammates on her basketball team.

1312
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: Those are the facts. Everything else you hear about the

1313
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 1: victims has been false. Turns out come almost entirely from

1314
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: reporters and mainstream news outlets. Of the journalists who fell

1315
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,559
Speaker 1: down on the job. You know, you have ABC News

1316
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 1: guy Matt Gutman, inexplicably repeating a rumor on the air

1317
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: alleging that he had died in the helicopter crash with

1318
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 1: all four daughters. Okay, well, is his wife listening to

1319
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:24,640
Speaker 1: that report? Maybe just wait and find out if in

1320
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: fact you have the truth. Yet, you know four of

1321
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: his children would believed to be in the helicopter with him,

1322
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: one of them a newborn. Simply devastating. Whoops, Oh sorry,

1323
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: I ran, I ran too quickly. It's he's had an

1324
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:41,719
Speaker 1: amazing life and career and legacy and impact on this game.

1325
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 1: You will forever be remembered. Amazing talent, amazing. We haven't

1326
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: done a lot yet. I'm watching it really closely. But

1327
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: when you see this virus in China, and I know President,

1328
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: she warned, telling Senior shows that China faces a grave situation.

1329
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 1: The death toll there is eighty one two, seven hundred

1330
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: and forty four cases reported. It seems like they got

1331
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 1: in very, very late into recognizing what the coronavirus outbreak

1332
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: was about. The incubation time is quite long. That makes

1333
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: contact tracing even more difficult. Although contact tracing is okay,

1334
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: you have the virus, tell us everybody you've got into

1335
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,679
Speaker 1: contact with, everywhere you've been, if you've been on a plane,

1336
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,560
Speaker 1: if you've been on a plane, everyone now has to

1337
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: be screened that was on that airplane. To shut down

1338
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: Disney in China, to shut down movie theaters, in China

1339
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: is quite alarming. It looks like they're trying to build

1340
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: a new hospital and a day to deal with this.

1341
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: And then the question is, well, how widespread to get

1342
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 1: around the world. We just gotta watch it, We gotta

1343
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: we have to be careful. It's having an impact on

1344
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: the stock market. They got scared by it hitting tourism,

1345
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 1: which is a big part of a lot of people's economies.

1346
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 1: Other countries are now scrambling to evacuate citizens from China.

1347
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: Mongolia has closed its borders with China as a result

1348
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 1: of the virus that's happening. And you got a case

1349
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: in Arizona, one in California. We have the Fox Newtons

1350
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,799
Speaker 1: is now saying five confirmed cases of the new virus

1351
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: in the United States. I do know. We have Anthony

1352
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: Fauci on Hannity tonight to go over this, and so

1353
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: we'll watch monitor. It's not time for anybody to get scared,

1354
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: but you got to pay attention. These things can get

1355
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: out of control very quickly, very dangerous. All right, let's

1356
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: get to our busy phones. Two and eighty one days

1357
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: and you get to shock the world. San Francisco, Tim

1358
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, it really shocked the world. If California went red,

1359
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: that would shock the world. Well, we got a waste

1360
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:54,720
Speaker 1: to go. I'm the only conservative in the city of

1361
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco. But Sean Adam Ship needs to go down.

1362
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 1: This guy needs to be exposed. He needs to be

1363
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 1: politically fileted like the rotten fiicity is, so that all

1364
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: the America can see the rotten maggots running around in

1365
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: his soul. And the problem is that the Democrats are

1366
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: going to do everything they can to circle and protect

1367
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 1: him without witnesses. You know, I want to see Adam

1368
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: Schiff called more than I want to see Hunter or

1369
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 1: Joe Biden called. I think that he this one person

1370
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 1: who's been the most awful, cynically wicked politician in my lifetime,

1371
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 1: my sixty one years. I've seen a lot of them.

1372
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: This guy to be able to bring the country to

1373
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 1: his knees because of his singular, egotistical, maniacal wishes, he

1374
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 1: just needs to be cut to the quick. The problem

1375
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: is about calling witnesses. We can't call him unless we're

1376
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: we agree to call these other people. But this is

1377
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: my point. We have sixteen hours of question and an

1378
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: Now I don't know how this is going to go

1379
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:03,560
Speaker 1: because no one's talked about it, and I don't know

1380
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 1: why no one's talking about it. I mean, as the

1381
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:07,680
Speaker 1: chief Justice, who's been sitting like a bump on the

1382
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: log as a chess timekeeper, is he going to be

1383
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 1: the one handling objections, telling whether or not an answers Germaine,

1384
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: whether it's relevant? Is he going to be that gall

1385
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: if it becomes an executive privilege fight, which it could

1386
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: very well, you know, I'm really torn, and I guess

1387
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be torn if we didn't have some weak Republicans.

1388
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 1: And it gets frustrating, although I do see I know

1389
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 1: that Susan Collins is quite annoyed and angry, even I

1390
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: think would be the right word. Um, I'm not sure.

1391
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 1: I just I really am frustrated by Mitt Romney in

1392
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,680
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. The very things we need to use.

1393
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: We need to use the question and answer period to

1394
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: question Adam Ship because we don't use We can say

1395
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 1: no to witnesses and still use our question and answers.

1396
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: We don't have to subpoena if they want Bolton. If

1397
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: they want Bolton and they want Pompeio and they want Vaney,

1398
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: well that then it's open season. Then then you're gonna

1399
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: have shift have to go under oath or members of

1400
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: his staff that that we're talking to the hearsay Don whistleblower. Whistleblower,

1401
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to you have to then bring

1402
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: in the legitimacy of even mentioning Joe quid pro quo

1403
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 1: Joe and Hunter. And that's a slam dunk case. I'm

1404
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 1: all for bringing that up, every bit of that up,

1405
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: because there is the very thing that they themselves are

1406
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,839
Speaker 1: claiming is so outrageous and they just exonerate the bidens

1407
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:40,560
Speaker 1: for just purely partisan purposes. You know, it's the fundamental

1408
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: lack of fairness, the breathtaking hypocrisy they are willing to

1409
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: take on to advance their psychotic Trump hate Trump rage,

1410
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 1: because that's where all of this ends up. So I

1411
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: guess we'll go everywhere. Here's your answer, Tim, Thank you

1412
01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: eight hundred ninety four one. Sewn you want to be

1413
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,720
Speaker 1: a part of the program, All right, Iowa Caucus is

1414
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: coming Don, Iowa. How are you? What is it next Monday?

1415
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,600
Speaker 1: I believe right? How are you sir? Next one of

1416
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: the yes, very good, Sean, thank you for taking my call.

1417
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 1: I'm forever a listener and very appreciative of everything you do.

1418
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: Thank you. My condolences to the Kobe Bryant family and

1419
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 1: to his daughters and to the whole Lacre nation. I'm

1420
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 1: really in shock. Saved this everybody. But yeah, I mean,

1421
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:30,560
Speaker 1: it's just what it is is. It's sad. It's you know,

1422
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: he's he's literally in the prime of his life, having

1423
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: had the most amazing career, and he just dazzled every

1424
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: arena he ever played in. He he just had that

1425
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:47,320
Speaker 1: extra whatever it is that makes him better than all

1426
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 1: the rest, amazing without a doubt. Um, what I called

1427
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: about was this whole uh, this whole impeachment that's going on.

1428
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 1: Months ago, I remember reading the DNC was out of

1429
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 1: funds they would and once this started, I decided early

1430
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,440
Speaker 1: on that this whole thing is their lack of fundraising,

1431
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:11,959
Speaker 1: that this is their only way to get their political

1432
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 1: faith out to the country because they're using it for

1433
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 1: basically fundraising and to send what limited message they have

1434
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: saying elect us because we're not Trump. That's that's all

1435
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 1: this is. This is all they've ever had. What are

1436
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 1: they going to be able to say they've done in

1437
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 1: the three years Donald Trump has been president. Well, because

1438
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: what is their job? Is their job to hate Trump

1439
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: every second of every day. Now, Okay, I understand the

1440
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 1: game of politics, and you want to beat the other guy.

1441
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: I've always believed that if you keep your promises and

1442
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:45,560
Speaker 1: you make the country more safe and more secure, and

1443
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: you create more prosperity, and you create jobs and opportunities

1444
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: for Americans, I think that's a pretty good platform to

1445
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: get reelected on a right, pretty simple. I'm not a politician,

1446
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: and what I we I have not seen that from

1447
01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: this group of radical, extreme socialist Democrats. I just have

1448
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 1: and we're not going to see it because it doesn't

1449
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,760
Speaker 1: exist in them. That's the sad part. It's it's it

1450
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: is so beyond frustrating to me that this is all

1451
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 1: they ever do. We got an election, the Ultimate Jury

1452
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: in two hundred and eighty one days, and to watch

1453
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: these weak Republicans. I mean, you know, think about what

1454
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,599
Speaker 1: these Republican senators are taking on the end of this here.

1455
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, really, you're going to allow the congenital compromise

1456
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 1: Liar Adam Schiff, you know, oh, you'll get your head

1457
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: on your heads will be on a pike, he says,

1458
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 1: or Trump would have their heads on a pike if

1459
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:47,720
Speaker 1: they don't vote the way the Trump wants them to vote. Well,

1460
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: I hate to tell and inform the ever so ignorant

1461
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 1: liar Schiff. Many have voted against Donald Trump on some

1462
01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 1: important issues. I know Lisa Murkowski, Senator from Alaska. She's

1463
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: ticked off and she has every right to be. And

1464
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't much better, you know, with the fascist comment

1465
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:09,760
Speaker 1: of Jerry Nadler. You know, I think Jonathan Turley's analysis, Yeah,

1466
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,719
Speaker 1: he made a huge mistake. He was talking about Nadler

1467
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: during the impeachment trial. And one thing you teach law

1468
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: students is that when you make arguments to juries, make

1469
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 1: sure you don't insult the jury. That is, don't want

1470
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:27,440
Speaker 1: to make statements that make them feel stupid or ascribe

1471
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:31,600
Speaker 1: any bad motivations to them. And he was referring to

1472
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 1: the moment Nadler accused the Senate of a cover up,

1473
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:37,759
Speaker 1: just like he's calling the president a fascist. The question

1474
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 1: is is whether the Senate will be complicit in the

1475
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 1: President's crimes. Well, that's a little insulting to the jury.

1476
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say yes, absolutely without a doubt. But as

1477
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:52,639
Speaker 1: long as Donald Trump just keeps doing what he's doing

1478
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: in winnings and winning for Americans. We're gonna all be

1479
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:59,479
Speaker 1: fine through this whole thing. It'll go away eventually, hopefully

1480
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 1: maybe by at the end of this week. We'd always

1481
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: hope and pray. Right, all right, Hannity tonight, nine Eastern

1482
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:08,680
Speaker 1: on the Fox News Channel. Loaded up as we have.

1483
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:13,600
Speaker 1: Congressman Kevin McCarthy, also Carl Rove. This is now backfiring

1484
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:16,560
Speaker 1: on the Democrats hole around the country. Part of the

1485
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:20,639
Speaker 1: president's defense team will join us. Congressman Mike Johnson, Jordan's

1486
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 1: seculo Michael Waltz will join us. Also, Doctor Anthony Fauci

1487
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:29,640
Speaker 1: nervous about this virus. We'll get the details. All coming up.

1488
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 1: Two and eighty one days to go tonight at nine

1489
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: Hannity on Fox. Thanks for being with us. We'll see

1490
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 1: you back here tomorrow.
