1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: The best of Sean Hannity is on now. This is awe.

2
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: This president has brought a criminal enterprise into the White House. Look,

3
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: I understand any of the Democrats have important debates to

4
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: have about who their candidates should be. They have to win,

5
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: they have to win. I will shut down the government

6
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: and I am proud and I'm just agree. I am

7
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: proud to shut down the government for border security check

8
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: holding them accountable. Sean gets the answers no one else does.

9
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution. We've

10
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: new Sean show. I'm to see his information on freaking

11
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: news and more bold inspired solutions for America. All right,

12
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: glad you're with us. We're waiting, hopefully. Want to see

13
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: what happens with the judge in the Flynn sentencing case.

14
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: There was a three pm deadline Eastern times now three

15
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: oh six Eastern that the Special Council needed a hand

16
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: over all the relevant three h two information as it relates,

17
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: interview information as it relates to General Flynn. I went

18
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: through all of this in great specificity, in detail yesterday.

19
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: I still cannot believe that this has happened in our country.

20
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: The judge in this case, the guy by the name

21
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: of Emmett Sullivan, and he was the one that presided

22
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: over the appeal and overturn in the Ted Stevens corruption case.

23
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Ted Stevens, if you don't don't remember, convicted on eight

24
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: counts when he was a senator also running for reelection,

25
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: lost his reelection. But every one of those, in every

26
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: one of those charges, it was overthrown, and this judge

27
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: got so mad and so angry. New York Times described

28
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: it this way, Emmett Sullivan, speaking in a slow, deliberate

29
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: manner that failed to conceal his anger, saying that in

30
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: the twenty five years he's been on the bench, he

31
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: had quote never seen mishandling and misconduct like what I

32
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: have seen by the Justice Department prosecutors who tried to

33
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Stevens case. They write he did and lacerating Judge Sullivan's

34
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: lacerating fourteen minute speech focusing on disclosures the prosecutors had

35
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: improperly withheld evidence in the case, virtually guaranteeing reverberations beyond

36
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: the dismissal of the verdict in the case of Senator Stevens,

37
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: and that by the way, Stevens lost his whole career

38
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: over it, so he was not guilty. And this is

39
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: what I keep saying, Andrew Weissman, as this history. We've

40
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: talked to author of the book License to Lie, Sidney

41
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: Powell many times. It's must read book when you think

42
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: that it can't happen in America, it can happen in America.

43
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: And the history of tampering with FBI three h two's

44
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: and I thought the Federalists made a very strong case

45
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: that I really make sense that. Well, there had to

46
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: be an earlier three o two because both Struck and

47
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: Page allude to it in their text messages, and Comey

48
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: alluded to reading it before he was fired in May.

49
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: But yet the official one on the record, well, that

50
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: would be the three o two from August. But Flynn

51
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: was interviewed the first week of the Trump presidency on

52
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: January twenty fourth. So I mean, this is this is

53
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: going to be fascinating. I don't know why I can

54
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: see this. Judge. Maybe I'm wrong throwing the whole thing out,

55
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: the plea, everything and saying it's over based on misconduct.

56
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: And I wonder if he will do what he the

57
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: last time. Last time he ordered literally a special investigation

58
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: into the prosecutors, which is almost unheard of. And you know,

59
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: he talked about he actually named the judge named a

60
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: federal district court by Bill Clinton. Anyway, he talked about

61
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: the troubling tendency he had among prosecutors to stretch the

62
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: boundaries of ethics restrictions, concealing evidence to win cases. You know,

63
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: it is a danger that you see with prosecutors that

64
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: its it becomes a game of winning and losing to

65
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: them instead of what's right and what's wrong and what's

66
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: just and what's not just. You know that we throw

67
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: around the term prosecutorial discretion all the time, but you know,

68
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: it really does mean something because I do think if

69
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: that's your job day in and day out, and maybe

70
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: becomes cynical because you're dealing with a lot of bad

71
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: people and you think everybody's lying and you think everybody's corrupt,

72
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: But sometimes there are good people that can caught up

73
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: in bad situations that they're not guilty of, and wanting

74
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: to to weed them out and find the truth ought

75
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: to be the goal, not about winning and not about losing.

76
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: What's interesting. Kimberly Strassell had a great piece out noting

77
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: on this All Today about Judge Emmett Sullivan demanding that

78
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: Robert Muller produced these key documents to justify his indictment

79
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: of General Flynn. Now the problem here too is you

80
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: got to remember none of the FBI agents thought that

81
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: General Flynn had line, including Struck, including McCabe, and including Comey.

82
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: And the bizarre part of this is the statement that

83
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: Comey had made. Let's go back and play the statement

84
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: that we have. This is James Comey admitting, well, I

85
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't have tried to pull off this interview in the

86
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Bush administration or the Obama administration, but I saw an

87
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: opening and I took it. But so that before the

88
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: agents actually went in, there was a call with Andrew McCabe,

89
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: the deputy FBI director, and he's telling General Flynn, now,

90
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: you don't need a lawyer, and they're going in and

91
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: a relaxed manner to see, well, what's General Flynn's mood.

92
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: The problem is they already had illegal surveillance, unmasking in

93
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: this particular case, and raw intelligence. They had basically a

94
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: print out of the conversation that General Flynn had would

95
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: as soon to be Russian counterpart and anything that he

96
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: said that maybe didn't match perfectly, meaning his recollection with

97
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: what was on the transcript. They were going to nail

98
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: him for lying to the FBI. But the question is

99
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: will that never happen? Anyway? Here's what Comey said, Well,

100
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: I think should blow everybody away. You look at this

101
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: White House now, and it's hard to imagine two FBI

102
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: agents sending up in this same room. How did that happen?

103
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: I sent them something we probably wouldn't have done or

104
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation and

105
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: more organized administration in the George W. Bush administration, for example,

106
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: or the Obama administration. The protocol two men that all

107
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: of us have perhaps increased appreciation for over the last

108
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: two years. And in both of those administrations, there was process.

109
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: And so if the FBI wanted to send agents into

110
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: the White House itself to interview a senior official, you

111
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: would work through the White House Council and there'll be

112
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: discussions and approvals and who would be there. And I

113
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: thought it's early enough, let's just send a couple of

114
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: guys over. I mean, he's bragging about it, bragging about

115
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: it not being the standard order of doing things, because

116
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: there's quote, this is a chaotic White House. Well, they

117
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: had only been in office four days. It's breathtaking in

118
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: terms of the magnitude of arrogance. And you know this

119
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: is a higher calling. Really, James Comey bragging about setting

120
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: up a three star general thirty three years of service

121
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: to his country after you had your deputy call over

122
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: and say, nah, you don't need a lawyer. I can't

123
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: imagine the Special Council did submit the documents about Flynn's

124
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: January twenty seventeen interview with the FBI. It's going to

125
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: be interesting. Was there are other three O two's. Information's

126
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: just coming out as it gets out, we'll get it

127
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: to you. But anyway, back to the Kimberly Strassel column

128
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: today about Judge Emmett Sullivan's demanded and it's now turned over.

129
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: We now have confirmation they did submit the documents to

130
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: the judge, and you know they have to now justify

131
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: their indictment of General Michael Flynn. I've got to believe

132
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: that this judge is seeing parallels between Flynn's case and

133
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: the FBI's corrupt attempt a railroad Ted Stevens ten years ago.

134
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: And it's not merely because Judge Sullivan presided over both

135
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: Stevens and Flynn's cases. It turns out that the same

136
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: Justice Department official who played a critical role in the

137
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 1: Stevens case now presides over the highly dubious prosecution of

138
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: General Flint. Because that person is none other than Robert Mueller.

139
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: You know, we keep getting back to the same group

140
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: of people. Well, you know, we keep getting back to who.

141
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: By the way, if we can print that out, I

142
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: see it's now currently available. Linda, thank you. You still

143
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: have Rod Rosenstein and Comey and McCabe and Robert Mueller.

144
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: They're all on this little They're always touching base in

145
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: there throughout the entirety of their careers. And it makes

146
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: you wonder. And I was the one that was always warning,

147
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: why did Robert Muller, who, by the way, James Comey

148
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: was hoping would get appointed special counsel, which is why

149
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: he leaked information that may be a legal problem for

150
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: him in the end too, but leaked it to the

151
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: professor to the New York Times for the purpose of

152
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: getting a special counsel. But the sad thing is is

153
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: Comey's after Trump on the fourth day of his administration.

154
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: Because if you're gonna treat him and his administration differently

155
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: then you treated past administrations, and you're gonna break all

156
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: protocols to do it. You know, you're gonna sign off

157
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: on a FISA application one that you have to say,

158
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: according to Rod Rosenstein, to the best of your knowledge,

159
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: is true. And James Comey signed the first FISA warrant

160
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: application in October of twenty sixteen based on we now

161
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: know the phony Clinton Boughton paid for Russian Line dossier.

162
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: And then in January before he became president, when he

163
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: was President elect, Donald Trump meets with all of these

164
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: guys Clapper, call me, etc. Comey pulls him aside and says,

165
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: just so you know, there's there's dossier out there, it's

166
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: unproven and it's salacious. Well, that's not what they would

167
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: telling the FISA court back in October, you know, or

168
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: when they were just about to renew it. Probably right

169
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: around that time, they weren't telling the FISA court the

170
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: court that it wasn't verified either, and they never told

171
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: the FISA Court who paid for it. None of this

172
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: is standard operating procedure. The fact that he's so arrogantly

173
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: bragging about the fact I sent my agents over their

174
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: two chaotic. Let's take advantage. We'll tell Flynn not to

175
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: get a lawyer, and then we'll charge him with perjury.

176
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: It blows my mind anyway, so Kimberly Strassel writes Emmett

177
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: Sullivan got a wake up call. In two thousand and eight,

178
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: while overseeing the trial of Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska.

179
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: Judge Sullivan ultimately assigned a lawyer to investigate the Justice

180
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: Department misconduct. The investigator's report found the prosecutors that engaged

181
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: in deliberate, repeated ethical violations withholding key evidence from the defense.

182
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: It also excoriated the FBI for failing to write up

183
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: three O two's for omitting key facts from those it

184
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: did write. The head of the FBI at the time

185
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: was Robert Mueller, and Judge Sullivan since has made it

186
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: his practice to begin every case with a Brady or,

187
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: which reminds prosecutors of their constitutional obligation to provide the

188
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: defense with any exculpatory evidence, and on December twelve, twenty seventeen,

189
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: days after being assigned the Flint case, Judge Sullivan issued

190
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: that order, instructing Mueller's team to turn over any evidence

191
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: in its possession that is favorable to the defendant and

192
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: material either to defendant's guild or punishment, And had the

193
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: other had any other judge drawn that case, we likely

194
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: would never have seen the details of the FBI's behavior.

195
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: So it's clear something has this judge on high alert

196
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: here and he's seeing the obvious parallels I think, and

197
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: Kimberly Strassel clearly agrees in her peace to the Stevens

198
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: case because the media was predicting a quick ruling in

199
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: the Flint case. Now Judge Sullivan, with his new orders,

200
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: is demanding to see for himself the McKay memo and

201
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: the Flynn three O two and ordering the special counsel

202
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: to hand over today the other documents they've since been

203
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: handed over special counsels. You know, says defendants co operation

204
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: military service justify a sentence at the low end of

205
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: the guideline range. Anyway, Judges have the ability to reject

206
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: plea deals they have. They can require a prosecutor make

207
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: a case at a trial. Criminal justice system isn't only

208
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: about holding defendants accountable. Trials also provide oversight of investigators

209
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: in their tactics. Judges are not obliged to follow prosecutors

210
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: sentencing recommendations. You know, no one knows what Judge Tullivan

211
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: is going to do here, but his reputation is no nonsense,

212
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: straight shooter advocate for government transparency. And my gut is

213
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: telling me that this is this is not going to

214
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: break the way Mueller thinks it's going to break. So

215
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: we'll see eight hundred nine four one Shawn toll free

216
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: telephone number. I actually have a copy of it. I'm

217
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: going to read through it in this break and I'll

218
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: report back to you when we get back. Hey, listen,

224
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: Smoking is not about politics, It's about people. There are

225
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: thirty four million Americans that smoke. For me, Jewel was

226
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: a game changer because you switch to Jewel, It's simple,

241
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: So reading this submission by the special counsel in the

242
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: Flynn case, and you know they're going out of their

243
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: way to say that Michael Flynn the circumstances liar, Liar, Liar.

244
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean they mentioned they chose to make false statements,

245
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: chose to lie about the topic with the incoming vice president,

246
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: that that is all true. Nobody in this is mentioning

247
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: that I have seen yet the illegal surveillance, not minimization, unmasking,

248
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: and leaking of raw intelligence, or the fact that they

249
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: had the transcript which gave them the confidence to know

250
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: that he was lying, which very well was illegal by

251
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. That is yet to be addressed. I

252
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: hope Judge Sullivan in this case actually does that. And

253
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: then you know, the defendant repeated the false statements to

254
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: members of the presidential transition team. I'm having a hard

255
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: time believing that General Flynn lied as much as probably

256
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: didn't remember the conversation. I don't know, because I have

257
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: so many conversations with so many different people on any

258
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: one given day. You really remember the details of those conversations,

259
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: don't You might remember the highlights, but you might get

260
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: something that was even important wrong, which would be understandable

261
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: to me. And that's one of the big points that

262
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: I have is where is any discretion. Then they go

263
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: on to say the interview was voluntary, Well, they did

264
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: tell him not to have a lawyer and lacked any

265
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: type of coercion. When arranging the interview, McCabe asked the

266
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: defendant if he'd be willing to speak with two FBI agents.

267
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: The defendant agreed. They agreed to conduct the interview of

268
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: the defendant's office as the Now, again we just heard

269
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: from James Comey bragging about how how wouldn't have gotten

270
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: away with this in any other administration. As the interviewing

271
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: agents noted, the defendant was relaxed and jocular during the

272
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: because he trusted him, because he didn't know that he

273
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: was being set up in a perjury trap here, and

274
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: it gives the circumstances of the defendant's interview do not

275
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: lessen the seriousness of the defense. Now by the defendant

276
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: submitting multiple aspects of the interview, does it lessen the

277
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: seriousness of the offense. How did they get this information

278
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: on Flynn? That you have to start there as if

279
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: it was attained illegally? Therein lies a huge problem that

280
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: nobody seems to want to bring up. You know, sitting

281
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: national security advisor, former head of an intelligence agency, retired

282
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: lieutenant general, knows he should not lie to federal agents.

283
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: He did not need to be warned it was a

284
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: crime to lie to federal agents. Well, he should have

285
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: been warned that it was important and that maybe he

286
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: needed a lawyer here because they were setting him up

287
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: of her situation by purposely by passing the White House

288
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: Council and by saying, well, he agreed to meet with

289
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: the FBI, but you have the FBI director admitting on

290
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: tape that, well, I wouldn't have tried this with any

291
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: other administration. I just tried it because there was chaos

292
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: in the first week of the Trump administration anyway. So

293
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: I'll give you the redactive portions of what we can

294
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: glean from it when we get back. But this has

295
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: now been submitted. Quick break right back. We'll continue when

296
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: we come back. More of the best of the Sean

00:18:50,840 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: Hannity Show. Stay tuned. You are listening to the best

298
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: of the Sean Hannity Show. Hannity uncovers the real truth

299
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: about the politics of DC teas your watchdog on Big

300
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: Brother every day. Hannity is on right now. When something

301
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: is classified, to put a marking on that paragraph, right,

302
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: And there were three that bore C in perens, which

303
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: means that's confidential classified. So a reasonable person who has

304
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: been a senator, a secretary of State, a first lady.

305
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Wouldn't a reasonable person know that that was a classified

306
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: marking as a secretary of state? Yeah, a reasonable person,

307
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: that's all I'm asking. Yeah, before this investigation, I probably

308
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: would have said, yes, I'm not so sure. I don't

309
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: find it incredible. Director told me, come on, I mean,

310
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: I've only been here a few years, and I understand

311
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: the importance of those markings. So you're you're suggesting that

312
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: a long length of time that she had no idea

313
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: what a classified marking would be. That's your swarm testimony today,

314
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: Not that she would have no idea what a classified

315
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: marketing would be, but but it's interesting questions or whether

316
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: she this question about sophistication came up earlier, whether she

317
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: was actually sophisticated enough to understand what a C in

318
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: Preen's means. So you're saying, this former Secretary of State

319
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: is not sophisticated enough to understand a classified marking. That's

320
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: a huge statement, you know what I'm saying. Are you

321
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: asked me, did I assume that someone would know? Probably

322
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: before this investigation, I would have. I'm not so sure

323
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: of that answer any longer. I think it's possible, possible

324
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: that she didn't understand what a cement when she saw

325
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: it in the body of an email like that. Oh now,

326
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: if you put that next to by the way, glad

327
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: you're with use twenty four now to the top of

328
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: the hour. Remember Hillary didn't know what the semant on

329
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: the pill. I don't know what you know. It's it's

330
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: pretty ridiculous. I actually have that tape. Let me just

331
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: do that in light of the Special Counsel now releasing

332
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: their statement, the government's reply to the defendant's memorandum and

333
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: aid in sentencing. This is really in response to Judge

334
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: Sullivan's request for the three h twos. But let's go

335
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: back to Hillary and the issue of not understanding the

336
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: c classification, which I'm telling you she understood. With respect

337
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: to classification on classified documents, there is what's called a header.

338
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: It says this material is top secret, secret, or confidential.

339
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: There were no headers on the thousands of emails that

340
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: I sent or received. There just weren't in The FBI

341
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: has not in any way contradicted that there were a

342
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: couple of emails with a tiny CEA in a parenthesis

343
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: which did not have a header saying that means confidential

344
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: in this circumstance, and which Director of the FBI has said,

345
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: and the State Department has said, those couple of emails

346
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: were improperly marked. Even with that, So yes, I take

347
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: classification seriously, and I think the record shows that I have.

348
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: But authorities say that C stood for confidential. There was

349
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: no header that the document that the little C appeared

350
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: in was marked confidential, which is the lowest form of classification.

351
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: What you're saying, it's deeper in the email, of course, absolutely,

352
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: and that's what the director said, Oh, I have no

353
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: idea the classification. Now, when you look at the Special

354
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: Council's document, keeping that in mind, it says a sitting

355
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: national security advisor, former head of an intelligence agency, retired

356
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: lieutenant general, thirty three year veteran of the Armed Forces,

357
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: knows he should not lie to federal agents. He doesn't

358
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: need to be warned it's a crime to lie to

359
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: federal agents. To know the importance of telling them the truth,

360
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: it defended. Undoubtedly was aware, in light of his many

361
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: years working with the FBI that lying to the FBI

362
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: carries serious consequences. He, unlike and they mentioned Van der

363
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Swan and Papadopoulos, was a senior national security official with

364
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: extensive federal government experience, had led an intelligence agency, had

365
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: worked with the FBI, and was steeped in the importance

366
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: of accurate information to decision making. In areas of national security. Now,

367
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: remember one other fact here. Remember Obama recommended to Donald

368
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: Trump that he not take on General Flynn, so they

369
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: targeted him. That might explain the illegal surveillance without minimization, unmasking,

370
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: and leaking of raw intelligence that put the general in

371
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: this position in the first place. That if they have

372
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: a printed copy of the actual phone call that they

373
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: got and obtained illegally, unless they got a warrant that

374
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: we didn't know about, I haven't heard about they, that

375
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: would have all been obtained illegally. Nobody's talking about that.

376
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: That is the foundational material for what they had on

377
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: General Flynn. Then it goes on in this Muller response

378
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: today that finally, the interviewing agents did not deserve any

379
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: indication of deception and had the impression at the time

380
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: the defendant was not lying or didn't think he was lying.

381
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: See he struck three O two at four. Members of

382
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: the presidential transition team were likewise misled by the defendant's

383
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: false denials. Those misimpressions do not change the fact, as

384
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: the defendant has admitted in sworn testimony to this district court. Well,

385
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: because that was the plea deal doesn't mean he really

386
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: believes he's lying, means it was the plea deal that

387
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: he took, probably because he couldn't afford any more lawyers

388
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: and was selling his house, and probably because behind closed

389
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: doors they were threatening to go after his son, who

390
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: he was in business with. That's not mentioning those little

391
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: details anyway, that it doesn't defend the fact that he

392
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: was indeed lying, knowingly made false statements to the FBI

393
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: agents in a national security investigation. All right, So it

394
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: goes on from there. Now those false statements were material.

395
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: They go on to say, Now here's what's pretty interesting here.

396
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: If you go back to the three O two's and

397
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: this is now I'm going into the weeds, because you

398
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: know what's fascinating is it didn't go through the White House.

399
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: But they put the attachments that the judges requested here

400
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: and it says what follows our notes I short, I

401
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: typed shortly after my conversation with Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.

402
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: While I have quoted directly in a few places, this

403
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: represents the substance of our conversation. And it goes on

404
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: to say that on two Tuesday. They don't mention that

405
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: they didn't go through the White House, or that he

406
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: was told by McCabe not to have an attorney present

407
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: on Tuesday twenty seventeen. Well, by the way, this is

408
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: the January twenty fourth, twenty seventeen. These are the notes

409
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: that I assume struck It put together. First, General Flynn

410
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: called via secure line from my redacted to my block

411
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: block blacked out. After talking briefly about the security briefing

412
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: provider the White House staff, I told Lieutenant General Flynn

413
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: that I had a sensitive matter to discuss. I explained

414
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: that in light of the significant media coverage public discussion

415
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: about his recent contacts with Russian representatives, that Director Comy

416
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: and I felt that we needed to have this must

417
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: have been written by McCabe, who's also gone for lying,

418
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: who Struck has also gone for his bias, and oh

419
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: James Comy, all the people involved in this, they're all gone.

420
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: I felt that we needed to have two of our

421
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: agents sit down with the General and hear from him

422
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: the details of those conversations. Lieutenant General Flynn asked if

423
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: I was referring to the contacts with the Russian ambassador

424
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: to the US. I indicated that I was. The General

425
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: Flynn explained that he had been trying to build relationships

426
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: with the Russians, and that he had calls in which

427
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: he exchanged condolences. He then stated that I probably knew

428
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: what was said. I guess he's saying that, meaning he

429
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: assuming now that they might have taped him. At that point,

430
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: I reiterated the light of everything that he has been

431
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: said about these contacts, the important thing now for us

432
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: is to hear directly from him about what he said

433
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: and how he felt about the conversations. Now, if the

434
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: General at this point is thinking they have the conversation,

435
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: why would he lie? Just stop right there, because he's

436
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: saying here, he stated, I probably knew what was said.

437
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: He's saying that, I'm guessing you surveiled this. I'm guessing

438
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: you already know. Then the question is if he thinks

439
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: they know, he's not going to purposely lie, because he

440
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: would know what the ramifications of that are would be.

441
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: Lieutenant General Flynn question, you know so much information that

442
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: had been made public, asked if we thought it had

443
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: been leaked. I replied that we were quite concerned about

444
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: what we perceived as significant leaks. Well, the only leaks

445
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: that could have come would have been from those people.

446
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: That in fact surveiled, unmasked, and leaked raw intelligence. I

447
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: explained to General Flynn my desire, what is to have

448
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: two of my agents interview him as quickly, quietly, discreetly

449
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: as possibly. Agreed, offered to meet the agents today. We

450
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: had some discussion about timing, ultimately agreed to conduct the

451
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: interview at his office in the White House at fourteen thirty.

452
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: But of course they never went through the General Council,

453
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: which would be the proper procedure, because James Comey was

454
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the quote chaos of the new administration

455
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: and not following the normal procedures and protocols, so disgraceful. Now,

456
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot of this in Attachment B is is redacted

457
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: to just get a lot of blackout here. And this

458
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: is the August official three ZO two, and a lot

459
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: of it's blacked out. And the question is why is

460
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: it in August and where is because the first one

461
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: doesn't actually give you know, I'm looking at the a

462
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: attachment here that the Special Counsel is included. And these

463
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: are just these shortly memories, shortly written after he'd met

464
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: with Flynn and the lead up to it. What are

465
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: you saying in my ear, we're gonna put this up

466
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: on handy dot com for our folks too. So then

467
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: they go into Peter Struck was interviewed and is blah

468
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: blah blah blah participating Special counsel FBI special agent. The

469
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: purpose of the interview collects certain information regarding Struct's involvement

470
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: in various aspects of what was the Special Council's investigation

471
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: and FBI counterintelligence Struck out involvement several blah blah blah

472
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: blah investigations. It's hard because now all of this is

473
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: redacted at the bottom. On January twenty fourth, McCabe told

474
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Struck to interview Flynn. McCabe called Flynn at twelve thirty.

475
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: Flynn agreed to be interviewed that day at two thirty.

476
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: McCabe may have documented the conversation. Cobe was going to

477
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: tell Yates right before the interview, but she called him

478
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: first for another reason before he had a chance to call.

479
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: When he told her the FBI was interviewing Flynn, she

480
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: was not happy. Struck in the FBI and his partner

481
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: got access to the White House with the assistance of

482
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: an FBI White House detail. Flynn met him about two

483
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: fifteen earlier than agreed. Flynn was alone, relaxed than jocular.

484
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: He wanted to give them a little tour of the

485
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: area around his office or and they walked through the

486
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: West wing. President Trump and some of the movers were

487
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: discussing where to place some artwork walked between struck but

488
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: nobody paid attention to the agents. Flynn did not introduced

489
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: them to anyone before the interview. McCabe, redacted and others

490
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: decided the agents would not warn Flynn that it was

491
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: a crime to lie to the FBI in an interview

492
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed, and they were

493
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the rapport.

494
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: So they told him not to have a lawyer, and

495
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: they didn't tell him that this was a real interview. Wow,

496
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: that's how you treat a thirty three year vet. And

497
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: they already had a transcript. In all likelihood, Flynn was unguarded.

498
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: Clearly saw the FBI as allies. So you can be

499
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: friends with the FBI, want to help them, but if

500
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: you say something that they didn't even believe it was

501
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: a lie. But they had the transcript because it was

502
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: illegally surveiled, unmasked, and leaked law intelligence. They're screwed. This

503
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: is the United States of America. You wouldn't know it,

504
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: would You talked about various subjects, hotels where they stayed

505
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: during the campaign, the president's knack for interior design, talked

506
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: about the long hours of the job, complained about the

507
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 1: politics surrounding it, but Flynn always to work his way

508
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: to the subject of terrorism. Flynn was so talkative and

509
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: had so much time for them that Struck wondered if

510
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor did not have more important things

511
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: to do than have such a relax, nonpertinent discussion with them. Wow.

512
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: It was decided before the interview agents redacted redacted would

513
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: use the exact words that Flynn used. That means they

514
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: had the transcript, such as to try and refresh his recollection.

515
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: If Flynn would still not confirm what he said, they

516
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: would not confront him or talk him through it. Struck

517
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: conducted the interview, was primarily responsible for taking notes and

518
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: writing the Flynn three O two. Throughout the interview, Flynn,

519
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: at a very sure demeanor, did not give any indicators

520
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: a deception. He did not parse his words or hesitating

521
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: any answers. He only had once, which they documented in

522
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: the three ZO two Struck and both had the impression

523
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: at the time that he was not lying. They didn't

524
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: think he was lying. Flynn struck Struck as bright but

525
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: not profoundly sophisticated. The agents left Flynn in a collegial

526
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: positive way. There was no discussion to follow up. Struck

527
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: return to FBI headquarters brief McCabe on the interview. McCabe

528
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: Briefcomy Struck was aware Blah Blah redacted later about the

529
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: FBI's decision to interview Flynn. Shortly after the interview, Yates

530
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: briefed the White House staff on the Flynn calls. They

531
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: had It was a setup. Now the question is this

532
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: is Judge Sullivan gonna see this the actions of McCabe,

533
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: no lawyer not tell him that this is a real investigation,

534
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: using the having the transcript that and it totally being

535
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: a perjury trap for this guy. Because it was interesting

536
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: that Mueller had wipe Struck and Pages iPhones clean after

537
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: he had to get rid of them quietly. This is

538
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: how we treat thirty three year events. Wow, and they

539
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: wanted just this is their justification quick break right back

540
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: We'll continue is always honoring our servicemen and service women

541

Speaker 1: and standing up for liberty every day. Sean Hannity, All right,

542

Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna have great analysis from

543
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: the legal side. Andy McCarthy, Greg Jarrett are going to

544
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: weigh in on the special counsel now weighing in on

545
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: the Flynn case in Judge Sullivan's courtroom. This is gonna

546
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: be amazing how this plays out. Also later, Joe Kanscha

547
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: media bias, Bill O'Reilly media bias, all coming up on

552
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: I understand any Democrats have important debates have about who

553
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: their candidates should be. I have to win, they have

554
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: to win. I will shut down the govern and I

555

Speaker 1: shut down the government for border security, check holding them accountable.

557
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: Sean gets the answers no one else does. Freedom is

559
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm the scenes, information on breaking news and more bold

560
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: inspired solutions for America. All right, as we roll along,

561
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity show our two right down our toll free

562
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: telephone number. It's eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn,

563
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program, uh,

564
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: if you are just joining us. We now know that

565
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: in fact, Robert Muller has responded in the case of

566
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: Judge Sullivan and the request for the three O two's

567
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: and it's been handed over and stands by the case

568
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: that they made that in fact General Flynn had lied, etc. Etc.

569
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: But there are certain glaring discoveries both in this and

570
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: that we now know. Number one is that they had

571
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: a full transcript of the conversation. Nobody has ever discussed

572
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: the surveillance, the unmasking, the leaking of raw intelligence from

573
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, that they had the entire transcript, or

574
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: the unbelievable discovery that in fact Andrew McCabe said, yeah,

575
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: we want to talk to you, but you don't need

576
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: a lawyer or anything, or the admission by James come

577
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: almost bragging that they set up General Flynn by you

578
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: know him, I wouldn't have pulled this in the Bush

579
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: or the Obama administrations. It's the first week of the

580
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: Trump administration. Here's what he said. You look at this

581
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: White House now, and it's hard to imagine two FBI

582
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: agents sending up in this same room. How did that happen?

583
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: I sent them something I probably wouldn't have done or

584
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation, a

585
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: more organized administration in the George W. Bush administration, for example,

586
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: or the Obama administration. The protocol two men that all

587
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: of us have perhaps increased appreciation for over the last

588
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: two years. And in both of those administrations, there was process.

589
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: And so if the FBI wanted to send agents into

590
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: the White House itself to interview a senior official, you

591
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: would work through the White House Council and there'll be

592
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: discussions and approvals and who would be there. And I thought,

593
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: it's early enough, let's just send a couple of guys over. Wow.

594
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: What an admission. And they didn't warn General Flynn that

595
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: it would be a crime to lie to the FBI. Oh,

596
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: he should have known that. I guess Sillary should have

597
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: known that a c on an email men classified. I

598
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: mean the double standard always comes into play, doesn't it.

599
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: Andy McCarthy is here, Fox News contributor, calumnist National Review,

600
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: Former Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

601
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analysts, author of the number

602
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: one bestseller of The Russia Hoax. Andy, let me start

603
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: with you. I am very disturbed at what is clearly

604
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: to me a perjury trap for General Flynn. Because they

605
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: had the transcript. Nobody's ever talked about how that was obtained,

606
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: why there was no minimization, why there was an unmasking,

607
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: why there was leaking of raw intelligence. So that's the

608
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: predicate of all this that nobody discusses in Muller's submission

609
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: to the judge Judge Sullivan today. That bothers me telling

610
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: him he doesn't need a lawyer. That bothers me, you know,

611
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: purposely going in casually and making a conversational reminding him,

612
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: I mean, all of it to me sounds like a setup. Sean, Look,

613
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: I think this stinks. I mean that it's fair enough

614
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: to say that Flynn should not have lied to the agents.

615
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: He admitted in court that he lied to them about

616
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: a couple of things regarding this. Did he wait a minute.

617
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: But did he just admit to it as a plead

618
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: deal because he had to sell his house, he had

619
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: no money. Did he admit to it because he was

620
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: being told behind the scenes that well, we're gonna have

621
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: to investigate you in your son's business if you don't

622
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: sign this, and he just says, okay, I'll just take

623
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: the deal. Maybe he took the deal because it was

624
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: in his best interests, in family's best interest to do it,

625
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: not believing he really lied. I don't think so, Sean,

626
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: because his claim in court was that he got hoodwinked

627
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: into lying. Neither he nor his lawyers are saying that

628
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: he told the truth. He was asked, did you ask

629
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: the Russians through kids leak not to escalate the tensions

630
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: after the Obama due to the Obama's sanctions? He denied

631
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: that he had said that, but he obviously did say

632
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: it because it's on the tape. And he denied that

633
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: the Russian ambassador had told them that they decided not

634
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: to escalate out of Flynn's request. So he's not saying

635
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: that he told the truth about those things. His position

636
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: in court is that he didn't tell the truth. But

637
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: what they haven't established, is why he was questioned in

638
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: the first place. It has seemed to me from the

639
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: very beginning here that there was no predicate to have

640
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: an investigation of Flynn. There was nothing wrong with Flynn

641
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: having had those conversations with Kisliak. It was stupid for

642
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: him to lie about them, but there was nothing wrong

643
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 1: with having them in the first place. And my sense

644
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: of what happened here is that they intimidated Flynn into

645
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: thinking that the Logan Act, which is a more abund

646
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: tool seventeen law that has been exercise twice, not successfully. Yeah,

647
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: And I think what happened was they made Flynn think

648
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: that he was in real jeopardy if he had had

649
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: these conversations and discussed these matters with the Russian ambassador

650
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: because of the the Logangan Act, and that Flynn panicked

651
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: and lied about them. But that doesn't mean they should

652
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: have been investigating it in the first place. And they

653
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't have told him he shouldn't have a lawyer. I

654
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: mean that you don't get you don't get to advise

655
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: somebody like that. They shouldn't have told him that. But

656
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, he's a he's was

657
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency and he knows

658
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: you shouldn't lie to FBI agents. I mean, come on,

659
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: is there any is there any chance he didn't recollect it.

660
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no benefit of the doubt at all

661
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: here that maybe he didn't have a full recollection Sean,

662
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: he could have gone to Toronto if that was where

663
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: he was, if that was where he was coming from.

664
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: But no, but maybe he didn't have the money he

665
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: had to sell his house. Great, you can always say

666
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: at the end of a false state, when somebody gets

667
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: convicted of false statement, said it was a failure of recollection.

668
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: He had the ability to to litigate that. I mean,

669
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: it can't be both that. Uh, you know, it can't

670
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 1: be both that if he if he tells them the truth,

671
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: he should get credit for that. But if he doesn't

672
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: tell them the truth. I just I mean, you know,

673
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: he lied if there was no underlying crime or wait,

674
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: if there's no underlying crime, claiming, Sean, he's not claiming

675
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: now that I'm asking you, though, you're you're saying that

676
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: he might have thought it was believe I believe he lied.

677
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: I No, I understand that. But if there was no

678
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: underlying crime. In other words, the Logan Act wouldn't have

679
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: been applicable, and there was nothing wrong with him speaking

680
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: to his future counterpart. Actually sounds intelligent to me. And

681
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: then Comey is threading the needle doing things he wouldn't

682
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 1: do in the Bush or Obama administration. I m Cave's

683
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: telling them not to have a lawyer, and the agents

684
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: go in with a strategy that is described in the

685
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: three zero two to make them seem like they're their buddies,

686
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. It just seems like a setup.

687
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: It's a perjury trap. I completely agree, it's a perjury trap,

688
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: all right, Greg, Well, there are a lot of reasons

689
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: somebody pleads to a process crime that I regard, as

690
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, in the scheme of things, a fairly minor thing,

691
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: especially if prosecutors have caused you to go broke, you've

692
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: had to sell your home, and they're threatening to prosecute

693
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: your son on a different matter. So that changes the

694
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: equation dramatically. But I look at this three h two,

695
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: and what I see here is that the FBI agents

696
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: Peter Struck and they blank out the other one. We

697
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: know it's Joe Pienka, which Rosenstein continues to hide question mark.

698
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: They say that they had the impression at the time

699
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: that the defendant was interviewed that he was not lying,

700
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: and they did not think he was Lyne. Now that

701
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: is the most important part of the fifteen pages of

702
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: documents that we have. We are now seeing it in

703
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: the three zero two. And so my question would be,

704
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: if I were the judge on Tuesday and at Sullivan,

705
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: I would say, why did you prosecute this man for

706
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: Lyne when the agents who interviewed him determined he wasn't.

707
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: And I would love to hear the answer to that.

708
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: So that's what jumps out out at me the most. Andy,

709
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: you want to respond to that, Yeah, I guess you know.

710
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: The only thing that you can say about it on

711
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: the line front is whether somebody but he tells the

712
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: truth to agents or not is not something that hinges

713
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: on whether the agents correctly predict or judge that the

714
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: person who they're talking to seems to be telling the

715
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: truth or at least trying to. They're the only one. Greg.

716
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: You're leaving out the third witness who's the most important witness,

717
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: which is the person himself. And if the person himself,

718
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: if I lie to you, Greg, and you think I'm

719
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: telling you the truth, and then two months later I

720
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: say I pulled one over on Greg. The fact is

721
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: I pulled one over on you, regardless of whether you

722
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: thought at the time that I was telling you. They

723
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: let me ask a serious question. I mean, is there

724
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: any chance he decided to plead to a lesser crime

725
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: of lying, which means he has to say that he

726
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: lied to get his kid off or to get further

727
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: to you know, he can't afford the lawyers anymore. And

728
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: all that, I mean, you say anything to take your deal. No,

729
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: anything as possible. But the point is you think he lied.

730
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: He says he lied, and his lawyers are saying he lied.

731
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: And it doesn't make any sense to me you would

732
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: take a position in court that I have been pressured

733
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: by the FBI. I've been hoodwinked into the by the FBI. Okay,

734
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: let me ask you at all position. Why wouldn't you sean,

735
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you just say I didn't lie? Why would

736
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: you go into listen? I agree with I agree with you,

737
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: But again, under these circumstances, are you at all concerned

738
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: a how this was obtained? Meaning they had the transcript.

739
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: I think it's outrageous how it was obtained. Are you

740
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: Are you concerned of the FBI's tactics here, And that

741
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: means Komy and McCabe basically throwing all normal processes out

742
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: the window to get to this guy when they would

743
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: never do it in another administration this way, correct. I

744
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: think that they had no basis to interview him. I

745
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: think if you're interviewing a guy for intelligence purposes, you

746
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: play the tape for him and then you ask him

747
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: what did this mean? What did that mean? And if

748
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: you're doing it by the book, you call the White

749
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: House counsel and you say, I want to interview the

750
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: National Security see because you're describing as an honest way

751
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: to handle this andy. But they didn't do it that way.

752
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: That's why I think it's a perjury trap. But but

753
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: is that what we're gonna do? But my problem is

754
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,439
Speaker 1: a perjury trap for a thirty three year vet five

755
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: years of combat is just it doesn't just rub me

756
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: the wrong way. It makes me sick to my stomach.

757
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it is right to have a perjury trap.

758
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: There's usually perjury involved. And the argument with the perjury

759
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: trap is that it shouldn't have happened in the first place,

760
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: not that the guy didn't commit the full statements Greg Well,

761
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: in the three O two document, it talks about how

762
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: Flynn was unguarded and he was not sophisticated. Those are

763
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: exact words from the three O two document. So it

764
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: also in McCabe's memo that's Attachment A. McCabe admits that

765
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: he's pushing Flynn not to have a lawyer. You know,

766
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: he's selling him. You know, if we bring anybody else

767
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: in the room, we got to go through the Department

768
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: of Justice, and you know, and so that is pushing

769
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: Flynn to go solo. And they the three O two

770
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: makes it clear that they decided ahead of time not

771
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: to tell him about the transcript. So they're setting him up.

772
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: It's a perjury traps. As Andy just said that, I

773
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: want to respond to one other thing. You know, people

774
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: plead guilty to lesser crimes all the time, even though

775
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: they may not have committed those crimes. And I think

776
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: that's what happened here. And again this three O two,

777
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: the interviewing FBI agent. If they do plead guilty to

778
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: something they didn't do a lesser crime, doesn't that mean

779
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: when they go before the judge. They can't say, well,

780
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing this. I didn't really lie, but I'm doing

781
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: this because this is my plea deal. But that lawyers

782
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: can make the argument that it appears he was set up,

783
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: that they didn't they pushed him not to have a lawyer,

784
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: They didn't tell him about the transcript. That's all in

785
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: the three zero two. Stay right there, Andy McCarthy and

786
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett with us eight hundred and nine for one

787
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: sean three hours a day. It is all we ask

788
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: on the Sean Hannity Show. So please join us, but

789
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: just don't be late. Sean Hannity, is John all right?

790
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: As we continue the legal side of this Muller filing today.

791
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 1: Knowing this Judge Sullivan's history, Greg Jarrett, I suspect he's

792
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: not happy with these tactics at all. I don't know

793
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: how he's going to respond. Any prediction. Well, I don't

794
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: think he's going to be very happy. Let's forget about

795
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 1: the fact that there was no basist even interview Flynn.

796
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: But the McCabe memo should is really incendiary in front

797
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: of a judge that McCabe pushed Flynn not to have

798
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: a lawyer, and they deliberately conspired to deceive Flynn that

799
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: they had a transcript in which he had been illegally unmasked.

800
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: But finally, I, you know, I come back to what

801
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: I said before. This is the first time we've seen

802
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: in print from the FBI that the two agents who

803
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 1: interviewed Flynn concluded he was not lying. And I think

804
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: that would be a red flag to any judge. Wait

805
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: a minute, I've got a defendant here. I wonder if

806
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: the judge we'll look at the fact that they had

807
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: the full transcript and ask, well, why was he surveiled?

808
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Why was minimization not practiced and put in places as normal?

809
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 1: Why was the unmasked? And hul Well, the surveilance always

810
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: happens with any when you're having a conversation with a Russian,

811
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: whether it be a diplomat or Okay, but they're supposed

812
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: to minimize and they're not supposed to unmask or or

813
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: leak the raw transcript of it. All right, last word,

814
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: Andy McCarthy, Well, I think you know the judge is

815
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: going to be I would think upset about the whole

816
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: way that this went forward. But it seems to be

817
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: shown that the big issue here is that Muller has

818
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: asked for. What the judge is going to impose anyway,

819
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,959
Speaker 1: which is the minimum sentence, which is probably probation. General

820
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: Flynn's going to get no time. But my point is

821
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 1: that General Flynn is going to get no time because

822
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 1: of this heroic service for thirty years to the country

823
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: and yet the story. But you don't like the tactics,

824
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: so Andy, I mean, you would not have handled it

825
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: this way by a long shot. You don't like it. No,

826
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't like it, and and I don't like that.

827
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: The way this is going to play out is that

828
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like Flynt got no time because of

829
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 1: the great cooperation he provided to the investigation. The meantime

830
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: that won't be true gave him much of anything. All right, guys,

831
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: thank you very much. When we come back, Bill O'Reilly,

832
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: Joe Concho all coming up, more of the best of

833
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Coming up The Sean Hannity Show.

834
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: A thermonuclear mmby assault on Facing News. Hannity is on

835
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: right now. The one thing that we do have to

836
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, we sometimes lose perspective on this, and the

837
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: largest perspective is we that case has been built this

838
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: week that the president was not legitimately elected. If you

839
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: look at the Russia stuff and the campaign finance stuff,

840
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: and the fact that forty thousand votes going the other

841
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: way over three states, we now don't know. And that's

842
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: why this is important. It may it's not the campaign finance.

843
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: It's not did they have a meeting in Trump Tower

844
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: with some Russians? Was he legitimately elected? And that's where

845
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: that's what we're all going to have to swear at

846
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: the end of this. I think legally, we already now

847
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 1: know that the president has committed a felony in order

848
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: to obtain the office of the presidency. He will likely

849
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: not be charged with that, and in part he's not

850
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: going to be charged because even if he could be,

851
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: forget about the DJ policy. Michael Cohen decided not to

852
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: fully cooperate with the Southern District of New York, so

853
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: he's not a witness available to them. Right now, here

854
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: is this extraordinary story of a woman who came to

855
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: this country as an immigrant, as a model. It's not

856
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: the first Lady of United States, and you know, you

857
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: would think in her rare public appearances, you know that

858
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: some terrible wrong has has been done to her in

859
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: this country. I've always been surprised by that air of

860
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 1: grievance that she carries very publicly with her. The First

861
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: Lady is echoing exactly what the President says, and it's

862
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: they're crying. The President has cried fake because he doesn't

863
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: like the truth that's being reported. And now the First

864
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: Lady m who at one point used to see it clearer,

865
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: we thought than she is, now a healthy sense of

866
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: paranuay like I do. But to say, how do you do?

867
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 1: Individual one? Yea, it would be interesting to go. I would.

868
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: I would definitely go. And if you get a picture up,

869
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, let's say he gets impeached. It's almost like

870
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: you have a picture with Nixon. It's kind of like

871
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: a collector's eye. Yes, here's the thing though, I mean,

872
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: just right, all right, twenty five now till the top

873
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: of the hour. Eight hundred nine one, Shawn is our number.

874
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 1: How they've evolved from Trump and Russia and collusion into

875
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: a campaign finance. Whatever crime that the President committed, it's

876
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,240
Speaker 1: not a crime if you look at the statute, the rules.

877
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: It's in the law itself. It doesn't include a non

878
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: disclosure agreement. The law actually matters in these things, and

879
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: with just such passionate, abandoned and stupidity, they just report

880
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: things with a level of hysteria and ignorance that it

881
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: takes your breath away every day. It is not what

882
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: they are saying that it is so many in the media.

883
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, that goes for any other contract, payment, arrangement,

884
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: anything of a private nature, it's not listed as a

885
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: campaign finance violation in the course of normal behavior. I'll

886
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: think about this normal behavior that everybody has as as

887
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: a matter of law, it was never designed or meant

888
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: or intended or insisted on or regulated to be reported.

889
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: So all the private payments that you have in the world,

890
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter the amount. They're private,

891
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: involving private matters. As for impeachment, NDA's involving private matters

892
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: occurring before he was even a candidate, are completely unrelated

893
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: to his office, cannot legally trigger the Constitution's impeachment clause.

894
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 1: You don't believe me, ask Alan Dershowitz or any number

895
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: of smart attorneys out there that we've been talking to.

896
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: All Right, Bill O'Reilly is with us to weigh in

897
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: on the media aspect of all this. He has his

898
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: brand new book out part of his Killing series called

899
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: Killing the SS, A fascinating book. I've read it cover

900
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: to cover, and now I know why you've been so

901
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: high on the New York Times lists number one for

902
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: many many weeks. You're still battling it out with Michelle Obama, though,

903
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: I say, for one and two, I appreciate you reading

904
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: a book shown I know. I'm busy wer you are

905
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: success and it is a good piece of history for

906
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: people who are interested in that. You know, the media

907
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: is interesting and it all comes down to one thing.

908
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: They don't really care about the truth anymore, and asn't

909
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: going on I would say for the last five six years,

910
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: but really accelerated after Donald Trump was elected president. When

911
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: I say they don't care about the truth. When I

912
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: went to journalism school at Boston University, which was right

913
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: after Watergate, there was a fervor to become a reporter,

914
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: and the goal that was stated in my classes was

915
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: your job is to find the truth and state it honestly.

916
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: That's your job as a reporter, no matter where you work.

917
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: And that was fine. I wanted to do that, and

918
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: that's why I spent all the money to go to

919
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: be you and get a degree. Now that's team, and

920
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: it's changed for two reasons. Number one, Donald Trump is

921
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: not a standard issue politician and the establishment in Washington

922
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: hates him because if he's successful, that opens the door

923
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: for other non traditional politicians to achieve power. So the

924
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: Washington establishment, the people who make their money off government,

925
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: want to destroy him. The second thing is that the

926
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: media chieftains are almost one hundred percent left wingers, stemming

927
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: from the Vietnam War. They are in the position of

928
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: power now and they despise Trump because he's not a liberal.

929
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: And you see this. And the third thing is that

930
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: they market to a ideological audience. So MSNBC makes its

931
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: money on liberal people, all right, and to be fair,

932
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: Fox News makes its money on conservative people, so that's

933
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: where their programming goes. But lost in all of this

934
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: is the individual's search for truth. So Donald Trump, every

935
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: single day of his life has to face accusations. Both

936
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: you and I have to face them as well. And

937
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: you know how debilitating they are psychologically and emotionally. And

938
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: the tactic is break him. And if we can't break

939
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: him emotionally, then we'll make it so that he can't

940
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: win reelection. That is the media tactic. It doesn't matter

941
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: what's true, it's the allegation dujure. I've been saying. They

942
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: now want to use this. This is a death by

943
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: a worst case scenario, death by a thousand cut strategy.

944
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: I would slightly disagree on your analysis about Fox. I

945
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: am a conservative talk show host, but there are plenty

946
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: other opinions on Fox throughout the day, strongly that are

947
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: strongly on the other side, and I don't see any

948
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: of that diversity on these other channels. Look, you know,

949
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: this is an important question. I am a Ask me

950
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: what I do for a living, and I will say

951
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: I am a talk show host. Now, part of being

952
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,479
Speaker 1: a talk show host, Bill is that there are days

953
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: I report news straight up and down. If it's a war,

954
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: if it's a hurricane, if it's some type of violent protest,

955
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm right down the middle, thrown to reporters asking objective questions.

956
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: Other times we do investigative reporting. I think we did

957
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: a pretty good job vetting Obama when very few would

958
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: exposing the deep state, when others ignored these important issues,

959
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: this abusive power. I give very strong opinion. That's part

960
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: of being a talk show host. Sometimes we talk about sports,

961
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: sometimes we do pop culture. But at the end of

962
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: the day, I would describe what I do as the

963
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: entire newspaper. But these other shows and these other venues,

964
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: they all claim that they're journalists. They should be doing

965
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: for twenty three years now. So when people ask me

966
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: about you, and occasionally they do and ask me about

967
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: you all the time, Yeah, you get the same on me,

968
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I get on you. Hannity is a commentator. That does

969
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: not mean he can't report. It does not mean he's

970
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: not able to give you information. It means that his

971
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: job is to assemble honest information and then comment on it.

972
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: That's what you do on radio and television. Now, the

973
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: fact that you have been tremendously successful speaks for itself

974
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: as far as the Fox News Channel is concerned. But

975
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: you and I were there in the beginning of it.

976
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: And the reason that Fox News dominates is because it

977
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: was the only network in television history that gave conservatives

978
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: a break that did not disparage them and dismiss them

979
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: as some kind of lunatic fringe and conservative traditional Americans

980
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and a good number of liberals admired that philosophy and

981
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: watch the channel. So what I'm trying to say is

982
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: that each news organization has a mandate to bring in viewers.

983
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: It used to be get as many viewers as you can,

984
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: but now in the left wing precincts particularly, it's we're

985
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: going to destroy Donald Trump, and anybody who wants to

986
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: see that happen is our viewership. So you go out

987
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: and find stuff that's going to destroy Donald Trump. When

988
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: the network news coverage is negative, you know the fixes

989
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: in he doesn't do anything, well, he's not doing anything

990
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: that benefits Hell, have you ever seen any of these

991
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: networks talk about the dramatic turnaround in the economy, or

992
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: foreign policy success or the difference Jerusalem is now the

993
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: capital of Israel. Others had promised, never had the courage

994
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: to do it. We can talk about North Korea, new

995
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: trade deals, Mexico, hannibalishments. You mean, it was a story

996
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: a few months ago where he allocated billions of dollars

997
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: to clean up the Pacific Ocean. It's not even our fault.

998
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,919
Speaker 1: There's a big, big plastic slick and the United States

999
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: has taken a lead to clean the ocean up. Did

1000
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: that get anything? Nope, they didn't know it's got nothing

1001
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: for the first time in seventy five years, Bill O'Reilly,

1002
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 1: America is energy independent and one of the world's largest

1003
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: exporters of energy. Seventy five years that happened under him. Look,

1004
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: Americans know that fixes in. That's why Donald Trump's approve

1005
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: rating as it stands today is about forty eight percent,

1006
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: the same as Barack Obama's was at the same time

1007
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: in his term. So Americans understand. I'm worried about Trump himself.

1008
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the human being. I mean, how much

1009
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 1: can you take because you know the toll it's taken

1010
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: on you. I know the toll it's taken on me

1011
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: to be hated and attack act every single day. Maybe

1012
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: maybe I've got a missing switch, Bill, but I don't

1013
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: give a flying rip about what these people think of it.

1014
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: I know, oh stop, times you're sitting there going, what

1015
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: the hell am I doing this for? Well, you know,

1016
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: I trained MMA five days a week, so you know,

1017
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: you know it's part of my nature. You know, I

1018
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: will say this, and I spend time this week with Milania,

1019
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: And look, I would be dishonest if I say at

1020
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: times it doesn't drag on you a little Look, I'm

1021
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: a Christian. I try not to do that. I don't

1022
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: want to build my life around hatred. But I feel

1023
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: sorry for Donald Trump the man, Okay, because I know

1024
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: that he's a proud man and that he'd like to

1025
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: be treated fairly as every human being in this country would,

1026
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: and that he is just beaten to a pulpe But

1027
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: let me say that every day, and it's just disgusting.

1028
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: I've never met and I've interviewed Milania, and I've interviewed

1029
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: the President. I've known the President like you had over

1030
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: two decades, and I will tell you that he has

1031
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: an ability to absorb all of this and not let

1032
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: it get to him. The medium may claim they're getting

1033
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: to him, Um, not from what I have seen. Not

1034
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 1: doubt you know, because look, I'm sure it does some days,

1035
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: and he gets mad some days. A guy, you know,

1036
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: is frustrated that the things that he does well. And

1037
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: I do believe he'll make a deal with China and

1038
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Europe that will help us US meaning the entire United States,

1039
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: but it's ignored. Stay right there, Bill, O'Reilly with us?

1046
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: about evil and how it's hard for good people to

1047
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: recognize evil exists. But the search for some of these

1048
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: war criminals post World War Two, you're gonna learn a lot.

1049
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: It's it's based on history and a lot of research

1050
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: that I had not known about before. It's called Killing

1060
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 1: far more presents and I ever imagined I would ever

1061
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:24,480
Speaker 1: get in my entire life. Yeah, we got a little stockings,

1062
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 1: we got the terror dog, Holly. She gets gifts and

1063
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: then Dad pays the bills. You know, is there anything

1064
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 1: that you want in your life? Because my family hates

1065
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: me because you know, there's nothing they can buy me

1066
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: because I don't want anything. You know, I'm like you.

1067
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a real materialistic kind of guy. You and

1068
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: I have been very fortunate in our lives to come

1069
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: from working class parents and now be able to access

1070
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: anything we really want. And so for me, I give

1071
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 1: a way a lot of money around Christmas time to

1072
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: people who don't have a lot. I remember those days,

1073
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: and that's what Christmas means to me. Just giving talk.

1074
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: It really is better. I mean it's clichde, but it

1075
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 1: really is true. I much prefer to give people things.

1076
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes me happier, it does, right somebody

1077
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: else happy than for me to get something. How many

1078
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: shirts do I have to have? You know? I got three?

1079
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: I mean I just rotate them every other day. All right, Bill,

1080
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: O'Reilly killing the ssh. Merry Christmas too. You have a

1081
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: great new year, and thanks for coming. Appreciate it. Merry

1082
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 1: Christmas to everybody listening right now. And Hannity is a

1083
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: good guy. I want everybody, no, don't say something like that,

1084
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: that's not that's not you're ruining my reputation. You're ruining

1085
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 1: the show if you're killing me. So I'm gonna be

1086
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: neck killing Hannity. He's gonna be the next version of

1087
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: the Killing series. Bill O'Reilly. Eight hundred nine four one,

1088
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 1: Shawn is our number. If you are listening to the

1089

Speaker 1: best of The Sean Hannity Show, don't forget cats The

Speaker 1: stay tuned for more. Right after the latest news, The

1092
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: Best of Sean Hannity is on. Now. This is awe.

1093
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: This president has brought a criminal enterprise into the White House. Look,

1094
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: I understand any Democrats have important debates to have about

1095
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: who their candidates should be. I have to win, they

1096
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: have to win. I will shut down the governa and

1097
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: I am proud and I'm just agree. I am proud

1098
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: to shut down the government, foot border security check, holding

1099
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 1: them accountable. Sean gets the answers no one else does.

1100
01:10:47,320 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 1: Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution New

1101
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. I'm to see his information on breaking

1102
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: news and more bold inspired solutions for America coming up next.

1103
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: Our final News round Up and Information Overload hour. If

1104
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: it is proven that the President directed or coordinated with

1105
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: Cohen to commit these felonies, are those impeachable offenses? Well,

1106
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 1: they would be impeachable offenses. Whether they are important enough

1107
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,880
Speaker 1: to justify an impeachment is a different question, but certainly

1108
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 1: they'd be impeachable offenses. This president, in my estimation, has

1109
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 1: done everything possible to certainly be eligible for impeachment, and

1110
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: so I really do think that it should be started.

1111
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: I think what this totality of today's filing show that

1112
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: the House is going to have little choice the way

1113
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: this is going, other than the start impeachment proceedings. This

1114
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: is a man who came in and said, I'm eigger

1115
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 1: than the House. I've been in checks and balances, I'm

1116
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 1: beginning the judicial community. I'm bigger than the free press.

1117
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,560
Speaker 1: And he's going to pay for that the rest of

1118
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: his life. When immigrants procure their citizenship by fraud, we

1119
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: strip them of their citizenship. When a president procures his

1120
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: presidency by fraud, should we consider doing the same. That

1121
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: can be a criminal case if they can prove willfulness there.

1122
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: I also think it potentially grounds for impeachment. I think

1123
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: the American people would support impeachment. Donald Trump will be

1124
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: must be impeached. He's got to know his future looks

1125
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: like it's behind bars. Donald Trump is a criminal enterprise.

1126
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: It certainly looks like they are the kind of offenses

1127
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 1: that would call for impeachment hearings. And you have this

1128
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: memorable phrase of individual number one. You know it's going

1129
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: to go down I think in the history books along

1130
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 1: with some of those memorable Watergate phrases. He may be

1131
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: the first president in quite some time to face the

1132
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: real prospect of jail time. Are you in a position

1133
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: to consider discussing impeachment in Congress? And I think we

1134
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: have to be. When the evidence becomes so clear that

1135
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 1: you very likely have a criminal sitting in the Oval office,

1136
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,759
Speaker 1: what is the Congress left to do at that point?

1137
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: I think we're past the point where everyone should be

1138
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: afraid to let the word slip across their mouth, because

1139
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 1: if this scenario doesn't call for the consideration of impeachment,

1140
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: if not flat out impeachment and removal, I'm not exactly

1141
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: sure what the founding fathers had in mind. Do you

1142
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 1: agree with Congressman Adam Schiff, who was going to be

1143
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,679
Speaker 1: the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, that President Trump

1144
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: could be indicted and possibly faced jail time after he

1145
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: leaves off. Yes, these are felonies that we're talking about.

1146
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: As it relates to impeachment, Anderson, the Constitution could not

1147
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 1: be any clear. Impeachment is the appropriate remedy for bribery,

1148
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: for treason, for high crimes and misdemeanors. It speaks for itself.

1149
01:13:55,240 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 1: If the President orchestrated and ordered Michael Cowen to break

1150
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: the law, to act in a criminal manner and did

1151
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:08,560
Speaker 1: so knowingly, as Jerry Nadler, the incoming chairman of the

1152
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: House Judiciary Committee, said, that would be an impeachable offense

1153
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: potentially again if knowledge was there. All right, that is

1154
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: your corrupt news media impeachment. You've kind of asked for

1155
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: what what are they going to impeach them on? Where's

1156
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: the Russia collusion that they all talked about. I understand

1157
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter. It's just the more shrill, the

1158
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: more angry, the more bizarre this whole thing gets. None

1159
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: of this is based on law, none of this is

1160
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: based on facts, and it's time for a little bit

1161
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 1: of you know, simple analysis and truth here and not

1162
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: the least of which is none of what they're saying

1163
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: points to any crime in any way, shape, manner, or form,

1164
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: as many lawyers have been saying. Anyway, Joe Concha of

1165
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: The Hill is with us to just take an analysis

1166
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: of all this, Joe Howard, welcome back. Does round up

1167
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:05,839
Speaker 1: information overload outstanding? You know, almost after listening to that montage,

1168
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: do you get the feeling that perhaps many in our

1169
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: political media are rooting for impeachment rooting they've been. It's

1170
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: the same people that have been doing this for two years,

1171
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: but now they feel for some reason. I think we

1172
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: got him on a campaign finance violation if he knew.

1173
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,719
Speaker 1: Now there's a couple of problems. One is Michael Cohen

1174
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: has given variations on that story, so now the question

1175
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: is but then it comes down to an issue that

1176
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: deals with the law, and the law has to be

1177
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 1: was there in intent to reach that threshold is an

1178
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 1: enormous burden to begin with. And number two, I don't

1179
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: think they can reach it right. And even if it

1180
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 1: is reached in on some level, I still would argue

1181
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: that again, this was not the campaign finance investigation. It

1182
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 1: was the Russian investigation, and all we heard for two years,

1183
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:00,759
Speaker 1: was that the president colluded, or at least his campaign

1184
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: officials colluded with the Russian government in order to effect

1185
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election. Now that that's been at least

1186
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: for now taken out of the equation, because it would

1187
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 1: have been leaked, right at some point everybody leaks in

1188
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,560
Speaker 1: this in this town, we would have heard about some

1189
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 1: sort of connection. Since that goalpost has been moved, it

1190
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,720
Speaker 1: suddenly seems like the reason why I asked you the question,

1191
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: do you think they're rooting for impeachment? Is because boy,

1192
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: half of its hatred animals towards the president. Half is

1193
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 1: because it's great for business, for clicks, for ratings if

1194
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 1: you have an impeachment going on. You remember nineteen ninety eight, boy,

1195
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: that every everybody's ratings went through the roof. So I

1196
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: think it's a combination of those things. But in the end,

1197
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: do these reach the high I heard during your clips

1198
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: high crimes and misdemeanors? Do these so called high crimes

1199
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 1: and misdemeanors. I'm going to go over this slowly again,

1200
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,559
Speaker 1: because number one, they can indict a sitting president. That's

1201
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: been the DOJ policy since nineteen seventy three, and number two.

1202
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: You know, the as good as the Southern District of

1203
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: New York is and some of the best lawyers and

1204
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: well known legal figures in the country have come out

1205
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: of there. This is not what they do. They rarely

1206
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: handle any campaign finance case. And when you listen to

1207
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 1: the left wing media regurgitating what people are implying here

1208
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 1: and things that they're they're literally cherry picking out of

1209
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 1: these reports about sentencing recommendations that's never been put together.

1210
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 1: This is all speculation on everybody's part. But if you

1211
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: look at the law and campaign finance rules and the context,

1212
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 1: they do not mention ever nondisclosure agreements or infinite other contracts, payments, arrangements,

1213
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 1: acts of a private nature as campaign contributions. Now understand

1214
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying here. The actual rules and the law

1215
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: set state the contact. They don't include issues involving NDA's

1216
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 1: other contracts, payments, arrangements, things that are of a private nature, etc.

1217
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: As campaign contributions. In other words, in the in the normal, everyday,

1218
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: not running for president life. In August of twenty fifteen,

1219
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: would Donald Trump would it be so far? Is it

1220
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: normal human behavior for people that these things happen in

1221
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 1: day to day life, either for personal reasons, familiar reasons,

1222
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: or business reasons. Are these decisions made every day? The

1223
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: answer is yes, And those private payments can be made

1224
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: in any manner, any amount, their private payments involving private matters. Now,

1225
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: you know, Levin wrote this up the other night, and

1226
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: I thought he had it down perfectly, and there's no

1227
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: reporting requirement. So the fact that they were included in

1228
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: these charges in the Cone case, we know that there

1229
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 1: are people that are just pulling out of this only

1230
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: the Michael Cones comments that they agree with and ignoring

1231
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:51,639
Speaker 1: past comments which contradicted. And as for impeachment, well, nondisclosure agreements,

1232
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: those are private matters occurring before the president was even

1233
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: a candidate, completely unrelated to the office, that cannot legally

1234
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: legitimately trigger the Constitution's impeachment clause. As a matter of fact,

1235
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 1: they could not be more irrelevant in terms of ever

1236
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: having an opportunity of reaching that threshold. Now, the history

1237
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: of high crimes misdemeanors, that language makes a crystal clear

1238
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: that the office and the president's duties are not affected

1239
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: in any conceivable way by these earlier private contracts, and

1240
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how loud or shrill they get. It's

1241
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 1: a simple matter of law at this point. Anyway, Joe

1242
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 1: conchos back of you there. I kind of look at

1243
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: it more from the public perception, right. In other words,

1244
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: if I'm sitting at home and I'm watching all this unfold,

1245
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: and I watch Democrats pursue impeachment, and I see the media,

1246
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 1: as we've mentioned before, this is something that they want,

1247
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 1: half because of animus towards the president, half because it's

1248
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: great for business. And I'm sitting at home and I'm thinking, boy,

1249
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,639
Speaker 1: is this really a reason even if I believe all

1250
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: this to remove a president from office? And I get

1251
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: impeachment doesn't remove you. You still need two thirds of

1252
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: the Senate to vote on that. But is this reasons

1253
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: for impeaching? And then I go back to nineteen ninety eight,

1254
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 1: and I was kind of young at the time, but

1255
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: I followed this stuff pretty closely, and with Monica Lewinsky

1256
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:11,440
Speaker 1: and Bill Clinton. When he perjured himself under oath, Republicans

1257
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: overplayed their hands by pursuing impeachment and they did impeach him. Obviously,

1258
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't removed. And I look at this one poll number,

1259
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Sean and It sticks with me every time I talk

1260
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 1: about this. Post impeachment, Bill Clinton's approval rating was seventy

1261
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,680
Speaker 1: three percent because people said, no, this is not why

1262
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 1: we sent you to Washington, but to pursue this sort

1263
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: of thing. We want you to help solve problems and

1264
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: advance our lives and do things that we can feel

1265
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 1: and impact us and make this country better. And I'm

1266
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: telling you, Democrats taking back the House here forty seats

1267
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: in the House, and Nancy Pelosi becomes House Speaker, and

1268
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 1: if this is going to be the focus, it will

1269
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: boomerang on them. I can guarantee you because I've seen

1270
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: this movie before. Sean, I've seen the same movie, and

1271
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: I've been a partner. I had a great conversation with

1272
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham about this, and we were both saying, it's

1273
01:20:56,120 --> 01:21:00,240
Speaker 1: like they never learned a thing from that error. Here's

1274
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: the more interesting thing, And I'm making the case that

1275
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: what we're beginning to see is a shrillness of the

1276
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: radical left and all of their real, real, deep seated

1277
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 1: everything that they tried to hide from the American people

1278
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: during the election is now coming out. The radicalism and

1279
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: this is going to This is not gonna wear well

1280
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: with the American people. The fact that they hid who

1281
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 1: they are, what their real agenda is, and their myopic

1282
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: focus on destroying a president and not solving problems. They

1283
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: are going to so overreach, and it's going to happen quickly.

1284
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,600
Speaker 1: The president, with all of this noise that we have

1285
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 1: heard now for a number of weeks here about this

1286
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: particular issue, his approval ratings have fifty percent. His approval

1287
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: rating isn't the exact same position that a Barack Obama's

1288
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 1: was at that time in his presidency. And he's had

1289
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 1: many successes, and I don't think the guys had a

1290
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: day's rest or, a day's piece without this kind of

1291
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: building anticipation to destroy him. They cannot accept the results

1292
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: of this twenty sixteen election. By the time February gets here,

1293
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 1: the American people are going to see it will be

1294
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: fully exposed to them and on display on almost an

1295
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: hourly basis how insane the leaders in the House of

1296
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: Representatives are. And it's not going to wear well with

1297
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: the American people. It's it's gonna happen quickly. They have

1298
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 1: no idea what's about to happen. So what does that

1299
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: tell you about our media now, and I said this.

1300
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: I remember I had a conversation with Brett Bear the

1301
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: night after twenty sixteen election, and he said, what do

1302
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:38,560
Speaker 1: we miss? What do you think went wrong here? And

1303
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: I said, well, I think what we learned was that

1304
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:45,599
Speaker 1: the impact of the media, of pundits, of people living

1305
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 1: in ivory towers, of the studios of New York and

1306
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: Washington opining about what they think the country is thinking

1307
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 1: and feeling and what's important to them, they didn't get it.

1308
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 1: They didn't go to the middle of the country to

1309
01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: actually talk to people in Ohio, Wisconsin, pen Sylvania, Michigan.

1310
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: And then I remember the Hill, we did this whole

1311
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: compilation of major endorsements by newspapers of each candidate, and

1312
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 1: we found that fifty seven endorsements went to Hillary Clinton

1313
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 1: and just two to Donald Trump. You know what that

1314
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: got her? That got her a concession speech. In other words,

1315
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: people said, we don't care what you think and tell

1316
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: us how to vote. We're going to go our own way.

1317
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 1: We're going to do our own homework and to sign

1318
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 1: on which candidate we're gonna go with. So, yeah, all

1319
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: this negative coverage and every morning you see on the

1320
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: morning Joe's you see on CNN at night and they're

1321
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: hammering him, they're hammering him, and you go to mediaite

1322
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 1: and you see, Yeah, this person slammed Trump and this

1323
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,600
Speaker 1: person ripped Trump. It's having no impact because people have

1324
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,560
Speaker 1: turned it off because they're either numb to it or

1325
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 1: they don't believe the messenger. Sean gotta take a quick

1347
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking at even just the day's news,

1348
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: and I got, you know, an MSNBC guest Trump, his

1349
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: goose is cooked. He should cop a plea and resign

1350
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 1: and enjoy behark. I love this one. Maybe Aren Hatch

1351
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: needs to go to jail for supporting Trump. Um uh,

1352
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 1: Samantha by lining Fox viewers to Nazis, most white people

1353
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: are racist, she hints. And I just I watch it,

1354
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: I pay attention to it, and I've got a laugh

1355
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: because they they don't know they're in the middle of

1356
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: a feeding frenzy overreach and they've missed the whole. They've

1357
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: missed exactly what they've fallen into. The trap that Donald

1358
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 1: Trump basically couldn't have set a bigger, better trap for them.

1359
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 1: You gotta laugh, I gotta yawn, right, I see Samantha

1360
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 1: d saying, Oh, all of Fox's viewers are Nazis and

1361
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 1: the president is a Nazi. You know what, boy, that

1362
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 1: words really lost its impact now, hasn't it. And by

1363
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,720
Speaker 1: the way, it never compare anything to Nazism or to

1364
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: Hitler or the Holocaust. It could go back. I would

1365
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,200
Speaker 1: bet that ninety percent of millennials don't understand what the

1366
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Holocaust was, which was it wasn't that you were Jewish

1367
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: and your marched into a concentration camp and immediately killed.

1368
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, they actually worked you almost to death. And

1369
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 1: when you were no longer productive in terms of building

1370
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: something or just in terms of raw labor, then you

1371
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 1: were killed after you were separated from your family. So please,

1372
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:48,919
Speaker 1: you got to stop with these comparisons, because it's insulting

1373
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: to every person that knows somebody that went through that

1374
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: or as family members that they lost there. And that's

1375
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 1: the whole thing. The overreach. I mean, we might as

1376
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: well call that the theme of twenty nineteen I met.

1377
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Did you hear why you think it's going to be entertaining?

1378
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: I guess because of the whole Melton it's going to

1379
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: be entertained, because then Mike cannot control themselves. They cannot

1380
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: control themselves. It is they will expose themselves to be

1381
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 1: people that are off the rails with no intention of

1382
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: serving the American people. And that is bad politics in

1383
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: the end, and it's not going to serve them well.

1384
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: And the President's popularity is gonna rise, just like it's

1385
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 1: with Bill Clinton. And every day you'll see it, and

1386
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 1: they'll get more shrill and more angry, and we'll see

1387
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: more of it. All Right, I gotta run, Joe Contra

1388

01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 1: talk about? We should talk we talk about we should

1431
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:13,439
Speaker 1: talk about something. What do you want to talk about now?

1432
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: We should talk about the fact that you have been,

1433
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, working under duress for the last month, so

1434
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, people should know how hard you're worked and

1435
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 1: all the stuff you've done, and you know how much

1436
01:31:25,439 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: you've accomplished. Even nice, I'm not being nice. This is factual.

1437
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 1: You'll know what I'm being. It will sound weird. What

1438
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,559
Speaker 1: is the duress I've been under? Because you've been sick

1439
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 1: and coughing and hacking all over all of us, but

1440
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 1: you still come in because you're a workhorse. And I

1441
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:43,600
Speaker 1: think that it has been the worst, longest, most frustrating

1442
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 1: experience with whatever it is that's going on inside of

1443
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 1: my body, with the cold and sinuses. And yeah, it's

1444
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 1: called you won't take a day off, You don't listen

1445
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:57,360
Speaker 1: to anybody, you don't take what you're supposed to take. Well,

1446
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 1: I try to take the medicine, but it annoys me

1447
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 1: and then I can't sleep. Well, there you go. You

1448
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 1: know it's I gotta pick my poison. I'm just sure

1449
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 1: the medicine works. But you know when I stayed up

1450
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,519
Speaker 1: the entire night before the Milani interview, that there was

1451
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:14,360
Speaker 1: like forty eight hours and no sleep. But I still

1452
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 1: did a great job. Yeah, I could have done better

1453
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:18,720
Speaker 1: if I was more aware. Well, if only you had

1454
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:20,840
Speaker 1: slept and taken a day off, like some people told me. Well,

1455
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,599
Speaker 1: I used to go skiing until my son broke his leg.

1456
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 1: But um, I liked to tell you what I did.

1457
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:28,760
Speaker 1: I bought myself a Christmas gift. Do you want to

1458
01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 1: know what it is? What? Is it all right? Because

1459
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:32,960
Speaker 1: you know what do I tell you when you want

1460
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 1: to buy me something? What do I always say? Don't

1461
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:37,839
Speaker 1: buy me anything? Don't buy me anything. I don't want anything.

1462
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: Is it you know that I don't want anything? Um?

1463
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: I have you know, my my little group of shirts

1464
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 1: that Fox pays for. I don't even buy my own shirts.

1465
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't buy my own ties. I don't buy my

1466
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:50,320
Speaker 1: own jackets. I buy jeans and I have how many

1467
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:52,639
Speaker 1: How long have I been wearing those one pair of shoes?

1468
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 1: Over two years? They're called todds. Wear the same pair

1469
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 1: of shoes every day, right, these are the ones with

1470
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 1: the hole in it. No, I replaced those two years

1471
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:04,160
Speaker 1: ago with these. But they stand up and they're comfortable.

1472
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 1: So the reality is I don't wear jewelry, I don't

1473
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:10,600
Speaker 1: wear watches. There's my own personal preference because I never

1474
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 1: wanted to get caught in the trappings of stuff. Now

1475
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 1: I like to give those things to people, and I

1476
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 1: like people's reaction when you give them something that they

1477
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 1: would never get for themselves. But like for you guys,

1478
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 1: I would love to buy you all Christmas presents, But

1479
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:24,880
Speaker 1: you know what the best Christmas present I can give

1480
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:26,679
Speaker 1: you his money and that you all deserve it. Don't

1481
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 1: you think that's a better present than me going to

1482
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,639
Speaker 1: the store and picking out a scarf or a hat

1483
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: for you? I mean, diamonds are a girl's best friend.

1484
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:34,560
Speaker 1: But do what you feel? Oh? You want me to

1485
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 1: buy you diamonds? Is that what you want instead of

1486
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 1: your Christmas? I would never say that. You don't seem

1487
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:44,439
Speaker 1: like the diamond person. You really don't, because you always

1488
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 1: bragged that you get your clothes like for twelve bucks

1489
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 1: on I do. Where do you buy them? I buy

1490
01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 1: my clothes on Amazon and Walmart, and I buy my

1491
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:55,600
Speaker 1: earrings at Target. There you go. I mean, so all right,

1492
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 1: we'll take your bonus money and go buy some Oh

01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go crazy. Oh wow, Target, better watch out.

1494
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:03,719

Speaker 1: I finally, I can't take it anymore. I can't handle it.

1507
01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 1: So I okay, First of all, this is such crap

1508
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 1: because you didn't even let me begin. We literally went

1509
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: down the eye and the three of you said, stepaside,

1510
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:48,840

Speaker 1: I filled up the basket and I said let's go.

1513
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know who had to lug that all

1514
01:34:57,200 --> 01:34:59,680

01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,880
Speaker 1: a seat on Amtrak? Well, you and I got a

1519
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 1: family video of the three of you opening it up

1520
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 1: and seeing happy. All right, So anyway, that's my extent

1521
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:19,360
Speaker 1: shopping and you're like turning it over, Well, should I

1522
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 1: get this chow chow or that choo cho this choo

1523
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 1: choose three ninety nine this one. What it really comes

1524
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 1: down to is you're impatient and you didn't want away

1525
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 1: from me, so you bought everything. I like, just buy

1526
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,799
Speaker 1: the stupid trains and let's get out of here. Um anyway,

1527
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a good shopper. That's why I just I

1528
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: don't want to go shopping. Stay away. What did you

1529
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:39,880
Speaker 1: buy for yourself? Though? Nothing? Why would I buy? Said

1530
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 1: that you bought something for yourself for Christmas? That's how

1531
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:44,680
Speaker 1: we got on this side. Oh, I forgot so I

1532
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:48,640
Speaker 1: had over the years, I always loved reading tail Or

1533
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:53,240
Speaker 1: Caldwell novels, loved them. So I got a hold of

1534
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 1: one recently that I had read, Bright Flows the River,

1535
01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 1: and I liked it. I finally found tie him to

1536
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 1: do it. It means, you know, putting aside like an

1537
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: hour at night, that you actually got to focus on

1538
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 1: something else. And I bought. I went on Amazon and

1539
01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:14,439
Speaker 1: got a hardcover edition of her entire collection, and there's

1540
01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 1: lots of them. So that's what I bought myself a Christmas. Now,

1541
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,720
Speaker 1: see if you if you were a true Christian, you

1542
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 1: would have said to me, listen, I know everybody will

1543
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:25,720
Speaker 1: always ask you what to get me. This is what

1544
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 1: you can tell people to get me in Each person

1545
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:29,960
Speaker 1: could have bought one book in that collection, then I

1546
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't have had the whole collection delivered at once. Like

1547
01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:35,240
Speaker 1: it is. Again, we're back to your impatience. Okay, it's

1548
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 1: not about being listen. I don't give you. I don't

1549
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:39,800
Speaker 1: give you a bonus, so then you can take some

1550
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 1: of the bonus money and wonder what to get the boss.

1551
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't want anything. I already got you something. Oh what,

1552
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 1: It's much better than a book. Not that there's anything

1553
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:53,880
Speaker 1: wrong with books? Was it? Was? It expensive? It was ridiculous.

1554
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:56,759
Speaker 1: You're wasting your money. I'm going to return it. Okay,

1555
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:01,759
Speaker 1: Well you can't, Yes, I can't. I can do it, Ethan,

1556
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 1: Do you know what it is? I have no idea

1557
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 1: what you Well? Do you get me a bunch of stuff?

1558
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:11,599
Speaker 1: All right? If I have to carry this junk home tonight,

1559
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:14,599
Speaker 1: I'm not kid. First of all, just apologize. Do knockholl

1560
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 1: gifts you have not even opened yet, junk. Okay. My

1561
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 1: family hates on Christmas Day because they hand me like

1562
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 1: shirts and I like, oh, that's really nice, and then

1563
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 1: I hand it to Tim when everyone's not looking, or

1564
01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 1: I handed the sweet Baby James when nobody's looking. I'm like,

1565
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 1: I know everybody, it's frustrating because I don't really want anything.

1566
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 1: I never wanted to get caught up in the in

1567
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 1: the trap of stuff in life. Does that make sense?

1568
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 1: And I have you know, I drive the same car

1569
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:43,240
Speaker 1: I've been driving for fifteen years. Your clothes speak loudly

1570
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:45,120
Speaker 1: off not wanting to get caught up in those sorts

1571
01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:48,639
Speaker 1: of things. Yeah, but but everybody's complained about my clothing,

1572
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 1: so Fox has been buying me new shirts every day.

1573
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 1: Let's do a poll of our coolers and they ask

1574
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 1: them what they think about your non materialistic ways. All right,

1575
01:37:56,360 --> 01:38:00,200
Speaker 1: let's do it, Chad. Anyway, is what's more important life?

1576
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 1: Is it giving or receiving? I prefer to give gifts

1577
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 1: them receive them giving, absolutely, and you get more joy

1578
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 1: out of the giving. Right When you see a little

1579
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 1: boys a slight up on a Christmas gift, it means

1580
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:16,360
Speaker 1: the world, especially in your parents too. It's it's uh,

1581
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 1: it's the reason for the season exactly like you know,

1582
01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 1: for example, Um, I got Linda a gift one year

1583
01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 1: she never would have bought for herself, right, Linda, that

1584
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:31,120
Speaker 1: is very true. And it's something you use pretty regularly

1585
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 1: every day, every day. All right, it's a bicycle. It's hilarious.

1586
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:39,960
Speaker 1: All right. Mike in Minnesota. What do you think, Mike, Well,

1587
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 1: I called in to talk about this border wall funding

1588
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,599
Speaker 1: that Pelosian Truman. Mike, Mike, Mike, that's not what we're

1589
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:50,720
Speaker 1: talking about right now. We have a question. I want

1590
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:52,320
Speaker 1: to talk about whether or not you think it's giving

1591
01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: or receiving the call. The call screener asked me to

1592
01:38:58,280 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: get right to my place. I know, but we just

1593
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,760
Speaker 1: switched it up a little bit, asked me, I want

1594
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,679
Speaker 1: to talk this. And I've heard you guys over the years,

1595
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:09,479
Speaker 1: you know, berrate your callers if they don't have their topics.

1596
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 1: So I didn't want I didn't want to be in there.

1597
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,720
Speaker 1: This is taking a very non holiday turn. I gotta say, yeah,

1598
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: my god, we want we want to put you in

1599
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:17,599
Speaker 1: a better, happier place here. We're gonna send you something

1600
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 1: for Christmas, because what are you guys doing to the callers.

1601
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 1: Why would you burate the callers that there are customers.

1602
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:26,280
Speaker 1: You gotta bever, Mike that I know of. All Right, Hey,

1603
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:33,560
Speaker 1: all right, Mike, talk about it. I'm talking about I

1604
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 1: am man. Hey, that's not what you called in the talk.

1605
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 1: I've also heard Mark Levin say that too, So I

1606
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 1: didn't want to be in that club. That's funny. Um,

1607
01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:47,519
Speaker 1: you get the Caller of the Day award, you'd stumped

1608
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 1: the host. I mean that's hard to do. Um. Okay,

1609
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 1: well I'm gonna try again here. Okay, go ahead on

1610
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 1: this one. Well anyways, Um, one of the options that, uh,

1611
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 1: that President Trump might have to choose would be to

1612
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: use the military and build that wall to clare a

1613
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: national security issue. So I was sitting there and I'm thinking, well,

1614
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, if you take an account all of the

1615
01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 1: business activity Donald Trump has done throughout his life forty

1616
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 1: plus years, and all of the tax money he's been

1617
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:27,640
Speaker 1: responsible for contributing to government, well that number adds up

1618
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 1: way more than five billion dollars. And he's in a

1619
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,360
Speaker 1: unique position to point that out to Schumer and Pelosi.

1620
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:38,960
Speaker 1: But I know he wouldn't, so I'm trying of hoping

1621
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:42,960
Speaker 1: you do the PA. The Pentagon said yesterday that they

1622
01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 1: would support the President for national security reasons and appropriate

1623
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:49,600
Speaker 1: the funds to build a wall. I think it's going

1624
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 1: to end up going that way, that's my guess, and

1625
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 1: because there is Look, we've got drugs, human trafficking, terrorists,

1626
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,800
Speaker 1: some you know, and some very bad people crossing that border.

1627
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 1: We've got to protect the American people. Well, that is

1628
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: what the Department of Defense is about, defending the American people.

1629
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there'll be any legitimate court challenge. They

1630
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 1: have the right to appropriate that money anyway they want.

1631
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:18,559
Speaker 1: We got a significant increase in our defense budget because

1632
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:21,680
Speaker 1: the President fought hard for it, and it's important that

1633
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 1: we have the biggest, baddest, toughest military in a world

1634
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 1: full of evil. So I think that's probably the way

1635
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:30,560
Speaker 1: it's going to end up going eventually. I don't know

1636
01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 1: when though, Yeah, I think so too. But my point

1637
01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:38,639
Speaker 1: is is that the money, the tax money that would

1638
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: be used to build the wall to five billion dollars, Well,

1639
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:46,080
Speaker 1: President Trump himself is responsible for paying that into government

1640
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:50,760
Speaker 1: in the first place, so technically it's his money. Well,

1641
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: it's all of our money. I mean, it's at the

1642
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:56,680
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's got to get done. And

1643
01:41:57,120 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 1: in the President's right by saying we've got to take

1644
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:03,000
Speaker 1: a stand here and this is worth the fight, and

1645
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,960
Speaker 1: Republicans need to understand this is why they were elected.

1646
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 1: And if they don't fight for any if you're not

1647
01:42:08,439 --> 01:42:11,360
Speaker 1: going to fight over fear of a shutdown with Obama's

1648
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:13,960
Speaker 1: president and then Trump as president, then that means you're

1649
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 1: unwilling to take the strong stand that's needed to be

1650
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 1: a leader, and you probably don't belong there. You know,

1651
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:21,639
Speaker 1: we do have people that would lead in not bat

1652
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:26,679
Speaker 1: an eyelash over such a thing. Appreciate it, Listen, Merry Christmas,
