1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: This is the Sean Hannity Show podcast. All right, you know,

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: so much on the Republican side now depends on math

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: delegate counts, and we've been focusing on that now and

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: then in in light of what happened on Tuesday, the

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: five states sweep by Trump, I want to focus on

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: something today. Now, maybe if you if you begin to

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: point out that on Tuesday, Trump won every county in

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: every state, all five of them that had an election Maryland, Connecticut,

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania, mid Atlantic Northeastern states. Now, his

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: victory was that dominant, that complete, So that helped his

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: math out a lot. Now, everyone expected Trump to win

12
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: those five states, but it was the margins of victory

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: that that stood out. Here he outperformed expectations that were

14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: already high. And the mostly untold story is what we

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: have focused in on even before the race began, which

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: was Pennsylvania, which has one of the most confusing ballots

17
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: in the country. And you folks in Pennsylvania need to

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: fix this. It's a mess anyway. So how well he

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: did among the fifty four previously uncommitted delegates. Now there's

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: an analyst, Philip Kurpin, who was on our program a

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: while back among the first to point out that among

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: the fifty four district delegates, well, he pointed out the

23
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight or now publicly committed to Trump, only three

24
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: committed to Cruise. And when you look at those leaning

25
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: of those committed to supporting the winner of the district um,

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: the total increases to probably closer to thirty eight for Trump,

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: four for Cruise, four for case like eight others uncommitted.

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: I have it a little higher than that, which means

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: that Trump is right at a thousand delegates at this

30
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: particular point in time. Remember the magic number one, two

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven, that's that's the number that matters.

32
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: That is the so called magic number this year. So

33
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: this was the first state I think you can say

34
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: that on the ground game side, the Trump actually dominated

35
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania like he had not before. So those delegates

36
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: are not factored into the delegate total you may have Trump.

37
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: As of yesterday, using Rose Tenants numbers, we had one

38
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: thousand and one delegates for Trump, all right, So that's

39
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: a pretty big number. So Trump is in better shape

40
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: than what you're reading in the papers because these people

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: are committed now to this people have been saying, and

42
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: I've been saying, Indiana, which holds its primary on Tuesday's

43
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: key because they've got fifty seven delegates. It is key.

44
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: But because Trump did so well in Pennsylvania among the

45
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: uncommitted delegates, remember saying, you get seventeen delegates in Pennsylvania

46
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: for winning the state, fifty four were uncommitted on bound

47
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: and then remember on the back you didn't vote for

48
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: the actual candidate Trump cruise case that you've voted for

49
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: a delegate by name. And we went through the effort

50
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: of finding out who the delegates were going to support,

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: and then people ended up and some people said they

52
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: would just support who the winner was and represent the

53
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: will of the district at least on the first ballot.

54
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: So that's how we not now get there. So because

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: Trump did so well in Pennsylvania, the uncommitted delegates he has,

56
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: he has given himself some cushion here should he lose Indiana.

57
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Although the polls there are three polls out one it

58
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 1: has Trump plus five, one has plunged Trump plus eight,

59
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: one was Trump plus six. So a lot of scenarios

60
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: being discussed for understandable reasons. Nate Cone of the New

61
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: York Times sees things this way. In the remaining ten states,

62
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: this is now objective analysis. This is just I'm not

63
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you. I'm sort of like calling the

64
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: game here. Um, Trump is safe, pretty safe bet in

65
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: New Jersey and West Virginia. So he'll probably win about

66
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: seventy of those contests and perhaps many is as many

67
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: as eighty five. Uh, he'll win all of New Jersey.

68
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: West Virginia has their own funky system. So that's that's

69
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: in play a little bit more than you might think.

70
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: I'll get to that when the time comes. But Trump

71
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: could then win a further forty delegates or more from

72
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: three states that award delegates proportionally, the two West coast

73
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: states of Washington, Oregon, and well also West coast New Mexico,

74
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: and he's likely to garner a pretty healthy share of

75
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: delegates in those states whether he wins or not their

76
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: proportional distribution of delegates now. Also, Trump is an underdog

77
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: in three winner take all states in the West and

78
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: in the plains areas Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska. So that

79
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: leaves Indiana California as the most competitive remaining contests and

80
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: the ones with the most delegates at stakes, so neither

81
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: state is thought to be as strong for Trump as

82
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: the Five States war on Tuesday. But Trump has led

83
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: in every poll conducted in the two states since March,

84
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: and they have a combined two nine pledged delegates, and

85
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: they've awarded winner take all statewide and congressional district. For example,

86
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: Indiana winner you get thirty. If you win the state,

87
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: then it's by congressional district. I know this gets confusing

88
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: and a little annoying, but it is the system that

89
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: politicians have designed. What can you expect? And as for California,

90
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics average poles, Trump is leading by almost

91
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: eighteen points forty five point seven and twenty eight point

92
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: three for cruise eighteen KIK California. The big prize big

93
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: delegate prize of a hundred and seventy two at stake

94
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: is winner take all by district. One blogger on hot

95
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: air dot Com put it it's not implausible that Trump

96
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: would take a hundred and thirty three or a hundred

97
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: forty eight delegates from California alone and clinch the nomination

98
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: even if he gets nothing from Indiana. And if Trump

99
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: wins Indiana, which would let him a minimum of thirty delegates,

100
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: he'd barely need to break a hundred in californ Warnia

101
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: to clinch the nomination before the GOP convention in July.

102
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: Uh The the pundit Alipundan summarizes things this way. Before yesterday,

103
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: next week's voting, Indiana was set to be a decisive

104
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: moment on the way to a broker convention. If CRUs

105
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: won the state, the conventional wisdom went that Trump wouldn't

106
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: realistically get to twelve thirty seven with the delegates left

107
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: on the board, and we'd be set for a floor fight. Now,

108
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: what's at stake in Indiana is simply just makes it

109
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: harder for Trump, And if Cruise wins, he gets another

110
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: shot at stopping Trump somewhere in California on June seven.

111
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: If Cruiz loses, um at least these people from their

112
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: math standpoint, I again, I'm giving you analysis here. It's

113
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: it's next to impossible at that point probably to stop it,

114
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: uh stop stop Trump getting from twelve thirty seven to

115
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: twelve thirty seven. So that explains the Cruise caseing non

116
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: aggression packed which appears to be falling apart. It probably

117
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: explains why Senator Cruz picked Carle Fierina to be Cruzes

118
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: running mate if he wins the nomination, and it probably

119
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: explains why Cruz left for Indiana before last Tuesday's vote.

120
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: While he's kind of camped out in the Hoosier state,

121
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: we will be with him and Carley tomorrow. There So

122
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Indiana's door died for Cruz specifically and the anti Trump

123
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: forces generally. So it's no longer mandatory for Trump to

124
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 1: win that state. But let me say a word about

125
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: this that's making the rounds today. Last night, David Kennedy,

126
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: there's a guy at Stanford University. He had a conversation

127
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: with John Bayner, Professor. Kennedy asked Bayner to be frank,

128
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: and the former speaker responded in kind when specifically asked

129
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: his opinions on Ted Cruz. Bayner made a face and

130
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: he drew laughter from the crowd, and then he said,

131
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: lucifer in the flesh about Senator Ted Cruz quote. I

132
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: have Democratic friends, I have Republican friends. I get along

133
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: with almost everyone, But I have never worked with a

134
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: more miserable s ob in my life. Now this is

135
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: what really pisces me off. I just got done spending

136
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: a half hour in this program talking about that if

137
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: you look at the seventeen candidates, and you look beyond

138
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: the seventeen candidates, and I don't count John Bayner in

139
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: this group, talking more like people like Rudy Giuliani and

140
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: New King Rich and some others that are not in

141
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: politics currently. We have such a deep bench of intellectual

142
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: firepower that if we were to unite at the end

143
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: of the day, you add in Rubio with Trump, and

144
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: and Cruise with Trump, and and k Sik and Cruise

145
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: and Trump and Rubio and Rick Perry, and you add

146
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: him to the mix, and Bobby Gendle to the mix,

147
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: and Nicki Halley to the mix, and Scott Walker to

148
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: the mix, and Paul Ryan to the mix. And you know,

149
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: maybe not there's no universal out here. But if they

150
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: came together, and if Paul Ryan, who I had spoken

151
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: to some time ago on the program, follows through on

152
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: a positive Contract with America style agenda that deals with

153
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: basically the Conservative solution Caucus that I built, there is

154
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: a chance we could actually unite for the purpose of

155
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: saving the country. I know that might sound absolutely pollyannish,

156
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: pie in the sky like thinking to you, but one

157
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: has got to hope. We've got to try, don't we.

158
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: So many other people have sacrificed so much for us

159
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: to give us this opportunity, and so many people are

160
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: underwater and suffering and one paycheck away from absolute misery

161
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: and poverty and unhappiness. It's just horrible. So you know,

162
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: New Gingridge had, it's it's going to be the job

163
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: of whoever gets this nomination to bring the party together.

164
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna happen. Some programming notes tonight Live Hannity

165
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: ten o'clock. There is a big Trump speech out in California,

166
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: will probably end up carrying a lot of that, and

167
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: then tomorrow we'll have we'll do an Indiana town hall

168
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: with Cruz and Carly. Details are on my website Hannity

169
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, let's go to Michael Is in

170
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: Minneapolis and Minnesota up first today this Thursday edition of

171
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: The Shawan Hannity Show. How are you good? Thank you,

172
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Mr Hannity. It is crucial your way of thinking, it's

173
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: not pine in this guy. It is crucial the American

174
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: people unite because I tell you, our neighborhood in Rochester, Minnesota,

175
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: has already been taken over by refugees from Somali over

176
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: the last six years. My wife and I got our

177
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: concealed carry permits. She's a doctor at the number one

178
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: hospital in the world. I can't mention the name. Uh,

179
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: your your co your employee told me, but it's Obama's

180
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: favorite hospital and they don't accept Obamacare. But she works there.

181
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: And it's frightening where concealing where concealed carry carriers. We

182
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: don't feel like our government wants to protect us. We've

183
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: moved neighborhoods because of all the government housing that stopped

184
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: up in the area. Our kids are twenty kids behind

185
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: in the school bus now, and let me tell you,

186
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: they're not Americans. They're standing behind and it's shameful. It's embarrassing,

187
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: and we must unite as American people, I hope. So

188
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: this may be our last shot, you know, maybe we'll

189
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: have to really maybe we'll have to really appreciate. I

190
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: really appreciate you taking my call a longtime fans. Thank

191
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: you there and I both love and a doy yourself

192
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you so much, Michael. It means a lot. Uh.

193
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Lisa is in Fisher's, Indiana, will be in Indiana tomorrow.

194
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: How are you? What's up, Lisa? Hi? Sean's going on? Darling,

195
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: how are you great? Great? By the way, if I

196
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: was in the workforce and I said, thank you, darling,

197
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: come on all over here. But you know that's probably

198
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: a suitable offense. But go ahead soon, heartbeat there. Hey,

199
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: I just want to say I attended Grettis town all yesterday. Yeah.

200
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: It was good, wasn't it? Oh it was? It was electric. Um.

201
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: But my point is that the question if Gretta, if

202
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: if Trump would hire Gretta to work in his administration,

203
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: that was pretty funny. She's she's phenomenal. She's just phenomenal.

204
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: And I couldn't believe how tiny she is. But anyway,

205
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: you know what people say about it that I look

206
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: that I look younger, skinnier, um, and taller in person.

207
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: So all my answers, I look like an old, fat

208
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: short guy on TV. Well they say TV does it

209
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: at about fifty pounds at least. I'm telling you all right,

210
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, I want to interrupt you. Go ahead, but hey,

211
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: I just want to say, um, you know, after the

212
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: media is a narrative that Trump doesn't have the female vote.

213
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: Is cruck. More than half the audience yesterday, and half

214
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: the people waiting in line around to city blocks to

215
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: get into the town hall consisted of females. We just

216
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Donald just has a respect to women, and even in

217
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: talking to women who even women from Chicago who came down,

218
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: women who came from northern Indiana. It's it's just amazing.

219
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's so straightforward and he speaks from the heart,

220
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: and women love them. I love them. It's gonna be

221
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: very interesting. I I this campaign general election campaign has

222
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: not begun yet. We've got to get through this process.

223
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to get the nomination. When that happens, I'm

224
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: hoping that a lot of this hostility eventually falls off.

225
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: If not, then we'll probably pay a price in November,

226
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe I'll just turn this into the

227
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: Howard Stern Show. We'll talk about sex and strippers. I

228
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: don't know, because it won't be worth talking about saving

229
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: the country for a while if if she as elected president.

230
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Lisa. Melenda is in North Carolina.

231
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: We have a minute. Melinda, how are you glad you called? Um?

232
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. I think that what Ted

233
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Cruz needs to do is just right this minute stepped

234
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: down instead of continuing on. I think that he could

235
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: unite the party by stepping down now telling his delegates

236
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: to go support Trump, and then he looks like a

237
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: big hero, unites the party, he becomes a big hero,

238
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: he gives the Republican's time to get ready for the

239
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: fight in November. Instead what he probably will be if

240
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: he continues on, he'll be a SoundBite and of Clinton

241
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: commercial and then he looks like a villain and couldn't

242
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: be elected. Dogs. If if Senator Cruz, um, I respect

243
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: him like a lot, doesn't win Indiana, I would actually

244
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: say the responsibility of uniting the party is going to

245
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: be at that point, it would be Donald Trump's. And

246
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: if I was Donald Trump, I'd say that Senator Cruz,

247
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: I want you in my administration or you would be

248
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: my first Supreme Court justice pick. That's what I would say. Now,

249
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm only saying that again if he doesn't win Indiana.

250
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: If he wins Indiana, the game goes on. I think

251
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: without Indiana he has a very tough time, so it's

252
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: a big, big focus for his campaign. Um, but I

253
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: think I think new it was right last night. Whoever wins,

254
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: it's their responsibility to unite people, and then mentioned you

255
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: know Rick Perry and Bobby Jendall and Marco Rubio and

256
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: Scott Walker and all these other great people that you

257
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: can bring in and make a team. I kind of

258
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: like the team concept. But anyway, Melinda, great, thanks for

259
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: the call. Appreciate. By the way, I'm gonna give you

260
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: Sherry's Bury's you there, and I really love your TV

261

262
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: well presidential candidate Mr. Nine nine nine. That would be

263
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: Herman Kane. By the way, do you know my name?

264
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: Do you know your name is Herman Kane? Do you

Speaker 1: on my show, but my own name. Do you even

268
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: know when you're on my show? I do now, I practice.

269
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: I told you I got it right, and you've been

270
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Carson last night. I don't say all right. Let's go

271
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: to Ben Caane from Atlanta? I mean Dr Ben Caine.

272
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: What is what are you doing to me? Good to

273
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: be with you? Man? How are you my friend? I

274
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: can't tell you? Uh? Shane? Ye? Look, I talked to

275
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: Shane every day on my radio show. You gotta give

276
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: me a little bit of slag. Oh man, I don't

277
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: know about that. My friend. That clip that you paid

278
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: played said it all. It is insanely ridiculous that these

279
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: anti Trump people are digging in their heels. And like

280
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: I said at the end of the clip, if Hillary

281
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: Clinton gets elected president because Trump will did not the nomination,

282
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: it's their fault. I'm putting them on notice. I feel

283
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: that's strongly about it, and a few of the people

284
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: do also. I think it's gonna be Look, it looks

285
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: like it looks like now and Indiana is going to

286
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: tell a very big story next week. It looks like

287
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has that he has the path and it's

288
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: going to be up to the voters in Indiana and

289
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: and subsequent states New Jersey, West, Virginia, and we all

290
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: know the states Nebraska, and then of course going into California.

291
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: So the question is, I I cannot for the life

292
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: of me, and maybe you can explain it, because you're

293
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: probably getting the same type of social media attacks that

294
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: I am and emails that I'm getting. And I pay

295
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: attention to people because I care about my audience and

296
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: I know you care about yours. But I don't understand

297
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: never Cruiz, I don't understand never Trump. I don't understand.

298
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm staying home. I don't understand at all why people

299
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: are creating the circuit a firing squad, because maybe they

300
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: haven't realized yet the ramifications are the consequences of a

301
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Hillary presidency. During this primary, they're still focus on destroying

302
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: each other, and that's unfortunate. You've got the Crew supporters

303
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: trying to destroy Trump. You've got the Trump supporters trying

304
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: to destroy Cruise and Casey, and on and on and on. Hopefully,

305
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: once we get through this primary process, then they will

306
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: understand the magnitude of trying to beat Hillary for the

307
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: presidency in November. Only time will tell, all right, I

308
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: want to know this. Look, I understand we started out

309
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: with seventeen people, and I remember following you closely when

310
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: you ran in and and and there was a period

311
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: there where you were in the lead, and then I

312
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: we all know now, as a matter of fact, it's

313
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: not even it's incontrovertible that the attacks against you were vicious,

314
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: false lies, narratives that were advanced. I'm sure that hurt

315
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: you personally, but it also impacted your place in the race,

316
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: and I thought it was extremely unfair you had I

317
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of momentum leading up to that, but

318
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: then the process ends, and for a lot of people

319
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: that support a candidate, they seemed to be having a

320
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: tough time emotionally dealing with the fact that their guy lost.

321
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: How did you deal with it? Because you're very magnanimous.

322
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: One of the things I love about being around you.

323
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: I can't be around you without hearing that that laugh

324
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: of yours and and just having a great old time.

325
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, You're just a lot of fun to be around.

326
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: But I'm sure it was pretty painful for a while.

327
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: It was the way I dealt with it was I

328
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: explained to my supporters that my family and the lies

329
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: and the hurt that it caused my family was more

330
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: important than me continuing to stay in the race. Secondly,

331
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: because some people in the media didn't do their job.

332
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: If they had done their job, Sean, if they had

333
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: done their job, they would have determined that one of

334
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 1: the accusers was paid directly to read the statement against me.

335
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Another accuser, if they had done their job, was found

336
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: guilty in a court of law in Georgia of lying

337
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: against a business partner. They didn't want to go that far.

338
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: All they lashed onto was a frenzy to try and

339
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: bring down Herman Kine. I didn't have the financial resources

340
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: to fight lawsuits in three instances while I was running

341
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: for president. That's why I had to drop out. The

342
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: only candidate for president running for president in the Republican

343
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: primary that talked to me before he declared this may

344
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: not surprise as you well, Donald Trump. And when Donald

345
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Trump talked to me, he asked me what should I

346
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: look out for? The only advice I keep Donald Trump,

347
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: let me guess, look out for the attacks, looking out

348
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: for the boom, and be prepared for multiple lawsuits. This

349
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: is what I said to Donald Trump. Be and I said, Donald,

350
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: you have the money to fight multiple lawsuits while do

351
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: you run for president. I didn't have that kind of

352
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: money to fight multiple lawsuits while I was running for president.

353
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: That's all I told him. I didn't talk to him

354
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: anything about domestic policy, foreign policy. It wasn't about that.

355
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: It was about giving him a heads up of how

356
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: he's going to be attacked. Now Here's what I didn't know, Sean.

357
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know that the Republican establishment was going to

358
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: be one of those that came after him. That's what

359
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: I am frustrated and disgusted about. What do you tell

360
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: your audience because you're a conservative, I'm a concern pervative.

361
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: I think you've taken the same position as me. You're

362
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: not endorsing, is that correct? Correct? Okay? But you had

363
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: your six favorites, you called them right, yes, yes, okay.

364
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: So when people ask you, well, is Donald Trump a conservative?

365
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: How do you answer that? It doesn't matter? Labels are

366
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: the things that the media and the liberals used to

367
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: try and pigeonhole candidates. Don't focus on the labels. Push

368
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: the labels aside, and listen for what it is that

369
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: you want to hear from that candidate. And you have

370
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: you interviewed him a lot? I did. He's been on

371
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: my radio show twice. Yes. And here's the thing. If

372
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: you look at the results of just Tuesday alone in

373
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: those five states, what that says to me, which is

374
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: different from the message that you're getting from the liberal media,

375
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: is that people look past the political noise. I said

376
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: months ago. People are voting for a leader, a fighter,

377
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: and a winner. That's what they're looking for. They are

378
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: not focusing on all of the noise that's coming from

379
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: some of the liberal media and from the other Canada,

380
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at that. That's why he continues to surge.

381
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: And I happen to believe, and I don't like to

382
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: make predictions, he is going to surge in Indiana for

383
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: the same reasons. What are your thoughts then, on Senator

384
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: Cruz at this point? At this point, Senator Cruise was

385
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: one of my original pick six. So if he were

386
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: to get the nomination, which I don't think he's going

387
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: to get it on the first ballot and maybe not

388
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: on the second, I would still be able to support him.

389
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: I happen to thing that he has been misguided on

390
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: some of his strategy in terms of how to get

391
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: the nomination. And here's what I mean, his strategy after today,

392
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: I watched a couple of his interviews, watched a couple

393
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: of the speeches given by Cardiff Arena has been all

394
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: about stopping Trump. I think that's a flaw strategy. His

395
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: strategy ought to be Here's why I'm the better candidate.

396
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: But see that political consultants don't tell them that that.

397
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Political consultants always tell them go on the attack, go negative,

398
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: that's how you win. I don't believe. So. Like when

399
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: I call you in eight years from now and say

400
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run for president, what advice were you gonna

401
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 1: give me? First of all, I'm gonna say, don't do it.

402
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: If you determined to do it, here are a few

403
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: thinks said I would get ready for the attack us.

404
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: Remember Sean, I went through that same moment of insanity. Okay, no,

405
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in eight years. I understand. But if

406
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: you decide to run, what I'm gonna say is number one,

407
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: make sure that you are clear on your message and

408
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: stick to it. Number two, you gotta be care for

409
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: who you surround yourself with. You can't trust everybody just

410
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: because they have political experience on that resume. This is

411
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: what's happening to John Kasick. In my opinion, John Kasick

412
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: had some people who have been in politics for a

413
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: long time. That's fine, But guess what John, All of

414
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: his senior advisors worked for losers. Why did they lose?

415
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: They lost because they use the typical political consultant advice

416
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: of do negative and attack people. Now, to John Kasicks credit,

417
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: he has said he was not going to get down

418
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: in the go and no. But everybody but Herman, You

419
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: and I both know. Everyone says, oh, they hate negative ads,

420
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: but they work. Everyone says, oh, you can't go negative,

421
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: but it works. It's just the reality of people don't

422
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: want to spend the energy of trying to be creative

423
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: enough to create positive ads. That's why they say that, Well,

424
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: it is funny. I mean, after all those time, I mean,

425
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: how many times a day to you here, it's not

426
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: just me that says that, I'm sure right, And what

427
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm seeing is the reason that they'd say that it

428
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: works is because sometimes it does. But they don't keep

429
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: track of the times that it doesn't work. Sean, They

430
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: don't ask you this question it doesn't work. Look at

431
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: all Canadas that have lost because they went down that

432
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: road and they stayed and lost. They only tell you

433
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: that because of the few instances where the negative advertising works.

434
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: I don't think negative advertising is going to get Cruise

435
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: the nomination in this case, because let me ask this question.

436
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: Let's just put aside, they're not They're not buying that

437
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: stuff this time. I also think that people want an outsider,

438
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: and that was evidenced on Tuesday night. That was one

439
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: of the number one questions and indianimal way. And next,

440
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: here's what I've been saying. No one person you were

441
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: in what Godfather's Pizza? You are a top executive at PEPSI.

442
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: What are the big companies that drive top executive that

443
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: I was worked for? Coca Cola? I worked executive with

444
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: the Pillsber Company, Bernstein Corporate. Yes, all right, so I

445
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: got wrong. Boy, that's almost sacrilegious. If you work for

446
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: Coke and I said Pepsi, geez, you had to of

447
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: course you have to correct me. Sorry, I don't have

448
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: your your your resume et. Okay, oh do you say something? Okay,

449
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: not exactly. But here's my question. We have people like

450
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: Herman Kane out there, and Ben Carson out there, and

451
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: Rick Perry out there, and John Kasick out there, and

452
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: Scott Walker and Nicky Haley and Bobby Jendal and and

453
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: all of these great you know, New King Rich Rudy Juliani.

454
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: Why do I think that you know, no one president

455
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: can run the country. You need a team around you.

456
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: You can't do a great radio show if you don't

457
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: have Pete Spriggs and and all the people that worked

458
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: for you. So and it's the same with me. And

459
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: my radio and television show. Don't you think a united

460
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: sort of like the united stars of the Republican Party

461
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: and conservative movement, if they unite together, we could actually

462
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: really save this country? Or am i or am I

463
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: living in a fantasy world? Absolutely? Now you're not in

464
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: a fantasy world. If you look at the seventeen people

465
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: that started out in the Repolcan primary race, there is

466
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: a lot of talent there that's been out there campaigning.

467
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: If whoever the nominee is doesn't tap into that, I

468
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: think it would be a mistake. Secondly, you have a

469
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: lot of conservative, very talented people wanting to serve this country.

470
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: They just have to be smart enough to surround themselves

471
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: with some of those people, not necessarily political operatives, because

472
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: that's been the problem. I think that we have a

473
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: humongous opportunity. This is why I go back to my

474
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: first point. Those people that are part of the never

475
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: Trump or the anti Trump campaign, they're doing a disservice

476
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: to the Republican Party, and they're doing it a disservice

477
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: to the United States of America. Because this is critical,

478
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: really is that's it's far more severe. Um, all right,

479
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: have you seen our friends lately. I talked to him

480
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: yesterday on AM. He is as onerous and chorus as ever.

481
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: I am telling you, he's like a teenager inside a

482
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: seventy year old man's body. It's unbelievable. And listen, I

483
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of live vicariously through his madness. But it's it's fun,

484
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: all right, Herman, We love you. I do have a

485
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: message for all you feminists out there who applauded the

486
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Obama administration when they made women eligible for combat. You

487
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: know Barney Rubble and what's his name, Fred Flintstone. That's

488
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: a that's the whole gender card thing that Trump and

489
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton will get into if if it's those two candidates.

490
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 1: But anyway, once they removed the restrictions against women serving

491
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: in combat, well guess what, there's no longer any logistical

492
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: basis now to exclude women from the draft. Now, look,

493
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't care if you call Barney Rubble. I don't

494
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: care if you call me bam, bam. You can call

495
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: me Fred Flintstone. Linda, why are you smiling? Because it's true.

496
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: But if somebody breaks into my house, I view it

497
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: as my job to say, you guys hide here, you

498
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: guys call n one and I will deal with what's

499
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: ever out there or down there. Oh, Hannity, that's because

500
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: you're sexist. No it's not. I just you know what's

501
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: wrong with acknowledging a simple truth. Look, unless you're Rhonda Rousey,

502
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: who is an exceptionally strong woman, or any of the

503
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: women of m M A uh, the reality is men

504
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: are generally speaking, there are exceptions physically stronger than men.

505
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: And if you're talking about combat or any type of

506
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: physical confrontation, I don't think it's old fashioned for men

507
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: to take on that role. Anyway. Under the new rules,

508
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: eighteen year old women, uh could be yanked off the

509
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: cheerleading squad and drafted into the infantry, whether or not

510
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: your daughters like it or not. I wonder if this

511
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: may raise issues for the campaign anyway. Political put out

512
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: In a new twist in the debate over women in

513
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: combat the combat, the House Arm Services Committee yesterday late

514
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: last night adopted a proposal to require that women register

515
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: for the selective Service in the event that we have

516
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: a military draft. Now that's a proposal that it's GOP

517
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: sponsor who actually voted against it, intended to make a

518
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: point about, and that was women serving in the front lines.

519
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: This is Duncan Hunter, by the way, who we like

520
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: a lot on this program. It was a marathon session.

521
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: They were crafting a new defense policy bill. The panel

522
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: backed Duncan Hunter's amendment by a vote of thirty two

523
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: to thirty and by his own admission, he doesn't not

524
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: actually intend to include women and a draft and voted

525
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: down his own amendment. And then he opposed the Pentagon's

526
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: decision to open all bad jobs to women earlier this year,

527
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: and has argued that his colleagues have failed to fully

528
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: account for the implications of the shift. I've talked to

529
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: coffee house liberals in San Francisco, conservative families who pray

530
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: three times a day, he said, during the markup of

531
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: the Defense Authorization Act, which set several overall policies for

532
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: the armed forces, and neither of those groups wants their

533
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: daughters to be drafted. And by the way, neither do I.

534
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: I want to make a point about this. Let's go

535
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: to World War two. America is hit by the Japanese

536
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: of Pearl Harbor. Half our navy is taken out in

537
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: that attack. We weren't prepared for it. Um America's entrance

538
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: into World War two became a national effort. Yes, the

539
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: men were on the front lines. The men were slamming

540
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: the beaches of Normandy. The men were taking on the

541
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: Nazis and Imperial Japan. The men were doing the fighting.

542
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: But without the equipment in the arms and munitions and everything,

543
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: the tanks and the planes that were being made and

544
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: manufactured oftentimes by women back in America, they would not

545
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: have been able to do their jobs. And when when

546
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: this conflict beat this battle, defeat that modern day evil.

547
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: So it does does one role make it you? You

548
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: cannot have success? I was mentioned in this yesterday, there's

549
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: no one person as president that can successfully governor nation.

550
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: It's a team that a person will build around them.

551
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: And if you have the right people, and I was

552
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: talking about the deep bench within the Republican Party, and

553
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: that's successful governors, some of whom ran for president, others

554
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: who didn't. I mean, would you not want a Rudy

555
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Giuliani maybe as the attorney general prosecuting Hillary Clinton? You know,

556
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: do you not want to tap into the genius that

557
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: is form Speaker of the House new Gang Rich? Do

558
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: you not want to tap into the success people like

559
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: Scott Walker or John Kaysake or or Governor Rick Perry

560
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: or Bobby Jindall I mean, or Nicky Haley or any

561
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 1: of these Republicans that actually did great jobs by governing

562
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: conservatively in their home states. So I was talking about that.

563
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: So anyway, just this is this is where your your

564
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: modern day feminist movement has brought us to. All right,

565
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: let's get to our busy telephones here. Let's say, how

566
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: does Steve is in State college in Pennsylvania? Steve Hi,

567
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Hey? Sean? Great talking

568
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: with you. See, I had two quick points. First of all,

569
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: the delicate list you posted on your website was really

570
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: important here in Pennsylvania. He came down pretty close to

571
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: the whire you here and a lot of us were

572
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: worrying about which delegates to vote for. So number one,

573
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: thank you very much for posting affirmation on website. And

574
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: by the way, we did that for everybody supporting any anidate. Now,

575
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: it does turn out that of the fifty four that

576
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump did get the majority of those unbound delegates,

577
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: at least on the first round of balloting, So he's

578
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: much closer to a thousand delegates than what is being

579
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: reported in the paper. Second of all, what is really important?

580
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: And you talked to a lot of prominent Republicans, and

581
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: I think this question has to be asked, now, do

582
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: they hate Donald Trump more than they loved their country

583
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: because the consequences of our Republican and obviously it looks

584
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump not winning the White House disastrous for

585
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: this entire country for generations to come. So I'd really

586
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: be interested in the answer to that question is when

587
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: he talked to these never Trump Republicans. Look, I think

588
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: it's a bad idea. Um. Republicans in d C have

589
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: earned this insurgency. The Republican base has spoken. The most

590
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: under reported poll out of all these exit polls, that

591
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: we always talked about after all these races is the

592
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: fact that pretty much all throughout the country that Republicans

593
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: sixty of them feel betrayed by their party. I mean,

594
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: there was a poll that came out off I'll look

595
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: at my pile here, I'll find it somewhere, but I

596
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: think it was a rasp musin Paul. I mean, fully,

597
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: you have a fifty disapproval rate, an upside down unfavorable

598
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: rate by Republicans. I mean that is they've they've earned

599
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: this insurgency. Now, I think that's my point is how

600
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, are they gonna if they don't go for

601
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, assuming he's going to be the Republican nominee

602
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: for president? What what what is their answer? Hillary? Hillary President?

603
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: Where is she going to take this country? What's she's

604
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna do to Supreme Court? That's all I'm saying to

605
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: these people that are saying never Trump, and I get

606
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: the fact that they created this, but what's their alternative

607
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: at this point? So it gets back to my question today,

608
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: you know what you gotta do? I mean, look at

609
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: immigration for one example, I mean, who do you think

610
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be better on ISIS and radical those lam

611
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: Who do you think it is going to be better

612
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: on the economy? Who do you think is gonna put

613
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: better people around them if Trump or or crews get

614
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: to be the president. I've got to assume that that

615
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: many of the names that I've been mentioning in the

616
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: last week week and a half as an effort to

617
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 1: to sort of anticipate the disunity that is arising here

618
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: and the possibility of never Trump. Look numbers came out

619
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: today by Scott Rasmussen and what what the polls showed

620
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: was among likely US voters, Trump and Clinton are tied.

621
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: They have thirty eight percent each. Sixteen percent said they

622
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: would vote for some other candidate if the presidential election

623
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: comes down to those two six percent say they would

624
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: stay home. Only two percent are undecided. Now, Trump has

625
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: issues of building unity within his own party even more

626
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: than Clinton and hers, but she has her own issues.

627
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: It says, if Trump is the Republican nominee, sixteen percent

628
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: of GOP voters say they would choose a third party candidate. Well,

629
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: that's not going to be an option. And then you

630
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: have five percent say they would stay home. That's twenty

631
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: one percent of Republicans being stupid and offering a half

632
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: a vote to Hillary. Now, if they choose to do that,

633
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: then you get the government you deserve. I can't look,

634
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: I can't make people vote anyway I want them to.

635
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: I will make the case. I've got a thousand pages

636
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: of OP research that I have been building on Hillary

637
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: Clinton that that I will be unleashing at the right

638
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: time to remind people just how bad and how dangerous

639
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: a Clinton presidency would be. But if if those numbers

640
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: would hold up, it's not going to be good. Now,

641
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: Hillary has her own problems, similar numbers, but I would

642
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: hate to see people, you know, Rick Perry said the

643
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: other he was on the view I guess yesterday. I've

644
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: always liked Rick Perry. I think Rick Perry would have

645
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: been a good president. I really do. He did a

646
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: great job in the state of Texas. And he said, yeah,

647
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: I vote put Trump. I'm gonna vote for the nominee.

648
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: He's supporting Ted Cruz. Now. He hopes Ted Cruz can

649
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: can win it. I don't know second or third ballot

650
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: at the convention, but he said in the end he'll

651
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: support I hope other people come along that way, and

652
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: I respect his decision who he wants to support, but

653
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: he said Hillary is just not an option for him.

654
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thank you so much, Joe and Ella

655
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: j Joe. I have known Joe now for some almost

656
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: twenty five years as a caller. How are you, Joe?

657
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: What's going on, Sir Sean. I'm doing great, love your show,

658
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: and I just want to say that I strongly support

659
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: dead Cruise. And one big reason, you know, the Supreme

660
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: Court really bothers me. I've got three children, seven grandchildren.

661
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm totally convinced that dead. Cruise will appoint a conservative

662
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: judge like Antonio and Scalia, and so that's one big reason.

663
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: And but I'm just really fired up. You know, he

664
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 1: got dead, got from the a C, from the American

665
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: Conservative Union, from heritage, and I'm confident that he will

666
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: be a super tax player, champion Sean and will do

667
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: something about the terrible dead and the Hunter Tree and

668
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: unfunded loud builders. And we just got to have a

669
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: president like cru who are fight for the American taxpayers.

670
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: But I love your show, and keep up the great work.

671
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: And I'll thank you for Cruz well if Cruise doesn't

672
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: get it. I am interested to hear Trump said that

673
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: he would name names, uh compile a list before an election.

674
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: Actually it's one of his upcoming policy speeches like he

675
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: gave yesterday and foreign policy, where he would name the

676
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: people a list of people and it would only be

677
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: from that list that he would choose for the Supreme Court.

678
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm interested in seeing that list. I really am. All right, Joe.

679
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: Always good to hear your voice. Thank you, sir. All right.

680
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: Ellen is in Birmingham and Alabama. W E r C.

681
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: What's up? Ellen? How are you? We're glad you called Hey, Sehn,

682
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. First of all, I love

683
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: my pillow. Thank you. Isn't it Isn't it amazing? It

684
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: really isn't. It's not a It just is a great

685
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: the best pillow I've ever had to make such a

686
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: big difference. Thank you for saying that. Is awesome. So

687
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: I think it's a time, Sean. I think that that

688
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: we're beginning to see some hope and direction, and I

689
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: think it's time for a Trump Rubio merger. Um. You

690
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: know what CRUs did by pulling carly in, I think

691
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: sort of open the door. And I know a lot

692
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: of young people seem to have been torn between Rubio

693
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: and um Bernie. Now if if Trump brought um Rubio

694
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: on board, I think that what would happen is that

695
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: we would draw a whole lot of the typical Democratic voters,

696
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: and in addition, the Crew voters would be uh more

697
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: comfortable because um, you know, Donald Trump, he's got tremendous

698
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: ability to develop people for a business sign and that's

699
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: what's missing in our government is a business mind and

700
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: the success uh strategies and so forth. And I agree

701
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: with you. I think, Marco, look if if it's Trump

702
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: and that's what you're hypothetically you're bringing up here. If

703
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: Trump wins, Marco is got to be on his short list,

704
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: got to it's smart, He's he's a rising star. I

705
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: know some conservatives are still mad at him over the

706
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: immigration debacle. He has said and and comprehensive immigration reform.

707
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: He has said over and over again how much he

708
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: regrets it, and he paid a massive price for that mistake.

709
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: And I think I've got to believe he's learned his

710
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: lesson because he's a smart guy. Now the other people,

711
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: if again using your hypothetical, if it's Trump, Ted Cruz

712
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: has got to be on that list. Uh. John Kasik

713
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: has got to be on that list. Scott Walker has

714
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,479
Speaker 1: got to be on that list. Uh. Paul Ryan, even

715
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: even though his speaker probably doesn't want the job, doesn't

716
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: want to run again, but I would say he would

717
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: be on that list. Um, Bobby Jendle is a rock star,

718
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: could be on that list. So Nicky Hayley could be

719
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: on that list. And my hope is again I'm I'm

720
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking big picture here. I cannot do this radio

721
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: show as efficiently, as and as effectively as I do,

722
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: or the television show without being surrounded by the best

723
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: and brightest people. I don't tell people every day how

724
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: to do their job. I don't go around saying great

725
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: job today, you know. I just if they mess up,

726
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: I might say what are you doing? Because I expect

727
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: them to perform as you expect me to perform every day.

728
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: I've done a radio show by myself without a producer

729
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: running the board over the years. So it's it's gonna

730
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: be a team. And I think when people see a

731
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: team that they're gonna or the potential of a team,

732
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: I think it's it's certainly, but I think Marco has

733
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: got to be right up there, no doubt about it.

734
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: In the dast you what shame is this alliance? I

735
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: reckon eyes that the media is all eager to talk

736
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: about an alliance. There is no alliance case that, and

737
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: I'm ade a determination where to focus our energy, where

738
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: to focus our assets, where to focus our resources? Case

739
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: and I John Casey is a good man, He's an

740
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: honorable man. We disagree on a number of policy issues,

741
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you where we do agree. We agree

742
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: that Hillary Clinton as president would be a disaster, and

743
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: we agree that nominating Donald Trump, Alex Hillary Clinton. Today,

744
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: I'm in the plane and I see on television they

745
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: have a new relationship has started, Cruiz and Carly. He's

746
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: mathematically eliminated. He has set a record though. He is

747
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: the first presidential candidate in the history of this country

748
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: who's mathematically eliminated from becoming president who chose a vice

749
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: presidential candidate. Okay, all right, and so the battle goes on.

750
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: News round up and information overload. Our eight nine four one,

751
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: Shaun is a to free telephone number. You want to

752
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Alright. So when even

753
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: the AP now they're a little behind us, Remember I

754
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: said the winner of Pennsylvania guaranteed Donald Trump from Tuesday

755
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: night seventeen delegates. Then you know, we went through a

756
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: lot of this before the voting Tuesday, because they had

757
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: the names of the delegates but not associated with the

758
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: candidates on the ballot, which make which makes it very

759
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: confusing for Republicans. Even the Democrats do a better job

760
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania than the Republicans anyway, So if you add up,

761
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: the AP is confirmed that at least thirty three of

762
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: them planned to support Trump. We have a number closer

763
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: to about fifty. So the AP delegate count is officially

764
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: now Ted Cruz five sixty two, John Kasik one fifty three,

765
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: and we can't forget Senator Rubio one one. He is

766
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: really in third place. Um so that would mean percentage

767
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: wise that Trump needs around forty six percent of the

768
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: remaining delegates for the twelve thirty seven, the magic number. Now,

769
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 1: we've also pointed out that Trump could amass the most

770
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: primary votes in the history of the Republican Party. That is,

771
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: right now, he has roughly ten point one million votes,

772
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand more than Mitt Romney got during the

773
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: entire primary campaign. And these primaries ahead include let's see

774
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: popular pop heavily populated states like California, New Jersey, Indiana,

775
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: and other states as well. It's almost about what ten

776
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: contests left, so he will certainly probably shatter that record. Now.

777
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the program a new Rasmussen survey

778
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: that points out likely voters find that Trump and Clinton

779
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: are now tied at thirty eight percent each. Now, this

780
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: follows on the heels of the battleground pole that had

781
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: at a forty forty three race within the margin of

782
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: vera between Trump and Clinton, sixty percent said that they

783
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: would vote for some other candidate. If the presidential election

784
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: comes down to those two six percent said they'd stay home.

785
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: Only two percent are undecided. So the headline of the

786
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: ras muse and report is twenty four percent of people

787
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: would opt out of a Clinton Trump race. You gotta

788
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 1: remember a lot of people don't vote already. That would

789
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: not surprise me. So if you look at the the

790
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: actual numbers, for example, of Clinton is the Democratic nominee,

791
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: eleven percent of Democrats would vote third party, three percent

792
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: would stay home. That's four percent would support the nominee.

793
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: Eleven percent though, would support Trump. And that's a pretty

794
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: amazing figure. And it's similar for Donald Trump here to

795
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: weigh in on these new numbers and what to make

796
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 1: of them. We have Jeff Lord. He's the former former

797
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: associate political director in the Reggae administration. Of course, he

798
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: also writes for The American Spectator, author of the book

799
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: What America Needs, The Case for Trump. Jessica tar Love

800
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: is a senior strategist with Doug shown has shown consulting.

801
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: Welcome both of you, Hi, Sean, how are you? Why

802
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: do I suspect you know? We see the Democratic numbers

803
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: down almost Republican numbers up about six in terms of turnout.

804
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: Why do I suspect Rasmuss And at the end of

805
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: the day may have this wrong, because I think people's

806
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: interests will be at an all time high by the

807
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: time we get to November. Jeffrey Lord, Yeah, Sean, I

808
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: mean this happens all the time. I mean we go

809
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: back and forth in primary season about the viability of

810
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: A or B, or seeing how terrible they are. And

811
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: then what happens is you get to the actual election

812
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: in November, and the American people when forced to choose

813
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,919
Speaker 1: between two candidates, Uh, they make their choice, and they're

814
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: not always Uh. The nadow was doing well at the time.

815
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: I remember years ago the Time magazine put Bill Clinton

816
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: on the cover of their magazine with in X ray style,

817
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, implying that, you know, the guy was dishonest

818
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: and not well liked and all of that kind of thing.

819
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: And by November Bill Clinton was president elect. Ronald Reagan

820
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: had sort of the same experience. A gallop pole of

821
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: December nineteen seventy nine gave Jimmy Carter the vote to

822
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: thirty three for Ronald Reagan. You know. A year later,

823
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: Reagan was president. Elex so things change here. I mean,

824
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: this is still I realized we're now almost to me,

825
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: but we're still very early in this process. We've got

826
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,479
Speaker 1: a long way to go. How weak do you think

827
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: Jessica Hillary Clinton has looked in this in this campaign

828
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: against Bernie Sanders with nearly one contest, UM. I don't

829
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: think she looks as weak as you might think that

830
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: she looks are as Jeffrey might think that two looks.

831
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: You know, yes, she certainly had lost contests. You really,

832
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: if I told you at the beginning of this process

833
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders would take twenty states and territories, you would

834
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: never have believe me. Talked about it, and I did

835
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: not think it was as serious of a challenge. But

836
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: certainly in the past six months I thought that, you know,

837
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: even before we started in Iowa when you said, you know,

838
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: when he was turning people out and he was climbing

839
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: in the polls. Um. But we do have to remember

840
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 1: she's had more than three million more votes than he does, UM,

841
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: and he's winning decisively, and she's winning in states that

842
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: have diverse populations. And we know that the Democratic days

843
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: of this country is max and Bernie Sanders is not

844
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: appealing at all. To anyone really but white. And Bernie

845
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: did drag her very heavily to the left in a

846
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 1: position she probably never wanted to be in, and all

847
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: that will shifts back. No, he absolutely did. She'll shift

848
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: back also, so she she only went left as a

849
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: matter of convenience. I got it. Okay, he's done moving

850
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: left either. You know Bernie Sanders. What everyone wants to

851
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: say or think about Bernie Sanders, and I respect him

852
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: enormously because he's your basic, out and out socialist. This

853
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: is not about Bernie. This is about positions. And I

854
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: guarantee you he is going to try and have that

855
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: democratic platform that Hillary is going to run on, move

856
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: as far to the left as he can possibly get it,

857
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: and she's not going to be too thrilled with it either, Jeffrey,

858
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: from your point of view, Um, this contest is not over.

859
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: You see an alliance that has been made between although

860
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: CRUs kind of denied it's on alliance. I don't I

861
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: don't want to use the wrong word, but certainly an

862
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: understanding between case It and Ted Cruz about what states

863
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: they're going to campaign in and not campaign in. Trump

864
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: still does need forty seven six percent of the remaining delegates.

865
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: It's not over. He's got a tough contest. He's up

866
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: plus five, plus six and plus eight and the three

867
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: most recent Indiana poles. It's pretty much winter take, although

868
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: not totally winter take all. Um, you get thirty delegates

869
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: for winning the state, then you've got to win the

870
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: congressional districts to get the majority of the rest. So, um,

871
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: what's your take on Indiana and how important is that

872
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: for Trump? Well, I think it's important. I don't think

873
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: it's I don't think it's Uh, it's critical in this

874
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 1: sense if he wins it, I don't know where Ted

875
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: Cruise goes after that. Uh, Indiana has become, as as

876
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: some of these states have become, along the way, a

877
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: symbol of viability here, and Ted Cruise has really been

878
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: blown out of the water here in the Northeastern United States. Uh.

879
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can't do much better the Northeast

880
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: the mid Atlantic states, that you've got to album. So

881
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: now Indiana, this all on Indiana. If Donald Trump wins Indiana,

882
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: I think effectively it's over for Ted Cruz if he

883
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: loses Indiana, As say, Ronald Reagan lost Pennsylvania in April

884
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: to George H. W. Bush or Bill Clinton lost something

885
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: like thirteen primaries along the way. So if he loses Indiana,

886
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: then he's going to go on. I mean, he's very

887
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: he Trump will go on. He's very much ahead in

888
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: California and that'll be the penultimate thing. I think he'll

889
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: win New Jersey. I think he's going to do very well.

890
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: So it's entirely conceivable here that we will get to

891
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: the end of this process and he will have the

892
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: majority in hand. What's your take on Donald Trump as

893
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: an opponent for Hillary or what would you rather face?

894
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: Ted Cruise of Donald Trump? Jessica, Oh, Ted Cruise a

895
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: hundred percent. You know, he's just Ted Cruises. Um, he's

896
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: too ideological, I think to win the presidency. You know,

897
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: he's really far right. He's shown no malleability on the issues.

898
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about making fun of her about

899
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: being able to pivot between going to the left and

900
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 1: going to the center with Hillary Clinton. But Ted Cruz

901
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: has no pivot in him. And he's really you know,

902
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: stakes his campaign on that I'm being a constitutional conservative

903
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: and trustworthy that he wouldn't you know, flip PLoP at

904
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: all on these issues and the problem is that the

905
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: way that he feels about the issues is out of

906
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: step with the majority of Americans, and it's gonna be

907
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: very hard for him to pull in independence. And certainly

908
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: a lot of these Democrats who have been disenchanted with

909
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party have gone into you feared So another

910
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: way to say this is as a Democrat, you fear

911
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: Trump more. Why a thousand percent? I mean Donald Trump

912
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: is first of all, he's charming and funny, which I

913
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: think matters a lot um And I'm you know, you've

914
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: seen obviously you've interviewed him a number of times. He has,

915
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, a style and a swagger about him that's appealing.

916
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: He his stature. You know, he's a big guy and

917
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: he's imposing, and he does I don't want to say

918
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: he seems presidential because a lot of things that he

919
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 1: says don't seem president ential to me at all. But

920
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: he has more of a presence than Ted Cruze to me.

921
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: And also the fact that he doesn't really have an

922
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: ideology that you know for years he's been sticking to.

923
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: There's a flexibility there that makes him dangerous, especially on

924
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: women's issues. You know, Donald Trump is the only what

925
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: about the exchange. Then that happened, you know. He Trump

926
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: launched at the Hillary this week about her lack of

927
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 1: appeal to women, and he's, you know, the only card

928
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: she has is the woman's card, and she's got nothing

929
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: else going. And he said, frankly, if Hillary were a man,

930
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: I think she'd have about five percent of the vote. Um,

931
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: And the beautiful thing is women don't like her, and

932
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: there's some truth that they don't. I mean, women don't

933
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump. And I think Hillary's latest on favorable

934
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: members are at fifty eight, which is not great and

935
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: it's a problem. But women are delivering for her in

936
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 1: these primaries, are coming out and droves for her actually,

937
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: And I think that Donald Trump really took this tack

938
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: too early in the race. Should have waited for the

939
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: general when he was going to do it. But I

940
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: think that the gender card and that argument, it's gonna

941
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: be very difficult for Hillary because, on the one hand,

942
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: trumps sexism or be sexism, I think, is a lot

943
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: more on about styled and substance. You know, he kind

944
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: of has this playboy sexism to him, and um, that's

945
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: more difficult I think for women to turn against, you know,

946
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: and Hillary she faced her entire life people saying, you know,

947
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: you're only somebody because of your husband, You only got

948
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: this because of your husband, or you know you're a loser.

949
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: You lost in oh eight, Olivia is a disaster, you know,

950
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: you're a rack vote, etcetera. And there are a lot

951
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: of things that people come at her about them, and

952
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: I think that she won't be able to fight the

953
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 1: traditional war on women. You know, you can't just stand

954
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: up there anymore and say we want equal pay, you know,

955
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: we want better women's healthcare, etcetera. It has to be

956
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: part of this more holistic or humanistic perspective on equality

957
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: for everybody. And that's why younger women in the Democratic

958
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: Party actually haven't been supporting her, because they say, you know,

959
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: this is a general movement about equality, and that's where

960
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders appeals. So what is your take. Look, I

961
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: think the one really brief exchange on Bill Clinton and

962
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: how she was an accessory to all of his actions

963
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 1: I think was devastating to Hillary Clinton. And Trump keeps

964
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: saying to me and interviews at least, that he hasn't

965
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: even started on Crooked Hillary, and it's only a matter

966
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: of time and he's got the full encyclopedia. Now I

967
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: know there's encyclopedia because I got a thousand pages of

968
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: op research on Hillary that I'm just waiting to unload

969
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: in the days and weeks to come right. And and

970
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 1: the thing is that that Donald Trump is not afraid

971
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: to use this too many times. And you you sean

972
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: have been talking about this for years and I've been

973
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: talking about it. Republican nominees, you know, boy, they'll go

974
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: all after their their Republican opponents. But you finally put

975
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: them on the playing field with a Democrat and and

976
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: suddenly you know they're Mr. Nice guy. Well, they don't

977
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: want to do this, They don't want to do that,

978
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: they don't want to bring up Jeremiah Right, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera,

979
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: And so they lose. Donald Trump that I had this

980
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: conversation with him back inten in an interview for The

981
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: American Inspected. I asked him this question and he made

982
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: it plain then that if he decided to run for president,

983
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: he would go all out and he would go right

984
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: after his opposition. He's done it now with Hillary Clinton.

985
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: He is going to continue to do it. And frankly,

986
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: that's what you've got to do because these folks are

987
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna are gonna come after you, and you've got to

988
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: be able to fight back. And he is definitely going

989
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't think Hillary, if it is

990
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: Trump in the end, and he still has to win

991
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: this if it is him, I think I don't think

992
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: Hillary will ever experience anything like this in her life.

993
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: I think that's right, you know, And Sean, there is

994
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: one other thing that has nothing really to do with

995
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, although he can take great advantage of it.

996
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: It is very hard to get elected to a third

997
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: presidential term for a political party. Um, you know, Bill

998
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: Clinton couldn't turn that trick for Al Gore, George W.

999
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: Bush couldn't do it for John McCain. I mean only Frankly,

1000
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan in could get it done with George with

1001
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: his vice president. Other than that, it's very hard because

1002
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: you are people frankly get tired of you, I mean

1003
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: ideology side, they're just tired. And then you add in

1004
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: the ideology and what's going on at the moment, which

1005
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: is all right, I only have ten seconds. Well, how

1006
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: do you respond to cruises comments that Trump's not a conservative?

1007
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: Really quickly? Yeah? Well, I I think he's I mean,

1008
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: he's he's got he's got conservative positions on all kinds

1009
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: of things, from the Supreme Court to energy to the economy.

1010
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean, of course he I think he's a conservative,

1011
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: now is he? Is he a conservative in the sense

1012
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: that perhaps Ronald Reagan was? Uh? Probably not? Probably not,

1013
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: But he's consernedly conservative enough in these venues. The other night,

1014
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: I went to a rally ten thousand people here in

1015
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: Harrisburg for Donald Trump. I mean I got to talk

1016
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: to a lot of these people who came up and

1017
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: talked to me because you know, they've seen me on TV.

1018
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: Great way, You're very handsome on TV. But I got

1019
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: a role. M Listen, I appreciate both of you being

1020
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: with us. Let's say hi to Greg Is in Jersey City,

1021
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: New Jersey, listening to the all new a M seven

1022
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: ten w R, which is the talk of New York

1023
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: and New Jersey. How are you? How you doing? Great?

1024
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: Term some porter and I listened to your show all

1025
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: the time. With the two points with regard to Cruz, uh, Lately,

1026
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: I can't even listen to the station. I can't whenever

1027
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: he's on, I have to turn it off because I mean,

1028
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: he just lies on every topic that there is. And

1029
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: I know, I mean, I say that you're trying to

1030
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: be fair and just let him talk, and you say,

1031
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: you want to let these guys talk and then you

1032
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: make your own decision. But when he's saying things that

1033
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: that are so obviously false, it's just unbearable to listen to.

1034
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: Like lately, he's saying a vote for Trump is a

1035
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: vote for Hillary Clint and he goes on to Trump

1036
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: wants Obamacare, Trump wants this, Trump wants and there's a

1037
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,439
Speaker 1: lots Trump says every day that he doesn't want those things,

1038
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: and CRUs just gets on every day and says the

1039
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: exact opposite of what Trump is really stands for. You know,

1040
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: I read let me give you an example. I've read

1041
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: Brent Bozell. He sent out a letter to prominent conservatives

1042
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: to read that have that have endorsed Donald Trump to

1043
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: reconsider their vote. Now, you know Brent Bozell and I

1044
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: go back a long ways. He's been a great fighter

1045
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: in the cause for conservatism over the years, and and

1046
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: there were certain things in there that I would having

1047
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: interview Trump as often as I did, I would say, no,

1048
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: that's not his position. Now here's two ways to conduct

1049
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: an interview with the presidential candidate. And I'm bringing you

1050
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: inside my job here because if you listen to the

1051
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: candidates as they prosecute their case against the other candidate,

1052
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: they always want to make it appear as bad as

1053
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: they possibly can, and and and it happens on all sides.

1054
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: This has happened throughout the campaign. Now I have as

1055
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: a host two options as this is going on. Each time,

1056
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: I could say, I could be the special pleader for

1057
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: the other person and up, wait a second, but the

1058
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: person said this to me on this date and that date,

1059
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: and you're never gonna the interview is never gonna end.

1060
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: It's we're never gonna make any progress in the interview.

1061
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: I can promise you that. Does that make sense? Right?

1062
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: I understand that, but so so my so my answers,

1063
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: but hang on. But my answer and my antidote is

1064
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: that I'm giving equal time to both So in other words,

1065
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, in other words, I don't have to sit

1066
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: there interrupting both of them, saying making the worst case

1067
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: for the other candidate and just let them lay out

1068
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: their vision. Now, some candidates spend more time attacking the

1069
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: other candidates over the years some candidates focus more on

1070
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: what their message is, what their mission is, and whatever

1071
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: positive things they want to do for the country. But

1072
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: I think in the end people get it. But I'm

1073
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: trying to bring you into my world and understand it.

1074
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: Does that make sense right? Definitely? It doesn't make sense.

1075
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: And like I said, they were subtle lies and misleading

1076
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 1: type of things. That's one thing Cruises boltantly outright lies

1077
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: about Trump's I mean, he actually was trying to say

1078
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: for a while there that Trump was mutual between Iran

1079
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 1: and Israel, when everyone knows that that's not what Trump

1080
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: meant when he was saying if he was negotiating a

1081
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: deal or trying to negotiate a deal, that he was

1082
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to be neutral the negotiator. But by far

1083
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: he was a supporter of Israel. But who's took that

1084
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: on the team Campaigon trail and everywhere he went saying

1085
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: that we don't need somebody who's not prol Israel. And

1086
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: that's just one example, but every single topic that Trump

1087
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: has where he was clearly made it a point to

1088
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: say what he's for, who says the opposite and says this,

1089
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: and literally he's talking about a vote for Hillary is

1090
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: a vote for you know, a vote for Trump is

1091
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: a vote for Hillary. Listen, I I listen. Here's the

1092
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: here's the irony of this. I could let I could

1093
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: tell you, and I know that this is my job,

1094
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: so understand I'm not saying this from from any conceded point.

1095
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: I've interviewed these guys so much. I can tell you

1096
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: their positions on everything. I can tell you almost on

1097
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: every issue except for the new issues that have come up.

1098
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: I know the answers to every question before I even

1099
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: ask it. But I'm not doing the show for me.

1100
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing the show for my audience, and I understand

1101
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: exactly the frustration. Let me give you an example. If

1102
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: I have, like, for example, tonight, Donald Trump will be

1103
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: given a speech, will probably carry some of that speech

1104
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: on Hannity TENNY ten pm Eastern tonight Friday night, We're

1105
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: going to do a town hall in Indianapolis. All the

1106
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: information is on Hannity dot com with Senator Cruz and

1107
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: with Carly Fiorina together uh info at Hannity dot com. Now,

1108
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: in both cases, I can promise you if I interview Trump,

1109
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Cruise people get mad. If I interview Cruise, Trump, people

1110
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: get mad. You understand that the limit that I'm in here,

1111
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: and I don't mind it. I don't mind the criticism.

1112
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: I accept it for what it is. Then you get

1113
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: people on the left saying that I'm too easy on Republicans,

1114
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: and to that I'm probably gonna lead guilty. And do

1115
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: you want to know why? Because because I agree with

1116
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: them a lot more and I am going to be

1117
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: as hard if not harder, on Hillary Clinton than I

1118
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: ever was on Obama because their philosophy is dangerous and

1119
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: it's literally driven this country into the ground. So I'm

1120
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: not a journalist. I'm a talk show host that has opinions,

1121
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, I am going

1122
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: to support the person on the Republican ticket because that

1123
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: most likely is in view with my view any one

1124
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: of the seventeen I could have supported. Does that make sense?

1125
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: So does the When you say if the establishment doesn't

1126
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: give it to either Trump or Cruz, you're saying that

1127
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: a lot, and I really think that it's a headstare.

1128
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: And what I think is that whoever gets the most

1129
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: delegates and the most votes is really who should be

1130
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: the nominee. That's what the that's what the that's what

1131
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 1: the votes. That's what the exit polls are saying that

1132
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: people want. But hanging there, I I understand. Look, it's

1133
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: it's a very tense time. People are wired pretty tight

1134
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: right now, and some people are frankly unhinged. Part of

1135
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: my effort and motivation here is to defeat Hillary, and

1136
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: part of effort of motivation here is to unite people.

1137
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: I understand fully and completely the emotional disappointment that people

1138
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: feel when their candidate loses. But you have to you know,

1139
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: we all have disappointments in life, and you've got to

1140
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: ask yourself a question, whether it's Donald Trump, who has

1141
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: a much easier path than Ted Cruizer, John Kasi, or

1142
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: whoever it might be, if they are running against Hillary.

1143
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: I will make a list and I will publish it

1144
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: and I will put it on my website where they

1145
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: stand versus Hillary on substantive, real issues. And then it's

1146
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: our responsibility, just like I've been hammering Republicans now for

1147
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: years for being weak and and effective in Washington, and

1148
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: it's our responsibility to hold the person if they get

1149
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: elected accountable. Anyway, appreciate your time. Thank you. Mary Beth

1150
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: is in Arkansas. Next on the Sean Hannity Show, Mary Beth,

1151
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? I'm great, and I

1152
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: think you do a great job. I listen on the

1153
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: radio and what sh at night, and I just think

1154
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: to do a great job. But the reason I'm calling

1155
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: is I'm the leaves. The people of the United States

1156
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: of America have found their white Night in Donald Trump.

1157
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: And everybody keeps trying to push this down and say no, no, no,

1158
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: And you know, worked, I'm excited. I'm happy, and and

1159
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, I just think it's time that everybody else

1160
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: realizes that, you know, the United States of America already

1161
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: to find somebody that's working for them and and you know,

1162
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,479
Speaker 1: ready to help the vets, ready to help the American people,

1163
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: ready to help the elderly. You know, I'm excited, Listen,

1164
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:37,479
Speaker 1: I am. I'd be excited if I'd be a little

1165
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: more comfortable if I knew that this election was in

1166
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: the bag. It's not. This election is not going to

1167
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: be in the bag. Anybody that ever tells you it

1168
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: is is going to be lying to you. I think

1169
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: that this country is very divided philosophically, and I have

1170
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: a great fear that the country has moved from center

1171
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: right to center left. We'll know a lot in this

1172
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: election if the damn edge that has been caused by

1173
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Obama does not motivate an alliance between conservatives and Republicans

1174
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: to fix the country's problem with a stiff spine and

1175
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: a strong vision, I don't know what will we get

1176
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: to the point where irreparable damage is done and where

1177
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Europe and We're in decline and we can't stop it,

1178
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: and financially it becomes mathematically impossible to fix it. I mean,

1179
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: you've got another g d P report showing again the

1180
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: Obama economy teetering on the brink of a recession. You

1181
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: have the first time in our nation's history that you

1182
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: have a president that has never ever come close to

1183
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: three growth. I mean, somebody that standing up there and

1184
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: saying I Am going to make American grade. Yet it's inspiring,

1185
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, But but remember you had a guy last

1186
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: time I was saying hope and change and change and hope.

1187
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I believe me. I'm not comparing the two. All I

1188
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: am saying is is this, this is why a circular

1189
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: firing squad is going to be death to the country.

1190
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: It's really a time for people that maybe we all

1191
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: agree seventy of the time. But we agree on the

1192
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: big issues about border security, on repealing replacing Obamacare, on

1193
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: conservative justices. We all agree on on living within our

1194
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: means and stop burdening future generations with dead We all

1195
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 1: agree that states should run education and common Core needs

1196
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: to go. I mean, you know, every one of the

1197
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: candidates support that agenda, every one of them. I know

1198
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: them because I've interviewed them all, and I understand. It's

1199
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: like this last caller is saying, all of these people

1200
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: that come that tell me, I, look, I interview the candidates.

1201
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: They want to ship, they want to portray their opponents

1202
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: in the worst possible light and never look to any

1203
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: areas of reconciliation. That's fine, that's really fine during a

1204
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,560
Speaker 1: campaign or a primary. But if you don't unite in

1205
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: the general, you're gonna get an Obama third term. That

1206
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,719
Speaker 1: is where everybody's head should be. Nicole is in Stockton

1207
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: out in California. Hey, Nicole, how are you? And we're

1208
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 1: glad you're called. By the way, Obama is the first

1209
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: president ever not to see a single year of three

1210
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: percent GDP growth. Anyway, Nicole, how are you? Hello? I'm great, great,

1211
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be on. Thank you. What's on your

1212
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: mind today? Um? I am listening in and I just

1213
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: want cold hard facts. I support Cruise because he has

1214
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: not only say that he can change, he has done

1215
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: change already. I see that that Trump who's having this

1216
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: great hopeful speech. It's helping us all out because yes,

1217
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: we are all so angry. But what has he done

1218
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: in his path? I want I don't want to listen

1219
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: to what he's saying anymore. I want to see what

1220
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: he has done. And I have not found anything that

1221
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: has made me feel like what he is saying is

1222
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: the cold hard truth. Well what do you mean by doun?

1223
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: You mean accomplishments, specific accomplishments. Yes, let me let me

1224
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: give you one. Look. I'm somebody. I'm somebody in my life. UM,

1225
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: I never talked about I actually have. I'm an entrepreneur.

1226
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: I have businesses. I don't talk about them on the air.

1227
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: I love business. I know it may sound crazy, but

1228
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: that's what I do in my spare time. Um. If

1229
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: if you know how hard it is to start and

1230
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: run a business, even a small business, let's say a

1231
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: mom and pop shop that takes in two d and

1232
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a year, and by the time they

1233
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,560
Speaker 1: play their light bill in their their rent or their mortgage,

1234
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: UH and a couple of employees that they take home

1235
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars. That's still an an enterprise that

1236
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 1: is incredibly viable for UH and necessary for our economy. Now,

1237
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: magnify that. If you happen to be a millionaire, then

1238
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: magnify that yet again, if you happen to be, like

1239
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: in Trump's case, a billionaire. You know, it's funny. I was.

1240
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: I've been a Trump Tower a number of times. You

1241
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: go to Trump Tower, I don't know you're a cruise supporter,

1242
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 1: but it's a beautiful building. You look at the accomplishment

1243
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: of building that building, and then then all the people

1244
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,560
Speaker 1: that have to construct the building, all the people that

1245
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: maintain the building, all the shops that are within the building,

1246
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: all the services that are provided to residents and businesses

1247
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: in the building. I mean, it's it's a never ending

1248
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: circle of economic activity. You know. Then you could add

1249
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: the golf courses to it, and all the people that

1250
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: worked there, and from the people that cut the lawn

1251
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: and clean the bathrooms to the waiters and waitresses in

1252
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: the in the restaurants, to the guys that parked the cars,

1253
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: to you know, the starters at a golf course. I mean,

1254
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 1: these are people that are employed because entrepreneurs have taken

1255
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: risk and invested money. So if you're asking me what

1256
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,640
Speaker 1: an accomplishment is, well that's one. He also has the

1257
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 1: story about woman rink in Central Park. The city of

1258
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 1: New York spent thirteen million dollars. Trump said, I'm sick

1259
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: and tired of looking at this thing busted and broken

1260
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 1: and not fixed. Let me take it over. I'll do it.

1261
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: I'll do it with my own money. He got it

1262
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: done in six months under budget. He went to Canadians

1263
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: who know how to build ice rinks. They built the

1264
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: ice rink and it's been beautiful ever since. It's you know,

1265
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: I like the idea, and I'm not I'm not. You know,

1266
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,560
Speaker 1: I would also argue, I can argue the things that

1267
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,480
Speaker 1: Ted Cruiz has done. Ted Cruz is reminded every Conservative,

1268
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 1: every Republican of the promises that they made when they

1269
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:15,600
Speaker 1: ran for office. That is a big deal that he

1270
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: stood there alone and was willing to fight that to me.

1271
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: You know, he was also the attorney general. He also

1272
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: was the National debate champion this. You know, he's a constitutionalist,

1273
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 1: He's strong and smart. I can make a case for

1274
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,719
Speaker 1: anybody to call over Hillary Clinton. It's not that hard.

1275
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: And that's where But the problem is there's so much

1276
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: antipathy right now that I don't see people united enough

1277
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: to effectively, uh succeed in the mission of seeing the

1278
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: big picture of uniting to win. Does that make sense? Yes,

1279
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 1: it makes complete sense. And I love the idea of uniting.

1280
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: Although with Trump, I feel like he's more dividing and

1281
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: that scares me. It brings a searr up in my belly.

1282
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:54,560
Speaker 1: It just scares me. I feel like he's dividing and

1283
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,679
Speaker 1: we need uniting and we need to get back down

1284
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,560
Speaker 1: to basics. And with him with making deals and all this,

1285
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: it just scares me. It scares me. I feel like

1286
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 1: there's something there he's not explaining in depth. He doesn't

1287
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: want to debate. Cruise, Why why do you not want

1288
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 1: a debate? Cruise, Well, they debated I think fifteen times already.

1289
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: But I understand what you're saying. You want to want

1290
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 1: on one debate, all right, Listen, I my advice to

1291
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: you is keep fighting. I mean, one of the things

1292
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,759
Speaker 1: that You've you've got to say, give any candidate wars.

1293
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 1: They're in there, they're fighting, they're playing hard, and you know,

1294
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I want the person

1295
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 1: that wins the presidency to be willing to fight for

1296
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: the country and fight for our principles, and fight to

1297
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: make this a better place, and fight to get Americans

1298
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,560
Speaker 1: back to work, and fight to keep America strong, and

1299
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 1: fight to keep our enemies at bay. That's what I'm

1300
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: looking for.
