WEBVTT - A Team Approach 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:05.360 This is the Sean Hannity Show podcast. All right, you know, 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:10.319 so much on the Republican side now depends on math 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:14.200 delegate counts, and we've been focusing on that now and 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.520 then in in light of what happened on Tuesday, the 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.240 five states sweep by Trump, I want to focus on 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.840 something today. Now, maybe if you if you begin to 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.600 point out that on Tuesday, Trump won every county in 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:33.000 every state, all five of them that had an election Maryland, Connecticut, 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:38.239 Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania, mid Atlantic Northeastern states. Now, his 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:43.640 victory was that dominant, that complete, So that helped his 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:48.120 math out a lot. Now, everyone expected Trump to win 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.400 those five states, but it was the margins of victory 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.880 that that stood out. Here he outperformed expectations that were 0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:01.880 already high. And the mostly untold story is what we 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.520 have focused in on even before the race began, which 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:09.240 was Pennsylvania, which has one of the most confusing ballots 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.399 in the country. And you folks in Pennsylvania need to 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.520 fix this. It's a mess anyway. So how well he 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:20.000 did among the fifty four previously uncommitted delegates. Now there's 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.240 an analyst, Philip Kurpin, who was on our program a 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.119 while back among the first to point out that among 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.120 the fifty four district delegates, well, he pointed out the 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.480 twenty eight or now publicly committed to Trump, only three 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.240 committed to Cruise. And when you look at those leaning 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:43.000 of those committed to supporting the winner of the district um, 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.959 the total increases to probably closer to thirty eight for Trump, 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.640 four for Cruise, four for case like eight others uncommitted. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.760 I have it a little higher than that, which means 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:57.720 that Trump is right at a thousand delegates at this 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.200 particular point in time. Remember the magic number one, two 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.160 hundred and thirty seven, that's that's the number that matters. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.560 That is the so called magic number this year. So 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.919 this was the first state I think you can say 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.280 that on the ground game side, the Trump actually dominated 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.240 in Pennsylvania like he had not before. So those delegates 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.880 are not factored into the delegate total you may have Trump. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.239 As of yesterday, using Rose Tenants numbers, we had one 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.880 thousand and one delegates for Trump, all right, So that's 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:35.280 a pretty big number. So Trump is in better shape 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.880 than what you're reading in the papers because these people 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.360 are committed now to this people have been saying, and 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.640 I've been saying, Indiana, which holds its primary on Tuesday's 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.280 key because they've got fifty seven delegates. It is key. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.919 But because Trump did so well in Pennsylvania among the 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.560 uncommitted delegates, remember saying, you get seventeen delegates in Pennsylvania 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.200 for winning the state, fifty four were uncommitted on bound 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.160 and then remember on the back you didn't vote for 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.400 the actual candidate Trump cruise case that you've voted for 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.760 a delegate by name. And we went through the effort 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.079 of finding out who the delegates were going to support, 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.080 and then people ended up and some people said they 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.120 would just support who the winner was and represent the 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.120 will of the district at least on the first ballot. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.200 So that's how we not now get there. So because 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.240 Trump did so well in Pennsylvania, the uncommitted delegates he has, 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.960 he has given himself some cushion here should he lose Indiana. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.840 Although the polls there are three polls out one it 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.839 has Trump plus five, one has plunged Trump plus eight, 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:38.000 one was Trump plus six. So a lot of scenarios 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:43.120 being discussed for understandable reasons. Nate Cone of the New 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.760 York Times sees things this way. In the remaining ten states, 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.200 this is now objective analysis. This is just I'm not 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.920 I'm just giving you. I'm sort of like calling the 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:57.920 game here. Um, Trump is safe, pretty safe bet in 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.560 New Jersey and West Virginia. So he'll probably win about 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.240 seventy of those contests and perhaps many is as many 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.520 as eighty five. Uh, he'll win all of New Jersey. 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.000 West Virginia has their own funky system. So that's that's 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.080 in play a little bit more than you might think. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.320 I'll get to that when the time comes. But Trump 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.600 could then win a further forty delegates or more from 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:24.440 three states that award delegates proportionally, the two West coast 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.800 states of Washington, Oregon, and well also West coast New Mexico, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.520 and he's likely to garner a pretty healthy share of 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.760 delegates in those states whether he wins or not their 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:37.320 proportional distribution of delegates now. Also, Trump is an underdog 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.320 in three winner take all states in the West and 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:45.279 in the plains areas Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska. So that 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:50.359 leaves Indiana California as the most competitive remaining contests and 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.920 the ones with the most delegates at stakes, so neither 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.400 state is thought to be as strong for Trump as 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.920 the Five States war on Tuesday. But Trump has led 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.599 in every poll conducted in the two states since March, 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.839 and they have a combined two nine pledged delegates, and 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.560 they've awarded winner take all statewide and congressional district. For example, 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.160 Indiana winner you get thirty. If you win the state, 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.200 then it's by congressional district. I know this gets confusing 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.880 and a little annoying, but it is the system that 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.919 politicians have designed. What can you expect? And as for California, 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.920 Real Clear Politics average poles, Trump is leading by almost 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.680 eighteen points forty five point seven and twenty eight point 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:35.120 three for cruise eighteen KIK California. The big prize big 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.520 delegate prize of a hundred and seventy two at stake 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:42.200 is winner take all by district. One blogger on hot 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.640 air dot Com put it it's not implausible that Trump 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.479 would take a hundred and thirty three or a hundred 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.000 forty eight delegates from California alone and clinch the nomination 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.440 even if he gets nothing from Indiana. And if Trump 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:57.800 wins Indiana, which would let him a minimum of thirty delegates, 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.400 he'd barely need to break a hundred in californ Warnia 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.400 to clinch the nomination before the GOP convention in July. 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:11.080 Uh The the pundit Alipundan summarizes things this way. Before yesterday, 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.480 next week's voting, Indiana was set to be a decisive 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.600 moment on the way to a broker convention. If CRUs 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.440 won the state, the conventional wisdom went that Trump wouldn't 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.000 realistically get to twelve thirty seven with the delegates left 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.760 on the board, and we'd be set for a floor fight. Now, 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.720 what's at stake in Indiana is simply just makes it 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.120 harder for Trump, And if Cruise wins, he gets another 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.760 shot at stopping Trump somewhere in California on June seven. 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:45.159 If Cruiz loses, um at least these people from their 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.239 math standpoint, I again, I'm giving you analysis here. It's 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.039 it's next to impossible at that point probably to stop it, 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.160 uh stop stop Trump getting from twelve thirty seven to 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.880 twelve thirty seven. So that explains the Cruise caseing non 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.480 aggression packed which appears to be falling apart. It probably 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.200 explains why Senator Cruz picked Carle Fierina to be Cruzes 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.080 running mate if he wins the nomination, and it probably 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.960 explains why Cruz left for Indiana before last Tuesday's vote. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.280 While he's kind of camped out in the Hoosier state, 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.880 we will be with him and Carley tomorrow. There So 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.840 Indiana's door died for Cruz specifically and the anti Trump 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.480 forces generally. So it's no longer mandatory for Trump to 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.239 win that state. But let me say a word about 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:34.080 this that's making the rounds today. Last night, David Kennedy, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.520 there's a guy at Stanford University. He had a conversation 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:42.600 with John Bayner, Professor. Kennedy asked Bayner to be frank, 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.640 and the former speaker responded in kind when specifically asked 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.720 his opinions on Ted Cruz. Bayner made a face and 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.760 he drew laughter from the crowd, and then he said, 0:07:55.080 --> 0:08:00.640 lucifer in the flesh about Senator Ted Cruz quote. I 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.560 have Democratic friends, I have Republican friends. I get along 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.600 with almost everyone, But I have never worked with a 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:11.080 more miserable s ob in my life. Now this is 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.920 what really pisces me off. I just got done spending 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.880 a half hour in this program talking about that if 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.920 you look at the seventeen candidates, and you look beyond 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.760 the seventeen candidates, and I don't count John Bayner in 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.000 this group, talking more like people like Rudy Giuliani and 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.400 New King Rich and some others that are not in 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:36.319 politics currently. We have such a deep bench of intellectual 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:41.480 firepower that if we were to unite at the end 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.240 of the day, you add in Rubio with Trump, and 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.720 and Cruise with Trump, and and k Sik and Cruise 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.320 and Trump and Rubio and Rick Perry, and you add 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.240 him to the mix, and Bobby Gendle to the mix, 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.320 and Nicki Halley to the mix, and Scott Walker to 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.200 the mix, and Paul Ryan to the mix. And you know, 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:02.360 maybe not there's no universal out here. But if they 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.560 came together, and if Paul Ryan, who I had spoken 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.720 to some time ago on the program, follows through on 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:12.520 a positive Contract with America style agenda that deals with 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:18.079 basically the Conservative solution Caucus that I built, there is 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.840 a chance we could actually unite for the purpose of 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:26.400 saving the country. I know that might sound absolutely pollyannish, 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:30.200 pie in the sky like thinking to you, but one 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.199 has got to hope. We've got to try, don't we. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.280 So many other people have sacrificed so much for us 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.679 to give us this opportunity, and so many people are 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:43.400 underwater and suffering and one paycheck away from absolute misery 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:49.400 and poverty and unhappiness. It's just horrible. So you know, 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.680 New Gingridge had, it's it's going to be the job 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.880 of whoever gets this nomination to bring the party together. 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:02.320 That's what's gonna happen. Some programming notes tonight Live Hannity 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.920 ten o'clock. There is a big Trump speech out in California, 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.480 will probably end up carrying a lot of that, and 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.240 then tomorrow we'll have we'll do an Indiana town hall 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.480 with Cruz and Carly. Details are on my website Hannity 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.320 dot com. All right, let's go to Michael Is in 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.439 Minneapolis and Minnesota up first today this Thursday edition of 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.360 The Shawan Hannity Show. How are you good? Thank you, 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.040 Mr Hannity. It is crucial your way of thinking, it's 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.320 not pine in this guy. It is crucial the American 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.960 people unite because I tell you, our neighborhood in Rochester, Minnesota, 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.720 has already been taken over by refugees from Somali over 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.960 the last six years. My wife and I got our 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.959 concealed carry permits. She's a doctor at the number one 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.400 hospital in the world. I can't mention the name. Uh, 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.280 your your co your employee told me, but it's Obama's 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:56.200 favorite hospital and they don't accept Obamacare. But she works there. 0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:01.240 And it's frightening where concealing where concealed carry carriers. We 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.280 don't feel like our government wants to protect us. We've 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.600 moved neighborhoods because of all the government housing that stopped 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.959 up in the area. Our kids are twenty kids behind 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:13.880 in the school bus now, and let me tell you, 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.720 they're not Americans. They're standing behind and it's shameful. It's embarrassing, 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.200 and we must unite as American people, I hope. So 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.000 this may be our last shot, you know, maybe we'll 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.840 have to really maybe we'll have to really appreciate. I 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.880 really appreciate you taking my call a longtime fans. Thank 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.120 you there and I both love and a doy yourself 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.000 appreciate it. Thank you so much, Michael. It means a lot. Uh. 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:40.160 Lisa is in Fisher's, Indiana, will be in Indiana tomorrow. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:45.200 How are you? What's up, Lisa? Hi? Sean's going on? Darling, 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.200 how are you great? Great? By the way, if I 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.360 was in the workforce and I said, thank you, darling, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.959 come on all over here. But you know that's probably 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:57.280 a suitable offense. But go ahead soon, heartbeat there. Hey, 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.240 I just want to say I attended Grettis town all yesterday. Yeah. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:06.960 It was good, wasn't it? Oh it was? It was electric. Um. 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.520 But my point is that the question if Gretta, if 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.360 if Trump would hire Gretta to work in his administration, 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:18.360 that was pretty funny. She's she's phenomenal. She's just phenomenal. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:23.240 And I couldn't believe how tiny she is. But anyway, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.480 you know what people say about it that I look 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:30.959 that I look younger, skinnier, um, and taller in person. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.440 So all my answers, I look like an old, fat 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:40.079 short guy on TV. Well they say TV does it 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.680 at about fifty pounds at least. I'm telling you all right, 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.280 But anyway, I want to interrupt you. Go ahead, but hey, 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.760 I just want to say, um, you know, after the 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.760 media is a narrative that Trump doesn't have the female vote. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:59.040 Is cruck. More than half the audience yesterday, and half 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.800 the people waiting in line around to city blocks to 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.959 get into the town hall consisted of females. We just 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.920 Donald just has a respect to women, and even in 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.960 talking to women who even women from Chicago who came down, 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:22.079 women who came from northern Indiana. It's it's just amazing. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:27.000 I mean, he's so straightforward and he speaks from the heart, 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:32.000 and women love them. I love them. It's gonna be 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:36.160 very interesting. I I this campaign general election campaign has 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.200 not begun yet. We've got to get through this process. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.280 Somebody's got to get the nomination. When that happens, I'm 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:46.400 hoping that a lot of this hostility eventually falls off. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.440 If not, then we'll probably pay a price in November, 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.080 and you know, maybe I'll just turn this into the 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.079 Howard Stern Show. We'll talk about sex and strippers. I 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.079 don't know, because it won't be worth talking about saving 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.960 the country for a while if if she as elected president. 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.760 All right, thank you, Lisa. Melenda is in North Carolina. 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.840 We have a minute. Melinda, how are you glad you called? Um? 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.720 Thanks for taking my call. I think that what Ted 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:15.400 Cruz needs to do is just right this minute stepped 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.160 down instead of continuing on. I think that he could 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.640 unite the party by stepping down now telling his delegates 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.160 to go support Trump, and then he looks like a 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.280 big hero, unites the party, he becomes a big hero, 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.280 he gives the Republican's time to get ready for the 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.880 fight in November. Instead what he probably will be if 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.120 he continues on, he'll be a SoundBite and of Clinton 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.160 commercial and then he looks like a villain and couldn't 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:47.480 be elected. Dogs. If if Senator Cruz, um, I respect 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:52.000 him like a lot, doesn't win Indiana, I would actually 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.520 say the responsibility of uniting the party is going to 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.280 be at that point, it would be Donald Trump's. And 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.000 if I was Donald Trump, I'd say that Senator Cruz, 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.680 I want you in my administration or you would be 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.200 my first Supreme Court justice pick. That's what I would say. Now, 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.680 I'm only saying that again if he doesn't win Indiana. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.480 If he wins Indiana, the game goes on. I think 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.720 without Indiana he has a very tough time, so it's 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.600 a big, big focus for his campaign. Um, but I 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.920 think I think new it was right last night. Whoever wins, 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.200 it's their responsibility to unite people, and then mentioned you 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.280 know Rick Perry and Bobby Jendall and Marco Rubio and 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.640 Scott Walker and all these other great people that you 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.720 can bring in and make a team. I kind of 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.320 like the team concept. But anyway, Melinda, great, thanks for 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:37.920 the call. Appreciate. By the way, I'm gonna give you 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.000 Sherry's Bury's you there, and I really love your TV 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.680 show in your radio Thank you. Former presidential candidate himself, 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:50.000 well presidential candidate Mr. Nine nine nine. That would be 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:51.800 Herman Kane. By the way, do you know my name? 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:57.480 Do you know your name is Herman Kane? Do you 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:03.480 know my name? N Okay told me Shane. You call 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.000 me Chap, you called me Neil, you called me everybody 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.640 on my show, but my own name. Do you even 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.040 know when you're on my show? I do now, I practice. 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.600 I told you I got it right, and you've been 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.240 Carson last night. I don't say all right. Let's go 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.480 to Ben Caane from Atlanta? I mean Dr Ben Caine. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.520 What is what are you doing to me? Good to 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.920 be with you? Man? How are you my friend? I 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:32.440 can't tell you? Uh? Shane? Ye? Look, I talked to 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.240 Shane every day on my radio show. You gotta give 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.240 me a little bit of slag. Oh man, I don't 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:43.520 know about that. My friend. That clip that you paid 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:48.920 played said it all. It is insanely ridiculous that these 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:53.080 anti Trump people are digging in their heels. And like 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.840 I said at the end of the clip, if Hillary 0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:02.560 Clinton gets elected president because Trump will did not the nomination, 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.320 it's their fault. I'm putting them on notice. I feel 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.920 that's strongly about it, and a few of the people 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.680 do also. I think it's gonna be Look, it looks 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.920 like it looks like now and Indiana is going to 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.080 tell a very big story next week. It looks like 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:24.440 Donald Trump has that he has the path and it's 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.679 going to be up to the voters in Indiana and 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.240 and subsequent states New Jersey, West, Virginia, and we all 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.120 know the states Nebraska, and then of course going into California. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:37.320 So the question is, I I cannot for the life 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.360 of me, and maybe you can explain it, because you're 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.399 probably getting the same type of social media attacks that 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.520 I am and emails that I'm getting. And I pay 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.760 attention to people because I care about my audience and 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.560 I know you care about yours. But I don't understand 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.840 never Cruiz, I don't understand never Trump. I don't understand. 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.960 I'm staying home. I don't understand at all why people 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:03.320 are creating the circuit a firing squad, because maybe they 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:09.080 haven't realized yet the ramifications are the consequences of a 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:15.480 Hillary presidency. During this primary, they're still focus on destroying 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.400 each other, and that's unfortunate. You've got the Crew supporters 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.960 trying to destroy Trump. You've got the Trump supporters trying 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:27.760 to destroy Cruise and Casey, and on and on and on. Hopefully, 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.800 once we get through this primary process, then they will 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:38.080 understand the magnitude of trying to beat Hillary for the 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.359 presidency in November. Only time will tell, all right, I 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.360 want to know this. Look, I understand we started out 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:49.560 with seventeen people, and I remember following you closely when 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.919 you ran in and and and there was a period 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.159 there where you were in the lead, and then I 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.080 we all know now, as a matter of fact, it's 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:04.440 not even it's incontrovertible that the attacks against you were vicious, 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:09.640 false lies, narratives that were advanced. I'm sure that hurt 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.720 you personally, but it also impacted your place in the race, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.359 and I thought it was extremely unfair you had I 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.520 had a lot of momentum leading up to that, but 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.960 then the process ends, and for a lot of people 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.560 that support a candidate, they seemed to be having a 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.720 tough time emotionally dealing with the fact that their guy lost. 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.680 How did you deal with it? Because you're very magnanimous. 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.480 One of the things I love about being around you. 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.920 I can't be around you without hearing that that laugh 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.800 of yours and and just having a great old time. 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:41.520 I mean, You're just a lot of fun to be around. 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.240 But I'm sure it was pretty painful for a while. 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.280 It was the way I dealt with it was I 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:52.200 explained to my supporters that my family and the lies 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.040 and the hurt that it caused my family was more 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.119 important than me continuing to stay in the race. Secondly, 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.520 because some people in the media didn't do their job. 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.920 If they had done their job, Sean, if they had 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:11.679 done their job, they would have determined that one of 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:18.239 the accusers was paid directly to read the statement against me. 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:22.520 Another accuser, if they had done their job, was found 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.440 guilty in a court of law in Georgia of lying 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:32.000 against a business partner. They didn't want to go that far. 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:36.480 All they lashed onto was a frenzy to try and 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:42.400 bring down Herman Kine. I didn't have the financial resources 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:47.639 to fight lawsuits in three instances while I was running 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:51.199 for president. That's why I had to drop out. The 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:54.720 only candidate for president running for president in the Republican 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:59.439 primary that talked to me before he declared this may 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.320 not surprise as you well, Donald Trump. And when Donald 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.280 Trump talked to me, he asked me what should I 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.240 look out for? The only advice I keep Donald Trump, 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.360 let me guess, look out for the attacks, looking out 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:17.440 for the boom, and be prepared for multiple lawsuits. This 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.840 is what I said to Donald Trump. Be and I said, Donald, 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:24.720 you have the money to fight multiple lawsuits while do 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.119 you run for president. I didn't have that kind of 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:32.200 money to fight multiple lawsuits while I was running for president. 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:34.800 That's all I told him. I didn't talk to him 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:39.480 anything about domestic policy, foreign policy. It wasn't about that. 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.320 It was about giving him a heads up of how 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:45.840 he's going to be attacked. Now Here's what I didn't know, Sean. 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:49.520 I didn't know that the Republican establishment was going to 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:53.399 be one of those that came after him. That's what 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:57.440 I am frustrated and disgusted about. What do you tell 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.440 your audience because you're a conservative, I'm a concern pervative. 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.560 I think you've taken the same position as me. You're 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.680 not endorsing, is that correct? Correct? Okay? But you had 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:09.360 your six favorites, you called them right, yes, yes, okay. 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:14.000 So when people ask you, well, is Donald Trump a conservative? 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:17.840 How do you answer that? It doesn't matter? Labels are 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:22.280 the things that the media and the liberals used to 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:27.639 try and pigeonhole candidates. Don't focus on the labels. Push 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:31.680 the labels aside, and listen for what it is that 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.879 you want to hear from that candidate. And you have 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.560 you interviewed him a lot? I did. He's been on 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:41.520 my radio show twice. Yes. And here's the thing. If 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.760 you look at the results of just Tuesday alone in 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.320 those five states, what that says to me, which is 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.119 different from the message that you're getting from the liberal media, 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:56.000 is that people look past the political noise. I said 0:22:56.440 --> 0:23:00.720 months ago. People are voting for a leader, a fighter, 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.040 and a winner. That's what they're looking for. They are 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.960 not focusing on all of the noise that's coming from 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.399 some of the liberal media and from the other Canada, 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.600 and I'm looking at that. That's why he continues to surge. 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:14.560 And I happen to believe, and I don't like to 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:17.879 make predictions, he is going to surge in Indiana for 0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:21.400 the same reasons. What are your thoughts then, on Senator 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:25.119 Cruz at this point? At this point, Senator Cruise was 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:28.960 one of my original pick six. So if he were 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:31.919 to get the nomination, which I don't think he's going 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:33.840 to get it on the first ballot and maybe not 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.960 on the second, I would still be able to support him. 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.800 I happen to thing that he has been misguided on 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.400 some of his strategy in terms of how to get 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:47.720 the nomination. And here's what I mean, his strategy after today, 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.879 I watched a couple of his interviews, watched a couple 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:54.720 of the speeches given by Cardiff Arena has been all 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:59.800 about stopping Trump. I think that's a flaw strategy. His 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:04.000 strategy ought to be Here's why I'm the better candidate. 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:07.879 But see that political consultants don't tell them that that. 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:13.680 Political consultants always tell them go on the attack, go negative, 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.920 that's how you win. I don't believe. So. Like when 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.200 I call you in eight years from now and say 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:21.760 I'm gonna run for president, what advice were you gonna 0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:23.959
