I've acted like an idiot my entire life, 52 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: he said, but I never thought I'd found a bunch 53 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: of foods like he and need to pay me. That's true. 54 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: But he's got a great sense of you, Mary does. 55 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: I had the pleasure of interview and you guys, so 56 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm listen. I'm gonna you guys control those interview because 57 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: otherwise I'm want to just take all up. I notice 58 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: what you do. So look, so the first thing I 59 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: thought of is we call this unashamed because it's been 60 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: obvious from the family's sake that we stand up for 61 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: what we believe in, no matter what I mean. Obviously, 62 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: we had a huge dust up with A and E 63 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: over it and other things that have happened. And by 64 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: the way, Sean, you were one of the first guys 65 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: that called us to check on us and to help us. 66 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: And we appreciate that because there were others, I mean, 67 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: but not many, but people that said, I know what 68 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: you guys are about to go through. You know, well, 69 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: the one thing everybody selectively hears what they want to hear. 70 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: And I was raised a Catholic, but I did go 71 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: to eight twelve years of Catholic school. In high school, 72 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: it was a seminary. I had to study. We went 73 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: up Mass every day, We studied Latin. You know, this 74 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: was seriously. You had to say you would consider the 75 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: calling in the church. Except three weeks in they said 76 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: everybody about Hannity, because we don't want you. By the way, 77 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: and that is a true story, go lie behind that. 78 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: I was pretty incorrigible. I was seventeen, eighteen years old. 79 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: Tend to barto four thirty in the morning, you know. 80 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: When I was seventeen and it was just a different 81 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: life that I had. But I do have a conscience. 82 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: I believe that's a living God within all of us 83 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: that I know pretty darned well. And I'm doing wrong 84 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: and what I'm doing right, and my conscience convicts me, 85 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: tells me to knock it off. I mean, by the way, yeah, 86 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: you're telling me to knock it off. Go ahead. No. 87 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: The people you are sparring with, yeah, every day you 88 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: just said the magic word, their conscience has been seared 89 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: over as with a hot iron. You see what I'm saying. 90 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: Because when the lies come out and you're say, wait 91 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: a minute, how could you lie? Like the conscience, it's 92 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: just seared over. You see what I'm saying. Plenty of 93 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: tech say that. Many you know, there's a reason why 94 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: one of the big ten in the Bible, if we're 95 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: gonna go there, is thou shalt not bear false witness 96 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: because it's so damaging. Fate, Jesus said, is the father 97 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: of lies and the father of murder, and I'm looking 98 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: at both of them. The ones you're dealing with are 99 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: champions of both, and it's a it's a it's a 100 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: tough battle you're end That's why We've talked to you 101 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: about spiritual matters because we want to make sure that 102 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: God has given you his spirit born of water, and 103 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: you must be born again of water and the spirit. 104 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: So when you look at that, you say, we're trying 105 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: to make sure you've got the power to withstand the 106 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: onslaught you are currently participating in. What'st and point about 107 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: this line. Look, you can deal with anything, you can 108 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: work out anything, but when you have lies, you can't 109 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: work that out. That's the only thing I punish my 110 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: kids for. I'm like, I don't care what you did. 111 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: Let's hear it. You know. I have to have my 112 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: daughter's phone. I picked it up. Is there anything in 113 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: this phone? Before I check it? I check my kid's 114 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: phones and I'm like, is there anything in here? She's like, nope, 115 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: I got in there. She's thinking all this stuff has 116 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: been deleted because it's you know, yeah, I found it, 117 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: And I'm like, what happened to this? I'm not gonna 118 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: find anything here. And that's what I was trying to 119 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: explain to it. No matter what you do, we can 120 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: work though when you lie, when we can't discover the truth, 121 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: any progress ends right there. That's where you are with 122 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: what the current struggle. You're in spiritual warfare. The evil 123 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: one works in those, he works in them, so we're 124 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: warriors work. And you say, how come they are in 125 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: lockstep and their mind is just straight and nothing seemed. 126 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: How many of them have you seen that you change 127 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: their mind? You're none. I'm ninety nine percent. That went 128 00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: down a two plus year narrative, full of lying, full 129 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: of abusive power, corruption, and they did it willingly. Listen. 130 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: I've always thought for myself. Um. I tell a story 131 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: that I was a local radio host in Atlanta when 132 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: the Richard Jewel thing happened and the Olympic bombing, and 133 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: I was on the air at the time when the 134 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: Atlanta Journal Constitution came out with the headline that he 135 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: fits the profile of the lone bomber because he lives 136 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: with his mother. And I remember, that was the dumbest 137 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: thing I've ever I'm on there, dumbest thing I've ever heard. 138 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean it It was with his mother. Probably 139 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: doesn't make enough money, so I didn't know it at 140 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: the time. Richard Jewel was listening to my radio show 141 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: and I was the only one in the media it said, 142 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not rushing to a conclusion here, and 143 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: it's not guilt by accusation in America. And it ended 144 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: up he gave me one of his first interviews. When 145 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: it was all said and done, he died forty four. 146 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure the press killed him and he did not 147 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: like it. But then, you know, the media has been 148 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: wrong on George Zimmerman and Trey von Martin. I was right. 149 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: I actually took time to go down there and talk 150 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: to the people when the Duke Lacrosse came the case 151 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: came up, I went out to Long Island and Garden City, 152 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: and I met with the parents and kids. I did 153 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: my own research UVA or Baltimore, Maryland, or Ferguson, Missouri, 154 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: or the Cambridge police or believing that Donald Trump absolutely 155 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: could win this election, or going back. I think I 156 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: was the only voice vetting Obama. And you know Frank Marshall, 157 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: Davis and Olinsky and Black liberation theology and ACORN and 158 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: community organizing and oh and he sat in the pews 159 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: of the Church of ged America for twenty plus years, 160 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: and he started his political career in the home of 161 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: two unrepentant domestic terrorists to bomb the Pentagon, the Capitol 162 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: in New York City police headquarters, and nine to eleven 163 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: two thousand and one, quoted in the New York Times 164 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: as saying, we wish we did more. That's where he 165 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: started as, so, you know the answer to your question is, 166 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: I don't feel I don't think about what I do. 167 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: I just do it. You know, have people said to Hannity, 168 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: You're probably gonna have a pre dawn raid coming pretty soon, 169 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, when I'm taking on you know, pretty powerful 170 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: people and the intelligence community. Only only a few are good, 171 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: honorable Americans that protect us. Same with the FBI. Just 172 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: a few do their job and obey the laws and 173 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: would never abuse power. But for me, it's not like 174 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: I have a choice. It just is, you know, I 175 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: do what I do. You do what you do, and 176 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: I know it's the right thing because I'm driven to 177 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: do it. Whether I want to or not, I'm stuck 178 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: doing it. This is how serious this is. This is 179 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: how you can recognize the spirit of God. Every spirit 180 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: that acknowledge acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the 181 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: flesh is from God. But every spirit who does not 182 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: acknowledge Jesus is not from God. He's the spirit of 183 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: the Antichrist, which you've heard is coming. Now, what's this, You, 184 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: dear children, are from God and have overcome them because 185 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: the one who is in you, God's Spirit, is greater 186 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: than the one who is in the world. They're from 187 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: the world, and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, 188 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: and the world listens to him. We are from God, 189 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: and whoever knows God listens to us. But whoever is 190 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: not from God listen to this, does not listen to us. 191 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: That explains why you say. It's just like they're in lockstep, 192 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: coordinated evil from the evil One himself. And you say, 193 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: what we're telling you is you said, We say, Sean, 194 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: make sure you got the power within you to withstand it. 195 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: We're just saying do this. It will help greatly the 196 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: one in you. It's stronger than the one in them. 197 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: You will watch the Passion of the Christ. Oh yeah, 198 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: I cannot watch that movie Nut take me Down. Yeah, 199 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: that's right. That movie touches me deeply, I believe. Oh, 200 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: I know you wanted to me in the backup with 201 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: in the swamp with the alligators, and I said, I'll 202 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: do it, but I'm not doing it. There trust me 203 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: when I tell you I want to dun you anywhere. 204 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: Get them bucket. Now, you can duck me right here. 205 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: I don't get a hairing, some water fly it all 206 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: over my head. You're you're a good American. The reason 207 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: we connected with you immediately. I want to tell you 208 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: one thing. Sure you know how you know there's a God? Okay? 209 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: I argue with atheists on this radio program, and I say, 210 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: so you don't believe in God. Okay, you believe in 211 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: the Big Bang theory. I said, well, you what you 212 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: believe then, is that all of this energy existed. You're 213 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,239 Speaker 1: not giving me a source of the energy just existed, 214 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: and then it collides together and creates perfection. You know, 215 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: the Moon, the Sun, the stars, the planet, gravity all 216 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: at sixty six thousand and seven hundred miles an hour 217 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: as I speak, the planet, and it's doing like this. 218 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: We're turning like this at a thousand miles an hour, 219 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: universes within universes within universes. That just happened. And it's 220 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: a way, no way, and it's going around around around right. 221 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: You say, you talk about precise, We're just the right 222 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: distance from the sun. Mercury is too close Venus is 223 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: too close. We're just right. Mars is too perfect perfect. 224 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: The only ones that is not perfect as us that didn't. 225 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: But by the way, you know, but you can be 226 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: considered viewed as one hundred percent lawlessly perfect once you 227 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: believe Jesus died, was bard and raised from the day 228 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: and look already believe it. I know it. Now you've 229 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: got to enact that. You've got to die to sin 230 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: you the old year you bury it talked about your 231 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: old life. You are just as bad as me.

Later, 252 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: the economy added more than a quarter million jobs, better 253 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: than economists expected. Unemployment is at its lowest level in 254 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: almost fifty years. Wages grew faster than prices did. Do 255 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: you give President Trump the credit? I give our workers 256 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: and our businesses the credit, Jake. When you're out there 257 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: across the country, you see people working harder and harder 258 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: every day. And this has meant that we are our 259 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: businesses are strong, and we're selling American goods. That being said, 260 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't sharing in this prosperity because 261 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: of the cost the cost of college, the cost of healthcare, 262 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: the fact that the president had promised that he would 263 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: bring down the prices of their prescription drugs, and that 264 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: just hasn't happened. Unemployment is the lowest it's been since 265 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: I was nine months old. You're really not going to 266 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: give President Trump any credit for that, in terms of 267 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: his tax cuts or deregulation or anything he's done. You 268 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about when we 269 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: were in that downturn and President Obama came into office 270 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: and he had to deal with that with the Congress 271 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: to try to one write the financial industry and then 272 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: two get us on the road to recovery. And I 273 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: remember that the Republicans were giving him grief when he 274 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: took any credit for that. So I think that we 275 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: have had policies in place, starting with President Obama, that 276 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: have aided that recovery. Are you concerned that impeachment talk 277 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: may actually help the president's reelection. I'm concerned that if 278 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: we don't impeach this president, he will get reelected. If 279 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: we don't impeach him, he will say he has been vindicated. 280 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: You have said that you think that the Hush to 281 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: Share Committee should open impeachment procedures. I think they should 282 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: begin the process. I do think they should begin the process. Yeah, 283 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: of course, she thinks they should begin the process and 284 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: the only one speaking the truth and all that was 285 00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: Al Green. You got this Alabama Democratic state representative, if 286 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: you know, going after Donald Trump Junior, you know, using 287 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: the R word, which I guess now you're not allowed 288 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: to use it, and then saying he's the best defense 289 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: for having an abortion. It doesn't get but Al Green's 290 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: saying something that's true. Oh, we better impeach him because 291 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: otherwise he's gonna get reelected. An acknowledgement that yeah, he's 292 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: gonna get reelected. You know. But this is all part 293 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: of the media of madness in this country. I look, 294 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: I think, as I said yesterday, it's worse than it 295 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: was on election night twenty sixteen. And these the mass 296 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: psychosis that then followed, and the hatred and the rage 297 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: is you know, they all thought Muller, which is now 298 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: officially dead. There's no more Mueller talked that is of 299 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: any significance or meaning whatsoever. All it is now is 300 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: noise and Gerald Nadler trying to put on a show 301 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: and moving towards some type a contempt effort against the 302 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: Attorney General because he wants to change a rule that's 303 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: been established for two hundred and six years. Even heat 304 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: they're afraid to, I guess interview Bar by themselves. They 305 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: want their lawyers to do it. Well, that has not 306 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: happened in the two hundred and six year history of 307 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: the House Judiciary Committee, of which he is now the chairman, 308 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: not once. So Barr is saying, well, I'm I'm glad. 309 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: Of course, Congress has the right to oversight, but oversight 310 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: by the people that were elected that are accountable to 311 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: their to their constituents, not strangers because we're too weak 312 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: to do the job. It doesn't work that way, you know, unelected, 313 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: unaccountable bureaucrats. What to cover for you? Eight hundred nine 314 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: four one Seawan Tolfrey a telephone number. Were joined by 315 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: Kaylee McEnaney, national press secretary for Trump twenty twenty, and 316 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: Jeff Lord. He has a new book coming out called 317 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: The Swamp Wars, Donald Trump and the New American Populism 318 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: and the Old versus the Old Daughter. Well that's not 319 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of the hatred of Trump, 320 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: Jeff and welcome back both of you, is it's all 321 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: rooted in the fact that he's not them. He's never 322 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: going to be them. If he cured cancer, gave every 323 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: American five million dollars co opted. Even the New Green 324 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: Deal agenda dropped another one hundred and fifty billion dollars 325 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: on the Tarmacs of the Mullows in Iran. They'd still 326 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: hate him, Yeah, they would sewn. And you know, I 327 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: think one of the things that really drives this is 328 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: that he could have been one of them, had he 329 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: chosen to be so. I mean, this is a guy 330 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: who went to an Ivy League school there at the 331 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: University of Pennsylvania, and he's made himself into a billionaire. 332 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: How easy would it have been for Donald Trump to 333 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: be one of them? He not only doesn't want to 334 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: be one of them, I mean he just projects them 335 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: out of hand, and they hate him for it. They 336 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: just cannot abide him. Well, I mean, you were one 337 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: of the few of us that saw it coming. I'm 338 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: beginning now to think, Kaylee mcinnanny, that you know, it 339 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: was so bad post twenty sixteen, Remember the exit polls 340 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: showed that Donald Trump didn't win a state, and just 341 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: like two thousand and four, it showed John Kerry was 342 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: going to be the next president. And I don't think 343 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: this president in particular, polls very well just just by 344 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: virtue of the vale. I don't think. I think a 345 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: lot of people are like, we're not. You don't ask 346 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: me your nosy questions who I'm voting for. It's none 347 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: of your business. And frankly, if anyone asked me, I 348 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: probably would have said Hillary. I never get asked. I've 349 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: never been interviewed after I vote. But the point of 350 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: it is is their reaction from that day forward. Once 351 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: the night started to roll in and Donald Trump became 352 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: clear as the next president of the United States, there's 353 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: this collective meltdown because nobody saw it coming, number one. 354 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: And now the Muller Report, it seems that in spite 355 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: of everything we have pointed out for the last two years, 356 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: they weren't paying attention and they believed their own lies 357 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: about Russia collusion, and now they can't handle the results 358 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: of that investigation exactly, and they can't handle the thought 359 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: of the president winning re election and them once again 360 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: never seeing it coming. You know, you point out a 361 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: key fact here. I talked to a poster and they said, look, 362 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: double digits. When I went out and pulled the hidden 363 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: Trump voter, tried to find that voter that told the 364 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: poster they were voting Clinton, but really voted Trump. He 365 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: found them and to a double digit tune. So that's 366 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: why every exit poll was wrong. You know. See, Jeff 367 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: and I were both on CNN set that night. I 368 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: remember the Hillary folks rejoicing salt exit polls show Trump 369 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: losing and virtually every state like you noted. But how'd 370 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: that work out for that? Jeff and I? Uh, By 371 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: the way, when when did they stop going to you 372 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: guys for commentary? And when did the depression begin to 373 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: set in? Yes? Exactly. Oh, I was on every single 374 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: solitary network. I don't work election nights. I don't waste 375 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: my time for the five seconds they'll put me on 376 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: a Fox, So I stay home, and you know, I'm 377 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking up Cuyahoga County and how Alton County, and 378 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, southwest Florida, the Panhandle and Broward and Palm 379 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: Beach counties to see if there's any cheating going on. 380 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: And that's how I like to spend my election nights. 381 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: One of the stories I tell is that the Saturday 382 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: before the before Halloween in twenty sixteen, I put my 383 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: then ninety seven year old moman's car to garden the 384 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: countryside and get pumpkins, and I noticed there were Trump 385 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: signs everywhere, hundreds of them. I started counting there was 386 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 1: one Hillry signs. I get to CNN on the following Monday, 387 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: I tell that story on the air and they're all 388 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: looking at me like I'm a loon, and they're saying, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, up, 389 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: polling data, up, polling data. I mean, I tried to 390 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: tell them there was something going on here, this is coming. 391 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: It's you know, I'm just not seeing it. Therefore, in 392 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: the middle of Pennsylvania, and they just, you know, wouldn't 393 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't believe it. Well, I have listened. There was a 394 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: funny thing because Joe Biden, I know, he went to 395 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: you and gave a U in speech and maybe he 396 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 1: acknowledges that if he can't win, Pennsylvania's not going to win. 397 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: Here's the problem. The economy in Pennsylvania is so strong 398 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: right now that they're actually going inside of prisons asking 399 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: the prisoners when are you getting out? Because we want 400 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: to hire you. Um, that's a that's a big problem. 401 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: We now have one point seven million more jobs available 402 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: than we have people on unemployment. I mean, I drive 403 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: around this area. All I see are not all, but 404 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: I certainly see more and more, plenty of plenty of 405 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: now hiring sunnage. They're all over the place, sure, exactly. 406 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: And I think that's the point. I think, you know, 407 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: how do you win in that economy? With that economy 408 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: so strong, you know that anybody that wants a job 409 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: is working. That's why we have record low unemployment of 410 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: fifty year, record low unemployment numbers in the country. Now, 411 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: what they can't figure out is, well, it happened when 412 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: Reagan was president, Now it's happening again, when when when 413 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: Trump as president. It's the same policies that they put 414 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: in place, eliminating the bureaucracy, cutting back needless and burdensome regulation, 415 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: and lowering taxes and incentivizing investment. It's not that hard, Kayley. 416 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: It's exactly right. Free market policies work. We have the 417 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: hottest economy on record to day maybe nineteen eighty which 418 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: was probably right there right there with us. So you're 419 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: exactly right. In Pennsylvania you point out lowest unemployment rate 420 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: on record, And I can tell you this, the Democrats 421 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: aren't going to win by going around and putting forth 422 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: these policies like Joe Biden saying China's not a threat, 423 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: when meanwhile President Trump rightfully points out we lost sixty 424 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: thousand factories when China entered the WTO. It's an extraordinary 425 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: number that even the Washington Post fact checkers, who we 426 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: know are always off base, rated as true. So you're 427 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: not going to win going around underestimating the threats we 428 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: face from China against the hottest economy on record, brought 429 00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: about by free market policies. Right as we continue with 430 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: Jeff Lord and Kaylee mcinanny. So now we've gotten an 431 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: issue that everybody pretty much in the media, there is 432 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: a very small group of us that saw an entirely 433 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: different set of facts emerging the last two years, and 434 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: that is, oh, a rigged investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server, 435 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: real obstruction of justice. Then we saw a dirty Russian 436 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: dossier bought and paid for by Clinton with funneled money 437 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: to Fusion GPS through a law firm hiring a guy 438 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: that we're going to break a big story tonight with 439 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: our friend John Solomon about how everybody knew what Christopher 440 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: Steele's agenda was and they still used his dirty dossier, 441 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: which the New York Times is even suggesting could be 442 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: Russian disinformation from the get go. How does Muller justify 443 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: not going into that issue. But that became then the 444 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: basis of these four FAIZA warrant applications, the original in 445 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: October twenty sixteen on the Trump campaign. Now we've got 446 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: Stefan Helper spying on the Trump campaign. And now we've 447 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: got the added component of some you know, hot spy 448 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: coming on to George Papadopolis flirting with him in an attempt. 449 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: How many spies were there, how many attempts to spy 450 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: on the Trump campaign were there? And who ordered it? 451 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: And why wasn't any of that looked into by Muller? 452 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: I mean, that's absolutely right, and showing the thing that 453 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: I think is so notable here is all these people 454 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: that you have had on your show for the last 455 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: two years have very patiently and relentlessly spent time unraveling 456 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: the facts. Meanwhile, the mainstream media has gone out of 457 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: its way to ignore the facts and and bet the 458 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: ranch on some collusion fantasy that just simply never happened. 459 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 1: I mean, it is the most massive piece of journalism 460 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: malpractice that I think we've ever seen in American history. 461 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: That is a big story in and of itself right there. Oh, 462 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: I think it is too, and it's you know, do 463 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: they care about the truth? No? Now has anybody in 464 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: the media apologized. No, they just doubled down on stupid 465 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: And I think it was bad their reaction of the 466 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election results. It's even worse to the Mulla 467 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: report that they put so much faith, hope and trust 468 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: in didn't come out the way they wanted Kaylee, and 469 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: I just think that at the end of the day, 470 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: they're never gonna change. There's never any hope for them. 471 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: They are agenda driven at the highest level possible. That's 472 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: exactly right, and they commit journalist sick malpractice regularly. Look, 473 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: you know you've reported on these huge scandals that have happened. 474 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: If investigation started on a fraudulent document funded by Democrats, 475 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: there's not been a single prosecution, by the way. But 476 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: last week you have a New York Times finally confirming, Hey, 477 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: there were human sources on Popatapolis more than what we knew. 478 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: How many networks picked up that coverage. How many newspapers 479 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: ran with that coverage. None? Because they have an agenda, 480 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: They're not going to change, and they're going to derelic 481 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: their duty to report the facts and be journalists. They 482 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: don't deserve that title that they hold. You know, you 483 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: just watch CNN Fake News. You know there's Wolfie Blitzer 484 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: asking will they throw the US Attorney in jail? You 485 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: know they're they're talking now such insanity that they'll send 486 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: the Sergeant of Arms to capture the Attorney General and 487 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: bring him in in handcuffs before Congress, as if that's 488 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: going to happen. I mean, this is how insane. Then 489 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: you've got NBC, this guy, what's his name, the guy 490 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: before Rachel Maddow, somebody Hayes. I don't know this guy's 491 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: so he actually has a theory about it, conspiracy where 492 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: millions of millions of business owners were secretly plotting to 493 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: damage Obama's economy and then now they're secretly plotting together 494 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: to benefit the Trump economy. And he's making these statements. 495 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you how do you advance something 496 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: that nuts? Not for nothing? Do you call them conspiracy TV? 497 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean it is just stunning to watch. I thought 498 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: to myself, the real invisible headline here is Kennedy was right, 499 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: But we don't want to say it. No, listen, yeah, 500 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure that the hell will freeze over. First, Jeff Floyd, 501 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Kenley mcdanny, thank you when 502 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: we come back. The President has granted clemency a full 503 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: pardon for former Army First Lieutenant Michael B. Hannah of Oklahoma. 504 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: He'll join us in his first interview, and he had 505 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: been sentenced to twenty five years in prison for a quote, 506 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: unpremeditated murder in a combat zone. President did a huge 507 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: did the right thing when you get to the details 508 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: of this case in the run, Yes, that didn't take 509 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: you a second. Two strikes, the first strike, in the 510 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: last strike. What are the conditions are the circumstances would 511 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: justify going to war with Iran? Well, Iran struck out 512 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: militarily against the United States or against our allies in 513 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: the region, then I would certainly expect a devastating response 514 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: against Iran. As somebody who fought in two fronts in 515 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: the Middle East, both in Iraq and in Afghanistan, do 516 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: you think it would be a good idea to go 517 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: to war with Iran? No, I don't advocate military action 518 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: against Iran. I'm simply delivering the message that if Iran 519 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: were to attack the United States, it would be a 520 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: great miscalculation on their part and there would be a 521 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: furious response. Now, we don't want to govern Iran. We 522 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: don't want to rule eighty million Iranians. We want eighty 523 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: million Iranians to be able to govern themselves. Where are 524 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: you on regime change? What I want is to have 525 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: an outlaw regime change its behavior, to rejoin the civilized 526 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: world and stop supporting terrorism and trying to overthrow the 527 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: governments of so many of its neighbors. Ultimately, it's up 528 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: to the Iranian people and their leaders to decide how 529 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: they're going to govern their country. But with men like 530 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: those in charge of Iran, I think we're going to 531 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: see what we seem for the last forty years, which 532 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: is a revolutionary theological movement that's hijacked the powers of 533 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: a nation state. I wonder if that means on any 534 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: level to you that war is inevitable. War is never inevitable. 535 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: War is always the product of human choices. All Right? 536 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: That was Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas in an interview. 537 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: It took me by surprise. I'm going to get into 538 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: this issue of the US winning a War against the 539 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: Ran and two strikes. For those of you that don't know. 540 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: Senator of Cotton is a combat tour vette and served 541 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: as a platoon leader for the Army's third Infantry Regiment 542 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: at Arlington. He actually was a new book out that 543 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: pays homage to these soldiers who have gone before all 544 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: of us and did what they did and served their country, 545 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: many of them losing their lives in the course of 546 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: that duty and honor in service for other people. And anyway, 547 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: it's called The Soldier Soldiers Toured at Arlington National Cemetery. 548 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: Pretty inspiring portrait of Arlington. If you haven't been there, 549 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: you need to go and Arlington Cemetery's Old Guard, but 550 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: also chronicling his personal journey in time as a platoon 551 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: leader in the unit. Senator, how are you welcome to 552 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: the program? Hey, Sean, it's great to be on the program, 553 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: and thank you very much for your interest in sacred duty. 554 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's a great honor to be able to 555 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: serve at the Old Guard in two thousand and seven 556 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: and two thousand and eight between my overseas tours, and 557 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,479 Speaker 1: it was a great honor to spend the last year 558 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: back at the Cemetery with the soldiers of the Old 559 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: Guarden to tell their story and sacred duty. Well, this 560 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: is important, an important part of your history is that 561 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: for over sixteen months in seven and oh eight, you know, 562 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: between combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, you served as 563 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: the platoon leader of this Old Guard, the Army's third 564 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: Infantry Regiment at Arlington. These soldiers have been embodied, you know, 565 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: they embody the ideals of honor and sacra face. So 566 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: between that time, what did you actually do there, Sean, 567 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: I was a platoon leader with the Old Guard whose 568 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: primary mission as military honored funerals in Arlington National Cemetery. 569 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: We'd perform twenty to thirty funerals a day for veterans 570 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: of World War Two and Korea and Vietnam, and unfortunately 571 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: active duty burials for those who had just been killed 572 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: a few days earlier in Iraq and Afghanistan. You know, 573 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: we can do up to one hundred funerals in a week. 574 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: I probably did four to five hundred funerals in my 575 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: time at Arlington. But the distinguishing hallmark of the Old 576 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: Guard is their pursuit of perfection and everything they do 577 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: they're ethos of excellence, because even though we might have 578 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: performed twenty to thirty funerals a day, we knew for 579 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: that fallen hero and for that family at the grave site, 580 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: that was the only funeral they were ever going to see. 581 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: That was a once in a lifetime moment, and it 582 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: was a lifetime in a making, and we owed it 583 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: to our comrades in arms to pay tribute to them. 584 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: We also knew that it helped create the next generation 585 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: of guardians for this nation. Whenever young men and women 586 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: see the way our nation honors our war fallen, know 587 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: that they will be treated in the exact same way if, 588 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: having prevailed, they joined the military, when they grow up 589 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: and they have to go down range to fight and 590 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: they lose their life. I think it's a really important 591 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: message that we send in the next generation of American 592 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: that we started at the very beginning of this country 593 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: back in the Revolutionary War, and we carry forward to today, 594 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: that there's no one we honor more than our warriors, 595 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: and especially those who have laid down their life in 596 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: defense of our nation. What is the reaction? Is it 597 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: every time the same when taps are played or twenty 598 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: one gun salute. I don't know if that's included in 599 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: every funeral, But I know my father's buried in a 600 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: military grave site as well. He fought in More War two. 601 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: Taps is played every military honor funerals. The big guns 602 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: are fired at certain funerals for senior officers or for 603 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 1: senior civilians inside the Department of But you know, it's 604 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: a mournful tune, and many families lose their composure. Obviously, 605 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: the the raw, the raw and newer that the death was, 606 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: the harder it is on the family. But of course 607 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: that kind of thing sticks with you. It stays on 608 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: your mind after the funeral. If you've seen a young 609 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: widow received the flag from you sobbing at the loss 610 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: of her husband and what it means to raise the 611 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: two small children next to her without their death dad 612 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: for the rest of their lives. Did you speak those 613 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: words on behalf of a grateful nation? Did you do that? 614 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: We did. It's called condolence to the shun um and 615 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: it's part of the test that all officers and NCOs 616 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: have to undergo before they can be certified to perform 617 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: a funeral in the cemetery um. It's uh, you know 618 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: something that you don't forget when you've been down on 619 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: a knee and you take that flag and you put 620 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: it in tell us the whole tell everybody whole process, 621 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: if you don't mind walking through, because this is after 622 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: they fold the flag that was draped over the casket 623 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: and it's folded with the honor that it deserves, and 624 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: then take it from there. Yeah. So once the family 625 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: is next to the grave side, once everything is in position, I, 626 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: as the officer in charge at the head of the grave, 627 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: would step away. The chaplain would step in, and the 628 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: chaplain was the main link to the family. The chaplain 629 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 1: would know about the soldier whom we were honoring, whether 630 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: he had just passed away in Iraq and the conditions 631 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: of his death down range, or if he was a 632 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: order or two veteran. The chaplain would form a short 633 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: service and then step out, at which point I would 634 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: step back into the head of the casket. That was 635 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: the queue for the casket team, which had been holding 636 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: the flag taught to begin to fold the flag. That 637 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: is a precise maneuver. They have exactly one minute fifty 638 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: five seconds to fold it into a cris triangle and 639 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: present it to me while the US Army band plays 640 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: usually either America the Beautiful or Army blew. And then 641 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: once it's presented to me, the casket team marches off, 642 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: and I turned and walked to the next appn I 643 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: take a knee, and I present the flag to the 644 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: next appen and then I recite the condolences on behalf 645 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,439 Speaker 1: of the President and the Army and a grateful nation. 646 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: And then I stand and I salute, and then I 647 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: returned to the head of the casket. While So the 648 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: whole thing that you sayed the So you take a knee, 649 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: you present the flag. You have white gloves on. I 650 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: know I remember that part. And what are the exact 651 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: words you say? Yeah, So you go over, you do 652 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: have your dress uniform on and the white gloves on. Um, 653 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: you take that knee and you present the flag, and 654 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: then you recite the condolences. Now the condolences have changed 655 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: just a little bit since the time I was there. 656 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: UM what they and that was done to harmonize them 657 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: across all four services, Um, And today the condolences are 658 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: on behalf of the President of the United States, the 659 00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: United States Army, and a grateful nation. Please up this 660 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved 661 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: one's honorable and faithful service. And when the next appin 662 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: takes the flag, you stand and you salute, one final 663 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,919 Speaker 1: salute to the flag that had adorned their loved ones. 664 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: Remains unbelievable. You know, we don't honor those brave men. 665 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: We don't think. I mean, we don't wake up every 666 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: morning and say, ah, I'm so free, you know, and 667 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: you take we take it for granted. I mean, like 668 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 1: a lot of blessings of life. And then you think 669 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: of all the people that have died in all the 670 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: wars this country has had to endure. And America, as 671 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: I often say, is the country. There's never been a 672 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: country that has accumulated more power, abused it less and 673 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: we're not a perfect country, but also used it to 674 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: advance the human condition more than the United States of America. 675 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 1: Just a fact. But let me ask you, let me 676 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: ask you this question. Okay, go ahead, Yeah, as you say, 677 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: that's an absolute fact, Sean. And then those young men 678 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: and women, whether that they're at Arlington National Cemetery or 679 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 1: fame divisions like one hundred first Airborne Division where I serve, 680 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: that have done that good on behalf of our nation. 681 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: And as you say, probably most of us in civilian 682 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: life probably don't think enough each day about those Americans 683 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: who laid down their life and the fact sacrifices their 684 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: family made. But as I write and Sacred Duty, that's 685 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: part of the reason why we have a unit like 686 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: the Old Guard of Arlington to every single day in 687 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: the cemetery, whether it's at a military honor funeral or 688 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier for the eighty 689 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: second consecutive year, to express our gratitude, our reverence, and 690 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: even our love as a nation for those fallen heroes 691 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: and their families. We don't have the freedoms without these guys. 692 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: We don't have this country without them. And again, you 693 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: don't wake up every morning when you think of how 694 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: profound it is. You know, no greater love love have 695 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: manned for another than to lay down their life and 696 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,240 Speaker 1: all these people have. It strikes you and you realize 697 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: that the lives we enjoy are because of so many 698 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: sacrificing But let me ask you why I have you 699 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: on the phone. I want to And by the way, 700 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,320 Speaker 1: it's a great book. It's coming out May fourteenth. Sacred Duty, 701 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: a Soldier's tour at Arlington National Cemetery. I have studied 702 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 1: this Iranian situation a lot over the years, you know. 703 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: I can remember when the Shah was removed and out 704 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: of France comes the Ayatollah and that theocracy emerges. And 705 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: I was very angry when Obama dropped one hundred and 706 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars in cash another currency on the tarmac 707 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: and Iran for the mullah's that chant death to America 708 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: and death to Israel, etc. They've been saber rattling the 709 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: last week or so. You, in an interview, I believe 710 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: it was on PBS, said that you believe the US 711 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: could win the war against Iran and two strikes, and 712 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about it, because I think 713 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: we're all pretty confident that they, as evil as they are, 714 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: they have intelligently moved a lot of their nuclear sights 715 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: all around the country, deeply embedded into the ground, and 716 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: which make taking those sites out alone a monumental military task. 717 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: Well Sean, to be exact, what I said on PBS 718 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: is that we would resolve dispute in one strike, because 719 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,760 Speaker 1: I said that if there were a military conflict with Iran, 720 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: there would only be two strikes. The first strike and 721 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: the last strike. What I mean by that is that 722 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 1: we don't seek war with Iran. We're not taking military 723 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: action just for the hell of it. But if Iran 724 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: were to attack us, attack one of our ships in 725 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: the Persian Gulf, attack our troops in Iraq, or attack 726 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 1: the personnel the thousands and thousands of citizens in addition 727 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: to diplomats and soldiers that we have living in the 728 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: reason in the region, by taking the first strike against us, 729 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: they would be guaranteeing that we take the last strike 730 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: against them. They might start a battle, we would be 731 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: the ones ending the battle, and we would eat it 732 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: at time in a manner of our choosing. We lost 733 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: fifty eight thousand troops in Vietnam. I think grand total 734 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: Iraq and Afghanistan somewhere between seven eight thousand, and so 735 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: many more permanently injured, losing limbs, etc. And I've met 736 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: many of the families, gold star families, families that have, 737 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: you know, injuries that are forever life changing. I don't 738 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: like how we politicize war anymore. I don't like the 739 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: idea that we don't fight them to win them. It 740 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: seems we're all gung home when we start, then it 741 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: gets seen through the prism of politics and we're not 742 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: winning it. And then it raises a question when Harry 743 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: Truman hit Hiroshima Nagasaki it was over. Did innocent people die? Yeah, 744 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: we did not start that war either. My father served 745 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,760 Speaker 1: four years in the Pacific. Do we have to reconsider 746 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: how war is fought and only get engaged. We can't 747 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: have guys in Irago and door to door anymore, and 748 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:55,959 Speaker 1: they don't even have uparmored humvees for crying out loud. Yeah, so, Sean, 749 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: It's not in our interest, nor should we desire to 750 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: try to govern a million Iranians. I would much rather 751 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,760 Speaker 1: eighty million Iranians be able to govern themselves in basic 752 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: stability and peace and not be a threat to the 753 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: United States and a threat to the security of a 754 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:15,400 Speaker 1: vital region as well. That's why when I say that 755 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: there would be two strikes, the first strike and the 756 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: last strike, we would not precipitate and we have not 757 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: taken any actions to precipitate the increased attentions you see 758 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: in the Persian Gulf region right now. The administration is 759 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: responding prudently to very serious, incredible threats against the United States, 760 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: our personnel, and our interests in the region. I hope, 761 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: by virtue of the actions we've taken, deploying an additional 762 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: carrier strike group and more bombers and patriot missile systems, 763 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: that we have sent the signal to Iran that they 764 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: need to stand down from some of the threatening actions 765 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: they're taking. I've got I should make moment, Yeah, make unmistake, 766 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: will bit. I just want the next generation of weaponry 767 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: to be I want our wars to be fought in Tampa. 768 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: That's it. In other words, that seriously, I want the 769 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: next ration of weapons. We can't go to door to 770 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: door anymore. We can't do it. There's too many kids sacrificing. 771 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: Then it gets politicized. Then you have to ask, well, 772 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: why did we even begin it? And that infuriates me 773 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: because it shows a lack of respect for what we're 774 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: asking these kids to do. If we're going to fight 775 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 1: a war, you better fight, and you better win it, 776 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: and you better win it fast. That's how we have 777 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: to fight it. I think, yeah, I think what the 778 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: Department of Chance is trying to do, what Chairman Joe 779 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 1: Gunferd is trying to do, is provide the options to 780 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: the president should Iran strike the United States and our personnel, 781 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 1: our interest, I gotta I gotta run those center. I'm 782 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 1: not trying to cut you off here, but we're just 783 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: up on the on the clock. Listen. We really appreciate 784 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: your time, UM, and thanks for all you doing. The 785 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 1: book is out May fifth, May fourteenth, Sacred Duty has 786 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: told your's tour at Arlington National Cemetery. Um, there is 787 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: a new book out that I've been reading and I 788 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 1: am fascinated by. And I very rarely do I say 789 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 1: wow when you hear somebody that's got a little bit 790 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 1: of intellectual honesty, probably doesn't agree with a lot of 791 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: maybe my policies or I stand, but but see something 792 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: that is so obvious to see, and they have a 793 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 1: willingness to speak out. Now, there have been a few people, 794 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: for example, with this deep state gait, the abuse of power, corruption, 795 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: using the powerful tools of intelligence against the American people, 796 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: rigging an investigation into one presidential candidate, and the evidence 797 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: is overwhelming and incontrovertible that that candidate should have been 798 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: put in jail, then of course we're gon We're gonna 799 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: get a FISA warrant application using a phony Russian dossier 800 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: that The New York Times is now finally saying, oh, 801 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: that was probably Russian disinformation. Great, because we had four 802 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 1: FISA warrants that were used against the Trump campaign, one 803 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,399 Speaker 1: before the election to get a backdoor into all things 804 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 1: candidate Trump, and then finally used to bludgeon the president, 805 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: as we've now had for two and a half plus years, 806 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: and it hasn't stopped. Just to give you a sense, 807 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 1: before we get to Brett Easton, Ellis's with us. He's 808 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: written a brand new book. It's called White. He's gonna 809 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 1: explain it in a second. He talks about those that 810 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 1: just can't handle some simple, basic, fundamental truth. Listen. So 811 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: right now we have Hillary's about seventy five or eighty 812 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,919 Speaker 1: percent favorite. We have a different person forecast. Has Hillary 813 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: been up by double digits nationally twelve points fifty to 814 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight and four way race? Clinton leading in Florida, 815 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: Clinton leading in North Carolina, Clinton leading in Ohio, Clinton 816 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 1: leading in Nevada.

Now they're not 829 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: laughing so much. I'll tell you no. There's still can't 830 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 1: Face Reality, which is the premise behind this brand new book. Now. 831 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: It's written by Brett Easton. Ellis is an author screenwriter. 832 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: It's called White and he talks about the nanny state, 833 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 1: crying about the twenty sixteen elections. You don't agree with 834 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 1: much of my politics. I'm assuming we're having real reading 835 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 1: this book. Well, I'm I'm I'm not partisan. You know, 836 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,280 Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of the aisle, and I always 837 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,400 Speaker 1: have been, and I didn't really pay attention to politics 838 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: until this last election, where the mainstream news media that 839 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: I trusted for all my life, whether it was in 840 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: York Times or CNN. I mean, I'm saying that now 841 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: with a smile on my face, began to offer me 842 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 1: this shifting reality that I didn't think was true about 843 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 1: the campaign and about the election, and I started to 844 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,800 Speaker 1: pay closer attention to what was going on and became 845 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: seriously annoyed. Listening to that round up that you just 846 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:46,320 Speaker 1: played is hilarious but also deeply, deeply annoying, and I 847 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: think the same thing can happen when you find those 848 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,399 Speaker 1: videos of election night on YouTube, much the same way 849 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 1: that I think finding videos about people believing in the 850 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: Mulla Report for the last two years are also quite hilarious. 851 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 1: And I'm going to be played for generations to come 852 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: on YouTube. You know, the media comes up with a 853 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: narrative that they want to believe in, and I never 854 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: really had seen that before. I hadn't seen the media 855 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 1: actually play out like a fantasy that they had, and 856 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:17,760 Speaker 1: it was extremely disturbing to me. You know, it's scary, 857 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,760 Speaker 1: and you talk about it, and you say it. Actually, 858 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: you're You're very creative in your writing in terms of 859 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 1: your writing style, which I like. You do have a 860 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,320 Speaker 1: great flair for writing, and you use a lot of exploitives, 861 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: which I always appreciate having been from New York. But 862 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 1: you're right, you know, the child like disbelief that had 863 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,320 Speaker 1: manifested itself immediately after the election is embarrassing, and the 864 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 1: post of what am I going to tell my daughter? 865 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: And you know people that and then on the other side, 866 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: you would meet other people that would sit and quietly 867 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,320 Speaker 1: whisper to you, I'm voting for Trump, but don't tell anybody. 868 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah that I described this in the book. I look, 869 00:49:55,320 --> 00:50:00,320 Speaker 1: I live with. My partner is far left, a salist, 870 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 1: Democrat or I don't know, democratic socialists, whatever you want 871 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: to call it. So I'm I'm in their shoes. I 872 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 1: get it. I hear it all the time. I don't 873 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 1: agree with it necessarily at all, but I understand the 874 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 1: other side to a degree. But I also did not 875 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,840 Speaker 1: understand this inability to get over the election, and it 876 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 1: started to drive me crazy at a certain point. Okay, 877 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: two months, three months, maybe four months, But when we 878 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,839 Speaker 1: hit the fifth month and my partner was talking about 879 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,760 Speaker 1: Russian conspiracy theories and we're talking about in the spring 880 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen. I started to lose it, and I 881 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: started to say, come on, you've got to get out 882 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: of this. You really don't believe that, you know, Russians 883 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: helped win this election, and also that Russians had something 884 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: to do with the Democrats losing a thousand legislative seats whenever, 885 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 1: you know, two years before or whatever. But he you know, 886 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 1: there was this belief that because Hillary loss the election, 887 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: there had to be some kind of other reason, that 888 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 1: the country was just not ready for her or didn't 889 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 1: want her, and so that that inability, that childish inability 890 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 1: to accept an election that was won legally and fairly, 891 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: began to become something ominous to me and have played 892 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: itself out through twenty seventeen, and then it started to 893 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,279 Speaker 1: play itself out through twenty eighteenth. And the final chapter 894 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,840 Speaker 1: of my book is about the summer of twenty eighteen, 895 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 1: where everything I felt imploded for the left and how 896 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,800 Speaker 1: were they going to get themselves back together? And that 897 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,319 Speaker 1: really is what the book is about. It's about kind 898 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 1: of my progression from being someone who okay, well, you know, 899 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 1: the people spoke, they wanted Donald Trump to be president, 900 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 1: and yet there was this faction of a lot of 901 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 1: people I knew who just couldn't accept it and started 902 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 1: to create narratives and fantasies about why he won. And 903 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,800 Speaker 1: we're having meltdowns. I have seen Trump derangement syndrome in 904 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: action constantly in LA and getting California and among a 905 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 1: lot of my friends. Not all of them, Okay, some 906 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 1: of them accepted it. But it got to the point 907 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: where I felt I had to write about it, and 908 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: I was, and I began talking about it on my podcast, 909 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: the Buddy Snell's podcast on patron and Um and that's 910 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: a lot and that's where a lot of white comes 911 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 1: from from my podcast. You know, I watched though then 912 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 1: a lot of the anecdote notes in the book are 913 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 1: pretty amazing. Let me ask you, as you were watching 914 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 1: this pony Russia Trump Trump Russia conspiracy, it was it 915 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 1: was like ninety nine percent of the media. And like usual, 916 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 1: I go off of my own direction and I do 917 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 1: my own thing, and fairly early on I started developing 918 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 1: sources that it was total bs. You even talked about 919 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: an incident evolving the peat tape with I didn't know 920 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 1: there was supposed to be fourteen year old Russian prostitutes 921 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 1: until I read your book, but it didn't exist. And 922 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: you talk about turning onto some of these you know networks, NBCCNN. 923 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: It was pretty much everybody, and everybody was looking at 924 00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: me like I had lost my mind. But I have 925 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 1: a pretty good track record being right, starting with Richard Jewel, 926 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 1: Dray Vaughan, and Zimmerman, Ferguson Uva, Duke Lacrosse, Baltimore, Maryland 927 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,839 Speaker 1: vetting Obama Trump can win. You know that they don't 928 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: have and I just think that there, for example, it 929 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,880 Speaker 1: wasn't hard to tell that Obama was gonna win just 930 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 1: by looking at the crowd sizes. But exactly, you know, 931 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,279 Speaker 1: I didn't go into a meltdown or a depression the 932 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: moment this guy won that I thought wasn't capable of 933 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 1: doing a good job. Well, you know, the same thing 934 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:37,400 Speaker 1: happened with this Russian hoax that began forming itself immediately 935 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,279 Speaker 1: after the election that my partner grabbed onto because he 936 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,359 Speaker 1: couldn't believe Trump won. And so then I thought, Okay, 937 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 1: this is gonna go away, This is gonna go away. 938 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 1: In a while because was there really really any proof. 939 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 1: And as we moved through twenty seventeen, I remember talking 940 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 1: to two journalists that I knew back from the day 941 00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 1: when I was living in New York and they were 942 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 1: situated in watching in DC and Appropov nothing. We just 943 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:08,360 Speaker 1: began talking on Facebook and they both told me Apropo 944 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 1: of neither one of them knowing each other. When I 945 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: asked them what's going on with this Russian conspiracy theory, 946 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,279 Speaker 1: both of them, again situated in DC, told me it's utterbs. 947 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 1: It's not true. Everyone knows it's not true, but they 948 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,320 Speaker 1: have nothing else. There's nothing else to go on. So 949 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,240 Speaker 1: you have this Russian conspiracy that sales papers, that gets clicks, 950 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 1: and it's the only way that they can survive is 951 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,360 Speaker 1: to keep this Russian conspiracy thing going. And then I 952 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 1: remember asking them, well, what's going to happen when it's 953 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: found out to be not true? And they both said, 954 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,320 Speaker 1: there's going to be a dire reckoning. There's going to 955 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,279 Speaker 1: be a dire reckoning about people trusting the media who 956 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,880 Speaker 1: sold this for two years. And where where is the reckoning? 957 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,120 Speaker 1: Because now all they're doing is pushing for Congress to 958 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: do what Muller didn't do. We now had four separate 959 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 1: collusions on Russia. We had the nine month I investigation 960 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: even struck him. Paige said, no, it didn't happen. They 961 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 1: also said that the correct it would the investigation in 962 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,480 Speaker 1: the Hillary was rigged. It's clear she violated the law. 963 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: And then we had, of course the House Intel Committee, 964 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 1: the bipartisan Senate Committee. Now the Mueller report can't be 965 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: any more clear about Russia collusion, but they want another investigation, 966 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,239 Speaker 1: so they'll use a hyperpartisan Congress that believes in the 967 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:30,760 Speaker 1: Green New Deal that eliminate oil gas, the combustion engine, 968 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,880 Speaker 1: cows and planes and everything is free, and that that 969 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 1: Congress will finally do the job that Mueller wouldn't do 970 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: and the FBI wouldn't do, and other people wouldn't do. 971 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 1: They're still hoping, assumed, well, I assumed that when the 972 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,400 Speaker 1: Mueller report finally came out and there was a Bar 973 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 1: report and all that stuff, that people would finally just realize, 974 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: we've got to move on. We have to move on. 975 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 1: Mueller was our god. We we placed all of our 976 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,839 Speaker 1: faith in him in order to whatever he was going 977 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: to do. This Trump and then ultimately what happened. There 978 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 1: was kind of this depression for about a week, this 979 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 1: kind of silence for a week, and that the people 980 00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,279 Speaker 1: who wanted to believe the the Mueller Report, like my 981 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 1: partner said, well, he's lying, it's not true. He's a 982 00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 1: stude the whole thing. Way do you tell him that way? 983 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,080 Speaker 1: Do you tell him you're on the air with me? 984 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 1: If he knows who I am, he's gonna he's gonna 985 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 1: go nuts. Yeah, but he also knows that. I believe 986 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 1: in talking to everybody. Look for this book. I've sat 987 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: down with a profile for the New York Times, for 988 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 1: the Washington Post. I also talked to Bright Bart and 989 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you. I mean, look, my partner's okay 990 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,319 Speaker 1: because Bernie Sanders was on Fox just about a week ago, 991 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 1: and I think you just have to, you know, get 992 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,839 Speaker 1: rid of that and talk to both sides of the aisle. 993 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 1: I hate this notion that people can only talk. I 994 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 1: agree with you. I think it's stupid and it drives 995 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 1: me crazy. Stay right there. So yeah, maybe I don't 996 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 1: agree with a lot of what what what you say, 997 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 1: or maybe what Fox represents, but I still believe that 998 00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,280 Speaker 1: I hate to me, I'm going to come on and talk. Brett. 999 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 1: I've been right the whole time. They were wrong the 1000 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,839 Speaker 1: whole time. So I don't have much more to say 1001 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 1: except the fact that you agree more politically with that side. 1002 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 1: Is what we're going to talk about on the other 1003 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 1: side of this break. Brett Easton Ellis he wrote the 1004 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 1: book it's called White, and it's going to be a 1005 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,080 Speaker 1: best seller. It's a very interesting read. I'm telling you, 1006 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 1: you can't put it. You can't put it down once 1007 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 1: you start talks about how the left has melted down 1008 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 1: in the country. Right as we continue, Brett Easton Ellis 1009 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 1: is with us. He's an author, screenwriters. Brand new book 1010 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 1: is out White, where he literally takes on the nanny state. 1011 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 1: Everybody on the left, they're complete meltdown over Donald Trump 1012 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 1: and his election and buying into these conspiracy theories. You know, 1013 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 1: you talked about this is going to be a reckoning. 1014 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 1: I don't see the reckoning right, Well, I see is 1015 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,480 Speaker 1: they're just gonna and I think those reporters that I 1016 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 1: talked to in the summer twenty seventeen, we're thinking that 1017 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 1: was going to happen. But there's been no sanity about this. 1018 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 1: There's been no sanity about any of this. This has 1019 00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 1: all been delusional, and you know, and I think it's 1020 00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 1: this delusion, this childlike delusion about the reality of things 1021 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 1: that it has kind of upset me the most. I mean, 1022 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to actually, you know, believe that you know, 1023 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: certain things are true or certain things are not. I mean, 1024 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 1: I like to think that there's a kind of logic 1025 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 1: to the world, and also that you're an adult, you 1026 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 1: accept things. Okay, so it didn't work out your way, 1027 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,920 Speaker 1: you move on, you find a candidate that can get 1028 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 1: Trump out of office in twenty twenty. But you don't 1029 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 1: lose your collective mind. You don't have this meltdown, you 1030 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 1: don't act like children for three years, and you don't 1031 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 1: believe in fantasies. And in many ways, that's what propelled 1032 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 1: me to put white together again. As I said, Sean, 1033 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 1: I am you know, I'm not partisan. I'm really not 1034 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 1: on either side of the aisle. But for some reason, 1035 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 1: the last three years of being around people who had 1036 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:57,960 Speaker 1: actual Trump derangement syndrome and were completely believing in these narratives, 1037 00:58:57,960 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 1: and they well, let me just tell you one thing 1038 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 1: we may share in the real world. I'm more critical 1039 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 1: of Republicans for being weak, visionless, spineless. They make promises, 1040 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,919 Speaker 1: they don't keep him. The thing I love the most 1041 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,959 Speaker 1: about Donald Trump is he's courageous. He keeps his word, 1042 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 1: his promises. He fights hard for everything he said he 1043 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,840 Speaker 1: was gonna do. How rare is that an individual? He's 1044 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 1: an individual. He's a disruptor individual. And all right, well listen, 1045 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 1: I diurage everybody. We're gonna put it up on our website, 1046 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. Brett Easton Ellis is called white and 1047 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,680 Speaker 1: it is a takedown of how the media and the 1048 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 1: left wing in this country have just lost their minds 1049 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,040 Speaker 1: since the Trump election and these conspiracy theories that followed. 1050 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:41,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, good luck to you, Brett. And if you're 1051 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,200 Speaker 1: in New York, let us know we'll put you on TV. 1052 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 1: Thanks Sean, appreciate it.
