Speaker 1: Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to
Speaker 1: the Shawan Hannity radio show podcast One night. Hundred Flowers
Speaker 1: is giving guys everywhere and awesome incentive to order their
Speaker 1: Valentine's bouquet's early right now. One eight hundred Flowers is
Speaker 1: offering up off their best selling bouquets and gifts, but
Speaker 1: only while supplies last. Go to one eight hundred flowers
Speaker 1: dot com slash Hannity one eight hundred flowers dot com
Speaker 1: slash Hannity. Months ago, as a candidate, I publicly presented
Speaker 1: a list of brilliant and accomplished people to the American
Speaker 1: electorate and pledged to make my choice from among that list.
Speaker 1: Millions of voters said this was the single most important
Speaker 1: issue to them when they voted for me for president.
Speaker 1: I am a man of my word. I will do
Speaker 1: as I say, something that the American people have been
Speaker 1: asking for from Washington for a very very long time. Today,
Speaker 1: thank you. Today, I am keeping another promise to the
Speaker 1: American people by nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch of the United
Speaker 1: States Supreme Court to be of the United States Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: And I would like to ask Judge Gorsuch and his
Speaker 1: wonderful wife, Louise too. Please step forward, please Louise judge.
Speaker 1: There they come, Here they come. Another significant promise. I thought,
Speaker 1: the most amazing thing Trump said last night is I
Speaker 1: I am. I'm checking off the list. I made a promise.
Speaker 1: I said I'd pick an originalist. I said I'd pick
Speaker 1: a constitutionalist. I said I would pick somebody for the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court that would be worthy to fill these shoes.
Speaker 1: If you, if it's ever possible, of antonin Scalia, but
Speaker 1: in the in the mold of Scalia, and Clarence Thomas,
Speaker 1: my two favorite justice has ever of all time. And
Speaker 1: you now Neil Gorsh is facing what predictably happens to
Speaker 1: any Republican that is nominated to the U. S. Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Let's take a trip down memory lane. Now, the word
Speaker 1: borking has become a verb because Democrats, predictably, there was
Speaker 1: nobody that Donald Trump could have picked where Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: and company wouldn't say, oh, they're out of the mainstream,
Speaker 1: because they want judicial activists on the court, not people
Speaker 1: that have a fidelity to the constitution, separation of powers,
Speaker 1: coequal branches of government. Somebody that wants to impose their
Speaker 1: will and values. What Democrats cannot get done legislatively, what
Speaker 1: they cannot get done at the ballot box, they have
Speaker 1: historically predictably relied on judicial activists to do for them.
Speaker 1: That's what you get in Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonja
Speaker 1: Sodomayor and and some of the other Real justice is
Speaker 1: one of the biggest mistakes was David Suitor on the
Speaker 1: court because he is a reliable activist, along with all
Speaker 1: the Democratic picks up there as well. Anyway, this is
Speaker 1: what Neil Gorsh and Republicans and the President can predict.
Speaker 1: When you don't vote, you let another church explode. When
Speaker 1: you don't vote, you allow another trust to burn. When
Speaker 1: you don't vote, you let another assault wound a brother
Speaker 1: or sister. When you don't vote, you let the Republicans
Speaker 1: continue to cut school launches and hit start. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've got the first sort of maze stream American who
Speaker 1: is articulate and bright and clean. And I don't feel
Speaker 1: no ways tired. I come too far from where I
Speaker 1: started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy.
Speaker 1: You cannot go to a seven eleven or a Duncan
Speaker 1: Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm actually old not to remember the good old days,
Speaker 1: and they weren't all that good in any way. That message,
Speaker 1: where's job give you America great again? Is if you're
Speaker 1: a white Southern You know exactly what it means, don't you.
Speaker 1: He's speaking to a population of this segment of the
Speaker 1: population who does not like to see people other than
Speaker 1: a white man in a white house, in any other
Speaker 1: elected position. I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage
Speaker 1: could be a Republican, Okay, but I need to say more.
Speaker 1: Romney wants to lected. He said in the first hundred
Speaker 1: days he's gonna let the big banks once again write
Speaker 1: their own rules, unchained Wall Street. You're gonna put you
Speaker 1: all back in Chase. Don't tell me we live in
Speaker 1: a color bland society. The Republicans know that there is
Speaker 1: the wrong agenda for African Americans. That's why they don't
Speaker 1: even want to count you in the census. They're doing
Speaker 1: everything they can to stop black people, Latinos, poor people,
Speaker 1: young people, people with disabilities from voting. It's a blast
Speaker 1: from the Jim pro past. I thought we had won
Speaker 1: that battle back in the nineteen sixties. No, I think
Speaker 1: that they played the race card on me, and we
Speaker 1: now know from memos from the campaign and everything that
Speaker 1: they planned to do it all Along Jule seven in Texas,
Speaker 1: my father was killed. He was beaten, chained and enjoying
Speaker 1: greenmouse to his day, all because he was black. So
Speaker 1: when Governor George W. Bush refused to support hate crimes legislation,
Speaker 1: it was like my father was killed on over again.
Speaker 1: Called George W. Bush and tell him to support haycroftislation.
Speaker 1: We won't be dragged away from our future. Robert Borks,
Speaker 1: America is a land in which women would be forced
Speaker 1: into back alley abortions, Blacks would sit at segregated lunch
Speaker 1: countess rogue police could break down citizens, doores and midnight raids,
Speaker 1: and school children could not be taught about evolution. Writer
Speaker 1: as an artist would be censured at the whim of government.
Speaker 1: This is a circus. It's a national disgrace. It is
Speaker 1: a high tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any
Speaker 1: way deigned to think for themselves. And it is a
Speaker 1: message that unless you cow town to an old order,
Speaker 1: you will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a Committee of
Speaker 1: the U. S. U. S. Senate rather than hung from
Speaker 1: a treat Wow, that is your modern Democrat radic party
Speaker 1: now for a full generation to two generations. This is
Speaker 1: who they are. All these people supporting them, Madonna dreaming
Speaker 1: about blowing up the White House, Ashley Judd uh all
Speaker 1: of the the opposition party, that is, the all left
Speaker 1: radical media. Chuck Todd's muslim man Muslim ban seeing it
Speaker 1: muslim man, Muslim ban, muslim It not a Muslim band
Speaker 1: when Muslims are in band, never was a Muslim band.
Speaker 1: It was a list that President Obama put forward. This
Speaker 1: is yourp this is it. You know, the amazing thing
Speaker 1: they already had printed up. Now, nobody knew who the
Speaker 1: nominee was gonna be. It was coming down to three
Speaker 1: separate people, as I told you yesterday. Now, I did
Speaker 1: get a heads up from one of my many sources
Speaker 1: who the choice was going to be before I came
Speaker 1: on the radio yesterday. But I gave my word and
Speaker 1: I don't break my word, and I knew it was
Speaker 1: gonna be the old Gorsets, which gave me time to
Speaker 1: research him, even though I had already researched him and
Speaker 1: prior and all the other people hid hild him in
Speaker 1: whatever his name is. Um. I had researched all of them,
Speaker 1: and I was prepared for any of those nominees. And
Speaker 1: I even had backup packs on everybody on Trump's list,
Speaker 1: because that's what prepared hosts are supposed to do. Now,
Speaker 1: the big issue is, how do you have prepared stop
Speaker 1: Neil Gorirish placards made up? If it didn't matter who
Speaker 1: Trump was going to pick. Of course, Chuck Schumer's going
Speaker 1: to oppose it because Chuck Schumer wants a liberal, leftist
Speaker 1: judicial activist on the court. And that's what liberals want.
Speaker 1: What they can't do the honest way, which is used
Speaker 1: there enumerated power as the legislature to get elected past legislation.
Speaker 1: When they can't get that done, then they rely on
Speaker 1: left wing justices to do for them what no legislature
Speaker 1: would ever do without being thrown out of office. That's
Speaker 1: what their goal is. Now. It's interesting to watch. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of disarray here. Yeah, it's it's gonna be
Speaker 1: very close. You need to get the sixty votes cloture,
Speaker 1: which would allow an up and down vote. If there's
Speaker 1: an upper down vote. Neil Gorsuch is a Supreme Court nominee. Now,
Speaker 1: the reason a lot of people are bringing up Merrick Garland, Well,
Speaker 1: why did the Republicans stop Merrick Garland. Well, all they
Speaker 1: were doing was following what's called the Joe Biden rule,
Speaker 1: And the Joe Biden rule was that if it's the
Speaker 1: last year in a president's term, then the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: should not vacancy should not be filled, and that it
Speaker 1: should be a referendum in the next election. Everybody knew
Speaker 1: that if Donald Trump won who his nominees would be,
Speaker 1: he would choose from a list of twenty, which I
Speaker 1: think was a brilliant move at the time and a
Speaker 1: brilliant strategy to tell everybody, see, i made a promise.
Speaker 1: I'm keeping my promise. I'm building the wall, I'm keeping
Speaker 1: my promise. I'm vetting refugees. I'm keeping my promise. I'm
Speaker 1: eliminating Obamacare where we're placing it. I'm keeping my promise.
Speaker 1: My economic plan is coming out. I'm keeping my promise.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fix the v AM keeping my promise. Wow, shocker,
Speaker 1: And he's doing it is expeditionally. I'm getting rid of regulations,
Speaker 1: I'm getting out of bad trade agreements like t p P.
Speaker 1: I want to get rid of se regulations. You can
Speaker 1: only have a new regulation if you get rid of
Speaker 1: two of them. Let's see everything he said he's doing.
Speaker 1: And this is day twelve. Day twelve, we've seen more action,
Speaker 1: more promises kept, more honesty, more truthfulness from a president
Speaker 1: or politician that I think I've seen in my lifetime.
Speaker 1: And it's refreshing. And all you never Trump or people.
Speaker 1: I took enough shots at you on Twitter last night.
Speaker 1: All you guys at the n R OH that we're
Speaker 1: so vile and vicious to Donald Trump. Bill Crystal is
Speaker 1: still clueless, absolutely clueless over there at the Weekly Standard.
Speaker 1: If he's still there, I don't even know what he does.
Speaker 1: Nothing significant that impacts any of us. You know, the
Speaker 1: only reason this happened is because you rejected the false narrative.
Speaker 1: You made your own decision. The only reason this court
Speaker 1: nominee was put forward was because of all of you irredeemable,
Speaker 1: deplorable people that cling to God, your Bibles, your guns,
Speaker 1: and your religion. You're the ones that made yesterday happen,
Speaker 1: not the conservative intelligentsia that basically we're sabotaging Trump every
Speaker 1: step of the way. Now, I'm not going to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time on them, but what's fascinating is
Speaker 1: to watch some Democrats don't want to go along with
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, and it's really for their own political survival.
Speaker 1: I might get more more slacked to Joe Manon, but
Speaker 1: he's from West Virginia. West Virginia's cold country. Remember Hillary
Speaker 1: was gonna put coal miners out of work and coal
Speaker 1: companies out of business. Joe Manon doesn't want any part
Speaker 1: of the radical left wing of his party, and I
Speaker 1: don't blame him. But by the way, at least he's
Speaker 1: one of the only Democrats that will come on radio
Speaker 1: and TV with me, and we we talked about where
Speaker 1: we are green. He said over and over again, I
Speaker 1: want to help save the country, and I went the
Speaker 1: country to be a better place that I want. Uh,
Speaker 1: the President's energy plan implemented, So I gotta give him credit.
Speaker 1: He says, I'm not going to filibuster anybody. Well, he's
Speaker 1: up for re election in Senator Claire mccaskell tweeted, we
Speaker 1: should have a full confirmation hearing process and a vote
Speaker 1: on any nominee for the Supreme Court. Well she's up
Speaker 1: for election to Senator John Tester said that the Senate
Speaker 1: should have a hearing and a vote on the president's
Speaker 1: Supreme Court nominee. Uh. Then we have Heidi Uh Hilda
Speaker 1: high Camp of North Dakota, and she called for the
Speaker 1: president's Supreme Court nominee to get a full hearing, and
Speaker 1: they absolutely receive an up or down vote. Even Chris Cohen,
Speaker 1: by the way, I actually didn't hate him too much
Speaker 1: when I met him. He said he will push for
Speaker 1: a hearing and a vote. In other words, these guys
Speaker 1: are being fair. Now that a nominee has been announced,
Speaker 1: more Democrats are are backing away. You and I don't
Speaker 1: think that Schumer. I'm actually thinking now for the first time,
Speaker 1: that there might not be a need for the nuclear option.
Speaker 1: Now Schumer is calling it the thermonuclear option. Because this
Speaker 1: guy is of such high intellect, and this guy has
Speaker 1: had a central casting in terms of his judicial mind.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable how smart this guy is, and his background
Speaker 1: and his judicial philosophy and how solid his writings have
Speaker 1: been pretty amazing. All Right, we'll get to all of
Speaker 1: this today and all the other news of the day,
Speaker 1: and Culter checks in with us at the top of
Speaker 1: the next hour is left uptil maybe we can get
Speaker 1: back to bringing jobs homes. That's jobs. J O. B. S.
Speaker 1: This is the Sean Hannity Show. We have a breaking news.
Speaker 1: We gotta breaking news sounder here, Jason, this is massive.
Speaker 1: Way do you hear breaking news? Now? Hare Sean? The
Speaker 1: opposition all left radical media is now reporting breaking news.
Speaker 1: The President, Donald Trump has left the White House on
Speaker 1: Marine one on an unannounced trip. The White House has
Speaker 1: not disclosed as destination. It will be another alt radical
Speaker 1: left media meltdown. Where is the president? Where is the
Speaker 1: press pool? Remember what happened when he went out to
Speaker 1: dinner one night with his family and didn't bring the
Speaker 1: press with him. They were freaking out. Are you going
Speaker 1: to ignore the pool? Are you going to ignore it?
Speaker 1: Apparently he didn't care. It's funny. So Trump today, earlier
Speaker 1: today talked about CNN being fake news again, there's a
Speaker 1: political story out today. Uh, we're sending surro gets because
Speaker 1: they've not gone on CNN shows icing out the network. Now,
Speaker 1: why should you go on CNN where you're called a liar?
Speaker 1: Why should you go on CNN when they mischaracterize what
Speaker 1: is truth? A Muslim band. It's not a Muslim band
Speaker 1: when the world's Muslims and not included. It never was
Speaker 1: a Muslim band anyway. So they decided, we're sending sir
Speaker 1: gets the places where we think it makes more sense
Speaker 1: to promote our agenda. So the White House official acknowledging
Speaker 1: CNN is not such a place, but adding that the
Speaker 1: band's not permanent. CNN reporters speaking on background, was more blunt.
Speaker 1: The White House is trying to punish the network and
Speaker 1: forced down its ratings. Well, it's already they're ready. Their
Speaker 1: ratings suck. I mean, it's not their good ratings. They
Speaker 1: see them every day. You know. It's funny how they
Speaker 1: lie to people about ratings and but they get killed
Speaker 1: every night. They're trying to cull CNN from the herd.
Speaker 1: The reporter said, with all due respect, I mean, if
Speaker 1: you want to hear that Donald Trump is a liar
Speaker 1: every day, that Donald Trump is rogue, that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: doesn't have the temperament, that Donald Trump's a liar, that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's and this and that and this and that
Speaker 1: and a racist on top of it all, then go
Speaker 1: turn on CNN or MSNBC. But if you want to
Speaker 1: hear that it's not a Muslim band, that nine of
Speaker 1: Muslims are not being impacted, including Indonesia, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan's
Speaker 1: the Saudias. You know, and get some facts and truth
Speaker 1: in your life. Hannity is on at ten o'clock as
Speaker 1: the antidote every night, and I would appreciate if you
Speaker 1: tune in and tell your friends, and the more of
Speaker 1: you that watch, the better it is for all of us.
Speaker 1: And what they have done is they have created an
Speaker 1: environment where after they got caught colluding with Hillary's campaign
Speaker 1: at CNN, they have totally lost legitimates. That's that's their problem.
Speaker 1: There are some things in life we prefer to delay.
Speaker 1: But you know what, seeing your wife, your girlfriend, the
Speaker 1: women you love smile, well, that should not be on
Speaker 1: the list. Now this year, I'm planning ahead with one
Speaker 1: eight hundred flowers dot com. They are the official floors
Speaker 1: of Valentine's Day and one eight hundred Flowers has white
Speaker 1: selection of beautiful rose bouquets. And the best part is
Speaker 1: they start at just now. These breathtaking roses from one
Speaker 1: eight hundred Flowers, they're all picked at their peak. They're
Speaker 1: shipped overnight to ensure freshness and of course your loved
Speaker 1: one's amazement. Now simply pick your delivery date. Let one
Speaker 1: eight hundred flowers handle the rest. One eight hundred flowers.
Speaker 1: They have exclusive offers just for you, Sean Hannity listeners.
Speaker 1: Today's offers eighteen red roses for only. You can upgrade
Speaker 1: to twenty four roses for ten bucks more only while
Speaker 1: supplies last. When it comes to Valentine's Day, don't settle
Speaker 1: for anything less than one eight hundred flowers dot com.
Speaker 1: To get amazing Valentine's Day deals like eighteen red roses
Speaker 1: or just upgraded roses for ten bucks more while supplies last,
Speaker 1: go to one eight hundred flowers dot com slash Hannity
Speaker 1: one eight hundred flowers dot com slash Hannity. Why wait
Speaker 1: to wow? Order now, and here's a refreshing change. Till
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, we have the Trump White
Speaker 1: House warning i RAN that there will be consequences if
Speaker 1: they continue to engage in missile tests and other prohibited
Speaker 1: military activity and defiance of U N resolutions and of
Speaker 1: course the Obama Deal. President Trump's National security advisor Michael
Speaker 1: Flynn said the US was officially putting a RAN on
Speaker 1: notice over its destabilizing activity. After a test fired a
Speaker 1: ballistic missile over the weekend, he said, as of today,
Speaker 1: we are officially putting a ran on notice. Without explaining
Speaker 1: exactly what that meant, I'll tell you what it means.
Speaker 1: If they don't stop it, they're gonna bomb the crap
Speaker 1: out of them, probably along with the Israelis, and take
Speaker 1: out their nuclear sights, which is what we should have
Speaker 1: done in the last eight years, except Obama was too
Speaker 1: busy us in the Mullah's ass and giving them ransom
Speaker 1: money at one point, and however, many billions of dollars.
Speaker 1: It was so ridiculous. Um, and the Iranians have never
Speaker 1: kept a deal that the number one state sponsor of
Speaker 1: terror number one? What else we got today? Um, there
Speaker 1: is a battle going on here over nominees now, I
Speaker 1: see Rex Tillerson just got through. Jamie Dupre sent his report.
Speaker 1: By the way, a lot of people asking about Jamie.
Speaker 1: Jamie is getting better. Jamie's had vocal voice issues for
Speaker 1: I guess it's about a year now, right. And Uh,
Speaker 1: he's a good friend of the program. He's still a
Speaker 1: part of our program. He sends us notes every day.
Speaker 1: We talked to him off and I see it. I
Speaker 1: would see him at every event throughout the year last year.
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't like me talking about him too much,
Speaker 1: but I'm didn't do it anyway. We love Jamie and
Speaker 1: he's still a part of the Sean Hannity Show. And anyway,
Speaker 1: he sent me his DC notes Today, Democrats boycotting the
Speaker 1: Senate Finance Committee GOP convene the panel and change the
Speaker 1: committee rules allowing them to vote on Munching and on
Speaker 1: Tom Price Treasury and Health and Human Services without Manuchin
Speaker 1: whatever his name is, uh, without any Democrats being present,
Speaker 1: and those nominations now go to the Senate floor. Democrats
Speaker 1: also boycotted another meeting of the E p A picks
Speaker 1: got prue it just a bunch of crime babies. Now,
Speaker 1: this didn't happen when Barack Obama became president. In case
Speaker 1: you're wondering, seven of his cabinet officials were already confirmed
Speaker 1: before he ever got into the White House was sworn
Speaker 1: in anyway, So the GOP did not change the rules
Speaker 1: in the Senate Environment Public Works Committee, so prue it
Speaker 1: didn't get a vote in twenty Republicans on that panel
Speaker 1: used some some tactics to delay the Obama E p
Speaker 1: A pick, but that was again laid into his presidency. Uh.
Speaker 1: Senator Jeff Sessions as advanced through the Senate Committee, finally
Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary eleven and nine, probably next week floor vote,
Speaker 1: and uh we got Tillerson through today at the as
Speaker 1: as a Secretary of State. Uh. Not clear if the
Speaker 1: Senate will work into the weekend on Sessions Trump urging
Speaker 1: McConnell to go nuclear. Now that's what I want to
Speaker 1: get to here in a second. You know, So the
Speaker 1: GOP now has to thwart democratic obstructionism and changing rules
Speaker 1: because they won't even show up at hearings because there
Speaker 1: are a bunch of big babies. And when you get
Speaker 1: a guy like arn Hatch, Mad arn Hatch actually said
Speaker 1: crap on TV today. I've known are In for a
Speaker 1: long time. One of the reasons I was I supported
Speaker 1: him in the last election is, you know, he has
Speaker 1: ushered into the Supreme Court many a candidate that we're
Speaker 1: having a tough time, including Clarence Thomas, And so I
Speaker 1: give him a lot of credit for over the years
Speaker 1: because the Court is such an important has such an
Speaker 1: important role in this country and will impact this country
Speaker 1: for generations anyway to get him to say crap was
Speaker 1: a pretty big moment for him. I thought, Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: defending sanctuary cities to a mother of a son that
Speaker 1: was murdered by illegal immigrants. Can you believe that that
Speaker 1: was a CNN town hall with Nancy Pelosi. It was
Speaker 1: Laura Wilkerson, our friend. Yeah, she was at the town
Speaker 1: hall and she but I love Laura Wilkerson. She was
Speaker 1: on our program earlier this week. UM Democrats in California
Speaker 1: are urging a statewide income tax stripe federal income tax
Speaker 1: stright to protest Trump. Oh, I guess we'll just have
Speaker 1: to let them succeed from the union and take their
Speaker 1: electoral votes with them. They want to be a sanctuary city.
Speaker 1: They want to be their own country. By the way,
Speaker 1: it's sort of like in life. Let let's say you're married,
Speaker 1: or you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend or something,
Speaker 1: and they don't want you. I don't want them, you
Speaker 1: don't want me too bad? What's the point? California doesn't
Speaker 1: want to be a part of our union? They can
Speaker 1: leave and they keep saying they want to go, And
Speaker 1: then when your taxes go up from thirteen and a
Speaker 1: half percent to don't come crying us, because that's exactly
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Any good Conservatives will be glad to
Speaker 1: take into the United States and you'll just have to
Speaker 1: give up surfing anyway in fun weekends. Um. By the way,
Speaker 1: the d n C ruled it's okay for Muslims to
Speaker 1: discriminate against gays. This was in The Hill. I wonder
Speaker 1: if those in the gate and lesbian community are paying
Speaker 1: attention to what the friends of the d n C
Speaker 1: have just done. They basically sanctioned discrimination against gays and
Speaker 1: lesbians as long as the discrimination is part of a
Speaker 1: person's deeply held Islamic faith. I was Christian, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it would be different. Anyway, They're kicking a candidate out
Speaker 1: of the chairmanship race after he told The Hill the
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison should not be the party's leader because of
Speaker 1: Ellison's religion. Discriminating against gays, Well, that's absolutely true if
Speaker 1: you look at the practice in Muslim countries and the
Speaker 1: treatment as and lesbians. By the way, the media is
Speaker 1: going insane because Ivanka and her dad, the president got
Speaker 1: a marine one and are going to an undisclosed location. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the president is going to honor a Navy seal killed
Speaker 1: in Yemen and a counter terror raid. That apparently is
Speaker 1: where he's going. That's where the big mystery is. So um,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think saying that somebody's religion if
Speaker 1: it discriminates. That's been said about Catholics and Christians all
Speaker 1: the time. Now back to the Supreme Court, as they said,
Speaker 1: this impacts this country for generations. Liberals only wanted activist
Speaker 1: justices that will legislate from the bench. Well, if you're
Speaker 1: an originalist, a conservative, a strict constructionist, Uh, if you're
Speaker 1: a textualist, you believe in the absolute interpretation of the
Speaker 1: law as it relates to our constitution. Now, people can
Speaker 1: change the constitution. We have a process amending the Constitution
Speaker 1: if you want to go through that process. But in
Speaker 1: the meantime, it's not the role of the judiciary to
Speaker 1: legislate from the bench. Now, it is also not the
Speaker 1: role of the Democrats to filibuster a qualified candidate like Neils,
Speaker 1: because Neil Gorsich it fits every category, has an incredible,
Speaker 1: impeccable record, has fidelity to the constitution, believes in separation
Speaker 1: of powers, not legislating from the bench. So anyway, The
Speaker 1: President said that he would urge fellow Republicans in the
Speaker 1: Senate to invoke a rule change like Harry Reid did
Speaker 1: to force a simple majority rather than getting to do
Speaker 1: a cloture vote of sixty, which is needed to then
Speaker 1: have the vote on the Justice. He said, if we
Speaker 1: end up with gridlock, I would say, if you can, Mitch,
Speaker 1: go go for the nuclear option. We end up with
Speaker 1: the same grid luck that they've had in Washington. To
Speaker 1: the list longer than eight years, and all fairness to
Speaker 1: President of mom a lot longer than Ada is going
Speaker 1: to we end up with that grid love. I would
Speaker 1: say you can, Mitch gonc because that would be a
Speaker 1: absolute shame if a man of this quality was caught
Speaker 1: up in the web. So I would say it's up
Speaker 1: to match, but I would say go for it, alright,
Speaker 1: So go nuclear now. Mitch McConnell had an op ed
Speaker 1: out today. He said that Neil Gorsch is universally respected
Speaker 1: on both sides of the aisle as a consistent, principal
Speaker 1: fair jurist. He has a sense of fairness and impartiality
Speaker 1: that is a keystone of being a judge. As one
Speaker 1: Democratic senator and former Obama cabinet official put it, He's right,
Speaker 1: Corsich follows the law where it leads him, not where
Speaker 1: he wants it too, which is a true testament to
Speaker 1: the man. And then he talked about what a great
Speaker 1: choice he was, and he talked about how the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court and the attack of liberals. You know, when when
Speaker 1: Gerald Ford dominated John Paul Stevens, they attacked Stevens as
Speaker 1: anti woman. When Ronald Reagan picked Anthony Kennedy, they said
Speaker 1: Kennedy was unqualified. When George Bush put forward David Suitor,
Speaker 1: they declared Suitor a threat to minorities. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: just the same thing they do every day. And then
Speaker 1: of course what they did to Robert Bork and what
Speaker 1: they did to Clarence Thomas. This is what democrats do.
Speaker 1: This is how they This is the only thing that
Speaker 1: they are, the obstructionists anyway. So I got some other
Speaker 1: things about there's a lot to like about Neil Gorsuch,
Speaker 1: And you know, Democrats loved him back in two thousand
Speaker 1: and six. Many of the same Democrats who are now
Speaker 1: complaining actually supported Neil Gorsuch. And back in two thousand
Speaker 1: and six when they confirmed him for the Appeals Court
Speaker 1: without so much as a single dissenting Democrat. Oh, let's see.
Speaker 1: That included Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Harry Read, Chucky Schumer,
Speaker 1: Dick Derby, Diane Feinstein, Senator Cantwell, Senator Carper, Senator Lahy,
Speaker 1: Senator Menendez, Senator Murray, Senator Nelson, Senator Reid, Senator Staban,
Speaker 1: now Senator Widened. Well, now it's down. Apparently they in
Speaker 1: their own way, think that they picked a racist. They
Speaker 1: have picked a man that's not gonna be compassionate to women.
Speaker 1: So we'll watched this thing unfold very quickly. You know,
Speaker 1: even Barack Obama said you can't block a Supreme Court
Speaker 1: justice because you didn't win. He said this, you gotta
Speaker 1: look out for America's best interest, not just when it's easy,
Speaker 1: but when it's hard. And that's what Patrick Murphy understands.
Speaker 1: That's what Hillary Clinton has done her entire length. She
Speaker 1: knows that in this big, diverse country, democracy can't work
Speaker 1: if all we're about is trying to destroy somebody in
Speaker 1: the other partiment, if we demonize each other, if if
Speaker 1: we block Supreme Court appointments, not because that's how it's
Speaker 1: supposed to work, but just because we didn't win it. No,
Speaker 1: he's describing his own party smear, slander, urged character. The
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is the party of character assassination. This whole
Speaker 1: issue of of Merrick Garland. Don't forget. That's the Biden rule.
Speaker 1: The last year in a president's term, it becomes a
Speaker 1: referendum for the elector, for the election electorate to decide
Speaker 1: who should pick the next Supreme Court nominee. That's the
Speaker 1: Biden rule. That's the when George W. Bush was president.
Speaker 1: That's the rule that Chucky Schumer supported. And now they're
Speaker 1: complaining about it. Um, let me play Joe Biden saying
Speaker 1: it himself. Should a justice resign this summer and the
Speaker 1: President moved to name a successor, actions that will occur
Speaker 1: just days before the Democratic presidential convention and weeks before
Speaker 1: the Republican Convention and meets. A process that is already
Speaker 1: in doubt in the minds of many, will become distrusted
Speaker 1: by all. Senate consideration of a nominee under these circumstances
Speaker 1: is not fair to the President, to the nominee, or
Speaker 1: to the Senate itself. Mr President, where the nations should
Speaker 1: be treated to a consideration of constitutional philosophy. All it
Speaker 1: will get in such circumstances is a partisan bickering and
Speaker 1: political posturing from both parties and from both ends of
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Avenue. As a result, it is my view that
Speaker 1: if a Supreme Court justice resigns tomorrow or within the
Speaker 1: next several weeks, or resigns at the end of the summer,
Speaker 1: President Bush should consider following the practice of a majority
Speaker 1: of his predecessors and not and not name a nominee
Speaker 1: until after the November election is completed. All those things
Speaker 1: come back to bite your uncle, crazy uncle Joe. The
Speaker 1: thing I liked the most about Trump's statement last night,
Speaker 1: he said that I made a promise to the American people,
Speaker 1: if I were elected president, I'd find the best judge
Speaker 1: in the country for the Supreme Court. I promised to
Speaker 1: select someone who respects our laws and is representative of
Speaker 1: our constitutional loves our constitution, who will interpret the Constitution
Speaker 1: has written. And then he went on to say, I
Speaker 1: publicly presented a list of brilliant, accomplished people to the
Speaker 1: American electorate and pledged to make my choice from among
Speaker 1: that list. Millions of voters said it was a single
Speaker 1: most important issue to them when they voted for me
Speaker 1: for president. I am a man of my word. I
Speaker 1: will do as I say, something that the American people
Speaker 1: have been asking for from Washington for a very, very
Speaker 1: long time. I am keeping another promise to the American
Speaker 1: people by nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch of the United States
Speaker 1: Supreme to the United States Supreme Court to be a
Speaker 1: United States Supreme Court Justice, keeping his promise. Now, the
Speaker 1: guy has an incredible background. I can go through his
Speaker 1: education and be a from Columbia Phi Beta Kappa j H.
Speaker 1: He got his Harvard law degree uh, and he graduated
Speaker 1: with honors and legal philosophy at Oxford and again he
Speaker 1: was a Marshall scholar. There's legal experiences second to none.
Speaker 1: He believes in in coequal branches of government, checks and balances,
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, religious liberty. He was in the Hobby
Speaker 1: Lobby case, the Little Sisters of the Poor case and
Speaker 1: versus Sibilious and and the Obama administration believes in freedom
Speaker 1: of speech. Why would you be against them because Democrats
Speaker 1: lost the election, so now they will smear, slander, besmirch
Speaker 1: a good man and coulter j Seculo Uh. Danielle McLaughlin
Speaker 1: will all be commenting in the course of the program today,
Speaker 1: it's time to take back America. This is a sea show,
Speaker 1: so the media to meltdown. Where's Donald Trump and his
Speaker 1: daughter Ivanka going well. Chief Special Warfare Operator William Ryan Owens,
Speaker 1: thirty six years old, graduate of Illinois Valley Central High School,
Speaker 1: died Saturday in the Arabian Peninsula of Yemen of wounds
Speaker 1: sustained in a raid against al Qaeda. Owens, a member
Speaker 1: of the elite and highly classified Sealed Team six, one
Speaker 1: of the military's premier special operating units, died during the firefight.
Speaker 1: According to published reports, the Owen's family would like to
Speaker 1: send the gratitude to the community for their interest in
Speaker 1: their beloved Ryan. He was a devoted father, a true professional,
Speaker 1: a wonderful husband. They appreciate your interests. They asked for privacy.
Speaker 1: Isn't it nice to see a president honoring the bray
Speaker 1: of men and women that fight for our liberty and
Speaker 1: freedom every day? How refreshing? Alright, So I have insomnia,
Speaker 1: but I've never slept better. And what's changed just a pillow.
Speaker 1: It's had such a positive impact on my life. And
Speaker 1: of course I'm talking about my pillow. I fall asleep faster,
Speaker 1: I stay asleep longer. And now you can to just
Speaker 1: go to my pillow dot Com or call eight zero

Speaker 1: and the President moved to name a successor, actions that
Speaker 1: will occur just days before the Democratic presidential Convention and
Speaker 1: weeks before the Republican Convention and meets, a process that
Speaker 1: is already in doubt in the minds of many, will
Speaker 1: become distrusted by all. Senate consideration of a nominee under
Speaker 1: these circumstances is not fair to the President, to the nominee,
Speaker 1: or to the Senate itself, just the president. Where the
Speaker 1: nations should be treated to a consideration of constitutional philosophy,
Speaker 1: all it will get in such circumstances is a partisan
Speaker 1: bickering and political posturing from both parties and from both
Speaker 1: ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. As a result, is my view
Speaker 1: that if a Supreme Court justice resigns tomorrow or within
Speaker 1: the next several weeks, or resigns at the end of
Speaker 1: the summer, President Bush should consider following the practice of
Speaker 1: a majority of his predecessors and not and not name
Speaker 1: a nominee until after the November election is completed. The
Speaker 1: Senate to mr President must consider how it would would
Speaker 1: respond to a Supreme Court vacancy that would occur in
Speaker 1: the full throws of an election year. It is my
Speaker 1: view that if the President goes the way of Presidents
Speaker 1: Fillmore and Johnson and presses an election year nomination. The
Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings
Speaker 1: on the nomination until ever until after the political campaign
Speaker 1: season is over. Robert Borks America is a land of
Speaker 1: which women would be forced into back alley abortions, Blacks
Speaker 1: would sit at segregated lunch countess rode police could break
Speaker 1: down citizens stores and midnight raids, and school children could
Speaker 1: not be taught about evolution right as an artist would
Speaker 1: be censured at the whim of government. This is a circus.
Speaker 1: It's a national disgrace. It is a high tech lynching
Speaker 1: for uppity blacks who in any way deigned to think
Speaker 1: for themselves. And it is a message that unless you
Speaker 1: cow tow to an old order, you will be lynched, destroyed,
Speaker 1: caricatured by a committee of the U. S. U. S. Senate,
Speaker 1: rather than hung from a treat all right. That first
Speaker 1: cut was of Joe Biden spelling out what the Biden
Speaker 1: rule is that in the last year of the term
Speaker 1: of any president that it should be a referendum in
Speaker 1: the upcoming election, which, by the way, Chucky Schumer supported
Speaker 1: as it relates to their argument about President Obama and
Speaker 1: this being a stolen nomination. The second of core Us
Speaker 1: was Robert Bourke, a man with keen intellect, integrity, character,
Speaker 1: smeared and slandered and abused just like Clarence Thomas years
Speaker 1: after him by the Party of Inclusion. The Democratic Party
Speaker 1: our to Sean Hannity show, right down our toll free
Speaker 1: telephone number. It's eight D nine for one, Seawn if
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. And
Speaker 1: Culter is with us and Trump, we trust e plura
Speaker 1: bum awesome and uh well, another promise made, another promise kept,
Speaker 1: and another example that the never Trump or crowd at
Speaker 1: the Weekly Standard, the Bill Crystals, some of the Mr.
Speaker 1: N r Oh guys and Brett Stephen guys at the
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal were dead wrong about Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: Culter and you and I were right. I'm getting exhausted
Speaker 1: from winning so much. I decided to take nasses. Getting
Speaker 1: so exhausting, Sean, and um, thank you for reminding me
Speaker 1: of the whole Merrit Garlands thing. Uh it was occurring
Speaker 1: to me last night watching um. Donald Trump announced that
Speaker 1: it was are such that if this were Jeb exclamation point,
Speaker 1: he would be renominating Merritt Guardlands. Well, I think thank God,
Speaker 1: these people. You know. I had a little Twitter exchange
Speaker 1: with Bill Crystal and he goes, yeah, I sense that.
Speaker 1: You know, even though at best this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a train wreck, at worst, it's gonna be a horrible
Speaker 1: train wreck. And all these people that was so wrong,
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, And it was the people
Speaker 1: of this country, the irredeemable, deplorable people like you, me
Speaker 1: and all the voters in Michigan and Ohio and Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, you know, bitter people clinging to their guns, God,
Speaker 1: Bible and religion. They made it happen, not our conservative
Speaker 1: brethren that think they are the great intellectuals. Yes, and
Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying it. In addition to the winning, winning, winning, Um,
Speaker 1: I think it is. It is just beginning to occur
Speaker 1: to liberals that Trump is going to be president for
Speaker 1: four years. He gets four years. They thought inauguration Day
Speaker 1: was going to be a bad day. No, it turns
Speaker 1: out this is gonna go on day after day, week
Speaker 1: after week. I will wake up with a smile on
Speaker 1: my face every single morning for well probably eight years,
Speaker 1: because it sure looks like he's doing what he said
Speaker 1: he was going to do. On point after point, including
Speaker 1: what is falsely being called the Muslim band. Yeah, since
Speaker 1: I'm writing about that, will be up well for it
Speaker 1: for um assiduous culture readers. It will be up at
Speaker 1: on culture dot com tonight, um, but most people will
Speaker 1: read it tomorrow. I'm writing about the alleged Muslim band,
Speaker 1: which doesn't mention Muslims, just refers to as I'm sure
Speaker 1: all your listeners know, unlike anyone on on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS,
Speaker 1: it just refers to these seven terrorists producing countries. But
Speaker 1: you know, the points I make in might calm okay,
Speaker 1: apart from apart from most of them won't be terrorists.
Speaker 1: You know. That's great. Congratulations to you, grad, glad to
Speaker 1: hear that. That's terrific news. Um. The point he is,
Speaker 1: we we can't afford this anymore. Even the really good
Speaker 1: ones that The New York Times writes about, and some
Speaker 1: of them are, um, they seem like fabulous Muslim immigrants
Speaker 1: doing cancer research and so on. They seem to have
Speaker 1: an awful lot of sickly and elderly relative and they're
Speaker 1: coming with them and signing up for Social Security and
Speaker 1: Medicare and Medicaid. We can't afford us anymore. I mean,
Speaker 1: if people, if Republicans like Paul Ryan and Democrats are
Speaker 1: going to keep demanding that we reform entitlements and cut
Speaker 1: back on Social Security, um, increase the retirement age for
Speaker 1: Social Security and medicare. Hey, how about you guys stop
Speaker 1: using the other hand to dump millions of poverty stricken,
Speaker 1: elderly and sickly immigrants on the country. It's not like
Speaker 1: they're fleeing the holocaust here. One of them, one of
Speaker 1: the New York Times is baby Seals. They had these
Speaker 1: eleven cases, um that are supposed to tear at our
Speaker 1: heartstrings of Muslims who are blocked this week and you
Speaker 1: know sometimes for a day. Oh horrors, um. Well, one
Speaker 1: was returning from his duties as a provincial council ruler
Speaker 1: in Kirku. That's not exactly fleeing the ravages of war.
Speaker 1: You're still living over there. You're coming over here for
Speaker 1: your healthcare as you watch the shock and awe and
Speaker 1: the I guess Snowflakes superstore meltdown. Every day, everybody in
Speaker 1: Hollywood from Madonna and Ashton Kutchner and uh Ashley Judd
Speaker 1: and Meryl Streep and and then all the lunatic screaming
Speaker 1: and protesting day in and day out, and it's like
Speaker 1: they can't even keep up with the speed of light
Speaker 1: and the shock and awe that Donald Trump is is
Speaker 1: literally unveiling on a daily basis. I see four years
Speaker 1: of this, whatever is economic when he implements his economic plan,
Speaker 1: when he implements more extreme vetting, when he eliminates Obamacare,
Speaker 1: when we move towards energy independence, and he gets rid
Speaker 1: of sevent regulations, when the wall it begins to get built,
Speaker 1: and the v A begins to get fixed. Don't you
Speaker 1: see in every one of those instances the same melt down.
Speaker 1: Isn't this going to be a four year pattern? Yes?
Speaker 1: And I must say it is not helping them. No
Speaker 1: one wants to see Chuck Schumer on TV at any time, um,
Speaker 1: but particularly weeping and um surrounded by these ninjas and
Speaker 1: the he jobs. No, this is not a good visual
Speaker 1: for them, not for normal people, even normal people who
Speaker 1: didn't vote for Trump. Again, We're not just worried about
Speaker 1: the San Bernardinos and the Orlandos. Why do we need this?
Speaker 1: These these cases go in the not our problem file.
Speaker 1: We have enough problems. We have to take care of
Speaker 1: our own Americans, our own elderly, our own veterans, our
Speaker 1: own poor people. Um, but Americans are getting wives to
Speaker 1: the fact. I mean, the saturation point of these this
Speaker 1: mass of Third World immigrants has gotten so great that
Speaker 1: people are finally figuring out, despite the media covering it up, um,
Speaker 1: despite the government covering it up, that we're bringing in
Speaker 1: every other country's problems in the world. I mean, it's curious.
Speaker 1: Another point that I'm making my column, um tonight, is
Speaker 1: is that the New York Times, you know, why are
Speaker 1: they stressing these Muslim immigrants, Not the ones block themselves,
Speaker 1: but the ones visiting their kids, Um, who might who
Speaker 1: seem to have an awful lot of one way tickets
Speaker 1: and a lot of health problems. Um, but the kids, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they brag about you know, this cancer researcher memorial.
Speaker 1: Sound sloan cantering, sounds like a great guy, brilliant cancer researcher.
Speaker 1: But if the New York Times thinks that that being
Speaker 1: brilliant is a desirable attribute in an immigrant, why don't
Speaker 1: we demand all our immigrants be brilliant. But no, in fact,
Speaker 1: our policy exact is exactly the reverse. We're more likely
Speaker 1: to turn away brilliant scientists, so we can bring in
Speaker 1: a goat hurt or from Pakistan. Let me ask where Look,
Speaker 1: I'm my take is this and a lot of people think,
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think it means? When we
Speaker 1: see the left in in all the glory? Isn't this really?
Speaker 1: And then Obama praising the protesters? Isn't this really what
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party has become a coalition of kind of
Speaker 1: like misfitness, of misfit toys and and radicalized groups. Isn't
Speaker 1: this everything that Obama appealed to? And that the country
Speaker 1: that all that red doesn't want? Um? Yes, though I
Speaker 1: wish you wouldn't tell them because I think if they realized,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you could put it directly to them. Um. Okay,
Speaker 1: Hollywood liberals. On one hand, we have the state of
Speaker 1: the of the Supreme Court, um for the next thirty years?
Speaker 1: What kind of country this will be? Or you can
Speaker 1: have Ashley Judd on stage? Which do you want? Did
Speaker 1: you hear Ashley Judd? I've got my favorite comment of
Speaker 1: Ashley Judd. Let me play it for you. Karen Madonna,
Speaker 1: of course, because she was dreaming of blowing up the
Speaker 1: White House. Imagine Eve and culture had said that or
Speaker 1: any of these things. Play. And to our detractors that
Speaker 1: insist that this march will never add up to anything,
Speaker 1: thank you you. But this is the hallmark of revolution.
Speaker 1: Yes I'm angry, Yes I am outraged. Yes I have
Speaker 1: thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
Speaker 1: I am a nastasty woman. I'm not as nasty as
Speaker 1: Confederate flags being tattooed across my city. Maybe the South
Speaker 1: actually is gonna rise again. Maybe for some it never
Speaker 1: really fell. I'm nasty, like my bloodstains on my bed sheets.
Speaker 1: We don't actually choose if and when to have our periods.
Speaker 1: Believe me, if we could, some of us would. We
Speaker 1: don't like throwing away our favorite pairs of underpants. Tell me,
Speaker 1: why are tampons and pad still taxed when viagra and
Speaker 1: Roe Gain are not. Is your direction really more than
Speaker 1: protecting the sacred, messy part of my woman hunt? All right,
Speaker 1: we'll come back, and when we do in culture will
Speaker 1: react to that, and also what she thinks of the
Speaker 1: Republican Congress. Will they come along? Fighting them? Liberal media?
Speaker 1: One day at a time is the Sean show? Alright?
Speaker 1: So as we continue with and culter author of the
Speaker 1: New York Times bestseller in Trump, We Trust Eat Plurabus. Awesome.
Speaker 1: So I just played Madonna Ashley joke. What's first your
Speaker 1: reaction to that? I love that liberals would prefer that
Speaker 1: to winning. It's exactly what I'm saying. This is a
Speaker 1: choice you give them, and that's what they choose. Um. Though,
Speaker 1: I did think she had a very original point, um
Speaker 1: comparing Trump to Hitler. I haven't heard that before. Good point.
Speaker 1: All right, So now let's go to the Trump agenda
Speaker 1: and where it might conflict with Congress, and that means
Speaker 1: on the Wall. That means on DACA. In the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives, that means Mitch McConnell, will he use the
Speaker 1: nuclear option? That means do you think they have the
Speaker 1: backbone to support what I think is a very aggressive,
Speaker 1: bold agenda to get the economy going and protect the
Speaker 1: home land. Um, Well, it really comes down to what
Speaker 1: Trump said in his inauguration speech, that beautiful inauguration speech.
Speaker 1: He cares about the American people, the people who live here,
Speaker 1: and by and large, Um, I won't say all of them,
Speaker 1: but pretty much all of them in Congress care about
Speaker 1: protecting their perks and privileges. And um, you know, impressing
Speaker 1: the New York Times editorial page, being able to write
Speaker 1: um be featured in the style section of the Washington Post.
Speaker 1: Which is why you do have all these Republicans obsessed
Speaker 1: with with cutting benefit from Americans while while acting like
Speaker 1: they're the big humanitarian in is bringing in the poor
Speaker 1: and sickly whom we have to support for the rest
Speaker 1: of their lives. Americans are onto this um. They are
Speaker 1: with Trump, and Trump just keeps coming out on the
Speaker 1: side of Americans time and time again, including with the
Speaker 1: non Muslim Muslim ban. I just a lot of the
Speaker 1: things that that um Trump shouldn't have to worry about
Speaker 1: repealing and replacing Obamacare. These Republicans have had eight year
Speaker 1: to put that together. They've had eight years. What have
Speaker 1: they been doing, Sean. I would like to be able
Speaker 1: to purchase healthcare, and I can't because, like your friend
Speaker 1: Matt Drudge, we're in the the individual market, like so
Speaker 1: many of my friends who are self employed, we can't,
Speaker 1: but we are trying to buy. We have ready money,
Speaker 1: as the legal expression is. But it's it's illegal to
Speaker 1: buy health insurance because the health insurance has been turned
Speaker 1: into a way to pay for other people's healthcare. It's
Speaker 1: a welfare program that, instead of being paid for by
Speaker 1: an income tax, is paid for through your insurance premium.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have seven hundred dollar a month insurance premiums,
Speaker 1: but that won't buy me treatment and any good hospitals.
Speaker 1: A lot of doctors don't take it. I just want
Speaker 1: to be able to buy health insurance. And these Republicans,
Speaker 1: I mean, I keep you see, there's no excuse for it.
Speaker 1: There is their replacement plan. It ought to be ready
Speaker 1: to go right now. It is pathetic. They've had eight years,
Speaker 1: there's no consensus. Well, we've got nine plans and they're
Speaker 1: very similar. How about we get a consensus plan. Healthcare, savings, accounts, portability,
Speaker 1: job to job, make it legal again to buy catastrophic insurance,
Speaker 1: competition across state lines and you build up in your
Speaker 1: own account, etcetera, etcetera. You know, I sort of. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you're probably right, but I hate these Washington buzz words
Speaker 1: that come out of the thing tanks. What we want
Speaker 1: to do is to be able to buy health insurance
Speaker 1: the same way we buy everything else, the way we
Speaker 1: buy car insurance, homeowners and renders insurance. I want to
Speaker 1: buy it on the free market and for people who
Speaker 1: either who can't do that either, because the smallest category
Speaker 1: are the ones who just won a bad hand in
Speaker 1: life and and ended up with some very expensive medical problem. Look,
Speaker 1: no one begrudges them. Of course, will pay for people
Speaker 1: like that, but that's a very small category. And as
Speaker 1: usual the left and Republicans are falling for it. Uses
Speaker 1: a freakish case in order to destroy the free market
Speaker 1: for everyone else. And as we're the ones who who
Speaker 1: can't it's not an expensive medical program. But either as
Speaker 1: Trump said something like you know they're just unable to
Speaker 1: will say you're responsible whatever. Um, you can have a
Speaker 1: separate plan for them, but that's that's you can't wreck
Speaker 1: the entire market. I can buy everything else on the
Speaker 1: free market, and products get better and cheaper every year.
Speaker 1: Just apply a little free market magic to health insurance.
Speaker 1: And Cultur author of and Trump We Trust e Pluribus awesome,
Speaker 1: looks like and Culter was way ahead of the curve.
Speaker 1: Bill Maher has he apologized yet, Um no, I I
Speaker 1: ought to demand that I go. Actually he was nicer
Speaker 1: than the rest of them. You will recall if you
Speaker 1: see his face, he knows by now not to laugh
Speaker 1: at an culture. All right, and Culter, thank you when
Speaker 1: we come back. Wide open telephone eight hundred one sewn
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number. You want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program, and we will continue. Let's get to
Speaker 1: some of our phone calls here. So much going on,
Speaker 1: and I know a lot on your mind, Pete and St. Louis,
Speaker 1: Pete High, how are you glad you called? Hi? Sean,
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. So I think I've got
Speaker 1: an idea about how to hold the media accountable for
Speaker 1: truthful reporting. So I think our country is truly experiencing
Speaker 1: a truth in reporting crisis in the journalism profession. And
Speaker 1: as you know, a lot of professions. I'm an accountant,
Speaker 1: so accountants, attorney's doctors, we've all got professional standards to
Speaker 1: conduct that we're supposed to follow. The journalists already and
Speaker 1: you probably know this because Jarwin already have published code
Speaker 1: of ethics. Excuse me, I've never claimed to be a journalist.
Speaker 1: I am a talk show host with an opinion, all right.
Speaker 1: So if you think back back when World Commenter on
Speaker 1: and those guys had their major prouse in response to
Speaker 1: that truth in financial reporting Congress stepped in and pass
Speaker 1: us Our Bans Oxley Act to UH ensure Oversight of
Speaker 1: Accountants and so forth, they established the PCO. I think
Speaker 1: the administration should do something similar and use the professions
Speaker 1: already existing standards to hold the media accountable. So they
Speaker 1: could take like the SEC or some other agency to
Speaker 1: oversee credentially reporting and most importantly enforcement with its own
Speaker 1: you know, standards, and so the enforcement arm of the
Speaker 1: agency could impose steep fines for violation, you know, which
Speaker 1: would drive compliants. Now, keep in mind that people are
Speaker 1: going to go, oh, that violates the First Amendment. But
Speaker 1: they are free to say whatever they want. We're not
Speaker 1: taking that away. But if you're outspreading lies and you're
Speaker 1: not in compliance with your own published standards, there's going
Speaker 1: to be a fine. Well look, I I don't want
Speaker 1: to go there because probably the people that will be
Speaker 1: attack the most are going to be conservatives like me.
Speaker 1: I mean, even when I'm right, you get these people
Speaker 1: call me he's a liar. Meanwhile, they lie all the time.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll give you the most recent example Chuck
Speaker 1: Todd calling this a Muslim band c and then calling
Speaker 1: this a Muslim band. You know when there's scent of
Speaker 1: the world's Muslims are not impacted, and countries like Indonesia,
Speaker 1: with the world's largest majority Muslim population by far, not impacted,
Speaker 1: and Turkey has not impacted. In Saudi Arabia is not
Speaker 1: impact although I think they should be, or Egypt has
Speaker 1: not impacted, and I can go on from there. So
Speaker 1: it's you know, is it a lie when they say
Speaker 1: a Muslim ban, Yeah, it's a lie. But they've been
Speaker 1: lying about Donald Trump from the beginning. Now. What's what's
Speaker 1: kind of interesting though, is the White House has refused
Speaker 1: to send its spokespeople or surrogates onto CNN shows and
Speaker 1: pretty much just saying, okay, you're biased, abusively biased, fake
Speaker 1: news network. And here's what Donald Trump said about it today,
Speaker 1: Darryl I meant Darryl when he was defending me on
Speaker 1: television and the people that were on the other side
Speaker 1: of the argument didn't have a chance, right. And Paris
Speaker 1: has done an amazing jeving a very hostile see ann
Speaker 1: community by himself seven people in Paris, and I'll take
Speaker 1: powers of it. But I don't want CNN son get
Speaker 1: to see you as much as I don't like watching
Speaker 1: fake news but Fox has treated me very nice wherever foxes,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, And it is I mean, a
Speaker 1: lot of the media is actually the opposition party. They're
Speaker 1: so biased and really it's a disgrace. Some of the
Speaker 1: media is fantastic and fair, but so much of the
Speaker 1: media is opposition party knowingly saying incorrect things. So it's
Speaker 1: a very sad situation. But we seem to be doing well.
Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like in the meantime, we won.
Speaker 1: So maybe they don't have the influence they think, but
Speaker 1: they really are. They really have to straighten out their raft.
Speaker 1: They're very dishonest people. And it even went further, as
Speaker 1: we know through wiki leagues that networks like CNN actually
Speaker 1: colluded with Hillary Clinton's campaign. Now Political has a story
Speaker 1: out today. We're sending surrogates to places where we think
Speaker 1: it makes sense to promoter enda. Well, why would they
Speaker 1: go on Chuck cho Todd show. I watched them this
Speaker 1: weekend with Ryan's previous then Ryan's did a great job,
Speaker 1: and you know, when they were remembering the Holocaust, they
Speaker 1: didn't specifically talk about you know, six million Jews that
Speaker 1: were slaughtered. Everybody knows what happened in the Holocaust. They
Speaker 1: were remembering everybody, but it was six million plus Jewish
Speaker 1: people are fellow human being slaughtered by evil Nazi brutal murderers.
Speaker 1: And somehow it was taken by seeing as as a slight,
Speaker 1: by Chuck Todd as a slight and they spent five
Speaker 1: minutes on this just to play gotcha. Or when they
Speaker 1: say that this is a Muslim band, it's a lie.
Speaker 1: When they say that they're lying to people. Now, if
Speaker 1: I was working in the Trump communications department, I would
Speaker 1: never go on CNN. CNN is now the opposition party.
Speaker 1: It's the only way to describe them MSNBC is they're
Speaker 1: just more blatant about it. And so why would you
Speaker 1: go in an atmosphere that is continually hostile and unfair
Speaker 1: and you you do not advance any intelligent conversation. You know.
Speaker 1: At the beginning of my television career, I did a
Speaker 1: debate show with my good friend Alan Colins and he
Speaker 1: and I mean it. He's a good friend. I love Alan,
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. At this point in my career,
Speaker 1: I don't have any desired debating idiots. I just think
Speaker 1: it's a waste of air time. It was fun in
Speaker 1: the beginning fun. When I started, it was a new
Speaker 1: experience for me. The show always did well. I was
Speaker 1: very happy about its success. I just don't really want
Speaker 1: to hear them anymore. I just don't. I don't have
Speaker 1: the patience for their lying. You never have enough time
Speaker 1: to correct them. It was he just it takes. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna spend the whole hour set pointing out facts that
Speaker 1: they never want to hear anyway. Donald Trump is keeping
Speaker 1: his promises. Donald Trump kept a huge one yesterday, the
Speaker 1: refugee issue. He used Barack Obama's own list of countries
Speaker 1: that have terrorist ties. I think you should expand it myself.
Speaker 1: And on every issue, from building the wall to putting
Speaker 1: his plan in place. I talked to a very powerful
Speaker 1: congressman that's working on the economic plan, and I was very,
Speaker 1: very encouraged yesterday, very encouraged. He's getting rid of regulation.
Speaker 1: He is going to make the country energy independent, he
Speaker 1: told me in the last interview. I believe him healthcare
Speaker 1: savings accounts or some form of repeal replace will take place.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what else do we want. He's committed to
Speaker 1: fixing the v A. The last thing that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: said to me off the air when I was with
Speaker 1: him a last week was Look, I'm only focused. I
Speaker 1: want to do a good job for the American people
Speaker 1: and keep my word. That's what he said and that's
Speaker 1: what he's doing. So I passed that on to you.
Speaker 1: I usually don't pass on private conversations with people. He
Speaker 1: didn't say. It was off the record, so I think
Speaker 1: I can tell you that there's nothing bad about it.
Speaker 1: He wants to he wants to do the job for
Speaker 1: the American people, and he's getting up every day and
Speaker 1: doing it. Anyway, Pete, I appreciate it. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Pam Is in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Pam, how are you?
Speaker 1: And We're glad you called. Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make a quick comment and get
Speaker 1: your to take. Mr Gorse seems to be such an
Speaker 1: outstanding pick for Supreme Court and qualifications out the wazoo.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is well read, he's well rounded, well versed,
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering what the Democrats are going to come
Speaker 1: at him with. I mean, there's nothing to stand on
Speaker 1: in his background. He has just been outstanding. It looks
Speaker 1: like from the day his feet hit the ground. Do
Speaker 1: you do you think that's going to stop them? Did
Speaker 1: it stop them? With Robert Borco had a very one
Speaker 1: of the most brilliant minds that you'll ever hear. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know, I know. And the things they come up
Speaker 1: with are so off the wall and insane, and I
Speaker 1: am I'm furious at fakens. I'm curious at these people
Speaker 1: to keep it. But you know what you don't You
Speaker 1: don't have to watch him anymore? Well, that's true, you know,
Speaker 1: I quickly. I actually don't have TV. If you want
Speaker 1: to know the truth I listened to you, thank you
Speaker 1: radio and ignoring it. Well, I hope you got a
Speaker 1: TV because you can watch my TV show and have
Speaker 1: to start watching. You know what I asked people to do.
Speaker 1: If you really want to get the news of the
Speaker 1: day and get more truth than you'll get from any
Speaker 1: other newscast, tune into this radio show and TV at night,
Speaker 1: and you'll get the truth I get. That is exactly.
Speaker 1: I listened to you every single day, and I think
Speaker 1: you've always been spot on one. And I have followed
Speaker 1: Donald Trump from the eight and I have seen him
Speaker 1: grow and bloom and be an honorable person. I have
Speaker 1: never seen him be anything less than honorable to two
Speaker 1: different races, to different cultures, to females, and he worships
Speaker 1: women and has promoted them from what's in and how
Speaker 1: women can get up and maybe horrible things that just baffle.
Speaker 1: So listen, this is going to be the entire Trump presidency,
Speaker 1: every single thing he does. You can sit back, we'll
Speaker 1: cover it, we'll laugh about it a little bit. But
Speaker 1: the good news for Donald Trump is those people will
Speaker 1: never vote for him anyway. He just he needs to
Speaker 1: fulfill his promises about the economy and all the things
Speaker 1: we talk about, and he will be reelected with forty
Speaker 1: plus states. This absolute no doubt in my mind, and
Speaker 1: all of this noise and rhetoric and extremism is only
Speaker 1: going to convince the American people. Uh and the bad
Speaker 1: results of Obama, how how out of touch. They are.
Speaker 1: By the way, stay on the line, Pam, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: send you a Donald Trump pen. Oh wow, thank you.
Speaker 1: And you know I'm looking for eight years of Trump
Speaker 1: and eight years of Pamps, the greatest president that God
Speaker 1: ever created. Look, I'm really rich. Wait. I will build
Speaker 1: a great, great wall on our southern border, and I
Speaker 1: will have Mexico pay for that. I don't wear it
Speaker 1: to pay. I love China. I just sold an apartment
Speaker 1: for fifteen million dollars to somebody from China. Our leaders
Speaker 1: of stupid, our politicians are stupid. We will have so
Speaker 1: much winning if I get elected that you may get
Speaker 1: bored with winning. I think I am a nice person.
Speaker 1: People that know me like me. I will be all right.
Speaker 1: There you go. That's the Trump pet right. I'm looking
Speaker 1: for eight years of Trump and eight years of pimps.
Speaker 1: I'd be a pretty good uh that that had set
Speaker 1: the country on the right track. Anyway, Pam, stay on
Speaker 1: the line. We'll take care of you. Scott is in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Hey Scott, how are you? And we're glad you called?
Speaker 1: How are you to date? I'm good, sir. What's going on? Good?
Speaker 1: I was listening yesterday and they were talking about Kaepernick
Speaker 1: and Brady and how you know they can't support Trump
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff. But you know, I've I've
Speaker 1: been a Forte and andrewstand since I was in high school,
Speaker 1: back when Ronnie Lott and Jerry Rice and Joe Montan
Speaker 1: and Steve Young all played. And I won't watch the
Speaker 1: game as long as he's on the team, as long
Speaker 1: as Kaepernick on the team. Yeah, well, I can't stand Kaepernick.
Speaker 1: He's become a horrible quarterback. He seemed to show promise
Speaker 1: early in his career. This has hurt the NFL. I
Speaker 1: love people like the Patriots owner. I talked to him
Speaker 1: the Patriots on Robert Kraft, and he walked into his
Speaker 1: locker room and talked to his players, and I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you it was pretty amazing when he said, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: uh there are people that fought, bled and died fighting
Speaker 1: for your freedom to play football in this field. And
Speaker 1: we are not going to dishonor them. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what I will do. If there's anything that we
Speaker 1: can do to help any cause you're interested in, I
Speaker 1: will match dollar for dollar everything you're willing to donate.
Speaker 1: And he said this especially to the black players on
Speaker 1: the team, and the players love him. They love playing
Speaker 1: for Belichick, they love playing with Brady, they love playing
Speaker 1: for UH an owner like Robert Kraft that has just
Speaker 1: focused like a laser beam on winning. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: fun to win, There's no doubt about it. I'm enjoying
Speaker 1: kicking CNN and MSNBC's ass with your help every day
Speaker 1: all these all these you know, n R O, Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal, Brett Stevens, Buill, Crystal Weekly Standard people. You know,
Speaker 1: they've they've never liked what we do, but they certainly
Speaker 1: want to come here and sell their books. Thank God
Speaker 1: now I don't have to put them on. Most of
Speaker 1: their books are boring anyway, I just are. It's amazing
Speaker 1: how awful they are. They think they're geniuses, and they
Speaker 1: us that entire They missed everything in Obama. They never
Speaker 1: told you the truth about Obama like I did, and
Speaker 1: they missed the whole Trump phenomenon. They couldn't be more wrong,
Speaker 1: and they're still wrong. The final hour round up is next.
Speaker 1: You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned
Speaker 1: for the final hour Free for All on the Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity Show. All right, let's go back to our busy telephones.
Speaker 1: Then our news round up, information overload hours coming up,
Speaker 1: and at the top of the next hour, we'll be
Speaker 1: debating the pick of Neil Gorsuch to be on the U. S.
Speaker 1: Supreme Court with Jay Sekulo and Daniel McLaughlin. That's all
Speaker 1: coming up. You don't want to miss that debate. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, we go back to our busy phones. Let's
Speaker 1: say hi to Chat in Texas. Chat. Hi, How are
Speaker 1: you welcome to the program. I'm doing good, Sean. It's
Speaker 1: a grant to talk to you. Thank you for taking
Speaker 1: my call. Hey, thank you for this is to have
Speaker 1: a little fun because all of the mess has been
Speaker 1: going on the past couple of days, not Trump's mess,
Speaker 1: because he is doing a phenomenal job. The left and
Speaker 1: the left and the card that they play. Because Obama
Speaker 1: blamed so much on President Bush and the Bush administration,
Speaker 1: will Donald Trump and start to blame get get to
Speaker 1: start to blame everything on Obama. Well, we could listen.
Speaker 1: The only thing I've heard Donald Trump say about Obama,
Speaker 1: he didn't mention in my name. He said, We've got
Speaker 1: a hell of a mess. We're trying to clean up here.
Speaker 1: We've got a mess here. And but you know, if
Speaker 1: you listen to Obama, he spent eight years blaming Bush.
Speaker 1: The way Bush has done it over the last eight
Speaker 1: years is to take out a credit card from the
Speaker 1: Bank of China in the name of our children, driving
Speaker 1: up our national debt so that we now have over
Speaker 1: nine trillion dollars of debt that we are going to
Speaker 1: have to pay back. That's irresponsible, it's unpaidtriotic. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: that went on for eight years, and then he doubled
Speaker 1: the debt. He accumulated more than nine trillion dollars in
Speaker 1: additional debt. You know, look, at some point you gotta
Speaker 1: if you're a responsible person. I take responsible ability for
Speaker 1: my success and failure. One of the things that I've
Speaker 1: always tried to do in my radio and TV years
Speaker 1: is pay attention to what my customers, what my listeners,
Speaker 1: what my viewers are telling me. You know over the
Speaker 1: years that I've got complains. You cut people off too fast. Uh. Oh,
Speaker 1: you don't pay attention enough. Oh uh. You promote TV
Speaker 1: to whatever it is. And I pay attention because I
Speaker 1: want to serve my customers. Now, I can't change who
Speaker 1: I am. I can't change my opinions. I can't be
Speaker 1: a liberal. If it said be a liberal, then you'd
Speaker 1: have to get somebody else to do this show, because
Speaker 1: it's not in my heart. It's not who I am.
Speaker 1: And I think the audience, especially on radio and TV,
Speaker 1: you get to hear and see me four hours a day.
Speaker 1: I think most of you know whether or not I'm sincere,
Speaker 1: or whether or not I'm a fake what I say.
Speaker 1: I believe the amount of work that we put into
Speaker 1: vetting Obama was more than anybody else in the media.
Speaker 1: The amount of time we spent on the road in
Speaker 1: and sixteen bringing you a says to the candidates was
Speaker 1: more than anybody else on radio and TV, the opinions
Speaker 1: and being right on the camp We were right about Obama,
Speaker 1: we were right about Donald Trump. And you know what,
Speaker 1: That's what my job is. So I just think, you
Speaker 1: know what, Am I gonna blame Bob Grant or Barry
Speaker 1: Farber or other talk show hosts if I don't do well? No,
Speaker 1: that's my responsibility. We'll continue. When you don't vote, you
Speaker 1: let another church explode. When you don't vote, you allow
Speaker 1: another cross to burn. When you don't vote, you let
Speaker 1: another assault wound a brother or sister. When you don't vote,
Speaker 1: you let the Republicans continue to cut school lunches and
Speaker 1: hit start. I mean, you've got the first sort of
Speaker 1: many stream frical American who is articulate and right and clean.
Speaker 1: I don't feel no way he's tired. I come too
Speaker 1: far from where I started from. Nobody told me that
Speaker 1: the road would be easy. You cannot go to a
Speaker 1: seven eleven here or Duncan Donuts unless you have a
Speaker 1: slight Indian accent. I'm not. I'm actually old not to
Speaker 1: remember the good old days, and they weren't all that
Speaker 1: good in any way. That message where y'all give you
Speaker 1: America great again is if you're a white Southern you
Speaker 1: know exactly what it means, don't. He's speaking to a
Speaker 1: population of this segment of the population who does not
Speaker 1: like to see people other than a white man in
Speaker 1: a white house, in any other elected position. I don't
Speaker 1: know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, Okay,
Speaker 1: but I need to say more. Romney wants to let it.
Speaker 1: He said in the first hundred days he's gonna let
Speaker 1: the big banks once again write their own rules. Unchained wolf,
Speaker 1: You're gonna put y'all back in cheese. Don't tell me
Speaker 1: we live in a color bland society. The Republicans know
Speaker 1: that there is the wrong agenda for African Americans. That's
Speaker 1: why they don't even want to count you in the census.
Speaker 1: They're doing everything they can to stop black people, Latinos,
Speaker 1: poor people, young people, people with disabilities from voting. It's
Speaker 1: a blast from the Jim pro past. I thought we
Speaker 1: had won that battle back in the nineteen sixties. No,
Speaker 1: I think that they played the race card on me.
Speaker 1: And we now know from memos from the campaign and
Speaker 1: everything that they planned to do it all along Ju
Speaker 1: seventh in Texas, my father was que He was beaten,
Speaker 1: chained and enjoying green Mouth Tuesday, all because he was black.
Speaker 1: So when Governor George W. Bush refused to support hate
Speaker 1: crimes legislation, it was like my father was killed. Longer again,
Speaker 1: called George W. Bush and tell him to support eight
Speaker 1: crown letislation. We won't be dragged away from our future.
Speaker 1: Robert Barks America is a land in which women would
Speaker 1: be forced into back alley abortions, Blacks would sit at
Speaker 1: segregated lunch countess rogue police could break down citizens doors
Speaker 1: and midnight raids, and school children could not be taught
Speaker 1: about evolution. Writers an artist would be censured at the
Speaker 1: whim of government. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace.
Speaker 1: It is a high tech lynching for uppity blacks who
Speaker 1: in any way deign to think for themselves. And it
Speaker 1: is a message that unless you cow tow to an
Speaker 1: old order you will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a
Speaker 1: committee of the U S. U S. Senate rather than
Speaker 1: hung from a tree. All right, News Roundup and information overload,
Speaker 1: our on the Sean Hannity Show told free. Our telephone
Speaker 1: numbers eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, if you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the pro Graham. Our top
Speaker 1: story remains Neil Gorsuch, the nominee by President Donald Trump
Speaker 1: to fill the vacant seat of Antonin Scalia on the U. S.
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. And that was just a slight small history
Speaker 1: of a party that smears and slanders and abuses power
Speaker 1: and innocent, smart, intelligent, good people, uh like on the
Speaker 1: you know, road kill is nothing to them. Character assassination
Speaker 1: is nothing to them. And I'm sure by the time
Speaker 1: this process with Neil Gorsuch is over that that's probably
Speaker 1: where it's gonna end up. Daniel McLaughlin, attorney, says she's
Speaker 1: a constitutional expert who wrote The Federalist Society, How Conservatives
Speaker 1: took the law back from liberals. J Sekulo, he's the
Speaker 1: chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice.
Speaker 1: And it looks like j that you and I were
Speaker 1: right last night, Democrats are gonna move forward with a filibuster,
Speaker 1: and now Mitch McConnell is forced to uh decide whether
Speaker 1: or not he uses the nuclear option, which Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and I believe it comes down to what they need
Speaker 1: to do. I don't think there's any question if in
Speaker 1: fact you have a situation Sean where there is a
Speaker 1: Democratic filibuster, the president nominee Neil Gorsuch needs to be
Speaker 1: Justice Gorsus. There are fifty two votes, there's probably more
Speaker 1: than that. There's probably fift votes right now that would
Speaker 1: go forward for him if there was a vote. But
Speaker 1: if the Democrats determined, under Chuck Humors leadership, that they're
Speaker 1: gonna filibuster a well qualified nominee, by the way, a
Speaker 1: nominee that received unanimous approval when he was nominated to
Speaker 1: the Ten Circuit, A nominee that will receive a well
Speaker 1: qualified the highest ranking by the American Bar Association, A
Speaker 1: nominee that has a long and distinguished now decades long
Speaker 1: career at the U. S. Court of Appeals for the
Speaker 1: ten Circuit. And unlike a lot of people, I've actually
Speaker 1: had cases before Judge Gorser, so I know the kind
Speaker 1: of judge he is, he will make an excellent justice.
Speaker 1: But we don't have the luxury of taking anything for
Speaker 1: granted with those not just the Democrats themselves and those
Speaker 1: on the left, but their interest groups Alliance for Justice
Speaker 1: screaming justice course as a disastrous choice for the Supreme Courts.
Speaker 1: You've got the National Organization for Women and groups like
Speaker 1: the American Atheists. We deserve better than a judge that
Speaker 1: prior prioritizes religious beliefs over a woman's right. Then you've got,
Speaker 1: of course, the a c l U. President Trump is
Speaker 1: nominating Neil Gorson's to the Supreme Court. Last night they
Speaker 1: said we'll give you our analysis tomorrow. They gave it today.
Speaker 1: It was a tepid opposition on his end. But then
Speaker 1: you've got Nan Aaron, who's probably the loudest voice of
Speaker 1: these groups, and they're saying, you know, you've got to
Speaker 1: block them. And of course the same plan parenthood, no row,
Speaker 1: no go. There was nobody that Donald Trump was going
Speaker 1: to appoint that they would have approved. Let me bring
Speaker 1: Danielle into this, President Trump said today. Danielle quote, democracy
Speaker 1: can't work when all you're about is trying to destroy
Speaker 1: somebody from the other party. If we demonize each other,
Speaker 1: if we block Supreme Court justices, not just because that's
Speaker 1: how it's supposed to work, but because we didn't win.
Speaker 1: I agree with President Trump, and I think Senate Republicans
Speaker 1: back in ten could have taken a note of that
Speaker 1: and not blocked Merrick Garland. But you know my my point, actually,
Speaker 1: I think that Democrats should be very careful about trying
Speaker 1: to block this and trying to vilify Judge Gorcitch. I
Speaker 1: think that actually his very extensive written paper trail on
Speaker 1: the extent in which the administrative state the agencies should
Speaker 1: perhaps have their powers pinned back on supression of powers,
Speaker 1: on the suppression of pass basis, would be helpful in
Speaker 1: constraining a president that Democrats are concerned about might be
Speaker 1: overreaching in terms of his own power. If their argument
Speaker 1: is he's out of the mainstream, how do they justify
Speaker 1: especially Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer,
Speaker 1: Pat Layhy, Diane Feinstein, Patty Murray, Ron widen Rich, Dick Durbin,
Speaker 1: Jack Reid, Bill Nelson, Tom Carper, Debbie Stabenow, Maria Cantwell Menendez.
Speaker 1: When they all voted unanimously to confirm him for the
Speaker 1: Circuit court that he's on. Now, you make a great point, Sean,
Speaker 1: and actually I'm not so convinced that he is out
Speaker 1: of the mainstream, certainly as it relates to assisted suicide.
Speaker 1: He's written extensively on his belief that that is not
Speaker 1: constitutional on many, many, many, many front I think the
Speaker 1: Democrats need to actually be careful about not going to
Speaker 1: vilify a candidate, a nominee. I should say who is thoughtful,
Speaker 1: who is restrained? And I'll be honest with you, who
Speaker 1: is in many ways similar to Merrick to Garland. And
Speaker 1: I have to say that I think Merrick Garland was
Speaker 1: an olive branch to Republicans. I'm interested in what Jay
Speaker 1: thinks about this, but you know, he was a man
Speaker 1: who was restrained. He wasn't Tagan, he wasn't this very
Speaker 1: very progressive justice. And I think we've got two things
Speaker 1: going on. There's the legal piece and whether this is
Speaker 1: a person who has qualified bus in a question that
Speaker 1: he is. But this political gamesmanship, which you're right, goes
Speaker 1: back to Robert Bork. But certainly something we saw in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen with Mitch McConnell and even people like Kid
Speaker 1: crew saying if Hillary Clinton was elected, they wouldn't consume
Speaker 1: anybody that she put to the court. This is a
Speaker 1: problem took for both parties. Frankly, here here's the here's yeah,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. First of all, it was Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: the Biden Rule, which said, in the last year of
Speaker 1: a presidency, you don't confirm a Supreme Court justice. He
Speaker 1: said that, Chuck Schumer agreed with it. They talked about
Speaker 1: that under a President Bush, if there was a vacancy
Speaker 1: in the last year of his pregnance of his presidency,
Speaker 1: they were not going to confirm a nominee. Look, when
Speaker 1: you you lose elections, elections have consequences. That's that's number one.
Speaker 1: Number two. I've also been in front of Merrick Gartland.
Speaker 1: I mean, our our lawyers have been in front of
Speaker 1: Merrick Gartland. And nothing disparaging to Judge Gartland, but they
Speaker 1: are not the same judicial philosophy. And let me also
Speaker 1: say this, Merrick Gartland, I will assure you was not
Speaker 1: the first choice of President Obama. It was his desperate
Speaker 1: move to see if maybe that would somehow because he's
Speaker 1: more of a centrist, maybe that would have moved the
Speaker 1: needle for the Republicans, which it did not. Here you've
Speaker 1: got the first nominee of the President the United States.
Speaker 1: Danielle acknowledges that everybody's having to acknowledge this. And if
Speaker 1: you listen to the senators saying, they know, they're in
Speaker 1: a very difficult spot because this is perhaps the most
Speaker 1: qualified individual that's been nominated to the Supreme Court of
Speaker 1: the United States in decades, the most qualified nominee in decades,
Speaker 1: Republican or Democrats. So you're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: beat him on intellect. They're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: do a gotcha question on Neil Gorst's. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So the question is will the groups on the left
Speaker 1: bring up enough anger and will the George sources of
Speaker 1: the world bring up enough money that they will try
Speaker 1: a smear campaign Judge Gorset's. And the thing that concerns
Speaker 1: me Sean is not as judicial philosophy, which is great,
Speaker 1: not his writings which are great, not his personal story
Speaker 1: which is great. Is they'll make stuff up. They did
Speaker 1: that to Clarence Thomas, are they gonna do it to
Speaker 1: Neil Gorst's. So that's why we don't have the you
Speaker 1: and I talked about this last night. We don't have
Speaker 1: the luxury of assuming he's just gonna sail through. I
Speaker 1: start with this proposition, and I do it what I
Speaker 1: do Supreme Court cases. I assume maybe I've got four
Speaker 1: of a but I gotta get five. So I start
Speaker 1: with the proposition that I have to get votes here,
Speaker 1: and I think we're smart on how this is moving forward.
Speaker 1: We do the same thing. I'm meeting with members of
Speaker 1: the United States Senate industry community members in the next
Speaker 1: couple of days in Washington, and I want to know
Speaker 1: from them, because Johan, you asked the real question here.
Speaker 1: If push comes to shove, if in fact we have
Speaker 1: a situation where there is a filibuster, will we do
Speaker 1: what is necessary to confirm? But there will nobody Judge
Speaker 1: Judge Corset. But but but there'll be nobody on Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: list that he gave out before the election. And you're right,
Speaker 1: this became a referendum and referendum for the election. And
Speaker 1: you're right the rule about not UH bringing up a
Speaker 1: nominee in the last year of a presidency, so it
Speaker 1: does become an election referendum. That's all true, and Schumer
Speaker 1: supported that. So they dug their own grave in that sense,
Speaker 1: Harry read changing the rules as well as it relates
Speaker 1: to cloture and and the nuclear option. And you know
Speaker 1: now ruck chumas trying to call the thermonuclear option, well,
Speaker 1: they're the ones that changed the rules. It wasn't the
Speaker 1: Republicans will come back on the other side. We'll let
Speaker 1: you guys finish this up, bringing jobs back to America
Speaker 1: and getting America back door Shan show. All right, as
Speaker 1: we continue with Jay Sekulo and Danielle McLaughlin, our top story,
Speaker 1: of course, the nomination of Neil Coursage to be the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court pick of Donald Trump, and of course the
Speaker 1: predictable meltdown by the Schumer cry baby left. Anyway, Jay,
Speaker 1: you wanted to ask Danielle a question, Go right ahead. So, Danielle,
Speaker 1: if you were a strategist for a president or for
Speaker 1: a political party, and there was a vacancy in the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court that came up suddenly the death of justice
Speaker 1: like Justice Scalia, and it was February, and there's an
Speaker 1: election eight months later, would you recommend to your party
Speaker 1: in power that you go ahead and let that nominee
Speaker 1: go forward, or would you do what a strategist would
Speaker 1: do and say, no, wait a minute, the position of
Speaker 1: the other party has been in the last year of
Speaker 1: a presidency. We don't allow a lifetime appointment that will
Speaker 1: impact the Supreme Court in the United States, especially in
Speaker 1: a particular seat, which could shift the balance, or in
Speaker 1: this particular case, is just maintaining the status quo. Would
Speaker 1: you really recommend to your client that you go ahead
Speaker 1: and just let the nomination go forward, or would you say,
Speaker 1: you know what, in eight months, there's got me a
Speaker 1: new president. Why don't we let the people of the
Speaker 1: United States vote. When they vote, then we'll decide we
Speaker 1: can move forward or not. Here's my response to that.
Speaker 1: The people of the United States did make a decision
Speaker 1: in two thousand and twelve, and they're reelected President Obama
Speaker 1: for a four year term, a four year term including
Speaker 1: the final year of his presidency. So if this argument
Speaker 1: that somehow the American people should make a decision about
Speaker 1: who should be on the Supreme Court makes no sense
Speaker 1: because they made it. It doesn't make sense. But you
Speaker 1: do admit this was the Biden rules supported by Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1: It is something that he said, he took it back,
Speaker 1: and we have we have took it back. You never
Speaker 1: took it back year right and come, but in fact
Speaker 1: you know the nonsense in the taking back. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: also take back the fact that that that Harry read
Speaker 1: decided to move to the nuclear option on Court of
Speaker 1: Appeals nominees, which his own allies, on his own caucus
Speaker 1: said we better be careful on this because there will
Speaker 1: be a day when the Democrats are not in powered
Speaker 1: the Senate, and that happened. Quicker, I agree with you,
Speaker 1: and I actually I'm an institutionalist, and I think it
Speaker 1: was the bad. It was the wrong decision to make.
Speaker 1: I think Harry has should not have done that, precisely
Speaker 1: for the reason that you put forth j which issus
Speaker 1: they better not filibuster Gorsers because there will be a
Speaker 1: nuclear option. So I like to jump here. I think
Speaker 1: that we have to if we're going to be fair
Speaker 1: about this. Is a couple of things. The reason that
Speaker 1: the nuclear option was chosen by Harry Reid was because
Speaker 1: Republicans held up a hundred of Obama's judicial appointments one
Speaker 1: hundred judges, okay, for no good reason. These people also
Speaker 1: eminently qualified. It was a purely political mover. And this
Speaker 1: is not Democrats are being obstructionists. I agree, but it
Speaker 1: happens on the other side of the aisle. And a
Speaker 1: great example of Tom Cotton, who have held up Obama's
Speaker 1: appointment to the US ambassadorship to the Bahamas, a woman
Speaker 1: who ended up dying of cancer because he wanted to
Speaker 1: cause President Obama political He want to call him, cause
Speaker 1: him personal pain. So if this is happening all over
Speaker 1: the place, you know, Jay, you say that Merrick Garland
Speaker 1: was a desperate move. I call it. I call it
Speaker 1: in all of brunch. He knew he was this interest.
Speaker 1: He hoped that he would get Republican volices. He hoped
Speaker 1: that people would put the political fray aside and look
Speaker 1: at a jurist and say, Okay, this person is actually qualified.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to leave it there. But
Speaker 1: thank you both for being with us. Really appreciated passionate
Speaker 1: debate eight D nine for one sean or to free
Speaker 1: telephone number. When we come back, we'll get right to
Speaker 1: the phones, and we want to get your take on
Speaker 1: all of this. One of the amazing things is it's
Speaker 1: another promise kept by Donald Trump, and how wrong all
Speaker 1: these never Trumpers were on every major issue or full
Speaker 1: coverage of this tonight with Leonard Leo. He advised President
Speaker 1: Trump on the list that he made back starting back
Speaker 1: in May. Ari Fleischer will join us, You Hewitt will
Speaker 1: join us. Jay Secular is going to be with us.
Speaker 1: Also two clerks, a clerk for Judge Corsets will have
Speaker 1: more of the media celebrity meltdown and will be Goldberg
Speaker 1: questions if the Trump administration is different than the Taliban
Speaker 1: really anyway? Dr Gorka, tonight ten Eastern Fox. We have
Speaker 1: a leader who is repeatedly demeaned women, wants to defund
Speaker 1: organizations that benefit women, calling on the media is shut
Speaker 1: up specifically, wants to give preferential treatment based on religion.
Speaker 1: Are these values really much different than the Taliban's? I mean, well,
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about Trump's values. Well, now the
Speaker 1: values that we are listening to. Because one of the
Speaker 1: things that you read yesterday was a piece of the
Speaker 1: of the language, the language in the band, which was
Speaker 1: about if you disrespect women, if you disrespect Yes, yes
Speaker 1: so I just yesterday I was thinking about it doing
Speaker 1: the same thing. But all of these things that I've
Speaker 1: been hearing, are we have our values changed that what's
Speaker 1: what's happened? He says. If he says I don't like
Speaker 1: what you're did, you're fired. Is that? I mean that's
Speaker 1: when you say people's head. Well it is. But I
Speaker 1: feel like, listen, if you're saying to the media, shut up,
Speaker 1: that's what they do. Um. Maybe they didn't start out
Speaker 1: chopping people's hands off. Maybe they started out differently. I'm
Speaker 1: asking this because it feels like it's a It's tricky
Speaker 1: because we're saying to people, here are our American values,
Speaker 1: and then we're saying at the same token stuff that
Speaker 1: sounds exactly like the stuff we're fighting. When you put
Speaker 1: some of these things side by side, how you what
Speaker 1: kind of religion you're supposed to have. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: have one religion. Okay, So people don't see it as
Speaker 1: that though they don't accept we American. This is when
Speaker 1: he says that there's a preferential treatment for Christians for
Speaker 1: getting all the other religions out there. This is what
Speaker 1: makes us different from everybody else. Our media. Nobody tells
Speaker 1: our media to shut up and just take that's not America.
Speaker 1: That is that's how we're man. You know what's amazing
Speaker 1: they're building walls around our region. Mine is electile dysfunction.
Speaker 1: This is now the view. Whoopee, what's happened to you? Whoopee?
Speaker 1: You're absolutely losing it? Um, I just look, it's very predictable.
Speaker 1: This is the left. You know that was on Stephen Colbert's.
Speaker 1: Didn't I predict at the time that Stephen Colbert would
Speaker 1: be the lowest rated show? Didn't somebody in that room
Speaker 1: disagree with me that he would do better in late
Speaker 1: night television? Who in that room disagreed with me? Somebody did?
Speaker 1: I don't remember who. Who was it chasing you? Remember?
Speaker 1: I thought it was Linda. Linda, No, it wasn't you.
Speaker 1: Who was it? I think perhaps it could have been me.
Speaker 1: It could have been me, It could have been you.
Speaker 1: So it was you? Okay, well I could listen. Thanks
Speaker 1: first manning up and telling us and it's not a
Speaker 1: big deal. But no, shut up, you you're you're enjoying this, Okay,
Speaker 1: wipe the grin off your face. Just come clean and say, Jay,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely wrong and I was right to say it.
Speaker 1: Just go out and say it. You were wrong and
Speaker 1: I was right. Doesn't that feel better? Not? Really? I
Speaker 1: enjoyed because you're usually right, especially on sports issues. You know,
Speaker 1: you're a tough guy to gamble against because you're you're
Speaker 1: so into it. But I'm still offering to take the
Speaker 1: Patriots over the over the Falcons. Is there a spread
Speaker 1: in that game yet? The Patriots I think are favored
Speaker 1: by two or three points. Okay, I'll give you two
Speaker 1: points and I'll take the Patriots. It's too early in
Speaker 1: the week. Do you want to take You don't want
Speaker 1: to take that bet, do you. I'm not saying no,
Speaker 1: I'm considering it. You're considering And how high will we
Speaker 1: go in this pet I'll take the bet. How what
Speaker 1: are we supposed to bet? Oh my gosh, I'll bet what.
Speaker 1: Where's a hundred dollars? I don't know, Okay, a hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: I got the Patriots and you got the Atlanta Falcons. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's unfair because Linda colors on the team's colors, that's right,
Speaker 1: that's right. Which one has a nicer color? We talked
Speaker 1: about it because she said she liked blue better than
Speaker 1: the red and black. I thought the Patriots were the
Speaker 1: red in the ball. You know what the problem with
Speaker 1: Ethan on our team is he is he kisses your
Speaker 1: your your feet so much it's like nauseating. Now we're
Speaker 1: just dear friends. I've known him since he was You
Speaker 1: got him bowing, and you turn that one into a
Speaker 1: mini you meaning warrant. It took me years. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. I mean whoever you hate, whoever you hate
Speaker 1: is on her hate list, should be Yeah, I hate only.
Speaker 1: I think the only person that you really have an
Speaker 1: impact that that much is Jason. Jason's oblivious. He's even
Speaker 1: walled himself off from treating everybody else. Yeah, he's he's
Speaker 1: not penetrating. When she starts smelling the beef jerky, then
Speaker 1: then all bets are off. That's true. Well, maybe you
Speaker 1: have the beef jerky smells. You're in a room with
Speaker 1: other people. You shouldn't be eating beef jerkey, just like
Speaker 1: you should be eating tuna fish in that room. It's okay,
Speaker 1: they eat it in my room. But so back to
Speaker 1: the bet. How does it work? Really? Okay, if the
Speaker 1: Patriots win, you owe me a hundred bucks. If the
Speaker 1: Falcons win, I owe you a hundred bucks. Okay, that's fine, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't want to start getting into points because then
Speaker 1: it'll take the next hour to explain it, um and
Speaker 1: I don't have the time. Joe and Vegas k Don Radio.
Speaker 1: What's up, Joe? How are you? How are you? I'm good, sir.
Speaker 1: I'd probably take I think i'd probably take New England
Speaker 1: and give up three three and a half. Possibly. I
Speaker 1: just think it's Look, I'm very impressed with Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Falcons. I'm very impressed with the
Speaker 1: Falcons just all the way around. But I just think
Speaker 1: that I don't know what it is. Belichick and Brady
Speaker 1: are just hard to bet against. I mean, the only
Speaker 1: people that beat him in the Super Bowl twice with
Speaker 1: the Giants and my Seahawks wants. Yeah, that's true. No,
Speaker 1: the Seahawks didn't No, no, no, no, they didn't win.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks lost. Never mind, I mean, never mind. That
Speaker 1: was alternate facts. Anyway, that's alternate facts. By the way,
Speaker 1: poor Kelly, and she's having that thrown in her face
Speaker 1: every day. What she's saying is we have a different view,
Speaker 1: and everyone's trying to slammer with it. It's the meat
Speaker 1: is so corrupt. When are they going to be held
Speaker 1: accountable for all the stupid crap they say? Like this
Speaker 1: is a Muslim band. Well, if you remember Joe ron Ziggler,
Speaker 1: there was inoperative statements. You figured that one out, and
Speaker 1: we can figure out alternate facts. Alternative facts are the
Speaker 1: facts that you want to basically present yourself. Listen, I
Speaker 1: heard you the other day, um, and you were you
Speaker 1: were almost foaming. That's the fact that you were saying
Speaker 1: something back that you were not going to allow Isis
Speaker 1: to attack us. I'm I'm trying to understand what you
Speaker 1: say that Again. I talked to you a few days ago,
Speaker 1: perhaps Monday, Tuesday whatever that you were, you know, you were,
Speaker 1: you were rebbed up, and you were saying that you
Speaker 1: will not allow ISIS to attack us. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're referring to. I don't know exactly the context
Speaker 1: of Well, the context was is that you were discussing
Speaker 1: the situation with the refuge. Well, I don't have the
Speaker 1: ability to stop ISIS from attacking us, and if I did,
Speaker 1: I surely would use everything at my disposal to make
Speaker 1: it happen, you know, short of a nuclear h bomb
Speaker 1: going off in some of these areas. But um, what
Speaker 1: I want is our on our country safe and secure.
Speaker 1: And I went through the list of all the different
Speaker 1: attacks by radical Islamis on our soil and around the world,
Speaker 1: just in the time that Obama has been president, just
Speaker 1: in the time since nine eleven. And for those people
Speaker 1: that cannot face a truth, a simple, basic, fundamental truth,
Speaker 1: that radical Islamis are at war with us, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to wake them up to reality.
Speaker 1: I wish it weren't true. I wish Nazism never happened,
Speaker 1: Fascism never happened, Communism never happened. You know how many
Speaker 1: people were killed under Stalin, how many people killed under
Speaker 1: Hitler and fascism and totalitarianism and tyranny and dictatorship. And
Speaker 1: you know, there's been a lot of evil in the
Speaker 1: world just in the last hundred years, and we have
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that evil exists. And you have to take
Speaker 1: their threats seriously because they are trying to advance a
Speaker 1: caliphate that that basically has simply put as convert or die.
Speaker 1: The world either converts to their way of thinking or
Speaker 1: they are to die. And they think they're doing God's
Speaker 1: will when they strap bombs on their own kids and
Speaker 1: have their kids scream allahaak bar and go kill and
Speaker 1: as men, women and children, that that is a real,
Speaker 1: lear present danger for the entire country in the world,
Speaker 1: and I just want to defeat it. So if I misspoke,
Speaker 1: I apologize. I don't remember saying it quite that way. Uh.
Speaker 1: Jennifer's in Oregon, Jennifer High. How are you? And We're
Speaker 1: glad you called hi? How are you? I'm good? What's
Speaker 1: going on? UM? I have a comment to go ahead
Speaker 1: and make about the immigration ban. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: understand whenever we go to any foreign countries, we abide
Speaker 1: by their rules, their laws, and yet why is it
Speaker 1: when we have immigrants coming to our country all of
Speaker 1: those rules and laws go out the windows. I mean,
Speaker 1: have we really become that lax that we do not
Speaker 1: implement them. I don't understand that. And it's no wonder
Speaker 1: we have so much violence and everybody's feel volatile and
Speaker 1: angry anymore. I think it's really a ridiculous argument. You know,
Speaker 1: I brought this up. I was in a bit of
Speaker 1: a Twitter might exchange. I'll call it with Mark Cuban,
Speaker 1: the owner of the Mavericks, the Dallas Mavericks, and by
Speaker 1: the way, I've met him, I know him. I don't
Speaker 1: like that so anti Trump, I think he's a little
Speaker 1: knee jerk on it all. I think he needs to
Speaker 1: kind of beef up on his political knowledge a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I like the fact that he's engaged and he's
Speaker 1: willing to engage, and you know, on a personal level,
Speaker 1: he seems like a pretty fun guy, and so it
Speaker 1: was a respectful exchange. But I'm like, hey, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: A hundred and nine people were convenience out of the
Speaker 1: three thousand in a day in question, But when it
Speaker 1: comes to Americans getting killed and gambling with their lives,
Speaker 1: it's not an option for me. This to me is
Speaker 1: a gamble, you know, taking people in and not vetting
Speaker 1: them as a gamble. I'm not willing to gamble. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I want to double down and
Speaker 1: make it even tougher. And that means any country that
Speaker 1: trains is Lamas, any country that has been involved in
Speaker 1: terrorist activity, anybody that aids a bets harbors these people,
Speaker 1: They're just as guilty as the people that do it.
Speaker 1: To me. And I'm sorry, you know, I get inconvenience
Speaker 1: when I travel all the time, and I'm not bringing
Speaker 1: bombs and guns and knives and box cutters on the airplane.
Speaker 1: And every time I go through an airport, I don't
Speaker 1: mind being questioned. I don't mind being wanted. I don't
Speaker 1: mind my bags being searched. I don't care that my
Speaker 1: underwears in there. I don't care that my socks are
Speaker 1: in there. I don't care. Do what you have to
Speaker 1: do so that everybody else on my plane can be
Speaker 1: assured that I'm not gonna be trouble for them on
Speaker 1: that flight. They deserve that assurance. And unfortunately, that's the
Speaker 1: world we live in. That's the evidence that evil in
Speaker 1: our time exists. We're all being inconvenience. So if you're
Speaker 1: coming from another country and we've got inconvenience you, well,
Speaker 1: if you don't like it, don't come here. Stay where
Speaker 1: you are. We're not begging you to come here. That's
Speaker 1: the way it is every country that I've been to.
Speaker 1: When I went to London, I gotta I got questioned
Speaker 1: by immigration officials there. Why are you here? How long
Speaker 1: are you gonna be here? Why you have a return
Speaker 1: flight that in six hours from now? Why are you
Speaker 1: only here for six hours? That was a big question
Speaker 1: for them. I said, I had an interview. I said,
Speaker 1: I want to get home and sleep in my own bed.
Speaker 1: It is that interview with who? And I told them, yeah,
Speaker 1: well I'm not I don't lie. What would I lie?
Speaker 1: But did they say when you told them they knew
Speaker 1: who it was? They knew, and they knew. They didn't
Speaker 1: say anything. They just wanted to know, you know, because look,
Speaker 1: I guess there's not many people that fly from Miami
Speaker 1: to London, stay on the ground six hours, and then
Speaker 1: go home to New York. So my travel itinerary seemed
Speaker 1: a little off to them. Yeah, and you probably didn't
Speaker 1: have luggage, right, I never have luggage. I have one bag. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they had every right to stop. One carry on bag.
Speaker 1: That's all I ever use. And so they questioned me
Speaker 1: when I went to Israel, Um, you were with us
Speaker 1: in Israel. Yeah, I was the one that didn't get
Speaker 1: through security. Yeah. Well, but remember we had like great
Speaker 1: treatment in Israel because we were interviewing the Prime Minister.
Speaker 1: They still questioned us, all, every one of us. But
Speaker 1: I was the one who did not get through security.
Speaker 1: Why not you guys are in the lounge because you
Speaker 1: look like a criminal. That's why don't you remember one
Speaker 1: of the other people traveling with us, he saw me
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, I saw you getting friends and my
Speaker 1: bags are open and they went through it. Said, I've
Speaker 1: never been on a on a plane with with sweet
Speaker 1: baby James and he doesn't get wanted. I have no
Speaker 1: idea why, because James, he's like off reading a book
Speaker 1: and that name is very aggressive James, sweet baby. Okay,
Speaker 1: but they don't know his nickname is sweet baby James.
Speaker 1: But but James, I think it's the way I honestly does,
Speaker 1: because you'll stay online and read a book while you're online,
Speaker 1: waiting to get wanted and checked and your bags checked.
Speaker 1: All right, back to our phones as we say hi
Speaker 1: to Connors in Orlando, Florida News Radio w d B
Speaker 1: O N five. What's going on? Hey, how's it going, Sean?
Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you? I'm doing all right? So, um,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm twenty three. I live in Orlando and I
Speaker 1: go to law school here, and uh, I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I have serious concerns about the future in America because
Speaker 1: of my classmates that are supposed to be future lawyers
Speaker 1: and politicians and you know, business owners. They are completely
Speaker 1: stunned by Trump being president. Uh, they're completely flabbergasted by
Speaker 1: the immigration um hole for the ninety days. And uh,
Speaker 1: they're pretty upset about the Supreme Court pick too, So, um,
Speaker 1: it doesn't look too good for America if these people
Speaker 1: are going to be leaving our country in thirty years. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not worried because I think, you know, go to
Speaker 1: the adage of Winston Churchill. If you're twenty and not
Speaker 1: a liberal, you don't have a heart. If you're forty
Speaker 1: and not a conservative, you don't have a brain. Right,
Speaker 1: So I'm cutting a little bit of slack for kids
Speaker 1: that are in school that have been indoctrinated by liberal
Speaker 1: leftist professors. And once they get into the real world,
Speaker 1: it's amazing when you get your first paycheck, how it
Speaker 1: changes your perspective on life. And then you see, well, hang, honestly,
Speaker 1: they took forty for federal taxes. Well they took another
Speaker 1: ten percent for state taxes, and then they're taking Social
Speaker 1: Security fight of money. Then they're taken you know, this money,
Speaker 1: and this money, I'm only getting half of what I paid,
Speaker 1: what I was allowed to get paid. Oh, that has
Speaker 1: an amazing impact on people, to raise their awareness, I
Speaker 1: would argue this Americans on April fifteen, Tax Day, every
Speaker 1: year had to write a check out of their bank
Speaker 1: account rather than withholding. I guarantee you we'd have a
Speaker 1: revolution in this country the next day. That's how fast
Speaker 1: that would be. Anyway, Thanks for a good call. All
Speaker 1: the best to you in school. By the way, did
Speaker 1: d to expose the government? Waste your money? And every day?
Speaker 1: This is the Shan Show. All right, that's gonna wrap
Speaker 1: things up for today. We got a busy Hannity tonight,
Speaker 1: a lot of fall out from Neil Gorst's the liberal
Speaker 1: meltdown and predictable reaction. We're gonna get into tonight and
Speaker 1: we've got a full slate of people, including Leonardo Leo,
Speaker 1: who helped put together the list that Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: choosing from. Hugh Hewitt. Ari Fleischer joined us tonight. Jay Sekulo,
Speaker 1: two people the clerk for Judge Neil Gorsuch, they'll join
Speaker 1: us tonight. We have the latest on John Stewart, it
Speaker 1: and Whoopi Goldberg comparing Trump's administration to the Taliban. Dr
Speaker 1: Gorka will join us, and also we'll check in with
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy, who is now the House Majority leader. Will
Speaker 1: the House support the Trump agenda? That and Dr corner
Speaker 1: West ten eastern Tonight, Hannity on Fox Seed tonight at ten,
Speaker 1: and back here tomorrow
