1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Our two Sean Hannity Show toll free. It's eight hundred 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: ninety four one Sean. If you want to be a 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: part of the program, joining us now, former Speaker of 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: the House, author of By the Way, the book a 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: bestseller defeating a big government socialism. Also a professor, but 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: more importantly, a historian, nuke Ingrich as well us. Mister speaker, 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: How are you. I'm doing well, how are You's been 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: an interesting time? Yeah, it was an amazing day yesterday. 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: Let's get the front. Let me ask you to put 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: on your historical hat here and as a historian, this 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: that never happened before, and get your reaction. Well, I 12 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: think you have to see this as part of a 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: bigger picture. Donald Trump came out of nowhere to challenge 14 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: the entire establishment. It is a stunningly corrupt system, and 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: I don't think most of us realize how really deep 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: we know it was biased. I don't think that any 17 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: idea how really deeply corrupted was until they decided that 18 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: their very survival was at stake, and starting in twenty sixteen, 19 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: they just methodically began breaking the rules. This latest indictment 20 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: is just part of a long process of trying to 21 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: destroy Trump because he is the major barrier to their 22 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: dominating and controlling the rest of us. And that's what 23 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: people need to realize. The real target isn't Trump. The 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: real target is every single American who is supposed to 25 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: believe that seven year olds get to decide their gender, 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: that anti white racism is acceptable, that having equity, which 27 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: guarantees that being competent doesn't matter anymore, is acceptable, and 28 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: that they will define the language you are allowed to use. 29 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: Now you know that this is a straight out power 30 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: grab by a militant minority, and Donald Trump was standing 31 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: in their way. And this particular indictment, which is an absurdity. 32 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: I watched your show last night. The lawyer after lawyer 33 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: comes on and says, this is crazy. There are no 34 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: crimes in the thirty five items they claim that he's 35 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: going to enforce federal law in terms of election law 36 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: is nuts, just totally hopeless. And this whole thing is 37 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: pure politics of the most vicious and narrow kind, which 38 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: we normally associate with Venezuela or Zimbabwe or somebolaze else 39 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: but we don't think of it occurring in the United 40 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: States of America. You know, historically, I can look at 41 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: this and look back at our history together. Because I 42 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: was the MC the night you became Speaker of the House. 43 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: It was the first time that Republicans took control of 44 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: the House in forty years. A great night in my life. 45 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: You let me be a part of it, and I'm 46 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: still to this day very appreciative of it. But they 47 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: started in on you really, really quickly, and before you 48 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: were even the speaker, you were the Gingrichs that stole 49 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Christmas Time magazine, which was actually a real magazine at 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: the time, Newsweek magazine, which also was a real magazine 51 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: at the time, putting you on their front cover as Scrooge. 52 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: And it went downhill from there. By February of that year, 53 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: you decided you weren't going to talk to the press 54 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: very much anymore. And they demonized you and beat you 55 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: up and slandered and smeared and besmirched you every step 56 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: of the way. And on top of that, they hit 57 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: you with more ethics complaints that were bogus and frivolous 58 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: than anybody probably in history up to that point. And 59 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: that and now I can look back and say that 60 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: was a preview of coming attractions. Yeah. Look, I think 61 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: the shock of losing control after forty years. The Democrats 62 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: had two choices. They could decide they screwed up, or 63 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: they could decide I cheated. Well they picked new cheated, 64 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: but as much as I and we did have a 65 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: big impact. And we all remember we shook the system 66 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: so badly that Bill Clinton actually came to the State 67 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: of the Union and announced the era of big government 68 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: is over. And we had welfare reform and other things, 69 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: but the end of welfare as we know that those were. 70 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: That was a dramatic turnaround on his part, right, and 71 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: we ended up signing four consecutive balanced budgets for the 72 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: only time in our lifetime. But Trump's different. Trump is 73 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: a direct, mortal threat to all of these huge bureaucracies, 74 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: and they are literally in a fight for their survival 75 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: and they will break any law, do whatever it takes, 76 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: cheat whenever necessary, lie and steal. I mean, it's astonishing 77 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: you had fifty one intelligence officers sign a letter defending 78 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop as a Russian faith when they knew 79 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't true. Fifty one officials in the intelligence unity 80 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: because they hate Trump. There they are so afraid of honesty. 81 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: And I just sat to him meeting this morning talking 82 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: about how we re formed the Pentagon, and the intensity 83 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: of these big deureaucracies defending themselves and preserving the right 84 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: to be incompetent and wasteful is just to me, it's astonishing. 85 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: You see. One of the things I think they're trying 86 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: to do is create what is nothing short of a 87 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: legal tsunami that Donald Trump will have to deal with 88 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: every day throughout the twenty twenty four campaign. For example, 89 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: in this case, I don't think it's set to come 90 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: back up again except promotions that are going to be 91 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: filed until December. Well, that's headed right into the Iowa 92 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: CAUCUSUS there's a civil case a woman alleging a sexual 93 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: attack in a changing room at a huge department store 94 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: in New York City. She doesn't know if it was 95 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: ninety five or some other years. She's not sure of 96 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: the year, but he has to defend against that. Then, 97 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: of course we have the Fulton County, Georgia issue, and 98 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: I have no doubt I guess after what Brag pulled off, 99 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: the odds are pretty high that they'll they'll pull out 100 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: an indictment somewhere. I've read that transcript three times, And 101 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: I don't see any crime in that transcript when you 102 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: put it in context at all. Then who knows what 103 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: the special counsel is looking into? They say January sixth 104 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: and the document issue at Marlago. It seems to me 105 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: that this is like a cascading you know, document dump, 106 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: legal dump on Donald Trump's head had you know, how 107 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: does he function and run a campaign under all of 108 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: these legal issues? Well, I mean, the remarkable thing about 109 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is that he will in fact block these 110 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: off and spend five percent of his time dealing with 111 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: this stuff and ninety five percent of his time becoming 112 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: president again. And he has a remarkable capacity for concentrating. 113 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: He's a very tough guy. I mean, you know, I 114 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: don't know if anybody else who could have gone through 115 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: the last in years and not eventually been just broken, 116 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: and yet he's fighting. You know, he could he could 117 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: have gone to Mari Largo, dropped out of politics and 118 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: faced none of these problems because they would all have 119 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: gone away. Now, the problem the left has is when 120 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: you create a martyr, you know, Joan of Arc for example, 121 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: who save France, you suddenly are increasing the psychological power 122 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: of the person that you're going after Trump today. I mean, 123 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: even people like Mitt Romney and Jeff Bush have come 124 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: out and said this is totally wrong. And in a sense, 125 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: what they're forcing people to do is choose between a 126 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: corrupt system that's a threat to all of us and 127 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Well, he's going to win that choice. I mean, 128 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: they would have been far better off to have been quiet, 129 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: let him alone and see whether or not he could 130 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: get renominated in a normal environment. Instead, they're creating an 131 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: environment where anybody who criticizes him, he's going to look 132 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: like they're on the side of this corrupt, deeply entrenched establishment. 133 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: And I think that means in a Republican primary that 134 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: he's now ninety percent of a way to being the nominee. Well, 135 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: so let me ask this question. I argue, and have 136 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: been arguing that these very specific issues that will probably 137 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: impact the twenty twenty four election, we don't know what 138 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: they are, but I think the odds are very heavy 139 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: that it's going to be about peace and prosperity, as 140 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: it usually is. You see the Biden economy, you see 141 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: two thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, You see 142 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: predictions of a recession, You see what China is now 143 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: doing because America is now no longer the leader of 144 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: the free world in the absence of a real strong president. 145 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: He's taken full advantage, including sending a spy balloon all 146 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: over the continental United States in Alaska, and then of 147 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: course Putin taken down a drone. And then now we 148 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 1: have China aligning with Russia, and then we have a 149 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: Ran in the mix, and the Chinese brokering deals with 150 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: the Saudis and the Iranians, and now the Saudis and 151 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: the Syrians. And now he's trying to get a footprint 152 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: in Latin America and in Cuba. President she is and 153 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking at you a new axis of evil, and 154 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: I don't think America is prepared, and I don't think 155 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: Joe can handle it. Look, I think as long as 156 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: Biden is in the White House, America is going to 157 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: get weaker. It's going to become more dangerous. And then 158 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm delighted that the House Republicans have established with huge 159 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: democratic support. By the way they did a select committee 160 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: on China. I think you're going to see the country 161 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: more and more focused on what is it going to take? 162 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: But it's our system depends upon a commander in chief 163 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: who is competent in terms of foreign policy. Domestically, the 164 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: Congress is dramatically more important. But when you're dealing with 165 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: national security and foreign policy, you have to have a 166 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: commander in chief, you know, not a winer in chief, 167 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: not an avoider in chief, not an appeaser in chief, 168 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: a commander in chief. And no reasonable person thinks that 169 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's capable of command. All right, quick break Moore 170 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: with former Speaker of the House New king Ridge. Later on, 171 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: Bill O'Riley checks in with us Hannity tonight, nine eastern. 172 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: We've got a great show for you tonight, audience show. 173 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Hope you'll join us ninety eastern, say you dbr Fox 174 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: News and we'll get to your calls at the bottom 175 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: of the half hour. Eight hundred and nine four one 176 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: Shawn our number as we continue. All right, we continue 177 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: a former Speaker of the House, New king Ridge, author 178 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: of the book Defeating Big Government Socialism, Amazon dot com, 179 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: Hannity dot com, bookstores everywhere. So I guess the question is, 180 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: do you think in the end, does this make him 181 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: stronger as a candidate? And I'm not just talking about 182 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: in the primary I want to know in the primary 183 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: but also in a general election. Well, I think I 184 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: made him stronger in both because it is going to 185 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: force the country to polarize between those who defend a 186 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: totally corrupt, dishonest system and those who want to change it. 187 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: And if that's the choice, you're going to see a 188 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: lot of normal moderates shift to Trump just out of 189 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: disgust at how corrupt and how dishonest the system has become, 190 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: and a realization by the way, that if they can 191 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: get away of doing this to Trump, they can do 192 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: it to anybody in the country. Do you think that's 193 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: really sinking in. I did like the president's speech last night. 194 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: Number one was short, it was not that long. Number 195 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: two I thought he was pitch perfect. Number three then 196 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: it was a history level lesson in terms of all 197 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: that they have done to him since the time he 198 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: came down that escalator at Trump Tower and made it 199 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: an announcement that he's running for president. Right. No, I 200 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: thought it was one of his better performances. He's stuck 201 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: to the script. He delivered it with the right tone. 202 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he has to, on the one hand, be 203 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: pretty strong, but on the other hand, he has to 204 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: also sound very reasonable, and do you think you accomplished that? 205 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: I thought, well, I thought he did. But I'm very biased. 206 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, christ and I watched it together, and she 207 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: likes him so much that you know, she automatically assumed 208 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: it was a great speech before he started. No, but 209 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: you know what, there are other speeches different, Caden's, different tone, different. Yeah. 210 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: I thought it was actually pitch perfect in the considering 211 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: the severity of the moment and people that don't follow politics, 212 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: like like us, they don't know all of these things. 213 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: The more Trump can be reasonable, the stronger he's going 214 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: to get. And the more he allows the left to 215 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: be extreme, the better off he's going to be. And 216 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to measure his ability to use strong 217 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: language against their ability. He wants to be the person 218 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: who represents the American citizen and is defending the American 219 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: citizen against these corrupt, bad people. And that's the right 220 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: tone for him. And I think if he can stick 221 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: to that, the majority may become shockingly big by the 222 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: time we get to November of two thousand and twenty four. 223 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: Is it okay if I task you with that job 224 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: to encourage him and force him to stick to it. 225 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: I'll give I think I think you're perfect for that role. Well, 226 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: you can task it encouraging, but you can't challenge me 227 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: to make sure I do it. Oh, I could task 228 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: you with it. You'll take the task upon yourself, but 229 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: you're not going to be graded on it. Well, and 230 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: he is his own person. I mean, you know he 231 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: has survived because he marches to some inner drummer. That 232 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: is remarkable. But as you know, I mean, I routinely 233 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: suggest to him that the more reasonably is, the stronger 234 00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: is which which is the opposite of what people will 235 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: sometimes think. He has a chance right now to coalesce 236 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: an amazing percent of the country who are disgusted with 237 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: how corrupt the system has become. And the columber he is, 238 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: and the more reasonable he is, the easier it will 239 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: be for people to decide that they're with you. All right, Yeah, well, 240 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think it is that simple 241 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: former Speaker of the House, author of the book Defeating 242 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: Big Government Socialism Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores 243 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: around the country.

Recently I checked in with my financial guy. 291 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: I said, look, I want to limit my exposure in 292 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: the stock market. He goes, I know you tell me 293 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: every other day, but I do because I don't trust it. 294 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: And you know, all these smart people are predicting that, 295 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: you know what, this is the calm before the storm, 296 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: and I'm concerned about it.

Look at these economic policies, war inflation, a 305 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: possible recession.

We mentioned earlier 327 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: in the program.

It's none 329 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: of their damn business. And by the way, Joe Biden, 330 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: what has he done in light of their hostile actions 331 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: against us by sending their spy balloon? He hasn't done 332 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: a thing. What has Joe Biden done with Vladimir Putin 333 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: taken out one of our drones flying over international airspace? Nothing? 334 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: He hasn't done a thing. Is that a coincidence that 335 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: the Biden family does business, you know, through Hunter and 336 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: his various companies, with China and Russia and what a 337 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: dozen other countries? According to James Comer, what are we 338 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: going to find out? How much money in business that 339 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: the Bidens have done with the communist Chinese and the 340 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: Russians as well as Ukraine and all these other countries. 341 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to know how much money did they do 342 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: in business? How much money did they get to put 343 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: in their pocket as a result of these business deals? 344 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: Because I don't see a strong president with a strong response. 345 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: I watched the communist Chinese lecture US repeatedly about the 346 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: site South China Sea. I watched the threats that Nancy 347 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: Pelosi wanted to go visit the Taiwanese president and an 348 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: attend and their president. She's out there talking about we 349 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: are as a nation are preparing for war war with who. 350 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: We see their fighter jets flying over taiwan airspace. Nobody 351 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: lifts a finger. Joe doesn't do anything. And then, of course, 352 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: in the absence of American leadership, Joe is now basically 353 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: missing in action. Well what's the net result of that? 354 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: You see a relationship now formed between President she and 355 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. You see that they've brought in the Iranian 356 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: mulos with them. You see that they've now broker a deal. 357 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: But with the Saudis and the Iranians, they're brokering another 358 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: deal with the Saudis and the Syrians. That just means 359 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: that Saudi Arabia decided. America's checked out, that we have 360 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: given up that mantle as the leader of the free world, 361 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: and we are showing zero strength at all. And it's bad. 362 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: And the Epic Times had a piece today. North Korea 363 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: could attack South Korea in the event that China invades Taiwan. 364 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: What is Joe gonna do? Then? I don't even think 365 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: Joe knows where North Korea is. I don't even think 366 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: you'd understand what was actually going on. It's that bad. 367 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: You know. By the way, we had a report this 368 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: week because all the other news, we didn't really get 369 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: to it. How Beijing with that spy balloon quote, got 370 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: real time information while the US waited to shoot it down, 371 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: starting in Alaska, down through Idaho, right over Montana and 372 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: our missile silos, and you know, all over you know, 373 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: right near all these military bases, you know, like Fort 374 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: Leavenworth in Kansas, and Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, 375 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, 376 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: and the Naval Weapons Station Point based Charleston, South Carolina, 377 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: and Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This was not by accident. Or 378 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: Malstrom Air Force Base in Montana. They went there too. 379 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: They went flew over all of these places, They got 380 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: all the intel fedback in real time, and then they 381 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: lied to us. You know, so the Chinese by balloon 382 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: sending information back to Beijing the entire time that Joe 383 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: Biden is meandering and doing nothing and trying to hide 384 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: it from we, the American people, and then coming out 385 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: with a lie. Well happened during Trump's time too. We 386 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: found out much much later. It was a short incursion, 387 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: but it happened. Not one person in the Trump campaign 388 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: involved the national security agrees with that assessment. You know, 389 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: so what are we gonna do? Okay? The US is 390 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: boosting their military presence near Taiwan? Is that you saying 391 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: that if China invades Taiwan that Joe is gonna fight 392 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: back and defend our ally Because the answer is no, 393 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: he's not. Frankly, I'm surprised it's taken Chia's long to 394 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: make the decision. I think he's ready decided. It's to me, 395 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. 396 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: And then, of course, the communist Chinese didn't want McCarthy 397 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: to meet with Taiwan's president in California. Gordon Chang is 398 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: a regular on Hannity, both the radio show and the 399 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: TV show. He's saying that China is ready for war, 400 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: America is ill prepared for it. And he said, the 401 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: one thing we know is China is making fast preparations 402 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: for war right now. Now he's with the Gatestone Institute 403 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: as a senior fellow. He said, the great US China 404 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 1: Tech War is what he called it. And you know 405 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: we have the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Mark Millie, 406 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: twenty four hours or forty eight hours ago, said this 407 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: was overheated rhetoric the way he put it. But China 408 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: is preparing to do whatever they feel like doing, and 409 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: they know that they have a week leader by the 410 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: name of Joe Biden, and there's not going to be 411 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: any ramification. Has anybody been talking about Joe's hostage crisis? 412 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: Are we the only ones that have mentioned that? Tony 413 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: Blincoln before a Senate committee mentioned that, yes, there are 414 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: at least one hundred and seventy five Americans that Joe 415 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: remember he promised not to do this, that Joe abandoned 416 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan and many are being held hostage. Wall Street 417 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: Journal reporter now is being imprisoned in Russia raised his questions, 418 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: why was this guy targeted? Well, maybe he was a 419 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: spy after all, No, he wasn't, I doubt it. And 420 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: what's Joe doing to get him home? Just like we 421 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: had been saying long before they ever got a deal 422 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: for a horrible deal for w NBA star Britney Griner. 423 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: I mean, thank god she's home. I'm glad we got 424 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: her out. But the deal was not fair. And Joe's 425 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: going to spend apparently another two point six billion in 426 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: US military aid, and he's not going to demand that 427 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: Western Europe pay their fair share first, and he's not 428 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: going to take the handcuffs off and let Ukraine at 429 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: actually win the war. So it's a waste of our 430 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: time and I'm waste of our money. All right, let's 431 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: get to our phones. Let us say hi to Marios 432 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: in the Free State of Florida. What's up, Mario, How 433 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: are you hello, Rison Hannity, Yes, yes, listening to the radio. Yeah, 434 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: I really, Oh my goodness. Uh. You know, as Donald 435 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: Trump was being driven through the streets, I realized that 436 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: the Biden administration was doing what ancient armies actually did 437 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: after defeating an enemy. They were parading essentially the defeated 438 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: general through the city. That's what they used to do. 439 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: They would defeat the ancient armies. You know. For the 440 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: Biden administration, this was a propaganda coup. And I'm sure 441 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure that I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck 442 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: Schumer were dancing a jig. However, they they may have 443 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: won the battle, but I'm sure they lost the war 444 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: because Donald Trump is now the most popular presidential candidate 445 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: America has ever seen in the last two hundred forty 446 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: eight years. It's the largest campaign contribution that I think 447 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump will get in this coming election cycle. I 448 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: believe that with all my heart what they're but You've 449 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: got to be careful here, and I'm taking every one 450 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: of these these legal issues he's facing seriously. I mean, 451 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: I truly believe that if they can, they would put 452 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: him in an orange jumpsuit to stop him. I think 453 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: there's nothing they wouldn't do to stop him. I mean, 454 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: it's been obvious since the day he came down the 455 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: escalator at Trump Tower. Why would they stop now? And 456 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: he's got this is a tsunami of you know, that 457 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: will drown everybody out if you had to face one 458 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: legal issue after another, after another after another, and all 459 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: of these, you know, all of this legal crap is 460 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: hanging over his head. How do you run a campaign 461 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: having to deal with all of that simultaneously. I don't know. 462 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I give him a lot of credit. One 463 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: of the strongest men I've ever met. But that's gonna 464 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 1: be tough for anybody to conquer. And it's these are 465 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: scary times. This is not the United States that I 466 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: believe in. Look, that's ruled and governed by a constitution, 467 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: ruled and governed by the rule of law, that has 468 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: and believes and practices equal justice under the law, an 469 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: equal application of our laws. That this is the stuff 470 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: of a banana republic. Maureen Callahan in the Daily Mail, 471 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: you know alone somber, all grandiosity gone. Never has the 472 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: great Showman look so diminished. But this was not only 473 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: the worst day of Donald Trump's life. It was the 474 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: moment America became a banana republic. Pretty profound. Let's head 475 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: out to Tennessee, Charles next on Hannity Show. What's up, Charles? 476 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: Are you a lot of people moving into your state? Yes, 477 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: a lot of people moving in. Just wanting to let 478 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: you know. You were on yesterday and you said you 479 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: read the indictment and you said did with intent to 480 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: defraud and to commit another crime? What fraud? Who did 481 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: he defraud? What crime? Alvin Bragg deliberately drafted a skeleton 482 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: indictment legally sufficient to stop the Statute of limitations, but 483 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: not enough to provide mister Trump with his six Amendment 484 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: right to know the cause in nature the charges against him. 485 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: So now Trump's lawyers must go back to the New 486 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: York Court file a motion for bill of particulars. That's 487 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: what we lawyers call it, motion for a bill of particulars. 488 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: Who was he defrauding? What crime was to be committed? 489 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: That'll be heard in what six eight weeks in a 490 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: non jury motion day. Of course, the judge will grant 491 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: the motion and he'll probably give Alvin Bragg about ninety 492 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: days to provide the details that the defense is entitled to. 493 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: You bet on the eighty ninth day, Calvin Bragg will 494 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: drop an insufficient report that will require the Trump lawyers 495 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: to file motion to compel. That'll be heard in about 496 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: six to eight weeks later, and mister Brown will get 497 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: Bragg will get perhaps ninety more days. This is your 498 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: last chance. The Trump defense team will finally get their 499 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: information about Easter of next year, and until they have 500 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: that information, they're not even in a position to file 501 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: a motion for some rejudgment. Motion to watch. Obviously, you're 502 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: a well trained attorney, because Mgreen, with every thing you're saying, 503 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: and never mind the statue of the limitations that passed, 504 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: never mind this is a novel legal theory never used before. 505 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: Never mind that this is clearly selective prosecution. I believe 506 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: prosecutorial misconduct will see over time. But all these things 507 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 1: come into play, and you know, the first thing that 508 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: I would the first motion I would put forward to 509 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: is a motion for a venue change because I don't 510 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: think Donald J. Trump can get a fair trial in 511 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,719 Speaker 1: New York City. I don't. That's a very difficult motion 512 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: to advance. A lot judges don't listen to the lawyers 513 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: tell them he can't get a fair trial. They want 514 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: the jurors. And so if you try and seat a 515 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: jury and the jurors in questioning, say I'm a registered 516 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: Democrat and I donated to the campaign, you only get 517 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: a certain amount of people you can disqualify, exactly. And 518 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: now we're into Christmas of next year before you could 519 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: have a trial. The goal is not to have a trial. 520 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: The goal is to knock Donald Trump out of the race. 521 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: That's why I keep saying that this entire big picture, 522 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: forty thousand foot you know, view tells me that this 523 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: is a lot bigger than album Bragg and then you 524 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: got the civil case, then you got possibly a Georgia 525 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: case in Fulton County. Then you've got a possible special 526 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: Council case. Is who knows he's investigating two things. I 527 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen, but I suspect that 528 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot more from a lot 529 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: of these people. And it should be concerning to everybody 530 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: if you care about if you care about our constitution, 531 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: if you care about the rule of law, and then 532 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: you look at the history of all the things that 533 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: the counterparts of Donald Trump over the years have done 534 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: and gotten away with and others have gotten away with. 535 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,719 Speaker 1: You can't with a straight face say that we have 536 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: equal justice and application of our laws in the United 537 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: States anymore. You can't say it. It's not true. And 538 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: that's a sad day for this country. You know, Trump 539 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: said to defund the FBI, ow the judiciary committees looking 540 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: into whether the FBI is politicized and the DOJ is weaponized. 541 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,239 Speaker 1: If in fact it is, we're going to need a 542 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: new three letter agency and start again and build up 543 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: the world's premier law enforcement agency as the FBI once was. 544 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: And those people that are committed to the principles of 545 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: law and order and their mission. They should we should 546 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: hold on to them. Those people that have been in charge, 547 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: that have allowed, you know, they're this great, great organization 548 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: to deteriorate need to go. And that goes for the DJ. 549 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: You cannot weaponize justice in America and expect to have 550 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: equal justice. And this is unfortunately how I see it. 551 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: All this this ought.
