Welcome Gart, Sure it's play denin or thank 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: you very much. Well, it's my honor because of the 16 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: way you have fought for quality FBI agents who have 17 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: been trying to follow their oaths and keep their keep 18 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: their job while they're following their oaths, and that can 19 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: sometimes be difficult, especially with some of the things that 20 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: you've seen. You know, well, why don't you you you've 21 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: got numerous clients that you've tried to help. You had 22 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: been an FBI agent, you know what it's like. And 23 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: by the way, I saw the article, your article, let's 24 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: see Kurt Cisak, prosecutor and former FBI agents, said he 25 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: left the bureau after nearly twenty five years because FBI 26 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: leaders aren't being held accountable and that FBI agent sparitly 27 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: or questioning Christopher Ray's leadership. And then I saw that 28 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: the FBI Agents associations, I understand they claim they have 29 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: ninety percent of FBI agents who they represent, and they said, 30 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: oh no, everything's hunky dory f the FBI. Christopher Ray 31 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: is a great leader, and I would agree with that. 32 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: I think he is a fantastic leader if you think 33 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: that it's good in order to clean up an organization 34 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: to just sweep everything under the floor, under the rug, 35 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: because I feel like that's what he's done. He has 36 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: swept things under the rug, and he has not been 37 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: honest and forthcoming in my opinion. But let's let's hear 38 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: from you. You've got so many different clients. How about 39 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: telling us about the city situation with the skiff on 40 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: the seventh floor where the director and the deputy director 41 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: of the FBI are located. I will tell you that 42 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: it's inside the seventh floor, which is the headquarters of 43 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: the FBI. To who were building, they have what's called 44 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: the skiff, a compartment mentalized area where where basically secrets 45 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: are transacted. You can talk about secrets, but there's restrictions 46 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: to that. One is you're not allowed to have cell phones, 47 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: you can't have electronic here. It's basically supposed to be 48 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: a clean area where the secrets are are kept safe. 49 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: And my clients and I have the most well and 50 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: client and actually, Kurt, we have those skifts like that 51 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: over on Capitol Hill. There's a few of those there, 52 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: but the one that is in the headquarters of the 53 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: FBI has got to be one of the most crucial 54 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: skiffs where things really are so important that they kept 55 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: kept top secret. I think that is really a distinction. 56 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: This isn't just a regular skiff like I've been in 57 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: skifts overseas at a state department or an embassy. This 58 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: is the headquarters of the FBI are upper most secrets 59 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: are taken on there. Well, that's where they talk about 60 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: the names of informants. They will talk about the most secrets, 61 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: the highest secrets in the government. And meanwhile you have 62 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: the deputy director and you have other people to have 63 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: cell phones inside that skiff, which is an outrage. Now, 64 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: this came to me from agents within the FBI. I 65 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: represent probably I don't know thirty to fifty percent of 66 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: the whistleblowers have come forward because they I know quite 67 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: a few people in the FBI. But these agents came 68 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: forward and said they were actually doing the sweeps to 69 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: protect and make sure there were no phones, and the 70 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: whole place was loaded with electronic devices. That's an outrage, 71 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: that the breach of national security. Well, and actually, if 72 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I were recalled the scenario correctly, you had people that 73 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: complained that there were people with cell phones and there 74 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: was WiFi in this gift and that was in the 75 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: headquarters area. And then the deputy FBI director came out 76 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: and condemned you that that was not true. And then 77 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: you had people that were whistleblowers that said, wait, wait, wait, 78 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: the deputy director is lying, because our job is to 79 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: make sure it is secured and we can verify it 80 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: is not secure on that top level of the seventh 81 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: floor of the FBI. And't that about the way it happened. Yeah, 82 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: And here's the thing, these aren't. These aren't just people 83 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: off the street you've met, you've met and you've talked 84 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: to some of these. These are highly credible FBI best 85 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: with some of the decades of experience to come to 86 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: me because I have twenty four years in the bureau 87 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: and I know the policies, I know the procedures, and 88 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: they've complained about this. I mean, this is this is 89 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: not just an FB headquarters. The FBI has shown an 90 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: ability to completely disregard rules and procedures and relates to themselves. Yeah, 91 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: they will prosecute people, they will go after people, but 92 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to themselves, they went I think even 93 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: with Trump there was an issue of national security. Well, 94 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: a bigger issue of national security is inside FBI headquarters. 95 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: Inside the room where Ray and where Pault will be 96 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: the deputy direct are where they have that and it's 97 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: completely exposed. Yeah, you could have a spy next door 98 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: just listening in. And one of my thoughts was with 99 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: regard to the documents at Marlago, Trump wants to secure 100 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: documents that show exactly how the lies were created about 101 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: the Russia collusion. He does not want those documents destroyed. 102 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: And then we know that there were FBI agents complicit 103 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: in setting him up and getting a warrant illegally. And 104 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: so I would put my money on those documents regarding 105 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: Russian collusion being safer at Marlago and Trump's hands than 106 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: they would be at the FBI, but where it would 107 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: implicate some of them in what I believe were crimes. 108 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: But you also, and it is we many of us 109 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: in Congress have talking well, we were hoping it was 110 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: mainly there at the headquarters where our problems were. But 111 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: you've got whistleblowers like west of the Mississippi, where you 112 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: had prosecutors, federal prosecutors that wanted um FBI agents to 113 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: sign affidavits, and you lay out the way it was, 114 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: as I understand, they wanted them to sign a false 115 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: affidavit to get a warrant. Two agents were asks to 116 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: sign an affidavit they did not agree with. They did 117 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: they believed that alfidavit was this is going before Congress 118 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: already as a protective disclosure. The supervisor refused to have 119 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: to force these agents to sign that those those UM warrants, 120 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: and the supervisor was removed, he was put under a 121 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: performance plant, tempts put under a performance plan. He was 122 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 1: removed from his job, he was removed from the state, 123 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: he was subject to UM a letter of requirement. They 124 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: were tempted to get that. They tempted to put him 125 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: under OPR for internal discipline. This everything here happened immediately 126 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: after he said I won't have my agents sign a 127 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: fault document. Yea under oath. I mean in Salt Lake 128 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: should be removed. Yeah, that they in a sac there, 129 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: Crawford and Rice, they should be immediately removed for even 130 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: considering that. That's the that's the plan. Yeah, mission of 131 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: FBI is to tell the truth exactly. Now. I've heard 132 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: from FBI agents I've talked to who say, you know, 133 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: when they hear from Christopher Ray spoken to them, Deputy 134 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: director spoken to them, and they're always talking about you've 135 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: got to protect the brand. That they don't ever come 136 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: out and say, you have got to be one hundred 137 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: percent honest and everything you do. And everybody that hears 138 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: them say you got to protect the brand knows that 139 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: they're saying don't you dare file a whistleblower account of anything. 140 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: You protect the brand by just keeping it to yourself 141 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: and don't let these bad things out because they're going 142 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: to come after you if you hurt the brand by 143 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: telling the truth while they're being dishonest. Is that accurate? 144 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: I will tell you. I will tell you that. And 145 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: over in the Newer Field office, four agents actually file 146 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: complaints against one agent who actually did a drug by 147 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: this informant stole drugs. And then the four agents complained 148 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: because that other agent well had the informant by other 149 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: drugs and put it in the evidence fault. And when 150 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: in the four agents complained, one of the one or 151 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: two of them was accused of false statements. They were 152 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: removed from their jobs. They were threatened with termination threat Well, 153 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: this is still going on in this case. This is 154 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: a racketeering case. And what they did. I looked at 155 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: the file this afternoon and I could see no information 156 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: that the FBI actually disclosed to the federal judge over 157 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: Newark that, in fact that there were four agents, through 158 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: a highly credible decades of experience, who were in drug 159 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: cases who said this guy did something. He made a 160 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: false statement when he put that those drugs into evidence. 161 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: It does not look like to date that they've disclosed 162 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: that to the federal judge. And there's eight African Americans 163 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: from the Marion Housing Project that are sitting in jail 164 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: waiting for a trial or for sentencing. I'm based on 165 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: what drugs that actually an agent illegally bought and nothing 166 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: has been done about it. And here's the thing. The 167 00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: agents begged. They begged Director Ray to intervene, They begged 168 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: the deputy director to intervene. Ray knew about it, did nothing. Yeah, 169 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: well that was a horror show. Well and actually, for 170 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: people that don't know, back several years ago, Ray was 171 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: quoted as saying, you know, in effect that Muller and 172 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: Komey were his, you know, his heroes. He wanted to 173 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: be anywhere they were. That should have told y'all you 174 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: needed to know. But also haven't there been allegations of 175 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: sexual improprieties and favoritism in the headquarters. Sure I had 176 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: when one of the reasons I began doing this work 177 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: is because a friend of mine one day broke down 178 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: and told me that she was actually physically assaulted inside 179 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: the inside the f GUI headquarters. Now I represent FBI employees. 180 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: I represent a GUI agents, the most credible people in 181 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: the world. I'm not saying this from information that hasn't 182 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: been presented to Congress. Right now we have I'll go 183 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: back to the Newark office. There was one agent in 184 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: Newerk who had the nickname the Rapist. I found this 185 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: out because I walked into New York on another case 186 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: and one of the agents walked in and told the 187 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: person at the desk, Hey, where's the rapist? Now? This 188 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: guy was accused of basically like four to six counts 189 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: of sexual harassment going after women. I was involved in 190 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: another case with the same guy was involved. Where where 191 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: they were where basically the EAP counselor was sending intimate 192 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: objects to a woman who had been been subject to 193 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: sexual discriminimination. Right now, I would bet thirty to fifty 194 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: percent of my cases involve women who are being harassed, 195 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: and even worse, going to Louisville where you have sec. 196 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: Jody Cohne and you have another a stack out there. 197 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: What they're doing is one woman was subject to a 198 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: domestic violence and they're trying and after they came to 199 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: an agreement with this woman, they are now trying to 200 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: fire her because she's a threat to national security. Worse, yet, 201 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: in that office, they had a guy who was arrested, 202 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: male agent was arrested and he for a domestic violence. 203 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: He never lost his gun. They're targeting a victim of 204 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: domestic violence, even though the National Director of Intelligence has 205 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: said any type of domestic violence isn't an issue related 206 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: to whether you keep a national security It's impossible. You 207 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: don't want female e isn't to shoot her husband because 208 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: you'd afraid of her job. Right, and time after time 209 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: he show this would not happen in any other company. 210 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: This wouldn't happen in any other agency. Well, yea, the 211 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: most powerful agency in the country and probably the world 212 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: right now. They have the electronics, they have the capability 213 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: of hurting people. Yes, they do, and they have And 214 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: I've had numerous FBI agents say, remember back in the 215 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: eighties and nineties, when if we were dealing with somebody 216 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: who was non violent, especially had no criminal history, we 217 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: would call them or their lawyer and say you report 218 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: to the jail at this time or that. There was 219 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: no knocking down doors in the middle of the night 220 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: and dragging them out in their underwear for the media 221 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: that they'd alerted to be there to film it. This 222 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: is so outrageous. There was most of my life as 223 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: a former prosecutor and judge chief Justice where I would 224 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: have put my life in the hands of the FBI 225 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: agents I knew. But I'm telling you, Kurt, now, if 226 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: an FBI agent comes to somebody, I would suggest do 227 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: not talk to them without a lawyer.

They released it at one thirty in 304 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: the morning. It's full of I think seven thousand earmarks. 305 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: I mean, all kinds of craziness. We're still sorting through 306 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: the spending from the previous year, but in the previous 307 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: year's bill we actually found recently two point four million 308 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: spent to inject beagles with cocaine, which is kind of ridiculous. 309 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: The purpose was to see if cocaine had adverse side effects. 310 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: It's like, really, we got enough dumb humans injecting themselves 311 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: and taking cocaine to know that. Another one was one 312 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen thousand. They spent studying Marvel comics. There's 313 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: a guy named Thanos who's the evil Warlord. They wanted 314 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: to know if they had a human with metal hands 315 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: or a robot, if he snapped his fingers he could 316 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: make the snapping sound, and lo and behold, they hired 317 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: some dude. He wore metal gloves and he could not 318 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: make the snapping sound. Going to just ridiculous and insane stuff. 319 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: All kinds of port now, did you not want to 320 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: participate in the eleven thousand square foot spa from COVID 321 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: relief funds? I mean that sounds like that could be nice, Rand, Yeah, 322 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean there's all kinds of crazy things they put 323 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: in there. And the thing is is they want you 324 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: to think that this is about widows and orphans. Now, 325 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: this is about pork and large jess, and it's about 326 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: giving your friends special favors. But really what ends up 327 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: happening is we add to the debt. This bill we passed, 328 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: not that we that they passed you and I voted 329 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: against it, but this bill adds over a trillion dollars 330 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: to the debt. We're at thirty one trillion dollars. And 331 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: when the Fed buys that debt, they create new money, 332 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: and that's where inflation comes from. And so the same 333 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: people they say they're going to try to help the 334 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: working class, the poor senior citizens, are really the ones 335 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: getting creamed by the inflation they're creating to all this debt. Well, 336 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: and I know we say it so often, but it 337 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: is so true. I mean, how hard the future generations 338 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: are going to have to work to pay for that 339 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: trillion dollars we just added to their debt, and along 340 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: with the interest and all that gets added on in 341 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: the meantime, it is really just immoral to be packing 342 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: on that kind of debt to future generations. Yeah, our 343 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: interest is now about four hundred billion, but it's projected 344 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: to be over a trillion within a decade, a trillion 345 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: dollars a year in interest, and that interest will push 346 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: out everything, you know, even the things that we think 347 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: government should be doing, like providing for national events, all 348 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: of that is going to be pushed out of the 349 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: way by interest and inflation. Yeah, we've got real problems. 350 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: I also think that someday that it's not just a 351 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: matter of yeah, grandkids will pay for this, it's a 352 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: matter of little of the currency in the country. List. 353 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: I think our biggest threat really isn't from without. It's 354 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: not an enemy invading our shores. It's really from within. 355 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: It's the destruction of the currency that goes along with 356 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: such prolonged and profound debt. Yeah. And there are countries 357 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: that would love to eliminate the dollar as the international currency. 358 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: And if that happens, then you're going to see big 359 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: trouble here, as you know. Yeah, and I think we've 360 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: been lucky for many, many years. One of our biggest 361 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: exports is dollars, because we buy more goods from China 362 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: than we sell to China. Basically, we export our dollars 363 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: to China and around the world to most of the 364 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: rest of the world. We have a trade deficit, but 365 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: that means we have a trade surplus in dollars that 366 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: we send to them. But by doing that, the money 367 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: that's created here doesn't always chase our goods, chases goods 368 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: around the world. So in some ways we're able to 369 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: have less inflation than probably we would have if we 370 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: learn the reserve currency. And we don't get to sort 371 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: of do that just because we want to. It's an 372 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: historic thing. But there is a time in which you're right. 373 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: Other countries and already China, I ran Russia, they're all 374 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: trying to do business, North Korea do business outside of 375 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: the dollar, and we are dominant. But there is a 376 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: time coming and we don't change our ways. I mean, 377 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: I compared in a speech on the spending bill on 378 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: the floor US to Europe, and we all think of 379 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: Europe as being the government more socialist, but fifteen out 380 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: of twenty six European countries actually balance their annual budget. Yeah, 381 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: big welfare states, but they actually balance their budget and 382 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: they don't run deficits. Well, and people should recall Greece 383 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: has had tremendous trouble, and our debt to GDP ratio 384 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: actually kind of mirrors where Greece was. The difference is 385 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: we have our dollar. They couldn't control the euro, and 386 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: ours is the international currency. But we could find ourselves. 387 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: If some of our enemies convince other nations to eliminate 388 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 1: the dollar as international currency because they just can trust us, 389 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,239 Speaker 1: then it will put us in a situation where we 390 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: won't be able to pay our debts. This is serious stuff. 391 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: So there's a day of reckoning coming. And I tell 392 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: people all the time, particularly Democrats, but also a lot 393 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: of big government republicans. It's one thing to give money 394 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: to other countries. If you ran a surplus and said, well, 395 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: we want to help Ukraine, or we want to help 396 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: this country, or we want to send forty billion dollars 397 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: not just to Ukraine but to other poor countries around 398 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: the world. So Ukraine plus the rest of the four 399 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: and age about eighty billion a year. Now if we 400 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 1: want to send that, it was out of a surplus, 401 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: it would at least be a debatable point. But to 402 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: borrow that money from China to send it to Ukraine 403 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: makes us all weaker. Ukraine's love and getting all the 404 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: free money we're paying for the pensions for their government workers. 405 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: They love all that, but at the same time, it's 406 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: making us a weaker country. And someday we won't be 407 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: a reliable ally to anyone if we're bankrupt. Yeah, and 408 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: I was seeing a headline earlier today that democratic controlled 409 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,239 Speaker 1: states are wor they're not going to be able to 410 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: pay off their pensions. Well, that's what happens when you 411 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: spend more money than you've got. And nobody has been 412 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: more of a warrior on this issue than you have Rand, 413 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: But we've got to continue to fight. And I guess 414 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: my biggest frustration in Washington now is not Democrats so much. 415 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: It's not one of them says they care about the debt. 416 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: They run on a big government pactform, they run on debt, 417 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: but Republicans uniformly run and say, you know, Obama are 418 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: spending too much and borrowing too much, and then many 419 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: of those same Republicans get up there and then they 420 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: vote with the Democrats. You know, this big spending bill 421 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened had Republicans not chosen to work with 422 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats. And we had eighteen Republicans. We actually had 423 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: more Republicans vote for it in the Senate, and as 424 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: a percentage, we had about I guess about forty percent 425 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: of Republicans, whereas in the House, you guys only had 426 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: probably one or two percent of the Republicans vote for 427 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: this thing. Yeah, and well, and I know there is 428 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: a tendency when people are outgoing in the House are 429 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: the Senate. Well, this is the only time I'll ever 430 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: be leaving, So what's wrong with taking half a billion 431 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: dollars for my special projects on my way out. I'm 432 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: only doing it once, except there are people leaving every 433 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: two years that are trying to do that. Yeah. They 434 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: also make the argument, they say, well, the reason we 435 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: do this is we don't have enough senators. We only 436 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: win the minority. But if people will recall all the 437 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: Texas forty one, if we have forty one, we can 438 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: sustain a filibuster and then we have the room to negotiate. 439 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: And we could have used that leverage to negotiate les 440 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: spending instead the leaders of the Senate came back and said, oh, 441 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: it's great, we got more military spending. We got forty 442 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: five billion dollars more in military and though well, we're 443 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: also sending that to Ukraine as well. But the thing 444 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: is is we got forty five billion more in spending, 445 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: but in order to get that, the Democrats had to 446 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: get spending two more welfare spending. So it's really a 447 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: combination of both right and left. It really is an 448 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: unholding ampliance. It's a compromise between both sides. And really 449 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: there's there's bipartisan blame to go around as first there is. 450 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: There really is, And of course the old gimmick in 451 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: the Senate is, well, I voted against the bill, and 452 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: yet they voted for cloture, or it would never have 453 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: come to a vote where they could vote no. If 454 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: they had voted no on cloture, it would not have 455 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 1: even come. Well in this case, they they voted yes 456 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: on votes. So the eighteen Republicans really voted yes on 457 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: both of these and it's inexcusable. And this is the 458 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: question I posed to them, as I said, look, I 459 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: believe in a strong national defense. I think it's a 460 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: number one priority for the US. But at the same time, 461 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: are we better off and more secure as a nation 462 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: to add forty five billion more to military spending or 463 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: would we be better off lessening the trillion dollars deficit 464 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: that we have. And frankly, I think right now that 465 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: the deficit and the debt is a bigger threat than 466 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: foreign invasion. We have a very strong military. We spend 467 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: more in the military than the next ten countries combined. 468 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: So it's not like we're chinson out. We have a 469 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: strong We have the best military in the world, and 470 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm all for it. But it can't be an unlimited 471 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: check to the military, nor for a welfare It really 472 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: have to be some frugality on both sides. And we 473 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: gave up any leverage to help secure the border. And 474 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: as Scalia has told me years ago, said, don't come 475 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: running over to the the spring Court. You guys have the 476 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: full authority to defund anything you don't. You shouldn't even 477 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: come to us. You know you've got the power to 478 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: take care of that yourself, and we haven't. The good 479 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: news is the OMNI spending bill did have border security. 480 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: The bad news it just wasn't our border news. I 481 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: think there are several other countries that were working on 482 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: up that border, but not ours, Yes, and that's terribly unfortunate. Well, 483 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: any other comments you want to leave with people. As 484 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: we approached the new year, I think the one thing 485 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: that we have to realize and remember is that we 486 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: have a great country. It's a country with the engine 487 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: of capitalism that's created so much wealth. Even with all 488 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: the problems we have. You go around our country and 489 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: you see just phenomenal success people to know that that 490 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: came from something. It came from our economic system, that 491 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: came from freedom, volunteerism, trade, and we can't succumb to 492 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: this idea we're going to you can get something for nothing, 493 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: and that socialism would be a good experiment. And it 494 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: really has to penetrate to the young children because the 495 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: young children are being taught, most of them in the 496 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: government schools, that capitalism are terrible, that wealth is bad, 497 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: at work is bad. And this is a big generational 498 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: problem we face and just like Jefferson said, we're always 499 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: just one generation away from losing it. And so thank 500 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: goodness for people like you and also for Sean Hannity 501 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: or leaking the good fight.

But that's festivals for 506 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: the rest of us. But thank you, Ryan, thanks for 507 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: all your work.

Call in eight hundred and nine 509 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: four one seven three two six eight hundred nine four 510 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: one Sean. This is Louis Golmert sitting in for Sean Hannity. 511 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. This is the Sean Hannity Show. 512 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: This is Louie Gomert can. We've got a number of 513 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: people that have called, and our time is running short. 514 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: We have Russ from Rhode Island that had asked, when 515 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: did the federal government get a free pass to print 516 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: endless money? Well, let me tell you what I was 517 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: told at a meeting with the FEDS some years back. 518 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: I said, how much more money are we printing now 519 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: than we did, say, ten twenty years ago, And he said, 520 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm with printing, it's not too much different what it 521 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: was back then. I said, but there's so much more 522 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: money in the system. And he said, oh, we couldn't 523 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: possibly print all the money we are creating. They're not 524 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: even bothering to print it anymore. They're just adding digits 525 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: to the system. That is a little scary. And I'm 526 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: glad you're asking the question, Russ, because it means you're thinking, 527 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: we had Tom from New Jersey. What leverage will House 528 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: have concerning debt ceiling in the new year? Let me 529 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: tell you the House will have some leverage, but it's 530 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: a matter of just saying we're not voting for a 531 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: bill that doesn't control our debt. And on the debt ceiling, 532 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: it seems even Republicans in the past have looked for 533 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: a way that they wouldn't have to cast a vote 534 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: on that issue. So make sure you let your representatives 535 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: know how you feel, because they're sensitive to that. I 536 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: can tell you and Kim in California, what can we 537 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: do as taxpayers if we're not being represented properly. Well, 538 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: it's been amazing. There are districts that got turned this 539 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: last election or came close to it, So that gives 540 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: me a lot of hope that can still happen. More 541 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: people need to get active to make that happen. But 542 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: let me just tell you God has blessed America more 543 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: than any country, I think, more than Solomon's Israel. Even 544 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: we got more opportunities, more assets individually. But whether He 545 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: continues to bless us in the future is in our hands. 546 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: Where they are the rules out there. It's the way 547 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: you accord yourself and you'll be blessed. We need to 548 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: do that, and people have got to use their heads 549 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: and quit relying and trusting so much on government. Ask questions. 550 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: But I can tell you it helps if you do 551 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: your homework or you ask question. Don't just listen to 552 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: somebody that didn't know what they're talking about and then 553 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: contact the government official and say I know this, well, 554 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: make sure you do your homework and you know. And 555 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: look those that have said, look, you ought to run 556 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: for this or that, let me tell you. I'm not 557 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: running for president. I don't have I'm bald, and we 558 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: want to elect another ball president. So let's get after 559 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: the people we have that are representing us and demand honesty, truth, 560 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: and that includes from the FBI and the DJ God 561 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: bless you. This is the Sean Hannity Show. I'm Louis 562 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: Goldmert sitting in Thanks so much for being with us.
