WEBVTT - Brennan Under Investigation...Again

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Our two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred and ninety four

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>one shawns on number if you want to be a

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>part of the program Big News last week. John Brennan,

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>This is an ex post by Congressman Jim Jordan, the

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>House Judiciary Committee Chair. John Brennan lied to Congress today.

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>We referred him to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution,

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and then he linked a letter that he sent to

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the Attorney General, Pam Bondy. We write to refer significant

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>evidence that the former Director of the CIA, John Brennan,

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>knowingly made false statements during his transcribed interview before the

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Committee of the Judiciary on May eleven, twenty twenty three.

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>While testifying, Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>of material fact contradicted by the record established by the

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the CIA. Under

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>eight USC. One thousand and one, A witness commits a

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>crime if he knowingly willfully makes a materially false statement

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of representation with respect to any investigation or review conducted

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>pursuing to the authority of any Committee of Congress. And

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>he goes on to explain a lot of the details.

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>For example, let me go back in time. We'll start

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>in twenty seventeen. Now, if you recall, in twenty sixteen,

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the dirty Russian disinformation dossier was used as the basis

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>of the first visa application warrant. It was unverified and

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 1>we all know unverify a bull and completely debunked by

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>December of that year, twenty sixteen. Here's Brennan in twenty

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>seventeen saying that the dossier wasn't used as the basis

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>for any intelligence community assessment.

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Here's what he said in a house hearing that took place.

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you know if the Bureau who ever, relied on

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 3>the Steel dossier any as part of any court filings, applications, petitions, pleadings.

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 3>I have no awareness did the CIA rely on it?

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:12.679
<v Speaker 5>Why not?

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 6>Because we didn't. It wasn't part of the corpus of

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 6>intelligence information that we had. It was not in any

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 6>way used as a basis for the intel. It's community

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 6>assessment that was done. It was it was not.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's move forward to twenty eighteen. This is a

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>clip of John Brennan saying he was concerned about the

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>veracity of the Steele dossier, but the FBI had an

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>obligation to seek out the truth on it. Here's what

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>he said on Meet the Press with then hosts since departed,

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Chucky Todd, how.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 7>Was the steel Dosia treated it? How did you treat it?

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 7>You said you looked at it in December. I assume

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 7>it's been looked at by It was obviously looked at

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 7>by the FBI. We've now learned they've tried to confirm

0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 7>some of it and have had some success.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 5>Not yet.

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 7>They don't say it's they don't say it's unconfirmed.

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 2>But that's about it.

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 8>Well, there were things in that Dosier that made me

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 8>wonder whether or not they would they were in fact

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 8>accurate and true, and I do think it was up

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 8>to the FBI to see whether or not they could

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 8>verify any of it. I think Jim Comi has said

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 8>that it was contained salacious and unverified information.

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Just because it was unverified didn't mean it wasn't true.

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 8>And if the Russians were involved in something like that

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 8>directed against individuals who are aspiring to the highest office

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 8>in this land, there was an obligational part of the

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 8>FBI to seek out the truth on it.

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Then one more clip again twenty eighteen. This is Brennan

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>saying the Steele dossier didn't play any role in intelligence

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>assessments to Obama or Trump.

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Here listen to this clip.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 7>When did you first learn of the so called Steele

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 7>dosier and what Christopher Steele was doing?

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 8>Well, it was a not a very well kept secret

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 8>among press circles for several months before it came out,

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 8>and it was in late summer of twenty sixteen when

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 8>there were some individuals from the various US news outlets

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 8>who asked me about my familiarity with it, and I

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 8>had heard just snippets about it. I did not know

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 8>what was in there. I did not see it until

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 8>later in that year, I think it was in December,

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 8>but I was unaware of the providence of it as

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 8>well as what was in it. And it did not

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 8>play any role whatsoever in the intelli's community assessments that

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 8>was done that was presented to then President Obama and

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 8>then President elect Trump.

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>If you recall, we now know, thanks to Tulsi Gabberd's

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>declassifications that in fact, that we had career senior intel

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>officials look into the whole question of any Trump Russia

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>collusion and senior career intelligence officials assessed there was none,

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and that was presented, and according to the declassification, it

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>was Obama himself, working with Clapper and Brennan and other people,

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that demanded a new intelligence assessment that ended up concluding

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the exact opposite, and that part of that conclusion was

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>based on the dossier. Jim Jordan, House Judiciary Committee Chair,

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>True or false?

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 9>True. As I said last week, Sean, you're not supposed

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 9>to lie, but you're definitely not supposed to lie when

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 9>you're under oath and you're talking to Congress. And that's

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 9>exactly what it looks like mister Brendon did, because he

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 9>repeated those statements that you played when he was in

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 9>front of us last Congress. He said the dossier played

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 9>no part in the intelligence community assessment, and I pushed

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 9>to not have it in the intelligence community assessment. The

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 9>only problem is, as you pointed out, is when Director

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 9>National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbert declassified the House Intelligence Committee report

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 9>from a few years ago, it said just the opposite.

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 9>In fact, it related a story in there Sean where

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 9>another CI official actually confronted mister Brennan and said, this

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 9>dossier doesn't hold up. There's no underlying intelligence to support it,

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 9>shouldn't put it in the intelligence community assessment that we

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 9>take to President Trump and brief well, then President Electromp

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.559
<v Speaker 9>shouldn't do that. But Brennan response responded by saying, yeah,

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 9>but doesn't it ring true? And I think just showing

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 9>his entire motive his mindset, which was to go get

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 9>President Trump. And then that's exactly what they did. Is

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 9>we've talked about many times. They then went up to

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 9>Trump Tower on January sixth, twenty seventeen, when it was

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 9>President Electromp gave him is what he thinks his defensive briefing,

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.359
<v Speaker 9>his intelligence briefing that you get before you become president.

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 9>And in fact, what they were trying to do is

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 9>set him up and create the predicate for the whole

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 9>Muller investigation and how they were going to try to

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 9>sabotage his entire first term.

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 1>But the reality too is is a true or false

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that in August of twenty sixteen that Bruce or had

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>warned everybody that the dossier's political in nature and nobody

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>should trust it.

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't Brennan aware of it then?

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 1>And number two didn't Brennan himself how to have a

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>meeting in the White House informing Obama that Hillary Clinton's

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>campaign was building up a narrative about Donald Trump and

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Russia as part of a political scheme.

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 9>Yes, exactly right. And they had this meeting also in

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 9>December of sixteen, again between election day and Inauguration Day,

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 9>where they decided to do the new IC assessment, the

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 9>new Intelligence Community Assessment, the new report. And that's the

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 9>one that they put the dossier in. For goodness sake,

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 9>because they go up to Temp Tower and briefing about it.

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 9>Colemy does it himself. So yeah, this all played out

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 9>as part of this effort. And again I think the

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 9>motive is clearly displayed in this the facts that Tulci

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 9>brought forward when she declassified this report, where you have

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.559
<v Speaker 9>this person saying to Brennan, we shouldn't use this dossi

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 9>at all. But his response is, yeah, but doesn't it

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 9>ring true. They wanted to believe it. They wanted to

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 9>believe this garbage document was true. And you're right, Schehn.

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 9>Remember it was the Clinton campaign, through the law firm,

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.239
<v Speaker 9>who then hired the public relationship.

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 2>The law firms Perkins Cooey.

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Perkins Cooey then funnels the money to an OP research firm,

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS then hires Christopher Steele, former MI

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>six agent.

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 9>Correct exactly, a foreigner who writes down all this garbage

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 9>that they used in the ICA. And maybe more importantly,

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 9>when Trey Gowdy the first clip you played was asking

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 9>mister Brinnan the questions he said, did you ever rely

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 9>on this in the court filings? Treys? I think getting

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 9>at this idea. They used the doc date to help

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 9>get defy the warrants, this file and president Toomp's campaign.

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 10>So this is what we put.

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, we know that first PIZE application went in and

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the bulk of information was before the election in October

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of twenty sixteen, and James call me signed not only

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>that one, but the two succeeding ones and there were

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>four total.

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 9>Yep, exactly right. So there's a pattern here. We think

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 9>he lied to when he was under oath, when in

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 9>an open hearing, when Trey was asking questions. We think

0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 9>he also wasn't square with us when we deposed him

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 9>last Congress. And then, of course here's the big irony.

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 9>We were asking these questions last Congress. The context was

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 9>we had brought mister Brennan in to talk to him

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 9>about another lie, which was the fifty one former Intel

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.959
<v Speaker 9>officials who told us in that letter before the twenty

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 9>twenty election that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 9>information operation, when the FBI had to stink in laptop

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 9>and they knew that was garbage. So it's this pattern

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 9>we see from Brennan where he doesn't seem to be

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 9>square with us in Congress or with the American people.

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 9>And that's why we sent the referral, and I put

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 9>it out last week on your show, Sean that I

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 9>don't do this very often. The facts have to be there.

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 9>I mean, it has to be clear to me and

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 9>to our committee that this guy wasn't square with us,

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 9>that this guy was lying to us, and he was

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 9>under open an obligation to tell the truth. Then and

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 9>only then do we send these referrals to the Justice Department.

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 9>But we think it's certainly worth to hear, and that's

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 9>why we sent it. It all began in twenty sixteen

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 9>with the Dottier and this whole Russia collusion issue was

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 9>designed to help Clinton win the election. And then, of

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 9>course when they do the fifty one former intels and

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 9>tell the country that piece of garbage lie that was

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 9>designed to help help Biden win the election. So and then,

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 9>as you say, the lawfair was the course to try

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.199
<v Speaker 9>to keep President Trump from getting back in office. So

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 9>it was always political. But then what happened back in

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 9>sixteen between again election day and inauguration day is they said, Wow,

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 9>we didn't stop him. He won the race. Now let's

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 9>use the dossier. Now let's lose the use the Russian

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 9>hoax as a way to undermine President Trump. The question

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 9>that you ask, I think is the central question. This

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 9>is a call for the Justice Department. Was there a conspiracy?

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 9>Can they prove there was a conspiracy to stop him

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 9>from winning and then undermine his first term and then

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 9>prevent him from winning re election? Can you can you

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 9>just prove all that? That's the question for Attorney General

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 9>bond the Deputy Attorney General Blanche and the team at

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 9>the Justice Department. What we know is what we've referred

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 9>John Brennan.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Well were a conservative attorney Mike Davis an informal advisor.

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>According to reports of the Attorney General, Pam Bondi is

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>claiming now that this grand jury will consider whether to

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 1>bring criminal charges against top Democratic figures that he claims

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>have colluded over the last decade to impede Trump, starting

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>with this dirty Russian disinformation dossier, and he is taking

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>it all the way through the pre bunking of the

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>very real Hunter Biden laptop. They knew it was going

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to be dropped because they knew that Rudy Giuliani's then attorney,

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Bob Costello, had a copy of it. They had verified

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>its authenticity. In March of twenty twenty, they were meeting

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.720
<v Speaker 1>weekly with big tech court companies, warning them that maybe

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>victims of a Russian disinformation campaign in twenty twenty, knowing

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 1>that the laptop was real, and then when it finally

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>came out in the New York Post, they wouldn't tell

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.239
<v Speaker 1>those companies is this true or not true, ultimately resulting

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>in the suppression of that information prior to an election

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that I think would have had a great impact on it,

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and then lawf air and weaponization from twenty twenty to

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four to make Trump unelectable, you know, in

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four.

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, no, Look, I think I think you've described it

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 9>exactly what it is. I saw Mike Davis's report from

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 9>what he had said. I think over the weekend, we'll

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 9>just have to see that this is again, this is

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 9>a call for the Attorney General if they think the

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 9>facts are there and there are a lot of good

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 9>facts that you just pointed out, and the facts that

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 9>we've discovered in our committee and we've begain referred to

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 9>refer them to the Justice Department. We'll just have to see.

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 9>But I think it's a compelling case. They were certainly

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 9>out to get President Trump for the last nine years.

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, quick break right back more with Congressman Jim Jordan,

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee in Congress. Will continue.

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll get to your calls on the other side today.

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Give us a call eight hundred and nine to one,

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Sean if you want to be a part of this

0:12:51.280 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>program as we continue.

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Entered daining Americans, Go, didn go.

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 11>Sean Hannity is on it down.

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 2>How do we continue now?

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Let me

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>ask this question, how did Camy get off the hook?

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>I guess the statute of limitations have run out unless

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>there's a grand conspiracy charge.

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 2>But call mey.

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>You know signed three of the four PISA warrants. That's

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 1>a nine month period of time. My understanding is Christopher

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Steele was kind of booted in December of twenty sixteen

0:13:55.600 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>because they realized that the dossier was was garbed badge

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and bar talk, and so he was out, but call

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 1>me kept still kept using it for two more PISO

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>applications and then a third one side by Rob Rosenstein

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>at the time. The fourth one and are they not

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 1>by law supposed to go to the court and say

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that the information provided to them to acquire the the

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>PISA app PISO warrant, uh, that false information was given

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to the court and then give the court a chance

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to you know, rescind that.

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, they are, they're they're supposed to sign and sign on,

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 9>sign on and say this is accurate information. The only

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 9>one who got in trouble was the guy who actually

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 9>changed information. He changed the contents of an email. Is

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 9>Kevin's clientsmith. But he basically got a slap on the wrist.

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 9>Remember during the when this when we all start to

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 9>figure this out, and it was you and it was

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 9>some of us in Congress and a handful of people

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 9>started to dig into this. It took us a while

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 9>to get all the facts and get get everything figured out,

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 9>and by the time we did, then you then you

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 9>you get into the Biden administration because of you know,

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 9>the if you want to Intel letter and everything else

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 9>and what happened in that campaign, and of course the

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 9>Garland Justice Department and the Biden administration aren't going to

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 9>prosecute anyone. And so now here we are eight years later,

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 9>and we have an attorney general, we have an administration

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 9>who's saying we're going to hold people accountable who did

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 9>things wrong. Now the left says we're engaging in the

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 9>very law fair they engaged, and that's it's not true.

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 9>We're trying to hold people accountable. So this kind of

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 9>garbage doesn't happen in the future. So we will just

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 9>have to see. But the reason Komi wasn't held accountable

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 9>center is it because of the Garland ray. The Garland

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 9>Justice Department.

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 1>In the ray at Heugh was protected and the statute

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>of limitations ran out unless there's a grand conspiracy charge

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 1>exactly exactly.

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 9>Now with Brennan, there's the statute of limitations on him

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 9>lying eighteen USC.

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 2>One thousand and one.

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 9>Lying to Congress has not run out because he just

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 9>testified in front of us two years ago, so that's

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 9>a five year statute of limitation. So there's certainly that charge.

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 9>But will that be part of a bigger, broader conspiracy charge.

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 9>That's up to the Attorney General.

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>All right, he is the chairman of the very important

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>House Judiciary Committee. Chairman Jim Jordan is with us. We'll

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>stay focused.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 2>And dialed in.

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I spent too many years of my life unpeeling every

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 1>layer of that onion with a small ensemble cast you included.

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, We appreciate your time. Jim Jordan, Thank you, sir,

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 12>All Right.

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Look, we have maybe the longest government shutdown in history

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>that we're facing.

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 2>It's impacting a lot of people.

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>But more importantly, you still have the Biden Harris hangover,

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 1>which is a bad economy, which has put a lot

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of people in a bad spot, and they're putting bare

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>necessities on high interest credit cards, and you got to

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.080

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.040
<v Speaker 2>I have lived my entire career a.

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 13>Life of service, and it's in my bones, and there

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 13>are many ways to serve. I've not decided yet what

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 13>I will do in the future beyond what I am

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:33.359
<v Speaker 13>doing right now.

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 1>That should scare every Democrat. I don't think she's electable

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 1>my own opinion, no surprise. Gavin Newsom United Socialists Utopia

0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of California. He was on the All the Smoke podcasts.

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>We heard of All the Smoke podcasts. I didn't hear

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:55.919
<v Speaker 1>that one, but anyway, said, Republicans are putting America to

0:18:56.000 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a pre nineteen sixties world that anti woke, is anti black.

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Listen to this.

0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 4>They're literally putting American reverse, I mean quite literally to

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 4>a pre nineteen sixties world. You got the Supreme Court

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 4>talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act, and

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 4>that's very real. That may likely happen in just a

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 4>matter of months. I mean, they're rewriting history, censory historical facts,

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 4>it's a unbelievable moment. All this anti woke stuff is

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 4>just anti black period, full stop. All the crtesg DEI stuff,

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 4>that's all this is. It's this great purge and it's

0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.119
<v Speaker 4>happening in real time. And I'm just I'm sitting here

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like, you know, luckily i'm governor, but

0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 4>like we're not doing enough. We're not calling this out,

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 4>We're not drawing a line here.

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>And he goes on to describe raising himself and hustling

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to pay bills when he had a very privileged upbringing,

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of laughable. He blasts trump ice raids

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and says it calls it terror on the streets of America,

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>and then he admitted the it's not exactly a secret

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 1>that he himself has presidential ambitions and admits finally for

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the first time, here's what he said.

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 14>ELMREI say after the twenty twenty six midterms, you're going

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 14>to give it serious thought.

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd be lying.

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 4>Otherwise I'd just be lying, and I can't do that.

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Governor.

0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 14>You have long said that if you ever run for

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 14>the White House, you need a compelling why a reason

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.959
<v Speaker 14>are you moving closer to figuring out your own why

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:39.960
<v Speaker 14>and your own decision.

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and he's just said to you compelling why you

0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 4>can endure anyhow, And so I don't think. I think

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 4>the biggest challenge for anyone who runs for any office

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 4>is people see right through you. If you don't have that,

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 4>why you're doing it for the wrong reasons. And so look, well,

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 4>will that face will determine.

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 14>That you certainly seem to like on the ground in

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 14>South Carolina? I have to say that, Senior Uplos, you

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 14>were having a good time.

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.639
<v Speaker 4>I happen to and thank god, I'm in the right business.

0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.879
<v Speaker 4>I love people, actually love people.

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh love people. That's why he's running. All right.

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 1>This will be the question America will need to answer.

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you want the United States to be California? Do

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you want the highest income taxes in the country, Because

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:30.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what he's instituted, and that's what the current state

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>of California is. Poverty rate highest in the nation, schools

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>mostly the worst in the entire country, highest sales taxes,

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>highest gas taxes, more money for illegals than any other

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:50.199
<v Speaker 1>single state, sanctuary state, and city policies galore. Does he

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.919
<v Speaker 1>think that that will help him win a general election.

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.640
<v Speaker 1>May help him in a primary, but will it help

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 1>him win a general election. We'll start getting serious about

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>this when the time matters, but right now is not

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the right time. All right, let's get to our busy phones.

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Andrew is in the great state of Tennessee. Andrew, how

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>are you glad you called Happy Monday? If there is

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 1>such a thing.

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 12>Hey, quick, idea for your listeners out there. Regarding the

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:19.439
<v Speaker 12>ice trackers that the Democrats are trying to put together,

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 12>a really easy way to defeat that is, we need

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 12>to just fill it with garbage reports. So across the

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:29.600
<v Speaker 12>country the ice tracker happens, just start reporting stuff. It'll

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 12>make it unusable. Another way that that could be done

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:37.399
<v Speaker 12>faster if someone out there has the skills to code

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 12>it up. You know, you could have it automated and

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 12>just have it filent reports all the time.

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I actually think that's something probably ICE should be

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:48.879
<v Speaker 1>doing itself if they have to the fact that this

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>is even allowed, I mean, think of what's happening here.

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 2>What Democrats are supporting.

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 1>They are supporting removing the element of surprise, which then

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:02.280
<v Speaker 1>does what what happened in that moment? That means they

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:06.159
<v Speaker 1>they're basically putting a target on the backs and the

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:10.480
<v Speaker 1>foreheads of ICE agents and making their job more dangerous

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and more difficult. And anybody that supports this, as far

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>as I'm concerned, if and when something happens to these

0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 1>ICE agents, and I pray to God it doesn't, but

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:26.719
<v Speaker 1>they're they're exponentially, in my opinion, they are increasing the

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:30.440
<v Speaker 1>odds that somebody is going to get either seriously hurt

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:34.879
<v Speaker 1>or killed. And this is a very dangerous practice. And

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.200
<v Speaker 1>if that's not aiding and a betting law breaking, I

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know what is. And they're institutionalizing it. Yeah, you know,

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see what happens. Andrew, good call, appreciate it.

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Wisconsin. Mike next on the Sean Hannity Show.

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:52.640
<v Speaker 5>What's up, Mike, Hey, Shah, pleasure to get to talk

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 5>to you today. I've got a question. I wish I

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:57.720
<v Speaker 5>could have gotten it to you before Jim Jordan got away.

0:23:58.240 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 10>But what's up.

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:03.199
<v Speaker 5>I've got a complain. Both Republicans and the Democrats have

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 5>blown it with this shutdown because they have not passed

0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 5>a budget. If they would have passed the budget, we

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 5>would be in the twenty seventh day of our new

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 5>fiscal year. But they have not passed the budget since

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 5>one budget since nineteen sixty seven. That was in nineteen

0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 5>ninety six under Bill Clinton, and they blew that one

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:26.919
<v Speaker 5>up by one hundred and two billion dollars.

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Explain to me how again, unless you nuke the filibuster,

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Explain to me how Republicans they do have a majority,

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 1>but they don't have that magic number sixty. How do

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Republicans get to that number. They would need democratic they

0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 1>would need democratic support. They're not going to get it

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>in this part hyper partisan environment we live in.

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:51.439
<v Speaker 2>So I agree with you.

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd prefer to return to regular order, but it's under

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the current rules it's impossible.

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:01.879
<v Speaker 5>The budgeting process should where if they don't come up

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:05.640
<v Speaker 5>with a budget as they are required constitutionally required to do,

0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 5>they stay in Congress until they get a budget done.

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but you could stay there till the cows come home.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you really think that, under Chucky Schumer and these

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>radical Democrats, that the Senate is going to ultimately approve

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>any budget Republicans put forward.

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I doubt it.

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Well, I'm picking on Congress as a holes for

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 5>the last sixty years.

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm granted the system's atrocious. Granted they should they

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.719
<v Speaker 1>should return to regular order. Granted they should be passing

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:40.640
<v Speaker 1>their budgets on time, and they're not. And the systems

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:43.400
<v Speaker 1>designed that they can't get it done, especially in the.

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Environment we're living in. I wish I want the same

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:46.439
<v Speaker 2>thing you do.

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I wish we could get the media. I think

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 5>yourself and everybody else in the media needs to hold

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 5>them accountable and put their feet to the fire about.

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing I can do or say that's going to

0:25:57.440 --> 0:26:00.080
<v Speaker 1>convince a single Democrat besides John.

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Betterman to do the right thing correct.

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Nothing, There's no, there's no there's no rational discussion with

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 1>these people. They've lost their their minds, yes they have.

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 5>But if all the voters, if we put the subject

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 5>out there enough where both sides get a hold of it,

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:19.159
<v Speaker 5>where Democrats start holding their own leaders accountable, then maybe

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 5>something will get done.

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, then why wouldn't they go along with a clean

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>cr which Chuck Schumer has supported his entire you know,

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>political career, but now was giving into the radical left

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:29.639
<v Speaker 1>in his party.

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:30.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 5>Again, he's trying to blame it on the Republicans, and

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 5>the Republicans are pointing their fingers chuck as they should be.

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean, look, I get it now. Look

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot of news on this, and I

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 1>went through it earlier, and I can just tell you

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 1>the Schumer shut down. You know, I don't see there's

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be an end in sight, and I don't.

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why. For a lot of different reasons.

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have said that it's there. They know, they know

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>it's going to impact and hurt poor people, but they're

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:00.680
<v Speaker 1>doing it anyway because they hate Trump and they don't

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:04.159
<v Speaker 1>want to give up their quote leverage. And the Democratic

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Party is in this doom, a spiral and loop if

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you will, and they're on the losing side.

0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:11.439
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Even for example, their argument about healthcare, it's based on lies.

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:19.119
<v Speaker 1>If you strip away the lies about Obamacare subsidies that

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>are going to expire this year, Democrats' main excuse for

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.120
<v Speaker 1>shutting down the government. What they're not telling you is

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:31.159
<v Speaker 1>that the Obamacare subsidies are already sending premium soaring and

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:35.200
<v Speaker 1>expected to rise one six hundred and sixty five dollars,

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:39.119
<v Speaker 1>or twenty percent on average, according to a Paragon Health

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Institute study. If you have the subsidies that only amounts

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:49.399
<v Speaker 1>for four percent of that money. That's it, and Democrats

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:52.359
<v Speaker 1>are lying when they say that. But Democrats, you know,

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>they're now demanding the subsidy. They're demanding one point five

<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars the only you know, right now you have

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>two Democrats that Fetterman and one other one that have said,

<v Speaker 1>you know, they're losing, you know, Jake Tapper, fake Jake

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:10.359

<v Speaker 1>go hungry. Why they're using you know, we played it

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:16.960

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 1>leverage point Hakeem Jefferies dismissing leverage. Talk is food security.

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, SNAP programs and SNAP benefits may be halted

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 1>because of this, and the Agriculture Department posted a stunning

0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>notice that these these subsidies are ending. The world's largest

0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>federal workers union just demanded Chuck Schumer and Democrats reopen

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the government. They're the ones keeping it closed. The American

0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Federation of Government Employees President, it's time to pass the

<v Speaker 1>clean cr and end the shutdown.

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>But they're not doing it anyway.

<v Speaker 1>If you want to be a part of the program

<v Speaker 1>as we roll along this month, day the left wants

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to silence Hannity, don't let it happen.

<v Speaker 1>Three hours every day at three pm.

<v Speaker 11>This is the Sean Hannity Show.

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, back to our busy phones. Eight hundred and

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:52.160
<v Speaker 1>ninety four one, Shawn is our number. Mike in Canada, I.

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 10>Wanted to discuss the Ontario provincial ad that's been run

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:58.520
<v Speaker 10>on USTv that I know that you've seen relating to

0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 10>you Ronald reagae in his stance on trade, and.

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I did, and President Trump got a little pissed off

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>about it because it's out of context with where we

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 1>are today.

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>But what's your point, okay?

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 10>Well, the issue that he described when he went online

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 10>late at night to tireraide and say that the ad

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 10>was fake, there's nothing sake to that ad. The Ronald

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 10>Reagan speech in nineteen eighty seven, Ran, I don't know

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 10>between five and six minutes. I watched it on YouTube

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 10>and the gist of what Reagan was trying to teut

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 10>at that time had nothing to do with protectionism. He

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 10>was embracing free trade, he was embracing capitalism. He was

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:40.600
<v Speaker 10>embracing the idea that everybody wins. You can increase the

0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 10>amount of you know, commerce, said you conduct as opposed

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 10>to putting limits on it. Protectionism kills jobs.

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:48.600
<v Speaker 2>He raised me, I hate to tell.

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 1>You, with all due respect to our friends in Canada,

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think we should be best friends. I like

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:54.760
<v Speaker 1>our friends in Canada. I'm glad you got rid of

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 1>little Justin, but you could still do a little better.

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 1>We're putting all that aside. Canada put massive tariffs on

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 1>American farmers, American dairy products, on a lot of American

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 1>meat and poultry and cheese and dairy and milk. You

0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 1>guys put that on us, and it's been on us

0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. So if we were going to

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.200
<v Speaker 1>be honest about it, you started this fight. Now somebody

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:23.480
<v Speaker 1>is in office that's fighting back, and you guys don't

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>like it. Get your own government to embrace what you're

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:31.800
<v Speaker 1>demanding that we embrace, and that's free and fair trade,

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 1>and you'll have a much better time insist.

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 10>That obviously that the people conduct themselves a little bit

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 10>of dignity here to go.

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you're not acknowledging your country started this trade war.

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Canada started it, not the US.

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 10>Nineteen eighty seven, we approached the United States at the time,

0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 10>Brian wrote, mulroney approached Ronald Reagan about the concept debate.

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:56.200
<v Speaker 10>Can we find a way to.

0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 1>The last fifteen or twenty years? Ryan Moroney was great,

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe one of your best prime ministers ever. I loved him,

0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I knew him. Okay, God rest his soul. He was

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 1>a great guy. But you know what, take a look

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 1>at Canada's policies towards the US over these years and

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 1>how much how much you put on us.

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I got a roll though. Thank you for being with us.
