1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: the Shawan Hannity radio show podcast A right glad you

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: with us one Shawn Tolfrey telephone number if you want

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: to be a part of this six dravaganza. Where is this?

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: According to the latest zagby Pole, a landslide majority of

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: people on the left now say that they are ashamed

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: of America. Wow, fifty of all voters say they're proud

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: of the United States, while the third say they're ashamed

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: and not sure how they feel. All right, whopping of

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: liberals say they're ashamed of America. We'll just thirty we're

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: proud of America. Three quarters of Republicans are proud of

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: the United States. Only six percent of shame of Democrats. Um,

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is all tied to Donald Trump and

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: hating Trump and Trump obsession, etcetera, etcetera. That's what I'm

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: thinking it's all about. And and I get it, I

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: understand it. Of those people just cannot get over the fact,

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of them, even on the

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Republican side, they just can't get over the fact that

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump won. They can't um a lot of news today.

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: I want to get into this. Some great, great good

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: columns out there that we're gonna be delving into here,

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: not the least of which is you know, I've read

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: this on the air yesterday, and the more I've had

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: time to think about it, the more I realized just

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: how profound this is. So you have Senator Chuck Rassley

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: and Senator Lindsey Graham questioning and sending a list of questions.

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: I read them yesterday, I won't do it today for

28
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: the former National Security Advisor Susan Rice regarding what they

29
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: are flagging as an unusual email that she sent to herself,

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: and it was sent on Trump's inauguration day, just just

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: literally minutes before she departed the White House for the

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: last time. And we have Grassley's the Senate Judiciary Committee Chair, Graham,

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism.

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: They release a statement and the letter they wrote to

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Rice outlining the concerns of their email her email as

36
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: it relates to the Senators or the Senate's probe in

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: Russian interference. Now. They both say they received the email

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: in question as a result of a request from to

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: the National Archives for records of meetings between Obama and

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: then FBI Director James Comey, And the email that Rice

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: sent to herself was January. Now Donald J. Trump was

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: sworn into office just afternoon. She sent this to herself

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: at twelve fifteen, and it seems to document a meeting

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: that she had just attended with then President Obama, FBI

45
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: Director James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates two weeks before,

46
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: on January five. So they're talking about a January fifth meeting.

47
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: And Rice's note reads as follows on January five, follow

48
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: again this, but she's writing it eleven fifteen day years later,

49
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: just as she's leaving the White House for the last time.

50
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: On January five, following a briefing by I C leadership

51
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: on Russian hacking during the presidential election, Obama had a

52
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: brief follow on conversation with the FBI Director Jim Comey,

53
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General Sally Aids in the Oval office. Vice

54
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: President Biden and I were also president. That meeting reportedly

55
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: included a discussion of the Steel dossier and the FBI's

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: investigation of its claims, and President Obama began the conversation

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect

58
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: of this issue is handled by the intelligence and law

59
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: enforcement communities by the book. Why would she say that now?

60
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: The President stress that he is not asking about initiating

61
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated

62
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it

63
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: normally would by the book. From a national security perspective, however,

64
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Obama said he wants to be sure as we engage

65
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if

66
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: there is any reason that we cannot share information fully

67
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: as it relates to Russia. A portion of the email

68
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: remains classified. The correspondence continues reading the President asked come

69
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: to inform him if anything changes in the next few

70
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: weeks that should affect how we should share classified information

71
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: with the incoming team. Remember, they made those rules changes

72
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: just as they were going out the door. I wonder

73
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: if that's impacting this in any ways, thought to self,

74
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: and maybe I'll send myself an email and grass Lee

75
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: and Graham said in their statement that they found it

76
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: odd that Rice felt it was necessary to send to herself. Yeah,

77
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: it is odd. That is the quintessential c y a

78
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: such an unusual email purporting a document of conversation with

79
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: them President Obama and his interactions with the be I

80
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: regarding the Trump Russia investigation in her final hours as

81
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: a member of the Obama administration. Now, grass Lee and

82
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: Graham suggests that despite Rice's claim that Obama had told

83
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: call me to proceed quote by the book, a lot

84
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: of questions now have arisen about the conduct of FBI officials,

85
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: the d o J, the State Department in the course

86
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: of the investigation. Why would she feel the need to

87
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: do this? And grass Lee and Graham sent, right, So

88
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: a list of questions. It's gonna be interesting to see

89
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: where that goes. And it's gonna be interesting to see

90
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: if anything else has written about what happened on January five?

91
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Is it getting very is it getting more odd and

92
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: more strange by the moment? I gotta tell you, um

93
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: now we have Now this is another interesting point. This

94
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: is in the political So two weeks before he leaves office,

95
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Obama's telling senior members of the administration that he wanted

96
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: to keep then President elect Trump's transition team in the

97
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: dark about details of the FBI's Russia Gate investigation. That

98
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: kind of contradicts what Rice is writing herself that that

99
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: he didn't want to get involved in anything involving law

100
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: enforcement with this anyway that would maximize the bureau's ability

101
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: to gather evidence that could lead to the prosecution of

102
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: top Trump Bates, and even Trump himself. You're beginning to

103
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: think of trappis set here, don't you. Anyway? Former President

104
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: Obama suggested in January that information related to a federal

105
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: probe of Russia election interference might have to be withheld

106
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: from AIDS to then President elect Donald Trump. According to

107
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: an internal White House email released Monday by these two

108
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: GOP senators, and the warning Obama delivered was on January five.

109
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: This is the conversation that Rice is now chronicling on

110
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: the moment before she leaves office. She must feel very

111
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: sensitive about it, and the President stressed he's not asking

112
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective.

113
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: From a national security perspective, Obama said he wants to

114
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: be sure as they engage with the incoming team, we

115
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: are mindful to ascertain if there's any reason that we

116
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia. That's

117
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: kind of unclear what the officials might have said in response,

118
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: the grass Lee Graham are saying here that part of

119
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: this is classified. But the passage after that states that

120
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: Obama asked Comey to let him know if anything changes,

121
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: Well he not the president. Well why would Comey tell

122
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: him after he left office? Now, in this press release

123
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: last week, remember we learned that the FBI love birds

124
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Peter Struck in Lisa Page had prepp then FBI Director

125
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 1: Comey on details of the Russia Gate investigation, with Struck

126
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: telling Page that the president quote wants to know everything

127
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: we're doing. And yesterday we found out that comes last

128
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: briefing with Obama aluded this, you know, notorious Christopher Steele

129
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: Golden Showers dossier, and that revelation was included. But this

130
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: letter sent by grass Lee and Graham to Susan Rice,

131
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is something here that I can't

132
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: put my hand on yet put my finger on, but

133
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm looking. It's all happening in a very very just

134
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: little bits and pieces. Some of you have complained. My

135
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: good friend Michael Myers will write me occasion when do

136
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: we get to the end zone? When did we find

137
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: I said, well, you're appeeling layers of an onion. It

138
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: doesn't happen overnight. Now, this raises serious questions about what

139
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: happened at that January five meeting and who knew what,

140
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: when and where, and what did they know and when

141
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: did they know? It was watching some of the testimony

142
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: today by the FBI director and and the CIA director

143
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: and a bunch of others before the Senate Intelligence Committee,

144
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: and Christopher Ray is going to test testify before them

145
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: as the growing conflicts between the White House. But they're

146
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: going into close session, and they kept saying over and

147
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: over again, that's probably something we'll speak of later. We'll

148
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: probably talk about that later. We'll probably talk more later,

149
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: which is a little bit frustrating if you actually want

150
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: answers now Byron York is gonna join us today, and

151
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: he points out that sources for Comey's Flynn exoneration where

152
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: Peter King and Trey Goudy, So we now can corroborate

153
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: his bombshell report that it will explain later in the

154
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: program that they disgraced FBI Director James Comey told Congress

155
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: behind closed doors that he didn't think General Flynn had lied,

156
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: and that others in the FBI didn't think he lied. Well,

157
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: then it raises the question, why would General Flynn ever

158
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: plead guilty to lying to the FBI, which is a crime.

159
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the most fascinating thing. Why would they?

160
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: Whyever would he do that? Is this a case where

161
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: there was a threat of prosecution of his family? You know,

162
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: they've had to had to be your reason if they

163
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: didn't think that he had lied there. I want to

164
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: find out what that's all about. There's a great piece

165
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: by Rowan Scarborough today in the Washington Times and it's

166
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: the dossier's ten core collusion accusations remaining unverified twenty months later.

167
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: You know, we forget about you know what's in the

168
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: dossier for crying out loud. We just know that it's

169
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: unverified and sallacious and full of lies. And he actually

170
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: took the time to go through all of this, and

171
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: he you know, when you look at the whole dossier

172
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: and how that became the predicate for a warrant and

173
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: the foundation for a warrant. And they didn't tell the

174
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: FISA Court judge that it was bought and paid for

175
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: by the opposition political campaign. They didn't tell the FISA

176
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Court judge that it was not verified you know, for

177
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: the ongoing special counsel into the Trump Russia election coordination,

178
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: it's helpful to separate what counts, because I don't think

179
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: without any dossier ever have a Robert Mueller here. But

180
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: it was funded by Hillary in the d n C.

181
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: And they sent it through the same law firm. And

182
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: it's bad enough that they were going to use those lies, unverified,

183
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: salacious lies in part from the Russian government, according to

184
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: the Grassy Graham memo that came out last week. Anyway,

185
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: the dossier I think takes on even more importance. Anyway,

186
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: So they identified ten cores collusion accusations that the Trump

187
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: campaign launched an extensive conspiracy with the Kremlin to interfere

188
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: with the presidential election. To date, no public verification verification

189
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: that Trump, for decades developer of tall buildings, maintained an

190
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: eight year relationship of give and take with Russian intelligence

191
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: to date, no public verification that Trump and senior campaign

192
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: aids actively supported the Russian hacking of the Democratic Party

193
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: computers to steal and release stolen emails. No public verification

194
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,479
Speaker 1: that Carter Page and campaign manager Paul Manaphor personally conspired

195
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: with Moscow to hack the Democratic Computers when the hacking

196
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: began in Tift. Neither man was associated with the Trump campaign.

197
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: Both deny the charge. Page testified under oath that he

198
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: had never met or spoken with Manaphort, so we have

199
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: no public verification on that Darsier part or that page

200
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: in Annapolis, grad energy investor and former resident of Moscow

201
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: traveled to that city in early July to deliver a

202
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: speech at the university. Dasier says he met with two

203
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: top Kremlin Kremlin operatives that's discussed bribes and working to

204
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: lift economic sanctions. Page testified under oath he had never

205
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: met or spoken with either of them, and he filed

206
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: libel suits. Anyway, bottom line is there's no verification of

207
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: any of it. But that's what was paid for, and

208
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 1: that was what was used as the basis for a

209
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: fiser warrant and never thought in my lifetime, I just

210
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: really roll along. Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred nine four one, Shawn,

211
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the problem.

212
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people are asking, all right, let me go.

213
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: This is a great question. Arnold and Georgia. Arnold, how

214
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: are you welcome to the program. I'm glad you called listen.

215
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: Uh my theory, Well, this is what happened to me.

216
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: The government can keep you going as long as they

217
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: want to until you're completely broke, whether you're guilty or not.

218
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: And I've been in that position. I know you're talking about.

219
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: They have endless streams of money, have an endless supply

220
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: of money, and they can always postpone your court date. Listen.

221
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: I know people that have been literally sent into bankruptcy

222
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: because of lawsuits, legal actions against them, whatever I mean.

223
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: And and it does raise actually a fair question. Is

224
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: there a two tier justice system between those that can

225
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: afford the expensive lawyers and those that can Well, there

226
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: definitely is. I had come into bankruptcy thinking, if you're

227
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: if I'm not guilty, I have nothing to lose and

228
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: everything will come back. But it doesn't work that way. Well,

229
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: I've seen this happen in numerous instances what you're describing.

230
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: And so in other words, all right, you mean I'll

231
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: get I'll get away with this, is it, I'll make

232
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: it go away? Yeah, people do that all the time.

233
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: You know, if people get sued all the time and

234
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: they give in the lawsuits that way, how much? All right,

235
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: it's a grand versus you know, a half a million dollars,

236
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, ten years later and all the aggravation that

237
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: goes with it. My case, it was a it was

238
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: a case of losing part of my life, you know,

239
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: being sent away. What did you do? No matter what?

240
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: So you didn't have the money for the attorneys, you know,

241
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: I didn't. I had some money for the attorneys, and

242
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: I got some from my parents also, and I was

243
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: highly played, you know, agent for as far as the

244
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: government work. But there's just nothing that you can do

245
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: about it. M hmm. And it was the same as

246
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: General Flynn. Um. I don't know what the reasons are

247
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: I have. I'm not sure if I suspect something else

248
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: is behind the General Flint thing. They don't. If it's

249
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: not necessarily General Flynn that they wanted, it could be

250
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: someone else that like in my case, they wanted someone else,

251
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: And I wasn't gonna say anything about it. I mean,

252
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: even though they weren't guilty either, you don't want to

253
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: involve them because it's just you don't just be going

254
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: around in circles. Yeah, uh, I don't look, assuming you're innocent.

255
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. I

256
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. But I will tell you this,

257
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: We've had a year worth of a media that's hysterical

258
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: and unhinged and conspiracy theories one after another and no

259
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: evidence at all. But we have evidence in the issues

260
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: we've been covering, and a lot of it will continue.

261
00:15:50,200 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: On the other side. Information download Sean Hannity and the

262
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: breaking news you might have missed today. That's Sean's Insider Information.

263
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: Hannity is on right now, alright now, till the top

264
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: of the Sean if you want to be a part

265
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: of the program. There's a lot of news out There's

266
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: so much like happening all at one time. It's pretty amazing. Um.

267
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: You know, I as I read the news every damn

268
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: wondering at what point is this all like information overload

269
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: for people? And then it gets to be too much

270
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: and people can't understand that there's different things going on.

271
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: For example, Um, you've got a bombshell email here with

272
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Susan Rice suggesting Comy may have misled Congress about meetings

273
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: with Obama on and Russian hacking. That's to every other

274
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: detail that we've given you. Then you got comey the

275
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: FBI agents didn't think Flynn lied. Then yeah. Now we

276
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: started asking, well, why did Flynn agree to a plea

277
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: deal that said that he lied to the FBI. Then

278
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: we're not even talking about I think the main crux

279
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: of that, which is, all right, he was supposedly talking

280
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: to his soon to be counterpart because he was going

281
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: to be the n s A director and that would

282
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: be a normal process for any incoming person in that position.

283
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: And then of course the intelligence community they did nothing

284
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: wrong by picking up Russia is a hostile state against

285
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: the United States, so they picked up the phone call.

286
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: But then the normal practices of minimization of an American

287
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: that they weren't practiced in that particular case, they didn't minimize.

288
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: They didn't and they unmasked Michael Flynn, and then they

289
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: leaked for intelligence. Then they had a full transcript of

290
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: everything that was said, and they go in and they

291
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: interview him. Well, that's like a perjury trap with illegally

292
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: obtained information, and I don't I don't know why Michael Flynn.

293
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: General Flynn went along with that, and I suspect they said, well,

294
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: we'll probably go after you and your family and your

295
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: businesses for the last twenty years and and either take

296
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: this deal it's the best deal you're gonna get her.

297
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: Forget it. And that happens too, Susan Rice memo implicating Obama.

298
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: He said, to do it by the book. That is

299
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: the strangest email. Note to self, we did nothing wrong.

300
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: Note to self, we are following by the book. That's

301
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: pretty odd. It's one of the more bizarre things i've

302
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: i've actually ever heard. Now we have Joe Degenneva is

303
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: out there. He's talking about the FISA memo. He said,

304
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: we're gonna see the Democratic memo. It's gonna be heavily

305
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: edited by the FBI and the Department of Justice and

306
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: the c i A. And he said the most important

307
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: part of the story is that Odd Rosenstein and Christopher

308
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Ray wrote a letter to the White House Council Don

309
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: McGann that they could not agree to the publication of

310
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: the Shift memo because it contained national security and law

311
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: enforcement concerns. Now, if you listen to the media, they're

312
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: telling you, oh, no, President Trump is the one that

313
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: said no to this. No, it actually wasn't President Trump.

314
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: It was the FBI and the Department of Justice saying

315
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: no to releasing the memo. And the most important part

316
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: of that letter is when it says law enforcement concerns, well,

317
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: that means that there's a criminal investigation under day underway,

318
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: and release of some information in the memo by Schiff,

319
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: you know, in some capacity, would impact some investigation. I

320
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: wonder who they're investigating. The answer is pretty clear, because

321
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: they're investigating the people at the FBI and the d

322
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: o J who provided false information to the fis accord

323
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: over a number of years. Here four separate times every

324
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: ninety days, you gotta redo this more, this warrant, four

325
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: separate times. We got a story out today BuzzFeed. If

326
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: you remember as apparently working with others, remember they released

327
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: the the dossier contents great pieces I mentioned in the

328
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: last half hour by Rowan Scarborough. None of it verified zip,

329
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: none of it. But apparently there's been six months a

330
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: secret mission to corroborate various claims in the Trump Russia

331
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: dossier that was assembled by Christopher Steele. So that's that's

332
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to watch others now try and corroborate.

333
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: I wander that I think they're still looking for videos

334
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: of hookers in the rich Carlton in Moscow urinating on

335
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: a bed. Uh Cody Sheer there's a report on Breitbart

336
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: Today is scouring Europe for the fabled Trump Pepe tape.

337
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: I didn't make that up, it says Cody Sheriff. Shadowy

338
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: former tabloid journalists long been closely associate it with various

339
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: Clinton scandals, traveling across Europe for more than six months

340
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: in an effort to secure purported evidence of compromising material

341
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: possessed by the Russians related to President Donald Trump. I

342
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: guess the next thing we're gonna have is photos shopped,

343
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, pictures of Donald Trump. Ah, see there it is.

344
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the tax returns. We've found them anyway,

345
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: so apparently they're still looking for them. And then, of

346
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: course we have the issue of Sid Blumenthal. What was

347
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: his what was his role in all of this? You

348
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: know now that we have wanted admission that a Clinton associate,

349
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Wiener is an op ed that he published last

350
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: week in the Washington Post top State Department officials served

351
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: under former President Obama administration, publicly confirming he passed on

352
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: information from Clinton operatives to the British by Christopher Steele

353
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: that was put in the dossier that got the what

354
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: Visor warrant Anyway, he's a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of

355
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: State for International law enforcement, he wrote. He wrote that

356
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: he had a friendly relationship with Steele, and then he

357
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: goes on to say that, you know, Steal's dossier had

358
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: all this information and so many sensational claims. But anyway,

359
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: more importantly, Fox News reports that former Secretary of State

360
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's twenty sixteen campaign and the d n C

361
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: retained Fusion GPS through that d C law firms Perkins

362
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: uh Cooy's I think it's what it's called. They paid

363
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: this law firm upwards of maybe twelve million dollars. It's

364
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: unclear exactly how much money went to the dossier. And anyway,

365
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: Wayner writes in this op ed in the Post that

366
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: he served in the State Department in the nineties before

367
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: leaving for private practice. He met Steele. They became friends

368
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, and in when Weiner returned

369
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: to the State Department, he wrote that he began passing

370
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: on more than a hundred of Steels reports or passing

371
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: them on with Russian experts at the State Department over

372
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: two year span. Pretty interesting. And then he also said

373
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: he met with Steele in the summer seen to review

374
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: the information contained in the Trump dossier so he could

375
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: alert the State Department, and then he prepared a two

376
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: page summary after reviewing the dossier, and then he shared

377
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: it with Victoria's new landers, a State Department diplomat, and

378
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: she directed him to share it with then Secretary of

379
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: State John Kerry. And it gets more disturbing because around

380
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: the same time, Winer said he connected with his old

381
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: friend Sydney Vicious Bluementhal. It was a long time you

382
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: know Clinton operative, and he wrote that he and Bluementhal

383
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: discussed Steele's report, and the Clinton operative gave him notes

384
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: from a journalist he didn't know, and Winner was referring

385
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: to Cody Shearer, the long time Clinton ally who was

386
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: never a journalist, but rather someone deeply connected to doing

387
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: Clinton's dirty war behind the scenes. Weekly sit Standard described

388
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: him as one of Hillary Clinton's sketchiest supporters that was

389
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: in the Conservative Tribute. Anyway, sheers second dossier contain many

390
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: of the exact same claims as Steals dossier, so it

391
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: wasn't a supposed so that basically it's all coming from

392
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: the same sources. Some of this information was funneled to

393
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: steal by Clinton operatives. He just throws it in there.

394
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: What does he care if he verifies that or not.

395
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: He's getting paid a lot of money. But what we're seeing,

396
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: as Monica Crowley wrote yesterday in The Hill, is a

397
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: federal abusive Obama Obama's watch, and I think when we

398
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it, is unprecedented. And then

399
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: add Susan Rice and that component to it, and this

400
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: bizarre email to self, We're great, We're doing it by

401
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: the book self, just unbelievable. Tell you. The biggest outrage

402
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: of the week, though, all these media outlets that literally

403
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: trying to romantics is North Korea. Well, I get to

404
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: bother you at some point. I don't know what it

405
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: is about the left and how they just they just

406
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: think that if we're just nicer to them, they're gonna

407
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: be nicer to us. I've never understood that. So you

408
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: have the opening ceremony in South Korea on Friday night.

409
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: The media echo chamber goes into full gear, heaping praise

410
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: on Kim Jong UN's sister athletes from the North and

411
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: South Korea marching on the same team, waving reunification flags.

412
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: More history just a few seats away. Kim Jong UN's

413
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: sister right there behind the Vice president. She's on hand

414
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: for the Olympics as well. In a historic moment, South

415
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: Korean President Moon Jay inn shook the hand of Kim

416
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: Yo jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong

417
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: The sister of Kim Jong un, shook hands warmly with

418
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: the South Korean president and the v I P box

419
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: at the Olympic opening ceremonies. But North Korea is stealing

420
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: much of the limelights. Kim John and sister landed at

421
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: Incheon Airport earlier since day three days at the world's

422
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: media running after the sister of North Korea leader Kim jongn.

423
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: And still we know very little about the woman who

424
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: has stolen the headlines at the piong Chang went to Olympics.

425
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: How about we know this, you know, to the Avanka

426
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: Trump of North Korea as they were describing her and

427
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: all these other accolades thrown her way. I'm stunned by

428
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: what happened. See and then was the worst of all

429
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: of them, Kim Jong UN's sisters stealing the show at

430
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics. She didn't say anything. New York Times

431
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: even acknowledged that without a word, only flashing smiles. Kim

432
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: Jong UN's sister outflank Vice President Mike Pence in diplomacy

433
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: the Avanka Trump, the Washington Post says, of North Korea,

434
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: and it goes on from there. Um, did anyone in

435
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: the media point out that she's the minister of propaganda

436
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: of one of the most brutal dictatorships in modern history.

437
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: I guess they they have to know it. I assume

438
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: they know something about what's going on over there, because

439
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: it's not that hard to find out if you do

440
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: a little research. Then they go after the vice president

441
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: because he didn't shake her hand. Okay, the woman they're

442
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: applauding is the official director of propaganda. This is a

443
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: government that has murdered around four hundred thousand political prisoners

444
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: and what many have called concentration camps that have been

445
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: in existence since between eighty and a hundred and twenty

446
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: thousand people are still imprisoned in those camps, and that

447
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: includes men, women, and children. UN report over two hundred

448
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: thousand people from around the world. They've just simply disappeared

449
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: in North Korea. But she has a nice smile, And

450
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: don't forget the three Americans are currently being held hostage

451
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: in the rogue state. We forget that part, or that

452
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un and his regime are also responsible for

453
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: the recent death of Erican otto warm Beer. He was imprisoned,

454
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: he was sentenced to hard labor why for allegedly stealing

455
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: a poster. And on top of that, if you look

456
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: at North Korea while they're firing their missiles over Japan

457
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: and threatening the continental United States. In Guam, well they're

458
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: currently starving the people. Roughly thirty percent of the population

459
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: is starving in that state. Oh while the little despot

460
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un lives a life of luxury and his

461
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: sister enjoys a prime seat at the opening games of

462
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: this year's at Winter Olympics. Anyway, in the mainstream media

463
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: praising them, it's pretty disgraceful. And this is where I

464
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: get into this whole issue about I don't understand the

465
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: mindset of the left in this country. I don't understand

466
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: anybody that could actually make an argument that it was

467
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: a good idea to give this this guy's father three

468
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: billion dollars and energy and we just got a promise

469
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: that he's never gonna build nuclear weapons. Will verify all

470
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: of this and didn't verification never happens, And here we

471
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: are years later, and he's got nukes. Now he's building

472
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: intercontinental ballistic missiles, and now he's talking about taking out

473
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: American cities. And then he's firing and test firing missiles

474
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: over Japan and near Guam. And then but everybody wants

475
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: to suck up to a sister. And then one point

476
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: seven billion dollars in cash by Obama to iron the

477
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: same Malas who have been chanting death to America, burning

478
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: American and Israeli flags and death to Israel. It's unbelievable.

479
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: You know, if if you're finding out, who would ever

480
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: think it's a good idea. Look, well, if we give

481
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: you one point seven billion dollars, you've gotta promise us

482
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: that you're not gonna build nuclear weapons. We can't tolerate

483
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: a nuclear arm durant. But there's a mindset that thinks

484
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: that I think I assume they think that that's gonna work.

485
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: Now E really believe So I assume that that Neville

486
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: Chamberlain believed that he really had peace in his time

487
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: through the prism of history looked pretty stupid, but I

488
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: guess at the time he thought that. Yeah, I really

489
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: have negotiated a piece for our people. Didn't work out

490
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: that way. I did not like the new Churchill movie,

491
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: by the way, for a lot of reasons. I did

492
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: watch it, and I've read a lot about Winston Churchill.

493
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 1: Love him as a historical figure. The biggest problem is

494
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: that they want to portray him in the worst possible light.

495
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: All Right, Jay Seculo, at the top of the hour,

496
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: we'll get the latest with him. Also, we'll be checking

497
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: in with Byron York. You know, even Trump hater Peter

498
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: Struck didn't think that General Flynn lied. Unbelievable there is

499
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: if anybody's out there can't see through the media obsession

500
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: with some issues. I mean, just watch some of your

501
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: local cable shows. It is so bad out there in

502
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: terms of what they don't report, what they should report,

503
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: what they stay away from reporting, how wrong they report,

504
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 1: and how conspiratorial they are, and what an extension they

505
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: are of all things liberal. You just can see it

506
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: like it's I don't know, plain is the nose on

507
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: your face? It's so obvious. Alright, gotta take a break.

508
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: We'll check in with Ja Sekulo later on. We will

509
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: have much more on the news of the day, and

510
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: we'll get a lot of your calls in nine for

511
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: one Shawn, a toll free telephone number. About hours before

512
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: the president elect was sworn in his president, Susan Rice,

513
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: the outgoing National Security Advisor, sends an email to herself

514
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: documenting President Obama's concern and guidance regarding Russian interference in

515
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: the presidential election, the Steele dossier, according to Graham and Grassley,

516
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: and information with the Trump's incoming team from a meeting

517
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: that took place on January seventeen. Now, the January fifth

518
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: date's interesting because the very next day and James Comey

519
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: was there. The very next day, James Comy meets with

520
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: the President elect and talks about the Stele dossier, among

521
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: other things, and the Dave of four, Susan Rice writes,

522
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: the email is the renewal date for the FIES warrant

523
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: against Carter Page. Here's the problem, the problem, and nobody

524
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: knows what this was. I mean, at the end of

525
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: the day, the only person that knows what she was

526
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: doing on this is Susan Rice. So she's gonna have

527
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: to give an account for that. But folks, I mean,

528
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: look at the facts. You always tell law students get

529
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: familiar with the facts, understand the timelines, and there are

530
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: multiple intersecting timelines on this where they come into the intersection.

531
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: Whether it's the FISA warrant, whether it is the interview,

532
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: whether it's this meaning, whether it's then the meeting with

533
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: uh uh the President elect and James call me, whether

534
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: it's the change of the Executive Order and how they

535
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: distribute intelligence information. I want to get all this would

536
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: be a fascinating study, and say November through February of

537
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, seventeen, what took place. I want to know

538
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: what happened. I want to know what happened. Hour to

539
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: Shawn Hannity Show eight nine one, Shawn is told pretty

540
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: telephone number, you want to be a part of the program.

541
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: That was Jay sekil Why don't you explain this a

542
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: more detail exactly what you're saying. So, Sean, here's the

543
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: thing I think that's important for people to understand. So

544
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: this meeting takes place on January five, right, so they

545
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: already had the first series of FIZ and warrants. Understand though,

546
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: the two of the five signatures on those FIS and

547
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: warrant applications are at this meeting, So that includes the course,

548
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: it includes James Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.

549
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: So they have this meeting on January five to brief

550
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: the president on the Russian investigation, and the President and

551
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Susan Wrights in this email that she does two and

552
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: a half weeks after that event, says, the president, you know,

553
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: want to make sure the law was being fought, but

554
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: also was concerned about what we should or should not

555
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: share with the incoming administration. But remember this, on January five,

556
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: they have this this meeting with President Obama, James Comey,

557
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: Sally Yates, Vice President Biden, and UH and UH Susan Rice.

558
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: The very next day, James Comy flies up to New

559
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: York meets with Donald Trump, the President elect, and reviews

560
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: with him intelligence matters and briefs him on the Steel dossier.

561
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: So what grass Lee and Graham have asked for, which

562
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: makes sense here, is why in the world would you literally,

563
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: as the new president is being sworn in and the

564
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: inaugural festivities are well underway, parade done, at the you're

565
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: getting ready for the swearing in, why in the world

566
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: would you do this memo in the last moment of

567
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: the last day as your last act, and there's only

568
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: one reason you're covering for something that either somebody was

569
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: at the meeting they were concerned with leak I don't know,

570
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: James Comby's leaked, or they were somebody saw them at

571
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: this meeting, or they were trying to cover their tracks.

572
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: We don't know. I don't know. But it's just if

573
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: you look at the way the facts lay out, including

574
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: the fact that this memo comes the day after the fires,

575
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: a warrant was renewed by the Fives accord. So this

576
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: just raises a whole I mean, I think what grass

577
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: Lee and Grandma said is right. It's odd and and

578
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: and pretty much. Yeah, and you like odd and unusual

579
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 1: as the words they It's just to see what it says,

580
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: y a. But it makes absolutely no sense. Is she

581
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: doing this at the behest of Obama? Does this now

582
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: bring Obama into it? In other words, what did he

583
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: know about the fires and what did he know about

584
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: all of this with with the dossier, etcetera. Well, look

585
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: what she says in the email. That part of it's redacted,

586
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: of course, so we don't know all of it, but

587
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: it said President Obama began the conversation by stressing his

588
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue

589
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities. Quote

590
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: by the book, the President stress that he's not asking

591
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective,

592
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: reiterated that our law enforcement team and he should proceed

593
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: as it normally would buy the book, and then the

594
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: President said that he wants to be sure that as

595
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to

596
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: ascertain if there's any reason that we cannot share information

597
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: fully as it relates to Russia. In other words, are

598
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: we not going to tell the incoming administration information we

599
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: have about Russia? That's what he said there. I mean,

600
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: that's what she's saying that the president of the United States.

601
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: Then President Obama said, that tells your whole story. This

602
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: is the incoming president of the United States, and heater

603
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: withhold information from him. Yep, he's the president elect. Where

604
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: do you think, how do we get to the bottom

605
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: of what it actually means? I mean, does this now

606
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: open up an area of investigation into you know, other

607
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: emails that were sent back and forth text messages. Do

608
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: we now have to wait another year to get information

609
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: from Susan Rice and and others that might have been

610
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: involved in did Comy lie when Comy said that, you

611
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: know it only met with the president on X occasions,

612
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: not mentioning this one. You know, I don't know what

613
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: Comy did or did not do. This is what I

614
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: do know that Congress has asked Susan Rice a series

615
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: of questions that they want an answer to. I think

616
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: the date it's February. They want a response in writing

617
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: to these series of questions. Because, as as Grassley and

618
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: Graham said, this is unusual, to say the least, odd

619
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: and we do know. And again I think it's worth

620
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: stressing Sean, two of the five participants were people that

621
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: signed off on the five the warrants, which is an

622
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: unusual in and of itself, considering that they were the

623
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: FBI director and then the deputy attorneys are in the

624
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: United States. But there they were, and they're in the

625
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: Oval Office for this meeting. And why is it that

626
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: Susan Rice waited over two weeks to put this in

627
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: writing to memorialize this, So you're right, it is it

628
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: is a sense. It's to cover their tracks. I don't

629
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: know exactly what the tracks they're trying to cover are,

630
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: and I think that's where Congress, through its oversight, needs

631
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: to move and move swiftly, and it just looks like

632
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: they are. I want to talk a little bit about

633
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: the two memos that came out, the New Nest Memo

634
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: then the Grassly Grand Memo, and the Grassly Grand Memo

635
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: that was the unredacted version, which I think was very,

636
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: very revealing because at the end of the day, I

637
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: won't I won't bore the audience with given the full

638
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: history here, but James Comey and Peter Struck writing the

639
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: exoneration of Hillary on the email server scandaled months before

640
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: they interview her and seventeen other key people. That that,

641
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: to me is pretty unbelievable. I've never heard of an

642
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: investigation working that way. This is after, of course she

643
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: pretty much dole or the primary against Bernie was rigged,

644
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: all right. So she's funneling money through her campaign through

645
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: a law firm as the d n C that Donno

646
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: Brazil says she was controlling the money of meeting Hillary

647
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: through the same law firm. They pay for a Russian

648
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: dossier full of salacious information and We're even told in

649
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: the Grassly grand memo that it's Russian government information, but

650
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: put that aside. All right, so it's bad enough, she's

651
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: gonna pay for information. Nobody verified it. Fusion GPS didn't

652
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: verify it, the Clinton campaign didn't verify it. Nobody apparently

653
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: verified it. But then it gets worse. Then the Grassly

654
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: Graham memo goes on to say that the bulk of

655
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: evidence presented to acquire or the FISA warrant against Carter

656
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: Page was the dossier. Nobody had verified the dossier. And

657
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: then we find out the unverified dossier. By the way,

658
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: even James Comey said to Donald Trump, this is in October,

659
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: they're issuing the warrant, but he said in January it

660
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: was still unverified and salacious, right, So that's that's three

661
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: months earlier. Now, Um, he's apparently part of a group

662
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: presenting it to a FIS a court to get a warrant,

663
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: and the only thing we get is a footnote that

664
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: says maybe political in nature, when everybody knew Clinton bought

665
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: and paid for it. You know, well, I thought with Michaelissenoffs,

666
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: it was also interesting that they based his statement. The

667
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: press account was also in the in the application evidently,

668
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: and he so I just based that off the Steel dossier.

669
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: So it was it was evidence verifying its own evidence.

670
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: I mean it was the same. They were using the

671
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: same information to verify the same information. So with circular

672
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: in nature. I mean, I think if I was the

673
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: FIES a judge, I wouldn't be too happy about any

674
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: of this. And when you look at the what has

675
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: taken place here, I think that and I think this

676
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: is where where the questions line is. I don't think

677
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: there's any question that absent the Steele dossier, there would

678
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: have been no FIES and warrant even sought. That's according

679
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: to UH on the Nunas memo. That's according to what

680
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: UH is going to be was in the transcripts from

681
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: the testament one from Ron Rosenstein. Now here's what's interesting.

682
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: You have the the atom Ship memo, the Democratic response memo,

683
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: which has gone back to the UH Senate House Democrats

684
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: to work with the FBI to get it redacted the

685
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: way it UH so it won't give up sources and

686
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: methods and there and and Ship was very quick to

687
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: say they'll do that. I think they were trying to

688
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: kind of one step away or two steps out to

689
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: step the president. I think he outstepped them by just

690
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 1: sending it back. They were hoping he would send it back,

691
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: either not send it back or send it back redacted. Um,

692
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: and I think what he did instead, which I think

693
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: was the smarter and more appropriate roses here, it is

694
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: back to you. You get this cleared with the FBI

695
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: and work it out, and you saw a very mild

696
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: atom ship in response to that, A very mild atom

697
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: ship in response to that. But look, I don't think

698
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: there's gonna be anything. I mean I haven't I haven't

699
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: seen it, so I don't know, but I will tell

700
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: you this. I am working right now. I'm putting together

701
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: a complete timeline of everything Sean that took place. And

702
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: it's not over that long a period of time. It's

703
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna be four months. And I think when you

704
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: see it in a timeline, it's gonna be breath taking.

705
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: Our audience is following this closely. Yeah, so you've got

706
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: in the summer of we know they're attempting to get

707
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: FIES warrants and they're not successful, right, we mean, they

708
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: make at least two attempts, they don't get FIES warrants,

709
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: and that's very rarely where they don't get them. But

710
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: they didn't get them here. They come back in with

711
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: the dossier, they get the fives and warrant on the dossier.

712
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: Then they have the interviews. You had the interviews with

713
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: General Flynn with the FBI. That's all taking place in

714
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: this period of time. Now we have the meeting, right

715
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: do you have a meeting on January five that we

716
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: now know about with two of the five signatures on

717
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: the fives warrant they're briefing the President of the United States,

718
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: President Obama. The next day, what happens President uh, the

719
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: president elect, it's briefed by In this particular case, James

720
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: called me the FBI director and the dossiers brought up

721
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: and he said it's unverified and silastious, and you're not

722
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: under investigation. Then the FBI comes back in and interviews uh,

723
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: General Flynn again. And and there's evidence now that FBI

724
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: did not think he was not telling the truth. They

725
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: just think he he was confused. That's what that's according

726
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: to James called his own testimony. So this is all

727
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: happening within months. I mean, you've got all of this

728
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: happening month. Then don't forget the executive order that was

729
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: changed the year before, right at the end of the term.

730
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: See that all of these end of the term stuff

731
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: happening and there's really no great explanation for any of it.

732
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: Then how do we get to the point where a

733
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: special counsel is appointed in this whole thing? And and

734
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: where are we in in that whole mess? Well, there's

735
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: a you know, here's how it works. So the Attorney

736
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: General is supposed to make an evaluation whether this investigation

737
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: can be done internally or needs a special counsel. I

738
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: said when you add, now, if you want to continue

739
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: the timeline out and during that same summer of you

740
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: also had the Fusion GPS matter with the Steel dossier.

741
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: You had the number four at the Justice Department, Bruce

742
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: Or's wife working for Fusion GPS assigned specifically to the

743
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: Russian dossier to work with Steele. He is meeting with them.

744
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: By the way, uh Wars meeting with Steele, Steele becomes

745
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: the basis of his His dossier becomes the basis of

746
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: the of the warrant. Then he leaks it to the press.

747
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: The FBI says they pull back their formal relationship with him,

748
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: although Bruce wore still meeting and talking with him, whose

749
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: wife is working for Fusion GPS. So this is a

750
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: shell game they played here, they moved, They just kind

751
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: of moving the It's almost like remember the game whack Up.

752
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: You hit the mold and hit one, and what it

753
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: is you You kind of hit one here and boom,

754
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: another one comes up. So I think what you have

755
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: to do, what I'm gonna do is put together a

756
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: full timeline on this to get an understanding. All right,

757
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: So you gotta make this timeline out. Um, I wouldn't

758
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: mind putting it on TV. Number one, number two, I

759
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: think it is an important time. But the number three,

760
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: how dangerous is it? You know? Two things have happened here.

761
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: We spent over a year with no evidence of Trump

762
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: Russia collusion, and every media outlet breathlessly hysterically reporting this

763
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: again and again and again and again. Okay, then we've

764
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: got instances where Hillary did pay for Russian lies about

765
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: an opposition candidate. And then it gets worse because that

766
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: was used as the bulk of information to acquire a

767
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: fiz of warrant against the opposition party candidate against one

768
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: of his members and then that was used to also

769
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 1: spying an incoming administration. Now, to me, when you put

770
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: all this together and then you add in there the

771
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, struck and and page texts, and the fact

772
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: that Andrew McCabe is involved, and then the exoneration before investigation,

773
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: it seems like everything was fixed just for this. How

774
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: do you ever straighten out that if we can't have

775
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: elections in this country where bought and paid for Russian

776
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: lines don't raise enough eyebrows for people were in trouble. Well, look,

777
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean you hit the kind of the nail on

778
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: the head there, and and the fact of the matter

779
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: is nobody knows, none of us know the full nature

780
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: and scope of what's going on here. I mean, there

781
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: are individuals that now and they may, by the way,

782
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: some of these government officials may not know the ins

783
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: and outs of everything that's involved here. But I think

784
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: what has to happen now is you look at this

785
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: and try to piece together what is taking place, what

786
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: is transpiring. You ask yourself what was the initial impetus,

787
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: the cause for all of this, and then how did

788
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: it play out over time? You know, we're leaving out

789
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: the leaking by James Comey of the conversation you have

790
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: with the President of the United States. That's why I'm

791
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: saying all of this has to now be I'm gonna

792
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: be meaning about this as soon as we're done laid

793
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: out in a comprehensive timeline. I mean, just a comprehensive

794
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: timeline to get a real understanding it exactly what was

795
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: at play during these critical periods. None of us know

796
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: for sure. We have hunches, ideas, but none of us

797
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: know for sure. And and look the fact that we

798
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: may never know, but it's got enough concerned that you

799
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: got Senator Grassley and Senator Graham, neither one of which

800
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: are conspiratorial, that are concerned about this. Well, I think

801
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: the fact that these committees now are releasing this information, Uh,

802
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: do we know for sure sources and methods were in

803
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: the Democratic memo? That what that the FBI sent back?

804
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: It had to be, right, Yeah, that's what that's the assumption,

805
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: and that there was concern oversources and methods, and that's

806
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: the basis upon which that the White House Counsel and

807
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: reviewing the documents would Will that be one reason to

808
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: send it back? I haven't seen it, so I don't know,

809
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: but that's you know I'm hearing the same things you're hearing,

810
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: and that was a concern, and Adam Ship did not

811
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: seem to deny that when asked on I think it

812
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: was ABC this Week or one of the programs, maybe

813
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: Space the Nation. Uh, he said, no, we're gonna we'll

814
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: we'll work with him to get it resolved. Say he

815
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: did not fight that push back on that fact. You

816
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: don't hear much about that right now at all. Realized

817
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: they've got to do it all right, Jay secular, We

818
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,479
Speaker 1: appreciate your time as always. Eight hundred nine for one, Shawn,

819
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number you want to be a part

820
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: of the program. Also coming up Byron York. He had

821
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: a great piece about how James Comey told Congress FBI

822
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: agents didn't think Michael Flynn lied. Well, then why would

823
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: he ever admit to that? Why did we get to

824
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: that point? David Brody has written a book about the

825
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: faith of Donald Trump. Will hit that today. We have

826
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: a great handedy tonight at nine on the Fox News Channel.

827
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: We'll continue let's hit our busy phones here. Eight hundred

828
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: nine for one Seawan is our toll free telephone number.

829
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program, right,

830
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 1: Jennifer's and Louise Yanna, Jennifer High, how are you glad

831
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: you called? What's going on? Hey? Sean? First, I wanted

832
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: to tell you thank you for all you do for

833
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: truth and for my president. Thank you's our president. Yes,

834
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: it's not just yours, you know, I know, I know. Um.

835
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: My question is what can we do collectively as a

836
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: people to get these people like or struck page off

837
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: our dime out of my government. I can't believe they're

838
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: still there. I mean, knowing what we know now, they

839
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: should all have been fired. Now there's a beginning of

840
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: a purging going on between people fired, being fired, resigning, moved,

841
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: and demoted. And I think it's only the beginning of

842
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: those things. I think there's gonna be a lot more

843
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: of that. Right, they gotta go, they gotta go absolutely

844
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: offensive that they're offensive that I pay these people salaries.

845
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, the fact is that if they have, if

846
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: you work for the FBI, you're not You're supposed to

847
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: be about the law, about equal application under the law.

848
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: You know, they're even talking about not only an insurance policy,

849
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: they're talking about, Oh, we don't want to piss off

850
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: Hillary God forbid, she wins. I mean it's it's just bizarre,

851
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: all right, thank you. It should scare you, it should.

852
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: And I don't see a lot of civil libertarians out

853
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: there and liberals out there saying this is not what

854
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: we want in this country. We don't want, you know,

855
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: Russian propaganda bought and paid for used to get FISA warrants.

856
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: But by the way, we're not going to tell the

857
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: judge any of the pertinent information about the lack of

858
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: the veracity in this document, nor who paid for this document.

859
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: Back to our phones. Thanks, Jennifer, appreciate it. Uh. John

860
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, John High, how are you glad you called Sean?

861
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: How are you so glad to talk to you? A

862
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: long time listener both of your shows? Yes, sir, what's

863
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: going on? I get a question in your opinion, in

864
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: light of all this new information has come out over

865
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,439
Speaker 1: the past few weeks and months, how do you see

866
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: the smaller investigation ending? Where do you it's gott to

867
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: end at some point? You know, one of the problems

868
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: with special counsels is what we call investigative creep um.

869
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: You know, look at the case Patrick Fitzgerald going after

870
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, in the Valerie plan case. He knew on

871
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: day one who would leaked the information and it was

872
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: Richard Armitage. Now he should have just shut down and said, okay,

873
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: I figured out who, what the who the leaker was,

874
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: and it was Richard Armitage. And then they break it

875
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: all the way down into you know, putting Scooter Libby

876
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: the squeeze on him day in and day out. Give

877
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: us information about the Vice President Cheney at the time,

878
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: and you'll go free, and then we'll go after Dick Cheney.

879
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an enormous amount of power. It's politicizing

880
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: political or criminalizing political differences. And they seem to have

881
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: an ending, you know, ability to move into areas that

882
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: they never would design to go into. And that's the

883
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: danger of special counsels and what that said, I think

884
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: we need one to investigate the investigators and into this

885
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: particular case. I do believe laws were broken. I do

886
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 1: believe that crimes were committed here, and I think those

887
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: people involved in them, you know, should pay the price.

888
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: Do believe Jeff Sessions is doing the diligence? You know,

889
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: it's hard. Look, I don't think you should have ever

890
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: recused himself number one, And I think none of this

891
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: happens had Jeff Sessions not recused himself. That's number one.

892
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: Number two, Um, he moves too slowly and it seems

893
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: to be lacking urgency. I know he's moved into the

894
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: Iranian one issue and into some other issues. But I

895
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Um, you know, I I don't see

896
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: enough happening, And if I was him, I would appoint

897
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: the special counsel now to investigate the investigators. It also

898
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: takes him out of it, and I think there's probably

899
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, it sounds, you know, like I'm contradicting myself.

900
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't want more special counsels, but things are so

901
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: bad here. I don't think there's any other way to

902
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: get to the truth on this. It's gonna be very

903
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: interesting when we get the Inspector General's report in just

904
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. That's gonna, I think, open up

905
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people's eyes. But I don't think it's

906
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: ending soon. But I think it's ending. Remember we heard

907
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: it might end by Thanksgiving, by Christmas, by the New Year,

908
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: by the end of February. Um, maybe they're wrapping it up,

909
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, the big fight now. I guess it is

910
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 1: over you know whether or not Mueller gets to question

911
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and I would say the answer should be

912
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: an emphatic absolute no. I don't think you should have that. Um,

913
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: Henry is in Oklahoma next Henry High. How are you

914
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 1: glad you called? And welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Well, hello,

915
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: Mr Hannity. I just wanted to say thank you for

916
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: point me in the right direction with Enjoy. I've been

917
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: using Enjoy for about you made the Enjoy switch. I

918
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: did you know It's It's amazing how many people are

919
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: telling me. And if you go to enjoy dot com

Speaker 1: people just like to do that and to do it

925
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: a smoker, quit smoking and uh. In my personal opinion, UM,

926
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: I think it's better than than what other people have

927
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: been using in the past. And for people that do smoke,

928
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: I recommend My personal suggestion is and you can check

929
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: with your own doctor and your own self, but I

930
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: think it's a far better product for you well, I

931
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: truly enjoy it. Um, no pun intended. I truly enjoy it. Yes,

932
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: I got it. Yeah, man, enjoy the switch. Um alright,

933
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: my friend just wanted to say thank you and let

934
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: your other listeners know. You know, I've smoked for forty

935
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: plush years and I just put them down almost immediately.

936
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 1: So look, I saw the impact that had on my parents.

937
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: I wish this product or a product like it existed

938
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: at the time. I really do. Um. Let's go to Cannon, Kentucky. Ken, Hi,

939
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,919
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Hi? Sean? Uh? First

940
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: of all, I just like to say from our area

941
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: that since that area, we have a saying for you

942
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: that you are a great American. Well, that means you're

943
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: listening to my buddy Sean Hannity's Bill Huntingham, you're a

944
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: great American. I want a full report Donald J. Trump

945
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: is now saving the country and why these liberals want

946
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: to get him out of office. I don't know. Pretty good,

947
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: you are correct what I want to say, though, as

948
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: a retired law enforcement officer and I proffered many affidavits

949
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 1: for search warrants to see this happening through the Fiser

950
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 1: Corps like it is when you proffer or construct, or

951
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: you're any part of anything that would offer a fake

952
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: bossier to the Fiser court and commit a fraud upon

953
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 1: that court, you lose what I call credibility. If we

954
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: were to ever do that, we would go from a

955
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: police uniform to a different kind of uniform, and it

956
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a police uniform, it would be a prison uniform.

957
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 1: And that's why I find it hard to believe that

958
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: these people are still in existence with the FBI in

959
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: the d O jaylike they are. I can't I claim

960
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: it hard to believe. Well, listen, I I find it

961
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: hard to believe. And it's really sad that this type

962
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: of thing could happen. You know, our founders and framers

963
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: they often talked about the size, the scope, the influence

964
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: of government, and in this capacity, is that the power

965
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: would corrupt them. And when you have a group of

966
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: people at the very top that seemingly feel they know

967
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: what's past and they're not going to apply the law

968
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: equally to Hillary, They're gonna give her a pass and

969
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna put the fix in and then they're gonna

970
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: go to a FISA chord after they've been denied at

971
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: least once, maybe two times, and try and get a

972
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: warrant so they can get a sneak peek into what's

973
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: going on in an opposition party's campaign. That's problematic. And

974
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: to use the other candidates information, not tell the court

975
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,479
Speaker 1: about it, not verify the salacious information, and that's bad enough,

976
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: and do it all because they want to impact an election.

977
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: That's what this can is down to. That's why this

978
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: is so big. Watergate, Yeah, that was about impacting an

979
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: election by stealing your opponents research, okay, a third rate

980
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: burglary and then covering it up. This is far more sophisticated,

981
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: far more dangerous, because you're using the powerful tools of intelligence,

982
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: the powerful tools within the FBI and the d o

983
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: j IS as the mechanism to pull this off. Even

984
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: one one final comment here, Sean is what I find

985
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: hard to believe, even beyond that, every night I watch

986
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: you on television and I see all the events that

987
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: have taken place through the d n C and Hillary Clinton.

988
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, anybody can look up the definition online

989
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: or wherever their Webster's dictionary of organized crime. If that

990
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: is an organized crime. I've never seen organized crime. And

991
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: to think that the mafia was the largest organization in

992
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: this country that represented organized crime. That would be like

993
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: shrouds boy. Compared to the DNC and all the weaponizing

994
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: they've done within the agencies of our federal government is

995
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: a scary thought. It's very scary. A lot of going

996
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: on here that's very scary. I appreciate the call. Thanks

997
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: so much for being with us. All right, let's go

998
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: to UH Lady sim in Calabasas, California. How are you?

999

Speaker 1: are you? What an honor for me to speak with you?

1001
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: I m once. I'm from a South Korea, immigrants South

1002
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: Korean and my very own eye. What's going on? The

1003
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: papaganda against UH South and the America, this evil regime

1004
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: and using this Olympics to papaganda, massy papaganda holding It's

1005
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 1: a messy papaganda. Let me tell you something, Sean. I'm

1006
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna thank two American finest arm impulses sacrifice for keeping

1007
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: freedom my motherland South Korea for seven decades. You will

1008
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: stand by to us. We appreciate so much with South Korean,

1009
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,959
Speaker 1: appreciate so much. We will never forget you. Not only

1010
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: that Mr President Trump, Vice President Mike Sense stood up

1011
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: for this evil dictator monster and North Korean Kim Johan

1012
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: and three roodiums, and and I am so glad you

1014
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: are to you guys are doing commending jobs and saving

1015
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: our USA and South Korea and freedom loving world, the

1016
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: countries all over the world. Thank you so much. All right, well,

1017
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: that's very nice to you. Listen, we all are blessed

1018
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: by America. And I've always said that if America doesn't

1019
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: stand for liberty and freedom and human rights, then who's

1020
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: going to You know, there's a lot of criticisms of

1021
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: this country, but I can't think of a world without

1022
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: the United States and the moral compass we have. And

1023
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: that is the country that has accumulated all this power

1024
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: and sacrificed so much of it for others. And no

1025
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: country has accumulated that power and abused it less and

1026
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: used it for as much good as we have. And

1027
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: that is the American legacy and dream. No we're not perfect.

1028
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: I'll be the first to say, no, we're not a

1029
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: perfect country, but we have been a country that has

1030
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: used it for good. Unfortunately, now we have some cleaning

1031
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: up inside to do first destroy? Are you aware of

1032
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: a gentleman by the name of Oleg Deripaska. I've heard

1033
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: the name. Fair to call him a Putin linked Russian oligarch. Well,

1034
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: I'll leave that characterization to others, uh, and certainly not

1035
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: in this setting. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Juiciary Committee,

1036
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: last week sent a letter to a London based lawyer

1037
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: who is a law who represents Mr derri Posca and

1038
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: asked if Christopher Steele was employed either directly or indirectly

1039
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: by Oleg dear appost at the time he was writing

1040
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,919
Speaker 1: the so called Steele dossier. Um, do you know if

1041
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele worked for olegda Posca? That's not something I

1042
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: can answer. Could we discuss it in the classified setting?

1043
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: There might be more we could say there. Next is Russia,

1044
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: where President Putin will continue to rely on assertive foreign

1045
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: policies to shape outcomes beyond Russia's borders. Putin will resort

1046
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: to more author terian tactics to main control amid challenges

1047
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: to his rule. With respect to Russian influence efforts. Let

1048
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: me be clear, the Russians utilized this tool because it's

1049
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: relatively cheap, it's low risk, it offers what they perceive

1050
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: as plausible deniability, and has proven to be effective at

1051
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: sewing division. We expect Russia to continue using propaganda, social media,

1052
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: false flag personas, sympathetic spokesman, and other means to influence

1053
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: to try to build on its wide range of operations

1054
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: and has ascerbate social and political fissures in the United States.

1055
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: There should be no doubt that Russia perceived that its

1056
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: past efforts has as successful and used the two thousand

1057
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: and eighteen u S midterm elections as a potential target

1058
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: for Russian influence operations. An op ed by a number

1059
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: of former intelligence analysts called the Nunas memo and its

1060
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: release quote one of the worst cases of politicization of

1061
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: intelligence and modern American history. And quote you said you

1062
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: had concerns about that memo. I know you can't get

1063
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: into the um greaty details of that, but can you, um,

1064
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: can you say in your view whether or not one

1065
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: of those concerns is that it may have uh selectively

1066
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: cherry pay information without presenting the entire fact pattern that

1067
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: led up to that vice of warrant application. Well, center,

1068
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: I would just repeat what we said at the time,

1069
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: which is that we had then and continue to have now,

1070
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 1: grave concerns about the accuracy of the memorandum because of omissions.

1071
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: We provided thousands of documents that were very sensitive and

1072
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: lots and lots of briefings. Uh, and it's very hard

1073
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: for anybody to distill all that down to three and

1074
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: a half pages. Al Right, So that's the FBI Director

1075
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: of Christopher Ray writing, you know, he's not answering Tom

1076
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Cotton's question, and that is whether or not Christopher Steele

1077
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: was employed by Russians while writing the Bony Russian dossier.

1078
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: And then of course Ray testifying that you know, he

1079
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: has grave concerns about the Newness vis A memo. But

1080
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's because they don't want any memo out

1081
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: there because they're the ones being investigated by the House

1082
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: Intel Committee. All Right, when we come back, great piece

1083
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: by Byron York is out how comy and even stru

1084
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: told Congress the FBI didn't think that Michael Flynn lied,

1085
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: then why was he charged with that? All Right, we'll

1086
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: take a quick break, we'll come back. News Round Up

1087
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: Information Overload is next coming up next, our final News

1088
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: round Up and Information Overload, Our UM. And I'm a

1089
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: big believer in the idea that the FBI speaks through

1090
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: its work, through its cases, through the victims. UH, it

1091
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: protects UH. And I encourage our folks not to get

1092
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: too hung up on what I consider to be the

1093
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,959
Speaker 1: noise on TV and the social media. So you haven't

1094
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: seen any evidence of some sort of inherent political bias

1095
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: and the agency. No. That was Christopher Ray earlier today

1096
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: and testifying about these not seeing any bias at the FBI,

1097
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: which I don't believe he even believes that. But what

1098
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: is he gonna do? Yeah, I see a ton of

1099
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: bias at the FBI. Let me just come here before

1100
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: the committee and and and tell everything that I believe

1101
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: is wrong. Somebody that I think has been on the

1102
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,439
Speaker 1: on the outside that's been doing amazing work on all

1103
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: of this is Byron Yorkie joins us now he's with

1104
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: the Washington Examinery that he has a great column out

1105
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: and it's Comey told Congress that FBI agents did not

1106
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: think that Michael Flynn lied. Well, then that raises the

1107
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: question about General Michael Flynn, who quote admitted to lying

1108
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: to the FBI when they came to his office in

1109
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: January of seventeen. Why did the General Flynn go along

1110
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: with that and be if they thought he didn't lie,

1111
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: why would they make him agree to that? Uh, Byron York,

1112
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: welcome a board. How are you hey? So thanks for

1113
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: having me? All right? So, if Comey and the other

1114
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: agents didn't believe he lied, why would Michael Flynn agree

1115
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: to take that plea? Well, I think something changed. I

1116
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: mean the timeline here is that, you know, you have

1117
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: to think back to January February and how crazed everybody

1118
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: was about Russia and Flynn and talking with the Russian

1119
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: ambassador and all of that stuff, talking about sanctions, and basically,

1120
01:03:56,520 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: the FBI goes to interview Flynn on January, the fourth

1121
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:05,439
Speaker 1: day of the Trump administration, and asked him about these

1122
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: conversations that he Flynn has had with the Russian ambassador

1123
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: during the during the transition, which, by the way, was

1124
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: a perfectly proper thing for an incoming national security In

1125
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: other words, he's talking to his counterpart or he's soon

1126
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: to be counterpart, exactly exactly, and he was getting called.

1127
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: Flenn was getting calls from hundreds of people around the

1128
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: representatives of foreign governments around the country. If Hillary Clinton

1129
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: had won, her incoming national security advisor would have been

1130
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 1: getting calls from hundreds of representatives of foreign governments around

1131
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: the world. So um, anyway that the FBI comes up, well,

1132
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: but the Justice Department really comes up with this theory

1133
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: that maybe that these conversations that Flynn has had, these

1134
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: entirely normal conversations, violate the Logan Act. I'm sure you've

1135
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: told your listeners about the Logan Act. That's that two

1136
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: hundred year old law that has never ever been successfully prosecuted.

1137
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: Perhaps he violated that, or maybe maybe that Flynn might

1138
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 1: be susceptible to blackmail. So they went and questioned Flynn.

1139
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: Not clear, wasn't they made their intentions clear before they

1140
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: actually questioned him or not he met them without a lawyer. Nevertheless,

1141
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: when Congress inquired wanted to know what was going on

1142
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: in early March, James Comy goes to Capitol Hill talks

1143
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: to lawmakers. They say, well, what about Michael Flynn. Tomy says, well,

1144
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: the FBI agents who interviewed him do not think he lied,

1145
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: and one of them was Peter Struck. One of them

1146
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: was indeed Peter Struck. So you go from there. That's

1147
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: in March of last year. Go from there to December

1148
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: one of last year, when Flynn pleads guilty to doing

1149
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: just that tow line in that particular interview with the FBI,

1150
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: And the question is what changed? And I have to

1151
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: tell you I don't really know the answer. I don't

1152
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: lay out the answer in the story because I don't know,

1153
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: but but I do know. I have a theory. Now,

1154
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: it's only a theory. You want to hear it. My

1155
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 1: theory is I'll be happy to hear. Okay, I think

1156
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: and this again, I'm telling everybody, this is a theory.

1157
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: Now if the surveillance, lack of minimization, unmasking, and we

1158
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: know he was unmasked, and then the leaking of raw

1159
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: intelligence which we know took place of General Flynn. When

1160
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: that meeting took place, I believe it was the twenty

1161
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: four of January or somewhere right after he became National

1162
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Security Advisor, correct January. Okay, so at that point they

1163
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: already knew everything that he had said in the transition

1164
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: to his Russian counterpart. The I're asking him about a

1165
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: conversation of which they had a recording and a transcript

1166
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: which they had read. And I doubt they told him

1167
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: that he had a recording or they had a recording

1168
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: or a transcript of it. Well, Flynn is a former

1169
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: director of the Descent Intelligence Agency, and as such, everyone

1170
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: that I've talked to believe that when certainly would have

1171
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: known that this is the kind of conversation that would

1172
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: have been wire tapped. In other words, the US intelligence

1173
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: would have been wire tapping the Russian ambassador. So my

1174
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: theory goes like this that they he either misremembered, which

1175
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: is very possible. I mean, if you asked me who

1176
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: was on my show last Friday, I'd have to sit

1177
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: here for a while and think. But if he asked

1178
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,959
Speaker 1: me about Reagan's economic statistics in nineteen I can rattle

1179
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: them off in seconds. So I'm not sure what he

1180
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: remembered or didn't remember, or if he lied on purpose

1181
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: or didn't lie on purpose, or he misremembered or didn't

1182
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: But let's put that aside for a second. They should

1183
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: not have had that information because when we in fact,

1184
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: when there is surveillance as we should have of foreign

1185
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: enemies or a hostile regime such as Russia in this

1186
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 1: particular case, who's talking to the soon to be counterpart

1187
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: is the Russian ambassador, UM, and they pick up in

1188
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: a mirror can on that line. They're supposed to minimize

1189
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: that those reports are supposed to be written without identifying

1190
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: or amasking the American that was speaking to the Russian ambassador,

1191
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: and they would usually, if a proper protocol were followed,

1192
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: they would write an American that the ambassador was talking

1193
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: to an American and then they wouldn't then that raw

1194
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: intelligence would not be leaked either. So I suspect that

1195
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: there was some type And we know what happens with

1196
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: grand juries, and we know what happens with aggressive prosecutors,

1197
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 1: and here you have a big special counsel set up

1198
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: and they want to justify their existence. And I think

1199
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: he was probably given a choice either you agree the

1200
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: ally to the FBI, or we're gonna go back into

1201
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: all of your financial dealings and that includes that of

1202
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: your family and your son and others, and that would

1203
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:49,759
Speaker 1: put them in jeopardy. That's my that's my working hypothesis. Well,

1204
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 1: it has been reported that UM that Flynn's son, who

1205
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: was in business with him for might for a while

1206
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: have been in jeopardy, and that amazingly enough, after Flynn

1207
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: pleaded guilty that the sun was no longer um. In

1208
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: other words, he fell on his sword for his kid,

1209
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: and that's what they came up with. But we also

1210
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: have to remember there's a lot that goes on between

1211
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: March of last year, when Comy tells this to Congress

1212
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: and December one, when, um, when Flynn pleads guilty. First

1213
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: of all, the president fired Comy uh. And then as

1214
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,799
Speaker 1: a result of that, you have the appointment of Robert Mueller,

1215
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: the Special Counsel. Then you have Mueller creating this office

1216
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: and hiring a bunch of gun Hope prosecutors, the people

1217
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: who would make prosecutors. So the thing that changed his

1218
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Comy's out and the prosecutors in, and the prosecutor that

1219
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: has to justify his existence. There's no doubt that these prosecutors,

1220
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,919
Speaker 1: the specific ones that call me has hired h Weisseman

1221
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: and others have a reputation for kind of take no

1222
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: prisoners prosecutions, and um, you know, I don't know. I mean,

1223
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: the people who were very supportive of Flynn say that, Look,

1224
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:05,719
Speaker 1: people sometimes plead guilty to get an investigation off their back.

1225
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: They've had enough, they've suffered enough, they're broke. Uh, they're

1226
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: worried about family members. They do these things like that.

1227
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: I've had other people who say no, they had, you know,

1228
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: clear information that he lied. So but but if he

1229
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: the timeline doesn't work because if you have James Comey

1230
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: saying he and his fellow agents didn't think he lied,

1231
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: this is before the special prosecutors appointed, then then how

1232
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: did we ever get to this point? Did that make sense?

1233
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: If it doesn't make sense, No, no, I I totally

1234
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. We should say that prosecutors acusing

1235
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: at the I agents normally do not make the prosecutorial decisions.

1236
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: And we should have a big exception because remember in

1237
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,919
Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton email case, Well, the Attorney General essentially

1238
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: gave James coming the power to make a prosecutorial decisions,

1239
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: but normally they don't. So what we had here was

1240
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 1: FBI agents going over to questions uh Flynn. But the

1241
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: decisions would be made by the people like Sally Yates

1242
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,600
Speaker 1: who came up with this theory of blackmail or the

1243
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: logan act or of some sort of criminal exposure. Sally

1244
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: ages Is only testified once about this. She testified in

1245
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: May of last year before a Senate judiciary Subcommittee, and

1246
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: she talked about how she went after this interview with

1247
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: Flynn on January. She thinks the news is so critical

1248
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: that she started to go over to the White House

1249
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: and talk to the Council. Don began, so first he

1250
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: hears of it on January. Then tell him about this,

1251
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 1: and Don McGann says to her, and this is according

1252
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: to her account, says to her, look, what if Michael

1253
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: Flynn lied to the Vice pressent. Let's just say he did.

1254
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,599
Speaker 1: What's that to the Justice Department? I mean, what's what's

1255
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,879
Speaker 1: the crime there? And that is when Sally Flynn apparently

1256
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: goes into her theory about what she called the underlying

1257
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: conduct being the Logan Act, possible Logan Act violation and

1258
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 1: this idea which again to her theory that Flynn might

1259
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: be vulnerable to blackmail. So she Sally Yates said to

1260
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: intervene and have the FBI question UH plan on on

1261
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: pain of perjury. So you know, I have to say

1262
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 1: I wrote this story about what Comy told lawmakers. You know,

1263
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: I just think that's important information. I don't know what

1264
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: might have changed, but I do know that a lot

1265
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: of lawmakers view this whole Flenn case as really weird. Well,

1266
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: list the things that happened. I'm troubled by it, all right,

1267
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: by Ron YORKA, will hang in there. We'll have a

1268
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 1: couple more questions on the other side. Nine one, Shawn's

1269
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: a toll free telephone number. And as we continue, by

1270
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: Ron york is with us with the Washington Examiner and

1271
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: his pieces out Comey told Congress FBI agents didn't think

1272
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: Flynn had lied. Look, look where, colleagues, and you can

1273
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: tell me anywhere you disagree with me, but this is

1274
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 1: what I think. Where we are, I think you have

1275
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton was protected by call me and struck. I've

1276
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: never heard of an exoneration written before an investigation that

1277
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: allowed her to stay in the presidential race. I think

1278
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: the crimes that were committed were overwhelming and incontrovertible. If

1279
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,680
Speaker 1: we're going to follow the law, mishandling classified information, etcetera.

1280
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 1: With the email server scandal, we'll learn a lot more

1281
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: with the Inspector General report, and then so she's allowed

1282
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: to continue on. She pays for a Russian dossier full

1283
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: of salacious lies and misinformation, and now we've learned that

1284
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: that was the basis the bulk of the information given

1285
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 1: to a visor court by Callmey and others, and they're

1286
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: just trying to justify it. And I think it was

1287
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: all designed to impact an election, and then when they

1288
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 1: lost the election, of impact an incoming president in ways

1289
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: that we've never seen before. Is there any part of

1290
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: that you disagree with? Well, I think there's some of

1291
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: the things. I wouldn't go as far as as what

1292
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: you say, although they're I mean, clearly there are a

1293
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,719
Speaker 1: lot of things are obvious facts. I mean, Christopher Seels

1294
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: worked for the Hillary Clinton campaign. But I think, um,

1295
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,679
Speaker 1: once we once we straighten out all these all these

1296
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 1: actual facts, and that's going to take a long time,

1297
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: I think we have this kind of step back and

1298
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 1: look at the troubling aspect of the FBI inserting itself

1299
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: into a presidential election on both sides. And you know,

1300
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: basically we had a presidential election in which both candidates

1301
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 1: were under FBI investigation, and I think you've got to

1302
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: wonder whether maybe the FBI was has just and well,

1303
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. Do you doubt that the fix

1304
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 1: was in? What have you ever heard of an investigation

1305
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 1: that exonerates They begin the exoneration letter months before they

1306
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 1: interviewed the principles. No, I haven't. And you know, we've

1307
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: seen some of the early drafts. We know that in

1308
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: May he was James Comen was circulating drafts of that

1309
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: exoneration level letter. Obviously, the interview with Hillary Clinton doesn't

1310
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: happen until July second, and he has exonerated on July five. Yeah,

1311
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: you've explained it to your listeners many times. But but

1312
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 1: not only did they write the asoneration letter before interviewing Clinton,

1313
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: they they did it before uh, interviewing lots of critical people,

1314
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: seventeen other people. Yeah, well, let me ask you. This

1315
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: community out like candy, and it was astonishing the way

1316
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: they did it. So it's bad enough that Hillary pays

1317
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: for this phony Russian dossier with salacious lies, but then

1318
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: it becomes the bulk of the reason presented before Viser

1319
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: court to get this this visor warrant on on carter

1320
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: page so they can see what's going on within the

1321
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: Trump administration or the Trump campaign rather and later on

1322
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 1: the incoming presidency and the president elect. And they never

1323
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: told anybody. In other words, they didn't tell the court

1324
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 1: that it was Hillary Clinton bought and paid for. And

1325
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,799
Speaker 1: also it was unverified because in January, when James Comey

1326
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 1: went up to Trump Tower to talk to Trump, he

1327
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: said it was unverified installationous. But that's not what they

1328
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: were telling the court in October. Yeah, if I could

1329
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:56,080
Speaker 1: add one thing about this, this warrant. You know, you've

1330
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 1: heard some defenders of the FBI say no, no, no,

1331
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: they weren't spying on the campaign because they didn't get

1332
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: the warrant until after Carter Page had left the campaign.

1333
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 1: But the fact is one of these warrants are very

1334
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: powerful things, and they allow the FBI to listen to

1335
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:15,600
Speaker 1: phone conversations going forward after the warrant is issued, but

1336
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: also to look at email and text and any other

1337
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: thing that leaves the record going backwards as far as

1338
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: they've got the records. So carter Page had had emails

1339
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: with members of the Trump campaign and say may or

1340
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: June of this warrant would allow them to read all

1341
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 1: those And by the way, the warrant also allowed the

1342
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: FBI to break into pages house and plant listening devices

1343
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: if they chose. Unbelievable, do you do you have the

1344
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: same issues that I have with the team that Robert

1345
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: Mueller has assembled. All the Democratic donors, people like Andrew

1346
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: Weissman and his track record going back to Anderson Accounting

1347
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 1: and Enron and for meryal executives being overturned nine zero

1348
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court, will spending a year in jail

1349
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: that's overturned by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, tens

1350
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: of thousands of jobs lost. You have a problem with

1351
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 1: some of these people, Yeah, I I do. I think

1352
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: it certainly looks bad. And you you could also have

1353
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: mentioned the Wiseman sending this kind of cheerleading note to

1354
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 1: Sally Yates when she refused to enforce the president's executive order,

1355
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 1: which which got her fired quickly, and Wiseman was a

1356
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 1: was a big fan of that. Um, I think it

1357
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: would be better. Uh, it just seems like it would

1358
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: be obviously better to hire a political prosecutors for this.

1359
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: I also think, and I wrote about this at the time,

1360
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen as much since that Mueller and James Comey

1361
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: are good friends, and James Comey is going to be

1362
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: if there is, if there is to be a case

1363
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 1: of obstruction of justice against the president, the firing of

1364
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: James Comey is going to be the centerpiece of that case,

1365
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: the key witness, the star witness will be James Comey,

1366
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 1: who will be a good buddy of the prosecutor. So

1367
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's not a great situation, all right.

1368
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: Byron York, Thank you for being with us. Eight Sean

1369
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 1: a t the top of the hour, Shawn, if you

1370
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. A lot

1371
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: has been made about past presidents and their faith and anyway,

1372
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: there's a new book out by my friend David Brodie.

1373
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: It's really well done and fascinating and interesting, and it's

1374
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 1: called The Faith of Donald J. Trump. And David's the

1375
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: chief political correspondent of the CBN Network. And here's the

1376
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:33,879
Speaker 1: President talking at the National Prayer Breakfast. In their selfless deeds,

1377
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: they reveal the beauty and goodness of the human soul.

1378
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: When catastrophic hurricane struck, first responders and everyday citizens dove

1379
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 1: into rushing waters to save stranded families from danger, and

1380
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: they saved them by the thousands. Neighbors open their homes

1381
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:58,639
Speaker 1: to those in need of food, clothes, shelter. Firefighters brave

1382
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:03,440
Speaker 1: blinding smoke and laims to rescue children from devastating wildfires.

1383
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: During the horrific shootings, Stranger shielded strangers and police officers

1384
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: ran into hail of boats to save the lives of

1385
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: their fellow Americans right in Las Vegas. A terrible day,

1386
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:26,839
Speaker 1: a terrible night, but such bravery. Families have adopted babies

1387
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:33,480
Speaker 1: orphaned by the opioid epidemic and given them loving homes.

1388
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Communities and churches have reached out to those struggling with

1389
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: addiction and shown them the path to a clean life,

1390
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 1: a good job, and a renewed sense of purpose. And soldiers, sailors,

1391
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: coast guardsmen, airmen, and marines have spent long months away

1392
01:19:52,360 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: from home defending our great American flag. So all we

1393
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: have to do is open our eyes and look around us,

1394
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: and we can see God's hand in the courage of

1395
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 1: our fellow citizens. We see the power of God's love

1396
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: at work in our souls, and the power of God's

1397
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 1: will to answer all of our prayers. When Americans are

1398
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: able to live by their convictions, to speak openly of

1399
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: their faith, and to teach their children what is right,

1400
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: our families thrive, our communities flourish, and our nation can

1401
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: achieve anything at all. Here with us today is another

1402
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: symbol of hope. A very brave nine year old girl

1403
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 1: named Sophia Marie Kampa Peters. Sophia suffers from a rare

1404
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: disease that has caused her to have many strokes. At

1405
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: one point, the doctors told Sophia that you would not

1406
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 1: be able to walk. Sophia replied, if you're only going

1407
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 1: to talk about what I can't do, then I don't

1408
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 1: want to hear it. Just let me try to walk.

1409
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 1: She tried, and she succeeded, and one of her doctors

1410
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 1: even told her mom, and they're right here in the

1411
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: front row where they should be. This little girl has

1412
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 1: God on her side. Thank you, Sophia, Thank you mom,

1413
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 1: great mom. I said, do you love your mom? She said,

1414
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: I have a great mom. I love my mom. Right.

1415
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: Just two weeks ago, Sophia needed to have a very

1416
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: high risk surgery. She decided to ask the whole world

1417
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: to pray for her, and she hoped to reach ten

1418
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: thousand people. On January, as Sophia went into surgery, she

1419
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:03,799
Speaker 1: far surpassed her goal. Millions and millions of people lifted

1420
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,560
Speaker 1: Sophia up in their prayers. Today, we thank God that

1421
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: Sophia is with us, and she's recovering, and she's walking

1422
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: very well. And I have to say this, Sophia. You

1423
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: may only be nine years old, but you are already

1424
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: a hero to all of us in this room and

1425
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 1: all over the world. Thank you, Sophia. As long as

1426
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 1: we open our eyes to God's grace and open our

1427
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: hearts to God's love, that America will forever be the

1428
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: land of the free, the home of the brave, and

1429
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: the light unto all nations. All right, David Brody joins

1430
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: us now. The Faith of Donald J. Trumpets up on

1431
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: Hannity dot com, bookstores everywhere, Amazon dot com. How are you, sir,

1432
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 1: Good sir, Thanks for having me on. I've actually enjoyed

1433
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 1: the times I've been on with you and your network,

1434
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: and you guys are actually nice to conservatives. It's rare.

1435
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 1: It's rare. I'm not used to read exactly. Um now,

1436
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,680
Speaker 1: unlike say Michael Wolf's book, you actually spoke to the

1437
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: president about his faith, about his religious views. And you know,

1438
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 1: somebody said, I was reading the Heritage Foundation at the

1439
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: end of seventeen and they were pointing out that this

1440
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 1: president is governing in his first year, governed more conservatively

1441
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: than even Ronald Reagan. And everyone's you know, this big argument,

1442
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: is he a populist. Is he a nationalist? I'm watching

1443
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 1: a guy governing as a Reagan Conservative. Um, what did

1444
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: you learn about his faith that might surprise people? Well,

1445
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: there are a few things. And first of all, it

1446
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 1: funny you mentioned Michael Wolfe because I was basically going

1447
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 1: to say, this is the book Michael wolf probably doesn't

1448
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 1: want you to read. It actually has interviews with President

1449
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: Trump and Vice President Pence. Actually the interview with the

1450
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: President Trump was done in the Oval office too, with

1451
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 1: Mike Pence in the West Wing. Um. Look, there a

1452
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,719
Speaker 1: couple of things. First of all, what was really striking

1453
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 1: in this book is he talks about the impact that

1454
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: evangelicals have had on him. When and I see evangelicals,

1455
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about leaders that are around him, not just

1456
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 1: Paula White and some of these other folks we've heard about.

1457
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: Where we're talking specifically about many televangelists, many Pentecostals that

1458
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: he has never even experienced before Sean, and all of

1459
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, there's this whole world that's opened up to him.

1460
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:18,759
Speaker 1: So he says, the quote in the book is basically

1461
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 1: how this has impacted him greatly. And what we're starting

1462
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: to see now is a spiritual voyage, especially in the

1463
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 1: last couple of years, where behind the scenes there are

1464
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: a lot of folks that are I want to say,

1465
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: witnessing to him. They're really kind of sharing Jesus with

1466
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 1: him in a way that is something that he's not

1467
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 1: used to. Mainline presbyterian Um, the way he grew up

1468
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:43,679
Speaker 1: is not the way necessarily he's getting an experience. Now. Well,

1469
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you in this context because I

1470
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,799
Speaker 1: know people like Darryl Scott and and he put together

1471
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: a group of of he's the head of the National

1472
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: Diversity Coalition for the President and others, and I know

1473
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 1: that they do talk to him about these things. I

1474
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 1: know Franklin Graham talks to him about these things, and

1475
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 1: I know that he's interested in these things. And it's

1476
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,600
Speaker 1: it's interesting when he gets in an environment where he

1477
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: can actually talk about it. As we just heard, he

1478
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 1: does show the side of him. You know, for me,

1479
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 1: a certain fundamental aspect of faith is discerning good versus evil.

1480
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 1: And I know we get into this all the time

1481
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: with Republican presidents. If Ronald Reagan calls the Soviet Union

1482
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:26,639
Speaker 1: an evil empire, the left goes crazy. Or if George W. Books.

1483
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,799
Speaker 1: Bush talks about, you know, Iran and Um and Iraq

1484
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: and North Korea as being an access of evil and

1485
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump isn't willing to give let's see billions of

1486
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: dollars to Mullas and Iran that are talking about blowing

1487
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: us up and wiping us off the face of the

1488
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 1: earth or North Korea. You know that that frightens people

1489
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 1: on the left, But there seems to be a more

1490
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: fundamental understanding of the evil nature of some of these

1491
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 1: regimes and just how they treat their own people. Well,

1492
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: that's right. That's been a big magnet for evangelicals as

1493
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: to why they're attracted to Donald Trump. You know, Donald

1494
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 1: Trump's the world in in absolutes, and so do we evangelicals.

1495
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: And there's a kinship, a doctor phil moment, as I

1496
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: like to call it. And I think that's really important.

1497
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 1: And I also think to understand Donald Trump, you have

1498
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:11,599
Speaker 1: to really know him, actually know him, because in private,

1499
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 1: as you know Sean, when the cameras are not rolling,

1500
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: evangelical leaders will come to recognize more compassionate side. There's

1501
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: a story in the book Sean about a private car ride.

1502
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:20,800
Speaker 1: Mike Pence is telling me the story of the Vice

1503
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 1: president just a few months ago before the book came out,

1504
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 1: telling me the story. It's Mike Pence, Franklin Graham, Tony Perkins,

1505
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in a car in Louisiana two thousand and sixteen,

1506
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: the flooding down there. This was before he was president.

1507
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: Trump becomes deeply moved by what Graham's Christian ministries Maritan's First,

1508
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 1: had done for flood victims. So right there on the spot,

1509
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: it's just before them in the car, he tells Graham

1510
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:42,839
Speaker 1: he's gonna he needs to give the ministry a hefty

1511
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 1: six figure check, and he says, I got to do something.

1512
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: I've just been moved by this so much. And Graham

1513
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: politely told Trump to send it to Tony's home church,

1514
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: not Home's home church that had been instrumental in the

1515
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 1: recovery efforts. So you know, once again, camera's not rolling

1516
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: a different side of Donald Trump. Look, Walter Cronkite to

1517
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: to to quote the you know the liberal bastion media, right.

1518
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Walter Cronkite always talks about in seeking truth,

1519
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: you have to get both sides of a story. Well,

1520
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: here's the other side of the story that media doesn't

1521
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 1: really want to tell well, I think that's that's an

1522
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 1: interesting way to put it. Look, I also think New

1523
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: York is a very different place. And I speak from

1524
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: experience because I was born and raised in New York

1525
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 1: on Long Island, and I was raised Catholic, and I

1526
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:23,200
Speaker 1: was an altar boy. And you know, then I go

1527
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,720
Speaker 1: on this radio adventure that takes me five years in

1528
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 1: Rhode Island and five years in California, and two years

1529
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 1: in Alabama and four years in Georgia, and then you know,

1530
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: fortunately I got back to New York and I was

1531
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 1: hired by the Fox News Channel. But in the time

1532
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 1: that I traveled, I began to see and and this

1533
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 1: is in no way disparaging of of any other part

1534
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: of the country or region of the country, but when

1535
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 1: I got to Alabama and Georgia, it was a a

1536
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:51,600
Speaker 1: very different Christianity than the Catholicism that I grew up in,

1537
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 1: and I came to like it, appreciate it, identify with it.

1538
01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's that there are play says

1539
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 1: like this in New York, but the differences in Alabama.

1540
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: It's every other street there's a church. Yeah. Well, and

1541
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 1: it's interesting you say this because this is pretty much

1542
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 1: what the President told me in the Oval office. He said, look,

1543
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 1: I didn't hang around these people before. I don't know,

1544
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know any of this. But now they're opening

1545
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: my eyes to you know, this whole kind of other

1546
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 1: side of the faith that he didn't know anything about.

1547
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny because a story in the

1548
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 1: book is a bishop, Wayne Jackson, who was one of

1549
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 1: the folks that prayed at the inauguration. Be's a lifelong Democrat. Uh.

1550
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 1: He Trump goes into Great Great Faith Ministries International in Detroit.

1551
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: Trump visited, visits the church, and then it was Wayne

1552
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 1: Jackson telling me that the moment Trump got out of

1553
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 1: the car, this is a quote from Wayne Jackson, the bishop.

1554
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: He says, quote, the spirit of the Lord told me

1555
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: that he is going to be the next president of

1556
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 1: the United States. So these are the circles that Donald

1557
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 1: Trump is running in. Now. A little bit more of

1558
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: that prophetic side, a little bit more of that definitely

1559
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:56,679
Speaker 1: that evangelical side that is kind of blown Donald Trump away.

1560
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:58,719
Speaker 1: But at the same time, he respects people of faith,

1561
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: the clergy, I mean, he members of time. He's seventy

1562
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 1: one years old. He remembers a time where you you're

1563
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 1: dressed up for church. You didn't come in baggy pants

1564
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:07,759
Speaker 1: and and sneakers. And you know this is a respect

1565
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 1: for clergy that he has. I remember Daryl Scott, you

1566
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 1: mentioned Darryl Scott. He specifically said to me that in

1567
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 1: meetings with clergy, Trump adopts the position of the lesser,

1568
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 1: not of the more powerful. If you are fascinating, that's

1569
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 1: that is pretty interesting to hear from Daryl Scott. Do

1570
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 1: you think that the president is getting more faithful, his

1571
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 1: faith is growing? Do you see that or maybe in

1572
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 1: your conversations with him you've seen it absolutely. And there's

1573
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 1: a few different things that can point to. First of all,

1574
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, of course you did that interview with the

1575
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: president right off the top in his presidency. I was

1576
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: able to do the third interview with him, and during

1577
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,760
Speaker 1: that interview he said, I need God even more in

1578
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 1: this job. And just the other day, about two weeks ago,

1579
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: at the TV Network anchor luncheon before the State of

1580
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 1: the Union, I was actually there in the room in

1581
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: the State Dying room with the President. He's talking about

1582
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 1: how basically, as a businessman, Heart isn't involved, but as president,

1583
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 1: Heart is involved and compassion is involved, so he's getting

1584
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 1: a whole another side of this. And then at the

1585
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 1: National Prayer Breakfast, what did we just see? I mean,

1586
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:09,760
Speaker 1: we had a president who, in his first year at

1587
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 1: the National Prayer break Fast talked about the ratings of

1588
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 1: the Apprentice more uh, he talked about the ratings of

1589
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 1: the Princess, about his accomplishments. But what did he do

1590
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:19,800
Speaker 1: this time around? You know, years time? He didn't talk

1591
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 1: at all about the Apprentice, didn't talk at all about

1592
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 1: his accomplishments. It was more of god less of him.

1593
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 1: And it was a subdued, very poignant speech, and even

1594
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 1: the New York Times enjoyed. And that's saying something. But

1595
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 1: the point is is that we're seeing some movement on

1596
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 1: his on his behalf for sure. You know. I remember

1597
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 1: during the campaign and a lot of evangelicals took a

1598
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 1: lot of heat if they supported Donald Trump for president.

1599
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, he was divorced, and he wasn't a

1600
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: perfect person, and he made the tabloids, etcetera. And I

1601
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 1: think it was Jerry Fallwell Jr. I know it was

1602
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,799
Speaker 1: Jerry Fallwell Jr. That said, we're looking, we're not electing

1603
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 1: a pastor here if I was electing a pastor, I'd

1604
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,639
Speaker 1: be looking for something different. I'm looking for a strong

1605
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 1: press that didn't think can fix the country. Well, that's right,

1606
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 1: and he nailed it right on the head. And look

1607
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 1: in the view of evangelicals, they see a culture that's

1608
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 1: securiorating quickly in the last decade. For sure. They want

1609
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: a bold culture warrior to fight for them. And and

1610
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 1: by the way, Sean showing that God does indeed have

1611
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 1: a sense of humor, he gave them Trump, which I

1612
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,280
Speaker 1: think is kind of funny. But anyhow, the bottom line

1613
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 1: is it's basically in God's perfection. It's a match made

1614
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,600
Speaker 1: in heaven because Trump and evangelicals actually share quite a

1615
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 1: few important cultural points of is of interest. I mean, look,

1616
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:31,599
Speaker 1: there's a disdain for political correctness and all of that

1617
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 1: Judeo Christian values. He remembers Bible reading in school, he

1618
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 1: remembers prayer in school. He patent, he loves pattent in

1619
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 1: the fifties, he remembers America who once was dot dot dot.

1620
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 1: And but on these on these cultural issues, he comes

1621
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:48,720
Speaker 1: down on the side of where evangelicals come down on

1622
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:50,960
Speaker 1: and where I would come down on. Well, that's right,

1623
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,639
Speaker 1: and you talk about fruit. Everybody talks about the spiritual fruit, Well,

1624
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:55,120
Speaker 1: where is it in his life or where is it

1625
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 1: in your life or my life? And look, the spiritual

1626
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:00,639
Speaker 1: fruit can be said from a public polo see standpoint.

1627
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: He has delivered a plus for evangelicals in the first years.

1628
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:05,679
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I talked to an evangelical leader

1629
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: the other day, I said, so, what's on the to

1630
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 1: do listen to two th eighteen? He said, my goodness,

1631
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 1: we're starting to run out of things. I mean literally

1632
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 1: the president from Jerusalem to the Gorsage to the life issue,

1633
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 1: he's been spot on and evangelicals have loved every minute

1634
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 1: of it. All Right, David Brody, congratulations on a great book.
