WEBVTT - Fed Surplus - 2.13

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the Shawan Hannity radio show podcast A right glad you

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>with us one Shawn Tolfrey telephone number if you want

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.239
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of this six dravaganza. Where is this?

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>According to the latest zagby Pole, a landslide majority of

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>people on the left now say that they are ashamed

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of America. Wow, fifty of all voters say they're proud

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, while the third say they're ashamed

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 1>and not sure how they feel. All right, whopping of

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>liberals say they're ashamed of America. We'll just thirty we're

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>proud of America. Three quarters of Republicans are proud of

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the United States. Only six percent of shame of Democrats. Um,

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure this is all tied to Donald Trump and

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>hating Trump and Trump obsession, etcetera, etcetera. That's what I'm

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>thinking it's all about. And and I get it, I

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>understand it. Of those people just cannot get over the fact,

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and there are a lot of them, even on the

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Republican side, they just can't get over the fact that

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump won. They can't um a lot of news today.

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to get into this. Some great, great good

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>columns out there that we're gonna be delving into here,

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>not the least of which is you know, I've read

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>this on the air yesterday, and the more I've had

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>time to think about it, the more I realized just

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>how profound this is. So you have Senator Chuck Rassley

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and Senator Lindsey Graham questioning and sending a list of questions.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I read them yesterday, I won't do it today for

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the former National Security Advisor Susan Rice regarding what they

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>are flagging as an unusual email that she sent to herself,

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and it was sent on Trump's inauguration day, just just

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>literally minutes before she departed the White House for the

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>last time. And we have Grassley's the Senate Judiciary Committee Chair, Graham,

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 1>They release a statement and the letter they wrote to

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Rice outlining the concerns of their email her email as

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>it relates to the Senators or the Senate's probe in

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Russian interference. Now. They both say they received the email

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>in question as a result of a request from to

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the National Archives for records of meetings between Obama and

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 1>then FBI Director James Comey, And the email that Rice

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>sent to herself was January. Now Donald J. Trump was

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>sworn into office just afternoon. She sent this to herself

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>at twelve fifteen, and it seems to document a meeting

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that she had just attended with then President Obama, FBI

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Director James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates two weeks before,

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>on January five. So they're talking about a January fifth meeting.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>And Rice's note reads as follows on January five, follow

0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>again this, but she's writing it eleven fifteen day years later,

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>just as she's leaving the White House for the last time.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>On January five, following a briefing by I C leadership

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>on Russian hacking during the presidential election, Obama had a

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>brief follow on conversation with the FBI Director Jim Comey,

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Deputy Attorney General Sally Aids in the Oval office. Vice

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>President Biden and I were also president. That meeting reportedly

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>included a discussion of the Steel dossier and the FBI's

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>investigation of its claims, and President Obama began the conversation

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>of this issue is handled by the intelligence and law

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>enforcement communities by the book. Why would she say that now?

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>The President stress that he is not asking about initiating

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>normally would by the book. From a national security perspective, however,

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Obama said he wants to be sure as we engage

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>there is any reason that we cannot share information fully

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>as it relates to Russia. A portion of the email

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 1>remains classified. The correspondence continues reading the President asked come

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to inform him if anything changes in the next few

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>weeks that should affect how we should share classified information

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>with the incoming team. Remember, they made those rules changes

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>just as they were going out the door. I wonder

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>if that's impacting this in any ways, thought to self,

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and maybe I'll send myself an email and grass Lee

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and Graham said in their statement that they found it

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>odd that Rice felt it was necessary to send to herself. Yeah,

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>it is odd. That is the quintessential c y a

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>such an unusual email purporting a document of conversation with

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>them President Obama and his interactions with the be I

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>regarding the Trump Russia investigation in her final hours as

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>a member of the Obama administration. Now, grass Lee and

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Graham suggests that despite Rice's claim that Obama had told

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>call me to proceed quote by the book, a lot

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of questions now have arisen about the conduct of FBI officials,

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the d o J, the State Department in the course

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>of the investigation. Why would she feel the need to

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>do this? And grass Lee and Graham sent, right, So

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a list of questions. It's gonna be interesting to see

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 1>where that goes. And it's gonna be interesting to see

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>if anything else has written about what happened on January five?

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Is it getting very is it getting more odd and

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:45.119
<v Speaker 1>more strange by the moment? I gotta tell you, um

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.280
<v Speaker 1>now we have Now this is another interesting point. This

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>is in the political So two weeks before he leaves office,

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Obama's telling senior members of the administration that he wanted

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to keep then President elect Trump's transition team in the

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>dark about details of the FBI's Russia Gate investigation. That

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of contradicts what Rice is writing herself that that

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>he didn't want to get involved in anything involving law

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>enforcement with this anyway that would maximize the bureau's ability

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 1>to gather evidence that could lead to the prosecution of

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>top Trump Bates, and even Trump himself. You're beginning to

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 1>think of trappis set here, don't you. Anyway? Former President

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Obama suggested in January that information related to a federal

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>probe of Russia election interference might have to be withheld

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.160
<v Speaker 1>from AIDS to then President elect Donald Trump. According to

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>an internal White House email released Monday by these two

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>GOP senators, and the warning Obama delivered was on January five.

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>This is the conversation that Rice is now chronicling on

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the moment before she leaves office. She must feel very

0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>sensitive about it, and the President stressed he's not asking

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.840
<v Speaker 1>about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective.

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>From a national security perspective, Obama said he wants to

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>be sure as they engage with the incoming team, we

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>are mindful to ascertain if there's any reason that we

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia. That's

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of unclear what the officials might have said in response,

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the grass Lee Graham are saying here that part of

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>this is classified. But the passage after that states that

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Obama asked Comey to let him know if anything changes,

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Well he not the president. Well why would Comey tell

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>him after he left office? Now, in this press release

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>last week, remember we learned that the FBI love birds

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Peter Struck in Lisa Page had prepp then FBI Director

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Comey on details of the Russia Gate investigation, with Struck

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>telling Page that the president quote wants to know everything

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. And yesterday we found out that comes last

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>briefing with Obama aluded this, you know, notorious Christopher Steele

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Golden Showers dossier, and that revelation was included. But this

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 1>letter sent by grass Lee and Graham to Susan Rice,

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. This is something here that I can't

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>put my hand on yet put my finger on, but

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking. It's all happening in a very very just

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>little bits and pieces. Some of you have complained. My

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>good friend Michael Myers will write me occasion when do

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>we get to the end zone? When did we find

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, you're appeeling layers of an onion. It

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen overnight. Now, this raises serious questions about what

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>happened at that January five meeting and who knew what,

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>when and where, and what did they know and when

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>did they know? It was watching some of the testimony

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:53.199
<v Speaker 1>today by the FBI director and and the CIA director

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and a bunch of others before the Senate Intelligence Committee,

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.719
<v Speaker 1>and Christopher Ray is going to test testify before them

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>as the growing conflicts between the White House. But they're

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>going into close session, and they kept saying over and

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>over again, that's probably something we'll speak of later. We'll

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>probably talk about that later. We'll probably talk more later,

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>which is a little bit frustrating if you actually want

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 1>answers now Byron York is gonna join us today, and

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 1>he points out that sources for Comey's Flynn exoneration where

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Peter King and Trey Goudy, So we now can corroborate

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>his bombshell report that it will explain later in the

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>program that they disgraced FBI Director James Comey told Congress

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>behind closed doors that he didn't think General Flynn had lied,

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and that others in the FBI didn't think he lied. Well,

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>then it raises the question, why would General Flynn ever

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>plead guilty to lying to the FBI, which is a crime.

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's the most fascinating thing. Why would they?

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Whyever would he do that? Is this a case where

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>there was a threat of prosecution of his family? You know,

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>they've had to had to be your reason if they

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't think that he had lied there. I want to

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>find out what that's all about. There's a great piece

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>by Rowan Scarborough today in the Washington Times and it's

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>the dossier's ten core collusion accusations remaining unverified twenty months later.

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, we forget about you know what's in the

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>dossier for crying out loud. We just know that it's

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>unverified and sallacious and full of lies. And he actually

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.839
<v Speaker 1>took the time to go through all of this, and

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.199
<v Speaker 1>he you know, when you look at the whole dossier

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and how that became the predicate for a warrant and

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the foundation for a warrant. And they didn't tell the

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>FISA Court judge that it was bought and paid for

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>by the opposition political campaign. They didn't tell the FISA

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Court judge that it was not verified you know, for

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.319
<v Speaker 1>the ongoing special counsel into the Trump Russia election coordination,

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>it's helpful to separate what counts, because I don't think

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>without any dossier ever have a Robert Mueller here. But

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>it was funded by Hillary in the d n C.

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 1>And they sent it through the same law firm. And

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>it's bad enough that they were going to use those lies, unverified,

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>salacious lies in part from the Russian government, according to

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>the Grassy Graham memo that came out last week. Anyway,

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the dossier I think takes on even more importance. Anyway,

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 1>So they identified ten cores collusion accusations that the Trump

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>campaign launched an extensive conspiracy with the Kremlin to interfere

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>with the presidential election. To date, no public verification verification

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that Trump, for decades developer of tall buildings, maintained an

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>eight year relationship of give and take with Russian intelligence

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to date, no public verification that Trump and senior campaign

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.959
<v Speaker 1>aids actively supported the Russian hacking of the Democratic Party

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>computers to steal and release stolen emails. No public verification

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.479
<v Speaker 1>that Carter Page and campaign manager Paul Manaphor personally conspired

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>with Moscow to hack the Democratic Computers when the hacking

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>began in Tift. Neither man was associated with the Trump campaign.

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Both deny the charge. Page testified under oath that he

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 1>had never met or spoken with Manaphort, so we have

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>no public verification on that Darsier part or that page

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in Annapolis, grad energy investor and former resident of Moscow

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 1>traveled to that city in early July to deliver a

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>speech at the university. Dasier says he met with two

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 1>top Kremlin Kremlin operatives that's discussed bribes and working to

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>lift economic sanctions. Page testified under oath he had never

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>met or spoken with either of them, and he filed

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 1>libel suits. Anyway, bottom line is there's no verification of

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>any of it. But that's what was paid for, and

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.599
<v Speaker 1>that was what was used as the basis for a

0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>fiser warrant and never thought in my lifetime, I just

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>really roll along. Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred nine four one, Shawn,

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>if you want to be a part of the problem.

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people are asking, all right, let me go.

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>This is a great question. Arnold and Georgia. Arnold, how

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>are you welcome to the program. I'm glad you called listen.

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Uh my theory, Well, this is what happened to me.

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>The government can keep you going as long as they

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>want to until you're completely broke, whether you're guilty or not.

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>And I've been in that position. I know you're talking about.

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>They have endless streams of money, have an endless supply

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 1>of money, and they can always postpone your court date. Listen.

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I know people that have been literally sent into bankruptcy

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>because of lawsuits, legal actions against them, whatever I mean.

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>And and it does raise actually a fair question. Is

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 1>there a two tier justice system between those that can

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>afford the expensive lawyers and those that can Well, there

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>definitely is. I had come into bankruptcy thinking, if you're

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not guilty, I have nothing to lose and

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>everything will come back. But it doesn't work that way. Well,

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I've seen this happen in numerous instances what you're describing.

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And so in other words, all right, you mean I'll

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>get I'll get away with this, is it, I'll make

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>it go away? Yeah, people do that all the time.

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, if people get sued all the time and

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>they give in the lawsuits that way, how much? All right,

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a grand versus you know, a half a million dollars,

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, ten years later and all the aggravation that

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>goes with it. My case, it was a it was

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>a case of losing part of my life, you know,

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>being sent away. What did you do? No matter what?

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>So you didn't have the money for the attorneys, you know,

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I had some money for the attorneys, and

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I got some from my parents also, and I was

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>highly played, you know, agent for as far as the

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>government work. But there's just nothing that you can do

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 1>about it. M hmm. And it was the same as

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>General Flynn. Um. I don't know what the reasons are

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I have. I'm not sure if I suspect something else

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>is behind the General Flint thing. They don't. If it's

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily General Flynn that they wanted, it could be

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>someone else that like in my case, they wanted someone else,

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>And I wasn't gonna say anything about it. I mean,

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>even though they weren't guilty either, you don't want to

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>involve them because it's just you don't just be going

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>around in circles. Yeah, uh, I don't look, assuming you're innocent.

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. I

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know what it is. But I will tell you this,

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>We've had a year worth of a media that's hysterical

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and unhinged and conspiracy theories one after another and no

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 1>evidence at all. But we have evidence in the issues

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>we've been covering, and a lot of it will continue.

0:15:50.200 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>On the other side. Information download Sean Hannity and the

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>breaking news you might have missed today. That's Sean's Insider Information.

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Hannity is on right now, alright now, till the top

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>of the Sean if you want to be a part

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of the program. There's a lot of news out There's

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>so much like happening all at one time. It's pretty amazing. Um.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I as I read the news every damn

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>wondering at what point is this all like information overload

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 1>for people? And then it gets to be too much

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and people can't understand that there's different things going on.

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>For example, Um, you've got a bombshell email here with

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Susan Rice suggesting Comy may have misled Congress about meetings

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>with Obama on and Russian hacking. That's to every other

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.119
<v Speaker 1>detail that we've given you. Then you got comey the

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 1>FBI agents didn't think Flynn lied. Then yeah. Now we

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.120
<v Speaker 1>started asking, well, why did Flynn agree to a plea

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>deal that said that he lied to the FBI. Then

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 1>we're not even talking about I think the main crux

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 1>of that, which is, all right, he was supposedly talking

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to his soon to be counterpart because he was going

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to be the n s A director and that would

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.880
<v Speaker 1>be a normal process for any incoming person in that position.

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>And then of course the intelligence community they did nothing

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.959
<v Speaker 1>wrong by picking up Russia is a hostile state against

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the United States, so they picked up the phone call.

0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>But then the normal practices of minimization of an American

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 1>that they weren't practiced in that particular case, they didn't minimize.

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.199
<v Speaker 1>They didn't and they unmasked Michael Flynn, and then they

0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.679
<v Speaker 1>leaked for intelligence. Then they had a full transcript of

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 1>everything that was said, and they go in and they

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 1>interview him. Well, that's like a perjury trap with illegally

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.120
<v Speaker 1>obtained information, and I don't I don't know why Michael Flynn.

0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 1>General Flynn went along with that, and I suspect they said, well,

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll probably go after you and your family and your

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>businesses for the last twenty years and and either take

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>this deal it's the best deal you're gonna get her.

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Forget it. And that happens too, Susan Rice memo implicating Obama.

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>He said, to do it by the book. That is

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the strangest email. Note to self, we did nothing wrong.

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Note to self, we are following by the book. That's

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty odd. It's one of the more bizarre things i've

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>i've actually ever heard. Now we have Joe Degenneva is

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 1>out there. He's talking about the FISA memo. He said,

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna see the Democratic memo. It's gonna be heavily

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 1>edited by the FBI and the Department of Justice and

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the c i A. And he said the most important

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.400
<v Speaker 1>part of the story is that Odd Rosenstein and Christopher

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Ray wrote a letter to the White House Council Don

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.879
<v Speaker 1>McGann that they could not agree to the publication of

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.639
<v Speaker 1>the Shift memo because it contained national security and law

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>enforcement concerns. Now, if you listen to the media, they're

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 1>telling you, oh, no, President Trump is the one that

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.400
<v Speaker 1>said no to this. No, it actually wasn't President Trump.

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.160
<v Speaker 1>It was the FBI and the Department of Justice saying

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 1>no to releasing the memo. And the most important part

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of that letter is when it says law enforcement concerns, well,

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 1>that means that there's a criminal investigation under day underway,

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and release of some information in the memo by Schiff,

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, in some capacity, would impact some investigation. I

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 1>wonder who they're investigating. The answer is pretty clear, because

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>they're investigating the people at the FBI and the d

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.719
<v Speaker 1>o J who provided false information to the fis accord

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>over a number of years. Here four separate times every

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.360
<v Speaker 1>ninety days, you gotta redo this more, this warrant, four

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>separate times. We got a story out today BuzzFeed. If

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 1>you remember as apparently working with others, remember they released

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the the dossier contents great pieces I mentioned in the

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 1>last half hour by Rowan Scarborough. None of it verified zip,

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 1>none of it. But apparently there's been six months a

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 1>secret mission to corroborate various claims in the Trump Russia

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 1>dossier that was assembled by Christopher Steele. So that's that's

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna be interesting to watch others now try and corroborate.

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I wander that I think they're still looking for videos

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.720
<v Speaker 1>of hookers in the rich Carlton in Moscow urinating on

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a bed. Uh Cody Sheer there's a report on Breitbart

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Today is scouring Europe for the fabled Trump Pepe tape.

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't make that up, it says Cody Sheriff. Shadowy

0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 1>former tabloid journalists long been closely associate it with various

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Clinton scandals, traveling across Europe for more than six months

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 1>in an effort to secure purported evidence of compromising material

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 1>possessed by the Russians related to President Donald Trump. I

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.400
<v Speaker 1>guess the next thing we're gonna have is photos shopped,

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, pictures of Donald Trump. Ah, see there it is.

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like the tax returns. We've found them anyway,

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 1>so apparently they're still looking for them. And then, of

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.000
<v Speaker 1>course we have the issue of Sid Blumenthal. What was

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.439
<v Speaker 1>his what was his role in all of this? You

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>know now that we have wanted admission that a Clinton associate,

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Wiener is an op ed that he published last

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>week in the Washington Post top State Department officials served

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 1>under former President Obama administration, publicly confirming he passed on

0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>information from Clinton operatives to the British by Christopher Steele

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that was put in the dossier that got the what

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Visor warrant Anyway, he's a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 1>State for International law enforcement, he wrote. He wrote that

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.720
<v Speaker 1>he had a friendly relationship with Steele, and then he

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>goes on to say that, you know, Steal's dossier had

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>all this information and so many sensational claims. But anyway,

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 1>more importantly, Fox News reports that former Secretary of State

0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton's twenty sixteen campaign and the d n C

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:31.359
<v Speaker 1>retained Fusion GPS through that d C law firms Perkins

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 1>uh Cooy's I think it's what it's called. They paid

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>this law firm upwards of maybe twelve million dollars. It's

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>unclear exactly how much money went to the dossier. And anyway,

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Wayner writes in this op ed in the Post that

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>he served in the State Department in the nineties before

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>leaving for private practice. He met Steele. They became friends

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and nine, and in when Weiner returned

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to the State Department, he wrote that he began passing

0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>on more than a hundred of Steels reports or passing

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 1>them on with Russian experts at the State Department over

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:11.120
<v Speaker 1>two year span. Pretty interesting. And then he also said

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.840
<v Speaker 1>he met with Steele in the summer seen to review

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the information contained in the Trump dossier so he could

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 1>alert the State Department, and then he prepared a two

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:23.240
<v Speaker 1>page summary after reviewing the dossier, and then he shared

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:28.200
<v Speaker 1>it with Victoria's new landers, a State Department diplomat, and

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 1>she directed him to share it with then Secretary of

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 1>State John Kerry. And it gets more disturbing because around

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the same time, Winer said he connected with his old

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 1>friend Sydney Vicious Bluementhal. It was a long time you

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.480
<v Speaker 1>know Clinton operative, and he wrote that he and Bluementhal

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 1>discussed Steele's report, and the Clinton operative gave him notes

0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 1>from a journalist he didn't know, and Winner was referring

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.159
<v Speaker 1>to Cody Shearer, the long time Clinton ally who was

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>never a journalist, but rather someone deeply connected to doing

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Clinton's dirty war behind the scenes. Weekly sit Standard described

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:06.960
<v Speaker 1>him as one of Hillary Clinton's sketchiest supporters that was

0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Conservative Tribute. Anyway, sheers second dossier contain many

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.199
<v Speaker 1>of the exact same claims as Steals dossier, so it

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a supposed so that basically it's all coming from

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the same sources. Some of this information was funneled to

0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.680
<v Speaker 1>steal by Clinton operatives. He just throws it in there.

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>What does he care if he verifies that or not.

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 1>He's getting paid a lot of money. But what we're seeing,

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 1>as Monica Crowley wrote yesterday in The Hill, is a

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:38.919
<v Speaker 1>federal abusive Obama Obama's watch, and I think when we

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:41.119
<v Speaker 1>get to the bottom of it, is unprecedented. And then

0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 1>add Susan Rice and that component to it, and this

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>bizarre email to self, We're great, We're doing it by

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the book self, just unbelievable. Tell you. The biggest outrage

0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of the week, though, all these media outlets that literally

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:02.639
<v Speaker 1>trying to romantics is North Korea. Well, I get to

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.679
<v Speaker 1>bother you at some point. I don't know what it

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>is about the left and how they just they just

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:11.160
<v Speaker 1>think that if we're just nicer to them, they're gonna

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:15.639
<v Speaker 1>be nicer to us. I've never understood that. So you

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:20.120
<v Speaker 1>have the opening ceremony in South Korea on Friday night.

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 1>The media echo chamber goes into full gear, heaping praise

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:29.359
<v Speaker 1>on Kim Jong UN's sister athletes from the North and

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>South Korea marching on the same team, waving reunification flags.

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:37.160
<v Speaker 1>More history just a few seats away. Kim Jong UN's

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>sister right there behind the Vice president. She's on hand

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 1>for the Olympics as well. In a historic moment, South

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Korean President Moon Jay inn shook the hand of Kim

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Yo jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.199
<v Speaker 1>The sister of Kim Jong un, shook hands warmly with

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the South Korean president and the v I P box

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 1>at the Olympic opening ceremonies. But North Korea is stealing

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:01.159
<v Speaker 1>much of the limelights. Kim John and sister landed at

0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Incheon Airport earlier since day three days at the world's

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 1>media running after the sister of North Korea leader Kim jongn.

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>And still we know very little about the woman who

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 1>has stolen the headlines at the piong Chang went to Olympics.

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 1>How about we know this, you know, to the Avanka

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Trump of North Korea as they were describing her and

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:24.639
<v Speaker 1>all these other accolades thrown her way. I'm stunned by

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>what happened. See and then was the worst of all

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.879
<v Speaker 1>of them, Kim Jong UN's sisters stealing the show at

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the Winter Olympics. She didn't say anything. New York Times

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.680
<v Speaker 1>even acknowledged that without a word, only flashing smiles. Kim

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Jong UN's sister outflank Vice President Mike Pence in diplomacy

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the Avanka Trump, the Washington Post says, of North Korea,

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and it goes on from there. Um, did anyone in

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:53.919
<v Speaker 1>the media point out that she's the minister of propaganda

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>of one of the most brutal dictatorships in modern history.

0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I guess they they have to know it. I assume

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they know something about what's going on over there, because

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not that hard to find out if you do

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:10.360
<v Speaker 1>a little research. Then they go after the vice president

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 1>because he didn't shake her hand. Okay, the woman they're

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 1>applauding is the official director of propaganda. This is a

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 1>government that has murdered around four hundred thousand political prisoners

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and what many have called concentration camps that have been

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:31.359
<v Speaker 1>in existence since between eighty and a hundred and twenty

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 1>thousand people are still imprisoned in those camps, and that

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:39.919
<v Speaker 1>includes men, women, and children. UN report over two hundred

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>thousand people from around the world. They've just simply disappeared

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 1>in North Korea. But she has a nice smile, And

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:51.920
<v Speaker 1>don't forget the three Americans are currently being held hostage

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>in the rogue state. We forget that part, or that

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Kim Jong un and his regime are also responsible for

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the recent death of Erican otto warm Beer. He was imprisoned,

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>he was sentenced to hard labor why for allegedly stealing

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a poster. And on top of that, if you look

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:13.160
<v Speaker 1>at North Korea while they're firing their missiles over Japan

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and threatening the continental United States. In Guam, well they're

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 1>currently starving the people. Roughly thirty percent of the population

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:26.400
<v Speaker 1>is starving in that state. Oh while the little despot

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Kim Jong un lives a life of luxury and his

0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 1>sister enjoys a prime seat at the opening games of

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:36.840
<v Speaker 1>this year's at Winter Olympics. Anyway, in the mainstream media

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>praising them, it's pretty disgraceful. And this is where I

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 1>get into this whole issue about I don't understand the

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:46.600
<v Speaker 1>mindset of the left in this country. I don't understand

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 1>anybody that could actually make an argument that it was

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a good idea to give this this guy's father three

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars and energy and we just got a promise

0:28:56.160 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 1>that he's never gonna build nuclear weapons. Will verify all

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 1>of this and didn't verification never happens, And here we

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 1>are years later, and he's got nukes. Now he's building

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 1>intercontinental ballistic missiles, and now he's talking about taking out

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>American cities. And then he's firing and test firing missiles

0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 1>over Japan and near Guam. And then but everybody wants

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 1>to suck up to a sister. And then one point

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 1>seven billion dollars in cash by Obama to iron the

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 1>same Malas who have been chanting death to America, burning

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 1>American and Israeli flags and death to Israel. It's unbelievable.

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:42.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, if if you're finding out, who would ever

0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's a good idea. Look, well, if we give

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you one point seven billion dollars, you've gotta promise us

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that you're not gonna build nuclear weapons. We can't tolerate

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a nuclear arm durant. But there's a mindset that thinks

0:29:56.120 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 1>that I think I assume they think that that's gonna work.

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Now E really believe So I assume that that Neville

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Chamberlain believed that he really had peace in his time

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:11.680
<v Speaker 1>through the prism of history looked pretty stupid, but I

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>guess at the time he thought that. Yeah, I really

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 1>have negotiated a piece for our people. Didn't work out

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>that way. I did not like the new Churchill movie,

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 1>by the way, for a lot of reasons. I did

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 1>watch it, and I've read a lot about Winston Churchill.

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:29.959
<v Speaker 1>Love him as a historical figure. The biggest problem is

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>that they want to portray him in the worst possible light.

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 1>All Right, Jay Seculo, at the top of the hour,

0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll get the latest with him. Also, we'll be checking

0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in with Byron York. You know, even Trump hater Peter

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Struck didn't think that General Flynn lied. Unbelievable there is

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 1>if anybody's out there can't see through the media obsession

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>with some issues. I mean, just watch some of your

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 1>local cable shows. It is so bad out there in

0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 1>terms of what they don't report, what they should report,

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 1>what they stay away from reporting, how wrong they report,

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:11.959
<v Speaker 1>and how conspiratorial they are, and what an extension they

0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 1>are of all things liberal. You just can see it

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:16.520
<v Speaker 1>like it's I don't know, plain is the nose on

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 1>your face? It's so obvious. Alright, gotta take a break.

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll check in with Ja Sekulo later on. We will

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>have much more on the news of the day, and

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>we'll get a lot of your calls in nine for

0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:30.080
<v Speaker 1>one Shawn, a toll free telephone number. About hours before

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the president elect was sworn in his president, Susan Rice,

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the outgoing National Security Advisor, sends an email to herself

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>documenting President Obama's concern and guidance regarding Russian interference in

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the presidential election, the Steele dossier, according to Graham and Grassley,

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and information with the Trump's incoming team from a meeting

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that took place on January seventeen. Now, the January fifth

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 1>date's interesting because the very next day and James Comey

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.600
<v Speaker 1>was there. The very next day, James Comy meets with

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the President elect and talks about the Stele dossier, among

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>other things, and the Dave of four, Susan Rice writes,

0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the email is the renewal date for the FIES warrant

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:06.719
<v Speaker 1>against Carter Page. Here's the problem, the problem, and nobody

0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>knows what this was. I mean, at the end of

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the day, the only person that knows what she was

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>doing on this is Susan Rice. So she's gonna have

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to give an account for that. But folks, I mean,

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>look at the facts. You always tell law students get

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 1>familiar with the facts, understand the timelines, and there are

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 1>multiple intersecting timelines on this where they come into the intersection.

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Whether it's the FISA warrant, whether it is the interview,

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:32.480
<v Speaker 1>whether it's this meaning, whether it's then the meeting with

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 1>uh uh the President elect and James call me, whether

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it's the change of the Executive Order and how they

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:40.240
<v Speaker 1>distribute intelligence information. I want to get all this would

0:32:40.240 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 1>be a fascinating study, and say November through February of

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:49.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen, seventeen, what took place. I want to know

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 1>what happened. I want to know what happened. Hour to

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Hannity Show eight nine one, Shawn is told pretty

0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>telephone number, you want to be a part of the program.

0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>That was Jay sekil Why don't you explain this a

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 1>more detail exactly what you're saying. So, Sean, here's the

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>thing I think that's important for people to understand. So

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 1>this meeting takes place on January five, right, so they

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 1>already had the first series of FIZ and warrants. Understand though,

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the two of the five signatures on those FIS and

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 1>warrant applications are at this meeting, So that includes the course,

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>it includes James Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 1>So they have this meeting on January five to brief

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the president on the Russian investigation, and the President and

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Susan Wrights in this email that she does two and

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 1>a half weeks after that event, says, the president, you know,

0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure the law was being fought, but

0:33:34.160 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 1>also was concerned about what we should or should not

0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 1>share with the incoming administration. But remember this, on January five,

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 1>they have this this meeting with President Obama, James Comey,

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Sally Yates, Vice President Biden, and UH and UH Susan Rice.

0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 1>The very next day, James Comy flies up to New

0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>York meets with Donald Trump, the President elect, and reviews

0:33:56.080 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 1>with him intelligence matters and briefs him on the Steel dossier.

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:04.800
<v Speaker 1>So what grass Lee and Graham have asked for, which

0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 1>makes sense here, is why in the world would you literally,

0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 1>as the new president is being sworn in and the

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.439
<v Speaker 1>inaugural festivities are well underway, parade done, at the you're

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:18.680
<v Speaker 1>getting ready for the swearing in, why in the world

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:21.279
<v Speaker 1>would you do this memo in the last moment of

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the last day as your last act, and there's only

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 1>one reason you're covering for something that either somebody was

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 1>at the meeting they were concerned with leak I don't know,

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:32.319
<v Speaker 1>James Comby's leaked, or they were somebody saw them at

0:34:32.320 --> 0:34:34.720
<v Speaker 1>this meeting, or they were trying to cover their tracks.

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't know. I don't know. But it's just if

0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you look at the way the facts lay out, including

0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the fact that this memo comes the day after the fires,

0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:48.319
<v Speaker 1>a warrant was renewed by the Fives accord. So this

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:50.360
<v Speaker 1>just raises a whole I mean, I think what grass

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:54.799
<v Speaker 1>Lee and Grandma said is right. It's odd and and

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and pretty much. Yeah, and you like odd and unusual

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:00.879
<v Speaker 1>as the words they It's just to see what it says,

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 1>y a. But it makes absolutely no sense. Is she

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:06.839
<v Speaker 1>doing this at the behest of Obama? Does this now

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.360
<v Speaker 1>bring Obama into it? In other words, what did he

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 1>know about the fires and what did he know about

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 1>all of this with with the dossier, etcetera. Well, look

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>what she says in the email. That part of it's redacted,

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of course, so we don't know all of it, but

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it said President Obama began the conversation by stressing his

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:29.360
<v Speaker 1>is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities. Quote

0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:32.240
<v Speaker 1>by the book, the President stress that he's not asking

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:35.720
<v Speaker 1>about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective,

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 1>reiterated that our law enforcement team and he should proceed

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:40.799
<v Speaker 1>as it normally would buy the book, and then the

0:35:40.840 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 1>President said that he wants to be sure that as

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:46.319
<v Speaker 1>we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to

0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 1>ascertain if there's any reason that we cannot share information

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.239
<v Speaker 1>fully as it relates to Russia. In other words, are

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:57.400
<v Speaker 1>we not going to tell the incoming administration information we

0:35:57.480 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 1>have about Russia? That's what he said there. I mean,

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 1>that's what she's saying that the president of the United States.

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Then President Obama said, that tells your whole story. This

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 1>is the incoming president of the United States, and heater

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:11.279
<v Speaker 1>withhold information from him. Yep, he's the president elect. Where

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:12.840
<v Speaker 1>do you think, how do we get to the bottom

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:14.839
<v Speaker 1>of what it actually means? I mean, does this now

0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:18.239
<v Speaker 1>open up an area of investigation into you know, other

0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:21.120
<v Speaker 1>emails that were sent back and forth text messages. Do

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:23.480
<v Speaker 1>we now have to wait another year to get information

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:27.080
<v Speaker 1>from Susan Rice and and others that might have been

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:30.279
<v Speaker 1>involved in did Comy lie when Comy said that, you

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.719
<v Speaker 1>know it only met with the president on X occasions,

0:36:32.719 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 1>not mentioning this one. You know, I don't know what

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Comy did or did not do. This is what I

0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 1>do know that Congress has asked Susan Rice a series

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 1>of questions that they want an answer to. I think

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the date it's February. They want a response in writing

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:49.719
<v Speaker 1>to these series of questions. Because, as as Grassley and

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Graham said, this is unusual, to say the least, odd

0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>and we do know. And again I think it's worth

0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:59.000
<v Speaker 1>stressing Sean, two of the five participants were people that

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 1>signed off on the five the warrants, which is an

0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:03.640
<v Speaker 1>unusual in and of itself, considering that they were the

0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:05.800
<v Speaker 1>FBI director and then the deputy attorneys are in the

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:08.000
<v Speaker 1>United States. But there they were, and they're in the

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Oval Office for this meeting. And why is it that

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Susan Rice waited over two weeks to put this in

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:16.759
<v Speaker 1>writing to memorialize this, So you're right, it is it

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:18.879
<v Speaker 1>is a sense. It's to cover their tracks. I don't

0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:21.000
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what the tracks they're trying to cover are,

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's where Congress, through its oversight, needs

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to move and move swiftly, and it just looks like

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:28.560
<v Speaker 1>they are. I want to talk a little bit about

0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the two memos that came out, the New Nest Memo

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 1>then the Grassly Grand Memo, and the Grassly Grand Memo

0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:36.759
<v Speaker 1>that was the unredacted version, which I think was very,

0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:39.960
<v Speaker 1>very revealing because at the end of the day, I

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 1>won't I won't bore the audience with given the full

0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 1>history here, but James Comey and Peter Struck writing the

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 1>exoneration of Hillary on the email server scandaled months before

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 1>they interview her and seventeen other key people. That that,

0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:55.719
<v Speaker 1>to me is pretty unbelievable. I've never heard of an

0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 1>investigation working that way. This is after, of course she

0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:02.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty much dole or the primary against Bernie was rigged,

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:06.520
<v Speaker 1>all right. So she's funneling money through her campaign through

0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a law firm as the d n C that Donno

0:38:09.239 --> 0:38:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Brazil says she was controlling the money of meeting Hillary

0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:15.280
<v Speaker 1>through the same law firm. They pay for a Russian

0:38:15.400 --> 0:38:18.719
<v Speaker 1>dossier full of salacious information and We're even told in

0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the Grassly grand memo that it's Russian government information, but

0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:24.640
<v Speaker 1>put that aside. All right, so it's bad enough, she's

0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:28.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna pay for information. Nobody verified it. Fusion GPS didn't

0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 1>verify it, the Clinton campaign didn't verify it. Nobody apparently

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 1>verified it. But then it gets worse. Then the Grassly

0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Graham memo goes on to say that the bulk of

0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 1>evidence presented to acquire or the FISA warrant against Carter

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Page was the dossier. Nobody had verified the dossier. And

0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:50.799
<v Speaker 1>then we find out the unverified dossier. By the way,

0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:54.040
<v Speaker 1>even James Comey said to Donald Trump, this is in October,

0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:57.000
<v Speaker 1>they're issuing the warrant, but he said in January it

0:38:57.040 --> 0:39:01.399
<v Speaker 1>was still unverified and salacious, right, So that's that's three

0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:05.680
<v Speaker 1>months earlier. Now, Um, he's apparently part of a group

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:07.640
<v Speaker 1>presenting it to a FIS a court to get a warrant,

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.359
<v Speaker 1>and the only thing we get is a footnote that

0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:14.279
<v Speaker 1>says maybe political in nature, when everybody knew Clinton bought

0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and paid for it. You know, well, I thought with Michaelissenoffs,

0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:21.400
<v Speaker 1>it was also interesting that they based his statement. The

0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:24.240
<v Speaker 1>press account was also in the in the application evidently,

0:39:24.360 --> 0:39:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and he so I just based that off the Steel dossier.

0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:29.400
<v Speaker 1>So it was it was evidence verifying its own evidence.

0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was the same. They were using the

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 1>same information to verify the same information. So with circular

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:36.800
<v Speaker 1>in nature. I mean, I think if I was the

0:39:36.880 --> 0:39:38.600
<v Speaker 1>FIES a judge, I wouldn't be too happy about any

0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:42.319
<v Speaker 1>of this. And when you look at the what has

0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:44.839
<v Speaker 1>taken place here, I think that and I think this

0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:47.960
<v Speaker 1>is where where the questions line is. I don't think

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 1>there's any question that absent the Steele dossier, there would

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:53.520
<v Speaker 1>have been no FIES and warrant even sought. That's according

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:56.160
<v Speaker 1>to UH on the Nunas memo. That's according to what

0:39:56.960 --> 0:39:59.399
<v Speaker 1>UH is going to be was in the transcripts from

0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the testament one from Ron Rosenstein. Now here's what's interesting.

0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 1>You have the the atom Ship memo, the Democratic response memo,

0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 1>which has gone back to the UH Senate House Democrats

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to work with the FBI to get it redacted the

0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:15.120
<v Speaker 1>way it UH so it won't give up sources and

0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:17.200
<v Speaker 1>methods and there and and Ship was very quick to

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:19.440
<v Speaker 1>say they'll do that. I think they were trying to

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:21.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of one step away or two steps out to

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:24.719
<v Speaker 1>step the president. I think he outstepped them by just

0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:26.919
<v Speaker 1>sending it back. They were hoping he would send it back,

0:40:27.000 --> 0:40:30.840
<v Speaker 1>either not send it back or send it back redacted. Um,

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think what he did instead, which I think

0:40:33.600 --> 0:40:35.920
<v Speaker 1>was the smarter and more appropriate roses here, it is

0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:38.200
<v Speaker 1>back to you. You get this cleared with the FBI

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and work it out, and you saw a very mild

0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 1>atom ship in response to that, A very mild atom

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:47.520
<v Speaker 1>ship in response to that. But look, I don't think

0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:49.160
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be anything. I mean I haven't I haven't

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:51.200
<v Speaker 1>seen it, so I don't know, but I will tell

0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:54.280
<v Speaker 1>you this. I am working right now. I'm putting together

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:57.719
<v Speaker 1>a complete timeline of everything Sean that took place. And

0:40:57.760 --> 0:40:59.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not over that long a period of time. It's

0:40:59.680 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna be four months. And I think when you

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:06.600
<v Speaker 1>see it in a timeline, it's gonna be breath taking.

0:41:06.920 --> 0:41:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Our audience is following this closely. Yeah, so you've got

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.920
<v Speaker 1>in the summer of we know they're attempting to get

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.600
<v Speaker 1>FIES warrants and they're not successful, right, we mean, they

0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:19.280
<v Speaker 1>make at least two attempts, they don't get FIES warrants,

0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's very rarely where they don't get them. But

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:23.279
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get them here. They come back in with

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the dossier, they get the fives and warrant on the dossier.

0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Then they have the interviews. You had the interviews with

0:41:30.600 --> 0:41:33.239
<v Speaker 1>General Flynn with the FBI. That's all taking place in

0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:36.120
<v Speaker 1>this period of time. Now we have the meeting, right

0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:37.840
<v Speaker 1>do you have a meeting on January five that we

0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:40.200
<v Speaker 1>now know about with two of the five signatures on

0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the fives warrant they're briefing the President of the United States,

0:41:43.160 --> 0:41:47.480
<v Speaker 1>President Obama. The next day, what happens President uh, the

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:51.080
<v Speaker 1>president elect, it's briefed by In this particular case, James

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:53.719
<v Speaker 1>called me the FBI director and the dossiers brought up

0:41:53.760 --> 0:41:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and he said it's unverified and silastious, and you're not

0:41:56.280 --> 0:42:00.480
<v Speaker 1>under investigation. Then the FBI comes back in and interviews uh,

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:04.000
<v Speaker 1>General Flynn again. And and there's evidence now that FBI

0:42:04.040 --> 0:42:05.640
<v Speaker 1>did not think he was not telling the truth. They

0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:08.200
<v Speaker 1>just think he he was confused. That's what that's according

0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:10.759
<v Speaker 1>to James called his own testimony. So this is all

0:42:10.800 --> 0:42:12.960
<v Speaker 1>happening within months. I mean, you've got all of this

0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:15.600
<v Speaker 1>happening month. Then don't forget the executive order that was

0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:18.399
<v Speaker 1>changed the year before, right at the end of the term.

0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:20.680
<v Speaker 1>See that all of these end of the term stuff

0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 1>happening and there's really no great explanation for any of it.

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Then how do we get to the point where a

0:42:25.960 --> 0:42:29.080
<v Speaker 1>special counsel is appointed in this whole thing? And and

0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:32.600
<v Speaker 1>where are we in in that whole mess? Well, there's

0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a you know, here's how it works. So the Attorney

0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:38.200
<v Speaker 1>General is supposed to make an evaluation whether this investigation

0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:41.120
<v Speaker 1>can be done internally or needs a special counsel. I

0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:43.320
<v Speaker 1>said when you add, now, if you want to continue

0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:47.279
<v Speaker 1>the timeline out and during that same summer of you

0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:50.960
<v Speaker 1>also had the Fusion GPS matter with the Steel dossier.

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:53.399
<v Speaker 1>You had the number four at the Justice Department, Bruce

0:42:53.480 --> 0:42:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Or's wife working for Fusion GPS assigned specifically to the

0:42:57.760 --> 0:43:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Russian dossier to work with Steele. He is meeting with them.

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:04.520
<v Speaker 1>By the way, uh Wars meeting with Steele, Steele becomes

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the basis of his His dossier becomes the basis of

0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the of the warrant. Then he leaks it to the press.

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:15.040
<v Speaker 1>The FBI says they pull back their formal relationship with him,

0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:18.120
<v Speaker 1>although Bruce wore still meeting and talking with him, whose

0:43:18.160 --> 0:43:21.400
<v Speaker 1>wife is working for Fusion GPS. So this is a

0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 1>shell game they played here, they moved, They just kind

0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:25.920
<v Speaker 1>of moving the It's almost like remember the game whack Up.

0:43:26.040 --> 0:43:29.120
<v Speaker 1>You hit the mold and hit one, and what it

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:30.719
<v Speaker 1>is you You kind of hit one here and boom,

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:33.600
<v Speaker 1>another one comes up. So I think what you have

0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to do, what I'm gonna do is put together a

0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>full timeline on this to get an understanding. All right,

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:41.400
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta make this timeline out. Um, I wouldn't

0:43:41.400 --> 0:43:45.279
<v Speaker 1>mind putting it on TV. Number one, number two, I

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:47.640
<v Speaker 1>think it is an important time. But the number three,

0:43:48.120 --> 0:43:50.839
<v Speaker 1>how dangerous is it? You know? Two things have happened here.

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:53.200
<v Speaker 1>We spent over a year with no evidence of Trump

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Russia collusion, and every media outlet breathlessly hysterically reporting this

0:43:57.920 --> 0:44:01.040
<v Speaker 1>again and again and again and again. Okay, then we've

0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:05.360
<v Speaker 1>got instances where Hillary did pay for Russian lies about

0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:08.400
<v Speaker 1>an opposition candidate. And then it gets worse because that

0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:11.000
<v Speaker 1>was used as the bulk of information to acquire a

0:44:11.080 --> 0:44:15.520
<v Speaker 1>fiz of warrant against the opposition party candidate against one

0:44:15.520 --> 0:44:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of his members and then that was used to also

0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:21.439
<v Speaker 1>spying an incoming administration. Now, to me, when you put

0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:23.520
<v Speaker 1>all this together and then you add in there the

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, struck and and page texts, and the fact

0:44:27.760 --> 0:44:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that Andrew McCabe is involved, and then the exoneration before investigation,

0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:35.359
<v Speaker 1>it seems like everything was fixed just for this. How

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:38.200
<v Speaker 1>do you ever straighten out that if we can't have

0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:41.520
<v Speaker 1>elections in this country where bought and paid for Russian

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:45.160
<v Speaker 1>lines don't raise enough eyebrows for people were in trouble. Well, look,

0:44:45.200 --> 0:44:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean you hit the kind of the nail on

0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the head there, and and the fact of the matter

0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:52.800
<v Speaker 1>is nobody knows, none of us know the full nature

0:44:52.800 --> 0:44:54.920
<v Speaker 1>and scope of what's going on here. I mean, there

0:44:54.920 --> 0:44:57.000
<v Speaker 1>are individuals that now and they may, by the way,

0:44:57.040 --> 0:44:59.160
<v Speaker 1>some of these government officials may not know the ins

0:44:59.160 --> 0:45:01.719
<v Speaker 1>and outs of everything that's involved here. But I think

0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 1>what has to happen now is you look at this

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and try to piece together what is taking place, what

0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:10.400
<v Speaker 1>is transpiring. You ask yourself what was the initial impetus,

0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the cause for all of this, and then how did

0:45:12.160 --> 0:45:14.239
<v Speaker 1>it play out over time? You know, we're leaving out

0:45:14.280 --> 0:45:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the leaking by James Comey of the conversation you have

0:45:17.760 --> 0:45:19.200
<v Speaker 1>with the President of the United States. That's why I'm

0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:21.640
<v Speaker 1>saying all of this has to now be I'm gonna

0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:24.000
<v Speaker 1>be meaning about this as soon as we're done laid

0:45:24.040 --> 0:45:27.520
<v Speaker 1>out in a comprehensive timeline. I mean, just a comprehensive

0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:30.400
<v Speaker 1>timeline to get a real understanding it exactly what was

0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:33.319
<v Speaker 1>at play during these critical periods. None of us know

0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:35.920
<v Speaker 1>for sure. We have hunches, ideas, but none of us

0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:37.840
<v Speaker 1>know for sure. And and look the fact that we

0:45:37.880 --> 0:45:40.239
<v Speaker 1>may never know, but it's got enough concerned that you

0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:43.399
<v Speaker 1>got Senator Grassley and Senator Graham, neither one of which

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:46.480
<v Speaker 1>are conspiratorial, that are concerned about this. Well, I think

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the fact that these committees now are releasing this information, Uh,

0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:53.640
<v Speaker 1>do we know for sure sources and methods were in

0:45:53.680 --> 0:45:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic memo? That what that the FBI sent back?

0:45:56.680 --> 0:45:59.960
<v Speaker 1>It had to be, right, Yeah, that's what that's the assumption,

0:46:00.000 --> 0:46:02.359
<v Speaker 1>and that there was concern oversources and methods, and that's

0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the basis upon which that the White House Counsel and

0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:07.880
<v Speaker 1>reviewing the documents would Will that be one reason to

0:46:07.880 --> 0:46:09.680
<v Speaker 1>send it back? I haven't seen it, so I don't know,

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:11.680
<v Speaker 1>but that's you know I'm hearing the same things you're hearing,

0:46:12.000 --> 0:46:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and that was a concern, and Adam Ship did not

0:46:13.719 --> 0:46:15.960
<v Speaker 1>seem to deny that when asked on I think it

0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:17.719
<v Speaker 1>was ABC this Week or one of the programs, maybe

0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Space the Nation. Uh, he said, no, we're gonna we'll

0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:22.680
<v Speaker 1>we'll work with him to get it resolved. Say he

0:46:22.719 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 1>did not fight that push back on that fact. You

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 1>don't hear much about that right now at all. Realized

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:29.759
<v Speaker 1>they've got to do it all right, Jay secular, We

0:46:29.800 --> 0:46:32.479
<v Speaker 1>appreciate your time as always. Eight hundred nine for one, Shawn,

0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:34.080
<v Speaker 1>toll free telephone number you want to be a part

0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:36.839
<v Speaker 1>of the program. Also coming up Byron York. He had

0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a great piece about how James Comey told Congress FBI

0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:43.120
<v Speaker 1>agents didn't think Michael Flynn lied. Well, then why would

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:44.719
<v Speaker 1>he ever admit to that? Why did we get to

0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:47.360
<v Speaker 1>that point? David Brody has written a book about the

0:46:47.400 --> 0:46:49.680
<v Speaker 1>faith of Donald Trump. Will hit that today. We have

0:46:49.680 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a great handedy tonight at nine on the Fox News Channel.

0:46:52.040 --> 0:46:54.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll continue let's hit our busy phones here. Eight hundred

0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:57.799
<v Speaker 1>nine for one Seawan is our toll free telephone number.

0:46:57.800 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 1>You want to be a part of the program, right,

0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer's and Louise Yanna, Jennifer High, how are you glad

0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:05.279
<v Speaker 1>you called? What's going on? Hey? Sean? First, I wanted

0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:06.719
<v Speaker 1>to tell you thank you for all you do for

0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:10.560
<v Speaker 1>truth and for my president. Thank you's our president. Yes,

0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:15.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not just yours, you know, I know, I know. Um.

0:47:15.680 --> 0:47:18.160
<v Speaker 1>My question is what can we do collectively as a

0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:22.320
<v Speaker 1>people to get these people like or struck page off

0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:26.080
<v Speaker 1>our dime out of my government. I can't believe they're

0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:28.640
<v Speaker 1>still there. I mean, knowing what we know now, they

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:31.279
<v Speaker 1>should all have been fired. Now there's a beginning of

0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a purging going on between people fired, being fired, resigning, moved,

0:47:36.160 --> 0:47:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and demoted. And I think it's only the beginning of

0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:40.160
<v Speaker 1>those things. I think there's gonna be a lot more

0:47:40.200 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of that. Right, they gotta go, they gotta go absolutely

0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:49.320
<v Speaker 1>offensive that they're offensive that I pay these people salaries.

0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:52.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, the fact is that if they have, if

0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you work for the FBI, you're not You're supposed to

0:47:54.680 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 1>be about the law, about equal application under the law.

0:47:59.400 --> 0:48:01.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're even talking about not only an insurance policy,

0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:03.520
<v Speaker 1>they're talking about, Oh, we don't want to piss off

0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Hillary God forbid, she wins. I mean it's it's just bizarre,

0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:13.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, thank you. It should scare you, it should.

0:48:13.719 --> 0:48:15.799
<v Speaker 1>And I don't see a lot of civil libertarians out

0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:18.080
<v Speaker 1>there and liberals out there saying this is not what

0:48:18.160 --> 0:48:21.759
<v Speaker 1>we want in this country. We don't want, you know,

0:48:21.880 --> 0:48:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Russian propaganda bought and paid for used to get FISA warrants.

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:27.000
<v Speaker 1>But by the way, we're not going to tell the

0:48:27.120 --> 0:48:31.320
<v Speaker 1>judge any of the pertinent information about the lack of

0:48:31.360 --> 0:48:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the veracity in this document, nor who paid for this document.

0:48:36.640 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Back to our phones. Thanks, Jennifer, appreciate it. Uh. John

0:48:40.680 --> 0:48:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in Massachusetts, John High, how are you glad you called Sean?

0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:46.480
<v Speaker 1>How are you so glad to talk to you? A

0:48:46.600 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 1>long time listener both of your shows? Yes, sir, what's

0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:52.560
<v Speaker 1>going on? I get a question in your opinion, in

0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:54.759
<v Speaker 1>light of all this new information has come out over

0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:57.439
<v Speaker 1>the past few weeks and months, how do you see

0:48:57.440 --> 0:49:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the smaller investigation ending? Where do you it's gott to

0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:03.120
<v Speaker 1>end at some point? You know, one of the problems

0:49:03.200 --> 0:49:07.360
<v Speaker 1>with special counsels is what we call investigative creep um.

0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, look at the case Patrick Fitzgerald going after

0:49:11.520 --> 0:49:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the Valerie plan case. He knew on

0:49:13.640 --> 0:49:15.880
<v Speaker 1>day one who would leaked the information and it was

0:49:16.000 --> 0:49:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Richard Armitage. Now he should have just shut down and said, okay,

0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I figured out who, what the who the leaker was,

0:49:22.160 --> 0:49:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and it was Richard Armitage. And then they break it

0:49:25.480 --> 0:49:28.160
<v Speaker 1>all the way down into you know, putting Scooter Libby

0:49:28.280 --> 0:49:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the squeeze on him day in and day out. Give

0:49:31.200 --> 0:49:34.000
<v Speaker 1>us information about the Vice President Cheney at the time,

0:49:34.520 --> 0:49:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and you'll go free, and then we'll go after Dick Cheney.

0:49:37.960 --> 0:49:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's an enormous amount of power. It's politicizing

0:49:41.760 --> 0:49:46.200
<v Speaker 1>political or criminalizing political differences. And they seem to have

0:49:46.560 --> 0:49:51.000
<v Speaker 1>an ending, you know, ability to move into areas that

0:49:51.160 --> 0:49:53.880
<v Speaker 1>they never would design to go into. And that's the

0:49:53.960 --> 0:49:57.080
<v Speaker 1>danger of special counsels and what that said, I think

0:49:57.120 --> 0:50:00.040
<v Speaker 1>we need one to investigate the investigators and into this

0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:03.799
<v Speaker 1>particular case. I do believe laws were broken. I do

0:50:03.880 --> 0:50:07.919
<v Speaker 1>believe that crimes were committed here, and I think those

0:50:07.920 --> 0:50:10.360
<v Speaker 1>people involved in them, you know, should pay the price.

0:50:11.239 --> 0:50:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Do believe Jeff Sessions is doing the diligence? You know,

0:50:14.880 --> 0:50:17.000
<v Speaker 1>it's hard. Look, I don't think you should have ever

0:50:17.040 --> 0:50:19.719
<v Speaker 1>recused himself number one, And I think none of this

0:50:19.840 --> 0:50:23.279
<v Speaker 1>happens had Jeff Sessions not recused himself. That's number one.

0:50:24.160 --> 0:50:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Number two, Um, he moves too slowly and it seems

0:50:28.160 --> 0:50:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to be lacking urgency. I know he's moved into the

0:50:31.040 --> 0:50:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Iranian one issue and into some other issues. But I

0:50:34.640 --> 0:50:38.879
<v Speaker 1>gotta tell you, Um, you know, I I don't see

0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:41.680
<v Speaker 1>enough happening, And if I was him, I would appoint

0:50:41.719 --> 0:50:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the special counsel now to investigate the investigators. It also

0:50:45.120 --> 0:50:47.600
<v Speaker 1>takes him out of it, and I think there's probably

0:50:48.080 --> 0:50:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, it sounds, you know, like I'm contradicting myself.

0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't want more special counsels, but things are so

0:50:53.040 --> 0:50:55.520
<v Speaker 1>bad here. I don't think there's any other way to

0:50:55.560 --> 0:50:57.640
<v Speaker 1>get to the truth on this. It's gonna be very

0:50:57.640 --> 0:51:00.480
<v Speaker 1>interesting when we get the Inspector General's report in just

0:51:00.560 --> 0:51:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks. That's gonna, I think, open up

0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:05.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people's eyes. But I don't think it's

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:08.279
<v Speaker 1>ending soon. But I think it's ending. Remember we heard

0:51:08.280 --> 0:51:11.000
<v Speaker 1>it might end by Thanksgiving, by Christmas, by the New Year,

0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:14.640
<v Speaker 1>by the end of February. Um, maybe they're wrapping it up,

0:51:14.680 --> 0:51:16.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, the big fight now. I guess it is

0:51:16.239 --> 0:51:19.280
<v Speaker 1>over you know whether or not Mueller gets to question

0:51:19.360 --> 0:51:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, and I would say the answer should be

0:51:21.239 --> 0:51:26.320
<v Speaker 1>an emphatic absolute no. I don't think you should have that. Um,

0:51:26.360 --> 0:51:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Henry is in Oklahoma next Henry High. How are you

0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:33.399
<v Speaker 1>glad you called? And welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Well, hello,

0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Mr Hannity. I just wanted to say thank you for

0:51:40.160 --> 0:51:44.279
<v Speaker 1>using Enjoy for about you made the Enjoy switch. I

0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:47.400
<v Speaker 1>did you know It's It's amazing how many people are

0:51:47.400 --> 0:51:49.120
<v Speaker 1>telling me. And if you go to enjoy dot com

0:51:49.120 --> 0:51:51.520
<v Speaker 1>slash Hannity you can do it. Look, a lot of people,

0:51:52.120 --> 0:51:54.680
<v Speaker 1>whether you smoke, cigarette, cigars, whatever you happen to do,

0:51:54.840 --> 0:51:57.360
<v Speaker 1>people just like to do that and to do it

0:51:57.440 --> 0:52:01.640
<v Speaker 1>in a way a you don't smell be Um. They

0:52:01.640 --> 0:52:03.799
<v Speaker 1>have a team of people to help you. If you're

0:52:03.800 --> 0:52:08.879
<v Speaker 1>a smoker, quit smoking and uh. In my personal opinion, UM,

0:52:08.920 --> 0:52:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's better than than what other people have

0:52:12.000 --> 0:52:15.360
<v Speaker 1>been using in the past. And for people that do smoke,

0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I recommend My personal suggestion is and you can check

0:52:18.480 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 1>with your own doctor and your own self, but I

0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:23.759
<v Speaker 1>think it's a far better product for you well, I

0:52:24.000 --> 0:52:29.600
<v Speaker 1>truly enjoy it. Um, no pun intended. I truly enjoy it. Yes,

0:52:29.680 --> 0:52:33.960

0:52:34.000 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 1>my friend just wanted to say thank you and let

0:52:35.640 --> 0:52:37.920
<v Speaker 1>your other listeners know. You know, I've smoked for forty

0:52:37.920 --> 0:52:42.680
<v Speaker 1>plush years and I just put them down almost immediately.

0:52:43.280 --> 0:52:45.800
<v Speaker 1>So look, I saw the impact that had on my parents.

0:52:45.800 --> 0:52:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I wish this product or a product like it existed

0:52:48.239 --> 0:52:52.799
<v Speaker 1>at the time. I really do. Um. Let's go to Cannon, Kentucky. Ken, Hi,

0:52:52.880 --> 0:52:56.919
<v Speaker 1>how are you glad you called? Hi? Sean? Uh? First

0:52:56.960 --> 0:52:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of all, I just like to say from our area

0:52:59.560 --> 0:53:01.960
<v Speaker 1>that since that area, we have a saying for you

0:53:02.400 --> 0:53:05.719
<v Speaker 1>that you are a great American. Well, that means you're

0:53:05.719 --> 0:53:08.640
<v Speaker 1>listening to my buddy Sean Hannity's Bill Huntingham, you're a

0:53:08.640 --> 0:53:11.400
<v Speaker 1>great American. I want a full report Donald J. Trump

0:53:11.440 --> 0:53:13.839
<v Speaker 1>is now saving the country and why these liberals want

0:53:13.840 --> 0:53:16.319
<v Speaker 1>to get him out of office. I don't know. Pretty good,

0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you are correct what I want to say, though, as

0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:22.839
<v Speaker 1>a retired law enforcement officer and I proffered many affidavits

0:53:22.920 --> 0:53:26.720
<v Speaker 1>for search warrants to see this happening through the Fiser

0:53:26.840 --> 0:53:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Corps like it is when you proffer or construct, or

0:53:31.239 --> 0:53:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you're any part of anything that would offer a fake

0:53:35.360 --> 0:53:39.239
<v Speaker 1>bossier to the Fiser court and commit a fraud upon

0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:42.839
<v Speaker 1>that court, you lose what I call credibility. If we

0:53:42.840 --> 0:53:44.920
<v Speaker 1>were to ever do that, we would go from a

0:53:44.920 --> 0:53:48.759
<v Speaker 1>police uniform to a different kind of uniform, and it

0:53:48.800 --> 0:53:52.319
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be a police uniform, it would be a prison uniform.

0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:54.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I find it hard to believe that

0:53:54.960 --> 0:53:59.400
<v Speaker 1>these people are still in existence with the FBI in

0:53:59.440 --> 0:54:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the d O jaylike they are. I can't I claim

0:54:02.239 --> 0:54:07.040
<v Speaker 1>it hard to believe. Well, listen, I I find it

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:11.720
<v Speaker 1>hard to believe. And it's really sad that this type

0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:13.840
<v Speaker 1>of thing could happen. You know, our founders and framers

0:54:13.880 --> 0:54:16.600
<v Speaker 1>they often talked about the size, the scope, the influence

0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:20.440
<v Speaker 1>of government, and in this capacity, is that the power

0:54:20.560 --> 0:54:24.640
<v Speaker 1>would corrupt them. And when you have a group of

0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:27.920
<v Speaker 1>people at the very top that seemingly feel they know

0:54:27.960 --> 0:54:29.799
<v Speaker 1>what's past and they're not going to apply the law

0:54:29.840 --> 0:54:32.279
<v Speaker 1>equally to Hillary, They're gonna give her a pass and

0:54:32.320 --> 0:54:35.120
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna put the fix in and then they're gonna

0:54:35.160 --> 0:54:37.759
<v Speaker 1>go to a FISA chord after they've been denied at

0:54:37.840 --> 0:54:41.120
<v Speaker 1>least once, maybe two times, and try and get a

0:54:41.200 --> 0:54:44.160
<v Speaker 1>warrant so they can get a sneak peek into what's

0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:48.600
<v Speaker 1>going on in an opposition party's campaign. That's problematic. And

0:54:48.640 --> 0:54:51.319
<v Speaker 1>to use the other candidates information, not tell the court

0:54:51.360 --> 0:54:55.479
<v Speaker 1>about it, not verify the salacious information, and that's bad enough,

0:54:56.040 --> 0:54:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and do it all because they want to impact an election.

0:54:59.239 --> 0:55:01.200
<v Speaker 1>That's what this can is down to. That's why this

0:55:01.280 --> 0:55:04.600
<v Speaker 1>is so big. Watergate, Yeah, that was about impacting an

0:55:04.600 --> 0:55:09.040
<v Speaker 1>election by stealing your opponents research, okay, a third rate

0:55:09.080 --> 0:55:12.760
<v Speaker 1>burglary and then covering it up. This is far more sophisticated,

0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:17.879
<v Speaker 1>far more dangerous, because you're using the powerful tools of intelligence,

0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the powerful tools within the FBI and the d o

0:55:21.120 --> 0:55:26.399
<v Speaker 1>j IS as the mechanism to pull this off. Even

0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:30.800
<v Speaker 1>one one final comment here, Sean is what I find

0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:34.359
<v Speaker 1>hard to believe, even beyond that, every night I watch

0:55:34.400 --> 0:55:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you on television and I see all the events that

0:55:37.560 --> 0:55:41.120
<v Speaker 1>have taken place through the d n C and Hillary Clinton.

0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, anybody can look up the definition online

0:55:45.760 --> 0:55:49.799
<v Speaker 1>or wherever their Webster's dictionary of organized crime. If that

0:55:49.920 --> 0:55:54.040
<v Speaker 1>is an organized crime. I've never seen organized crime. And

0:55:54.080 --> 0:55:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to think that the mafia was the largest organization in

0:55:57.120 --> 0:56:01.840
<v Speaker 1>this country that represented organized crime. That would be like

0:56:01.960 --> 0:56:05.480
<v Speaker 1>shrouds boy. Compared to the DNC and all the weaponizing

0:56:05.520 --> 0:56:09.040
<v Speaker 1>they've done within the agencies of our federal government is

0:56:09.080 --> 0:56:12.600
<v Speaker 1>a scary thought. It's very scary. A lot of going

0:56:12.640 --> 0:56:16.200
<v Speaker 1>on here that's very scary. I appreciate the call. Thanks

0:56:16.239 --> 0:56:18.520
<v Speaker 1>so much for being with us. All right, let's go

0:56:18.680 --> 0:56:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to UH Lady sim in Calabasas, California. How are you?

0:56:24.480 --> 0:56:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I wonderful? Hello, my hiro Sean? What's going on? How

0:56:28.560 --> 0:56:31.160
<v Speaker 1>are you? What an honor for me to speak with you?

0:56:32.200 --> 0:56:36.279
<v Speaker 1>I m once. I'm from a South Korea, immigrants South

0:56:36.360 --> 0:56:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Korean and my very own eye. What's going on? The

0:56:42.480 --> 0:56:49.640
<v Speaker 1>papaganda against UH South and the America, this evil regime

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and using this Olympics to papaganda, massy papaganda holding It's

0:56:57.640 --> 0:57:05.879
<v Speaker 1>a messy papaganda. Let me tell you something, Sean. I'm

0:57:05.880 --> 0:57:12.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna thank two American finest arm impulses sacrifice for keeping

0:57:12.040 --> 0:57:16.240
<v Speaker 1>freedom my motherland South Korea for seven decades. You will

0:57:16.360 --> 0:57:21.720
<v Speaker 1>stand by to us. We appreciate so much with South Korean,

0:57:21.920 --> 0:57:25.959
<v Speaker 1>appreciate so much. We will never forget you. Not only

0:57:26.000 --> 0:57:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that Mr President Trump, Vice President Mike Sense stood up

0:57:32.480 --> 0:57:37.200
<v Speaker 1>for this evil dictator monster and North Korean Kim Johan

0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and three roodiums, and and I am so glad you

0:57:42.920 --> 0:57:47.200
<v Speaker 1>are elected as our president. Thank you so much. You

0:57:47.400 --> 0:57:51.320
<v Speaker 1>are to you guys are doing commending jobs and saving

0:57:51.800 --> 0:57:57.760
<v Speaker 1>our USA and South Korea and freedom loving world, the

0:57:58.240 --> 0:58:02.600
<v Speaker 1>countries all over the world. Thank you so much. All right, well,

0:58:02.600 --> 0:58:05.080
<v Speaker 1>that's very nice to you. Listen, we all are blessed

0:58:05.080 --> 0:58:08.720
<v Speaker 1>by America. And I've always said that if America doesn't

0:58:08.720 --> 0:58:11.520
<v Speaker 1>stand for liberty and freedom and human rights, then who's

0:58:11.560 --> 0:58:14.440
<v Speaker 1>going to You know, there's a lot of criticisms of

0:58:14.480 --> 0:58:16.640
<v Speaker 1>this country, but I can't think of a world without

0:58:16.680 --> 0:58:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the United States and the moral compass we have. And

0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:23.400
<v Speaker 1>that is the country that has accumulated all this power

0:58:24.000 --> 0:58:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and sacrificed so much of it for others. And no

0:58:27.600 --> 0:58:30.320
<v Speaker 1>country has accumulated that power and abused it less and

0:58:30.400 --> 0:58:33.120
<v Speaker 1>used it for as much good as we have. And

0:58:33.200 --> 0:58:37.480
<v Speaker 1>that is the American legacy and dream. No we're not perfect.

0:58:37.480 --> 0:58:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll be the first to say, no, we're not a

0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:42.000
<v Speaker 1>perfect country, but we have been a country that has

0:58:42.120 --> 0:58:45.320
<v Speaker 1>used it for good. Unfortunately, now we have some cleaning

0:58:45.360 --> 0:58:50.640
<v Speaker 1>up inside to do first destroy? Are you aware of

0:58:50.640 --> 0:58:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a gentleman by the name of Oleg Deripaska. I've heard

0:58:54.400 --> 0:58:59.360
<v Speaker 1>the name. Fair to call him a Putin linked Russian oligarch. Well,

0:58:59.400 --> 0:59:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll leave that characterization to others, uh, and certainly not

0:59:02.280 --> 0:59:05.440
<v Speaker 1>in this setting. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Juiciary Committee,

0:59:05.480 --> 0:59:09.200
<v Speaker 1>last week sent a letter to a London based lawyer

0:59:09.240 --> 0:59:12.120
<v Speaker 1>who is a law who represents Mr derri Posca and

0:59:12.160 --> 0:59:16.480
<v Speaker 1>asked if Christopher Steele was employed either directly or indirectly

0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:18.760
<v Speaker 1>by Oleg dear appost at the time he was writing

0:59:18.760 --> 0:59:21.919
<v Speaker 1>the so called Steele dossier. Um, do you know if

0:59:22.040 --> 0:59:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Steele worked for olegda Posca? That's not something I

0:59:25.320 --> 0:59:27.800
<v Speaker 1>can answer. Could we discuss it in the classified setting?

0:59:28.080 --> 0:59:30.760
<v Speaker 1>There might be more we could say there. Next is Russia,

0:59:30.880 --> 0:59:35.000
<v Speaker 1>where President Putin will continue to rely on assertive foreign

0:59:35.040 --> 0:59:40.000
<v Speaker 1>policies to shape outcomes beyond Russia's borders. Putin will resort

0:59:40.040 --> 0:59:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to more author terian tactics to main control amid challenges

0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to his rule. With respect to Russian influence efforts. Let

0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:51.320
<v Speaker 1>me be clear, the Russians utilized this tool because it's

0:59:51.360 --> 0:59:54.960
<v Speaker 1>relatively cheap, it's low risk, it offers what they perceive

0:59:55.080 --> 0:59:58.760
<v Speaker 1>as plausible deniability, and has proven to be effective at

0:59:58.840 --> 1:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>sewing division. We expect Russia to continue using propaganda, social media,

1:00:05.280 --> 1:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>false flag personas, sympathetic spokesman, and other means to influence

1:00:10.760 --> 1:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to try to build on its wide range of operations

1:00:13.880 --> 1:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and has ascerbate social and political fissures in the United States.

1:00:17.880 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>There should be no doubt that Russia perceived that its

1:00:20.760 --> 1:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>past efforts has as successful and used the two thousand

1:00:24.440 --> 1:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and eighteen u S midterm elections as a potential target

1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>for Russian influence operations. An op ed by a number

1:00:31.440 --> 1:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of former intelligence analysts called the Nunas memo and its

1:00:35.320 --> 1:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>release quote one of the worst cases of politicization of

1:00:39.520 --> 1:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>intelligence and modern American history. And quote you said you

1:00:43.120 --> 1:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>had concerns about that memo. I know you can't get

1:00:45.960 --> 1:00:52.160
<v Speaker 1>into the um greaty details of that, but can you, um,

1:00:52.280 --> 1:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>can you say in your view whether or not one

1:00:55.080 --> 1:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of those concerns is that it may have uh selectively

1:00:59.480 --> 1:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>cherry pay information without presenting the entire fact pattern that

1:01:03.840 --> 1:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>led up to that vice of warrant application. Well, center,

1:01:06.960 --> 1:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I would just repeat what we said at the time,

1:01:09.160 --> 1:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>which is that we had then and continue to have now,

1:01:12.360 --> 1:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>grave concerns about the accuracy of the memorandum because of omissions.

1:01:18.400 --> 1:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>We provided thousands of documents that were very sensitive and

1:01:23.560 --> 1:01:25.960
<v Speaker 1>lots and lots of briefings. Uh, and it's very hard

1:01:25.960 --> 1:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>for anybody to distill all that down to three and

1:01:28.160 --> 1:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a half pages. Al Right, So that's the FBI Director

1:01:31.080 --> 1:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>of Christopher Ray writing, you know, he's not answering Tom

1:01:33.840 --> 1:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Cotton's question, and that is whether or not Christopher Steele

1:01:37.280 --> 1:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>was employed by Russians while writing the Bony Russian dossier.

1:01:41.800 --> 1:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>And then of course Ray testifying that you know, he

1:01:45.000 --> 1:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>has grave concerns about the Newness vis A memo. But

1:01:48.240 --> 1:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming that's because they don't want any memo out

1:01:50.840 --> 1:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>there because they're the ones being investigated by the House

1:01:53.800 --> 1:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Intel Committee. All Right, when we come back, great piece

1:01:56.560 --> 1:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>by Byron York is out how comy and even stru

1:02:00.240 --> 1:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>told Congress the FBI didn't think that Michael Flynn lied,

1:02:03.240 --> 1:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>then why was he charged with that? All Right, we'll

1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>take a quick break, we'll come back. News Round Up

1:02:07.280 --> 1:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Information Overload is next coming up next, our final News

1:02:11.160 --> 1:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>round Up and Information Overload, Our UM. And I'm a

1:02:15.080 --> 1:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>big believer in the idea that the FBI speaks through

1:02:17.840 --> 1:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>its work, through its cases, through the victims. UH, it

1:02:21.680 --> 1:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>protects UH. And I encourage our folks not to get

1:02:25.360 --> 1:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>too hung up on what I consider to be the

1:02:27.760 --> 1:02:30.959
<v Speaker 1>noise on TV and the social media. So you haven't

1:02:30.960 --> 1:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>seen any evidence of some sort of inherent political bias

1:02:34.360 --> 1:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and the agency. No. That was Christopher Ray earlier today

1:02:37.760 --> 1:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and testifying about these not seeing any bias at the FBI,

1:02:42.200 --> 1:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>which I don't believe he even believes that. But what

1:02:44.880 --> 1:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>is he gonna do? Yeah, I see a ton of

1:02:46.200 --> 1:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>bias at the FBI. Let me just come here before

1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the committee and and and tell everything that I believe

1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>is wrong. Somebody that I think has been on the

1:02:55.480 --> 1:02:58.439
<v Speaker 1>on the outside that's been doing amazing work on all

1:02:58.520 --> 1:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>of this is Byron Yorkie joins us now he's with

1:03:00.960 --> 1:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Examinery that he has a great column out

1:03:04.400 --> 1:03:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's Comey told Congress that FBI agents did not

1:03:08.040 --> 1:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>think that Michael Flynn lied. Well, then that raises the

1:03:10.800 --> 1:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>question about General Michael Flynn, who quote admitted to lying

1:03:14.880 --> 1:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to the FBI when they came to his office in

1:03:17.280 --> 1:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>January of seventeen. Why did the General Flynn go along

1:03:22.280 --> 1:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>with that and be if they thought he didn't lie,

1:03:24.560 --> 1:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>why would they make him agree to that? Uh, Byron York,

1:03:27.960 --> 1:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>welcome a board. How are you hey? So thanks for

1:03:30.400 --> 1:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>having me? All right? So, if Comey and the other

1:03:32.800 --> 1:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>agents didn't believe he lied, why would Michael Flynn agree

1:03:36.600 --> 1:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to take that plea? Well, I think something changed. I

1:03:39.600 --> 1:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>mean the timeline here is that, you know, you have

1:03:43.120 --> 1:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>to think back to January February and how crazed everybody

1:03:46.960 --> 1:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>was about Russia and Flynn and talking with the Russian

1:03:50.920 --> 1:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>ambassador and all of that stuff, talking about sanctions, and basically,

1:03:56.520 --> 1:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the FBI goes to interview Flynn on January, the fourth

1:04:00.960 --> 1:04:05.439
<v Speaker 1>day of the Trump administration, and asked him about these

1:04:05.480 --> 1:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>conversations that he Flynn has had with the Russian ambassador

1:04:08.840 --> 1:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>during the during the transition, which, by the way, was

1:04:12.760 --> 1:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a perfectly proper thing for an incoming national security In

1:04:16.120 --> 1:04:18.720
<v Speaker 1>other words, he's talking to his counterpart or he's soon

1:04:18.800 --> 1:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to be counterpart, exactly exactly, and he was getting called.

1:04:22.520 --> 1:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Flenn was getting calls from hundreds of people around the

1:04:25.960 --> 1:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>representatives of foreign governments around the country. If Hillary Clinton

1:04:29.440 --> 1:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>had won, her incoming national security advisor would have been

1:04:32.440 --> 1:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>getting calls from hundreds of representatives of foreign governments around

1:04:36.480 --> 1:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the world. So um, anyway that the FBI comes up, well,

1:04:41.520 --> 1:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>but the Justice Department really comes up with this theory

1:04:44.920 --> 1:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>that maybe that these conversations that Flynn has had, these

1:04:48.400 --> 1:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>entirely normal conversations, violate the Logan Act. I'm sure you've

1:04:52.640 --> 1:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>told your listeners about the Logan Act. That's that two

1:04:55.120 --> 1:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred year old law that has never ever been successfully prosecuted.

1:05:00.640 --> 1:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps he violated that, or maybe maybe that Flynn might

1:05:04.800 --> 1:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>be susceptible to blackmail. So they went and questioned Flynn.

1:05:09.520 --> 1:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Not clear, wasn't they made their intentions clear before they

1:05:13.160 --> 1:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>actually questioned him or not he met them without a lawyer. Nevertheless,

1:05:17.560 --> 1:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>when Congress inquired wanted to know what was going on

1:05:21.320 --> 1:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>in early March, James Comy goes to Capitol Hill talks

1:05:25.160 --> 1:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>to lawmakers. They say, well, what about Michael Flynn. Tomy says, well,

1:05:29.120 --> 1:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the FBI agents who interviewed him do not think he lied,

1:05:33.480 --> 1:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and one of them was Peter Struck. One of them

1:05:36.640 --> 1:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>was indeed Peter Struck. So you go from there. That's

1:05:40.040 --> 1:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>in March of last year. Go from there to December

1:05:43.240 --> 1:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>one of last year, when Flynn pleads guilty to doing

1:05:46.880 --> 1:05:51.280
<v Speaker 1>just that tow line in that particular interview with the FBI,

1:05:51.360 --> 1:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And the question is what changed? And I have to

1:05:53.680 --> 1:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>tell you I don't really know the answer. I don't

1:05:55.640 --> 1:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>lay out the answer in the story because I don't know,

1:05:58.200 --> 1:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>but but I do know. I have a theory. Now,

1:06:00.800 --> 1:06:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it's only a theory. You want to hear it. My

1:06:02.440 --> 1:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>theory is I'll be happy to hear. Okay, I think

1:06:05.880 --> 1:06:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and this again, I'm telling everybody, this is a theory.

1:06:09.640 --> 1:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Now if the surveillance, lack of minimization, unmasking, and we

1:06:15.840 --> 1:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>know he was unmasked, and then the leaking of raw

1:06:18.680 --> 1:06:22.840
<v Speaker 1>intelligence which we know took place of General Flynn. When

1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that meeting took place, I believe it was the twenty

1:06:25.720 --> 1:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>four of January or somewhere right after he became National

1:06:30.200 --> 1:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Security Advisor, correct January. Okay, so at that point they

1:06:35.320 --> 1:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>already knew everything that he had said in the transition

1:06:39.880 --> 1:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to his Russian counterpart. The I're asking him about a

1:06:43.400 --> 1:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>conversation of which they had a recording and a transcript

1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>which they had read. And I doubt they told him

1:06:50.520 --> 1:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>that he had a recording or they had a recording

1:06:53.240 --> 1:06:56.480
<v Speaker 1>or a transcript of it. Well, Flynn is a former

1:06:56.560 --> 1:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>director of the Descent Intelligence Agency, and as such, everyone

1:07:02.640 --> 1:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that I've talked to believe that when certainly would have

1:07:05.920 --> 1:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>known that this is the kind of conversation that would

1:07:09.560 --> 1:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>have been wire tapped. In other words, the US intelligence

1:07:12.680 --> 1:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>would have been wire tapping the Russian ambassador. So my

1:07:16.480 --> 1:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>theory goes like this that they he either misremembered, which

1:07:21.520 --> 1:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>is very possible. I mean, if you asked me who

1:07:24.360 --> 1:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>was on my show last Friday, I'd have to sit

1:07:26.360 --> 1:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>here for a while and think. But if he asked

1:07:28.840 --> 1:07:31.959
<v Speaker 1>me about Reagan's economic statistics in nineteen I can rattle

1:07:32.040 --> 1:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>them off in seconds. So I'm not sure what he

1:07:35.480 --> 1:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>remembered or didn't remember, or if he lied on purpose

1:07:38.040 --> 1:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>or didn't lie on purpose, or he misremembered or didn't

1:07:40.280 --> 1:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>But let's put that aside for a second. They should

1:07:42.720 --> 1:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>not have had that information because when we in fact,

1:07:47.040 --> 1:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>when there is surveillance as we should have of foreign

1:07:50.920 --> 1:07:53.640
<v Speaker 1>enemies or a hostile regime such as Russia in this

1:07:53.680 --> 1:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>particular case, who's talking to the soon to be counterpart

1:07:56.880 --> 1:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>is the Russian ambassador, UM, and they pick up in

1:07:59.600 --> 1:08:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a mirror can on that line. They're supposed to minimize

1:08:02.240 --> 1:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that those reports are supposed to be written without identifying

1:08:05.400 --> 1:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>or amasking the American that was speaking to the Russian ambassador,

1:08:09.040 --> 1:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and they would usually, if a proper protocol were followed,

1:08:11.920 --> 1:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>they would write an American that the ambassador was talking

1:08:15.560 --> 1:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to an American and then they wouldn't then that raw

1:08:18.439 --> 1:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>intelligence would not be leaked either. So I suspect that

1:08:22.600 --> 1:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>there was some type And we know what happens with

1:08:24.760 --> 1:08:28.240
<v Speaker 1>grand juries, and we know what happens with aggressive prosecutors,

1:08:28.280 --> 1:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and here you have a big special counsel set up

1:08:31.160 --> 1:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and they want to justify their existence. And I think

1:08:34.160 --> 1:08:36.519
<v Speaker 1>he was probably given a choice either you agree the

1:08:36.560 --> 1:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>ally to the FBI, or we're gonna go back into

1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:42.439
<v Speaker 1>all of your financial dealings and that includes that of

1:08:42.479 --> 1:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>your family and your son and others, and that would

1:08:45.439 --> 1:08:49.759
<v Speaker 1>put them in jeopardy. That's my that's my working hypothesis. Well,

1:08:49.800 --> 1:08:54.599
<v Speaker 1>it has been reported that UM that Flynn's son, who

1:08:54.640 --> 1:08:57.639
<v Speaker 1>was in business with him for might for a while

1:08:57.720 --> 1:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>have been in jeopardy, and that amazingly enough, after Flynn

1:09:02.200 --> 1:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>pleaded guilty that the sun was no longer um. In

1:09:06.240 --> 1:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>other words, he fell on his sword for his kid,

1:09:08.400 --> 1:09:10.479
<v Speaker 1>and that's what they came up with. But we also

1:09:10.560 --> 1:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>have to remember there's a lot that goes on between

1:09:12.960 --> 1:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>March of last year, when Comy tells this to Congress

1:09:17.640 --> 1:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and December one, when, um, when Flynn pleads guilty. First

1:09:22.320 --> 1:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>of all, the president fired Comy uh. And then as

1:09:26.160 --> 1:09:28.799
<v Speaker 1>a result of that, you have the appointment of Robert Mueller,

1:09:29.280 --> 1:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the Special Counsel. Then you have Mueller creating this office

1:09:32.400 --> 1:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and hiring a bunch of gun Hope prosecutors, the people

1:09:35.160 --> 1:09:37.479
<v Speaker 1>who would make prosecutors. So the thing that changed his

1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Comy's out and the prosecutors in, and the prosecutor that

1:09:40.880 --> 1:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>has to justify his existence. There's no doubt that these prosecutors,

1:09:45.000 --> 1:09:47.919
<v Speaker 1>the specific ones that call me has hired h Weisseman

1:09:48.000 --> 1:09:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and others have a reputation for kind of take no

1:09:52.200 --> 1:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>prisoners prosecutions, and um, you know, I don't know. I mean,

1:09:57.640 --> 1:10:00.599
<v Speaker 1>the people who were very supportive of Flynn say that, Look,

1:10:01.080 --> 1:10:05.719
<v Speaker 1>people sometimes plead guilty to get an investigation off their back.

1:10:05.840 --> 1:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>They've had enough, they've suffered enough, they're broke. Uh, they're

1:10:09.600 --> 1:10:12.120
<v Speaker 1>worried about family members. They do these things like that.

1:10:12.160 --> 1:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I've had other people who say no, they had, you know,

1:10:15.439 --> 1:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>clear information that he lied. So but but if he

1:10:20.160 --> 1:10:23.439
<v Speaker 1>the timeline doesn't work because if you have James Comey

1:10:23.479 --> 1:10:26.439
<v Speaker 1>saying he and his fellow agents didn't think he lied,

1:10:26.880 --> 1:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>this is before the special prosecutors appointed, then then how

1:10:32.040 --> 1:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>did we ever get to this point? Did that make sense?

1:10:34.240 --> 1:10:37.200
<v Speaker 1>If it doesn't make sense, No, no, I I totally

1:10:37.280 --> 1:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>understand what you're saying. We should say that prosecutors acusing

1:10:41.600 --> 1:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>at the I agents normally do not make the prosecutorial decisions.

1:10:47.040 --> 1:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And we should have a big exception because remember in

1:10:49.000 --> 1:10:52.919
<v Speaker 1>the Hillary Clinton email case, Well, the Attorney General essentially

1:10:52.960 --> 1:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>gave James coming the power to make a prosecutorial decisions,

1:10:56.200 --> 1:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>but normally they don't. So what we had here was

1:11:00.040 --> 1:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>FBI agents going over to questions uh Flynn. But the

1:11:04.880 --> 1:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>decisions would be made by the people like Sally Yates

1:11:09.120 --> 1:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>who came up with this theory of blackmail or the

1:11:12.640 --> 1:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>logan act or of some sort of criminal exposure. Sally

1:11:17.040 --> 1:11:20.400
<v Speaker 1>ages Is only testified once about this. She testified in

1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:24.200
<v Speaker 1>May of last year before a Senate judiciary Subcommittee, and

1:11:24.280 --> 1:11:26.880
<v Speaker 1>she talked about how she went after this interview with

1:11:26.960 --> 1:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Flynn on January. She thinks the news is so critical

1:11:31.040 --> 1:11:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that she started to go over to the White House

1:11:32.439 --> 1:11:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and talk to the Council. Don began, so first he

1:11:35.880 --> 1:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>hears of it on January. Then tell him about this,

1:11:39.720 --> 1:11:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and Don McGann says to her, and this is according

1:11:41.680 --> 1:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>to her account, says to her, look, what if Michael

1:11:45.160 --> 1:11:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Flynn lied to the Vice pressent. Let's just say he did.

1:11:49.360 --> 1:11:51.599
<v Speaker 1>What's that to the Justice Department? I mean, what's what's

1:11:51.640 --> 1:11:54.879
<v Speaker 1>the crime there? And that is when Sally Flynn apparently

1:11:54.920 --> 1:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>goes into her theory about what she called the underlying

1:11:58.479 --> 1:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>conduct being the Logan Act, possible Logan Act violation and

1:12:02.479 --> 1:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>this idea which again to her theory that Flynn might

1:12:06.240 --> 1:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>be vulnerable to blackmail. So she Sally Yates said to

1:12:09.400 --> 1:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>intervene and have the FBI question UH plan on on

1:12:13.360 --> 1:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>pain of perjury. So you know, I have to say

1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I wrote this story about what Comy told lawmakers. You know,

1:12:22.000 --> 1:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I just think that's important information. I don't know what

1:12:25.680 --> 1:12:27.519
<v Speaker 1>might have changed, but I do know that a lot

1:12:27.520 --> 1:12:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of lawmakers view this whole Flenn case as really weird. Well,

1:12:33.600 --> 1:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>list the things that happened. I'm troubled by it, all right,

1:12:36.040 --> 1:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>by Ron YORKA, will hang in there. We'll have a

1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>couple more questions on the other side. Nine one, Shawn's

1:12:41.240 --> 1:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>a toll free telephone number. And as we continue, by

1:12:45.800 --> 1:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Ron york is with us with the Washington Examiner and

1:12:49.280 --> 1:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>his pieces out Comey told Congress FBI agents didn't think

1:12:53.120 --> 1:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Flynn had lied. Look, look where, colleagues, and you can

1:12:57.120 --> 1:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>tell me anywhere you disagree with me, but this is

1:12:59.360 --> 1:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>what I think. Where we are, I think you have

1:13:02.080 --> 1:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton was protected by call me and struck. I've

1:13:05.880 --> 1:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>never heard of an exoneration written before an investigation that

1:13:09.040 --> 1:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>allowed her to stay in the presidential race. I think

1:13:12.040 --> 1:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the crimes that were committed were overwhelming and incontrovertible. If

1:13:15.880 --> 1:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we're going to follow the law, mishandling classified information, etcetera.

1:13:19.720 --> 1:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>With the email server scandal, we'll learn a lot more

1:13:21.760 --> 1:13:25.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Inspector General report, and then so she's allowed

1:13:25.080 --> 1:13:29.479
<v Speaker 1>to continue on. She pays for a Russian dossier full

1:13:29.479 --> 1:13:33.639
<v Speaker 1>of salacious lies and misinformation, and now we've learned that

1:13:33.640 --> 1:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>that was the basis the bulk of the information given

1:13:36.600 --> 1:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>to a visor court by Callmey and others, and they're

1:13:39.880 --> 1:13:41.840
<v Speaker 1>just trying to justify it. And I think it was

1:13:41.880 --> 1:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>all designed to impact an election, and then when they

1:13:44.320 --> 1:13:47.479
<v Speaker 1>lost the election, of impact an incoming president in ways

1:13:47.520 --> 1:13:49.439
<v Speaker 1>that we've never seen before. Is there any part of

1:13:49.439 --> 1:13:51.479
<v Speaker 1>that you disagree with? Well, I think there's some of

1:13:51.520 --> 1:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the things. I wouldn't go as far as as what

1:13:54.240 --> 1:13:56.519
<v Speaker 1>you say, although they're I mean, clearly there are a

1:13:56.560 --> 1:13:59.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of things are obvious facts. I mean, Christopher Seels

1:13:59.760 --> 1:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>worked for the Hillary Clinton campaign. But I think, um,

1:14:03.280 --> 1:14:06.679
<v Speaker 1>once we once we straighten out all these all these

1:14:06.920 --> 1:14:08.960
<v Speaker 1>actual facts, and that's going to take a long time,

1:14:09.120 --> 1:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I think we have this kind of step back and

1:14:10.880 --> 1:14:14.639
<v Speaker 1>look at the troubling aspect of the FBI inserting itself

1:14:14.680 --> 1:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>into a presidential election on both sides. And you know,

1:14:18.160 --> 1:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>basically we had a presidential election in which both candidates

1:14:21.720 --> 1:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>were under FBI investigation, and I think you've got to

1:14:24.080 --> 1:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>wonder whether maybe the FBI was has just and well,

1:14:28.080 --> 1:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>let's go, let's go. Do you doubt that the fix

1:14:30.120 --> 1:14:32.640
<v Speaker 1>was in? What have you ever heard of an investigation

1:14:32.720 --> 1:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that exonerates They begin the exoneration letter months before they

1:14:36.200 --> 1:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>interviewed the principles. No, I haven't. And you know, we've

1:14:39.160 --> 1:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>seen some of the early drafts. We know that in

1:14:41.160 --> 1:14:44.519
<v Speaker 1>May he was James Comen was circulating drafts of that

1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:48.639
<v Speaker 1>exoneration level letter. Obviously, the interview with Hillary Clinton doesn't

1:14:48.640 --> 1:14:54.519
<v Speaker 1>happen until July second, and he has exonerated on July five. Yeah,

1:14:54.560 --> 1:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>you've explained it to your listeners many times. But but

1:14:57.960 --> 1:15:02.479
<v Speaker 1>not only did they write the asoneration letter before interviewing Clinton,

1:15:02.560 --> 1:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>they they did it before uh, interviewing lots of critical people,

1:15:07.439 --> 1:15:10.439
<v Speaker 1>seventeen other people. Yeah, well, let me ask you. This

1:15:10.560 --> 1:15:13.559
<v Speaker 1>community out like candy, and it was astonishing the way

1:15:13.560 --> 1:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>they did it. So it's bad enough that Hillary pays

1:15:16.280 --> 1:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>for this phony Russian dossier with salacious lies, but then

1:15:20.120 --> 1:15:24.960
<v Speaker 1>it becomes the bulk of the reason presented before Viser

1:15:25.040 --> 1:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>court to get this this visor warrant on on carter

1:15:28.400 --> 1:15:30.320
<v Speaker 1>page so they can see what's going on within the

1:15:30.320 --> 1:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration or the Trump campaign rather and later on

1:15:33.880 --> 1:15:38.679
<v Speaker 1>the incoming presidency and the president elect. And they never

1:15:38.760 --> 1:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>told anybody. In other words, they didn't tell the court

1:15:41.000 --> 1:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that it was Hillary Clinton bought and paid for. And

1:15:43.000 --> 1:15:46.799
<v Speaker 1>also it was unverified because in January, when James Comey

1:15:46.840 --> 1:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>went up to Trump Tower to talk to Trump, he

1:15:48.640 --> 1:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>said it was unverified installationous. But that's not what they

1:15:51.439 --> 1:15:53.519
<v Speaker 1>were telling the court in October. Yeah, if I could

1:15:53.560 --> 1:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>add one thing about this, this warrant. You know, you've

1:15:56.080 --> 1:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>heard some defenders of the FBI say no, no, no,

1:16:00.000 --> 1:16:02.439
<v Speaker 1>they weren't spying on the campaign because they didn't get

1:16:02.520 --> 1:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the warrant until after Carter Page had left the campaign.

1:16:06.040 --> 1:16:08.479
<v Speaker 1>But the fact is one of these warrants are very

1:16:08.520 --> 1:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>powerful things, and they allow the FBI to listen to

1:16:12.080 --> 1:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>phone conversations going forward after the warrant is issued, but

1:16:15.720 --> 1:16:18.519
<v Speaker 1>also to look at email and text and any other

1:16:18.560 --> 1:16:21.519
<v Speaker 1>thing that leaves the record going backwards as far as

1:16:21.560 --> 1:16:25.200
<v Speaker 1>they've got the records. So carter Page had had emails

1:16:25.240 --> 1:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>with members of the Trump campaign and say may or

1:16:28.800 --> 1:16:32.479
<v Speaker 1>June of this warrant would allow them to read all

1:16:32.560 --> 1:16:35.920
<v Speaker 1>those And by the way, the warrant also allowed the

1:16:36.080 --> 1:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>FBI to break into pages house and plant listening devices

1:16:40.840 --> 1:16:44.400
<v Speaker 1>if they chose. Unbelievable, do you do you have the

1:16:44.439 --> 1:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>same issues that I have with the team that Robert

1:16:47.160 --> 1:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Mueller has assembled. All the Democratic donors, people like Andrew

1:16:51.040 --> 1:16:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Weissman and his track record going back to Anderson Accounting

1:16:54.360 --> 1:16:58.599
<v Speaker 1>and Enron and for meryal executives being overturned nine zero

1:16:58.680 --> 1:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Supreme Court, will spending a year in jail

1:17:01.240 --> 1:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that's overturned by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, tens

1:17:04.040 --> 1:17:06.559
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of jobs lost. You have a problem with

1:17:06.640 --> 1:17:09.800
<v Speaker 1>some of these people, Yeah, I I do. I think

1:17:09.800 --> 1:17:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it certainly looks bad. And you you could also have

1:17:13.000 --> 1:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the Wiseman sending this kind of cheerleading note to

1:17:16.320 --> 1:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Sally Yates when she refused to enforce the president's executive order,

1:17:20.720 --> 1:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>which which got her fired quickly, and Wiseman was a

1:17:24.080 --> 1:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>was a big fan of that. Um, I think it

1:17:26.840 --> 1:17:29.479
<v Speaker 1>would be better. Uh, it just seems like it would

1:17:29.479 --> 1:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>be obviously better to hire a political prosecutors for this.

1:17:34.160 --> 1:17:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I also think, and I wrote about this at the time,

1:17:36.280 --> 1:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen as much since that Mueller and James Comey

1:17:39.040 --> 1:17:42.160
<v Speaker 1>are good friends, and James Comey is going to be

1:17:42.360 --> 1:17:44.920
<v Speaker 1>if there is, if there is to be a case

1:17:45.000 --> 1:17:47.640
<v Speaker 1>of obstruction of justice against the president, the firing of

1:17:47.760 --> 1:17:50.040
<v Speaker 1>James Comey is going to be the centerpiece of that case,

1:17:50.120 --> 1:17:53.599
<v Speaker 1>the key witness, the star witness will be James Comey,

1:17:53.640 --> 1:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>who will be a good buddy of the prosecutor. So

1:17:56.760 --> 1:17:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just it's not a great situation, all right.

1:18:00.000 --> 1:18:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Byron York, Thank you for being with us. Eight Sean

1:18:03.200 --> 1:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>a t the top of the hour, Shawn, if you

1:18:06.880 --> 1:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>want to be a part of the program. A lot

1:18:09.320 --> 1:18:14.960
<v Speaker 1>has been made about past presidents and their faith and anyway,

1:18:15.000 --> 1:18:17.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a new book out by my friend David Brodie.

1:18:17.120 --> 1:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>It's really well done and fascinating and interesting, and it's

1:18:21.280 --> 1:18:24.720
<v Speaker 1>called The Faith of Donald J. Trump. And David's the

1:18:24.800 --> 1:18:29.240
<v Speaker 1>chief political correspondent of the CBN Network. And here's the

1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:33.879
<v Speaker 1>President talking at the National Prayer Breakfast. In their selfless deeds,

1:18:33.920 --> 1:18:37.639
<v Speaker 1>they reveal the beauty and goodness of the human soul.

1:18:38.520 --> 1:18:44.120
<v Speaker 1>When catastrophic hurricane struck, first responders and everyday citizens dove

1:18:44.200 --> 1:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>into rushing waters to save stranded families from danger, and

1:18:49.160 --> 1:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>they saved them by the thousands. Neighbors open their homes

1:18:53.280 --> 1:18:58.639
<v Speaker 1>to those in need of food, clothes, shelter. Firefighters brave

1:18:58.760 --> 1:19:03.440
<v Speaker 1>blinding smoke and laims to rescue children from devastating wildfires.

1:19:03.880 --> 1:19:11.000
<v Speaker 1>During the horrific shootings, Stranger shielded strangers and police officers

1:19:11.080 --> 1:19:15.040
<v Speaker 1>ran into hail of boats to save the lives of

1:19:15.080 --> 1:19:20.800
<v Speaker 1>their fellow Americans right in Las Vegas. A terrible day,

1:19:20.840 --> 1:19:26.839
<v Speaker 1>a terrible night, but such bravery. Families have adopted babies

1:19:27.040 --> 1:19:33.480
<v Speaker 1>orphaned by the opioid epidemic and given them loving homes.

1:19:34.000 --> 1:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Communities and churches have reached out to those struggling with

1:19:37.360 --> 1:19:41.080
<v Speaker 1>addiction and shown them the path to a clean life,

1:19:41.800 --> 1:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>a good job, and a renewed sense of purpose. And soldiers, sailors,

1:19:48.479 --> 1:19:52.360
<v Speaker 1>coast guardsmen, airmen, and marines have spent long months away

1:19:52.360 --> 1:20:01.840
<v Speaker 1>from home defending our great American flag. So all we

1:20:01.920 --> 1:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>have to do is open our eyes and look around us,

1:20:06.479 --> 1:20:09.479
<v Speaker 1>and we can see God's hand in the courage of

1:20:09.520 --> 1:20:12.880
<v Speaker 1>our fellow citizens. We see the power of God's love

1:20:13.280 --> 1:20:16.320
<v Speaker 1>at work in our souls, and the power of God's

1:20:16.320 --> 1:20:21.559
<v Speaker 1>will to answer all of our prayers. When Americans are

1:20:21.600 --> 1:20:24.800
<v Speaker 1>able to live by their convictions, to speak openly of

1:20:24.840 --> 1:20:28.240
<v Speaker 1>their faith, and to teach their children what is right,

1:20:28.640 --> 1:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>our families thrive, our communities flourish, and our nation can

1:20:33.800 --> 1:20:38.920
<v Speaker 1>achieve anything at all. Here with us today is another

1:20:39.000 --> 1:20:42.320
<v Speaker 1>symbol of hope. A very brave nine year old girl

1:20:43.280 --> 1:20:50.519
<v Speaker 1>named Sophia Marie Kampa Peters. Sophia suffers from a rare

1:20:50.600 --> 1:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>disease that has caused her to have many strokes. At

1:20:55.000 --> 1:20:58.800
<v Speaker 1>one point, the doctors told Sophia that you would not

1:20:58.880 --> 1:21:03.639
<v Speaker 1>be able to walk. Sophia replied, if you're only going

1:21:03.720 --> 1:21:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to talk about what I can't do, then I don't

1:21:06.920 --> 1:21:10.320
<v Speaker 1>want to hear it. Just let me try to walk.

1:21:12.240 --> 1:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>She tried, and she succeeded, and one of her doctors

1:21:17.960 --> 1:21:20.680
<v Speaker 1>even told her mom, and they're right here in the

1:21:20.720 --> 1:21:24.240
<v Speaker 1>front row where they should be. This little girl has

1:21:24.320 --> 1:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>God on her side. Thank you, Sophia, Thank you mom,

1:21:31.720 --> 1:21:35.840
<v Speaker 1>great mom. I said, do you love your mom? She said,

1:21:35.880 --> 1:21:39.439
<v Speaker 1>I have a great mom. I love my mom. Right.

1:21:40.800 --> 1:21:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Just two weeks ago, Sophia needed to have a very

1:21:43.600 --> 1:21:48.280
<v Speaker 1>high risk surgery. She decided to ask the whole world

1:21:48.360 --> 1:21:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to pray for her, and she hoped to reach ten

1:21:51.479 --> 1:21:58.280
<v Speaker 1>thousand people. On January, as Sophia went into surgery, she

1:21:58.479 --> 1:22:03.799
<v Speaker 1>far surpassed her goal. Millions and millions of people lifted

1:22:03.840 --> 1:22:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Sophia up in their prayers. Today, we thank God that

1:22:07.720 --> 1:22:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Sophia is with us, and she's recovering, and she's walking

1:22:12.520 --> 1:22:18.680
<v Speaker 1>very well. And I have to say this, Sophia. You

1:22:18.760 --> 1:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>may only be nine years old, but you are already

1:22:22.000 --> 1:22:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a hero to all of us in this room and

1:22:25.360 --> 1:22:29.880
<v Speaker 1>all over the world. Thank you, Sophia. As long as

1:22:30.120 --> 1:22:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we open our eyes to God's grace and open our

1:22:33.120 --> 1:22:36.920
<v Speaker 1>hearts to God's love, that America will forever be the

1:22:37.040 --> 1:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>land of the free, the home of the brave, and

1:22:40.040 --> 1:22:43.479
<v Speaker 1>the light unto all nations. All right, David Brody joins

1:22:43.600 --> 1:22:46.360
<v Speaker 1>us now. The Faith of Donald J. Trumpets up on

1:22:46.400 --> 1:22:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Hannity dot com, bookstores everywhere, Amazon dot com. How are you, sir,

1:22:50.160 --> 1:22:52.599
<v Speaker 1>Good sir, Thanks for having me on. I've actually enjoyed

1:22:52.640 --> 1:22:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the times I've been on with you and your network,

1:22:55.200 --> 1:22:58.120
<v Speaker 1>and you guys are actually nice to conservatives. It's rare.

1:22:58.160 --> 1:23:05.679
<v Speaker 1>It's rare. I'm not used to read exactly. Um now,

1:23:05.800 --> 1:23:08.680
<v Speaker 1>unlike say Michael Wolf's book, you actually spoke to the

1:23:08.720 --> 1:23:13.439
<v Speaker 1>president about his faith, about his religious views. And you know,

1:23:13.520 --> 1:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody said, I was reading the Heritage Foundation at the

1:23:16.120 --> 1:23:19.120
<v Speaker 1>end of seventeen and they were pointing out that this

1:23:19.240 --> 1:23:23.880
<v Speaker 1>president is governing in his first year, governed more conservatively

1:23:24.080 --> 1:23:27.960
<v Speaker 1>than even Ronald Reagan. And everyone's you know, this big argument,

1:23:28.040 --> 1:23:31.120
<v Speaker 1>is he a populist. Is he a nationalist? I'm watching

1:23:31.160 --> 1:23:35.639
<v Speaker 1>a guy governing as a Reagan Conservative. Um, what did

1:23:35.680 --> 1:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you learn about his faith that might surprise people? Well,

1:23:39.040 --> 1:23:40.120
<v Speaker 1>there are a few things. And first of all, it

1:23:40.160 --> 1:23:42.360
<v Speaker 1>funny you mentioned Michael Wolfe because I was basically going

1:23:42.400 --> 1:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to say, this is the book Michael wolf probably doesn't

1:23:44.280 --> 1:23:47.200
<v Speaker 1>want you to read. It actually has interviews with President

1:23:47.200 --> 1:23:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump and Vice President Pence. Actually the interview with the

1:23:50.160 --> 1:23:52.200
<v Speaker 1>President Trump was done in the Oval office too, with

1:23:52.479 --> 1:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Mike Pence in the West Wing. Um. Look, there a

1:23:55.360 --> 1:23:57.719
<v Speaker 1>couple of things. First of all, what was really striking

1:23:57.800 --> 1:24:00.120
<v Speaker 1>in this book is he talks about the impact that

1:24:00.200 --> 1:24:02.960
<v Speaker 1>evangelicals have had on him. When and I see evangelicals,

1:24:02.960 --> 1:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about leaders that are around him, not just

1:24:04.800 --> 1:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Paula White and some of these other folks we've heard about.

1:24:07.080 --> 1:24:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Where we're talking specifically about many televangelists, many Pentecostals that

1:24:11.400 --> 1:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>he has never even experienced before Sean, and all of

1:24:14.160 --> 1:24:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, there's this whole world that's opened up to him.

1:24:16.920 --> 1:24:18.759
<v Speaker 1>So he says, the quote in the book is basically

1:24:18.800 --> 1:24:22.639
<v Speaker 1>how this has impacted him greatly. And what we're starting

1:24:22.680 --> 1:24:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to see now is a spiritual voyage, especially in the

1:24:25.080 --> 1:24:28.519
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years, where behind the scenes there are

1:24:28.520 --> 1:24:30.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot of folks that are I want to say,

1:24:30.479 --> 1:24:34.080
<v Speaker 1>witnessing to him. They're really kind of sharing Jesus with

1:24:34.160 --> 1:24:36.360
<v Speaker 1>him in a way that is something that he's not

1:24:36.479 --> 1:24:39.680
<v Speaker 1>used to. Mainline presbyterian Um, the way he grew up

1:24:39.800 --> 1:24:43.679
<v Speaker 1>is not the way necessarily he's getting an experience. Now. Well,

1:24:43.720 --> 1:24:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna ask you in this context because I

1:24:45.680 --> 1:24:48.799
<v Speaker 1>know people like Darryl Scott and and he put together

1:24:48.880 --> 1:24:52.080
<v Speaker 1>a group of of he's the head of the National

1:24:52.120 --> 1:24:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Diversity Coalition for the President and others, and I know

1:24:55.400 --> 1:24:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that they do talk to him about these things. I

1:24:57.240 --> 1:25:00.200
<v Speaker 1>know Franklin Graham talks to him about these things, and

1:25:00.320 --> 1:25:03.439
<v Speaker 1>I know that he's interested in these things. And it's

1:25:03.439 --> 1:25:05.600
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting when he gets in an environment where he

1:25:05.640 --> 1:25:08.160
<v Speaker 1>can actually talk about it. As we just heard, he

1:25:08.240 --> 1:25:11.360
<v Speaker 1>does show the side of him. You know, for me,

1:25:11.479 --> 1:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a certain fundamental aspect of faith is discerning good versus evil.

1:25:16.560 --> 1:25:18.599
<v Speaker 1>And I know we get into this all the time

1:25:18.640 --> 1:25:22.360
<v Speaker 1>with Republican presidents. If Ronald Reagan calls the Soviet Union

1:25:22.400 --> 1:25:26.639
<v Speaker 1>an evil empire, the left goes crazy. Or if George W. Books.

1:25:27.080 --> 1:25:31.799
<v Speaker 1>Bush talks about, you know, Iran and Um and Iraq

1:25:31.920 --> 1:25:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and North Korea as being an access of evil and

1:25:34.960 --> 1:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump isn't willing to give let's see billions of

1:25:38.120 --> 1:25:41.200
<v Speaker 1>dollars to Mullas and Iran that are talking about blowing

1:25:41.320 --> 1:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>us up and wiping us off the face of the

1:25:43.000 --> 1:25:46.400
<v Speaker 1>earth or North Korea. You know that that frightens people

1:25:46.479 --> 1:25:48.920
<v Speaker 1>on the left, But there seems to be a more

1:25:49.040 --> 1:25:52.439
<v Speaker 1>fundamental understanding of the evil nature of some of these

1:25:52.479 --> 1:25:55.559
<v Speaker 1>regimes and just how they treat their own people. Well,

1:25:55.560 --> 1:25:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that's right. That's been a big magnet for evangelicals as

1:25:57.760 --> 1:25:59.599
<v Speaker 1>to why they're attracted to Donald Trump. You know, Donald

1:25:59.600 --> 1:26:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Trump's the world in in absolutes, and so do we evangelicals.

1:26:02.920 --> 1:26:04.880
<v Speaker 1>And there's a kinship, a doctor phil moment, as I

1:26:04.960 --> 1:26:07.120
<v Speaker 1>like to call it. And I think that's really important.

1:26:07.240 --> 1:26:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And I also think to understand Donald Trump, you have

1:26:09.080 --> 1:26:11.599
<v Speaker 1>to really know him, actually know him, because in private,

1:26:11.640 --> 1:26:13.559
<v Speaker 1>as you know Sean, when the cameras are not rolling,

1:26:14.120 --> 1:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>evangelical leaders will come to recognize more compassionate side. There's

1:26:17.040 --> 1:26:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a story in the book Sean about a private car ride.

1:26:19.320 --> 1:26:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Mike Pence is telling me the story of the Vice

1:26:20.840 --> 1:26:23.080
<v Speaker 1>president just a few months ago before the book came out,

1:26:23.120 --> 1:26:26.599
<v Speaker 1>telling me the story. It's Mike Pence, Franklin Graham, Tony Perkins,

1:26:26.600 --> 1:26:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump in a car in Louisiana two thousand and sixteen,

1:26:30.280 --> 1:26:32.479
<v Speaker 1>the flooding down there. This was before he was president.

1:26:32.680 --> 1:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump becomes deeply moved by what Graham's Christian ministries Maritan's First,

1:26:36.240 --> 1:26:38.519
<v Speaker 1>had done for flood victims. So right there on the spot,

1:26:38.520 --> 1:26:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just before them in the car, he tells Graham

1:26:41.000 --> 1:26:42.839
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna he needs to give the ministry a hefty

1:26:42.960 --> 1:26:45.360
<v Speaker 1>six figure check, and he says, I got to do something.

1:26:45.400 --> 1:26:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I've just been moved by this so much. And Graham

1:26:47.160 --> 1:26:50.360
<v Speaker 1>politely told Trump to send it to Tony's home church,

1:26:50.520 --> 1:26:53.200
<v Speaker 1>not Home's home church that had been instrumental in the

1:26:53.240 --> 1:26:55.840
<v Speaker 1>recovery efforts. So you know, once again, camera's not rolling

1:26:55.920 --> 1:26:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a different side of Donald Trump. Look, Walter Cronkite to

1:26:58.840 --> 1:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to to quote the you know the liberal bastion media, right.

1:27:02.080 --> 1:27:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Walter Cronkite always talks about in seeking truth,

1:27:04.840 --> 1:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you have to get both sides of a story. Well,

1:27:06.880 --> 1:27:08.559
<v Speaker 1>here's the other side of the story that media doesn't

1:27:08.560 --> 1:27:10.840
<v Speaker 1>really want to tell well, I think that's that's an

1:27:10.880 --> 1:27:13.760
<v Speaker 1>interesting way to put it. Look, I also think New

1:27:13.840 --> 1:27:16.000
<v Speaker 1>York is a very different place. And I speak from

1:27:16.040 --> 1:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>experience because I was born and raised in New York

1:27:18.280 --> 1:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>on Long Island, and I was raised Catholic, and I

1:27:20.840 --> 1:27:23.200
<v Speaker 1>was an altar boy. And you know, then I go

1:27:23.240 --> 1:27:25.720
<v Speaker 1>on this radio adventure that takes me five years in

1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island and five years in California, and two years

1:27:28.479 --> 1:27:31.160
<v Speaker 1>in Alabama and four years in Georgia, and then you know,

1:27:31.240 --> 1:27:33.320
<v Speaker 1>fortunately I got back to New York and I was

1:27:33.400 --> 1:27:36.400
<v Speaker 1>hired by the Fox News Channel. But in the time

1:27:36.479 --> 1:27:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that I traveled, I began to see and and this

1:27:39.240 --> 1:27:41.639
<v Speaker 1>is in no way disparaging of of any other part

1:27:41.640 --> 1:27:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of the country or region of the country, but when

1:27:43.920 --> 1:27:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I got to Alabama and Georgia, it was a a

1:27:47.840 --> 1:27:51.600
<v Speaker 1>very different Christianity than the Catholicism that I grew up in,

1:27:52.120 --> 1:27:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and I came to like it, appreciate it, identify with it.

1:27:56.640 --> 1:28:00.280
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think it's that there are play says

1:28:00.360 --> 1:28:02.640
<v Speaker 1>like this in New York, but the differences in Alabama.

1:28:02.640 --> 1:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>It's every other street there's a church. Yeah. Well, and

1:28:07.000 --> 1:28:09.280
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting you say this because this is pretty much

1:28:09.280 --> 1:28:11.400
<v Speaker 1>what the President told me in the Oval office. He said, look,

1:28:11.640 --> 1:28:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't hang around these people before. I don't know,

1:28:14.000 --> 1:28:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know any of this. But now they're opening

1:28:16.160 --> 1:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>my eyes to you know, this whole kind of other

1:28:18.479 --> 1:28:20.200
<v Speaker 1>side of the faith that he didn't know anything about.

1:28:20.280 --> 1:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it's funny because a story in the

1:28:22.040 --> 1:28:23.880
<v Speaker 1>book is a bishop, Wayne Jackson, who was one of

1:28:23.880 --> 1:28:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the folks that prayed at the inauguration. Be's a lifelong Democrat. Uh.

1:28:27.800 --> 1:28:31.599
<v Speaker 1>He Trump goes into Great Great Faith Ministries International in Detroit.

1:28:32.000 --> 1:28:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump visited, visits the church, and then it was Wayne

1:28:35.240 --> 1:28:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Jackson telling me that the moment Trump got out of

1:28:37.960 --> 1:28:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the car, this is a quote from Wayne Jackson, the bishop.

1:28:40.920 --> 1:28:43.120
<v Speaker 1>He says, quote, the spirit of the Lord told me

1:28:43.200 --> 1:28:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that he is going to be the next president of

1:28:45.400 --> 1:28:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the United States. So these are the circles that Donald

1:28:48.640 --> 1:28:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Trump is running in. Now. A little bit more of

1:28:50.560 --> 1:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>that prophetic side, a little bit more of that definitely

1:28:53.200 --> 1:28:56.679
<v Speaker 1>that evangelical side that is kind of blown Donald Trump away.

1:28:56.680 --> 1:28:58.719
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, he respects people of faith,

1:28:58.760 --> 1:29:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the clergy, I mean, he members of time. He's seventy

1:29:01.080 --> 1:29:03.040
<v Speaker 1>one years old. He remembers a time where you you're

1:29:03.200 --> 1:29:05.360
<v Speaker 1>dressed up for church. You didn't come in baggy pants

1:29:05.360 --> 1:29:07.759
<v Speaker 1>and and sneakers. And you know this is a respect

1:29:07.800 --> 1:29:09.680
<v Speaker 1>for clergy that he has. I remember Daryl Scott, you

1:29:09.680 --> 1:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Darryl Scott. He specifically said to me that in

1:29:13.439 --> 1:29:16.479
<v Speaker 1>meetings with clergy, Trump adopts the position of the lesser,

1:29:17.040 --> 1:29:20.160
<v Speaker 1>not of the more powerful. If you are fascinating, that's

1:29:20.200 --> 1:29:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that is pretty interesting to hear from Daryl Scott. Do

1:29:23.320 --> 1:29:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you think that the president is getting more faithful, his

1:29:27.479 --> 1:29:29.920
<v Speaker 1>faith is growing? Do you see that or maybe in

1:29:30.000 --> 1:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>your conversations with him you've seen it absolutely. And there's

1:29:33.439 --> 1:29:35.599
<v Speaker 1>a few different things that can point to. First of all,

1:29:35.720 --> 1:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, of course you did that interview with the

1:29:38.120 --> 1:29:41.160
<v Speaker 1>president right off the top in his presidency. I was

1:29:41.200 --> 1:29:43.040
<v Speaker 1>able to do the third interview with him, and during

1:29:43.040 --> 1:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>that interview he said, I need God even more in

1:29:45.800 --> 1:29:48.680
<v Speaker 1>this job. And just the other day, about two weeks ago,

1:29:48.760 --> 1:29:50.920
<v Speaker 1>at the TV Network anchor luncheon before the State of

1:29:50.920 --> 1:29:52.760
<v Speaker 1>the Union, I was actually there in the room in

1:29:52.800 --> 1:29:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the State Dying room with the President. He's talking about

1:29:55.280 --> 1:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>how basically, as a businessman, Heart isn't involved, but as president,

1:30:00.160 --> 1:30:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Heart is involved and compassion is involved, so he's getting

1:30:03.080 --> 1:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a whole another side of this. And then at the

1:30:05.000 --> 1:30:07.320
<v Speaker 1>National Prayer Breakfast, what did we just see? I mean,

1:30:07.360 --> 1:30:09.760
<v Speaker 1>we had a president who, in his first year at

1:30:09.760 --> 1:30:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the National Prayer break Fast talked about the ratings of

1:30:11.840 --> 1:30:14.479
<v Speaker 1>the Apprentice more uh, he talked about the ratings of

1:30:14.479 --> 1:30:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the Princess, about his accomplishments. But what did he do

1:30:16.920 --> 1:30:19.800
<v Speaker 1>this time around? You know, years time? He didn't talk

1:30:19.840 --> 1:30:21.679
<v Speaker 1>at all about the Apprentice, didn't talk at all about

1:30:21.680 --> 1:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>his accomplishments. It was more of god less of him.

1:30:24.600 --> 1:30:28.120
<v Speaker 1>And it was a subdued, very poignant speech, and even

1:30:28.120 --> 1:30:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times enjoyed. And that's saying something. But

1:30:30.840 --> 1:30:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the point is is that we're seeing some movement on

1:30:33.600 --> 1:30:36.559
<v Speaker 1>his on his behalf for sure. You know. I remember

1:30:36.720 --> 1:30:39.320
<v Speaker 1>during the campaign and a lot of evangelicals took a

1:30:39.320 --> 1:30:42.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of heat if they supported Donald Trump for president.

1:30:42.680 --> 1:30:45.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, okay, he was divorced, and he wasn't a

1:30:45.520 --> 1:30:49.120
<v Speaker 1>perfect person, and he made the tabloids, etcetera. And I

1:30:49.160 --> 1:30:50.920
<v Speaker 1>think it was Jerry Fallwell Jr. I know it was

1:30:51.000 --> 1:30:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Fallwell Jr. That said, we're looking, we're not electing

1:30:53.800 --> 1:30:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a pastor here if I was electing a pastor, I'd

1:30:56.960 --> 1:30:59.639
<v Speaker 1>be looking for something different. I'm looking for a strong

1:30:59.680 --> 1:31:03.120
<v Speaker 1>press that didn't think can fix the country. Well, that's right,

1:31:03.240 --> 1:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and he nailed it right on the head. And look

1:31:05.080 --> 1:31:07.160
<v Speaker 1>in the view of evangelicals, they see a culture that's

1:31:07.160 --> 1:31:10.240
<v Speaker 1>securiorating quickly in the last decade. For sure. They want

1:31:10.240 --> 1:31:12.479
<v Speaker 1>a bold culture warrior to fight for them. And and

1:31:12.520 --> 1:31:14.880
<v Speaker 1>by the way, Sean showing that God does indeed have

1:31:14.920 --> 1:31:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a sense of humor, he gave them Trump, which I

1:31:17.000 --> 1:31:19.280
<v Speaker 1>think is kind of funny. But anyhow, the bottom line

1:31:19.360 --> 1:31:22.880
<v Speaker 1>is it's basically in God's perfection. It's a match made

1:31:22.880 --> 1:31:25.600
<v Speaker 1>in heaven because Trump and evangelicals actually share quite a

1:31:25.640 --> 1:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>few important cultural points of is of interest. I mean, look,

1:31:29.080 --> 1:31:31.599
<v Speaker 1>there's a disdain for political correctness and all of that

1:31:31.720 --> 1:31:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Judeo Christian values. He remembers Bible reading in school, he

1:31:35.400 --> 1:31:38.920
<v Speaker 1>remembers prayer in school. He patent, he loves pattent in

1:31:38.920 --> 1:31:43.559
<v Speaker 1>the fifties, he remembers America who once was dot dot dot.

1:31:43.640 --> 1:31:46.360
<v Speaker 1>And but on these on these cultural issues, he comes

1:31:46.360 --> 1:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>down on the side of where evangelicals come down on

1:31:48.800 --> 1:31:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and where I would come down on. Well, that's right,

1:31:50.960 --> 1:31:53.639
<v Speaker 1>and you talk about fruit. Everybody talks about the spiritual fruit, Well,

1:31:53.640 --> 1:31:55.120
<v Speaker 1>where is it in his life or where is it

1:31:55.120 --> 1:31:57.439
<v Speaker 1>in your life or my life? And look, the spiritual

1:31:57.520 --> 1:32:00.639
<v Speaker 1>fruit can be said from a public polo see standpoint.

1:32:00.720 --> 1:32:04.080
<v Speaker 1>He has delivered a plus for evangelicals in the first years.

1:32:04.040 --> 1:32:05.679
<v Speaker 1>A matter of fact, I talked to an evangelical leader

1:32:05.720 --> 1:32:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the other day, I said, so, what's on the to

1:32:07.200 --> 1:32:09.960
<v Speaker 1>do listen to two th eighteen? He said, my goodness,

1:32:09.960 --> 1:32:12.400
<v Speaker 1>we're starting to run out of things. I mean literally

1:32:12.439 --> 1:32:15.519
<v Speaker 1>the president from Jerusalem to the Gorsage to the life issue,

1:32:16.040 --> 1:32:18.559
<v Speaker 1>he's been spot on and evangelicals have loved every minute

1:32:18.560 --> 1:32:21.960
<v Speaker 1>of it. All Right, David Brody, congratulations on a great book.
