Speaker 1: want us right down our toll free telephone number. You
Speaker 1: want to be a part of this extravaganza. A lot
Speaker 1: in the news today. We got five stories were really
Speaker 1: following today, the not the least of which is our
Speaker 1: continuation of the Russia conspiracy story and surveillance and I'm
Speaker 1: masking and leaking of intelligence and now the White House
Speaker 1: has urged the House Intel Committee to investigate Evelyn farkas
Speaker 1: Um who predicted that from the get go I did,
Speaker 1: so we'll get to that today. Also, the media wants
Speaker 1: to distract you and say, oh, what Devin noun is
Speaker 1: the House Intelligence Committee? German dinn is outrageous. He shared
Speaker 1: with the President the White House is involved. Um, they're
Speaker 1: lying to you because what they don't want you to
Speaker 1: focus on is the big issue that well, then candidate
Speaker 1: the opposing party, candidate Trump, was surveiled by the current
Speaker 1: administration and by all the looks of this, it seems
Speaker 1: like not only surveillance, but I'm masking and laws broken
Speaker 1: by intelligence leaks. We know that happened in the case
Speaker 1: of General Flynn. By the way, we'll talk about the
Speaker 1: media spin on General Flynn saying, yeah, I got a
Speaker 1: lot to say. I want to hear from General Flynt.
Speaker 1: I'm all for it, and then he's not gonna get immunity.
Speaker 1: I still want him to testify because I think at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, let's find out who's the
Speaker 1: people who are the people responsible for leaking the intelligence
Speaker 1: on General Flynn, destroying his life and career and ruining
Speaker 1: his reputation. Then we've got an unprecedented moment beginning to happen,
Speaker 1: and that is Democrats are trying to spend very hard
Speaker 1: today that it will be Senator Mitch McConnell's fault if
Speaker 1: the majority leader and his colleagues are forced to invoke
Speaker 1: the nuclear option to end the Democratic gridlock on Judge
Speaker 1: Neil Gorsch. But the fact and the truth are very
Speaker 1: different as well. The meeting won't tell you this. It's
Speaker 1: actually Chucky Schumer and the Democrats now going scorched earth,
Speaker 1: and they're so livid at anything Donald Trump does that
Speaker 1: they are starting an anti Gorcia Gorsus campaign that threatens
Speaker 1: to blow up a Senate tradition. You see, they don't
Speaker 1: even want to have an up or down vote on
Speaker 1: Neil Gorsuch, even though it was a signature issue in
Speaker 1: the campaign. Who would pick the next Supreme Court nominee?
Speaker 1: And it would be the first ever. It this is
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer's plan, the first ever partisan filibuster of a
Speaker 1: Supreme Court nominee, and Schumer and the Democrats would be
Speaker 1: breaking in over two hundred year Senate tradition. Now, if
Speaker 1: they do that, as I've been saying, Republicans are just
Speaker 1: played too nice. Republicans allow up and down votes for
Speaker 1: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and you know Sonia Soto mayor, and uh,
Speaker 1: who's the other one. You know, we got all these
Speaker 1: liberal justices Elana Kagan. They're fair, they allow up or
Speaker 1: down votes. But the Democrats don't play by those rules.
Speaker 1: And it has Obama reminded us so often in his
Speaker 1: entire term. Elections have consequences. All right, But I want
Speaker 1: to start with the top story today because I'm I
Speaker 1: have I've had it up to here with something. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna rant and I'm not gonna rave I'm going
Speaker 1: to at the end of this offer an idea and
Speaker 1: a solution to a very big problem that we are
Speaker 1: now experiencing, and that is blame that's being put on
Speaker 1: people that don't deserve to be blamed. And I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the Freedom Caucus. And yes, Donald Trump is he
Speaker 1: he thinks the Freedom Caucus is responsible. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what really just threw me over the ledge. Today.
Speaker 1: I'm reading the New York Times. I know it's a
Speaker 1: piece of garbage, but I've I've flipped through it occasionally
Speaker 1: because it's in my stack. And what I see Adam Kinziger.
Speaker 1: Where is Where is he from? Kinzger? He's from Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't even remember anyway. So he's a Republican and
Speaker 1: he writes this long drawn out start how the Freedom
Speaker 1: Caucuses undermining the GEOP and he's from Illinois. That's right,
Speaker 1: all right, And I'm thinking, really undermining the GOP. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get lectures from you. And then I googled Adam
Speaker 1: Kinzinger and his name, and I started reading the article,
Speaker 1: and of course everything is the Freedom Caucus, his fault,
Speaker 1: that's why healthcare bill didn't pass, etcetera, etcetera. And what
Speaker 1: did I find, Oh, Adam Kinzinger Trump absolutely wrong for
Speaker 1: a sane tweet, He goes on Trump Sweden common an
Speaker 1: embarrassing moment. Representative Kinzinger Trump says Trump's vote fraud claims
Speaker 1: undermine the Constitution. He says President Trump's you know the
Speaker 1: vote what we don't vote fraud is in the country.
Speaker 1: We know, you just haven't been able to get the
Speaker 1: exact numbers. I can't defend Trump's criticism of intelligence on Russia,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to Adam Kinzinger, he says, I can't.
Speaker 1: That not just another article of his. He also says
Speaker 1: he can't vote for Trump. Really, he can't vote for
Speaker 1: your part, his nominee, the people, the people that chose
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to be the nominee of the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: He didn't even vote for him. He said he wanted
Speaker 1: to get to the place where he'd feel comfortable endorsing
Speaker 1: the GOP nominee. But as the Illinois Congressman in our
Speaker 1: Air Force pilot told Wolf Blitzer Wednesday evening, this is
Speaker 1: August three, way before anything had happened anyway, the window
Speaker 1: of support appears to be closed. I don't see how
Speaker 1: I get there anymore. Among the other sins Kinzinger cited
Speaker 1: Trump's comments on NATO, his attacks on a gold Star family,
Speaker 1: blaming George Bush for nine eleven as red lines of
Speaker 1: unforgivable and politics that Trump was crossing. And I'm an
Speaker 1: American before I'm a Republican. Well, maybe the Freedom Caucus
Speaker 1: or Conservatives before the Republican too. You know, King Kensinger,
Speaker 1: by the way, joined Duncan Hunter. By the way, he
Speaker 1: did ask for the pardon for Clint Lauran. So we're
Speaker 1: glad about one thing he did. Here's the point. You
Speaker 1: didn't support your pop he's nominee, and now you're gonna
Speaker 1: lecture the Freedom Caucus for standing on their values and principles.
Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. And with all due respect to
Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House, you know, he wasn't out
Speaker 1: there endorsing President Trump much either. He wouldn't even be
Speaker 1: seen with him during the campaign. Now, let's be just
Speaker 1: totally blunt and honest here. Most of the Freedom Caucus
Speaker 1: members supported the President in his election. They would stood
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism at times. Anybody that supported Trump
Speaker 1: took a lot of criticism and a lot of heat.
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan. You know he unloaded on Donald Trump's plan
Speaker 1: to ban Muslims from entering the U S, which was
Speaker 1: never his plan. Donald Trump never said that. Have that
Speaker 1: article in front of me. Here's another article CNN. Paul
Speaker 1: Ryan rips Donald Trump remarks his textbook definition of a
Speaker 1: racist comment. That's what he said, bias because of Mexican
Speaker 1: heritage when he made that comment. Paul Ryan calls Trump's
Speaker 1: hero Julian Assan just sycophant for Russia. Paul Ryan, this
Speaker 1: is a news Max criticizes Trump over the use of
Speaker 1: the star of David What. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: that's about. Another headline, Paul Ryan says Trump's campaign is distressing,
Speaker 1: but stands by the endorsement he made. But when in
Speaker 1: the final weeks of the campaign, Paul Ryan told me
Speaker 1: there was no way that Trump could win Wisconsin, told
Speaker 1: me personally, and he was he wouldn't even be seen
Speaker 1: with him. I remember calling the speaker, why are you?
Speaker 1: Why are you not in your state when your presidential
Speaker 1: candidate of your party's going there. I remember asking him,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Paul Ryan widens the crack between
Speaker 1: Hill Republicans and Donald Trump. There's another headline and it
Speaker 1: goes on from there. Now, here's what I'm going to
Speaker 1: do right now, and I'm going to break down and
Speaker 1: tell you the truth about what happened with the health
Speaker 1: care bill. Now I've gone over this in great detail.
Speaker 1: I won't do it now again. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I give the President a lot of
Speaker 1: really really high marks. I think this president, more than
Speaker 1: anybody I've really seen in my lifetime, moves at a
Speaker 1: speed in a pace that is incredible and frankly refreshing,
Speaker 1: especially when dealing with the bureaucracy Washington, d C. Now,
Speaker 1: I've always promised I'm gonna hold people accountable and tell
Speaker 1: you the truth, and I don't care who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm doing here today. And I want
Speaker 1: the President to be able to get the bill that
Speaker 1: the American people want on healthcare, and if it takes
Speaker 1: longer then he likes or anybody else likes, I'd rather
Speaker 1: get it right then get it done fast. That's my position. Now,
Speaker 1: there's really two things that the American people want out
Speaker 1: of a new healthcare bill. They want lower premiums and
Speaker 1: they want better care, and they don't want another increase
Speaker 1: in the next eight years, and they don't want yearly
Speaker 1: increases of a hundred and seventeen like this year in Arizona.
Speaker 1: So it's pretty basic what the people looking for, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of creative ways. The American people don't
Speaker 1: want to hear about reconciliation or process. They don't want
Speaker 1: to hear about the bird rule, they don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about culture votes. And the problem with this bill
Speaker 1: was not the Freedom Caucus. It was the House leadership
Speaker 1: that bots this thing from the beginning. Now what do
Speaker 1: you mean by that, Well, I mean and this is
Speaker 1: and and the thing is it was so unnecessary here.
Speaker 1: This need not have happened this way. But the problem
Speaker 1: is the leadership in the House put a bill in
Speaker 1: to be scored by the CBO. Not one House member
Speaker 1: got to see the bill before they rolled the bill
Speaker 1: out publicly, ding ding, ding ding ding. Huge mistake because
Speaker 1: it's really the job of the leadership to build the
Speaker 1: consensus before you roll out the bill and make sure
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the votes, especially because you've been promised
Speaker 1: seen the American people this for eight years. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So nobody shows anybody the bill. Then they release it
Speaker 1: publicly without any consensus built for the bill, and then
Speaker 1: there's a public civil war breaking out on national television
Speaker 1: and on radio and everywhere else because this this particular group,
Speaker 1: the Moderates are against this part, and the Tuesday groups
Speaker 1: against this part, and the study groups against this part,
Speaker 1: and the Freedom Caucus against this part. And then they
Speaker 1: just hand the bill that nobody saw before it and
Speaker 1: they put the presidents and him out there to support
Speaker 1: the bill. It's not his job to legislate, he's the
Speaker 1: executive branch. But to the President's credit, he did all
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting, got as many votes as he could,
Speaker 1: try to make as many changes with these different factions
Speaker 1: within the party as he possibly could. There was a
Speaker 1: three week period according to Mark Meadows and Freedom Caucus
Speaker 1: members I've talked to, with the leadership in the House
Speaker 1: wouldn't even talk to them at all. And remember on
Speaker 1: this program, Mark Meadows said, Hey, I give the President
Speaker 1: a a a plus for reaching out and working with
Speaker 1: us and trying to to save this thing nobody had
Speaker 1: seen before. But the leadership in the House wasn't talking
Speaker 1: to them. Meadows and the President apparently had a deal.
Speaker 1: But as soon as Meadows left the Oval office, than
Speaker 1: the people that work with leadership said, well, we're not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do that because of reconciliation and
Speaker 1: process and not la la la la. You know, how
Speaker 1: do you release a bill that not one member saw?
Speaker 1: How do you release a bill knowing you have coalitions
Speaker 1: in your party? How do you release a bill that
Speaker 1: not one separate group is on board with? And you
Speaker 1: know a more intelligent way to do this would build
Speaker 1: the bill, bring in smart think tanks like Heritage Action,
Speaker 1: and bring in CATO. They wrote, you know, that's where
Speaker 1: patient healthcare savings accounts came from. Musgrave and Goodman Patient
Speaker 1: Powers the name of the book. I'd suggest anyone in
Speaker 1: d C read the thing. And then after you do that,
Speaker 1: bring in other groups like the Club for Growth and
Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperity. There's smart people at these things tanks.
Speaker 1: They can paid a lot of money to study this
Speaker 1: full time. And then you bring in the Freedom Caucus
Speaker 1: find out what they need, and you bring in the moderates,
Speaker 1: find out what they need in the study group and
Speaker 1: the Tuesday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday night group and bring everybody together.
Speaker 1: And what you do is you build a bill and Okay,
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna have to live with this. Nothing's perfect.
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna have to live with this. You
Speaker 1: give here, will give there, and lo and behold. You
Speaker 1: build the bill that you know is gonna pass, and
Speaker 1: then you roll it out and in the in the
Speaker 1: same time, you build consensus in the Senate, because the
Speaker 1: House passes their build, the Senate passes there bill. If
Speaker 1: they're that dramatically different in conference, it's gonna blow up there.
Speaker 1: So you bring all these groups together. That's how it
Speaker 1: should have been handled. And now this blame game and
Speaker 1: having somebody like Kinzinger attack the Freedom canc I just
Speaker 1: can't take it because they obviously botch this thing from
Speaker 1: the get go. Now I have a solution and an answer.
Speaker 1: When we get back, I'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 1: Gun sells skyrocketing around the country. Why people concerned about
Speaker 1: their safety, their Second Amendment rights. They're buying more unsixt
Speaker 1: increase sales this year compared to last based on FBI
Speaker 1: data background checks. Hell, look, if you own a gun,
Speaker 1: you own obviously valuables, you own important papers. You need
Speaker 1: to protect these important items. Now, I did all my
Speaker 1: research long before liberty Safe ever became an advertiser on
Speaker 1: the program. Not only are they made in the USA,
Speaker 1: not only do they have the best customer service, but
Speaker 1: they have the best, the greatest safes built in the world.
Speaker 1: They're that good. And I've got five of them. I
Speaker 1: got a big one, I got a medium sized one,
Speaker 1: and I got three small quick access handgun vaults. And
Speaker 1: the bottom line is I bought Liberty because they're the best. Now,
Speaker 1: right now, you're gonna get the best service of all.
Speaker 1: And you can save up to two fifty bucks when
Speaker 1: you go to liberty safe dot com. Just use the
Speaker 1: promo code Hannity. Liberty will give you up to two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks off and discounts rebates. They are
Speaker 1: the best built safe for your valuables, your important papers,
Speaker 1: for any firearms you have. Go to Liberty safe dot
Speaker 1: com put in my name to save money Liberty safe
Speaker 1: dot com promo code Hanity. Questions are for base buildings only,
Speaker 1: to not include window stores and accessories. Warning, don't let
Speaker 1: your business get left behind in what is likely to
Speaker 1: be the biggest economic boom in recent history. If you
Speaker 1: need to build to grow your business called general steel,
Speaker 1: today steel prices are expected to rise, but you can
Speaker 1: still lock in your price on a General Steel building
Speaker 1: if you call now. For example, a forty by sixty
Speaker 1: ft building is still less than twenty five thousand. Even
Speaker 1: in eighty by one fifty foot building is under ninety
Speaker 1: nine thousand. Imagine twelve thousand square feet for under ninety
Speaker 1: nine thousand. This building is designed for your needs, no
Speaker 1: wasted space, and you get the General's quality and fifty
Speaker 1: year structural warranty at a price you can afford. You
Speaker 1: can still save as much as half the cost and
Speaker 1: time of conventional construction by calling General Steel today, as
Speaker 1: much as half. So don't let rising steel prices put
Speaker 1: your project out of reach and stop you from making
Speaker 1: your company great. Call now eight seven seven eighty one steel.
Speaker 1: It's not too late. Call eight seven seven eighty one steel.
Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven eight one seven eighty three thirty five.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna belabor this point all day here today,
Speaker 1: because it just is not I just don't see the
Speaker 1: upsided nous. Nobody saw the bill. They released the healthcare bill.
Speaker 1: Now you've got guys that don't even vote for Trump,
Speaker 1: like Adam Kensinger slamming the Freedom Caucus. I just you
Speaker 1: know what, he's been useless. Now after eight years, it's
Speaker 1: pretty unforgivable. But there's really only one solution at this point,
Speaker 1: and every they've got to go back and build consensus.
Speaker 1: Talk to the moderates. The Tuesday group, talked to the
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus, talked to the Wednesday group, the Saturday Night group,
Speaker 1: the group that has no group talked to him all
Speaker 1: and get to the study group. Get them all in
Speaker 1: there and go to each member. Bring in Secretary Price,
Speaker 1: bringing the Vice President Pence, bring in people from the
Speaker 1: White House. Bring in the Senate, bringing crews, bringing Rand,
Speaker 1: bring in UH, Senator Tom Cotton, bring in McConnell. This
Speaker 1: way the House and Senate can get on the same page,
Speaker 1: and that would expedite any process or conflict during conference
Speaker 1: and get the job done. So everybody's got to understand here.
Speaker 1: It's like Michael Crichton, I explained the movie Michael Crichton.
Speaker 1: Michael Crichton is in this movie. Uh, Michael Douglas is
Speaker 1: in this movie. It's called Disclosure. His book Disclosure. I
Speaker 1: read the book, I watched the movie. The movie is
Speaker 1: pretty good. Demi Moore did a good job, and so
Speaker 1: did uh Michael Douglas and and Sutherland is in there too,
Speaker 1: is one of the older guys. Anyway, long story, they
Speaker 1: try to set this guy up, and and Michael Douglas
Speaker 1: has a friend who's telling him solve the problem. So
Speaker 1: instead of pointing figure fingers, now they should go back
Speaker 1: and do what they should have done in the beginning,
Speaker 1: and that is get all these groups together behind closed doors.
Speaker 1: I keep saying, locked the door, Order pizza, beer, ice cream, crayons,
Speaker 1: coloring books, throw away the key, and do your job.
Speaker 1: That's the only answer you have at this point. And
Speaker 1: get a bill, Build the bill the president wants and
Speaker 1: will sign. Build the consensus you should have built before.
Speaker 1: Get a bill that's gonna answer the needs of the
Speaker 1: American people, which are very simple. Lower premiums, better care,
Speaker 1: more access, and get your job done. After eight years,
Speaker 1: turn off the TV cameras, going to stop the intramural fighting.
Speaker 1: It looks bad. It looks like you're not prepared to lead,
Speaker 1: and all of the leaking. And they've got a window
Speaker 1: here where they can fix the mistake that they built here.
Speaker 1: But attacking the Freedom Caucus. Some of the most loyal
Speaker 1: supporters of Donald Trump during the campaign is just to
Speaker 1: me unfair. It's not their fault. They didn't see the bill.
Speaker 1: It's not their fault. They don't agree with everything in
Speaker 1: the bill. And I just think, you know this and
Speaker 1: Tim Nation arm twisting, all of this was so unnecessary.
Speaker 1: And why I'm sitting here on the sidelines having to
Speaker 1: tell these people this is beyond frustrating. I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: to say peep about this. They should have done their
Speaker 1: job from the get go. We wouldn't be in the
Speaker 1: position we are in now. Will continue. We are bad
Speaker 1: for America. You know, a friend of mine sent me
Speaker 1: an interesting and really close friend of mine, somebody that
Speaker 1: I care about a lot. I'll tell you what. It's
Speaker 1: never burling game. She lost her brother on nine eleven,
Speaker 1: was flying the who was flying the American Airlines plane
Speaker 1: that day? Anyway, she said, send me a quote of
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson and Jefferson saying that about the press, nothing
Speaker 1: can now be believed that is seen in the newspaper.
Speaker 1: Truth becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.
Speaker 1: The real extent of this state of misinformation is known
Speaker 1: only to those who are in situations to confront facts
Speaker 1: within their non ledge with the lies of the day,
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson. I guess Ted Copple would say it's bad
Speaker 1: for America anyway, putting out aside. All right, I'm leaving
Speaker 1: this for tonight. I'm just really do I have to
Speaker 1: listen to the likes of Adam Kinzinger, the biggest Trump
Speaker 1: critic didn't vote for Trump, said he wouldn't vote for Trump.
Speaker 1: You have to listen to him lecture the Freedom Caucus, No,
Speaker 1: thank you, how about next time you do it the
Speaker 1: right way? In the House leadership gets their act together. Um,
Speaker 1: don't be surprised in the next couple of days. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to watch. You're gonna see more
Speaker 1: stories about Chuck Schumer screaming out a waitress or chewing
Speaker 1: out a flight attendant because it looks like his plan
Speaker 1: to filibuster the Gorsiic domination and may have a chance
Speaker 1: of crumbling before his eyes. I'm not so sure I'm
Speaker 1: getting there yet anyway. West Virginia Senator Joe Manshin, North
Speaker 1: Dakota Senator Heidi hike Camp said today that they are
Speaker 1: going to allow an upper down vote. Their announcements were
Speaker 1: and then Pat lay He said he's not sure if
Speaker 1: he's gonna support the filibuster. And then we have a
Speaker 1: tape of Claire mccaskulos up in twenty eighteen saying she's
Speaker 1: not sure if she's gonna support it. Look, what Schumers
Speaker 1: trying to say is, oh, what they're doing is outrageous.
Speaker 1: What they're doing here is horrible. You know this they
Speaker 1: might invoke the nuclear option, even though Harry Reid did
Speaker 1: it himself, but not for a Supreme Court nomination. But
Speaker 1: the real precedence here is there's never been in two
Speaker 1: hundred years a party blocking a judge over a partisan filibuster,
Speaker 1: in other words, blocking an up or down vote of
Speaker 1: the choice of the president. Now that's not advising consent.
Speaker 1: They don't even want to vote on this. So the
Speaker 1: unprecedented move would be Chuck Schumer's and they're trying to
Speaker 1: spend really hard votes Senator McConnell's fault. No, Senator McConnell
Speaker 1: is responding to their unprecedented move and then pulling Look,
Speaker 1: Republicans don't they don't play by the same rules. Elana Kagan,
Speaker 1: Sonja sdom Warn, Ruth Bader Ginsberg. They all get up
Speaker 1: or down boats. You know they're gonna pass. And you know,
Speaker 1: the left wing radicals, there's not a choice. Republicans play fair.
Speaker 1: The Democrats never play fair, So stop playing by their rules.
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer's not fair. Chuck Schumer wants you know. That's
Speaker 1: why it's kind of laughable, this idea that that the
Speaker 1: president is going to reach out to Democrats. They want
Speaker 1: to destroy Donald Trump. They're part of this whole conspiracy
Speaker 1: to take them down any way they can. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: see how that works out. Let me give you another
Speaker 1: line of attack here that has been going on. So
Speaker 1: Devin Nunez gets a hold of information that in fact
Speaker 1: confirms what Sarah Carter, John Solomon, James Rosen, and myself
Speaker 1: and others have been saying. Yeah, there was real surveillance.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was right when he said that surveillance was
Speaker 1: taking place at Trump Tower by the Obama administration. And
Speaker 1: we discovered, oh, Sarah's Carter and John Solomon point out, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was. There was a FISA warrant that was issued
Speaker 1: in early October, and there was a regular criminal warrant
Speaker 1: issued in early October. And as part of the ancillary
Speaker 1: investigation into whether or not Russia was influencing the election
Speaker 1: or tried to. Well, yeah, they got into the Trump's
Speaker 1: server in the middle of the campaign, which just so
Speaker 1: happened to be the same servant for the entire campaign.
Speaker 1: And then of course Devin Nunez has information that shows that, um,
Speaker 1: all the surveillance went a lot deeper than that, and
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, it continued beyond November eight
Speaker 1: all through November December, in January, and the president was
Speaker 1: in fact being surveiled and it seems like for political purposes.
Speaker 1: So he finds his sources that have proof, he gets
Speaker 1: the proof, and he brings it to the president. Now,
Speaker 1: the Democrats, you think there would be upset that a
Speaker 1: a presidential candidate in opposition party candidate, then a president
Speaker 1: elect was being surveilled by the current president occupant of
Speaker 1: the Oval office, maybe not him personally, but his administration.
Speaker 1: What did he know? When did he know it? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Will we ever get to the bottom of it?
Speaker 1: Who knows? But the question is all the media wants
Speaker 1: to focus. This is outrageous. He needs to accuse himself
Speaker 1: and step down. Well, let's ask the question. Does the
Speaker 1: disclosure of intelligence data, whether it be given by a
Speaker 1: White House official, the White House Council. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: who are authorized to have material and give it to
Speaker 1: the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Is that a
Speaker 1: violation of law? No, it's not. Stay secular and and
Speaker 1: the American Center for Law and Justice put up a
Speaker 1: great piece about this tonight. Now also we have Pete
Speaker 1: Hoekstra weighing in on this because the alt left democratic
Speaker 1: destroyed Trump media is trying to pretend that when Nunez
Speaker 1: went to the White House to view sensitive intelligence on
Speaker 1: the Obama surveillance operations, it's a crime of the century.
Speaker 1: It's just not true. While according to the former House
Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee chairman Pete Hoekstra, that's the way sensitive intelligence
Speaker 1: has always been handled by passed committee chairman. So there's
Speaker 1: nothing new about this. For years, Intelligence Committee chiefs have
Speaker 1: trekked on over to the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue
Speaker 1: or to an intelligence agency to view supersensitive intelligence material
Speaker 1: because the Congressional Secure Room can handle that material. So
Speaker 1: he was doing what he was supposed to do, what
Speaker 1: people before them have done. Anyway, so the Pete Hochstra
Speaker 1: went out there and told the Daily Caller, if someone
Speaker 1: was gonna present me with raw intelligence or unfinished intelligence
Speaker 1: or with intelligence which was designed to use by another
Speaker 1: part of the government. It's very reasonable to suspect to uh,
Speaker 1: to expect that I would go somewhere else. This is
Speaker 1: basically standard operating procedure. So you see what the media
Speaker 1: is trying to do, the trying to tear down nun Nunez,
Speaker 1: because Nunez actually did his job the way it's always
Speaker 1: been done. But you see the perfect obfuscation because now
Speaker 1: they get to say, oh, look at this conspiracy. It
Speaker 1: happened on White House grounds. Well, it happened in the
Speaker 1: old Executive office buildings, So not technically yes, but in
Speaker 1: reality no. And it's all done to smear him so
Speaker 1: that they can obstruct from the fact that the surveillance
Speaker 1: and unmasking of and and intel leaks were that severe
Speaker 1: by the former administration, which now brings us to the
Speaker 1: whole Evelyn Farcas issue, which we have been hammering all
Speaker 1: week here on this program. And I mean, for the
Speaker 1: love of God, I mean, somebody tell this woman. I
Speaker 1: almost feel bad for her at this point. She goes
Speaker 1: out there says this thing that becomes news. Jeffrey Lord
Speaker 1: I talked to him earlier. He's gonna join us on
Speaker 1: the program later. He let her, I guess put in
Speaker 1: the American Spectator, unedited words and her explanation of all this.
Speaker 1: Now she's claiming the Russians did it and on the
Speaker 1: dark campaign of fake muss you know that's still ongoing. Um,
Speaker 1: we see even someone like my self gets sweeped up
Speaker 1: in all of this. You know, when when people like
Speaker 1: me are speaking on behalf of process, people spin it
Speaker 1: uh to suit their needs. And I think it may
Speaker 1: be that the Russians are behind even such fake news
Speaker 1: today would be the Russians did it. The Russians didn't,
Speaker 1: you know, No Hampshire, the States sent it up. There's
Speaker 1: considering stopping selling Russian vodka. Thank god we've got Titos,
Speaker 1: which comes out of Texas, because who needs stole nay
Speaker 1: at that point. Um, that's how ridiculous this has gotten.
Speaker 1: This is so absurd. This lady is now claiming the
Speaker 1: Russians did it? What does he what does she think
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin? Laddie called me and said, hey, hey, Hannity, Hannity,
Speaker 1: I have a little more flexibility now since Hillary law So, UM,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pass on this intel to you. My last us. Basically, yes,
Speaker 1: I said, my lusions are more flexible. Let's state disperishing
Speaker 1: to listen to the end. Farcas said in the original
Speaker 1: statement on Liberal Joe, I'm urging my former colleagues get
Speaker 1: as much information, get as much intelligence as you can.
Speaker 1: This is raw intelligence. You don't have a warrant to
Speaker 1: tap into Donald Trump. That's illegal. Leaking it as illegal.
Speaker 1: They didn't have a warrant. And then she even confirms
Speaker 1: that that unmasking took place. The Trump folks, if they
Speaker 1: found out how we knew what we knew about. There,
Speaker 1: the Trump's staff, you know, dealing with the Russians, they
Speaker 1: try to compromise sources and methods. This is how insane
Speaker 1: this is anyway, I mean, it's crazy. Then she walks
Speaker 1: it all back and they now they're blaming Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: for all of this. And all I did was play
Speaker 1: her in its full context. Now she's even claiming Jeff
Speaker 1: Lord says that it was edited. No, there's nothing edited
Speaker 1: here that I know of. It's supposedly a live show.
Speaker 1: And if she has taped to prove its editor, I'll
Speaker 1: play the whole thing on the program. If if she
Speaker 1: has evidence that Vladimir Putin called me bring it on,
Speaker 1: because I never talked to Vladimir in my life. I
Speaker 1: don't even think I've ever talked to anybody in Russia
Speaker 1: my whole life. I'd have an interview with I know
Speaker 1: it's subceed it's the whole thing is getting nuts now,
Speaker 1: it gets even you know, she's like the chatty Cathy
Speaker 1: of the Obama wire tapping scandals. I know she's friends
Speaker 1: with Rick Unger. Tell rick Onnger to tell her a shush.
Speaker 1: I mean, she is now gonna get the how white
Speaker 1: House is urging the House Intelligence Committee, rightly so, to
Speaker 1: investigate farcas And if I'd have to bet, I'd say
Speaker 1: Democrats are gonna end up being extremely sorry they ever
Speaker 1: started with this rushing Gate conspiracy nonsense. It's all gonna
Speaker 1: it's all gonna blow up in their face. Everybody in
Speaker 1: the media. By the way, I'm saving everything, all the
Speaker 1: stupid things these people say. White House is now asking
Speaker 1: Congress to dig deeper into whether communications of Trump associates
Speaker 1: were improperly picked up and disseminated during surveillance operations, after
Speaker 1: Evelyn Farkas suggested her former colleagues tried to gather such material.
Speaker 1: Here's another interesting sidebar to this that there is confirmation
Speaker 1: from NBC News They confirmed the Obama administration officials save
Speaker 1: the Trump Russia probe documents, just like Evelyn Farkas said
Speaker 1: and was suggesting to her colleagues on the Capitol Hill
Speaker 1: of former colleagues as she says, so now uh. The
Speaker 1: White House counsel Dan McGann specifically cited Evelyn Parkiss's comments
Speaker 1: and a letter to the leaders of the House Intelligence
Speaker 1: Committee as he invited lawmakers nowt to view the documents,
Speaker 1: including Adam Schiff, the leading Democrat who was blasting Devin Nunez. Well,
Speaker 1: now he's seen it, so is he gonna blast themselves?
Speaker 1: I mean, this has gotten so afar from what reality is. Oh,
Speaker 1: and then Evelyn Chatty Cathy here, I mean, somebody helped
Speaker 1: this woman out. This woman is gonna be in deep
Speaker 1: trouble here. I wasn't joking the other day. I was.
Speaker 1: I was saying it in a joking manner, But now
Speaker 1: I get the impression this woman has no clue about
Speaker 1: dealing with media. She has no clue about what she
Speaker 1: revealed here, and she did it so nonchalantly. Anyway. She
Speaker 1: goes on in a in a Vox story on February sixteen,
Speaker 1: then saying that, um that it feels something like That's
Speaker 1: why when I talk about our response, what our response
Speaker 1: should be from the perspective of trying to get at
Speaker 1: the facts, I oftentimes invoked nine eleven what she said
Speaker 1: six weeks ago that Russia's hack in the Hillary's campaign
Speaker 1: email was worse for America than a NI eleven attacks. Okay, tell,
Speaker 1: I'm going to call her. I'm really I'm being very
Speaker 1: serious here. This is not good. So the White House
Speaker 1: invited law makers to view the surveillance documents. Now the
Speaker 1: NBC confirmed the Obama administration saved it, just like Farcus said.
Speaker 1: The deputy Trump campaign manager goes on to say, Dave Bossi,
Speaker 1: who served as the chief investigator for the House Government
Speaker 1: Reform Oversight Committee during the nineties, is calling for Evelyn
Speaker 1: Parcus to submit to a light detector test. I picked
Speaker 1: up from the beginning how damaging this was gonna be
Speaker 1: to her anyway. In a Newsmax interview and on Fox
Speaker 1: and Friends, Bossi called on the House and send it
Speaker 1: investigators to subpoena Evelyn Farcas by the way, who predicted that. Hello,
Speaker 1: Remember when I started the show, the Evelyn Parcas. This
Speaker 1: is my advice, not claiming you've broken any laws whatsoever,
Speaker 1: but you may want to controlt with an attorney. I
Speaker 1: was giving her good advice. I was actually being nice. Now, hey, boss,
Speaker 1: she needs to be hooked up to a light detector
Speaker 1: pretty quick and get into deposition before she finds herself
Speaker 1: a very good lawyer that she is going to need.
Speaker 1: They need to be sending her a subpoena. They need
Speaker 1: to be deposing her immediately. There's gonna be a grand
Speaker 1: jury set up about this by the time that's all done.
Speaker 1: Oh here's an interesting side, Barto. New document dump by
Speaker 1: wiki leaks contains information on recently developed CIA cyber warfare technology.
Speaker 1: This is a Vault seven release. Remember they only released
Speaker 1: less than one percent of it, which detail CIA hacking
Speaker 1: tactics that include the CIA's ability to mask their own
Speaker 1: cyber attacks by inserting code fragments and foreign languages, and
Speaker 1: that that tool was used as recently as what do
Speaker 1: we hear from the beginning, Remember, everyone ignored that the
Speaker 1: documents might have been released by a Democrat. This call
Speaker 1: could have been set up. In turn, who knows you
Speaker 1: have you have some unsavory characters and intelligence right now,
Speaker 1: that does not smear the intelligence community, most of whom
Speaker 1: happened to be good people. By the way, there was
Speaker 1: a learning today that Hillary Clinton was granted unprecedented access
Speaker 1: to classified State Department documents after she resigned as Secretary
Speaker 1: of State. Fox News set today anyway, So this is
Speaker 1: getting crazier and crazier by the day. All Right, eight
Speaker 1: nine one Shawn toll free telephone number. You want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. We're like writing a
Speaker 1: spine novel every day. We'll get a new chapter a day. Here. Hey, listen,

Speaker 1: r y s o fi dot com. Alright, so much
Speaker 1: on the docket today, all right. Adam Kinzinger, he said
Speaker 1: he wouldn't even vote for Trump. Now he's gonna excoriate
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus. Wow, that's something Paul Ryan wouldn't even
Speaker 1: be seen with then candidate Donald Trump in his home
Speaker 1: state or anywhere. I don't think he went on the
Speaker 1: campaign trail once told me personally, I don't think we
Speaker 1: can't win Wisconsin. That's not gonna happen. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get to that. Also, the very latest on this Russian
Speaker 1: conspiracy surveillance, unmasking, leaking of intelligence we'll have more on
Speaker 1: these unprecedented attacks on chairman now neez, that's happening. And
Speaker 1: we'll get to a lot of your calls today as well.
Speaker 1: And we have also coming up and Coulter's going to
Speaker 1: join us today and Jeffrey Lord who and Rick Unger
Speaker 1: that both know this woman farcus boy. Somebody needs to
Speaker 1: tell her get off TV like yesterday, straight ahead right
Speaker 1: an hour two Sean Hannity Show told free telephone numbers
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the programmer right as we continue the
Speaker 1: you know who are Donald Trump's real friends? And I'm
Speaker 1: looking at all these comments of you know, all these
Speaker 1: people that have taken on the president, didn't support him
Speaker 1: in the election, and all of a sudden now that
Speaker 1: I guess the healthcare bill didn't go as he wanted.
Speaker 1: He thinks that the Freedom Caucuses his enemy. I don't
Speaker 1: think believe that for a second. And uh, I'm especially
Speaker 1: ticked off at the piece that I read by Adam Kinzinger.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy. You look at all
Speaker 1: the articles, oh Kinsinger Trump wrong on on the hossannge tweet,
Speaker 1: Trump's Sweden common and embarrassing moment, uh saying the United
Speaker 1: States was uh was a terrorist attack and there wasn't
Speaker 1: you know, going on and on everything, and he said
Speaker 1: he wouldn't vot for him. But now he's lecturing the
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus who did support him and helped get him elected.
Speaker 1: It's a little frustrating. And then he had a Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House that wouldn't even appear with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: when he was a candidate. But it's the Freedom Caucus
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Well, maybe Eve, Paul Ryan and the
Speaker 1: legislative branch after eight years would have put together a
Speaker 1: bill that was consensus driven and that brought all the
Speaker 1: different coalitions in the Republican Party in the House together
Speaker 1: before they unveiled this bill. It would have worked out
Speaker 1: a lot better for everybody anyway. And Coulter is with us,
Speaker 1: and of course e Pluribus awesome, the Case for Trump
Speaker 1: and New York Times bestseller How are You? Fantastic? And
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say I agree with everything you just said.
Speaker 1: Me too. It's sad. I'm like, what's going on here?
Speaker 1: You know, who's our real friends and all of us?
Speaker 1: No I know, and I don't know. I as um
Speaker 1: you know, I keep holding the Emperor God Trump harmless
Speaker 1: on everything. So whoever told him UM to send out
Speaker 1: those mean tweets about the Freedom Caucus should be fired
Speaker 1: and kept a way from him as much as possible. Now.
Speaker 1: I think this is a This is a terrible mistake,
Speaker 1: particularly because of what a disaster that Obamacare like was.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we would have been wiped out in
Speaker 1: the mid terms if that had gone through. It is
Speaker 1: the classic Republican move. We won't actually overturn all the
Speaker 1: socialist stuff the Democrats did. We'll just give you less
Speaker 1: free stuff. Oh that's fantastic, Um. And as I described
Speaker 1: in my colum this week, And I look, I understand
Speaker 1: the politics of this. I've I've worked in the Senate, UM,
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of times conservative purists in
Speaker 1: this way or that can come up with, you know,
Speaker 1: the perfect plan, the perfect deal, and and politicians sit
Speaker 1: back and say, yeah, but we're never going to get
Speaker 1: that passed. We have constituents, we have Democrats. No, the
Speaker 1: bill I have, UM is beautiful. Democrats can't vote against it.
Speaker 1: It is very simple. You keep everyone on Obamacare who
Speaker 1: wants to say on Obamacare. There is no one to
Speaker 1: complain about that, but you allow a free market in
Speaker 1: health insurance, nationwide free market. Within a year of Americans
Speaker 1: will be buying their health insurance on the free market.
Speaker 1: I'll finally have decent health insurance where um, if I
Speaker 1: get cancer, I can go to a decent cancer hospital,
Speaker 1: but I won't have to pay through my health insurance
Speaker 1: premiums for everyone else's you know, transgender operations and pregnancies
Speaker 1: and prenatal natal care and gambling addiction therapy. That is
Speaker 1: how Obamacare is paid for. That is the true evil
Speaker 1: of Obamacare. Instead of just being a standard welfare program
Speaker 1: that we pay for, everybody pays taxes or in Buffett
Speaker 1: pays more than and does um and out of the
Speaker 1: general funds the welfare cases are funded. No, this is
Speaker 1: a welfare program that we pay for through our insurance
Speaker 1: premiums and and pays as much, probably more than more
Speaker 1: in Buffett does. I'm sorry, that's just not fair. Please
Speaker 1: let us just have a free market in health insurance.
Speaker 1: We can have little geck Gos on TV advertise. I
Speaker 1: think the Great plans good prices. The free market always
Speaker 1: provides better access, better prices. I don't want Paul Ryan
Speaker 1: figuring out what my premium should do. I want an
Speaker 1: insurance company competing for my business, and Congress would just
Speaker 1: do that within a year. The welfare cases would be
Speaker 1: much smaller, and they can figure out, you know, his little,
Speaker 1: you know, precious quasi free market ways to deliver that.
Speaker 1: But who cares if they vote against it. It's just
Speaker 1: another welfare plan paid out of a general fund as
Speaker 1: opposed to through our insurance premiums. Have you been following?
Speaker 1: And I agree with everything you just said, and you
Speaker 1: said it very articulately. I don't have much to add
Speaker 1: to it. The free market solves all our problems. Have
Speaker 1: you been following the attacks on Devin Newness? And and
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been watching my show and
Speaker 1: all this tape that I keep playing of evil and
Speaker 1: farcas who used to work for Obama. Fantastic. I'm so
Speaker 1: glad you're playing that. No, I'm in l A. I'm
Speaker 1: always going to dinner right when your show comes on. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready right before you come on. I'll have
Speaker 1: to have later dinner appointments. Um. But yes, you're aware
Speaker 1: of the story is hilarious. They just keep it really
Speaker 1: is nineteen George Orwell's eighty four where they keeps cycling
Speaker 1: through a new, a new Emmanuel Gold scene. That was
Speaker 1: the guy, the fictional person they put up on screen
Speaker 1: and have the two minutes hate where all the people
Speaker 1: would just scream, their faces contorted in rage, scream at
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Gold scene. So our manual Gold scene so far
Speaker 1: have been well, of course Trump himself, Steve Bannon, uh,
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller, UM, Kelly Anne Conway, UH, Michael Flann oh, um,
Speaker 1: um Divost the Education secretary, and now we're cycling through
Speaker 1: this poor Devin noon. Is the question I have about
Speaker 1: this is even if everything they say is correct, and
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess it seems to be that, um,
Speaker 1: some of the information Representative Nona's got was from um
Speaker 1: White House people working looking over the counter intelligence from
Speaker 1: the Obama Europe So what so what isn't the isn't
Speaker 1: the issue supposed to be? Why were they surveilling either
Speaker 1: a candidate opposition party candidate, a president elect and his
Speaker 1: entire staff. And this is where it gets interesting with
Speaker 1: this woman and Evelyn Farcas, And we'll have more on
Speaker 1: this at the top of the next hour. You know,
Speaker 1: when she goes out there. I'm urging my former colleagues
Speaker 1: get as much intelligence as you can. And I fear
Speaker 1: this this information, the intelligence will disappear. And if the
Speaker 1: Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what
Speaker 1: we knew about the Trump staff dealing with the Russians,
Speaker 1: they'd compromise sources and methods. And I'm like, so she's
Speaker 1: in she's admitting to surveillance, unmasking, and talking about leaking. Yes,
Speaker 1: she's bragging about how Trump was so dangerous we were
Speaker 1: surveiling him and now, oh yeah, well maybe not, maybe
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have been doing that. Um. No, the underlying
Speaker 1: crime here is is actually pretty shocked to have a
Speaker 1: president of the United States, um surveiling an opposition candidate
Speaker 1: or you know, people around him. Um. Remember at one
Speaker 1: of the debates, Um, Trump had that fantastic joke, Um
Speaker 1: when when Hillary said something like, well, you know, heaven
Speaker 1: forbid that you'd be in charge of of law enforcement
Speaker 1: in this country, and he said, yeah, because you'd be
Speaker 1: in jail. And the left one mental claiming this is
Speaker 1: like a third it's a banana republic. He's threatening to
Speaker 1: put an opponent in jail. Well, no, he wasn't threatening
Speaker 1: to put her in jail for being his opponent. It
Speaker 1: was if she has committed a crime, she would be
Speaker 1: subject to the criminal justice system the same as any
Speaker 1: other um, um citizen. This is not a third Banana Republic.
Speaker 1: That's where you put your opponent in prison just for
Speaker 1: being your opponent. That's what is going on here, the
Speaker 1: Obama administration surveiling people around Trump just because he was
Speaker 1: the opponents that that is Banana Republic terror to worry, um.
Speaker 1: And I suppose their argument would be, um, although I
Speaker 1: would love to hear them make it that what Nunas
Speaker 1: did wrong was, um, he's not operating as just you know,
Speaker 1: a purely nonpartisan judge, as as if it's a courtroom,
Speaker 1: and and he's going to one party involved in all
Speaker 1: of this. But okay, could we go back to those
Speaker 1: Eric Holder hearings and see how nonpartisan the Democrats were, Um,
Speaker 1: See how non part is in the White House was.
Speaker 1: They did everything they could to to block Eric Holder
Speaker 1: from telling us the truth about that insane Fast and
Speaker 1: Furious program and many other things. Eric Holder, the Attorney
Speaker 1: General of the United States, was held in contempt and
Speaker 1: the White House refused to enforce it. In fact, this
Speaker 1: White House ought to enforce that contempt order. I don't
Speaker 1: think the Statute of limitations is run on that um.
Speaker 1: The idea that Democrats are just you know, these nonpartisans
Speaker 1: seekers of truth at congressional hearings is madness. Well, you
Speaker 1: know when you watch we've listened now for eight months
Speaker 1: about this in conspiracy with the election, and yet there's
Speaker 1: not a shred of evidence. Now, we do know in
Speaker 1: the case of General Flynn, that a felony was committed
Speaker 1: because they released intelligence and they leaked intelligence. So that's
Speaker 1: that would be a violation of the Espionage Act and
Speaker 1: a felony. But if you ask the legal question, does
Speaker 1: the disclosure of any intelligence data by White House officials
Speaker 1: that are authorized to have the materials given to the
Speaker 1: chairman of the House Intelligence Committee violate the law in
Speaker 1: any way, shape, matter of form. Well, even the New
Speaker 1: York Times concedes there's no accusation of law breaking. And
Speaker 1: if I think that if a president was being surveiled,
Speaker 1: that is something the country needs to know, who knew,
Speaker 1: what went and where, and of Evelyn Farcas, who wasn't
Speaker 1: even in the Obama administration at that time. If she
Speaker 1: knew about it, and she's talking about spreading the information.
Speaker 1: I'm urging my colleagues, get as much intelligence as you can.
Speaker 1: And if the Trump folks find out how we knew
Speaker 1: what we knew about their Trump staff dealing with Russia, well,
Speaker 1: now we're talking about other potential crimes, aren't we, And
Speaker 1: that is surveying selling. Why were they surveiling? Were they
Speaker 1: using the ruse of of gathering foreign intelligence? Why were
Speaker 1: they amasking? When she says if the Trump staff finds
Speaker 1: out what we knew about them, okay, they're amasking who
Speaker 1: the individuals Americans were, But there was no warrant at
Speaker 1: all to get that intelligence on an American citizen. And
Speaker 1: the third thing is when she talks about, oh, get
Speaker 1: as much intelligence as you can, I'm urging my former colleagues.
Speaker 1: So I think that if anything, that this, this statement
Speaker 1: of hers should open up a Pandora's box, and I
Speaker 1: would expect the House Intelligence Committee and maybe the Attorney
Speaker 1: General to begin investigations. Yes, it's interesting of the two claims,
Speaker 1: the Russia collusion with the Trump campaign, every single part
Speaker 1: there's zero evidence for it, and in fact, the sort
Speaker 1: of week week t evidence they have put forward. It
Speaker 1: all keeps falling apart. Um. But Trump's claimed that he
Speaker 1: was quote why are tapped? No, the evidence just keeps
Speaker 1: accumulating to that. I mean, in addition to the farcus quote,
Speaker 1: there's the fact that these versations with Michael Flynn not
Speaker 1: only were taped, but were released to the media. I mean,
Speaker 1: whether or not a crime is committed is committed here,
Speaker 1: and we know there was. But the leaking aspect of it, um,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not with the gathering of it, we know
Speaker 1: which happened. That is a fact. Whereas from the beginning
Speaker 1: from that fact, and that's a felony. Is just craziness.
Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy. Consider what people in America who
Speaker 1: are paying attention to the election, what they thought was
Speaker 1: going to happen on election day. Um, the Russians are
Speaker 1: pretty good spy masters, um, even assuming they'd get something
Speaker 1: out of it. But the things that you could influence
Speaker 1: an election where according to the New York Times, Hillary
Speaker 1: had chance of winning. Um, No, this isn't how how
Speaker 1: spycraft works. I mean, what if these now it looks
Speaker 1: like they weren't even the ones who taps. I gotta
Speaker 1: put you on hold here. But remember too. Obama, did
Speaker 1: we know try to influence the Israeli elections. Nobody seems
Speaker 1: to care about that little point that's been proven. It's
Speaker 1: only bad if somebody tries to do it to us,
Speaker 1: which there's no evidence they did. All right, stay right there.
Speaker 1: More than culture on the other side, listen, Protecting your
Speaker 1: home is smart. Using one of those old alarm companies

Speaker 1: we continue and Culter is with us, and as we
Speaker 1: talk about the issues of the day here on a Friday. Alright,
Speaker 1: so Neil Gorset shot. We now move into new territory here,
Speaker 1: and it looks like there's only two Democrats that are
Speaker 1: gonna allow an upper down vote. You need eight to
Speaker 1: get over cloture and to get an up and down
Speaker 1: vote for Corset. Now the Democrats are trying to spin
Speaker 1: this that well, this is this is unbelievable, this is
Speaker 1: a break in tradition him. But the truth is the
Speaker 1: break in tradition would be that the Senate has never
Speaker 1: ever used a filibuster to defeat a nominee with majority support.
Speaker 1: And so you have Chuck Schumer promising to filibuster this
Speaker 1: and go scorched earth, um and deny this guy an
Speaker 1: up or down vote. So if he's going to change
Speaker 1: the rules, I assume the Republicans will hopefully do the same.
Speaker 1: Well they better I just find this whole thing about
Speaker 1: oh poor Merrick Gardland. Um, it doesn't pass the last
Speaker 1: test to use a cliche, no one. No one thinks
Speaker 1: that if in the last year of a Bush administration
Speaker 1: or the Trump administration, if Ruth Bader Ginsberg resigns, um
Speaker 1: or otherwise is unavailable, that the Democrats wouldn't do the
Speaker 1: exact same thing. Oh, come on, cut the crap. You
Speaker 1: have got to be kidding me. Of course they would
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Um. And in fact, of course,
Speaker 1: all these other I think going since since Scalia, I
Speaker 1: think he was the last one. You get an overwhelming
Speaker 1: number of Senators voting for him. But but the rest
Speaker 1: of them, um, Clarence Thomas I think got through with
Speaker 1: something like fifty to vote, when when they're the ones
Speaker 1: in power, all new rules apply and then Republicans come
Speaker 1: in and no, that's unfair. But if we could just
Speaker 1: go back to one thing that I think it's worth
Speaker 1: alerting people to, the one thing on Russia. They seem
Speaker 1: to have absolutely rock solid this this much we know
Speaker 1: that it's Russia that has the d n C. Well,
Speaker 1: now that claim is not only falling apart, and as
Speaker 1: I was saying before the break, I just don't think
Speaker 1: it makes any sense. What if I mean, the d
Speaker 1: n C leaks were all about how the d n
Speaker 1: C was screwing over Bernie Sanders, Well, what if the
Speaker 1: Democrats had reacted by saying, okay, Hillary, we gave you
Speaker 1: your chance. Um, but that's that we're running by. But
Speaker 1: plus no town. Not only has Julian Assange said this
Speaker 1: is absolutely not from the Russians, and I believe he
Speaker 1: said this came from someone within the d n C.
Speaker 1: Coming from someone within the d n C is the
Speaker 1: only thing that makes sense with some Bernie supporter who
Speaker 1: was ticked off at how he was being screwed over
Speaker 1: by the d n C. And I know that this
Speaker 1: week every single member of the d n C was
Speaker 1: laid off. They cleared House Um, so I think and
Speaker 1: and you know, a songe whatever he may be evil,
Speaker 1: he's maybe he shouldn't be leaking all this stuff, but
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks of him as a liar.
Speaker 1: And he says it's not Russia one of the major Um.
Speaker 1: I think I'm the only one to interview the guy,
Speaker 1: and he swears up and down and more beyond that,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're mad at Julian Assans, they get
Speaker 1: mad at the New York Times because they printed everything
Speaker 1: wiki like he's printed, right. I mean, I'm not wholesale
Speaker 1: endorsing Ossange. I'm just saying of of the qualities about him.
Speaker 1: If anything, he's like relentlessly truthful. Um. The one outfit
Speaker 1: that was claiming, no, we looked at these d n
Speaker 1: C hacks, it's it's Russia. It's this fancy bear thing. Well,
Speaker 1: all these outside firms I just tweeted out this week,
Speaker 1: they were quoted in the Miami Herald saying, no, the
Speaker 1: this is absolutely not true, with no with no evidence
Speaker 1: after eight months. It's insane and they're missing everything in
Speaker 1: terms of what's really valuable. But this is all going
Speaker 1: to blow up in their face and culture have a
Speaker 1: great weekend. We love you. Thank you one Shawn told
Speaker 1: free telephone number you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program. When we come back, we'll check in with
Speaker 1: Amy Kramer of the Tea Party groups. You've got some
Speaker 1: news for us, but straight a hut. Most people don't
Speaker 1: take well to being floadable. Do you think that this
Speaker 1: is Is this an actual negotiating tactic by the president,
Speaker 1: or do you think this is the constructive way to
Speaker 1: do it. I mean, it's constructive in fifth grade, but um,
Speaker 1: it may allow a child to get this way, but
Speaker 1: that's not how our government works. This Obamacare light is
Speaker 1: worse than Obamacare. Our objection is logical, it's not ideological.
Speaker 1: Our objection is logical. If you remove the individual mandate
Speaker 1: yet keep in place that may date on preexisting conditions.
Speaker 1: On healthcare, health insurance, you know what's gonna happen. People
Speaker 1: are gonna buy fewer people are gonna buy insurance that
Speaker 1: the CBO said that those will be the healthy people
Speaker 1: that don't buy it, and the price is going to skyrock. Thomas.
Speaker 1: That could be fixed in phase two or phase three.
Speaker 1: It could be fixed. You can't tell me that it
Speaker 1: will not be fixed. Phase two is supposed to be
Speaker 1: the pen and the phone, the administrative fixes, and we
Speaker 1: see how well that's going for our president and our
Speaker 1: administration in the courts. Phase two will be shut down
Speaker 1: by the courts if it ever happens. So that's counting
Speaker 1: to your concern. You don't know that for sure. Well,
Speaker 1: we've got a pretty bad track record. So you've done.
Speaker 1: But you've given us obamaca full on for as far
Speaker 1: as the eye can see, and you have derailed the
Speaker 1: legislative process that you have. You know, we've we've stopped
Speaker 1: something very bad. We've probably saved the GOP from losing
Speaker 1: the majority in the next election. That's because this will
Speaker 1: be a disaster. Let me let me ask you next
Speaker 1: in two thousand eighteen. If you've got nothing done, if
Speaker 1: we're still lumped with obamacas, still lumped with high taxes,
Speaker 1: you lose. All Republicans lose because they haven't done what
Speaker 1: they said that we're going to do. You haven't even exactly.
Speaker 1: That's exactly the point, but not exactly the point we're making.
Speaker 1: The Trump towards it drained the swamp baby step towards
Speaker 1: socialism is not doing what we said we would do
Speaker 1: baby step towards socialism? Please? Yes, Mandates, penalties, subsidies, and
Speaker 1: bailouts are all in this bill, which for the same
Speaker 1: mandate penalties, Phase two and Phase three. Yeah, that well,
Speaker 1: those are fairy tales. Frankly, why don't we do phase
Speaker 1: three right now? If it's so doable and so necessary?
Speaker 1: So you won't move at all? I mean, despite what
Speaker 1: the President has done overnight, you're not moving. No, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I will move. Listen, Stewart. The medicaid reform that's stuck
Speaker 1: inside of this bill is a good part of the bill.
Speaker 1: We should do it tomorrow. It saves eight billion dollars.
Speaker 1: And that's the part that let's this new tax reform.
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus will vote for that. I will vote for that.
Speaker 1: Let's get the stuff we can agree on. Get that
Speaker 1: on the table, bring it for a vote, and the
Speaker 1: stuff we can agree on. Frankly, Stewart, Trump might need
Speaker 1: Democrats if he wants to pass Obamacare light, because it's
Speaker 1: not what conservatives campaigned on. All right. That was of
Speaker 1: course justin Amash First and Thomas Massey in an argument
Speaker 1: with my buddy Stuart Varney over the Freedom Caucus. One
Speaker 1: of our top stories today and the President going hard
Speaker 1: against them and mentioning them by name. And of course
Speaker 1: that goes back to what I was saying earlier that
Speaker 1: all the Freedom Caucus guys supported the President for election,
Speaker 1: Guys like Adam Kinseger writing in the New York Times
Speaker 1: today how the Freedom Caucuses undermining the GOP is wrong.
Speaker 1: And I didn't see Paul Ryan out on the campaign
Speaker 1: trail with Donald Trump, and I just think that this
Speaker 1: is miskinded anyway, So we got that, we're giving you
Speaker 1: a preview of what's coming next week. And Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: on Press that in filibuster doesn't want to allow an
Speaker 1: up or down vote on Corsage, which should trigger the
Speaker 1: nuclear option once and for all, which I'm all in
Speaker 1: favor of. And uh, at this point, Republicans they always
Speaker 1: give in. They played by two different standards. The attacks
Speaker 1: against Stevin Nunez, which overrides the big story, which was
Speaker 1: the spying on then candidate and President elect Trump during
Speaker 1: his transition and his team. And that goes to the
Speaker 1: Evelyn Farcus issue that we've been talking about, and the
Speaker 1: latest on Flynn and immunity. But anyway, we'll get into
Speaker 1: all this, but first I want to say quick hello
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to your calls here. Amy Kramer
Speaker 1: is with us, spent a long time friend of the program.
Speaker 1: And I met first met Amy in April of in
Speaker 1: Atlanta when twenty some a thousand people showed up at
Speaker 1: a team party rally. And Amy has lost her mind
Speaker 1: and she's now running for Congress. Uh and if it
Speaker 1: helps her, all endorse her. If it helps her, I'll
Speaker 1: I'll not endorse or whatever she wants because she's such
Speaker 1: a good friend and a solid conservative and friends with
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus guys as well. How are you, Amy
Speaker 1: for having me on? And of course I would love
Speaker 1: your endorsement. You got it in with the Freedom Caucus. Listen,
Speaker 1: you've been a champion out there hitting the pavement for
Speaker 1: all these years. It's people like you that i'd love
Speaker 1: to see in Congress that I think would do a
Speaker 1: great job. I think you're insane for doing it, but
Speaker 1: I mean, good for you, and I hope you win. Um,
Speaker 1: what do you make of all the attacks against the
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus? I mean there, I didn't see any of
Speaker 1: these guys, you know, certainly Chuck Schumer. If the President
Speaker 1: is talking about doing business with him. Chuck's never gonna
Speaker 1: work out any deals with with Donald Trump. Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: is not gonna work any deal with Trump, and Adam
Speaker 1: Kinzer didn't even vote for Trump, and Paul Ryan was
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. Who knows who we voted for.
Speaker 1: I think that this is um. It's a it's Paul
Speaker 1: Ryan's failure. It's not the House Freedom Caucus. It's Paul
Speaker 1: Ryan's responsibility to write in the legislation and get people
Speaker 1: on board and to get a consensus to begin with.
Speaker 1: But when you craft the legislation behind closed doors and
Speaker 1: don't let others be part of the process, then you
Speaker 1: go out there and tell them you can't repeal it
Speaker 1: in one step, and so on and so forth. I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody trusts him anymore. I mean, I think there's a
Speaker 1: real problem now going into if they're gonna try and
Speaker 1: fix healthcare and also a tax reform. I don't know
Speaker 1: how he can effectively lead. And I think Paul Ryan's
Speaker 1: a nice guy. But Sean, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: Republicans elected the House sent Um. The voters sent a
Speaker 1: Republican back to be in charge of the House and
Speaker 1: the Senate, and it's because they wanted to retail our
Speaker 1: inplace so Obamacare, Why on earth they would put forth
Speaker 1: a bill that does not lower premiums, lower deductables, lower
Speaker 1: the cost of prescription draw prices. They did not even
Speaker 1: put in there. And I don't think we'll get to
Speaker 1: the second step. But about crossing state lines, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's something that could have gotten on board with right away,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think that was a good point.
Speaker 1: It was a good point I thought made by Massey.
Speaker 1: And that is all right, just steps two and three. Now,
Speaker 1: I've never understood the three step process for my own
Speaker 1: personal benefit, and I understand the challenges. Look, the average
Speaker 1: American doesn't care about reconciliation, probably doesn't know what it is.
Speaker 1: They don't understand culture, they don't understand the bird rule
Speaker 1: that this is. This is them technical talk. All they
Speaker 1: want to results, and the results are very simple. Lower
Speaker 1: premiums and better care and a better bang for their buck.
Speaker 1: That's all they're looking for. And the only way to
Speaker 1: accomplish that is through free market competition and stop the
Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme where the young and the healthy are paying
Speaker 1: for the old, the sick, and the disabled. Sean, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna tell you. I mean, what does
Speaker 1: the government run good? You can look at the post
Speaker 1: office and track the v A. We need to get
Speaker 1: the government off of our backs and out of our
Speaker 1: lives and let the free market decide. Put the decisions
Speaker 1: back in the hands of patients and dodgers and not
Speaker 1: being counters in Washington. But I think there is a
Speaker 1: silver bullet for this. You make Congress live under the
Speaker 1: same rules that you and I have to live under,
Speaker 1: in all Americans have to live under. They'll fix that
Speaker 1: real quick. So tell me about this election. When do
Speaker 1: you have your primary? So this is for Tom Price's seed.
Speaker 1: It's April eighteen, and there are eighteen candidates in this race.
Speaker 1: There are five dims, two Independence and eleven Republicans. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's a jungle primary. So the top two go to
Speaker 1: a runoff and it is um It's really exciting. I
Speaker 1: never thought I'd do this, but you know what, I
Speaker 1: worked my heart and soul out electing conservatives such as
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz and and Mike Lee and Rampaul those guys,
Speaker 1: and I've encouraged others to get out there and run.
Speaker 1: Katrina Pearson was one that ran back in team for
Speaker 1: Congress and in Texas. And when Tom got appointed to
Speaker 1: HHS Secretary, I thought, how can I not. If I'm
Speaker 1: going to go out and encourage others to do it,
Speaker 1: I need to be able to do it myself. I
Speaker 1: heard that they establishment is trying to discourage you. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, yeah, Sean. They are doing everything they can
Speaker 1: because I'm a threat to them. They want their hand
Speaker 1: pick chosen. Once the first poll that came out, I
Speaker 1: was a number four Republicans. They had manipulated numbers so
Speaker 1: that UM, the top five were in a debate. They
Speaker 1: ham manipulated the numbers not just to pull me out,
Speaker 1: but the other Trump supporter. There's another Trump supporter UM
Speaker 1: in the race, and they pulled They wouldn't allow either
Speaker 1: one of us to participate in this debate, which is
Speaker 1: okay because there are other organizations doing debates. But it's
Speaker 1: just it's dirty politics. They want their chosen one and
Speaker 1: the ones that they are that UM they have in
Speaker 1: these debates and they say are pulling the highest. We
Speaker 1: had a forum on Wednesday and all four of them
Speaker 1: said they would have voted for that bill on Friday.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Amy Kramer running for the Georgia sixth
Speaker 1: district seat. That's new king Ridge is old district, by
Speaker 1: the way, So we wish you the best, Amy, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna follow this race closely as we get closer
Speaker 1: to it. Okay, thanks for being one of us, Shawn,
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on alright, eight hundred nine poll one.
Speaker 1: Shawn told free telephone number. You want to be a
Speaker 1: part of the program. Jr Is in South Carolina. What's up?
Speaker 1: J Are in South Carolina, Sir Sean Hannity. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this, by the way, how great was that game
Speaker 1: last weekend to get South Carolina usc uh into the
Speaker 1: final four? You got it, absolutely and the great game.
Speaker 1: Women are doing as well, so a lot of and
Speaker 1: the Clemsony won the national title. So a great year
Speaker 1: for South Carolina sports. But Shawan handy. On a very
Speaker 1: serious note, the American people sent Donald Trump to Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. To drain the swamp. And what we're seeing
Speaker 1: is the Trump train has left the station. The American
Speaker 1: people are all packed on the on the boarding docks,
Speaker 1: ready to go, and we see him hanging out with
Speaker 1: the chief swamp Monster, Paul Ryan. And we don't understand
Speaker 1: why we're being a strong armed why we're being be
Speaker 1: rated and why we're being allied to on this healthcare bill.
Speaker 1: And I'll say this shown if I can, to the
Speaker 1: extent that the American people are with Donald Trump, he's
Speaker 1: an unmovable force of nature. To the extent that Paul
Speaker 1: Ryan can separate Donald Trump from his base and alienate
Speaker 1: his course supporters, Mike, he's successfully doing. He's going to
Speaker 1: hamstring Donald Trump, and we will have a landslide loss,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, in the mid terms if we don't
Speaker 1: get the conservative agenda that we all sent him to
Speaker 1: d C. Four. I just think that Unfortunately, I just
Speaker 1: don't think the president was served well here, and I
Speaker 1: think he was. I think up until the last day
Speaker 1: he was being told no, no, no, don't worry about it,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. This bill is gonna pass. I
Speaker 1: think it's just stunned him because of what he was
Speaker 1: being told, and then he was told after the fact, well,
Speaker 1: it's these guys that won't go along with it. And unfortunately, look,
Speaker 1: I think looks one of the things I like about
Speaker 1: Trump is his his growth trajectory is beyond phenomenal. His
Speaker 1: you know, look at him when he started out and
Speaker 1: came down the escalator and look at the guy on
Speaker 1: the stump. By the end of the campaign, and even
Speaker 1: that goes out to different towns and cities. Now it's
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. He's a guy that's run businesses for all
Speaker 1: these years. When you run a business, you say to
Speaker 1: your team, do this, do this, do this. In the
Speaker 1: case of my team, Linda says, well, I'd rather do this,
Speaker 1: and she fights back. And then sometimes I have to
Speaker 1: put my foot down, or sometimes because I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear, I'll just say fine, we'll do it. Um.
Speaker 1: But and so learning the legislative process us in the
Speaker 1: art of politics being different from the art of the
Speaker 1: deal or his challenge. I know he's gonna get there
Speaker 1: because he just is, and so I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate at this point, I stay right there. I
Speaker 1: gotta take a brown, give you one more comment when
Speaker 1: we get back. But hey, by the way, impostor fraud
Speaker 1: surpassed identity theft is the number one reported fraud case. Now.
Speaker 1: In these scams, criminals use the phone instead of email,
Speaker 1: and they pose as debt collectors or government workers. Then
Speaker 1: they call you. They try and trick you into revealing
Speaker 1: your personal or financial data. Now you've gotta be aware.
Speaker 1: Always know the government's never gonna make demands by phone
Speaker 1: for a payment of a call like that appears or
Speaker 1: another suspicious call hang up. Report these suspicious activity immediately.
Speaker 1: But you need to protect yourself in this day and
Speaker 1: age against identity theft. It's America's fastest growing crime. Thieves
Speaker 1: using your information, pretending they're you, buying things on your credit,
Speaker 1: liquidating your bank and your retirement account. Now every second
Speaker 1: of everyday, LifeLock is scanning millions of transactions. Every second
Speaker 1: they detect your information, you get an alert, you have
Speaker 1: a problem, they fix it, Unlike free credit monetary bottom
Speaker 1: line is LifeLock is the best identity the protection available
Speaker 1: memberships as always month. Just go to LifeLock dot com
Speaker 1: slash Hannity and you get a ten percent discount. Or
Speaker 1: call one eight hundred LifeLock and mention my name. You
Speaker 1: still get the ten percent discount one eight hundred LifeLock
Speaker 1: LifeLock dot com slash Hannity and you will have your
Speaker 1: identity protected. Will continue. The final hour of the Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity Show is up. The next hang on for Shaun's
Speaker 1: conservative solutions. All right, as we continue news round up
Speaker 1: Information Overload, we'll have the latest on Evelyn Farcas's comments.
Speaker 1: And now she says it's all fake news. Well when
Speaker 1: you play her verbatim, I don't know how that could
Speaker 1: be fake news. And now the Russians may have influenced
Speaker 1: the according to Jeff Lord, we'll get to that, all right, Jr.
Speaker 1: In South Carolina, get the last word. I didn't mean
Speaker 1: to hold you over there. Sorry about that, and I'm
Speaker 1: not saying this to get you in trouble. But if
Speaker 1: this strong armed tactics, intimidation and threatening our freedom caucus
Speaker 1: representatives continue, at what point do we as a constituency
Speaker 1: say it's time to challenge Paul Ryan in the primary. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm saying this. The rollout was horrible. They nobody saw
Speaker 1: the bill ahead of time. There was no consensus built
Speaker 1: ahead of time. Nobody everyone was wondering what bill is
Speaker 1: it that's being scored And if they would have done
Speaker 1: it the right way, it wouldn't have been a problem
Speaker 1: and the bill would have all the negotiation would have
Speaker 1: been behind closed doors, not in front of television cameras
Speaker 1: and on radio shows. And all the different coalition groups
Speaker 1: should have been brought together, as well as the Health
Speaker 1: and Human Services Secretary, as well as the White House
Speaker 1: and the Vice President, as well as the Senate, because remember,
Speaker 1: whatever the House passes doesn't necessarily pass the Senate. So
Speaker 1: if you're working in conjunction with the Senate from the
Speaker 1: beginning and the get go, then you have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to avoid a big, contentious, you know, third phase, which
Speaker 1: is all right, the House passes their bill, the Senate
Speaker 1: passes their bill, then it gets into conference, and then
Speaker 1: the House and the Senator fighting over competing bills, and
Speaker 1: maybe that doesn't get done at that point. There's a
Speaker 1: better way to do this. And I don't think the
Speaker 1: President will serve well. And I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of scapegoating here, and I think
Speaker 1: that he's been told that the Freedom Caucus was the problem,
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's how the bill was dealt with
Speaker 1: from the get go that was the problem. And I'm
Speaker 1: just calling it as I see it here. And in
Speaker 1: that sense, leadership didn't serve the president well in terms
Speaker 1: of what they're supposed to do for him on the
Speaker 1: legislative side. The country has not served well because everybody
Speaker 1: that has voted to put member is in the House
Speaker 1: and in the Senate and vote for Donald Trump for
Speaker 1: repeal and replace. They're now frustrated because it's not getting done.
Speaker 1: It's slowed down the entire agenda of Donald Trump, and
Speaker 1: to me, after eight long years, it's kind of unforgivable,
Speaker 1: and lashing out against the Freedom Caucus members is just
Speaker 1: to me, it's just we're looking in the wrong direction here.
Speaker 1: Who got this wrong? How's leadership got it wrong? And
Speaker 1: after they unveiled the bill, they saw the contentiousness building,
Speaker 1: and they went for a three week period according to
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, where they didn't even talk to the Freedom
Speaker 1: Caucus because they thought they didn't need the Freedom Caucus,
Speaker 1: and then they went in with strong arm tactics. Now
Speaker 1: they're just attacking them out right, and I think they've
Speaker 1: convinced the President somehow that they're the ones that were
Speaker 1: wrong here. No, the way the bill was handled by
Speaker 1: leadership was it was mishandled. Now they have two options here.
Speaker 1: They can keep up fracturing the Republican Party and not
Speaker 1: get anything done, or they can hit the reset button
Speaker 1: and do it the right way. I suggest the ladder,
Speaker 1: hit the reset button and do the right way, all right?
Speaker 1: When we come back, the latest on the comments of
Speaker 1: Evelyn Farcas, why does she keep talking? Does she have
Speaker 1: any friends that are advising her that is not a
Speaker 1: good idea? Well, one of her friends will join us next,
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Lord will check in with us as well.
Speaker 1: It's the Friday edition of the Sean Hannity Show. In
Speaker 1: our Friday concert series with Florida Georgia Line continues to
Speaker 1: put you in a good mood, and we'll take your
Speaker 1: calls in the next hour as well. Coming up next
Speaker 1: our final news round up and information overload, our alright
Speaker 1: news round up, information overload, and yes, our Friday Florida
Speaker 1: Georgia Line concert series at the bottom of the hour,
Speaker 1: to put you in a good mood for a Friday, Shawn,
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, all right.
Speaker 1: So we have gone over in great, great detail what
Speaker 1: this all means as it relates to the comments of
Speaker 1: Evelyn Farcas. I mean, this is what she originally said,
Speaker 1: and pay very close attention, and then we'll show how she,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, contradicted herself greatly. The next day after
Speaker 1: I brought everybody's attention to it. Listen, I was urging
Speaker 1: my former colleagues and and frankly speaking the people on
Speaker 1: the Hill. It was more actually gained aimed at telling
Speaker 1: the Hill people, get as much information as you can,
Speaker 1: get as much intelligence as you can before President Obama
Speaker 1: leaves the administration, because I had a fear that somehow
Speaker 1: that information would disappear with the senior people who left,
Speaker 1: so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy. Um
Speaker 1: that the Trump folks, if they found out how we
Speaker 1: knew what we knew about there the staff, the Trump
Speaker 1: staffs dealing with Russians, that they would try to compromise
Speaker 1: those sources and methods, meaning we would no longer have
Speaker 1: access to that intelligence. So I became very worried because
Speaker 1: not enough was coming out into the open, and I
Speaker 1: knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence
Speaker 1: on Russia. So then I had talked to some of
Speaker 1: my former colleagues, and I knew that they were trying
Speaker 1: to also help get information to the hell A lot
Speaker 1: going on today, Yeah, Mark, that's why you have the leaking.
Speaker 1: That's why you have the leaking. Listen to what she's saying.
Speaker 1: Get as much intelligence as you can. I was urging
Speaker 1: my former colleagues. Now she had left the Obama administration
Speaker 1: by that point, get it as much, get as much
Speaker 1: as intelligence as you can. Before Obama leaves the administration,
Speaker 1: this information might disappear, and so it would be hidden
Speaker 1: away from the bureaucracy. And you know that if the
Speaker 1: Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what
Speaker 1: we knew about there the Trump's staff dealing with Russians, Well,
Speaker 1: how would they know? How did you know? You know?
Speaker 1: Now she's she's backing off all of these claims, and well,
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, if indeed they did it. No,
Speaker 1: she's saying, you're not saying if indeed, in an original statement,
Speaker 1: she's saying, get as much intelligence. I was urging my colleagues,
Speaker 1: get as much intelligence as you can. Intell agents information intelligence.
Speaker 1: She said the word intelligence. And then it goes on, well,
Speaker 1: if they knew the Trump people knew, if they found
Speaker 1: out how we knew what we knew about their Trump's
Speaker 1: staff dealing with the Russians, they try and compromise those
Speaker 1: sources and methods. Well, what is she admitting to all
Speaker 1: of us? She's admitting number one surveillance took place. If
Speaker 1: she says, the Trump folks, if they found out how
Speaker 1: we knew what we knew about their Trump staff dealing
Speaker 1: with Russians, So she's revealing unmasking taking place. And when
Speaker 1: she gets get as much intelligence as as you can.
Speaker 1: Is she in that instance, is she trying to encourage
Speaker 1: people to get and hold onto secret intelligence? Why would
Speaker 1: she say that anyway? Then she goes on CNBC yesterday
Speaker 1: and contradicts herself. Listen that the Trump folks, if they
Speaker 1: found out how how we knew what we knew about
Speaker 1: their Trump staff. This is dealing with the Russians, that
Speaker 1: they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning
Speaker 1: we no longer have access to that intelligence. Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: and others have made a big issue of this. I
Speaker 1: wanted to just explain what you meant by that, and
Speaker 1: in particular, when you talked about if they found out
Speaker 1: how we knew, what do you mean by how they
Speaker 1: how we knew? Well, what I was getting at was
Speaker 1: the fact that we were having now a transition of
Speaker 1: power from the Obama administration to the Trump administration, and
Speaker 1: if indeed there was an investigation on indeed, if indeed
Speaker 1: there was an investigation going forward, well that's very different
Speaker 1: if they found out how we knew, not if indeed
Speaker 1: how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff
Speaker 1: dealing with Russians, Obama administration had about Russian interference and
Speaker 1: possible American involvement. I wanted to make sure that Congress
Speaker 1: knew about it, that Congress happened, if it happened, if
Speaker 1: they had it, If they found out, well that's very different.
Speaker 1: If they found out how we knew what we knew
Speaker 1: about the Trump staff. There was no caveat whatsoever. And
Speaker 1: it is a direct contradiction. Now the question is is
Speaker 1: she gonna keep talking because on top of that, she's
Speaker 1: also now saying this is fake news. She's so using
Speaker 1: her words in full context, without edits, without the Ted
Speaker 1: Coppel treatment. She is now contradicting herself. That's fake news.
Speaker 1: She's now denying she had access to this anyway. News
Speaker 1: Round Up, Information Overload Our. Jeffrey Lord is a former
Speaker 1: associate political director in the Reagan administration and columnist that
Speaker 1: The American Spectator. Wrote the book What America Needs The
Speaker 1: Case for Trump. Rick Unger, Senior Political contributor Forbes dot
Speaker 1: Com and co host of The Steel and Unger Show
Speaker 1: on Sirius XM, and interestingly both of them no Evelyn
Speaker 1: farkas Jeff, why don't we start with how you know her? Well,
Speaker 1: I've only known her for a day. Okay. It turns out,
Speaker 1: to my surprise that she liked myself as a graduate
Speaker 1: of Franklin Marshall colum in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which I did
Speaker 1: not know. Um. She apparently uh discovered this, this coincidence,
Speaker 1: and emailed me and said she wanted to talk. Um
Speaker 1: I knew immediately. I said, you know, yes, absolutely, she'd
Speaker 1: emailed me and says she wants to talk, and I'd
Speaker 1: love to put her on the air and clarify some
Speaker 1: of these contradictory statements. I don't know how come I
Speaker 1: don't get to know what I've got here, Sean, you
Speaker 1: got a special thing going on there, brother, So I
Speaker 1: thought about, you know, I had a little chance to
Speaker 1: think before I spoke with her. And as it happened
Speaker 1: the week before, in another sort of strange out of
Speaker 1: the blue moment revolving around this whole Trump Russia's story,
Speaker 1: Carter Page, who was often mentioned in these stories as
Speaker 1: a Trump advisor with ties to Russia had contacted me
Speaker 1: out of the blue and had sent me a copy
Speaker 1: of a letter that he was in the process of
Speaker 1: sending then and there to Devin Nuna's Nuna's and Adam
Speaker 1: Schiff of the Chairman and ranking member of the House
Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee. And I said, well, we would just run
Speaker 1: this verbatim at the American Spectator, because I think he
Speaker 1: was afraid that his words would be misinterpreted or what
Speaker 1: have you. So I had the same thought with with Evelyn,
Speaker 1: and when we spoke, I said, look, why don't we
Speaker 1: do this. You you write up whatever you want to
Speaker 1: write up in your own words, and I will commit
Speaker 1: to you that the American Spectator will run it verbatim.
Speaker 1: And so she did. And one of the things she
Speaker 1: says in there is that she feels um she even
Speaker 1: suspects the Russians may have come up with this video.
Speaker 1: She feels that it has well with how the video
Speaker 1: of her on Liberal Joe. Yes, that that it was
Speaker 1: put out there, that they the Russians did there and
Speaker 1: they gave it to Hannity. That's what they did. That
Speaker 1: at the Russians. Thing I told her about you and
Speaker 1: the Russians Vladimir. Vladimir personally called me, I may not.
Speaker 1: I expect to go before the House Intel Committee tomorrow. Um.
Speaker 1: She said in this statement that that this had it
Speaker 1: was a quote unquote wild misinterpretation of comments that she
Speaker 1: made on the air in March, and uh, do you
Speaker 1: think it's a misinterpretation or am I interpreting it correctly
Speaker 1: the way it was meant to be? Said that the
Speaker 1: video was edited. I don't see I didn't see any say.
Speaker 1: I emphasized that you think, I think it's a lots edited.
Speaker 1: It's a live show. How could it be edited? I
Speaker 1: have you know, Well, if she has information or or
Speaker 1: more to the tape or somebody over at NBC editor
Speaker 1: at the tape, I'll play the full tape for her,
Speaker 1: and she says. She also says that at the end
Speaker 1: of the interview, she said, I did start a new
Speaker 1: thought quote that's why they leaked unquote. But she was
Speaker 1: cut off. And the way something you would know very well,
Speaker 1: as as I have learned and Rick knows, is the
Speaker 1: world of the heartbreak and television time, and that she
Speaker 1: began this thought and was well, it didn't seem like
Speaker 1: she was stopped. I mean, it just was like Miko
Speaker 1: was clueless, and I don't I don't see an edit there,
Speaker 1: all right, So I'm gonna give a little backstory here.
Speaker 1: So Rick Nger is in the studio yesterday, and we
Speaker 1: have them back for a reason here today, not because
Speaker 1: we like him or anything, even though we do like him.
Speaker 1: So stop calling me, I know, I gotta stop calling
Speaker 1: you this right. So Rick says to me, Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: actually friends with Evelyn And I said, Rick, I said,
Speaker 1: how close friends? She's such a nice person. I said,
Speaker 1: what did I say to you? I said, Rick, I'm
Speaker 1: saying this as nice a way as I can tell
Speaker 1: her to be quiet. Who's advising this woman to talk this?
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if she's not brought before the
Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee and probably investigated over these comments. And
Speaker 1: did you talk to her? Yes, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: tell you that. Don't. Do you agree with me that
Speaker 1: I'm giving good advice to her? Um? Do I agree
Speaker 1: with you? Yes? I do agree with you, and I'm
Speaker 1: I'm interested. And the only reason I said it to you,
Speaker 1: as you said, she's actually a really nice person. And
Speaker 1: I said, I'm like Rick, who's advising this woman. Well,
Speaker 1: the record, I would agree with based on my conversation
Speaker 1: with her, I would agree with rich. She is a
Speaker 1: very nice person. Okay, Now now she's saying the Russians
Speaker 1: are doing it, the Russians leaked it, and she's saying
Speaker 1: she's edited on a live show, which it is possible,
Speaker 1: but you have to show me the edit and then
Speaker 1: show me the full tape. Well it only it only
Speaker 1: goes to prove that not only is Handity bad for America,
Speaker 1: he's apparently good for Russia. Parents. I'm gonna call Flat.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call Vladimir right as soon as I can
Speaker 1: have the program. Vladimir listen, listen. Well, maybe I'll call Medvedev.
Speaker 1: Tell Vladimir not to contact me until after this whole thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: n I are more quesible, I'll have more flexibility. This
Speaker 1: is my last election. I'm sorry. That was that was Obama.
Speaker 1: That sorry reading what she wrote, and for Jeffrey and Jeffrey,
Speaker 1: that was very cool of you to give her that
Speaker 1: that space to do that. I don't know how Jeffrey
Speaker 1: thought about it. It's not satisfying. I'm not gonna be
Speaker 1: anything but an honest broker. It never answers the crux
Speaker 1: of the question, which is, what did you mean by
Speaker 1: if Trump Staffords found out? How we knew what we knew.
Speaker 1: That's what's at the heart of all of this, and
Speaker 1: I'm hearing a lot of talk around it. It didn't help.
Speaker 1: I felt that she started out by referring to it
Speaker 1: as a strange video. I mean, you may think that
Speaker 1: Morning Joe's a strange show, but there was nothing. Well,
Speaker 1: the only reason nobody picked up on it, it wasn't
Speaker 1: the Russians, it was because nobody watches the show. So
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, good grief. Well, you know, the thing
Speaker 1: is Sean, whether whether it's Evelyn or someone else. And
Speaker 1: I'm certainly have written several columns on this. It's the
Speaker 1: New York Times and the Washington Post. They have repeatedly
Speaker 1: written stories that indicate quite obviously that the people in
Speaker 1: the Obama administration were spying on the incoming Trump people. Uh.
Speaker 1: In one of these Washington Post stories they even say
Speaker 1: that they talked to nine people. Nine people. I mean, so,
Speaker 1: so whether Evelyn was one of those nine or not,
Speaker 1: all right, both, do you stay there, because I gotta
Speaker 1: take that hard break you're talking about Jeffrey, and then
Speaker 1: we'll get back to the other side of this. Hey,
Speaker 1: if you wake up in the morning and you look
Speaker 1: like rick Onnger and you see bags and puffiness under
Speaker 1: your eyes, well you're not alone. This happens to millions

Speaker 1: overlap hour, we'll get to your calls in the next hour.
Speaker 1: Rick Unger, Jeffrey Lorder with us were talking about evil
Speaker 1: and farcas they both know her. Jeff only recently allowed
Speaker 1: her to write in her own words or defense. And
Speaker 1: so she's sank in this piece that the Russians may
Speaker 1: have leaked it, even though it was on national TV.
Speaker 1: Well she hadn't she She said to me that it
Speaker 1: could have been the Russians. She didn't say that in
Speaker 1: the peace, but she she clearly believes that that this
Speaker 1: has been in her phrase, wildly h misinterpreted, and that uh,
Speaker 1: she does feel the thing was edited. Absolutely, she doesn't
Speaker 1: believe that. And Rick your friends with her, you know,
Speaker 1: I was kind of joking around when I said, you know,
Speaker 1: if she's saying number one, admitting in this piece that
Speaker 1: surveillance took place, admitting that unmasking took place, and talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, very specifically getting this information to our friends
Speaker 1: on the hill, as she says, get as much intelligence
Speaker 1: as you can. I was urging my former colleagues, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, this is really bad for anybody. And
Speaker 1: so I'm Joe grad Elizabeth forval and Parkers. We're not
Speaker 1: sure you're committed any crime, but trust in case you
Speaker 1: may want to control with an attorney. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm saying it in good faith, and you're telling me
Speaker 1: she's a nice person, and I'm like, who's advising her?
Speaker 1: Rick is? When why isn't she listening to you? I mean,
Speaker 1: you might be a lot of things, dumb is not
Speaker 1: one of them. Mr Unger. I mean I'm seriously asking.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I can't, for the life of
Speaker 1: me understand how she doesn't see that this is problematic.
Speaker 1: Well look, I mean, you know, doing media is not
Speaker 1: something that people can just do off the cup. You
Speaker 1: learn as you go along. I you know, my my
Speaker 1: better response to that, if you're going to talk about it,
Speaker 1: which is you feel the need to defend yourself as
Speaker 1: what you should do. Then, as my old friendly Any
Speaker 1: Davis says, when something happens, you you get out front
Speaker 1: of it, you address it straightforward, and you let the
Speaker 1: chips fall where they may. His actual words are, tell
Speaker 1: the truth, tell it early, tell it all, tell it yourself,
Speaker 1: but which I don't disagree with. But she said everything,
Speaker 1: and then she walked back everything. Well, Sean, let me
Speaker 1: let me just jump in here. Um, the New York
Speaker 1: Times folks do not like it when I say that
Speaker 1: their stories indicate that the Obama administration do that, does this.
Speaker 1: And I said to one of the reporters who had
Speaker 1: written the story that I appeared on CNN with, I
Speaker 1: said to him, look, some nutritionist way in the bowels
Speaker 1: of the of the Department of Agriculture decided that he
Speaker 1: would to save money and budget cuts would call ketchup
Speaker 1: a vegetable. And who was pinned for that? Ronald Reagan personally,
Speaker 1: I said, presidents, you know, not for nothing, that's eatement
Speaker 1: that the buck stops here from Harry Truman. Presidents are
Speaker 1: responsible for what goes on in their administration. It doesn't
Speaker 1: make any difference Whether Barack Obama knew about this or not,
Speaker 1: it is without doubt his administration. He was in charge,
Speaker 1: and so one of two things. Either he knew what
Speaker 1: was going on I was reading about this in the
Speaker 1: newspapers and did nothing about it, or he was he
Speaker 1: was getting some of this inside info. I mean one
Speaker 1: of these stories that talks about transcripts being sent to
Speaker 1: the White House. Well, who's reading these transcripts? The President?
Speaker 1: His staff? I mean we need to know. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm not seeing an answer to the fundamental question
Speaker 1: and all the other stuff that surrounds it is not
Speaker 1: likely to distract people like yourself. Listen, I'm saying this
Speaker 1: in a nice way because I gotta go. If I
Speaker 1: was you, i'd tell her to just shush or tell
Speaker 1: her to come on my program one or the other,
Speaker 1: because if she's gonna go down, let it, let it
Speaker 1: be here so I get the ratings benefit from it.
Speaker 1: Why not my program? Well, excuse me, you're breaking up
Speaker 1: on me one show on our number. I mean, I
Speaker 1: almost feel sorry for her. I don't think he gets
Speaker 1: a quick break right back. We'll get to your phone
Speaker 1: calls next. Before we get to your calls, eight nine
Speaker 1: one Seawan our toll free telephone number. When I was
Speaker 1: out at the Reagan Library, met John high Bush and
Speaker 1: he's an amazing guy. And he he's written an amazing book.
Speaker 1: He's the executive director of the Reagan Foundation and Library.
Speaker 1: If you've never been to the Reagan Library, it is
Speaker 1: so educational and just an inspiration. And anyway, his new book,
Speaker 1: The Shroud Conspiracy, and it's a thriller. It's a you know,
Speaker 1: a forensic anthropologist sets out to prove that the route
Speaker 1: of Turin is fake, but quickly discovers the opposite. And
Speaker 1: John high Bush joins us. John, Uh, the something called
Speaker 1: veronics veil, and that veils talked about a great deal
Speaker 1: in the Shroud Conspiracy. There's also the Shroud of Turn,
Speaker 1: which is the entire body of Jesus Christ from head
Speaker 1: to toe, from his face all the way down to
Speaker 1: his legs. And uh, you know it shows the crucifixion
Speaker 1: marks of Jesus from the crown of thorns to the
Speaker 1: sword in his side. It's just that it is truly
Speaker 1: a miraculous image. Well, I know it's been studied, and
Speaker 1: I know we have carbon dating and all this other information.
Speaker 1: You convinced that both of those are real, the Shroud
Speaker 1: of Turn and and the other one. Well, and without
Speaker 1: a doubt, I think the Shroud of Turn is real.
Speaker 1: But you know that for centuries there's been a big controversy.
Speaker 1: Half the world believes that the Shroud and therefore this
Speaker 1: miraculous visage of Jesus is fake, and the other half
Speaker 1: believes it's real. And so science has always seems to
Speaker 1: be at war with faith over whether or not it's
Speaker 1: real and and and that's the backdrop that I used
Speaker 1: for the book, The Shroud Conspiracy. Yeah, well, well what
Speaker 1: got you interested in this? Because I know you're you
Speaker 1: obviously are are somebody who that was studies history a lot.
Speaker 1: You love being at the Reagan Library. How many years
Speaker 1: you've been there now? Oh, I've been here almost eight years.
Speaker 1: And you're right. I love history. Uh, it's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons I have this job, especially love reading history.
Speaker 1: I lived it as and I'm sure you did too.
Speaker 1: And uh, I think when I did my book signing there,
Speaker 1: didn't we break the record up until that point? Maybe
Speaker 1: it was broken sense of of Oh no, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: you broke every record. I think in one day you
Speaker 1: signed over five thousand books. Uh, we've never ever had
Speaker 1: that kind of turnout before. And and you literally stopped
Speaker 1: traffic on the highway and leads to the Reagan Library.
Speaker 1: It was just amazing. Really, it was a very special day,
Speaker 1: and I have a very special place in my heart.
Speaker 1: I believe that Ronald Reagan was one of our great presidents,
Speaker 1: and meeting you was a great honor to and learning
Speaker 1: a lot uh at the Reagan Library. Being there to
Speaker 1: do TV shows was amazing too. And it's been a
Speaker 1: lot of fun the number of times I've been there.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the book is called The Shroud Conspiracy and
Speaker 1: ancient relic promises to reveal secrets for the ages John
Speaker 1: high Bush And now we put the book up on
Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. It's on Amazon dot com, bookstores everywhere,
Speaker 1: and we really want to wish you the best with
Speaker 1: the book, and you should sell it at the library.
Speaker 1: Remember it when they get there. Oh you know, Actually,
Speaker 1: Sun's funny, he'd raise that just real quick. Uh. The
Speaker 1: book came out about ten days ago and we were
Speaker 1: selling it at the library. We sold so many that
Speaker 1: we should have been on the New York Times list,
Speaker 1: the best seller list. But guess what they decided not
Speaker 1: to count a single book sold from the Reagan Library,
Speaker 1: and we sold albums. You know, that's thirty five years later.
Speaker 1: They just still can't seem to, you know, get over.
Speaker 1: I've seen this game before. I you know, I just
Speaker 1: I've seen it happen way too many times. You know,
Speaker 1: you almost have to sell twice as many to get
Speaker 1: to number one, like I have, And it's ridiculous. But
Speaker 1: I've seen conservatives. This has happened before. But John, You're
Speaker 1: a great man. God bless you. The Shroud conspiracy bookstores
Speaker 1: everywhere Hannity dot Com, Thank you, sir, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: On alright, eight nine one, Shawn are toll free telephone number.
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program. Tracy
Speaker 1: is in Katie, Texas. What's up, Tracy? How are you? Hey? So?
Speaker 1: So my question is is I'm looking lately at the
Speaker 1: news and I'm looking at how my wants to turn
Speaker 1: around and give testimony and mongst he give immunity. Then
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Devin Union run into the White House
Speaker 1: trying to help both of the the Trump's administration by
Speaker 1: getting information from Trump to run out there and trying
Speaker 1: to help Trump from that bad disastrous tweet. My question
Speaker 1: to you is when do you stop making your people,
Speaker 1: you stop dumbing your people down about Trump? I mean,
Speaker 1: every single thing that Trump does is right. I remember
Speaker 1: everything Obama did was wrong. But when do you move
Speaker 1: from being a supporter and not being finalal I just
Speaker 1: got done today. I spent a lot of time saying
Speaker 1: that the Freedom Caucus is not the problem, but the
Speaker 1: Republican leadership in the House of the problem. So I
Speaker 1: can let me finish. I'm being an honest broker with
Speaker 1: my audience, and we're holding Washington accountable and we are
Speaker 1: going down the checklist every time the president keeps a promise,
Speaker 1: and uh if he doesn't, will hold him accountable as well.
Speaker 1: But everything you just said there's false for the most part. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, but you gotta remember. But General Flynn, the
Speaker 1: release of that information and intelligence against him was a crime.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a felony. And if you're General can
Speaker 1: I can. I'm trying to answer. I'm trying to answer
Speaker 1: you a question. What happened to General fit Flynn is
Speaker 1: a felony. What Evelyn Farcas is revealing is more than problematic.
Speaker 1: What Devin Nunez did was actually the right thing to do,
Speaker 1: and zero laws have been broken. And what you really
Speaker 1: are missing. You've fallen into a destroy Trump left propaganda
Speaker 1: media trap and you're blaming the messenger when the real
Speaker 1: messages Why was Donald Trump as a candidate, Why was
Speaker 1: Donald Trump as president elect for months being surveiled by
Speaker 1: the former administration? Now there, now it's been Now, it's
Speaker 1: been eight months, and you can well hang on, it's
Speaker 1: been eight months. You can't give me any evidence of
Speaker 1: any Russian collusion if you can give it to me now,
Speaker 1: and what is it? Alright? First of all, one of
Speaker 1: his one of his said that the news about Podesta
Speaker 1: will be coming weeks before it was actually released. By week.
Speaker 1: Everybody stopped, stop, stop, stop stop for a second, Wiki
Speaker 1: leaks and did John Podesta fell for a fishing uh
Speaker 1: trick on his phone? I'm asking you, very specifically, where
Speaker 1: is the evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and
Speaker 1: the Russians? Give it to me now, alright. One of
Speaker 1: the the evidence is that by his very virtue of
Speaker 1: sending Michael Flynn to Russia to say he would release sanctions,
Speaker 1: Obama put sanctions on Russia because the Russian attacked him.
Speaker 1: So you're saying that the incoming hang on, you're saying
Speaker 1: that the incoming national security advisor having a conversation with
Speaker 1: as soon to be counterpart is a violation of law.
Speaker 1: And this is post election, by the way, how does
Speaker 1: that impact the election in any way? You know American
Speaker 1: is supposed to go to a foreign nation. Okay, make
Speaker 1: a deal. Okay? And what law you saw? What law
Speaker 1: you siding? Go ahead? Tell me? Okay? When when it though?
Speaker 1: You might just tell me the law? What? What does
Speaker 1: US code? What? Oh? I know law, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I can't remember everything. But you don't know this law?
Speaker 1: All right? Now, next question, next question, Give me any
Speaker 1: evidence you have of collusion that's been proven between the
Speaker 1: Trump campaign and the Russians in the lead up to
Speaker 1: the election. Now you stay proven. I don't have FBI
Speaker 1: to information. The FBI have, they're closing their net. Well stop.
Speaker 1: So for eight months, for eight months, we haven't gotten
Speaker 1: any evidence or proof. But you are convinced it's true
Speaker 1: even though you have. You really can't tell us any evidence,
Speaker 1: can you? All right? Then let me then, let me
Speaker 1: just say this one thing in Sean and I'll just
Speaker 1: back out. Sean, even though you might hate Obama, when
Speaker 1: Obama pretenctions on Russia because of Russians attacked US, did
Speaker 1: you know stop? Did you know? Did you know that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump just put sanctions on Russia? Did you know
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump put sanctions on Russia? No, but Donald
Speaker 1: was going to remove sanctions. You don't hit America, we
Speaker 1: put sank. So the bottom line is, I've spent all
Speaker 1: this airtime on you and you got done telling me
Speaker 1: laws were broken and you can't name a single law
Speaker 1: that was broken or a single bit of evidence that
Speaker 1: shows that there was collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign,
Speaker 1: true or false. Go first of all, why and I'm
