00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: issues involved with the president, what's going on, uh and

31
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: some other new news we're gonna get to today as

32
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: it relates to James Comey Bannon's comments that he thinks

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: there's a big mistake to fire James, call me. How

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: could you not fire a guy that had the fix

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: in that needs to be investigated himself? And you know,

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: when are we ever gonna have equal justice under the

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: under the law in this country and all the different

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: issues Hillary the leading Bleach bit, you know, subpoena emails,

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: destroying blackberries and iPhones and you know, Debbie Wasserman Schultz

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,279
Speaker 1: looks like the the I T guy and his brother

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: might flip on Debbie Wasson and Schultz. I kind of

42
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: became apparent when the Daily Caller and Luke Rosiac actually

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: laid out that piece for us last week where the

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: I T support guy ended up leaving Debbie wassonan Schultz's

45
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: laptop with a note to law enforcement officials. That was

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: a pretty good sign. So just as I'm coming on

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: the air here today, I I I get a note

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: from somebody that says, yeah, there's a there's a conservative

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: at Hillary Clinton's ongoing book book event going on right now,

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: and said, all right, here we go. Let's see what

51
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: questions are asked. This could get interesting. I had Greg Jarrett,

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: my friend from Fox on last night, and he goes,

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: there are thirty specific things that excuses that Hillary made,

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: but why she didn't win. I said, I don't have thirty.

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: How did you get to thirty? And then he says,

56
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm no worries. I'll send you the list. And I

57
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: have the list. Sexism, which she did, misogyny, racism, xenophobius,

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: bourbon women, comey Russians putin wiki leaks, the d n

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: C Obama, Biden, Sanders, Anthony Wiener, electoral College, polling data,

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: cable news, The New York Times, fake news bots, Facebook,

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: let me see hang on Twitter, Netflix, anti American forces, uh,

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Democrat documentaries, low information voters, people wanting change, and people

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: who assume she'd win but stayed home. And the Republican Party.

64
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, really, you gotta be kidding me. I'm not

65
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Oh yeah, apparently you're going to book signing

66
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: today and you're not going to the White House, so

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: that happens. You know. I've got this article I want

68
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: to share with you before I get to it. It's

69
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: in Roll Call today. I want to just point out

70
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: the job openings in this country of now sward to

71
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: an all time high. We're at a seven year low

72
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: of people needing food stamps. We've seen great growth in

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: the economy. We've seen a million jobs created with the

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: recent surge in job things, which was observed first last

75
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: month and continued in July when the total number of

76
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: jobs went up to a new record high of six

77
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: point one seven. And then we've got the the highest

78
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: labor participation rate that we've had in years and that's

79
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: all good for the country, and I'm thinking, you know,

80
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: imagine what would happen if we actually had Congress that

81
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: worked with the president and actually got their job done.

82
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: One of the other stories that I'm following today is

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: the DHS issued a waiver to speed up border wall construction.

84
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: It's like Trump is doing everything he can do on

85
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: his own, but now we need a little help from

86
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: those people in the legislative branch of government, and for

87
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: example with the d h S. They they announced Tuesday

88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: today that they issued a waiver to expedite the construction

89
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: of barriers at certain areas of the US Mexican border.

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: They said they waived certain laws regulations of the legal

91
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: requirements to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers at the

92
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: international border near California. And according to the DHS, the

93
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: waiver dealt with environmental natural resource land management laws. I

94
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: don't know what the environmental issues would be. I've been

95
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: down there so many times. Frankly, I mean, there's nothing

96
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: but cactus and sand. There's not a whole lot down

97
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: there that is that appealing that I think is at

98
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: risk if we build a border wall. And I'm sure

99
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: environmentalists will have a fit over that statement, but just

100
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: stating a fact, putting up a border actually works. And

101
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: if you don't believe it, talked to the Prime Minister

102
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: of Israel, because it works for Israel. Here's the article

103
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: I want to share with you, and this is one

104
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: you've got to pay attention to. And the headline of

105
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: the roll call pieces the White House continues their pivot

106
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: towards congressional Democrats and the President will work with any

107
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: members who want to move the ball forward. Okay, So

108
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: the President said this last week that he's pivoting away

109
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: from a legislative strategy that's only exclusively based on Republicans.

110
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: And then he made a deal with Schumer and Pelosi

111
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: because Republicans, Mitch McConnell come back after an August recess,

112
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: after a July recess, after a fourth of July recess,

113
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: after a Memorial Day recess. I mean, these guys have

114
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: more recess than anybody I know. We got like thirty

115
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: legislative days in this next fourteen week period to actually

116
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: get some work done for the American people. And so

117
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: Trump said, finally, okay, you don't have a deal, let

118
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: me let me put this together and We'll extend the

119
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: debt ceiling for three months, and I'm gonna get the

120
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: money to Texas because I promised promised the people of

121
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Texas that were victims of Hurricane Harvey that I'm gonna

122
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: get the money. That's like rolling up your sleeves like

123
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: the rest of us, just to get something done. Beyond frustrating,

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: where is their sense of urgency? You know, if I

125
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: was in Congress and I was a Republican, I think

126
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: I'd be embarrassed at their inability to unite and get

127
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: things done. I've said it during the healthcare debate. Getting

128
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: a room closed, the door, throw away the key, turn

129
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: off the air conditioning. I'll order all the pizza you

130
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: guys can eat and stay there until you get your

131
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: job done. It's so frustrating to anybody, like and I

132
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: know McConnell, our expectations were out of whack. Pull that

133
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: sun that cut up Jason. I want to remind people

134
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: because it's relevant. How do you say, after seven and

135
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: a half years, Well, maybe the president doesn't understand the

136
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: parliamentary procedures involved in in all of this. It is

137
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: a complicated process, and you know, the time we get

138
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: up in the morning at eleven O'clockay, by the time

139
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: we eat our lunch in the Senate dining room, and

140
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: then have a nap after lunch, perhaps a brandy and

141
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: as a goal. Uh, And then we have one or

142
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: two hours maybe they're chat about things, and then it's

143
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: off to the Senate dining room. I mean, that's what

144
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: they sound like. That's even when they're they're they're not

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: even there half the time. And he says everybody's expectations

146
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: are too high. They're not too high. And where do

147
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: you hear after you hear this what McConnell's now saying

148
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: about the tax plan, where do you hear this? Listen

149
00:07:50,880 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: to this first? And I'm gonna tell you why a

150
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: Commress goes on for two years. And part of the

151
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: reason I think that the storyline is that we haven't

152
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: done much is because in part of the President and

153
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: others have set these early kind of lines about things

154
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: need to be done by a certain point. Now our

155
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: new president had of course, I've been in this line

156
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: of work before, and I think had excessive with expectations

157
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: come out how quickly things happen in the democratic profit

158
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: And so part of the reason I think people feel

159
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: like we're under under performing. Isn't because too many kind

160
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: of artificial deadlines unrelated to the reality of the complexity

161
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: um legislator may not have been fully understood. And of

162
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: course our political adversaries would be loves obviously that anytime.

163
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: So what I'm asking of you is to judge this

164
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: converse when it finishes. How much have we done? The

165
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: maga America competitive again and again? And that's part of

166
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: American AWFU so much that statement is so out of

167
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: touch with how everybody else in this country lives their

168
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: lives that I hear that, and it just brings up

169
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: raw emotion and fury and anger in me about this.

170
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Been there, you know, bables, haven't been there, done nothing.

171
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: They're expectations. The timelines that you know there's you know,

172
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,359
Speaker 1: not been in line with the work, Excessive expectations, artificial deadlines.

173
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: I resent this and the complexity of legislation. And the

174
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: President has never done this before. They're there there, Mr President,

175
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: Let me pat you on the head. You've never done this.

176
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I understand the complexity in parliamentary procedures. Blah blah blah.

177
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying legislation is easy, but after eight freaking years.

178
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: You would think you guys can get your act together

179
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: and have a plan, a consensus plan ready on healthcare,

180
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: but you can't, and that's your failure. And then rather

181
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: than spend the summer learning from your mistakes and preparing

182
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: to deal with the debt ceiling and preparing to deal

183
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: with the tax plan, Well, here's what we hear from

184
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: McConnell just recently or whatever it ended up in roll

185
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: call today. But I mean, I'm stunned by what I'm

186
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: actually reading him, by what I'm actually hearing here and again,

187
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: the headline is the White House continues to pivot towards

188
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: congressional Democrats, and the President wants to work with anybody

189
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: who wants to move the ball forward and get something done,

190
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: accomplish anything at this point. Anyway, The article goes on

191
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: and it says, while Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has

192
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: said a tax bill it might slip into next year,

193
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: slip into next year? What are you talking about next year?

194
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: What have you done all summer except wine and complain

195
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: that people's expectations are too high? How? What is so hard?

196
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Why is it so hard to do this? How about

197
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: your vote? On changing the tax code from seven brackets

198
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: to three brackets. Why don't we start there, Why don't

199
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: you vote on something as simple as giving the middle class,

200
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: hard working taxpayers of this country a tax cut. Why

201
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: don't you move from there? And then you move to corporations,

202
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: because corporations don't pay taxes anyway, and you go from

203
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: the highest taxes for corporations in the industrialized world to

204
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: one of the lowest. A like, now, why is that

205
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: good for the working men and women, the forgotten men

206
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: and women in this country? You know, the ones that

207
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: need to be more patient, that are in poverty, on

208
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: food stamps and out of the labor force, that camp

209
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: buy a house, Those people, Senator, Senator McConnell, those that

210
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: don't have your great lifestyle, Why don't think about them?

211
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: Maybe you'd have a certain sense of urgency if you

212
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: were in that position. And then all you would do

213
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: is those corporations they're gonna invest. What are they going

214
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: to invest in? Ways to make more money? How do

215
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: they make more money? They build factories and manufacturing centers

216
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: and stores, and then there's construction and people's jobs are

217
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: going forward. You know, why don't you move on the

218
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: energy sector. These are simple things to do. Repatriation. Multinational

219
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: corporations trillions of dollars parked overseas, and you say, well,

220
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: how do we know they're gonna spend it? Because they don't.

221
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? Put the money in the bank.

222
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: That's not the way corporations roll. Their job is to

223
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: get profits. And if they don't get profits, whoever is

224
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: running the company is going to be thrown out of

225
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: the company. So the only way they're gonna make a

226
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: profit is to start with capital investment. And the capital

227
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: investment is gonna be Okay, we've got to construct factories

228
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: and manufacturing centers. Oh and now we ought to do

229
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: it in the United States because the tax situation, the

230
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: regulatory situation in the country has gotten infinitely better. And

231
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: while you're at it, remember the single greatest thing we

232
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: can do for this country as energy independence. We have

233
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: more natural gas. It's the lifeblood of our economy. Energy.

234
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: We have all these countries we import energy from that

235
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: hate our guts. It's good for national security, it's good

236
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: for job creation. It's so good for job creation. There

237
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: would be millions of jobs that would be created that

238
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: would end up being career jobs for those people that

239
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: aren't working. It's I'm sitting here stunned. You've got fourteen

240
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: weeks and you're preparing us for another defeat. And I'm like, first,

241
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: you wanted the House, you got it. Then you wanted

242
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: the Senate, you got it. Then you wanted the presidency,

243
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: you got it. But you didn't get the guy you wanted.

244
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: You want an establishment candidate, but he's offering reaganess answers,

245
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: which I've supported my whole life and career, and you're

246
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: not supporting them. So what are you going to do?

247
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. Now I do understand. It's the

248
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: swamp and the sewer, and Republicans are stuck in it. Alright,

249
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: eight Show, We'll get to some of your calls in

250
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: the next half hour. Jay Secular, Chief Council American Center

251
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: for Law Injustice Council to the President is here today.

252
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: We got Dave Bratt and the Chairman of the Freedom Caucus,

253
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, two of the people that I trust they're

254
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna join us in the course of the program as well.

255
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's like the greatest opportunity and

256
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: they're just there's no energy urgency motivation to just get

257
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: any of this done. Now, there is one little bit

258
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: of good news in the last Dave Bratton and Mark

259
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: Meadows about it later. But I was actually intrigued, and

260
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: I've discussed it a little bit in the past about

261
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: the idea that they're gonna make one last push to

262
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: repeal Obamacare before the deadline, or appeal before the deadline

263
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: for a vote under the rules of reconciliation. I won't

264
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: go through all the parliamentary ins and outs of this,

265
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: but that expires on September and you've got Lindsay Graham

266
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: and and Bill Cassidy and Bean Heller of Nevada and

267
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson. And I assume if Lindsey Graham will

268
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: do it, as Buddy John McCain would probably jump on board.

269
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: Now is a small government conservative that wants as much

270
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: as possible limited government. I think this is overall a

271
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: pretty good idea, and that is let the states decide,

272
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: and you know, the devil's ultimately going to be in

273
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: the in the details of this, but in other words,

274
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: the states would decide whether they want to stay with

275
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Obamacare or not. For example, California can have it, you know.

276
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Jerry Brown is announcing today that they're going to be

277
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: a sanctuary city. Okay, I don't want to live in California.

278
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't even want to live in New York for

279
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: that matter, because of the record unbelievable, abusively high taxation

280
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: in this state. And after all, the governor doesn't even

281
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: want me here because I'm pro life and I believe

282
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: in the Second Amendment. Anyway, Governor Brown's negotiating a deal

283
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: to make California a sanctuary state. Well, in New York,

284
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: New York City, you pay an extra twelve points seven

285
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: in federal income tax in California third team point five.

286
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: So anyway, what they're saying here is the bill would

287
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: provide one point two trillion for Obamacare's Medicaid expansion and

288
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: tax credits to states in an attempt to get the

289
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: states to develop their own program. I'm saying, let New York, California,

290
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: and all these liberal states, let them, let them come

291
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: up with their own program. And the problem is going

292
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: to be in the details of this the Senate parliamentarian

293
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: rule that in order to use the budgetary rule, you know,

294
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: they ought to just get rid of the supermajority anywhere,

295
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: making a simple majority by the way, the Senate is

296
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: done before, there is plenty of precedence for it. And

297
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: anyone that tells you otherwise not telling you the truth.

298
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll get to

299
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: some of your calls, and then we have Mark Meadows,

300
00:16:42,880 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: Dave Bratt, and j Secul all coming up, holding them accountable.

301
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: Sean gets the answers no one else does. America desserts

302
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: and know the truth about Congress to the top of

303
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: the hour. What's the deal Linda with Linday Lindsey Graham

304
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: in this program? He doesn't want to come on anymore? Right,

305
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I reached out to his

306
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: person and I am waiting people his peeps. Well, he

307
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,840

00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: the fire. They work for the people. They don't work

00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,080

329
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: time caller called Manning be able to get through. I'm

330
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: glad you made it. I haven't answered your question from

331
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: the earlier segment. The reason McConnell, Ryan and about the

332
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: other crooks in Washington won't get off their ass. They're

333
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: on the take. You and I are both from the streets. Man.

334
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple to see, pretty simple to see. I

335
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: don't know so much of Look, I don't know where

336
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: the money is coming. From I don't know if it

337
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: necessarily on the take. I will say this, there is

338
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: a certain fear among politicians. There's two things going on

339
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: right now. There's a fear among them to take bold

340
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: steps and just you know, the answer to good politics

341
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: and an election victories to keep your promises. And so

342
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: there's a fear taking a bold stand and the fact

343
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: that they haven't gotten their act together. They didn't have

344
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: a debt ceiling advancement is frustrating. By the way. Governor

345
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: Rick Scott is us on our Newsmaker line. Governor Scott, first,

346
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: I want to give you all the kudos I possibly can.

347
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: I bet you probably slept like three hours in the

348
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: last six days, but you did an amazing job getting

349
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: the people in the great state of Florida safe. And

350
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: thank god, it took a little bit of a westward turn,

351
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: but it went right into our hometown of Naples, my

352
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: second home in Naples, Florida. I don't get there nearly

353
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: as much as I want to, but I hear everything's

354
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: all right. Well, we were very fortunate. The most important thing, though,

355
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: is we got protecting every person's life. The family is important.

356
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: So I tell everybody that you know We're still making

357
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: sure that we did find through through the hurricane. But

358
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: now we've got down paral line, we've got a lot

359
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: of debris um so you've got to make sure that

360
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: you're very cautious when you're going back to your house,

361
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: because I don't want to lose any anybody in our state.

362
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: And we'll get our power back on. We have in

363
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: the last two and twenty four million people got their

364
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: power back. We're working with our utilities to make sure

365
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: we are a power back as as possible, making sure

366
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: that get a fuel back into the state. The President

367
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 1: has provided the resources. I asked him for a pre

368
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: landfall decorations. He agreed, as for a major decoration afterwards,

369
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: he agreed that day. So federal resources are coming in.

370
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: So I want to thank the president. Vice President Amster

371
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: brought along from FEMA. I've been talking to him all

372
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: the time they've been They've been helping us every day.

373
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot of work to do, but

374
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people down here helping us. I hear

375
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: you're you're in the Naples area and then the southwest

376
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: Florida's area of Fort Myers area with my buddy Sheriff

377
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: Mike Scott and his deputy Carmine, the two friends of mine.

378
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: Be careful of Carmine. Though he's a troublemaker, he's a

379
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: wonderful person. Wonderful person. I'm not saying that he's horrible.

380
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: I love the guy. I'm totally messing with you, you know,

381
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: I will say this. I saw in your face and

382
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: so as I watched all of this, and I can't

383
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: tell you how many hours. I'm such a loser, Governor.

384
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I spent hours and hours and hours, and

385
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: I thought the Fox News channel coverage was amazing, and

386
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: I was so compelled I couldn't even watch the jets

387
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: I was watching. I was watching the coverage obviously going on,

388
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: and I'm just glad that everybody had gotten out there

389
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: because this we saw what happened in Barbuddha and so

390
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: some of these other islands. I mean, it was pretty

391
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: devastating hard. I mean, dwellings were destroyed. So we did

392
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: get a little bit lucky on this. And I know

393
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: some people say, oh, I should have written this thing out,

394
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, you shouldn't have. You can't risk

395
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: your life. You can't your life is too fresh. First,

396
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: your life Fox do a very good job. Helped us

397
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: get the message out that you know, you can you

398
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: can you can build a house, but you can't repair,

399
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: you can't rebuild a life. And so they helped us

400
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: get that message out. So people were evacuating and listening.

401
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: UM and the thing impacted our entire state from the

402
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: Naples all the way to Jacksonville, the key that was down.

403
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: I flew by the keys UH to see the damage

404
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: yesterday stopped in UH in Key West. They're still they're

405
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: still struggling. They don't have water, they don't have sewer,

406
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: they don't have power. But we're working to get the

407
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: roads open and get all the resources back down there.

408
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody, state, local, and federal for

409
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: working hard. We have a lot of work to do.

410
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of refreshing. And you know, I'm

411
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: a small government conservative, and I think often government is

412
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: the problem. UH and we've seen with these hurricanes when

413
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: government doesn't coordinate, I e. You know, Mayor Nagan and

414
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: and Governor Blanco at the time in Katrina, which was

415
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: a disaster. And then I look at how Governor Rabbitt,

416
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: the friend of yours in Texas, and how well you've done,

417
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: and Pam Bondi did, and the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick,

418
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: and and state, local and federal authorities coordinating and keeping

419
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: people safe and prepositioning resources you know, to move right

420
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: into the state after it happens, and and we were

421
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: ready for the worst uh case scenario. Do you have

422
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: any estimates about how bad the damage is going to be?

423
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: The cost factor of fifty billion is one figure I

424
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: saw today, maybe more. I don't have a number yet,

425
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: will work through each county easy to get that number.

426
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: Do we look at now? What I've got to do

427
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: is make sure we protect life. The most important thing

428
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: we can do every day. UM. Make sure that that

429
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: we get fuel back in the state, which I'm getting

430
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: our ports open right now to get more tankers in here.

431
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: Make sure that our power gets back on, making sure

432
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: the Acchillites have every resource they need, and so that

433
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: way we can get people back to their homes. But Naples,

434
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: especially if you go out to the Mochily in the

435
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: Mockley area, there's their last sight. They actually didn't get

436
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: really it's really bad. Um. Not a wealthy area. Jacksonville, Ore.

437
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: Three people were rescued and we sent fish and wildlife

438
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: officers to help them used today when a flooding came up.

439
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: So people are showing up and the most important thing

440
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: now is keep everybody alive and then work on getting

441
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: everybody you know their life fast. Well. I gotta tell you,

442
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: I heard an urgency in your voice every day. As

443
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: soon as you saw this was headed towards you, you

444
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: just it was all hands on deck. I gave you

445
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. It's one of the times that

446
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: we can look at government doing their job and doing

447
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: it well and saving people's lives. And as long as

448
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: we follow through, then it will be a complete success.

449
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: And I have no doubt, knowing you as well as

450
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: I do, that that's going to happen. And uh, I

451
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: hope you get some resk Governor. I know how hard

452
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: you've been working. And our thoughts and prayers for those

453
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: people that are going to be inconvenience further and have damage,

454
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: and I hope they get the help and assistance they

455
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: need quickly. Thanks so much, and my best to the

456

00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,360

459
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: even just say. Carmine is the greatest guy I ever met.

460
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: The sheriff is the greatest guy. You know. I'm a

461
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: I'm an honorary deputy down there. I don't know if

462
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: you know that. Are you really that's great? I'm under

463
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: stiff for wonderful people. Absolutely. Alright, Governor, thank you, and

464
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: we appreciate all you did here to help people. Alright,

465
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: eight nine one, Sean is our number. You want to

466
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. Jeff in Oklahoma, Jeff High,

467
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: How are you glad you called? What's going on? Jeff?

468
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: Thank you? I appreciate it. Uh, you do a great job.

469
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: But it's getting a little redundant listening every day all

470
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: these people out called Mitch McConnell out, called Paul Ryan out,

471
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: and these people that are being criminals by not getting

472
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: anything done. What do you think? What do you think

473
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing today? I'm calling Mitch McConnell out by name.

474
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I just played Mitch McConnell's stupid comment

475
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: about how are expectations are excessive? And then I talked

476
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: about Mitch McConnell saying that this whole deal may not

477
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: get done until let me let me quote it here.

478
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: I want to get it accurate. But Mitch McConnell literally

479
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: saying on the tax bill, well that might have to

480
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: slip into next year. I'm like, what are you doing?

481
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: That's what do you think I'm doing? I'm calling him out? Yeah,

482
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean more so, I mean really calling him out.

483
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: Go set in his office until you didn't want You

484
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: want me to go sit in his office and do

485
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: my radio program from his office and get arrested and

486
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: then you're gonna come bail me out. That's that's really

487
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: an effective way to call him out. That's so dumb.

488
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: What do you I mean, what do you want me

489
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: to do? You want me to do? You want me

490
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: to go into his office and and call him out

491
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: in person? Yeah? Yeah, okay, Well I actually I actually

492
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: did run into him when the President spoke to the

493
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: Joint Session of Congress. As that Mitch McConnell, Sean Hannity

494
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: looked at me and his face contorted, I'm not exactly

495
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: a on the fan list of Mitch McConnell. And trust me,

496
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: if I can't get Lindsey Graham on the program, Mitch

497
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: McConnell's not coming on this program because I've said he

498
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: needs to go. Yeah, I agree with you, and I'm

499
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: all for what you're saying. I just think these people

500
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: need to be called out. And I don't know, I

501
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: don't like shape I'm trying to urge. I'm trying to

502
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: create the sense of urgency that is needed to get

503
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: the job done. And when I read today that he's

504
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: saying that he might slip the tax bill into next

505
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: year because of the complexity of writing something that can

506
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: garner sixty votes, I'm like, I'm I'm ready to jump

507
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: off a bridge in frustration. So I don't know what

508
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: part of me calling them out you're not hearing. Because

509
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm calling them out and I keep saying, do your job,

510
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: and if it's redundant, is because I'm trying urgently to

511
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 1: get them to feel what I feel. I don't go

512
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: through my life without a sense of urgency. I've had

513
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: it my entire life. Anyway, thank you. I don't mean

514
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: to yell at you. You're a good guy, but I mean,

515
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: you know this is I'm trying to urge. These guys

516
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: used to understand the moment, the opportunity. It's like it's

517
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: it's right there. In the fact, it's so frustrating to me.

518
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: You know, when I was a dishwasher at twelve, there's

519
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: an urgency. There's the dishes are piling up, and you

520
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: gotta move your ass. You gotta move. When you're delivering papers,

521
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: you gotta move. You gotta get it done, when you're cooking,

522
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, you gotta move. There's no there's

523
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: no not moving. You don't keep your job if you

524
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: don't move. The light goes on in radio. You gotta go.

525
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: There's no oh wait a minute. Your your expectations of

526
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: hearing something at three or twelve hoh six, depending on

527
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: what coast you live, is way out of whack. I'm

528
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: not ready. I'll be back in an hour. I think

529
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: I should be prepared in an hour. Meeting lunch. Now,

530
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: just where's your sense of purpose and urgency? What did

531
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: you go there for? What was the purpose of going there?

532
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: Meaning to Washington? If you don't want to work hard,

533
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: all right, Linda's right, Well why don't you I'll go,

534
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: I'll it in his office. Why are you texting me

535
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: that one? Well, you were on a roll. I didn't

536
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: want to, you know, I didn't want to break up

537
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: your flow because I mean, what am I doing but

538
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: calling them out? How do I help if I go

539
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: get arrested? And he's right, He's right, We're not doing enough.

540
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: I mean, why should we send you to get a run? Exactly?

541
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: Why should we depend on our elected officials? I think

542
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: I should go and sit there in Lindsey Graham's office,

543
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: in McConnell's office, and just sit there and just make

544
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: some noise. And I assure you, after hearing me say

545
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: do it, get it done, they'll get it done. Don't

546
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: want me to go back to New York. They won't

547
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: want to keep me there. You know, I've used the example.

548
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: We've got sweet baby James. He eats lunch at his desk.

549
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: Where do you eat lunch every day? Is that question

550
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: for me? The questions for you? I eat lunch in

551
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: the studio, okay? And Lauren? Where do you eat lunch

552
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: every day? Where do you eat? Uh? Usually like right

553
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: in front of you at like four o'clock exactly, Ethan,

554
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: where do you eat your lunch? Yeah? Hello, you gotta

555
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: put your mic on and talk in the studio. And Jason,

556
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: where do you eat? I mean, I don't eat anything

557
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: major until I get home. I'm eating pretzels right now, exactly.

558
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: And and and so one of the things we do is

559
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: a show. We keep the studio stock with junk food

560
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: and people and coffee and talk, and we nobody leaves,

561
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: nobody moves. Julie is in Fort Myers, Florida, listening to

562
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Fox News Radio. What's going on, Julie? How are you

563
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: glad you called? Hi? Sean? How are you? You're a

564
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: bright spot in our day? Oh? Thank you? Line waiting

565
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: for gas for a generator? Well, is the line that long?

566
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: How long is it? Uh? It's not too bad. This

567
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: station that we regularly go to had gas in the

568
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: ground and earlier this morning they couldn't get their vows working,

569
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: so it came out again. But some of the gas

570
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: lines are three hours long. Um, and then you don't

571
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: have any guarantee you're gonna get gas when you get there. Well,

572
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: but well, you know the state, you know, Governor Scott's

573
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: office created this right to let you know where the

574
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: gas go, I think is what it's called. Somebody we've

575
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: been using gas, buddy, And we've been doing that buddy. Yeah,

576
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: And and we've been doing those things and don't we

577
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: have such a wonderful governor. He's been doing such a

578
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: great job. You know, I actually felt sorry for him.

579
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I just think he really didn't

580
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: want one. I mean I was watching me. That's such urgency.

581
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: Please please listen, please please. We can replace your property.

582
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: We can't replace you. We can't. And I mean he

583
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: cares about the people of the state. I loved it.

584
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: I loved this passion. Now we're the idiots that did

585
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: stay because you know, the first thing I tell you

586
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: was listened to your local authorities. And we know if

587
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: you'll listen to me, I was telling you to go.

588
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: I told you to go. But okay, but we're real

589
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: life to that. You know, Sean, you know how populated

590
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: we are down here. Now it's busy. I know, it's

591
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: just my husband and I and we're like, you know

592
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: what we need to get the elderly taple out. You know,

593
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: we were higher ground where, you know, in a well

594
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: built home. Now, did we have a come to Jesus

595
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: moment when they said the storm was coming through seven between?

596
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: I bet I bet you did. I bet you said,

597
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: why didn't we listen to anity and the governor? Yeah,

598
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: we did. Yeah, well, listen, you made it through. I'm

599
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: just happy you made it out alive. Listen. And I

600
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: know it's going to be inconvenient for a while. Just

601
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: hang tough. You know, I'd say, drink a beer online,

602
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: but I guess if you do that, you get arrested

603
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: by Carmine for d u y. Well, yeah, yeah, I

604
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: know Carmine. You know Carmine. Do you know? Do you know?

605
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Do you know the Sheriff's Carmine. No, yeah, it's true.

606
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: Right by the way, don't go to dinner with Carmine

607
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: and expect to get a word in edgewise. Don't. Just

608
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen. And the and the governor, I'm sorry.

609
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: And the sheriff what a what a nice man? I mean,

610
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: And I'm an honorary sheriff, but I'm not really a sheriff.

611
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: But I really just admire the people down there, you know,

612
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm I get down there two weeks a year, and uh,

613
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: I hang out with my buddy Mike Scott. The He's

614
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: just they're just great people. You know. Four days before

615
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: the hurricane, they were taken all the homeless people, getting

616
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: them shelter, and they were thinking ahead, which we don't

617
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: get often enough. Listen, I'm late, Julie God blush you,

618
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: Hank tough. Um, It's gonna get better every day now.

619
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm promising you that it will. Do you ever reaction

620
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: to Steve Bannon's Thomas sixty Minutes saying that the firing

621
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: of James Comey was the biggest political mistake in modern history.

622
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: And I think that we've been pretty clear what our

623
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: position is. Uh, And certainly I think that that has

624
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: been shown UH in the days that followed that the

625
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: President was right and firing Director Comy. UH. Since Director's firing,

626
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: we've learned new information about his conduct UM that only

627
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: provided further justification for that firing, including giving false testimony,

628
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: leaking privileged information to journalists. He went outside of the

629
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: chain of command and politicized and invent to a presidential candidate.

630
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: I think the President has been very clear about his

631
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: position on that front. Uh. He's very least with the

632
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: new director UM and has full confidence in him to

633
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: fully restore and lead the FBI. I totally agree with

634
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 1: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, glad you're with us our to Sean

635
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: Hannity Show, and she was referencing Steve Bannon. I thought

636
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: it was a very powerful interview though on sixty minutes

637
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night. But now we know that the fix

638
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 1: was in and James Comey was exonerating and writing up

639
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: a statement about the exoneration of Hillary before he really

640
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: even began to get into the meat and potatoes of

641
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: the investigation, like interviewing witnesses, including the person herself, Hillary Clinton.

642
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: And he is now the chief counsel for the American

643
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: Center for Law and Justice. Jay Sekulo is with US

644
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: also counsel to the President. How are you, sir? Look,

645
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: I won't regurgitate everything Sarah Huckabye Sanders said, but it's

646
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: pretty much everything I've been saying and I think you've

647
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: been saying as it relates to come And now, on

648
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: top of the new news about Comey um basically having

649
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: the fix in for Hillary and not doing an investigation,

650
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: his statement kind of took me back. Well, I mean,

651
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: everything he said was was not Nothing he said was correct.

652
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: So if you look at his whole build up to

653
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: the July statement about Hillary Clinton and then his subsequent

654
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: testimony on Capitol Hill where he said he was just

655
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: outrage and he felt compelled to have to give his

656
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: statements that he made because of the meeting between Loretta

657
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: Lynch and Bill Clinton in it and what it brought

658
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice. When I've got in our

659
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act litigation against the Justice Department, we

660
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: had a mandatory production from the court that included with

661
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: it FBI emails, which they denied exist, of course, but

662
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: the but the Department of Justice showed him that the

663
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: information about that event on the tarmac was sent to

664
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: his chiefest staff within hours of becoming known by the media.

665
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: Within hours it was admitted, actually within minutes, it was

666
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 1: at his chiefest staff. So this whole and he played

667
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: this righteous indignation and holier than now approach James Comey

668
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: at bottom, and this is the one I keep going

669
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: back to. Had a conversation with the President of the

670
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: United States, took notes of that conversation on his government

671
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: computer and his government car stuck him in his government desk,

672
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: and then he leaked his conversation with the President of

673
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: the United States. He leaked it to a friend of

674
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 1: his who was a law professor, for the sole purpose

675
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: of getting it to New York Times, with the end

676
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: goal of getting a special counsel. So you look at

677
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: this entire set up, and that's exactly what it was,

678
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: a set up. And James Comey, now we know, also

679
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: was drafting his declination letters three months before he interviewed

680
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: sixteen witnesses, including the target of the investigation. So there's

681
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: not a whole lot for James Comey to be up

682
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: bragging about, and a lot of reasons for the President

683
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: to fire him. Well, and also to me that that

684
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: very fact should open up the door for the Attorney General,

685
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions, to appoint a special counsel or at least

686
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: begin the investigation into a matter that clearly was never

687
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: investigated in a proper fashion, and it seems collusion took

688
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: place on a number of fronts. So I don't know

689
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: if you have to have I don't think you have

690
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: to have a special counsel for this. I think this

691
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: can be done within the Department of Justice, be a

692
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: full investigation, but with FBI agents uh and Department Justice

693
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: lawyers supervising. Now for all we know Sean that could

694
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: be going on, I mean we would not that would

695
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: not necessarily nor should it be public of that kind

696
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: of investigation, but they sure should be. Could you imagine

697
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: if you, well, look, if you were an FBI agent

698
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: and took a Form three or two, which was the

699
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: note taking form that you utilized when you're an FBI agent,

700
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: and leaked it to the press. What do you think

701
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: would happen to you or me or anybody else? Right,

702
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: But he gets it, he gets a special rule, and

703
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: not so quick. But the entire framework where he put

704
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: forward that whole agenda of why he had to do

705
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: what he did was a false narrative from the start.

706
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: Did you read? Um? I forget where I saw this

707
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: yesterday that there was a report that Sessions wants the

708
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: NFC staff to take light of tech and test. So

709
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: there's there are reports in the press that the Attorney

710
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: General concerned as he should be, as we all should be,

711
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: about the leak leaks of information coming out of the

712
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: National Security Council, including conversations that the president had with

713
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: foreign leaders warrants in his view, And this is with

714
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: reports are some type of either polygraphs or questioning by

715
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: various Probably why didn't I assume j that that would

716
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: already have been happening, you would have you know, I

717
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: I know that there we all know this just from

718
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: the way the government agency has worked. There's supposed to

719
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: be constant monitoring of leaks and and that kind of information.

720
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: But I think that what the what I hear from

721
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: just the media reports, uh, is that the Attorney General

722
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: wants it on a what I would call more formalized

723
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: basis that because of the continued concern on this. Alright,

724
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: So you've been a lawyer for however many years? How

725
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: many almost? This is a long time. You don't look

726
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: you don't look as old this you must be. I

727
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: am six, I'm sixty one. I've been practicing law for

728
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: nineteen ready for this, since admitted to the bar in

729
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, went to work for cheap councils up as

730
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: the r starting in nineteen seventy nine, two years ago. Listen,

731
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 1: I started radio. This is like my thirty anniversary. Here

732
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,760
Speaker 1: you go, Uh, same thing for me. In all your years,

733
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: you obviously have come across light detector test. Do you

734
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: believe them? I've never been one that has had a

735
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: whole lot of I agree with the courts rule that

736
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: a lot of polygraphs are generally not admissible because you

737
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: you can game a polygraph. I mean, there are people

738
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: that have become experts at this, but it's a gaming,

739
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: a polygaph. But there are, there are. There's a reason

740
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: that they're utilized, and that is if you know that

741
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: that potential is out there, it should stop the leaking.

742
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,439
Speaker 1: My view is the best polygraph, so to speak, would

743
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: be a couple of prosecutions for these people that are leaking.

744
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: You do that, and I think the leaking stops. But

745
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: you gotta. But I'm not gonna question what the Attorney

746
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: General's suggesting here because none of us know exactly the

747
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: nature and scope of what they're actually dealing with with

748
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: regard to these leaks. So don't know. We do know

749
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: this that we've had a leak a day, and I

750
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: can't remember in my lifetime of city and President having

751
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: to deal with verbatim conversations that he's had with prime

752
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: ministers and others. I was gonna say, the scope of

753
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: nature of these leaks are unprecedented, and yeah, I mean

754
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: you're talking about conversations with government officials, heads of government,

755
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: heads of state, and that information is leaked. There's no

756
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: excuse for that. What what should happen is a prosecution

757
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: and should happen immediately, and should be investigating mely. I

758
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: think what's getting sent out it sounds like is that

759
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: the Attorney General is taking this very seriously. I think

760
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: they've got to when I understand a task force or

761
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: something like it on government leaks. And look, this has

762
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: been a real problem over the last It's been a

763
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: problem for decades, but at at an exponential rate under

764
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: the current administration. The investigations now begin or be revisited.

765
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: Hillary emails, UM, I don't know if you've been following

766
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: the Debbie wassonon Schultz case. It appears that in fact

767
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: that this guy, this I t operative and and maybe

768
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: his brother are gonna flip. At least there was one

769
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: report out there today and we know that apparently he

770
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: had left in a place with a letter to law enforcement. Um,

771
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: Tebbie Wasson and Schultz is computer. I'm sure he didn't

772
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: do that for any other reason except that there's a

773
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: problem on that computer there somewhere. But do you think

774
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: that these investigations will take place? The leaking investigation will

775
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: take place, the coma investigation is going to take place.

776
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into uranium one. And what about the

777
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: special counsel? Why is the special counsel in place because

778
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: I yet to see any evidence of Trump Russia collusion

779
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: in the campaign, and the more and more we discover

780
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: and we learn it never happened. That's correct. And look,

781
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean here here's you want to talk about the

782
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: whole establishment of the Special counsel's role. Uh, you gotta

783
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: go back to the Russian the Steel dossier, I mean,

784
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: which is getting a lot of attention now from our

785
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: friend Congressman. Uh. This is uh Trey Gaudy, and it's

786
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: getting a lot of attention because Trey Goudy said it's

787
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: basically a fiction, and that was the basis upon which

788
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: the entire discussion as to this whole Russia you know,

789
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: so called collusion took place. I go back to something

790
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: I've said before, Sean, and you know, no one is

791
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: yet to show me a law, rule, regulation, and statue

792
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: that actually defines what collusion even is. Now, if they're

793
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: talking about Russian engagement with the political process, that's markedly

794
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: different from what's being discussed in the press. Let me

795
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: just say this. My view is at the end of

796
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: the day, when this is done, and it will be done,

797
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: the President of the United States and the administration we're

798
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: not colluding with the Russians, whatever that means in the

799
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: scope of the nature of an investigation. And I don't

800
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: think that's you know, somebody try to say that's news,

801
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: but of course that's not news. What has been the

802
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: evidence of any of this? And I think the media

803
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: is so desperate for stories that they'll probably take a

804
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: statement like that and trying to make a story. But

805
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: the fact is, you know, with the American people have

806
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: seen what's out there. You know, a meeting that took

807
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: place a year ago that produces nothing that these are not.

808
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: This is not the basis, you know, it's it makes

809
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: for a good you know, novel maybe or a movie script,

810
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: makes a good conspiracy theory news network, but but it's not.

811
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: But it's not a legally significant moment. All right, let

812
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: me talk about Mitch McConnell and I got it. I'm

813
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: talking about this later in the program with our Freedom

814
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: Caucus friends. There's a role Call article that's out today,

815
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: and it was pretty shocking because in the article, Mitch

816
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: McConnell actually said that the tax bill might slip into

817
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: next year given the complexity of writing something that can

818
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: garner sixty votes. Now, why we he doesn't eliminate this

819
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: new this Why he doesn't go to a simple majority

820
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: is beyond my comprehension. Because the Democrats do what the

821
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: constitution says. Why not stick with what the constitutions is?

822
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: That's one number two. He didn't get healthcare done. Now

823
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: I know they're gonna take another stab at it with

824
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham's plan Um, which may not be a bad plan.

825
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: Actually I think it's I mean, I think it's a

826
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: good I mean, servatives a lot of things going back

827
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: to the states. We want less washingtons make a lot

828
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: of sense actually, and centralized proposing is a good idea.

829
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: But now he's saying he may be pushed in the

830
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: next year. And yeah, yeah, I think that's a big mistake.

831
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: First of all, look we we we have. The last

832
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: time we had tax reform in this country of any significance, right,

833
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: it was was under President Rank and it was the

834
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: Tax Reform Act of So here we are thirty one

835
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: years later. Uh, let me tell you it's time to

836
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: get this done. So it's not you know, they trying

837
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: to make it And I get and I understand the

838
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: politics as they are, but the fact is, are there

839
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: going to be Americans that are really opposing a middle

840
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: class tax cut. The answer is gonna be no. So

841
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: you know you can get that, then, so start checking

842
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: off the things that you know you can get done

843
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: that will actually impact you know. I was a tax

844
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: lawyer for my most of my training was and I

845
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: was in the office of Chief Council of the r

846
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: S when he came out of law school. And I

847
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: still do a lot of tax law. Here's the thing,

848
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: this is not so complicated. You reduced the rates. There's

849
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: more money to the individual citizen in the United States.

850
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: What do they do with it? They save and spend,

851
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and and that encourages the economy and investment.

852
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: And that's what you want to do. You want to

853
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: help the economy continue on what has been a very

854
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: good run the last seven eight months. You want to

855
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: continue that. But I think that if Mitch McConnell with

856
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: you know, look, if they don't get tax reform done

857
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: but September, October, November, and December, I I will be

858
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 1: very I think the American people will be let down

859
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: and disappointed, let down, disappointed, and rightly blame the Republican

860
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: Party in the House and Senate. It's interesting, they have

861
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: the lowest. They're almost as low in their approval rating

862
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: as the media is. We'll take a quick break more

863
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: with J Secular, American Center for Law and Justice, and

864
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: a Council to the President. Eighte one. Shawn is our

865
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number. Later on, we have much more

866
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: coming up on the program. Uh, we'll continue more with

867
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: J Seculo straight Ah, all right, As we continue, J

868
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: Secular is with US Chief Council, American Center for Law

869
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: and Justice and Council to the President. So where are we?

870
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: There are reports yesterday that all these people are being

871
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: called in that work with the President and Robert Mueller's investigation. Now,

872
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. I thought the investigation was

873
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be about collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign,

874
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: and as it relates to the d n C and

875
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: the emails and the leak on the eve of the

876
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: convention of the Democratic Party, Wasn't that what it was

877
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: supposed to be about? Yeah, the mandate is actually quite

878
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: specific in that regard. I mean, it does at its

879
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: core focus supposed to focus on collusion between purported collusion

880
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: between the Russian government and UH and the and the

881
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: Trump campaign. But let me say this, Sean, that the

882
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: fact that there's these interviews that are being discussed in

883
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: the media, and I'm not gonna get into particulars of

884
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: who is or who isn't. But I'm just not going

885
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: to go there. Uh, but let me just say that's

886
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: none of this is As a lawyer that representing lawyers

887
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: that represents the president, this is not These are not

888
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: surprising to us. This is kind of the this is

889
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: these are normal kind of things. But now I'm not

890
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: confirming who's being or who's not being. But that kind

891
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: of thing does it tells me that we're wrapping this up.

892
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: That's what it tells me we're getting close to the end.

893
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: Why because it's now they're talking to the last people.

894
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you know, any kind of of

895
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: investigation or I could use James Coming's word, any kind

896
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: of matter. Uh, you know that you're involved in with

897
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: these kind I've done. Look, I did the r S cases.

898
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they have a cycle to them, and I look,

899
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: I don't know how it's gonna relate to every I

900
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: can't speak for every other lawyer that's representing every other

901
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: person that's impacted by this. But as as Counsel of

902
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: the President. I'm expecting this to wrap up very soon. Well,

903
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: that would be great news. Does that mean that the

904
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: media told one big fat lie for almost a year.

905
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: I think the media has looked. They look what they're

906
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: creating stories out of out of nothing. I mean I

907
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: got a call yesterday I will leave the the outlet nameless,

908
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: asking me about something that happened purportedly in May or

909
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: early June of this year. And now this is news.

910
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean this, this is absurd. So they recycled their

911
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: own They're trying because there's nothing. There's nothing else. So

912
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: what else are you gonna say? You know, Don Junior

913
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: testifies everything. Nothing comes out of that negative, you know,

914
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: so what are they gonna say? He was cooperative, He

915
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: did everything professionally, So there's nothing to say. So this

916
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: is why you've got, you know, the media focusing on

917
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: things that are absolutely irrelevant. There was a story yesterday.

918
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean There's been a whole series of them. You've

919
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: seen them. There's been story after story that are recycled

920
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: from three months ago. I mean, look, I'm looking at

921
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: three months from now. They're looking at three months ago.

922
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: Does that tell you one thing? Right there? That's kind

923
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: of where it is. Well, I think what's happened is

924
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: this whole Russia conspiracy theory has become an industry for

925
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: these networks and for the Washington Post and the New

926
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: York Times. Well, they're trying to create an industry of it.

927
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: I think the American people don't find it so interesting.

928
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're in the country. You know

929
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: what the country wants to know healthcare reform. So now

930
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: that everybody's looking at Lindsay Graham's plan, which I think

931
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: actually works. I like the idea of a block grant

932
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: going back to the States, they're looking at tax reform.

933
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: That's what the American people are thinking about. They want

934
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: relief for the hurricane, those that suffered in the hurricane.

935
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: That's what the American people want. They want the president

936
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: focused on the problems with North Korea, which are serious

937
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 1: and so bring and something that is could be very

938
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: very damaging, not only to the region but to world stability.

939
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: That's what the American people are focusing on. You know what,

940
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: They're not focusing on Russia as as as a story

941
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: about the election. I mean they're not. And the media

942
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: wants to make a field day out of nothing. Julian

943
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: Assan says he has evidence. Is that something that that

944
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: the country needs to listen to. Robert Muller needs to

945
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 1: listen to. I mean, anybody that has evidence that's relevant

946
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: to an inquiry should be looked at. Now that Julian Assans,

947
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: you know, raises a particular had it right well? I mean, look,

948
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: if if if he wanted to give evidence to to

949
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: the don't have to be Robert Mueller to to the

950
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: FBI or Department of Justice, he should, he should hand

951
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: it over. I'm not gonna get into what he should

952
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: or should not do. I'm not representing him. Mut Me

953
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: be really clear. There a center for law Injustice. We'll

954

Speaker 1: coming up at the top of the hour. By the way,

965
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: there's now I feel bad for the people in Florida,

966
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: all those people that left. You all did the right thing,

967
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: and now you're stuck in traffic trying to get home,

968
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: and some of you are saying, thanks Hannity, thanks for

969
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: telling us it was coming. It wasn't as big as

970
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: you said. Great all right for all of you saying that,

971
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: I'm just glad you're alive. I love you anyway, and

972
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: hanging in there. There's still flood warnings all across Florida.

973
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 1: It's still in effect. Jacksonville I think got the worst

974
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: of it. And uh, I just saw some lines from

975
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: earlier today. I mean, look, it's just put your patient

976
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: hat on, listen to the program, put a smile on

977
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: your face, you know, learn a little bit about your country.

978
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: We'll have some fun and and we'll make the drive

979
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: go by faster. Alright, Just three hours is all we

980
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: asked today. It's not a lot among friends, right, Linda,

981
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a lot, not at all. I

982
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: think it should be longer. Oh, your mother wrote me yesterday.

983
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: What'd you write me? She wrote me something yesterday. Wasn't

984
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: her new adopted child? Yeah, sure that's coming any second now. Well,

985
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm definitely in if you know I don't you know

986
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: my mother? Oh yeah, you're the golden one for sure?

987
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: For sure? But you know, because why can we tell

988
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: the story yet? I'm tying to tell the day you

989
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: were born? No, not that day I was born. You

990
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: know the story that I'm talking about. There is once

991
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: upon a time, intramural let's say, romance going on amongst

992
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: amongst one member of the Hannity team. Here are we

993
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: hosting the love Boat? No, we're not hosting. Am I

994
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: allowed to? But I'm asking. I'm trying to know if

995
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: I can talk about it. So you're a talk show

996
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 1: host on a show called Sean Hannity. Your name happens

997
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: to be Sean Hannity, and you want to talk about something.

998
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: There's one person who's permission we need to do this,

999
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: and that person is being very silent right now. Although

1000
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: it's it does impact you, everything impacts me. And the

1001
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: best part of the whole story is I knew it

1002
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: before you knew it. Well, that's why you love it.

1003
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: So much. Yes, exactly, it's not okay, it's not okay, Hillary,

1004
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: you tell him? Can we talk about something else? Okay?

1005
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: Does that mean no? I'll give you. I'll give you

1006
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: an opportunity now to say yes or no. When are

1007
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: we going to make the announcement? Not today? Not today? Chris?

1008
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, what's this? I said, Jeopardy music. Let's

1009
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: give her some time to think about what her an.

1010
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: I didn't need a lot of time. Who is it

1011
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: Lauren dating? Who is Lauren dating? That's the big question, exactly,

1012
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: Um and Alex, I'll take that for a thousand. Oh, Alex,

1013
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: I'll take it for a hundred thousand. Because we know

1014
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: Chris and West Virginia. What's going on? Chris, glad you

1015
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,439
Speaker 1: called hey, Seann to talk to you. How you doing?

1016
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: But I'm good? Sorry? How are you? What's happening in

1017
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: West Virginia? Oh? Not too much. I just wanted to

1018
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: give you all. Uh either way, is Joe Manchin ever

1019
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna step up and support the president? My god? I

1020
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: hope so well. I tell you why, somebody needs to

1021
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: do it. At first, I thought some of the Republicans

1022
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 1: were going to and now it just seems like everybody's

1023
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: going roadblock after roadblock. It's it's so irritating. I just

1024
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't even have cable anymore. So I literally, no, no, no, no, no,

1025
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: you can't not have cable. That doesn't help me out,

1026
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: that doesn't help the country out. But you're not watching cable. Well,

1027
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: I listened to you, guys know, we appreciate it. I'm

1028
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: going to get truth. But aren't there days I tell

1029
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: you what's coming up on Hannity attend and you say, oh,

1030
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: I want to watch that. I'll tell you what. Not

1031
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: only do I save myself in stress, but it also

1032
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,359
Speaker 1: helps me pay the rent not having cable, you know,

1033
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: and listen, I get it. It's all these things are expensive.

1034
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: Everything you have. I actually have Dish TV, and I

1035
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: like it, but I'm just addicted to it. I like

1036
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: Netflix too, That's a lot of fun and a lot

1037
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: I like to watch the documentaries and some of the series. Anyway,

1038
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: what else is on your mind today? What what's going on?

1039
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: I got a man, I gotta pages of stuff. I'd

1040
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: love to spend hours with you talking about over a

1041
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: stake of the beer. But the most recent thing that's

1042
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: really getting to me is it's uh Trump, he upset

1043
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 1: that ceiling, and he's helping Texas and he's doing everything

1044
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: he can. And I saw the meeting with him in Nancy,

1045
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: and I believe it was Chuck and the two Democrats

1046
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: are sitting there with this crap eaten grin on their

1047
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: on their face, and it just seems like, oh, well,

1048
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: we finally got something that we want. Yeah, whoo who.

1049
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: And then everybody else starts bashing him for all this

1050
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: other stuff, and they're gonna ride him for helping out Texans,

1051
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: the people in Texas when he said we're gonna put

1052
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: America first. Yeah, we're not going to spend a ton

1053
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: of money overseas, but we're gonna op debts and we're

1054
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: gonna help ourselves that we're going to help out our Texans,

1055
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: And then the Republicans start bashing him. I don't have

1056
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: any any stuff. I don't have any conflict at all

1057
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: with what he did on the debt ceiling to get

1058
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: money to Texas sooner. I do have a problem here.

1059
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: I have a problem with the Republican Party. They were

1060
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: on vacation most of the summer. They don't have many

1061
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: days on the calendar in terms of working for you.

1062
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: The American people, and they came back knowing that they

1063
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: had to deal with the debt. Ceiling is the first thing,

1064
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: first course of business. This is after they failed to

1065
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: do healthcare and they had no plan. So the President

1066
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 1: just said, Okay, let's do it this way. And I

1067
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: don't blame the president because he wanted to get the

1068
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: money in the pockets of the people in Texas, and

1069
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: he'll do the same thing for the people in Florida.

1070
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: I was reading today that the cost estimates are a

1071
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: lot lower than we thought they were gonna be, which

1072
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they were talking about, you know, hundreds

1073
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars. Maybe now it's fifty and not

1074
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: two hundred billion. Good, we save money and the people

1075
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: of Florida will still be taken care of. Yeah, that

1076
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 1: and saying God, because the less money that we have

1077
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: to spend me that there's less damage that they have

1078
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: to suffer through. Listen. I like his sense of urgency.

1079
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of how we all roll and what we

1080
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: do in on this program and how I live my life,

1081
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: and frankly, it's how everybody that I know in my

1082
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: life lives life. Everybody's got stress and pressure to the max.

1083
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that's not stressed out in some

1084
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: way because they've got so much going on in their life.

1085
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 1: And again they're trying to raise their kids, pay their taxes,

1086
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: obey the laws, you know, make enough money to get

1087
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: a decent house and a nice community, safe and and

1088
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,919
Speaker 1: have a good car, and and few extras in life,

1089
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: and take a two week vacation of Disney maybe once

1090
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: every three years. They think, God, we finally have a

1091
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,479
Speaker 1: president that actually step up and do what he needs

1092
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: to do when it needs to be done, and not

1093
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: play the runaround game and the quote unquote swamp game.

1094
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: It's it's refreshing. I love it. I'm so tired of

1095
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: politicians being in there. Before Trump got elected, I had

1096
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: to deal with Clinton and then oh God, George, and

1097
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: then along came a ball. I used to make eight

1098
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year in the coal mine. Here comes

1099
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: Obama riffs everything out from underneath my feet. I go

1100
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: from ninety four thousand dollars a year to ten dollars

1101
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: an hour. Thirty hours a week is a single dad.

1102
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: So now cold mining jobs are coming back, You're gonna

1103
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: go back in the minds, I would love to, but

1104
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: being a sing with that, I don't have anyone to

1105
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: watch my son because in the coal mines you have

1106
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: to work a rotating shift. One week you work midnight's,

1107
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: one week you work afternoons, the next week you work

1108
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: day ship. I don't have anybody to listen, But if

1109
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: you're making a hundred thousand dollars versus ten bucks an hour,

1110
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: you probably can get somebody, some nice teenage kid to

1111
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 1: watch your kids. No, I don't trust any teenage kid

1112
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 1: to watch all right. You can find you can find

1113
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: a nice old lady in the community that has raised

1114
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: her kids and would love to raise yours and help

1115
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: you raise yours. I could search it out. It just

1116
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: makes me nervous. Listen, you're just like me. He's sound

1117
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: like me because I don't trust anybody. All right, there's

1118
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: gotta be a good Go find a nice old woman

1119
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: in church that would love to help you. That's the

1120
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: person I would find and give her, you know, pay

1121
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: ten bucks an hour and go. Do you know this

1122
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: way you're gonna be saving money. You're gonna have a

1123
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: little bit nicer house, a nicer truck, and you'll be

1124
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: able to have a better life, you know, look, dads

1125
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: are supposed to work. That's the bottom line. I'm assuming

1126
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 1: you're divorced, right or something, or you're separating. She took off. Okay,

1127
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: so you know, you gotta you gotta raise money. You

1128
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: gotta put food on the table, you gotta have a

1129
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: nice roof over your head. You gotta get clothes, and

1130
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: you gotta the kids are gonna want nice sneakers. And

1131
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: it all costs money. Yeah, and I'm hoping, he said, Supposedly,

1132
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: we're supposed to have some factories opening up background this way,

1133
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping, you know, we get one of too

1134
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: close to my town and my county getting one of

1135
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: You can't live on tens raise two kids, my friend,

1136
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: you gotta get listen. I don't like coal mining jobs.

1137
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: First of all, I couldn't do it because I couldn't

1138
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: be underground at that level without a maximum freak out factor. Okay,

1139
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: so I admire people that can be in those closed

1140
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: quarters and and be in the dark that long. I

1141
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: just it's so it's such a hard job. And then

1142
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: I know, safety considerations are much better than they used

1143
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: to be, but it's still a threat to your safety.

1144
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: You know, find something that you love and are passionate

1145
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: about and find ways to make money. That's my advice

1146
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: for you. But if you can get back in the

1147
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: coal mines and you're making a hundred grand a year

1148
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: and that's gonna put food on your table and a

1149
00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: better roof over your head, you can get some nice

1150
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: person you gonna find to take care of the kids.

1151
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: I promise you. Okay, I gotta wrong a J. Houston, Texas.

Speaker 1: many people, I mean their number one investments, their house.

1196
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: All right, that's you work your whole life. You know,

1197
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: you get enough money, you get it down payment, you

1198
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: get a loan, then you put in your ten twenty

1199
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: thirty years to pay the stupid thing off, and then

1200
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: you finally own the thing and it increases in value

1201
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: and it's your retirement money. And then all of a sudden, boom,

1202
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: here comes Harvey to wreck it. You know. The good

1203
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: news is, look, the country is extraordinarily generous. You got

1204
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: groups like Samaritan's Purse, That's why I donated to for Harvey,

1205
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: and a couple other groups. But you know, just you

1206
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: just the country is gonna and government work this time.

1207

01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: and a governor. And except for your dope mayor, everybody

1209
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,960

1212
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: to do there, but a g I gotta roll, my friend.

1213
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:15,919
Speaker 1: We love you, We're glad you're safe. Everybody big time.

1214
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: A J. Houston, Texas right back, will continue our Freedom Caucus. Friends.

1215
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows Dave Bratt are next. What did you think

1216
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: of the deal that Schumer and Pelosi and the President made. Well,

1217
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't what I think the Speaker and I had

1218
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: in mind, but it still had to pass the Senate.

1219
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: And Um, since I was in charge of drafting the

1220
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: death failing provision that we inserted into the flood mill, Um,

1221
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: we're likely almost certainly not going to have another death

1222
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: sailing discussion until well into so there may be some

1223
01:01:54,720 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: misinterpretation by people, including maybe people in this room, if

1224
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: you want to talk about put it this way, the

1225
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: deal is not quite as good as my counterpart thought

1226
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: it was. Um, it does not prevent extraordinary measures. And

1227
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: I think I can safely say that the death ceiling

1228
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: and the spending issue in December will be decoupled because

1229
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 1: the death ceiling will not come up until sometime in

1230
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: So if so we understand this correctly, that what you're

1231
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: saying is that the December deal now will be mainly

1232
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: about spending that correct and hurricane relief, those kind of issues,

1233
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: and that won't necessarily require a vote to increase the

1234
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: debt limit again at that time. Yeah, the Secretary of

1235
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: the Treasure won't even have to ask us to increase

1236
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the dead ceiling because the measure that I inserted into

1237
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: the bill does not prevent the use of extraordinary measures.

1238
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: And so I'm competent. He can speak for himself. But

1239
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 1: if I were in his shoes, I would say, in December,

1240
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm not asking you to increase the death sailing. Right now,

1241
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: You're going and do the rest of the here in business,

1242
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 1: and I'll see you next year on the death ceiling.

1243
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: So the fabled leverage might not be as as leverageable

1244
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: as as you as some people might think. Alright, so

1245
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: the death deal is is not as good for the

1246
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: Democrats as they thought. That sailing won't come up until Oh,

1247
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: that just gives me so much. One of the bit

1248
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: of news. As we go to a break here, they

1249
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: won't get to your closing comments. Eight one, Shawn. So

1250
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: the week of on Wednesday, I believe the twenty seven

1251
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: that you see Berkeley, it's free Speech Week and that's

1252
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: obviously been the site of a few well internet chattering

1253
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: showdowns between conservative speakers and liberals. And guess who they

1254
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: invited in. Yeah, Steve Bannon. Oh I think that's really

1255
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: gonna work if Steve Bannon is there? All right, good

1256
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: luck on all of that, and that one in particular.

1257
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Maybe we should go out there. I don't know who

1258
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: the next person at free Speech Week is going to be?

1259
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: How many? How much do you want to bet? Liberals

1260
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: do everything they can do to shut down every conservative?

1261
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: After all, they so represent freedom and free speech. One

1262
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: of the advantages of being the majority leader is you

1263
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: control the paper. And uh, I wrote it in such

1264
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: a way that it does not prevent what is frequently

1265
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: and gone is the use of extraordinary measures. And the

1266
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: minority leader and his team we're trying to get us

1267
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: not to write it that way. I did write it

1268
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: that way, and that's the way it passed. Do you

1269
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: think that there they were a little too happy with

1270
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: their deal, may have spiked the ball in the ends

1271
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: on a little too sad. But you still will need

1272
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: Democratic votes on a spending bill, and you, I mean

1273
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: you will in the in the it's so grateful to

1274
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: have votes. We needed them and uh, but we'll not

1275
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: be dealing with the dead sailing until sometime next year.

1276
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: All right, Mitch McConnell. Now, there is some news today

1277
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: that is actually pretty fascinating and interesting to watch at

1278
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: Senate Republicans. Washington Examiner reporting they're gonna make one last

1279
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 1: push to actually repeal Obamacare before the deadline for a

1280
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: vote under the rules of reconciliation, which expires on September. Now,

1281
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: you think they'd make more than one effort, more than

1282
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: one attempt last time I checked, it's only September twelve.

1283
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, four Senate Republicans are introducing this legislation on

1284
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: Wednesday that would provide the Senate with a last ditched

1285
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to repeal replace Obamacare. And that's Lindsay Graham's bill.

1286
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: He's also got Bill Cassidy and Dean Heller of Nevada,

1287
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: Um and have attracted a fourth GOP sponsor, Ron Johnson

1288
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin. And it would allow the states to decide

1289
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: the fate of Obamacare. For example, California, New York, they

1290
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: want Obamacare. They can keep their plan and keep their

1291
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: doctor and save money. The rest of us would rather

1292
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: have free market competition, health savings accounts and cooperatives. But anyway,

1293
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: the bill would provide one point two trillion for Obamacare's

1294
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: Medicaid expansion and tax credits to the states. Now, on

1295
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: the surface, as a conservative, I like anything taken out

1296
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: of Washington and sent back to the states. But the

1297
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: devil is always in the details. Here to help sort

1298
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: it out for us are good friends of the program. Frankly,

1299
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: the only people I trust in Washington right now the

1300
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus members Dave brad of Virginia and the chairman

1301
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: of the Caucus, Mark Meadows in North Carolina. You know

1302
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: we've got fourteen working weeks left in the legislative session.

1303
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Let's start with this last ditch effort to repeal Obamacare.

1304
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, is this something that would fly in the House, Well,

1305
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: I think it would, John, and and thank you for

1306
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: always being a voice for your listeners and those who

1307
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: understand that we've got to change the way that Washington,

1308
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,439
Speaker 1: d c. Does business. I can't say I've had uh,

1309
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: probably a dozen phone calls or more in discussions with

1310
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Senator Graham and Senator Santorum on this idea that we'll

1311
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,959
Speaker 1: get introduced here in just a couple of days. We've

1312
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: out a very short window, you know, as I understand

1313
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: that they're really looking at trying to push this forward

1314
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: on the twenty second of September, where they could have

1315
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: a vote a rama and hopefully pass this out of

1316
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: the Senate. But if it makes it pass the Senate,

1317
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: based on what I understand, and I've only sent seen

1318
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: parts of the legislative tax, it's certainly something there in

1319
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: lines the problem you they've only shown you parts. It's

1320
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: the parts they're holding back that trouble me. Well, it

1321
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: could be and you, you and I both know because

1322
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: we we talked on a regular basis during the first

1323
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: healthcare debate, and I can remember a few midnight one

1324
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: am conversations that people would love to have been a

1325
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: fly on the wall hearing two people I know debate passionately.

1326
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: Who the audience was. You're exactly right, my friend. But

1327
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: I can tell you that this is I'm I'm optimistic

1328
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: that if we can get this across UH with one

1329
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: votes in the Senate, that guys like Dave Bratt myself

1330
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: will be able to support it here in the House.

1331
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Let me ask that Graham won't come on this program.

1332
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: And you know, Graham is so fickle. I mean, he's

1333
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: all over the place. He's beyond frustrating um. And I've

1334
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: heard some things that are said behind closed doors and

1335
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: sent up meetings that I'm not too particularly fond of him.

1336
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: And and you know, some people like Ben Sass and

1337
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: others saying, but this, if we could get it done right,

1338
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: my biggest fear, Congressman Bratt is they're gonna pay too

1339
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 1: much money, and they're gonna just add too much. They're

1340
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: just gonna fund this thing to death, and we're all

1341
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 1: gonna go broke. Yeah. No, well, those are legit concerned

1342
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: and you know, I think it is our Chairman meadows

1343
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 1: Is said in the past, we got to see what

1344
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: it's what it does to the Obamacare regulations. But I

1345
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: just want to pivot back. This is still theoretical. We're

1346
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna wait to see what it looks like on paper,

1347
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 1: but over the last few days I got it posted

1348
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: on my website Dave Bratt dot com, Shawn if you

1349
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: want to check it out, your folks. But McConnell made

1350
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,879
Speaker 1: some remarks a few days ago about the UH tax

1351
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 1: reform package that I think will shock you. This is

1352
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:08,719
Speaker 1: from Roll Call UH. The reporters Jonathan says, well, Senate

1353
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: Republican Mitch McConnell has said a tax bill might slip

1354
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 1: into next year, not this ball next year. To the

1355
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: on eight team, given the complexity of writing something that

1356
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: can garner sixty votes, the president wants to move faster.

1357
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: So there's the there's the Senate Majority leader saying we

1358
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: may not do tax reform in the next few months.

1359
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: It may slip in the next year, and it may

1360
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: take sixty votes. Working with Schumer and Pelosi on the

1361
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: tax cut. I read the same Roll Call piece you

1362
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: did and the and you remember the headline of the pieces.

1363
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 1: The White House continues the pivot towards congressional Democrats right on. Yeah,

1364
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,440
Speaker 1: and it's it's further out today front page of Politico.

1365
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm on their highlighting this because no one in the

1366
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: country is following this and The mainstream media, of course,

1367
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: won't pick this up. They love a tax deal. With

1368
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: Pelosi and Schumer, nothing I'll get done. And so this

1369
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: is a you know, the base needs to unite nationwide

1370
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: to demand along with the President, that we get this

1371
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: tax reform. And the reason that's complicated is leadership is

1372
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: pouching it in terms of a budget resolution, so that

1373
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: confuses everybody. They think it's gonna be about budget issues,

1374
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: and you know, a couple hundred billion dollars and this,

1375
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: that and the other thing that has nothing to do

1376
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:26,879
Speaker 1: with it. We've already passed the appropriations bills. Budgeting proper

1377
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:30,680
Speaker 1: is already done and complete. So all this budget resolution

1378
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: has to do is the instructions on tax reform. And

1379
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: as Mark Meadows and I have been saying, we don't

1380
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: know anything that's in this tax package, of course you're

1381
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 1: yet right. We don't know if there's a sea court,

1382
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: what the rates are as court, is the individual forgotten

1383
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: man mac Home going to get a tax cut. We

1384
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: don't know any of it. And can we can we

1385
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: keep it simple? Here's what's simple is to me, seven

1386
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: brackets to three what the President ran on a middle

1387
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,759
Speaker 1: class tax cut, A corporate cut fifteen percent. I assume

1388
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be higher because that's the way Washington works.

1389
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 1: But I hope not much repatriation of the trillions from multinationals,

1390
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: and then get rid of the double taxation, of the

1391
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: death tax, and maybe a few other reforms and that's it.

1392
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: How about we do that and energy independence that we

1393
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 1: have a Golden's country will be energy independent in four years.

1394
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: So we really dig deep and create millions of high

1395
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 1: paying career jobs for Americans. Why don't we just do that? Well,

1396
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: that's too simple, sean to do. I mean, the truth

1397
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: is we should be doing that. But the special interest

1398
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: that are here in Washington, d C. Always have their

1399
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: their idea that they want to make sure that they support.

1400
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: And so that's what you're seeing is a whole lot

1401
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 1: of lack of specifics and a whole lot of special

1402
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: interest trying to make sure that that forgotten man and

1403
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: woman that that Dave Bratt was talking about remain forgotten.

1404
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: And we're not going to allow that to happen. You're

1405
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: not going to allow it to happen. But you know,

1406
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 1: getting back to healthcare on a little bit, I want

1407
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: to I want to just say this is if we

1408
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: give up on healthcare with only one try where we

1409
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: missed it by one vote in the Senate, a shame

1410
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: on us. We all need to go home. And uh,

1411
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: we've got to get this done. It was part of

1412
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 1: the promise that the president made to the people in

1413
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: November eight and before and uh and I'm uh kudos

1414
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 1: to those who are at least willing to try and

1415
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: the Senate, and I'm optimistic that we will at least

1416
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 1: have I'll put Lindsey Graham on the program. But you're

1417
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to broker some kind of peace with this

1418
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: guy because he won't come near us. Well, I'll do that.

1419
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:40,799
Speaker 1: I'll reach out this center try. I'll do that. John, Um, listen,

1420
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: you know you said something, Well that's just too simple,

1421
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: you know what what is? So why does it have

1422
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: to be so complicated? What? Listen? These are the things there.

1423
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: You know. There's a painting The Forgotten Man that a

1424
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: buddy of mine out in Salt Lake City is a

1425
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: great painter's names John McNaughton. I actually bought the painting

1426
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 1: and because that's what this election was about, and I

1427
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: was inspired by it because it has all our our

1428
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: former presidents I'll explain it to you. I'll send you

1429
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: a copy later. But all these things, if we have

1430
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: corporations with lower taxes, we have multinationals were patriated, we

1431
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: have middle class cuts, we get energy costs down and

1432
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 1: create jobs, and we're not dependent on foreign entities for

1433
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of our economy. This isn't complicated. Keep it simple, stupid.

1434
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: Why can't we keep it simple? Stupid? Washington? Well, I

1435
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 1: think you know, you know, on the Obamacare repeal, look

1436
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: up repeal in the dictionary and it means repeal. So

1437
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: they're simple, and we didn't get anywhere near it, and

1438
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: so the swamp is still in full control and we're

1439
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to contend with that. And so that's why

1440
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan I think wants to get this tax package through.

1441
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: He's had a passion for that for twenty years. But

1442
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell I don't think he may not have the

1443
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 1: votes to get it with Republican votes. And if that's

1444
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 1: the case, I wish you would at least be honest

1445
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: and say, look, I'm the leader I can't get That's

1446
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 1: why we're gonna have to pivot the Democrats because my

1447
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: fifty one guys don't have a backbone, and so your

1448
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: plan is perfectly, we want it simple, but it's a

1449
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: matter of because we don't have to have for we

1450
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: don't have to have the tax code overhaul completely. Let's

1451
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 1: get the tax cuts in so that means job creation

1452
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: will happen faster. And you know what McConnell's then saying

1453
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: is he may have not have accomplished a damn thing

1454
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: in a year. Yep, all right, stay right there. These

1455
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: are the This is why I only trust Freedom Caucus

1456
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: members right now. I'm I really have no faith in

1457
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 1: anybody else in Washington fighting to keep their promises. And

1458
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,759
Speaker 1: so many Republicans, as we learned during the healthcare issue,

1459
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: had no intention of repealing and replacing, and they just

1460
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: lied to us again and again. So holding their their

1461
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 1: feet to the fire and holding them accountables is now

1462
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 1: our job, all right, as we continue with the Chairman

1463
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: of the Freedom Caucus, Mark Meadows, and also Dave brad

1464
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,799
Speaker 1: another Freedom Caucus member, And we've got about fourteen weeks

1465
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: to accomplish a lot. One of the things I haven't

1466
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: figured out. If the Senate doesn't get healthcare done, if

1467
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: they don't fund the wall, which I don't know if

1468
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: there's any desire a passion on their side to actually

1469
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 1: do that either. And if they don't get done the

1470
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: tax plan and McConnell's going to try and push that

1471
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: off into next year. Do they not realize the anger

1472
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 1: and frustration of conservatives and the people that voted to

1473
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: put them in power, and in a year they ought

1474
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: to be accumulating extra House and Senate seats, they're probably

1475
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna lose them. Well, Sean, No, they don't realize it,

1476
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: and perhaps that that is the tragedy in all of this.

1477
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean, here we are talking about these things that

1478
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: you and I both know your listeners know that we

1479
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: have to deliver on, and yet we were sitting there

1480
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: and you know, facing the reality of nothing getting done.

1481
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: And I can tell you the people that I serve

1482
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 1: and have the privilege of serving, they're tired of it.

1483
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: They are tired of the talk and no action. And

1484
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 1: at this point, if we do not deliver on tax

1485
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 1: reform and healthcare repeal and replace, I can tell you

1486
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: there's going to be not only real consequences in a

1487
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: in a few months, but there's going to be lasting

1488
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:19,560
Speaker 1: consequences that they believe that we have abandoned this president's

1489
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: agenda and that we're not supporting uh duly elected president,

1490
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: and so we it's time that we get on board

1491
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: and accomplish something what the Congressman Bratt could have been

1492
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: done in that period of time. What is the likelihood?

1493
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 1: Because I actually asked new King Rich and he said,

1494
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 1: fifty fifty. Fifty fifty doesn't give me a whole lot

1495
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: of confidence. Yeah, I used to be ninety. I'm there,

1496
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be even more cynical than my leader,

1497
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows. Uh. I don't think it's that they don't

1498
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. I think the Senate fully well

1499
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: understands what they're doing, especially the leadership. They're protecting the

1500
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: swamp and you can see it. It's doling out four

1501
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 1: trillion bucks. Right. If you're in the majority party, you

1502
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 1: get to doll more than half. If you're a minority party,

1503
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: the deal is you get to go a lot a

1504
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: little less than half, and then they switch seats depending

1505
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: on who wins the election. The clearest place you can

1506
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: see that is in the budget in the Christmas time

1507
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 1: disaster every year. Now we're coming up to Christmas again. Uh,

1508
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a fiscal cliff. That kind of some

1509
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: of that drama going on again. Uh. And so you

1510
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,639
Speaker 1: see it in the budget battle, the debt feeling increase.

1511
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 1: What do we just do? Did the swamp pay and

1512
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: nickel in future fiscal responsibility? No, we just jacked up

1513
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: the debt ceiling with no thought of the future. And

1514
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: now finally you're seeing the real evidence come in. It's

1515
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 1: always been clear on the budget. But when it comes

1516
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 1: to taxes, Uh, they won't upset the apple cart with

1517
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: the cronies and the lawyers and the special interests in whatever.

1518
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: And so they know who they're serving. They're serving the

1519
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: guys who write the huge check and they're not serving

1520
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,759
Speaker 1: the forgotten man. And that's why you're a hero, Sean,

1521
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 1: because you represent the forgotten man every day on your show,

1522
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: and you've got passion you can tell. You get upset

1523
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 1: about the whole thing. And I think our president gets

1524
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: upset to that the forgotten man is not getting there due.

1525
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: And so we applaud you. By the way, I was

1526
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: gonna go out to North Carolina to hang out with

1527
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: Congressman Mark Meadows, Congressman Brat, but then he rescinded the

1528
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: invitation and worked, and word got back to me that

1529
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be seen with me like everybody

1530
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: else in Washington. Not not true. You you have a

1531
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 1: standing invitation three sixty five days. Standing invitation is not

1532
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: an invitation. Say all right, Hannity, come with me and

1533
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this that day. Come come with me.

1534
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 1: We'll do it. We'll set it up right away. But listen,

1535
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: it's better than Sean. And let me tell you the

1536
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 1: reason why I would disagree with the Speaker new Gingridge

1537
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: only on this issue. Do not underestimate this president. He

1538
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: will outwork Congress. If it's left up to Congress is

1539
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: less than fifty fifty. But do not underestimate this president.

1540
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: He will be on the phone, as you know, at

1541
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: midnight or at one o'clock in the morning getting this done.

1542
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: He is myopically focused on getting tax reform done. You know,

1543
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: if we say fourteen weeks, actually what we've got is

1544
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 1: about thirty eight legislative days left to get it done.

1545
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,719
Speaker 1: And that is not a lot. That's because you guys

1546
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 1: take off all the time. I mean, because does anything.

1547
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: I know you guys wanted to stay and work in August.

1548
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: You guys need Look all right, the other people need

1549
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: less work there, but I gotta roll alright. Congressman Dave

1550
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: Brett and the Chairman of the Freedom Called because Mark Meadows. Uh,

1551
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: two of the people I really appreciate an admire that

1552
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: are actually trying and fighting hard to keep their promises.

1553
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: Thank you both for being with us. And if you

1554
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: can work out a piece accord with me and Lindsey Graham,

1555
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 1: I'll listen to his idea on healthcare. If it's it's

1556
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna be better for the American people, we'll take a

1557
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll come back when we come back. Wide

Speaker 1: One seawan our toll free telephone number. You want to

1561
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: be a part of this extravaganza. Now, it's time Team

1562
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 1: minus fourteen we weeks and counting to save the country

1563
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: and to get things started in the right direction. I

1564
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: wonder if the Republicans are up for it. Uh. It's

1565
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:12,959
Speaker 1: getting interesting to watch these rumblings about the wand Brothers

1566
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: to get immunity for significant disturbing news over Debbie Wasserman Schultz,

1567
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 1: just when you thought it couldn't get any more bizarre,

1568
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: strange and weird. I mean this pack of standy I

1569
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: T staff or imran Awan and whether or not you

1570
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,600
Speaker 1: know why did he lay out Debbie Wasserman Schultz's computer

1571
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: in a place and leave a note for the was

1572
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,759
Speaker 1: it wasn't the special counsel was the uh? I guess

1573
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: the a G or an associate a G or somebody

1574
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 1: to prosecute Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Anyway, Now there are rumblings

1575
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: he may get immunity in exchange for testimony on Wasserman Schultz.

1576
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: And that was predicted by Congressman Trent Frank. So we'll

1577
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: watch that pretty closely, all right, as promise, Let's get

1578
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: to our busy telephones here if we can. Uh, let's say,

1579
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: how did Joe and Ella j Georgia, Joe, how you

1580
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: hold it up there in La Jake post irma, Sean,

1581
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: you are great, You're the best friend. Donald Trump passed

1582
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: in Washington, and I just want to say that I

1583
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: agree with Steven and I think mcconald and Ryan needs

1584
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: to go. And we've got a great center down here.

1585
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: David Perdue, I had a two hour lunch with him.

1586
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 1: He loves Donald Trump, and Trump asked him to leave

1587
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: the economic agenda. And I just think David Perdue is

1588
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 1: a superstar, and together with Trump, I think they would

1589
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 1: make the best economic team in history. And I'm very

1590
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: fired up, and I really appreciate you're sticking behind Trump

1591
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:31,480
Speaker 1: and doing the American people. Couldn't have a better taxpayer

1592
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: champion and the great Sean Hannity. I'm standing behind the

1593
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: principles that Reagan stood for. I haven't changed a bit

1594
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 1: the principles that Reagan stood for. Everything Trump is advocating

1595
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: seven brackets to three, all right, that's that's Reagan, that's

1596
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: eighty six. That's the tax reform plan, the corporate tax cuts,

1597
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: all right, that's just smart business to get people back

1598
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: to work. And we want Americans working. We don't want

1599
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: to forget the forgotten men and women of this country.

1600
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: We want every American have their shot at the American

1601
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: dree Uh. Same thing with repatriation. That means corporations will

1602
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: spend money on on factories, manufacturing centers to help get

1603
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: people back to work. That's all we want. Is it

1604
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: not hard? This is not that complicated? Energy independence millions

1605
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 1: of high paying career jobs, and we don't have to

1606
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: rely on countries that hit our guts. Joe, not that hard.

1607
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: I believe we get these tax cuts, will have the

1608
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: best economy in world history, and I believe that will

1609
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: read lead to Republican landslide wins for many years because

1610
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,559
Speaker 1: the people like you out there advocating for the Joe

1611
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: don't underestimate the weakness and stupidity of Republicans and getting

1612
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 1: things done. It's it's so new Republicans. We might have

1613
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 1: to get some new Republicans up there. Look, look at

1614
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,600
Speaker 1: the Alabama race is fascinating to me with Luke the

1615
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:50,719
Speaker 1: Strange is like thirty six percent, and and Roy Moore

1616
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:54,639
Speaker 1: is that and there's a big reason for the people

1617
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 1: of Alabama don't want the establishment. They want the President's agenda.

1618
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 1: And and Mitch McConnell's having a fit over that race,

1619
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: which makes me like more a lot more no pun intended.

1620
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: All right, thank you one, Sean. Let's say, hi, Oh,

1621
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 1: Lords is in Miami. We'd asked her to call back

1622
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 1: and she was in You know, that was really nice.

1623
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: You All of a suddenly the hurricanes headed right to

1624
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: your house and then it shifts directions and headed right

1625
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: to my little condo. And I'm like, all right, I'd

1626
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: rather take the hit than you. I feel better it

1627
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 1: hit me than you. Well, yes, a huge bullet. Scott

1628
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 1: speaks what happened in Miami, Sean, I'm happy to check in.

1629
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: I had to check in with my brother from a

1630
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: gutter mother. We made it. You made it. Were you worried?

1631
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,840
Speaker 1: Were you scared at this time? I really was because

1632
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: when they compared em to Andrew, that's when I said,

1633
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's horrible because it was double the side.

1634
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 1: So I actually did get scared this time. You know

1635
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:05,360
Speaker 1: you what, Jesus was on the wheel, baby, We maybe

1636
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: Q carry underwear. Jesus take the wheel. Look, the bottom

1637
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 1: line is this, and I said this before it came.

1638
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: You don't want to risk your life. Now. Did you

1639
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: stay or did you get out? No? We stayed, so

1640
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: you know so basically my advice is meaningless to you.

1641
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that I'm telling you to get the

1642
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 1: hell out of the way. That God, all right, Laura's

1643
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: we love you, God bless you. Glad You're okay. All right,

1644
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,839
Speaker 1: Let's go to Alic's a new Joysey. I we're watching

1645
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: the Menendez trial up there. It does not look good

1646
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: for him. Democrats are actually sounding like they're convinced there's

1647
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a guilty verdict in that case. Then they're saying, Wow,

1648
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: if we can just if he's guilty between now and

1649
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 1: in January, we can just wait till Chris Christie gets

1650
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: out of the way. Then he won't be able to

1651
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 1: make the appointment. And if a Democrat wins in the election,

1652
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 1: that means the Democrat will get to make the appointment. Well,

1653
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 1: it's only September. I usually hope that the wheels of justice,

1654
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, uh turn a little more quickly with Menendez,

1655
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: he's been he has been flying under the radar for

1656
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: too long, as corrupt as they come, and the people

1657
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: he hangs out with just thinks. It's the same thing

1658
01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 1: with Debbie Washerman Schultz. You know, the lady Duff protest

1659
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: too much of me, thinks, and she seems to be

1660
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: protecting the bad guys. I don't understand that she's crazy.

1661
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 1: You know. I live in Nassau County, highest tax county

1662
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 1: in the in the country, and I don't know if

1663
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 1: these people are gonna end up being found guilty there's

1664
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 1: more Republicans that have been indicted around in and around

1665
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 1: where I live, and it's all the same crap. It's

1666
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 1: all the same you know, what are they going to

1667
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: get for themselves? And it's all kickbacks and it's all

1668
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 1: bribery charges. And I'm like, guys, you know, what are

1669
01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:00,120
Speaker 1: you doing? What are you thinking? If they would just

1670
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 1: work so hard doing their jobs or doing a job,

1671
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 1: they be wildly successful. Instead, they they belly up to

1672
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 1: these corrupt people who promised them everything, and it's like,

1673
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's like Lucy and Charlie Brown. They pulled

1674
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: the football out from under him, and they keep doing

1675
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: the same thing over and over. They people say it's

1676
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 1: the definition of insanity. I think it's more like the

1677
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 1: definition of stupidity. It really is. I'm watching the Menendez

1678
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,680
Speaker 1: case and I'm like, wow, I mean, if all this

1679
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 1: testimony turns out to be true, I don't see how

1680
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: he's not convicted. And there's a part I just don't

1681
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: understand it. And and this is the problem I have

1682
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 1: with a lot of these guys in Washington. Look, if

1683
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: if money is their thing, then then go out and

1684
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 1: figure out ways to produce goods and services that people want,

1685
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 1: need a desire, work really really really hard, and you

1686
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,640
Speaker 1: can make money. Um, if you think we used to sorry,

1687
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 1: if you want to serve people, serve them, yeah, well

1688
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: you know it's like they went there to do good

1689
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:05,240
Speaker 1: and they seem to be doing really well. Instead they've

1690
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: become listen or when they leave, then they end up

1691
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: being lobbyists. And lobbyists get a lot of money because

1692
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: that means, hey, let me call my old friend Joe

1693
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 1: while harbor are three martini to launch and let's talk

1694
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: about you know, I really appreciate it. I've got this

1695
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 1: client and he needs this application put in the bill

1696
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: this provision. Would you do that for me, old Joe

1697
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 1: o'palalo buddy, old friend h Yeah. And they and they

1698
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:33,759
Speaker 1: really think they're their friends instead of using them for

1699
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, for their access. And now they're not using

1700
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 1: them that in that case, they're using them for a

1701
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: big fat steak dinner and you know, expensive wine, and

1702
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,640
Speaker 1: you know there's other ways to achieve those things. I

1703
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 1: actually think that what they want the most is to

1704
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: be called Congressman's congressman. Yes, you know, when Jesus came,

1705
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 1: if you read the Bible, what did he love the

1706
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: most the average person. You know, he was. It's a

1707
01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: it's such a great applicable story to modern day. And

1708
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's a carpenter, and he was a builder,

1709
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: and as his father was. And the people he had

1710
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: contempt for with the people that you know, snub their

1711
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: nose that everybody else and and had their beautiful garbs

1712
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: and in their hearts, he knew that they were hypocrites.

1713
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: And the people that I think are the greatest people

1714
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: in this country today are not politicians by any stretch.

1715
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 1: I I think the greatest people of these people, the

1716
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,640
Speaker 1: people all across this country. They get up every day

1717
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 1: and they slog through difficult schedules and they put on

1718
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 1: their work boots, so they put on their suit and

1719
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 1: tie whatever it is, it doesn't matter, and they go

1720
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 1: out and they put in there. They take care of

1721
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:42,560
Speaker 1: their kids, They feed him, they get them off to

1722
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: school twelve fourteen sixteen hours. They come home, they cook dinner,

1723
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 1: and they get their kids to bed. They try and

1724
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 1: help them with a little homework. And it's a grind.

1725
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: And they're trying to get a decent house in a

1726
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 1: nice neighborhood and a good car. And some of the

1727
01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:00,679
Speaker 1: extras in life and and government screws him everywhere but sideways.

1728
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 1: Those are the people that built this country. You know, Obama,

1729
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 1: you didn't build that. Yeah, most of those people did

1730
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 1: build everything. Yeah, they did it. So anyway, who went

1731
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:13,679
Speaker 1: to Bethlehem to pay taxes? Not because they were on vacation. Yeah,

Speaker 1: to try to demigrate whole? I am? But anyway, I'm

1742
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:42,800

1743
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 1: to say to me? To me, the president is about

1744
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,519
Speaker 1: to devastate this country. He's an idiot. First of all.

1745
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm shocked because I'm listening all these people

1746
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 1: stay the tax the task because then to go for

1747
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: the rich and is only for the rich? And if

1748
01:29:57,920 --> 01:29:59,600
Speaker 1: you and and the fact that we're not putting no

1749
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,600
Speaker 1: stiffy laces on this repatriation of money, nor are we

1750
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:04,920

Speaker 1: ask you a question. What do you do for a living?

1753
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 1: Let me let me say this, No, no, no, because

1754
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 1: you're not because I got your point. You're gonna repeat yourself,

1755
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 1: because I understand you got your whole point. You say

1756
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:16,639
Speaker 1: it's not good, it's only gonna be for the rich,

1757
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna work. All right, What else do

1758
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:21,040
Speaker 1: you want to say myself? I'm not repeating myself. Are

1759
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 1: we gonna put a stipulation, say you repatriate, you gotta

1760
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 1: start schools occasional school Are we gonna say you gotta

1761
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 1: hire a certain amount of Americans? Are we gonna say,

1762
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 1: if you repatriate, you've got to show it's actively that

1763
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna put this money. But no, if we're gonna

1764
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: do a tax cause, are we gonna say you can't

1765
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:39,759
Speaker 1: outsource no more? Are we're gonna say you can't hide illegal, sean,

1766
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 1: all we do is given free money with no so

1767
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 1: if nothing, I got your whole point. Let me ask

1768
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:45,880
Speaker 1: you a question. What do you do for a living?

1769
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:48,640
Speaker 1: What I do for a living. I'm a software developer,

1770
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 1: and right now I don't want to go specific into

1771
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 1: what I do, so I don't want to. You're gonna

1772
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 1: keep it super all right. So you are, you're a developer, right.

1773
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: Did you ever get a job in your life from

1774
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 1: a poor personal? Yeah? I've made some jobs myself. All right,

1775
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:04,679
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, I'm asking did any poor person

1776
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 1: ever hire you? Did a poor person ever hire you? No?

1777
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:12,080
Speaker 1: Because here's the problem. Number one, You're not explaining accurately

1778
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:15,600
Speaker 1: what the Trump tax plan is. You're not explaining historically

1779
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 1: how tax cuts. Kennedy did it and Reagan did it.

1780
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:22,719
Speaker 1: Reagan dropped the top marginal rates, yeah, for the wealthy

1781
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 1: and for corporation seven. In the course of his presidency,

1782
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:31,559
Speaker 1: revenues to the government doubled, and he created twenty million

1783
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 1: new jobs in the course of eight years. Um, That

1784
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 1: to me is helping those people that I talk about

1785
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 1: all the time. The people in poverty on food stamps

1786
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 1: are not in the labor force. That's who I want

1787
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: to help. That's that's those are the Americans that need

1788
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 1: government working for them. Now. One of the ways we're

1789
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 1: going to stimulate the economy is, yeah, middle class is

1790
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 1: always screwed and squeezed. Okay, they get a tax cut,

1791
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 1: you go from seven brackets to three. Then you have

1792
01:31:57,200 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: corporations get one of the lowest tax cuts in the

1793
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 1: industrialized world from one of the highest. What you're not

1794
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:06,240
Speaker 1: understanding is corporations don't pay taxes. They pass the cost

1795
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:09,639
Speaker 1: on the consumers, and their job is to make a profit.

1796
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 1: And they're not gonna take taxes uh and and absorb

1797
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: the taxation on their bottom line. It's not gonna happen.

1798
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:19,720
Speaker 1: It never has, never will. As far as repatriation, you're

1799
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:22,439
Speaker 1: making an assumption that's false, that they're gonna bring the

1800
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 1: money into the country at a low rate and they're

1801
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:26,600
Speaker 1: gonna park it and they're gonna they're gonna put it

1802
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 1: in a bank account. That's not how investors work. That's

1803
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: not how these multinational corporations work. They're gonna take the

1804
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 1: money in it at a good rate. They want to

1805
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 1: invest in America, but they can't bring the money in

1806
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 1: or else they're gonna lose forty of it, But if

1807
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,639
Speaker 1: they lose ten or seven percent, well that's trillions of dollars.

1808
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:46,800
Speaker 1: Number one, it's a huge, huge increase in revenues to

1809
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 1: the government. And then secondly, they're gonna start looking to

1810
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:54,839
Speaker 1: build factories, corporations, manufacturing centers, and businesses here in America.

1811
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:57,599
Speaker 1: And that's gonna put the people in poverty on food

1812
01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 1: stamps out of the labor force. They can't buy a

1813
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: house in a better position than they've ever been. So

1814
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 1: you can you can sit there, you can detigrate, you

1815
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 1: can complain, but you're not understanding any history of tax

1816
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 1: cuts when when Kennedy did it, it ended up in

1817
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 1: an economic boom, same thing with Reagan. This plan, if

1818
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:21,759
Speaker 1: you couple in a commitment to energy independence, I'm telling

1819
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:25,639
Speaker 1: you there are millions and millions of high paying, career,

1820
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 1: lifetime jobs available for Americans and natural gas and oil

1821
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 1: and America weaning itself off of any imported energy the

1822
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:36,599
Speaker 1: lifeblood of our economy. So that's what I want to do.

1823
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: You know, it's not for me. It's not for I

1824
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,519
Speaker 1: have no idea, haven't looked, don't really care to be honest,

1825
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 1: how it impacts me. It's not about me, but it's

1826
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: about our country. And this country is supposed to be

1827
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,840
Speaker 1: the country where Americans can dream and their dreams can

1828
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 1: come true and you can dream big and they're gonna

1829
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: be bigger dreams and you're gonna have bigger success and

1830
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 1: you can climb the ladder to success. And I would

1831
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 1: think as a liberal that maybe you want that to

1832
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,960
Speaker 1: happen new to those people that are left behind. Maybe

1833
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 1: you're successful, that's great, you know, you have two jobs.

1834
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:09,400
Speaker 1: Good for you, But it's it's pretty tough out there

1835
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:11,080
Speaker 1: for most of the people I know. And if you've

1836
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 1: got eleven million illegal immigrants, well then it's tough there too,

1837
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 1: because they're competing at a lower rate and driving down

1838
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:19,800
Speaker 1: wages and taking jobs away from Americans. And not only that,

1839
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:23,280
Speaker 1: we have the the security risks of having open borders.

1840
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna wrap things up with today. Letting
