<v Speaker 1>to six or eight hundred nine four one sewn. That's

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>because I gave the number to my radio broadcast before.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I've done that before on this broadcast, and I'm not

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it again. So anyways, one eight hundred nine

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>four one seven three to six or eight hundred nine

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>one sean. You could ask Giuliani or me, either one

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>of us or both of us at the same time.

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Questions of the day. We've got a lot to talk about. Obviously,

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of you are gonna want to talk to

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>us about what is happening with regard to the Russia

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>probe we are also talking about and this is UH important.

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>UH that's an important issue also. But UH, Realdy and

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I have both been working for over a year trying

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to secure the release of an American pastor UH named

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Brunson who's was in jail for nineteen months in Turkey.

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>He's now at a house arrest. We're close to getting

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a resolution in that case. The President, Rudy, you and

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I both know it's been working NonStop on this. We've

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>been and we're working on this for a long time.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>But we're getting close. I mean, we're getting there. But

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Turkey is taking a real hit financially right now, especially today,

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.239
<v Speaker 1>Turkey is taking a real hit financially. Their their economy

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.679
<v Speaker 1>is in trouble. It reminds me to some extent of

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>what's happening in Iran with the sanctions that have been

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>placed there that just sort of just doubles down on

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>their economic problems to start with. And I think people

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>are starting to realize what happens when America imposes sanctions

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden. Other countries don't want to trade

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>with you because they need the American banks that rely

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>on the American banks. America could then impose sanctions on

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>them for doing it. And I think it's a this

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>idea that we need all these other countries to agree

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>with us on sanctions. We drive, we drive the world economy. Well,

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I know it Underran on the Iran issue. You've been

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>very involved, and of course I had a We had

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>another American that was held hostage by the Iranians, got

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>out a couple of years back, uh, and again sanctioned.

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>The president is imposed UH. Finally, you know, they've been

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of administrations. They've been saying crippling SA sanctions,

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>but now they actually did it. You know, what kind

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>of impact do you think is gonna have An Iran

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>have a tremendous impact without the sanctions, based on just

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 1>their own internal economic problems. They've had UH demonstrations and

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>protests in over a hundred forty two cities starting in January.

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>They're very very well orchestrated. People have been arrested and killed,

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>but they still go on. They're getting worse, the economic

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>problems get worse. There has a chance, I don't want

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to overstate it, but there has a chance that this

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>regime could be in trouble. I think that's right. And

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>in Turkey right now, with their following economy, I think

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>they've got to make some tough decisions, and one of

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>them is not so tough. Let the Americans, not just

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>this pastor. Let the Americans that you're holding hostage Turkey,

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>let them go back to the United States. Not that complicated.

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I understand this is a lot of political issues, and

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of it, but it's you're looking like

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 1>hostage situations. Having said all of that, there's also some

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 1>news on the domestic front you may have been felt

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>and that the mayor and I have been involved in,

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and that isn't our representation of the president. And of

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>course you heard that. There was a response that we

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 1>put together with our team. We've got a great team

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:17.919
<v Speaker 1>of lawyers involving a request from the Special Counsel to

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>interview the President of the United States. I'm sure you're

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna have some calls and comments about that. We have

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>had some comments about that. To say the least, that

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>we've been talking about that. We're not going to tell

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you what we have said, even though really wanted to

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the other day a reporter at me, he did say

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>that actually that reporter. He said to this particular reporter,

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 1>I I wouldn't mind saying something, but Jay would be

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>really angry if I did. But we will tell you this. Look,

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>this is a process that you're we're going through right now,

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and uh, there's a lot that go in that goes

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 1>into it. I think the Constitution is clear that there's

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>not a right to interview the president under Article two.

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the Supreme Court would come to that conclusion.

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it also reigns as serious issues not just

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>for this president, but for future presidencies and especially Rudy.

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>With the nature and scope of the cooperation that this

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>White House has given to the investigators, it's it's unprecedented,

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 1>especially in light of the irregularities. Will go through the

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>irregularities in a minute, but but this has been unprecedented cooperation.

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>It has it's been unprecedented cooperation. So the end what

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>that yields is, under any set of circumstances, the court

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>is going to require they make a showing for why

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>they need the information. Well, they already have it. They

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>already have all the information plus more. They would have

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>no ability to show uh need for this information. For example,

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>they have his explanations. He's given them on every television,

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>on radio, on tweets, on Remember they were arguing one

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>of the reports was obstruction by tweet. Yeah, I mean

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think about that for a moment. Obstruction by tweet,

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how can okay? So well, I'm gonna give

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.559
<v Speaker 1>you a great example from Greg Jared's book. Greg Jared

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>points out that Barack Obama during the sixteen election pronounced

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton innocent, right, He said, he said, she may

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>have been careless, but she didn't affect national security. Well,

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>several weeks later, that's exactly what Comy wrote. She may

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>have been careless, but she didn't affect national security. So

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you could say he obstructed that investigation, except for the

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>fact that he was doing the same thing that our

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>president does accept on different set of circumstances. He was

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>giving his opinion, which is protected by the way by

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the Person Amendment to the United States Constitution, protected by

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>his authorities under Article two of the United States Constitution.

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>After all, he's the president of the United States, and

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the President of the United States gets to not only

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a pine, but to take action. And the idea that

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you would question the president about the motives of why

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>he terminated a A subordinate raises, as I said, really serious,

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>uh constitutional issues. Having said that, we have been and

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>continue to maintain a very cooperative attitude. But I will

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>tell you about that cooperation. We draw lines and uh

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>we rejected the proposal that came out from the Special Counsel.

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>In this last round, we came back with another proposal.

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens on that. But you can be cooperative,

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you could be professional without you don't have to be disagreeable.

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>But if you look at the scope and nature of

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>this inquiry, the way it started, the corruption at the outset,

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>we've joined Later in the broadcast, we've got you know,

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>John Solomon coming up a great story in the Hill

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>about Bruce Or the number four. The Justice Department is

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>in conversations with Chris Steele, who's working with Fusion GPS

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to put together this dossier, and the president just happens

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.199
<v Speaker 1>to be Nelly Or. Bruce Or's wife is also working

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>for Fusion GPS and just happens to be assigned Mayor

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to to working with Christopher Steele on the dossier, which

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>then James Coby takes and reviews with the then president

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 1>elect in Trump Tower in January. You got it? Whatever

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that means. By the way, uh, you know that that's

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>another story the crime of collusion, which, of course, as

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I said, the rural regulation and law on that when

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm still trying to figure out I think they're still

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure that out as well. But having said

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 1>all of that, you you look at the irregularities and

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>this investigation and the way it's gone on we have.

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>How about the fact that the special Council is appointed

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>because James Comey decides to leak a memo of a

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.719
<v Speaker 1>conversation he had with the President of the United States purportedly,

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and he leaks this memo to get a special counsel

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and he says that and it's moren't testimony. Why did

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>he think he why did he think it would yield

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a special counsel and independent council? I mean, that's a

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.439
<v Speaker 1>great question. Why would why would the Justice Department certainly

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't conflicted from you can argue whether whether Sessions was,

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>but the Justice Department wasn't conflicted. How did he know

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>that Rosenstein would use that as the basis for an

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>independent council? Did they have a conversation about it? Did

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:55.199
<v Speaker 1>they talk about it? Um, I don't know. My suspicious

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>nature tells me he must have known something that hasn't

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>been revealed yet. Well, look, we're getting in information every

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>single day. I mean, there's no information coming forward on this.

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean literally every single day. I mean, it's not

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it seems like there's a new aspect of this that

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.079
<v Speaker 1>you you can't even believe, and then then it happens.

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it doesn't even get into the issues of

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the Fieser warr and what that was based upon. And

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>as I said, how would you like to be that judge?

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean in the Fiser case talk about, you know,

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>information that isn't correct purportedly, and that's what we're hearing

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 1>from Congress, of course. And then you and I take

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>it another step on this, and I think this is

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.199
<v Speaker 1>important for everybody to understand, is we have a job

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>to do, which is to give our client the appropriate advice.

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>What do we think he should do in light of

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>all of the issues and in light of the Constitution.

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>And that is a that is a highest honor that

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 1>any lawyer could have representing a president and defending the Constitution.

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's why we have to go through a deliberative process. Yeah,

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>we can't just shoot from the hip we've got we

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>have to be able to have thought it out. We

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>have to also be able to answer his questions. And

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, he takes us very seriously. He does have

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>a desire to doesn't have a desire to that he's innocent,

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>which he is. But he also understands his role as

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 1>president and that he just can't throw aside prerogatives of

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the presidency. Yeah, and this also impacts I mean, let's

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 1>be realistic here, this will impact not just this president.

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>The decision we recommend to the president not only impacts

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>this president, but it becomes a precedent then for other presidencies. Interesting, Lewis,

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 1>we're doing the analysis and you look at how how

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>witnesses have cooperated in this case unprecedented. You look at

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>information that's gone over to the Special Council, unprecedented, and

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>then you look at what had presidents done, I mean

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 1>sometimes have been written questions. That's still an interview. Uh,

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>so that maybe one way this can go. Sometimes it's

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>combinations thereof we'll see. I mean, you know, as we're

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to and I think this is something we

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>need to say. We're not going to disclose what we

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 1>have come back to the Special Council with. I don't

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 1>think we've heard the end of this. There's a lot

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of speculation out there, but we're gonna make the right

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>advice to our client. There will be no perjury trip.

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I've said that, You've said down on air, there's no

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 1>perjury trap here. We're not because we're not gonna allow it. No, no, no,

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's so obviously one of the things they're

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to do that. Um, it's it's not easy, but

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>we can we can certainly protect against that. And I

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 1>think that's one of the things that I don't want

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about the matters for trial,

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>but I mean I will say this. You know we

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>can do it after say a perjury trap and in

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>other words, here you've got you've got one witness that

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>says this is what happened, and then you've got another

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 1>witnesses that recalls, well, no, that's not how I recall

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it. It It happened this way, and it's does then someone

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.079
<v Speaker 1>right up report and say, well we believe this one,

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 1>we don't believe that one. Thus it's perjury. So this

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.719
<v Speaker 1>is the problem with with just walking anyone in I mean,

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.560
<v Speaker 1>in any case and with no underlying crime. I mean again,

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>if Flynn is the example, uh, no crime. If it

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>had been said President says, go easy on him, which

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the President says he didn't say. He said, he didn't

0:12:55.480 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>say stop it, don't do it. Uh So no crime. However,

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it didn't take place, according to the President. According to Comey,

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.560
<v Speaker 1>it did. Now worse, if it did, it wouldn't have mattered.

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 1>But then you but you're right. If there's two different

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.679
<v Speaker 1>recollections of a meeting, now do you set set a

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>perjury situate? Now we have plenty we have plenty of it

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>it happen, We got plenty of information to impeach him with,

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 1>including the fact that he testified on DeRos. By the way,

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.719
<v Speaker 1>when we say impeach him with, we mean impeach the

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>impeach the Willy James call me there. I just want

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to I don't want anybody to clip that two seconds.

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, I know it's hard to believe that people

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>do that. You just NM would never do that, None

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>of them would. Nobody will clip just a sentence and

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>then remove the other thing. But having said that, no,

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you're right, I mean that's part of the process that

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get into. All right, So we're gonna take

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>we're having a good time. By the way, you can

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.240

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to a call and I need to say

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 1>something though. I had the privilege today to go to

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the Statue of Liberty and go by Ellis Island with

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>my grandchildren, and I am the grandson of a Russian

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>immigrant to the United States. My grandfather was a group

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>peddler in Brooklyn, New York, and his grandson me. I

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 1>get to argue cases at the Supreme Court in the

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>United States and represent a president. And I had my

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>my my grandson was with me, and I had three

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 1>of my grandchildren, and my I got to tell my grandson,

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I said, now I'm the Paul Paul right now. So

0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 1>I said, you know, my Papa, you're great, great. All

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Paul came right through that building at Ellis Island in

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>fourteen to come to the greatest country in the world,

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the United States of American, and his eyes lit up.

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, it is a great country. And you

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>think about those things, and I know you're so. I

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>have a very very good friend, Elliott, who came to

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 1>America when he was four or five, escaping the Holocaust,

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and he will tell you he has amnesia. Uh, of course,

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>he's only three or four years old about anything before

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the following thing. As he's coming through the Verrazano Narrows,

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the first thing he remembers his seeing a statue of liberty.

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>And when he tells you that story, Mariah, right, we

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>he uh, he started crying. Yeah, well it's still time today.

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's sixties, seventy years later, and it started

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>crying to I mean, I think about that. When I

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>argue cases at the Spreme Court, they start him the

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>same way, God Save the United States. The Honorable Court.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>They call a case number, They call a case number,

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and then they say, Mr Secular will now hear from you.

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.280

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, Hey, I just don't know. And I'm just

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I just continued on the fact that we know criminal

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 1>activity uh and and speaking in regards to Clinton, we

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.399
<v Speaker 1>have proof for that. And why are we not pursuing that?

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Why is not a g sessions pursuing those criminal acts?

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 1>You got a little rain going on there, Pete, Peter

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>sounds like either I'm a drummer. You you're either keeping

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a really steady beat, or you're you got or you

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.320
<v Speaker 1>get right or a click or or your you got

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>your wipers on? Just one of the two. I suspect

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>that your wipers. But anyways, you ask a good question.

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You ask a good question. So what about So supposedly

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>there's an investigation mayor going on by the U. S.

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Attorney's Office and UTAH that was appointed to look at

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.959
<v Speaker 1>all of those issues related to um UH Secretary Clinton.

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 1>That's supposed to be ongoing, and you wouldn't necessarily know

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in that investing. You did investigations like that,

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.720
<v Speaker 1>so the public wouldn't know as it's going on. Well,

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I mean that should be the case. But

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the reality is this is such a public thing. If

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.439
<v Speaker 1>this was a very active investigation, we would know it.

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's a source of great frustration that none of

0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:15.479
<v Speaker 1>these things are being pursued with the enthusiasm that they

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 1>should be pursued. All the things that that Greg Jarrett

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>was talking about before John Solomon, these are things that

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 1>normally a federal prosecutor jumps on and um here here here,

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>they've been investigating for a year and a half, two

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 1>years to find a crime to investigate, and they haven't

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>found it yet. And here we have a bunch of

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 1>alleged crimes and they're not investigating the row violating the

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:45.199
<v Speaker 1>Federal Records Act, violating the Privacy Act, obstructing, obstructing justice, paying,

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 1>paying a foreign national to compile a false dossier on

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 1>on on Donald Trump, uh, putting it in as a

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 1>basis for a fiser wire, knowing that that that issued

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 1>those that's because they think first couple of times they

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get the Fisher warrant, they could get the I

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.439
<v Speaker 1>think the judge should refer the whole thing for criminal prosecution.

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that fire under them. One of the things I've wondered,

0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, as you look through all of this, and

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 1>you look at and and I do think it's important

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to understand the context and the nature of what's taken

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:21.159
<v Speaker 1>place here. The the investigation from its inception was fraught

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 1>with conflict and corruption. I mean, and and every day

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.360
<v Speaker 1>it's something new. And these are not facts, and let's

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 1>talk about facts that are not in dispute. It is

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.919
<v Speaker 1>not in dispute that Christopher Steele was the primary author

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 1>with with Fusion GPS of the dossier, which James Commy

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>said was slicious and unverified. We know that the fact,

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>so Christopher Steele. That's a fact. We know that the

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 1>FBI ultimately fired Christopher Steele because he was leaking. Yet

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, we also know as fact undisputed

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that Bruce Or, the number four the Justice Department at

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the time, wife Nellie Or, worked for Fusion GPS and

0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:02.080
<v Speaker 1>was assigned to work with Christopher Steele on the dossier.

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>This is the number four the Justice Department spouse working

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 1>for Christopher with a Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele. Christopher

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Steele gets piled fired because of leaking, which seems to

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.360
<v Speaker 1>be the issue over there, and then you have conversations

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>still going on with Bruce or and trying to get

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 1>him back in Bruce Or, by the way, still at

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the United States Department of Justice. Interesting all of this,

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and I even brought up the stock and page situation. Oh,

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 1>this is begging for an investigation, a serious one, a

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:32.679
<v Speaker 1>grand jury investigation. Also, if Rosenstein is appointing special council,

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 1>independent council uh as he did, basically being manipulated by Comey,

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.120
<v Speaker 1>why the heck not a point one here? Yeah? Why?

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought about that too. Yeah, I raised that issue.

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're taking your calls eight hundred six or

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred nine f one Seawan. I'm Jay Secular here

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 1>with Rudy Giuliani Julian Inseculo hosting the Shawan Hennedy showed.

0:21:55.560 --> 0:22:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Staten Island, Scott, you're on there, Hey, Jay,

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:04.640
<v Speaker 1>fan of yours? Hello, Mr Mayor, big fan of yours.

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 1>How are you? And I'm a fan of Staaten Island?

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 1>You know that there you go? Oh yeah, well, if

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you trust me, we're a huge fan of yours too.

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>What's what's going on? Guys? But I I really I'm

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.640
<v Speaker 1>really concerned. What's going on. You know, you have all

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>these ultra left wingers out there, and uh, I just

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 1>got to know that if, if this is over, that

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys are really going to drop the hammer on

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>some of these people. I mean, Colly, uh, mulla um,

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>all these other people you know, and now you have

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Diane Feinstein out there employing a Chinese spy for the

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 1>last twenty years. Uh, you have all these only two decades, right,

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's all. I mean, you know, it wasn't that long.

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean you also have these people. The way they're

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>speaking about the president and his family. I've never heard

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.879
<v Speaker 1>anything like it in my life. And they're telling lies

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and lies and lies. But please tell me that after

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.360
<v Speaker 1>this garbage is done. I mean, obviously you can't tell me.

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Obviously I understand, but people are going to get in

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.719
<v Speaker 1>trouble for this. Well. Look, I mean I have some

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:12.640
<v Speaker 1>experience with the government officials that have not done appropriate conduct,

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and that was Lois Learner. Uh, and the targeting that

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 1>she engaged in at the I R S. I actually

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:20.879
<v Speaker 1>represented those conservative groups that challenged the I R S

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 1>on this. Ultimately, Lois Lerner took the fifth amenmetry the

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>right to do it rather than testifying, although she took

0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 1>it in a kind of an unusual way. Uh. She

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 1>lost her position, did not lose her pension. She was

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:36.120
<v Speaker 1>not criminally prosecuted, and we as private lawyers, can't initiate,

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>We can't bring a criminal case. That's what the government

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:42.439
<v Speaker 1>UH does in that case, though it did cause reform

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 1>within the Internal Revenue Service, at least within the nonprofit world. Now, Rudy,

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you involved in this because of I'll use the nine

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:52.639
<v Speaker 1>eleven example. We obviously had gaps and flaws in our

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:56.679
<v Speaker 1>intelligence gathering. You're part of the team that kind of

0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 1>reput it all back together again. So what does happen

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.439
<v Speaker 1>when you look at you got this, you know, fundamental

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 1>problem within an agency here, the FBI, d O J.

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:07.400
<v Speaker 1>What do you do well? I think if I were

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the Attorney General, I would appoint an independent council and

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I'd appoint the independent Council of the two purposes purpose

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>number one to appropriately prosecute the people who violated these

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:24.919
<v Speaker 1>uh these laws, UH call me. Clearly, UH leaked a

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:28.919
<v Speaker 1>document that he wasn't supposed to leak, clear violation of

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the law. He committed perjury about whether he was obstructed

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 1>or not he felt he was obstructed. I could go

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 1>on and on. So I'd have those things that I

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:41.080
<v Speaker 1>destruct thing, the dossier, the paying for it, the lying

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to the court, all that should be investigated. But I'd

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>also have the Independent Council do a report on how

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to clean this up so it doesn't happen in the future.

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what happened after Watergate. I I joined the Justice

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Department and I was the associate Deputy Attorney General for

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Judge Harold Tyler when he was the deputed ed Levy,

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 1>and we produced a document of how to reform the

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department. So it included rules like, um, you can't

0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 1>communicate with the White House except through the White House

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Council's office. The Just Department just can't call up the

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:19.360
<v Speaker 1>White House and discuss a criminal case. Uh. We are

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 1>in need of that kind of straightening out of the

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Just Department. Now. You know, you know how frustrated the

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:29.119
<v Speaker 1>President is but understandably about the state of the Justice.

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.679
<v Speaker 1>What he says, my Justice Department is doing this. My

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Just Department is doing that. It needs thoroughgoing reform the

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 1>way ed Levy reformed it after Watergate, because it was

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 1>completely infected by Obama let's go ahead and take another call,

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and I think let's go to Las Vegas and Larry. Larry,

0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, you're on the Sean Hannity Show. Yes, gentlemen,

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you for taking my call. He appreciate it. I'm

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a retired law enforcement officer. I practiced my profession in

0:25:55.600 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Illinois and Nevada. Very clear, it is very clear to me, sir,

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm very familiar with all the patronage system works,

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 1>and I know the mayor should be very familiar with

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:10.639
<v Speaker 1>this and running a big city. Obama protected Hillary and

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 1>we know that there's things that even mentioned in Kevin

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Klein's book Guilty as Sin, where Comey was called in.

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:21.120
<v Speaker 1>So these are all directives given by the past president

0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama, and everything that's come out um revealed through

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Fox News and other entities and a lot of books,

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 1>is very clear Obama should be charged. The Department of

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Justice is being lack in its responsibility right now to

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 1>which they should be looking and investigating and charging Barack

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Obama would abusive power. Well, I think I don't want

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:46.639
<v Speaker 1>to jump. I don't think you could. I would, I

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 1>would agree with you. It is crying out for an investigation. Uh.

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:53.439
<v Speaker 1>There are a couple others where it is clear they

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 1>violated the law. Comy clear, Uh, the dossier clear, the

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>people who pay for that dossier, and then the people

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>who included it in the Fiser application maybe the worst

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>of all. But whether how much did the president know

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:11.679
<v Speaker 1>and when did he know it? And that's a good question.

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:14.479
<v Speaker 1>It is worthy of investigation. But I think in fairness

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>we yeah, I'm shouldn't jump to a conclusion. Yeah, you know, look,

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I think here's the problem. That's this idea that you know,

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.879
<v Speaker 1>you immediately go to an investigation of of of a

0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 1>former president or a president. I think, listen, we're all

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that for Rudy and certainly for me and

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Rudy that the fact is we're dealing with one right now. Uh,

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and these things should not be entered into lightly. And

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I think you've got to understand that's part of the

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 1>process that we're going through in dealing with representation of

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the president and why this is, you know, why we're

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:46.240
<v Speaker 1>in this discussions that we've had with UH, with the

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Special Counsel's Office and continue to have regarding where this ends.

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:52.640
<v Speaker 1>We want this to be over with soon. We think

0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the country deserves it to be over with soon. Our

0:27:54.960 --> 0:27:57.399
<v Speaker 1>position is clear that we do not think there's been

0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:00.080
<v Speaker 1>any violation of any law, rules or regulations. But we

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:02.120
<v Speaker 1>want to see this end. And this has been unprecedented

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:05.679
<v Speaker 1>cooperation at the highest levels, and I'm just gonna leave

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:09.200
<v Speaker 1>it at that. I'm gonna take another call though, because uh,

0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 1>someone is calling about a situation that Mayor I think

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 1>really you could address, and that's Amy from Colorado and

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:18.680
<v Speaker 1>she's concerned about Chicago. Amy. Go ahead, you're on the show. Hi, gentlemen.

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>It is to honor to speak to both of you. Um,

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:24.440
<v Speaker 1>my question is for you, Mr Mayor. I have a

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 1>brother that listen in Chicago. Of course I'm concerned about

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the situation there. Um, you know all the dusts over

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the past week and they just don't seem to have

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 1>their act together. What recommendations do you have to clean

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>that citty up? Well, let's let's just remind people they

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>were seventy two people shot over last weekend. Seventy two

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 1>people in the weekend of the last weekend. Not a

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 1>single person as if yesterday arrested, which is not unusual.

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 1>They don't clear all but about one out of twenty shootings,

0:28:55.120 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 1>which is totally impossible to understand, and the mayor. The

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 1>mayor has finding all kinds of excuses other than let's reform.

0:29:05.600 --> 0:29:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's reform the situation and handle it. What would you do?

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I would? I would, I would immediately that immediately appoint

0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a police commissioner who was going to put in a

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 1>CompStat system that really works, which means measuring crime. It

0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:27.280
<v Speaker 1>was invented. CompStat was invented by me, Bill Bratton, Jack Maple.

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 1>One of the people who clearly knows it well is

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Gary McCarthy who's running for mayor of Chicago. He ran

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 1>the system for us for four or five years. UM,

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get involved in the politics that

0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a computer, computer based system. It very intricate. It

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 1>measures crime every day, and then it pin maps. It

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.400
<v Speaker 1>puts on a map, tells you whether crimes are being committed,

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 1>shows you where your gaps are. And then every day

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you readjust your policing to try to have the police

0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in the right place at the right time. And then

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 1>every week you have a step meeting which in which

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you go about through about two or three hours of

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 1>way you did it right, way you did it wrong?

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Who needs resources. What could be? What is? Why would

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>they not doing The city of New York has been

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>doing that since the first day of crime is down

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:25.560
<v Speaker 1>seventy to murders down about Chicago? Why are they doing

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 1>about three times the murders of New York? Why not

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>do it? Why would they do it? Why would Ram

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Emanuel do it? You have to ask Ram Emanuel. I

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 1>mean he's fiddling while Chicago burns. Uh. Ram Emanuel is

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>not a law enforcement guy. He doesn't understand that his

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:41.880
<v Speaker 1>police department doesn't do a damn thing for him because

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 1>he turns his back on him. Part of this is

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 1>also your police department has to be willing to go

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the extra mile for you. Because you go the extra

0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 1>mile for them, you constantly you're constantly blaming them for things.

0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 1>You're making them worried about doing their jobs. They're just

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 1>not going to do their jobs. If they're ordinary cop,

0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the hero cop will do it anyway? Is it part?

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's part a policing issue. Part is a structural issue.

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:07.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a policing issue, it's a moral issue. It's a

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a look the communities want it now. I mean

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 1>he's he's having terrible problems. Plus he made some comment

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 1>on it's only in certain neighborhoods. You've done right, m

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 1>It's in certain neighborhoods, in the poor neighborhoods. It's in

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the black neighborhoods, and they are the people who are

0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 1>being slaughtered and you're not doing a damn thing about it.

0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're with the Rudy Giuliani, Giuliani and Seculo

<v Speaker 1>I think we've clearly demonstrated and will demonstrate on the

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 1>course of this show that there's a lot of questions

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>about this investigation. It surely looks like an illegitimate investigation.

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 1>President United States said this a long time back, that

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a witch hunt, and uh, you can describe in

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ways a hoax like uh, like uh

0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Greg's book. But you look at the questions that keep

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.719

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>going on, obviously, but there's one thing that, um, I

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>have a a steak in, I will say, and that is,

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of course I was taking most of the news these days.

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I was making a joke the other day that, uh,

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:16.080
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you're making the news, sometimes you're in the news,

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes you're just talking about the news. I will

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>tell you these days, I am doing both or all three.

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I am making the news, talking about the news, and

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 1>have been in the news. Having said that, of course,

0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>not only my counsel to the President the United States,

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:32.200
<v Speaker 1>as Mayor Giuliani is, I am also the chief counsel

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>for the American Center for Law on Justice And we

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 1>have a case that is in the news fact right now,

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it is a lead story on Drudge and it's a

0:33:39.880 --> 0:33:42.479
<v Speaker 1>case an issue that we've been talking about a lot.

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:44.400
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Sean has been talking about it as well.

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:47.840
<v Speaker 1>And that is the case of Andrew Brunson, the American

0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Christian pastor. He's been in Turkey for twenty three years.

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 1>He was picked up after the coup in Turkey two

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.440
<v Speaker 1>years ago and was put in jail. Uh. The charge

0:33:56.600 --> 0:34:00.320
<v Speaker 1>against him was christianization. That is actually in the mint.

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.680
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna talk about that because the lead right now

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>on Drudge Report, and this is true, is Turkey's economy

0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:09.760
<v Speaker 1>on the brink. This could be the most expensive pastor

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:13.800
<v Speaker 1>in world history, the billion dollar pastor in one sense.

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's hard to believe that Turkey is letting

0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:18.680
<v Speaker 1>itself get to this point. This supposed to be a

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:21.640
<v Speaker 1>NATO ally after all, the get to this point because

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>they're so entrenched on keeping this pastor in Turkey. Now,

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I will say that some good news and that has

0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 1>been released to home confinement, so that certainly is better

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 1>than being in a Turkish jail. I am bringing in

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:33.759
<v Speaker 1>some of our experts at the American Center for Law

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and Justice to address this issue. Jordan Seculo is our

0:34:36.480 --> 0:34:39.360
<v Speaker 1>executive director. It's also my son. Andy Economy is a

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:42.319
<v Speaker 1>senior counsel for the a c l J, and it's

0:34:42.640 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>very involved in the issues involving the Middle East and Turkey.

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Harry Hutchinson is our director of Public Policy. Jordan, let's

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 1>go to the latest to start with you here. From

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:54.719
<v Speaker 1>the standpoint of the pastors, incarceration will get into the

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 1>economy and Turkey being impacted about this, But why don't

0:34:57.480 --> 0:34:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you give everybody the latest report on where the case is,

0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 1>because it changes literally on a daily basis. Right now,

0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:05.400
<v Speaker 1>he's on house arrest. Yes, that's a much better situation

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 1>you you would to be in as an individual. You know,

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:10.880
<v Speaker 1>we've had these situations where people are coming right out

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 1>of that prison environment back to reality and and outside

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:16.480
<v Speaker 1>of it that that can be tougher. So he's remember

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:19.040
<v Speaker 1>this is his home, long term home there. So while

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 1>he's confined, uh and so under house arrest, this is

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a familiar place. That being said, it's still confined. So

0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:31.560
<v Speaker 1>he's still being detained by a NATO ally and and

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:35.600
<v Speaker 1>and by Turkey by the government. In this situation, the

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:38.640
<v Speaker 1>case has not been dropped. The the the the the

0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 1>moved and and I'd say that every day he's there.

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Now the Turkish media which is in these reports about

0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the economy, it's NonStop. We're not so used to it here.

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:50.200
<v Speaker 1>It's become in the in the news more and more

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:52.480
<v Speaker 1>so people are getting more familiar with Andrew Brunson's name.

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:55.560
<v Speaker 1>But for two years he has been battered around the

0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Turkish press to the point where it is not safe

0:35:57.960 --> 0:35:59.799
<v Speaker 1>for him to be on the streets. Anymore. It's someone

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 1>who lived there for twenty three years. That is the

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 1>situation he is in. So every moment he has to

0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:09.480
<v Speaker 1>stay in Turkey, even with the security he's got is dangerous.

0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:13.600
<v Speaker 1>We's got eighteen Turkish security guards around his house right now,

0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean eighteen. I mean, just think about that, protecting

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 1>him from an environment that the Turkish government Urtawan created.

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Now again, I'm gonna go to Andy Economo, who is

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the senior council has been very involved in this case. Andy,

0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:27.399
<v Speaker 1>you you speak a lot of languages. You were able

0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to translate the Turkish. This pastor the charge against him

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:34.279
<v Speaker 1>is actually, I mean, folks, this is the reality of

0:36:34.360 --> 0:36:36.839
<v Speaker 1>what you're dealing with. Everybody. Of course, when they get

0:36:36.920 --> 0:36:40.480
<v Speaker 1>arrested in these situations, there a spy, it's espionage, their

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:43.279
<v Speaker 1>a c I agent. That's the allegations. But in this one,

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:45.399
<v Speaker 1>in addition to making you know what the basis upon

0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that was, it's called christianization, Andy, that is the actual

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:52.080
<v Speaker 1>charge in the indictment. Yes, that's exactly correct, Jay. What

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:56.360
<v Speaker 1>they're charging this pastor with is a Christianization of the

0:36:56.600 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Turkish Republic, or the attempt to christianize the Turkish people.

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:03.360
<v Speaker 1>And this is under ridiculous charge. It is no crime.

0:37:03.480 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 1>The Turkish constitution provides, at least publicly and for purposes

0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of popular consumption, uh, freedom of religion and worship. But

0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that's not the case for the for the minorities in Turkey.

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm Greek. I can tell you it's not the case

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 1>for the Greek minorities in Turkey, and say especially for

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the beleaguer to commenical patriarch in Constantinople and Estanbul. That

0:37:24.640 --> 0:37:27.400
<v Speaker 1>is not the case. And so what Pastor Brunson is

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:29.800
<v Speaker 1>being charged with is something that is not a crime,

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:33.480
<v Speaker 1>but has been concocted by the Urduan regime everyone being

0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 1>basically a dictator and today in Turkey, and he is

0:37:36.600 --> 0:37:40.280
<v Speaker 1>being charged with Christianization. A horrible thing to be charged

0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:43.560
<v Speaker 1>with something that uh, that is not as I said,

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 1>and a penal offense in Turkey. Let me go to

0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Harry Hutchinson east Or, director of policy at the American

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Centerfore and just again, this is Jason Lama in Port

0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:54.279
<v Speaker 1>my great friend Sean Hennedy. They give him a day off,

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Linda gave him a day off. You do that often

0:37:57.880 --> 0:37:59.880
<v Speaker 1>only when I absolutely have to see there you go,

0:38:00.080 --> 0:38:02.399
<v Speaker 1>you know what I did, j to a wedding there,

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you go. Well, that's a good thing to be going to.

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.600
<v Speaker 1>It's good to have celebrations. So I'm glad, glad he's

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:09.640
<v Speaker 1>having a good family time at a at a wedding.

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:11.920
<v Speaker 1>That's great, and I'm glad that I'm here also with

0:38:12.800 --> 0:38:15.640
<v Speaker 1>my colleague Rudy Giuliani. We're gonna get back into some

0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:18.359
<v Speaker 1>of those news items, but I wanted to really cover

0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:20.920
<v Speaker 1>this because, look, this is a case where this is

0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>an American being held captain. The President has been very

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:27.400
<v Speaker 1>aggressive about requesting and demanding I would say, did requestings

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:30.239
<v Speaker 1>not the right? We're demanding this pastor's release, and he

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>has put sanctions in place because of the way the

0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Turkish government is acting. Harry Hutchinson is our director of

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Policy at the a c l J is also professor

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:41.759
<v Speaker 1>of Law and Economics, and uh, Harry, it is fair

0:38:41.880 --> 0:38:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to say, Professor Hutchinson, that the sanctions that the President

0:38:46.320 --> 0:38:50.080
<v Speaker 1>has put in place here are having a dramatic impact

0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:52.800
<v Speaker 1>on the Turkish economy. In fact, on the Drudge Report,

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>it says Turkey on an economic brink, Jay, you are

0:38:56.239 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>absolutely correct, Turkey is edging closer and close served to

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:05.919
<v Speaker 1>a full blown financial meltdown. As President Trump has authorized

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a doubling of some tariffs on Turkish products. The Turkish

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 1>currency plunged by seventeen percent today, reaching another record low

0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:19.840
<v Speaker 1>as stocks slid by as much as nine percent. Turkey

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:24.880
<v Speaker 1>is gripped by an economic contagion. In part this is

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:30.799
<v Speaker 1>fueled by inflation and foreign debt. Most investment analysts are

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:34.120
<v Speaker 1>urging their clients to pull their assets out of Turkey

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:40.879
<v Speaker 1>immediately as Turkey faces runaway inflation and unrestrained foreign debt.

0:39:41.200 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>As the Turkish lira continues to fall in value, the

0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:50.840
<v Speaker 1>value of foreign denominated debt rises, placing even more pressure

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>on the Turkish government. You look at the situation and

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:55.759
<v Speaker 1>you try to say to yourself, why in the world

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:58.560
<v Speaker 1>with Turkey suffer that they're put themselves in this kind

0:39:58.600 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of situation to economics offering that they're going for over

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 1>this and I'm gonna go right back to Jordan's secure

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:05.959
<v Speaker 1>and this. You look at the situation, as Harry just said,

0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're doing this for what for a pastor

0:40:08.400 --> 0:40:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to be kept in jail for a false charge. What

0:40:10.920 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 1>we're saying is Turkish strong man who is not acting

0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 1>rationally more. And we've talked about how he has braced

0:40:17.840 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>embraced Islamic politics and so so blending those two and

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:25.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of towed this line between somewhat radical but still

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 1>isis is an enemy. But then what's his statement on

0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>this ultimately about the fall of the economy is not

0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:34.680
<v Speaker 1>economic or financial. It's invoking religion. So he says, quote,

0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:37.880
<v Speaker 1>if they have their dollars, we have our people and

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:39.920
<v Speaker 1>our God. And I point out two things. One in

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:43.200
<v Speaker 1>in our country, Uh, we we have our national motto.

0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Uh in God, we trust in our pledge of allegiance.

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:47.319
<v Speaker 1>We have one nation under God. So I don't think

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.279
<v Speaker 1>you know that these statements alone, but we know what

0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:52.480
<v Speaker 1>he's really saying there in Turkey. He is invoking a

0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 1>new kind of politics in Turkey. He's been doing it

0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:57.480
<v Speaker 1>over years and now even when it comes to finances,

0:40:57.800 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 1>which ultimately these strong men are usually that's their concerned.

0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:02.879
<v Speaker 1>But we've also talked about the idea that the new

0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:05.360
<v Speaker 1>allies he's tried to make are never very good allies.

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:09.080
<v Speaker 1>The Russians, Uh, they tried to work with Iran, they

0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:11.120
<v Speaker 1>don't they don't bail you out if if they've got

0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:13.480
<v Speaker 1>nothing to return. You know, in Syria, the Russians have

0:41:13.800 --> 0:41:16.759
<v Speaker 1>a warm water base. As long as they can keep that, Uh,

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:19.279
<v Speaker 1>that's worthwhile for them to keep fighting in Turkey. If

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the economy starts falling apart, then they're gonna come in

0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and save an urdwan who's still by the way, government

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:27.799
<v Speaker 1>is is a member of NATO, which the Russians can't stand. Yeah,

0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:29.760
<v Speaker 1>that's is the irony of all of this, of course,

0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 1>is that the Turks and the Russians have an ongoing feud.

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>They're a NATO ally of the United States, within the

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:38.440
<v Speaker 1>NATO Partnership, and they're certainly not acting like it. It's

0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:40.759
<v Speaker 1>become an Islamic regime. That's what it is. I mean,

0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:43.800
<v Speaker 1>that's where it's gone. Unfortunately, this is not the Turkey

0:41:43.920 --> 0:41:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and the economy of at A Turk. No, this is

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:48.640
<v Speaker 1>not the Turkey of Ada turk j. These men are

0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:53.120
<v Speaker 1>simply Islamius, wearing suits, coats and ties. The additor wore

0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:54.840
<v Speaker 1>a suit code in a time, but he tried to

0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:58.600
<v Speaker 1>bring Turkey into the West and into the then twentieth century.

0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:01.759
<v Speaker 1>So um, everyone needs to wake up. He needs to

0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 1>realize that he may have God. Um but it's a

0:42:05.760 --> 0:42:08.960
<v Speaker 1>good idea to get a local financial advisor too. Yeah,

0:42:09.000 --> 0:42:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think it's the guy that we're used to,

0:42:10.719 --> 0:42:13.799
<v Speaker 1>and he certainly could use a financial advisor. So Harry,

0:42:13.880 --> 0:42:16.160
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you this, your professor of law and economics.

0:42:16.560 --> 0:42:18.960
<v Speaker 1>What in the why would they put themselves in this

0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:24.320
<v Speaker 1>situation over this pastor? Well, I think for political, ideological,

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and religious reasons. A president Urduwan suffers, in my opinion,

0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:34.640
<v Speaker 1>from illusions of grandeur. But President Trump is responding with

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:42.880
<v Speaker 1>maximum pressure, maximum economic pressure. Urduwan has responded with defiance. Meanwhile,

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:48.439
<v Speaker 1>his country and its people are suffering massively. This will lead,

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:52.000
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, ultimately to a climb down by the

0:42:52.080 --> 0:42:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Turkish leader. I think you're right, Jordan, really quickly here

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:56.520
<v Speaker 1>as we get ready to go to a break in

0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:59.960
<v Speaker 1>a minute, unless it's important. We've handled these cases before

0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:02.920
<v Speaker 1>war with the Sudanese. We've handled him with the Iranians.

0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:05.200
<v Speaker 1>You would have never thought that Turkey would be this difficult,

0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean President Urawad built himself palaces. Uh. Well,

0:43:09.880 --> 0:43:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, while the economy was on an upswing, you

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:14.280
<v Speaker 1>would think that's what he actually cared about. I mean honestly,

0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:16.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean that the strong man kind of leader would

0:43:16.440 --> 0:43:19.839
<v Speaker 1>be more important to protect his palace. At this point, though,

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you see, he's embracing a radical uh Islamic message. We

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:26.799
<v Speaker 1>kept at kind of We've kept discussing this. How far

0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:28.879
<v Speaker 1>is he gonna go with this, this angle of using

0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Islam up to his political purposes. But I'll tell you

0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:34.920
<v Speaker 1>someone's been there in Turkey. I don't think that sells

0:43:35.160 --> 0:43:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to to enough people there to keep him in power.

0:43:37.520 --> 0:43:39.279
<v Speaker 1>And these guys, as we can see, they may have

0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of power. They may pull out these coups,

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:44.800
<v Speaker 1>these phony coups, whatever's happening there, But ultimately, if the

0:43:44.880 --> 0:43:47.439
<v Speaker 1>economy falls away, it's falling and it continues to fall.

0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 1>And with President Trump's announcement today on the tariffs, Uh,

0:43:51.400 --> 0:43:54.160
<v Speaker 1>they don't survive and I mean literally, they do not

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:57.480
<v Speaker 1>survive these kind of situations. They either end up in

0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:01.839
<v Speaker 1>prison like Mohammed Morsey in Egypt or or worse. Yeah,

0:44:01.960 --> 0:44:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and let me tell you this, folks. I spoke with

0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:07.839
<v Speaker 1>the President as recently as yesterday on Pastor Brunson's case,

0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and Uh, the President is serious. They're gonna return Andrew Brunson.

0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:14.359
<v Speaker 1>That's what needs to happen here. It has to happen here,

0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:16.719
<v Speaker 1>so we'll get more involved and that will keep you posting.

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:18.200
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I want to thank Sewan because

0:44:18.239 --> 0:44:20.920
<v Speaker 1>he's been covering this case for Pastor Brunson's hard to

0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.000
<v Speaker 1>break into the news on these kind of cases when

0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:26.359
<v Speaker 1>everything else is going on, but the folks here at

0:44:26.360 --> 0:44:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Shahn Handy's Broadcast have done that. We appreciate it. Hey,

0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:30.439
<v Speaker 1>we're taking a break. When we come back, we're gonna

0:44:30.520 --> 0:44:33.480
<v Speaker 1>have more with my friend Rudy Giuliani. We're gonna talk

0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 1>about some of the other big news of the day.

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:37.080
<v Speaker 1>There's other news in the day today. By the way,

<v Speaker 1>in case you're new to this and anyways, I'm Jay

<v Speaker 1>more in just a moment. Welcome back to the John

0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Hannity's John Jay Sekulo. I'm getting to be the host

0:45:08.280 --> 0:45:11.040
<v Speaker 1>today with my friend Mayor Rudy Giuliani. But we're talking

0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:12.759
<v Speaker 1>about a major case that we're involved in at the

0:45:12.760 --> 0:45:16.200
<v Speaker 1>American Center for Law and Justice, involving Pastor Andrew Brunson.

0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 1>We've got in our studio, as I say our, because

0:45:18.760 --> 0:45:21.239
<v Speaker 1>I have a broadcast to that airs and that is

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Secular, the executive director of the American Center for

0:45:23.719 --> 0:45:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Law and Justice, Professor Harry Hutchinson and professor of Law

0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and Economics, and our director of Policy and senior counsel

0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to the a c l J. And that is Dr

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Economa. Let me go right to Jordan. Here. We're

0:45:32.000 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about Pastor Andrew Brunson on home arrest right now,

0:45:35.160 --> 0:45:37.319
<v Speaker 1>which is better than jail, but not quite home yet.

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I want to get I'm gonna ask one question. I

0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:40.480
<v Speaker 1>want everybody to give me your thoughts. I'm gonna start

0:45:40.480 --> 0:45:43.239
<v Speaker 1>with Jordan's what do you with the economic pressure on

0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Turkey now, what do you expect to happen. Well, we

0:45:46.080 --> 0:45:49.640
<v Speaker 1>know that Turkey is tying directly President Trump's tweet, which

0:45:49.680 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 1>he did not do it in the in the tweet

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:53.920
<v Speaker 1>announcing the tariffs, but they are in the media and

0:45:54.480 --> 0:45:58.359
<v Speaker 1>and through the government directly to Pastor Andrew Bruns, as

0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you said earlier, the most expensive pastor in history, to

0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:05.759
<v Speaker 1>an economy falling apart. And is that going to again

0:46:05.880 --> 0:46:08.480
<v Speaker 1>make it with the people of Turkey. They're not that

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:11.400
<v Speaker 1>radicalized overall, and I think that they may have been

0:46:11.440 --> 0:46:14.360
<v Speaker 1>okay with a strong man talking Turkish nationalism, but his

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:18.880
<v Speaker 1>full embrace of almost Islamic, this kind of modern Islamic radicalism,

0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I would call it, is not I just doesn't sell

0:46:21.520 --> 0:46:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to the people. And I think he's on the brink.

0:46:23.480 --> 0:46:25.920
<v Speaker 1>He's the one on the brink of of real disaster

0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:28.880
<v Speaker 1>for himself. Let me ask this to you, uh Andy,

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:30.960
<v Speaker 1>your sinse. You've been to Turkey a lot, you know

0:46:31.080 --> 0:46:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the region, you know the area. What do you think

0:46:33.200 --> 0:46:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the next thing is here? I think Arionan is gonna

0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:38.080
<v Speaker 1>have to climb down. I mean I've been to Istanbul

0:46:38.160 --> 0:46:41.160
<v Speaker 1>several times. It's a western city, essentially a city of

0:46:41.200 --> 0:46:44.040
<v Speaker 1>seventeen million people. The interior of Turkey is very different

0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:48.160
<v Speaker 1>ancient Capadocia and medieval Cavadosia, the heart of the old

0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Byzantine Empire is different. But the reality is that people

0:46:51.200 --> 0:46:54.000
<v Speaker 1>are hungry both in Istanbul and people are hungry in

0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the middle part of Turkey, which means that they're not

0:46:56.520 --> 0:46:58.960
<v Speaker 1>going to tolerate the inflation, They're not going to tolerate

0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the economic hardships in there. To On's gonna have to

0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:03.960
<v Speaker 1>climb down, but you're gonna have to give him some

0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:07.360
<v Speaker 1>face saving device. So Harry, from an economic standpoint that

0:47:07.680 --> 0:47:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the impact on the lyra, the impact on the economy

0:47:09.719 --> 0:47:12.799
<v Speaker 1>already has been significant. What do you think happens next? Well,

0:47:12.880 --> 0:47:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I think, Jay, you're absolutely correct. The economy is cratering,

0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the lera is plunging, investors are fleeing, and sanctions and

0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:24.680
<v Speaker 1>tariffs are working. So I think there will indeed be

0:47:25.000 --> 0:47:31.319
<v Speaker 1>a climb down by the Turkish president despite his current defiance. Ultimately,

0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:34.440
<v Speaker 1>he will have to answer to his people, and his

0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:37.480
<v Speaker 1>people are hurting immensely. I think that's the reality. I

0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:40.440
<v Speaker 1>appreciate everybody's opinions on that. Let me again say a

0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:42.560
<v Speaker 1>huge thank you to Sean and the whole team here

0:47:42.560 --> 0:47:45.840
<v Speaker 1>at the Sean Hannity Show for covering this story. And

0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I think, look, I think we're gonna get this pastor

0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 1>home to the United States very very soon. I can't

0:47:51.719 --> 0:47:53.800
<v Speaker 1>give you, and I'm not good at predicting dates, especially

0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:55.320
<v Speaker 1>in these kind of cases. You can because there's so

0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:57.680
<v Speaker 1>many ups and downs. But I still think with all

0:47:57.719 --> 0:47:59.520
<v Speaker 1>this going on, at the end of the day, we're

0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:01.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna get there. We're just gonna take it. May take

0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a week and may take a month, we're gonna get there. Anyways,

0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:06.040
<v Speaker 1>We've got a lot more to discuss. We'll be taking

0:48:06.080 --> 0:48:12.399
<v Speaker 1>calls as well. That's eight. Sean, my co host, will

0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:14.879

<v Speaker 1>today's purposes, more importantly, I will say former U. S Attorney,

0:49:18.480 --> 0:49:22.280
<v Speaker 1>former senior member of the Nited States Department of Justice,

0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and my colleague and co council in a fairly important case,

0:49:26.360 --> 0:49:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a very important case that's going on right now, and

0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:31.000
<v Speaker 1>he is our co host today and we're both co

0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:33.840
<v Speaker 1>hosting for sean Mayor. I want to talk to you

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:37.080
<v Speaker 1>about uh an issue that you and I are dealing with,

0:49:37.280 --> 0:49:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and will start this and let you uh pontificate some here,

0:49:40.960 --> 0:49:43.160
<v Speaker 1>but you're saying that's important. We have you and I've

0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:45.360
<v Speaker 1>handled a lot of media over the last couple of

0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:48.839
<v Speaker 1>days on the issue of what everybody wants to talk about.

0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:50.279
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, if you want to talk about it,

0:49:50.560 --> 0:49:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you can call us at eight one, seven, three to

0:49:53.160 --> 0:49:55.840
<v Speaker 1>six or eight nine one, Shawn. And that is the

0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:58.080
<v Speaker 1>issue of a presidential interview, and there's a lot of

0:49:58.120 --> 0:50:00.880
<v Speaker 1>issues that go into that, Rudy, A lot of discussion

0:50:00.960 --> 0:50:03.879
<v Speaker 1>that takes place, but a lot of legal analysis. Let's

0:50:03.920 --> 0:50:05.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of get everybody up to speed on where we are.

0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:08.600
<v Speaker 1>So there are two things they have to deal with,

0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:10.799
<v Speaker 1>as you know J because we deal with it every day.

0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:15.359
<v Speaker 1>One is just the normal representation of a person who

0:50:16.040 --> 0:50:19.240
<v Speaker 1>is in some way under investigation, although they're very fudgy

0:50:19.280 --> 0:50:23.680
<v Speaker 1>about what it's about. So far, no crime suggested Uh.

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:26.600
<v Speaker 1>And he has rights and they have to be protected. Second,

0:50:26.640 --> 0:50:29.680
<v Speaker 1>he's the president of United States, so he has prerogatives

0:50:29.719 --> 0:50:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that have to be protected, not just for him but

0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the future presidents. So it's very, very complicated. And we

0:50:35.760 --> 0:50:38.360
<v Speaker 1>also have a client who wants to be heard. He

0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:41.759
<v Speaker 1>he has felt from the very beginning, and he's right,

0:50:41.840 --> 0:50:44.480
<v Speaker 1>he's done nothing wrong, that he should be able to

0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:47.560
<v Speaker 1>tell his story and they should believe him. On the

0:50:47.600 --> 0:50:50.480
<v Speaker 1>other hand, he also knows that he doesn't exactly have

0:50:50.640 --> 0:50:54.920
<v Speaker 1>an unbiased group of people. They have problem indicated to

0:50:55.120 --> 0:50:59.120
<v Speaker 1>us even in our discussions, a preference for Comey, a

0:50:59.200 --> 0:51:02.359
<v Speaker 1>preference for some of these other people. The whole root

0:51:02.440 --> 0:51:06.239
<v Speaker 1>of the investigation is corrupt. The going back to the

0:51:06.320 --> 0:51:12.520
<v Speaker 1>dossier and Uh struck people who hate him, counterintelligence investigation

0:51:12.560 --> 0:51:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that I can't figure out how they ever did it,

0:51:14.920 --> 0:51:18.120
<v Speaker 1>fies and wires that somebody should get prosecutors for perjury

0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and getting them Uh, all that chaints the investigation. So

0:51:23.440 --> 0:51:25.239
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot to consider. You know, I said

0:51:25.280 --> 0:51:29.680
<v Speaker 1>from the outset that the the corruption started this investigation. Actually,

0:51:29.719 --> 0:51:32.240
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the the the just the beginning

0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:35.719
<v Speaker 1>of the investigation, the inception of the investigation, the corruption

0:51:35.840 --> 0:51:39.040
<v Speaker 1>ran very deep. And then it continue to permeate. And

0:51:39.080 --> 0:51:40.799
<v Speaker 1>if you start just go through the what I call

0:51:40.880 --> 0:51:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the parade to horribles. I mean, just look at the issues.

0:51:43.239 --> 0:51:44.600
<v Speaker 1>This is why we you know, you and I keep

0:51:44.640 --> 0:51:48.160
<v Speaker 1>calling this an irregular investigation. Well, and that's being kind.

0:51:48.239 --> 0:51:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Actually that's that's me. That's being courteous, because look at

0:51:50.920 --> 0:51:53.799
<v Speaker 1>the irregularity. It starts with the dossier that even James

0:51:53.880 --> 0:51:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Comb he admits is silicious and unverified. We now find

0:51:57.960 --> 0:52:02.040
<v Speaker 1>out that the the author of AT was Christopher Steele,

0:52:02.480 --> 0:52:05.120
<v Speaker 1>who just happened to be hired by Fusion GPS, who

0:52:05.120 --> 0:52:08.160
<v Speaker 1>happened to be hired by the Clinton campaign, who was

0:52:08.239 --> 0:52:11.560
<v Speaker 1>working with Bruce or the number four the United States

0:52:11.600 --> 0:52:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Department of Justice wife Nelly or she was working for

0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Fusion GPS and just happened to be working on the

0:52:17.200 --> 0:52:19.960
<v Speaker 1>putting together the dossier. Now, okay, you could not make

0:52:20.000 --> 0:52:22.279
<v Speaker 1>that up, except then it gets better, and that is

0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you have the lead investigator and the conversations he had

0:52:26.080 --> 0:52:29.360
<v Speaker 1>with Lisa Page, and you got the whole Strock Page incident.

0:52:29.680 --> 0:52:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Then you got the insurance policy with Andy McKay. We

0:52:32.520 --> 0:52:35.480
<v Speaker 1>must get it. What's the insurance policy? Now? A lot

0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:37.600
<v Speaker 1>of the people that that were the FBI are now

0:52:37.719 --> 0:52:40.520
<v Speaker 1>gone that we're involved in this. But the truth is

0:52:40.920 --> 0:52:46.080
<v Speaker 1>that Peter Struck, the agent Rudy, was the lead investigator

0:52:46.400 --> 0:52:48.839
<v Speaker 1>for the Special Counsel's office. And I keep talking about

0:52:48.880 --> 0:52:51.160
<v Speaker 1>what happened to that evidence that they gathered even though

0:52:51.200 --> 0:52:54.280
<v Speaker 1>he was you know, they'll say, well, he was subsequently fired. True,

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:56.839
<v Speaker 1>but what happened to that evidence that he gathered during

0:52:56.920 --> 0:52:59.480
<v Speaker 1>that year and a half he was on the investigation

0:52:59.480 --> 0:53:03.000
<v Speaker 1>because he predates the actual Mueler appointment. And we talked

0:53:03.000 --> 0:53:04.760
<v Speaker 1>about in the law the proof of the poisonous treatment.

0:53:05.120 --> 0:53:08.080
<v Speaker 1>It's serious when you you can't even the irregularities here

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:10.640
<v Speaker 1>are so in depth it's it's really hard to put

0:53:10.680 --> 0:53:13.080
<v Speaker 1>your head around it. I would describe this as an

0:53:13.160 --> 0:53:20.040
<v Speaker 1>investigation born in corruption. It's a corrupt dossier that is

0:53:20.120 --> 0:53:24.120
<v Speaker 1>crying out for real investigation. If you're talking about collusion

0:53:24.200 --> 0:53:29.399
<v Speaker 1>to effect an investigation paying a foreigner as Hillary did,

0:53:30.080 --> 0:53:35.560
<v Speaker 1>to produce a false dossier on Donald Trump. It's so

0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:38.200
<v Speaker 1>far the biggest crime that's been committed with regard to

0:53:38.280 --> 0:53:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the election that is provable. And then that dossier is

0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:45.799
<v Speaker 1>used as the basis for the wire taps, that fis

0:53:45.880 --> 0:53:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the wires, and then when they know it's false, they

0:53:49.440 --> 0:53:51.480
<v Speaker 1>don't correct it. They go back to the judge and

0:53:51.520 --> 0:53:55.719
<v Speaker 1>they keep repeating it. Now, some judge has got to

0:53:55.719 --> 0:53:58.000
<v Speaker 1>be going out of his mind, even worse than Judge Ellis,

0:53:58.600 --> 0:54:03.120
<v Speaker 1>because that judge was made of and the five process

0:54:03.760 --> 0:54:07.480
<v Speaker 1>was completely made a mockery of by this false UH dossier.

0:54:08.120 --> 0:54:13.080
<v Speaker 1>So it spawns an investigation. The investigation produces no evidence

0:54:13.239 --> 0:54:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of anything involving President Trump and Russians, and somehow Comey

0:54:19.640 --> 0:54:23.239
<v Speaker 1>comes along and makes it into a criminal investigation. And

0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:26.440
<v Speaker 1>now we know that the criminal investigation itself. Of course,

0:54:26.520 --> 0:54:28.840
<v Speaker 1>we also have to put in there that James Comey

0:54:29.280 --> 0:54:32.400
<v Speaker 1>said that he created this memo after his meeting with

0:54:32.600 --> 0:54:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the president, leaked it to the press for the sole

0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:39.920
<v Speaker 1>appointment of getting a special counsel, which was miraculously appointed.

0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Now could you imagine, and you were a U S

0:54:42.040 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 1>attorney Rudy, and you were also a high ranking Justice

0:54:45.080 --> 0:54:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Department official. I worked for Treasury and beginning my legal career.

0:54:48.080 --> 0:54:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Could you imagine if an I R. S Agent or

0:54:49.719 --> 0:54:51.799
<v Speaker 1>an FBI agent were to release their three O two

0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:55.080
<v Speaker 1>form to the press. What would happen to those agents,

0:54:55.280 --> 0:54:59.600
<v Speaker 1>those who have been indicted and prosecuted and convicted. It's

0:54:59.600 --> 0:55:03.400
<v Speaker 1>a a crime to do it. And uh, in this

0:55:03.560 --> 0:55:08.879
<v Speaker 1>particular case, it wasn't accidental. This was a planned, completely

0:55:09.440 --> 0:55:12.880
<v Speaker 1>thought out, corrupt scheme on the part of Comey. So

0:55:13.000 --> 0:55:15.080
<v Speaker 1>it didn't come from him. It came from this professor.

0:55:15.640 --> 0:55:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, imagine the skullduggery of this man. He and

0:55:20.160 --> 0:55:21.840
<v Speaker 1>then he wants us to believe that the memo is

0:55:21.880 --> 0:55:26.680
<v Speaker 1>accurate about the Flynn conversation. He he wants us to

0:55:26.719 --> 0:55:30.120
<v Speaker 1>believe that at the time of the Flynn conversation he

0:55:30.280 --> 0:55:34.200
<v Speaker 1>felt that he was being obstructed. However, he never told

0:55:34.200 --> 0:55:37.080
<v Speaker 1>anybody about it. He never reported it. If he didn't report,

0:55:37.120 --> 0:55:40.840
<v Speaker 1>it's to misprison of a felony, because as an FBI director,

0:55:40.880 --> 0:55:44.640
<v Speaker 1>he had to report it. He then he testifies under

0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:49.040
<v Speaker 1>oath after it and before he releases the memo that

0:55:49.200 --> 0:55:51.520
<v Speaker 1>he had not been obstructed in any way, you can

0:55:51.640 --> 0:55:55.040
<v Speaker 1>have Jared on later, Greg Jared, he says, it's not

0:55:55.280 --> 0:55:59.880
<v Speaker 1>happened in my experience under oath. Right, he's now contradicting.

0:56:00.040 --> 0:56:03.200
<v Speaker 1>In other words, he can lied under oath. So they

0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:06.680
<v Speaker 1>want this guy to be the arbiter of truth and

0:56:06.719 --> 0:56:10.040
<v Speaker 1>they're not investigating him for his crimes. I mean, this

0:56:10.200 --> 0:56:15.520
<v Speaker 1>is really corrupt. Supposedly there's an office. Yeah, well, there's

0:56:15.520 --> 0:56:20.399
<v Speaker 1>the Inspector General's report that is supposedly coming involving James Comy.

0:56:20.440 --> 0:56:22.399
<v Speaker 1>We haven't seen it yet. Then I'm hearing and you're

0:56:22.440 --> 0:56:25.200
<v Speaker 1>hearing the same things we're hearing. But September October, so

0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that may come out and we'll see. The last one

0:56:27.280 --> 0:56:30.560
<v Speaker 1>was pretty tough on Andrew McCabe. Interestingly, he's no longer

0:56:30.600 --> 0:56:32.640
<v Speaker 1>with the Department of Justice. James Comy is no longer

0:56:32.680 --> 0:56:37.239
<v Speaker 1>with the Department of Justice. Ribicky's no longer with the department. Yeah,

0:56:37.239 --> 0:56:38.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean you get that. There's been quite a lit

0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:41.400
<v Speaker 1>at least a page all gone. Yeah. Comey wants us

0:56:41.440 --> 0:56:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to believe that Trump had this conversation with him about Flynt,

0:56:46.719 --> 0:56:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that he felt that there was an obstruction of justice,

0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a serious federal felony. But he never reported it, never

0:56:54.080 --> 0:56:57.799
<v Speaker 1>told McCabe about it, because McCabe also testified that there

0:56:57.840 --> 0:57:00.920
<v Speaker 1>was no obstruction as he did, and that he testified

0:57:01.000 --> 0:57:04.840
<v Speaker 1>falsely under oath. I mean, he can't he can't be

0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 1>obstructed three months later. He can't remember the conversation three

0:57:08.520 --> 0:57:10.480
<v Speaker 1>months later and say, oh my god, he tried to

0:57:10.560 --> 0:57:14.279
<v Speaker 1>obstruct me. I mean, this is so phony. If it

0:57:14.360 --> 0:57:17.840
<v Speaker 1>weren't for the fact that the president has these CNN

0:57:17.960 --> 0:57:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and MSNBC and all these people that are just dying

0:57:21.080 --> 0:57:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to interpret everything against him, people would be demanding an

0:57:24.400 --> 0:57:27.000
<v Speaker 1>investigation to call me. You know, it's interesting because if

0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:28.240
<v Speaker 1>you look at the sing i' we're gonna talk with

0:57:28.280 --> 0:57:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned Greg Jared, our friend Greg Jared. It's got

0:57:30.360 --> 0:57:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a great book out by the way, the Russian Hoax,

0:57:31.800 --> 0:57:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and everybody needs to be reading this a great, great book.

0:57:35.240 --> 0:57:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm underlining it. I bet you are, and I got

0:57:38.680 --> 0:57:42.120
<v Speaker 1>an early copy so we all have. Uh, let me

0:57:42.200 --> 0:57:44.040
<v Speaker 1>say that we're gonna get into that with Greg. I

0:57:44.120 --> 0:57:45.920
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about a lot of that because it's important.

0:57:46.120 --> 0:57:48.240
<v Speaker 1>But you know, people need to understand also that we

0:57:48.360 --> 0:57:51.240
<v Speaker 1>are trying to handle and you understand this. You you've

0:57:51.280 --> 0:57:53.800
<v Speaker 1>got competing interests when when you talk about an interview,

0:57:54.160 --> 0:57:56.920
<v Speaker 1>so that the question today is the interview of the president.

0:57:56.960 --> 0:57:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Will the president s admit to an interview? And I

0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:01.040
<v Speaker 1>want to be very clear in this. We have raised

0:58:01.480 --> 0:58:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and have have raised this really since the beginning of

0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:06.200
<v Speaker 1>my representation, which is going back over a year now,

0:58:06.560 --> 0:58:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that there are significant Article two issues, I mean really

0:58:09.720 --> 0:58:13.840
<v Speaker 1>significant Article two issues. Do you think a U. S. Attorney,

0:58:13.880 --> 0:58:17.080
<v Speaker 1>for instance, should be able to subpoena a president of

0:58:17.120 --> 0:58:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the United States to discuss the reason why he made

0:58:19.720 --> 0:58:22.400
<v Speaker 1>a policy move or a decision to fire a subordinate

0:58:22.960 --> 0:58:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't. If that's the case, well then why couldn't

0:58:25.040 --> 0:58:27.680
<v Speaker 1>every U. S. Attorney in every district who has a

0:58:27.720 --> 0:58:30.720
<v Speaker 1>beef with a particular president started issuing subpoenas and that

0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the president, instead of running the government, ends up responding

0:58:34.600 --> 0:58:36.280
<v Speaker 1>to subpoena's. That's not the way it's supposed to be.

0:58:36.280 --> 0:58:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Our founders knew that, and that's why they have political

0:58:38.480 --> 0:58:40.920
<v Speaker 1>process in there. It's not a legal process. They're not

0:58:40.920 --> 0:58:43.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a trial here, but people have to understand

0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that we have to go through a real process of

0:58:46.200 --> 0:58:50.160
<v Speaker 1>analysis in coming to these conclusions. Rudy about whether what

0:58:50.240 --> 0:58:53.800
<v Speaker 1>our recommendation is we regarding an interview. Obviously, when the

0:58:54.000 --> 0:58:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Special Council sent us the last proposal, obviously we didn't

0:58:57.160 --> 0:58:59.120
<v Speaker 1>accept it. So we counter. We're not going to get

0:58:59.120 --> 0:59:01.160
<v Speaker 1>into the contents of that counter that would be appropriate.

0:59:01.600 --> 0:59:03.880
<v Speaker 1>But there's a lot of factors that go into this.

0:59:04.800 --> 0:59:06.200
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of factors go into it, and

0:59:06.880 --> 0:59:10.960
<v Speaker 1>not the least of which is you have to evaluate

0:59:11.040 --> 0:59:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the good faith of the people who are seeking to

0:59:13.600 --> 0:59:16.840
<v Speaker 1>question him. Do you really have a chance of persuading them,

0:59:17.320 --> 0:59:20.120
<v Speaker 1>or have they made up their minds already and they're

0:59:20.160 --> 0:59:22.960
<v Speaker 1>just trying to set him up. A great example we

0:59:23.040 --> 0:59:26.400
<v Speaker 1>talked about flynn Is Flynt, the President of the United States,

0:59:26.440 --> 0:59:29.640
<v Speaker 1>says he never had that conversation with Comey. Comey says

0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:32.160
<v Speaker 1>that he did. You know, both of us would be

0:59:32.200 --> 0:59:36.720
<v Speaker 1>perfectly comfortable if he had had the conversation, right, He

0:59:36.760 --> 0:59:40.040
<v Speaker 1>said nothing wrong. He didn't say you must drop the case,

0:59:40.080 --> 0:59:42.880
<v Speaker 1>which you could do. He said you should think about it,

0:59:42.960 --> 0:59:45.560
<v Speaker 1>you should give him a break, which many people have

0:59:45.640 --> 0:59:48.200
<v Speaker 1>said to me when I was a prosecutor. We know

0:59:48.400 --> 0:59:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Comy didn't think of it as obstruction because he would

0:59:50.480 --> 0:59:54.040
<v Speaker 1>have reported it. So we have a very good defense

0:59:54.400 --> 0:59:57.160
<v Speaker 1>on the facts. But the fact is the president insists

0:59:57.440 --> 1:00:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I never had that conversation. So now we put him,

1:00:00.520 --> 1:00:02.760
<v Speaker 1>We put him in front of we put him in

1:00:02.760 --> 1:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>front of Mueller. Mueller asked him that question. He says, no,

1:00:05.280 --> 1:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have the conversation, and then they say, oh,

1:00:08.600 --> 1:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>we believe the liar Comey now here. Here we're almost

1:00:12.440 --> 1:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>in a disadvantage because there's no trial. They'd never charge

1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>him in an indictment with it because Comey couldn't withstand

1:00:17.880 --> 1:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>cross examination. He gave a private prior statement under oath

1:00:21.760 --> 1:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>contrary to that. All Right, we're gonna be back with

1:00:23.640 --> 1:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot more. I'm j Sekulo in with Rudy Giuliani.

1:00:26.200 --> 1:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>We are hosting for Sean Hannity. He's taking a break

1:00:28.280 --> 1:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>for one day. They gave him a day off, Linda

1:00:31.760 --> 1:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>gave him a day. Yeah, we're gonna take calls also

1:00:34.200 --> 1:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>an eight one, seven, three to six. That's eight hundred

1:00:37.840 --> 1:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>nine for one Sean. And there is a lot to

1:00:41.080 --> 1:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about, as we discussed, not just the issues of

1:00:43.640 --> 1:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>what's facing the country and the president. We're gonna talk

1:00:46.240 --> 1:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit when we come back about some strategy.

1:00:49.280 --> 1:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's important to deal with strategy, and let me

1:00:51.760 --> 1:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>tell you something. The Mayor and I are doing a

1:00:53.680 --> 1:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of strategizing, a lot of strategicy no president bushes.

1:00:59.800 --> 1:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like on another president because look, I mean again,

1:01:03.320 --> 1:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>as we've been talking to you, there's a lot to

1:01:05.240 --> 1:01:08.320
<v Speaker 1>that lot goes into a decision about allowing a president

1:01:08.400 --> 1:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to be interviewed. And we're gonna talk more about that,

1:01:10.920 --> 1:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>and we'll get to a lot of your questions and

1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>comments as well. We joined by a lot of great guests,

1:01:15.400 --> 1:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>great book by Greg Jarrett. We'll be back with more

1:01:18.680 --> 1:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>on the Sean Hannity Show in just a moment. Welcome

1:01:22.760 --> 1:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>back to the Johan Hannity Jean Jay said Kilo, chief

1:01:24.720 --> 1:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Council of the American Center for Lawn Justice, Council for

1:01:26.640 --> 1:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the President of the United States with me. Co hosting

1:01:28.640 --> 1:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>is Mayor Rudy Giuliani. More important, former U S Attorney

1:01:32.440 --> 1:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Rudy Giuliani and senior Justice Department official. There's something that

1:01:36.520 --> 1:01:39.320
<v Speaker 1>we've got a lot more, but there's something we want

1:01:39.360 --> 1:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>to get to and I think it's important for people

1:01:41.160 --> 1:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>to understand this as the decisions are made on interviews

1:01:44.720 --> 1:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>or not. We've we've told you what our inclination is

1:01:46.720 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and that is you know, we don't think they've met

1:01:48.480 --> 1:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that at this point the threshold at all. And I

1:01:51.200 --> 1:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>think constitutionally they don't have the right to interview in

1:01:53.560 --> 1:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the first place. There are a lot of other factors

1:01:55.520 --> 1:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that go into this, but there's something that we do

1:01:57.360 --> 1:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>need to get very clear. Rudy. I think what we

1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>have to get clear as the fact that a lot

1:02:01.760 --> 1:02:03.959
<v Speaker 1>of people interpret it this way. Well, if he's telling

1:02:04.000 --> 1:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the truth, why wouldn't he just go in and testify, Hey,

1:02:07.520 --> 1:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the real world. The fact is he is

1:02:10.280 --> 1:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>telling the truth. He has done nothing wrong. All these

1:02:13.880 --> 1:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>months and months, all these people going after him, they

1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>haven't suggested one thing he did wrong, not a single thing,

1:02:19.360 --> 1:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>no crime, no unethical conduct. The reason we have to

1:02:24.000 --> 1:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>worry about it is one we're giving away prerogatives of

1:02:26.760 --> 1:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the president and the president and the and the president

1:02:29.280 --> 1:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and his and his own counsel. Has to be heard

1:02:32.040 --> 1:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>on that second. They were walking him into a possible

1:02:37.200 --> 1:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>perjury trap, not because he isn't telling the truth, but

1:02:40.800 --> 1:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>because somebody else isn't telling the truth who they would credit,

1:02:43.920 --> 1:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>namely Comy. So if he says I never had the

1:02:46.400 --> 1:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>conversation with Flynn, and they elect to believe Comey, they

1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>can write down, we believe he committed perjury. And now

1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>we have walked him into that, even though it's one

1:02:54.200 --> 1:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>person's working against another person's worring and one's got a

1:02:56.360 --> 1:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>memo and one said that didn't happen. Here's the here's

1:02:58.320 --> 1:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the problem with all Let's be just one. Here's the

1:03:00.600 --> 1:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>problem with all this. Why would you do this, Why

1:03:02.560 --> 1:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>would you submit any client, let alone the President of

1:03:05.080 --> 1:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the United States to this kind of situation. But when

1:03:07.000 --> 1:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you add to it the presidency of the United States,

1:03:09.240 --> 1:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just, by the way, about this president,

1:03:10.920 --> 1:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>it's about future presidents. Because what we design, what we

1:03:14.120 --> 1:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>recommend to President Trump impacts future presidents. And that's and

1:03:18.480 --> 1:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>that's where the Article two in the Constitution are so

1:03:21.080 --> 1:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>critical here. And I don't think we can ignore that

1:03:23.440 --> 1:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>for one single moment. I think we do that at

1:03:25.960 --> 1:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>our own peril. I think that's right and and and

1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>if if we have to contest it and fight it,

1:03:30.480 --> 1:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>h we have a good chance of winning it and

1:03:32.720 --> 1:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>vindicating the presidency. The reality is, I will say this

1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>over and over again, if this would just simply can

1:03:38.560 --> 1:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>he go in and tell the truth. Of course he can.

1:03:40.480 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>He's got nothing to hide. We have stipulated with them.

1:03:43.440 --> 1:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>We are willing to stipulate with him what he's gonna say.

1:03:45.960 --> 1:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>They know what he's gonna say. Well, we produced millions

1:03:48.560 --> 1:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>of pages of documents, thirty two wits and it's been

1:03:50.960 --> 1:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>it's been the most transparent inquiry of this type when

1:03:54.520 --> 1:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>involving the office of the presidency in history. No one's

1:03:57.040 --> 1:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>done it like this. Having said that, there are also

1:03:59.840 --> 1:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the threshold constitutional standards that have not been met in

1:04:02.400 --> 1:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>our view at this point, and that certainly raised not

1:04:05.360 --> 1:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>only serious legal arguments, but I think puts the onus,

1:04:08.720 --> 1:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>not on us quite frankly. Uh. And I don't believe

1:04:12.000 --> 1:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>a court. I hope we don't have to go that route.

1:04:14.080 --> 1:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>We might not have to if we do, we do. Uh.

1:04:16.800 --> 1:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the Supreme Court of the United States

1:04:18.440 --> 1:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>would say the president being compelled to testify it with

1:04:21.280 --> 1:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>regard to actions he took within his constitutional authority. That

1:04:24.720 --> 1:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>would set a horrible president back in mort a moment. Hey,

1:04:27.240 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to the broadcast everyone, Jay Sekulo and may

1:04:29.680 --> 1:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Rooty Giuliani in for Sean Hannity, and we are joined

1:04:32.400 --> 1:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>right now by someone that knows a little bit about

1:04:34.520 --> 1:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the topic we've been discussing, among many other things, but

1:04:37.640 --> 1:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>especially about this one, and that is our friend Fox

1:04:41.040 --> 1:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>News phenomenal legal analyst Greg Jared, who's got a great

1:04:44.680 --> 1:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>book out by the way, and we're talking about a

1:04:46.440 --> 1:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>must read, The Russian Hoax books. Done pretty well there,

1:04:49.280 --> 1:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Greg number one on the New York Times bestseller list

1:04:52.480 --> 1:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>for two weeks in a row so far. Yeah, you know,

1:04:58.800 --> 1:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>it's got to give him a high aid fever at

1:05:01.640 --> 1:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the Times. So you know, you know, the issues we're

1:05:03.560 --> 1:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>facing right now is a lawyer's force, and you know,

1:05:05.760 --> 1:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and people are saying, why can't you just say no,

1:05:08.160 --> 1:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna do it. And look, there's there's there's

1:05:10.640 --> 1:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>process in this, and there's considerations you have as one

1:05:14.120 --> 1:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons that you got a client that says

1:05:15.720 --> 1:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>he wants to do it, and and you know, so ultimately,

1:05:19.240 --> 1:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I said this to our French John and

1:05:21.000 --> 1:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and he said, well, why can't you just say no?

1:05:23.240 --> 1:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, if I say no and Rudy says no,

1:05:25.360 --> 1:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>that's great, but the client has to agree. It's the

1:05:27.360 --> 1:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>way it works. But you laid out the case very

1:05:29.960 --> 1:05:32.280
<v Speaker 1>strongly in your book about the Russian hoax. Le, let's

1:05:32.280 --> 1:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>give the top line on that kind of what do

1:05:34.400 --> 1:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you see as the If you're gonna let name the

1:05:36.760 --> 1:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>top four of the what I call the parade of

1:05:38.600 --> 1:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>horribles here, what would you say, Well, I would say

1:05:41.640 --> 1:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>that once people read the book, they will be absolutely

1:05:45.280 --> 1:05:48.840
<v Speaker 1>convinced that top officials that the Department of Justice and

1:05:49.400 --> 1:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the FBI abuse their positions of power to subvert the

1:05:54.080 --> 1:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>rule of law and undermine the democratic process. They cleared

1:05:59.320 --> 1:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Hillary clin even though they knew that there was overwhelming,

1:06:03.840 --> 1:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>compelling evidence of her criminality. Comy wrote it down not

1:06:07.160 --> 1:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>once but twice, and then had his confederate Lisa Page

1:06:11.960 --> 1:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and Peter struct sit down a Structs computer and expunge

1:06:15.240 --> 1:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the language that was so incriminating. And on the very

1:06:19.280 --> 1:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>day that Comey stands in front of television cameras announcing

1:06:23.800 --> 1:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that he's absolving Hillary Clinton because no reasonable prosecutor would

1:06:28.520 --> 1:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>bring a case which was preposterous, Americans didn't know what

1:06:32.120 --> 1:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>was happening that moment. In a building in London, Comey's

1:06:37.280 --> 1:06:42.280
<v Speaker 1>FBI is meeting with Christopher Steeve, who's on the FBI payroll,

1:06:42.600 --> 1:06:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton payroll. He composed the totally fabricated dossier, the

1:06:48.240 --> 1:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>anti truck, alleging collusion that Putin and Trump had been

1:06:52.320 --> 1:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>colluding for five to eight years before the two thousand

1:06:56.920 --> 1:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and sixteen election. It was utterly preposterous. You know, Greg

1:07:00.400 --> 1:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>raises Mayor the issue here because I think this is

1:07:03.000 --> 1:07:05.640
<v Speaker 1>a one that sometimes gets lost in this process. When

1:07:05.760 --> 1:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>when when the former FBI director, then the FBI Director

1:07:08.600 --> 1:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>James Comby, makes the statement, the grand pronouncement, that no

1:07:11.480 --> 1:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>reasonable prosecutor would would move forward on a prosecution. First

1:07:15.120 --> 1:07:16.880
<v Speaker 1>of all, he was the director of the FBI that

1:07:17.480 --> 1:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>even pronouncing on that. Uh, No FBI director in my memory,

1:07:21.560 --> 1:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>has ever given a press conference and described the facts

1:07:24.400 --> 1:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of a case in which he's declining prosecution. And he

1:07:27.960 --> 1:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get to decline prosecution. Now, I did when I

1:07:30.520 --> 1:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>was U S attorney, not him. I would have gone

1:07:32.680 --> 1:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>totally nuts if he did it to me when I

1:07:34.520 --> 1:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>was U S attorney, And it's the reason he probably

1:07:36.800 --> 1:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>got him fired. Yeah, immediately usurping the power, as you

1:07:41.080 --> 1:07:43.919
<v Speaker 1>point out, Mayor of the Attorney General. When I read

1:07:43.920 --> 1:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>your book, Greg, I come away with the falling they're

1:07:46.280 --> 1:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>investigating in one way or another. President Nited States now

1:07:49.640 --> 1:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>for two years without a single suggestion that he committed

1:07:54.040 --> 1:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>any crime. That's right, we don't know what the crime is.

1:07:56.160 --> 1:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>An investigation in search of a crime. On the other hand,

1:07:58.920 --> 1:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>we have all these possible crimes committed by by Comey, uh,

1:08:03.480 --> 1:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>leaking the memo, lying under oath about not being obstructed,

1:08:07.880 --> 1:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>or lying later about feeling he was obstructed, miss prison

1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>of felony, the dossier in which it is clearly untrue,

1:08:16.040 --> 1:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and they go ahead and have three fiser applications in

1:08:19.280 --> 1:08:21.479
<v Speaker 1>which they don't explain to the judge that it's untrue,

1:08:21.640 --> 1:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>that it's problem. Why isn't this being investigated it should be.

1:08:25.080 --> 1:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is, you know, sort of alice through

1:08:27.120 --> 1:08:31.479
<v Speaker 1>the looking glass. Everything's backwards and upside down. Uh, you know,

1:08:31.640 --> 1:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>just look at the dossier as you point out a

1:08:33.760 --> 1:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>goo by Comey and others. Uh, they used a false document,

1:08:39.000 --> 1:08:41.599
<v Speaker 1>they knew it was false. They deceived the judges, They

1:08:41.680 --> 1:08:44.439
<v Speaker 1>concealed evidence in the case that is a fraud on

1:08:44.479 --> 1:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the quarters. You know, how would like to be that

1:08:46.320 --> 1:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>fiser judge. Oh, I'd be angry as can be. And

1:08:49.439 --> 1:08:52.320
<v Speaker 1>they pulled that on him because it it is The

1:08:52.439 --> 1:08:56.040
<v Speaker 1>biggest felony is abusive power, deprivation of rights under color

1:08:56.120 --> 1:09:00.120
<v Speaker 1>of law. You cannot use your position in government to

1:09:00.280 --> 1:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>deprive somebody Carter Page and President Trump of their constitutional rights.

1:09:06.360 --> 1:09:10.040
<v Speaker 1>It's also perjury. I mean, they signed a document uh

1:09:10.520 --> 1:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>vouching for its authenticity and veracity when they knew it

1:09:13.920 --> 1:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>was a lie. Why wouldn't Sessions or Rosenstein, Why wouldn't

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>they start an investigation of this? What is stopping them? What?

1:09:22.320 --> 1:09:25.800
<v Speaker 1>It almost seems like, you know, here here, there's there

1:09:25.840 --> 1:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>are They can actually write a subpoena and mentioned crimes, crimes,

1:09:30.560 --> 1:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>they'll say they got this us. They went to a U.

1:09:33.280 --> 1:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>S attorney in Utah. That's gonna be looking at all

1:09:35.840 --> 1:09:37.479
<v Speaker 1>of this. That's what's kind of there. That's their way

1:09:37.520 --> 1:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>to handle Ahad. Yeah, I mean, and I don't have

1:09:40.520 --> 1:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>much trust in that. I don't know how you do

1:09:43.120 --> 1:09:47.479
<v Speaker 1>an investigation in Utah of people and activities that took

1:09:47.560 --> 1:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>place in Washington, d C. But nevertheless, you know, I

1:09:50.920 --> 1:09:53.479
<v Speaker 1>think Jeff Sessions, who is a very nice man, has

1:09:53.560 --> 1:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>been the most feckless Attorney general in my lifetime. You know,

1:09:58.320 --> 1:10:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's in charge. I think he's in

1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>a back room playing with legos or something. The guy

1:10:02.680 --> 1:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>who's really the Attorney General is Rod Rosenstein In he

1:10:06.920 --> 1:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>has every reason to continue to obstruct Congress high documents

1:10:12.439 --> 1:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and cover it up because he's part of the wrongdoing.

1:10:16.560 --> 1:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>He signed the fourth, the third renewal of the FISA

1:10:21.080 --> 1:10:24.439
<v Speaker 1>document knowing that he didn't have new evidence in the

1:10:24.520 --> 1:10:27.560
<v Speaker 1>law requires new evidence, and he also knew that it

1:10:27.680 --> 1:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>was Fabrica well. He also produced a memorandum recommending the

1:10:31.640 --> 1:10:34.639
<v Speaker 1>termination of James Comi. Right, talk about conflicts of interest.

1:10:34.760 --> 1:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>The federal regulations not to mention ethical rules that governed

1:10:39.240 --> 1:10:41.880
<v Speaker 1>lawyers say you cannot be a prosecutor and a witness

1:10:41.920 --> 1:10:44.519
<v Speaker 1>in the same case. The actual actual seemed to be

1:10:44.960 --> 1:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Let's say they get a little murky when

1:10:47.080 --> 1:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>it's involving this. The actual basis for the Independent Council

1:10:51.240 --> 1:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>is that memo of of Comys and the idea that

1:10:54.760 --> 1:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Comy was fired as as an obstruction of the investigation.

1:10:58.080 --> 1:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>That the best witness against that is Rhoda Stunt, who

1:11:00.680 --> 1:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>gave the President Vice a Council that he should do it.

1:11:03.000 --> 1:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>But here's the here's the thing with putting all of

1:11:05.240 --> 1:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>that aside. So if the President of the United States

1:11:07.280 --> 1:11:10.680
<v Speaker 1>desired he's going to fire the FBI director. What in

1:11:10.720 --> 1:11:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the constitution says he can't do that. In fact, the

1:11:12.680 --> 1:11:16.439
<v Speaker 1>Constitution says the opposite clauses to take care clause in

1:11:16.479 --> 1:11:20.519
<v Speaker 1>the vesting clause. Both clauses allow him to fire a

1:11:20.680 --> 1:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>political appoint to his head of a branch of the

1:11:23.320 --> 1:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>executive branch of government, of department, or agency. This is

1:11:25.920 --> 1:11:27.959
<v Speaker 1>all within the article, the Article two of the Constitution.

1:11:28.080 --> 1:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>That's right, And so Muller has no legal basis as

1:11:31.920 --> 1:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>an inferior officer to question the President of the United

1:11:35.120 --> 1:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>States about exercising his constitutional authority, so that, as you

1:11:39.760 --> 1:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>guys have pointed out, it should be off the table.

1:11:42.080 --> 1:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Isn't Rosenstein necessary witness he's been interviewed by to the

1:11:46.880 --> 1:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>firing of Comey since he recommended the firing. Yeah, absolutely,

1:11:51.040 --> 1:11:54.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a key witness. And he's actually been interviewed by

1:11:54.960 --> 1:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>his underling. Muller has interviewed his own boss, which is

1:12:00.160 --> 1:12:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Rod Rosenstein, that is. But don't worry, they also want

1:12:02.720 --> 1:12:04.719
<v Speaker 1>to interview you know, the President of the United States,

1:12:05.080 --> 1:12:07.959
<v Speaker 1>the who's the ultimate boss under Article two of the Constitution.

1:12:08.000 --> 1:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>And that goes to the second part of this, which

1:12:10.479 --> 1:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>is obviously we're going through a process here. And if

1:12:13.320 --> 1:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>you look at this, by the way, historically this is

1:12:15.080 --> 1:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the process lawyers go through when you when you're talking

1:12:17.000 --> 1:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>about interviewing the president. You know what Rudy and I

1:12:18.960 --> 1:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>have been pretty clear and what our inclinations are on

1:12:21.120 --> 1:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>all this. Ultimately that the president is going to make

1:12:23.400 --> 1:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>a decision based on legal advice, and they've got a

1:12:26.439 --> 1:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>bar that I don't think they've met. Having said that, again,

1:12:29.200 --> 1:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you look it at as a lawyer that's been practicing

1:12:31.200 --> 1:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>all a long time. Thirty eight years too young, You

1:12:36.880 --> 1:12:38.439
<v Speaker 1>don't want him. How long I've been practicing law? I

1:12:38.439 --> 1:12:41.280
<v Speaker 1>don't remember. I was back in Lincoln's era. I didn't

1:12:41.280 --> 1:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>even go to law school. So if you were in

1:12:46.280 --> 1:12:49.599
<v Speaker 1>our shoes, Greg, yeah, how would you. Well, obstruction questions

1:12:49.760 --> 1:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>are completely off the table. As for collusion, I don't

1:12:53.000 --> 1:12:57.559
<v Speaker 1>understand how Mueller has the right to question the president

1:12:58.080 --> 1:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>about a non cross time. As I pointed out repeatedly,

1:13:02.280 --> 1:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>collusion is only a crime and anti trust law. It

1:13:05.960 --> 1:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>is nowhere else than the criminal codes. Now, other people

1:13:08.120 --> 1:13:11.439
<v Speaker 1>have said, wow, it's conspiracy to defraud the government. No,

1:13:11.600 --> 1:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not that. Actually, have there has to be a

1:13:14.040 --> 1:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy to do that well, and it requires, the Supreme

1:13:17.000 --> 1:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Court says, deceat craft, trickery, and dishonesty. So sitting, for example,

1:13:21.280 --> 1:13:23.639
<v Speaker 1>in the Trump Tower and listening to a Russian lawyer

1:13:23.720 --> 1:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>provide information that in the end she never provided. How

1:13:27.160 --> 1:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>is that just something about and you know, Nancy Pelosi

1:13:31.320 --> 1:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>hauled off and said, wow, it's a clear violation of

1:13:33.880 --> 1:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>campaign laws. No, it's not. She never read the Federal

1:13:36.640 --> 1:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Campaign Election Act, which allows a foreign national to volunteer services,

1:13:41.640 --> 1:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>including information, to a political campaign. And information by itself

1:13:45.840 --> 1:13:48.479
<v Speaker 1>is not a thing of value. Because I actually argued

1:13:48.640 --> 1:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Title three of McCain fine Goal before the Supreme Court

1:13:50.800 --> 1:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, and that involved a lot of this,

1:13:53.560 --> 1:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>these issues of money and campaigns and how that worked

1:13:55.880 --> 1:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>in mind, I actually got the provision that I was

1:13:58.000 --> 1:14:01.519
<v Speaker 1>responsible for Title three struck as unconstitutional nine to zero.

1:14:01.680 --> 1:14:03.519
<v Speaker 1>You gotta look at what the law actually says, not

1:14:03.600 --> 1:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>what you wish it would say or what you hope

1:14:05.200 --> 1:14:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it would say. If you're trying to, you know, go

1:14:06.520 --> 1:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>after something. What does it actually say and what does

1:14:08.439 --> 1:14:11.479
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court presidents say? And it just does not support

1:14:11.720 --> 1:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the interpretations that some in the media have gone with

1:14:14.479 --> 1:14:17.639
<v Speaker 1>are just incorrect legally based on the Statute and certainly

1:14:17.680 --> 1:14:20.759
<v Speaker 1>based on the Constitution. But it serves the media's anti

1:14:20.880 --> 1:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Trump narrative. Their hatred for Trump is so conspicuous every day,

1:14:25.920 --> 1:14:29.519
<v Speaker 1>and their coverage of this case, they're unabashed, scorn and visceral.

1:14:29.760 --> 1:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Hatred for the president is reflected in the bias within

1:14:33.800 --> 1:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>their stories, not only how they tell the stories, but

1:14:36.120 --> 1:14:39.479
<v Speaker 1>the stories they choose to tell. I I heard uh

1:14:40.000 --> 1:14:43.519
<v Speaker 1>a media individuals say, ah, I know what it is.

1:14:43.600 --> 1:14:47.479
<v Speaker 1>It's on a services fraud. That individual never read the

1:14:47.560 --> 1:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court decision Skilling versus the States said there has

1:14:50.960 --> 1:14:53.439
<v Speaker 1>to be a briber, a kickback because the government had

1:14:53.479 --> 1:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>gone too far in making honest services just catch I

1:14:58.120 --> 1:14:59.599
<v Speaker 1>mean the whole. I mean, what are they're gonna try

1:14:59.640 --> 1:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>these novel and bizarres theories of campaign finance and obstruction,

1:15:03.920 --> 1:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna just determine, you're gonna do the test

1:15:05.800 --> 1:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>case and have the test case on the President of

1:15:07.240 --> 1:15:08.720
<v Speaker 1>United States. I don't. I don't. First of all, there

1:15:08.760 --> 1:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>will be no case. I keep saying that because that's

1:15:10.960 --> 1:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>not how this goes. President can't have a case. That's

1:15:14.120 --> 1:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>not the way it works under our system. That's not

1:15:16.400 --> 1:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the way the Department of Justice works. But the media

1:15:19.160 --> 1:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and Democrats, and I realized that's redundant um. They insinuate

1:15:24.760 --> 1:15:28.599
<v Speaker 1>a crime by using a word that connotes a crime,

1:15:28.760 --> 1:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>which is the world collusion. It just sounds in it,

1:15:32.240 --> 1:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>does you know? In fact, in my book, I quote

1:15:35.360 --> 1:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a an interview j that you did with George Stephanopolis

1:15:39.040 --> 1:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>in which you kept saying to him, but where is

1:15:41.800 --> 1:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>it in the criminal codes? And he said, oh, collusion

1:15:45.320 --> 1:15:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is conspiracy or something to that effect, without ever answering

1:15:50.120 --> 1:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>your legitimate question is wait a minute, what rule, law

1:15:54.520 --> 1:15:57.439
<v Speaker 1>or regulation has been violated here that you're colluding with?

1:15:57.760 --> 1:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Even conspiracy is not a crime. It's got to be

1:15:59.680 --> 1:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>an piracy to commit a crime. We conspire every day

1:16:03.000 --> 1:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to have a bunch of breakfast or whatever. That's not

1:16:05.240 --> 1:16:07.559
<v Speaker 1>a crime. No. But I'll tell you what's something everybody

1:16:07.640 --> 1:16:11.920
<v Speaker 1>needs your book? Well, than we've got a lot more

1:16:11.960 --> 1:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to come ahead on this. Uh. And then, by the way,

1:16:14.080 --> 1:16:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the Russia hoax, it is a great book by Greg Jared,

1:16:17.439 --> 1:16:19.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's great to be in the studio here with

1:16:19.400 --> 1:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Greg actually in the same room, not just on a

1:16:22.479 --> 1:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>TV camera remote. So all right, we're gonna take calls.

1:16:26.120 --> 1:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>We've got a lot more to discuss on the Sean

1:16:28.240 --> 1:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Hannity Show. Now that household of Joe has left the building,

1:16:37.240 --> 1:16:41.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe we can get back to bringing jobs holds, that's jobs,

1:16:42.200 --> 1:16:47.439
<v Speaker 1>j O. B. S. This is the Sean Hannity Show.

1:17:10.560 --> 1:17:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the Shawan Hannity Show. This is Jay

1:17:12.439 --> 1:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Sekulo and Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former U S Attorney, former

1:17:16.000 --> 1:17:19.360
<v Speaker 1>senior Justice Department official, in with the author New York

1:17:19.439 --> 1:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Times best selling author, number one best selling author. I

1:17:23.600 --> 1:17:25.519
<v Speaker 1>want to be very clear to Greg Jarrett, thank you

1:17:25.800 --> 1:17:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the books of the Russian Hook. I want to go

1:17:27.520 --> 1:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>right to Greg on this and then uh, Mayory you

1:17:29.840 --> 1:17:32.599
<v Speaker 1>should come into and that is, uh, we're in this now.

1:17:32.920 --> 1:17:35.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, the soap called investigation has been going on

1:17:35.560 --> 1:17:37.000
<v Speaker 1>now really for almost two years. And if you look

1:17:37.000 --> 1:17:38.320
<v Speaker 1>at just the kind of the time frame now we've

1:17:38.320 --> 1:17:41.000
<v Speaker 1>had the special counsel has been a little bit over

1:17:41.120 --> 1:17:43.479
<v Speaker 1>a year and about a year and months months. How

1:17:43.520 --> 1:17:45.400
<v Speaker 1>do you what do you think the public appetite for

1:17:45.439 --> 1:17:48.120
<v Speaker 1>this is these days really in the body politic. Well,

1:17:48.280 --> 1:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>just judging from the sales of my book, I'd say

1:17:51.000 --> 1:17:54.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's very topical and people are talking about it. Um.

1:17:55.560 --> 1:17:57.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, even if I hadn't written the book, it

1:17:57.920 --> 1:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>is still probably the most talk about news story in America.

1:18:01.920 --> 1:18:04.559
<v Speaker 1>It is day in, day out, twenty four hours a day,

1:18:04.840 --> 1:18:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, frankly, every day brings new revelations of

1:18:11.400 --> 1:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>evidence of wrongdoing and corruption on the part of the investigators.

1:18:17.120 --> 1:18:22.120
<v Speaker 1>These are the law enforcers who became themselves the lawbreakers.

1:18:22.400 --> 1:18:23.920
<v Speaker 1>You know. I think, I think to the Bruce Or

1:18:24.000 --> 1:18:25.680
<v Speaker 1>situation in great detail, I'm sure we'll do it. I

1:18:25.760 --> 1:18:28.479
<v Speaker 1>think when when the when the history that has finally written. Uh,

1:18:28.600 --> 1:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>this is the fact that they took so long is

1:18:30.240 --> 1:18:32.400
<v Speaker 1>going to hurt them because if they had, if they

1:18:32.439 --> 1:18:34.519
<v Speaker 1>had written their report three months ago, which they could

1:18:34.560 --> 1:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>have done, we had written our report and we'd be

1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:40.479
<v Speaker 1>waiting to see if Congress is going to do anything.

1:18:41.120 --> 1:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>But the revelations since I got involved with Jay. First

1:18:44.680 --> 1:18:47.400
<v Speaker 1>of all, you have the Horowitz Report, you have Peter Struck.

1:18:48.000 --> 1:18:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Now you have the whole Bruce or who knows what's next.

1:18:53.439 --> 1:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you don't know what's next. I mean that's

1:18:55.040 --> 1:18:58.400
<v Speaker 1>all unraveling and and the American public. I just looked

1:18:58.439 --> 1:19:02.280
<v Speaker 1>at the polls yesterday. The longer this goes on, the

1:19:02.400 --> 1:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>more negative the opinions are of Bob Muller and his

1:19:06.360 --> 1:19:11.639
<v Speaker 1>team of partisans. Two point swing in three months from

1:19:11.800 --> 1:19:16.559
<v Speaker 1>from trusting Muller to not uh, not trusting Trump, trusting

1:19:16.560 --> 1:19:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Trump and and because they're finally getting the message that

1:19:21.160 --> 1:19:24.400
<v Speaker 1>this is not only a team of partisans, but it

1:19:24.600 --> 1:19:30.160
<v Speaker 1>was politically motivated. You know, Mueller had three different conflicts

1:19:30.200 --> 1:19:34.839
<v Speaker 1>of interest, Rosenstein had one glaring conflict of interest. Together,

1:19:34.920 --> 1:19:38.360
<v Speaker 1>they put together a team of partisans. They sabotage the

1:19:38.439 --> 1:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>integrity and credibility of their own investigation. And as you

1:19:42.760 --> 1:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>point out, Mayor, the longer it goes on, the more

1:19:46.040 --> 1:19:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Americans are wise en up to what really happened. It

1:19:49.439 --> 1:19:52.800
<v Speaker 1>was a hoax. Yeah, yeah, it hoax. It started as

1:19:52.800 --> 1:19:55.320
<v Speaker 1>a hoax, and it just gets worse and worse and worse,

1:19:55.680 --> 1:19:59.559
<v Speaker 1>and they misconduct keeps coming out with breath taking in scope.

1:19:59.560 --> 1:20:02.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, from the beginning of this inquiry to today

1:20:02.800 --> 1:20:04.479
<v Speaker 1>and then we and we still are I mean, every

1:20:04.520 --> 1:20:07.240
<v Speaker 1>single day, it seems like there's more and more. You know,

1:20:07.479 --> 1:20:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I pointed out of the book, Uh that the FBI,

1:20:10.240 --> 1:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>when they launched its investigation of Trump and collusion. They've

1:20:15.240 --> 1:20:19.040
<v Speaker 1>violated their own FBI guidelines known as you guys know

1:20:19.160 --> 1:20:24.240
<v Speaker 1>the diogue. You've got to have articulable facts in support

1:20:24.360 --> 1:20:27.360
<v Speaker 1>of probable cause. They didn't have that. That's absolutely right.

1:20:27.400 --> 1:20:29.840
<v Speaker 1>The book is The Russian Hoax. The author is Greg Jared.

1:20:29.920 --> 1:20:34.400
<v Speaker 1>He is our friend, fellow lawyer, great legal analyst for

1:20:34.439 --> 1:20:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Fox's Great Thanks for being with us, my pleasure. We'll

1:20:36.560 --> 1:20:38.479
<v Speaker 1>be back with more. Read the book. Read the book.

1:20:38.600 --> 1:20:40.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back with more in a minute. Hi, everybody,

1:20:40.240 --> 1:20:42.479
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to the broadcast. Is Jay Sekulo and Mayor

1:20:42.560 --> 1:20:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Rudy Giuliani sitting in for our friend Sean Hannity. It's

1:20:45.280 --> 1:20:49.000
<v Speaker 1>great to be uh, co hosting my colleague. I get

1:20:49.040 --> 1:20:50.720
<v Speaker 1>to say, Kylie, I've known Rudy, We've known each other

1:20:50.760 --> 1:20:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a long time. But we are working on it. We've

1:20:52.240 --> 1:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>worked on a number of cases, but this, I would

1:20:54.000 --> 1:20:57.680
<v Speaker 1>say is the biggest in the States. I tried to

1:20:57.760 --> 1:20:59.560
<v Speaker 1>help you with Pastor Brunson a year ago. Year and

1:20:59.600 --> 1:21:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a half of this did and that yep, I hope

1:21:02.880 --> 1:21:05.080
<v Speaker 1>so God willing will be out soon. I will tell

1:21:05.080 --> 1:21:07.479
<v Speaker 1>you we're gonna talk a little bit more about that. Actually, Uh,

1:21:07.880 --> 1:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>we uh in days ahead. I am hopeful and I look,

1:21:10.800 --> 1:21:12.280
<v Speaker 1>i'll trace a little bit of that. Since you said it,

1:21:12.479 --> 1:21:14.200
<v Speaker 1>we will do it. And just let's spend a minute.

1:21:14.240 --> 1:21:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Then we'll get John Salmon on from the Hill. He's

1:21:15.680 --> 1:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>got some good news here for us. An interesting story

1:21:18.600 --> 1:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>on the pastor Brunson matter. I will tell you this.

1:21:21.000 --> 1:21:22.920
<v Speaker 1>This is a Christian pastor who's been in jail now

1:21:23.040 --> 1:21:26.439
<v Speaker 1>for it was in jail for almost eighteen months, almost

1:21:26.479 --> 1:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty I think twenty months actually, and then has been

1:21:28.880 --> 1:21:31.400
<v Speaker 1>on house arrest. But we tried to get him released

1:21:31.479 --> 1:21:34.280
<v Speaker 1>last year. It did not. We got close, but then

1:21:34.360 --> 1:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>now Turkey's feeling some real pressure. What's your quick thoughts

1:21:36.880 --> 1:21:38.360
<v Speaker 1>on that. I think the pastor he's at home arrest

1:21:38.439 --> 1:21:40.080
<v Speaker 1>right now. I think where the president is committed to

1:21:40.080 --> 1:21:43.760
<v Speaker 1>gett him home. I believe, given what's going on with

1:21:43.800 --> 1:21:47.400
<v Speaker 1>their economy, it's they're gonna crack. They're gonna have to crack.

1:21:47.720 --> 1:21:50.479
<v Speaker 1>And the reality is, you know, it's a completely contrived case.

1:21:51.080 --> 1:21:55.920
<v Speaker 1>He didn't do anything except preach Christianity in a tasteful,

1:21:56.120 --> 1:21:59.559
<v Speaker 1>decent way. Well, look, I know Mike Pompeo, the Vice president,

1:21:59.640 --> 1:22:02.360
<v Speaker 1>especially the President are working diligently on this. It's uh,

1:22:02.680 --> 1:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>look the Turkish situation right now. Their economy is hurting,

1:22:05.000 --> 1:22:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and they're hurting because they're keeping Americans held hostage, and

1:22:07.200 --> 1:22:08.880
<v Speaker 1>that's not what you're supposed to do. Let's go back

1:22:08.920 --> 1:22:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to a domestic matter. John Solomon, our friend from the Hill,

1:22:11.560 --> 1:22:14.320
<v Speaker 1>is on and John, you broke a story yesterday. We've

1:22:14.520 --> 1:22:16.439
<v Speaker 1>talked a little bit about this already in this old

1:22:16.439 --> 1:22:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Or situation. He was the number four ranking official

1:22:19.040 --> 1:22:21.400
<v Speaker 1>at the Justice Department, but you broke some new news.

1:22:21.479 --> 1:22:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Of course, he was working with Christopher Steele. Let's retrace

1:22:24.160 --> 1:22:25.760
<v Speaker 1>that person, folks. For the folks here, I think it's

1:22:25.760 --> 1:22:28.000
<v Speaker 1>important to understand this was the number four in the

1:22:28.160 --> 1:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department. His wife was working for Fusion GPS, who

1:22:32.160 --> 1:22:34.759
<v Speaker 1>had been working with Christopher Steele to put the dossier together.

1:22:34.920 --> 1:22:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Take it from there. That sounds great. I'll take you

1:22:37.080 --> 1:22:39.400
<v Speaker 1>to the exact date and time where we need to

1:22:39.439 --> 1:22:42.760
<v Speaker 1>be a December middle of December sixteen, a month after

1:22:42.880 --> 1:22:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the president has won the election. Democrats are still morning

1:22:46.760 --> 1:22:49.680
<v Speaker 1>uh beet Stroke and Lisa Page are probably still in

1:22:49.760 --> 1:22:52.519
<v Speaker 1>shock at the FBI because they're planning to stop President Trump.

1:22:52.600 --> 1:22:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Didn't work. And um the FBI has formerly fired Christopher Steele,

1:22:57.720 --> 1:23:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the British MI six intelligence agents paid by the d NC,

1:23:01.000 --> 1:23:03.160
<v Speaker 1>paid by Hillary Clinton's campaign to dig up during on

1:23:03.200 --> 1:23:06.679
<v Speaker 1>the president. He's been fired from misconduct because he spoke

1:23:06.720 --> 1:23:08.559
<v Speaker 1>to the media in the final days of the election.

1:23:09.000 --> 1:23:12.080
<v Speaker 1>As you all know, that's an illegality are not allowed

1:23:12.120 --> 1:23:15.240
<v Speaker 1>for a human intelligence source. So he's fired. And yet

1:23:15.320 --> 1:23:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Pete Roke has no way to get and hit Pece

1:23:17.479 --> 1:23:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Roke has no way to get the information from Christopher

1:23:19.640 --> 1:23:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Steel anymore. So they create an end run here they

1:23:22.520 --> 1:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>get um Bruso or the number four, a Justice Department official,

1:23:27.360 --> 1:23:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and somebody who, by the way, is not in the

1:23:29.800 --> 1:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>chain of command on the intelligence investigation associate Deputy Attorney General. Yeah,

1:23:37.840 --> 1:23:41.160
<v Speaker 1>good question is from Eric So he is the top deputy,

1:23:41.320 --> 1:23:44.519
<v Speaker 1>the Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, a woman who signed

1:23:44.560 --> 1:23:47.479
<v Speaker 1>one of those FISI warrants, by the way, and uh

1:23:47.800 --> 1:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>he is you know kind. Intelligence investigations are supposed to

1:23:50.800 --> 1:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>be left to counterintelligence prose people who do it for

1:23:53.200 --> 1:23:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a living, so you can detect deception, you can detect

1:23:56.000 --> 1:23:59.600
<v Speaker 1>efforts to deceive and and and that doesn't happen. So

1:24:00.240 --> 1:24:04.000
<v Speaker 1>as Christopher Steele starts meeting with um Bruce Or and

1:24:04.080 --> 1:24:08.439
<v Speaker 1>that information flowing in. But at this moment, Uh, Glenn Simpson,

1:24:08.520 --> 1:24:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the founder Fusion GPS, the man who the Clinton campaign

1:24:12.240 --> 1:24:14.639
<v Speaker 1>paid directly to the NC paid directing, and he hired

1:24:14.680 --> 1:24:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Steel to do the dirt digging. And by the way,

1:24:18.000 --> 1:24:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Glenn Simpson is the boss of Nellie Or Bruce Or

1:24:21.400 --> 1:24:23.599
<v Speaker 1>his wife because he had hired Nellie Or to work

1:24:23.680 --> 1:24:27.160
<v Speaker 1>on the Trump dossier. Uh. They're meeting, their meeting at

1:24:27.200 --> 1:24:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a coffee shop in Washington, d C. And they're having

1:24:30.040 --> 1:24:34.280
<v Speaker 1>this extraordinary conversation. First off, a thumb drive a memory

1:24:34.320 --> 1:24:37.000
<v Speaker 1>stick is handed to Bruce Or, according to these handwritten

1:24:37.040 --> 1:24:39.320
<v Speaker 1>notes of the meeting, and it has all of Glenn

1:24:39.360 --> 1:24:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Simpson's latest dirt on President Trump, the latest version of

1:24:42.400 --> 1:24:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the dossier, all the things that the FBI is already

1:24:45.400 --> 1:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>committed to stop collecting, right because they fired Steele. He

1:24:48.320 --> 1:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>hands them at and then they begin to have this

1:24:50.439 --> 1:24:53.040
<v Speaker 1>extraordinary discussion. And some of the stuff is you know,

1:24:53.320 --> 1:24:56.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, almost jaw dropping in and sounds like a

1:24:56.040 --> 1:24:58.160
<v Speaker 1>spy novel. They come up with these different ferries. But

1:24:58.680 --> 1:25:01.439
<v Speaker 1>one of the most important things that occurs there is that.

1:25:01.560 --> 1:25:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Glenn Simpson for the first time is recorded in written

1:25:04.640 --> 1:25:07.719
<v Speaker 1>notes saying, I know who the source of Christopher Steele

1:25:07.800 --> 1:25:09.920
<v Speaker 1>used to prove this ort to come up with all

1:25:09.960 --> 1:25:13.519
<v Speaker 1>of this collusions allegations, And he actually isn't in Moscow.

1:25:13.600 --> 1:25:16.080
<v Speaker 1>We don't have any sources in Moscow. Well, if you're

1:25:16.200 --> 1:25:18.040
<v Speaker 1>in your Russian spy case, you kind of hope you

1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>have some sources close to the alleged plot. They're not.

1:25:21.920 --> 1:25:26.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a former Russian intelligence officer in the United States

1:25:26.160 --> 1:25:29.120
<v Speaker 1>who's feeding this information. I show this to some of

1:25:29.160 --> 1:25:31.479
<v Speaker 1>the best counterintelligence professionals in the world, people who have

1:25:31.520 --> 1:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>done this for a quarter century Moore, and the first

1:25:33.800 --> 1:25:37.120
<v Speaker 1>thing I said is you know what contra intelligence professional.

1:25:37.200 --> 1:25:39.439
<v Speaker 1>The first thing they're gonna say is that's not There

1:25:39.479 --> 1:25:42.000
<v Speaker 1>are no such thing as the former Russian intelligence officers there.

1:25:42.320 --> 1:25:45.400
<v Speaker 1>That guy is working to disrupt the election. It's most

1:25:45.479 --> 1:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>likely a compliment effort to feed information to the Democrats

1:25:49.160 --> 1:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to smeyar Donald Trump, so we mess up the whole election.

1:25:51.800 --> 1:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>First thing that jumps out in the notes to the professionals,

1:25:54.720 --> 1:25:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and and then he talks about gun Steele blurts something

1:25:58.400 --> 1:26:00.840
<v Speaker 1>out and says, uh, at the end of the election,

1:26:00.880 --> 1:26:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't wait anymore. I couldn't keep this stassier secret anymore.

1:26:04.240 --> 1:26:07.719
<v Speaker 1>So I went to uh Mother Jones and David Corne

1:26:07.760 --> 1:26:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and I leaked the store and I asked for Steele

1:26:10.600 --> 1:26:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to participate in that leak, by the way, violating the

1:26:13.640 --> 1:26:17.160
<v Speaker 1>FBI's rule. And he uses this word, excuse me, you

1:26:17.240 --> 1:26:21.360
<v Speaker 1>got them fired too, firedst them right. He uses it

1:26:21.680 --> 1:26:24.759
<v Speaker 1>was a hail mary attempt. Now that's such an important

1:26:24.760 --> 1:26:26.760
<v Speaker 1>word because we know what a hail mary means. They're

1:26:26.760 --> 1:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to they're trying to make a last minute impact

1:26:29.360 --> 1:26:31.960
<v Speaker 1>on the election because it didn't go the way they fought. Well,

1:26:32.200 --> 1:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that's so important because Glenn Simpson has now testified to

1:26:35.000 --> 1:26:38.800
<v Speaker 1>two different committees, House Intelligence, House Judiciary, and he told

1:26:38.840 --> 1:26:41.360
<v Speaker 1>them the same thing. This was not about politics. I

1:26:41.520 --> 1:26:44.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't trying to influence the election. I was just trying

1:26:44.160 --> 1:26:46.680
<v Speaker 1>to be a good citizen. This was about citizenship and

1:26:46.800 --> 1:26:49.960
<v Speaker 1>reporting wrong doing. Well, if you're about citizenship and you're

1:26:49.960 --> 1:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>reporting wrongs and you think you let the FBI do

1:26:52.160 --> 1:26:54.320
<v Speaker 1>their job, but not these two guys. They go to

1:26:54.400 --> 1:26:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the media and they leak it because really their intention

1:26:57.240 --> 1:26:59.640
<v Speaker 1>is now clear they're trying to sway the election, and

1:26:59.680 --> 1:27:02.280
<v Speaker 1>they're just using the FBI as a part of the

1:27:02.360 --> 1:27:06.280
<v Speaker 1>political opposition tool that they needed. So that's the second admission,

1:27:06.439 --> 1:27:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and then the third admission is then Sinton kind of

1:27:09.240 --> 1:27:11.880
<v Speaker 1>gives us what he really thought his theory was. And

1:27:11.960 --> 1:27:14.760
<v Speaker 1>this theory is ludicrous to the people I've talked to

1:27:14.840 --> 1:27:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the intelligence community. Here's here's how the theory goes. Donald

1:27:17.960 --> 1:27:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump has had a revolving group of insiders that were

1:27:20.520 --> 1:27:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the appointment for Moscow is big conspiracy. The first guy

1:27:24.479 --> 1:27:26.439
<v Speaker 1>with Paul man Afore he got kicked out. Then it

1:27:26.520 --> 1:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>was Carter Page he got kicked out. So then it

1:27:28.280 --> 1:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>becomes Michael Cohen and and those three guys are working

1:27:31.800 --> 1:27:34.920
<v Speaker 1>in the election and coluding and conspiring and doing all

1:27:34.960 --> 1:27:36.679
<v Speaker 1>those things. We'll just think about this. There's no way

1:27:36.760 --> 1:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Moscow had three separate assets working on an operation because

1:27:40.880 --> 1:27:43.719
<v Speaker 1>it's not possible. But then you look into the facts.

1:27:43.840 --> 1:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>What why did they believe? As well? Michael Cohen's relative

1:27:47.960 --> 1:27:50.600
<v Speaker 1>did some real estate business in Moscow, and that's the

1:27:50.680 --> 1:27:52.599
<v Speaker 1>best they got to prove that Michael Cohen is there.

1:27:52.880 --> 1:27:54.640
<v Speaker 1>They say he might have been in progue. We now

1:27:54.720 --> 1:27:56.680
<v Speaker 1>know that Michael Cohen was never in proud because he

1:27:56.720 --> 1:28:03.440
<v Speaker 1>showed everybody his passport. The level of week UH doubleheads,

1:28:03.920 --> 1:28:07.960
<v Speaker 1>third source intelligence that Glenn Simpson says, the core of

1:28:08.040 --> 1:28:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the steel case and stuff that most intelligence professionals would

1:28:12.200 --> 1:28:14.880
<v Speaker 1>have laughed out of. The CIA or the FBI were

1:28:15.040 --> 1:28:17.879
<v Speaker 1>not the Pete stroke and Bruce Org of course certainly

1:28:18.200 --> 1:28:20.599
<v Speaker 1>as certainly through the system, even though it's this week

1:28:20.720 --> 1:28:24.920
<v Speaker 1>just discredited the silly of of a plot. And and

1:28:25.040 --> 1:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what we learned from these notes. And it's amazing

1:28:27.200 --> 1:28:30.479
<v Speaker 1>that it took us eighteen months for the Justice Department

1:28:30.560 --> 1:28:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to keep these from the American public, to see how

1:28:33.320 --> 1:28:36.559
<v Speaker 1>silly this case was and how politically corrupted this case

1:28:36.760 --> 1:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>was so gentle when you look at the situation, I mean,

1:28:39.280 --> 1:28:41.960
<v Speaker 1>we're into this now, you know, this inquiry as they

1:28:42.000 --> 1:28:45.600
<v Speaker 1>call it, our investigation started in We're now, you know,

1:28:45.680 --> 1:28:49.240
<v Speaker 1>more than halfway through eighteen and it seems like every

1:28:49.320 --> 1:28:51.200
<v Speaker 1>day you're every couple of days, you've got a new

1:28:51.320 --> 1:28:54.320
<v Speaker 1>story and a new report and a new UH discovery.

1:28:54.840 --> 1:28:56.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we've seen the half of it yet.

1:28:56.600 --> 1:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>What do you think, Yeah, that's a great question. I

1:29:00.120 --> 1:29:03.479
<v Speaker 1>think the most important thing that could happen before election

1:29:03.560 --> 1:29:05.800
<v Speaker 1>day was quite sankly any time for the American public.

1:29:05.920 --> 1:29:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's not even tie it to an election. The most

1:29:08.240 --> 1:29:10.479
<v Speaker 1>important thing to have happened here is what happened after

1:29:10.600 --> 1:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>nine eleven. We had adults in the intelligence community at

1:29:13.360 --> 1:29:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that moment, and after we got sucker punch and we

1:29:15.680 --> 1:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>had a horrific moment, the FBI and the CIA made

1:29:18.760 --> 1:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>a commitment. Listen, no matter how embarrassing it is, no

1:29:21.760 --> 1:29:23.519
<v Speaker 1>matter how bad it is, we're gonna put all our

1:29:23.600 --> 1:29:25.760
<v Speaker 1>chips on the table, and we're gonna let people see

1:29:25.960 --> 1:29:29.120
<v Speaker 1>what went wrong here. The American public deserves to know

1:29:29.439 --> 1:29:31.800
<v Speaker 1>what was the fi SU court told, what were the

1:29:31.880 --> 1:29:34.360
<v Speaker 1>flaws and the evidence? What things of the FBI know

1:29:34.640 --> 1:29:37.439
<v Speaker 1>that they withheld from the FISC Court. And I think

1:29:37.479 --> 1:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>if we do that, Mr Mayor was you know, an

1:29:40.000 --> 1:29:42.439
<v Speaker 1>important voice during that time for us during nine eleven

1:29:42.479 --> 1:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>of arguing for accountability. If we didn't have Mayor Giuliani

1:29:45.880 --> 1:29:47.439
<v Speaker 1>doing those sort of things, we might have not heeled

1:29:47.479 --> 1:29:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the way we did. We have to get right on

1:29:49.720 --> 1:29:51.800
<v Speaker 1>this something. We need the FBI director and the d

1:29:51.960 --> 1:29:54.240
<v Speaker 1>n I and the c I a director to let

1:29:54.360 --> 1:29:56.200
<v Speaker 1>us see what really happened here. That's not going to

1:29:56.240 --> 1:30:02.439
<v Speaker 1>compromise any cases. Why why this plexes us tremendously. Why

1:30:02.600 --> 1:30:08.400
<v Speaker 1>are our Sessions and Rosenstein covering up? Why would they

1:30:08.560 --> 1:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Why would they obstruct Congress keep this information back, not

1:30:14.560 --> 1:30:19.799
<v Speaker 1>launch a really really intense investigation. Instead of your finding

1:30:19.840 --> 1:30:23.320
<v Speaker 1>this out, they should be finding this out. Why what's

1:30:23.360 --> 1:30:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the motive? I think they may know it. And at

1:30:26.840 --> 1:30:28.719
<v Speaker 1>the end of the time, when I first came to town,

1:30:28.760 --> 1:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I met an old, wily senator named Bill Proxmire's a

1:30:31.320 --> 1:30:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Democrat from Wounsin never spent more than a thousand dollars

1:30:34.560 --> 1:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>on reelection, and he told me something that I always

1:30:37.120 --> 1:30:39.880
<v Speaker 1>thought was stuck with me all these years later. He said,

1:30:39.960 --> 1:30:43.480
<v Speaker 1>never ascribe to conspiracy. What you can explain the bureaucracy.

1:30:44.080 --> 1:30:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I think in some way the Deffice Department knows that

1:30:46.840 --> 1:30:50.280
<v Speaker 1>this is embarrassing to the institution, it's embarrassing to the

1:30:50.360 --> 1:30:52.479
<v Speaker 1>court that they might have miss led. And I think

1:30:52.479 --> 1:30:54.200
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to run out the clocks and they they

1:30:54.200 --> 1:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>don't have to go through that period of embarrassment. But hey,

1:30:56.760 --> 1:30:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the FBI had to go through nine eleven and miss it.

1:30:59.120 --> 1:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Mr seen its MAMO and the Massali memo, the FBI

1:31:03.040 --> 1:31:05.599
<v Speaker 1>will do itself in the American public a great favorite.

1:31:05.640 --> 1:31:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Say just lay the cards on the table, this is

1:31:07.960 --> 1:31:09.880
<v Speaker 1>what went right, this is what went wrong. We won't

1:31:09.920 --> 1:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>do it again. I think we all move on a

1:31:12.040 --> 1:31:14.880
<v Speaker 1>lot quicker. I think the bureaucratic instinct could protect the

1:31:14.960 --> 1:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>institution is at the heart of this keepaway game. I

1:31:18.760 --> 1:31:21.559
<v Speaker 1>really need could it? Could it also be rosen Stein's

1:31:21.600 --> 1:31:26.840
<v Speaker 1>involvement with the last Fiser application. Well that's a great question, sir.

1:31:26.920 --> 1:31:28.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's an interesting thing because in the story a

1:31:29.040 --> 1:31:32.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of days ago, I noted something very privately. Uh,

1:31:32.479 --> 1:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Rod Rosenstein sent a letter to Congress saying, hey, I testified.

1:31:36.760 --> 1:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know there was nobody in my agency that

1:31:39.960 --> 1:31:42.719
<v Speaker 1>was working on this except me. I didn't know about

1:31:42.800 --> 1:31:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Or. Well, you know, sir, because you were at

1:31:45.240 --> 1:31:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the top of the Justice Department. Ignorance is not an

1:31:48.640 --> 1:31:51.280
<v Speaker 1>excuse before the five support. It is your obligation to

1:31:51.400 --> 1:31:53.240
<v Speaker 1>know that Bruce Or was doing these things of the

1:31:53.479 --> 1:31:56.760
<v Speaker 1>FBI was withholding things before you signed the name to it.

1:31:57.120 --> 1:32:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I think Rod Rosenstein's own personal institution, his own reputation,

1:32:01.240 --> 1:32:03.479
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit in jeopardy. If we learn how

1:32:03.560 --> 1:32:06.759
<v Speaker 1>much the court might have not known about exculpatory information

1:32:06.840 --> 1:32:11.599
<v Speaker 1>and everything I hear about what's in the yeah redacted

1:32:11.640 --> 1:32:14.840
<v Speaker 1>saxons and about exculpatory information. Hey, John, let me ask

1:32:14.880 --> 1:32:16.960
<v Speaker 1>you this. You've got a piece out it's at the

1:32:17.040 --> 1:32:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Hill right now, which at and the Hill dot Com.

1:32:20.080 --> 1:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I know you've got other pieces you're working on. Folks,

1:32:22.320 --> 1:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you need to be following John Solomon. We encourage you.

1:32:24.280 --> 1:32:25.760
<v Speaker 1>And John, thanks for taking time to be with us

1:32:25.800 --> 1:32:27.560
<v Speaker 1>on the John Hennity Show. And thanks for doing the

1:32:27.600 --> 1:32:31.600
<v Speaker 1>work you're doing. John, You're doing Justice Department should be

1:32:31.640 --> 1:32:35.240
<v Speaker 1>done service to the United States. All Right, we're gonna

1:32:35.240 --> 1:32:37.960
<v Speaker 1>be back with more. God boy, we're covering a lot

1:32:38.040 --> 1:32:41.800
<v Speaker 1>of material, hero, Mr Mayor amazing. All right, hank Ty,

1:32:41.920 --> 1:32:44.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back with more in a moment. And welcome

1:32:44.400 --> 1:32:46.960
<v Speaker 1>back with a Shawan Hannity Program. And it is great

1:32:47.000 --> 1:32:49.360
<v Speaker 1>to say that. Um, I've had the chance to be

1:32:49.439 --> 1:32:52.080
<v Speaker 1>with Rudy Giuliani for hours and hours and hours over

1:32:52.120 --> 1:32:54.479
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of months, working on a case that

1:32:54.600 --> 1:32:56.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows about. But here we are in the last

1:32:56.320 --> 1:32:58.439
<v Speaker 1>segment of the Sean Hannity Show. Let me ask you this,

1:32:58.680 --> 1:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Mr Mayor, you're you're kind of in pressions here as

1:33:00.920 --> 1:33:02.960
<v Speaker 1>we are you and I say, trying to land the plane. Well,

1:33:03.000 --> 1:33:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I think my impressions are that we're we're doing fine,

1:33:05.800 --> 1:33:09.639
<v Speaker 1>and we've got to our strategy is multifaceted. We're ready

1:33:09.640 --> 1:33:12.640
<v Speaker 1>for anything. The thing about it, it's amazing, is how

1:33:12.760 --> 1:33:16.559
<v Speaker 1>much more there is to this that doesn't necessarily involve us.

1:33:16.880 --> 1:33:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Going back to the beginning of this. I think this

1:33:19.240 --> 1:33:22.840
<v Speaker 1>investigation is going to continue, but a totally different focus.

1:33:23.720 --> 1:33:27.479
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna investigate the investigators because of the irregular somebody

1:33:27.560 --> 1:33:31.800
<v Speaker 1>has to investigate this and whether it's bureaucratic protection or

1:33:32.120 --> 1:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>something worse, the just Department has really really acted, uh inappropriately,

1:33:37.040 --> 1:33:38.559
<v Speaker 1>I agree. All right, let me tell you something else.

1:33:38.800 --> 1:33:40.400
<v Speaker 1>We've had the opportunity to talk about a lot of

1:33:40.439 --> 1:33:43.800
<v Speaker 1>issues of great guests, but we've also started the broadcast with,

1:33:44.080 --> 1:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>as we always do, given you news of what's happening,

1:33:46.120 --> 1:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and we're, like I said, the Mayor and I are

1:33:48.040 --> 1:33:49.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of living it, making it and in the middle

1:33:49.840 --> 1:33:51.559
<v Speaker 1>of it. But also I don't want to forget about

1:33:51.920 --> 1:33:53.760
<v Speaker 1>something we talked about, and that is the case of

1:33:53.880 --> 1:33:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Pastor Andrew Brunson. It's a big weekend on that case.

1:33:57.240 --> 1:33:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe you've read the news of what's happening in

1:33:59.000 --> 1:34:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Turkey right now the press, and it's demanding the return

1:34:01.439 --> 1:34:03.679
<v Speaker 1>of this American pastor. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers

1:34:03.720 --> 1:34:06.800
<v Speaker 1>for him and for his family as we try to

1:34:06.920 --> 1:34:10.439
<v Speaker 1>get him returned to the United States of America. Also,

1:34:10.560 --> 1:34:12.479
<v Speaker 1>let me say this, as we look at the case,

1:34:12.560 --> 1:34:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and I know there's you know, some of you are

1:34:14.240 --> 1:34:15.960
<v Speaker 1>getting paid and some of people are getting in patient

1:34:16.000 --> 1:34:18.240
<v Speaker 1>with us, Rudy. Some people think, why can't they just

1:34:18.320 --> 1:34:20.880
<v Speaker 1>make up a decision here and just announce it. There's

1:34:20.880 --> 1:34:22.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot more to it than that. Yeah, yeah, if

1:34:22.600 --> 1:34:25.840
<v Speaker 1>we have to, if we had just acted precipitously, two

1:34:25.920 --> 1:34:28.040
<v Speaker 1>or three months ago, none of this would have come out.

1:34:29.520 --> 1:34:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Has worked in our favor here, Yeah, And look, I

1:34:32.720 --> 1:34:34.479
<v Speaker 1>think at the end of the day, the legal strategy

1:34:34.520 --> 1:34:39.200
<v Speaker 1>we've implemented is correct. I believe that the right type

1:34:39.240 --> 1:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>of uh process that we've gone through to protect the

1:34:42.640 --> 1:34:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Constitution and the integrity of the constitution Separation of Powers

1:34:46.000 --> 1:34:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Article two. That's what you do when you're representing a president,

1:34:48.800 --> 1:34:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's the highest task, I think. And you've had

1:34:51.240 --> 1:34:52.880
<v Speaker 1>some big tests, and I've had some big task but

1:34:53.040 --> 1:34:54.920
<v Speaker 1>this is the biggest test we've ever had. As lawyers

1:34:55.280 --> 1:34:57.400
<v Speaker 1>represented President, I had the opportunity a couple of times

1:34:57.400 --> 1:35:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to represent President Reagan, not this kind of thing, but

1:35:00.280 --> 1:35:03.000
<v Speaker 1>as as president. And it's it's the greatest honor in

1:35:03.040 --> 1:35:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the world too. It's a great honor to represent the

1:35:04.920 --> 1:35:07.040
<v Speaker 1>United States government. When I was in assistant U S Attourney,

1:35:07.240 --> 1:35:08.519
<v Speaker 1>I get up in front of a jury and a

1:35:08.600 --> 1:35:10.880
<v Speaker 1>pellate court and I'd say, my name is Rudolf Julianna.

1:35:10.880 --> 1:35:13.439
<v Speaker 1>I represent the United States of America. I always get

1:35:13.479 --> 1:35:16.360
<v Speaker 1>goose bumps. Always. It's like when I get when I

1:35:16.439 --> 1:35:17.880
<v Speaker 1>when they call your name to the Supreme Court of

1:35:17.880 --> 1:35:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the United States and say Mr Secular, will now hear

1:35:20.320 --> 1:35:22.599
<v Speaker 1>from you. I've done it a lot, but it doesn't change.

1:35:22.640 --> 1:35:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You still get goosebumps when they say that. I think

1:35:24.240 --> 1:35:26.880
<v Speaker 1>about that. You know, Mr Secular, the grandson of a

1:35:26.880 --> 1:35:29.240
<v Speaker 1>fruit peddler from Brooklyn that was from Russia that went

1:35:29.320 --> 1:35:32.360
<v Speaker 1>to lived they raised his family in Brooklyn, New York.

1:35:32.600 --> 1:35:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Bar peddler's uh, Barbara and Barbara and Barbara and a

1:35:36.640 --> 1:35:40.519
<v Speaker 1>tailor there. You got two grandfathers. There. You go, America

1:35:40.600 --> 1:35:42.320
<v Speaker 1>just what it is. It's absolutely great. Hey, it's been

1:35:42.360 --> 1:35:44.559
<v Speaker 1>great sitting in for Shawn, and I want to thank

1:35:44.600 --> 1:35:46.799
<v Speaker 1>the entire staff of The Shawn Hennity Show for allowing

1:35:46.880 --> 1:35:48.720
<v Speaker 1>us to do. It's always a blast. And I will

1:35:48.720 --> 1:35:52.840
<v Speaker 1>tell you this, Sean does a great service every single

1:35:53.160 --> 1:35:54.920
<v Speaker 1>day that he is on the air, and so does

<v Speaker 1>this team that he's got bringing you real news, real insight,

1:35:57.920 --> 1:36:00.680
<v Speaker 1>real information, but our pleasure. Have a great weekend. Thank you.
