Speaker 1: go to one flowers dot com, click on the radio icon,
Speaker 1: put in my last name, Hannity. All right, glad you
Speaker 1: with so much news out there, I don't even know
Speaker 1: where to begin to start here. You know, one of
Speaker 1: the most bizarre stories of the day. We'll hit it
Speaker 1: later in a program, and I'll give you a little
Speaker 1: preview now. I what is wrong with these airlines over
Speaker 1: the weekend? United We've got the n eye witness who
Speaker 1: works at Gateway pundent, the White House correspondent, Lucien Wintrich
Speaker 1: is gonna join us today. Five hours in a tarmac
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, in a plane in a tube in the
Speaker 1: in the blazing heat of Miami, and they sit there
Speaker 1: and they're trapped baking in an oven, no air conditioning, ventilation,
Speaker 1: bathrooms non operational, no water offered five hours. On top
Speaker 1: of what, we got the incident of dragging the poor
Speaker 1: guy down the aisle. Then we got the incident of
Speaker 1: what the poor woman with twins and the guy's ripping
Speaker 1: the stroller out, And then we got the airline attendant
Speaker 1: sticking his finger in the face of the guy that says, hey,
Speaker 1: be nice to the woman with twins and trying to
Speaker 1: pick a fight with the guy, and then that guy
Speaker 1: has to defend themselves. It's unbelievable. What is wrong with
Speaker 1: these people? I heard the guy settled the guy that
Speaker 1: got dragged down the aisle. I guarantee you it was
Speaker 1: a thousand times at least more than what it would
Speaker 1: have cost to give away. I'll give you ten tickets
Speaker 1: a hotel and a thousand dollars spending cash. Who wants it?
Speaker 1: They would have gotten off scott free and so much cheaper.
Speaker 1: What is wrong with people? All right, we'll get to that,
Speaker 1: and we will debate today something that should be so
Speaker 1: painfully obvious to everyone, which is all these late night
Speaker 1: comedians out there. The number of attacks we're now discovering
Speaker 1: more than ten times as many attacks aimed at Donald
Speaker 1: Trump than all of the Democrats combined during the same
Speaker 1: period recent presidents. It's umbelo, But there's something deeper and
Speaker 1: more profound than that. The level of hatred and vitriol
Speaker 1: and venom, the mean spirited nous, you know, really incest.
Speaker 1: You've got to attack the daughter, a lovely girl of
Speaker 1: the president of the United States, and you gotta do
Speaker 1: it repeatedly, and you gotta make oral sex jokes, incest
Speaker 1: quote joke. They're not jokes, they're not funny. And if
Speaker 1: any conservative ever did this to any anybody in the
Speaker 1: Obama administration, which I would find repulsive to it's if
Speaker 1: you'd never survive. Just able standard is so acute, despicable,
Speaker 1: and disgusting. Alright, Michelle Obama got credited for the first
Speaker 1: time in my adult life. I am proud of my country.
Speaker 1: My husband's winning. I don't want to hear it. I'm done.
Speaker 1: But the point is simple, she put herself on the
Speaker 1: political arena. Really, you weren't proud of America beating back Nazism, Astism,
Speaker 1: imperial Japan, all the blood sweat, American treasure, the cost
Speaker 1: for liberty and freedom of every American that fought, bled
Speaker 1: and died for the cause of freedom. That didn't make
Speaker 1: you proud of your country. Those that fought and marched
Speaker 1: and the civil rights movement didn't make you proud of
Speaker 1: your country. Those that fought for the Civil Rights Act,
Speaker 1: the Voting Rights Act, those that fought against slavery and
Speaker 1: the evil of its time, those that fought against all
Speaker 1: the evils we faced as a world. Only when Obama
Speaker 1: gets elected your husband, that's the only time you're proud. Okay,
Speaker 1: she opened herself up. I never heard, I never heard
Speaker 1: anything similar to what is being said about my Annia.
Speaker 1: She had to sue because somebody insinuated, you know, the
Speaker 1: most horrible profession in her past, which was a lie
Speaker 1: and other vicious things. You know, just in the last week,
Speaker 1: the horrible thing said about the president's daughter, who happens
Speaker 1: to be a lovely woman, a mother of three kids.
Speaker 1: You're gonna attack this woman this way, and and and
Speaker 1: and where is the outs? But where are the champions
Speaker 1: of women's rights? Where are the women's rights champions saying
Speaker 1: don't talk about the first daughter this way, don't do it.
Speaker 1: Not a peep? Was Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer,
Speaker 1: all these liberal Democrats. Where's Hillary Clinton? Why isn't Hillary
Speaker 1: Clinton tweeted out, leave at Avonka Trump alone or whatever
Speaker 1: a twitter handle happens. How about leaving her alone? How
Speaker 1: about leave at Milania Trump We're at f flotus alone.
Speaker 1: How about first lady, you got okay, you got it?
Speaker 1: How about leave the ten year old son of the
Speaker 1: president alone. How about leave the unborn child of the
Speaker 1: president's son and Lara Trump alone? How about leave Kelly
Speaker 1: and stop the vicious, vitriolic attacks against Kelly Ann. Where's
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, the champion of women's rights? Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: the same lady that took money from the Soundies. The
Speaker 1: treat women horribly and and awful, and women can't drive
Speaker 1: and the women are told how to dress, and women
Speaker 1: can't travel without a man's approval. Jason, you've gotta stop.
Speaker 1: I I don't want to hear it. Those are banned audios.
Speaker 1: And just because you're wearing your Air Force uniform today,
Speaker 1: which I think looks really cool, you still can't do it.
Speaker 1: And where we're where she took money from the Soundias
Speaker 1: gaze and lesbians are killed, they're hung, they're thrown off
Speaker 1: rules and country. She's taken millions from and and Christians
Speaker 1: and Jews are persecuted. Nobody seemed to care during the
Speaker 1: campaign except me about all these contradictions. Hillary, isn't it
Speaker 1: time for a woman to be the first time for
Speaker 1: a woman to be the president? I don't know, not
Speaker 1: maybe Ivanka over you. I'll take anybody over Hillary. At
Speaker 1: this point, they don't believe what they say. They're not
Speaker 1: champions of women's rights. If you take money from the Saundies.
Speaker 1: You know, all the talk about the Russian conspiracy. Nobody
Speaker 1: in the liberal media seems to care that Hillary gave
Speaker 1: of America's uranium so that the Clinton Foundation was kicked
Speaker 1: back millions by people surrounding the deal, or husband doubled
Speaker 1: his fees in Moscow in terms of speaking fees. Nobody
Speaker 1: cares about that. You know, I know at this point
Speaker 1: in this moment in history, and I've been appealing to
Speaker 1: you and trying to make you is key only where
Speaker 1: is possible, because I think you need to know the
Speaker 1: environment in which we conservatives on radio and the Fox
Speaker 1: News Channel work that we're monitored every day. We every
Speaker 1: single minute of this show. I know who you are
Speaker 1: and where you live. For the most part, I know
Speaker 1: the state, the city, people that I know are paid
Speaker 1: daily to monitor every minute of this radio show. By
Speaker 1: the way, what a total loser you are. You are
Speaker 1: a total loser, and you need to get a life.
Speaker 1: Go live your own life. I've got my life. Go
Speaker 1: live your life. And if you don't like what I say,
Speaker 1: just turn the dial, which we never want anybody to
Speaker 1: do it. Don't ever turn the dial in the Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity Show or Hannity on the Fox News Channel weeknights
Speaker 1: to an easter. You know, I'm just saying sort of
Speaker 1: a little hypnotic suggestion there, don't ever turn the dial.
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is, we work into these conditions.
Speaker 1: Rush works under them. Laura Ingram works under them. The
Speaker 1: great One Mark of Then works under these conditions. Any
Speaker 1: conservative on TV or radio works under these conditions. Any
Speaker 1: of us where we are, there are paid monitors in
Speaker 1: the hopes we say something wrong to take us down. Well,
Speaker 1: you you don't have to work hard to hear what
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher saying. Where are the people
Speaker 1: that want to take us down? When this is front
Speaker 1: page news and a new low that's been hit in
Speaker 1: the media. Now some of you will say to me, well, Sean,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're the one out there saying you don't
Speaker 1: support boycotts. Nope. I support freedom, freedom of speech, and
Speaker 1: I support the freedom of you, the American people, to decide.
Speaker 1: And I keep warning you that these boycotts will boomerang
Speaker 1: back against conservatives, and it will be used because it's
Speaker 1: already been used and already being used, but only against
Speaker 1: conservatives and not being used against Stephen Colbert or Bill Martin.
Speaker 1: I don't want to to be being very very clear here.
Speaker 1: I just don't watch their show. Ever. If I happen
Speaker 1: to run across it while I'm flipping the dial, I
Speaker 1: quickly move on to the next channel. I have a
Speaker 1: thousand channels on Dish TV. How I don't need. I
Speaker 1: don't need to watch something I don't like, neither do you.
Speaker 1: You're strong enough. You can press the button. It's not
Speaker 1: that hard. You can press buttons, and that's really all
Speaker 1: it takes. But I gotta tell you something. I feel
Speaker 1: sorry that the Trump family has to live through something
Speaker 1: we've never seen before. We're gonna debate that later Today's
Speaker 1: we got the airlines issue, We've got the late night
Speaker 1: you know, vile viciousness that is on steroids now that
Speaker 1: would never be tolerated if it were conservatives. We've got
Speaker 1: you know. But I'll tell you what the biggest story
Speaker 1: of the day is. The single biggest story of the
Speaker 1: day is very obvious and very clear, and that is
Speaker 1: we have the singest, single biggest news story I think
Speaker 1: in the history of this republic that is now being
Speaker 1: ignored by the mainstream media. And it's being ignored to
Speaker 1: a degree that should scare you. And the story that
Speaker 1: I'm talking about is, of course, and we had this
Speaker 1: last night John Solomon, and we've been following it and
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter Circuit News, and what do we learned last night?
Speaker 1: We learned last night that transparency reports by the Obama
Speaker 1: administration showed a massive jump and the surveillance and a
Speaker 1: masking requests of Americans. It went from six and fifty four,
Speaker 1: to be exact, We're first told it was over, now
Speaker 1: learned the underreported it's now over twenty two d unmaskings
Speaker 1: in an election year, clearly targeting conservatives, those in the
Speaker 1: Trump campaign, those Trump supporters, Republicans presidential candidates. Ram Paul
Speaker 1: asking the Intel Panel for details on any Obama ror
Speaker 1: surveillance because they can get to this. And what this
Speaker 1: means is is that by unmasking Americans, what what you
Speaker 1: have not learned in spite of everything else. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go over this in a fine tooth comb. In
Speaker 1: this hour we're watching Sally Yates testify, and all of
Speaker 1: this boulognea about blackmail and and General Flynn, they're missing
Speaker 1: the biggest point here, you know, beyond the fact that
Speaker 1: you know if Yates was so concerned about lying, she
Speaker 1: worked for Eric Holder, caught lying to Congress in the
Speaker 1: Fast and Furious scandal, and and of course we know
Speaker 1: James Clapper was called lying to Congress. A lot of
Speaker 1: lyning going on here. But the bigger story is that
Speaker 1: Sally Yates doesn't you know everything she's saying about General Flynn.
Speaker 1: We know because they surveiled him. He was picked up
Speaker 1: in an incidental legal a valance. He was illegally unmasked.
Speaker 1: The information was then the the surveillance was then leaked.
Speaker 1: In other words, raw intelligence leak for political purposes. That
Speaker 1: is a felony, that is a crime, that is a
Speaker 1: violation of the Espionage Act. And somebody at the highest
Speaker 1: levels of government had to know it. That's what makes
Speaker 1: this the biggest scandal ever. And still CNN and NBC
Speaker 1: are fixated on, oh, the Russian connection, which there's not
Speaker 1: a shred of evidence on now. Susan Rice, James Clapper,
Speaker 1: CIA director Brennan Valerie, Jarrett, Ben Rhodes, Sally Yates, and
Speaker 1: maybe President Obama need to be asked what did they
Speaker 1: know and when did they know it about this dramatic
Speaker 1: tripling of unmasking of Americans opposition party opponent connections in
Speaker 1: a presidential election year. Why do I have to be
Speaker 1: the one person just like kind of alone on an
Speaker 1: island vetting Obama. Hello, it's me ahead of the curve.
Speaker 1: This is an alert. Hannity's ahead of the curve again.
Speaker 1: Trump can win. Nobody else is believing it. I believed it.
Speaker 1: This is the biggest scandal in the history of the
Speaker 1: country unfolding before your eyes. In my opinion, pay attention
Speaker 1: to this. We'll get the details when we get back.
Speaker 1: All right, Mother's days just around the corner. The countdown

Speaker 1: our lot of stories we are covering today. Later on
Speaker 1: Airline Madness, they had people sitting in up in a
Speaker 1: in a plane for five hours on the tarmac no water,
Speaker 1: no air conditioning, no lights over the weekend, Yes, United,
Speaker 1: great job once again. We've got late night comedians so
Speaker 1: over the top. We've never seen this before, and the
Speaker 1: double standard is now being chronicled, and we have the
Speaker 1: numbers to prove it. We'll get to that. Pap you cannon.
Speaker 1: He wrote this great book. It's called Nixon's White House Wars,
Speaker 1: The Battles that made and broke a President DIVI in
Speaker 1: America forever. Wow, is this playing out on steroids again?
Speaker 1: He'll join us today. We've got Rampaul a Kentucky at
Speaker 1: the top of the next hour, and good for Senator
Speaker 1: Ram Paul. He's asking the Intel panel for details on
Speaker 1: any Obama Eero surveillance against him, other Republicans, other Congressmen,
Speaker 1: other senators, media people, the Trump campaign, the Trump transition team.
Speaker 1: It's all beginning to come to a head here. And
Speaker 1: I'll get back to that in a minute. A couple
Speaker 1: of other news items that I want to get to.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have time later. You've heard me say,
Speaker 1: after fifty eight thousand dead in Vietnam and then we
Speaker 1: pull out without winning, it's unbelievable. We send American tracer
Speaker 1: our sons and daughters to go fight, bleed and die.
Speaker 1: They do what they're told, They serve their country with
Speaker 1: honor and distinction. They're getting the job done, only to
Speaker 1: have that war politicized and we pull out for what
Speaker 1: you have to ask the what why did we do this?
Speaker 1: And then we do the same thing in Iraq and
Speaker 1: Afghanistan and you know, five thousand dead, many thousands others
Speaker 1: injured and losing their limbs and and literally disfigured fighting
Speaker 1: a war that they wanted to fight and that they
Speaker 1: did with honor and distinction. Again, the war gets politicized
Speaker 1: in Washington, and if you're the mother or father of
Speaker 1: one of these people that died in any of these conflicts,
Speaker 1: you're saying, why did I send my son or daughter
Speaker 1: to go fight for you when you had no intention
Speaker 1: of winning. So it has reconfigured my mind that I
Speaker 1: don't think with Washington we have the will to actually
Speaker 1: see any of these actions through. And if we don't,
Speaker 1: we cannot send any American to fight, bleed and die.
Speaker 1: Where you send, you offer intelligence support or other means
Speaker 1: of letting these other countries resolve their own conflicts, protect
Speaker 1: the free flow of oil until we become energy independent,
Speaker 1: thank you, Donald Trump, at market prices, and and until
Speaker 1: we no longer need to get involved, or if there's
Speaker 1: a national security imminent natural and security issue, we've gotta
Speaker 1: we obviously have to take care of it ourselves. But
Speaker 1: I'd prefer to do it being fought on a computer
Speaker 1: in Tampa and building the new wave of technology, the
Speaker 1: new the new advancement of technology that we don't have
Speaker 1: to send brave men and women so close in the
Speaker 1: harm's way again, and we're willing to invest that money.
Speaker 1: We will get there and we will be ahead of
Speaker 1: everybody else. And then when you're that strong and that tough,
Speaker 1: and you can fire fifty nine Tomahawk missiles with pinpoint accuracy,
Speaker 1: and that's that's a pretty good indication that things are
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot different than nobody's gonna mess with
Speaker 1: the US of A. As Toby Keith Song says, we'll
Speaker 1: put a boot in your ass if you dare mess
Speaker 1: with the old US of A. And it's not a joke.
Speaker 1: We've got to protect liberty and freedom because there are
Speaker 1: those that want to caliphate, want to advance this rigid, sick,
Speaker 1: twisted ideology of radical Islam where you convert or you die,
Speaker 1: and no problem strapping bombs on innocent children to go
Speaker 1: kill and other innocent men, women and children to go,
Speaker 1: you know, in the name of Allah. So you get
Speaker 1: seventy two virgins in heaven. By the way, in case
Speaker 1: you didn't notice, Isis released a video of a Russian
Speaker 1: intelligence officers beheading. I've urged people, if you can handle it,
Speaker 1: if you can stomach it, that's evil in our time.
Speaker 1: That is watching on a on a very small scale,
Speaker 1: what is becoming a modern day holocaust, one person at
Speaker 1: a time, or line up people on the beach, simultaneous beheadings.
Speaker 1: That is evil, like Nazi Germany, evil in our time.
Speaker 1: You don't think it can happen again. I wrote a book,
Speaker 1: Deliver Us from Evil. I don't I probably can't even
Speaker 1: get it in a fifty cent pin now. But in
Speaker 1: that book, I chronicle under million human souls killed in
Speaker 1: the last hundred years alone human history. Evil exists, and
Speaker 1: it just takes and manifests in a different form. Or
Speaker 1: is m fascism, Nazism, communist him you've heard me discuss this. Now.
Speaker 1: With that said about Afghanistan and Vietnam, President Trump made
Speaker 1: a decision today on the rules of engagement about Isis
Speaker 1: that has Isis now on the run in Iraq. We've
Speaker 1: got a chance to recapture that ground that Obama lost
Speaker 1: because he pulled out for political purposes. But he's doing
Speaker 1: something different, and he just did something that Obama was
Speaker 1: never willing to do. A recognize his radical Islam and
Speaker 1: be Obama clearly had no intention of fighting radical Islam
Speaker 1: because he wouldn't even say the words radical Islam. But anyway,
Speaker 1: as Washington Post points out, Trump has approved a plan
Speaker 1: directly to arm the Kords in the north in northern
Speaker 1: Iraq their forces fighting in Syria and Iraq as part
Speaker 1: of a US military plan to capture Rocca and Also
Speaker 1: which is a Syrian city that is the Islamic states
Speaker 1: de facto capital, and the Pentagon spokesman said that the
Speaker 1: President made the decision today or yesterday and described the
Speaker 1: Kurdish People's Protection Units as the only force on the
Speaker 1: ground that can successfully win in the near future, and
Speaker 1: he said no details of the kind of weaponry that's
Speaker 1: going to be provided to Curtis Kurdish men and women
Speaker 1: that are fighting and that dominates a diverse group of
Speaker 1: fighters known as the Syrian Democratic Forces. They've emerged as
Speaker 1: the US's premier partner against the Islamic State. So neither
Speaker 1: the Trump administration or Barack Obama before it had made
Speaker 1: any secret of their intention uh to give the Syrian
Speaker 1: Kurds a primary role in in fighting this war anyway.
Speaker 1: So if we're going to fight, let them fight. It
Speaker 1: directly impacts them. And that's why, like I like what
Speaker 1: the President is doing with North Korea. We're now deploying
Speaker 1: missile defense. That's important. If it gets to the point
Speaker 1: we have to stop i cb M from being made
Speaker 1: and married to Kim Jong UN's new lear weapons that
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton allowed him to get. Then at least if
Speaker 1: they do fire a nuclear weapon at Seoul, South Korea, Japan,
Speaker 1: or even China, we might be able to save hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of not millions of lives. We might be
Speaker 1: able to But once you allow a rogue regime with
Speaker 1: the chubby despot like Kim Jong un to have these weapons,
Speaker 1: because you capitulate and you appease and you I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get billions of dollars. And they problem is not to
Speaker 1: build a nickular weapon. And I can assure you the Merran. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna happen. It happened. It's like this bad
Speaker 1: Iranian deal is gonna bite us in the backside ten
Speaker 1: times over his news about that. Today in the Washington
Speaker 1: Free Beacon, a RAN's quest to develop the capability to
Speaker 1: hit the US with nuclear weapons continues unabated. The Free
Speaker 1: Beacons reporting that Iran is launching two new domestic satellites
Speaker 1: into space, according to an announcement by Iranian military leaders. Now,
Speaker 1: according to you US national security insiders, well, they actually
Speaker 1: believe this is a move to test fire advanced intercontinental
Speaker 1: ballistic missile technology that could be used as part of
Speaker 1: a RAN's nuclear weapons program, so that they ever get
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, they'll now have the means of reaching the
Speaker 1: continental United States. And by the way, they already have
Speaker 1: the means of reaching Israel and wiping them off the
Speaker 1: face of the earth, which is something that they frequently
Speaker 1: claimed they want to do, which is again evil in
Speaker 1: our time, which is why this alliance, the faster we
Speaker 1: we build on what has happened as a result of
Speaker 1: Obama's Iranian deal, and and the Saudis, who I still
Speaker 1: find corrupt in the Egyptians Jordanians, the Israelis, the Emirates,
Speaker 1: and the US, and say Great Britain, if we form
Speaker 1: an alliance take out a RAN's nuclear sites sooner, it's better.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be for the free world. So let me
Speaker 1: get to the Sally Yates issue. Remember this is all
Speaker 1: about the Fourth Amendment to our Constitution, the right of
Speaker 1: the people that means you to be secure in your
Speaker 1: person's houses, papers effects against unreasonable search and seizure shall
Speaker 1: not be violated. No warrants shall issue but for probable cause,
Speaker 1: supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
Speaker 1: to be searched, in the persons or things to be seized. Now,
Speaker 1: what have we learned. We've learned a lot. This is
Speaker 1: the biggest story historically in this republic, and it's being
Speaker 1: ignored by the media. Look at what John Solomon and
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter are saying to you. If you do a
Speaker 1: big deeper dig dive into what happened in the years
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen and the year's twenty sixteen, the number in
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen of umaskings was six hundred and fifty four. Well,
Speaker 1: that's what the Obama administration reported in twenty six it
Speaker 1: was much higher. Now, all of these amaskings, you know,
Speaker 1: we're happening in a political environment here, so they underreported
Speaker 1: the number. Now we're finding out that it's over. We
Speaker 1: don't know how many. And then you've got Sally Yates. Okay,
Speaker 1: so General Flynn was was incidentally surveiled because the intelligence
Speaker 1: community was doing their job and they were digging up
Speaker 1: intel on the Russian ambassador. It's not a crime for
Speaker 1: General Flynn to be talking to his future, you know,
Speaker 1: counterpart in Russia. That's actually normal. Now here's the interesting part.
Speaker 1: Once they surveiled the Russian ambassador incidentally pick up Flynn,
Speaker 1: why did they unmask him and identify him? What did
Speaker 1: he say? Why did they pick up that intelligence and
Speaker 1: then use it to get him fired? Why did they
Speaker 1: then leak? I think it was the Washington Post. I
Speaker 1: believe that first had the story who broke the law
Speaker 1: and not only unmasked him but then leaked the intelligence
Speaker 1: that was involved in this. All of this is a crime.
Speaker 1: And Sally Yates testifies the FBI hasn't even questioned her
Speaker 1: about the Flynn leak. Now she's telling the truth. You know,
Speaker 1: there's something deeply pervasively wrong in the FBI, in the
Speaker 1: Deep state. The deep state is up to their eyeballs
Speaker 1: and all of this because it shows that Comey could
Speaker 1: care less about the only real clime crime we know about,
Speaker 1: which is against General Flynn. And it shows that the
Speaker 1: umasking of his name and the leaking of his identity
Speaker 1: to the media, that's all a crime. And Sally Yates
Speaker 1: is saying, and James Clapper yesterday that the FBI showing
Speaker 1: no interest in the felony committed here. It's like they
Speaker 1: seemed to show no interest in Hillary's illegal server to
Speaker 1: circumvent oversight of Congress their constitutional authority by putting a
Speaker 1: putting a server in a mom and pop shop bathroom
Speaker 1: closet with top secret information and special access program the
Speaker 1: highest level of top secret information on the computer. And
Speaker 1: Clapper detailed also the intelligence communities on masking spree. And
Speaker 1: what he did was he went further than ever before
Speaker 1: in his description of the Obama administration's decision to ramp
Speaker 1: up their unmasking procedures. Remember the two weeks before Obama leaves,
Speaker 1: he changed the Executive Order twelve Triple three, which allows
Speaker 1: sixteen other agencies to get ahold of this intelligence that
Speaker 1: nobody else fired too two weeks before him leaving had
Speaker 1: access to and Clapper said, the term of masking is
Speaker 1: often misunderstood. It's important to know the context. There are
Speaker 1: cases when fully understand the context of the communication that
Speaker 1: has been obtained and the threat that it has posed,
Speaker 1: the consumer of the collected intelligence may ask the identity
Speaker 1: of the US person to be revealed. Such requests explain
Speaker 1: why the unmasking is necessary, and that explanation is conveyed
Speaker 1: back to the agency that collected the information. He said,
Speaker 1: it's up to the agency whether to approve the request
Speaker 1: and provide the identity. Clapper added, the identity of the
Speaker 1: unmasked person being investigated is only revealed to the official
Speaker 1: who requested it, not a broader audience. Okay, who requested
Speaker 1: General Flynn's unmasking then, because that would be the guy
Speaker 1: that leaked it. If what Clappers saying is true, the
Speaker 1: process of Subject Oversight, Reporting and in the Interest of
Speaker 1: Transparency by former office published as a report on the
Speaker 1: statistics of how many US persons were unmasked in That
Speaker 1: number was dred and thirty four, but we believe it
Speaker 1: was higher than that. The identities of U s citizens
Speaker 1: permanent residents were found in three thousand nine fourteen intelligence
Speaker 1: reports the n s A distributed last year. Why why
Speaker 1: because you better have a justification. And then Clapper torpedo
Speaker 1: the seventeen intelligence agency talking point. This is in bright part.
Speaker 1: They're in the hitting there in the hearings. You know,
Speaker 1: the talking point that seventeen federal agencies have concluded that
Speaker 1: Russia interfered with the presidential election. That was a sucking point.
Speaker 1: We have seventeen intelligence agency, civilian and military Hiller, he said,
Speaker 1: we've all concluded these that these espionage attacks, cyber attacks
Speaker 1: came from the highest levels of the Kremlin. Did anyone
Speaker 1: notice the Clapper yesterday said, as you know, the i
Speaker 1: C was a coordinated product from three agencies, not seventeen
Speaker 1: c I A, n S A, FBI, Not all seventeen
Speaker 1: components of the intelligence community. Oh. Later in the hearing,
Speaker 1: Clapper corrected al Franken when Franken claimed all seventeen agencies
Speaker 1: concluded Russia attempt to influence the election. Is NBC and
Speaker 1: CNN and New York Time is going to retract that.
Speaker 1: I wish I had time. But Ted Cruz just pummeled
Speaker 1: this poor lady yesterday and and by the way, so
Speaker 1: did John Cornyn. And you know, the laws are very clear.
Speaker 1: Nobody seems to care. This is so bigger than Watergate.
Speaker 1: You know how I was ahead of the curve on Obama.
Speaker 1: Mom My head of the curve here, stay with me.
Speaker 1: I have more insider information than anybody you know on
Speaker 1: radio or TV. Right now. That's all I can say,
Speaker 1: which is why I'm being people trying to take me down,
Speaker 1: which is why I'm under attack, which is why I
Speaker 1: better listen to Chuck Schumer said, oh, they'll get you
Speaker 1: six ways in Sunday. Well, I respect the intelligence community.
Speaker 1: I don't respect the people that didn't respect the laws,
Speaker 1: which is only a half of one percent likely. Alright,
Speaker 1: So I have insomnia, but I've never slept better. And
Speaker 1: what's changed just a pillow. It's had such a positive
Speaker 1: impact on my life. And of course I'm talking about
Speaker 1: my pillow. I fall asleep faster, I stay asleep longer.

Speaker 1: we come back. Ram Paul the Senator from Kentucky, he
Speaker 1: wants the Intel Panel to give details on Obama error surveillance,
Speaker 1: probably against him, other candidates, Trump, the campaign, the Transition, oh,
Speaker 1: and conservatives in the media. We'll get to that path you.
Speaker 1: Cannon also checks in today we got airline horror stories.
Speaker 1: Another one from the weekend. Five hours in the hot tarmac,
Speaker 1: no air conditioning on water in Miami and then the
Speaker 1: vicious this of late night television. Wow what a day, Shawn,
Speaker 1: if you want to join us. There are cases when
Speaker 1: to fully understand the context of the communication that has
Speaker 1: been obtained or the threat that is posed, the consumer
Speaker 1: of that collected intelligence may ask the identity of the
Speaker 1: U S person be revealed. Such requests explain why the
Speaker 1: unmasking is necessary, and that explanation is conveyed back to
Speaker 1: the agency that collected the information. It is then up
Speaker 1: to that agency whether to approve the request and to
Speaker 1: provide the identity, and if U S person's identity is revealed,
Speaker 1: that identity is provided only to the person who properly
Speaker 1: requested it, not to a broader audience. This process is
Speaker 1: subject to oversight and reporting and an interest of transparency.
Speaker 1: My former office publishes a report on the statistics of
Speaker 1: how many US person's identities are on masked based on
Speaker 1: collection that are heard under sex and seven or two
Speaker 1: of the Five Amendment Act, which I'll speak to in
Speaker 1: a moment, and in sixteen that number was one thousand,
Speaker 1: nine thirty four. On several occasions during my six and
Speaker 1: a half years as d n I, I requested the
Speaker 1: identity of US persons to be revealed. In each such instance,
Speaker 1: I made these requests so I can fully understand the
Speaker 1: context of the communication and the potential threat being post
Speaker 1: At no time did I ever submit a request for
Speaker 1: personal or political purposes or to vore heuristically look at
Speaker 1: raw intelligence, Nor am I aware of any instance of
Speaker 1: such abuse by anyone else. Mr Clapper and mich Yates said,
Speaker 1: did either of you ever requests the unmasking of Mr Trump,
Speaker 1: his associates, or any member of Congress? Um. Yes, in
Speaker 1: one case I did that I can. I can, but
Speaker 1: I can't discuss with any futher than that. You can't.
Speaker 1: So if I ask you for details, you said you
Speaker 1: can't discuss that is that what you said? Not not here? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, glad to know what us our two of
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. That was James Clapper testifying before
Speaker 1: this committee in the last two days. Now. He did
Speaker 1: say one thousand, nine thirty four American citizens were a mask.
Speaker 1: We believe the numbers higher according to Circuit News over
Speaker 1: let's put that aside. Well, that would be up from
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty four in twenty fifteen. Why were
Speaker 1: there why did we have a tripling of the number
Speaker 1: of people unmasked in this country in a one year
Speaker 1: period of time, and it just happens to coincide with
Speaker 1: an election year, and the unmasking happens to seemingly be
Speaker 1: related to all things Trump associates and Republicans in the
Speaker 1: House and the Senate. Now, that is a question that
Speaker 1: needs to be answered. Either we had such an increase
Speaker 1: in the need for monitoring and the need for surveillance
Speaker 1: that all these other Americans were caught up an incidental
Speaker 1: surveillance and then consequently and subsequently unmasked, Well, we gotta
Speaker 1: we don't have answers to any of this. And of course,
Speaker 1: on top of that, Chuck Grassley gets Clapper to admit
Speaker 1: that the amasking of Trump or one of his associates
Speaker 1: just you know, or a member of Congress. Okay, how
Speaker 1: deep does this go? Let me add one thing before
Speaker 1: we get the senator rampole. The Fourth Amendment originally enforced
Speaker 1: the notion that each man's home is his castle. Sounds
Speaker 1: like Ralph Kramton and the Honeymooners, But you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. In other words, secure from unreasonable searches and
Speaker 1: seizures of property, by the government protecting against arbitrary assets,
Speaker 1: and is the basis of the law regarding search warrants,
Speaker 1: stopping frisk, safety inspections, wire taps, and any other former surveillance,
Speaker 1: as well as being central to many other criminal law
Speaker 1: topics and privacy law. But the Fourth Amendment is clear
Speaker 1: the right of the people, that would be we the people,
Speaker 1: to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects
Speaker 1: against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and
Speaker 1: no warrant shaw issue, but upon prob doable cause, supported
Speaker 1: by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to
Speaker 1: be searched in the persons or things to be seized. Now.
Speaker 1: Senator Ram Paul released a bombshell on Friday asking the
Speaker 1: Intelligence Panel for details on any Obama error surveillance and
Speaker 1: is has very strong belief that he himself might have
Speaker 1: been surveiled and unmasked, and the senator from the great
Speaker 1: state of Kentucky joins us, how are you very good, John?
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. By the way, there's been reports
Speaker 1: that has happened to me. I have no idea if
Speaker 1: it's true or not. When you're looking at for yourself,
Speaker 1: would you mind you know, checking on good old Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity in the process. Well, the interesting thing is, it's
Speaker 1: not just about me. It's about millions of Americans whose
Speaker 1: phone calls are caught up in this. And you're right.
Speaker 1: The Fourth Amendment said that the government can look at
Speaker 1: your phone conversations, your phone metadata, and your papers in
Speaker 1: your house, but only when they go to an independent judge,
Speaker 1: when they get a warrant with your name on it.
Speaker 1: Right now, what we're doing the intelligence community is is
Speaker 1: vacuuming up all of the phone records on every phone
Speaker 1: call that goes overseas, and then they have these huge
Speaker 1: databases that they're searching. So I've asked them, did they
Speaker 1: search did anybody in the evolved administration search my name?
Speaker 1: Did any of them unmask me? And they're supposed to
Speaker 1: be some kind of protection for people in the legislature
Speaker 1: because this is the executive branch buying on Congress. So
Speaker 1: we don't want that to happen because they could use
Speaker 1: it to blackmail people or to ruin people like they
Speaker 1: did General Flynn. So you don't want the government to
Speaker 1: add his power without a warrant. There's something called a
Speaker 1: Gates Notification eight members of Congress are notified. It are
Speaker 1: supposed to be notified if any member of Congress is surveilled.
Speaker 1: UM Number one. They shouldn't be surveyors surveilling us. They
Speaker 1: shouldn't be listening to our conversations. But if they did,
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be some kind of protection. No one's
Speaker 1: ever notified me that I was, but I have specifically
Speaker 1: and formally asked the intelligence committees, Um, was there a
Speaker 1: Gates notification? Because if there wasn't, maybe it didn't happen,
Speaker 1: But it also could be maybe the surveillance of the
Speaker 1: surveillance the watchers of the watchers, maybe you're not watching
Speaker 1: closely enough. Let me just give you the numbers that
Speaker 1: that CIRCA is reporting and and even the Clapper acknowledged
Speaker 1: in these hearings, and that is from the n s A.
Speaker 1: In other words, the number of unmasking requests that were
Speaker 1: granted by the n s A from fifteen to twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Now he's saying nineteen hundred and fifty four. I believe something,
Speaker 1: but that's up from six hundred and fifty four. And
Speaker 1: now now I'll explain to the audience. You can explain
Speaker 1: in your own words if somebody is picked up on
Speaker 1: a legitimate surveillance mission and where they're surveilling in the
Speaker 1: case of Mike Flynn, the Russian ambassador, and it's an
Speaker 1: incidental pickup of an American because they don't have a
Speaker 1: warrant to wire tap or surveill on American citizen without
Speaker 1: probable cause. That's where the Fourth Amendment comes in. They're
Speaker 1: supposed to be a process called minimization. And I am
Speaker 1: told by Devin Nunez, who is the head of the
Speaker 1: Intel Committee in the House, that they're supposed to also
Speaker 1: when they write up any American then not supposed to
Speaker 1: identify the American, and they only refer in the report
Speaker 1: to a American And to then go out and request
Speaker 1: at the top levels of the intelligence community who those
Speaker 1: individuals are that were caught up an incidental surveillance is
Speaker 1: very unusual, but this seems to have become standard operating
Speaker 1: procedure in an election year, impacting all of those around
Speaker 1: the president and all of those like yourself in the
Speaker 1: Republican Party and those running for president. And there have
Speaker 1: been former members of the National Security Council have said
Speaker 1: that they never unmasked anybody. So if Susan Rice was
Speaker 1: going along unmasking people and the Trump administration or the
Speaker 1: upcoming Trump administration. It's a little bit of a stretch
Speaker 1: for her to try to prove that this was not political,
Speaker 1: since it isn't really part of her job. Now she says, oh,
Speaker 1: I was investigating the Russian connection. That's not her job either.
Speaker 1: That's the FBI's job if there is such a problem.
Speaker 1: But you have to realize that for all of this
Speaker 1: breathless stuff all over the networks talking about General Flynn,
Speaker 1: that what they did to General Flynn was illegal and
Speaker 1: what he did and it was a it was a
Speaker 1: it was a without question of crime and a felony.
Speaker 1: But to tell you the truth, everything they're accusing Flynn
Speaker 1: of discussing sanctions with the Russians is not a crime.
Speaker 1: You can say it's inadvisable. You can say should have
Speaker 1: been more forthcoming with the Trump administration, that's why he
Speaker 1: was let go. But you can also say that it
Speaker 1: is absolutely against the law to listen to conversations of
Speaker 1: high ranking This means they could be listening to the
Speaker 1: President when he talks to the Russian ambassador. Are we
Speaker 1: really going to let the intelligence community have the power
Speaker 1: to listen to the president and then blackmail or try
Speaker 1: to ruin the president. We cannot have a rogue intelligence
Speaker 1: community that can do whatever they want. They have to
Speaker 1: be reined in. And most of the media, because they
Speaker 1: hate Trump so much, are unwilling to look at the biggest,
Speaker 1: hugest scandal right in front of their nose, and that
Speaker 1: is spying on Americans and then basically ruining them by
Speaker 1: releasing it to the media. How big do you think
Speaker 1: this is and how high? For example, Susan Rice won't testify.
Speaker 1: That should disturb everybody. But then you've got Clapper, who
Speaker 1: I think is not being asked the right questions. And
Speaker 1: Brennan needs to be sat down, and Comey needs to
Speaker 1: be sat down, and Jarrett needs to be sat down,
Speaker 1: and Rhods needs to be sat down, and ultimately Obama
Speaker 1: needs to be sat down. And will only I think
Speaker 1: you'll only get to the bottom of this if you
Speaker 1: request information from all three branches of government. So on
Speaker 1: my request to know whether or not the intelligence community
Speaker 1: was unmasking or queerying my name, We've asked the House
Speaker 1: Intel Committee, the Senate Intel Committee, but I've also asked
Speaker 1: the White House because they have access to the logs
Speaker 1: of the previous White House. I think there are many
Speaker 1: people in government that will do anything they can to
Speaker 1: protect the enormous powers of the Intelligence Committee, even if
Speaker 1: it means your privacy has traveled upon. This is such
Speaker 1: a grave, you know, invasion of our privacy that we
Speaker 1: have to we have to be concerned with this. Ron
Speaker 1: Widden and I have been talking about backdoor searches for
Speaker 1: a year. Is now that as many as a million
Speaker 1: Americans can have their phone conversations recorded in a backdoor
Speaker 1: fashion or their metadata collected in a backdoor fashion. And
Speaker 1: this can be many innocent, mostly innocent Americans who just
Speaker 1: senator phone call with a foreigner. I've had on this
Speaker 1: program numerous times. Bill Benny, he was a whistle blower
Speaker 1: at the ns A thirty plus years of service. And
Speaker 1: he said to me, you correct him if he's wrong.
Speaker 1: Every phone call, every text, every email is picked up
Speaker 1: and collected and metadata stored in places like Salt Lake City.
Speaker 1: And realized that is that true? Realized that if you
Speaker 1: cross them, you're a target? Is that true? Yet? Well,
Speaker 1: for a while we were collecting it all I'm putting
Speaker 1: in Utah now they're uh not collecting it. They they're
Speaker 1: not supposed to be collecting it under one particular part
Speaker 1: of the intelligence law. But there's another part of the
Speaker 1: intelligence law called twelve three three three twelve triple three.
Speaker 1: Under that part of the guys, I think you may
Speaker 1: be right, but they won't tell me. They won't tell
Speaker 1: any representatives other than about people what they're doing. Twelve
Speaker 1: triple three is the Executive of Order that two weeks
Speaker 1: before Obama left office, he expanded its powers so that
Speaker 1: the intelligence can be shared with sixty and other agencies,
Speaker 1: which then makes it that more likely impossible they can
Speaker 1: leak it without getting caught. Ran Paul, stay right there.
Speaker 1: We gotta take a break. We'll come back more with
Speaker 1: the senator from Kentucky. Well also ask him about healthcare
Speaker 1: and the economy and much much more. Uh. And the president,
Speaker 1: by the way, arming the Kurds, which is some big
Speaker 1: news today right as we continue with Senator Rand Paul.
Speaker 1: And Senator Paul has gone out there. He's requesting information
Speaker 1: on whether or not Obama his administration. And that would
Speaker 1: mean Susan Rice and James Clapper and Brennan and call
Speaker 1: me and Jared and Rhodes and maybe others were responsible
Speaker 1: for surveillance. You know, you said something pretty scary in
Speaker 1: the last segment, and I let it go, and I
Speaker 1: need to pick up on it. He said, Oh, you
Speaker 1: better not talk about the intelligence agency because they'll come
Speaker 1: after you. Now here's my question, because Chuck Schumer said
Speaker 1: the same thing to to President Trump. Now, I happen
Speaker 1: to respect the intelligence community, and I were back to
Speaker 1: honor the work that they do. It's so key to
Speaker 1: our national security and defense. But I'm only critical of
Speaker 1: people that may have abused the power that we give
Speaker 1: them and violated the law. And you're suggesting, as his
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, that if you speak out against the abuse
Speaker 1: of a law or the misuse of intelligence gathering, that
Speaker 1: somehow you become a target. Am I reading you right
Speaker 1: on it? I think President Trump and General Flynn were
Speaker 1: both critics of the intelligence community, and I think that
Speaker 1: the intelligence community took Flynn down. Flynn did not, to
Speaker 1: anybody's account, so far, break any law. He talked about
Speaker 1: sanctions with the Russians in a private phone call. It's
Speaker 1: not against the law. You can say should or shouldn't
Speaker 1: have You can disagree with lessening or increasing sanctions. But
Speaker 1: it's not against the law for the incoming National Security
Speaker 1: Council chair to talk to someone about public policy. It's
Speaker 1: just not against the law. But they took him down
Speaker 1: and they found out that he was So wait a minute,
Speaker 1: what you're saying is what Chuck Schumer said. Let me
Speaker 1: remind people what Chuck sup as an elect latest latest
Speaker 1: unsolicited announcement on the intelligence community. This was history just
Speaker 1: a little while ago tonight, and you see the scare
Speaker 1: quotes there. The intelligence briefing on so called Russian hacking
Speaker 1: was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build
Speaker 1: a case. Very strange. He's taking these shots, antagonisms, taunting
Speaker 1: to the intelligent. You take on the intelligence community, they
Speaker 1: have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.
Speaker 1: So even for a practical, supposedly hard nosed businessman, he's
Speaker 1: being really dumb to do this. What do you think
Speaker 1: the intelligence community would do if they were I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I from what I am told, they are very
Speaker 1: upset with how he has treated them and talked about them. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's basically saying that they will crush you
Speaker 1: if you have if you express your first Amendment right,
Speaker 1: that maybe some people misuse their power, that that that
Speaker 1: admission by Schumer is truly alarming. It alarms even me
Speaker 1: because I tend to believe that. But here's a guy
Speaker 1: who's one of the privileged eight. Only eight people in
Speaker 1: Congress are allowed to know most of the things that
Speaker 1: go on in our intelligence community. And he's willing to
Speaker 1: admit that it's very, very dangerous to go against the
Speaker 1: intelligence community that worries me for my country, that they've
Speaker 1: gotten so much power that it's out of hand. The
Speaker 1: second branch of government, really, depending on how you look
Speaker 1: at the first branch of government, Congress is supposed to
Speaker 1: oversee the executive branch. And so what we're supposed to
Speaker 1: do is to say, no one can get that much power.
Speaker 1: And I'm like you, I don't doubt most of the
Speaker 1: people's patriotism. The people in the intelligence community want what's
Speaker 1: best for our country and are protecting it. But in
Speaker 1: their fervor, could they let their guard down and not
Speaker 1: be objective about civil librities in the Bill of Rights
Speaker 1: absolutely doesn't have to be at the highest levels. Though
Speaker 1: this is not a low level and s a person
Speaker 1: this is this is a top level person has to
Speaker 1: be Here's the problem. We're talking about unmasking. When the
Speaker 1: information comes in as raw data, it's not mask at all.
Speaker 1: Most of the FBI is able to see that. So
Speaker 1: let's say there's just one bad apple over there who
Speaker 1: hates Trump and he sees something that is raw data
Speaker 1: and Americans names are listed in it when it gets
Speaker 1: put in an intelligence report. What if that person tips
Speaker 1: off Susan Rice, and Susan Rice says, m M, maybe
Speaker 1: I should ask to unmask this one. That may well
Speaker 1: have been what happened. And the rumors are that what
Speaker 1: happened is that she was tipped off to ask for
Speaker 1: the unmasking on Flynn and others, and so she won't testify,
Speaker 1: so we don't know if she did the unmasking. She
Speaker 1: swears she didn't release it to the media. I don't
Speaker 1: believe that she talked to release it to the media.
Speaker 1: I listen, that had to come from the top level.
Speaker 1: We're not going to let go. And I guess you know,
Speaker 1: my life is about to be ruined or potentially according
Speaker 1: to Chuck Schumer, because they'll get me six ways in Sunday.
Speaker 1: But I'm just want to get to the truth and
Speaker 1: and we have constitutional rights, Senator, and we got to
Speaker 1: protect him. Thank you, my friend, and we'll continue to
Speaker 1: follow this story. It's unbelievable, Senator ram Paul. The Great
Speaker 1: State of Kentucky. One Shawn is a toll free telephone number.
Speaker 1: When we come back, news, round up, information overload, our
Speaker 1: holding them accountable. Sean gets the answers no one else does.
Speaker 1: America deserves and know the truth about Congress. I don't
Speaker 1: mean to interrupt you, but this is important to me.
Speaker 1: How did the conversation between the Russian ambassador and Mr
Speaker 1: Flynn make it to the Washington Post? Which one of us?
Speaker 1: You ask? That's a great question all this I would
Speaker 1: like to know that I don't. I don't know the
Speaker 1: answer to that, nor do I know the answer to that.
Speaker 1: UM we told him. The third reason was this because
Speaker 1: we were concerned that the American people had been misled
Speaker 1: about the underlying conduct and what General Flynn had done.
Speaker 1: And additionally that we weren't the only ones that knew
Speaker 1: all of this, that the Russians also knew about what
Speaker 1: General Flynn had done, and the Russians also knew that
Speaker 1: General Flynn had misled the Vice President and others, because
Speaker 1: in the media accounts it was clear from the Vice
Speaker 1: President and others that they were repeating what General Flynn
Speaker 1: and had told them, and that this was a problem
Speaker 1: because not only did we believe that the Russians knew this,
Speaker 1: but that they likely had proof of this information, and
Speaker 1: that created a compromise situation, a situation where the National
Speaker 1: Security Advisor essentially could be blackmailed by the Russians. Finally,
Speaker 1: we told them that we were giving them all of
Speaker 1: this information so that they could take action the action
Speaker 1: that they deemed appropriate. Um. I remember that Mr McGahn
Speaker 1: asked me whether or not General Flynn should be fired,
Speaker 1: and I told him that that really wasn't our call,
Speaker 1: that was up to them, but that we were giving
Speaker 1: them this information so that they could take action. All right,
Speaker 1: glad you whether Sean Hannity Show one, Shawn as A
Speaker 1: told free telephone number twenty four now until the top
Speaker 1: of the hour. Sally Yates in her testimony, what we're
Speaker 1: not getting to here is Lindsey Graham sucks up to
Speaker 1: this woman. It's so frustrating to me is if in fact,
Speaker 1: there was surveillance of the Russian ambassador, which we know
Speaker 1: to be true, and if in fact there was an
Speaker 1: incidental pickup of General Flynn, which we now know is true,
Speaker 1: and if in fact there was no minimization process taken,
Speaker 1: which is the general protocol and procedures that are supposed
Speaker 1: to be in place, and in fact, how this all
Speaker 1: became public and was leaqual we don't know how it leaked.
Speaker 1: In other words, that is a felony in a violation
Speaker 1: of the Espionage Act. And it was also the Obama
Speaker 1: administration that in fact had vetted General Flynn. Now, these
Speaker 1: are very important points. Nobody seems to get into the
Speaker 1: bottom of here. Anyway, Joining us now, a good friend
Speaker 1: of the program, Our good friend Patrick J. Buchannan, one
Speaker 1: of the best writers in the country. And he's been
Speaker 1: there through the Nixon administration, the the Reagan administration. He's
Speaker 1: been in all the political wars. Uh really pushing for
Speaker 1: a a pro blue collar Republican party for many, many
Speaker 1: years on issues of trade and non interventionism and other issues. Anyway,
Speaker 1: his brand new book, Nixon's White House Wars, the battles
Speaker 1: that made and broke a president and divided America forever.
Speaker 1: You know, Pat, as I look at your new book
Speaker 1: and through the prism of where we are with President Rump,
Speaker 1: an unhinged conspiracy theories and even Sally Yates there, you know,
Speaker 1: ignoring what is the elephant in the room, the surveillance,
Speaker 1: unmasking and leaking of intelligence which is illegal. Um, it
Speaker 1: seems that we are is devided more even then, more
Speaker 1: even now than then. You know, I think it's quite true.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Nixon ended badly, but when he
Speaker 1: came in, he faced the same situation that Donald Trump did,
Speaker 1: the relentless hostility of the media, the opposition of the
Speaker 1: deep state in d C. And what he was trying
Speaker 1: to do, and what you're talking about here, I think
Speaker 1: is is very important. There's there's two alleged scandals here.
Speaker 1: One is did the Trump administration colluded with Russia to
Speaker 1: interfere and get all those emails out and damage Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 1: Every single intelligence person and FBI chief who has been
Speaker 1: up there for the last ten months has said no,
Speaker 1: we have no evidence of that. And the press is
Speaker 1: pursuing that meanwhile, ignoring what is going on, which is
Speaker 1: the deep state lead to damage Trump falsely in some cases,
Speaker 1: and they're not pursuing the unmasking of individuals and was
Speaker 1: the Trump or campaign really basically not wire tapped but
Speaker 1: surveyed in various ways, And we're individuals unmasked and why
Speaker 1: and who did it? And so that's the second scandal,
Speaker 1: it seems to me, and the first it looks like
Speaker 1: us for our very dry hole. Well, Pat, look at
Speaker 1: what we advanced last night. And if you want to
Speaker 1: look at an absolute number that the unmasking requests granted
Speaker 1: by the n s A from you go from six
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. Now, either we had the single greatest
Speaker 1: increase in terrorist activity and potential threat to this country,
Speaker 1: which would which would authorize legitimate surveillance, or we have
Speaker 1: in an election year an opposition party being surveilled for
Speaker 1: political purposes, which, if we're going to talk about Nixon
Speaker 1: and controversies, um, this would make water look like you know,
Speaker 1: a kindergarten class versus you know, a law school, uh
Speaker 1: l s, a t exam or something. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: you're you're exactly correct here. Look, the Nixon thing was
Speaker 1: about five guys broke into the National Committee. Nixon didn't
Speaker 1: order that, it was done by his campaign. He did
Speaker 1: try to save those guys. But if this is true,
Speaker 1: if there has been a systematic effort to deliberately unmasked
Speaker 1: individuals who made conversations with Russians or any connection with
Speaker 1: them in order to get the goods on them and
Speaker 1: defeat the opposition here, that is a far more serious
Speaker 1: graver matter. What astounds me, Sewan is why we cannot
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of exactly who was unmasked, who
Speaker 1: was who made the orders, where the materials went, who
Speaker 1: wrote up the transcripts, who leaked them to the press.
Speaker 1: Leaks to the press like that are crimes in and
Speaker 1: of themselves. Well, I agree, I mean all of this
Speaker 1: is a crime. We never seem to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of anything Hillery got. I mean Trump as the government, Now,
Speaker 1: can you call these people in and say, you know,
Speaker 1: what did what did the National security adviser of the
Speaker 1: lady for working for the Barack Obama? What did she get?
Speaker 1: What did she do? She's not going to testify now,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's Susan Rice selection of duty here, Well,
Speaker 1: you're talking about Susan Rice. Look to me, there is
Speaker 1: no rational explanation to see exponentially this dramatic and increase
Speaker 1: of surveillance and I'm masking in an election year. The
Speaker 1: only intelligent conclusion we can make is that the n
Speaker 1: s A, our surveillance community, was being used as a
Speaker 1: mechanism to spy on political opposition. If that is true,
Speaker 1: and I am right, and I suspect you agree with me,
Speaker 1: what how do we get to the bottom of it?
Speaker 1: What is the magnitude of scandal we're talking about? Well, look,
Speaker 1: here's what you do. You've got to get the the
Speaker 1: head of the the the top, and you gotta get
Speaker 1: Clapper in there in the room. Then you get the
Speaker 1: c I A gut previous guy Brennan, and then you
Speaker 1: get them in there, get them all the roads, Susan Rice,
Speaker 1: closed session, get them all in there and closed sessions.
Speaker 1: So okay, we want the names, and we want everything
Speaker 1: you did, and do it in close sessions in the
Speaker 1: Senate and the House. Get that material from these folks
Speaker 1: and say, okay, what's your explanation for it? And then
Speaker 1: you're gonna infticate. Then you're gonna have a report on
Speaker 1: that and say what they did and whether this was
Speaker 1: elicit illegal. Well, Pat, we already know what happened to
Speaker 1: General Flynn was illegal. We already you know. But here's
Speaker 1: here's my problem, and help me out, because look, you're
Speaker 1: talking about the battles that made and broke a president
Speaker 1: and divided America forever. Okay, we're now in many ways,
Speaker 1: I would argue, based on your book, we're reliving history.
Speaker 1: How does Hillary get away with the private server and
Speaker 1: a mom and pop shop in a bathroom closet with
Speaker 1: not only top serious secret emails, but special access intelligence,
Speaker 1: which is the highest level of intelligence. How is it
Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation gives away twenty of America's uranium and
Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation, with all the people involved, gets millions
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars visa, the Clinton Foundation, doubling of
Speaker 1: speech fees of Bill Clinton in Moscow, And that the
Speaker 1: media focuses only in on a conspiracy of collusion, that
Speaker 1: we don't have a shred of evidence after investigations have
Speaker 1: gone on for nearly a year. That's how we do it.
Speaker 1: Come first, as all the goods sufficient to recommend an indictment,
Speaker 1: he can indict, He sends to the Justice Department, whose
Speaker 1: chief Miss Flint says, I'm going to follow what Mr
Speaker 1: Comey says. He sends to the Justice Department really hard evidence,
Speaker 1: which was sufficient a number of people said to indict
Speaker 1: Comy did that, I think because he didn't want to
Speaker 1: decide the election. So that happens, and and and and
Speaker 1: so there's no indictment of Hillary. And then frankly, after
Speaker 1: the election is over, the Trump administration that was ordered
Speaker 1: to the Trump Justice Department was told not to pursue
Speaker 1: the Hillary matter. Well, that's the point. We never followed through. Pat.
Speaker 1: The only people that we get followed through on our
Speaker 1: conservatives and Republicans public. You know, one of the reasons
Speaker 1: I wanted to get rid of the supermajority or or
Speaker 1: culture or what we call the nuclear option, is because
Speaker 1: Republicans they played by one set of rules. Ruth Bader
Speaker 1: Ginsburg will get an upper down vote, Elena Kagan will
Speaker 1: get an up and down vote, Sonya Soda mayor any
Speaker 1: liberal on the court as an upper down vote. Then
Speaker 1: the same reciprocity, the same courtesy is not extended to Republicans.
Speaker 1: So why so why would I was in the battles
Speaker 1: of Haynesworth and Carswell were torn to pieces exactly there
Speaker 1: in those says. But here's something else, national and let's
Speaker 1: take the one item that you and I agree on.
Speaker 1: It is a crime to do. Look, I don't agree
Speaker 1: with what General Flynn did, but it is a crime
Speaker 1: to leave this fact out from the Justice Department about
Speaker 1: the talks with the Vice president, et cetera, to the
Speaker 1: Washington Post. Get called me in there and ask him publicly, Now,
Speaker 1: are you investigating the leak which is apparently out of
Speaker 1: the FBI, but in any of that is criminal misconduct.
Speaker 1: Have you invested it and run down the FBI agent
Speaker 1: or agents or whoever it was that made this leak
Speaker 1: which appears to be out of your department and fired them,
Speaker 1: or what have you done? Give us the name, because
Speaker 1: we think that's an indictable crime. And if you can't
Speaker 1: give us the name, we're going to get a new
Speaker 1: FBI director who will. All Right, Pap Buchanon is with us.
Speaker 1: He's got a brand new book out. And if you
Speaker 1: think history repeats itself, well it does, and it gives
Speaker 1: you a very very broad perspective that a lot of
Speaker 1: what we've been through in the past is happening again
Speaker 1: on steroids. And his new book is called Nixon's White
Speaker 1: House Wars, the battles that made and broke a president
Speaker 1: and divided America forever. All Right, as we continue. Patrick J.
Speaker 1: Buchanan is with us as a brand new book, Nixon's
Speaker 1: White House Wars, The Battles that made and broke a
Speaker 1: President Divided America forever uh destined to be another Pat
Speaker 1: Buchanan bestseller. Um, but what you're writing about in this book,
Speaker 1: and I really had a hard time putting it down
Speaker 1: last night until I literally passed out with it on
Speaker 1: my chest, is is this book is so relevant and
Speaker 1: you can really see that history does repeat itself, and
Speaker 1: it seems to be repeating itself even at a higher level. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, how would you tie the two together. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Sean. What happened. The American establishment, which
Speaker 1: basically ruled the country from the New Deal up into
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties into JFK, broke apart and was broken
Speaker 1: on the wheel of Vietnam. However, and so Nixon broke
Speaker 1: through and one with six and then one again with
Speaker 1: seventy two, I mean with seventy two, with forty nine states. However,
Speaker 1: the establishment is ensconced deeply into the government in d C.
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump got four percent of the vote in
Speaker 1: d C, which tells you how much support he's got
Speaker 1: into bureaucracy, the media, the complete establishment, intellectual, academic establishment.
Speaker 1: And what they do is they're waiting there and you
Speaker 1: cannot make any football to slip and fall there, and
Speaker 1: they will run the sword right through you. And they
Speaker 1: are as ready to break and bring down President Trump
Speaker 1: as they were to break and bring down Nixon. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not defending the blunders and mistakes Nixon made after
Speaker 1: that stupid break in, and they were used to break
Speaker 1: him bring him down, But they will not bring down
Speaker 1: their allies and friends. They wouldn't do this to Jack Kennedy,
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't do this to Barack Obama. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you if the president better be prepared and realized
Speaker 1: that you know, if if they make a mistake, it's
Speaker 1: going to be big, it's going to be conscious. Look,
Speaker 1: General Flynn has been going for three months. For heaven's sakes,
Speaker 1: I didn't I don't know about you. I didn't learn
Speaker 1: anything new yesterday from those that report by that those
Speaker 1: those two and there were some of the good questions
Speaker 1: you know who leaked this that went unanswered, and we
Speaker 1: learned nothing about those, And we weren't learned the same
Speaker 1: thing about to talk with the Vice president, and when
Speaker 1: he learned it, and how many hours and days it
Speaker 1: was before he was removed. He's been gone for three months.
Speaker 1: Today we got an important issue, hugely important in Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: Are we going to go back in there with how
Speaker 1: many troops can we win? It? Is? It lost the
Speaker 1: gigantic issue. But the media they will stay focused on.
Speaker 1: They will keep zeroed in laser like on anything that
Speaker 1: is damaging and they'll keep it, keep it up and up.
Speaker 1: And look, it's been almost a year. Has there been
Speaker 1: inclusion everything that comes on TV? No, we haven't found
Speaker 1: any colusion. If there's collusion, for heaven's sake, they should
Speaker 1: have found it in the first week. Yeah, well, they
Speaker 1: should have found it in the first week. Would have,
Speaker 1: could have, should have. The fact that they delay all
Speaker 1: of this the way they do is unbelievable and frankly
Speaker 1: unforgivable to me. Um, I've got to believe that based
Speaker 1: on some of the recent news that you're pretty happy
Speaker 1: on a on a farm policy front. Um. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the news cycle earlier today, and you know, we
Speaker 1: see that the president, i think, has taken a very
Speaker 1: Pat Buchanan like position, and that is he's arming the
Speaker 1: Kurts where you have the courage are great. But let
Speaker 1: me say this, Sean with Nixon faced a similar situation here.
Speaker 1: We came in with I've hud guys still in Vietnam,
Speaker 1: and Nixon realized that the country wanted him to pull out.
Speaker 1: It didn't want to lose the war, and it's a
Speaker 1: hellish problem to do that and succeed, and he did
Speaker 1: by seventy two. And it was until seventy that the North,
Speaker 1: after he had been broken and driven from office to north,
Speaker 1: came down from the North. But I will say this,
Speaker 1: We've got guys all over the Middle East. We got
Speaker 1: him in the Iraq, we got him in Afghanistan. We're
Speaker 1: aiding the Saudis in Yemen, we got folks in Somalia.
Speaker 1: We are in all over these politics Syria. Even if
Speaker 1: I mean, and I think Trump doesn't think we should
Speaker 1: have gone in, and neither do I. But once you
Speaker 1: are in there, you go. We gotta win. But you
Speaker 1: can't charm. We had a hundred thousand guys or something
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan and we didn't make it. Ten thousand aren't
Speaker 1: going to do it. No, I agree, But you know what,
Speaker 1: these countries also have to start fighting for themselves. And
Speaker 1: you know that's the Nixon doctrine he brought in Asia
Speaker 1: that will help him to the Yeah, yeah, to the
Speaker 1: degree we count is right. But listen, it's very complicated.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in the future. The book is awesome,
Speaker 1: by the way, our friend Pat Buchanan, Nixon's White House Wars,
Speaker 1: the battles that made and broke a president and divided
Speaker 1: America forever, and you'll see so many parallels to where
Speaker 1: we are today, and you'll get a great background and
Speaker 1: knowledge of history. Thanks Pat. Regardless of your political point
Speaker 1: of view here tonight are watching at home, I think
Speaker 1: we can all agree. In the last eight years, the
Speaker 1: White House has given us a leader who's passionate, intelligent,
Speaker 1: and dignified. You talk like a sign language guerilla who
Speaker 1: got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing
Speaker 1: your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's coolster.
Speaker 1: President Obama held his last press conference today. He talked
Speaker 1: about the complexities of peace in the Middle East, universal healthcare,
Speaker 1: job creation, pretty boring stuff and uh man, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: miss being bored. At the end of that monologue, I
Speaker 1: had a few choice insults for the President in return,
Speaker 1: I don't regret that. So for the last time, from me,
Speaker 1: the real Stephen Colbert, I just want to say thanks Obama.
Speaker 1: One reporter ran into ranks previous who told her the
Speaker 1: President stepped up and helped punt the ball into the
Speaker 1: end zone. I think are more accurate football metaphor might
Speaker 1: have been the GOP just kicks America. And you gotta say,
Speaker 1: after listening to this scandal and listening to the Benghazi scandal,
Speaker 1: what I came away with is what I thought years
Speaker 1: ago after Nixon scandals, which is the culture always comes
Speaker 1: from the top. If the top guy is corrupt and
Speaker 1: shady and sketchy, then everyone down gets corrupt and and
Speaker 1: and he's not he's clean, and basically his government is clean.
Speaker 1: And these scandals have proven that the government is basically clean.
Speaker 1: They're noting with people in any way. I've been mostly
Speaker 1: holding my tongue about the president this past season because
Speaker 1: I didn't want to muddy the waters in the country
Speaker 1: where you only get two choices. But Mr President, there
Speaker 1: are two ways to look at your victory. One as
Speaker 1: we love you, the other is we like you three
Speaker 1: percent better than Mitt Romney. Oh a long is going
Speaker 1: to be our saving grace. You know, when he's about
Speaker 1: to nuke Finland or something, She's going to walk into
Speaker 1: the bedroom and you know, Daddy, Daddy, don't Daddy. I
Speaker 1: think the second term for Obama is more important even
Speaker 1: than the first. Obviously it was important to get the
Speaker 1: first black president elected, but if the first black president
Speaker 1: only has one term, America reads that as a this
Speaker 1: is what the right wing hopes and praise for more
Speaker 1: than anything else that America looks at this one term
Speaker 1: president goes, well, you know what, we tried a black guy,
Speaker 1: but it just didn't work. And I think Obama's worried
Speaker 1: that he That's why I think he is as conservative
Speaker 1: in the first time. He knows for the sake of
Speaker 1: black America, he needs the second term. All Right, News
Speaker 1: Round Up, Information Overload Hour on the Seawan Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: We have spent a lot of time talking about Bill
Speaker 1: Maher and Stephen Colbert and the vile, vicious attacks that
Speaker 1: exists now. The Center for Media Public Affairs at George
Speaker 1: Mason University actually counted an incredible one thousand sixty jokes
Speaker 1: directed against Trump during his first hundred days in office.
Speaker 1: That's more than ten times as many barbs aimed at
Speaker 1: all Democrats combined during the same period, and considerably more
Speaker 1: than Barack Obama and Bill Clinton received during their entire
Speaker 1: first year of their presidency. It just never ends. It's
Speaker 1: not just the number of attacks, the frequency of attacks,
Speaker 1: which is unprecedented, it's also the degree to which these
Speaker 1: the viciousness involved in the attacks. Now, I just can't
Speaker 1: imagine what you just heard, Bill Maher, and you know, incest.
Speaker 1: I can even say incest is a joke because it's
Speaker 1: not a joke. But imagine if this were ever said
Speaker 1: um during Barack Obama's presidency, what would be the reaction
Speaker 1: in the country. It would be it would be a
Speaker 1: fire able offense for anybody. Be it on you know,
Speaker 1: conservative talk radio, late night television. It would not be allowed.
Speaker 1: But everybody's taking it. Well, it's fine with these guys.
Speaker 1: I'm not calling for anybody's firing. I'm saying, vote with
Speaker 1: your vote, with your your clicker, your remote, turn the
Speaker 1: TV off, return the dial. But I am pointing out
Speaker 1: that there is a level of hate, vitriol, viciousness. It
Speaker 1: is unprecedented here. And you don't hear the left go
Speaker 1: out defending conservatives. Conservatives are silenced on college campuses. Nobody
Speaker 1: says a thing the Fox News channel, talk radio monitored
Speaker 1: in the hopes of Boycott's every day. Not a word
Speaker 1: of defense from liberals in this country, any of them.
Speaker 1: And then this viciousness which would never be tolerated. It's
Speaker 1: loved by the left. They don't utter a single word
Speaker 1: of defense for Ivanka Trump, Milania Trump, for Baron Trump,
Speaker 1: for any even for the soon to be grandson of
Speaker 1: the president, for crying out loud. It's that vicious. Jeffrey Lord,
Speaker 1: former associate political director in the Reagan administration, author of
Speaker 1: the best selling book What America Needs The Case for Trump.
Speaker 1: Leslie Marshall, Coast of The Leslie Marshall Show and Fox
Speaker 1: News contributor, I mean, Leslie, you just have to admit
Speaker 1: there there is such a severe double standard here, and
Speaker 1: your friends on the left are virtually silent on any
Speaker 1: of these issues that they claim to have a mantle
Speaker 1: of of morality on and and a standard second to
Speaker 1: none on well Sean if you google um I wrote
Speaker 1: for The Huffington's Post a couple of years ago, actually
Speaker 1: a piece talking about how spouses and children for any
Speaker 1: candidate left or right should be off limits. And a
Speaker 1: lot of conservative sites liked it, tagged it, and you know,
Speaker 1: but my my terminology. I don't know if it went
Speaker 1: viral or whatever, but but applauded it and quite frankly
Speaker 1: attacking the president. You have the first Amendment right going blue,
Speaker 1: which I believe see Stephen Colbert, did I agree with you? Sean?
Speaker 1: You have a choice. Is a consumer what you watch
Speaker 1: and you don't watch. But attacks of any kind, and
Speaker 1: I don't care if the person is a Democrat and
Speaker 1: Republican on their children, regardless of their children's age. And
Speaker 1: we have heard attacked. We heard terrible scathing attacks on
Speaker 1: Amy Carter, on Chelsea Clinton. We're hearing it on Ivanka.
Speaker 1: I not only as a parent, but as a decent
Speaker 1: human being, I find okay, all right, Leslie, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you a pass. I'm gonna say, Leslie is different.
Speaker 1: I am talking about the loudest, biggest voices on the
Speaker 1: left are virtually silent and Jeffrey Lord, this would never
Speaker 1: be done to Barack Obama, man. Is that the truth?
Speaker 1: I mean they becoming if you mean the uproar, if
Speaker 1: you Sean Hannity sat there on on on the set
Speaker 1: of your television show and said anything remotely like this
Speaker 1: about Barack Obama's kids. I just I mean you you
Speaker 1: would not only have lost your TV show, you would
Speaker 1: have lost this show. I mean they'd have been after you.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're in lies, the double standards. The one
Speaker 1: caveat I have and it's exactly the same as yours.
Speaker 1: I mean, I am a First Amendment fundamentalist, and and
Speaker 1: in being that, it is not escaped. My notice that
Speaker 1: our friends on the left are all too frequently not
Speaker 1: that they reserve, unto themselves, the right to say all
Speaker 1: these kind of things. But they want to get you
Speaker 1: off the earth, or they want to close down Fox,
Speaker 1: or they want this that or the other person's silence.
Speaker 1: This comes from their basic totlitary in nature. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is what the left is all about, bottom line.
Speaker 1: Whether it's the French Revolution nineteen seventeen or whether it's today,
Speaker 1: they want to shut down the opposition. They want to
Speaker 1: shut down Donald Trump. I mean, it is just appalling,
Speaker 1: But we really do need to realize what we're dealing
Speaker 1: with here. Well, I I just don't think I've never
Speaker 1: I've never witnessed anything like this, and Leslie is on
Speaker 1: a very remote basis. Yeah, okay, we can go back.
Speaker 1: There was a crack made about Amy Carter, maybe a
Speaker 1: crack made about Chelsea Clinton, maybe in I can't remember
Speaker 1: one against the Obama daughters. Okay, now that's fine, all right,
Speaker 1: But but no mainstream conservative made cracks against any of
Speaker 1: these people, and especially in the case I've always said,
Speaker 1: I actually think the omam has did a great job
Speaker 1: with their daughters. Yeah, I I I think it's very
Speaker 1: difficult gold to be raised in the White House, and
Speaker 1: I think kids hands off, the kids leave him alone. Now,
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama when she says for the first time in
Speaker 1: my adult life, I'm proud of my country, okay, fair game,
Speaker 1: Because she now has inserted herself, You're not proud of
Speaker 1: your country beating back fascism, Nazism, imperial Japan, or the
Speaker 1: blood and sweat and treasure this country is sacrificed for
Speaker 1: the cause of freedom. Uh And the only time, yeah,
Speaker 1: or or any of the country's many accomplishments, you're only
Speaker 1: You're only proud of your country when your husband's getting elected.
Speaker 1: That's pretty bad and deserve criticism. Leslie. I think if
Speaker 1: a person says something politically like Hillary Clinton had put
Speaker 1: herself out there politically more so than many first ladies
Speaker 1: before her. That's one thing. But we're talking about children,
Speaker 1: which Ivanka is a child of a president. Uh. There
Speaker 1: were remarks about putting uh Barack Obama's daughter Maliah fifteen
Speaker 1: at the time. Uh, you know, on birth control. There
Speaker 1: have been her Wrenn Dislee, racist marks and even imagery
Speaker 1: of the Obama specifically Michelle Obama and even the kids.
Speaker 1: And it is all wrong. Whether it's okay, So let's
Speaker 1: take the Obama's give me examples. Give me examples of
Speaker 1: Republicans attacking Michelle prominent names, well republicans, Okay, give me
Speaker 1: two seconds. All right, I'll tell you what. I'll give
Speaker 1: you time to think. I'll take a break right as
Speaker 1: we continue with Jeffrey Lord and Leslie Marshall. We gave
Speaker 1: Leslie some time to think and ponder examples of prominent conservatives.
Speaker 1: She's been googling now for the last four minutes. And uh,
Speaker 1: and and what have you come up with? Prominent conservatives
Speaker 1: that have attacked Michelle Obama? What you said before the break,
Speaker 1: Because we have a tape of it, we can run
Speaker 1: it back to the crew there. You said republicans. You
Speaker 1: didn't say prominent conservatives. Okay, who were the prominent republicans?
Speaker 1: The guy that said liar, you didn't say prominence? Yes,
Speaker 1: I did say, right, who were the All right, give
Speaker 1: me the unknown names you're about to give me because
Speaker 1: you don't have anybody. Well some of these names, actually
Speaker 1: you don't have any some of these names are not
Speaker 1: unknown quite frankly. Her weight was a big consideration for
Speaker 1: our Palin talked about her weight and her Alan Jones said, quote,
Speaker 1: she is actually a man. Okay, let me let me,
Speaker 1: let me just stop you for a second. There is
Speaker 1: context and textured everything, and this is, uh, this is
Speaker 1: the first lady telling us that we have to eat
Speaker 1: leaves and spinach for lunch every single day, Jeffrey, and
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that they're saying, well, that doesn't make you healthy.
Speaker 1: So there's a context. I'm assuming here. Am I right
Speaker 1: or wrong? You know? No, you're right. And the problem
Speaker 1: here is that when a when a first lady goes
Speaker 1: there's a difference here between let's say Jackie Kennedy or
Speaker 1: or Nancy Reagan. Uh, in the sense that one was
Speaker 1: talking about refurbishing the White House, and the other was
Speaker 1: talking about drugs and and you know, just say no
Speaker 1: to drugs. There's a difference between that and then going
Speaker 1: out and taking a real serious position on a political
Speaker 1: issue and thinking there'd be no blowback the moment you
Speaker 1: do that. If you're a first lady or for that matter,
Speaker 1: of first child, then you are going to get the blowback.
Speaker 1: And and it happens like clockwork, and no one should
Speaker 1: be surprised at it. When you Aladino guide minded your
Speaker 1: own business and place running and after that's a difference. Guys,
Speaker 1: can we can we can we get Leslie. You gotta
Speaker 1: let Jeff finished and then you go, Jeff finish your thought.
Speaker 1: So well, it's just when when you when you go
Speaker 1: out of your way like Ry Clinton did, for example,
Speaker 1: or Michelle Obama to insert yourself in a political issue,
Speaker 1: then you're going to get political blowback. There's no question.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's going to come with certainty, and
Speaker 1: it should. I mean, if you're going to use your
Speaker 1: platform to inject your political views, then great, then you
Speaker 1: know fine, but don't be surprised when people come back
Speaker 1: at you. Well, I don't consider sexist or racist for
Speaker 1: marks attacking one's politics. And I do agree with you, Jeffrey,
Speaker 1: regarding politics. And I said that earlier, like Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: and others that have put themselves out there. Carl Polla
Speaker 1: Dino is another who said and I quote and sorry
Speaker 1: for interrupting. Nobody outside of New York knows who Carl
Speaker 1: Palladino is. Nobody, nobody outside of New York knows who
Speaker 1: Carl Palladino is. I live in Los Angeles. I know
Speaker 1: who he is. Okay, but you you spend hours and
Speaker 1: days and months in New York, so stop that. Nobody
Speaker 1: knows who this guy is. He's not a prominent He's
Speaker 1: not a prominent les. It's less. It's somebody's name that
Speaker 1: you feel everybody recognizes. It doesn't count when you say, okay,
Speaker 1: is that the same? Is that the same? Being a male?
Speaker 1: And let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she
Speaker 1: was comfortable in a cave with mat right, let me
Speaker 1: let me stand up for Michelle. That's despicable, and people
Speaker 1: like Jeff and I condemn it. It's disgusting, But so
Speaker 1: is Bill Maher a much bigger name, and so is
Speaker 1: uh Stephen Colbert a much bigger name, and so are
Speaker 1: the numbers of liberals in the House of Representatives. The
Speaker 1: things that they have said, starting with Nancy Pelosi on
Speaker 1: down against the President that have been over the line despicable. Well, okay, prominent, prominent, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's stop using Leslie. I know I'm teaching how to
Speaker 1: be a talk show host, but this is my show
Speaker 1: and I'm not answering questions, Okay, But my only point
Speaker 1: to you is we see you cannot look at what's
Speaker 1: being said about Ivanka, Milania, Baron Uh and Kelly Anne
Speaker 1: for crying out loud and not say this is something
Speaker 1: we've never seen before, and you should be speaking out
Speaker 1: as loudly as me and Jeffrey I mean, Sean. It helps.
Speaker 1: I mean when when when somebody on our side, I mean,
Speaker 1: as you just illustrated with Carl Talladino says something, I mean,
Speaker 1: I said something at the time. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: it's disgraceful. So it's important when somebody on our side
Speaker 1: does something that's way out of it was. It was
Speaker 1: disgraceful and I don't know if you apologize for it.
Speaker 1: I hope he did, but it was disgraceful. There's no
Speaker 1: at this now a lot. They need to speak up.
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna have to leave it there like
Speaker 1: like I said, Like I said, I wrote an article
Speaker 1: about it, and you were Shaun didn't know about it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I already gave you dispensation that I'll put you in
Speaker 1: a separate category. Most of your prominent liberal brethren sit
Speaker 1: by idly and silent and do and say nothing, and
Speaker 1: that therein lies the double standard. I gotta let you
Speaker 1: both go here. I'm glad we can get Google so
Speaker 1: much work during a half hour debate with Leslie. Shawn
Speaker 1: is our number. When we come back, we're gonna check
Speaker 1: out with the White House correspondent for the Gateway Pundit
Speaker 1: to give us, you know, the next and the long
Speaker 1: line of horrible flight stories. This is unbelievable. We'll get
Speaker 1: to that more. Holding them accountable, Sean gets the answers
Speaker 1: no one else does. America deserves and know the truth
Speaker 1: about Congress. What are their questions? And why the water
Speaker 1: right now in her life and the air isn't an
Speaker 1: option because the APU is gonna and that's the problem.
Speaker 1: And the lights were turned off because we thought it
Speaker 1: would get board us back on the plane because it's
Speaker 1: the main issue. That the main issue he didn't he
Speaker 1: knew when were at it, but then there was a
Speaker 1: problem with the powers which he would never afforded you
Speaker 1: guys again, if you thought you were even sitting here
Speaker 1: greeting in there, give me one second, let me let
Speaker 1: me call all right, twenty five now till the top
Speaker 1: of the hour some of the audio. You know, if
Speaker 1: things can't get worse for the airlines. I am stunned
Speaker 1: at what I've been seeing on the airlines. I mean,
Speaker 1: you see a woman with two babies twins carrying it
Speaker 1: and a guy ripping the stroll or nearly breaking open
Speaker 1: her head and her skull in the process. Is that
Speaker 1: instead of the obvious, ma'am, how can I help you?
Speaker 1: Can I help you? Would you like men to hold
Speaker 1: one of the kids, and would you like to get settled?
Speaker 1: And would you like me to take the stroller? And
Speaker 1: there's such there's two ways of doing anything. We've all
Speaker 1: experienced this in life, and that is you have the
Speaker 1: people that are really really helpful and really good and
Speaker 1: really supportive and do their job with a smile on
Speaker 1: their face. And then you have the other people that
Speaker 1: ripped the stroller out and they were impatient. And then
Speaker 1: you saw the video of the guy that stood up
Speaker 1: for this poor woman that had twins, and you got
Speaker 1: this this flight attendant guys trying to start a fight,
Speaker 1: sticking his finger in the face of the guy saying, hey,
Speaker 1: help the lady out. What are you doing? You know,
Speaker 1: become aware of your actions and your behavior. And then
Speaker 1: we have the incident of the guy being dragged down
Speaker 1: the aisle because United overbooked the flight, and we just
Speaker 1: heard there was audio and the audio was here we
Speaker 1: go United Airlines again, the company known for dragging this
Speaker 1: poor guy down the aisle, trapped a completely full ca
Speaker 1: been a passengers. What was this yesterday? When? When did
Speaker 1: this happen? This weekend? All right? For five hours? A
Speaker 1: complete full cabinet passengers on a flight, no lights, no
Speaker 1: air conditioning, apparently no water. How do you not have
Speaker 1: water on a on a flight? No usable restrooms? Five
Speaker 1: hours in Miami. Just telling me that I can't use
Speaker 1: the restroom means I'm gonna have to use the restroom.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. The original boarding time one oh six flight
Speaker 1: sixteen fourteen, departing Miami headed to New New Wick new
Speaker 1: Joyzy one. Once the passengers arrived at the airport, they
Speaker 1: were told that there was going to be a forty
Speaker 1: five minute maintenance to lay annoying, but that happens. When
Speaker 1: passengers boarded to fifteen, they shut the doors, told that
Speaker 1: there was a mechanical failure and only take fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: An hour and a half later, passengers still trapped in
Speaker 1: the plane, slowly becoming like an oven sitting in the
Speaker 1: Miami sun, as was reported on gateway pundit, and no
Speaker 1: water offered. Elderly woman sitting towards the back of the
Speaker 1: plane passes out like a many heat stroke. Another two hours,
Speaker 1: the plane slowly makes its way back from the terminal.
Speaker 1: Passengers at this point sweating profusely, somewhat disoriented, debording to
Speaker 1: sit in the air conditioned airport. After roughly an hour
Speaker 1: and a half, they were told the planes ready to
Speaker 1: take off. Reluctantly and again, I'm I'm reading the piece
Speaker 1: by Lucian wind Rich. Lucian win Rich. Reluctantly, passengers reboarded
Speaker 1: the overheated plane. An hour later, they were right back
Speaker 1: where they started, trapped in a plane, no air conditioning,
Speaker 1: no lighting. Lucian was on that flight, White House corresponding
Speaker 1: Gateway Pundit. Oh, come on, you just tell me they're
Speaker 1: not that dumb. I mean it, it was. It was
Speaker 1: absolutely astonishing. Um. The first round one they had us
Speaker 1: all aboard. They said, you know, we haven't worked out
Speaker 1: these failures, but sit on the plane fifteen minutes and
Speaker 1: you know an airport lingo. That's typically just an I
Speaker 1: don't even want to say just an hour, but about
Speaker 1: an hour three hours later. Um, Absolutely no water, the
Speaker 1: restrooms are in operational, no lights, no air conditioning. Um.
Speaker 1: If you can imagine being in a metal tube under
Speaker 1: the sun for three hours, it was at least ninety
Speaker 1: degrees Uh. And I'm surprised people didn't start to start
Speaker 1: taking their clothes off. It was it was like no
Speaker 1: sauna's experienced in a while. And I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: no offense solution. The selfie you took made you looked horrible.
Speaker 1: I don't know, data and actually captured the moment perfectly,
Speaker 1: so I read that I was reading exactly your verbate.
Speaker 1: Obviously in the lead up to this, um buzz. Patterson's
Speaker 1: also with us. Remember he carried the nuclear football for
Speaker 1: President Clinton. Author of Dereliction of Duty, a bestseller, How
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton compromised America's national security. And he also was
Speaker 1: an airline pilot. Now you flew Delta Airlines, what fifteen years?
Speaker 1: That's correction, fifteen years. Just retired actually this past fall
Speaker 1: to get back into writing and speaking. All right, now,
Speaker 1: I found a story about Southwest Airlines over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and in the light of all of these horrific stories,
Speaker 1: this was a couple of years ago where Southwest Airlines.
Speaker 1: A woman on a plane and Raleigh dorm about to
Speaker 1: go to Chicago. Pilot aboard of the takeoff taxis back
Speaker 1: to the gate they come and they asked the woman
Speaker 1: to get off the plane. She's thinking, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: maybe I got on a wrong plane. They go to
Speaker 1: the desk. She has to call her husband. Apparently her
Speaker 1: twenty four year old son in in Colorado. In Denver
Speaker 1: had a serious injury was in a coma. Well, then
Speaker 1: they knew the situation. They booked a woman a direct
Speaker 1: flight to Denver that was leaving in two hours. They
Speaker 1: offered a private waiting area. Considering all the emotional pain
Speaker 1: and suffering she's going through, they rerouted the woman's luggage.
Speaker 1: She boarded first they packed her a lunch. When she
Speaker 1: got to Denver, her luggage was delivered. She didn't have
Speaker 1: to wait for it. Southwest never asked for a die
Speaker 1: for the flight, the luggage delivery, or anything else. And
Speaker 1: it turns out, thank god, her son is okay. Now
Speaker 1: that's the difference between say, what we've been seeing, what
Speaker 1: just happened to Lucian, what happened to this guy dragged
Speaker 1: across the floor because they overbooked the flight, and what
Speaker 1: happened to that poor woman with twins? Yeah, you know, Sean,
Speaker 1: there's no there's there are certain cultures amongst the airlines
Speaker 1: and and no tour alike. Southwest has got a great culture.
Speaker 1: Delta has got a great culture. You know, we knew
Speaker 1: who we were. We were, we were there for a reason,
Speaker 1: and customer service of the priority. Some of the other
Speaker 1: legacy airlines like United in America a much more amalgamation
Speaker 1: of different airlines with no real clear defining corporate vision.
Speaker 1: And that's where you have problems like you had yesterday.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't imagine, I mean, been a cathinically
Speaker 1: been an airline pilot of Delta and flowing through Miami
Speaker 1: a thousand times I can't imagine boarding passengers on an
Speaker 1: airplane and Miami heat with without air conditioning. Because there's
Speaker 1: two ways you can condition an airplane. There's the internal
Speaker 1: system that the airplanes have that can can do it
Speaker 1: without any any ground aid or support. But there's also
Speaker 1: especially in Miami, they have a phenomenal system with all
Speaker 1: the gates where they have gate gate assistant air which
Speaker 1: will actually get the airplane is really really cool. So
Speaker 1: to board people without that capability or not having it
Speaker 1: turned on. I don't know if he was an operative,
Speaker 1: whatever the problem was, but the poor people not kind
Speaker 1: of heat. It's just been to Maine and I personally
Speaker 1: have never heard of that happening. Let me ask Lucien
Speaker 1: this now, because this is pretty amazing to me. Now,
Speaker 1: let's go back to the case of this poor guy
Speaker 1: that was dragged down the aisleand the United in that case,
Speaker 1: they overbooked a flight. Now, I saw an article that
Speaker 1: apparently in April, I guess it was that Southwest said
Speaker 1: they're ending the practice of overbooking flights. Good for them.
Speaker 1: It seems like Southwest and some of these other companies
Speaker 1: are like I've had a good experience with Jet Blue,
Speaker 1: I've never had a bad experience with Jet Blue, and
Speaker 1: I've been delayed like everybody else. We had a great
Speaker 1: experience with all all every time we've flown them. Great
Speaker 1: at experience. We flew United, No do, we flew Delta back?
Speaker 1: Was it Delta United? Delta? Okay, we flew Delta back.
Speaker 1: Great experience. That was so nice to us. So I
Speaker 1: always give kudos one do. But I just read that
Speaker 1: they settled with the guy they dragged down the aisle,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking whatever they would have offered if they
Speaker 1: kept up in the Anti Lucian all right, we'll give
Speaker 1: you four tickets to any one of our destinations, four
Speaker 1: first class tickets, eight first class tickets, hotel accommodations, and
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars cash. I'll raising my hand. I'm taking
Speaker 1: that deal. At some point. Whatever they ended up paying
Speaker 1: this guy is thousand times more than what they would
Speaker 1: have paid if they just did it the right way.
Speaker 1: I don't get absolutely. I mean, you know you have
Speaker 1: the the United CEO oscar. You knows. I think it
Speaker 1: is um. He recently said, oh we forgot our customers
Speaker 1: were actual human beings. He said that actions will speak
Speaker 1: louder than words and that you see them continuing to
Speaker 1: two mystery customers. I mean, you know they just killed
Speaker 1: that prized rabbit on one of their flights. Uh. I
Speaker 1: mean there's so many there's so many repeated incidents with them,
Speaker 1: and it just doesn't seem like they want us exactly
Speaker 1: what you went through this weekend? Oh well yeah, so
Speaker 1: they Originally it was a delay. I actually had a
Speaker 1: connecting flight back down to a two D C here.
Speaker 1: So they for whatever reason decided to border to board us.
Speaker 1: Three hours later, No I C no water. Um, they
Speaker 1: pull the plane out. They finally decide to whee talk
Speaker 1: and let people get to americ conditioning. After an elderly
Speaker 1: woman passes out of heat stroke on the on the flight,
Speaker 1: sitting on the ground a flight. They let us out
Speaker 1: for maybe half an hour an hour or so, uh,
Speaker 1: just to get some air conditioning in the actual airport. Um.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden they say, okay, all
Speaker 1: of you, we need you back on the flight immediately. Um,
Speaker 1: we're still working on it, but it'll be it'll be
Speaker 1: just fifteen minutes of waiting. They pulled the plane back
Speaker 1: out another two two and a half hours later, sitting
Speaker 1: and sitting in the exact same situation, Shan. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's a it's amazing how they really
Speaker 1: coute treat up. How about this? How long into the
Speaker 1: heat sit in was it before this poor woman passed out?
Speaker 1: It was a good three hours okay, and it's still
Speaker 1: one on another two hours after Yeah, okay, maybe after
Speaker 1: a woman passes out, maybe that's kind of a good
Speaker 1: sign that maybe it's time to get some conditioning for
Speaker 1: the people. You know, I know, a little bit of water.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Buzz, did you experience anything like this
Speaker 1: in your years as a pilote. I've never had that
Speaker 1: that situation that I've experienced. I've seen some issues over
Speaker 1: my fifteen years. But I'm really kind of in a
Speaker 1: quandary Shan about this whole situation, because, um, I don't
Speaker 1: understand how I would have to ask your other guests
Speaker 1: if they ever got airblord, who were they taxing out?
Speaker 1: What was this? What was the scenario? Are they going
Speaker 1: out to the to the runway to hold for the
Speaker 1: weather in the northeast? Why where were you guys able
Speaker 1: to be able to get in the air Um? You know,
Speaker 1: I really don't know, they said that they were still
Speaker 1: working on plane. UM. I don't know why they'd board
Speaker 1: passengers in general if they're if they're uh anticipating that
Speaker 1: much maintenance to do. UM. I mean, you know, when
Speaker 1: you drop off a car to the mechanic, he doesn't
Speaker 1: ask you to to wait in the car for five
Speaker 1: hours while they're talking about it. They never they never
Speaker 1: should have boarded, you guys. And the other thing that
Speaker 1: probably didn't sound like it happened was that the captains
Speaker 1: just should have been on the public announcement system every
Speaker 1: fifteen minute telling you guys what was going on and um.
Speaker 1: And never should have let it get to the point
Speaker 1: where he got that hot on the airplane especially. I
Speaker 1: mean there's there's ice on the airplane that they're catered properly.
Speaker 1: There could have been there could have been uh, you know, cops, drinks,
Speaker 1: all those kind of things, because how do you not
Speaker 1: have water on the plane. All right, give me a
Speaker 1: beer or something. I'll take any type of fluid at
Speaker 1: that point, I mean two hour round and I would
Speaker 1: have made it possible. We probably never would even got
Speaker 1: on the airplane in the first place, because again in Miami,
Speaker 1: they have ground control and air conditioning units for the airplanes.
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine why they weren't hooked up and operating, uh,
Speaker 1: the entire time those guys are pursuing, they're just melting
Speaker 1: in the sun. Wow, I am, I am stunned about
Speaker 1: everything that I'm hearing here. I really am. Well, I
Speaker 1: think some of these things are easy. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: I'm just old fashioned. But with the woman, I think
Speaker 1: you say to the woman, can I help you? Can
Speaker 1: I help you with that, ma'am? And maybe in the
Speaker 1: case of the guys, sir, we're looking for volunteers, we'll
Speaker 1: keep up in the antie. Somebody's gonna take you know,
Speaker 1: the four eight tickets for free, don't you think, Colonel Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we've done down the process, the whole process,
Speaker 1: so dramatically, Sean. You know, we get we get we
Speaker 1: get discradled employees, we get discrautled passengers, we get speddled
Speaker 1: the t s A. Agents, And by the time people
Speaker 1: actually get on the airplane, they're exhausted and only wanted
Speaker 1: a little common sense, a little, a little politeness, a
Speaker 1: little a little assistance. You know. Um, I would oftentime
Speaker 1: take the strollers down to the baggage been myself. When
Speaker 1: when does the pilot get to make a call if
Speaker 1: you have an unruly flight attendant, like in the case
Speaker 1: of the guys sticking his finger in the other guy's face.
Speaker 1: That that I saw that video and that captain should
Speaker 1: have been right there and he I saw him back off.
Speaker 1: That's that's inappropriate. You need to You need to be
Speaker 1: either right there defending your guy if you think he's right,
Speaker 1: or if he's getting aggressive like that, you need to
Speaker 1: You need to get him off the airplane immediately and
Speaker 1: call the company. I mean to me, I don't know
Speaker 1: what's happened, but it almost seems like and by the way,
Speaker 1: I've met really great security guards, but there are some
Speaker 1: security guards that seem to be want to be FBI agents,
Speaker 1: and you know, come after you with an aggressiveness that
Speaker 1: is so over the top. I'm like, whoa hold on, cowboy,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a good person. I'll give you all the
Speaker 1: information you want. Relax um, exactly right. Some airplanes have
Speaker 1: air marshall's and some don't, so you never know if
Speaker 1: you're gonna get that kind of assistance. I mean, the
Speaker 1: air crews and the pilots know if there's air Marshall's
Speaker 1: or law enforcement officials on the airplane, but nobody else does.
Speaker 1: So you never really never really know if that kind
Speaker 1: of fact. Do they know where those guys sit? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: we know exactly what they're sitting. All right. I want
Speaker 1: to thank you both of being one of us. I
Speaker 1: just cannot believe we keep going through this. There's poor
Speaker 1: people in Miami, my goodness. Anyway, thank you for sharing.
Speaker 1: Thanks Lucian. You got a voucher I heard right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: at the at the end they said, anybody wants to
Speaker 1: fly United again, you get a hundred fifty voucher for
Speaker 1: the inconvenience. Oh you didn't even get a free ticket.
Speaker 1: Fifty bucks. Hundred fifty bucks, and you get five hours
Speaker 1: of roasting in the cabin for free. Five hours of
Speaker 1: being roasted like a chestnut on an open fire Christmas time. Alright, guys,
Speaker 1: thank you
