Speaker 1: But we'll get to all of our coverage in the

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: course of the program today. And and it's this is

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: not complicated to figure out. It's not hard. It's very basic.

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: It's very simple. It's very fundamental, and it's been something

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: I have been telling you about for a long time.

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: The Republican Party is dead. They have no life to

33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: them whatsoever, none, zero, zip. They don't have a vision,

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: they don't have principles, they don't have they don't stand

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: for anything, which is how we now find ourselves in

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: a in a mess that we are in today and

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: where they go ahead without anybody reading it and pass

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: a one point three trillion dollar omnibus spending bill. It's

39
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: two thousand two hundred thirty two pages full of pork

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: and spending that nobody should ever spend. And I you know,

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: I look at this thing and I'm like, this easily

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: could have been passed by Pelosi and Schumer. A matter

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: of fact, they're absolutely giddy over the whole deal. In

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: a certain stance, we're able to accomplish more in the

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: minority than we were when we had the presidency or

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: even were in the majority. Well, I think one of

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: the reasons they rushed it through that they didn't want

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: their voting colleagues to see just exactly what was in

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: the bill. Uh, sounds like Pelosi, you cannot just you know,

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: I read this one article if I was on political

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: about the process is the Senator McConnell didn't go into detail,

52
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: but acknowledge the very difficult path he took to getting

53
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: the spending bill across the finish line. McConnell secures budget

54
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: deal with begging and pleading and controlling, and the Senate

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Majority leader obtained passage of a massive omnibus spending bill

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: and convincing Senator Paul Ryan and others to drop their

57
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: procedural objections. And then first there were Rand Paul's objections,

58
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: and then Jim Rice's objections, and finally twelve thirty nine am,

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: uh early this morning, the Senate passed the bill funding

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: the government through September. Went home after a chaotic twelve

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: hours of typical predictable trauma, and the vote was thirty two.

62
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: I would never have voted for this bill one point

63
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: three trillion dollars and sent it over to Donald Trump,

64
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: who passed this bill, and they would again this this inordinate,

65
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: bizarre paranoia, fear of being blamed for a government shutdown,

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: and uh, rand Paul had to be called personally by

67
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and let him vent about Senate rules. Um,

68
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: and this is ridiculous, this is juvenile fume. Bob Corker

69
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: who asked McConnell for an explanation of why the chamber

70
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: chamber was in at midnight, Oh, I'm sorry, did you

71
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: have to work a little it, Senator Corker. Mcconnald didn't

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: go into detail, but he said, my principal responsibility is

73
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: begging and pleading and cajoling. And I've been in continuous discussions,

74
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: shall I say, with several of our members who were

75
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: legitimately this what is to be happy about here. Now.

76
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: This is just this is how we have gotten to

77
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: where we are. For whatever reason, the Republican Party has

78
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: become a party of fear. The Republican Party is timid,

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: they are weak, they are spineless, and even more sadly,

80
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: they're lacking identity and their visionless. And what's so ironic

81
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: about it is, in spite of what some you know,

82
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: there there is a schism that we have to There's

83
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: no disputing that there is a schism. It doesn't matter

84
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: that the Heritage Foundation scored Donald Trump accomplished agenda in

85
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: his first year as president, which was higher and the

86
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: fort of Ronald Reagan. As Trump does anything he can

87
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: do on his own, by himself by executive orders. Doesn't

88
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: matter if it's pipelines opening up and war, doesn't matter,

89
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: if it's UH saving the the coal industry or natural

90
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: gas industries moving to America energy independence. You know, fighting

91
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 1: as hard as he did to get the the tax

92
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: cut built through. There's this mysterious reluctance among many Republicans

93
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: is that they don't want to fight. I don't know

94
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: what these people even believe in. I don't even know why.

95
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: A good half or more there what is the Republican

96
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Party in Congress stand for today? Because it doesn't seem

97
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: fundamentally they don't remind me. You know, it's funny people

98
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: write about me all the time. They don't know me.

99
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: They they they think they know me. They think this

100
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: is about personalities. For me, it's not about anybody's personality.

101
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: Motivates me. Which drives me is the country. What drives

102
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: me is fixing the country. What drives me and drove

103
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: all of us in the last election was the forgotten

104
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: men and forgotten women. And I can give you a

105
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: checklist of how we are infinitely better off than we

106
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: were before Donald Trump was elected. But with that said,

107
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: there's something fundamentally wrong when a Congress passes a bill

108
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: like this and does it in a way that they

109
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: complained about and wind about for years. And there's something

110
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: fundamentally wrong that the House of Representatives, every member of

111
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: it Republican side, will say repeal and replace Obamacare, and

112
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: they'll vote sixty five times when Obama's president, to repeal

113
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: and replace it. And then when that vote really matters

114
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: and you've got a president that will actually sign the

115
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: bill that a hundred of them in the House of

116
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. Or you have senators in they

117
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: vote straight up repeal of Obamacare, and then seven of

118
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: them when it matters two years later the exact same bill,

119
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: they vote against it. So, in other words, they never

120
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: really meant it. In other words, let me say it

121
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: a nice way, they were lying to you. In other words,

122
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: they never they never meant what they were saying. They

123
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: never thought they'd have to get to the point they

124
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: actually had to do something. And fundamentally that's a problem.

125
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: You know, I said to you during the whole healthcare debate,

126
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: I have been discussing health savings accounts on this program.

127
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: Probably you know, I have to find out what year

128
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: Musgrave and Goodman wrote Patient Care or whatever it is.

129
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: They wrote a book about health care savings accounts, Patient

130
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Powers the name of the book. And I read the

131
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: book a long time ago when it first came out,

132
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is this is gold, this is it.

133
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: This answers all of our health care problems. You have

134
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: health care savings accounts individual, and and that guarantees that

135
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: every year you go to your doctor, and you see

136
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: your doctor, and you get you get your your check up,

137
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: and and that's taken care of and that's part of

138
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: your health plan. And and then all the money, and

139
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: you're young and healthy years, you're accumulating so that you'll

140
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: have a lot more as you get towards the end

141
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: of your life when you're likely to be in need

142
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: of more care. And let's say you don't need that

143
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: care and you're die in your sleep one night, while

144
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: you get to give all that money to your family.

145
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: I always loved that idea, or the you know, five

146
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: years that we put on poor Josh Humber dr Umber

147
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: down in which Ita, Kansas, and we put him on

148
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: because he came up with an innovative idea about a

149
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: health care cooperative where it only costs adults fifty bucks

150
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: a month, ten bucks a month for kids unlimited coverage.

151
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: And what's so great about unlimited coverage? That means seven

152
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: three sixty five you're covered. And that includes pretty much

153
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: everything any person is gonna need on an average day,

154
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: broken bones, stitches, you name it. You know, you got

155
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: the flu, you got a headache, whatever, He takes care

156
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: of it. He personally went and negotiated with the pharmaceutical companies.

157
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: Let's say you leave and you have your blood test

158
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: shows you have high cholesterol or how you leave with

159
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: high blood pressure? Peace, end you out with your medicine

160
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: at a reduced rate of what you pay in a pharmacy.

161
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean. And then if you add to that a

162
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: catastrophic plan. Wow, that's that's even better, because God forbid,

163
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: you have you get cancer, or you have a bad accident,

164
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: or you have that heart attack, Well you're covered for

165
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: that completely at a low rate, depending on what your

166
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: deductible is. So you meant you're covered completely for at

167
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: a at a fraction of what most people pay monthly

168
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: for healthcare. When Republicans were debating after they finally got

169
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: control of the House, the Senate, in the White House

170
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: and seven years of promises, we get to that point

171
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: and I never heard but Rand paul ted Cruz in

172
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus. That's it. That that was all who

173
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: was left to discuss things that that had been discussed

174
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: regularly within Republican conservative ranks. They never even brought it up.

175
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't an option health savings accounts, it wasn't an

176
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: option for Congress these new in a to cooperative Josh Unger.

177
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Dr Hunger of Wichita Atlas m D. He has now

178
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: been going around the country, and he's been able to

179
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: duplicate his successful model, you know, in states and cities

180
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: big and small, all over the place. Because it works,

181
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: we can institutionalize that nationally and everybody will have the

182
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: best health care and pay half the price. It's amazing.

183
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Why would we not push that idea? And it's the

184
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: same thing here is that you know, in the in

185
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: the Obama years, everybody's everybody's complaining about, okay, well the

186
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: economies and mass taxes are higher than they've ever been

187
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: and thirteen million more Americans and poverty, eight million more

188
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: on food or thirty more in food stamps, eight million

189
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: more in poverty, lowest labor participation right now in large

190
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: to a large extent, the President through his tax pill

191
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: and the President through what he's done with regulations, and

192
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: the President what he's done in executive actions, and the

193
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: president's pushing energy, and the president enticing businesses to build

194
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: manufacturing centers and factory as he has turned that all around.

195
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Now we have you know, two million fewer people on

196
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: food stamps and three million more a million million jobs

197
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: are created. But that still doesn't justify this. And it's

198
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: the whole way that Congress does business that makes all

199
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: of us frustrated. I would have preferred that the President

200
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: vetoed this today. I would have preferred that these guys

201
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: not race home on vacation. There was no artificial deadline

202
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: here because they could have easily passed another continuing resolution

203
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: and gotten it right. But they don't want to stay

204
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: and they don't want to work. But they want the

205
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: benefits and privileges of being called congressman and senator. And

206
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: I ask you, what does this Republican Party stand for?

207
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: Because there are no bold colored differences between the modern

208
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: day Republican Party and what is the Democratic Party. I mean,

209
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: they're they're about as pale as you can be. It's

210
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: almost in this distinguishable in terms of, you know, they

211
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: both want bigger government, they both want to explode budgets.

212
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: They all believe in accumulating their power by spending tax dollars.

213
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: The President had a goal. The first goal was our

214
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: nation's military is badly depleted. So in a sense, I mean,

215
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: he was so aggravated at the press conference. I wish

216
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: you would have veto did and kept these people in

217
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: town for a month and let them suffer a little

218
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: bit because they're not serving the American people doing business

219
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: like this, and I will tell you but for the

220
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: President that nobody has a chance of a recovering economy.

221
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: And I just think a veto would have been appropriate here.

222
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: If he did, then everybody back to the drawing board. Yeah,

223
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: you bet, and that means get You know how many

224
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: times have we talked about the penny plan. All you

225
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: have to do is eliminate baseline budgeting. You cut one

226
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: cent out of every dollar every year for six years,

227
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: you balance your budget. Is the Republican party that talks

228
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: about balance budgets? Where's the Republican party that believes in

229
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: in fiscal austerity and responsibility? It doesn't exist. And that's

230
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: a sad part. So if the President wants the seven

231
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: billion the most ever spent in a defense budget, all

232
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: that cost him now because now everybody through in their

233
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: special pork projects. And that's the way they call getting

234
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: business done in Washington and then pat themselves on the

235
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: back and allow Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to take a

236
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: victory lap. It's unbelievable, it's intolerable, and I want these

237
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: people to go. They don't belong there. They don't have

238
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: a vision, they don't have courage. They don't have a backbone,

239
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: and they don't have a spine, they don't have an identity,

240
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: and that's what's been on display. There's no other way

241
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: to put it, just you know, we just tell it

242
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: as it is, sad right as we roll along. Sean

243
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: Hannity Show, eight d nine point one, Shawn Tolfree telepone

244
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: number you all. The funny thing is um occasionally it

245
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: calls on the show. I used to listen to you

246
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: when you're in Huntsville or Atlanta or um local in

247
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: New York, or when I first built in for Russia,

248
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: and I had that opportunity in my life, and and

249
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: I will ask people that I changed. I have not.

250
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I've always been a Reagan Conservative. You know. It's funny

251
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: the way people do not want to understand President Trump

252
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: putting today aside. He's governed conservatively and by the way,

253
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: wanting a bigger, tougher, stronger military so we can have

254
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: peace through strength and and build up strategic defense. That

255
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: that's all Reagan esk. But the amazing thing that has

256
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: happened is that the Republican Party that I know, has

257
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: lost its identity. They don't stand why didn't they fight

258
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: for health save his accounts. Why don't they fight for

259
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: the Penny plan. Why didn't they fight for health air cooperatives?

260
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: Why wasn't it universally accepted that we're gonna give the

261
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: president what he wants on the military, because that's what

262
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: we believe in. But we're not going to take all

263
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: this pork with it. And we do have both houses

264
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: of Congress. Why won't Mitch McConnell get rid of this

265
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: the sixty vote majority um which is has literally you know,

266
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: killing any ability to get major things done that will

267
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: make the country better. Uh. Well, then some of you say, well, Hannity,

268
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: but Trump didn't have to sign it. No, he didn't,

269
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: and I wish he would have. I wish he didn't

270
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: in this case. But honestly, on at least he's doing

271
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: some things that are good for the economy in the country.

272
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: The guy's you know, juggling by himself with with every

273
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: executive order and the tax bill that he's fighting for,

274
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: and energy independence where he's gotten us, and and the

275
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: whole host of of national security issues and fighting for

276
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: the wall and and wanting to build the wall. But

277
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: the only people that seem to get it help him

278
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: and support him are predictable. The only people that are

279
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: standing in Congress for anything seemed to be the Freedom Caucus.

280
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: And you've got guys like Ted Cruz and Ran Paul

281
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: and and even Mike Lee. Now besides that, all I

282
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: see a bunch of people that have fallen into a

283
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: trap that they do not want to fight hard for principles,

284
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: and they care too much about keeping their jobs, not

285
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: about the things that are good for the country, and

286
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: not about their constituents that they made promises too. If

287
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: you want to look at the root cause, and especially

288
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: all the never trumpers, that there is no intellectual movement

289
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: among the never Trumpers with a vision for how to

290
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: help America's forgotten men and women. They're being helped through

291
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: the four one person as a party disintegrates and has

292
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: abandoned almost all of their poor principles will continue, all right,

293
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: Glad you want to the top of the hour, nine

294
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: four one sewn if you want to be a part

295
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: of the program. I know a lot of you want

296
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: to vent. I'm gonna get to the phones here in

297
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: a second. Uh, And I don't blame you, and I

298
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: won't stop you. And it's uh, it's what we do

299
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: every day. I've been saying this about the Republican Party forever.

300
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: It just ended for me when when they didn't mean

301
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: repeal and replaced, I just I knew they were done,

302
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: their identities missing. Uh sad? Actually, And you know, is

303
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: it a third party we need? Ronald Reagan asked at

304
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: CEPEC one year, or a revitalized second party with no

305
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: pal Pastel's but bold colored differences. Well, they have a

306
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: guy that wants to lead them with bold color differences.

307
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: But they're they're they're just afraid. Well, he says bad

308
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: things that he tweets and everything, and like, really, that's

309
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: what scaring you so much, the tweeting. Really, is the

310
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: country gonna be better off if we have the tax cuts?

311
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: Is the country better off if we build the wall?

312
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: Is the country better off if we repeal and replace Obamacare?

313
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: Is the country better off if we live within our means?

314
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: Is the country better off having a stronger military and

315
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: piece through strength? What am I saying here? That is

316
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: not reagan Esque and all of the sanctimonious, self righteous

317
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't pay a whole lot of attention to him anymore.

318
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: Never Trumpers. They just sit on the sidelines hoping and

319
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: praying he fails, and even many of them are in Congress,

320
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: in the House and in the Senate. There are rumors

321
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: all over the place today. I mean they are swirling

322
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: that the FBI d O J Anti Trump cabal is

323
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: now being investigated by a criminal grand jury. With that

324
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: ends up being true. The American thinker even had it

325
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: that would be a major bombshell, and in other words,

326
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: that the Bellway hearing evidence of uh, you know, all

327
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: this evidence dug up by the Inspector General. We expect

328
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: that report soon, Michael Horowitz, and we expected in early April.

329
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: But anyway, following the release of the report, a lot

330
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: of heads are expected to roll over the media, the

331
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: deep state, never Trumper's. And the first hint I think

332
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: of the wheels of justice already grinding and turning came

333
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: on March seven, when the Attorney General had said, I

334
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: have appointed a person outside of Washington, many years in

335
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice to look at all the allegations

336
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us, and

337
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: we are conducting that investigation. We also had we played

338
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: John Solomon's interview first one ever with this confidential informant.

339
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: He was inside of Putin's operatives network within the United

340
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: States and since two thousand and nine, as operators were

341
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: bribing and blackmailing and extorting and money laundering, you know,

342
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: because Putin won to get a foothold in the uranium

343
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: network in America. He ended up getting that uranium one

344
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: deal passed, as you all know, and the kickbacks and

345
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: everything that involved in it. But the FBI informant was

346
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: in there the whole time undercover. Robert Mueller was the

347
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: FBI director. What was he doing anyway? His name is

348
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: William Douglas Campbell, and he told Solomon he was interviewed

349
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: for about five hours in December by FBI agents and

350
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: Little Rock, Arkansas. Why they're investigating whether donations to the

351
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: Clinton Foundation were used to influence US nuclear policy during

352
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: the Obama years. He said he was asked specifically about

353
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: whether donations to the Clinton's charitable efforts were used to

354
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: influence US nuclear policy during the Obama years, and that

355
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: agents questioned him extensively about claims the Russians made to

356
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: him that they had routed millions of dollars to an

357
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: American lobbying firm in two and eleven with the expectation

358
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: it would be used to help President Clinton's charitable organization,

359
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: the Global Initiative, while made Uranium decisions were pending before

360
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: Hillary clinton State Department, and they were looking into meeting

361
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: the FBI special agents and little Rock. We're looking into

362
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: the Clintons and the information, he says he provided them

363
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: about the Clintons and about what was said and confirmed

364
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: by Russian leadership seemed to be very important to them,

365
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: he said, appearing in shadow before this interview. That's something

366
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: we've got to watch really closely. Um, there's so much happening, TikTok.

367
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: I am telling you we've only begun to touch the surface.

368
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: Anyone noticed by the way the stormy coverage, Stormy Stormy,

369
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing about this. I'm gonna explain this tonight.

370
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: Also on how many times now they're talking in stormies cases.

371
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: It was apparently she alleges a consensual relationship twelve years

372
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: ago or whatever, the same with this other woman who

373
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: used to be a playboy model. I guess, and that

374
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: was consensual Jeeve and said I voted for Trump. Um, anyway,

375
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: isn't it a little different than Bill Clinton dropping his pants,

376
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: exposing himself to a stranger, a woman, Paula Jones, and

377
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: getting sued by Paula Jones, lying under oath and everything

378
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: about it. It's very different, right, That's like a predatory

379
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: thing versus a consensual thing. Yeah. I wonder how many

380
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: times MSNBC actually spent going over and interviewing Paula Jones

381
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: because I did and lighted the Me Too movement, Maybe

382
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: they can revisit it. Well, what about the case of

383
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: Kathleen Willie grow grabbed, fondal touch kissed against her will

384
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: by Bill Clinton? Well I thought I thought that mattered

385
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: in the day and age of Me Too. How many

386
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: of these networks they didn't spend any time on these

387
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: topics interviewing these women. Again, not consensual or the allegation rape.

388
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: But for Lisa Myers and myself, I don't know of

389
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: anybody else that interviewed one Ada Broderick until maybe the

390
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: very end of the and that that would hold throughout

391
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: the sixteen campaign. And then Hillary is attraction to money

392
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: from countries that abuse women, gaze lesbians, and persecute Christians

393
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: and Jews again, all money going to the Clinton Foundation.

394
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our busy phones. We'll start

395
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: with Tom and Minnesota. Tom, Hi, how are you. It's

396
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: not exactly a happy Friday, but welcome to the show, sir,

397
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: he hey, thank you for having me, Shawn. Keep up

398
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: the good work. Thank you. I want to say, is

399
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: our deal making quarterback. President Trump just got sacked by

400
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: this omnibous spending deal. Now is not the time to

401
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: give up and walk out of the stadium. I use

402
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: the pork and the withholds to win big in election.

403
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: This is called good time for pr and promotion. Educate

404
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: the public. You know you're raising a good remember when

405
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: And I know politics plays a part in people's decisions,

406
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: but I think what the what voters respect the more

407
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: the most is when you always stand your strongest. And

408
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: if you remember, teen was the year that Ted Cruz

409
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: did his filibuster and I was up almost half the

410
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 1: night watching it. I was glad he was doing it.

411
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: And every single Republican if they would have stood firm,

412
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: they could have defunded to remember, he can't spend a

413
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: time without the approval of commerce. They could have taken

414
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: away funding for Obamacare. That was, they had the constitutional

415
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: power to do what they have the power of the

416
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: purse and crews stood there, and I know Brand stood

417
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: with him, Marco stood with him. And I think that's

418
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: about it. But the predictions among the establishment, that's it.

419
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: We're screwed. In ten, just the opposite happened ended up

420
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: being a great year. Now, there's gonna be a lot

421
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: of primaries of a lot of these these swamp creatures

422
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: and sewer creatures that are Washington, d C. The ones

423
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 1: that said they wanted to repeal, replace, the ones that

424
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: voted to repeal and replace when it didn't matter, and

425
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: the ones that never had any intention of repealing and replacing.

426
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: You know, same with building the border wall. You know,

427
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: if every Republican insisted on the full funding of the

428
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: border wall, we would have gotten it. You just have

429
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: to stand strong and be willing to work a few

430
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: extra days, which apparently is, you know, against their principles.

431
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: Why work hard? Uh, Tom, thank you. Doris is in Pittsburgh,

432
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: p A. How are you, Doris? Glad you called? And uh,

433
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: happy Friday to you too. I hope you have a

434
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: great weekend before you get to our weekend. We have

435
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: to do. Yes. That is, if I had been the

436
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: chief of staff, I would have sent Donald Trump into

437
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: that press conference with a huge blowtorch, and I would

438
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: have told him to burn that thing to ashes and

439
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: send it to the ash heat of history. Donald Trump

440
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: has made the biggest mistake of his presidency. That man

441
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: said and admitted he did didn't know what was in

442
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: that bill except for the military spending. All happy with that,

443
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: he but he didn't know what else was in that

444
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: When did Donald Trump ever sign a contract without knowing

445
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: every detail that was in that contract? Shame on him.

446
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: Who's your who's your congressman? What district are you? And

447
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: you have you ever thought of running? You'd be great? Yeah,

448
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: too many skeltons in my clause that I was a

449
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: big protester at one time and spent some time in jail,

450
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: which is why I'm so I'm so furious right now

451
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: we did not elect Donal. What did you spend time in?

452
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: What did you spend time in jail for? You're making

453
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: me la. I don't want to I'm not in a

454
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: great mood today. I don't want to laugh, but you

455
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: made me laugh. I did pro life protesting and sat

456
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: in front of abortion clinics and got my butt kicked

457
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: for trying to end up for life. And I would

458
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: have vetoed the bill too, and I think it would

459
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: have been a big moment for the president as well.

460
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: Let me let me tell you how I feel about this.

461
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: I and I'm torn because I'm I wish he would

462
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: have done exactly as you say, and I'm mad that

463
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: he didn't do it, and I hadn't talked to him

464
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: about it. But I will tell you that at least

465
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: he's at least he fights for a lot of things

466
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: and wins. But I can tell you you got every

467
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: single day these people that he works within his party

468
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: sucks so bad. They don't do any heavy lifting. At

469
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: least the guy does some. At least the guy's kept

470
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the promises. These guys keep no promise

471
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not making excuses for it. And he wanted

472
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: the military money and he paid the price. You could

473
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: see how aggravated he was today. Um and he look.

474
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: I would have rather to keep them there through Easter

475
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: through January as far as I'm concerned, they never should

476
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: go home until they do the people's work. But you know,

477
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: have you thought about running, Doris? I will donate to

478
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: your campaign, Thank you. Ever realized does he realize that

479
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of his agenda just got it today. Well,

480
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: I this is my take on it. I think he

481
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: made a calculation, and this is my take, my my

482
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: belief that he's looking at a threat assessment that is

483
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: presented to him every day. He's looking looking at a

484
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: depleted military. He wanted the biggest military budget in history,

485
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: and he knew the only way, or felt, or was

486
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: brought to believe that the only way he could get

487
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: it was to compromise on this crap bill because he

488
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 1: wanted the military spending. That's and and you guys, everybody

489
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: else is gonna have to decide on their own what

490
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: they what they think happened. That's my take on it.

491
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: But I think he was as disgusted as you are,

492
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: and I can you can see it in his face

493
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: when he said, I'm never doing this again. This is

494
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: bull But I need the money from our military and

495
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: we got to get this money. That's how I took it. Listen,

496
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: It's it's like my kids when they do something wrong.

497
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear excuses either. You're right, I'm

498
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: not gonna disagree, Doris, God bless you, Thank you, Travis Atlanta.

499
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: What's up, Travis, WSB Shelan, I have a different take.

500
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: I agree with everything that everybody said, and of course

501
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: what she said because a long time listener and very

502
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: privileged to speak with you, sir. But I wonder if

503
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Trump is a smart and strategy as we think he is.

504
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: Is this a ploy to get the Republicans backing in

505
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: in his camp by them going home and getting the

506
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: earful from the constituent and then having to come back

507
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: and address this in six months and then they'll be

508
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: ready to get on board with what his plan is.

509
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: Let me let me tell you politically, where the Republicans

510
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: stand after today? Um, they better you know. They look.

511
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: If they do well, they they would they would pat

512
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: themselves on the back. If they do poorly, they're already

513
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna blame Donald Trump. They have nobody else but themselves

514
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: to blame. And what I say, they have abandoned their identity,

515
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: when they have abandoned their principles, and that they are

516
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: just a carbon copy of the Democratic Party. It's true.

517
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm speaking truth here and the only way to get

518
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: it back is to go back to first principles. There

519
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: are all of us in our lives. We've got to

520
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: adjust at times and we've got to say, all right,

521
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: let me go back to the fundamentals in life, you know,

522
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: and when you do that, you usually end up doing better.

523
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: And for the Republicans, what do they stand for now?

524
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: If they stood for balanced budgets, if they stood for

525
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: fiscal responsibility, if they stood for conservative justices, if they

526
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: stood for the rule of law, if they if they

527
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: stood for controlling the borders and peace through strength and

528
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: a strong military and energy independence, and you know, real

529
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: solutions to health care, like health savings accounts and cooperatives,

530
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: and they started some more innovative thinking that used to

531
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: exist among Republican circles. They do a lot better off.

532
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: And if what it's we're now about to hit April,

533
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: between now and November, there's not a lot of time

534
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: politically speaking, and they've got a lot of damage that

535
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: they have done here that they now need to repair.

536
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: But you know, if there is a good economy, it

537
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: will be the president that gets the credit. Everything he's

538
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: done by ending burdens and regulation, everything he's done on energy,

539
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: everything he's done pushing for the tax cuts, everything he's

540
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: done on repatriation. You know, I give credit where credit

541
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: is due, and and but some of these Republicans don't

542
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: mean what they say. We've learned the lesson now, so

543
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: some of them have to go alright. Eight one, Sean

544

Speaker 1: joins us and much more. Alright, as we roll along

548
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: on this Friday. Eight nine one, Shawn told free telephone,

549
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, write us on Twitter, write us on Hannity

550
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: dot com. I know a lot of you are angry

551
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: and outraged, and uh, you know, take a close look

552
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: at who your congressman, your senators are. Take a close look.

553
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: I get a look up where they voted, and um,

554
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: you know you you've got to balance everything. Um. I

555
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: just think that there's there's no vision, there's no fight

556
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: in these Republicans in Congress. It's pathetic. And uh, at

557
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: least the president has a fight. But again, I wouldn't

558
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: have signed this. I would have made him stay. That's

559
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: why I'm not a Republican. I've never haven't been a

560
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: Republican in years. I'm a registered conservative. Alright, our Deep

561
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: State investigation into Muller and Weisseman and all these guys.

562
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: We've got new information. Next Howard Sean Hannity Show. Toll

563
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: free our telephone number eight nine one, Shawn, if you

564
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Congressman Dave

565
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: brad is irritated beyond words as our most Freedom Caucus

566
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: members over this omnibus bill. We'll get to him coming

567
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: up in an hour from right now, but first we

568
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: continue our week long investigation into well the beyond reproach

569
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: Robert Mueller and his merry band of Democratic Obama Hillary donors, supporters, etcetera.

570
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: Remember Andrew Wiseman was at Hillary headquarters on election night.

571
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: He was so giddy that he thought Hillary was gonna win.

572
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: Now he's part of Mueller's team. Now we've been really

573
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: unpeeling this layer of an onion and we're beginning to

574
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: learn a lot. It culminated in a column that Sarah

575
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: Carter has put out today, and as Robert Mueller, Andrew Wiseman,

576
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: the FBI, and the mob. We're gonna explain that in

577
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: a second. But the other big news and information, of course,

578
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 1: talking about Robert Mueller's years and the cooperation with Whitey Bulger,

579
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: a gangster, a murderer. But another part of this is

580
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: the deep state, and that goes to Clapper and Brennan

581
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: and Comy. Here's Comy and here's James Clapper. Paid close

582
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: attention to what they are saying. Director Coley, have you

583
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters

584
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: relating to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation? Never

585
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: question to one relatively related. Have you ever authorized someone

586
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in

587
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation? Now,

588
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: has any classified information relating to President Trump or his

589
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: association associates been deep classified or and shared with the media,

590
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: Not to my knowledge, he replied, And I quote here,

591
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: the story that we have millions or hundreds of millions

592
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: of dossier's on people is completely false. The reason I'm

593
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: asking the question is, having served on the committee now

594
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: for a dozen years, I don't really know what a

595
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: dossier is in this context. So what I wanted to

596
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: see is if you could give me a yes or

597
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: no answer to the question, does the n s A

598
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: collect any type of data at all on millions or

599
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of Americans? No, sir, it does not

600
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: not wittingly. There are cases where they could and it

601
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: brutin ly perhaps collect but not not wittingly. Oh they

602
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: collect data. Well, we've had people that contradict that on

603
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: this program. We've we have people that set up the

604
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: N s A program. Let's say that they are metadata

605
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: centers and places like Salt Lake City and elsewhere. And

606
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: then they all say the same thing. You know, Bill Benny,

607
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: thirty four year vet N s A said every single email,

608
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: every text, every phone call is all collected. So uh,

609
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: then you have in that those two instances comey lying

610
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: Clapper line. We went over yesterday how Brennan lied anyway.

611
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: Joining us to continue our deep dive this week, Sarah Carter,

612
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: investigative reporter, Fox News contributed Doug Shown, civil rights criminal

613
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: defense attorney, as we continue our five day investigation of

614
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: Robert Mueller and company. And Sarah, I think the headline

615
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: speaks volumes Robert Mueller, Andrew Weisman, the FBI and the

616
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: mob and and this. You know, if you look at

617
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: the top players here, not the rank and file. I

618
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen more by cases, are more

619
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: examples of withholding a sculpatory evidence of my life. Yeah,

620
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, these are just some of the older cases.

621
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: We're seeing the very beginnings of their careers and how

622
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: they protected one another and how close they were allies.

623
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Robert Mueller is a very close friend of

624
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: James Comey. They worked together on a number of cases.

625
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: Just to bring up the anthrax case to name one,

626
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: which which a lot of people said they botched. And

627
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: of course we know that they had been accusing an

628
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: innocent man and uh, it culminated in a suicide and

629
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: they missed the guy that actually did it. And now

630
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: you look at this past case in Boston and you

631
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: say to yourself, were four in four innocent men were

632
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: put in prison and they had evidence by the time

633
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: Mueller was there, and he was supervising over the FBI

634
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: as as the attorney general. He you know, there was

635
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: actual evidence that these men did not commit the murders

636
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: and that evidence was withheld. He wrote numerous letters denying

637
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: them parole. So a lot of people want to know,

638
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: did you know what was going on? Then those are

639
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: questions that he never answered. Then you go when Mueller

640
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: was head of the FBI, uh, you know, and that

641
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: you go to Ted Stevens, you know Senator Ted Stevens

642
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: in Alaska, who you know, was then accused by the

643
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: FBI of you know, a quid pro quo. Later found

644
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: out that there was no evidence there that people within

645
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: the FBI was held evidence. Um, he later died in

646
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: a plane crash in two thousand and ten. But you know,

647
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: he was exonerated, but not until after. I mean he

648
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: was pulled from from from his seat and uh and

649
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: he you know, and he lost and he was convicted

650
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: and then it was overturned. I mean, this is just

651
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: incredible step Sean, where if you look at the past,

652
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: just based on what the media had said about him

653
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: when he first came in, Oh, there's nobody better. This

654
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: is the guy. He's gonna he's gonna run this special,

655
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: special counsel with objectivity the scales of justice. But then

656
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: you go and look at past cases and you say

657
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: to yourself, no, really, maybe not. This is not what

658
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: he does. Um. He's a hard nosed guy prosecutor, and

659
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: he has a lot of friends that have done a

660
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: lot of things that are questionable, like Andrew Wiseman. And

661
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: don't forget Andrew Wiseman's email that was discovered by Judicial Watch.

662
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: You know, to Sally Yates for standing up to uh,

663
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: you know, to uh President Trump uh and and how

664
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: he louded her for By the way, it wasn't Andrew

665
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: Wiseman leaking to the press on Paul Manafort before he

666
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: was ever even appointed. Wouldn't that have rendered him, uh

667
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 1: incapable of taking the job? Well? You would, you would think.

668
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: And remember that was the meeting that he had with

669
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: the Associated Press. And this wasn't something that came from

670
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: one of his enemies. This was he was actually reported

671
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: by the FBI, you know, to the d o J

672
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: about talking to the Associated Press about Paul Manaford before

673
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: he was ever brought in on the case. And this

674
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,280
Speaker 1: was Andrew Wiseman. So there's a lot of con earned

675
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: here about the direction that the Special counsel is going

676
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: to take and how they're going to do this. And

677
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: I think one of the issues that is concerning everyone

678
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: is whether or not the President is going to choose

679
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: to speak to Robert Mueller. And there is a lot

680
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: of consensus among a lot of attorneys out there, very

681
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: well respected attorneys, that in no way should he speak

682
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: to them unless they can show some proof of some

683
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: type of crime. There's no way that the president should

684
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: talk to him, even though he wants to, even though

685
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't anything. He can't he's ever done anything wrong.

686
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: No good attorney wouldever allow the President of the United States,

687
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: I think, to testify, or if it did, it's got

688
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: to be very, very limited in the scope, and it's

689
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: got to be almost treated like a proffer beforehand. Everybody

690
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: knows what's going to be said David Show, and I

691
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't accept any other condition. I wouldn't right, and I

692
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't accept any conditions. There is absolutely no way that

693
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: this president should meet with Robert Mueller or anyone on

694
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: his staff, period, end of story. I don't care what

695
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: the political groundmar Let's say he doesn't do it. Let's

696
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: walk through that scenario, and Mueller holds his ground, Then

697
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: where do we go. Well, first of all, it should

698
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: be the lawyers. The lawyer clearly makes the call, and

699
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: the client ought to follow that decision. And it's not

700
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: on Mr Trump. No one, no one fairly should accuse

701
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: Mr Trump Trump of anything wrong by not meeting with

702
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: the special prosecutor. Look, today, there's a case reported. Let's

703
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: just so how far this thing is gone. There's an

704
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: associate from scadn Arps who played guilty not to any

705
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: underlying crime, but to lying or misleading Mr Mueller about

706
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: an email, etcetera. Those are the kinds of things that

707
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: people like Mueller and Weisseman and this team would look

708
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: to bring and that they have that authority under this

709
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: broad special counsel jurisdiction. Once the investigation begins, they can

710
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: charge people anyone who gets in their way, who they

711
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: unilaterally decide is lying with a crime. But I'd like

712
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: to say one more thing, if I can to back

713
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: up to your discussion a second ago, Sarah Carter's piece

714
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: is the definitive piece on this on this matter, Mueller

715
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: and Weissman, etcetera, and your show this past week should

716
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: be recorded and played by everyone in the country. Sarah

717
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: Carter's article should be hanging on every ice box. And

718
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: why because, as she has said, um, let's look to

719
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: the past to predict the future. You know where they

720
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: teach that The FBI Academy teaches all of its new

721
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: agents that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

722
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: Can read Ronald Kessler on that. Well, Mr Mueller has

723
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: tried to put all of these things in the past

724
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: refused to answer questions from the media, and he has said,

725
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: as we discussed before, what happened back then was a

726
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: long time ago. Well, you know what, let's bring it

727
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: a little bit closer. In Today's New York Times, they

728
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: say in an editorial, Mr Mueller in any way represents

729
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: Mr Trump's polar opposite. Mueller is a man who has

730
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: devoted his life to respecting and enforcing the law. Really, well,

731
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: that's not what the New York Times said just a

732
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, when The New York Times was

733
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: decrying Mr Mueller's role in what they New York Times

734
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: characterized as severe abuses at the detention facility in Brooklyn

735
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: after nine eleven. It's not what the New York Times

736
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: said when the Mr Muller and the government were required

737
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: to pay the Jipintary had to pay Dr Hatfill four

738
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: point six million dollars for a botched investigation led by

739
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: Mr Muller. So that's what Look how politics makes strange

740
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: bedfellas the pure unadulterated hatred of Mr Trump. Trump's everything.

741
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: And so now Mr Muller is a hero for even

742
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: those people who back then thought he was the worst.

743
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: But the narrative went through. This is the point. We

744
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: didn't do the deep dive until recently, and everything I

745
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: learned about is his activities and his work in Boston.

746
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,439
Speaker 1: As I said to you earlier this week, Sarah, now

747
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: I understand why he hired Andrew Weisman. Andrew Weisman has

748
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: his atrocious record, you know of of overreaching and withholding

749
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: evidence and being overturned nine zero in the Supreme Court,

750
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: sending innocent people to jail, overturned Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

751
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: Because it seems that Mueller had the exact same background,

752
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: he understands how far Wiseman is going to go? Right, Sean,

753
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a man who has had long

754
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: time relationship with Andrew Wiseman. He knows him well, He

755
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: worked with him at the FBI, he made him as

756
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: general counsel for several years. He's had a close relationship

757
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: with Komy, which should have conflicted him out anyways from

758
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: being special counsel, because how can he fairly address this

759
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: issue when James Komy was fired by the president, which

760
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: the President had every right and every authority to do

761
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: so when he did, and which by the way, the

762
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: Democrats wanted even months before the president fired him. The

763
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: Democrats were dragging Komey's name through the mud because of

764
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: what he did during the investigation and then coming back

765
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: and reopening again on Hillary Clinton. So now you have

766
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: everybody kind of louding just as as as David Shone said,

767
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the New York Times, it's like they

768
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,959
Speaker 1: think people aren't going to remember the past. They think

769
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: we're not going to go back and look at historic records.

770
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: Well you are. And there are questions that Muller still

771
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: has to answer. And there's a lot of concern about

772
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: Mueller and his past and the cases that he was

773
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: involved in. And we're not taking away from things that

774
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: he may have done in his life that should be allouded,

775
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: like his service in the military. But when you look

776
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: at the cases on their face, when you look at

777
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: those cases, you have to question where he is going

778
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: with this against President Trump. Where is he going answer

779
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: your own question? He is going to try to entrap

780
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: President Trump based on his past. All he needs is

781
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: for President Trump to start talking, to not remember something correctly,

782
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 1: to not turn over some kind of email to open

783
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: the door. Look, even if he gives a written statement,

784
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: even if he gives a written statement to Robert Mueller.

785
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: He's opening the door. He does not and he should not,

786
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: according to the people that I've spoken with, speak with

787
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: Robert Mueller unless Mueller has some reason to speak with

788
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: him and he has to prove something we gotta you

789
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: can break more of our investigation week long investigation into

790
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: Robert Muller and his merry band of Clinton Obama, d

791
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: n C supporters and donors, and it's a history of corruption.

792
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: It's a history literally of breaking the rules and pretty

793
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: much doing everything that they want and in many instances

794
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: even getting caught doing it, but they pay no penalty.

795
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: We wrap up our investigation today. Of the investigators will

796
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: have more tonight on Hannity on the Fox News Channel.

797
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter and David Schoner with us as we do

798
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: our deep dive into who is the special counsel, Who

799
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: is Robert Mueller, what is his background and experience and

800
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: everything that we seem to be discovering is beyond troubling.

801
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: On top of the relationship that exists between all of

802
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: the McCabe and Muller and Come and Rosenstein and everybody

803
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: else involved in this, it's pretty amazing how many times

804
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: their paths have crossed, and of course we have a

805
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: stacked deck as it relates to the Special Council, all Democrats,

806
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: all donating to Clinton and and the d n C

807
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: and Obama. So this now raises the question, with all

808
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 1: that we're discovering and all that we know, will there

809
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: be a second special counsel to investigate the FBI, the

810
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: Department of Justice, what happened with the FISA court, what

811
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: happened with the Clinton email investigation? Who paid for the

812
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: dossiers that all coming Sarah Carter. I believe it is

813
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: um and according to the sources that I've spoken with,

814
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to happen. I think that

815
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: what we'll see is first the Inspector General's report will

816
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: come out, and I think this Inspector General's report is

817
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: going to be explosive. And are we getting this? We've

818
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: been waiting, We've been waiting, and look, he's interviewing more people.

819
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: That's what I've been told. There's certain things that he's

820
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: trying to button up before he releases this. It could

821
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: be any time. I know they said that already, but

822
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: according to some of the sources I've spoken with, the

823
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: Inspector General Michael Horowitz is now reinvestigating some issues and

824
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: interviewing possibly more witnesses and people for his report, which

825
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: will be released I believe within the next two to

826
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: three weeks. I think it's that point the Department of Justice.

827
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: It will be up to them to decide whether or

828
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: not a second special counsel is necessary. I've been hearing

829
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: that is where they are moving. Remember, there's a lot

830
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: of pressure from Senator grass Lee. He's got quite a

831
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: bit of powers and ahead of the Senate Judiciary Committee

832
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: he's the chairman. Others, good lot others have called for

833
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: this second special counsel. It's it's going to happen, Sean.

834
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: There really is no way around it right now. Last word, David,

835
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, Mr Anny Um and I say

836
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: this after a lot of thought. No one else has

837
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: exposed what you're exposing on this Muller team, about Mueller

838
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: and Wiseman, You and Sarah Carter about Muller and Wiseman,

839
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,959
Speaker 1: about the team, about the makeup of the team, which

840
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: is not coincidental. It should outrage people if they'll just

841
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: listen and take a look for themselves into this. And

842
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: by the way, just how dangerous it is. Mr Trump

843
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: were to meet with them. The people should understand this.

844
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: If Mr Trump said something and twelve priests and rabbis said,

845
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: it's absolutely true. If Mr Mueller said, you know what,

846
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's true. Mr Mueller has a discretion

847
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 1: to charge a crime. Now, that's pretty outrageous. But that's

848
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: the fact. It's unilateral decision. And I can see them

849
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: all on the team high fiving each other afterwards that

850
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: they got him in there. And here's what they're gonna

851
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,760
Speaker 1: call a crime or a lie at which becomes a crime.

852
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: It's absolutely outrageous. But that's just how dangerous it is.

853
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: No criminal defense lawyer worth his or her assault, which

854
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: laughed Mr Trump to go in and meet with Mr Mueller, period.

855
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: All right, we'll have more on Hannity tonight one sewn

856
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 1: on this Friday. We'll check in with Congressman Dave Bratt.

857
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna join us. Also, our financial Fridays are back.

858
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you can take measures to protect yourself and your family.

859
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: That's straight ahead, all right, Glad your with us a

860
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 1: hundred one SEWN toll free telephone number. You want to

861
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. News Round Up information

862
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: overload our As we are joined by Congressman Dave Bratt

863
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: of Virginia, let's go back earlier news today. Obviously, if

864
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: you're conservative, you're not happy at the one point three

865
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: trillion dollar omnibus bill. President was was clearly agitated today.

866
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: Here's his explanation. The last time we negotiated something like this,

867
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: and as you know, it's always been a problem for

868
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: our country. They get together and they create a series

869
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: of documents that nobody has been able to read because

870
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: it was it was just done. Now you tell me

871
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: who can read that quickly. Takes a long time to

872
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: read it. For the last eight years, deep defense cuts

873
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: have undermined our national security. How old are and they

874
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: just if you look at what's taken out, they've hallowed

875
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: our readiness as a military unit and put America at

876
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: really grave risk. My highest duty is to keep America safe,

877
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: nothing more important. The Omnibus bill reverses this dangerous defense

878
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: As crazy as it's been, as difficult as it's been,

879
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: as much opposition to the military as we've had from

880
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: the Democrats, and it has been tremendous. I try to

881
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: explain to them, you know, the military is for Republicans

882
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: and Democrats and everybody else, for everybody, but we have

883
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:18,959
Speaker 1: tremendous opposition to creating really what will be the far

884
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: by far the strongest military that we've ever had. We've

885
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: had that from the Democrats. So if we take something

886
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: for the military, they want something for in many cases

887
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: things that are really a wasted sum of money, and

888
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: it's not right and it's very bad for our country.

889
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: We're looking to do funding for our final fight in

890
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: certain areas. As you know, we've gotten just about of

891
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: our land back from ISSIS. We have troop increases necessary

892
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: to accomplish what we have to do, and we have

893
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: very importantly a pay increase for our troops and will

894
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: be actually the largest pay increase for our incredible people

895
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: in over a decade. It increases total defense spending by

896
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: more than sixty billion dollars from last year and funds

897
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: the addition of critically needed chips, planes, helicopters, tanks, and submarines.

898
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: We have submarines being built, the likes of which there's

899
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: nothing anywhere in the world like the submarines we build.

900
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 1: Our military equipment is the best equipment in the world.

901
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: And one of the things you saw two days ago

902
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: with Saudi Arabia and with other countries. Saudi Arabia, as

903
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: an example, is buying hundreds of billions of dollars worth

904
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: of our equipment, and we're getting very fast approvals on that. Therefore,

905
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: is a matter of national security. I've signed this omnibus

906
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: budget bill. There are a lot of things that I'm

907
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: unhappy about in this bill. There are a lot of

908
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: things that we shouldn't have had in this bill, but

909
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: we were, in a sense forced if we want to

910
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: build our military, we were forced to have. There are

911
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: some things that we should have in the bill. But

912
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill

913
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: like this again. I'm not gonna do it again. Nobody

914
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: read it. It's only hours old. Some people don't even

915
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: know what it is. At one point three trillion dollars,

916
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 1: it's the second largest ever. President Obama signed one that

917
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: was actually larger, which I'm sure he wasn't too happy

918
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: with either. But in this case it became so big

919
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: because we need to take care of our military, and

920
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: because the Democrats, we don't believe in that added things

921
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: that they wanted in order to get their votes. We

922
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: have to get rid of the filibuster rule. We have

923
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: to get rid of the filipbuster rule and go to

924
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: fifty one votes in the Senate and we're going to

925
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: have really sustain ain't continued success. DOCTA recipients have been

926
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: treated extremely badly by the Democrats. We wanted to include data.

927
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: We wanted to have them in this bill. Eight hundred

928
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: thousand people and actually it could even be more. And

929
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: we wanted to include data in this bill. The Democrats

930
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: would not do it. They would not do it. To

931
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: prevent the omnibus situation from ever happening again, I'm calling

932
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 1: on Congress to give me a line item veto for

933
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 1: all government spending bills, and the Senate must end. They

934
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: must end the filibuster rule and get down to work.

935
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: We have to get a lot of great legislation approved,

936
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 1: and without the filibuster rule, it'll happen just like magic.

937
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: I want to address the situation on border security, which

938
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: I call national defense. I call it stopping drugs from

939
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: pouring across our border, and I call it illegal immigration.

940
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: It's all of those things, but national defenses are very

941
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: important two words because by having a strong border system,

942
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: including a wall, we are in a position militarily that

943
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: is very advantageous. And before I get off of that subject,

944
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: I'd like to ask Secretary Mattis to talk about what

945
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: we've accomplished in terms of the military, because there has

946
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: never been anything like we've been able to do. Our

947
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: military is very depleted, but it's rapidly getting better and

948
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: in a short period of time it will be stronger

949
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: than it has ever been now. Congressman Dave Bratt was

950
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: also on with my friend Stewart Barney on the Fox

951
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: Business Network and here's what he had to say, and

952
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: thought he made some really good points. This is the

953
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: premier issue he ran on, and he's getting nothing at

954
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: the end of the year, right, and this is our

955
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: our big leverage moment in the Polks back home may

956
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: not know the Senate put in the last budget that

957
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: they're not even gonna do a budget next year, so

958
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 1: no chance for wall funding, no chance to get the

959
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: good lad bill. His team is for it, but he's

960
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: got some advisors they're just saying, just go along to

961
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: get along. Let that another trillion deficit this year, trillion

962
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: of debt we're passing right now, and we've got a

963
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: hundred trillion and unfunded liability this budget. All right, Congressman

964
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: Pratt from the Commonwealth of Virginia joins us. Now he's

965
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: part of the Freedom Caucus. I told you that the

966
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: only people you can trust to keep their promises in Washington,

967
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: especially in Congress. Uh he's upset about this is Uh.

968
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: I am upset about this. And what's really despicable as

969
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: you look at this, this massive omnibus bill, in all

970
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: of this, you know, and God bless Rand Paul in

971
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: the Senate for reading this thing, is that the only

972
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: good thing we seem to get out of it is

973
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: rebuilding our military. But the price is so high to

974
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: get that one when it's the number one responsibility of

975
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: these people. Where is the Republican vision for conservatism or

976
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 1: does it just not exist anymore? Dave Brett Yeah, yeah, Sean, Yeah,

977
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: I think you're right. We need to put together a

978
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: contract for America. Again. The problem is we always run

979
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: into these deadlines, and that's when the swamp wins. Right,

980
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: we have no leverage and so as if day one,

981
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: the president needs to do but Dave, you know and

982
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: I know they they create artificial deadlines. So that's that's

983
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: then they then then negotiated all in secret. Then they

984
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: don't give you any time to read the bill. The

985
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: Republican leadership is as bad, and frankly maybe worse because

986
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: they should know better than the Democrats. Right, and that

987
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: clip you just played the president the Senate technically voted

988
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: that we won't do a budget next year, but they

989
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: still can't. If the President says this is total only,

990
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: my agenda isn't getting through, and we're not not waiting

991
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: until November to see how the election goes. We're gonna

992
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: do my agenda prior to November. He can tell the

993
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: Senate they have to do a budget and they still

994
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: can't write. There's there's ways to do that. We can

995
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: do reconciliation where you need fifty one votes. That's how

996
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: we got taxed through. Now we need to do immigration

997
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: using that and welfare reform. And but we're funding planned

998
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: parent hood, which one's ads against Republicans, so taxpayers are paying,

999
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 1: and Republicans just passed the bill to run ads against ourselves.

1000
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's pretty phenomenal. Listen. I'm just I'm

1001
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest, and I'm I'm being totally honest

1002
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: with our audience. I have lost all hope in this

1003
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: Republican leadership I have. I have no faith or hope

1004
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: in what they do anymore. They're such swamp quick creatures.

1005
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: They are so immersed in the culture of d C.

1006
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they realize how bad they've gotten.

1007
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: And by that is, you know, when you spend seven

1008
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: years congressmen promising the American people something is deep and

1009
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: profound as repealing and replacing Obamacare, you have sixties sixty

1010
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: five show votes. So every time you go back to

1011
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: the district gets I just voted this week to repeal

1012
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: and replace Obamacare. And then when it really matters, when

1013
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: you have a president that would replace Obamacare and a

1014
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: hundred Republicans are like to Timid, oh no, no, I

1015
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: didn't really mean it. And seven Senate Democrats that have

1016
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: voted to repeal Obamacare just two years prior, and then

1017
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna work this time and they change their mind

1018
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: on the exact same bill. I I don't have faith

1019
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,919
Speaker 1: in those people. There's not enough Freedom Caucus guys. There's

1020
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: not enough conservatives in the Republican Caucus. And frankly, the

1021
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: moderates and the whiney rhinos, you know, run rough shot

1022
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: of everybody. Yeah, and so I mean, we've got to

1023
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: get the president out front. He's got the megaphone right

1024
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: now to call for what you just said. Can you

1025
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: imagine if we would have come in the first week

1026
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: and repealed Obamacare instead of socializing right now, we're doing

1027
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: subsidies to Obamacare to keep socialism alive. I mean, it's unbelievable.

1028
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: That would have changed the dynamics. Then you have free market,

1029
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: one scrip of the economy, healthcare people to be happy

1030
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: on that front. You do tax cuts, and then you

1031
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: do immigration. Immigration is still the number one issue. It's

1032
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: over Obamacare and in the latest polling, and people want

1033
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: to see some clarity, and then they want to see

1034
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: that there's not two justices. Um like you play every night, right,

1035
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: we are leadership. They can do that. Trump and our

1036
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: leadership come sorrow. I can say we're gonna run the

1037
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: second investigation and get some closure and say yes, these

1038
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: investigations are going forward. There's not two systems of justice

1039
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: in this country. We're still a nation under law for everybody.

1040
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: And we can do that tomorrow. And I believe that

1041
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: the American people are roaring right now. You can hear

1042
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: it out there and they are not happy. Well you

1043
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: do you do know that? I mean, I don't have

1044
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: a relationship with these guys anymore. None. And because I'm

1045
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: not taking their their lies, their bs and everything else,

1046
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm just not doing it. And I look at this

1047
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, oh, everybody wants to get home. And

1048
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: now the president's decision, every decision is gonna make. Here

1049
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: is a bad decision because okay, he wants the military spending.

1050
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: We desperately need our military built back up because it's

1051
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: been decimated. So your hold hostage the president. If he

1052
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: wants military spending, then he's got to pay for everything.

1053
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: And then so it's ridiculous. The whole system is screwed up. Yeah. Well,

1054
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: on on the fiscal front, we just locked in until

1055
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: September for a disaster. That's the swamp, right, That's that

1056
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: shows it that. But I'm not giving up. Hope, there's

1057
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: the fight. The American people are there rallying, and we

1058
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: use it the four November and so we can do reconciliation.

1059
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: And we need to call on leadership to do it.

1060
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: And the President needs to call on leadership, House and

1061
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Senate to do reconciliation to get our priorities through the

1062
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Senate doesn't want to have to take a vote on anything, right,

1063
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: that's why they did that. They said, we're not going

1064
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: to do a vote because they want to hide under

1065
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: their desk, and that's not acceptable. And if if we don't,

1066
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 1: November is not gonna be pleasant. Well, I mean they've

1067
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: had every opportunity. You know, the way to win elections,

1068
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't think is that complicated. You you have a vision,

1069
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: you go out there your campaign on your vision, and

1070
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: then you go and you stay true to your principles

1071
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: and you fulfill every promise you possibly can, and then

1072
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: you go for re election and you tell people we're

1073
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: better off because conservatism works better than what Obama, Pelosi

1074
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: and the Democrats are offering. And yet you know, we

1075
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: still can't get Republicans on one page united even to

1076
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: repeal and replace Obamacare. We can't get them united on

1077
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: on being fiscally responsible. So it's kind of hard when

1078
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: you have a general and you have no soldiers behind them. Yeah, well,

1079
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: and you're right. I mean I did that right, So

1080
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: I went, I got a score with everybody's small visitors

1081
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: attack is everything, health care, free market everything. So I

1082
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: went kept my promise. But there's a wave in Virginia,

1083
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: building a blue wave, and we need to stop it,

1084
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: and we need everybody on the same message and page right.

1085
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: That's our problem if we're not messaging at the unity

1086
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats. Congressman I've i laid out a Republican contract

1087
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: with America, a Conservative Solutions Caucus, and here we are

1088
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: five years later, and they didn't want to adopt it

1089
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: then because it would hold them accountable, and they don't

1090
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: want to adopt it now. Let's be honest. That's what

1091
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: we need. That's what we need is accountability from you,

1092
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: the American people. And uh, they can do it, but

1093
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: the American people need to send the signal as to

1094
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: what they want very loud and clear right now, stay

1095
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: right there. More with Congressman Dave Pratt. He's with the

1096
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus. They did not support this omnibus spending bill.

1097
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: They held strong. Uh, we'll get back to that and

1098
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: more on the twenty eighteen elections and people like Dave

1099
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Bretti and targeted unfairly because he is a real conservative.

1100
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: Quick break right back, and we will continue Sean Hannity

1101
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Show right as we continue. Congressman Dave Bratt is well,

1102
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: those Freedom Caucus member, and let me go to your district.

1103
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: You um you want. You defeated the House. I guess

1104
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: he was the majority leader at the time. And if

1105
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, when you took on Eric Cantor and

1106
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: that was it was like a political earthquake because Congress,

1107
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, the turnover is so small every given year.

1108
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: But and and you've stuck true to what you believe in.

1109
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: But now you're being targeted in the election for what

1110
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: reason considering you're one of the few guys that actually

1111
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: kept your promises. Well, I think that's precisely why. Right,

1112
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats in the left, when I go on TV

1113
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: and explain Obamacare or explain tax cuts and who's better

1114
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 1: off and why and why Republican policy is better, they

1115
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: don't like that, right, And so you get rid of

1116
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the messenger. And so I got a target on my

1117
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: back from the Democrats because I'm effective at conveying they

1118
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: can't run on policy. You, they don't have an alternative

1119
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: for all. They run on I hate Trump, I hate Trump,

1120
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: I hate Trump right there, just running and then you'll

1121
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: see in the districts they're gonna run on all negative, right,

1122
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: it will be the politics of personal destruction negativity. You

1123
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 1: can go out to all the Democrats sites and seeing

1124
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: blue Virginia. Go out and look at my Facebook right now.

1125
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: It's all four letter words by the Democrats who are

1126
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: calling for unity and our values. They say, there's for

1127
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: our values and unity and getting along, and go look

1128
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: at their language. I went to seminary. None of it

1129
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: from me. I just run on policy, and that's why

1130
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: the American people need to make a real choice coming

1131
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: up here right right back. The people that are doing

1132
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: the right thing for the right reasons, they sell true.

1133
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I got a hundred percent school with everybody. We need

1134
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: more conservatives in Congress, and I know a lot of

1135
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: people be primary this year, and when that happens, we're

1136
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna go through a list and let people know how

1137
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: he can. The answer is as a group of conservatives

1138
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 1: that are elected, not Republicans Conservatives. Dave Pratt, thank you

1139
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: eight nine for one, Shawn toll Free telephone number of

1140
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: the hours, eight hundred nine for one, Shawn Toldfrey telephone. Alright,

1141
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: this horrific omnibus bill. There is no strong conservative Republican

1142
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: party anymore. It doesn't exist. I mean, it's just a

1143
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: frustrating day all the way around. Now we have April

1144
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: fifteenth is coming, and I know everybody, everybody I've been

1145
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: talking to recently. Oh, Dad, to do my taxes. Uh,

1146
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: I gotta do my taxes. And it's so annoying and

1147
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: complicated and frustrated. You've got the new tax bill passed

1148
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: at the end of last year. Um, we barely know

1149
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: if we're coming and going with UM with money Now

1150
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: full disclosure, let me give you the background of our

1151
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: next guests. So I was a local host in Atlanta

1152
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: and there was a show on Saturday afternoon. It was

1153
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: a major hit. It was the Gene Henselers Show, and

1154
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: they talked about money. And I remember at one point,

1155
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: at this point in my life and this is two,

1156
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: I didn't have any money. I didn't so to speak.

1157
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I managed to buy my first house in

1158
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta for like a hundred and thirteen thousand dollars. I

1159
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: was the happiest person on earth to get that first home.

1160
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: That's why when I talk about forgotten men and women, well,

1161
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: it's important because every American should strive to have that

1162
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: dream happen. It was a modest house, but I loved it.

1163
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: At the end of a cul de sac. It was

1164
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: kind of buried in a little valley. I painted it.

1165
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: I I redid the inside, I did the kitchen floor,

1166
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: redid that. I was doing my little you know, honey

1167
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: dew projects and all that sort, and I loved it,

1168
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: and I was very very happy. Anyway, I didn't never

1169
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: thought I would at any point. I never got into

1170
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: radio to get paid, to be honest, I did it

1171
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: because I loved it. But ever since then, Gene Henslow's

1172
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: firm is now basically the president CEO of it is

1173
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: Bill Laco, who's with us. I have used them for

1174
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: my financial dealings, all of them full disclosure, and we've

1175
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: done some business deals together and so on and so forth.

1176
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: But Um, in many ways, Bill, I'm I'm still that

1177
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: kid that that you guys took on as a charity case.

1178
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: To be blunt back in Atlanta. I mean, you know

1179
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: you would never at that time, you weren't taking people

1180
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: like me that had pretty much zero Netwell, that wor

1181
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: true statement. That's a true statement. And now I'm the

1182
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: best client you have. But that's an amazing American success story.

1183
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: Probably the most annoying to UM. One of the things

1184
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Bill and I have robust conversations all the time, and

1185
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: we're watching the roller coaster ride that is the stock

1186
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: market and losing what seven twelve yesterday? I was down

1187
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: and up today both you know, going all over the place.

1188
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: But Bill likes the stock market, especially if you're not

1189
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: gonna need money over ten years, and he lays out

1190
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: a great case for that. But I disagree with him.

1191
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: I just don't have the stomach for the what is

1192
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 1: the roller coaster ride of the stock market? So, you know,

1193
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: slowly but surely, um, I convinced him that I was

1194
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: more interested in bricks and mortar and real estate investments

1195
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: and things like that. And I think I've convinced you

1196
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: that I had a pretty good plan. I don't know.

1197
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: I'll let you speak for yourself. No, you did, you did?

1198
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: You stressed us pretty good, though, But we we've got it.

1199
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: It's running. What do you mean I stressed you pretty

1200
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: What do I mean I stressed you pretty good? Well,

1201
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: we weren't in the real estate business back then, so well,

1202
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: you said get in the business, and we got in it.

1203
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 1: We know how to do it now, you know. But

1204
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: I think most people, and I want to get to

1205
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: everybody because It's so sad that so many people that

1206
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: I know and uh struggle financially trying to put their

1207
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: kids through college and a college fund, that trying to

1208
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: save for a rainy day, that trying to maybe take

1209
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: a vacation a year. You know, everybody's gulping water. It's sad,

1210
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: it's hard, and that's what I want to wanted to

1211
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: bring you on today. How do people accumulate more wealth

1212
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: and get to save more for their future? That's really

1213
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: the fundamental question. Well, I think it. You know, it

1214
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: starts with having a decent tax plan. And there's a

1215
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: couple of things I wanted to touch on and I will.

1216
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: But but the first thing is is that most people

1217
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: in America have a four O one K plan. Most

1218
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: people in America have their company that will match that

1219
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: for when K plan. I gave a talk at Kennesaw

1220
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: State University, now the I think the third largest university

1221
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: in Georgia. That wasn't that big when you were here, Sean.

1222
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: I asked the question of the audience. I said, how

1223
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: many of you have for owhen K plans? I'll raise

1224
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: your hand, how many of you contribute half of them?

1225
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Raise your hand? How many of you have matching for

1226
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: when K plans, all of them raise their hands. So

1227
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't know any place in the world where you

1228
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: can get a great to return on your investment then

1229
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 1: by putting at least the match in the four one

1230
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: K plan. And oh, by the way, it's tax deductible.

1231
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,919
Speaker 1: The simple Let's start with the average person, because most

1232
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,719
Speaker 1: people I know spend beyond their means. And I worked

1233
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: my whole life in a business where I always thought

1234
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,799
Speaker 1: I was getting fired the next day. And I remember

1235
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: when I bought that first home. It was in Roswell, Georgia,

1236
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 1: d thousand dollars, and I remember I knew that if

1237
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,679
Speaker 1: I got fired, I'd be able to afford the house

1238
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: payments for at least two years. And I said, Okay,

1239
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: now I felt safe for knowing I could do that. Sure. Well, look,

1240
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,560
Speaker 1: I think the first thing people have to do is

1241
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: take a look at their budget. Nobody wants to do this.

1242
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you Sean. People do not wake

1243
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: up in the morning and say, oh, let's go get

1244
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 1: a financial plan today, or oh, let's look at our budget.

1245
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: Generally something happens to force you to go, I better

1246
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: take a look at this. This is tax time. April

1247
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 1: seventeenth this year is the cut off. This is a

1248
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: good time to look at it for for a couple

1249
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 1: of reasons. One is you gotta file seventeen. Eighteen is

1250
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: completely different. I mean, if you think the way you

1251
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: followed in seventeen is gonna be the same, it's not.

1252
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: And I'll explain that here in a second. But this

1253
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: is a good time just to kind of look at

1254
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: where you spend money. And the reality is, I don't know,

1255
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: maybe he shouldn't spend money in Starbucks. I mean, I'm

1256
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: not picking on Starbucks, but if you need to cut somewhere,

1257
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: well maybe they've cheaper coffee. I don't know. I mean,

1258
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: they can get better coffee from the Black Rifle Coffee Company,

1259
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, they're gonna save money. But no, this is important.

1260
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: So you're saying for everybody, it would be a good idea,

1261
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 1: make a budget to sit down and I'm not gonna

1262
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 1: spend above this, and I'm gonna put X number of

1263
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: dollars away every week, every month, every two weeks for savings. Listen,

1264
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:35,719
Speaker 1: when I started working for Giine when I was twenty

1265
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: three years old, he said, Bill, all you have to

1266
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 1: do is save ten percent of what you earn, spend

1267
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: the rest. It won't matter. By the time you're my age,

1268
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: you will be more wealthy than you ever thought you

1269
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: were gonna be. I didn't believe him, so I saved

1270
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 1: twenty and he's absolutely right. I mean, I'm pushing fifty

1271
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: now and I have more money than I thought I

1272
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: would ever have. I mean, I grew up poor, you know,

1273
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: in Stone Mountain, not unlike you Sean in terms of background,

1274
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 1: doing construction, drive for dominoes in the whole nine yards.

1275
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: You work hard, you climb the ladder, you get some play. Well,

1276
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: you gotta be saving along the way. You just have

1277
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: to so to be do. But most Americans don't save.

1278
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: So this has to be a conscious choice that you're

1279
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to cut, and maybe maybe you can. You

1280
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: don't buy the bigger house, you get the smaller house.

1281
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: You don't get the new car, you get the used car.

1282
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 1: By the way, everyone buys a new car, new car

1283
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: and thinks everyone's looking at them, and nobody gives a

1284
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:22,839
Speaker 1: rip what you're driving. Nobody cares. That's a true statement.

1285
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: That's such a true statement. And but I won't I

1286
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: really need those new Porsche I'm like, why you don't

1287
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: need it? Maybe that's the criteria. Do you really need

1288
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: the things you're buying? You know, you know Lidi bys

1289
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: most of her clothes on Amazon. She tells me, well,

1290
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't what's wrong with that? Nothing? Clark Howard? You

1291
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: know what Clark Howard would do? Coward? He used to

1292
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 1: buy it from the good will shop. I mean God,

1293
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 1: and God bless him and and he looked great. Well,

1294
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: look this is you know, a lot of times people

1295
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: can't do this on their own. It's very emotional, and

1296
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: that's why they hire professionals. And you know, I think

1297
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: being able to sit down with somebody and look at

1298
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: your situation and say how much do I need to

1299
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 1: be saving to be able to retire? Is it stunning?

1300
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Is stunning to most people who come in it. It

1301
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: can actually be very shocking. And I get it because

1302
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: we have a lot of young employees here and they have,

1303
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, one to three children, and it's hard to

1304
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: make ends meet. It is, but what about other options?

1305
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: Should people think about maybe a second job that they

1306
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:29,480
Speaker 1: just save money for maybe one day a week? Absolutely,

1307
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean anyway you can either increase your revenue or

1308
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: cut your expenditures is the best thing to do, and

1309
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: then to save it. Now, what you do with it

1310
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: after you save it is another question. All right, So

1311
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about a long term plan for the average

1312
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: person that's gonna maybe follow your advice, work a little more,

1313
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: save a little more, and what should they be doing

1314
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: with their money, what should they be investing in? Well,

1315
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: I think initially, you've gotta have, like you did Seohn,

1316
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 1: you have to have an emergency reserve set aside. You know,

1317
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 1: whether that's three months or six months, some people want

1318
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: one year. That is no real right number. It's really

1319
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: based upon your situation. And what I mean by that is, Okay,

1320
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: do you have adequate healthcare? Do you have disability insurance?

1321
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 1: So if something bad were to happen, you'll be able

1322
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: to to pay your bills? And how quickly can you

1323
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: be reemployed? If you know you could be reemployed in

1324
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: three months, well then ninety days is probably enough. If

1325
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: you're in a profession where it might take you six

1326
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 1: months to nine months to a year, well then you

1327
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: better have a little more emergency preserve set aside. And

1328
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: that's just generally going to be in a CD or

1329
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: money market and you're not gonna earn anything. It's really

1330
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 1: there for you to be able to call on when

1331
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: you need to, So that would be cash availability. Now

1332
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 1: why do you have? And you and I have fought

1333
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: about this at length, and I think I have. Literally

1334
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: the reason you've lost so much hair in recent years

1335
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: is because of me. But but you have more faith

1336
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: in the stock market than I do. To me, it's gambling.

1337
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't trust it, but you do trust it well.

1338
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 1: I trust. I trust the big companies. I trust the

1339
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: the financially strong companies. I trust that people need more

1340
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 1: toothbrushes and toilet paper and tampons and all the things

1341
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: that people need um to live. I trust that I

1342
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 1: know people are gonna go to McDonald's. I don't really

1343
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,640
Speaker 1: care where the stock market is today. I mean I

1344
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: had I had a meeting last night with a friend

1345
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 1: and he was all panic because the market was down

1346
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,560
Speaker 1: seven points. I'm like, who cares? First of all, do

1347
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: you need the money? No? Well, why do you care?

1348
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really understand that. You know, quite frankly,

1349
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm saving right, I got another twenty years to work.

1350
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 1: I just sume this thing fall in half, and I

1351
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: keep buying the only day I really care where the

1352
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 1: stock market is the day I'm selling, right. So if

1353
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm buying all along, well I don't you know, just

1354
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 1: keep buying all along where I see people? Really everybody

1355
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 1: your rule. You have a ten year rule. We do. Look,

1356
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: it's very simple. If you need money out of your

1357
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: portfolio in the next ten years, can never be in growth,

1358
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 1: can't be in stocks, can't be in real estate. Why

1359
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: because they go down a value and and Murphy's law

1360
01:13:58,560 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 1: is going to be the year you need the money,

1361
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: it'll be down in half and you've lost half your money.

1362
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 1: So if you need the money in the next ten years,

1363
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: you gotta buy a fixed income security, a c D,

1364
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: A bond, immuni bond, something like that, something safe and secure.

1365
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: If you don't need the money in the next ten years,

1366
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: where else you're gonna put it? I mean, attend your

1367
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 1: treasury days paying two point EIGHTHO. Not a lot of money.

1368
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,720
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get rich on that, you know. So

1369
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: about the end of the go ahead, at the end

1370
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: of no, I mean at the end, at the end

1371
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: of the day. You have to have some perspective, which means,

1372
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: in order for things to grow, you do have to

1373
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: be willing to put up with a little volatility. I

1374
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: don't believe I would not go by a stock on

1375
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: the Chinese Stock Exchange because I don't trust their accounting.

1376
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: But I trust our accounting. It's very transparent, and so

1377
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with the earnings that are predicted by most

1378
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 1: of these companies. I'm not buying Wildcat oil. You we

1379
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: were talking about Disney, Home Depot, Johnson and Johnson. I mean, good,

1380
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 1: strong companies. I mean, you know, even intercession people still

1381
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: go to Disney. That's true too. And by the way,

1382
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: you have history to prove it. What about the new

1383
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: tax law and and how is this going to impact

1384
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: the average person? Well, I think the average person is

1385
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: probably gonna be very shocked. And I don't mean that

1386
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: their taxes are going to go up necessarily. But look,

1387
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: everyone got a pay raise the end of February early

1388
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: March because the the withholding tables changed, so your take

1389
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: home pay actually went up. And so my suspicion is

1390
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: most people are sitting around saying, m well, that means

1391
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:27,599
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna owe as much taxes, And I'm telling

1392
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 1: you that's not necessarily the case. You better get a

1393
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,600
Speaker 1: tax projection done. Whether you go to H and R

1394
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 1: Block or use Turbo Tax or them forbidcoming our firm,

1395
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: you need to get um a tax projection done. This

1396
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: is the perfect time to do it because you've got

1397
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: to do your taxes anyway and make sure you're withholding

1398
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 1: enough because by law, if you make less than a

1399
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: hundred fifty grand a year, you have to hold in

1400
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:52,600
Speaker 1: either a percent of last year's tax liability or of

1401
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 1: your current years tax liability. To be perfectly Honestean, I

1402
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: do this for a living. I don't know either one

1403
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: of those numbers. I couldn't tell you today how much

1404
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:00,680
Speaker 1: I've paid into taxes. I mean have a c p A.

1405
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: I write to check, I hold my nose and I

1406
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,479
Speaker 1: move on. That doesn't mean I don't try to take

1407
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 1: advantage of all the text you know, loopholes and deductions

1408
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: that are available. Not saying that, but off the top

1409
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 1: of my head, I could not tell you what those

1410
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 1: two numbers are. I gotta take a break. Bill Laco

1411
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,879
Speaker 1: is with us. He happens to be my personal financial

1412
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,719
Speaker 1: guy and has literally managed me since I've had zero

1413
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: dollars in my pocket. Um And is there anyone else

1414
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: as a client that you have that disagrees with you

1415
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: more than me and is obnoxious about it as me,

1416
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:31,640
Speaker 1: I can honestly stay. The answer to that is no,

1417
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: oh okay, I'm proud of that. My money? What is

1418
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: my What is my refrain? All the time to you?

1419
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:39,560
Speaker 1: What do I say? I never you don't want to

1420
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: be a broke athlete. I don't want to work my

1421
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: whole life and then end up broke, and and if

1422
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: I do, I'm blaming you. Uh one sewn on toll

1423
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: free telephone number one with Bill on the other side,

1424
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: straight ahead, all right, Bill Laco. I wanted to bring

1425
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: him on with all the questions everybody's having about the

1426
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 1: stock market, about taxes, about finances. You know, run through

1427
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 1: your recklist, the basics that you give everybody, and we'll

1428
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: bring you back, maybe have to get into more specific issues,

1429
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: because you know, I think this is the one thing

1430
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: everybody hates to do, and that is manage their money,

1431
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: and as a result, people don't do it. Well. No,

1432
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I mean, look, I think the

1433
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 1: first thing you gotta do is really figure out, you know,

1434
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: what your budget is and how much you can save,

1435
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: and then as you save it and you get past

1436
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: the emergency reserve side, you got to decide how much

1437
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,719
Speaker 1: risk you're really willing to take. And our general rules

1438
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: we talked about before. If you don't need the money

1439
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,799
Speaker 1: in ten years, why would you not invest in stocks

1440
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 1: now by good stuff, by stuff that you think will

1441
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: be here after the next recession or haven't forbid great

1442
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 1: recession or great depression. I mean, home Depot is probably

1443
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: not going out of business, UM, Excell and Mobile. You know,

1444
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: these are companies that are paying a good diving in that.

1445
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 1: UM you know we're gonna need for a long time.

1446
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: Procter and Gamble. I mean, you can come up with

1447
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: a million of them. That doesn't mean you can't take

1448
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 1: a flyer on on some company if you want to.

1449
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: But you know, realistically, Sean, you and I worked too

1450
01:17:58,160 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: hard for our money, and I don't see to me

1451
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: that's gambling. It's not gambling to me to buy McDonald's.

1452
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: I mean, when you go through McDonald's, it's always busy.

1453
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't care. Twenty four hours a day there's somebody

1454
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,719
Speaker 1: buying something from there. So that's really where we start,

1455
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 1: and I think going forward is really just to be

1456
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 1: able to sit down and make sure you're withholding what

1457
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: you need to from taxes, uh, so that you don't

1458
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:19,800
Speaker 1: end up with a penalty. I mean, you know, Shawn,

1459
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: at the last segment, I was talking about the withholding.

1460
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't pay enough in by December

1461
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: thirty one, you're gonna get a penalty. That's what's gonna happen.

1462
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: And what's really weird about this year. And I don't

1463
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: want is that go ahead? Sorry, Well, I'm just gonna

1464
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: have to wrap it up. I'll say, well, we'll have

1465
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: you back because I think this is um. All of

1466
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: this is important. I want our audience to prosper and

1467
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: and know these laws inside and out so they can

1468
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 1: do well for themselves and their families. They've forgotten men

1469
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: and women in this country. All right, Bill Laco, thank you.

1470
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 1: I know we put your articles up on our website,

1471
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. We appreciate you being with us. Uh

1472
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: Eid and he's with Henseler Associates. He's my guy down

1473
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: in Georgia. I've been using them for all these years,

1474
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 1: even when I didn't have a penny one. Shawn is

1475
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 1: a number alright now till the top of the hour

1476
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: on a Friday Hannity tonight. How how awfully incorrect your

1477
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: media is on so many big issues, Stormy seven? What

1478
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 1: do they miss? What do they cover? How many scandals

1479
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 1: have they missed? All right? Uh, now it is Friday.

1480
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: It's been a tough day. Uh. We can't be spending

1481
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: money like we're a bunch of drunken sailor Democrats. And

1482
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: that's what happened today. And literally they're holding defense spending

1483
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: hostage unless they get every single thing they want. And

1484
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 1: Republicans don't know what it means to lead, to have

1485
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: a vision, to be empower um, any principle that they

1486
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 1: once had is just gone. And uh, it's just sad

1487
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 1: to watch a once great party fall by the wayside.

1488
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: And again the only champions in all this so the

1489
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus and and a few others. Um, all right,

1490
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,719
Speaker 1: but it is Friday. We can't be troubled all our lives.

1491
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,560
Speaker 1: There is another side of life. We don't see it

1492
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: because we're working so hard every day. I stopped miss negativity.

1493
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: Now it's the end of the show. Can you stop

01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: can make it less. I can talk more American like this.

1500
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: But as soon as I get angry, it's over. It's

1513
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,680
Speaker 1: The people there come up with such unique ways to

1514
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 1: hide face, you know. Yeah, it's by the way, I mean,

1515
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 1: you can buy alcohol really cheaply in a liquor store

1516
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:19,839
Speaker 1: package store. It's not like alcohol is not readily available.

1517
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: But for some reason people want this rock gut and

1518
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 1: you know, they take old milk cartons and they throw

1519
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 1: it in in the you know, milk gallon jugs and

1520
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: there they are. I mean, yeah, I like to go

1521
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 1: to this liquor store and get my Baillies and Bailey's

1522
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 1: and cream. I'm drinking girly drinks. I'm not drinking that

1523
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:41,560
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Yeah, okay, all right, let's go to

1524
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: our busy phones as we say hi to Jeff is

1525
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: in Tulsa in Oklahoma. KRMG, Jeff, how are you glad

1526
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: you called? Welcome to the program? Well, thanks, thanks a

1527
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: lot for letting me get in there. Appreciate it. Sir. Hey,

1528
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm disappointed. I don't mean to be negative. I

1529
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: know you just talked about not being negative. I I

1530
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 1: want to trust trump Man Smith. He just he said

1531
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna sign this soundibus stuff. Oh my gosh, it's

1532
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: you know. Look, yeah, everybody has to look at everything anyway.

1533
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: You can look at anything anyway you want. I I

1534
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: try to look at big picture stuff. Big picture stuff.

1535
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: I like everything that we had gotten up to now. Um,

1536
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:23,919
Speaker 1: I understand they backed him into a corner. I understand

1537
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: why he wants defense spending. I understand. I don't understand

1538
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: the Republican Party has no vision anymore. They stand for nothing,

1539
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:34,679
Speaker 1: and they have no backbone, and they have no fight,

1540
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,719
Speaker 1: and they buckle every time, and they have no vision

1541
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: and it's not the party that it wants used to be.

1542
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean, um, I can say all of this to

1543
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: you again and again, and the only guy that does

1544
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: fight is the President. And I would have vetoed that

1545
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,720
Speaker 1: bill and I would have made these guys work. But

1546
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: I think the President looked at it from the position

1547
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 1: as a commander in chief and he said, I need

1548
01:22:57,880 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: this money for the military, and this is horrible and

1549
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: I can't let this happen again. But I've got to

1550
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: build up the military and I gotta do it now.

1551
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: Um do I agree with this decision? No. I think

1552
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: in this particular case, it would have been worth the fight.

1553
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: But you know, it's kind of hard when he's fighting

1554
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: by himself all the time, because you know the people

1555
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: that undermine him, just as much as the Democrats don't

1556
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 1: fool yourself are Republicans. Yeah, I get it, and and

1557
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 1: and I vacuum for that. I mean, God bless our military.

1558
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if he wasn't looking for him, nobody would.

1559
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure, um, but I'm at the same time, it's

1560
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I I promised I wouldn't get into

1561
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 1: the details are probably be a snore fest. But I

1562
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: mean the things that he's giving up, that the things

1563
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: that are hidden in there. One of the biggest things

1564
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,719
Speaker 1: I heard that there may not even be a chance

1565
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: for them to come back, that it may be something

1566
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 1: that they've snuck in at the last minute saying that

1567
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: they're not going to come back and do any additional funding.

1568
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: They've locked themselves out for the year based on what

1569
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: he's signing. I don't know that that's from different sources. Listen,

1570
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm it's very simple to me. Where are the conservative

1571
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: principles that they ran on? That's it, just keep your promises.

1572
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: And it's very hard, you know, when as as one

1573
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: senator described the situation to me, you know, we're given

1574
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 1: no time to actually read the bill. I mean, that's

1575
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 1: the stuff that we would absolutely be apoplectic about over Obama.

1576
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: And I'm apoplectic that Republicans are playing the same games,

1577
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 1: and and we know what they're up to, and and

1578
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 1: we know how this game is played because they do

1579
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 1: the same thing you have. You have a thousand minutes

1580
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,760
Speaker 1: to read two thousand, two thirty two pages, one point

1581
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: three two trillion dollars. You only get one point six

1582
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: billion for the wall. We need twenty five billion for

1583
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 1: the wall. And the bigger deal is just like the

1584
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 1: same on healthcare as they they didn't keep their promises

1585
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: repeal and replaced. Why was that so difficult when they

1586
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,839
Speaker 1: had seven years to build a bill. Now the problem

1587
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 1: is is we're not going to get into a team

1588
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 1: mid term fight. And I see no way that this

1589
01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: helps anybody that is running for re election it. And

1590
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,639
Speaker 1: you know they'll say, oh, it's Trump's fault. No, it's

1591
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:06,719
Speaker 1: not try it's their fault. You know. Listen to Senator

1592
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: John Kennedy what he said about the nominas Omnibus bill,

1593
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: about the Nibus, it sucks. You're not gonna vote for it.

1594
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I'm gonna vote against it twice if they will.

1595
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,799
Speaker 1: Let I don't even know what's in the thing. Okay,

1596
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: this is an embarrassment, you know, I said it yesterday

1597
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: on a minute. This This is a great Dane size

1598
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,759
Speaker 1: whizz down the leg of every taxpayer in this country.

1599
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: No fault whatsoever to adding over a threeion dollars in debt.

1600
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna vote. I'm not gonna vote for it. Yeah,

1601
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 1: I mean that that should have been the feeling. If

1602
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 1: Republicans were Republicans, Republicans were conservative, if Republicans had a backbone,

1603
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 1: if Republicans had a vision, this wouldn't be their bill.

1604
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 1: It's just a fact, all right. I appreciate the call,

1605
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, eight hundred nine four one show, and we'll

1606
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: go to Kentucky. Joseph, he's also mad. Hey, Joseph, how

1607
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 1: are you glad you called Mr? Hanny. I'm I'm not

1608
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 1: really mad. I'm just really sad and heartbroken. I'm a

1609
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 1: military veteran, I'm a truck driver. I drove over a

1610
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles during Mr Trump's presidency. I spoke to

1611
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 1: over a hundred radio shows. I called in. People got

1612
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 1: to know me on radio shows, and I'm there's a

1613
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: paradigm shift here. Mr Handy. It's time that we realize

1614
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: Mr Trump is a one term president as of today,

1615
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: It's time that we boycott the mid terms and we

1616
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: don't vote Republicans. We all stay home and shut them out.

1617
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,759
Speaker 1: Mr Trump will not win in twenty not a chance

1618
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: on this earth. And and it's time that we take

1619
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: these next twenty four months and and just not show

1620
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: up in the mid terms and not vote republic We

1621
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: give up. We give the Democrats that's the House, we

1622
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 1: give him a Senate, and we give them a presidency.

1623
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 1: If we don't do that, we are going to get

1624
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: burned again. Mr Trump is officially a one term president today.

1625
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: You know, look, all these declarations are made on days

1626
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 1: like today. I've been in this game for thirty years. Um,

1627
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:25,479
Speaker 1: I feel everything that you feel in terms of the betrayal.

1628
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: You know, you've gotta understand here in one sense and

1629
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 1: just this is a big picture. This to me is

1630
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:37,679
Speaker 1: all about the This is what the sewer and swamp does.

1631
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: This is how they act, this is how they they manipulate.

1632
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: You know, the President when he spoke today, I pay

1633
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: very close attention, and he said it many many times before.

1634
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: It's like if Mitch McConnell was going to insist on

1635
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 1: sixty votes on everything, nothing is ever gonna get done

1636
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 1: in the U. S. Senate. Nothing really does get done

1637
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: in the U. S. Senate. Of consequence, it's so hard

1638
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 1: to get one thing done. And as long as that

1639
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: system exists and we don't change it, and there's not

1640
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 1: enough Republicans want to change it. I have a little

1641
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: different view than you do because I think this president

1642
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 1: wants to continue to do the bold things that he's

1643
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: been doing. And a disagreement on on one bill. Um,

1644
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna throw the baby out with the bathwater,

1645
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say this that I'd love to see

1646
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:28,760
Speaker 1: conservatives that support the Trump agenda elected, and there's gonna

1647
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: be primaries going on, and there's gonna be an opportunity

1648
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:33,720
Speaker 1: to hand the government back over to the Democrats. It's

1649
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: suicide for the country. It's that there really as bad

1650
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: as Republicans are, they're worse and there's no good that

1651
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:43,719
Speaker 1: comes out of it. You know, at least we're creating jobs.

1652
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 1: At least, we have cut taxes, at least we are

1653
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: now energy independent. At least we've gotten rid of burden

1654
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 1: some regulation. At least, you know, the mandate has gone

1655
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 1: in Obamacare. I mean, I don't don't take this the

1656
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 1: wrong way, because every conservative principle that Republicans are supposed

1657
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 1: to stand for is throwing out the window here today.

1658
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing, but you gotta put the blame I

1659
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: think rightly belongs those that don't fight have no vision

1660
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: to have done nothing. The President at least has done

1661
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,680
Speaker 1: a lot. All Right. That's gonna wrap things up with

1662
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 1: today Tonight, Hannity. More investigation of the investigators and the
