First 33 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: of all, at nine oh one thirty Eastern Standard time tonight, 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: the President will announce his decision to replace Justice Anthony 35 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: Kennedy on the U. S. Supreme Court. UH. In other words, 36 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: right as we kick off Hannity tonight, we will have 37 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: full complete coverage analysis of the President's comments, and of course, 38 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: the Democrats predictable, It does not matter who the President picks, 39 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: It just doesn't matter if the president cured cancer. Now, 40 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: I am certain if he was able to find a cure, 41 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: if he was willing to give a million dollars to 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: every man, woman and child in this country, I am 43 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: convinced the left would hate him. I'm just there's nothing 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: he can do in their eyes that they're not going 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: to oppose. And the media, of course is right there 46 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: with them. Um, But that's gonna happen six o one 47 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: thirty pm East Pacific Standard time on the West Coast tonight. 48 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna have that. That's on Hannity. Let me tell 49 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: you the other things that are happening this week. So 50 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: Lisa Page will be testifying on Wednesday. That will be 51 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: behind closed doors, but I'm pretty certain that there's gonna 52 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: be a lot of information from what I'm hearing. She 53 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: probably is scared to death about her involvement as the 54 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: lead counsel for Andrew McCabe and the boyfriend of Peter Struck. 55 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: And I'm just assuming she's gonna have an awful lot 56 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: to say because there's a lot on the line as 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: it relates to her life and her future here. So 58 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: then the other half of this dynamic Trump hating duo 59 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: Peter Struck. He will be testifying publicly on Thursday of 60 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: this week and we will have that coverage as well. 61 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: And my sources in DC are telling me that he's 62 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: getting very nervous at the idea of the jeopardy he 63 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: now finds himself in, which is, you know, the heart 64 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: of this is all very simple. Greg Garald will join 65 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: us later. He his book is out in two weeks, 66 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: The Russia Hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: and frame Donald Trump. And at the heart of all 68 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: of this is Peter Struck. He's the one that changed. 69 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: Remember he was writing the Exoneration of Hillary Clinton in 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: May early May with James Comey. He's the one that 71 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: changed the original draft from gross negligence, which is the 72 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: legal standard that would have mandated that Hillary be charged 73 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: with the Espionage Act, because well, she did commit felonies 74 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: to extreme carelessness, and that was all in an effort 75 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: to help preserve her candidacy with the belief that she 76 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: had to beat Donald Trump, because Donald Trump, you know, 77 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: we need was loathsome to them, and they needed an 78 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: insurance policy and they they even said they would stop him. 79 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: So they've got a lot of questions to be answered, 80 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: and that's all coming up this week. Also, the President 81 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: will be taking on NATO this week. In other words, 82 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: we can't as Americans be the piggy bank for the 83 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: entire world, and that goes for the U n that 84 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: goes for NATO, and that our NATO allies are going 85 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: to have to now begin the process of paying their 86 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: fair share. Which a lot of this a little overlapping 87 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: as it relates to these trade de els, which to 88 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: me is just the President negotiating with our allies saying, um, 89 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but the idea that you're charging tariffs on 90 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: our steel, on our dairy are farmers, and on you know, 91 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: our automobiles, which basically charge so much in teriffs we 92 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: can't even we can't even import vehicles to other countries 93 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: because it becomes so cost prohibited to the people, they're 94 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: never gonna buy them. And he's saying, no, we believe 95 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: in free trade, but fair trade. And I'm pretty certain 96 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: that there are gonna be some significant developments in terms 97 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: of these countries realizing how much and how badly they 98 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: need the United States and every United States consumer and 99 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: access to our markets. That I think there will be 100 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: better deals that will be struck over time. I don't 101 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: think this is about launching a trade war um, because 102 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be good for anybody in the process. But 103 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: fighting for free and fair trade, I think is of 104 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: a battle worth having, just like I think it's it's 105 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: not unreasonable to ask the rest of the world to 106 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: step up and pay their fair share of the United 107 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: Nations and pay their fair share of the billions and 108 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: billions of dollars we spend on protecting our friends and 109 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: our allies. We have no problem helping, We have no 110 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: problem in defending. We have already proven to the world 111 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: that we are willing to shed American blood, American treasure, 112 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: spend American billions to help keep the world a better 113 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: and safer place, and and in the end, we're not 114 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: looking to conquer anybody. Although we might ask for a 115 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: little plot of land visa the Normandy UH to bury 116 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: our debt. That might we might request that, but short 117 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: of that, America should not bear the burden of defending 118 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: the entire world when these countries do have the means 119 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: and the ability to step up to a much greater 120 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: extent than they have been. Also, later this week, well 121 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: brus the President will be discussing and talking with his 122 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: NATO allies. That's happening in Brussels, and then he's headed 123 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: to London, where we will be later in the week, 124 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: and we are expected they're to have massive protests anti 125 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: Trump protesting. The left is gonna love this. The left is, Oh, 126 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna, They're absolutely gonna, They're gonna. This is like 127 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: manna from heaven for them to have leftists in Europe protesting, 128 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: socialists in Europe protesting open borders, people in Europe protesting 129 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's agenda and policies that have only proven to 130 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: be a great success for the people of the United 131 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: States of America. Uh. In many ways, to me, it's 132 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: somewhat laughable. Um, but let me begin. So we're less now, 133 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: less than six hours away from the president's announcement. I'm 134 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: not gonna spend the rest of the show speculating who 135 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: it might be. I don't know who it's going to be. 136 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: I believe it's probably down likely to four people, maybe 137 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: a fifth whose name is kind of just been thrown 138 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: in the mix a little bit. The President is no 139 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: tor orious for keeping people guessing. I mean, he loves 140 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: to troll and I would have no doubt at all 141 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: that he's doing so in this case, UM, giving you 142 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: the short bio and names of everybody you have, I 143 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: think she's probably the most interesting of all the candidates. 144 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: And it is fascinating how the left is just they 145 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: almost melt at the thought that that Amy Coney Barrett 146 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: is her name of Indiana, UH would in fact be picked. 147 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: She was a recent choice for the US Court of 148 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: Appeals in the seventh District, and she's forty six years old, 149 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: and of course she previously clerked for Anton and Scalia. 150 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: She was appointed by Trump and confirmed for the seventh 151 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: UH District Court of Appeals in October, had a big showdown. 152 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: I'll get to more details in this in October seventeen 153 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: with Diane Feinstein. Barrett is UH. She seems to be 154 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: a top contender. If I would have put them in 155 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: order and probably say that Brett Kavanaugh has probably one 156 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: if just I'm guessing based on what I'm hearing, and 157 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: probably Barrett right there next to him, and Thomas Hardeman 158 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: not far away, and and Raymond Catholics is there as well, 159 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: and um, Partaman is an interesting choice. I know that 160 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: Senator Rick santorm happens to be a big fan of him. 161 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: He's out of Pennsylvania. He's on the US Court of 162 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: Appeals for the Third Circuit. He's fifty two years old. 163 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: By the way, that's the same circuit that that the 164 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: President's sister works on and happens to be a fan 165 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: of Harteman. So that's interesting in terms of what the 166 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: President might be thinking about in terms of his decision. Uh. 167 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: He's spent now about three years as a federal judge 168 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh before being nominated for the Third Circuit, and 169 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: that was back in two thousand and six. He has 170 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: a lot of judicial experience. He graduated as well Notre 171 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: Dame and went to law school at Georgetown. There's a 172 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven ruling Hardaman wrote that upheld the 173 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: constitutionality of strip searches of jail prisoners, regardless of how 174 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: minor and offense they might have been accused of, and 175 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court upheld that and endorsed his decision. That 176 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: was a five forward decision. Uh. Then there's Brett Kavanaugh. 177 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: I would say, probably through the end of last week, 178 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: was the leading contender. If you're watching the news, UM, 179 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: not sure if that is a head fake or not, 180 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: I honestly don't know. And the US Court of Appeals 181 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: for the District of Columbia, he has probably the most 182 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: experience in terms of judicial writings, and I know that 183 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: there are some cenotas that are that are probably Oh 184 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: the amount of work we have to read twelve years 185 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: of opinions, how difficult, which could be done very expeditiously 186 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: and quickly if they really cared. Uh. He was appointed 187 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: to the powerful D. C. Circuit Court of Appeals in 188 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: two thousand and six by George W. Bush, for whom 189 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: he had previously served as assistant to the President and 190 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: staff secretary, graduate of Yale Law School, clerk for Justice Kennedy, 191 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: and part of the He was an associate council for 192 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: ken Starr that investigated Clinton, and that became a big 193 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: issue last week as it results for him Um in 194 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: his choice and his belief that Clinton could have obstructed 195 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: justice by sending out surrogates to defend him, knowing that 196 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: the surrogates were lying, And then he made a big 197 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: deal in two thousand and nine. About nine years later 198 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: um in a lower review. I believe it was a 199 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: speech in Michigan. If I'm my memory serves me right, 200 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: and read it over the weekend where he just basically said, no, 201 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: I was wrong in what I was saying back in 202 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: probably he was in his twenties at the time. He 203 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: had to be in his twenties or late twenties. UM. 204 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: So that is interesting, and at least it was at 205 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: one point thought of wow that he believed this, this 206 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: is a problem, and then it was discovered that he 207 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: had said, no, I don't believe that at all. Uh. 208 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Raymond Cathledge a little bit about him. He's from Michigan 209 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: U s. Court of Appeals for the same circuit and 210 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: Keitholics who joined the six Circuit in two thousand and eight. Again, 211 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: pretty long history, long resume, uh, something rarely seen on 212 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: the president Supreme Court list. Now. One of the things 213 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: you've got to keep in mind, the President has given 214 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: us this list and has expanded this list since before 215 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: he was running. There's nobody on this list or any 216 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: of the names we're hearing that the President hasn't foretold 217 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: of before he ever got elected. In other words, he 218 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: just he's been very forthright about the type of justices 219 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: he's looking for and that these are the type of 220 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: people he would be examining anyway. Keitholic trode an opinion 221 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: rejecting the uh uh e e O C in the 222 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: case seeking to limit private employer's use of credit checks 223 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: for job applicants, and the e O C arguing that 224 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: the practice amount of a racial discrimination rate. Keitholics accused 225 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: the agency of hypocrisy, and Keitholish also issued a politically 226 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 1: charged ruling blasting the Obama administration for continuous existence to 227 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: efforts to discover what actions the I R S took 228 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: against tea party groups nonprofit groups. Uh. Then another name 229 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: that's come up pretty last minute is Joan Larson. Judge Larson, 230 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: confirmed by to the six Circuit Court of Appeals, previously 231 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: served on the Michigan Supreme Court from fifteen until earlier 232 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: this year, and before serving as a judge, was on 233 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: the University of Michigan Law School faculty for more than 234 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: a decade. Well, you know, one of the things you've 235 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: got to remember, why is this not? Why is it 236 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: that Democrats always get the judicial activists that they want, 237 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: and sometimes Republican presidents how comes sometimes they get it wrong. Well, 238 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: it's because Judge Ginsberg once said that you know, I'm 239 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: not going to comment on a particular case. And that's 240 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: sort of like the standard that they now use for 241 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: every judge or or antonin Scalia, saying that I have 242 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: to may maybe make decisions that the law demands that 243 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: I personally don't even like. So the big battle here 244 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: is over judicial philosophy, and that is and again, and 245 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: they're all intellectuals, they're all constitutional scholars, and so sometimes 246 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: far more complicated and nuance than anybody really knows. And 247 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anybody of certainty, but there's 248 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: been a lot of time for everybody to look to 249 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: the background of these individuals. I'm just gonna give you 250 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: the information. I don't know who the President's deciding, and 251 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, I just it's gonna be interesting. But I 252 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: do believe the president has been very clear and believes 253 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: in originalism, constitutionalism, and he is against judicial activism. So 254 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: he was not going to be looking for somebody wants 255 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: to legislate from the bench or use foreign law as 256 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: a basis and a decision, like some of our liberal 257 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: justices have done in the past. You cannot get if 258 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: you like interesting times, you can't get better than this. 259 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: It's I was explaining to a liberal over my fourth 260 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: of July vacation. I'm trying to explain to them, Okay, 261 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump believes, what are you going to do every day? 262 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: I said, it's never gonna get that interesting for you 263 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: because liberals wake up every day. And then just how 264 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: do I hate him? How do I hate Donald Trump? Today? 265 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: There's the latest tweet, the latest, latest, latest tweet, the 266 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: biggest outrage. And I keep telling people if they listen, 267 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: if you go on Twitter, all you have to do 268 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: is follow one liberal journalist, just one. And what they 269 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: do is they live in this little bubble world that's 270 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: sort of like the liberal Joe Meeka, you know, Humpty 271 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: Dumpty world and the Nicole Wallace world, where they try 272 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: to feign moral outrage, more moral outrage than the other one. 273 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: If they say no, Donald Trump's the liar liar, the 274 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: next one will say, no, you're wrong, He's a liar, liar, liar, 275 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: pants on fire. And then the next one's gonna say no, liar, liar, 276 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: liar pants on fire. And he's stupid, he's dumb, he's uh, 277 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: he's whatever. And it's like if you take Alca Sultzer. 278 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: I've used this analogy many times. Do you ever have 279 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: alka seltzer alka Seltzer plus cold medicine, which I use 280 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: when I get a cold. You just go PLoP, PLoP, 281 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: fizz fizz, and they bubble and fizz predictably and outcomes 282 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: the venom, the vitriol, the hatred. If you don't believe it, 283 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: just watch what happens the second that Donald Trump announces 284 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:43,119 Speaker 1: either Barrett or or uh who else, Hardeman or Kavanaugh 285 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: or Catheridge or anybody, it doesn't matter. The borking will 286 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: begin instantaneously and it will be universal stupidity. Quick break 287 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: right back right as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show 288 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: one sewn. You want to be a part of the program. Alright, 289 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: five and a half hours now, the President five hours 290 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: twenty five minutes will be announcing his choice to replace 291 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: Anthony Kennedy on the U. S. Supreme Court. It comes 292 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: down to it looks like five people. Amy Barrett, Indiana, 293 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: Thomas Hardeman of Pennsylvania, Brett Havanaugh, who seemingly was the 294 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: front runner all last week of Maryland, not sure if 295 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: his stock has risen or fallen or remains the same, 296 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: Raymond Catheridge of Michigan, and Judge Larson, who I mentioned 297 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: just only in the last day or two, seems so 298 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: her name has come up a little bit. Not sure 299 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: whether that's going or if that means anything. Let me 300 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: just back up here a second, and I just want 301 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: to tell you what's going to happen. The President will 302 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: make the announcement tonight. This is about the and the 303 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: president tweeted this. President said, I have long heard the 304 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: most important decision that a US president can make is 305 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: the selection of a Supreme Court justice. He's right. We'll 306 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: be announced tonight at nine pm. I kind of like it. 307 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: It's right during the start of Hannity. Perfect, and we 308 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: get to talk about it first. Um. And it is 309 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: the most important decision. This is a lifelong appointment. Now, 310 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: remember this was a massive issue during the campaign. You know, 311 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: it's a little frustrating to me is that all of 312 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: the never Trumpers, all the people that have really just 313 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: have done everything they could do short of you know, 314 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: going out there with Hillary signs at a Trump rally, 315 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: most of them, and how all of them were told, 316 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is about the Supreme Court. Look 317 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: at who the president. Then candidate Trump was saying that 318 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: he would like to put on the Supreme Court, people 319 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: like Anton and Scalia who recently passed away, like Clarence Thomas, 320 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: like Sam Alito, who has been a very strong conservative, 321 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: originalist constitutional voice on the Supreme Court. And that that 322 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: that is the type of justice that the president will 323 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: be looking for, and that list is who he would 324 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: choose from, which, by the way, gives the the opposition 325 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: plenty of time to do their research. There's not gonna 326 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: be a single person that the Left is going to say, 327 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: great choice, Mr. President, because they lost the election. They 328 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: only want people like Judge Sodamajor or Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 329 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: etcetera on the court. That's the type of justice they're 330 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: looking for. People that are and I guess it comes 331 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: down to a battle between originalism and a judicial activists. 332 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: They are looking for judicial activists. What is a judicial activist? 333 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: That is somebody that believes that they can legislate from 334 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: the bench and other words, they don't really strongly believe 335 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: in the Constitution. They don't seem to believe in co 336 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: equal branches of government, they don't seem to believe in 337 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: separation of powers. They're perfectly comfortable with judges on the 338 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 1: bench writing laws which is their job. And the reason 339 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: they want to punt these, especially these controversial decisions to 340 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: the court is there's no political retribution for a judge. 341 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: This is a lifetime appointment. So there so they would 342 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: the things that they cannot get done at the ballot box, 343 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: the things that they could never pass legislatively, that you 344 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: the people would stop, or that there would be a 345 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: huge political price if they ever did try to pass 346 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the legislation. They would prefer to use 347 00:20:54,240 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: a left wing judicial activists, even if that justice site 348 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: foreign law as a basis for a decision which has 349 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: actually happened, which kind of blows my mind, because we 350 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: are a constitutional republic and that judges, and as the 351 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: Great antonin Scalia once said, a good judge will do 352 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: and must consider what the law demands, and that is 353 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: they the judicial philosophy of the original intent. In other words, 354 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: it is deep respect for the fact that we have 355 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: an executive branch, a judicial branch, but also a legislative branch. 356 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: And why Congress would want to see their authority or 357 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: allow a judiciary to assert their authority is because they 358 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: know that that's what they really want America to be, 359 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: and America to turn into but they wouldn't dare ever 360 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: say it because they know politically that they would never survive. 361 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: So this is a big, big battle. It now seems. 362 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: With Neil Gorsuch emly placed in the Supreme Court, it 363 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: looks like that this could be a This could be 364 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: a turning point because Justice Kennedy was a very unpredictable vote. 365 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: We know that he was the swing vote on the 366 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. That's why this choice matters so much. One 367 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: of the things that I've been watching, I really have 368 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: not I've not gone to Twitter, i have not been 369 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: commenting on it, but I've been reading a lot. And 370 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: the reason is there's so much lobbying going on behind 371 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: the scenes. It actually is somewhat nauseating. It seems that 372 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: if someone's friends with has known or is an acquaintance 373 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: of a particular candidate, that hey, they would they want 374 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: to tell everyone, no, this is the choice. And maybe 375 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: they're making valid arguments. Maybe they really believe that the 376 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: people that they know or have known for a long 377 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: time would would live up to the The philosophy again, 378 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: this is judicial philosophy that we're really looking at here 379 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: that they believe is important for the Court. I shouldn't 380 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: question their motives in any way. I know that Mike Lee, 381 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: I think he got a call from the President, he 382 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: was interviewed. I think one of the first things that 383 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: the left would do. And I think Mike Lee would 384 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: be an incredible originalist and constitutionalist, and I believe that 385 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: he would do a great job on the Supreme Court. 386 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: I put him on my list in a heartbeat. I 387 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: find the most interesting person on the list that seems 388 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: to be hated the most is Amy Barrett of Indiana 389 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: because she happens to be Catholic, and she happens to 390 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: be very religious, and she has happens to have written 391 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: about originalism. And the Left, for whatever reason, is kind 392 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: of glomed onto this that. I mean, it's almost like 393 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: they feel this is a a battle of religion, you know. 394 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: You know, I would argue that the left war against 395 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: women continues. Remember before I went on vacation, there were 396 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: the attacks on Sarah Sanders, the attacks um Pam Bondi, 397 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: the attacks on Secretary Nielsen, the attacks on Avanka, the 398 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: attacks on Milania, the attacks on Baron Trump, the attacks 399 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: on Chloe Trump, the four year old daughter of Donald 400 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: Trump Jr. The granddaughter of the president. I mean, we've 401 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: watched all of this unfold. The reason you might ask, well, 402 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 1: why is this always a mystery? Why don't we know? Well, 403 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: there's a couple of good answers. I'm not sure you'll 404 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: like them. But as Justice Ginsburg answered when she was 405 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: in the process, she was going through the confirmation process, 406 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: she won't comment on any particular case that she might 407 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: have to rule on in the future, which, by the way, 408 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: every nominee will probably say the exact same things. I know. 409 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: The Left wants to whip everybody's mind into a frenzy 410 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: that somehow Roe vi. Wade is going to be overturned. 411 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: The intellectual side of a lot of judges is that 412 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade is horrible law, and that it ought 413 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: to be the states that make that decision. And I'll 414 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: be perfectly blunt and brutally honest here, there is no 415 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: way in the next number of decades, perhaps even a 416 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: hundred years, that a state like New York or California, 417 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: or New Jersey or Illinois, or probably at least forty 418 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: six states whatever outlaw abortion. I don't think that's gonna have. 419 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: It might be a couple of states, but that would 420 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: be a couple. Um, so I think it is. It 421 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: is a fear tactic. I think as of nine oh one. Well, well, 422 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: let's say by nine oh three or nine oh four, 423 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: when the president gets to the point where he mentions 424 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: the name of his choice, well, when the person actually 425 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: walks out with the president tonight, they are going to 426 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: begin the process of smearing, besmirching, and attempting to destroy 427 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: the character, the name, and the background of whoever the 428 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: president and picks. It doesn't matter, for example, that this 429 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: president is literally in in five plus days, has created 430 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: record low unemployment in fourteen states in this country, record 431 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: low unemployment for women in this country, record low unemployment 432 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: for African Americans and Hispanic Americans in this country. We 433 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: have a record number of people in terms of labor 434 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: force participation, in other words, the numbers that we looked 435 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: at closely in the Obama years, nobody seems, you know, 436 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: Reagan once infamously said, you know, stay the course, And 437 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: I will argue that probably starting next week, the importance 438 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: of eighteen is going to be in the forefront of 439 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: everybody's mind. Another way, Mitch McConnell now is speaking ahead 440 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: of the president's Supreme Court announcement. It's very interesting from 441 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: all that I've heard, Mr McConnell has been lobbying for 442 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: the easiest confirmation process. That shouldn't be what it is. 443 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: There's a reality that I have to talk about, and 444 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: the reality is is that there is not a big 445 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: margin in the Senate. In other words, the president has 446 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: a balancing act here. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, if 447 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: there was somebody they believe strongly would quote overturned Row 448 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: and as I explained, it would go back to the States, 449 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: they would oppose that that nominee. Then again, you've got 450 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: strict constructionists and originalists I believe in the judicial philosophy 451 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: that I believe in, like Scalia, like Thomas, people like 452 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz and Rampoll. You they too could be peeled 453 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: off if the president doesn't make the right choice. John 454 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: McCain has been very ill, so I'm not sure he 455 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: will factor in here, But nor has he been a 456 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: particularly reliable vote for the president. So the bottom line 457 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: is there's no wiggle room here. And then on the 458 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: other hand, politically, you've got all these red state Democrats, 459 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: Claire mccaskell, Bill Nelson, Heidi HeiG Camp and others. Well, 460 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: these are Democratic senators that live in very red states 461 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: that like Donald Trump, they're gonna be feeling the pressure 462 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: to support the president's nomineque. There's also the intellectualism that 463 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: will be means that that people that are jurist or 464 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: people that that literally immersed themselves in constitutional thought and 465 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: constitutional precedent and constitutional writings. In the cases that you 466 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: bring up, you can only glean so much because there's 467 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: so much nuance and specifics in the particular cases that 468 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: they might have ruled on, and that becomes an issue. 469 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: For example, in the case I can tell you right 470 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: now of of one US has been what twelve years 471 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: on the court. I mean, that's a long time. That's 472 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: a lot of justice capital for example. That's a long time, 473 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: a lot of decisions to pour over on. And he 474 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: was I think the front runner leading up to this week. 475 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: And although things seems who knows, I mean, I don't 476 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: even want to speculate. Everybody else is speculating. But here's 477 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: what they want to do. This is what Senator Kennedy 478 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: did to Robert Bork, who was probably one of the smartest, 479 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: most brilliant judicial minds again that means intellectual, nuanced constitutionalist, 480 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: and that's where and he never believed in legislating from 481 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: the bench. This is what happened to him when he 482 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: was announced. Robert Bork's America is a land of which 483 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: women would be forced into back alley abortions, Blacks would 484 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: sit at segregated lunch countess road police could break down 485 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: citizens stores and midnight raids, and school children could not 486 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: be about evolution right as an artist would be censured 487 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: at the whim of government. Okay, really all of that 488 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: was a lie, but it but it ended up and 489 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: resulted in Judge boards Bork's name being withdrawn. And then 490 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: of course we watched Clarence Thomas, who has turned out 491 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: to be, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest 492 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: justices in history. And if you've never read My Grandfather's Son, 493 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: which is Judge Thomas's book, I urge you to read it. 494 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: It is such a good book. And it talks about 495 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: his grandfather and how his grandfather raised him in poverty 496 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: under difficult, difficult, horrible circumstances. At times, remember him having 497 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: to defend himself against the attacks of the left. This 498 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: is a circus, it's a national disgrace. It is a 499 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: high tech lenching for uppity blacks who in any way 500 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: deigned to think for themselves. It is a message that 501 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: unless you cow town to an old order, you will 502 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U. S. U. S. Senate, 503 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: rather than hung from a treat I mean that became 504 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: a national disgrace. But I can tell you the second 505 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: the President announces his decision, it doesn't matter who it is. 506 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: It's not Hillary's choice, and that will send them. Really, 507 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: that's why elections matter. That's why matters, that's why will matter. 508 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: The left in this country is more unhinged than they 509 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: have ever been led by, by the way, a lot 510 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: of so called never Trumpers that once said they were 511 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: conservative and just lie. Al Right, glad you're with us. 512 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: Hour to Sean Hannity Show. Right down our toll for 513 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: telephone number one, Sean if you want to be a 514 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: part of the program. In less than five hours, the 515 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: President of the United States, Donald Trump, will announce his 516 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: Supreme Court choice to replace Justice Kennedy. We have about 517 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: well four real people I think that are on the list. Uh. 518 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: That's Amy Barrett of Indiana, Thomas Hardeman of Pennsylvania, Brett Kavanaugh, 519 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: who seemed last week to be the front runner of Maryland, 520 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: Raymond Catholicge of Michigan, And we just heard a little 521 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: bit of rumblings about Judge Joan Larson. I'm not sure 522 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: if this is a head fake from the President or not. 523 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: He's been known alike to keep his choices and his 524 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: decisions close to the vest and joining us now for 525 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: some insight into all of this. And by the way, 526 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: the author of the New York Times bestseller his second 527 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: biggest selling book, Trump's America, The Truth about our Nation's 528 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: Great Comeback. Uh, congratulations. It seems like everybody wants your 529 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: insight into the mind of Donald Trump, but no in 530 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: this way because you get to filter it through the 531 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: prism of your of you being a professor at heart. 532 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: I've said that many times in my life, and that 533 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: your knowledge of history is second to none. And you're 534 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: looking at his presidency is transformative, and I totally agree 535 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: with you. And Tonight's choice will be important for what 536 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: ultimately becomes Donald Trump's legacy. Yeah, and I think it's 537 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: important to put this in context for a second. Donald 538 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: Trump tonight is going to keep his work. He was 539 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: this important. People remember this after all the griping in 540 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: the liberal media that the fact is Trump campaigned on 541 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: appointing conservative judges. He has consistently now for almost two years, 542 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: appointed conservative judges. He had a list that was developed 543 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: with the help of the Heritage Foundation, in the Federalist 544 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: Society and Leonard Leo of really solid jurists who would 545 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: make great Supreme Court nominees. Uh. He picked uh Neo 546 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: Gorcas off that secular list. I'm confidence and that whoever 547 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: he picks, this is important thing. Remember to be honest. 548 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: The great thing is it the right person? Is it 549 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: the perfect person? Are there are three things that somebody 550 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: doesn't like about him? But the key is this is 551 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: going to be a solid conservative. It's going to be 552 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: one more step towards our returning the courts to interpreting 553 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: the Constitution instead of rewriting it. Uh. And that's an 554 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: amazing achievement. And this is one of the great achievements 555 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: of the the Trump presidency. And tonight, Uh, you know, I 556 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: agree with you. He personally loves the idea that he 557 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: wants to tease everybody so that we all tune in 558 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 1: at nine o'clock to see what he did. And candidly, 559 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to tune in a class. I think the 560 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: president it is not it is absolutely within him, and 561 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: I think he's done it many times. And you can 562 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: back me up on this. Oh, he has no problem 563 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: trolling people, knowing and building anticipation for what will be 564 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: a historic decision. But there's also the predictable attacks at 565 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, Mr Speaker, who he chooses. The borking begins 566 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: the second after America. The left will go after anybody 567 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: he puts up there. Look like they actually one interview 568 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,439 Speaker 1: of students who hated Trump's nominee even though he hadn't 569 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: been named yet. Oh, by the way, they hate the nominee. 570 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: I have the tape. I'd play it, but it's three minutes. 571 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: That's hilarious. I don't want to take the time away 572 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: from you. But you're right, they all hated it. But 573 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: it's not been picked yet, right, and and I think 574 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: we just have to recognize. But on the left, and 575 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: they're right. I mean, if you want a radical judge 576 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: who rewrites the Constitution to replace America with a radical society, 577 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 1: you aren't gonna like who. I don't care who he picks. 578 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: You're not gonna like him, because he's gonna pick somebody 579 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: who actually thinks that the Constitution matters and that it 580 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: was a contract with the American people and that we 581 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: have an obligation to stick to the contract. Yeah. Well, 582 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's the amazing part that I don't think 583 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: many people will focus on. Um, let me ask you specifically, 584 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: do you know these candidates or have you just been 585 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: like the rest of us, reading about Well, okay, so 586 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: I've been reading a lot about the decision, and I 587 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: find all of them very very interesting in different ways. 588 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: You know, Raymond Catholics, I mean he he was involved 589 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: in a lot of noteworthy cases, one on free speech 590 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 1: where he joined a majority holding the First Protection First 591 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: Amendment protected the right of Christians uh to preach at 592 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: a particular Arab American festival. I mean, these are all 593 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: nuanced cases. There's all there's all different variations, which makes 594 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,439 Speaker 1: it very hard to get a firm grasp on any 595 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: one person. And I think that's why maybe there's been 596 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: disappointments like David Suitor, for example, in the past. And 597 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: all of these are great intellectuals that have spent their 598 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: entire lives for the most part, adult lives studying the Constitution. Yeah, 599 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I think in that sense, you have to 600 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: really look at Suitor as an example of the opposite 601 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: of what Trump is doing. Uh. Trump has consciously turned 602 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 1: to great conservative scholars and asked their advice in building 603 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: the list. He's then interviewed a wide range of people. 604 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: Now this remember this is his second round of doing this, 605 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: and he said, given a lot of thought. I know 606 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: because I was with him back in the transition of 607 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: Trump Tower and he was talking about the nature of 608 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: shaping the Supreme Court, the burden particularly if he gets 609 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: more than two choices of doing the right thing with 610 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: the right kind of scholars, because once you appoint them, 611 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: they're beyond your control. So you do you'd better have 612 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: some deep gut instinct of who they are. And I 613 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: think that Suitor was the classic example of being too 614 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: clever and pointing somebody who had no track record, and 615 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: then it turned out he really did have no track record. 616 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: There was no base on who he was, and so 617 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: he drifted into the liberal majority because you know, that's 618 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: what the Georgetown cocktail party said wanted. But I think 619 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: I think you know true Rump's not going to pick 620 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: a person of that kind, and I think any conservatives 621 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: my other point, I guess, if I can just say 622 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: it for a second, every conservative country to night at 623 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: nine o'clock, close your eyes for thirty seconds before the 624 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: president starts to talk, and imagine it was Hillary Clinton 625 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: with her second radical nominee. And then tell me how 626 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: why you're gonna be upset with Donald Trump about anything. 627 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: He is so much better than what we were faced with. 628 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: But there's also a political reality that I think has 629 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: to factor into any in this president's decision, and that 630 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: is the close nature of the Senate, and that is, 631 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, nine, John McCain is ill um. He's got 632 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: a threat of needle where you don't where people like 633 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski don't oppose the the nominee, 634 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: and people like Rampaul and Ted Cruz on the other 635 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: side don't oppose the nominee. So either that or the 636 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 1: not or we're gonna go through a process where it's 637 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: extraordinarily painful and meaning that it's gonna be one nominee 638 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: withdraw the nomination, the nominee withdraws, then the next one, 639 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,399 Speaker 1: then the next one, and it's never gonna end. So 640 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: there are political realities to the president's decision that probably 641 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: nobody wants to discuss publicly. Well. But I also think, 642 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: and he said a little bit himself, he's gotten much 643 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,439 Speaker 1: smarter about the legislative branch. I thought it was very 644 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: noteworthy they began consulting with senators immediately upon the announcement 645 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: of the retirement. Uh and I think that he is 646 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,919 Speaker 1: very you know, he's trying to parse out two things. 647 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: One are there a couple of Democrats who are in 648 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 1: such trouble from reelection that they probably can get their vote? 649 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: And two, um, is there a way to find a 650 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: person who will satisfy Collins and Rakowski, who I think 651 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 1: are probably the bigger challenges. I think in the end, 652 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,399 Speaker 1: Rand Paul and and Uh Crews are going to vote 653 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: for the president's nominee, but particularly shocked if Crews didn't, 654 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: just because he is himself a great lawyer, he understands 655 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: what this is all about. Rand is a little less predictable. 656 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: But in the end, this is a chance to move 657 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: the court back to the constitution. Con Certainly, everything that 658 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 1: Rand Paul and his father have sent for has been 659 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: talking about getting back to a constitutional framework and this 660 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: this uh, this choice, I believe whichever of the four 661 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: that it is, or even if he drops in the 662 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: fifth l Off who's also on the list by the way, um, 663 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think that these will be 664 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: people that in the end they can say, you know, 665 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: I really respect him. Now, the other part of this 666 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: is whoever they take is gonna have to go through 667 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: a set of hearings and be prepared to stand up 668 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: to a knockdown, drag out fight with left wing Democrats. 669 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 1: And but I think that'll be good for the country. 670 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,439 Speaker 1: That will be very educational for the American people. I 671 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: actually agree with that. One of the most interesting things 672 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: if anybody's ever taken the time to actually you can't 673 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,040 Speaker 1: see them. We don't allow cameras inside the Supreme in 674 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: corporate you can't hear specific arguments before the Supreme Court. 675 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the most fascinating things in 676 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: the world to listen to. I mean, you might have 677 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: a person for against the particular case, they get out 678 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 1: two words and and immediately the justices begin grilling them. 679 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: I mean Scalia was you know, so well known for 680 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: his humor and his temperament and his tough questioning. And 681 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: on the other hand, Clarence Thomas usually just remains quiet 682 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: and he takes it all in and outcomes his decision, 683 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: and it has become one of the the great Supreme 684 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: Court justices in our time. In my opinion, why is 685 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: there so much anger? And it seems that the greater 686 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: amount of hostility is towards Judge Barrett um Amy Barrett. 687 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: And you know, for example, they quoted a speech she 688 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: gave in two thousand and six to Notre Dame Graduates 689 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: that your legal career is but a means to an end, 690 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: and the end is building the Kingdom of God. And 691 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: she had a big, knockdown, drag out fight with Diane 692 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: Feinstein last year when she was appointed to the Seventh 693 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: Circuit Court of Appeal and Feinstein pressing our on whether 694 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: she would be able to render judicial rulings faithful to 695 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: the law given her deeply held religious beliefs. I mean, 696 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: it seems like they almost want a religious lipust test 697 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: in in her case, she was a strong Catholic. Since 698 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: you do realize, of course, if if they's exactly the 699 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,760 Speaker 1: same phrase have been said by a Muslim that anybody 700 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: who criticized it would be of course described as a homophobic. 701 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: But we don't have in our current political language, uh, 702 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: anything for Christian folks, which is what we're talking about. 703 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: Tell about people who are deeply resistance to the role 704 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: of God in American life, which is you know, if 705 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: I've written a clisson, I wrote a book onto a 706 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: movie about I mean, you can't describe America without understanding 707 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: that we claim from the very beginning that our rights 708 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: come from our creator. And of course on the left, 709 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: this is this is forbidden language. Uh. She was, by 710 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: the way, um, in particular debate, she did a great 711 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: job defending herself and educating the country, if not the senator, 712 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: but but but but I think the deeper point here 713 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: is if you were a left wing secular woman who 714 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: is rapidly pro abortion, then she is your worst nightmare. 715 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: She's she's a mother, and she has seven children. She 716 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 1: is a Notre Dame graduate, she's a pound, she's a 717 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: devout Catholic, she's overtly pro life. Um, and so she 718 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:35,280 Speaker 1: violates every single requirement of the new modern left wing. 719 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: Uh you know, uh, secular socialists, it's about judicial philosophy. 720 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: We believe in the Constitution as the basis for all 721 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: rule of law, and that is what is known as 722 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 1: an originalist versus the If Hillary were president, which I 723 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: think is a very important thing to remember, this would 724 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: be her second choice. And they believe in judicial division, 725 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: the things that they would never pass legislatively, the things 726 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: that would never get them elected at the ballot box. 727 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: And they're even willing to cite foreign law, believe it 728 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 1: or not, not our Constitution and as the basis to 729 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: make radical decisions. And remember it's not just judicial activism 730 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: in a random sense. These are left wingers who have 731 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: a secular vision of a particular American future, which requires 732 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,720 Speaker 1: that they crush and drive out of the public square 733 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 1: anybody who believes in the classical vision of America. And 734 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: so that's why you get this sort of uh to 735 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: tolitary and bullying and the hostility and the things you're 736 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: seeing in the streets. I mean, these are people who 737 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: are desperate to impose their will on the rest of us, 738 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,399 Speaker 1: and they're watching it start to slip away, and it's 739 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: driving them crazy. You know. That is the point. The 740 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: President is going to be in Europe this week in Brussels. 741 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 1: He's gonna ask NATO to step up and pay their 742 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: fair share, just like I think the UN should pay 743 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 1: their fair share. Um, and every buddies up in arms 744 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: about that. Then there are going to be European left 745 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: wing socialist protest against him. I'm sure the left wing 746 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: media will love that in this country. And meanwhile, we 747 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: have record low unemployment in fourteen states, record low unemployment 748 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 1: for women for Hispanic Americans African Americans, and the highest 749 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,479 Speaker 1: labor participation rate that we've ever had in history. And 750 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 1: the president is making progress with North Korea and he 751 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: wants peace with Putin. We doesn't want to have a 752 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: war with Vladimir Putin, as if that's a bad thing. 753 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 1: You know, you ought to for your TV show, have 754 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 1: somebody to go back to the archives and pull up 755 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: the size of the anti Reagan demonstrations in eighty one 756 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: and eighty two and eighty three in particularly in Germany 757 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 1: but also in London. Uh, because it's easy to forget 758 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,720 Speaker 1: every time you get a strong American conservative as president 759 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,280 Speaker 1: who actually stands up for the United States and actually 760 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,800 Speaker 1: represents freedom, the European left goes crazy. But this is 761 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: I mean, this puts Trump in my judgment, uh. In 762 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: in pretty good company. I mean, if you uh, you know, 763 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,800 Speaker 1: and and I think you'll probably have smaller crowds. And 764 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: Reagan gut because in the in the old days, the 765 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: Soiviet Union actually financed the stuff. The KGB used to 766 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 1: pay for a lot of the anti war demonstrations, who 767 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 1: were in effect pro Soviet demonstrations, but they were huge 768 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 1: demonstrations in the early age. They were all right, what 769 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,399 Speaker 1: do you think of Kavanaugh? Kavanaugh? The only thing people 770 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 1: seem to be mad at our commons he made in 771 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 1: ninety eight that he said he was wrong about in 772 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. Is it related to Clinton and 773 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 1: impeachment and possible obstruction and the other thing is his 774 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 1: view and a decision that he was involved in as 775 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,879 Speaker 1: it relates to Obamacare and justifying the laws attacks which 776 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: by the way, was sold as not being attacks. But 777 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 1: he seems to have been the front runner up until 778 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: at least this weekend. Well, I mean, I'm look, I'm 779 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: not a lawyer, and I'm I'm starting not a scholar 780 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,879 Speaker 1: on the you know what, You're right, You're not really 781 00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: that smart. You're right, Why don't I want to ask 782 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 1: you that us no, no is gonna be I have 783 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: enormous trust in Leonard Leo and in the team he 784 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: has built at the Federalist Society. Uh. They all believe 785 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: that any of these four, any of them, will be 786 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 1: a tremendous improvement over Justice Kennedy and will help solidify 787 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: a constitutionalist Supreme Court for the next thirty years. Alright, 788 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: new Gearge, I gotta let you go. We will see 789 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,759 Speaker 1: you on TV later this week. Trump's America, the truth 790 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,959 Speaker 1: about our nation's great comeback in the four now until 791 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 1: the top of the hour, one Shawn is our number. 792 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: The President at nine oh one thirty PM tonight Eastern 793 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 1: time six oh one thirty on the West Coast, will 794 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 1: be announcing his pick to replace Judge Anthony Kennedy on 795 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: the U. S. Supreme Court. The leading candidates, I'm not 796 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: going with the speculation of everybody. Um. Look, you never 797 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: know when you make a choice like this because you 798 00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: don't ask specific questions. You can't ask a anybody that 799 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: might be a potential choice where they stand on particular 800 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: issues that is not particularly ethical. There are five candidates 801 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: as of now, one being, of course, Amy Cony Barrett 802 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 1: of Indiana, Thomas Hardeman of Pennsylvania, Brett Kavanaugh, who seemed 803 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: to have been the front runner up until the end 804 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: of last week. Uh Ray Catledge is also from Michigan. 805 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,280 Speaker 1: Uh Kavanaugh, by the way, the US Court of Appeals 806 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,720 Speaker 1: District of Columbia, and another name that has been thrown 807 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: out recently, Judge Joan Larson. Uh also recently confirms six 808 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,799 Speaker 1: Circuit Court of Appeals. And Jay Sekulo is with the 809 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 1: American Center for Law Injustice is their chief council. He's 810 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,879 Speaker 1: also the council to the President. And yeah, he's even 811 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: had little o Me as a client. Um listen, let 812 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,840 Speaker 1: me ask you. So I'm looking at this list. I 813 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,360 Speaker 1: have no idea who the president is going to pick. 814 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 1: All I know is this, I want somebody in the 815 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: vein of a Justice Scalia or justin Justice Thomas, who 816 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,319 Speaker 1: is what we call a constitutionalist or an originalist. I 817 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 1: don't believe in judicial activism like the left does. I 818 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 1: don't believe that they should site foreign law like the 819 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: left does. I don't think they should legislate from the bench, 820 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: separation of powers, coequal branches a government, etcetera. But I 821 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: do believe whoever gets picked, they're going to try to 822 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: bork them and destroy them and do what they did 823 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 1: to not only Robert Borke but also Clarence Thomas. I 824 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 1: think that is inevitable in this atmosphere. I think that's right. 825 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 1: But look, you you hit the key issue, Sean, and 826 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: that is the most important question is not how it 827 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: judge rules on a particular case. Judge Ginsburg, then ultimately 828 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg made a statement and I think she was 829 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: absolutely correct on this when she said she's not going 830 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 1: to discuss how she might rule on a particular case 831 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 1: that could come before her. So that's the right answer. 832 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 1: But you want to know what their judicial philosophy is. 833 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 1: How do they view their role as judge? Uh Salia 834 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: famously said that, you know, a good judge is going 835 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 1: to sometimes come to a conclusion that they don't personally like, 836 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 1: but it's what the law demands. So you want that 837 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,759 Speaker 1: kind of uh you know, direct I would call it 838 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 1: a direct sense of their judicial philosophy as it relates 839 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: to their role as a judge. How do they view 840 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: themselves in our constitutional uh framework? How do we in 841 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,880 Speaker 1: our constitutional republic? They're an Article three branch of government. 842 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 1: How do they view that role? And that's that goes 843 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 1: to separation of powers. It goes to uh issues of 844 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,359 Speaker 1: judicial restraint. It it goes to judicial philosophy, how they 845 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 1: view how they view the role. So that to me 846 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: is always the key. And then then I don't think 847 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,439 Speaker 1: we've ever had. I don't I'm trying to think where 848 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: we ever had in our history a president that pre 849 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 1: announced people on a list while he was running for president, 850 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: and updated the list while he was president, and kept 851 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: that list out there so people could do all the 852 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 1: kind of opposition research they wanted to do. But this 853 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,879 Speaker 1: president did that, and he said he's gonna take someone 854 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: from the list, and I suspect that's what it will 855 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: be in a couple of hours. Um, So the main 856 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 1: thing here is to me is that the president. You know, 857 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that is why this is an 858 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 1: imperfect science. People were asking me this weekend. Why is 859 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,320 Speaker 1: it that Republican presidents often in court tell us that 860 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:18,839 Speaker 1: they're gonna pick a an originalist, the constitutionalist, somebody that believes, 861 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 1: as as Judge Scalia, you know, one set as you 862 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 1: rightly point out, that he may actually have to rule 863 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 1: a certain way that is against his own personal views. 864 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: But what the law demands, Um, why is it sometimes 865 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,919 Speaker 1: Republicans get it wrong, but it seems democratic presidents never 866 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: get it wrong. They always get the judicial activists that 867 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 1: they wanted. Because do you ever have to question with 868 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 1: someone that's being nominated by Democrats whether in fact there 869 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: where they stand on the life issue for instance? I mean, 870 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 1: does anybody seriously question will you will that person uphold 871 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,440 Speaker 1: ROVERSUS way? But if you take a contrary view, there 872 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,240 Speaker 1: are people that view that as a disqualifier from public 873 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,360 Speaker 1: service on Supreme Court. I think that's sad and tragic. 874 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,440 Speaker 1: Let's just have consequences. Presidents get to nominate. That's what 875 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: what the article article to power the President is. They 876 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 1: get to nominate. The Senate gets advice and consent to 877 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,280 Speaker 1: separate functions, they can weigh in, and then they can 878 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,840 Speaker 1: vote yes or no. And then if that nominee is 879 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: successful in getting confirmed, they get their authority from Article three. 880 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,239 Speaker 1: So when you have a Supreme Court pick, it puts 881 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:30,319 Speaker 1: into place all three branches of our government and all 882 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: three articles of our United States Constitution. There are certain 883 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,320 Speaker 1: political considerations that I don't think a lot of people 884 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: are really factoring in here. I mean, with John McCain 885 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 1: being sick, nor is he a particularly reliable vote for 886 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 1: the president at this point in his career. That the 887 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 1: president must also recognize that he needs Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, 888 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: he needs Susan Collins of Maine. He needs Rand Paul 889 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,320 Speaker 1: of Kentucky on the other side, and and Ted Crews 890 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 1: of Texas. So it's a fine line at the and 891 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,240 Speaker 1: a raiser's edge here politically that the president is walking 892 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 1: because whoever he does pick, he doesn't want to have 893 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: to either withdraw their nomination or have have this voted 894 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 1: down in the Senate, And so that becomes somewhat problematic 895 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 1: for him. As you look at these top four maybe 896 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 1: five names that we're hearing, is there any one person 897 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,759 Speaker 1: that you think threads that needle? Um? And the other 898 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 1: big issue that I love you to addresses. You know, 899 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 1: a lot of these judges, they're great intellectuals. They're writing 900 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:37,839 Speaker 1: about the greatest document ever created, our Constitution, And there's 901 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,479 Speaker 1: a lot of nuance, there's a lot of intellectualism. Um, 902 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: there's a big judicial philosophy disagreement on originalism versus judicial activism. 903 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: Right now, Look, Sean, you're hitting the issues that are 904 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna be with you tonight and uh, 905 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, we'll know then who the nominee is. But 906 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: I will tell you this, all of the people on 907 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 1: the list, but the one the names that you've raised, Um, 908 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 1: every one of those would meet the right tiior of 909 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: conservative judicial philosophy, respect for the rule of law, understanding 910 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,200 Speaker 1: the role of the spring cot plays under our constitution. 911 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 1: And I think without question, would UM support the proposition 912 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: that judges do not make law. Now, having said that, 913 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 1: let me just this is the politics of it. Is 914 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: it easier for some than others? It probably is, And 915 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: that political calculation has to be made by the president 916 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 1: when he because you want the nominee to be confirmed, 917 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 1: can that person be confirmed to that high office? So 918 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 1: that's you can't ignore that reality, especially you know it's 919 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 1: gone or the days when Justice Scalia received I think 920 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 1: votes and Justice getberg N those days are gone. Everything 921 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,359 Speaker 1: is now very partisan. Um. But having said that, I 922 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 1: think you again, that's part of the calculation. You can't 923 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 1: ignore it because you ignored it your own peril. We 924 00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,279 Speaker 1: don't want a situation actually that judge, the late Judge 925 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: Bork faced. We don't want a situation that Justice Thomas 926 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 1: had a go through to be confirmed. You want a straightforward, 927 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: tough process. I I no one doubts that that that 928 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,879 Speaker 1: should be thorough. And then but look, the presidents let 929 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,040 Speaker 1: these people be out there preventing purposes for over some 930 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 1: of them for over a year and a half, and 931 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 1: so there's no real surprises there at this point. They've 932 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,480 Speaker 1: read everything there is to read about them. But you'll 933 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 1: hear noises. There's gonna be a lot of noise. Look 934 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,319 Speaker 1: at nine o one will know the announcement. At nine 935 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 1: or two the other side, Uh well, both sides will 936 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 1: go to work on the either defending the nominee or 937 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 1: or whatever the next role would be. I mean, that's 938 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 1: just kind of the nature of what happens. Having said that, again, 939 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 1: what we're looking for is someone that has a conservative 940 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 1: judicial philosophy, and I'm convinced that's what we're gonna receive tonight. 941 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 1: Why is it? And I've been watching and reading everything 942 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: about every one of these judges, which I spent a 943 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 1: lot of time earlier in the program talking about. I 944 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,760 Speaker 1: think the person that interests me the most is Judge 945 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,680 Speaker 1: Amy Barrett, and yet she seems to be the most 946 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 1: hated and the most like by conservatives. At this particular point. 947 00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: And you know she's a Catholic. She has seven kids, 948 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:05,120 Speaker 1: she's adopted a number of kids. Um. She only recently 949 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 1: was put on the US Court of Appeals for the 950 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,759 Speaker 1: seventh District. Um, she had a big showdown in confrontation 951 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 1: with Senator Diane Feinstein. And yeah, I mean it seems 952 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 1: that the fact her religious views seemed to be in 953 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 1: play big time. UM. And I think there's a certain 954 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:26,280 Speaker 1: level of just vitriol and intensity against her y because 955 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:27,879 Speaker 1: of what you said, because of her faith. I mean, 956 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,800 Speaker 1: she's someone that takes her faith seriously. She's about Catholic, 957 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,799 Speaker 1: she is. Uh, she is a person that has well, 958 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: she doesn't have extensive judicial opinions because she's only been 959 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: on the court for seven months. She has extensive academic 960 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,760 Speaker 1: writings and she was a very well respected law professor 961 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,279 Speaker 1: at UM at Notre Dame Law School. She trained under 962 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 1: the great Charlie Rice, late Professor Charlie Rice, who was 963 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,040 Speaker 1: on our legal advisory board at the A C l 964 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:56,359 Speaker 1: J for decades. And Um, she's brilliant. Um, the calculus 965 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 1: will be and the president makes that calculus with his 966 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,279 Speaker 1: media advisors. They make a calculus asked to confirmability and 967 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,640 Speaker 1: issues like that, and she's denominee that because they're convinced 968 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 1: that they can get her confirmed. By the way, if 969 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 1: she's not the nominee doesn't doesn't mean she's not going 970 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,879 Speaker 1: to be confirmed. It just means that there were other 971 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,439 Speaker 1: considerations and maybe it was lent the time on the bench. 972 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:15,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see who the nominee is and 973 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: we'll be able to know, but she is certainly somebody 974 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 1: that galvanizes UM a lot of support, in part because 975 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 1: the way she was so uh dehemently attacked and kept 976 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: her composure in her dignity during the process. It seems 977 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 1: that the front runner, at least leading up to today, 978 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: had been uh Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and he's got some 979 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: very interesting cases. I mean, he was involved in the 980 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 1: Heller versus District of Columbia case in eleven and he 981 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 1: ended up being on the right side of that case. 982 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 1: He descended Havanaugh's words, the Supreme Court left quote little 983 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 1: doubt the courts are to assess gun bands and regulations 984 00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,280 Speaker 1: based on text history, tradition, not by a balancing test 985 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 1: such as a strict intermediate intermediate scrutiny, but then again 986 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 1: there was you know, some criticism over over his decisions. 987 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 1: There were two of them as it relates to Obamacare. Yeah, 988 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 1: and one of them was mine, I mean was the case. 989 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 1: And I when I've known Bread for a long time 990 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 1: and was helped on the confirmation to the DC Court 991 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 1: of Appeals, were working with him in private practice. He 992 00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 1: not a couple of our religious liberty cases. He he 993 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,840 Speaker 1: worked on as a lawyer, So he's he's got I mean, 994 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 1: I think on the religious liberty issues he would be 995 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,560 Speaker 1: and is great judicial philosophy on that understands of pre 996 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,520 Speaker 1: exercise free speech clauses. What about the decision, and I 997 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:34,360 Speaker 1: believe it was the yeah, yeah, Well, in the case, 998 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 1: he would have held that the a c. A complied 999 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: with the clause of the Constitution that requires all bills 1000 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 1: for raising revenue to originate in the House of Representatives 1001 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 1: because the statutes in clause. Yeah. But but what was 1002 00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 1: interesting about that it actually held up Obamacare and the 1003 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 1: argument that it was at tax, but we were sold 1004 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,320 Speaker 1: that it was not a tax. Yeah. So I mean, 1005 00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 1: this was an issue that looked that was in my case, 1006 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 1: but I had we had in front of him, and 1007 00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 1: he he did not redress the merits of the constitute 1008 00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 1: sotionality of Obamacare that's been misreported. What do you addressed 1009 00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:09,480 Speaker 1: was whether the Anti Injunction Act passing UH prohibited a 1010 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 1: proceeding where it was a pre enforcement in other words, 1011 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,560 Speaker 1: of plumbinary injunction and injunction to stop the enforcement of 1012 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,440 Speaker 1: attacks and the statute on that. I raised this with 1013 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 1: our team early on because as you know, shall my 1014 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 1: background is I came out of Chief Council's Office for 1015 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,280 Speaker 1: Treasury to the I R S. I was a travel 1016 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 1: lawyer for a Chief Council's office, and um, I was 1017 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 1: concerned about the issue of the tax um in the 1018 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 1: Anti Injunction Act and that's ultimately where he went. So 1019 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 1: I don't think it was I mean, I don't think 1020 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 1: it was a way it's being portrayed is accurate. And um, well, look, 1021 00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 1: you always want to win your case. It wasn't an 1022 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: inconceivable conclusion that he came up with something that speaks. 1023 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 1: And actually some could argue that's a conservative decision because 1024 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,480 Speaker 1: you don't overreach when you don't have when you don't 1025 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,720 Speaker 1: have statutory authority. We'll take a quick break, we'll come 1026 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 1: back more with J Seculo on the other side, eight 1027 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,040 Speaker 1: D nine one, Shawn is our toll free telephone number. Uh. 1028 01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Then at the top of the hour, way of the 1029 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 1: latest breaking news on the deep State gate and Page 1030 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 1: and Struck testifying later this week, and apparently there's gonna 1031 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,760 Speaker 1: be two big bombshell news reports coming. So my sources 1032 01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 1: tell me much more. Right, as we continue with Jay Secular, 1033 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 1: Chief Council American Center for Law and Justice, also Council 1034 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 1: to the President, let me ask, this is an imperfect 1035 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 1: science in a large part, and I want you to 1036 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 1: address this side of it because by and large, if 1037 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,480 Speaker 1: you're being considered for the Supreme Court, um, you're an intellectual. 1038 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 1: You this you are deep. You're deep in the weeds 1039 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 1: as it relates to constitutional law. And when you read decisions, 1040 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, on the surface, maybe the outcome is based 1041 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 1: on an entirely different way of thinking that most Americans 1042 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 1: would understand. But again we're looking towards judicial philosophy. There 1043 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 1: there are nuances to some decisions and to most decisions. Yeah, yeah, so, 1044 01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: and part of that part of that nuance this you 1045 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,400 Speaker 1: call that, I think that's a good term, is that 1046 01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 1: they're ports of of limited jurisdiction in one sense, and 1047 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 1: that they don't reach two issues that they're not supposed 1048 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,720 Speaker 1: to hit, uh if they've got a conservative judicial philosophy, 1049 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: so they don't overstretch. And part of that process is 1050 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 1: an understanding that when you're looking at this that what 1051 01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 1: you're dealing with is a how what you want to 1052 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,080 Speaker 1: know is how does the judge view their job? How 1053 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,840 Speaker 1: do they view their role as a judge, And that 1054 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:28,439 Speaker 1: really becomes the critical aspect of all of this. How 1055 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 1: do they view their role as a judge that they 1056 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 1: call involves and strikes? Were they coming up with policy 1057 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 1: that they like? If their policy oriented that they should 1058 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 1: be running for legislature for the presidency, they shouldn't be running. 1059 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 1: They should not be nominated as a judge. That's not 1060 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 1: their role. So that's where it becomes very very important. Okay, 1061 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 1: And so I guess at the end of the day, 1062 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 1: as we look at the names, and again I think 1063 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,439 Speaker 1: you're rightly pointing out a very important point. There's never 1064 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,280 Speaker 1: been a president that has actually given a specific list 1065 01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 1: of names and sticks to the list of names that 1066 01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 1: he has been telegraphing now since before he got elected. 1067 01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Um So in that sense, there won't be any surprises. 1068 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 1: Are you confident at the end of the day that 1069 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: we're going to get somebody like an Aledo, like a 1070 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas or Scalia on the Supreme Court? In this choice? 1071 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 1: I think on the that entire list are individuals of 1072 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 1: impeccable credentials with conservative judicial philosophies, and I think we 1073 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,600 Speaker 1: should be comfortable with anybody on that list, and I 1074 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 1: expect that tonight will be very pleased with who the 1075 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,560 Speaker 1: nominee is. Again, it's ultimately there's one thing that's very 1076 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 1: clear about Article two. This is the president's choice. It's 1077 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 1: not the Federalist Society, is not Leonard Leo, it's not 1078 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 1: Herita's Foundation, Kay James, is not the American Center for 1079 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,479 Speaker 1: Low Injustice, and Jay secularly, this is the president's choice. 1080 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 1: All right, Jay Secular, thank you for being with us. 1081 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 1: When we come back, we have a lot of breaking 1082 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,919 Speaker 1: news as it relates coming this week with a deep steak, 1083 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 1: Greg Jared, Sarah Carter. And next, if they don't give 1084 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,720 Speaker 1: you that information, what can you do to the f 1085 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,320 Speaker 1: behind d J. You've given them more to lines now 1086 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 1: we had yesterday. They were supposed to give us stuff 1087 01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 1: now maybe Monday or Tuesday. This investigation has been going 1088 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 1: on for a year. At some point, don't you guys 1089 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 1: feel impotent. Well, look, there's a couple of couple of 1090 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 1: things here, So before July thirty one. For for a 1091 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 1: couple of months now, we've been really zeroing in on that, 1092 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 1: and the FBI d o J have had plenty of 1093 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 1: opportunities to tell us what happened before July one, but 1094 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,400 Speaker 1: they have they have not, They have not, they have not. Now, ultimately, 1095 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,960 Speaker 1: here the President of the United States, it's his d 1096 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 1: o J and his FBI, and at some point here 1097 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 1: he needs to get involved. You know, I don't know. 1098 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,280 Speaker 1: The FISA is very frustrating to me because I think 1099 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,439 Speaker 1: that pieces of the FISA that was gone on Carter 1100 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 1: Carter page right, that we've had an ongoing feud about 1101 01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 1: this for many, many months. I think the FIS is 1102 01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 1: totally fraudulent, fraudulent. You have James Comey and others at 1103 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,880 Speaker 1: currently at the FBI d o J who are defending 1104 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,000 Speaker 1: the FISA, which is unbelievable to me. So why not 1105 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 1: the President ought to just solve this once and for 1106 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,640 Speaker 1: all declassified, don't you don't have to expose sources and methods, 1107 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 1: but most of that visa, the pertinent parts of it, 1108 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 1: could be declassified and he could help answer for all 1109 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 1: of us who was telling the truth or were they 1110 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 1: justified to get a FISA warrant on Carter page or not. 1111 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they were, and I think the American 1112 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 1: people have a right to know, and the President should 1113 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 1: classify all right, News round up in Information overlo an 1114 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 1: hour one Seawan. That was Devin Newness of the House 1115 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 1: Intel Committee on with Judge Jannine on Saturday night, saying, yeah, 1116 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:40,000 Speaker 1: forty two people now involved with the Russia probe. Uh, yeah, 1117 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 1: they should be interviewed in public. Also, at some point, 1118 01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 1: the President's gonna have to get involved and demand that 1119 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 1: the d o J, which he has full authority to do, 1120 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 1: release all of these documents. And once he puts that 1121 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,520 Speaker 1: deadline out, they will not have an option at that 1122 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 1: point or they will be literally defying the president who 1123 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 1: has authority. This is we're talking about the executive branch now. 1124 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:07,440 Speaker 1: And uh, lastly, it's noon as talking about the President 1125 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 1: needing to declassify the FISA documents, which would give us 1126 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:16,160 Speaker 1: great insight as to how they justified an unverified, uncorroborated 1127 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 1: political document using Russian sources that was paid for. Even 1128 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 1: the person to put it together says was fifty fifty 1129 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 1: at best. Uh ended up being the the basis or 1130 01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:29,840 Speaker 1: the bulk of information to get a warrant to spy 1131 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 1: on an opposition party candidate and lead up to an election. 1132 01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,240 Speaker 1: It all matters, all right, Glad you're with us for one. 1133 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 1: Shawn is our number. We're still following the president. At 1134 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:43,000 Speaker 1: nine oh one thirty tonight, right when Hannity gets on 1135 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:47,000 Speaker 1: the air, will announce his Supreme Court justice to replace 1136 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,919 Speaker 1: Anthony Kennedy. I'm not gonna go with all the speculation 1137 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: with all the people that's has chosen that because the 1138 01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,560 Speaker 1: President had diverted the last time. And I think it 1139 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 1: still comes down to the five candidates that I've been 1140 01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 1: talking about well pretty much all day, and that's Amy 1141 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 1: Cony Barrett and Thomas Hardeman, Brett Kavanaugh, Raymond catholicch and 1142 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 1: Judge Joan Larson. But first we continue the deep state 1143 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,200 Speaker 1: issue is going to hit a lot of new ground 1144 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 1: this week, as both Lisa Page and Peter Struck testify 1145 01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah publicly. Well, in the case of Lisa Page behind 1146 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:24,440 Speaker 1: closed doors, but struck publicly for the first time. And then, 1147 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,560 Speaker 1: of course we have the President with NATO as I mentioned, 1148 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 1: and we're gonna be doing the show from Europe later 1149 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,920 Speaker 1: in the week, UM and the expected protests there. We 1150 01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 1: have a busy newsweeks joining us, Greg Jarrett. We are 1151 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: now two weeks away from the release of the Russia Hoax. 1152 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 1: The Illicit Scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump. 1153 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 1: By the way, available for pre sale on Amazon dot Com. 1154 01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 1: This will become the definitive book on what is the 1155 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 1: biggest corruption abuse of power scandal in history. Sarah Carter 1156 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:56,480 Speaker 1: is an investigative reporter Fox News contributor. UM. All right, 1157 01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 1: so we have a new poll that shows a majority 1158 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 1: of American Sarah no longer support the Muller probe. We 1159 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,000 Speaker 1: have new FBI m O suggesting that Mueller may have 1160 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,200 Speaker 1: illegally leaked grand jury material that's in reference to the 1161 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:13,360 Speaker 1: Mantaphor case. We have Julianni saying he suspects Mueller is 1162 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 1: covering up anti Trump text messages that have been sent 1163 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:21,120 Speaker 1: by his prosecution team. And Julianni calling the Muller probe 1164 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 1: the most corrupt investigation he's ever seen. And now we 1165 01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,120 Speaker 1: have forty two people, as we just turned from Devin Newness, 1166 01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:31,160 Speaker 1: that need to go before the public and make some explanations. 1167 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 1: This case is just beginning, it is, and remember this 1168 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 1: has been going on for more than a year. This 1169 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 1: is incredible, Sean. I think one of the biggest things 1170 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 1: that we're going to be looking for this week is 1171 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 1: certainly Peter struck Uh testifying publicly. He may not say anything, 1172 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,040 Speaker 1: he may say very little, but I think it's very 1173 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,960 Speaker 1: important to have him out there. I also think that 1174 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 1: Devin Newness is doing the right thing. He's putting out 1175 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 1: the names out there that he says need to go public. 1176 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: The Americans people are so tired of this because I 1177 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:06,120 Speaker 1: think based on just the last year, based on the 1178 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,640 Speaker 1: information that has come out, Americans are smart. We understand 1179 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,880 Speaker 1: what's going on here. And that's the reason why we 1180 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,679 Speaker 1: haven't stopped going after these stories. The reason we haven't 1181 01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 1: stopped exposing what we see is blatant corruption and evidence 1182 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:25,560 Speaker 1: that they were actually working against an incoming president and 1183 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,840 Speaker 1: then a duly elected president of the United States. It's 1184 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,040 Speaker 1: actually quite incredible, and I think what Newness is doing 1185 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,480 Speaker 1: is saying, look, put everybody out there, let them speak publicly, 1186 01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,880 Speaker 1: and if they're not going to abide by our demands, 1187 01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 1: get the BI set go ahead, Mr President, release all 1188 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 1: the documents. Let's get that out there so the American 1189 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,600 Speaker 1: public knows once and for all what's going on. This 1190 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,000 Speaker 1: has been going on too long, and liked Evan Noon 1191 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,800 Speaker 1: has said, this is the president's job. He is oversight 1192 01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,640 Speaker 1: over the d o J. And if the DOJ is 1193 01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 1: not going to comply, if rod Rosenstein, if Robert Mueller, 1194 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,919 Speaker 1: if all of these people, if Attorney General Jeff Sessions 1195 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:09,599 Speaker 1: does not comply with the oversight demands of Congress, then 1196 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 1: the President has the authority to declassify that and we 1197 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: have the right to see it. Let me go to 1198 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett by the way here two weeks away. I've 1199 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,400 Speaker 1: read the book now. In total, it is the defining 1200 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:25,599 Speaker 1: read on and the title captures everything, the Russia hoax, 1201 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 1: the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump. Um. 1202 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,559 Speaker 1: There is so much coming out with the testimony now 1203 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,639 Speaker 1: at leasta page behind closed doors. Peter struck publicly, although 1204 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 1: I hear there's some maybe some wavering going on behind 1205 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: the scenes, but the title captures exactly what happened. It's true. 1206 01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 1: You know, top officials the highest levels of government and 1207 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:51,439 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and the FBI work together. They 1208 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:56,200 Speaker 1: colluded to twist the law and make up facts and 1209 01:09:56,280 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 1: exonerate Hillary Clinton even though she clearly violated multiple UH 1210 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:05,439 Speaker 1: federal statutes. And then on the very same day they 1211 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:09,360 Speaker 1: cleared her. The FBI is meeting in London for the 1212 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:13,880 Speaker 1: first time with the author of the dossier, and the 1213 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,920 Speaker 1: FBI and the d o J were off to the 1214 01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 1: races to try to frame Donald Trump for things he 1215 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,120 Speaker 1: did not do. And the dossier with the lynchpin, it 1216 01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 1: was phony, was fabricated from the beginning on paid a 1217 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,439 Speaker 1: hundred to a hundred and three. I think this is 1218 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,679 Speaker 1: going to turn out to be key. Did Brennan at 1219 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:37,520 Speaker 1: the CIA? Then again, they never verified or or corroborated 1220 01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 1: this and used it as the bulk of information for 1221 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:44,840 Speaker 1: the dossier. But was Brennan passing this out to be 1222 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 1: used as political fodder in his role as a CIA 1223 01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,639 Speaker 1: director at the time, and you know the summer leading 1224 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,519 Speaker 1: up to of course the FISA warrant. Yes, you're you're 1225 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,800 Speaker 1: absolutely correct. You you're write about it in the book, 1226 01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 1: page one hundred. It begins, Brennan is the instag gator. 1227 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:05,040 Speaker 1: He gets his hands early on on this phony dossier, 1228 01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,200 Speaker 1: and he decides this is what we can use to 1229 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:12,840 Speaker 1: destroy Trump. So he's running all over Capitol Hill and 1230 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,840 Speaker 1: in particularly goes over to Harry Reid's office and on 1231 01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:20,519 Speaker 1: August twenty five, and I believe he shows read this 1232 01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,360 Speaker 1: document and convince his read we've heard, do we have 1233 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,320 Speaker 1: the exact proof on it? Because we've been hearing about 1234 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,040 Speaker 1: this from the beginning. We know Read leaked to the 1235 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 1: media a letter he sent to Comey on August two 1236 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen, and in it he alleges Trump is 1237 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 1: colluding with Russia and he's asking Comy to investigate Trump. 1238 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 1: He look read already knew that the FBI had launched 1239 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,640 Speaker 1: uh an investigation of Trump, but he wanted it to 1240 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:53,599 Speaker 1: get leaked out to the media to destroy Trump before 1241 01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,759 Speaker 1: the election. So let's go through the details of the Sarah. 1242 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 1: This is the Clinton and the d n C money 1243 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 1: which Donna Brazil said that Hillary controls Hillary campaign d 1244 01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:08,720 Speaker 1: n C money she controls funneled through Perkins Cooee, a 1245 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:12,679 Speaker 1: law firm, onto Fusion GPS and not research firm, which 1246 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:16,040 Speaker 1: by the way, is fine op researches, you know, something 1247 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 1: that we see every day in politics. And then it's 1248 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 1: they hire Christopher Steele. I think I didn't think foreign 1249 01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 1: agents were supposed to be involved in the political process. Well, 1250 01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 1: so much for that. And he uses his Russian sources, 1251 01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,839 Speaker 1: and we believe Russian government sources to create a phony 1252 01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 1: dossier that even he in an interrogatory and Great Britain, 1253 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,640 Speaker 1: under the threat of perjury, said was well, it's not confirmed. 1254 01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,559 Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of fifty fifty. I don't know 1255 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,879 Speaker 1: if it's true. That became the basis of the FISA warrant, 1256 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,960 Speaker 1: and we had the CIA director literally feeding this to 1257 01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:55,000 Speaker 1: Harry Reid for political purposes. It's so dangerous, Sean, it 1258 01:12:55,160 --> 01:13:00,320 Speaker 1: is so dangerous to even imagine that this was happening 1259 01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,240 Speaker 1: in the United States, that a director of the CIA, 1260 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:07,880 Speaker 1: which is not supposed to be involved whatsoever by edict, 1261 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 1: in the political process of US politics, basically shopping out 1262 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:20,440 Speaker 1: a disinformation document by a foreign agent against an incoming 1263 01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,680 Speaker 1: president of the United States or a presidential candidate at 1264 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,960 Speaker 1: the time, and then a duly elected incoming president of 1265 01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 1: the United States. It's really unheard of. Is this any 1266 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 1: different than what the former Soviet Union would do when 1267 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:38,720 Speaker 1: they propagandized and lied. Remember we always would talk about provoda, 1268 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:43,440 Speaker 1: you know, state run television, state run networks, all designed 1269 01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:49,960 Speaker 1: to brainwash, indoctrinate, um disinform, whatever tactics a lot. Well, 1270 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 1: let's put it another way, purposely the government and government 1271 01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,759 Speaker 1: spies lying to the American people. Is that what happened 1272 01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:00,160 Speaker 1: in America, Sarah Carter, Exactly, That's exactly what it what 1273 01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,400 Speaker 1: it is. I mean when you look at the facts 1274 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,240 Speaker 1: on their face, that the director of the CIA, which 1275 01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 1: by the way, he you know, this former Director Brennan, 1276 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:12,640 Speaker 1: has not stopped. We've seen his allegations and his disinformation 1277 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 1: on Twitter throughout the months, throughout the recent months, how 1278 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 1: he is constantly bad mouthing and going after President Trump 1279 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,920 Speaker 1: and alluding to some kind of secret information that's out 1280 01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 1: there that we've never seen, no proof whatsoever. But think 1281 01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,360 Speaker 1: of the power that this person had. They were the 1282 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:35,840 Speaker 1: director of the premier intelligence agency in the world, and 1283 01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:39,920 Speaker 1: instead of dealing with overseas threats, instead of dealing with 1284 01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:45,559 Speaker 1: national security issues overseas, they were basically colluding with Russian 1285 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 1: agents and a foreign British agent to take out the 1286 01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:54,920 Speaker 1: President of the United States. Credible is this story, because 1287 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 1: that's really what it was. The evidence is there, and 1288 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,879 Speaker 1: this is what everybody's not getting. And that's why Greg's 1289 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,000 Speaker 1: book is gonna be a blockbuster bestseller and this is 1290 01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:07,639 Speaker 1: why you're reporting should get you a Pulitzer. Meanwhile, all 1291 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 1: I get is trashed every day in the media. So 1292 01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, I've I've got, I've got everything I deserve. 1293 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,320 Speaker 1: It's fine, you do. Now take the glory. Um, it's 1294 01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:18,040 Speaker 1: about the truth though, and this is the biggest abuse 1295 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 1: of power scandal in American history, and the smoking gun 1296 01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 1: evidence does exist as we continue with Greg Jarrett's new 1297 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,680 Speaker 1: book coming out just two weeks from today, and it 1298 01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:31,519 Speaker 1: is the Russian hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary 1299 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:35,560 Speaker 1: Clinton and framed Donald Trump and also Fox News investigative 1300 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:37,800 Speaker 1: reporter of Sarah Carter. They've agreed to actually hang out 1301 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,360 Speaker 1: through the next half hour as we're gonna go deeper 1302 01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 1: into this because we're only beginning to touch the surface. Um. So, 1303 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 1: when Paige testifies, she's gonna be behind closed doors, but 1304 01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: Struck is going in front of the camera and we'll 1305 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,840 Speaker 1: see him for the first time, and from what I 1306 01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:57,400 Speaker 1: understand is he's in even more trouble than we suspected. 1307 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 1: Sarah Carter so much trouble, and it's incredible. At first, 1308 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:05,479 Speaker 1: his attorney was openly saying, you know, he wants to 1309 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:09,400 Speaker 1: testify publicly, he wants to talk to Congress, He'll be 1310 01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,280 Speaker 1: forth coming, and then we know he went behind closed 1311 01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 1: doors and they were having a difficult time with him. 1312 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 1: I don't suspect and I don't know what Greg's assumption 1313 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 1: is on this that he is going to be as 1314 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:24,360 Speaker 1: forth coming in front of the public. Uh, it's going 1315 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,040 Speaker 1: to be very difficult for him because we have seen 1316 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,120 Speaker 1: too much evidence. There's too much out there. How can 1317 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:34,280 Speaker 1: he explain this away? Those text messages were very straightforward. 1318 01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure Greg goes into great detail in his book 1319 01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 1: about them because they're explosive. I mean, he worked directly 1320 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:45,680 Speaker 1: under former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Comey. He was 1321 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:49,200 Speaker 1: in London. He was central figure in the Hillary Clinton 1322 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:54,280 Speaker 1: server investigation and at the top figure in the Russia investigation. 1323 01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:58,200 Speaker 1: His connections were wide and deep, and he was working 1324 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:03,559 Speaker 1: in collusion with Lisa Page, his paramore and lover that 1325 01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,400 Speaker 1: he was having an affair with and she was an 1326 01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,400 Speaker 1: attorney at the FBI. And we also know that he 1327 01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:12,000 Speaker 1: had very well connected, lots of connections in London, and 1328 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:15,000 Speaker 1: he was able to make things happen. So there is 1329 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 1: going to be so much more information, so many questions 1330 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 1: that Congress has of him and before the public. I 1331 01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 1: think it's going to be really difficult for him to 1332 01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,479 Speaker 1: answer those, at least with the straight face. All Right, 1333 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 1: we'll take a break. We'll continue. Greg and Sarah have 1334 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,200 Speaker 1: agreed to stay with us.

Sarah Carter, 1348 01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,920 Speaker 1: investigative reporter, Fox News contributor, All right, let me just 1349 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,080 Speaker 1: change topics briefly, and then we're gonna get back to 1350 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 1: Peter Struck here in just a second. Uh So, the 1351 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:27,639 Speaker 1: President at nine oh one thirty Eastern six oh one 1352 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,680 Speaker 1: thirty Pacific will announce his choice who he wants to 1353 01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:35,400 Speaker 1: replace on the Supreme Court, replace Anthony Kennedy. What are 1354 01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the names we keep hearing Greg Jarrett 1355 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 1: Well Kavanaugh, Barrett Hardeman, Larson Catholicge. Those are the contenders reportedly, 1356 01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:47,680 Speaker 1: and you cannot go wrong if you're Donald Trump or 1357 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,799 Speaker 1: ardent conservative with any of them. They're all young age 1358 01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:54,880 Speaker 1: forty five is the youngest, Barrett all the way to 1359 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:58,600 Speaker 1: fifty three. Uh, Kavanaugh and Harteman, So they'll be on 1360 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,040 Speaker 1: the court for a long time. And they're all either 1361 01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:07,559 Speaker 1: proven originalists or textualists, and that is what conservatives want 1362 01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,960 Speaker 1: and need to replace, Uh Anthony Kennedy on the court. 1363 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,840 Speaker 1: So you could put all five names up on a 1364 01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:17,880 Speaker 1: dartboard and throw darts and it doesn't matter where it lands. 1365 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:22,120 Speaker 1: You're a winner if you're Donald. And they're all conservative 1366 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:27,840 Speaker 1: confirmable people, which is important now. Having said that, some 1367 01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 1: are more easily confirmed than others. For example, Hardeman, uh 1368 01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 1: was confirmed for the Appellate Court ninety five to zero. 1369 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:41,400 Speaker 1: So he is probably, in my judgment, the the most confirmable, 1370 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:46,960 Speaker 1: the easiest confirmed. But you know who got Hardeman, Harteman 1371 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: to zero. Not a single vote against Harteman. And it's 1372 01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 1: very hard for the U. S. Senate, although the composition 1373 01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:55,880 Speaker 1: is now different. Uh, it's very hard to just support 1374 01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:59,280 Speaker 1: him then and not now exactly exactly, which is why 1375 01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,439 Speaker 1: you know, if I'm going for the easiest pick, it's Hardeman. 1376 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,360 Speaker 1: It's also Pennsylvania and he's also and by the way, 1377 01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 1: it serves on the same court. I believe as the 1378 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,759 Speaker 1: President's sister, Yeah, she recommended here, and uh, you know, look, 1379 01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,640 Speaker 1: I look up to my sister, uh, and you know, 1380 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:15,320 Speaker 1: I think he looks up to his pig sus. I 1381 01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:19,400 Speaker 1: know that former Senator Santorum is a big supporter of Hardeman. 1382 01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:22,000 Speaker 1: When speaks volumes of of you know, I think he 1383 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,360 Speaker 1: goes a long way. Uh, let me ask Sarah one 1384 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,799 Speaker 1: Supreme Court question. Because you're roaming the halls of Capitol 1385 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,519 Speaker 1: Hill constantly, what are you hearing in terms of is 1386 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:33,120 Speaker 1: there any one name that keeps popping up? It had 1387 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:37,280 Speaker 1: been all Kavanaugh most of last week, and now things 1388 01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:39,400 Speaker 1: seem to be up in the air, and nobody seems 1389 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 1: to seems to know which way the president is going 1390 01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,720 Speaker 1: to go. Well, Kavanaugh was certainly being talked about and 1391 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,760 Speaker 1: being discussed, but I think Hardeman is a name that 1392 01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm hearing over and over again. So I think Gregg 1393 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:53,680 Speaker 1: is right on the money there. Look what greg is right. 1394 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:57,320 Speaker 1: Wherever they throw this start, it's going to be a 1395 01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:00,160 Speaker 1: win for the president and and the bigger win is 1396 01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 1: his legacy. You know, call it fate, call it what 1397 01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,439 Speaker 1: you know, Justice Kennedy, did you know by stepping off 1398 01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:11,439 Speaker 1: the bench and allowing the president to pick a new 1399 01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:16,120 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice, But he is actually building his legacy. 1400 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,640 Speaker 1: And this is a huge legacy to build. It's a 1401 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: huge thing to leave behind, particularly for the Republican, for 1402 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 1: the Conservatives, and this is something that I think people 1403 01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 1: have been waiting for for some time. So I think 1404 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:32,040 Speaker 1: tonight when he makes this decision. If he picks Hardeman, uh, 1405 01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,200 Speaker 1: he'll have a much easier time getting him confirmed. But 1406 01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:39,599 Speaker 1: whoever he picks, he has definitely solidified his legacy, at 1407 01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:42,559 Speaker 1: least with the Supreme Court. Agree with that. Okay, Now 1408 01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:44,720 Speaker 1: let me move on back to our other topic, um, 1409 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:46,719 Speaker 1: where there's gonna be a lot of news this week. 1410 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:48,640 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of news. I know of at 1411 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:53,320 Speaker 1: least two, probably three big stories that will be broken 1412 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,720 Speaker 1: this week as it relates to Deep State Kate. And 1413 01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 1: then we've got senior Justice Department prosecutor that it was 1414 01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,880 Speaker 1: Andrew Wiseman Mueller's pit pull, that in fact met with 1415 01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:08,560 Speaker 1: the Associated Press in April to discuss so called circumstances 1416 01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:12,680 Speaker 1: surrounding Paul Manafort's case, which he is the lead counsel on, 1417 01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: and that in fact, um and then was appointed by 1418 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,479 Speaker 1: Robert Mueller after but in fact may have been involved 1419 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:22,439 Speaker 1: in leaking grand jury information and the fact that a 1420 01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,880 Speaker 1: grand jury had been convened in the man of fourth case. 1421 01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:26,920 Speaker 1: What do we know about the Sarah, it's your latest 1422 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 1: column today? Oh well, this is this is big developments. Now. 1423 01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:33,280 Speaker 1: You remember in January, Sean we first broke the story 1424 01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,880 Speaker 1: that Andrew Wiseman had actually met with the Associated Press, 1425 01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 1: that he had this like secret meeting with the Associated 1426 01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,400 Speaker 1: Press reporters. It was in April eleven to two thousand 1427 01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:45,639 Speaker 1: and sixteen, and the day after he met with them, 1428 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 1: the Associated Press broke their big explosive expose on Manafort 1429 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:54,200 Speaker 1: talking about his dealings with Ukraine. What was really fascinating 1430 01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:57,559 Speaker 1: about this, Remember, at the time, Andrew Wiseman wasn't a 1431 01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,840 Speaker 1: part of the Special Council. He was the top prosecutor 1432 01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,240 Speaker 1: over at the Justice Department. And now we find, based 1433 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:09,880 Speaker 1: on the document submitted by Weissman by Manaford's attorneys, that 1434 01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,160 Speaker 1: it was Weissman himself who called for that meeting. And 1435 01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,639 Speaker 1: during that time there was a grand jury that had 1436 01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:21,519 Speaker 1: convened about Paul Maniford. So this is really a big 1437 01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,639 Speaker 1: deal for them, and they really are making huge strides 1438 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,360 Speaker 1: that they were able to expose this because now it's 1439 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:29,679 Speaker 1: going to be up to the judge at the Eastern 1440 01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,639 Speaker 1: District here in Virginia. They're going to make the decision, 1441 01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 1: and this judge has tended to be very lenient towards 1442 01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:37,920 Speaker 1: them when it comes to these issues because he does 1443 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,720 Speaker 1: not want exculpatory evidence withheld and that was a big 1444 01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:44,479 Speaker 1: deal with Wiseman in the past. Remember it has been criticized. Well, 1445 01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,639 Speaker 1: the judges actually said straight up that the judge will 1446 01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,400 Speaker 1: decide in this case what is exculpatory and what is 1447 01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,880 Speaker 1: not absolutely and he's going to stick to it. But 1448 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:58,360 Speaker 1: now we have all this new evidence that is surfacing, 1449 01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:02,439 Speaker 1: and this is important evidence because Andrew Wiseman, according to 1450 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,880 Speaker 1: the FBI agents that were in attendance at this meeting, 1451 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:12,600 Speaker 1: according to them, Andrew Wiseman did assist these reporters, allegedly 1452 01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,240 Speaker 1: had them in the right direction, talked about man of 1453 01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:18,720 Speaker 1: Ford's case. This is something that should not be done. 1454 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure Greg can talk about the legal issues surrounding this, 1455 01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,320 Speaker 1: but you cannot. This is a grand jury. This is secretive. 1456 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,519 Speaker 1: This is supposed to be secretive. And this is the 1457 01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,639 Speaker 1: reason why the FBI after this meeting, they weren't expecting 1458 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 1: this meeting to take place. They actually believed that the 1459 01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,720 Speaker 1: meeting was set up by the Associated Press, and this 1460 01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,920 Speaker 1: is according to my sources, and that the the Associated 1461 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:43,120 Speaker 1: Press was going to actually give them information and when 1462 01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:45,960 Speaker 1: they got into the meeting, it was none of that. 1463 01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:49,280 Speaker 1: The Associated press apparently, according to the sources that I 1464 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,920 Speaker 1: spoke with, were like, we're not here to give you information, 1465 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 1: We're here to get information. And now we know that 1466 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,439 Speaker 1: Wiseman was the one that set it up. That meeting, 1467 01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:01,439 Speaker 1: I have been told lasted more than thirty minutes. There 1468 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,960 Speaker 1: were a number of questions being asked by the associated press, 1469 01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,639 Speaker 1: and apparently and allegedly, Wiseman was aiding them and kind 1470 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,160 Speaker 1: of nudging them on in the direction you wanted them. 1471 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:13,439 Speaker 1: There's a reason why Wiseman is no longer at the 1472 01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,479 Speaker 1: prosecution's table in the Paul Mana four cases anymore. He 1473 01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:21,639 Speaker 1: kicked off. He was kicked off. I'm I suspect that 1474 01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,759 Speaker 1: Robert Mueller has kicked him off the case. Well, because 1475 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:28,360 Speaker 1: of this and other things, you'll no longer see Wiseman, 1476 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: and the Wiseman was leading the charge when when Judge 1477 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,920 Speaker 1: Ellis the third beat them down, I never saw a 1478 01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:37,800 Speaker 1: bigger beat down. And that is Judge Ellis saying, oh, 1479 01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:39,880 Speaker 1: we all know what you're doing here. We know you're 1480 01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:42,760 Speaker 1: putting the screws to Manafort and the hopes that he's 1481 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,559 Speaker 1: gonna sing or compose, compose I interpret to be subortin 1482 01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:48,519 Speaker 1: perjury to say anything you need to get out of 1483 01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,880 Speaker 1: a potential jail sentence. And by the way, how many 1484 01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,680 Speaker 1: days now has Paul Manaphort been twenty three hours a 1485 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 1: day confined, never convicted of a thing. And by the way, 1486 01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,479 Speaker 1: Manafort apparently reached out to a quote potential witness that 1487 01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:05,640 Speaker 1: he never even talked to, as I understand it, and 1488 01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:08,280 Speaker 1: what might have been an attempt to get in touch 1489 01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,559 Speaker 1: with the person. But putting all of that aside, I mean, 1490 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,479 Speaker 1: Wiseman was the lead guy. And and they said, the 1491 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:16,600 Speaker 1: reason they want to put the screws to Manafort to 1492 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,640 Speaker 1: make them sing or compose it because they want to 1493 01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:23,160 Speaker 1: either prosecute or or get informations who impeached Donald Trump 1494 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:28,960 Speaker 1: on TL T SLIS. The judge said, well, wait a minute, 1495 01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 1: where did you get this case? Did this case arise 1496 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:40,080 Speaker 1: from the special counsel investigation? And during court room testimony, uh, 1497 01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:43,519 Speaker 1: the prosecutors had to confess, no, it didn't. We dug 1498 01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:50,280 Speaker 1: it out of the dusty archives in the I R. S. Division. Justice, 1499 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:54,160 Speaker 1: that's right, the Tax Department division. So the judge said, well, 1500 01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 1: where do you get the authority? You only have authority 1501 01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:59,759 Speaker 1: if something arises out of your assignment as special counsel. 1502 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 1: Now in the end the judge has said I'm gonna 1503 01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:07,680 Speaker 1: let it go forward, but I still have reservations about this. 1504 01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Paul Manaford is in solitary confinement, 1505 01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:15,320 Speaker 1: behind bars. He's not a violent offender. And this was 1506 01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,479 Speaker 1: the decision of the d C judge, by the way, 1507 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:21,040 Speaker 1: not Ellis. It's a confin Listen, if twenty three hours 1508 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:24,360 Speaker 1: in a jail cell and you're not all you are 1509 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,800 Speaker 1: is charged, you're not convicted of anything. They dug back 1510 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 1: to two thousand and five. But the very reasons Judge 1511 01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 1: Ellis courageously spoke out about Sarah, I've got to be honest. 1512 01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:38,280 Speaker 1: They are trying to break him hard. They're trying to 1513 01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,080 Speaker 1: break him and they're doing a job of it because 1514 01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:44,759 Speaker 1: right now he's sitting in Northern Neck Regional Jail in Worthaw, Virginia, 1515 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,680 Speaker 1: and he has only had twenty three hours a day 1516 01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:49,840 Speaker 1: of he's had twenty three hours a day of solitary 1517 01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 1: confinement and only one hour outside of that solitary confinement. 1518 01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 1: It's one hour a day. That's it. That's it. One 1519 01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:02,240 Speaker 1: hour a day he's restricted. He can't even receive electronic communications. 1520 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:06,120 Speaker 1: His phone calls are restricted to ten minutes each. This 1521 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:09,880 Speaker 1: is really an incredible amount of pressure being put on 1522 01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:13,000 Speaker 1: one person who I have been told by sources is 1523 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:16,920 Speaker 1: not going to cooperate because he has nothing to cooperate on. Well, 1524 01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:19,719 Speaker 1: this is why, Well, this is why the judge said, 1525 01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 1: not just sing. Singing would be obviously a tune that 1526 01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, composing would be what do you want me 1527 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:27,760 Speaker 1: to say so I can get out of this, this 1528 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:31,599 Speaker 1: disastrous situation of twenty three hours a day. Prosecutors know 1529 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 1: that if you apply enough pressure on somebody financially, on 1530 01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:40,439 Speaker 1: their family, or on them personally solitary confinement twenty three 1531 01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:44,160 Speaker 1: hours a day, that person has a very good likelihood 1532 01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:49,200 Speaker 1: of cracking and signing anything. Even a composed statement that 1533 01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:51,599 Speaker 1: is nothing more than a lot sounds a lot like 1534 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 1: a movie where we watch Americans held abroad or former POWs. 1535 01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:02,960 Speaker 1: I have always said that if a pow being tortured 1536 01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:07,360 Speaker 1: signs a document, they do not deserve to get judged 1537 01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:12,000 Speaker 1: by the American people because of the circumstances under which 1538 01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:16,080 Speaker 1: none of us have ever lived. And there they have 1539 01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:21,040 Speaker 1: over two million documents that Robert Mueller has produced to 1540 01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:26,840 Speaker 1: his attorneys. On Friday, apparently fifty thousand more documents were 1541 01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,439 Speaker 1: handed over. This is only weeks before he's supposed to 1542 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,120 Speaker 1: go to trial, and he can't even sit with his 1543 01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:37,479 Speaker 1: attorneys to go over these documents before the trial date. 1544 01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:40,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's really incredible what they're doing to him. 1545 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,719 Speaker 1: They didn't have to throw him in solitary confinement behind bars. 1546 01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:47,519 Speaker 1: The judge, the DC judge in this particular case, so well, 1547 01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,080 Speaker 1: one of my I can't take away his cell phone. Yes, 1548 01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: your honor, you can take away his cell phone. You 1549 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 1: can confine him to his home with an ankle bracelet 1550 01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,360 Speaker 1: disconnect his computer and his telephones and take away his 1551 01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,760 Speaker 1: cell phones. That would have been the proper thing to do. 1552 01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:06,599 Speaker 1: But this judge did not want to do justice. Why 1553 01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,479 Speaker 1: is it that this stands at some point? You know, 1554 01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:12,679 Speaker 1: it's almost like this is now and what I thought 1555 01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:16,720 Speaker 1: there was the presumption of innocence. In what way is 1556 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:20,720 Speaker 1: Paul Manafort a threat to others in society? When I'm 1557 01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:24,160 Speaker 1: talking about a mob murderer here, when I'm talking about 1558 01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:28,120 Speaker 1: a big time drug dealer here, We're not talking about 1559 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,839 Speaker 1: somebody that you know, a gang member that is seeking 1560 01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:34,160 Speaker 1: vengeance in some way. But talking about a two thousand 1561 01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:36,599 Speaker 1: and five tax case, right, it's a it's a tax 1562 01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 1: fraud case, and and it's absurd and outrageous that he 1563 01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:44,439 Speaker 1: be thrown in jail pending trial for this. There were 1564 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:48,360 Speaker 1: other ways to handle it, but this just underscores that 1565 01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,320 Speaker 1: Manaphort cannot get a fair trial in d C in 1566 01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 1: front of that particular judge or in front of a 1567 01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:57,960 Speaker 1: d C jury, And in fact, the other case in Alexandria, Virginia, 1568 01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:00,519 Speaker 1: he can't get a fair trial there. He gets a 1569 01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,760 Speaker 1: fair judge T. S Elis, but they ought to move 1570 01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,000 Speaker 1: it to Ranoke, Virginia, where you can get a fair trial. 1571 01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:09,959 Speaker 1: Now let me go. This trial starts July. Of two trials, 1572 01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:12,920 Speaker 1: and the second one is apparently scheduled for September seventeen, 1573 01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:17,200 Speaker 1: and this in Washington, d C. So you're you're absolutely right, Greg, 1574 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,160 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of people talking about that needing 1575 01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:23,599 Speaker 1: to be moved. Yeah. Well, let me ask this because 1576 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,240 Speaker 1: I think this is very very important. I just want 1577 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:28,680 Speaker 1: to know. One, are the options that Manafort has at 1578 01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:32,080 Speaker 1: this time, Well, he's he's exercising one of them, actually 1579 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:37,160 Speaker 1: two of them. He is appealing his confinement. Uh, and 1580 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:40,120 Speaker 1: he has a very solid legal basis for doing that, 1581 01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,320 Speaker 1: because this is way over the top abusive by the 1582 01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,719 Speaker 1: special counsel and the judge in d C. And second 1583 01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,640 Speaker 1: of all, he is making a motion for moving the 1584 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:53,439 Speaker 1: venue too, as I said to run O Virginia, where 1585 01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:56,759 Speaker 1: he can get a fair shot at justice there, because 1586 01:31:56,800 --> 01:32:00,720 Speaker 1: in d C and Alexandria that are so uh pro 1587 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:04,719 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, they voted that way. They're anti Donald Trump, 1588 01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, and this is a political case where they 1589 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,160 Speaker 1: like it or not. Uh, he cannot get a fair trial. 1590 01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:12,720 Speaker 1: So those are his two options right now. All right, 1591 01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:14,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to let you both go, but we'll 1592 01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,559 Speaker 1: be following all of this nine oh one thirty tonight 1593 01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,400 Speaker 1: Eastern time on Hannity.
