1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,439 Speaker 1: Wow, we're loaded up. This is this is just mind numbing. 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: Every bit of information we've been able to peel off 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: this onion as it relates to deep state corruption, abuse 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: of power, and the level the effort, the insanity of 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: what they have done to destroy first chance Trump's chances 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: of ever winning the presidency and now delegitimize and and 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: really an insatiable appetite to get him out of office. 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: And and it's it's it's mind numbing. And it doesn't 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 1: matter how how corrupt they are the news media. They're 10 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: more corrupt because the news media are the willing accomplices 11 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: every single solitary step of the way. You know, I 12 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: went back and I'm reading through this, this sentencing recommendation 13 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: of Muller, and they did talk about in the last 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: page of this thing to defend history, meaning Lieutenant General Flynn, 15 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: three star and he served, you know, his military services 16 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: public service, they say are exemplary. Served at military thirty 17 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: three years, five years combat duty, led the Defense Intelligence Agency, 18 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: retired as a three star lieutenant general. And the defendant's 19 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: record of military public service distinguished him from every other 20 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: person that has been charged by the Special Council Office. 21 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: Is investigation, and it goes on it adds this line, however, 22 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: senior government leaders should be held to the highest standards. 23 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: And I'm reading this and I'm like, Okay, well, why 24 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: aren't all of these other people in trouble for doing 25 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: far worse than what they alleged that General Flynn did. 26 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: Because the people that interviewed in the FBI General Flynn, 27 00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: including Peter Struck, including then Director come who light himself, 28 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe who lied himself repeatedly, that 29 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: was in the Inspector General's report. When are they gonna 30 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: be held to the highest standards? And this is my 31 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: problem with all of this. You know, some people said, 32 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: why do you keep bringing up Hillary? She did so 33 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: much worse as it relates to Russia collusion. And with 34 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: the Blockbuster report new evidence that we have, everybody knew 35 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: that what they were presenting to the FISA court judges 36 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: was a lie, and they did it anyway. That's what 37 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: the deep state has been about from the get go. 38 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: They knew better than you we the people, and they 39 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: went about and made significant, conscious attempts to destroy Donald Trump. 40 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: And he continues today this hasn't come to an end. 41 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: You know you read through these the sentencing recommendation on 42 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: General Flint again, you know this is pretty screwed up. 43 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: When I don't know if you know this, you know, 44 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: but they mentioned the Logan Act. The Logan Act is 45 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: from seventeen ninety nine. Okay, But what's even worse than 46 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: that there are only two instances in seventeen ninety nine, 47 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: two known instances in which individuals were indicted for violating 48 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: the Logan Act. The last one was in eighteen fifty three. 49 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the Logan Act is about prohibiting unauthorized private 50 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: diplomacy with foreign nations. Oh, you mean like John Kerry 51 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: undermining the President's Iranian policy by backdooring out of the government, 52 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: saying that he disagrees with Donald Trump and his sanctions 53 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: against Iran and a tougher stance against radical Islamic Mullah's 54 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: the chant death to America, Death to Israel that promised 55 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: to wipe Israel off the MAMP. So we're gonna use 56 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: We're citing it a law from seventeen ninety nine, with 57 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: only two known instances in which individuals were indicted for 58 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: violating the Logan Act, and neither incident resulted in a conviction, 59 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: and that's this is how deep they're going into General Flynn. 60 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: And then the other one that they mentioned was the 61 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: FARA Act, which talks at length. I don't want to 62 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: bore you and get you tied up in the details, 63 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: but you know for those people that that end up 64 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: Foreign Agent's Registration Act is what it's called far up 65 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: for short, pertaining to a project that he and his company. 66 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: This is where his son comes into it. Listen, if 67 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: the FBI didn't think that General Flynn lied, and come 68 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: McCabe and Struck didn't think he lied, why would General 69 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: Flynn u ask sign onto a guilty play of lying 70 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: to the FBI because he had no choice because they 71 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: basically said, well, your son worked in the business with 72 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: right general. Hmm. Well you know we're gonna offer you 73 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: this plea agreement or we're gonna have to go full bore, 74 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: just like they did with your own Corzi. Jerown Corsi says, 75 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: I can't lie to my God under oath about a 76 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: crime that I never committed because I didn't lie. It 77 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: was I forgetful. I'm seventy two years old. Yeah, I 78 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: was forgetful. I got it wrong, and I still corrected 79 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: the record when I was when it was pointed out 80 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: to me that I had sent an email, or I 81 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: just didn't recall it. I don't remember a single email 82 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: I sent today. I can't recall I'd have to go 83 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: back and look. It's not how people's minds work. And 84 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: so anyway, the other one is from nineteen thirty eight, 85 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: and this is ridiculous. I'm sorry. In the case of 86 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: the Farah law that they mentioned in the plea agreement 87 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: that they had and the sentencing agreement or the sentencing 88 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: statement that they put out from Muller's office, they fight 89 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: Fara and they fight then. But the dog, hey, you 90 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: should a report in September twenty sixteen, and they actually 91 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: tallied all the prosecutions under that law since nineteen sixty six, 92 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: a whopping seven prosecutions. This is how we treat a 93 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: thirty three year veteran five year combat duty servant of 94 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: his country. Wow. And on top of it, nobody's telling 95 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: you that to get the information that they had on 96 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: General Flynn, what did they do? They surveiled him illegally, 97 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: unmasked him illegally. They didn't use minimization, which is the 98 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: process by which if an American is on the phone 99 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: and caught up an incidental surveillance. They're not supposed to, 100 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: even if they know who it is, identify who that 101 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: American is unless they're doing something illegal. And the illegal 102 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: thing that they thought that General Flynn is trying to 103 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: hide is that as the incoming National Security Advisor, he's 104 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: telling the Russians that there's going to be a change 105 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: in in leadership and a change and approach to how 106 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: we deal as nations together and talking to his future counterpart, 107 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: which by the way, would be his job during a transition. 108 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: It's insanity, and it's wrong, and it's corrupt. Now this 109 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: is where it gets even worse. You got to stay 110 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: with me here. We have been up peeling this onion layer, 111 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, one thin layer at a time, one thin layer. 112 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: We've almost spent, and we have exposed so much between 113 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: this ensemble team that we have put together, Greg Jarrett 114 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: and John Solomon and Zak Carter and Sidney Powell and 115 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: David Shown and I'm gonna start forgetting the people that 116 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: deserve credits. So but we've been doing it and we've 117 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: exposed a lot surveillance abuse, unmasking abuse, intelligence leaking, abuse, 118 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: a massive increase in all of these behaviors in the 119 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: lead up to twenty sixteen by the Obama administration, and 120 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: all of which she never should have happened. So we 121 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: now remember, we've been asking, wanting, hoping, and praying that 122 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: we get the FISA applications, and we do have the 123 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: Inspector General Harowitz. I've been told that he's buried so 124 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: deep in so many different investigations that that's why we're 125 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: not getting his reports sooner, which is frustrating because it 126 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: took eighteen months to get his first report, which was 127 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: fairly devastating to a number of people, and to confirm 128 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: a lot of the process of corruption that we knew 129 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: was going on. So John Solomon writes this piece. Now 130 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: let's go to the FISA court issue. So remember Hillary 131 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: Clinton got a pass, Hillary Clinton got special treatment. Hillary 132 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: Clinton was involved in violating the Espionage Act, and Hillary 133 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: Clinton had subpoena at emails on her in the Mom 134 00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: and Pop bathroom closet server Platt's River network. Okay, that's 135 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: being investigated. The crimes are overwhelming and incontrovertible in terms 136 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: of the evidence. The same with her obstruction. There's never 137 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: been as big an obstruction of justice case than her 138 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: taking subpoena emails and having them deleted, bleach bit on 139 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: the hard drive, and then busting up devices with hammers. 140 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: That's what Hillary Clinton did. Now. Just before Thanksgiving, House 141 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: Republicans amended the list they wanted, the FISA warrants, the 142 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: Gang of Eight material, and the three O two's with 143 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: Bruce or and Christopher Stile. President said he to release it. 144 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: The President has since probably very strategically and wisely, has said, 145 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: you know what, well, the Democrats are coming into the 146 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: House and they're promising endless investigations. I'm going to hold 147 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: this ace in my back pocket, and I'm going to 148 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: show at on my schedule when it's most important to reveal, 149 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: because there's so much corruption in them. Now we know, 150 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: because just before we went away from Thanksgiving, I interviewed 151 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: Devin nunas he's gonna be on Hannity tonight, that there's 152 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: a string of emails that now we know exist between 153 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: the FBI and the Department of Justice. In other words, 154 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: once these come out, what do we know they will reveal? 155 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: John Solomon reports, sources now tell me that the targeted documents, 156 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: the Devin unas these their chain of emails provide the 157 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: most damning evidence to date of potential abuses of the 158 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA, evidence that has been kept 159 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: from the majority of members of Congress now for more 160 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: than two years. The email exchanges included then FBI Director 161 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: James coleme Key, FBI investigators in the Russia probe, and 162 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: lawyers in the DOJ's National Security Division, and they occurred 163 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: in early to mid October before the FBI successfully secured 164 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: the first FISA warrant on hard Page, a Trump campaign associate. 165 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: The email exchanges show that the FBI were fully aware 166 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: before it even secured the warrant that there were intelligence 167 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: community concerns about the reliability of the main evidence that 168 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: were used to support the obtaining of the FISER warrant. 169 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: And that was remember the new Nest memo, the grassly 170 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Grand Memo memos. The bulk of information provided to the 171 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: FISA courts was the Steel dossier. Yeah, the Steel dossier 172 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: that Hillary bought and paid for, the one that's full 173 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: of Russian lies, The same dossier that even Steel himself, 174 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: under oath in an interrogatory in Great Britain, would not 175 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: stand by his own dossier. What this is saying is 176 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: they this email change shows that they knew it was fraudulent, 177 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: they knew it was unverified, they knew it was phony, 178 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: and at the exchange also indicates that FBI officials were 179 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: aware that Steel had contacts with news media was leaking 180 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: this information, which eventually got him fired for leaking and 181 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: for lying. And that was in November twenty sixteen. But 182 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: the FBI withheld this information from the American public even 183 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: though it's being disseminated hookers in a bed, urinating in 184 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: a bed in Moscow, and Trump's rich Carlton hotel room, 185 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: and that they actually, in spite of knowing none of 186 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: this were verified, they signed their names to it anyway, 187 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: and they broke the law and purposely committed a fraud 188 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: on the FISA courts, knowing that the law demands that 189 00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: they verify, authenticate the information. You understand how deep and 190 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: profoundness is. This is a massive smoking gun, and there's 191 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: another one coming tonight. By the way, John Solomon's going 192 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: to join us at the top of the next hour. 193 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get into more details of this. 194 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: But they knew it was fraudulent, They lied to these 195 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: FISA Court judges, and on the other hand, they also 196 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: omitted information that probably would have prevented any warrants from 197 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: being issued. Do you understand how corrupt that is? There 198 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: are so many reasons to be a grateful nation, and 199 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: in large part we have our military and our veterans 200 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: to thank for our liberties and freedom. National Wreaths Across 201 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: America Day is Saturday, December fifteenth.

A fifteen dollar donation to Wreaths Across 205 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: America sponsors a fresh, handmade balsam wreath from Maine with 206 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: a single red bow.

All Right, stay with me 215 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: in this because this is very very important. So now 216 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: we know that there's smoking on email exchanges. It's a 217 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: long chain of emails that includes James Comeyke, FBI investigators 218 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: in the Russia probe lawyers in the DOJ's National Security Division. 219 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: This is why they have been so incapable of handing 220 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: over the documents to investigative committees. This now, and why 221 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: just getting this now is even worse because what it 222 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: shows is in these exchanges is the FBI was fully, 223 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: completely and totally aware that the dossier put together by 224 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: Christopher Steele was well, let's just say, not only not verified, 225 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: not corroborated, but likely false. Now here's where it becomes 226 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: very troubling for that for every one of these people 227 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: knowing that and still allowing the dossier to become the 228 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: bulk of information to obtain the original FISA warrant and 229 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: the subsequent renewal FISA warrants in subsequent applications, and the 230 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: original application that in fact they knew the FBI had 231 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: an obligation. I'm going to prove this in our next 232 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: right after the news at the bottom of the hour, 233 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: that they had by law, by FBI protocol, by standards, 234 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: in the words of the Great Rod Rosenstein. Now he's 235 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: probably in the most trouble because he's signed the last warrant. 236 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: But to everybody that put their signature on these FISA 237 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: applications committed a fraud on a spectacular level to the 238 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: FISA court judges, and that would our own great Jared, 239 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: who will join us too later. Today he's identified at 240 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: least six felonies that would be applicable to every single 241 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: person that signed off on these FISA warrants, the foundation 242 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: of which was the Clinton Boughton paid for Christopher Steele 243 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: Russian dossier full of Russian debunk lies that he himself 244 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: doesn't stand by. This is the smoking Gun email, and 245 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: we only now just got a hold of it. We'll continue. Hey, 246 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: let me tell you something about smoking. Guess what. It's 247 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: not about politics, it's about people. Now, they're about thirty 248 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: eight million Americans that smoke. And I want to tell 249 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: you about my experience switching to jewel I used to 250 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: smoke cigars, I smoked them regularly. I even inhaled them 251 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: at times. Not good. Everyone in my family growing up, 252 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: they all smoked. And now that I've made the switch 253 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: to Jewel, guess what I have found the best alternative ever. 254 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: Now Jewel is designed with smokers in mind. In terms 255 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: of its form technology. It's simple to use, no buttons, 256 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: no switches. It is the satisfying alternative now for one 257 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: in eight American adults who like nicotine like me. Now 258 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: to discover the smoking alternative that's nothing like any e 259 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: sig or vape you've ever tried. Just go to Jewel 260 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: dot com slash switch America.

All right, twenty five now until 263 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: the top of the our eight hundred and nine for 264 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: one seawan told free telephone number you want to join us. 265 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: You know, I think most of you probably missed the 266 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: eulogy yesterday given by George W. Bush heartfelt eulogy of 267 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: his father and now of course the forty first President 268 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush being laid to rest today. I 269 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: just wanted to play some of this. I'll come up 270 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: later in the program today. We'll get to that, all right. 271 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: So I'm going through John Solomon's article here, and I 272 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: just if you're just joining us, I can only just 273 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: tell you this is pretty unbelievable. So we now have 274 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: email chains that have been kept from us in spite 275 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: of every committee in Congress that has oversight authority that shows, 276 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: in other words, an email chain that shows exchanges that 277 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: show that include former FBI Director come Key, FBI investigators 278 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: in the Russia probe, lawyers in the DOJ's National Security Division. 279 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: They've known about these emails for the entire time, which 280 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: explains a lot of the obfuscations, explains a lot of 281 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: the back and forth with the committees, their reluctance, their 282 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: unwillingness to cooperate with congressional committees because that's their job. 283 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: Oversight is part of Congress's job. You're going to see 284 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: a lot of oversight as soon as the Democrats take 285 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: control of the gavels and a lot of these committees 286 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: in the House now hope it's not going to go 287 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: anywhere in the Senate. But that's that's neither here nor there. 288 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: But the fact that the FBI, according to these new emails, 289 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: were fully aware that the bulk of information that was 290 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: used in all four FISA applications, in other words, the 291 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: bulk of information, the Grassy Grand Memo, the new memo 292 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: bear this out was a dossier these Christopher Steele Dossie 293 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: not only does he not stand by it, but it 294 00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: shows the FBI was fully, completely, utterly away about all 295 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: of the concerns about the veracity and the truthfulness about 296 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: the main evidence. The bulk of information that was put 297 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: in the FISA applications to get a warrant to spy 298 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: on a Trump campaign associate not only once, but you 299 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: have to renew that application every three months because it 300 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: is so difficult to obtain that FISA warrant, and it's 301 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: usually for cases that evolve terrorism, etc. Etc. Not in 302 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: this case. Now I'm going to use the words of 303 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein. Now keep in mind, this is the guy 304 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: that signed the third renewal or the fourth FISA warrant. 305 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: This is almost this is nine months into this warrant. 306 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: Every warrant still used as the bulk of information the nacier. 307 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: There's a reason why, is specific reason why, And I 308 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: don't know because I never read pages ten through twelve 309 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: and seventeen through thirty four. But I am told that 310 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: those pages in the last FISA warrant signed by Rod 311 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: Rosenstein would be devastating. Now we've all been asking why, 312 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: as in the President unredacted the information in the FISA warrant, 313 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: the three O twos that would be exchanges for example 314 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: between Bruce war and Christopher Steele. Because remember Christopher Steel 315 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: gets fired for leaking in line, but Christopher Steele was 316 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: not done because they never told, by the way, another 317 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 1: fraud committed on the court. They never told the FISA 318 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: judges how much Christopher Steele, just like Page and Struck 319 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: and Comy and everybody else involved in this, how much 320 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: they hated Donald Trump, and I mean hated. Now sources 321 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: in all of this now say that they knew all 322 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: of this. Now, what should the standard be if you're 323 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: filling out a FISA application in terms of the evidence 324 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: that you're putting forth towards the court. Now we had 325 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: already known that they never informed the FISA judges that 326 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: this information was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, 327 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: the opposition party candidate. They only had a footnote that said, well, 328 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: it might have some political taint, it might be somewhat 329 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: political in nature. No, this was bought and paid for 330 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: by Hillary and her campaign, these Russian lies, and also 331 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: by the DNC that she was controlling the finances of. 332 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: According to Donna Brazil. Now listen to what Rob Rosenstein 333 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: said in May of this year. The way we operate 334 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: in the Department of Justice, if we're going to accuse 335 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: somebody of wrongdoing, we have to have admissible evidence, incredible witnesses, 336 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: we need to prepare to prove our case in court, 337 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: and we have to fix our signature to the charging document. 338 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: That's something that not everybody appreciates. There's a lot of 339 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: talk about FISA applications, and many people that I see 340 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: talking about it not to recognize what a FIES applicat. 341 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: FIES application is actually a warrant, just like a search warrant. 342 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: In order to get a FISA search warrant, you need 343 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: an affidavit signed by a career federal law enforcement officer 344 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: who swears that the information in the affidavit is true 345 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 1: and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief. 346 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: And that's the way we operate. And if it's wrong, 347 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: sometimes it is if you find out there's anything incorrect 348 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: in there, that person is going to face consequences. Think 349 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: of what you have said there, because not only did 350 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: they not only didn't know it was not accurate, they 351 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: knew it was an accurate they were being told. According 352 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: to this new column by John Solomon, again he joins 353 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: us at the top of the they're all being told 354 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: it's not accurate. There were massive concerns about the truth 355 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: and the veracity of this. Now the law requires exactly 356 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: what Rod Rosenstein laid out there to the best that 357 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: they are. Now they didn't to the best of their knowledge. 358 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: Now what does that mean. That means that when they 359 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: use the bulk of the application being the Steel Nassier, 360 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: what they were doing is they were using unverified, uncorroborated 361 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: political lies bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, put 362 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: together by a foreign agent using Russian connections, which spectacularly 363 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: bizarre if you will, allegations in it, and the irony 364 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: of all this is even coomy in January, remember this 365 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: is done in October before twenty sixteen, when he goes 366 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: to see Trump in Trump Tower to say that this exists, 367 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: this Dacier, it's salacious, but it's unproven. Well, it was unproven, 368 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: and why was it already used twice at that point 369 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: to secure FISER warrants against Carter Page. The Trump campaign 370 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: is associate when that was the bulk of the data. 371 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: Because Rod Rosenstein is right, they had an obligation to 372 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: certify to the court before they put the application together 373 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: that the evidence was verified, and if they couldn't verify 374 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: it and they still wanted to include it in the 375 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: FISA application, they had a duty to alert the judges 376 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: to any potential flaws as it relates to evidence or 377 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: information that suggests the target might be innocent. Now we 378 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: also know this is in John Solomon's column, that the 379 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: FBI used an article from Yahoo News. This is the 380 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: circular reporting issue we keep talking about. They tried to 381 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: present to the court Yahoo News his article as somehow 382 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: being independent corroboration for the Steele dossier, knowing damn well 383 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: because he was fired November first of twenty sixteen, that 384 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: Steele had talked to that news out and that was 385 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: part of the renewal applications. So maybe they could say 386 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: they didn't know that Steele talked to is a cooff 387 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: before with the first application, but it couldn't say it 388 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: for applications two three and four. Certainly, and if the 389 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: FBI knew that Steele had media contact before he submitted, 390 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: before they submitted the article, they would be guilty of 391 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: what's called circular intelligence reporting, which is forbidden as a 392 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: tactic in which two pieces of evidence are portrayed as 393 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: independent from each other, independent corroboration, when in fact they 394 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: know it originated from the same source. So that's another 395 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: problem with it. Then again I go back to they 396 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: never told the Fizer Court judges that this was Hillary Clinton, 397 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: the opposition party candidates bought and paid for op research. 398 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: They never told the phiz A Court judges that, in fact, 399 00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: Christopher Steele hated Donald Trump the way he did this 400 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: entire thing. Understand how profoundness is when you have the 401 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: top members of law enforcement, not rank and file. There 402 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: was a reason all of this was taken out of 403 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: the hands of rank and file FBI agents and the 404 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: field offices. When you have the upper echelon of the 405 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: FBI knowing or even having any doubts about the veracity, 406 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: the accuracy, the truthfulness of what they're putting and affies 407 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: the application, what have I been saying? This is abuse 408 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: of power. This is the biggest corruption scandal in the 409 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: history of the country, and the fact that they were 410 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: willing to use paid for unverified Russian lies, and other 411 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: members of the intelligence community were leaking those lies to you. 412 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: We the people ie Iszikoff, David corne I believe was 413 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: part of that and others and disseminating the stories to 414 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: impact the selection and the choice of the American people 415 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: in favor of Hillary over Donald Trump. They were using 416 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: Russian lies. That sounds like Russian collusion to me, except 417 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: they're colluding with the top people within the Department of 418 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: Justice and the FBI. Now, this is where the frustration 419 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: of the president comes in, because we've known a lot 420 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: of this, we've been able to piece this all together. 421 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 1: Now we've got smoking gun evidence that they knew what 422 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: they were doing. Now you know why the FBI chain 423 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: was kept from most members of Congress this past two 424 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: years and it's suddenly just landed on the declassificationless why 425 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: because they know the incoming House Government Reform Committee is 426 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: not going to look into it. Well, now it's a 427 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: legal issue now because we still have the Inspector General's 428 00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: investigation going on. I think there's a very strong likelihood 429 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: slash possibility and Greg Jarrett later will identify the six 430 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: felonies that could have been violated here. Now, if we 431 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: go after we're gonna use the Logan Act. Let's see 432 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: Logan Act, OH seventeen ninety nine and only two known 433 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: instances in which the individuals were indicted for violating that act. 434 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: Last time it happened was eighteen fifty three, and that's 435 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: in the sentence recommendation of Robert Muller. This is how 436 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: deep they're going after Lieutenant General Flynn. And then the 437 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: other thing that he mention mentioned the Farah Law, and 438 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: we know since nineteen sixty six there's only been a 439 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: whopping seven prosecutions. And if they use that also in 440 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: the sentencing recommendation as violations that General Flynn made, then 441 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: I've got to believe that they're going to really stick 442 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: to their guns with equal application of our laws and 443 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: equal justice under the law, and you know, a constitution, 444 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna throw the book at all of them. Now. 445 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: In addition to all of this, House Republicans prepared to 446 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: question Comey on Friday. He signed off on the fives 447 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: A warrant, as did Sally Yates, as did Rod Rosenstein, 448 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: most Intelligence officials like John Brennan and James Clapper. They've 449 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: embraced the concerns laid out in the Steel Pony dossier. 450 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: Nothing was ever proven with that. You really believe that 451 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: two hookers were urinating in Trump's bed in Moscow and 452 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: they knew about it the whole time and we haven't 453 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: heard of seeing any evidence of it. And that Donald 454 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: Trumps snubs putin left and right and take shots and 455 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: much stronger than Obama ever was tell Vladimir I'll have 456 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: more flexibility after the election. So here we are. You know, 457 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: all this time, Robert Muller Comey has been casting you know, 458 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: Comy cast out on the Steel dossier after they used 459 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: it to get the warrants unverified. In sealation, Lisa Page 460 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: further corroborated Comey's concerns and recent testimony when she revealed 461 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: that the FBI had not corroborated any collusion charges by 462 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: Maya twenty seventeen, nine months in when her former lover were, 463 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, colluding if you will, to go after Trump 464 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: because Trump should lose a hundred million to nothing. Now, 465 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: maybe we understand what the media leak strategy and the 466 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: insurance policy were all about, don't we this is the 467 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: insurance policy all makers now want to question Comey about it, 468 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: but the question is long lingered. You know who inside 469 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: the FBI ever verified the Steel dossier. The answer is 470 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: nobody because they couldn't. Who corroborated it? Nobody because they couldn't. 471 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: And in John's article they'll tell us more after the 472 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: top of the hour that the email chain provides the 473 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: single most direct evidence that the bureau, only the upper 474 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: echelon don't take this out on income file guys, and 475 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: the DOJ had reason to doubt the steal dossier long 476 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: before the FISA applications ever went in, and they didn't 477 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: do their job, and they knew it was total bs. 478 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: But the desire of those few at the top to 479 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: stop Trump no pun intended, trumped their desire to obey 480 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: the law. When these documents are released, the American people 481 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: will have all the evidence they need of what was 482 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: an attempt to stop Donald Trump from ever becoming president 483 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: and if God forbid he did. This is where all 484 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: the bludgeoning about Russia came from and originated from. And 485 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: congressional investigators now have this evidence that you know that 486 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: some evidence even inserted into the fourth and final application, 487 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: the Rosenstein application was suspect Devin Newness basically said that 488 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,239 Speaker 1: to me, you know, the last time I interviewed him, 489 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: He'll be on Hannity tonight. Going to be an interesting 490 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: night to get to the bottom of this. By the way, 491 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,239 Speaker 1: you know what the sickest part of all this is 492 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: the media that cares so much about getting to the 493 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: truth about Trump Prussia collusion. Do they care about the Constitution, 494 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: the rule of law, abuse of power out on an 495 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: attempt by abuse of power by people that we give 496 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: the most powerful tools of intelligence. Too unbelievable the way 497 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: we operate that affirment of justice. If we're going to 498 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: accuse somebody of wrongdoing, we have to have admissible evidence 499 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: and credible witnesses. We need to prepare to prove our 500 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: case in court, and we have to fix our signature 501 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: to the charging document. That's something that not everybody appreciates. 502 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: There's a lot of talk about FISA applications, and many 503 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: people that I see talking about it seem not to 504 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: recognize what a FIES application. FIES application is actually a warrant, 505 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: just like a search warrant. In order to get a 506 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: FISA search warrant. You need an affidat and signed by 507 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: a career federal law enforcement officer who swears that the 508 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: information in the affidavit is true and correct to the 509 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: best of his knowledge and belief. And that's the way 510 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: we operate. And if it's wrong sometimes it is. If 511 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 1: you find out there's anything incorrect in there, that person 512 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: is going to face consequences. The rule of law is 513 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 1: indispensable to a thriving and vibrant society. It shields citizens 514 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: from government overreaching and arbitrary action. It allows businesses to 515 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: enter into contracts and invest with confidence. It gives innovators 516 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: protection for their discoveries. It keeps people safe from dangerous criminals. 517 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: And it allows us to resolve our differences peacefully through reason. 518 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: Lawyers are obligated to speak up for the truth. John 519 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: Adams famously observed at facts are stubborn things, and whatever 520 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: it may be our wishes, our clinations, or the dictates 521 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: of our passion, they cannot alter the state of the 522 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: facts and evidence. Pursuing truth means always yielding to the facts, 523 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: even if they run counter to our hopes. In a courtroom, 524 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: truth is about credible evidence, not strong opinions. Truth is 525 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: about credible evidence, not strong opinions. Rod Rosenstein, I think 526 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: these words, in light of John Solomon's big breaking news 527 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: story yesterday, are gonna come back to haunt him, because 528 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: if you sign a faisal warrant, that's like, that's an 529 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: affidavid and to the best of your ability, you know 530 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: that those things are fair and true and correct, or 531 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: the consequences are gonna be severe. Those are Rod Rosenstein's 532 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: own words. Now, we told you that there is a 533 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,479 Speaker 1: big breaking news story we've broken on Hannity last night 534 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: by John Solomon over at the Hill, that there is 535 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: now a series of emails and email chain that has 536 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: been discovered and what we find in the email chain, 537 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: by the way, between the FBI and Department of Justice, 538 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: and this is now available which will now provide the 539 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: most damning evidence to date as it relates to the 540 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: FISA warrant applications. Because the email exchanges and they do 541 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: include director former FBI Director James Coomey, he investigators in 542 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: the so called Russia probe, lawyers in the Department of 543 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: Justice's National Security Division, and that this was all known 544 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: to all of these people as it relates to the 545 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: information in the dossier being false. In other words, they 546 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: had all this information, they knew that it was questionable 547 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: at best. Now we have to remember what are the 548 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: new nas and what are the grassy grandmamos say that 549 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: the bulk of information in the FISA applications, the original application, 550 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: the three subsequent renewal applications, the bulk of information to 551 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: obtain the FISA warrant against the Trump associate Carter Page, 552 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: was in fact the dossier the Boughton paid for Russian 553 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: lies of Hillary Clinton. And these email exchanges show that 554 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,439 Speaker 1: the FBI before they ever filed the first application, were 555 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: aware before they secured the fies A warrant, that there 556 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: were intelligence community concerns about the reliability of the main 557 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: evidence used to support it, that was Christopher Steele's dossier. 558 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: And the exchange also indicates that FBI officials were aware 559 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: that Steel, the foreign actor that was hired by Fusion 560 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: gps I thought foreign nationals weren't supposed to impact our elections, 561 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: that in fact was working as a confidential human source 562 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: for the Bureau, had contacts with the news media. In 563 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: other words, now we get into a whole circular reporting 564 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: issue that we've talked about to create an image and 565 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: an impression that there were independent sources corroborating the same 566 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: news that turns out to be false, and the FBI 567 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: what we now know. The FBI fired Steel for lying 568 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: in leaking, but the fi I withheld the information that 569 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: they had earlier from the American public in Congress for 570 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: many many months, that Steele had been paid to find 571 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: dirt on Trump by Hillary and the DNC, and that 572 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: Steele himself harbored a hatred of Donald Trump. And then, 573 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: of course, if we ever get the three O two's, 574 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: even after he's fired, meaning Christopher Steele, even though he 575 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: can't in an interrogatory in Great Britain, didn't stand by 576 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: his own dossier. He said, oh fifty fifty at best 577 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: in that interrogatory. Well, that was what was used to 578 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: obtain the warrants. And in fact, the FBI knew his 579 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: media contacts, they knew that he didn't certify it. There 580 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: was no verification, there was no corroboration of the things 581 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: that he put in the dossier. And we now find 582 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: ourselves at a point where pretty much the FBI and 583 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: this new email chain that was discovered that they kept 584 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: from Congress members of Congress for the past two years, 585 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: all of this information that they knew. Let me put 586 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: it in another way, they willingly used the Hill or 587 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: Clinton bought and paid for Steel dossier, Russian lies to 588 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: illegally commit a fraud on the fies the court not 589 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: once but four times, and purposely lie and also withhold 590 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: pertinent information defies the court judges in these applications. Now, 591 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: the person that has broken the story, I think it 592 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: is most damning evidence to date, and we have had 593 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: a lot of it. John Solomon joins us now with 594 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: the hell, how are you, sir? I'm good, Sean, thanks 595 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: for having me on. All right, So, there is an 596 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: email chain that basically corroborates that everybody in the FBI 597 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: DOJ that there was no corroboration of any of the 598 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: information in the dossier, and quite the opposite, they even 599 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: had their own doubts. Yeah, let me tell you what specifically, 600 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: what sources are saying, they're what they're saying is that 601 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: there's an email chain that only has become known recently 602 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: to members of Congress that shows that the FBI was 603 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: aware there were intelligence community concerns about the validity, accuracy, 604 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: reliability of the Steel dos And that is so important 605 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: because those concerns enter the FBI leadership chain before the 606 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: FIS is given to the court and before it's approved. 607 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: And we know one of the people on that email chain. 608 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: You don't know how much it designed there yet, but 609 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: is James Comey, who signs one of the FISA warrants. 610 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: So the head of the FBI is on an email 611 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: chain where people are aware and being alerted that the 612 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: intelligence community has concerns about elements of the Steel dossier. 613 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: That's important because the FISA regulations require if you're going 614 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 1: to use the Steel dossier as corroborating evidence for a warrant, 615 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: you have to have confirmed it was verified it's accurate, 616 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: and we now know that we're concerns raised about the 617 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: accuracy reliability prior to the dossier being used in that capacity. 618 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: The second thing is we know from the release of 619 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: the redacted version of the FISA that they used a 620 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: Yahoo News article has separate corroboration to bolster the dossier. Well, 621 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: we know that Steel and Yahoo talked, right, Michael scoffin, 622 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: Steel talked before the publication article. We learned that, but 623 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: it's never been clear did the FBI know prior to 624 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: the fies of its steel and yeah, who had talked. 625 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: We now know, according to email chain the sources who 626 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: are familiar with it, that the FBI was aware of 627 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: steels contacts with the media before they went to the 628 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 1: fi succurt. If both of those things are true, If 629 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: the email chain shows both of those things, it would 630 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: provide prima fac the evidence if the FBI did not 631 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: meet its obligations to the FICUC court. And people who've 632 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 1: seen it, who are talking about it, Devin Ningez talk 633 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: about this as some of the most damning evidence of 634 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: wrongdoing it. In other words, wouldn't that be by every definition. 635 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 1: Let's let's use Rod rosen Stein's own words, and by 636 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: the way, can we throw those over to TV so 637 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: they have it because we're going to get into this 638 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: more detail tonight. When he said, well, if fis an application, 639 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: if it's an affidavit, and if and if a career 640 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: law enforcement officer puts his name to it, he is 641 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: sort fying with his full faith and confidence that it 642 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: is fair and true, inaccurate, or there are severe consequences. 643 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 1: I think I think I captured his tone cadence when 644 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: he says it. I think so there's something we ought 645 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: to talk about there, because you know what, there was 646 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: a moment this past summer that has stuck in my 647 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: memory and I wish we can follow up on it 648 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,399 Speaker 1: in the next morn testimony by Rod Rosenstein. But Jim 649 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: Jordan basically got Rod Rosenstein to one inch from admitting 650 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: he never read the FISA application that he signed. If 651 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: that is true, rod Rosenstein failed his own description of 652 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: his obligations. That Rod Rosenstein did not fully read the 653 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: fourth renewal application, which is the one he signed, that 654 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: is going to constant hang on if he didn't read it, 655 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 1: did he really not read it? Or maybe he did 656 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: read it? And maybe now that he knows, because at 657 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: the point at which we're discussing this, we now know 658 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: that the bulk of information to obtain the fisas the 659 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 1: phony dossier that even Christopher Steele doesn't them buy. So 660 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: my question is maybe he actually did know. Maybe actually, 661 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: and he's just saying it because that's the better of 662 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: two bad choices. Yeah, yeah, they're both bad choices because 663 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: the court and the law will not look favorably on 664 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: the Deputy Attorney General under either circumstance if he knew 665 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: they were wrong, and he submitted it. He has significant culpability, 666 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: and he dishonored the Justice Department. And if he didn't 667 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: read it and do his obligation inside it, he didn't 668 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 1: fulfill his obligation, and he dishunted the Justice Department. Doesn't 669 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: just prove though that they were willing to do anything, 670 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 1: including not follow procedure protocol and the actual law itself. 671 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: And they willingly lied and committed a fraud upon the 672 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: court to obtain a warrant to spy illegally on an 673 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: American citizen. Isn't that what we're really talking about? We are? 674 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: And I think Sean the other maybe two weeks ago, 675 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: just before Thanksgiving it Devin Neutoni is on and for 676 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: the first time I heard him describe the insurance policy 677 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: is something that what's been speculated in the media in 678 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: the past, and that is the insurance was all the 679 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: evidence they were going to gather to bulk up with 680 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: Steele dossier. And I don't know if you remember what 681 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: Devin said in that interview. You did a great job 682 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: interview me. He said, when people find out what the 683 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 1: insurance policy is, which was a bunch of evidence put 684 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: together to bulk up a very weak dossier. They're going 685 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: to be just as a shamed as they are of 686 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 1: the dossier. It's just as problematic and concerning. And you 687 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: know where a lot of that evidence was submitted for 688 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,479 Speaker 1: the first time to the fight Sup Court that bulk 689 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 1: up the questionable Steele dossier. It was on the frice 690 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: application that Rod Rosenstein submitted, not the three prior but 691 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,760 Speaker 1: the one he submitted. And I think on your show, 692 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 1: Devin said that that there's information in that fourth fice 693 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,399 Speaker 1: that wasn't in any the other fices and it's as 694 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 1: troubling as a Steele dossier itself. I can't wait to 695 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: the day we get to see that when the president 696 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: he classifies that. Okay, now, what our own judgments, we 697 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: thought the president would do this before the election, he 698 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: decided not to. Now he did give us some insight 699 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: since then. When right when the question came down, well 700 00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 1: what are you going to do about all these Democrats 701 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 1: that are pledging to you know, start endless investigation after investigation, 702 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: he said he's got information that he's holding in his 703 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: back pocket that is going to show their corruption. Now, 704 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: I kind of like the strategic tactical thinking of it. 705 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: But I don't know what's worse. I'd prefer, I think, 706 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: to see what is in those three zero two's and 707 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: the Gang of Aid and those FISA applications, especially in 708 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: line of your report. Right, Yeah, I think you know 709 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: it's interesting. Donald Trump always has a lot of fun 710 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 1: on Twitter, right, But I think the real reason my 711 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: reporting I've done a lot of reporting on. Remember it 712 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 1: was the interview with President Trump that I had back 713 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: in September where he mentioned he was going to classify it, 714 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: and he just goes for the first time, he hadn't 715 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 1: even read the documents. He was trusting the people in 716 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: Congress and their judgment and he would he would release 717 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,839 Speaker 1: them without reading himself. So he didn't tamper with the investigation. 718 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: Here's what my reporting indicates on why the president hasn't 719 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: done that yet. He hasn't done it because, as lawyers believe, 720 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: it could be construed as an effort at a structing 721 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,479 Speaker 1: the investigation in its final phases. It is winding down 722 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: by all accounts, and the greatest exoneration the president can 723 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: claim is that the investigation just ended. And guess what, 724 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't charged, just like I told you there was 725 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 1: no clusive That is the most important thing. Plus, it 726 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: ends an investigation that has tormented all of America, all politoclous. 727 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: I think the President is waiting for that moment, and 728 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: then I believe all my reporting ind JCS will be 729 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: prepared at that moment to start to unleash these documents, 730 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: and we'll then begin to go from the phase of 731 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 1: he's been exonerated to let's hold accountable the people who 732 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 1: put the sharade upon the American people. Quick Break, we'll 733 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: have more with our good friend John Solomon. Now he's 734 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: going to be breaking other news tonight that is also 735 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 1: as big as last night's revealed. That's coming up nine 736 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 1: Eastern Hannity on Fox News quick Break. Right back, we'll 737 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: continue straight ahead, right as we continued, John Solomon with 738 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,840 Speaker 1: the Hill reporting with US. I guess what's so amazing 739 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: that the FBI and the dj and now we now 740 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: know they knew that it was at best, so they 741 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 1: never corroborated. Now we have an email chain that proves 742 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,320 Speaker 1: they never corroborated the Steel dossier, the bulk of information 743 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 1: for the FISA applications. There are crimes in play here 744 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: for individuals. This is this. We're going to put people 745 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: in jail. We're lying to the FBI repeatedly in process crimes. 746 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 1: These are real crimes. There really was a not only 747 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: an effort to prevent Trump from becoming president, but also 748 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: worse than that, they have an insurance policy to destroy 749 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: him should he win, which we're now discovering. But you 750 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: also have a story you're breaking tonight. Can you give 751 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: us a headline? Well, there are two questions in this 752 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: whole investigation that particularly conservatives have been most concerned about it. 753 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 1: Right The first is was this a railroad? Was this 754 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:54,760 Speaker 1: an effort to legitimize President Trump's election victory by creating 755 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 1: a bogus election scandal? And I think we are election 756 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,320 Speaker 1: collusion scandal. And I think you know we from the 757 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee report, we know from what the Senate 758 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: Intelligence committe chairman just said recently, still no collusion two 759 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: and a half years later. I think we're pretty certain 760 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,839 Speaker 1: that collusion will not be proven. We should wait for BROB. 761 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,839 Speaker 1: Muller's last report before we make a final determination. But 762 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: I think the first concern is if it wasn't a 763 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: real investigation, were abuses committed to create the appearance of 764 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 1: a real investigation, and that's what we just talked about. 765 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: The second question that comes up, because they're really twinned 766 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: in the consciousness not only of the American public, but 767 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,840 Speaker 1: in the FBI agents who worked in both cases, was 768 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 1: the treatment of the Clintons. Did that Clintons get a 769 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 1: disparate treatment from that of President Trump? If there were 770 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 1: so much? In other words, we would go ahead. We're 771 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: going to get the second part. We now know the 772 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: part that they will deal with the Clintons. Absolutely, yes, 773 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 1: you've interpreted exective that I said directly. We're going to 774 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: learn tonight about some evidence that the Trump Justice Department 775 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: has had for more than a year about the Cunton Foundation. 776 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: And I think it will be interesting. It involves whistleblowers. 777 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:02,800 Speaker 1: It involves explained why a whistleblower's home was rated recently. 778 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: It's a different ye, different whist the blower. Though. I 779 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, I'm gonna have 780 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 1: to run. But yeah, I think, all right, So John 781 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,240 Speaker 1: Solomon will be breaking more news on the Clinton foundation tonight. 782 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: People were looking at me. They wanted an insurance policy 783 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 1: just in case I won or Hillary lost, And this 784 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: was the insurance policy. It's a scam. There was no 785 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: collusion whatsoever, and the whole thing is a scam. All right, 786 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: That was the President responding, And now we know that 787 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: the FBI knew it was a scam. The bulk of 788 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 1: the information used to obtain the FISA warrant against Carter Page, 789 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 1: the bulk of the application, the FISA application, both the 790 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: original application three subsequent applications were based on information that 791 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 1: was false and the FBI knew it. That's what John 792 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:52,240 Speaker 1: Solomon is reporting. And with his new report out tonight, well, 793 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 1: we're going to discover just how far and deep the 794 00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: protection was given to Hillary Clinton. You know, we're joined 795 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: by well, our good friend Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analysts, 796 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 1: author of the book The Russia Hoax, and also David Shone, 797 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 1: civil liberties attorney, criminal rights attorney. All Right, you've read 798 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: Solomon's article. You just turned him in the last half hour. 799 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,760 Speaker 1: He'd between the report we broke last night, the FBI 800 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 1: knew that the information that they were putting in the 801 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 1: FISA application was questionable at best. They never verified as 802 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,320 Speaker 1: the law requires, that protocol requires, and they never corroborated, 803 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 1: and they did it anyway using faulty information. So it 804 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 1: seems like a conspiracy if you're going to use that 805 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 1: word or in terms of the law, legal term, to 806 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 1: defraud a FISA court and commit a fraud on a 807 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: FISA judge, and he illegally obtained a warrant on an 808 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: American citizen's right. And if I'm Carter paids tonight today, 809 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm a very wealthy man. By the time 810 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: this is all said and done. He should be because 811 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 1: he was victimized by people who deliberately broke the law. 812 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: James Comey, Andrew McKay, Sally Yates signed off on the 813 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 1: five so warrant Rod Rosenstein, who appears to have known 814 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: or he ignored and didn't do his duty of due diligence. 815 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,840 Speaker 1: I spent three chapters in my book The Russia Hoax, 816 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: presenting the facts, the evidence in the law of how 817 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 1: the FBI knew that this dossier was fabricated and phony, 818 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: they didn't care. They used it to launch the Trump 819 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 1: Russia investigation, signing papers July thirty, first, two and sixteen 820 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: without credible evidence required under federal regulations. And then they 821 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 1: took it a step further. They present it to a 822 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: judge to spy on an American citizen, concealing vital evidence 823 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 1: and deceiving the court. That is a fraud on the court. 824 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 1: But the bigger picture is that they have committed a 825 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 1: fraud on the American polity. Felonies are we talking about 826 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,760 Speaker 1: potentially here? Well, I've identified in my book six different 827 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 1: felonies just with respect to the fires would mean if 828 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 1: now this email, as John reports, shows that they knew 829 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 1: the information was false, they knew that it was questionable 830 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,439 Speaker 1: at best, but yet they still used it, they would 831 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 1: have You've identified six. That would mean the people that 832 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,720 Speaker 1: signed it. That would be James Comey, right, Sally Yates, 833 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 1: is Andrew mc Andrew McKay, Rod Rosenstein, Rod Rosenstein, Steinn 834 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 1: the last one which makes it especially back, which is 835 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: why he's been obstructing Congress's efforts to get their hands 836 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 1: on these documents. The President needs to declassify this information 837 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,720 Speaker 1: and then we'll see the evidence. How did this email 838 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 1: chain We've been at this story now for almost two years, 839 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: David Show, almost two years? How did we only now 840 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,839 Speaker 1: get to that point? That's just how good they are 841 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 1: concealing this And by the way, it's in one more 842 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: reason to read Greg's book everyone should have. Let me 843 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,280 Speaker 1: say this, besides carter Page becoming a well wealthy person, 844 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 1: I think honestly that carter Pages lawyers are to give 845 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: some thought to filing a motion to get him before 846 00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,240 Speaker 1: the fives accord, maybe emotion for contempt because as of today, 847 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:05,799 Speaker 1: the Physo Court rules require the modification of any application 848 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 1: and the correction of any information that was in that 849 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,800 Speaker 1: in any application for a warrant, including information that left 850 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 1: out the reliability of that information. I think it should 851 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 1: be before that court, and that court should now bring sanctions. 852 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: This is what the United States Supreme Court and every 853 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 1: court down the line has written about the danger of 854 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,399 Speaker 1: the ex parte practice of seeking warrants. Sometimes there are 855 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 1: reasons for it, and it's a normal practice, but with 856 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 1: the physocort the consequences are even heightened, and the secrecy 857 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 1: is for the greatest intrusion into the lives of an 858 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: American citizen. We can't have even an iota of question 859 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,479 Speaker 1: about whether an application has reliable information. In this case, 860 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: now there's apparently strong evidence that they wasn't reliable, and 861 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 1: they knew it wasn't reliable. I think he should be 862 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,800 Speaker 1: proceeding on every front lawsuit. There should be criminal sanctions 863 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: if this is in fact true, and I think they 864 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,360 Speaker 1: should bring emotion before the phiz accord. He has standing 865 00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: as are not heard from these Fier Court judges. I 866 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,320 Speaker 1: know this is a secret court. I know, but that's it. 867 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,920 Speaker 1: Because it's secret. John Roberts, the Chief Justice in the 868 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,319 Speaker 1: United States, is actually in charge of the FISA Court. 869 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 1: He appointed all twelve members that currently stood on the court. 870 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 1: He should issue an order directing the presiding judge of 871 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: that court to hold a show cause hearing for contempt 872 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: to haul these individuals in front of the court. And 873 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,239 Speaker 1: a point, by the way, an outside representative and advocate, 874 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 1: because this is a secret, one sided court, to make 875 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: sure that the interests of Carter Page and others the 876 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,719 Speaker 1: American public are represented properly. Unbelievable, all right, So now 877 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: if we get other information we knew about the exoneration, 878 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 1: this is a lie that Comey told that. I think 879 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 1: eventually he's going to have to be held accountable for 880 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 1: he in two separate ways. Number One, by leaking the 881 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 1: information as he did to that Columbia professor. Sure, but 882 00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,919 Speaker 1: the purpose of getting that leak to the New York 883 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,280 Speaker 1: times and appointing a special counsel. But James Comy also 884 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 1: lied himself by saying that he didn't write an exoneration 885 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,839 Speaker 1: before an investigation before interviewing Hillary Clinton. Does that mean 886 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,280 Speaker 1: he gets the Flint treatment? Does that mean he gets 887 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,200 Speaker 1: the Michael Khne treatment. Does Cheryl Mills get it? Does 888 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,279 Speaker 1: Uma Abadeen get it? Does John Brennan get it? Do 889 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 1: James Clapper get it? Does Eric Holder get it? Does 890 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,839 Speaker 1: Lauretta Lynch get it? Because I've got our articles on 891 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 1: every one of them having lied before Congress, and I've 892 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 1: Michael Cone lied before Congress. He had to fast up 893 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: to it before a judge. And that's a crime last 894 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 1: time I checked. Right, Yeah, I think it's an example 895 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 1: of it, and we'll be an example of some of 896 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 1: the most selective enforcement of the laws that we have 897 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 1: ever seen unless these people are brought to justice. The 898 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 1: same thing's going on, by the way, you see Manafort prosecuted. 899 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 1: What about Podesta and Greg Craig. What's going to happen 900 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: in those cases? We're gonna have to wait and see. 901 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,360 Speaker 1: But listen, this is an whole new set of questions 902 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 1: to ask Comy with this information coming out and it's 903 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,480 Speaker 1: critically important that they be prepared when they have him 904 00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 1: in these congressional hearings to get him under oath about 905 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 1: these things. And a question and there will be will 906 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: Daniel Richmond represent him? Because Comey said he's represented still 907 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 1: by Richmond, David Kelly, Pat Fitzgerald. How interesting that he 908 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,240 Speaker 1: has the three people that would be otherwise used against 909 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 1: him in a case like this, isn't it right? And remember, 910 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 1: Daniel Richmond has a specific conflict. He worked as a 911 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 1: special government employee for over a year for the DOJ. 912 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: His duty was to the DOJ, not to Comy. There's 913 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,080 Speaker 1: a real conflict there. And under the US Code Section 914 00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 1: two zero five, eighteen USC. Two zero five, he's prohibited 915 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 1: from appearing against ay the interests of any agency that 916 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: he worked for in any matter he was involved in. 917 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting how this plays out. He's a 918 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 1: law professor. He certainly knows better. Comy is one of 919 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:46,280 Speaker 1: the most prodigious liars, in my judgment, ever to hold 920 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,839 Speaker 1: a high government position. And you know, he brags about it. 921 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 1: You know he's on the view and he readily admits 922 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 1: that he's a liar. And all you have to do 923 00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,720 Speaker 1: is look at the presidential memos he authored and stole 924 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 1: and then leaked. They are right, you know, lies to president. 925 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 1: He says that good people can lie. I mean, I 926 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: guess he wasn't talking about Michael Flynn. He wasn't talking 927 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,879 Speaker 1: about George Papadopoulos or any of the other people talking 928 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: about himself and Drew McCabe here second in McCann McCabe 929 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 1: demand McCabe was fired for lying multiple times within the FBI. 930 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 1: You defended his character on Twitter. That's that's okay. Lying 931 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: is okay internally, No, it's definitely not. In fact, the 932 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,840 Speaker 1: McCabe case illustrates what an organization that's committed to the 933 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 1: truth looks like. We investigated hold. I ordered that investigation. 934 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 1: We investigate and hold people accountable. Good people lie. I 935 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 1: lay out in the book. I think I'm a good person. 936 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,440 Speaker 1: Where I've lied, I still believe Andrew McCabe is a 937 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 1: good person. Oh, every good people lie. I've lied. I've 938 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 1: laid it out on my book. He says, well, I 939 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,959 Speaker 1: got news for him. I didn't lie in my book. 940 00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,080 Speaker 1: I presented facts, evidence in law. His book is one 941 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 1: big lie. And I mean, you would need a calculator 942 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 1: to keep track of all of the lies and deceptions 943 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 1: that James Comey has been peddling for the better part 944 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: of two and a half years. Let's go to the 945 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:12,360 Speaker 1: Flynn sentencing recommendation from earlier this week. It's interesting because 946 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,919 Speaker 1: two antiquated laws were cited in this. One is the 947 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,920 Speaker 1: Logan Act. This is interesting to me. There are only 948 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 1: two known instances, David. I've done a little research the 949 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 1: little Greg Jarrett on my own here in which individuals 950 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 1: have been indicted for violating the Logan Act, the last 951 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,240 Speaker 1: of which was in eighteen fifty three. Neither indictment resulted 952 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: in a conviction. And the Farah law, which is you 953 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:42,160 Speaker 1: know when you're doing businesses with foreign governments, Well, in 954 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,920 Speaker 1: September twenty sixteen, they should have reported the DOJ that 955 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: tallied all the prosecutions unto FARA since nineteen sixty six, 956 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 1: there's been seven, with I believe one conviction. That's great work. Listen, 957 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,120 Speaker 1: if they're going to bring that's what you do to 958 00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 1: a thirty three year veteran five years of active duty combat. 959 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 1: That's how we treat him right. And it's a classic 960 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,919 Speaker 1: situation of having the special counsel decide who is telling 961 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,080 Speaker 1: the truth and who isn't. He rewards those who give 962 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,160 Speaker 1: him what he wants, and otherwise he punishes them. But listen, 963 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 1: if there's going to be a Logan Act prosecution, ever, 964 00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 1: line up John Kerry, because John Kerry was overseas marshaling 965 00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 1: Iran against our country, undercutting the Trump administration with the 966 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 1: recently Yeah, line them up first if you really want 967 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,439 Speaker 1: to bring a Logan The truth is the Logan Act 968 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 1: is a joke. And you know, in the twentieth century 969 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 1: nobody was ever indicted or prosecuted. Why constitutional scholars and 970 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 1: lawyers and judges all agree it is unconstitutional. Logan Act, 971 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 1: by the way, again twice since eighteen it was a law. 972 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,360 Speaker 1: By the way, this was law. It's seventeen ninety nine. Right, 973 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 1: it's dormant two times. But it is prohibiting unauthorized private 974 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 1: diplomacy with foreign nations. And you're right, David, that John 975 00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 1: Kerry would have violated it. But wait a minute. This 976 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 1: is an incoming national security advisor talking to a future counterpart, 977 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 1: which seems to me to be logical. It has no 978 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 1: application because first of all, Michael Flynn wasn't acting as 979 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 1: a private citizen, but rather as a government representative of 980 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: the incoming administration. And this is what all transition teams, 981 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 1: including the last president's transition team, Barack Obama, did, engaging 982 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: with foreign diplomats and foreign governments to prepare them for 983 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,480 Speaker 1: the incoming administration and the challenges that lay ahead. The 984 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 1: Logan Act has no application, but they used it. Sally 985 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 1: Yates used it as a pretext to interview and entrap 986 01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 1: Michael Flynn. Well, now nobody talks about those little known 987 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: facts in my bust. Okay, by the way, it's called 988 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: the Russia hoax. We've I quick Greg more with David 989 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,000 Speaker 1: Shona and Greg Jarrett on the other side. Right as 990 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,480 Speaker 1: we continue, Greg Jarrett and David Shone is with us, 991 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: and we left off talking about the Logan Act and 992 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 1: so on and so forth. Now, the thing is that 993 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: nobody talks about is that we know that Lieutenant General 994 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 1: Flynn was illegally surveiled. There was no minimization. He also 995 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,320 Speaker 1: was unmasked, and it was raw intelligence before he ever 996 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: went into an interview with the FBI that the FBI 997 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 1: didn't even think he was lying about. They had a 998 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,000 Speaker 1: whole transcript of an illegally taped phone call by the government. 999 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,840 Speaker 1: Am I wrong on that? You're right, You're absolutely right. 1000 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:26,400 Speaker 1: So they knew what he was, they knew what he 1001 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,480 Speaker 1: had said, and anything that deviated from that phone call 1002 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 1: they were gonna say guilty. And remember they withheld the 1003 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 1: belief by the FBI that he did not lie. Listen, 1004 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 1: every fact surrounding the Flynn case, in my view is 1005 01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 1: it makes it a pitiful case. This is a man 1006 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,680 Speaker 1: who served his country with great distinction for many, many years. 1007 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,280 Speaker 1: It's it's an absolute example of the Justice Department seeking 1008 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 1: injustice rather than justice, turning the screws to his family, 1009 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,600 Speaker 1: leaving him without the resources to really defend himself in 1010 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 1: this case. And he had no choice but to do 1011 01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 1: what he did. But isn't that the case with a 1012 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 1: lot of people. You know, look at ninety percent of 1013 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 1: the American people can barely survive three months economically if 1014 01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: a catastrophe hits their family. So when you have the 1015 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,440 Speaker 1: added costs being in government. I know people now that 1016 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,200 Speaker 1: serving government that actually are paying to work on those jobs. 1017 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 1: That's how big a sacrifice is. By the time they 1018 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 1: hire their attorneys and all every time you have to 1019 01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,000 Speaker 1: go before a congressional committee. Every time you have to 1020 01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,720 Speaker 1: go before an investigator, it's over and over. So he 1021 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 1: had to sell his house. Oh yeah, and they also, 1022 01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,440 Speaker 1: I would bet any amount of money I had. They 1023 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:32,439 Speaker 1: threatened his kid who worked with her. Oh they did. 1024 01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 1: I've confirmed that, and I, you know, have presented that 1025 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 1: in columns and in the book as well. Here's what happened. 1026 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,640 Speaker 1: Sally Yates, who was then the acting attorney general until 1027 01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions took over, decides she's going to damage Trump. 1028 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,080 Speaker 1: She gets a transcript the surveillance of this conversation between 1029 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:55,320 Speaker 1: Flynn and Kissley Act. She says, let's use the logan 1030 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 1: act as a pretext. Will go in there and interview them, 1031 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 1: interview him even though and we have the transcript, and 1032 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,360 Speaker 1: that'll give us an excuse for interviewing him. And if 1033 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,680 Speaker 1: he deviates one word from that transcript in his account 1034 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 1: of it, based on his memory, will charge him with 1035 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Lyne Well. Peter Struck and another agent who interviewed him 1036 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 1: came out of that and said he didn't lie, told 1037 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 1: the truth. Otherwise, McCabe and call me both on record. 1038 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 1: Think he did it a lot. Is exactly right. So 1039 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 1: the DJ drops it along comes Robert Muller and his 1040 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:32,200 Speaker 1: special counsel. They resurrect the case and prosecute Flynn for 1041 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:36,080 Speaker 1: lying even though he told the truth, to squeeze him 1042 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:40,440 Speaker 1: for some information to implicate Donald Trump in so called collusion. 1043 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 1: Last for it, David, I think Greg just had the 1044 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 1: last word. That's really what's gone on in this case. 1045 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: Greg has a lot of material for the sequel. As 1046 01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,800 Speaker 1: I've said before, I'm really eager to hear what's going 1047 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 1: to come out tonight. You could hear how you reported 1048 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 1: on your show, and it's just us. It's an absolute 1049 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,880 Speaker 1: shock to the justice system as operated and going to 1050 01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 1: be this way. Is it really a shock or have 1051 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,720 Speaker 1: they had free rain now for decades and that the 1052 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,760 Speaker 1: whole thing is because Donald Trump is a disruptor. You're right, 1053 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 1: but I hope it's still a shock to the American 1054 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,439 Speaker 1: people that it's in such dysfunction. Problem is the media 1055 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,760 Speaker 1: doesn't report what we do. All right, Thank you both, 1056 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,880 Speaker 1: great insight.

And she still works a forty 1310 01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,120 Speaker 1: hour a week and you know she'll have a little whiskey. 1311 01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:25,599 Speaker 1: But you know, I think he watched me go through that, 1312 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,519 Speaker 1: and it was probably a little prodigal son there for 1313 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,599 Speaker 1: a while. But then you come back around, you make 1314 01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:32,640 Speaker 1: the circle and you're still alive. God took carry you, 1315 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 1: kept you out of harm's way, and you realize how 1316 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 1: fortunate you are to have made it through that. I 1317 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,080 Speaker 1: call it the wonder years. It's a wonder I lived 1318 01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: through him, you know, Like I went to Catholic schools. 1319 01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 1: What I realized later is it got in right like, 1320 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,840 Speaker 1: because you can't live that way and not start feeling 1321 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,840 Speaker 1: like crap overliving that way. That's exactly what that is 1322 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:51,840 Speaker 1: in anybody's life. I mean, there's a lot of that 1323 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,759 Speaker 1: that's out there. Yeah, and then I've got two kids, 1324 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,759 Speaker 1: you know, I've got two sons. So now they're watching. 1325 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,320 Speaker 1: By the way, my son's older than yours. God is 1326 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:04,120 Speaker 1: going to pay you. Boy. I'm warning you, it's if 1327 01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:06,600 Speaker 1: you get it back twice as bad. Well I earned it. 1328 01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:11,920 Speaker 1: Did your dad hit you? Minded? Spankings were pretty common 1329 01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:13,920 Speaker 1: around my house. But but once I got the belt, 1330 01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:15,479 Speaker 1: you never got the belt. No, I got the belt 1331 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 1: all the time. But once once I got too big 1332 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,720 Speaker 1: for that, he started coming up with these creative punishments. 1333 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 1: So this one time he said, all right, go out 1334 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,519 Speaker 1: in the backyard. This is Amorala, Texas. He said, dig 1335 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,760 Speaker 1: me a hole that's three feet by three feet by 1336 01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,680 Speaker 1: three feet. And it was like nine o'clock at night. 1337 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,599 Speaker 1: I was out there till one o'clock in the morning 1338 01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:34,960 Speaker 1: chopping this hole out. He said, all right, next time 1339 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,360 Speaker 1: it's four feet. Next time it's five feet. And I 1340 01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:40,520 Speaker 1: stopped it. And so I'm trying to be a creative 1341 01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:43,759 Speaker 1: punisher in my house. Listen, I never hit my kids, um, 1342 01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 1: but what I found work. Just take away their stuff. 1343 01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:48,439 Speaker 1: Yeah they got if they got a lot of stuff, 1344 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:52,400 Speaker 1: start taking it away. You take away that electronic whatever, yeah, 1345 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:53,880 Speaker 1: and let me And I used to make them just 1346 01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:56,080 Speaker 1: stay in their room. Yeah, my son would be in 1347 01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,840 Speaker 1: there and I go in an hour ladio okay, oh 1348 01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 1: yeah it's great, Yeah, the hour three.

Meanwhile, what daughter can be in there 1350 01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:10,280 Speaker 1: twelve hours and she's building tens and you know, reading, 1351 01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:12,639 Speaker 1: and we like to go out and shoot BB guns 1352 01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:14,760 Speaker 1: and teach them how to split a split a log 1353 01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,599 Speaker 1: and build a campfire.

So I'm watching this 1375 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 1: eulogy George W. Bush, and I know most people didn't 1376 01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 1: get to see it or hear it because it happened 1377 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:48,680 Speaker 1: like eleven in the morning, and it's so powerful, with 1378 01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:53,360 Speaker 1: so many different levels. It is about honoring a great 1379 01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:58,120 Speaker 1: man who also happens to be your father. And I 1380 01:20:58,160 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 1: just wanted to play some of the highlights of the 1381 01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:03,920 Speaker 1: because it was just well you'll understand as you listen. Well, 1382 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,479 Speaker 1: we have an awful lot of fun too. Always a 1383 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,599 Speaker 1: delight to be in the President's box at the Kennedy Center. 1384 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,200 Speaker 1: Off to a play at the National Theater of the 1385 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:18,400 Speaker 1: Warner with the bushes and outside of the President's box 1386 01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,599 Speaker 1: one evening and there was a massive six foot vase 1387 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,960 Speaker 1: but an extraordinary glaze. I hope you know the difference 1388 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 1: to it in a vase and of oz thirty five bucks. 1389 01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:38,960 Speaker 1: Now George walked up to it and he said, well, wait, 1390 01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:43,600 Speaker 1: I think that's Etruscan. I noticed that, he said, this 1391 01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 1: blue grayish glaze from that period, a play that could 1392 01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 1: only be found during that era. And I said, no, no, George, 1393 01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,679 Speaker 1: the patina there gives me the perception it was possibly older, 1394 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:03,320 Speaker 1: perhaps of Greek origin, with that particular herbal paste. Before firing, 1395 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:10,960 Speaker 1: of of course, people gathered around mumbling about these expert observers, 1396 01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:16,439 Speaker 1: and Barbara and Anne finally came by and said, get 1397 01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:21,040 Speaker 1: out of here, both of you, get back in that box. 1398 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 1: Well we did well. It was impressive for a while. 1399 01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:29,439 Speaker 1: And then, of course, one night the four of us 1400 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:33,519 Speaker 1: one to see Michael Crawford singing the songs of Andrew 1401 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,080 Speaker 1: Lloyd Webber. All four of us were singing as we 1402 01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:40,880 Speaker 1: went back to the White House. Don't cry for me. 1403 01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:46,840 Speaker 1: Argentina then titbits from the fabom of the Opera and 1404 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,680 Speaker 1: other magic of Webber. And a few days later he's 1405 01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:54,479 Speaker 1: getting hammered by the press for some extraordinarily petty bit 1406 01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: of trivia and suddenly he sings out, don't cry for 1407 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 1: me Argent. The press then wrote that he was finally 1408 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:08,679 Speaker 1: losing his marbles. I once heard it set of man 1409 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:14,760 Speaker 1: that the idea is to die young as late as possible. 1410 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,439 Speaker 1: At age eighty five, a favorite pastime of George H. W. 1411 01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:27,799 Speaker 1: Bush was firing up his boat, the Fidelity, and opening 1412 01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:34,320 Speaker 1: up the three horsepower engines to fly joyfully fly across 1413 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,720 Speaker 1: the Atlantic, with the Secret Service boats straining to keep up. 1414 01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:43,640 Speaker 1: At age ninety, George H. W. Bush parachuted out of 1415 01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:47,439 Speaker 1: an aircraft and landed on the grounds of Saint Ann's 1416 01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:51,880 Speaker 1: by the Sea and Kenny Bugport, Maine, the church where 1417 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:57,439 Speaker 1: his mom was married and where he worshiped often. MO 1418 01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 1: would like to say he chose the location just in 1419 01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:09,360 Speaker 1: case the shoot didn't open. In his nineties, he took 1420 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:15,160 Speaker 1: great delight when his closest pal, James A. Baker, smuggled 1421 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:20,280 Speaker 1: a bottle of Gray Goose vodka into his hospital room. 1422 01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,120 Speaker 1: Apparently it paired well with the stake Baker had delivered 1423 01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:29,240 Speaker 1: from Morton's to his very last days. Dad's life was 1424 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,960 Speaker 1: instructive as he aged. He taught us how to grow 1425 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 1: with dignity, humor, and kindness, and when the Good Lord 1426 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:41,240 Speaker 1: finally called, how to meet him with courage and with 1427 01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 1: the joy of the promise of what lies ahead. One 1428 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:47,960 Speaker 1: reason Dad knew how to die young is it he 1429 01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 1: almost did it twice. When he was a teenager, a 1430 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:56,800 Speaker 1: staff infectionarily took his life. A few years later, he 1431 01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:00,599 Speaker 1: was alone in the Pacific on a life raft, praying 1432 01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,599 Speaker 1: that his rescuers would find him before the enemy did. 1433 01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,760 Speaker 1: God answered those prayers, it turned out he had other 1434 01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:13,240 Speaker 1: plans for George H. W. Bush. For Dad's part, I 1435 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,840 Speaker 1: think those brushes with death made him cherish the gift 1436 01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:20,080 Speaker 1: of life, and he vowed to live every day to 1437 01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 1: the fullest. Dad was always busy, a man in constant motion, 1438 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,559 Speaker 1: but never too busy to share his love of life 1439 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,960 Speaker 1: with those around him. He taught us to love the outdoors. 1440 01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:39,240 Speaker 1: He loved watching dogs flush a covey, he loved landing 1441 01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 1: the elusive striper, and once confined to a wheelchair, he 1442 01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:47,719 Speaker 1: seemed happy sitting in his favorite perch on the back 1443 01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,640 Speaker 1: porch at Walker's Point, contemplating the majesty of the Atlantic. 1444 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 1: The horizons he saw were bright and hopeful. He was 1445 01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:03,320 Speaker 1: a genuinely optimistic man and That optimism guided his children 1446 01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:07,160 Speaker 1: and made each of us believe that anything was possible. 1447 01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:13,720 Speaker 1: He continually broadened his horizons with daring decisions. He was 1448 01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:17,599 Speaker 1: a patriot. After high school, he put college on hold 1449 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:20,559 Speaker 1: and became a Navy fighter pilot as World War Two 1450 01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,960 Speaker 1: broke out. Like many of his generation, he never talked 1451 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 1: about his service until his time as a public figure 1452 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:32,960 Speaker 1: forced his hand. We learned of the attack on chi 1453 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:38,280 Speaker 1: Chi Jima, the mission completed, the shootdown, We learned of 1454 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 1: the death of his crewmates, whom he thought about throughout 1455 01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:46,000 Speaker 1: his entire life, and we learned of the rescue. And 1456 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 1: then another audacious decision. He moved his young family from 1457 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 1: the comforts of the East coasts to Odessa Texts. He 1458 01:26:56,280 --> 01:27:00,160 Speaker 1: and Mom adjusted to their arid surroundings quickly. He was 1459 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,679 Speaker 1: a tolerant man, after all. He was kind and neighborly 1460 01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,240 Speaker 1: to the women with whom he Mom and I shared 1461 01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:11,000 Speaker 1: a bathroom and our small duplex, even after he learned 1462 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 1: their profession Ladies of the Night. Dad could relate to 1463 01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:21,519 Speaker 1: people from all walks of life. He was an empathetic man. 1464 01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:26,320 Speaker 1: He valued character over pedigree, and he was no cynic. 1465 01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,200 Speaker 1: He looked for the good and east person, and he 1466 01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:35,080 Speaker 1: usually found it. Dad taught us that public services noble 1467 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:40,639 Speaker 1: and necessary, that one conserved with integrity and hold true 1468 01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:46,040 Speaker 1: to the important values like faith and family. He strongly 1469 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,800 Speaker 1: believed that it was important to give back to the 1470 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:53,800 Speaker 1: community and country in which one lived. He recognized as 1471 01:27:53,800 --> 01:28:00,200 Speaker 1: serving others enriched the giver's soul. To us, his was 1472 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:05,240 Speaker 1: the brightest of a thousand points of light in victory. 1473 01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,719 Speaker 1: He shared credit when he lost his shouldered the blame. 1474 01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:12,720 Speaker 1: He accepted that failure is a part of living a 1475 01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:17,599 Speaker 1: full life, but taught us never to be defined by failure. 1476 01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 1: He showed us how setbacks can strengthened. None of his 1477 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:28,160 Speaker 1: disappointments could compare with one of life's greatest tragedies, the 1478 01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:31,960 Speaker 1: loss of a young child. Jef and I were too 1479 01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 1: young to remember the pain and agony he and Mom 1480 01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:39,160 Speaker 1: felt when our three year old sister died. We only 1481 01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:43,719 Speaker 1: learned later that Dad, a man of quiet faith, prayed 1482 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:47,559 Speaker 1: for her daily. He was sustained by the love of 1483 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:52,720 Speaker 1: the Almighty and the real and enduring love of her Mom. 1484 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 1: Dad always believed that one day he would hug his 1485 01:28:55,360 --> 01:29:02,479 Speaker 1: precious Robin again. He loved to laugh especially at himself. 1486 01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:06,799 Speaker 1: He could tease and needle, but never out of malice. 1487 01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:13,160 Speaker 1: He placed great value on a good joke, so I 1488 01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:25,400 Speaker 1: chose Simpson to speak on email. He had a circle 1489 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,920 Speaker 1: of friends with whom he shared or received the latest jokes. 1490 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,360 Speaker 1: His grading system for the quality of the joke was 1491 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:36,919 Speaker 1: classic George Bush. The rare sevens and eights were considered 1492 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:42,920 Speaker 1: huge winners. Most of him off color. George Bush knew 1493 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:46,120 Speaker 1: how to be a true and loyal friend. He nurtured 1494 01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,559 Speaker 1: and honored many his many friendships with a generous and 1495 01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:55,760 Speaker 1: giving soul. There exists thousands of handwritten notes encouraging or sympathizing, 1496 01:29:55,880 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 1: or thanking his friends and acquaintances. He had an annoy 1497 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,720 Speaker 1: amost capacity to give of himself. Many a person would 1498 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,800 Speaker 1: tell you that Dad became a mentor and a father 1499 01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 1: figure in their life. He listened and he consoled. He 1500 01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:18,080 Speaker 1: was their friend. I think of Don Rhodes, Taylor Blanton, 1501 01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:23,240 Speaker 1: Jim Nance, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and perhaps the unlikeliest of all, 1502 01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:27,760 Speaker 1: the man who defeated him, Bill Clinton. My siblings and 1503 01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,879 Speaker 1: I refer to the guys in this group as brothers 1504 01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:36,080 Speaker 1: from other mothers. He taught us that a day was 1505 01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,479 Speaker 1: not meant to be wasted. He played golf at a 1506 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:44,120 Speaker 1: legendary pace. I always wonder why I insisted on speed golf. 1507 01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 1: He's a good golfer. Well, here's my conclusion. He played 1508 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,439 Speaker 1: fast so that he can move on to the next event, 1509 01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:56,160 Speaker 1: to enjoy the rest of the day, to expend his 1510 01:30:56,320 --> 01:31:01,439 Speaker 1: enormous energy, to live at all. He was born with 1511 01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:09,680 Speaker 1: just two settings, full throttle. Then sleep taught us what 1512 01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:13,120 Speaker 1: it means to be a wonderful father, grandfather, and great grandfather. 1513 01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:17,200 Speaker 1: He was firm in his principles and supportive as we 1514 01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:22,240 Speaker 1: began to seek our own ways. He encouraged and comforted, 1515 01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 1: but never steered. We tested his patience, I know I did, 1516 01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:35,000 Speaker 1: but he always responded with the great gift of unconditional love. 1517 01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:39,160 Speaker 1: Last Friday, when I was told he had minutes to live, 1518 01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:44,600 Speaker 1: I called him. The guy answered the phone said he 1519 01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:47,360 Speaker 1: I think he can hear you, but he hadn't said 1520 01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:51,800 Speaker 1: anything for most of the day. I said, Dad, I 1521 01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:55,200 Speaker 1: love you, and you've been a wonderful father. And the 1522 01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:59,080 Speaker 1: last words he would ever say on earth were I 1523 01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:03,879 Speaker 1: love you too. To us, he was close to perfect, 1524 01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:11,680 Speaker 1: but not totally perfect. His short game was lousy. He 1525 01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:17,160 Speaker 1: wasn't exactly fred Astare on the dance floor. The man 1526 01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:25,320 Speaker 1: couldn't stomach vegetables, especially broccoli. And by the way, he 1527 01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:31,720 Speaker 1: passed these genetic defects along to us. Finally, every day 1528 01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:34,680 Speaker 1: of his seventy three years of marriage, Dad taught us 1529 01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,559 Speaker 1: all what it means to be a great husband. He 1530 01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:41,840 Speaker 1: married a sweetheart. He adored her, He laughed and cried 1531 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:47,320 Speaker 1: with her. He was dedicated to her totally. In his 1532 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:53,599 Speaker 1: old age, Dad enjoyed watching police show reruns volume on high, 1533 01:32:55,640 --> 01:33:01,120 Speaker 1: all the while holdings Mom's hand. After died, Dad was strong, 1534 01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:03,559 Speaker 1: but all he really wanted to do was hold Mom's 1535 01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:08,080 Speaker 1: hand again. Of course, Dad taught me another special lesson. 1536 01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:10,120 Speaker 1: He showed me what it means to be a president 1537 01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:13,040 Speaker 1: who served with integrity, leads with courage, and acts with 1538 01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,479 Speaker 1: love in his heart for the citizens of our country. 1539 01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,960 Speaker 1: When the history books are written, they will say that 1540 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:24,920 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush was a great President of the 1541 01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:30,680 Speaker 1: United States, a diplomat of unmasked skill, a commander in 1542 01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:35,080 Speaker 1: chief of formidable accomplishment, and a gentleman who executed the 1543 01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:40,320 Speaker 1: duties of his office with dignity and honor, and as 1544 01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,120 Speaker 1: an order address, the forty first President of the United 1545 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:47,400 Speaker 1: States said this, We cannot hope only to leave our 1546 01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:51,719 Speaker 1: children a bigger car, a bigger bank account. We must 1547 01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:53,519 Speaker 1: hope to give them a sense of what it means 1548 01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:57,439 Speaker 1: to be a loyal friend, a loving parent, a citizen 1549 01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:00,559 Speaker 1: who leaves his home, his neighborhood, and town better than 1550 01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:03,600 Speaker 1: he found it. What do we want the men and 1551 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:05,680 Speaker 1: women who work with us to save when we are 1552 01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:09,919 Speaker 1: no longer there, that we were more driven to succeed 1553 01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:13,920 Speaker 1: than anyone around us, or that we stopped to ask 1554 01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:17,000 Speaker 1: if a sick child had gotten better and state a 1555 01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:21,080 Speaker 1: moment there to trade a word of friendship. Well, Dad, 1556 01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:24,240 Speaker 1: we're going to remember you for exactly that and much more, 1557 01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:29,080 Speaker 1: and we're gonna miss you. Your decency, sincerity, and kind 1558 01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:33,320 Speaker 1: soul will stay with us forever. So through our tears, 1559 01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:36,639 Speaker 1: let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you, 1560 01:34:37,479 --> 01:34:41,840 Speaker 1: A great and noble man, the best father, a son, 1561 01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 1: and her daughter hit a half, and in our grief 1562 01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:51,120 Speaker 1: by this smile knowing that Dad is hugging Robin and 1563 01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:55,639 Speaker 1: holding Mom's hand again. That was George W. Bush honoring 1564 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,439 Speaker 1: his father. That was the eulogy he gave. Really tough 1565 01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:02,920 Speaker 1: at the end, as he rightly said, the most wonderful things. 1566 01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:05,840 Speaker 1: Only two times in American history has a father and 1567 01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:09,680 Speaker 1: son has a father and son ever been president of 1568 01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 1: the United States. So that was Bush forty three, given 1569 01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:15,679 Speaker 1: a heartfelt euloge as a father. And the second funeral 1570 01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 1: service of George H. W. Bush is underway in Texas, 1571 01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:22,120 Speaker 1: and the President laid to rest today on the grounds 1572 01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:26,160 Speaker 1: of the Presidential Library Museum, where many people.
