Speaker 1: glad to with us. And Wow, we got a lot

33
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: of news today pre dawn raid of Paul Manafort's home.

34
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the biggest mistake Paul Manafort made

35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: in the course of the programs, and it's probably not

36
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: what you think it is, but I'll tell you about that.

37
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: And we've got the latest on North Korea, a lot

38
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: of it's not good. And also today we have other

39
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: breaking news that we are going to get into and

40
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: that the least of which is let me even start

41
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: here with Mitch McConnell. Well, let me start with the

42
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: pre dawn raid, which is something that I'm gonna get

43
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: to in details later in the program. So this is

44
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: the headline recent on my computer, pre dawn FBI conducted

45
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: pre dawn raid of former Trump uh, former Trump campaign

46
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: manager chairman Manaforts home. And when you think of pre

47
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: dawn raid, well that's you know, the raids target. What

48
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: are you thinking, Armed dangerous cops taken in, you know,

49
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: busting down the door, taking control. The entire house is

50
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: swarmed in seconds s guns out blazing, ready to roll

51
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: because the dangerous perpetrator, friend wrote me, this today is

52
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: a sleep in reality. Of course, Manafort had already fully

53
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: cooperated with the FBI, just as with the congressional committees,

54
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: and he was at a congressional committee the day before,

55
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: and if anything, the FBI was thinking. And I have

56
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: great respect for the FBI. I'm not blaming them. They're

57
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: they're doing their job as being ordered. Whatever they're told

58
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: to do, they gotta do it. That's their job. They're

59
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: told to arrest somebody, there's an order to get whatever.

60
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: But Mattafort made a big mistake here, and his big

61
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: mistake is not understanding what the new rules are. And

62
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: there are new rules, and the new rules are very simple.

63
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: He should have deleted subpoena emails like Hillary. He should

64
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: have used bleach bit and acid washed his computers like Hillary.

65
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: He should have taken hammers and smashed all of his

66
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: devices like Hillary. He should have if he gives the

67
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: FBI anything, any devices, he should have given it to

68
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: them without sim cards my hillery, or he should have

69
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: used Debbie wash them and Schoultzer strategy, which is have

70
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: your I T guy who will over build, double build

71
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: and put people on UM on the payroll that had

72
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: no I T experience, and he should have he you know,

73
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: he should have just had him take the government property

74
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: to his house and smashed the hard drives and then

75
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: the amen can come in later and try and put

76
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: the pieces back together, which is extraordinarily hard. So that

77
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: that's not that's the number one mistake that I see

78
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: that Paul Manifort up to this point, and I know

79
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: people rushed to judgment. We have no idea what this

80
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: is about. We really don't, and I really don't think

81
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: it has anything to do. And at the end of

82
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: the day, it's probably not. I'm gonna have nothing to

83
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: do with Russia collusion, Russia collusion, Trump Russia collusion. In

84
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: the end, I don't think it's gonna be anything about that,

85
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: and I think liberals are gonna be very disappointed. Time

86
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: will tell. I think we would have heard a lot more,

87
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: especially with all the leaking that goes on. But if

88
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Paul Manafort would have just taken the Hillary Clinton right

89
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: out of their playbooks, appointed emails, deleted them, and he

90
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: should have made a comment. He should have said, these

91
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: emails are the ones I deleted. Oh, they weren't bad

92
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: at all. I went through them one by one with

93
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: my lawyer. Even though Hillary said it, he never did it.

94
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: And I only wanted the convenience of one device and

95
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: Hillary said it, but that wasn't true. And I deleted

96
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand emails. They had to do with a

97
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: wedding of funeral. And you may not know this, but

98
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: I've been taking yoga classes for years and I email

99
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: my wife, who doesn't have an email account, and that

100
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: would have sufficed for the subpoena emails that he deleted.

101
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: And then the fact that he used acid wash, bleach bit.

102
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, that would have been fine because Hillary did it.

103
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: Hillary got away with it. And if he smashed a

104
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: few devices with a hammer, had an aid or somebody

105
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: do it, well, that wouldn't have mattered either. And if

106
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: he handed over iPhones and blackberries that don't have SIM card,

107
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: that would have been fine too. And I guess the

108
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: reason for the pre dawn raid was because he they

109
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: thought he was going to do all of these things

110
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: within seconds of them coming to the house in the

111
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: pre dawn raid. So um. And of course that's leaked,

112
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: which apparently it happened way way back then, and anyway

113
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: leaked is you know a different ya. How do all

114
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: the when did we ever get to the point when

115
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: that we're leaking to such an unbelievable degree that the

116
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: transcript of the President of the United States of America

117
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: talking to prime ministers and presidents is now leaked. And

118
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: what I've been saying on this program that there there

119
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: are so many obvious crimes that have been committed, felonies

120
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: that have been committed here. There's so many. It's not one,

121
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: it's not two, it's a whole bunch of them. And

122
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm really worried for the for the state of the

123
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: country because you've got all these conflicts of interest. You've

124
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: got a deep state leak a day, including conversations with

125
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: our president and the presidents of other countries Mexico, Prime

126
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: Minister of Australia all leaked. How does the president, how

127
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: does any foreign leader have a conversation with our president

128
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: now without thinking it's going to be leaked. We've got

129
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: more surveillance, more unmasking of political opponents, more leaking of

130
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: intel of political opponents. We've now criminalized all political differences

131
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: here in the case of Democrats, whether it's uranium one

132
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: five million obvious connections, does anybody ever check where the

133
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: money originated from? I'd like to know. Then. I think

134
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: at some point you answer that question and you've got

135
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the uranium one deal. You know

136
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: what a Debbie Wasson and Schulz, Hillary Clinton email server.

137
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: It's illegal to mishandle classified top secret Special Access Program information.

138
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: Five foreign intelligence services got it. All of this goes

139
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: on and nothing happens. Nothing if you're a Democrat, nothing

140
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: happens Hillary Clinton nothing, you know, nothing is getting done

141
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: in the meantime because the deep state leaks of the

142
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: President's time and those around him are spent dealing with

143
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: the daily nonsense of the illegal leaking, intelligence leaking. We're

144
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: watching with the amasking. You know, how, how is it

145
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: possible that Samantha Power, US Ambassador to the United Nations

146
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: is unmasking hundreds and hundreds of people in an election year,

147
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of them related to the Trump campaign?

148
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: For what possible reason would she ever have that power

149
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: and authority? Or Susan Rice or Ben Rhodes or James

150
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Baker now being investigated, the Special Counsel of the FBI

151
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: and James Comey and and everything that he did to

152
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: get his buddy Muller into place, and Mueller's conflicts of interest.

153
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing stinks to high heaven. And

154
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm really frightened at this point for the country. And

155
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm really frightened about the future of the country we

156
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: all love. I'm frightened about our constitution. I'm frightened about

157
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: whether or not we're shredding it. Fourth Amendment protections are

158
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: being you know, just squandered and just gone forget about,

159
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, the idea that you need and you can't

160
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: have unreasonable search and seizure. Just go out and steal

161
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: it and leak it. Just go out and surveil and

162
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: just release it. You know, I'm worried about you know,

163
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: with all the crimes we know committed here, no equal

164
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: justice under the law, Not one person is prosecuted. And

165
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: you keep hearing poor General Flynt. Not only is life

166
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: and Korea ruined, but it all emanates from and all

167
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: it's it's all the foundational discussion of it begins with

168
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: a leak that was illegal and a crime that was committed.

169
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: I'm frightened at this point for our country. And I'm

170
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something, God help this country, God help

171
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: the world. If the United States of America is not strong, honorable, true,

172
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: it's um it's really sad to me, it really is. Anyway,

173
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: one Shawn, Now, I want to play something for you,

174
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: and that's Mitch McConnell. But before I do, I want

175
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: to read it to you, and I want to just

176
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: put this in context because I am so livid. Literally,

177
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm feeling the emotions rise from deep down in my

178
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: solar plexus. I mean, it's just irritating me because for

179
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: seven long years now, Republicans have said repeal, replaced, repeal, replaced,

180
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: repeal replaced. We're gonna be ready to give us the House,

181
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: give us the Senate, give us the White House. We'll

182
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: get it done. We'll get it done. We'll get it done.

183
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: So eight months in when McConnell gets back from his

184
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: latest vacation, with about twenty five days on the legislative calendar,

185
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: or thirty days on the legislative calendar, when he finally

186
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: gets back from his vacation, Now we got to deal

187
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: with the debt ceiling. I haven't even touched the president's

188
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: economic plan to get Americans, the forgotten men and women

189
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: back to work, that desperately need jobs, in poverty, on

190
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: food stamps, that can't buy a house, forget them that

191
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: nothing happens for him, and he can't keep even John

192
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: McCain in line, and can't say, John McCain, you don't

193
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: keep your promise here that we all made. And you're

194
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna hold the whole party hostage even over a week

195
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: skinny repeal or a skinny you know, dumbed down if

196
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: you will version of repeal and replace. You can't do that,

197
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: then everyone's gonna suffer politically because of your actions I'm

198
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: taking away your chairmanship. I'm sorry you're not feeling well.

199
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm taking away your chairmanship, Lisa Murkowski, taking away your championship.

200
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: But you've got a guy that is so lacking and

201
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: being engaged, so ill prepared for the moment to lead.

202
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: And this is the worst party goes out. I know

203
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: everybody saying that, you know, we've been here and we

204
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: haven't done anything, which I'm I find extremely irritating. This

205
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: is Mitch McConnell, and I'm gonna tell you why I'm irritated.

206
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: A Congress goes on for two years. Part of the

207
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: reason I think the storyline is that we haven't done

208
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: much is because, in part he goes on to blame Trump,

209
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: the President and others have set early timelines about things

210
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: need to be done by a certain point. Really, we're

211
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: we're over we're over reaching here. The seven and a

212
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: half year promise can't be done in eight months now

213
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: going on nine months, And then by the time even

214
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: had a vote on it, it ended up being not

215
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: You didn't talk about health care savings accounts. They never

216
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: talked about these cooperatives I've been telling you about. They

217
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: offered no unique, really great solutions that could inspire the

218
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: American people at all. Then McConnell goes on, Now our

219
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: president has, of course not but in this line of

220
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: work before so insulting. I view that as a huge plus.

221
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: I think had excessive expectations because he expected a seven

222
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: and a half year promised to be done in eight months.

223
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: About how quickly things happened in the democratic process. Wow,

224
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: he needs to go so bad. He needs to go

225
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: so Part of the reason I think, people, you you

226
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: little people, I feel like we are under performing is

227
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: because of too many artificial deadlines, unrelated to the reality

228
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: and the complexity of the legislative process. It may not

229
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: be understood by you mere mortals, and of course our

230
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: political adversaries would love to say that any time not

231
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: fully understood, as either mumbles. So what I'm asking you

232
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: is to judge this Congress when I finished us, how

233
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: much have we done to make America competitive again and

234
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: grow again? And and that's part of making you know

235
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: what he's not realizing. You know what, Senator, You're not

236
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: one of the Americans and poverty are you? You're not

237
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: one of the the six and a half million that

238
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: decide to pay the fine instead of get Obamacare. You're

239
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: not one of the millions because you get your health

240
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: care that had to pay eight thousand dollars on average

241
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: premium increases. You don't live in Arizona with a hundred

242
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: and sixtcent increased last year, or alone on average thirty

243
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: percent around the country. You know what, Senator, You've never

244
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: worked in the real world, have you, because that's not

245
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: how business gets done. And you just sound like you've

246
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: lived in the swamp your entire life, and it sounds pathetic.

247
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: It really does, Senator McConnell, with all due respect, you

248
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: need to retire. We need somebody with a sense of

249
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: urgency and vision and passion to keep the basic simple promises.

250
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Somebody that can motivate and inspire their caucus to keep

251
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: their word. So pathetic, hey, with optimism once again on

252
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: the rise in America. The working people of this country

253
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: are more important than ever on the job from Hired

254
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: to Retired. Also new podcasts from our friends that express

255
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: employment professionals that digs into the lives of men and

256
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: women at work and explores their journeys as they fight

257
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: to make the American dream of reality. I'll check out

258
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: the new podcast on the job from high to retired

259
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: on I Heart Radio, iTunes or wherever you download your

260
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: favorite podcasts, or just go to Express pros dot com

261
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: slash podcast for more information. I'm gonna ask for sure, Evans,

262
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: but I know everybody's saying we've been there, I haven't

263
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: done anything, which I find extremely irritating. And I'm gonna

264
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: tell you why. Commress goes on for two years. And

265
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: part of the reason I think that the storyline is

266
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: that we haven't done much is because in part of

267
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: the President and others have set these early kindlines about

268
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: things need to be done by a certain point now

269
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: our new president. Of course, I've been in this line

270
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: of work before, and I think that excessive in expectations

271
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: about how quickly things happened in the Democratic profits. And

272
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: so part of the reason I think people feel like

273
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: we're under under performing isn't because too many kind of

274
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: artificial deadlines on unrelated from the reality of the complexity.

275
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: UH legislator may not have been fully understood in of

276
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: course our political adversaries, and he loves love to say

277
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: that anytime. So what I'm asking of you is to

278
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: judge this conference planet finishes, how much have we done

279
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: to make America competitive again and to grow again. And

280
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: that's part of America again. Least is what the president

281
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: off about so much. I don't know how that makes

282
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: all of you feel. You know what it is beyond

283
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: anything else. It's a letdown. It's a disappointment, it's a frustration.

284
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: It's a there's a certain shock to the system that

285
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: they really can't be that week, that visionless and that bad.

286
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: You know. I keep saying, the difference between Donald Trump

287
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: and the Republican Party is this, and and the President

288
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: went out there hard, and he fired back at McConnell's

289
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: complaint here and he literally really high expectations, excesses expectations.

290
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: After seven years, repeal and replaced. Why isn't it done?

291
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: This president has an identity, he has an agenda. He's

292
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: fighting for it every day. It's not he hasn't varied

293
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: in his agenda. He says he's ready to sign it.

294
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: He wants to keep his promises on everything else. He

295
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: doesn't need help on. He's keeping them. Republicans don't what

296
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: a colossal failure and disappointment holding them accountable. Sean gets

297
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: the answers no one else is America deserves and know

298
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: the truth about Congress alright to the top of the hour,

299
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: seawn our number. You want to be a part of

300
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: the program. Is it really you know, it's really funny

301
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: that there are so many people that just don't get

302
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: me and don't get you, and don't get the country,

303
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: and don't get the election and don't get the election results.

304
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: They just don't get it. It's almost been a mass

305
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: psychotic emotional breakdown collectively. It was something that was written

306
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: on It wasn't Victor Davis Hansen. It was somebody today,

307
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: and it was basically like the EVA educated elites and

308
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: they're they're you know, they just are fixated on Trump

309
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: and Trump and Trump and Trump and Trump. And it's

310
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: a certain extent, it's all true, and it's all right,

311
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: and they think I'll give them the best motivation. I

312
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: think they think they're right, and they just can't see

313
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: the forest through the trees anymore. And it is that

314
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: there's nothing Donald Trump can't do anything right in their minds,

315
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: and those that support them can't do anything right in

316
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: their minds, and everybody's motives are deep and dark and

317
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: nefarious and wrong. They just don't understand us, and I

318
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: don't think they want to understand us, and I don't

319
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: think they ever will understand us. You know, I think

320
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: this goes to the heart of the deep, deep desire

321
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: by the left to silence conservatives. It's this is now

322
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: bordering on a psychotic meltdown on their part, but it's

323
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: real and it's something we have to we obviously take seriously.

324
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: But as I look at this something and do you

325
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: not understand you had eight years of Obama, you had

326
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: everything you wanted, you got Egot Obamacare. Do you not

327
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: see the premium increases? Do you not see this a

328
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: story today? Six and a half million Americans. I would

329
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: rather pay the fine then get on that crappy service.

330
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: Millions lose their care, millions lose their doctor. You have

331
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: X number of percentage of counties in the country. They

332
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: have one plan to choose from. We're already looking at

333
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: projections for eighteen and again another thirty increase over eight

334
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on average, six to eight thousand dollars depending

335
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: on where you live. Interestingly, the states that subsidize the most,

336
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: like New York, are one of the lower premium increased states.

337
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: Arizona hundred six. That's what just I'm so shocked. John

338
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: McCain just doesn't seem to care. And I'm looking at it,

339
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, thirteen million more Americans on food stamps

340
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: under Obama's policies, eight million more in poverty under Obama's policies,

341
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: Lowest labor participation rate in the seventies under Obama's policies,

342
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, lowest home ownership rate in fifty one years

343
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: Obama's policies. And then you've got what else. We got

344
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: the worst recovery since the forties Obama's policies, A doubling

345
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: of the national debt. So much for nine trillion being

346
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: irresponsible and I'm patriotic. So they've had all of this

347
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: time to fix it with, with the greatest hope and

348
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: expectations and the belief, the lofty rhetoric, the crowds, the chanting,

349
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: the words, got everybody stoked. Um, it would have been

350
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: great if all if it worked. Socialism never works, redistribution

351
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: never works, government regulation stifles industry. You know, the best

352
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: thing Donald Trump has done to date, among many others,

353
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: fixing the the v A among them, and and a

354
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: few other things, is that he's gotten rid of burdens

355
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: some regulation, and Donald Trump is you know, every thing

356
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: else that he's able to do by himself, and you

357
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: just have to wonder and worry and think, what part

358
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: of this is helping the men and women in this

359
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: country and poverty? What part of this is helping the

360
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: men and women in this country on food stamps? What

361
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: part of this is helping create a ladder of success

362
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: for people? What part of the liberal agenda of hatred

363
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: towards Donald Trump is helping a single human being? Is

364
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: there one thing besides a bumper sticker that they probably spent,

365
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars focus grouping a

366
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: better way or this better way or a better better way,

367
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is. It's a platitude, A bumper sticker, a

368
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: slogan doesn't mean anything to people. You're not even willing

369
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: to work with the president because you hate the president.

370
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Liberals are supposed to be caring about those that are

371
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: not doing as well. Why aren't they looking for solutions

372
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: to help those men and women that are forgotten? Those

373
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: men and women. I mean, when you have fifty million

374
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: in poverty, fifty million on food stamps, so many people

375
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: out of the labor force, we don't count them in

376
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: the unemployment number, and you got all these people suffering,

377
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I know it's not a big deal

378
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: to you know, these these think tanks are people that

379
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: are out there spreading their political hatred, but they even

380
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: care about people that lost their doctor and their plan.

381
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: And it was the biggest lie I ever told you.

382
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: Guys ever cared about that? You say you do? Do

383
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: you care about the life of men and women that

384
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: are suffering? Do you know? Have you thought about the

385
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: benefits of America being energy independent, of America not having

386
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: to count on countries that hate our guts for the

387
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: lifeblood of our economy. Have you thought about the the

388
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: security aspects of that. Have you thought about America the

389
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands, millions of potential jobs in the energy

390
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: industry as we become energy into ended, good paying career

391
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: jobs for people in America now using its resources for

392
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: the betterment of its people. Have you thought about the

393
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: benefits of any of that and how we could pay

394
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: down debt and and and stop robbing our kids and

395
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: ring kids. Have you thought about keeping America safe open borders?

396
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: How does that keep Americans safe? How does it keep

397
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: America safe? Not to identify who our enemies are that

398
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: want to blow us in the smithereens to the point

399
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: they'll put strap bombs on their own children. You know,

400
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: I it's it's mine numbing to me that And and

401
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: this goes back to Mitch McConnell. Uh. You know, I

402
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: I can just look at this statement to him, and

403
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Wow, you are so swamped in. You are

404
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: such the swamp creature. And I'm like stunned at it all.

405
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: And I just I can't believe that. You know, everybody's

406
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: been saying, we've been here, we haven't done anything. I

407
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: find the irritating. Oh, I'm sorry you're irritated that we

408
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: see that you take too many vacations. You guys are lazy,

409
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: You have no sense of urgency. You don't seem to

410
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: care about the American people. You can't get a simple

411
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: job done. You have no control over your caucus. Even

412
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham said, yeah, I think that Trump's right on

413
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, I think after seven and a half years,

414
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: we don't have excuses. Even I like Mitch, but for

415
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: eight years we've been saying we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare.

416
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: It's not like we made this up overnight, said this

417
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: to my buddy Bryan Kilmead. We've been working on repealing

418
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: Obamacare all year, talking about this and their inability to

419
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: get it done. The idea put forward didn't pass. It

420
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: was in many ways ill conceived, an ill conceived idea.

421
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: I'm not moving on. I'm not giving up. President Trump's

422
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: not giving up. There's no way to sugarcoat this. The

423
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: Republican Party promised for a years to repeal and replace Obamacare.

424
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: We failed, and if we give up, shame on us.

425
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Right for now, Lindsay Graham's got his own bill. It's

426
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: not totally ill conceived. The idea is to give it

427
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: back to the to the states, and the idea is

428
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: that the states could do a better job, and I

429
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: actually agree with that. The problem is that they're gonna

430
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: keep all the Obamacare taxes and they're gonna end up

431
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: funding into such a ridiculous degree that it's just another

432
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: entitlement that's gonna bankrupt bankrupt us. It's very frustrating. Anyway,

433
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: let me move on. I spent a lot of time yesterday.

434
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I have a whole lot to add,

435
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: except that you know, you gotta understand something about this

436
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: North Korea situation. You know, a friend of mine wrote

437
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: me last night. We're having a long discussion and going

438
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: off on my argument that I don't think there are

439
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: any good options here, and there really aren't. And if

440
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: you love human life and you believe in human life,

441
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: and I do, and I think we're all God's creatures

442
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: and in many senses, and the human experience is one

443
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: of good and evil. And there's been a lot of

444
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: evil in the world, and a hundred million human souls destroyed,

445
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: as I mentioned yesterday, and the last hundred years alone,

446
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: fascism and imperial Japan and Nazism and you know, the

447
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: killing fields and radical Islamis. I mean, it just goes on.

448
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: But you're talking about perhaps tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands,

449
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: maybe in the millions, in the worse, in a in

450
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: a scenario that could actually unfold in our lifetime. That

451
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: to me, is not a game. It would be a

452
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: tragedy beyond anything mankind of seat. But we don't have

453
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: any options here, you know. And people are criticizing Donald

454
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: Trump because he said fire fury, the likes of which

455
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: the world has never seen before. Well, how else do

456
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: you deal with the fact that a maniac, I mean

457
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: John McCain was actually making the argument, Oh, Donald Trump,

458
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if this language is good. We've got

459
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: to be careful because it may piss him off, Like

460
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: may piss him off. You mean, words are gonna send

461
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: this guy over the cliff, and Donald trumpet to watch

462
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: his words. Well, that's what the peaceman has done. Diane

463
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: finds this is bombastic. It's only going to isolate him. Well,

464
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: that's the position Bill Clinton put us in by trying

465
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: to bribe his way or bribe the North Koreans not

466
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: to getting nuclear weapons. Of course they took the money,

467
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: and of course they lied, and now they have them.

468
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: And so now you've got a rogue mad regime with

469
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: all the hatred that Kim Jong un happens to have

470
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: towards the West, and we don't have sufficient missile defense

471
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: at this point after the Obama year. Is just a fact,

472
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: not a political commentary that he cut back on. You know,

473
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: new Engrich was talking last night about the need for redundancy.

474
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: When he talks about redundancy, saying, if they launch a

475
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: nuke towards the United States New York City, they launched

476
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: a new towards Boston or anywhere in the continental US,

477
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: or Guam, or Japan or China. You know, we better

478
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: be ready, do you know that? If three nukes literally

479
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: three nukes, And remember, he hates the US like no

480
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: other country has been. He's been born and indoctrinated into

481
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: hating the US, this whole family has. They haven't gotten

482
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: over the United States involvement in Korea years ago. You

483
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: have three nukes explode in the atmosphere above the US

484
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: don't even touch grown and the resulting e MP poles

485
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: would destroy every bit of electronics, destroy the power grid.

486
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: It would be down for months, maybe years, and potentially

487
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: millions of people could die. Hannity, what are you talking.

488
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: You're scaring people. No, that's what apparently Brian Williams Lyon,

489
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: Brian wants to do it MSNBC. So I guess that

490
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: John McCann and Diane Feinstein aren't gonna of like what

491
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: mad Dog Mattis said today any more than they like

492
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: what President Rump said yesterday, and he was talking about Korea.

493
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: They better choose to stop isolating themselves, stand down in

494
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: pursuit of the nuclear weapons. He said they should cease

495
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: any consideration of actions that would lead to the end

496
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: of its regime and the destruction of its people. The

497
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: United States and our allies have demonstrated the capabilities and

498
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: unquestionable commitment to defend ourselves from any attack, our state

499
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: departments making every effort to resolve this global threat through

500
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: diplomatic means. It must be noted that the combined Allied

501
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: militaries what we now possess the most precise, prob sorry, precise, precise,

502
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: got it, rehearsed, robust defense of and offensive capabilities on Earth.

503
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: Both Korea's regime's actions will continue to be grossly overmatched

504
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: by ours. He's right, But if you have to do it,

505
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: even if you had a coalition of the willing, including China,

506
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: and even if it was including one other Ussia, Israel,

507
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: Western Europe, and we could absolutely take them out. But

508
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: here's the problem. You're gonna incinerate North Korea and God

509
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: only has to worry about and not even if you

510
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: use nukes, you can incinerate them. And then if the

511
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: nukes explode that they have, oh God help the nuclear fallout.

512
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna impact people for generations. This isn't a game.

513
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 1: Real lives, real people, real destruction, real death. One hundred

514
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: million people died because of war and evil in the

515
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 1: last hundred years, and yes, it can happen again. At

516
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: that point, it doesn't really matter if you're a liberal

517
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: or conservative does it or a Democrat or a Republican

518
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: does it? Because it's going to impact your life, and

519
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: it's going to impact your family, and it's gonna change

520
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: the world forever. It's pretty pretty chilling and pretty frightening.

521
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: You see the Trump paters coming out of the woodwork

522
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: as this North Korea crisis heads. I'm glad to see

523
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: everybody really jumping on board when the country is in

524
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: a crisis. Top CNN Pundit warn Democrats are in complete

525
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: this array. Yeah, we know that. We'll get to all

526
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: this today, alright, eight nine one Sean. We'll talk about

527
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: our options in the next hour. Also the other news

528
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: of the day. We'll have some fun later in the program.

529
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: Katie Hopkins is back and much much more. Eight nine

530
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: one Sean. You want to be a part of the program.

531
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: Trying to be I'm just trying to be realistic. You know,

532
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: you have to. There's a biblical saying you shall know

533
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: the truth and the truth will set you free. And

534
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: the truth is the world is dangerous. The truth is

535
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: there is evil in the world. The truth is human

536
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: history has proven a lot of darkness and a lot

537
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: of depth, and a lot of pain, and a lot

538
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: of misery, and also and a lot of human suffering.

539
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: And then it's also shown points of brilliance and heroism

540
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: and greatness and goodness. It's it's part of this human

541
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: experience that I don't think we'll know the complete answer

542
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 1: to until you know, one day we head on home,

543
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: all right, we all all the news of the day,

544
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: much more straight ahead in your calls. Best not make

545
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: any more threats to the United States. They will be

546
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.

547
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: He has been very threatening, beyond a normal state. And

548
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: as I said, they will be met with fire, fury,

549
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 1: and frankly power the likes of which this world has

550
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: never seen before. Thank you. I'm usually one who puts

551
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: a lot of blame on Trump. Look there, there have

552
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: been three previous presidents that have negotiated with North Korea,

553
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: and every time I said, okay, we've got it settled,

554
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: we're all friends now, et cetera. And obviously we were not.

555
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: I take exception to the President's comments, because you've got

556
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: to be sure that you can do what you say

557
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: you're going to do. In other words, the old walks

558
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: softly but carry a big stick. Teddy Roosevelt's saying, which

559
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: I think is something that should have applied, because all

560
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna do is bring us closer to some kind

561
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: of serious confrontation. I think this is very, very, very serious,

562
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 1: and I think that the rotun ruler in Pyongyang, he's

563
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: not crazy, but he certainly is ready to go to

564
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: the brink. I see saying that he's gonna new North Korea.

565
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's saying, and I have long

566
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: ago given up trying to interpret interpret what he says.

567
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: But what he's saying is obviously fire and fury. But

568
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: what about Soul? What about South Korea? What about Kim

569
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: Jong Hoon's capability to really inflex inflict serious damage on

570
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: South Korea? So all I can say is that I

571
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: don't believe that President Reagan or President Eisenhower or other

572
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: presidents that I've admired would have said the same thing.

573
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: They might have done as much as we could, but

574
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: not that kind of rhetoric. I'm not sure how it helps, Okay,

575
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: but the three previous presidents, especially in the case of

576
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, that gave him billions of dollars and energy aid,

577
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: and and he told the American people, we just made

578
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: a good deal for the American people. World is safer

579
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: and they're not unlikely now to get nuclear weapons. And

580
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: then blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, a lot of talking.

581
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, if Donald Trump's words can push

582
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: this guy over the edge, He's already over the edge.

583
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: The words of an individual camp push you. You know what,

584
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump so pissed me off, I'm gonna fire nuclear weapons. Unbelievable.

585
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: John McCain sadly has just decided he's gonna go all

586
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: in angry anti Trump, and he wants no success for

587
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: this president at all. And it's obvious where he's coming from.

588
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: So what is the strategic plan on all of this? Anyway,

589
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: Harry Kasianus is with those Director of Defense Studies at

590
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: the Center for National Interests. He joins the show today

591
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 1: along with Jonathan Gillham, host of the Expert's former Navy

592
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: c l FBI agent Federal Air Marshal Harry let's start

593
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: with you and ask you. I don't see a lot

594
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: of good options here. And the best option would be

595
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: if somebody was already some type of spy in a

596
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: position to take him out. I assume that would have

597
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: happened by now too. Then you have even the best

598
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: case scenario, a coalition of the willing, including even China, Russia.

599
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: Let's say our Western European allies Israel, and you you

600
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: take out the nuclear sites number one that would incinerate

601
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: the entire country of No Korea, may impact South Korea

602
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: depending on the winds, and you risk nuclear fallout. And

603
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: on top of that, then you risk if you don't

604
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: do a fast enough this lunatic that couldn't get so

605
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: angry at Donald Trump's words, he may start a nuclear war.

606
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: Um that same guy would launch in the South Korea, Guam, Japan,

607
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: or even China. What do we do, Sean? What's gonna

608
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: be with you? Two things I'd offer right off the bat.

609
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: The first thing that we have to do above all

610
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: l else, Sean is I'm so tired here sitting in Washington,

611
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: d C. Two blocks from the White House, and people

612
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: still have the goal to say that we still have

613
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: more time that North Korea doesn't have nuclear weapons or

614
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: they can't hit the United States. The fact of the

615
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: matter is Seawan. That Washington Post article yesterday was devastating,

616
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: and it shows that the North Koreans have the technological

617
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: capabilities to hit the United States. They might have been

618
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: missing a couple of technical opponents here there, but we

619
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: have to assume from here on and they have that

620
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: capability because if we don't, every couple of days, people

621
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: are just gonna keep saying we can kick the can

622
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: down the road a little bit longer, a little bit longer,

623
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: and this situation is going to get worse. That's the

624
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: first thing. The second thing I'd offer is, look, we

625
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of great options. As you laid out,

626
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: any of those options were talking about millions of people dead,

627
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody wants that to happen. But

628
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: our best option right now is a very simple one.

629
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: China has has signed on to eight United Nations Security

630
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: Council resolutions, including one last weekend. It is time for

631
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: Beijing to actually step up and prove that it is

632
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: not an international pariah and actually enforce the sanctions, because

633
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: if they did that, that would take the billions of

634
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: dollars away from King Jong Un to develop the next

635
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: generation of nuclear weapons, which is a hydrogen bomb and

636
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: a three stage I CBM that could actually hit all

637
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: of the United States. Now, those aren't perfect options, but

638
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: that at least sets the stage for the president to

639
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: act boldly and swiftly to at least contain this problem.

640
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: What do you think, Jonathan Gillum? Do you agree that

641
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: millions can die here? That's my greatest fear. No. I mean,

642
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: it's obvious that millions could die, especially in Soul Korea,

643
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: where there's twenty seven seven million people thirty miles from

644
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: UH the border with North Korea. There's no doubt that

645
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: this is something Sean that's been It's not a problem

646
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: that's just risen, you know immediately. This is something that's

647
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: been going for over fifty years that many predecess. But

648
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: the problem, Johnathan, I don't mean to interrupted, but when Obama,

649
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: when Trump came into office, he was told by Obama,

650
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,479
Speaker 1: according to reports, that he was four or five years

651
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: away from this problem, and now it's upon us, you know,

652
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: within eight months of his presidency. Well, it's been one

653
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: failure after another with these different individuals in the see

654
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: the president. I mean John McCain sitting there criticizing the president.

655
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: But John McCain, this problem has been going on in

656
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: slowly escalating. It is the same John McCain, the chanted

657
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: bom bom bom bom bomb Iran not the same guy,

658
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: same guy, And you know he just is taking swipes

659
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 1: it at the president that And you know, I think, Sean,

660
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: here's here's the thing along with the what your other

661
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: guests were just saying there about um the sanctions and

662
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: gets a name, you know, Jonathan, you don't have to

663
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: name is Harry. You could say Harry I thought hard

664
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: to remember and forget his last name. Nobody can say it, No,

665
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: nobody can. But going on with Harry's um comments there

666
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: about the sanctions and getting China involved, I absolutely agree

667
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: with that. I do think though, that we need to

668
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: consider tactical option as well, And one thing I would

669
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: definitely look at is especially in the case of Soul Korea,

670
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: who has um politicians there that have thrown curveballs as

671
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: well with defensive measures to stop missiles. But I would

672
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: definitely look at the type of armament that they have

673
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: that where they could immediately start lobbying munitions over into

674
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: into Soul Korea, And I would uh completely demolish that

675
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: portion of from the border over um to eliminate Agree

676
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: with me that the only way to really stop him. Look,

677
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: I guess we could live with mutually a short destruction.

678
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: I guess that's an option. And and we certainly knew.

679
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: Gingrich was pointing out that a space based missile defense

680
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: program that gave you a redundancy of twenty or thirty

681
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: or forty shots had taken that sucker out is key.

682
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in missile defense. Are are thad

683
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: anti ballistic missile system works well? But if you missed

684
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: the shot, you missed the second shot sounds like you know,

685
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: we could potentially get hit in New York or Boston.

686
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: That's not That's not enough redundancy for my safety and

687
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: security and peace of mind. Ultimately, if you take the

688
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: head off of the snake, that would probably cause the

689
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: most destruction UM that you possibly could if you actually

690
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: assassinated Kim Jong un and uh and although he had,

691
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: but what but the thing is, it's almost impossible to

692
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: get into that country. Now, I would assume that maybe

693
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: the massad has somebody in there. I mean, I trust

694
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: the Israeli is more than anybody when it comes to

695
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: this type of warfare because of the conditions that they

696
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: live under. But North Korea has not exactly been their

697
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: focus and their main threat right when it when it

698
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: comes to warfare, Sean, one thing we've definitely proven over

699
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: as since World War Two is that if you don't

700
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: um fully think through the tactical options that you have

701
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: and be prepared to make the first move, chances are

702
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: you're either gonna lose or you're going to create a

703
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: vacuum somewhere. So we need to consider these options. I

704
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: will tell you having maddest back the President's spectacular, because

705
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: that sent a message of strength that even John McCain

706
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: can't can't bolster, can't stop. What is your reaction to that?

707
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: And how quickly do you think we could put together

708
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: a missile defense system with the redundant say that new

709
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: Gingridge was talking about, Harry, Well, you know, Sean, I

710
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: think it would take a number of years. It would

711
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: probably cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and Frank Frankly, look,

712
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money, but it's something we should

713
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: have done starting back in the the nineteen eighties, you know,

714
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: under Ronald Reagan. But as you know, as Reagan left

715
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: office and it went to George W. Bush one and

716
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: then to Bill Clinton. You know, the memory of the

717
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: Soviet menace sort of fading away, and we went to

718
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: this whole unipolar moment where we thought we're basically o

719
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: nipotent and we forgot about these threats. We're basically having

720
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: to relearn history all over again, and that's really the challenge. Now.

721
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: I just want to jump back over to John's point

722
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: talking about some of these tactical options, because he's spot on.

723
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: We have to think about what happens if we're in

724
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: some sort of you know, day one military confrontation. But

725
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: I want to offer another point that I think is

726
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: very important here, and it gets lost in the mix

727
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: of all this. We need to keep in mind our

728
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. Because keep in mind, the

729
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: United States is very good sean at winning wars. We

730
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: have the most powerful military on the planet. We have

731
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: be two stealth bombers, we we have nuclear weapons, we

732
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: have all this great stuff. We can win the war,

733
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: but what happens after the war. Keep this in mind,

734
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: it would cost trillions of dollars to rebuild North Korea.

735
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: And we're not even just talking about the financials here

736
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: things trying to do it. It's their region of the world. One,

737
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: Why do we have to always get involved because I'm

738
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: not I'm not talking aboututting up the money. Oh no, no,

739
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm not even going there. But just

740
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: think about how that would have to be reorganized. South

741
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: Korea's got a lot of money to do that, so

742
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm not so concerned about that. But think about as

743
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: well about if that went nuclear in all the amount

744
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,959
Speaker 1: of redo active fallout that would be all through Asia.

745
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: You're you're talking about millions of more people dying. And

746
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: then thinking about just trying to reintegrate the North Korean

747
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: society with South Korea. How would the Chinese respond if

748
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: you have a united Korea? Because I will tell you, Sean,

749
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 1: I've talked to Chinese officials, that is their greatest fear.

750
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: So the danger of all this is we're opening the

751
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: ultimate Pandora's box. They uh, stay stay with the Pandora

752
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: Boxer show. We we got to take a break, we'll

753
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: come back, We'll continue, and also we'll get to your

754
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: calls coming up as well in the next hour. I

755
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: promise you a hundred nying for one Sean. All right,

756
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: as we continue with Harry Kasi Honese is with us

757
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: and also Jonathan Gillham, and we left off at a point, Harry,

758
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: I want to get you a chance to to talk

759
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: about that, and we'll talk about options, Pandora's box and

760
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: what don't we open up here with North Korea? Sure,

761
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean, basically the point is this. This is why

762
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: every administration going back from really like the nineteen fifties

763
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: till the end of the Korean War until the present

764
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: day always made the North Korean issue that the fourth

765
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: sif there's sixth biggest problems because it's so hard to

766
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: to to actually wrap your head around. And I have

767
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: to give the President a lot of credit to make

768
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: this his number one foreign policy challenge. That takes guts,

769
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, because walking into it, there

770
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: is no easy solutions. So no matter what part of

771
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,479
Speaker 1: the aisle you're on, you have to give him credit

772
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: for that. We do agree with that, Jonathan Gillham absolutely,

773
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,439
Speaker 1: and in fact I agreed with everything that Harry said

774
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: so far, with the exception of one thing America, as

775
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: we know it is great at fighting wars, but we

776
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: are not good at winning wars, because in order to

777
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: win the war, we to complete the fight. And for

778
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, this president and

779
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: his Secretary Defense, it doesn't sound like this is gonna

780
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: be a long war. Though it sounds like it's gonna

781
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 1: be over. It sounds like the type of weapons America

782
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: will have to use. But considering the weaponry that Kim

783
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: Jong un has a North Korea has, that this has

784
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 1: to be a war that ends quickly. There doesn't seem

785
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: to be an option. And that's correct and the but

786
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 1: the first thing you have to do in these cases

787
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: is named the enemy and and set the parameters for

788
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: the reality of what we're actually looking at. That's what

789
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: this president has done. I have not seen this from

790
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: a president since Reagan. Well I haven't either, But I mean,

791
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: I guess the fear that I have the greatest fear

792
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: that I have. And and you know, there was somebody

793
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: on TV I guess last night or this morning, I

794
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: don't even remember because I was just half asleep, you know,

795
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: saying Oh, this isn't gonna happen. You guys are go

796
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 1: over reacting, and I'm like, really, I don't think so,

797
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: what's so funny about a madman having nuclear weapons? Harry that,

798
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, And then then Diane Einstein, this is bombastic,

799
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: Ricka the president fire fury like the world has never

800
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: seen before. And this will further isolate Kim Jong un.

801
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,439
Speaker 1: It's like McCain's suggesting that Donald Trump's words will set

802
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: him over the edge'll tip him over the tipping point.

803
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: If you're that close to insanity, you are already there.

804
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: You know. The challenge with this is something I've encountered

805
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: here in Washington, is that people continually try to put

806
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: their viewpoint onto Donald Trump. That Look, let's be honest.

807
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a very different type of president than

808
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 1: we've we've had in a long time. He was never

809
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: a governor, he's never a senator, he was never a

810
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: vice president, he was never elected to office. The way

811
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: he speaks to the American people and quite frankly, to

812
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: the world is very different than everybody else. So if

813
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: we're going to apply this whatever this presidential logic, and

814
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: and maybe apply to how Barack Obama spoke to the

815
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: world of the American people, it's completely different. You know,

816
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: I take the president's comments yesterday about fire and power

817
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. It's very clear what he said.

818
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 1: You don't need a PhD from Prince and to figure

819
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: it out. He's telling Kim chongon look, if you fire

820
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon at the United States or one of

821
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: our allies or Guam or whatever, you're signing your own

822
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: death warrant. Now. I was able to figure that out

823
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: pretty easily. My wife, who is who is not an

824
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: international relations expert, was able to figure that out pretty easily.

825
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: But of course the media has to blow it up

826
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: and make a big controversy over it. That that does

827
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: not serve anybody. If you don't like the president, that's fine,

828
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: that's your right to do that. But al right, Harry,

829
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Great job. And Jonathan, you were

830
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,959
Speaker 1: just okay, you could have been nicer to our guests,

831
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: but we really appreciate you being with us. I mean,

832
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: you even guest toast here. Maybe I'll have that. Let

833
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: Harry fill in, because I thought you'd be nicer to

834
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: our you know, our fellow guests, some southern so it's

835
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: hard for me to Yeah, that's all right, Jonathan gil

836
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: knows I can give him a run for his money

837
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: in spite of Oh, I gotta show you some tapes

838
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: I got from today. You use him blade and firearm

839
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: training today. Today you're gonna like it one, Seawn told

840
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: re telephone number. Well, that's some fun. That gonna be one.

841
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: And with all this talk at nuclear war, I just

842
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: need a five minute break in a smile. That's next.

843
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: You had to sign and order authorizing the appointment of

844
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: a special Counsel, and you said that he was authorized

845
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: to investigate any coordination with Russia. And I want to

846
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: put these words on the screen any matters that arose

847
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: or may arise directly from the investigation. My question is,

848
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: does that mean that there are no red lines that

849
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: Mueller or any special Council can investigate under the terms

850
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: of your order anything he finds Chris, the Special Council

851
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: is subject to the rules and regulations of the Department

852
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: of Justice, and we don't engage in phishing expeditions. Now,

853
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: that order that you read, that doesn't detail specifically who

854
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: may be the subject in investigation because we don't reveal

855
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: that publicly. But Bob Mueller understands, and I understand the

856
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: specific scope of the investigation, and so no it's not

857
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 1: a fishing expedition. I understand it's not a fishing the expedition,

858
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: But you say, any matters that arose or may arise

859
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: directly from the investigation in the course of his investigation

860
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: of the issues that he is looking at, if he

861
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 1: finds evidence of a crime, can he look at that, well, Chris,

862
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: if he finds evidence of a crime that's within the

863
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: scope of what Director Miller and I have agreed is

864
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: the appropriate scope of his investigation, that he can If

865
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: it's something outside that scope, he needs to come to

866
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: the Acting Attorney General at this time me for permission

867
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: to expand his investigation. But we don't talk about that publicly.

868
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: And so the speculation you've seen in the news media,

869
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 1: that's not anything that I've said, It's not anything Director

870
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: Mueller said. We don't know who's saying or who credible,

871
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 1: how credible those sources. And I don't like criminal investigations

872
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: to start on the hoping that you have the target.

873
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you will find the crime, maybe we'll find a statute.

874
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: If we can't find the statute, will stretch the statute

875
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: to fit the person. That sounds like the Renti barrier

876
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: and Joseph Stalin, show me the man and I'll find

877
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: you the crime. I don't want to ever see that

878
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: come to all right, glad you willis eight nine for

879
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: one Shawn on top of North Korea. One of the

880
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: big stories today obviously the FBI in the dark of night,

881
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: early morning dawn raid of Paul Manaforts computers and Paul

882
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: obviously didn't get the memo. Paul Manafort made a huge mistake.

883
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: He didn't know that if something is under subpoena, he

884
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: has the right. Apparently I didn't know this law was passed.

885
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: I must have missed it to delete thirty three thousand

886
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: emails and just claim it's about yoga classes, some wedding

887
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: he was planning in a funeral, and that he's e

888
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: wit mailing people that don't have email addresses, And that

889
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: would have gotten him off the hook. If he would

890
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: have acid washed and bleach bit every computer he had,

891
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: he would have been off the hook. If he would

892
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 1: have taken a hammer to any devices left, he would

893
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: have gotten off the hook. Or had the I T

894
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: guy smash government property and hard drive, he would have

895
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 1: gotten off the hook. And one of the issues I

896
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: don't know what is going on, Why it's going on?

897
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: It was the day after he volunteered to go before

898
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: one of the Senate committees and involved in the never

899
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: ending Russia Russia Russia conspiracy, which is not going to

900
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: end well for the Democrats, and it's not getting to

901
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: where they think and they're gonna have a lot of

902
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 1: egg on their faces. Mind prediction. Anyway, at some point,

903
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: you got somebody's got to point out the double standard.

904
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: Do we have equal justice under the law? Is anybody

905
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: really gonna get to the bottom of the deep state

906
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: about a leak a day, including conversations the President of

907
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: the United States has with the President of Mexico and

908
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Australia, including is much negative raw

909
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: intelligence that takes a guy like General Flynn and ruins

910
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: his life, which was illegal from the get go, or

911
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: the unmasking of hundreds of people by a U n

912
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: Ambassador Samantha Power, and the investigation into the General Council

913
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: of the FBI, James Comey the FBI, James Baker the FBI.

914
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: And then of course we've got Susan Rice, Samantha Power,

915
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: Ben Rhodes, James Clapper who made it easier for all

916
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: this to happen, and I want to see where Brennan

917
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 1: is at the end of all of this also, and

918
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 1: just will ignore the entire issue of Uranium one collusion

919
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: and pay for play in that case. It's unbelievable. And

920
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: I just I really worry if we're shredding a constitution

921
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: and equal justice under the law and fourth amend and

922
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: protections against unreasonable search and seizure. Whatever happened to the

923
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: need for a warrant? Whatever happened to the laws and

924
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: the rules governing surveillance and unmasking and leaking of raw intelligence?

925
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: And what about the conflicts of Robert Mueller? Oh, that's right,

926
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: he's best friends with James Coomey. Whoopsie Daisy, Oh, that's right,

927
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: he's He's hired eight people that have donated heavily to Obama,

928
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: Hillary and to other Democrats. One of them was Hillary

929
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: Clinton's old attorney. One has ethical problems. How many Republican donors?

930
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: Zero did he hire? He didn't hire one of them? Now?

931
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: Um Joining us now is Matthew Whittaker. He's a lead

932
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: commentat or former U S attorney, directs the Foundation for

933
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: Accountability and Civic Trust and a conservative ethics watchdog group

934
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: and is Mueller's investigation going too far? I keep bringing

935
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: up the issue of mission creep and military matters, investigative

936
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: creep when it comes to special counsels, etcetera, etcetera. How

937
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: are you, sir? I'm doing well today. There's a lot

938
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: to talk about, isn't there? There? Really are tried to

939
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,959
Speaker 1: lay it out. What part do I have wrong here? Well?

940
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know your listeners, I'm sure

941
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: take all of this and they want to understand the

942
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: common threat and the common thread is that we you know,

943
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: it appears that we're starting to live in a society

944
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 1: where the rules only apply to certain people. And if

945
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: you you know, are a political ally of the elites

946
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: or those u that control various institutions, then you know,

947
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: you different center rules apply than it does to sort

948
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: of the rest of us in this in this country.

949
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,720
Speaker 1: And it can't be like that. It's what our founding

950
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: fathers um felt was wrong, you know, when they were

951
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: a colony of of a foreign hour. And I think

952
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: that you know, fundamentally, you know, this investigation by Bob

953
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: Muller uh needs to be limited. It has to be limited,

954
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: and anybody who is saying that Bob Mueller looking into

955
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: unrelated financial transactions of the president, his family, or his

956
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: associates before he seeks to get an extension of his authority. Uh,

957
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: is really trying to shred the Fourth Amendment because you know,

958
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: we cannot have the FBI and the Department Justice going

959
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: on fishing expeditions and essentially just trying to find a

960
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: fishing fishing expedition. What did you think of the pre

961
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: dawn raid of mentaphor it? Well, I mean, if I

962
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's interesting. First of all, it's another leak.

963
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we you know, sort of it happened. It

964
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 1: didn't happen yesterday. It happened in July. As I as

965
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: I understand it, and you know that is that is

966
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: typically the way you do investigations, is you is you

967
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: do execute search warrants on targets of investigations and you

968
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: gather their information. And the thing I can't figure out

969
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: is that appeared that Manafort was trying to cooperate and

970
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: given everything they wanted. It seemed a little heavy handed.

971
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: If that's uh the way they were going to treat him, Well, jeez,

972
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: what about one of the things that's really frustrating me

973
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: is the idea that was supposed to have equal justice

974
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: under the law. Um, I believe it's it's so obvious

975
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: that Hillary Clinton committed multiple felonies. UM. I think the

976
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: fact that thirty emails deleted their under subpoena, then the

977
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: bleach Bit acid washing, and then of course sends the

978
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: FBI phones and blackberries without SIM cards, and then busting

979
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: up with Hammer's devices. And you know, I'm looking at

980
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: all of that, and I don't even mention uranium one,

981
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: which is real Russia collusion and seemingly a quid pro

982
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: quote to me of our uranium. And I'm looking at that,

983
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking, I'm masking, I'm looking at intelligence leagues, I'm

984
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: looking at Wasson and Shoultz. I'm looking at all these

985
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: cases and I don't see anything going on in those cases.

986
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering, have we now politicized political have we

987
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: criminalized rather political differences? And as Donald Trump being singled out,

988
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: and we're ignoring real crimes that have real evidence, and

989
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: you know of other prominent people because of their politics. Yeah, well,

990
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: and one is the interesting in your in your in

991
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: your opening there to this segment. I'm sure your listeners

992
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: heard that, the the the hypocritical nature that that Hillary

993
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: Clinton's um destroying evidence and what appears to be an

994
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice, of plain and simple, clear as day.

995
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: As soon as you apply to somebody else like Paul

996
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: Manaford or even you know, sort of anybody close to

997
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: the president, suddenly it sounds a lot um, a lot

998
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: more sinister, and a lot more like what it was

999
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: at the time, which was Hillary Clinton trying to prevent

1000
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: the American people from seeing what she was doing on

1001
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: the private email server. And so, I mean, I think

1002
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. We we run it. We we really

1003
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: run a risk here where the prosecution is used as

1004
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: an instrument to harass political opponents, and that just can't

1005
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: be in this system of of everyone's equal under the law.

1006
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: For example, isn't it legal to mishandle classified top secret

1007
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 1: Special Access Program information? Isn't that illegal? And Hillary did that?

1008
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: Didn't she? She did? I don't think there's any doubt

1009
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 1: in it, no ambiguity. Did did she destroy such when

1010
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: she deleted the thirty three thousand emails under subpoena? And

1011
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: isn't deleting emails that have been subpoena. It isn't that illegal.

1012
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 1: It is, I mean, and it's an obstruction of justice,

1013
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. And when you when you

1014
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: break devices of varying devices, or you decide. I had

1015
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: never heard a bleach bit before Hillary Clinton, did you?

1016
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: I had not. No. That's sort of like acid washing

1017
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: your hard drive, right, yeah, Well she thought it was

1018
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: more like wiping it with a cleanex But you mean,

1019
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: like you mean, like with a cloth, I remember ed

1020
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: Henry asked her that question. Did you ever wipe your

1021
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: server clean? Well? Do you mean like with a cloth? Head,

1022
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: like with a cloth? When she did, darn well what

1023
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: they were talking about. So all of those would be

1024
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: potential crimes. All that would be obstruction of justice. All

1025
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: of that would be mishandling. Does it We have these

1026
00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: laws on the book. Is it illegal to unmask America?

1027
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Is for political purposes? For political purposes? Quite? You know

1028
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: it might be. I mean those you know obviously those

1029
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: are um so we know if you leak intelligence against Americans,

1030
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: that's a violation of the Espionage Act and a felony, right, correct.

1031
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: And we also have laws that we shouldn't be surveilling

1032
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: without a search warrant or any of some other types

1033
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: of warrant U U S citizens. And when surveillance, incidental

1034
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: surveillance occurs, we're supposed to practice something called minimization, where

1035
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: you minimize what it is that you're actually hearing from

1036
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: the American citizen. And standard operating procedure and protocol would

1037
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: be that when you're rite up the report, you say

1038
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: an American, you don't identify who the American is, whether

1039
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: you know him or not. Yeah. The the analogous situation

1040
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: would be if you had a wire tap. It's very

1041
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: similar to that. Yeah. And and don't you need for example,

1042
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: but if we believe in the Constitution and Fourth Amendment rights,

1043
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: don't you need a search warrant to do such? And

1044
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: either a FISA court warrant or a regular search warrant. Yeah,

1045
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: And they're very limited it to both scope and time.

1046
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: And so you can't have these you know, open ended

1047
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: uh and uh, you know, sort of a vacuuming of

1048
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: all communications. Can I ask you, Mr Whittaker, can you

1049
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: think of any circumstances under which are United a U

1050
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: N ambassador an ambassador to the United Nations in this case,

1051
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Samantha Power in an election year, would need to unmask

1052
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: hundreds of people, the majority of which are related to

1053
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Can you think of any rational reason for that?

1054
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: No rational reason except for the obvious political intent that

1055
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: it was for. All Right, thank you sir for being

1056

01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: it's a pleasure and an honor to speak to you. Yes, sir,

1068
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: honor is all mine. What's going on? Well, you know,

1069
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 1: we're just uh you know, I represent Middle America out here,

1070
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: and uh uh, we were concerned, we're furious about what's happening. Uh.

1071
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: We see the less attempt to uh to see his

1072
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: uh uh this election from us and the only way

1073
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: that I see that we can turn this about or

1074
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: really and really get Washington's attention as opposed to all

1075
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: of you know, bloodshed or violence. I want to I

1076
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: want a national strike, Sean. I want to see a

1077
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 1: national strike. And I say that because if we don't,

1078
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: this is a precedent that there's a precedent that will

1079
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: be set here by the left and they'll use these

1080
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: tactics to attack any conservative that's elected uh in in

1081
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: state positions, local positions, or national positions from this point forward.

1082
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: I think it's irreversible if we allow them to win. Look,

1083
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know about the national strike day. The reason

1084
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,479
Speaker 1: I never called for that sort of thing is because

1085
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna end up being permanently hurt. They can't afford it,

1086
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: and I don't want to see somebody get fired. So

1087
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: I try to think through those things like a never employer.

1088
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: As an employer, we see the need for drastic action. Yeah, no,

1089
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: for those that want to volunteer and do something and

1090
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: send a message, and and most employers they want Trump

1091
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: to succeed they want his policies just to succeed. And

1092
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: I think they'll be far more tolerant of this than

1093
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: you believe and more accepting of it. Maybe we need

1094
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: a march on the Capitol and say that the likes

1095
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: if they're gonna keep Mitch McConnell. I am so frustrated

1096
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: and so disappointed and so annoyed and so let down.

1097
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: And I think he's he's weak, he's spineless, he doesn't

1098
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: keep his promises. I tweeted it out last night and

1099
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: people are like, well, Hannity, you said you'd be quiet

1100
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: against your political adversaries for twelve hours and I wasn't

1101
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,439
Speaker 1: talking about him, and they took it the wrong way.

1102
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: But I can't even tell you the level of disappointment

1103
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: I have. They couldn't even get the skinny repeal through

1104
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: and now he feels like he's a bid and the

1105
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Senators Biden. He has the vapors over the fact that, oh,

1106
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: people are holding him accountable a town halls and why

1107
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: didn't you get repealing in a place done like you

1108
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: said you would. It's so frustrating to me. I I

1109
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: I feel it's a a letdown of monumental proportions and

1110
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I really think this is crunch time.

1111
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Either the Republicans are gonna get their act together and

1112
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: I see no indication they will, or they're just gonna

1113
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: pay a price, many of them in the upcoming election.

1114
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: And I just think people like McConnell don't care. And

1115
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: if McConnell thinks it's such a burden to have to

1116
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: keep his promise, and that the president overpromised, he didn't

1117
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: do anything, I I honestly it's time for him to retire,

1118
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: time for him to go. Let's get somebody in there

1119
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: with the energy and the fight and the love and

1120
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: the passion and the desire to move and shake things

1121
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: up and keep promises. Not that hard, It's not that complicated,

1122
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: all right. Eight hundred nine fool one seawan our toll

1123
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 1: free telephone number. You want to be a part of

1124
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: the program, The Gobby one Katie Hopkins. She has some

1125
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: parenting advice. When we get back end and we'll get

1126
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,480

1128
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: but it only means one good thing, and that's like

1129
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: the Gobby one. Katie Hopkins our friend from our British

1130
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: friend is back. How are you? I'm very well, thank you.

1131
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: And you will grow to love that music. I know

1132
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: you will. In I'm not going to grow to love it.

1133
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: I did watch Prince William and Prince Harry talking about

1134
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: their mom, and I thought it was extraordinarily touching. Actually,

1135
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that documentary. Did you

1136
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: see it? Yes? I saw it. What do you think?

1137
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: You know? I suppose there's there's a what is there?

1138
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: It's like a we have this reserved thing, don't we,

1139
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: being British? I mean I don't really have the reserved

1140
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: bode in my body, but we like to think of

1141
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: our royals as private or shy, or retiring, or at

1142
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: least somehow remote and detached from all of us. So

1143
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: annoyed it quite hard when they over emote on TV. Well,

1144
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: I didn't even find it over emoting. I mean, their

1145
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: mother was well liked and loved, and I think they

1146
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: all feel that the father kind of screwed her over

1147
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, which I think he did, and they

1148
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: obviously it was a tragedy what happened to her. And

1149
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: I didn't remember how big the wedding was, but the

1150
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 1: wedding was massive, and the funeral was massive, and then

1151
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: here are these two young men that just talked very

1152
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: very openly and honestly about their their mom as. What

1153
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: do you call the mom's what like a mummy? What

1154
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:53,479
Speaker 1: is a mum? What would you call her mom? What's up? Mom?

1155
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: You have to do like a Really, I hate to

1156
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: say it. It depends if I was not listening to her,

1157
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: But you want to know how incorrigible I was as

1158
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: a child' My mom would tell me not to leave

1159
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the house and I'm not listening to you, and I'd

1160
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: walk out of the house. How horrible is that? Well,

1161
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 1: I think I think it's perfectly acceptable. But yeah, we

1162
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: say mom and in m you m'm m a m

1163
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: The way you say it almost makes it sound ridiculous,

1164
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 1: and I almost like mom better, considering you're mocking the

1165
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: way where you say mother. Well, some people say mother

1166
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: and father. I have friends of mine in the Salath

1167
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: that still refer to mom and dad as yes ma'am, no, ma'am,

1168
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: yes sir, no sir, And I kind of like that

1169
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: too that I love that too, but I don't get

1170
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: that totally adopted that, so I adopt that here. So anytime,

1171
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: anytime someone's kind of pissy with me or not very

1172
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,919
Speaker 1: happy with me, or maybe a bit grumpy or being

1173
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: typically British, then I try and kill them with kindness,

1174
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: which is essentially just just the way i'd treat people, like,

1175
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: kill them with kindness, and then they get the whole shebank.

1176
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: So my daughter's about to be sixteen, do you I

1177
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: get the eye roll now? And I'm like, really, I

1178
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: don't want the sixteen year old eye roll. It's annoying

1179
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: as hell. I just pulled him up on that direct

1180
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: So I say, look, look, look I can do that too,

1181
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 1: and then I all right back at them and then

1182
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: I go yet, mom, no, Mom, all the way to

1183
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: the back. So the best things to do with kids today.

1184
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I'm parent of the year, what

1185
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: the hell do I know? But um, and that's the thing,

1186
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: there's no handbook how to be a parent. I'm sure

1187
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: there are books written, but there's really no handbook. It's

1188
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,759
Speaker 1: kind of a learned as you go. But the best

1189
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: weapon I have now, my father's best weapon was called

1190
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 1: his belt. He used to take it off and rip

1191
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 1: me to shreds and whack my legs, my arms, and

1192
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: my backside, and he chased me all around the house

1193
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: and around. I used to I remember, instance, you're chasing

1194
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: me around the table. Did you ever get there? Yes,

1195
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: that's so funny. So my mother would kill me if

1196
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: she heard me now. But she used to chase me

1197
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: with a hairbrush, and one time the hairbrush broke and

1198
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 1: I remember her saying to me, look what you've done now.

1199
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I used to get whacked with a hair brush.

1200
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: What is the worst thing you did as a kid.

1201
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm no doubt we would have been friends

1202
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:07,759
Speaker 1: because we were both incorrigible. It's so the worst secret

1203
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: that I have, and I still haven't told my father this,

1204
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: so it's worth me sharing it with you privately. Given

1205
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: that we're just having a private chat between you and

1206
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: I fifteen million people radio stations. I'm sure he won't

1207
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: hear about my dad. It's okay. He'll be like demented

1208
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: by the time they catch up with him. So I

1209
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: remember coming home from town really really late one night,

1210
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: so it was past where my dad said I had

1211
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: to be home, which was like eleven o'clock at night,

1212
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: and I came around the corner with my boyfriend, then

1213
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: Matthew corner. She was called and looking up the garden path,

1214
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: looking up towards my house. They're illuminated against the lights

1215
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: of our hallway. Was my naked father looking out for

1216
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: me and mother went out of the house naked. He

1217
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: was stood in the hallway, but because there's the backdrop

1218
01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 1: of light, he was like illuminated, like this giant naked,

1219
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: fat thing looking at me and my boyfriend hiding behind

1220
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: a dree Alright, so I haven't caught in that yet.

1221
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: Do you know what my father did? Because there was

1222
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 1: an old navy guy. He'd wear his skivvy shirt, his

1223
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: white T shirt and boxer underwear and walk out of

1224
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 1: the house with that and shorts or walk out of

1225
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 1: the house and you know, on his older age, he

1226
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: had a nice big stomach and and it was so

1227
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: humiliated me, like get back in the house. It's embarrassing.

1228
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 1: But did you kiss his boyfriend? How old was it? Oh? Yeah,

1229
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: we did, were four teen. But but I remember thinking

1230
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: how the heck I was going to get back in

1231
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,440
Speaker 1: the house given my father was there kind of monopolizing

1232
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: the hallway in his nudity, So I had to wait there.

1233
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: That was all very complicated, but my parents are still

1234
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: alive now, God only knows how. And I guess now

1235
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: that kind of I'm a mom myself. And they say

1236
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 1: that my second child, my middle child, Puppy is punishment

1237
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: for me being me, because Poppy is very like me.

1238
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: You see. But the web Ben's parents have today are

1239
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: very different than the hairbrush for you or the belt

1240
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 1: for me. Is you just take away your kids are electronics, yeah,

1241
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: or turn off the WiFi. I found to be particularly effected,

1242
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: so you don't even tell them, You don't mention it.

1243
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: You just go in, turn off your WiFi and let

1244
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: them suffer and then ask if it's broken. I think

1245
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: you know. Children are very much like dogs, so you

1246
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 1: need to call them by a name that you would

1247
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: use for a dog with one syllable, like George or Mark.

1248
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: And then you run them twice a day and you

1249
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: feed them twice a day. And that's essentially my kind

1250
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: of parenting tips to all new parents. Oh you feed

1251
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: say that again, you feed them once a day and

1252
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: you what so you need to first of all, when

1253
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: you're naming your baby, like, don't think of something cute.

1254
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: Don't think about what your father was called. Or your grandfather,

1255
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: any of that nonsense. Just think of a name that

1256
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: sounds really good when you how did you name your kids?

1257
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: I go for things like George or mac George. That's,

1258
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: by the way, that's really worn out of originality there

1259
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: and creativity. It's one syllable like Sean. Sure, what Sean?

1260
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: Sean can shout? How do you say like that? What

1261
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: are you doing? Do you need one syllable name for

1262
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: your child if you're pregnant, bets in mind? One syllable?

1263
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 1: I mean, my kid's name is Irish, I mean Patrick,

1264
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: and Mary Kelly, I mean, can't get any more Irish?

1265
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: Can it? Yeah? Mary Kelly? That's how do you shout

1266
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: Mary Kelly when you're okay? Get down here? Sounds a

1267
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: bit like an automated sort of rifle. But you know,

1268
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: but the difference between boys and girls of this is

1269
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: that with my son, you know, I tell him to

1270
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: stop doing so. I could yell and yell and yell

1271
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 1: and yell and yell, and until I took his PlayStation

1272
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: or his Xbox away, I wouldn't get his attention. And

1273
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: I even I'm not gonna lie, there's been one and

1274
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: two smashed in my driveway over the years also, and

1275
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, and just to make a point, but it

1276
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: would take a lot to get his attention with my daughter. Hey,

1277
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: I just do that and she's like in tears, and

1278
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: I feel guilty and horrible. You know, it's so sad.

1279
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: I actually think that my son bore the brunt of

1280
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: me being in a experienced parent more than my daughter.

1281
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: Do you feel that, well, I think I think you're

1282
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: overthinking that. I suspect that you're a fantastic dad and

1283
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: they love you, love you dearly. They think they think

1284
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm a painting the neck and that I'm strict and

1285
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 1: that I have very high expectations of what their jobs are.

1286
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: And I don't care what Dad did when he was young.

1287
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 1: Dad didn't have the parental supervision or opportunities I'm giving

1288
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 1: you and do your job. Yes, well, I I agree

1289
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: that if they think you're strict in a nightmare, then

1290
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: you've done a really good job at being a parent.

1291
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 1: You try being me Like, I have two girls and

1292
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: they are twelve and eleven, and I don't want to

1293
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: discuss their assets, but let's just put it this way.

1294
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: They have bigger boobs than I do, cleaner She puts

1295
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: away my underwear in my eleven year old daughter's draw

1296
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 1: That's humiliating. That's the sort of stuff. What do you

1297
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: wear like Renny Jenny underwear, like old lady underwear. No,

1298
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: it's just because my assets are considerably less than the

1299
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: daughters that I've given birth to. Everyone gets muddled in

1300
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: the underwear department and it is humiliating. In fact, I

1301
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 1: just sent you, guy, um something we ran on the

1302
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: Daily Mail earlier where there was a restaurant in China

1303
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:07,719
Speaker 1: that was offering a bigger discount the bigger your brass

1304
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: eyes or the cup size that you wear. So if

1305
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: you have like really big boots, you've got a sixty discount.

1306
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: All right, This is way out of my league, and

1307
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about this, especially in light

1308
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: of the political correct atmosphere. You know, you know, you

1309
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 1: can't even tell. I mean, this is a part of life.

1310
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, that really looks nice on you. What

1311
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: sexual harassment? I swear to God, I know somebody at

1312
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: some company and I'm not gonna tell you where where

1313
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: a guy at work said to a girl, Hey, would

1314
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 1: you like to get a drink after work? And the

1315
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: girl literally said went to HR, and said I felt uncomfortable.

1316
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: He asked me to go get a drink after work.

1317
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: It's so disappointing, I can tell you as as a

1318
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: vaguely as a woman. It's so disappointing, Suan, because women

1319
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 1: are going to end up litigating themselves out of the

1320
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: workplace entirely because why would you employ a woman? It's

1321
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: is this the sort of stuff you're just going to

1322
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: get endlessly thrown at men who were just trying to

1323
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 1: be kind of good. In fairness, there are guys that

1324
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: are horrible. I mean, there are people that are There

1325
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 1: are women that are horrible too, but you know, we

1326
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: all need to stop this relentless running to HR. I

1327
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: do think HR is the source of much malevolence in

1328
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: large organizations, but that's my personal view. You know, I've

1329
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: been to these sessions, you know, so the last time

1330
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go to the session because I've been there

1331
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 1: year after year after year. So the guy came to

1332
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: me and I literally went through so I can't say

1333
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: this this this this this this this this this this

1334
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:35,719
Speaker 1: this this this this, and I went through the whole

1335
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: thing and it was really over the top, like consane.

1336
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: The guy laughed, and said I think you got it,

1337
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 1: and he walked out. Yeah. I mean we saw the same,

1338
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 1: didn't we with the Google memo? You know, you know,

1339
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad we talked about parenthood because I just need

1340
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: a break from the constant politics here. It's driving me nuts.

1341
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: All right, Katie Hopkins is putting a smile on my face.

1342
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: Parent of the Year. Obviously, I'm I probably needed a

1343
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: brush to I don't think the brush hurt as much

1344
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: as the belt. But we'll talk about that when we

1345
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,439

Speaker 1: your calls at the bottom of the half house. So

1352
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: what is Great Britain saying about the constant assault and

1353
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: attacks on this president? Are they watching it closely? Are

1354
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,560
Speaker 1: they worried? And what are they saying about the showdown

1355
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: with North Korea that's looming? Yeah, I think that, you know,

1356
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 1: we just suffer in this country from a sort of

1357
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: bias across our mainstream media, as you know, and a

1358
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,799
Speaker 1: well aware of there is that, you know, this country

1359
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: seems so set against Trump in terms of the media

1360
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: and the liberal left, and so the views we get,

1361
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: the voices we hear are very skewed. But there is also,

1362
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: of course a massive Trump support base, of which I

1363
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,480
Speaker 1: want to be an aim to be one of the champions.

1364
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: And for many of us, we feel like, and I

1365
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: certainly feel like, it's time someone stood up to North Korea.

1366
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 1: It's time that someone said, no, you're not going to

1367
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: carry on threatening people in that matter. We will stand

1368
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: up to you. And you know, bear in mind, this

1369
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: is a guy that you know, sent kind of missiles

1370
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 1: to kill his own uncle, then destroyed the whole of

1371
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: his uncle family. You know, it's it's utter madness what

1372
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: we've let him get away with so far. And I

1373
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 1: think it's about time someone stood up to Fat Boy

1374
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: Kim and said, no, listen, there will be far and

1375
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: fury if you mess around with any of our territory.

1376
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: Was I was so happy he said up. But Katie,

1377
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: I really worry in this sense. I mean, this is

1378
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: not an easy operation. Even if we say, we know

1379
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: we can count on the bridge. We know we're going

1380
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: to have the Israelis, we know we'll have probably even

1381
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: most of Western Europe because they better realized this is

1382
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: a threat to them too. I even imagine that we'll

1383
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: get China and Russia if he really keep saber rattling.

1384
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: But let's say we even created a military coalition, we

1385
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:07,000
Speaker 1: took out the nuclear sites. Okay, you're gonna obliterate and

1386
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: incinerate North Korea. Then you're gonna have nuclear fallout. Then

1387
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: you've got to worry about whether or not this this

1388
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: lunatic is able to launch nuclear weapons in the South Korea, Japan,

1389
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: or Guam or even China. I mean, it's pretty it's

1390
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: a pretty frightening scenario with no good options, considering we're

1391
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: stupid enough not only to allow them to get them,

1392
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: but fund him getting them by trying to bribe him

1393
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: out of getting them. So stupidly, I I totally agree

1394
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: with you and nobody you know, and it should be

1395
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 1: in any way looking forward to any kind of weird

1396
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: showdown between two big leaders or whichever groups appear to

1397
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 1: sort of defend democracy and freedom. And I don't know,

1398
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: there's part of me that doesn't count on Western Europe

1399
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,719
Speaker 1: backing up anything anymore, only because I think I've lost

1400
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 1: faith a little in Western Europe and its ability to

1401
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 1: stand strong in the face of anything, having seen another

1402
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: six soldiers run down by a car today in Paris,

1403
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 1: another attack. Yeah so, but I do think maybe there

1404
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: is another means of taking out King Jong own and

1405
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I think doing that with special forces sounds very reasonable

1406
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 1: to me. I just don't know why we would allow

1407
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,600
Speaker 1: someone that despicable to carry on having a place in

1408
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: any kind of leadership position, especially when they're as unstable

1409
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: as he clearly is. How many times would have you

1410
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,839
Speaker 1: written things that you come under fire in Great Britain

1411
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: because you're even more PC than we are. Yeah, absolutely,

1412
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: we we are more PC. I had this conversation. We're

1413
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: not far behind anymore. You know, all these groups are

1414
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: always trying to get me fired. You know that, right,

1415
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: I know that. I know that, and it breaks my

1416
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 1: heart and I and I you know, there's so much

1417
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: of me that rages when they go after you, when

1418
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: they go after others, and you just want to say,

1419
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,480
Speaker 1: why can you not have opposite views? They don't want

1420
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 1: another They are the most intolerant people. Liberal fascism is real.

1421
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 1: They want to silence every conservative voice, absolutely, and and

1422
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: it does break my heart. And I think there is

1423
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 1: something really terrifying about watching these voices disappear from social

1424
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: media for us, from Twitter, from YouTube, watching the kind

1425
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: of menacing, overarching or Wellian approach that says, if you're

1426
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 1: from the right, your voice may not be heard, and

1427
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: we're going to bring in these people to police you.

1428
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 1: When it seems that the real terrorists are left to

1429
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 1: walk around, you know, without being policed, or without being cautioned,

1430
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: or without being given warnings, where someone like me, just

1431
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: like someone like you, is underfire constantly by the thoughts

1432
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 1: of people that look to silence the things, the opinions

1433
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: that you and I have. All Right, we gotta break

1434
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 1: Keaty Harp. So one of these days you gotta make

1435
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: it to New York and we'd love to see in

1436
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: person and put you on the TV show and get

1437
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: to know a little bit better. Yeah, of course, the

1438
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: goobby one, Katy Hopkins, she's gonna go talk to her

1439
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: mom after this quick break. Right back, we'll continue extremely

1440
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,639
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why goes on for two years

1441
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: and the reason I think the storyline is that we

1442
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: haven't done much is because in part of the President

1443
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 1: and others have set these early kind lines about things

1444
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: need to be done by a certain point now our

1445
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: new president. Of of of course, I've been in this line

1446
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: of work before, and I think had excessive in expectations

1447
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:25,519
Speaker 1: about how quickly things happen in the democratic process. And

1448
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: so part of the reason I think people feel like

1449
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: we're under under performing isn't because too many kind of

1450
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: artificial deadlines on unrelated to the reality of the complexity

1451
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: um legislative may not have been fully understood. And of

1452
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 1: course our political adversaries would be loves obviously that anytime.

1453
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: So what I'm asking of view is to judge this

1454
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 1: conversation when it finishes, how much have we done to

1455
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: make America competitive again and to grow again? And that's

1456
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: part of American I I feel it's rising from my

1457
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 1: solar plexus, the anger and the frustration. And you know

1458
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:24,520
Speaker 1: you don't understand, you people, the complexity of legislations and legislating.

1459
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 1: I am sitting here and I'm listening to this man

1460
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 1: or the artificial early timeline, artificial deadlines, and you know

1461
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:39,520
Speaker 1: you're thinking we haven't done much, and the excessive expectations

1462
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 1: of the President and others. And I've been here a

1463
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: time or two. I know exactly what we're doing. No, Senator,

1464
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 1: that's not true. It's just not true. You're not getting

1465
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,799
Speaker 1: your job done. You'll be back, it'll be the ninth

1466
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: month when you return. And you can't even get done

1467
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 1: a seven year promise. You can't keep your coalition together,

1468
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: you can't even get a skinny repeal bill that was

1469
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 1: bordering on next to nothing. But you can't even do that.

1470
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: And then you lash out at the president who's done

1471
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: everything he could possibly do, and they wait, and you wait,

1472
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: and you wait, and your vacation and you have your

1473
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 1: long lunches and you have your stupid meetings, and you

1474
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:27,839
Speaker 1: weren't ready for the moment to lead. You weren't ready.

1475
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 1: You didn't do your job. You're not up for the job,

1476
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: you don't have the urgency for the job. And and frankly,

1477
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: you look tired and angry than anybody that's pointing out

1478
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: you're not doing your job. You're supposed to be a

1479
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: public servant. The idea that you can't get this done,

1480
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 1: and the idea that it took so long to get

1481
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: so many of the President's appointments put through. It's breathtaking

1482
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: to me. Nobody in the real world lives like you.

1483
01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: Senator McConnell, You know, I have excessive expectation, sans I

1484
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 1: don't think after seven years of hearing repeal and replace,

1485
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 1: the President tweeted out, why is it not done? Now? Okay,

1486
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: our president hasn't been in this line of work before.

1487
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: He's had excessive expectations how quickly things happened in the

1488
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: democratic process. So part of the reason I think people

1489
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 1: feel that we're under performing is because there's too many

1490
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: artificial deadlines. I'm related to the reality of the complexity

1491
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: of legislator may not have been fully understood. Wow. Now,

1492
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: the President, to his credit, firing back, you know, excessive expectations,

1493
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: He said, I don't think so. And the President's right

1494
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: seven seven long years to give us the House, give

1495
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:50,440
Speaker 1: us the Senate, you know. Lindsey Graham also dismissed McConnell's

1496
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: blaming Trump on Wednesday. I liked Mitch, but for eight

1497
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: years we've been saying we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare.

1498
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 1: It's not like we made this up overnight. Now we've

1499
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: been working on repealing Obama. Carey said to Brian, kill me,

1500
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 1: my my buddy. But and he goes the idea put forward.

1501
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: If the idea put forward didn't pass, it wasn't many

1502
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 1: ways ill conceived. Yeah, you think. And they missed manages

1503
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 1: from the get go, just like in the House. But

1504
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 1: the House at least fixed it. Not to my expectations,

1505
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,559
Speaker 1: not to what I wanted, but at least they got

1506
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: the job done. He's on vacation this week. He's talking

1507
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 1: with constituents. I'm sure they left very few people and

1508
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: they control the crowd. All right, let's get to our

1509
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: busy phones. Eight hundred nine for one. Shaun iss a

1510
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: toll free telephone number. You want to join us. Lisa

1513
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,240
Speaker 1: thank you for taking the call. I just wanted to

1514
01:25:50,280 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: share something that I found to be very interesting. My

1515
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 1: to have a child that serves in military and as

1516
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 1: part of their training UM they have built, you know,

1517
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: full size scale cities villages where they train with UM

1518
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 1: hired civilians from the general population to come in and

1519
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: act as friend or foe, and it's the job of

1520
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:16,280
Speaker 1: military to go into these training exercises and determine who

1521
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: was a friend or a folk and do all of

1522
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Well, my child told me when

1523
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: um they did their training several weeks ago, was that

1524
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 1: in all the years that they've had this facility up

1525
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 1: and running, they've always hired Middle Eastern civilians and this

1526
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: time around they've got all Koreans. And now, well, first

1527
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: of all, your son is a hero. And I'm sure

1528
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: every day, every night, most people I don't think can

1529
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: relate to this, but I know every parent that I

1530
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: know that as kids in the military, they're up all

1531
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 1: night the scheduled night, of course, and god forbid of

1532
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: the phone rings late from a friend. You know, you're

1533
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 1: absolutely thinking the worst, and so they're now in preparation

1534
01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 1: mode for this is what you're saying. Well, I don't

1535
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: know for sure, but you know it scares you on

1536
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 1: one end of the spectrum, and on the other end

1537
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 1: of the spectrum, you feel good that they're actually kicking

1538
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 1: it seriously and actually preparing them for something that that

1539
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: could very well happen. All Right. The only thing, and

1540
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think about this I actually advised the

1541
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 1: kid recently, and I've never done this before in my

1542
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: life because I've been such a big supporter. I think,

1543
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: as you know, the military, I am so angry at

1544
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: how our military treats our veterans. You know, General Kelly

1545
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:31,759
Speaker 1: is the new chief of Staff in the White House,

1546
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 1: and I told the story on air. I don't know

1547
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: if you've heard it. So his son was killed, if

1548
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, in Afghanistan. I don't know if you know that.

1549
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: And four days after his son died, he was giving

1550
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 1: a speech and he asked one thing before the speech,

1551
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 1: could you please not mention my my son and what

1552
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: happened to my son? And first of all, I don't

1553
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: know how you talk after four days. But this is

1554
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: what distinguishes military from the rest of the civilian world,

1555
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 1: which is some odd percent of people will never serve

1556
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 1: in the military in this country. And I just put

1557
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:08,000
Speaker 1: them in a very high level of the highest level

1558
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: of service, because they're all risk in their life. Everybody

1559
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 1: risked their lives if you go into military. And so

1560
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 1: he said that, and then at another point down the road,

1561
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 1: and I found I had one conversation with General Kelly

1562
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: only once in my life and I brought this up

1563
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 1: with him, and then I and and I know he said,

1564
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, isolate my son. He's

1565
01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:33,559
Speaker 1: only one that whose families have suffered because of death

1566
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 1: in this war. He's you know, he's no better in

1567
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: the sense he's saying, they're all heroes. And I just

1568
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 1: know how hard it is. If there's one thing I

1569
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 1: could tell you, and and even you know, we got

1570
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,320
Speaker 1: to remember at least even launching these weapons can kill you.

1571
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 1: That's the danger, you know everyone, And that's and that's

1572
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: another huge fear of every single military parent I'm in

1573
01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:00,799
Speaker 1: touch with, is that not only you fear about launching

1574
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 1: the missiles, but all of the accidents happening in training.

1575
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: Every single person in the Navy and the Marines that's

1576
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: been killed lately has been in training accidents. Yeah, you know,

1577
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: look so and their level of professionalism is beyond all

1578
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 1: the hook. Here's my only point. I do believe that

1579
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 1: if God forbid, what I'm fearing happens, it's gonna have

1580
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 1: to end quickly. It's just it's not gonna be long

1581
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:34,200
Speaker 1: drawn out, protracted mission creep like Vietnam or in the

1582
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 1: case of Iraq and Afghanistan. It's going to be in

1583
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:40,679
Speaker 1: and out and over and the results could potentially be

1584
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:44,519
Speaker 1: beyond devastating. Um does that make sense? And I don't

1585
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

1586
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no I've been saying, there's no good

1587
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:52,720
Speaker 1: results here. Even winning and everything going our way is

1588
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:56,680
Speaker 1: still an incineration of a country and who knows how

1589
01:29:56,680 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 1: many tens, hundreds of thousands or more die. There is

1590
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 1: no good answer to our hope that we're able to

1591
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 1: just go in and assassinate him quietly and help with

1592
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 1: the humanitarian effort. And I don't think that's an easy

1593
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:10,640
Speaker 1: tisk either. I mean, I don't think so either. I

1594
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 1: don't think so either. But as the parents of someone

1595
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 1: in several several family members serving in the military, that's

1596
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, best case scenario. Lisa, you and your son

1597
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 1: and your family are in our prayers. God bless you,

1598
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 1: and I know that this is hard for you, and

1599
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 1: we'll be praying for all these people. Okay, back to

1600
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 1: our phones. You taught David next on the Sean Hannity Show, David,

1601
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: What's going on? Glad? You called Sean a North Korean

1602
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: attack on a single US city doesn't frighten me as

1603
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:46,639
Speaker 1: much as a Korean high altitude and electromagnetic at which

1604
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:49,599
Speaker 1: would wipe out our electrical system and then the rest

1605
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:52,599
Speaker 1: of the infrastructure collapses and within a year, you've got

1606
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 1: about over three hundred million dead. Well, uh I. The

1607
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: sad thing is I've read two much on this too

1608
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 1: over the years, and and people are saying, well, I

1609
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,320
Speaker 1: don't know what that means if if this guy does this,

1610
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, and you've got to remember the mindset of

1611
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:12,679
Speaker 1: this guy that his father raised him Kim Jong Ill

1612
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 1: from a young age to get revenge for you know,

1613
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: the the battle with America and the North Korea, etcetera, etcetera.

1614
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 1: And he wants to see the U S burn And

1615
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:28,160
Speaker 1: that's how he's been trained, and that's how he's been

1616
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: brought up. And I gotta tell you something. The threat

1617
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 1: to the US economy and the world economy. You know,

1618
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 1: you take three nukes, three exploding just in the atmosphere

1619
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 1: above the United States, the result would be an e

1620
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 1: MP pulse that would destroy every bit of electronics. The

1621
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,639
Speaker 1: entire power grid could be down for months, maybe years,

1622
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 1: And the estimates are that millions can die. Now, you know,

1623
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: you and I just read too much, David. Not many

1624
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: people know what we're talking about here. Well, uh, Sean,

1625
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: the one book that the Ted Copple put out Lights

1626
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 1: Out from last year. Did you happen to read that

1627
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:15,679
Speaker 1: one and didn't read He's not exactly. I'm a happy

1628
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 1: to do list after he burned me with that interview.

1629
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:23,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, Well the other thing would be the Congressional

1630
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:26,679
Speaker 1: Commission report from two thousand to eight. They haven't acted

1631
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 1: on it in nine years, and maybe maybe this will

1632
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 1: just be the prod that will get Congress to do

1633
01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 1: something we can only hope and pray. Yeah, well, you know,

1634
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: maybe we'll do a show about this, this whole issue.

1635
01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:42,080
Speaker 1: And I know others and radio have done it over

1636
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 1: the years, and they all get labeled bizarre conspiracy theories.

1637
01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:47,800
Speaker 1: It's just it's just a fact. You know. If you

1638
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 1: have an a MP pulse that destroys all our electronics,

1639
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:54,480
Speaker 1: our entire power grid, life as you know it, probably

1640
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:58,120
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life is now over and different.

1641
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 1: And nobody's thought through that, right, David, I got a roll.

1642
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 1: Thank you? Eight nine one. Shawn stand also in Arizona,

1643
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:08,400
Speaker 1: how are you stand? Glad you called? Hey? Mr Hannity,

1644
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Yes, sir, what's going on? Hey,

1645
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 1: just real quick on Mitch McConnell. Um. You know, it's

1646
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 1: not like he's a custodian and he has these really

1647
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 1: high expectations to take care of his job. But he's

1648
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 1: a U. S. Senator. And for him to come out

1649
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 1: after in December and January saying that day one they

1650
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,640
Speaker 1: were going to take care of the repeal, um, and

1651
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:34,400
Speaker 1: even given him the benefit of the doubt, it wasn't

1652
01:33:34,439 --> 01:33:37,599
Speaker 1: like Trump had made those demands in saying on day

1653
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 1: one it was gonna get taken care of. It was

1654
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: his own words, um, And I just find it he's

1655
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 1: just he's turned into a joke. Yeah, it's very Look,

1656
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:47,720
Speaker 1: it's very frustrating. I just agree with you. I don't

1657
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 1: even think there's anything more I can say except that, Okay,

1658
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:52,759
Speaker 1: this is this is our life, this is our world,

1659
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: this is the failure. This is one of the greatest

1660
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 1: political disappointments. If he thinks he can turn it around

1661
01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,080
