Speaker 1: Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity radio show podcast. James Comey is getting
Speaker 1: horrible advice. Is interfering in this election. I don't understand
Speaker 1: what the guy's doing, but just from pure political point
Speaker 1: of view, it's a nightmare for the Clint administration Clinton campaign.
Speaker 1: I know why they're upset. They should be. I think
Speaker 1: what Jim Comey did was to throw overboard Justice Department
Speaker 1: procedures because of political reasons, his own internal politics, because
Speaker 1: of the hatred for Hillary Clinton within the FBI. This is, uh,
Speaker 1: just the worst possible situation for the FBI, for the country,
Speaker 1: for Hillary Clinton. Certainly. What why throw that stink bomb
Speaker 1: in the middle of this, you know, at the very
Speaker 1: end of the campaign. I think that's that's a real
Speaker 1: big problem. It does seem like, uh, we have a
Speaker 1: problem with the FBI director. Comey has said high profile
Speaker 1: investigations make him feel pressure to do things quickly and
Speaker 1: do it well. Tonight, his critics are wondering if he
Speaker 1: has failed on both counts. Howard Dean, former Democratic Kennedy
Speaker 1: for president, says, quote, he may have destroyed the credibility
Speaker 1: of the FBI forever put himself on the same side
Speaker 1: as Putin. I think that was a horrendous decision on
Speaker 1: his part, in one that he should and probably does regret.
Speaker 1: It's clear that his disclosure and the spate of now
Speaker 1: competing might even saying worrying FBI leagues that have followed
Speaker 1: have raised serious questions about the FBI's integrity and impartiality.
Speaker 1: The FBI director in the United States is allowing himself
Speaker 1: to be interjected into this political campaign. Unprecedented. It's it's
Speaker 1: a precedent. It's a bad precedent. We have never seen
Speaker 1: this before. Do you think Camy has put the finger
Speaker 1: on the scale for Donald Trump? It just makes the
Speaker 1: FBI look like a like a wing of the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: I don't understand what Comy's doing. That's my main thought
Speaker 1: about all this. Alright, glad you're with us one Shawn,
Speaker 1: a toll free telephone. That's all the media, that's everybody
Speaker 1: on the left, everybody that is now going to be
Speaker 1: all things James Comey basic throwing him down the stairs,
Speaker 1: which shows how political they all are. Everybody angry that
Speaker 1: James Comey's he never did the investigation. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day and they were pressuring him not to
Speaker 1: and clearly that had some impact anyway, eight nine one
Speaker 1: Shawn toll free telephone number. Rand Paul is outraged at
Speaker 1: the what's happening in the invasion if you will, the
Speaker 1: raid of Michael Cohn's home. We're gonna get to that
Speaker 1: in the course of the program. Sally Cone, I've known
Speaker 1: it for many, many years, really really nice person. She
Speaker 1: wrote the book The Opposite of Hate of Field, Guide
Speaker 1: to Repairing Our Humanity. And it's amazing that there are
Speaker 1: some of us that can actually get along with people
Speaker 1: that disagree with us, and then there are other people
Speaker 1: that absolutely hate us just because we are conservative. Linda.
Speaker 1: That brings up a question. I was apparently named like
Speaker 1: the top in the top. They don't number them the
Speaker 1: thirty five most influential media people or whatever by the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter. I was last year too. Um, there's a
Speaker 1: big party tonight tonight tonight, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: I should go. And do you look so dressed up? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not dressed up at all. Jeans look really clean.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing jeans. I could put a jacket on you.
Speaker 1: Did you put on clean socks? I put on clean
Speaker 1: socks every day. Yes, then you're ready to go. So
Speaker 1: you think I should go absolutely and say hi to
Speaker 1: all the media elite that hate me in that party,
Speaker 1: because they're all gonna hate me there they listen to me.
Speaker 1: They all there's not going to be a single listen.
Speaker 1: If you you can wear my red dress, It's gonna
Speaker 1: be weird, but I'll share it with you. Okay, you
Speaker 1: should go. Just think about all their blood pressure going
Speaker 1: up as you walk in. I think that's why I'm
Speaker 1: selected for these things. I think I am. I'm brought
Speaker 1: in for the I'm like the entertainment for the evening.
Speaker 1: He you know, the shock and awe do you are
Speaker 1: a little shock thing that you do with Yeah, which
Speaker 1: is phony, contrived Linda acting outrage. That's like the liberals
Speaker 1: for taking this I'm out of your day exactly. We'll
Speaker 1: think about it. Now. Here's the fascinating thing. And oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't think you should go. Okay.
Speaker 1: The fascinating thing about all of this is so yesterday
Speaker 1: when we come on the air. The headline on Drudge
Speaker 1: All Day yesterday had to do with this upcoming pending
Speaker 1: interview with George Stephanopolis. Now, by the way, did they
Speaker 1: not pick the perfect guy to do the first interview
Speaker 1: with James Comey. Let's get the guy that basically didn't
Speaker 1: prosecute Hillary Clinton and let Hillary Clinton off the hook.
Speaker 1: So let's get the biggest Clinton sycophant supporter that we can,
Speaker 1: George Stephanopolis. And by the way, he denied a request
Speaker 1: to come on the TV show and come on this program,
Speaker 1: which doesn't shock me so anyway, So they did the
Speaker 1: interview earlier this week at some point I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly when, And this is the big ABC promo and
Speaker 1: listen to when they Stephanopolis says that Comey refers to
Speaker 1: to the President of the United States as a mob guy.
Speaker 1: How strange is it for you to sit here and
Speaker 1: compare the president to a mob boss. This Sunday Night
Speaker 1: on ABC had things that you know, but having said
Speaker 1: they could damage President Trump. Jeemes Coy and to those
Speaker 1: who say you should have brought Hillary Clinton before a
Speaker 1: grand jury, the exclusive interview, everyone will be talking about
Speaker 1: this President Trump a starting justice. Should Donald Trump be impeached?
Speaker 1: Stephanopolis comy this Sunday night at a special time ten
Speaker 1: NINS Central on ABC. So that's the big push that
Speaker 1: the liberal media is making about this interview. All right,
Speaker 1: So now we've got comy. He's gonna compare the President
Speaker 1: of the United States of America to a mob guy.
Speaker 1: Now I did this yesterday on the air. Michael. I've
Speaker 1: always said, gone, Junior, this is not for you. I uh,
Speaker 1: let Fred, I'll get into the business. Let the sunny
Speaker 1: Sunny has made for this business. I never wanted this
Speaker 1: for Michael. I never wanted this for Don Jr. And
Speaker 1: yet they they keep dragging my family in. They always
Speaker 1: talk the carl Only this, the Carlionly family that they
Speaker 1: talk about, the Trump crime family this. Why don't they
Speaker 1: talk about the Clinton Granme family. Oh, the Mother cran family.
Speaker 1: Why don't they talk about they call me grand family.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the car, all right, So
Speaker 1: I make a big deal last night. I had no
Speaker 1: idea that the President was tweeting out that to watch
Speaker 1: the show last night. I didn't even know until after
Speaker 1: the show started, which he's done before. And so I
Speaker 1: actually think because he was with Alan Dershowitz yesterday, Alan
Speaker 1: Dershowitz knew he was gonna be on last night, and
Speaker 1: so I'm assuming that the president knew that. And I
Speaker 1: may maybe knew that Joe de Jennifer was on. I
Speaker 1: didn't tell him Joe the Jennifer was on. What most
Speaker 1: people don't under stand, I actually, in spite of the
Speaker 1: fact that I begin the process of writing my nightly
Speaker 1: monologue all day long and and putting my notes together
Speaker 1: and doing my reading and preparing all through this show. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sending notes, add this, add this, add this,
Speaker 1: add this, just like all day long, I'm sending stuff
Speaker 1: to my radio team. We're gonna add this. I want
Speaker 1: this tape, I want that table, Let's get that, guess,
Speaker 1: let's do this. That's just the way we fly. And
Speaker 1: I'm literally working up till, you know, two minutes to
Speaker 1: nine every night, putting the final touches on what becomes
Speaker 1: our opening monologue. On TV and radio, it's more free form,
Speaker 1: and I don't prepare, and opening monologue is as the
Speaker 1: same way that you do on television. Um. And so
Speaker 1: I knew last night that when I started here on
Speaker 1: the radio, it's just started beginning to to sink in
Speaker 1: with me. So I decided, well, if that's gonna be
Speaker 1: the comy standard, that We're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: say refer to people as being parts of mobsters or
Speaker 1: the head of a mob family. Mobs families that, let's say, murder,
Speaker 1: you know, are involved in drug dealing and prostitution and
Speaker 1: extortion and money laundering and all types of racketeering. If
Speaker 1: that's Comey's comment, Okay, let's use the Coeny standard. And
Speaker 1: so I went on the air and I said, okay, well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Clinton crime family, Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the Mueller crime family. Let's talk about the Coeny crime family.
Speaker 1: And anyway, so throughout the day we were making these
Speaker 1: charts sort of like an FBI chart. Remember the movie
Speaker 1: about Frank Lucas that had Denzel Washington and who else
Speaker 1: was in it, uh Russell Crowe was in it. Well,
Speaker 1: they actually had a you know, a board on the
Speaker 1: board you have, Okay, this is the head of the
Speaker 1: crime family. Then you got the soldiers, and then you
Speaker 1: got the compos and then you got the consiguliari, and
Speaker 1: you've got this person and that person and associates or whatever,
Speaker 1: and they and it begins to fan out in terms
Speaker 1: of your putting together whatever, you know, crimes that they
Speaker 1: might have committed in a search to get indictable crimes
Speaker 1: or whatever. All right, So I did that with him,
Speaker 1: and the media stupid that the media is like they're
Speaker 1: tweeting amongst themselves because they live in this bubble that
Speaker 1: somehow that this came out of just thin air, and
Speaker 1: then they're not understanding that. Okay, that's your guy's standard.
Speaker 1: They loved Comey, now they hated Comy. Then it's actually
Speaker 1: a great NewsBusters piece flashbacked before they loved James Comey.
Speaker 1: The liberal media trash James Comey, which we just played
Speaker 1: some of it for you. So I went into this
Speaker 1: whole thing and you literally have everybody now breathlessly waiting
Speaker 1: for this interview with George Stephanopolis and waiting what does
Speaker 1: what does Comey say about Donald Trump? And and that's
Speaker 1: what that promo for ABC was all about. But if
Speaker 1: we're gonna compare people to mob bosses like what al
Speaker 1: Capone or Lucky Luciano or uh, maybe we'll compare him
Speaker 1: to John Gotti? Who who else do you want to
Speaker 1: compare him to? So if James Comey wants to do
Speaker 1: use that standard, I said, okay, well we'll use your standard.
Speaker 1: You know what he's doing it to make himself look good.
Speaker 1: He wants to make money in all of this. And
Speaker 1: if they're gonna use the sweeping broad generalization and analogy,
Speaker 1: I said, okay, we'll do the same thing back to you.
Speaker 1: And I said, let's talk about a family responsible for
Speaker 1: actual crimes. That's the Clinton crime family. Again Comey's analogy.
Speaker 1: But when you think about it, we know Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: committed crimes. We know that you're not allowed to do
Speaker 1: the things that she did with her hard drive and
Speaker 1: obstruct justice the way she did. You know, all of
Speaker 1: these things. And then Comey and Struck and Page and
Speaker 1: and McCabe and everybody else, their insurance policy, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: You don't write exonerations before investigations. You don't do that,
Speaker 1: you know. I thought it was so bad that foreign
Speaker 1: nationals would try to influence America's elections. Well, Hillary Clinton's
Speaker 1: campaign in the d n C funneled money through a
Speaker 1: law firm hiring Fusion GPS, which hired a foreign now
Speaker 1: sho old Christopher Steele, who then went and got Russian
Speaker 1: lies and Russian government lies so they can manipulate the
Speaker 1: American voters. In the last election, I thought, that's what
Speaker 1: I thought, That's what Mueller's mandate was supposed to be about.
Speaker 1: But they don't care about it because it doesn't have
Speaker 1: the word Trump in it. It's only this. This is
Speaker 1: the danger here, the two tier justice system, one system
Speaker 1: of justice for them, one rule of law for them,
Speaker 1: and the something different entirely for the rest of us.
Speaker 1: And so and then of course, lying to AFIS a
Speaker 1: court judge, so you can spy on an American, you're
Speaker 1: shredding the constitution if you're if literally you have people
Speaker 1: that are allowed to go before a FIS a court judge,
Speaker 1: and the bulk of the information they're presenting to the
Speaker 1: judge didn't wasn't vetted, wasn't corroborated as required by the
Speaker 1: fis A law, as required by FBI protocol. It becomes
Speaker 1: the bulk of information something that had already been denied
Speaker 1: a FIS a warrant on a Trump campaign associate. And
Speaker 1: that what put it over the top. Andrew McCabe's own words,
Speaker 1: if there was no dossier, then they wouldn't have even
Speaker 1: benifies the application, so that that that dossier was everything
Speaker 1: to getting a warrant to spy on an American citizen,
Speaker 1: and to get it, they lied before a phis A
Speaker 1: Court judge in their phis A Court application, both in
Speaker 1: what they said which wasn't verified, which wasn't corroborated, which
Speaker 1: is their responsibility, and by what they omitted that Hillary,
Speaker 1: an opposition party candidate, had paid for the entire thing.
Speaker 1: It sounds like crimes were committed, doesn't it. And this
Speaker 1: is why again we sit on a two tier justice system,
Speaker 1: especially when we have the UH, the FBI, and the
Speaker 1: dj sitting on a million two documents and then not
Speaker 1: producing them in a Congress which has congressional and constitutional
Speaker 1: authority and oversight. We'll get to all of this here
Speaker 1: and in the media. By the way, it was like
Speaker 1: alka seltzer and water. They bubbled and fish. As I
Speaker 1: anticipated last night. See what's happening is the American people
Speaker 1: fundamentally see a double standard and fundamental unfairness that has
Speaker 1: emerged in all of this. And that's why the President's
Speaker 1: approval ratings keep going up and up and up and
Speaker 1: up every day. You know, look at yesterday for example. Finally,
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein, I guess who met with the President at
Speaker 1: the White House over quote routine matters? Uh, I would
Speaker 1: assume the president knows that he's gonna race back to
Speaker 1: his computer and take notes the way Comey did, only
Speaker 1: for Trump, not for anybody else anyway. So you know,
Speaker 1: look at look at what it took to get Devin
Speaker 1: Newness and Trey Goudy to get to see the two
Speaker 1: page document that apparently led to the original decision to
Speaker 1: to look into Trump Russia collusion. I mean, it always
Speaker 1: has to get pushed to a crisis point. Now we
Speaker 1: have uh Bob goodlatt House Judiciary. They want one point
Speaker 1: two million documents and not being turned over. Tom Fitton
Speaker 1: at that judicial watches talent told it's gonna take three
Speaker 1: years to get the struck page emails finally through the
Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act. And what you have is Rod
Speaker 1: Rosenstein compiling, you know, complying, you know, only with the
Speaker 1: demand on the two pages. Only after it's it's brought
Speaker 1: to a crisis point. New Nest demanded that the document
Speaker 1: be unredacted. What Rosenstein ended up turning over was minimally
Speaker 1: redacted for national security reasons. But they don't want to
Speaker 1: give over any of this information. And then we all
Speaker 1: sit back and we're wondering, Okay, we know Hillary committed felonies.
Speaker 1: We know the fix was in that they rigged the
Speaker 1: investigation into Hillary's email server. We've had over a year now,
Speaker 1: the Inspector General doing whatever he's supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1: We keep getting that pushed back. We have any update
Speaker 1: when we might finally get the Inspector General's report, No,
Speaker 1: nobody knows that goes on. Now we have the inspector general.
Speaker 1: Immediately thereafter he well, then he's gonna begin the process
Speaker 1: of now looking in the FISA abuses. And yet every
Speaker 1: single day you got Mueller and this corrupt team with him,
Speaker 1: Andrew Weissman, and all of these Obama Clinton donors he
Speaker 1: put together. You don't want fairness if you appoint Andrew Weisman.
Speaker 1: You want the most ruth ruthless people if you hire
Speaker 1: Andrew Weisman. And then, by the way, and that also too.
Speaker 1: I guess this guy on CNN is all angry that
Speaker 1: I have dared to question the integrity and the narrative
Speaker 1: about um, about Bob rob Muller, I'm like, well, look
Speaker 1: what he did in the Anthrax case. Look what he
Speaker 1: did in the Whitey Boulger case. That was another thing.
Speaker 1: Whitey Boulger's picture was on the Mueller Crime Family thing
Speaker 1: that we put together the last night in response to
Speaker 1: the COMI standard. Oh what, he's comparing him to Whitey Boulger.
Speaker 1: They're so stupid in the media. They don't even know
Speaker 1: about Robert Muller and the white he bowled your case.
Speaker 1: It's it takes my breath away, but shouldn't, but it does.
Speaker 1: Till the top of the hour. All right, I gotta
Speaker 1: send this out la lat dot dot dot. Okay, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: it's riveting radio exactly. Well. I'm trying to do things
Speaker 1: that are good for the show and trying to get
Speaker 1: things in order so we can have a perfect show today.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to do. But Ethan keeps screwing
Speaker 1: up my call screener here and it just doesn't read. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. I think you need to come just
Speaker 1: throw me under the bus. Thanks. Alright, it's a mess
Speaker 1: right now, so if you need to come in, because
Speaker 1: it's not just went down again. So now Linda has
Speaker 1: to come in and do your job again because you
Speaker 1: didn't fix it the last time. But you're just lucky
Speaker 1: because I saw that you didn't fix it right, because
Speaker 1: otherwise she would have said no, no, no, that's my fault,
Speaker 1: which would have been a total light of the audience
Speaker 1: because sometimes servers go down. I walked out of the
Speaker 1: room and it went down again. So Rosenstein turns over minimally,
Speaker 1: minimally reda did memos, but he doesn't release anything. You know, now,
Speaker 1: I know when is the Attorney General gonna step in
Speaker 1: and say, release the information as it relates to fis abuses,
Speaker 1: Released the information as it relates to the investigation of
Speaker 1: the Clinton email server. Released the information that we've got
Speaker 1: on Bruce and Nelly, or on Rod Rosenstein's conflicts. Release
Speaker 1: what we know about Mueller and fights, abuse and everything
Speaker 1: in between, and what most people are now recognizing. Are
Speaker 1: you going to stand here the whole show? It's fine,
Speaker 1: so annoying when you're standing over my shoulder. Are you done?
Speaker 1: Thank you? All right? At least it's fixed. At least
Speaker 1: it's fixed, thank you. Uh. You know, the media can't
Speaker 1: seem to make up their mind about what Robert Mueller
Speaker 1: was looking for when he ordered the raid of Michael
Speaker 1: Cohen's office and apartment the other day in this hotel room.
Speaker 1: You know. First, remember it was supposed to be about
Speaker 1: the payoff that was may to Storey Daniel in that
Speaker 1: particular case, then it was well, the National Enquirer paid
Speaker 1: Karen McDougall. You know, I guess what they buy and
Speaker 1: kill whatever they call that whole that whole strategy that choosed.
Speaker 1: In other words, they paid for the story. By the way,
Speaker 1: I thought contract law was legal in America. In other words,
Speaker 1: let's say I want to make a deal with somebody. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's X dollars. You give me this an exchange, or
Speaker 1: you don't say this an exchange, or you say this
Speaker 1: and you know when you can't lie if it's before court.
Speaker 1: But let's assuming that it's just you decide to pay
Speaker 1: somebody um to keep embarrassing information you don't want out
Speaker 1: in the public out of the public, and you're paying
Speaker 1: for it. Okay, how is that illegal? Can somebody explain
Speaker 1: that to me? It's nobody's forcing anybody to take the money,
Speaker 1: nobody's forcing anybody to sign the contract. Nobody's made an
Speaker 1: allegation that you're being forced to do it. But in
Speaker 1: exchange for your silence, you get X number of dollars.
Speaker 1: That's called the cont track. I thought we had contract
Speaker 1: law in America. I know the great one. Mark Levin
Speaker 1: had this uh had this guy on who was the
Speaker 1: former FBC chairman. He says, this is not an inkind
Speaker 1: donation issue as it relates to Michael Cohen, and he's
Speaker 1: exactly right. It's not an inkind donation issue at all.
Speaker 1: But if you see now, if you go from Stormy
Speaker 1: and then you go to Karen McDougall, and then you
Speaker 1: go to the Access Hollywood tape, I mean, is there
Speaker 1: nothing that they're not going to follow here? And if
Speaker 1: somebody can somehow tie this back into Russia for me,
Speaker 1: I'd really appreciate it because there doesn't seem to be
Speaker 1: any Russia connection here. Here's the story about Mark Levin
Speaker 1: and the interview that he did. He interviewed the former
Speaker 1: Excuse Me f VC chairman who explained why a hush
Speaker 1: money payment to Stormy Daniels can't be considered an inkind
Speaker 1: contribution of the Trump campaign and thus violating campaign finance laws.
Speaker 1: And the professor, his name is Bradley Smith, used to
Speaker 1: be the head of the FEC. He said, when the
Speaker 1: FEC wrote the regulation that says what constitutes campaign expenditures
Speaker 1: and what constitutes personal use, it rejected specifically the idea
Speaker 1: that a campaign expenditure was anything related to a campaign,
Speaker 1: and instead it says it has to be something that
Speaker 1: exists only because of the campaign and solely for that reason. Well,
Speaker 1: it can't be solely for that reason when this is
Speaker 1: the personal attorney who represents the business interests of a
Speaker 1: then candidate Donald Trump, because I'm sure for those purposes
Speaker 1: to probably the deal would have been made on on
Speaker 1: that point. You know, it seems to me that one
Speaker 1: thing my friend David Shown pointed this out in an
Speaker 1: email to me today that maybe the President can think
Speaker 1: about is, you know, when they when people enter into
Speaker 1: these confidential agreements, these settlement agreements. You know, here's another thing.
Speaker 1: You know, you keep hearing about all these settlements that
Speaker 1: are made, all these quote nondisclos your agreements that are made,
Speaker 1: and then everybody wants more money later. Well, at that point,
Speaker 1: are they violating the terms of the deal. Shouldn't they
Speaker 1: have to give the money back at least? Just I'm listen,
Speaker 1: these are simple questions or does that is that just totally,
Speaker 1: incompletely and utterly meaningless anyway, if it um, you know,
Speaker 1: conventional wisdom is that you know, the government is trying
Speaker 1: to make here the payments and nondisclosure demands in connection
Speaker 1: with the payments are in kind donations. I think the
Speaker 1: line of defense was laid out pretty good by this
Speaker 1: attorney that Mark interviewed last night. And maybe it's not
Speaker 1: ideal if it means revealing, you know, whatever information and
Speaker 1: whatever information you want to reveal here. But the question
Speaker 1: though is whether Mr Khne, you know, did he do
Speaker 1: it to help the Trump organism? How would you even
Speaker 1: know or or what if he did it? You know?
Speaker 1: My impression of this is simple. My impression of it
Speaker 1: is because I knew the relationship with with Michael Cohen,
Speaker 1: who was on this program. He was never part of
Speaker 1: the and paign, never part of the transition, never part
Speaker 1: of the the President's cabinet, or never part of the
Speaker 1: presidential anything to do with Donald Trump when he once
Speaker 1: he got in office. But I do know that Michael
Speaker 1: was extraordinarily loyal to the president, to Donald Trump the person.
Speaker 1: And what I guess is over the years fifteen years
Speaker 1: that probably there's been a whole lot of quote sticky
Speaker 1: situations that arise for people in business, and my guesses
Speaker 1: is that Michael's job I know the media like to
Speaker 1: refer to him as a what a fixer, my guesses,
Speaker 1: and I believe this with all my heart. He probably
Speaker 1: jumped on the grenade because he saw a problem that
Speaker 1: needed to be fixed for his boss. In the context
Speaker 1: that this is my client, I'll make this go away
Speaker 1: for him, and that that makes perfect sense. Now you
Speaker 1: might say a hundred and thirty grand and you don't
Speaker 1: ask your boss if you can spend that money. Well,
Speaker 1: he says he spent his own money because it was
Speaker 1: in the middle of the campaign, and he says said
Speaker 1: forget and I'll just take care of it and formed
Speaker 1: an LLC. I don't know what the whole financial arrangement
Speaker 1: thing is of it, but it is a pretty amazing
Speaker 1: time that we're living in as it relates to all
Speaker 1: of this, I will tell you that. And I really
Speaker 1: just can't believe. We know this is now where the
Speaker 1: country is, This is where our focus is at this
Speaker 1: particular time. You know all these stories. Now the media
Speaker 1: is now back in love with James Coomy. By the way,
Speaker 1: Joy Behar comparing Trump to Kim Jong un, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is where we've now sunk to in the country.
Speaker 1: What is I kind of remember the good old days
Speaker 1: when he was friends with dictators, because now that he's
Speaker 1: threatening them, I don't know which one scared. That's the
Speaker 1: point of mc nerl Bell where we have to rely
Speaker 1: on the sanity of Kim Jong un and putin over
Speaker 1: the president of the United States. That's where we're at
Speaker 1: the whole family because his one of the Russian Prime Minute,
Speaker 1: one of the guys over there said, we do not
Speaker 1: one of one of the guys over there you think
Speaker 1: Kim Jong is less Trump? Yeah, oh my god. And
Speaker 1: right now topic canical gassing of children. Last time I checked,
Speaker 1: America isn't doing that to anyone. I think the show
Speaker 1: is unwatchable and unlistenable. And Megan mccame made a great point.
Speaker 1: She deserved the applause that she got there. And what
Speaker 1: was up with Whoopie Goldberg suggesting a about riots. Listen
Speaker 1: to this into pontificating about something that hasn't happened. That's
Speaker 1: going on a lot of unnamed sources. So I don't
Speaker 1: think that we should get too far ahead of our skis.
Speaker 1: I do think everything you're saying about what would happen
Speaker 1: if he does fire Muller. I've said Lindsay Graham has
Speaker 1: said it's political suicide. I think there would be. I
Speaker 1: think the would actually be writing in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: I think it would be I have to say, what
Speaker 1: it play that again, because I didn't fully hear it,
Speaker 1: play again, pontificating about something that hasn't happened. That's going
Speaker 1: on a lot of unnamed sources. So I don't think
Speaker 1: there was should get too far out of our skis.
Speaker 1: I do think everything you're saying about what would happen
Speaker 1: if he does fire Muller I've said Lindsay Graham is
Speaker 1: that it's political suicide. I think there would be. I
Speaker 1: think they'd actually be writing in Washington, d C. I
Speaker 1: think it would be to say they hear it at
Speaker 1: the end. That would be fun to watch rioting. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: I guess you can say anything if you're on the
Speaker 1: left wing side of the political spectrum. Pretty much, it's
Speaker 1: free rain to just say anything that you want. Here.
Speaker 1: That's pretty outrageous. Steve Bannon has a plan to derail
Speaker 1: the Mueller witch hunters. Apparently he's uh wants to put
Speaker 1: out a battle plan. Washington Post reporting that his proposal
Speaker 1: is that to protect the President. As this now goes
Speaker 1: further and further into the weeds, the multi pronged approach
Speaker 1: would be to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod rosen Steam. Well,
Speaker 1: I think actually the Congress should do that, And Joe
Speaker 1: Degennivis said as much last night. I think that's Congress's
Speaker 1: role for being con lifted number one, instructing the White
Speaker 1: House to stop cooperating. Well, yeah, that's obvious. We're not
Speaker 1: going to cooperate with the special Muller, with the special
Speaker 1: counsel anymore. Robert Mueller. Look at the duplicitest way he
Speaker 1: was negotiating with the with the President's legal team. Nobody's noticed,
Speaker 1: by the way, that Russia totally blinked on this whole
Speaker 1: Seria thing, just like the Chinese blinked, just like apparently
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un blinked. When the president will never get
Speaker 1: credit for any of the good things that he's doing.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our phone's bills in Houston, Texas. Bill,
Speaker 1: how are you? You're on the Sean Hannity Show. What's
Speaker 1: going on, sir? Doing great? Sean. It's good to hear you, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: welcome aboard. I'm calling about the the warrant that was
Speaker 1: obtained to search the offices and home of our president's
Speaker 1: private attorney. All the pundits are talking about how the
Speaker 1: standard for such a warrant is so very high, and
Speaker 1: yet wasn't the standard very high to obtain a faisal warrant?
Speaker 1: And yet that stuff was try? It's higher? What kind
Speaker 1: of evidence? What kind of evidence did they really have?
Speaker 1: We know what the evidence was. We remember that who
Speaker 1: was the judgment granted it. We we know the answers
Speaker 1: to these questions in this sense. We know that the
Speaker 1: bulk of information, remember the fieser warrant, the original warrant
Speaker 1: that they tried back in July. It didn't pass muster,
Speaker 1: they were denied, which rarely happens, to be honest, that's
Speaker 1: kind of rare. And then the bulk of the application
Speaker 1: as it relates to Carter Page Trump campaign associate, became
Speaker 1: the dossier, the unverified, uncorroborated, frankly lying dossier that Hillary
Speaker 1: paid for. And to quote Andrew McCabe, if there's no dossier,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have even been another Phis application. So that's
Speaker 1: where it came from. It just built onlines, all right, Bill,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mark Pittsburgh. How are you what's going on, Mark?
Speaker 1: Because I was told to be Um, Hillary ran money
Speaker 1: for the dossier through a legal firm, ostensibly to gain
Speaker 1: client attorney privilege. Correct, Hillary, you mean Perkins Coohie. Yes,
Speaker 1: you ran the money for the through Perkins Coups. Well,
Speaker 1: they also did it for another reason, because they wanted
Speaker 1: to have it down as a legal expense, not a
Speaker 1: dig up dirt expense. But it was also attorney client privilege. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably that would be Probably, that would be true. You're right,
Speaker 1: I haven't even thought about that. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: And so you have the same thing with Trump. Correct,
Speaker 1: Yet they raid his attorney's office. Listen, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: believe that that there's equal justice under the law. When
Speaker 1: they finally raided Hillary's attorneys home, an office, and hotel room,
Speaker 1: I'll believe it that I'm sixty years old, that will
Speaker 1: never happen in my lifetime. No, it was not. And
Speaker 1: at my point, remember I've been now saying for over
Speaker 1: a year, this is about the constitution, the rule of law,
Speaker 1: equal applicant sation of the laws. Uh, equal justice under
Speaker 1: the law. And you have felonies we know committed and
Speaker 1: we don't hear anything about it, But for shows like this,
Speaker 1: it's really sad and it's all part of a concerted effort.
Speaker 1: The media hates Trump, the five forces. I always talk
Speaker 1: about the deep state, the media, Uh, Democrats, weak Republicans,
Speaker 1: never Trumpers. They nothing that this president does will be
Speaker 1: good enough for them, and they just want him out
Speaker 1: of office to say that they were right. Tommy Milwaukee
Speaker 1: will give you the last minute of this hour. How
Speaker 1: are you, sir? A fine, thank fine, Thank you. Greg
Speaker 1: Jared posed the question on the Sean Hannity Show several
Speaker 1: shows ago. He's said, well, you know, I'm I'm so
Speaker 1: flustered with this that just Essens is just sitting like
Speaker 1: a bump on the log I have to ask the question,
Speaker 1: is he in on it? You know? He starts his
Speaker 1: Attorney General appointment with the seat. He knew he was
Speaker 1: going to refuse himself from the Russia probe, and he
Speaker 1: went ahead and did it anyway for selfish reasons. The
Speaker 1: results of that is to leave the President twisting in
Speaker 1: the wind with a Russian probe that gives Rosenstein no
Speaker 1: boundaries at all to instruct Mueller on In November of
Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee he's very disrespectful to Jim Jordan's and
Speaker 1: he's staunchly defends Rosenstein. He blocks the second Special Council,
Speaker 1: which has YEA indications for crime. There's no document release,
Speaker 1: and he just sits there and does absolutely nothing. So
Speaker 1: and if you fire Um Rosenstein, the shocker of the lifetime.
Speaker 1: First of all, he can't be fired by the by
Speaker 1: the Congress because the Senates, You've got two no votes
Speaker 1: with the two swamp snapping turtle senators from Arizona that
Speaker 1: are never going to vote for that because they hate
Speaker 1: Trump so much. The shocker of your lifetime is going
Speaker 1: to be if you fire Rosenstein, Sessions is still gonna
Speaker 1: do nothing. He's gonna Sessions needs to walk into Rod
Speaker 1: rosen Stein's office and start to ending answers immediately. And
Speaker 1: Rosenstein should have been recused a long time ago. All right,
Speaker 1: as we roll along Sean Hannity Show, all right, there
Speaker 1: is one civil libertarian in the United States Senate. His
Speaker 1: name is Rand Paul. We'll check in with him. We'll
Speaker 1: get his take on the rate of Michael Kohn and
Speaker 1: what he thinks about the Special Counsel and what he
Speaker 1: thinks about the slow walking by the Department of Justice
Speaker 1: and the FBI as it comes to real abuse of
Speaker 1: power that's coming up. Busy day. Herschel Walker also checks
Speaker 1: in Straight Ahead, all Right an hour to Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: Show E Nining for One. Shawn is a toe free
Speaker 1: telephone number. Peter Strock and Lisa Page are enemies of
Speaker 1: President Trump. They were spending time at work trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how to keep him from being president, and
Speaker 1: if he were president, trying to have some sort of
Speaker 1: insurance policy too, I guess, prevent him from acting as president. Uh.
Speaker 1: There you're hearing from Rand Paul as it relates to
Speaker 1: Peter Struck and Lisa Page, And yeah, they're still actually
Speaker 1: working and they have access to confidential limb for nation,
Speaker 1: which is unbelievable to me. And Ran Paul I got
Speaker 1: a note from Sergio yesterday and I couldn't believe my eyes.
Speaker 1: Sergio works for WRND, and it literally pointed out that
Speaker 1: Lisa Page and Peter Struck to Trump hating love birds
Speaker 1: that were engaged in the insurance policy. We believe with
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe, we believe just in case Donald Trump won,
Speaker 1: uh deep state actors that they still have access to
Speaker 1: all those classified information. How is that possible, Senator? And
Speaker 1: how are you very good? Thanks for having me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I asked the FBI director. I sent a letter to
Speaker 1: him about three months ago, and I said, Competer Strock
Speaker 1: and Lisa Page, Uh, do they still have top security clearance?
Speaker 1: Can they access Americans data? Could they type in Trump
Speaker 1: supporters names into the computer and find out information about them?
Speaker 1: Could they even type the President's name in? Could they
Speaker 1: type in national security adviser? Could they type in your name,
Speaker 1: my name and the answer came back. They wouldn't tell
Speaker 1: us specifically about Peter Strock and Lisa Page, but they
Speaker 1: said all agents have to have top secret clearance, which
Speaker 1: means if they're still agents, they have not been restricted
Speaker 1: in any way. And that's very worrisome to me because
Speaker 1: I think these people showed such hatred and such uh
Speaker 1: you know, sort of inappropriate work type discussion about bringing
Speaker 1: down a sitting president that they have no place in
Speaker 1: the FBI. And if they're there and they're still able
Speaker 1: to search a database, it should scare every American. Well,
Speaker 1: what I mean this is the whole point. And you
Speaker 1: were one of the few people that I thought in
Speaker 1: Congress shockingly that really understands how deep and profoundness is
Speaker 1: that that the FBI would raid in the early morning
Speaker 1: hours the home in the office and the hotel room
Speaker 1: of the president's personal attorney. And I know they're supposed
Speaker 1: to have, you know, a taint squad, that's that will
Speaker 1: filter through all the information and not use anything that
Speaker 1: they shouldn't use. To me, I don't have confidence in
Speaker 1: anybody at this particular point in time, especially after all
Speaker 1: that we've learned in the last year about how deep
Speaker 1: state actors have been acting. The other point is is
Speaker 1: if you can read through, if the FBI can read
Speaker 1: through all of the private communications, how can they unknow
Speaker 1: that knowledge. Once they know that knowledge, what if they
Speaker 1: go to lunch and they say, you know what, you
Speaker 1: can't use this evidence, but I'll bet you if you
Speaker 1: look in so and so bank, you'll find that somebody
Speaker 1: may you know, may have abused the tax code system.
Speaker 1: And or if you look at this in this place
Speaker 1: by reading confidential information, there's all kinds of things you
Speaker 1: could go look for and have separate means of taking
Speaker 1: them to court. This is called parallel construction. You get
Speaker 1: your information illegally, but then you work the case up legitimately,
Speaker 1: and then you never tell the court that your initial
Speaker 1: tip was from illegal information that was gathered. But I
Speaker 1: think Alan Dershowitz, professor, has been really great on this,
Speaker 1: indicating that you really have a Fourth Amendment right to
Speaker 1: privacy and your records, and also a six Amendment right
Speaker 1: to have you know, privacy with your communications to your attorney,
Speaker 1: and those I think are breached by them going into
Speaker 1: Cohen's office like did. And I think it's it really
Speaker 1: shows how powerful your government is. If they can do
Speaker 1: this to a sitting president, imagine what they can do
Speaker 1: to just some average American who they say, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: we've decided that we're going after Trump supporters, or the
Speaker 1: r S decides we're going to go after the tax
Speaker 1: returns of people who contributed to Republicans. That's why what
Speaker 1: I've always argued for is even if everyone were a saint,
Speaker 1: even if everyone were good that worked in the agency,
Speaker 1: I would say you still need you should have to
Speaker 1: ask a judge for a warrant. So an independent person says,
Speaker 1: why do you want this information and why does it
Speaker 1: look like you're only searching Republicans records? Oh it seems
Speaker 1: that way now here, well, here's my situation. Here's the
Speaker 1: situation we now find ourselves. And there's no evidence of
Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion, but we do know certain things have occurred.
Speaker 1: And if we're gonna have equal justice under the law,
Speaker 1: equal applications under the law, I think my audience and
Speaker 1: everybody in the country that's been following the evidence that
Speaker 1: I have been presenting on a regular basis for over
Speaker 1: a year. We do know that Hillary fixed the primary.
Speaker 1: Nobody seems to care about the primary fixing with Bernie
Speaker 1: put that aside. We do know that Hillary deleted thirty
Speaker 1: three thousand subpoena emails. We do know that she acid
Speaker 1: washed and and bleach bitter hard drive and beat up
Speaker 1: her devices with hammers or had people do it for.
Speaker 1: We do know that Comey struck Uh in particular. We're
Speaker 1: writing an exoneration of Hillary Clinton in early May, and
Speaker 1: they never interviewed her or seventeen other witnesses until July,
Speaker 1: and two days later they exonerated her. And I've never
Speaker 1: heard of an exoneration before the investigation, but it was
Speaker 1: being written. And then we have the Tarmac issue at
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton, and then we have Andrew
Speaker 1: McCabe Struck page, you know, and and their commentary back
Speaker 1: and forth about how much they hate Donald Trump. And
Speaker 1: yet Struck is in place in all of these investigations.
Speaker 1: And then you add the docier, which is Russian paid
Speaker 1: for lies to influence the general election. And then you
Speaker 1: have a pis a court lied to because they never
Speaker 1: told the FISA court judged the truth about where the
Speaker 1: information came from, nor did they verify it as by
Speaker 1: the law mandates. I think you'll know that there's equal
Speaker 1: justice in this country the day that the government raids
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's lawyer's office. So when that happens, then I'll
Speaker 1: stand up and say I'll believe they're really treating both
Speaker 1: sides equally. But no, they treated Hillary Clinton with kid gloves.
Speaker 1: They exonerated her and wrote the exoneration before they even
Speaker 1: interviewed her. They allowed many of their people to be
Speaker 1: interviewed together to hear each other's testimony, so it was
Speaker 1: consistent things that you never do. So basically Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: was given a pass. And now every power of the
Speaker 1: government is coming after after the president on these things.
Speaker 1: So no, I don't think we have equal justice. And
Speaker 1: I've said for a long, long time before President Trump
Speaker 1: even thought about running for president, I've said that all
Speaker 1: of our intelligence agencies should have a check in balance.
Speaker 1: They should all have to ask a judge for a warrant.
Speaker 1: And here's the interesting thing. If you talk to your
Speaker 1: local FBI agent or your local policeman, point nine percent
Speaker 1: of them, and in fact almost all of them know
Speaker 1: you have to follow the Fourth Amendment, and they do it,
Speaker 1: they diligently do it. You won't meet a local FBI
Speaker 1: agent and you will not meet a local policeman that
Speaker 1: doesn't know they have to call it judge before coming
Speaker 1: into someone's house or getting into their records. And yet
Speaker 1: when you get to headquarters up here, you've got all
Speaker 1: these people that have a political agenda. And so when
Speaker 1: you have Peter Strock and Lisa Page with that much power,
Speaker 1: I cannot believe they haven't been fired yet. And so really,
Speaker 1: until that happens, or until it all becomes public, why
Speaker 1: they're not being fired, Um boy, I would think that
Speaker 1: they would be suspended at the very least, and wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to search our records, because as we speak,
Speaker 1: both of them have full ability to search all Americans
Speaker 1: records in these databases. Yeah, so I guess you know
Speaker 1: when you say something, and this is really important. You know,
Speaker 1: everything that we're learning though, is that we don't have
Speaker 1: equal justice under the law. Do you believe that this
Speaker 1: effort with the special prosecutor and the way things have
Speaker 1: gone down here, do you think this is an effort
Speaker 1: to overturned a duly elected president? I think that, Uh.
Speaker 1: John Brennan, James Clapper, Uh, comy likely. You remember all
Speaker 1: the rumors right towards the end, and they were saying
Speaker 1: this right after the election. They were saying to ensure
Speaker 1: that the information got distributed. Basically, they broke a lot
Speaker 1: of their own rules and laws and they distributed stuff
Speaker 1: and sprinkled it throughout. But basically that was a conspiracy.
Speaker 1: People say, oh, they were doing it because it was
Speaker 1: they were being patriotic. No, it was a conspiracy because
Speaker 1: they lost the election. And if you don't believe that
Speaker 1: John Brennan and James Clapper are partisan hacks, just look
Speaker 1: at their interviews. You've got James Clapper out there spouting
Speaker 1: off about climate change. Now you've got John Brennan calling
Speaker 1: the president despicable and all these other horrible names. And
Speaker 1: these are the people that had the power to search
Speaker 1: every American's record and had so much power that they
Speaker 1: could take you down in a heartbeat. And you know,
Speaker 1: people should never forget what Chuck Schumer said. He said,
Speaker 1: the president has to be careful, or should be careful,
Speaker 1: because the Intelligence Agency get six ways to six Ways
Speaker 1: to Sunday. You know, we've had on this program. Bill Benny,
Speaker 1: and thirty four year professional at the n s A.
Speaker 1: He swears that every text, every email, every phone call
Speaker 1: is made metadata stored in places like Salt Lake City?
Speaker 1: Is that true? They were? And I thought they were
Speaker 1: supposed to stop with the reform from about a year ago,
Speaker 1: but yes, up until about a year ago, they were.
Speaker 1: And I think there was some provision for allowing some
Speaker 1: of that stuff to say, but it's not just metadata.
Speaker 1: If you've ever talked to anyone overseas, think about all
Speaker 1: the journalists at Fox News that call their journalists uh
Speaker 1: that are working in the Middle East all the time,
Speaker 1: or you email them. Those emails are monitored because they're
Speaker 1: part of this enormous foreign database and a lot of
Speaker 1: journalists are caught up in that. Should the government or
Speaker 1: American government who might not like Fox News, should they
Speaker 1: be allowed to search your journalist records right now they
Speaker 1: can without a warrant. So we had this big fight
Speaker 1: in Congress. I led the fight over here justin Amash
Speaker 1: and Thomas Massey on the other side to say that
Speaker 1: you should have to get a judge's warrant to search
Speaker 1: the database. It wasn't that we were opposed to searching
Speaker 1: the database. There may well be bad Americans. It could
Speaker 1: be dealing with a foreign terrorists, but ask a judge.
Speaker 1: The judges almost never say no. But if you have
Speaker 1: to ask a judge, guess what. You're not going to
Speaker 1: be able to search Republicans or Trump owners because someone
Speaker 1: would catch you. You don't have to ask a judge,
Speaker 1: and you can sit at your desk and search people.
Speaker 1: The possibility for abuse is amazing. It's endless. Do you
Speaker 1: think that when they didn't tell the FISA Court judges
Speaker 1: in their initial application the three subsequent applications, that in
Speaker 1: fact Hillary had paid for this dossier, that it was
Speaker 1: not verified, not corroborated, that it was a foreign national
Speaker 1: who did the investigation with Russian sources, even Russian government sources.
Speaker 1: When they made that application of the FISA Court and
Speaker 1: the subsequent renewals. Did they lie to that court? It's
Speaker 1: absolutely disin dishonest, disingenuous. Shouldn't happen. And when you're going
Speaker 1: to have a public investigation or even a private investigation
Speaker 1: of a presidential candidate for office, the bar I think
Speaker 1: has to be incredibly high. And then to publicly comment
Speaker 1: on it. This was James Comby's problem. James Comy thinks
Speaker 1: in his own head that he's some kind of hero.
Speaker 1: He is the biggest you know, he politicized and has
Speaker 1: destroyed the reputation of the FBI more than any person
Speaker 1: ever to leave the FBI. Truly believe that, and for
Speaker 1: for two reasons. Not only because he went after Trump,
Speaker 1: but he also went after Clinton in a public way.
Speaker 1: All of that investigation should have been done if it
Speaker 1: was done very very quietly, and the bar for doing
Speaker 1: it is significantly high. But he should have never been
Speaker 1: giving press conferences. Why won't they hand over the one
Speaker 1: point two million documents that have been subpoenaed by Congress?
Speaker 1: I heard uh, some Democrat on the news this morning saying, oh,
Speaker 1: because they don't like to so, and that the executive
Speaker 1: branches always resisted. But see, this is what oversights about.
Speaker 1: It's what checks and balances are about. Our founders wanted
Speaker 1: the legislature to be coequal with the executive branch. But
Speaker 1: ever since FDR and the Great Depression, that the executive
Speaker 1: branch has grown enormously and the legislative branches is a
Speaker 1: bunch of weaklings that don't want their power anymore. So
Speaker 1: the legislative branch rarely actually exerts themselves over the executive
Speaker 1: branch on on war or issues of regulations. So almost
Speaker 1: all the regulations that businesses suffer from are not from Congress.
Speaker 1: They're actually written by the executive branch. And we could
Speaker 1: stop it in a heartbeat, but you'd have to have
Speaker 1: stronger people in Congress who would say no more, We're
Speaker 1: not gonna let it happen. Yeah. Last thing I want
Speaker 1: to ask you, what do you think the president should
Speaker 1: do as it relates to this ongoing investigation. I think
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein has been conflicted from day one. I do
Speaker 1: believe it's a witch hunt. I now believe it's a
Speaker 1: fishing expedition. We are way beyond any mandate that as
Speaker 1: that relates to so called Trump Russia collusion or anything
Speaker 1: involved in the election at all, Uh, they have now
Speaker 1: backdoor their way into all of the president's personal records
Speaker 1: from when he was a citizen. And now they're talking
Speaker 1: about Stormy Daniels, the Access Hollywood tape and some woman
Speaker 1: named Karen McDougall. What does any of this have to
Speaker 1: do with Russia. Nothing to do with Russia. And that's
Speaker 1: why I've really decided, after thinking about this for a
Speaker 1: long time, I'm just sort of against the special prosecutors.
Speaker 1: I'm not for one on McCabe and Strack and all
Speaker 1: that too, because I think it just they run so
Speaker 1: far afield and nobody has really been indicted over Russian collusion.
Speaker 1: It's all over extraneous stuff. And I think if the
Speaker 1: full power of the government came on any individual and
Speaker 1: they looked at all your taxes for the last twenty years,
Speaker 1: can they find something where you didn't dot and I
Speaker 1: properly or cross it t you know, properly. So yes,
Speaker 1: I think that if you tried to go after with
Speaker 1: a full bully power of government, you can catch almost anybody.
Speaker 1: What should the president do The one thing he hasn't
Speaker 1: done that I think he could do, and that's to
Speaker 1: start to declassify things where the intelligence community has abused
Speaker 1: their power. So the Obama people, Brennan Clapper, you know,
Speaker 1: clap Or came to the Senate and lide and it's
Speaker 1: a felony, and nobody did anything about it. Now he's
Speaker 1: all over TV acting like he's some kind of angel
Speaker 1: criticizing the president, and yet James Clapper and the President
Speaker 1: could declassify all of that. Um. All right, well we've
Speaker 1: gotta let you go. Uh. Thank you for being one
Speaker 1: of the few people in Congress actually believing uh in
Speaker 1: civil liberties. I guess at this point it's pretty scary
Speaker 1: that you you stand there alone too often. Uh. Senator
Speaker 1: Ram Paul Kentucky eight nine one Shawn is a toll
Speaker 1: free telephone number. All right, we just heard from Senator
Speaker 1: Ram Paul. Let me take you back here. This is
Speaker 1: Senator Grassley of Iowa accusing the FBI of playing this
Speaker 1: hide the ball game on the Russia apprope for a
Speaker 1: long long time. We'll get to that next. I want
Speaker 1: you to just hear this specifically, I believe in transparency.
Speaker 1: We may agree that certain information should be released at
Speaker 1: the appropriate time. Would care to preserve classified information and
Speaker 1: the integrity of any investigation. I've already been pushing the
Speaker 1: Department to review the classified referral memorandum to confirm the
Speaker 1: mammals classification markings so that we can release the unclassified
Speaker 1: portions as soon as possible. But now the Department has
Speaker 1: deferred to the FBI, and the FBI is falsely claiming
Speaker 1: that three of our unclassified paragraphs each contained the same
Speaker 1: or single classified fact. Now that really surprised me, because
Speaker 1: these particular paragraphs are based on non government sources and
Speaker 1: do not claim to repeat or confirm any information from
Speaker 1: any government document. Even if these portions of our referral
Speaker 1: did reference the allegedly classified fact at issue, it is
Speaker 1: hard to understand why that fact should be classified. First,
Speaker 1: the Deputy Attorney General has discussed the fact at issue
Speaker 1: with me more more than once in an unsecured space
Speaker 1: and on an unsecured phone line. That'll tell you something,
Speaker 1: all right, when we come back, my buddy Major Dan Rooney,
Speaker 1: who is a fighter pilot PGA professional. Uh, he's here
Speaker 1: to help. Bowls of Honor that got two million bucks
Speaker 1: today from Budweiser. That's coming up next, A lot of
Speaker 1: your calls coming up straight ahead. The Great herschel Walker
Speaker 1: is going to join us later in the program as
Speaker 1: well as we continue donations keep this thing going all
Speaker 1: the month. Those two clauses like this. Corporations have stepped
Speaker 1: up too, but Budweiser gave you one point nine bud Wise.
Speaker 1: This is a beautiful story. You know. I went up
Speaker 1: and and a cold called Budweiser in St. Louis um
Speaker 1: seven years ago and they joined the Folds of Honor
Speaker 1: Mission have donated north of fifteen million dollars since we started,
Speaker 1: which was three thousand scholarships and a year point um.
Speaker 1: The need is great. Will have a record year put
Speaker 1: out nearly twenty million dollars in scholarships this year, but
Speaker 1: they'll be between seven and eight million and unfunded qualified requests.
Speaker 1: And that's why Fox and Friends, this nation has been
Speaker 1: so powerful to pick up the phone um to go
Speaker 1: to Folds of Honor dot organ and make a donation
Speaker 1: literally that will be deployed to send Sean and c
Speaker 1: J to school next year and another three There are
Speaker 1: people watching right now who would like to help. They
Speaker 1: can go to Folds of Honor dot org. Freedom and Free.
Speaker 1: Less than one half of one percent of this country
Speaker 1: suit up every day to defend our freedoms. All right.
Speaker 1: That was from Foxman Friends this morning. The announcement one
Speaker 1: point nine million dollars given the Folds of Honor is
Speaker 1: an amazing charity. Major Dan Rooney heads this up fighter pilot,
Speaker 1: also a p GA professional and a patriot and philanthropist,
Speaker 1: author of the book of Patriots calling Living Life Between
Speaker 1: Fear and Faith. And he's in studio. How are you,
Speaker 1: my friend, going to see you? Less to be here
Speaker 1: and don't bother reaching over. I'll reach all the week
Speaker 1: uh to get there? Uh bud wars. It gave you,
Speaker 1: guys one point nine million, amazing amount of money. What
Speaker 1: and Folds of Honor such a good charity. Tell us
Speaker 1: what you do with it? We provide scholarships for spouses
Speaker 1: and children who've had somebody killed or disabled defending our freedoms.
Speaker 1: And as you heard in that clip, well you know
Speaker 1: we started above our garage ten years ago. My my
Speaker 1: wife and I and I think in life wrote for
Speaker 1: all of us, I and we're we're busy. Everybody's at
Speaker 1: this frenetic pace and in your mind there a thousand
Speaker 1: reasons why it will never work. But that's what I
Speaker 1: when you talk about faith, and that's when God puts
Speaker 1: stuff in your heart and um, you know, I thank
Speaker 1: God every day that we started and we started from vapor.
Speaker 1: I mean you're looking at me. I am not smart.
Speaker 1: I had no money, no platform. Um, but we started
Speaker 1: above our garage and will award our twenty thousand scholarship
Speaker 1: this year. We put over a hundred million dollars out
Speaker 1: the door to these spouses and children and and just
Speaker 1: so blessed as the father of five. You know, I
Speaker 1: continue to fly fighter jets and you know, the worst
Speaker 1: nightmares is something happens to you as a military person
Speaker 1: to take care of your family. It's the it's the
Speaker 1: biggest fear. We forget that military families they pay a price.
Speaker 1: They sacrifice for the country as well, because literally every night,
Speaker 1: when they put their head down on that pillow, they're
Speaker 1: like thinking, oh, my loved one is in uh in
Speaker 1: an area of the world that's not safe. You don't
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. There's a lot of anxiety associated
Speaker 1: with the long periods where you're away from your family. UM.
Speaker 1: I just love a lot of these military charities and
Speaker 1: there's been so many that we've been able to support
Speaker 1: on the program, The Freedom Alliance Building homes for heroes,
Speaker 1: um rivers of recovery for these guys that have been
Speaker 1: suffering with PTSD and every one of them helps. And
Speaker 1: in your case, you're helping a lot of families every
Speaker 1: single day. And how do you how do you get
Speaker 1: to do that and be a professional golfer? You're on tour? No,
Speaker 1: like so I'm I'm a PGA club professional now, so
Speaker 1: I'm not on tour. What could you do for my
Speaker 1: golf game? Because I'm not the great, I'm never gonna
Speaker 1: be a good golfer because I don't have enough time
Speaker 1: to be a good golfer. Yeah, you never know, right, Um,
Speaker 1: you don't have enough time because you're out serving others
Speaker 1: and you're shot in the seventies maybe three times in
Speaker 1: my life, like seventy nine. You're dedicating yourself to a
Speaker 1: cause bigger than yourself when that is serving up God
Speaker 1: and country and traditional core mat But I want to
Speaker 1: be able to make a fort put I can't put.
Speaker 1: My putting is atrocious. I'll give you a putting lesson
Speaker 1: this summer. We'll come up and we'll work. But you're
Speaker 1: supposed to do it like a pendulum. Do it like
Speaker 1: I get the same lesson, and I'm like, you know it,
Speaker 1: just you know what? You know what all great putters
Speaker 1: have in common. What when they look at the hole,
Speaker 1: they look back and they put immediately. Most amateurs look
Speaker 1: at the hole and they sit over where they get
Speaker 1: target decay. They sit there and they do nothing, and
Speaker 1: they wait a couple of seconds and then they put.
Speaker 1: All great putters look at the whole, look back and go.
Speaker 1: But this is how Tiger does. I watched Tiger. He
Speaker 1: puts his hands like this and he's literally looking down
Speaker 1: the line and he's got a space three or four
Speaker 1: ft in front of him and he's gonna hit that.
Speaker 1: He knows the pacing because he's been you know, four
Speaker 1: thousand million hours of his life putting on a putting room.
Speaker 1: But uh, it's amazing, all right. So more importantly, and
Speaker 1: you still with the guard, right, yes, sir? Yeah? US
Speaker 1: Air Force Reserve Station at Tender Air Force Base and
Speaker 1: Panama City. I was going supersonic two days ago. Believes.
Speaker 1: When supersonic, what does that feel like? It feels awesome.
Speaker 1: It is the greatest feeling on earth. You're an adrenaline junkie.
Speaker 1: What were you flying? So I fly the I was
Speaker 1: an F sixteen guy. Now we fly T thirty eights
Speaker 1: down there were an aggressor's squadron, so we're dedicated red air.
Speaker 1: So it's like viper and top gun. That's what I do.
Speaker 1: So I'm like an expert on China and Russia and
Speaker 1: all these bad believables, and we make the guys going
Speaker 1: down range better and as a fighter pile. How long
Speaker 1: is it to take you to get How old were
Speaker 1: you when you train? And how long did it take
Speaker 1: you to become so proficient at it? So I was
Speaker 1: twenty seven and it's an amazing scholarship. Takes about two
Speaker 1: and a half years government spins. I don't know, between
Speaker 1: six and eight million dollars per pilot training nest to
Speaker 1: fly the F sixteen. So quite a scholarship, and I've
Speaker 1: been doing it niceteen years. Is reflective what really happens now,
Speaker 1: But you don't get to date the instructor. Now we
Speaker 1: don't play volleyball with our shirts off. But it's an
Speaker 1: awesome scholarship. But I'm still not any good it flying. Yes,
Speaker 1: I've been doing it man eighteen years, and I'm still
Speaker 1: not any good. You fly at F sixteen? Uh? Mock?
Speaker 1: What they go Mick two point five. Okay, do you
Speaker 1: now do you ever take people up that they throw up?
Speaker 1: Do you make them? Most people throw up? Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: taking a lot of people up. Why do they throw up?
Speaker 1: Just because it's a it's a very violent experience. I
Speaker 1: mean we pulled nine g s. It's like two thousand
Speaker 1: pounds of kinetic energy, you know, crushing down on your body.
Speaker 1: And could can you teach somebody not to throw up?
Speaker 1: It's like anything, it's just time you get your sea legs.
Speaker 1: So most pilots when we start out our training, we
Speaker 1: all get sick too, and just like keep sending you up,
Speaker 1: sending you up and finally get over it. And how
Speaker 1: many So what do you throw up in the bag
Speaker 1: the oxygen bag? Yeah, you throw up in the in
Speaker 1: the bag and you get right back at it. Uh,
Speaker 1: do you have an alternative bag? You can switch it
Speaker 1: to midflight? No? No, you're choking on your own puke
Speaker 1: though pretty much pretty much that's horrible. H Well, listen,
Speaker 1: Major Dan Rooney, we love having you back Folds of Honor.
Speaker 1: If people want to help, how can the day Folds
Speaker 1: of Honor dot org? Freedom? Freedom is not free. We
Speaker 1: got to buy one point five million dependents. Now that
Speaker 1: I've had somebody killed or disabled defending our freedoms, right,
Speaker 1: and this is an opportunity I think genuinely say thank
Speaker 1: you to our military is make sure that we don't
Speaker 1: leave any family behind. Good for you, so great to you.
Speaker 1: Not going to reach but you're not even I bless
Speaker 1: your golf game, yeah, and my martial arts probably more.
Speaker 1: We'll start working on that this summer. All right, Major,
Speaker 1: thank you a great American. You're a great American. Eight
Speaker 1: nine for one, Shawn, our toll free telephone number. All right,
Speaker 1: to our phones, we go. We've got Genie is in
Speaker 1: clear Water in Florida listening on w f L A.
Speaker 1: What's up, Jennie. How are you? Glad you called? Hi? Sean.
Speaker 1: It's great to talk to you, and I thank you
Speaker 1: for all that you do for the American people. Thank you.
Speaker 1: We truly now, we truly need a voice out there
Speaker 1: because we are trying to be silenced. And I would
Speaker 1: just like to say, according to this situation with Mueller,
Speaker 1: with going after Cohen, this is beyond the disgrace for
Speaker 1: the American people and the country, not just the president
Speaker 1: and Jeff Sessons It is time for you to ma
Speaker 1: and up and grow some balls, because when I see
Speaker 1: a snake out in my yard, which we have regular
Speaker 1: snakes and we have poisonous, you have to cut off
Speaker 1: the head of the snake, not the tail. Now, Rosenstein
Speaker 1: is the head, Mueller is the tail. Well, Rosenstein needs
Speaker 1: to go and he needs to everybody. Everybody knows that.
Speaker 1: But Sessions has to get the balls to fire him.
Speaker 1: That is not Trump's job. He needs to take the
Speaker 1: heat over this because he is the reason we are
Speaker 1: in the situation we are in. And American people can
Speaker 1: see this, and we are fed up with seeing the
Speaker 1: double standard that goes on day and day out. You're
Speaker 1: putting it out there, but we already know this. We
Speaker 1: see this, and we want action, and we want action now.
Speaker 1: We are fed up with all this dragging of the
Speaker 1: feet and with this the FBI. It's taken them so long.
Speaker 1: It's taken them so long. If there was any real
Speaker 1: proof or evidence, it would have come out months ago.
Speaker 1: But they are looking under every rock, every stone, every
Speaker 1: piece of dirt to try and find something because there
Speaker 1: is nothing. Because they are covering up for themselves all
Speaker 1: the terrible things that they have done to this country,
Speaker 1: not just this president, but to this country. And if
Speaker 1: you're an American citizen, you should be outraged at this
Speaker 1: point at what has gone on by the d o
Speaker 1: J and the FBI, and they need to clean house
Speaker 1: right from the get go. Sessions can't go because Rosenstein
Speaker 1: will be in his place, and god knows what will happen. Listen,
Speaker 1: you're you're dead on Politically, They've created a situation that
Speaker 1: is untenable for the president uh Rod Rosenstein. And that's
Speaker 1: why I like the idea that that people like Meadows
Speaker 1: and Jordan and everybody else are now saying, well, will
Speaker 1: if they don't turn over the documents that gives us
Speaker 1: all the information on FISA abuse, all the information on
Speaker 1: the past, the rigged investigation into Hillary, all the investigation
Speaker 1: into all of these corruption issues that we have been
Speaker 1: following that we know have happened. Then at some point
Speaker 1: there's they're just gonna have to do what they do,
Speaker 1: and that is, yeah, they're gonna have to hold them
Speaker 1: in contempt and yeah, they can impeach some of them,
Speaker 1: and that I think is where we're headed. And Rod
Speaker 1: Rosenstein is the one guy that doesn't want anything out
Speaker 1: at all period, as we have now witnessed again and
Speaker 1: again and again. All right, let's get to our busy
Speaker 1: telephones here one Shan is the number. Michelle and North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Next on the Sean Hannity Show, Michelle, how are you
Speaker 1: glad you called? Hey? Thank you, Sean. It's always an
Speaker 1: honor to talk to you. I agree completely with the
Speaker 1: caller that was just done, but I wanted to say
Speaker 1: thank you so much because what you're doing is you're
Speaker 1: educating the United States citizens, and that's what we need.
Speaker 1: I feel like what has happened is we have allowed
Speaker 1: comic core to completely change the mindset of everybody under
Speaker 1: thirty five. And they really believe that we live in
Speaker 1: a country that was founded by sexists and racists and
Speaker 1: a bunch of white men that came over here and
Speaker 1: their only desire was to, you know, murder Native Americans
Speaker 1: just to take their land. And they and they don't
Speaker 1: believe anymore that there are consequences to actions. Everybody is
Speaker 1: a victim, and everybody, because they're just simply breathing in
Speaker 1: the United States of America, deserves everything for free. And
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you look at all of these politicians
Speaker 1: and they're getting away with it. We were supposed to
Speaker 1: be the Land of the Free, in the home of
Speaker 1: the brave. We're supposed to have freedom and justice for everybody.
Speaker 1: Right now we have freedom for some and justice for none,
Speaker 1: because the criminals are not being brought, you know, they're
Speaker 1: not being brought to their knees. And and the people
Speaker 1: that are law abiding and love this country and are
Speaker 1: working hard, they're the ones who are paying the price
Speaker 1: for everybody else. And it makes absolutely no sense, it
Speaker 1: makes no common sense. And unless we uphold the Constitution
Speaker 1: the United States and we start holding people's feet to
Speaker 1: a fire, we will no longer be a constitutional republic.
Speaker 1: And let me just say that was the goal, it
Speaker 1: is the goal of the liberal movement. People say that
Speaker 1: that Hillary Clinton did not run on any platform. She
Speaker 1: absolutely did. She ran on the platform that she wanted
Speaker 1: open borders and she wanted abortion for the whole world
Speaker 1: and the United States to play pay for it. She
Speaker 1: ran on the platform that, yeah, the constitution, it's kind
Speaker 1: of outdated, kind of like Ruth Ginsburg said in two
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve, Uh, Egypt, don't look at our constitution
Speaker 1: when you're looking for a new government. For yourselves, because
Speaker 1: it really doesn't. It doesn't last right now, it's not
Speaker 1: really hip with the two thousands. Look at somebody else.
Speaker 1: And that's what's happening the in the people that are
Speaker 1: now in their thirties and their twenties, that have grown
Speaker 1: up under this education system that has lied about history,
Speaker 1: that has rewritten history, that has told them that they
Speaker 1: do not have to be responsible for anything. That the
Speaker 1: that's a wealthy white person is there enemy. They've been
Speaker 1: lied to, and thank you for telling us everyone. It's
Speaker 1: a lie. It's just simply a lie. James Comey is
Speaker 1: getting horrible advice. He is interfering in this election. I
Speaker 1: don't understand what the guy's doing, but just from pure
Speaker 1: political point of view, it's a nightmare for the Clint
Speaker 1: administration Clinton campaign. I know why they're upset. They should be.
Speaker 1: I think what Jim Comey did was to throw overboard
Speaker 1: Justice Department procedures because of political reasons, his own internal politics,
Speaker 1: because of the hatred for Hillary Clinton within the FBI.
Speaker 1: This is, uh, just the worst possible situation for the FBI,
Speaker 1: for the country, for Hillary Clinton. Certainly. What why throw
Speaker 1: that stink bomb in the middle of this You know
Speaker 1: at the very end of the campaign. I think that's
Speaker 1: that's a real big problem. It does seem like, uh,
Speaker 1: we have a problem with the FBI director at Comey
Speaker 1: has said high profile investigations make him feel pressure to
Speaker 1: do things quickly and do it well. Tonight, his critics
Speaker 1: are wondering if has failed on both counts. Howard Dean
Speaker 1: former Democratic Kennedy for president, says, quote, he may have
Speaker 1: destroyed the credibility of the FBI forever put himself on
Speaker 1: the same side as Putin. I think that was a
Speaker 1: horrendous decision on his part, in one that he should
Speaker 1: and probably does regret. It's clear that his disclosure and
Speaker 1: the spate of now competing one might even say warring
Speaker 1: FBI leagues that have followed, have raised serious questions about
Speaker 1: the FBI's integrity and impartiality. The FBI director of the
Speaker 1: United States is allowing himself to be interjected into this
Speaker 1: political campaign. Unprecedented. It's it's a precedent. It's a bad precedent.
Speaker 1: We have never seen this before. Do you think Camy
Speaker 1: has put the finger on the scale for Donald Trump?
Speaker 1: It just makes the FBI look like a like a
Speaker 1: wing of the Republican Party. I don't understand what com
Speaker 1: he's doing. That's my main thought about all this. And
Speaker 1: there's your liberal media for you. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to all of our callers and everybody writing
Speaker 1: me and looking at social media. The number one, I'm
Speaker 1: very impressed with how informed everybody is. In number two,
Speaker 1: this passion is gonna be needed because this is a true, real,
Speaker 1: clear present danger to the election of They want to
Speaker 1: undo the the election of we the people, and they
Speaker 1: think they know better than us. And all of that
Speaker 1: is true, and the double standards, you know, should discuss
Speaker 1: anybody that is that is open minded in any way.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, Michelle. Great call eight nine one
Speaker 1: sean al Right, News Roundup and information overload, our toll free,
Speaker 1: our telephone numbers eight D one sewn. You want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the program. You know. One of
Speaker 1: the things that a lot of people are talking about is,
Speaker 1: you know, in the age of Trump, in Obama even
Speaker 1: there's a lot of divisiveness in the country. You know.
Speaker 1: So I talked the other day, I said, you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have like we're getting to the point we're
Speaker 1: so dividing this country, we're gonna have a civil war.
Speaker 1: And I defined it. I said, you're gonna be sitting
Speaker 1: at the at the at the table with your family
Speaker 1: and your friends, and you're gonna start having ash potato fights.
Speaker 1: But on a serious side, it is kind of real
Speaker 1: and a lot of people take politics really personally. There
Speaker 1: are some people that would never ever ever want to
Speaker 1: talk to me because of my political points of view. Now,
Speaker 1: in a second, I'm gonna introduce you to a good
Speaker 1: friend of the program Sally Cone. She's got a brand
Speaker 1: new book out. It's called The Opposite of Hate of Field,
Speaker 1: Guide to Repairing Our Humanity. Uh. She actually mentions me
Speaker 1: a lot in the book. Um, not always flattering, most
Speaker 1: I'm kidding flattering, but here's some of the vitriol that
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. It. It is a weird tension. I
Speaker 1: think we're the dangerous time for the First Amendment and
Speaker 1: for the free press in this country. And at the
Speaker 1: same time we're udly influential with the guy who wants
Speaker 1: to kill us and to our detractors that insist that
Speaker 1: this march will never add up to anything, Thank you you,
Speaker 1: but this is the hallmark of revolution. Yes, I'm angry. Yes,
Speaker 1: I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot
Speaker 1: about blowing up the White House. You know, I had
Speaker 1: a dream the other night about that. I was playing
Speaker 1: golf with Donald Trump, and I was standing beside him
Speaker 1: with a club in my hand, and I was, you know,
Speaker 1: considering my options when I suddenly woke up. You know,
Speaker 1: it was one of those dreams when you want to
Speaker 1: just get back to sleep so you can finish it,
Speaker 1: you know. Put I'll put Mr Burgess up against Sean Hannity.
Speaker 1: I'll tell him up. I need you to go out
Speaker 1: and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors.
Speaker 1: I want you to talk to him, whether they're independent
Speaker 1: or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue
Speaker 1: with him and get in their faces. Press always asked me,
Speaker 1: I don't like worshiper or debating him. No, I wish
Speaker 1: you were in high school. I could take him behind
Speaker 1: the gym. That's what I wish. What we've got to
Speaker 1: do his fight in congverse, fight in the courts, fight
Speaker 1: in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box.
Speaker 1: And now there's the momentum to be able to do this.
Speaker 1: This is a death panel bill because people will die.
Speaker 1: This is deadly. This is deadly in your president is
Speaker 1: a dishonorable, lying man. Which enemy are you most proud of?
Speaker 1: Probably the Republicans? All right, Sally Cohen joins us. That's
Speaker 1: pretty intense stuff, the opposite of hate. A field guide
Speaker 1: on repairing our humanity. How are you, Sean? You look great.
Speaker 1: You look great too. You've been working out. I've been
Speaker 1: working on it. Actually, show five days a week. It's
Speaker 1: the mixed martial arts thing, that's correct. See and people wonder,
Speaker 1: what the hell do you talk about, Sean Hannon talk
Speaker 1: Hannity with about except for politics. I was like, we
Speaker 1: can cover mixed martial arts. We can cover our kids
Speaker 1: can cover. Well, that's the thing, you know. You We
Speaker 1: have had a personal relationship that goes back a number
Speaker 1: of years now. We've always gotten along. Your political views
Speaker 1: drive me insane. Same, I mean, yours drive me insane,
Speaker 1: not mine mine. I rather like mine. We've had some
Speaker 1: verbal knockdown drag out, but it was never personal. It
Speaker 1: shouldn't be. And I agree, yeah, and actually at different points,
Speaker 1: I remember you did one of those those five minute
Speaker 1: or ten minutes what do you call tours where with
Speaker 1: a big tour thing where you speak out and oh,
Speaker 1: Ted Talk, you're talking about this is one of those
Speaker 1: cultural divides. I can get you invited. But but but moving on,
Speaker 1: it's one of those cultural divides. We on the left
Speaker 1: the charge for those they're called speeches. Pay to see
Speaker 1: you doing Ted Talk. I already watched Sally Well have
Speaker 1: you do one together? To the left, it's the left.
Speaker 1: We don't pay for anything, um, but the left loves
Speaker 1: it's Ted Talks go on. So we so all these
Speaker 1: years we disagree. I'm watching your Ted Talk and we
Speaker 1: developed a friendship and I would throw little ideas because
Speaker 1: I'm looking at your career in business and I know
Speaker 1: you work for the fake news network now c h No, No,
Speaker 1: that was back in two ten when I worked with you. Sorry,
Speaker 1: go on, go on, but you did work. But you've
Speaker 1: been on TV a lot. And the point is, how
Speaker 1: do how is it that we get it right? Personally?
Speaker 1: I care about your family. I care you have a
Speaker 1: nine year old now I care. I don't care about
Speaker 1: sexual orientation. We have been friends and the things like
Speaker 1: like this book shows me how nice you are because
Speaker 1: you don't want to be You don't want you don't
Speaker 1: like fighting cat don't like people, Sean Hannity is saying,
Speaker 1: I'm not. But listen, and I gotta tell you, you
Speaker 1: know how much I'm gonna take. And I still have
Speaker 1: for being on the show. I still take for being
Speaker 1: on the show, for being friends with you. It's the
Speaker 1: number one thing people come up to ask me. They
Speaker 1: pull me aside, they say no, no, no, But Sean
Speaker 1: Hannity really nice, like I can tell them the truth, right,
Speaker 1: and the idea of what so we disagree, but like
Speaker 1: we but your your friends are probably horrified that I'm
Speaker 1: sitting here right, not all, not even not even a
Speaker 1: little bit really good because we have to stop that.
Speaker 1: They think I'm Satan, I mean in some lesser, slightly
Speaker 1: lesser form, like I don't know Satan's cousin or something.
Speaker 1: Is it all just politics. I just don't agree with
Speaker 1: my politics. But also, here's the thing, they don't actually
Speaker 1: know how much of your politics they agree with and
Speaker 1: don't write. They don't know because they know what we
Speaker 1: all know is the sliver of what we end up
Speaker 1: arguing about on television and in the media, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, is only a sliver of who we are
Speaker 1: as people, and only a sliver of our politics. All right,
Speaker 1: So even though we have dramatically varying political views, we
Speaker 1: can you know, I think it's the opposite of hate. Well, also,
Speaker 1: I'd rather argue with you and have you listen to me.
Speaker 1: Whereas if I call you a blankety blank, blank blank,
Speaker 1: you're gonna stop listening to me. I'll probably call you
Speaker 1: a blankety blank back exactly, and then what then nobody wins,
Speaker 1: nobody wins, and nobody listens. Do you you don't like
Speaker 1: confrontation though you hate it? Well, I mean, and I
Speaker 1: have put you in some you have sations. I mean,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I I like arguing. I don't mind.
Speaker 1: I love arguing passionately for my values, my identity, my beliefs.
Speaker 1: I think that's part of what makes us great as
Speaker 1: a species, part of what makes us great as a country.
Speaker 1: I love that. I don't enjoy personal animosity, It's true.
Speaker 1: And also, by the way, I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: it makes other people feel that. It makes me feel bad.
Speaker 1: If it makes me feel bad to be mean to people,
Speaker 1: and to do you mean and dehumanize pe But but
Speaker 1: but I've been in the middle of passion the debates
Speaker 1: with you and you're you're fierce, You're you're you're a
Speaker 1: great advocate for your side, which is why we want
Speaker 1: you on the air. Listen, there's nothing more boring than
Speaker 1: putting somebody on with a point of view that well,
Speaker 1: from my personal point of view, I think though nobody
Speaker 1: wants to hear John Hannity impersonates a liberal ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: I was doing Marlon Brown. They always talk about that
Speaker 1: family and the Trump crime family. Why not the Clinton
Speaker 1: crime family? All right? Or right? Not the Muther crime familist,
Speaker 1: she's not president. It could have been one more votes.
Speaker 1: But going on, what were you saying? Sorry, but the
Speaker 1: but the you don't Why don't you like confrontation? What
Speaker 1: do you why? Well, no, no, no, no, no, know
Speaker 1: I listen. I like debate, discourse, disagreement, right, like again,
Speaker 1: I think that's that's I'm I'm an opinionator and a
Speaker 1: columnist and I believe in and I like that. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't enjoy personal I don't enjoy the politics of
Speaker 1: personal destruction. I don't. And by the way, and this
Speaker 1: is that, oh it come, I think it. Here's the challenge, right,
Speaker 1: and we have this tendency right and left. We have
Speaker 1: this sort of uh they started it, philosophy of hate right.
Speaker 1: So if you did it first, then all you know,
Speaker 1: all hands are loose. Whatever, I can do it too.
Speaker 1: And if that's true, right eye for an eye makes
Speaker 1: the whole world blind. So at some point we have
Speaker 1: to say, look, I don't like it when the other
Speaker 1: side does it. We can debate which side does it
Speaker 1: worse and whatever yours does, but I don't like which
Speaker 1: side I don't like. I don't care which side does
Speaker 1: it worse. I'm responsible for myself. I'm gonna hold my
Speaker 1: own side accountable, and I'm gonna call it equally on
Speaker 1: both sides. In the day and age of Trump, have
Speaker 1: you ever seen one president attacked more viciously in him? Again,
Speaker 1: we could spend we literally could no, no, you and
Speaker 1: I could spend questions like we could talk about, how
Speaker 1: you know, the attacks on Barack Obama when he did
Speaker 1: when he tried to build consensus, he was still attacked
Speaker 1: as being a socialist and lefty, the attacks on whether
Speaker 1: he was an American, his American noss. We could talk
Speaker 1: about all that. We could no, no, no, that was.
Speaker 1: But the point is, however, many attacks there were, whatever
Speaker 1: percentage there was, doesn't make it okay to demean and
Speaker 1: to humanize Donald Trump as a person. You can hate
Speaker 1: what he stands for, you can hate what he does,
Speaker 1: but you don't attack people as people, and you definitely
Speaker 1: don't attack the supporters. You don't attack voters. Don't you
Speaker 1: think there is an effort now to unseat a duly
Speaker 1: elected president that all of this It's been fifteen months,
Speaker 1: and I'll ask you a simple question is do you
Speaker 1: have any evidence you can share with my audience of
Speaker 1: Trump Prussia collusion? First of all, um, when as last
Speaker 1: as I recalled, when Barack Obama was in office, there
Speaker 1: were what eighteen congressional hearings spearheaded by Republicans to investigate Benghazi,
Speaker 1: each of which were Republican hearings. Keep kept founding no
Speaker 1: evidence of wrongdoing, and then you just have another and
Speaker 1: another another. So unfortunately, we are at a point in
Speaker 1: a country where we spend more time trying to attack
Speaker 1: and undermine the other party than try to actually get
Speaker 1: the people's work done. An I don't think, I actually
Speaker 1: don't think Trump is capable of I don't think he
Speaker 1: knows enough about what's going on in his own campaign,
Speaker 1: let in his own presidency, but we spent a whole
Speaker 1: But do I think members of his campaign might have
Speaker 1: been involved in either? But you don't know. That's why
Speaker 1: we have investigations. It's been going on for sixteen months.
Speaker 1: That's why we have investigations. Did Hillary You'll still are
Speaker 1: talking about Hillary's email. She's not even presidents so come on,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if she's President's about equal Justicely, it's
Speaker 1: about equal justice out of the law. For example, if
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity had thirty three Hannity had thirty three thousand
Speaker 1: emails that were under subpoena and I deleted them and
Speaker 1: then I asked and washed my hard drive with bleach
Speaker 1: bit and then I took a hammer and I busted
Speaker 1: him up with hammer my devices. Is that a crime?
Speaker 1: Is that obstruction of justice? So here's also a lawyer
Speaker 1: right now, so that is true. So here, uh, although
Speaker 1: I'm retired from the bar, so I want to stipulate
Speaker 1: that this is not good constitute legal advice. But listen,
Speaker 1: is just my side. Someone on my side did it,
Speaker 1: I would say it's wrong. And by the way I did,
Speaker 1: and you we had the conversations about the emails and
Speaker 1: so the same thing. Right, when there's traces of money,
Speaker 1: when there's evidence, that policy change my point. But I'm
Speaker 1: talking now about Trump as well. Right, you were upset
Speaker 1: about the donations the Clinton Foundation took. Let's look about
Speaker 1: the money that Manafort took. My point is, let's apply
Speaker 1: the same standards. Didn't you know what he was charged
Speaker 1: when it goes back to two thousand and five. He
Speaker 1: was his campaign chairman, and if he'd been Hillary's, and
Speaker 1: if he'd been Hillary's, you'd still be talking in two
Speaker 1: and five, and it had nothing to do with Russia. Look,
Speaker 1: people wonder how we can They think we don't talk politics,
Speaker 1: And here we are, and now we're not slugging each other.
Speaker 1: We gotta take a break. We'll come back more with
Speaker 1: Sally Cone on the other side. Amazon dot com, Hannity
Speaker 1: dot com, bookstores everywhere, and as we can find you
Speaker 1: with Sally calling the brand new books she has written.
Speaker 1: It's called The Opposite of Hate of Field Guide to
Speaker 1: Repairing Our Humanity. It's on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com,
Speaker 1: bookstores everywhere. You know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: there are bigger picture issues that are more important, and
Speaker 1: we kind of forget, you know. I mean, I I
Speaker 1: sometimes find myself because I'm working so much. I'll be
Speaker 1: outside and I'll hear a bird sing and I'll feel
Speaker 1: a whiff of a breeze and I'm like, Okay, i
Speaker 1: haven't felt that in a year because you're so busy working, right,
Speaker 1: and uh, and then we forget that we all probably
Speaker 1: care about the birds in the air and the health
Speaker 1: of our you know, planet, and the ability to breathe
Speaker 1: in the air, and right, and like we you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, we tend to we are in this
Speaker 1: hyper reality TV showified moment in politics. Is that this
Speaker 1: is right where it's then taken over our media where
Speaker 1: then we you gotta agree with me. Then we even
Speaker 1: elected We've done it so much we elect a reality star. Right,
Speaker 1: We've got to get back to some common the ability
Speaker 1: to talk to another job when he's if you look
Speaker 1: at his record and all the people back to work
Speaker 1: and the lowest level of unemployment for African Americans and
Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans, and uh, he's keeping his promises and we're
Speaker 1: energy independent, and uh, we have the biggest tax cut,
Speaker 1: bigger than Reagan's. I'm pretty happy. I think you know
Speaker 1: you see that picture over there, Yes, see that guy
Speaker 1: on the bench in that first yeah, forgotten election was
Speaker 1: about I agree. But so here's the thing. Look, we
Speaker 1: could we could still argue, and you know it's he's
Speaker 1: very good. We could argue, folks. But the first thing is,
Speaker 1: I know I'm not going to debate the meager with you,
Speaker 1: but what I am going to say is that I
Speaker 1: think you're right. What I think is right is that
Speaker 1: too many people in this country feel that they have
Speaker 1: been forgotten and they feel like they were shafted by
Speaker 1: both by the elite politicians on both sides of the aisle.
Speaker 1: And that actually a lot of people I know and
Speaker 1: care about two on the left, they have the same
Speaker 1: concern to this country stopped working for regular people. Why
Speaker 1: do you think that we are I would category categorize
Speaker 1: us as good friends. Why do we get along so well?
Speaker 1: And other people on your side of the all hate me.
Speaker 1: That's fair, I think that because we've atten along. But
Speaker 1: don't listen, here's the thing. I'll be honest. The problem is,
Speaker 1: and it does shock people. The problem is that there
Speaker 1: are you know, from my perspective as a lefty right
Speaker 1: that there are nice people on the right, and there
Speaker 1: are mean people on the left. There are also, by
Speaker 1: the way, nice people on left and mean people on
Speaker 1: the right. Totally agree. I want to associate with nice people,
Speaker 1: and by the way, I want to encourage them to
Speaker 1: be even nicer. We get along really well. And how
Speaker 1: come other people that have opposing views don't get along
Speaker 1: as well as we do because we don't take it
Speaker 1: personally well, because we're not making it personal. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to, in about five seconds, you can
Speaker 1: make it personal, right, I don't think, but you could.
Speaker 1: You know, probably both of us have at other times
Speaker 1: in different debates and different moments. You know what the
Speaker 1: problem I have with people that are on the left,
Speaker 1: if I get to know them and like them, I
Speaker 1: I literally it disarms me. It's so unfair. And that's
Speaker 1: the other thing is people with people don't realize it's
Speaker 1: easier to beat up for somebody. I don't know. Guys,
Speaker 1: he's kind of a teddy bear. Oh that's not true.
Speaker 1: The whole studio is laughing because they know it's true.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want you to know that. America News Now,
Speaker 1: all the wise ass in there, go ahead with breaking
Speaker 1: news now, Hannity is an okay guy, Listen, the book
Speaker 1: is phenomenal. What we're doing is we're putting it up
Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com and Amazon dot coms and bookstores everywhere.

Speaker 1: on very little politically, but somehow, in spite of that,
Speaker 1: we have navigated a friendship that transcends everything else. Those
Speaker 1: books explains it all, it really does. And you know
Speaker 1: what this is. This is one of those books where
Speaker 1: you need to stand back and Okay, yeah, we can
Speaker 1: still get along and uh, great work. When you speaks

Speaker 1: And there in March, we're gonna do a drawing. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have six members of it, of a panel to
Speaker 1: decide who's gonna win the truck. So your register, you're
Speaker 1: a veteran or a first responder, you say who you
Speaker 1: are and what you did, what you've done for America,
Speaker 1: what you've done for someone else, because you know right
Speaker 1: now first responders and also all militaries, and that's judged. Yes,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be showing the truck again before We've got
Speaker 1: to go to President Trump at the moment. Now, but
Speaker 1: show me that truck again, please. He's got an eagle
Speaker 1: on the side. I think the man who painted it
Speaker 1: right there text is where is because tech with Dorman?
Speaker 1: Is that an eagle that's good? Yes? And has hand painting,
Speaker 1: hand painting? I want want all right. That was my
Speaker 1: friend Stewart Varney interviewing the great Herschel Walker who joins
Speaker 1: us in studio. Former NFL player obviously, the Vikings, the Eagles,
Speaker 1: the Giants, uh now also a potential mixed martial artist.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's gonna jump in the octagon. What they were
Speaker 1: talking about is nominate a hero to win a truck,
Speaker 1: and it's called the True American Hero Truck Giveaway. This
Speaker 1: truck is amazing. You can go to my website Hannity
Speaker 1: dot com and take a look at it. And also
Speaker 1: with us because he actually partnered Herschel Walker did with
Speaker 1: Rocky Ridge Truck. They launched this giveaway contest that awarded
Speaker 1: this hand painted It's absolutely stunning, beautiful, completely American made
Speaker 1: eighteen Chevrolet Silverado. It's worth eighty grand to US veteran
Speaker 1: Brian Jason, you got the truck man beautiful. Um. And
Speaker 1: first of all, congratulations, this truck is awesome. Uh. And
Speaker 1: that's all hand painted. All that that's hand painting. And
Speaker 1: another thing that's gonna happen is Brian is also getting
Speaker 1: like a uh, but tell him about a turbo. You're
Speaker 1: not just a turboy. He's gonna get some horsepower to it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna crank it up even more. I gonna give
Speaker 1: herschel credit for that one. I think he threw that
Speaker 1: at barl last minute. They gave me a truck to
Speaker 1: drive around, and they gave me one with a little
Speaker 1: bit of super chargers on it, and I said, well,
Speaker 1: this one don't have it on it, so I think
Speaker 1: they deserve to have a super charge. So they gave
Speaker 1: him a little bit more and put a super charge
Speaker 1: it on him. Because we want to go fast. Listen,
Speaker 1: I want to go fast too. But you haven't gotten
Speaker 1: pulled over by the cops as much as I have, obviously,
Speaker 1: but I have gotten pulled over. But I talked my
Speaker 1: way out of with this walker. Well, you know, everyone
Speaker 1: said I looked like herschel Walker, but they don't think
Speaker 1: I'm here. Is that? I get that a lot. Um. Well,
Speaker 1: this is a really cool thing. So obviously there's a
Speaker 1: big story behind you, in the nomination and your service
Speaker 1: to your country. I want people to understand how you
Speaker 1: got nominated and how you ended up because there's so
Speaker 1: many heroes. I mean, we should be doing this like
Speaker 1: once a day for everybody, and I maybe there's a
Speaker 1: way to do it. I always like to dream pig,
Speaker 1: But tell us about your life, your career, your service
Speaker 1: at the military. Well, at first, all I want to say,
Speaker 1: you know, there was over what five thousand heroes nominated,
Speaker 1: and you know all the all of them are heroes
Speaker 1: to somebody, So uh, you know, I just happened to
Speaker 1: be the fortunate one to get picked. But you know
Speaker 1: why was I picked? You know, um obviously served my
Speaker 1: country at a very high level. Um My, my team
Speaker 1: did a lot of good things overseas. Unfortunately I can't
Speaker 1: on the detail on the whole heck of a lot
Speaker 1: of it. But uh, and the judges must have saw
Speaker 1: something in the right up. You know, I'll never take
Speaker 1: credit for uh what you know, me and my team did.
Speaker 1: It was a team effort. Who nominated you? An old
Speaker 1: boss of mine, actually he was a boss he then
Speaker 1: he his name is Randy. Uh and I'm in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: so he got Randy nominated you. Oh yeah, yeah. And
Speaker 1: and you know the funny thing is, you know, he
Speaker 1: moved and took a job in Dallas, so I haven't
Speaker 1: really seen him in a few years. And I get
Speaker 1: this phone call that I was actually blowing off because
Speaker 1: I thought it was a scam. This is herschel Walker,
Speaker 1: not not from herschel now commercial is from Rocky Ridge,
Speaker 1: and um, and I thought I thought it was a scam.
Speaker 1: And then eventually they called Randy, and Randy called me
Speaker 1: and he said, you need to call these people back
Speaker 1: because I nominated you for something, so I didn't even
Speaker 1: know there was an award out there. Tell us the
Speaker 1: story though, everybody, I mean, look, five thousand people, your
Speaker 1: story is pretty amazing. Well, you know, like he said,
Speaker 1: he can't go into a lot of details called some
Speaker 1: of the things that he here. But one of the
Speaker 1: things about his stories that really touched us a lot
Speaker 1: is he never worried about himself. And that's one thing
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people don't realize about
Speaker 1: these great responders and our military have service veterans and
Speaker 1: our active members, is it ain't about them. And that's
Speaker 1: the way Brian has been is never about him. He
Speaker 1: was always always about someone else. And when he won,
Speaker 1: it was like he wanted it for his team rather
Speaker 1: than for him and his wife, and it was for
Speaker 1: him and and that's what touched me a lot, is
Speaker 1: uh he said, you know my team and you go, wow, man,
Speaker 1: that's big there, because you know, and being an athlete
Speaker 1: sometimes we get selfish, we get selfish and assume we
Speaker 1: deserved the trophy and it's not a team thing. And
Speaker 1: and that's what I like about Brian And that's the
Speaker 1: reason he deserved and the reason he warned that's a
Speaker 1: really great story. Um, and those are all the stories
Speaker 1: that you're not allowed to tell that everybody wants to hear.
Speaker 1: You know, but if people and I know too many
Speaker 1: people in the military, and know too many people in
Speaker 1: the intelligence community, and I know the dangers they face
Speaker 1: every day. And this is life and death stuff that
Speaker 1: you face that we kind of take for granted because
Speaker 1: you know, we go about our daily lives and and
Speaker 1: that's why you do it, so we can be free, uh,
Speaker 1: to pursue our your dreams. You know, look at this
Speaker 1: incredible man next to us here, herschel Walker. What a
Speaker 1: career you've had. And I love the fact that you're
Speaker 1: so active and giving back. Um. I also am amazed you.
Speaker 1: You've taken some strong positions. You actually like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I do. I like Donald and I would continue to
Speaker 1: support Donald. And you know what's sad about this whole
Speaker 1: situation here. And I'm not talking calling out democratic I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call out anyone that's not respecting Donald Trump. He's
Speaker 1: our president. I was listening to the news earlier and
Speaker 1: someone made a statement that he's your president, and they
Speaker 1: was asking, uh, the guy that running I think secretary
Speaker 1: of State. He's your president. No, he's your president as well,
Speaker 1: unless you don't like him, then you leave this country.
Speaker 1: Because he was voted in by a system we put
Speaker 1: in place, and if you don't like the system, you
Speaker 1: gotta change the system. But Donald Trump is my president,
Speaker 1: he's my leader, and we should follow him, you know,
Speaker 1: whether you like him or not. But what's great about it?
Speaker 1: And because the people like Brian, we have a chance
Speaker 1: to vote him out. You know, we're not in a
Speaker 1: country where uh, you know, you can do something and
Speaker 1: you can do don't get a vote. We have a
Speaker 1: vorce today. But we got to use that voice in
Speaker 1: the right manner, and I speak out about it. You
Speaker 1: also spoke out about the national anthem. I was glad
Speaker 1: you did. I you know, And and this kind of
Speaker 1: dovetails into why Brian is here. And I've always viewed
Speaker 1: that flag as sacrosanct in this sense. Oh it is
Speaker 1: if people fought, bled and died fighting under that flag.
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm all for freedom of speech, I'm all
Speaker 1: for freedom of expression. I'm all for you know, whatever
Speaker 1: cause you believe in, you know, peacefully protests, demonstrate, But
Speaker 1: not to stand for the flag to me was disrespectful.
Speaker 1: To all that fought bled died. It was disrespectful to America,
Speaker 1: and and and I and I'm a thought back on leadership,
Speaker 1: and I said, guys, you know the commissioner, he could
Speaker 1: hate me. I can never get into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's got to be leadership because when
Speaker 1: it first happened, he should have put a stop to
Speaker 1: it then. And people say it wasn't about the flag,
Speaker 1: but it was about the flag because you decided you're
Speaker 1: not gonna stand for the flag. And that has been
Speaker 1: people that have fault and they died for it. White, black, green, yell.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what color you are, but you fault
Speaker 1: for that flag. And they say it's not about the flag,
Speaker 1: but it is about the flag, and I disagree with it.
Speaker 1: But I also said leadership should have took their place
Speaker 1: and said, no, you're gonna stand because this is your job,
Speaker 1: it is your responsibility. And I think right there, I
Speaker 1: think leadership dropped in. It's even in the by laws
Speaker 1: and the rules that the team set out for the players.
Speaker 1: And by the way, there are other freedom of speech
Speaker 1: issues that come up, and not allowed to do a
Speaker 1: dance in the in the end zone, you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to do this in the end zone. That I mean,
Speaker 1: they've got so many restrictions about what you can and
Speaker 1: cannot do, what you can and cannot wear. Uh So
Speaker 1: the idea that we're stifling the NFL or players or
Speaker 1: freedom of expression, nobody wants to stifle them. I actually
Speaker 1: liked Robert kraft Um, who, like I got to know
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I met him and he said, well,
Speaker 1: I said to my players, Uh, if you want, I'll
Speaker 1: match you dollar for dollar and we'll go into the community.
Speaker 1: Whatever charity is most important near and dear to your heart,
Speaker 1: I'll match it. You know, let's let's bring it to
Speaker 1: the community. And apparently he did and it had a
Speaker 1: pretty big impact. Well, you know, I think that's that
Speaker 1: shows good leadership. And that's the reason the reason you
Speaker 1: see the new nion of Patriots in the playoffs every year,
Speaker 1: because they have good leadership. And I said, that's what
Speaker 1: it takes in this country to Tom Brady. And Tom
Speaker 1: Brady has out a lot. Yeah, that has out a
Speaker 1: great deal. But and that's what I've been saying right now.
Speaker 1: And that's why I stand behind Donald Trump. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's a great leader. I think the people
Speaker 1: should give him a chance. He was voted in give
Speaker 1: the man a chance to supervise to run this country.
Speaker 1: Because if you don't give him a chance, he's having
Speaker 1: to fight within his party, fight within the everyday's day.
Speaker 1: And that's what's said. All right, I gotta ask you,
Speaker 1: because do you work out with herschel? No? I do
Speaker 1: not work all right, so you you have the most
Speaker 1: insane workout man of anybody that I've ever heard of.
Speaker 1: And then you're still thinking about going in the octagon.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I still will fight. You know, it's no
Speaker 1: big deal. You know. One of the things about it
Speaker 1: is a big deal. I'm not going in the octagon,
Speaker 1: you know. And I trained five days a week. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I think what it is is I'm still competed.
Speaker 1: And because I'm competing, I said that I do fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred push ups ups a day. And the reason why
Speaker 1: the guy that I'm competing against maybe doing five hundred
Speaker 1: pounds and weights you may be doing, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: out doing all those things. So I want to be
Speaker 1: ridd and when he steps into that cage or the
Speaker 1: octagon and let him know that, you know, I'll be
Speaker 1: your huncle Barry. It ain't gonna be an easy day
Speaker 1: for you. I'm not gonna be in there with you
Speaker 1: unless I'm coaching you. How do you do push ups
Speaker 1: a day? Yeah? One thing you have to push ups
Speaker 1: are very boring. Push up the very boring. So you
Speaker 1: want to play tricks on the mind. One thing you
Speaker 1: don't want to do is do a standard push up.
Speaker 1: Move their hands around, told about it, but take it.
Speaker 1: Take a deck of cards. What you want to do
Speaker 1: to take a deck of cards, split them in half
Speaker 1: and flip a card over, and that's what you want
Speaker 1: to do. And to push ups and go all the
Speaker 1: way down to the to the end of the deck
Speaker 1: and then start back your way back up. And you'll
Speaker 1: be shocking having to push ups you've done or decided
Speaker 1: to watch the TV show. And if you take a
Speaker 1: card away every time you do a push every time
Speaker 1: you do it push up, if you turn the cars over,
Speaker 1: it's a ten, Do ten, push up, do nine, push up?
Speaker 1: Do three one time in my life. I'm gonna hope
Speaker 1: for a too well, and and and and that works.
Speaker 1: But then when you're doing it too, go down real
Speaker 1: slowly and put their hands together. Don't make it as
Speaker 1: easy for you, because people ain't life as easy. Life
Speaker 1: is very difficult, and noting you got to realize is
Speaker 1: you gotta sacrifice. You know, everybody don't want to sacrifice.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to be an athlete, but you
Speaker 1: want to pay the price of an athlete. You can't
Speaker 1: if you want to be an athlete. You can't go
Speaker 1: to a club, you can't go out to a bar drink,
Speaker 1: and you can't do this if you want to make
Speaker 1: good grades. I'm saying that you learn that and went
Speaker 1: because most a lot, not most a lot of athletes,
Speaker 1: you know, so many talented athletes, they get caught up
Speaker 1: almost immediately in that other life because the doors open
Speaker 1: that we're never open before, and they're they're they're famous,
Speaker 1: and and they've got money that they never before and
Speaker 1: they're going to the clubs and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the performance begins to decline. And it's really not a
Speaker 1: surprise that but a lot of people get caught up
Speaker 1: in that trap. How did you avoid it? Well, I
Speaker 1: think I avoided it by having my parents that gave
Speaker 1: me that, uh the foundation. They understand that, you know,
Speaker 1: nothing is free in life, and uh, you know, Brownite.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a price for freedom, and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people that will pay that price for me.
Speaker 1: So I don't want to waste it. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to waste it. You know, my parents, I
Speaker 1: love him to death. They've given me a good foundation.
Speaker 1: But I also want to be a good father. I
Speaker 1: want to show that same respect to my son because
Speaker 1: I want him to grow up to be like I was.
Speaker 1: And yeah, oh and you you're not talking about I
Speaker 1: know you're talking about. But you know, one thing that's
Speaker 1: great about him is the little boy just warned the
Speaker 1: national champion and the competitive cheer gymnastic things. Every time
Speaker 1: someone seeming they said, always here a football player doesn't
Speaker 1: know he's a cheerleader. He does that competitive cheer. He
Speaker 1: loves it. By the way that they're throwing your forty
Speaker 1: five feet up in the air, good luck. Very difficult sport.
Speaker 1: But one thing I tell them that they will be
