All right, fuckle up, we'll load it up today, right down on toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program, It is eight hundred and nine four one Sean if you want to join us. All right, we got the situation unfolding with a rand from earlier today shooting down an unarmed drone in international waters. We got some deep state news thanks to Judicial Watch. Another three hundred and forty five pages of Yes Struck page text and emails, and they're extraordinarily revealing. We got the Biden campaign falling apart right before our eyes, and much much more. As we kick off the program today, we have former Speaker of the House, Duke King Rich. We're gonna fund later to Gary Woodland. Wow. Did you see him in the US Open and did you see his love and support and patriotism on display? He partnered with Puma and he had just an amazing story and we'll have some fun with him. Looking forward to that coming up. I want to start with Iran, because look a lot is happened. I listen very very closely as we speak. We just had at the White House. We had a speaker name only Pelosi. Now could I clarify one thing, Linda. I guess I have to clarify because the media is so dumb. The only thing I need to clarify this because it was written one hundred times today. Sean Hannity has a conspiracy theory that Nancy Pelosi is not the speaker. He says, she's speaker in name only, but she's not really the speaker. That Alexandria Casio Cortez is the speaker, Linda, Can they really be that dumb? I'm just I'm just trying to, Okay, So when I say speaker in name only, what I'm referring to is the fact that Nancy Pelosi's scared to death of a Casio Cortez as apparently are all these twenty twenty Cannon dates now? Is it obvious? Or are they just that dumb that they think that I really believe that Acasio Cortez his speaker, but they're just not telling anybody. You know, It's a tough choice there. I'm not really sure. I think that I think there are some people on the left of the fake news media who really just you know, the light bulb's gone a little dim and I think there are some people who just want to make headlines with your name. Okay, you know, but you knew what I meant. Everybody, everyone, Kylie, you knew what I meant. Ethan right, Jone, everybody's stagator, sweet baby, everybody knew. Okay, I wasn't saying Acasio Cortez is speaker. You idiots, They're so dumb. Sean Hannity, the President disagreed with his conspiracy theory. I'm like reading as I'm like, oh man, you people are so dumb. But whatever, So anyway, we have this droll taken out. Now this is on the heels. Remember, let me let me backtrack. We have one huge, massive advantage that we have never had as it relates to energy and which is the lifeblood of our economy. If you go back to the first goal four and you know Kuwait and the hostilities there, and if you go back to that, remember a lot of this always came down to the free flow of the lifeblood of every economy oil at market prices, so that a few crazy regimes that were getting awfully rich because they had a monopoly. Even though we have more energy, more oil, more natural gas, more coal, the means by which we would never need a drop of oil ever again, especially from countries that hate us. We've always had the ability, We've always had it, but now we've we've discovered even more and are discovering more every day. And with pipelines now the Dakota pipeline on track again, and the Keystone XL pipeline on track, and and more finally opened up. And you know, fracking is transformed energy for this country, clean burning natural gas. I bought a truck once from it was an old Providence gas company truck, a van. I paid two hundred bucks for it, the best two hundred bucks I ever spent. And it had run I think had seventy five thousand miles on it when I got it, and I kept it for years. Had a little body damage, but I didn't care. It didn't affect anything with the truck. But they switched it back to gas. But you know, you can run the combustion engine on natural gas. I mean, that's if we want to switch, we can switch. And it's fairly easy to do, because this is going back to the early eighties that they did this. Anyway, so we don't we are not as dependent on this far and oil. We're now energy independent for the first time in seventy five years. That's a big deal. If not, you know, I'm not sure if the president. What's happened is the President's sanctions on Iran are having a dramatic impact on their economy. Now, I know Biden and Obama would probably just drop another one hundred and fifty billion in cash and of the currencies and say, pretty please, like us, if we give you more money, pretty pretty please. That's never gonna work with maniacal radical Islamic extremist the Mullah's in Iran, the chant death to Israel, death to America, and always threatened to wipe Israel off the map. But the straits are hormus. You know, if you look at the shipping lanes for a lot of the oil, the world's oil, you know, the Iranians can cause a lot of trouble. It's not as strategically important now since Donald Trump's from president. That gives us leverage, that gives us we don't need to act as fast as we may otherwise act, or jump in as fast as we may otherwise jump in. We could be far more strategic. In other words, the president and I love this part of the President. Why are we going to telegraph what we're going to do now? The president, of course, in front of the fake news media, what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? You're gonna say, and then the President keep saying, you'll see, you'll see, and you know, it's very important that we get this right. Let me tell you what's most important in all of this. The world is watching. The world is watching here. In other words, Russia is watching because they've created their alliance with the Iranians, and then you know, putin Wang and we better not do anything. China is watching, you know, Kim Jong un is watching, The world is watching. All of them are watching. And it's important that we understand what we do. We got to get it and get it right. That's what's important here. So this is what the president said in front of the fake news media, and they're breathless questioning of the president earlier today. This drone was in international orders. Clearly, we have it all documented. It's documented scientifically, not just words, and they made a very bad mistake. Okay, you'll find out, you'll find out. You'll find out. Obviously. Obviously, you know, we're not going to be talking too much about it. You're going to find out they made a very big mistake. And I think probably Iran made a mistake. I would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down. And fortunately that drone was unarmed. It was not there was no man in it, and there was though. It was just it was over international orders, clearly over international orders. But we didn't have a man or woman in the drone. We had nobody in the drone. Would have made a big difference, So let me tell you, would have made a big, big difference. But I have a feeling I may be wrong, and I may be right, but I'm right a lot. I have a feeling that it was a mistake made by somebody that shouldn't have been doing what they did. I think they made a mistake, and I'm not just talking to the country made a mistake. I think that somebody under the command of that country made a big leadership. Let's just see what happens. You just let's see what happens. It's older to work out. I don't know. I find it hard to believe it was intentional. If you want to know the truth, I think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it. Will be able to report back and you'll understand exactly what happened. But it was a very foolish move, I can tell you now. I'm I think I know the president well though. The President very was very clear as a candidate, right, So we got to look at the president's past actions and promises and the things. You know, how has he kept to has he been faithful to his promises? Is their fidelity to promises? And what is the president's position on foreign entanglements in this particular case is something we've got to examine. Now. He gave a list of Supreme Court justice nominees that he would like to appoint to the US Supreme Court. You check, check he did that. He wanted the biggest tax cut in history. Check he did that. The President wanted to get rid of all of Obamacare, but he had weak Republicans, but he did get rid of the individual mandate, which was a big deal. Check. The President also wanted energy independence. I probably asked him that question more than anybody else in the media in the lead up to the election, because anyone that has listened to this show for years drill here, drill now pay less. You know that was a campaign and partnering with oil and energy companies too, so people can get high paying jobs. Eighty thousand dollars you get trained to drive a truck. That it was important to me. We were changing people's lives and this is just the beginning. If we really really dig deep into energy independence and more, it's going to be great for raising the standard of living for Americans. Now, what was the president's position on Israel in Jerusalem? Yeah, he did that too. Then they moved the capital from Tel Aviv and Goal On Heights. Yeah, he did that too, and he promised to get out of the Iranian deal. These sanctions are largely responsible for the Iranian's actions now off their coast. And these two tankers that got hit, that was them, that was the Revolutionary Guard. And now taking out a drone, an American drone in international waters. The President's very clear that he doesn't want to get into long and tent anglements. Were less likely to have that happen because we are where we are today. He said, oh yeah, Rand made a very big mistake shooting down that US drone in international waters over the Straits of hormus, and he said, no, I'm not going to stand for that. At the same time, he left open the possibility. He opened a door. He opened the door that said, you better take responsibility. Blame somebody, because if you don't stop, they're gonna be hit so hard, so fast, and nobody's gonna know the moment that's gonna happen. That's my prediction. And he said these comments along Canadian alongside Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau. Find it hard to believe it was intentional. Could have been someone who was loose and stupid, you know, acting on their own. Now does the president really believe that? I don't. My guess is no. But I think the President is giving them an opportunity to think. Because if the weight, the might, the power, the majesty, even of the United States military is unleashed the way I think Donald Trump would do it versus the way say more conventional or establishment presidents would do it, I think he is going to bomb the living daylights out of them. Now that's my thought thinking on it. But he's not going to let you know. And he said this mistake and we're not going to stand for it. And one thing I think if let's just look at the president's track record. Does he mean what he's saying what he says, yes? Does he fulfill promises yes? Does he want long international entanglements in the middle of No. Are we less vulnerable in terms of now that we've become energy independent for the first time in seventy five years. It's less important us. But it is an opportunity and I think the President is more than prepared for it. And how this plays out ultimately is going to be in the Mullah's hands. Do they do they Are they smart enough to take those slight opening Trump as giving them, or do they get bombed to smithereens. I don't know, because I think that's what the options will be. You gotta understand why this is all happening. It's the president's sanctions, unlike you know, dumping one hundred and fifty billion in cash and of the currencies on the tarmac for Muller's for the Mullahs of Iran, and the media doesn't like to talk about it, but it's the president's sanctions that have absolutely devastated their economy. There's a website OilPrice dot com Iran's economy contracted. Get this by four point nine percent in the twenty eighteen nineteen year ended in March, slipping further into recession as diminishing oil exports due to US sans are depriving the Islamic Republic of its economic lifeline, which is oil revenues. By the way, we could do the same thing to putin just saying, And according to the International Monetary Fund, Iran's economy is expected to shrink six percent this year. Annual inflation will spike to thirty seven point two percent. World Bank report from earlier this month showed that Iran's annual inflation had risen sharply from about ten percent in the mid middle of twenty eighteen to about fifty two percent in April of twenty nineteen, and by the way, contributed to the depreciation of Iran's currency almost thready, we're coming up on a break here. The world sees Iran's gross domestic product dropping by four point five percent this year after an estimated fall of one point nine percent in twenty eighteen twenty nineteen. And I'm telling you they made a big mistake now in keeping with the president not wanting to be involved in world entanglements and the fact that we are finally, in the first time in seventy five years, energy independent. I don't really care what a Rand has to say or what Putin has to say that a war would be catastrophic. You're not going to be able to knock down our drones and get away with it. It's that simple. We'll continue, all right, twenty five till the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one sean our toll free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program. A lot going on, all right, so we're gonna see what happens. This is the president. I thought it was very clever. We'll see, you'll see. Yeah, but you can't shoot down an American drone now. Senator Lindsey Graham said, all bets are off. He's right, he's reacting the right way. All bets are off from a ran that would be a provocative act. They're now towards the United States in Israel. All bets are off and put in place military capability to go after the naval forces. There were fineries, and I would add to this then nuclear sites. And by the way, that is not an easy military operation. Everybody knows this. The israelis more than anybody. Now everybody forgets. We remember in the eighties there was world condemnation when Israel took out Iraq's nuclear capability. There was less publicity. It was almost like it was not reported. It was amazing military operation when the Israelis literally flew below serious radar, they got below it and they were able to take out their sites again. Now, Iran is a country with huge land mass and very difficult terrain. It's not a place you want a ground war, I can tell you that. But it is a place that you can be their their air power, whatever it is they have, assuming Putin's not stupid enough to get involved in this, because guess what, we don't need his energy either. You want to bring Putin to his knees, that's the best way to do it. And but Iran has made a mistake. But it's also opened a door and that opportunity. Iran can never get nuclear weapons. Ever, we can't allow that. You cannot marry these weapons of mass destruction with lunatics that think they're doing God's will by destroying Israel, and anybody that disagrees with them and believes in a convert or die theocracy and has been fighting proxy war after proxy war, and has been fomenting terror throughout the region in the world and funding these terrorist organizations. That has to all come to an end. And the President rightly saying the public will find out about the US response, but he's not going to tell you now was shot down over the Straits of Hormus unprovoked attack. Central Command confirmed the President has met in the situation room with the best, brightest military in the world. And beyond the big mistake, oil prices, by the way, I jumped about five percent after the President said they made a very big mistake that does not impact us like it once did. That's the beauty of being energy independent. But there's been also at a fear of a rainy and hegemony and the threats towards Israel and the threats to the entire region, and you know, the battle against the Sunnies and the proxy war through Yemen and fomenting terror. Well, it's kind of created a situation rather unique where the US, Israel and we need bb on that world stage right now. Israel has got to vote lakout. You can't vote for one of these lesser parties. We can't have another election he wins and we can't form a government. He's been those sole Churchillian figure on the world scene with the moral clarity necessary to deal with radical Islamis it said, it's out of survival that he has to do this. We need him, and I will tell you it's It could be a joint venture because this new alliance against the Ranian hegemony includes the US, includes Israel, includes the saudiast There was a big setback obviously on the Kashogi killing murder, but it but the alliance exists the Jordanians and the Egyptians. By the way, Mohammed Morsey dropped dead in the middle of a rant as he was brought up on charges. Remember Morsey was the one that Obama supported former head of the Muslim Brotherhood before General Alcisi took back power. He was the one that said that Jews are sendings of apes and pigs, and the same guy that Obama has given billions of dollars to it's and more than that. And I just I'd never made I'd never made any sense. And why that was not a big deal, I don't know. All right, So we're following this very very closely. We're gonna monitor New Gingrich is at the top of the hour. We'll get his thoughts on all of this as well. You know, and we've got other controversies emerging as well. You know, Acasio Cortez really is comparing. You know, we're doing our best to help all the illegal immigrants that see the walls going up. You know, we're feeding them and we're offering water and food and medicine and cots and blankets and supplies. But Acasio Cortez claims, oh, these are concentration camps. Really, then you've got fake news CNN. Jeff Zucker's got to be so proud of this. What a despicable display that this is what he allows on. You know, you have this guy Don Lemon thinks he's a newscaster. He doesn't realize he's a talk show host or opinion maker. We don't hide who we are. We are, Yeah, I'm a member of the press. Yes, and we do straight news. We do straight interviews sometimes, we do lots of investigative reporting the deep state. For over two years now, we vetted Obama when very few others would. We also do conservative opinion. I am a conservative, committed conservative conservatism when we put conservative justices in place and burden some regulation, lower the tax rates. Yeah, it creates jobs and opportunities and creates factories and manufacturing centers for the forgotten men and women that suffered so disproportionately in the Obama Biden years. Conservatism works. I've not changed my mind. And yet we ought to have secure border. And yeah, internationally, I'm totally in favor of, you know, free and fair trade, fair trade. And if sometimes that means you gotta get a little tough with even an ally, then so be it. President stood alone and said to Mexico, you stopped the caravans, or I'm slapping tariffs on you and you have for weak Republicans. Oh no, we can't support that. And the presidents still want Mexico got the message, or NATO they got the message, or Canada and Mexico getting rid of NAFTA. They're getting the message right now. China's getting the message, and eventually they'll capitulate. They're gonna have to because they don't have a choice. They need these markets. All right. Then, we've got a lot of stuff going on. As it relates to sleepy, creepy, crazy Uncle Joe Biden defiant Wednesday, despite criticism over a comment of a fundraiser about a relationship that he had the former Mississippi Senator James Eastland. Now this is interesting because Hillary said that the former clansman Robert KKK Bird was her mentor was a former clansman. You know, everyone forgets, you know, it's so amazing. The sixty four the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, never gets passed by Lyndon Johnson, but for Republicans because people like Bird and al Gore's father were nowhere to be found when history called. It was Republicans that helped Lyndon Johnson pass those bills, not the Democrats. The claim that they have a monopoly of compassion for minorities. And by the way, under Biden Obama, yeah, they did disproportionately impact minority communities. Thirty million more Americans on food stamps, eight million more in poverty, real Americans, real people, real families, real tragedy because of their insane policies, keep your doctor, your plan, and pay less. Anyway, so it's gotten. We have the deep state now firing at each other. Now we've got the Democratic candidates all firing at each other. Anyway, so we praise this guy who was a noted segregationist, and then when called out by Corey Booker, he's an apologize for what Corey Booker, I want to apologize for me? How does it feel that your Democratic rivals are implicitly seeing that you have issues talking about race? They know better? Are you going to apologize like Corey Boker? Corey Booker has called for it, apologize he knows better. I'm not a racist bone in my body. I've been involved in the civil rights my whole career, period, period, period. Well do you not hear what I hear? The crazy Uncle Joe sounds really tired and he's getting slammed all over the place, and it looks like he's in trouble. Washington Freebeek and as a piece out today is advisors are repeatedly warning him not to brag about working with segregationists while speaking at campaign events. Not the first gaff prone candidate. Can't work at a seven eleven or duncan Nonans unless you have a slight Indian accent, don't play it or you know Obama, this is a storybook. Man. For the first time ever, you got African American who's clean articulate, Wow, that storybook like what anyway? So this bizarre dynamic exists between Biden and these advisors who seem all too willing to throw their bus at their boss under the bus. Even fake news CNN picked up that Biden advisors have been warning the candidate to not cite James Eastland, the segregationist political spoke to a campaign source who said the issue had become a point of contention and it's not the first time Biden staffers have confronted him, and he still does it and he's not going to apologize. He's in troubling trouble, he says, while I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland, he said at the Carlisle and he never called me boy, He always called me son. What And that comment made on the eve of you know whatever date. He did this the second time that he's been slammed in a month for lack of sensitivity towards understanding what's at stake here, Because in early June, Biden abruptly reversed his position on the High Amendment, just as he went on apology tour as it relates to Anita Hill, and just like he's flipped and flopped and flailed, and you know, even a Cosio Cortez got him to adopt the Green New Deal version of his and she still went after you. If you ignore racism, if you don't address issues of race with racist then everything is fine, right, Cosio Cortez said to the Politico, that's how you work with segregationists by not confronting their racism, their institutional institutionalization of second class citizenship, a lack of fully recognizing African Americans. To Blasio weighed in, by the way, does Biden still believe in the death penalty because his campaign won't say anything on that either. And Booker announced sweeping clemency for stuff and anyway, so it's become a big deal. A side note, you know, I'm more concerned about the son making money flying on Air Force two and he has no background or history with hedge funds, but he makes millions of dollars just weeks after he flew to China with his father. Then the father holding hostage a billion dollars a tax money. He said, you got six hours to fire that prosecutor. Oh, the one that's going after his son. Becaus now bad news for the presidential campaign. A woman now has filed a paternity suit against Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden. Biden's standing Bide won't apologize. And then if you look at the history, I mean, Biden now has gone hardcore left. He can't get back, and he's apologize for what I almost think he doesn't get it. That's even worse. And you know he's now stonewalling questions about his corrupt business deal of his sons that means the Ukraine and holding American dollars hostage. But you know, then we have other issues as it relates to you know, Biden, with race, we lost our bearing since the nineteen fifty four Brown v. Board of Education desegregation case, Biden said in a nineteen seventy five interview to a paper in Delaware and recently picked up by The Washington Post. To desegregate is different than to integrate. The real problem with bussing, his said, is that you take white people who aren't racist, people are a good citizens who believe in equal education and opportunity, and you stunt their children's intellectual growth by bussing them to an inferior school. I don't buy that concept popular in the sixties we have suppressed the black man for three hundred years. In order to even the score, we must now give the black man. He says, no reference to a black woman a head start or even hold the white man back. I don't buy that. Biden said that he didn't just reinforce the efforts of segregationists. He also took a decisive role in fueling opposition to desegregation efforts, and he did it many times. A lot of this is going to come out where he stood on bussing. You know, the impact of desegregation, he argued, was good for blacks and was what they wanted. I think the concept of bussing that we're going to integrate people they all have the same access to learn to grow up with one another, and all the rest is a rejection, he said, of the whole movement of black pride. Desegregation, he argued, was a rejection of the entire black awareness concept where his beautiful black culture should be studied and the cultural awareness of importance of their own identity, their own individuality. Just don't send your kids to the schools. Biden supported an anti bussing amendment by the former clansman Robert Byrd renounced his racist passed and used that term. He was on with Tony Snow one day on Fox News Sunday back in the day. Ninety seven percent of Democrats now say they prefer their presidential candidate to be younger than Biden. Oh, that was in roll call today and Biden aids again warned them not to praise segregationist. And Biden and Booker and now at each other's throats over all of this, and it's just gonna get worse, and everyone else is jumping in as quickly as they can. Congressional Black Caucus so far standing by Biden. Let's see how long that lasts. All right, we have new Gingridge at the top. Oh yeah, by the way, we have some deep state news. We're gonna get into this tonight. Three hundred and fifty more pages correspondence between Struck in Page got all of this tonight on Hannity on the Fox News channel. We had a lot to get into it today. This drone was in international orders. Clearly we haven't all documented. It's documented scientifically, not just words. And they made a very bad mistake. Okay, you'll find out. You'll find out. You'll find out. Obviously, obviously, you know, we're not going to be talking too much about it. You're going to find out they made a very big mistake. And I think probably Iran made a mistake. I would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down. And fortunately that drone was unarmed. It was not there was no man in it, and there was no it was just it was over international orders, clearly over international orders. But we didn't have a man or woman in the drone. We had nobody in the drone. Would have made a big difference, So let me tell you would have made a big, big difference. But I have a feeling I may be wrong, and I may be right, but I'm right a lot. I have a feeling that it was a mistake made by somebody that shouldn't have been doing what they did. I think they made a mistake, and I'm not just talking to the country made a mistake. I think that somebody under the command of that country made a big leadership. Let's just see what happens. You just let's see what happens. It's alder to work out. I don't know. I find it hard to believe it was intentional. If you want to know the truth, I think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid. That it will be able to report back and you'll understand exactly what happened. But it was a very foolish move that I can tell you all right. That's the President reacting and responding to the dr own shot down in international waters, this on the heels of two oil tankers that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are responsible for taking down as well. Iran made a very big mistake, the President said, time you will see, which you know. I don't know why people don't listen to Donald Trump because he's very transparent and he's been very clear that and I agree with him that we ought not be telegraphing anything about any military action to anybody. It ought We know that there is a situation room meeting going on even as we speak, and we know that the best, the brightest, smartest military minds in the world will make the right decision. And it's going to be interesting to see as the Iranians now. The sanctions that the President has put on Iran has literally brought their economy now to its knees and nobody is dependent as we once all wore on the oil. Coming out of the straits of Hoor moves and being energy independent for the first time in seventy five years has put us in a much stronger position to deal with the Rant or anybody else in the Middle East. Anyway, our two Sean Hannity Show joining us now former Speaker of the House, New King Rich mister speaker, good to speak with you again. By the way, you were on Hannity last night before we went to the President, and the President's on the line. He said, no, I want to hear what New House to say. Let New finish. I thought that was wild. It's got two great nights in a row, between five million people tuning into your show on Tuesday nights for the kickoff and then having the President of self called in last night. You're not going to get many back to back. Yeah, early indicators over four million, and CNN can't break a million a single hour of their day most days. But you know who's and by the way, they've earned the distrust that people have. Um, how do you interpret the President's comments? I interpret it very simply. Is I have not decided. No, I'm not going to tell you, and I'm not going to telegraph. Yeah, I probably would say, I don't know whether he's decided or not. I do agree that even if he has decided, uh, he is better off to not say anything that triggers what we're gonna do. And you know, our opponents should always be worriedable what he might do. And I think that's a that's a key thing to think about. We don't need to tell him in advance. Sometimes they can learn when the bomb arrives. I also think, though, and I've noticed this on several occasions, including the Koreans and Instructional Range Muscle, now, that there really has been an effort on the part of the president to avoid escalating things. It's almost as though he is trying very hard to to let things solve themselves else uh and uh. I suspect that he's also trying to give the Ayatollah and an opportunity here to you know, some senior person did this. It wasn't me now, but the problem for the Iranians is there is going to come a moment when the president is going to I think a hammer them very very hard and I think that that if they keep pushing, they will be making a huge mistake in s. Secretary Pompeo has been quite clear about this, So I don't think that they're anywhere out of the woods. That a is you you correctly pointed out the sanctions have really begun to bite. And people need to remember when you talk about the straitser her was we have no immediate vested interests India, China and Japan have an enormous interest. Europe has a secondary interest. So the combination of the three and that those are places where you're going to see people who are really, really work And I think part of what the United States is trying to do is to get them to step up and agree that will internationally police the waters, not to have the Americans do it, you know. But the thing is, I have really thought long and hard and often about I would like to see the next generation of American technology and military might evolve as quickly as possible. Now I know that was a part of the President's agenda, and I remember the President said I'd never do this deal. Looks apt I need what was what close to eight hundred billion dollars or in moneys for the Defense Department, which had been depleted in the Biden Obama years, for the very purpose of building the next generation of weaponry. And I'll tell you why, sir, because you look at Vietnam. We lost fifty eight thousand people there, our national treasure, our men, our children, and between Iraq and Afghanistan, you know, nearly another ten thousand and so many others disfigured and losing legs and limbs and facing difficulties now for the rest of their lives. I never liked the idea we didn't even have in the beginning of the Iraq conflict uparmored humvees. I didn't like that American treasure, our men and women were knocking on doors, one door after another door, and all the ieeds were set up for them. And I don't like the fact that in both cases the wars became politicized in Washington, and immediately when that happens, then the idea of winning the war goes out the window, and they're all talking about an exit strategy without victory. And so I think that I would like to see the future American might and wars be fought. Let's just say from Tampa to pick a random city, if I might, if I might, well, look, I say, first of all, I want to really praise you for a second, because you put your finger on the real deal, which is the treasure we lose in these wars, is our young men and women. It's not our money. Money is replaceable, but those young men and women are not replaceable, and they are the very heart of who we are as a country. And we've always had a pattern of investing in technology to save lives. And I think that the President has been exactly right. I mean, the turnaround from the Obama years of weakness to the Trump years of strength has been enormous and well. Part of that has been a willingness, much like Ronald Reagan, to put rebuilding the American military very very high on his agenda. One of the things that has happened in the Trump years, and I've often said this that prior to Donald Trump being on the world stage, that really there was one voice Loan voice of moral clarity in the world, and a Churchillian figure in his own right out of sheer necessity, and that's Prime Minister Death in Yahoo. And it was a shame he didn't form the government. I'm pretty certain he'll win again and he will get that government formed. I hope so. But as a result of fear of the ambitions of these mullahs in Iran for nuclear weapons, coupled with their desire to wipe Israel off the map and chant death to Israel and death to America and wipe America off the map, that there is a new alliance that is formed that might have been on precedent and even three years ago, between the United States, Israel, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, the saudiast the Emirates against the Iranian hegemony. Now, to me, the fact that they're sharing more intelligence and getting along better behind the scenes than ever before, well that raises the prospects of a real long peace possibility in the Middle East. But for Iran now being supported by Putin oh, I think that's right, and I think that we need to recognize as a very real possibility that we're going to see I think in the near future much more tight relationship between Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel, and then that may well be the basis of a real peace agreement, having nothing to do with direct negotiations with the Palestinians. What everything to do with a profound underlying change between the Sunni Arab states and their fear. They're very deep fear of the Arabians. Where do you think, you know, look, the Straits of Hormus don't have the importance they once had now it's certainly an important shipping lane for the lifeblood of every economy, which makes this idiotic New Green deal even more insane. Oil and gas is the lifeblood of every economy. The idea that we're going to get rid of using oil and gas in ten years is not only a fantasy, it would be the destruction of the US economy. That's simple. But more importantly, it does give us more leverage. It does give us more of an opportunity to be strategic rather than reactive in terms of how we deal with conflicts in the Middle East. Wouldn't you agree? Oh no, There's no question that our ability to be energy independent, our ability to continue to build on the breakthroughs of fracking, give us enormous leverage, both with the Russians with Venezuela and in the Middle East. And I think it has been just you know, and I think Trump himself has said this, and others have said when you look at what you would have expected to happen with the price of oil and you realize how little impact the Uranians have had. That's really a tribute to Texas and to North Dakota into what's been happening all across America in the natural gas fields as you look at this slate of twenty twenty candidates. So we have a lot of trouble going on now for Crazy Uncle Joe Biden, very defiant despite criticism for many in his own parties. They now have turned on each other as the deep State has turned on each other as well, and he talked about at a fundraiser's relationship with James Eastland, a Mississippi senator noted segregationist, and Corey Booker said apologize and Biden said, apologize for what Booker should apologize to me. Now, you do have this very odd, strange history as it relates to Crazy Joe Biden. For example, Biden didn't support integration on the issue of bussing at the time. Biden had made a lot of comments as such, made a lot of comments about some other issues involving race that are now coming back apparently to haunt him. But he embraced himself segregation in nineteen seventy five, claiming it was a matter of quote black pride. Those are his words, not mine. Is this going to be a big problem for Uncle Joe, the so called frontrunner? Look, I think it's a problem in a lot of ways. First of all, you have left wing Democrats saying we'd rather you lie than tell the truth. I mean, I think Biden was trying to make a point about having human relations even with people you disagree with, and he learned the hard way that that's that's inappropriate. It's a little bit like, you know, you can't discuss Thomas Jefferson because he held slaves. And so they're coming back. And by the way, I do want to point out to our audience, Uh, I have all of these segregationists toward Democrats. Uh. And let's let's remember who we're talking about here. And for those people want to say, oh, you can't have those kind of relationships. The Democratic Seniment majority leader for years was Senator Bird of West Virginia, who had been an active member of the Ku Klux Klan. Yeah. By the way, Hillary Clinton's mentor, right, and and he I mean Teddy Kennedy had a fine relationship with a ku klux klans them. So I don't know exactly where Corey Booker wants to carry this to this whole story, but it tells you a lot about the modern left. They would rather have Biden lie than tell the truth as long as the lie was politically correct. And I think that's the real underlying story. And I did a Facebook live last night about this because I thought the contrast between Alexandria Okosi courte Quartet right, who absolutely said things that were totally false. They were anti American about concentration camps on the border, but that was okay because her heart is pure and she's liberal, and Biden, who was telling the truth. But that was bad because he apparently is impure and therefore not acceptable. It's over. That's the bottom line. We got to run the wor up on a heart break here, mister speaker, thank you for being will Us Knew king Rich eight hundred and ninety four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. More on the Iranian situation. As the President said, they have made a very big mistake. He's not telegraphing where he's going with this, But I would expect that the President is taking it seriously. We'll see what happens. Oh, when we come back, we'll talk more about this. We have our news round up, Information Overload hour, and much more coming up. Sean Hannity Show, All right, twenty five now until the top of the hour. Toll free telephone numbers eight hundred and nine four one, Sean if you want to be a part of the program. And earlier, the White House briefing on rand took place, and ye, Kevin McCarthy, you got a speaker and name only Pelosi and then of course McConnell and Chucky Schumer. By the way, Linda, did you notice that because I said speaker in name only and Acazio Cortes is the real speaker? You know, you know how the liberal media is writing that John Hannity is a conspiracy theory that Acasio Cortez is the real speaker. Are these people really that's stupid? In the meeting? Okay, that is called hyperbole. I'm making a point. Should we put the definition of hyperbole on Hannity dot com for these films? Well, maybe for the public service announcement, for maybe for the fake news meeting. It's like Sean Hannity is divided asked the president night about his conspiracy theory that Nancy Pelosi's not the real speaker, and I'm like, Okay, you people are even dumber than I thought. But putting that all aside, oh listen, they hate the ratings we get every night. I understand it thanks to the best audience in TV and radio. But it more importantly, they lied. They they're the ones pushing conspiracy theories. They're the ones that have been pushing a hoax, and they have missed the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in the history of the country. Now a lot of stories that we are covering today, not the least of which is the witch hunt. Devin Nunas actually said, pervy Democrats were grilling whole picks about our love life. And then apparently some of the Democrats wanted pictures with whole picks so that they can post them online. What is wrong with these people? They sound like creepy Uncle Joe. And so we're following that. The situation obviously in Iran, and we're following very very closely, and the president is not gonna telegraph ahead time where he's going, nor should he but will follow that very very closely. Tom McClintock out of California gave a remarkable speech about Democrats and they're desperate scavenger hunters. He was calling it. This is now We've had four investigations into so called Trump Russia collusion, all four of them. The nine month FBI investigation. Let me quote Peter Struck, there's no there there. Let's quote Lisa Page. At the end of nine months, we had nothing. Then we had the House Intel investigation nothing, then the Bipartisan Senate investigation nothing, and then of course the Muller Report that was supposed that was it. It was going to be the end of the Trump presidency. Nothing. And of course you have the selective moral outrage of the Democrats because there really was Russian influence. Devin Nounez had warned about it in an article in twenty fourteen. Nobody paid attention to him in the Biden Obama administration. There's all happened on their watch, and it came from Oh Hillary Clinton, who funneled money through a law firm, to anp research firm, to a foreign national, and all we got back were Russian lies that he himself says he has no idea or true or false at all. I don't know, I don't think. I don't know if any of it's true. And when you read it it sounds so dumb you can't even make it up. But it became the basis to spy on the Trump campaign and then the Trump transition team and then the President of the United States, and then got turned into a two year witch hunt and a hoax. But in the process they ignored the Russian lies, by the way, that were disseminated by high ranking intelligence people to the American people visa the Washington Post, David korne is a coffin others, they were leaking the contents of that dirty Russian dossier. And of course Hillary should have been out of the race a long time ago because they had rigged the investigation after she committed many felonies, violating the Espionage Act eighteen USC. Seven ninety three three, and then of course subpoena that emails deleted and bleached bit and taking hammers to devices and pulling sim cards. You haven't been not paying attention to that either, you know, if you had a bad loan application like Michael Khan or taxi medallions like Michael Kohane, or loan applications or tax issues like Paul Manafort. But forget it. You're gonna get rikers, You're gonna get jail time, You're gonna get you know, you double jeopardy. You're gonna be charged for the same crime twice, even after you're convicted on a federal level. I mean, it's just unbelievable. Then we're gonna set up a thirty three year veteran by the name of Lieutenant General Flynn and brag about it. No, you don't need a lawyer, the deputy FBI director told General Flynn on day four. The Trump administration now not at all, But they're sending an FBI agents, and Comey is saying, oh, yeah, I was taking full advantage of the chaos. I never would have I'd never think to do this in the Bush years or the Obama years. So you're admitting that you set up after you told a thirty three year American hero that served as country in combat that not to have a lawyer. But you know you're setting him up, and you know you already knew the contents because you had illegally surveiled unmasked raw intelligence on General Flynn, that in and of itself a crime. That's not the country we know. Joining us now is California Congressman from the fourth District House Judiciary Committee. He's on the House Judiciary Committee and spoke on the House floor about Democrats and this effort to pursue Muller. Tom mc clintock is with us. How are you, sir, Well, I'm doing just fine, Sean. You know, I find this fascinating. Now the President calls that they want to redo and hope Pix I think rightfully didn't answer their questions again, and I don't think anybody should answer their questions again, because you know, when the President fully cooperated, he encouraged everybody to go to every Congressional committee tell them anything that they know. He even gave his own White House counsel thirty hours before Muller everybody in the White House that Muller wanted to talk to. He talked to one point four million documents, all these people subpoenaed, all these lawyers hired. And now they want to basically draw everybody back in because four investigations aren't enough. Now we need a fifth investigation. I think that's abuse of power, and I think that's executive branch harassment. At this point, this is not oversight. I think this is getting silly. No, they've asked these questions over and over and over again. The problem is they just don't like the answers they keep getting back. So they're desperately leaning anything they can out of the Muller Report to try to revive their collusion narrative, and it's just not working for them. Mean, as you've pointed out, the John Deane Show was an embarrassment, clearly backfired on them. The whole pick hearing yesterday behind closed doors was mainly having her read portions of the Muller Report, and it explained that she can't comment on discussion that involve executive privilege, was, by the way, is a doctrine that goes back to the Washington administration. And you know, then today's hearing consisted of inviting sordid leftists and never trumpers to agree with the Democrats that Trump's just an awful person. They can't believe God elected, you know, and then you look at the record and the President, I thought, laid it out very articulately in Orlando the other night and last night on my TV show Hannity, you know we've had all of this economic success. We saw the incident that happened with the Iranians today taken out a drone of ours and international waters. That follows up on the Strait Zahor moves where two tankers were taken out by the Revolutionary Guard of Iran. And now the escalation and the saber rattling is going on. But I love the President when he says, well just watch, we'll see. And because I don't think I think too often we telegraph what we're going to do. I don't think we should ever telegraph what we're going to do. Well, the President clearly has the authority once an attack has been launched on the United States Armed forces, and this clearly qualifies he can order a commitment of military force to repel the attack, or order a hot pursuit of the attackers, or even launch a retaliatory response. I mean, obviously anything beyond that requires an active Congress. But I don't want to see a war against Iran if we can avoid it, and know the President doesn't either. And the fact is the President's sanctions are working. There is a huge freedom wepment inside Iran. In fact, there's a big rally here in Washington buy them Tomorrow. Several times over the past decade the regime was on the verge of collapse, only to be rescued by the Obama administration. But with Trump, the days of sending hundreds of millions of dollars you shrink wrapped on cargo palates to the Mullahs are over. The sanctions he has reimposed are working. The regime is teetering on another revel elution. We just have to keep up the pressure. Well, I think you're right. The financial they're in financial you know, difficult, their lifeblood of their economy. Like you know, the hostile regime in Russia under a hostile actor of Putin is all energy. And the fact that America now this is a game changer that we're energy independent now for the first time in seventy five years. It's a game changer that we are a net exporter of energy, and I'd like to see us take it to the next level. Because of the vastness of the resources that we've always had, but because of burdensome regulation by the left, we've not been able to tap into until the Trump administration unleashed American energy potential, as you point out, for the first time in our lifetimes that our nation's energy independent. You remember what it was like in the nineteen seventies when we were completely at the mercy of Saudi Arabia and the oil exporting countries. There were mile long lines at gas stations. We you know, every time OPEC met, we were all on the knife's edge, wondering what's going to happen to our economy next. All of those days are gone now with the American energy independence, and that is thanks entirely to fracking technology and the Trump administration's pro growth policies. Well, the problem is if the likes of all of these democratic want to be presidents. And I call her Speaker of the House, Alexandria casio Quartz, and Pelosi speaker in name only. By the way, it's not a conspiracy theory. It is a little bit of a joke with some truth in it, and that is that Acasio Quartz is very powerful because she even got you sleepy, creepy, crazy Uncle Joe to have to adopt this new Green Deal insanity of his own, which would get rid of oil and gas and the combustion engine, and eventually planes and cows and everything in life is free and government provided and medicare for all. But you can't have your own private insurance. Good luck with that. And free retirement guaranteed, free job guaranteed, whether you're willing or unwilling to work. It's a pretty good deal on paper, but in reality nobody could ever pay for that. Well, clearly, Kazuo Cortes and the extreme left are now the center of gravity in the Democratic Conference. In that matter, in the Democratic Party, they are pulling them farther and farther to the left. And meanwhile, you know, I think they're suffering from from what the Air Force calls target fixation. That's that's when a pilot focuses so much on the target that he ends up flying is plane into a mountain. And I think that's where the Democrats may be heading in as we approach twenty twenty. I mean a lot of the candidates who are in Trump districts ran as self describe problem solvers, and instead people are seeing they're not problem solvers at all. They they are enabling the troublemakers. And I think that is those Democrats in those marginal districts that are about to be held accountable by people who they're just getting a belly full of all of this Trump arrangement syndrome. All right, quick break, we'll come back more with California Congressman Tom McClintock. Right as we continue with California Congressman Tom McClintock, you had a shift of forty three Republican seats in the mid terms. Now everybody forgets that. You know, we had Barack Obama's first midterm. He lost sixty nine between House and Senate seats, sixty three House seats, six Senate seats. Then you had the case of Bill Clinton. It was a disaster. He lost eight Senate seats and fifty two House seats, and the President lost I guess around forty seats in the House, but gained seats in the Senate. So he had a far less disastrous first mid term than all these other recent presidents. Nobody seems to want to tell that truth on TV. But you see that we've gone from the worst economy, the worst recovery since the forties, the lowest labor participation rate since the seventies. You know, thirteen million Americans added a food stamps, an eight million added to poverty roles, and now we've got record low unemployment for every demographic group that the Democrats say they claim that they're helping, which their policies don't help, and that is African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and women in the workplace and youth unemployment. So I would say that these policies are working. Conservatism again when practice works. And then I thing about the economies, you can't fake it. People know in their own lives how they're doing. And across the country you're you're seeing this is mourning again in America, and people are feeling it. And meanwhile they're looking at the other problems confronting the country, like our collapsing borders, and realizing that that those issues are being ignored by the House Democrats while they indulge in their recreational outrage over all things Trump. And if I were the Democrats would be another thing I'd be really concerned about, as you've pointed out, the other shoes about to drop. So while they're fixated on impeachment and Trump, there there are three major investigations during public exposure. No, there's more than three. I hate to interrupt, but you got Durham, you got the ag himself, you got Horowitz, and you've got of course uber And and then of course we get this treasure trove of information that the President declassified but handed over to the Attorney General. Yeah, and and what we're if what we're starting to here comes out in detail and that this was a deliberate hoax. It was developed and pursued by the most of the highest ranking officials in justice and our intelligence agencies using the most terrifying powers we entrust to our government to interfere with our election and then to undermine the constitutionally elected president of United States. That could end up being the biggest game changer in American politics. All Right, Tom McClintock, California Congressman, I don't know how you live with the thirteen and a half percent income tax and all the poverty all around LA and San Francis. Go and Gavin Newsom, good luck to you out there. And if you have a few pennies in your pocket after your yearly expenses, God bless you. That seems like a miracle for anybody out there. Just don't let the left, due to the rest of the country what they've done to California, well said, and if you're going to move from California, don't bring your stupid policies that destroyed your state with you. Eight hundred ninth eight hundred nine four one sewn toll free telephone number. We'll continue. It turned into a lock her up chant tonight. Sure, and that's a reflection of Donald Trump's followers. Just as we hold the president accountable, we should hold his followers who make those chants accountable as well. It was a very dark speech though. It was almost like the live action version of American Carnage his inauguration address. It didn't feel like a celebration of America being great again. It is grievance palooza. This is everyone everyone there is. There's not this affirmative feeling about the greatness of our country or some vision for the future. There were a lot of people there, classic Florida. They're a little bit of a smattering of qan on. There were people wearing their formal flip flops in there, and they're addressed the cargo pants. No disrespect to the King of rock and roll, but this is Elvis in seventy seven just kind of lumbering across the stage sweating. Okay, I really want commentary from Liberal Joe and Mika Um and the Liberal Joe shop. I just stopped. This is whatever you want to call a house. I mean, it's conspiracy TV. That's basically all it is. All right, eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza, News Round Up, Information Overload Hour, we have Jonathan Gillham, former FBI agent, Air Marshall, author of Sheep No More. Danielle McLaughlin, attorney, constitutional liberal and friend of the program. How are you, Danielle? Are you doing well? Thank you for being with us. Frida say it, you're gonna go. This is a hard way of disarming Jonathan and myself by coming on the program and being hey, guys, it's so good to see you. After I ask a really hard question that she wants to avoid or spend a little extra time thinking about. Bring it on. Well, I think I'm bringing everything on. But you know, you look at the fake news industry. Now, Danielle, you're going to admit that they've been wrong. We've had four separate investigations. There is no conspiracy. There was no collusion with Russia with Donald Trump and his campaign. There was no obstruction of justice by Donald Trump speaking. He could have fired Muller, as he told me last night, constitutionally on the article too. He could have removed him from conflicts and he would have been replaced with somebody else. He chose not to do it. He did complain openly about it. But complaining, you know, how does an innocent person act tray out? He asked that question. I think an innocent person shouts their innocence. I don't think it is some person stands back quietly and hopes that everything goes away. And the president rightly, because now four separate times he's been proven innocent and was not part of any effort to collude. But Hillary Clinton, well she did use Russia disinformation she paid for. Why did Muller not investigate that? Well, that wasn't part of Muller's remat first and foremost Hill slow down. Muller's mandate was wide and broad, and it had to do with all things Russia collusion, Russia interference twenty sixteen election, and if he had time to investigate Taxi Medallion's loan applications tax is going back to the eighties and nineties. You're telling me that a phony Russian dossier bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, that was used as full of Russian lies, used as a basis for fiser applications and fiser fraud, and also disseminated to the American people by intelligence operatives to the Washington imposed and Clinton hacks like David Korne. You're saying that that has no room in Mueller's investigation because that doesn't sound reasonable to me. Well, they investigated Cohen. I think its part to understand whether he was a reliable witness that clearly there are huge numbers of husting us a problematic behavior and has passed, as you say, the taxing medallions, the bank fraud, and various other things. I do suspect that MULA looked into the basis, you know, the Steele dossier, But at the end of the day, Steele was a British vendor working for a law firms who worked for the DNC and the Democrats. And also anything that was the Steele dossier didn't actually come out until after the election, so the dossier itself had no impact on people's views of Donald Trump because nobody knew about it when they went to the polls. Jonathan, you know, first, I just want to tell daniel that I do appreciate her demeanor when she comes down here, as compared to MSNBC. You know, the way they demean the president and they don't make any good points. It's always just demean demean to mean. What I hope with Danielle is that she doesn't hold it all back and then eventually looked like Marsha Clark at the end of the O. J. Simpson trial where she's about to blow. You know, I don't have a bed Tonita. So just so the revelessness to understand when we discussed this stuff, and we discussed this stuff weekly, it's phenomenal to me how this we're still spending in this stuff, the way that the truth is all out there, just like you know, last night, I talked to some of the guys from Sirius that were down at the at the rally that President Trump had, and they said that the news of local news was reporting that it was almost a full crowd, and they had filmed earlier before the whole crowd got there, and they said they had never seen a rally like this, ever, that it was so packed and so full. And that's exactly the same way that Mueller and all the rest of these people work is that they present an image that they can create. They can use the media as an echo chamber to do that. And again it's it's all wise or it's all mistruth that are fabricated and then given weight through media. Daniel, you know, I've never gone to really acknowledge that maller is is somehow not a patriot. This is somebody who serves our country with incredible honor, and who put out a report and then sit very clearly you wasn't going to talk about it here. Again, this is not somebody who's out there in the media trying to get famous, trying to get in with the Democrats. And I really do think that somebody who has served this country, and there are numerous examples in his history, he's unimpeachable, and I don't think it's fair to go after him. I also, wait a minute, why did Muller hire Why did Mueller? Why couldn't he find one Republican? Why would you hire You're an attorney, why if you're investigating one candidate. Why would you hire the lawyer of another presidential candidate, Jeannie Ray once represented the Clinton Foundation, And why would you hire your pit pull a guy by the name of Andrew Weisman, as Sydney Powell points out, has been prone to use or not use exculpatory evidence, overturned nine zero in the Supreme Court, tens of thousands of jobs lost at and then the accounting issues at Enron reccounting, and then we had four Merrill executives put in jail for a year that was overturned by the Fifth Circuit. And you're telling then struck in page on top of it, And now we're hearing that it wasn't mother They got rid of struck in page. But he did have time to clean their phones and send them back to the manufacturer to get him cleaned. Now you're telling me, thanks, I agree, that's what struck on page seed over kicks messages was not appropriate to a FBI agents who are investigating the president. But the way you put it, nobody who works on anything related to government can ever have a view about anything political. These people are free, They have a freedom of speech right actually to make donations to political parties maybe some of them are Democrats, but it's not a reason to suspect or accuse them of somehow being corrupt. And by the way that report came out, and basically Muller should be President Trump's best friend because he did not have any finding of collision, he did not have any finding of obstruction. He would not make that decision, he passed it to Congress. We disagree over whether the Attorney general should have made that determination, but the end of this result and this huge investigation, is that the president is actually no longer under a crowd, under a cloud. And so I think, frankly, the president should be thrilled that Robert Muller didn't take advantage of the process, didn't try and make himself famous, and actually came to findings that I think are borne out by the facts in the law. Well, Jonathan, I don't I don't think that you can say that Mueller didn't. It said he couldn't because there was nothing there. But I got to ask you, Danielle, if if you're an attorney and you do twenty years of service as an attorney, a flawless service, ethical service, and then you go out and you lie in courts and you're caught, you're going to be considered at that point in time, in time and space you are a corrupt attorney. And Robert Mueller, yea, you would be despised for a few or after you're making Yeah. Sure, and regardless of what you know, Mueller's past history is I look at the same thing when I looked at John McCain. Past history is something that we give honored you know, for and we say thank you for that service. But it doesn't mean that the person is automatically going to be honorable now. And what Mueller did in the way that he ran that total investigation was from an investigator standpoint, completely skewed with people from the left and not set up for a clear and open and unbiased investigation from the very start. Even when you don't account the manufactured evidence in the echo chamber in the media, you have to look at who he's set up to do the investigation. It was not an unbiased group of people. It was a very biased group of people, some of whom were actually involved in the creation of that dossier. And so when you look at his service now, it's tainted period. You know, I don't agree. I have no reason I have no effects to understand or belief that the lawyers and FBI agents and analysts. I think there are hundreds of people right from a cross government who works on this and the idea that they're all somehow corrupt. But it doesn't because now let me let me say this, there could be a thousand investigators, but it doesn't matter if the people who are running the investigation are corrupt. It doesn't matter, right, And I don't I don't agree that just because you have a political persuasion or a political beliefs that you're corrupt. I don't. I don't buy it. I believe these people did their job. And when you put politics into investigation, it's corrupted. You're never going to find a person who doesn't have a political view. Where are you going to find lawyers or FBI agents who haven't follow Are you saying he couldn't find one Republican donor really not one? What about the appearance of impropriety? What about the appearance of corruption? How do you how do you justify taxi medallion investigations and loan applications but not a dirty Russian dossier that whose own author says he can't verify but then it's used to spy on Trump and on foreign soil. We have other spies, including blonde bombshells brought in and to go after Sam Clovis and Papadopoulos and Carter Page. And really, I mean, none of this sounds extraordinary to you, worthy of the investigation into Russian interference that, by the way, Devin Nunez warned about in twenty fourteen and Biden Obama never listened to. So a couple of things to I always say. And Connecticut, so the US any excuse me in Connecticut is investigating the investigator. We have the OIG, mister Harrowitz, who is investigating. What about the media that's lied to us for two and a half years. What about the media that has breathlessly hysterically reported lie after lie, anonymous source after anonymous source, suggesting that Trump was guilty of even treason, as Brennan says, And now we discover the fact that no, that never happened. But the only person that used Russian lies in the campaign to spy on the other campaign was Hillary Clinton, who we also know violated the Espionage Act. And we also know if we care about obstruction, Yeah, when she has subpeon at emails. You're you're a lawyer, Danielle. If I have a thirty three thousand subpoen at emails and I delete them, and I clean my hard drive with something called bleach BIP, nobody has ever heard of it before, and then I take I have Linda go out with a hammer and bust up all my devices and remove my sim cards. Would you say that I'm guilty of obstruction with the intent to destroy the evidence of an underlying crime. Well, here's the difference. Answer my question. I don't want the difference. I'm going to tell you I'm answering. Hillary Clinton was interviewed by the FBI and they did not determine that she intended for those those documents to be destroyed. And that is the difference. Compute matters. The worst that would happen when you destroy documents in a court case, if you don't do it intentionally, there is an adverse finding against you, which basically means that probably the jury is told that's probably bad stuff in there, and you get that kind of on your You have that disadvantage that the jury is told that the documents are gone, but you can assume that they were bad for you. If you don't haven't, And she showed up for an interview with the FBI, if you don't excuse me, and she showed up with two other people. That never happens. And by the way, they had already written her exoneration months earlier. So I'm not buying that that was a real investigation. And even Struck and Page laughed about it being a phony investigation, and that Lorette a Lynch, they say, had the fix in from the get go. Let me, let me just say this when it comes to Daniel knows this. If she was going to go to court and representing a client, and the judge and the judge and the prosecution and everybody on the prosecutor side were close confidants, and they were able to extremely pick people who had their ideology, you would be looking at this and asking for the trial to be set somewhere else because and under another judge and another prosecutor, because that's an unfair court. And it's the same thing here when people are hand picked by Mueller because of their political ideologies, and they take people in and they interview them with multiple people who were also going to be subpoenaed and interviewed. It makes no sense. I have to give I have to give Jonathan the last word, and I know that upsets Danielle. We usually give her the last word. But anyway, thank you both for being with us. Eight hundred nineful one, Sean Tolfree telephone number. You want to be a part of this extravagance. Oh Gary Woodland. I love this guy. He won the US Open, coming up next. The best players, they take it to another level mentally, whether they're the most visual or the most positive in their thoughts. But Gary Woodland today he really, for the most part, only saw what he wanted to have happened. There's a good friends behind the green waiting for Gary Woodland to try to finish this off. Got it? Major champion Gary Woodland has won the US Open. A friend of ours, Major Dan Rooney has started it. Knew that you were going to make that part even though it's like thirty or forty feet, because it would have wound you up. Thirteen underpart because thirteen is very important. It's special. Obviously, Major Dan's been a huge influence in my life, and you know, he's got me to understand that freedom isn't free, and there's many women that sacrifice and do so much for us, so I can go out and play a game in golf and live my life under freedom. And he's understood that. He's helped me understand that. And you know, I'm fortunate enough to wear patriarch colors with FUMA. We partnered with Volition in Folds of Honor to get back to the men and women that sacrifice so much for us. You know, these are such great organizations that you just heard Gary Woodland mentioned, and he is the twenty nineteen winner the US Open. You know, I was always, I thought a good athlete. I played hockey, ice hockey, roller hockey, We played basketball, baseball, I was a pitcher every sport imaginable. The only game I cannot play good at all is golf. But well, number one, I don't have enough time to get good at golf, and you need some time if we put in at it. He's one of the longest hitters at seventy percent. He averages about three hundred and fifteen yard drives. And more importantly, the background and the story of Gary Woodland is even more impressive. And you know, he played an incredible US Open this year to win this title. And Woodland's first major title in the fourth career PGA win puts the Kansas native and some elite company is he is just the twelfth golfer in the world to win a major over the past four seasons. And Gary Woodland, well, it's also the heart and the soul and who he is. Notably, he was wearing these Puma golf shoes, which I want to get a pair of. Sported the Stars and Stripes during its memorial run of Pebble Beach. You also wore Volition American gear which partnered with Folds of Honor, which we know real well started by Major Dan Rooney, an awesome human being and it's an honor to have him on the program today. How are you, sir, I'm great, Thanks for having me on. I really loved the shoes. I don't know, I mean, I watched it and then I know the story about you and Folds of Honor and Dan Rooney was a wonderful human being. And I've worked with a lot of military charities over the years and building homes for heroes and the Freedom Alliance and a bunch of others. And you don't see many athletes take on take on an issue like this so passionately and so openly. Why is this so important to you? I met Major Dan when I was in college. We both went to the University of Kansas. Yeah, he's quite a bit older than I am, but I was fortunate enough to meet him when I was going. I would say he's better looking too, but you know, I'm just what do I know? He would say that too. Yeah, but he got me to buy in. Um, he you know, I've my grandpa was in the military, my wife's grandpa was in the military, so I've been around the military growing up. But Dan got me to buy in what these families go through and what they sacrifice, not only the men women that are serving, but their families at home. And it made me really believe how special and how fortunate I am to live in America and the fact that I can go out and play a game and where the red, white, and blue and where are the stripes? To give back and support these families if it's a no brainer for me. Well, In two thousand and seven, Major Dan Rooney, he was an F sixteen fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, started the Folds of Honor Foundation. One seed, three nonprofit dedicated to providing educational scholarships to the families of our American heroes, and to date, the foundation has provided support to thousands of spouses and children of Americans fallen. Very much like the group by it aligned myself early with, which was the Freedom Alliance, and Ali North headed up that organization. And I don't think as a country, I mean, we forget, you know, I don't even like John Stewart. But John Stewart the other day went before Congress and he's talking about all of these first responders on nine to eleven. They got sick because they didn't have the proper protection and respirators, and they went in any way for days and weeks and months after the towers came down, and they having horrible health problems, and the government's debating whether or not we're going to take care of these people. And it's ridiculous to me. I don't think we do enough. Look at the scandal that we went through in the Obama years over the VA. For example, they had two sets some books. You know, they once said, our Kay, the guy comes in has heart issues, they don't call him back for a year or two later. But if he's alive and some weren't alive. We're gonna put it down that he only called two days before so they could get their bonuses. That actually happened. I don't know if you're aware of that. I'm not. I mean, it's crazy, right, it is. I mean, these many women sacrifice so much for us. You know, freedom isn't free, like Dan always says. That's so true, and it's our duty to give back to them. Tell, you know, tell everybody as we get going. Then I'm gonna ask a few golf questions if you don't mind, because I suck at golf and it drives me nuts. If no, why are you laughing at me? That mean I try hard. My brother in law is a scratch golfer. He's trying to teach me. Someday I've shot my low is an eighty once. I think I hit seventy nine. But it was like just you know, a string of luck those couple of days. But where can people get the gear that you're talking about? Because I think I want to get the shoes and I know you have golf shirts and other apparel actually good at Puma dot com um and you know they have a little link there to get the volition. UM. You know, that was a no brainer for me to partner with with Puma when they have the same beliefs as I do, and they bought into this volition and they bought into folds of honor. UM, it's a no brainer for me to partner with them. And you know, we got the shoes online UM as of two days, the Stars and stripes. They came out beautifully. They were good luck for me, UM, and they've been a great addition to Puma. So tell me you were, you know what a four sport athlete. I think in college I read at some point or you played a lot of sports. Basketball was one of them. I remember when did you start dedicating your athletic career golf and golf only? I you know, growing up, I always I wanted to play professional baseball or professional basketball, and I it was kind of the process of elimination once you got older and you realized there were guys that were a lot better than you. I kind of got forced into golf. Unfortunately, I happened to be pretty decent at it and I could make a future in it. But I played basketball one year in college. I realized quickly my first basketball game at the small school I went to. We played the University of Kansas. They were the number one team in the country, and I'm matched up again some guys that ended up being in the NBA for a long time, and I decided quickly in my first college game I needed to find something else to do, and unfortunately I had golf as on the back burner and transition to golf. Played four great years transferring to the University of Kansas, and then I've been out on the PJA Tour now since two thousand and nine, so it's been a it's been a long journey, but a great one. You know, you're we've only been out there really a short time when you think about it, but you know, it's how is it possible that your drive average drive? I think you're eleventh total and you're only swinging at seventy percent and it goes over three hundred and ten yards drive. My best drive is like two sixty two seventy if I really tag it. And I was a former hockey player. I kind of swing like a slap shot, so I know that's not helpful, but when I hit it, it goes pretty far. Yeah, you know, when I grew up playing golf. I didn't have a lesson so out of high school. So when I was playing golf, I wouldn't go to the driving range, and I went to see how far I could hit it. And that's that's one thing. It's hard to teach distance until Fortunately as a kid, I was learning how to hit it a long way, just because I feel like a John daily, rip it and grip it and grip it and rip it. Yeah, and the seventy percent comes in because now I want to hit it straight. Now it's about trying to keep it in play so I can continue to hit the golf ball so that I don't swing as hard as I can because I'm trying to hit it center in the face to hit to keep it in play. But I can still get it out there if I need to. I still have a little bit more in the tank. But it's nice to play from the fairway. I know everybody has always been very interested in the skills and followed Tiger's career. I felt when he won that tournament. I don't know what it is. I think America loves redemption, and ten years early we all know what happened, and he went off course for a little while, and then he had a lot of injuries he was dealing with. And when he came back in one, how did the players feel about that? The players love Tiger were we've played for the purses that we've played for, and we had the opportunities we have because of what he's done over the last twenty five years. He's been unbelievable. He's great to the locker room, and you know, when he was struggling. You know, a lot of people don't know how how good he was to the younger guys and you could call him, he would help you out. You know, he didn't have to do that, especially when he was fighting. He didn't know if he was gonna be able to come back. And now that he's come back here he won. The story's great and like I said, he's great for us. He's great for the game, and we definitely need him in there. Let me ask you, you know, because you have to work on so many aspects of golf, and I'm fascinated by it because I've tried. You know, I don't have the time to play and really get good at it, but I do enjoy going out and playing and I find it the most challenging sport that I've ever tried. Do you find that's the case for most people? I do, And I got an athlete and other sports that come and play and they get so frustrated. The ball's not moving. And you know, you got the sports they're playing. Balls are moving. People are I know, by the way, that should make it easier. It's right there, you idiot, just hit it. You know, it's so frustrating. It's more of a middle game than anything. It's so straight. The patience you need, it's but that's what makes it beautiful as well, something you can do forever, you know, And that's the good part. I actually think that Jack Nichol has made a good comment. He once said, you stop trying to play from the tips and stop playing from the proteas. If you're not a long hit or you know, play from the blue teas, play from the white teas. It doesn't make any difference. The idea is to go out and have fun. And if you're going to score a seventy nine from the blue or white teas rather than the gold tips, go go play there. And I guess our those are such that, you know, maybe we don't want to do that or admit we're getting older. But the other part of it is, you know, it's so counterintuitive because I read you know, you swing seventy percent. When I swing easier, I do better. My natural inclination is to hit a slap shot. When you hit a slap shot, you swing with everything you got. The ego is a big deal. I mean that you're calling me an ego maniac. Thanks a lot, Gary, We were really good friends up to know. Thanks a lot, Gary. I wish you luck in the next tournament. I really do tell me about your background and your life that I don't know. I'm just kind of inspired by your life story, and I'm really it makes me very happy when someone in your position takes the time to understand and respect and honor. You know, we forget a Memorial Day on the fourth of July and Veterans Day, etcetera, etcetera. And my dad fought four years in the Pacific, you know, all of those people that fought led and died. So we can play golf or we can barbecue, and we have family fun and we don't have to worry about some foreign country, you know, tearing this country apart. We have the greatest military in the history of mankind, and I don't think we give them enough credit in order. I think we're taking the best care of them, although I think President Trump has made tremendous strides fixing that. And it really is true that, you know, but for them, we wouldn't live these wonderful lives we live. It's so true. And everything you said was spot on, and you know, Major Dan's helped me believe that so much. And I've been able to spend time with men and women in the military and families that have lost their loved ones, that have gone over and sacrifice, and they have no care and it's it's sad. It's hard to see. And that's what fulls of honor is so special. They're giving these families of these men and women there that have been wounded or deceased over in Iraq and Afghanistan. They're giving their kid a chance and they're supporting. I mean, you know, a lot of that is is our duty as Americans to give back to these kids. You know, the government has their own things and the things that they need to take care of. Our duty as Americans is to take care of those that take care of us, and men and women go sacrifice so much for us, it's time for us to step back and give back for them. I was glad to see you. I saw the interview with my buddy Jim Gray is so amazing. By the way, so is Jim Nance. There are two of the finest broadcasters sports broadcasters in history, both of them, and they're both good friends of mine. Now, as I understand that you have a little boy, but you got twin girls coming when sometime this summer I do. I have a little boy that turns two on Sunday, and then I have identical twin girls coming about five or six weeks. So it's life's about to get really real quickly. Anyway, Congratulations, it was really fun to watch you win this tournament, and I'm sure there's going to be many more in the future. And if we can ever help with folds of honor you please let us know. And all my best to your family, all the best, Thank you so much for having me. All Right, that's gonna wrap things up. Her busy day. We are loaded up tonight. We are watching closely and what happens in Iran, we will get to all of that. That is important. We'll a full complete coverage of all of this the deep state. We have more brand new struck page text yep, thanks to the Judicial Watch. Biden is losing it, and losing it badly. His history on race is really atrocious. We'll see it tonight at nine. Back here tomorrow. Thanks for being with us.
