Castle as she is shocking on my throat, was fierce and chilling a little in front of everybody, and anybody that stirred up and trying to stay at that idea smashed there a little very personally. Did you ever throw a lamp at draftsman? No? I did. Did you ever throw a Bible lectrose? No? I didn't. Do you have a terrible temper? No, But I do get angry about things. I'm not going to deny that. Go to the end of the line. Why don't you go to the end of the line. The fact is we had four dead Americains. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk? One night, I have decided to go kill some Americans. What difference at this point? Does it make you want me to tell you what my husband thinks. My husband is not the secretary of State. I am so you asked my offension. I will tell you my opinion. I'm not going to be channeling my husband. This woman, this little little shoft spoken pardon me for the phrase dowdy woman that was seeing very unasserted, took a hold of my hand and squeezed it and said, do you understand everything that you do? I could have passed out at that moment. And she held around in my hand and she said, do you understand everything that you do? I mean cold chills when it in my spine. That's the first time I became afraid of that woman. Say you're seeing in line, I don't think we wrong and talk to dollars a yelling. I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic and we should stand up a safe we are America, that we have a right to debate and disabrate with any administration. I did not have sexual relations for that woman. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time. Now, don't you someday want to see a woman president of United States of America. It depends upon what the meaning of the word is. Yeah, I'm just chilling in cedar rapids. All right, there you have it. You heard the voices of George Stephanopolis, Dedie Myers, wanted to Roderick, and then, of course the vicious temper of the person that would like to be your next president, Hillary, I'm Clinton. Now, this is the book that everybody's been talking about. His first interview, it's called a Crisis of Character. A White House Secret Service officer discloses his firsthand experience with Hillary Bill and how they operate. Let me go to the introduction. I dreamed of becoming an elite White House Secret Service officer, a member of its uniform division. Nothing more and certainly nothing less. My dream came true. I stood guard a pistol at my hip outside the Oval Office, the last barrier before anyone saw Bill Clinton, the last barrier before Monica Lewinsky saw Bill Clinton. Yes, I am that Secret Service officer. I saw Monica, and I saw a lot more. I saw Hillary too. I witnessed her obscenity, lace tirades, or shifting of blame, how she berated Vince Foster until he could stand no more, and how minor incidents involving blue gloves and botched invitations sent her into a tizzy, and much more. Are uh we welcome to the program. Former presidential Secret Service officer Gary Burners with us. How are you? I'm fine? Thank you so much for having me. You ready for the media onslaught left wing media onslaught that has certainly come in your way. I spent the whole weekend reading the book. I have no doubt when you go on your media tour, it's gonna be vicious. You're gonna be put on trial. You ready, Yes, I think so. I've experienced a little bit before when this first happened, when the story broke, so um, I have a little bit of experience with it. But I'm ready. I've got my ducks in a row. As we say, yeah, well, you know you're telling your story, And why don't we go to the heart before we even get started into the facts of the story. Why do you think this is important? You go? You do explain it, especially and I'll jump to the end of the book a little bit here, um, because this is so important to you actually go into great detail that you know you had to answer the same question. Now that you answered, you were asked to go before Ken Starr and what am I going to do about it? And you knew the answer and that you have to speak up? Why? Yes? Well it At that time when I was being investigated by Judge Starr, was my fear was that if I didn't tell the truth once I had to testify, that they would jail me. And they told me they did. I mean a few were facing seven years in jail off he didn't tell the truth at least. Yeah, and and a couple of times FBI agents involved an investigation actually threatened to arrest me. Um I uh. I came to this conclusion, Sean, that telling the truth is important protect the Constitution and the oath that I took to the President of the United States and the Constitution, and that one man does not supersede that all this happened because one man couldn't step up. The man that was the President United States at the time couldn't step up and be a man and say what he did, and it all would have been over. You sign no confidentiality agree, so you have every right to write this book. That's correct. And the reasoning I'm coming out now is cause I want everybody to know the truth. I want them to know how these people function, and I want them to know about the wake of destruction of people that they leave behind them. This is the truth. Um, you know, I doubt I don't know if I'm going to convince anybody how they're going to vote. The most important thing about voting is as soon as you become eighteen, register and vote, vote your conscience and and get educated on it. And I hope this my book, my true life story here helps people, um, young people especially understand really how they work. At the end of the book, you said, what I learned about the Clinton's first hand the hard way is very important. It's but with Hillary Clinton running for president again, it feels uncomfortable like the nineties again, as if America were trapped in some great cruel time machine are literally hurling us back to the land of Monica and Mogadishu and a thousand other Clinton era nightmares. Fully one as the saying goes, your fault, fool me twice. The bottom line you go on to say, my job in the nineties was to lay down my life for the president. My obligation today is to raise my voice to help safeguard the presidency from Bill and Hillary Clinton, and to remind readers like you what happened back then. We all remember, or should remember, what a Clinton White House was like. If we board that time machine for a return trip, it's our fault, yes, and and and that's true. I UM. As we go onto the interview, I'm gonna be able to UM expand a little bit more. But there's just so many examples of of UM. For instance, UM routinely in the very beginning in the early nineties, Mrs Clinton uses the term the right wing conspiracy. There's no such thing. It's not the right wind conspiracy. It's continuous bad behavior and bad decisions. And even when they do to do try to do some kind of policy, something may be good for the country, it completely falls apart because there's so many scandals going on they can't focus on running the country. I mean, I've used this analogy before, Sean. If you took every scandal that President Bill Quentin was involved in and put it on UM single spaces, you couldn't fit it on two pieces of paper. It's incredible. You describe her leadership style as volcanic, volcanic impulsive, enabled by sycophants, disdainful of the rules set for everyone else who hasn't changed a bit. I is true. I never understood. It didn't take long to figure out how they worked and how they acted. And you know, at the time, UM, I was a member of the Secret Service Uniform Division, and I just, you know, watch what went on, and I observed the way people acted around her and her co workers, these people that we referred to back then as the Arkansas Mafia friends from Arkansas. UM, they were afraid of her. They were terrified. And at first, of like, I don't understand that. And by this time I had I had been close to her proximity wise, when I saw her lash out at somebody, and to me it was almost comical. I was like, God, I've never seen anybody so upset over something so simple, and her her anger and rage isn't fixing anything. It never does it never. I don't think anger or rage works for anybody. You said, though portrayed as the long suffering spouse of an unfaithful husband, whose infidelities I personally observed and new to be true. The Hillary Clinton I saw was anything but a sympathetic victim. Now, those loyal to her kept coming back for these volcanic eruptions of hers. Witness first hand the Clinton's personal and professional dysfunction. So consumed were they by scandal, so intent on destroying their real or imagined enemies. Governing was an afterthought, was why don't you go into describing this temper that you're describing so, Um, there's many examples of that. Um. The one that I always comes to mind is um I refer to as the blue Glove incident, right, And UM, so what what happened is is that a group of people were coming in to visit with the President and his senior staff. And you said he was very charming to people. He would always want to give them extra time. He was always accommodating to anybody that came by. Yes he could. Um, he was incredibly charming. UM. I actually had the opportunity to introduce some family members to him one time, and my my father, for five minutes, couldn't open his mouth. I mean, it was just incredible. And so anyway, Mrs Clinton's anger at this time, these visitors were coming in and through a series of errors with the Uniform Division. As these guests were coming in, there was there was about thirty to forty I think guests, and they were representative members of the gang and lesbian coalition that helped get President elected elected the first time and so um under the promise that he would immediately allow gays in the military. And things were different back then, as you well remember, I'm sure you know. And then it became a compromise with donat right, and they were furious about that. So so the person bringing them in was former Congressman Barney Frank. So I'm actually posted at the overall Oval office and I get a phone call from a friend of mine and he described to me, he said, heads up, we just had an incident. And and what he described to me was as the guests were coming in, UM, the officers that were running the midle detectors, they were putting all these blue gloves that were required to wear. When Barney Barney Franks all them putting the gloves on, he said, why are you putting those gloves on? Officer? And the one guy Um I refer to him in the book is crusty. He's this great old marine from Vietnam era. Um. He put the gloves on. He looked the congressman right in the eye and goes, why do you think What Barney Frank didn't know was the list that we had who was coming in. It actually said on the top HIV positive representatives. Now that we all do that, you can't get HIV that way, but we still have to wear the gloves because we're protecting ourselves some other stuff. So it was absolutely so um. When they got in, they took advantage of what happened there and they berated the staff, and it got up to Mrs Clinton and she went off the deep end. And I described in the book is on a scale of one to ten, this was about a one, considering what goes on around the world and what the presidency is responsible for. She so, I get a heads up phone call from an officer on the east side of the White House said heads up, here comes Mrs Clinton and she's mad. So um. She came over, she went into the Oval office and she berated the president for about forty minutes. It's so loud that the agent and I that were posted outside the Oval office. Um actually closed a doorway that blocked off the Roosevelt Room and some mounter hallways because she was so loud, and she she berated the president. She blamed everything on us. She called us a bunch of um. Yeah, don't worry, you can't say it. I'm ready, I know what you're gonna say. She's caught us a bunch of rear ends and and and used a lot of foul language, and it was It got so bad that at one point the agent looked at me and realized, he said, the president is actually defending you guys. And it was kind of a comical moment. I'm like, oh my god, the President's defending She wanted to get rid of you because she said, oh, they're loyal to George Herbert Walker Bush. They were here with him, and they're disloyal to us. They have been from day one. Sure, they did have a weird paranoia about the Bush administration. They actually replaced the phone system because they thought they had a tapped almost the brand new phone system when they first got there, and it was expensive and they didn't have a way to pay for it at first. Yeah, well, you talk at length of to how they became, you know, spending a lot of money was a big issue, and and you had to draw straws to give her the bad news. Tell us about you start chapter one the vase. Yes. So, Um, I come in to work one morning. I'm assigned to the Oval office, that's my permanent post at the time, and I come in earlier, I get my workout in and um, as I'm heading over, I run into a couple of the people that work in the mansion. Um, and they said, oh, way do you get in there and hear what happened? So I'm like okay. So, um, I went over to the mansion to talk to my buddy who worked in the on the mansion floor, and I said, what's going on? I just saw George and and and you know so and so that They said something happened. They said, oh, the that the president the first Lady had had this huge fight last night and it was so loud that the people that work in the mansion that take care of the First family, like they backed away downstairs and it was loud, and then there was a loud noise, like a crashing sound. And when it was up went up to be investigated. Um, there was a broken vase on the floor, and you know, nothing at the one was across the hall from where it was normally placed. It wasn't like it didn't fall over. It was right that that appears to be. And the next morning he had a black eye. He yeah, the next time I saw him, he had a black eye. You know, I don't you know, I wasn't there, so I don't know if he hit her, if she hit him, I don't know she threw the vase at him. I don't know how he got the black eye. But I'm gonna tell you this. The gardener didn't give it to him. Nobody in the Secret Service had him. And so when he came down that that next morning, you know, you could see they were trying to hide a black mark with makeup and stuff, and right, it didn't it didn't work. And you even asked, oh, and they said it's allergies, which it was allergies. And one eye on two right, right, and yeah, exactly. We uh were joined by Gary Byrne. We have a lot of time another hour with Gary. He's gonna stay with us. His brand new book it's making a lot of headlines. His first interview it's called a Crisis of Character. A White House Secret Service officer discloses his firsthand experience with Hillary Bill and how they operate. You can get the book at Amazon dot com. We have it on our website, Hannity dot com, and also in bookstores everywhere starting tomorrow, Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. All right, News round Up, Information overload. Our Here on the Sean Hannity Show, we have Senator Mike Lee is gonna stop by in studio coming up at the bottom of this half hour. We continue with Secret Service Officer Gary Byrne. He's got a brand new book out. It's made a lot of news. It's called a Crisis of Character. White House Secret Service officer discloses his firsthand experience with Hillary Bill and how they operate. Let me go back to the women part of it. You knew things were going on. Then there was the map room incident with Eleanor Mondel. You know for a fact that there were other women as well that we don't know whose names they are, and you're not disclosing them. And you even at one point hit evidence for Bill Clinton. Sure did you know you were breaking the law doing that? Well? It technically wasn't Evans because I didn't know there was a there wasn't an investigation going on, all right, know that, but yes there was. There was an incident, a couple of incidents is where the Navy stewart brought to my attention that he had found some hand towels, white hand towels that were, in one case staying with lipstick, in another case staying with men's fluids. What appeared to be, oh, good, g um, this is the president, this is the oval office. Reagan wouldn't take his jacket off in that office, for crying out right, he wouldn't walk across the seal. So when I mentioned earlier that I've gone through some kind of threshold, there's a good example of what pushed me through it a little bit. It's just bizarre. So um, the steward was described, so you knew who's you knew who was listen to any adult mayle those what we were looking at, right, And my fear was that, you know, the only people that handled that stuff where the navy Stewart's downstairs that lost they're all laughing in there. Well that's that, you know what it stopped. This crew has got us. That's my crew there, very bad people. They want the salicous details. Yeah, they they they they washed the towels. They would know. These guys are navy men, they know what they would be looking at. And at this point I was trying to protect for many more rumors. So I told Nelvis I found the plastic bag out of the trash can liner. I told nels to throw them in the bag and I destroyed them right And then, of course, some time later when the story broke, uh broke by Matt Drudge, and then I heard about it on the Howard Stern Show, and I knew right then. I mean, the my stomach almost flipped out of my body. I was so terrified because I connected thoughts instantly. You know, that story is true. It's out. They're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna come after us. You know, it's just gotta be surreal. You know, here, you wanted to do this job your whole life, and the next thing you know, you're throwing out soiled towels of the president with his mistress. Yeah and uh and mistresses yeah and and and in the case of the intern. By this time or at some point, she becomes a government employee. So now she's a government paid mistress. It was bizarre when you think about it. In hindsight, it's just you know, well, I mean it's certainly reckless on for a whole variety of reasons. Here, Um, let me ask you this question. You said during the shutdown, when the when Monica was visiting and she gained access that she wanted so badly, were you there at that point? You were outside the door? I was, Um, so when all this went on and she was there a lot more than we knew. Yeah, sure, the which are describing is uh. And the shutdown was actually kind of a windfall for Monica because the way it works is the only essential people would come in now, so the only essential people that were allowed to come in and help President Clinton was one assistant, which would have been Betty Curry and then leon Panetta, and he could have a couple interns, and she ended up being one of the interns. And in hindsight, it was like, it's almost comical. I mean, you can't write this, and so that's when she gets so during this time, these these interns, they were across from the Oval office in the Roosevelt Room, and that's where they were kind of working at it, and when they needed something done, you know, they would go and find them there and then ask them to do it. And and if Hillary came by during any of this, you were you were supposed to refuse Hillary entry. No, you can't refuse the first lady entry. But we certainly were paying attention to her movements when you're a protectee of the Secret Services, and they would talk to you saying, watch out, she's on the warpath, and you would know before she came down, right, they would use her call sign. They'd say, you know, Evergreen moving, Uh, Evergreen moving. We already know she's in the mansion, so she's leaving the private living quarters. And then you would you know, once she hit the ground floor, if they said Hillary west Wing, you know she was headed that way. Wasn't the President at all embarrassed when he got caught with any of these women, or eleanor Mondale or for example, you didn't you see them making out on the Oval office desk. No, I saw ellenor Mondale and the President making out in the map room, and uh, I mean it was like it was, Yes, they were like two high school seniors, um lip locked you know, hugging each other. And what happened was is the one of the one of the housemen, excuse me, navy stewarts went to go into the room to deliver a clean shirt to the president. He had a shirt in his hand, and as he started towards the door, you know, he said hi to us. I just happened to be standing there on my way back to my post. And he opened the door, but he was looking at us, and there they were. But everybody knew. How did he not think this was gonna come out? Everybody knew. You don't think he cared. I don't think he cared that people knew because he was used to being covered, he was used to being protected, He was used to getting away with so it was expected that your job is you're gonna be quiet about this. I think, in hindsight, I think that everything that I heard from Markansas, from the troopers and sheriff's down there, was true. And the one officer actually told you that everything you hear about them is true and worse. Yes, And when he did, I'm telling you, it was like he was talking looking right through me. He it was a significant I mean, I only knew this guy for a couple of minutes. And when he told me that, I felt like it was somebody telling me something. You know, Gary, here's some good investment advice for your life. You know what I mean. He was serious and he meant it, and um, so yeah, it was very bizarre time, Sean. Uh, you talk in the book, for example, you we have become work friends. He knew that by serving the president, even a single cup of tea to ease his mind, he served as nation whatever the president needed, whenever he needed it. And you're talking about the White House, Uh, what's the position, So the Stewart Stewart. Yeah, I'm probably describing Nelvus there, but there were recorded now Stewarts. Yeah, there were quite a few Stuarts. They have a great history there. Traditionally they were actually all the Filipino men, and it was they have a great story behind that. So yeah, I mean you're describing a surreal tell Us about the end of your relationship with him. He's getting ready to you know, when you were leaving so leaving Nelvis, No, no, no leaving you know, for example, you spent you left job right so with the president. So, um, sometime before the story broke. Um, I had basically had enough of what was going on, and I didn't know what was coming, but I just I was tired of seeing some of the stuff that was going on, and it was time for me to move on. So I was trying to get into a position in the un Secret Service Uniform Division Tour section, and they do all the tours for the public and for the First Family and events. If you've ever been to the White House for an event, the Uniform Division people screen you in and out and and um. So anyway, I wanted to go to tours because I had enough of what was going on at the Oval Office and then UM and then eventually I left tours and went out to the training center, UM to to get away from it. And then of course when the when the story broke, all those relationships with those people are under a huge strain because everybody was terrified about testifying and and and so you didn't want to do it. No, I did not. I wanted nothing to do with it because I knew that I was gonna have to talk about stuff that. I mean, it sounds silly saying it now because I'm I'm coming out with all this, but it was really nobody's business. And I mean that as far as it could all been stopped by the President coming for and and manning up and doing the right thing and saying, yes, this did happen. Um, here's the steps we're gonna take so it never happens again, and I'm sorry, and get on with running the government instead of that and huge debacle with Congress. It was incredible. Yeah, you were even threatened at one point that somebody would arrest you in front of your pregnant wife. Yes, the secret excuse me, the FBI agent that was um involved in one particular day when I was being deposed at the Judge Star's office, temporary office, and they were trying to get me riled up, and they did, and um, you know, it was a little embarrassing that I let them get me riled up, But you know you can only when you threatened them, you know, talk about somebody's spouse with your first kid. It's uh, that's a little Yeah. It was over the top, and he got what he wanted a reaction, and I gave him one. When we hear the stories and we go over for example, the secret server, the secret server email thing of of Hillary when we hear that, and you discussed a little bit in the book about Benghazi and some of the other current events. But that fits the character absolutely, It falls right into place. It's the same. It's the same mentality or or or actions that I that I saw the whole time I was there. I Hillary Clinton, I'm not Actually, I don't have to follow procedure. You do what I want when I do it, do as I say, not as I do. You say, all of this was such a distraction to such a big level that governing was last on their list. Yeah, that's exactly the way appeared. And this is somebody who watched close by the You know when when all your staff, when George Stefanopolis and Rahm Emanuel and these guys are doing nothing but putting out scandals and trying to fix stuff and twist it. Christ, they must have been exhausted when you think of all the scame. You even talked about leon Panetta and Dick Morris huddling. I'm sorry leon Panetta was was the target of Hillary and Dick Morris discussing how to get rid of him as the chief of staff. Well, I'm not I'm not sure if um if they were actually trying to get rid of what they were doing, is they were they were meeting with Dick Morris at night. Now, we would see Dick Morris men usually around ten o'clock at night. We'd get a phone call from the Southwest Gate, you know, and the guy said, hey, Gary Morris is here, and he'd come up and he always looked like he was lost in the West Way. He'd come through the west side, and then if the President wasn't in the Oval office, we would, um, you know, we would give him directions to walk to the next officer, get him over the mansion. And then now, of course I used we used to see closer to Hillary or to Bill Well. He was closer to Hillary. She apparently was his friend, and um, he was, you know, back then, a Republican operative or and he was teaching them what he kind of claims the inventor was, you know, triangulation, excuse me, triangulation. And so now, of course we don't know what's going on. But when I read Leon Panetta's book and he talked about this, it fell right into place. Right. We used to see Dick Morris coming in all the time. I mean, we never said anything anybody, that's not our job. But um, it had to be a cool job though for you. I was thinking about this as I was reading about your life and background. I mean, every day you're seeing big names coming in and tryed to It's incredible. It was it was. I never wanted to leave, and of course that changed when this bizarre stuff happened. Um, I would you know, in hindsight, UM, if that hadn't happened, they would have had to take me out of there in a wheelchair with the crowbar. What did you think about Clinton when you knew he was lying to the nation. I was embarrassed, I was disgraced, and I was afraid because I was afraid. I mean, as far as the the relationship with the intern went, I was afraid. I knew it would come back to us, you know what, you know, to come out. There was just too many people that knew. You know. One of the one of the things that saved us, and I talked about this in the book, was that Linda Tripp did the right thing. Linda Trip did the right thing the way Linda Trip and and Monica wouldn't have met but for you pushing and forcing the issue of getting Monica out of it. It didn't last too long, but long enough her to meet Linda. Yeah. I believe that's correct when she went over there. So um but um yeah, so um Linda trip. Excuse me, yeah, Lenda Trip. By encouraging Monica to keep the dress and then getting hold of it, that was evidence. And if that wasn't there, it would have just been our word against his and the ideal that you can go in there. I mean, maybe the president and Mrs Clinton and high up government people can get away with answering under oath of I don't remember, I don't recall, but somebody in the Secret Service is not going to get away with that. One of the things I've been though the Oval Office maybe four times. I don't you would have been gone by that. Um, but I remember the first time I walked in there. It was like a surreal experience. You don't really feel like it seems like everything is in slow motion. It never goes away that feeling because I almost felt like, wait a minute, this isn't really the president. Yeah, this must be a double Yeah no that did anyone ever tell you that before? Yes? Yes, And I've experienced it myself where it's almost like one one evening, I actually had the opportunity um to introduce my parents and some family friends to President Clinton and and we were taking a tour and he was coming back and from the East Side. He was doing some public service announcements and the agent said, hey, we're bringing him over. Just have your family standing here, you know, And he came up and talked to them, and they were just floored and it was great, and it was a great experience. And it's one of those things when I talk about having a hard time coming out and whatever pushed me forward to do this, that was one of those experiences where I felt, you know, I certainly feel like the word portray comes in there, but clearly I think it's more important for the American people to know the truth about these And you're ready for what's coming your way out in this interview, I am. And and you don't care. You already thought that through. I care. But but you know, when you do the kind of work that I've done, and people that do what I do, you know, you look at your goal and you look what's important, and then you you do you take the exogen. You think the country needs to know this before they go and vote in November. I do, I absolutely do. So the person that we know when Hillary Clinton is a phony, it is a it is a mirage. It's not real, No, it is, it's a it's a carefully manufactured political basically, it's not even cashually carefully manufactured if you really pay attention and you're not completely um um, a Democrat or a Clinton uh follower. You see these things I'm talking about. You know it's true. You see the ages, You've You've heard these stories. And if somebody that does what I did and is taking the risk, you know, I'm not taking this risk for any other reason but the truth. You know, by the time this is all over with, who knows what's going to be left to me so to speak. So um, but I think it's important people need to know this. And um um, you know, if what I've done is really not right, well then I'll deal with that someday when I'm judging, you know, uh in heavan so well, the book is phenomenal. I couldn't put it down, Honestly. I opened it up this weekend and I'm like half of sleep, but I'm still reading it. You know, we're fighting sleep and reading a book like we wrote some of it like that. Crisis of Character is the name of the book. A White House Secret Service officer discloses his firsthand experience with Hillary Bill and how they operate. He'll join us on Hannity tonight at ten.

Castle as she is shocking on my throat, was fierce and chilling a little in front of everybody, and anybody that stirred up and trying to stay at that idea smashed there a little very personally. Did you ever throw a lamp at draftsman? No? I did. Did you ever throw a Bible lectrose? No? I didn't. Do you have a terrible temper? No, But I do get angry about things. I'm not going to deny that. Go to the end of the line. Why don't you go to the end of the line. The fact is we had four dead Americains. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk? One night, I have decided to go kill some Americans. What difference at this point? Does it make you want me to tell you what my husband thinks. My husband is not the secretary of State. I am so you asked my offension. I will tell you my opinion. I'm not going to be channeling my husband. This woman, this little little shoft spoken pardon me for the phrase dowdy woman that was seeing very unasserted, took a hold of my hand and squeezed it and said, do you understand everything that you do? I could have passed out at that moment. And she held around in my hand and she said, do you understand everything that you do? I mean cold chills when it in my spine. That's the first time I became afraid of that woman. Say you're seeing in line, I don't think we wrong and talk to dollars a yelling. I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic and we should stand up a safe we are America, that we have a right to debate and disabrate with any administration. I did not have sexual relations for that woman. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time. Now, don't you someday want to see a woman president of United States of America. It depends upon what the meaning of the word is. Yeah, I'm just chilling in cedar rapids. All right, there you have it. You heard the voices of George Stephanopolis, Dedie Myers, wanted to Roderick, and then, of course the vicious temper of the person that would like to be your next president, Hillary, I'm Clinton. Now, this is the book that everybody's been talking about. His first interview, it's called a Crisis of Character. A White House Secret Service officer discloses his firsthand experience with Hillary Bill and how they operate. Let me go to the introduction. I dreamed of becoming an elite White House Secret Service officer, a member of its uniform division. Nothing more and certainly nothing less. My dream came true. I stood guard a pistol at my hip outside the Oval Office, the last barrier before anyone saw Bill Clinton, the last barrier before Monica Lewinsky saw Bill Clinton. Yes, I am that Secret Service officer. I saw Monica, and I saw a lot more. I saw Hillary too. I witnessed her obscenity, lace tirades, or shifting of blame, how she berated Vince Foster until he could stand no more, and how minor incidents involving blue gloves and botched invitations sent her into a tizzy, and much more. Are uh we welcome to the program. Former presidential Secret Service officer Gary Burners with us. How are you? I'm fine? Thank you so much for having me. You ready for the media onslaught left wing media onslaught that has certainly come in your way. I spent the whole weekend reading the book. I have no doubt when you go on your media tour, it's gonna be vicious. You're gonna be put on trial. You ready, Yes, I think so. I've experienced a little bit before when this first happened, when the story broke, so um, I have a little bit of experience with it. But I'm ready. I've got my ducks in a row. As we say, yeah, well, you know you're telling your story, And why don't we go to the heart before we even get started into the facts of the story. Why do you think this is important? You go? You do explain it, especially and I'll jump to the end of the book a little bit here, um, because this is so important to you actually go into great detail that you know you had to answer the same question. Now that you answered, you were asked to go before Ken Starr and what am I going to do about it? And you knew the answer and that you have to speak up? Why? Yes? Well it At that time when I was being investigated by Judge Starr, was my fear was that if I didn't tell the truth once I had to testify, that they would jail me. And they told me they did. I mean a few were facing seven years in jail off he didn't tell the truth at least. Yeah, and and a couple of times FBI agents involved an investigation actually threatened to arrest me. Um I uh. I came to this conclusion, Sean, that telling the truth is important protect the Constitution and the oath that I took to the President of the United States and the Constitution, and that one man does not supersede that all this happened because one man couldn't step up. The man that was the President United States at the time couldn't step up and be a man and say what he did, and it all would have been over. You sign no confidentiality agree, so you have every right to write this book. That's correct. And the reasoning I'm coming out now is cause I want everybody to know the truth. I want them to know how these people function, and I want them to know about the wake of destruction of people that they leave behind them. This is the truth. Um, you know, I doubt I don't know if I'm going to convince anybody how they're going to vote. The most important thing about voting is as soon as you become eighteen, register and vote, vote your conscience and and get educated on it. And I hope this my book, my true life story here helps people, um, young people especially understand really how they work. At the end of the book, you said, what I learned about the Clinton's first hand the hard way is very important. It's but with Hillary Clinton running for president again, it feels uncomfortable like the nineties again, as if America were trapped in some great cruel time machine are literally hurling us back to the land of Monica and Mogadishu and a thousand other Clinton era nightmares. Fully one as the saying goes, your fault, fool me twice. The bottom line you go on to say, my job in the nineties was to lay down my life for the president. My obligation today is to raise my voice to help safeguard the presidency from Bill and Hillary Clinton, and to remind readers like you what happened back then. We all remember, or should remember, what a Clinton White House was like. If we board that time machine for a return trip, it's our fault, yes, and and and that's true. I UM. As we go onto the interview, I'm gonna be able to UM expand a little bit more. But there's just so many examples of of UM. For instance, UM routinely in the very beginning in the early nineties, Mrs Clinton uses the term the right wing conspiracy. There's no such thing. It's not the right wind conspiracy. It's continuous bad behavior and bad decisions. And even when they do to do try to do some kind of policy, something may be good for the country, it completely falls apart because there's so many scandals going on they can't focus on running the country. I mean, I've used this analogy before, Sean. If you took every scandal that President Bill Quentin was involved in and put it on UM single spaces, you couldn't fit it on two pieces of paper. It's incredible. You describe her leadership style as volcanic, volcanic impulsive, enabled by sycophants, disdainful of the rules set for everyone else who hasn't changed a bit. I is true. I never understood. It didn't take long to figure out how they worked and how they acted. And you know, at the time, UM, I was a member of the Secret Service Uniform Division, and I just, you know, watch what went on, and I observed the way people acted around her and her co workers, these people that we referred to back then as the Arkansas Mafia friends from Arkansas. UM, they were afraid of her. They were terrified. And at first, of like, I don't understand that. And by this time I had I had been close to her proximity wise, when I saw her lash out at somebody, and to me it was almost comical. I was like, God, I've never seen anybody so upset over something so simple, and her her anger and rage isn't fixing anything. It never does it never. I don't think anger or rage works for anybody. You said, though portrayed as the long suffering spouse of an unfaithful husband, whose infidelities I personally observed and new to be true. The Hillary Clinton I saw was anything but a sympathetic victim. Now, those loyal to her kept coming back for these volcanic eruptions of hers. Witness first hand the Clinton's personal and professional dysfunction. So consumed were they by scandal, so intent on destroying their real or imagined enemies. Governing was an afterthought, was why don't you go into describing this temper that you're describing so, Um, there's many examples of that. Um. The one that I always comes to mind is um I refer to as the blue Glove incident, right, And UM, so what what happened is is that a group of people were coming in to visit with the President and his senior staff. And you said he was very charming to people. He would always want to give them extra time. He was always accommodating to anybody that came by. Yes he could. Um, he was incredibly charming. UM. I actually had the opportunity to introduce some family members to him one time, and my my father, for five minutes, couldn't open his mouth. I mean, it was just incredible. And so anyway, Mrs Clinton's anger at this time, these visitors were coming in and through a series of errors with the Uniform Division. As these guests were coming in, there was there was about thirty to forty I think guests, and they were representative members of the gang and lesbian coalition that helped get President elected elected the first time and so um under the promise that he would immediately allow gays in the military. And things were different back then, as you well remember, I'm sure you know. And then it became a compromise with donat right, and they were furious about that. So so the person bringing them in was former Congressman Barney Frank. So I'm actually posted at the overall Oval office and I get a phone call from a friend of mine and he described to me, he said, heads up, we just had an incident. And and what he described to me was as the guests were coming in, UM, the officers that were running the midle detectors, they were putting all these blue gloves that were required to wear. When Barney Barney Franks all them putting the gloves on, he said, why are you putting those gloves on? Officer? And the one guy Um I refer to him in the book is crusty. He's this great old marine from Vietnam era. Um. He put the gloves on. He looked the congressman right in the eye and goes, why do you think What Barney Frank didn't know was the list that we had who was coming in. It actually said on the top HIV positive representatives. Now that we all do that, you can't get HIV that way, but we still have to wear the gloves because we're protecting ourselves some other stuff. So it was absolutely so um. When they got in, they took advantage of what happened there and they berated the staff, and it got up to Mrs Clinton and she went off the deep end. And I described in the book is on a scale of one to ten, this was about a one, considering what goes on around the world and what the presidency is responsible for. She so, I get a heads up phone call from an officer on the east side of the White House said heads up, here comes Mrs Clinton and she's mad. So um. She came over, she went into the Oval office and she berated the president for about forty minutes. It's so loud that the agent and I that were posted outside the Oval office. Um actually closed a doorway that blocked off the Roosevelt Room and some mounter hallways because she was so loud, and she she berated the president. She blamed everything on us. She called us a bunch of um. Yeah, don't worry, you can't say it. I'm ready, I know what you're gonna say. She's caught us a bunch of rear ends and and and used a lot of foul language, and it was It got so bad that at one point the agent looked at me and realized, he said, the president is actually defending you guys. And it was kind of a comical moment. I'm like, oh my god, the President's defending She wanted to get rid of you because she said, oh, they're loyal to George Herbert Walker Bush. They were here with him, and they're disloyal to us. They have been from day one. Sure, they did have a weird paranoia about the Bush administration. They actually replaced the phone system because they thought they had a tapped almost the brand new phone system when they first got there, and it was expensive and they didn't have a way to pay for it at first. Yeah, well, you talk at length of to how they became, you know, spending a lot of money was a big issue, and and you had to draw straws to give her the bad news. Tell us about you start chapter one the vase. Yes. So, Um, I come in to work one morning. I'm assigned to the Oval office, that's my permanent post at the time, and I come in earlier, I get my workout in and um, as I'm heading over, I run into a couple of the people that work in the mansion. Um, and they said, oh, way do you get in there and hear what happened? So I'm like okay. So, um, I went over to the mansion to talk to my buddy who worked in the on the mansion floor, and I said, what's going on? I just saw George and and and you know so and so that They said something happened. They said, oh, the that the president the first Lady had had this huge fight last night and it was so loud that the people that work in the mansion that take care of the First family, like they backed away downstairs and it was loud, and then there was a loud noise, like a crashing sound. And when it was up went up to be investigated. Um, there was a broken vase on the floor, and you know, nothing at the one was across the hall from where it was normally placed. It wasn't like it didn't fall over. It was right that that appears to be. And the next morning he had a black eye. He yeah, the next time I saw him, he had a black eye. You know, I don't you know, I wasn't there, so I don't know if he hit her, if she hit him, I don't know she threw the vase at him. I don't know how he got the black eye. But I'm gonna tell you this. The gardener didn't give it to him. Nobody in the Secret Service had him. And so when he came down that that next morning, you know, you could see they were trying to hide a black mark with makeup and stuff, and right, it didn't it didn't work. And you even asked, oh, and they said it's allergies, which it was allergies. And one eye on two right, right, and yeah, exactly. We uh were joined by Gary Byrne. We have a lot of time another hour with Gary. He's gonna stay with us. His brand new book it's making a lot of headlines. His first interview it's called a Crisis of Character. A White House Secret Service officer discloses his firsthand experience with Hillary Bill and how they operate. You can get the book at Amazon dot com. We have it on our website, Hannity dot com, and also in bookstores everywhere starting tomorrow, Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. All right, News round Up, Information overload. Our Here on the Sean Hannity Show, we have Senator Mike Lee is gonna stop by in studio coming up at the bottom of this half hour. We continue with Secret Service Officer Gary Byrne. He's got a brand new book out. It's made a lot of news. It's called a Crisis of Character. White House Secret Service officer discloses his firsthand experience with Hillary Bill and how they operate. Let me go back to the women part of it. You knew things were going on. Then there was the map room incident with Eleanor Mondel. You know for a fact that there were other women as well that we don't know whose names they are, and you're not disclosing them. And you even at one point hit evidence for Bill Clinton. Sure did you know you were breaking the law doing that? Well? It technically wasn't Evans because I didn't know there was a there wasn't an investigation going on, all right, know that, but yes there was. There was an incident, a couple of incidents is where the Navy stewart brought to my attention that he had found some hand towels, white hand towels that were, in one case staying with lipstick, in another case staying with men's fluids. What appeared to be, oh, good, g um, this is the president, this is the oval office. Reagan wouldn't take his jacket off in that office, for crying out right, he wouldn't walk across the seal. So when I mentioned earlier that I've gone through some kind of threshold, there's a good example of what pushed me through it a little bit. It's just bizarre. So um, the steward was described, so you knew who's you knew who was listen to any adult mayle those what we were looking at, right, And my fear was that, you know, the only people that handled that stuff where the navy Stewart's downstairs that lost they're all laughing in there. Well that's that, you know what it stopped. This crew has got us. That's my crew there, very bad people. They want the salicous details. Yeah, they they they they washed the towels. They would know. These guys are navy men, they know what they would be looking at. And at this point I was trying to protect for many more rumors. So I told Nelvis I found the plastic bag out of the trash can liner. I told nels to throw them in the bag and I destroyed them right And then, of course, some time later when the story broke, uh broke by Matt Drudge, and then I heard about it on the Howard Stern Show, and I knew right then. I mean, the my stomach almost flipped out of my body. I was so terrified because I connected thoughts instantly. You know, that story is true. It's out. They're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna come after us. You know, it's just gotta be surreal. You know, here, you wanted to do this job your whole life, and the next thing you know, you're throwing out soiled towels of the president with his mistress. Yeah and uh and mistresses yeah and and and in the case of the intern. By this time or at some point, she becomes a government employee. So now she's a government paid mistress. It was bizarre when you think about it. In hindsight, it's just you know, well, I mean it's certainly reckless on for a whole variety of reasons. Here, Um, let me ask you this question. You said during the shutdown, when the when Monica was visiting and she gained access that she wanted so badly, were you there at that point? You were outside the door? I was, Um, so when all this went on and she was there a lot more than we knew. Yeah, sure, the which are describing is uh. And the shutdown was actually kind of a windfall for Monica because the way it works is the only essential people would come in now, so the only essential people that were allowed to come in and help President Clinton was one assistant, which would have been Betty Curry and then leon Panetta, and he could have a couple interns, and she ended up being one of the interns. And in hindsight, it was like, it's almost comical. I mean, you can't write this, and so that's when she gets so during this time, these these interns, they were across from the Oval office in the Roosevelt Room, and that's where they were kind of working at it, and when they needed something done, you know, they would go and find them there and then ask them to do it. And and if Hillary came by during any of this, you were you were supposed to refuse Hillary entry. No, you can't refuse the first lady entry. But we certainly were paying attention to her movements when you're a protectee of the Secret Services, and they would talk to you saying, watch out, she's on the warpath, and you would know before she came down, right, they would use her call sign. They'd say, you know, Evergreen moving, Uh, Evergreen moving. We already know she's in the mansion, so she's leaving the private living quarters. And then you would you know, once she hit the ground floor, if they said Hillary west Wing, you know she was headed that way. Wasn't the President at all embarrassed when he got caught with any of these women, or eleanor Mondale or for example, you didn't you see them making out on the Oval office desk. No, I saw ellenor Mondale and the President making out in the map room, and uh, I mean it was like it was, Yes, they were like two high school seniors, um lip locked you know, hugging each other. And what happened was is the one of the one of the housemen, excuse me, navy stewarts went to go into the room to deliver a clean shirt to the president. He had a shirt in his hand, and as he started towards the door, you know, he said hi to us. I just happened to be standing there on my way back to my post. And he opened the door, but he was looking at us, and there they were. But everybody knew. How did he not think this was gonna come out? Everybody knew. You don't think he cared. I don't think he cared that people knew because he was used to being covered, he was used to being protected, He was used to getting away with so it was expected that your job is you're gonna be quiet about this. I think, in hindsight, I think that everything that I heard from Markansas, from the troopers and sheriff's down there, was true. And the one officer actually told you that everything you hear about them is true and worse. Yes, And when he did, I'm telling you, it was like he was talking looking right through me. He it was a significant I mean, I only knew this guy for a couple of minutes. And when he told me that, I felt like it was somebody telling me something. You know, Gary, here's some good investment advice for your life. You know what I mean. He was serious and he meant it, and um, so yeah, it was very bizarre time, Sean. Uh, you talk in the book, for example, you we have become work friends. He knew that by serving the president, even a single cup of tea to ease his mind, he served as nation whatever the president needed, whenever he needed it. And you're talking about the White House, Uh, what's the position, So the Stewart Stewart. Yeah, I'm probably describing Nelvus there, but there were recorded now Stewarts. Yeah, there were quite a few Stuarts. They have a great history there. Traditionally they were actually all the Filipino men, and it was they have a great story behind that. So yeah, I mean you're describing a surreal tell Us about the end of your relationship with him. He's getting ready to you know, when you were leaving so leaving Nelvis, No, no, no leaving you know, for example, you spent you left job right so with the president. So, um, sometime before the story broke. Um, I had basically had enough of what was going on, and I didn't know what was coming, but I just I was tired of seeing some of the stuff that was going on, and it was time for me to move on. So I was trying to get into a position in the un Secret Service Uniform Division Tour section, and they do all the tours for the public and for the First Family and events. If you've ever been to the White House for an event, the Uniform Division people screen you in and out and and um. So anyway, I wanted to go to tours because I had enough of what was going on at the Oval Office and then UM and then eventually I left tours and went out to the training center, UM to to get away from it. And then of course when the when the story broke, all those relationships with those people are under a huge strain because everybody was terrified about testifying and and and so you didn't want to do it. No, I did not. I wanted nothing to do with it because I knew that I was gonna have to talk about stuff that. I mean, it sounds silly saying it now because I'm I'm coming out with all this, but it was really nobody's business. And I mean that as far as it could all been stopped by the President coming for and and manning up and doing the right thing and saying, yes, this did happen. Um, here's the steps we're gonna take so it never happens again, and I'm sorry, and get on with running the government instead of that and huge debacle with Congress. It was incredible. Yeah, you were even threatened at one point that somebody would arrest you in front of your pregnant wife. Yes, the secret excuse me, the FBI agent that was um involved in one particular day when I was being deposed at the Judge Star's office, temporary office, and they were trying to get me riled up, and they did, and um, you know, it was a little embarrassing that I let them get me riled up, But you know you can only when you threatened them, you know, talk about somebody's spouse with your first kid. It's uh, that's a little Yeah. It was over the top, and he got what he wanted a reaction, and I gave him one. When we hear the stories and we go over for example, the secret server, the secret server email thing of of Hillary when we hear that, and you discussed a little bit in the book about Benghazi and some of the other current events. But that fits the character absolutely, It falls right into place. It's the same. It's the same mentality or or or actions that I that I saw the whole time I was there. I Hillary Clinton, I'm not Actually, I don't have to follow procedure. You do what I want when I do it, do as I say, not as I do. You say, all of this was such a distraction to such a big level that governing was last on their list. Yeah, that's exactly the way appeared. And this is somebody who watched close by the You know when when all your staff, when George Stefanopolis and Rahm Emanuel and these guys are doing nothing but putting out scandals and trying to fix stuff and twist it. Christ, they must have been exhausted when you think of all the scame. You even talked about leon Panetta and Dick Morris huddling. I'm sorry leon Panetta was was the target of Hillary and Dick Morris discussing how to get rid of him as the chief of staff. Well, I'm not I'm not sure if um if they were actually trying to get rid of what they were doing, is they were they were meeting with Dick Morris at night. Now, we would see Dick Morris men usually around ten o'clock at night. We'd get a phone call from the Southwest Gate, you know, and the guy said, hey, Gary Morris is here, and he'd come up and he always looked like he was lost in the West Way. He'd come through the west side, and then if the President wasn't in the Oval office, we would, um, you know, we would give him directions to walk to the next officer, get him over the mansion. And then now, of course I used we used to see closer to Hillary or to Bill Well. He was closer to Hillary. She apparently was his friend, and um, he was, you know, back then, a Republican operative or and he was teaching them what he kind of claims the inventor was, you know, triangulation, excuse me, triangulation. And so now, of course we don't know what's going on. But when I read Leon Panetta's book and he talked about this, it fell right into place. Right. We used to see Dick Morris coming in all the time. I mean, we never said anything anybody, that's not our job. But um, it had to be a cool job though for you. I was thinking about this as I was reading about your life and background. I mean, every day you're seeing big names coming in and tryed to It's incredible. It was it was. I never wanted to leave, and of course that changed when this bizarre stuff happened. Um, I would you know, in hindsight, UM, if that hadn't happened, they would have had to take me out of there in a wheelchair with the crowbar. What did you think about Clinton when you knew he was lying to the nation. I was embarrassed, I was disgraced, and I was afraid because I was afraid. I mean, as far as the the relationship with the intern went, I was afraid. I knew it would come back to us, you know what, you know, to come out. There was just too many people that knew. You know. One of the one of the things that saved us, and I talked about this in the book, was that Linda Tripp did the right thing. Linda Trip did the right thing the way Linda Trip and and Monica wouldn't have met but for you pushing and forcing the issue of getting Monica out of it. It didn't last too long, but long enough her to meet Linda. Yeah. I believe that's correct when she went over there. So um but um yeah, so um Linda trip. Excuse me, yeah, Lenda Trip. By encouraging Monica to keep the dress and then getting hold of it, that was evidence. And if that wasn't there, it would have just been our word against his and the ideal that you can go in there. I mean, maybe the president and Mrs Clinton and high up government people can get away with answering under oath of I don't remember, I don't recall, but somebody in the Secret Service is not going to get away with that. One of the things I've been though the Oval Office maybe four times. I don't you would have been gone by that. Um, but I remember the first time I walked in there. It was like a surreal experience. You don't really feel like it seems like everything is in slow motion. It never goes away that feeling because I almost felt like, wait a minute, this isn't really the president. Yeah, this must be a double Yeah no that did anyone ever tell you that before? Yes? Yes, And I've experienced it myself where it's almost like one one evening, I actually had the opportunity um to introduce my parents and some family friends to President Clinton and and we were taking a tour and he was coming back and from the East Side. He was doing some public service announcements and the agent said, hey, we're bringing him over. Just have your family standing here, you know, And he came up and talked to them, and they were just floored and it was great, and it was a great experience. And it's one of those things when I talk about having a hard time coming out and whatever pushed me forward to do this, that was one of those experiences where I felt, you know, I certainly feel like the word portray comes in there, but clearly I think it's more important for the American people to know the truth about these And you're ready for what's coming your way out in this interview, I am. And and you don't care. You already thought that through. I care. But but you know, when you do the kind of work that I've done, and people that do what I do, you know, you look at your goal and you look what's important, and then you you do you take the exogen. You think the country needs to know this before they go and vote in November. I do, I absolutely do. So the person that we know when Hillary Clinton is a phony, it is a it is a mirage. It's not real, No, it is, it's a it's a carefully manufactured political basically, it's not even cashually carefully manufactured if you really pay attention and you're not completely um um, a Democrat or a Clinton uh follower. You see these things I'm talking about. You know it's true. You see the ages, You've You've heard these stories. And if somebody that does what I did and is taking the risk, you know, I'm not taking this risk for any other reason but the truth. You know, by the time this is all over with, who knows what's going to be left to me so to speak. So um, but I think it's important people need to know this. And um um, you know, if what I've done is really not right, well then I'll deal with that someday when I'm judging, you know, uh in heavan so well, the book is phenomenal. I couldn't put it down, Honestly. I opened it up this weekend and I'm like half of sleep, but I'm still reading it. You know, we're fighting sleep and reading a book like we wrote some of it like that. Crisis of Character is the name of the book. A White House Secret Service officer discloses his firsthand experience with Hillary Bill and how they operate. He'll join us on Hannity tonight at ten.

You are one of the guys that makes the country great, and you served your country with real honor and distinction.

Look forward to seeing you tonight. Thank you for having me
