All right, glad you with us? Straight down our toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. Wow, this is just breaking Hunter Biden, it's on foxnews dot Com. Agrees to pay monthly child support, ending the stand standoff over contempt. He has agreed to pay monthly child support retroactive to November. Play has plenty of money. Wouldn't be a problem, right, ending a standoff that began after the judge in his Arkansas oppaternity case had ordered him to appear in person for a hearing to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt anyway. The court judge noted that zero experience Hunter paid millions by a gas company for no reason at all except they wanted his name, noted that the exact amount of child support couldn't be determined based off the defendant's income, and that the modifications to the total amount owed every month could be made. And Biden was recently driving a sports car promoting, prompting concerns he was shrinking his child support have it you know, obligations anyway? Glad you're with us? Oh my gosh, John Bolton write a book. He's writing a book. Did you see this he wrote a book. Well, we just got news that. In fact, Mick mulveney, through speaking through his lawyer, pushed back on any report that he was involved in any discussion about holding back hundreds of millions of dollars an aid to Ukraine, by the way, like Joe Biden did in exchange for investigations John Bolton never informed Mick mulveney of any concern surrounding Bolton's purported August conversation with the President, as lawyer said in a statement, Nor did mister mulvahey ever have a conversation with the President or anyone else indicating that Ukrainian military aid was withheld in exchange for Ukrainian investigation of Barisma, the Biden's or the twenty sixteen elect The statement remarked that the latest story told from The New York Times, coordinated with a book launch, has more to do with publicity than with any truth. And furthermore, mulvaney is no recollection of any conversation with Rudy Giuliani resembling that reportedly described in Bolton's manuscript, As it was mulvaney's practice to excuse himself from conversations between the president his personal counsel to preserve any attorney client privilege according to his statements. Oh, it sounds like, huh, I have to move this to I guess the fiction section or whatever, if it even is true. I noticed the timing of all these things. The timing is amazing. Isn't it a pretty quick written book? Yes, it only took a few months. If it's coming out in Oh, when is it coming out? That would be coming out? Oh in March? How convenient. Now, what's amazing is if you you know. Look, the only thing I would say is every time they think they have Donald's right, we got bull and gotta get bolting. There is a part of me with fidelity to our constitution, the specific ly spelled out roles of the House and the Senate, which I find repugnant, that don't seem to filter through the brains. And it's so simple. It's not a complicated constitutional concept. Number one, executive privileges separate and apart. But number two, the sole role of impeachment is the House. Okay, they've impeached. They raced through their impeachment. They thought they were going to get it from Mueller. They didn't get it. From Muller, So why bothering an investigation this time, I'll have no investigation. Okay, We'll move forward as fast as we humanly can move fast and get this out there so we can go on vacation and then hold it back. And the sole power to try the case. That power constitutionally lie with the United States Senate. It's not the Senate's role because they have a slam done case. There's a rock solid, lock solid case. We got it all down here. Okay, they've now been presenting it and it's not what they say it is in any way, shape, manner, or form. So they know it's weak. So now they're trying to desperately get weak Republicans to agree to bring in not just witnesses. They can bring in all the witnesses that the House used. They can bring in the only fact witness, the only non opinion or non hearsay witness that would be Ambassador Sonlon and he's gonna say no, there's no quit or pro or quo. Now you've got Mulvedy totally saying no, didn't happen as it relates to whatever Bolton is claiming here. President has now come out and said I never told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to the investigation into the Democrats, including the bidens. He said, in fact, he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book. And the President said, with that being said, the transcripts of my calls with President Zelinski are all the proof that's needed. In addition to the fact that President Zelinski and the Foreign Minister of Ukraine said there was never any pressure, no problems whatsoever, and the President adding that he believes he did more to protect Ukraine than Obama. And he met with Zelinski. Remember that was supposed to be based on conditions until he came out with the invitations and then meeting with Zelinski at the United Nations Democrats had said. The President didn't meet him there, and he did release all the military aid to Ukraine. And guess what, there was never any condition, There was never any announcement, there was never any talk of any investigation. So in other words, well, what are we now going to say, Well, the president he maybe let's say Bolton has a memory where the President was frustrated and annoyed. They need to look into this. I've been arguing myself, if I guess I'm a loan voice here, that president should faithfully execute the laws of the land. And I would argue what Joe Biden is on tape saying, you're not getting the billion unless you fire a Ukrainian prosecutor. Stop and think about why why would any vice president want a Ukrainian prosecutor fired when we now find out Joe knew quid pro quo, Joe knew that that prosecutor was investigating his zero experience, no experience in Ukraine, oil, energy, of gas, whatsoever. Millions of millions of dollars. I mean, it makes no sense. So if they did investigate it, to me, that would be faithfully executing the laws of the land. Now let's say the president thought for a minute, you know what, I'm gonna kill that person. I'm gonna kill that idiot. Oh you speak and you say I'm gonna kill that person. Do you kill them? No, you're not guilty of murder. What are we now gonna our thoughts crimes? Now? According to this new politically correct world we live in, and if they want to look I am so against this idea that the Senate take on the constitutional role of the House. But I guess there's gonna be some weak Senate Republicans. Maybe some of you would want to call them, you know who they are, and maybe say it's not your role constitutionally to do their job. Now they're acting like this is a big bomb show Bolton's book. Okay, the problem is it's a New York Times story. How often did this New York Times get things wrong? Well, Maggie Haberman, June twenty nine, twenty seventeen, they had to issue a correction to a report that said seventeen intel agencies agreed on Russian actions during the election. Times published that story June twenty fifth. And by the way, the Time story originally included the following line the latest presidential tweets for proof to dimade members of the Trump Party that he still refuses to acknowledge a basic factor agreed upon by seventeen American intelligence agencies, that he now oversees that Russia orchestrated the attacks and it did it to help him get elected. Well, the figure was not accurate. Whoop see daisy. And even finally, the New York Times mentioned the dirty Clinton dossier unverifiable was likely Russian disinformation from the Get Go and Go through the March second, twenty eighteen New York Times major correction to an accounting error and a piece about Trump's tax plan. Whoop see daisy, Oh, that's not good. They have a lot of these corrections at the New York Times. The January sixth hacking assessment was a conclusion drawn by analysts representing etc. Etc. And we have the We have plenty of more examples of The New York Times getting it wrong. I just don't have the time to get into it all. So doubts are growing over the accuracy of this entire report. You know it's the New York Times. Number one, never trust fake news organizations. Two, The Times bases their so called bombshells story on the very same kind of oh secondhand, anonymous sourcing that they used for all their other articles that they've gotten wrong with the fake news. Third, we don't have Bolton on record here anywhere saying any of this to anybody in the White House. Quite to the contrary. What we've been hearing all day is everybody's saying I never heard it. And in a sub headline on this story, the Time itself describes the source materials, which again they haven't seen for themselves, as drafts of the book. A draft of a book is at best a preliminary transcript, which is the subject to probably editing and changing, especially after the book is vetted for accuracy and legal liability. And Bolton's lawyer was asked today to confirm the accuracy of the Times report and he you refuse to do so anyway, Bolton attorney, Charles Cooper, stopped short of confirming the contents of the report. Whoopsie Day is the fifth The Justice Department has now contradicted a key claim in the so called Bolton Book, and the books states Bolton called Barr after Trump's July twenty fifth phone call with Solinski in order to raise concerns about Julianni and informed the Attorney General the president and mentioned him on the call on Sunday night. Senior Department of Justice official disputed what Bolton is saying here. All right, so that's not one, that's two. You know. Now we get into the issue. Okay, well, what did the president do wrong here? Well we have the Jordan four think about this. It doesn't matter what the president thought. Well, you know, okay, I'm going to kill you. Okay, did you kill the person? No, he's sitting right there. Okay, I thought about it, but I didn't do it. Well, what do we know? The four facts never change. The President released not one, but two transcripts voluntarily. There was no mention of AID on any of those in any of those conversations. There was no quid or pro or quo like Joe. The two individuals on the call, President Trump and President Zelenski, and the Foreign Minister of Ukraine all repeatedly saying there was no pushing, there was no pressure. There was no linkage between the security assistance dollars and any type of investigation by anybody in Ukraine. And of course the Ukrainians didn't even know at the time of the call that AID was being held up, and by the way, it was given to them in full early they took. And the most important part of it is what happened. They got the aid. What did they do for the aid? Nothing? What did they promised to do for the aid? Nothing? They never started an investigation and they got the aid. They never promised to start an investigation. They got the aid. Those facts will never change now after the phone. I'll add this, there were five high profile meetings between the United States and President Zolensky in Ukraine, including with the Vice President at not one of those conversations was AID ever brought up. The transcript shows clearly the President didn't condition anything any security assistance on any meeting or them doing anything. One the President Zelenski and other Ukrainian officials, they said there was no quid pro quo, no pressure on them at all. Ever, and Zolensky number three, the high ranking Ukrainian officials didn't even know about the AID not being there. And fourth, with all this noise in the mob and the median lying in the Schumer shift sham show, not a single witness ever testified that the President himself said there was any connection between any investigation or security assistance. And even if he did, they still did nothing. They still promised nothing, and the security assistance flowed and it flowed to Ukraine and they got the money and they got it early. If there were any quid pro quo, it failed. It didn't happen, And nobody's saying it happened. No person that is a part of what it is half says it happens. So this idea that this is a big development is another lie by your medium mob. This is who they are, This is what they do. This is why we have an information crisis and so called journalism, Maggie Haberman, by you and by your you know, New York Times state democratic socialist, radical newspaper is dead because nobody trusts you, and nobody should trust you. You got everything wrong with Trump Russia. Now you're getting everything wrong here, and you missed the biggest story of your career, which is the abuse of power, Faiza abuse and the dirty dossier that Hillary Clinton paid for. All right, as we roll along eight hundred and nine, Sean, you want to be a part of this extravaganza. You know, it's just one big It is this incestuous medium mob. There's nexus between them and the democratic radical extreme socialists. It really takes your breath away, you know. And now I'm watching our senators and I'm like, oh, here we go again. You know, I don't understand why some would take on the role of doing the constitutional duty of the House. I don't really understand that. Now I know that we've had met Romney saying, well, I think now maybe this opens it up for wit Why why would this open it up for witnesses? The President's team destroyed them all day to day and all day on Saturday, you know. Oh, and to get insulted by the likes of the congenital liar who's compromised. Oh yeah, Trump would have your heads on pikes. Really if you voted against them. Well, I kind of ticked off Lisa Murkowski, and I know a lot of these swing moderates and they're now getting incense, and rightly so by all of this and the fascist that said this, and I think Jonathan Turley rightly pointed out, you know, you don't want to you don't want to make a jury or insult the jury. And that's exactly what Nadler did when he accused all those senators the jury of being involved in a cover up. Wow. And by the way, the irony, most of the House impeachment managers voted against any aid for Ukraine. The President gave it to him, and they did nothing. Wouldn't say they'd do anything either, and they didn't do anything. All right, twenty five to the top of the hour, eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, you want to be a part of the program. I guess it's just I can't. It's very frustrating to see. I don't know what it is. Something happens to candidates when they run for president and they lose. I've I've witnessed this my entire career. I guess you could look at al Gore. Al Gore, you know, we had swinging, hanging, nimble, pimple dented chads and George W. Bush wins the election and he lost his mind, meaning al Gore couldn't couldn't handle it. Hillary same thing. I mean, Hillary has come up with more excuses for losing in twenty sixteen. Now she's even launching a I Love Hillary. I don't know a movie or series or whatever. Inar Rapids. I've seen it before. I thought John McCain took it really personally, and I think the reason is I'm not a psychiatrist or playing one on TV either. I think the real reason is is that it's it's hard to lose. It's hard, and I've watched candidates over the years and they're right there. And I thought Mitt Romney really had a shot. I think by the third debate it was over. I was I remember making phone calls, what are you guys doing? This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen they took. They just decided to go in and phone it in the last debate, and they didn't want to stay aggressive. And you need to be aggressive or else you're not gonna win. And for whatever reason, all the things that Donald Trump is doing, or all the things that meant Romney had he won pretty much said he was gonna do. I understand that he doesn't like the style of Donald Trump. That's fair, and I know he said all the things that he has said, but it's not something in dispute that Donald Trump, who spoke as the first president of a pro life rally, Donald Trump, who's ended more burdensome bureaucracy than any president in the last hundred years. And yes, and total dollars, the biggest tax cut in history. And then we got the promises, new trade deals with China, new trade deal with Japan and Mexico, Canada, Western European allies were now energy independent for the first time in seventy five years. Eight million new jobs created, eight million fewer Americans in poverty, well actually more, but a million fewer on food stamps. I mean every demographic in our country at the engine of this economy is just humming along. China deal is particularly impressive. Helps out you know, two hundred and twenty billion in two years, two and twenty billion bucks. That's going to go to American farmers, American service industries, it's going to go to American manufacturers, the energy sector, and our car manufacturers. Huge. That means great, long term paying jobs for our fellow Americans. How great is that? But it's just in spite of all of that, Mit can't seem to get over. And I always liked him personally. I thought he had a lovely family. I get his style as not Donald Trump's. He tried to be nice, and they still called him a sexist and a misogynist. They still went after all, he cut up some kid's hair when he was in boarding school, you know, forty five years ago. They were they were just out to destroy him somehow. I guess people just forget. You know, we had but for John McCain, you know, we we we had healthcare done, could have gotten done. He was pretty angry. Donald Trump didn't like Donald Trump. And unfortunately that now that now matters because if you have three Republicans saying, oh yeah, not just the witnesses that testified in the you know, after the audition, witnesses behind closed doors. We still have information I'd like to get out of them. But then now they're talking about new witnesses. I guess if we're gonna have witnesses, if you're gonna force this on us, I guess then the Republicans better have their list ready because that means Joe Biden, Quid pro Quo, Joe Zero, exp Arians Hunter needs to be called. Why because the President okay, did mention their names. Now they got the money. They never promised to do anything. President didn't ask them to do anything. But they have to be brought in now because we need to understand if the President was faithfully executing. Because I think it's a slam dunk case that both Quid and pro and Quoe and Joe and Hunter were involved in a pretty corrupt enterprise here. Wouldn't surprise me at all if a lot of laws were broken, and we've had a lot of lawyers on this program and on Hannity, I'd say, yep, they did. You know, now we're hearing that the brother of a key shift impeachment witness. I've not confirmed this myself, but it was on Breitbart and other places today. I got it right here somewhere that, in fact, I guess a source close to the Trump administration is telling Brightbart Again, I have not corroborated this. That Army Lieutenant Colonel Vimman, ethics lawyer for the NSC, may maybe may have some influence over the reviewing of publications. That'll be interesting to find out if that's true. There's other doubts that are emerging in terms of the accuracy of The New York Times, their big bombshell, you know, but this is what we've gotten for three years. Oh my gosh, we got him breathless reporting this hysteria. Watching this unfold, I'm nonplussed by any of it doesn't mean a thing already. It's getting contradicted left and right by the other people that would have known. And there's no official record of him as having done any of this. I'm not sure John Bolton is doing except writing a book here anyway. The New York Times charter member of the same fake news industry media that spread lies for three long years, breathlessly reporting one lie after another, and in some cases like the Times in the Post actually getting Pulitzer prizes for it. Okay, So if Susan Collins and Mitt Romney, if they want witnesses, okay, they're gonna bring in Joe and Hunter. Are they gonna bring in Adam Schiff because he's compromised, he's light in this case, and the contact that took place with his office, people that work in his office, I'd say, we need to talk to the hearsay whistleblower. There was a report out last week that the non whistleblower heresay whistleblower had in fact been talking just two weeks into the Trump presidency as an Obama holdover about getting rid of Trump. That might be pertinent. White House literally questions, you know, look at the timing of this whole thing here. Do you think this by accident? The defense team slaughtered them over the weekend. It was a devastating takedown of every argument that they had. Nobody in the media I see is really looking at a guy like Joe Manson. This is getting pretty interesting because he's now indicating that he's open to the arguments from the president's defense team in this trial, and after an abrieviated session on Saturday, in which the president's defense lawyers presented a preview of their case, which then had going through at this moment they're resuming now today. One thing that stuck in my mind as they said, there isn't a witness that they have had so far that had direct contact with the president. The only one that talked to him was that would be Ambassador Sonlin. And again, the facts never change. Ever in this case, it would be such you know, and I know that Peter Schweitzer was on with the Great One last night, and you know, it would be an outrage if the Trump family if they did. If you had Donald Trump, vice president, saying you're not getting the billion unless you fire the prosecutor who was investigating my son zero experienced don who's being paid millions for zero experience. It's called buying access. I don't think that's that hard to figure out. Or the fact that the president was interested in Ukraine. This is all separate and apart left, the left, the media. What have you think that conservatives are saying. They're saying Ukraine interfered and it wasn't Russia in the elections. No, I'm saying both did. And I've been saying had we listened to Devin Newness in twenty fourteen that the Russians were going to interfere, well, we could have prevented a lot of it. And of course the biggest interference. Even the New York Times, two and a half years behind us on this show, discovered it was likely the dirty Clinton dossier, Russian disinformation from the get go, and the Ukrainian court determined yep, Ukraine interfered in America's twenty sixteen election. To hell Hillory. Look at the political article one eleven, twenty seventeen, January eleventh, just before Donald Trump is sworn in the inauguration headline, Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire. He have officials are scrambling to make amends with the president elect. That would be Trump up after quietly working to boost Clinton. This is a foreign country admitting election interference in their own court. They determined it President Petro Porashenko's administration with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington. We now the piece goes on, Donald Trump wasn't the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet block country. Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermined Donald Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption, suggesting they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election, and they helped Clinton's allies research damaging information on Trump and as advisors. A Politico investigation found wow foreign election interference. A Ukrainian American operative who was a consultant for the DNC met with officials at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump top campaign aide Paul Manaford, and Russia. According to people with direct knowledge of the situation, the Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort's resignation, advancing the narrative that the Trump campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine's foe to the east, Russia, but they were far less concerted, essentially directed than Russia's hack blah blah blah. Oh, so the President had a right to say to Zelinski on that call, I'm worried the people that you're hanging out with. They bothered me a little bit. Seem to be hanging out with the same people as your predecessor. You know, you probably notice a pattern with the mob at the media. It always said, oh my gosh, you got him, We gotta gotta Then the facts come out they don't got him. It is an amazing thing to withhold every day. Now we're hearing a warning to the president's legal defense. Democrats are actually concealing exculpatory information testimony of a major witness that the House question during their audition hearings, and that is into the Ukrainian matter. At least one Republican president during Michael Atkinson's testimony is saying the reason the Democrats and not sharing that information with we the people is because it does not advance Adam Shift, the Congenital Compromise liars impeachment case against the President John Ratcliffe. The reason it hasn't been released it's not helpful to Adam Shift, and it's not helpful to the whistleblower hearsay whistle blower non whistleblower. Wow, amazing things there. You know, what do we know? Let's get to what we know. Well, Donald Trump might have said something that he thought about I'm not giving the money until they do this, this and this. Okay, he thought about let's say, let's say he did for this, say he expressed that thought. Okay, did he do anything? The facts that never change, or this we have the transcript. Aid was never mentioned, not once now, no quit or pro or quote in the transcript. Ever, the two individuals President, President Zelenski and the Foreign Minister of Ukraine over and over and over. We never felt any pressure. There was never any linkage between the security as system dollars and the type of investigation in Ukraine. Maybe we're able to bring Zelenski over to testify in this the Schumer shift sham show. You know, the Ukrainians didn't even know at the time of the call AID had been held up, but was eventually paid and paid in full and paid early. And guess what the most important thing, what did they do to get the AID money? Nothing? Nothing, So if the president did talk about it, as John Bolton's book may or may not say, who knows, they took no action, none whatsoever. They never started an investigation, nor did they announce they were going to start an investigation, and nor did they ever promise to start an investigation. And they took no action and they got their money. And there were five subsequent high level meetings and in all five of them, all five, AID was not brought up a single time. So why are we here? We here because this is pure politics, That's it. I wonder if John Bolton remembers the same New York Times in March of twenty eighteen, writing about Yes, John Bolton is really that dangerous anyway? John Bolton, the new National Security Advisor or Trump. The problem with him or the good thing is is he says what he thinks. The bad thing is what he thinks. There are a few people more likely than mister Bolton to lead the country into war. His election is a decision that is as alarming as any Trump has made. His selection, along with the nomination of hardline CIA director Mike Pompey was Secretary of State, shows the degree to which mister Trump is indulging his worst nationalistic instincts. Bolton in particular, believes the US can do what it wants without regard to international law, treaties, political commitments, and previous administrations. He wanted to attack North Korea to neutralize the threat, and it goes on from there. I don't know. Maybe some people think that one day, you know, the New York Times will like John Bolton. I don't think so. I don't think so at all. But you know, where are we here? We're the same place we were now. The Republicans are weak, and they want and they insist on bringing in new witnesses and taking on what is the soul power in the Constitution of the House. And I guess that means Okay, incomes, quid pro quo, Joe incomes, zero experience, Hunter paid millions incomes, the congenital compromise, Liar Adam shift incomes, the non whistle blower, hearsay whistle blower. Bring them all in. You guys are going to open that door, Fine, open it wide open, because I'm certain none of this is going to matter to the president because he never he never got a thing, He never did a thing. They never promised a thing. Oh well, he said he wanted them to. Maybe he did. Are We're gonna now punish people for thoughts. I'm gonna kill this guy. Did you kill him? No? Then candidate Trump urged the Russians to hack Hillary Clinton's emails. Russians, the Russians contacts with the Russians the Russians will do this again. Russians, the Russians, Russians, Russians, Russians, Russian interference in our election, Russia, Russians, the Russia issued, Vladimir Putins, Russia, Russians, Russians, Russians, Russia. For understandable reasons, I attend to view a lot of what's happening times through a Russia prison, Russia, Russia's Russians, Russian, the Putins, Russia, Russians, Russian, Russians, Russia, Russian government effort to help mister Trump, Russian, the Russians, Russian, Russians, Russians, Russian, Russia, Russians, Russians, Russian, Russians, Vladimir Putin, Russian, Russian, Russian, systematic interference of the Russians. Colonel Vinman said, here, right matters. Here, right matters. I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight. If right doesn't matter, we're lost. If the truth doesn't matter, we're lost. We have not spoken directly with the whistle blower. We would like to. Right is supposed to matter. It's what's made us the greatest nation on earth. The Russians offered help. The campaign accepted help, the Russians gave help, and the President made full use of that help because right matters and the truth matters. Otherwise we are lost. I certainly share the view that there are parts of the dossier that have been corroborated and that seemed credible. Right doesn't matter anymore? All right, our two Sean Hannity's show, Yeah, we ran that on Friday night on Hannity. You know, we have Jim Jordan's there are four things, four facts never changed, never will change. Then we have Jim Jordan's seven important things that Chiff had exactly wrong, which is why we know in this case he's compromised. All we'd love to talk to the whistleblower. Yeah, you did talk to the whistleblower. Your staff more than secret circumstantial evidence of Trump Russia collusion lie. Adam Schiff said the new Neez memo was false. Nope, The Inspector General, Michael Harowitz said no, it was. He added, exactly right, the one that lied to the country, that would be the congenital liar shift himself. You can trust the Fiser court, Adam Schiff told us. Michael Harrowitz said, no, you can't They lied to the Fiser Court seventeen times fifty four if you add the subsections. Adam Schiff said, we're looking forward to hearing from the whistleblower. We haven't spoken with the whistle blower. Yes, sorry, I deft must have just forgotten my office. You know, had lots of conversations with him. Acted like mister ze referred to Zelinsky, when it in fact referred to Zlochevsky. The four facts never changed. All right, let's look at it through the prism of the big Bolton bomb. Show that he might testify. Well, that's if the president has the right to executive privilege. Okay, you want him, fine, let's get quid pro quote, Joe. Let's get Hunter, Let's get the congenital liar shift, Let's get the hearsay, non whistleblower, whistleblower. This is what we know. Donald Trump willingly handed over the transcript. He handed over two transcripts. The idea that we have the transcript of the phone call. Zero quid pro quo, like Joe none. They never even mentioned aid on the call, not one time. And we know that the President and President Zelinski both have said and Foreign Minister of Ukraine has said there was no pushing, felt, no pressure, no linkage at all between security assistance dollars and any type of investigation. At the Ukrainians didn't even know at the time of the call that the aid had been held. More importantly, they took no action. They never started an investigation. They never did a thing, They never promised to start an investigation, they never announced it. And what did they get. They got all the money. They did nothing. They were asked to do nothing. The fact that the President may be thinking, oh, Man, you know I got the twenty seventeen January eleventh Politico and the Ukrainian court saying Ukraine interfered in our elections, and Joe saying you're not getting the billion unless you fire the prosecutor investigating my zero experience son that's being paid millions. I think that would be faithfully executing the laws to get to the bottom of that. Anyway, Congressman Mark Meadows, the great state of North Carolina is with us, sir, how are you. It's great to be with you, Sean. Obviously you may hear a little bit of noise in the background because we're actually just off the Senate for we're part of this impeachment defense team. So you're bringing you know, your listeners in the room where it happens. And when we see this, you know you talk about Adam Ship telling the truth, Well, he's going to need to get injected with truth serum to start telling the truth, because each and every day he brings out one more false statement, one more accusation, and yet the facts continue to mount up on the president side. President needs to not only have a vote in the Senate, but it needs to be a overwhelming majority of not only all the Republicans, but I would say a couple of Democrats to come across and finally vindicate the president because the factor of supporting what he has told us all along is that he didn't do anything for his own personal advantage. What do you make of the Bolton book proposal and the President tweeting this morning one. I never told John Bolton that the aide to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens. In fact, he never complained about any of this at the time of his very public termination. If John Bolton said this, it would be only to sell a book, he said. With that being said, transcripts of my calls with President Solinski or all the proof it is needed. In addition to the fact that President Zlinsky in the Foreign Minister said there was no pressure, no problems, and the president added he believed he did more to protect Ukraine than Barack Obama. That just happens to be a fact. He said, I met with President Solinski without any conditions at the UN, Democrats say I never met and release the aide to Ukraine without any conditions, without any investigation, without any promise of any investigation. So I guess, at the end of the day, what's the crime here? It might have been annoyed, what well, yeah, maybe may be annoyed, but listen, there is no crime here. The President's absolutely right. Not only did he not tell anybody to link the eight for a political favor, but I can tell you it was never communicated. You know, when you mentioned about the four facts that never changed that Jim Jordan's fox, you know each and every day. The other thing that doesn't change is the fact that President Zelinsky, the Foreign Minister of Ukraine and others truly are in a situation where ultimately we have a best witnesses saying that that's not the case, you know, and so those best witnesses are those that truly if there was leverage to be applied, it would have been to the President of Ukraine, and it just didn't happen. It never happened. Now the question is we're going to get into the sixteen hours of questions. Okay, that'll be let's say maybe some today, but certainly tomorrow and the next day. That brings us through Wednesday. Then I guess we're going to have a debate discussion over witnesses. Now, the sole power to impeach rest with the House of Representatives. Constitutionally, they said they have a slam dunk case for impeachment, all the evidence they need. Okay, now they present their case, and there are some Republicans saying, well, we need to speak to witnesses that they never even subpoened or called or took the time to call. Why would the Senate take on the role of the House. Well, it is the House's responsibility to use the investigation. We've had seventeen witnesses. Listen, this leaking that they did with the John Bolton manuscript. By the way, that no one in the media has read that the President has denied is right out of their playbook. We saw it when we heard from the seventeen witnesses. They would go out in leak over and over and over again, little bits of information that we're contradicted in the room, because I was in the room, and yet they wanted to spend a narrative that is uniquely the Democrats narrative that suggests that there's some nefarious purpose behind the President's actions, and I can tell you that that didn't happen. We will continue to push back on that as the defense team is actually on the Senate floor now making a very compelling case on why this should be dismissed. Ultimately, you're right, the senators are going to grapple with should they have more witnesses? That will backfire on my Democrat colleagues. If there's more witnesses, we will have the whistle blower, we will have atom Ship, we'll have Hunter Biden. And so if they're going to do a witness exchange program, this will lengthen it out. And where will we be at the end of the day. The President will still be vindicated, and truly the votes will come in that says he will be acquitted. Does this have then become a long protract to fight over the issue of executive privilege in your view, well, I think it could. I also think that what might happen is that they say, well, we want to hear from these witnesses, and they do it in a closed session with depositions to ask just a few clarifying questions. What I don't want to see is us talking about this impeachment four or five months from now. The Democrats need to be serious about lowering prescription drug prices, keeping our economy going, and fixing roads and bridges, and yet all we're talking about is impeachment here on Capitol Hill. It's not right, it's not what we should be doing. But I'm hopeful that our Republican senators will stay strong and your listeners letting them know that they want to get onto other priorities will help them stay strong. Do you know anything about the report that exculpatory evidence is being held back by House Democrats and apparently related to the testimony of Michael Atkinson, the Intelligence Agency inspector General with first hand knowledge of the origins of the whistleblower complaint. Because I know a mutual friend of ours John Ratcliffe has said the reason it hasn't been released is it's not helpful to Adam Schiff, it's not helpful to the whistleblower, and it raises credibility issues about both of them, and it doesn't advance their agenda. Here Washington Times noting that the evidence may be potentially exculpatory. Why are we having a hard time getting that information out the This was during the audition process of witnesses, right. I think what we see over and over and over again is that anything that's to the President's advantage has been held back, or at least there's been an attempt to hold it back by my Democrat colleagues. He saw over the three days of them presenting their argument that they failed to tell the rest of the story, and the Trump defense team of the errated it. There three days of testimonies in just two hours of rebuttal. You know, as we look at that particular testimony, the biggest thing that we're seeing is a back and forth between the coordination efforts coming out of the White House with the whistleblower and other people that perhaps were involved in that whistleblower com point. Adam Schiff doesn't want the American people to know that that was more orchestrated by his team than perhaps is being reported, And because when that comes out, they will see this for what it really is, is a partisan activity designed to try to affect the twenty twenty election results. I think all of that is true. What are the odds? I mean, I guess you're there and you're watching, and you're talking to some of these senators. We know what they're saying. We know Mitt Romney is now, I guess moving in the direction of, oh, we need more witnesses now, wouldn't shouldn't it be limited to the witnesses that the House called considering they impeach based on their case if there's any need for clarification when you bring in the witnesses from there, you know, why do you bring in Moulaity, Why do you bring in John Bolton? Well, because if you do that, you're right, then we get quit pro quo Joe and zero experience, hunter paid millions and chief and the non whistle blower heresay whistle blower. Right. Well, I think the big, big aspect of that is that they want additional witnesses because the Democrats case is so weak that's why the Democrats want it. It's they know that they've lost this argument with the American people, and they've lost it with our Republican senators, and so they say, well, gosh, there must be something more here. If we just call in enough witnesses, we can perhaps get another bit of a sound bite for MSNBC and it will all work out to our advantage. That's not the case, and I can tell you they will never be satisfied with any witness. They will never be satisfied with any witness that comes forth to support the president. They will always say, oh, for example, m mulvaney came in and said nothing happened. Well, of course he did. He worked for the president. And so they prop up witnesses that speak against the president. At the end of the day, this is nothing more than politics, and sadly it's politics in a way that most Americans, but jet a guy to take a break, will come back. We'll have more with Congressman Mark Meadows, Great State of North Carolina RT A final moment. Congressman Mark Meadows. He's part of the president's defense team and this impeachment Schumer Schiffsham trial that's going on Okay, so it's Monday. Where are we going to be by Friday or Saturday this week? By Friday of this week, we will have finished not only the defense, but the Q and A section. I believe we will not get an agreement on additional witnesses, and that we'll have a vote to actually acquit the President of the United States from this impeachment process and hopefully on to everything else that is good and right for our country by Saturday. So do you think that Democrats don't want to hear from Schiff or the whistleblower or Joe Biden or zero experience Hunter. They don't want to hear They don't want them to talk, of course not. They don't want to hear from any Bhundy that might start to undermine their case. And all of the people you just mentioned will undermine their case. Uh. They're they're more afraid of witnesses coming in that we might request than we are witnesses that they want. I mean, they've got more exposure to this. If this will backfire on them, I promise you it will backfire on them ultimately. I don't witnesses being called All right, Congressman Mark Meadows, thank you. Eight hundred and ninety four one sewn. You want to be a part of the program. All right, twenty five now until the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one sewn, you want to be a part of the program. Uh. Jordan's secular was part of the president's defense team as well as his father, Jay Psycholo American Center for Law Injustice has been able to step out of the Senate Chamber. We only have a couple of minutes to update us. I watched on Saturday, and I've been watching today, and the case is overwhelming. When do you see this ending? A and B? Where do you stand on the Bolton issue? Sure? I mean I think listen, my dad addressed that issue right off the top. Stay if people were watching, I think he said it very clearly. We're going to address the facts and the evidence. We're not going to deal with unsourced allegations, you know, and in the New York Times and another kind of you know, news articles. We're dealing with the two articles against the President United States at the House. I decided was enough to impeach the president. But let me then go to what Ken Stars had to say. Judge Starr, who's been through this before has said that there's a huge deficiency, a very big problem with these two articles of impeachment that when it comes to the president, or any impeachment, but especially the president United States is elected by the American people, not not to a lifetime of appointment like a judge, but too has to be re elected. Then should be able to finish out their term unless the impeachment rises to the serious level of offense. He said, you know, you am I saying it always has to be crimes to say no, but when it comes to president it should. It should why because and it should be bipartisan and those two fundamental flaws within what the House Democrats did alone should sink these two articles of impeachment, So so I think that was very clear. He then, you know, went into the idea of this idea of no due process when it comes to the President of the United States and removing him from office less than a year before an election. And this was this was someone who's been on the other side when when he had the power to investigate the president telling the House this is not how you do it. You've got to be if you're not, if you're not going to be bipartisan you should not move forward with the impeachment, and you certainly shouldn't have moved forward with articles like this which don't allege any kind of criminal conduct and don't have any evidence. So that I expect, you know, we're gonna have a full day today. I don't think it's going to be necessarily like how that House Democratic managers. Some of that's based off the Majority leader timing, but how they went like late into the night every night after night. But but I do expect, though I'm not I'm not sure yet, I expect that we will have some remarks tomorrow as well. I'm not saying necessarily it's going to be another full day, but we have to kind of see how things develop today. You know, this is our this our first day really of argument. We had two hours on Saturday, Sean, you know that was This is the first day where it's a Monday and the senators are back. They got a little bit of a rest after the shift show, um, you know, for for three four days and uh, and so we want to kind of kind of restart this process. Bring in you know, we've got Ken Starr and then others who will be presenting some new faces who will be presenting today. All right, Jordan's secular part of the president's defense team along with his father, Jay Seculo. I thought they had an amazing two hours on Saturday and so far good all day to day. Thanks for being one of us. Eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. You know, despite all these hours and all this repetition, and now let's go back to the Muller report and let's bring in the opinion witnesses and replay what they said four hundred times. You know, people like that believe Donald Trump should have been impeached for tweeting out the words fake and news. That's how dumb this is. This entire case is based on nothing. The whole thing is based on It's been based on nothing. There's not been one single witness here that has been able to provide any evidence whatsoever that the president did anything at all. Not one witness has testified that the president asked for investigations to be linked to AID which, by the way, and I have made this point, maybe one of the few voices that are we can hear Joe bragging about a shakedown, leveraging a bill you're not getting the billion unless you fire the prosecutor. What a vice president wants to fire a prosecutor in Ukraine? Huh? Oh, because he's told he's investigating his son with zero experience in Ukraine, oil, gas and energy millions of dollars. Oh, that to me would be faithfully executing the laws of the land. I've been saying it, but as nobody likes that argument because they're not using it so far. But you know, we have no fact witnesses here. You keep going back, you cannot. It's not a single witness ever, you know, talking about the president linking aid to meet you know, either meet with Zealinsky or get the aid release to Zelensky. No matter how many times you hear and you watch and you read whatever they're saying for any given day, it doesn't matter because the facts they just remain the same. And all it is is that if you look at the facts, if you care about truth, if you care about defense, well then things don't change. The President did nothing wrong. The truth is right before your eyes. We have the transcript two of them, because the president released them acting according to America's national interests. He was concerned about corruption, that came out in the call, never mentioned AID once during the call. It shows the president never conditioned either security assistance or the meeting, in spite of everybody's saying, well, he wouldn't meet with the guy unless he did these things. No, the President met with the guy. And we have the invitations that were written to the guy and Zolinsky, the foreign minister. They repeatedly said, we never felt any pressure. If we didn't even know the aid was held up or delayed at all, you know, you got Zolinsky and other high ranking Ukrainian officials did not even know. They knew nothing. Not a single witness testified the president himself said there was a connection, just the opposite. What do you want nothing? No quid or pro or quo. Not a single witness testifying that the President himself said there's a connection. And more importantly, they got the money. What did they do for the money? Nothing? What did they promised to do to get the money? Nothing? You know, how many more times do we have to go over the four facts? I add one more a fifth that never change, and that is we have the transcript. There was never talk of aid. There was no quid pro quo in the transcript, no demand for them to do anything. You know. Now, we do know, in fact that the Ukrainians interfered in the twenty sixteen elections, separate and apart from Russia, least according to a Ukrainian court and according to Politico. Politico chronicled in depth the amount of collusion, if you will, coordination between the Trump, the Hillary campaign and Ukraine to work to get Donald Trump not elected. Yeah, that wasn't Trump, that's Hillary. The same people all outraged over potential Trump Russia collusion that never materialized, seemed to be you know, totally absent, missing an action on this anyway. They we've repeated it over or over again that the call we read it, no quit or pro or quote. They never discuss AID at no time did they discuss aid. President Trump, President Zelinsky, the foreign minister all say no pushing, no pressure, no linkage between security dollars and any investigation into Ukraine. Ukraines, Ukrainians didn't even know that aid was delayed at all. Now more importantly, they actually got the money. Now, did they start an investigation? No ever? Did they promise to start an investigation? No? Never. And there were five other high profile meetings even including with the Vice president, and in those conversations, people that were there all said aid was never discussed. What else do we need here? Well, John Bolton, he may say it in his new book, say what. The transcripts speak for themselves. We know the meetings afterwards, they speak for themselves. Zolenski speaks for himself. The Foreign minister speaks for himself. You know. The funny thing is watching these congressmen. They didn't even want Ukraine to get the aid that Donald Trump gave them. Pretty amazing to our phones, we go, let's say hi to John and California. John High, How are you welcome to the program? How are you good? That's going on? Well, a lot of this um starting with the impeachment managers saying, well, we've given Donald Trump enough chances to prove his innocence, and so that's assuming guilty until proven innocent, which is not our justice system. And the blatant line that's been going on, I mean, just throwing it out there, throwing it out there, throwing it out there. I can't believe that there aren't ethics violations, just you know, being treaded here because a lot of these people are attorneys, and there's there's attorneys have ethics, and then as a congress person you have ethics as well. So there's this rapid crazy ethics violations going on in my mind, and I just I don't know how that can just continue without some checks and balance. And somebody say, rein it in, guys, because you're out of control here, you know what I mean. Listen, I've got to tell you it is this, This is the swamp. This has been there. Their three year mission. They tried to first influence the outcome of an election cheating. There was Russian interference. Stevin Nunez warned to be Russian interference. Nobody listened in the Biden Obama years to prevent it from happening. But also now we know, if the New York Times got any one thing right, Hillary's dirty, unverifiable dossier was likely Russian misinformation from the get go. Now Russia was putting out, you know, stories about Donald Trump and hookers that are rich, Carlton and Moscow urinating on his bed. I think sounds like to me that Putin and whoever from Russia gave that disinformation that Hillary paid for, probably didn't want Donald Trump to win. I think we can figure that out too. It's the truth does not matter to them. That's why to get lectured by the congenital liar on truth truth. I'm like, yeah, mirror, please look anyway. Thank you, John, appreciate it. Saying hi to Randy and Nebraska. Randy, how are you glad you called? Sir? God good Sean? How you doing? Oh? Good man? What's going on? Hey? I just had a comment to make about the impeachment trial. I watch a show every night, and the other night you had Alan Dershaw, what's on there? And somebody asked, why don't they object to the statements that Adam Shift's making? And well they can, which led me to the next thing is on your show every night you'll have your little montage of Adam Shift in his lying and spewing the facts that are totally wrong. And it's like, I would love to see your crew because I know they do a great job. Put together the Adam Shift lying show along with the Democrats the crime for impeachment that started, you know, nineteen minutes after he was sworn into office. Put that in there and show that I have done it. We've done everything. We've laid out the timeline through twenty sixteen, through all through twenty seventeen, all through twenty eighteen, all through twenty nineteen. Impeach, impeach, impeach. I mean, honestly, I could run it probably a full hour if you wanted. I try to make the case efficiently, but also leave time for some other content in the show. Anyway, I gotta roll. But you're making good points. We're all over it. If anybody wants the truth, we're giving the truth. If anyone wants to believe the congenital liar, I guess you can. But how many more times do you want to be lied to? All Right? We got time for one more quick call here the great state of Oregon. Kelly, you get the final minute this hour that our news round up with Carter Page coming up. Hey, Sean, how's it going. I'm good, sir. How are you? I'm doing all right. I'm out here in liberal country, Oregon. But there's quite a few of US supporters more than they like to advertise. There's a lot of people out here that you respect, appreciate what the president's doing. That's great to talk about. Wanted to ask how want people start looking at the motives of some of these some of the I mean, everybody knows, even on the Democrats side, this impeachment to Sham. I want people to look into like it's it's blatantly obvious Chuck Schumer's only gunning for those four seats in the Senate. It's blatantly obvious that Nancy Pelosi is trying to obviously protect your son Paoploki, which we haven't even gotten into yet. I can't wait until that breaks open. There's other people that's had on boards and other companies that are reaping the benefits. And I feel like this Fiser release is just the chip of the iceberg. I think there's so much corruption going on, and like Donald Tump said, he's coming in to stir up the nest. And when you stir up the nest, what happens. The ornates get pissed off, starts singing back, and I think that's Look, this is what draining the swamp looks like. And let me tell you the swamp creatures. You know now that the swampy water is getting drained out, and you know they're coming out of the deep, dark crevices and the dark muddy areas. It's pretty ugly to see how hard they're going to fight to maintain this swamp just the way they want it. And let me tell you what it all comes down to. I'll break it down to his brass tacks here, and that is they want the power. They don't care that their plans screwed everybody over the last eight years of Biden Obama. They just want to go back to those days and double down on stupid now. They want the New Green Deal at ninety four trillion and Medicare for all at night at fifty two trillion. It's a lot of stake in two and eighty one days. But you're the ultimate ultimate jury and you can shock the world again. Quick break Carter page reacts. Yep, it's now been vindicated. Even further, our reporting has been vindicated. That next straight ahead. Stay right here for our final news round up and information overload. On December seventeenth, twenty nineteen, the FISA Court issued a scathing order in response to the Justice Department Inspector General's report on FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation into whether or not the Trump campaign was coordinating with Russia. We already know the conclusion that report detailed. The FBI's pattern of practice, systematic abuses of obtaining surveillance order requests, and the process they utilize in its order. This is the order from the court. I'm going to read it. This order responds to reports that personnel of the Federal Bureau of Investigation provided false information to the National Security Division of the Department of Justice and withheld material information from the NSD which was detrimental to the FBI's case in connection with four applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. When the FBI personnel misled NSD in the ways that are described in these reports, they equally misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. This order has been followed up. There's been another order. It was declassified just a couple of days ago. Fakes in large part, the Court said to the Office of Inspector General US Department of Justice, the Court has received notice of material misstatements and omissions in applications filed by the government in the above cap and documents. DJ assesses that with respect to the applications, and it lists two specific docket numbers seventeen three seventy five and seventeen six seventy nine. If not earlier, there was not there was insufficient predication to establish probable cause to believe that Carter Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power. The President had reason to be concerned about the information he was being provided. Now could we could ignore this, We could make believe this did not happen, but it did. Among the most important are the requirements in FBI policy that every PHISA application must contain a quote full and accurate close quote presentation of the facts, and that agents must ensure that all factual statements in PHISA applications are quote scrupulously accurate close quote. These are the standards for all PHISA applications, regardless of the investigation sensitivity, regardless, I'm sorry, and it is incumbent upon the FBI to meet them in every application. Nevertheless, we found that investigators failed to meet their basic obligations of ensuring that the FISA applications were scrupulous scrupulously accurate. We identified significant inaccuracies and omissions in each of the four applications, seven in the first application and a total of seventeen by the final renewal application. Did you have total confidence in adoptation? We used it to secure survenemance. Weren't also in the subsequent renewal, a total confidence that the Fizer process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by DOJ and the FBI. I think the notion that Fiser was abused here is no nonsense. Not quite because last week's big bombshell, of course the mob and the media would never want a report, is that, in fact the DOJ said it was abused. Everything we've been telling you, the dirty dossier, the bulk of information, and all four fives the application warrants, Well now they're saying at least two numbers three and four Comey signed one of those two was likely illegal on every level and shouldn't have been issued. And now there's a full top to bottom, you know, you know, investigation as to what's going to happen from here, because the Inspector General report has said it, and now others lived through it. One person had lived for a year being spied on illegally because people had a political agenda. That's Carter Paige, who joins US now former Trump campaign associate. How are you, sir, I'm doing great, Sean like it's like it now. By the way, I can also now introduce you as former CIA operative. Well, unfortunately that's been disclosed by uh, you know, really some after some really dirty acts. So it's unfortunate, but I yes, it's it's now a matter of the public records you as you figured out through your great investigative journalism beforehand. So yes, well let's talk about your reaction to the announcement by the DOJ. That's an admission of guilt. That's an admission that what we said about the bulk of the FISA applications being a non verifiable dirty dossier that Hillary paid for. That means that they were legally spying on you. But you basically became a conduit into all things Trump world because once they get a FISA application on you, well, that means they have the ability to go back right through every email you've written, every phone call you've made, every text message you sent or received, so that I actually think you many ways you were being used the entire time. Now they're admitting to it. First your thoughts about it, and secondly, I know what I do, I'd be suing everybody. Well, Sean, I think that court filing from last week that you talk that you mentioned in site, it really represents just you know, along the lines of what we've been talking about for the last couple of years, another step on the road to recovery for America's really deeply damaged judicial system. And I just hope this is this latest admission of guilt for all these terrible civil rights abuses against the Trump campaign and you know, including myself by the Justice Department. Really the marks continued progress towards you know, another step towards justice and really remedying these reputationally ruinous injuries. So it's been pretty incredible, but a lot more to come, as you've as you've long done, do you believe as the next step now because the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, he had a limited purview because he only worked as the Inspector General of the DOJ within the confines of the DOJ and the confines of the FBI, and yet it was a very damning report. He's now referred both Come and McCabe criminal investigations and more importantly, the Attorney General, and we know that John Dorham, the Prosecutor, both said this goes a lot deeper and a lot further than the purview of the Inspector General, and even takes well, they disagree. They've said based on an our ability to go way outside of the limited area you had in which you could look into this thing, as bad as it was, it sounds to me like foreign countries. And this will impact you as well, because if I remember correctly, you were approached by a professor misfit, and as was George Papadopolis and Sam Clovis and others, and that they were they were trying to get information on you over there. Now the question is did they outsource spying to circumvent American law? Do you have any thoughts on that? Well, the professor it was actually a separate professor. I think you cite some important things that happened a few months the professor another for professor overseas in England was Professor Helper at Cambridge University in the UK. So yes he did. That's I correct myself, because yes Helper was the Australian that brought up the issue or brought the attention of Papadopoulos to authorities, but also going after you and Sam Clovis. Of my memory serves me, well you have that right, yes, and poor Sam. I mean, if you look at the tumult that it created not only for the president and the candidate he supported, but you know, President Trump eventually nominated him as the Undersecretary of Agriculture, a really top position at the Department of Agriculture, and unfortunately, with all this faith Muller investigation stuff he had in all these leaks in the media, he had to step aside. And it was just really a tragic series of events. So now that all of this has happened to you, now the question is where do you go from here? Because you've been vindicated. I mean, I think probably there was a period of time I didn't really know what to think about you. I was probing and I was asking, and I noticed that you would pretty pretty much duck and dodge questions when I asked about what you did over in Russia. But then I got you to finally admit that you would come back and you would sit down with and speak to many of our intelligence agents and three letter agencies, and you gave them all sorts of download us to the work we now know you were doing over there, which, by the way, probably put your life at risk somewhat. Yeah, Sean, look, I mean tribute to you on that front, and you now understand the reason why I was trying to you know, both for those life threatening problems that it created for me, but also just as it was being falsely leaked out to the media, you know, misrepresented in the idea. But in addition, I mean, all the all the hard work you did in terms of getting to the bottom of it was really essential. You know. I actually I was flying to UH to go visit with UH, you know, my my big legal team which is working on all this last last night, and I watched the Mike Wallace documentary about you know what he did with sixty minutes, et cetera. And you know, all the challenges in taking taking on authority and everything you did to really dig into this and and push forward to getting towards the truth was so much, so much deeper. And I mean, really, how was this impacted your career? Now? I would assume your career UH in the Intel community is now finished, correct, Well, I mean my career on on many levels. I mean that was I was I was serving my country in that context and you know, helping it out in any way I can. But in addition, you know, my my work in the finance industry so many deals I was working on before we're cut off when you know, all the banks didn't want to deal with me anymore with these fake media reports pushed by the DNC and their consultants and all their terrible operatives like the congenital liar, Adam Shifts, etc. So um and really across the board. I mean, it was, it's been, but I think we're Yeah, would you consider suing Adams Shift? Well, I don't want to get into specifics, uh, in terms of our strategy right now. All I can say, Sean is we're working around the clock this week as we've been working the last several months. Major steps are going forward and uh, I'll plan to tell you about that later this week. So more to more to come. But I mean, specifically, he was telling America a story that was false. Is that not? We now know that to be true. Now he's doing his Ukraine thing. But you know, if we look over Adam Schiff at his track record, he was wrong on pretty much everything. Wasn't he I was? I was. It was crazy. This morning, I just tweeted out a tweet that he I retweeted a tweet that he sent out on July twenty twenty eighteen, saying, falsely saying that the release of the Carter page fives application makes clear once again the FBI acted lawfully and appropriately, and this hasn't stopped the President and Republicans from repeating the same fraudulent talking points in their discredited neunez Meno Sadly, some thing's never changed. And I mean it's just, uh, you know, why hasn't he deleted that? You know, there's just because I think part of the reason he's lied so many times, he's just been such a congenital liar. You know, it would it would be impossible. He has, you know, the last six months on the congressional record, everything that he's done. You know, it's impossible, h you know, with the impeachment hoax and all the all the terrible things beforehand, him and the other DNC operatives, um and you know financial beneficiaries. Do you have a timeline when we might hear about any potential legal action. I think I'll have things to tell you about that later this week. Sean or working very very hard, but you know it's going to be out. Do you deserve it? I mean it, well, for a long time, I think a lot of Americans thought, well, they got to be availing this guy for a reason, and it was just the opposite, because you were cooperating with our intelligence community. It began to make sense to me after you spend so little time with Robert Muller and then they just left you alone. He never came up in their world anymore because they knew the truth, and yet they'd never told anybody the truth. Nobody ever went out there to defend you, And there were perceptions and lies and thoughts that were created for pure nefarious purposes. And I believe in many ways you were just used as a means of violating as frankly, as a means to spy on a campaign, a transition team and day president. And unfortunately you got caught up in the middle of it, which really is awful for you when it shouldn't have happened, and your civil liberties and constitutional rights were violated and numerous in a multitude of ways. So I mean, it's just it's just too much. Is this too much? The story is just too much, It doesn't make sense, and just make a long story short. Now I'm here in the Lakers uniform in Philadelphia, where he's from, where I one of the first first time I've ever met him, gave me his shoes. He want to All Star Week. It's just it's surreal. It doesn't make no sense. But the universe, uh just puts things in your life. And when you I guess, when you live in the right way or you just given everything to whatever you're doing, things happen organically and it's not supposed to make sense, but it just happens. Kovid, Thank you man, Thank you for all the memories. We got a lot of good ones and these tears that we cry. We're gonna miss you, and it's not gonna go. It's not leaving today, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now. We will forever forever miss you. Man. You're a legend, You're our icon, You're our father. You're a husband, your son, your brother, your friend. Thank you for being my friend. Do you think your daughter might want to play in the w NBA. She does, for sure, she doesn't. It means this kid man wouldn't be great. Dude. Man, I'm telling you the best, the best thing, the best thing that happens is when we go out and fans will come up to me and She'll be standing next to me and they'll be like, and you gotta have a boy you and v gotta have a boy. Man. You have somebody carry on the tradition, the legacy. She's like, oh yeah, I got this right, all right. That was Kobe Bryant. The last part was about his daughter, who also died in this tragic helicopter crash that took place over the weekend. You know, one of the things I love about sports. I love that the way that athletes will push and push and drive and work and sports and you know Super Bowl Sunday is coming up. It's that they mirror life in so many ways. What do you learn in sports? You learn that okay, sometimes not everything's fair, the ref makes a bad call, sometimes people cheat. Sometimes, Uh, you gotta learn you're not gonna win every single time you play every single sport. If you are, then I guess you'll be, you know, like Kobe Bryant, because he won a lot his entire career. It's just to watch the gifts that people have. Why do we like to watch sporting events? Because you're watching people that can do things that we mere mortals cannot and the talents that they've discovered you have to learn to be a gracious loser, learned to be a good winner. You learn that the harder you work, the better you do. Anyway, thoughts and prayers to the whole LA Lakers organization. And it's it's just sad, I mean, just so young. I mean I think it's what forty one years old thirteen year old daughter Gianna and was one of the game's more popular players, sixteen time MBA champion Lakers. Wow. Cause of the crash is unknown. Ap said, I don't know if this impacted the crash aspect of it. That was apparently a pretty rugged hillside outside of Los Angeles, foggy conditions some considered so dangerous that the local police agencies grounded their choppers and it plunged into a hillside. But we're getting a little bit of conflicting information here. One witness said it was falling and spluttering, and I mean, this is this This was like a Rolls Royce helicopter. This was a Sikorski. Uh, this is a real deal helicopter. It wasn't one of those little bubble helicopters that I would never get in myself. But um, anyway, there's no, nothing to say except that somebody that gifted that talented so young. Tragic. It shows us how life is just always hanging in the balance, doesn't it. Um and the meat. By the way, the media, of course they get it wrong, mangle the whole thing. You know, it's I guess whatever they say, they always get wrong. You can't even get you know, straight news even on something like this, you know, immediately reacting the way the reporters react. Um that you know here it is nine people died in this terrible crash. They can't they can't wait for the facts to get in. We see that happen all the time. It did include his daughter and one of her teammates on her basketball team. Those are the facts. Everything else you hear about the victims has been false. Turns out come almost entirely from reporters and mainstream news outlets. Of the journalists who fell down on the job. You know, you have ABC News guy Matt Gutman, inexplicably repeating a rumor on the air alleging that he had died in the helicopter crash with all four daughters. Okay, well, is his wife listening to that report? Maybe just wait and find out if in fact you have the truth. Yet, you know four of his children would believed to be in the helicopter with him, one of them a newborn. Simply devastating. Whoops, Oh sorry, I ran, I ran too quickly. It's he's had an amazing life and career and legacy and impact on this game. You will forever be remembered. Amazing talent, amazing. We haven't done a lot yet. I'm watching it really closely. But when you see this virus in China, and I know President, she warned, telling Senior shows that China faces a grave situation. The death toll there is eighty one two, seven hundred and forty four cases reported. It seems like they got in very, very late into recognizing what the coronavirus outbreak was about. The incubation time is quite long. That makes contact tracing even more difficult. Although contact tracing is okay, you have the virus, tell us everybody you've got into contact with, everywhere you've been, if you've been on a plane, if you've been on a plane, everyone now has to be screened that was on that airplane. To shut down Disney in China, to shut down movie theaters, in China is quite alarming. It looks like they're trying to build a new hospital and a day to deal with this. And then the question is, well, how widespread to get around the world. We just gotta watch it, We gotta we have to be careful. It's having an impact on the stock market. They got scared by it hitting tourism, which is a big part of a lot of people's economies. Other countries are now scrambling to evacuate citizens from China. Mongolia has closed its borders with China as a result of the virus that's happening. And you got a case in Arizona, one in California. We have the Fox Newtons is now saying five confirmed cases of the new virus in the United States. I do know. We have Anthony Fauci on Hannity tonight to go over this, and so we'll watch monitor. It's not time for anybody to get scared, but you got to pay attention. These things can get out of control very quickly, very dangerous. All right, let's get to our busy phones. Two and eighty one days and you get to shock the world. San Francisco, Tim you know, it really shocked the world. If California went red, that would shock the world. Well, we got a waste to go. I'm the only conservative in the city of San Francisco. But Sean Adam Ship needs to go down. This guy needs to be exposed. He needs to be politically fileted like the rotten fiicity is, so that all the America can see the rotten maggots running around in his soul. And the problem is that the Democrats are going to do everything they can to circle and protect him without witnesses. You know, I want to see Adam Schiff called more than I want to see Hunter or Joe Biden called. I think that he this one person who's been the most awful, cynically wicked politician in my lifetime, my sixty one years. I've seen a lot of them. This guy to be able to bring the country to his knees because of his singular, egotistical, maniacal wishes, he just needs to be cut to the quick. The problem is about calling witnesses. We can't call him unless we're we agree to call these other people. But this is my point. We have sixteen hours of question and an Now I don't know how this is going to go because no one's talked about it, and I don't know why no one's talking about it. I mean, as the chief Justice, who's been sitting like a bump on the log as a chess timekeeper, is he going to be the one handling objections, telling whether or not an answers Germaine, whether it's relevant? Is he going to be that gall if it becomes an executive privilege fight, which it could very well, you know, I'm really torn, and I guess I wouldn't be torn if we didn't have some weak Republicans. And it gets frustrating, although I do see I know that Susan Collins is quite annoyed and angry, even I think would be the right word. Um, I'm not sure. I just I really am frustrated by Mitt Romney in a lot of ways. The very things we need to use. We need to use the question and answer period to question Adam Ship because we don't use We can say no to witnesses and still use our question and answers. We don't have to subpoena if they want Bolton. If they want Bolton and they want Pompeio and they want Vaney, well that then it's open season. Then then you're gonna have shift have to go under oath or members of his staff that that we're talking to the hearsay Don whistleblower. Whistleblower, then you're gonna have to you have to then bring in the legitimacy of even mentioning Joe quid pro quo Joe and Hunter. And that's a slam dunk case. I'm all for bringing that up, every bit of that up, because there is the very thing that they themselves are claiming is so outrageous and they just exonerate the bidens for just purely partisan purposes. You know, it's the fundamental lack of fairness, the breathtaking hypocrisy they are willing to take on to advance their psychotic Trump hate Trump rage, because that's where all of this ends up. So I guess we'll go everywhere. Here's your answer, Tim, Thank you eight hundred ninety four one. Sewn you want to be a part of the program, All right, Iowa Caucus is coming Don, Iowa. How are you? What is it next Monday? I believe right? How are you sir? Next one of the yes, very good, Sean, thank you for taking my call. I'm forever a listener and very appreciative of everything you do. Thank you. My condolences to the Kobe Bryant family and to his daughters and to the whole Lacre nation. I'm really in shock. Saved this everybody. But yeah, I mean, it's just what it is is. It's sad. It's you know, he's he's literally in the prime of his life, having had the most amazing career, and he just dazzled every arena he ever played in. He he just had that extra whatever it is that makes him better than all the rest, amazing without a doubt. Um, what I called about was this whole uh, this whole impeachment that's going on. Months ago, I remember reading the DNC was out of funds they would and once this started, I decided early on that this whole thing is their lack of fundraising, that this is their only way to get their political faith out to the country because they're using it for basically fundraising and to send what limited message they have saying elect us because we're not Trump. That's that's all this is. This is all they've ever had. What are they going to be able to say they've done in the three years Donald Trump has been president. Well, because what is their job? Is their job to hate Trump every second of every day. Now, Okay, I understand the game of politics, and you want to beat the other guy. I've always believed that if you keep your promises and you make the country more safe and more secure, and you create more prosperity, and you create jobs and opportunities for Americans, I think that's a pretty good platform to get reelected on a right, pretty simple. I'm not a politician, and what I we I have not seen that from this group of radical, extreme socialist Democrats. I just have and we're not going to see it because it doesn't exist in them. That's the sad part. It's it's it is so beyond frustrating to me that this is all they ever do. We got an election, the Ultimate Jury in two hundred and eighty one days, and to watch these weak Republicans. I mean, you know, think about what these Republican senators are taking on the end of this here. I mean, really, you're going to allow the congenital compromise Liar Adam Schiff, you know, oh, you'll get your head on your heads will be on a pike, he says, or Trump would have their heads on a pike if they don't vote the way the Trump wants them to vote. Well, I hate to tell and inform the ever so ignorant liar Schiff. Many have voted against Donald Trump on some important issues. I know Lisa Murkowski, Senator from Alaska. She's ticked off and she has every right to be. And it wasn't much better, you know, with the fascist comment of Jerry Nadler. You know, I think Jonathan Turley's analysis, Yeah, he made a huge mistake. He was talking about Nadler during the impeachment trial. And one thing you teach law students is that when you make arguments to juries, make sure you don't insult the jury. That is, don't want to make statements that make them feel stupid or ascribe any bad motivations to them. And he was referring to the moment Nadler accused the Senate of a cover up, just like he's calling the president a fascist. The question is is whether the Senate will be complicit in the President's crimes. Well, that's a little insulting to the jury. Wouldn't you say yes, absolutely without a doubt. But as long as Donald Trump just keeps doing what he's doing in winnings and winning for Americans. We're gonna all be fine through this whole thing. It'll go away eventually, hopefully maybe by at the end of this week. We'd always hope and pray. Right, all right, Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. Loaded up as we have. Congressman Kevin McCarthy, also Carl Rove. This is now backfiring on the Democrats hole around the country. Part of the president's defense team will join us. Congressman Mike Johnson, Jordan's seculo Michael Waltz will join us. Also, Doctor Anthony Fauci nervous about this virus. We'll get the details. All coming up. Two and eighty one days to go tonight at nine Hannity on Fox. Thanks for being with us. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
