All Right, So I'm getting news that it should be breaking tonight at nine on Hannity that I can't tell you about yet, but it is going to It is going to put a lot of clarification on the face of warrants and the applications. That's all I can tell you right now. I'm not trying to tease you. I'm just telling you this is going to be This is gonna blow fies right wide open tonight. And that's great news, and we'll be breaking it on Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on the Box News channel. And what did they know? When did they know it? Those are going to be very interesting questions and did they lie about it? And is there evidence of it? I mean, look, you have an FBI that again leadership in the FBI. Look look at James Comey's FBI right now. Under James come All these people are gone, fired, resigned, demoted, you know. Now we have the General Council of the FBI under James Comey, he's now under a criminal investigation. The Deputy FBI Director under James Comey, he's under a criminal investigation, you know, at the end of this, and I think by tonight when we break this new news, James Comey is going to be right in the middle of this. And James Comey, I warned you a long time ago because he acts so arrogant, and he acts like he's holier than now and so sanctimonious, and he's the only one that has the real truth out there. And but it's under his watch where these all this abuse of power took place. Remember, he signs a FISA warrant, the first one in October of twenty sixteen, and we now know that the bulk of that information was never verified or corroborated. That in and of itself is committing fraud on the court, because that's the FBI's job. But even a Rob Rosenstein, who signed the fourth warrant, the third renewal warrant, you know, admitting that if you sign on your career officials signing onto a FISA warrant to buy in an American, in this case, an American associated with a presidential campaign, you've got big trouble the way we operate in the Department of Justice. If we're going to accuse somebody of wrongdoing. We have to have admissible evidence and credible witnesses. We need to prepare to prove our case in court, and we have to fix our signature to the charging document. That's something that not everybody appreciates. There's a lot of talk about FISA applications, and many people that I see talking about it seem not to recognize what a FIES applicat. FIES application is actually a warrant, just like a search warrant. In order to get a FISA search warrant, you need an affidavit signed by a career federal law enforcement officer who swears that the information in the affidavit is true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief. And that's the way we operate. And if it's wrong sometimes it is. If you find out there's anything incorrect in there, that person is going to face consequences. Oh, that person is going to face consequences. Well, now we're getting to the bottom of it, and this is gonna be probably the biggest breakthrough tonight we've had in at least six months regarding this, and it's going to impact a lot of people. And it's interesting because with the hearings of William Barr yesterday, and can I calm some of you down a little bit? If you're gonna be the Attorney General of the United States, even if you believe that she should have been locked up, and he was, people got so angry that he didn't sign on to the lock her up. As an attorney general, part of your job is to be fair jud dishes. Part of your job is to look at the evidence and then make decisions based on the rule of law and applying the evidence to what the law happens to be. And when he says lock her up, you're basically concluding she's guilty. Now, I can do that. You can do that, but if you're trying to get confirmed in that position, it wouldn't be wise to do that. We already know he's critical of Robert Muller's investigation because he stated so publicly in a memo. No, he doesn't mean that when he says it's not a witch on I don't think he'd be capable of that. He still didn't like the investigation, and I think he made very clear yesterday William Barr that he doesn't He's under no obligation according to DOJ guidelines to ever release any of that information, said he would release everything that's possible to the public based on DJ you know, protocols and guidelines they say basically, you don't release that information. But we'll see. That's the different issue for a different day. But you know, at the center of a lot of this, especially with the FBI and the Department of Justice, the center of all of this even is James Comey. I mean, it's Collmey and Struck, the guys that were writing the exoneration of Hillary. They did that in May. They didn't interview her till July. It was him saying that, oh, no real prosecutor whatever prosecute these crimes. Excuse me, every prosecutor. There's not an American citizen that would have deleted emails the way Hillary did. And Bleach bit the hard drive to clean it completely, so you can't retrieve the emails from the hard drive. Like when you delete things, you think they're gone, But most computers actually save everything, and there are ways to retrieve lost emails, and these experts are really good at retrieving them. Now, that's why bleach. It was created so that you wipe it clean and not like with a cloth, either wipe it clean, meeting the data but with a cloth, or I mean, that was one of the great moments of all times. So now you've got the walls are closing in here on James Comey, and I'm telling you he's in trouble. James Comey is in legal trouble at this hour. James Comey, who signed Now think about this. He signed the first FISA warrant. We're told, think of all the people that signed these FISA warrants because the bulk of information was to steal dossier that Hillary Clinton paid for. Now they have an obligation we just played Rod Rosenstein to actually verify and corroborate the information. They didn't do it because if they did it, they would have found out what we now know, that it's debunked, it's inaccurate. They purposefully didn't tell the FISA court judges that this was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, that the money she used she funneled through a law firm that hired a op research group, that then hired a foreign national that then used foreign sources in Russia to put these lies together. Anyway, so now James Baker, the FBI general council. He's under a criminal investigation. That's James Comey's general counsel, James Comey's deputy FI director second in command, Andrew McCabe. He is under a criminal investigation. Then you got his top investigator, the guy that was co authoring the exoneration of Hillary and did the Hillary interview, also involved in the Flynn interview, also involved in initiating the Russia witch hunt immediately after the exonerated Hillary. Look, if they had followed the law, and we now know there was internal debate within the FBI, if they had followed the law, she would have been indicted. She then would no longer have been able to carry on as the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. But Struck, who interviewed her and wrote the exoneration with Komey again working for Komy. Everything gets back to Comy now. He thought that Clinton should win one hundred million to ZIP, same with his girlfriend Lisa Paige and both Page and Struck, interestingly, then they went to work for Robert Muller. Then Robert Muller conveniently cleaned their cell phones, and I guess, I guess every American has the right to clean their cell phone anytime they want. I guess every American should you know, be cleaning cell phones. Why didn't they save those cell phones that could have had a lot of evidence on there? You know, the only we were only able to forensically get back some of them thanks to the Inspector General Michael Horowitz. So you know, look at all these people struck Page McCabe Baker, then you got his chief of stab for Bicky who resigned, and now we know that Comy's general council, We get all these people around Comy now potentially going to face criminal charges and something Comy himself admitted to. But don't forget one of the big issues they're looking into now is who leaked, what went and where? Well Comey's already bragged about his leaking about the president to the media to a close friend of Columbia professor, who brought that information as per Comy's requests to the New York Times. Okay, that too could be he could be guilty of a crime on And what all these people have in common. They all wanted Hillary to win. They all hated and continue to hate Donald Trump. They all work together to rig our political system. They all work together to rig an election, to fix the outcome of the twenty sixteen election by using their positions to help Hillary get elected. And as we now know that they even had an urance policy in case they lost. You know, it's like if you're forty and I have a heart attack and a media leak strategy in case Clinton didn't win. And hence, this is what the whole Russian narrative has been about. This is about vengeance. And then after Komi was fired, what do we see his deputies, these comp officials that love him so much out of their anger and malice emotion, without any evidence, without any probable cause, without any reasonable suspicion at all. Well, maybe the reason the president fired Komy is because he maybe Putin wanted him to fire Komey. They make up a conspiracy out of whole cloth and begin a counterintelligence investigation which is not within their purview. How you know why all the rank and file field agents in the FBI are so angry because they know all of this. If they did it, they'd be in deep trouble. Glenn Greenwald I think pointed out rightly the FBI's investigation into Trump is a lot like j Edgar Hoover. Remember, Hoover served as the FBI director for decades and became infamous for his aggressive investigations and the people he didn't like, or people he suspected had ties to the former Soviet Union and even suspected FDR as Vice President Henry Wallace. He subjected him to a lengthy probe and surveillance simply because Hoover disagreed with Wallace's Cold War policy. The FBI should not be in the business of investigating political differences, policy differences, personal opinions. And yet they thought, they obviously thought that they knew better than us, than we the people. And this two year conspiracy to undo an elect duly elected president that continues today is a direct result of rogue upper echelon, highly powered individuals deciding they know better than we know. Now. Bill Barr, William Barr, the next Attorney General, you know, you know, hopefully he'll he'll bring equal justice under the law back into our purview. Maybe he's not going to give these guys a pass because there's a lot of people Comey McCabe, Yates, Rod Rosenstein, all likely committing fraud on a fis a court. Think about that. How do you get to go to a court. Would any of you listen into this program, bring material in front of a judge. You know what one of the rules in life is, you go before a judge, you say yes, sir, no, sir, yes, ma'am no, ma'am yes, your honor, no, your honor, and then you're better shut up. And one thing you don't do is lie to them. You lie to them, you're dead because they have all the power in that situation. But you think about it, this was systematic fraud, lies perpetrated not once, but four times on FISA court judges. That literally took away the civil rights, you know, one of our most basic fundamental rights, which is against unreasonable search and seizure and warrants. And they did it knowingly, so if they knew this was false, and yet it became the bulk of that application. That's anyone who knew it and signed their name to it goes to jail. These people. If we William Barr does his job, all of these people will go to jail, all of them. I'm just telling you. It's bigger than a boomerang in a lot of ways. You'll see as this now continues to unfold, so you know, if Barr ends up doing his job. And I understand, and I was reading a lot of social media and when he made comments about well, I didn't like when you know, lock her up, he can his attorney general rush to judgment. We don't want an attorney general that would rush to judgment. Now we know what Hillary did, so we understand it. But he has not officially investigated it. But he said he would, which is a very important part. Said he would investigate FISA and baysa abuse. You know, if we're going to look at the abuse of power, you know, all these people tonight today ought to be concerned bomb James come I would be concerned that I'm in legal jeopardy today. We know that there is a criminal investigation into both Baker and McCabe. McCabe, the former deputy at deputy FBI director, McCabe, the general counsel for Comey struck all his nonsense. He should be worried today, as Lisa Page should be worried today, as Bruce or should be worried today, because they used their high positions in our federal government to literally persecute people they politically disagreed with. And you can't forget about lying to the FBI is such a big deal. Well, we know Baker is looking into that as a charge of with him, but that it would also bring in people like Brennan and Clapper. How many lives have they told take a quick break? Smoking is not about politics, it's about people. There are thirty four million Americans that smoke.

Warning this product contains nicotine, and nicotine is an addictive chemical. Juul dot com slash switch America. All right, twenty five nowntil the top of the hour. One of the things that's gonna get very, very entertaining. You're gonna want to maybe buy a big popcorn machine as the as the twenty nineteen Democratic primaries now begin to kick in and who's gonna get in, who's not gonna get into the race, etc. You know, because it's this is going to be your race to the most radical leftist socialist wing in the Democratic Party. And I think they'll go so far they'll never be able to recover. You know. The you usually say that you tend to move a little bit to the middle after you get your nomination. I don't think it's possible with some of the people we were talking about. Now. We did have a couple of things, if you'll I'll give you one example. The rock star of the Democratic Party now, Alexandria Acasio Cortez. You know she already day once you wanted to support Trump's impeachment, calls to occupy every airport, border and ice office actually called for that. Bernie Sanders, you know, looks like a conservative compared to Acasio Cortez. And of course she's her supporters understand socialism Medicare for all is cheaper than Obamacare. Not true. Even the liberal news media is calling around on the cost of all of the plans that she's put together. The upper middle class America doesn't exist anymore. That's not true either. You know, she doesn't answer how to pay for her forty billion dollar platform. I ain't gonna pay for all this and doesn't and end of course, she wants to defeat global warming like we defeated Nazis. We have a cut of her saying that she can't name three branches of government on top of all of this. That's a little scary. And you know, even I think Nancy Pelosi is afraid of her. I think Nancy Pelosi knows that her speakership is hanging in the balance because of the radicals that are in her party, and they could there could be a change in leadership within the next two years. That's why Nancy Pelosi, I'll give you a dollar for the wall, and Acasio Cortez the goal of zero carbon emissions, no fossil fuels in twelve years. Okay, it's the lifeblood of every economy. How did the lender work out for us? Not that well? A waste of taxpayer money, which again the media didn't care about the quit pro quo in that particular case. She wants a seventy percent tax on the super wealthy. How do we define super wealthy? That's like Comrade de Blasio said, there's a ton of wealth in New York, it's just in the wrong hands. Well, did they steal it? That? Were they drug dealers? Was? Are these ill gotten gains of people that have money. I know some people that have money in my life. I know some people that have moderate incomes in life. I know people evolved economic socioeconomic backgrounds of my life. I know some people that work nineteen hours a day every day and don't stop now maybe, and I know people that only want to work five six hours a day, and they do. They want to live a better life. They've made the choice of living a better life, but they don't make as much money as those people that work eighteen hours a day. Now we're gonna say, oh, we're gonna punish you for deciding making the choice to work eighteen hours a day, or what about the people that you know spend all those years going to law school, medical school. You know, think of a right to become a doctor. Four years of college, what three or four years of medical school, internships, residencies, and one day you want to start an office. But you're still you're starting now with five hundred thousand dollars in debt student loans to pay for your education, unless you're lucky enough to have parents that were able to pay for for you. But most people take out loans. They got to pay all that money back. Then if they want to start a business, well, now you're talking in they're in the late twenties or early thirties. Now they want to start a business, Okay, well they have to have money for that. They want to start a practice, and then let's say, then their work life is intense just to pay back the loans. That's gonna take a long time. Then if they get a business, then they have to pay rent, and then they have to hire people. And then they like look at the look at the equipment that doctor needs to put in their office, depending on what type of medicine is being practice or a dentist, you know, those those dentist chairs are really expensive. Okay, well, you gotta pay for them, maybe take loans out on them, and you gotta start getting patience in those chairs. And that takes maybe marketing money. And you gotta pay the light bill, and you gotta pay the maintenance people. Then you gotta pay this person and that person, and the asidental hygienist and the assistant. I mean, it's not easy to get made. It's it's not easy. I don't know anybody that has it easy in life. Life's not supposed to be easy. You know. It's the whole story of The Road Less Traveled, great bestseller self help book and Scott Peck. Life is hard once you recognize that truth that life is hard and actually gets easier because you're accepted a truth about life. I love how Acasio Cortez compared herself to FDR and Lincoln. Call me a radical. Democrats have compromised too much, he says, and she goes on from there, defending her stance on socialist policies and you know, false spending statistics. Two of the top contenders for the twenty twenty presidential nomination for the Democrats have abandoned plans to participate in the so called Women's March, which is the marquee event of the anti Trump resistance, amide growing concerns that several of the march's key organizers are virulent anti Semites. Washington Times reporting the DNC delivered a devastating blow yesterday by dropping their affiliation with the Women's March. This would be the third annual. Remember the first one have really famous people like Madonna, wasn't that the Women's March? And Ashley Judd and I think an awful lot about blowing up the White House. I'm not gonna play it now anyway. DNC released the statements say they stand in solidarity with those fighting for women's rights, but they offered no explanation for their decision, Nor did Kamala Harris. We now know she wants to run for president. Here'ston jilla Brand of New York. She's now planning on running for president. They're not attending this year's march. Jilla Brand's decision to abandon the march has to be particularly disappointing for the event supporters. Jilla Brand called the twenty seventeen March the most inspiring transformational moment I've ever witnessed in politics. The movement happened, she wrote in Time magazine Tribute to the March because four extraordinary women Tamika Mallory, Bob Bland, Carmen Perez, Linda Sarsore She's gonna have a lot of explaining sarsor explaining and coming up in her future, had the courage to take on something big, important and urgent and never gave up. And to make a Mallory's refusal to denounce Louis Farricon during an appearance on The View earlier this week seemed to accelerate the slide in support. And all these people now they invite pretty radical people into their life. Now, this is not going to please government employees that are furloughed. But an overwhelming majority of the American people say they're not impacted at all by the government shutdown, or will they be. But I think at some point though, the impast is going to have to I think with the president, I don't care how the president gets the money. If the President declares a national emergency, or if the President just says to the Pentagon he's the commander in chief and says to where we can't have ninety percent of heroin coming across these borders. It's a national emergency. We can't continue to allow human and drug trafficking at our borders. This has to stop. This is an issue of national defense. I'm sure they'll sue in California and then appeal to the Ninth Circuit and it's gonna take a long time. But if it's a national emergency, there ought to be a way to expedite the judicial process. Let's see. Oh, by the way, the woman congressman who called Trump that m effort that we're gonna impeach pictured with an activist who called people who are Jewish Zionist terrorists and says Israel has no right to exist. This is your this is your modern democratic party. People love you, and you win. And when your son looks at you and says, Mama, look you won, pullies don't win. And I said, baby talk, because we're gonna go in there. We're gonna impeach the mother. Yeah, that's how leave unbelievable. Then you have you know, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosia, I'm telling you the old guard Democratic even hard core liberals like Schumer and Pelosi are scared to death of the people that have just been elected in their own party. You know, we got a Costio Cortes announcing she'll vote to defund ICE, saying it is systematically violating human rights. Member Stacy Abrams ran for the gubernatorial seat in Georgia, now wants to run for the Senate. She says, it's perfectly okay if illegal immigrants start voting. You got to be kidding me. Then we've got as the head of the Financial Services Committee Maxie Waters literally threatening we will do to you what you did to us. Remember that. Now apparently she'll partner with a Costio Cortez. That's gonna be interesting to watch over time as well, because you know, we now know that Maxie Waters has taken the reins as one of the most powerful committees, and in an interview after they won, she said, the most important thing is we'll be able to base define who we are, what we care about, and the kinds of issues that we intend to be successful with or without the president, and perhaps with the new president in twenty twenty, banking industry has been benefiting from deregulation efforts under Trump. She basically has plans to undo everything the president has done, but she doesn't have the power to do it. But if they get to have House and Senate. When if they have the House and Senate one day and get the presidency, this would all happen. Got a newly elected Democratic congresswoman inviting the activists that wanted Israel eliminated to the swearing ceremony. Wow, swearing in ceremony. You know, think a comrade de Blasio of New York. Brothers and sisters, why didn't he just say comrades should have said comrades. Plenty of money in this city, it's just in the wrong hands. Millions of people in this city, tens of millions across the country are boxed into lives that just aren't working for them. You haven't been paid what you deserve for all the hard work, you haven't been given the time you deserve. You're not living the life you deserve. And here is the cold, hard truth. It's no accident. It's an agenda, an agenda that's dominated our politics, from Reaganomics to the Trump tax giveaway, to the wealthy incorporations. Here's the truth, Brothers and sisters. There's plenty of money in the world. There's plenty of money in this city. It's just in the wrong hands. Well how did Well, maybe if these ill gotten gains, the people cheat, steal, sell drugs to get that money. Most people, I know, they get money the old fashioned way. You work for it. So you basically saying it's in the wrong hands, give us your money, will redistribute it to this the group of people that will keep us in power indefinitely. Say goodbye to liberty, freedom, free markets. Well what did you want to say, Linda, Oh, I just wanted to renew my challenge to both build the Blasio and Cuomo. They should forfeit their salaries to the good people, their brothers and sisters, their comrades, their comrades, their friends, because clearly they haven't earned their money. I mean, I know, for damn sure build a Blasio hasn't, so I think he should just forfeit his salary the way our great president doesn't take a salary. And I think that they should give it up. And I think they should also give their homes over to eminent domain, and we should let all of the sanctuary. Well, he wants to take over apartments from people that, Oh, we should start with his and his children and his family. Let's start with your family first, let's test it out and see how it works, because I think it's going to go over fantastic. I think they should lead by example. Absolutely. Maybe they should adopt an illegal immigrant and they should let them live in their homes and leave all their doors unlocked and give up their salaries. It'll be fantastic. Well, maybe you're right. Maybe they could move out of their homes. Yeah, they should. They should live somewhere else because they don't they don't really deserve to live there, especially Cuomo Intoplasia. By the way, did you hear our friend David Webb? Oh, my god, best audio of the day. Let's play the audio. I have chosen across different parts of the media world, done the work so that I'm qualified to be in each one. I never considered my color the issue. I considered my qualifications the issue. Well, David, you know that that's a whole another long conversation about white privilege of things that you have the privilege of doing that people of color don't have the privilege of. How do I have the privilege of white privilege, David, by virtue of being a white male, you have white privilege with a whole long conversation. I don't have time. Ava. I hate to break it to you, but you should have been better prepped. I'm black, whoopsie Daisy, But but I love David the way he said it is you should have been better prepped. David's a great guy. All Right. We gotta take a quick break here, eight hundred nine for one, Seawan told free telephone number. You want to be a part of this extravaganza, all right, A lot of crown to get to. We'll have Hannity Watch on the deep State, Big breaking news tonight at nine on Hannity on the Fox News Channel. Also be joined by Jordan and Meadows. They have some news they're gonna be breaking as well. I think a lot of the names that we are talking about are going to be in deep trouble by this time tomorrow. We'll have Hannity Watched the latest on the government shutdown, Hannity Watch on the border, and Hannity Watch on socialism. And what did you think of that? Gillette ed We'll talk about that in our news roundup hour, much more straight ahead. We know Bruce or was giving information to the FBI. We know Christopher Steel was giving information FBI. We also learned David there was another source giving information directly to the FBI that dealt with the Russian investigation, so we felt that was important. There's some other good information we got on some other issues that again we hope this transcript will get out soon. So I mean the kind of information that the American people need to know, and they need to know it as soon as possible. So this was in my mind, maybe the most informative I think mart I would agree, the most informative and the best deposition we've we've had yet as far as learning new things that confirming, confirming some some concerns and suspicions we had for a long time. Lad, what Jim said is probably the most informative interview that we've had to date. You know, some of the things that will share more explosive in nature. I mean, I couldn't believe that I was hearing some of the testament here in the United States that the dj and FBI were involved with. Based on that without sharing details, we didn't learn one other thing, and that is is based on some testimony today. Some of the footnotes fis a footnotes that we're in the Democrat memo. We're inconsistent with the testimony we heard today, which would would shed light on perhaps the FBI knowing more about the potential bias and motivations behind no sharing information. So you you were in the deposition with James Baker the first one, and you're going to be with him this upcoming Thursday. What do you want to get from James Baker this week? Well, first of all, remember who this is. This is this is the FBI Chief Council. All kinds of things flow through him. So when he says that he believed Rod Rosenstein was serious about this, this out that this alleged statement about recording the president, you got to take that with the weight that it comes with because it's the it's the FBI Chief Council. So we're going to ask you more about that. We had our previous deposition was cut off early were we ran out of time, So we need him back in there where we're gonna ask more about that specific meeting that took place, and then his conversations with people who were in that meeting, how those went, and who all he talked to. So all those things need to be asked, and there's gonna be more big breaking news tonight, we'll be breaking in nine eastern on Hannity on the Fox News Channel. Now, that was Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows of the Freedom Caucus, and those were their comments after they had a behind closed door meeting an interview with James Baker. We now know James Baker is under criminal investigation. He was the chief council to Jim Comey's FBI, his DEPUTFPI director. We now know similarly, Andrew McCabe is under a criminal investigation. And I think with the news that is going to break tonight on the Fox News Channel, I think there's gonna be a lot of other people that are gonna be under a criminal investigation in pretty short order, assuming that the new Attorney General does their job, does his job, and joining us now to discuss this and much more, Jim Jordan of Ohio and Congressman Mark Meadows of North Carolina, welcome both of you to the program. Sean, great to be with you, Thanks so much. All right, So Baker is the chief council Comey's top attorney the FBI. He's under criminal investigation as his deputy FBI director. And I think after tonight we're going to find that a lot of these people are really in a lot of trouble. But let's go specifically to what did we learn in the Baker interview that you had behind closed doors? Just that Jim Baker, go ahead, Mark, No, go ahead, Jim. But Jim Baker is a subject of an investigation in the and by the US Attorney in Connecticut. That was news to us. There have been rumors of that, but he is the subject of an investigation. We sent a letter market I did earlier this week to mister Durham, the US Attorney in Connecticut, to find out what's going on here. We want to know. We think this is important information. So that's that's one of the big takeaways. And of course the other one was that Jim Baker was getting information from a Perkins Coupe lawyer, big Democrat lawyer who represents the Democrat party, Mark Zussman. And so those are two. When you got the Chief Council to the FBI who was the subject of an investigation and also who got information from the Democrats lawyer at Perkins Coue and took that information and gave it to the investigators at the FBI. And also the guy who's now pushing for this investigation to President Trump, I think that says a lot you said, and you're a joint letter together that we know the DOJ and FBI departed from traditional investigative and prosecutorial practices and insufficiently adhered to the Foreign Intelligence Service Act FISA. The committees learned that in some instances, high ranking DOJ FBI officials, including the FBI General Council James Baker, the DOJ Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Or, took the self described unusual step of inserting themselves into the evidentiary chain of custody. And during the course of our investigation, we interviewed the former FBI General Counsel Baker and discovered that your office is investigating him for unauthorized disclosures to the media, and you're asking for requests. Now I'm beginning to get wind of the possibility that there is full on evidence that everybody knew what became the bulk of this FISA application was fraudulent, and that they knew it was bought and paid for, and they used it then any way, never verifying, corroborating, and knowing its origins. That would mean anybody who signed off on a committed a conscious act of fraud against the FISA court. Wouldn't that be the case? Mark Meadows, Well, well, it is a case sewn. I think what we're seeing now is more and more information comes out. And Jim was exactly right. It's not only that you had the General Council for the FBI James Baker, getting information from a law firm that was representing the Democrat National Committee, but it was the way that they did it. I mean, even in those interviews, we found that James Baker, Bruce Orr they did things only in the investigation of this president that have never been done before. And so when you start to treat this president differently than all of the other Americans, you know that bias is creeping in. And what we're finding is the predicate to the investigation to the FISA application was not only fraudulently done, but it was fraudulently renewed over and over and over again when they knew that it was based on a dossier that was not only unproven, but parts of it were disproven. It's problematic. So wouldn't that mean that if now I don't know how you felt about the hearings, yesterday, I had some mixed emotions. I do believe this was a witch hunt from the beginning. I think there's a lot of evidence to show that. Now we now know that they literally conspired at a whole cloth the conspiracy, that the firing of James Comey was collusion with the President and Vladimir Putin without a shred of evidence of any anything, and that there was retribution pieces put in place, an insurance policy, media league strategy. This is after we now know that the FBI. What we really have here, if we're going to get to the bottom line, here, we have people that hated Donald Trump, all of them. And what we had is they worked together to rig the outcome of our twenty sixteen election. Fix the outcome of the twenty sixteen election, using their high positions to do so, and help Hillary Clinton get elected, help her survive legally when she clearly struck did justice and violated the Espionage Act, and then used her bought and paid for Russian lies to hurt Donald Trump as a candidate and then hurt him as a president, which is now gone on for two years. Sean, here's why I like to look at it. Who and when so the New York Times had their big story, their blockbuster story that they said on Friday, you gotta remember the who and the win. Who is the people we've been talking about Andy McCabe who's under investigation, Jim Baker, who's under investigation, and Lisa Page and Peter Struck, who we know what the bias and the animus they had against the president. Those are the who. Why aren't they under investigation? Yeah? They well maybe they will be and we don't. We don't know. But those are the who. And then when did this all happen? It happened in those critical eight days between May nine, twenty seventeen, when Jim Comey is fired. In May seventeen, twenty seventeen, when Robert Mueller is named Special counsel. Comey gets fired. Their best pal, Baker, McCabe, Struck and Page, their best pal, Jim Comey gets fired. And now they're saying, oh, wait a minute, we're going to launch an investigation into the press. We're going to talk. And Rod Rosenstein comes in that same week, and what does Rod Rosenstein do? This is what we also learned from Jim Baker's deposition. Rod Rosenstein threatens to where a wire to record the president and is talking about invoking the twenty fifth Amendment in removing the president from office. This is happening at the highest levels of our Department of Justice, highest levels of the FBI. And this is what is so scary and so dangerous. And it all happened in that critical eight days from people who way back the year before when they started this investigation, had this extreme bias against the president. And we know that because we've seen the page and struck text messages. That's who these people who had extreme bias. And two other people who were under investigation, Andy mccabin and Jim Baker and all by the way, two of those four people were also fired by the FBI. That is how bad it was. When did they know about the dossier? And what did they know about the dossier? Because I'm getting some information that may prove that everybody knew the dossier was fall from the get go. But that means then they consciously presented a fraud before the FIZO coort. What would that mean for everybody including Comey, Sally Yates, Rod Rosenstein and the rest of them that signed off on it if they knew that it was false and that Clinton paid for it, and they committed a clear fraud, a conscious fraud on the physocort. What would that mean for them? Well, I think that certainly you have the potential for criminal offenses at one case. But here's what you also have, Sean, and I think that this is what is so troubling. It's the bias that went from opening up the investigation to treating Donald Trump differently, the bias that was inherent there that even went further that once they said, well, we need to cut down this communication the way that we do that because Christopher Steele is no longer a legitimate source. So what did they do? They went around it to the DJ got Bruce or to actually perpetuate it. But then it didn't even in there, Sean, it went further. What we believe and what we have proof of, is that that bias continued to try to infiltrate every aspect of this investigation, including and not limited to the More investigation that's going on now. You can you can look at some of the things that were happening back then, and different individuals, certainly associated with the More investigation, are tainted by that same bias. It's just problematic let's talk about Bruce Or met with Christopher Steele in July thirty if they open the investigation Crossfire, Hurricane, the open investigation into President Trump at the end of July July thirty. First, we think people remember defies, it defies, it doesn't happen. The application doesn't happen until October. October twenty first, So Bruce Or is our Justice Department high officials already talking with Christopher Steele, the author of the Dothier clear back the same time, and it goes back even it goes later than that too, because remember the community occations between Christopher Steel and Bruce Or where Christopher Steele is desperately trying to funnel information to Robert Mueller through Bruce Or and Bruce Or seemingly based on the exchanges we've seen, wants to give Muller the information that Christopher Steele, who was fired for lying and leaking to Robert Mueller without it. I mean, we've got proved that you're exactly right. Prosperity cannot emerge from fear. Yeah, we have failed as cure our nations because members on both sides of the aisle have buried their heads in the sand over the last several decades talking instead of doing. Americans are weary of our opinions and ready to see us do the job we were sent here to do. This isn't about numbers or statistics. It's about people. It's about Jared Vargas, a vibrant young college student studying computer science with dreams of working in the cybersecurity field. His life was cut tragically short when he was brutally murdered by an illegal alien at San Antonio last June. Jared's mother, Laurie, his twin brother, and his younger sister don't care if I personally believe fences would be more effective than drones or vice versa. And they don't care if one of my colleagues believes that two and twenty eight homicide charges against illegal aliens in twenty eighteen not enough to justify a border wall. For them, one matters enough. The Vargas family does care that Jared's murderer had been an ice custody twice, had been arrested for a DWI and released just a month before he killed Jared. This current debate before us has a face. It has a name, and that name is Jared and his family wants justice for Jared, but it's also about the little girl who today will be exploited by drug cartels who know that sex trafficking can be more lucrative than trafficking drugs. It's all right, that's Chip Broyer, the Freedom Caucus. I wish I had more time to play more of that. We continue with Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows with us. All right, let's talk talk about the shutdown, what the answer is and our Democrats got a break from Nancy Pelosi. I'll give you a dollar, and what should the president do? Well? The President is staying strong, and he's doing that because he is not turning his back on the kind of people that Chip roy was just talking about and the other other aspect. Will Democrats eventually leave Nancy Pelosi? I believe they will. She is playing her cards all in a political manner, even today, suggesting that the President should be disinvited for the State of the Union address, which I find just unbelievable that she would make that recommendation. It's a political stunt, is something that shouldn't be accepted. But the President is staying strong. We applaud him in that. In the vast majority of Americans applaud him in staying. And by the way, the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service has said they are perfectly capable of protecting there as she tried to say it was about security. Jim, Yeah, no, you're you're exactly right. I mean, here we are. They won't even go show up at the White House when the President vites them to negotiate work on a solution to get our border secure and build the border security wall. And now we have the Speaker of the House not inviting the Commander in chief, the President of the United States of America, to give the State of the Union. This is what this is. The Democrats who are so focused on stopping the president instead of focusing on helping the country. And that speech at chip roy By the way, Sean, I'm glad you played at Chipbroys are the newest member of the Freedom Caucus, a great member of Congress who understand without stay here, well, without the Freedom Caucus, we have no representation will continue when you bring up an integrity issue, and it's interesting you and then the gentleman from Texas raised this in a way that almost you know approaches it is insulting answer. I'm gonna response to what I'm saying. I am here under oath. I am not lying. I have never lied under oath and I never will. And so the insinuation, not even the incident, the direct comment that you somehow say you have an intergrity issue is insulting. I take offense. It is incorrect nothing. I never heard you the personal life. I just simply said, the amount of time that you were spending on the taxpayer's dollar, wasting it when you were supposed to you on your job, texting back and forth, I have a problem, And that what I'm saying his head, the gentleman has already answered that. You say you've known Mueller a long time. Would you say you have a close relationship with mister Mueller. I would say we were good friends. Would you say that you understand him to be a fair minded person? Absolutely? Do you trust him to be fair to the president and the country as a whole. Yes. When his report comes to you, will you share it with us as much as possible, consistent with the regulations and the law. Yes. Do you believe mister Muller would be involved in a witch hunt against anybody? I don't. I don't believe mister Muller would would be involved in a witch hunt. Now. I know there were two things specifically that got some people nervous that we're watching the hearings yesterday William Barr by the way, twenty four now till the top of the hour, eight hundred nine four one. Shaun is on number you know, is when he said it's not a witch hunt, number one, and number two where he didn't go along or with the issue of locker up or didn't know much about the Uranian one deal. That would be a third issue that people were concerned about. Now the question is is he going to do his job because, as we went over in great detail last night, we now have two FBI two of the top FBI management echelon under James come under criminal investigation. We have his general counsel, James Baker, there's now a criminal investigation into him. Andrew McCabe, the deputy FBI director, he too is under a criminal investigation. By the way, there's John Uber is still looking out for the leak issue. That would mean Comy himself. He admitted he leaked as FBI memos about President Trump to the media. Visa v a close friend of his, a Columbia professor, and why but for the very purpose of getting his friend, Robert Muller and a special counsel appointed. Then the issue is, you know, of all the people, if you add into this page and Struck and Bruce or and Nelly or and Comy and McCabe and all of them, they have one thing in common. They in some cases they actually helped Hillary Clinton remain in the race by exonerating what were obvious crimes of obstruction. You don't believe she obstructed justice. Well, when you're you get a subpoena one day of your emails and you delete them all, and then you acid washer hard drive with bleach bit, and then you bust up your devices and rip out your SIM cards. I promise you you're gonna get arrested and charged and be found guilty of obstruction to justice. Never mind the Espionage Act, which forbids people from putting classified top secret information on a server, a private server. The case that she did that we all now believe at least six foreign intelligence agencies were able to hack into You know, we all know all these people hated hate Donald Trump, hated him, and still hate him. They all wanted Hillary to win in one case one hundred million zero. They all, now we know, worked in various ways to rig our political system in the lead up to the twenty sixteen election by using their positions to help one candidate, Hillary Clinton, get elected and to undermine the candidacy of another candidate. And then even Hillary Clinton talk about the Russia connection. We have one Boughton paid for Russian lies with funneled money from that she gave to a law firm that funneled to an op research group that hired a foreign national that used the Russian sources. And then they bring this, the bulk of information in four FISA warrant applications is the dirty Russian dossier of Hillary Clinton. They don't tell the court that she bought and paid for this. They don't tell the court that it's unverified and it's never been corroborated. As a matter of fact, most of it now has been debunked. And then one has to ask, is this abuse of power going to go on and happen and there'll be no repercussions, Because if that's the case, we don't have equal justice under the law. We have a duel. We don't. We have a dual justice system. One for the Clintons, one for the mccabees and Bakers and Comey's and Ribickis and the pages and structs of the world, and one for the rest of us. And I'm not even talking about Susan Rice and Samantha Powers and Clapper and Brennan anyway. John Sale is with US former federal prosecutor. He served in the ever prestigious Southern District of New York as and also served as an assistant special Watergate prosecutor. David Shona is with US Civil Liberties and Civil Rights criminal Attorney. Thank you both of being with us. John will start with you, what did you think of the hearings yesterday? Well, I thought he did very well, But I would sum it up in two words. His testimony. He said, trust me. That's those are my words. But and I think that he has earned dot trust. He's eminently qualified. Talking about mister Barr, of course, and he said he will let Mueller continue his work, and he said there'll be no political interference. But he made it very clear that he is ultimately the boss, that he's got responsibility. And Sean, I'll tell you what I think he's going to do. What I would do is I think once he gets in there and he'll be confirmed, and I think he'll get some Democrats to vote for him, and he'll come in and he'll say, I need to now get the facts. I think he'll call in Mueller and he'll ask him what's going on, what are you doing? How much time do you need? And I think mister Barr will say, if Mueller makes a good case, he'll say, Okay, come back to me every month. If he says, on the other hand, I don't think you need to drag this out anymore, he'll bring it to a close. But the bottom line is he's a private citizen. Now when he gets in there, he's going to take charge on one other thing. He's not going to recuse himself. Despite the fencing he did with Senator Harris. You can bet the farm that he's not recusing himself. Well, I don't think you should recuse himself. And you know the thing is is what really has frustrated me John throughout this process. We really do have Russian interference in the twenty sixteen election that we can prove, and nobody has shown any interest in this, and we do have examples of fiz abuse. We do have clear obstruction of justice. If you were still an attorney in the Southern District of New York and you painted my emails and I decided I was going to delete them, and I was going to clean my hard drive with bleach bit, and I was going to bust up my phone devices and pull out the SIM cards, would you think that you would charge me with obstruction of justice? Well, in my law practice, he is, I represent companies and individuals who get grand jury subpoenas for voluminous documents. First thing you do is you question them not to delete, not to mess with any of those emails. And if anything like that happened, you can bet that person or company would be indicted before you can stop your fingers and found guilty. And in a case like that, that's a slam dunk obstruction case, right absolutely, assuming all those things happened. And even if you have a great defense attorney like David shonan there, even David Shon couldn't get me out of that one. Could he? Oh it would be tough, maybe he could, But he's the only one who could. Yeah, I mean and this is the point. Now we have the top people around come under full criminal investigation. I think when all is said and done, if there's if there is equal justice, wouldn't that mean Paige Struck, Comey himself, Bruce or and a bunch of other people can be expected that they're going to be fully investigated on some of these criminal matters. This abusive power. What about all those people that signed off on a FISA application having never ever try even attempted to verify or corroborate its contents, never telling the FISA court judges that it was a political document bought and paid for by the other candidate. To me, that's a fraud on the court. I will, by the way, when I get in trouble for a fraud on the court. David Shone, Yeah, absolutely, listen. I think part of the problem right now is that all of the investigations of all of those people you just named, which all must go forward, should be under one umbrella. They're spread out now. You've got Durham on one case, you've got Huber on another case, and it sort of divide and conquer. I don't think that's the way to go about it. And furthermore, thanks to your show, you're starting to uncover even more facts. Just when you thought you had all of the dirty facts, these congressional hearings are showing now there was a so called verification file with Bragon file nobody knew about, nobody still knows about or has seen. Let's see, it's see what that looks like. The misconduct is unbelievable. There really was a cottage industry in stop Trump going on into Justice Department. We've never seen anything like this before. And when we see that about the investigation decision that was made after Comy fired, I hate to see this. I don't like to be overly dramatic. This is the closest in my lifetime I've seen to something that could be called a coup or at least well think about this, John, I mean Hillary's exoneration was written before the investigation. The Espionage Act is clear. You can't have in a mom and pop shop, bathroom closet server with top secret or classified information on it. She did have that there, and she lied about that. Then the whole deletion issue. Then she funnels money through a law firm into a research firm, hires a foreign national against Russian lies that she pays for. Now that those lies were leaked to the American people, doesn't that sound like she's trying to influence the America can people before a vote with Russian lies? It sounds like collusion in a way. And then, of course that information is the bulk of information is used as the basis for Faiziwaran applications, and these high ranking officials did nothing to verify it. I mean, would you ever present before any court something you didn't verify or corroborate or know to be true. Well, I mean, no officer of the court would do that knowingly. But I think everything you've just said should be the subject of a full, fair and complete investigation, just like Mueller is doing involving the president. But I want to emphasize the word fair, that the president is entitled to a fair investigation, and the ultimate decision, one of the decisions that the Attorney General bar will have to make, will be what happens to the report. And that's where I think the President, through his council and the White House Council, have a right to be heard, have a right to assert any objections, and have a right to respond to it. And I think what would be fair. He actually said as part of the Justice Department's policy that once these matters are finished, they usually don't make them public. He said that very clearly yesterday. Well, he said he's going to make as much public as he can, subject to the rules and regulations, and for example, grand jury material that is prohibited by Rule sixty. The Federals chroma procedure. There could be national security information. But I think again, you have to make a judgment. Everybody does. If you trust Bill Barr to do the right thing. What do you think of this whole thing where James Comey's fired and then you have these high ranking officials saying, oh, with no evidence at all, no probable cause, it even not a scintilla of evidence. They just decide, well, maybe the reason Comey was fired because he was doing Putin's bidding. They had already been investigating at that time nine months into so called Trump Prussia collusion and Lisa Page, Peter Struck James Comey. Mm cab all said they had nothing at that time. I agree. I agree with David, and I say this very cautiously. It almost is verging on a coup. The three thought of suggesting that the president, because if I had called me was acting and the Russia the putin spidding. My questions would be, what's the predicate for that, and who in the Department of Justice approved it? Now, something like that could not be done based upon at that level, who approved it and what was their agenda? And that is something that I think the American people allow to know. If that was true, Sean, why didn't they go immediately to the Joint chiefs and say the President is engaging in espionage? I mean, because there was no evidence of it. Because it's outrageous. That's the point. Glad. We give the last word here to our friend David shown. David, so not one of these reporters is the president? Are you a Russian agent or have you ever been believes in any way that the president ever has acted for Russia. And by the way, would so terrible if the president before he became president determined that he would like this country have better relationship with Russia. We've had we had the single worst foreign polity before this administration that we've ever had in the history of this country. There's a lot of repair work to be done, but through strength, that's the President's approach. I believe he was acting as an agent for Putin to Russia is absurd and it's irresponsible to the journalists even asked that question. All right, David Shone, John Saale, thank you both for being one of us. Eight hundred nine for one. Shaan is a toe free telephone number. We'll have a lot more on this tonight. Nineties. The big scam of the whole address was that there's a crisis. There's not a crisis. Nine one as Rod Street. Somebody's ever being in a red car? What is the overdocing on? I think Helen, my neighbor and her sister wrote overdosing a suspect in a series of brutal crimes is a gang member and illegal immigrant who's been deported four times. America's overdose crisisis worse than ever before because of the synthetic opioid fentyl. It is deadlier than a heroin overdose that we have almost doubled from this time last year. The synthetic opioid fentyl is causing carnage like America has never seen. Overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of fifty. Start out with this idea of crisis. The President use that word several times in the speech. Just because you say it's a crisis, George, doesn't necessarily make it one. For Suffolk County Police announcing the arrest of seventeen gang members after a series of violent incidents, including the massacre of four young men, If hare was the epidemic, Fitenal's the play and the plague is here processed by the way, it feels like a colossal waste of time, so he can deliver on a chant he began three years ago at some of his rallies. It's all about nothing. We have thousands of new aliens entering our country every day, and this surge of illegal immigrants flooding across our porous borders puts our nation at risks in more ways than one. In twenty seventeen alone, more than nine hundred Americans died every week from the opioid related crisis and overdoses every American. Everyone in this chamber knows personally someone who has been affected by this, being a family member, a friend, a co worker, a neighbor. Where the opioid crisis has penetrated into these lives and its advancement continues to march down the streets of our nation. And angel moms and dads that tried to meet with Nancy Pelosi, they were pushed aside and yesterday because Nancy didn't have time to meet them. The manufactured crisis, whether they lost their kids to a legal immigrants, most of whom were in the criminal justice system. And again, sanctuary state policies like Nancy state of California protect criminals from being handed over to Ice, where they would, therefore the law was enforced, be deported back to their home countries. Of course, it's a manufactured crisis. You want to tell that to the moms and dads that lost their kids to illegal immigrants. You want to tell that to the ten thousand plus the sexual assault victims or one hundred thousand assault victims and the homicide victims. I mean, it's unbelievable. Now ninety percent manufactured crisis, right, ninety percent of heroin, which now we do have an opioid crisis where we have literally one death every seven and a half minutes. We have one hundred and ninety two deaths on average every single day, over seventy two thousand deaths annually. And it's getting worse. It's to the point now where there was an article in CNBC yesterday that Americans are more likely to die from an opioid overdose today than a car accident. It often happens where, you know, kids, especially, they get a hold of percocet, vica den oxyconton. Maybe mom, dad, grandma, grandpa had some type of medical seure. They start taking the pain pills, they begin to light the pain pills, and they buy pain pills that are very expensive on the streets. Some cases, I hear it's as high as eighty bucks a pill. Then they can't afford it, and then one of their dumb genius friends, you know, said, oh, why don't you just try this. It's better. And it's heroin that's coming ninety percent of it from Mexico, a southern border. So it is a real crisis. You know. It's an honor to have on the program. I'm gonna tell you a story that you may not know about Michael Lindell. He's obviously an advertiser on this program. We love having him. My pillow is the best product I've ever had in terms of sleeping, and they have the new my pillow mattress topper, which I love. But what you might not know about Michael Lindell is ten years ago today. He was addicted to crack, cocaine and alcohol. It had gone on many, many years in his life, and he got clean and sober, totally clean and sober now the last ten years. He goes around the country and he gives a lot of talks about addiction and how to get out of addiction. The opioid recovery rate is extremely low. You've become addicted to heroine, your odds are about fifteen percent, some of the lowest odds of addiction. Anyway, Mike is with us today. How are you, sir? Ten years sober, clean and sober. Yeah, thanks for having me on. This is amazing. It's been amazing ten years. I'll tell you they told me where I'm at today. Ten years ago, I would have said, what, Well, let's talk about how deep your addiction was. When did you first start with drugs and how did you get addicted to crack? Well, the I'm going to take it back and now I know a lot more now than I did back then. And you know a lot of addictions, or I would say most come from These seeds are set in childhood and it can be a trauma, it can be a wound. Mine was. My parents divorced when I was seven years old, and I um, I ended up getting put into a new school. I was very had an unworthiness spirit, you know. Um I think fatherlessness nowadays leads to addiction. And anyway I was, I would either show off or I would be very shy. People don't know that they're got Michaelindale shy. Oh yeah, I was very shy, and I would do stuff like climb out bus windows to show off and jump, you know. And uh, then he got into you got into the eighties and I tried this drug. I mean I was twenty some years old, twenty two, twenty three. I drank before then, but all of a sudden I tried cocaine, and I'm going, wow, I can I can talk to people. It was this false courage and and I was a very functioning cocaine addict. I even had a barm some bars. Small town bar is not a good place for an addict. But this went on through the nineties and then I switched to crack. And now when the crack came, you know, let me let me slow you down a little bit. So you're you're in your early twenty and you had alcohol. Did you have a small pot for example or not? You weren't. That wasn't okay. So you drank alcohol, and then you you try powder cocaine, And how quickly did you become addicted? Like the first line, I mean it was it was it was you liked it that changed you that quickly, all right? So yeah, and then they explain the process, like did you have to have it the next day? Did you know cocaine? Cocaine? And and uh and every drug has its own uh when I do my talks now on stuff, you know, every drug has its own downfalls and and and things that you like about it. But cocaine, it was it was like it just made me more, you know, more more talkative, more boisterous. I thought I could interact more, I was accepted more I could I could hide it good and and I could say it was a very functioning at it. There wasn't a big craving to get more. You just wanted it because it would change my change me into this false curve. How soon after you tried it the first time, were you using it every day. Oh, that would probably you probably you would go on. You got into you know a couple three two, three years or whatever, and they and we're then it became not I'd say every day. You might do it three four days in a row, and then you wouldn't do it for two days or three days. You know, you have this regret and it be it would be a cycle. Right, And when did you first then try crack cocaine? How did that happen? Crack? You know? I've still I've tried. There was a friend of mine came down from up north. I was in Minnesota here and after the bars were closed, we'd always go over to my friend's house and and it came to our town. Crackhead and I and you make you with when you make cocaine, you have to have baking soda. It's cooked as a process and changes it into a different drug, which is called crack. Well, my friend was down and I said watch this, and I put out these lines of cocaine, and these guys were grabbing their lines and going into their bedrooms and hiding out, um like, and they wouldn't come out for like twenty thirty minutes. It's a very paranoid. They would go cook it and smoke it. And then you're very paranoid. Anybody that's gonna crack. You stare out windows. You don't even know what's out there. It's it's horrific. Well, I told my friend, I said, look what's happened here in our town, you know, with these guys. And I said, boy, we're never gonna let this happen to us. We made a pack ended up being the worst two right there. In other words, we're never gonna cook the cocaine and all right, So then you do you first hit a crack and I've actually, you know, watch documentaries and people say that first hit, they were addicted that from that second on um with crack with crack Sean, it's it's if you get by, it's the it's the second hit. If you dip that first hit, either you're hooked or or or it uh you quit because it scares you. It so it could be so something you've never felt before. You get to that second one. You do a second one and do it the second time, and I'd say ninety some percent of people it's over. Even my dealers back down, they heard that I had small crack, and they just they looked at me. They're going, you know what, You're never going to be able to get off it. You're never going to be able to go back to soft cocaine. And I'm looking at them, but what are you talking about? And and that particular drug it turns on you. It gives you all. You know, you could all of a sudden you could eat on it, and you could you could go to bed on it, and then uh, you get and all of it, and then all of a sudden it changes. It's like uh they called the Devil's candy. It just turns on you and then uh, you can't to be able to function on crack. That's you know, like I had bars, then any of the crack smokers would be at home staring out windows and looking through peepholes, and it's a it's horrific. It's how many years were you addicted to crack? From two thousand right around two thousand and then, like you say, ten years ago today, I quit everything on January sixty and two thousand and nine. So one of the things, you know, when I invented my pillow, I was still a full blown attic and they but I put all my I put all my kind of my energies that you know, my self worth. I had a very low self worth. And you can't get rejected if you don't talk to people. And and uh, well I would I would not when I dove in to invent the pillow. Um it took you know a little over a year. And then once I got invented were interesting enough? We did it was turned down everywhere, and we did a kiosk and said, Mike, why don't you do a kiosk? Well, I couldn't sell to the people there because I couldn't. I'd be all paranoid. And so my wife at the time, she would uh. She worked those days and we borrowed our last time. We didn't have anything left to do that money for the chios and we had four kids and and uh, I was there one day and this guy bought a pillow from me and he said, do you have a business card? I said, oh, I'm all out, and I wrote it on a piece of paper. I didn't even know who one was. And uh heuh, but that guy called me in January by a divine appointment. He called me up and he said, you the guy that invented this pillow and I said it, I said, Minnesota. He says yeah. He said, well it changed my life. And he said, I run the Miniapolis Home and Garden show. Would you like to do a show there? I'd love to have the product. It's the best product I ever tried. So I said sure, and I went in there. I had to. I think they had to borrow money from friends or whatever just to get the booth money. And but one thing happened where I put a table up between me and the people and I could actually talk to them without being on drugs. And if I stepped out to go, I smoked back into If I stepped outside to go with a cigarette, someone came out to me, I go, oh, I gotta go, I gotta go. I was very you know, I couldn't deal with but with people. I have a couple more questions we're gonna ask you, Michael and Dell with us, of course, with my pillow dot com telling his story ten years now sober and how he recovered from this we'll get to next.

And as we contindue Mike Glendell, the inventor of My pillow, of course, ten years now clean and sober, was addicted to crack cocaine at the worst part of your addiction. How much how many hits a crack were you doing a day? Oh? I was doing it daily. You know, I have a couple of hundred dollars a day. Easy. It got to the point the drug dealers did an intervention. I mean I was up for fourteen days and they'd staged this intervention. I said. It was downtown Minneapolis, and I go, what are you guys doing? And they go, we're cutting you off. You've been up fourteen days. And I would finally go last when I went to sleep, I went down to the streets in Minneapolis and two o'clock in the morning and nobody would sell me crack. Came back upstairs and the one guy sitting up he says, you know what, he says, give me that phone. I'm gonna take your picture. He said, you've been prominence for a year, promising us for years. This pillow is just a platform for God, and you're going to come back some day and help us all get out of this addiction. And you're gonna quit and you're uh. He says, We're not going to let you die on us. And that guy works me for me today to this day. Your former drug dealer works for you. Um. Two of them doing how did you when did you make a decision and how did you get off this? Because a lot of people can't get off this stuff? Yeah? You know it was mine was that It was January sixteen, two thou nine, ten years ago today, and I knew if I waited one more day, um, this my calling would be gone, my purpose that got a planned for me. And I prayed that I would wake up in the morning and never had the desire again. And I did. I woke up the next morning never you know, the desire was gone. But then a couple months later, I actually went to a faith based outpatient at my sister's church and I walked in there. I've been in different treatment centers throughout the eighties and ninety but I walked in there and it was different. They said, we're not here to talk about how much she did, we want to talk about your childhood. We want to talk about you know what, I said, I had a fine childhood and and I said, well I was divorced, and they said, let's talk about that. And things happen in childhood from followlessness, divorce, trauma, like veterans come back and they've been traumatizing. This is people they manifest into addictions and that, well, we'll pick it up right there, we'll go, We'll hold you over a couple of minutes. On the other side, and maybe some people that are struggling, and even today that are listening to this program, there is there's plenty of help out there. It's a matter of making the right decision for yourself and getting your life together. Eight hundred nine pould One shown more with Michael Lindell on the other side than they rest of the news of the day, news round up, Information overload hour. You know, in the midst of all the whining from the left, and you know, all the battles that we have, you have to wonder, you know, why didn't war Old would anyone act this way? My guess is that probably most people are cranky all right, twenty five down till the top of the hour, ten years clean and sober. Michael Lindelo's with us. You know him, of course from my pillow dot com and the best pillow ever made and my pillow Mattress Topper now which is selling out, like I hear every day. And it's an incredible story because ten years ago he was addicted to crack, cocaine and alcohol. But I didn't want to cut you short here and just some final thoughts. How did you get clean and sober that day? Which was January sixteenth, two thousand and nine. How did you do it? Well? It was I'm gonna spend this a little political too, sean to I got out of it. It was a faith based treatment center. And let me tell you right now, I'm gonna throw in something here. The Democrats could be should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. I know where these drugs are coming from. They're killing people. I was just with the President a few months ago signing this amazing eight hundred page opiated bill. And I'll tell you what now, all these empty treatment centers that are faith based, Salbish and Army and team challenge the best places to get help in the country. And there's a lot more too, that I have betted. But we need to stop the opius from coming in and then help the people that are here. It's like playing Russian Roulette every day with it. But I bet you know many addicts from your time doing drugs for such a long period of time that died, didn't you didn't you know people that died from this. It's gotten way worse now. I know some people and I can't. I don't even want to say on the phone very close to me that just died within the last year of opiates. I hear it all the time I speak out. I was I was in Texas thirty thousand millennials and in Minnesota here fifty thousand millennials. This epidemic is they It's so how did you quit that? How did you do? What? What's so impossible? For so many others Once you get addicted, well with God everything, how things are possible. But you need to get help in the faith based treatment centers and you need to people. They need hope. Sean too, you know they need hope, And you know, I hope my story brings a lot of people hope out there. But what I'm doing right now, my Lindo Recovery Network that I'm gonna launch in about three to four weeks. I have all these stories I've gathered of people from around the country that have made it through. So you're gonna put in your age and your addiction, and all the stories your age and what you're addicted to come down so you you trust that hope because you're more of a match. And then I'm gonna have all the centers over here that you can go get help to that I have vetted. And when you get out, I'm gonna tell the tell the public, I'm gonna be there for you. I'm gonna have paid mentors all over the country that so they're not so we're gonna follow them right from start to finish. And but if you're out there right now and you're an addict, go to the Salvation Army or Team Challenge Salvation Army. They're donor base. You're going. You don't need a Rule twenty five. You don't need. You can walk in there. You don't. It doesn't have money. It's like a rope over your head and you're gonna get the help you need. And I can't say that enough of how they're the best thing, best centers in the world and a lot of them are fifty percent occupancy because the UM and you need to you need to have a rock when you get out of there. And that's God, all right, MICHAELN. Delf phenomenal story. UM. And look what you know, it's possible, and you know for some people, and you can do it before you lose your life, before your kid loses their life. Everybody is worth hope and opportunity to get better. Um. And it's such an insidious evil that takes over literally the soul uh, and the minds and the hearts of people and destroys lives and kills them. Uh. Michael Lindell, thanks for sharing that story. Congratulations on ten years being clean and sober. The I've saw the picture you put up on Twitter. I mean it's unbelievable. Uh. You're a lot more handsome today uh than than what you are looking like back in the day. But we appreciate you sharing that story with us, and we h we hope all these people, people that you're trying to help, can get help. If we can ever help you in any way, let us know say honor to be on your shore. You're doing great work. And God bless everyone in the country, and let's get let's get united and get that wall up. Now, well, ninety percent of heroin from their good point, Mike Lindell my pillow dot com over, that's a success story. Now. The problem is that is only if you're addicted to opioids, and now with this new fentanylum that they're putting in these drugs purposefully to make it even stronger. Problem with fentanyl's people that even you know, hardcore addicts are dying from it, that have a high tolerance for the stuff. They've been doing it for years. And nobody knows what's in any of these drugs when you buy them. You know, We've had my friend, you know, Eric Bowling on the program and his son Chase, you know, bought a Zanex, didn't know it was laced with fentanyl, and he died with one one Zanex pill. I mean, And it can happen to you, and it can happen to your kids, no matter how many times you talk to them. It's one of the scariest things just you know that's going on out there. But of course it's a manufactured crisis. Okay, we have more Americans now likely to die from an opioid overdose than a car accident, you know, opioids, car crashes falling. The odds are dying in the US. The odds are dying now the highest opioids and it's happening every seven point five minutes another death, you know, nearly two hundred deaths a day, over seventy two thousand annually. I mean, these are real lives, real people all over the entire country. And these drugs are being fed to our kids at you know, a ten dollars bag of heroin and that's it. If you watch any of these programs Drugs inc. Or Trade, they'll they talk to the drug dealers. They drug dealers know you do it once they own you. They absolutely know it because they've seen it. And you can't stop on your own, certainly. And these treatment centers are there. Pretty scary times we live in anyway, News round up information overload hour. By the way, nobody in the news ever talks about any of the good news. Volkswagen is spending what eight hundred million dollars in Chattanooga, Tennessee on a plant that they have there and new investment, a thousand new jobs who are going to be in Chattanooga. We have long term optimism in terms of the economy continuing to rise. Long term investor optimism is up late ast Ubs Investor Watch Pulse poll seventy one percent of more optimistic about the ten year economic outlook than they were just two months ago when it hit a high then of sixty eight percent. Seventy eight percent believe the economy's fundamentals are strong. Seventy five percent said they expect to reach their long term goals. And we mentioned this earlier in the program. We have this Gillette ad that is out there. It is massive, the backlash on social media and the uproar of so many people that have seen this dollar shave Club dollars exactly. I've watched this. You know it's I don't want to get into all those specifics. There are these brutish guys. You look, we know you can handle yourself. I'm sorry, are you looking at me? I'm looking at you. And you know these guys in New York, for example, the Old Classic is a bunch of construction guys eating lunch. Pretty girl walks by and they get whistled at. I love that. I'm like, thank you for paying attention. I didn't get dressed up for myself. Thank you for noticing a woman or a man says I look nice, I say thank you. But it's different. This is a different error. Now there's brutish behavior, you know, guys touching women inappropriately. Then it goes all the way into the you know Weinstein category abusing power to seduce people or even force people into sexual acts. You know, so the fine lines. The problem with the ad is why would they make that ad because they know they're gonna piss off people. Okay, not every guy is like a stereotypical you know male Chauvin his pig. And and then there's one scene in particular where one guy and they want men to confront each other over when they see you know, one scene where a guy's looking at a woman and like, wow, she's really pretty and he goes stop that. You know, men and women do like each other. Men and women do want to meet other men and women and men and women. You know, I always believe that there's somebody for everybody, and men and women are attracted to each other. It doesn't have to be brutish or piggish, or it could be nice and kind and hi and how are you, And You're right, men do notice that women are attractive. I'm sure women notice if they think men are attractive, don't They has to be some attractions meeting for the backlash. It's like ridiculous, Like I see women walk down the street all the time oggling men saying inappropriate things. I don't see them making commercials about that. They don't. Ever, that's never happened to me, happens to you all that. It does not happen all the time. I've been on the road with you, and I've watched it happen. Okay, I walk the streets of New York. It's because you're oblivious does not mean it's not happening. They're two very different things. You're creating an image that is false. I am an extremely aware person. Is not to that. I've never gotten whistled at. Yes you have. No, I have been there. I would tell you if I did. No, you wouldn't because you're oblivious. You're not paying attention to that. You're looking at your phone, you're reading an article, you're talking to somebody else, and so and so is behind you going, oh my god, shohn Anny, it looks so much in your life and oh, I got it, you're so heave your show. You look younger, taller, and skinnier in persons. We all know, and short on the camera adds ten pounds. We all know that that's absolutely listen, right, So when it's a person and you're all sweet and nice and you sign everybody's hats and shirts and letters and books, you know, there's a simple rule. And you can't go over every situation, but I think there's a simple, basic, fundamental rule. Be nice. You would want your own daughter, how would you want her treated, How would you want your sister or your mother treated? You would want them treated with the respect that they deserve. And it's okay. If men are attracted to women, they are. It's a fact women are attracted to men. You don't have to go over there, you're really hut and address so you know, you'd sound like an idiot. And I think that there was it was a stereotype of that that's how men are. And I think that has actually really pissed off a lot of their customer base because it was, oh, this is how men are. That's not how every man is. There are respectful men out there that respect women, treat them kindly. Actually, I know guys that just worship women. Listen, there's good in bed in every group, men, women, every race, every creed, every gender. We all got problems. Somebody told me about this show I haven't seen it on AM Bravo about some guy named John, and he's a serial. Have you seen the Kylie put your MinC up? So apparently this guy is a serial hoodwinker, manipulator of women, right, he is. The programs called Dirty John's Dirty Jar True story. And this guy like praise on women, praise on women, says all the right things, has them fall in love with him, right, and it's been married many times, yes, married many times long since of criminal record, throughout many differences. So what happens He puts a full court press of charm on, gets these women that are rich to marry him, yes, and then gets their money, and then gets their money, usually abusing them. It ended well, I don't want to spoil it for our listeners. No spoiler alert here, Go ahead, you can spoil it. But so he ends up murdering or trying to attacking one of her daughters, and she ends up fighting him off in a parking lot, and she actually ends up killing him, you know. But it's another thing too, what happens on these social dating sites. Mark Simone, who is who's filding on this program many times on an affiliate here in New York WRU, he uses and I think he talks about it on the air. I don't want to disclose something that's not true, Linda, you'll know better than me. But he uses what he uses those dating apps, right, or at least when we was at a Christmas party we were talking about I would definitely call him Markham a social butterfly. Okay, Mark is a and doesn't want to get married, no interest in marriage. Okay, But you have these dating apps and the only you put your picture up there. I've never done this, Okay, I've never have done it either. But you put your picture up and somebody can like your picture, or you can like somebody else's picture. Then the person knows that you liked, that you like their picture, if they like you back, then apparently you you just meet strangers, and that's how people do it. And now, if you think about it, it's based entirely on looks. Whatever the picture is, you're attracted to that picture. Oh, it's definitely personality. You can tell a lot from a person, can tell a lot. Yeah, just a picture, what a crock um. I think the biggest selling point is when you say major Sean Hannity fan. Then you get all those likes from everyone. You're such a liar. Everyone's on top of you. Why are you all that? Why are you bothering me with all this stuff? But I do think but to me, that's pretty dangerous because it's you don't know who this person is. You don't know anything about that person. I guess you can meet it in a public place, me get pizza, get a cop a coffee, get a drink, whatever, But you're meeting somebody that you know nothing about. They can say anything about themselves and nobody knows if it's true. So I think those apps are pretty dangerous. From my mind, is when you're meeting a bar. Though the meeting at bar. A guy says his name is Jim, his name is Greg. He says he works at City Bank, he works at McDonald's. He says he's not married, he's married with three kids. And some of the apps are just known specifically as hook up apps that if you you're on that, but that's a different agenda. Okay, So in other words, I think you're pretty and I want to sleep with you. I think you're cute, I want to sleep with you. Boom, and that's what they go do. I would guess I know nothing about this. You're you're lying. Why did you say that with a smile on your face? Oh, you're right, Sean, I'm sorry, I'm actually are you very savvy and obviously, but that's what they have in these To me, that's dangerous too. All right, It was great that Michael Lindell, What a what an incredible story he has, all right, Hannity Tonight, nine eastern on the Fox News Channel, Big breaking news as it relates to Fiza.
