Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, glad you with us two hundred and eighty
eight days. Doesn't matter what these corrupt, abusively biased, psychotic,
rage filled hate Trump mob and the media and the
Democrats do when we know how this is all gonna end.
That's the bottom line. And I am I am really

(00:21):
angry at some week Republican senators because this, you know,
John Cordnan even said it himself and David Purdue, the
House managers should proceed with the evidence they used to
impeach Trump in the House and stop demanding that the
Senate take on their constitutional role. They are given in
the US Constitution the sole power to impeach the president

(00:46):
and others officers, judges, etc. That's their role. The Senate's
sole role is to listen via trial to the evidence
that led to their vote to impeach they have now impeached.
Now the trial and the Senate, and I think Cornin
was right, the case is just so pathetically weak. Now

(01:09):
they're trying to ratchet up all this pressure on everybody
else to do the job they themselves can't do, or
they just want endless, never ending impeachments of Donald Trump.
I mean, either present your evidence. You know they have
their rock solid case, as Jerry Nadler said, But if
the House isn't prepared to go forward with their rock

(01:30):
solid case and their evidence with all their urgency and
blame the Senate and get the Senate to bring on
the bringing the guests or the people they want to
interview that they didn't even call, because that's going to
be resolved. The whole issue of executive privilege and witnesses
really ticks me off because that's not the Senate's constitutional role.

(01:54):
That role would be in the impeachment process. They've impeached him,
and if they don't, don't think they have a good case.
If they're not prepared to bring their case forward, if
they're trying, their only argument is too, well, we found
new evidence. Okay, what's the new evidence. Well, if you
read what they sent over less parness, the guy that's

(02:15):
under indictment in the Southern District of New York federal indictment,
let's see, oh, campaign finance violations one two allegedly gets
a million dollars from of all places, Russia didn't want
to report that payment to him. It is okay, that's
the best you got. And then you reach Schiff and
his letter to the Senate about partness and the new

(02:37):
evidence that they have. But Joe Biden is so innocent,
and it was really the prosecutor that Joe Biden demanded
leveraging blackmailing the Ukrainian government with a billion dollars in
tax money. You're not getting the billion unless you fire
the prosecutor. What was the prosecutor doing that was so corrupt?
Investigating the payment of millions of dollars to zero experience Hunter. Yeah,

(02:59):
they have to forge get that whole part, which is
infuriating to me because the lack of fundamental common sense
reason fairness. The same standards are not applied on anything,
whether it be about h a Russian election interference, well
except if it's Hillary's dirty Russian dosier likely Russian misinformation.

(03:22):
From the get go, we don't care about that. Russia, Russia,
Russia was only about Trump Russia. It is an affront
to our constitution. It is we are bastardizing and shredding it.
This These senators, these Republicans, ought not legitimize this, and
they feel this compulsion. They want to be liked, they

(03:46):
want to appear fair, They don't want to take tough votes.
They so they're gonna bend over backwards to prove that
they're fair. Why the Democrats are not fair? Look at
what your constitutional role is and do that they impeach
the president. Okay, now the managers have been selected. Okay,

(04:06):
now everybody's sworn in. Okay, make your case, and I
guess if you're going to be stupid and then you
feel a compelled to bring in other guests, you better
be very careful on the issue of executive privilege because
this transcends anything to do with Donald Trump. You know,

(04:27):
President Trump invoked executive privilege. You look at the history
of that presidential power and it goes back to the
very beginning and one of the you know, George Washington
invoked it. Dwight Eisenhower named it, Richard Nixon abused it.
But if a president and future presidents don't have the

(04:49):
ability to speak freely and get advice pure, unadulterated raw
advice from especially nationals, national security concerns, nobody's ever going
to want to talk freely to any president. You know.
The definition actually comes back from Mark Roselli, authored two

(05:09):
books of executive privilege, founder founding dean of the Shar
School of policy and government. George Mason University defined executive
privilege in a ninety eight Minnesota Law Review article as
the right of the President and high level executive branch
officers to withhold information from Congress, to courts, and ultimately
the public when it comes to one certain national security

(05:34):
needs in two, protecting the privacy of White House deliberations
when it is in the public interest to do so.
It is not in the US Constitution. It is considered
an implied power based on the separation of powers laid
out an Article two, which has meant to make sure
that one branch of government doesn't become all powerful. Executive

(05:55):
privilege is one of the ways that one way the
legislative branch's power over the executive is limited. We only
have one commander in chief, not five hundred and thirty
five commanders in chief. Congress investigating George W. Bush's firing
of eight US attorneys two thousand and six, White House
Council Fred Fielding alluding to executive privilege in a letter

(06:17):
referencing the constitutional law they called it in their particular cases.
They agree and they disagree, but the bottom line is,
you need this any reasonable complicated organization, you need a
place where people can discuss what they're going to do,

(06:38):
especially on national security, with confidentiality. That's it. It really
is that simple. And if you want to go back
to when it was first invoked, well you go back
to George Washington. He claimed it in seventeen ninety two
when Congress asked him to turn over documents related to
an unsuccessful military operation involving Native Americans. Oh you look

(07:02):
at that. Thomas Jefferson once wrote that, after conferring with
his cabinet members, Washington believe the executive to be able
to communicate such powers as the public good would permit
an ought to refuse those the disclosure of which would
injure the public. That's what it is. It's really simple.
It has been you know, it is involved somewhat, but

(07:24):
but it remains the same now in terms of what
is happening here. Every American we got to watch these
two big issues. One the fight over executive privilege. President
has a right to seek remedy. That's why the whole
second article of impeachment is absurd. Well, you said you're
going to invoke executive privilege. Therefore, my point is you're

(07:47):
obstructing Congress. No, because the President, rightly, when there's a
conflict between the executive legislative branch, sought remedy from where
that would be from, yes, the third branch government, the
judicial branch of government. And so now the House of Representatives,
they've done their job. Now they have their managers, Now

(08:09):
their impeachment managers can move forward. The only fact witness
they ever found was Ambassador Selling. Another fact witness that
never got called that should have been called, well, that
would be the congenital liar, corrupt and compromised as he is,
Adam Ship who's leading this shift sham show. Now in
the Senate, the executive summary of the President's defense team

(08:32):
just nailed it. They said, this is you know, these
articles of impeachment are an affront to the Constitution of
the United States. It's an affront to our democratic institutions.
The articles themselves, the rigged process that brought them to
where we are, are a brazenly political act by House Democrats,

(08:54):
and it must be rejected. And to some of you
weak and wobbly Senate republic Plians, do not offer legitimacy
into this corrupt process. That's what they're trying to get
you to do. They're trying to get you to take
on their role, which is solely their role defined in
the Constitution. I like how they write in the executive Summary.

(09:17):
They debase the grave power of impeachment and disdain the
solemn responsibility that that power entails. Anyone having the most
basic respect for the sovereign will of the American people
should shudder at the enormity of casting a vote to
peach impeach a duly elected president. By the way, supposed

(09:39):
to be bipartisan. Yeah, that's never happened before. There's a
purely partisan act. You know, the jeering, the signing ceremony,
the pens, the pictures. I mean, the whole thing is repulsive.
You know, they focus group all the varying charges and
they settle on, okay, well two things with two articles. Well,

(09:59):
the problem with what they've settled on here is is
not a single article they don't identify any impeachable offense bribery,
high crimes, misdemeanors, abuse of power is not an impeachable offense.
And that their theory about abuse of powers so plants
the standard high crimes, misdemeanors and briberies and a made

(10:20):
up theory and the House and the president's attorneys are right,
that would permanently weaken the presidency. It would effectively permit
impeachments based on mere political and policy disagreements. And by
limiting impeachment to cases of treason, bribery, or other high

(10:41):
crimes and misdemeanors, the Framers restricted impeachment to very specific
offenses against already known an established law. I've been arguing,
no one seems to want to listen to me that
when the President said, do us a favor, Yeah, I
want you to look into this. You know what involvement
did you have? A Ukrainian court determined that, in fact,

(11:06):
Ukraine interfered in the twenty sixteen election. Well, that's a
big deal. Do us a favor, not do me a
do us meaning both countries. Can you get to the
bottom of this, Well, that would be important to get
to the bottom of. By the way, you don't have
to take my word for it. Look at the liberal
media and you have the political article January eleventh, twenty seventeen,

(11:28):
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire. And you watched the
mob and the media to say, well, they're trying to
say that Russia didn't do it, that really was Ukraine. No,
I do believe Russia tried to interfere in our elections,
as was worn by Devin Nunas in twenty fourteen, but
that doesn't mean Ukraine didn't also, and well, Ukrainian Court

(11:50):
and Politico in January of twenty seventeen told us they did.
That Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the
President elect Trump after quietly working to boost Hillary. Oh,
they were trying to influence our elections. That's what politicos saying.
That's what the Ukraine Court said, Separate and apart from
any interference Russia was involved in and Poorshiko's administration, along

(12:14):
with Ukrainian embassy in Washington, insist they stayed neutral. The
problem is the article goes on to chronicle exactly what
they did. How Ukrainian government officials I'm reading verbatim, tried
to help Hillary Clinton undermine Trump by publicly questioning his
fitness for office, also disseminating documents implicating a top Trump
aid in corruption and meeting mana for it, I would assume,

(12:37):
and suggested that they were investigating the matter, only to
back away after the election. They helped Hillary Clinton's allies
research damaging information on Trump and his advisers. A political
investigation found a Ukrainian American operative who was consulting for
the DNC. Oh, they're colluding, met with top officials in
the Ukrainian embassy in Washington in an effort to expose

(13:00):
ties between Trump, Manaport Russia. Ukrainian efforts had an impact
in the twenty sixteen race, helping to force Manaport's resignation,
advancing the narrative the Trump's campaign was deeply connected to
Ukraine's foe to the east Russia. The mob is saying, well,
it's a conspiracy theory. Well, then talk to Politico all
through that article now works at the New York Times. Wow,

(13:23):
I don't want to. I'm sure they regret writing the
truth for one time in their life. This whole abuse
of how power article is not an impeachable offense. It
is not. It is not there, just like the soul
power to impeach. That is the role, the sole role
of the House, trial, sole role of the Senate. Now

(13:44):
the House managers present your case or withdraw them. You
know this theory that a president can be impeached for
taking permissible actions, or I've been arguing rightfully, the president
asking both about election an interference and the president asking
about Joe on tape. You're not getting the billion unless

(14:08):
you fire the prosecutor who is investigating my zero experience
son who's being paid millions. That would be faithfully executing
laws because on the surface, well, we have identified through
our legal team numerous laws that we strongly believe would
apply in that particular case. You know that the idea

(14:28):
of obstruction, that's not an impeachable offense. When there is
a conflict between branches executive and legislative branch, Yes, that
third branch of government, you're allowed to seek remedy. Seeking
remedy is what the President's supposed to do. You know, well,
the President lack lawful cause or excuse to resist House

(14:52):
Democrats subpoenas well. They never ended up calling these witnesses
Number one. They decided it was too urgent, they needed
to move forward because the House knew that it wouldn't
be until June when we get a decision from the
Supreme Court. It's that simple, and defending separation of powers

(15:13):
is not an impeachable offense. We'll continue. I'm gonna explain
more of this on the other side, and what's going
to happen this week, all right, glad you with us
twenty five to the top of the hour. It is,
if this was such a rock solid case, this impeachment,
why would the Democrats be needing anything other than what
they've found. The fact is it is not. It is

(15:36):
an admission they know it's not now for the president.
And this is where the Usue of witnesses an executive privilege.
This is where your Republican senators need to not add
any legitimacy to the shift sham show that we've watched,
because this is an affront to the Constitution of the

(15:58):
United States and to our democratic institutions. It is you know,
if you look at the bottom line to all of this,
there's no crime even alleged here, There is no It
doesn't meet the constitutional standard. You know, the House impeachment

(16:19):
manager has been called out for making a bogus bribery charge.
You know, you have let's see their manager's named Jason Crowe,
accusing Trump on Sunday of attempting to commit bribery and
his dealings with Ukraine. But when I asked, it was
not one of the articles of impeachment. Y. Yeah. Specifically,

(16:39):
he did attempt to bribe Corp as a barign government official,
in this case the president of Ukraine. The only one
that did that was Joe. You're not getting the billion. Now,
I'll give you the billion if you do what I want.
Fire the prosecutor investigating my son. You want to know
why this whole Parnass argument is total bs because when

(17:02):
the shift Sham congenital liar compromise congenital liars sent over
the new evidence, he declared the Biden's innocent, but it
was the prosecutor corrupt all of this. You know, well,
why wasn't this an article? Well, you know, we have
to look at the entire context of what happened here.
That's what this is about. This is about abuse of power.
Oh so there is no specific crime here that is

(17:26):
at the end of it. Now, Gallup is even saying,
and they're polled, majority of Americans want the Senate to
acquit the president. This is now, by the time these
whatever weeks are over, the country is gonna have had
it with all of this, because this is all they've
given this country now for three long solid years and

(17:47):
it's interesting and kind of fascinating to me watching Team
Biden going as far as they am and are in
terms of damage control, because if Hunter is brought in
to testify about the millions he was paid for zero experience,
they've got a problem. Biden isn't taking any chances. He's

(18:07):
launched a damage control campaign to contain the fallout from
anything Hunter might be forced to confess to. Under oath,
Team Biden has gone as far as to issue a
direct order to their you know friends that basically the
press organization for all things radical democratic, socialist, any media

(18:27):
organization referencing reporting on repeating these claims from Trump and
his allies must state clearly and unambiguously that they have
been discredited and debunked by authoritative sources. No, they haven't.
We don't need The only authoritative source we have are
the words of Joe and the words of Hunter, because

(18:47):
they're damning on both sides of it. Said I'm not
going to We're not going to give you the million dollars.
They said, you have no authority, you're not the president.
The president said, I said, call him. He said, I'm
telling you not getting a billion dollars. I said, you're
not getting a billion. I'm gonna be leaving here. And
I think it was what six hours. I look as
I'm leaving six hours. If the prosecutors not fired, you're

(19:09):
not getting the money. Oh, son of them got fired.
They there is all your quid and pro and quo
that this idiot, the impeachment manager Jason Crowe didn't want
to talk about over the weekend. Well, well you're claiming
that the president in fact in this, but he was

(19:29):
trying to bribe. No, what is Biden doing with the billion?
And that should anger every American because you can see
it is rank hypocrisy. It is at a high at
the highest level, even imaginable. But they don't care. They did, well,
let's bring in less partners. Oh the guy that would
probably say anything at this point, Well, I got a

(19:50):
picture with Trump. I got a couple of pictures with
Trump at at a photo line. Well, big deal and
doesn't mean well I talked to Rudy Giuliani. Big deal again.
And the idea that Rudy the crime fighter saw this
corruption and hypocrisy and investigated. Good for him. Why shouldn't
he here's every right too it's unbelievable, and he wants

(20:11):
to he wants to be a witness in this case.
You know, Levine said it man did, He'd nail this.
He claimed Trump is getting less due process than the
terrorists in nine to eleven. Think back, remember Gitmo, all
the all the accommodations, the soccer field built, the dietary
concerns taken care of. The whole argument that, well, we

(20:34):
should give them due process rights of American citizens, their
enemy combatants. This is the middle of a war, the
War on Terrorism nine to eleven Commissioner report. They were
at war with us, We were at war with them,
and he says this is important. Well, what what due
process have they ever given the president in any of

(20:55):
this None. That's the whole point, you know, Look at
oh Ukrainian election interference. Yeah, well Democrats, media mob, you're
gonna have to reconcile the January eleventh, twenty seventeen article
in Politico and the Ukrainian court. They're the ones that
said Ukraine interfered and faithfully executing the laws. I listened

(21:17):
to Joe and Hunter and I'm saying, holy crap, this
defines everything that we say that they say. They care
so much about. There's no crime that they've even listed
in all of this. Their obstruction of Congress is obscene
because the President, rightly seeking remedy, went in conflict with
the legislative branch through the judicial branch. That's what they do.

(21:40):
He asserted executive branch prerogatives, and as they pointed out
in their Executive Summary, contrary to a mistaken charge, the
President lacked lawful cause or excuse to resist the Department
of Justice Office of Legal Counsel, and based on established
legal principles and immunities, Executive branch officials refused to comply

(22:02):
with the subpoenas. Purportedly they were going to be issued
in the impeachment inquiry, but they was so urgent they
just decided not to invite them before the House and
even authorized any inquiry because, as the Office of Legal
Counsel advised, the subpoenas were unauthorized and had no legal
bearing or force. There's your first ruling in the president's favor,

(22:23):
and I can't imagine that the court would ever go
along with this nonsense either. My only fear is, you know,
is Congress going to say, well, this is political, we
have the right to decide that no, you don't. This
is a principle that would destroy the ability of any president.
Has been argued since George Washington to have open conversations

(22:43):
about issues of importance involving national security. Oh, who did
they want to bring in? Let's see the Chief of
Staff mcmulvaaney, National Security Advisor John Bolden, and Mike Pompeo,
Secretary of State. Now they're not allowed to be able
to freely advise the president, deliberate with the president on
important issues involving how we deal with other countries than

(23:05):
the presidency, and the constitutional right commander in chief is
evaporated under the president's supervision. Executive Branch officials were directed
not to comply because the committees seeking their testimony refused
to allow them to be accompanied by agency council. Leave it.
That's how corrupt the process was there, and the Office

(23:26):
Illegal Counsel concluded that the committees may not bar agency
counsel from assisting Executive Branch witnesses without contravening the legitimate
prerogatives of the executive branch. As it goes back to
George Washington that attempting to enforce a subpoena while barring
agency council would be unconstitutional. The reason they didn't pursue

(23:49):
it further is they know the odds are pretty strong
they're gonna lose. We'll find out from the Supreme Court.
I guess at some point down the road. Defending the
separate of powers is everything the system was designed to do.
That's why the conflict leads to the decision by the

(24:11):
third branch of government. In a government of laws asserting
legal defenses, you can't claim that that substruction because that's
a fundamental right. Supreme Court has instructed. Quote. For the
agent of the state to pursue a course of action
who's objective is to penalize a person's reliance on his
legal rights is patently unconstitutional. The same principles applied during

(24:38):
the Clinton impeachment. Lawrence tribe been on a holy war
to defeat Trump. Hates Trump allegations that invoking privileges and
otherwise using the judicial system to shield information as an
abuse of power that should lead to impeachment and removal
from office is not only frivolous but dangerous, and he

(25:00):
hates Donald Trump. Even Nadler agreed that a president cannot
be impeached for asserting a legal privilege. But that's the
whole second article that they agreed to in the House
and their impeachment. You can throw that sucker out now
because that has no legal standing. The impeachment inquiry was flawed,

(25:20):
as we all know from the beginning. They violated all
prior precedent, every consideration New Gingrich and the Republicans gave
Bill Clinton in nineteen ninety eight and nine none of it.
And they had their audition impeachment hearings to see who
did best. And then they still are withholding some of
the testimony because it's not good for them. And then

(25:40):
they had their hearsay witnesses, and then they had their
opinion witnesses. It's meaningless, and well, now we needed we
need you guys to do what we didn't do. You know,
the process that resulted was completely unjust. No due process,
no equal application of laws, no equal justice under the law.

(26:01):
I mean it just It trivializes what should be somber
and serious and should be only done not for pure
political purposes like in this case. They throw aside all
past precedent, They throw all history aside, all precedent aside,
all due process, aside, and they've rammed this thing down

(26:22):
everybody's throat with no rights for the president at all.
You know, they can coct an unheard of procedure that
denies the president the right to bring witnesses, cross examine witnesses,
and bring evidence and confront evidence. That's all gone in
this whole shift show. That's why it was bad from
the beginning. That's why the Senate Republicans they need not

(26:44):
add legitimacy to this. The hearings were defective. You got
the guy leading the Shift sham show himself is compromised
and helping to create the entire phony story and lying
about that, like he's lied about Prussia collusion for three
straight years. Denying a president of the United States is

(27:05):
fundamental due process rights is a bad precedent. You know.
Their goal was never to get to the truth. They
were selectively leaking. We saw that by the selective editing
and leaking of the audition, the audition interviews, but only
the stuff that they thought they could use to propagandize
the American people and win them over with half truths

(27:28):
and lies. They pinned their impeachment hopes on the lie
the Trump campaign colluded to Russia. Well that didn't work out.
Four separate investigations. They've been trying to impeach him, which
is why my impeachment montage on TV so powerful since
two days after he won election. It fails because they
have no evidence to support their claim. The only fact

(27:48):
witness there were two, but the congenital compromise liars shifted
and go under oath. The one fact witness, Ambassador Solomon,
is the only relevant one. You know. Whatever they might
have discussed privately, well, that's because that's the job and
role of the the president of the United States. That's right,
he's the commander in chief. We don't have five hundred

(28:10):
and thirty five of them. President didn't condition any security
assistance or a presidential meeting for We have the actual invitations.
He's still invited Zelenski to come to America five five
high profile meetings after the call. None of them was
any aid ever mentioned by anybody in any way in

(28:32):
any capacity, you know, And now it's just to me,
the whole thing is disgusting. You know. They rest on
the false premise that there could have been no legitimate
reason to mention Joe Biden. Why don't want to know why,
don't know why it's relevant. It's relevant because when I
hear Joe Biden and then I hear Hunter's interview, I
think we ought to be investigating real crimes of bribery

(28:55):
and all the associated other charges I've identified and told
you about. I won't repeat them here now, I mean,
that's how Now good thing that Senate Majority Leader McConnell.
He's now close to finalizing a rule that's going to
allow the President's team to move to dismiss the articles
in the Senate after the evidence has been presented. It's
kind of a safety valve in case the Democrats try

(29:17):
to drag out the trial for weeks and oh, we'll
stop the trial now and we'll wait and go back
to it in June. No, the president has a right
to a speedy trial here because of political purposes. No
president should have to govern with this hanging over their
head because they have such a weak case. It's not

(29:37):
the Senate's role. They're not obligated to publicize the final
version of any resolution, by the way, and so he's right,
and I hope the other Republican senators follow suit, you know,
Nadler and the rest of the Democrats. They're scared to
death that Hunter Biden will ever testify. The president's job
approval rating is steady, and the support for impeachment is

(29:58):
now dramatically inclined. Even NBC News had a site up
arguing if that it could be illegal to vote for
Donald Trump. A piece published by NBC News where they
argue that the voters who allegedly harbor racist feeling prejudices
should be reprimanded or held accountable if they wrong think.
Even they are saying, no, that's dumb. By the way,

(30:19):
the New York Times supports Warren and Klobucher for president.
That's weird. It really is. Why don't they want Joe
and Hunter? Why don't they want them? So that's where
the battle lines are drawn. And Senate Republicans ought not legitimizes,
I mean, that's the bottom bottom line here. And if
they're gonna end up with witnesses fine ringing Joe and

(30:43):
Hunter and the non whistle blower, heresay whistle Blower and Schiff,
an incredible book by Peter Schwitzer. You want to know
how corrupt bidens are Profiles in corruption, abuse of power
by America's progressive elite. Next hour two Sean Hannity's show,
Toll Free. It is eight hundred and ninety four one Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.

(31:04):
Peter Sweitzer has done an incredible job for the country,
especially heading into this election. And what he has done
is what he always does. He exposes corruption. This entire
story about Joe Biden and Ukraine and China was first
exposed in his last book, and it takes the media

(31:27):
mob that of course they're not going to pay attention
to it, but look at what this has blown up into.
So he's we're launching today and we're proud to always
have Peter on because the amount of research and detail
that goes into his books is incredible. And this book
is called profile, Profiles and Corruption and Abuse of Power
by America's progressive elite. And have you noticed they all

(31:49):
get rich? Well, he specifically deals with the presidential candidates
from Biden, Kamala Harris, I guess she's out now, Elizabeth Warren,
Bernie Sanders, Amy Kloe butch Are and others. And it
is breathtaking what we were learning in this book. Now
the mob in the media, they ignore quid pro quo,
Joe and zero experience Hunter and even this the less parness,

(32:13):
the new guy and the big guy that they're talking about. Uh,
they forget everything about him as well. When when the
congenital liar sent over the Parness stuff to the Senate,
he just ex Honor, Oh, Biden is innocent of everything.
The prosecutor was corrupt. You mean the prosecutor that was
investigating payments to zero experience Hunter or will declare him corrupt.

(32:36):
Just this is just but one example. Let's play it. Said,
I'm not going to We're not going to give you
the billion dollars. I said, you have no authority, You're
not the president. The president said, I said, call him.
I said, I'm telling you're not getting a billion dollars.
I said, you're not getting a billion. I'm gonna be
leaving here. I think it was what six hours. I look,
I said, leaving six hours. If the prosecutors not fired,

(32:59):
you're not getting money, son of it. You didn't have
any extensive knowledge about natural gas or Ukraine itself, though, No,
But I think that I had as much knowledge as
anybody else that was on the board, if not more. Oh, okay,
I didn't have any knowledge, but I'm paid millions and
millions of dollars. But that's how corrupt the Democrats are. Anyway.

(33:22):
The book number one on Amazon already, Profiles and Corruption.
We have a featured on Hannity dot com. Peter Schweitzer
is with us. He wrote the book Clinton Cash. He
has been in the forefront of exposing this corruption. Joe Biden.
I mean you first did this how long ago? Was
your last book where you exposed Biden and Hunter and

(33:43):
Ukraine and China, Sean, it's great to be with you. Yeah.
That book came out in March of twenty eighteen. We
did a show in an interview and we showed that
Hunter Biden was a conduit for large sums of money
from foreign interests who wanted favors from his father. And
that was in March twenty eighteen. Shortly after that book
came out. We started researching this new book and we

(34:05):
built upon the foundation of what we found about Hunter.
We found not only more stuff related to Hunter, other
businesses he had set up that took in hundreds of
millions from other foreign entities. We also found a four
other Biden family members who profited handsomely off of Joe
Biden's tenure as Vice president. Sogged about it, Yes, and

(34:28):
they bragged about it. It's the Biden five we call them.
And I have to be honest with you, Sean. I mean,
I've exposed a lot of corruption with Republicans and Democrats,
both sides of the Aisle. I have never seen a
circumstance where it is such a family affair as to
where you have five members of a family who are
profiting this way off of government service. Well, this is

(34:50):
what the New York Post had how five members of
Joe Biden's family got rich through connections. And you go
through all of it, and this now takes us around
the globe here you talk Russia, Ukraine, China, Latin America
and elsewhere. Correct, Yeah, that's right. I mean, for example,
if you look at Frank Biden, Joe Biden's brother, he

(35:11):
during Joe Biden's tenure as Vice president, is involved in
two projects that takes in fifty four million dollars in
taxpayer US taxpayer loans for energy projects in Costa Rica
and in Jamaica. He sets up this energy company after
his brother becomes vice president. He has no background in energy,
he has no background in Central America. He has no

(35:32):
background in any of these development plans as and yet
he piggybacks off of his brother. Joe Biden visits Costa
Rica in two thousand and nine. Shortly after that, his
brother Frank is meeting with the Costa Rican presidents and
other government officials. The same thing happens in foreign countries.
So it's a pattern, it's a consistent pattern. It's not

(35:54):
just Hunter, it's basically the entire family. It's unbelievable. Now,
what do you make and maybe you can explain this
to me, because remember this was all supposed to be
about a quid and a pro and a quote with
Donald Trump. Aid was never discussed. On the call with Zalinski,
not one time. Now, corruption was discussed, the President saying, Wow,
I hear you might be hanging out with the same

(36:14):
guys as your predecessor, and that's not a good idea.
So the President clearly was worried about American tax dollars
going to a corrupt new administration. Now, the five subsequent meetings,
high level meetings with the administration officials, including the Vice president,
not once was they had ever mentioned Zelinsky and the
farm minister. There's no influence, there's no quid pro quo.

(36:36):
The one fact witness that we ever heard from Ambassador Sonlin.
Now you got how is it the Democrats and the
mob and the media can ignore. You're not getting the
billion unless you fire the prosecutor that he knew, who
was investigating his zero experienced son who's being paid millions.
How do they bifer Kate compartmentalize their brains that way,

(36:59):
because I can't figure that part out. Yeah, it's because
there's different sets of rules for different people, Sean. And
you know that as well as I do. And you know, look,
I'm one of those people who thinks it was entirely
legitimate for Donald Trump to raise the issue of the
bidens with Zelenski on that telephone call. And here's why
the media hasn't reported is to faithfully execute the laws.

(37:20):
What Joe is doing is law breaking, exactly, Sean. But
even more to the point, President Zelenski has just been
elected in Ukraine. Who is his chief backer? Everybody acknowledges this.
His chief financial backer is a Ukrainian oligarch named Kolomoiski,
very very corrupt guy. Kolomoiski is reportedly involved with Barizma.

(37:44):
So you have a new president coming in of Ukraine
whose chief financial backer is involved in the Barizma scandal
to begin with, of course you are going to pointedly
ask him in a phone conversation. I'm asking you to
look in to this. You're basically I want you to
do us a favor, exactly me. But we had spent

(38:05):
three years on election interference. And yeah, Biden, you know,
being paid millions. The son and by the way, he's
not a kid, he's forty nine, and admitting he's only
getting it with no experience because of his father. His
father's in charge of the money, and his father's using
taxpaired dollars to shake down Ukraine to fire a prosecutor,
and Adam Shift declares Biden's innocent and the and the

(38:27):
prosecutor's corrupt. Well, I'd like to hear from the prosecutor.
You're exactly right, Sean. I mean, look, all of these
issues that have come up about collusion about Ukraine applies
in this particular case to the Bidens. There's money flowing
to them, not only from Ukrainians. One of the things
we reveal in the book is that Hunter Biden's involved
with a company called Burnham. He and his business partner.

(38:50):
His business partner brags that they have a two hundred
million dollars deal with a Russian oligarch named Yelena Batterina,
who is widely reported in the West to be tied
to Russian organized crime. There doesn't seem to be any
media interest in that this is the son of the
sitting vice president who's doing deals with these kinds of individuals.

(39:11):
You have similar deals with these unknown Chinese companies that
seem to be tied to the Chinese governments. You have
Kazak oligarchs. They're all throwing money at Hunter Biden, and
he has no background in private equity or in any
of these areas, and there's just a complete lack of
curiosity by much of the media and even looking into that,

(39:32):
it's just there's a different set of rules for different
people as far as the media is concerned. And the
Bidens are the worst. But you also go into detail
about Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders. Let's
focus in on Warren and Sanders as they are the
top tier candidates at this point, but also Amy Klobuchar explain, Bernie, explain,

(39:53):
Elizabeth Warren. Well, Elizabeth Warren's an interesting one because she
basically has a three layer cake of entangling deals that
should be concerning. The first one involves she herself. A
lot of people know that she did legal work for corporations.
She made a lot of money, millions of dollars doing that.
What people don't realize is that she made that money

(40:15):
sewan because in the mid nineteen nineties she was hired
by Congress, she was paid by taxpayers as a consultant
to rewrite a very narrow portion of the bankruptcy law.
And what did she do after she was paid by
taxpayers to do that? She went to corporations and said,
pay me large sums of money and I will help
you get around this law. And that's basically what she did.

(40:37):
She was hired by Dow Chemical, by Anderson Worldwide, a
whole host of companies. So that's Elizabeth Warrens I think
corrupt behavior. It's the oldest game in Washington and a
very corrupt one. But then on the second layer you
have her daughter, who Amelia Tiagi, who in two thousand
and seven, two thousand and eight is setting up a

(40:58):
business company called bt Gee. They're having trouble raising capital.
Well lo and behold. Her mother is being recruited by
Harry Reid to head up the TARP bailout to be
the chairman of the TARP Oversight Committee. When the meeting
takes place for that to akurl, Elizabeth Warren's daughter shows
up and what happens Sean Elizabeth Warren, as the head

(41:21):
of TARP Oversight, is involved in the bailing out of
large Wall Street firms. Who are the companies that come
to finance and advise the daughter's business, the same firms
that are being bailed out by the committee her mother
is overseeing. It's this sort of chrony cozy relationship that
Elizabeth Warren always talks about how opposed to it she is,

(41:42):
but she and then acts on it. And then the
third level Sean, there's a lot of mystery and I
think a lot of concern here. This involves her son
in law, so Sheiel Tiagi. He is married to Amelia Tiagi,
her daughter. He is originally from India, met the daughter
at Wharton Business School. But he has a series of

(42:02):
international business deals he's involved in. One of those involved
a company called Tricolor Pictures that he set up. It
was designed specifically to make movies with the financial support
of foreign governments. One of those deals, Sean was doing
a film that was financed by the government of Iran.
And when you look at the credits of that film,

(42:24):
he's the sole producer of this film, the sole producer.
The government agencies that funded that film are the government
agencies that organize a lot of the anti Semitic, anti
American rallies, cultural rallies in Iran. And in those film credits,
by the way, Amelia, sorry, Sushil Tiagi's film credits, In

(42:47):
those film credits, they actually thank the Iranian Revolutionary Guards
Air Force for their contribution to the film. It's it's
really quite a sunbelievable, all right, stay right there. This
new book is blockbuster. This is not something we can
fully inform you about in the course of one segment
on radio. We'll ask him quickly when we get back
Peter Schweitzer about Bernie Sanders. And Peter will join us

(43:10):
tonight on TV. He'll be back later this week on
radio with us. It's up on Hannity dot Com. It
couldn't be any more timely. Profiles in Corruption, Abuse of
Power by America's progressive elite. They're all getting rich. They're
a bunch of phonies. Right, as we continue, Peter Schweitzer
is with us his new book out today, profiles in corruption,
abuse of power by America's progressive elite. I mean the

(43:34):
story about Biden alone, it is so corrupt at such
a level. You know, five members of Biden's family filthy
rich because of Joe Biden, who he is not because
of experience or service that they're giving. But he also
goes into this book and it's up on Hannity dot
com and get it on Amazon dot com now on
bookstores everywhere, about Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders. So we're gonna

(43:56):
have Peter on TV tonight, back on the radio later
this week, so we can really do a deep dive
into this and think how timely it is considering all
the Democrats are doing another president very quickly. In the
minute we have left, give us a headline on Bernie
and we'll talk more about it tonight. Well, Bernie, over
the course of his thirty plus years in public office,
has funneled huge sums of money to his family. That

(44:17):
includes hiring family members even when it was not justified
in the Burlington City governments. But more specifically in the
twenty sixteen campaign, there was this mysterious media buying company
called Old Time Media that was set up. They funneled
eighty three million dollars through this media buying company, which
was located in a house on a cul de sac

(44:38):
in suburban Virginia, had no website, had no presence whatsoever.
That company was run by two of Bernie Sanders's wife's friends.
When she was asked about her connection or relationship to
that firm, she hung up on a local Vermont reporter.
So there are various ways taxpayer money, school money, other

(45:00):
things that have flowed to the family and have made
the Sanders family very, very wealthy. Well, it's pretty unbelievable.
The book is phenomenal. How many pages total and footnotes
notes do you have in the back of this book
and research and sourcing pages. I mean it went on
and on. I didn't even count them. How many, Well,
there's eleven hundred and twenty one end notes, Sean, and

(45:20):
we've got documents from seven different countries, legal documents, corporate
records that you have no research for the book. It
just flew off the top of your head and no
anonymous sources. No anonymous sources. Is all documented with paper trails,
profiles in corruption, abuse of power by America's progressive elite.
By the way, those that lecture us, those that tax

(45:42):
us to death, those that hate they're rich, hate the
word profit, are the most guilty. Anyway, It's a great book.
Kennedy dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores everywhere. Peter Schweitzer,
we're gonna feature this and we're gonna make sure everybody
gets to know and be familiar with every detail, especially
with only two hundred and eighty eight days to today.
We appreciate you being one of us. We'll see it

(46:02):
tonight when we come back. Congressman Doug Collins of Atlanta
checks in with us, and we have our friend evangelist,
albeit a king, on this Martin Luther King Day holiday.
Would you agree that this could be as short as
two weeks? What's your expectation. I think it's certainly possible
that this trial could last one to two weeks. On
the other hand, if the Senate makes the decision to

(46:24):
go down the road of additional witnesses, that could extend
it to six, eight weeks or even longer. So I
think there are really two paths here. The threshold issue here, George,
is will there be a fair trial? Will the senators
allow the House to call witnesses, to introduce documents. That
is the foundational issue on which everything else rests, and

(46:45):
one thing that the public is overwhelmingly in supportive, and
that is a fair trial. Imagine that your adjuror people
watching your show from around the country, Imagine that the
adjuror and the judge comes into the courtman says, look,
I've been in consultation with the defendant. I'm working hand
in hand with the defendant, and we've agreed that I'm
not going to allow the prosecution to call any witnesses,

(47:05):
and I'm not going to allow the prosecution to show
you any documents. I will only allow the prosecution to
read the cold transcripts from the grand jury. No juror
has ever heard that kind of a thing from a
judge because it would be absurd, It would be a
mockery of a trial, not a trial. But that is
what Senator McConnell to date is proposing. But that's not

(47:26):
what the American people want, and I don't think it's
true to the oath the Senators have taken to be
impartial administers of justice. If the Senate decides, if the
Senor McConnell prevails, and there are no witnesses, it will
be the first impeachment trial in history that goes to
conclusion without witnesses. Look, I can tell you the atmosphere

(47:46):
in the Senate when I came with the other house
managers and we read the articles was one befitting something
that has only happened three times in the nation's history.
And I intend during the trial to be respectful of
the senators, to operate from the presumption that they do
take their o serious seriously, but also with the knowledge
that Americans are watching that they're going to demand a

(48:07):
fair trial. And if the Senators don't give the country
a fair trial, one that's fair to the president but
also fair to the American people, the senators will be
held accountable. So that's the approach I intend to take.
All right, there was the compromise. I mean, I mean,
you want you want the one guy on tape that
thinks he's he's that is literally believes he's colluding with

(48:29):
a Russian. You know what is what is the nature
of the combromising? We have compromising mateos. Yeah, well what
are they? Can you can can you can you tell
me you compromising Matidias? Yes, of course does Vladimir know? Yes? Wow,
can I get them? That guy, the one guy that

(48:51):
lied for three years, the congenital liar. I mean, now
what Look, this is now coming down to a fight,
and we've to be very careful as a country on
this because if a president cannot an executive privilege, have
the freedom and ability to speak freely, get advice freely

(49:12):
from those, especially with his national security team, it will
forever destroy and literally prohibit the president from being able
to fully do his job with the best freest advice
because otherwise everybody's gonna run what they say through their lawyers. Now,
between that and oh we didn't do a good enough

(49:32):
job in the House, so we only found one fact.
Witness Ambassador Sonlon and an ambassador Sonlan said the president
wanted nothing and no quid and pro and quo and
everything else was a shift sham show, and we just
created this big illusion that there's something here. There's not. Now,

(49:52):
Senator McConnell rightly, considering what we just played at Ted Cruz,
well he is now working with other republic plans or
finalizing a rule that would allow the president's team to
move to dismiss these articles in the Senate after the
evidence they impeach. The president's sole job of the House.
The sole constitutional authority to impeach lies with the House

(50:14):
of Representatives. The sole constitutional authority to have the trial
based on the impeachment of the House is in the Senate.
It's not the sentence constitutional role to bolster or redo
the work of the House. That is their constitutional domain,
not the sentence. But if they're going to try and

(50:35):
drag this out to you know, well, we'll just wait,
We'll just let this sit and you impeached to him. Now,
let's get the trial on. And at some point here
they've got to say, okay, we've heard enough. Now. Really,
I think the addition of any other witness, but you
know it legitimizes this entire farce. It is unbelievable to me. Well,

(50:59):
why didn't that him shift the congenital liar call all
these people. Oh no, we need to do it urgently,
because he knows that when there's a conflict between the
executive and legislative branch, Well, the constitutional stop gap, if
you will, is to seek remedy from that other branch
of government, known as the judicial branch of government. Now,

(51:20):
the Republicans in this particular case need to stand strong
and do their job in the Senate. The House impeach
the president. Now it's their job to have the trial.
Let the House managers present everything that they found why
they impeached him, not another four hundred thousand reasons. They
want to go impeach him again, I guess they can
go do that. They can try, but they're doing nothing

(51:42):
for the American people in the interim nothing. They've done nothing.
They couldn't even praise the killing US solomany. They've done
nothing to help the president with the economy, nothing to
relieve taxes, nothing for job creation, nothing to secure the border.
They've done nothing to make us energy independent. They've done
nothing in terms of negotiating the new trade deals. They
just predicted it would be a disaster like everything else

(52:05):
they say about Trump. Now it's time the game is on.
You got okay, you did your impeachment thing. We all
know it's corrupt. Now let the Senate hold the trial.
It's not their role constitutionally to do the job of
the House. Georgia Congressman Doug Collins is with us. By
the way, I saw an ajcpole that, um, you're really
well favored amongst Republicans in Georgia to be the next

(52:27):
senator in Georgia. I noticed that maybe the governor should
have listened to me. Nobody ever listens to me. They
may have, So we're gonna be talking about that more.
But it's good. It's good to be with you. That
the tape that you run off h you know ship
and is just you know, had just I mean amazing
problems with the truth. I mean when he said that

(52:48):
there's no court in the land where drewers will come
in and not expectabilcy with it. Let me take it
back yourself further. There will be no court in the
land that would allow prosecutors to come in with a
case as bad as this one, who have actually abused
every power, abused everything to actually make their case that
you're look, you said a minute ago, they found one
fat win, a stundling. Let me rephrase that there was

(53:09):
another fact win that they knew about, but they'd ignored
it is Adam chill, correct. I mean, this is why
this whole notion. Look at the Constitution couldn't be any
clearer to me. Why our Republican senators, some of the
weak ones, even contemplating bringing in new witnesses because the
House impeached them. Now, their job is to convince the

(53:32):
Senate that it was warranted and just, and they hold
the trial. That's their constitutional role. It's not their job
to do the impeaching. The House already did it, and
it was done in the most corrupt way imaginable. Why
would they add legitimacy to this force. Well, you're exactly right, Sean,
And this is the one thing that we've been emphasizing
over and over again. We don't feel like this in

(53:53):
the way that teaching this set up is that it's
an evolving case. It's not something that you that you
bring up what they've brought up. As they were disupposed
to do their enquiry, they were supposed to have their hearings,
which by the way, we only had one side of hearing.
They were supposed to allow at least some modica of
due process. They didn't do that. They were supposed to

(54:13):
come to the Senate with a case. Now think about this,
when I'm talking about a case for a crime, you know,
such as we had in Clinton where he actually furthered himself.
We're just thinking about an empeachment case to remove a
sitting president who was duly elected. It should be more
than hearsay an innuendo. It should be more than just
simply saying we had a few witnesses who we thought
sounds good. It should be more about more than just

(54:35):
simply saying we disagree with the policy of the president.
It should be about something actually that put our country
in Jeffrey, this bunk. This president has done nothing to
do that except put our country in a stronger position.
The reason for this empeachment they don't like him, and
they don't have good candidates to beating next November. So
this should have been thrown out a long time ago.
But they had a clock and a calendar, and they're
doing it now and then trying to make the Senate

(54:57):
to do their job for him. How does these Democrats
like when shift in this guy that's under how many
indictments with the Southern District of New York parness, I mean,
they're acting like it's the second Coming. Now. The guy's
under serious indictment, including the recent charge that he tried
to hide a million dollar payment from of all places, Russia.
But the reality is that this job was done. Now

(55:20):
where are we with the executive privilege? Now the Court
has already agreed the Supreme Court to take this issue up.
We'll get a ruling, I guess sometime down the line
in June or somewhere thereabouts, when the Supreme Court finishes
its term for this year. So my question to you is, Okay,
they wouldn't wait. Why would the Senate ever even consider

(55:41):
anybody ever consider a delay in this on this front? Well,
they shouldn't really, okay, And I think this is the
part when you bring the case to courts. Whatever I've
had to bring a case quart or I've been a
part of trial. Of course, you bring your complete case,
and especially when it's a case is more modicle after
a civil count trial than a criminal problem. You know,
you have your court record, you have your train scripts,
you have everything you come to court with. They don't

(56:02):
have that because they did such a poor job. Adam's
shift was just rambling this through. Jared Navar was a
giant rubber stamp, and the rest of these folks that
are that have been from Nancy blos Young bound simply
got their impeachment, as they're claiming that they wanted so
that they could run against the president. Again, this is
the problem. You have to go through this process, and

(56:22):
this has been something that is historically. They want to
take this out of contact with Nixon and Clinton. There
were several years of investigation, several years of court proceeding,
several years of things that went on which the wine
House was fully involved in this roughly seventy eight days,
and in which seventy one of those days the President
had no even possibility of being part of the process.

(56:45):
So they've just rushed this through. All of those things
that they talked about now about litigating witnesses and executive
rig was done prior to the impeachment investigations on Clinton
and others. They're just simply trying to make it up
as they go. Again, Sean, don't let anybody both use
this is about November twenty twenty. It's not about a
bone College July it is, well, it's about just smearing Trump.

(57:08):
This is all they do now. I love the articles,
the executive summary that was put out by the President's attorneys.
Finally they're fighting back. It is an affront to the Constitution.
It is an affront to our democratic institutions. The articles are,
it's a better rigged process. The whole time, there has
been no due process for the president. This is to

(57:29):
damage the president. Nobody, nobody thinks that it's ever going
to go anywhere. In the end, they don't identify a
single impeachable offense. The theory about abuse of power is
not an impeachable offense. Their obstruction charges because the president
seeks remedy on the issue of executive privileges is absurd.
On the face of it. The president properly did with

(57:50):
all presidents before him have done. Defending the separation of
powers is not an impeachable offense. The impeachment inquiry was
flawed from the big again an they have violated all
precedent and due process. So the question is where does
this end? Now? What do you see because I see
some week senators Republican senators. Well, that's a concern, and

(58:10):
I think my hope is that once we have the
opening arguments, that they'll get to hear a shop drawing on,
They'll get to hear Jerry and Idler drawing home. They'll
get to hear the rest. Don't drawing on about what
say about the innuendo'll hearsay everything that they put together.
It's interesting the Democrats always say that we focus on process,
and I've always said, yes, we focused on process because
you didn't do it properly. But I've never not focused

(58:32):
on the fact. And one of the things you'll not
hear them do is actually have anybody that could confirm
that the money was with all? Do is any conditionality
for improper reading or proper motive? And at the end,
they got the money without doing anything to get it.
They don't want to stay right there. I'll take a
quick break. Doug Collins, Congressman Atlanta with US one hundred
and nine for one, Sean, if you want to be

(58:54):
a part of the program. All right, as we continue,
Georgia Congressman Doug Collins, who is with US nine for one,
Shaun is a number news round up, information overload, our
coming up. We'll get to your calls. We'll check in
with our friend Alveda King on this Martin Luther King Day.
All right, so what about what? And I did like
with Obviously McConnell is recognizing that the Democrats might be

(59:17):
happy to hold this over the president's head, I guess
for months and months, so he's looking at a kill switch.
At some point. You gotta stop this madness. What do
you think of these week Senate Republicans some of them,
it's just a few, but a few of all the power. Well,
they have to say the evidence for what it is,
and they're gon have to say the anerate it's the president.

(59:37):
It's time for them to listen, you know, to a
full hearing. Let the Senate hear what the uh happened
in the house. They look at the actual evidence is
being presented. They look to find that there's nothing wrong,
and then they need to move to their questions and
then frankly, they need to move to a quit. This
is I mean, the Democrats are not put on any
kind of evidence with peaching this president for moved them
from moment and the Republicans and frankly Democrats as well.

(59:59):
It's put it all Republics Democrats who vote to impeach
this president have set a dangerous president for any future
president going forward, in which we have entered the realm
of the political impeachment, in which this will be a
talking point for anybody who's who wins president when I'm
out of the Republican or Democrat. As long as the
House is held by another party, this will become something

(01:00:20):
that is damaging. The very core Nancy Pelosi speakership is now,
I frankly think will always be tarnished with the ability
to let her party do a political impeach. But this
damages our democracy and damages the House of Representatives. All right, well,
said Doug Collins, Congressman the great state of Georgia. Are
you gonna run for the Senate where they're looking at that?

(01:00:42):
Sean and now the way we're still helping the president
finished up, but we're gonna have some discussion about that,
and you and I are gonna have a be able
to talk about it. Do you predict this will be
over in two weeks? I'm hopefully it will be. I
think that that's what needs to happen. I don't see
any reason to drag this out. I think if they
start trying to drag this out, I think American people,
and especially those enators who may be waverery right now,

(01:01:03):
we'll see this as nothing but a political toy. And
if they allow it to be used the political film,
if the Senate is now dimnis just as the House
that's been demanded. All right, Congressman Doug Collins, Great State
of Georgia, thank you, sir for being with us. Eight
hundred and nine four one sewn. If you want to
be a part of the program, all right News rounded
up Information Overload, we'll get to your calls. Our friend evangelist,

(01:01:24):
I'll be the King. We'll join us as we remember
this Martin Luther King Day Holiday her uncle eight hundred
nine one saw on our number. Before I get there,
I tell you I'm watching this week. I don't watch
the Sunday shows much anymore, and I got to print
out everything that's said every interview. I can sift through

(01:01:44):
it quickly. I'd rather read it than watch it because
watching it is infuriating. So that's kind of become my system.
I also get summaries they put out within Fox, within
the internal workings of the Fox News channel, so that's
a very hopeful resource for me. And I want to
Stephanopolos every interview he's doing. It's so corrupt and abusively biased,

(01:02:05):
and I just want you to just listen to this now.
He was there in the war room. He was one
of Clinton's biggest defenders. I guess ABC can hire whoever
they want. But we know that he's part of the
media mob. We know he hates Trump, we know he
was in the tank for Hillary. And people act like
he's a newsman. He's not. I'm the one that Oh,

(01:02:27):
Hannity has opinions, so do all these other people, except
I'm honest. I tell you I give opinion. I tell
you that I give straight news I do. I tell
you we do investigative reporting. We were right the last
three years, and the mob in the media, including Stephanopolos
and ABC were dead wrong. But just listen, for example,
this weekend brief filed by the presid attorneys last night

(01:02:49):
to search several times if the president did nothing wrong
with Ukraine? Do you agree with that. I didn't sign
that freef I didn't even see the brief until after
it was filed. That's not part of my mandate. My
mandate is to determine what is a constitutionally authorized criteria
for impeachment. And I strongly believe that abusive power is

(01:03:10):
so open end that half of American presidents in history,
from Adams to Jefferson to Lincoln to Roosevelt, have been
accused by the political enemies of abusing their power. The
Framers didn't want to have that kind of criteria in
the Constitution because it weaponizes impeachment. I understand that I purpose.
I understand that's your position, but that's not what I'm
asking because you're also a citizen. As a citizen, do

(01:03:31):
you think it's okay for a president to solicit for
an interference in our election? There's a big difference between
what's okay. What's okay determines who what you vote for,
who you vote for. I'm a liberal Democrat who's been
critical of many of the policies of the president. I'm
here as a constitutional lawyer, a lawyer who's taught for
fifty years constitutional a criminal procedure at Harvard, toward a

(01:03:55):
course on impeachment, toward a course on constitutional litigation. I'm
here to lend my expertise on that issue in that
issue alone, because that's the primary issue. So you don't
think his allegations are not impeachable, then this trial should
result in an acquittal, regardless of whether the conduct is
regarded as okay by you or by me, or by voters.

(01:04:18):
The voters. I'm asking you, as a lawyer in the case.
I'm not going to present my personal views on what
I think. I think that the conduct does not rise
to the level of an impeachable event. And then this
is what infuriates me, because he's an advocate. He's not
fair balanced, he's not news, but he pretends to be

(01:04:41):
like the rest of the mob. They now don't care.
Why is it he asking about quid and pro and
quo and Joe. Why is it he out there leading
the charge? It was it was his network that had
the interview with zero experience, Hunter being paid millions, admitting yeah,

(01:05:02):
do you have any experience? No? No, none, whatsoever. Well,
why do you think you got chosen? I don't know.
Do you think maybe it's because your dad's the vice
president in charge of all things Ukraine? Probably? Probably. Now
we're learning again from our friend Peter Schwhitzer's new book,
Profiles and Corruption, Abuse of Power by America's progressive elite.
Now we have five ways the Biden family made money

(01:05:26):
off of his position. Well, that also is at that
in and of itself. Listen, just remember who Stephanopolis is.
He worked in the Bill Clinton administration. He was there
and got yelled at a lot apparently by Hillary Clinton.
Still he's a Clinton sycophant. But that's it's just this,

(01:05:46):
it's it is now the mainstream of media today to
be corrupt, abusively biased. They speak in one voice. It's
all anti Trump, every second, every minute, every hour of
every broadcast day. Let's listen to him when he was
helping trying to help Bill Clinton get elected in quote

(01:06:08):
Bimbo eruptions, what was going on? What does names addressed?
I can send you effects with names addressed, his phone
numbers of who you in an affair with. It wouldn't
make it true. It is completely If you went on
the radio and said that Bill Clinton is the father
village that have a black child, you would be laughed at.
People would think you're crazy. I guarantee you that if

(01:06:28):
you do this, you can be able to do this.
You'll never work in democratic politics again. Maybe you don't
want to. I'm not saying it matters. You will be
embarrassed before the National Press Corps. People will think nobody
will believe you, and people will think you're scumming that.
The alternative is if you don't do it, it causes

(01:06:52):
you some temporary pain with people who tomorrow aren't gonna matter,
and you have a campaign that I'm just hands at
in a difficult time. He did something right, you know
that's important. It doesn't mean anything. We can't do anything
for you specifically or anything like that. But you you

(01:07:13):
know that you did the right thing. We're gonna bludge
in you if you don't, if you if you dare
run with the story. Did anyone ever remind George that
it all turned out to be true? Unbelievable, it's so corrupt.
How do they exonerate quid pro quote Joe and Hunter?
Why aren't they demanding answers here? Why did they go

(01:07:35):
along with a phony narrative, a lie? They just echo
the same thing. Oh that's there's nothing there, No, no, no,
no reasonable person has ever even alleged anything wrong. No,
it's fine, it's it's It is spectacular, breathtaking hypocrisy and
lying that. We are fed day in and day out,
every day by every outlet. I want to know why.

(01:07:58):
Thanks to all of you, Hannity's number one on in
all of cable news. We're getting numbers now that rival
what the networks used to get. That's how That's how
much cable news has grown. Because people can't trust any
of these other outlets. Fake news will forever be their
brand because of the corruption and the abusive, biased coverage

(01:08:22):
of everything. There's a few of us. There's a very few,
small few of us. I'm a talk show host. I'm
like the whole newspaper. We do news, investigated, reporting, opinion, sports,
even I'm wan to talk about. Well, we got a
super Bowl coming up Kansas City, and boy, it's not
Green Bay. That was the disaster in the first seven

(01:08:43):
minutes of the game yesterday in San Francisco. All right,
let's get to our phones here, Kansas we say hi
to Wayne. What's up? Wayne? How are you glad you called? Hey,
Sean to talk to you. By the way, I'm guessing
who you have in the Super Bowl taken just a
long shot. You're probably pulling for Kansas City. Oh, absolutely,

(01:09:05):
Harry kidding. Patrick Mahomes is a beast. He's amazing, There's
no doubt about it. He had a Listen, they were
behind for a period of time. I thought Tanna Hills
becoming a pretty good quarterback. M he did, he did,
he did, and they had a lead for a while.
Then forget it. There was no stopping him once he
turned on fire. Those long bombs he keeps throwing. I'm like, wow,
great football, Yep, yep, No, you're You're not gonna beat

(01:09:28):
Chief's Kingdom in our house though, that's not how it
goes down. Well, the house and fighting and next in
two weeks from now is going to be in Miami,
so it's nobody's house. Yeah, yeah, hey, So I'm The
reason why I called is because I think I heard
you say this a couple of weeks ago. This president

(01:09:49):
is single handedly changing two things. One the way people
campaign and too what it means to be a civil servant.
How great is it that a press and then can
go out and do a campaign rally for multiple hours,
and after being in public service for three and a
half years, talk about what he has done. And it's

(01:10:13):
scaring the death out of the liberals because all they
can do is go out and campaign on what they
want to do, and they realize that they can't throw
out these empty promises anymore. We're going to hold them accountable,
and it's scaring them to death. Listen, I think at
the end of the day, when this all goes away
and I'm the only people I'm annoyed at our weak

(01:10:37):
Republican senators, and I expect it's going to frustrate us
in the next week or two. But at the end
of the day, there's nothing here. We all know how
this ends. Then there's an election in two hundred and
eighty eight days. And I'll tell you I voted for
Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty that was my first presidential vote.
I am dying to get to the ballot box. Even

(01:11:00):
though my vote in New York means little to nothing,
I understand that I'm still voting. And I hope the
people in the country are seeing what we're seeing, what
you're describing, because he makes the promises and he keeps them,
and we've benefited from his policies. And you know what

(01:11:21):
I told all my conservative friends, and I lost friends
over this. I said, he's gonna govern as a conservative.
I think we've been vindicated, just like we were vindicated
on oh premeditated fraud, fi's abuse, spying on a candidate,
a transition team, a president, and it's much worse. And
we were right about Hillary, and we're right about the
double standard. And we don't have equal application of our laws,

(01:11:44):
and we don't have equal justice under the law. Hopefully
that'll be rectified with Durham and Barr. But what we're
seeing here is a travesty, and it is an unconstitutional
power grab by people that have never accepted the will
of the people. It's you know, you gotta understand something here, Wayne.
They hate us more because we're the smelly Walmart Trump

(01:12:07):
supporters to put them in office in the first place. Yep.
They don't want us to be free thinkers. Correct. And
you know what the best revenge is winning two eighty
eight days. Imagine the shock on the faces of all
these mob people, the Democrats, when they project Donald J.

(01:12:27):
Trump has been reelected the forty fifth president of the
United States. Now, I can't predict that's going to happen.
The only way that happens is for we the people
to do our job. Now, we get the power back
in two and eighty eight days, and I will put
up on Hannity dot Com an interactive election everything you
need to know about how you can vote. I'm I'm
telling you how to vote, everything you need to do

(01:12:49):
to get registered, when you need to register, by when
you want to begin early voting, r absentee vot voting
all that's up there. Okay, Yes, thank you Wayne. Good
luck in two weeks. Karen in Los Angeles, Karen, how
are you sorry about all your homeless problems going on
there and all a lot of problems out in Los
Angeles and California. Yes, unfortunately there are. Thank you. First

(01:13:14):
of all, thank you for being such a reliable source
of information for me. So. I'm twenty nine years old
and I live in Los Angeles, and I was a
looney liberal only six months ago. I used to be
one of those brainwashed Trump paters, hypnotized by the stake
news and hung on the way that he was portrayed
in mainstream media. I thought I knew it all. I

(01:13:35):
thought I had all the answers. Turns out I really
knew nothing, which is why I am calling today. So,
like I said, six months ago, I stumbled onto a
video of one of Trump's first pieces when he was running.
It was a video I've never seen before, and in
that moment everything changed for me. It was like a
light going on in my head and I understood Trump

(01:13:58):
in that moment. It was like really crazy and in
for the past six months, I've been diving into relearning
everything that I thought I knew about politics, the constitution,
history of this country, and the principles America was founded on.
Evolving from a looney liberal to a patriot means a
whole new way of thinking. If you want any chance

(01:14:18):
in this battle for our mind, you have to have
a basic understanding of this country, because the thing's happening
right now run so much deeper than some silly Trump
quote that gets twisted by fake news. And there aren't
many Trump supporters my age in Los Angeles, so I'm
lucky enough to have a patriotic dad. And he told
me that when he was in school, his history teacher

(01:14:39):
was so passionate and made learning about history fun and interesting.
And I think that the modern day educational system has
lost that. Kids don't find learning about America fun, and
then they're bombarded with all these anti Trump ads and
news stories and they completely bypassed the building blocks of
forming an educational opinion. Instant Churchill, the Great Winston Churchill,

(01:15:02):
once made the observation, if you're twenty and you're not
a liberal, you don't have a heart. If you're forty
and not a conservative, you don't have a brain. What
I admire about what's that. What I admire about your
comments and I'm gonna have to let you go because
I'm up on a break here is that you took

(01:15:23):
the time and cared enough to just say okay, and
I had an open mind to look at it. I
believe if if people do what you do, we would
be such a better society. I totally applaud you for
your efforts. You worked hard to inform yourself. I'm not
saying to believe me. Just see our track records there.

(01:15:44):
We were right about Obama, we were right about the
deep state. We've been right about a lot of things.
The media they're wrong about most of it, and they
have an agenda and they lie about it. Great call, Karen.
We wish you the best as you now embark on
your new political journey. Quick break. We'll come back, more
calls on the other side as we continue, and doctor
Alvida King will join us at the bottom of the hour.

(01:16:07):
All right, here, we are just two eighty eight days
until election day. How many people have the day off today,
and maybe you don't get to hear the program as
often as you normally do with your regular schedule. Glad
to have you today because of the Martin Luther King
Junior Holiday. Let's play a portion. I mean, this is
one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.

(01:16:31):
There was no more powerful order than doctor Martin Luther
King Junior or courageous along with all these other civil
rights leaders at the time. I still have a dream. Yeah,
it is a dream deeply rooted in the American dreams.
I have a dream. But one day this nation will

(01:16:54):
rise up, live out the true meaning of its screen.
We hold these twos to be self evident, that all
men are created. I have a dream that one day,

(01:17:18):
on the Red Hill to Georgia, the sons of farmer
slaves and the sons of farmer slave honors will be
able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream but one day even the state
of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice,

(01:17:45):
sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into
anyaces of freedom and justice. I have a dream that
my four little children one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of
their skin, but by the content of their character. I

(01:18:08):
have a dream today. I have a dream that one
day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its

(01:18:29):
governor having his lips drifting with the words of interposition
and nullification. One day, right bad in Alabama, little black
bars and black girls will be able to join hands
with little white bars and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today. I have a dream that

(01:18:55):
one day every valid shall be exalted, every hill in
mining shall be made low, the rough places will be
made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight,
And the gore of a lord shall be revealed. Our
flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This
is a faith that I go back to the Southwes.

(01:19:17):
With this theme, we will be able to he out
of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With
this theme, we will be able to transform the jangling
discards of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
With this theme, we will be able to work together,

(01:19:37):
to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together,
to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will
be free. One day, This will be the day. This
will be the day, with all of God's children be
able to sing with new meaning. My country tearsity sweet

(01:20:01):
land of liberty, of r sing Land, where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrim's pride. From every mountainside, let freedom
ring and of Americus. To be a great nation, this
must become true. And so let freedom ring from the
prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the

(01:20:25):
mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the
heightening alleghanies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the smoke
cap rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the crevicious
slumps of California. But not only that. Let freedom ring
from storm mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from lookout

(01:20:50):
mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and
mole hill of Mississippi, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happened, and when we allowed freedom ring,
when we let it ring from every village and ever

(01:21:11):
hamlet from every state and every sit we will be
able to speed up that day when all about children,
black men and white men choose, and ten plouds, Protestants
and Catholic we'll be able to join hands and singing
the words of the old Negro spiritual Free at last, Free,

(01:21:33):
at last, thank God a matter. We are freed last
Just amazing words, amazing man, amazing life. You know, or
think about when he says I've seen the Promised Land.
I may not get there with you, but I've seen

(01:21:54):
the promised land. Unbelievable. Doctor King is with us. I'll
bet the King secutive director Rights for Unborn, Priests for life.
Always great to have you back. I just want to
tell this quick story. So when I went to Atlanta
as a local radio host in nineteen ninety two, I
was welcome to the city of Atlanta by then Mayor

(01:22:16):
Maynard Jackson. The first day I'm on the air. Living
in Atlanta, I got to meet all of these civil
rights icons, and I had good relationships with many of them,
including Maynard Jackson. He's since passed away. I had a
good relationship with the mayor. He didn't like my politics,
but we had a great respect for him. I got
to know SELC Founder, you know, Joe Lowry, amazing man,

(01:22:39):
incredible courage that all of these civil rights leaders had
and showed at the time. I became best friends with
Josea Williams. He was a trip and every year the
Monday before the Thursday Thanksgiving I'm I'm gonna make it,
and then boom, he'd go on and give out the
phone number and he'd get all the money to ever

(01:23:00):
dreamed of to feed the poor in the hungry in
and around the Atlanta area. So everyone had a good,
warm meal on Thanksgiving. Amazing man. He since passed away.
You know, then you have people like Andy Young Again.
I didn't agree with a lot of the politics. You
can look at Congressman John Lewis. What the thing that

(01:23:20):
I admire so much and I learned so much about,
is this whole peaceful protest when fire hoses are being
turned on you, when rocks, bottles, etc. Are being thrown
at you, when you gather, you march anyway and in
full completely peaceful protesting, with the worst vitriol and hatred

(01:23:45):
thrown at you. It was every single time an amazing
act of courage. And these brave founders of the civil
rights organizations, and you know, resulting in the Civil Rights
Act of sixty four and the Voting Rights Act of
sixty five, amazing accomplishments. And they've made our country a
better place because of their courage. I know there's the

(01:24:06):
politics surrounding the issue of African Americans voting Democrat, a
majority of which. But we've been addressing these polls. They're
not outliers anymore. The amazing support now we're seeing for
Donald Trump in the Black community as he sets one
record after another of low unemployment rates in the Black community,
Hispanic community, Asian community, women in the workforce, youth unemployment.

(01:24:28):
Because you look at any city in America that's been
run by liberal Democrats for decades. They have failed the
people in these cities. But they you know, every two
four years, Oh we need your vote. What do I
always complain about every two four years? What do we
hear from Democrats? Republicans are racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic.

(01:24:49):
They want dirty air water, they want Grandma and Grandpa
poor eating cat and dog food before Paul Ryan look
alike throws him over a cliff one day in a
campaign ad. And I've gone through the history of those
many times. I think that's changing because I think more
people are beginning to see democratic policies have failed, they're

(01:25:09):
they're just dead promises. Anyway, become friends over the years
with doctor Elvita King. You knew your uncle growing up,
how old were you when he was assassinated. I was
seventeen years old. I got married the very next year.
My dad, remend a d king, walked me down the
aisle in A week later, he was killed in the
swimming pool in Atlanta. But I'm so glad Sehan that

(01:25:31):
you always give you a history and the backstory, because
a lot of people think you just want to be
a journalist and say, you knew Martin Luther King of
about him and heard this, and I didn't know him.
I'm saying not. People want to say that you're trying
to associate with Excuse me, but you knew a lot
of the people that worked with him, and you were
very close, and you've had that history and well respected

(01:25:54):
on both sides, and I don't think a lot of
people really understand that about you. So I'm as you
would get able to tell all of that as well.
You know what people don't remember under j Edgar Hoover,
this is not the first time that we've had abuse
of power by high ranking people, not the rank and file,
but high ranking people in the FBI. They had sent

(01:26:17):
to your uncle a basically a letter. It was a
letter saying, you know, basically to kill yourself, if I
remember correctly, because we have this, this, this, this, this, this,
and this about your personal life. It was the people
all the time. I don't know if people really understand that,
but yeah, but it didn't stop him. He didn't care
good for him. They were trying to destroy him and

(01:26:39):
make him stop fighting for what he believed. It Well,
he had a mission, he had a purpose. He knew
why he was here, and he set his face toward that.
And many of us who knew him saw him do
that and knew that that was what he was doing.
My dad was able to do the same thing the
very next year and then so even if this particular see,

(01:27:00):
we understand that we are in that kind of a
season again. And those of us who stand for truth,
not that we are saying I'm ready to die. I'm
way beyond thirty nine years old. I'm sixty nine Wednesday.
You see, no way, no you you don't look at
day over twenty oh thank you saying oh hallelujah. But
you but you know, you think about this. Maybe he

(01:27:20):
was a reverend, And I don't know whether it's true
or not. It doesn't take away from all of the
great things he did, and all of the great fight
he had, Yeah, and then to have just because they
didn't like his political views. They were illegally surveiling him
and then trying to destroy him. People, when you meet Jesus,
you start to try to get better. And that's what

(01:27:42):
all that's about. So I really want people to admit
or you hate that part. It's like Christians get disparaged,
you know, like like the media mob and everybody they
seem to relish in a somebody who professors who want
to be a Christian or is a Christian in their
failures and I'm like, well, my understanding, and I'm you know,

(01:28:02):
I'm the one that needs the salvation. I'm not one
of the good Christians. That's how proselytizing, right. But here's
the thing, yeah, I just take it is why are
you making fun of people that say they want to
live a better life and they want to treat people
the way other peoples are treated? And you know what,
what did Jesus say? You know, you know, love God
and your neighbor as yourself. And that's basically the summary

(01:28:24):
of all the laws and all the laws of the prophet.
What's so bad about that? After all these years, and
I'm still doing the best I can. I know if
they work in progress until we get home, and Heaven
is home. So it's the grace of God calling on
the name of Jesus. That doesn't mean we just keep
doing whatever we're doing. That's just no excuse to do that.
But we want to just do what we can to

(01:28:46):
love others, to treat others fairly and kindly, love God
and your neighbor as yourself. That's pretty much. And you know,
the other thing is it's interesting that Jesus. Let's see,
he picked twelve fishermen. I'm guessing fisherman weren't that different
than fisherman today. You know, probably tax collectors, all those rights. Yeah,

(01:29:07):
and and and the woman you know, all right, you
who were without sending you throw the first step Walban
who was caught in the act. But did you have
a wonder who she was acting with exactly? You got
to wonder he's actually done with that, he did deal
with this. Yeah, well, your uncle was an amazing man,
and I know you fight for his legacy. I don't

(01:29:29):
want to turn this into a political segment, but I
do think there's something going on. This is not an outlier.
I think the records and thank god our American family, everybody,
every demographic now is is now benefiting from the conservative
policies of the president. Of the ethnic group. We're not
different races, were one blood. We all believe the same

(01:29:49):
same color blood. We love you. I just wanted to
I wanted to honor your uncle on this Martin Luther
King Junior Day holiday. I don't, unfortunately get it off
um with all the news going on. But we love you.
God bless you and the work you do. I know
you're out there saving lives every day and working hard
on the issues you care the most about. Evangelist Alveda

(01:30:11):
King amazing woman, amazing, amazing, unbelievable courage. And I learned
I watched this. You got to watch these documentaries on
the civil rights movement and the marches Selma Montgomery. You know,
look up to the document about doctor King and they
try to destroy this man. The deep state then under
