Speaker 1 (00:10):
Well, we are coming. See y'all sitting well, and if
you want a little banging, come along as we defend
our people in interests. Let me reiterate that the United
(00:31):
States is not seeking a war with Iran, but we
are prepared to finish one. I salute the incredible skill
and courage of America's men and women in uniform. For
far too long, all the way back to nineteen seventy nine,
to be exact, nations have tolerated Rand's destructive and stabilizing
behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over,
(00:56):
Team minus two hundred and ninety eight days left till
the presidential election. Be aware of coming to your st
Gotta play our guests and saying you a conscious song.
From coast to coast, from border to border, from sea
(01:23):
to shining sea. Sean Kennedy is born. Thank you, Scott Shannon,
and happy Friday, two hundred and ninety eight days to
go to the moment that you we the American people,
You got a shot at shocking the world again. And
(01:45):
just imagine, just let your mind wander for a second
into a happy place, and all of a sudden, all
these news organizations so vested in their rage, their psychotic
hate Trump every second, minute, hour of any twenty four
hour day, every week, every month, every day of the year,
(02:06):
even leading up to Christmas. The urgency. We gotta do
it urgently. It's gotta be urgent, urgent, urgent in beach
and beach and beach. Well, not so fast, um, and
you hear the words, we can now project. Let's go
through CNN. Fake news can now project that Donald J.
Trump has been re elected the forty fifth president of
(02:27):
the United States. Who's gonna get that duty over at
fake news CNN? Or could you imagine it was so
bad the last time? It's almost entertaining over an area
fifty one Roswell, Rachel Maddow, The Conspiracy Theory Channel, all
things nutty, all things loopy, all things wrong. Um, you know,
(02:52):
just well, we can now project Donald J. Trump has
been elected reelected forty FN president. I'd say, look, I'm
I don't know just the way I've brought up. I'm
always waiting for the next bomb to be dropped on
my head. Maybe it's an Irish American thing. What do
you think, Linda, You're Irish, right, It's kind of hits
(03:12):
in a potato never failed anybody? What's that six packet
of potato? Never failed? Now, these are things you can
only say because you're Irish. What is the Irish seven
chorus meal? A six packet of potato? Unless you're Howard Stern,
you can say anything you want. He's the only one
that has He's like grandfathered in with freedom that nobody
else off at the knees anymore. Forget about it. Nah,
(03:32):
you know he's still Howard. It's fine. Now, let me
just start with good news here today, because there's a
lot of heavy stuff, looks like impeachment madness. The trial
will begin Wednesday. And I want to reiterate something that
I said on television last night because I am I
am serious about this, and I want all of these
Republicans they better, they better pay very close attention. I
(03:53):
am not. American people are not going to tolerate senators
in Republican senators trying to do the job of the
House over this yesterday. Constitution very clearly empowers the House
and the House of Representatives. Only they get to do
(04:13):
the impeachment. Then the trial is in the US Senate.
Then we have the Supreme Court justice in this case,
Chief Justice John Roberts preside. Now they did their impeachment.
It's pathetic. We first had the closed door auditions to
see if we can get hearsay or fact witnesses to
(04:35):
be more than what they really are, and that didn't work.
But they took then they hid the information. But they
were really auditioning. This is all part of the shift show.
First they took it out of the judiciary, which constitutionally
is where it should have been in the beginning. But
somehow Nancy Pelosi favors the compromised, corrupt, congenital liar, and
he is a liar. Adam Schiff love to have him
(04:56):
come on this program, give him three straight hours. The
only guy I know colluding with Russians to get dirt
on Donald Trump, which one of the funniest tapes we've
ever played. We're not gonna play it now, but it's
their constitutional role to do. It's all right. They've they've
now gone down. They jumped out of the airplane a
long time ago. They've been wanting to do this. They
thought Muller was the Holy Growl that failed. Four investigations failed.
(05:20):
Trump Russia lie, lie, conspiracy theories, hoax, whatever you want
to call it. It's you know, for three since Donald
Trump has been elected, two days after, they begin their
quest for impeachment, impeachment and peach because we impeach them
in Peacham. I've played all of these tapes with all
of the dates, all through the end of twenty sixteen,
twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, all through twenty nineteen, and peach
(05:42):
and peach and peach. It's to the point it's like
everybody's nonplus by all of this, nor should you be
with the medium mob and the Democrats have not figured
out yet is the American people they knew they were
electing a disruptor. They knew it was different. They knew
he was not going to be any establishment like figure
(06:05):
that was not the presidency of the American people voted for.
They knew Donald Trump wasn't perfect. They knew that he
was a businessman. They knew he probably had a learning curve.
But whether they want to in the mob as they
feigned their outrage every second every day. I mean, even
though the mob in the media when they attacked me,
(06:27):
it is so old it's laughable. And I'm like, I
sent the email to Linda yesterday. One of these By
the way, the one publication that was called out as
liars stare asking me a bunch of ridiculous questions because
the special counsel they mentioned had in his name, Oh wow,
(06:47):
all the you know, text messages and I'm like, yeah,
so I do my job. The one thing I can
say after three years, we got it right. We've been
proven right. We've been vindicated. Everything we told you by
abuse about Hillary, about the corruption, about the emails, spying
on the president a campaign and president transitioning, all happen,
(07:10):
all proven and now we have a criminal investigation. Now,
now it's gonna start getting real for everybody. Nobody else
in the media did that. We are proud of the
work we have done both on this radio show and
on Hannity the television show on Fox News. We got
it right before everybody else. We had a great team
of investigative journalists busting their hump every day, and we
(07:33):
dug deep, and we found our sources, and we confirmed,
and we double confirmed, and we triple confirmed. Sometimes we
even held back confirmed information to quadruple confirm it to
make sure we were getting it all right. They were
getting it wrong. When are they ever gonna apologize? You
would think and maybe change their ways and maybe have
a little introspection of self reflection. You know, it's not
(07:56):
a bad thing every once in a while to look
inside and say, you know what, we messed up, we
got it wrong, we didn't get this right. We should
have done this differently. Maybe we are Maybe we do
have an agenda. Maybe there's a reason that they're chanting
ce and and sucks at us. Maybe maybe we should listen.
Maybe we can focus group and talk to people. Ask him, well,
(08:17):
what don't you like about our coverage? It's biased? Abusively biased?
You know. That's why I get such a chuckle out
of you know, all of the he got these uh
Jeff zucker stenographers over there led by Humpty Dumpty. I
don't have anything wrong with Humpty dumpty. You know, Linda,
I saw Humpty at the media I party. I heard
did you address him as such? Of course I did.
(08:37):
I his name, I call 'm Humpty, and he apparently
I didn't know he actually takes it personally. I'm so,
I don't know why he would. Yeah, and he's got
this I guess assistant. I don't know this guy. I
don't know who he is. Anybody comes up to me, No,
who No, that's anyway. His name's Oliver. I don't know
Oliver is somebody Oliver whoever Oliver is? And he goes, hey,
(09:01):
how are you? I'm like, Hi, it's me. I'm like,
have we met? Who are you? I don't know who
you are? But I get such a kick out of
It's like, maybe maybe Jason get that that audio racked up?
It's like and it's like, you're being stalked by these
people and it's an obsession about. All they care about
(09:23):
is to trash Fox. And all we do is keep
setting record ratings one after another. Thanks to all of you.
Thank you so much for making us another year number
one in all of cable news. The Hannity Program. I
can't thank you enough. And we're gonna double down and
work harder this year to do a better job and
to dig deeper and harder and give you the best
(09:46):
election coverage on radio and TV. That's what we do.
I live, eat, breathe, sleep this all week long. I'm
gonna try and shut down on the weekend completely and
recharge the battery. That's it, and we are committed doing this.
We love that you give us this microphone and that
camera every night. Thank you for that. So if you
got ratings that are like we've got three or four
(10:10):
times their ratings, sometimes even higher, you would think maybe
they'd be a little self reflective here, but no, they
just you know that noise, Jason. It's like, you got
these stalkers over there. They're so obsessed with us, and
I'm like, am I supposed to know who you are?
That's how irrelevant they are to me. Um, Like, you know,
(10:33):
fake news. Acosta comes out with a book, he mentions
me so that he'll get attention. Linda remembered that he
was on a bust with us. I never saw the guy.
I didn't remember what what country, what were we I
don't even remember, right, And we're with all our crew
guys and we're carrying all these cameras and so fake
(10:53):
news Acosta Sean Hannity didn't have the courage to say
I'm fake news to my face. Well, I said it
to Humpty this Oliver guy, assistant of Humpty guy. I
don't know who he is, and that's them, and I'm like,
so he tries to use my name and he's like
begging to be on the show. I'm like, go sell
your stupid fake news book on your network, but they
(11:15):
try to. Why would I have him on this show?
First of all, I want to insult the audiences intelligence
by putting these people on. And at the same time
period the great one, Mark Levin's book comes out, he
sells a half a million copies. In the same period,
the guy sold fourteen thousand. And I'm like, okay, you
(11:36):
of course you want to be on our show. Mark
doesn't need our help. We love Marks books. Marks a
great author, and you know he exposed the media mob
who who they are? But it's just funny to me. Anyway,
back to the Senate, I want to say this to
the Senators as we now get up and rolling on
all this Republican Senators do not land credibility to this despicable,
(12:01):
frankly unconstitutional, corrupt shift show where there was no due process,
no presumption of innocence. Of course, it's all political. Now
the Constitution allows for the House only to have an impeachment.
They've done it, okay, Now they will pick their house managers,
(12:24):
probably begins next Wednesday. They will then present their case.
The trial that is now in the hands of the
United States Senate. That's what the constitution calls for. They impeach.
They have the sole power to impeach. They've done it
for no reason. They did nothing that we've done in
the past. They offered nothing that New king Ridge offered.
Bill Clinton, I mean, and his lawyers. They did everything
(12:47):
in the worst way imaginable. So now they're saying, well,
we want you to retry it. You will want you
to do the impeaching of it because ours is pathetic. Okay,
that's not the constitutional role of the Senate. That's the
House's job. They say they have the evidence that they've
(13:07):
impeached the president for high crimes misdemeanors, bribery, high crimes misdemeanors. Okay.
The constitutional role in this trial of the Senate is
to see if in fact they present that case, not
to go and do the work for them. They only
had one fact witness, Ambassadors Somlin. Now they're saying to
the Senate, you got to bring in other witnesses. No,
(13:29):
you could have waited for the court to dec how
you chose not to. Now, their constitutional role in the
Senates is the trial Chief Justice Presiding John Roberts. The
only one fact witness, but pretty clear exculpatory for the president.
So to Republican senators, what I am saying to you,
make them show you why they impeached a president of
(13:52):
the United States, because they can't do it with any
evidence or any facts except opinions and hearsay witnesses, none
of which is admissible due to the federal rules of evidence.
For example, it is not the US Senate's role to
redo what was a corrupt political investigation hit job from
(14:14):
the beginning. Let the House managers, hopefully the cowardly, congenital, compromised,
congenital liar, shift and let them present it. Let them
bring in their one fact witness to repeat what he said,
or just read back the testimony. And your Republican senators,
all your job is to do is look at their case,
(14:36):
look at their evidence. Now, I don't want these Republican
senators getting weak and timid. You ought not constitutionally, if
you revere our constitutional system and coequal branches and specific
roles of the House and the Senate, then you ought
not give any credibility to what is a repulsive, corrupt
(14:58):
abuse of power political stunt, or you're as guilty as
the House is That's what this is about. They impeached.
Let them show you why when they fail, and they
will spectacularly then call the role and end the madness
for the sake of the country. That's their job, nothing more,
(15:19):
nothing less. It's not your job to go over. Well,
you didn't give us enough reasons to impeach. Let me
see if we can find some for you. They have
the power solely to do the impeachment. That's my message
to Republicans because a lot of them are weak, but
(15:39):
I am as serious as I can be. All Right,
they now get to present their case to all of
your Republican senators. Don't make me start giving out the
phone number, because you need to understand here their sole
constitutional role as they get to impeach. They have decided
(16:00):
in their in their insanity and psychosis and rage, to
abuse that power and to bring up what is a
non case and just politicize this because they just obsessed
and Nancy Pelosi needed to appease the radicalism rising within
her base. That is not what your role is in
(16:22):
the US Senate. Your role is also very very clear.
You are to run the trial. That's it. That's what
your job is. It is not your job at all
to redo their corrupt investigation. They only first they had
(16:43):
the well I guess, the audition of their big star guests,
and they had the guests. We don't had one fact
witness as rules of evidence, federals of evidence don't allow
here say our opinions. So they got one fact witness
as exculpatory things to say about Trump. Not your job.
They present their case, but let them bring in their
(17:03):
one relevant witness, Ambassador songoon Or read back his testimony,
and do not do let them fail spectacularly as they will.
That's your role starts Wednesday. Do your job, show fidelity
to the Constitution, and let's get this country growing and
(17:23):
moving forward again. All right, glad you with us twenty
five till the top of the hour. Thank you, Scott Shannon.
Two hundred ninety eight days until you we the people
get to shock the world again. We've launched on Hannity
dot Com. We're starting slow. We don't want to inundate
people with that much information yet. Whether I'm not being
condescending here, I'm just want to put out one specific thing.
(17:48):
We want to give you all the information you need
to be a good citizen. And if you don't know
when you need to register by, which is the first
step if you want to vote in the election. A
lot of states, it's March. We put it up on
Hannity dot com. Then we're gonna make the map quite interactive.
(18:09):
Your state, your district, early voting dates and early vote
ending and absentee voting, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. I think it's,
you know, just to make for a better electorate out there.
All right, let me go to the president last night.
I mean he was rocking. I mean he really was. First,
(18:30):
I want to play him because this ought to be
something he's not gonna The Trump doctrine is clear that
the president, he'll talk to anybody. He got beaten up
by the left in the media. They're even even trying
to taunt them today. Well, they still shot at our
troops and you're not gonna do anything trying to taunt
him into I got, you know, firing missiles back at
(18:50):
our end so that then they can criticize them for that.
It just can't win. No, he drew a line in
the sand. Trump doctrine. I'll talk to anybody. You want
to talk. Kim Jong un, Thanks, let's talk I will
give you my time. It's worth it. I got let's
see the remains of American soldiers back. You stop firing
missiles every other day over Japan and threatening the entire region,
(19:14):
and we also got some hostages back. Ended up being
a pretty good deal. President gave up time and he
talked to Kim Jong un. He's not gonna bribe him,
not gonna make a bad deal. President talked to him.
That's a good thing, he said. He talked to Putin
oh putin Russia again. Okay, why not? Said he talked
(19:34):
to the Taliban. I didn't know if I liked that one,
not much. But you know what, I don't see a
harm in talking to anybody. What's the big deal if
you're not gonna bribe them, which you can't because that
incurs aggression, and you draw the line as the president,
he didn't even take there. He did not take the
shot after they took the drones out. I don't know
if I would have had that restraint. That's hard. You're
(19:55):
take an American drone out of the It's an actor
war in my head. But he showed restraint. Now, in
other words, it wasn't the caricature that the media tried
to paint. And then when they took the tanker's hostage,
you know, I might have been thinking about retribution then too.
He didn't do it. And then he had another opportunity
when it took the Saudi oil fields out for no reason,
(20:17):
unprovoked attack to impact the world economy, the free flow
of oil at market prices. They didn't shoot back. Then
you killed an American. Okay, it's over. And the President
made it clear last night. If you dare to threaten
our citizens, you're gonna get hit. You do so a
great peril. Here's what he said. It's great power, not
to pursue conflict, but to really preserve and I mean
(20:42):
in the true sense of the word preserved peace. We
have this tremendous military and you know what that is.
That's really a great fighting force. But I hope we
never have to use it. I really do. You saw
an example. You saw an example of that a couple
of days ago. So we seek friends, not a race.
But if you dare to threaten our citizens, you do
(21:07):
so at your own grave para. And then the President
dealt with and by the way, this whole non bidening
stupid war powers effort. It's it's symbolic, it has no
teeth to it. It's meaningless. And by the way, you
have eight House Democrats defying Pelosi. The one I guess
I was most surprised at as Matt Gates on this.
(21:28):
I told him he was wrong on it, but he
didn't want to hear it from me. And then the
President says, well, you know he was elected. We can't
have five hundred and thirty five commanders in chief. We
only have one. We'll get to the war Paris back
in a second. And he's probably right. I don't trust
any of these Democrats. Would they have leaked the attack plans.
(21:48):
Here's what the President said. Here's a guy who slaughtered
and butchered civilians all over and and military whoever was
in his way. And we have Bernie and Nancy Pelosi,
we have them all. They're all trying to say, how
dare you take them out that way? You should get
permission from Congress. You should come in and tell us
(22:09):
what you want to do. You should come in and
tell us so that we can call up the fake
news that's back there and we can leak it. It's
the not only like, for example, we got new employment
numbers out today. Our USE six employment number is at
the lowest rate of all time. Our friend Jamie Dupre
(22:32):
pointed that out, and writing on a Cox News service,
he points out that the economy ended two nineteen on
a solid note. Labor Department reported one hundred and forty
five thousand jobs added in December. The nation's unemployment late
rate stays historically low three point five percent, and we
(22:53):
have another record. USE six unemployment rate, considered to be
the broadest measure of joblessness, went down to just six
point seven percent in December. That is the lowest point
ever in history, an all time low. When President Trump
took office, it was nine point three percent. It's been
kept by the labor departments in ninety four. And if
you look at the U six number, the U six
(23:17):
rate is the unemployment rate that includes discouraged workers who
have quit looking for jobs, part time workers who want
full time employment, and U six that rate is considered
by many economists, and I'm reporting now from a Vestapedia
is considered by economists to be the most revealing measure
of a country's unemployment situation, since it covers the percentage
(23:38):
of the labor force that is unemployed, underemployed, and discouraged employed.
So we've got the regular unemployment rate holding at a
fifty year low, the US sixth rate, considered by many
economists to be the most revealing measure of our unemployment,
plunging to brand new all time low. Oh well, Bernie
Sanders is out there saying, well, it's not true the
economy is bad. No, it's the president. Also, a federal
(24:03):
appeals court ruled the Trump administration can use the Defense
Department funds. Remember we had that big debate and I said, no,
he's not giving up. A lot of conservatives out there said, oh,
he gave in on the wall. No. I just said,
he just regrouped, and he realized he's not going to
get the money the way he wanted from Congress. Although
he got more money also for that recently, and he
reappropriated funds from the Defense Department and now got a
(24:26):
federal appeals court ruling that says, yes, he can do it.
Two to one ruling Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted
a stay of the Texas judge's order, which the administration
at appealed. That's good because that's another three point six
billion in construction. That means the four hundred miles that
they have as a goal by the election this year
(24:46):
should be accomplished. By the way, only twenty four percent
of Americans now want to identify themselves as a liberal.
Can you blame them? Do you want to be a
part of that lunatic crowd? Only twenty four percent? That's
pretty interesting now. Gallup today said conservatives lead at thirty
seven percent, moderates thirty four percent or more. Still identifies
(25:08):
Democrats over republic I'm not a Republican. I'm not even
a registered Republican. I am a conservative, and I remember
I had to There are a lot of I can
name them on the way do I start all of
a lot of the National Review online guys. They've never
adjusted to the fact that they got it wrong on Trump.
They all said he's never going to be governed as
(25:29):
a conservative, He's never going to keep his promises on judges,
well he kept them. Or cutting taxes kept that. Or
deregulation biggest in history. Or fighting to get the money
and building the wall. He's doing it. Or better trade deals,
freer and fairer. That's done. Check Japan, Mexico, Canada, European
Allies mini deal with China, hopefully after he gets reelected
(25:52):
another one. But the economy now, food stamps rolls declined
seven million, seven million fewer people on food stamps thanks
to this administration. Seven million more Americans now working. Wow,
the opposite of Biden Obama real success. You got literally
(26:14):
the unemployment number remember Department of Labor statistic numbers is
now almost at one hundred and sixty million Americans employee.
That's one hundred and it's a million eighty five year
to the year increase. That's the highest ever member lowest
labor participation rate will now a second record labor participation rate.
(26:38):
By the way, Wall Street Journal rank and file workers
they've got bigger raises. Oh why because they're in a
better position with the economy to fight for better wages
and better benefits and they're getting them. And it's now
the fourth week in a row that US joblo's claims
have fallen. That's a good thing. By the way, that
is a near post recession law. But again, stocks that's
(27:03):
never been my big barometer or load impacts. Everybody's you know,
flour one K plan that matters. It is historically low unemployment.
Then demographically, all Americans are being lifted up. Thank god,
our whole American family. Wage growth for workers now outpaced
wage growth for managers. That's awesome. Wage growth for those
without a four year degree now outpacing wage growth for
(27:26):
those with a four year college degree. Want everybody to prosper.
All the jobs in the energy sector, they're going to
be massive. We've got record low unemployment for African Americans.
Their wage growth now outpaces wage growth for any other
demographic Hispanic Americans. And don't think that these numbers are
an anomaly. Where you see the support for the president
(27:50):
thirty four and a half percent among African Americans thirty
four percent, thirty three percent, twenty eight percent, twenty two percent.
The lowest poll of eight was sixteen percent. That's twice
what the president had just in twenty sixteen alone. That
is a massive development. In other words, what I always said,
the Forgotten Men and Women told you, I bought that
John McNaughton painting. I'm not big into art, but I
(28:12):
like his stuff. Now, on the War Powers Act, just
a quick primer on this. We have our constitution. They
divide the war powers of the government between the executive,
legislative branches, President, commander in chief Armed Forces. Article two,
Section two. Congress has the power to make the declaration
of war race support for the armed forces. Anyway, this
has been a conflict. Go back to eighteen twelve. For
(28:34):
the next one hundred years, presidents asked for received congressional
declarations for war against England, Mexico, Spaining, Japan, European powers. Okay,
what evolved out of that is questions to the extent
of the president's authority to respond quickly, especially in this
day and age. In the Cold War, Harry Truman sent
troops to Korea part of the UN Force. He didn't
(28:56):
get a declaration of war. Kennedy sent troops to South Vietnam.
Congress ever, declared war. Years later, they passed the Tonkin
Resolution what it was called, authorizing then President Johnson to
use force in Vietnam. Seventy three. You get the War
Powers Act, which is nothing but an attempt to kind
of by Congress to reign in a president's ability to
(29:16):
be the commander in chief. I've always believed and believed
today it's unconstitutional, and a lot of it the outcrop
of the Vietnam War, and you know this president doesn't
want endless wars. That's the good thing. And by the way,
that was Congress was able to override a veto by
Nixon and when they enacted the War Powers Resolution. It's
(29:39):
sort of always this power struggle with the legislative and
executive branch. That's where you can seek remedy, like the
President did on the issue of executive privilege when it
relates to other issues. But Congress has declared war. Understand
under this resolution that they have that I believe the
(29:59):
war powers back to be unconstitutional. They declare war. Congress
has provided authority anyway. It also has in there a
provision that a president, once military action is taken, must
in writing within forty eight hours, report to the House
Speaker and the Senate pro tem and the president's reports
got to describe the circumstances necessitating military action, etc. Also
(30:22):
allows an additional thirty days of a president certifies in
writing such time in need of safely removing us from hostilities.
And that's all gone away. Now here is my point
on this because and I know we got the impeachment insanity,
and I know that that's all probably going to start
next Wednesday, and that it's going to be madness, But
(30:44):
this is important stuff for the country moving forward, because
we need a president to be a commander in chief.
You can't ask Nancy Pelosi and even some of the
Democrats recognize that as well in all of this, and
I just think if you look at it objective and
you understand the history of this, the president especially doesn't
want anything to do with this. Where were all the
(31:07):
war powered Democrats when Obama ordered hundreds of lethal drone strikes?
Now even the New York Times points out some of
this information because it was pretty disgraceful to watch the
medium mob going after Pompeo like his war criminal. When
he took out a guy that has killed hundreds of
Americans and been the leader of state sponsor terror around
(31:29):
the world, that was a good thing for the world.
And we had the shot he was there in Baghdad
to hurt Americans. We saw what was happening in our embassy.
We didn't want Benghazi to happen all over again. Where
was the imminent threat when Obama took out Bin Laden,
for example, unlike Solomani actively plotting against US troops at
the moment, and Laden was hiding the reason he had
(31:51):
the intelligence. You can thank George W. Bush and Dick
Cheney and enhanced interrogations. But the bottom line is when
Obama ordered the Navy's heels to invade a foreign country
and kill bin Laden, and thankfully he didn't make that call.
Thankfully we got the intelligence from KSM through enhanced interrogation.
Thank you, Gina Haspell, Jose Rodriguez. Meanwhile, both before and
(32:14):
after bin Laden's death, Obama had been ordering hundreds of
drone strikes. Let those targets pose no imminent threat whatsoever.
March nineteen. March twenty nineteen New York Times, the Obama
administration estimated over the two terms, drone strikes had killed
between sixty four and one hundred and sixteen civilians five
hundred forty two AF strikes outside major war zones. We'll
(32:35):
hang on a second. Well, what about the Aliwaukee case?
Because he used a drone strike to take that American
citizen out Amar Aliwaukee. Remember him came the first US
citizen targeted killed by US drone without quote due process, right,
so he's an enemy combatant. Obama did the right thing.
Here you go. I said it because it's true. So
(32:56):
he got the day the US forces killed Solomani. This
is where the Democrats head is an impeachment and this
they're all nuts. I do expect that the Judiciary Committee
is prepared to move very quickly. The President, based on
his past performance, will do everything he can to make
(33:18):
it not a fair election, and that is part of
what gives us the urgency to proceed with his impeachment.
The timing is really driven by the urgency and that
is national security issue. Yes, a national security issue, an
issue of our election integrity. This is not a rust
to judgment, it's a rust to justice. It is a
matter of fact that the president is an ongoing threat
(33:41):
to our national security and the integrity of our elections.
President Trump's wrongdoing and the urgent threat that his actions
present to our next election and our democracy. We have
overwhelming evidence that this president poses an urgent threat to
our elects, to our national security. Nothing could be more urgent.
(34:05):
When we talk about the speed of it is that
this is a continuing criminal enterprise that's going on. If
the urgency, it's a clear and present danger I think
to our democracy and urgency of the issue like we
have to act now, like it's now well, is that
part of the time to screw around is a clear
and present danger to our free and fair elections. Is
(34:26):
about urgency, all right? Our two Sean Hannity Show eight
hundred and nine for one, Shawn oh the urgency, the
urgency for impeachment Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, I guess we now
know that that's a lie, like the Democrats citing urgency
all along, and now only because Democrats have finally said
this is ridiculous. It never was urgent. Why are we
(34:50):
even here. I've got to give props to our next
guest because when he came out with the new Nest report,
there were Democrats, led by the we now know confirmed
compromise congenital liar Adam Schiff, that said that Congressman Devin
Newness was lying. He came out with his own report.
(35:10):
Now we know, based on the Inspector General's release, that
in fact, it was Adam Shift doing what he always does,
and that's lie because he was saying, oh, no, we
have all the evidence about Trump pressure collusion. It's all there,
We've got it all, it's all locked down, and we
didn't use the dossier Harley at all. And yet it
was as we reported, for a long time, the bulk
(35:33):
of information that was used for the FIES warrants. Anyway,
Congressman Devin Uness is with us. We have a lot
of other things to talk about. Congressman, props to you.
You took a lot of heat. You told the American
people the truth. You've now been vindicated. You were out
there alone at many times during this process, and you
(35:54):
know what, you held your ground and I applaud you
for it. Well, thanks Sean. On this very urgent Friday,
it's very urgent urgent Friday, is that what we're calling
gets Yeah, you know, it's two days until election Day,
that's it. I have urgency on that, believe it or not.
It's it's just incredible that we're sitting here with If
(36:14):
twenty nineteen couldn't be more, you know, you just couldn't
think it could be more ridiculous. But twenty and twenty
has started out more ridiculous for the for the Democrats,
and it's a lot of time it's just using what
they actually said in the past. And of course, you know,
they love to take any little thing that we may
(36:35):
have said just slightly wrong, and they'll blow it up
forever and the media will cover it, and they'll build
narratives on it. But because there's just no media in
this country, it's just become such just such a it's
just a joke. But I will say, you know, all
those times that I was standing alone, I really wasn't
(36:55):
because I had guys like you, well than Limbaugh, all
of your audience, Bongino. There's just so many great people
out there in the in the podcast and talk radio
world that we're standing right there with me. So I
want to I want to thank you for that. And
we're continuing to keep our head down and continuing to
work plow ahead because there's still a lot of shenanigans
(37:18):
going on, and we're in the process right now. She's
going to eventually, I guess we're going to vote on
this next week, send it over to the Senate so
they can begin the trial. But at the same time,
we haven't forgot about things like the ICIG he thought
that we went. I want to get into this. I
want you to explain this. I'd rather you do it
in your words. You said a lot of profound things
(37:40):
on with Laura Ingram earlier this week, and we haven't
had time to do the deep dive that you've done,
and THEE and the deep dives really just beginning. So
so remember there were all the questions about the form
that the whistleblower had filled out, whether or not he
had talked to Congress or not. There is also testimony
that the the ICIG Atkinson gave to the House Intelligence Committee. Surprisingly,
(38:07):
that's the only interview that hasn't been released publicly. So
clearly we've asked for it, they're not giving it. You know,
there's a reason why now we didn't kind of maybe
you can't tell us. Do you know the reason why?
I assume you do. I mean, look, I think it's
pretty simple. The stories don't add up. The story that
(38:28):
the IG told us, the story that Adam shiff and
his staff have told us, they don't jive. And of
course the whistleblowers the whistleblower complaint doesn't jive with the
source we assume was, you know, Lieutenant Colonel Vinman, if
you remember him. So people forget about this, and the
(38:48):
mainstream media probably thought that we forgot about this, and
I think even a lot of our conservative friends that
we forgot, meaning the House Republicans on the Intelligence Committee.
But we said at the time the ICI situation didn't
make any sense. The change in the forms didn't make
any sense, and we were going to come back to that.
We sent him a very detailed letter asking him. It
(39:10):
was really a preservation letter, so meaning that you know,
we have every intent to turn this over to the
Department of Justice if we see wrong. We want the evidence.
He wrote us a letter back on October eighth, didn't
really answer the questions other than to tell us, yeah,
we just made some mistakes. But you know what, you
(39:32):
have to provide evidence. If you're a fool and you're
claiming stupidity, then you have to prove it. You have
to prove it with emails. We need to know, well,
this is important or changed. So if if, if Michael
Atkinson has this information, why doesn't he provide all the documentation,
(39:52):
Because as you said in your interview, you essentially have
to either believe he's in on it or he's incompetent.
Because the bottom line is that this focus is on
the changing whistleblower forms to remove the requirement of firsthand
knowledge as a condition of urging concern. When did that
actually happen and do we know exactly why it happened? Yeah,
(40:15):
and that's the thing Sean about. So your audience understand,
he's either in on it, like I said, or he's incompetent.
And if he's incompetent, that's fine. It happens in government.
There's a lot of a lot of a lot of
areas of incompetence within the bureaucracy. I think we're well
aware of that, but there would be evidence of the incompetence, right.
(40:37):
So essentially, what he has told us in his letter
to us on October eight is that what was on
the form that you needed to have firsthand knowledge was
in fact not the policy. That the form was wrong.
So you know, we are going to be asking and
over the weekend we're finishing draft seen the letter today,
(41:01):
We'll finish touching it up over the weekend and likely
release it Sunday or Monday, and it's going to have
it's going to basically read like a subpoena of all
of the information that we need to support and his
agencies incompetent, if they indeed were incompetent. Well, I think
(41:24):
I think you pretty much have nailed it, which is
why this hasn't been released. I mean, that is the
stunning part of all of this, and you know, we
have to get to the bottom because we've now lived
through what I think is three of the most difficult
years in the country's history, and that of course being
this whole Russia collusion madness and what turned out to
(41:47):
be a hoax and a fraud, an abuse of power,
and everything you said in your memo and what February
of twenty eighteen, everything you said about the FISA application
being the bulk of information used in the FISA warrants
unverifiable Steele was. They warned everybody that Steele had an
(42:07):
agenda and that Hillary paid for it, and they hit
it all from the FISA Court. I'm still am amazed
the FISA Court isn't up in arms and demanding more faster. Well,
you saw that the judge who was in charge during
all of this stepped aside. So you know, that's a
whole other problem that we still are investigating, is that,
you know, we had notified the FISA Court of these
(42:29):
problems and then when on her way out late last month,
and we're glad that they acknowledge that there's problems now,
but in fact that's just another lie. I mean that
the court has to answer for why they ignored what
we had told them they were Remember, it wasn't like
they didn't have the evidence. They had the full fizes.
(42:49):
They actually had more information and more details than we
than we had at the House Intelligence Committee because we
remember we had all the redacted FISA information. They had
all the information in front of them. So they were
told by us. They were warned by us. How is
it possible that they just now had an epiphany after
(43:10):
the IG came out? You know, they would have been
better off just to stay back in the day, you know,
a year ago or year and alf ago and just say, hey,
we're we have concerns about this, We're going to work
with the IG. They could have said something that to
come out at the end of the year like I said,
and pretend that now something's wrong. Just doesn't that it
just doesn't pass the smell test, just like the ICIG
(43:33):
changing the forms only after the media and the House
Republicans confronted him with the problem with the forms on
the whistle blower. It really is amazing stuff. Where do
you think bar and Dorham are now going? Because look,
I think Michael Horrowitz I didn't agree with his conclusion
about it not being political, but he said he was
basing it only off the data that in the bubble,
(43:56):
that he was confined he only could work within the
Department of Justice and do the investigation only within that arena.
We now know that the investigation of Durham, the prosecutor,
and the Attorney General Barr has gone worldwide. It is
now officially a criminal investigation. Grand juries can be convened,
(44:18):
indictments could be issued, I would imagine they are. Where
do you see that going? Well, the big, the big
issue for people to remember is that Horowitz and we
said this, remember all the time, Remember everybody was like
awaiting the Horrowitz report, and I think I went on
your show many times and I said, look, I would
just want to caution everyone the IG has very limited power.
(44:40):
And what we see with the report is indeed they
do have very limited power, and that uh, you know,
and with the latest that's happened, there's just there's just
a problem, you know, as you as as you know,
getting evidence because Horwitz didn't have the subpoena power. So
this investigation, Horwitz really only was able to evaluate what
(45:01):
happened after July thirty first and with the opening of
Crossfire Hurricane. He had no window into what happened before that.
I don't know exactly why he had no window at all.
I don't know if that was the parameters that Rod
Rosenstein at the time gave him. But you know, clearly
it makes no sense that the same what I like
(45:24):
to call the spy ring, the same spy ring that
was actively involved and used in the FISA against Carter
Page that we're going up against Popatoplus and Page and others.
It's the same people that were involved in the spring
and early summer way before the opening a Crossfire Hurricane.
And that really is what we want Durham to get
to the bottom of, is when and how did this start?
(45:47):
And also be able to interview the other people that
were outside of the Department of Justice and the FBI
that were involved in this, most importantly the Clinton campaign operatives, well,
I mean the Hoober report. I don't even know what
Hoober has done. Um, I want to get to that.
But are you confident are you confident that those that
(46:09):
were worn but and went ahead with premeditated fraud on
a court that they will be held accountable Because James
Colemey signed three of those buys. The applications that, yeah,
so you're not. I mean, I know your your audience.
I want to I just want to get everybody ready
for what I think we can expect for sure and
(46:31):
what we need to happen. The most important thing. We'll
pick it up there, stay right. That's a good tease.
By the way, what should happen and will it happen?
Devin Nuness is with US ranking member House Intel Committee.
Quick break will come back on the other side, Greg Jarrett,
Jeff Lord coming up, and at the bottom of the
half hour, we have an update on Solomany and you
(46:53):
know they did shoot down that jet and who did it,
why did they do it? Was in an accident? That's
all straight ahead right as we continue. Congressman Devin Nunas
is with US California's twenty second district. All right, so
we know what they did. It's now been detailed. We're
going to learn a lot more. I want to know
whether there was the outsourcing of intelligence gathering to circumvent laws,
(47:15):
which would implicate guys like perhaps Brennan and Clapper. But
do you think, well, what should happen to those that
committed premeditated fraud on the court and other things, and
the illegal spying and what will happen well one minute,
by the way, oh one minute. Wow. So the bottom
line is we need Durham to get to get to
(47:35):
get the full story like how this started. There's so
many players out there that we don't know who or
what they are. Like, let's just start with Joseph Mifson.
He's the guy that knew about Hillary Clinton's emails writers
supposedly did it, talked to Popadopolis about it. You know,
why on earth did you know? Mohler and the FBI
never track down you know, we can, we can, we
(47:57):
can track down and kill Solomony, we can kill Ben Laden,
but we can't find like a multisee diplomat name mips
It that supposedly had all these emails that we were
investigating the President of the United States over. Nobody ever
finds the guy. It's just unexplainable. And so that's where
I think the difference between why you saw bar and
Durham both come out at the outset of the release
(48:18):
of the Horrowitz report and said, look, there's more information
that we need here, and that's what they're talking about
how did this investigation begin. Well, I'll stop this and
end this interview where we started, which is we owe
you a debt of gratitude. Congressman, you dug deep. You
found the truth. You told the American people the truth.
You've now been vindicated, and the congenital liar, who we
(48:40):
know is compromised. You're pursuing that truth and we applaud
you for it. Thank you. Congressman Devin Nunez eight hundred
nine for one. Seawan told free telephone number there as
a mistake by the Iranians. Do you think they assumed
this was some sort of US military plane. Well, I
have been briefed on at Wolf and the Intelligence Committee,
so I'm not really at liberty to say. But if
(49:01):
what is being projected is true, this is yet another
example of collateral damage from the actions that have been
taken in a provocative way by the President of the
United States. Well, there's this type of miscalculation, let's say,
on the part of the Iranians, more likely now to
result it even heightened tensions. I would say that the
(49:24):
continued saburbs excuse me, the continued saber rattling by the
President doesn't help us. I also feel strongly that by
taking out General Slamani that that did not somehow outmd
US of any of the planning that the Iranians would
be doing, or that the Shia militia that is throughout
(49:46):
the region is also engaged in doing. And we also
have the leader of the Shia militia who was assassinated
as well, that maybe the subject of some efforts to
seek revenge. Sector Pompeo, do you believe that the Iranians
shot down the Ukrainian International Airways plane? And if the
(50:09):
Iranians shot that plane down, will there be consequences. We
do believe that it's likely that that plane was shot
down by an Iranian missile. We're going to let the
investigation play out before we make a final determination. It's
important that we get to the bottom of it. I've
been on the phone. I was on the phone with
President Zelenski just before I came here. I was on
(50:29):
the phone with my Canadian counterpart. They were working to
get their resources on the ground to conduct that thorough investigation.
We'll learn more about what happened to that aircraft, and
when we get the results of that investigation, I am
confident we and the world will take appropriate actions in response.
All right. That was Secretary of Stake Mike Pompeo. This
(50:51):
whole issue of the plane ought to be something that
we pay attention to because you know, you've got the Iranians.
How are the spreading lies about the jet liner crash? Yeah,
but they didn't want to give over the black box
in the Boeing seven thirty seven. I know the seven
thirty seven has had problems this Ukrainian flight. We know
one hundred and seventy six people died as a result
(51:13):
of this. It didn't make sense to any one person
I know that knows aviation that this plane just drops
out of the sky. That's not the way it would happen.
It's also Canada, their Prime Minister Trudeau saying their country
has intelligence from their own agencies. Yeah, the Iranians did this.
Even the mainstream media now reporting what our pentagona Secretary
(51:35):
of State, and everybody else has said. Apparently the Ukrainian
Foreign Minister is saying at a press conference that Iran
is fully cooperating or is now beginning to fully cooperate,
and will give them access to the black box. Pompeo says, yeah,
likely Iranian missile. Anyway, here with us as doctor Tom Stalkup.
(51:58):
He is a science advisor. It's also co producer of
TWA Flight eight hundred, it's an Epics Channel original documentary.
He's also a private pilot, and he's here to discuss this. Sir,
thank you, doctor stal Cup, thanks for being with us.
I'm fascinated by aviation. I have a lot of friends
that are so into planes. You have no idea, and
(52:21):
you know, I don't know why anyone would get in
these little trainer planes and ever fly with them, because
they scare the daylights out of me. I prefer a
bigger airplane, but they have a passion for it. And
I talked to these people a lot. I've learned over
the years about spatial disorientation, instrument training. I mean, I
have a fundamental knowledge of avionics and how sophisticated they are.
(52:43):
But everybody that I know that knows anything about aviation
saw this in the beginning as no way this was
an accident. Well, I sure it seemed suspicious. Those early
videos of a plane on fire still gliding forward and
certainly seemed odd to me. And I guess now the
new York Times is reporting that they actually have a
video of the missile hitting in So that's pretty you know, pretty,
(53:05):
that's a lot of confirmation. And I also they might
have some satellite data that's interesting, and so it all
seems to point too. Yeah, a missile, probably not the
same type of missile that they shot at in the
Iraqi basis because those were land to land missiles. It
was a most likely and air defense system that was
probably on high state of alert after they started launching
(53:26):
that attack against the rock. Okay, so let's talk about
the if a plane, let's say both engines blow out.
And we've had some problems with the seven thirty seven.
You can discuss if you want, but if both engines
go at eight thousand feet, a plane just doesn't drop
out of the sky. Explain that, Oh no, sure, you
still have momentum, you still have your kinetic energy, that's
(53:48):
the speed you're going, and you can use gravity. You
can turn your plane into a glider. I think it
was Captain Sully that did a wonderful job when that
just happened and birds put out both engines, he had
no power at all. He used his plane as a glider,
landed perfectly in the Hudson. It was amazing. So that's
what can happen. If your landing gear still works, you
got an airport insight, you go there. If there's a
golf course, you go wherever you can. This plane had,
(54:10):
you know, it's definitely something more significant. There was a
there was a flames you know, seen on the videos,
and so this was more than just an engine failure.
This was a fire. And from what I've seen, I
don't know if that video is the same one that
the New York Times it obtained, but a video I
saw last night seemed to show a bright flash and
then a fire. Um, you know, a trajectory of something
(54:31):
that consistent with with with an aircraft, you know, heading
horizontal orientation, and so that that that whatever that was,
that fire that was on the engine, the engine failure,
it looks like it was preceded by a high velocity
of detonation of some sort. Could that have happened by accident?
I don't think so, because it's not it's not part
(54:52):
of the same missile battery that was used to take
to no to fire into right, you know, just taking
about it from from what I'm talking about, like service
to air missiles right right, exactly, this is this is
an air defense's enough. If you're launching missiles, you start
this conflict, well you better start turning on your air
defenses at the same time because you might get hit back.
And so this is probably a misidentification, and unfortunately it's
(55:17):
just terrible to see these over one hundred and seventy
lives lost like that. But yeah, it appears, you know,
I don't think it would have been the same type
of missile as I said earlier, Probably some air defense
system that just locked onto what they you know. Unfortunately
it was misidentified as either that or just some kind
of glitch just just caused the launch of things that
should not have launched, And it might not have been
(55:37):
misidentification at all, might have been just somebody just messed up.
If I was in the defense department, or if I
had any saying things and I was asked to assess
any future potential terrorist threats, one of the things I
think I'd worry most about are these service to air missiles,
because if I'm wrong, tell me I am. That seems
(55:57):
like something that might be able to be muggled in
maybe across the southern border. That we now know as
being fixed finally or even manufactured in some way in
the United States, and their heat seeking missiles, and god
forbid they you know, one day we wake up and
somebody decides they're going to be in five separate big
(56:18):
airport locations and they're going to try and take out
commercial airliners. Would that be something that we should fear,
because I think it is. Well, I don't know about that.
I mean, I know that when we went into Afghanistan,
some of our Stinger missiles went missing, and there was
a fear at the time that some of those heat
seeking surface here missiles. A minute, The Stinger missiles is
how they Afghanis beat the Soviets back in the eighties.
(56:41):
They were provided by us, that's right, and some of
them I guess got misplaced and in the wrong hands,
and we feared that they may use those against us.
In the fact, that was one of the theories that
was a prophet early on in the twa flighted hundred investigation,
and it might have been a terrorist type missile. Now
I don't particularly subscribe to that. It seems to me
(57:02):
that this aircraft that I study was was a bit
out of the range and way off shore, if you
launched it from shore when they're even reached the plane. So,
but we want to talk about that crash. Um, it's
just it's things that happened. I mean, you can think
back to M A seventeen over Ukraine. Um, that was
that was a mistake, you know, a misidentification the Iranian
(57:22):
airbus over the Persian Gulf. Um, And in fact there
was an Africa. They did shoot some stingers I believe,
at an Israeli jet and they that was a terrorist
attack and that was foiled luckily. I'm not exactly sure how,
but either the missiles missed or the Israeli had some
kind of classified defense system on their jet. But that
(57:43):
that actually happened, I believe that was in the early
two thousands. But yeah, they there have been there is
precedence for a Stinger missiles being used, but I do
not believe that this was a stinger or a heat
seeker that hit this plane. Although it did hit the engine,
so it and that is consistent with a heat seeker.
But we just don't know this point. I can't speculate
what type of missile is at this time. Well, we
(58:03):
don't know, but I'm just talking about the fear of it.
For example, if I just maybe there's an opportunity to
sort of educate people to understand explain how, for example,
the redundancy in the cockpit. You know, we've all had
the experience. Yeah we're gonna be delayed and you're sitting
on the tarmac. Oh, because there is some redundant whatever
(58:27):
that light that went on and now we've got to
check the whole system and maybe we have to replace
a part or whatever. That's all good because you have
all these jets, commercial and otherwise taken off every single day,
and we's been proven over and over again air travel
is safer than getting in a car. So my question is,
you know, these planes in terms of avionics, safety, redundancy,
(58:51):
how safe are these planes really there? Because every pilot
I know tells me these things can pretty much almost
take off and land themselves and the need for pilot.
It's as like with Sully landing in the Hudson. Yeah,
I think we're moving towards that. Um, it's it's it
is amazing that self driving car is self driving planes.
But yeah, it's safety. It's safer than driving air car. Now,
(59:12):
the planes that I fly are smaller and they're not
as safe what do you fly statistically, But the ones
you get in at the airport, they're very safe. And
in fact, they have, you know, like you said, a redundancy.
They have you know, more than one altimeter, you know,
more than one air speed indicator. You know, if one fails,
you still got another one. There is hit in front
(59:33):
of you. And that's the thing. Now. For example, once
you put in where you want a land, how long
after a pilot takes off, assuming he's doing it all manually,
gets up in the air, how far? How what is
the altitude necessary before you can turn on the autopilot
and explain how far you would be able to fly
(59:54):
that to the location that you determined and would the
plane almost land itself? I bet I hear that they
can do that. Now listen, I that's what I've heard that. Yeah,
that's true. I am not a commercial pilot. I'm a
private pilot, so that's not something I have ever done. However,
I have heard that that can be done. And you know,
even if the engines fail, like you said before, once
(01:00:15):
you're at altitude. That's why when you take off of
the airport, you want to go as high as quickly
as possible to as highhouse dude as possible, because you know,
that's the safest place to be because you can all.
You know, the higher you are, the more airports you
could glide to if there was a failure. Have they
made good strides in terms of the fuel efficiency of
these newer jets that are coming out. What do you
think of the Airbus three eighty versus bowings? What's bows seven?
(01:00:37):
What eighty seven? I don't even know what the they're
compatible plane is. Yeah, I'm not certain about that. I
think what they started getting away from was the seven
forty seven of those wide body planes. The wider the body,
the more resistance you have, and so you're fighting against
air resistance. So I believe switched philosophies. They're going with
a longer range, narrower body jets, and I think that's
(01:01:00):
the way of the future, more jets and narrow bodies
and more efficient jets that that definitely do go much
further than the seven forty seven were capable of, basically
due to physics, just because of the you know, the
wider you are, the more forces you're you're fighting against,
and so you have a nikuld have in a very
very narrow jet, in a very long jet, and you
(01:01:20):
know that that would be the most efficient way to fly,
and I believe that's what they're moving towards. He listen,
this is so informative. I'm just fascinated by it because
it is so safe and we have the redundancy, and
I'm thankful for that and grateful to the great engineers
Boeing and elsewhere that can keep commercial airlines safe the
way they do. Anyway, thank you, doctor Stalcup. We appreciate
(01:01:40):
you being with us, very informative eight hundred and nine
four one sewn. You want to be a part of
the program. Top of the hour. Back to our top story.
The president yesterday speaking and looks like impeachment trial begins Wednesday.
We'll check in with Jeff Lord, Greg Jarrett, Daniel Okbari,
the author of Honor Killing. Remember he was imprisoned by
Iranian officials and tortured. He'll tell us his story. Let's
(01:02:04):
get a quick call in here. We'll final half hour
of the show. We'll get some more calls in as
well as we say hi to Nicole. She is in Philly.
That is Linda's old stomping grounds. How are you, Nicole,
Happy New Year. I'm hanging in there, regardless of my
area of affiliation. How are you today, I'm good, Thank you,
very very much good. So my main question is rewinding
(01:02:29):
back till last week. I was wondering were there events
leading up to the embassy attack, because it just kind
of seemed like it came out of nowhere. And I
didn't know if you had any insight or you know,
explanation as to what, if anything occurred prior to that happening,
because we were, you know, listening to all these articles
(01:02:51):
of impeachment floating around over and over and then so
much just seemed like, out of nowhere, our embassy is
being attacked over in Iraq. So if you could well listen,
the reason is because they've been getting away with everything else. Look,
the sanctions the President has put in place for Iran
are very simple. It has impacted the Iranian economy, and
(01:03:12):
our production of oil has also impacted the lifeblood of
the world economy and the price of energy worldwide. We
now have we now determine our destiny more than they do.
The straights horror moves are less geopolitically strategically important to
the United States, because we're now the biggest producer of
oil in the world and now a net exporter of energy.
(01:03:34):
So the good news is is that they're doing this
to get the world's attention. We put up with a
certain amount that we said we're done, You're done, and
that was it. All right, News round Up, Information Overload.
On a Friday Hannity nineties, we got an awesome show
straight ahead bread power. Not to pursue conflict, but to
really preserve and I mean in the true sense of
(01:03:56):
the word preserved peace. We have this tremendous military and
you know what that is. That's really a great fighting force.
But I hope we never have to use it. I
really do. You saw an example. You saw an example
of that a couple of days ago. So we seek
friends not on race, but if you dare to threaten
(01:04:18):
our citizens, you do so at your own grave peril.
So they want me so you know, these are split
second decisions. You have to make a decision. So they
don't want me to make that decision. They want me
to call up maybe go over there, let me go
over to conquer. So come on over to the White House,
let's talk about it. When can you make it. Well,
(01:04:40):
I won't be able to make it today, sir, how
about let's say a couple of days. Oh sure, come
on over. Now we gotta call. We heard where he was,
we knew the way he was getting there, and we
had to make a decision. We didn't have time to
call up nan see who is not operating with a
(01:05:03):
full deck. Now they want us to call. Can you
imagine calling crooked Adam Chiff? He's so crooked, he's so shifty. Chief,
Say gee, Adam, how you doing. Listen, we have the
world's number one terrorists killed thousands and thousands of people.
(01:05:24):
We'd like to set up a meeting so we can
discuss his execution. Would would you be willing to me? Well,
I won't be able to make it this week. Well,
you know he's traveling fast. We got him lined up
at him, you little pencil neck. All right, news, round up,
information overload the president last night Toledo, Ohio. Maybe my
(01:05:48):
favorite line of the night, Um great watching the pencil
neck in genital liar compromised Adam Schiff be the house manager.
You can't pick a better person, Nancy. You go for
that anyway? The President laying it all out and you
see the reaction. Now, this is a phenomenal thing because
we're two hundred and eighty nine days away from this
(01:06:11):
is the choice selection of your lifetime. I know you
hear that every election, this is it America hangs in
the balance. The only problem is this time it's true.
Every Democrat has the worst foreign policy ideas I've ever heard.
You know, the idea that you know we have quid
pro quote Joe and he believes in bribing maniacal mullahs
(01:06:36):
and Iran with one hundred and fifty billion in cash.
Should frighten you. There's not one Democratic presidential candidate that
understood the need to take out Solomani in spite of
all the Americans that he tortured and brutally murdered, on
top of all the terror that he has been funding
and orchestrating around the world, Iran being the number one
(01:06:57):
state sponsor of terror. He is the guy that was
the second most powerful person in Iran. He led the effort.
Now what was he doing in Baghdad? We had now
the president put up with a lot. President put up
with tankers being taken hostage, impacting the lifeblood of the
world's economy. He put up with two drones being taken
(01:07:19):
out of the air, unmanned drones. He put up with
the attack on Saudi oil fields unprovoked, why designed to
impact the free flow of oil at market prices, But
then they killed an American contractor and hurt American soldiers,
followed by an attack on our embassy. He was not
(01:07:39):
going to have is not going to be the president
of Benghazi two as MSDNC, the Conspiracy Channel had their
some of their hosts saying, oh Benghazi two, Trump's Benghazi's
breaking out, and so the President let all these other
incidents go. The Iranians, whether they tried to say face
(01:08:00):
or they're incompetent, it's I don't know. I can't I
don't know the minds of evil Mullah's. But the President's
clear they're not going to get nuclear weapons. And if
they kill Americans, there's my line in the sand. But
here's your off ramp. You want it, take it. If not,
we're gonna bomb the living hell out of you. And
know when I'm putting boots on the ground, and that
is called piece through strength. I'm guessing the Iranians are
(01:08:23):
scared to death of what Donald Trump would do next.
I'm guessing they got a loud, clear message that this
can't happen here to help sort through all of this,
and it looks like impeachment starting next Wednesday. Jeff Lord,
Associate political director in the administration of Ronald Reagan. Greg
Jarrett also with us all through the bestseller witch Hunt. Guys,
(01:08:45):
welcome back, Glad you with us. Jeff, you worked with Reagan,
you worked under Reagan. Piece through strength, trust by trust,
and verify. Mister Gorbachev, We'll tear down this wall and
all of the above, and it worked. Building up our
military worked, I think as great as the accomplishment will
go down as strategic defense. And I've said that since
(01:09:06):
nineteen eighty eight. Yeah, absolutely, Sean that the thing that
I find so remarkably similar between Ronald Reagan and Donald
Trump they both came from outside the establishment. I mean, one,
as we all know, was a television actor and movie
actor for decades before being elected governor of California. The
other was a you know, successful businessman who then becomes
(01:09:29):
a television star himself. Neither of them had a seriously
political background in the way that so many people in
Washington do, and the town just went crazy about Reagan's election.
They could not abide him. They were they were, I mean,
you know, it was the same thing you hear with Trump,
the rise of fascism, the dark Knights are coming. They
(01:09:51):
compared him to Hitler, the ku klux Klan was going
to be let loose. I mean, some of these things,
and I've gone back and looked to write about it today.
Remarkable that they are the same. But Reagan persisted. He
had this vision, and he turned out to be right,
and he won the Cold War. My favorite line was
he said somebody asked him, one of the staff asked
(01:10:13):
him what his view of the Cold War was, and
he says, we win, they lose that which I mean
that is and he did make a little mistake. It
was supposed to be a joke. Bombing begins in five
minutes before a radio address. Greg Jarrett to me, if
you if you don't see that everything that the Democrats
have tried to say about Donald Trump is inaccurate. The
(01:10:36):
caricature that they've been painting all of this time has
been false, because I think he showed way more restraint
than I could have ever shown. As it relates to
the Mullahs in Iran, and we know, you know what,
he's not going to give him one hundred and fifty
billion in cash and other currencies. And one other thing.
Greg This president took a lot of heat because he said, sure,
(01:11:00):
I'll meet with Kim Jong un, I'll talk to anybody.
I'll talk to Putin, I'll talk to the Melis, I'll
talk to that Laban, but I'm not giving them anything.
He gave nothing but time to the North Korean dictator,
and we got a lot of benefits out of that right,
and he didn't hand over to around one point five
(01:11:20):
one hundred and fifty billion dollars. Jeff Lord's great piece
today that everybody should redraws a brilliant comparison between Trump
and Reagan, and Reagan is actually the template for Trump,
and it's very simple. We will seek peace through strength,
and we will exercise that Milo's terry strength only when
(01:11:41):
absolutely necessary. And it was Trump who said to around,
if you kill an American, you're crossing a red line.
You will pay for it. And that's what happened. They
killed an American contractor on a base and Trumpet shown
remarkable restraint. They're downing the the US drone, the attack
on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, firing rockets
(01:12:06):
into installations housing American personnel. But when they cross that
red line, Trump took action, and I think the Mullahs
are now trembling, and the hypocrisy of all of this
is really striking. You know, Barack Obama used drones of
five hundred and seventy one times to take out terrorists,
(01:12:28):
and Nancy Pelosian Democrats never once complained he initiated strikes
on Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Libya, Pakistan. Pelosian Democrats never complain.
Trump takes out a notorious terrorist who killed six hundred
and eight Americans, and there's mass hysteria and just like Trump,
(01:12:54):
just like Reagan back in nineteen eighty and I was
a young lawyer back down living and working in Samford, Cisco.
I remember everyone said, oh my god, the election of
Reagan will mean World War three. And of course we
heard several days ago that Trump strike against Solomony will
initiate World War three. That's nothing but irrational hysteria, all true.
(01:13:20):
All you know, I'm trying to try and get into
the minds of those people that would allow the Iranians
and I'll ask both of you the same question. Jeff,
you can answer first, to shoot down our drones, to
take in the very narrow straits of Hormos, We're about
a third of the world's oil passes through every day,
(01:13:41):
take tankers, hostage bomb Saudi oil field's totally unprovoked. Then
attack our embassy and also kill American contractors and all
the Americans that Solomony directly killed in Iraq, and that
we're not going to take the shot when he's on
the tarmac in Baghdad. I'm trying to understand why you
(01:14:03):
would think it's a bad thing to do that. Jeff,
I don't understand the mindset like I can't. It's inexplicable
that anyone would give one hundred and fifty billion dollars
in cash another currency to Molo's in Iran Sean. You know,
I've been thinking about this myself, and here the only
conclusion I can come to is that in our lifetime
we have seen the Democratic Party go to the far left.
(01:14:26):
I mean, if you have any any thoughts about why
they would sound like they're the Iran Iranian propaganda minister
or something, think back to Jane Fonda sitting there in
North Vietnam behind a machine gun of the North Vietnamese.
It was being used to take American pilots out of
the sky. This business of siding with America's enemies has
(01:14:50):
been going on for most of my and your adult lifetime.
This time it's the Iranians, and it's pathetic. I mean,
it's truly disgraceful. But you can begin to realize here
that no matter what the situation, these people are going
to take the other side of the argument and carry
it out in ways that lots of people think are
(01:15:12):
just seriously unpatriotic. They did this when Ronald Reagan sent
troops to Grenada to save those American kids in the
medical school down there after a communist coup. They were
crazed about this kind of thing. This happens with them reflexively,
and I don't know that there's any way that it's
going to stop. Tend to agree. We'll get to Greg's
Andrew on the other side, Greg Jarrett, Jeff Lord eight
(01:15:33):
hundred and nine for one sean. You want to be
a part of the program. And as we continue, Jeff Lord,
Greg Jarrett, I wanted to ask you, Jeff can't explain it.
It's inexplicable to me, Greg Jarrett, how is it possible
If you can explain, how is it possible to think
bribing mullah's that chant death to America and want to
wipe Israel off the map giving the money is a
(01:15:55):
good idea. Well, two things, it's the easy way out.
I mean, it's just easier to pay cash than to
take strong, aggressive action to stop terrorists. And second of all,
it is a part of the Trump derangement syndrome. If
Obama does it, it's great. If Trump does it, it's horrible.
And that's just stupid. Well, yeah, it is. You know,
(01:16:18):
I think we now have the emergence of it's Trump doctrine.
I'll talk to anybody. A lot of people said that's outrageous.
Why would you talk to anybody? And I'll also, I
want peace. I'll even take a little bit of your crap,
you know, the drones and the ship's taken hostage, etc.
But you're not going to kill Americans. That's our line
in the sand. And if you do, you're gonna pay
(01:16:40):
a big price. Simple, right, Jeff. I like that because
I don't want boots on the ground. We can't send
kids to war anymore because they always politicize it in
the swamp and then we say, never mind, so we
might as well not go there and just bomb the
daylights out of them like we did with ISIS. Now
we have new technology. Right, You've been making this point
repeatedly and you're absolutely dead on correct. Once they get
us into a war, then all hell breaks loose and
(01:17:02):
they protest and they're in the streets and all this
kind of thing. It's just it's just simply not worth
an American kid's life to do this. And notably the
irony here. I don't know how much attention this has gotten.
The lone American contractor that would kill was killed was
a legal Muslim American immigrant m And what's your reaction,
(01:17:24):
Greg Jarrett? Yeah, I mean it's it's a great point.
You know, your argument is really Trump's argument, and that
is that this is very simple. If you attack our people,
if you jeopardize our national security, I have a right
as president under the Constitution to take aggressive action. It
(01:17:49):
has always been that way. Presidents have been doing it
for decades in my lifetime. And Democrats, you know, when
Trump does it, Democrats seemed to gloss over into this
mindless hysteria. It's this reflexive Pavlovian response that whatever Trump
(01:18:10):
does must be wrong, we must condemn it, regardless of
whether it makes absolute common sense to do it. Guys,
I want to thank you both, Jeff Lord and Greg Jarrett.
Gotta take a break here we are. When we come back,
of course, it's Friday. Our best sound of the week
coming up. Your calls and much more. Eight hundred and
ninety four one Sean. You want to be a part
(01:18:32):
of the program. Also, Daniel luck Barry's going to join
us with more intel information about what life in Iran
is like. He knows because he was tortured and tried
and imprisoned in Bulgaria, because he converted to Christianity, and
he knows what the meaning, the real meaning of the
killing of Solomoni is and what it should mean to
the people of Iran. That's straight ahead. In the initial
(01:18:56):
hours after the missile attacks on Aliside and Air Bill,
it was believed that Iran may have taken steps to
avoid US casualties. But then the chairman of George Chiefs,
Mark Miller, came out, Secretary of Defense came out, other
officials came out to say no, these missiles were intended
to kill Americans. If it was Iran's intent to kill Americans,
(01:19:18):
does that not deserve some sort of response. I mean,
if somebody who takes a shot at you and they
don't hate you simply because you duck, does that mean
that they weren't trying to kill you. So I'll look
all the photo the Department of Defense on the details,
but there's no doubt in my judgment, as I observed
the Iranian activity in the region that night, they had
the full intention of killing US forces, whether that was
(01:19:39):
our military folks or diplomatic folks who were in the region.
And I am confident that the response to the President
taken as appropriate. President said, we don't want war. We
want Iran to behave like a normal nation. The reason
that the Secretary of Treasure are here this morning is
to continue this campaign, our strategic effort to get to
Ran to behave in a way that doesn't continue They're
forty year long effort to terrorize the world. The respecretary
(01:20:02):
of the administration said this strike was done based on
an imminent threat. But this morning you said, we didn't
know precisely when, and we didn't know precisely where that's
not the definition of imminent. The President has also suggested
that there was some sort of attacking plant against an embassy,
perhaps several embassies. Can you clarify, did you have specific
information about an imminent threat and didn't have anything to
(01:20:23):
do with our embassies. We had specific emanation information on
an imminent threat, and that was threat stream included attacks
on US embassies, period, full stop. You were mistaken when
you said you didn't know precisely when and you didn't
know precisely completely true. Those are completely consistent thoughts. I
don't know exactly which minute, we don't know exactly which
(01:20:45):
day it would have been executed, but it was very
clear Costum Suleimani himself was plotting a broad, large scale
attack against American interests, and those attacks were imminent against
American facilities, including American embassies, military basis, American facilities throughout
the region. Sadly, the previous administration had opened up revenue
(01:21:05):
streams for Iran, but under our administration, revenue oil revenues
are down by eighty percent and Iran cannot access roughly
ninety percent of its foreign currency reserves, and not even
two weeks ago President Rohani of AROUND admitted that our
sanctions have cost around over two hundred billion dollars in
loss for an income and investment. As long as Iran's
(01:21:27):
outlaws ways continue, we will continue to impose sanctions. Finally,
I want to reiterate President Trump's concern for Americans and
dual national citizens detained insight of Iran. AROUND knows that
these individuals have committed no crime. They know the charges
against them are fake, and we will do all that
we can to get each of them returned home safely
(01:21:47):
to their families. Twenty five to the top of the hour,
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo describing, Yeah, days away. Why
is that so complicated for people to understand? Why do
you think Solomoni was on the tarmac at Baghdad International
Airport not that complicated to figure out because before he
even arrived, when our embassy was under attack, what do
(01:22:10):
we see written on the wall? Solomoni is our leader.
It's hard for the good people to understand evil, and
when you talk about it in this sense, over one
hundred million human souls destroyed in the last century. We
discussed Hitler and Stalin and fascism and Nazism and Imperial
Japan and Mao and Cambodi and the killing fields. That's
(01:22:33):
one hundred million plus human souls. We don't have an
exact figure, but that's a lot of people killed because
of evil. And every case that I just meant, that's evil.
Radical Islamic terrorists that attacked New York City and the
United States on nine to eleven, two thousand and one,
that was evil. What happened in the Benghazi in September eleven,
(01:22:56):
twenty twelve, it was evil, you know, the attempt killing
Americans with the these incendiary devices of Solomon and I
was evil. Funding Hezbollah, state sponsored terror, evil, the radical
Malah's in Iran. They don't deserve bribes. They deserve they
will behave and they can't get nuclear weapons or we're
gonna have to use our military might and hurt you.
(01:23:17):
Don't make us hurt you a lot because we can.
But how evil, Well, our next guest would know. Daniel
loch Bari authored the book, we'll put it on our website,
Honor Killing. Imprisoned by Iranian officials, tried, tortured, imprisoned in Bulgaria.
His crime he dared to convert to Christianity. Daniel loch Bari,
welcome back. How are you, sir? Thank you so much,
(01:23:40):
thanks for having me answer now this you're imprisoned in Bulgaria,
but it was first you were imprisoned by Iranian officials,
tried and tortured. Explain that. Yeah, I was imprisoned in
Bulgaria for about thirty days. Then I was deported in
Irana and tortured in the hands of the intelligence service
in the ron brookenhoot this locating my left shoulder. What
(01:24:00):
did so and how long will you held prisoner there?
I was in prison for about thirty days, okay, And
what did they do to you? Actually when they just
cooperated with the Irgnian counselor and the deported me to
run in handcoff and in the Iran I was tortured
and my left they put me in handcoff and dislocated
my left shoulder. So I can tell a lot about
(01:24:23):
how ruthless they they can be. How did you get out?
Actually I was under bond. My father put a bond
for me so I could get out under that bond.
So I'm sure they have appropriated the whole property. My
father put us a bond Okay. Next thing I guess
we have to ask is so you've heard of Solo
Money long before we took him out, correct, Yes, sir,
(01:24:46):
you've heard of the Kud's Forces, which is the Irgnian
elite military wing of the radical Mullah's military arm in Iran. Correct,
Yeah to me, Solemney asked himself as he himsel describe
his road as the foot soldier for the for the
Ayatulla Harmony. He was just a person to try to
(01:25:08):
actualize Harmony's dream of dominating the whole region first and
second the whole worlds. The Harmony wants to be the
caliph and run the whole world and in the region.
Soleimani was his puppet and his coordinator to to make
sure that hesball law and Hashtra shaping Iraq and Syria
all are on the same page. Attack in Israel and
(01:25:30):
US interest. So we're talking about ruthless murderers and killers,
and there's no freedom for the people of Iran unless
there is well regime change if you will, and I
don't say that thinking that the United States we can't
be involved in regime change in Iran. That's gonna have
to be up to the people of Iran correct, yes, sir,
But the bottom line is we don't have to like them,
(01:25:52):
we don't have to get along with them, but they're
not going to hold the world's the lifeblood of the
world's economy, oil hostage in the straits of horrible. They
don't get to shoot down drones, kill Americans, you know,
just bomb their their oil competitors in the case of
Saudi Arabia for no good reason except they want to
make more money. Where do you see this all ending?
(01:26:14):
Because I agreed with about the President said when he
made his statement the morning after they shot these ballistic missiles,
and he said, thank god, nobody was hurt, no real
damage was done, they all missed the target pretty much.
But they can't be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon.
So to me, the only way we're gonna be able
to defeat them, You know them. You think you can
reason sit down at a table with people that think
(01:26:36):
that it's okay to teach your own kids to kill
Israelis and Americans and you're doing the will of God
when you do it, or allah, You think you can
reason with people that have that mindset, I do not
believe you can. Yeah, as you mentioned, you know Summut
regime is suffering economically for sure, and Iranians are uprising.
Iranians are sick and tire of this regime. They have
been captivated by this regime for over forty years. I
(01:26:58):
have to say, I mean for Iranians, nothing is I
have to say unclear about how crazy and how demonic
this regime is. But the problem I see is from
the liberals side in the United States, how they take
side with those I say, evil people, with those leaders
(01:27:19):
of the Stamic regime. I personally feel very disappointed to
witness the liberals, I mean restless efforts to portray Costum
Solei Money an army general hero who has been assassinated
by the most evil person on their planet. You know,
they portrayed Trump to be the most evil person on
the planet who killed a saint, Costum Sali Money they
(01:27:39):
port as a saint. That It's crazy how liberals dare
to go to that point. It's unbelievable, how their hatred,
the excessive hatred for the president made them so shameless
to take side with the most infamous terrorists whose sole
mission was to kill as many Americans as could as
he could to actualize comedy's dream of coming. Khalif you
(01:28:01):
know so the money describe himself as a Harmony's foot soldier.
I'm beyond curious to learn how liberals, I mean have
found what they have found in this notorious terrorists that
made them characterize the US preemptive defensive strike against him
as a terti a great point, I mean, how is
it possible? But I guess I don't know. I'll never
(01:28:23):
understand why you give Mala's one hundred and fifty billion.
We're glad you're out. We're glad you're safe. We're glad
you can identify for this audience exactly what it is
we're dealing with. Danielle Abari, thank you for being Willis.
Thank you so much, sir. Have a go on eight
hundred and nine four one, Sean, you want to be
a part of the program, Let's go to the great
state of Texas. Ben standing by next Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, Ben? How are you good? Afternoon? Mister Hannity.
(01:28:44):
Thank you for taking my call. I'd been wanting to
call you for the past a few days to share
my opinion about what has going on. I'm an Iranian
who left Yvonne at age sixteen, right after the Ivanne
I Rock was over, and decided that this country is
not for us anymore, and walked all the way to
(01:29:04):
active Greece, going through Iraq. What year is this you're
talking about? By the way, this is late nineteen ninety three.
Um and uh right before, right after the Gulf War.
Saandam was saying when he's like kwait right after that fiasco.
And I got on foot and made my journey all
(01:29:26):
the ways. Agree. It took me six months. I became men.
I become a man overnight with horrible things that I
experienced during their journey, and turned myself to US embassy
and applied for refuge asylum. Waited two years, and I
was privileged to be granted a green card. And I've
been living the States since. What an amazing story. I'm
(01:29:48):
looking at London. We're just sitting here on our mouths open,
listening to your journey. Wow, that's incredible. Thank you, Thank
God for you know. By the way, what would life
be like if you were there? I'm sorry, what would
life be like for you if you were there? Do
you many communications with people there anymore? Well? I speak
to I talk to my cousins and my relatives, but
it is very dangerous for them to be in contact
(01:30:08):
with us, and we have to talk in codes or
in Instagram because the Internet is not free there is
it is filtered, so they have to pay hackers to
given filter whatever it's called, to get on internet and
so we can communicate. The life is horrible there and
when you hear my story, you would think I would
be the perfect poster child for their left and Nancy
(01:30:31):
Close his gang. But the fact is one hundred percent
the opposite. What they are doing for the past three
years to Donald Trump is the shame and it's an
American is pure communism. And what they have been doing
since we have killed the most evil monster person that
could walk earth, after Hitler, it was solely money. What
they have been doing since is just appalling and disgusting.
(01:30:54):
They are not speaking on behalf of Iranians, and they
are not speaking on behalf of anyone calls himself a
freedom lover human beings. I kind of just let your
guests said earlier, I just I'm just appalled. I'm puzzled.
Why would you sympathize and send controle condolences for such
(01:31:15):
a person that he has been killing innocent people for
over forty years. Okay, so they answer your own question.
Why would they not understand you can't bribe these radical regimes,
these dictators, these mulas. Why do you think there is
even a resist? Oh my gosh, we killed Solomoney. You
should have given him one hundred and fifty billion. They
may get mad at us. That's that's what it seems
(01:31:37):
like to me. That's absolutely. I mean, here's the thing.
You know, my wife and I trying to figure out
why you are doing this because our PTSD has kicked
in and remembering what these people they have done to us.
I was as a child walking through this Google could
see people hanging on a street. But what's forced because
this this spoke out about what they want, you know,
(01:32:00):
and they were part of the opposition. The child, I
would see people hanging on the street in public by
this guy we just killed. And then we have Americans
trying to uh say that they are sorry for what
we have done to this person and send condoleces to
Ivanni and Ayatolla. What a shame? What a shame. You
can't be disagreeable. You don't have to like Donald Trump.
(01:32:23):
Sean Okay, you don't have to have it is called demofras.
You don't like the man, wait four years, go to
the polls, vote vote him out of the office. But
what are you doing? Not not not only its anti American,
it's just what is the humanity in that part with
a killer that's been killing people around the world, not
(01:32:45):
just van And we keep seeing orts military force in America.
Military is not involved in our country because it's on
constitutional And I gotta run. I want to get a
contact for you, um never. You're of Alexandro souldanets and
gave a famous speech at Harvard once. You almost remind
me of him a little bit. Wow, very powerful testimony.
(01:33:09):
We will have you back. What an incredible life story.
I appreciate you sharing it with us. We're gonna put
you on hold there Ben in Texas and we want
to get some information on you. That is a powerful story.
