This is an iHeart Podcast.
Let not your heart be troubled.
You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.
All right, two weeks from today, two weeks from today.
Not today, not next Tuesday.
The following Tuesday is election day.
You ready?
I've got a good analysis.
Some of you got a little disappointed in me and deflated somewhat yesterday after I analyzed the states that are necessary for Donald Trump to win.
And I'll give you an I'll give you that analysis again, but with a little different spin and take on it.
Actually, is this guy, Paul Mushine?
This guy doesn't like me at the Star Ledger.
He did a great job today analyzing the past polling and how polls have been wrong.
I thought he did a really good job today.
Got to give him credit.
We'll also go over that electoral map in detail for you.
We've got 65 elite media reporters now in the latest WikiLeaks Clinton email dump in bed with Hillary's campaign.
Shocking.
You know, this is a story I promise you, we've got unfinished business with Republicans, with the media, with this globalist mentality establishment that's failing the American people that we're all going to get into on November 9th, win-lose or draw.
I am uh I've got a lot to say about a lot of these people, but I got to stay focused like a laser beam here because there's too much that we've got on the table.
This election, I'm telling you, is winnable for Donald Trump.
I'm just saying it's not easy.
Early polling numbers in terms of early vote seems somewhat encouraging.
Depends how you look at them.
I'll explain that too in the course of the program.
But I'll tell you what the big story is here.
Well, we also have the Clinton Fixer is going to be on the program today, and the original insurgent Patrick J. Buchanan is going to be on.
And what I think is our top story today is we've got Obamacare is about to turn into a disaster.
It is now doing what we what those of us warned you would happen.
That you're being lied to, that you're going to lose your doctor, lose your plans, and save and not save money.
Now all the evidence is in.
Alright, let me give you some of the latest numbers for this year alone.
Because in spite of the promises, well, let's play the promises.
This way you have it fresh in your mind.
This is what you were promised by your government.
Just like Social Security's gonna be put in a lockbox.
Social Security is going to be bankrupt in 18 years.
You know why?
Because they spent they squandered the money that they were supposed to save for you in your retirement.
And just like they squandered your children's money by borrowing ten trillion dollars in the last eight years under Obama and doubling the national debt and accumulating more debt than every other president before him combined.
There's a reason why these things happen, which should factor into people's decision making when they go into the polls two weeks from today.
Let's remind you what you are promised.
When you hear about the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare.
And I and I don't mind the name because I really do care.
A system where we're going to work with your employers to lower your premiums by up to $2,500 per family per year.
Add it all up, and the plan I'm proposing will cost around $90 billion over 10 years.
We will start by reducing premiums by as much as $2,500 per family.
There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would ensure illegal immigrants.
This too is false.
Here's what changes saying to people who already have health insurance and the employers who are providing it will work to lower your premiums by up to $2,500 per family per year.
I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits.
Either now or in the future.
I also have a health care plan that would save the average family 2,500 on their premium.
If you've got health insurance, you like your doctor, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor.
You can keep your plan.
We're gonna work with your employer to lower the costs of your premiums by up to $2,500 a year.
And I will make sure that no government bureaucrat or insurance company bureaucrat gets between you and the care that you need.
And we'll cut the cost of a typical family's health care by up to $2,500 per year.
The best example is the claim Made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but by prominent politicians that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens.
It is a lie.
Plain and simple.
No matter what you've heard, if you like your doctor or health care plan, you can keep it.
Under the reform we seek, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
And not only means making sure you can keep your family's doctor or keep your health care plan if you like it, but also that you can afford to do so.
We're gonna put in any legislation considered by the House and Senate the protection of you as an individual to keep the health insurance you have if that's what you want.
If you like what you have, you will be able to keep it.
Mr. President, let me say this again.
If you like what you have, when our legislation is passed and signed by our president, you will be able to keep it.
There's multiple choices that are being discussed right now.
But the first thing is first of all uh that is critical is that uh if you got a doctor now, you got a medical professional and you want, you get to keep that.
Now I know my Republican opponents will try to equate health care for all Americans with government run health care.
Well, don't let them fool us again.
This is not government run.
There will be no new bureaucracies.
You can keep the doctors you know and trust.
You keep the insurance you have if you like it.
And save money.
Okay, let me give you some facts.
What's happening now?
Just this year, coming year alone, one in ten Obamacare enrollees will lose their current plan.
One point four million people in thirty-two states will be looking for new plans.
We've got seventeen of Obama's twenty-three approved health care cooperatives will shut down.
Twent seventeen of twenty-three.
That is a significant amount.
Since Obamacare has been implemented, not of you not not only have you not saved twenty five hundred dollars a year, the average increase heading into this year is four thousand one hundred dollars per family.
Whoopsie daisy.
You've got the nation's five largest insurers have decided to significantly back out of their coverage for this coming year, following cumulative losses of nearly a billion dollars from Obamacare in 2015 and 2016.
United Health Group, well, they're reducing their coverage from 34 states to three states next year.
Humana, they are reducing their coverage by close to 90%, with plans being offered in 156 counties as opposed to 1,351 this year.
Aetna, they're cutting nearly 70% of their coverage with a plan to offer health insurance in only two hundred and forty-two counties.
In other words, health plan choices are gone, done, shrinking, and out of the way.
Now, that doesn't even tap into the big story of the day, which is the collapse of Obamacare, forcing health insurance rate hikes through the roof that people like me tried to warn you about, and all the major insurance companies scaling back, United Health, Cygna, Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Humana, you name it, they're all getting out.
All of them.
They don't want any part of it because they can't make money.
So they're abandoning ship.
Now, when you can find an Obamacare policy that doesn't break the bank, the deductibles are going to be so high, it's like having no health insurance at all.
And that also gives the insurer a monopoly, allowing them pretty much to charge anything that they want.
Now we have a report from WBEZ.org.
The University of Chicago Medical Center said Monday that they don't plan to be in the network for any Obamacare Marketplace plans next year.
That change means that patients with doctors at the hospitals will either need to find a plan off marketplace and lose Obamacare subsidies or find a new doctor.
Now, by the way, that's the hospital where Michelle Obama served as the vice president for community and external affairs.
They're getting out of Obamacare this year.
That's a great testimonial, isn't it?
Now the number of cities that uh the numbers being cited in the number of cities and towns and and states impacted is dramatic.
A minimum average increase of twenty-five percent.
Now Zero Hedge points out that Obamacare premiums are skyrocketing out of sight.
Let me give you some examples.
And uh in Minnesota, for example, Blue Cross Blue Shield is pulling their preverb preferred provider organization plans from the state's online exchange.
And they now have such a narrow network that has been approved in Minnesota.
By the way, you're going to vote for Hillary?
55% rate increase.
Good luck to you.
Let's see.
In New Mexico, a ninety-three percent increase.
In uh states, let's see.
Oh, Arizona.
I see Arizona's a swing state this year, so they say.
Well, Arizona might see as many, uh we'll see between 50 and 92% increase.
Illinois, Montana, Oklahoma, oh, Pennsylvania's there too.
You're going to see a 50 to 92% increase.
Um, approved hikes of 30 to 49% in Alabama, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Mississippi, and Texas.
Um, hey, you folks out of New Mexico, who according to the latest poll or backing Hillary now by 10 points.
Uh, I hope you enjoy your 93% Obamacare rate hike because your only chance to avoid it is to elect Donald Trump because he'll repeal and replace this monstrosity.
And uh, you Pennsylvania voters, you might see a ninety-two percent increase, Obamacare rate hike.
Uh, but that's because, you know, you're only going to get that if you put Hillary in the White House in two weeks from today.
And by the way, it's not just the money.
The quality of care is declining to the extent where people like me and Governor Palin and Betsy McCoy told you that it was going to die on the vine, and death panels were a reality because that's exactly what happened with the National Institutes for Health.
You know they factor in what your what your life expectancy is before they give you that hip operation or that knee replacement.
If you're with the National Health and National Institutes for Health in Great Britain, and I told you that's all coming here.
By the way, kudos to Betsy McCoy.
She's the only one that seems to have noticed the life and death catastrophe.
And she reported back in May that President Obama's Medicare cuts are killing seniors.
Killing death panels, in other words.
His new law, health law, Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, tried to cut Medicare spending by paying bonuses to hospitals that spend less uh per senior per year.
The result?
Okay, hospitals, they want to get Uncle Sam's bonus.
So seniors at those hospitals, they're not getting the right antibiotic and all the treatments that they need, and in some cases they're even dying of pneumonia and heart attacks and heart failure at higher rates than patients in other hospitals that provide more care.
As a matter of fact, oh, I have here in front of me the archives of internal medicine.
It shows there are more deaths at lower spending hospitals.
By the way, you know, whose votes Democrat?
Democrats keep saying the rich, the rich, tax the rich.
Okay, you think that that you think they really care for you?
Pay close attention to what the archives of internal medicine point out at low spending hospitals.
In other words, let me let me interpret that for you.
Poorer neighborhoods.
In fact, they write 17,822 seniors who died over four years in the lowest spending hospitals just in California, would have survived with more care.
Oh, there really are death panels.
So if you want to see more of this, go elect Hillary.
One of the many, many reasons that I told you you got bad news for Hillary.
Look, they all voted for this.
You know, first it was Hillary care, then it evolved into Obamacare.
Hillary through wiki leaks is saying she really wants to double down on stupid here and even move towards a single payer, which would be an absolute disaster.
Now, our nation spends twice as much per person on health care as any other industrialized nation, but we lag behind on measures like infant mortality, survival rate for disease, death due to medical error.
You know, in in there was a book written uh patient power is one of them that talks about health care savings accounts.
But you know, you want to look at the swing states, Arizona.
They could have as high as a ninety percent increase.
You know, Blue Cross Blue Shield, the largest insurer, 43% of the market initially saw the 65% increase this year.
Blue Cross says they lost 185 million dollars on individual policies.
In Colorado, their state has improved uh premium hikes of up to 21% or higher this year.
This will impact 450,000 of you in Colorado.
You know, these increases are the largest in a Colorado since Obamacare was enacted, and on average, the average family across the country is paying 4100 a year.
Colorado increases in 2017 could be worse than those nationally, according to the Denver Post in 16 of their major cities.
People in Colorado may be on the hook for historically large health insurance premium increases next year.
That was MBC News.
And it's not just in Colorado, it's all over the country.
It's in Florida.
And Florida, you'll pay a minimum of 25% increases.
Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Florida was approved for a 20% increase.
Celtic Insurance, they were approved for a major increase.
Florida Healthcare Plan, they're paying a major increase.
Health Options is paying a major increase.
Health First Commercial Plan, major increase.
Humana, Florida, major increase, 36.8%.
Iowa, same thing.
You're gonna average a 28, 29, 30% increase with Aetna or Gunderson Health Plans or Medica insurance plans or Wellmark plans, all you're gonna pay for.
Michigan, by the way, you're gonna have a major hike in case you're interested.
Nevada, you're gonna have a major hike.
New Hampshire, you're gonna have a major hike.
North Carolina, you're gonna pay over 25% more.
Ohio, you're gonna have a major increase.
Pennsylvania, you're gonna have one of the highest increases.
Virginia, go enjoy your Obamacare.
Suck on it.
Enjoy it, because it's not going to save your life.
Wisconsin, same thing.
You're gonna pay major amounts of increases.
Good luck with that.
Pretty interesting.
25 till the top of the hour, 800 941.
Sean, 14 days, two weeks from today is election day.
Best election coverage continues.
Remember how Democrats insisted last week we all need to unite behind whoever wins the election.
Well, I guess that only applies if Donald Trump loses, because apparently the president cannot bring himself to say that he'd unite behind the Trump presidency.
This is pretty interesting.
White House aide failed to deny rumors that President Barack Obama is planning to leave the United States if Trump wins the White House.
If uh if Trump wins the election.
I'll pay.
Hang on a second.
I'm offering a I'll even rent a plane as big as Air Force One to take care of.
Anyway, Josh Ernest, the White House propagandist, was asked yesterday whether Obama was planning to flee abroad if Trump, a man he said is unfit to hold office.
By the way, if anyone was unfit, if we haven't learned by now, it's Obama.
God, the worst presidency in our lifetime by far.
In response, Ernest would only say that Obama was campaigning to ensure that no one would leave would have to leave because of a Donald Trump presidency.
The rumor mill apparently first started when a Canadian satire site uh carried an article saying Obama was planning to move to Canada if Trump was victorious.
The piece was entitled Obama declares his family will move to Canada if Trump is elected, and carried a fictitious statement, supposedly from Obama, which said it's something Michelle, the kids, and I have discussed as a potential solution to the Donald.
Anyway, when asked about the rumors on Air Force One, Ernest said Obama would spend a significant time campaigning for Hillary and other Democrats down the ballot.
He's working very hard to make sure that nobody has to leave the country, blah, blah.
So they're not saying for sure.
Well, I have an offer for the president.
I will charter a plane for you and your family.
I will make sure it's as big a plane as Air Force One.
What you have grown accustomed to, in other words, taxpayer funded plane.
I don't know where I'm going to get.
Maybe I'll try maybe I'll just maybe I'll ask Trump if I can charter his plane for Obama.
That's what I will charter John Donald Trump's plane if he'll let me.
And I will charter it to the country of your choice.
You want to go to Canada, I'll pay for you to go to Canada.
Want to go to Kenya, I'll pay for you to go to Kenya.
Jakarta, where you went to school back in the day, you can go back there.
Anywhere you want to go.
I'm gonna I'll put the finest food, caviar, champagne, you name it.
I have one stipulation.
You can't come back.
That's fair, and I'll do that for any Hollywood liberal that swears they're gonna leave too.
Um, let me go Washington Post.
Donald Trump has zero chance of winning.
Donald Trump's chances of winning are approaching zero, they say.
Okay.
There is let me give my analysis of this.
Some of you were, I guess, uh what's the right dispirited, maybe um I don't know, just unhappy with the reality that I'm giving you about the election.
I'm not in the business of being Pollyanna and you know, saying that everything's gonna be okay.
This guy, Paul Mushine is his name.
I know over the years, I think this guy has hated my guts.
I may be wrong.
Maybe I have a mixed up with somebody else, but I think so.
He says we prepare to enter the final two weeks of this campaign.
Here's how things shape up.
On the one hand, we have a candidate who's accused of hiring Craze fanatics to aid in her campaign.
Then we have a candidate who gets crazy fanatics to help in his campaign for free.
Who's gonna win?
At the moment, the most reliable poll in recent history is giving a slight edge to the guy who fires up fanatics for free.
That's Donald Trump.
And as of Saturday, well, now it's it's pretty much dead even with the uh investors' business daily poll.
Anyway, so that's where we are today.
This lead is within the margin of error, but it's fascinating that Trump could still be in contention after a couple of weeks of what look like the worst weeks in history.
To find out why, I called the president of the Ramsey based technometrica, the company that does the actual polling for investors business daily.
The IBD tip tracking poll was rated the most accurate.
This is the one that has them even.
The most accurate in the 2012 race by the New York Times.
While other polls had Republican Mitt Romney up by several points going into the election, we forget that, don't we?
That's why a lot of you are so disappointed.
You thought Romney was going to win.
The poll correctly showed Obama ahead.
The IBD poll.
Now check this business insider article.
IBD tip called the race in 2012.
They had Obama by three points while other polls were calling it for Romney.
In 2008, the IBD poll got Obama's victory margin right down to the decimal point at 7.2%.
And the cycle before that, the poll put George W. Bush at 2.1% going into an election that he won at 2.5%.
So that's a pretty solid track record.
And recent polling, recent elections.
This is not past history here.
So that means he's perfectly positioned to answer the question that Hillary Clinton raised a month ago.
Why am I not ahead by 50 points?
The reason, said the Indian born graduate of NJIT and Rutgers, is that support on either side is hardened to the point that scandals do not seem to matter, even the recent allegations against Donald Trump.
His core support is staying intact.
It's not as if somebody's jumping shit because of scandal and moving over to Hillary's column.
And you're not going to see Clinton supporters going over to Trump either, no matter what wiki leaks leaks.
That's where the fun begins.
And then they point out that on Saturday the poll was tied.
It's been back and forth a point between the two of them, and it stays that way.
And Trump again proves he is an adult on foreign policy, etc., etc.
I'm sure the mainstream media will find a way to distort Donald Trump's big foreign speech on foreign policy, but he again proved he's a candidate who wants peace with Russia in the Middle East.
That means Clinton loses more voters to third party candidates than Trump.
I think that perhaps these are people who believe Trump is not acceptable, he said.
If you pitch Clinton versus Trump alone, they'd vote for Clinton.
But when they have other options, they'll abandon her.
And he said he isn't the only one.
His poll is not the only one released in recent days that had Trump ahead with four candidates in the race, which is the reality of what this race is.
Anyway, only one had Clinton winning in a four-way race.
It's like a stock trading in a very narrow range.
Then there's the question of enthusiasm.
He says this will not be a Replay of Obama versus Romney.
Now that the issue of whether the Democrats rig elections is back in the news.
He said, let's take a look back at a few pieces I wrote when Al Gore was doing what Donald Trump is only threatening to do.
And you've got to keep in mind the intensity of Democrats is not as high as what Trump has, he said.
Clinton is not able to excite the base as much as Obama was able to.
I've seen recent events.
I attended in person.
Clinton gets polite but reserved reception.
By the way, poor Tim Kane had an audience of 30 people in Florida.
Oh my God.
30 people.
It's so embarrassing.
Anyway, Clinton gets polite applause.
And he said that's what makes this race difficult to predict, unlike the prior two, which he said which were divinely ordained.
He said in 2008, no Republican could have won after the financial tsunami.
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy happened.
It made Obama look presidential and put a stop to any momentum that Romney could get.
This time around, Trump is tapping into what he called an ethos of populism that is keeping the race tight despite scandals that would have finished off any other politician.
But he said, and he goes on to say, but what about the other polls showing Clinton leading by eight or so after the tape came out?
He said typically what happens is that I lead the polls, they follow me.
That's because his tracking poll is done on a daily basis.
It uses a rolling average that incorporates results from the prior five days.
It's a good way of detecting trends and the trend is toward a close race, he says.
I can say this much with confidence.
This race is going to be tightening for them, he said, meaning other polls.
I believe that too.
And the other polls, why?
Because they all want to get it right at the oh, we were right.
Oh, but see, we told you we saw this coming.
But meanwhile, they want to deflate how you feel.
Look, that's the word I was looking for.
I know some of you are deflated when I go over the states that need to be won.
I'm I'm just not in the position.
I can't lie to you.
This is very hard.
If Donald Trump is going to win, and we're on in every one of these states, pay close attention.
Louisiana must remain in Trump's column, I think it will.
Mississippi must remain in Trump's column, I think it will.
Montana must remain in Trump's column, I think it will.
South Dakota, Tennessee, Alaska, Kansas, Nebraska Congressional District 2.
Without which it's game over.
And the same goes for Indiana.
I can't see Indiana going for Hillary this time.
Missouri, Missouri, you know, if you want Donald Trump to be president, Missouri has to go for Trump.
South Carolina will go Trump, I believe.
Utah will go Trump, I believe, I hope.
If not, it's game over.
Then it gets tough for Trump to win.
He's got to get Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada, Iowa, Arizona, Georgia, Texas, and Maine, the second congressional district.
Without Maine, he's a 269 if, for example, he gets New Hampshire.
That means that Donald Trump has to win all of them.
He has to win Florida, has to win Ohio, has to win North Carolina, has to win Nevada, has to win Iowa, has to win Arizona, must win Georgia, Texas, and Maine CD Congressional District 2.
Then he's either got to win Minnesota.
There's a poll that shows it's close, but Minnesota hasn't gone Republicans since what, 84?
88, maybe.
I don't remember.
Or he's got to win New Hampshire or Minnesota, or obviously Pennsylvania.
That would be a game changer.
Or Wisconsin or Colorado or New Mexico or Virginia or Connecticut or Michigan.
I'm sorry, that is not easy.
That needs to be a Trump tsunami.
That means he has to run the table.
So when I I'm not trying to deflate you, I'm trying to energize you.
Assume you're behind.
Trust, you know, if you want to look at the poll that's been most accurate, stay with the IBD poll.
It's a one-point race now.
But national polls really don't matter.
What matters are the states I just mentioned to you.
That's what matters here.
Not anything else.
Now, I can go over a history about how bad polling has been over the years.
A friend of mine, uh Rowan Scarborough posted this on his on his Facebook page, and he points out back in 2014, the final polls released before the election, according to real clear politics and key races, you know, they're not for foregone conclusions.
For example, Republican Governor Larry Hogan.
You know, they had him losing by double digits in Maryland.
Dark blue.
New York Times, you gov poll had him down 13 points.
Washington Post said he was down eleven.
He won by 3.8.
Those arguing Hogan must have attracted last minute undecided.
Well, that doesn't wash either because at about the same time, the local firm, Gonzalez Research, polling for the GOP said that the Democrat, Anthony Brown was only up two points.
While wrong, at least they were accurate or at least fairly accurate.
Then you had Mark Warner was the odds on favorite to win big in Virginia.
New York Times, Ugov had him up by 10.
Public policy polling, nine-point lead.
Local university predicted he'd win by 20.
Well, he won by.8% over Ed Gillespie.
And everybody had left Virginia thinking it was over.
Again, you know, local polster, they got it right.
Republican Pat Roberts, most major polls right up to election day at Roberts tied with the independent, Greg Orman in Kansas.
Four polls at Orman ahead of Roberts.
Roberts won by nearly 11 points, 10.6 points.
How could they be so wrong?
Ugov, the firm used by the New York Times at Roberts by one point.
Public policy had Orman winning by one.
Joni Ernst, Iowa.
Major pollsters had that race closer than it ended.
You gov Democrat, they had the Ugov had the Democrat winning.
Quinna Piac added a tie.
If any major poll at Ernst Winnie was by a few points, she won by 8.3.
Kentucky, Matt Gat Matt Bevan, one of the few major 2015 races.
It followed a pattern of major pollsters under counting GOP turnout.
They had Bevan losing to the Democrat Jack Conway.
Survey USA said he was down five.
Mason Dixon had him down two.
Bevan won 8.7.
You know, how could they get the how can they get all these things wrong?
Look, I don't know.
I'm just telling you what the truth is.
I tend to trust polls to a certain extent.
I throw out the highs, I throw out the lows, and I kind of look in the middle.
And if I do that, then Trump's behind.
You know, but if he can win all these states I mentioned, he will be the next president.
And that is in your hands.
By the way, as a development in WikiLeaks, the Clinton email dump.
We learned that Clinton's top age were worried that Obama deliberately lied to the American people.
And uh Mills wrote to John Podesta, we need to get this cleaned up.
He has emails from her.
They don't say, they do not say state.gov.
They've known about this forever, he's been implicated, which actually explains a lot.
Also, WikiLeaks now has told us.
Oh, look at this.
65 big name reporters who work for elite media coordinating their stories with Hillary's campaign staff.
Well, 38 national reporters.
Oh, let's see, they went to John Podesta's house for dinner.
How come I didn't get my invitation?
By the way, not one from Fox News.
Clinton campaign sent out invites to New York reporters in April of 2015.
They all get to go to dinner.
Yeah, people from the AP, ABC, Bloomberg, CBS, CNBC, CNN, Huffington Post, LA Times, MSNBC, McClatchy, National Journal, New York Times, Politico, Reuters, The Hill, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal.
Where's my invitation?
How come I didn't get one?
There's a scary story out that I'll get to eventually.
I haven't had time to.
Critics of uh Donald Trump on both the left and right are calling for a crackdown on conservative media after the election.
Quote the Republican base remains largely unreachable, locked away in a space which only figures like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Matt Drudge hold the keys.
Let's see, senior reporter, etc.
The GOP has appeased this conservative base.
You got people that are in my business that want to put limits on what I do.
Wow.
I guess they don't believe in freedom of speech, do they?
We'll deal with all this.
I believe me.
We have a long list on November 9th, we're gonna hit.
I made this case, and then we had to go forward.
We had no choice, any woman to go for a special counsel.
Fierce and chilling.
She got a little bit in front of everybody, and and anybody that stood up and tried to say that idea.
And a little personally.
Did you ever throw a lamp at your ass?
But no, I did.
Did you ever throw a Bible at your house?
No, I didn't.
Do you have a terrible temper?
No, but I do get angry about things.
I'm not gonna deny that.
If you go to the go to the end of the line.
Okay, why don't you go to the end of the line?
Yeah, we'll figure out.
The fact is we had four dead Americans.
Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk when night who decided they'd go kill some Americans?
What difference at this point does it make?
You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?
My husband is not the Secretary of State, I am.
So you ask my opinion, I will tell you my opinion.
I'm not going to be channeling my husband.
This woman, this little shelf-spoken, pardon me for the phrase Dowdy Woman that was seen very unassertive.
Took a hold of my hand and squeezed it and said, Do you understand everything that you did?
I could have passed out at that moment.
And she held on to my hand and she said, Do you understand everything that you do?
I mean cold chills when that last fight.
That's the first time I became afraid of that woman.
I was so much so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about sickness.
And I also think we'd be a lot better off if we actually talk to each other instead of yelling at each other.
I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and say we are America that we have a right to debate at disagree with any administration.
Alright, so who is the real Hillary Clinton hour two, right down our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza.
It's 800 941 Sean.
Now we've been following the story of this nine-page bombshell of the National Inquirer.
You know, the same people that got the John Edwards story right, the same people they got the Jesse Jackson story right, the same people that got monkey business, Gary Hart right, the same people that got O.J. Simpson right.
I don't know, is there's I don't understand.
Every time this happened, that's a that's a tabloid.
It's a tabloid with a pretty damn good track record.
I'm glad they're not on my case for crying out loud.
Not that I'm doing anything wrong.
I know a talk show host, by the way, they could be on their case, uh, but that's a different story for a different day.
But anyway, so it's nine pages.
The headline is revealed at last, the bombshell proof that Hillary silenced Bill's sex victims.
Uh the secret operative who Bill and Hillary hired to hide the scandals, the Clinton's open marriage, uh hookers, tragic lovers, lies and spies, dirty tricks, shocking bribes to journalists who quote knew too much.
And they describe in this piece a guy by the name of Mr. Fixit.
And for the first time, he is now breaking his silence.
And they made a series of blockbuster claims about this dark and dirty business, how he was able to defuse twelve specific scandals through a network of lawyers and businessmen and thugs and double dealing journalists who cut the Clinton's favorable deals.
Mr. Fixit's name is Jeff Rovin.
He was on Hannity last night.
He joins us, as well as Dylan Howard, and Dylan, of course, is the content officer and vice president of AMI, which is the parent company of the National Inquirer.
Mr. Roven, tell us your story.
Well, I was doing celebrity interviews, and uh that put me in uh in contact with somebody who was very close to the Clintons, and uh the Clintons engaged me to uh help you know, to basically bury stories that were not favorable.
It was something I had been doing for celebrities unofficially for about twenty, twenty-five years.
And um so I had had experience in doing exactly that.
Okay, so tell us how you how you got hooked up with the Clintons, and tell us specifically what you did, because the headline is proof that Hillary silenced Bill's sex victims.
What I did was listen for stories coming out of the tabloids.
By that I mean uh we were in touch with all of the reporters.
I knew most of them from my work.
And uh whenever they heard something, they told me.
Typically they would hear it from uh the people we called the Invisibles, the limo drivers, the hotel staff, the wait staff, security.
They all get paid those guys, especially out in LA, right?
Absolutely.
Look, they're they're always watching for celebrities to do something because that way they can phone in a thousand dollar tip.
Right.
And you do that a couple of times a week and uh you can make uh some serious money.
Yeah, absolutely.
But don't they know that the the celebrities which guys are giving them up?
If you go to X restaurant, they know don't go back there, you're gonna be ratted out.
No, because you sit in a studio commissary, for example, and you think, you know, God, I can say anything here.
I was sitting next to somebody who uh who had just had a baby and said, How did the tabloids know before s you know I we made an announcement and I was thinking, well, because guys like me are sitting here.
No.
And uh you think you're protected and uh clearly you're not.
No, I totally understand.
Let me kind of bring uh Dylan into this too, because Dylan you went over years of ledgers and notes, and and actually Jeff was nice enough to bring some today.
And the inquirer was part of an a deal that you made with him fixing for the Clintons, right?
Yeah, not that I made it.
I wasn't sure.
It was your pre your predecessor.
One of my predecessors uh was said to have uncovered, as my understanding is, um, an audio recording that was being shopped to the media outlet and before uh he could actually acquire that audio type, which was a voicemail recorded by a hookah that mentioned Bill Clinton's name.
Roven uh swooped in, orchestrated a deal whereby the national inquiry choir would get access to Roger Clinton's wedding.
To me that's that's at the White House.
I mean, instead of actually Sean, it was at the Dallas Arbor reading.
The National Inquiry, a scandal sheet that it chronicled the issues of the Clintons for many years beforehand, and all of a sudden they have a front row seat at the wedding and they have an exclusive White House photograph and interview with Hillary Clinton, the first lady.
It's remarkable.
I mean, to me that's the smoking gun.
Yeah.
Then th the fact that you went over all these ledgers and all these notes of his.
Um by the way, you haven't lived until you've seen uh Bill Sing uh excuse me, the president sing uh uh accompaniment to uh to a pianist.
Um and the the tragedy to me, partly too, was that the public never saw that side of him.
That was at the reception at the wedding.
But hang on a minute, Jeff.
That that that that's that's BS.
No.
You he you are trying to protect Bill Clinton.
Yet this story is so much more than that.
This story might not necessarily be about the misdeeds of Bill Clinton.
It's about something more important in my eyes.
And that's why we told this story.
That's why I investigated it for two years.
Because it's about corruption.
It's about how the Clintons abuse their power in order to protect their secrets.
And that's where you come in.
Yes, that's true.
But I also feel a journalist's obligation to be uh even-handed.
And what I I stand by the statement that the people who elected then never got to see them in private.
Of course, you rarely do.
That's that comes with the territory.
All right, but let's get specifically.
What did you fix?
What did you what did you do for them?
Well, uh initially it was all about Paula Jones and uh and uh Jennifer Flowers, and uh that seemed to me a a pretty easy thing to do.
It was out there and all I had to do was put out little brush fires when they erupted.
But then there was more and more of this sort of thing erupting.
And that's you know about hookers and Bill Clinton.
Well, what I know is that at this particular wedding situation, uh there was an audio recording uh that offered essentially to set up one of the women who was at a bachelor party with the president when he came to town.
And uh that was really the the most incriminating part of it as far as I was concerned.
What did you see?
What uh what should the public know about what you have fixed?
In other words, I I I do think Dylan is right here.
This is about scandal.
This is about a cover up.
This is about a false persona that they're putting out and manufacturing for the American people, and we've got an election 14 days from today.
Yeah, and that's why I'm here.
I mean that's one of the reasons why I'm here.
Uh partly to keep the names.
Yeah, but you gotta tell us what they did.
And what I understand.
Right, and getting there.
Uh one of the things is to keep the people who are basically innocent out of this, And also the people who made some bad judgments out of this.
What I did was not as much fixing as putting up a smoke screen, creating walls, putting up uh screens so that people couldn't see, making sure that in one case uh uh Hillary was came in one door and went out another to get into a limousine to go to a hotel.
Um that's that's the kind of thing that also was part of this job.
Uh so in other words, obfuscating for them, covering for them, let me get it.
It was, you know.
I mean, I uncovered one particular instance whereby there were photographs of Bill Clinton uh and an actress in a car alone.
Um it is my understanding that they were taken by a paparazzo, but those photos never saw the light of day.
Correct.
And you talk you're talking about Markey Post.
Yeah.
Why?
Because I was told to pay off the photographer.
And how much did you pay him?
I didn't pay him anything because his studio burned down the uh the night before the payoff was supposed to be made.
You think that was an accident?
I don't know.
I truly don't know.
The timing is odd, I will confess.
Timing is odd, it seems like How often do you hear about photography studios burning down?
In Malibu, one never knows.
All right.
Well, what about this letter about Monica Lewinsky?
Yeah, that was uh that was uh file put together, research put together by the White House by the West Wing and given to me uh slightly redacted, which I was supposed to then feed to the tabloids starring.
Smear, slander, besmirch, say that she is a woman, according to parents that drove her in a carpool that was unstable, emotionally needy.
For some reason they said she was attracted to gay men, but uh but dirty tricks to slander this girl and make her out to be a nut.
Yeah, and as if that wasn't weren't enough.
Uh the tabloid reporters I kind of ta contacted were supposed to find out more.
They they were supposed to dig deeper.
And they did dig deeper.
And uh then it was uh was the president who decided we should but let me read from the piece that you will reveal the darkest secrets how Hillary ordered the looting of her married lover Vince Foster's office after a suicide, how Mr. Fixett arranged a lesbian romp for bisexual Hillary with a prominent Hollywood identity.
Now those are very serious charges.
Correct.
Did you do those things?
Those are also very serious words from Dylan.
Um my involvement with all of that Do I have to like negotiate button?
No, no, no, not at all, Sean.
Look, explain the scenario I I will.
I did indeed hold off the press for a half hour after events foster suicide.
I was told there's going to be horrible news breaking, hold off the press.
The half hour turned into two hours.
Because Maggie Williams and they went in and they took all the files out.
We know that.
Yeah, everyone they took out everything they wanted and then they put the other ones back.
Exactly.
And that's the kind of a situation where okay, I held off my members of the press, in other words, the people who who uh worked at the tabloids until they finally Who ordered you to do that?
That was ordered by the West Wing.
Who?
Not going to talk about that.
That was again somebody who uh But doesn't that explain the rottenness at the core of the administration?
If you're getting a call from the West Wing telling you to do that, why why why not name that person's name?
Well, because I that person's not innocent.
No, the person's not innocent, but it's also their place to come forward if they want.
I really I think How do you know that she was having an affair with Vince Foster?
It was talk around the office where I was working, and it was you know, uh not even a secret not even secret talk.
Yeah.
Well WikiLeaks, it was an interesting thing about this woman, the energizer, as she's been dubbed by by the Secret Service, and then it comes up in in WikiLeaks that it was a problem.
They had a subject line in their WikiLeaks release that said Julie, which happens to be the energizer's real name, quote saw a picture of her this last week's Inquirer, Podesta wrote December 22nd, 2014 to Cheryl Mills, and uh then they talk about we better revisit our White Haven conversation.
What's that?
Well, it is a smoking gun in the suggestion that Bill Clinton uh was having an extramarital affair not so long ago.
And I guess uh in many ways, Sean, the release of the WikiLeaks pedestri emails indicates that while Jeff Roven might not be the bag man in two thousand and sixteen, they still are bad men, uh and it comes by the form of uh of pedestrians.
And the interesting to me is that the Clintons have never voluntarily told the truth about what's important here their affairs, their secret police, their use of intimidation tactics.
It forced upon the National Inquiry to have to dig deep and report this.
And to me, whilst it is salacious to read about uh lesbian trists and extra marriage.
Do you know that for a fact?
What's that?
You the lesbian truths.
Yeah.
And you know the people she had them with.
Yeah.
But you don't name them.
We don't name them.
Let's just say watch this space.
In fact, We've got a story coming out tomorrow that's very particular about the rottenness at the at the core of the Clintons, and that is how the Clintons were able to orchestrate a blackmail plot against somebody who was associated in the whitewater investigation to uncover a sleazy, dirty secret about that individual, and indeed use it against them to their favor in the Whitewater investigation.
I'm not going to name names at this point, but suffice to say, the National Inquires had reporters in two areas of the country in the last twenty-four hours.
We are actively working this story, and I believe that this is a bumsh.
That'll come out tomorrow.
Last question for you, Jeff.
You're you seem reluctant.
You seem like you've seen it all, but you're still hesitant to tell it all.
Why?
It's the sort of thing where uh again, I came forward in order to protect friends who I worked with then and friends that worked with you and covered up for you with them.
Exactly.
And also who knew the Clintons.
And to get very specific would be to reinvolve them in ways that it's not my place to do.
Uh I I don't mean to be coy about this.
Would she would we be electing the single most corrupt individual for president if she wins?
Uh well, I don't know much about Warren Harding.
I hear he wasn't so great, but uh it's it's certainly plausible.
All right, thank you both for being with us.
We'll look forward to what you have tomorrow.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800 941.

All right.
Patrick J. Buchanan is with us, the original insurgent.
And uh Patrick J. How's this gonna uh work out?
Well, we're gonna have to see.
I do agree with Kellyanne Conway that uh the Donald is probably behind.
I was watching a number of shows this morning, maybe five points or something like that.
Now that's not a huge margin, and I don't know that he has to get up to absolutely even with Hillary, but he's gotta start moving.
There's only two weeks to go, Sean.
How do you do it?
I well, my view would be to uh to I mean, I think most people have made up their mind about Hillary, even those who think uh those who say really I don't like her and don't want her, I'm gonna vote for her.
I think you do it with issues, and I think his original agenda of issues on on the border security, on the trade deal, on the loss of jobs, on foreign wars, on all of these issues, and and select individually the really important things that come out from the WikiLeaks thing and these other revelations.
What about Obamacare?
Look at Arizona.
Arizona supposedly is a swing state.
Okay, Arizona.
You're gonna see your Obamacare, keep your doctor, keep your plan and pay less go up a hundred and sixteen percent this year.
This year alone.
That's clearly a good, not only a good issue, Sean.
I think the the country's gonna see that.
That's being spread by television, uh, regular TV as well as cable TV and the newspapers, it's front page everywhere.
And I think people who understand it, but all those who detest Obamacare and want it repealed are probably already in camp.
Yeah, well, you know, one of the things that Investors Business Daily in that poll suggested, and I went over these polls.
Look, I am being very realistic about the election, about what the results can or cannot be.
And the bottom line is when you look at the states that need to be won by Donald Trump, he needs to run the table.
And uh, you know, I I understand that everyone wants to look at whatever they're looking at and and make up their minds, but Donald Trump needs to win the Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Alaska, Kansas, Nebraska Congressional District, too.
Okay?
They're all they're all solid Trump.
I can tell them for you, Sean.
Indiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Utah.
I think they're solid Trump.
This is where it matters.
He's got to win Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada, Minnesota, or I'll get to another option in a second.
He's got to win Iowa, Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Maine K second congressional district.
Now, if he doesn't get Minnesota, he's gotta get probably a combination of New Hampshire, Colorado, New Mexico.
Mm-hmm.
Which ones is he gonna get?
Well, uh I mean New Mexico has been uh has been very weak for us for a long time.
It's not getting any better.
Colorado is going the other way.
There's no question about it.
Sean, you know, demographically I wrote in in the death of the West uh fifteen, twenty years ago, that the Hispanization of the American Southwest and the American South and our cities and things.
By the way, he could lose Minnesota, get New Hampshire and he'd get to two seventy.
Look, we haven't gotten Minnesota since nineteen.
Exactly.
But there was a poll yesterday that has it at one a two point race.
Listen, Ray, let me tell you a story.
Reagan won forty-nine states and lost Minnesota, and I went to work for him right after that in the White House, and I said, Forty-nine states.
Not bad, Mr. President.
He said, Pat, we didn't lose Minnesota.
But hang on, can he get with leaning Clinton?
If he can't get New Hampshire, then he's got to get either Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Colorado, New Mexico.
Pennsylvania solved Pennsylvania would not only solve New Hampshire, it would solve the problem of uh losing other states.
Yeah.
Listen, Pennsylvania would solve every problem, but Pennsylvania So would Michigan.
And so would Michigan, you're right.
And so would Wisconsin, which has slipped away, which was at one point he was doing very well in.
Uh yeah, you know, what do you think the biggest problem is?
And and you're saying that a if the election's held today, she wins.
I mean, I th I agree with that.
If it's held today, I think she wins because I think the four or five percent it might come down to uh to lesser than that because of the enthusiasm for Trump.
But the state by state we've been discussing would take it away from.
I think the problem has been the the tendency of the candidate to be pulled away and the campaign to be pulled away from the winning hand of issues that Trump had that had him up as of about five weeks ago to the at the point where he was about equal with uh Hillary and he had momentum and he had these swing states falling in his favor, blue states falling in his favor.
And since then the constant distractions and the women thing and the Miss Argentina and the and the bus ride and all of these things and the tendency to pull the candidate off them so it enables the media to stay on those issues.
What this is what Hillary wants done to stay away from all the big issues like her votes for Warren or her votes on NAFTA and uh her open borders comment to stay away from that and focus on Donald.
Do you think Obamacare could push it back in his favor?
I think uh look the the news on Obamacare is only good because it's proven that the Republicans are right and what Trump is saying is right, and the thing has probably got to be pulled back and w reworked at least and repealed and replaced.
I mean, it makes his argument the argument is now made.
I mean, a court would slam down the gavel and say, you know, we rule in favor of what the Republicans said would happen.
Yeah.
All right, so let's go let's go from here.
Let's go over the states you'd think you'd play in.
Well, I think you look, you've got to have Ariz I mean good good heavens, if Texas I would you've got to have Arizona, you gotta have Georgia, but y as you mentioned, Florida, or North Carolina, Ohio are indispensable.
You gotta get those.
Then you get Nevada, and if you get Iowa, then you've got to get one more.
That means uh I think uh New Hampshire, but New Hampshire's I mean, my old friend uh Joe McQuaid's uh been attacking Trump.
He doesn't want him, he endorsed a libertarian, I think.
Yeah, that's painful, and I agree.
What do you make newspaper a great guy?
I've never seen anything like this, though, in all the years I've been doing this, which is thirty years in radio and and twenty-one years, can you believe it on the Fox News channel?
I don't even think you were on CNN twenty-one years, were you?
Oh, listen, I'd probably been thrown off by then.
Am I doing something wrong, Pat?
I think you decided to run for president too much.
Yeah, that's true.
You are back and forth like a uh yo-yo at some points.
Um but y but I've never seen anything like this.
The Republican establishment against him, the globalist establishment against him, the Democratic establishment against him, and WikiLeaks more than anything has proven what I've been saying is journalism is dead, the media establishment.
There's a story out today.
Ninety one percent of media coverage of Trump has been negative.
I saw that.
But what does it tell you?
It tells you that Donald Trump on trade and on foreign policy and on immigration and on other issues that are the that go along with the conservative agenda of the party, the populist conservative, nationalist conservative, they are an extraordinary threat.
They are the great threat to the establishment of this country and what you're seeing is the two wings of the same bird of prey coming together.
All the forces uh of the of the central government and the national establishment are coming together.
They might call themselves Republicans or what independence or whatever, but they all are one when their vital interests are threatened, and that's what Trump does.
Threatening the R we learned in the latest email WikiLeaks dump of sixty five big name reporters who work for the elite media coordinating their stories with Hillary Clinton's campaign staff.
By the way, no Fox News reporters made the list at least thirty eight top national reporters attended a dinner with John Podesta at his house in April of twenty fifteen.
The Clinton campaign sent out the invites to New York reporters in April of twenty fifteen and and it goes on and on.
Now the the Clinton campaign emailed a detailed the guest list as compliant reporters I I mean and it's everybody you would know and then some but look Sean if you go I don't haven't gone to the White House Correspondent Center for a long time.
I've never been once thank you.
Even even Obama got up there when he first was elected and said now I'm here I am I'm glad to be speaking to my base or something like that and they all laugh.
They all know it's true.
And not only is the overwhelmingly that they support the candidate as they did Kennedy and as they did Humphrey but also the savagery of the media and frankly they've they they will admit many of them that look we're not we're not re reporting the quote news or what he says we're telling you when he's lying and they'll say lying right in the lead in the headlines I've never seen it this bad and it's it's the permanent problem for the conservative movement.
The great adversary of conservatism is located in the media.
What happens let's take a step back here.
What happens on November ninth if Paul Ryan and all of these other uh so-called conservatives that have been involved in sabotaging and all the never Trumpers and the Wall Street Journal and NRO guys and they all get their way and Hillary gets to pick however many Supreme Court justices and all of the people that did support Donald Trump how angry are they going to be and what does that mean for the Republican Party's future?
Well that's a that's a great question Sean I think this I'm gonna be I'm gonna be angry very young in the Goldwater era and I know that you know Nixon did the right thing.
He went out though he disagreed with Goldwater campaign for him in every state and went out to thirty five states my wife was with him as a secretary and I wasn't with her then but she was a secretary.
And when he it ended Rockefeller and Romney and Scranton and those guys that had cut Coldwater and ditched him and ruined his convention they never made it.
Nixon and Reagan were two guys that stood by Goldwater in that 44 state defeat and they were the ones that rose.
Now I read that how um how moral and great and progressive and these guys did who have dumped John Trump and cut him dead and how they're going to do really well and they're the rebuilders of the party.
I really don't think so.
I don't think guys when you're you're at Gettysburg and you've lost Gettysburg that the guys that weren't there or that knocked you are the ones at whom you elevate in honor and reward.
I think you're gonna have I don't I think a lot all these folks that have abandoned uh abandoned Trump I don't think any of them will ever be nominated for president of the United States.
And that means uh John Kasich that means Jeb Bush that means Lindsay Graham that means they're I think Bush Republicanism is dead.
I really do.
I think the ideas it's big ideas what were they you know quote immigration reform which was another word for amnesty he had this wars in Iraq and all that you know we're gonna make democracies out of all these countries in the Middle East and send troops to do it our great trade deal they're standing up there with Clinton signing on to NAFTA, Jim Baker and all the guys and Mr Bush Sr.
So all these trade deals they're behind all of them.
How do they what are they going to do?
Go out and say we will write about these deals and we're going to work with Hillary and implement them?
I don't know if Hillary can even implement TPP now because she herself realizes what Trump has been saying on these trade deals the country has been hearing and agreeing with.
Yeah I look I agree with you on the trade deals.
This has gotten So far out of hand, and you know what a sad state.
I mean, I thought Trump's line about Flint, Michigan.
It used to be the cars were made in Flint and Dirty Water was in Mexico.
Now you got the cars made in Mexico and Dirty Water and Flint.
You know, there used to be at one point, Pat, over 85,000 GM workers in Flint, Michigan.
There's like eight thousand now and four to now.
In the first decade of the twenty first century, uh, we lost fifty-five thousand factories and six million manufacturing jobs.
That's almost one in three of all the manufacturing jobs we had.
You just, you know, bombed what we've done to our own industrial base is pretty much what the uh eighth Air Force did to the industrial base of Japan.
And what uh you know, Bomber Harris did to the industrial base of Germany.
We blew it all up, only differently.
We've dismantled it, sent it all abroad, sent the jobs all abroad, all the energy, all the technology that goes with factories, sent it all to China.
China's the greatest manufacturing country in the world.
And when I was in China, Sean, they didn't even have street lights in Shanghai.
I was there with Nixon.
It was a place run by a bunch of mad monks, and it was hardly a car on the streets.
You know, let me ask you this, because I think this is very important.
Do you think the Republic do you think this movement of Trump win lose a draw continues?
Because I think it does.
I think this is the first shot fired.
Well, it's not only gonna get it.
Because I'm gonna tell you right now, I I can't support the Republican Party as it's currently configured.
I I can't support people that are weak and don't fight.
I can't support people that not only that, Trump.
I mean, it's the the problem with the establishment, which I've never been able to understand, is that it's not only unaware of what's going on, when it is given wake-up calls, it goes back to sleep.
Look, the immigration issue we discussed it back in 1991-92, out in the San Diego corridor.
We said, gee, you gotta build a fence here.
They got three five thousand people walking in on the weekends.
That the tree that the manufacturing jobs were starting to go.
They knew NAFTA was unpopular.
They saw this stuff developing and they did nothing about it.
Do they think they're gonna go back and say we got a new free trade agreement with a massive worldwide free trade agreement, or we need open borders?
Hillary's running away from that.
And if they continue down that road and they send another army to the Middle East and another army to the Middle East, I mean this you know, this country, the the people will react then as they did now only exponentially.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable times.
You know what the sad thing is?
You know who's getting screwed in all this, Pat?
American workers, 95 million Americans out of the labor force.
We don't represent them anymore because we represent open borders, and they represent big companies that want cheap labor.
That's what they represent, and it's sad.
Sure, they live they represent the people that pay their salaries.
I mean, look at the guys on the hill.
Once the election's over, they respond to the guys that write the big ticket checks, the chambers of commerce guys, the business round tables, the big corporate guys, and they love this globalization.
I mean, they're headed for Davos and Dubai, and they can move their factories over where they produce cheaply and then bring all the goods back to the USA.
Well, listen, you know what, Pat I'll be honest, uh, you're not gonna suffer.
I'm not gonna suffer, but our kids will.
And our grandkids will.
Well, that's exactly what why the the millennials are having a real problem.
Look at how Americans have turned against so-called free trade.
All right, Pat, I got to run Patrick J. Buchanan, the original insurgent.
Thank you for being with us.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
And if you already have health care, then we're gonna reduce costs uh an average of twenty-five hundred dollars per family on premiums.
the Affordable Care Act.
The Affordable Care Act is bringing the cost of healthcare in our country down, In both the public and private sector, and that is what is largely responsible for the deficit coming down.
He passed the Affordable Care Act, a goal strived for by presidents starting with Teddy Roosevelt.
It required him early on to use up almost all of his political capital.
He prevailed where no president had done before.
He was right.
He was right.
He cut a hundred billion dollars.
A hundred billion dollars from the federal debt over the next ten years.
Have the affordable care act.
That is one of the greatest accomplishments of President Obama, of the Democratic Party, and of our country, and we have already seen nineteen million Americans get insurance.
We have seen the end of pre existing conditions keeping people from getting insurance.
We have seen women no longer paying more for our insurance than men, and we have seen young people up to the age of twenty six being able to stay on their parents' policy.
I've always said that the Affordable Care Act was something that was transformative.
It helped us honor our promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to the American people.
Life, a healthier life, liberty to pursue their happiness, people's individual happiness because they could not they wouldn't be job locked.
Stay in a job because someone in the family had pre-existing medical condition or that they did themselves.
If you're between jobs, or you've got uh a passion, you want to start a business, and uh you're not gonna have health insurance.
This gives you the opportunity to get high quality health insurance, and for most people under 30, it's probably gonna cost you less than your cell phone bill uh or your cable bill, less than a hundred bucks.
And then in some cases, insurers just set their prices too low at the outset because they didn't know what the insurance pool was going to look like.
And then they started losing money.
And so now they've decided to significantly increase premiums in some states.
Now it's these premium increases in some of the states in the marketplace that sometimes attracts negative headlines.
Remember, these premium increases won't impact most of the people who are buying insurance through the marketplace because even when premiums go up, the tax credits go up to offset the increases.
So people who qualify for tax credits, they may not even notice their premiums went up because the tax credits cover.
And keep in mind that these premium increases that some of you may have read about have no effect at all if you're getting health insurance on the job or through Medicaid or Medicare.
So for the 80 plus people who already had health insurance, if your premiums going up, it's not because of Obamacare, it's because of your employer or your insurer.
Even though sometimes they try to blame Obamacare for why the rates go up.
It's not because of any policy of the Affordable Care Act that the rates are going up.
Keep your doctor, keep your plan, save on average per family twenty-five hundred dollars a year.
Well, that's not happening.
It hasn't been happening, and now this is only the latest in what is now been serious, significant increases in people's health care.
On average per family, you've seen $4,100 in premium increases since Obamacare has become the law of the land.
This year alone, one in ten Obamacare uh enrollees will lose their current health care plan.
So much for keeping your doctor and keeping your plan.
And according to Bloomberg, 1.4 million people in 32 states, they will be looking for new plans when open enrollment begins because their old plan ceased to exist.
As a matter of fact, due to excessive losses, 17 of the Obamacare's 23 approved health care cooperatives now have shut down.
Then you've got United pulling out, then you've got Aetna pulling out, then you've got Blue Cross, Blue Shield in many states pulling out, and many of the other big insurers also.
Humana is reducing their coverage by close to 90%.
United is reducing its coverage from 34 states to just three.
Aetna's cutting nearly 70% of its coverage with a plan to offer health insurance in just two hundred and forty-two counties next year.
In other words, your choices are shrinking, your doctors have left, and your prices are going through the roof.
Let's go over the numbers.
Uh, because this is the big story.
It is the collapse of Obamacare.
Another big government promise is breaking down.
What a shock.
It never was going to be financially doable.
I told you at the time.
But anyway, Obamacare premiums are skyrocketing.
Uh if you look at, for example, you got a great deal of jumps over 50 percent.
And if you want to look at states, let's see, approved hikes 93 percent in New Mexico, hikes to 50 to 92 percent in Arizona, Illinois, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania.
Hello, Pennsylvania.
How are you?
You have up to a ninety-two percent increase.
Tennessee, hikes from thirty to forty-nine percent, Alabama, Delaware, Hawaii, Kansas, Mississippi, and Texas.
But they're saying on average a minimum of twenty-five percent.
Now, if you really want to look at some of the uh internals of all of this, if you look at Medicare spending and hospitals, well, the result is the report archives of internal medicine show more deaths at lower spending hospitals.
Get this 17,822 seniors died over four years in the lowest spending hospitals in California would have survived with more care, according to a report in the Archive for Internal Medicine.
Oh, Obamacare, death panels.
Guys like Hannity were right.
Again.
Joining us now to discuss, Dr. Larry Kawa's with us, Dr. Kathleen London and Dr. Josh Umber is uh with Atlas MD.
Thank you all for being with us.
Thank you.
Thanks for having me back on the Dr. Kathleen London and liberal that you are, you're gonna defend this madness, aren't you?
No, I'm not gonna sit here and entirely defend this, but I do want to make a couple corrections.
While the problems of the individual insurance market are real, they only affect a small fraction.
What was the original Wait, let's set this stage.
What was the original promise by Hillary and Obama?
Keep your doctor wasn't Hillary.
First of all, excuse me, Hillary voted for it and Hillary wrong, Hillary voted for it, and Hillary went out and made the same case herself and Hillary said over and over again you're gonna save money, keep your doctor and keep your plan.
According to Kaiser which is a nonpartisan research group of the 10 and a half million Americans who get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplace, 85% of them receive income-based subsidies to defray the cost.
Okay, you can say that all of you want but that doesn't take away from the fact that you're gonna see a minimum of 25% increases across the board and that you've got one health care provider after another pulling out.
You've got people dying because of the lack of care.
That's what you're talking about and we didn't save twenty five hundred dollars a year.
We went up $4,100 a year.
Larry Cowart, explain.
Well, in response to Kathleen, first of all, there were, she is correct in the $10 million remark.
However, bear in mind that a family of four that has an income up to $94,200 is still considered poor.
Even though they're at 400% of poverty level, they still receive subsidies that, by the way, Kathleen, you are paying for.
I'd also point out that according to that same study by Kaiser, there are 11 million people that are outside of the federal exchanges that have had their premiums raised, and they are paying for that out of pocket.
What you really need to ask yourself, Kathleen, is it worth having our kids borrow money from China to pay for this?
Because you can't give away what you don't have.
You can't stretch a fabric over 32 million more people thinking that it's going to become thicker and have better quality as you stretch it over other people.
We need the public option that we never got to begin with.
back to insurers denying coverage for pre-existing medical conditions.
We can't go back to caps on lifetime coverage.
We can't go back to not allowing children on their policies.
All right, Kathleen, just because you scream it doesn't make it any more powerful, but it doesn't take away the reality.
And that is 1.4 million Obamacare enrollees are now losing their coverage due to excessive losses.
17 of the 23 approved healthcare cooperatives have shut down.
It doesn't take away from...
Can I finish?
Can I finish?
I'm not done yet.
It doesn't take away from the fact that millions lost their plans, their doctors, and are paying on average per family forty one hundred dollars more a year and that's before the dramatic price increases this year.
In other words uh Dr. Umber we have been lied to again by big government and big government again has failed in their promises to the American people.
I I would agree they failed in the the idea that they can actually fix this uh in part because I think we're arguing from the wrong premise that we need to insure everything.
What the direct care doctors like myself and and many others have done is decrease the cost of care to the point that you don't need insurance.
Unlimited visits, no copays, free procedures, and wholesale medications up to ninety five percent less than Walmart or target means we're out competing and and we're bringing market forces to health care to actually decrease the cost curve in a way that helps people regardless if they have insurance.
I think that's the conversation we need to have is we don't need insurance for everything.
It's why we don't have car insurance for gasoline.
What's your answer for that Miss uh uh Clinton and Obama apologist?
Excuse me um I'm Dr. London and I'm also direct primary but you're also an apologist for Obamacare and you can't acknowledge a simple fact, and the fact is we were lied to.
We will lie to repeatedly.
We were lied to by Obama, we were lied to by Hillary, and you won't even acknowledge a simple truth.
Why not?
Sean Sean, this is Larry Cow.
If you don't mind, I could chime in.
Uh, I would like to ask either of the other two doctors, knowing that Obamacare mandates that the insurance companies must spend eighty percent uh on on health care, and they're not allowed to make more than a twenty percent profit.
I I'd like to put both of you on the spot and ask either one of you, knowing that like the average doctor, you probably operated about a fifty to sixty percent overhead.
Would you be willing to make a vow to operate by those same terms and give back anything over uh twenty percent that you make to your patients like you're asking the health care companies to do since they're also private enterprises?
No, because I think that is a ridiculous claim.
Um in a free market, we are free to charge what we can charge, provide the value that we can offer and keep the difference.
Um I think it's just as wrong to ask the insurance companies to do that as it is to ask a private employer to do that.
But that's still not fixing the problem.
It's just fun with the Well, that's why that's what's being asked of the insurance companies.
You just said your own work.
The insurance companies and and I number one, they hide a lot of things in under what they're calling cost and everything else.
Look at the CEO salaries, look what they're giving to shareholders too.
So that's a lot of bunk.
You know, it's it's it's very interesting to me to hear Kathleen go out there and attack the insurance companies, but why can't you admit a simple truth?
That the promise that Obama and people like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi made to the American people has failed.
That they we didn't keep our doctors and plans, millions lost them.
That we didn't save twenty five hundred dollars a year, we paid four thousand one hundred more a year, and it's gonna go up dramatically again this year.
Why can't you just admit that they lied?
Oh, here it is.
Is it Bush's fault?
Is in effect.
It was never in fully enacted.
It's been piecemealed away.
So there's so many things wrong with it.
I this is not the plan uh this is not the plan that was put uh put into effect.
None of it has been fully.
There's so many things wrong with it and it needs to be repaired.
To sit there and say you're gonna repeal it and go back to the way things were isn't the answer either.
No, I think that there are solutions like HSA's tort reform, health care.
In other words, you could also do education reform.
You know, here in the United States, we're forced to go through four years of undergraduate uh college, whereas in Western Europe they go straight into medical school, and that helps reduce the cost of health care.
That still won't reduce the cost because it's not actually reducing the delivery.
Third party companies come in and be incentivized to reduce fraud and abuse.
Sell insurance across state lines because having you know, next year one.
Well an insurance across state lines won't help because that's just one out of the administrative task to the doctors.
Excuse me.
La well, last year, uh there were one out of five people that uh w were um were left without only one out of five people had excuse me.
Last year, one out of fifty people had the choice of only one insurance company.
Today, one out of five, that's ten times more in twenty seventeen, will only have one insurance company to choose from.
Lack of competition invites vulture capitalism and increase of fees.
Ultimately the one that's gonna pay for that is gonna be the taxpayer.
It's gonna be the people who did we forget the three point eight percent surcharge on dividends and on capital gains tax, so it's gonna disincentivize uh entrepreneurship.
I mean, we're forgetting about those costs and the fact that we're borrowing money from China to pay for this.
In New York City alone, just you know, there were two uh but these are people we do have, of course, compassion for, but there are uh financial ramifications to things.
208,000 uh undocumented immigrants for which New York City paid four hundred million dollars for health care.
That's with Obamacare.
Who's paying for that?
The taxpayer.
The New York taxpayer, where you have city and state taxes in in addition, obviously.
You know, Dr. London, I'd like to hear you say the American people were lied to by Obama, Hillary, and Pelosi.
Say it.
They were lodged by the insurance company.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Nice try.
I don't know any insurance company that said you get to keep your doctor, keep your plan and pay less.
Twenty five hundred dollars a year you save.
Do you know any?
I I know I'm spending my time where I shouldn't be.
No, no, no.
I I think I I want to hear you admit my issue that's I want to hear you admit that the promise they made was not true, that they lied to us.
I want to hear you say it.
That's not my issue.
Well, it's my issue.
And you know what?
Excuse me.
And you know what else?
The average family that's paying forty one hundred dollars a year when they were told they'd save money.
It's their issue.
The millions that lost their doctors and plans, it's their issue.
But I guess it's not a problem for you.
You're just a rich doctor.
I guess it's fine.
