Well, we'll get to the Super Bowl later in the program today.
I told you on Friday though, I warned you, don't bet against the Patriots, Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, and Tom Brady.
Whatever it is in terms of a team having it, this, they have been able to crack a code that no other team in NFL history has been able to crack.
You know, when you think the last 18 years, they've been in all these Super Bowls.
There's a reason.
And, you know, and the NFL does their level best with the salary cap and the rules that they have set up.
They try to create a competitive environment.
I'm more for the free market.
If Team A wants to play pay player, whoever, whatever amount of money, they ought to be able to pay that player.
Every other team has the option of paying that player whatever the market goes for.
But they have a lot of salary cap issues.
One thing you can't ignore is somebody like Tom Brady, who often gives back.
He doesn't demand every penny that he could otherwise make and gives back salary cap money so that he can have a better team in front of him.
One of the reasons he's such a good quarterback is he has such a great front line protecting him.
I mean, they had a hard time getting to him yesterday like they had throughout the year and throughout the playoffs.
But there's something special about what the Patriots are doing and what they have done and how they do it year after year in the system they've created.
It is second to none.
And it kind of, I know for some, I was watching some social media commentary, et cetera.
It was a boring game in the sense that you want to see a lot of touchdowns, a lot of action, a lot of back and forth, a lot of drives, a lot of offense.
Well, sometimes it becomes a defensive battle, and it was a defensive battle.
But when push came to shove, it was a pass to Edelman or Gronkowski.
And then when Gronkowski got to the two-yard line, there it was.
But the average, you know, think of the average lifespan for an NFL player, three and a half years.
That's it, in and out.
Then you have Brady talking about playing until he's 45.
I have to say, that's exactly what I was talking about.
You know, that pass, and it was available to Gronkowski.
Gronkowski.
Yeah.
You don't even know who he is.
No, I don't, but I just want to feel like I'm a part of this conversation.
Do you know who Edelman is?
I have no clue.
No clue.
I was on a train to D.C. when this game was.
The train must have been empty.
No, it was packed.
Really?
And can I just tell you one funny thing?
Yeah.
People are watching it on.
Everyone is watching it on their phone, right?
And I hear, oh, geez, oh, and all the screaming.
Was this the quiet car?
Yeah, exactly.
I was dying.
Anyways.
Okay.
Linda knows zero about football, picks the team, picks her team based on whether or not what colors they're wearing, which is insane.
I'm glad you're cracking yourself up.
So it is what it is.
They've cracked the code.
And I know many, well, it also got drawn into the political wars as well.
Do we have to make everything now in life political?
Everything?
You know, I have to read.
And by the way, before we even get started, how amazing was Gladys Knight?
Oh, I have always been a fan.
Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight.
You know, my favorite was, and she passed away, Donna Summer.
Oh, she learned to sing in church.
And I mean, what a set of pipes.
I did not know a lot about the Grammy-nominated R ⁇ B duo, what's it, Chloe and Holly.
Did I say that right?
They were amazing, beautiful young women that they sang the America of the Beautiful.
That was incredible, too.
But then, you know, we can't get out of politics in football, no matter what.
We don't need politics in football.
Now, I did like, because I liked the experience when I was a local host in Atlanta.
There was so much I learned about the civil rights movement back then from the day I became a host to move to the city of Atlanta.
And I was that first day, Maynard Jackson, the mayor at the time, called in.
And I got to know all these guys.
And you saw two of them in the coin toss yesterday, John Lewis and Andrew Young.
And, you know, you add people like MLK and Joseo Williams that I got to know personally and loved.
Amazing people.
And the courage that they showed in the course of their lives.
Joe Lapp.
I mean, these were individuals that took on fire hoses, being pelted with rocks and bottles and hostility at a level that is unprecedented.
And their bravery won the day.
And all these guys come out of Atlanta and did such a great, courageous service for their country.
And I got to know a lot of them.
I felt very honored in the course of my life.
And it changed me on a very fundamental level about what real courage in life can be.
They were courageous men.
But then you got, oh, the Daily Beast.
New England Patriots is the preferred team of white nationalists.
You know, why?
Because Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Robert Kraft like Donald Trump.
And then the comments all over Twitter, the fact that Brady gets a sixth Super Bowl.
Now, people hate Brady already.
If you're on any other, if you support any other team in the NFL and Brady keeps winning, you don't like or you're not cheering for Tom Brady.
I understand it.
They hate him because he's so good.
And then he's also married to a model.
Then that gives them another reason to hate him.
And I just, I look at the guy and I'm fascinated by the enormous talent that he has.
I don't hate success.
By the way, how great was Jim Nance yesterday?
Oh, he's such a great broadcaster.
One of the best sports play-by-play broadcasters of all time.
Then you have social justice issues coming in and out.
The Washington Post Super Bowl ad portraying itself as heroic.
That was like one of my favorites, a heroic organization.
Yeah, but what about all their bias, their scandals, and fake news that they've been responsible for?
Let's not tell the truth there.
So anyway, we'll get into all this.
Herschel Walker is going to check in later in the program.
So we were a little careful on Friday as this story was unfolding about the governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, this guy, Ralph Northam.
Now, remember, he was the one when the issue came up, and there was a bill in the House of Commons in Virginia, and this Kathy Tran woman was questioned about whether or not a woman in the birthing process, in other words, dilation, that's the beginning of giving birth to a fully developed child, if it would be legal to abort that child, which would be infanticide.
And it was this governor that said, well, first, I'll tell you what would happen in a case.
The baby would be delivered.
Okay?
Baby delivered.
The baby then would be kept comfortable.
Okay, baby delivered and comfortable.
Then the mother will decide whether to resuscitate the baby or not.
At that point, that is infanticide.
You're killing a human soul living on its own.
If you don't resuscitate that baby, you're letting that baby die.
That is first, beyond the most grotesque and heartless, evil, dark, kind of mean, it's just, it blew my mind like he didn't even know what he was saying.
It's like some, he's describing a horror movie and not recognizing the evil and the horror behind it.
This isn't about abortion.
This is about gruesome, soulless, bizarre position that some people now take.
And it exposes what has now become a more extreme left wing of the Democratic Party.
And then he says, and then they'll make a, then we'll have a discussion.
A discussion, the baby's comfortable sitting there, maybe struggling for life, and you're going to sit and have tea and crumpets and coffee with the doctor and the mother.
No.
Everybody that I know that says that they're pro-choice, it's usually the first three months.
It's not an abortion debate.
Anyone that I know that says they're pro-choice that I've asked about this says it makes them sick.
But you didn't hear calls for him to be fired over that.
As a matter of fact, all the Democrats, most of the Democrats in the House, the delegates voted for it.
And he would have signed that thing into law, just like similar bill in New York with Andrew Cuomo.
Anyway, so there's now, then this issue comes up of his medical school yearbook and pictures on it of a fully hooded Klansman and pictures of somebody in, quote, blackface.
And anyway, so now we're at the point where Democrats are saying, there's the line.
We'll draw it there.
Okay, which, you know, would certainly seem like the appropriate thing to do to me.
But you have a former longtime House Democrat, Jim Moran.
He's defending Northam, saying that even if Northam did dress up the way he did on several occasions, it didn't mean he can't redeem himself.
All right, so he's got one defender.
And we know that Northam snubbed other people over time.
There's more stories coming out.
You know, Obama campaigned for Northam?
Oh, yeah, while he was campaigning for Northam, we actually went back and found the tape.
And in his remarks, he said a victory for Northam would send a message of the rejection of politics, a division, and of fear, and would embrace one of inclusiveness.
I guess that doesn't count now.
Top Democrats are rallying now for Northam.
And I was watching Terry McAuliffe over the weekend calling for Northam to resign.
And you'd never know it by the media coverage, but McAuliffe kind of played a crucial role in inflicting this guy on the people of Virginia because, you know, Washington Post reported at the time that Virginia Democrats gathered Saturday at the state capitol.
They had a ready-made mantra.
We were welcoming and inclusive, and Donald Trump is divisive and dangerous.
And quote, I can't believe what I read in the newspapers and see on the news about the other side, said Northam.
We all will work together to defeat Donald Trump in 2016.
The speech served to rally Democrats, elevate what is a pediatric neurologist, the party standard-bearer in weight as he builds his gubernatorial campaign.
And he got his formal endorsement from Terry McAuliffe and Mark Warner and Tim Kaine that Saturday morning.
By the way, Tim Kaine was Hillary's running mate.
And anyway, also, we now have more photos have surfaced in this guy's yearbook.
And Democrats, you know, and I'll get into this when we get back.
One of the things that is amazing to me is how many people don't know the history of the Democratic Party on this specific issue.
As of now, he's refusing to resign.
As of now, he might have met with his cabinet members, had a meeting with them during the Super Bowl yesterday.
He's getting a lot of pressure from the CBC.
Those leaders saying he has to resign.
It threatens to complicate the Democrats, you know, on a lot of issues.
But it's much deeper than that.
And that's what I want to get into when we get back.
We'll hit that.
We also have the 2020 race.
We'll tell you how Biden himself is going to have issues that he's going to have to deal with, things that he said in positions he's taken, for example, like on integration.
So we'll get to that today as well.
And so much more news will hit.
I promise.
We'll get it all in 2020 and much more.
All right.
So by now, most of us have started racking our brains.
What Valentine's Day gifts are we going to get for those special people in our lives?

So the Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia denied earlier today a new sexual assault allegation against him, just as people were, many were preparing for him to take over for the embattled governor of the Commonwealth, Ralph Northam.
Lieutenant Governor Fairfax has an outstanding, well-earned reputation for treating people with dignity and respect.
And Fairfax's chief of staff communications director said in a statement, he has never assaulted anyone ever in any way, shape, or form.
Now, by the way, if Republicans in Virginia were like the Democrats, they just would eliminate all due process, all presumption of innocence, and declare him guilty.
Now, he would become the governor if Northam resigns.
And of course, he was revealed in the medical school.
You have a man in blackface standing beside a man in a Ku Klux Klan outfit.
Anyway, this appeared to be referencing a claim from a woman, I won't mention her name, who said that she was sexually assaulted by Fairfax at the DNC convention more than a decade ago.
Quote, imagine you were sexually assaulted during the DNC convention in Boston in 2004 by a campaign staffer.
You spend the next 13 years trying to forget it ever happened, this woman writes.
Then by strange, horrible luck, it seems increasingly like that he's going to get a very big promotion.
And Tyson, this woman, is a professor at Scripps College in California.
This part of a sad and dark politics that Lieutenant Governor has dedicated himself to helping Virginia and the nation rise above.
Now that complicates what the Democrats are going to do if any of this ends up being true.
Now, you notice that I don't rush to judgment.
I don't know what happened.
I don't know this woman.
I don't know the lieutenant governor.
But if it was a Republican, you know the Democrats would go there.
You know, guilt.
I believe her.
How can you look at the case?
Look, Michael Avenatti, I don't agree with a thing he said, but I gave him something he wasn't willing to give Judge Kavanaugh.
And it turned out in his case, after a pretty long investigation, that he didn't do it.
Interesting, isn't it?
Now, I don't know what the Lieutenant Governor, what Lieutenant Governor Fairfax of Virginia, I don't know what he did or didn't do, but they may want to take their time as it relates to this issue.
All right, we got the border battle, State of the Union, and Joe Biden.
Does he have a race problem heading into 2020?
Straight ahead.
Hey, if you're one of 34 million Americans that smokes, you know what a hassle it can be.
For me, I'm out playing golf and I come back smelling like cigars.
It's the smell on your hands and your breath, your clothes.
But now, thanks to Jewel, you don't have to worry about it anymore.
Juul is a vaporizer.
It does contain nicotine for a satisfying transition.
Now, when I found Juul, it was a complete game changer in my life.
I don't smoke any cigars any longer.
And Jewel was designed by smokers for smokers to be an alternative to whatever it is you're smoking.
So if you're one of 34 million adults who do smoke cigars, cigarettes, pipe, whatever, well, there is an alternative to all of them.
Now, to discover the smoking alternative, that's like nothing you've ever tried.
Just visit juul.com slash switchamerica.
That's ju l.com slash switchamerica.
Now, warning, this product does contain nicotine, and nicotine is addictive.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
One of the more bizarre moments is during this press conference of Northam that took place, what, on Saturday, you know, he almost showed off his moonwalk.
And to your point, the people that do that kind of research, perhaps they should have looked at that.
And you said the competition in San Antonio was dance competition?
Yes.
That's right.
Are you still able to move?
Inappropriate circumstances.
My wife says inappropriate circumstances.
Well, if his wife, I guess, wasn't there, what would have come of that?
Just so ridiculously stupid.
Of course, you got fake news CNN when the what looked like a hostage video to me taken of his statement that I think he first released online.
And of course, they identified him as a Republican.
Oh, sure, it was just an accident.
Just like they happened to be at Roger Stone's house at the pre-dawn raid filming the only day they had ever been there, which is pretty amazing.
800-941 Sean, look, the problem I have with all of this is I hate what happens every two and four years on the issue of race and the things that the Democratic Party use every single election.
They use the same playbook, the same terms, and it's all Republicans are racist.
Republicans are sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and they want dirty air and water, kill children, and kill Granny.
And it happens every two to four years.
You know, you got the 98 Missouri radio ad.
Just listen to this ad.
It's an example.
And we just start here, and it happens every election cycle.
When you don't vote, you let another church explode.
When you don't vote, you allow another cross to burn.
When you don't vote, you let another assault wound a brother or sister.
When you don't vote, you let the Republicans continue to cut school lunches and hit start.
You know, really?
So when you don't vote, you let another church explode.
And this was aimed primarily at minority voters in Missouri.
You allow another cross to burn?
You know, in 2000, I won't play it, but, you know, there was the infamous James Byrd ad.
And what it said is on June 7th, 1998, in Texas, my father was killed.
This was the horrific, horrible dragging death that took place there.
Anyway, he was beaten, changed, and then dragged three miles to his death all because he was black.
So when George W. Bush, the governor, refused to support hate crimes legislation, it was like my father was killed all over again.
There's only one missing fact here.
George W. Bush's governor supported the death penalty for James Byrd and the evil that was perpetrated upon this man.
That's just pure evil.
And we can predict this every two and four years.
You know, but you got to remember, everyone seems to forget the party of Lincoln is the Republican Party, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Republican Party.
The party of segregation, the Southern Manifesto, well, that would be the Democratic Party.
You know, 1956, Democrats introduced that manifesto, the document resisting the Supreme Court decision, Brown versus Board of Education and ruling and segregation in schools.
Or you look at the people and the associates of prominent Democrats, everyone seems to ignore them.
Imagine a Republican who said, my mentor and praised his mentor all the time was J. William Fulbright.
You know, praised, Clinton praised him throughout his entire career.
He was a segregationist.
You look at, for example, it was in terms of the Southern Manifesto, it was prominently signed by Democratic members of Congress.
And only two Republicans supported that.
Go back to the 1960s.
This is some of the most important legislation in our country's history, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.
Well, those same Democrats tried to stop it.
Let's see, Al Gore's father among them.
And then you have people like, oh, the guy that would rise to be the former Klansman, Graham Pooh Bah of the Ku Klux Klan, Robert Byrd, Robert KKK Byrd.
You know, oh, he was praised by all these prominent Democrats.
You know, but if you go back to 64 in the Voting Rights Act and the Civil, 65, the Voting Rights Act, 64, the Civil Rights Act, well, you see, 112 Democrats in Congress voted against the Civil Rights Act of 64.
They were the party against it.
In 1965, again, 78 Democrats voted against it.
Only 25 Republicans voted no.
That's fairly recent history.
George Wallace, pro-segregationist, standing in front of the schoolhouse door.
That was, oh, a Democrat.
Al Gore's father, J. William Fulbright.
Robert Byrd, all Democrats.
Robert Byrd, fairly recently.
Never forget the interview.
Why did he get a pass all the time?
You know, Hillary Clinton once said of Robert Byrd, quote, he was a man of surpassing eloquence and nobility.
From my first day in the Senate, I sought out his guidance, and he was always generous with his time and his wisdom.
I admired his tireless advocacy for his West Virginia constituents.
As Secretary of State, I continue to rely on his advice and counsel.
Her mentor?
Today, our country has lost a true American original, my friend and mentor, Robert C. Byrd.
Senator Byrd was a man of surpassing eloquence and nobility.
It is almost impossible to imagine the United States Senate without Robert Byrd.
He was not just its longest-serving member.
He was its heart, its soul, and its historian.
From my first day in the Senate, I sought out his guidance, and he was always generous with his time and his wisdom.
I admired his tireless advocacy for his West Virginia constituents, his fierce defense of the Constitution and the traditions of the Senate, and his passion for a government that improves the lives of the people it serves.
Enough.
As Secretary of State, let's go back.
Tony Snow was interviewing the former Klansman in 2001 on Fox News Sunday.
Listen to this.
Well, we don't have it.
Anyway, he said at the time, I've seen a lot of white using the N-word in my time, if you want to use that word, but we all just need to, whatever.
You know, it's pretty shocking.
Hillary Clinton saying that about a former Klansman.
If it was a Republican, you don't think there'd be a different standard?
You know, it is, you know, go back to the Democratic Party.
It can give you the history of it all, but it would take too long.
It would take an entire two hours to just lay it all out.
You know, look at, you know, the Democratic Party, they'd love to just play this game all the time.
You know, look at Joe Biden, what he said, well, if you want to work in a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts, you have to have a slight Indian accent.
You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
I'm not joking.
All right, then it says this about the man he would eventually serve as vice president for for eight years, Barack Obama.
Now, imagine a Republican, Donald Trump, is saying this at the time about Barack Obama.
You got the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice looking guy.
I mean, that's a storyboard.
You have the first mainstream African American who's articulate and bright and clean.
Wow.
Pretty unbelievable.
You know, look what the president said about what is the modern extreme, what I'm calling the modern extreme radical Democratic Socialist Party.
You know, Elizabeth, almost all of these contenders are running now on soaking the rich in redistribution.
You know, in some cases, as high as 90%.
Ocasio-Cortez, you know, she has a 70% tax rate she wants to take us to.
What do you think people that invest in factories and manufacturing centers, what do you think they're going to do?
They're going to leave.
They're going to pull their money out.
They're going to stop investing.
And then if you have the wealth tax where you pay your income tax, your FICA tax, your state income tax, your sales tax, your property tax, and then you think you, all right, well, I'm able to keep some of my money, maybe 40 cents on the dollar or 35 cents on the dollar.
Well, if you save enough of it, then Elizabeth Warren wants to come back again and take a bite at the apple again and say, well, you have too much.
We're going to take more.
And then if you die, then the federal government takes 40 or 50 more percent.
And if you live in New York and you die, they take another 10% of whatever you saved.
It's legalized stealing.
You got two of the highest profile members of Congress, freshman members, on each side of the aisle trading Super Bowl barbs on Twitter.
You have AOC, Alexandria, we'll just refer to her as AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which is her Twitter handle, swiping at Dan Crenshaw, who I love, following the latter's jab at Ocasio-Cortez's proposed 70% marginal tax rate.
And Crenshaw, shortly after the Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl, asked the following: Should someone propose a 70% tax on the Patriots so that the NFL competition is more fair and equal?
Asking for a friend, which was pretty funny.
And then Cortez writes back: well, the average NFL salary is 2.1 million, so most players would never experience the 70% rate.
The owners who refused to hire Kaepernick would, though.
Oh, so we'll punish the owners.
But this is what the radical Democratic Party wants to do.
The president tweeted out: this is now the party of late-term abortion.
This is the party of redistribution.
This is the party of high taxes.
This is the party of open borders and crime.
That's pretty much it.
And now they're trying, now they're becoming more overt about it where they hid their real positions in 2018.
You know, one of the problems is you have Democrats in the House and Senate, they're beginning to freak out.
They know this is death for their party.
They know these positions are untenable and radical and extreme.
There's not many of them because they won't even speak out publicly here.
And most of those people are saying this is not going to be good in the long run.
Just not.
There's a real fear.
Democrats now have a reason to kind of be upset about Howard Schultz talking about an independent bid for president because there's a new poll that gives them reason to worry.
And the morning console poll shows that anti-Trump Democratic voters are more open to supporting third-party candidates than Republicans.
By the way, just watch Kasich or somebody like Ben Sasse or Mitt Ron, I don't know who.
They're going to try and challenge Trump either in a primary or they'll so hate Trump and the great success we've had, they'll try and undermine him with an independent bid.
It's very obvious.
I'm almost completely convinced now that billionaire Bloomberg is going to get in the race as well.
That's going to be interesting.
But Michael Moore is suggesting the one Democrat that could crush Donald Trump, but only if she were old enough.
Of course, I'm sure he's talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
And Cortez issued a warning to anonymous bigots flooding her office with calls.
By the way, if you ever call anybody in Congress, just be respectful.
I don't care who you are.
Make your points known.
Do it respectfully.
How would you feel if your congressman or woman was treated that way?
I really can't stand it when people are rude for no reason at all.
You got to agree to under not everybody's going to agree with you.
So the problem for Biden now is, uh-oh, you can't work for a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent or Dunkin' Donuts.
And then, of course, what he said about Obama, but also the positions that he supported in 1972.
And when he figured out that his constituents in Delaware opposed integration, specifically busing, he began voting for many of the Senate's anti-busing bills, claiming that he now favored school desegregation but just objected to the forced busing part.
Then as court-ordered integration loomed over Wilmington, Delaware, Biden's constituents transformed their resistance to busing into an organized, angry opposition.
So Biden changed two, and he morphed into a leading anti-busing crusader, all while continuing to insist that he supported the goal of school desegregation.
I don't think that's going to work for crazy Uncle Joe, but, you know, we'll have to see.
Now, we do have a lot coming up on the border.
I would expect in the president's remarks tomorrow, we will be hearing a lot about the border.
You know what this is coming down to very simply?
Do you believe that we should stop the 90% of heroin coming into this country that comes through the southern border, which includes barriers?
Should we stop all the human trafficking, including the trafficking of young girls into prostitution?
Should we stop cartel members, gang members, and maybe even radical Islamists from ever using our southern border as an entry point?
Do you believe that it's in the best safety and security, national security interests of the country?
I hear the Democrats just filed a lawsuit.
They're saying, oh, the president should not be able to use an emergency order that Obama used and, let's see, Bush used and so many other presidents used.
But then the president can send the military down there.
Why?
He just sent 5,000 more people and nobody seems to notice.
And they were down there putting up that razor wire fence.
And what if the 12,000 people in the one caravan, never mind the other two caravans coming towards our southern border, what if they decide to rush and open part of our border at once?
I don't want to see innocent people on that side of the border or our side of the border get hurt.
We're just going to let 12,000 people run into the country.
That becomes a lose-lose situation for everybody.
Are you going to fire tear gas, rubber bullets?
What do you do?
Nobody wants this.
If you have a wall, you don't have that problem.
No one should feel unsafe in your home, period.

All right, glad you're with us as we come to you from our nation's sewer, the swamp, Washington, D.C., obviously the State of the Union coming up tomorrow.
One quick issue I want to get to.
It's fascinating and I would say very bad news for all those in the fake news media.
Remember, on the heels of the BuzzFeed fiasco, that turned out to be wrong.
Wall-to-wall coverage, which has happened so many times, especially during the developments, Mueller investigation.
We got him.
We ate him.
We didn't really get.
Okay.
We got him.
Now we, we did.
Yeah.
You know, and that's pretty much what you get.
You know, that type of coverage from the fake news media.
Exactly.
So we've talked a lot about, okay, this happens all the time.
The media never covered Barack Obama or vetted him the way we did on this program.
The media, they rush to judgment all the time.
They think they finally have impeached Trump just about every single second of every minute of every hour of every day.
And that represents coverage.
And they call them, they still say they're in the news business.
They're not.
They're in the fake news business.
Anyway, this happened with Duke La Crosse.
This happened with what, UVA, this happened with Trayvon and George Zimmerman.
This happened in Ferguson.
This happened, the Cambridge police.
This happened to Freddie Gray in Baltimore.
It happens all the time.
They never told you Obama's eight years were an unmitigated disaster to the economy and on foreign policy.
To this day, they praise him and they just hate all things Donald Trump.
Anyway, so two days after the BuzzFeed disaster, remember, they went after these kids and they took a small mini snippet and ran with a narrative that these kids with a MAGA hat were doing all sorts of things that turns out never came true.
Well, they were given a 48-hour period to apologize, retract their statements, Hollywood liberals, news outlets.
Well, many of these idiots didn't do it.
Now, the Covington kids have hired the single best attorney that is going to win every one of these lawsuits.
His name is Lynn Wood.
He is out of Atlanta.
I got to know him really well when everyone went out against, you know, it became like a media mob attacking Richard Jewell, who turned out to be a hero.
I believe to this day.
It so crushed his spirit.
You know, he died at a very young age.
I have no doubt the stress of this probably contribute to killing this guy.
And, you know, because, oh, he fits the profile of a lone bomber.
He lives with his mother.
And Lynn Wood just sent me, he's going to be doing some interviews about this coming up shortly, and I think hopefully we can be part of that.
And he did send a quote that he's making on behalf of this kid, Nick.
He's the kid that had the MAGA hat.
An attorney's duties to his or her client do not begin inside the courtroom door.
My co-counsel Todd McCourtney and I fully intend to aggressively advocate for Nick, not only in courts of law across the country, but also in the court of public opinion.
An agenda-driven mob trampled on Nick's reputation, permanently damaging him.
And now Nick has no choice except to fight back against the lies and the threats.
His weapon of choice is the truth.
This video is a first step as it destroys the mob's false narrative against this young man.
Nick did not approach Nathan Phillips.
He was confronted by Phillips, who picked Nick as his target.
Nick did not block Phillips' path.
Phillips made no attempt to get around or avoid Nick.
Nick did not verbally assault, taunt, mock, harass, disparage, or threaten Phillips in any way.
Nick remained calm, well-mannered, despite Phillips' loud chants and drum beating inches from his face.
Nick did not utter one word.
Nick's only act was to quietly urge a classmate to refrain from any comments that might aggravate the situation that was created by Phillips and the black Hebrew Israelites.
Phillips did not proceed to the Lincoln Memorial after Nick left to catch a bus.
Phillips turned, walked away, celebrating his, quote, win with his fellow activists.
This video reveals the truth that an agenda-driven media continues to hide from the public.
The truth exonerates Nick and indicts those members of the mob who viciously attacked him while ignoring the truth.
As we proceed in the coming days to pursue justice for Nick in the courts, truth shall remain the most powerful of all weapons.
Wow.
I'm glad there's a nice personal note at the bottom of this for me.
That would be self-serving.
Lynn Wood is a killer attorney.
They're dead.
They're going to lose.
That's my prediction.
We have a lot of deep state news.
Greg Jarrett had broken a story a while back in January.
The Mueller's team knew the dossier kicking off the Trump investigation was biased and defective.
Our own Catherine Heridge hit Fox, confirmed new details that it had happened in August.
And we have Greg Jarrett joining us right now, as well as David Schoen.
Welcome both of you.
Now, this was big then because what Orr did was tell everybody, did he not, that this dossier was created by somebody that hated Trump with Hillary Clinton money that was funneled into a law firm, campaign finance violation, then sent to Fusion GPS.
Greg?
Absolutely.
Right after Donald Trump was nominated as the Republican candidate for president.
Bruce Orr, on July 30th, 2016, meets with Christopher Steele, who authored the phony fabricated dossier.
And what Orr does next is pivotal.
He meets with Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe at the FBI.
But he also meets with two lawyers at the Department of Justice, Andrew Weissman and Zanaeb Ahmad, both of whom are currently lead prosecutors for Robert Mueller's special counsel.
And Orr warned them that Steele was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected.
He said, this dossier comes from Hillary Clinton.
I don't know how reliable it is.
And so here you have two investigators and two lawyers on Robert Mueller's special counsel team that knew this dossier was fake and phony.
And they were, back in the summer of 2016, in on the scheme to frame Donald Trump for things he didn't do.
And now Weissman and Ahmad are lead prosecutors going after Trump, which means that Robert Mueller's investigation is tainted.
It's compromised.
It has lost all credibility and integrity.
And what we also...
Now, this is big that Andrew Weissman was also told about this, is it not?
David Schoen.
Yeah, it's huge.
Look, specifically, for two reasons.
One, under the regulations that appointed the special counsel 600.1, the Department of Justice appointed a special counsel because the Department of Justice found that itself and its employees had a conflict.
Andrew Weissman had the ultimate conflict.
He was already briefed on the lack of credibility of the dossier, so he certainly had an obligation to bring that forward, but he should have been disqualified from the Mueller so-called investigation completely.
First of all, because of his relationship with Hillary Clinton.
There's a case pretty close to right on this in the United States Supreme Court called Young versus United States X-Rail Louis Vuitton.
And basically what it says is you have a constitutional right to an impartial prosecutor.
Justice must satisfy the appearance of justice, and a prosecutor with conflicting loyalties presents the appearance of precisely the opposite.
We know from the start, Andrew Weissman had loyalties to Hillary Clinton.
There's a criminal statute that if he had the hopes of financial gain or a position with the Clinton administration if you'd have win, he also had to be disqualified under 18 U.S.C. 208A.
There are disciplinary rules.
All of these things are huge.
And any defendant who has the guts now to fight a charge that Mueller brings should file a motion to dismiss anything Weissman or Ahmad had to do with the indictment, but also demand a hearing on the conflict.
Because if Weissman even was in the discussions about who to indict, when to indict, that ought to be something that's aired fully in the hearing.
Let's get the facts out.
There's one other piece to the puzzle, Greg, and that is we know that Bruce Orr was serving as a conduit between Christopher Steele and information he was trying to peddle to the special counsel, Robert Mueller, because of the emails we now know.
Is that correct, too?
So even though Christopher Steele was fired for lying and leaking, he was still feeding the special counsel's office.
And now we know that the special, that we now know that Bruce Orr and the lead prosecutor, the pit bull for Mueller, Andrew Weissman, that he was briefed by Bruce Orr.
And basically what it sounds like to me is a lot of this investigation went around and they were using as a roadmap, if you will, the Clinton bought and paid for dossier, just like it was used to lie and commit a fraud on the FISA court.
I mean, I just can't describe with words how terrible this stinks for Robert Mueller and his team of partisans.
I mean, you know, here is Christopher Steele, who's been fired for lying, and the FBI and the Department of Justice are nevertheless using him to wiretap the Trump campaign and not disclosing to the judges that this guy has been fired for lying.
Instead, they vouch for his credibility.
They call him a credible witness.
He was not.
And even after all of that, and Robert Mueller is appointed, Orr continues to try to convey information from Steele to Robert Mueller.
So, I mean, the impropriety of this is glaring and unconscionable.
Pretty amazing.
I mean, I don't know if you saw the blistering op-ed that was put out by Mark Penn and how we learned the Clinton campaign had more contacts with the Russians than the Trump organization.
And then the whole Mueller investigation, you know, into Russia, you know, summed up by a pretty interesting line.
Something struck a raw nerve in this country when 26 agents showed up as the Roger Stone case.
But if you really want, you know, real contact with real Russians, by far the Clintons had it.
And from my understanding, there is a story about to be broken, how it's even deeper than anybody ever thought.
My buddy Mark Simone tweeted out, Russia donated nothing to the Trump campaign, but Russia, after Uranium One, gave, let's see, between all the people involved in that deal, what, $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.
And Trump never did business in Russia, but Bill Clinton did do business in Russia for Trump.
The Trump special counsel team should be investigating Clinton collusion with Russia and the complicity of the FBI and the Department of Justice, including Andrew Weissman, who's on the special counsel team.
And Clinton's campaign paid for Russian information fed to the FBI and the DOJ to damage Trump.
And according to Bruce Orr, at least two of Mueller's prosecutors, Weissman and Ahmad, knew it all along, and so did two of Mueller's investigators, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, who were removed eventually from Mueller's team.
So that is the real collusion in this, and there's no evidence of any Trump-Russia collusion.
We have one other piece that we're going to get to when we get back.
A lot of deep state news, and there's a lot more coming.
And as we continue, we're in our nation's capital with the State of the Union tomorrow.
We continue all this deep state news.
Now we know about the contact confirmed between the DOJ official Bruce Orr and lead prosecutor Andrew Weissman, and we continue with Greg Jarrett and David Kohn is with us.
Geez, I'm losing my mind.
David Schoen, not Cohen.
I'm losing my mind.
I'm trying to do 10 things at once here.
David, let me go to you, if I may.
We also know, so the FISA warrant then and all of the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for stuff, everybody knew it was false.
So Comey signs off on the October FISA as if it's true, and then he tells the president-elect in January that it's salacious and unverified.
Then in congressional testimony, says it's still unverified.
How could he, in good conscience, ever sign it because everything of Bruce Orr warning everybody wasn't true?
They couldn't in good conscience sign it and didn't sign it in good conscience, I'm sure.
Let's not forget also that all of these folks have a long history together.
Comey, Weissman, Mueller.
They all go way back in a circle.
So we're kidding ourselves if we think, you know, this was any arm's-length transaction.
They all knew exactly what was going on.
The conflicts here are unconscionable.
And I just hope that one of the lawyers in the cases and someone who's been indicted will fight it.
Demand a hearing.
The evidence is there to require a hearing.
Demand a hearing so that this gets out under oath in a court of law.
Well, Greg Jarrett, would that work?
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, you know, just look at the FISA violations here.
Half a dozen statutes make it a crime to perpetrate a fraud on the court.
Deprivation of rights, perjury, false statements, obstruction of justice, fraud statutes.
And the people who signed off on it, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Justice Department officials, Sally Yates, Dana Buente, Rod Rosenstein, they all should be the subject of a criminal investigation.
There should be a hearing.
Evidence should be presented to a grand jury.
And, you know, if they violated the law, nobody's above it.
Well, the interesting thing is now that we know that the Clintons were way more involved with Russia than anybody thought before, are we going to have that same scrutiny considering that was their original mandate?
Last quick question, 10 seconds each, David.
No, I mean, that's the point Greg makes and you make.
The real perpetrators here is what the Clinton campaign did.
Need a special counsel.
You've said it many times.
We have to have it.
Mueller can't investigate them.
That's right.
Greg.
Clinton is the one behind the investigation of Donald Trump, launching this investigation based on faulty and fabricated information.
And there ought to be an investigation of that.
All right, we'll continue.
Eric Bowling, next.
Thanks, guys.
The Swamp.
One corrupt politician at a time.
This is the Sean Hennity Show.
You had quite the showdown, the Speaker Pelosi.
What did you learn about negotiating with her?
Well, I think that she was very rigid, which I would expect, but I think she's very bad for our country.
She knows that you need a barrier.
She knows that we need border security.
She wanted to win a political point.
I happen to think it's very bad politics because basically she wants open borders.
She doesn't mind human trafficking or she wouldn't do this because you know.
She offered you over a billion dollars for border security.
Excuse me?
She offered over a billion dollars for border security.
She doesn't want the water security.
She's costing the country hundreds of billions of dollars because what's happening is when you have a porous border and when you have drugs pouring in and when you have people dying all over the country because of people like Nancy Pelosi who don't want to give proper border security for political reasons, she's doing a terrible disservice to our country.
And on the 15th, we have now set the table for border security for political reasons.
She's doing a terrible disservice to our country.
And on the 15th, we have now set the table beautifully because everybody knows what's going on because of the shutdown.
People that didn't have any idea, they didn't have a clue as to what was happening, they now know exactly what's happening.
Well, you know, Shortly, I want to make sure we emphasize the deficiencies that we might need down there, more personnel, more technology.
Well, first of all, we're not going to have a wall.
Now, can we look at some sort of enhanced barrier?
That's something we can certainly look at.
But I have to say, living on the border, you have to let the local Border Patrol chief have the say-so and let the local communities be involved so they can come up with maybe some sort of enhanced barrier.
But again, Washington cannot dictate what sort of barrier and where to put it at.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean, as we come to you from our nation's capital, the sewer, the swamp, known as Washington, D.C. Joining us now is Eric Bowling.
He's a senior political anchor with Blaze TV.
By the way, he's going to be hosting his show for the State of the Union at the Trump Hotel Lobby Bar.
I don't know if that's good or bad.
I've done shows from bars before.
Usually it doesn't work out.
It gets a little dicey in some situations.
How are you, my friend?
Hannity, I'm so excited about this.
I think we're breaking some new ground.
I'm not sure everything has ever been taped live from the Trump Hotel Bar, but the way it's going to go down is we're going to do a pregame show from the studio.
And then while the commander-in-chief is talking, I'm going to run over to the bar.
We have a set up there.
Three-camera shoot, Hannity.
If you want to come by, I'd love to get you one of those.
One of those.
Yeah, you'd love to get me in trouble.
Yeah, you know, I need this, like I need a hole in the head.
I get in enough trouble in my life when I go on stage.
I really, you know, I try to behave myself.
Midnight or when the cameras get knocked over by someone dropping whichever comes first.
Exactly.
All right, let me.
Well, a lot of this is going to deal with the border security issue.
President reiterating again this weekend that he's willing to go it alone, and maybe it's a national emergency or maybe it's not.
But there's fundamental questions that I'm sure he's going to bring up in a speech.
Number one, I would expect the president to explain how things have turned around with the economy.
I would expect the president to deal with what's going on in places like North Korea, a pending summit, Iran, the president's comments about keeping troops in Iraq to watch Iran, his desire soon to get out of, if possible, Syria, Afghanistan, and have, and I think he'll go through his list of successes.
Then I think he's going to make the case about the wall.
You know as well as anybody, you know, all that fentanyl, 90% of America's heroin is coming across that border.
Then we have the 2% of people that are cartel members or gang members and those families, angel moms and dads that have lost their kids to illegal immigrants.
And I think he's got the high ground on what we ought to do.
And it'll be interesting to watch the Democratic reaction.
The beauty of this is that we'll watch the Democratic reaction on Pelosi's face while he's delivering it because she'll be over his screen right his left shoulder the whole time.
I can't wait to see the faces that come out of that.
Look at it this way.
You know, we do know.
I love doing numbers, Sean.
So let's see, he's asking for $5 billion, right?
We spend $4.2 trillion a year as our budget.
Look at this.
So if you have a $100 bill, Sean has a $100 bill.
To keep that $100 bill safe, would you pay one penny?
Of course you would.
We have a $20 trillion economy that we want to protect.
It's working.
Americans are going back to work at record numbers.
That won't be the case if we open up the southern border.
We'll be deluged by people coming from around the world, not just Central America and Mexico.
They'll come from every country in the world because we have a better standard of living than anyone in the world.
So we will ruin our way of living.
So would you protect your $100 bill with a penny?
And that's what $5 billion represents per year, by the way, versus our national spending.
It's a thing.
It's a true.
Well, if you look at, look, in 2018, that's the year the Democrats hid who they really were.
You know, the president tweeted out last week.
Well, we know who they are now, and they're getting more open about it and trying to out-extreme each other in an attempt to bring into their fold the radical extreme left wing of the party, which represents the base of the party.
But everything we told you that they wanted to do, endless investigations, open borders, eliminate ICE.
They want their crumbs back.
And they're also now, for whatever reason, five states, the party of infanticide in some cases, like Virginia and New York, which why they would ever want to take on that position is beyond any thinking I understand.
I think they're so angry at Trump that they're going to hand him a 2020 reelection.
You and I talked prior to the midterms.
I saw, you know, we were debating what would happen if the Dems took the House and they took, and I've been saying for a long, and I think you have as well, if the Dems took the House, that's a gift to Trump because they're going to spend the next two years, and they're proving it right now, that they're going to be hung up on investigating Donald Trump instead of coming up with some real policy issues.
But guess what?
They just came up with the only policy issue they've delivered so far is: yeah, we want to be able to kill children, not unborn children, now children after they're born infanticide.
If that's all they got, you know, I'm looking forward to 2020.
We're going to have a ball in 2020.
Well, think of what Governor Northam said.
He said, well, first we'll deliver the baby, and then we'll make the baby comfortable, and then the mother will decide whether or not we resuscitate the baby, and then we can have a discussion with, I guess, tea and crumpets.
And while a human being is laying there, that if any one of us deserves constitutional protection, there's nothing more innocent than a newly born baby, a human being with a soul.
And so it shocks the conscience.
Killing a human being.
I mean, you know, they can play games with, well, heartbeat, yes, or no, but you have a delivered human being.
I mean, what's so, so here's the issue, right?
So this example, you've probably had it on your show a few times, but it's really worth repeating again.
Mother going to the abortion clinic in a car, ready to abort her child.
She doesn't want it.
It's T-boned by a drunk driver.
The drunk driver is charged with a double homicide.
Not just the mother, but the unborn baby too.
Well, if that's a homicide in the eyes of the law, why isn't what she was about to do if she arrived at the abortion clinic, instead of getting killed on the way there, she would be doing the same thing that the drunk driver did to the baby?
So isn't what the mother is about to do a homicide as well?
We're not even talking about an honest.
I know friends of mine, they define themselves as pro-choice.
They listen to this and they agree with us that this is infanticide.
You know, they're talking about maybe the first three months, maybe the first trimester.
And with modern medicine and technology, all the excuses that Northam then went on to make, you know, he's talking about things that would have been identified much earlier in the pregnancy.
With, I mean, you can test for any possible anomaly that may exist or any type of genetic issues that might exist or health issues that might exist in the baby.
What did you make of his, well, multiple answers and positions now as it relates to the picture in his medical school yearbook?
Listen, I'm just going to tell the Dems is just be consistent.
If Northern had an R in front of his name, like CNN had originally, but if it was an R instead of a D, how would you be treating them treating him the same way?
I think he's going to have to step down.
He can't govern effectively.
But, Trump, can I ask you a question about State of the Union real quick?
Yeah, you go ahead.
You asked me questions.
You just take over my show and start asking the questions.
Go ahead.
See if I care.
Trump, if you're Trump, how do you lay the groundwork for February 15th at midnight, February 16th in the morning?
I mean, are you going to basically tell the world, either get on board or we're going to declare a state of emergency?
You need to grease this wheel so that it's no surprise February 16th with a plan.
Well, I think the president's been clear.
Listen, we've had the precedent.
Nobody's really paying attention, but just last week, the president sent 5,000 more troops down to the border.
Now, we have three separate caravans as we speak that are coming up.
One has as many as 12 to 15,000 people.
Now, what if instead of what happened last time where they went to a port of entry, they decide to go to an area that has no barrier, no fencing, and people can go 54321 and 12,000 people decide to rush the border?
That's the majority of the border.
Vast majority.
Okay, so if they go to that area, and I talked to Geraldo the other night, he went, oh, that couldn't happen.
And I'm like, yeah, it really could.
It would be an unmitigated disaster.
How do you defend against that?
We were on the Laredo border with two, kind of two legal ports of entry, one about a quarter mile to our right, one about an eighth of a mile to our left.
And I could walk across the Rio Grande about waste-deep water.
I mean, there are.
Not even waste-deep water.
There are places in the Rio Grande where you can walk across in less than a minute and barely get your shoes wet.
Yes, you need drones.
Yes, you need more border security.
Yes, you need more technological advances and what you need, all the above.
I mean, this is our sovereignty.
People, this is our culture.
See, the president has let that wall down.
We've given up.
We've said we'll take anyone who's seeking a better lifestyle, and that would just absolutely bury us.
It's the 2%.
Let's assume the 98%, and I really believe this: the 98% of people, either from Central America or Mexico, they want what we often take for granted, freedom, a better life for their kids and grandkids.
I like that.
But the 2% that are bringing the 90% of all heroin in the U.S. across that border, you know, if I was the president, I'd say, you know, as commander-in-chief, it's my job to protect the American people, and I will do what is necessary, including use the military like President Bush and President Trump did, declare a national emergency like both presidents also did on different issues, and we will build the border wall and we're going to make it a defense issue.
I don't even, I don't, I think he's got two options, and I would say I'm doing it to prevent drugs from coming into this country, the human trafficking, which has gotten way out of control, and it involves even young children.
I would do it to protect the American people, and I'm asking Congress to do their job.
If they don't do their job, I will do my job as commander-in-chief and protect the country.
I have made a sworn, solemn vow to do so.
Maybe even ask it in the form of a question: Do you want to eliminate heroin?
Do you want to stop fentanyl?
Do you want to stop human trafficking, drug trafficking, cartels, gang members from coming across the border?
And if the Democrats sit on their hands, we know where they stand.
They're the party of open borders.
And, you know, at some point, they bear some culpability for all the crime that could be associated with them.
Continue.
Eric Bowling is with us.
He's going to be in the Trump Hotel doing his pre-show, I guess, warm-up show before the State of the Union in Washington, D.C.
That ought to be a lot of fun.
What do you think that the president, what do you think of this issue of this Virginia governor and the pictures of a Klansman and blackface, et cetera, et cetera, that was in his medical yearbook?
What do you think should happen?
And what do you do with a guy like Joe Biden?
And years ago was an outspoken critic of integration, et cetera, et cetera.
Where does that impact his run for a presidency?
So, Sean, I'm in the campus.
I don't necessarily think that people should be held to some standard that was the norm or not norm 20, 30, 40 years ago.
My problem with Nortom is that he was there.
He was about to do the moonwalk again.
He clearly has no conceptual understanding of how racist what he did is perceived now.
Maybe not necessarily then.
I don't know.
I've never done it.
I have no opinion on that.
However, it is clearly a source fight.
It really ticks off African Americans.
So for him not to just say, I didn't do it or I did it and I'm sorry I did it, but he was actually about to do a moonwalk again and his wife stopped him from doing.
The guy has completely lost the confidence of everyone.
Now, as Lieutenant Governor, he was Lieutenant Governor Fairfax was just on CNN, I think, like a few, you know, a couple hours earlier.
And he said, I'm ready to take over.
And I was elected with a vast majority of the people of Virginia.
So it probably is time for Lieutenant Governor to step up.
But Norton's got to really realize, not because he made a really stupid decision in 1985, but because of the way he's handling it since.
So I think that's, it's up to him to do it.
And the Democrat Party, to their credit, is telling him to step down, too.
All right.
Eric Bowling is going to be at the Trump Hotel doing his show at the bar on State of the Union night, which ought to be a lot of fun.
I'll be working.
If I could, I'd come by and say hello.
Yeah, but if I come by, you're paying.
Anyway.
My tab, yeah.
Eric Bowling, great to have you back.
Thank you, my friend.
800-941-Sean toll free telephone number.
When we come back, news roundup, information overload hour right here on the Sean Hannity Show.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup, information overload.
As we continue, we're in Washington, D.C., our nation's capital, better known as the Swamp and the Sewer.
And obviously for the State of the Union address tomorrow, I want to go back to one of our top stories today.
And this has to do with the Commonwealth of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, who's now embroiled in a scandal surrounding these racist photos that appeared in his medical school yearbook.
This right on the heels, he was the governor that had said about supporting abortion even up until the birthing process begins.
And he went out there, Kathy Trian, whatever her name was, had said, yeah, right, even if there is dilation, sure, my bill would support abortion under those conditions.
And then the governor on a radio interview stated, well, you know, I'll tell you what would happen in this case.
The baby would be delivered.
We'd make the baby comfortable.
We've got to make sure then the baby would be made comfortable.
Then the mother would have the decision if the baby's in distress and needs to be resuscitated.
Well, that decision would be made by the mom.
And then after that, there would be a long discussion between the physician and the mother after they decide whether or not they'll resuscitate a baby that was comfortable, but maybe needs medical assistance.
Anyway, so this whole issue comes out about the yearbook.
And then we have the ever so many changing positions by the governor, many calls to resign.
Interestingly, you know, look, the yearbook's horrible, but so too was his support of infanticide.
I didn't hear any Democrats saying he should resign over infanticide.
It was all about the issue of the Klan photo and somebody in, quote, blackface.
I mean, the guy's just on every level the wrong person.
But anyway, here's some of the evolution of his opinion on this.
My fellow Virginians, earlier today I released a statement apologizing for behavior in my past that falls far short of the standard you set for me when you elected me to be your governor.
I believe you deserve to hear directly from me.
That photo and the racist and offensive attitudes it represents does not reflect that person I am today or the way that I have conducted myself as a soldier, a doctor, and a public servant.
I am deeply sorry.
I cannot change the decisions I made, nor can I undo the harm my behavior caused then and today.
But I accept responsibility for my past actions and I am ready to do the hard work of regaining your trust.
I have spent the past year as your governor fighting for a Virginia that works better for all people.
I am committed to continuing that fight through the remainder of my term and living up to the expectations you set for me when you elected me to serve.
Thank you.
Yesterday, I took responsibility for content that appeared on my page in the Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook that was clearly racist and offensive.
I am not and will not excuse the content of the photo.
It was offensive, racist, and despicable.
When my staff showed me the photo in question yesterday, I was seeing it for the first time.
I did not purchase the EVMS yearbook, and I was unaware of what was on my page.
When I was confronted with the images yesterday, I was appalled that they appeared on my page, but I believe then and now that I am not either of the people in that photo.
I stand by my statement of apology to the many Virginians who were hurt by seeing this content on a yearbook page that belongs to me.
It is disgusting.
It is offensive.
It is racist.
And it was my responsibility to recognize and prevent it from being published in the first place.
I recognize that many people will find this difficult to believe.
The photo appears with others I submit it on a page with my name on it.
Even in my own statement yesterday, I conceded that based on the evidence presented to me at the time, the most likely explanation that it was indeed me in the photo.
In the hours since I made my statement yesterday, I reflected with my family and classmates from the time and affirmed my conclusion that I am not the person in that photo.
While I did not appear in this photo, I am not surprised by its appearance in the EVMS yearbook.
In the place and time where I grew up, many actions that we rightfully recognize as abhorrent today were commonplace.
My belief that I did not wear that costume or attend that party stems in part from my clear memory of other mistakes I made in this same period of my life.
That same year, I did participate in a dance contest in San Antonio in which I darkened my face as part of a Michael Jackson costume.
I look back now and regret that I did not understand the harmful legacy of an action like that.
It is because my memory of that episode is so vivid that I truly do not believe I am in the picture in my yearbook.
You remember these things.
I am simply asking for the opportunity to demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person I was is not the man I am today.
I am asking for the opportunity to earn your forgiveness.
If I were to listen to the voices calling on me to resign my office today, I could spare myself from the difficult path that lies ahead.
I could avoid an honest conversation about harmful actions from my past.
I cannot in good conscience choose the path that would be easier for me in an effort to duck my responsibility to reconcile.
I took an oath to uphold this office and serve the people of this Commonwealth to the best of my ability.
As long as I believe I can effectively fulfill that task, I intend to continue doing the business of Virginia.
I believe this moment can be the first small step to open a discussion about these difficult issues and how they contribute to the greater racism and discrimination that defines so much of our history.
How do you account for one of your nicknames that's listed in the BMI yearbook that makes me anyone coon man?
What's your explanation for that?
My main nickname in high school and in college was Goose because when my voice was changing, I would change an octave.
There were two individuals, as best I can relect, at VMI, they were a year ahead of me that called me Coon Man.
I don't know their motives or intent.
I know who they are, but that was the extent of that, and it ended up in the yearbook.
And I regret that.
And to your point, the people that do that kind of research, perhaps they should have looked at that.
And you said the competition in San Antonio was dance competitive.
Yes.
And it was that you danced to move on.
That's right.
Are you still able to move on?
Inappropriate circumstances.
My wife says, inappropriate circumstances.
Now, it's interesting.
We found a, because we have a Cracker Jack staff, we found there was a moment where there was some campaigning in the Commonwealth in this particular race for Northam by Barack Obama.
And it's interesting what Obama says.
Let's play that.
Folks don't feel good right now about what they see.
They don't feel as if our public life reflects our best.
Instead of looking for ways to work together and get things done in a practical way, we've got folks who are deliberately trying to make folks angry, to demonize people who have different ideas, to get the base all riled up because it provides a short-term tactical advantage.
And so sometimes that can feel frustrating.
And look, I've been in this arena for a while, but what I also know is as frustrated as you get.
The goodness of America, the goodness and decency and hard work and responsibility and sacrifice that's on display by the American people every single day in their communities all across this country, all across this great state, people of every walk of life.
It doesn't matter whether they're white or black or Hispanic or Asian or Native American, whether they're disabled, whether they are gay or straight.
There are people all across this country that want to do things better, that want to work together.
You know, I've gone through this many, many times over the past.
I mean, if you really look at the history and you look at, and this frustrates the living daylights out of me because every two, every four years, every election, I always say the same thing.
Republicans will be accused of racism.
Republicans will be accused of sexism and misogyny, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic.
They want dirty air.
As Obama once said, their plan is for dirty air and dirty water.
No, we don't want dirty air and water.
Or similarly, that Republicans want children to die or granny over the cliff, because if you don't support their big government policies, you must be heartless.
You know, and it goes back.
Well, I mean, we played earlier in the program, you know, the ad, the radio ad in Missouri, 1998.
You elect Republicans, well, black churches are going to burn or black crosses or black crosses are going to be burned on black churches.
That was in, you know, a horrible ad in 1998.
When you don't vote, you let another church explode.
When you don't vote, you allow another cross to burn.
When you don't vote, you let another assault wound a brother or sister.
When you don't vote, you let the Republicans continue to cut school lunches and hit start.
You know, and then you got the James Byrd ad in 2000.
And every single year, and Mitt Romney, I don't want to play all the ads because we've been playing them and I've talked about it a lot.
You know, the Republican Party was the party of Lincoln, the party of the Emancipation Proclamation.
What was the Democratic Party?
They were the party of segregation, the Southern Manifesto.
You know, it was 1956 Democrats who introduced what was known as the Southern Manifesto, a document to resist the Supreme Court decision, Brown versus Board of Education, and the ruling in segregation in schools.
And, you know, people like Bill Clinton's mentor, J. William Fulbright, who he praises so many times and praised throughout his entire career.
Well, he signed that.
Okay, the guy he looks up to, overwhelmingly signed by Democratic members of Congress in 1956.
Only two Republicans at the time supported that.
Then you go to the 60s and two historic civil rights passages that took place, the Civil Rights Act in 64, the Voting Rights Act of 65.
And what do you have?
You have a lot of those Southern Democrats trying to stop those historic pieces of legislation.
You know, look at the no votes for the Civil Rights Act.
It was 112 Democrats in Congress voted against it.
And then for the 65 Voting Rights Act, 78 Democrats in Congress voted against it.
You know, George Wallace, pro-segregationist, Democrat for most of his political career.
And that led up to even Hillary Clinton's mentor, you know, Robert KKK Bird, former Klansman, was the head of the Democratic Party in the Senate for how many years?
And another one, you know, when he died, everybody's praising him.
You know, we can go through this as we have many, many times over the years.
It will be interesting, I think, to watch Crazy Uncle Joe Biden if he gets into the race because crazy Uncle Joe had some positions he's going to have to defend.
We'll get to that on the other side of this break.
Also, Herschel Walker on the Super Bowl from yesterday coming up.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, as we continue News Roundup Information Overload Hour, Herschel Walker at the bottom of the hour talking about the game yesterday.
It's going to be interesting.
How is Joe Biden going to be treated?
You can't go to a 7-Eleven or Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
Cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
It's a front.
I'm not joking.
Looking for a first chance for a mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice looking guy.
I mean, that's a story.
Romney wants to let the, he said in the first hundred days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules.
Unchain Wall Street.
They're going to put you all back in chains.
Oh, Barack Obama is the first African-American to come along, and he's articulate and smart and clean.
What does that mean?
It's unbelievable.
Anyway, early in his career, you look at the life of Joe Biden.
Now, he had a front row seat as it related to the issue of integration and more specifically busing.
In a Senate campaign in 1972, he discovered how bitterly his constituents opposed the method.
And in 73, 74, Biden began voting for many of the Senate's anti-busing bills, claiming that he favored school desegregation but just forced to objected to forced busing.
He's got a lot of issues he's going to have to deal with over time.
That's a pretty bizarre reason, if you're asking me, as to why he claims to be one thing.
And, well, he wasn't.
But Biden's record on racial, so-called racial justice or on racial justice continues to come up as he considers this run.
Because if this is going to impact everybody else, Northam and the rest, the same standard probably is going to be held for him.
All right, quick break.
Herschel Walker on yesterday's Super Bowl when we get back.
We have an amazing Hannity from D.C. tonight.
Kettleman over the middle.
Second and from the two.
First and goal.
Run it in.
And he touched down.
Sony Michelle.
They're taking shots down the field now.
Blitz to the end zone.
81 and something at the three-yard line.
Gilmore jumps up and grabs it.
Burkhead, who scored the game winner in overtime at Kansas City, is the tailback and the ball carrier.
That's Burkhead.
Look at him go.
Burkhead.
All the way to the Rams 33 before Peters was able to finish the play.
116 to go, 41 yards.
Cordona to Alexkowski.
Now you bring out the kicker, clock it, and bring out the kicker.
That will end it.
Belichick's going to become the oldest coach supplanting Tom Coughlin, who was 65 when he beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.
And there it is.
The dynasty continues.
All right, there it is from the big game last night.
Glad you're with us.
24 now till the top of the hour, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, you look at social media, people so angry because the game didn't go as they expected.
You know, well, there wasn't a high enough score here.
It was a great defensive back and forth.
And as I was telling you on Friday, don't bet against Brady Belichick and Robert Kraft.
And this now being their sixth Super Bowl win, nine appearances for Tom Brady.
Joining us is a rock star, athlete, NFL player in his own right, Harsh Walker.
He played for the Vikings, the Eagles, the Giants, and even President Trump's team.
Eama now, by the way, he's on the President's Council of Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.
And how are you, sir?
Great to have you back.
How you been?
Oh, I'm doing well.
And you're 100%.
That was a defensive game.
I think everyone was disappointed.
And you're disappointed when there's not a lot of points scored.
But I think both defenses just play well.
Yeah, I mean, look, it was exciting in the sense.
I think the best moment was when Gronkowski caught that ball at the two-yard line.
All right, now we're finally going to get a touchdown here.
And look, the Rams, you got to give them credit.
I mean, they were within inches on two occasions of getting long-thrown touchdowns, and they just missed.
Well, you know, the defense was playing a great game, and you got to give it to Brady because, you know, that pass he threw to Grunt was right on target.
You know, it was a great pass.
And, you know, and, you know, that you can't count against.
And, you know, the guy is absolutely incredible.
And, you know, the defense of the Rams play well.
They slowed them down.
But when it came down to finishing it off, it shows the reason why the Patriots.
And you can't just say Brady.
You got to say that whole organization because we can talk about Brady, but think about the coaches in the front office as well.
Hey, if he doesn't have a front line that gives him time, I mean, I think this has been part of Eli Manning's problems in the last couple of years.
There's no time to hold and throw the football down the field.
And they're always able to put a great team together, and their tactics and strategies are superb.
Do you know Brady and Belichick?
Do you know these guys?
Well, I know Coach Belichick.
I know him.
I've had an opportunity to meet Brady a couple of times in Solo.
And I told someone that before the game, I said, you know, we've got to think about that whole organization, not just Brady and Belichick.
But, you know, Brady has been to the Super Bowl, like we said, though, humpty numbers of times.
But there's a lot of new faces going as well.
People forgetting about that.
It's not just an all-old New England Patriot team.
Some of a lot of new faces on that team as well.
But that's the thing.
Well, that's what they're able to do year in and year out that so many other teams are not able to do because the average lifespan for a player in the NFL is three and a half years.
And so you have this core team around an owner, Robert Kraft, a coach, Bill Belichick, a quarterback, Brady, a tight end by the name of Gronkowski, and a wide receiver by the name of Edelman.
And, you know, then you have some, then every year they're filling in these other positions, and it's got to have to do with the way that they tactically train their players.
It seems superior to every other team.
Well, that's leadership.
That's leadership, and it starts at the front office with the owner, Mr. Kraft.
And that's what I told someone.
I said, guys, when you got good leadership, things are going to go well.
Those guys are very disciplined.
They're very respectful.
And not to get off of that, but that's what I say we need in this country for people to remember that you got to go to leadership and be respectful.
And that's when things happen and good things happen.
And you see what's happening with the New England Patriots.
Those guys didn't break.
They continued to go on and go on.
Like you said, the game may have been boring, but so what?
They won the football game.
It doesn't matter.
They got the trophy.
There were 30 other teams in the league that have rather been there as well.
And they didn't get an opportunity to play.
And these two teams were there.
You know, it's funny.
I thought it was a great game.
I did too.
You're funny because you read, you can't even get politics out of football.
And we knew that with Colin Kaepernick and taking a knee.
My opinion is very clear.
There's too many people that fought, bled, and died for us to be able to put our hands over our hearts and pledge allegiance and sing the national anthem.
For me, that's the bigger picture.
I think there's other ways that we can fix injustices in society.
I like what the president did with some prison reform issues.
I love what he did with Alice Marie Johnson.
I thought that was a moment that will go down in history.
But look at some of the headlines.
Now, you support a lot was made over the fact that Belichick, Kraft, and Tom Brady are friends with the president.
So the Daily Beast writes an article before the game, New England Patriots preferred team of white nationalists.
And, quote, this was greatest of all time.
Tom Brady's sixth Super Bowl win infuriates Trump haters.
And I'm thinking, can we just not have politics on Super Bowl Sunday or in sports even?
You know, I mean, why do we offer ⁇ why does everything have to now be seen through the prism of politics?
Well, Sean, it is sad that we brought it this far because, you know, now racism is everything.
Kavanak and not kneeling.
You know, that Kevernak had nothing to do with the Super Bowl.
You know, if he wanted to be in the Super Bowl, he should have got on the team.
And I'm not taking anything away from him.
The kid had talent, but now he doesn't want to really play.
No one is ever talking about it because I think he's been offered a job, but that had nothing to do with the Super Bowl.
And now racism is everywhere.
Well, some people, and I hate to see our politicians talking about racism because it's like they got every chance to change things, and they're not doing it.
All they're doing is constructive, whatever the president wants to do.
And that's what is sad to me is I think it's time that we wipe away with all the guys there in Congress because if they wanted to run for president, they had every chance to do it and they didn't do it.
Right now, we have a president in office.
And the reason the New England Patriots are doing a great job, they got good leadership and those guys are following the leaders.
Right now, President Trump is the leader.
Like it or not, he's the leader right now.
We need to support him.
We need to follow him.
And what's great about America is we can vote him out if he doesn't do a good job.
But if we continue to do what we're doing, we lose those rights.
We lose who we were brought up to be.
We're a country of laws.
We forgot about that.
I think everybody has forgot about the law.
They forgot about respect.
And I think they got to remember to do it.
But how can you respect this office when you got people in our Congress that doesn't do it?
They're supposed to be the leaders, but they're the leaders, but they don't show the respect.
So how can you ask for the people to show respect?
So I think we got to get down to what the real deal is.
And what I'm saying is, if you wanted to be president, Ms. Pelosi, you should have ran.
Right now, President Trump is the president.
I'm not saying that you're not supposed to have checks and balances with him, but why debate with him everything he wants to do?
I don't understand that.
You know, there was a rejection by CBS of a pro-flag, anti-capper Kaepernick just stand Super Bowl ad.
It was put out by a company that we know on this program, Nine Line.
And, you know, it was put out by a bunch of vets, an ad featuring soldiers and first responders and, you know, images of military graves decorated with American flags, giving credit to them for protecting the rights of those like even Colin Kaepernick to protest.
Why would CBS reject that?
Well, you know, one thing, you start talking about our military and our first responders.
I'm going to stand with them anytime because, you know, they're the reason we're the best country in the world is because our first responders are military.
So I'm going to stand with them.
And if you said if there are some things that need to be corrected, yes.
But I'm going to tell you, the reason we're the best country we are right now in the United States of America, and we're better than any country in America, is in the war, is because of our United States military.
It got nothing to do with Kaepernick, nothing to do with standing and kneeling.
We have people that died, people that went to fight.
Some of them may not have wanted to, but they gave their life up.
They gave their life up.
They gave their family up.
They gave everything up to go fight.
And yet we're going to complain.
And that's the reason I'm upset right now with what's going on in this country.
You have people that are in office today trying to change this country into places that people are trying to leave from to come here.
We're changing this country into places.
Listen, I just want everybody in America to have a shot at the American dream.
We get that shot when the economy is growing and the president's done such a great job on the economy, you know, and energy independence now.
We're on a path to be, you know, producing more energy by 2025 than every other country combined.
We now have surpassed Saudi Arabia and Russia.
And I got to tell you, though, there were incredible moments.
I could have taken her left.
I could take or leave the halftime show in many ways, but I thought Gladys Knight and her rendition of the national anthem was one of the most inspiring I've ever in my entire life heard.
Even before Gladys Knight got out there, Chloe and Holly, these two young women singing, I thought were phenomenal.
What incredible.
And they're an RB duo, Grammy nominated, and sisters.
And I thought when they performed America the Beautiful, it just they owned the crowd.
It was incredible.
But I was glad to be from Georgia when I heard those two women sing, those two young ladies.
And with Miss Knight, you know, I've always, always been a big fan of hers.
And there's a long story that I tell you sometimes that she did that she didn't have to do for my knees.
And she is absolutely incredible.
She looked wonderful and she sounds beautiful.
And that's what I said about this country, guys.
We're a great place.
We need to come together and quit all this craziness.
President Trump is our president.
He's our president.
He's doing one heck of a job.
If we can just support the man on one thing, support him on one thing, guys, we can see what we can become.
And how can we have this America's dream and everyone is trying to take it away from us right now?
You know what inspires me?
Well, you said it earlier is that it was such a great game.
Politics need to stay out of the game.
You're 100% correct.
Politics never go into any kind of athletic event because, you know, you talk about the Olympics.
You have people from Georgia can get along, people from the United States can get along with athletes from Russia, people from, they compete against each other.
And they even hug when it's over and say, okay, whatever.
But now, whenever you bring politics involved, there's always a problem.
There's always someone coming up with something that has nothing to do with the game, has nothing to do with the game, but they want to bring it, get it involved.
And that's what's sad.
We need to quit that.
We got young people.
I happened to watch a show last night on my way back home from Atlanta, and it was called A Private War.
And it was a true story by this journalist, this young lady that was covering the war.
And I happened to watch young people die.
They were dying because they were in a war zone.
And I said, it is so sad because my God, I keep saying, bring me little kids to me.
But yet we have people in politics that continue to want to not get along.
Even in our United States of America, the best country in the world, our Democrat can't get along with Republican.
Are we serious?
This is the best country, and we can't get along.
That's a problem, Ben.
That's the reason I've said we need to clean this up.
I think we need to set term limits in.
We need to change and wipe it all free and start all new with people like President Trump.
We don't need politicians.
You know what we want?
We may need to draft you and get you into running and you being president one day.
Herschel Walker, stay right there.
We're actually out of time.
I love talking to you.
You're a dear friend.
How's your MMA going?
You doing all right?

Well, I'm not fighting, but Bellator in Connecticut at the Mohican Sun.
Maybe I'll go.
Maybe I'll go down here.
Maybe I'll go hang out with you.
You want to go together?
16 or 16.
Oh, yeah, we can do it.
That'd be fun.
I'd love to.
