Freedom Caucus member Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona, has worked with Angel families and seen first hand the hardships of the border for both Americans and illegal immigrants. The game that the Democrats are playing for political power is a dangerous one. Where the rest of the nation is worried about the safety of their families, democrats in the House and Senate want to continue to pursue the President as a criminal, on the taxpayer’s dime for personal gain and vengeance.The Sean Hannity Show is on weekdays from 3 pm to 6 pm ET on iHeartRadio and Hannity.com.

Busy newsday.
The uh Manafort sentencing is uh expected.
Um I don't think there's gonna be any big surprises there when it comes down.
We'll bring it to you live uh probably within the next hour.
Uh I have never ever.
Now, politicians by their very nature are fearful people.
Something happens to them.
I think some people, especially Republicans, they go with the best of intentions and and they're gonna be tough and they're gonna stand on their principles and they're not gonna compromise and they're whatever they say that they're going to do.
And so often they get to Washington, and I guess it is, you know, let me put my arm around you, son, and let me tell you the way things really are here, and let's uh the reality is, and they go into what you're gonna have to do, and we really need you on this vote.
That I know you said you weren't gonna, you know, increase the debt, or I know you said you weren't gonna vote for yourself a pay raise.
I know you said you were you were gonna vote to eliminate Obamacare, but uh this is what we're gonna do.
It's that uh sadly that happens.
And then there's the intoxication of being in the public eye and the love of being called governors or senator or uh congressman, congresswoman, and it happens a lot.
And it's funny because many of them fear more than anything once they get there that they're gonna lose that.
They so they almost instantaneously identify with that, and they put the little button on, which means I can go on the House floor.
I am a House member.
And so I and I I look if people they work hard, they get elected, et cetera.
But there are other people that go and fight and keep promises.
The person that I think most identifies with fighting for the exact things they said they were gonna do as president, is uh in the case of the president, it's Trump.
I mean, he's fighting every day.
But he's gonna win on this border wall issue, which I told you would happen.
The Senate's gonna vote it down.
Some Republicans don't like the emergency declaration.
But at the end of the day, they can't override his veto.
They're not gonna have the votes, which means the president's gonna get his money, and it's gonna be a lot more than he would have gotten in any of the floated plans that were out there.
Um, but I've never seen fear.
Like, by the way, uh people would ask me in one word that would describe Trump, he's fearless.
The reason he doesn't care.
He just he's not sitting around wringing his hands, worried and wondering what people think of him or what he's saying or what he's doing, as long as he's fighting to do the things that he thinks are in the best interest of the country in being successful.
He is driven to succeed.
He is driven to win.
He is driven, he does like good economic numbers, which we keep getting.
He does like checking off boxes.
He likes what's happening with the energy, likes the fact that he's gonna get his border wall money.
He likes uh when he can get a hostage set free.
He likes remains coming home.
He likes to win these things.
And it's his very nature.
By if you've known him as long as I have, one of the qualities about him is every single thing with him is a negotiation.
It just starts out at one.
You just assume you're in a negotiation.
Uh uh, can you do the show?
I was during the campaign.
Um, I need you, I need you on Tuesday, 20 minutes.
That's it.
20 minute quick hit.
20, I'll give you 10.
But I really wanted 15.
We we settle on 15.
But that's that's who he is.
But that's not how most politicians are.
So now you've got a situation where the Democratic Party, the very people that have mastered the art of identity politics, the people that have weaponized and have as page one through a hundred of their playbook every election season,
Republicans racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, they want dirty air and water, they want to kill children, and they want Granny thrown over the cliff.
That's them.
So when they find themselves now in a situation where there is rampant bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, and they have to deal with it, and they have a new group of radical Democrats.
They almost make Nancy Pelosi look like a traditional liberal, and she's pretty out there far left.
I'm not.
And Nancy Pelosi is scared to death of the likes of Ocasio Cortez, the likes of uh Congresswoman Omar and Congresswoman Talid and so many others.
So I reported this to you yesterday.
The Democrats were supposed to put out a resolution condemning the most recent remarks of Congresswoman Omar that are anti-Semitic, but they didn't have the votes to do it.
I kid you not.
The party that would go after anybody and to listen to Nancy Pelosi's struggle so hard and And making things up, well, I don't think she understood the full weight of what it is she was saying.
She hasn't apologized.
Does she need to apologize?
Well, maybe she may need to explain that she did not.
It's up to her to explain.
Uh, but I do not believe that she understood the full weight of the words.
When you're an advocate out there, as I was, so I appreciate all the enthusiasm that comes into our Congress.
I told you that before that that was me pushing a stroller and holding those on.
So I understand how advocates come in uh with their enthusiasms.
Um when you cross that threshold into Congress, your words weigh much more than when you're shouting at somebody outside.
And uh I I feel confident that her words were not based on any anti-Semitic attitude, but that she didn't have a full appreciation of how they landed on other people, where this these words have a history and a cultural impact that may have been unknown to her.
Imagine Nancy Pelosi ever saying that about a Republican that said something anti-Semitic, racist, sexist.
Uh you think, well, I'm sure that my Republican colleague didn't understand the full weight of the words that were used and how the words landed and were interpreted.
Um, I mean, she's contorting herself into a pretzel.
And they can't get the resolution they want.
And I'll get to that in a second here.
Now remember, this is not Congresswoman Omar's first rodeo, first dive, deep dive into anti-Semitism.
The woman that has said Israel has hypnotized the world, then may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
There's no ambiguity in that statement.
There's no ambiguity in the attack this week suggesting her colleagues uh allege dual loyalty to Israel, which historically has been used by virulent anti-Semites.
You know, she I mean, if you look at the totality of Congresswoman Omar's statements, it is complete, she's completely and Totally obsessed with hating Israel, with being anti-Semitic, our biggest ally in the Middle East, the only democracy in the region, you know, to Israel's been has hypnotized the world.
And may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
Okay, there's no ambiguity here.
And given a recent incendiary statements about Jewish money controlling Congress and conspiracy theories about the evil Jewish state, it's pretty obvious to anyone that has eyes to see that Congresswoman Omar is a virulent anti-Semite.
Period.
Well, but maybe she didn't fully understand the weight.
Maybe she didn't intend it that way.
It doesn't matter to these congressional Democrats.
And they tabled this resolution condemning it as she continues to sit on the foreign affairs committee.
Why?
Because they can't get the votes.
The very people that have mastered the art of identity politics.
Those that are so quick to point the finger.
You know, imagine a Republican in this situation.
And by the way, it's not this selective moral outrage is common.
You know, we saw how Justice Kavanaugh was treated, the issue of how women are treated, how we should treat serious allegations when women come forward.
Okay, Justice Kavanaugh, we're talking about going back to his teenage years, and the guy's what, close to 50?
How many decades and decades ago?
And it didn't matter that, you know, it started with Professor Ford and one person after another after another.
Many, by the way, have uh pulled back on the allegations they made.
That never gets reported pretty much anywhere.
No due process, no presumption of innocence, just proclamations of everybody, I believe.
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe.
And well, they don't seem to have the same system or standards when it comes to the lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia because he's been accused of rape, and there were eyewitnesses that said that they were told at the time exactly what had happened and who did it.
And similarly, another sexual assault allegation.
Nor did they seem particularly outraged over the blackface issues involving the governor of Virginia or the attorney general of Virginia.
So maybe it's not the issue of women, it's only the issue of women only when they can bludgeon Republicans with it.
And it has nothing to do with anything else, just like their proclamation, well, we care.
You shut down the government, we care about furloughed employees.
You didn't care enough to take 10 minutes to go see the president sit down and negotiate a deal.
You didn't care enough about the president offering DACA and dreamers the things you say you want.
You know, it doesn't matter that you all sounded like Donald Trump in the second term of Obama when it came to building border walls.
No, it's all about just like these phony, the biggest whitest net ever cast to try and go on the biggest fishing expedition ever engaged in Washington, D.C. Because their precious Mueller report apparently is not coming back the way they so desired.
The way they've been proclaiming, the way the hate Trump media mob has been misreporting for two years.
So many false allegations about, you know, and then and then the biggest liar in Congress, a guy caught on tape himself conspiring with Russians to dig dirt on Donald Trump, compromising the material.
Yes, naked, naked picture, Donald Trump.
Uh Adam Schiff, you know, oh, he's on tape with Russians, trying to dig up dirt on Trump.
Thought that's what they were looking at.
Democratic Party, they so they can't get enough votes yesterday.
So what they've come up with is it's it's beyond a joke.
They're just going to condemn all examples of racism.
That's not what the issue is here.
And Democrats, you know, the this generic alternative bill.
I have a copy of it.
I'll bring it to you in a minute, is meaningless.
It is an act of cowardice within the Democratic ranks.
I said it yesterday, I'll say it again.
Pelosi is no longer the speaker of the House.
The leader of the spe of the Democrats in the House of Representatives is Congresswoman Acasio Cortez because once she supported Congresswoman Omar and Congresswoman Taleb also has issues involving anti-Semitism.
It was all over.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't have the moral strength to say no as a party.
We condemn virulent anti-Semitism.
Wow.
All right, we'll get to all this.
As the uh show progresses, 800 941 Sean told for a telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Also, Lara Trump is gonna weigh in today.
Looks like Donald Trump's going to win, and he will get his wall money.
It might be a court fight, but he will win legislatively and constitutionally, and we'll get back to that aspect of it as well.
Smoking is not about politics, it's about people.
There are 34 million Americans that smoke.
For me, Jewel was a game changer.
Because you switch to Jewel, it's simple, it's satisfying, and no more smell.
I watch people all the time.
They run outside in the freezing color can be grabbing their cigarette.
Well, with Jewel, you'll take a quick puff and you're good.
That's it.
Now, Jewel is designed with smokers in mind from its form to technology.
It's easy to use, no buttons, no switches.
And the goal of Jewel is to impact the lives of adult smokers by providing a satisfying alternative.
Switch to Jule.
You'll wish you had done it a long time ago.

That's J-U-U-L.com slash switch America.

J-U-U-L.com slash switch America.
All right, this is how fearful they are.
So they didn't have the votes yesterday to just do a straight condemnation resolution on the anti-Semitism of Omar.
They can't do that.
Now, Omar defender, Linda Sarsor is out there attacking Nancy Pelosi for being white.
I'm not making this up in response to this House resolution.
Uh, you have the the woman's march co-chair, Linda Sarsor attacking House Speaker Pelosi is quote, a typical white feminist upholding the patriarchy doing the dirty work of powerful white men.
This is why we wanted Congresswoman Barbara Lee to be the speaker of the House.
Again, Nancy Pel uh Nancy is a typical white feminist.
Ouch.
Now uh Linda Sarsor is out front, as is Ocasio-Cortez out front, as is Congresswoman Taleb out front, defending the indefensible anti-Semitic remarks.
And, you know, to Ocasio-Cortez.
If we called resolutions on sexist statements, a good chunk of Congress would be gone.
And that's who Nancy fears the most.
You got also Linda Sarsor out there.
She's one of the biggest anti-Semites in the country.
You know, frequently and loudly advocating for Sharia law.
We know how women are treated in most countries under Sharia.
She wants publicly, Linda Sarsor applauding the genital mutilation of Ian Hersy Ali.
Recently blaming the Jewish media over negative press.
But yet Sarsaur is beloved by many on the left, and you know, she wouldn't even say that Israel has a right to exist for crying out loud, and she's associated with Lewis Farrakhan.
And we know his anti-Semitism and racism is well chronicled.
So they come up with a resolution basically condemning all hate, and they go through a long list of it because they didn't have the courage of their convictions, and Nancy so desperately doesn't want to be thrown out as speaker.
you From award-winning film and TV star Gary Sinise comes Grateful American, a journey from self to service.
This powerful memoir chronicles the inspiring never before told story of Gary Sinise's journey from aimless teen to theater student to critically acclaimed actor and director, including his portrayal of Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump, which led to his life-changing mission as advocate and supporter for the men and women who put themselves in harm's way in service to our country.
Read Grateful American, a journey from self to service by Gary Sinise.
Available now wherever books are sold.
All right, 25 now until the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Just to reiterate here, is so they can't get the votes to condemn such obvious anti-Semitism.
And then you've got the Alexandria Ocasio Cortez factor, which is well, I'm supporting Congresswoman no more.
And Congresswoman Taleb is doing the same thing.
Then out comes uh Linda Sarswar, a known anti-Semite.
And you know, it doesn't matter that Congresswoman Omar thinks Israel is hypnotized the world, and may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
Nancy Pelosi's like, yeah, but it's okay because she didn't really understand the full weight of uh what it was that she was saying and didn't understand the words, and um the and uh she didn't know how it would land.
That's right, she didn't know how it would be interpreted.
And so Nancy Pelosi, again, the the very people that will jump on anybody.
There, this is the politically correct police out there.
You think that Nancy Pelosi would ever say that about any Republican that said anything remotely, what deemed inappropriate by her and anybody?
Of course they wouldn't.
So now Linda Sarsor is out there, again, reminding you about who's Linda Sarsor, one of the biggest anti-Semites in the country.
You know, applauding genital mutilation of Ian Hersey Ali and blaming the Jewish media and friends with with even Farrakhan himself, you know, saying about the how typical white feminist, that's Nancy Pelosi.
Basically, she's saying, you keep this up, and we're gonna unite, and you're not gonna be speaker anymore.
Nancy Pelosi does is not the speaker of the House.
And if she is, she shouldn't be if she doesn't have the courage to stand up to this.
So what Democrats do last minute, they're scrambling to find a way out of this mess.
And by the way, we're gonna be right back to it because obviously, Congresswoman Omar, this is something she does frequently, and I don't think it's gonna stop here.
Um, one interesting side note to all of this is Pelosi is allowing uh Omar to participate in the editing of this House anti-Semitism, anti-everything resolution.
Well, I guess it's I it's not an anti-Semitism resolution anymore.
It's an anti-everything resolution.
So that, you know, we should, you know, we're gonna give Congresswoman Omar what?
She can spin this any way she wants.
She probably will vote against the same resolution.
And the speaker telling people that uh the draft of the new resolution against anti-Semitism, that's not what it came out as.
Now it does condemn anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values and aspirations that define the people of the United States and condemning anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against minorities as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contrary to the values and aspirations of the United States,
whereas the First Amendment to the Constitution established the United States as a country committed to the principles of tolerance and religious freedom, and the 14th Amendment to the Constitution established equal protections of the laws and the heart of the justice system of the United States.
And then it goes, you know, it just rambles on and on.
And it goes on about all political discourse, whereas white supremacists have exploited, continue to exploit bigotry and weaponize hate for political gain.
Whereas from the political right, center, or left, bigotry, discrimination, oppression, racism, etc., etc.
Uh impugning the due loyalty threaten American democracy.
Whereas the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. taught that the persecution of any American is an assault on the rights and freedoms of all Americans.
And then it goes on to describe self-identified neo-confederate white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen in August of 2017 at the event in Charlottesville.
And then it goes on to talk about it whereas a white nationalist murdered nine African American worshipers in a manual African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
I mean, that's not what this is about.
It's fine, you can do it individually, but this is a way out of doing what they needed to do here.
This is a way they're trying to thread a needle.
And the problem is, is now Congresswoman Omar, Congresswoman Taleb, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, who defended both of them, now is in charge of the Democratic Party.
So they come out with a well, anti-everything resolution because they were fearful of just doing what was right in this case and condemning Congresswoman Omar, who's the guilty offender in this particular play incident.
It goes on.
You have, you know, this scrambling.
Michael Goodwin points out in his New York Post column today.
Looks like the Democrats' anti-Semitic chickens have finally come home to roost this House vote on the resolution condemning anti-Semitism following the comments of Congresswoman Omar has been delayed as Democrats scramble to rewrite the motion to include all forms of prejudice, and progressives like Congresswoman Alexandria Casio Cortez come to the defense of their embattled colleague.
By the way, the declaration does not mention Omar by name, initially set to be introduced yesterday, set out the history of anti-Semitism, other bigotry in America, and Democrats had to delay it to today as the party's leadership is working to reword the statement to include all forms of bigotry, all while facing pressure from now the more radical wing of the Democratic Party that are all out there defending Omar.
Enough that the Democrats couldn't get the thing passed.
You know, that's that speaks volumes about this Democratic Party.
And then, of course, being under attack by Linda Sarsor, the supporter of Sharia and female mutilation.
It's a pretty pretty sick group of people we're talking about.
And then allowing Pelosi allowing Omar to edit the final draft of the statement.
Well, just wanting to just let her write it herself.
Yeah, you have another top Democrat downplaying downplays the Holocaust, says Omar's experience as a Somali refugee is more personal.
This kind of shocked me.
Comments by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn.
He gave an interview to the Hill, and he said that Congresswoman Omar's own experiences fleeing violence in Somalia were more personal than those of Jews who are generations removed from the Holocaust.
He said I'm serious about that.
He said there are people who tell me, well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.
My parents did this.
It's more personal with Omar, Clyburn said.
I've talked to her, and I can tell you she's living through a lot of pain.
I mean, is that now is this gonna be the argument that memories of the Holocaust aren't as painful for the Jewish people as Omar's refugee experience was for her?
You know, maybe somebody needs to remind James Clyburn that, you know, we lost six million Jews in the Holocaust.
We have enough video that uh maybe they should be starting to play it in the House chamber.
Maybe learn something.
Sure sounds like, you know, what are they what is what's what's going on here with this?
Are you trying to minimize what happened in the death camps?
You know, if I was Nancy Pelosi, maybe we got to get another resolution ready.
Then we've got, you know, as this all gets underway here, even more news about this.
And uh Nancy Pelosi basically, you know, there were 12 Jewish groups, including the ADL, when she announced that she had no intention of disciplining Congresswoman Omar.
She's still on the foreign relations committee.
Pelosi even went on, went so far as to insist that Omar was not an anti-Semite, despite what a repeated anti-Semitic remarks.
So I guess Pelosi figures that her party can take her out of speaker pretty quickly, and she's scared to death to do this.
Does it matter how many anti-Semites she appoints to key committees, I guess.
And I guess she figures that the party, I don't know, are they concerned at all about how people are going to react to this?
Pelosi saying Omar's comments invoking anti-Semitic dual loyalty were insensitive, but no indication that she harbors ill feelings towards the Jewish people.
We'll read all the other remarks that she's made in the past.
Of course not.
Who in their right mind would accept that, except maybe every Jewish group in the country, which is telling you to do the right thing and take her off the foreign relations committee.
I don't think the Congresswoman perhaps appreciates the full weight of how it was heard by other people, Pelosi said.
Although I don't believe it was indeed intended as an anti-Semitic statement.
Wow.
But the fact is, if that's how it's interpreted, we have to remove all doubt.
Well, it's not the first time.
Then it goes, it gets even worse for the Democratic Party, because then you got Bernie Sanders jumps up to the plate.
He goes to bat for the Democratic Party's, you know, anti-Semite in the House.
I can't he's anti-semitism is a hateful and dangerous ideology which must be vigorously opposed in the U.S. and around the world.
We must not, however, equate anti-Semitism with legitimate criticism of the right wing.
Wow.
Government in Israel.
Then he attacks B.B. Netanyahu, who's had more moral clarity on the world stage than just about anybody.
Um Linda Sarsork also questioned the loyalty of American Jews who oppose the anti-Semitic Congresswoman.
What where is this all coming from?
Yeah, you see a rise of anti-Semitism in Europe.
You're now seeing it here in this country.
And now you're seeing a Democratic Party that is so enamored with power, doing and saying things that may never would do or say.
And it's all because of fear.
Nancy Pelosi fears losing her job as speaker.
Nancy Pelosi isn't the speaker.
The leader of the House Democrats is Ocasio Cortez.
And when she gave her support for Congresswoman Omar, it was over.
Nancy Pelosi then had to readjust, reconfigure what she otherwise would have done.
That's not a leader.
Joel Pollock said legitimate criticism of Israel is the Democrats' phony excuse for Omar's anti-Semitism.
And she got hit with yet another ethics complaint.
Had an FEC guy on last night that says she could end up in jail based on what they have going on here.
All right, we are we got a lot to get to today.
Also the battle over the border, we're expecting, by the way, uh Paul Manafort's sentencing uh coming out, pretty much a fate of compli, if you've been reading and following where that case is going.
Um, then we've got uh the battle over the border.
You know, if four million, I'm sorry, four thousand homicides doesn't in your mind in a two-year period create a crisis for the American people.
If 30,000 sexual assaults against Americans by illegal immigrant criminals, if that doesn't motivate you and make you see this is serious, or 100,000 violent assaults, or the fact that we now have on track this year for a million illegal immigrants to make it to our border,
the fact that it impacts every single major financial issue we as a country deal with institutions, our educational system, our criminal justice system, our healthcare system.
If you don't see that the cartels and the gangs, the fact that they're importing 90% of America's heroin from the southern border, if you don't see that they are beginning to believe Trump's building the wall and things are gonna get far more difficult, we might as well try and cross now while we still got a shot.
And you watch the Democrats call this a manufactured crisis, the opposite of what they were saying just three short years ago, and that they don't care about dreamers and they don't care about DACA.
I don't know what other arguments you can make.
This Democratic Party has decided they have one agenda with eight congressional committees now committed to casting the widest net possible to find anything.
The biggest fishing expedition ever.
You're watching McCarthyism on display to destroy a duly elected president that they can't get over, beat them.
And if it means have you or have you ever been a supporter of Donald Trump?
And literally, you know, burden probably in the end thousands or attempt to burden thousands with subpoenas and perjury traps.
Joe DeGenova's right.
You cannot Americans can't participate in this because it seems they can't handle what they expect to be a Mueller report that they've been selling for two years that comes out very differently than they imagined, because it never happened.
And all they did was peddle a bunch of lies and fake news and misinformation.
All right, glad you're with us.
lot of breaking news 800-941-SEAN if you want to be a part of this extravaganza we expect the imminent sentencing of Paul Manafort remember in July this is the Ellis courtroom in Alexandria uh By the way, nothing to do with Russia.
Nothing at all to do with Russia.
But he was convicted on five counts of tax fraud.
One count of failure to file a report.
I think this is like the third time this has ever been done.
Let me know in the control room when uh we're getting some news on that.
But anyway, um, five counts tax fraud, one count of failure to file a report with the foreign bank financial accounts known as Farah, uh, two counts of bank fraud, and uh then there was a mistrial on the other ten charges that he faced.
None of the charges involved his work on the Trump campaign at all.
It's not how it's going to be played in the media at all.
The trial was uh, you know that this is like all of the other charges.
How many other people didn't?
Who do we learn, Linda recently didn't file under Furra?
When are they gonna get charged?
Prosecutors, no mercy here.
They he's 69 years old, and prosecutors, Mueller's people want between 19 and 25 years in prison.
Okay, they want him to die in prison, uh, which is fairly obvious.
Some restitution, fines.
Uh, they say Manafort has shown little remorse.
He even lied under oath following a plea deal after the trial, uh, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Well, so we'll see what happens.
Um, you know, with when you look at the Cone case and you look at the Manafort case, there is some, there are lessons for everybody to learn here.
I've told I tell my staff, I tell everybody, pay your taxes.
Do not not file.
You don't have the money, tell them you don't have the money.
You know, only three people since 1966, Linda reminding me here, have ever been convicted of oh, not abiding by completely the Faro.
Who's the one that recently got updated, though?
Some there's a Democrat that had an issue with Farah, and I don't remember which one it was.
I wonder if they're gonna end up being prosecuted.
Uh now, Michael Cohn, I guess, because he cooperated.
I mean, he had instances again on tax issues.
He had instances of lying on bank applications, et cetera, and he got three years in his particular case.
Um, and I don't know why the people around him allowed him to put himself this new allegations out today that what he said before and what he's saying now, I think something as it relates to the attorney.
Uh, You know, that, oh, I changed my remarks because of a joint defense agreement, and they wanted me to change a statement and was blaming someone else, but then they actually looked at the notes written, and the notes don't corroborate what Michael Comb was saying there.
It's like, you know, you're just gonna allow this guy to go before Congress under oath again and again and again when he got convicted for lying to Congress and tax issues.
You know, there is a sidebar to the whole Cone issue.
So New York is interesting.
The uh the socialist state of New York, so New York City has a zillion taxi medallions.
And at one point, and I guess Cone invested in this this stuff, apparently had a lot of them.
And and taxi medallions, you know, at one point I think we were worth like 1.4, 1.5 million dollars.
Now, taxi drivers, I know because over the years I've I talked to everybody and I ask them about their job, how's their day, what's going on, uh, how much they rent the cab for, if they own the cab, some people own it.
There's very few owner drivers out there.
But imagine you were an owner driver.
And imagine that you know you mortgaged everything you had, and you got a million dollars, or let maybe say you bought in at 500,000.
You got your own taxi medallion.
You wanted to, you know, you're willing to drive 18 hours a day, you'll rent it the other eight hours a day, rent it on the weekends and let somebody else drive it and and make some money that way.
They don't make a lot of money.
If they're lucky, they have to pay gas.
They have to pay for the 12-hour shift that they're driving the car.
And, you know, so they they have to work serious hours, a minimum of 12 hours, you know, and these guys some days are coming home with a hundred bucks, maybe a hundred and fifty bucks, two hundred bucks max.
That's like a really good day.
Um, so but somebody invested, let's say they paid 500,000, it's up to a million and a half, so they're looking at that as their retirement money.
Then the city of New York allows in Uber and Lyft.
I don't even share a ride and all these other, you know, all this other competition out there.
Well, that means the taxi business is going down the tubes, but you don't have to pay a million four to drive an Uber or Lyft or share a ride in New York, and now the city that made you pay all that money for a taxi medallion.
Well, now they just decided to change the rules, and anybody can drive.
Anybody can be, quote, a tax or driver, and you have all these apps, and people aren't using taxis as much as they used to, and now the value I think has gone below like a 200,000.
I think it's like a hundred thousand dollars now, right, Linda?
Yeah, it's very, very low.
How does how does the city force somebody to pay all that money?
Um let's just talk about one guy, not Michael Comb.
But I guess because he invested in it, now all of a sudden, what was worth or what you thought was worth so much.
Um, I mean, it's pretty amazing.
Anyway, 800, 941 Sean Tollfree telephone number.
Um, that puts people that that's the government putting people.
They're the ones that set a number, the set number of drivers.
Then they allow everyone else to come in free.
Then the people that were stupid enough to go into business with the city and pay all that money, they all get screwed.
Anyway, we're waiting that Judge uh Ellis on the uh manifort case.
This has nothing to do with Russia collusion.
So the sentencing is ongoing right now, as I just got done saying.
John Sale, former prosecutor, Southern District of New York, Greg Jarrett, author of the number one bestseller of the Russia hoax.
Um, all right, so that we know this has nothing to do with Russia, John, whatsoever.
Um, just like the case of Cone has nothing to do with Russia, just like any of these process crimes have nothing to do with Russia.
Uh, and then, well, people can argue, well, Mueller was able to go after these Russian bot companies and Russian, you know, uh intelligence people that are never gonna be deported and never gonna be extradited to the United States to face the charges, so they're not coming here.
So we're told this is gonna end with what?
Manafort Farrah Act only three times since 1966, tax issues, Cone tax issues, line of Congress.
Was it worth all of this?
John Sale.
Oh hi, Sean.
Uh well, this is something we were talking about the other day.
The uh the way prosecutors can abuse abuse their authority.
You know, what was this case all about?
Judge Ellis, who has a reputation of being sort of a maverick but a very good judge.
During one of the pretrial hearings, I recall he said the vernacular here is this case is about getting this man to sing, but the we have to be careful not to that his singing doesn't become composing.
What she was saying is, of course, the case is being brought because special counsel wanted him to quote unquote cooperate, and that's the danger zone.
What does cooperate mean?
I can tell you that if he had said in his debriefings what they wanted him to say, which could be true or it could be false, he could have the key to the jailhouse.
Instead, because he didn't say what they thought was the truth, he is facing uh sixty-nine-year-old man, a long prison sentence.
Now these guidelines are asking for.
They're only advisory.
The judge is not bound by them.
And one of the things that he's permitted to vary downward about is um they call it the history and the characteristics of the defendant.
Excuse me.
And I think Judge Ellis is going to take into consideration why this case was brought.
I'm hesitant to predict what a federal judge does, but I predict that he's the sentence is going to be way, way lower than the prosecutors asking for.
Well, they're basically saying die in jail.
And I I listen, you gotta pay your taxes, Greg.
I mean, this happens all the time.
Right.
And I keep I I advise friends, just pay them.
Whatever it is.
Now, sometimes the IRS can question things or deductions that are legitimate, et cetera.
You know, like you're the Clintons, you get away with deducting your old underwear.
But if you don't they know this is one area where they're always gonna uh get people, right?
Sure.
Now I I can't defend or condone somebody not paying their taxes or lying to a bank uh during the course of loan negotiations, and these are the things that Manafort was convicted of.
Uh but like John, what troubles me is has been underscored by Judge Ellis, apparently, uh, in the last uh 45 minutes, and that is this case has nothing to do with Russian collusion.
In other words, this case is is well beyond the the original mandate of the special counsel, Robert Mueller.
Uh so they did precisely what uh Judge Ellis feared.
They were trying to pressure and intimidate and to some extent uh extort Paul Manafort into saying something incriminating about Donald Trump.
Apparently, you know, Manafort wouldn't capitulate.
Uh probably because he has nothing incriminating to say about uh Donald Trump.
So what troubles me is a special counsel that goes way beyond the bounds and limits of his mandate.
This was a case that was examined by the tax division and the Department of Justice for roughly a decade, and they chose not to bring charges.
Umler decided to bring charges for one reason only, and that is to force uh Manafort to say something incriminating about Donald Trump in the end, he didn't.
Well, you respond to that, John, and then it gets into the issue if they give something of value, say what we want, and uh we give you a get out of the jail free card.
Well, in their sentencing memo, the government calls him an quote, an i irredeemable felon, which is just such hyperbole, but it would be uh I'm hesitant to use the word hyperbole because uh that word sort of has a little bit of a colorful tone to it, but we're talking about a man's life.
This man has been in isolation, which is virtually solitary confinement.
His health is deteriorating.
And if this case were brought by the United States attorney and it had nothing to do with the special counsel, we wouldn't even be talking about it.
Because after all, there was a lot of money involved and a jury convicted him.
But why, as Greg said, why did the special counsel pick it up only to get him to cooperate?
And I deal with this in my practice all the time.
And if somebody just their truthful testimony does not incriminate the target, that's the person suffers.
And the person gets the rant of the prosecutor.
And uh special counsels have no accountability.
That's the problem and the danger with special prosecutors.
Yeah, what about this wide net that that has now been cast by Congress?
I mean, uh basically just investigate everything and don't serve the American people in any way.
Doesn't seem like uh constitutional oversight to me.
It sounds like a fishing expedition, unlike we've ever seen in history, Greg Jarrett.
Well, there is actually a Supreme Court case that um uh suggests that Congress only has authority in their oversight uh uh abilities to uh examine something that has occurred during the course and scope of the duties of the president of the United States.
So when you're trying to get tax records going back decades, and when you're investigating an organization that pre-exists his presidency and uh conduct that may have no application uh to what Trump has done since the date he was sworn in, that troubles me.
And I think it would trouble jurists as well.
Yeah, all right.
We'll take a break.
We're still awaiting uh that uh sentence uh in terms of Manafort.
Um John Sale and Greg Jarrett are with us.
Also the vote on the House resolution opposing Hay does not mention Congresswoman Omar.
That's going on as we speak.
Right, as we are still awaiting a sentencing of Manafort.
Again, it has nothing to do with Trump Russia collusion.
Apparently that was said in the courtroom by Judge uh Ellis.
Um look, it uh John, these issues are important.
I I I get it.
This was the case, though.
If there's no Mueller, Paul Manafort's a free guy today.
It just is a fact saying, you know, Donald Trump doesn't run for president, Michael Cohn is not in trouble for lying to Congress and lying on loan applications.
And and I'm not condoning it.
I'm telling everybody pay your taxes, they'll get you at some point.
Um, but it does i i what does it say about the entirety of the investigation, which we're told now is coming to an end.
Well well, this is the only person who went to trial.
And Paul Manafort is paying the price for exercising his right to go to trial.
And he still has to face the judges.
Was that a mistake in your view?
Well, hindsight's 2020.
I mean, as a human being, it was a mistake because wouldn't he rather uh walk out with a three-month sentence or a two-month sentence?
But you don't think they would have ever offered that, do you?
Unless he unless look, as Mat as Judge Ellis said, they're gonna put the screws to Manafort in the hopes that he sings or composes.
He didn't sing and he didn't compose, and then when he had a deal, uh, you know, that went south pretty quick too because they didn't believe what he was saying.
Well, he has a year under the rules.
He has one more shot at succumbing to the temptation, and it the government has a year within which under rule thirty-five, they can ask that his sentence be reduced.
Uh he has his choices are going to be to do that or to die in jail.
That's just the the harsh cold reality of it.
What do you say to that, Greg?
John's absolutely right.
Um, but you know Manafort uh didn't have anything to sing about.
Now he could have signed a document composing a false story.
And tragically, we've seen too many cases in which uh unscrupulous prosecutors have uh convinced people in exchange for leniency to lie.
And uh and we know historically that prosecutors have uh been guilty of hiding exculpatory evidence and of falsifying evidence.
So you you know, it would have been difficult for Manafort, I think, uh to have been singing or or composing.
Uh, but he could have done the latter.
All right, we're waiting for the verdict, uh well, the sentencing in the Manafort case, also voting now on this resolution in the House, but they don't mention Omar, more with John Sale and Greg Jarrett on the other side.
We'll continue.
Uh watching two separate things going on simultaneously here.
Uh we do know the Judge Ellis the Third uh said in court uh as the sentencing is now underway.
Um Judge Ellis is known to be a pretty outspoken uh judge that this Manafort sentencing has nothing to do with Russia collusion.
Now remember it was the same judge that said that we know What this is all about.
We know why you're here.
This is about putting the screws to Manafort, hoping that he sings or composes in the hopes that you can get to impeach the president.
I mean, he was that blatant about it.
We're also following a vote in the House that doesn't mention the anti-Semitism of Congresswoman Omar.
Instead, they made a broad, sweeping general resolution against all hate, rather than take on the fury of some of Congresswoman Omar's supporters, the top of the list, of course, being Congresswoman Alexandria Casio Cortez.
But as we wait for this, in fact, to uh come in, the verdict on Manafort, uh, we continue with John Sale.
By the way, he himself was a uh prosecutor at the uh prestigious Southern District of New York.
Many big names come out of there.
Greg Jarrett, number one bestseller, the Russia hoax.
You know, we were dealing, John, with the issue of you know, offering somebody because those words mean a lot.
You know, hoping to put the screws to somebody, that means pressure somebody, threaten jail time.
You're gonna spend the rest of your life in jail.
It ends up Manafort, you know, who's facing anywhere between 19 and 25 years in jail.
He's nearly 70 years old.
That means that's a death sentence for him.
He'll die in jail.
But they put the screws to somebody in hopes they sing.
In other words, talk about people higher than them.
Obviously, they were hoping he'd say something about Donald Trump.
I don't even think he was with the campaign a hundred days, interestingly enough.
None of this has anything to do with the time he was ever with Donald Trump.
And or compose, and I take the word compose to mean just create up a story and you know, whatever you need me to say, I'll say, and you're gonna give me a get out of jail free card.
That is such an enticing incentive for anybody.
And I know these deals are made all the time.
Prosecutors offer, you know, quote, they'll say lighter sentences, but sometimes even no sentences to people if they say what they want them to say.
Now we saw that with uh Jerome Corsey.
He went on TV, said that they want me to lie.
I can't lie to my God, and I can't lie as an American citizen.
I'm willing to I'll I'll spend the rest of my life in jail, but I'm not gonna say something that's not true.
But I think often is the case that people with their back against the wall, knowing human nature, that a lot of people are gonna take the deal.
John Sale.
Oh, well, you're absolutely right.
Uh, because I do this every day, and most people do take the deal.
As much as you tell them you can only cooperate if you that's your choice by telling the truth.
And the person who gets hurt by the system is the person who just what they say is not what the prosecutor wants to hear.
I I gotta tell you in fairness, though, most prosecutors are honorable and decent, but the handful that aren't are a handful too many because the injustice on human lives and you know, Manafort, you mentioned in addition to his liberty, which of course is all that matters, he's also facing losing every cent he has in the world.
Uh he owns a couple of houses, a department of a house.
They're all forfeited pursuant to this conviction.
So he's gonna be penniless as well as his his hill his physical health is apparently deteriorating in a in a fairly severe way.
But but let's just let's just focus on this for a second here.
What if he says um to be honest, uh the the person that was urging me privately in private conversations uh to reach out to the Russians uh to see what they had on Hillary is uh is Donald Trump.
What if he said that?
There's no corroborating evidence of any kind.
You can't prove or disprove that, but I would think that if that was something that Manafort said to the special prosecutor, that would have been of great interest to them, considering that's what their original mandate was.
So there was an opportunity for him to do just that, and probably he wouldn't be where he is today, correct?
If he said that, he'd be going home and sleeping in his nice, comfortable bed instead of an aestar jail.
That's the day you're making my point.
That's the danger.
You know, if somebody let me see, life in jail, or I just throw somebody else down the stairs and lie.
It's more than a danger.
It's uh it's frightening.
It's frightening.
But why is this practice even allowed?
Because you're offering something that you can't even quantify Financially, and that is you can't put a price on someone's freedom.
A very resourceful judge a few years ago equated it to bribery.
It is bribery.
If they if if anyone else did it, you're taking a thing of value.
Well, isn't your liberty a thing of value?
The prosecutors are buying it.
You know, I I look I understand look, uh look, you want to get the you ha you have the low-level drug dealer, Greg, and you really want to get to the guy that's importing the kilos.
You want to get to the guy that's the big big drug dealer, but there are many layers you gotta go through to get to that guy.
They're insulated in most cases.
So you might incentivize the guy that has 12 bags of hero heroin, you know, at 10 bucks a bag, and you threaten him with jail, and then he says who his supplier is, then you squeeze that guy, and then he tells you his supplier is, and hopefully you get your your way up the chain.
But in this particular case, if Paul Manafort had said the words, Donald Trump told me to reach out to the Russians.
He'd get some dirt on Hillary.
He wouldn't be in the situation today.
Um I'm afraid of a process that exists like that.
Right.
Well, I've long argued that if you or I engaged in these kinds of uh threats, intimidation, and uh, you know, we'd be charged with extortion or bribery when prosecutors do it is perfectly okay.
And uh, you know, I I I agree with John that most prosecutors, and I was a defense attorney, um, are good and honest and honorable people.
But but those who are not, um uh are uh are uh wrong headed and they engage in misconduct in my judgment.
Okay, let's go over the people that were appointed.
Look at Michael Flynn, for example.
You know, Flynn's a perfect example.
He didn't lie.
He was set up under the pretense of the Logan Act, which has no application.
Uh and after he uh ended up uh emptying his bank account and had to sell his house, uh still Mueller's team was threatening to prosecute his son, so he capitulated.
He pled guilty.
Um something that the FBI didn't even think that he did.
The agents that interviewed General Flynn didn't think he lied.
Yeah, you're right.
He was going bankrupt.
Yeah, they were probably threatening his son.
I believe that because the son was in business with him.
So he now has a choice to make.
And that is all right, I didn't really lie, but I'll say I did to get out of this and keep my family safe.
I don't think there's a father out there that wouldn't fall on the sword for their own son.
And and that's a danger as well.
And then uh, you know, I'm looking at his case in particular.
I mean, it's it's a s it's uh uh it's unbelievable to me.
You know, this is how we treat 33 year s you know, veterans that call a duty combat duty.
I mean, I'm like, wow, don't we give them the benefit of the doubt a little bit?
And and he would have had he taken the case to trial, if he had the money, if his son wasn't under threat, I believe he would have said I want my day in court.
The first two people he would have called as witnesses are the two FBI agents, including Peter Strzok, who walked out of the building, the White House, and and went over to the DOJ and said, uh, he's telling the truth.
He didn't he's not lying.
Uh John, well, let me add another p piece to this.
So, John, let's look at the team of Mueller.
And I've been very critical.
All Democratic donors, I guess he couldn't find one Republican, one Republican investigator lawyer to join his team.
As she once was the attorney for the Clinton Foundation.
Then you got Mueller's Pitbull, a guy by the name of Andrew Weisman, and Sidney Powell wrote all about her and license him about and licensed to lie.
But Andrew Weisman cost tens of thousands of people their jobs in the Enron case, a case that eventually lost nine-zero in the Supreme Court.
This is a guy that put four Merrill executives in jail for a year, and that was overturned by the Fifth Circuit.
And I'm thinking, you know, and this was a guy that was at Hillary Clinton's quote victory party on election night.
Now, why would Mueller this has always been suspect in my mind?
Why would he appoint such hyperpartisans to be a part of the special counsel team?
Well, I I've never called the Mueller probe a witch hunt, because I we're talking about the president of the United States.
We're talking about the national security advisor to the president, and this brings attention to this abuse of power.
But I see it every day with clients who are maybe the CEO of a company or the president of a bank, and it happens all the time.
And I think any prosecutors who are on a mission and are myopic, and instead of realizing that we want to get to the truth, instead of they think I want to get this guy, whoever the guy is.
So I think the danger is systemic rather than uh But but do you agree that the appearance of impropriety in this case is overwhelming?
I think that when there's an appearance of impropriety in any case, the man in charge or the woman in charge should do something about it.
And I'll add one more thing to what Greg was saying.
I mean, we we had James Comey bragging.
First, Andrew McCabe made a call that, oh, the FBI is gonna go see General Flynn who's in the White House.
And he says, Oh, you don't need an attorney.
Okay, fine, these guys are gonna come over, no big deal.
I guess I guess it's nothing b no big deal.
Then Comey bragging that, oh, we did something, we'd never try to pull this in the Obama administration or the Trump or or the Bush administration.
This is four days into the Trump administration, and that means sending in his agents to literally interrogate somebody after you just told them he doesn't need a lawyer.
That seems unethical to me.
Doesn't that sound unethical to you?
Well, it's in a layman's term, it's a setup.
That's in a layman's term.
Legally, uh the government has a lot of leeway in terms of investigative things they can get away with.
And the trouble what we do is we make different rules for different people.
And that's why I keep stressing, because I see this danger every day, and though that fact situation is a setup, but I think it would stand le a legal challenge.
Well, let me, I guess we'll ask you about that, Greg.
I mean, that sounds to me like a set up.
It's like, you know, Joe DeGenova yesterday said about the 80 people that we have this now the biggest widest net ever laid out in a political search for something, anything that Donald Trump might have done wrong in his life.
And the Geneva said nobody should go before any House committee and do anything but plead the fifth.
Now, what happens if that happens?
What if eighty-two people say, Screw you, I'm not being a part of this?
This is a perjury trap, and they're you're you're it you're looking for a crime.
There's nothing specific you're looking for except the crime.
What would happen if everyone pled the fifth?
Well, you have to do it uh truthfully.
That is uh you you can only plead the fifth if you think that what it is you're going to say would actually incriminate you.
But given the track record of what's going on, where people uh are being accused of making false statements when either you know they were mistaken about information or didn't remember information, and in two cases tried to correct the record immediately, but nevertheless, were accused uh of making a false statement.
I think that anything that you say uh in front of Congress or to the who determines the truth?
Who determines if you're telling the truth?
In other words, uh let's say somebody's you you have Democratic donors and it's me or you uh and w we're in their office, and so they've got to ascertain whether we're we're telling the truth, and they already have a predisposition to hate our political opinions.
Um and you work for the Clinton Foundation and you hate the fact that Sean Hannity has exposed the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One scandal.
Um they determine the truth or what's not the truth.
It's it's based on what they think it is, that not necessarily based on fact.
If there is a record uh that your words are going to be twisted in the law contorted in order to uh prosecute you for anything you say, then absolutely you should take the fifth.
This is the reason why President Trump uh was correct and his lawyers counsel was good.
Don't sit down for an interview uh because it doesn't matter what you say, you run the risk of being accused of making a false statement.
So, you know, I I think that the Geneva has a valid point when he says all of these people ought to take the fifth.
All right, we'll take a break.
We'll come back.
Still waiting the sentencing in the Manafort case.
Uh Judge Ellis has said this has nothing to do with Russia collusion, which is an interesting opening remark.
Also, the House resolution uh that doesn't mention Congresswoman Omar will get the latest on that as well.
President Trump must stop holding American people hostage, let's stop manufacturing a crisis.
This president just used the backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis.
This is a manufacturing crisis.
No crisis exists, and anyone making the argument is most likely guilty of fear-mongering and willfully misleading the American people.
This is a manufactured crisis, and a crisis manufactured by the Trump administration.
This artificial crisis of the president isn't going to justify his appropriating money for a wall that Congress is unwilling to give.
Is there a crisis at the border?
The president said there's a humanitarian crisis at the border.
Is there?
Absolutely not.
We have a challenge.
Oh humanitarian issues of challenges for us.
There is not a crisis at the border.
It's a manufactured crisis for the president to get a political win.
Crisis can have, as we see now, a very elastic definition.
He's determined to convince you there is a crisis at the border.
Even though an intelligence official tell Sinan, quote, no one is saying this is a crisis except them.
I think if you spend the time and you actually talk to border states and angel families, and if you really look at the numbers and the statistics, anybody that says that, and well, I'm arguing they're complicit as now things have gotten worse than ever, because themselves going back into the second term of Barack Obama, and they all sounded like Donald Trump.
Anyway, glad you're with us.
News Roundup Information Overload Hour.
And, you know, the president now is on the verge, in spite of Congress voting down his emergency mandate as it relates to border security and reallocating unspent monies from the Defense Department and elsewhere.
The President's gonna get the wall built, as I predicted he would.
Now there'll be the court challenge aspect of this, but he is he has the law behind him, as I've referred to many times.
10 USC 284 B7 literally says that a president can build uh roads and barriers and lighting to block drug smuggling corridors across international boundaries of the United States.
It's all there in black and white.
That is the law of the land as it currently is configured.
Add to that his role as commander-in-chief constitutionally, it is to protect the American people.
If 4,000 homicides uh in America committed against Americans by illegal immigrants, if that's not a crisis, I don't know what is.
If 30,000 uh sexual assaults in that same period is not a crisis, how do you define a crisis?
A hundred thousand violent assaults.
Similarly, when does that become a crisis?
Ninety percent of the heroin and that comes into this country crosses that southern border.
Ninety percent.
Now, Secretary Nielsen issued a dire warning yesterday.
The new numbers are beyond alarming, and now the Department of Homeland Security is looking at the massive influx that is coming.
Now, part of this is it in part because it seems that the people in Central America, Mexico, and others, they actually believe Donald Trump is a man of his word.
They they actually watch the president make promises and keep them, unlike the hate Trump media mob.
Anyway, but now we're expecting this year alone one million new illegal immigrants to cross the border by the end of the year.
As of this point this year, Border Patrol has apprehended nearly 300,000 individuals.
That's a 97% increase over the previous year.
Border Patrol has also recorded a 50% spike in the apprehensions of violent gang members.
So totally, you know, if you look at this and you look at the numbers and you don't take it seriously, then you've got to think about well, who bears the responsibility.
We had 20,000 children smuggled across the border just during the month of December alone.
Now we know what happens.
Many of these kids are are facing a horrible journey where at least a third of young girls are being raped.
Many are kidnapped, assault is prevalent, and that's not manufactured.
Now let's say I'm right that ninety-eight percent of the people that won't disobey our laws and don't respect our sovereignty are really coming just for a better life for them and their families.
Okay, let's let's let's say my guess 98% are people that want a better life.
Okay, let's take two percent of that million.
Well, that would be 20,000 criminals that would then come across the country.
And meanwhile, the heroin, the fentanyl, the cartels, the drug dealers, the gang members continue to literally get themselves inside of these migrant caravans and they cross over with people that just want a better life.
You know, so Republicans are gonna let this happen.
You know, anyway, is it the time now to build the wall?
The answer is yes.
Joining us Freedom Caucus member, Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona, Tom Holman, former director of ICE, and he was in the uh hearing, he was the one that Kamala Harris was comparing.
Isn't there a perception that the KKK and ICE are similar?
The perception exists, right?
Uh, which was one of the most shocking moments I've ever seen.
Any testimony uh that any and total lack of understanding what ICE does.
Welcome both of you.
Thomas Jews making that ugly comparison, an analogy.
I I have no idea what's running through your brain at a moment like that.
I was sickened by a thought that a U.S. Senator will compare law enforcement officers who strapped a hundred here for they defend this nation.
We've lost over fifty-two of names on that memorial law to call them racists.
ICE officers are enforcing the laws that Congress, Kamala Harris, enacted.
I didn't think Congress is in the business of enacting laws they didn't want to enforce.
So shame on her.
It was demoralizing to the ICE agents who put their lives online every day.
What do you think these guys think wearing that uniform every day and guys out there defending our country to hear a U.S. senator compare them to a racist group?
it is beyond the pale.
Andy Biggs, you're at a border state.
You've seen it firsthand.
You You've also worked with angel families.
You know the hardship.
Losing a child to an illegal immigrant, uh, that pain is never going to go away.
You talk about separation issues, which came up yesterday with Secretary Nielsen.
These 4,000 homicides, that's permanent separation for families.
Uh the person that fixed the separation issue was this president, not the previous president or the president before then.
That also used uh that type of separation policies, unfortunately.
That's correct, Sean.
And these these angel families, uh, they suffer every day, um, and they're they're victims now.
But because we haven't taken the steps to close the border, that Congress should, there will be additional victims coming forward.
And and people who say there's no that that believe that there's no crisis at the border, no emergency at the border, and don't want to enforce our border security and enforce internal laws, they're complicit in the in the uh the criminality and victimization of people that will happen in the next six to twelve months until we get a border well built and up to the city.
But this has to be discussed.
Because I said the same thing on television last night and on radio yesterday.
Anyone in Washington or in with the media mob that is making the case that this is a manufactured crisis, and they want no action to secure the border in the case of Bozo O'Rourke wants to actually tear down the wall, um,
they at some point here become complicit in terms of the violent assaults, the murders, uh sexual assaults, drug-related deaths, predictable drug-related deaths from the very drugs that cross that southern border, the 90% of heroin.
And the same with these lawmakers or governors that back these sanctuary cities that literally are protecting criminal aliens, those that are in the criminal justice system already.
They won't, after they serve their prison time, they're not handed over to ICE as a matter of their laws.
And they're protecting them so they go out and commit more crimes.
That's right, Sean.
And what they've done is they've effectively created a scenario, uh, a two-tier scenario in America today.
You have the law-abiding citizens and those who are here legally, but what's happening is the sanctuary cities, the media, the Congress, uh uh people and c members of Congress who don't take action, they have created an anarchic situation.
So you have anarchy coming across the border because there is no governance to it because if we if they come in, they're coming in now, they're claiming asylum, we're held on them for twenty days, and then we're releasing them.
Uh the violence that's coming across, we don't have effective control of that border, and these people are are going to create future victims.
There's not a doubt in my mind.
And and Tom, as I look over some of the comments made by Secretary Nielsen yesterday, uh she spoke at great length about children that the left keeps talking about here, but they're actually being used as pawns to get into the country.
In other words, you have like these recycling rings where innocent young kids, they're used multiple times to help aliens illegally gain entry, and then they go back and then they're sold out to do it all over again.
On top of the thirty percent of women that are reported have reported sexual assault along the way, or seventy percent of all migrants reporting experiencing uh violent activity uh on their voyage, if you will.
Absolutely.
One out of three women get raped by these criminal organizations.
That's not ice numbers, that's not a DHS number, that's doctors without borders.
So that's the number that comes outside the the government agency.
And and you're and and the children are traffic, children are rented by cartels being over and used over by different people claiming by family unit.
And here's the evidence on that.
During the zero tolerance, when the when there's about twenty five hundred people were separated, the judge ninth circuit said, I want you to reunite these families, I want you to start with the children under five.
There's about a hundred and two of them, Sean, and we waive DNS to DNA tests come back, and six percent of those kids, six of those hundred ladies and the person claiming to be their parent.
Now you extrapolate that to the twenty five hundred hundreds of kids in that small population that victims of person saying, you know, God help them.
Well, you know, where are they at now?
What's happening to these children now?
So the Democrats claim they care about the women and children, but the Democrats and leadership has not done one thing, not one thing to try to slow this surge down.
They've done one thing to try to secure this border.
And I've said it a thousand times.
There's no downside, whether you're Republican or Democrat, there's absolutely no downside on securing our southern border and have less illegal immigration, less drug smuggling, and stop bank rolling the cartels or making billions of dollars off this network.
There's no downside for the Democratic leadership, I've said it many times.
They hate this president more they love this country, they hate this president more they want to secure this country, which is their number one responsibility as a congressman in the center.
All right, got to take a break more with uh Tom Homan, also more with Congressman Andy uh Biggs who's with us.
By the way, he is uh also has a student in Arizona that he's gonna tell us about next who attended his high school uh wearing a MAGA hat or MAGA gear and was uh subsequently suspended from school.
We'll get to that.
We're gonna say goodbye to Tom Homan.
Now, Tom, thank you.
800 nine four one Sean is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
All right, as we continue, uh Freedom Caucus member Andy Biggs of Arizona is with us as we switch gears a little bit here.
Now you've got uh a targeting of this kid in Arizona, I guess a high school kid, he was wearing MAGA gear and he got suspended.
I mean uh are there any dress code violations you can't wear a make America great again gear?
No, Sean, there's and actually there's a group of about eighteen to twenty kids, and they uh showed up as uh at school, USA Spirit Day.
They've got their MAGA hats, some wearing T-shirts, some had uh one person had a a MAGA flag or a Trump flag.
And uh they no problem with the other kids uh according to the reports I called parents, by the way.
I did call to the to into the uh the school, but they wouldn't take my call.
Um but what we what you have is I've read the rules, the regulation, there is nothing prohibiting that.
And I'm just telling you, if somebody would have shown up and and and I'm sure they did an Obama shirt or some uh Ruth Vader Ginsburg shirt, nothing would have happened.
These kids took off the hats and church because faculty told them to.
They didn't put them on until the school day was over, Sean, and they went out to take pictures in the parking lot because the day was over, a bunch of them got together, and uh that's when the the hassle came.
And so I'm telling you, the disruption at school wasn't uh caused by kids on either side, whether you agreed or disagreed with Trump.
It looks like it was uh the word I'm getting it it it was caused by uh some of the leaders at the school itself.
You know, it really so are there gonna be any repercussions, are people gonna be held accountable for this?
Um I mean it's it's kind of uh amazing to me that the word or a hat or the phrase make America great again is somehow a trigger now.
I mean, I I can see some smart ass liberal ACLU defense attorney saying, Well, my client's not guilty by reason he was triggered by a MAGA hat and it caused him to act in ways that he other wouldn't wa otherwise act, and therefore he's not guilty.
He couldn't control himself.
Yeah.
Well, what I would love to see, quite frankly, is the ACLU come in on the side of the kids wearing the the the MAGA hats and saying, you know what, if because if they're a civil liberties uh group, they should be saying these kids had the right to wear the clothes, or they didn't violate any rule.
Uh nothing was going on that that shouldn't have been going on.
And uh and stand up for it.
I'm I'm hoping that uh my understanding is that local uh officials are looking into this and they want to see if they can make things right.
But yeah, we have uh it's a serious problem, not just in my in that one school in my district, but across this country, whether it's the kid getting punched in the face in Berkeley or anywhere else, this license to suppress the right to express your support for this president um is absolutely uh beyond the pale.
All right, Andy Biggs, thanks for being with us.
800 nine four one Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
When we come back, Laura Trump is gonna weigh in on now what is the the single whitest net ever cast in an attempt to harass, intimidate, and frankly undo uh the presidency of Donald Trump.
That's next.
As we continue, Hannity tonight at nine, we will have this and so much more straight ahead.
We will see put together uh a resolution.
I haven't read it yet.
She's bringing it to the monitoring.
She's bringing it to the law.
So you know, where the house is gonna oppose services are what we did on this.
Do you think like you know, with everything to speak with uh Congresswoman Omar to speaking out now?
They jumped right away to do that normally.
They wait.
And I think it's pretty unprecedented to do something so public like this.
But I think we're all very much opposed offerings of pain.
People need to see the video I was part of that panel.
I didn't see she's an incredibly courageous person to speak out against the oppression in Palestine, and I support her by that.
She hasn't apologized.
Does she need to apologize?
Well, they may need to explain that she did not it's up to her to explain.
Uh, but I do not believe that she understood the full weight of the words.
I said when you're Congress when you're an advocate out there, as I was, so I appreciate all the enthusiasm that comes into our Congress.
I told you that before that that was me pushing a stroller and carrying those signs.
So I understand how advocates come in uh with their enthusiasms.
Um when you cross that threshold into Congress, your words weigh much more than when you're shouting at somebody outside.
And uh I I feel confident that her words were not based on any anti-Semitic attitude, but that she didn't have a full appreciation of how they landed on other people where this these words have a history and a cultural impact that may have been unknown to her.
All right, 24 now till the top of the hour.
That was uh the well, she's not really the speaker of the house because she doesn't have any power anymore.
And uh I don't believe that Congresswoman O'Mar's comments repeated anti-Semitic comments.
I don't think she understood the full wheat weight and how it would be interpreted and what it was really meant behind the intent of all of this.
Uh I think the intent is pretty clear when somebody says Israel has hypnotized the world, and may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
And of course, you know, this is one of many anti-Semitic comments that she made, uh, including, you know, over the dual loyalty To Israel question that that historically has been used by virulent anti-Semites.
And, you know, this is just one of a number of things, given her recent incendiary remarks about Jewish money controlling Congress and other conspiracy theories about the evil Jewish state.
And, you know, so it's pretty obvious, Congresswoman Omar is an anti-Semite.
And she's not the only one.
Because then you got Congresswoman uh Talib.
They forgot what country they represent.
This is the U.S. where boycotting is a right and part of our history, historical fight for freedom and equality, maybe a refresher on the U.S. Constitution is in order, uh, then get back to opening up our government instead of taking our rights away.
And she had employed the uh anti-Semitic dual law dual loyalty charge herself.
What country they forgot what country they represent.
What does that mean?
You know, uh, and so that's another problem.
So, and then on top of that, then you got the associations with Linda Sarsor, we've been talking an awful lot about over a number of period of time.
And, you know, we've got 11 pro-Israeli groups now calling for Omar to be removed from the foreign affairs committee, as per usual.
There's absolutely no rush to do it because the Democrats couldn't get the vote to condemn this anti-Semitism.
You know, on the day of the women's march, Sar rejected, you know, Farrakhan's anti-Semitism, supposedly, but that's not her history.
You know, she is now out there campaigning with the likes of Gillibrand and Bernie Sanders, and over and over again.
Uh Sarsor frequently advocated for Sharia law.
She once applauded the genital mutilation of Ian Hersy Ali, if you remember that case.
She recently blamed the Jewish media over negative press, but yet beloved by many on the left and her endorsement sought by Sanders and Gillibrand and others.
Anyway, uh so Nancy Pelosi's now saying, well, instead of having some direct criticism about anti-Semitism, we'll make it about racism and anti-Muslim sentiment.
That that's not the issue at hand here.
That's a distraction.
That is born out of fear because she knows that if she angers this extreme radical group of freshman uh democraticist socialists that she's going to be thrown out of office, especially after the endorsement of Congresswoman Omar by the rock star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is probably the real acting speaker for the Democrats in the House of Representatives.
Joining us now, Jonathan Gillum, former FBI agent, federal air marshal, Danielle McLaughlin, attorney, constitutional expert.
Uh, what part of saying anti-Semitism is wrong?
Why is that a problem for the Democratic Party?
You know, it's not in the resolution which I've read in full, absolutely condemned anti-Semitism and all other forms of bigotry.
I think that's where the Democratic Party is, it's where America should be.
Not the point.
They're unwilling to just take on Omar.
And why is she still on the foreign affairs committee after these numerous anti-Semitic comments?
And do you think Nancy Pelosi would once in her life say about a Republican making a similar statement?
Well, I don't think that Republican understood the full weight of what it was that they were saying, and I don't think that they intended to say something anti-Semitic.
Um, they didn't know how it would be interpreted.
Do you think they'd get the same treatment from Nancy Pelosi?
You know, I think there's a difference to the case.
Do you think they get the same treatment from Nancy Pelosi?
Or would it be absolutely not?
Yeah.
No, they wouldn't.
No, just like Democrats rush to judgment uh when it comes to accusations that are 40 years old with Judge Kavanaugh, but they ignore rape allegations and abuse allegations by the lieutenant governor of Virginia.
They're not and they're not they're not out there, Jonathan, saying I believe in that case.
If a Republican does something, you know, it's go in for the kill.
If a Democrat does it, well, you you you thread the needle and you you're scared to death to say anything.
Yeah, I'd go even further uh step further than that, Sean.
The the the way they treat the Republicans, they also treat the Constitution.
And I've already seen tricklings down of where they're talking about drafting uh this bill to go after what their idea is of hate speech and what their idea is of anti uh Semites Or white supremacists and this.
What they're what I'm seeing is exactly what you predicted with Nancy Pelosi.
They these new socialists that are in there are aligned with extremists like Omar, and they are going to use the pressure, I think, to get her out so they can instill what they believe and ultimately do with the first amendment what they're trying to do with the second amendment, which is in the second amendment, they go after and they use the actions of evil people who do uh terrible things using uh illegally purchased weapons, and then they go after the good law abiding citizens to take away their guns.
They're gonna do the same thing with freedom of speech, and they're gonna turn this around and make Omar look like she's a victim.
And what a joke that they're allowing Omar to participate in the editing of what the final house uh resolution is gonna end up looking like.
Uh oh, okay.
I'm sure that same courtesy would be given to a Republican, but you're not focused on what this woman has said.
When you hear, Danielle, Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
What does that sound like to you?
It sounds absolutely anti Semitic, and I totally get it.
But my own.
So when she makes repeated comments, that makes her an anti Semite, right?
I know.
Well, look at the question.
No, no, no, no.
That's a question.
It makes her an anti Semite when you keep saying it.
Listen, so I tell my kids you can make a mistake.
You do it the second time.
Well, you made a choice.
No, I understand.
And you know what?
She's apologized.
I want to give you an example.
And she's apologize doesn't mean that she doesn't feel this in her heart.
This is who she is, this is what she truly believes.
And she's she's sending the house into conniptions because Ocasio Cortez uh is supporting her, and that means and then the other freshman Taleb is supporting her.
She has her own anti-Semitic problem.
Then you've got a bunch of 2020 candidates wrapping their arms uh around a virulent anti-Semite uh, as we know in L Linda Sarsor.
I mean, she once applauded the genital mutilation of Ian Hersy Ali.
You know that, right?
Yeah, you know that she frequently advocates for Sharia law.
Uh how does Sharia law generally it's practice in numerous ways?
How does it generally treat women?
Well, it's completely uh uh there is no place for Sharia law in this country, and I know that you're not gonna be able to do that.
I didn't ask you if there's any place for uh for Sharia law.
Why would a presidential candidate want the endorsement of somebody that supports genital mutilation, Sharia law, and that's a virulent anti-Semite?
Why are they seeking the nomination of these people or the the endorsement of these people as they seek the nomination?
Well, you can't choose who endorses you.
David Duke endorsed the president.
We know that they that the president did not want David Duke to endorse him, but you can't stop some of these people.
Okay, but David Duke wasn't on the stage as Linda Sarsor was on stage with Gillibrand.
Look, you cannot you cannot make people say or not say things you don't want them to say.
Why are you defending the indefensible here, Danielle?
Why why bother?
This these are virulent anti-Semites.
Israel's the only democracy in the region.
Israel's our closest ally in the Middle East.
Israel, since since its inception, go back to the the 47-48 UN partition plan.
The first day their attack, the 67 war, the 73 war, the endless um numbers of terror attacks that have taken place inside of Israel, as it's been surrounded by enemies its entire existence.
There is a difference between having a critique of Israeli foreign policy or what they are doing in this disputed settlements in Gaza and being an anti-Semite.
The Jewish media, you buying into that?
The Jewish media, that's okay to say?
I'm just saying there's an intellectually honest argument to make that critiquing foreign policy is different than being an anti-Semite.
And you can do one and you shouldn't be the other.
But but Danny, Daniel, Sean, if I could say this, you're correct in that there is a difference.
But here's this thing.
When you look at who these people hang with, uh to Mika Mallory, I have had the unpleasure of being in, it's the only interview I've ever walked out of uh on the radio because there she's so uh just vile in her speech.
And when you look at her, you look at Linda Sarsaur, you look at all these individuals that they hang with, that they identify with, and not just that they may share a comment but have on the stage with them, what you're looking at is anti-Semites, and when somebody makes a comment in Congress and they also outside hang out with these people, they are anti-Semites and they hate this constitution of this country.
And it kills.
What does this tell us, Jonathan, about the Democratic Party that they don't have the moral courage to take this on?
Doesn't it really show that Nancy Pelosi's not in charge?
Doesn't it really show that she is beholden now to the likes of Ocasio Cortez?
Yeah, I mean, I think what Danielle and I love you, you know, I love you to death and uh the rest of the Democrats out there that that I that I have a feeling, you know, a place in my heart for, I think what they're missing is that the Democrat Party that they knew is gone.
And the you know Nancy Pelosi is about as far left as you can go without falling off the communist cliff.
But the these people that are coming in and this vile language that they're using is not something that they're just doing to get ratings.
It's how they feel and how they believe and they are the Democrat Party is fallen to these people.
So what they did is they go into not the the main criticism which brought this issue to the forefront.
What they did out of fear of alienating Congresswoman Omar who is an anti-Semite they now have to water it down Jonathan uh into a general statement about any hate any place anywhere and not mention her by name.
Is that appropriate?
Does that does that work for you?
No, because it doesn't it doesn't it clouds or it completely covers the reality of the ideology that's flipping in through people like Omar.
It does nothing to listen I believe in freedom of speech.
I totally believe in freedom of speech but somebody that comes in and sits in Congress and as Nancy Pelosi says is an advocate for the people what they have to understand is the people that elected Omar and people like her do not like the Constitution and do not like this country and that is an issue that that transcends the First Amendment.
Last word we'll give to Danielle look Republicans do this too Kevin McCarthy criticized George Soros for trying to buy the election that is another anti-Jewish anti-Semitic church.
They didn't have to be a very good slow down how how is that how is that no that's not anti-Semitic George Soros is a multi multi-billionaire that tries to impact elections by spending a lot of money.
Nobody's talking about his religious background just his rigid radical left wing ideology.
Here's another example Donald Trump 2016 used a picture of Clinton with a star of David and a pile of cash anti-Semitic Turk do we think he's anti-Semitic absolutely not what you say is not who you are.
