Austan Goolsbee, a Professor at Chicago's Booth School of Economics and former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers for the Obama Administration, comes to debate Sean on the economy ahead of tomorrow’s jobs numbers. With tariffs on China and Mexico, many on the left are looking to chastise the President for his poor negotiations.

We're going to get to a remembering the Normandy 75th anniversary, D-Day, and the slamming of the beaches of Normandy.
We got some really interesting speeches we'll play for you in the course of the program, probably coming up later in the last hour.
I don't think people really fully completely understand how precarious the world situation was at times.
And, you know, when you look at the advancement and how far that Hitler got and how broad his ambitions were and how naive so many people were.
uh i it's it takes your breath away and how quickly many of these countries one after another they just fell into the hands of the nazis it was a very very dangerous precarious time and when america finally got involved um which you know god bless winston churchill he was he was fighting for america's involvement for a long time and i i think but for america you know it probably comes out
uh it wouldn't have been a good story in the end but And millions killed, and you think of this particular invasion, and you think of the absolute carnage and the death and still American kids kept coming.
They were walking on beaches over dead bodies or over body parts over injured soldiers.
And they're walking right into what was death, you know, for so many of their so many others before them.
But they did it anyway and were ultimately successful, and they liberated a continent.
And none of that is easy.
And we do forget the cost of freedom often, which is sad.
You know, I don't even know where to begin.
Nancy Pelosi knows deep in her heart that if she goes ahead with this idiocy of impeachment, and she's really, she's not the speaker of the House.
Let's be honest.
The speaker of the House of Representatives is Alexandria Casio-Cortez.
We went into a deep explanation yesterday.
She's now even got sleepy, creepy, crazy Uncle Joe buying into her insane Green New Deal.
And, you know, now he's 1.7 billion and another five uh trillion and then another five trillion.
I mean, where do they think this money is gonna come from?
And then ultimately, it's still not gonna be good enough because she's such a purist that she actually believes that this idea of eliminating oil and gas and the combustion engine and the idea that that somehow we're gonna get rid of uh cars as we know them,
and everything's gonna be free, whether you're willing or unwilling to work, and that's free government education from the time you're able to go to school to the time you want to quit and free health care, but you can't buy your own health care, and you're gonna have a guaranteed job and a guaranteed vacation and guaranteed healthy food, guaranteed retirement.
That's a lot of guaranteeing for anybody.
And you know, when asked how you're gonna pay for it, nobody has any answer, not even close to an answer on that question.
So Pelosi, you know, with look, she's not that smart, she's not that bright.
She is a committed leftist, but more importantly, she's more committed to the power that she has, and she wants to maintain that power.
She's been speaker, she lost the speakership.
She near barely hung on this time, and she knows if she doesn't give in to the radical base and she doesn't appease them, then she could very easily be removed, and that could happen any day.
So she's trying to thread this needle, and I guarantee that it's not gonna work because the base is that radicalized.
This is not the party of Scoop Jackson.
This is not the party of old school Democrat.
The Joe Joe Lieberman does not fit in this party.
And the only ones that fit into it are people that want complete radical extreme socialism, a complete confiscation, pretty much of everybody's income.
They want a 70% top marginal rate, 90% top corporate rate.
No company is going to be in business.
And that means there'll be no job opportunities.
And that means you get rid of oil and gas, the lifeblood of our economy at the very moment where we're on the precipice of raising the standard of living of every single solitary American.
If we would just go full on, we now are the world's largest producer with the world's largest supplies of oil and natural gas.
We followed through on the pipelines, fracking, ANOR, et cetera.
And now we're going to have employment that we're at near virtual unemployment now, full employment, when you got two million more jobs than you have actual people on unemployment.
That's a pretty good environment if you want to change your career, if you want a new trajectory in your career, if you want to make more money, if you want better benefits, or maybe you dream of starting that new job.
But in the energy industry in particular, these are high-paying career jobs for people.
And by the time if we the faster we do this, that means that's the faster the people's standard of living is going to rise and rise dramatically, and it's it's mostly going to be the people the Democrats always claim to have compassion for.
And it is funny that it wasn't under Obama that we set record low unemployment for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, women in the workplace and for youth unemployment, 50 year low.
Those are all the groups that Democrats claim to care so much about.
But they were the ones under Biden Obama that was so disproportionately impacted.
So Pelosi told senior Democrats she'd like to see the president in prison.
Donald Trump in prison.
And she's clashing with Jerry Nadler in a meeting over whether to launch an impeachment proceeding.
They don't have the votes for impeachment.
He's never going to get convicted in the Senate.
All this will do, we've had four separate now investigations into this whole hoax of Trump Russia collusion conspiracy.
Four.
The FBI nine-month investigation, House Intel investigation, bipartisan Senate investigation, now the Mueller report.
But they want now a fifth investigation.
And they're going to drag the exact same people that they dragged before committees before and before Mueller.
I mean, Muller, let's see.
He spent 22 months, 674 days, 25 plus million dollars, 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, and forensic accountants and other professional staff.
They hired 19 attorneys, by the way, none of them, not one, was a Republican donor.
Uh, even Hillary Clinton's lawyer was one of them, and yes, Andrew Weisman was at Hillary's victory party with the most atrocious track record on record of anybody.
Then 2800 subpoenas, 500 search warrants, um, and 230 orders for communication records, 500 witnesses.
That's 500 people that have to hire attorneys.
Now you want Hope Hicks again.
Now, Ho Picks didn't make money the last time she was working for the government.
You end up paying attorneys more money than you are actually taking in.
Because if you have a halfway decent attorney in Washington, you're paying 500, $800,000 an hour.
And you don't want to hire a bad attorney.
Uh and then the other side of it is this.
All right, you testified before the Mueller committee, Mueller special counsel.
It testified in in maybe the Senate or the House committees, or maybe both, or maybe all three, and you had the lawyers for all of that.
Now, God forbid you go before The next the fifth investigation and the fifth committee to be asked generally it's gonna be the same questions, and God forbid you give a different answer or variation of an answer that seems somewhat inconsistent because maybe you didn't remember perfectly what had happened two years ago.
By the way, where were you this day two years ago?
Uh I have no freaking idea.
You know, who was on the show Monday?
I don't really have a clue.
I'd have to go back and look it up, literally.
It's not my brain who was on the show Monday.
It's not how my brain works.
Now, if you want Reagan's economic record, I can give it to you.
If you want Clinton's failed record, I can give you that.
Obama's failed record, I can do in my sleep.
Trump's record to date, I have, I can give you that.
But who I had on the show last night would take a real act of brain exercise to figure it out.
Seculo and Joe Lieberman were on Monday.
Just seeing it.
There you go.
I would not have guessed that.
I don't remember.
Listen, I do a show, I'm done with the show, and I move on to the next show.
And I'm trying to think of why what the next future show is going to be.
But but you're laughing, all these guys are laughing.
But think about it.
You say one inconsistent thing, and next thing you know, you're facing a criminal referral for lying to Congress.
I mean, this is the most obscene thing to me.
And I noticed that, and I'm actually happy about this, that General Flynn has uh apparently fired his lawyers ahead of sentencing and replaced them with new represent representation.
It could be he's I I would not be surprised if he withdrew his plea.
And I think he should withdraw his plea.
Because we now know that the deputy FBI director, Andrew McCabe, said, Michael Flynn said, Do I need a lawyer?
The deputy FBI director was sending over agents.
The answer was no, no, no, no, no.
You don't need a lawyer.
No.
Then Comey brags how he did something on the fourth day of the Trump presidency to take advantage of the chaos in the Trump White House, which would be the same under any administration, stating he would never do this to either the Obama administration or the former Bush administration.
He sent in his guys to interrogate Flynn, who is deputy FBI director said doesn't need a lawyer.
You look at this White House now, and it's hard to imagine two FBI agents ending up in the same room.
How did that happen?
I sent them.
Something we I probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation, a more organized administration in the George W. Bush administration, for example, or the Obama administration, the protocol, two men that all of us have perhaps increased appreciation for over the last two years.
And in both of those administrations, there was process.
And so if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the White House counsel and there'd be discussions and approvals and who would be there.
And I thought it's early enough.
after you tell them not to have a lawyer.
Now, what Flynn didn't know is they had already surveilled him, unmasked him.
They had word for word what the conversation was.
They set him up in a perjury trap.
Because if he didn't confirm everything that had happened in the phone call, what if he just didn't remember?
I didn't remember who was on the show Monday until Jason reminded me.
That's, you know, forget it.
I mean, if we're now at the point where my FBI friends say, yeah, if the FBI ever comes and asks you questions, you have to say no.
I'm like, why?
Why would I have to say no?
I like the FBI's the premier law enforcement agency in the world.
My instinct with my mama prison guard, my dad, family court probation, my family that are in cops, my two cousins that became FBI agents.
So you're saying I shouldn't talk to the FBI.
No, because if you say something wrong, you lie to the FBI, then you get charged lying to the FBI.
What if you you're trying to help them and you just don't remember everything perfectly?
What do they expect?
Our brains are not computers.
It's so ridiculous.
Especially people.
Now, don't do it.
That's what they said.
Don't do it.
All right, I'm not gonna get this scowl look for the rest of the program.
I said shush one time.
One time because you were bringing up the negative in a meeting that was important, and I'm like, that's not important to negative.
You're always worried about the worst.
Are you looking for something to say?
I'm sorry, you're breaking up on me.
I can't hear you.
Oh, really?
Terrible reception here.
No, there's not terrible reports.
Terrible.
Absolutely horrific.
So the problem, so we'll just get it out because otherwise you just let it fester and build in the resentment.
Well, go ahead, unleash.
Scream or something.
You know, there's a reason why Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump have all their meetings in private.
Because they don't like to air their dirty laundry.
I'm more of a tied girl.
I like to keep it clean.
That is the absolute biggest lie you've told.
That's bigger than treat is gonna pass his test.
First of all, the language that I'm gonna need to explain this to you is not STC permitted.
So you're welcome.
I'm leaving as soon as the show's over.
I'm walking right out there.
You better run for your life.
I think we'll run for our lives here.
Uh anyway, 800-941 Sean.
Now, this is getting a little bit more interesting by the minute, in as much as uh we're why the New York Times is claiming that they're fair to Donald Trump.
I mean, you've got to be kidding me.
It's it's it's i i these people can't even be serious.
On the one hand, the New York Times today drafts articles of impeachment against Trump.
So they're doing their job of the Democrats, and now the New York Times top editor says, we're in no way anti-Trump.
And I'm like, yes, you are.
And I think the funniest news of the day is that Congressional Democrats are now worried that Michael Horowitz's report on FISA abuse might in fact neutralize their impeachment drive.
You think?
How do they not know this is all coming?
Their heads in the sand.
All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity show, glad you're with us 800 nine-four.
One Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
You know, more I think about Nancy Pelosi.
Now, remember, she kind of knows that her speakership is hanging in the balance.
She's really speaker and name only.
She's kind of taken orders from Ocasio Cortez and all these new freshman Congress people.
And she's, you know, extraordinarily panicked because if they impeach Trump, that will guarantee his re-election.
You know, the American people, at the end of the day, after four investigations, they don't want a fifth one.
Everybody had their shot at them.
The Mueller report was supposed to give them everything they wanted.
And as we predicted, it's back, it's boomeranging back.
And so, okay, well, so what's the answer?
Well, we won't impeach him because if we impeach him, it's bad politics, but we'll investigate him to death.
And then you ask, well, what are they voting for?
They just voted themselves a pay raise, and of course, uh a tax increase, and they do what Democrats always do, which is you know, tax and spend, tax and spend.
That's all they've got.
I guess if you put him in jail, that fits perfectly in with you know a dictatorship, you know, just throw the opposition party in jail.
What are we gonna have?
Um arrested.
Now, we have other news on that point.
She wants to see Trump in prison, and Nadler wants to go forward desperately, but they don't have anything, and they just want to drag the same people before the committees to answer the same questions.
And she said that she was expressing solidarity with this pro-impeachment wing of her party that that is obsessed with all things rage and hate of Donald Trump.
But what are they offering in terms of uh making our world more prosperous and more secure and creating more jobs and and better opportunities?
They're not doing a thing.
And they don't have any plans.
So the only plan, the only thing they're united on is a hatred.
And that hatred happens to be 24 hours hating Donald Trump.
And you have, you know, the cowardly shift, and you have Elijah Cummings and Nadler and Maxime Waters, and you know, the committee chairs are frustrated because they can't get anybody to appear before them, and nobody should have to appear before them.
What they're not realizing also is anybody that does appear before them doesn't have to say a thing.
You know, Nadler's saying he might be forced to subpoena Robert Mueller.
Robert Muller does not want to go.
Robert Muller last week stated clearly the whole nine and a half minutes was don't dare bother calling me because I will keep referring to my report.
And then it turns out what he was saying about his report was contradicted by everything he had said earlier about his report.
In other words, they had to clarify within what four hours, five hours later, and then you saw the media take that bait and run as fast as they could.
But his comments to closed door Democrats as clearest remarks to date of compelling Mueller's attendance.
Um Fox News is reporting they actually obtained the resolution, which the rules committee will consider on Monday because they want to hold the attorney general William Barr and the White House Chief of Staff Don McGann in contempt of Congress.
Well, this it's perfectly legitimate to claim executive privilege.
And at that point, it's perfectly legitimate to say invoke the Fifth Amendment.
So I'm not, I have nothing to say.
And that's not going to cost a whole lot in terms of lawyers.
Um the Daily Caller has a piece out today with new documents they obtained that show the legal hot water just got hotter for one of the top Democrats on the committee, and that's House Government Reform and Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings.
And uh, along with Jerry Nadler's judiciary, Cummings Committee is now taking the lead trying to keep the Russia Gate scandal alive, but Cummings' wife apparently, according to the Daily Caller, funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars from her charity into her private for for-profit organization, according to previously undisclosed cost-sharing arrangements with multiple experts, you know, saying it raises a lot of red flags.
And anyway, so her charity, the Center for Global Policy Solutions, paid for her for-profit venture, Global Policy Solutions LLC, over $250,000 in management fees, and that's between the years 2013-2015, according to the charity's audited financial statements.
And then the management fees were paid in addition to a cost-sharing agreement where the charity pays for its share of the equipment and personnel and other expenditures, and this charity is funded by companies with interest that are before her husband's congressional committee.
Well, if Donald Trump did that, I can guarantee you that they would want a subpoena and put everybody in jail.
So there's a lot of self, you know, self-dealing here, and it's taking the charity's resources, turning them into personal profits, and also then you have the the whole stink to high heaven issue of, well, these are people that have business before his committee.
Now, um, when you look at the other issue with the in terms of Barr and Don McGain, I I just don't think any of this is going anywhere.
Now, on top of that, Politico just put out that Congressional Democrats are really worried because those that are driving hard 24-7 to impeach the president, uh now are scared to death.
Is it I mean, do these people pay attention to anything that's going on?
Because now all of a sudden they realize maybe this guy Hannity's on to something with this FISA stuff because if the bulk of information for the FISA application ended up being the phony Russian disinformation that Hillary paid for, well, that's a big problem.
Uh, and if Horowitz points out that they committed a premeditated conspiracy to commit fraud before the Pfizer Court judges and that it was done to spy on the Trump campaign, then now their fear is that they're becoming worried that the Justice Department, well, that's gonna basically neutralize any impeachment dreams they may have.
You got an internal DOJ watchdog report on the origins of the Russian probe, and that's expected to spotlight potential political bias by FBI agents at the heart of the Russian probe, as we've been telling you.
And that report is due out soon, maybe even as soon as this month, and as late as uh October could raise questions about the FBI's decision making at the time.
And when Michael Horowitz, we expect that report any day now, now highly respected, by the way, from both by both parties.
Uh then that now the entire narrative gets shipped, shifted in this in this case.
And on top of that, you got the New York Times that literally on the one hand today is claiming they don't have a Trump bias, but you have an editorial board member with President Trump winning rave reviews in Normandy, and you know, Elizabeth Warren is shouting that Trump should be in handcuffs.
Nancy Pelosi wants Trump in jail.
The New York Times now has shoved Jerry Nadler aside.
They decided, well, they'll just draw up their own articles of impeachment.
But they're they're the paper of record, the New York Times.
And so their editorial board member, some guy named Ian Philbrick said that Trump's impeachment should follow the model the Democrats planned to use against Richard Nixon.
Article one, the Russian government engaged in a sophisticated campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election, May 17, 2017.
A special counsel was appointed to investigate Russian interference, including any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign.
A subsequent there too, Donald J. Trump using the powers of his high office, engaged personally and through his close subordinates and agents in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation.
Well, that's the exact opposite of what we just learned.
So they're just making it up whole cloth.
So the Democratic Party is now in the midst of a, you know, political impeachment fantasy based entirely on a Mueller report that never gave them what they wanted.
And that was the fourth investigation into all of these things.
But of course, they don't look into Hillary Clinton and her dirty dossier or Hillary Clinton's rigged investigation or the crimes that she committed with the espionage act or the real obstruction of justice that happened in her case.
I mean, these are just insane times we're living in.
These are not normal times.
These are not normal people.
They're not well.
This is now a psychosis, a rage, an obsession.
And just because a few Democrats said a few nice things today, I'll tell you what's happening in news is cable news for these lying conspiracy theory networks have gone into the sewer.
So they keep trying to dredge it up every day.
And they say tried so hard last week they thought Mueller's nine and a half minutes was manna from heaven, that it was it was living waters from Jesus himself, that was literally breathing life into their soul, food and water that the world know not of, but only one perfect man.
And so it brought them to life.
Mounting pressure, growing calls to start impeachment after Robert Muller breaks his two-year silence.
If the House leadership doesn't start hearings now, I believe it's hard to see them ever doing it in the months ahead.
Again, now or never.
We seem to be moving toward a place where impeachment may be inevitable.
The dam really seems to be breaking wide open.
What he was really saying is Congress has a job to do.
It was almost a jeopardy question, the way Robert Muller put it yesterday.
There is a process other than the criminal justice system to charge a sitting president.
What's the answer?
The answer is impeachment.
The only problem, though, for them is Robert Muller had to rescind and clarify his remarks because he repeatedly said the opposite.
And I don't even think Robert Mueller wrote or read what he said in nine and a half because it's clearly reading it.
I don't think he wrote it.
I don't think he read it.
And I don't even think he was paying attention to what he was saying.
He seemed like he was checked out.
Watch Mueller's body language as he did that.
So then the special counsel's office, along with the attorney general barr, they had to clarify him.
Basically say, oh, never mind.
Everything Muller said that gave you so much hope, the living waters that you thought you were feeling were fake fake waters, fake food, fake news, just you know, more impeachment fantasies.
But this is I'm gonna tell you though, this look, if you want to win as a politician, I'm gonna give you a little secret.
You gotta have some principles that guide you.
You gotta have a belief that what you do is going to work and make things better.
You know, if you're a conservative, I I've been a con 30 years in radio, 23 years in Fox.
I am a conservative.
If you cut taxes, if you end burdensome governmental regulations, if you make incentives for businesses to spend and invest in factories and manufacturing centers, if you also push towards energy independence, the lifeblood of not only our economy, the world's economy.
If you end our dependence on foreign oil, especially countries that hate our guts, if you really care about not only creating high-paying career jobs for those Americans that unduly suffered under Biden Obama policies, 13 million more on food stamps, eight million more in poverty.
But if you're gonna train truck drivers in the energy industry at 80 grand, 90 grand starting salary a year and all the overtime you can handle, uh that's gonna raise the standard of living of everybody.
It's not an accident that the Obama economy f failed in every category, and that the Trump economy is literally breaking every single record imaginable, including the best employment situation since 1969.
Tom Seaver, Jerry Kuzman, Ray Sadecki, Jerry Grody, Duffy Dyer, backup catcher, Bud Harrelson, Wayne Garrett, uh, let's see, Ed Crane Pool, Tommy Agey, Cleon Jones, uh the the 1969 Mets.
Some of you are saying, what is wrong with you?
Linda's looking at me now with that.
What is wrong?
That's the 1960s.
Might as well speak Swahealy.
Uh Tug McGraw in the bullpen, and you had the world champions, the New York Mets, the miracle of 1969.
Well, we haven't had an environment economically that's been better for jobs since those guys were winning the World Series.
Have you heard of any of their names?
Tom Seaver?
Absolutely not.
Ray Sadecki.
I have no idea what you did.
Jerry Kuzman.
I want to go back to Mola.
No, no, no.
You've never heard of Ed Crane Pool.
No, Sean.
I have never heard of Ed Crane Paul.
Sounds like something they use in a dentist's office.
Tom Tommy A. Cleon Jones, Bud Harrelson.
He's not gonna know Ed Crane.
Mueller was an actor, actually.
Who was an actor?
Tom Seaver.
Oh, boy.
I mean, I don't know.
Wasn't that in Family Ties when the scenes.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Oh, trivia day at the hand.
Who points for you, Hannity?
Oh, you welcome Sean.
Oh, boy.
I'm so sorry I shushed you earlier.
What is wrong with saying, shush, don't talk about the bad stuff?
You know, time is a magazine to you.
Can I ask you a question?
No.
Has Mexico done enough to avoid tariffs which will be imposed in some six days from now?
No, we haven't started yet.
And and but the threat is out there.
Yeah, the threat is out there, but we haven't really started yet.
No, this will take effect next week.
And what's five percent?
And what do you think of Republicans who say that they may take action to block you imposing those testicles?
No, I don't think they will do that.
I think if they do it's foolish.
Uh there's nothing more important than borders.
But our laws are bad because the Democrats don't want to pass laws that could be passed in 15 minutes that could be passed quickly.
In one day, it could change.
But even beyond the laws, Mexico shouldn't allow millions of people to try and enter our country.
And they could stop it very quickly.
And I think they will.
And if they won't, we're going to put tariffs on.
And every month those tariffs go from 5% to 10% to 15% to 20% and then to 25%.
And what will happen then is all of those companies that have left our country and gone to Mexico are going to be coming back to us.
And that's okay.
That's okay.
And our policy can be summed up in three very simple words jobs, jobs, jobs.
The United States economy created another 260,000 jobs last month.
Way, way, way above what people thought.
They were making predictions much lower than the big one.
They were thinking about 1%, 1.2%, maybe 1.5, and our growth number came in for the first quarter, which is almost always the lowest quarter of the year, historically.
3.2% crushing expectations.
A lot of surprised people.
I wasn't surprised.
Thank you.
Since the election, we've created nearly six million new jobs, including more than half a million manufacturing jobs, and nearly 700,000 new construction jobs.
Unemployment just reached the lowest rate in more than 50 years.
The women's unemployment rate is the lowest in more than 65 years, and soon will be a record number.
Women, women.
Remember last election?
Oh, he's gonna do so bad with women.
I did great with women.
Oh, there it is.
The best job market since 1969.
We now have almost two million more jobs than we have people on unemployment.
And just in case you're interested, record low unemployment now for African Americans, Asian Americans, uh Hispanic Americans, women in the workforce, and youth unemployment is at a 50-year low.
The best economy that we have had in a long, long time.
Anyway, uh more than four million workers got direct bonuses.
You see economic growth on an unprecedented scale.
Anyway, joining us now is Austin Goolsby, and he doesn't understand uh any of this uh because he was the economic advisor on the economic advisory board for Barack Obama.
Obama gave us 13 million more Americans on food stamps, eight million more in poverty, lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, the worst recovery since the 40s, lowest homeownership rate in 51 years, the only president never to reach 3 percent GDP growth in his entire eight years as president, and he took on more debt than every other president before him combined, all 43 presidents before him combined.
Now, Austin's gonna say that Trump's economic success the last two and a half years is because of Obama.
Obama had eight years and he never had any of this success.
Hi, Austin.
I was gonna feel bad about myself and say how could I be so dumb?
But then I remembered that sitting right here in my hand is the football that says you are a great American and it's time.
You know, just better about myself.
Well, you should feel better about yourself because you know what, in spite of your policies, America's back better, stronger than ever.
And not only that, we're not even dropping a penny, never mind 150 billion dollars on a tarmac for mulhers in Iran that chant death to America.
I mean, I think Oh, no, no, we're back on that again.
Look.
I will never root against the economy, cheer something bad in the economy.
I think It's great that the economy is doing well.
I was a little nervous.
I hope it's a blip that yesterday they just put out an estimate of the monthly jobs numbers and it was the worst job growth in nine years.
I hope that's just a blip.
I want the economy to do great.
I will observe that we are about to become the longest expansion ever on record.
We will have added twenty million jobs, fourteen of those million were under Obama, six million are under Trump so far.
Hats off to both of them.
Uh the problem is is that it all happened in the Trump years.
I just told you 14 of the 20 million were on the Obama years.
Okay, but you can't three years.
Why do you try and escape your eight-year record?
I'm not trying to escape Trump's record.
Okay, you point out you point out, May, we had a bit of a slowdown in job creation, but we still have a net positive job creation.
We're almost at full and complete employment to the point where we have that and what's happening is because of deregulation, lower taxes, uh, and now the president with a we're energy independent for the first time in seventy-five years, no thanks to Biden Obama, and we're now a net we're now a net exporter.
No, it did not start under Obama.
Of course, it did.
No, it of course it didn't.
He didn't support the he doesn't support fracking.
He doesn't support the the Keystone at uh pipeline.
He didn't support the Dakota pipeline.
Keystone pipeline has done nothing about that.
Excuse me, the president has now continued and he opened Anwar.
Well, let me the next thing well let me guess.
You're uh you're a new Green Deal guy, aren't you?
You really believe I am I'm not that big of a new Green Deal guy, and uh the AOC version is is not my thing.
But I know a bit about fracking and oil, because my parents live out in West Texas, right on the edge of the Permian Basin.
So uh so I do have some exposure on that.
Okay, so here's the bottom line.
America is back economically, America's stronger abroad.
America now has gotten rid of burdensome regulations for business.
We had the lowest tax cuts.
We have record low unemployment for the groups that were disproportionately negatively impacted in the Obama years.
We have millions of Americans off of food stamps that were put on there by the Obama Biden policies, and millions more uh that were in poverty that came out of poverty.
So I would say uh if you're gonna grade, and I know you're a professor, uh Donald Trump's economy, you'd give him an A, and the Biden Obama uh failure, you'd probably give them an F. Look, John, I told you we we're in the longest recovery.
It next month will become the longest recovery ever.
And there's nothing wrong.
I am w I am willing to say that the the economy has continued to improve, bringing its level to a very nice level, especially in the job market under President Trump.
And there you shouldn't have to try to go back and change history from the fact that thus far most of this recovery and the entire turnaround from the epically worst economy of our lifetimes to one that was dramatically improving.
You know, I really I really kind of love I love how I I love how you Obama Biden supporters are you something.
I'm saying I'm not criticizing President Trump.
Okay, not emphasizing Cherry picked the best things and you chose none of the worst things of the Trump economy.
There's nothing there's nothing bad about the Trump economy.
That's the point.
You see, this is what you you say.
No, no, no.
You can have it both ways.
Why why would you invite us to get into a fight about whether there is in the economy?
You defend socialism redistribution.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about the Obama economy.
Yes, sir.
All right.
So here's the here's the deal.
So if you support Obama's economy, you believe that you inherited the worst economy ever, and that you have your status.
That's true.
And then for eight years you have the worst recovery since the 40s.
And then hang on, hang on.
And then well, hold on.
So you take no responsibility for the eight years you're in office, and then you take the Trump economy and you grab credit for that.
I mean, it's kind of a stunning you know, circular argument.
100% legit.
I don't want to count the first year of declines of big increases in unemployment of all of the problems that were clearly started before President Obama took off.
heard that for years.
And I don't want to give President Trump much credit for his first year in office either, Because those were things that were clearly going before he got there.
But other than that, I'm totally fine with saying that we had a dramatic turnaround and a substantial improvement of the economy under Obama.
President Trump received the best economies that a new president has received in the How can you say that when it was the worst recovery since the forties?
How can let me finish even the worst?
Yes, it was since the last recovery.
How can you say that when all of these people suffered under the Obama economy?
And all of a sudden we change course, we change policy, we get rid of regulation, we drop the tax base.
The president incentivizes, he brings in industry and says, What do we need to remove that is stifling your business growth and your willingness to invest in in factories and manufacturing centers?
And he opens the door, paves the way, personally negotiates all of these companies that they build in America.
The carrier plant that he personally negotiates to keep open and then shuts down?
Oh, okay.
You know, there's nothing you know what?
If Donald Trump cured cancer in your world, you'd give credit to Obama.
No, uh Sean.
There's nothing there's nothing multiple times.
You cherry pick what you said credit to President Trump that the economy has continued to do well.
And I give him credit.
We've got twenty million jobs added in the recovery, fourteen million under Obama, six million under Trump so far.
I hope he doesn't have a second term.
You hope he does have a second term.
Okay, so who do you want who would you like both of them?
That's what we're doing.
Who would you I'm not buying your arguments because when you look at it at the end of the day, he accumulated more debt.
He never reached three percent GDP growth.
Trump is on the Obama did.
Excuse me, he never achieved three percent GDP growth for a single year of his presidency.
President Trump 2018, 3.1%.
No, 2.9%?
Three point one percent adjusted.
Yes, sir.
Well, you need to get the updated data.
I need to for last year was two point nine percent.
So here's my next question.
Who do you want to run?
Who do you want to get the nomination now?
Crazy, sleepy, creepy Uncle Joe or who?
I I think I want better Rourke.
Now, you want I gotta buy it.
Robert Francis Texas bias, you know that.
And what is Robert Francis O'Rourke supporting that you like?
Because I think I remember him supporting the new Green Deal.
Not it was a different version of a different version.
Quick break more with Austin Goolsby on the other side.
All right, as we continue with Austin Austin Goolsby makes up facts as he goes.
Okay, here's the new Green Deal.
Tell me what parts of the new Green Deal you agree with and disagree with.
Uh the new Green Deal will eliminate oil and gas within ten years, the light blood of our minute.
Excuse me.
I have in front of me of that one, but it doesn't eliminate it.
Excuse me, in ten years.
We would know what it says is in ten years, you're correct about the ten years.
That's correct.
But what it says is that cost, what it's aiming for is that the cost of renewables would be so low that within ten years people would choose not to use.
No, there wasn't any choice in the ban.
It is not a banner.
That is not correct.
Okay.
So that we're gonna get rid of oil, gas, the combustion engine.
Do you want to keep the combustion engine or get rid of the combustion engine?
I am fine with keeping the combustion engine.
Okay.
Now, are you a big believer that everything should be free?
That we have a guaranteed job, guaranteed vacation.
Guaranteed retirement.
Guaranteed health care.
As it moves into the people who don't want to work should be given a universal basic income.
No, that's the you're getting ahead of yourself.
That's when it reads whether you're willing or unwilling to work.
You still get all the benefits.
Yeah, that that's what they're and that's the fact sheet.
That wasn't in the bill.
That was like somebody's quote fact sheet describing.
No, no, no.
That was the author's fact sheet on what the bill.
That's what I'm saying.
That's not the bill itself.
That was uh that was somebody's description of it.
But that's where I think it's you're going kind of out into the lala belt.
Um and your buddy, and your buddy, by the way, Beto Bozo, um Robert Francis says that climate change is the greatest threat this country faces.
Do you agree with that?
I think it's a pretty serious I didn't ask you if you think it's serious.
I asked you if you agree with Bozo that it's the greatest threat.
Okay, wait.
Why do you keep adding that?
Are you you it sounds to me like you're kind of afraid of him?
Because you know that's one Texas the election.
He's got like two percent of the in the polls, and it's like he's that's the problem so far.
He's like four percent.
But I'm telling you, you keep your eye out for him.
I gotta go.
Okay.
800, 941 Sean Tollfree telephone number.
We'll continue.
Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, it's sick, and it's getting sicker.
Now, back to the Sean Hannity show.
President Donald J. Trump delivering uh what at least I believe to be his most powerful speech that he's given as President of the United States.
Trump's speech itself was very good and and measured up to the moment and really was uh a true salute to the unity of this day.
And and he spoke about uh not only the sacrifices that were made, but our allies and uh the importance of unity.
It was a really good speech.
It it did measure up to the moment, as you said.
There will be headlines from this speech, and certainly I think across Europe at least, among our allies, uh they will be positive headlines.
I totally agree with both of you.
I thought it was a terrific speech.
I thought he did a great job telling the story of D-Day through the men and women who were sitting there behind them.
Uh and you can see President Trump right there, just saying thank you to as many people as possible.
Jim Acosta, you have heard so many of President Trump's speeches.
This one stands out.
It certainly does, John.
I think this was perhaps the most on message moment of Donald Trump's presidency today.
Uh we were all wondering whether he would veer from his uh remarks, uh, go off of uh his script there, but he stayed on script, stayed on message, and I think rose to the moment.
And as he was talking about those uh men gathered behind him, he described them as uh being among uh the greatest Americans who have ever lived.
I mean, that that uh could not be more of a fact check true uh if we could have uh found one.
And it w it really was one of those moments uh that I think Donald Trump needed to rise to uh in order to to I think walk away from the cemetery, walk away from this hollow ground, and have uh, you know, people back at home saying, you know what?
No matter what I think about the the current president of the United States, he said the right thing at Normandy, he did the right thing at Normandy.
Uh he's he he really hit all of the right, I think, uh, moments in that speech when he was paying respect to these heroes who are still with us.
Okay.
Let me be the ever so cynical uh human being that I am, and Linda and I agree on this as we're listening to all the Jim Acosta, Joe Scarborough, everyone praising the speech.
Let me tell you where I think this is.
Uh uh.
Our Mueller nonstop Rage Trump psychosis may result in our firing because our ratings are so pathetically low.
We've alienated even our hardcore base by creating an anticipation of a result that was never gonna come or happen.
And oh, the Pew research firm yesterday confirmed, yeah, people think it that fake news is even uh worse than terrorism, pretty much is what they said.
And so maybe, oh, okay, well, let's show that we we we we can show that we're not psychotic every second of every day, but they're not gonna be able to help themselves.
Do I think they're gonna now all of a sudden be fair and balanced and objective?
Well, the first thing they'd really need to do if they wanted to gain back faith, hope, trust in the American people, the first thing they'd got to do is apologize for the lies, the conspiracy theories, the hoax that they perpetrated on the American people for years.
Then they're gonna have to admit that there was this whole other abuse of power scandal that took place uh in the interim and they ignored completely, like Hillary's rigged investigation by the FBI that went right into the office of Loretta Lynch and the Department of Justice.
Uh, then they'd have to look at the real Russia collusion, and that would be the phony dossier that Hillary well, first she funneled the money at because she wanted a legal expense.
That would be a little bit of a campaign finance violation problem, because it's not a legal expense when they funnel the money to an research firm.
Then they hire a foreign national who comes up with a a series of documents, becomes the dossier.
The dossier is full of Russian lies, most likely, according to the New York Times, Russian disinformation from the get-go.
Then other high-ranking officials in the Intel community, well, then they leak it out to their friends in the press, and so they can disseminate the information to the American people in the hopes that that will influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
Uh, then they use the phony unverified Clinton bought and paid Russian disinformation dossier.
Then they use it to spy on the Trump campaign vis-a-vis Jim Comey, who said it was verified, couldn't have been verified, hid the fact that Hillary paid for it.
They should have told the judge that Hillary paid for it, and uh then use it not only to spy and take away the the civil liberties of one individual, Carter Page, but then also a backdoor into the all things Trump campaign and spy on the Trump campaign that way, and then continue to spy on the Trump transition team, and then continue to spy on the Trump presidency because the Pfizer application was renewed.
It only lasts 90 days, you have to renew it every 90 days.
So that went on for a full year.
And that was most of the Trump presidency till October the next year.
And then, of course, there was other spying that went on, although James Comey signed a spying document, which is exactly exactly what a Pfizer application is.
He denies he spied, but in January 2017, he told Trump it's unverified, the opposite of what he said to the Pfizer court in the Pfizer application, uh, as it relates to spying on Carter Page and the Trump campaign.
And then we had other spies, guy by the name of Stefan Helper, and some apparently hot blonde bombshell that was flirting with George Papadopoulos, spying on him and trying to entrap him into saying things about the Trump campaign when he said the opposite.
That exculpatory information was withheld from everybody.
And then, of course, it was Sam Clovis and Carter Page and how many other people were spied on.
We don't exactly have uh uh the exact knowledge of.
And now the understanding is that of course, what became an intelligence investigation into the Trump campaign, when did it really start?
How high up did it ever go?
And what did Obama Biden, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, what did Clapper, Brennan, and everybody else know in the interim, because we already know about McCabe and we know about Strzok and Page, and we know about Comey.
Uh and how many of these people are gonna be held accountable is a question that nobody can fully answer at this point because in many ways the investigation is now underway in in the fullest sense of the word since we got the new attorney general, and that would be Mr. Barr.
That's the same attorney general that refused to break the law as requested by Congress and release a totally completely unredacted Mueller report because the Mueller report, well, they could have read all but one sentence and seven partial sentences that had grand jury material in it, and had Barr listened to the likes of Nadler, well, then he would have been violating the law.
Um and that's about where we stand.
Do I have that about right?
Pretty much.
You know, when you're on a roll.
When I'm on a roll.
You know, aside from the fact that you shut me once today, I'm just gonna let that slide.
Did that really bother you?
You shushed me.
Why is she shushed me?
We're in the middle of a meeting, and you're bringing up every negative.
Oh my God!
I did not bring up every negative thing.
I brought up one negative thing, which they totally agreed with, and we should be prepared for.
And during that part, I was just saying that I thought it was a good thing.
Sorry.
Um, you can try and flip this script all day long, but this is a hard copy, my friend.
It ain't going nowhere.
Okay.
All right, as we continue, uh straight to the phones we go.
Arizona Doug, Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, Doug?
How are you?
Hi, Sean.
I want to thank you for your patriotism, and I uh very much appreciate what you do every day.
I appreciate you giving me this microphone every day.
Well, my my point is this.
I was listening uh a comment from uh another host, and he said, you know, uh the people uh of today's generation actually have to manufacture their own crises.
And the greatest generation that stormed the beaches in World War II and uh came out of the Great Depression and then had to rebuild Europe, they actually lived crises.
You and I are baby boomers, so we remember what it's like to hop under a desk for an air raid that thankfully never came.
We remember the Cold War, we remember Vietnam.
And today's generation has selected a spokesperson that is terrified of a garbage disposal.
Who's the spokesman afraid of a garbage disposal?
Well, that would be Ocasio Cortez.
She didn't know what it was.
They don't have those in New York City, and so when she turned it on, it frightened her.
I've actually never had a garbage disposal any place I live.
I mean, I'm not afraid of them.
I've seen them.
Um You mean one of the ones in your sink or the real garbage disposal that crushes like your garbage together and it packs it a little tighter?
No, it's the one in the sink.
They don't know.
Oh, that one spins around and it's got the well, don't put your fingers down there when it's spinning.
You're not gonna have any fingers left, and you're gonna have what looks like a scene of catch up and or from a Stephen King movie, you know, moving forward.
That's not a good idea.
But that's that's that's Ocasio Cortez's quote.
I d I've heard a lot.
That's a new one to me.
I didn't know she was afraid of the garbage disposal in your sink.
Nope, that's an actual quote.
You can look that up, you can Google it.
She was a terrified when she turned it on because she didn't know what it was.
Pretty unbelievable.
But you know what?
She's the speaker of the house.
Nancy Pelosi's speaker and name only.
Even sleepy, creepy, crazy Uncle Joe now is capitulating to Ocasio Cortez.
I love it.
Uh listen, you know, I'm uh maybe I'm just different.
Look at that.
I don't know that she it's easy for her to take what we she now has for granted because she doesn't know anybody who paid, who sacrificed, who died to make her liberties possible.
We do.
And I'm very much afraid that American greatness could be in jeopardy after the baby boomers died off.
You know, I'll say this.
I I'm I got into this with Bill O'Reilly a little bit yesterday, and and he wonders, you know, here we are, the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and all these brave men, you know, trying to free a continent and and Europe and save Europe from the clutches of Nazism and fascism, and you know, what they did at Normandy was unbelievable.
And I don't know, but maybe I just have more faith.
Every generation in America has wanted subsequent generations to do better.
My grandparents had nothing when they came from Ireland, all four of them.
I actually took an ancestry test.
Um the rare 100% British Isle person.
And anyway, and then my parents, they grew up really, really poor because their parents were poor, and you know, Bedford Ste, my dad, and my mother grew up in uh the South Bronx, you know, and the civil service job was a great gig for them, and they get a retirement plan and they get health care.
And so my mom was a prison guard.
My dad worked as a family corp probation guy.
A lot of my family worked in for the NYPD and two work for the FBI.
And but their hope was they wanted this generation to do better.
And I've been fortunate enough because I stand on their shoulders.
And I try to explain this to my kids because I think like a lot of parents, I probably spoil them a little bit too much.
But I do have expectations.
I don't want them working like I did till four in the morning while you're going through junior and senior high school.
And but they have their jobs.
And their job is I expect gr certain grades in school.
Um they both happen to be athletes.
I expect them to give their best commitment to their sport.
Uh I expect them to follow the golden rule.
You know, I've I I have simple rules for my kids.
The golden rule love God and your neighbor as yourself.
Never ever do drugs or your dad is going to be one pissed-off human being.
You've never seen dad angry unless you want to try drugs.
I it will, I I am a zero tolerance on drugs.
I'm not against drinking.
Uh I would look, I was drinking in the restaurant when I was 12, so it's it's kind of hard to for me to say, but don't be the kid throwing up in the bushes.
Don't do shots, don't mix drinks, don't drink punch, don't put your drink down.
I go through a whole list.
Uh then the next part is is about sex.
I'll keep that you know confidential, what I say to them about that.
And basically, if you do these and to do your jobs, and when they don't do their jobs and they're not nice, not respectful, then that's when they're in trouble.
But you know, thankfully they're pretty good kids, and I only have to yell at them occasionally.
Not as I don't I and I don't hit my kids.
My father used to beat the crap out of me with his belt.
I mean, and by the way, I look back on it, and I actually think I deserved it.
I was an incorrigible child.
It was really bad.
I mean, my mom would say, Don't leave this house.
And I'm like, you can't catch me and stop me.
And then I'd run out the door, and well, when your father gets home, I used to get a lot of that.
Uh, but I think they'd rise to the occasion if needed.
I think it's just, you know, we don't want to have to fight wars.
Do we really want our kids fighting wars?
No.
My my father fought fought four years in the Pacific hoping, you know, that his kids wouldn't have to fight in a war.
It's the same with every warrior.
They fight, they risk their lives, and they they don't want future generations to have to go fight.
Hopefully, you know, the next generation of warfare is gonna be, you know, we'll be fighting wars from Tampa and pushing buttons, and we won't have to put men on the ground like we did in Iraq and go door to door and get blown up by IEDs.
I mean, I I just think we can't fight that way anymore because then it takes too long, it gets politicized, and then you don't end up winning the war, and then you ask, Well, why did we get in in the first place?
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
I made some comments this morning about the tariffs.
What are your thoughts on that?
I have a I don't talk about the president when I have the country.
Are you on the same page with the speaker?
Nancy Pelosi when it comes to impeachment.
As I said, we are launching an inquiry now, and whether we'll launch an uh uh uh an impeachment inquiry, um uh it may come to that.
It may come to that.
Well, is there any chance uh, Mr. Chairman, you would open up an impeachment inquiry without Speaker Pelosi's support?
I think that uh if if if if when that decision has to be made, it'll be made not by any one individual, it'll be made by the probably by the court because a whole certainly uh Nancy will have the largest single voice in it, uh various committee chairs and rank and file members.
All right, there's roundup information overload hour.
That was of course, I mean, what are they gonna impeach him for?
What is the high crime and misdemeanor that they have discovered?
Uh or bribery.
Um I don't think any of it's gonna happen.
And as we've been pointing out, it's all now uh boomeranging back on the Democrats every step of the way.
It's just not gonna work for them.
And there's no matter how hard they try, no matter how much they desire, uh wishing something to be true just doesn't happen.
And I don't care if this is their strategy to just stay fixated and focused on all things hating Trump, well, it's it just doesn't work that way in American politics.
That's not what is going to inspire people to go out and vote for you.
A very small extreme conspiracy theory loving base, maybe, but that's all you've got and the the rest of America kind of likes the success that we're having.
And it just becomes a broken record as the poll yesterday showed people sick of it.
They're tight this is a fourth investigation that completed.
Now they want a fifth investigation.
And they want to drag the same people before the committees again and again and again and ask the same questions over and over again no consideration that these poor people that work in government have to pay these lawyers lawyer in Washington's not inexpensive.
You get a cheap one well you get what you pay for.
But and you know $500,000 an hour and all the prep sessions and by the way God forbid you you contradict one line from the last time you testified because maybe you just didn't quite remember it exactly the same way and now you set yourself up for a perjury trap or a perjury charge or a criminal referral and now you really need lawyers.
So you know I refer you know to I refer to my last testimony and everybody's saying no I think the funniest thing in all of this is that you know they literally are asking the attorney general of the United States to break the law.
I mean, Gerald Nadler wants that.
Now, with the appearance now that it looks like Christopher Steele's cut a deal and Steele's going to tell everybody, no, never verified because that's what he said under oath.
And then he's going to say, yeah, I hated, absolutely hated Trump.
And OK, did everybody know that?
Yes.
Did Hillary pay for this?
Yeah.
In a roundabout way?
Yeah.
Were they looking specifically for dirt?
Yeah.
Were you told it had to be true or not true?
That's gonna be an important question that he answers and I don't think he's going to have the answer that they like Pelosi wants to see Trump in prison.
Oh okay for what?
Oh yeah for what do you want to put him in prison for?
And meanwhile they're just doing everything they canler saying Bill Barr tried to play us for fools and we're not fools no Bill Barr made you look like a fool because you can't ask the number one law enforcement uh official in the country the attorney general of the United States to break the law which is what you were asking and all and all of that material was already available to you.
In other words all but one sentence and seven partial sentences which were grand jury testimony otherwise you got to see the whole thing if you wanted to take the time and and go read it like a few Republicans did like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell and Doug Collins they took the time to read it all.
And by the way does not want to go under oath he does not want to testify he will get destroyed by Meadows Jordan Gates Nunes it'll be over and he knows it and he he's not going to show up either I can guarantee you that Robert Muller will never testify because if he does it will be an unmitigated disaster for him.
Why did you hire this team?
When did you know that the dossier um was dirty uh when did you know there was no collusion how did you not bring up if Russian interference how did you ignore the Pfizer applications that use the dirty dossier but yet time for taxi medallions and loan applications and Farah violations.
He can't answer those questions.
Anyway joining us now we have Danielle McLaughlin who is herself an attorney constitutional attorney and uh our good friend Jonathan Gillam former FBI agent federal air marshal author of Sheep No More I don't think that there's any way that the American people are going to buy into a fifth now investigation Danielle when the other four came to the exact same conclusion.
Hey Sean hey Jonathan great to be back another Thursday.
Um we have I think Americans just have to wait for what's going to happen with the OIG report.
I think that's the that's the body in government that's meant to be nonpartisan that is going to look into the origins of uh appointing special counsel, uh, the Pfizer application that we fight so much about but haven't seen all of.
And as you know, I you know, I'm an institutionalist, and I do believe that most people in government are doing their best uh and uh they're in service of the American people.
So my view is wait and see what the inspector general comes up with.
Well, we know the following from the Nunes Grassley Graham memos, the bulk of the Pfizer application was the unverified Clinton bought and paid for, Christopher Steele Trump hating uh operative that he is that he put together, and they knew it ahead of time.
They didn't tell the judges, the judge specifically that Hillary paid for it.
They didn't tell the judge that it was unverified, just the opposite.
They signed uh a warrant application, uh Jonathan Gillam that said it was verified and it never was.
Yeah.
It's it listen, I'm when Danielle just said there a second ago that she's an institutionalist.
I mean, I'm a realist, and I've worked in government, uh, and I'm here to tell you that um I would say the majority or a lot of people that are in government are in government for the wrong reasons.
When we talk about the people in Washington, D.C., uh most of them are ideologues, they're not out to uh help the nation, they're out to further their cause or their political party.
And I I know this is a little bit uh philosophical, but I'm sitting here in Texas on the road, and I'm looking uh because there's every all kinds of animals in Texas.
I'm looking at a Falcon right now that is flying around and hunting, and it's very it's looking for something very specific.
And its actions are very specific.
But I've also watched uh because I grew up in Arkansas, I've watched uh buzzers, and they congregate and they wait and they look for somebody else to do the work for them, then they go down there and then they feed off that.
And that is what you're seeing in this entire investigation.
And it I I first became privy to how this works when I was in the FBI and I saw an NYPD um a detective get uh jammed up for something.
And they started looking and digging, the internal affairs.
They wanted to they wanted to bust this guy because once they start investigation, they're gonna find something.
And they kept digging and kept digging, and they found out he really didn't do what they thought that he had done, so they just kept digging.
And eventually they found something on his easy pass, and they busted him for that, demoted him and got him out of the uh the JTTF.
And that's what I see going on here with with uh Trump.
They hate him so bad, they've tried again and again to get something on him.
There's nothing there, and they're just gonna keep circling like those buzzers until somebody else finds something or somebody comes forward that they can raise a ruckus about.
It may not even be anything illegal.
And that's what that's the tactic that they're using.
And Danielle, what's your reaction to that?
Okay, so two things.
Speaking of buzzards circling, Republicans were saying that they were gonna impeach Hillary Clinton the day she became president.
You can't be impeached for conduct that isn't part of your presidential uh you know, when you're president.
So uh this is exactly what Republicans did.
This investigation started when WikiLeaks started leaking DNC emails, when the US government understood that the Russians were involved in the hacking, and then when George Papotophilis went to London and told the Australian ambassador that the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton.
This is where this began.
This is why this matters.
There was a foreign power who was involved in our election, who favored one candidate, that candidate was for president, as Ma has set out.
Also, as it relates to the Nunes memo that we're talking about, he completely omitted the fact that there was a footnote in that Pfizer application that's a good thing.
Excuse me, I long.
No, no, you no, hold on a second.
They never stated straight up to the Pfizer judges this was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign.
And you know why?
And you know why?
Because they don't identify people who they don't have to be.
Well, if they had identified uh or they could have said by the opposition party they did say the opposition party.
No, and they could they could have highlighted the fact that they bought that it wasn't verif.
how do you justify it not being verified?
It's an unverifiable document because we all know hold on.
We all know the Christopher Steele when push came to shove in an interrogatory that he himself said, I have no idea if any of this is true.
Well, James Comey, when he signed it in October of twenty sixteen, he put it says on the top of the Pfizer application, verified.
I can explain that those two things.
How do you explain how do you explain?
Yeah, how do you explain that?
All right.
So the nature of the steel uh dossier, which was used as supporting evidence for the Pfizer application, yes, it was unverified.
That is normal as it relates to these kinds of things.
If you have an informant, somebody who says, My neighbor has uh is has a mess lab um in his uh basement.
It's not sh it's if you can't go in and arrest that person in their basement, you use the allegation that is unverified by the neighbor in order to have probable cause to go to a judge to get that warrant.
Courts all the time rely on information that is not necessarily unverified because they need that information to actually get the warrant to go in.
It's the same thing with the steel dossier.
And as we said before, a full page footnote.
And Joseph, you've been investigations.
You know, judges know and it's their job.
They understand that people are biased.
They understand that an informant might have a reason to to tell a lie in order to get somebody arrested.
But judges are there to weigh that, to weigh the probability that somebody is biased.
Yeah, go ahead.
Danielle, let me just say this.
Everything you're saying, well, it's not all true because you do have to have underlying evidence of of uh of the possibility of a crime happening.
They we don't just get a warrant based on hearsay.
No judge is gonna give a warrant based on hearsay with the case.
It was one part, Jonathan.
It was it was one part, it was one thing, right?
We haven't seen the whole thing, and I cannot wait for it to be revealed to all of us.
The rest of the stuff uh that they used for that warrant, a lot of that was also hearsay, or there was no proof of it, or it was things that they had set up based on that uh that dossier.
So we can't say that that these judges are unbiased because it's clear that a lot of these judges are biased.
And I'm sure what what we're looking at here, what we're looking at here is what you just you described something earlier about politics and the way the Republicans will do, the Democrats, Democrats, the Republicans, and and that's always been the case.
But it's gotten to a point now where I think this is not politics as usual.
What we're looking at now is literally a coup attempt uh because the person that the establishment uh in the government, this deep state, did not get into office that they wanted in office.
And all through this political uh deadly political games that they're playing to overthrow the president, you have an innocent man, Donald Trump, who has literally done nothing but get elected.
And and and they just keep hovering, they keep going around looking for things that they can put out there, not because they're gonna try to get him convicted, but because they're gonna try to ruin him in the next election.
That's what this is all about, so they can continue with their subversion.
It's that simple.
Look.
Yeah, I mean, I disagree with you.
I I want to go back to the the the the uh the Pfizer application.
Part of the reason that they were surveilling Carter Page is because they had known for years that the Russians had had been involved with Russians, and actually he had met with the FBI on a number of occasions before this Pfizer warrant, and they had said to him, stop talking to these guys.
This is bad.
We think these people are you know part of the Russian apparatus, and he ignored them.
He he continued on, he didn't take their head in, and so this was part of the reason.
So, you know, this this was just one part, there's no crime eighty pages.
There's no crime there, so you wouldn't get a warrant for that.
Well, they got a warrant to surveil him, right?
And Pfizer courts they only allow for 90 days and then you've got to renew.
It's pretty tight, and it goes before a judge, right?
It goes before.
That's not you you can't get a warrant for that.
Well, no, sure.
But this is part of it, and remember this goes back to what was said in London about the Russians and do in Hillary Clinton.
There was concern that the Russians were trying to interfere in our election.
And in fact, they did, right?
And it's a very important thing.
you said three things.
They said uh you you said that that the thing about Carter Page was just part of it, which wouldn't really you wouldn't get a warrant for that, and the dossier, which wasn't true, which was false, and they knew it.
So none of the stuff you pointed out so far would get a j a real judge and a biased judge to give a warrant.
It's nothing criminal.
Well, you know what?
And there's no real application.
We need to revisit this because we obviously have different opinions, and part of it is because there's plenty of stuff that we haven't seen.
I gotta let you end it right there.

So even the I'm cynical.
I just think that the left, they there was nothing in Trump's speech to criticize.
So they said, all right, well, well, our ratings are so bad.
We've lied for two and a half years.
Let's just try and convince people we're fair for five seconds.
And that's, you know, hence the comments of the the likes of morning Joe Scarborough and uh uh what's his name, Jimmy Acosto over at Fake News CNN.
Um it was an amazing speech.
It is an amazing group of people.
What happened that day in this effort to liberate a continent from tyranny is just an act of courage, selflessness, and sacrifice, and literally there's just uh an amazing group of people.
Tom Brokaw referred to them as the greatest generation.
They are the greatest generation.
And those that slammed those beaches of Normandy, you know, especially wave after wave of people coming to the beach.
They saw what happened before them.
They saw all of the carnage.
They saw all the dead bodies, they saw all the injured, and yet they did it anyway.
They kept plowing forward, and they stormed the beaches of Normandy.
And, you know, I want to go back because um sometimes we forget how how the amazing sacrifice of people.
And I know the French president, I know President Trump praised the soldiers, the cell sailors, the airmen, survivors, those who lost their lives, both gave incredibly powerful speeches.
And, You know, but let's go back and listen to some of the other comments.
The words of Winston Churchill.
Winston Churchill saw the evils of Nazism emerging right before his eyes.
I would say to the House, as I said to those who joined the government.
I have nothing to offer but blood, soil, and you are ready up on it, I will say it is to wage war by G Land and air.
With all our might with all the strength that God can give us.
To wage war against a monstrous.
Never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.
You ask, what is our aim?
I can all say one word.
Victory.
Victory at all costs.
Victory in spite of all terror.
Victory over long and hard the road may be.
But without victory, there ain't no survival.
Many in Great Britain did not see it.
They did not see what was happening around them.
His uh predecessor, uh, of course, proclaimed after the meeting with Hitler in Munich, that we were going to have peace in our time.
That was Neville Chamberlain.
Well, there was no peace in our time.
A guy like Winston Churchill comes along once in a generation at best.
Um his desire, his knowledge is pleading with FDR at the time is is historic, especially after what happened at Pearl Harbor.
Because for Europe to be liberated, American help was needed.
American blood and support was needed.
And together we were able to do the impossible and beat back the forces of Nazism and fascism.
And I want to place some of the words of Churchill, some of the words of Eisenhower, and for years on this radio program on a regular basis, we'd hear from uh a caller.
I got to meet him.
He's since passed away.
He was one of the many that slammed the beaches of Normandy, stormed them, and he talked about those days on this show.
And uh we'll never forget Marty.
Let's take a trip down memory lane.
One of the guys that slammed the beaches that day is on our newsmaker line, and he's an American hero, and he's been with this program since I started.
I'm on New York affiliate, WABC in New York.
Marty!
Hey, Bertie, how are you?
How are you, my friend?
Good, not bad.
Marty, you were there that day.
Yes, indeed I was.
I'll never forget that as long as I live.
Tell us, tell us, you know, as much as you recall, Marty, tell us about that experience.
The speech.
Yeah, this when you heard that speech today that we just played.
I heard it a little while ago.
I heard it before that.
I know.
And uh, you know, Sean, we came from a different era.
And, you know, we were brought up differently.
We had religion in our hearts, right down to the president.
And when we went into that business of going into Europe, I tell you, you know, we knew in the phrase Joe Lewis had God is on our side.
And that's the way the country was.
Everybody pulled together.
The men and the women, even the people at home.
And that's that's why they called us the greatest generation.
Yeah, you know what Roosevelt says.
He goes, for these men, that's you, Marty.
You know, he said uh they fight not for lust of conquest.
They fight to end conquest, they fight to liberate, they fight to let justice arise, tolerance and goodwill among all thy people.
They yearn but for the end of battle, and a return to the haven of their home.
And he said he reminded us some will never return.
He said, embrace these father, receive them, thy heroic servants into thy kingdom.
I mean, I I just It was a very touching Sean.
You know, as a matter of fact, I I I had a little tear in my eye listening to him.
Remind me of the night when you and I are at the new ass stamp theater, and you asked me about Normandy, and you said, Marty, you're tearing.
Do You remember that night?
Marty, that's the night on Broadway, buddy.
And I brought you up there and to a standing ovation.
The crowd just, you know, in unison.
They were there to see you, Marty, not me.
Uh, we love you, Marty.
And yeah, love you too, son, and God bless you, and God bless America.
You're a hero.
God bless those boys over there, too.
Yeah.
God bless them as right.
I I remember them every night when I go to mass.
Now we also have uh, and I think this is worthwhile because this is so profound, and we don't spend enough time on history.
I'll play a little of Franklin Rosewell, then I want to play a little bit of the president from earlier today.
My fellow Americans, last night when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome.
I knew at that moment the troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the channel in another and greater operation.
It has come to pass with success thus far.
And so, in this poignant hour, I asked you to join with me in prayer.
Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our public, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace.
They fight not for the lust of conquest, they fight to end conquest, they fight to liberate, they fight to let justice arise and tolerance and goodwill among all thy people.
They yearn but for the end of battle, for they are returned to the haven of home.
Some will never return.
Embrace these, Father, and receive them, thy heroic servants, into thy kingdom.
And for us at home, give us strength too, strengthen our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces,
and let our hearts be stout to wait out the long travel to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons, wheresoever they may be.
Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances.
Lead us to the saving of our country and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace.
A peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men, and a peace that will let all men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.
Thy will be done.
Almighty God.
Amen.
Here with you are over 60 veterans who landed on D-Day.
Our debt to you is everlasting.
Today we express our undying gratitude.
When you were young, these men enlisted their lives in a great crusade.
One of the greatest of all times.
Their mission is the story of an epic battle and the ferocious eternal struggle between good and evil.
On the 6th of June 1944, they joined a liberation force of awesome power and breathtaking scale.
After months of planning, the Allies had chosen this ancient coastline to mount their campaign to vanquish the wicked tyranny of the Nazi Empire from the face of the earth.
The battle began in the skies above us.
In those first tense midnight hours, one thousand aircraft roared overhead with seventeen thousand Allied airborne troops preparing to leap into the darkness beyond these trees.
Then came dawn.
The enemy who had occupied these heights saw the largest naval armada in the history of the world.
Just a few miles offshore were 7,000 vessels bearing 130,000 warriors.
They were the citizens of free and independent nations united by their duty to their compatriots into millions yet unborn.
There were the British whose nobility and fortitude saw them through the worst of Dunkirk and the London Blitz.
The full violence of Nazi fury was no match for the full grandeur of British pride.
Thank you.
And that's the president describing the battle at Normandy, describing the American contingent at Normandy, and recognizing one specific Army medic, Ray Lambert, and how the free world salutes you.
Marty was just one person, one survivor.
And they all saw the dangers, and they did it anyway.
It's just an amazing moment in history.
We say hi to Debbie in California.
Debbie, hi, how are you?
We're glad you called.
Hi, Sean, thank you for holding the line, first of all, and thanks for all those folks who have family who fought for our very nation on D-Day.
Um, I I called because I believe this country is done with the packaged kind of puppet president and all the flowery poetry, and with all the slick political speak.
Um, we're done with fake.
We want someone who can get the job done in a Moab style, and I think that's why President Trump is going to continue to be our president in 2020.
Fake news plan failed.
It's awakened this whole nationalist populist movement, and God bless America.
Listen, it's a tipping point moment.
And if we don't, for example, get what was right about those that abused power, those that were corrupt, those that did these horrible things, I don't know if we save the republic.
And to think of all the blood, tears, sacrifice, sweat, and the financial costs and burden of protecting freedom, it's pretty...
It'd be a sad moment for America and the world, I'll tell you that.
Anyway, thank you, Debbie.
Appreciate the call.
Listen, you know the left, their new Green Deal.
They call it bold, a bold Green New Deal that'll bankrupt us, of course, or their bold uh defense.
They won't go after, you know, obvious anti-Semitic views that are expressed by members of their own party, which I thought was pretty cowardly.
All right, let's gonna wrap things up for tonight.
All right, John Solomon breaking big news tonight, and wow, Muller's team got so much wrong.
You can't even begin to understand how wrong it is.
We will break it down for all of you.
Again, news and information you won't get anywhere else in the corrupt hate, destroy Trump, rape media mob that's out there.
Uh, we'll get to that tonight at nine, and all the other news of the day.
