Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Hannity 20171228

Dossier key point but refuse to name them. Also tonight Congressional Republicans continue to call out the bias in the russia investigation. Congressman andy biggs penned an oped for u. S. A. Today with the title mr. End the witchhunt. And joining us now that aforementioned congressman andy biges joining me. Congressman, great to see you. Thanks, david. Good to be with you. David lets dive right into this. The time line matters here in the travel to to collect the information to bring it back to the United States. Hand it off. So, with the new subpoena and subpoena powers of devon nunez, do we see connecting the dots as a part of this strategy . Well, i think. So i mean chairman nunes is doing a great job by issuing that subpoena and demanding answers and we in congress have to keep ratcheting this up because we know there is bias. We know there is conflict. We know that with 10,000 emails that got taken away from the trump transition people. We know that those werent really gone through. This is just one more piece of evidence to indicate that this Mueller Investigation is just kind of spun outs of control. And its widespread and its broad. And this may be the scandal of our time, quite frankly. And we have got to get to the bottom of it. How do you connect the dots here . Obviously have you this compendium of information. The email, the Text Messages and you pull this all together. Now you have got to make the connection. Is that the next step . Because with a lot of smoke, have you got to be able to see how the fire started. Thats why chairman nunes subpoenas are so important. We have to see whats going on there. We have to get people back before congress to actually answer the questions. As you may have seen, they just keep deferring and saying well, the Inspector General is looking at it and we will just come along after the Inspector General. We need to get the Inspector General to hurry up with his report. Give us the information, because what we have seen is the democrats have changed their tune, completely. You recall they were asking for russian. Accuse trump russia collusion. We dont hear that anymore. What we are hearing is obstruction of justice. This has got to be brought back to focused investigation so we can see whether there was collusion. Because what were seeing now is the collusion came from the dnc and Hillary Clinton. What we are see something that there were actually people at the highest level of our government trying to manipulate the election. Thats what it appears to be. So we have to connect the dots. We need to keep bringing these people. In and we have to put it together. And right now they are refusing to answer our questions. With the cover this is under the Inspector Generals investigation. Thats a real problem for us. Going back to the genesis of this. It began, of course the russians we know this. They tried to interfere with elections all around the world that said this began Counter Intelligence looking into russian interference. That means that any and all in the campaign whoever were touched by this should be investigated. Are we going to see chairman nunez now look into this, not just the trump campaign, the clinton campaign, the sanders campaign. Any campaign that was out there that may have been touched or attempted to be influenced by the russians . In other words, is this going to go back to what it really is about . Well, right now, its kind of spun out of control and frankly, the Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction over the department of justifiable and we should be bringing these people in. You know, we are finding out maybe that jill steins campaign was involved somehow. I mean, this is really spun far beyond what mr. Muellers authority should have been limited to. And we have to bring it back in. We have to be focused. And the real question is how did the russians impact the election . If they did lets find out and take care of that the reality is its become so partisan with my friends across the aisle that isnt what they are even looking at anymore. They are looking at any way to get President Trump out of office. Thats what they want to do. They want to delegitimize and they want to stain President Trump instead of saying lets see whats gone on here with how did mr. Mueller get so out of control . Well, because nobody is overseeing him. How did he get all these biased people . Well, because there is no vetting procedure in place. And so we have to bring that back into control, and then we can get back on focus on the real question which is what did russia do with our election . And we have a pretty good idea. But that, you know, this dossier is really the smoking gun and we have to really uncover everything we can about that. David a pointed question on, this congressman, something that has not been brought up and looked into needs to be looked into some more. James comey, whether he violated president ial privilege, leaking the documents to the colombia professor and his friend, and the fact that if he did violate the law, can he be charged. Do you think he should be looked into and, if possible, charged for violating the law . Well, absolutely. I think he should be looked into. I mean, he took information that he had access to, unique access to, may have been privileged information, and to manipulate the apoishtment of Robert Mueller as a special counsel, he leaked it to his buddy who with the instructions get it into the media. Thats a real problem. And that goes to the whole underlying reason why six months ago i started saying mr. Mueller should not be the special counsel because what comey did. We keep asking the questions about that. We keep being told Inspector General is looking into that. And we did get commitments from director wray and from the attorney general that they would reopen that if the Inspector General felt that that was a problem. I think. David well wait for the Inspector Generals report then congressman and see what comes out and what action is taken by you and the republicans in congress and chairman nunes. Congressman biggs, good to have you. Good to be with you. David david while they turn up the heat on the a russian investigation. The liberal and the media are doing their best to attack President Trump. Watch this. The key word in all of this that he keeps using is tainted. There is only one institution that really has been tainted through these months. That is the trump presidency. Have you got him attacking the judiciary. Have you him attacking the cia. You have him attack the department of justice, the fbi. This is the conduct of someone who could become a tyrant if we dont step in and speak out against them. The fbi is a key part of the fair and transparent Legal Process that defines our democracy. So every time the president tweets against the fbi or tweets against the department of justice, he is making the russians job a lot easier. David joining us with reaction to all of this nationally incident is indicated radio host larry elder. Former press secretary for Vice President pence mark loader and fox news legal analyst Gregg Jarrett here with me in the studio. Gregg, i want to go to you first and take off of what congressman biggs said. The reason they illicitted. Have you been very clear in your writings about the lawen this. And how this investigation was started. But this started as i said Counter Intelligence operation to find fought what the russians did do you think we are going to get back to that point and how can we get back to that . Well, the entire set of investigations are all based on one fictitious document. This dossier was used to launch the trump russia investigation. David admitted by director comey in the end. Which then morphed into the Mueller Investigation. It was also used apparently for a fisa warrant to spy on the trump campaign. So, if it turns out that after a year and a half the fbi and the department of justice cant verify the authenticity or contents of the dossier, then what have you is inherently a fraudulent investigation. What struck me about what the congressman said is james comeys role in all of this, he may have committed several times. Not only in converting Government Property for his own use in leaking it to trigger the investigation. By rornted mueller, but you will find out, i guarantee this, that james comey also had a direct role in selecting his longtime friend and ally and former partner Robert Mueller. Which is unconscionable. In the case. And any obstruction of. Yes. David one quick question, gregg before we bring the rest of the panel in, yes or no. Whether james comey used a personal laptop or government laptop is it still the same violation. It is. He was acting in the scope of his job as fbi director when he wrote it. It is Government Property. Its not his. He is not allowed to take it with him. And there are pretty significant reports that on those seven president ial memos are classified materials. Which means that comey taking them home is a crime just like Hillary Clinton committed crimes in my judgment by having 110 classified emails on her home personal unauthorized unsecured server. David lets bring in our panel in full view larry good to see you, mark good to see you. You two too. David the politics of this is there the media we talked about that aspect is there. But, the republicans have to come together and launch and try investigation process. Political analyst. Or do you see the typical Washington Commission that postures as they go through their time . I think david, at this point, there has been so much as donald trump put it taint on this investigation that most republicans right now are content let the thing play out. All of these problems regarding the bias, people involved in the investigation, this phony dossier that gregg was talking about. Let this thing play out. Republicans are not going to believe it democrats already want him impeached. Independence are in the middle. You are not going to find two thirds senators willing to throw donald trump out of the office in the unlikely event that the democrats take over the house and impeach him. Let it go. Let donald trump stick to the getting economy rolling around at 4 g. D. P. And 2020 he will be overwhelmingly reenvironmental Protection Agency elected. Thats how most republicans are playing this right now. Think its a perfectly valid and sensible way of playing it let it play out. David lets take it right inside the white house or formner this case. Mark, you and i have talked about this on my radio show aest hough topics. Looking at the point of view you have been there, how do you take this if you are the administration. How do you approach this . Let it play out as larry said . Absolutely. The white house continues to cooperate fully with the special counsel through all of that process. And they are looking forward to this being done in an exat the diciousz fashion. One of the key things that we have also found out here just recently and some very good reporting by the Washington Post that the Obama Administration new years ago about the warning signs that were developing of what russia was planning to do how they were planning to attack elections integrity with cyber warfare. And they did nothing about it. So, heres once again another case where the feckless leadership of the former administration led to the problems that donald trump is having to clean up as president , weather its funding he see cocaine and turning a blind eye to that and looking the other way on this. Democrats dont have a message. A witchhunt to cover president obamas failures. David lets go around the around the table. Legal aspects of this and marc just mentioned the extension of this if they find out there was undue influence exerted by the administration or with some 30 agencies as being reported by politico of all things, involved in this operation project cassandra, are these adjunct to this investigation . Dont expect Robert Mueller to prosecute his long time friend james comey which mueller used to be the director. This requires a Second Special counselor. If it turns out that people for political reasons Senior Management and the fbi to some extent to the department of justifiable, fixed it so Hillary Clinton was absolved, and went after donald trump targeting him as the socalled insurance policy law firming a fraudulent investigation against him, all of that would constitute obstruction of justice several people. Dont count on Jeff Sessions to do this. It requires and commands a Second Special counselor. Back to larry elder being on the politics of this. On the expansion of the investigation. I keep coming back to how do we narrow this back to the issue. And bring out the bad actors and charge them. My friend, again, i am skeptical of the ability of washington to focus given the deep state existence of many in the top echelon and this is not about the line agent. This is suits vs. Boots. And the suits and the politicals that have been made permanent, i think thats where a lot of this problem lies. Well, this is all about the allegation that trump is in bed with putin. The person that ought to be we ought ton looking at in terms of being in bed with putin was barack obama. One of president obamas first acts as president was to ditch the deal that george w. Bush had negotiated for a defense of poland and the Czech Republic because he wanted to curry favor with the russians and do the iran deal. It was obama on hot mike told medvedev after the election i will have more flexibility. It was obama who slammed mitt romney suggesting russia was a big geopolitical problem. If anybody wants to talk about who was cozying up with russia and putin, we ought to be talking about obama. Not trump. Terrified david all right. Marc. We cant go back in time. Fortunately we can look at it we can look at actions taken by the previous administration. Cassandra. You have got to move the ball forward on this. And does examining the Obama Administrations actions bring us any closer to exposing whats going on inside the deep state within the liberal quarters or the washington quarters or the bureaucratic quarters . Obviously, if you are going to influence elections or come up with insurance policies, that needs to be looked at. Because there could be and i will trust gregg on that if there is potential criminality there. Mean while the president , the Vice President the entire white house are focused on doing the job of the entire American People. They got tax cuts done. That money is going to be in the peoples pockets in the next couple months, next on to immigration, infrastructure, and possibly even entitlement reform. The president is barely Getting Started of right now. They will keep focused on that and we will leave the history and looking for craghts to those who do it best. All right, gentlemen, gregg, marc, and larry, thank you so much. Thank you very much. All right. Vanity fair just released a tongue in cheek video and guess what . Its targeting Hillary Clinton. I know you are surprised about that. And many on the left predictably, i cant say this with a straight face, they are triggered. Well explain next. Stay with us.

Actually posted it online video. 8 democrats specifically. Watch this. Time to start working on your sequel to your book what happened. What the hell happened. Get someone on your tech staff to disable auto fill on your iphone so that typing an f doesnt become Form Exploratory Committee for 2020.

Cheers to you, hillary. Cheers to you Hillary Clinton. David as can you probably imagine easily offended liberals were on twitter were outrage some calling the skit sexist. How do you do that . Its a woman suggesting knitting. We will get that that. Actress Patricia Arquette particularly provoked stop telling women what the bleep she should do or cant do get over mommy i. Socalled feminists have been much less willing to come to the defense of First Lady Melania Trump after newsweek posted this extremely, extremely misleading headline, quote Melania Trump orders removal of the near 200yearold tree from the white house. Melania did, in fact, order the removal of the Jackson Magnolia but only under the advice of experts who fear that the tree could fall at any moment. Currently because the facts matter here its relying on the support of a metal pole and Intricate System of wires to keep it standing. Joining us now former secret Service Agent dan bongino probably been under this magnolia tree at some time probably lounging on his afternoon off and Fox News Contributor tomi lahren. Good to see you both. Dan, have you been under the magnolia tree . Have you lounged . I have. And im glad she took it down because it was about to fall down and maybe mow down all the people in the press corps. Listen, im no fan of the press but i dont want a magnolia tree to fall on them. Thank you, melania, for making the sound move. That was a good move. Thumbs up. David all right. So tommy, you know, the tree hugger corps, they didnt consider that ann arborist or someone who is an expert. On top of this from another point of view i have gone up and down down the Garden District in new orleans and other parts of the country. They often trim thee trees. They grow out. They become heavy. I Pay Attention to trees occasionally. Tommy, this attack on the first lady vastly different than the triggered left and family them defenders. Lets compare them. You have vanity fair making a joke about Hillary Clinton. In the second story you have actual fake news that people are going to believe. The two, you cannot compare. But going back to that first thing i am just so happy that the Mainstream Media, the leftist Mainstream Media might i add vanity fair actually decided to make fun of Hillary Clinton. I give them some credit four that because they are not really quick to do that and they are going to take some heat for it i applaud them. Finally they are coming to their senses and they got a sense of humor. I have got to have a sense of humor about this, guys. I am about to bring back something that will make my uncle chuck very happy. Knitting. Its supposedly sexist because according to vanity fair and the woman who suggested it in the video its sexist to suggest that to Hillary Clinton. Mental do knit and heres rosy grier to prove that. You like working with your hands . Well they are not going to work for you without training and help. Boy, you can get that training and help right now at the job corps. Im not talking about needle point. Im talking about training in over 100 different wellpaying skills and trades. Dont worry about people laughing at you. Get your training at the job corps. Rosy. Huh . Youre so smart. I know. David whether its knitting or needle point. I dont know the difference but guys do it too. Im mocking them a little bit here because the used that its sexist and you are triggered dan just because you use the word where the left they put us in boxes. Yeah. David, a couple things. Number one, if you are going to put out a video like this and subject yourself to the far left social media mob and outrage campaign, make it funny. Im sorry, really wasnt that funny. It was kind of stupid. But, secondly, yeah, i do applaud the male for finally opening themselves up for humor on the other side. Remember, it was a joke, liberals. A joke. Joke. Or joe biden was spelling it jokee. Get it . Do you have to be victims all the time . I get it you cant leave your safe spaces and put your chloroforms down and your magic markers. But smile, turn that frown upside down. Laugh a little bit. Not everything is man kian and end of the world. David you have taken heat as a conservative woman, are they going to change their behavior or is it really that far gone on the left that the socalled feminine defenders will not defend women first but separate them by their political categories . And by the way, the first lady wh by all accounts successful. Thee speaks five languages. She is accomplished. Is is someone who should be a story,. Its a very selective brand of feminism the left likes to use time and time again. Do i expect it to change . Absolutely not. Going back to the humor of the whole thing, this is the left, this is a group of people. Kathy griffin included who thought it would be funny, thought it would be a joke to decapitate trump and pose for art. Now if you would go into Hillary Clinton going into the woods suddenly thats below the belt . I dont expect them to see it as i do. I love them thinkingerring pus would gid several micro aggressions for many on the left. Im okay with that. Look ahead to 2018, the strategy seems to be as obama did, as liberals do, put everybody in boxes, tell them your interest. Dan, first to you. Is this successful strategy for them . It was in the past, david, when the walter cronkite, tom brokaw era when they had a monopoly over media. Essence is. This dont vote for us, vote against the republicans because they hate you. Thats the democrats motto. This has always been their motto. The problem with that as the monopoly starts to break down and information disseminated through channel that focuses more fair and balanced stuff. Have you breitbart, conservative review, the daily caller. People are getting their information from different sources. The short answer is no its not going to work in the future. Information monopoly is breaking down and breaking down bad. David take that and go further. Do the democrats have another strategy in place going into 018 and looking at the mid terms . They dont. They absolutely do not. Lets think about what they have done in 2017. They have protested. They have resisted. They voted against a tax break for 80 of henderson. Lets see, they vorsted to pardon Illegal Immigrants or their leaders have paid that decision. Will its going to be hard to win an election in 2018 or 2020 when the only thing you are promoting is identity politics and resistance. Meanwhile donald trump is winning for all americans. Im really excited to see how these next elections are going to come out. David dan, tommy, great to see you. We will do this again soon. Thanks. Coming up. The democrats continue to go way, i mean way way off the deep end in their attacks against donald trump. You wont believe failed president ial candidate howard dean, he wrote famous scream he wont go away either, stay with us. Your brain changes as you get older. But prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. The name to remember.

I retire as champion. Game hog champion. Go back to work and do your jobs in the case of builders and farmers and so many others. They can now go back to doing their jobs. We have the alltime record for stopping ridiculous regulations and were very proud of that record. Thats one of the reasons the stock market is at a record level. David welcome back to hannity. President trump touting the action taken on the economy and helped the stock market reach alltime highs. You wont hear most democrats acknowledge accomplishments like this. They have spent the some turning for his itch impeachment, others have gone for calling him a criminal. Take a look at what former dnc chairman howard dean said about President Trump last night. Pretty clear he is shaking down foreign governments or his staff is shaking down foreign governments who have moved their events to his hotel in washington. Somebodys request in order to get favors. You know this guy, i have said for a long time i think he is running a criminal enterprise out of the white house. I think thats bob mueller. David he missed that whole issues about the hotel who stays there. After comments like that. Former democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich urging the party to change its message. Watch what he said earlier on americas newsroom. We want to bring democrats back who may have voted for donald trump and a way to do that instead of focusing on replacing President Trump, and bringing in a president pence, we ought to be focusing on the things that attract people to the democratic party, jobs, wages, healthcare, education, retirement security. That will get people excited about voting democrat. David i am writing notes as fast ace can from dennis little rattled off list there joining us for reaction Fox News Contributor Washington Times columnist charlie hurt, Fox News Contributor Rachel Campos duffy. I got to tell you, watching Dennis Kucinich rattle off the list, charlie, charlie, charlie, the party of taxes, lower taxes they just voted against them. They wouldnt help. The party of the middle class, the middle class left and the blue wall voted for President Trump. Really . And all they have got is impeachment and he is a criminal without proof. Exactly. Its a rereminder just how much donald trump stole democrats lunches in the last election. You know, all the things that they claim to be for, it turned out that donald trump was for and a lot more effective at selling it. The democrats going into next years elections they are in a terrible situation. In that they basically have to bank on the economy being terrible and things tanking in this country. And that and, you know, not just the tax cuts, were also talking about all the regulation like President Trump cass talking about firehouse talking about cutting all the regulations. That all of that is a boon to the economy. If the economy picks up the way a lot of people are anticipating it to pick up, democrat arent going to have anything to run on except oh its not as good as you think it is. David all right, rachel, by the way if democrats get their way your husband is going to be out of office next year. They are looking to take back the congress no matter what. Lets talk about what really needs to happen here. The democrats are going to sell their narrative. Guy back to what we do. We have got to play our game better on the right. Do you see the congressional actions backing um the president . He has done something amazing as i see it by asking congress their constitutional job as prescribed and the roles that they play in legislation. He has done the executive orders. Pushing things back to congress. Is this the next step for the republicans . Do they have to do this in the house . First of all, i just want to say, talk a little bit about what Dennis Kucinich said he is right on. The task for democrats right now is to win back the blue collar working class union democrats, white voters that they lost in the last election donald trump. By talking about impeachment. A constant per pet tralg state of outrage they are not having the conversation they need to have with them. In fact they are insulting them. The president you voted for is stupid. And youre stupid and thats not the way to start a conversation. A respectful conversation with people you are trying to woo back. You wanting to say hey, listen, i understand why you voted for him. You were frustrated. We lost you. We want to win you back. But, impeachment just says youre stupid. And were going to undo what happened in the last election. Back to the republican congress, look, they pulled together on this tax reform, probably having failed on healthcare. Really force them to actually go, whoa, this is do or die. And lets give credit for credit is due. They passed tax reform and they actually very sneakingly snuck in the repeal of the obama care mandate. Which essentially does kill obamacare. They have the wind on their back. I think donald trump wants to start with infrastructure which is a bipartisan move. I know other republicans wanted to go into entitlement reform. They are starting new year with a lot of good stuff on their side of the ledger. And charlie is right. The democrats have to count on all of these tax cuts and all the other good stuff that the republicans are doing for the when we that it wont work. David all right, so, charlie, we hear this a lot. Mid term elections. Typically the party with the white house loses seats. But the thing thats changed here is the electorate. The electorate is in a new generation economically to some degree a new voting. The minutes are getting older. Blue wall, blue collars, independents, women voters that have changed how they analyze votes. And the antifailure group out there in america from other ethnicity that says government hasnt delivered. How do the democrats make a case given what rachel just said when the success comes from republican legislation and that can continue to compound . Can you make the case for the democrats . Is it possible . Well, and i think to a large degree thats why donald trump won is because he sort of side stepped the entire democratic argument and as rachel was pointing out, not only do they start with an insulting, you know, campaign. But then they immediately go in this sort of old wornout thing where you divide voters by race and gender and religion which is thats the only way that democrats ever manage to win anything. And donald trump really did, he sort of he kind of figured out a way around that like no other republican has before him. Partly because he is not afraid of it he doesnt care. He doesnt mind getting into these fights with them about this stuff. He calls them on their nonsense. And so, you know, if democrats have to resort to thaty the again, and like i said, if the economy goes as it ought to go with these tax cuts and the cuts in regulation and things like that. They just end up looking like silly racialists and genderrists and whatever else istss. David rachel, let me go to the middle of the country where you are. Sure. David and that charlie just said. The folks out there are not on the wing. They are not listening to the elite media. A lot of people in the 65 chunk of this country. They are looking at their Kitchen Table issues. You do it and the risk averse republican congressman and senators up there, do they need a little bit more trump . Let trumpen trump to borrow the title of the book but also do the republicans need a little more trump . ,. What they need to do is when this economy is doing well, if this rocket fuel from this tax reform goes they need to own it. Believe me, as soon as things go really United Statesgreatdemocrats are going y obama set the stage for this. No, donald trump deregulated this economy. The republicans passed tax reform and thats wide we are enjoying the recovery we are enjoying. Remember, its the economy, stupid. When people feel good. Remember, nancy pelosi just said that this tax reform quote unquote was armageddon. When the tax reforms produced the results, they are going to look like false prophets and, again, there is so much outrage fatigue. I dont think anyone is believing them. They are talking about impeachment. They are talking about russia. They are not trying to win back the people they lost. And they are leaving a huge opening for the republicans who are focused on the economy, on making peoples lives better. David all right. If we win those Kitchen Table issues, thats what people care about. Thats right. Thats what matters. David charlie and rachel good to see you both. Thank you. Thank you.

[ applause ] isis is we have no choice. David welcome back to hannity. President trump on the campaign trail throughout 2016. Promising the American People that his administration would crush isis if he was elected and it looks like he has kept his promise. According to u. S. Military official, the islamic military group has lost almost all of its territory, 98 to be exact. Half of that territory having been recaptured since President Trump took office less than one year ago. Also, the latest american intelligence assessment states that fewer than 1,000 isis fighters remain in iraq and syria. Thats down from a peak of nearly 45,000 two years ago. President trump praising military campaign against isis just a few days ago. Lets take a look at. This our military has been doing a fantastic job in so many ways with isis. We have made tremendous strides. Obviously in syria, with isis. We have taken back virtually all of the caliphate. All of the land. Same thing in iraq and we are making tremendous strides. Sort of the unwritten story right now. David here with reaction Senior Intelligence officer tony shaffer and american first action and spokesman and advisor former milwaukee sheriff david clarke. Greagreat to see you tonight. Lets dive right. In tony,i will go to you first on this. Where we are with isis, they have evolved, as is expected. If you take away land, they expand into those ungoverned spaces. What are they and what do we expect next they are giving out threats about new years eve. Thats the thing. We defeated them where they lived. That doesnt mean its over. We have made great progress and as you said in the runup, dave, the pentagon has done what it is supposed to do. Its done its job and done it extraordinarily well. What we need to do now is allow the pentagon to continue to do its job. Prior to President Trump coming in. I was part of the transition team. I was part of those discussions where the president made it very clear, you know, i want you to go out and do your job. The big thing now, david, is for the president to continue to allow general joe dunford and jim mattis to do their job. Joe has been very good this by, with and through strategy working through allies and folks there on the ground. We need to expand that and we have to go after isis everywhere they are now which includes afghanistan, pakistan, yemen, libya, and other places. But the bottom line is we are making solid progress. David all right. So you know, david, bringing this home to the American Home front. What tony talks about involves other aspects of human intelligence. We have got Counter Intelligence operations. But you are on the ground. Sheriffs like yourself, the Law Enforcement community in this country are responsible for the people in their communities. Lets bring that as expected into it fjt what we can do when isis goes into ungoverned spaces. When they inspire someone on the sweater or someone takes up that flag such as it is. There has to be effective counter tragedy to their recutement. Before i get too far into that its been incredible the progress made with isis. We went from a president in obama calling them the jay vee of terror organizations to being a world waived threat. We sea chearngd in chief now with donald trump whose rhetoric packs a punch. The enemies are afraid of this guy and this country again. Donald trump has taken the gloves off of the United States military. He has changed the rules of engagement. He has used the military for what they are designed to do, what they are designed to do well at, to fight and win wars. So couple that with the efforts here at home. And its always going to be a challenging. Always going to be threats. Look, we are an open society. We are targetrich environment. I will tell you what, these folks over there, these terrorists will be thinking twice about attacking the interior of the United States because there will be severe consequences when they do. David you know, tony, there are other areas and this is a larger ideological problem not just relate toifd isis. The defamation. The loss of that caliphate in the desert that they wanted to do as a symbol. Call it their world view. They are in myanmar. Radicals are operating aroundtaroundtharoundth s world. Terrorist attack in russia shah earlier today. What taking on that issue . As sheriff clarke said look, we have got to get ahead of this in terms of human intelligence. Penetrate a network. To your point, david, i work with sheriff dave decatur in virginia. We have to figure out a way to bridge from foreign uses so to the United States how radicalization happens through migration and online assault conventionally out conversion. This is something now we have to go to the next level. Okay, we deprived them of the space. Were on their tail. Were going to beat them. But we have to defeat the ideology. And thats where we have to go next with this. Foreclosure and domestic effort to do that. David, sheriff clamor part of the problem i z. How we deal with warriors tastes. I have i dont know from violating the you. There has been discussion about desegg thation nateing them. Im someone who has upheld that shield what do you say to that . Its long been my position. One of two ways we can approach this. Either these things are criminal acts which i do not think they are or they are acts of war. I believe they are acts of war. There are different rules that apply to enemy combatants. I think gitmo needs to be use dollars when these i have are here in the United States. I think you need to isolate them from the american justice system. Its a higher stashed to try to cover i dont mean when you try to convict these individuals. You dont want them mixed in with the prison population use it as recruiting ground and convert american frirchs over to their sired. Thats something the president of the United States commanderinchief donald trump, the pentagon, the state department, those are decisions of congress, too, plays a role in this as to how we are going to handle. This i think it needs to be reviewed. David all right, gentlemen, i have about a minute left. I have to throw this topic in there because it puts a bit of a smile on my face. It will drag them. This build near the western bawl after president donalds john trump. Toby, first to you. Bipartisan vote they support this. Democrats are talking out of both sides of their mouth. This is a good thing. David all right. David to you . How cool is that, the trump train on the wall over in israel. Goes to show the president they have for a chearpd in chief, donald trump, who has made it clear during the campaign he said he would will always be on the side of israel. He doesnt just talk the talk, he walks the walk. He is great. David they felt this was the appropriate thing to do. Delayed clark, tone shaffer great to talk to you more hannity after the break.
