Liars leisure is an liberals, which really was about the Upper Echelon of the department of justice and the fbi and the corruption that i believe had gone on their coming out the rank and file obviously. I step back and i looked at what was going on in this country it was the kind of thing that i had never seen in my lifetime and i realized that it was all about the radicals who were resisting what the American People did it and putting donald trump in the oval office and then resisting everything donald trump was doing and it was all about revenge because Hillary Clinton did not win the 2016 president ial election. I saw it as a plot to remake america by the left. Everything from fundamental values, the constitution, the bill of rights, the criminal Justice System as well as the economic system. So the book is really a reflection of today, what the left has done in response to donald trump in a way that ive never seen in the hominy decades that ive been in Law Enforcement and in politics. I want to talk about the book but i also have to ask about the president shortly after midnight this morning retweeting your opening monologue calling jim call me leaking lion james comey and i mentioned that because my question is, how much influence do you think you have over the president he clearly watches your program on saturday evenings on fox. Ive known the president for almost 30 years and my then husband was his lawyer and we spent a great deal of time with him especially traveling back and forth with him on the weekends with our children. To florida and we had a home there and he obviously did as well. I know him as a good man hes known me as a prosecutor as a District Attorney and had been a prosecutor and judge nda for 30 years we would often talk about criminal justice. Whether or not the president takes my advice and i very much appreciate that he retweeted my open. I spent a lot of time on my opens. As someone who spent many years in the courtroom i realize that when you have an allegation you have to back it up with facts and thats what i do with my Opening Statements every weekend on Fox News Channel on justice. My arguments are backed up with facts and that the president retweeted it, it must be that he must have liked something about it. But i dont know that i have any influence over him at all. I think that the president is a kind of man who likes to hear from a lot of different people and then makes up his own mind and i think that what Many Americans may not know about the president is that in his esmind hes an incredible chess player, he knows about all the steps long before they occur. He will take advice and listen to other people and then whats interesting in the sense that to try something send out a particular issue, throw it out there, see how it plays. Hes a very smart man and the fact that hes been so successful in his presidency only two years in so far 2. 5 years as an indication of how smart the man really is. Without me or anyone else influence income. Do you think you speak the president s language in your program and your tweets and in your book . There have been several newspaper articles where they will say that i speak Donald Trumps language. Maybe we are both new yorkers, i dont put myself in his category at all. Im just kind of an in your face nononsense straight shooter and the prosecutor, and the judge. I dont waste time with niceties. I see things and call them as i see them. I think that a lot of the things that he sees i see in a very similar way. Its really very fundamental. When the president ran in 2016 he talks about law and order and i thought it was interesting because law and order is close to my heart thats what i did for three decades. And i said, thats interesting. Now they look back i say the man was prescient. Who knew that law and order would be under attack . Who knew that the fundamentals of truth and justice would be under attack . And that that thin blue line that separates the civilized from the Barbaric Society would be as thin as it really is. And he was so right about that. Thats the kind of thing ive been talking about my whole career. Things need to have consequences, in that regard, i agree with him. I think most people agree with him. Sthats why this outsider was elected president because when he speaks, whether politically correct or not, and i dont think it is politically correct and i think it was refreshing for many people. He makes sense. He speaks and thinks the way Many Americans do. In spite of everything and the criticism the truth is hes delivering on his promises and he makes sense to most americans. I suspect before you even answer the question that before you even ask the question, the 2020 you will see that most Americans Still agree with that man. From the book you write the following for over two years the presidency of the United States has been under siege, our tocommanderinchief has be subjected to unprecedented maligning by the Mainstream Media, highlevel Obama Administration officials and disappointed disgruntled and deranged democrats all because they despise the president we put in the oval office. Can you explain. Thats what i said. You want me to back it up . Go for it. Okay. From the day the president took office, from when he was president elect, the hate and the venom coming from the left was unlike anything ive ever seen. And i want to make one thing clear, this isnt o about democrat and republican. This is about american versus unamerican, its about right versus wrong. Its about respect for the president , respect for the office, respect for the american flag. Respect for our system of justice. This man has not gotten one day in the oval Office Without incoming. What am i talking about . Im talking about the protests when they started staying with my madonna talking about i thought about blowing up the white house. And johnny depp saying one was last time an actor assassinated the president end from day one it was impeached 45. And on the left they were saying, we are not going to the inauguration. We are not going to show up. The man won fair and square. This wasnt an issue that had to go to the court to be decided. He won the presidency, he won by the electoral college, which is in the constitution and thats the end of that. But they werent happy with that. They were so upset that they couldnt drag Hillary Clinton across that president ial finish line that the revenge and the venom it was Something Like i had never seen before. Everyone around him, his family wasnt safe. His daughterinlaw laura trump, erics wife, the first time she was pregnant they said i hope she has a miscarriage. I hope she falls down. When did america turn into a people who were so angry at someone simply because he won . I think the fascinating part of this, having known the anpresident for so many years i that when you would walk down the street with the president 20 years ago before he even thought about being president , hardhats loved him. Lisa loved him. You go to dinner with him, he go into the thkitchen. He would always take care people in the kitchen. He was kind, he would take pictures, he was just a good man. All the sudden, he was a guy, they wanted quotes from, they wanted cameos in the movie, they wanted to be with him. And the singers, r b everybody wanted to be in one of his hotels, his casinos, then all the sudden he runs for president as a republican and hes public enemy number one. What changed . One thing. He got into politics. The man that they loved and adored all the sudden became the enemy. Thats why i talk about the white house being under siege. I talked about the fact that everything hes done he has accused of being a racist, misogynist, 90 of the press about him is negative. He didnt even get a honeymoon period of one day. You look at melania trump, his wife, i knew her before they married. We would go out with them before they actually got married. She is a lovely elegant woman who is intelligent, who speaks five languages, all the sudden she is stupid according to chelsea handler. They are under siege. Yet the man gets up every day, hes the tip of the spear and he goes out and he fights for america and what he has done is he is won. Unemployment is the lowest its been in a century. Africanamerican, asian, hispanic, lowest unemployment and history. We have 3. 7 unemployment. The gdp with obama said one percent was the new normal. He hit four percent then three percent. There was negotiations going on, hes taking on china. Tieverything is negative about him. Howard guest is judge Jeanine Pirro joining us from new york. We will give abwe will take your calls in a 20moment. You can join us on social media our twitter at cspan wj. One quick followup because the president bear any responsibility for the tone that he sets . He has been a very divisive president , very critical on twitter talk when you talk about the partisanship in this country, doesnt white house bear some response ability . Look. The president has made it clear that what he wants to do is keep us safe he wants to get jobs he wants to make sure the border is closed. No one has a right to come into this country. It is a privilege. It is something we grant people. When he doesnt want people coming into this country unless they get in line like everyone else for the simple reason that we need to vet them, we need to know who they are, we need to know what they have to offer us like everyone else who waits in line then now hes a racist . Why do it as namecalling . What namecalling are you talking about . When hes giving monikers to the candidates or talking about members of congress they should go back to where they came from. That tone . But you didnt finish the probe, to go back and then come back and do it here. You didnt finish the quote. He didnt say go back to where he came from that they could go back and then come back and do it again here. Thats the problem. Hes accused of being racist, but at the same time, they never finish a sentence and explain that he isnt one. The man is the least racist person i know, based on his history and what ive seen him do with people. To answer your question directly, do i think he is responsible . No i dont think he is responsible. Hes a man whos got passion, hes a man who calls things the way he sees them. Hes also a man whos not going to take any gruff. Hes going to counterpunch. Thats who he is. is a Straight Talking hard pushing new yorker. From the book you write the following command he treats Vladimir Putin the same way he treats president jeanxi abhis opponents can spin it any way they want the donald trump is going to fight for this country, his style is working. Lets get to your phone calls. Bob is joining us from hometown Illinois Republican line. Good morning. Good morning steve. Good morning cspan, good morning judge, i love your show i love your books. Vei dont know if you have book in the work but i have an idea about a book about Climate Change. Here about 90 per 97 percent of the scientists were Climate Change i would like you to interview the other three percent that can prove why Climate Change we could spend 22 trillion on Climate Change would it make a difference at all when Vice President biden trades in his Cadillac Escalade and his chevy suburban for neon leaf or chevy volt i will believe him. Thank you. Thanks bob. Of course what bob is talking about is hypocrisy of the left which i talk about in the book of course. The hypocrisy of the hollywood hypocrites. And the fact that its almost as though the left wants to tell us what we should drive what we should eat where we should live that we should retrofit our houses. We should get rid of our airplanes. And now we shouldnt eat hamburgers. Sh its very interesting, bob, i want to say one thing. When the Green New Deal came out and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez started talking about the Greenhouse Gas emissions and she said, we get net zero and the reason we cant get total zero is because of the a ai remember saying to myself, they are going to start telling us that we can have cows. Sure enough within a few days she said, we dont need to eat hamburgers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You are not going to tell americans what they can eat. The people on the left ought to focus on the things that are important. And one of them is not telling us how many hamburgers we can have, what kind of straws we should have, whether or not we should be able to drive a car or instead not be able to fly on an airplane when people like abactors and actresses flyer around and leave the Carbon Footprint them themselves in their private jets. She is a hypocrisy that the American People can deal with. This is what im going to tell you what to do bbut dont mind me, im going to do what i want to do. We are glad you are here on a sunday morning on cspan and i mentioned that because im sure you saw the story from the Hollywood Reporter the headline fox news clamping down on judge Jeanine Pirro indicating youre not allowed to appear with bill oreilly on newsmax. Yes. Is your job safe at fox news . Whats going on . Let me make something clear and put that to rest, ive been at fox for about i think 8 and a half years now. And i have a show where i am allowed to do and say what i want im given perfect freedom to say what i want. I have an opinion show, i love my show, i love working at fox and a lot of people talk about what can be done and what cant be done. The truth is, im in a position where i can talk to millions of people and i can give them the Straight Talk they become accustomed to from justice on saturday night. I continue to do that, im here with you, ive been on a book tour since my book came out. I expect to be at fox for many more years. I have a longterm uscontract s all is well. thank you though. Speaking of fox news and the tweet from the president from august 20 when he said that fox isnt working for us anymore. What he tweeted that what was he referring to . I dont know, youd have to ask him about that. Im not quite sure what that was about. And believe me, im not trying to avoid the question. I really wasnt in the mix at that point i dont know if i was away or actually i think i was away. In any event, youd have to ask him. Will go to kevin in denver colorado. Good morning. Good morning jeanine. Good morning. Congratulations on your suspension. You were suspended, you share that with the audience, and before you attack the left about us and what we do to you conservatives, he gets negative coverage because he lied and distorts. Every single morning, every single day we have to tune in to a level of idiocy and on stability that this nation has never seen on the left or on the right. You, maam, and your network, you keep this , alive. Recently just last week you said, the democrats are trying to replace you. So you are saying that you are predominantly bolder, white audience, one percent of your audience is black, probably less than that for your show. Will get response. Kevin in colorado. First of all, the truth is, the venom that is coming from the left i think is clearer every day. When they tried to shut down the people on the saying and exercising their First Amendment free speech. When they are taken off of twitter and facebook when the left demands that people lose their jobs and their shows. When the left like Debra Messing just lost last week said i want to out everyone who supports donald trump so that they never work in this town again. When the left gets to the point they want to shut down free speech they dont want us to speak at universities. They then dont want us to work, bill mars would rather have a recession so americans dont work and then you got this mccarthyism and this blacklisting coming from the left. You got to ask m yourself, wher is the venom coming from here . The First Amendment is a constitutional right. The united igstates is protecte hate speech, in fact, dave said the Supreme Court had said to specifically its not just speech everyone agrees its protected, its hate speech as well. And then ansi fall comes in a bunch of bozos and ninja outfits who are cowards who cover their faces to attack people on the right, a Domestic Terrorist Organization and the police stand down and dont make an arrest because they are told by liberal mayors that they cannot make arrests if people on t4 and just last month they were attacking people on a bus with a hammer. If you want to talk about the fundamental freedoms that are being limited, they are being limited by the left and then you got the constitution where when someone like Brett Kavanaugh is nominated for the United StatesSupreme Court, the closest thing to an altar boy that ive seen an adult male in my lifetime then he is called a dang rapist. He denied the presumption of innocence because hes a republican. In the United States senator a woman who belongs to the most Prestigious Club in the howorlab asays all women need to be believed and men should just shut up. Thats not the criminal Justice System, thats not the presumption of innocence. That we hold near and dear to our hearts. But when its a republ
