we are out of time this evening unfortunately. but the good news is, will be back tomorrow. 8:00 p.m. the sworn enemy of lying, smugness, and groupthink. sean hannity is buckled up in new york new york city. >> sean: thank you. great show as always. we have to start with something you are rarely ever going to see on this program. we need to thank the mainstream media mob in their latest rage filled psychotic effort to smear president trump. they accidentally did his campaign and frankly the country a huge favor. in fact, the media stumbled upon our serious credible claims of corruption surrounding the president's 2020 opponent. that would be sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe. we are going to go chapter and verse. very slowly, you will understand it. it gets a little complicated, but we've got the timeline down

perfectly. the story they want to tell you in the media. the real corrupt dealings, the abuse of power by joe biden, a member of his family, and how they became incredibly wealthy during his time in the obama administration, cashing in on his name and contacts. we are going to also lay it out step-by-step so maybe even the media mob, if they pay close enough attention, maybe they'll learn something for once. it all started last week, reports surfaced about this unnamed whistle-blower, who was accusing president trump of making and elicit unknown promise to ukraine's president. rushed to judgment again, claiming that president trump, well, he wanted ukraine to dig up dirt on joe biden. we witness to the level of hysteria that he was reporting. we have seen this now for over three years. and now that the russia, russia, russia, impeachment,

impeachment, impeachment collusion failed, well, they are accusing president trump of colluding with the ukraine. we know from john sullivan, ukraine admits to helping hillary clinton. but the media mob, they only care about interference in our elections if they can use it to bludgeon trump. they cared about russia, but not the dossier. many in the media mob predicting this will be the end of the trump administration. they been predicting that for years. as it turns out, though so-called "whistle-blower" wasn't even in question. whoops. this was not the first to have information. this was hearsay. look at this. even fake news cnn buried in a report they did over the weekend, the following line. "the whistle-blower didn't have correct knowledge of communications." who knows what this person hear

heard. meanwhile, the ukrainian foreign minister, president denied that trump put pressure on the ukrainian president. denied it. flat-out wrong. according to "the washington post," yep. no exquisite offered. catherine. >> the whistle-blower did not have firsthand knowledge of the conversation between president trump and the ukrainian president. the whistle-blower did not have direct knowledge of the july phone call. that matters, because typically multiple u.s. officials are on the call with the president, indicating the whistle-blower was not one of them. after consulting with the justice department, the top lawyer for the acting director joe maguire said the complaint was not standard.

congressional notification was not required. today, speaking to reporters at the u.n., president trump went on the offensive. >> did you tell the year ukrainian leader. >> president trump: no i didn't. no identity. joe biden said about his son. joe biden, it's a very dishonest he did. >> a separate source told fox news that it weakens the complaint, but not does not necessarily undercut all the complaints. >> sean: new york city mayor, rudy giuliani. all weighing in tonight's, along with john solomon and peter schweizer. they have written and investigated this extensively. it's pretty clear, the media's four day anti-trump binge was

yet another false, totally misguided, and as usual, they got it all wrong moment. but despite so much terrible reporting and misplaced hysteria, we got a big thanks to the media mob. they've highlighted joe biden and the country of ukraine. biden's conduct is now rightly in the spotlight. this may be the end of joe biden's campaign. let's take a look. >> the left knows that biden's son is a problem for him. this is why when clinton was running, these stories first originated back one hillary clinton was trying to make sure that biden didn't get into the race. i don't know who came up with this scheme. want to hear from that whistle-blower. but it sure looks like this game has backfired. like i said, i think this is probably the end of biden. >> end of his campaign customers legal i really do. >> sean: the congressman is

right. joe biden and his family should be very worried tonight. let's pay very close attention here, because here is what we know. thanks to the investigative work of reporter, john solomon, we can look out a very timeline. we start in 2014. this is when president obama appointed him to leave the operations in ukraine. april, 2014, biden's son scored a lucrative position on board i gas company. according to numerous reports, he had zero experience in the energy industry. zero experience in the oil and gas sector. zero experience in the country of ukraine. but this giant ukrainian oil and gas company reportedly shelled

out more than $3 million total to biden's private equity firm during this time. a year later in november 2015, joe biden was advised, get this, by "the new york times," that his son was under investigation by ukraine authorities, all. and in december, joe biden made his first request to fire the prosecutor, leading an investigation into the oil company that his son hunter was doing business with and making his son kind of wealthy, filthy rich. it looks like a classic scheme to me. in march 2016, according to the investigative reporting, vice president biden, he knew this prosecutor was investigating his son and was about to conduct an interview and request that hunter biden ask questions about what it was that he was doing with this

company that he was investigating. so what did then, vice president biden do? he actually leveraged $1 billion, your tax dollars, usaid, $1 billion. taxpayer dollars. and forced him to fire this prosecutor. we know this happens, because biden couldn't help but brag about it on camera. we've got the tape. >> were not going to give you the billion dollars. you are not the president. i said, i tell mike i'm telling you. you are not getting the billion dollars. you're not getting the money. son why would he demand that a ukrainian prosecutor be fired and leverage our tax dollars to

insist on the firing? that's a little odd, don't you think? it is u.s. law that all federal officials avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest when they are conducting u.s. foreign policy. clearly, this was of no concern to sleepy creepy crazy uncle jo sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe, 30330. apparently not concerning to the media mob either. we know where they stand on these things. they are not doing their very best to cover for the ailing 2020 contender. in fact, after running wild with the russia collusion hoax, two and a half plus years, propaganda, conspiracy theories, and a hoax, they haven't learned a thing, because the media mob is not telling you that any accusation of biden's wrongdoing is a conspiracy theory. no, that would be a lie. take a look. >> what actually happened with the bidens in ukraine?

will affect check the conspiracy theory. >> there is no evidence of any wrongdoing. >> president trump has repeatedly suggested without evidence that joe biden used his vp position to pressure ukraine to fire the country's top prosecutor. >> there is no proof whatsoever that joe biden did anything wrong or that hunter biden did anything wrong. it doesn't look right. it doesn't look great, but there's no evidence there. >> this could end up being like the 2020 version. oh, joe biden did something wrong in ukraine. >> sean: actually, the proof is in biden's own words that he can't find any evidence that he knew anything about oil, gas, energy. i guess they didn't see the tape of biden bragging about getting the ukrainian prosecutor fired by leveraging our tax dollars.

and by the way, where i grew up, that kind of sounds like either you do what i say, it kind of sounds like a black male sort of thing, but that's where i grew up. i want to use that phrase. maybe they just don't care, because it doesn't fit their psychotic truncating narrative. peter asked biden. he had an opportunity to ask him a question about this conflict in the ukraine. there was one angry uncle joe 30330. he was not happy about his question. >> mr. vice president, how many times have you ever spoken to your son and his dealings? >> sean: i've never spoken to my son about this. you should be looking at trump. the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me. everybody has looked at it and said there's nothing there. ask the right questions.

>> sean: ask the right questions. i say, "bingo" peter. why would a vice president of the united states of america be demanding that some ukrainian prosecutor be fired or he's going to take $1 billion and your tax dollars home with him and you got six hours to do it. wow. what biden said there is not true. as a matter of fact, also, that statement of peter doocy is an outright lie. he told the magazine that he has in fact spoken with his son about his ukrainian business deals. oops. having a hard time keeping the story straight. the left accuses president trump of a quid pro quo with ukraine.

the left spends in circles about a mere allegation. but they barely yon when president obama says, "tell vladimir that i will have more flexibility after the election." don't tell the american people. we have it on tape. two plus years, the left freaking out about trump-russia collusion. it didn't work out that way, did it? but we actually have tape of collusion, someone who thinks he's talking to a russian and has dirt on donald trump. there he is, the coward who is caught on tape. what is the nature? did vladimir see them? does vladimir have them? >> vladimir sees pictures. we got the tape.

>> also known as a person with a strange reputation. >> how do you spell her name? was the nature? >> well, there were pictures of trump. >> so, putin was made aware of the availability of the compromising material? they go yes, of course. >> thank you very much. we'll be back in touch with you to our staff to make arrangements to obtain these materials for our committee and for the fbi. i appreciate you reaching out to us. >> sean: they don't exist. just like the dossier was full of lies. you know, people in a bed. when the fbi finally got around to verifying the dirty dossier that hillary paid for, yeah, from the beginning, none of it was true. the left also accused trump campaign of working with russia to spread misinformation.

hillary's bought and paid for dirty dossier. conspiracy theorists like david corn, left wing hacks that spit any propaganda that's handed to them. likely disinformation from the get-go. late in the game, "the new york times" caught up with us, finally admitting that. and according to a brand-new article, in 2016, dnc contractors, they attempted to trash trump's one time campaign manager. the also try to get the ukrainian embassy to dig up dir. they recognize that they were in improper efforts. ukrainian prosecutors even tried to hand over evidence to engage

in election interference with a foreign country. they were turned away by the doj. by the way, while election interference and the mob it doesn't particularly care, welcome of course not. it's only one term for something wrong. no doubt democrats will be set up to their old tricks in 2020. after all, yeah, joe 30330 does have some very close ties to ukraine. unfortunately for biden, if congressman eat nunez is correc. by the way, we haven't even mentioned hunter biden's trip with his father to china. that deal was $1.5 billion. here with more reaction from the government accountability institute. he wrote about it in his best-selling book, "senior empire." john, i'll throw it to you first. anything that i've said here and anything in my timeline that you see is off, wrong, incorrect.

or is that all verified and on the record? >> john: it's accurate, everything you've said tonight, for my reporting. let me add a new fact that i just learned tonight. while talking to senior diplomats, i learned that on april 22nd 2014, less than three weeks before the holdings announced that hunter biden was joining their board, vice president biden match with the president of ukraine. in that meeting, according to a transcript, which i obtained tonight, he wanted to expand natural gas. he set up the exact scenario that hunter biden just a few weeks earlier cashed in on. >> sean: wow. this takes things to a whole new level. he's basically doing the bidding for his son's wealth creation. maybe his son would share with his father. >> john: those are the questions that ukrainians are trying to answer before the

prosecutor was fired. they never got to the bottom of that. but i do think that the evidence that the ukrainians possess is sitting there to be handled from the justice department who could pick that up tomorrow. the one you also broke the story how ukraine wanted to get us specific information. looking for ukraine to help interfere in the 2016 elections. tell us about that. >> the former ambassador to ukraine. excuse me. the former ambassador to the united states told me in a statement that in the spring, a contractor came to him and asked him to do two things. one, to turn over any intelligence linking donald trump to russia. two, one ukraine's president came to visit united states

later in the year in the middle of the election, they wanted him to make a statement. >> sean: wait a minute. so the democrats were looking to get the ukrainians to interfere in our elections. they want to give us that information. all right. peter, let me go to you, if i may. you wrote "secret empires." dominic hunter biden takes a tro asia with his father. and about 14 days after, he is doing a billion-dollar deal in private equity, and he has no background history with china or private equity, does he? >> peter: yeah, that's right, sean. i mean, what you see here is a pattern that emerged during the obama administration. joe biden became the point person to two countries in particular. ukraine and china. in both cases, his son cashed

in. ukraine, we talked about, he was basically getting $83,000 per month as part of his consulting fee, this corrupt energy company in china. he travels with his father in december aboard air force 2, while his father is meeting with chinese officials. hunter biden is doing we don't know what. but the evidence becomes clear, because ten days after the return to washington, his small boutique investment firm gets a one billion dollars deal. that's $1 billion with a b. it later expanded. that deal is with the chinese government. goldman sachs, bake of america. >> peter: can you confirm that he had no prior experience with

ukraine, oil, gas, or energy? did he have any experience with china? i would think that goldman sachs or one of the big banks would probably be a better candidate. [laughs] >> yeah, i think they would, sean. no background in china. very limited. it was a hedge fund he was involved in with his uncle, james biden. that ended up with massive lawsuits with allegations of fraud. any experience he has is certainly not the type of the chinese are interested in. the bottom line here is that we have paper trails. this is not like the russian dossier, where somebody sort of sad this is what happens. we have the financial records that hunter biden got from ukraine. john has the ledger and dominic. >> peter: i don't mean to interrupt. i'm running out of time.

don, you spoke to the prosecutor that was fired, correct? >> john: yet. he said just before he was fired, he was about to interview hunter biden. >> sean: that's when he stepped in. >> john: that's correct. >> sean: by the way, john, we will have you back tomorrow. when we come back, without rudy giuliani, , and an exclusive interview with vice president pence, all happening right here tonight. big night. stay with us.

♪ >> sean: more impeachment hysteria. we got him. again. again. except, it's blowing up in their face. it's taken three years to get to the truth. it's putting the pressure squarely on nancy pelosi. here with the reaction. fox news contributor. has a prosecutor never lost a single case. congressman, tell me. walk me through this. you are prosecuting this case against joe biden. how hard would it be? >> i don't know. i mean, the best tool a

prosecutor has is the ability to cross-examine witnesses. i every witness i called was cross-examined. reporters do whatever they do. i need to eyeball the witness and judge credibility. here's what my fellow citizens believe. if you are going to investigate one fact pattern, you need to identify a nearly identical fact pattern. what they don't like is the duplicity. they have the tendency to ignore. you just played the clip. the president of the united states said that he would win the duplicity is what drove me out of politics. look, no offense to your previous guests. there reporters. i'm not. i need to cross-examine people. >> sean: the thing i need to understand is when you have the

vice president of the united states saying, "you've got six hours. you either fire that prosecutor or i'm not giving you your billion dollars." they are our billion dollars. now why would a vice president of the united states of american, why would a vice president ever want a ukraine prosecutor fired? why? because john solomon talk to the prosecutor. he said that he knew that he was under investigation by the prosecutor. "the new york times" tipped him off to that. >> trey: but, i would want to question joe biden. but you would also want to cross-examine the one from ukraine. the curse of being a lawyer is you'd dominic you really don't believe anybody.

while, but you know what, it will happen when your viewers and others demand that it happe happen. he spent eight years covering for barack obama and did everything in his power to protect hillary clinton. all of the sun, now, is a fan of transparency. i hope they can see the duplicity of a guy like adam. >> peter: at least he thought they were. what's the nature of the compromise? pictures of donald. of course, thank you congressman. former new york city mayor, rudy giuliani. so good to see you. let's talk. you've been involved. let's first confirm john solomon's report. you didn't get involved in this on your own. should our statement departmeno go on a mission? >> rudy: the state department called me and asked me if i would take the call.

i was put together with him. he gave me enormously important facts. unlike the media, fake news, i wasn't operating on my own. i have to tell you, sean, i knew this back in november. somebody came to me and told me this entire fact pattern back in november. >> sean: you told me. >> rudy: i told you that biden was involved in very, very horrible corruption. shocking to me. i know people have a hard time, you know, i'm a republican. republican vice president of the united states selling out the country in this way. using his office for money. it's disgraceful. this guy was collecting million

millions. he is negotiating with? china? and the kid gets 1.5 billion? i don't want to pick on the kid. but if you have $1.5 billion to a guy they got thrown out of the military for drug addiction just a couple of days before. >> rudy: let >> rudy: let me tha couple of facts. no background in private equity. >> rudy: a seriously disturbed person. >> sean: no background in ukraine or energy. >> rudy: you know the three partners in the firm? he got thrown out of the military for being a drug addict. his stepson. why what is he doing involved in

this? this stinks to high heaven. it's a disgrace. it will be one of the great american scandals when it's eventually uncovered. it's not just ukraine. it's ukraine and china. and they cash in. you can't escape a pattern. and sean, i told you this was going to happen. >> sean: you did. >> rudy: it's going to get much worse. i guarantee it. >> sean: i guarantee it. stick to it there's documents. there's tapes. there is a come fleet money lawn of transaction. the money went from ukraine to latvia to cyprus to the u.s. i will add to what my friend john solomon said. another reason why the prosecutor got in trouble was. money laundering. that's what drug dealers did dominic do.

they use cyprus a lot. why does this kid get paid? you get paid by wire or by check. i get paid by wire. my money doesn't go to latvia, cyprus, the u.s., unless you are doing money laundering, which is a federal crime. they have the hillary clinton, bill clinton immunity from this. >> sean: let's look at what biden bragged about. i told him, you've got six hours. six hours. you are not getting the billion. when i saw that, when i saw that, i said, i always knew you were stupid. i didn't realize you were that stupid. you keep your mouth shut about it. there are documents. there is a paper trail.

there's a money trail. there is $1.5 billion from china. and this idiot is breaking about getting a guy thrown out, because he's got some kind of hero complex. it's the same as a couple of his other fantasies. i don't know what's wrong with him. this was a sellout of the vice president of the united states. if president trump had not pushed, he would not be a good president. >> sean: address this. you're the president's lawyer. >> rudy: he's no longer just a candidate. he's a vice president who had his family use his office to sell out america. he's a disgrace. >> sean: the president did not offer. >> rudy: the original story was that president trump told president zelinski, i'm not going to give you.

two days later, the false report, the false reporters and the line whistle-blowers. >> sean: second hand, blew back on them. >> rudy: no mention of $250 million. no quid pro quo. and then, on the other side, the president and his foreign minister has said that it was completely appropriate. there was no pressure. for any crime to be committed, the victim has to be -- >> sean: pressured. >> rudy: when i prosecuted extortion, one of the things i had to show was you felt threatened. if you didn't feel threatened, it doesn't matter. you have to be threatened. no crime, no wrongdoing. not only that, it would be interesting for him to not demand a full accounting of a

vice president taking down billions. republican or democrat, this makes him look like a small-time criminal. >> sean: thank you for being with us. join ns now, the author of "the new york times" number one best seller, 16 straight weeks on the list. i call him the great one host of life, liberty. by the way, he will have peter spicer for a full hour on the show. your take. >> my take is the biden family is corrupt. my take is that joe biden obstructed justice. you want to find obstruction. there was. my take is that he blackmailed that government to get that prosecutor removed. and not just to protect his son, but to protect his future running for president of the united states. and you have a massive democrat scandal here. that's why the media are conducting themselves the way they are.

that's why the democrats are trying to turn this insight out. they want to attack trump, but it won't work. you see, trump came into office a very, very rich man, and he'll leave office a very, very rich man. joe biden came in a very poor man. he left office a very rich man. look of the media have covered this. first, we heard that trump pressured ukrainian president to investigate joe and hunter biden and held up military aid. "the wall street journal" says, "well, not exactly." there was no quid pro quo. then, we get the whistle-blower complaint being withheld from congress. that's great. that takes us to impeachment territory. justice department and the dni say, "no." there is no whistle-blower. there some guy who heard something or read something but wasn't in on the president's conversation. by the way, i am sick and tired

of this president's conversation of foreign leaders been leaked to the media and democrats on capitol hill. our president has to be able to speak without this kind of tyranny taking place. now, ukraine, through their foreign minister, denies that trump pressured them. but it doesn't fit their narrative. now, let's take a look at what took place with biden. by the way, we need a special counsel. i have an idea. we should appoint a special counsel and make sure all the assistant special councils either donated to the trump campaign because only then will we have an honest investigation. make sure the issue of really thick report. that's what they ought to do. this is april 16th, 2014, hunter biden's business partner made a private visit for a meeting with the vice president biden.

five days later, biden landed for a series of high-level meetings with officials. soon thereafter, the u.s. and the international monetary fund funnels more than a billion dollars into the ukrainian economy. the next day, a public announcement that he had been asked to join the board. hunter biden has no background in energy, nor background and anything really, other than being the son of a vice president and other things of that sort. now, that's exhibit one. exhibit two. this is from the "washington examiner." john kerry's stepson. oh, it was precious to see him defending. after his business partner, hunter biden caught a deal with and oligarch owned ukrainian gas company in 2014, the one we just

mentioned. an email released to washington showed that biden's decision to joined the board sparked immediate concern with his inner circle about the political optics. biden's father, joe. we have our friend, john solomon. biden had made no mention of his son and his 2018 speech. hunter biden's report to the board. in other words, everybody knew it. now, i could go on and on and on. but here's the deal. here's my problem. do you know that the republicans controlled the senate? do you know that we control the intelligence committee? are you not chairman of the judiciary committee? then why aren't you issuing subpoenas like elijah cummings? why aren't you issuing subpoenas like jerry nadler and all the rest of them customer why aren't you getting to the bottom of this? you have real live corruption,

obstruction, blackmail. wait till we get to china. $1.5 billion. i don't care with the media thanks. see that over my shoulder? on freedom of the press. the truth shall set us free. i understand what the democrats are doing in the house. i understand. they want to destroy the president. they are using opposition research. they are trying to immunize biden. what's going on in the republican senate? subpoenas. under oath testimonies. why don't you issue subpoenas for the biden accounts like they do with trump? hunter biden, we can't touch hi him. but kushner and ivanka? they are free game? no. we should turn the script. here's the difference. biden is corrupt. trump is not. >> sean: and i'd like to know what did barack obama know about

all of this. sunday nights, full hour. life, liberty. peter peered up next, my exclusive interview. vice president pence weighs in on this very thing. biden, the family dealings, ukraine, china, and the controversy over the whistle-blower. ♪ to put on our website? i mean i would have but i'm a commercial vehicle so i don't have hands... or a camera...or a website. should we franchise? is the market ready for that? can we franchise? how do you do that? meg! oh meg! we should do that thing where you put the business cards in the fishbowl and somebody wins something. -meg: hi. i'm here for... i'm here for the evans' wedding. -we've got the cake in the back, so, yeah. -meg: thank you. -progressive knows small business makes big demands. -you're not gonna make it, you're not gonna make it! ask her if we can do her next wedding too! -so we'll design the insurance solution that fits your business. -on second thought, don't...ask that.

♪ >> sean: just sat down with vice president mike pence in new york to discuss all the controversy with the so-called whistle-blower. we talked a lot about it. also about president trump. here's what he had to say.

>> vice president pence: vice le thing. it's like manna from heaven. we are now discovering the whistle-blower, it was not first-hand knowledge. even the media is now reporting in some places that there was no quid pro quo. what can you tell us? >> vice president pence: here we go again. the worst media. takes one report, runs with it. democrats on capitol hill immediately start to denounce the president before anybody has the facts. but the president has been very clear on this. he made a congratulatory call to president zelinski, which was a landslide election. the president spoke to him about our concern, investing hundreds and millions of american dollars. president trump made it clear

that we've got to see reforms. we've got to see honesty in government. his congratulatory call was all about that. he mentioned vice president biden and his son and the context of us wanting to see honest government. that's exactly what the american taxpayer would expect. see when here you have, vice president biden bragging on tape, "you are not getting $1 million. you either fire the prosecutor. why would the vice president want to fire him? why would a vice president of the united states america want a ukrainian prosecutor fired? what conceivable reason would that be? >> vice president pence: it's really remarkable. everything that the media wants to assume of how the president's

phone call in july went. he admitted to, on camera, in january 2018, he said that when he was vice president of the united states, he had a quid pro quo. he he said to ukrainian officia, you will not get american aid unless you fire a prosecutor. >> sean: he's making a lot of money. apparently with no background. >> vice president pence: of the people deserve to know. to have a vice president threatening, that's the quid pro quo. as the president said in his conversation that everyone is very interested in now, his conversation with president zelinski, that he spoke about congratulations. he spoke about our support for the ukraine. he spoke about our concern about corruption. but there was no quid pro quo.

if people want to see a quid pro quo, they just want to see the tape of president biden. over $1 billion. >> sean: i would say blackmail. am i wrong on that? >> vice president pence: sean, i can tell you, this is a country that was overrun by russia. it's a country that is still at war. they still have, we believe, russian elements there. they are trying to literally tear the ukraine apart. for vice president biden, who refused to give military aid to ukraine, to threaten what remained of that aid unless they responded to his demands about firing a prosecutor, who among other things was investigating the company his son served on the board of, look, the american people just deserve to know the facts. what they can be confident of is that throughout this process that all of our administration,

the president's conversation, were all based upon proper considerations of how we support ukraine, how we support their efforts to end an era of corruption in their government and advance the interest of their sovereignty. the american people have a right to know what happened. they have a right to know what happened in 2016 and have a right to know what the circumstances were around having a sitting vice president threaten to withhold american aid. look, again, the ironic thing is that everything that our critics in the media are leveling at this president from this phone call. everything the democrats on capitol hill are running off and describing come of president joe biden bragged about, which is liquid pro quot.

>> sean: wouldn't help the president to release a transcript? >> vice president pence: that would be a decision for the president to make. conversations with leaders around the world that are candid, that are open. for leaders to be concerned in the future that a conversation that the president might make its way into the public, would undermine the ability of the president to have those discussions in the future. so another president would like to do it. i know he's looking at all the circumstances. but the american people can be confident that the president spoke about issues that are of interest to american taxpayers. there was no quid pro quo.

>> sean: was no quid pro quo. now tomorrow, we focus in on this very specific issue. we had a wide range of topics. we talked about the 2020 democrat. the escalating situation. how we dealt with iran. i asked him the one thing that maybe people don't know about president trump that he could tell us is vice president. as we continue. ♪ mance comes in lots of flavors. there's the amped-up, over-tuned, feeding-frenzy-of sheet-metal-kind. and then there's performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. that's the kind lincoln's about. ♪
