Amara and so you're in a -- -- -- there and it.

Well in a blogger was sentenced.

I was there was a sad day.

I -- what happen.

While.

There is a little bit of argument on both sides the -- and that -- Blagojevich got up and gave his his closing remarks.

He it really didn't accept responsibility.

For.

His.

It is.

Crimes if you well it was more like what I did was wrong.

Now I know was wrong the jury found that I was wrong by.

You know -- I am sorry did this to my children and I've been a big defender of Blagojevich but I didn't find his his Alex fusion very.

Very nice what do you soon.

What what do you mean what it GOP wants a judgment when we when I mean what else to do what he could wanted to do.

One what was it -- what is this important.

He is charged with lying to the -- BI he was charged with trying to sell the senate seat particularly hurting you know not on the telephone conversation.

Right right.

And then also holding up some funding for Children's Memorial Hospital.

And then trying to get money.

While he was holding up a race track -- here in Illinois.

So there are really only for crimes -- he was convicted.

Eighteen.

You were defending him on what basis.

Well I just feel like Chicago's -- really corrupt ways and if he had just done more pay to play.

And dot quid pro quo it probably would have been caught it seems like everybody here is involved and has their hands in the -- And he was just more -- for himself I think that's what the problem lies.

So you -- -- improper behavior.

-- reserve on the -- -- now they're defended him on the basis that everybody -- Chicago's or crook.

And attitude about not but -- defeated help other crooks and so they're just.

Vince agreed in all for himself -- cut in some -- Well judges they -- actually said that yesterday he said you know you're the ringleader and all of that's.

And nobody even your advisors in the lawyers they were gonna get no cut in -- it wasn't like you're trying to share some of this money -- -- this was all about yield.

So you know not the -- -- was saying the same thing but it is an interesting statement to make.

If he had tried to include everybody else -- you know it wouldn't be in this position.

Was it just -- appropriates.

Well I don't know he is a Republican I think he was appointed by Reagan so you know so I jumped fourteen years alone.

And it's -- time run.

It is federal time there was some discussion yesterday about possibly getting him into some kind of camp.

Because if you're always sentenced over ten years then you don't get minimum security.

So maybe they'll get have a special sentencing order -- -- goes to like play camp but Martha Stewart hurt our wherever.

Won't -- or she lies.

-- agricultural isn't one of them was elected to alternate browser you know joy and out of someplace.

Huntsville old -- way you know -- -- warrants and also -- -- our -- like a kitchen.

To read the Renault or is going.

I don't think so his sentencing is in February -- suspense -- time with his family for the holidays sickened by the children.

And that I think it'll be decided.

The document to -- wasn't tomorrow but not tomorrow -- camera -- camera camera hold one -- him.

-- loans are towards a lot of organized and better -- and we're gonna.

Now I -- second sound like Donald Trump and say everybody wants me everybody wants my endorsement -- wants to date -- but.

I just I don't have his confidence and.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And all says drills cardinal.

On for -- -- -- what really troubles -- results anyway on home.

Everything and you would have to find someone world's rules -- rule insulin.

Eric Holder.

-- -- There's gonna don't -- -- Judiciary Committee.

On this fast and very -- there whether -- visas you know they gave -- arms.

Of his Mexican thugs thank -- in the -- That it could Tracy arms to the larger remorse and -- war.

And one on the Rhonda well one of the -- want them Illinois Border Patrol agent and turns on the climate in -- about it you're gonna have to resign.

I don't I don't think so I it what I'd -- to see before everybody starts jumping up and down like they've been doing and it seems like it say.

It's a partisan issue with all these Republicans calling for his resignation.

Is let the facts play out I'm not saying that he's totally innocent and that he shouldn't resign but when this this first came out it was like everybody was screaming for him to leave.

And I I just -- like we're such.

Fire fast type of society relax people let's find out what's going on and most importantly.

There were thousands of weapons that -- placed in the hands of this cartel.

Let's find out only 700 have been found why isn't that a priority of of congress and and and everybody else.

We need to find these because more people could end up -- Because the first denied that it did -- to know of -- -- numbers -- national thing when.

Senator Grassley who ever was -- inquired about and they lied to him about and so.

So there -- -- -- all here.

Just because somebody an elected official inquires about some -- especially of the DOJ Arab Ani it administration and it doesn't mean to you absolutely have to give them all of the evidence again I'm not defending 100 -- slightly missed.

Misleading statement but he's not he at that point he was not being.

He was not under -- there is no congressional inquiry and that's why I think we just need to wait to see.

-- Albert.

I'm surprised you're able to -- law licensed.

I mean -- -- -- I -- don't -- -- -- how -- -- Hannity -- he accusing the united being a lawyer all on me in my beyond assumption.

Because said over to borrow when we're we were -- expect.

If our elected public officials like Grassley.

Asked the government official -- were -- monoline.

A question about some not to give us an honest answer I know that not obligated to -- tells us over the limit the vol vol -- lie to -- there.

But this was an ongoing investigation and it still is an ongoing investigation just like anything -- they -- at.

Adamant about -- now we're never give guns and butter wouldn't do that does well that's crazy -- -- mean.

They were adamant about denying them.

That that that that that -- -- lucked out an existence at some point.

Well I think we need to get to the bottom of this because there should be an order usually things like this require an order from the attorney general in south.

That's something like this can go on.

And based on my sources they say there should be an actual order there should have been a body of people.

That that approved -- best or recommended that before the order was signed.

So let's just go back to the basics here where -- the orders and where where the papers.

New -- another problem -- have been.

I have to go -- sort -- today -- doctor Wu Becker.

Insult ever since I mentioned -- earlier this morning.

-- much sort of starting to bother me mental in my voice trails horse.

And so I've been about a half flows into Euro.

Thinking about how bad my throat -- so I don't.

Akron not easy.

I don't know -- -- say that the Donald Trump I don't know Barney.

If you ever say something like that Donald -- that you were not his priority in your listening and of course thinking about your throat this it to look.
