Cliven Bundy: ‘Whatever They Want to Throw at Me, I’m Ready to Take’

HANNITY: "All right, so Harry Reid says this, Cliven and then we gothis son saying it. And then the sheriff that I told you about last night, him saying that the feds say this is not over, and that, in fact, they might be plans to come back once things have calmed down completely. Are you hearing any of those things? And what's your reaction to it?"
CLIVEN: "Well, you know I can tell Harry and Harry's son that almost every law, almost every day, don't matter whether I walk out of my door, do something with my farm or water my cattle or drive up on my ranch, some federal law I'm breaking. I break laws almost every time Iturn around, every step I take. So Harry, you're right, your son, you're right. I do break federal laws evidently if they are really laws. But I do try to follow the state of Nevada laws, the sovereign state of Nevada laws I respect very much. The county laws, the county sheriff, I love them."
HANNITY: "Cliven, I've gotten to know you over the controversy. You and your family seem like really nice people. I am concerned that the federal government are concerned they look bad and as a result, they might want to make an example out of you. I would hate to see that happen if they try to stage an Elian Gonzalez-style raid, early morning, late at night, what is going to happen?"
CLIVEN: "Well, how can they be more blunt than they have already been? They have been hassling me in the courts for 20 years. They sent their army after me. Whatever they want to throw at me, I'm ready to take. I'm sure not scared of them, that's for sure. When you're ready, get your job done and get with it.
HANNITY: "You know, Ammon, when you really break this down, this is what it seems to be about to me. That your dad took his cattle, he thinks it's state land. They are claiming it's federal land and basically you're, these cattle ate federal grass and you didn't pay for it and they might have pooped on federal property. I mean, is that worth hundreds of agents, snipers and the Senate majority leader and his son saying that you ought to be arrested and put away for however long they want to put you away?"
AMMON: "Well, if you look at them trying to do this over and over and over again, all over the nation, and then getting away with doing this for many, many years, and then one family or one community stops it, then you think that it kind of puts in perspective. You start to say well, yeah, they do have to end this to continue to do what they are doing."
HANNITY: "How did they get to a million dollars in the amount of money they claim you owe. I would imagine the cattle would have to eat a lot of grass for a long period of time and the grazing fees, is most of that money because of, I guess, extra taxes or personalities and some of the court costs associated with all this?"
AMMON: "You know, I really don't know. It went from $300,000 to a million real quick, but what I do know, if you saw the amount of force and men on the ground over there, you would start to see what kind of payroll bill they have and rental bill and everything else, and the waste is tremendous. So you can start to see how the government can spend a million dollars really quick."
HANNITY: "Hey Briana, I want to ask how much they spent on this operation with the snipers and all these federal officials out there. Are you worried Briana about Cliven, about his sons, about your husband? Are you worried about what the federal government is capable of doing from this point forward?"
BRIANA: "No, I'm not. I know my family, and we're a family of faith and god and we know that what we're doing is right for the American people and we believe that the lord will protect us, and we saw that on Saturday and so did the rest of America."
HANNITY: "Cliven, last question. If they do come in the middle of the night, will you willingly go with them?"
CLIVEN: "That's a pretty good question. You know, if the county sheriff comes to arrest me, yes, I would go with him. These feds I don't recognize their jurisdiction or authority, so no, I wouldn't go with them."
