If you want to be a part of this extravaganza and so much to get to today, I have in front of me a January twelfth New York Times piece headline, NSA gets more latitude to share intercepted communications.
It reads, in the final days of the Obama administration, they expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications.
In other words, SIG net, exactly the information that they used to leak and break the law and commit a felony, 18 U.S. Code 793 and the Espionage Act against General Flynn.
Anyway, they expanded it that they could share it with the government's sixteen other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.
Why didn't they do it the last eight years?
Why did they do it with while they're walking out the door?
Why was a trap set?
Why?
Was it purposefully designed so that other people would have access to intelligence so they could leak it?
Who leaked this intelligence?
Who violated the Espionage Act?
There's no doubt.
And by the way, the the insanity, how great was that press conference yesterday?
It was the greatest moment ever.
And the media doesn't get that.
So anyway, we're going to get to this story in the New York Times from January twelfth.
We're going to get to the big beatdown yesterday, which was incredible.
Uh I had a pretty amazing day yesterday, and I went to Washington.
I had meetings and that went very long, much longer than I thought they were going to be with a lot of people.
I interviewed the House Speaker Paul Ryan, and I interviewed the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
We aired a lot of it on TV tonight.
But I want to tell you about a new segment that I am beginning both here on radio and on television.
And I think you'll understand it as soon as I tell you what I'm calling it.
It's it's basically holding them accountable.
Meaning everybody.
This probably is the only opportunity.
You see the fierce opposition in the media, and you see the swamp is rising, and you see that it's getting louder and the blood is in the water, and they got General Flynn, and they don't care about the fact that you know we create a c police state when we can take we without any warrant whatsoever, we can go out there and tape anybody's phone calls, and then if we don't like them or like their point of view, we can just leak them.
You know, there's a whole process by which the espionage, there's protocol, there's laws, there's felonies.
There's very specific protocol if you're going to record somebody's conversation.
You know, and once, for example, let's say we I want the NSA to be spying.
I want the CIA to be spying.
That's what their job is.
In part, it's designed to keep all of us safe.
But we can't have rogue intelligence agents going out there linking information about individual citizens for political purposes and destroying their lives, which is what they did here with General Flynn.
And of course, that's the big story that nobody in the media's talked about.
I don't think besides talk radio, and besides the Fox News Channel, as anyone told you what 18 U.S. Code 793 or read to you what the espionage act is all about.
Now we'll get back into it.
We have Joe de Genova coming back on, and we have Jay Sekulo coming back on.
I don't think you realize how really serious this is, because if they can do it to General Flynn without a warrant, without a Pfizer court approval, then they can do it to anybody.
Once they, in the process of doing their job, in this particular case, they were doing their job.
They were monitoring a call.
It happened to be a Russian ambassador in this particular instance, and General Flynn was on the phone.
As soon as they recognize an American is talking in that conversation, there are laws and protocol that they're supposed to follow to minimize the recording of anything the American says.
Why?
Because they don't have a warrant.
It's illegal.
You know, some states have one consent record laws, others have two person consent, others have it, but there's none that has zero consent.
That's called the violation of the Constitution.
It's very simple.
How come the media doesn't care at all?
And you know, watching the news conference, they tried to make create an analogy here as it relates to Hillary Clinton's.
Well, you didn't mind you have no credibility on this issue.
Of course, the Clinton News Network was asking the question at the time.
You know that CNN actually put together, they think they're Saturday Night Live.
I put it on my Twitter page at Sean Hannity if you want to see it.
And maybe we'll put it up on the website.
They actually put together a montage of Donald Trump's hand movements during his epic takedown presser yesterday, and they put it to classical music.
I mean, your news network or you Saturday Night Live or your news network.
It's pretty pathetic.
I actually tweeted it out to Jim Acosta, who got more time yesterday than anybody, and he's the one that says you have no credibility because of the Hillary issue.
Hillary Clinton put her emails in jeopardy.
Why to circumvent congressional oversight in the Constitution and separation of powers and checks and balances?
She did it for entirely different reasons.
She created the vulnerability of by having a private server in a bathroom of a mom and pop shop company, and not only in the bathroom, but in the closet.
And this wasn't leaked by the government.
There's no evidence that the Russians leaked it either, although if you listen to the Clinton News Network or any of the other places, they will tell you definitively it was, just like they'll tell you definitively on MBC and Chuck Todd, oh, it's a religious litmus test.
None of these things are true.
It's amazing how corrupt they are.
The beat down yesterday was amazing.
I'm going to get to that in a minute.
So I'm in Washington yesterday, and um I I honestly had on my schedule to do the radio program.
I got to send out a special shout out.
Thank you to uh my buddy Mark Simone.
And uh I love Mark.
He's awesome.
Great guy, great host, doing tremendous work at our affiliate station here in New York.
And uh I literally got caught in these meetings, um, a lot of which I can't divulge right now.
I just can't.
And there were private meetings with people that you want to know the truth, it's me doing my job for you and finding and understanding a lot more about what's going on, and and sometimes it takes a long time to get to the bottom line of these things, and that was the case yesterday.
I'm not a meetings person.
I hate Linda.
Do I like meetings?
I hate meetings.
Linda comes into my office.
I really need to talk to you.
And I got 30 seconds.
Go.
What is it?
Or she says, we really need to have a meeting about this.
I said, No, we don't.
What's the problem?
Tell me now, I'll fix it.
I'm not a meetings person.
I like to sit in meetings.
Most boring thing in the world.
Okay, let's go.
Your turn to talk.
And then everyone thinks they're funny.
And everyone's telling jokes.
Everybody's wasting time.
But anyway, one of the things, part of the interview that I met with Paul Ryan about, I did a monologue on this radio program, and I did a similar one on television about how Republicans, it was unforgivable to me that they didn't have a consensus replacement plan for Obamacare.
It is just mind-numbing.
And since then we've heard, oh, there's nine plans, and we're going to put the nine plans together, and okay, whatever.
And I'm like, eight years this has gone by.
And then I've heard throughout the course of the debate just on Obamacare, well, we'll get it done in January.
We'll get it done right away, day one.
We'll get it done in the spring.
We're going to get it done in the summer.
We'll get it done sometime by the fall.
We'll get it done by the end of the year.
All of those things were said.
And then I really lost my you know what when I heard, oh, we're going to repair Obamacare.
Because that's not what the promise was.
So I do this very hard-hitting takedown of the Republicans, and they need to get their act together and get up with the speed of Trump and get off their ass and stop eating their lunches and do some work.
This is a this is the opportunity to stop to stop this precipitous decline in the country.
Here's what I care about.
I want my country safe and secure.
I want you to be able to get a job if you're one of the 95 million Americans out of work.
I want you to be able to get off the food stamp rolls if you're one of the 50 million Americans on food stamps.
And if you're one of the 50 million Americans in poverty, I want you to be able to get out of poverty, get a good job, live in a safe neighborhood, finally buy the house of your dreams, and raise your kids in a safe neighborhood, maybe go to dinner once in a while, maybe one vacation a year, Disneyland when your kids are seven or six or whatever, something.
And too many of our fellow Americans are suffering.
I want a border secure, I want to save from ISIS and radical Islamists.
It's not complicated what I want.
And I think everybody should want that.
Pursuit of happiness.
And everybody should have their fair shot at the American dream.
So Republicans got in trouble because they didn't keep their promise.
They voted all these phony votes, show votes to repeal and replace Obamacare, but they didn't even have a replacement plan ready.
And then when Ted Cruz stood out, put a stuck his neck out there, you know, he was excoriated by Republicans because he wanted to actually keep the promise.
And then we've got a situation now where then 2014 comes in.
Can you grab my bag over there?
And 2014 comes in, and what happens in 2014?
In 2014, they promised that they were going to stop the president's illegal unconstitutional immigration law.
Okay, well, they didn't do that either.
You know, it's it's unbelievable to me.
So, you know, I've been it's really amazing that we find ourselves in at this particular point in our history, and and I just want to hold these guys accountable.
I want them to serve you, the American people.
The news media is not gonna do it.
You know, then they're they're just not.
Anyway, I'm trying to pull this up on my phone, and I can't do it.
All right, I'll figure it out.
Um, they're just not gonna do it.
The news media in this country is corrupt.
The news media, you know, I'll give you an example.
First hundred days have been a disaster.
Chuck Todd and two other people write, and I'm like, okay, but they didn't include all of Trump's successes.
So when we come back, I had a series of questions for the speaker.
Does he support the Obama uh does he support the Trump agenda?
How fast, how expeditiously can we get it done?
Because I want to hold these guys accountable.
And hence the new hence the new segment.
Like they and I said to Paul Ryan, I said, here's the truth, here's the Trump agenda.
Extreme vetting, do you support it?
Building the wall, do you support it?
Neil Gorsuch and originalists, do you support him?
The economic plan, seven brackets to three.
Do you support it?
Do you support, you know, 15 to 20% corporate tax?
Do you support repatriation at a low rate being brought back into the country?
Do you support repeal and replacing?
Do you support energy independence?
Do you support, you know, education being sent back to the states?
And I asked you, he said yes.
I said, Well, why isn't it getting done?
Why didn't you have a bill ready?
Because and he gave an explanation.
I'll play it for you.
But the bottom line is I left feeling better.
I'm not gonna lie.
But I'm a Reagan guy.
I'm a trust but verify guy.
And I said, So if you come back, and if I come back in 200 days, he's giving me 200 days, and he said legislatively, all of this is going to be done.
And I said, okay, so the headline of this interview is that at the end of 200 days, you support the Trump agenda, and legislatively, everything you can do and needs to be done is going to be done.
And he said yes.
And he said he even built in some cushion time cushion room for himself.
That's why he made it 200 days.
And there are complicated side issues regarding repealing and replacing.
It's it's it is difficult.
And they do have a desire to pass two budgets.
And reconciliation, the way they passed Obamacare does complicate everything.
And for example, he wants a he'd rather have the 15% corporate tax cut, but it's got to be scored revenue neutral if you're going to use the reconciliation process.
Those are just the rules of the House and the Senate and the government.
So he faces real challenges here with all of this.
But I still want to know that they're going to get it done.
Because they didn't get it done in the last eight years.
They weren't fighting in the last eight years, and we've got a guy moving at the speed of Trump, and I want Congress to keep up with him.
I'm going to play this when we get back.
We'll also get into the NSA.
Why did the president President Obama pass that executive order, you know, what seventeen days before he left?
Amazing.
We'll talk about the intelligence, the laws that were broken.
We'll talk about the espionage act violation.
And of course, this beatdown media press conference yesterday.
We'll get to all of that.
And your calls, 800 941 Sean.
The forgotten man is forgotten no more.
This is The Sean Hannity Show.
Sit down.
Just because of the...
Just because of the attack of fake news and and uh attacking our network, I just want to ask you, sir.
I'm changing it from fake news, though.
Doesn't that underve?
Very fake news.
I know, but aren't you?
Go ahead.
Uh real news, Mr. President, real news.
And you're not related to our new uh I am not related, sir.
No.
I do like the sound of second cost, I must.
You know, I looked at that name.
I said, wait a minute, is there any relation there, Alex?
I'm sure you check that out.
No, I checked it.
I said they said, No, sir.
I said, do me a favor, go back and check the family tree.
You know what was so amazing about that press conference, and I don't think I've ever in my entire life seen anything quite like that.
It was a ma it was such an amaz it was funny, it was informative, it was hard-hitting, it was truthful, and it was a beat down.
And he even predicted, and this he had a very measured presidential tone the entire time.
Not mad if you guys look, if I do something wrong and everybody messes up, call me on it.
It's fine.
I'm not I'm not against negative news.
And what do we get?
He's unhinged.
He's insane.
He's out of his mind.
He's losing it.
After just 27 days in office, the Trump administration, which promised change, has delivered chaos.
I think there's a lot of confusion.
Um, there's a lack of detail, and really what we see from this administration and really this Congress so far is a lot of chaos and confusion.
Right.
After what can only be described as an afternoon and evening of confusion at the White House over the fate of General Michael Flynn, the National Security Advisor.
As a problem and a problem that would end up spinning out of control.
The media, of course, did not fire General Flynn.
President Trump did.
And what the media did do was reveal to the nation that General Flynn had lied to the country and to the Trump team, including Vice President Pence.
President Trump's enemies within the administration continue an unprecedented level of leaking for a presidency that is not yet two weeks old.
Hooray, as the result of the second shakeup in a week on that TV.
All right, you get the idea.
here.
You get the idea.
That's not what I saw.
I saw a president calmly very answer everybody's questions with a sense of humor.
And none of these people.
Did they go through their accomplishments in 30 days?
Federal agencies minimizing the burden of burden of Obamacare, promise made.
Promise kept.
You know, the streamlining, expediting, you know, infrastructure projects and approvals, suspending federal dollars for sanctuary cities, directing the government to build a border wall, promise kept, and acting the first step in extreme vetting, promise kept.
Creating new ethics to limit lobbying, promise kept, mandating the elimination of two regulations for every new regulation kept.
Uh indefinitely suspending the mortgage rate reduction for the Federal Housing Administration kept.
You know, federal agencies stop creating new regulations.
You know, going forward with the military rebuild, Dakota pipeline, XL pipeline, uh going forward with everything he said he would do with business, everything is in place to fulfill his economic plan, his health care plan, his energy plan, his immigration plan, his military plan, the VA plan, it's all in place.
They don't talk about it.
The intelligence leaked this, not the media.
Thank you.
What is the point of winning elections if these people do not do their job and keep their promises?
Why do we fight so hard?
Why are we so emotionally invested?
Why do we go to war and and after two long hard driving political years, we come up with everything that we wanted and not take advantage of the opportunity to stop the precipitous decline that this country is in?
Look, as I was saying in the last hour, and it's funny how people don't Linda, you say this all the time.
People don't really know me, especially media people.
I think it's they don't want to know me.
They don't want the facts.
They're always playing gotcha.
They want to portray everybody in the administration as Satan.
They want to portray anybody that any conservative is racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, misogynist.
I mean, I can't even remember everything that I'm supposed to hate.
If I hated this much, I couldn't get out of bed in the morning.
It would be debilitating.
I'd be halfway to being where Linda is.
I mean, well, you do have a pretty long list.
I'm sorry.
What did you just say?
I said, hi, how is your what are your plans for the weekend?
That's what I thought you said.
I'm trying to get your attention because you're not listening to me.
I am listening to you.
I am editing things for you.
Okay, but the more important thing is when I mentioned your name, you're supposed to listen.
And I did, and I'm sitting right here looking at your beautiful mug, which you care to bring to work today since you didn't show up yesterday.
Wow.
And how often has that happened in the eleven years that we've been together?
Yeah, okay.
This is called dead air talk.
Nodding your head and putting your finger at your head.
Let me think.
Let me think.
How many times has this happened?
Hmm.
I have to think hard.
Breaking news now.
Yeah, exactly.
Cheers.
How long is it?
How many times have I done that?
I don't know.
Five.
And didn't we have a radio studio set up for me?
Yeah, I wonder why we had all that together.
I mean, since I'm so distracted and hateful, I don't know how all that stuff is on standby.
Are you done patting yourself?
But what are we?
No, I'm not.
I actually had to get my other hand around.
Okay.
Now I'm not sure.
Patting yourself on the back.
All right.
But my point bigger point is what I want is simple.
Don't we all want a safe country?
Don't we all want to be safe and secure in our homes?
Don't we want to stop crime in Chicago and murder in Chicago?
Did we want to turn on the news again and hear another San Bernardino Pulse Nightclub in Orlando?
Do we want to hear about Chattanooga Fort Hood?
We want to watch the Boston Marathon bombing thing again.
No.
Normal people don't want that.
Normal people would do we want to do I want to read for another year's statistics, 96 million Americans out of the labor force, fifty-two million Americans in poverty and on food stamps.
No.
It's simple.
We need a safe country.
We need to protect ourselves.
We need the meanest, toughest military.
And you got a president that has done a lot.
I just went over all of his accomplishments, and yet the media portrayal of this is one of, well, this is nothing but chaos.
It's not chaos.
It's this is more in a month that he's gotten done and put in place the pieces to follow through on his promises.
So if we want to get to the point where Americans are off of food stamps out of poverty, if Americans are back to work, that we have safer neighborhoods, that people can get a home, drive a nice car, send their kids to good schools.
Well to get there, you gotta, if you get the power and you win the election, you've got to do what you promise.
Conservative principles will work.
What Donald Trump is laid out.
Originalism is good for the future of this country.
For the court.
Okay, promise kept.
Vetting refugees from countries that have connections to terror is just smart common sense.
Building a wall on the border to stop drugs and illegal immigrants and human trafficking and gangs and murder and everything else bad that's going on there and jobs being taken from Americans, that's a smart thing to do, too.
All this is smart.
Lowering the corporate tax rate to 15%.
So corporations build their factories and manufacturing centers here is smart.
Smart if you build them in Detroit, because you got more people out of work in Detroit, you'll have more labor that'll be ecstatic to get them back in the labor force.
Or Cleveland or Milwaukee or any struggling inner city.
If you tell multinational corporations to park trillions of dollars offshore, hey, bring it back here at a really low rate.
We're not going to tax you to death at 35%.
We'll do it at 10 or 7 or 5.
Bring your money here and please build your factories here.
And we're going to get rid of burdensome regulations.
75% of what's on the books now.
That's smart.
If you come up with a better plan for health care, so we don't bankrupt the country and don't have a top-down government penalizing you if you don't have their plan, and they don't even allow you to get a catastrophic plan, which for young people is the smartest plan to have because they're healthy.
It incentivizes a checkup every year, and God forbid you have a heart attack, you get in an accident, you get cancer, you're still covered.
Why do you have to pay a pay for a premium rate you're never going to use?
It's illegal to buy a catastrophic plan.
Because they wanted to fund the young and healthy, we're supposed to funnel their money to the old, the sick, and the dying.
Well, if we don't fix it, eventually we'll be like the National Health Services in Great Britain, and we'll be you know, well, what is your life expect?
Oh, ma'am, I'm sorry you broke your hip.
We can't replace it.
Uh you have now exceeded your life expectancy.
Go home and die.
You think I'm kidding?
I am not you're laughing.
I am not kidding.
That is reality, and that's truth.
So here's what I want to do, and I'm starting.
Today on radio and today on TV.
Holding them accountable.
From my perspective, this is our last shot to get accomplished those simple things that I think we all want and we all share, and and in spite of all the opposition, you could see the intensity.
They want Trump politically, politically, follow my words here, dead.
They want them done.
They want to stop them, impeach them, they want them out of the way.
But I want these promises kept because we'll have a better country.
So I went to Washington yesterday and I met with the Speaker of the House, and I've been very critical why these Republicans can't get their act together.
The president's moving at the speed of light, and they're so slow, and they didn't even have a consensus plan, so I'm holding him accountable.
This is going to be the first of many series.
Because for eight years you guys had a plan.
You you kept saying and promising you'll repeal, replace Obamacare.
And I guess what people want to know is when are these things going to get done?
We're exactly on the timeline that we designed for ourselves.
Obamacare is coming next.
The reason today, really.
Well, no, our bill is coming in March.
Right.
So the reason we're doing regulatory reform right now is we have a certain window of time where we can go back into the Obama administration and cancel their regulations.
It's a law called the Congressional Review Act, and it has a shelf life for just a couple of months.
And so we've been consuming February and March as regulatory reform going back into the Obama administration and canceling their regulations.
And so, first it's regulatory reform because we have this window of time to cancel bad Obama regulations, then we're doing Obamacare.
After we're done with Obamacare, then we're doing our budget.
And our budget is what the second budget, which will be tax reform.
So we're doing two budgets in one year, which has never been done before.
This is faster than has ever been done before.
So you have to understand there's there's a there's a legislative process, and we have all of these things we ran on that we said we would do.
We're now in the middle of doing those things.
And January and February is the regulatory stuff because the clock on the ability to go after Obama regulations ends soon.
Because I heard everything from Obamacare will be done day one to the spring to the summer to the By the end of the year.
And so it's been all over the map.
Not just from you, but from other people.
I also heard people say it hasn't been all over the map from us, from me.
Well, members of Congress for the press.
It's been all over the map from from rumor mills, but from us here in Congress, we're exactly on the timeline that we laid out for ourselves.
When I heard repair, my head nearly exploded.
That's not the plan.
The plan is repeat, repeal, and replace this law.
Like we said, we ran on a plan to repeal and replace it.
Tom Price helped write that plan.
He is now Donald Trump's Secretary of Justice.
It is a consensus plan that's now being scored by the CBO.
Correct.
I just listed his agenda, what he ran on for the forgotten men and women.
Correct.
That voted for him.
Do you switch just to me get like again?
That's the agenda we're working on right now.
That's the item that I mentioned that you disagree with.
No, not at all.
In the 2000s, you're saying to the American people and conservatives that are impatient, including myself.
And you heard my monologue.
I would love to do this yesterday.
But getting Congress to act on all those things you just said in just in one year's time, unprecedented.
This we do these things.
This will be the most productive presidency in Congress in our lifetimes.
That's my question.
You agree with every item I mentioned, even extreme vetting.
Yeah.
We passed that bill a year ago in the House.
I don't now agree with building the wall.
Yes.
You have slightly by the way, I did back then too.
That wasn't that wasn't the plan that the House Republicans ran on.
That was in Donald Trump's plan.
It was supposed to be done in 06.
It's actually a bill I voted for in 2006.
But the problem we had since 2006 was Barack Obama was our president.
Now we have a president who's actually serious about securing the border.
Here's my headline of this interview.
That you're in pretty much full agreement with what Donald Trump ran on.
Yes.
And number two, in 200 days from the legislative slot side, you are going to be implementing every aspect of that agenda that we talked about.
Yep, and and just to big headline.
And we have and we have cushion in our schedule.
If if anything slips because it's really gonna get because of Senate issues, we still have time to accommodate all of this stuff in 2017.
So I even have safety veils.
I have cushions built in the schedule to make sure this all gets done in 2017.
Because I believe it's a good idea.
I'm pretty sure that'll stimulate the economy, get people back to work and get the economy moving again, which I think we need what we're hired to do.
All right, Mr. Speaker, you see it 200 days.
All right, that's holding them accountable.
I'm gonna do this a little bit tonight on Hannity on the on the Fox News channel.
Now, I went in there kind of pissed off.
I'm not gonna lie.
I mean, I'm I I don't fake it here on this program.
I was not I'm not happy that they weren't prepared.
Not happy in the interim period between election day and the inauguration that this plan wasn't done.
I I learned a lot that I had to know uh it's not really being reported that they have are having a consensus plan scored.
You know, I understand I have look, I can tell you in all its intricacies, the difficulties about health care, and on you know, there's a lot to do on the regulatory front, every regulation put forward does it you know Tom Price addressed uh Congress today.
He made clear the president wants repeal and replace, he wants it done expeditiously.
He said, let's not miss this opportunity, let's go shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm.
And he went through all of you know the two reviewed 2015 reconciliation bill and how they have to use that and it has to score with the CBO and it has to be revenue neutral.
There are real problems that they've got to face here.
Look, they're now plowing ahead with it.
And they're and in fairness to them, I gotta be fair.
In fairness to them, there are deep obstacles, bureaucratic crap obstacles that get in the way.
And Democrats are no help whatsoever because we you know we keep getting distracted every day, and everyone's spending half their time doing everything rather than focus on making these things better.
Now I know that Rand Paul and Mark Sanford, they put out a plan as well.
We've had Rand Paul on talking about it.
I like his idea a lot.
I like the fact that he talked about zero baseline budgeting, meaning no increases built in every year.
I like the fact that he agreed with the president on vetting.
He agreed on the originalism, he agreed on.
He said to me, I said, Well, you supported 20 percent corporate tax.
I go, no.
The reason I said 20 is because we had it scored as revenue neutral.
I'd prefer fifteen if we can get it scored as revenue neutral and and lowering the tax.
I said, okay, now it makes sense.
I understand.
I so I'm giving Him a lot of credit here.
Now, on the downside, I'm also hearing, hey, you guys are not communicating very well, because I follow this news as close as anybody.
And you're telling me things in this interview that I didn't know.
Supporting the wall.
Education's gonna be a little later.
Okay, fine.
Tell us that.
The energy, independence, he's all over it.
Health care, repeal, replace.
Yes, we not repair.
Okay, all over it.
So I'm gonna do this tonight on TV too.
Because there's no point in fighting and winning elections if we don't get the job done.
And we don't make the country a better place.
The best thing privately that Donald Trump has ever said to me, I'll share with you, and I I know I don't think he'd get mad.
If he gets mad, he'll get over it.
It's well, I'm just being honest.
He said to me, I I've got to do a good job for the American people.
I made them promises.
And he said it just like that.
Not the pro he's not a perfect person.
He's gonna make mistakes.
The media's gonna, you know, smell blood in the water a hundred times a week now, I guess.
But he said that.
So that's where my head is at.
And these guys, we don't have a second chance here.
This is our moment.
Do your job, get the bills done, keep your promises.
You're giving us a 200-day window.
And I am going back in 200 days.
And I am going to hold them accountable.
You know, and I'd like to get some other answers too.
How is it that eight years that it you couldn't share Signet information, the likes of which where they got Michael Flynn?
How come Obama with 17 days to go?
17 days to go change the rules that this information intercepted personal communications could be shared with 16 other agencies?
Was that so they would be able to organize leaking like we're seeing?
This is a shadow government of Obama?
Is this the tentacles of Obama reaching into the Obama uh the Trump administration to sabotage him?
We're gonna get to that when we get back, and then we'll have more on this great press conference from yesterday.
All of this is on Hannity tonight 10 Eastern.
Bold inspired solutions for America.
Sean Hannity is on the roll along,
news roundup information overload coming up in the next hour.
Why did the president, then President Obama, with just 17 days left in his presidency, pass an executive action that allows the national security, he didn't allow it the entire eight years he's president to share these intercepted personal communications like they did with General Flynn with the government's sixteen other intelligence agencies.
Why would they do that for any other reason but to sabotage the incoming administration and potentially damage anybody they want at any time?
This is a pretty frightening thing.
Mike Flynn is a fine person.
And I asked for his resignation.
He respectfully gave it.
He is a man who uh there was a certain amount of information given to Vice President Pence who's with us today.
And I was not happy with the way that information was given.
Uh he didn't have to do that because what he did wasn't wrong, what he did in terms of the information he saw.
What was wrong was the way that other people, including yourselves in this room, were given that information.
Because that was classified information that was given illegally.
That's the real problem.
And you know, you can talk all you want about Russia, which is all a you know, fake news fabricated deal to try and make up for the loss of the Democrats and the plus press plays right into it.
Uh in fact, I saw a couple of the people that were supposedly involved with all of this, but they know nothing about it.
They weren't in Russia, they never made a phone call to Russia, they never received a phone call.
It's all fake news.
It's all fake news.
All fake news, and the president is a thousand percent right.
You know what's here, I guarantee you haven't heard because all this narrative of the Russians, the Russians, the Russians, the Russians, the Russians.
Well, this was his job.
I was so glad to hear the President say what I've been saying.
This if you're an incoming national security advisor, your job is to reach out to your counterpart.
You don't wait wait till you get sworn in.
Your job is to establish a rapport so you can hit the ground running when you start serving the American people.
That is a reasonable thing to do.
The President was not shy saying that he had disagreements with President Obama's actions against Russia, which were punitive and meant to advance an agenda of the impact of the election when there's zero evidence that in fact they have but they keep repeating the same lie.
Just like they keep saying seven countries the ban is a Muslim ban, and they ignore the fact that ninety percent of the world's Muslims are not included in the ban.
It is a lie.
You know, it's it's all propaganda.
That's why I call alt left propaganda media.
They're radical left, they're lazy, they advance false narratives, they tell outright lies, just like Chucky Todd saying it's a religious litmus test.
No, it's not a real it's a terrorist test.
If your country has deep ties to terror, then we're gonna vet you before we invite you into our country and and allow you to be in in our family and around our family members.
Look at it that way.
What you haven't heard from the media is that the FBI is not pursuing any criminal investigation involving General Flynn's phone call.
So with all the hype and all that we ha have been hearing now for the entire week you know it's the screaming headlines, the breathlessness is all undercut by the fact that there's no evidence has never been evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence.
It's never been found nor has it ever been found that any election any single vote was impacted in any way.
But there is a bigger story.
We have a daily caller piece out ex spies say Obama loyalists in the Intel community are out to topple Trump.
Now I have sources within law enforcement and elsewhere that are very clear to me.
They're getting close to finding out who these people are that have been leaking this intelligence.
And we do have an act that's called the Espionage Act and it's very clear what it says whoever for the purpose of obtaining information respecting the national defense with intent or reason to believe that information is being used to the injury of the United States.
Well it was used specifically to injure G General Flynn and we have specific laws preventing that number one or to the advantage of any foreign nation etc etc the espionage act deals with this in its sp all specificity eighteen U.S. code seven ninety three read it anyway here to help us sort through all of this Joe Joe uh Genova is with us founding partner of the firm de Genova and Tunsing and Jay Seculow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice.
Guys welcome back do you do either of you disagree with anything that I've just said.
Absolutely not you got it right exactly correct.
Yeah Joe?
No disagreement here.
Okay so now the question is my sources tell me it's not going to be as hard as we may think to find the people that are likely to have leaked this your reaction Joe to Geneva.
Well there's no question that the given the limited number of people with access to transcript uh of intercepts of foreign intelligence surveillance act phone calls that the universe of suspects is very very small compared to the usual leak investigation.
So that uh within a relatively short period of time with the issuance of grand jury subpoenas and FBI inquiry letters you could get the number down to fifteen or twenty uh people then are interviewed and if they lie to the FBI that's a felony or if they tell the truth you begin to find out how it all got out.
This is not a complicated case because of the limited number of people with access to this type of signals intelligence, which is the most sensitive type of intelligence other than human intelligence, which the United States government possesses.
The leaks of this information are so stunning and so bold and so devoid of any public interest whatsoever that I was delighted to hear the president say that he had called the Justice Department and asked them to conduct a criminal investigation.
This is the stuff that...
overdue.
This is the stuff of a police state because what they did, Jay Seculo tell me what I'm wrong, is my reading of the espionage act.
If an American, they were not targeting General Flynn in this in this wiretap.
There's no warrant to do what they did here.
But they got the intelligence and it's always been the highest level of protection, and very few people are supposed to have access to it, and they're also supposed to stop the recording when they know the American is speaking.
Is that not wrong?
Is that not right?
Right.
That's called minimization, and that was a procedure evidently in this situation that uh evidently was not followed.
Here's another aspect of this, Sean, that relates to it.
In the waning days of the Obama administration on January third of twenty seventeen, Loretta Lynch signed off on a procedure for the availability or dissemination of raw signal intelligence information by the National Security Agency.
It was signed also by James Clapper on December 15th, 2016.
Loretta Lynch signed off on it on 2017 on January 3rd.
Seventeen days later, a new president is put in.
For eight years, the Obama administration did not in any way change NSA information being uh the way it was handled.
It was g the NSA raw data was given to the NSA.
The NSA made the determination as to where it went.
The president, in the last moments of his presidency, as he's leaving office, locking the doors, shutting off the lights, changes the rule and provides a procedure that allows sixteen agencies to have access to that data, which then of course provides more leak capability.
Still I agree with you and Joe, still limited, but it increased it sixteen fold, and that happened with literally two and a half weeks to go to the Obama administration.
So this we uncovered a few days ago.
This was a a rule change that the Obama administration made.
I talked about this because it was covered by the New York Times at the time.
All right.
So I I found the exact same thing that you did.
That would mean that then with seventeen days to go, they opened it up that SIGNIT information that is obtained that would normally go to a very limited number of people could potentially go to what, sixteen agencies?
Exactly sixteen agencies.
So it increases the pool.
Now, again, the attorney general with the subpoenas and a grand jury and panel can get to the bottom of this really quickly, and I was very glad to see the president uh say he was going to do that as well.
The crime here are those that engaged in the leak.
It's a violation of Section 793, it's a felony, it's serious, and that needs to be the focus, and it needs to be focused quickly.
And I changed this NSA sharing executive order.
Um I changed it immediately if I was the president.
I would too.
I think that's really, really important.
And I think do you know the exact number of it?
Yeah, it's uh the it's it's an exec it's section the the executive order modifies is twelve three three, and this document is two four seven six six eight zero.
That is the actual I'm holding the document in my hand.
It's about uh twenty-five pages.
Okay, that's really important.
So Joe, what is your take?
Did Obama then therefore purposely set a trap that this type of intelligence leaking can happen?
Well, what we would really have to know what the purpose of this was, given the sensitivity of this information.
Uh something like this being done at the very last minute as the president exits exits is highly questionable.
Uh usually with this type of information, you want to keep it as closely held as possible.
Changing the standard to make it available, not necessarily actually distributed, but making it technically available to sixteen additional agencies is mind-boggling.
Uh it flies in the face of all known restrictions on the availability of this type of sensitive information.
Um and and as Jay said, even though this increases the universe of people who might have access to the intercepted phone calls, nonetheless, uh as I said, with grand jury subpoenas and a singular purpose uh to find out who had access, and then you simply start interviewing them.
Very few of these people are ever going to lie about whether or not they spoke to a reporter or an un authorized person about this.
And if they do, it's another crime.
So I I I think it I think the question about why President Obama did this as he was leaving is perhaps more important than than any other question at all.
What was the purpose for this?
What is the underlying public policy reason that the it that you increase the number of distributees of something so highly sensitive?
And they did it, Joe, and they did this with for eight years they didn't bother to do this.
They do this as they're walking out the door.
It's as almost as if as they have in England, like they've set up a shadow government here, so more people can get more loyalists to the Obama administration can get access to information.
Well, I think the word shadow government is right, but it's also uh to me, Joe, it seems like they purposely he designed this for the very purpose of doing exactly what we see unfolding.
Well, I think it's pretty clear that there's a coup d'etat underway by a group of civil servants who are either still in the administration in in government or have left recently and have connections with people still in government.
There probably is some sharing of information with current employees with former employees.
You certainly would interview John Brennan, you would interview Ben Rhodes, you would interview Sally Yates, you would interview a series of other people who were their deputies who might very well have spoken with those three principals about this.
There just isn't any question that the onslaught of disclosures of classified information since the election has been staggering, and it clearly points to a criminal conspiracy to violate the espionage laws.
I call it necessary a soft coup.
That's what it is, a soft coup.
You're saying basically the president You're saying basically the President of the United States did this by pr on by design for the very purpose of of tripping up and leaking information and probably conspired with other people to do it, or ha is winking.
What's what other explanation is there?
I mean, he does this on the seventeenth this is on the third the third of January.
He's got seventeen days left in his administration.
Why didn't they do this the last eight years if they thought this was such a great idea?
Why did they do it with seventeen days left to go?
Two and a half weeks.
I'd like to ask the President of the United States, put him under oath and ask him that question.
Hang on, both of you hang on there.
We got one more segment we've got to do.
Hang on one second.
Joe de Genova, Jay Secular, we'll get back to this uh in just a second here.
On the other side, we've got a lot of your calls coming in and the media hysteria after what was the biggest beatdown I've ever seen in my life, Joe Konchack said.
Stay up to date with the latest news and expert opinions as Donald Trump takes office.
Stick right here with The Sean Hannity Show.
I'm gonna get to those leakers, Mr. President.
We're gonna find the leakers.
We're gonna find the leakers.
They're gonna pay a big price for leaking.
All right, that was President Trump responding to the fact that the intelligence keeps leaking against him, and we continue with Jay Seculow and Joe DeGenova.
And look, I mean, if this is what seventeen days before the transition of power that this trap is set, where this Signet information, which never gets leaked out, it tells me that the President did it by design.
Does that make him part of a conspiracy?
Meaning President Obama, former president.
Well, I can tell you this the suspicion that one would have about why this was done is not irrational.
It's an important question to ask.
Why, at the end of eight years when it was not thought to be so important, and when there is publicity about an alleged relationship between the Trump some can Trump campaign officials and the Russian government, why would this change be made?
Because remember, they knew at that point when they signed this order that there were intercepts allegedly of people that were involved, including Flynn.
And I would think that the prosecutors investigating this case would want to interview all of the people responsible for this change in the executive order and the distribution of this signals intelligence and find out why it was done.
Yeah, and I think what we're gonna do, Sean, is we're gonna file a Freedom of Information Act request, not to get to the intelligence, that would be privileged, but to get to the process of what was the lead up to all of this discussion.
In other words, how'd they decide to do this on January third?
There is no reasonable explanation that would put such a significant change in place, literally in the waning hours of a presidency.
They could have done this for eight years, but they thought this was so important to get this raw data, and it's the raw data and t intel, the singtel, to these sixteen other agencies.
Why now?
Why did you do it?
And I think those questions have to be asked.
Which Joe said is right.
I would ask Ben Rhodes, I would ask Sally Yates, the acting attorney general.
I would go through the list of this leadership and find out what happened here, who authorized this, and uh impaneling a grand jury subpoenas on the whole leak information, this can be incorporated into all that.
But But by the way, Sean, you should know that we have been told there are people at the CIA who actually know who and the number I I have been given a set number of people who were leaking information to the press prior to the election and after the election.
Uh there are people inside the agency who are sharing this information with outside people and are willing to talk to people in law enforcement.
If we don't get to the bottom of this, you're right, both of you, anybody is really subject to this type of leak because they're capable of spying on anybody, right?
Absolutely.
And and they gave him the roadmap to do it.
Unbelievable.
Right.
And it's the equivalent of a political assassination.
It is extremely dangerous.
I think what Jay has said is really important here.
Why was this done?
What was so important to have this done at the waning hours of this administration that they couldn't have done it over eight years?
It just smacks of political intrigue and of trying to make it easier to cover up the leaks.
If you increase the number of people that have been making it more difficult.
Well, extremely more it was it may have very well been done for that very reason.
You know what?
And if they were really smart, they might have just handed it out by person.
They might have just passed it on anonymously and not over the internet.
That's a possibility, too.
Then you have to figure out who printed it out.
All right, I gotta go.
You guys are the best.
Thank you both, Joe Jenova, Jay Seculow.
When we come back, all right, the media beat down of the century yesterday, and now the media's just doubled down on trying to take the president out any way they can.
That's next to the President.
After just twenty-seven days in office, the Trump administration, which promised change, has delivered chaos.
I think there's a lot of confusion.
Um there's a lack of detail, and really what we've seen from this administration and really this Congress so far is a lot of chaos and confusion.
after what can only be described as an afternoon and evening of confusion at the white house over the fate of general michael flynn the national security advisor been talking about michael flynn since he was chosen for this job as a problem And a problem that would end up spinning out of control.
The media, of course, did not fire General Flynn.
President Trump did.
And what the media did do was reveal to the nation that General Flynn had lied to the country and to the Trump team, including Vice President Pence, President Trump's enemies within the administration continue an unprecedented level of leaking for a presidency that is not yet two weeks old.
Trump's quote transition operation was has plunged into disarray as a result of the second shake up in a week on that team that has not yet begun to execute the daunting task of taking over the government.
Now they'll take this news conference.
I'm actually having a very good time, okay?
But they'll take this news conference.
Don't forget, that's the way I won.
Remember, I used to give you a news conference every time I made a speech, which was like every day.
Okay?
No, it's that's how I won.
I won with news conference and probably speeches.
I certainly didn't win by people listening to you people, that's for sure.
But I am having a good time.
Tomorrow they will say Donald Trump rants and raves at the press.
I'm not ranting and raving.
I'm just telling you, you know, you're dishonest people.
But but I'm not ranting and raving.
I love this.
I'm having a good time doing it.
But tomorrow the headlines are going to be Donald Trump rants and rant.
I'm not ranting and ranting.
He wasn't ranting and raving.
He was measured, he was straightforward, he was direct, and he was also right.
And they hate him for it.
And you know, I watched the coverage about all of this, and I gotta tell you something.
All they did was double down on stupid in a hundred different ways.
There's such a a lack of self-awareness introspection.
These guys have no awareness.
What's happening is a lot deeper than I think what most people understand here.
The media, they're in a full panic.
After Wiki leaks in the election, they've been exposed.
The president keeps pointing out time and time again.
I'll give you the latest example.
The the AP botching National Guard called in to round up illegal immigrants.
That's just not true.
Was never true.
A religious test, not true, was never true.
Russian influencing the election story, there's never been a single iota of evidence in any way by anybody that proved that point.
That's not true.
And you have to ask yourself, well, why Is this happening here?
Why are we at this point?
And you know, I think if you look at, you know, where's where's the media?
Well, they have the Donald Trump has much higher numbers than him.
They are at an all-time low in terms of what their approval rating is.
They arrogantly think that they are the estate.
Now, maybe Donald Trump's running a big risk here.
You know, because by creating the the atmosphere that the Flynn incident was blood in the water, and and all of a sudden all of the the 49% of Americans that voted for Hillary, they think they have blood in the water.
They're not going to stop.
They are dedicated, committed leftists.
They have an ideology and they have an agenda.
And that's why I keep saying they're lazy.
These people they're not working hard.
I'll give you an example.
The MRC.
There was 18 times more coverage on a White House versus the intelligence leaks.
18 18 times more coverage.
If it wasn't for us, I don't think you'd know that.
I don't think you'd know about the espionage act.
I don't think, you know, the story that I had now referred to.
I don't think you would know that 17 days before leaving the presidency.
How is it that the Obama administration felt it was so imperative to expand the power of the National Security Agency to take these intercepted Signet personal communications?
Even though when they know it's an American on the line, they're supposed to stop recording.
They're supposed to do what's called a process called minimizing.
And um yet these sixteen intelligence agencies now have access to it, but they never had access to it beforehand.
Well, that increases the pool dramatically of people that potentially could have leaked this information.
And it makes it that much harder.
So the question is, well, why did Obama do it?
Is it sabotage?
Did Obama want to run a shadow government, as some articles have suggested?
Is Obama colluding with others to leak information that they deem as damaging or distracting to Donald Trump so he can't get his agenda complete?
Is it because they knew General Flynn was was deeply committed to getting rid of the Iranian deal and they feared him and needed to take him out?
Okay, well, if you're gonna let the government do that, well, who's next?
Who are we going after next?
Whose calls that are recorded are we gonna go after next?
By the government.
Me?
You're putting Ethan's pointing at me.
Well, that's what they do.
Is that what that would be a police state?
That would be a government police state.
If we're going to record innocent people, no suspicion whatsoever, and then leak the intelligence, which should be highly classified and protected to individuals.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
I mean, look at what the FBI did to Martin Luther King Jr., for example.
Frank, it's pretty disgraceful.
Remember that letter I tweeted it out on Martin Luther King Jr.'s holiday on the birthday, the holiday we we celebrate.
And in that, he was basically told to kill himself.
Scary.
Government at that level is scary.
I watched, you may not like Malcolm X. Uh certainly his life is pretty fascinating.
And if you haven't studied Malcolm X, you should.
And, you know, well, yeah, he did say blue-eyed devils and all this other crazy nonsense.
Chickens have come home to roost after assassination.
All of that's all true.
But then he changed and separated himself from separated himself from the nation of Islam and started speaking out on his own.
Anyway, here to win more on this is Joe Concha.
He's with the Hill, and he's probably the only honest media reporter in the country, and as much as he is not obsessed with, you know, following the rabbit that the Greyhounds are following around the track.
How are you?
How's it going, Sean?
Eighteen times more coverage of the crisis at the White House versus the danger of SIG netelligence leaks, which are a violation of the espionage act and a felony punishable by jail and a fine.
Because that's the juicy narrative, and that's one that takes down that is negative towards Donald Trump.
And it's exactly what he talked about yesterday, Sean, where he talked about an anger in the coverage, uh in the tone, how horrible it is.
And it's true.
I mean, you look at the reactions yesterday where people are uh calling anchors, not even pundits like you uh calling him unhinged, uh saying it's a bitching session, all these things.
Uh it just shows you that he exactly proved the right point yesterday that anything negative towards Trump is gonna get a big play, and anything else that's important, like what you just mentioned as far as leaks, gets hidden under the rug and left it's on Fox.
I don't even think that they covered it at all.
And I then that's the amazing thing to me.
It's you know, here it is.
Where does this intelligence come from?
And then they make a false comparison.
Well, Donald Trump didn't mind WikiLeaks releasing information because it was damaging to Hillary Clinton.
That's not the government doing that.
This is our government intercepting phone calls, violating the espionage act, not following protocol and practice in the law as it relates to minimizing as soon as they identify an American citizen on the phone call with the person that they've targeted for for listening, meaning a foreign operative in this particular case, a Russian ambassador.
And they didn't minimize it.
Not only that, they got the information, then they leaked it out because they didn't like him and they wanted to damage him.
I was surprised at that question, Sean, that you just mentioned it was from Jim Acosta CNN, where he said you have very little credibility on this issue because you asked for WikiLeaks to release Hillary Clinton's emails.
Uh, but uh, you know, you're you're all against the leaks.
As you those are two completely different apples and orange is things.
John Podesta's personal email getting hacked doesn't have classified information on it.
It has John Podesta showing that media members are colluding with the Clinton.
It's crazy that question was answered.
Ask that way.
Well, I I again it's a certain shallowness.
I always say the media's lazy.
You hear me say this.
You hear me say journalism is dead and buried, and they're not only lazy but they're agenda-driven, and WikiLeaks proved all of that because they were discovered to have colluded with the Clinton campaign.
And I I look at that kind of question, but it was Hillary that created her own vulnerability.
It wasn't the government.
It wasn't either the CIA or the national or national security advisors, or it wasn't the FBI, whoever did it leaking the information.
What did you think of this story in the New York Times?
This goes back to January twelfth of this year, that in the final seventeen days of the administration, that the Obama administration expanded the power through executive orders of the NSA, signed off by Loretta Lynch and others to take the Signet intercepted personal communications, and now for eight years they never allowed it to be shared with sixteen other intelligence agencies, but now they're allowing them to do it.
Why would Obama do that?
Why would he do that?
It's a set of trap, obviously, for the next administration, and that should be front page news.
And I don't hear almost anybody talking about it.
I see instead unsourced stories about whether Donald Trump wears a bathrobe uh and wanders around the White House at night while his cabinet works in the dark because they don't know how to work light switches.
That was in the New York Times.
That made the front page completely unsourced, completely unnamed sources.
And look at today, Sean, with with this this whole leaked memo, right?
Uh that that the AP put to put out as far as a hundred thousand National Guard troops are going to start raiding homes and and uh uh against uh aliens and sending them back to their their country.
It was so irresponsible.
They didn't even try to get comment from the White House.
They said they did, but why'd they have to rush it out?
Why not make sure you get comment from a Sean Spicer or somebody to say if that document is real?
And it turns out that document could have been a proposal from a hundred different people that wasn't signed off by anybody.
It's lazy.
It's not only lazy, it's a rush to be first instead of accurate.
And that's the whole problem, Sean, because that gets more clicks when you get something out first.
Screw the fact that it had uh that something like that has no credibility or integrity, let's just get it out, we'll get our ad revenue.
If we're wrong, well, who cares?
We're just gonna move on because everybody has ADD anyway.
Uh and unfortunately there's some truth to that.
And now they they got their first trophy, and that was General Flynn.
Who's next?
Boy, I mean, they try to get uh Betsy DeVosch, they were able to pass her.
Who's next?
Boy, they But isn't the real target if it they can't get the president impeached, at least they want to stop his agenda.
I'll give you the last word.
Okay, and they're not stopping his agenda because the biggest news story yesterday, Sean, was the fact that the uh C A L CIO president, Richard Trumpka, who you know well, uh gave a very strong endorsement, not endorsement, but he said that Alexander Acosta, the labor secretary, deserves strong consideration.
Everybody's missing that story, Sean.
The fact that unions are starting to back Donald Trump, James Hoppe Jr. said the same thing when TPP was uh torn up, and that blue wall in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, is going to become a red wall if Donald Trump continues to save jobs there, keep companies from leaving, tearing up TPP.
If he gets unions behind him, it's lights out for the Democrats in 2020 because if they can't get those states, they can't win.
Well, said Joe Conscia from the Hill, thank you.
800 941 Sean, toll-free telephone Number news roundup and information overload uh hour coming up at the top of the hour.
We'll get a lot of your calls in as well.
800 941 Sean, and my interview with Bibi Netanyahu is coming up.
Hannity knows you're tired of government overreach and big brother watching your every move.
Now it's time to take back America.
This is the Hannity Show.
This is the Hannity Show.
I think there's a change, and the change is coming because of the rise of radical Islam.
Radical Islamist has two fountainheads.
One is uh the radical Sunnis led by ISIS, and before that by Al Qaeda, and the radical Shiites led by Iran.
The Arab countries are threatened by both.
And when they look around and they say, well, who's who's going to help us against these twin threats?
And they say, well, there's one country in the region that's powerful, that's determined, that's resolved to fight this common enemy, and that's Israel.
So they don't view us anymore as their enemy, but increasingly they see us as their ally against the common threat.
In the great alliance between Israel and the United States, we've had our differences.
We also had, and I got to give credit to President Obama.
We had this memorandum of understanding, you know, of uh 10 year support for Israel.
I appreciate that.
Uh but we also had our differences, and the most important difference uh was on Iran.
Uh the Arab countries sort of whispered things in the dark, you know, they wouldn't say it outright.
I had to sort of speak out for everyone in the region.
Uh but right now I think it's not merely in the region.
People understand that Iran is uh is a malevolent force, and the nuclear deal with Iran, uh, if it's kept, the Iranians just walk in.
The deal essentially said this it said, no bomb today, a hundred bombs tomorrow in ten years.
That's what it says.
Because Iran can go for the enrichment of uranium, which is the key.
It was only two years ago you said that.
But yeah, in fact.
Now the assumption was people at hope, well, okay, we're kicking the cannon down the road, but the the this nuclear can of a single bomb then becomes the capacity to make dozens and dozens of bombs.
And Iran doesn't change its attitude.
In fact, since the since the signing of the deal, Sean, this is what has happened.
Iran has become more aggressive, more deadly, sponsoring more terrorism.
All right, when we come back, my sit down pretty historic week with the prime minister of Israel basically saying there's never been a closer relationship.
Our number one friend and ally in the region, and we're going to play that coming up.
Then we have our our Friday fun FGL concert series coming up in our final half hour of the program.
Hannity tonight, we got a great show, 10 Eastern, uh a biased and abusively corrupt news media exposed.
We'll get into the press conference tonight at 10.
Also, we have full coverage of holding republicans accountable to their promises.
A new segment that we will be doing regularly, both on radio and TV.
You don't want to miss that tonight.
Also, more on the Netanyahu interview, the immigration crisis, and the vetting crisis, and why did Obama put in place an executive order that allowed the NSA to pass on such information like they did with General Flynn to 16 other agencies?
Why did they do it with only 17 days left and they didn't do it the entire eight years he was there?
What's up with that?
Thank you.
BB and I have known each other a long time.
A smart man, great negotiator, and I think we're gonna make a deal.
It might be a bigger and better deal than people in this room even understand.
That's a possibility.
So let's see what we do.
That's right.
It doesn't sound too optimistic, but it's a good negotiator.
That's the art of the deal.
I also want to thank.
All right, that was the epic I mean, and really historic.
I can't really tell you what a dramatic shift and change has occurred.
With the relationship between the United States of America and Israel.
And I think the bigger story is what I got to in my interview with the Prime Minister, which I want to play here.
Uh this was yesterday at Blair House.
I watched yesterday, and what I said on television last night is this is history in the making.
I thought it was very profound.
I think it was a historical meeting.
It was a meeting of the minds and a meeting of the hearts.
Interesting.
You know, it was interesting to watch the president say, you know, what a cherished ally Israel is, and you just say there's no better supporter of the Jewish people and the state of Israel than Donald Trump.
And you've known him for how long?
How do you know that?
I've I knew him from the time that I was uh serving as Israel's ambassador to the UN, and uh, you know, we would sort of bump into each other here and there in New York City, but uh we've got to know each other over the years and most recently obviously.
And look, we've always had a great alliance between Israel and America through successive presidencies.
Uh I feel we have now, as the President says, uh, an even stronger alliance, a new day, he called it, uh, maybe a new age.
Yeah.
I I felt the cryptic message being sent.
And I want to just actually read what you said here.
For the first time in your life, for the first time in the history of your country, you said that the Arab countries, your neighbors in the region, right, do not see Israel as an enemy, but as an ally.
And then President Trump talked about newfound uh or you talked about newfound Arab partners, and he talked about maybe one state, maybe two states, but maybe a bigger deal, a more important deal.
So I'm listening, and this is my take, is that you had once said that one of the benefits of the Iran deal, if there was only one benefit, is it brought you and your Arab neighbors together.
So my read on this is that Israel now has a stronger relationship with the United States, maybe a sh a strong relationship with Great Britain, but also Jordan, Egypt, maybe the Emirates, maybe Saudi Arabia, as that never existed before, is that true?
I think there's a change, and the change is coming because of the rise of radical Islam.
Radical Islam is has two fountain heads.
One is uh the radical Sunnis led by ISIS, and before that by Al Qaeda, and the radical Shiites led by Iran.
The Arab countries are threatened by both.
And when they look around and they say, well, who's who's gonna help us against these these twin threats?
And they say, well, there's one country in the region that's powerful, that's determined, that's resolved to fight this common enemy, and that's Israel.
So they don't view us anymore as their enemy, but increasingly they see us as their ally against the common threat.
And I have to say that in my conversation yesterday with uh President Trump, he sees the things in the same way.
That opens up opportunities, no question about it.
But can I get into a little more deeply?
What has happened in the interim?
You have forged closer alliances.
I know you can't divulge everything, but what can you tell us about these particular countries, the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, because I gotta believe none of those countries want Iranian hegemony in the region.
That's an understatement.
They think Iran will cut their throats, and they're right.
They're right.
And they're right.
And they are, you know, I look, I I had uh uh in the Great Alliance between Israel and the United States, we've had our differences.
We also had uh and I gotta give credit to President Obama.
We had this memorandum of understanding, you know, of uh ten years' support for Israel.
I appreciate that.
Uh but we also had our differences, and the most important difference uh was on Iran.
Uh the Arab countries sort of whispered things in the dark, you know, they wouldn't say it outright.
I had to sort of speak out for everyone in the region.
Uh but right now I think it's not merely in the region.
People understand that Iran is uh is a malevolent force in the nuclear deal with Iran uh if it's kept, the Iranians just walk in.
The deal essentially Said this.
It said, no bomb today, a hundred bombs tomorrow in ten years.
That's what it says.
Because Iran can go for the enrichment of uranium, which is the key control.
That was only two years ago you said that.
Yeah, and it's happened.
Now the assumption was people at hope, well, okay, we're kicking the can down the road, but the the this nuclear can of a single bomb then becomes the capacity to make dozens and dozens of bombs.
And Iran doesn't change its attitude.
In fact, since the since the signing of the deal, Sean, this is what has happened.
Iran has become more aggressive, more deadly, sponsoring more terrorism, and in fact also with more money.
With more money, a lot more money.
And people are saying, wait a minute.
This roaring tiger, if it's not stopped, it'll devour all of us.
We're all prey to this this militant Islamic regime that will arm itself with nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that could reach you.
They've killed Americans all over the place.
They sponsored terrorism against Americans all over the place.
Now they're going to build ICBM, intercontinental ballistic missiles that can reach the United States and have the multiple warheads to do that.
That's horrible.
It's dangerous for America, dangerous for Israel, dangerous for the Arabs.
Everybody now understands it.
And there's an American president who understands it, and we're talking about what to do about this common threat.
And Iran represents the biggest threat.
Because it would couple a radical Islamic regime with nuclear weapons.
There could be evil that is not threatening because it doesn't have the powers of mass murder.
But when you couple a radical Islamic regime that says death to America with the weapons of mass death, then you have a much, much bigger problem.
A squared, B squared, C squared.
Radical Islamic terrorists, weapons of mass destruction equals a modern-day Holocaust.
It's up to us to prevent it.
That's the important issue.
It's the one thing the president said yesterday is that will not happen.
And I'm just assuming with uh a new coalition that that'd be very possible.
I don't think a lot of people fully understand.
I watched all these years since the Iranian revolution in 79, death to America, death to America, death to Israel, burning the American flag, burning the Israeli flag.
I think now after all of the incidents of terror, but we have this whole immigration problem where so many refugees have gone to Europe and parts of Europe have culturally shifted dramatically.
And if you look at countries under Sharia that oppress women and they kill gays and lesbians, and there are sixteen countries that don't accept Jewish passports.
Sixteen.
And America's supposed to take in the world's refugee pop population.
Explain how does America and Europe, based on your experience in the region, how do they ascertain if they're taking in immigrants, if they're taking in refugees, whether or not ISIS will infiltrate the refugee population.
How can you possibly vet what's in somebody's heart?
It's very hard to vet, but every country tries to, you know, one degree or another tries to do that.
And every country has to have the the freedom to do so.
And I won't get into your considerations of doing so, but I will say that you know, I I'll say this, you know, I'm a great uh believer in uh uh, you know, in in human exchanges and markets and so on, but uh I think it's very important to uh be able to prevent the infiltration of uh terrorists that is because terrorism is so disruptive, you know.
It doesn't necessarily kill that many people, although you suffered a terror attack that killed thousands of people.
I interviewed you, and you were one of our strongest allies at the time.
I remember that very, very well.
That was a moment of great tragedy.
So as the as the weapons become more sophisticated and more deadly, and the threat of terrorism becomes more deadly, and therefore the need to prevent terrorist infiltrators becomes greater.
And this is something that uh I think applies to all countries today.
The a thousand-pound bomb on a missile that Iran currently has can reach your country in less than seven minutes.
Right.
It's pretty scary.
Yeah.
And I went to Israel.
But when they'll have ICBMs that could reach your country, and that's what they're working on right now.
That's what they're working on.
Remember, we you're the great Satan.
We're just the small Satan, they say, and we're just on their way.
On their way to what?
You know, Henry Kissinger said, I think very uh intelligently said he said Iran is not merely a country.
It's much more of a cause.
It's a cause more than a country.
What is that cause?
Is global domination by their brand of radical Islam.
The caliphate.
This it's uh uh uh it's more than that.
They they believe that they're destined to govern the world.
Anybody who doesn't agree with them, they'll be able to subjugate or kill.
And they're working on the means to achieve that.
Their greatest uh enemy, they think is the United States.
They don't think they think everyone else is a derivative.
Uh and they're developing the capacity to deliver on their slogans, death to America and death to Americans in between.
So we have we uh we we have a grand mission, and it's not a mission that we invent.
We didn't invent these ICBMs.
We didn't invent their nuclear program in which they seek to create nuclear weapons.
We don't invent the uh uh the terrorists that they send throughout the Middle East and the world.
You know, Iran has a terror network of dozens and dozens of countries that they operate with their own operatives and their henchmen.
Well, they've been fighting proxy wars for for decades.
But I'm talking about terrorist cells that they are building, planning them, preparing them throughout the world in Asia, in Africa, in India, and in this United States in this hemisphere as well.
Yeah.
It's uh that's a pretty scary thought.
You know, uh let me go to the Palestinian issue on this one point.
You said the the president said one state, two state, maybe a whole new paradigm.
Um, and then talked about settlements briefly.
It might be helpful not to for now.
I don't want to harp on that point so much as I want to ask this.
If this coalition can be built, does that solve that problem too?
Could help.
Could help maybe it'll help.
Maybe absorb a population well uh the begin to affect this uh persistent refusal to recognize Israel in any boundary, and which is what uh is the source of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The reason it goes on is because the Palestinians continue to agitate for Israel's destruction.
They don't care about this territory or that boundary or that settlement.
They say everything is a settlement, Tel Aviv is a settlement, Jerusalem is a settlement, Haifa is a settlement.
You have to get rid of everything.
And and and I think that some normalization in the Arab world could help us begin to change attitudes there.
But even if we did, and I think they have to come and recognize the Jewish state.
I've said always, you know, you want peace.
The first thing is you gotta get rid of the thing that prevents peace.
The thing that prevents peace uh is the persistent refusal to recognize the right of the Jewish people for a state of their own.
That's what the Palestinians are precondition.
It's a simple.
I don't say it's a precondition for talks, but if you want to end the the conflict, that is a prerequisite for peace.
All right, that was my uh sit-down interview yesterday with the Prime Minister of Israel.
What a fascinating possibility is that there is a new emerging potential and possibility, an alliance, maybe the likes of which we haven't seen since World War II against evil in our time.
Who would have thought Israel, Egypt, Jordan, the Saudis would unite together, and who knows where this ends?
Will it end with taking out their nuclear sites?
I mean, that's certainly a possibility.
All right, quick break, right back, and we will continue.
Stay up to date with the latest news and expert opinions as Donald Trump takes office.
Stick right here with the Sean Hennedy Show, and the Sunday.
All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program.
Then we have our Friday Fun FGL Concert Series, which it's always at the bottom of the half hour in our final hour on a Friday.
Brian, North Carolina, how are you, sir?
Glad you called.
Doing well, thank you.
Listen, I got a favor to ask.
I keep hearing you and a bunch of other conservative hundreds repeating the phrase repeal and replace.
That's not why we voted the Republicans and I would prefer that you say repeal and revert.
Revert back to the system that we had before Obamacare.
Revert back to one based on aquarial sciences and the free market and get the government out.
What you're doing by saying repeal and replace is basically saying, hey, government, go back in there and tell us how we should do it right this time.
That's not what we want.
I just know what the promise was.
The re promise was a repeal and replace.
Now, there certainly were a lot of problems beforehand.
Health insurance is one of the biggest budget busters we've got.
And it is one of the biggest fears and concerns that people have.
We can come up with a far more intelligent, more effective system.
You know, the great news...
Yeah, we've seen it.
It's a free market.
I mean, everybody keeps...
I know.
We need 26-year-olds to be covered by their moms.
Okay, great.
Let insurance companies decide for themselves whether or not they want to cover the 26-year-olds.
Okay, that's what they're that's what the replacement plan is.
Why do you have to call it another name?
They why we change the name now when for eight years we've been saying repeal and replace.
That's why I didn't like when they said repeal and repair.
That's not what they promised.
You know, when I do this segment, holding them accountable, I mean I'm holding them accountable.
And that means to their promises.
Their promise was to repeal and replace health savings accounts, portability, dealing with pre-existing conditions, which is a big problem for people.
The reality is we better deal with it because the costs are skyrocketing.
The population is aging, and you're gonna pay one way or the other, so if we can get people as independent as possible, and that's why for young people, the the process of beginning to build their own health savings accounts that incentivizes that they get a checkup every year and also takes care of them, if God forbid they get cancer or have a bad accident or get a heart attack at a young age, which is very unlikely, and they'll be paying lower rates and they'll be insured, and they'll get the treatment they need.
And for older people now, well, we've got a system that's broken, it's Medicare, but we better get weaning off that system fast because it is unsustainable.
We can't afford it, and it won't work.
And eventually they'll just do what they do in Great Britain and with the National Health Services and they'll deny care.
And they say you reach this certain age, you're beyond the age expectation, you've exceeded your limit.
No, you're not getting your hip replaced.
Go ahead, walk around with a broken hip for the rest of your life.
Good luck with that.
The chances of healing it are zero.
The chances of healing it is zero.
All right, let's go to our busy telephones.
Dana St. Louis in Missouri.
How are you?
Happy Friday, Dana, and uh welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
Thank you, Sean.
I just love you.
And I just want to let you know I saw your interview last night, and let me tell you.
Which one did you see?
I had I had BB and I had Paul Ryan.
Which one?
Both.
Both.
And yeah, I watched you.
Thank you.
I watched everything.
I I adore you because you are a true patriotic, and you are for Trump and for us people of America.
I just want to let you know you are terrific.
And I listen to you every day, and I watch your show every night, and so does my whole family.
Dana, can I just tell you what I want?
What do you want?
I want I want our country safe and secure.
I want every American to feel safe in their neighborhoods.
I want every American to have a shot at the American dream.
I want our fellow Americans, 95 million of them that want jobs to get jobs.
I want I want people in poverty to be able to climb out of poverty, get their first home, buy a nice car, live in a safe neighborhood.
I want people on food stamps, same thing.
I don't think I you know, and I I don't care how we get there.
Just do your job.
That's exactly it.
And that's why I loved you.
You holding Ryan's feet to the fire saying, Now you're really gonna do this?
Are you really gonna get this done?
And us, the American people, that's why we voted for Mr. Trump, because we finally want somebody that's gonna get in there and get the job done.
We're so tired of both the Republicans and the Democrats pussy footing around and always worried about their careers.
It's not about that.
It's about us, the American people, and this beautiful country that we live in.
I agree with you.
Listen, I'm I'm doing a segment now on radio and TV, and as we mentioned earlier in the program today, it's holding them accountable, Holding Republicans accountable, holding Democrats accountable, holding the president accountable.
You know, and so far to his credit, he is keeping up with his promises.
So um if I see a change, I'll let you know.
But I I actually felt better after speaking to Paul Ryan yesterday, because I asked very pointed specific questions.
Are you on board with this is the agenda that Donald Trump ran on?
You aren't really with him in the election.
Are you now on board with this agenda?
And then I I laid out what the president's agenda is, and he said absolutely yes.
Okay.
Why didn't you have a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare?
Okay, we've got the plan, it's being scored, CBO.
There's certain legislative complications, which by the way is all true.
He's uh he's not lying.
It is more complicated because of the way it was passed, etc.
And undoing this mess is very hard.
So uh you we gotta give them some latitude, but we've got to make sure it gets done.
And I and he he said, give me two hundred days, and it's all gonna be done.
So I think we give them the two hundred days, and if it's not done, I'm gonna be screaming bloody murder.
Okay?
All of us will be doing the same.
All right, but you you know, you gotta understand the one thing that in this process is all of us that are irredeemable, deplorables that cling to God, our Bibles, our guns, our religion, all of us.
And um all of us, we need to understand we just can't vote, walk away, and expect it to be done.
You know, we we've got to stay engaged.
Right now, the left is doing everything they can do to tear down the president, all of those around him, and a lot of Republicans are gonna get very weak in the process because they're seeing all the crowds and all the media coverage, and they're afraid of their own shadows.
So the people that are gonna stiffen their spines and hold them up and hold them accountable is us.
Yep.
And so that's our job.
You stay right there, Dane.
I'm gonna give you a Trump pen.
We have a couple left.
I want to give it to you.
Uh our good friend Kathleen Saucier, her son Christian Saucier, spending a year in jail because of six pictures he took in a submarine, which is ridiculous.
I'm hoping that the president at some point will give the pardon that is well deserved here.
Uh Kathleen, my prayers, my thoughts are with you, your family, and uh I'm hoping that comes in.
Thank you.
Thank you so much again for giving me the opportunity to speak out.
You know, I I heard what you were just talking about with the last caller, and you know, your hopes and dreams for the American for our country are the same as mine.
I feel that, you know, we should all have that opportunity at the American Dream to be safe here in our country, um, to be able to go forward with our future as we choose, on ever whatever level that is.
And right now and and over the past many years, as Donald Trump said he inherited a disaster a mess.
Um, we aren't able to do that.
So I'm hopeful that that will happen with this administration, as well as, you know, you mentioned hopeful that Donald Trump, you brought it to his awareness um when you did that interview a couple of weeks ago.
Um one of the things I mentioned last night on on risk and reward on another Fox channel is that you know, he's spending so much time, his administration has spent wasting so much time on putting out these fires instead of being able to do what he should be doing every day, all day, like he did with the coal miners yesterday.
That's what he should be able to do, and his people should be able to do.
Listen, he's he's doing it today.
He spoke earlier in South Carolina, and when it when he spoke today, you know, he was telling all of these people at Boeing that, you know, jobs are coming back, we're getting good prices, you're doing a great job, and then he's going to Melbourne, Florida tomorrow.
I think he realizes that the best path for him, and he did such a good job, he kicked so much ass yesterday in that press conference, and the media's coverage of this is they're now bordering on insane.
That's how der uh the d this is a derangement that they're never gonna get over.
Their egos have been shattered.
They're the very essence of who they think they're they are.
You know, the Trump has been an iconoclast exposing media corruption.
And so the blowback is predictable, but he's still just doing his job.
Just keep doing it.
I would say just keep doing your job.
But what you mentioned too, he's one man, he's the president of the United States.
It's our responsibility, top responsibility to the media because they have such power in what they present.
But to us, the American people, to stand behind him and this administration and say, what can we do to make America great again?
How can we come together?
That's our responsibility.
Kathleen, if we don't stay on these guys, I'm predicting here, Republicans are going to buckle.
The Republicans are getting weak.
You know, we've seen little signs and evidence of it.
You know, where did the word repair come out from?
Repeal and repair.
No, that's not what you promised.
And so that went away quickly, but it has to be challenged.
That's why holding them accountable is now my job.
And it's also the job of anyone that wants the country to be fixed.
Listen, we'll stay in touch, Kathleen.
I will uh I will update you anything that I hear, I promise, okay?
God bless you.
Thank you.
God bless.
All right, 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, Lenny is in Staten Island in New York, the all-new AM710 WOR.
What's going on?
How are you doing, Sean?
I'm good.
How are you?
I wanted to let you know.
Um my nephew goes to a school on Staten Island where uh they had a homework assignment.
And not only did the teacher in the homework assignment pretty much bashed Trump, and then the next question it uh question question eight, and they have the kids fill in the blanks.
President Trump speaks in a very superior end.
The kid's supposed to pick a word, maybe it's out of a vocabulary list or something.
And manner insulting many people.
He needs to be more blank.
Then it says, question nine.
Barack Obama said a blank when he became the first African American president.
No, that's not we're not indoctrinating kids.
We're not we're not imposing our views on them.
Not at all.
Of course, there you know what?
This happens in every school.
And here's the problem.
We spend more per student than any other industrialized country.
$11,600 per student, and we have the worst results of any of these industrialized countries.
Now, are we teaching them reading and writing and math?
No, we're propagandizing them.
We're turning them into little liberal robots, and it's all done by design, which is why the Democratic Party and the NAA have this unholy alliance because they want to keep their power, they want to keep their tenure, they don't want to be held accountable, and being 18th, 24th, 28th, when we spend more money than anybody else is just fine with them as long as they're good little good little Alinsky disciples.
That's what they're trying to do.
That's funny.
Sorry, Lenny.
Find another school.
And that's the sad part.
Most people can't afford another school.
Are you ready to get out of the media spin room?
