This is an iHeart podcast.
Let not your heart be troubled.
You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.
Hey, with optimism, once again, on the rise in America, the working people of this country are more important than ever.
Well, now they have a podcast that celebrates them and tells their stories on the job from hired to retired.
Well, it's a new podcast from our friends at Express Employment Professionals that digs into the lives of men and women at work and explores their journeys as they fight to make the American dream a reality.
On the Job takes the listener through the ups and downs of making a living in America.
Now, check out the new podcast, On the Job, from Hired to Retired, on iHeartRadio, iTunes, or wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

All right, Clint, you're with us.
Happy Monday.
And I want to start out again.
And I took a lot of time to reflect and rest this weekend and thank all of you for all the support you showed me last week.
To the extent possible, we will keep doing what we're doing, but I want to get focused on what is important.
And for the economy, that means Americans in poverty on food stamps that are out of the labor force, getting everybody, get this country's economy going again so everybody participates.
This country becoming energy independent.
What matters are important things like, yeah, how about some free market competition and health care and health savings accounts and cooperatives like Dr. Josh down in Wichita, Kansas.
You know, these are the things that ought to be mattering to everybody.
That America finally, finally become energy independent.
And yeah, that we vet refugees that come from countries that abuse women terribly, kill gays and lesbians, and persecute Christians and Jews.
Yeah, we're going to more than vet you when you come into the country.
We're going to ask you tough questions and we're going to make you prove to us you don't share those values that you grew up under.
Sorry, that is for the protection, the security, and the safety of the American people.
And yeah, I want the wall built too.
I want that done.
It's pretty amazing the reactions over the week.
I've never seen anything like this.
You know, I went on Twitter earlier today, and I took a break from Twitter this weekend because it's so freaking addicting.
I mean, and I honestly have a blast on it.
And I'll get into this maybe later in the program today.
I mean, I saw this earlier this weekend.
So the terror attacks, which we're going to talk about in a second in London, take place.
And then in London, there it is, CNN headline news, CNN news.
This is CNN.
And you can watch for two and a half minutes.
They're orchestrating.
There's maybe 10, 12 people protesting, Muslims protesting at the reaction of the London police, you know, after this insanity where a rental van plows onto the sidewalk of the London Bridge, mowing down pedestrians and then crashes outside the Barrow Boy and Banker pub.
And then three terrorists exit the van and go on a stabbing spree through the borough market.
And you have witnesses hearing them shout for this is for Allah and just slicing and dicing and killing everybody that gets in their way.
And then all of a sudden, eight minutes later, finally, cops kill the attackers.
In a second, we're going to get into this whole issue of, oh, it appears that there was a British documentary that followed prominent radical Islamists that live with inside the United Kingdom.
And one of the people responsible was in the stupid documentary.
Why was he in the country?
Good grief, this is pathetic.
But anyway, so then there you have it, CNN.
So two and a half minutes.
They're lining the dozen protesters up.
Are they talking about the people, the motivation, the, oh, this is for Allah, the impact of all throughout Europe with the Islamization and now people coming from cultures that conflict with European culture in the sense that they don't want to abuse women, gays, lesbians, and Christians and Jews.
And that, you know, some people, when they immigrate, they actually bring those values with them.
And you see a dramatic increase in these terrorist attacks.
Did we not learn from 9-11?
And then CNN is orchestrating.
All right, everybody, everybody, take your places, please.
Places, everyone.
Places.
Quiet on the set.
Take your place.
Everybody, take it.
And they're telling them where to stand and when to hang up when to put up their signs.
So they have the perfect shot and backdrop.
You know, fake news in three, two, one.
Action.
That's it's pathetic.
Then you got this other CNN host.
You know, imagine James Earl Jones.
How many years, if we have it set up there, have we heard James Earl Jones with one of the best set of pipes voices in the history of mankind?
He's also the voice of Darth Vader.
This is CNN, a network of Trend and Broadcasting System.
This is CNN.
Yeah, CNN, where you have a reporter host calling the president of the United States a POS, a piece of boop.
By the way, apparently back in May, I saw in the Daily Caller, he called me that.
I must have missed it.
I should have used, not have used profanity to describe the president.
Why is he working there?
How do you hire and have somebody that works there that is hanging up an image looking like an ISIS fighter of a decapitated president of the United States with blood all over his face?
Whoopsie-daisy.
Sorry about that.
You know, there's now copycat.
I don't know if this was done for attention, and that's there's nothing funny about it.
Nothing.
And I tweeted out another image today by this idiot on social media.
And I'm like, you know what, Secret Service, you need to start looking into these people.
You need to get to the bottom of this sooner rather than later.
It's incredible.
So here we go again.
We got another instance of terror.
Another one.
And I'm watching all of this.
And the worst piece of news, and we put it up on Hannity.com, and it's broken the British newspapers.
I guess about an hour and a half ago, I got a heads up from Nigel Farage, a friend of the program, that apparently the UK is a Channel 4 station, and they had a year-long documentary that followed terrorist sympathizers all throughout Britain, mainly openly calling for Sharia law.
Now, there's been so much accommodation Accommodation all throughout with the migrants and everything.
Do you know that Great Britain has 88 Sharia courts?
How much more accommodating can you do for people that don't want to adopt your values?
Now, if you grow up in a country where men can tell women how to dress and men can tell women they can't drive and men can tell women they can't travel abroad and men can tell women you don't get to leave the house without a male relative.
And gays and lesbians are just put to death, thrown off buildings or hung.
And Christians and Jews, you can't build in many of these countries.
You can't build a temple, a Jewish temple, or a Christian church.
So they persecute Christians and Jews.
And where in certain countries, if you actually speak out against the prophet, well, the penalty for that is death.
If you wanted to convert from Islam to Christianity, because that's where your heart guides you, well, forget it.
That's called apostasism.
And the penalty for which is death.
So all of a sudden, now people want to migrate, if you will, into Europe, and they have in larger and larger and larger and larger numbers.
And there's been great accommodation, including Sharia courts.
And it doesn't seem to be working in terms of getting people to assimilate and leave behind values that directly contradict the values of Great Britain and other countries all throughout Europe or American values and American constitutional law.
Because none of the things that I mentioned that is actually practiced under Sharia is constitutional in America.
It is not who we are.
It is not our value system.
It is a direct contradiction.
I call it a clash of cultures.
And so Great Britain followed these people calling for Sharia openly in Great Britain for a year.
In the show, one of the London Bridge attackers, identified as ABS, can be seen praying at an event in London's Region Park under the black flag of the Islamic State, saying the Sharia is coming to the UK.
And this black flag that you see here one day is going to be on 10 Downing Street.
What's going to happen is you're going to face a backlash in this country, he added.
And if you're going to suppress, and suppress, I mean, it's like a tinderbox, it's going to explode.
Now, producer for Sky News in Great Britain and the BBC was one of the first to notice the appearance of the terror suspect in the documentary, writing on social media: quote, the London Bridge terrorist literally starred in Channel 4's documentary, Jihadi Next Door, and police still didn't stop him.
Now, Teresa May seems to have done an about face, and I guess we got the big vote coming up on Thursday.
Whether or not this impacts it, I think is yet to be seen.
I don't know if she recovers based on her previous statements.
And you got this, I mean, this London mayor is just insane.
Don't be alarmed.
No reason to be alarmed.
There's only people, you know, in Manchester, only people hanging out in London.
No, London's one of the safest cities in the world.
No reason at all to be alarmed.
That's a bunch of garbage.
Everybody should be alarmed.
You know, I do my martial arts.
We do blade and firearm training.
And I've said this on air before, and dopey people that know nothing about self-defense don't listen to me closely.
But I'd rather confront, listen closely, at close range, meaning in my grill, a gun literally on my forehead or in my chest or my back.
I'd rather confront that than a blade in terms of my own safety.
Close range, very different than at a distance.
And, you know, it's a blade in the hands of somebody that has knowledge how to use it is deadly and very hard to defend against.
One of the hardest things you'll ever defend against, you know, short of a bomb.
It's unbelievable.
And so these people, terror, you know, terror once again is here.
And then I'm watching the news coverage.
So I'm following CNN's coverage.
And I'm saying to myself, this is madness.
They're now going to manufacture fake news and we can see the orchestration of the whole thing.
Quiet on the set.
Places, everybody.
Places.
Hold up your signs.
Fake news.
321 action.
And then you have Trump's a POS.
I'm actually honored.
He had called me one back in May.
That's all fine.
And then I'm reading all over social media another disgusting beheaded image of our president.
You know, if that's Obama, I'm saying the same thing.
This is now becoming these, the people on the left in this country are so unglued.
It's so out of control.
Then you got Thomas Roberts.
Who's Tom Roberts?
He's the guy saying, oh, is Trump trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack with his tweets?
Listen to this.
But from our own president, we only have his Twitter feed to go over here.
One of his other tweets from five hours ago was we must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people.
If we don't get smart, it will only get worse.
Again, I also mentioned he went on a Twitter rant about the travel ban and having that reinstituted, you know, saying that we need to be smart, vigilant, and tough.
I just want to ask you, you know, the president doesn't want us to be politically correct, right?
So let's not be PC about this.
Is the president trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack with this Twitter rant?
Because only to prove himself right?
Unbelievable.
And that's not all the media.
That's not anything else.
And then you got another MSNBC commentator accusing me and Rush of defending right-wing terrorists.
Now, this is slander, what you're about to hear.
Now, let me get to that in a second.
It is, I want to stay on time.
Our cock stations get very upset along the Sean Hannity show syndication line.
So we'll get to that.
All right.
Now, I'll get to that.
And then I'll tell you the rest of what the media is doing.
An NBC anchor asking, did London overreact?
And the idiot comments of Joe Scarborough.
Oh, by the way, did I tell you Bill Maher used the N-word?
Shocking.
All right, so I have insomnia, but I've never slept better.
And what's changed?
Just a pillow.
It's had such a positive impact on my life.
And of course, I'm talking about my pillow.
I fall asleep faster.
I stay asleep longer.

You will love this pillow.
I'm just getting angry.
It's so sad to see what we saw this weekend.
And I was watching the news this morning.
Look at Orlando, Florida.
Five people shot in Orlando.
Looks like people just targeted.
Like every day, this kind of insanity and violence is perpetrating.
And then you've got it's so sad for all these families, and then you've got people politicizing it.
Like this guy on MSNBC, well, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
This is a lie, what you're about to hear.
Listen, you know, when you go back to 2010, when the Department of Homeland Security came out with a report talking about the threat of right-wing extremism, and it's a huge threat.
These are terrorists, these are violent people.
You know, the Rush Limbaughs and members of Congress and Sean Hannity's all came running out saying, They're saying conservatives are violent.
Well, what just happened?
In order to attack Obama, they said conservatives are right-wing terrorists.
They told these right-wing extremists, you are one of us.
And it's not a surprise that the statistics show that when the Republicans control at least one House of Congress, this kind of violence goes up.
Because it's not just Trump, nobody is repudiating it.
We cannot have our politicians telling those that we represent violence is okay.
If you criticize the right-wing terrorists, that's bad.
Racism is okay.
Whatever you want to say is okay.
Just don't be Islamic.
That's kind of where we are now.
I don't even know where to begin to respond or what this guy, an extremist, is even sounds like extreme to me.
Are you laughing in there?
You think that's funny?
Why are you so why did you crack up?
We're all laughing, don't worry.
Oh, I don't, but it's sad.
You can't, where are these right-wing extremists?
And I deplore hatred and violence and racism.
You know, I didn't take money from countries like Saudi Arabia like your presidential candidate did.
And it gets worse.
You got anchors, and we'll get to this at the news after right after the news at the bottom of the hour.
Did the London police overreact to the attacks?
Well, what's the option here?
If somebody is slashing people to death, what are your options?
Or you got, you know, Joy Behar, you know, defending Bill Maher and Kathy Griffin, but also all these people on CNN and MSNBC, the crap that they're spewing day in and day out is unbelievable.
The times we are living in are extraordinary.
The insanity is at an all-time high.
And we're not going to be able to win unless more people get it.
Stepped outside the bar for a second, and a man went up to him and said, This is for my family, this is for Islam, and stuck.
And then a knife straight in him.
He's got a seven-inch scar going from his belly round to his back.
And after he was attacked, did the man run away or did he go?
The man run away.
Daniel headed back into the pub.
There were shots fired.
Everybody was told to lie down.
And then they were told to go downstairs in the bar.
At this stage, Daniel's friend put a tourniquet on him.
He was holding pressure there.
He was brought downstairs.
Parts of that he doesn't remember.
And then when the police were there, the police brought him in their car to the hospital.
The police have been absolutely fantastic.
Nurses staff have been absolutely, absolutely.
Is he able to talk at the moment?
He's able to talk to you at the moment.
Yes, yes, yeah.
He's able to talk.
He still doesn't quite believe what's happening.
Unbelievable.
Now, just to give you some context, that was Elizabeth O'Neill, a London Bridge witness, describing how her son Daniel was stabbed by terrorists in the attack.
This is for Islam, but don't say it.
And then I'm listening to this idiot.
I've never in all my life understood.
And I see ratings every day.
And, you know, believe it or not, we, well, we're supposed to live and die by ratings.
And when they, when liberals can't stop people from liking shows they don't like, then they just go to the boycott strategy to silence conservative voices, which we experienced last week.
But I've never in my life, I've seen this guy's ratings for years.
And he even once was in, I think we went through 40 hosts against Hannity and Combs and Hannity on the Fox News channel, and none of them have ever beaten me, ever.
Maybe a night here and there, maybe a week because the news was favorable to liberals or something.
But we win every night thanks to all of you.
And he had to move to the morning show because he was getting pummeled by me every night.
And even then, his ratings are so disgustingly poor.
It's remarkable how somebody that does that bad gets that much press.
And the reason he gets all the press he gets, I'm talking about Liberal Joe, is that he's a liberal and he sucks up to everybody in the media establishment and kisses their ass.
And he now is like, oh, well, here's a Republican that's bashing Trump every day.
Let's use him.
And so he has always wanted to be loved.
And, you know, it's like a switch went off in his head.
Oh, I can be more popular if I do this.
And then he's out there, but someone needs to break Trump's phone.
How does he get so much press?
And he's talking about, you know, he made the London mayor a hero.
The London mayor this weekend literally went out there and said, oh, everything's fine.
Don't be alarmed at all.
London's safe.
No, London's not safe.
Great Britain's not safe.
The world is not safe from radical Islamists.
Let's stop lying to people.
Here's what this idiot said.
This is what we all talked about and we all feared for some time when Donald Trump was using his tweets to attack Meryl Streep or attack, you know, sports franchises or whomever he decided to attack.
We said, well, what happens if he's president and he uses Twitter to attack our allies?
Well, you can see what happened in Germany.
You can see his attacks against Merkel.
And now, again, attack against our most important ally in their time of need.
And you just wonder, why can't somebody in the White House, why can't somebody in his orbit, why can't Melania go in there and take the phone and break it in half?
I mean, every politician you attack in Europe, you elect them.
Whether it's Macron or whether, I mean, you're now going to elect Angela Merkel.
You have now made the mayor of London a hero.
He might as well, yeah, put a crown on this guy's head, Donald, because of you.
He doesn't realize everything he does backfires against him.
He's really undermined himself with the travel ban.
And he's really turned the mayor of London into a hero.
It's unwatchable drivel every day that gets horrible ratings and the most press of anything I've ever seen.
You know, same network, by the way, asking if the London police overreacted to the attacks.
Now, I ask you this question.
Let's say you happen to be one of the people that unfortunately is in harm's way.
And these guys, you know, slicing and dicing and killing their way.
This is for Islam as they go shouting.
And you're in harm's way.
And your children are in harm's way, like the woman, Elizabeth O'Neill, whose son was stabbed by these terrorists.
And I mentioned, you know, I do blade and firearm training.
Close range, I'll take a firearm over a blade.
Any day, in my face, I'll take it.
And I have a better chance of defending against it.
Close range for you dopey people that know nothing about self-defense.
But just listen to, this is NBC News.
Listen to this.
When you have analyzed these incidents post facto as well as during, as you have so many times with me and others here on MSNBC and NBC News, what is the risk?
There's certainly a risk of underreaction, but is there any risk of overreaction of deploying too much?
You know, as we've been watching all of this live coming into our satellite center here in New York City and then beaming it out from London, is there ever a point where you go, well, that's too much or you shouldn't be applying that amount of force there?
Oh, well, you know, in the city that's experiencing the attacks and when there's multiple attacks, really, I don't think your response can be too large to get enough officers and investigators there to quickly quell it and then find out what's going on.
It's really not a question of too many officers.
It's a question of, you know, using their matic with me smartly, getting all the help you can get.
Okay.
So you got this London report that says he was part of a documentary, one of the guys.
Well, you might have overreacted there, you know.
So easy for people not in that situation to weigh in, isn't it?
As they sit in the comfort of their air-conditioned freaking studios.
Unbelievable.
Overpaid prima donnas in my business and radio and television.
And you're going to say, Hannity, that includes you.
And I'm like, yeah, it's true.
It really is.
As somebody that worked for a living, it's absolutely obnoxious.
The only difference is they think they're worth it, and I know better.
That goes for all of us.
It's easy to sit there in your studio say, well, you know, maybe these police overreacted.
What a pompous jackass.
You're not the one under fire, you idiot.
You know, one of the ISIS attackers, according to the UK Sun, who went on this rampage, apparently on Saturday night, had previously been reported to Britain's terrorist hotline.
UK Sun reports that one of the three terrorists behind the attack Saturday in London on London Bridge reported to security services on at least two occasions, it was claimed.
When questions were raised as to whether authorities had allowed one of the killers to allow them to slip through the net after two of his former friends claimed to have spoken about their concerns.
Wow, we're so stupid.
At some point, when do we get to say, oh, the government's responsible for some of this crap?
And Donald Trump is under fire for saying, you know, if you come from a country that says you can control women and treat them like garbage and kill gays and lesbians and why don't you leave them the hell alone and persecute people of other religions.
You know, the fact that we're going to question you before you come here.
Oh, it's such a horrible thing.
The Brits I have planned to revoke citizenship of terrorist suspects.
Well, maybe it's time.
Just a thought.
Just a thought.
We'll get to all of this.
So last night I saw Vladimir add him to the list of, well, let's see, Julian Assange, Maxine Waters, Joe Manchin, Diane Feinstein, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, all saying no evidence of Russian collusion.
Now, some of you are going to say, Hannity, it's Putin.
He's a former KGB guy.
I'm saying, okay, I'm just saying that just add him to the list.
I didn't say to believe him.
He laughed at it last night, laughed at America and all this Russia-Trump collusion stuff.
Just laughing at us.
Watch this.
Listen to this.
You've said that your ambassador, Kislyak, was just doing his job, right?
So what exactly was discussed in those meetings?
There were no meetings.
You understand?
There were no meetings.
When I saw this, my jaw dropped.
No meetings between Ambassador Kislyak and anybody from the Trump campaign?
I have no idea.
I'm being completely honest with you.
I don't know.
The routine job of an ambassador.
Do you think that from all over the world or from the United States, the ambassador reports to me every day who he meets with or what they discuss there?
That's complete nonsense.
Do you even understand what you ask him?
Well, you're his boss.
Listen, his boss is a minister of foreign affairs.
Do you think that I have time to talk to our ambassadors every day all over the world?
Complete nonsense.
Among those under scrutiny is the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
At a meeting with Russia's ambassador last December, he reportedly tried to establish a secret communications channel with the Russian government.
This is a proposal, a proposal by Mr. Kushner.
I don't know about this proposal.
No proposal like that came to me.
Have you gone back to speak with the ambassador about what was in those discussions he had with Jared Kushner, with anybody else from the Trump campaign?
No.
Never?
No, I haven't.
Aren't you interested?
No, because had there been anything significant, he would have reported it to the minister.
The minister would have reported it to me.
There weren't even any reports.
There's nothing to even talk about.
wasn't even any kind of specific discussion about sanctions or anything else for me this is just You know, imagine, you know, God forbid, did Obama not say, hey, listen, listen.
Tell Vladimir that I'll have more flexibility after they elect my last election.
Yeah, last time my election, I have four talks about it.
So tell him, come.
Did he not back channel with the Iranians on that bad deal?
We see now a top Senate Russian investigator says he can't find a smoking gun.
Mark Warner, a lot of smoke, but we don't have any smoking guns than Senator Warner.
Everybody's saying it.
By the way, Lindsey Graham, we're going to get into this in the next hour.
Big breaking news.
So Comey's going to testify this week.
Comey said in May that nobody ever tried to obstruct justice.
Comey's now saying that he has a memo.
Of course, unnamed sources, New York Times, a memo.
Well, if Comey thought that the president was trying to get him to obstruct in any way Lieutenant General Flynn, who Vladimir said last night, I had no idea who he was.
I only said hello.
That's it.
It was very funny, actually.
And he doesn't know that he tried to obstruct.
And if he didn't do it, then he violated 18 U.S.C. 4, which is a felony.
So it's going to be interesting, the testimony of Comey.
I'll get into that later in the next hour.
And so now Mark Warner, add him to the list of our montage.
Oh, and Lindsey Graham now says that he has reason to believe that he was spied upon by the Obama administration.
Unbelievable.
And some other news after Hillary, oh, oh, Linda, did you see the dossier that our friends over at MediaEqualizer.com built on Hillary's friends at the Soros Clinton group?
I have been privy to it, yes.
Did you see the stuff that has been said?
It's pretty awful.
I mean, all the stuff they print every day, and it's 50 times worse.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it's so much worse.
But, you know, that they just.
Well, I think what's going to happen is you've got to ask them, do they know they're paying for this?
George Soros needs to be asked, and the funders need to be asked, and the board needs to be asked, and Hillary needs to be asked.
And if this is the game they're going to continue to play, then I guess we're just going to have to go public with it all.
I guess, you know, I'm going to, I don't have control over Media Equalizer, but I'll ask them if they're going to go public.
It sounds like they are based on, I saw that they put up a thing earlier, and that was interesting to me.
Yeah, yeah, they're actually making some edit changes to it now, and they're re-putting it back up with some more stuff.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
It's getting very interesting.
It's good for the goose.
It's good for the gander.
Fight fire with fire.
Is that what it is?
Operation Fight Fire with Fire.
Yeah.
Stop the scalpings.
And let's see.
It was in the Hill that more than a dozen Democrats are wanting Hillary to go away.
Shocking.
By the way, we do have some interesting.
Louis Gomert said Congress should enact the travel ban despite the court objections.
I agree with him.
We have small businesses applauding Trump for dumping the Paris climate change.
You know, five million jobs would have been lost.
I know liberals don't give a rip.
They're not the ones in poverty on food stamps, and they're not the ones that are out of the labor force and don't have a home.
So what do they give a flying rip?
Apparently, they don't care.
So sad flying around in their private jets all over the world, polluting the environment, lecturing you about your minivans.
No, adults dress up for Halloween.
They don't do that in Nebraska.
It's frowned upon.
Yeah, we don't do that quite as much.
But wow.
I've got to get to Nebraska more.
You're welcome.
We'd love to have you work in the fields with us.
Work in the fields?
That's part of that.
Senate.
I'm a house nigga.
No, it's a shower.
Thanks.
Okay.
Bill Maher.
Okay.
Uses the N-word.
Is it up on the Soros-Clinton group that he should be fired?
Did they list the name of all the HBO officials that have him hired, Linda?
I'm looking.
I must have missed it.
I don't see it there.
Oh, it's a fairly fair.
Any second now, boss.
Any second, I'm sure.
Oh, it's only conservatives they go after.
Oh, do you mean they can have people that run the place that are bigoted, homophobic, racist?
They work there?
Is that true?
No way.
I wouldn't believe.
We'll continue.
So if the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?
In theory, yes.
Has it happened?
Not in my experience, because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something without an appropriate purpose.
I mean, we're oftentimes they give us opinions that we don't see a case there, and so you ought to stop investing resources in it.
But I'm talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason.
That would be a very big deal.
It's not happened in my experience.
Now, I have so far used the singular term email server in describing the referral that began our investigation.
It turns out to have been more complicated than that.
Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department.
And she also used numerous mobile devices to send and to read email on that personal domain.
As new servers and equipment were employed, older servers were taken out of service, stored, and decommissioned in various ways.
Piecing all of that back together to gain as full an understanding as possible of the ways in which personal email was used for government work has been a painstaking undertaking requiring thousands of hours of effort.
For example, when one of Secretary Clinton's servers was decommissioned in 2013, the email software was removed.
That didn't remove the email content, but it was like removing the frame from a huge unfinished jigsaw puzzle and then dumping all the pieces on the floor.
The effect was that millions of email fragments ended up in the server's unused or slack space.
We searched through all of it to understand what was there and what parts of the puzzle we could put back together again.
FBI investigators also read all of the approximately 30,000 emails that Secretary Clinton provided to the State Department in 2014.
In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as secret by the U.S. intelligence community at the time it was discussed on email.
That is excluding any later up classified emails.
None of these emails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these emails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff like those found at agencies and departments of the United States government or even with a commercial email service like Gmail.
Finally, with respect to our recommendation to the Department of Justice.
In our system, the prosecutors make the decisions about whether charges are appropriate based on evidence that the FBI helps collect.
Although we don't normally make public our recommendations to the prosecutors, we frequently make recommendations and engage in productive conversations with prosecutors about what resolution may be appropriate given the evidence.
In this case, given the importance of the matter, I think unusual transparency is in order.
Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before deciding whether to bring charges.
There are obvious considerations like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent.
Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person's actions and how similar situations have been handled in the past.
In looking back at our investigations into the mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts.
All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information or vast quantities of information exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct or indications of disloyalty to the United States or efforts to obstruct justice.
We do not see those things here.
All right, our two Sean Hannity show, those obviously cuts of James Comey, that going back to his July press conference where 13 minutes he lays out one of the most compelling incontrovertible cases that Hillary Clinton repeatedly lied and committed felonies, but then at the last 90 seconds he said, but never mind.
It never made any sense.
Now, add to that the first cut you heard, and that was James Comey in May, May 3rd, saying he's never been pressured to end an investigation.
And then, of course, the big New York Times issue about, well, memo to self, Donald Trump told me to go easy on General Flynn.
Okay, but that meeting was in January.
So is what he said in May true?
Is what his memo said true?
And if, in fact, when he testifies on Thursday, is James Comey risking putting himself in legal jeopardy because of the different felonies that he would have committed if, in fact, somebody tried to persuade him to obstruct justice and he did not report it to the Justice Department.
He's compelled by law, 18 U.S. codes, certain two certain provisions to do that very thing.
Now, on top of that, we have something new and really fascinating evolving that we've got to delve into here.
And our friends over at circa.com, John Solomon and Sarah Carter, broke this story that, and the headline is, Comey refuses to answer bipartisan questions from senators saying he is a private citizen.
So he's formally now refusing to answer questions submitted to him by a bipartisan group of senators suggesting that he no longer must do so as a private citizen.
Now, Comey sent an email from his private account last week rebuffing the seven questions that were submitted to him by the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley and the committee's ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein after Comey's final testimony as the FBI director to the panel last month.
Now this is getting fascinating, especially in light of the fact that he's supposed to testify on Thursday.
And if you watch news reports, you would think that he is going to accuse the president of obstruction of justice.
The only problem is if he were to ever do that, he's contradicting what he said in May.
He also will be admitting that he failed to follow the law that he is compelled to follow as the FBI director if in fact somebody even in any remote way suggested obstruction of justice.
Here with us, and they've been following, obviously, the surveillance, the unmasking, and the leaking of intelligence issues better than anybody in the country, Sarah Carter and John Solomon.
How are you both?
Great.
Thank you, Sean.
You know, I know I shouldn't do this, but I'll start with John today because he thinks he's the boss, but he's not.
We both know that.
He's so the boss.
No, no, no, no.
He's not the boss.
He's not.
He's not the boss at all.
All right.
So seriously, John, this is a big issue.
So he's not going to answer these questions.
Why?
Yeah, it's a good question.
I mean, he doesn't specify.
It's a very short email.
It's a bipartisan group of senators.
All of the questions are related to these memos.
When did you create this memo alleging that President Trump pressured you?
Who did you share it with?
Did you keep it?
Is it a federal record?
Is it not a federal record?
And he didn't want to answer any of those questions.
And other than saying I'm now a private citizen, and that's why I'm not going to answer him.
He didn't offer any more insight.
And I think I talked to several people close to both sides of the committee and the Judiciary Committee who thought that this was unusual.
And they actually fear that what he's doing is venue shopping, trying to find a more favorable place to tell a story than the Judiciary Committee, which historically asked pretty tough questions.
So he's scheduled to testify this week.
There's speculation running rampant.
I think a lot of it is hope among those that want to advance their political narrative, Sarah Carter, about President Trump.
And their feeling is that if he says the right words, makes the right innuendo, that in fact it will be a stinging indictment that President Trump tried to stop or obstruct justice in the case of General Flynn.
But yet May 3rd, James Comey's on tape saying that's never happened.
Exactly.
I was going to say that.
I mean, according to sources that I've been speaking to, and John was right on the money with the sources that have been talking to him as well, I mean, this would be an indictment of himself, right?
Because if he felt that the president was pressuring him in order to drop the case, then he should have reported that.
That is his requirement by law.
His requirement under the law, and to fail to do so is a felony.
Absolutely, absolutely.
So what's he going to say?
Now remember, this is a story written by a source, an unnamed source in the New York Times.
So he may not go there at all.
I mean, the source could be completely wrong, or the source could be right.
I mean, we don't know yet until Comey testifies.
What we do know is that he refused to answer the questions to the Judiciary Committee.
I can tell you this, and Sean, it was backed up by Acting Deputy Director McCabe when he testified that a number of people within federal law enforcement a lot of them who were involved in the Russia investigation and into the Hillary Clinton service, you know, email server scandal, were mortified when he discussed the case.
I mean, he pretty much laid out all these reasons, and not all of them, but he laid out enough to show that there was something going on there and then said, well, we're not going to move forward with anything.
You're talking about Hillary Clinton now.
Yes, now I'm talking about Hillary Clinton.
So there's a lot of questions that Director Comey still needs to answer, even as a private citizen.
And the fact that he's going to be testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee as a private citizen and others have testified as private citizens should lead us to wonder why he won't answer these seven questions from the Judiciary Committee.
Well, let's go back to what you both write in the piece that he's using an excuse that is considered very unusual as a former FBI director by the senators that made the request.
And I don't know if people would understand what it means to go venue shopping.
But for example, I've made the case that liberals, especially in the case of vetting of refugees, have been out judge shopping and they file suits in jurisdictions where they believe the judges are liberal and more favorable to their political point of view and where the appeal will likely end up in the ninth or will definitely end up in the ninth circuit, which let's forget the fact that they're overturned by the Supreme Court about 80 plus percent of the time.
So venue shopping is a lot like judge shopping.
True, John Solomon or not?
Absolutely.
It's an effort to find the most favorable environment where you'll look best and not handle or get the worst questions.
And I think that's what the Senate Judiciary Committee members fear, that he's snubbing them and going to the intelligence committee.
The Judiciary Committee has some good questioners.
They've got Chuck Grassy.
They've got Dianne Feinstein.
They've got Lindsey Graham, who's not been shy about his criticism of Comey in recent days.
And the fact that he would ignore their questions and go to another venue tells me he's probably feeling he's going to get a better treatment at this other committee.
All right, when we come back, I want to ask both of you, now a second U.S. Senator has come out saying that he has reason to believe that he was spied on by Obama's surveillance team.
And we'll get back to the original story that you guys literally, you're unpealing a layer of an onion day by day, and we keep getting more information as the weeks go by.
And I think it's leading in a direction that is going to shock the American people by the time all is said and done.
Right, as we continue investigating reporters John Solomon and Sarah Carter with Circa News, they have been almost independently and solely responsible for unveiling so much information about the surveillance that has gone on in the country,
whether or not our intelligence agencies under the guise of national intelligence were spying on Americans during the Obama administration and whether or not a system has been designed and set up in terms of unmasking of American citizens and whether or not there's the leaking of intelligence and why there was such a great percentage increase in unmasking some 350 percent during the last presidential election cycle.
Now the new news we have today Sarah Carter is that like Rand Paul of Kentucky Lindsey Graham is saying that he has reason to believe that in fact he was surveilled and conversations he had with foreign leaders was picked up.
Yes, I mean this is coming from Senator Graham who you remember in the beginning I think if we can go back to March was at first kind of mocking Nunez and saying you know why is why is this Russia investigation going in this direction?
He should talk to all of us about what he was discussing inside the White House.
And he didn't seem to be quite on that same level of mindset when it came to the unmasking.
And the more that Lindsey Graham looked into this and the more he looked at what was happening, he became more involved and then actually saw that he may have been a victim himself, or believed to be a victim himself, of the unmasking.
And I think that that's quite telling.
It shows that they believe something very wrong was going on.
I mean, John and I have reported this with the FISC documents.
We've talked to a number of intelligence sources on this.
We were able to show that in our stories.
And now there's a lot of people looking into this and they're finding clues and evidence, some of which we don't even know because it's classified, and they're wanting answers too.
And Senator Graham is one of those.
Well, I mean, John, you're the one that keeps saying 300, 350% increase in unmasking in the presidential election cycle.
That means 2015 and 16.
For people that say we had any, it wasn't 2015.
I was at CPAC in March interviewing almost every presidential candidate.
It is a two-year cycle.
It was absolutely a two-year cycle this year.
No doubt about it.
This election was a long-running one.
Right.
So the reality is that is a dramatic increase.
Yeah.
My suspicion is that the Obama administration, by changing rules in 2011, the Executive Order 12333, made it possible to surveil more people shared with more agencies, which made the unmasking almost inevitable, but it seems to only be against Republicans and presidential candidates.
And I'm not seeing any similarity with Democrats.
Am I wrong in my observation?
Well, no Democrats have come out and said, I thought I was unmasked, but I think we're going to find out that members of both parties probably were.
We reported about a month ago that about as often as once a month, Congress is alerted that a member or a staffer of a member has been unmasked by the intelligence community.
That's a large frequency.
And I suspect when we get done, we're going to have members of both parties surprised at how commonplace and how widespread unmasking is.
And also how often names are being searched through the database.
I mean, the most important statistic that leads all this is before you can unmask, you have to search, right?
And you saw that 300, 400% increase in searches.
Somebody's doing an awful lot more looking at Americans' data in the NSA database.
And I think that's something that should concern us all.
I agree, too.
What do you think is next, Sarah?
We've got 30 seconds.
Where are we going now?
What is going to be, it seems to me if we get one big breakthrough, that this story is the biggest story in the history of the country.
Absolutely.
I think that we're going to continue to look into the unmasking.
I think more names are going to come out.
More information is going to come out.
And I also think we need to keep our eyes on the FBI and the other agencies and what was going on in there during these investigations.
I think we have a lot more coming, Sean.
In fact, I know we do.
Okay.
Thank you both.
The work you have done has been incredible.
Now, speaking of somebody that believes he was spied on by Obama's surveillance and our intelligence community, Senator Ram Paul, will check in with us next.
Disappear, that oceans would rise, that the sea level would rise, that there would be larger and more intense ways.
And all of that.
That has happened, Senator.
All of it has happened.
Yeah, but Jake, before man was even on the planet, before we even were burning fires, the oceans were 300 feet shallower.
When people walked across from Asia, probably 20,000, 30,000 years ago, maybe up to 100,000 years ago, the seas were 300 feet shallower.
That's why they could walk across the Bering Straits.
Are you really saying that man is not contributing to climate change?
I mean, is it not?
You know, what I'm saying, you know, what I'm saying, and this is the big argument that none of you guys get and nobody ever looks at, is how much is nature and how much is man.
I'm perfectly willing to admit that man can have an influence and that we should minimize our pollution.
But those who say that it is all man and don't acknowledge that the 4.5 billion-year-old planet has gone through massive climate change based on natural effects.
I don't know what that is.
It has gone through climate change, absolutely, but not to the degree that we've seen in the last century.
And let me just read this.
Let me read this from the NASA website.
Absolutely incorrect.
When you look at climate change, the most dramatic ice ages, the dramatic warming and cooling of the planet, all happened before man was even around for the most part.
And even when man was here, man was only burning fires.
So we have had dramatic, we've had carbon in the air 600 times what we have now.
And so it's gone up and down.
And I'm not saying we should forgive and discount pollution, but we should not be so alarmist that we're willing to give up all the American jobs based on computer modeling that has been notoriously inaccurate over the last few years.
I'm just going to read.
I just want to read this from the NASA website.
The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely, and they define that as greater than 95% probability, to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia.
So you can see that we change the NASA situation.
Why did we change the name from global warming to climate change?
Because there's some uncertainty now whether it's getting warmer or colder.
And I can tell you, if you look at the details of the modeling and the projections in the last 15 years, they've been altered almost every year because their modeling doesn't add up.
All these people saying we're going to have a 100-foot rise in our seas in the next 100 years, that kind of alarmism is not scientific.
And actually, if you read many of the people who do want to control pollution, they will tell you that that's nonsense.
And so a hundred-foot rise in the seas in 100 years, the seas are 300 feet higher now than they were when man came across the Bering Straits.
But that took thousands and thousands of years.
All right, that was Senator Ram Paul just a beatdown.
You know, CNN has gotten so bad, I mean, between the tweet this weekend and all right, everybody take your places, please.
Take your places, take your places.
Okay, yes, stage protest.
All right, three, two, one, action.
We're going to do a whole segment on TV about this tonight.
Also, Senator Ram Paul was the first U.S. Senator to warn us that, in fact, he has reason to believe that he was being spied on and surveilled and perhaps even unmasked by the Obama surveillance team,
which we now have noticed unmasking a 350 percent increase from 2015 to the end of the Obama administration in the middle of an election cycle, seemingly only against Republicans and members of the Trump campaign and Trump transition team.
And Senator Ram Paul joins us.
Now, you know what I couldn't understand about this whole Paris Climate Accord deal?
And also, Chris Wallace did a great job beating down Al Gore over the weekend, is we were going to lose up to 5 million jobs.
We would pay trillions of dollars in redistributing wealth to other countries.
China and I believe India both get a 10-year waiver, if not longer.
And, you know, we're talking about the biggest polluters.
And I'm just thinking we are the dumbest country sometimes to put ourselves in the position of losing jobs, not being competitive, and even taking more taxpayer dollars, not to take care of even Americans, but let's take care of the rest of the world when we can't even afford to balance our budget.
We're really dumb.
How are you?
Very good, Sean.
It's even worse than that.
You know, India will only start curbing their carbon footprint if we pay them.
They say, sure, we'll join the Paris Accord.
And if you give us a couple trillion dollars, then we'll install your equipment.
And even Iran has, you know, Iran's part of the Paris Accord.
That makes you really want to join, doesn't it?
Iran is part of the Paris Accord.
And if we give them $800 billion and free up a few more sanctions, then they'll do something about their carbon footprint.
It's all about Uncle Sam paying for it.
They all want our money is what they want.
They want our jobs.
And it was brave, bold, and the right thing to do for President Trump to get us the hell out of it.
You know, if it weren't for President Trump being elected and even the things that he has been able to do on his own have had a significant impact on the energy sector of our economy, which I think we've seen a lot of good signs in terms of the economy beginning to turn around, a slight blip last week with jobs that we could have done a little better with.
But overall, it's been very promising.
But just rolling back Obama-era regulations for the coal industry, I'm told that in states like yours, in Kentucky, it's having a boom effect, and people are doing particularly well in that industry as a result.
Yeah, I wouldn't put it quite that far.
I would say it's not nearly as dire, and there is some hope.
But it's really, we are really just hanging on by a thread as far as our coal industry goes.
But I will say, if we can get through a significant tax cut, I think a significant bold tax cut, we could get serious economic growth.
When Reagan cut the taxes in a dramatic fashion, we had 7% nominal growth in one year.
We haven't had a 7% GDP in 20 or 30 years now.
So we could really use that.
And Trump is once again being bold.
He wants to cut the corporate tax dramatically.
He wants to cut the personal income tax.
If you own a business, it's called a pass-through.
He wants to cut those taxes.
And he'll be fraught.
Unfortunately, the Republican establishment is already pushing back, and they want it to only be revenue neutral, which means it'll be a tax-shifting bill.
You shift tax from one group to the other, but the net result for the economy is zero.
His Trump plan, though, would leave $2 trillion in the hands of those who earned it in the private economy.
And I think that would be a real $2 trillion stimulus if we get the Trump tax plan.
Look, I know that you work in the so-called deliberative body in the Senate, and with all your decorum and so on and so forth, I think it's all a ruse in my own humble opinion.
Are you trying to say it's a swamp, Sean?
I can't believe you would call it that.
Yeah, you know, with all due respect, you're actually on my list of people I like in Congress, and there's not many of them.
And, you know, there's like three of you senators at this point that I think that actually believe in the Constitution, maybe four.
But my worry is your buddy McConnell, with all due respect to your senator, fellow senator from Kentucky.
I mean, are we going to get a repeal and replace bill done?
Are we going to get this economic plan done?
You know, are we going to get the money to build the wall?
Are we going to, you know, I'm sorry, but I don't have a lot of patience for Congress's pace right now.
The first thing we need to understand is that Obamacare is an utter disaster, has destroyed health care.
It has led to monopoly and rising prices.
And we've got to let people opt out of it.
We've got to let people exit out of it.
We've got to find a place to let them go so they can be protected from Obamacare.
Unfortunately, once again, we do have a certain number of Republicans in the House and the Senate who decided they didn't want to repeal it.
They wanted to keep it.
In fact, one of the plans out there is really the subtitle is, if you like Obamacare, you can keep it.
And so it says to California, yeah, you can keep it, and the rest of the country will pay for your Obamacare if you want to keep it.
I think there's no conservative in the country who ran on that plan.
And if that's what we're going to do, I'm really, really disappointed.
Well, where are we now going to, where are we going in the Senate?
I know that when Mark Meadows and some of these other House groups were putting together the bill that passed by one vote, that they were also working very closely with senators like Cruz and Lee and even you, I kept hearing.
Is there a way to thread this needle and begin the process of dismantling this?
Been having some discussions about it, but here's what.
Well, that doesn't make my heart warm and fuzzy to hear that you people are still talking about it 10 years later.
Yeah, well, here's what I'll tell you.
I presented to the working group last week, and I presented, and I decided I would compare the Obamacare subsidies to the Ryan care subsidies.
So I've added all the ones up for the next six years in Obamacare, and it'd be $624 billion.
I added all the ones in the Ryan plan and it'd be $574 billion.
So it's less than a 10% increase.
In fact, they're keeping 90% of the Obamacare subsidies.
That's not what we ran on.
We've got to let the American people and the conservatives know that we ran on, well, they know it, we ran on repealing Obamacare, but they need to let the people in Washington know that they were elected to repeal the darn thing.
They weren't elected to keep 90% of the subsidies.
No.
Well, I mean, so where is it?
So you're basically saying it's going to end?
Are you saying that we're not going to get it done?
I think something's going to happen.
I just can't tell you what the product is.
There will be a vote.
There's no way it fizzles out without a vote.
We will vote on something.
If it's like the House plan, I think unfortunately it's going to keep 90% of the subsidies.
It's going to federalize the purchase of insurance.
It will put a $14,000 floor beneath all insurance.
Every family of five in the country will get $14,000 from the government, which means there'll never be any insurance sold in the country for less than $14,000.
It also means if you have a working-class job now, but you do have insurance, your employer may dump you off into the government subsidized market like Obamacare because $14,000 is a lot of money to get from the government.
And if you're an employer and you have some wage earners that are just enough that you're getting them health insurance, why would you keep doing that if the government can do it?
So it sets up all these bad incentives again.
And we've got all these people over-promising, saying, oh, premiums are going to go down.
Look, I practiced medicine for 20-some odd years.
Premiums never went down before Obamacare or after or during Obamacare.
You know, I love these cooperatives.
I keep telling you about my buddy, Dr. Josh Umber.
He's such a good guy, and I just love what he's doing.
And I think that's one way.
I think medical savings accounts are another.
And I certainly think that, you know, if we have discretionary powers with the Health and Human Services Secretary, if that's part of the answer, it's not perfect, but I'll take it.
We'll continue.
Stay right there, Senator.
We'll come back in a second.
More with Senator Ram Paul, and he's been spied on, apparently.
Maybe he'll give us all the details if we've been spied on.
Hey, listen, 1.3% in April, which is now signaling that sellers may be willing to negotiate more.
A good sign, by the way, if you're a first-time homebuyer.
Look, maybe you've been renting too long, and whenever you can get out of the rental mode, my suggestion is do it, you know, because it'll be the biggest investment you make in your life in all likelihood.
We continue with Senator Ram Paul.
All right, so if you're telling me that you think something's going to happen with health care, and you think are we going to have by the end of the year a repeal and replace bill of some kind?
Are we going to have by the end of the year the president's economic plan passed?
Are we going to have by the end of the year money appropriated to build the wall?
Are we going to have more energy independence by the end of the year?
Those are my four priorities.
And of course, I prefer to be safer.
I think the answer is yes, you're going to have something on all of those fronts.
And also, you know, we've started out with significant regulatory reform.
We've approved, of course, it.
We have a conservative cabinet, most conservative EPA director probably in my lifetime.
We've gotten a lot of good things done on Obamacare.
I still want to be surprised that Republicans will come together and reveal it.
My feeling now is that the final bill will be repeal and replace with Obamacare Light, and I'm not happy about that.
And I'm fighting to try to make sure it's a repeal.
Trying to make it better.
At the end of the day, is it a start that gets us further along the line and we can finish it as we go?
Is that something that's possible?
I'm not trying to compromise here.
We've got to move in the right direction, Senator.
Here's what I've told them.
If I want 100% repeal, if they offer me 80% repeal, I'll take that.
But if they offer me 80% repeal that also creates new federal programs and subsidies and keeps the Obamacare subsidies, I'm not sure I can vote affirmatively to keep a federal entitlement program that really doesn't have any pay for and will simply demise and our debt accumulation.
I just can't be for that.
We used to be against the federal program for buying insurance.
We used to be against federal control of the health care system.
So if it's partial repeal and it's not complete, I could vote for that.
But can I vote for a replacement that includes getting the federal government more heavily involved in areas that we don't have enough money?
That's going to be a tough, tough thing for me to do.
Listen, I'm not asking you to give up your principles, nor do I want to give them up at all.
I'm really pissed off that we had 100 Republicans in the Senate that had promised us all these years that they're really for repealing and replacing, and they were all full of crap, Senator.
They all lied to us.
We voted 60 times, Sean.
No, they voted 60.
Those were show votes.
Those were phony votes.
They didn't mean anything.
That's what gets me 60 times.
And now we're not willing to do it when we have the power.
I'm telling you.
Talk to Mark Meadows.
Mark Meadows will tell you these people had no intention of ever doing that, ever.
And that's sad.
It's sad.
It's pathetic.
It's beyond disappointing.
You know, I just feel like we were betrayed, to be honest, by the Republican Party.
But with that said, I mean, we've got a lot of work to do to save this country and turn this thing around.
It's not over.
There still are some voices, some conservative voices on the House and the Senate side trying to make this a repeal bill.
And the replacement part, I said I was for a replacement, but I was for replacement that included more freedom.
It included the freedom to buy an expensive insurance to join a co-op, the freedom to choose what kind of insurance I wanted, the freedom to be in the group insurance pool instead of in the individual market.
Those are freedoms that require getting the government out of the way.
Unfortunately, many of my colleagues think replacement means replace with something similar, but just maybe not quite as expensive as Obamacare, but not really fixing the problem.
All right, Senator Ram Paul, as always, thanks for being with us.
Would you do me a favor?
You talk to McConnell and tell him to work a little harder, please, and move a little faster.
Sean Hannity.
We're all doing it.
I think there will be something forward.
I just can't promise you what it's going to be yet, but I'm going to try to make it a repeal bill.
Yeah, just tell them Hannity says, hi, can you please move a little faster, please?
Pretty, please.
Thanks, Sean.
All right, 800-941-Sean, our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program news roundup.
Information overload.
We'll have the latest out of London.
I mean, I am so angry about things that came out over the weekend.
My head is about to burst.
And we'll get to all of that in your calls coming up in the next hour.
Patrick Poole will join us from PJ Media straight ahead.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Everybody keep running.
Go!
Go!
Get out!
I can't tell you anything at the moment.
All I need is to do is move towards safety.
Safety is that way, thank you.
Brindisa restaurant, yeah?
Tapestrandis.
Yeah, on the borough high street on the corner by High Street, Support Street.
Yeah, two unlocked police behind the X5, the black X-Flag.
Well, they get back.
Three shots in there.
No, there's a crushed van outside Brindisa.
So it looks like that's obviously where vans here, Sam.
It's no, on Support Street, so on the line.
But look, why are these little vanionists through?
Because there's shots getting fired and bang, bang, bang.
But we've just been dashed back by the police.
People, you know, running, screaming, you know, and then the police sirens came in.
And then they started to tell us to evacuate.
And then they told everyone to evacuate.
So as we looked out, you know, we were on the third floor.
As we looked out our window, you know, we were seeing people running and evacuating.
I picked up some passengers.
There was two passengers.
Apparently they came out of the black and blue restaurant and they described how they described it to me was preventing the guys from getting into the restaurant.
She managed to hold them all for a few seconds, but then I think they're overpowered.
So they managed to escape in the rear door.
We also heard reports about an accident where people were jumping off the bridge in order to save themselves.
Did you witness that?
Yes, when I was below, I saw at least one person jump off the bridge, presumably to avoid the truck that's coming through.
The area's being evacuated.
We have all been told to stay inside, keep the doors locked.
Police are all over the streets.
Someone has been stabbed on Southwark Street.
And now we're waiting to see what happens.
We've been told they will be all dealt with within half an hour, but we need to stay in here and we cannot leave.
All right, some of the sounds from this weekend, the latest terror attack in London.
If you missed it, all white rental van plowing into the sidewalk of the southbound London Bridge, mowing down pedestrians.
And the van then crashes outside the Barrelboy and Banker pub.
And then three terrorists exit the van going on a stabbing spree through the historic borough market with witnesses hearing them shouting, this is for Allah.
And then about eight minutes into the attack, cops kill the attackers, but that is obviously after so much mayhem and after what happened in Manchester as well, where the 22 people were killed.
ISIS claiming responsibility for the attack on Saturday and cops arrested 12 people and now we're finding out from the BBC that in fact, oh, by the way, the London terrorists, one of them at least, appeared in a documentary, The Jihadis Next Door.
So they knew about all of this.
How is this ever possible?
How stupid can we be?
Now, keep that in mind as you listen to this genius, mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and after the London bridge attacks as well, no reason to be alarmed, none whatsoever.
London is one of the safest places ever.
People should remain calm and vigilant, carry about, carry on their normal business.
The threat level remains at Sevir.
And that's assessed by JTAC, who are independent intelligence experts.
Severe means an attack across the country is still highly likely.
And so we've got all be vigilant.
If we see anything suspicious or worried about anybody, please report it to the authorities.
Now, this is the second attack of this kind in London, the kind of low-intensity attack, where you've got somebody using a vehicle and then using knives.
You know, how do you stop this kind of thing from happening in London?
Is there a way?
Well, just like terrorists are constantly evolving, finding new ways to disrupt us, harm us, attack us, the police and experts, and all of us are finding new ways to keep us safe.
Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days.
No reason to be alarmed.
One of the things the police and all of us need to do is make sure we're as safe as we possibly can be.
I'm reassured that we are one of the safest global cities in the world, if not the safest global city in the world.
But we always evolve and review ways to make sure that we remain as safe as we possibly can.
Now the Prime Minister weighed in.
Way too much tolerance for extremism in this country.
You think if they have a British television special called the Jihadi Next Door, maybe they should have removed that person from the country.
Just a crazy thought by me.
I don't know why.
I'm just thinking that might be an intelligent thing to do.
Third, while we need to deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online, we must not forget about the safe spaces that continue to exist in the real world.
Yes, that means taking military action to destroy ISIS in Iraq and Syria, but it also means taking action here at home.
While we have made significant progress in recent years, there is, to be frank, far too much tolerance of extremism in our country.
So we need to become far more robust in identifying it and stamping it out across the public sector and across society.
That will require some difficult and often embarrassing conversations.
But the whole of our country needs to come together to take on this extremism.
And we need to live our lives not in a series of separated, segregated communities, but as one truly united kingdom.
All right, Theresa May, the Prime Minister, joining us now, Patrick Poole, national security correspondent, one of our friends from PJ Media, leading voice in understanding known wolves and their threats to Western society.
And with this attack in London, it's more apparent than ever that, okay, A, people like Hannity have been right on the Islamization of all of Europe.
And as long as the UK remains part of the European Union, that means people are free to travel all throughout France, all throughout Belgium, all throughout Europe, all throughout Germany.
They can go anywhere, anytime they want.
So the migrant issues in other countries will greatly impact Great Britain, which I'm sure is one of the main reasons that Brexit happened, but has not yet been implemented.
And then people attacking the president.
It's unbelievable when the president's saying, well, we need to vet people from other countries whose values contradict our deeply held constitutional values.
Patrick, welcome back.
Sean, thanks for having me.
You know, I'd love to just have you on one of these days to say, hey, Patrick, what's going on?
How are you?
Let's grab a beer.
Did you see the game last night, but it's never going to happen, is it?
It's not.
And Sean, you've had me on here for the past several years, and I've been screaming about this known wolf terror problem.
And here we are, we're seeing these normal wolf terror attacks, if not every week, every couple of days.
We had the incident this weekend that, as you just said in the intro, you know, they literally made a documentary about this terror cell.
They spent Channel 4 spent two years making this the jihadis next door documentary.
And we've got the media and the police sitting there scratching their heads.
Well, you know, we don't know their motive, you know, as they're sitting there stabbing people saying this is for Allah.
And we even have it today, in fact.
The Orlando Sentinel has an article today.
Well, we really don't know the motive of the pulse nightclub killer.
Literally during the attack, he posted his allegiance to ISIS on Facebook, and then he called a TV station live saying, I'm pledging allegiance to ISIS.
And here you have the New York Times and the Orlando Sentinel and all these media people gaslighting this issue.
I mean, it's fraud, trying to bury the motive and trying to bury the problem.
I am very convinced that there's almost half the world that it's insane.
And by insanity, I mean this.
They are unwilling to accept the evil in our time.
And I keep trying to give some historical perspective, and I use the same analogy.
Maybe I need to come up with a new one.
But in the last century, when I investigated for my book, Deliver Us from Evil, Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism, while I was talking about this denial, it seems so many people I know seem incapable.
Governments seem incapable of acknowledging the real threat of this radical Islamic mindset that wants to advance a caliphate, which is convert or die, how serious these people are, how widespread these views are.
And in this sense, it is the modern day version of an ism.
Communism, Stalin, Russia, millions slaughtered.
Nazism, millions slaughtered, innocent human beings.
Fascism, Imperial Japan, and 100 million plus total.
And I guess people think this can't happen again.
And I take Iran seriously when they say they want to blow Israel off the map.
What are people missing here?
Well, our friend Andy McCarthy, former federal prosecutor, prosecuted the blind sheikh in the World Trade Center case back in the 90s.
His first book, Whistleblindness, I think is very apt because it's not some benign neglect.
I mean, we have the media and we have our political elites who intentionally, I mean, at this point, it's clearly intentional that they're trying to bury facts.
And Sean, you know, you mentioned historical comparisons.
I really can't think of anything, any time in history where we've seen this widespread, I mean, almost global on its scale, willingness to shield themselves from the truth and try and perpetuate this gross unreality onto the rest of us.
Yeah, no, it is an unreality.
And it's, you know, the problem is, is that the risk is so bad, so dangerous, so real.
I really, you know, I don't know why in my mind, it's not beyond imagining, sadly, you know, waking up one morning and shoulder-fired missile, surface-to-air missiles taking out X number of commercial airlines at a time.
It's not unimaginable that a terror group gets a hold of some nuclear device and kills hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
You know, all of this is very real to me, but it doesn't seem real to others, or others just think they're going to be nice and nice it away over something.
One of the most disturbing things is that if when and if one of those incidents happens, it's going to be more than likely that those jihadists are going to have American-made weapons that they obtain from one of our allies, whether it be Turkey, whether it be Qatar, you know, or that had been sold by our Syrian rebel friends.
It's going to be U.S. weapons that end up killing U.S. American citizens.
All right, stay right there.
Patrick Poole with PJ Media 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Fourth, we have a robust counter-terrorism strategy that has proved successful over many years.
But as the nature of the threat we face becomes more complex, more fragmented, more hidden, especially online, the strategy needs to keep up.
So, in light of what we are learning about the changing threat, we need to review Britain's counter-terrorism strategy to make sure the police and security services have all the powers they need.
And if we need to increase the length of custodial sentences for terrorism-related offenses, even apparently less serious offenses, that is what we will do.
Since the emergence of the threat from Islamist-inspired terrorism, our country has made significant progress in disrupting plots and protecting the public.
But it is time to say enough is enough.
Everybody needs to go about their lives as they normally would.
Our society should continue to function in accordance with our values.
But when it comes to taking on extremism and terrorism, things need to change.
All right, Theresa May, obviously, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and we continue with Patrick Poole of PJ Media.
You know, if you've spent enough time abroad, as I have, that I feel I have a greater understanding of the nature of this threat that other people don't have.
If you look at, you know, I read last week that Islam will now replace, I guess, Christianity as the world's number one religion in terms of number of participants.
What percentage of those do you believe are radicalized if you believe the number 1.3 billion Muslims or whatever the number happens to be?
I mean, there are good people that I know that want no part of this distorted view of Islam, but then there are so few people that speak out against it out of fear or, you know, that they'll be claimed to be an apostate or a traitor and they'll get killed in some countries.
Well, Sean, I just got back from Egypt here a couple weeks ago and where I was working with my Muslim colleagues on trying to defeat the Muslim Brotherhood.
And over in Egypt, and I reported at PJ Media, some of the interviews I conducted over there where the lines between the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS are very transparent.
I mean, there's a lot of overlap there in Egypt between ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood.
And the fact is, in 2013, we had Egypt, the largest Arab country in the world, rise up in the largest protests in recorded human history.
30-plus million people taking the streets to overthrow the Muslim Brotherhood.
And you had the Obama administration, whose main effort was Muslim outreach and tell Egypt to pack sand because they had invested in the Muslim Brotherhood to bring democracy to the Middle East.
And they were upset for Egypt overthrowing the Brotherhood.
And, you know, I think we need to be supporting allies like Egypt.
You know, we see that some of our Arab allies are moving against Qatar for their support of terrorism here within the past 24 hours.
These are things that we need to be applauding.
But instead, we see a lot of people attacking them because they don't want to buy into the leftist narrative that Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood are the true Democrats and moderates and they're going to bring peace in our time.
Oh, I think that's the perfect example, and it never worked.
Patrick Poole, thank you.
When we come back, so much to get to today, including, yes, how corrupt CNN.
Everybody, please, please, places, take your places.
Okay, fake news, three, two, one, action.
We'll explain next.
All right, where's our fake news official introduction?
Then we'll hit the phones, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to join us.
From NBC News World Headquarters in New York, this is NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt.
This is the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley.
From ABC News World Headquarters, this is ABC World News Tonight with David Muir.
This is meet the press with Chuck Tucker.
All right, it just never, ever, ever needs to end.
Bill Maher is one of the good guys in this fight against Trump right now.
I believe that he is anyway.
And I feel like, you know, you know, not to deflect from what he said, because he already apologized, but Donald Trump and his people that ran his real estate agent, they actually practiced racism.
Yes, they did.
They discriminated against black people in housing.
To me, that is a much more egregious sin than saying any kind of word, you know, to me.
And I think that let's not lose perspective about comedians and words and things that comedians are saying, because there seems to be this assault on comedians.
And within the Kathy Griffith case, which I think you're going to bring her up, there's a lot of overkill going on right now.
Okay, she made a mistake.
She said something, she did something stupid.
She said she's sorry.
And now they're piling on her like she's Charles Manson.
Get over it.
Yeah, regardless of the offense, because that word to me, I could never utter.
President Trump has gone after you directly when talking about this issue of climate change.
I want you to, I want to give you an opportunity to respond to something he said.
Al Gore wants to eliminate the combustion engine, essentially, and flies around the world on jets and pushes plans that would help create China, make it stronger.
This is a criticism we hear from conservatives all the time when talking about people like you or Elon Musk or Leonardo DiCaprio that you yourself have a large carbon footprint.
Yeah, well, I don't have a private jet, and what carbon emissions come from my trips on Southwest Airlines are offset.
I live a carbon-free lifestyle to the maximum extent possible.
You know, when you go back to 2010, when the Department of Homeland Security came out with a report talking about the threat of right-wing extremism, and it's a huge threat.
These are terrorists.
These are violent people.
You know, the Rush Limbaughs and members of Congress and Sean Hannity's all came running out saying, they're saying conservatives are violent.
Well, what just happened?
In order to attack Obama, they said conservatives are right-wing terrorists.
They told these right-wing extremists, you are one of us.
And it's not a surprise that the statistics show that when the Republicans control at least one house of Congress, this kind of violence goes up.
Because it's not just Trump.
Nobody is repudiating it.
We cannot have our politicians telling those that we represent, violence is okay.
If you criticize the right-wing terrorists, that's bad.
Racism is okay.
Whatever you want to say is okay.
Just don't be Islamic.
That's kind of where we are now.
Ah, yes, more fake news.
You know, so I was out on Twitter earlier today.
I actually took a break this weekend.
And by a break, I mean, I just didn't work all weekend like I usually do.
And when did I talk to you, Lynn?
I guess I talked to you last night and I said, anything happening?
And you laughed at me.
Why did you laugh at me?
Because there's always something happening.
And a lot of times you know even before me.
I know, but I but you got to admit, I mean, I worked the five freaking days I was off more than I wanted to.
No, no, you were on an abrupt vacation enjoying yourself and not paying attention to anything at all.
By the way, if you noticed how I sign off some days on TV, well, if they let me, I'll be back tomorrow.
I am at the behest of the channel.
And it's hilarious, the reaction.
It's like, anyway, did you like my tweets today?
I love your tweets today.
I think they're pretty nice.
I don't know who Colin, is it Colin Robertson is?
But anyway, they tweeted out, I guess, yesterday or the day before, I don't remember, and I just saved it because I wasn't going to go on Twitter and start doing the things that I do.
And they actually show, I think it's New York City, a protest and the news coverage of CNN.
And you're watching them.
All right, now everybody get ready.
Take your places here.
Take your places.
And they line it up.
And, you know, you can see it's like quiet on the set.
Places, everyone, please.
Are you talking about the CNN fake news setup?
Yeah.
And so I tweeted now the picture.
It goes on for two and a half minutes of them setting everybody up for the shot.
The sad part is that it's like, here they are in London, a place that has suffered two terrible terror attacks in less than two weeks.
And instead of just going out and talking to people and getting the truth, they want to manufacture news.
They got like 12 people that are Muslim that are saying this is a big Muslim protest, right?
Right.
And they're like in a semicircle and the camera guys are not.
No, no, no.
They're not in a semicircle until the director or whoever's there tells them where to stand and how to get shots.
And he gives them the signs.
And gives him the sign.
All right, everybody hold up your signs.
It's hilarious.
So I tweeted out: all right, quiet on the set, quiet on the set.
Places, everybody.
Places, please.
All right, fake news in three, two, one, action.
And I'm dying laughing as I'm tweeting this out.
Then, did you?
There's a daily caller piece.
I'd seen this independently.
You know, the guy, James Earl Jones.
Oh, you know, if you're in radio, it's like Scott Shannon.
Scott, Hannity, Shannon, how you doing?
What's going on?
Listen, loved your report yesterday.
Just telling you.
Anyway, be cool, man.
Talk later.
Or he'll call me and say, Hannity, Shannon, will you just shut up once in a while so I can hear the caller?
All right?
Just shut up.
All right.
Love you.
Bye.
Just love the guy.
And he's, you know, he invented Morning Zoo Radio.
The guy is a genius.
But they got these booming voices.
And that voice.
This is CNN.
All those years.
It just, the voice defined the network.
This is CNN.
Working through the broadcasting system.
And by the way, that's also the voice of Darth Vader, if I'm not mistaken, James Earl Jones.
He's got what we call in the business a great set of pipes.
And it's just amazing.
I mean, when you think of angels singing in the heavens, somebody with that type of power behind their voice is just amazing to me.
I don't know if I picture Darth Vader Vader welcoming to the Pearly Gates, but you know, I think that's well, I guess to each his own.
But come on, that voice is amazing.
Yeah, I mean, I might want him to sing me, you know, a sexy song one night, but I don't know if I want him welcome me into heaven.
I don't know.
Well, because maybe you have the Darth Vader image.
Anyway, so I write on Twitter, I put up a thing.
You got this CNN host who calls Trump a piece of.
And I'm like, wow, really?
I mean, that's what you're going to say.
This is CNN.
This is what CNN, what's his name?
The person's name.
Reza Aslan apologizing for calling the president a POS.
And I'm thinking, really?
And the guy doesn't get fired.
I mean, where is the Soros?
And don't forget, Sean, Ethan and Lauren are reminding me to make sure you say it is that this is the same man who ate brains.
Yeah, I forgot that part too.
But he's tweeted out other stuff too.
I mean, he's tweeted crazy stuff.
And, you know, calling the president an a-hole.
He's done that and gotten away with it.
Then he called me a POS too.
I don't know when he did that back in May.
I just, gee, I must have missed it.
I don't even, and I'm like, wow, he's still working at CNN.
Why don't we just hire Kathy Griffin back now?
All right, let's get to our busy telephones.
As we say, hi to my buddy and Tavares.
You didn't call to say something nice to me, did you?
After the crappy calls you've made the last three times we've had you on, you've been horrible.
No matter what.
All those calls had nothing but love wrapped around them.
And Sean, for the last, I'm not sure, nine years, you've been there for me.
I'm talking about when I lost my job twice, same job twice, before I met my wife, when she became my fiancé, when we got married, when we had a child.
And I gave you such crap about living in sin, didn't I?
You put Chastity Belt around me when I was.
Yeah, I did.
Then you paid thousands of dollars to put me through truck driving school.
I've been on the road for the last two weeks.
Then I hear that my man, my best friend, is under attack and they're attacking my main man, Sean Hannity.
And I look at what they were attacking you for.
And see, Sean, I'm the type of friend that you need to fight for you.
Because, see, you can fight, but see, you still have to have your gloves on.
I don't have to have gloves on to protect you, Sean.
I bring out my teeth.
I bring out my fingers.
I bring out everything and my knees, my elbows, the movie tie.
I know you say that you can roll a little.
I can roll, man.
I trained for an hour and a half today.
I can roll.
Listen, I hate to say it.
Listen, you don't want to mess with me.
I'm pretty tough now that I've been training for six years.
But listen, I want to say something to you.
I'm so proud of you because you and I made a deal.
You know what?
You did struggle for a while.
And I was watching you struggle, and we got to know each other a little bit on the radio.
And I gave you a hard time about living in sin.
And, you know, then you're having your child, and I was really happy for you.
You should have made me the godfather.
I'm going to be the godfather really soon, actually.
I'm a great godfather, and I'm a generous godfather, so you totally blew it.
But I'm going to tell you something.
I'm proud.
All I did with you is say, all right, listen, I'm going to give you the opportunity, but you got to give me a promise that you're going to do your job.
And I knew this with my own son.
I mean, that's the deal I make with my own son.
I'm going to give you what you want, but this is what I expect back.
And it's not that I'm being, I'm not giving things with strings attached, but you did your job.
You got it done.
You've changed the entire trajectory of your life, and I'm proud of you.
I'm so happy for you because that to me is awesome.
Listen, that's one reason why I can't take, I feel as though I'm the only one that can attack you, but at least I do it to your face and with love.
I mean, the last time you call in, you're just trashing me, just trashing me, throwing me down the stairs.
I can't take it when I hear other people trashing you and attacking you.
Well, they're trying to get me.
Listen, they tried to take my head off and get me fired.
We're not going to have that.
The only reason, I'm going to tell you something.
The only reason I'm here today, and I mean this with all my heart, is because this audience stuck up for me.
Honestly, I don't know.
It would have been a very big hit over nothing.
And this is how these liberal fascists operate.
Now, you and I don't agree politically.
You come on this program, you give me a hard time, but at the end of the day, you get your views, I get mine, and we're still friends.
I don't know why it can't be like that with everybody.
Sean, I speak to, I like to listen to conservative radio.
I listen to everybody.
And I'm not sure why people aren't tolerant.
I can listen to people of view, but the way that they're coming at you got me mad.
You know what?
Do not give me the harp.
Don't give me the harp.
But I have officially, I'm not a Democrat anymore.
I switched parties.
I'm an independent because of hypocrisy.
How are you going to attack?
How are they going to attack you about a news story when they're going about a news story about Russia that's unconfirmed sources and they're pushing that, but they're still advertising on those shows?
That's why the hypocrisy, I'm upset.
I don't like the way they're trying to go for your neck, and I'm here to protect you.
Just unleash me, and they're trying to pull out.
You know who should have pulled out?
Their father should have pulled out.
That's who should have pulled out.
Come on, man.
That's what the liberals said about Trump.
Will you stop?
You're going to get me in trouble now.
Why are you doing this to your buddy?
No, it's their fault.
It's their fault.
They're wounding me up.
They're attacking my friend, my best friend, my son's only white uncle.
You know what I mean?
Well, when are you going to come to me?
All right, I got to.
I got to tell you, I love you, but you're also trying to kill me at the same time because I get held responsible for everything callers say as if it's my point of view.
All right, here's the thing, though.
I want to say this.
I want you to bring your family to New York one day and come see my TV show as long as I still have one.
So, you work it out with Linda, and let me know, all right?
But listen, listen, I'm going to speak through you.
The messages, the tweets, the Facebook messages, the social media engagement with MediaEqualizer.com, and people's supportive messages to me.
It's taken me to a different place in terms of my drive, my desire, my motivation.
I'm so re-energized, and I have this level of appreciation that I've never had before.
And I'm very humbled by it all.
And I just can't say thank you enough, except I'm going to say this: I am working on a way to say thank you that I can't describe now.
It is just something cool that I'm going to try to put together.
All right, that's going to wrap everything up for today.
I've got three monologues tonight.
I've got to get out of my system.
Number one is the terror threat in London, the attacks against the president for wanting to protect us, and how awful, god awful, the media was this weekend, including by everybody at NBC.
We also have a whole segment on the credibility crisis at CNN.
Oh, the presidents of POS.
And then, of course, they're orchestrating fake news.
We have Michelle Malcolm weighing in on that.
We'll preview the Russia conspiracy Comey's testimony with Sarah Carter and John Solomon tonight.
The latest on Now It's Becoming Common to show pictures of the president beheaded and the Bill Maher controversy.
10 Eastern Fox.
See you back here tomorrow.
