Is there really anything happy about the world is going mad and it's going insane?
And you know, it was a book written years ago by radio host Art Bell about the quickening, the quick everything is so fast paced now.
It's almost in biblical terms the way things feel like they're on unfolding and evolving every single solitary day.
And it's like, you know, just think in your own life, oh, I'm on my text, oh, I'm on my email, ah, I'm on my phone, oh, I'm here.
You know, it's an incredible pace.
I'd never I remember back when I started in radio.
My first professional job was in Huntsville, Alabama.
Uh yes, I was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame last night, but I couldn't be there because I had to work last night.
I we had all planned as a team to go there.
And so I'm making it up to my entire radio team because they and oh I had invited all the people that had hired me throughout the years to go, and it was you know supposed to be a big night.
Um I heard Bernard McGurk got in.
I didn't know he got in.
That's awesome.
Good for him.
And Robin Quivers, who works for Stern got in.
It was pretty cool.
Uh what's his name?
I must sent me his well, I wish I could have been there.
I'm glad I'm not there speech, which was pretty funny.
Uh anyway, but when I started, I remember, okay, well, what were my news sources?
I remember I had Prodigy online long before I had two twin, you know, five and a half inch floppy discs that I'd throw into this dual disk drive, and and basically it was more of a word document thing for me.
It's not like the computer today.
Al Gore hadn't really created the internet as we know it.
So my news sources were literally local papers.
I'd go to I go buy tons of magazines to look for ideas and and just pick up whatever I can pick up wherever I can pick it up.
I mean, you know, now I have I literally I should take a picture and send this out, all the information I have on my desk.
And we have three big exclusive reports here today.
One, we have Ed Klein, investigative reporter.
He wrote an all the brand new book.
It's an investigative report, all out war, the plot to destroy Trump.
He's got some really big bombshell news that we're gonna break here on the program.
Uranium One, the dossier.
Well, now, of course, we have Clinton stealing the election.
I'm gonna get to that in a second.
He'll join us today.
Bo Bergdahl uh will join us in light of the news about him today.
Gets what, 300,000.
Uh, what's that?
What are you saying?
No, not no, I know we don't have Bo Bergdahl.
Did I say we have Bo Bergdall?
I said we have news about Bo Bergall.
Anyway, so we'll get to that later in the program uh today in the course of things.
Corey Feldman, have you are you watching this pedophilia stuff emerging in Hollywood?
This is shocking.
We're not going to ignore this story.
You know, you got another you got Kevin Spacey now.
They canceled that show that they had on Net Netflix, uh House of Cards.
And, you know, I always thought that movie that he did, American Beauty, is that the name of that movie?
He was so creepy like a father of a teenage girl and in love with the teenage girl's best friend, and they had these bizarre scenes in this whole thing.
Now he's got claim after claim after claim.
This on type uh of Harvey uh whatever his name is, Harvey Weiss, what's the name?
Weisman Weinstein, something, I don't know.
Uh Weissman is the attorney in the other case.
That's how busy we are with stories.
Anyway, now people saying accusing him of rape and petitions going out.
I mean, I I've never seen more things unfolding in my life regarding this issue ever.
Corey Feldman has been saying it for years that in fact he himself that Hollywood was a massive area of pedophilia and that he had been abused.
So we'll get to that exclusive in the course of the show today.
Uh, also.
You know, one of the things I I'm gonna plug my movie in this sense, I'm not gonna spend any time on it.
But one of the reasons I wanted to do a movie is because Hollywood has nothing but contempt for conservative values and Christian values.
And they why?
Because they how do we know?
They make fun of us in the movies, number one.
You see them at their award shows, number two.
Number three, then you see the products that they give us all the time, the formulaic sex violence, and then of course, we'll give you Iron Man 29.
I think there's a new Iron Man out this weekend.
Or we'll give you Spider-Man 67.
It's all for Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie falls in love with so and so.
You know, occasionally you get some good action movies.
You get American Soldier was a great movie, or I do like the uh what's the ones with Matt Damon that he does those oh the Born Ultimatum.
I love I love those kind of movies.
They're pretty good.
But this is different.
And this is a movie.
I got a note last night from a from a mother, a grandmother, and a note.
They actually sent me a video and their reaction, they were all crying at this movie.
They all said it touched them deeply, and so many people said it's the best movie they had seen in a decade.
And that's why we only had 373 theaters as an as an independent company because we didn't want Hollywood involvement.
That's the bottom line.
Wanted to maintain our independence.
And we did, and now this week, I think we're over 700 theaters because it did so well thanks to all of you.
Uh, and I'd only ask that if you want to go see it, it's on Hannity.com, find a theater near you.
If you did like it, I hope you'll tell your friends, because we don't have any money for advertising.
You know, we're not buying in the trades, written newspapers, nothing.
We just, you know, that's why this has been such a phenomenal breakout.
And um, and it accomplished everything I wanted it to accomplish, which is touching people's hearts and minds and emotions and their souls.
And it's a movie you can take your whole family to.
Maybe if you saw it last week, take your take grandma, take your mom and dad, take your kids.
And it is a kid-friendly movie.
But I do warn you, bring tissues, because everybody, guys are telling me they were crying like babies in this movie.
And it just has an ending you're never gonna expect or anticipate in a message that's really it's so contemporary, it's not like what you think it is until you see it.
I I hope you like it.
Um now I want to get to something that is amazing on the surface of it, especially in light of the fact that the mainstream media in this country, last night we got news about I think one of the biggest scandals politically in American history.
And it is breathtaking.
Donna Brazil, the former interim DNC chair, remember on the eve of the DNC conventions, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, she bails out after the wiki leaks, emails come out showing that, oh, uh, among other things, that she had in fact been in the tank for Hillary Clinton, and that this whole thing had been rigged and the whole thing had been fixed.
We always talked about the super delegates, that made us suspicious.
Then the emails pushed it over the top.
But the smoking gun evidence never came out until yesterday.
Next week, Donna Brazil is gonna drop her new book.
And Donna Brazil found that smoking gun evidence.
And it had enough integrity in this case to stand up and say this isn't right.
She had promised the party, she had promised Bernie Sanders a full accounting when she was the interim chair that she would find out if there had been the if the fix had been in an election.
Just stand back.
Imagine Donald Trump being accused of fixing an election.
Anyway, she then found the evidence.
And she, in other words, she found direct evidence that showed the whole Democratic primary process was rigged and stolen by Hillary to keep the nomination from ever going to Bernie Sanders.
And she made this in her new book, which is out next week.
Now, this is something we've been telling you and suspecting, and President Trump has been suspecting for some time.
And we've been right.
Donna Brazil describes how she was first tasked with investigating the Democratic National Committee after these hacked emails that resulted in the firing of Wasserman Schultz on the eve of the pro of the convention.
And whether or not there were there was any evidence, because the email suggested there was Clinton collusion with the DNC.
Anyway, this is what she writes in one excerpt.
Debbie was not a good manager.
She hadn't been very interested in controlling the party.
She let Clinton's headquarters in Brooklyn do as it desired, so she didn't have to inform the party officers how bad the situation was, how much control Brooklyn had, and for how long was still something that I had been trying to uncover for the last few weeks by September the 7th, the day I called Bernie Sanders after she said a prayer to herself, I had found my proof and it broke my heart.
And she said she never would have taken the job as the interim DNC chairwoman if in fact she knew what had happened here.
They stole an election.
They stole a primary.
This is the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen.
This is a big deal.
Even Elizabeth Warren is now admitting this whole primary process was rigged and stolen.
Listen to what she says.
This is a real problem.
But what we've got to do is Democrats now we've got to hold this party accountable.
When Tom Periolo was first, Tom Perez was first uh elected chair of the DNC, the very first conversation I had with him is to say you have got to put together a Democratic Party in which everybody can have confidence that the party is working for Democrats rather than Democrats or working for the party.
And he's being tested now.
This is a test for Tom Perez.
And either he's gonna succeed by bringing Bernie Sanders and Bernie Sanders representatives into this process, and they're gonna say it's fair, it works, we all believe it, or he's gonna fail.
And I very much hope he succeeds.
I hope for Democrats everywhere.
I hope for Bernie and for all of Bernie's supporters that it's gonna succeed.
Very quickly, Senator, do you agree with the notion that it was rigged?
Yes.
Yeah, court rigged, stolen, use whatever term you want.
We asked Wasserman Schultz's office.
They gave us a complete non-answer.
Donald Trump with him and the White House Democrats must stay focused on enacting a progressive agenda.
That's not answering the question, nor is it a denial.
But it's a clear example.
Senator Bernie Sanders never had a chance.
The fix was totally in.
They fixed an election, they stole an election.
The Clinton crime family, their political machine, no ethics.
They put all ethics aside.
This is what they do, what they always do.
Anything and everything.
They were mowing down anybody that stood in their way.
Now, if you could imagine for a second, this is President Trump, and he had rigged the RNC primary in his favor.
Could you just for a second just imagine what the outrage would be from the media today?
You know, what what would happen thereafter?
How big a scandal this would be?
You know what the saddest part?
How much coverage do you think it got on ABC's CBS and MBC evening newscast last night?
Nothing.
A complete blackout of the story.
It's I it's breathtaking to me that you cannot count on media for any truth anymore.
They're so bitterly partisan and ideological.
We care about truth.
I'm on the program yesterday telling you, well, the Republicans are weak and they totally capitulated on ever being supply-side economic conservatives any longer because they can't stomach the idea that they're gonna be accused of of sticking up for the rich.
We have great, it's it looks good on the corporate side, but this is not a Reagan tax cut.
You know, um, you look at this convention.
I mean, when you think about it, what are the things we teach our kids in life?
Kids, you need to be fair, honest, trustworthy.
Don't cheat, don't steal.
And when it comes to Hillary, she embodies none of those principles.
You know, nothing was gonna stop the Clinton's blind ambition.
And when it comes to emails, when they're subpoenaed, it's the same thing.
33,000, I'll just delete them, I'll acid wash them, I'll bleach bit them, I'll take a hammer and smash them.
That's the Clinton, that's who they are.
No warrant, no subpoena, no ethics will ever guide their lives.
This is the worst thing they have done.
And Hillary accuses the president of collusion, and she bought and paid for a phony, salacious Russian anti-Trump dossier that went all over the country.
And then and I what I can't figure out here is where are all the Bernie people?
Where's Bernie knew about this when he was told by Donna Brazil?
How did he should be ashamed of himself?
The election was stolen from him, and he supports that woman that stole an election.
He would have had us elect a woman that's willing to do that.
And for all those who voted for Clinton, you would that you would want that as your president?
It's unbelievable.
Then you got the dossier, then you got uranium one, then we got everything else.
Just never ends with these people.
All right, we got a lot coming up in the course of the program today.
800-941 Sean.
October 31st marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
Did the reformer Martin Luther aspire to start a new church?
Was he a 16th century Shaguera intending to overthrow institutional authority?
Or was this movement a conservative reformation?
Find out with the podcast issues, etc.
Issues ETC.net, real reformation radio.
Issues ETC.net, issues ETC.net.
Hillary steals a primary and ABC, NBC, and CBS ignore the whole story.
Now, thanks to Donna Brazil's bombshell book, we also now know that the same law firm that hired Fusion GPS, this is where Hillary bankrolled and funded and the DNC.
Now we got to figure she's in control of the DNC, so that she had the DNC funnel this money to compile this anti-Trump dirty dossier from Russia, also played a key role in blocking the FBI from examining the DNC servers after they were hacked last year.
You know, it's all beginning to come together.
You notice this pattern of behavior?
Hillary, you know, takes subpoenaed emails, destroys them.
Bleach pit, acid wash, breaking blackberries, smashing them to smithereens, Debbie Wassom and Schultz treating a police officer horribly as she did.
And then, of course, having busted up government hard drives in this IT guy's garage.
You see a commission here?
Why did the why didn't they want that the DNC, why did they block the FBI and why'd the FBI allow them to block them from examining their servers?
Anyway, while DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz alerted the officers about the server breach only when the Washington Post was about to make these revelation uh revelations public.
Brazil writes in an excerpt that ran in politico, the DNC instead enlisted the law firm of Perkins Choi to make a major to make the major decisions, including how to handle the breach of their servers.
That led to an embarrassing email dump.
And the timing suggests the DNC's unusual and significant choice to have a private law firm, CrowdStrike, conduct the investigation into the breach rather than turn the evidence over to the FBI was made, quote, without consulting DNC officers.
I'm not so sure that if that's I'm I'm why do I suspect maybe some people knew?
An article in the post in June of 2016, committee officials and security experts who responded to the breach said DNC leaders would tip to the hack in late April.
Well, the chief executive got a call from operations chief saying that the information technology team had noticed some unusual network activity, and they enlisted a lawyer from this law firm, called in the private security firm CrowdStrike to handle the DNC breach.
The decision was not to loop in the FBI.
That was a major decision.
What did they all want to hide here?
What was Wasserman Schultz hiding with busted up hard drives with our IT guy?
What was Hillary hiding bleach bit, NASA washing, deleting emails, and breaking blackberries?
You know, why wouldn't they let the FBI look at their servers?
Seems like a pattern of behavior here is extremely odd, doesn't it?
God, I want you to make everybody happy and dress whole white wood.
Because you make everybody happy.
And I want you to make me happy, my dad happy.
I hope that we can feed everybody in this whole light ward.
Amen.
Let there be light for the ones who lost the way.
Let there be light.
Let it ease your pain.
Let there be light on the darkest day.
Let there be light.
So we may see again.
Oh yeah.
Let there be light.
if the bible says it's so Let there be light so let there be light so we may see again.
Let there be light to my bear, let there be.
and shine on me Let there be light things for the ones with the wound in mind.
Let the bee light for the ones we left behind.
Let there be light.
Somebody say we may see We may see again.
There'll be love tonight Let me be light.
So baby light.
Let me lie.
Let them be.
It is out of me.
Let me let it be let it be.
Let me I now run.
Let the be light.
It's very bad.
Let there be light.
Oh, let there be light.
Let there be light.
We've lost our sight Let me shine on you Let me fly Let me fly before the world Let me fly tonight Let me fly tonight Let me fly tonight Let me fly before the world Let me fly before the world Let me fly tonight Let me shine on you
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Alright, that isn't that an incredible score.
That is for the movie, my movie, Let There Be a Light on the Executive Producer.
Eve Linda, you really love that.
Dion Warwick and her son, what's her son's name?
I forget.
So yeah, on the song is uh Billy Ray Cyrus, Gladys Knight, Joe Don Rooney, Maya.
Joe Dunn's from Rascal.
That's right.
John Elefante, Damon Elliott, Kevin Sorbo.
I mean, it's amazing.
The singer.
Kevin sings?
No, but I mean, I think he was just there in spirit.
He was there in spirit.
So he's on the credits.
Yeah, Damon Elliott and Dion Warwick's son.
I was gonna say, he that is her son.
There's a particular scene in the movie.
This is actually at the point where I come into the movie.
Um, and I I can't give it away.
I just can't.
I mean, too many people haven't seen it, and I don't want to spoil it for them.
And uh that's from the soundtrack from the movie, and uh we're really excited.
And another point, Sean, is that 100% of every download um of this goes to Feeding America.
It helps replenish America's food banks, supply hurricane food relief.
That's a hundred percent.
What do people tell me these things?
Well, you know, you have people for these things.
I'm one of those people, so now I'm telling people about you know your people.
Breaking news and no, a hundred percent of the proceeds for a download go to feeding.
That's awesome.
That's good.
It's great.
Um, so anyway, uh, did you ever look you have not told me your reaction in the movie, and it's like you're being reluctant and resistant.
Why?
Because I'm curious.
Well, you know, I mean, it's uh, you know, I'm I'm known as the tough one, so I can't just, you know, so you're basically saying like almost everybody else who's seen the movie, you you're you cried like a baby.
Right, but I cried at a different scene.
Well, when I showed up, I'm so bad.
As soon as I saw you come and oh god, no, no.
Hannity's in the movie.
Oh god, no, not again.
It's my day off.
No, there's there's a scene in the movie, which I think is in the trailer as well.
So I don't I don't think I'm giving anything away.
All right, play the trailer.
But okay, let's play the trailer.
All right, play it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm coming.
You're drunk?
Oh, you're full of all over your eyes.
The basic tenor of Christianity.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't you dare tell me about the love and the compassion of your so-called God.
What do you think it does to the boys to take the death of their brother and use it as part of your carnival act?
pays the bills.
Daddy!
Clinically dead in the entrance in four minutes.
It's a miracle.
I saw Davy.
Well, all I wanted to do was I want to put my heart around them.
You've gotten the best scientific explanation.
It hasn't brought you any comfort.
Would you consider consulting a different source?
All you gotta do now is take it.
Jesus gets whacked, right?
I've never exactly heard it put that way, but yeah, follow me.
Just saying, brain surgery.
Do you believe that God hears?
God always answers prayers.
Sometimes we just don't understand the answers.
That's what I said.
I don't want to lose you.
So my first question is are you guys ready for the amount of heat that'll be coming your way with this?
You cried when I showed up.
I'm guessing that's the only part you're doing.
No, no, no.
It's the scene where, and I think it's I think you have to be a parent.
I mean, that's just my humble opinion.
I think that once you have a child, it changes everything.
But when he actually talks about seeing his child, like, you know, you lose your child, and then you cross over and you see the light and you see the face of your child that you have sadly lost, who's gone on to the next one.
A lot of people cried during it.
It was so sensitive.
Um I don't want to give the movie away.
It's it will this movie takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride.
And the reactions I in all the work that I've done 30 years in radio, 23 years in in television now.
Um, I've never gotten universal reaction like this.
That it is impacting people deeply.
Anyway, because of all of you, and and you went to see it last weekend.
We have now pretty much doubled the number of theaters.
If you liked it, please Tell your friends we don't have any marketing money.
This is it.
I'm the marketer.
Um, and uh it's it's really touching people's lives, which was the only reason I got involved in this, which is a pain in my neck in so many other ways.
And it's also something where you can take your family.
You take your whole family to it, and uh it's in theaters, it's called Let There Be Light.
Um, get this.
Did you see Nancy Pelosi saying she doesn't care that Hillary rigged the primary?
She doesn't care.
I bet if it was Donald Trump, she'd care and care a lot.
Same Nancy Pelosi, who's not sure which president's in office right now, right?
Yeah, that's the same one, but my focus is on the next election, she said.
I don't have a spare second to be thinking about comments that went on with my within the DNC.
I have a responsibility for what I've ever responsibility for.
I don't have any interest in what I don't have any responsibility for when it comes to other campaigns.
Wow.
And then she bragged on Friday that she's the Democratic Party's biggest fundraiser and you know, sloughed off the idea that her lead leadership position requires her to delve into these intra-party squabbles.
I haven't had time to be reading any of that anyway.
There'll be all kinds of books written about what happened, she said, and then inadvertently citing the title of Clinton's latest book, What Happened.
Wow.
I don't care.
The networks don't care.
Hillary steals an election.
They don't care.
ABC, World News Tonight, NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News.
If you had any doubt for any second, how how corrupt these people are, this ought to prove it to you.
This is it.
Not a second of coverage.
It's just, you know, just look, act like it doesn't happen.
It's like it's it like it never happened.
If you listen to ABC, NBC, CBS.
Just unbelievable.
It's just going to ignore the whole thing.
Greg Jarrett, my colleague at Fox, he's such a good legal mind and researcher.
You know, we've been told for a year by Hillary and her team how the election was stolen from her.
She stole the election from Bernie Sanders.
Absolutely rigged it, stole it.
In the United States of America.
A stunning revelation.
And, you know, the whole thing is spelled out in this political article.
I don't have a copy of the book yet, or else when as soon as I get it, I'm going to run a deep dive into it.
Anyway, when she took over at the DNC for Debbie Wasseman Schultz, apparently they were in dire circumstances.
Barack Obama had bankrupted them.
Well, then there's an opportunity for Clinton to seize command of the entire party apparatus.
And she offered, signed a deal to pay off their debt, 20 million dollars, but in exchange, the DNC executed a written, hidden agreement transferring to Clinton, the committee's finances, their strategy, all money raised, all to the benefit of Clinton, and the detriment of Bernie Sanders, her primary opponent.
This is spectacularly corrupt.
And there was even more money being shuffled around.
Now, this is where some legality comes in.
And in other words, it was you know, during Clinton's fundraising efforts with the DNC that they had all around the country, maybe more than 82 million dollars was raised.
The states then would immediately kick back nearly all of that share to the DNC, which we now know was kicked back right into the coffers of Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
And with Clinton controls of the Democratic Party, she controlled staffing, she controlled budgeting, data, analytics, mailings, money.
Well, she was able to overcome the primary challenge that was real.
It was a real clear present danger to her blind ambition of Bernie Sanders.
Now, so she rigged the election process.
She stole the election.
Now, this is where Greg Jarrett comes in.
The FEC needs to launch an investigation.
And by the way, should the Department of Justice and the FBI, because Clinton may very well have violated several laws which would constitute serious crimes.
And as Greg points out, the federal law sets strict limits on campaign contributions.
Financial records must now be subpoenaed to determine whether those laws were broken.
Like, for example, Clinton spent money for the phony Russian dossier That you know, Russian propaganda, Russian lies, so that she could use Russian information to steal the election from Trump.
The very thing she's so upset about, she was guilty of.
Anyway, so you know, this is a lot like given her past record of Whitewater and her cattle futures deal.
There is a strong chance there's gonna be a big document trail here that will lead to multiple violations of the FEC, the Federal Elections Campaign Act.
And if Donna Brazil's account of all this is true, it's likely the campaign finance reporting laws were broken under the same act.
You can't hide campaign money through false misleading campaign reports.
That's illegal.
And by the way, in maybe many cases, it's not just a civil penalty.
And the funneling of campaign funds from one source to another.
Well, that may even be an issue for the FBI to look into money laundering.
Because any transaction that seeks to conceal or disguise proceeds of illegal activity that by definition is money laundering.
So then it could be shown that Clinton violated contribution limits or reporting requirements, and then channeling of the proceeds from one source to another.
That's laundering money.
So we need a special counsel again.
Except this time it ought to be into the dossier that she paid for and everything else.
And uranium won.
There's so much corruption with these people.
Now Trump was out there.
I I understand the president's for well, I don't know what Jeff Sessions is doing these days.
It's beyond frustrating.
All I can tell you is this.
There was no collusion.
There was no nothing.
It's a disgrace, frankly, that they continue.
You ought to look at Hillary Clinton, and you ought to look at the new book that was just put out by Donna Brazile, where she basically bought the DNC, and she stole the election from Bernie.
So that's what you want to take a look at.
I don't know.
I'm really not involved with the Justice Department.
I'd like to let it run itself, but honestly, they should be looking at the Democrats.
They should be looking at Podesta and all of that dishonesty.
They should be looking at a lot of things, and a lot of people are disappointed.
We're like the only ones reporting this.
Now we have an exclusive interview next with uh investigative reporter Ed Klein, the plot to destroy Trump.
We'll get to that.
These are amazing times we are living in.
What a sad state of affairs for media in America when you have a Democratic presidential candidate, woman that was the first lady of the United States, Senator from the state of New York, first lady of the great state of Arkansas.
And it's now revealed she rigged a presidential election primary, and your dishonest, corrupt, lying, ideological media.
Don't even report on it.
Ed Klein investigative reporter, the plot to destroy Trump will also be investigating the Bergdahl decision and Corey Feldman on a pedophilia.
Apparently, it's widespread in Hollywood, straight ahead.
It's a fake dossier.
It was made up.
And I understand they paid a tremendous amount of money.
And Hillary Clinton always denied it.
The Democrats always denied it.
Well, I think the uranium sale to Russia and the way it was done, so underhanded with tremendous amounts of money being passed.
I actually think that's Watergate modern age.
This was the Democrats coming up with an excuse for losing an election.
It's an election that's very hard for a Democrat to lose because the Electoral College is set in such a way that it's very hard to lose that election for a Democrat.
They lost it, they lost it very badly and very easily.
I mean, you look at the votes, it was 306 to what?
223 or something.
They lost it by a lot.
They didn't know what to say, so they made up the whole Russia hoax.
Now it's turning out that the her hoax is turned around, and you look at what's happened with Russia, and you look at the uranium deal, and you look at the fake dossier, so that's all turned around.
We know there was a huge amount of content being produced in places like Macedonia.
We know that WikiLeaks, which is basically a front now for uh Putin, uh, was more than willing to publish uh stolen emails from the DNC from John Podesta, and that then those emails were weaponized with ridiculous, absurd, untrue stories being uh churned out.
On and on.
So there's a lot we know already.
You followed this extremely closely.
Well, I started following this back in the summer of 2016 because there was something going on.
Um when the DNC hack happened, you know, we had a huge political crisis when Republicans physically broke in to the Democratic Party's records back in the so-called Watergate years.
This is a different kind of theft.
And it's do you think this is bigger than the Watergate?
I think it's probably uh bigger than Watergate because it is about the future.
You said Bob Mueller's a zealot.
He is.
And you were emphatic about it.
He is.
I had experiences with him.
What kind of experience?
Well, uh, I had a case, and my colleague, Harvey Silverglade, and I went to see him in Washington, and we started to talk about prosecutorial and misconduct and misconduct by the FBI, and he cut us off.
And he said, it's a non-starter to talk to me about FBI misconduct or prosecutorial misconduct.
It's a non-starter.
He doesn't want to hear about that.
He is in the business of protecting the FBI, protecting prosecutors at all costs.
I don't suggest he's unethical, but he's very zealous.
And he uses the tactics.
I would that's very questionable.
I would argue then that's probably what makes him good at his job.
It makes it is that wrong.
It makes him effective at his job.
But the job of a prosecutor is to do justice, not to get as many notches on his belt as possible.
And I think this tactic you believe that's what he's well, I think he's for.
Look, he is the special counsel.
He has an enormous budget.
He has a man with his target on his back, the president of the United States.
He's not going to be satisfied until he gets to the president or people very close to him.
That's the danger of a special prosecutor.
Wow, Alan Dershwitz in that last comment, pretty powerful.
Hill, you know, Hillary will blame anybody and everybody.
There's no evidence at all that any Republican had anything to do whatsoever with the DNC leaks of WikiLeaks and Julian Assan.
I wish somebody, Mueller or somebody in besides Dana Rohrbacher and myself, would ask the one guy on the face of this earth what evidence he has that would show it's not Russia, and we could put this whole mess to an end.
And the American people deserve a tr the truth after all this.
Whatever the truth is, and he's told me multiple times it's not Russia.
Like him, dislike him, doesn't matter.
He's the one that knows.
Anyway, was this all a massive plot to destroy Donald Trump?
Was it actually organized and orchestrated?
In other words, I've always talked about five forces against the president, the deep state.
Then of course you got Liberal Democrats.
They don't want the president to succeed.
This president has dealt with nearly a leak a day of intelligence and an unmasking and then leaking intelligence and and you know, all the stuff happening.
Then you got a media that hates them.
Then you got Republicans that hate them.
Then you got never Trumpers that are at war with him.
Was this a plan that was hatched and who did it?
Well, that's the thesis of a brand new book by Ed Klein.
It's called The Plot to Destroy Donald Trump.
Ed Klein, you may remember, for former uh foreign editor of Newsweek, former editor-in-chief of the New York Times magazine.
Contributing editor of Vanity Fair.
And every time you write a book, all those people that you used to know love and uh like and that praised your work, they hate you.
Is there a plot to destroy?
Was this plot hatched in December, as you say?
And what evidence do you have?
Well, according to a senior Clinton campaign strategist who worked for Hillary in both 2008 and 2016.
Hillary Clinton personally authorized her campaign chairman John Podesta to launch this controversial Donald Trump Russian dossier.
Not only that, Hillary approved Podesta's decision to pay for the dossier by funneling campaign funds, I believe unlawfully.
Now it's interesting because this has just all come out after a year of lying, and this book had to go to press.
How long ago?
Oh, I'd say about two months ago.
Yeah.
I mean, for those that don't know the publishing business, you knew about this two months ago.
Yes.
And now we've been able to prove that.
Uh absolutely pinned it down, Sean.
There's no question in my mind.
She paid for the dossier.
The dossier was delivered to the Clinton campaign by Fusion GPS, that's the opposition research firm in the summer Of 2016 and Hillary read it.
And I'm told by this campaign strategist who was there, she was thrilled by its salacious content.
She even bragged about it.
So much so that the people in her Brooklyn campaign headquarters knew about it.
They all knew about not all.
The top echelon knew about it.
And she said, and I'm quoting now, according to this campaign strategist, this is my secret weapon, and it's gonna blow Trump out of the water.
That's what she said.
And it all ended up being Hillary DNC Obama bought and paid for lies, propaganda, misinformation, disinformation.
That's right.
From Russia.
From Kremlin secret intelligence service types who are working to get this disinformation into our system.
And this is the dossier that claimed that Donald Trump was in the Ritz-Carlton with two hookers who were urinating in his bed.
All BS, as you know.
All of it.
Right.
And yet it was repeated all over television.
Well, even worse than that.
Jennifer Palmieri, who is the communications director of uh Hillary's campaign.
Total hack.
Yeah.
Oh boy.
And Brian Fallon, her press secretary, leaked this stuff to friendly reporters and congr Congressmen.
And this stuff got into large circulation among the media, which did not repeat the words because they couldn't prove it, but the very thesis that there was a collusion took effect, and that's where it started to spread.
If you listen to the left, they're going to tell you in their arguments all over TV, which is which is predicated on a lie, is that well, Republicans, and now we know it was the Washington Free Beacon and what's his name, Paul uh Springer, Singer, uh, that they funded this.
That's true.
But they start to fund they didn't fund Steele's research.
Which is a very big distinction.
None of this was Russian related.
They were just doing simple op research.
Research, right.
In your book, you say that this is a plot.
Everyone's gonna say you're a conspiracy theorist.
That it was a real plot to destroy Trump.
I assume you're talking about the deep state and other ways that was initiated in the Obama White House.
Does this have to do with the unmasking?
Yes.
Does this have to do with intelligence linking?
December 16, Susan Rice, the National Security Advisor, was invited to the family quarters of the White House for a dinner.
My source was at this dinner.
She un she presented a scheme or a plot or whatever you want to call it to unmask the names of Trump aides and advisors that were gathered when the NSA was doing electronic intercepts and to unmask these names, and then she asked the president for permission to have to spread these names throughout the intelligence community with the knowledge that if she did so, they would leak to the press.
This is where it all began on in this meeting.
And the president sat there and approved it.
So in other words, when s when you hear some the the UN ambassador Samantha Power in the course of an election year, no, this I guess predates this meeting with Susan Rice and in the residence of the White House because she was unmasking some odds.
Almost a an unmasking a day.
And why would the UN ambassador ever need to do that?
And you got Susan Rice and Ben Rhodes and everybody else involved in this.
Ben Rhodes is a big, big player in this unmasking thing because he was Susan Rice's deputy.
But he really, in a sense, ran the National Security Council under Susan Rice.
And he was the guy, of course, who did the Iran deal for Obama.
He's a real bad actor in this situation.
You claim, and I think I'm one of the few in the country that believes and knows and understands what the deep state means.
Yes.
And there is a deep state.
And the FBI has infiltrated the deep state.
And I've and I actually print an FBI report in this book about that.
Okay.
This is what I want to know.
You have two exclusive FBI reports in the book that prove the existence of the deep state that are working against Trump.
I'll get to the ISIS side of it in a second.
How do you have that information?
What are those reports specifically say and claim?
Well, those reports say that agents of the FBI, and this is a written report, you know, that I actually saw that was delivered to the director of the FBI from the field offices.
About two thousand interviews took place, and they infiltrated meetings in Washington and other places where these rogue elements in the bureaucracy were being taught and told how to slow walk the the agenda of the Trump administration,
how to make files disappear, how to erase computer files, and a lot of this information was being instructed to them by union organizers, and this took place in a church in Washington, D.C. This is one meeting.
So this is a the FBI has no doubt.
They didn't use the word deep state, but they did describe what is the deep state.
All right, we'll come back, we'll pick it up.
Ed Klein is with us.
The plot to destroy Trump.
How many number one bestsellers have you had?
This will be the third.
This will be very confidently.
How many bestsellers have you had?
Well, this one is going to be a number one number one.
I kind of suspect you're right.
All right, we'll take a break.
Uh more with Ed Klein.
We have a lot of ground to cover here.
We may hold them past the uh bottom of the hour.
All right, as we continue, Sean Hannity show joining us is Ed Klein, number one New York Times best-selling author of his brand new book out, The Plot to Destroy Trump, and we were talking about the deep state and how they're working against Trump.
Now, if they we know that this deep state exists, and they're what we're really talking about is weaponizing the powerful tools of intelligence gathering.
Where they could listen into any conversation of any American any time.
That's right.
You know, Bill Binney, who's been on this program, says every call, every email, uh every text message is all metadata gathered and secured in some of these data centers that the government has.
And we know that the intelligence community set out from the very beginning with John Brennan, who is then the head of the CIA, to undermine Donald Trump.
And Brennan was a terrible, terrible uh opponent of Trump.
He he he hated the idea that Donald Trump was trying to make a deal with the Russians on certain areas where they could cooperate, such as, for instance, Syria.
He did and and this is this went against Brennan's uh religion, if you want to call it that, and the religion of the intelligence community and this intelligence community has been rogue ever s ever since Trump won the election.
Well, to me, that is key because if if the weaponry of intelligence is turned against the American people, and it has been, if you're unmasking Americans for no good reason at all, just for political purposes.
For example, was the Pfizer warrant based on the phony, salacious Hillary Clinton bought and paid for dossier?
We don't know, but we assume that probably was.
Oh, I think it was.
Yeah, I do too.
Now that would mean any evidence that they gotten out of that would be inadmissible in court, wouldn't it?
Right.
Why otherwise would James Comey have uh briefed Trump and Obama on this dossier if the if he didn't think it was uh valuable and usable for intelligence purposes?
It wouldn't make sense.
No, of course not.
Yeah, in a in a lot of different ways.
All right.
What about the FBI reports warning that ISIS ties to the anti-Trump resistance and highlighting the danger of domestic terrorism from anti-Trump radicals?
You're saying basically this is a propaganda campaign that was hatched.
You're talking about the ISIS connection, right?
Okay, here's the FBI, what they say.
Quote, there is clearly overwhelming evidence that there are growing ties between U.S. radicals and the Islamic State, as well as several ISIS offshoots and splinter groups.
This is the greatest challenge to law enforcement, and this is still a quote, since the weather underground and the black Black Panther Party.
And how and who's connected to this?
So here's what happened.
The FBI in the summer of uh 2000 uh 16 sent a group of agents to Germany for the G twenty uh summit summit of of uh chief uh what do you call it, industrialized countries.
Right.
And there were a lot of protests on the street, and they discovered that Antifa, these American violent groups were taking part in these protests.
So they followed them.
And what they discovered is that they had contacts with Al Qaeda operatives and ISIS operatives.
And when they went deeper into it with Interpol and others, they discovered that our locally grown left-wing anarchists who are smashing everybody, you know, property and beating up people.
Occupy Wall Street Antifa.
That whole those whole groups were getting instructions on how to make bombs and how to use it.
how do I know from the FBI report?
Yeah.
And you're printing the report inside the entire report is printed.
Uh we continue with uh Ed Klein, he's the former foreign editor for Newsweek, former editor of the New York Times magazine and contributing editor to Vanity Fair, apparently though is hated now by the left, and his new book is The Plot to Destroy Trump.
You know, if you look at all of the intelligence leaks, which is unprecedented.
Even Jimmy Carter recently revealed there's never been a president that has come under fire like Donald Trump has come under fire.
It's almost been a leak a day, especially in the beginning of his presidency.
And then you look at the varying groups that are against him, the Democrats are against him except for with the exception of me and a few others giving him a fair shot.
Everybody else is against him in the media.
There's they're like salivating at the thought of taking this president down.
Uh Democrats don't want him to succeed.
Never Trumpers don't want him to succeed.
And then you got people like, you know, Ben Sass the ass and and you know, people like you know, Snowflake out in Arizona who's threatening to run independent and John McCain and and a bunch of others, they don't want him to succeed.
So where does that leave us as a country if everybody's lined up because they don't like the choice of the American people?
Are you saying that you believe the evidence is they want to overturn a duly elected president?
The results.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
And one of the groups that you left at were the colleges and universities.
And there's an FBI report on that, too, by the way.
And they the report says, and I'm going to quote from the report we have information, this is the FBI report, that there are numerous caches of weaponized tools and the ingredients to manufacture improvised explosive devices on college campuses across the country.
This is the greatest challenge to law enforcement since the weather underground and the black panther.
Pretty frightening and chilling scenario.
Absolutely.
And we see tensions rising all over on college campuses.
I mean, you can't be a conservative and speak at the original home of the free speech movement out in Berkeley.
I want to ask you about Hillary because I've been spending an awful lot of time because I think what she did was sell out America's national security, and I've been very blunt.
And I think the idea on the surface that anybody would give the bad actor, Vladimir Putin, and a hostile regime such as Russia, twenty percent of our uranium, the foundational materials for nuclear weapons, and that the FBI knew, and that means Mueller knew because he was the FBI director at the time, and Eric Holder had to know, because he's the head of he's the A.G. and he's the head of the Department of Justice, which oversees the FBI, and Rod Rosenstein, you know, was a local guy that was overseeing the case.
He knew about it.
Why would anybody ever, for any reason, ever think it's a good idea putting all the money issues aside to sign off on saying, Here, Vladimir, here's twenty percent of our uranium.
What did we get for that?
The only answer to possible answer to that question is the under you have to understand the mentality of the Clintons.
And the Clintons have for the last 40 years been doing nothing but trying to enrich themselves and empower themselves.
How much money do you need?
Well, they've got now what?
A couple of what 200 million or more dollars, I'm told.
Right.
The Foundation got what, a hundred and thirty-five million dollars in donations from Russian connected donors while she was approving this uranium sale.
Bill Clinton got, as you know, half a million dollars for a single speech from a bank connected to the Russians.
I mean, you know all this stuff.
Yeah, you're right.
Renaissance had a had a financial interest in the whole Uranium One deal, and Bill Clinton was seeking permission from his own wife State Department to speak with nuclear officials.
He was pushing the uranium one deal.
And where was the FBI during all this, I'd like to know.
Well, under Mueller.
Where were they?
Well, this is what we know, because you know, this is why the the push that we had so hard last week that did pay off, which was lifting the nondisclosure agreement, basically a gag order on the one person that had actually infiltrated on behalf of the FBI, the FBI informant, but he's got tapes and he's got emails,
he's got first hand accounts, he's got documents, and they had pretty much muzzled him up until now, but thankfully because of Sarah Carter and John Solomon and I would argue myself a little bit that NDA was lifted.
So the veil is gonna come off all of this, but Mueller knew, and that means that Holder knew.
Holder personally signed off.
He was one of the nine along with Hillary.
Well, Mueller worked for Holder.
But but they knew bribery, extortion, right, money laundering, kickbacks, and and all sorts of racketeering crimes were happening as a result of Putin using spies in this country.
No question about what you're saying.
And even, you know, the Wall Street Journal has come to this own conclusion, too.
This is the establishment Republican newspaper saying Mueller should go.
Right.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.
Well, so then the question is, you know, finally we've got congressional investigations, but I think unless we get a separate special prosecutor, why would Mueller ever do anything that's going to expose himself?
Here's what I've done.
Or McCabe or Rosenstein or Holder.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.
Here's what I've been told by my sources at the Justice Department.
There are a group of prosecutors newly appointed during the Trump administration who have been lobbying Jeff Sessions for a number of weeks now to appoint just exactly what you said, a special prosecutor for Hillary Clinton.
He has refused to do it.
Why?
What is he doing?
He has refused, adamantly refused to do it.
He says, I don't want this is what he says.
I'm not agreeing with him.
I don't want to politicize the Justice Department by going after an opponent of the president.
But the fact of the matter is the evidence is so overwhelming and incontrovertible.
Right.
So I'm sure the president knows about this.
I I have no I don't know for a fact, but I assume he must know about it.
And because it's not as if it's I know about it, certainly the people in the White House know about it.
And I don't know, you know, maybe eventually he'll shift sessions to another cabinet and get an attorney general who should do his job.
Well, Rosenstein's number two, and he has a conflict, obviously, in this case, because he knew on a local level when he was a local whatever DA or you know, I guess one of the districts in Maryland, I guess he was running at the time.
To me, they sold out.
But there's no rational, logical, commonsensical reason that anybody can give me that we would give a bad actor and a hostile regime twenty percent of our uranium.
Now I know the Clintons benefited financially, Bill in his speech, and he advocated for it, and we know that you know that hill the Foundation benefited to the tune according to Clinton cash Peter Schweitzer, 145 million, but there's no rational reason for it.
Why would Obama sign off on it?
What did America get from him?
Why would everyone else sign off on this?
There's no good reason to there's no answer to your question, because it's so obvious that they shouldn't have done it.
It's against national security.
It's against anything that's the same.
I mean it to compared, I would say the worst deal is the Iranian deal, you know, giving 150 billion dollars to the Muhlers of Iran thinking that they're gonna be cooperative.
That's the same mistake Bill Clinton made with North Korea trying to bribe bribe Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un's father, and I'm looking at the same as this has got to be the second biggest strategical foreign policy disaster decision that we've ever had.
And have you seen any mainstream newspaper say this?
Yeah, listen, I think the reason I'm number one in cable and our show's exploding is because we're telling the truth.
That's right.
And the mainstream media is ignoring it.
Because this is a scandal of the misproportion.
See, this is the point.
They don't care about Russian cons they don't care about Russian interference in our election, do they?
No, obviously they don't, otherwise they'd be doing something about it.
So let's go back one more time to the whole issue of the decision to fund the dossier by the by Clinton and her campaign and John Podesta funneling it through a law firm.
It turns out the DNC funneled money through the same law firm, and we learned this weekend that Obama funded money through the law firm to give to Fusion GPS.
Right.
Okay.
So then the dossier is delivered to Hillary Clinton.
Do you know somebody in the room when she got handed this document?
I do not.
Yes, from this senior guy who is a stretch was a strategist for the campaign and heard her boasting and bragging about it, not the the day she got it, but later on when she was saying this is going to blow Trump out of the wall.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.
That's right.
She was absolutely confident she had the election.
I don't think anybody in the media knew the except me that Trump had a shot of winning.
I agree.
You know, I remember the night of the election.
I don't know if you remember this, but I'm I'm watching all the channels, and it was like a funeral.
You know, once the North Carolina comes in and and Wisconsin came in and in Michigan and Florida.
They just I thought they they'd all lost their mother, father, sister, brother, And uncle and and every cousin and grandparent they ever own had.
And they're still still acting as though they have.
They're still in this state of denial.
They don't want one of the reasons that Hillary Clinton is still talking about without using the word impeachment, but certainly hinting at what she'd like to see is because she believes this election was stolen from her.
It's somebody else's fault.
She didn't lose the election.
All right.
Let me let me ask this.
Moving forward, I would assume we're gonna have more leaks from the deep state.
Moving forward, I would assume that they the real target of Mueller is Donald Trump.
I think there are some naively around the president that think, oh no, he just wants to wrap this sucker up and and he's got Manafort, he'll probably get General Flynn next, and after that we're all done.
There won't be any evidence of collusion because he wants to get out of it because he doesn't want to be dragged into the whole issue of uranium one, which he was involved in and should have acted on.
I spoke to a um a polster who spoke to David Axrod when Flynn was fired.
And ax David Axrod, the architect of both of Obama's election victories said we're not that interested in Flynn.
Our ultimate goal is Trump.
Trump.
So it would be naive to think anything else.
Absolutely.
Can you imagine if the Democrats take over the House of Representatives and they'll try.
They will try to impeach him.
There's no question in my mind.
All right.
Well, good luck with the new book.
We put it up on Hannity.com.
It's in bookstores everywhere just out.
Uh investigative reporter Ed Kleiner's new book, The Plot to Destroy Trump.
And you can read it yourself, make your own decisions.
And uh thank you, Ed.
Great to be here.
Thanks so much.
All right, my friend, 800 nine four one Sean toll free telephone number.
All right, Corey Feldman is up next.
Hannity at nine, a new list of theaters for Let There Be Light.
Bring your tissues on Hannity.com.
All right, let's get to our busy uh telephones here.
800 nine four one Sean Tollfree telephone number.
Richard in Canada.
Richard Hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi Hi Sean.
Uh, isn't the smoking gun for uranium one the fact that Obama's DOJ actually threatened the FBI informant if you went public with his information?
Isn't that the most significant thing?
Well, I mean, apparently this guy has wanted to tell I well look, I know for a fact he's wanted to tell his story for a long time.
And he was absolutely told there'd be massive repercussions if it happens.
Now, unless and until I speak with a guy, I can't confirm it, but yeah, I would assume that a lot of people wanted this guy to keep take his evidence and shove it because it's it's causing a lot.
Why do you think Hillary's talking about me every day now?
Talking about me because she can't stand the coverage.
Oh, they're acting like I'm president.
No, we're not.
We're just trying to have equal justice under the law, and we're tired of you lying and your corruption.
What about Senator Grassley?
He's called for a special counsel.
You mean Sessions won't listen even to Senator Grassley?
Well, I look, I mean, I'll be honest.
I think Congress has been so slow to this game, it's pathetic.
But with that said, I can't complain that finally they're beginning to listen to what I've been telling them for months and months and months.
And it's like using a sledgehammer when it just needed a scalpel.
It's ridiculous overkill, but we got it through.
All right, my friend, thank you.
Don Lake Ronconcom, our good friend Don.
Welcome aboard, my friend.
Hey, Sean.
Listen, before I get to my question, I have two of congratulations to you.
One on your high ratings on Hannity.
Congratulations to you, my friend.
Thank you.
And uh my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Let There Be Light this Saturday afternoon.
Did you cry?
Be honest, Don.
Did it make you cry?
I d I I willed up.
That well, that's what it's supposed to be.
Uh okay.
A lot of people cried in the movie.
The great news is I think we're more than because of last week and only because of last week, we'll double the theaters.
Last thing, you know, I'll say this, because we we won by leaps and bounds, number one show in cable in every demo.
And everybody, when they were writing I'm going back to nine, said I was gonna get my ass kicked.
Everybody said I was dead.
Everybody said uh he's finished.
I was already winning at 10 o'clock.
You know, I'm just like, okay, you guys, I'm game on.
Let's play.
All right.
The first month is on over, you know, over.
And I just want to say thank you to the best audience on TV and radio.
Uh you know, I I can't do what I do, Don.
You know this unless people help me and watch.
We're working hard every day.
I can tell you that.
Yeah, absolutely.
Got a question for you.
Yeah.
Through your incredible efforts, and Sarah Carter and John Solomon and Representative David Nunes and author Peter Schweitzer, it's been established at Crooked Hillary and the DNC Baker rolled that phony Russian dossier story.
Yes, sir.
And it's now festering into one of the biggest American scandals of all times.
It's bigger than Watergate.
It's bigger than the McCarthy hearings.
Okay.
Has anyone tried to calculate the cost of the to the American taxpayer for this uh wild goose chase?
You know, we haven't done that yet.
I'll tell you two things.
You know what?
We're we're tracking.
Tonight I'm going to show you how corrupt this special counsel is.
We're going to investigate the investigators.
Nobody's done it.
We'll do it tonight.
And we're gonna show you just how dishonest and corrupt with no fidelity to the truth the media has now become, how abusively biased.
So as usual, you're right on track, and I promise we're gonna hit that hard.
Fraud investigation.
Ever fed a hungry child.
Yeah, you're right.
Good point.
You know, and that's why the good news, consumer confidence, all these great economic indicators.
We actually did something.
We could help the people that deserve help in this country instead of you know trying to take down the president and having to spend my time defending against these ridiculous efforts every day.
Is it going to involve real people, real names of people active in Hollywood?
It would be a very true story.
We will have every name that every everybody that affected my life.
I'm going to give the perspective that I can give what I viewed, what I experienced from a firsthand account.
Why do you need 10 million dollars film students make movies for fractions of the state of the state of the state of the world?
Well, that's a film student.
We're talking about a theatrical release.
We're talking about I'm gonna four wall the theaters, I'm gonna self-distribute, self-market, make the film, and hire a team of attorneys who are gonna pr protect me and the film when everybody comes out to me with what would be wrong with going to the police now again.
Didn't work out in San Francisco.
In the state of California, which protects people.
It's not that way in New York.
It's that way only where the movie industry is, conveniently enough in California.
That's the seriousness of this.
You cannot, because if I were to go to the police, I would be the one who's getting sued.
Henceforth, I need a team of lawyers, and I need a team of security to be around me at all times to keep me safe so I can get this message done.
I'm not playing around.
It's serious stuff, and I vow I will release every single name that I have any knowledge of.
That was Corey Feldman.
He was on the Today Show getting badgered by Matt Lauer.
Corey has started what he is calling a truth campaign to expose what is widespread pedophilia that goes on in Hollywood.
Now we've all heard about Harvey Weinstein, and we followed that and Kevin Spacey making an advance when he was in his late twenties towards a 14-year-old and and all the other allegations.
You know, I guess we could say that what adults choose to do is their business.
I'm pretty libertarian on what people choose to do in their own lives, but if you're going to abuse children, this goes way beyond the casting couch that we have discussed in such detail.
And what Corey has now been saying for years is that he, as a child actor, was abused.
And how often have we heard about, you know, young kids, they want to get in the music business, they want to get in the modeling business, they want to get in the acting business.
And sure, you do this favor, that favor, and we can help you.
And it's more widespread, Corey's telling us than we ever knew.
Corey Feldman and his wife Courtney are with us.
Welcome to the program.
How are you?
Thank you.
Well, uh a bit shook up after the week I've had, but still surviving and still fighting the good fight.
What did you think of Matt Lauer's questioning?
You know, like you're supposed to, you know, automatically do what he wants you to do and name names.
You're saying beyond any doubt, you're abused as a child.
How old were you when you were abused?
I was abused when I was well several times throughout my teenage, young teenage years.
Uh but it started the first one was when I was, I believe, fourteen, and it went until I was about sixteen.
And that was daily widespread abuse, and you're saying this is very common in Hollywood.
Well, so we're very clear.
What happened to me was there were several people involved, and you know, they were a group of friends, you know, and these people become your friends.
So as a child, you're not looking at it as, you know, this is some big bad pervert that's coming to get me.
And it's not a casting couch.
It's not, hey, do this for me, it's not tit for tat.
It's not like that.
The way it comes to you is lower level people.
You know, it's not some big executive that comes along and just does something.
This is different.
It's different than Harvey Weinstein in the sense that, you know, these are usually lower level people, publicists and managers and assistants And people like that who and and photographers, you know, I mean, I know there's a lot of photographers in the teen magazine world and all of that.
And that's where it all, you know, kind of subsides is in that lower level.
And then it's almost, you know, like they serve a master of some sort, because then I know about, you know, the main guy, right?
Who I who I've been talking about forever, who who attacked, you know, my friend, and that was a straight rape case.
And we we would know the name.
Everybody listening would know the name of this individual.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
And you're going to tell you're gonna name names and you're doing, I guess, uh a documentary.
It's not a documentary.
What we want to do is an actual film.
I want to make a film of my life which portrays the actual events as they happened.
Because you know, when I wrote my book, they made me edit it.
They made me change it, they made me turn everything around because they weren't, you know, the l the lawyers, the legal people, they're always afraid of putting themselves in trouble, right?
So I want to do a movie where I can use all the actual names of the actual people, and I can tell the incidents and the stories and the horrific ways that I experienced them so people can really feel what it was like to go through these traumatic experiences as a child, so they understand how it affects the psyche and how you have to deal with that later in life.
How widespread is pedophilia in Hollywood?
I don't have that answer.
Do you do you but I I don't have the answer is how how widespread is it across the world?
We've already seen the Catholic church.
But let me ask this.
I agree.
We've seen it uh at at uh Penn State.
This is kind of going on all over, right?
So we know it's not just Well, you know of others.
You know of many others in your industry that were victimizes children in this regard.
Many.
Yes.
Yeah.
Um tell us about uh now a lot of people are questioning your motives here.
Um you have called that you want to shine a light on what you've experienced, and you want to prevent other people from ever having to go through the the trauma and abuse that you've experienced.
Absolutely.
That's your reason.
Well, there's more than that.
This is about awareness.
This is about uh awakening people all over the world to what's really going on.
So it's it's it's about wanting to fight for what's right.
It's about good and evil.
To me, this is about good and evil.
There is nothing purer than the innocence of children.
Saving and preserving the innocence of children is the most important thing that we can do.
If we are going to survive as a race, the time is now for us to stand up as one for what's most important.
This is good and evil.
I d I totally agree.
Anyone that can abuse a child in any way, shape, manner, or form, it's horrific.
Yeah, and there's no two ways about people want to mince words, people want to make it a party thing.
It's not a party thing.
It's not funny about that.
These are young kids' lives that are ruined.
How badly is this impacted you personally in your own personal life?
And I can I know I can ask your wife too, and you probably see how it's impacted him and his life.
It's probably I would I would be running from this my whole life.
I've been trying to talk about it my whole life.
I've been shunned, I've been disgraced, I've been discounted and discredited over this.
But on top of it, obviously my career was doing very well, right?
I was in 18 number one movies in a row.
All of a sudden I get arrested for drugs at 17 years old, which granted I was a drug addict, I paid my dues and I did what I had to do.
I got sober two years later, never returned.
I've never been in the news, never been arrested, never had any of those problems for the last twenty-five years, okay?
When was I ever given my Robert Downey Jr. second chance?
When was I ever given that that shot to be back on top?
Never.
And you believe it's because people feared that you're telling the truth.
or know that you're telling the truth.
No, people knew at that time that I had a lot of information, and they knew that it was much better to sweep me under the carpet and forget about me Yeah than it was to allow me to become But in fairness to you, you've become very successful in your musical career.
And that's yes, only because I did it independently.
Again, no major label is ever backed me.
Yeah.
No major anything has ever backed me since all of this went down.
I've been doing this on my own.
I independently created a record label, I created a company, I created all of these things, both with my own finance, with independent financers, and with even crowdsourcing.
I've made these things possible.
How thank God for my fans, or I wouldn't be here today.
That's the bottom line.
How how well known will some of the names be?
You talk about low-level people that are involved in this pedophilia.
How how many well known household names?
There's only one that I know of, but that's not the person that molested me.
So we have to be very clear.
I cannot go on record and say he did these things because he didn't do them to me.
I know the effects that it had on my best friend, and he told me.
I think I know the story.
The best friend isn't alive now, is he?
No, he's not.
I know the I know the story you're talking about.
I know the torment that he went through.
And I saw that torment from when he was fourteen years old because that's when I was introduced to him, and that's when he told me about it the very first day that we met.
And this person, if I'm correct, was raped.
He was raped.
Courtney, um, I know you guys have been together five years.
You recently got married.
Congratulations.
What impact do you see that all of this has had on your husband?
He he carries a lot of guilt and shame over the situation.
And I know that for his own healing, I think it's really important for him to do this so that he can release this burden from his shoulders and and kind of cleanse his hisself of this.
It's very important for him.
Why I and I'm asking just a a straight up honest question.
You're a victim, Corey.
If you're 14, you're a kid.
Yeah.
You're a child.
Yeah.
These are adults we're talking about abusing you.
Right.
And look, I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm not a psychologist.
Um, but to me, I would I would just say, as an outsider that only wants you to be successful and happy in your life.
That's all I want for anybody.
I would imagine you've got to get to a point where you understand you are a kid.
You're a child, you were abused.
I do.
And your wife is saying you you carry guilt.
You you you're not the party that should be guilty here.
No, but it you have to understand that when I go on my social media every single day, people sit there and tell me that I'm no better than the pedophiles themselves because I won't just name names because I won't throw myself under the bus and leave myself hung out to dry.
That's what they expect of me.
And it's wrong.
It's wrong, but I have to deal with this every day.
Look at I'm not trying to hide anything.
I'm the most vocal person in Hollywood.
Who else?
Who else is standing with me right now?
Everybody's like, it's almost like from Hollywood who said, I stand with Corey.
Or yeah, I was there too.
I know these stories.
Those are true.
Yeah, let me stand behind you and make sure that you don't get left to slaughter.
Nobody has done it yet.
I'm calling on you.
Where are all my friends?
Where are all my people in Hollywood?
Where are you to stand up and say something about what I'm saying and show them this is legitimate and true?
Everybody's afraid.
Everybody's afraid.
Take a quick break, a few more minutes with uh Courtney and Corey Feldman.
All right, as we continue with Corey Feldman, his wife Courtney is with us.
He's launched a truth campaign.
He's trying to shine a light of pedophilia in the modeling music, Hollywood industry, and then frankly, anywhere that it's taking place.
There's so many people that are victims, and it's not the easiest thing to say, oh, so and so did it for me, because at that the moment you name a name, then it becomes a war.
Right.
And then you get they're gonna have their PR people, their people, they're all gonna surrender.
If you don't have the money to fight that war, it's what happened.
They'll beat the crap out of you.
Okay, so this is what I'm telling people.
My campaign that I have begun, Corey's Truth campaign, it's on Indiegogo.
Please go make a donation.
If you want to win this war, I'm not saying that it's about money.
I don't care about money.
I've never been a money-driven person.
A movie costs what a movie costs to make, okay?
That's how I'm gonna tell the story.
Okay, so let's say we've got a budget for the movie, we've got a budget for my protection, and we've got a budget for my legal fees.
That's it.
There's no extra layers here.
There's nothing in my pocket.
I don't care.
I'm not trying to win off this.
I'm trying to survive, and I'm trying to show people that this is the truth.
Here it is.
It's a fight between good and evil.
Stand with me, show people that you are going to take my side and you're gonna fight for what's right.
But the reality is in modeling music and in Hollywood, and you're right, the Catholic church.
I was raised Catholic.
I was I I was stunned, saddened and angry when I saw not only what happened, but the cover-up surrounding it all.
Yeah.
And I and I I can't even go to the church anymore.
That doesn't mean there aren't good priests, there aren't good people and bishops and it's the same in Hollywood.
Right.
And that's what I'm saying.
That's the same in Hollywood.
I know I have good friends there.
I've talked to three people this week who are Hollywood child actors who've said to me, we all know the names.
There's all of them, there's gotta be say something.
Why is every childhood actor for the most part, there are exceptions.
Um, a way to live his life and he's not messed up.
Nice man's got his thing.
He's so nice.
Yeah.
But so many others, like the kids I grew up watching, and I'm I don't know what you how old you are, but they all come up, they they get out of the fame and their lives are so much.
Why do you think this is?
Let's look at the static problem.
I'm beginning to listen to you.
But systematic problems alcohol things right, but why?
Why do they go to drugs and alcohol?
Because they're trying to cover up pain.
Some great trauma has had to have happened to them to force them to all want to do drugs and alcohol.
Corey, I've never met you before you walked in the studio today.
Never met you.
That's true.
You are extraordinarily convincing.
I believe you.
There's a sincerity to what you're saying and a passion in us.
I think you're doing the right thing.
And if people want to uh help you out, you can tell them where to go to help you.
All right.
Well, basically the bottom line is my vision is to create a film that is an actual motion picture with actors with scripts with music with visual effects, the whole thing, but through a child's perspective, showing what I lived, what I experienced both with meeting all these amazing people, and also these horrific experiences that I had to experience, both in and out of my home.
You know, I also suffered immense abuse physically and emotionally from my parents.
So there's all of that is going to be in the movie.
Last question.
I I remember your name came up with Michael Jackson, but you said he never would mistreated you.
That's right.
I think he was uh I think he was a Prattfall.
I think he was a scapegoat for this entire thing.
I think they literally pinned it on him.
Is it because if he was so different and because he liked it?
Come on, it's an easy target, right?
Well, and he gave that story.
I tuck him in, I give him cookies, that famous, infamous video.
It looks weird.
It looks weird.
But if you're the kind of person that, you know, the way I knew Michael, he just didn't think like normal people.
He wasn't a guy.
You didn't go like, hey, let's go shoot, you know, uh pistols.
Let's go shoot a game, or let's go, you know, play ball, or let's go whatever.
Let's go fishing, let's go boating.
He's not that guy.
But I would argue, you know, looking back at his career that he got screwed up in the entertainment business big time.
That's exactly right.
They turned on him.
But why?
Yeah.
It all comes down to the big white.
Anyway, truth campaign, it's on indiegogo.com.
Your funds will help pay for the movie so I can expose the truth and it will be 100% true, unedited.
On top of that.
No lawyers.
No lawyers, no district.
I'm taking care of the distribution.
We're four walling the theaters.
We're gonna make sure it actually gets into theaters.
I had to do that.
I had a money, I had to do that.
But I gotta get the money.
That's the thing.
If I don't get the money, there's no way I can actually possibly pay to do that.
On top of that, I'm gonna need lawyers to protect me from the people who are gonna come after me.
They're all gonna make claims and they're all gonna say it's fraudulent and blah, blah, blah.
So I'm gonna need to protect myself.
I'm also gonna need security, because as you can see, my life is probably in danger.
We don't know, but I'm gonna say it's a good chance.
I uh I wish you success in exposing every one of these psychos.
So uh thank you for being with us.
Sorry what has happened in your life, Courtney.
You married way up, you know that, right?
Thank you.
Wait, like she's way out of your league.
Of course, you know, a thousand miles.
I'm very grateful.
All right, guys, thank you.
Appreciate it.
Good luck in this campaign.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right, 800 nine-four one Sean Tollfrey telephone number.
President Trump's unprincipled effort to stoke a Lynch mob atmosphere while seeking our nation's highest office has cast a dark cloud over the case.
Every American should be offended by his assault on the fair administration of justice and his disdain for basic constitutional rights.
Sergeant Bergdal is grateful to his fellow soldiers and to the command at Fort Sam Euston, who have respected his privacy, attended to his medical needs, and permitted him to do his duty as a soldier since his reintegration more than three years ago.
Uh this has been a terrible ordeal.
Uh against the background of ordeal that you're all familiar with.
Uh the time during Judge Nance's deliberations has been particularly uh uh anxiety inducing for obvious reasons.
He's he's certainly glad this is over.
You know, there are a lot of people that died.
I didn't hear the attorney for Bo Bergdahl in any way, shape, manner, or form mentioning the deaths of those fellow show soldiers.
Oh, they're great, he's grateful after he abandoned his post and was looking for the Taliban, which was all picked up on radio, which we had reported many many times.
And uh today uh we'll do something I doubt the media will do.
We'll mention the names of the people.
Private first class Morris Walker, he was killed while searching for Bo Bergdahl.
Then you have Staff Sergeant Clayton Bowen.
He was killed looking for Bo Bergdahl.
And Staff Sergeant Kurt Curtis, he was killed Looking for Bo Bergdahl.
And second lieutenant Darren Andrews killed looking for Bo Bergdahl.
And Private First Class Matthew Martinick killed while looking for Bergdahl.
And Staff Sergeant Michael Murphy killed while looking for Bergdahl.
So I think you understand that this idea he's grateful to his fellow soldiers and many others were injured in the process.
You had then President Obama basically calling him a hero.
Let's compare his words to that of Donald Trump.
With respect to how we announced it, I think it was important for people to understand that this is not some abstraction.
This is not a political football.
you have a couple of parents whose kid volunteered to fight in a distant land.
Who they hadn't seen in five years and weren't sure whether they'd ever see again.
And as commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces, I am responsible for those kids.
And I get letters from parents who say if you are in fact sending my child into war, make sure that that child is being taken care of.
And I write too many letters to folks who unfortunately uh don't see their children again uh after fighting a war.
Um I make absolutely no apologies for making sure that we get back uh a young man to his parents and that the American people understand that uh this is somebody's child.
Um, and that uh we don't condition whether or not we make the effort to try to get them back.
Sergeant Bergwell, there are a lot of questions about how he originally was captured, whether or not he had a deserted, had left uh his post.
Is that going to be investigated?
And if it's found that he did indeed uh leave his post, will he be disciplined or is already paid the price?
Certainly uh anybody who's been held in those conditions in captivity for five years has paid an extraordinary price, but that that is really uh not the point.
The point is that he's back.
He's going to be safely reunited with his family.
He served the United States with honor and distinction, and we'll have the opportunity eventually to learn what has transpired in in the past years.
But what's most important now is his health and well-being, that he have the opportunity uh to recover in peace and security and be uh reunited with his family, uh, which uh is why this is such a joyous day.
Our president doesn't have a clue.
He's a bad negotiator.
He's the one that did Bergdahl.
We get Bergdahl, they get five killer terrorists that everybody wanted over there.
We get Bergdal, we get a traitor, we get a no good traitor, and they get the five people that they've wanted for years, and those people are now back on the battlefield trying to kill us.
All right, there's a very different mindset, isn't there?
Joining us now is Army Specialist Cody Full.
He was Bo Bergdahl's platoon mate, and Captain Roger Hill, author of the book Dog Uh Company, a true story of American soldiers abandoned by their high command.
Uh thank you all for being with us.
Uh let's start with you, Army Specialist Cody Full, and what's your reaction to this news today?
Uh he had his lank rank lowered, dishonorable discharge, but at the end of the day, no jail time, and your fellow platoon mates are dead.
Um absolutely disgusted.
Um speechless.
I just um, you know, and they didn't even he can profit from his story as well.
Um he gets to keep his back pay, which is over three hundred thousand dollars.
So him being fined ten thousand dollars is nothing.
Um you mean the back pay when he was out searching for the Taliban?
Yeah.
So he's gonna keep over probably three hundred thousand dollars.
He's probably gonna make millions off his book and movie deal with Mark Bowl, while the rest of the people that lost loved ones sit at home with nothing.
So, way to go, America, way to go army.
You continue to reward failure.
Wow.
Wow.
Did you know any of these guys that died?
Uh yeah, I served with Martinick and uh Darren Andrews.
Yeah.
And how many others were injured looking for Bergdahl that you know of?
Uh, well, I mean, in the trial, they had the uh Navy SEAL who's shot in the leg, and uh his his dog died.
Um, and then they had that uh Sergeant First Class's wife who testified that he, you know, he was shot in the head and he's left paralyzed.
So she's no longer his wife.
Um, I mean, she still is his wife, technically, but she's his caregiver now because he literally could not do anything, and they have beautiful children.
So unbelievable.
Captain Roger Hill, welcome back.
Good to talk to you, sir.
Um, thank you for being with us.
Your thoughts on today.
Yeah, I'm I'm just a dismayed.
I mean, uh it it's unbelievable the inconsistency of the standard that's being applied.
Maybe the only thing that's consistent here is that the standard isn't consistently applied so often.
We've got many uh soldiers, uh, some officers that are in Leavenworth right now, as you know, the Clint Lorances, the Derek Millers, who've served their country honorably, and they've been awarded prison time for doing their jobs and trying to save lives, and then we've got someone who's basically uh a traitor um who's gonna be allowed to walk free um with uh you know over a quarter million dollars.
It's it's mind blowing.
Let me did you know any of these guys, Captain Roger Hill.
I don't think you did, did you?
No, I I I did not, or you know, uh but you know, the the story, um just in terms of the injustice, you know, Dog Company, a true story of American soldiers abandoned by their high command.
As you recall, um, we found spies on our base.
Yep.
Try to get our higher command to remove the spies.
They didn't do it.
Spies for weeks.
They didn't do it.
So we took actions in our own hands, and a handful of my guys who were part of the interrogation efforts under my command were given other than honorable discharges themselves and afforded uh also awarded prison time.
So I I understand you know the inequality of the standard being applied very intimately.
You know, I'm listening to you, Army specialist Cody Fole, you were there.
Did you hear the tapes?
Remember, I know that there was radio communication that there were people saying that there's some American that's looking for the Taliban, and that was the first indication that he had gone off on his own and made a conscious decision of that.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, I was uh we had two guys with us, and their job was to uh they have this big box and their job was to intercept uh traffic.
They're actually from the Texas National Guard, and uh that's where I'm prompt, so it's kind of ironic.
But um, yeah, I was sitting there listening to the whole thing.
Yeah.
In other words, and which would be the strangest.
So anyway, in spite of him deserting and leaving and seeking out the Taliban, you know, all of these people died.
You got you know, all these names that I mentioned, and you knew a couple of these guys personally.
You know, I almost hear such anger in you that it's like infuriating to you.
Am I reading you right?
Yeah, I'm pretty mad.
Um if we're on TV right now, I think I'm about the same shade as a fire truck.
Yeah.
It's just um you have guys that served honorably, you know, and they they come home and they they're dealing with with issues, and they might have, you know, a couple extra beers at a bar one night and get popped for a DUI, which I'm not condoning, but then they get kicked to the curb and have less benefits than this guy's doing, and he turned his back on his own country.
Um the guy's a coward, he's a clown.
He wouldn't look anybody in the eye that he served with last week at the trial.
He didn't have enough gall to do that, but he has enough gall to, you know, say, well, woe is me.
I think I still deserve my benefits, and I'm sorry.
You know, it's just it's just mind-blowing, really.
And what can you tell us about those two guys you knew of the ones searching for Bergdahl that got killed?
Well, I mean, they're honorable Americans.
They were doing their job um wrong place at the wrong time, obviously.
Um both really good guys.
In the wrong place in the wrong time because a platoon member left.
Yeah, it's uh I can't even imagine what what their family members are going through today.
I know how I feel.
Um I'm I'm going to assume that they're a hundred times worse than me.
He played a clip earlier of Obama talking about writing letters to family, which is utter horse crap, because I know both those family members didn't get a letter from him at all.
So I have no idea what he's talking about, but he's the same person that had an administration's come out, attack us, character assassinate us, and try to say this guy served an honor and distinction when obviously that's not the case.
Wow.
I'll give you the last word, Captain Roger Hill.
Yeah, I I think the American public has a right to be outraged.
Um I think we should be asking some pretty serious questions right now.
Um and I I I mean, I I hope there's a way that something like this can be looked at again.
I I don't know if there is.
Maybe this is you know the final word, but my goodness, how how upside down, how backwards have we become um to to allow this to happen.
Uh shame on the military leadership and the military legal system for allowing this to happen.
Yeah, thank you both.
Uh sorry, uh Army specialist Cody Fole to the families.
I know you know the Martnik family, the Andrews family, all these families that lost loved ones.
I'm sure they're having a tough day.
My thoughts and prayers with all of them and our thanks to both of you, Captain Roger Hill.
Good to have you back.
We appreciate it.
Thanks so much.
Thank you.
Take care.
Imagine you send your kids off to battle conflict.
This happens, they died, they're searching.
Well, the Army's gonna cut them a $300,000 check.
Unbelievable.
800 941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Let's get to our busy telephones.
800 941 Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Stanley is in Miami, Florida, News Radio 610 WIOD.
What's going on, sir?
How are you?
Yeah, I'm just calling about your fantastic movie, Let There Be Light.
Uh that is a tremendous thing.
I've seen it, and uh thankfully, as you know, you expanded to about two or three times as many screens this weekend.
So we got a lot of people down here very excited to try and see it this weekend for the first time.
Boy, you you know more about me than I yes.
Listen, the only reason this film's been successful is um it's a it's an outstanding movie.
All right, I got a question.
Did you cry?
Did I cry?
Oh, don't ask things like that.
Yes.
And guys guys don't want to admit they cry ever, but that's funny.
Well, well, people and and the reason I know a lot about it is because I've kind of one of my hobbies is is to kind of spread the word about good inspirational faith-based films.
So when yours came up on the radar, yeah, I was really spreading the word, and sadly, the first week I'm in South Miami area, it was way in the north, and a lot of people weren't able to get up there, and then thankfully it did, as you know, so well opening weekend that it uh spread to so many more things.
By the way, this is not a stage call.
This is you really are into movies, I because you the what you're saying is exactly true.
Look, then you understand.
We we didn't go with a big studio.
We wanted the freedom and the independence.
We didn't want to be told what to do.
Um, I'm very proud of how this thing came out, and the reaction is overwhelmingly uh positive.
I mean, we had over 90% rating on Rotten Pot uh Tomatoes, which is hard to get if you're a movie guy, you know that.
And what's really incredible is that this movie, unlike you know, your cookie cutter, violence, sex, you know, cartoons.
I guess we got a new cartoon movie coming out this weekend.
That's in 4,000 theaters.
We were in 373 last week, so but as an independent film, we'll be over, I think 700 this week.
And what I love about it was my original intention for getting involved in it is that it is touching people's hearts, emotions, souls.
It's got a spiritual quality to it.
It's it's everything that Hollywood doesn't give us.
And that was my only reason for getting involved in it.
And you know, to have this reaction has been overwhelming to me.
We have the the new listings up on Hannity.com.
Well, let me let me tell you, and let me be really honest and no flattery intended.
The quality is top-notch.
It's top notch.
And the acting, everything, the story is tremendous.
I love the guy.
Ran Sacey, yeah.
That's a true story.
You know, that's a true story.
He was in the mob.
He was a high member mob, I think the Colombo crime family.
His father was a top-ranking officer in that family, and he literally went to jail.
His father, his own father put out a hit on his life.
And while he was in jail, a guard gave him a Bible, and he's it changed his life.
And that's how he talks.
That's who he is.
That was he was playing himself.
And I'll tell you that scene, if it's some of the audience, I know your audience would understand.
The film is very evangelistic.
And the scene with him is great, great sharing with the Kevin Sorbo, you know, character.
Uh one of my favorite parts of the movie, but there's just see with a movie like this, there's so many different aspects.
It hits different people in different ways.
You've got the the drunk driving scene and Savannah.
All right, all right.
Are you gonna give too much of the movie?
The only thing I will say, and is, and and thank you so much for really loving the movie.
Um, that makes me feel good.
I only had one person, I like it, and the majority of people are writing me that it is touched them deeply.
All right, we have an amazing Hannity tonight at nine.
Hope you go see Let There Be Light This Weekend.
Now double the theaters, Hannity.com.
Uh, we will look into Hillary stealing the primary.
We'll look into the dossier, we'll look into Uranium One and all the other news of the day.
