	Thanksgiving week.
	We always have so much to be thankful for.
	I don't know.
	With in the age of Donald Trump in the first year of his presidency, one has to wonder.
	Um wow, what's it going to be like around some of those some of those Thanksgiving Day dinner tables?
	We actually have dinner early that day.
	And watch a little football.
	You know what it's going to be like for some imagine if you're a conservative and you like Donald Trump and you watch Fox and then you go home and then there's a fake news CNN fan.
	Maybe you found the only one in the country.
	It happens to be in your family.
	Or there's a uh conspiracy theory TV Rachel Mannow lover on the other side of the table, or an Antifa member or a Occupy member or a radical whatever.
	And you sit there and you start giving your take on world events.
	I mean, what?
	Stuffing starts flying, and you know what I'll do tomorrow?
	I think I'll do this tomorrow.
	I think we'll do Dr. Hannity tomorrow.
	How do you deal with your crazy liberal leftist relatives around the Thanksgiving Day dinner without killing each other?
	Without having a stuffing war or a mash mash potato war would be funny.
	You know, or or maybe take a little cranberry sauce and throwing that sucker across the wall or turkey legs flying.
	You know, here.
	You'll be sitting across from a PETA member and say, hey, you want the wing?
	Fly it on over to the dinner.
	Uh what?
	You're laughing.
	No, because people there are many people that are gonna go home and be sitting with relatives that hate Donald Trump, and then you like Donald Trump, and it's gonna be ugly.
	It's you know, some people live in the Midwest and and Red State America, they're gonna be going up, their blue state relatives are coming to see them, probably because it's warmer.
	And they're or what vice versa, it doesn't matter.
	You know, you're going back to you live in Alabama or Tennessee or somewhere Georgia, and now you're going back to New York.
	Oh boy.
	You live in South Carolina, North Carolina, you're heading on up to New Jersey for the for Thanksgiving dinner.
	And you're gonna see, you know, crazy commie liberal anti uh anti M. And you're gonna have a Little back and forth over politics.
	I can't believe I don't know.
	Listen, for me, it's easy.
	But for other people, that's like a really hard thing to deal with.
	If it happens to me, I'll say, go get another drink.
	You need it.
	Don't worry, I'll save the country for you.
	I just make sarcastic remarks.
	So I'm going to give advice to specific such situations tomorrow about what's happening.
	Anyway, happy Monday.
	Very happy today that we will be able to break.
	And we've been telling you the uranium one story.
	I told you there's a lot of new news coming.
	If you want to get a sneak peek of what's coming up, you can go to Hannity.com.
	Sarah Carter now is blowing wide open this treasure trove of documents.
	Remember, we have the FBI informant over four years.
	He was able to penetrate, infiltrate the Vladimir Putin uh cartel, if you will, inside the United States, whose intentions were to get a foothold in the uranium industry in America.
	This is where these crimes of black uh blackmail and extortion and racketeering and money laundering and kickbacks was taking place, and they knew this a year and a half before.
	Uh I saw that Rita Cosby did a an interview uh with Hillary Clinton, and her answers were, you know, typical vast right wing conspiracy nonsense, and that was I'm like, that's the best you can do at this point in time.
	That's pretty bad.
	Um why is my printer not working on a daily basis?
	I don't understand this for the life of me.
	I think we got to get a new printer in here.
	We just got a new, I think we got new jets for it, didn't we?
	I I think we did.
	All right.
	Um, you know, one of the things that is happening, uh, I see that Al Franken now has uh been accused of yet another allegation by a woman, and today's allegation, if you look at the Washington Post, they're basically saying that this could be the end for Franken.
	I'm not so sure.
	But anyway, in this post-Harvey Weinstein era, one allegation of of sexual misconduct, you know, that was enough for most Senate Democrats to say the Senate Ethics Committee should investigate.
	I thought that was mostly a delay tactic, but in the case of Leanne Tweedon and then Melanie Morgan came out, but they didn't ask for him to resign, just like Democrats never asked for Bill Clinton to resign.
	But the, you know, that could charge that could change with this new allegation that's out there, and I think it, you know, for a few reasons, it's even more damning for Franken right now.
	The second allegation raises questions of whether this is a pattern of behavior for Franken.
	You know, in other words, is it possible that Franken could have successfully navigated the Tweedon allegations and the Melanie Morgan allegations with his political career intact.
	He said he didn't remember the kiss backstage at the USO tour the way that she did.
	You know, one of the things that really surprised me the most in this whole Franken thing is there was a lot of details that were left out by the media about Al Franken.
	And this is where media bias kicks in nearly all the time.
	And that is, yeah, so Leanne Tweeden comes out.
	Melanie Morgan came out.
	We know those allegations, and then you go back and you take a look.
	Senator Franken apologized, said he's embarrassed.
	I heard that he had sent an email or a text to Leanne Tweedon directly at this point, and he agreed to the Senate ethics investigation, and he agreed that, yeah, that was true of him groping Leanne Tweedon while she was asleep on a USO tour.
	And pretty creepy and disgusting on top of it, like a lot of these allegations are.
	They're pretty creepy and disgusting.
	But anyway, Franken is also being accused of the second woman.
	Now we got the third woman.
	These are all serious allegations.
	They need to be investigated.
	I stand consistent in that.
	Okay, this new allegation, you got, you know, it becomes at some point a he said she said.
	I don't know if it's gonna come down to the people of Minnesota or or if it even gets that far.
	We'll have to wait, watch and see.
	But um, but when it comes to Franken, he has a long history of making all kinds of vicious, vile, completely out of line comments.
	Nobody in the media ever paid any attention to this.
	And he's a massive hypocrite when it comes to sexual harassment.
	You know, in 95, when Franken was working on Saturday Night Live, there was a skit where he suggested drugging.
	I'm not making this up.
	Drugging and raping Leslie Stahl.
	Leslie Stahl is a correspondent at 60 minutes.
	And he said the quote at the time was, Well, I'll give pills to Leslie Stahl.
	And then when Leslie's passed out, I'll take her to the closet and I'll rape her.
	That's why you never see Leslie until February.
	Or when she passes out, I'll put her in various positions and take pictures of her.
	Which is particularly more creepy because that's what he did to Leanne Tweedon, as we saw last week.
	I is it just me?
	I mean, how do you make a joke about raping a woman and think that that's funny?
	There's nothing funny about it.
	And then in 2000, Franken wrote a satirical article for Playboy.
	The headline was Pornorama.
	And we can't even read most of it on the air, but one party wrote, well, I'm talking, of course, about the internet, which is the terrific learning tool for our kids.
	A couple of years ago, my son was 12 years old to use the internet for a sixth grade report on bestiality.
	And in the article, Franken goes on to fantasize about a machine that would perform oral sex on him.
	And then in 2008, when Franken was running for the Senate, he was forced to apologize for what he wrote in Playboy for his crude and appalling comments about Leslie Stahl, but now he has a new book that I guess just came out in the last year.
	He said he faked all these apologies, that they weren't real.
	He says, quote, to say I was sorry for writing a joke was to sell out my career to sell out who I'd been my entire life, and I wasn't sorry that I had written porn rama, nor was I sorry that I pitched the Leslie Stahl joke at two in the morning I was doing my job.
	So I guess from this point forward, when you talk about Al Franken, you can only assume that any apology he's making, he's just full of crap, and Senator Groping is absolutely has no intention of taking any responsibility.
	He's always been onhing, too.
	And I've had my first hand experience with this guy.
	He's absolutely unhinged out of his mind.
	And but it makes you wonder, you know, what else is out there?
	I mean, then you got an another rape joke that he had put out over time.
	Just very strange stuff that I don't know.
	But the fascinating thing about this, and I the Washington Post saying a second grope allegation could be the end of his the end of the road for him.
	I tend not to believe that only because of how Democrats surround the wagons and protect their own.
	I mean, that's just what they do, and they're good at it, and they don't care about the hypocrisy.
	And the one of the things that I find fascinating is, you know, when you go back to uh Kirsten Gillibrand in New York, okay, finally, you know, she came out and said, Yeah, he Bill Clinton should have been out of office after what he had done with Monica Lewinsky.
	But just to be clear, so is it your view that the President Clinton should have stepped down at that time given the allegations?
	I yes, I think that is the appropriate response, but um I think things have changed today, and I think under those circumstances there should be a very different reaction.
	And I think in light of this conversation, we should have a very different conversation about President Trump, and a very different conversation about allegations against him than is currently than what has been had to date and what's currently being had.
	All right, so and by the way, Hillary defended the groper Al Franken on Friday, and she was speaking to uh Rita Cosby, a former colleague of mine and former Secretary of State, actually praised Franken for confessing after the smoking gun photo emerged.
	He didn't confess only because of the photo.
	Instead, she pointed the finger at President Trump.
	That's by the way, that was the media's takedown.
	Here's what's happening.
	All these allegations, all of this stuff going on.
	Liberals for 30 years have been nothing but hypocrites on this issue of sexual harassment.
	The worst have been the Clintons, and the next worst are all there those that make excuses and defended all those years the indefensible and the tactics of shaming women that made allegations.
	And by when Hillary's, you know, out there, she still to this day protects her husband.
	So you got now all of a sudden sexual harassment has taken on a level of importance, which I think is appropriate, uh real sexual harassment.
	And, you know, now we've got People saying, like, oh, the uh the a day of reckoning now for the Clintons is coming.
	Feminists saved the 42nd president of the United States in the 90s.
	They were on the wrong side of history, and it's finally time to make things right.
	That was in the Atlantic.
	It's about time.
	Finally, 30 years later, oh, and when the Clintons have no chance of ever achieving power again.
	A little too convenient.
	I believe Juanita, the headline in the New York Times.
	Then you got other people, you know, over one guy over MSNBC actually said a gross and cynical and hypocritical as the rights can be about what about Bill Clinton stuff is it's also true.
	The Democrats center left are overdue for a real reckoning with the allegations against him.
	They're only saying this for one reason.
	Because they can't get anything out of the Clintons anymore.
	But if you knew if you know now that it was wrong, you had to know then.
	And where were you when these women were besmirched and slandered?
	You told they totally compromise what they say is their value for political expediency.
	That's what happened.
	Let's not sit here all sanctimonious.
	Yeah, we're now on the right side of history after 30 years of defending the indefensible.
	All right, we'll take a quick break.
	We'll come back.
	Busy show.
	Newt Gingrich at the top of the next hour and much more.
	Hey, you know what?
	It sounds too good to be true.
	There's a good chance, guys out there, when Tommy John says their underwear never rides up, well, you can take that to the bank.
	Now, Tommy John is state of the art in terms of they have redefined comfort for men everywhere, including myself.
	Every pair of Tommy Johns is crafted from feather light, breathable fabrics that move with you, not against you, providing the perfect balance of support and of course mind-blowing comfort.
	Now, these guys have thought of everything when it comes to giving all men the comfort they deserve, they want, and they need.
	Plus, all their underwear is backed by the best pair you'll ever wear, or it's free.
	Guarantee you've got nothing to lose.
	So change out of that unsightly, ill-fitting multi-pack underwear.
	Yet Tommy John's, it's worth it.
	No adjustment needed.
	Experience the comfort you never knew existed.
	Just go to Tommyjohn.com slash Hannity.
	You get 20% off your first order.
	That's Tommyjohn.com slash Hannity, 20% off.
	Tommy John.com slash Hannity.
	You will never regret it.
	I'm not sure why this even became an issue over the weekend, except your phony fake news media made it a bigger one than it was.
	The president said Sunday, well, maybe you should have left the three UCLA basketball players in jail after the father of one of the three players that he saved from getting in trouble and got them out of China after he got him released from shoplifting charges in China.
	He said now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LeVar Ball, who is the father of Liangelo is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal.
	I should have just left him in jail.
	What is the first thing you think the liberal left-wing fake news media insinuates on this?
	Racism.
	That's a dog with racism.
	How is that racism?
	How is that?
	How about the only issue in play here is one.
	If it's your child that did something stupid, and somebody, and kids do stupid things in college, you know, it's a worse nightmare if you have a kid in college.
	You have no idea how stupid they're going to be.
	Because especially boys, like half their brains are formed.
	Really?
	It's true.
	They don't mature to like 25 or six, if you ask the experts.
	And so anyway, so somebody comes and goes to bat to save your kid.
	They did something stupid.
	They stole glasses.
	You know, it wasn't even a lot of money.
	I just made no sense at all on a server.
	Just a dumb thing.
	Kids make stupid mistakes sometimes.
	So the president goes directly to the Chinese president and says, Hey, can you do me a favor?
	You know, can you let these guys out?
	Done.
	Gets the deal done.
	Now the only thing that needs to be said from that moment forward is thank you, sir.
	We really appreciate you standing up for us and helping us out.
	It means a lot to us.
	Because the three UCLA players, you know, freshman Liangelo Ball and Cody Riley and Jalen Hill, they were held by Chinese authorities at the team hotel in China after being arrested for allegedly stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store.
	Trump had arrived in China as part of his 12 day trip, and he said he personally asked the Chinese president to get involved.
	But LeVar Ball told ESPN he doubted that Trump played a role in the release last week of his son and his two UCLA teammates, who, he said, told the sports network when asked about Trump, who was he uh over there for?
	Don't tell me nothing.
	Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.
	Wow.
	I know for a fact this happened.
	I've confirmed it with three people.
	Isn't that pretty?
	I mean, why don't you just say thank you?
	Thank you, sir, Mr. President, for caring about my son.
	I appreciate it.
	And I'll take care of business at home, and that's not going to happen again.
	you All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	I'm not going to spend a lot of time because we're going to lay this out tonight.
	Exactly 30 years of defending the predator behavior of the Clintons.
	An expose on America's news media, corrupt as they are, and the Democrats in this country.
	It is breathtaking what they have done.
	It is breathtaking what they get away with today.
	The double standard is so obnoxious.
	They are just the biggest hypocrites and phonies on the face of this earth.
	Also, I want to remind you tomorrow on this program, we're going to put aside an hour and we'll take calls.
	How do you deal with your Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Trump hating relatives around the Thanksgiving Day table?
	If you want to call in, I'll give you some advice on that.
	And I think that's going to get pretty interesting.
	You know, you think back, I mean, this is just so outrageous.
	The 30 years of abuse that any woman that came forward with the Clintons, it all turns out to be true.
	You know, go to the very first woman.
	There is a reckoning now coming, except they don't want the reckoning.
	And I'll tell you one of the reasons that some of these liberals are now saying, oh, this is horrible.
	This is terrible.
	It's only because they don't need anything from the Clintons anymore.
	They weren't going to say it in 2016.
	They're only saying it in 2017 because it's politically convenient.
	Because the Clintons are done.
	There's nothing to get from the Clintons anymore, throwing them overboard.
	You know, Jennifer Flowers came out at the time.
	She had a 12-year affair with Bill Clinton.
	And she even released phone conversations that were beyond damning at the time.
	And then what did the Clintons do?
	They set up a war room and they spring into action and did everything to smear her and discredit her.
	And Bill and Hillary then appear on 60 Minutes together to deny, quote, the charges.
	And they attacked Flowers' character.
	You know, it turns out that she wasn't lying.
	Bill admitted only one affair, but it was a lot of evidence, in fact, that Jennifer Flowers had told the truth from the very beginning.
	Hillary Clinton went out of her way at that time, told Vanity Fair.
	Well, if I'd been in front of a jury, now again, Bill Clinton admitted under oath years later.
	They went on 60 minutes before he went up to get elected in 1992.
	And they absolutely denied it.
	And then under oath, he had to admit it in the Paula Jones case.
	And Hillary's saying at the time, this is the woman now saying, Well, we've got to believe these women.
	They have a right to be believed.
	She said, Well, if I've been in front of a jury, I'd say, Miss Miss Flowers, isn't it true?
	You were asked by the AP in June of 1990, and you said no.
	Weren't you asked by the Arkansas Democrat and you said no?
	I mean Hillary's words.
	I would crucify her.
	Wow, crucify her?
	Yikes.
	In his book about Hillary, Carl Bernstein wrote that Clinton referred to Jennifer Flowers as, quote, trailer trash, and that Clinton undertook a aggressive campaign to go after Flowers.
	Flowers was just the first one.
	I'd interviewed her many times.
	Then Paula Jones, and she talked about repeatedly, never changed the story about how Bill Clinton dropped his pants and showed him his private parts, which is very bizarre.
	I don't know why we have more examples of people doing this every day.
	Very strange.
	Anyway, he ended up paying for paying Jones $850,000.
	Remember, there was the distinguishing characteristics issue that came up at the time.
	And he lost his license to practice law for five years.
	And many outlets, you know, you may forget James Carville works for fake news CNN.
	Well, he said it well, you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you're gonna find.
	Jones later said that there was no way that Hillary didn't know.
	And then, of course, Monica Lewinsky, we all know what happened there.
	And of course, I did not have sex with that one.
	They lied repeatedly.
	And remember what happened, you know, the th the way they tried to go after this 22-year-old girl.
	According to the journal entry made by Hillary's friend Diane Blair, she described Hillary's reaction to the Winski scandal as quote, well, she says to his credit that he tried to break it off.
	He tried to pull away, tried to manage someone who is clearly a narcissistic loony tune and is beyond control.
	Wow.
	Nice thing to say about a 22-year-old girl.
	In an interview with Diane Sawyer, Hillary was given the chance to deny she ever said it.
	She declined to comment.
	And Kathleen Willie, I know Kathleen Willie have interviewed her many times.
	And she went in because uh to get an interview, her husband was in trouble at that time, and she needed a job desperately, a paid job, and she had known Bill Clinton, gets the interview.
	Anyway, long story short, she said uh next thing that ends up happening to her is Clinton starts grabbing her against her will, kissing her against her will, fondling her against her will.
	Of course, she was called all sorts of names.
	And Juanita Broderick.
	I was the second person to interview her, and she explained how Bill Clinton had raped her.
	Now we've got articles saying, I believe Juanita in the New York Times.
	A little bit late.
	Hillary's defending Al Franken.
	Hillary defet defended him, saying the allegations against Bill have been disproven.
	Actually said that to Rita Cosby.
	You know, Hillary says, look at the contrast between Al Franken accepting responsibility.
	Roy Moore and Donald Trump have done neither.
	Let me ask you about Al Franken, because as you talked about with Roy Moore, of course, um, some pretty serious allegations, Secretary Clinton, have come out about Al Franken.
	Allegations of sexual harassment and also sexual assault.
	Should he resign because he is a sitting senator?
	Look, Al Franken uh, you know, is a friend of mine, and I deeply regret uh what he did.
	There's no excuse for his behavior, none at all.
	Uh, but he's called for an investigation.
	He's apologized to the woman involved.
	Apparently she's accepted the apology.
	Uh so I think we've got to uh, you know, recognize that he he agreed to an ethics investigation.
	It will go to the ethics committee, it will investigate uh whatever uh the situation uh was, and uh they'll decide about uh what if any uh action should be taken uh based on that behavior.
	And I I think that's the appropriate uh process because you know, I think that uh something like that coming into the public arena, uh, and Al's very quick acceptance of responsibility and apology uh and his willingness to be investigated and uh to take the consequences is the kind of accountability I'm talking about.
	I don't hear that from Roy Moore or Donald Trump, do you?
	Didn't hear from her or Bill either.
	She still doesn't accept what had happened.
	He went on to say that these allegations against Bill were dis was disproved.
	He admitted nothing.
	All right, let me get uh to our busy phones, 800-941 Sean.
	You want to be a part of the uh program.
	Uh all right, let's say hi to Daryl is in Claremont.
	Um, sorry, Claremont in Florida.
	Daryl, how are you?
	Glad you call.
	What's up, Daryl?
	How are you, sir?
	Darrell once, twice.
	Uh, Catherine Palm Desert, California on the Sean Hannity show.
	Hi.
	Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
	What's going on?
	Well, I just am a little suspicious of the left newfound sense of sympathy.
	I think they are just using it to somehow use it against Trump in the future.
	I don't think they have anything on him, but just in case.
	I I just I think it's just a little suspicious how all of us I'm there are just so sympathetic uh towards um being responsible for uh the previous actions of the previous president.
	You know, it's it's amazing how I was taken out of context and the whole thing.
	Look, if that happened with a 14-year-old girl, it's above pol it's beyond politics.
	That's despicable, disgusting, nobody supports it.
	But when you talk 30 days before an election and you have one side saying one thing and another side saying another thing, it's we owe the people of Alabama the opportunity to get to the truth.
	You know, there is a scientific side that is bewildering to me that is not being explored.
	I'm not sure attorney Gloria Allred, remember Roy Morit said that he did not know this one particular woman, and then the yearbook thing came in, and I don't know why Gloria Allred is not allowing the yearbook to be looked at because that we would get a definitive forensic scientific answer there as to whether or not the ink was new or old, whether or not it was his handwriting or not.
	I talked to a 42-year professional handwriting person.
	Why isn't that being pursued?
	Why is there resistance on Gloria's part?
	I don't know.
	We try to get in touch with her.
	I'd like to get an answer to that question, and I think j again, I want the people of Alabama to know the truth when they go into the the voting booth.
	Um anyway, I appreciate the call.
	Rhonda is in Atlanta, Georgia, News Talk WSB.
	What's up, Rhonda?
	How are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hi, I'm I'm an independent, I'm a millennial.
	And I just want to say, and I just want to say that I'm really disgusted with the republicans and a Democrat Democrats for both not calling out sexual deviants in their party.
	Everybody's so busy worried about whether they have a R or D that they don't care about the abuse that's being subjected to by women are being subjected to, and it's disgusting.
	I think it should be a pol I think it should be apolitical.
	I agree with you.
	But I'm also disappointed in both parties because they don't get anything done for the people that need help in this country, too.
	I'm disgusted at them for that also.
	I'm disgusted on a lot of levels.
	And I understand that, but Sean, it doesn't matter whether there's R in front of the name.
	I agree.
	I'm not disagreeing with I'm I'm agreeing with you.
	You don't have any arguments.
	I know, but I also see excuses being made.
	I mean, we elected a president who had a past that was questionable.
	And then we have Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton, I don't like what he did either.
	But you can't say that one is worse than the other.
	You can't throw away an allegation because someone's a Republican, and then say, Oh, this is a horrible man because he's a Democrat.
	And I see that going on every single time.
	What specific what specific allegation about President Trump are you referring to?
	But I know the New York Times did that piece, and I remember interviewing many of the women that were quoted in that New York Times piece, and I also remember many of the women came on my show and said and debunked absolutely contradicted what was written about them in that piece.
	So that was a big deal at the time.
	Which specific allegation are you referring to?
	I mean, it was disgusting for me.
	You mean the access Hollywood tape, the locker room talk?
	I'm not gonna I'm not gonna excuse that.
	And I said I said at the time and I'll say it right now is absolutely wrong.
	The one thing that the American but the American people knew it, he did own up to it.
	You know, the reason I'm saying the understanding this isn't politics when I'm saying about thirty years of the Clintons.
	And I understand that, but I mean you gotta look back, you can make I mean it did is disgusting.
	But thirty years of the Democratic Party has gone along with these behaviors of Bill.
	And all of those women that came forward were smeared and slandered.
	And I know look, um I may be a little older than you, but I I interviewed all the women.
	I went I go back that far.
	And I interviewed them numerous times.
	And at the time, you know, then it turns out one after another that they all end up to be true.
	Monica Lewinsky was true.
	Uh the whole story about Paula Jones, well, he had to pay out a settlement in that particular case uh for an awful lot of money and lost his law license for lying.
	And then Kathleen Willie and then Juanita Brought, all these women were were shamed.
	All right.
	I'm I'm something's wrong with the phone here.
	Let's go.
	I know I I don't know what happened.
	I just cut out.
	See if we can get her back.
	All right.
	I can hear her faintly.
	I just can't.
	All right, let's try and get it back.
	Uh Doug is in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
	What's up, Doug?
	How are you?
	Hey, great.
	Yourself.
	Yeah, what's going on?
	How are you?
	Yeah.
	How are you?
	Well, well, it's an honor to talk to you.
	I appreciate everything you do.
	You keep us informed.
	But what my thoughts are, and uh you know, no one knows the truth about these things because nobody's brought been brought through all the trial and all the information gathering and everything else.
	But it seems like uh what was the name of that fella that wrote the book that talked about dividing the population into factions that Obama used for eight years against the American people, and the left is trying to break down all of us into victims and ethnicity groups and everything else, and so all of that has failed.
	So why not break us down into men against women?
	We don't need to be.
	How about we all be Americans and we all treat each other with with respect?
	I think we believe that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, listen, but you you're talking about identity politics.
	The Liberal Party and the Democratic Party lives on identity politics.
	Every election is about, you know, dividing the country, black versus white, old versus young, rich versus poor, men versus women.
	It's every single solitary time and the false narrative of what conservatives are.
	All right, Victoria Tunsing and Sarah Carter.
	Sarah Carter has up on Hannity.com now.
	Treasure Trove of Documents tying Russia to Uranium One validates the FBI informant.
	Uh, you know the guy that now has his NDA lifted, the guy that had infiltrated Putin's uh network in the United States as he was trying to get a foothold in the Iranian market.
	Wow, wait, you see what this guy's got and what we're gonna be hearing.
	This is now gonna cascade very quickly.
	Newt Gingrich will join us also.
	Hannity tonight, nine o'clock.
	Wait till I'm gonna I am gonna lay out the history of hypocrisy and how phony your media is, what a bunch of liars they are, and the same with Democrats, same syndrome.
	Nine Eastern.
	I've got to say uh this is nothing short of extraordinary.
	Let me just tell you, getting two hundred and eighteen members to agree on something as complicated as the most two, yeah.
	Well, we needed two eighteen, but okay.
	Let me rephrase it.
	Getting two hundred and twenty-seven members to agree on something is complicated.
	This country has not rewritten its tax code since nineteen eighty-six.
	This powers of the status quo in this town are so strong.
	Yet two hundred and twenty-seven men and women of this Congress broke through that today.
	That is powerful.
	Of course, I want to thank not just the members who made this possible today.
	I want to thank the president, I want to thank his administration, and I think our partners in the Senate who are doing their work as well.
	I want to congratulate the House of Representatives for passing a vital and historic tax cut last week, and I'm very hopeful the Senate will do the same very soon.
	We're going to give the American people a huge tax cut for Christmas.
	Hopefully, that will be a great big beautiful Christmas present.
	All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show.
	Glad you're with us this Thanksgiving week, 800 941 Sean, toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	Uh we welcome back former Speaker of the House, New Gingrich, Fox News contributor, and I know you've been spending a lot of time in Rome.
	How did you like it?
	How have you liked it so far?
	Well, Chris has done an amazing job as the ambassador to the Vatican.
	It's uh she's been very well received.
	It's a really remarkable experience.
	But I have to say, uh, I I feel the same enthusiasm and excitement uh as Paul Ryan does, as you know, because you and I have been talking about this for gosh, six or eight months.
	Moving this bill forward, getting it to where it is now.
	Now pushing it over the finishing line, it's just extraordinarily important.
	And and I think uh you know, we have to recognize what a remarkable achievement it was.
	The House got the schedule you and I had said, get it through by Thanksgiving.
	The Senate's actually moving much faster than I thought they would.
	So I have some hope that they may uh actually meet the Christmas deadline and give the American people a pretty big uh Christmas present.
	There there are a lot of aspects of this that I look as a supply side Reagan conservative that I like a lot.
	I like the corporate cut, it's dramatic.
	Um from thirty-five to twenty percent.
	I like the repatriation.
	I I think that's something we should have done a long time ago, and that's hopefully will bring trillions of dollars back into the economy for factories and manufacturing centers.
	Uh I like the deregulation of the president, ending burdensome regulations on business.
	That's already been happening.
	That that is why we've had growth this year, in my opinion.
	Uh the energy component is huge, but on personal rates, it seems the Republicans just have given up any notion of across the board tax cuts because they don't want to fight the battle of, oh, these are tax cuts for the rich.
	Um, because most people that pay taxes are gonna see, especially if you live in New York and New Jersey and California and Illinois, you're paying more.
	It's just a fact.
	Well, it's a f well first of all, um, forgive me for sounding like I'm not in New York as one of those rich guys paying lots of taxes like Chuck Schumer.
	Uh yeah, who I think I think took fifty-eight thousand dollars in lower taxes from the federal government uh for his income last year in New York.
	Um New York, Connecticut, California, New Jersey, are very big government states.
	They're also very big government union states, and they're very expensive.
	And uh the rest of the country's been subsidizing them.
	We've basically been encouraging people to dump the cost of their state government on the rest of us.
	Now I know that's not popular with my friends in those delegations, but it's true.
	Well, I can tell listen, I live in New York.
	I'm gonna get hurt by this bill.
	But I I uh the principle though, I agree with that getting rid of the state deductions, but I do think Reagan went from and well, by the way, I think I do think it they put in a ten thousand dollar uh uh deduction for property taxes.
	So uh unless you are very, very successful, uh the combination of doubling the individual deduction and uh what they have done in terms of that property tax break, uh I think for about eighty percent or eighty-five percent of the country, uh, even in the high tax states, that's still gonna be a tax break.
	I'm in the second highest property tax county in the country, Nassau County, Long Island.
	Right.
	Yeah, I'm getting killed.
	But I'll tell you why I'm supporting it.
	I'm supporting it because I do believe this is gonna encourage dramatic economic growth.
	There's a forecast out today that that went to three point eight percent fourth quarter GDP growth.
	If we had four percent by the end of this year, we're and then this if the Senate can get this done, it'll be an opportunity.
	And I've always been very consistent.
	I I want the people that have been left behind in poverty and on food stamps and out of the labor force.
	I want them working.
	This this bill isn't about me.
	I just don't like that Republicans seemed afraid of the argument.
	I think it would be a much better plan.
	Larry Cudlow actually agreed with me if you'd cut the taxes across the board.
	Twenty percent of Americans pay ninety some odd percent of the taxes.
	Look, it isn't it would have been a much better bill in theory, but it wouldn't have passed.
	And and uh as you know from day one, one of my lessons from what happened with Obamacare was write a bill you can pass.
	When when we did the contract with America, you could have looked at three or four things we did not put in the contract.
	And the reason we did not put them in is we knew that the New York Times and CBS News and all the rest of them would have promptly focused only on those items, refused to report the rest of it, and attacked us over and over again.
	So we just said no, we're not gonna set up a target.
	The biggest thing in the long run for America in this bill is a twenty percent corporate tax rate.
	That is going to lead to an explosion of job creation in the United States.
	It's gonna make our companies competitive worldwide in a way that is gonna shock our foreign friends.
	Uh combined with the fact that there's a pass-through for small business that is gonna be a very big tax cut for small businesses, and that's the real job creation engine.
	And if we can get to four or five percent growth a year, create tons of new jobs, put people to work who've not been to work for a decade, uh, give people hope.
	And by the way, that economic growth helps the state of New York.
	It helped it helps Nassau County because the economy gets bigger.
	This isn't about me.
	No, I I listen more revenue.
	The corporate tax cuts, ending burdensome regulation, repatriation and energy is a formula for I believe massive economic growth, and that's why I'm supporting it.
	I just am saying I think it could be better.
	I believe in Reagan supply side cross the board cuts uh I think would even make it better.
	But look listen, I'm I want whatever we can get here and um I think you're right.
	I think remember you remember Chris and I had a movie uh called uh Ronald Reagan Rendezvous with Destiny and in there we have this great moment where Reagan says look if I can get eighty percent I'll take it and come back later.
	Exactly.
	Uh this is a huge this is a huge huge step in the right direction.
	Nope nobody listening to us should be confused.
	They should be calling their senators and saying get a tax bill out of the Senate.
	There's there's no excuse for not finding the votes to get a tax bill of the Senate by the way that includes the Democrats.
	There are six or eight Democrats in very Trump states are up for election.
	Every single one of them should be under pressure to vote for this bill.
	Agreed are you confident it gets it gets done before the end of the year?
	Confidence too strong a word.
	I'm hopeful it gets done I think it can get done I think there's some hard pieces to work out yet they have a very very narrow margin in the Senate uh they got to get to 50 that means they can lose one or two at the most which is part of why I think they ought to be really building a lot of pressure in states like West Virginia and uh Indiana and Missouri because they should really be pressuring those Democrats to vote yes.
	Let me ask you about we have all these situations unfolding as it relates to sexual harassment last week it was Al Franken you have allegations against Roy Moore.
	Um what how do we best handle these things as they come up?
	And yes and one other thing I I'm making the argument that the left in this country turned a blind eye to every single Clinton sexual scandal that there was only because of his politics and in that sense they created a lot of damage out there.
	They you know all those women were smeared and slandered and besmirched it all turns out to be true.
	What what is your take about where we are how we got here and how does this end and what how should it end?
	Well let me say first of all and this is going to probably make me a little bit unpopular I think you've got to put and these some of these are terrible circumstances some of them are just stupid circumstances um some of them are genuine exploitation some of them are genuine oppression uh and I think you've got to look at it and I think people you know people should not be harassed and people should not be intimidated.
	But let me also point out for all of our friends on the left who are now so worked up about this how about talking about what happens to young women in Somalia how about talking about what happens to young women in Pakistan how I'm talking about what happens all across the world in places that nobody on the left wants to deal with where it is horrendous and terrible and much worse than than what we have ever seen in the United States and and let's not just focus on incidents in the United States that involve somebody being harassed.
	Let's talk about people places where people are raped people are killed people are mutilated all of a sudden nobody on the left wants to talk about that.
	And I just think I think that it's you know look I think the role of women worldwide deserves an honest deep conversation and the United States is a piece of that there are lots of other places in the world we ought to be looking at.
	Agreed but I mean there's also what we have here in this country and that is that you know if you look at the Clintons and the abuse of women and all of the excuses that were made you know it really irritated me in the last election nobody cared that Hillary took all this money from countries that abuse women kill gays and lesbians and prosecu uh persecute Christians and Jews.
	That's a big deal.
	Well look not only that uh and they bought her silence.
	I think the and in some ways the most amazing moment of the 2016 campaign was was Trump bringing the women who had accused Clinton to the debate.
	I mean the level of guts that that took the the willingness to get in their face and say, no, I'm not just gonna let you beat me up.
	Let's go ahead.
	You want to talk about this?
	Let's talk about this.
	I thought that was as as staggeringly brilliant and frankly gutsy as anything I'd seen.
	And you'll notice, by the way, that there's now a whole new sort of revisionism underway that says, gee, maybe we were wrong.
	I mean, there are people on the left beginning to go, okay.
	You know, maybe in fact, um the the independent council was right.
	Now that that was an article in today's paper.
	I mean, yeah.
	There's a genuine discussion underway in the country.
	And and one of the things I'm I'm starting to work on a book for next year on on uh the whole notion of of uh understanding MAGA as sort of the second stage after understanding Trump.
	And one of the things I'm working on is this whole notion that you have had uh this this inability to come to grips with reality that is beginning to break down.
	And if you want to talk about the party of sex offenders, they're they're the Democrats.
	These are the people who are, you know, I mean, go go down the list of who they raise money for.
	Take the list of all the Hollywood people who've been out it and go find out from the F and C reports who they raise money for.
	I no, I think we're finding out more and more.
	All right, gotta take a break.
	We'll come back on the other side, more with former speaker of the house, New Kingrich, as we uh continue.
	All right, as we continue with New Kingrich, former Speaker of the House.
	Let me change topics a little bit.
	There is a uh Stratcom commander, and um he's the commander of the U.S. nuclear force.
	He ignited quite a bit of controversy when he said Saturday that he would not follow an illegal order from the president.
	Quote, if you execute an unlawful order, you can go to jail and you could go to jail for the rest of your life.
	And he was asked this.
	Well, but I'm a little concerned of that how he gets to decide what is legal and illegal.
	He said the way the process works is simple.
	Oh no.
	You don't want me to read his remarks?
	Go ahead.
	The way the process works.
	I apologize.
	Is it simple?
	I provide advice to the president, he'll tell me what to do, and if it's illegal, guess what's gonna happen?
	I'm gonna say to Mr. President, that's illegal.
	Guess what he's gonna get do at that point?
	He's gonna say what would be illegal, and then we'll come up with uh options of or what would be legal of a mix of capabilities to respond.
	I almost got the impression he's saying that he is the final arbiter in the use of nuclear weapons, and that is troublesome to me.
	Yeah, well, the that's not no, he he didn't follow through the f the full possibility.
	First of all, ever since the Nuremberg trials about the Nazis, we've had a clear rule and it's been in law, and we and we very we're very serious about it.
	And on the rare occasion of Vietnam when it was violated, we prosecuted people for violating it.
	And that is that in fact you cannot you cannot use following orders as an excuse for breaking the law.
	Uh you know, this goes all the way back to, for example, uh Cali who killed people who were innocent civilians.
	Uh so the fact that he says, no, notice what he said.
	If it is in the legal order, I won't execute her.
	Well, of course not.
	Uh it would be illegal to execute any illegal order.
	On the other hand, he forgot part two.
	He says to the president, you know, Mr. President, who is commander-in-chief member, uh, not just the Rotary Club president, says, Mr. President, this order is illegal.
	The president then has two options.
	Option one is to say, well, is the legal way to get this done.
	Option two is to say, I accept your resignation.
	Now, Fred, you're now the new commander of StratCom.
	Will you execute this order?
	That can be done in seconds.
	That is uh, I'm I'm listening to you.
	It just seemed unnecessary to say, um, because of course, if it's illegal, but I'm not sure it sounded to me like he that the president would be checking with him, or if he didn't like the order, even though he said if it's illegal.
	That's what it sounded a little like to me.
	It didn't sound like that at all to you.
	Well, look, uh look, I don't want to get inside this guy's head and try to try to uh psychoanalyze uh a four-star general who's trying to do his job.
	I I think technically what he said was right.
	Uh I think that he should have put in the second part of that, which is uh that it's not his prerogative in the end to decide if it's legal is the presidents.
	That's how the Constitution works.
	But if he refuses to execute it, the president can immediately replace him.
	I mean, immediately.
	All right, former Speaker of the House, New Kingrich, Mr. Speaker, we'll see you on TV tonight.
	A lot more news we got to get to.
	Thank you, sir for uh uh being with us.
	And uh 800 941 Sean is our number.
	Twenty five till the top of the hour, eight hundred nine four one Sean.
	Toll free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	You know what we got to do tomorrow on tomorrow's show, because then uh I'm off for the rest of the week for Thanksgiving, like most of you.
	Um Jonathan Gillam is in tomorrow, but you know what we need to do?
	Yeah, he's on Wednesday, tomorrow is Tuesday.
	I said what we need to do tomorrow.
	Oh, that's right.
	He's in Wednesday.
	I misspoke.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm I'm human.
	We need to do an hour of calls of how do you deal with your liberal Hillary loving relatives, your Trump-hating relatives, your your relatives that believe in fake news.
	How do you deal with them without throwing turkeys at each other?
	What's the best way to deal with that?
	That's gonna be I'm are you asking me this question?
	Well, I mean, do you have any liberals in your family?
	My brother.
	Which no, the one that's marrying the channel.
	Not the one marrying the other half of the show.
	All right, so let's say Trump comes up and he's a global environmentalist.
	It's terrible.
	Just throw a turkey stick at him.
	That's a terrible, but you know.
	I'm kidding.
	When you have to resort to talking about religion and personal finances that I heard on a show earlier, we're in trouble.
	Wow.
	Is it that bad?
	Ethan, you got any libs in your family?
	None in the immediate five.
	I won't see any, no.
	Uh Jason, and he lives in the fam?
	Um, my oldest brother is liberal, but he's he's not he's not an insane liberal.
	He actually probably knows more about politics than I do.
	Especially Jersey politics.
	Well, but you know more national politics.
	I mean, you're up to speed on everything.
	Yeah.
	I mean, but he's he's up there though.
	He he follows his stuff.
	Sunshine.
	Do you have any liberals in your family?
	Anyone?
	I know grandma's not, because I met her the day you got engaged.
	No, none, thankfully.
	Oh.
	All right, so we'll do like an hour.
	And if you want to call Lauren and try and get on the show, it's 800 941 show on Sean.
	We'll bring a good old Dr. Hannity back and we'll give advice in the final hour of the program tomorrow.
	How to deal.
	What if you got like a an occupied Antifa relative that you gotta now hang out with, say one full day or two days, and they know you like Trump.
	How are you gonna handle it?
	Best I'm gonna give you your best advice.
	I like to I like liberals to bubble and fizz like Alka Seltzer in water.
	I'm literally about to kill myself that I'm not kidding.
	I literally am gonna die.
	I need an ambulance.
	So you want family members to sound like that.
	No, no, I'm saying I well, that's not uh I want you to make it so they sound like that.
	Yeah.
	That'll be highly entertaining.
	That's not any better.
	Yeah, it's not and you gotta live with it.
	Um let me tell you, you know what the stressful, the most stressful part of the year for many people is going home and seeing their families over the holidays.
	And I know people, I know family fights have taken place.
	This is in the age of Trump and the age of this division that exists.
	I know you have family members that don't talk to each other anymore.
	Forget about Thanksgiving.
	That's not even happening this year.
	Christmas ain't happening in their families this year.
	I know people that friend long friendships have been broken over this.
	Um, and it's usually the left, they're the ones that are intolerant.
	They can't stand that you don't see it their way.
	And the the intolerance now in this country comes from the left.
	By the way, we haven't spent enough time on you know, so anyway, the president is in China, or as he says China.
	China.
	How does he say it?
	He says it China.
	Yeah, let's he says it with a weird way.
	Anyway, so these kids got caught allegedly stealing, shoplifting, whatever they were doing.
	It's a big deal in China.
	So the president intervenes and he gets these three UCLA basketball players out of the country, home safe.
	And I know the whole story.
	What he did is he turned to the the Chinese president and said, I need a favor.
	Can you please let these guys out?
	And the president of China said, I'll make it uh if that's what you like, I will make it happen.
	And he made it happen.
	Anyway, so it happened.
	Anyway, the one of the fathers of um I guess his name is uh LeVar Ball, twice on Twitter calling him an ingrate because he said, Well, the president didn't have much to do with it.
	And the president tweeted, do you think the three UCLA basketball players will say thank you?
	That was before they did say thank you, which is to their credit, you should say thank you.
	Anyway, shoplifting is a big deal in China.
	You have five to ten years potential in jail in China, but apparently the father in this particular case of LeVar Ball, you know, literally said, well he didn't play a big role in this.
	It's just not true.
	And then the president tweeted out and it got a lot of people mad.
	Should have gotten his son uh out uh of my next trip to China instead and China told them that they were released.
	He said he was very grateful now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years of jail, Lavar Ball, the father of LeAngelo ball is unaccepting of what I did for his son and s that shoplifting is no big deal.
	I should have left him in jail, the president said.
	I mean it is wrong to be ungrateful.
	I remember years ago when I was growing up some of you younger people never hear this you get busted over there.
	You're in for the hassle of your life meaning outside of the U.S. And that's true.
	And there was a big Midnight Express I think was the this American that got held where was that in I don't remember what country but he was held for years.
	They have a whole show dedicated to that's called Locked Up Abroad.
	Oh yeah I've seen it I've seen that show.
	All right let's go to uh Vanessa's in New Mexico.
	Why don't you just say thank you, Mr. President, for all that you did to help my son.
	Thank you very much.
	What's so hard about that?
	Anyway what's going on Vanessa.
	Yeah I just wanted to agree with you a hundred percent.
	When I read that I was just so disgusted as a mom of three sons you know to not be thankful that first of all whether wherever it is you get caught doing that.
	You need to be held accountable.
	That's what's prob one part of the problem in this country is we don't help hold people accountable enough but then to come out as a father I mean it just shows his lack of integrity, his lack of maturity, his lack of appreciation to know that his son why doesn't he go and talk to uh uh Otto Wambir's parents and and see what what he has to be thankful for.
	So I disagree with you a hundred percent.
	Well I could tell you right now if it was my son and he was involved in that incident and a president got him out I don't care who the president is I would make sure that I was let that president know I'm extraordinarily grateful for what he did.
	Then when my son got home I'd be kicking his ass big time.
	He'd be in trouble.
	I agree.
	I mean I know these kids I mean look kids aren't perfect they're all going to make mistakes but that is it's just stupid.
	You know I can take a mistake I can't take a really stupid mistake.
	Um anyway back to our phones as we say hi to MJ is in Fort Lauderdale.
	MJ, how are you?
	Hey Sean Sempify how you doing my friend hey Semprify what's going on Maureen?
	Oh listen I'm just this this father with these uh basketball players i i is just killing me I'm just exactly what you said if my uh my hubby's a cop so if that ever happened to you know locally or whatever I mean I'd absolutely kick the crap out of my kid but I wonder if the six circumstances would be different if maybe the guy got caught or he's hanging out in North Korea maybe the father would be singing a different tune.
	I I'm just telling you I would be grateful and the idea that oh he didn't do much I don't know I mean you your son got out of a a very potentially dangerous situation.
	Maybe maybe he would son will be home having Thanksgiving with his family because of Trump.
	What part does he not understand that?
	And the president did the right thing and the president call the president asked for a favor and he got these young men home where they belong and they did something stupid but it's not worth five years in jail.
	It's like a death penalty for them.
	Of course things are different.
	Right and it's had it been under President you know Obama I'm sure you know people if Obama would have gotten them out I would praise Obama for it.
	I mean you know this is not political and it shouldn't be political thanks MJ good to hear your voice.
	Have a great Thanksgiving Pam is in Hampton, Virginia Hey Pam, how are you?
	What's going on?
	I am all right how are you sir and happy Thanksgiving blessed Thanksgiving.
	Uh I just want to know what it's gonna take for the Republicans on the Hill to get together for once and back a tax bill of some kind that helps people that elected them.
	I am so tired of the wishy washy Nambi Pamby we can't we can't we can't we can't the last four letters of Republican is I can when are they going to start they need to back well you gotta set you gotta separate the two out here.
	You got two houses.
	Yes yeah All right.
	So the House has done infinitely better than the Senate.
	Absolutely.
	They've got three hundred plus bills, good bills.
	Kate Steinley's Law and Sanctuary Cities.
	They did pass a health care bill.
	It wasn't perfect, but we didn't expect all right, but it but they got it done.
	They they got done now the economic plan and the and the tax cuts, which I think are necessary if we're really gonna move this economy forward.
	And now it's really in the hands of, you know, sadly, Mitch McConnell.
	And I don't have a lot of faith in Mitch McConnell.
	I think Mitch McConnell and and then you've got all these never Trumpers.
	I'm convinced some of these Republicans would rather uh they're they would rather at least in their minds think they're hurting the president than do what's right for the country and what they once once themselves advocated.
	I think their their hatred runs for some of them that deep.
	It does, and it amazes me.
	Like Ben Sass the ass and you know Snowflake, Jeff Flake, and John McCain and you got a whole bunch of them out there.
	There's there's a there's enough of those people out there.
	And the sad part is they're not hurting him.
	They're hurting us.
	They're hurting America.
	And that's that that's the heart of everything.
	It's if you hurt Americans, the heart of Americans, why do you deserve your job next term?
	You don't, but you know, uh what they're gonna do is if they fail, it'll be a spectacular fail, and even the people that did get their job done will also be blamed.
	So that this is huge.
	This is their opportunity.
	It would be nice to see them tackle health care again in the next con uh you know, when they get back after January, but they gotta get this done.
	It needs to get done this year, so it'll have an impact on twenty eighteen.
	Um I don't know where Ron Johnson is.
	I didn't understand that, but we'll find out.
	I mean, but we need this is the time now to call your senators and say, do your job, keep your word.
	Um it's not the bill that I would most like.
	I think Republicans are so afraid of the class warfare rhetoric that they've abandoned conservative Reagan supply side economics in terms of marginal tax cuts across the board.
	But there's so many good things in this bill.
	If I was there, I would have voted for it.
	A hundred percent.
	I wouldn't have even been an issue for me.
	Uh even though I'd be voting to increase my own taxes because I live in a state like New York, but that's because where my job is, and that's the only reason I live in New York.
	Um do your job.
	All right, appreciate it.
	Renee is in Ohio.
	What's up, uh Renee?
	How are you?
	Glad you called.
	Um, yeah, hi, Sean.
	How are you today?
	I'm good.
	What's happening?
	Well, I was just kind of, you know, kind of thinking about the other night you had Herodo on the show, and um he was saying how some documentation on the whole um Roy Moore thing, you know.
	Some of these women just wrote in their diary or something like that, you know, and then poof, out, you know, like literally the next day came out the yearbook, the signed yearbook.
	And I'm just thinking, okay, this is awfully fishy with the whole timing and everything.
	Right.
	I just think it's pretty crazy.
	Um by the way, there's a poll out today that had Roy Moore, saw it on Gateway Pundit.
	I haven't really read the details of it yet that shows him up by ten.
	Well yeah.
	I mean, I'm not saying they don't believe the women, or I'm not saying that I don't believe him either.
	I think the the people of Albania's side and you know, leave it up to them.
	Yeah, I g listen from my perspective at this point, uh you know, one thing that has shocked me in all of this, I just assumed after I told Moore he's gotta start answering questions.
	The people of Alabama deserve it.
	That was the right thing to do.
	And then he he he started to answer.
	Now they they literally put this in a position where at least in in one big case, they can find out forensically if in fact that was his handwriting in terms of you have i if you're if he they're able to compare pr writing professionals, his writing at the time with what's in that yearbook, and they can determine when how old the ink is in that yearbook, then you could absolutely positively identify in fact that it had been tampered with or w or anything.
	So like the you know, CBS National Guard documents that got Dan Rather fired.
	So I don't what I've been waiting for is for that.
	Why is Gloria Allred hesitating in any way on these things?
	That makes zero sense to me.
	Unless somewhere deep in the back of the mind, uh Her mind, I don't know.
	She hasn't given an explanation that I have found reasonable.
	Um, but I would say it would be in the best interest of Gloria Alred and the peop for the people of Alabama so that they can know the truth.
	These charges are too serious to turn into politics.
	Let's know the truth before the people of Alabama vote.
	All right, as we get back to our phones, and we say hi to Jonathan in Gulfport, Mississippi.
	What's up, Jonathan?
	How are you?
	I'm very well, sir.
	Thank you for your tireless fight for the cause of liberty and freedom in America.
	Sure do appreciate it.
	What's going on?
	I uh well, I was calling because I have a question, Sean.
	As a young uh conservative Republican, do you believe I am currently watching the greatest debacle in political history in American politics with a GOP not being able to go to work and get the job that they promised us when we went out and voted for them to get done.
	Well, look, I mean, it's beyond disappointing.
	There's no urgency.
	I'm not been shy in saying they're spineless, they're lacking vision, they're a shadow of their former selves.
	Uh I do believe that this economic plan, but for the fact that they've abandoned Reagan's supply side across the board tax cuts and um and and accept redistribution because they don't want to be accused of tax cuts for the rich.
	Um the other measures, the corporate side of this is a great deal.
	Corporate the corporate tax is gonna spur economic growth.
	Repatriation is going to spur economic growth.
	The energy energy policies of the president and the Congress in fairness is gonna spur economic growth.
	Reducing burdensome regulation will spur economic growth.
	I just think it would be that much more magnificent and powerful if they would reduce the top rates also, which I think they're fearful of doing because of their they don't want the fight of being called tax cutters for the rich.
	Same why they didn't get Obamacare repeal to replace.
	We'll continue straight ahead.
	One is the former head of the Kazakh Atomic Energy Agency.
	He said that you as senator canceled meetings with Cossack officials and would not meet with them until uranium assets were transferred to Frank Justra.
	He's the Canadian businessman.
	And then two months after those assets were transferred, the businessman donated thirty million dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
	What do you say to people who say that that just seems unseemly?
	I don't know what he's talking about, so I can't respond to it.
	Let's talk about uranium one and all of the wild accusations.
	Let's remember that it started out as a seed ban in Breitbart project uh that was uh designed to hurl false allegations uh against me.
	Uh it uh got into the mainstream press because the New York Times made a deal with Breitbart, and that doesn't get enough attention.
	The Times uh, you know, really got in bed with Reichfart and uh the far right, uh, and they should hold themselves accountable for getting the story so wrong.
	What we have here is exactly what it looks like.
	It's a political stunt by the Trump administration and its allies to distract from the very serious uh information coming out about the Trump campaign's connections with Russia.
	Uh they don't want uh the press and the public paying attention to what we're learning about their involvement with Russia.
	Was there anything, Secretary Clinton, to to this allegation specifically?
	Was there anything to can you understand why people I don't know, Rita, I don't know what you're talking about.
	I've never heard that.
	I don't know anything about that, and it's part of the whole uranium one uh, you know, confusion.
	And so no, I don't know anything about it.
	I do know that this has been this whole thing has been investigated repeatedly and it's been debunked repeatedly.
	Can I ask you just on the surface?
	Because one of the things that people point to is that in their Uranium One story, it troubles them that the Clinton Foundation failed to disclose it was about over two million dollars in donations from the chairman of Uranium One as the deal was being reviewed considered.
	Do you agree that that just looks bad?
	Rita, that's not true.
	The gentleman in question had sold his interest in uranium one some years before.
	It's just not true, Rita.
	Now I know that you know the right does a great job of throwing up these crazy allegations, but just look at the facts.
	Go back and look at Shepard Smith's takedowns.
	None of this is true.
	Now that doesn't mean they won't investigate it because they're trying to divert attention from their connections with Russia.
	But I can assure you it's been investigated, it's been looked at by the press, by experts.
	Everybody has come to the same conclusion.
	There is no factual basis.
	I had nothing to do with the decision.
	Now that is a fact.
	I had nothing to do with it.
	It was delegated to somebody else in the State Department, and nine people had to agree, and they all agreed from all the different agencies in our government.
	And then two Republican governors had to agree.
	You know, John Huntsman in Utah and Rick Perry and Texas.
	This is just a smoke screen.
	So, you know, there's no facts to it, but you know, I can't stop uh, you know, the Justice Department and the White House from trying to uh throw sand in the eyes of people.
	Oh, the vast right wing conspiracy on steroids.
	That was Rita Cosby interviewing uh Hillary Clinton.
	Oh, this is a ban in Breitbar conspiracy, a right-wing conspiracy, and they got in bed with the New York Times.
	Shame on the New York Times.
	It was a stunt.
	And uh it's been debunked many, many, many times, and it's meant to distract and you know, all of this is not true.
	There's nothing true here.
	Well, we're gonna find out.
	We're gonna find out in fairly short order because we now have what would be called a treasure trove of documents tying Russia to uranium one, uh, which will validate as we now have the the NDA lifted off this FBI informant just to take you back.
	In two thousand and nine, what did we discover inside of America?
	We discovered that there were agents working on behalf of Vladimir Putin and the hostile regime of Russia for the very purpose of getting a foothold into the uranium market in America.
	We have to import uranium.
	Why anyone would ever sign off, why any department would ever sign off?
	By the way, it's not my responsibility, my department signed off.
	And anyway, they discovered that as part of this network, money was being handed back and forth and briberies and kickbacks and extortion and money laundering and racketeering.
	And this is all before Uranium One and Cyphyas ever signed off on this deal.
	And that was a year and a half before.
	We have a four-plus year FBI informant that was regularly getting back to the FBI and the Department of Justice, and that is where we now find ourselves.
	What is in this treasure trove of documents that in fact will tie Russia to Uranium One?
	Who knew what when and where?
	And uh is Hillary telling the truth here to help us get to the truth.
	Victoria Tunsing, she is the attorney for this FBI informant, Sarah Carter, investigative reporter and journalist who's been in the forefront of breaking all of these stories.
	She is uh put our piece exclusively on Hannity.com, and you can read it yourself.
	Uh, let's start with you, Sarah, and let's talk about this treasure trove of documents that Victoria's client is gonna be providing, I assume, first Congress and the American people.
	Well, yes, Sean, I think this is really fascinating.
	I mean, you know that for in recent reports coming out in Reuters and Yahoo, there were people, unnamed sources within the Justice Department that tried to go after uh the informant, the confidential informant who's now been his name has now been disclosed as uh William Campbell.
	And uh in instead, what they're going to see is that over five thousand, over five thousand documents will reveal within those documents that Rosatom, which was Russia's nuclear energy arm, and its subsidiaries were vastly interested in penetrating the U.S. energy market, and they were trying to gain approval through the United States government.
	That's been all documented.
	He you know, and through his attorney, Victoria will have those documents to provide to Congress, and we can show you some of those.
	I mean, some of them deal directly with uranium one, and they talk exclusively about uranium one.
	So any any talk coming from the Justice Department that one did not have to do with the other, is it disingenuous at best?
	If not, according to some people that I've spoken with in law enforcement, just flat out lies.
	Okay, so let's go through what you're describing here in this treasure trove and what we expect we're gonna find and discover in this treasure trove of information.
	If for example, the so Victoria's client infiltrated this network for over four years working on behalf of the FBI as an informant, correct?
	Correct.
	How many documents will he be handing over to the government?
	Over five thousand documents.
	Okay, and that's over five thousand documents, including daily briefs, including emails.
	Remember, he was documenting everything for his FBI handlers, every conversation, every dinner he attended, everything he spoke of, and everyone he spoke with.
	So this was all very detailed documented, dated, and given to the FBI.
	And the FBI Well, those documents confirm that in the early days that there was knowledge that Putin was trying to get a foothold in the uranium market inside of America and was using and committing crimes to get that foothold, bribery, extortion, kickbacks, money laundering.
	Is that going to be proven?
	Yes, I believe that'll be proven.
	And you can see within the documents there were instances where they specifically requested certain people to be hired as consultants.
	How are we going to make this happen?
	How are we going to push through uranium one?
	How can we deal with uh congressional uh representatives who are opposed to this?
	And then they they would even further we have emails that are directly that we've been able to obtain.
	I know I've I've received those emails and they've been validated by law enforcement that show people connected, directly connected to Mikarin and all these other players and these Russian subsidiaries that were connected to the Russia's to Russia's nuclear arm, talking about uranium one and how important it was.
	Because remember, these subsidiaries were 100% owned by the Russian government.
	They were Rosatoms subsidiaries.
	And everybody involved in these subsidiaries was a player in this Russian scheme for global domination of the United States.
	Is there going to be any smoking gun proof of a quid pro quo or that people like Hill Hillary is basically denying any knowledge or responsibility in this, even though it was her department that signed off on it, and she who benefited from it?
	It's so interesting that Hillary is just in flat out denial of everything to the point where usually she is an advocate of the New York Times, and now we see her going directly after the New York Times and and lumping them into Breitbart uh on this case in particular, and she has no concept of what you know Kazakhstan leaders are saying with regard to the uranium sales and the uranium mining and even in Kazakhstan.
	So I think that there is smoking guns in here.
	It will be very evident of what Russia was attempting to do and what Russia did in order to obtain uranium one, but I'm gonna leave a lot of that up to Victoria to discuss because she represents the client.
	Well, I knew she wouldn't give me this information.
	That's why I went to you first.
	Uh just it from Sarah.
	Uh where are we in the process, Victoria, with your client and the information Sarah is describing here?
	I worked with him last week, Sean.
	Yeah.
	And uh I am now in the process of preparing a statement for him that he can provide to uh Congress so that they can have an idea of the overview of the information that he had.
	Okay, and he is gonna share every document he's now free to share everything with Congress?
	Well, he's free to share uh things that are uh regarding this case, uh, but he's not free yet to share everything about his background with the U.S. government.
	And that's put it that way.
	Well, I mean, it would have to be he but he was an FBI informant, which has been widely reported at this point, no?
	Well, and and there are there are other things, and I have a request in to Hipsy to get me permission to be able to divulge uh a greater relationship.
	And are you confident now have you had a chance to peruse through the materials that Sarah's talking about?
	Of course, sure.
	I'm using them as the basis for preparing uh uh statement for the Congress.
	You know, one of the things that we really have to figure out here is if we have to import uranium because we don't have enough, and we know Putin has agents within the United States committing crimes for the very purpose of getting a hold of our uranium, and we did nothing to stop it.
	That seems like uh a breach of national security on a monumental level, isn't it?
	Well, I think that was a one of the major questions.
	Oh, go ahead, Victoria.
	No, I mean it i if if the decision was made to sell twenty percent of our uranium or a company with access to that uh to uh Germany or Switzerland, you would still scratch your head.
	So Russia, for goodness sake, and and uh you know, this stuff about Hillary saying it was all been debunked.
	Yes, when, who, what?
	I have no there is no debunking of the relationship uh between the Clintons and the Russians.
	In fact, uh my my client will show that the Russians were very interested in pursuing the Clintons for the purpose of gaining favor.
	Yeah, Victoria Tunsing, she is the attorney for this FBI informant as we continue our analysis and breakdown of uranium one, Sarah Carter's blockbuster.
	It's an exclusive.
	We put it up on Hannity.com, treasure trove of documents now that tie Russia to Uranium One validates the FBI informant.
	I've been telling you it's all gonna come cascading down.
	Hannity.com, Sarah Carter's investigator.
	We continue with Sarah Carter, investigative reporter and her new uh investigative pieces up on Hannity.com, treasure trove of documents tying Russia to Uranium One validates the FBI informant.
	Now we're gonna be slowly getting to see with our own eyes what he's been able to accumulate after four years.
	And the attorney for this FBI informant, William Campbell, is Victoria Tunsing, uh his attorney, and uh we have evidence that will emerge, Sarah, that will put the Clinton's uh level of knowledge far higher than what Hillary's claiming now, and and that the monies that were sent back vis-a-vis those people involved in this deal to the Clinton Foundation and Bill's increase in speaking fees, is that all gonna come to light?
	I bel yes, I believe so, Sean.
	That will come to light, and this is the reason why there needs to be a very intensive investigation, because a lot of this is gonna be following the money, tracing the money from the Russians, from others, through the different cutouts, through different entities that I believe that the informant, Mr. Campbell, will be able to provide that direction so that they can do this.
	And another thing that's really important, you brought it up as well as Victoria's like, let's go to the client.
	You know, by the time uranium one was approved, was approved, the client himself, Mr. Campbell, had gone to his FBI handlers and said, I don't understand how can this be.
	You know, the president was the one person, President Obama.
	Let's just move Hillary Clinton over to the side right now.
	If he was advised in presidential daily briefing, which I believe he was, based on the information that I have, it was up to the president and only the president to end that agreement, to know what was going on and to say this is a national security issue, and we can no longer fulfill this agreement.
	We need to end it.
	And when he had gone to his FBI handlers and said, Look, what what's going on here?
	They said to him, ask your politics, ask your politics.
	It was it was a very detrimental moment, you know.
	Um, and I think Victoria can talk a little bit more to that.
	Well, we will we will this evolve into people selling out America's national security for self-enrichment?
	I think it's Clinton did it for self-enrichment.
	Um it it were still trying to get a feel for what all was going on, but recall, Sean, this was during the reset day.
	This was when uh Barack Obama thought he could charm anybody uh into coming over, you know, and and and loving him and doing whatever he wanted.
	So reset Russia, why would they then uh go in and and stop Russia from getting 20% of our uranium?
	This was this was like giving oh billions of dollars to Iran, but of course we never did that either, right?
	Go back in time of what was going on in the Barack.
	Victoria, if I'm a Russian, you know what I'm thinking?
	America is a very stupid country.
	And America and I would be mocking and laughing.
	They would what?
	They were they were mocking the Russians when they were with my client would mock Obama and uh about how easy it was to be.
	And would that show up in Obama's dead presidential daily briefing that they made fun of him for being weak and stupid?
	I don't know if you'd actually noticed that in the briefing.
	I don't think they included that one.
	You're you're saying the Russians were openly mocking the United States and Obama over their stupidity on this deal.
	All right, we're gonna have more tonight on Hannity, and this is now the walls are beginning to cave in on Uranium One and on the Russian dossier.
	And as I've been predicting, it's now coming tumbling down.
	These documents are going to blow you away.
	25 till the top of the hour.
	Let's get some calls in here.
	Sarah Carter, investigative journalist.
	We put up, if you want to read this piece, uranium one is now gonna cascade.
	All of the truth is gonna come out.
	Everything that we knew about Putin's efforts to get into the uranium market in America is now going to be exposed.
	How stupid people were in the Obama administration, including himself, because he had presidential daily briefings telling him about all of this and how they did nothing.
	Anyway, uh, let's get to our phones.
	As we say, all right, Velma's standing by in Vegas, 720, K Dawn Radio.
	Velma, how are you?
	Hey, I'm okay.

	All right, back to our phones.
	Uh Ginger is in Grand Rapids Wood Radio.
	What's up, Ginger?
	How are you?
	Well, good morning, Sean.
	Good afternoon.
	Yeah, what's going on?
	Well, you know what?
	Supporter and volunteer.
	Yeah.
	So let me tell you, Trump is doing it.
	Trump is it's really I don't like campaigning Trump.
	I like President Trump.
	He actually is thinking about the people.
	You have to represent all the people.
	I agree.
	I mean, I the this is a guy that is if you look at his checklist.
	I mean, maybe we're due to go over it again, but I can tell you that it's absolutely a fact that he's trying to keep every campaign promise he made, and that's refreshing.
	I wish Republicans were a little bit stronger, especially in the Senate there, just weak.
	I mean, cruises one cruises like the the rock star in there, one of the few getting things done and fighting, and and guys like him and Rand Paul and a few others, not a whole bunch of them.
	But they forget what their job is, and that's what it is.
	They they want keep their job.
	Term limits for all those in Congress and Senate.
	I am telling you that you cannot live off of people's money forever.
	Um people I mean, the uh if you are hitting the 70s and 80s.
	It's time to go.
	You cannot relate to the common man.
	So you know, that's why listen, that's why if you court uh cut the corporate tax, the president's gotten rid of a lot of the Obama era regulations, repatriation, all of his energy pro uh uh policies.
	Those are all job creators.
	That's why, you know, the Wall Street Journal today, they're looking at three point eight percent GDP growth.
	You know, Obama never had three percent his entire presidency.
	But the the shivity you know, Obama wanted to give people stuff.
	Well, dictators give people stuff.
	Trump wants to open the opportunity so you can go get the opportunity yourself.
	Well, I agree.
	Ginger, God bless you.
	I love Grand Rapids, too.
	A lot of nice people in Grand Rapids.
	Back to our busy phones.
	Let's say, hi, the chat is in Dallas, Texas.
	Boy, your cowboys didn't look too good last night.
	Uh they did not.
	They put me to sleep.
	Good grief.
	It was awful.
	It was awful.
	I agree.
	My son's a big cowboy fan.
	He's like the biggest cowboy fan.
	He was uh your your buddy uh Stephen A. Smith, who I don't appreciate a whole lot.
	I'm sure he's get he's having a hell of a day with this stuff.
	I ain't even watched him, but I just know he has.
	Oh, he doesn't like the cowboys.
	Oh, he oh, he th you know, Sean, he thinks that the Cowboys fans are the worst than the NFL.
	Why are they so delusional?
	But so the worst fans in the NF the world.
	Well, they're not the Dallas Cowboy fans.
	I love the Dallas Cowboys.
	And I mean, I asked my son, how did you become a Cowboys fan?
	And this is years ago, and he's like they're America's team, Dad.
	That's what he said to me.
	Exactly.
	But he he thinks that the Cowboys fans are the worst and the most delusional fans when their their team is the most uh valued sports franchise in the entire world.
	But uh the my talking point actually is on professional sports, and sure before you go any further, Sean, it's always so good, you know, to speak with you.
	Um I think best in the business, really.
	Um, thanks.
	Well, Marshawn Lynch, you know, he did what he did yesterday, and it's such uh it's a big thank you to, and I didn't approve of it when I'm saying thank you to the guy who started it all.
	Um first of all, um First of all, go ahead.
	Yeah.
	First of all, Linda, um, so I would just so I'd shake my head in disbelief on GQ.
	Obviously, they made their statement of what and what they approve of.
	What they named him not only nominate, but name him citizen of the year.
	It makes you want to think, okay, how come they didn't ever nominate Tim Tebow when he when he was doing something totally different, taking a knee for prayer before or after a game or after a touchdown.
	And why do they name him?
	You know what, though it is the biggest backlash.
	I don't know.
	Look at all the stadiums over the weekend.
	Now they're trying not to show Kneelers on TV.
	They're trying not, and we saw Marshall uh Lynch, what he stood for the Mexican anthem, but not the United States.
	I mean, it's really despicable.
	But I'm gonna tell you who's getting hurt here.
	Yeah, yeah, the owners are gonna get hurt.
	Yeah, fans, they don't they don't enjoy the game like they used to.
	But the people that are gonna get hurt the most are those that have benefited from the opportunity of playing the sport they love at the highest level and being loved and adored by fans everywhere.
	And they're gonna get hurt, and there's gonna be fewer opportunities at lower rates of pay, and they're hurting themselves because they're out of touch with their audience.
	Their audience too many people have fought bled and died under that flag.
	And you know, there's a really cool song out there, Take a Knee My Ass by Neil McCoy, and it's it's gone viral.
	Well, I'm gonna play some of it on TV tonight.
	And the reason is is because that's how we feel.
	I'm not gonna take a knee when everyone is sacrificed for me, period.
	It's such a shame.
	And uh, you know, I don't go to the NFL for any type of political outreach or whatever, but I go to the NFL to watch it.
	But like you, well, you're you're coming around the corner to be more of a college uh uh uh football guy.
	Now I've always preferred college football first.
	It's college football, high school football, and then uh pro.
	Um, but it it I don't I viewed the NFL less more than I ever have before.
	And speaking of college football, and you know, you take your sons to the Super Bowl.
	If you guys go to the national championship game this year, I think you guys will have a whole lot more fun.
	Look, I'm telling you, I'm my football day is now Saturday, and I'm enjoying college football.
	And uh I like it a lot, and I think that most Americans, college football is doing great, and NFL games now you see empty seats that you never saw before.
	So, you know, great job.
	Uh uh, you can't you cannot bet against Alabama ever with Nick Saban.
	You just can't.
	He's just too good.
	And his ability to spot talent, train these players to to maximize their God given gifts.
	I don't know.
	I don't know how you beat Alabama.
	I just don't.
	I mean, he is the greatest college coach in football in history.
	And there's been many great ones.
	You know, not the least, that Bear Bryant among them.
	Uh anyway, I appreciate it, Chad.
	800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
