You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show podcast.
Let not your heart be troubled.
You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.
All right, glad you're with us.
So many things happening today, and uh we're glad you're on board.
You know, nobody you're never gonna ever hear that U.S. crude oil production in America has now hit an all-time high.
Now, listen, I'm gonna tell you something.
That is a massive, massive, massive story.
Because that means literally millions of high-paying jobs for forgotten men and women in America.
I know we talk a lot about Russia, Trump, Trump, Russia, Russia, Trump, Trump, Russia.
I know that if you watch cable news, if the president, if Hope's resigns, it's one big massive conspiracy that, oh, she had to resign because of A, B, C, D, E, and F, and nobody knows about it.
And I'm actually somebody that has reached out and talked to Hopex, and I'm not gonna tell you because it was a private conversation.
All I'll tell you is media speculation is as usual wrong.
Now, the next point is is that we spend so much time because there's so much corruption in the in the sewer and the swamp that is Washington, D.C., that we often forget about how great things have gotten and how good things can be, and what this country can be, and what we can provide for future generations.
We have the ability to do great, amazing, profound, deep things for the entire country, and every person that's suffering, and every person in poverty, and every person on food stamps, and every person that's been left behind.
And every person can listen, like so many of you out there, I don't know in my life many people that came from money.
Matter of fact, I got the best team here, and I don't know anyone in that works here on this team that came from a lot of money.
Now, maybe we grew up in a in all typical, we all have pretty much the same story.
A nice small house, 50 by 100 lot, you know, good neighbors, you know, a little more at the time it's it's not like it is today where you can't let your kids out of sight for five seconds.
It's a lot different.
You know, so anyway, um, I literally read this today, and I said, nobody's ever gonna mention this today.
Nobody will.
But I want to mention, you know, and we gotta start spending time on the good news of the day.
And we got to start spending time on why is this important?
You know, November's figure exceeded 10 million barrels produced daily.
You know, that was in November of 1970.
Here's how big this story is.
U.S. crude oil production shattered a 47-year output record this past November, according to the U.S. Energy Department, as oil production from shale now continues to upend global supply patterns.
Well, why do you think that the Middle East, why do you think the Saudis and the Cart and OPEC and others, why do you think they reduced oil going back a couple of years ago?
It was all because of shale production in the United States and a desire to run the United States out of the uh out of this business.
That's what they're that's what their whole thing was.
You know, the new record probably is not gonna last.
The U.S. government is forecasting we're gonna hit 11 billion million barrels per day later this year.
The president opened Anwar, Dakota pipeline, you know, the what's the other pipeline?
Yeah, you know, he opened them all up.
Keystone pipeline, yeah, thank you.
You know, if we would actually, now we're opening he single-handedly saved West Virginia and the coal industry.
And, you know, amazing things are gonna happen out of this.
Amazing jobs are gonna be created, and it's smart, by the way, from a national security standpoint.
Think about it.
The U.S. doesn't have to worry anymore about what they're gonna do in the Middle East, at least for the time being, unless America's stupid enough to retreat because they're buying the media narrative on Donald Trump and all they want to do is is attack Donald Trump and and we still have so many deep staters in there it's ridiculous.
All right, by the way, other news, we're going to get into this in more detail later in the program today.
The American people get it in terms of how the government failed and they blame the government failures and Broward County Sheriff and the FBI on this shooting down in Florida and how every sign was missed.
Only 33% of Americans are blaming guns.
So the American people seem to get this it's interesting that you know all these groups that went out and started attacking the NRA, well, they're now hearing from NRA members that are saying in in a pretty loud voice, okay, you're not r understanding who we are who are the people that I've known in the NRA in my life every single person that I know every single one.
By the way Trump is speaking at a summit on the opioid crisis.
By the way Kellyanne gave me an update on that last night.
I I've been watching this show on Netflix.
I digress here for a second and I was watching this show uh and it goes from Cleveland to Atlanta to Mexico and the production of heroin this is this is why opioid use is so scary because you know we now are producing there was one particular county in Ohio where they're like producing per capita 642 oxycontin pills per person an insane amount per year.
Now here's the problem if you're taking Vicodin per caset oxycontin I've never taken one of those pain pills in my life I will say I fear little in life they scare me.
They scare me because of what I've witnessed in my life.
You know you take one pill for legitimate reasons you got a bad back you had an operation anyway and the next thing you know smart hardworking intelligent people they're hooked like that it happens it's scary it happens and we're handing these things out like they're candy and if anyone is ever in a hospital you know what it's like all you have to do is say the word oh my back oh it hurts and they want to give it to you with no questions.
As a matter of fact by law they feel they have to as a means of managing pain.
Then they got the pain management centers out there which is just addiction centers in a lot of different ways a lot of them are and I know some people need it I know it's a way to wean people off I know it has good benefits but I'm being practical honest and and real about all of this.
And then the next thing you do is you get addicted.
You start with the pills that you got.
Then the doctor finally says, all right, listen, you're probably getting addicted.
I got to cut you off.
And then you go on the street and you start paying 80 bucks a pill.
And then somebody will say to you, because you're desperate and you need it, you know, well, why don't you try this $10 bag of heroin?
Now, the high is bigger.
Now you have a huge, bigger problem, greater addiction.
and you have no idea what you just put into...
your system whether you're snorting it and then eventually shooting it.
It's only you wonder how this can happen.
It's happening and it's scary and it's happening in small towns and it's happening in big cities and these drug cartels are actually targeting middle class America and upper middle class America and they're doing it successfully there's no socioeconomic boundaries here.
You got people with no money in the middle people with a lot of money.
They're all doing this crap and it and it all ends up the same way in either a rehab center, a morgue very few people when they get addicted that the the rate of success at these rehab centers is astronomically low and usually it takes people two, three, four, five and six times and they're sincere and wanting to get better.
But the pull and the drive and I don't understand it but I've had it explained to me is so great they can't stop themselves.
Now at the end of the day we all have the ability to say no to anything.
We all have that ability in other words if not then we're we're conceding a fact that I'm not willing to concede And that would be that human beings have no control over their decision making.
I'm not buying that.
If one heroin addict of 15 years can quit, that says everybody has a shot at quitting.
And I don't know what there's no secret sauce.
It works differently for everybody else.
You ever watch the show on AE called Intervention?
I watched that show.
It breaks my heart.
One addicted person literally destroys an entire family every time.
Now you're going to say, well, you got to have tough love.
And if your kid comes home and they're high or they've been using drugs and they're asking you for money for food, what are you going to say?
Now the right answer is you say no.
The right answer is he says, get your ass out of my house.
Don't come back till you're clean.
And if you want to come back, the only these are the conditions.
You get drug tested, you get a job, you finish rehab, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And people try it, but they never I don't think that their misintention I don't think that their intentions are bad.
But then the kid comes on, you know, three in the morning and they want a place to sleep.
It's either that or the cold weather where you're worried to death they might die.
Or you know if they're in your house, at least they're not shooting up that night.
At least they're safe for that one night.
And that gives you peace of mind.
It's horrible.
Absolutely horrific.
I didn't plan on talking about this, but it literally went on, you know, the president saying we have drug dealers who deal to hundreds of people.
They don't go to jail.
He's right.
We don't put drug dealers in jail.
You know, I I don't think the answer is put any addicts in jail, but there's got to be some penalty for them.
Actually, if you put them in jail, you're doing them a favor.
You know, there should be at least within the criminal justice system a way that people that are addicted or mentally ill, when they're incarcerated, well, you got to be able to get them off the drugs or they're gonna die.
And there's a system, a medical way of getting people off drugs that I really don't know what it is.
But I know they do it.
I know if you go to a rehab center, you know who's educated me the most about this is Bob Beckle.
Bob Beckle, I mean, has been, God bless him.
I mean, he's doing well now, but he's been an addict his entire life in many ways.
And he's described, and he's then he spent a good part of his life helping a lot of these people.
You know, he tells me these stories.
He'll go to the homes, he'll be involved in these interventions and you know, go to the homes and the people are alcoholics, and the idea the family's gotten together, they're gonna say, okay, you go to rehab or you're out, we cut you off.
That's how the meeting goes.
And everybody's prepared, everybody has their letters written.
It's a very emotional scene, and Bob has been through this a thousand times.
You go to the person's house, and Bob will say, Okay, do you have any booze in the house?
And the person he says inevitably will always say, absolutely not.
And he says, Okay, I'm gonna search the house.
He finds it buried inside of toilets.
The way people will, the lengths and frankly, cleverness in some regards, if they would use it towards more positive aspects in life, they'd be doing well.
You know, that you know the back of the toilet, you lift it up, they stick the booze in there.
Who's ever gonna open that up?
He says you you will find it in places that you never they will create holes in the wall and make it so perfect that you would never notice with the naked eye, but he finds it.
Yeah, it's just insane.
So we do have to fix it.
Anyway, I've got all the other news of the day.
We got investigative, there is such a uh a negligence in terms of our justice system.
We'll get to the battle between the attorney general sessions and of course the president that's ongoing.
Michelle Malkin's checking in today.
Luke Rosiak has an incredible investigative report.
We have the other news of the day, 800 941 Shauna's on number.
You want to be a part of the program.
All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, uh, we have an update about Senator Grassley and the probe into possible collusion, and this matters, especially as it relates to between Hillary's campaign and and Russia.
Now it's a I know that that's not what you read every day.
I know that's not what the destroy Trump media says to you every day.
Anyway, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Charles Grassley, has launched an investigation that could potentially expose collusion between Clinton's presidential campaign and Russia.
Now, specifically what Grassley's doing here is now seeking information on Russian sources that provided dirt on then candidate Donald Trump to Christopher Steele.
Remember that Hillary all paid for.
This is the guy the British spy.
I thought foreign nationals weren't supposed to be involved in our politics and our elections.
Anyway, so the Daily Caller puts out today, uh, Chuck Ross is uh the author of this, that Grassley sent letters to the state and homeland security departments yesterday seeking the visa records of this guy, Olach uh Duraspakka, an aluminum aluminum magnet with links to Russian premier and president Vladimir Putin.
The committee has been examining relationships between Christopher Steele and others who may have provided information or participated in the creation of his dossier.
And Grassley sent letters in February to a lobbyist named Adam Waldman and Paul Hauser, London based attorney who represents this guy, asking about their connections to Christopher Steele.
Now Grassley also asked whether this guy ever hired Steele.
Now this is an interesting line of questioning.
He must know something.
Anyway, in his letters, Grassley is asking, you know, what he knows, when he knew it, and the implications of a connection between the c two would be massive and significant because of Steele's thirty five page report, which remains unverified and relies on information from unnamed Russian sources.
So in his letter, Grassley is asking the Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and the Department of Homeland Security chief for this guy's visa records, which finally makes sense.
You know, there there is so much.
This is what's frustrating.
If you read the New York Times today, they basically convict Jared Kushner of nothing to do with Trump Russia collusion at all.
But they convict him of some type of loan that he took out on one of his properties, and i i they make it the most corrupt, but then they at the end they'll say, Yeah, but we are we are not able to verify.
We are not at fully able to confirm.
We don't know, but we just said we knew everything.
The media is so corrupt in this country, it is so abusively biased, and they've been after this man even before the election, and ever since he's been elected.
Now they want to undo the election, basically undo the vote of the American people.
It's sickening.
All right, as we roll along, 25 till the top of the hour, 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, glad you're with us.
You know, um, so Chuck Todd over at uh NBC, he's telling the White House, uh, because Hope Picks had mentioned, well, I might have told white lies about the president.
And again, she's testifying before a House Committee on Intelligence.
You're sworn to uphold the truth, and so she says, Yeah, I've I've told white lies.
Now, let me ask Linda, uh, this is an important question.
Um, this is how I view a white lie.
Um, one day I come into work and I'm wearing something hideous, and uh maybe instead of a typical black shirt, maybe it's a different shirt that's like green with rainbows on it and and flowers and you're looking at me, or whatever it is, or stripes and you think it's hideous looking.
Now, are you gonna tell me and you're you always claim to be the most honest person?
Are you gonna actually tell me that it looks hideous, or are you gonna say, well, it's it looks nice?
I would always tell you it looks hideous.
All right, you I can name five specific instances where you have told lies.
So don't please name them.
I look forward to it.
Okay, treat.
No lied about that.
You s you're lying now about the lie.
Absolutely not.
All right, there's no point.
Sunshine, I'll ask you because you're gonna be you're gonna be you in this.
I think you look great every day no matter what.
Okay, even if I look hideous, you're not gonna tell me I look hideous, right?
Even if you look like a beast.
Okay, so if Donald Trump says to a reporter, oh, he'd really like to do the interview with you, but he's you know, he's he's got a lot of requests backed up and he's not gonna be able to do it.
Um, knowing that the president doesn't want anything to do with this reporter because of the way the reporter's been corrupt and biased.
That to me is the white lie.
And I'm sure Hope's probably on occasion said exactly that.
That is what a white lie is.
Have you ever told a white lie as we call it, whatever?
A white lie.
Hmm.
Yeah.
No, I don't think I tell white white.
I think No, I actually think you do, and you you don't want to admit it because you've got you've got to present this image of you, which is I'm the only one that'll ever tell you the truth.
There's a couple of things.
So privately, Linda Linda tells me that treat, no way that dog makes it.
Okay.
Perhaps that's the word we should be talking about.
Not white lies.
Tells me privately that treat the dog is never going to make it through training.
And then one day we're on the air.
That's not what I said.
And then one day we're on the air, and I'm saying, Linda, do you think treat the the dog that's being prepared to help, you know, military vets, and it's it's one of these dogs that that Lauren and her heart is training, but you have to give up the dog.
And you tell me no way the dog ever passes.
And then you say, Oh no, I absolutely think Treat has a great opportunity to pass.
I think she's gonna do it.
That's what you said to me.
That is called a white lie.
It's not a real lie, but you proclaim that I'm the only one that'll ever tell the whole truth, know the buttons of truth.
I tell it straight, man.
I'm the one I got, I'm never gonna be ever, ever, ever in any way not tell you the truth.
Occasionally I may not tell people that they don't look good in something.
Occasionally, I may say something because I don't want people to, you know, hear me saying something that could maybe offend them.
But on serious issues, I always tell the truth.
So on the bottom, that is not true, by the way, and you know it, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I'm not gonna break the privacy code.
You already brought it up.
I'm not gonna No, I didn't break it because I could break it.
It's broken.
Oh, I should take a I could take a vase and shatter it across the room, and it would be, you know, pretty shattered blunt force would be shattered.
Which you say you love, but you really don't because you have a heart, and you don't want to tell Jonathan that he really needs to trim his beard a little bit.
Actually, you know what?
It's funny.
I was talking to Jonathan earlier today.
Jonathan's in the studio, Jonathan Gilles.
Today is going to be on a little bit, but you know, this is a true story.
Jonathan just asked me a question, a very personal question.
What was it?
About his appearance.
And did you what did you say to him?
And I gave him blunt force trauma truth.
And what did you say to him?
I you know, I said, Yeah, right.
Oh God.
Okay, so we're gonna we're gonna do a poll.
Uh we'll do it on Hannity.com.
We'll take a picture and we'll post it since I'm gonna talk about this anyway.
But Jonathan has hair right now on his head, which he doesn't normally have.
He normally is, you know, this bald tough.
Let me let me be more blunt honest with you.
Jonathan looks like crap today.
I don't know what you've done to yourself today.
I mean, you've got this sweatshirt.
Uh yeah, I what time did you wake up today?
You look like you rolled out of bed.
No, I mean I that's it.
I'm writing another book, so I'm not sleeping.
When I start writing out of it.
Well, Sheep No More's done so well, I I I'm not surprised.
I mean, that book has killed it, and good for you.
But Jonathan has a sweatshirt on, but it's one of these sweatshirts where like it's so open on the neck that it actually shows his full shoulders are exposed to the top.
He's a beast.
He's got a thick neck because he's a Navy SEAL.
Okay, he doesn't ever trim his beard, which is a makes him look scary.
This is not the point of the story, first of all.
You've hijacked the entire narrative.
I need to reclaim my time and my story.
The point is that Jonathan asked me a question about his appearance.
And I could tell that he wanted the answer to be, I love the way your hair looks, but I told him the truth.
I said, I like your bald.
And Lauren and Lauren said what she said she would do.
What?
She said she loved the hair.
I really do, though.
Lauren is not lying.
Let me tell you something.
Lauren is never ever gonna tell you the truth if she thinks you'll look like crap.
Think about the way you used to dress it.
And I told her how terrible you looked.
But you gotta tell him the gist of how we broke the tie.
Well, you don't even like my golf shirt, so now I wear like those untucketed shirts.
First of all, first of all.
You had like three shirts in rotation for five days.
Inappropriate.
Let's start there.
It's not inappropriate because they gets cleaned every day I go home.
You have purple and pink shirts in rotation.
Blair is also in the studio today, and Blair does a lot of our computer work.
And and Blair, we call him sleepy beauty, because if whenever you need him for an emergency to get something up on the website, he's never available.
See, now this is when we should go into definitions of exaggeration because that happened one time.
One time Ah, Sunshine, stop lying.
That's another lie.
No, it was one time.
Okay, are you gonna call it a white lie?
Because you and I both know it's not true.
So when he's missing in action, I go, where the heck is Blair?
And she goes, No, no, no, he's on that's a white lie, because that's not what you said.
No, you said No, that's not the language you used at all.
That's a big old white lie.
Big white light.
It's not a white lie because I'm I'm within FCC within FCZ guide hunts.
But Blair was missing in action when we needed him, and you go to cover for him.
Like, for example, I'll say I'll give you another example of your white lies.
You ready?
This is wonderful.
No, I'll give you another.
So I will say when somebody messes up on the program, which doesn't really happen that often, I'll say, okay, who did it?
Was it Lauren?
Was it Sleeping Beauty?
Was it Jason?
Was it Ethan?
And I'll ask you, and you won't tell me.
I said, no, no, no.
No, that's not true.
And then you'll say, it's my fault.
Unlike Scotty Neil, when I take responsibility for my team.
Okay, that's admirable.
But then when I go in and I say, who did it?
And you say to me, Oh, it's uh it's all my fault.
I did it.
You're lying.
And you're lying to protect your crew.
Your crew over there.
You know, as if as if they're gonna get yelled at by me, which never happens.
Never happens.
That's correct.
They just get called out on air sleeping beauty.
That's that's not bad at all.
Listen, Blair's the greatest computer guy I ever met.
But God help you if you need him in an emergency.
He's sleeping.
And God forbid if you call a cell phone, he's not picking up because the ringer's not.
He needs to rest for all the work you're gonna give him during the day.
I don't listen.
You know, that's a really critical element of the story that you're leaving out.
What's that?
What time did the uh did the uh action occur here of the day?
It was when you needed us.
What time was it?
Yeah, tell us.
I think 10 o'clock at night.
Oh, 10 o'clock, really?
Is that what time it was?
No, I think you're wrong.
You think I'm wrong?
I actually know you're wrong, but I'm just gonna go back to the back of the time.
What time is it?
I don't remember.
It was uh 12 15 in the morning.
I remember I was on a plane.
I remember that part.
That's good.
I remember I was on a plane.
And uh oh, yeah.
I will give Ethan was out cold too.
He was gone.
He was sleeping beauty number two.
Lauren, she's just slowpoke.
It took her two hours by the time I rallied.
I fell asleep, but I I woke up.
All right, and then she's like, Hello, do you need me?
Um, but you uh to your credit, you're always up.
I'm always up, and I'm always on duty.
No, you're not really.
Oh my God.
Okay, are you serious?
You just have insults for the whole team today.
No, I'm not insulting anybody.
Uh but really, you're not insulting anybody.
Wow.
I'm insulting anyone.
Is that a white lie?
I don't think I am.
That's the truth.
That's not an insult to something.
Wait a minute.
Why can't we all just admit a simple truth that we all tell white lies?
I think you tell white lies.
I know you do.
So you know nothing.
I know what I know, and you know what you know.
When you say that, you're telling a full-on lie because you know you tell white lies.
You believe what you want to believe in the body.
No, it's just the absolute truth that you tell white lies, and just stop knowing as though you're above telling a white lie.
First of all, I am not about it.
Why do you have to lie about it?
Why do you have to lie about it?
I'm not lying about it.
You have told me to say you believe it doesn't make it true.
Did you or did you not tell me privately that treat is never gonna make it?
I plead the fifth.
I plead okay.
My point.
And then you came on air and you said, absolutely, I believe treat's gonna make it.
And my heart That was a white lie.
I think I think we need clarity on the issue.
In my heart of hearts.
Watch her spin, by the way.
This is like she's speaking like a Democrat.
This is like Bill Clinton.
It all depends what is it?
Then I'm a Democrat.
Now I'm a white liar.
Is there anything else we need to check off the list today?
Well, if you remember, I gave you recently a test at 2 30 in the morning.
What was the test?
If you were up.
Oh, okay.
Remember, did I not do that?
Yeah, a test.
What is it?
But if you said it urgent urgent.
No, I didn't say urgent, urgent.
That's right.
So it wasn't our sleep.
Well, I just testing.
But there's a caveat to that.
What's up?
Because my little guy was in my arms and the light is very bright on the phone.
That that's another lie you just told.
No, it's not.
Because if you were up, you would have texted me.
No, I couldn't because he was sleeping.
To your credit, I don't want to make it a big deal because to your credit, you're not going to be able to do it.
No, this isn't a big deal at all.
No, not.
You're available pretty much 24-7.
And you're no sleeping beauty or sleeping beauty too.
I love how it's the two guys that are missing in action.
Now, Jason, God love him.
He just doesn't have anything to do with the computer side of everything except for running, you know, all the engineering side of it.
So he's out of this.
I'm wondering.
I didn't try Jason, but I bet you Jason would have been up because he probably was still a coyote up there.
But he never answers his phone, so you can text him.
If I wrote him answers phone in the daytime.
No, he would write me back.
He's always written me back with a big one.
He's slow to text back, aren't you, Jay?
Jay.
Yeah, I'm I'm a little slow, but I'd be like, I'm I'm awake at two.
If you saw my email, you'd immediately respond.
If it's you, yeah.
Yeah, you'd respond to me.
He would respond.
You would never.
Exactly.
And I'd leave it.
I try to leave everybody alone on weekends.
I usually say to you what?
Enjoy your weekend.
Have fun.
Enjoy your family.
I'll be testing you at 2 35 AM.
I did that one time because you were saying, I never sleep with that.
Well, I don't.
And I wasn't asleep.
Blah, blah, blah.
How many times has this life been happening?
That's another.
Never.
That's an amazing fact.
Well, that's sleeping beauty.
We ought to tell everybody the whole truth.
This was when my Twitter account was quote compromised, aka hacked, and like I don't know how to fix this garbage.
I'm like, okay, this is you know, and you know, this is the funny thing.
I don't know, I don't I have no idea how to fix this.
I don't even tweet hardly anymore.
I ask everybody to send the tweet for me because you all hate the way I tweet and you don't like it when I get in big fights with people.
Everyone knows, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
You know, why are you wasting your time on this nobody?
I'm like, because I'm enjoying myself.
Um I actually but the problem is when I tweeted a real lot, it was like another job, and I don't have time for another job.
I want to do this job well, which I apparently did not do in this particular half hour because I've been distracted by my team.
You're fired.
But the only point I'm making is you know, when Chuck Todd is out there suggesting that and this bothers me because every woman in the Trump administration and I I wrote you a long piece about this yesterday.
Every woman around Donald Trump, his daughter, his wife, Hope Hicks, anybody that has been in his even as an 11-year-old kid is fair game to this corrupt media.
Hope Hicks has been there from the beginning.
I was there when it was Trump, Hope, and Corey Lewandowski, and that was the whole team for the most part.
And they were the ones that traveled with him, they were the ones that were with him, and Keith is bodyguard was usually around for most of that time as well.
And I saw how hard they work, I know how many hours they put in, and in all honesty, it's comparable to what all of you do every day, and I applaud all of you, even sleeping beauty.
Um listen, the lesson is learned.
Just you gotta have a phone next to you that can wake you up.
That's all I need.
It'll happen once a year.
Not I hope we don't get hacked 400 times a year, but there's been so many attempted hackings on us.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
And all of you are in charge of everything now, so it's you know, you're responsible.
It's not my b it's not my deal anymore.
Now, Stanginator, if I write him at three in the morning, he's gonna be out cold too.
It's you notice it's the guys on this team, sleeping beauty Blair, sleeping beauty Ethan, and where are you gonna be at two o'clock on a weekend night?
You have never reached me, and I have not gotten right back to you.
That's in twenty how many years have we worked together?
Twenty-six.
Twenty-six years together.
Yeah.
I think that's probably true, but on this occasion, it was really late at night, and I know you're older now, and you've got two kids.
That's true.
And you're in that back in the day, Stanger would be up at seven o'clock in the morning from the night before.
You actually texted me one time at six a.m. on a Sunday, and I happened to be up because my kid was sick.
Well, and you said I answered your question, and then and then you said, What are you doing away?
I'm like, I have a sick kid.
Listen, everybody wonders why they get texts, emails at three in the morning, two in the morning, six in the morning for me.
And I'm like, Well, because that I sleep in spurts.
I get a little sleep, and then I get up, I work, and then I do a little sleep and get up and work.
And I don't know, why am I even talking about this?
All right, let we gonna get focused here when we get back.
Michelle Malkin is gonna be with us.
800 941 Sean, but the bottom line is everybody tells white lies, and if they say they're not don't tell white lies, they're actually full online.
That's my contention.
All right.
And we may never disclose the video, depending on the prosecution and the criminal case.
Well, what I saw was a deputy arrive at the west side of building twelve, take up a position, and he never went in.
I didn't even release a remote.
You didn't look at the video.
I uh one week after the shooting, you hadn't looked at the video yet.
I looked at the video as soon as our investigators uh uh it wasn't my job to look at the video.
Seeing red flag after red flag after red flag, warning after warning after warning.
They hear that your office didn't even initiate a report when they got a call saying that this guy could be a school shooter in the making.
How could there not even be a report on this one?
Well, if the if that's accurate, Jake, there would there needed to be a report, and that's what we're looking into.
That a report needed to be uh completed, it needed to be forwarded to our either Homeland Security or or violent crimes unit, and and they would have followed up on that.
That's from your notes.
That's from notes released by your office.
I'm not I'm not making this up.
This is from Brouwer.
No, and that's and that's what that the officer who handled that is on restrictive duty and we are that's an active internal investigation and we are looking into it.
I can't tell you uh I can't predict how an investigation's going but we have I've exercised my due diligence.
I've led this county proudly as I always have we we have restricted that deputy as we look into it.
You know uh you know the the deputies make mistakes police officers make mistakes we all make mistakes but it's not the responsibility of the general or the president if you have a deserter.
You look into this we're looking into this aggressively and uh we'll t we'll take care of it and justice will be served.
All right 800 nine four one Sean if you want to be a part of the program that of course is Scott Israel and you know some of the more amazing things this guy keeps going out there oh well I'm not responsible for what my deputies do and oh I didn't bother looking at the tape but I've done an amazing job if you just look at me and you know it's not my fault when deputies fail.
I'm like I've given amazing leadership.
I'd have been the first person in well now we're discovering that in fact it was all about protocol that was being filed because it never made sense that in fact Coral Springs uh police officers went in and meanwhile Broward sheriffs the one guy that was actually working he had a a vest on and he had a concealed carry and he was there and he stayed outside and then the EMTs were told to stay outside and three other Broward County deputies they didn't go inside.
It's just you can't fathom this now they don't even want to release the tape according to the sheriff.
Anyway joining us now is Michelle Malkin always glad to have her she hosts of course the award winning T V series on CRTV and uh apparently the Hollywood International Independent Film Awards announced that one of your episodes about the fishing wars and about commercial fishing industry won a top award um I am shocked because usually you know we don't win awards especially with anything to do with Hollywood.
Yeah.
How did that happen?
They made a big mistake.
What did they not know who it was?
They they they did definitely didn't get the message but um yeah we're thrilled about it and you would love this story too because these are the forgotten men and women that you have devoted uh so much of your attention and energy to these guys love you.
I was out in Stonington, Connecticut in Providence, Rhode Island and these are third and fourth generation family fisher people who are suffering under the boot of big government trying to get their story out so we're just uh excited that we can help them do that.
You know you've been a a strong advocate you're watching as I'm watching everything that's going on as it relates to this particular sheriff and I'm thinking that this is not the police that I know.
This isn't the FBI I know missing two huge you know basically take out a billboard.
I want to be a professional a professional school shooter.
Oh and by the way phone call tip he's gonna blow up a school and shoot up a school and they didn't do anything.
And 39 times they've been to this kid's house but they don't report it every time oh why because uh it might impact the finances that they get in the school district.
Yeah that's right I mean these aren't just red flags uh as you're suggesting these were neon Broadway sized signs that were ignored deliberately.
I mean, this is by design and not by accident, and in large part it's because of the Chicago crony educrats that have infested so many of these school districts.
Robert Runcie, who is the school superintendent who worked with Sheriff Israel on these restorative justice policies that intended to erase any kind of law enforcement records simply because there were racial disparities that they couldn't accept.
And so they didn't want to record that a disproportionate number number of uh black students and Latina students were being referred so they didn't refer anybody.
It's that bureaucratic agenda of no records, no problem.
Well what did it lead to the deaths of 17 innocent teachers and students uh a river of blood and all of these unanswered questions and you know you've you played the the clip there of Jake Tapper and in large part I blame him and his feckless network for jumping to conclude conclusions about what happened there.
Imagine if they had done all of this shoe leather reporting before they decided to make a a big public Democrat talking points gun grabbing convention out of it.
I I I think that they're now trying to overcompensate, and I've uh mentioned this lawsuit that they and two other media outlets are um part of now to dislodge the surveillance videos uh that are being held under our lock and key.
Um and those surveillance videos could be released tomorrow.
I think it's a a farce of the.
Well, why do we have surveillance video?
Well, what's the point?
Listen, I first of all it should go to law enforcement.
But when the sheriff says we may never release it, um excuse me, those are our surveillance videos.
We paid for them.
It's just like, you know, dash cam videos, they sh it just should be a matter of course.
Release it.
That's right.
If you have to hold it back for legal purposes and the interim, okay, say as soon as we can legally do so, we will do it.
But well, now it'll go before a district judge who will review the videos in camera.
And to the extent that anything needs to be redacted because of confidentiality concerns or ongoing criminal investigation, then the judge should do that, but release those portions uh that are subject to the open records act.
And here you see the collusion between the school district and the sheriff's department.
They said that they confiscated uh the videos as part of their investigation, and then the school district says, oh, well, it's out of our hands because we gave it over.
Well, they should have maintained a copy as a requirement of the open records act, and then they could have have uh had the option to release it.
But they're trying to hide behind the sheriff's skirts and cover their own tracks too.
All right, let me move on because I want to get your thoughts on the FISA abuses, the battle between the president and and the attorney general Jeff Sessions.
Um if the attorney general was going to in fact recuse himself the minute he got into office, why did he accept that job, number one?
Number two, now that we in fact know, and and I'm interested in the IG report, I hope it comes out sooner rather than later.
I think we should get a lot of information.
And I will say that Horowitz seems to be going a lot further than the Attorney General's office, unless the the DOJ are doing things that we don't know about, but it's taken an awfully long time and it makes me think that things are not being done.
But I just want to I I I think this is a simple basic fundamental case.
If you're lying to Pfizer court judges for the purpose of getting a warrant on an not only an American citizen, but an opposition party candidate in a presidential election year, and you don't tell the judges well the first time,
the initial application and three subsequent applications or renewals, if you don't tell the judge that the opposition party candidate paid for it, and you don't tell the judge that it wasn't verified, and you actually go out of your way to create the sense that there was, you know, two separate sources corroborating a story, but it's really one source.
You know, that seems to me that something is really amiss because that would be shredding the Constitution and shredding our Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.
Absolutely.
I mean, we are in a grave crisis here, and um so many of these agencies' credibility have have been completely shot.
L let me say this.
Uh I followed a lot of Inspector General Michael Horowitz's work under the Obama administration, and he is no Obama lackey.
This is somebody who publicly challenged Obama stonewalling on Fast and Furious and the IRS investigation, who called out um the Obama's uh evasion of uh cooperation with the independent inspector general for you know almost the the entire eight years that Obama was in office.
Um and I have been a champion of the inspectors general in Washington for the last two decades under both the Bush and Obama administrations.
I have no doubt that when that report comes out that it will be serious, that it will be comprehensive, and that we will know that uh all of these months that we've been laboring to to find out whether anything was happening, um that in fact that that this investigation has been ongoing.
And I think that some people may be misinterpreting um Sessions' answer yesterday that um people seem to to think meant that they were only getting started on an on investigation into these five abuses now.
I think if we read between the lines uh, and especially if we look at all of the information that has been disclosed to date, I I mean this I think that the investigation not only has been ongoing, but it has been wide in its scope.
Explain to me your thoughts on how the media without evidence has has been able to keep a narrative alive for a year.
Um, and if there is evidence of Trump Russia collusion, now you get we we're now getting a leak a day from the special counsel's office.
They they now have they're now using their willing accomplices in the media uh every single day to leak something that is either old or something they've not been able to corroborate to create the impression that any second now that Donald Trump is is gonna be, you know, uh accused of of colluding with Vladimir Putin, that he knew about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks and and knew that that was all coming out and colluded to release that information.
And there's no evidence of any of it, but the media breathlessly, hysterically has now been reporting it for almost 20 months.
Yes, and that is the stubborn power of the Beltway Press Echo Chamber, and the muscle that the fourth estate has wielded almost without challenge for so long.
But I think the good news is that they're not nearly as powerful as they think they are.
And I think the success of your show, not just the ratings, but your ability to get the real truth out, and by extension, that the manifestation of people's hunger to get the truth out um should give us uh, you know, cause for not celebration, but at least relief.
And you know, for all of these years, you've always told people let let not your heart be troubled.
And I I I feel that as much turmoil as uh the news media, the news trolls who are worse than any Russian trolls out there in sowing the seeds of division in this country are not going to succeed.
Well, look at what the New York Times is doing.
If you read the New York Times on Jared Kushner today, you would expect that Jared and the the irony of all ironies, Ken Starr said this is such an overreach by Robert Mueller, and he's right.
But but it you would think that this was the issue.
Nothing to do with Russia at all, but everything to create every possible impression of of quid pro quo financial dealings with Jared Kushner.
That you would think he's guilty, and it seems in this environment that even at a mere mention by any news media, regardless of their media bias, that it's it's guilt the minute they just say it might have happened.
Right.
And and that is the manufacturing of all of these squirrels, I call them.
Discrat distraction squirrels.
Um and you know, these these news hounds create these squirrels to try and distract the public um from the basic fact that their thesis from the from day one of the Trump administration and even before that has been completely sabotaged.
There is no truth to it, and they'll keep repeating it over and over again, and they'll keep digging and digging, and they'll keep digging in their heels.
And I have to say, I think this is the concern about probably among a lot of people about why they don't want to appoint a second special counsel.
Because if you are going to give them all those prosecutorial powers, we're gonna end up with Moeller 2.0.
All right, we'll take a break, we'll come back.
We'll talk about the attorney general and the president, and they're back and forth yesterday.

John Hannity.
John Hannity.
All right, as we continue, Michelle Malkin, award-winning host, CRTV.
So you have a back and forth with Jeff Sessions yesterday, and I just want to get your your take on it.
I don't like to see fighting within the family, certainly.
It's almost like Mom, Dad, stop fighting.
Um there are a lot of people who have the hope that this is part of the 4D chess game, that that what they're doing is sort of luring the left into uh siding with Sessions and and Horowitz, and then you know, when the results of that Inspector General's report come out, uh they'll be you know boxed in.
Um I I hope so.
Um but what we do have here, I don't think it's necessarily a I mean, the uh obvious read on it from from mainstream media that's taking glee in it is that this is an adversarial and hostile relationship.
But you know, I go back and look at um how Jeff Sessions was one of the earliest backers um of Donald Trump, you know, faced the wrath of so many of the establishment uh Republican senators.
And if the contrast is here between um you know the relationship between between Trump and the attorney general versus the lackey that Eric Holder was doing everything to pervert the Department of Justice and make it a a tool of uh a left-wing president who had no respect for the Constitution.
Maybe that's what we're going for here.
All right, Michelle Malcolm, love having you as always.
Thanks for being with us, and uh congratulations again on the award for your show, CRTV.
Twenty-five now till the top of the hour.
In a second, we're gonna be joined here by Luke Rosiak, investigative reporter for the Daily Caller.
We're gonna talk a lot about his news story about the FBI, the DOJ, their actions in the house hacking case, which are even more indefensible than the than in the other cases that we know about, and you know how the inexplicable lack of charges tells us everything you need to know about how deep state the deep state really is and the power they have.
Um now, if you watched and have you been following those of you on the show what we do on this show, well, you know that Luke Rosiak has been we've been covering this now for a year with him, as he's been breaking this news.
You got a well-respected IG saying that based on the indisputable server logs, the Pakistanis remember, hacked Congress's data, and there were numerous other frightening red flags, and prosecutors never charged them without the FBI even looking into it enough to disprove it.
And the FBI put a a first-year agent on the case who followed a suspect to the airport, found an illegal amount of cash on her, let her board the flight anyway, and file papers saying, well, she's gone for good.
And then six months later, no one could can explain how the the lack of hacking charges can be justified given the amount of facts.
But we'll hear more about Trump and Russia.
Don't worry about that.
And remember, this includes the Imran Awan, and he stole the server containing the evidence after they were caught.
And the DOJ never even charged things that the FBI actually brought to them.
And Debbie Wasserman Schultz has fought to keep prosecutors from bringing charges, and her brother, remember, works as an assistant U.S. attorney in the same office that's actually handling the case.
Now, one of the code defendants said that she's being controlled by Imwan Aran uh Aran uh well, this guy Imran Awan is his name, uh, via death threats.
And prosecutors never mention the fact that she's obviously under duress uh nor trying to flip her.
And Jeff Sessions, why isn't he acted here?
And there's there's irrefutable evidence in this case and it's harming national security.
Let's go back at our archives and listen to Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatening the that Capitol Police Officer, because remember he had the laptop, and then Debbie Wasserman Schultz, you know, regarding her guy Imran Owan, saying, Well, he did the right thing.
Okay, he was overcharging and people that had no IT skills were being paid massive amounts of of money.
And then she talks about you know, the the staffer was says that that she fired him after only after he was arrested, and she says she kept Imran Iran around because of concerns that he was being ethic uh ethnically and racially profiled.
Let's play those.
Under my understanding, the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate members' equipment when the member is not under investigation.
It is their equipment and it's supposed to be returned.
Well, I think there's genuine circumstances in this case, and I think I think that you know working through my counsel and you know the necessary personnel is if that in fact is the case and with the permission of through the investigation and we'll return the equipment.
But until that's accomplished, I can't return the equipment.
and should expect that there would be consequences.
Not only I believe that I did the right thing, and I will do it again.
Because, as I said at the beginning of this conversation, there are times when you can't be afraid to stand alone, and you have to stand up for what's right.
And you know, even in the face, you have to there are times you have to spend political capital to do what's right.
Like I said, the easier thing to to do for me would have been to just fire him.
Obviously, I was the person who's had the most political challenges in the last year, so it would have been much easier for me to just cut him loose and say, you know, I'm gonna look out for my best interests then rather than stand up for what I believe in.
Uh but I have to be able to look at myself in the mirror every day.
And uh and I'm if there's one thing I'm going to make sure that I uh that that I maintain is my integrity.
Well, he's not my staffer.
I he no longer works for me, and when he was arrested, I terminated him.
I kept him on the payroll during the time that he was not arrested and not charged with anything, and that was because, as I said, that I was concerned about the violation of his due process rights, and also that there were racial and ethnic profiling concerns as well.
I have maintained uh that it was important and will continue to maintain that when someone's due process rights are are uh be potentially being violated, that I'm going to stand up and make sure that uh that that people's rights are protected in this country.
That's the oath that I swore to uphold when I swore to uphold the Constitution, and when he was arrested and due process was established, then I terminated him.
All right, joining us now, investigative reporter Luke Rosiak is with us.
You know, you've done an amazing amount of work in the last year, and it's beyond shocking that there's no indictment, seemingly no movement, and we keep literally spinning our wheels on the same topics every day, and despite all the evidence that we bring forward, well, absolutely nobody moves.
And I don't understand it.
Now you got the president and Jeff Sessions in a and you know, attacking each other because they're both sick and tired of each other.
Yeah, exactly, Sean.
It's surreal to be talking about this with you today because it's been exactly almost to the day, a year, since we've been talking about Imran Iwan, and what we've learned in the in the months since then about the FBI and the DOJ in general, we've seen how time and again they've had evidence, things about things like Hillary Clinton sending classified information on private servers.
They have the evidence and they don't bring any charges, and that's been the pattern that's been so clearly emerging.
But I think this case is the most damning of all of them.
And I think that Jeff Sessions is gonna have to ask uh answer a lot of questions.
They don't want to bring in charges.
These guys are gonna be in court next week.
On Thursday, and right now they're still they just charge them with minor things involving wiring hundreds of thousands of dollars over to Pakistan.
And they acknowledge in court papers that they say they were doing that to escape the under underlying investigation.
They knew we were already on to them for the house stuff, and they were trying to flee.
Okay, well, where are the charges for the house stuff?
Because they have the uh the investigation from the IG.
And so in these other failings of the FBI, and and there's so many of them.
There's the fail the political failings is probably the wrong word because when you see them not bringing charges against Democrats, i it kind of seems like it's not necessarily uh like it might be intentional, but then you also have the the bungled things like when the school shootings and they don't follow up on the tips.
But with this is like the House Inspector General spent six months, a team of government cybersecurity experts built this case on these guys, and it indicated strong suspicion that these guys could be foreign spies, they could be blackmailing members with their data, they could be selling info.
The investigation uses words like insider threat and nefarious, and this is happening at the same time that we're constantly hearing from Democrats and others about cybersecurity is the biggest threat, we're being hacked, foreign meddling.
This was totally consistent with all those things.
And they give it to the FBI, and they literally put a first year agent on the case.
I mean, just one guy, and he's just kind of rooting around.
I mean, I think if Imran Owan would have pulled out a joint and smoked some marijuana, Jeff Sessions would have sicked more uh agents on him than they did in this case.
It's a lot of people.
Let's go over, if we can, all the evidence that and all the stories that you've now broken in a year, because you know, we've been so busy, obviously focused on on FISA abuses, Hillary's email, uranium one, um uh the special counsel, the the double standard, no equal justice under the law, dual application of laws, that this actually goes by the wayside and it's a massive scandal, and we have all the evidence.
Explain I just want you to bring everybody up to speed.
Well, um what the IG found is that they're you know impersonating members of Congress, they're moving data off the house network, and uh my reporting found that uh they were operating these side businesses, one of which took a hundred thousand dollars from this fugitive tied to Hezbollah.
They're moving uh huge amounts of money around.
Their family members say that they would sell their own family for a penny, they'd do anything for money.
So people really think that they were blackmailing members or selling this data.
And uh really, you know, there's been there's so much there, but what what I think uh what I want to focus on today is the way that the DOJ and the FBI responded to this.
I mean, they followed them to the airport, they let her leave, and you know, this information that I've reported, I've done fifty stories on these guys.
Let me let me go back though a little bit further so we can give a little more background for our audience because listen, uh uh I'm following all of this every day, and I forget details.
And you know, you've done such a good job exposing this case.
But remember, so Imran Owan actually is the IT guy for Debbie Wasserman Schultz and a number of other Democrats.
And let's let's pick it up from there and and literally end it at the point where he not only the the airport where they let the this woman get away, but also when he leaves a note for law enforcement with Debbie Wasserman Schultz laptop.
Explain.
Right.
So the the uh IG finds that he's doing all this really bad stuff on the House Network and they ban him from the computers.
Um but he comes into the office anyway after he's been banned, and he takes Debbie Wasserman Schultz's hard drive uh computer and leaves it in a phone booth at midnight after he's been banned from the network.
We we have people, he's double billing, he's hiring family members, if I recall correctly.
One worked at a fast food place, another worked at uh something involving the sale of automobiles, and if they really had the IT experience that they're getting paid a lot of money for, I mean the equivalent in some cases of what the chief of staff of any congressman or woman would get, which isn't a lot of money in Washington, and literally they don't have the qualifications, and they were caught double billing, and Debbie Wasseman Schultz kept them on.
And he still had access to the computers.
And there we believe that there was top secret secret and and special access program classified information on these computers, don't we?
Uh you know, I I don't know about classified information, but it's stuff that members of Congress you can blackmail them with, you can sell it to ISI, things like that, and tell to Pakistani intelligence.
So there's a couple different things going on here.
It seemed like they're probably ghost employees and they're getting paid seven million dollars over the last they've been getting they got the whole family on the payroll.
Like you said, one of them's actually working at McDonald's.
They're no show employees by by a lot of different eviden pieces of evidence.
And uh so there's the component of that that kind of fraud and then equipment is going missing but really the most concerning one is the is the data stuff.
And you know some of the investigators are like honestly when we saw the data stuff, I mean honestly it doesn't even matter if they stole 10 million dollars, this is frightening stuff.
But what we didn't see is a commensurate response from law enforcement.
And so months go by and they're just kind of nibbling around the edges.
I go down to court and I find out that they're in they're suing their own family, their family's suing them.
They're in court with constantly being accused of fraud by different people, suing other people.
I find that this guy has two different wives under Islamic law in Virginia and both of them called the police on and blood and they were found bloodied.
One of them said she was being kept kept like a slave and and this is stuff that's going on in suburban Virginia by some of the house the the highest the highest paid staffers in the house.
And so looking at these court papers involving this woman who says she's being kept as a slave, I find that he's using a secret email address one two three at mail dot house dot gov. I trace that back to Andre Carson why isn't this guy in jail?
That's the question here and I and I don't think we have time to go by the way to talk more about this isn't it likely Debbie Wasserman Schultz is complicit in this the reason so this has occurred the lack of proper response under the GIJ has occurred primarily this year under Jeff Sessions and the reason that they haven't done anything is because Debbie Wasserman Schultz has used her power to pressure them.
So here you have Jeff Sessions.
He doesn't want to, when, you know, Trump is encouraging him to do things, he says, oh, that would be inappropriate for me to respond.
But when the Democrats are pressuring the DOJ, Wasserman Schultz is still manipulating the DOJ on this.
And that is why they haven't charged him, despite the evidence that they have.
Stay right there.
We're going to come back.
Investigative reporter with The Daily Caller, Luke Rosiak, is with us.
Hey, if you believe in the Second Amendment like I do and.
you're a responsible gun owner like I am and you need to be responsible look if you're looking for the perfect handgun for self-defense these days that you know the day and age of home invasion the day and age where you know people are literally shot in their cars.
And as we continue investigative reporter Luke Rosiak is with the Daily Caller and we're talking about his his brand new column out today.
So let me go to the headline of your story.
You know why did the FBI well in this particular case in the DOJ why why are they acting the way they're acting so the DNC and the Democrats still seem to have this hold on the FBI uh and they've manipulated them so much.
I mean let's go back to the election you've got Wasserman Schultz in charge of the DNC and you've got her uh manipulating the FBI into starting this investigation into Trump by feeding the FBI this dossier that the DNC has paid for.
At the same time the DNC is half their emails are released and they start saying well foreign meddling and hacking these are the worst things in the world uh the sky is falling but the FBI can't see a server of the DNC.
So what people didn't really know until recently is around the same time the IG of the House came out with this report indicating that Wasserman Schultz's own Pakistani-born IT guy seemed to have done just that.
There were numerous indications that he was doing hacking and potentially foreign meddling, potentially having connections to foreign governments.
And so Wasserman Schultz, instead of saying, well, geez, we've got to treat this just as seriously as we have with all the other cyber breaches, she starts meddling with the DOJ again.
this time in the opposite direction, making sure sure they don't pursue it so you we heard that that audio clip where she's threatening the police chief with consequences.
Yeah yeah you apprehend the woman at the airport you let her go get out she's suspected of hacking Congress.
Uh awan and his family members you know logging into servers of of Congressmen and women uh people they don't work with unbelievable and where does it go and who's paying them uh all right great work uh I gotta tell you Luke Rosiak will stay on it.
We seem eventually hopefully one day the Department of Justice FBI gets their act together.
This is the most corrupt I've ever seen it.
Uh all right when we come back Jonathan Gillum, Danielle McLaughlin, all the other news of the day that we haven't had time to get to and your call straight ahead eight hundred nine four one Sean our toll free telephone number.
One of the things that we've heard and I don't know if this is true or not I can hope you can s shed some light on it, is that there might have been a stand down order.
Somebody on the radio telling Brouwer deputies not to enter the school until a SWAT team arrived.
What can you tell us about that?
I can't tell you anything about that.
I I haven't heard that.
As I said, we feverishly are dissecting.
It's a voluminous investigation.
There was uh while the killer was on campus with this horrific killing, uh, there was one deputy, one armed person within the proximity of that school, and that was Peterson.
Everything else is fluid, and uh as I said, we will get to the truth.
But right now, people could have conjecture, people could go act on rumors, and people have, you know, everybody has the right to their own opinion, but nobody has the right to their own set of facts.
Yeah, nobody has their right to their own set of facts.
Now we know there was a stand down order, which makes sense.
Uh what have I been saying?
I never in my entire life ever heard of a police officer that was armed and had a vest on that would take a position outside and not go in.
And then on top of that, it made no sense that three other cops didn't go in as well.
But the Coral Springs, which is the local community, those cops came and raced in.
And then the Broward County Sheriff, then what they're telling the EMTs they can't go in, and people literally seconds matter when you're bleeding out after a shooting, and you can save lives.
It never made sense.
I've never known any police officer that would ever act that way.
Never mind four, but it appears it was protocol.
It appears that that's what they were told to do.
And on top of every other ridiculous thing that Sheriff Scott Israel has said, oh, I may never release the video of the school shooting.
No, you gotta release the video.
Let's see what happened.
Let's see what so we can prevent it from ever happening again.
And you know, he doesn't look at the video for over a week, say, Oh, that's not my job.
Oh, it's not my fault when my deputies fail.
And oh, I've given amazing leadership as the Broward County Sheriff Sheriff, but I would have been the first person in.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, news roundup information overload.
Glad you're with us.
800-941 Sean, Jonathan Gillam, Danielle McLaughlin uh are here with us.
Uh Jonathan, I you know, it never made sense.
It never made sense.
And I'm thinking, all right, maybe one cop just was he wasn't part of the 99.9%.
Right.
But for no way.
There's there was no way in hell four cops would stay outside when they know there's an active shooter of of students inside.
No way.
You know, and the the my book, Sheep No More, The Art of Awareness and Attack Survival, you wrote the forward to it.
It I put in there uh some history, uh past history of failures, and I included in there Columbine, which is the the attack by uh Cleebolton Harris, two students who did not use AR-15s, and uh and all the mistakes that they made that were repeated in Orlando that many years later.
Columbine set something in motion called active shooter response, and all law enforcement is trained in that.
But something's going on down in Florida, when you look at the response of what happened in San Bernardino with uh with the terrorists, that was effective response, timely and effective.
But what happened in Orlando and now what happened here with this sheriff, I have to think, because in both of these locations, the politics are so leftist.
Well, did you see that no look when the Coral Springs police captain or uh sheriff, I'm not sure who it was.
I don't know what's a it's a police department that's a police department.
When they came out with their statement that our guys went in, we want the community to know we got there and we did our job, and we were the first in.
And that's not a hired that's not an elected official.
No.
See, there's the difference.
That's a police department.
There's the difference.
Okay.
Now, here's a simple question, Danielle.
You're in any municipal building, God forbid, uh, there's An active shooter, would you feel better if you knew that there were trained retired police officers, trained, retired military that had concealed carry and that were on the premises there as it's going on, especially knowing that the average shooting in a case like this is over in under three minutes.
Hi, good afternoon, Sean.
Hi, uh Jonathan.
Great to be with you again.
Look, I actually do agree.
I think that we have uh people on Airbraft to defend us in case of problematic.
So you want you want the retired armed military or retired armed police on site, if God forbid you're in a building with an active shooter.
I think we need to look at this not only in a municipal building and no no, I'm not asking if we should look at it.
I'm asking if you're God forbid ever in an in in a municipal building and there's an active shooter, would you rather have armed, trained, retired, military, police officers right there on site, as it's happened.
Absolutely.
Okay, that was the simple question.
Now you can go on with your other statement.
No, and all I mean was to say that I actually think that we do need to look at hardening these schools.
I love Jonathan's approach, which is looking at these schools from the attacker's approach.
I know obviously that's a lot of what your book deals with, Jonathan.
I had grave concerns about putting teachers in the line of fire by arming them.
That's a whole other conversation, which I'm not in support of.
But we have people who are trained, even police officers when they are faced with gunfire, the numbers aren't great in terms of being shot or being injured.
The FBI did it in a uh a survey between 2000 and 2013.
It's not without its risks.
But we need to do something about this gun violence epidemic, and I think it needs to be multifaceted, but I'm not an agree, I'm not in disagreement that that shouldn't be something that's a good idea.
So would I forget about the gun debate, which is as I've been arguing from the beginning is it's it this happens, it's predictable, although President Trump is is trying to find a middle ground.
I don't agree with every one of his proposals, but he's obviously trying to find a middle ground.
But here's my point to you.
So the idea that we would do a full security threat assessment of every school in America, and that we would control the perimeter in terms of entry points, at least, you know, maybe it's two or three people outside walking around the outside of the school, that we'd have an ID system that nobody gets in the school unless you have a proper ID.
You go through a metal detector.
Every school floor has concealed carry, retired military police.
Um would that be a good idea to prevent and help in case of something happening?
Wouldn't that go a long way to stopping this, Danielle?
I think it has to be a a part of the solution.
But here's my concern.
If we do this for schools, this is a very reactive response.
Wait a minute.
What happens of shooting incidents occur in no gun zones.
Right.
But what happens in movie theaters?
What happens in malls?
What happens not only schools?
Are we going to overly militarize our community so that everywhere you go is uh you feel like you're in prison?
Like there has to be a way of dealing with this without turning us into our own, like prisoners of our own security.
But that that's the argument and and I wanna one thing I do want to say is I'm finding that more and more liberals are coming on board with the reality that we have to secure stuff rather than just uh start messing with the Constitution.
But here's one thing that I want Danielle and all the other liberals to understand is that and and not just liberals, but anybody out there, that we're not militarizing.
See, that that's you don't look at the airport as being militarized.
You look at the airport as being heavily secured.
Um, even that needs to be rethought somewhat.
But if we had the schools where we had a controlled perimeter, you're not gonna be walking on there saying this is like walking, you know, being a part of the military.
It's not what you're gonna you're gonna say.
I mean, when you go to a federal building, you don't you you work in courthouses, you don't feel like it's militarized, you feel like it's controlled.
And that's the thing that we need to do is set up these systems to control who comes in and who comes in and and who's around the facility so that we can stop an attacker before they ever get in.
And that's that's not what's being talked about.
I gotta say, from my point of view of what the president's talking about, um, for the first time uh I think in his short career so far, he's now a politician.
He's now looking at things from a political standpoint, and that is going to be the downfall of this is that he's not talking about security.
He's talking about Well, he talked his first point yesterday was about security.
His very first point.
You've been how long it's been?
It's been almost it's been over two weeks.
And it's also but the second point was about mental health.
Right.
And then he talked about getting everybody together in one bill.
But the priority shifted.
Well, yeah, I mean, listen, I I think that the president is trying to be reactive, and and one of the hallmarks or you know, th one of the things that I think he wants to do differently is that he wants to get actually get things done, and that means concessions that I would not give in to.
But I do believe that people that are mentally unfit have no should have no access to a gun.
I I agree.
And and in this case, we missed every sign and symptom.
All right, let me move on to another topic here.
So there's a feud with the Trump administration and California.
It's like all out warfare now over the issue of immigration.
Of course, we know it's a sanctuary state, and we also know that we have an Oakland mayor that actually went out and warned illegal immigrants of looming sweeps out there, leading Homeland Securities deportation chief to accuse her of endangering her city and his officers.
So they're actually you have an Oakland mayor aiding and abetting what is the law.
Whether you like the law, don't like the law, he's tipping off and literally acting as an accomplice in law breaking.
And and by tipping people off, doesn't that create a danger for law enforcement?
Daniel.
I'll let you take this one first.
Oh, yes, thank you so much.
You know what?
I actually don't think that somebody in political office should be doing this.
There are plenty of immigration uh groups, public interest groups, people who help, people who are uh trying to find a path here, and there is plenty of warnings that go out across communities.
Believe me, it happens.
I I I know about this.
I actually don't think that the mayor should be getting involved in this particular thing.
But I do think that sanctuary cities form have a purpose.
They have they have uh you know, they have power and authority over their own laws, and what they're doing actually is an example of federalism, which tends to be something that Republicans really get behind, which is states get to do what they want to do unless there's a power, you know, articulated in the Constitution that the federal government has.
And so I'll be very honest with you.
Normally uh liberals don't like federalism, they want more power in the federal government.
But right here, what ICE is doing is trying to get states to do things that they are not legally required to do, and that's why we have this tension between the federal government on one side and the cities and states on the other.
All right, take a break, we'll come back.
Jonathan got off the hook, he dodged and ducked like I've never seen him dodge in the city.
Well, I think they should just be prosecuted.
That's what I think if you look at the the facts that are already in the public domain, they're pretty damning.
Uh starting with what we know about George Papadopoulos, one of the few foreign policy advisors to the campaign.
We now know that uh Papadopoulos was approached by the Russians and told back in April of the election year, even before the Clinton campaign knew that the Russians had stolen Clinton and DNC emails.
And we also know that they previewed their dissemination, the anonymous dissemination of those emails with Papadopoulos back in April.
Now it was only weeks later that the Russians made a second approach to the Trump campaign, this time at the highest levels at uh Trump Tower in a meeting that they previewed by saying that they wanted to offer to incriminating information about Hillary.
Is it enough for Mueller to bring charges?
Because if it isn't enough for Mueller to bring charges, what does that mean?
Well, what it means as a solution.
This is a very important question.
Um that is what's Mueller's job and what's our job.
Bob Mueller will make the decision whether there is proof beyond reasonable doubt to in indict and convict people.
He it is not his responsibility to tell the country what happened.
Uh and indeed there's no guarantee that the country will ever learn what Bob Mueller finds apart from an indictment.
It's the job of the Congress to tell the American people what happened.
Uh whether it reaches the standard beyond reasonable doubt, or we merely find clear and convincing evidence of collusion.
So it's important, I think, that we set out the facts for the public, set out the facts about what the Russians told Papadopoulos about what the Russians uh did in setting up that meeting in Trump Tower.
Uh now bear in mind that meeting at Trump Tower, which takes place after the campaign is alerted that the Russians have these emails.
All right, let me move on.
All right, so that's Adam Schiff.
Uh Papadopoulos was approached by Russians and told the Russians stole the DNC emails.
Uh, I'm not believing his four-way hearsay.
And then, of course, Schiff uh Don Jr. meeting with the Russians at Trump Tower looks like collusion to me.
Uh, how about paying for a Russian dossier full of Russian government lies?
That looks like collusion to me.
Jonathan Gillum.
Are you gonna punt this one or are you gonna stick with Danielle McLaughlin and uh and and take it on first?
No, listen, anytime I can talk bad about Adam Schiff, I'll talk about him because I have never he is the quintessential uh corrupt politician, this guy.
I mean, no uh nothing that he says is fact-based.
It's all ideological left based.
And when he I don't even know how why he's on that committee, because he doesn't do anything but obstruct uh real things from being done.
And uh it's caused a huge problem in trying to identify how corrupt Mueller and this investigation actually is, because he's constantly egging um the rest of the people that are trying to do what's right in this committee.
Um he's constantly getting in the way of that.
And I have a real problem.
That's not what we hire politicians to do.
We hire them to go up there and manage the country, and in this case, he just like the the uh the mayor that we were talking about from Oakland before we went to break.
You know, he's obstructing justice.
All right, Danielle, how do you argue with that?
Look, I think the problem here is David Nunes.
I think that the all of the nonsense with the Republican majority report coming out ten days before the Democrat the Democrats could get a rebuttal out there is really problematic, especially at a time where social media, you know, ten days is a lifetime in terms of trying to rebut some of the claims that were made.
That memo is full of emissions, and as you all know, when you you know swear to tell the truth, you tell the whole truth.
And a lie can be a live omission.
The Democratic memo, I think, was very clear on its use of the the the dossier uh and the extent to which there were many other things that corroborated some of the information in the dossier to support the Pfizer warrant.
So I don't actually have any.
Excuse me.
If you look at the Grassley Graham memo, the bulk of the application was the thingy, the phony Clinton bought and paid for dossier that they never told the Pfizer judge about.
But I gotta leave it there.
Thank you both.
Uh 800-941 Sean Tollfree telephone number.
Your calls are next.
An amazing Hannity.
I'll tell you about it straight ahead, 9 Eastern tonight.
9 Eastern tonight.
Information download.
Sean Hannity and the breaking news you might have missed today.
It's Sean's Insider Information.
Hennedy is on right now.
This is Jason with Sean Hannity's show.
Uh Sean challenged me to see if I could do at least 10 reps of 230 pounds bench pressing.
So uh I believe he said I would get 500 for doing that.
So I'm aiming to collect my money, so let's do this.
First off, let me show you that the weight is indeed uh 230 pounds.
Right there.
The weight is a hundred and fifteen pounds on each side.
So I will do at least ten reps, and I think just to show off, I'll do at least fifteen, maybe twenty.
So that's it.
Twenty-one reps of two hundred and thirty pounds.
I should get a good grand for that effort.
And I'll take my money in small bills.
Thank you very much.
I'm counting 420, 40, 60, 85.
Uh, Jason, can you walk in the studio?
And Ethan, you take over.
You take over the board, and I will show this on the air.
Now the entire video, I didn't believe it.
I didn't think that he could.
I didn't believe that he'd be able to do 23, 10 reps.
And because you haven't been working out a lot, so I figured, oh, you might be getting soft on us.
That's pretty awesome.
We're proud of you.
No, you gotta talk into a microphone.
It's radio for crying out loud.
Yes.
I hate to become doughy like you've become the last two years.
Oh, really?
Does this look doughy?
Thanks a lot.
I don't feel doughy.
There you go.
Well, you're not doing anymore.
You just gave all your dough away.
Yeah, I gave all my dough away.
Um I'm proud.
I'm really proud of it.
Your empty pockets Hannity.
You know, everybody thinks that if I'm I challenge somebody, like for example, I don't think you could do 25 push-ups on a tape today, could you?
No, I could not.
No, but you could run what's that silly bike program that you're a part of that Peloton.
Peloton.
What's Peloton?
Peloton is a cycler's dream.
Okay, so you you go on the bike and you have a video and you actually take a course and you try and keep up with people strangers.
Do you get thousands and thousands of people all over the world?
But you can't see each other at the same time, right?
Can you see them?
No, I could see people in the class, but I can't see people cycling at home.
Is it always a live class or you can do live classes any time of the day?
You can do on demand classes.
You can go for a scenic ride, which I did the other day with Liam.
He sat on the handlebars and we took a scenic ride through Taiwan.
Liam didn't sit on the handlebars for longer than 20 seconds.
It was it was impressive.
That was so a minute workout.
I mean, that's a record.
And how long do you usually ride that silly bike for?
About an hour.
You ride that bike for an hour, and it's like an intense what do you call it?
Spin class.
Yeah, I burn like a thousand calories.
That's crazy.
It's awesome.
Now, Sunshine, have you ever seen your sister do this or what?
No, I haven't, but I am familiar with the program.
Oh, you do it too?
No, no, no, I don't do that.
But I know it's a good workout.
People love it.
And Ethan, do you do any workout at all?
I drop wood.
Do you really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Last time.
Sweet J baby James was chopping wood and his back was out for a month.
I don't know if that's the best exercise.
It's it's actually a very good exercise.
I mean, that's basically what uh CrossFit.
CrossFit, they have the people take the sledgehammers and slam the tires like they're chopping wood, but they don't actually get anything done.
Let me just say to Jason, the entire video of Jason Lifting is up on Hannity.com.
I think uh we just took a video because uh I see Sleeping Beauty is here taking videos of the show.
You know, he's actually very fit too.
No, he used to do marathons.
He still does.
Well, what do you call the bigger uh He's a triathlon triathlon?
He's a triathlete.
All right, put Blair on the microphone.
So you did triathlons.
Describe what a triathlon is.
Iron Man.
What is an iron?
What is the Iron Man?
What do you gotta do?
What is an Iron Man?
You gotta explain it.
This is radio.
What's wrong with you people?
It's a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and then a marathon.
26.2 miles.
Say it again.
2.4 mile swim.
All right.
If anyone does that alone, you're dead.
Go ahead.
112 mile bike.
I could do that more the easier than anything.
How long does uh that take?
It takes me about five hours and fifteen minutes.
And how long does it take you to do the swim?
Uh about fifty-six minutes.
Okay, and then twenty, then you do a full-on marathon after that.
And how many hours total do you get to done it?
Um the best I've ever done is nine fifty-two.
Nine hours and fifty-two minutes of nonstop exercise.
What do you feel like the next day?
Death.
Death.
It's and when you train for it, you can't actually train and actually do a full Iron Man, right?
No, you just do a lot of biking, a lot of running.
A lot of like and do you still do this?
Is that maybe why you're always sick and in the hospital because you're breaking everything because you're pushing your body over the limit?
Oh, you're welcome.
Oh, good.
Listen, I'm I'm not disagreeing, yeah, but you better be careful there, handsome, because you know uh she saved your sleeping beauty, and if I start talking about that story, you're not gonna like it.
All right, but let me just say publicly to Jason, rock star, very impressive.
I'm very proud of you.
Uh I didn't even think about you following up because I didn't think you were gonna follow up.
And not only that, instead of 10, how many times did you do the reps?
How many reps did you actually get in and all that?
Uh ended up doing twenty one.
So that two hundred and thirty bench pressing.
Yes.
For the record, we all said he could do it.
You were the only one who did not have any function.
Well, I wanted to see if he could because he gives me such a hard time about my.
No, I didn't just do the ways.
No, I didn't you think so little of it.
No, it's not I think a lot of money that I spend.
I think a lot of you as a person, but I did but you obviously I think what's really funny is that he did it.
Can you finish?
I think what was really Can you finish?
Yeah, I can.
Reclaiming my time.
Reclaiming my time.
If anybody knew know Sean, they know that's his famous line.
Can I finish?
Can I finish?
But in all seriousness, I think what's really funny is that the money that he used to make you know how he earned this money, he's gonna spend it all on beer and things that are gonna be bigger, which is actually really funny.
What do you do?
Do you know what you're gonna spend it on?
Do you have have you been talking about it in there while I'm actually working?
No.
I'm not sure yet.
I just got it.
All right.
Well, I paid well, I pay my no listen.
Do I pay my debts?
I made a bet.
I lost the bet.
And then and then some, and then I'm proud and I'm saying publicly I'm really proud of you, and I think it's amazing that you you did that.
Congratulations.
Well, thank you very much.
And I'm not going to be where you think I'm going to be this weekend.
So f so the money isn't going to be.
I mean where you usually are on the weekend.
Coyote Ugly.
Oh, where are you going next weekend?
Back to Coyote Ugly, obviously.
It's always a return.
Wait, are we this weekend I'm off from there?
What do you mean you're off from there?
Why do you take off from a weekend of your usual place?
What is that all about?
They're updating the polls.
Oh, that wait, that's cold.
It's closed.
There are no polls.
No polls.
For those that never saw the movie Coyote Ugly, it is a real bar with two locations in New York, and that's where for whatever reason Jason hangs out, which is why Jason is not married.
Because that's not the place you're gonna go.
If you wanted to get married.
First of all, if even if you're not gonna be a big thing And by the way, there's no naked people there's no naked people in there.
You can go there if you're married.
Every weekend?
I mean every weekend, really?
Every weekend.
They have a very good selection of beer.
Okay.
Every weekend.
I'm just saying.
Hell no, H2O.
I remember the movie.
The best edition of the devil went down to Georgia in the history of mankind is on that bar in that movie.
Um but that's one of their songs.
So now that you have an extra five hundred bucks, why wouldn't you go to the usual hangout?
I want to know.
Uh plans this weekend.
That don't include the bar.
Oh, you have plans this you have a date this weekend.
Yes.
Really?

Well, he picked her up on the bar last week.
You did you meet her at the bar, really?
Actually, I did.
Wow.
See, I told you.
Well, I said that's not where you would usually go if you wanted to.
That's if you wanted to get a girlfriend, that would not be the place.
That's where you meet you.
Am I right?
That's not the place you'd go to find a girlfriend, usually.
If you wanted to find a real steady, steady, serious girlfriend, you wouldn't go there first off, right?
Probably not.
Thank you.
Checkmate, but uh take or hold the mom type girl there.
Uh listen, I'm not saying anything about the people that go there.
All I'm saying is it wouldn't be the place you go if you want to buy.
But see now your soulmate.
He's gonna stay married because they met there.
So when he says, But honey, I met you there.
Let's go together.
This is a couple that'll stay together forever.
Okay, it's a great spin on your part.
It's uh it's a great, great, gotta find commonality.
Yeah, the commonality of of Coyote Ugly is really gonna work into your 70s.
I can see that happening.
A couple that's found our together stays together.
That's that's right.
Exactly.
Well, in all seriousness, I'm very proud of you.
You did a great job on the video.
Everybody can see it.
We put it up on Hannity.com, and Blair came in to watch me pay the money, and uh I counted it out.
All right, let's go back to our phones.
Oh, Nikki is in Austin, Texas.
Nikki, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
First time caller big.
Thank you.
Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
I uh I wanted to call and and uh add my voice to the Black Rifle Company coffee.
Um I will call I just did my third online order yesterday, and I turned on the radio and they were on the radio with you.
And I wanted to say that the reason I initially uh ordered coffee from them is because I wanted to support their endeavor.
And it's the best coffee, right?
Exactly.
The reason I continue and have have uh suggested that other people try it is this really good coffee.
It's good strong coffee, which you can't make a strong cup of coffee on a cure ever.
I I only like dark strong roast.
I as a matter of fact, the strongest possible roast ever.
Anyway, thanks, Nikki.
We appreciate it.
Uh let's say hi to Melissa, Sarasota, Florida.
What's up, Melissa?
How are you?
I'm great, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good.
Thank you.
Wonderful.
I'm calling because I am a guardian enlightenment in the state of Florida, which is a court-appointed child advocate.
And I don't see anybody connecting the dot with if you look at the fatherless home increase by decade, okay, since the 70s, and compare that to the mass shooting in schools increased by decade, it is almost identical.
And that is the root of the problem.
The breakdown of the nuclear family.
I sit in family court every week, and it's just absolutely horrendous what's what's going on.
It really is.
Mm-hmm.
Listen, I gotta tell you something.
It the what we have seen, there's no doubt about it.
Uh and I give this family that took this kid in all the credit in the world.
I don't know the nobody ever knows what's really going on in some some inside somebody's home.
They can speculate all you want.
And when I heard the parents say that they had no idea, I of course you believe them.
The only thing I might have taken issue with is that the firearms can't be available to any kid.
Um I could tell you, and uh, you know, in my house with my Liberty Safes, I could tell you where my firearms are, and you're never gonna get to them.
You'll n honestly, unless you bring like dynamite and blow up the safe.
And I don't even think you could blow it up.
And I'm just using that as an example.
That's how secure you want to keep firearms.
And you know, there is this natural curiosity sometimes that kids have as it relates to firearms.
And and that's the scary part.
And I'm not judging them.
I'm not saying they made a mistake.
I'm just saying that we've gotta understand, if you especially if you the kid got kicked out of school and the kid couldn't bring a backpack to school, and you know, the cops were there 39 times.
I don't think I would have let that kid have a gun.
That's my thinking.
And he was going to get psychiatric help.
So yeah, every single level in this case, uh the ball was dropped.
It's and it's so sad because it's so preventable.
Would there have been uh a warrant, a Pfizer warrant granted without the inclusion of the steel dossier?
Uh I think uh and the only testimony we have on this is that it was a part of the complete whole of the application and all the parts were important.
So I don't know that I can answer that except to say I think it was important.
Uh I'll also say this, though, there's been a lot made about the fact that some of the steel reporting at the time it was included was uncorroborated.
That's true of almost every warrant application.
If search warrant applications and criminal wiretap applications and Pfizer court applications could only rely on things that were proven and verified, you'd have very few of them.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Let me tell you everything we've got going on tonight on Hannity.
All right, so Nine Eastern, the great one, Mark Levin, rare appearance, he joins us tonight.
Sarah Carter, Tommy Larin, and Dan Mangino, Rhin's Previs also joins us.
Look, we've got stories on the Florida shooting.
Ken Starr is now saying Muller has gone way beyond his mandate.
We have literally no evidence of collusion.
While all this is happening, Putin is out there, you know, taunting America saying, Oh, my nukes can beat yours.
Then we've got an Oakland mayor that's out there literally saying, uh, hey, by the way, immigration is coming, and literally putting harm's way, people in harm's way.
So we'll get to that, and we are gonna go after the media in a massive way tonight and so much more.
So say your D VR Hannity tonight on the Fox News channel, nine Eastern.
We hope you'll join us, and we'll see you tonight at nine back here tomorrow.
