The liberal media is hitting President Trump hard for his congratulatory phone call today with Russian President Vladimir where the Russian leader recently "won" re-election. The liberal media says the President should not have given any credence to the victory because of questionable election results counting but the truth is, as Sean breaks down, the United States has been very tough under President Trump. If you don't think so, take a look at the revived US Coal Industry and what that's done to the Russian economy.

All right, glad you're with us.
A lot of news happening today.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza.
The Austin serial bomber blew himself up and he is dead.
Now there is some fear, I want to warn you among uh some in law enforcement.
By the way, shows how great, again, law enforcement is.
One of the SWAT team members, when this guy blew himself up in his car after he drove into a ditch, uh, one of the SWAT members approaching the car uh was hit with some of the shrapnel.
Now all reports are he's gonna be okay, but it shows you the current courage, the bravery, and uh the dedication to keeping our towns and our cities safe and secure, and uh we tip the our hat to the FBI to the Austin police and everybody in between.
Another opportunity to remind you when we talk about deep state actors like McCabe and Comey and Rosenstein and Struck and Paige and Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder and Susan Rice and Ben Rhodes and pretty much everybody that worked it for Obama and Clapper and Brennan.
We're not talking about rank and file.
We're being very specific.
Deep state actors abusing the powerful tools of intelligence, using the investigatory investory skills that they've been giving to do no good, and that means, you know, to put in fraudulent investigations, exonerate people without doing investigations,
rigging investigations, putting the fix in in investigations, a very different story, but the rank and file, men and women in the FBI and the Intel community that fight for us every day, protect us every day.
We we saw it all happen.
There is some fear, and we'll get to this later in the program, as the Austin police chief said earlier today, that they want people to be vigilant still because we don't know if this 24-year-old Anthony Condit, we now have his name, person responsible for the Boston serial bombing.
We don't know if there are any more explosives out there that he might have set up.
Uh so as we move forward, we just ask everyone to just proceed with caution in the area, but really a tip of the hat to good old-fashioned shoe leather uh deep dive uh police work that actually got us to this point.
There's also a concern you have to think about it.
No evidence yet, but you have to wonder, worry, be concerned about a possible accomplice in this case.
Uh Geraldo is on the ground in Austin, and he'll be joining us uh coming up later in the program today, so we'll get to that.
Um, you know, it's amazing how bad the media lies in this country.
It I you know, I um I know I say it every day.
I know that I play a lot of tapes that prove it every day.
The evidence is overwhelming, it's incontrovertible.
It's a uh there's so much out there.
There is no journalism.
Journalism is dead.
You know, ask yourself, look at, for example, the coverage of Stormy.
Stormy, stormy, stormy 24-7 stormy.
And I'm looking at it and I'm comparing it to, okay, Bill Clinton.
And Bill Clinton, oh, talk about a Me Too movement and talk about abuse of power movement.
I mean, he's the president, and you got a 21-year-old intern in the White House.
Uh, Yeah, she's above the age of consent.
I get it, but I doubt any parent that sent their kid to intern at the White House would expect what happened in the case of poor Monica Lewinsky.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
I never told anybody to lie.
Not a single time.
Never.
So I went back, we're doing a little digging.
Um, and I'm looking at, you know, the so-called cable news channels out there, CNN fake news, conspiracy theory TV, MSNBC, and I'm looking, okay, so there's a big difference.
What we're talking about here is a consensual relationship that may or may not have occurred twelve years ago.
Now, only up to recently, nobody had ever said a thing about any abuse of any kind by anybody, any place anywhere.
I mean, now we're doing lie detector tests, and that's big news on the cable channels.
But you know, how many of these very same people that were in the business at the time when Juanita Broderick came out and said she was raped by Bill Clinton.
Uh a lot of these same people weren't interested in covering her story.
A lot of the same people they didn't want to hear about Kathleen Willie's story of being groped and grabbed and fondled and touched and kissed against her will inside the Oval Office.
Nobody really wanted to hear her story either.
And these very same people that are, you know, feigning their moral outrage, as I say, over Stormy, uh, are the same.
They didn't reach out to Juanita Broderick and interview Juanita Broderick.
And this is not consensual.
That in that case it was rape.
In the case of Kathleen Willie, it was, you know, basically groping, grabbing, touching, fondling, kissing against her will.
And in the case of Paula Jones, it was exposing, dropping his pants, and exposing his penis.
That's the these are very different examples, as you can see.
And the same would go for whoever this playboy woman is, I don't know, whatever her name is.
And I'm thinking, I'm like, okay, so in these cases, we're talking about a consensual relationship.
In those cases, we're talking about a predator.
They're more interested in the consensual relationship, going back way, and I don't think anybody in America, everybody heard the Access Hollywood tape.
I don't think anybody, I'll quote Jerry Folwell Jr., anybody that voted for Donald Trump thought that they were voting for a pastor in chief.
And America definitely made a conscious decision that it wanted to elect somebody that was a disruptor, somebody that was outside the normal political channels, that they wanted a shakeup of the deep state,
a shakeup of the swamp and of the sewer, and that the issues of the economy and the issues that he ran on and border security and being tough and not giving 150 billion dollars to countries like Iran, where mullahs are saying and chanting death to America, that that was more important than some of the social issues that we might discuss.
And I'm not putting any moral judgment on it here.
But the same people that sat idly by Hillary Clinton never ever, ever said a word about the women, never had to answer the question about what she thought of Juanita Broderick and Kathleen Willie and Paula Jones.
And when you look at the coverage and you see that these networks never interviewed these women, but they're interested in a consensual relationship.
Well, that would be an abusively biased political agenda by the media.
And I'm I'm I'm not taking a stand right, wrong, and different here.
I don't know what happened.
But I will tell you this the double standards thinks to high heaven, and it's quite typical.
And that's what we get every day.
And that's why when I declared journalism in America is dead, it is dead.
And we we've done more investigative reporting in the last year on this show, I would tell you, by exposing warrant abuse, surveillance abuse, FISA abuse, and abuse of power on so many.
We found that Hillary, we Found the exact laws she broke when she mishandled and destroyed classified information and obstructing justice by deleting emails and destroying and acid washing hard drives and breaking up devices with hammers.
Those are all crimes that would put every one of you in jail.
They never covered that in the last two years.
They never covered that in the lead up to the election.
We did.
They never covered this this whole cover-up and the rigging of an investigation that included Comey and McCabe and Strzok and Page and we've all we we're just barely touching the surface of the evidence here.
They never touched the whole issue.
You know, they're so concerned about foreign nationals influencing American elections, unless the foreign national happens to have the name Christopher Steele and his contacts are the Russian government and people in Russia, and that even though he put together a dossier full of lies, that doesn't seem to bother the media one bit that Hillary, who fixed the primary election with Bernie Sanders, which also doesn't bother them, and tried to pa use the Russian lies to fix the general election.
You know, that doesn't seem to bother anybody either, nor the fact that that phony dossier full of lies was purposely presented by some top deep state actors in the FBI and the Department of Justice.
They knew Hillary paid for it.
They knew it was bought and paid for.
We didn't know till you know just a couple of months ago because fusion GPS wouldn't tell us for a long time.
Now we found out.
Yeah, it was in fact it came from the Hillary campaign and the DNC whose money she was controlling.
And what do we learned?
That they presented it to a Pfizer court.
What's the Pfizer court for?
Well, that's to say to get a warrant to spy on Americans.
The the bar, the standard is set pur perfectly high for a reason.
Because you can't have your government using the all-powerful tools of intelligence against the American people without violating the Constitution and our Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure.
So the bar, the standard is high, and it's usually involved foreign actors.
Just like the bar is high when it comes to listening in on phone calls, even if it's foreign actors, if an American is on the phone, then there are very strict laws and rules and protocols that have to be followed, but they weren't followed in the case of General Flynn.
In other words, you have to minimize what the American is saying.
You don't even write down in your report as standard operating procedure through minimization.
You call that person even if you can identify them, you don't unmass them.
You call them an American, and then of course that wasn't happening, and then you don't unmask the names of the people that were caught caught up in incidental surveillance.
That's what they did with Michael Flynn.
And then you certainly don't leak raw intelligence and use that as a perjury trap foundation against any American.
That's an abuse of power.
That's why I call this the biggest abuse of power investigation ever.
You know, I'm watching the coverage of the media.
You know, do you know that if you go back to the last election of Vladimir Putin, I have, oh, I have a headline.
Obama congratulates Putin for election win.
That's the same Obama that was warned by Devin Nunes early in 2014 that the Russians wanted to wreak havoc in the 2016 elections.
He was warned.
But then again, just prior to the election, well, he was saying to Donald Trump, stop whining.
No serious person believes that anybody, especially Russia could ever, you know, influence our elections.
And it was only until he thought at that point that Hillary was going to win.
He didn't think that Donald Trump had a shot of winning.
You know, it's like the same guy that, you know, sitting there with, you know, Putin's uh uh, you know, third in charge, and he's saying, tell Vladimir, tell Vladimir that I'll have more flexibility after the election.
The only person that has disrupted the economy of of Russia is Donald Trump.
What do you think energy independence is all about?
The lifeblood of Russia's economy is energy.
And frankly, the energy is the fact that we are now producing and we're gonna drill an AMWAR and we've got these two pipelines, and he has revitalized single-handedly with executive orders, the coal industry in America, and fracking and natural gas production.
Do you realize that Putin's economy is About to collapse.
That's Donald Trump's fault.
You can blame him for that.
And Donald Trump, who imposed new sanctions on not only Russia, but organizations, individuals tied to the malicious cyber attacks against the U.S., and Obama never did a thing except hit his little pretty little reset button with Hillary's counterpart and talk about a Russian reset and talk about I'll have more flexibility after the election, after the election.
Tell Vladimir.
I tell Vladimir, I tell him, I tell him.
Everything is like upside down.
It's really the most bizarre time you're ever going to live in in your life.
What you hear, what you read, what you see is not the truth.
And what is the truth is slowly being revealed.
You know, what did I mean when I came back from my big two-week vacation every year?
I mean, it's kind of pathetic.
I guess got to say one thing about these vacations.
I'm listening to my staff last night.
They're going to the Caribbean.
They're going to uh uh Europe.
One somebody, where did you go on your vacation or wherever you're talking about?
Hawaii.
You used my condo in Naples once, so that's about as big a vacation as you've had.
But you bought your new house this year, so your vacation is at home, right?
Yeah, that's it.
It's a staycation.
Thanks.
You know, and with Jason is happy at Coyote or Lake.
Exotic.
Very exotic on Coyote Ugly.
And but the thing is, I'm listening to these people, they're going here.
I'm like, who has time for these vacations?
I don't have time for these vacations.
Anyway, but everything, when I came back, I said it's the year of the boomerang.
Well, what did I mean?
Well, it wasn't Trump Russia collusion.
It was Hillary paying for Russian and Russian government lies to manipulate the American voter.
Well, wait a minute.
That's upside down.
That's inside out.
That the black is white, white is black, red is purple, and purple is red.
I mean, none of this, everything that they thought, they never ever thought Trump would win.
They never thought they would be exposed.
You know, you got literally, and I'll play this later in the program, guys like Brennan, the former communist for crying out loud.
He is lashing out with dripping hatred and anger in the hopes that the deep state can rebound and somehow finish the job of total delegitimization of Donald Trump and undo a duly elected president.
You know, I've talked about the five forces against this president.
Okay, we know we've got Democrats again.
We know we got the media again.
We know we got weak Republicans against them, John McCain.
John McCain never misses an opportunity to be against Donald Trump.
Uh healthcare would have been gone but for uh John McCain coming back and oh, I hate Donald Trump.
Let me do this to Donald Trump, uh, even though he had promised to repeal and replace for and all these forces and the deep state.
And I've been right all along.
And this Inspector General report is gonna prove about Hillary's email, about the laws broken, about the fix being in, about her literally paying for Russian lies.
She did it, and to manipulate the American voters, then lying to Pfizer judges, spying on opposition party candidates, and covering the whole mess up.
The biggest abuse of power, corruption, scandal in American history.
One Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza and be a part of this program.
Alan Dershowitz, um, I gotta tell you something.
His commentary throughout all of this has been brilliant and and spectacular.
And years ago, he and I had had a couple of run-ins together.
You know, it's just in the course it was political more than anything else.
And uh I've I've been watching.
He goes on Twitter and he fights people like Lawrence Tribe.
Now you've got to understand these are people that have all argued before the U.S. Supreme Court numerous times, and he just tears him up.
I mean, it's it's actually uh uh it's almost art in the making it so good what he's been doing on Twitter.
Anyway, he's uh one of the most respected legal minds in the country.
Uh he's actually on Hannity tonight, as a matter of fact, he's a longtime Democrat.
And he served as part of Bill Clinton's impeachment defense team, and he is now calling on the special counsel, Robert Mueller to suspend this Russia gate witch hunt.
And in an op-ed that he put out in the hill today, Dershowitz is saying that Mueller's probe has left the American people confused and divided and has caused them to lose faith in the FBI and the Justice Department.
That's all true.
That is a hundred percent true.
And that's sad.
No president has had to go through this in the first year of office.
Nobody's had anything thrown at him the way Donald Trump has been thrown at it's been thrown at him.
I don't think most politicians could stand up to this, to be perfectly blunt with you.
You know, a lot of people ask me in my life, well, Hannity, uh, how do you my friends ask me, how do you deal with all these horrible things people are saying about you?
And I look at them like, like, what?
What do you mean?
You didn't see this?
You didn't see this article, you didn't see this.
Well, you know, sweet baby James, who hands me the biggest stack of papers every day that you've ever seen.
It's like I read a book before I do the show every day.
I read a book a day.
Uh it's that it's that amount of research that you do, and I become a fast reader, and it's where my area of interest is.
If I was not working, I'd be doing it anyway, because it's where my passion is.
I mean, if you're Howard Stern, you you care about celebrities and you care about TV shows and you care about sex and you care about sex and you care about sex and you know I'm I'm joking.
You get the point.
But I care, I love politics.
I love I love the country.
I love I I believe in in principles that can fix the country.
I mean, as a guy that came from, you know, no money and then having had some level of success in my life, I I want that for everybody.
I know that America, without a strong America, the country is screwed.
Absolutely screwed.
You know, I had this fight uh with this guy in in New Zealand the other night where I'm we have a long phone call, and he's telling me that I'm uh we're we're arguing about America's involvement in certain conflicts and wars.
Now we have made mistakes.
Not gonna say there's no such thing as a perfect person, all have sinned and all have fallen short.
There's no such thing as a perfect country.
And I was saying, whoa, imagine the world without the United States of America.
No country ever in the history of mankind has accumulated more power and abused it less than this country.
No country ever has accumulated more power and used it to advance the human condition for good than this country.
You know, all those Americans that slammed the beaches of Normandy, I think back to my days, Marty, remember that Marty?
He was one of them.
Used to be a longtime caller of the show.
He passed away a number of years ago.
I mean, we only asked for a place to bury our dead.
We're not invading forces.
And we can't be the world's policeman.
I'll be the first to tell you that.
And it's sad that we don't even fight wars the way they need to be fought anymore.
We fight them.
We we have rules of engagement, and meanwhile, the enemy is firing their weapons at us from hospitals and and daycare centers and schools.
It's unbel it's unbelievable.
Anyway, so and I've just go on and on, and I'm like, yeah, we're not perfect, but but God help this world if we're not in this.
And if the world, if it's to be successful, we need a strong United States.
All of this is that we we have dealt with in the last however many years now, all this anti-Trump deep state garbage.
All it's done is prevented America on some level of achieving even more.
And what Trump has been able to achieve is pretty spectacular, and I'm not sure a lot of people could compartmentalize the way he does, and the fact that he lashes out once in a while because he's pissed and he's tired and he sees the injustice of it all, uh, and the fact that you know he's getting lectures from Trey Gouty.
Well, act like you're innocent.
Well, the way you act like you're innocent is to say, I didn't do it.
That's how most people react to that if you're innocent.
But, you know, oh, sorry, he's not acting perfect control.
He's never gonna act the way you want him to act.
He's not like your typical president.
And he wasn't elected to be a typical president that acted in typical ways.
He is he is a disruptor and an iconoclast, and the American people, in their wisdom in a lot of ways, knew exactly what they were doing because they know that that political class in that sewer in that in That swamp in DC is so fundamentally broken and corrupt.
So they brought in an outsider.
The amazing thing is, okay, got the tax cuts done.
We're now on a path to energy independence.
Uh, yeah, let's see, uh the the dictator in North Korea, Rocket Man now has been literally shut off financially, so he wants to meet with us.
I don't know what's going to come of it, but that's certainly better than doing what Clinton did.
I'm gonna give you all these billions and energy subsidies.
I just ask you to be a nice person and don't build nuclear weapons.
And this is a good deal of American people.
Yeah, good deal, bribing dictators and kissing their ass.
A really good deal.
Just like kissing the ass of mullahs that hate us with 150 billion dollars of taxpayer money.
I mean, unless unless Donald Trump grovels to dictators, he's never gonna be like by the left.
Anyway, so back to, you know, I I don't care what people say about me.
I don't care.
There are these people that are obsessed that can't write an article without mentioning my name.
And I go through the pile, you know, and there's a Hannity Hannity Hannity haters, I think is what it says every day.
And I look at it, all right, typical, typical, typical, typical, typical, typical, throw it out.
And then I move on to the more important issues of the day.
So, you know, this is where the country is, and this is where exactly where the left wants it.
They want to sow chaos and discord, and they don't want Trump to uh to to get his agenda through, and they still would go back to the failed date years of Obama that they never recognize because they don't do their job.
And Dershowitz is right in saying this.
He has his op-ed in the pill in the hill today, and Dershaw would say Muller's probe has left the American people confused, divided, and caused them to lose faith in the FBI and the Department of Justice.
By the way, I don't want Americans to lose faith in the FBI.
Just look at what they did down in Austin.
Just because you have a few higher upper echelon deep state actors, you know, you got your clappers, your Brennan's, you got your Comeys, you got your McCabe's, you got your Rosenstein's, you got your struck, you got your pages, you got your Loretta Lynch's.
That does not represent the rank and file of law enforcement or in the intelligence community.
We made that distinction repeatedly, and it bears repeating again, again, and again, because those, you know, people are risking their lives every day for us.
And by the way, if you care about risking the lives of people in the Intel community, maybe you wouldn't put top secret private, confidential special access program information on a mom and pop server uh in a in a bathroom closet and have intelligence agencies from all over the world hack into Hillary's system and steal all of it.
You know, somebody said to me, Well, where did WikiLeaks get it?
I said, I don't know.
I have no clue.
I have no idea.
He at least they know where they got it, but we probably can safely assume Russia hacked into Hillary system, and we could safely assume China did, and we could probably safely assume Iran did, and North Korea did, and just pick any other rest of the countries and that hate us, and you're probably right.
So I guess it could have been from any of those sources.
Now, some people in the Intel community swear it's Russia.
I'm like, fine, Russia.
Whoever trusted Putin.
Nobody.
He was the same guy that in 2009 had an operatives on the ground in America.
And we had an inside FBI informant.
And ironically, Robert Muller was the was the FBI director.
We didn't do anything there, and and Putin's network bribed their way, scheme their way, uh, blackmailed their way, extorted their way, you know, through getting 20% of America's uranium.
I mean while we import 90% of our uranium.
Anyway, President Trump is right, Dershowitz says, in saying the special counsel should never have been appointed to investigate so-called a Russia connection or collusion.
There was no evidence of any crime committed by the administration.
This is the important part.
Dershowitz will tell us tonight.
The appointment of a special counsel has done more harm than good.
It has politicized our justice system beyond repair.
The FBI deputy director's been fired for leaking and lying under oath.
His testimony appears to be in conflict with the former FBI director, he's talking about Comey as to whether leaks were authorized.
Messages by high-ranking FBI agents, struck and page suggest a strong bias against Trump.
And in the case of Struck, he's involved in everything from Michael Flynn to writing the exoneration before investigation, you know, and and interviewing even Hillary Clinton.
Anyway, and then he goes on to say that a tweet by a former CIA director reveals equally strong negative views of the president.
That's Brennan.
You can add Clapper to that mix.
And he writes, you know, now 75% of the American people think the deep state has an agenda separate and apart from what real, a real Democratic Republic should look like.
And Dershowitz goes on, the public has lost faith in the leadership of the Justice Department That's true.
They don't trust congressional investigative committees.
Because you got people like Schiffless Schiff out there lying on a regular basis.
They don't know whom to believe when they hear conflicting accounts.
They're a leaks galore.
Look at the leak last night.
Donald Trump talks to Putin and it's leaked within minutes, minutes.
Who leaked that information?
Who did that yesterday?
When it first happened, I wrote an attorney friend of mine.
I said, This can't happen anymore.
Anyway, and then he goes on to say they don't know who to believe.
Leaks galore.
a total mess.
Dershowitz suggests it's not too late to try and repair some of the damage done.
Let Congress now appoint a nonpartisan commission.
Can Conduct a transparent investigation of Russians, Russia's efforts to influence our elections.
Let the special counsel suspend his investigation until the nonpartisan convict commission issues a report.
If the report identifies crimes and criminals, well, there'll be time enough to indict and prosecute.
Right now we need nonpartisan truth that I listen.
That's never gonna happen.
Not in this environment.
Not with Comey, not with Mueller, not with Weissman, and not with this team of deep state power abusing, you know, fanatics that want to hate Trump at every turn.
You know, we're doing this deep dive.
We got Sarah Carter and David Schoen coming up later in the program today.
You know, into, you know, who is the, you know, we know about deep state James Comey.
You know, we know about other corrupt government officials.
They all should be worried.
I would say McCabe's gonna probably end up being charged.
So will Comey.
That's why Comey and his book tour is laughable.
He added Rachel Maddout to the list of powerful interviewers that he's gonna go on their shows.
All right, Politico's reporting that Bob Goodlat, he wants the 1.2 million documents that the Inspector General Horowitz has that is leading up to his report that's coming out, hopefully shortly.
The DOJ's been stonewalling congressional oversight every single step of the way.
Why is that?
Why doesn't Rosenstein and the DOJ want us to see stuff?
Rosenstein, who signed off on the Pfizer renewal at least once, maybe twice.
And we already know the fix was in.
We know Comey and McCabe and Struck and Page and others.
We know that they gave Hillary a pass when she broke laws.
Obvious laws were broken.
Rosenstein's the guy who went begging to Paul Ryan, oh, don't let the American people see the truth about the Pfizer abuses.
Why?
What is Rod Rosenstein the frigate?
He's the guy that approved Pfizer based on a phony Clinton paid for dossier.
And then he appointed Mueller.
He has a conflict of interest.
He's rotten to the core, too.
And he's tied into all of this.
You know, massive conflicts of interest.
And I have no idea we need a special sec a second special counsel.
That's the only thing that's going to fix this.
Because you can't have the DOJ and FBI investigating themselves.
You just can't.
You know, you've got uh now Kevin McCarthy, Steve Khalis, they've joined in along with everybody else saying we need a second special counsel.
You know, I think these guys are right on.
Robert Muller, BFF, James Comey.
Look at the story we told you yesterday about Robert Mueller, the man above reproach.
Really?
He's involved in the Whitey Bulger case.
He put four innocent people in jail.
He's involved in that case where four innocent men went to jail.
The judge ended up after two of them rotted and died in jail.
The two others got out and they got a hundred-plus million dollar award from a judge because they were unlawfully prosecuted and were innocent.
And exculpatory evidence withheld.
No wonder why he likes Andrew Weissman.
He's just like him.
We're told Robert Mueller is a man beyond reproach.
Impeccable credentials.
Above the fresh.
Yeah, nobody can criticize him, really.
Yeah, we're doing a full week investigation on him.
He's not that impressive.
We found uh information that nobody else in the media is going to tell you about Robert Mueller.
Just facts, truth, information.
We'll do our deep dive with Sarah Carter and David Schoen coming up.
We'll head to uh Austin now that this uh serial bomber blew himself up, Haraldo Rivera's on the ground, that's coming up.
At this point, uh, especially in terms of its place in the world, is this president letting our country down?
Well, I think the president has shown a lack of understanding of international affairs as well as a real um ignorance of uh what it takes to be president of the United States, and that's what prompted my tweets.
Uh he is uh uh mean spirited, um, he is dishonest, he has shown a lack of integrity, and uh he has uh continued to, I think, to be in the office of the presidency.
And so I've decided to uh put my silence aside and to speak up and speak out uh because I do think our future is in jeopardy.
Um, while Mr. Trump uh continues uh his uh antics.
Why won't the president confront Vladimir Putin?
Why won't he read the cards and say the things that you say need to be said to Vladimir Putin?
Do you believe he's somehow in debt to the president of Russia?
I think he's afraid of the president of Russia.
Why?
Um well, I think one can speculate as to why uh that the Russians may have something on him personally, uh, that they could always roll out and make his life more difficult.
Uh clearly I think it's important for us to be able to improve relations with Russia.
But the fact that he has has had this fawning attitude toward Mr. Putin has not said anything negative about him.
Uh, I think he continues to r you know say to me that he does have something to fear, and something very serious to fear.
You believe Russia has something on him.
I I believe that the Russians would uh would not um um they would opt for things uh to do if they believed that it was in their interest, and the Russians I think have had long experience with with Mr. Trump and uh may have things that uh they could uh expose.
Something personal, perhaps?
Perhaps perhaps.
What might happen, especially given these latest tweets where he's really pushing back, and he's pushing uh back against Mueller by name.
Well, I think you have uh concerns on the international front as well as on the domestic front.
On the international front, I'm hoping we're not going to see a wag the dog scenario whereby he's going to try to distract uh the uh tension here domestically and politically on him and uh engage in some type of international uh initiative that is going to really put our our nation at risk.
Military action against North Korea, maybe doing something vis-a-vis Iran, again, tearing up the Iranian nuclear agreement and provoking and pushing for some type of confrontation in the Gulf.
Uh on the domestic front, if he sacks uh Rod Rosenstein or uh Bob Mueller, I think that really is going to uh bring this country uh to the brink of crisis.
Uh and that's when I think the members of Congress, particularly Republicans in Congress, uh, are going to step up and do what is necessary in order to protect this country.
All right, hour two of the Sean Hannity show, right down on our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, deep state actor himself, John Brennan, Obama's former CIA director, uh former communist, apparently, got to be the head of the deep state, the head of the CIA.
Ultimately, what we learn about Clapper and Brennan is going to be a of most interest to me, as they have in their in their possession, had in their possession the most powerful tools of intelligence on the face of the earth.
And it's fascinating to me to listen to him, you know, talk about the serious threat that is Russia.
There might be something compromising on Russia and uh as it relates to Donald Trump.
Well, it wasn't Donald Trump that put the sanctions on Russia.
It's not Donald Trump that is cutting away at the lifeblood of the Russian economy, which is energy, by making America energy independent.
Uh the person it that was warned about the 2016 election in 2014 about Russian influence in the elections.
Well, that that would have been Barack Obama.
And remember, just before the election, just what a week or two before the election in in 2016, it was Obama telling Trump to stop whining that no serious person could ever believe or even think at the idea that the Russians can somehow influence our elections.
There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even you could even rig America's elections.
No serious person.
Stop whining, he goes on to say.
And there was Russian interference in the election.
And actually, a lot of it was bought and paid for by the person that John Brennan was supporting.
And that is Hillary Clinton.
And it was under his watch that people like Comey and Struck and Page and McCabe and others were all involved in fixing and rigging an investigation into Hillary Clinton for the felonies that we know she created.
And he cares about being on the verge of a constitutional crisis.
Anyway, 800 941 Shawn is our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
We continue our investigation both uh today and tonight as it relates to who is Robert Mueller, the man that everybody tells us is beyond reproach and of the utmost integrity, and and oh Donald Trump fires him, it'll be a disaster in the country.
Well, number one, Donald Trump is not firing him, never suggested he was going to fire him in any way, shape, matter, or form.
This is all media hysteria and spin.
Sarah Carter is with us, investigative reporter, Fox News contributor, David Schoen, civil rights criminal defense attorney.
Uh Sarah, yesterday on the program, we did a pretty big deep dive into Robert Mueller and his time in Boston, and how in fact the FBI had a deal with the notorious criminal and murderer, Whitey Bulger.
And in fact, uh Mueller was responsible, just like Andrew Weissman for withholding exculpatory evidence in a case.
Four innocent people went to jail, two died in prison.
Ultimately, the judge awarded over a hundred million dollars uh because of of Muller holding back the evidence in that case, uh, but yet he's a man beyond reproach, we're told.
This is why it is so important for the public to understand who Mueller really is.
Because if you just go by statements made by lawmakers, um, you know, but on both sides of the aisle, both Republicans and Democrats, uh as well as others who uh allowed Mueller, you'll never know the truth about what happened in Muller, you know, in Mueller's past cases,
or Andrew Weisman's past cases, or the you know, thirteen people that are sitting on the special counsel who have been very uh I guess adamant about their about their uh stance with with the Democratic Party, making donations to the Democratic Party and uh and seeing a lot of of conflicts of interest with these folks.
But also, where is this investigation going in the future?
That's what we've got to look at here, Sean.
We can't understand where the special counsel investigation is going if we don't understand the past.
And if you look at the past, Mueller, Comey, who he was friends with, I mean, there's a huge longtime friend with there's a there's a conflict of interest right there.
Weissman, who's on the special counsel, they've had some pretty serious problems in the past.
And David Schoen brought it up very well in the show last night when he spoke about you know both of them being involved in two of the biggest um problems uh with the FBI in their history.
The two biggest cases that were that were bungled.
And and let's go a little bit further.
Uh even the anthrax case was a potential problem for Mueller.
So we have a right to question.
Now, granted, Mueller, there are many things about him that people can commend.
His service in the military as a Marine, he was awarded the bronze star, of course.
But that doesn't take away from the fact from the fact that there were cases in the past that were very questionable, things that they did that were very questionable that should raise the concern of the president and his counsel, and they should be able to defend themselves publicly.
Is it are there things in the past that are beyond troubling?
In other words, uh David, if you're talking about two of the biggest bungled cases in history, I mean, I'm looking all over this Whitey Bulger case and this, you know, immunity deal for Whitey Bulger while he's committing more murders, and then of course, four innocent people go to jail, and and then of course it's overturned and a hundred million plus dollar Judgment in that case.
Well, that sounds a lot like Andrew Weissman.
It's always been puzzling to me why he picked Andrew Weissman in the first place.
Yes, well, that that latter question has a lot of answers, I think, as you know, but as to the question of whether it's more than troubling, it absolutely is.
Listen, Sarah's written a definitive piece on this, and now it's being fleshed out even more thanks to her research.
But they um what's more than troubling about it is people died, people were killed under the supervision of uh these two men.
And what I mean that very directly.
Um I'm not playing games here.
Uh Muller was the supervising uh U.S. attorney over this agent John Connolly.
John Connolly is in prison for murder.
He was complicit in the murder with his informants.
He passed information informants.
Andrew Weissman was an assistant U.S. attorney in charge of uh top echelon informant and the FBI agent Lynn DeVecchio who handled him.
People were killed.
Innocent people were killed.
A 17-year-old boy, Patrick Porco, was killed because of information that was uh passed between them.
So these two presided over that.
So it's either they knew and something horribly, horribly wrong uh happened, or it's a question of malfeasance, and people died either way, and people who were wrongly convicted remain in prison today.
So, yes, that's more than troubling to me.
And I'd say to Mr. Muller, quite frankly, with all due respect, when he says what happened back then happened a long time ago, not for the families, not for the families of the 17-year-old boy who was killed, not for the people still lingering in prison.
You know, I I I listen to all this and I'm researching this, and I said this to you last night on TV to both of you.
I I cannot believe all this time nobody has taken the the time to do the deep dive into Mueller.
I mean, we knew he was the FBI director.
We knew Obama wanted him two more years beyond his ten year term, and uh we know that quote, he's a Republican.
That's what we keep hearing.
He's a Republican, but he certainly seems to be after Donald Trump because if he wanted to have any semblance of fairness and not have an appearance of impropriety and bias, then he would never have assembled the team that he assembled, Sarah Carter.
Uh yeah, absolutely.
And we have to look at this case by case.
I mean, I I just want to go back to a couple of things, and I think the Whitey Bulger case is really quite extraordinary and and important.
But I let's just look at the anthrax case too.
That was it, that was a case where Mueller worked hand in hand with with Comey in this, and it was a completely bungled case.
And it was probably one of the biggest cases at that time that those two ever handled.
And we saw that they, you know, they botched the investigation.
It was in 2001, uh, into the letter attacks.
I mean, that five people died.
You know, uh, I think 17 or 18 people were infected, you know, with the anthrax, and they started chasing down the wrong man.
They chased down the wrong guy and missed the right guy.
I mean, and this was one of the biggest cases.
You know, there was a lot of pressure coming down on them.
It showed that they kind of bent into pressure, they bent towards that pressure, and they went after, you know, an innocent man, Stephen Hatville, and you know, when when all the evidence, you know, if they would have been following it the right way, would have pointed to this other guy at Fort Dietrich.
There are questions here that we have to ask.
And Sean, I keep going over this again and again.
The the fact that this case, that the special counsel was brought against the president based on erroneous information, based on a flimsy foundation, based on lies, disinformation from the Russians for a dossier that was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign, uh and the DNC should raise questions about where this special counsel is going.
Stay right there, Sarah.
I'm committed.
Why are we going in that direction?
Take a quick break more with David Schoen, more with Sarah Carter, 800-941 Sean or Tollfree telephone numbers.
Our investigation into the investigators, starting with Robert Muller, continues something nobody in the media is touching.
And as we continue our investigation into the investigators uh led by Robert Muller, which every well, he's beyond the reproach.
Well, no, his background and his history is showing just the opposite.
We it's but we're now beginning to fill in a uh a gap, at least in my mind.
I never understood why he put together this merry band of Obama Clinton and DNC donors, and no Trump donors, no Republicans.
But we're told he's a Republican.
Well, okay, he worked under Obama and he was also there for the Uranium One deal, and he got an informant inside of Putin's network and did nothing.
We continue with Sarah Carter and David Schoen.
Sarah A. Carter.com, Her articles about this are pretty stunning and revealing when you take a look at them.
This is personal for you.
You know a lot of people, David, in Boston, and a lot of people in Boston are scratching their heads saying him.
Right.
Uh I mean, I I I ironically I have another connection that is that I was opposed to represent Whitey Bulger after he was convicted, but I declined that.
But um the uh that that's I ask you why did you why did you decline that?
I think it was on the lamb for what, like eighteen years, sixteen years or something.
Right.
After he was convicted pretty quickly.
Um he had a couple of issues on appeal, but uh decided it wasn't for me for a couple of reasons, including that the court wouldn't appoint him after I was out of the area.
But in any event, um it was an interesting case.
But uh there are a number of reasons people in Boston were upset, but I want to get back to something that you raised uh just a few moments ago, and you asked, isn't it puzzling that people haven't complained about uh uh we haven't done a deep dive as you say into Mr. Muller?
And then Sarah raised a great point.
She gave the example of the anthrax case.
I'll tell you what I think that really highlights.
You know, the expression politics makes strange bedfellows, really in the ultimate uh here.
What do I mean by that?
Well, back in the day, uh 9-11 time or the anthrax case or other examples, um, civil libertarians were criticizing Mr. Muller left and right, that he supported torture for a variety of reasons.
We can go into in detail if and when we need to.
How on earth is it that those same people today lionized him as a hero, as if the principles that they purportedly were standing on in and cherished in criticizing him originally simply didn't matter.
And I suggest to you that the answer is a very sad one.
It's that this pure unadulterated hatred of the president, anger at the election results, seems to simply trump no pun intended uh principle in these cases.
How can that be?
What does it say about these civil libertarians?
Um many of whom are close friends of mine.
Yeah, all right.
Well, I'm gonna have to let you go.
Uh we'll have both of you on Hannity tonight.
We're gonna continue this deep dive.
We'll do the job of the media that they're not going to do.
Uh great work, Sarah A. Carter.com, Hannity.com for the articles that she's doing on the investigation into Robert Muller.
And uh David Schoen, thank you.
We'll see you again as well.
When we come back, Geraldo Rivera, he is on the ground.
He is in Austin.
We'll get an update on that case where the Austin Austin serial bomber blew himself up this morning.
There's fear of more potential explosives, and is there an accomplice?
That's coming up next on the Sean Hannity show.
As members of the Austin police department SWAT team approached the vehicle.
The suspect detonated a bomb inside the vehicle, knocking one of our SWAT officers back, and one of our SWAT officers fired at the suspect as well.
The suspect is deceased uh and has significant injuries from a blast that occurred from detonating a bomb inside his vehicle.
We cannot name the suspect at this time because he has not been positively identified yet by the medical examiner, and next of kin have not yet been notified.
So there will be a lengthy investigation that will take place regarding the officer involved shooting.
We don't know where this suspect has spent his last 24 hours, and therefore we still need to remain vigilant to ensure that no other packages or devices have been left through the community.
So as we go through the day today, we want the community to remain vigilant, but I also want to look at where we are now in Round Rock and remind our neighboring communities of Round Rock and Cedar Park and the other cities that we do not know where he has been in the past twenty-four hours, and you're we need your communities to remain vigilant as well.
All right, that's Brian Manley, the Austin police chief telling the press that this Austin serial bomber had in fact blew himself up, is now dead.
We have since identified the individual as Mark A. Condant, and uh he is a serial bomber, apparently killed himself earlier today as authorities were closing in on him.
And anyway, neighbors of the 23-year-old, apparently a homeschool kid growing up, went to Austin Community College, was struggling to wrap their arms around and their minds around what the heck went on here.
Uh I know this is a cliche, but I just can't imagine that he did this, said one neighbor, and police have said that Condit, 24, uh although some public re records indicate 23, received a degree from Austin Community College's Northridge campus and had worked at Crust uh Crux Semiconductor in Austin as a purchasing agent, buyer, and a shipper and doing shipping and receiving.
And uh according to a profile on a job recruiting website, he had previously worked as a computer repair technician, very few public social media posts under his name.
Haraldo Rivera was uh amazing last night.
He was down on the ground for us in Austin, giving us up to the minute reports, and as we went on the air last night, there were had been a report that in fact two more bombs after two earlier in the day, uh, were found at uh a local goodwill shop, and it turned out that they were from this particular individual, right, Haraldo?
How are you?
Thank you for last night.
Uh, thank you, brother.
Uh it turned out that the goodwill explosion was not related.
Remember, we went through uh a a torture process whereby the Austin police said announced that it was unrelated.
Uh it was an incendiary device rather than an explosive, something uh designed to set fire rather than to blow up.
And uh again, unrelated.
So I announced that on your show.
We did a bulletin toward the top of the show, but then the attorney general of the state of Texas came on, another guest he had booked, and he said, No, the explosion is related.
Then he had to retract that a half hour later.
So uh to make a long story short, the goodwill bombing uh, which does seem a criminal uh event, or certainly criminal negligence, if somebody actually deposited uh in the donation bin uh uh World War II ammunition is what uh I guess it was.
Uh, you know, how stupid can you be?
Uh or how di uh diabolical can you be, but unrelated to Mark a Condit.
Condit, a few hours after you went off the air last night, uh, you know, tracked by the cops from the uh Red Roof Inn, uh, then uh blows himself up after driving his vehicle into a ditch uh as the SWAT team approached him.
But it does appear, and I think that this is what's important, Sean, is that this guy, it does I was talking to a Marine who was with me in Afghanistan in two thousand and four, an explosives expert.
He said, full stopper, although this guy had the education and the obviously the motivation to go on the internet and learn how to build the bomb to to be the homeschooled kid to really put together enough knowledge where he could then know what component parts to put together.
He was sophisticated enough to go to gun shows, buy ammunition, uh take the ammunition apart, dissect the the ammo, take the gunpowder from the bullets and use that as his as his explosive, then also from the internet, buy batteries to provide the electrical jolt to to detonate the explosion.
Uh, you know, uh exotic batteries, not Duracell, but uh, you know, something uh far more sophisticated than that.
And then for whatever his manifesto will be, whatever his reasoning, whatever uh the chip on his shoulder is, we'll figure out.
But uh the bottom line is that it really does seem that this twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old uh kid uh from uh I'm in his neighborhood right now.
I'm here, I'm just uh half a block from his home in Pflugerville right now.
It does appear as if this kid uh did this on his own, had the capability of doing it on his own, is not a GI or XGI, is not up terrorist in the classic sense, but certainly terrorized the capital city of uh I want to go back though.
Uh I want to go back to the availability on the internet and and look, we make our our living using our first amendment rights.
Uh uh I'm somebody that believes I I've interviewed crazy people uh my entire career at different points and different times.
You know, I I've interviewed these neo-Nazi jerks, which I and you've interviewed him too.
I've interviewed a guy like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed many years ago who talked about killing everybody that's white that's in sight, killing women and and babies and children, kill them all.
I interviewed him once for three hours in a radio studio in Huntsville, Alabama.
So we believe in free speech, but when I go on the internet, and I know you have talked about this as well, and you could actually buy, there's a Netflix special about this book with the author of this book called the Anarchist Cookbook.
In the book, it gives you step-by-step instructions on how to build bombs.
And even from the publication of the Anarchist Cookbook, because of various uh, you know, moves to declassify this information.
Now the information is even more sophisticated than that.
It's obvious that he followed this internet roadmap uh to a sufficient degree that he could build a bomb that didn't blow up in his face until he triggered it, uh, that he could first place the bombs on the doorsteps.
I don't know how he chose the home that he did, then wire another one with the tripwire for uh joggers or pedestrians uh that wounded the other two guys, the two white guys that made it clear that it wasn't a racial uh incident, and then go to FedEx and leave the uh boxes at FedEx, one of them did explode on the conveyor, but it sh it certainly shows the level of sophistication uh and and the peril that you so clearly lay out, Sean.
I think that uh fasten your seat belts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
Every jerk in the in the Western world with uh uh with uh half uh education and the proper or the uh the sick motivation can access this information, then with the uh the gunpowder available at gun shows with no uh traceability, no reporting, uh there's no laws uh that says you have to get permission to buy ammo.
Uh y yeah, and these f freely available components at at the big box stores, my goodness, it's uh it's a miracle it doesn't happen more often, Sean.
You know, one of the things uh and this now it rubs up against the issue of freedom of speech, Geraldo.
And this is difficult here because I mean it's frustrating on the one hand that you know you believe in in total and complete freedom of speech, and then okay, well, we'll say, well, you can't print something like the Anarchist Cookbook.
You can't tell people or print out or put on a website how to build a fertilizer bomb like that that that Nazi jerk Tim McVay built when he blew up the Oklahoma in the Oklahoma City bombing or whatever his ideology was.
But on the other hand, I figure that these people are gonna figure it out anyway.
That it's always going to be available the information.
This is why I don't think guns are the answer.
You saw what happened in the school the other day.
I mean, it was uh actually a pretty amazing experience where you know, yesterday we had a shooting take place.
You have a guy that had a gun engage him on the campus, which is something you and I agree on that would help protect children, and it the opposite impact of what had happened down in Parkland occurred.
They were able to stop him because they had an individual arm that was willing to gauge engage right there on the scene.
No doubt about it.
Uh what happened in Maryland uh absolutely confirms and corroborates our feeling that every educational institution over a certain size should definitely have one good guy with a gun.
Uh the cop in uh in uh Maryland, uh rural Maryland, had the gun, used it uh with great effect and eliminated the threat after the initial tragedy, unlike Parkland, absolutely.
I have to just give you a PS as I'm sitting here in this modest suburban community uh where Mark Anthony Condit lives outside of Austin uh, Texas, over his home right now, vultures are circul uh are are are uh flying uh, you know, swooping around.
It's so eerie, uh, the scene right now.
It's almost as if there's a uh road kill uh uh below them.
I it's uh it's it's surreal.
Uh but one thing I want to add, Sean, is what broke this case wide open was good old-fashioned police work.
When when uh the FBI and ATF came in, and they so the FBI, the ATF joined the Texas Rangers, the other state authorities, and the hardworking Austin PD, they had enough people, hundreds of agents, where they started going through the receipts of every single big box store in Austin.
It was through the receipts and triangulating and all the rest of it, that they got the ID.
But even though, as you said, Sean, the First Amendment allows anyone to internet search anything they want to.
We can or the authorities, ever since the Edward Snowden scandal, cannot uh search your internet searches without a warrant.
So they first had to get the store receipts, that gave them probable cause.
They got the IP search warrants, they go into the guy's internet, then they find the suspicious internet searches, and at the same time the uh the guy makes his most fatal mistake going to the FedEx with all their sophisticated surveillance video and so forth.
Then they track them down, they get an ID in his car, and then they again good gumshoe police work.
Unbelievable that's the guy.
Hey, listen, think about the the Unobomber, eighteen years it took us to find this guy, eighteen long years.
Uh it is uh and look, uh and what people don't know about Heraldo Rivera, he is revered by the military and by police.
You know, we we have spent a lot of time talking about the deep state and those in at the highest level of power inside intelligence and inside the FBI and the wrongdoing.
When we don't group into those few, the ninety-nine point nine percent that do the kind of work that these SWAT guys did down in Austin and all the police did down there, and I think it's important to point that out as often as we can.
Great work as usual.
Um Thanks, Haraldo.
You're the best.
We'll see you tonight on Hannity.
All right, my friend, God bless you.
Let's get to our folks here.
You want to be a part of the program.
All right, Patty is in Houston, Texas.
Uh Patty, all right, this guy blew himself up earlier today.
I know it's uh a little bit of relief for the people of Texas, but there is still a fear out there among law enforcement uh that more potential explosives might have been sent out, or there might be an accomplice, but I think we've come a long way to ending this terrible, you know, situation with this Austin serial bomber.
Sean, I'm calling you just to thank you.
And it's really weird because literally I was just talking to my husband a few minutes ago in the car.
We're in Houston, but I have a best friend in Round Rock and uh a niece that's in Austin, and we just i you took such a personal interest, and I mean it, you know, when you say that you love Texas and that you might want to be here one day, I really believe you.
I do.
So we were so I mean I I I cannot believe it because we were just talking about this a couple of minutes ago.
Yes, um, my niece had a fear.
She's worked there two days a week, Monday and Tuesday, of really going anywhere today, of leaving her house.
And so I don't know other than the fact that he's gone, thank goodness, this this 24-year-old, and I guess found close to Round Rock.
I don't know how we're supposed to feel, but you took a personal interest that we should.
Well, I'm gonna tell her how to feel.
And and listen, I lived this personally in New York post-9-11.
And that's true.
One of the things that really stood out, a profile and courage I always felt, and I I I've been best friends with him before and and after and still today, and uh is Rudy Giuliani.
And I know everybody got mad at Bernie Carrick, but Bernie Kerrick was standing right there with him every step of the way.
And and all those firemen and all those policemen and all those people that went up when the world was headed down in the other direction, and it just shows you how amazing uh that these law enforcement officials are, these first responders are, these firemen are, paramedics are, and you know that I'll tell you it's a it's a bitter conflict in me.
I uh in many ways we're leading the charge exposing corruption at the highest level in the Intel community and at the Department of Justice and at the FBI.
What they do impacts the rank and file.
And all my rank and file friends in the FBI, I can tell you, and in intelligence, all of them, without exception, are are so disappointed at the actions of of the Comies and the McCabes and the Strux and the Pages and then Attorney General Loretta Lynch and others.
Most people that I know in law enforcement have a calling to do that job.
They love to protect and serve.
But we'll give you the last word, Patty.
No, only thank you, because seriously, and you always mention that the FBI too.
There's a lot of good people in the FBI.
And they're and but unfortunately, some of the higher ups are giving them a bad name.
All right, 800 941 Sean Toll Free telephone number when we come back.
News Roundup and Information Overload Hour.
Jessica Tarlov, Ron Christie, and then your calls.
800-941-SHAWN is our number.
Look, uh, the president once again has um maintained that it's important for us to have a dialogue with Russia so that we can focus on some areas of shared interests, the ones that I've already named.
Uh at the same time, we're gonna continue to be tough on them.
The president joined uh other countries in these calls, both Germany and France have reached out, uh, as well as President Obama in twenty twelve.
And certainly the president finds there to be an importance in having that dialogue with Russia so that we can talk about some of the big problems that face the world.
The President often congratulates uh leaders who are not democratically elected.
I was wondering if one of Putin's um henchmen didn't pick up the phone and said, Listen, listen, bro, you better call the boss or else you are knee deep and poop.
You don't want to seem like you're wallowing in it.
So he's his fingerprints is all are all over Russia.
And the only thing we heard out of President Trump, and I think it was three times in in a one-minute span, well, I believe President Putin and I are going to see each other very soon.
I find that equally appalling to see now Donald Trump legitimizing a fraudulent election in Russia by a dictator who's been poisoning people on the soil of our biggest ally.
Yeah, but the Liberals were perfectly fine with the idea of of dragging in and cargo planes, 150 billion dollars in cash and other currencies to give to the murdering mullers in Iran in the hopes that well, maybe they'll stop they'll stop saying that death to America, maybe they'll stop burning our flag, maybe they'll be nice to us.
President Trump just a week and a half ago imposed new sanctions, oh, on Russia, on organizations, on individuals tied to the cyber attacks against the U.S. The President joined France and Great Britain and Germany as it relates to the uh belief that, yeah, in fact, Russia was involved in the poisoning of two individuals.
Uh this president last year signed legislation imposing punitive sanctions on Russia for their belligerent activities and human rights abuses and the evasion of existing sanctions.
Oh, and this is the same president that is literally cutting the legs out from underneath the Russian economy as he has now opened up Anwar, expanded coal mining for the first time in many years in America, uh, is moving towards natural gas and energy independence, which means that not only is Russia going to be able to charge less, nobody will need any of their energy.
Something that Obama failed to do.
Anyway, news roundup information overload hour.
This is the Sean Hannity show, 800 nine-four one Sean is a number.
Joining us now, Ron Christie, former special assistant to President Bush, columnist for SideWire, Jessica Tarlov is the head of the research at Bussel and the Fox News contributor.
Uh let me ask you a question.
Was uh Barack Obama tough on Russia when he was warned in 2014 by Devin Nunes that Russia wanted to have an impact on the 2016 elections?
And was he wrong in 2016, just two weeks before the election, when he said to Donald Trump, stop whining, no serious person could ever believe that anybody could ever impact our elections.
Uh why didn't Obama do anything, Jessica Tarlov?
Well, Obama did do some things, but I think you know, all Democrats have agreed largely that he fell short there.
Even Adam Schiff has admitted that on the Sunday shows.
Um so you obviously have a point there of the Russian reset.
And the president has sanctioned now more than three dozen organizations, individuals involved in the Russia incur uh incursion into the Ukraine, right?
And and the president has joined the world of the other countries as it relates to the poisoning of these people.
Well, I think that the issue with how President Trump treats Russia is that he's usually flow out of the gate with these things.
And there are people who are critical of this set of sanctions and feel like he could sanction Putin specifically, and that's how you would make a real impact over the poisoning of the Russian guy who was traded to the UK.
Um so I I completely understand where you're coming from here.
I think that the whole, you know, he called the congratulate thing that doesn't really make that much of a difference, even though his notes said do not congratulate.
So he wasn't supposed to do that.
Yeah, God forbid he's his own man and he didn't follow the talking points.
Well, but it's not uh it's not a real election, though, and I think we can all accept that.
I mean, Vladimir Putin hasn't.
Well, the reset didn't particularly work out well either, in spite of Hillary handing a reset button to our counterpart.
Okay.
Well, uh remember the Ron tell tell me.
I'll have more flexibility uh after the election.
Tell Vladimir.
Okay, don't let anyone else know I'm doing them.
Well, I tell Vladimir.
I tell him, I tell Vladimir.
Look, Sean, it's good to see you.
You know, the funny thing is, the only thing we've seen with Russia and collusion is with Obama and with Hillary.
With the Hillary Clinton Foundation and Bill, and they're taking all this money in.
And of course, you see Obama in 2012, and he says, Oh, congratulations, Mr. President.
And the what does the media do?
They say, Oh, that's so wonderful.
But you go back to Russian meddling.
And I'd love to challenge Jesse on this because you had John Brennan, who was Obama's CIA director, who knew for years that Russia was messing around or trying to mess around with our election.
What did Obama do?
Nothing.
He didn't do anything.
Brennan didn't do anything.
The Democrats didn't care.
And then all of a sudden Donald Trump gets in and they need an excuse to as to why they lost a pathetic race, and they say, Oh, it's Russian and collusion.
So Obama knew it, did nothing.
Brennan knew it, did nothing.
They just can't take the fact that they lost and they got humiliated, and that millions of more people wanted Donald Trump to be the president than the failed Clintons.
We know it's not millions more because it's just millions and well, thousands in specific states.
But anyway, I'm not here to debate the popular vote versus Electoral College and the law.
And no, uh listen, I'm not one of those people who says the reason Hillary Clinton lost is because of Russian collusion.
So I think obviously the main thing was that she didn't show up in the right places.
And I think Bernie Sanders had a tremendous effect.
I think the Jim Comey letter had a tremendous effect, and that's a U.S. problem.
That's not a Russian problem, though he was seeing some Russian intelligence over the summer.
But either way, I think it's something that many people on both sides of the aisle agree needs to be looked into.
There have been 19 indictments passed down so far in the Mueller investigation.
And I think that's a good idea.
None of which have anything to do with collusion.
None of which have this what I love.
Oh, we can go looking for a crime and then get people in a perjury trap, or we can go back and look at people's finances from over a decade ago and say, oh, we have an indictment for Russia collusion.
There is no Russian collusion.
There is no effort on behalf of the Trump campaign or the president and his current advisors to collude to steal an election.
And by the way, Jesse, you know this.
There is no federal crime of collusion.
So even if you're going after the president for collusion, there is no crime of collusion.
And that's why you hear the Democrats drop that narrative, and now we're hearing about obstruction of justice.
But you know, I'm not attacking you.
I just I just think it's it's so disingenuous.
That so many of these Democrats are grasping at anything to take down the duly elected president of the United States.
They're going after people.
You don't see Andrew McCabe having to sell his house.
You don't see Andrew McCabe uh being frog marked out the way, of course, that you've seen some of the Trump associates.
I just think the the double standard that has been shown by those at the upper echelon of the FBI towards Trump folks versus Clinton people and Obama people has been abhorrent.
Well, I think that if you're talking about you know of Trump folks, you're talking about someone like Paul Manafort who has been dirty dealing for decades, and that's well known, you know, in the what did the Mana Ford indictment have to do?
Oh, what did it have to do with Russia?
Oh, well, no, Chris, uh sorry, Ron was just saying that there are folks are having to sell their homes and are in all sorts of trouble, and there's nothing.
Well, I mean, if well, well, hang on a second.
We know that we know that McCabe got just got fired for lying under oath multiple times.
Uh is he gonna get away from the case.
Is he?
No, Donald Trump had nothing to do with the firing.
The firing was recommended by the FBI itself and by their own protocols and the own laws of the land.
And when you lie under oath, if your name is General Flynn, you have to go to court and then have to sell your house and and and your whole life gets turned upside down for years.
Wasn't he also working as a foreign agent?
Excuse me.
And how many times has that law been enforced ever?
I don't believe that's the case.
Never.
Never successfully.
He was, though.
Uh I mean, okay, so wait a minute.
If McCabe if McCabe lied under oh, shouldn't he be charged with that?
If he lied, I mean he contests that.
So I I assume that there will be a bevy of the city.
And what about James Comey?
Have you ever heard of an investigation where they're writing an exoneration letter uh months before they ever interviewed the main people that are the target of the investigation?
Have you ever heard of that before?
Oh, well, we've talked about this.
No, I didn't ask if we talked about it.
I'm asked if you is that the way it usually works when in law enforcement.
I'm not asking what Judge Nepal, I'm asking you.
Have you ever yourself working the FBI?
All right, so all right, but but it does sound unusual even to you, right?
That three months before you interview Hillary, you're writing her exoneration.
That seems odd, right?
Well, yes, it seems odd, but I've I'm not in a position to say that that is a very important thing to do.
Let me ask you this before.
Do you think it's odd that you you literally present before a FISA court, bought and paid for Russian lies from one campaign, Hillary's campaign, and you don't tell the Pfizer court judges on four separate occasions that she paid for it and that it's full of Russian lies.
Do you think that sounds fishy?
Is that the America we want?
We're gonna get Pfizer warrants to spy on Americans uh based on one individual's payment to a uh foreign national who uses Russia and Russian government sources to smear another presidential candidate, and we find out that those lies were exactly that lies.
Well, the way that I understand it from all of the memos and what's been made public, at least I know a lot has been redacted, that it wasn't based so solely on the steel dossier, and that's a FISA court judges.
Excuse me.
Let me quote the Grassley Graham memo, and let me quote Andrew McCabe.
Andrew McCabe said, Oh, if with no dossier, there wouldn't even be a Pfizer court application.
And the Grassley Graham memo said the bulk of the information in the FISA application was the dossier Ron Christie.
And not only that, Sean, you go back to Stroke and the fact that he's actually friends with one of the FISA court judges.
This would never have held up in a court of law.
They went to FISA for a reason.
They had different standards, the evident three standards under the Fourth Amendment.
They would never have had a case, they would never have brought a case.
We would never be talking about this.
The Democrats knew that they could use the rules, they could manipulate the rules to try to go after Trump because they wanted to bring down this president because of the way that they broke the law.
Oh, they broke the law.
And to say nothing of look at Comey and look at McCabe.
McCabe says, Oh, well, you know, I was actually talking to the director.
The director knew that I was leaking to people.
Right.
And then what do we have Comey under oath saying no?
He never authorized.
And never authorized.
Well, that's gonna be eventually reconciled.
Never mind the fact that the whole investigation in a Hillary's email server scandal was a sham.
It was a hoax.
Uh it was rigged from the from the get-go and the fix was in.
We need another special counsel.
Yes, we do.
Uh 800-941 Sean Moore with our news roundup information overload hour.
Ron Christie, Jessica Tarlov, Hannity tonight at nine.
We got a big show tonight.
Tell you more about that in a minute.
All right, as we continue, Jessica Tarlov, Ron Christie are with us.
Let me ask you this question and then we'll get Ron's take, Jessica.
When Hillary has subpoenaed emails, and she puts it on a server, even though it's illegal to do so in a mom and pop shop bathroom closet because you can't put classified top secret special access program information there.
Anyway, the information gets subpoenaed.
She deletes 33,000 emails, she acidwashes the hard drive, and then she takes a hammer to the devices where those emails might be and then takes out the SIM cards.
Does that sound like obstruction of justice in Jessica Tarlov's world?
If I did it, would I be in trouble?
I I presume it certainly seems extreme.
Obviously, she maintains that she only deleted personal emails and I didn't ask you if it sounded extreme.
Does it sound like she's obstructing justice?
I'm asking a very specific question.
But I'm I I don't feel like I'm in a position to say that.
I am not a lawyer.
I don't work for the FBI.
I don't I I don't know what to say.
I have been on your show many times and talked about this and said that that does make it.
If I did that and I got charged with obstruction of justice, Ron Christie, uh, you're a lawyer, right?
I am a lawyer.
Would you be able to get me out of that?
No.
And let me take it a step further, Sean.
You know, for having had the highest security classification when I was in the White House, you use a different computer.
You're not on a typical terminal.
You're on a secure terminal.
If I had put a flash drive on my computer and downloaded 33,000 emails and put them on my flash drive, obstruction, I would go to jail.
If I had done exactly what Hillary Clinton had done and had a mama pop server, I would have gone to jail.
You ever hear a Christian saucier, Ron?
I haven't.
Christian Saucier, you know, he was very proud of his work.
He worked in a U.S. submarine.
Oh, yes, that poor young gentleman.
Yeah.
Who took a couple of photographs.
Six.
Six photographs.
Yeah.
Never said them to anybody.
No.
But he did lose his phone.
He spent a year in jail.
When you have TSSCI, the classification that you keep making reference to, you know exactly what you're supposed to do, what you're not supposed to do.
Hillary Clinton knew.
Who Ma Abidin knew they knew exactly what they were trying to do, which was to skirt the system.
Why does why do people that's smart like Jessica Tarlove?
Why does she not see this for a clean, clear case of obstruction?
Well, I think that she wants to be supportive of Hillary.
But if you just say if it's Person Joe Blow or if it's Linda, if Linda had done exact same thing.
I'm blaming Linda too.
I you know, I I haven't seen you in so long, Linda.
I just I would never blame Lauren, though.
I'd never blame Laura.
If Jessica did it, would you be able to get her out of jail?
No.
I really wouldn't.
I mean, would you visit me though?
Yes, I would, because you know how much I like you.
But to be honest with you, I'd visit you with a cake and a file.
I'd be willing to go to jail for you.
Oh, thank you.
Hey, listen, remember the actress Hannah, what's her name?
Uh Daryl Hannah.
Daryl Hannah.
I actually bailed her out of jail once.
Yes, you did.
Really?
For what?
Well, she was going, she's like one of these, you know.
She was protesting.
She was protesting.
She's like an environmental kook, but I really liked her, and I said, I'll bail you out the next time you get arrested.
You just liked her mermaid.
No.
Did you but we did do that, right?
We did you sent the money, didn't you?
Yeah, we helped.
Yeah, I bet I literally bailed her out of jail.
I paid for it.
So, Jesse, you know if we get in trouble, we know who to call.
We're calling Uncle Sean and bail us out.
Uncle Sean would definitely be there.
Uncle that's that's all I do.
I fix things.
I'm like Mr. Wolf in Pop Pulp Fiction.
You know?
But notwithstanding.
Look, obstruction is a very serious charge, Sean.
But also mishandling classified materials.
Those statutes are in place for a reason.
And you look and you read these things and you say, if I break the law, I deserve to go to jail.
All right.
By the way, Jessica, it's Ron's world and you happen to live in it.
I love that sense.
Sorry.
All right, we gotta roll.
Thank you both.
When we come back, wide open telephones on this Wednesday.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls uh this half hour.
Let me just play a couple of Hillary cuts here.
I mean, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump is undermined the presidency to enrich family.
Erratic behavior is undermining global order.
I'm like, wow.
Can she really be that out of touch with who she is?
I'm gonna play that.
And then and then Hillary saying, well, white women voted for Trump because their husbands, their bosses, and their sons told them how to vote.
And then Donald Trump responding to that.
Hit it.
He has uh uh undermined the uh office and used it to enrich himself and his family.
Uh disregarded laws, ethical standards.
He's crossed into a territory of behavior and actions that are unpredictable, that are erratic, that uh are undermining the stability of uh the global order.
We do not do well with white men, and we don't do well with married white women.
Um and part of that is a an identification with the Republican Party and a um a a sort of ongoing pressure uh to uh vote the way that your husband, your boss, uh your son, whoever, uh believes you should.
Her last statement about women.
They have to get approval from their husbands, their sons, and their male bosses to vote for Trump.
That was not a good statement.
Not good.
You notice how fast the Democrats have run from these statements now?
They are disavowing those statements like I've never heard before.
She's wrong.
People that were her biggest supporters are now saying, what is she doing?
Why doesn't she just go home?
I mean, could you imagine I I who I want to know what century we're living in if men and bosses and sons are telling women, only white women, how to vote.
Linda, let's say, did your husband, your boss, or your son have any influence in how you voted in the last election?
No way, man.
Could they ever have any influence in how this is the dumbest question I've ever asked anybody on this on this radio show?
Nobody puts baby in a corner.
Everybody knows how I roll.
Uh I but do you know any woman that would say, Yes, yes, boss, yes, dear, yes, son, I will do what you say.
I will and by the way, what happens if the son and the boss and the and the husband give three different ideas?
Then what is she gonna do?
I think what she was trying to do was deflect the responsibility of her many mistakes in life.
Why are you being serious?
We're supposed to have fun with this person.
Oh, let's have fun.
Let's have fun.
If any man tried to tell me what to do, I would kick him where it counts.
Oh, yeah.
Why are you advocating violence?
That's not nice.
Oh, come on.
They witnessed you do it.
He's the way that I am.
You know, when people are doing nice to the cop?
Well, the officer was incorrect, so we had to have a talk.
But that's you get did you get a ticket?
But if that officer, no, I did not.
You didn't get the ticket and you were arguing with the officer.
By the way, you know what the dumbest thing to do is ever argue with a police officer.
Why are you arguing with a police officer?
First of all, I was not arguing with him.
He was totally freaking wrong, okay?
About what?
What did he pull you over?
What did he pull you over for?
So and Lauren was with me.
She she was the witness.
What did you get pulled over for?
I'm I'm gonna tell you.
I'm waiting.
This is the problem with men.
I'm trying to have a conversation.
She wants you to know that I was there because people never can believe the things that actually happened to her because they are so unbelievable.
But they really are crazy.
Listen, I'll be honest, I'm not in that category.
I believe any of her crazy stories.
You've been with me.
I've been around.
I've actually seen a few crazy instant incidents myself.
All right, you got pulled over for what?
So we get pulled over because the traffic is out of bounds going into the Lincoln tunnel.
Okay.
So long story short.
Long story short.
Anyone who's driven in New York City at during rush hour, it's a freaking nightmare.
So we're gonna make this right hand turn.
You're not supposed to make a right.
And I had been there the day before.
Oh, you're not supposed to make a right.
But it's only on certain times.
So it's like before seven, after three, uh, if you eat breakfast, all these ridiculous rules that Bloomberg put in order.
Okay, fine.
So we're at this, we're at this light, you're not supposed to make the right, yada yada yada.
And this this cop that I had seen the day before, I had said to him, I was like, Oh, can you make the right here?
Because everybody's making it.
Like, what's the deal with the sign?
He's like, Oh, yeah, totally ignore that.
Make the right.
Nobody it's too crazy here.
You have to make the right, you gotta do it.
So, all right, fine.
So I make the right.
I I I no sooner get around the corner.
And there's a co-op.
And there's this cop, and he walks up to me and he doesn't talk to me.
Doesn't I roll my window down, you know, hi officer.
What you know what's going on?
Hi, officer.
You want some coffee?
He's like, uh, pull over.
I'm like, oh God.
Right.
This guy's had a bad day, and I'm gonna be Pisana Nangrata.
So I pull over, yada yada.
And um he's talking to a truck, he pulls over, he's talking to another car he's pulled over.
He hasn't gotten to me yet, and I'm looking at Lauren, like, what is the problem?
What's going on?
So finally he gets to my window and he goes, Do you know why I pulled you over?
I said, Actually, I don't know.
I'm very curious.
Why'd you pull me over?
And he says, Uh, did you read the sign?
I'm like, What sign?
He's like, the sign, I'm like, what sign?
There's a lot of signs.
It's New York City.
There's like 16 signs at every stop.
And he's like, the sign that says no right turn.
I said, Oh, yeah, well, I talked to your buddy on 43rd Street, and he said it was okay for me to turn.
He goes, What guy?
I'm like, your fellow officer.
I'm 43rd.
Your fellow officer.
Okay.
So we're going back and forth.
He goes, What street are you on now?
I'm like, I'm 141.
He's like, You talk to the guy on 43rd.
Where are you?
You're going on 41st.
You're on my street.
I'm like, You own the street.
You don't own the street.
I own the street.
I pay taxes.
You don't pay taxes here.
I'll look what are you talking about?
Why am I pulled over?
So go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Finally he goes, Let me see your license of registration.
I said, for what?
You say I could make the right time.
I said, I just told you, your buddy on 43rd Street told me to write the right turn here.
Why do I gotta show you my license or registration if you told me to make the right?
He's like, I don't know who you're talking about.
I'm like the guy in the small car.
It says traffic cop, I talked to him.
He said I can make the right.
Maybe you should radio him and ask him.
So he's just like, Oh my god.
Oh, he l he let you go for his own sanity.
No, no, he didn't.
He let you go because he couldn't handle any more of it.
That's why he didn't.
But he did.
He took my license and he took and he takes my registration.
So I hand him my registration.
It's in a nice clear pack.
It's like perfect.
Do you have any PBA cards that say my name on it?
No, I don't.
I would never do that.
Why not?
Because I'm not you.
I'm me.
No, but I have PBA cards that have been given to me for the case.
First of all, that moment did not require a PPA card because I was innocent and I needed to be a good one.
I was innocent.
You know what the dumbest thing to do in the whole wide world when you get pulled over?
Argue with a cop.
Is argue with a cop.
Except when they're wrong.
Okay.
It doesn't matter if they're right or wrong.
Just say yes, sir, no, sir.
I'm so sorry.
Well, I started out like that, but then he had an attitude problem and he didn't want to.
He had an attitude problem.
What did he do with your license and registration?
He takes my license and my registration and he comes back in and he says, Listen, you gotta look at the sign.
I said, Let's have a real talk about this.
I said, Now while you were sitting there looking at my license and registration, I took a video tape of all the cars making a right that you didn't stop after me.
Now let's watch this together.
Now all of these and he's looking at me, he's like, ma'am, I cannot stop every car.
I'm like, oh, but you stop me.
Oh, so I get a ticket and all these cards look at this video.
Look at this video.
I said I narrated it for you.
I said, Now, in the six minutes you were over there, I have videotaped all these cards.
And you can see every single license.
Now if you're gonna give all of them tickets, then I'll take your ticket.
But if you're not giving me a ticket, I think we still need to have a talk about the fact that you can't even see the sign because the bus in front of me that is allowed to make the right was blocking the sign.
This is this exactly how it happened, uh, Lawrence?
It is.
It is, and we have the video to prove it.
And you know what he says?
You're right.
You know what he says?
Get out of here.
He says, I don't know why you're listening to cops anyway.
You shouldn't be listening to cops.
You know, you gotta listen to yourself.
You can't.
So I said to him, I said, So you don't want me to listen to the cops anymore?
He's like, right.
I'm like, okay, thank you, officer.
Have a nice day.
And I roll my window up and off I went.
Only Linda can get through an entire saga with a police officer, and at the way end, he tells you, you know what?
Don't listen to the police.
Listen to yourself.
He was totally wrong.
Okay.
No, he he was right.
But but I'm just gonna say one thing.
He he just said, get out of here because he couldn't take it anymore.
That's why he said, get out of here.
In any event, that cop, you, my brother, my husband, nobody would tell me how to vote.
Oh, yeah, but uh intimation.
I forgot about that part.
Lance is in Amarillo, Texas.
What's up, Lance?
How are you?
Hey, Sean, thank you for what you do.
I have two questions.
One is do you think Mueller's gonna on purpose extend the investigation past the midterms just to see if the Democrats take the house?
If he can, I though I wouldn't be surprised.
Okay, and the other question is have you ever wondered if Sessions is really part of the deep state and recused himself on purpose to let Rosenstein do the bidding for him?
I don't believe he did it on purpose, but he should have told the president none of this happens if he didn't recuse himself.
With that said, the attorney general does have an opportunity to make this right.
How do you make it right?
Well, the DOJ, the FBI can't investigate themselves.
The only answer now is a second special counsel, and that's it.
That's the only choice we got.
Uh Michelle is in North Carolina.
What's up, Michelle?
How are you?
Hey, I'm doing great, Sean.
Thanks so much for letting me talk about.
Well, thank you.
I'm glad you called.
Sure.
Well, you know, I I'm gonna just deal with Hillary Clinton.
I just want to say she is an embarrassment to women everywhere.
As far as I'm concerned, so they go after white men.
Now she's gonna go after white women.
When is she gonna take responsibility for herself?
I'm sorry, but we're supposed to be in the age of empowerment, and we're supposed to be, you know, women can do anything, and we can be anything, and don't put limits on us.
And then she's telling us that there's an entire generation of us and there's an entire millions of us that are voting because our husbands tell us how to vote.
Just FYI.
We didn't vote for you because you're a crook, you're a liar because you're horrible at your job.
You were a failure as Secretary of State.
And you know what?
It's time for her to be behind j bars, just like any one of us would be.
Uh, I gotta tell you something.
I don't know what century she's living in.
And I've said this before, presidential candidates that lose, they lose their minds in the process.
Nobody that runs runs for president thinks they're ever gonna lose.
And you know, I hate to say it, you don't win every time in life.
And how you deal with winning and losing, you know, talks a lot about your character.
Unbelievable.
I mean, I what century is this?
I listened to my husband, my boss.
Uh I can't get Linda to get me a cup of coffee if she doesn't want to get a cup of coffee.
Oh, wait a minute.
You gotta tell the truth about that.
Everybody knows I'm a mother hen.
Well, to what to an annoying degree, she's quite frankly, so here's here's Sean Hannity.
But I bring it without being asked.
It's different.
Okay, here's Sean Hannity.
I'm on a diet.
I let everybody know I'm on a diet.
So what does Linda do?
She orders up as much candy and donuts.
I I would if I could, but I don't.
And oh, you look hungry.
Oh, you've had a stressful day.
Here is an entire 40 pounds of meat for you to eat.
Um I just in case you want a little bit.
But he didn't give you bread.
Oh, good.
Just gave you the meat.
It's protein.
Tracy and Katie, Texas.
What's up, Tracy?
How are you?
I'm doing pretty good.
What's happening?
Look, I I'm I I'm doing good, but watching television, I don't know, man.
I'm kind of getting freaked out here.
The president is just showing me.
I'm looking at him in a matter from the position that he's detrimented to the country.
And he's showing it just with this Putin call.
I mean, I'm not going to come out Stormy Daniels and the other person, but this Putin call, what he's trying to do with Mueller, he's trying to elevate himself above the law, as far as I'm concerned.
And right now it was scaring me the most, Sean, is that we're stuck between China and Russia for superpower status also.
let me ask you a question.
What's worse?
The fact that Hillary put top secret classified special access program information that that hostile actors like Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others hacked into, or Donald Trump, whose tough on Russia record is in a year thousand times stronger than Obama's.
And he said, Yeah, congratulations.
What's better for the country?
I'll take Trump cutting out the economic juice of Russia, which is energy and becoming energy independent.
What you describe with respect to Obama and Hillary, I know that.
You know, I studied Pavlov's dog.
I did psychology, and you, you know, you can't.
Yeah, we all studied Pavlov's dog.
We've all learned, we all sat through those boring psychological babble classes.
Yeah.
So I know that I know that you're based in the conservative party.
If they hear Hillary Clinton in comparison, I'm not talking about them.
I'm talking about Donald Trump, who was told by his now, do not congratulate someone a dictator.
And I'm looking at Donald Trump who's had meetings at Trump Tower.
And I'm looking at him as using Cambridge analytics to give 50 million uh data or something.
You can thank Obama for that, but go ahead.
I'm looking at his actions.
And if I look at his actions as someone who's betraying a nation, he gets top honors by betraying the nation.
What he's doing is dismantling us.
And I think Russia's China's already attacking us economically.
Russia's defendant.
By the way, they didn't use that data.
Remember the data analytics issue, that was all designed and put in place by Obama, and all of those people then work for Hillary in terms of what they did.
And you're kind of forgetting the whole Russian dossier thing as you discuss this that she paid for.
You're missing a few big points here.
But Cambridge Analytics is not a part of Obama.
What they just showed on Channel 4 news of how Cambridge Analytics is easily usable for dirty tricks, it adds up to the collusion.
The fact that Donald Trump didn't put no money into his election was showing me now tells me that he didn't have to worry about putting too much money in this campaign because the Russians were.
A lot of this stuff is adding up.
But the fact that you want to go after Muller and heard earlier you want to go after Muller is ridiculous because Muller's a Republican, Comey's a Republican, Rosenstein.
And you know what's really weird, weird?
The person who leaked, for instance, the fact that he congratulated Putin, these are sure me that there are Republicans that's close to the United States.
No, no, no.
You're missing the the deep state actors that don't want the president to succeed.
And this is what I've been saying.
You're missing a whole big part of the equation here.
And the deep state protects itself.
Look, if Muller and Rosenstein and Comey, if they have nothing to hide, then let's have the second special counsel.
And by the way, they should embrace it because weren't they lecturing Trump this weekend?
Act like you're innocent.
Well, the way I would act like I was innocent is I'd be screaming from the house top, the rooftop, that I'm innocent, which is what Trump's doing.
I wouldn't say, no, no, no, continue your continue your two-year investigation.
I'm innocent.
I'm in a I'll just be quiet.
I'll say nothing.
800-941 Sean toll free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
We have an amazing show tonight, Hannity, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
We will continue.
Who is Robert Mueller?
We're doing a deep dive, and we will tell you things that nobody else has found.
Alan Dershowitz says this whole Mueller thing needs to go away.
And uh Congressman Meadows, Gates, and Biggs, well, they have a letter that they sent to the FBI director Ray and Geraldo.
Well, now the Austin bomber has killed himself and blown himself up.
We'll update you from Austin where he's broadcasting.
