	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	Let not your heart be troubled.
	You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio Show Podcast.
	I don't know what to think about Mark Zuckerberg.
	He's now testifying before Congress.
	Anyway, glad you're with us.
	By the way, Diamond and Silk are a threat to the community.
	They'll join us later in the program today.
	800 941 Sean is our number.
	Sorry, I don't sound my usual happy self, although I'm happy.
	I just uh got this horrible cold thing, virus, nose, throat, ears, eyes, and everything in between.
	I told you yesterday to buckle up.
	I told you yesterday that this raid is this is now the special counsel's declaration of war on Donald Trump on a duly elected president on the rule of law, and we've gone literally from an investigation into Russia collusion now into a raid on how did Stormy Daniels get paid $130,000, which seems to be the nuts and bolts of everything here.
	It it looked here's what I've concluded.
	There's nothing, and the media's complicit in this, excuse me, because of their adherence to destroying this president has now given them, meaning the special counsel, all the cover they need to pretty much do anything and everything that they want to destroy the Trump presidency.
	And I'm not overstating this this case here.
	This this is an expl this is explosive new territory, partisan territory territory we're talking about, and it's a very dangerous phase for the rule of law, equal application under the law, our constitution in this country, and this is not hyperbole on my part.
	It's clear Mueller's mandate is to get Trump.
	Now that's not what a special counsel's mandate is supposed to be about, and there are other deep state actors that are similarly involved in this effort.
	How long have I been warning now that there are five separate forces that are trying to take down this president?
	I've talked about the media.
	They're complicit, they're they're anti-everything Trump.
	I mean, you're not going to hear from anybody today that the president of China has blinked and promised to lower auto tariffs on American car makers and respect intellectual property rights of Americans.
	That's that's not going to be in the news today.
	It's gonna be all Robert Mueller, all destroy Trump, all Russia collusion, all stormy, stormy, stormy all the time.
	So you've got a corrupt media that I would argue is emboldening the special counsel to pretty much do anything he damn well pleases.
	We have more details on actually what went down yesterday.
	Then you've got the Democratic Party.
	They've been talking about impeachment before he even took the oath of office.
	Then you've got weak Republicans, never Trumpers, and then you've got this nefarious deep state that people like I have been warning you about, and and I think we now know a lot more about the deep state than we ever knew before.
	And that is that, you know, we now see that people in the highest levels of the Justice Department and sadly the FBI, highest levels, not rank and file, and the intelligence community that literally are corrupt.
	And they thought they knew better than the American people, and that they were willing to overlook.
	And this is where equal justice under the law comes in.
	They were willing to just overlook and exonerate somebody we know committed multiple felonies in Hillary Clinton.
	This is not even dis it's not in dispute anymore.
	Hillary Clinton, we know, violated 18 USC 793 mishandling, classified top secret special access program information.
	I I dare any one of you to do the same thing and see what happens in your life.
	And then we know she had 33,000 emails that had been subpoenaed that she decided to delete.
	You're not allowed to do that if it's subpoenaed.
	And just to make really sure they're gone, she acid washes her hard drive with something called bleach bit with most what I'm sure most of you'd never heard about in your life.
	And then to make triply sure any devices where those emails may have gone to, blackberries, iPhones, etc., she instructs a staff member to take a hammer and beat the crap out of those devices.
	Well, that would be called obstruction of justice by anybody else.
	Now we also learned in that process, because she put all that top secret classified information, special access programming information on an unsecured server.
	We know that, well, at least five, probably more foreign intelligence agencies were able to hack into her server.
	And that, yeah, includes Russia, but probably China, North Korea, Iran, and any other number of hostile actors towards the United States of America.
	You know, the idea that we're surprised that Russia is trying to influence our elections.
	Yeah, well, that's happened in past elections, and there was a big fat warning that was put on Obama's desk and even made public by the head of the House Intel committee, Devin Nunes, back in 2014, that this was the intention of Russia for 2016.
	And it appears that they want to create as much maximum chaos as possible.
	I was reading, you know, you've got these bots now, literally from Russia, apparently taking both sides of the Laura Ingram case just to create chaos in the country.
	And literally doing the same thing with groups like Black Lives Matters and other controversial events that happen.
	And they're trying to influence and create a divide within the American people, and then it's actually working.
	That's that's the sad part of all of this.
	Then you've got the raid of the home of uh and the office and the hotel room of Michael Cohn, the personal attorney of the president.
	I said it yesterday.
	I said on this, this is a runaway train where we've now evolved from collusion to now how did we pay the porn star?
	And in the lead up to the elected, the attorney for the president, who never worked on the president's campaign.
	He was an advocate for him, a friend of his, he went on television for him, but he certainly wasn't the Trump campaign, wasn't on the Trump campaign, wasn't paid by the Trump campaign.
	Just somebody who believed in the president.
	And then, of course, then it goes on from there.
	Never worked in the transition, never worked in the Trump White House.
	He remained and still remains the president's personal attorney.
	Now, what we're learning is how this all went down is pretty interesting because it apparently there's something Robert Mueller was in charge of this from the get-go.
	And Robert Muller goes to his BFF Rod Rosenstein.
	Why didn't he go to Jeff Sessions?
	Because Jeff Sessions, who knows what Jeff Sessions is doing, which is another big problem because Jeff Sessions isn't the attorney general on these issues.
	And that's a huge problem.
	And the double standard, you know, how does Hillary get away with all of that obstruction that I talked about?
	How does how does Comey get to write an exoneration in May?
	They don't interview her or 17 other key witnesses till July.
	The person that interviews Hillary is the Trump hater, Peter Strzok.
	You know, and best friends, lovers with Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe and the insurance policy.
	The exoneration was written two days after the interview.
	Oh, she's clean.
	She gets to continue.
	If Donald Trump did what Hillary Clinton did, he would have been locked up.
	And that's where we now are facing a constitutional crisis in this country.
	Nobody in the media cares about the rule of law.
	Because if they did, they'd put aside their partisanship as it relates to Hillary, and they'd focus in on, yes, she committed these crimes, those are crimes.
	We have the evidence.
	And then they'd look at an exoneration before an investigation.
	They'd say, wow, they gave her a pass and rigged the investigation.
	Just like she ended up rigging the primary against Bernie.
	Nobody cares about that either.
	Just like nobody seems to care that, yeah, there was a foreign national, Christopher Steele, that was paid by Perkins Coey, whose money was funneled from the DNC that Hillary was controlling financially and Hillary's campaign to that law firm to hire Fusion GPS to hire a foreign national who then goes to Russia and gets foreign Russian sources to give him dirt on Donald Trump.
	Then that dirt bought and paid for by Hillary is then used, not again by Faisal law.
	They're supposed to verify and corroborate it.
	The FBI protocols demand they do such, and they don't verify it, don't corroborate it, and then they lie to a Pfizer court judge, not only in the initial application, but three subsequent applications.
	And Rod Rosenstein talk about the incestuous nature.
	He's involved in both sides of this.
	The first witness would be Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Robert Mueller.
	It's an unbelievable set of circumstances that you don't think could happen in America, but it actually can.
	You know, when the president said yesterday, everyone scoffed at the idea this is an attack on our country.
	What he's specifically saying here is that this is an effort to overturn the outcome of a free and fair election.
	A duly elected president, if you will.
	This is this is all designed to not just delegitimize anymore.
	This is to take him down.
	This is to impeach him.
	I don't suspect that they're going to come in with handcuffs and arrest Donald Trump or indict Donald Trump, but they're going to force a constitutional showdown as it relates to executive privilege, what the president can or cannot say.
	And the president, I hear these people say, fire Muller.
	You can't fire Muller.
	That's the problem.
	Because as soon as you do, it becomes what?
	You can hear it now, Saturday night massacre.
	Doesn't matter how rogue Mueller is.
	It doesn't matter what he did with Whitey Bulger and four innocent people going to jail because of an FBI informant his office was working with and the hundred million dollar plus payout in that case.
	It doesn't matter that Andrew Weisman, who the New York Times calls uh Muller's pit bull, was involved in tens of thousands of people losing their job at Anderson accounting.
	Doesn't matter that those people lost their lives and careers.
	Doesn't matter that this the Supreme Court overturned him 9-0.
	Doesn't matter four Merrill executives went to jail for a year.
	Doesn't matter the Fifth Circuit overcame that.
	Doesn't matter in at least three cases involving Weissman and Muller's team.
	Exculpatory evidence we know was withheld.
	Why did Mueller put that team together?
	Why would anybody hire Weissman?
	Is a pretty good question.
	And the answer is to destroy Trump.
	All right, so now they get Mueller gets new information, and Mueller goes to Rod Rosenstein.
	Rosenstein knows there's political pressure now that it's it's kind of a leap to make it from collusion, which they can't prove, or else they would have done it so by now, to jump into Stormy Daniels and how she got paid.
	So then Rosenstein, you know, they send this information to the Southern District of New York.
	We just found out the big talking point by liberals yesterday was, well, this is a Trump appointee.
	No, the Trump appointee actually recused himself again.
	The interim special products prosecutor that was going to take over for uh Preet Bahara, who is a very aggressive prosecutor and investigator.
	This is that Southern District is not a not a there's not a group of people you want to play with.
	They mean business.
	So now they go raid Michael Cohn's hotel room and office and home, and now they've got every bit of information that they need as it relates to Donald Trump that they've wanted from the very beginning.
	So, you know, understand what's happening here.
	This this is this is very, very dangerous.
	I'm gonna explain all that when we get back.
	I have a lot to get to today.
	Also, Herman Cain is going to weigh in on this.
	Poor Diamond and Silk are deemed a threat to the community, whatever the heck that means.
	We'll get to that.
	Uh, we could be on the brink of some type of military action because of the chemical gas attacks on men, women, and children in in Syria.
	Well, following that today.
	All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity show, toll-free telephone numbers 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	So I just want everyone to understand what it all means and what is going on here.
	And now you better buckle up because this is going to be a long, protracted dogfight.
	Anyone that tells you differently, I don't think knows what they're talking about.
	You know, there's been a lot of people that have tried to appeal to me and say, you know, Hannity, Muller seems like a reasonable guy.
	It's reasonable.
	He's he seems and I've been looking at the team that he's surrounded himself with.
	Here's my question to anyone that thinks Mueller's reasonable.
	How do you appoint as your pit bull a guy that was in charge of the investigation?
	This has to do with it goes back to the Enron days, Anderson accounting.
	The net result of it is tens of thousands of people lost their jobs as a result of this investigation, and it ends up being overturned 9-0 in the U.S. Supreme Court.
	Does that sound like a winner to you?
	Does that sound like somebody that you want working on a case involving you?
	And then it goes further.
	Same guy put four Merrill executives.
	Maybe you hate Wall Street guys.
	It doesn't matter in America, whether you like somebody or not, they deserve equal justice under the law.
	And then he puts this guy in charge, and four guys get sent to jail for a year.
	A year.
	And that's overturned by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
	And the same guy got excoriated not once, but twice for withholding exculpatory evidence as it relates to defendants.
	Is how do you ever justify hiring somebody that is that corrupt and abuses that power in that way?
	Because you know something, there's a responsibility that people have that are in the in the public arena, especially those that make decisions about life and death and and prosecutorial discretion is what we call it.
	They have an obligation.
	But then you go back to the Whitey Bulger FBI informant issue when Mueller was in Boston, and they have and Mueller's Bulger's committing murders, and four, it turns out four innocent people were charged with a murder they didn't commit.
	And they were protecting Whitey Bulger's informant.
	Guy who ended up in trouble himself.
	And four guys go to jail, two of them die in jail, and then it turns out that they were innocent.
	And a hundred plus million dollar judgment rendered in their favor.
	Well, great, the family doesn't have their family members, but they got a lot of money.
	Is that the way our justice system is supposed to work?
	I don't think so.
	All right, we'll take a quick break.
	We'll come back.
	800-941 Sean Tulfrey telephone number.
	All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
	You won't hear today, I promise, sidebar, Robert Muller's Stormy Gate bombshell story that it looks like President Trump uh got China to blink on trade.
	No, you know, that's that's not a big deal, right?
	What did I always say?
	I said he's the consummate.
	He negotiates everything.
	You know, if I say uh, well, when he's a candidate, I'd say, Mr. Trump, can you do a uh an interview?
	He'd say, uh, how long you want?
	Well, we'll just we'll do it for the hour.
	No, I can't do an hour.
	Uh, I'll do a half hour.
	Oh, and I really only wanted 40 minutes anyway.
	But anyway, he just that's how he he does it.
	I said this whole trade thing is not about he's just basically um, you know, a guy that's out there trying to negotiate new trade deals so America's safe.
	Anyway, long story short, the president of China now promised to cut China's auto tariffs, great for auto workers and the auto business, and improve intellectual property protection uh in concessions aimed at defusing what has been now this dispute with Washington and Donald Trump, and which, by the way, was all the president wanted from the beginning.
	That's the president didn't want a trade war.
	Nobody wants a trade war.
	He wants free and fair trade.
	You're not going to hear a lot about that today.
	I guess we don't have time for that today.
	Um, one interesting piece, I want to get to some news before I get back to commentary here.
	Apparently, Robert Muller now didn't find anything that he was looking for during the no-knock raids on Michael's home, Michael's home and office, Michael Cohn's home and office yesterday.
	Um, and so apparently no smoking gun because the Hill is reporting that federal prosecutors are now the day after the raid requesting records from the Trump organization connected to a payment with Michael Cohn to Stormy Daniels, according to the Wall Street Journal.
	Now, This is pretty fascinating.
	So the request is now tied to the FBI raid of Cohn's office on Monday, which resulted in this, you know, them confiscating every email, tax documents, all the records related to his payments to Daniels.
	And she has claimed the payment made just before the 2016 election was hush money to prevent her from speaking out about the alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
	Look, here's my interpretation of what happened.
	And Michael Cohn told me at the time that Trump didn't know.
	Not at the time, but when I found out about it, I asked him, did the president know?
	He said no.
	And so what was Michael Cohn doing here?
	Well, Michael Cohn is it possible that a billionaire has empowered his attorney to do things, you know, handle problems without even consulting with him in this case if you're running for president.
	It's a hundred percent plausible.
	It's not probably to the average person.
	To me, it's plausible.
	And I'm sure some people in the media were, oh, how is that possible that he didn't know?
	I believe it in a heartbeat.
	And Michael had told me he used his personal funds when I asked him.
	And that's what he all of this he said publicly.
	And I think what Michael was doing, he's like, all right, uh, my boss, I have to deal with this because he's running for president.
	And so he basically it would become the biggest deal probably in the country whenever he did this deal before the election.
	And so he decides to jump on the hand grenade and say, all right, I'll just take care of it myself.
	Which I'm sure Michael Cohn has probably done regarding business issues a million times before.
	You know, how many billionaire lawsuits do you think take place on an average day?
	It happens all the time.
	So they call what?
	Michael Cohn the fixer?
	Okay.
	The question is, was Michael Cohn empowered enough that he could make decisions without having to run it by his boss.
	I'm absolutely sure that's the case.
	And he saw a potential big problem for his boss, and he jumped on a hand grenade.
	And he said, Let me put it out, let me take care of it.
	Which I think makes sense when you really think about it.
	Anyway, the lawyer for Michael Cohn said in a statement that prosecutors obtained a search warrant after receiving a referral from special counsel Muller.
	Well, what's Mueller's involvement in this?
	And why is Muller now looking for more documents when apparently they raided the place and got all the documents they wanted yesterday?
	Um here's the most interesting story of the day, because this was the biggest liberal talking point yesterday since the news broke of what happened with Michael Cohn and the president's lawyer.
	The media has been telling us, well, well, whatever Michael Cohn must have done, it had to be really, really, really bad because the raid was authorized by a Trump appointed U.S. attorney for the Southern District, the interim U.S. attorneys guy named Jeffrey Berman.
	Well, apparently he's the interim person, but now we learned from ABC News that Berman had recused himself.
	I guess, you know, president gets all the good luck.
	Jeff Sessions recuses himself the day after.
	Jeffrey Berman was not involved in any decision as it relates to Michael Cohn because of his recusal that was approved by none other than Rod Rosenstein.
	So the raid of Cohn's Cohn's office and his home and his hotel room, I think his home is being renovated or something.
	Anyway, by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District, was approved by a federal judge.
	Berman had nothing to do with this.
	And I'm sure they found some suitably anti-Trump Hillary donor, just like Robert Mueller is put together.
	Now, here's some other interesting side notes in the news today.
	During the yesterday's raid, well, it appears that Stormy Gate prosecutor Robert Mueller was looking for dirt on allegations the President Trump, you know, he's now looking into every girl that President Trump may have kissed back in the day.
	And apparently looking back now into Karen McDougall, the other one that Anderson Cooper interviewed, as well as evidence says it relates to Stormy Daniels.
	I mean, what's next here?
	You know, there was a woman that said back in 1979 she allowed Donald Trump uh, you know, to you know, that Donald Trump touched her on a plane in front of a full plane full of people.
	I think that was the year.
	Anyway, CNBC's reporting that the FBI looked for records related to payments that were made to Karen McDougall.
	Anyway, well, okay.
	That would be news.
	I'm sure that has a lot to do with Russia collusion, too.
	And anyway, Stormy Gates prosecutors, mum on pro Hillary payoffs to Trump accusers.
	Now think about this.
	John Solomon wrote this.
	Now, you know, we had talked about this back in the day.
	You know, remember that there were people, lawyers that were actually paying money for people and paying off mortgages so that women would tell their stories.
	Oh, yeah, we forgot that part.
	Or when the New York Times ran the front page article, and all these women that apparently had been terrible, all these women were saying terrible things about Trump, but only to the New York Times because when I ended up interviewing most of them, they all said just the opposite.
	Look, this is this is now at a crossroads here, and I don't think this is gonna stop.
	That's that's what I'm trying to get everybody to understand here.
	I Muller did not assemble this team of Hillary donors, Barack Obama donors, DNC donors with the atrocious track records, A, that he has.
	He is not the saint that everyone portrayed at the beginning of this investigation, and hiring people like Andrew Weissman to be his pit bull, if he didn't have the ambition of going after Trump, it should always be about the rule of law, but that is not always the case when it comes to prosecutions.
	And so the president, yeah, unloads yesterday, and I think he had every right to do so, and everything he said is absolutely true.
	We have a double standard here as it relates to equal justice under the law and equal application under the law.
	I do think Professor Dershowitz is right.
	I do think there's a there's a zealot aspect to all of this, that it's not about law, it's about the personality.
	People don't like Trump's personality.
	I know that, you know, this is a dangerous point that he made on my show last night for attorney client relations because at the end of the day, I don't care what, quote, buffers they're gonna put in place and who gets to make the decision about what's what is admissible or not admissible from all the materials that they confiscated.
	Why didn't they just subpoena these records?
	At no point has it ever been said that Donald Trump, the Trump organization, Michael Cohn, or anybody else has not cooperated with federal prosecutors.
	Do they have any reason to believe otherwise?
	If they do, what is it?
	You know, so we're looking at as it relates to campaign finance violations.
	I can tell you that that is usually slap on the wrist stuff.
	Maybe pay a fine stuff.
	Quote, an in-kind donation.
	Okay, he paid the money he paid to get his boss out of trouble, never officially a part of the campaign, and he sees trouble for his boss.
	He has the authority to put fires out.
	He jumps on their grenade.
	Okay, well, what is the penalty for that?
	And was he doing it in his official capacity as the then candidate, Donald Trump's attorney, or is he doing it for campaign reasons?
	Who knows?
	I mean, at that point, now you're you're into reading people's minds and what makes them decide that they want to protect their boss.
	Um, I have a rare disagreement with Lou Dobbs in a sense that I don't think they can fire without a major constitutional crisis in this country, in spite of a this full-on assault to destroy a duly elected president.
	I'm not sure if firing Muller is the right thing to do.
	But I don't know where this all this all of this is gonna end.
	I don't I think most Americans are watching this that have any sense of proportionality, any sense of right and wrong, any sense of real justice, they are sitting back very nervous watching this because they know the massive double standard is right there under your nose.
	And everything that Hillary Clinton did and Pfizer abuses, and nothing ever seems to move on any of those crimes that we know were committed.
	We know Pfizer judges were purposefully lied to.
	We know Hillary committed crimes and obstructed justice.
	We know that she paid for Russian lies.
	We know that the fix was in with this, you know, high-ranking group of people.
	We know that we abused the Pfizer courts and Pfizer warrants.
	And we don't hear much about it, do we?
	And we see people demoted and we see Andrew McCabe is thrown out, but beyond that, what else?
	Where are the charges?
	Where's the inspector general's report that we were supposed to have, you know, the latest in April?
	Supposed to originally have, I think, back in March.
	You know, so look, we we didn't see Hillary Clinton's offices get raided, get raided, or lawyers' offices get raided, even though she acid washed and deleted subpoenaed emails.
	Why not?
	If it's gonna happen in this case, why not in that case?
	Everything we've been telling you about a two-tier justice system should be in the front of your mind at this point.
	Muller's out of control.
	His team is out of control.
	This happens a lot with prosecutors.
	This goes to the yeah, you can indict a ham sandwich argument.
	And, you know, show us evidence of collusion.
	Where is the evidence of collusion?
	You know, ultimately this all gets traced back to the fact that this president never has had his own attorney general in place.
	That would have some sense of of balance in all of this.
	We wouldn't have none of this would have happened but for Jeff Sessions recusing himself in this particular case.
	You know, where's the second special counsel?
	Who's going to investigate the investigators?
	What about the high-ranking people and abuse of power within the FBI and Department of Justice?
	Are we really gonna believe that Loretta Lynch talked just days before the decision about Bill Clinton's wife that they only talked about grandchildren?
	Are we supposed to believe that?
	Are we supposed to believe that Peter Strzok, who hated Donald Trump, who conspired with Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe for a you know, uh a plan B, if you will, if Trump gets elected, an insurance policy?
	We really to believe he did a fair investigation into Hillary?
	Are we really to believe that Comey who took it and said it's not an investigation, it's a matter?
	Are we really to believe he who personally set out to to get a special counsel appointed by leaking proprietary information with the president?
	No, there's no movement on any of this.
	None of it.
	And then we got the Department of Justice and the and the FBI literally slow walking 1.2 million documents that Congress, which has congressional oversight, has been subpoenaing and asking for day after day, and they get 3,600.
	They don't get 1.2 million, and the person that is running defense and blocking it all is Rod Rosenstein.
	We wouldn't never have known about the FISA abuses because Rosenstein didn't want any of that information out.
	Make no mistake here.
	You know, the the documents that we're talking about are crucial if you want to find out who did what under the Obama Justice Department, what a Loretta Lynch did, what FBI Director Comey did, what high-ranking DOJ officials did, you know, what McCabe did, what Strzok and Page were up to.
	You want to get to that, you know, how how was Hillary cleared of obvious crimes?
	That's all supposed to come out.
	That's all in the 1.2 million documents that have been subpoenaed by Congress.
	You know, why won't the Justice Department release the unredacted FBI memo that Devin Nunes has been demanding in terms of you know, everything that was used to justify the entire Russia collusion narrative from the beginning?
	That's even more frustrating.
	Where's the original Pfizer warrant in this particular case?
	Why can't we see the unredacted version of that?
	Now I'm gonna tell you something here.
	You know, the media is not gonna ask these questions, and in the process, they are the great enablers in all of this.
	Because all they want is to destroy Trump.
	That's all this is you've got a deep state Democrats, the media industrial complex, the left-wing complex, weak Republicans, never Trumpers, they're all in agreement.
	He doesn't he doesn't fit our narrative.
	But all that means is they have contempt for the American people.
	They don't care who we who you voted for.
	They don't care what you want.
	They think they know better.
	That's what it all comes down to.
	All right, 800 941 Sean is our number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	What's gonna happen in Syria?
	We're gonna change gears a little bit when we get back.
	Also, in the next hour, we'll check in with Herman Kane.
	You know, one thing we always forget in all of this, all this time, and there's no evidence of Trump Russia collusion.
	Nothing.
	So what's next?
	What is the what is the special counsel?
	Are you gonna go after Jared and Ivanka and Don Jr. and just try and set the president off to fire Mueller because he's gone absolutely Crazy and insane.
	Oh, that's gonna be great for the country.
	All of that.
	And by the way, I think uh Rand Paul is right.
	Give a shout out to him.
	And uh few people have been saying what he's saying.
	You know, first question we ought to ask is what does this have to do with Russia?
	It's simple, but it's profound, and he's dead on accurate.
	All right, the latest on Syria next, coming up.
	I like to begin by condemning the heinous attack on innocent Syrians with banned chemical weapons.
	It was an atrocious attack.
	It was horrible.
	You don't see things like that as bad as the news is around the world, you just don't see those images.
	We are studying that situation extremely closely.
	We are meeting with our military and everybody else.
	And we'll be making some major decisions over the next 24 to 48 hours.
	We are very concerned when a thing like that can happen.
	This is about humanity.
	We're talking about humanity.
	And it can't be allowed to happen.
	So we'll be uh looking at that barbaric act and studying what's going on.
	We're trying to get people in there, as you know, it's been surrounded, so it's very hard to get people in because not only has it been hit, it's been surrounded.
	And if they're innocent, why aren't they allowing people to go and prove?
	Because as you know, they're claiming they didn't make the attack.
	So if it's Russia, if it's Syria, if it's Iran, if it's all of them together, we'll figure it out.
	And we'll know the answers quite soon.
	We cannot allow atrocities like that.
	He may, yeah, he may.
	And uh, if he does, it's gonna be very tough.
	Very tough.
	Everybody's gonna pay a price.
	He will, everybody will.
	Excuse me.
	U.S. military action is it off the table as a nothing's off the table.
	Nothing's off the table.
	Uh well, they're saying they're not, but to me, there's not much of a doubt, but the generals will figure it out probably over the next 24 hours.
	All right, that was the president speaking about the atrocious, vicious attack against men, women, and children, another gas attack in Syria.
	All right, 800 941 Shauna's a toll-free telephone number.
	If you want to be a part of the program in a minute, we'll go back in history and tell you how people like John Kerry said, Oh, we've got all the chemical weapons out of Syria.
	Apparently not.
	But the question is, what role does the U.S. have in what is an ongoing civil war?
	Now, Russia, Syria, of course, they're denying it.
	What do you do?
	Anyway, Brigitte Gabriel, terrorism expert, chairman of Act for America, the largest national security grassroots organization in the country.
	Also, Dr. Alan Mendoza, executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, and that's one of the UK's most prominent international security think tanks.
	Uh, thank you uh both uh for joining us.
	You know, Brigitte, when you see you know, I I don't want the United States to be in the position of being the world's policeman.
	I certainly don't want nation building.
	I don't think America politically commits to win wars, and and therefore we should never get involved in them.
	But when you see images of men, women and children that are being gassed, there is a line that has to be drawn morally.
	It's sort of like, you know, if if your neighbors, if you hear screams and howling and pain, uh excruciating pain and some type of violence taking place next door to where you live, you're probably gonna try and do something.
	Uh if we don't set some guidance or have some lines here, then I would assume these kind of vicious attacks, you know, can continue and and you know it builds into what?
	How many millions dead?
	It will not only continue, Sean, it will also escalate.
	The world looks at America uh to set the precedent to basically lead the world, and right now we are the only superpower of the world.
	And this type of atrocity, this type of barbaric chemical attack.
	I mean, we are hearing now, and it is confirmed by US experts that they have used nerve agents.
	So it is beyond just chlorine gas.
	As bad as that is, it doesn't matter what type of chemical attack it is.
	But but in order for you to get to the point where you use nerve gas killing people in mass, we cannot allow any country in the world right now to get to this point, and we are the only people who can stop such atrocities from happening.
	And this is why the message that President Trump is going to send to Syria is not only to Bashar uh to Assad, it's also for every tug in the world who is developing such weapons of mass destruction to understand that America will not tolerate the world to get into this type of war.
	What's your take?
	Uh Dr. Alan Mendoza.
	Well, I I agree entirely.
	I think the you mentioned at the start that America is not the world's policeman, and and of course it isn't.
	But collectively, America, the Western world have taken it upon themselves to stop uh the the you know the sort of willful use of the world's worst weapons as as happened in this context.
	It is entirely in our own self-interest and in the interest of everyone living on this planet that we do not allow proliferation of chemical weapons, their use, use of nerve agents, use of nuclear weapons down the line.
	That's you know, kind of a basic position.
	And I think what's striking about this is how President Trump has come out front and center and made it quite clear it is unacceptable, made it quite clear there will be a heavy price to pay.
	It will not be simply a one-off strike, I didn't believe.
	I think there's a lot to come on this, and this is in stark contrast to what we saw with the Obama administration in the past.
	And what's interesting is that when President Trump has led on this, others are following.
	President Macron of France seems keen to commit.
	Our Prime Minister Theresa May seems keen to commit when there is leadership, when there is commonality of interest, we are with the USA in standing up for what is right and decent in the world.
	Well, agree totally.
	Let's go back in time.
	We'll play Obama setting the red line in the sand about uh Syrian dictator Assad if he ever does use chemical weapons.
	Now we all know the history of this is in fact Assad used them and Obama did nothing.
	And then it wasn't long thereafter that John Kerry was out there, you know, a couple of times will play those actually saying, Well, we struck a deal where we got a hundred percent of chemical weapons out of Syria.
	Obviously, not true.
	Listen.
	We have communicated in no uncertain terms with every player in the region that that's a red line for us.
	And that there would be enormous consequences if we start seeing movement on the chemical weapons front or the use of chemical weapons.
	That would uh that would change my calculations uh significantly.
	It was his decision to decide to bomb that helped to bring people together so we could cut the deal that got 100% of the declared chemical weapons out of Syria.
	And people nevertheless have been critical of uh of one day of bombing versus the virtue of getting a hundred percent of the chemical weapons out of Syria.
	And I've just I asked any of those critics today, where do you think you would be if ISIL today had access to those chemical weapons in Syria?
	A terrorist organization with weapons of mass destruction.
	But because of what we did, we got a hundred percent of the weapons out, and they don't have access to those extraordinary weapons.
	So I I think people need to sort of step back and really measure outcomes.
	The United States of America has never been more engaged in helping to lead in more places than we are now.
	I just came back from China where we are engaged with the Chinese in dealing with North Korea, and you will notice since the visit last year, North Korea has been quieter.
	We haven't done what we want to do yet with respect to the de-nuclearization, but we are working on that and moving forward with respect to Syria.
	We struck a deal where we got a hundred percent of the chemical weapons out.
	Yeah, a hundred percent out.
	Uh apparently not Birgit Gabriel.
	Uh uh apparently not.
	And I actually I was listening to uh an intelligence analyst this morning.
	Um I was talking on the phone, we were on a conference call, and I heard that uh Assad already have done eight chemical weapon attacks this year alone.
	Now, they were not the phone w weapons that they used this past weekend, but eight is too many, and we cannot allow this to continue.
	Uh it is amazing that these weapons are used today, Sean, in 2018.
	These weapons have been outlawed by the Geneva Convention in 1925.
	And right now, they are agents that are helping Assad basically uh uh uh use these weapons, even get him weapons like this.
	We know that Iran and Russia are involved.
	We know that Iran for sure has a vested interest.
	I don't have any doubt about that, but but here's the thing.
	I mean, the president announced that he was he was gonna be leaving Syria.
	And so the question is why would they provoke the president further?
	They underestimated the president, and they are testing him right now.
	And um the intelligence community is working very hard uh in finding out who are the players and why they're doing what they are doing.
	And I hear there are something about to break either tonight or tomorrow information regarding this.
	But they are testing him, and I think they are underestimating him because President Trump is different than Obama.
	One year ago, exactly almost around this time, when he bombed that air base, he sent a message to them, don't mess with me.
	He wasn't you at that time as a president.
	Right now they do understand don't mess with him, and they're gonna be very surprised at America's reaction.
	Are you really confident, Dr. Mendoza, that in fact if we hear something within the next 24 hours, because the president mentioned this yesterday, 24 hours is now passed.
	Are you confident that the president will have allies like Great Britain, uh like France involved in any effort, military effort to at least make some strategic strikes to maybe take out these facilities?
	So in fact Assad stops doing this to innocent men, women and children?
	Well, there are two points in what you've just said.
	The first is will he have allies?
	I believe he will have allies.
	I certainly believe the French will be on side.
	I believe there'll be um a coalition of Arab states who might be willing as well to come on board.
	I can't speak for the UK because we've had a uh a rather uh torrid history when it comes to air strikes on Syria.
	We rightly blame President Obama for not having gone in in 2013, but he didn't go in because one of the reasons he didn't get in was because our House of Commons rejected the opportunity and a shock defeat for the Prime Minister of the time, David Cameron, when our own MPs chickened out cowardly uh approached the situation and left the U.S. holding the can.
	So I can't speak for us, but I know the Prime Minister will be very keen now to go in.
	But here is a bottom line is that and I think we learned this in Iraq, that the at least in the United States politically, there was never the will to win the war.
	He literally put handcuffs on troops where they have rules of engaging engagement that are so stringent that these guys can barely be even put in a position to defend themselves.
	And then a war becomes politicized, and then after 5,000 plus Americans die and and thousands others linger injured, losing their limbs, etc., then we say, well, never mind.
	And then it ends up descending into chaos anyway.
	So I just think politically, you know, uh uh the only option that is available would be uh some type of strategic strike, but that's not probably gonna stop somebody like Assad that's been willing to do this.
	What do you think, Brujid?
	Well, can I just let Brigitte?
	I don't think it can just be one quick strike.
	I think what you have to do is degrade the regime's ability to um commit atrocities.
	That means not simply chemical ones, but also the barrel bomb, the air strikes, all those issues.
	I think if you make the price for Assad acting in this way high enough, he will stop doing it.
	And what we need to do is send a message quite clearly that the president is.
	Well, but he's also getting the support of Putin and the Iranian regime, Burj.
	Ah, um we know that the swiftest action that we can take right now is basically to completely uh ground his air force so he will not be able to launch any other uh chemical attacks like this.
	You're not gonna be able to bomb all military bases and stop all weapons, but at least if we can uh paralyze his air force, we will be able to at least stop uh this type of attack in the future.
	Uh and send a very strong message to him.
	I do not believe that we can just do a drop drop or a pinpoint attack like we did last time when we attacked one military base.
	I think right now our government is basically discussing going in and paralyzing all of his air force.
	The the problem that we may run into is we know that there are Russian officers who are now working and present at some of these air bases.
	So it's gonna be taking a lot of warning and communication between us and Russia telling people get out because we're gonna bomb.
	All right, thank you both for being with us, Dr. Mendoza.
	Thank you, Brigitte, thank you.
	All right, let's hit the phones here while we have a minute.
	We have Dan in Louisville, Kentucky.
	Dan, hi, how are you?
	And welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
	Sean, how are you?
	I'm fine, thank you.
	Hey, Sean, the reason I I had called is is because the obtainment of the Mark Cohen file has to be subject to attorney client privilege, but the one file that can't be subject to the United States.
	I mean the Michael Cohn files.
	You mean the uh yes.
	Yes, okay.
	But Perkins Coe is Perkins Coey's files uh cannot be subject to attorney client privilege.
	They want fusion GPS came to them and they bought that file for one point oh two million dollars, or reported in the Washington Post.
	And when when Perkins Coey's uh spokesman uh talked to the New York Times, they said that no one at the DNC or Hillary campaign knew they even went to get the file.
	Now, uh that one of the bases for attorney client privilege is a client that seeks legal advice from an attorney.
	What legal advice was the DNC uh seeking or Hillary's campaign seeking when when Perkins Coley went to get that fusion GPS file?
	This is the most agregious and outrageous side of all of this, and that is the flagrant double standard.
	I mean, look, I I don't even know how many different ways I can say it, but when you have real crimes committed, and yeah, you're talking about Russian lies, propaganda paid for by Hillary's campaign by the DNC, funneled through Perkins, is it CUI or or CUI, whatever it's called, the law firm that Fusion GPS used.
	But again, the DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign funnel the money to them.
	It doesn't show up as uh an expense other than a law firm expense, and it was all designed to get Russian lies.
	Then again, it's not verified, it's not corroborated.
	As a matter of fact, most of it has been debunked now, and then that information is used to obtain a Pfizer warrant to obtain on an opposition party campaign associate, so you can get into the campaign.
	You know, remember when when they got into Carter Page's once they got that Pfizer surveillance warrant, they also got every email that he had sent and every link and every it literally took them right inside the Trump campaign.
	And the same thing is happening here.
	I mean, everything that I'm sure they took out of Michael Cohn's office, you know, I know they're talking about putting a special team together to make sure that there won't be any funny business, but my confidence in them actually doing that and doing it right and doing it successfully is actually zero.
	Because I think the goal at this point has been, continues to be get Trump at any cost, and really nothing else seems to matter at this at this point.
	There it is a total focus of everybody's.
	Uh all right, we'll take a break.
	We'll come back.
	We're gonna get Herman Cain's take on all of this deep state gate, you know, stormy gate, if you want to call it, and everything else associated with it.
	Uh also we have Diamond and Silk, poor Diamond and Silk have been persecuted by you know Facebook, and literally they have been viewed as uh, I guess, under the legality of Facebook, they say, oh no, that they can't be up there.
	We'll tell you about that and more as we continue.
	So I just heard that uh they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys, good man, and uh it's a disgraceful situation.
	It's a total witch hunt.
	I've been saying it for a long time.
	I've wanted to keep it down.
	We've given uh I believe over a million pages worth of documents to the special counsel.
	Uh they continue to just go forward, and here we are talking about uh Syria.
	We're talking about a lot of serious things with the greatest fighting force ever, and I have this witch hunt constantly going on that's a disgrace.
	It's frankly a real disgrace.
	It's a an attack on our country in a true sense.
	It's an attack on what we all stand for.
	Uh so when I saw this and when I heard it, I heard it like you did.
	I said, that is really now in a whole new level of unfairness.
	Imagine if you deleted 33,000 subpoenaed emails.
	Imagine if you acid wash bleach pit your hard drive, and imagine you break up your devices and imagine nobody raised your lawyer's home office at all or home and office.
	Anyway, joining us now is our friend Herman Cain, uh nationally syndicated radio talk show host out of Atlanta and News Talk WSP.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm doing great, Sean, and thank you.
	You know, when the president actually said that this is an attack on the country, uh uh obviously the media said this is not an attack on the country.
	What are you talking about?
	Yes, it is.
	But in but in this sense, I agree with them.
	And this president has not had a moment's peace over Trump, Russia collusion, which is now evolved into paying a porn star by his attorney, and now basically squeezing the attorney, any threatening him with bank fraud, which is 30 years in jail over the payment to the porn star of a hundred and thirty thousand dollars.
	By the way, I still thought contract law existed in America, uh, whether you like it or or don't like it, but it happens every day, and this is where it's now expanded into, and now you've got the Southern District of New York working hand in hand with Robert Mueller.
	This is an attack on our country, uh, Sean, and for the following reasons.
	One, they had completely cooperated with the investigation.
	They had no reason to raid that attorney's office.
	Secondly, they have crossed the line from a legal standpoint, and they know it's gonna take some time to sort all of this out.
	He's gonna get some lawyers, they're gonna have to go to court, and their objective is to drag this out through the November elections, and thirdly, their objective is to try to embarrass this president, distract this president when the world is on fire.
	They want to do this.
	And then here's one other thing, Sean.
	How many raids did they do on Obama administration officials when the Democrats were in control?
	How about zero?
	You didn't hear about a raid, you talked about Hillary.
	That was cause for a raid when they were found destroying documents.
	So it is an attack on this country because somewhere in this, it's going to be determined that this investigation with the raid broke the law.
	But but listen, we'll we'll find out, I guess, in due time, but you're right.
	Now this is something this is now gonna be a fight.
	It's gonna be a legal war that'll go on in perpetuity, probably.
	And and wherever this mandate was or where it go, who knows?
	And obviously Rod Rosenstein had to approve all of this.
	The question I want to know is what did Jeff Sessions know and when did he know it?
	And is he still the attorney general?
	And there really is a point to the president that the president's making is that he's never had his own attorney general.
	Rod Rosenstein has been the attorney general basically for his entire presidency, because the day after he's approved, Jeff Sessions recused himself from all of this, which allowed Rod Rosenstein, friend of let's see, Andrew McCabe and Bob Mueller and James Comey and everybody else involved in this whole thing.
	You know, it allowed him to do all of this.
	And the media is so complicit, they don't care about the biggest abuse of power in American history.
	They've just ignored it.
	I have tried to give Jeff Sessions the benefit of the doubt.
	But to be honest with you, I could no longer do that for the following reason.
	You said it.
	The question is, what did Jeff Sessions know and when?
	If he didn't even know this was going to take place, that is a problem.
	So it is time to put someone in there who is not going to be recused, who is truly going to call the shots, because I think this whole raid thing simply crosses the line.
	It is a witch hunt, but it is a double standard witch hunt.
	That's why it is an attack on the United States of America.
	You know, well, it's really an against the American voter.
	But by the way, that's been the game since day one.
	They they never thought he could win.
	No.
	They mocked the idea that he was running.
	He gets the nomination.
	They were shocked at that.
	They were certain Hillary was going to win.
	But all these other issues that hang out here in the balance that we have talked so much about.
	I mentioned the email server scandal.
	Uh there's no there's been no raid of Hillary Clinton's offices or her attorney's offices.
	Uh perfect I guess it's perfectly fine for any of us now to acid wash our hard drives and delete emails that are subpoenaed and bust up our devices because if she can get away with it, I assume it's okay for everyone else.
	Similarly, I I guess if we do do that and we're friends with the FBI director, and you've got a tr bunch of FBI high-ranking associates that are anti-Trump, I I guess that means they'll write exoneration letters for all of us before they investigate, and I'm sure that they don't care about Russia collusion anymore because Hillary paid for Russian propaganda that turned out to be lies,
	then was never verified and used as the basis for for lying to a Pfizer court judge to approve a Pfizer warrant against Trump campaign associates.
	So I guess everything is off the table now.
	There are no laws.
	That's the double standard.
	It is clear that the deep state that the Democrats do not care about the people, they only care About political power and control over the people.
	That's all this is.
	So with this recent raid, it adds another point to the speculation derby so they can have more stuff to drag out at least through November.
	But as you indicated, it might be in perpetuity.
	So, yes, there's a double standard.
	And so rather than I know some people have speculated about whether or not the president ought to fire Robin Mueller, I would say no, you go ahead and replace Jeff Sessions and let the new attorney general.
	Well, the problem is that that attorney general is not going to be approved.
	All it means is Rod Rosenstein would probably stop whatever investigations might be going on that we're getting clues about.
	Even the inspector general's report, you know, Rod Rosenstein didn't want any of the information to get to Devin Nunes'committee.
	And again, they're slow walking all of the subpoenas and all the requests from Congress to look into the FISA abuses, look...
	Look into, you know, where this money came from that was funneled to a a foreign uh uh agent to to use to get Russian lies to influence the American people.
	I thought all of that matters.
	It seems to only matter if it's involved if it's Trump.
	Well, you raise a very good point.
	I had not thought about that.
	You're right, because if he were to fire Jeff Sessions and try to appoint somebody else, then the Democrats are going to filibuster and not let him get the job, and then Rosenstein is going to be essentially running the Justice Department, and we know he's part of the problem.
	That is a very good point.
	So what they have done with this raid is that they have basically tried to paint the president in a corner.
	Well, let me tell you about this president.
	You might paint him into a corner, but he's going to figure a way to get out.
	We just don't know what it is right now.
	But all of this is intended to just stretch the presentation.
	But I think you would agree with me.
	He can't fire Rosenstein.
	He can't fire Mueller.
	He can't as corrupt as Mueller and his merry band of uh withholding exculpatory democratic donors that he's put together.
	He really, if he fires Sessions, then he's got nothing that's going to be there except Rod Rosenstein.
	There's no good options there.
	So I basically the president is in a box.
	The only thing he has is the bully pulpit of the presidency to make his case, which I thought he did very articulately yesterday.
	Yeah, you you're right.
	I think he's going to figure out a way to use the bully pool that maybe not to get completely out of the box, but he's going to come up with something that's probably going to catch them off guard.
	Uh I agree with you a hundred percent.
	All this is is another component of the speculation derby to drag it out.
	The Democrats only have two strategies for November, and they keep talking about a blue wave.
	The only two strategies they have confusion in the minds of the American people with all of this stuff, which is a hot mess, and hatred of Trump.
	That's all they have, Sean, which is why they keep digging this stuff up.
	Let me ask you, um, I know you too have experienced some of this as well.
	Uh we watched Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook earlier today and testifying before Congress.
	You know, we have our friends Diamond and Soul coming up later in the program today, and literally they've been outspoken supporters of the president, but Facebook has deemed them unsafe to the community.
	Right.
	What is unsafe to the community mean?
	What does that mean?
	It means it's the flimsy excuse that they gave to not allow two conservative Trump supporting ladies to be on Facebook with the following that they have.
	They were up to four million people a month.
	Now, let me share something with you, Sean, that I haven't shared with anybody else.
	My website has undergone the same type of reduction in the most recent 12 month period that we measured.
	My website traffic.
	Now I had uh 1.5 million followers on Facebook, and now my website traffic has gone down 80%.
	I got the numbers to prove it.
	And I happen to believe if they get away with this with Diamond and Silk, and they probably can.
	I'm next.
	Uh Breitbart will be next.
	Uh Martin go being anybody with a conservative voice is gonna be in their scope.
	This is what I firmly believe at this point.
	This is just based upon my own experience.
	How can I have one point five million followers and all of a sudden my number of hits on the website start to go down dramatically, and then in twelve months' time it's eighty percent.
	You know, I smell a rat.
	I smell a rat.
	Listen, we know these practices have happened to a lot of conservatives and conservative groups as well.
	And similarly, you know, the whole idea, the whole business model of Facebook, nothing's private anymore.
	Okay.
	I don't spend a lot of time on Facebook or even social media anymore for this reason.
	Nothing is private anymore.
	It is not.
	And they all promised it.
	None of them delivered it, and they're actually make money selling away, you know, people's private personal details, which to me is outrageous.
	All right, Herman Kane, thank you, my friend.
	God bless you.
	800 941 Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
	We will check in with Diamond and Silk coming up in the next hour.
	We'll also get to your calls in the next hour.
	All right, as we continue.
	Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean, toll-free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	All right, let's get to Michelle in Vegas on K Dawn Radio.
	Uh, Michelle, hi, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hi, Sean.
	Thanks uh for taking my call.
	Um yeah, I just wanted to comment on the you know, the Diamond and Silk Facebook thing.
	I had a page and I don't get on there much anymore, but on Facebook, it was a conservative page.
	We started out, obviously with no followers.
	We would make memes.
	I would make memes, post them on bigger pages, they would share them.
	And I got I think I got suspended from my account at least seven or eight times.
	They would say I was fishing or I was doing, you know, things against their their policies, but all I was doing is posting something to like you, I posted something to your page, because I was hoping that the bigger pages would share my meme, then they would see where it came from and go on my um my page, and it worked.
	We only got up to ever like 15,000 but uh followers, but then I noticed that we wouldn't get as many likes as even when we had a thousand followers.
	And my friends and family.
	Why do you think they're target why are they targeting you?
	I think it's just because it's conservative.
	Um there was a conservative um page.
	I don't, yeah, I I don't hear liberal groups, liberals at all talking about the same things that we we had Herman Kane on, we have Diamond and Silk, we have you know, so many people that I know that are conservative that have said the same thing.
	People all over Twitter keep telling me that you know their accounts have been taken down, they're suspended, they are monitored, they're you know, all sorts of bizarre things happening.
	You know, I think the answer at the end of the day is gonna be you know what, there's got to be a conservative Facebook or free speech Facebook, one that just allows everything, even the most offensive things in the world.
	Um Twitter and and same with Instagram and all these other social media platforms.
	There is a way to do it, and I know what people are gonna say.
	I mean, then you get into questions.
	Well, what about if somebody's advocates advocating some type of terrorist activity or advocating or putting up pictures how to build bombs or or all sorts of questions now come into qua uh come into play here, but it shouldn't involve political opinions.
	And I think there's a way to thread that needle without without any type of censorship at all, and and I think that would be the better way to go.
	And certainly no invasion of people's privacy has got to be a different way to make make money on it, right?
	Well, yeah, and uh when I uh was more into it, I did have a couple of page admins um message of me and saying that there was I forget what they even called it, but they were trying to start a new Facebook, but it was um, you know, like you were saying, pretty much free speech, and that's all we're looking for.
	And it is it's you know, I'm I'm very conservative, but I would never silence a liberal, mainly because the more they talk, the the worse they sound.
	All right, anyway, I do appreciate the call.
	Thank you, Michelle 800-941 Sean.
	When we come back, we'll check in with our friends Diamond and Soak.
	We'll get to your calls, wide open phones, final half hour of the program as we continue to watch what's going on out of Syria, and of course, the special counsel's big stormy gate investigation, the double standard, and the attempt to take down a duly elected president.
	All coming up next.
	Final hour free for all.
	Nothing is wrong with your page, there's nothing wrong with it.
	We're well, we don't know, and we got to reach back out to our team.
	It was Just a back and forth, back and forth.
	And then finally, the straw was the other day when they wrote and they said that they deem our content and our brand unsafe to the community.
	That's right.
	And we are the brand.
	We the brand.
	Two uh our chicks that's down with politics, that that loves our president, that loves our country.
	You know, we the brand.
	We we the women that's behind all of this here, right here.
	So what you say is when you say that you deem us unsafe to the community.
	What you're saying is that we are we are a dangerous to our community.
	Is that that's what you're saying?
	I mean, I don't I don't get that.
	It's offensive, it's appalling.
	I look at this as discrimination.
	I look at this as vi freedom of speech.
	What about our freedom of speech is censorship?
	We are what you call a double threat.
	They do not want that because we do not fit their status quo or their narrative.
	You know, with us being black people, you know, they're used.
	The Democrats are so used to black people being on what we call the Democrat plantation.
	You're supposed to play by our rules.
	You're not supposed to have much so that you can depend on the government, and we'll give you what we want you to have so that we can control you.
	But Diamond and Silk, we can think for ourselves.
	Right.
	We have our own mind.
	We don't listen to those negative narratives that they're trying to spin over there on the left.
	We can have we have our own eyes, eight of them, to see for ourselves what's really going on behind the scene.
	We see the corruption that's going on in Washington, and we didn't like it.
	That's why we voted for Donald Trump, who is now the president.
	They try to deem us as dumb, as ignorant, and as uneducated.
	Oh, honey, we're very smart.
	We see right through all of their BS.
	That's right.
	All right, that was Diamond and Silk responding to Facebook.
	And of course, Mark Zuckerberg was out on Capitol Hill all day.
	They have di been deemed unsafe to the community, whatever the hell that means.
	Diamond and Silk join us now.
	How are you?
	Oh, wonderful.
	I hope you're doing well.
	Uh well, first I'm really sorry.
	Um look, I'm not on Facebook a lot, but I I have followed you on Twitter.
	I know that you are rock stars.
	You're now on a tour across the country.
	I know you were in Pittsburgh this weekend.
	How was the crowd?
	How did everything go?
	Wonderful.
	Oh, we've got the time.
	Wow.
	Sold out.
	That's awesome.
	That's all right.
	So all of a sudden, you notice that your traffic is down.
	Is that the first sign that wait a minute, something's wrong that the number of people that follow you can't get a hold of what you're putting out?
	Well, what happened back in September?
	Our page our page went down for a couple of hours, maybe about a good eight hours.
	Let's say not a couple, eight hours.
	And then all of a sudden, we had to get in contact with Facebook, and then they brought it back up.
	And when they brought it back up, we noticed that um our engagement had dropped significantly.
	I mean, just people wasn't getting their notification.
	Uh uh, people we're not showing up in people's news feed, and people started emailing us and writing us and telling us, hey, where are you all at?
	And so that's when we reached back out to Facebook to see, okay, what's going on?
	And they kept giving us the runaround, and then their final determination was we're unsafe to the community, is basically what there's what they said our content.
	And did you ask them what that means?
	Because I that doesn't make any sense.
	How are you unsafe?
	Are you advocating terrorism?
	You're advocating violence.
	No.
	But we didn't write them back to accent what that means because they said it was not not appealable.
	We would not be able to appeal it.
	This is final.
	The decision is final, and that's it.
	So that's why we put it out on social media.
	Hey, this is what happened.
	And so we had our questions.
	What do you mean we're unsafe?
	What does that mean?
	Right.
	We had to put it out on social media for them to see it because they told us in the email it you can't appeal to this.
	This is final.
	All right, what's the status now?
	There is no status.
	Facebook has not communicated to us.
	We have not talked to Facebook, we haven't talked to any of their representatives, we haven't talked to Mark Zuckerberg, we hadn't talked to anybody.
	And so you watch Mark Zuckerberg go up there today.
	Look, uh the the whole thing is here.
	I've not noticed, and maybe you two can help me out on this.
	I have not noticed any liberal groups being attacked the way conservatives are being attacked and censored all across social media platforms.
	Now, I notice a lot of this Herman Kane was home with those last half hour.
	He said the same thing happened to him.
	And I look, I is there anything that you've ever said that is unsafe?
	Have you ever advocated violence?
	I doubt it.
	No, no, no, no.
	We have always been a supporter for community, for families.
	Um, just wanting to spread the love, spread the world.
	We have our president back.
	We love his agenda.
	How can we unite this country?
	We're one race, and that's the human race.
	That's how we've always been on our platform.
	That's right.
	And keep keep in mind, Sean, we did not go out soliciting our page to anybody.
	People came to our page willingly.
	They liked and followed our page because they wanted to see our content.
	They wanted to see our videos.
	The least thing that uh Mark Duncan Brook can do is have the common courtesy to give the send those notifications to those people that want to see our content.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	That's unbelievable.
	That is so that is so outrageous.
	Now, i so what does it mean like if somebody wanted to go to Facebook and like Diamond and Silk and get Diamond and Silk videos that you guys put out, which are so popular listen, they're so popular.
	I had you closing out my show many nights on Hannity.
	I mean, uh and the audience absolutely craves them and loves them and they love when you're on and and people have been writing me saying, you know, why haven't you stood up for your friends Diamond and Silk yet?
	And because I'm a little slow to the game and I watched it last night on Laura Ingram too, but we had already had your book, but I'm like, I just can't believe this is the world we live in.
	So w what do you plan on doing here?
	What is the you know we can't believe it.
	It's appalling.
	Listen to me, Sean.
	And I have to c I have to just say this here.
	We're two conservative women minorities.
	For you to deem and say that we are unsafe.
	We're women.
	Diamond and Silk is women.
	We're not no plate, we not no cup.
	We are two African American women who love our country and love our president.
	You forgot that you're two very, very, very shy and soft spoken women.
	No, we're not we're not shy now.
	We gonna tell the truth.
	That's right.
	And they don't like that.
	They are upset that, you know, the president won this election through social media.
	That's right.
	He pushed everything on social media.
	We was never in the mainstream media.
	They don't like that.
	That's right.
	And Sean C, we're two black chicks that's down with politics.
	And if Martin Glauckenberg don't get it together, his Facebook is gonna be the face without the book or the book without the pages.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	Well, uh it you gotta imagine, I mean, if that's what it's gonna be, if it's gonna be basically an an attack on conservatives and conservative viewpoints, then I'm I'm I'm sitting here as a conservative.
	Why would I even want to participate in all of this?
	You know, one of the things, who was it?
	It was uh Rich Flowery today had a column about this, and you know, he he's right because we've heard these apologies from Zuckerberg before in terms of violating America's privacy.
	You know, we knew back in twenty twelve during Obama's reelection that you know they had this this Cambridge analytic model that they had created and everybody praised them as absolute geniuses for all of this.
	Um they've had plenty of time, but their business model and granted the guys made billions and billions of dollars, but the business model, you know, also talks about, you know, g is based on rather really giving away people's personal information.
	That's problematic for me.
	Well, it is.
	Because see, we gave we trusted our information with Facebook, not for Facebook to sell it and give it away.
	And that Facebook is held responsible for it.
	And listen, we're let the chips fall where they may.
	That's right.
	Let the chips follow where they may, because we give you this is about money.
	That's why they're billionaires.
	This is about money for them.
	They could care less about our data.
	I'll sell it, I'll do this, I'll do that.
	They could they didn't protect it.
	They didn't protect it.
	The bu the buck stops with Mark Zuckerberg.
	He's gonna have to fix it.
	He's gonna have to fix this whole Facebook thing.
	And that seems to be very unsafe to me.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Well, listen, um, we on this show love you.
	If we can help you in any way, or if you need to get something out that you feel strongly about, you're always welcome here and you're always welcome on the TV show.
	And we'll do everything we can do.
	Now, how can people get a hold of your information if they're not gonna get it on Facebook?
	What's the best way?
	Oh, they go to Diamond and Silk dot com, okay, and make sure you all go get a ticket for the Chit Chat tour.
	We're gonna be in Greensboro, North Carolina.
	Diamond and Silk.
	When are you gonna be in Greensboro?
	Greensboro, North Carolina, yeah.
	May the fifth.
	May the fifth what do you take off most of the month of April?
	I mean, you just got to be.
	May the sixth is Greensboro.
	But we have other things planned in the month, so we have to plan it.
	Okay.
	You have to plan it in advance.
	All right.
	Well, uh, congratulations on your sold-out tour in in Pittsburgh.
	Um that's amazing.
	That's so good.
	Um, Diamond and Silk.com.
	We love you girls.
	Thank you.
	God bless you.
	You're amazing, and uh, we'll do anything we can do to help you always.
	Thank you so much.
	We love you.
	All right, eight hundred nine four one Sean Tollfree telephone number.
	Uh let's say hi to Matt is in Long Beach in New York on Long Island.
	What's up, Matt?
	How are you?
	Glad you called, sir.
	I'm great, Sean.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Yes, sir.
	Uh this whole Mueller Cul Cohen thing is extremely disturbing.
	Uh I'm you know, we'll say proud to say, but I'm I'm kinda happy to say that I voted for the president.
	But my question is, should I worry about them coming to my house and breaking down my door?
	Because honestly, the the the biggest problem in all of this is I I guess nobody knows what quote evidence that that Muller found that he went to Rosenstein with that Rosenstein then tipped off the Southern District.
	Uh you know, what did Jeff uh Jeff uh Sessions know when did he know?
	I I don't know.
	But all we know and all we're being told basically is it's related to Stormy Daniels.
	And my answer is where's the Russia collusion thing?
	And the biggest problem I have is uh do we not care about equal application of the laws in this country?
	Is there not a sense of prep proportionality in all of this?
	That's what we get lectured about as it relates to Hillary Clinton all the time.
	Nothing happens with Pfizer abuse.
	No, you know, all right, we have some people demoted, some people moved around, but the deep state is still intact.
	Andrew McCabe is gone.
	You know, but who got away with lying to the Pfizer court judges and purposely omitting pertinent information?
	How is it Hillary got away with the biggest obstruction of justice case I've ever seen in my life that you know they're getting people on lying to the FBI for crying out loud, and I'm I'm assuming in some cases people just didn't remember a hundred percent.
	Well, they seem to have forgotten about Hillary and how can you when did her lawyer's office ever get raided, raided?
	You know, what would the media's reaction be if it was that in if that was happening?
	So you got all of this now going on, and and I'll tell you, it it oughta look, I go back to my my original thing.
	Anybody that doesn't see this for what it is, they want to destroy and take down Trump and overturn a duly elected president, and it's not stopped since the day he won the election and even before he won the election.
	And it seems at points that that all sense of right, wrong, law, and justice are being cast aside.
	And it's bigger than criminalizing political differences.
	It's it's beyond that.
	It's another layer.
	It's weaponizing the most powerful tools in the intelligence community to do it with the highest people in power involved in the corruption and the abuse of power.
	And and I guess that's one of the reasons why we're not getting to the bottom of any of this.
	Well, I have to agree, and as I said, if you're going on a turkey hunt, you shouldn't be shooting Beaver.
	Well, look that's uh you did you actually go shooting in Long Beach, New York?
	I doubt it.
	You can shoot out in the marshes, but you have to use uh steel.
	All right, thank you, my friend.
	800 nine four one Sean Tollfree telephone number.
	We'll stay with the phones for the last half hour of the program.
	We have an amazing Hannity tonight at nine on the Fox News channel with a perspective I promise you're not getting anywhere else in the media.
	All right, let's get to our busy telephones here.
	Uh 800 941 Sean Tollfree number.
	A lot of people still wanting to respond to the to the Jimmy Kimmel incident.
	Marjorie is in Staten Island, New York.
	Marjorie on the all-new AM 710 W O R. Hi, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hi, Sean.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	You're welcome.
	Thank you.
	I know you pretty much put this subject to bed last night on your TV show, but um my two cents on the subject of Melania being on the receiving end of Kimmel's uh feeble attempt at humor.
	Um I think it was it's more troubling to Melania's supporters than uh than it is to her, and her lack of response to the subject just demonstrates um how small and insignificant Kimmel's.
	I don't think that's the case.
	Look, I um she's not really in a position to respond.
	Now just think for a second.
	Let's say Melania Trump, first lady, United States, she comes out and says something against Jimmy Kimmel, and it is it is it blows it up into this massive huge fight, big deal, etc.
	I just I it's not something that she's gonna do or really can do.
	And that's why I kind of saw it as a little bit of bullying on his part.
	I didn't really sense the apology was that sincere.
	He says it's sincere, I'll take his word for it.
	But you know, that's what that's what irked me the whole time about.
	If you know, if you're gonna fight with somebody, fight with somebody you can hit back.
	Yeah, I I got that from your Commentary that um that she wouldn't respond, but I don't know.
	I mean, what about him?
	What about the president?
	You know, he's he's not reluctant to uh offer his two cents on on matters, no matter how uh uh small.
	Well, listen, I agree.
	He he definitely can, but you know, sometimes in my life I have to make decisions.
	There's only so many wars I can fight at once.
	Does that make sense?
	Sure it does.
	You know, so a lot of times, like people will say things or what's his name, uh the dumb and dumber actor.
	What's what is that guy's name?
	Um Mr. Culture himself, Jim Carrey.
	Jim Carrey.
	Yeah, so he's I guess he's into painting now.
	I've always thought he was a weirdo.
	I've never his humor doesn't work for me.
	I know a lot of people like him.
	Uh even my kids actually like some of his dumb and dumber movies, which I don't know, I don't know how to interpret that.
	But but you know, so he draws a painting of of me, obviously not flattering and you know, talks about the cultural rot of people like Hannity or something to that effect.
	I'm paraphrasing.
	And I'm like, really?
	Mr. Dumb and Dumber.
	But I'm thinking to myself, uh, go ahead, draw the painting.
	I don't care.
	I'm not gonna sit there and you know, I believe in freedom of speech.
	I know that people don't like my views.
	Uh I accept it.
	I dish it out four hours a day, and if I feel like picking a fight with somebody or hitting back, I'll do it.
	Otherwise, they're frankly, oftentimes they're just not worth the effort.
	There's too much stuff I want to talk about, and they're not exactly high on the priority list.
	All right, we'll take a break.
	Back to our phones when we get back.
	Marjorie, thank you.
	800 941 Sean Tollfree telephone number, you want to be a part of the program.
	Uh, we have more on the other news of the day.
	We have more on Syria, more on Michael Cohn, and anything else that's on your mind as we continue.
	All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800 941 Sean.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	All right, so many of you want to be uh on the air.
	Let's get to our phones.
	Mike in Santa Barbara.
	I lived there once, way long ago, uh on Chapala Street.
	You're you ever go down there, Mike?
	Oh, yes.
	Uh is that place chubby's that used to make hamburgers, cheeseburgers still there?
	It is still there.
	Oh, yeah.
	That place is almost as good as In and Out.
	I'm just saying.
	It's pretty it's pretty good.
	It's pretty good for sure.
	What's going on?
	How are you today?
	Well, th well, uh fine.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Um, what I was calling about was I'm wondering why no one at all is asking this massive question.
	When Comey went to brief Trump about the dossier at Trump Tower in January 2017, he knew for certain at that time, without any doubt, that that dossier was paid for by Hillary Clinton.
	And why massive question is why did he not tell Trump that important fact?
	I don't mean to give you a hard time, but we we have brought this up repeatedly.
	And you this is a very key point.
	Not only did they not bring it up and did they know, but Comey also knew that that that un what he in January of 2017.
	Here's the timeline.
	He told Trump at Trump Tower when Trump was president-elect before he was sworn in that the dossier existed, that it was salacious and it was unverified.
	But yet three months earlier in October, it was being used as a Pfizer in a Pfizer application, even though the FBI protocol and FISA law mandates that it be verified.
	They never they never verified, they never corroborated, they never followed FBI protocols, and they never told the Pfizer court judge that Hillary bought and paid for it, all of which they knew.
	Now it turns out not only was it not verified, a lot of it turned out to be false.
	And then we know what Comey said three months later is exactly the opposite of what the DOJ and FBI were telling the Pfizer court.
	So Comey is a liar.
	It's just which case did he lie in.
	And my guess is he lied to Trump.
	My guess is he knew pretty darn well in October, felt the same way in January, and wanted that, wanted that warrant to keep going, and it ended up getting renewed.
	We believe Rod Rosenstein also.
	He's he's up to his eyeballs in pretty much everything too, that he was part of the renewal of the Pfizer application and the Pfizer warrant.
	And again, they didn't again they knew it was an unverified dossier that I'll quote the Grassley Graham memo was the bulk of the FISA application.
	And Rod Rosenstein doesn't want to hand over the unredacted application to Devin Nunes and other members of Congress for congressional oversight.
	But meanwhile, they'll just go in and raid Michael Cohn's office.
	The double standard stinks to high heaven.
	You're right.
	Any other points on that?
	Well, just to Just imagine if Comey had told Trump on January 2017 that Hillary had paid for that dossier.
	The entire meme about that dossier would be completely and totally different.
	And that's why Comey never told him.
	And that shows his malicious intent.
	Correct.
	And James Comey's gonna be out on the I'm great uh tour.
	We got some plans for Jim Comey next week, by the way, when his book comes out.
	We're actually excited about it.
	I can't wait to get my copy and contribute.
	And the book will look his book book is gonna be widespread.
	He's gonna go on George Stephanopoulos.
	We'll make sure to give George the right questions to ask and put some pressure on him, and we'll go from there.
	And then he'll make a tour of the liberal media and avoid Fox News and avoid this program because he doesn't really want tough questions.
	And he'll make his millions of dollars.
	And you know, James Comey, in my view, probably he's done one of two things.
	Either the book's a dud and he just regurgitates everything he's ever said, or James Comey ends up implicating himself, which is just beyond stupid.
	I've got to believe his lawyers vetted it.
	Even the most incompetent lawyer vetting this would not allow him to implicate himself, but who knows?
	You know, um arrogance goes a long way uh for the negative in life.
	All right, back to our phones.
	Amy is in Colorado.
	Amy, hi, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
	Hey, Sean, thank you for taking my call.
	Um, just a couple quick comments.
	I think that the whole um raid of of his office completely violates attorney client privilege.
	And I don't know how that could um be let go of.
	Um, the president was completely right when he tweeted out about that.
	What do you think about it?
	Look, they're they're gonna tell you that there is an exception and an exemption to that, and and that's gonna be their story, and that they're gonna stick to it.
	You know, as I said at the beginning of the program, look, this is a concerted effort to reverse the outcome of a presidential election in this country.
	You know, use any term you want.
	They are trying to get rid of Donald Trump.
	And if they can get information, again, this this went from Mueller supposedly finding something related to Michael Cohn, uh, goes to Rod Rosenstein, Rosenstein knows this, so further taint the investigation.
	So they partner up with the Southern District of New York, one of the most aggressive uh districts in the entire country, and they do this early morning raid on his home, his office, and his hotel room.
	And and nobody knew it was coming, that I can tell you.
	Not unlike the way they showboated in the Paul Manafort case.
	And you know, then the question is, well, now they're just gonna work backwards.
	You know, they they're supposedly having a team that's put together, and that team put together is is not gonna allow the reading of anything that might implicate the the attorney client relationship, but I don't believe that, and I don't have faith in them.
	And you know, well, some people might say, well, how could you not have faith?
	Because it because I I've seen what's happened at this point, and that's how many times has nothing occurred.
	How many times has Hillary gotten a free pass by these very seen same people?
	The whole justice system is now tainted, it's now corrupt.
	And this this represents a threat to the constitutional foundation of this country, which is law and order, equal justice under the law, equal application of the law.
	All of which is not happening here, as evidenced by all of the the crimes we know there were committed, and nothing ever happens.
	So it's only if you have an R Republican, a C conservative next to your name, or a T, Trump next to your name, does it seem to matter?
	Or if you're associated with conservatives, Republicans, or Trump.
	And I uh, you know, as I've been saying, this is the biggest abuse of power scandal in the history of the country.
	The media is ignoring it.
	One of the reasons Muller's so empowered and all these people are so empowered is because the media's they're just eating this up and soaking this up because they they are all things Trump.
	When I when I stated a long time ago that there were five separate forces against this president from the get-go, I was not wrong.
	The media, Democratic Party, weak Republicans, never Trumpers, and the deep state, all of which are converging here, and and again, they want to reverse the outcome of a uh duly elected president.
	That's all that's happening here.
	It's not even more complicated than that, sadly.
	Um, and all the evidence proves it.
	Every step of the way, every day that we go on, we now see more of the same.
	All right, I appreciate it.
	800 941 Sean, toll free telephone number.
	Uh Shelley is in Raleigh in North Carolina.
	Shelley, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Oh, hi, Sean.
	Oh, I'm excited to be talking to you.
	Well, thank you.
	I uh all I can say is I I've had it.
	I've absolutely had it.
	I am so tired of the attacks on the president and his family and these comedians and uh late night hosts that are beginning to disguise cruelty for comedy, the special investigation, Facebook, you know, blocking all the sites that I want to go to.
	Um the fact that I can't even talk to my liberal friends anymore and have a rational conversation without getting blocked from them because I disagree with them.
	You know, but at the end of the day, I I can tune out some of this noise, but what I really can't deal with is the fact that half of America and half of the government want our president and our country to fail.
	How how do we how do people get up every day and go, you know what?
	We got a 50-50 shot at this.
	It's something's gotta happen.
	And I and I try to think of things that I can do.
	And you know, uh I'm just almost ready to take a page out of the uh liberal book and say, let's march on Washington and let's tell them we have had it.
	I I don't know where the it's probably all of that and more is coming.
	You know, uh I I showed last week on TV all the times liberals have used the term s civil war, and I talked about, well, we're headed towards a point where nobody's gonna be able to talk to anybody and you're gonna be it'll be an political civil war in the country, and I even said verbal, and I said you're gonna be throwing mashed potatoes and broccoli at your family and your friends.
	It's it's now happening.
	It's you know, and it's and it's all a matter of America's been fed now for well over a year a false narrative and lies that get regurgitated on almost a minute by minute basis on on some cable networks.
	It's it is the sole focus of newspapers like the New York Times, Washington Post, et cetera.
	It is the sole focus of every liberal commentator in the country.
	And in spite all of this time, you know, all of this, you know, we got it on maybe not now.
	The hysteria, the col the allegations, the wild, you know, um the wild conspiracy theories that have been that the web that has been built here, you know.
	I the at the end of the day, this these are very dangerous times, like Alan Dershowitz said.
	Um if we're gonna have rule of law and equal ac uh equal application of the law and attorney client privilege, we're now at a really important tipping point.
	And this is where you would think civil libertarians would join us, but they're not.
	It just makes me sad because you know, people criticize the president for tweeting out his frustration.
	I don't know, a human being on earth that could withstand the criticism and the and the mocking that this man you know goes through every day and his family, and I just think God, you know, it it takes a strong person, but how do we let him know we're behind him?
	You know, you've got the platform, you've got a great show, Fox has got great shows.
	There's there's a lot of great conservative sites.
	But you know, I just I just keep saying that.
	Listen, I I I can tell you that he's uniquely qualified for this moment in this job because you you cannot, and I will tell you, I I uh I guarantee you, as a matter of fact, that there are good people running for president or thinking about or contemplating that would be great presidents or be great public servants.
	They're looking at this crap and they're saying, never.
	Why would I ever give up my cushy job, my fun life, and and go uh take this type of abuse.
	There uh peep people are not going to ever want to serve, and I don't blame them in any way, shape, matter, or form.
	But the way things are are switching, notice the president's never had higher approval ratings.
	How ironic is that?
	And and it's been it's been an onslaught, you know, for the last six to eight weeks.
	I mean, uh look, I'm not gonna mince words here.
	This is a full on, never-ending assault to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump.
	That's it.
	Well, and I told everybody like buckle up.
	This is gonna be a rough ride.
	This is not gonna be easy.
	One thing you can't do is just say, ah, forget it, I give up.
	Because you give up, they win.
	They win, then you know, just shred your constitution and the rule of law, goodbye.
	Yeah, I'm not giving up.
	Um if if I have to do it by myself and paint signs and make a float.
	I'm gonna end up in DC on the streets one day.
	And my signs are gonna say, enough is enough.
	I love this country.
	I know we're in a bad place, but it's time that we start insisting that, you know, America is not a place where we allow people to fail, and especially our president.
	And I'm so sick and tired of Congress wanting America to fail.
	It's time to do that.
	You know, that's the isn't that the great irony.
	If they're successful, how does this help the country?
	Exactly.
	What they're fighting for, I don't think it even occurs to them.
	You know, um, I I talked about how bad the presidency of Obama was.
	What do we go back to that?
	Oh, it's not good for the country.
	Uh, let not your heart be trouble, Shelley.
	You know, things have a way of working themselves out, and at the end of the day, you know, we've got to have confidence and a belief that this country and and our people are smarter than those that may want to corrupt things.
	Uh, let's go to our uh Kurt is in sort St. George in Utah.
	What's up, Kurt?
	How are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hey, Sean, thank you for taking my call, my friend.
	You're very welcome.
	Thank you.
	I just wanted to let you know that I I have uh I have a liberal friend.
	I have quite a few of them.
	Some of them still talk to me.
	Yeah.
	And I have some liberal friends too.
	Some of them don't talk to me.
	So he and I, we had a we had a little competition where we would write down our grievances and and then try to debunk each other, right?
	Mm-hmm.
	And he had he handed me this sheet of paper with so much crap on it.
	Right.
	You know, Stormy Daniels, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, and all this crap.
	I handed him one with two words.
	Watch Hannity.
	I bet he loved that.
	Oh, I challenged him.
	So we sat there and watched it together, and he was on Google trying to debunk you the whole time.
	Yeah.
	And he couldn't do it.
	He couldn't do it.
	So now, because of that, now I handed him some books that he had to read.
	That was part of the book.
	Listen, let me just give you a little little factoid, and I gotta run.
	If if he could debunk me, trust me, there are people that are paid to try and say Hannity's wrong every day.
	So, you know, in that sense, I have to be.
	I'm not a nobody's a hundred percent, but we have to be on our game every day.
	And and that's why in so many ways, I'm uh there's not one person, really very few people in the media that like me at all, and I don't like them too much either.
	So it actually works out.
	But you know, listen, if I get something wrong, I will humbly apologize and we'll move on.
	I promise you that.
	I'm glad that worked out for you.
	Maybe I should call your friend one day.
	That'd make that'd be fun.
	All right, Hannity, tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
	New details emerging in the raid of Michael Cohn's home.
	We're also watching the situation in Syria.
	We have Alan Dershowitz is back with us, Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett, Jason Chafetz, who's been amazing on this.
	Also we'll check in with General Tony Tata, Daniel Hoffman, Dan Bon Gino, Rick Unger.
	Don't miss a minute.
	News you won't get elsewhere.
	Nine Eastern tonight on Hannity.
	We'll see you then.
	We'll see you back here tomorrow.
