Hello, how are you?
Anything going on in the news today?
Any liberals listening because they're dying to hear what Sean Hannity has to say.
A part of me is uh extraordinarily in a state of humor over a lot of the hypocrisy.
Uh I gotta thank Rush and Mark Levin.
They have both been amazing uh in their support of me.
And I I honestly have said this on stage many, many times.
I I can't imagine an America where we don't have guys like Rush and Mark Levin.
And and uh and others, even some of you talk show hosts that hate me.
Um I I'm gonna miss people on the list, but you know, those that really work to make America a better place, believe in the constitution, equal justice under the law, equal application under the law, that see-through the the absolute uh agenda-driven news media,
an extension of all things liberal, all things democratic party, those that understand the nature of the deep state and a corrupt media and a a vapid democratic party and and weak Republicans, and they just freely, you know, that they play such an important role um in all of this, and and they these guys did some in many ways, they just laid out such a powerful cases in their own way.
Um, that I'm very appreciative to Mark and to Rush.
Thank you both.
Um my staff is also incredible.
Um I you know, I don't mention Hannity.com, which annoys all the hard people that work on Hannity.com every day.
So we kind of have Scott Shannon doing it in one of the promos.
Um, Linda, I'm assuming you orchestrated this has your fingerprints all over it, and now you're gonna say everybody played a part in it, and I know that's probably true.
And we have the best article I think we've ever put up on Hannity.com.
If you haven't been there recently, it's new, it's improved.
We're really proud of it.
Um, the amount of traffic we've been getting is insane, and and we're really working every day.
We've hired a bunch of people to do a better job, and it's it's really coming together very nicely, and I'm really happy about it.
Um, and it's called the head the headline is liberal amnesia.
Mainstream media forgets Obama officials' deep ties to president.
Huh.
And then you read it and you see the mainstream media's nonstop obsession with the president's personal attorney on display all week this week, you know, breathlessly covering, you know, his relationships and on and on and on.
You have the Washington Post publishing an article outlining conflicted relationships.
They even wrote this back in 2013.
So what to make of all the family ties between members of this phony, you know, feigning outrage corrupt left-wing media in this country in the Obama administration.
You know, how many I guarantee you, as I mentioned some of these, I know Rush did mention many of these today.
I don't want to repeat what he did, but it's it's worth mentioning.
I bet until today, you probably never knew that Claire Shipman of ABC, a senior correspondent, was married to the White House press secretary and you know, suck up uh what was his name, Jay Carney.
I'm just guessing that you probably didn't know that, or the CNN president was married to Hillary Clinton's deputy secretary uh at the time, or that the CBS president David Rose, well, the top Obama officials, Ben Rose Rhodes.
No, of course, he changed the Benghazi talking points, or you know, the head of ABC, the president, guy by the name of Ben Sherwood, is, you know, married to and oh or siblings of Obama special advisor Elizabeth Sherwood.
You know, well, maybe it doesn't mean anything, but they certainly should be disclosing all of that after all, shouldn't they?
On some level, shouldn't they be telling the people every time?
You know, the one I get the biggest kick out of is George Stephanopoulos himself.
George Stephanopoulos, go look at the movie The War Room.
You know, he's screaming at reporters over so-called bimbo eruption, saying they'll never work in this town again.
And then, of course, Clinton press secretary and all things Clinton, and he's like their go-to political guy over at ABC News.
I mean, if you didn't, how does he get the first Comey interview?
And then the questions that I outlined last night that he didn't bring up in that interview, they're breathtaking.
James Comey admitting that the dossier, the Clinton bought and paid for dossier, they pay a foreign national that gets Russian uncorroborated, unverified information that that dossier that the FBI director still to this day has no idea.
It's possible it's true.
I have no idea.
Okay, let's assume that he spoke the truth to George Stephanopoulos.
He had no idea if it's true.
Then how does he explain that that dossier was used while he was the FBI director to quote the Grassley Graham memo as the bulk of information to obtain a Pfizer warrant against a Trump campaign associate weeks leading into an election and to spy on an American citizen, and he didn't verify it.
He didn't corroborate it, which the FISA law would would insist on and standards would insist on, and FBI protocols would would be mandated in that particular case, but they presented it to the FISA judge anyway, and withheld the crucial information, which they knew that Hillary bought and paid for that thing.
Now, that to me is I don't think any of you listening to this program would ever dare go before a judge with information that, well, it could be true, and say, well, it could be true, judge, and present it as fact.
Because in that case, the standard is much higher to get a warrant to spy on an American citizen.
And remember, the Pfizer court had previously said no to a Pfizer warrant as it relates to the Trump campaign associate.
And then Andrew McCabe, the fired deputy FBI director, Comey's guy.
Well, he's the one that said without the dossier that they never verified, without that dossier that Clinton paid for, without that dossier that had Russian government lies in it that was put together by a foreign national.
I thought foreign nationals weren't supposed to influence our election uh process.
You know, he said without the dossier, there is no, there is no FISA application, even.
Now we got this whole big massive keeping it in the family, the media's relationship with the Obama administration.
And it has everything about CNN and MBC News and MSNBC and CBS News.
I'm gonna break this all down on TV tonight because I don't think anybody else is gonna do it.
I mean, the level of conflict is so clear and it's so obvious and it's so severe that I think the American people have a right to know all of these things.
You know, media figures hired by the Obama administration.
You got Richard Stengel, he was the former man managing editor of Time Magazine, became the became the under-secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs at the State Department, and I mentioned Jay Carney.
You got Eric Dash, who used to work at the New York Times, became a public affairs officer at Treasury, and a bunch of other people.
Look, it just let me tell you what I do know about the swamp and the sewer that is Washington.
All of these people all know each other.
Look at the conflicts.
Look at the relationship between Comey, Rod Rosenstein, Robert Muller, Andrew Weissman, Comey with Struck and Page writing the exoneration for Hillary in May, not interviewing Hillary until July, two days later exonerating her, but it had been written months before.
The guy that conducts the interview with Hillary Clinton, when we know she committed crimes, ends up being Peter Strck, the Trump hater that he is.
There's so much conflict, and the media absolutely ignores all of it.
And then, well, Hannity, you know, yeah, I did have attorney-client conversations mostly over real estate.
You know, it just is so corrupt.
It is so such a double standard, and it is so obnoxious on so many different levels, but it's not never gonna go away.
Because the mission, when you really look at it, is been and has been to never let Trump get elected, and then from the day he was elected to undermine Donald Trump.
You know, forget that, you know, there's news out today that is positive, just like news last week that let's see, oh, China agreed to concessions to make trade freer and fairer for American auto manufacturers and to protect intellectual property rights and other concessions made by the president of China.
You don't hear about those good news stories.
You know, we now have the Larry Cudlow going out there now, the projections to slow the deficit because of the economic growth because of the Trump plan, which happened under Kennedy and Reagan, it's now happening under Donald Trump.
It looks like it's going to slow deficit growth by 2.5 trillion because GDP is beginning to surge.
You know, we have a Reuters story today.
Housing starts surged more than expected in March.
Nobody in the media will ever talk about that.
They're two of, you know, apparently Stormy Daniels gave an interview today.
That that is the top priority of news.
You know, or forget about the conflicts, you know, apparently one of the judges in one of these cases uh, you know, officiated at George Soros' wedding.
No, there's no conflict in there like George Soros has an agenda.
You know, let's not talk about any of these things at all.
Or the judge in the case was, you know, it just goes on and on and on.
You get my point here.
And as I go over all the news every day, you can see it every day.
There's very few of us that are out there that are seeking the truth.
Because what we know are facts here, and the media is ignored the biggest abuse of power scandal in the history of this country.
Hillary did, in fact, use a uh uh unsecure server to circumvent congressional oversight that was hacked by at least five or six foreign intelligence agencies compromising national security.
We know that it's illegal, a violation of the law 18 USC 793 to mishandle or destroy classified information.
And I defy anybody out there that if you have subpoenaed emails that you get to just go out and delete 33,000 of them, acid wash your hard drive, have uh somebody that works for you beat up your devices to destroy any memory on them, and you tell me that you're not gonna get arrested for obstruction of justice of some kind.
And then, of course, when you have your friends doing the investigation and writing your exoneration beforehand, you're in good shape.
It doesn't matter.
And for all the talk, you know, about Trump Russia collusion, how is it possible?
It's not just an irony, it's twisted that there was collusion.
There was Russian interference.
Devin Nunes was warning about it in 2014.
But specifically to one campaign.
You know, all the talk, we can't have foreign nationals or entities influencing our elections.
Well, fusion GPS, they hit it for a year.
Nobody said they had to turn over the information who paid for this dossier.
Anyway, they funneled the money through a law firm to make it look like a legal expense, Perkins Cuey, and then they're paying Michael Steele, a foreign agent, uh, to get Russian lies and Russian information to influence an election.
Never verified, corroborated, and used as a basis to get a warrant to spy on an American citizen who happens to be an associate of the Trump campaign in the lead up to the election, and we have admissions that that there were people working with the media in this country to disseminate what was unfarified, uncorroborated, just to help Hillary Clinton get elected.
I don't need lectures from any of these people in the media because they've never done their job and told you these stories.
And that's what makes Us different.
That's what makes this show and the TV show successful, because everything we've exposed is true.
And it's at a spec a spectacular level in terms of failure for the American people.
And by the way, God forbid they ever care about the men and women, the forgotten men and women in poverty and on food stamps and out of the labor force that are now getting jobs.
They don't care that we have a shot at denuclearization in the Korean peninsula.
They don't care that we might have an historic opportunity for Middle East peace with the Israelis aligning with the Egyptians, Jordanians, the Saudis, and the Emirates against Iranian hegemony.
You know, God forbid we have a president that actually means he'll stand up to the evil use of chemical weapons and stands by that promise and doesn't want nation building.
And if he's so concerned as president about what Donald, what Vladimir Putin thinks, I don't think that bombing would have occurred last Friday.

All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Um let me just go to what I think is some really important things that the media is never gonna touch on here that we really need to.
And as I watch Comey now, it's funny to see how the left is turning on him because there is deep bitter resentment that James Comey even created an appearance that he was trying to investigate.
In my opinion, we now know otherwise here.
And, you know, that's why watching this interview with Comey, you know, why wasn't the issue of confirming the dossier was used as the primary source of a Pfizer Warren?
Well, George Stephanopoulos never got to that.
You know, when you spy on an American, that's why we have FISA laws.
That that is to protect Americans against the powerful tools of intelligence that we give high-ranking officials and the intelligence community and the FBI Justice Department, et cetera.
We give it to them to spy on terrorists, to those people that may bring harm to America.
There are stringent and strict guidelines in terms of obtaining warrants.
But in this particular case, they handed a judge information that they never bothered to corroborate.
And you see that, well, Comey obviously thought Clinton was going to win.
Why did he make any decision based on what he thought the outcome would be?
You know, why did why did the Grassley Graham, if that's the bulk of information, and he still doesn't know if it's true?
This is a scary thing if you believe in the rule of law, the constitution, equal justice under the law, equal application under the laws, if you care about the right to privacy.
And it's amazing, you know, anybody that's ever done legal work for me getting phone call.
Did you ever work for Sean Hannity?
What was it about?
I like, really?
Well, let's ask all your lawyers or friends of yours what your life is all about.
The level of intrusion is beyond anything I've ever seen.
You know, and Alan Dershowitz was right.
So they should have, you know, in many ways, they don't care about civil liberties anymore.
That's the sad thing.
All right, 25 now till the uh hour 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
Um, how deeply have people investigated this law firm Perkins Cooey?
And uh others, you know, their partner, well, I think it was what's his name, Mark Elliott?
Is that his name?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure, right?
You know, in a scandal that otherwise, you know, the media's singular focus is, you know, they they have not decided that it's a big deal yet, that in fact we've had abuse of surveillance and unmasking and leaking raw intelligence.
They they haven't figured that out that that's a really dangerous position for any country to be in, just like they haven't figured out that you remember Fusion GPS for they they tried for the longest time not to reveal that it was Hillary and the DNC that paid for the phony Russian dossier put together by a foreign national.
I didn't see a lot of media outrage in that particular case.
It's pretty much non-existent, or an unverified dossier used to get a PISA warrant on an American citizen, Trump campaign associate in the lead up to an election, paid for by Hillary and never verified, or that in fact the fix was in with a bunch of Trump haters as it relates to the email crimes that Hillary committed, which I am sure of.
You know, but if you actually, you know, look at the Perkins CUI money, and think about that.
The money is literally funneled through this law firm to fusion GPS.
Now, why is that?
Is that to circumvent, you know, Mark Elliott, by the way, represented what, Governor Roy Cooper in North Carolina post-election?
He is uh, you know, look you look at it, he's on the Perkins Couie website, but he also served as a lead counsel for Senator Al Franken.
Now, but the media never seemed to care that that money, some 12 million dollars is funneled through a law firm because then you get to characterize it as a legal expense when really what it was was an operation designed to get dirt on Donald Trump using a foreign national that's not supposed to influence our elections and using Russian sources that have never been confirmed.
Has the media ever cared about that?
You know, 2016, you look at this whole scheme that they pulled off and the money funnel through the DNC, which of course we know that Donna Brazil was claiming that Hillary was in charge of that money.
By the way, another thing you should be concerned at NBC News is reporting that, and I can't be sure because it's NBC, but they are reporting that the FBI actually wiretapped phone calls between the president and Michael Cohn.
All right, but what authority does the FBI get to wiretap a president of the United States with his own personal attorney?
Does that raise questions of attorney client privilege?
You know, the FBI just didn't do surveillance on Cohn.
They were recording his phone calls at that point.
So I think that's a big issue that nobody will ever bring up in the media.
You know, um, I I actually a friend of mine calls me and goes, Yeah, you have to put on Rush, put on Rush today.
And I put it on, I was just, it was early into his show.
And he went on a absolutely brilliant monologue about how, you know, people, the the conflicts of interest regarding the being laid up by people who accept an up close personal relationship with Obama any day of the week or Hillary any day of the week.
They love this people.
Okay, I want the president to succeed.
I don't hide that fact from anybody.
And by the way, so does most of the country.
If you care about the country, and I'm not withholding anything from anybody about anything here.
And it doesn't matter what my explanations happen to be, or that I've used attorneys in my life.
You know, what it is is the deep state, those that hate Trump are just going to focus on those parts of the narrative that work best for them.
And I've known these people in Washington for a long, long time.
And when you talk about Swamp, you're talking about congressmen and congresswomen and senators and and all these people that work for them and their staves, and they're all best friends with each other.
In other words, you have all the media people sucking up to the staff of this senator, that congressman, that congresswoman, et cetera.
And the list goes on and on and on about how conflicted all these people are.
They go out to dinner, they date each other, whatever else they do with each other.
I don't know, and I don't really care.
It's none of my business.
You know, but all of a sudden you would think that this is a this, you know, you just watch the whole thing.
It's it's pretty no, it's pretty revealing in the sense that I think it just reveals the media for everything that we have said the media is.
And to sit back and to watch it all unfold is is more than I can tell you.
It is beyond surreal.
Now I want to move on a little bit here.
You know, one of the reasons that we are where we are today, in terms of learning about the deep state and learning about what has gone on behind the scenes and a lot of people finding out about Comey and Comey's relationship with Mueller and Mueller's relationship with Comey and Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe and Comey and Peter Strzok and Lisa Page,
and we know that the former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, you know, you got this relationships that just are intertwined going back forever.
Anyway, so Comey gives his first interview since Trump fires him to George Stephanopoulos, who's the biggest Clinton sycophant in the country, and you've got seven current or former FBI agents and officials speaking throughout and immediately after the broadcast about their anger.
And I can tell you that there are people in the intelligence community and the FBI that are absolutely appalled at what Comey is doing and what has been done and the lack of equal justice under the law in all of this.
One former FBI official sent a bourbon emoji, and it began as another sent the Beers Cheers emoji, and the responses were increasingly angry and despondent as this interview played out.
Now, this was a reported by the Daily Beast.
You know, Hoover is spinning in his grave, said one FBI official, former FBI official, making money from a total failure.
You know, when the promo aired announcing Comey's upcoming interview with the view, then they got even angrier.
Good lord, what a self-serving, self-centered jackash, true to form.
He thinks he's the smartest guy around.
And a current FBI official said it was bizarre that Comey seemed so pleased with the whole episode.
It's how happy he looked on TV while cashing in on the biggest mistake in history, his mistake.
Jim Comey made that mistake.
We all just wonder what could have been and we could have what we could have done to change it.
And then Comey, and this was in uh Byron York's piece in the Washington Examiner, told Congress, remember Michael Flynn didn't lie.
And apparently Peter Strzok, who also interviewed Hillary and Michael Flynn, says he didn't lie.
Well, now he says he did.
Now, last year, if you remember in closed door testimony before the House Intel Committee, then FBI director Comey testified that General Flynn didn't lie to FBI interrogators, and two prominent members of the Intelligence Committee have gone public about what Comey told them.
Speaking of Fox News, December 4th, 2017, former House Intel Committee member Peter King said, when director Comey came before us back in January or February 2017, he said, even then the FBI wasn't certain that General Flynn had lied or that he violated any law.
And Comey thought that maybe Flynn was trying to skirt something and that he didn't want to make it a political issue, but again, they were not certain at all that he was lying.
Well, how does somebody like that get indicted?
And three days earlier, Trey Gowdy offered the same assessment, telling Fox News that when Comey was questioned behind closed doors about whether General Flynn lied to the FBI, his answer was different than the conclusion reached by Mueller's prosecution team.
Now, the Washington examiners, Byron York, Comey is now changing his story.
And I didn't even pick this up.
And that is in his ABC interview, James Comey was asked about reports that he told Congress that the FBI agents who interviewed Trump, National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn did not think Flynn had lied to them, even though Flynn several months later pled guilty to one count of lying to the FBI.
I'm sure that was part of some plea deal.
Anyway, the exchange was Stefanopoulos says there's been some reporting.
At one point you told Congress that The agents who interviewed Mike Flynn didn't believe he had lied.
Comey says, Yeah, I saw that.
And that uh I don't know where that's coming from.
That uh unless I um I um and something that people misunderstood.
I don't remember even intending to say that, so my recollection is I never said that to nobody to anybody.
Well, in their findings from the Russia investigation released in advance of the still unreleased final report, Republicans on the House Intel Committee included finding number 22.
General Flynn pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the FBI regarding his December 6, 2016 conversation with a Russian ambassador, even though the FBI agents did not detect any deception during the Flynn interview.
It turns out that sources say the Comey House Intel meeting at issue was transcribed.
So there is a word for word record of what Comey was asked and what he said.
So it seems reasonable to infer that the finding number 22 doesn't contradict uh Comey and what he said in an interview, nor did lawmakers make the finding out of whole cloth.
You know, all of this is none of this would happen if we would just simply apply the law here.
You know, the big untold story is is really, really simple is that Hillary Clinton didn't want oversight.
Hillary Clinton put up a server that got hacked by foreign intelligence agencies, probably, if I had to guess Iran, China, the Russians, the North Koreans, and who else, God only knows who.
And that Hillary Clinton, as a result of this, violated the law.
And then when she was subpoenaed by Congress, she decided, and her people decided they were going to just delete some of the emails.
I think some of them have been recovered, but not all of them.
And 33,000 is a massive number of emails to delete and then claim they're about yoga, a wedding, a funeral funeral, and emailing with your husband who doesn't use email.
And then after that, just to make super sure, one of her, somebody that works for they acid wash the hard drive.
And then they beat it up with devices.
Now, those were crimes that were committed by any fair, objective, discernible application under the law.
And the destruction of that information is not only a crime in and of itself, but it's also obstruction of justice.
So now the investigation ensues.
And then you've got, okay, well, Hillary Clinton's working away through the primary.
She rigs the primary with Bernie Sanders.
I don't think there's anybody in the media that has given a flippin' rip about poor Bernie Sanders and all of his supporters that were lied to because the whole thing was rigged from the get go.
Anyway, Archie Prime.
I'm literally about to tell myself that I'm not kidding.
You better fix this shit right now.
I literally am gonna die.
I need an ambulance.
Anyway, so they fix the primary, and then we get to the issue of the investigation.
And the investigation, they start the exoneration.
That's in May.
They don't interview her till July.
The person that interviews her, one of the two is Peter Strzok, who we know along with Lisa Peg.
Oh, God, please God, he can't be elected.
He's the worst, blah, blah, blah.
And then, of course, they were corresponding some kind of insurance policy as it relates to Andrew McCabe, who had lied under oath, and that's why he was removed from office.
Why these two people still have a security clearance is beyond any understanding that I have either.
In retrospect, it seems like a brilliant move on his part that he shouldn't have been in that position.
Anyway, so for Hillary to continue as the Democratic Party nominee, she has to get these charges dropped.
This investigation dropped.
And that's what Jim Comey and people like Jim Comey and Peter Strzok were involved in.
And then we've got, well, worked on, I guess influencing the primary, you know, then they then the whole issue of the dossier gets built.
And we've hire a foreign national.
Christopher Steele, Christopher Steele gets the money funneled through Fusion GPS money that Hillary funneled through a law firm, Perkins Coey, that the DNC that she's controlling the finances of funnels through Perkins Coey.
And then the money is given to Fusion GPS.
So I assume pays Christopher Steele.
Christopher Steele gets, you know, these Russian sources to come up with the most salacious lies about Donald Trump.
Nobody verifies them, nobody corroborates them.
As a matter of fact, many of them by now have been debunked.
Well, then they use that as the basis, the bulk of information, to get a Pfizer warrant.
And then ever since then, you've got these forces that I've described.
You've got the deep state, you got a corrupt media that has never ever investigated any of this.
It's the biggest corruption, abuse of power scandal in our lifetime.
And they they go for every little tiny superfluous detail they can about any conservative and ignore the big, huge, massive fish that literally you could catch by just casting your line out.
I mean, that's why I say journalism's dead.
And that's where we find ourselves today.
Unbelievable times.
If you care about the country, you should be worried.
If you care about the Constitution, the rule of law in this country, you should be worried.
I can't give you any sense that this is all going to work out the right way and the truth will finally all come out.
Because the media has no interest in that happening.
Democrats have no interest in that happening.
Deep state high powerful actors have no interest in that happening.
So there's like a few of us.
And then you might as well go out there for good measure and smear every conservative in the process.
Which also, you know, is happening on a daily basis.
He had impressively quaffed hair that looks to be all his.
I confess I stared at it pretty closely, and my reaction was must take a heck of a lot of time in the morning.
His tie was too long as it always is.
He looked slightly orange up close with small white um half moons under his eyes, which I assume are from tanning goggles.
I think he was wrong from the get-go.
I mean, I criticized him in July when he went out and did his big press conference and said, Oh, they weren't going to charge Secretary Clinton.
And then I criticized him again in October and took some heat from some Republicans when he reopened the investigation.
I think he was wrong throughout this.
And understand what he did, too, Brian.
Mr. Comey misled the American people in both investigations, the Clinton and the Trump investigation.
With Clinton, he's at the urging of the attorney general, calls the Clinton investigation a matter, not an investigation, when everyone knew it was an investigation.
And then with President Trump, he allows the country to believe the president is under investigation when in fact he wasn't, and had been told by James Comey that he wasn't.
So I think this guy just messed everything up from the get-go.
And frankly, I think he doesn't have a whole lot of credibility.
If we know where Loretta Lynch was with this, she was meeting with uh former President Clinton three days before Secretary Clinton was supposed to be interviewed.
So uh we know that there was probably that pressure.
But again, Andy McCabe doesn't have a whole lot of credibility either.
And I think as you look at all this, the thing that bothers Americans so much, and certainly bothers the president, bothers me, is the double standard.
I mean, Mike Flynn, while not under oath, makes a false statement to the FBI and gets indicted.
Andy McCabe lies four times to the FBI, twice under oath to Michael Horowitz, and nothing happens to him.
That's the kind of stuff that drives Americans crazy.
So the whole the double standard with how Cheryl Mills, Secretary Clinton's lawyer, was treated compared to Michael Cohen and the raid that took place last week on his personal and business locations.
I mean, that's the stuff that makes Americans so frustrated.
Critics say the fix was in from the start.
President Trump says you were writing the conclusion, even before you interviewed Hillary Clinton.
That is just wrong.
Anybody who's actually done investigations knows that if you've been investigating something for almost a year and you don't have a general sense of where it's likely to end up, you should be fired because you're incompetent.
And to those who say you should have brought Hillary Clinton before a grand jury?
We would prefer, with a subject of investigation, to do an informal interview.
A lot more flexibility there.
They're still required to tell the truth.
You write the President Trump is unethical.
Untethered to the truth.
Is Donald Trump unfit to be president?
Yes.
But not in the way I often hear people talk about it.
I don't buy the stuff about him being mentally incompetent or early stages of dementia.
He strikes me as a person of above average intelligence who's tracking conversations and knows what's going on.
I don't think he's medically unfit to be president.
I think he's morally unfit to be president.
Person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville, who talks about and treats women like they're pieces of meat, who lies constantly about matters big and small, and insists the American people believe it.
That person's not fit to be president of the United States on moral grounds.
Our president must embody respect and adhere to the values that are at the core of this country.
The most important being truth.
This president is not able to do that.
He is morally unfit to be president.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show.
Glad you're with us, right down our toll-free uh telephone number.
It's 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, part of the interview, I guess, fluffball interview, James Comey got with Clinton Sicophant, uh, George Stephanopoulos, talk about a a conflict.
I mean, here's the guy that got Hillary off the hook.
Here's the guy that used the Hillary bought and paid for dossier.
His first interview goes to George Stephanopoulos, you know, the guy that's in the movie The War Room getting rid of bimbo eruptions and former press secretary and of of the Clintons.
You can't get it any closer, which means it's no surprise that the main questions were never asked.
Important questions.
Anyway, Jim Jordan is on the House Freedom uh caucus.
Uh, how are you, sir?
Welcome aboard.
Uh I would like to know number one, how is it possible that James Comey still doesn't know that the uh about the contents, the veracity of the contents of this dossier that Clinton bought and paid for that a foreign national put together using Russian sources, he still doesn't know it's true.
But as we learned from the Grassley Graham memo and the Nunes memo, all the bulk of information to obtain that warrant to spy on a Trump campaign associate came from a dossier that he never verified.
Yeah, and he and he testified under oath that it was unverified.
Uh and they took it to the FISA court and didn't tell the court two important things.
One, who paid for it, which is a kind of important fact.
And second, they didn't tell the court that the author of that dossier, Christopher Steele, his relationship with the FBI had been terminated because he broke a cardinal rule.
He went and told the press he was working for the FBI.
So in the three subsequent renewals that they got on that Pfizer application that they took to the court, they didn't tell the court the whole truth, like you're supposed like you and I would have to if we're in front of a court of law.
Well, it's but it's even worse than that, isn't it?
I mean, they didn't tell the whole truth.
They never verified, isn't it by FISA law, don't you have an obligation to present only verified, corroborated things to the judge?
If he's saying, Well, I don't know if it's true.
I anything could be true.
That that is hardly the type of information you present to a court to get a warrant to spy on an American, and then not telling the judge that in fact the opposition party candidate paid for this through a foreign national, you know, using Russian sources.
That seems to me like they were lied to on a spectacular level.
Yeah, this this would be humorous if it wasn't so serious, because maybe the first thing that should tell you that this might not be real good fact, might not be fact at all, is who paid for it, right?
Maybe that's the first thing you should check and say maybe we should be a little suspect and really double check everything before we take it.
They didn't do that, even though they knew it was an Oppo research document.
In fact, what they did in my judgment is they dressed it all up, made it look like it was legitimate intelligence, took it to the court, and got the warrant to spy on someone associated with President Trump's campaign, which is as wrong as it gets.
Again, you are I can't go into a court of law.
When we go into a court of law, we're supposed to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
It sure looks like they did not do that with this dossier.
Well, the other part, and now I guess we have to wait till May for the inspector general's report as it relates to the investigation into the Hillary Clinton email server.
Um, look, I'm not I'm not a lawyer, but when I read 18 USC 793, I think it's pretty obvious you can't mishandle or destroy classified top secret special access programming information, which she did.
And then if it's a if if Jim Jordan's uh if if a committee you're on, you subpoena documents for me, and I start deleting them and asset washing my hard drive and beating up or having somebody bust up my blackberries to destroy them.
Is that the definition of obstruction of justice?
Yes, yes, and never forget, Sean.
I asked Secretary Clinton this under oath in front of the Benghazi committee.
I said, Secretary, why don't you agree to let a neutral third party, like a retired federal judge, have access to all 60,000 of your emails and let that individual decide which ones are personal that you get to keep and which ones belong to our committee belong Back to the government for the American people to see.
She would not agree to that.
Now think about this.
President Trump would take that deal in a heartbeat based on what happened last week, where it where they just go in and grab everything Michael Cohen has, grab it all.
He'd love to have a neutral third party, like a retired federal judge on the front end, but no, Clinton wouldn't do that, and it got even worse.
What they did is they said to Cheryl Mills, her lawyer, hey, Cheryl, when do you want us to come over?
You've already looked through everything.
When can we come over and pick up the ones that we're entitled to get?
You tell us what's a good time for you.
That's how they treated her compared to what we saw last week.
That is the part that more than anything frustrates the American people.
Why is it taking so long, do you think, for us to get information on all of these matters?
And let me just give you a short list of all of those.
You have the surveillance, the unmasking, the leaking of raw intelligence, uh unmasking at a rate we've never seen before.
Samantha Powers almost won a day for the last year she's in office.
Well, why would a UN ambassador be unmasking anybody?
And then leaking raw intelligence, that's also a crime.
That happened, we know in the case of Michael Flynn.
But then you have the way this investigation into Hillary's email was was handled.
Now, if we know she committed felonies, and we know that Comey and and Trump hater Peter Strck were writing the exoneration, and then Strzok got assigned to interviewing Hillary Clinton.
Um we we have to know that the fix was in here.
Is there any doubt in your mind that that investigation was rigged?
Because I have no doubt.
Well, we we thought the fix was in before this struck page text messages.
Now that we've got the struck uh page text messages, we know the fix was in.
So you're you're exactly right.
And here's the thing about James Comey.
I think that most of the American people feel like this guy has zero credibility.
He screwed up the investigation into Secretary Clinton from the get-go.
I criticized him in July when he did the big press conference and came out and as the FBI director said that they weren't going to prosecute and laid it all out.
And I criticized him again in October when he announced he was reopening.
I took heat from Republicans.
But my my position was, and I think the vast majority of Americans' position is this guy screwed it up from the get-go.
Of course the fix was in.
Anyone who's objective can see that now.
Yeah, well, anybody so where does this go from here?
And do we have to now worry about statute of limitations running out?
Here's where it goes.
We we uh we got to get the documents, and uh we met with John Lause, uh Congressman Meadows and I met with a new point person at DOJ on getting his documents, and I asked him four questions last week.
I said, tell us the approximate universe of documents we're entitled to, tell us the standard you currently use to determine what gets redacted, tell us the number of steps in your current process, and then of course the most important question tell us when we're going to, as a separate and equal branch of government, get what we're entitled to.
And their answers last week were I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Now, since then they sent us a letter yesterday, and their answers are approximately 46,000 documents that we're entitled to that they think is the universe we should get.
And then the other three questions are still I don't know.
So not a big improvement in one week's time.
That is the big problem.
And their their answer is, well, this is the way it's always been done.
Well, that's the problem.
You gotta change things, people.
All right, we've got to take a break.
We'll come back more with Jim Jordan of the Freedom Caucus, Ohio Congressman on the other side.
All right, as we continue with Ohio Congressman, Freedom Caucus member Jim Jordan is uh with us.
What do we have?
Any idea what Comey was referring to when he threw Loretta Lynch under the bus with information that nobody at this point knows about that caused him to feel that he needed to usurp her power and step in and be the public face of the Clinton email investigation?
Because whatever it is, it sounds ominous.
Yeah, it does.
I do not know.
I do not know if it's something that was communicated in the in the now infamous Tarmac meeting.
I do not know.
I think that in and of itself uh is is is a big concern that you know Loretta Lynch met with former President Clinton three days before Secretary Clinton was to be interviewed.
But I don't know if it was something conveyed in that conversation that that he knows about that we don't.
I just do not know.
But even apart from that, uh it still was wrong for Mr. Comey to take this over.
Uh and obviously the actions for Retta Lynch were wrong as well.
What about one other thing?
When Comey said, Oh my God, did we have some role in this when Donald Trump won?
Come on.
The only reason Comey even brought it forward is because we all thought this.
I mean, I said that we've said this before, is because he thought she was going to win.
Everyone in the swamp here thought she was going to win.
So he's like, oh, there's no harm here.
I'll do this and and and bring the information.
Other than that, if if if it had been, you know, if he didn't think she was going to win, I don't think he'd announce that they'd reopened the investigation.
But these guys, think about this, Sean.
James Comey's been fired.
Andrew McCabe's been fired.
Jim Baker, former FBI chief counsel, has been demoted reassigned.
Peter Strzok, epity head of counterintelligence, demoted reassigned.
Lisa Page, FBI counsel demoted, reassigned.
These are the top people of the FBI.
When have you ever seen that many people fired, demoted, reassigned, who were running the place?
Of course there were big problems.
And what about Comey now?
His mandate was Trump Russia collusion and anything associated.
Now we're talking about Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougall, the Access Hollywood tape, and he seems to be latching on to just about anything that would work for him.
Here's something that does that is relatively recent that concerns me.
Is Rod Rosenstein wrote this uh additional memo on August 2nd?
You know, May 17th of last year, the special counsel's name, Rod Rosenstein writes the memo outlining the parameters of the special counsel's investigation.
He does a supplement to that on August 2nd.
It became public just a few weeks ago, and the vast majority of that document is redacted.
I want to know why.
I want to know what what in that document what changed.
Was this a change in the parameters of the special council investigation?
Was this an uh amendment to it?
Was this a some what was what was that document all about?
And why did he have to put it in writing?
Why couldn't he's the guy who Moeller has to answer to?
He can just communicate to that him is the first one.
What do you make of the fact that his approval ratings down now eleven points?
He's at 32 percent, Robert Mueller.
Are the American people getting hip to the fact that he appointed really uh people that have abused power in the in the past, like is Pitbull Andrew Weissman?
Are you concerned about the people that he hired?
I think everyone is, and I think the when it when you bullet all boil it all down, it's the American people don't like two standards.
They don't like one set of rules for Sean Handy, Jim Jordan, and regular folk across this country uh in a different set.
If your name is Clinton, Comey, Lynch, Lerner, they don't like that.
And they they believe that this great nation is supposed to be equal treatment under the law, so that's why his numbers are going down.
Um because Americans are are fundamentally concerned with equal treatment under the law.
Yeah, well, I guess if Sean Hannity or Jim Jordan spit on the sidewalk, we're gonna get uh you know, not only a fine, we'll get handcuffed and and and mugshotted and perp walked.
Sean, Mike Flynn makes one false statement while not under oath, and he gets indicted.
Andrew McCabe lies to James Comey, lies to the Office of Professional Responsibility, and then lies twice under oath to the inspector general and what happens to him.
Nothing like what happened to Mike Flynn.
That's what Americans hate.
Do you think there's a chance based on the attorney involved?
I'm sorry, the judge involved in the Flynn case is interesting to me because he also uh presided over the Ted Stevens case, and in that case it was discovered that exculpatory evidence was withheld.
By the way, Andrew Weissman has a history of being excoriated by judges for such.
Um, and the judge in the Flynn case said, I'll decide what's exculpatory and what's not.
Do you do you think now that's an indication that this has a chance of being thrown out, his his guilty plea agreement?
Yeah, I don't know.
You have to talk to legal minds.
I I do know that the judge uh didn't recuse himself in the Flynn case till after the case, is the same judge that Lisa Page and Peter Strzok were talking about in some of their text message correspondence, and Peter Strzok was a friend of that judge, which seems strange.
And I also know that that conversation was one of the documents that we got from the Department of Justice, and it was all redacted.
We had to go to the Department of Justice to figure out that Judge Contreras and Peter Strzok were friends, and that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were talking about that friendship and how that may impact accusal going forward.
Uh all interesting stuff.
Why it was redacted, why DOJ didn't want us to know that important piece of information, I'm not sure.
All right, thank you so much, Jim Jordan.
We appreciate you being with us 800 nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Yeah, we're kind of proud of that distinction.
Anyway, glad you're with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of this extravaganza, we're always pleased and happy to have back to the program Monica Crowley.
She's a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, former editor of the Washington Times, uh, has been on with us on Fox forever.
After the president made the decision as it relates to Syria, uh, one has to ask ourselves the question after World War One, after World War Two, after the the m unbelievable, horrific Evil damage of chemical weapons and w mass destruction.
Well, the president made the decision, along with coalition partners, Great Britain and France, that he would strike at the heart of strategically precision strikes at the heart of the chemical weapons facilities of uh President Assad of Syria.
Monica Crowley has some insight into this and much more as she comes to us.
I guess you're in Jerusalem tonight.
How are you?
Hey, Sean.
Yeah, I'm sitting in Jerusalem, and it's Israel's uh Memorial Day tonight going into tomorrow, and it's followed by Israel's Independence Day.
So it's quite a time to be here.
And you know, I decided to write that column for the Hill a couple of days ago uh because before I got to Israel, I was in Poland and I attended the the annual March of the Living.
And I marched along with 13,000 other people from Auschwitz to Birkenau.
They do this every year to remember the victims of the Holocaust.
And then from there I came to to Israel.
And during that period of time, President Trump made the very brave and correct, I think, decision to uh retaliate against the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons against his own people, killing an estimated 40 people with poison gas.
And having been through this experience in Poland and having arrived in Israel, I just thought, yes, you know, we can debate the strategic imperatives of his decision to respond in this way with air strikes, but we cannot debate the moral imperative to do it.
We have spent the last 90 years since the end of World War One and the the brutal use of poison gas in that war saying never again to those kinds of weapons.
And then of course, 70 years after the Holocaust saying never again.
Well, do those words really mean anything?
If they do, that means that the United States, acting as a great power, needs to react to this kind of of abhorrent behavior, regardless of the size or scale of the tyrant in question.
Why do you think it is that there are even many on our side?
I I watched Friday night.
I do take the president as at his word.
And by the way, this these were precision strikes designated for those areas where we thought, I believe that the manufacturing of these chemical weapons take place.
And by the way, they can be manufactured very inexpensively and very quickly, but there was a a feeling that, oh no, well, President Trump said he wasn't going to be an interventionist.
I don't think this changes the president's foreign policy at all.
I think the line in the sand is is that if we don't create a deterrent for the use of chemical weapons, we're going to see them used again and again and again.
And I don't really feel like putting on a my television set and seeing pictures of innocent men, women, and children suffering because of a chemical attack when we do have the ability to stop it without becoming a nation builder and getting further involved in the ongoing civil war in Syria.
Well, that's right.
And I think I think when any president gets to that office, Sean, um they quickly learn the lessons of history if they didn't know them already.
And the lesson of history is that when the United States as a leader of the free world does not respond in a timely fashion to abhorrent behavior like this, like the use of weapons of mass destruction.
Uh if we don't do that, uh we will end up fighting a much bigger war down the road.
That's the lesson of World War One, that's the lesson of World War II.
In a way, it's a lesson of Vietnam because we responded in in an incremental way, and we ended up with a much bigger war on our hands.
President Trump, who entered office having never done any of this before, I think has made a very wise moral decision in taking action here and also strategic decision.
Because as I said, if he didn't act in this kind of way, backed up by the way, by the UK and France, this is not a go-it-alone thing, but the United States people, people on our side, Sean, are worried that we're gonna be uh dragged into a larger war.
Well, I've got news for you.
We are the world superpower.
We are already involved.
This is the Middle East.
I'm sitting in Israel now in the heart of the Middle East.
We are already involved for a whole range of reasons.
And if we can't take an action like this on behalf of innocent people who are being gassed to death, then we no longer deserve to call ourselves a great power.
I do believe that there are certain times and moments where you have to lead, and I think that that imperative was was put together.
What else?
Um there had been some well, uprisings on the Borders with Israel and the Palestinians of late.
Uh is that still ongoing and are you planning on uh seeing the Prime Minister while you're there?
Well, I can tell you this, Sean.
It w I'm in the middle of two back to back national holidays in Israel, which just began tonight as I'm speaking to you.
So I'm not quite sure I'll be able to get in to see the prime minister uh before I return to New York at the end of the week.
I will be seeing the Israeli president on Thursday morning uh here, so I hope to have some time with him.
Today we went down to the Gaza Strip.
Can't get all that close.
We were with members of the Israeli defense forces, the IDF.
They wouldn't allow us to get as close as I had been to the Gaza Strip in the past.
But we saw an Israeli training exercise right there, uh, right on the on the border, and we saw live fire exercise, and then of course we saw some of the Palestinians in in the distance.
Tomorrow, Sean, I'll be going up to Northern Golan uh to the Syrian border where all of the action is, of course, the air strikes.
But tomorrow I'll be able to see the training camps of ISIS, Hezbollah, a range of of terrorist groups, and I'll be happy to report back to you on that.
All right, love to hear it.
All right, Monica Crowley in Israel tonight, uh, your time.
Thank you for being with us.
We appreciate it as always.
Uh 800-941 Sean is a toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Uh, we say hi to Kevin is in Louisiana.
Kevin, hey, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, I just wanted to tell you stay strong.
You're our voice out here.
Um, without your your reporting and your colleagues, um, none of this would have been exposed, and they want to try to take down one of the big dogs that's nipping at their heels on a daily basis.
Well, I did learn a lot in the last uh 24 hours.
Uh huh.
I didn't realize I was hated that badly, but apparently I'm hated that badly at more.
Uh but I I never had any illusions.
What?
You're hated on that side of the coin, but that's the that's that's the people that want to try to bring you down because you're pretty much the big dog.
You know, I don't think you're very kind.
Look, I don't think of anything that I do as being the big dog or anything like that.
I honestly truly believe this that there are those of us that love this country and believe in what America is.
And I believe all of us, I tell this to my radio and television team all the time.
Linda's heard this speech a thousand times.
All right, what speech am I about to give, Linda, before I give it?
You can guess what it's gonna be.
Do you know?
No, I don't know.
Enlighten me.
How many times have I said we're all spokes in a wheel?
And you need every spoke in that wheel to make the wheel go around.
You start losing spokes, and the wheel starts getting wobbly, and if enough spokes fall off, then you don't have a wheel and you don't have a country.
And what I'm afraid of, these are very dangerous post-constitutional times, as Mark Levin has said, and we see it now happening every single day.
And you know, look at the look at the politicizing of Muller's team.
Look at the people he's put on that team.
Look at crimes we know are committed, and yet we don't have equal justice or e equal application under the law.
We have a two-tiered justice system.
You got the Hillary Clinton system, and then you have the rest of America system.
And and that is an extremely dangerous moment for this country.
And if you doubt what I'm saying is true, just just keep watching because this effort to undermine a duly elected president is real.
The forces that I have described against the president are real.
They're working every day, day and night uh to accomplish that goal.
They it's now become their drug, their obsession, their opioid, and and they can't give up that junk, and they can't see straight anymore.
And so anything that is in any way associated with supporting the duly elected election or the president, you know, this is the type of thing that happens.
This is what the media does.
The media is not honest.
The media it's all things that they can do to create a narrative, an impression of chaos and undermine a duly elected president.
They never thought this day would come.
They laughed at his candidacy.
They laughed at the idea he could beat 16 other Republicans or Hillary Clinton.
And then we find out of the irony of all ironies is that a special counsel is appointed to look into Russian collusion, and we find it, but it's not Trump.
So they move on to Stormy Daniels and and Karen McDougall and access Hollywood.
And meanwhile, there was one candidate that paid a foreign agent, foreign national, to get Russian lies to manipulate the votes of the American people and influence the election.
I think you should remind the audience about when they left.
I never get tired of that.
Yeah, that's one of my favorite tapes.
I'm taking I'm in the middle of a really thoughtful mini monologue here, and you're like, It was so good.
Step right on it.
Reclaim it.
All right, let's play the let's play the montage.
Donald Trump just last week he confirmed the National Review that he is again considering a run in 2016.
Do it.
Do it.
Look at me.
Do it.
I will probably brought you a town fighting check now on behalf of this country, which does not want you to be president, but which badly wants you to run.
President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.
Exclamation point.
At real Donald Trump.
At real Donald Trump.
At least I will go down as a president.
Basically, this is the beginning of the end for Trump.
The beginning of the end.
The beginning of the end.
This is probably starting of the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.
Donald, uh, you're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency.
The strongest person usually isn't the loudest one in the room.
So right now we have Hillary's about a 75 or an 80% favorite.
We have a different person in the forecast.
Nationally, 12 points, 50 to 38, four-way race.
Clinton leading in Florida, Clinton leading in North Carolina, Clinton leading in Ohio, Clinton leading in Nevada.
I could go on and on and on.
I continue to believe Mr. Trump.
Trump will not be present.
And so, right now, Mr. Trump, to answer your call for political honesty, I just want to say you're not going to be president, all right?
It's been fun.
It's been great.
I love you.
Come on, come on, buddy.
We have a major projection right now.
Donald Trump will take Ohio projects.
Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida.
Huge win for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump while we project will win in Kentucky in Indiana with its 11th electoral votes.
West Virginia, well, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, North Dakota, with its three electoral votes, and South Dakota, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, the state of Montana, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Utah, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas with its six electoral votes, Nebraska with its five electoral votes, and Wyoming with its three electoral votes.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Complicated business.
A lot of people have laughed at me over the years.
Now they're not laughing so much, I'll tell you.
I agree.
I think that's our favorite montage of all time because it goes through the whole history of it.
And they can't believe it.
But the downside is then they lost, and then they went to undo an election.
A duly elected president.
They want to unseat him, delegitimize whatever terms you want to use.
Just it's everything that they're doing.
All right, quick break, right back, more of your call straight ahead as the Sean Hannity show continues.
All right, let me get to our busy telephones here.
Uh Jesse, Louisiana.
Jesse, how are you?
Glad you called.
Greetings, Sean from the Bayu.
Uh look, first of all, uh, if I were you, I would not let none of this mess that they're talking about you bother you.
I mean, it's like my mother used to say, as long as they're talking about you, they're giving somebody else a break.
Yeah, you know, listen, I I find some of it amusing, and I will tell you this.
I I've understood my whole life the dangers of the size-scope power of government.
I've understood it.
I've understand deep state actors, but I've never seen it this bad.
They really want to undermine and get this president out of office.
Any by any means that's necessary at this point.
You know, I I'm just a simple guy, you know, simple coup nice from down here in Dubaiu.
And to be real honest with you, Sean, I I don't really until the last year and a half, I really hadn't paid much attention to politics.
I voted Republican because my grandparents and my parents did.
But when Trump got, you know, started running, I actually started paying attention.
And the thing that I've noticed the most is every time Trump does something right or something good, they come out with a whole new narrative.
Uh, you know, Sean Hannity did this, or Cohen did that, or General Flynn did they've got to deflect.
They've got to start a whole new story to cover up the good things that are going on in the country.
And frankly, I think 90% of the country ceased past it.
We know what they're doing.
We know that Trump's really trying his best to make this country better.
And uh I couldn't be more proud of him.
Uh listen, I appreciate I you know nobody in the media understands me.
And this doesn't matter.
Uh I it's amazing to me when I do interviews that I'll say over and over again what drives me, what motivates me, what makes me get up in the morning.
It's always about one simple, simple thing is I want America to be a better place and Americans to have opportunity.
And I want the America of the last eight years to be wiped away, and people get off poverty and off of food stamps and back in the labor force, and I want to have a safe country so that we can raise our kids and save neighborhoods and have the American dream come true.
That's it.
That's me.
Do I get credit for that?
Nobody they don't understand it.
And the way to get there is with good governance and politics.
I appreciate your kind words.

I talked to a lawyer.
I'm making a list of any lawyer I might have ever spoken to in my life and asked a legal question.
800-941 Shawn is our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
News roundup and information overload hour.
We have uh Sidney Powell is with us, author of the best-selling book, Licensed to Lie, Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice, Federal Appellate Attorney, Senior Advisor for American First, David Schoen, also is a an attorney and a criminal and civil rights attorney.
Welcome both of you to the program.
You know, I'm looking at a whole series of conflicts all over the place as it relates to the media in this country.
You know, ABC News exec married to Susan Rice, uh CBS news president, well, brother of Ben Rhodes, or uh former White House press secretary Jay Carney married to Claire Shipman, who was at ABC News, or ABC News and Univision reporters uh together.
Uh Ben Sherwood of ABC New, the brother of Obama's special advisor, Elizabeth Sherwood, CNN president Virginia Mosley is married to former Clinton deputy secretary, uh Tom Knights.
And I can keep going.
How much longer should I go?
Uh Sidney.
Uh I we get the picture, Sean and the Obama administration.
That's how they control the press so well.
He had people in his administration married to somebody in every major news outlet there is except perhaps Fox.
Yeah, I mean, it is pretty amazing.
And you know, I described all of this in just simple detail.
Um, David Cohn and uh and nobody seems to really want to listen to uh David Schoen, and I don't think anybody really wants to listen.
Well, I think in in some perverse way, I have to say, I suppose that all of this attention on you is flattering.
It's now a matter of, you know, sort of try to kill the messenger because you've really been making inroads into exposing what's going on here, and you must continue to do so.
Um, these conflicts that you've mentioned, and that's just a handful of what's out there, are certainly very serious and troubling conflict.
Imagine the relationship between husband and wife in each of those situations is a lot closer than any relationship uh you might have had with any lawyer or otherwise.
Um but look look, you can just don't have to look any further than the Stephanopoulus Comey uh interview of just the other day.
Uh you know, Mr. Stephanopoulos was himself under the gun for a while, and then Since he has money friends among the media, sort of evaded that after a short time.
But his connection with the Clinton campaign and campaign contributions, etc., should have eliminated him as an interviewer of Mr. Comey, and certainly as the definitive interviewer that he's been presented now in the media.
You know, I just find all of this, you know, somewhat laughable.
I, you know, I spend a lot of time every day picking everybody's brain.
Uh David, you and I have had private conversations uh about you know things you know in your legal mind, and you send me information.
I'm always trying to learn, I'm always trying to understand uh everything possible that I can.
And uh and that's just the way I roll.
Right.
We all are.
Look, there's absolutely nothing wrong in terms of disclosure.
I've been on the program in which you have said, uh during what you have said, Michael Cohen is a has been a friend of mine.
I've spoken with Michael Cohn.
There was nothing here that was withheld that's relevant.
Now, did this lawyer probably misspeak or over speak in court when he identified you as one of three clients that he's had?
Probably so, because you're no more a client, it would appear, than the ten other people to whom he referred, or people in his uh daily life who asked him legal questions or otherwise for his advice.
He's an experienced guy.
That's what started the ball rolling, it seems to me.
I'm also not sure exactly you know why he answered that question or why he answered it as he did.
I think the judge would made some mistakes here also, and I'm happy to talk about that.
Well, what mistake she should not have asked for that information at all.
I mean, the very existence of the attorney-client relationship is privileged.
And Sean, you've just experienced what countless other Americans who are thrown into our criminal justice system experience every day, one violation after the other of their rights.
That's why I wrote the book in 2014 to start bipartisan criminal justice reform.
It's desperately needed across the board.
And these examples uh that are coming to light now and with high-ranking people are just part of it.
Yeah.
You know, I I and then you look at, let's look at the the close relationship that exists between, let's see, Robert Muller, Andrew Weissman, uh James Comey, uh uh Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe.
I mean, if you look, their careers are intersecting all over the place.
And especially the most puzzling thing, and I know you wrote a lot about this in your book, uh, Sidney, and that one of the most puzzling things is why would anybody ever hire Andrew Weissman?
And then frankly, when you look at even Robert Mueller's record as it relates to the Whitey Bolger case and or the anthrax case, I am pretty stunned because this was the guy that everybody said was above reproach.
Why would you appoint an Andrew Weissman if you're above reproach and don't have an agenda?
Because he's not above reproach and he does have an agenda, and that's the precise kind of tool he wants to use.
Somebody who's willing to engage in prosecutorial terrorist tactics against Paul Manafort and anyone else involved in the investigation and do anything it takes to win.
That's what's wrong with our criminal justice system.
What do you think this is?
Uh I probably have been the most outspoken voice against what I believe is a witch hunt here, and against people that I believe are either conflicted and should have recused themselves, like Rod Rosenstein, or have ethical issues that render them incapable of doing this job and doing it fairly based on their past performance, like withholding exculpatory evidence, David.
Right.
And so it's not coincidental that you know you make headlines now with this sensationalism uh from yesterday.
So as I say, in a perverse way, it's flattering.
Unfortunately, uh you are the lone voice out there, but I think because of the message, the substantive facts you're putting out there, people are starting to listen more and learn more.
And I'll tell you, Miss Powell did a tremendous public service with the book that she wrote.
Not many people from the inside are going to write a book exposing someone like Andrew Weissman.
The guy not only has been hired, he's been elevated to different positions, and everyone who has encountered him, just about every criminal defense lawyer has seen.
I I told you in the Eastern District of New York, when I first met him, the other lawyers, prominent lawyers told me that he's known as the pathological liar.
That's a heck of a reputation.
But you you're you're right.
Well, let me ask you this.
I was watching Judge Napolitano was on it with Harris Faulkner today, and and talking about, you know, Cohn might have been under digital surveillance for months, which included recording Cohn's phone calls with President Trump.
Now, if that's the case, would they listen into the whole conversation?
Do they have a right to listen in?
No, they they don't have a right.
They sh well, I'm sure they were operating under what they call the Crom Fraud exception.
That's that's how they did that.
But yes, uh if it weren't for that, they had no right to listen to attorney client privilege information.
And the fact that they would do this against the president of the United States with absolutely no evidence of criminal conduct, it's absolutely outrageous.
And they certainly don't have a right to listen to the full conversation.
There's a minimization requirement that the law places as soon as they hear something off subject of what they're purportedly listening to, they must not listen to the conversation.
Um look, there are all but we know jolly well they did.
Right.
There are all so many double standards.
Is that would that be illegal though?
Yes, it would be illegal.
Am I the only one that cares about the right for privacy in any of this?
I hope not.
It appears public from public figures.
Unfortunately, it appears that way, but I hope not.
And I think the American people do care about it, especially things that hit to the heart of privacy.
Listen, the New York Times should have been all over the outrageousness of the way this raid on Mr. Cohen's office was handled.
And by the way, we still don't know who conducted the search.
There are very specific Department of Justice regulations on who is permitted to even conduct the search in this case.
It may not be any agent or lawyer who is directly involved in the underlying investigation.
Then you move to the review process.
And where I say Judge Woods, in my view, made serious mistakes within not appointing the special master.
Yesterday the Well, a special master.
I mean, explain the distinction here, because you you're gonna have a taint official put in the case, right?
Right, and that's just another member of the same U.S. attorney's office, a fellow prosecutor.
That's a that's an option, but what this precedent within the Southern this same court, the Southern District of New York, for appointing a special master.
There are many law review articles written on it.
You don't want a member of that same prosecution team uh uh office, even if they put up with so-called Chinese walls separating him or her from the other prosecutors in the case, uh, for very specific reasons.
It's not just to protect a lawyer, it's not that lawyers are above the law, it's the lawyer's client, and ultimately it's the uh sacred attorney client privilege that everyone wants to know what they say is secret.
So what the courts have said is appoint a special master.
For example, in the Lynn Stewart case where a lawyer was accused of supporting terrorism, the New York Times support certainly supported uh her right to privacy and the attorney client privilege there.
The court in that case said we're not gonna let a tape team or a privilege team from the prosecutor's office review these things.
They can't touch them.
What they have to do is take a copy and give that to the lawyer who they were taken from.
Take a copy and give it to a prominent lawyer who we're gonna point to the special master, and their own copy, the copy that the prosecutors took, must be sealed into a vault, not looked at at all.
Let the neutral personnel.
Am I overstating this that maybe attorney client privilege is is gone by the wayside?
Things that I always thought and believed were fundamental to our legal system, uh, maybe they're not as secure as as maybe this audience would think.
God forbid not as secure as the audience would think.
Definitely not if this can be done this way.
Even things this sacred now are being uh thrown out the window in the name of anti-Trump or in the name of uh whatever the agenda is that's out there.
Does that now mean that I mean, you know, I you know, from a journalist standpoint or anybody that works in journalism, do they have to disclose every time they're on the air?
Oh, my brother uh works for the Obama administration.
Oh, my wife works for Hillary Clinton, or my, you know, oh, George Stephanopoulos goes on, I'm George Stephanopoulos.
Welcome to Good Morning America.
I used to be uh the the hit guy when when uh of to put down bimbo eruptions for Bill Clinton and I intimidated reporters, and I was then a press secretary.
How often does that have to get mentioned?
Right, as if it ever would be.
Well listen, listen, there are certainly certain conflicts that must be disclosed uh within journalism.
Uh, you're aware of that, everybody's aware of that.
And you make those disclosures.
And in this case, you made the disclosure that you're friendly with Michael Cohen and the shows in which you've spoken about Michael Cohen.
Nobody's gonna want to be my friend anymore.
I can tell you that.
I mean, I wouldn't say uh you two are gonna run for the hills next.
I can see it happening.
Uh all right, quick break 800 941 Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
We'll get to your calls at the uh bottom of this half hour.
All right, as we continue with attorney, criminal rights, uh, criminal justice attorney and also civil rights attorney, David Schoen is with us, as well as the author of the best seller, licensed to lie, Sidney Powell.
All right, so I guess the the big question here is well, what are they what do you think they're looking for as it relates to Michael Cohn and what does it mean for, say, the president uh of the United States who thought he had privileged confidential discussions with him?
I think Cohen's another tool for Mueller to try to get anything he can find on Trump because he obviously wasn't succeeding on the Russian collusion narrative.
So now they're trying to go through Cohen to get anything they possibly can, and they'll use it any way they can.
It also poses a huge violation of the rights of Cohen's other clients because they scooped up absolutely everything the man had, all his computers and everything.
I would assume he had access to his firm's full database.
There's no telling what all and who all clients are implicated in all of this.
Seems like a fishing expedition that can go on forever, right?
Oh, yes.
I said from the first day Muller was appointed.
I knew he would try to drag it out for the entire length of Trump's presidency.
Yeah.
And what were you gonna say, David?
The other aspect of uh uh first of all, I'd say you're right, but secondly, the other aspect of this is you know, we can only deal with the facts here.
And the facts are there are people who have a particular agenda here.
And so Mr. Muller, on the one hand, uh, may have a specific agenda in the Southern District, giving himself sort of an insurance policy on his um agenda in case he's no longer special counsel, he's now turned things over, at least as to Michael Cohen, uh, to the Southern District of New York.
I would also point out that a member of Mr. Muller's team was the four is the most recent former director of that public corruption unit that's now handling it in the Southern District.
But also, there are other agendas here.
Look at Michael Avenati, for example.
On April 8th, he filed a document in his lawsuit against Mr. Trump for Stormy Daniels in California, alleging that the contract was not valid between the two of them because it was an illegal contract in that it violated campaign finance laws.
It paying Stormy Daniels 130,000, purportedly was to affect the election illegally.
It's the next day, April 9th, that Cohen's office is raided, and we're told right away that this was at least in part based on a referral from Mueller about campaign finance law uh matters.
Yeah.
All right, you guys uh been coordinated well ahead of time.
All right, thank you both for being with us.
We'll continue to stay on these stories and much more.
Where do you see the charts and graphs we're gonna be putting up on Hannity tonight, nine Eastern?
Uh, you're gonna be stunned.
It's gonna take your breath away.
All right, that's coming up at nine.
We hope you'll set your D VR.
Quick break, we'll come back.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
Your calls are next, 800-941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
800-941 Sean is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Promised we get to a lot of calls here.
Uh whatever's on your mind doesn't matter to me.
Uh, let's say hi to Karen is in New Mexico.
We'll start with Karen.
How are you?
Glad you call, Karen.
Hi, Sean.
I just find it funny how Comey is Mr. Morality with Trump, but he didn't have a problem with his own FBI agents having an affair right under his nose.
Yeah, that's true.
And I or what about the hatred of Donald Trump?
I mean, he's Peter Strzok is the guy that interviewed Hillary Clinton.
And Peter Strick was the guy that was writing the exoneration before investigation.
You know, I I'm gonna tell you partly why I'm hated so much, because we've been in the forefront of this.
We have nailed it.
We've not been wrong.
We have been right all the way, and they don't like it.
They don't like it one bit.
That is a big part of you know, anything and everything insignificant about Sean Hannity.
You know, there's more media conflicts, there's more political conflicts.
You I know that swamp that is what Washington, DC.
They they eat together, they drink together, they sleep with each other.
It is it is a rotted culture out there.
And they all they're all on the same page all the time.
And those roots run deep.
And I'll tell you what's not at the top of their agenda in many cases, caring about and serving the American people, and they're supposed to all be public servants.
That I can promise you.
That is what is so frustrating to all of us.
We're trying to teach our children to respect the rule of law.
But yet they act like they're in their own little separate cult.
And he acts like Jim Jones instead of the former director of the FBI.
It's humiliating.
It really is.
It's shameful.
It is beyond shameful.
Agree.
But you know what?
Here's the thing.
You know, I'm actually convinced beyond any doubt at all that if the economy keeps growing the way the economy is growing, and the president is successful and continues to be successful, you know, if if great things happen, say with the if the Korean peninsula, I know it's a long shot, but at least we got a shot, became denuclearized.
If China and the U.S. resolved all their trade intellectual property issues, and and we actually work together for the benefit of both countries.
If the same would happen with Mexico and say Canada and other trading partners in Europe, and we have economic growth, maybe we even thread a needle, maybe a once-in-five-generation opportunity when you have the Israelis, the Saudis, the Jordanians, the Egyptians, the Emirates.
You know, we have an enormous opportunity here to maybe maybe create an everlasting peace in the in the Middle East, and all standing up against Iranian hegemony and the threat of a nuclear armed Iran.
Nobody seems to care that the president has kept his promises, is fighting hard every day.
Things have gotten dramatically and significantly and measurably better.
Um they're not focused on any of that.
They want they want the superfluous, they want the salacious, they want the negative, they want anything and everything that they can do to portray the president in a light that is that that is that fits their narrative.
But if everything is working, by the time we get to November 2020, it won't matter.
All the noise for four years won't matter.
Results matter.
And my advice to the president is just keep doing your job as president and governing the way you're governing.
Um anyway, good point.
Indiana, we go.
Don is next on the Sean Hannity show.
How are you, Don?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, how are you today?
I'm good, sir.
What's happening?
Hey, uh, I just I want to run something by in, and uh I'm really hoping that I'm wrong on this.
But Jim Jordan um said a while back that uh he was happy that Sessions um uh appointed somebody to help the IG whenever the report comes out.
Um, but he can elect a special prosecutor at any time.
What I'm afraid is gonna happen, this IG report's gonna come out.
It's it's gonna I think it's gonna look bad.
Uh and then I think sessions will say, okay, we need a special prosecutor.
And that time level is going to take a while for that team to get together, but it's gonna run real close to the uh 2018 elections.
And I I just I think sessions don't want no part of this.
I think he he's saying I think he's carried his way out of it.
I mean, he doesn't want to make any major decisions, and yet for myself, I voted for Donald Trump because he's a businessman, and I knew that Sessions was going to be his guy at the attorney uh Colonel General.
You know, uh I listen, I I do agree.
I think it was I don't know why the attorney general had in his mind to recuse himself the day after he was confirmed.
It's it's almost like the president's never had his own attorney general, and then it has thrown things into such chaos and and it's allowed deep state political operatives to do a lot of what they've always wanted to do here and it's hurt it's hurt the country look at how divided we are right and and what about I mean what about probable cause the they're they're going after Trump on a fake um uh the oh I forgot the name now that um the steel
it's all fake and that was their probable cause and now we know it's fake this thing should been over i mean it should have been it shouldn't even start it be honest with you but i i i know just sessions and you are you know you guys know each other but man i'm really disappointed in that guy yeah i i i think he did the president wrong absolutely wrong i think so too and i don't think a lot of the events that have been unfolding for the
last year would have ever gotten to this point ever because the we wouldn't have had the special counsel look how reluctant jeff sessions is to appoint a second special counsel but you know we'll see what the inspector general has to say we'll see what these other people that are sorting through and sifting through information that has been subpoenaed by congress it the double standard in terms of how everything's covered it it should make everybody sick to their stomach um all right let's go to donna is in staten island new york the
all all new WOR the talk of New York and New Jersey how are you good afternoon my friend I'm well how are you I'm good what's happening well I'm a little disturbed by like you know this this whole thing with all of the people and their connections to the Clintons and on all these different levels so it's like an octopus with all these tentacles like there's this Kimba Woods who's the judge in the case against uh Cohen.
That's scary.
And then there's all this news coming out that um Comey's wife and daughters were very pro-Hillary and stuff.
I mean this cool thing and I'm really dating myself here but this reminds me of like the political version of Rosemary baby like where there's the bassinet and they're all peering into the bassinet and they're wringing their hands gleefully it's scary how much evil is connected and interconnected on so many levels.
That's actually scary to me because I don't see how justice can prevail if you have judges that are so enmeshed with the Clintons people that have taken uh have made donations to the Clinton foundation or have gotten money from the Clintons.
It's really really frightening because you really start to say to yourself Steven think how frightening it is look look at the relationship look at the Robert Mueller with Comey Comey with Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and you know just again the top echelon you know what do we talk about what am I describing when I describe this deep state in America today that that is the definition of it and that they think that they know better.
James Comey did so many things that are wrong here, releasing privileged information, government documents and information he shouldn't have released.
James Comey, you know, allowed a FISA judge in a FISA court application to spy on an American, a Trump campaign associate weeks before an election.
You know, allowed a phony Clinton bought and paid for dossier put together by a foreign national and using Russian lies to manipulate the American peoples used as the as the bulk of information to obtain the FISA warrant.
You know, and then, of course, we know Hillary committed all those crimes.
He writes an exoneration before then Trump hater Peter Strzok interviews Hillary Clinton.
And two days later, it's over.
James Comey, you know, I'm not sure if you're a fan of the FISA, you know, I'm not sure if you're a fan of the FISA.
to touch it's the biggest abuse of power scandal in the history of the country by far and there's no other way to describe it.
And I don't know if you've ever seen the email that goes around that uh describes all the connections of people who are like who were involved in the Obama administration and then they were married who was married to somebody who is the head of CBS or there was it's it's really by the way we have the whole list on Hannity.com and wait till you see what we do on TV tonight.
It's gonna be amazing.
It's unnerving it's it is unnerving.
It's frightening it's so frightening.
Yeah you know it is creepy.
Um and the media's all one and the same anyway.
I mean, they all basically echo each other, and they're just an extension of the Democratic Party and the talking points they all put together.
They all work hand in hand on all these things.
Uh all right, let's get back to our busy phones.
Alan is in Tallahassee, Florida.
Hey Alan, how are you?
Uh, what's going on?
I'm doing fine.
Thank you for taking the call.
Uh listening to your callers, um, it often appears that they attribute too much authority to the FBI.
I'm a former agent, and um the their job is to investigate.
The FBI, including its director, does not charge people, they don't exonerate people.
That decision, the decision to make uh to file charges rests with the U.S. attorney and ultimately with a grand jury of twenty-three civilians to approve or disapprove the charges.
Um, and throughout that process, no one not the investigator, not the U.S. attorney, not the grand jury, no one discloses the existence of a of an investigation.
It's just not done.
Even if it makes it to the press somehow.
And you know, I think there's a lot of things when the dust settles in all of this, and it's and frankly, it doesn't matter to me in any way that I'm mentioned a lot.
You know, whatever chip I'm supposed to have that cares what these idiots in the media think about me is long disappeared in my life.
And it actually gives you a certain strength if you don't care what people think and you just stand up for what you believe is right and fight for the things you believe in.
But when the dust settles here, this there's gotta be a conversation in this country about the level of lying, conspiracy theories, uh, the level of collusion, if you will, the the stories that are omitted because of political purposes by the media, how abusively biased they are, how they're sheep, they're lazy, they're overpaid.
And then we gotta talk about well, do we believe in things like attorney client privilege?
Do we believe in equal justice under the law?
Do we believe in equal application under the law?
And it's just so obvious that there's a double standard in our justice system, a dual justice system here.
That's what is obvious.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Uh let's say hi to Steven in California.
Steven, hi, how are you?
We're glad you called, sir.
Hi, Sean.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What's happening?
Uh I'm a huge fan.
Okay, so I was watching the uh interview with uh Mike Wallace and Trey Gowdy on Sunday morning.
Yeah.
And I have to say that uh I I I'm highly disappointed in Trey Gowdy.
He seems to be giving credibility to this whole Russian witch hunt nonsense investigation.
Therefore, allowing uh uh uh allowing the FBI to stonewall the stonewall and and probably waiting until the November election.
So if the Democrats take over, they're gonna make all your hard work and your team hard work just disappear.
And I'm just disappointed right now.
You know, look, I I think because of Trey's background, and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here.
I mean, there have been times that he's been absolutely amazing when he when he focuses in on facts and information and he drills down and is interrogating somebody, and then he makes other statements that I'm like, huh?
What are you talking about?
And recently there seems to be more of those.
Um I think it's his background as a prosecutor, but I would argue the difference between Trey Gowdy and say Robert Muller is I don't think Trey Gowdy would have ever appointed Andrew Weisman or only a team of Obama Clinton and DNC donors to be part of a special counsel,
nor would I think that he supports the mandate that it goes so uh far from what its original purpose was into you know these stupid Stormy Daniels issues, which is mind numbing to me.
So I I think I hear what you're saying, and I I think you make a lot of valid points.
Anyway, my friend, thank you.
800 nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, Hannity tonight on the Fox News channel nine eastern.
Oh, we're gonna do such a big deep dive into let's just say conflicts of interest that exist in the world of media and in the world of oh, special counsels.
Also, Congressman Devin Nunes, he is single handedly leading the charge to get documents out of the Department of Justice and the FBI.
So we'll have an update on all of that and so much more.
It's all coming up.
Set your DVR.
Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern.
All the rest of the media is going to be watching.
