So I'm here.
You're here.
All right.
And so I loved your mom forever.
I remember when I first gave your mom a hug.
It was in a tea party.
It was in April 15th, 2010, and we were doing Hannity in Georgia.
And there was 25,000, 30,000 people showed up because your mother organized it, and I'm like announced that I'd be there.
And I'm thinking, well, maybe there's like a few hundred people show up.
The street was packed.
John Rich performed at the end of the show.
So you're filling in.
There's another liberal girl that that Linda's auditioning apparently for your job that you're applying for.
So how many people have you now whittled it all down to?
Can you tell us?
How many did I start with, or how many do I have now?
How many did you start with?
Seventeen.
How come everybody wants to work for me?
Well, that wasn't even all the people, but you know.
Did you tell Kylie that you had she has to sign a non-disclosure where all of George Carlin's Seriously?
Seriously?
Yeah, seriously.
And in it, you have to put in every curse word you say.
I'll have David write.
Every outrage you say.
Thank you, David.
You know, and and you and you're responsible and you're gonna put in there Linda's.
Listen, people like my vernacular, all right.
Can you hand you you've heard only a small well you go here's the question.
Are you hiring her?
How many people you down to?
First of all.
First of all, because I don't do the hiring around here.
That's correct.
You don't, and my mind, you welcome.
It's a woman's parade.
How many are left?
On the list.
So the liberal and Kylie.
That's right.
And she's a conservative.
That's right.
And you're thinking about a liberal for this show.
We're an equal opportunity job.
So what is Kylie?
Is it 5050 or are you leaning towards one or the other?
Tell the truth.
I think Sarah and David have some things to offer us to you.
Are you leaning towards one person over another?
Yes or no?
Answer.
I'm your boss.
That's like saying, what do you like better in a P B and J You like the peanut butter?
You like the jelly.
You know, it all makes it a beautiful thing together.
All right.
So right now, if you had to pick today, which one would you pick?
I would pick to go home early and not have this conversation with you on radio.
How come your face is so red?
Because I'm Irish.
Oh.
Anyway, joining us.
We're so pleased and proud and happy to have back with us.
Investigative reporter and Fox News contributor, Sarah Carter, David Schoen.
Civil Liberties attorney and criminal uh what do you do?
Criminal defense attorney.
How are you?
Good to see you both.
He's a civil liberties attorney.
I said that.
If you would have paid attention and stopped yelling at me.
I was interviewing someone, I'm sorry.
Um but anyway, uh good to hear you both.
You know, there's a lot of news actually on the whole Russia gate front today.
Let me give a few headlines.
Well, we got the troll farm.
What was it, an eighty page rebuttal beat down of Bob Mueller?
Because Bob Mueller, when he indicted the thirteen companies, actually never thought they'd show up in court, and now that they've showed up, they actually believe in discovery and they're demanding to see the Rosenstein memo in total.
And by the way, now we have uh Thursday, Peter Strzok is testifying behind closed doors.
But tomorrow, what testimony is tomorrow, Sarah?
Something w uh, somebody's testifying tomorrow or is it?
Oh, well, Thursday is gonna be uh Ray and Rose.
Oh, that's right.
And then Wednesdays struck behind closed doors.
And the House Judiciary Committee, if I'm not mistaken, correct?
Correct.
And it's also a joint committee, I think also Trey Gowdy's committee.
Know him or or am I wrong on that?
No, I think you're right on that.
Yeah.
House overseeing.
Look, everybody wants to know what Strz has to say, right?
And eve if even if it's behind closed doors, I think it's unfortunate, and I think the President was right, Sean, uh, that the American people should hear this testimony as well.
We should have a right to hear it.
Um at the center of the one of the biggest scandals in modern American history.
Uh he should explain himself to the American people it's the U.S. tax dollars that were paying his salary.
And you know, here's the thing.
Why would they allow Strzok?
Why would they agree to behind closed doors?
Because the president tweeted out last night, and I agree completely.
Peter Strzok, the anti Trump hating individual at the center of it all.
Why does he get to go behind closed doors?
And will he be under oath?
That's another question I want to answer it.
Well, I don't uh this this is the thing.
Yeah, I I he decided to not go.
He they they said, look, you don't need to subpoena Peter Strzok, his attorney came out and said, Don't subpoena him, don't subpoena him.
He'll more than willingly go and talk to you, he'll speak to you.
Well, it's also a little bit tricky here.
It isn't that Peter Strzok just wants to clear his conscience and tell the truth about everything.
I mean, I don't know what his intentions are, what he's actually thinking.
It was a maneuver on his attorney's part because if he is subpoenaed, uh it would be much more rigorous.
The questioning could be much more rigorous, rigorous, and he wouldn't answer all of those questions.
You know, so now he's going in voluntarily.
He can try to explain himself, he cannot answer questions.
So I think David Schoen would be able to explain the legal ease behind this, but it was definitely a calculated move on his attorney's part uh to try one to make him look good, uh if that's even possible in front of the public, and two to uh, you know, basically uh give him more of an opportunity to either not answer questions or to evade questions once he's behind closed doors.
All right, well, let's talk about the legal side, David Schoen.
You all called it, uh you forget maybe.
You all called it just a couple of days ago.
You said on this show, Strzok's lawyer says Strzok wants to testify openly, etc.
You said it will never happen.
Let's see what happens.
It will never happen.
I thought, you know, if the lawyer really was gonna put Strzok forward to testify publicly, he should give back his law license.
I I the rank and file of the agents hated when another agent comes forward and testifies and takes the fifth.
Strzok should have been put in that position.
He should have been put in the position, his lawyer said he wants to testify.
Give him a choice.
Testify publicly or take the fifth.
That's up to you.
The American people now know what you did, part of what you did.
We still don't know his private emails.
There's a whole other server out there.
We don't have the American people are entitled to the full story.
It is a public service, um, and that's the end of it.
You know, the thing is it's it's absolutely right.
And you know, only until recently, even knowing everything we knew, this guy still has still has a job.
And I'm thinking, why?
And if he works for the American people, I think we have a right to know.
And I think we have a right to get to the bottom of all of this.
And the reality is is they're keeping it from the American people.
Now, by the way, Sarah, you have a breaking story.
Literally, I just got uh hot off the presses.
I just saw that you posted it on your uh website that the House Judiciary Committee now approved uh a resolution today demanding the deputy attorney general turn over all requested subpoena documents regarding the FBI's handling of the Rush investigation during the presidential election after seven days or the impeachment and contempt move forward.
Um well it's about time.
Um I've been waiting for a while, and of course, the people that are at the forefront of it are the Freedom Caucus, because they're the only ones that really give a darn about what the their agenda is and standing up for principle and fighting for the country, you know, the rest of them are frankly just pathetic, but that's a different story.
Yeah, so y the resolution went through today.
I have been told by a number of people that they've been sitting on this for quite some time.
It was a long party line votes, so it was fifteen to eleven.
They passed the resolution, and they are requesting, they're demanding actually, that Rosenstein turn over all the documents that they have been requesting over the past year.
And if he does not turn those over, they're giving him up to seven days, so they're gonna have to wait till everybody comes back from the from the break from the Fourth of July break, and once all the members return, then it'll be up to leadership.
If they haven't turned over the documents, it'll be up to Paul Ryan and others to take that to a full house vote.
Now Ryan says he's gonna do it, and Ryan and Gowdy and Good Lad and Nunes met with uh met with Rosenstein and they were supposed to produce documents the following week, and that kind of came and went, didn't it, with a few documents sent over?
Oh, that's right.
I mean, it came and went.
I know that they're not the only ones frustrated.
Um Chairman Nunes is absolutely frustrated uh with this.
A number of other lawmakers that have been sitting back waiting for Rosenstein to turn these over.
I've also been told, and this is breaking news, I guess as well, that last week um Senator Grassley's office approached Rosenstein for documents, and they actually met with Rosenstein and not to your surprise, Sean, because you say it all the time on the show, there was actually a shouting match um uh behind closed doors again, and Rosenstein refused to comply uh at that time with what they were requesting and was told told them basically go ahead and take me to court.
Remember that's one of the options that uh they can uh you know, pull the contempt, do the impeachment, or go to court for these documents.
And apparently Rosenstein feels that he can uh wait out all of this and and and I maybe he's trying to see if they're serious.
Maybe he says, you know, let's see how serious these guys really are.
If they're serious, they're gonna move forward with this.
And if they're not, well then I've won this battle.
But right now it looks like uh they're pretty serious because this is the first time.
How many do we know FBI rank and file who I'm predicting are gonna be the heroes of the story?
How many of those guys are waiting, hoping, begging to be subpoenaed because when they talk, they're gonna expose a lot of corruption at the FBI.
And I'm also being told that as many as twenty, thirty more anti-Trump people were actually working on a lot of this stuff.
Is that true?
I have been told that, uh, Sean, yeah, as well.
There's a number of anti-Trump people still working.
I mean, this is the reason why they want to know everybody, these are lawmakers, our Congress wants to know who are the people working on Moeller's team, who are the people that we we need to investigate.
I mean, if you look at Kevin Kleinsmith, do you know another name that's just popped out?
Uh there was a very anti-Trump bias on his part, uh, and he was with the FBI.
There's other FBI agents that they're investigating.
And remember, uh, one of the questions you had is why was Peter Strzok still working at the FBI?
There could have been a number of reasons, but a really important one too is the fact that he didn't leave.
He didn't just walk away, which left him open to talking to the inspector general.
Remember, Inspector General Horowitz can oversee those investigations for the people that are still employed, still with under the Department of Justice.
And uh that gave him the ability to really grill down and interview Peter Strzok uh and Lisa Page and the others who are still employed with the FBI.
But he did lose his security clearance and eventually, of course, he was walked off.
Uh, but he was working.
I mean, I knew people who saw him.
In fact, he was traveling the country um last place I was told was Alabama, where he was doing some work.
And and David, let me ask you a legal question.
So Robert Muller files against these uh charges against these thirteen Russian bot companies, but clearly never thought they'd defend themselves.
And they are they're actually arguing, Robert Muller is they don't deserve the right to discovery, which is the the most idiotic argument I've ever heard.
Uh Why did they file charges, if only I argue to get the name Russia in all of this, and thinking that they'd never show up in court?
And now that they not only showed up in court, but they got a pretty kick-ass attorney who have filed an 80-page beatdown of Mueller.
Um, what does he do now but drop the charges because he doesn't want discovery?
Well, that's another point you've made, a very important one all along since this thing's first surfaced.
Listen, due process requires that they get this discovery, and specifically the Rosenstein memo.
If there's no authority for the course of the investigation took, then they shouldn't have been in court in the first place.
They shouldn't have been in the court in the first place for many other reasons.
But you're right.
I mean, he's got to make a choice.
Is he going to drop it?
Let's just hope so you have a judge who holds their feet to the fire.
So I want to say this, you know.
Is there any judge you can think of that wouldn't allow discovery on the half of somebody charged?
Because that doesn't sound like they have the ability to defend themselves.
I mean, isn't that kind of basic?
Does they follow the law?
Absolutely.
Are there judges who don't follow the law?
Also, absolutely.
Political appointees often don't follow the law.
Unfortunately, I want to say this, you know, we've talked about Strook and what he said, what we know about him already.
The IG report is very important for many reasons, but one of the reasons also is what's not in it.
And you know what we never see in there?
Anyone at any point saying to Strook McCabe, who we also know was in the meeting or page.
Guys, this is dead wrong what you're doing.
This is not about a political agenda.
I didn't see that in the report.
And at any time, any official.
So that tells you something about the team that's been compiled.
Remember, Mueller had a universe of capable attorneys from around the country to choose.
He only chose people with a political agenda.
And I hope Rosenstein is asked that question uh when he comes before Congress.
There are many things uh he needs to answer.
But one is all right, stay right there.
We got we gotta take a break.
Also, we're gonna get into the developments on uh the absolute meltdown by the left.
We'll continue with Sarah Carter and uh David Schoen.
Making America first and great again.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, Mark Meadows and Ron DeSantis coming up at the bottom of the hour as they now move towards yeah, the possible impeachment of Rod Rosenstein.
Uh we continue with Sarah Carter and Greg Jarrett.
You know, one of the things, you know, that is the DOJ, this was a report that came out um earlier today that information remains so secret that the Justice Department Inspector General had to censor it from his 500 plus page report, not even members of Congress with top security clearance, have been allowed to see unverified documents from presumed Russian sources in which the head DNC Debbie Wasserman Schultz allegedly implicates the Clinton campaign in Loretta Lynch.
Yeah, you're on radio.
Uh yeah.
That's Sarah Carter.
I know.
Is that Annalise?
Hi, Annalise.
Annalise is actually still at Summer Camp.
She went to Six Flags today, so she's having a great time.
Okay.
And she's on all the roller coasters throwing up as we speak.
I got it.
Um, but real quick, is that true?
Do you think?
Oh, Abel, uh yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I think that they're they're trying, well, I think they're trying to keep information from the lawmaker, Sean, but I also believe that there's some things in there that may be classified that they may feel they can't share because of sourcing and methods, and that's very common.
Well, what about this?
What about the FBI began investigating the Trump campaign, possible ties to Russia, crossfire hurricane, and Clinton connected informants approached the Trump campaign seven times before the FBI launched Russia Gate.
That's real clear investigations.
Did you see that?
Yes, and I did see that story, and I think that's so important.
That story is is is not it's I think it's just the beginning of the iceberg, but let me bring something else up.
but they leaked the majority of that information that led people to see what was going on.
All right, David Schoen, Sarah Carter.
Thank you.
Uh Mark Meadows, Ron DeSantis, next.
This is the best of the Sean Hannity show.
Don't forget, stay tuned for more right after the latest news right here on this radio station.
Music You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity show.
Alec Baldwin's favorite radio talk show host is on the air right now.
Right, Mr. Baldwin.
Here's Sean Hannity.
Well, Peter Strzok is a key figure in both the investigation into Hillary Clinton emails and other investigations regarding the former Secretary of State and presidential candidate, and uh a lead instigator and the leader of the investigation uh for quite some time into the so-called Trump Russia uh collusion matter.
Uh and his text messages between himself and Lisa Page uh have been very enlightening, but they raise as many questions as they answer, and therefore uh we have a lot of questions for Mr. Strck about his involvement in both of these investigations uh and the apparent bias uh that those text messages uh reflect.
Uh and so uh we uh indicated we wanted him to come.
We've been working for quite a few weeks to have this happen.
Uh his attorney uh recently said well he'll come voluntarily, but then when we had everything set, it became apparent that he was not committing to the time and place that uh we had uh thought we had agreed upon.
So I issued the subpoena last Friday, and he uh is commanded to appear on Wednesday.
All right, that was uh Bob Goodlat uh of uh his committee and and asking uh what to ask Peter Strzok on on the hearing tomorrow, and I just want to know why this is not a public hearing, because uh this is the person at the center of all of this, and uh considering he's the guy that interviewed Hillary, he's the one that wrote the exoneration before investigation.
He's the biggest Trump hater of them all, and then he began and was a key investigator, which might have rendered illegitimate from the get-go, the whole so-called Russia collusion where there's still no evidence after all this time.
Anyway, joining us to discuss is the Freedom Caucus chairman, Mark Meadows.
He's with from North Carolina and uh gubernatorial candidate, our friend Ron DeSantis of Florida.
Uh I actually think I'm gonna see you down in Florida over the uh vacation, and I look forward to it.
Uh welcome both of you to the uh program and uh uh I want to know why uh Congressman Meadows, why is this private?
Why can't the public see?
And is he going to be under oath?
Well, uh he should uh actually be in public.
We should have a a transparent hearing, uh candidly.
Uh I have fought for that, believe that we should be there, and yet uh most of the other transcribed interviews we've had have been in private, but uh it leads a whole lot for interpretation, and so uh, you know, we I guess the chairman uh good lad has said that he will be coming back and doing a public interview then.
But I think both Ron and I believe that transparency is the best medicine for what ails us with this DOJ FBI uh debacle.
Well, I want to say understand Congressman DeSantis.
I want to understand uh number one does do we know yet if he's under oath tomorrow?
I think he will be under oath, but I agree with you, Sean.
It should be made public.
What he did uh goes far beyond just his individual circumstances.
I mean, he tried to influence a presidential election uh illegitimately, and his conduct did cast a cloud over Trump's initial presidency.
I mean, he started this whole collusion narrative by opening up the counterintelligence investigation, and he did it because as he texted a week after he opened the case, uh he wanted to stop Trump.
And so this was his insurance policy.
So this the public needs to see him, answer tough questions, and I'm not opposed to doing depositions, but we've just moved so slow on this thing.
Uh, I think the public wants answers now.
Yeah, I think the public deserves answers now, and considering that uh Congressman Meadows, he's been at the heart of this whole thing, you know, there are a lot of reports flying all over the place about what's going on uh in in terms of Washington, not the least of which is that you know,
we have uh the DOJ now sitting on a bombshell evidence that would implicate Loretta Lynch and that apparently uh there's a report, real clear investigations via the Washington Times saying that Clinton connected informants approached the Trump campaign seven times before the FBI launched Russia Gate.
What about the fact that uh an FBI informant in May, remember this whole Trump Russia collusion thing didn't s officially start to the end of July, right after Hillary was exonerated.
How is it that Michael Caputo was uh approached by a guy that said he had information uh he had from Russia and he wanted to in uh wanted to meet Roger Stone and Roger Stone met him for fifteen minutes and the guy wanted two million dollars and it turns out he was an FBI informant.
Is this just another spy that we didn't know about?
Well, uh a lot of those unanswered questions, Sean, are exactly that.
What happens is the timelines are not actually adding up, and no one's been more focused on it than uh Ron DeSantis and Jim Jordan and Matt Gates and I. You know, where we've looked at this and we've looked at these documents, and and here we we do know before the investigation was opened.
It appears that there were a number of other contacts uh that bring real question into was there really an investigation and informants before the July 31st uh date that uh where the uh Russia investigation started.
Here's the other interesting thing is we also know the Peter Strzok, who's being interviewed tomorrow, had a number of conversations and uh exchanges about impeachment of this president, and and that was before the investigation really got underway.
I mean, it's very troubling that it the bias that is out there, and yet uh somehow we we pretend like this was a legitimate investigation by the I am told there may be as many as twenty or thirty more people involved in both the Clinton email server investigation and the so-called Trump Russia collusion investigation that haven't been identified.
We don't we don't even know the five people that have been recommended for further investigation.
Uh you mentioned the name of of what is it, Gladstein is now the third person.
You know, who's the next person?
Aren't there how many people do we know of that are involved in this?
Well, I mean, I go ahead, Ron.
Yeah, well, no, look, Mark has done a good job of identifying some of the folks that the IG report wouldn't, because the FBI and the DOJ illegitimately said that these were people in counterintelligence and therefore they couldn't have their identities released.
That is not true.
Uh Mark blew the whistle on that, so we do know the names of some of them, including uh one of the uh FBI attorneys who uh was mourning after Hillary's law, saying what could we at the FBI have done different to elect her?
And then he said he's gonna dig in because Viva Ra resistance.
So he's gonna use his perch in a position of power in the FBI to try to resist, actively resist the newly elected president.
And that is really um, I think uh synonymous with how this whole investigation's been.
It's been run by people who are out to get Trump and has no more legitimacy left.
Let me ask about what is now the resolution that the House Judiciary Committee has drawn up, and I know Congressman Meadows and uh DeSantis, both of you were very aware of this, that we now have had active obstruction by the Department of Justice where they refuse to listen to Congressional subpoenas.
And there's uh, you know, it this has now gone on, this game has gone on for well over a year, and it even goes back to when Jason Chaffetz was uh sitting on a committee, and that the DOJ refuses to turn over the documents so that Congress can do what it is constitutionally authorized to do and required to do,
which is oversight, and they have used, you know, basically they just don't comply, or they use heavy redactions in the name of national security, and then it turns out it has nothing to do with national security, and then after that they uh they just lie.
So uh my question is are you serious?
Is this real what the Judiciary Committee has now approved for the first time this resolution demanding Rosenstein turn over the requested documents or face possible impeachment or contempt?
Well, it it is uh it was voted out of judiciary today.
Actually Ron and Jim Jordan uh did a a great job in in their their efforts there.
But it wasn't just today.
They've they've been uh at the very forefront of all of this and and I'm here to tell you we'll we'll break the news on on your show.
Uh it appears that we're going to be able to vote on Thursday in the House, before the entire House, a sense of Congress that uh gives uh DOJ a very short time frame to turn over the rest of the documents.
I heard it's a week.
It it uh it was proposed to be seven days, uh and and so obviously voting on that it's incumbent upon every every uh freedom loving, transparency loving member to vote for that because it's it's time that we get the documents.
So the bottom line is now Rosenstein and Ray, they're gonna they're set to testify.
Here's my question.
So they're gonna testify on Thursday.
Um so tomorrow, are there any Freedom Caucus members that will be able to ask Peter Strzok questions or any Go ahead.
J probab probably just Jim Jordan.
I mean, that's one of the things, Sean, when you do this stuff behind closed doors, the way the judiciary chairman is handled it is there's only a hand uh certain people can even ask questions.
And uh Jim initially wasn't allowed to ask questions.
He's been really fighting to do it, so he's gonna be asking questions.
I'll be in there probably telling him, hey, what about this, what about that?
But it's not conducive to because what you want in this are the people who really know the facts well to be the one doing most of the questioning, and that's not necessarily uh gonna be the case if the chairman just picks random people.
So I'm glad Jim's in there because Jim's a bulldog and Jim will go after Strzok and he will confront him with the truth.
But we're not gonna be able to hear, we won't hear one word of what goes on there.
Well, I don't think so.
I mean, unless we do unless they release the transcript, which I think they should do.
I mean, obviously I think it should be before the cameras, but if it's not, at a minimum you got to release the transcript so that the American people can see what went on there.
So yeah, I'm I'm very concerned if we just do this and then it's kind of uh buttoned up and no one is able to access the truth other than there's the handful of people who were in there.
Well, I know that there are people that actually have a great skill at a transcription that can actually do it in real time and and literally we could be getting reports every hour about what is happening in there.
Who would be the person that makes that decision or or would there be a vote on that?
Well, there's not really a vote on it, Sean.
Uh Ron's right.
It's it's basically a call that Chairman uh Gowdy and Chairman Goodlat make on that and and to keep those confidential.
Uh I think there has been real pressure.
I know that uh I mentioned something to Chairman Goodlat earlier today that uh I felt like that Peter Strzok uh of all individuals uh should be the one where we have really this transparency for the American people to hear for themselves what went on.
And yet uh as of right now, uh it it is going to be a confidential transcribed interview with things that uh you know candidly would have to be leaked out in order for you to be able to report on it.
You know, it is a little bit uh disconcerting to me that this guy gets to go in privately and hide behind closed doors and not in front of television cameras um and he says he's willing to testify.
Well, are we sure he's not getting any sweetheart deal, that he's not getting any immunity, there's no proffer involved in this, nothing?
Well, uh no, we're there's certainly not from the Congress, but I don't think we can be sure.
I think he needs to be questioned about how he was handled in the FBI and Justice Department.
And don't you think it's odd, Sean, that the guy who who probably most clearly had no business being in the FBI is the last guy to get fired?
I mean, Comey fired, McCabe fired, James Baker out of the government, Rabicki out of the government, all these people, and yet Strzok has been there.
Lisa Page gone.
So I'm not saying there's anything there, but we definitely need to ask him that question and figure out what the heck were you doing on a taxpayer's salary this whole time after you got demoted?
Because it seems to me once his first text messages came out many months ago, he should have been fired the next day.
Doesn't this whole thing with the beginning of the entire Mueller investigation, does it not begin as is illegitimate when it's the guy that we know hates Trump that literally I would we know Hillary committed felonies.
We know that they wrote an exoneration before investigation.
We know that she obstructed.
There's never been a more clear cut case for obstruction of justice.
Others have gone to prison for far less than what Hillary we know did, and Comey admits she did.
And the question is now that he begins the Russian investigation, doesn't that render the whole the the whole investigation illegitimate under the circumstances and what under which it was uh the beginnings of this whole thing?
Well, uh it obviously does.
I mean, uh uh Ron is is a very gifted attorney and and and very credentialed, so he can maybe speak to this better than I can.
But here here is the problem.
When you have someone with that much inherent bias as Peter Strzok has displayed in his text message and his emails, and and where the investigative team was a very small group.
Now you mentioned 20 or so other people.
Here's the thing is the people who control this investigation were a very small group of people who have displayed bias through their text messages and email exchanges, and yet they're the ones that put forth the evidence for Bob Mueller to uh to look at this collusion.
It's it's very troubling.
Doesn't stop Trump doesn't an insurance policy sound like collusion at the highest levels of the FBI.
Yeah, I mean, think about it, Sean.
Strzok was famously when Hillary when Trump will serve up the Republican nomination, he texts Lisa Page.
Now we've got to bring the Hillary thing to an end.
And of course, he helped do that.
He's the one that starts the counterintelligence case against Trump's campaign.
He says we'll stop him a week later, and then a week after that, he says, Well, look, you guys say he can't get elected.
We can't take that risk.
We need an insurance policy.
So what he is saying is he had this investigation specifically as an insurance policy to kneecap Trump.
That is not a valid pretext for an investigation.
And it wasn't just any investigation, it was unleashing the counterintelligence powers of the federal government against an American campaign, massive abuse of power, and I think he absolutely should face justice for abusing power.
Are there a are there many more people that we're gonna hear about that hated Trump and that were involved in these investigations and supported Hillary last question, Mark Meadows?
Yes, you'll you'll see additional names that'll come out, other than just uh the the uh Klein Smith and Moyer and some of the others.
You'll hear additional names that will come out in the coming days.
But I think you've only seen the tip of the iceberg.
Uh these text messages were bad, but the emails that I'm starting to review actually uh are worse.
They're even worse uh in ways.
So uh it it is very troubling.
Uh, but uh the American people have waited too long.
Hopefully, justices are around the corner.
Mark Meadows, Ron DeSantis.
I'm not I'm not letting go until we resolve this.
And it's not funny by people that actually had the power.
Sean Hannity.
Hey, there's still a lot more ahead on the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
Stay tuned for more right after news on this station.
The best of Sean Hannity is on now.
This is how we move.
We lied up with our hands.
This is how we move.
The laws are the worst of the whole country.
Our immigration laws are a laughing suck all over the world.
ICE has strayed so far from its mission.
What it's turned into is frankly a terrorist uh organization of its own.
They're not gonna be able to go restaurant, they're not gonna be able to stop at a gas station, they're not gonna be able to shop at a department store.
The people are gonna turn on them.
Holding them accountable.
Sean gets the answers, no one else does.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
We burning down the mash at the moon, baby.
This is how it's the new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
I glad you're with us.
Hour two, where there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, and Anthony Kennedy is retired.
And let me just warn you the left, the Borking, the Clarence Thomas-like style attacks.
It's all coming.
Because that's all the left does.
It's so predictable.
Just like, you know, everything that we've been watching with Sarah Sanders and Pam Bondi and Secretary Nielsen, and even attacking Baron Trump and even going after uh Don Jr.'s little girl, a four-year-old named Chloe, the president's granddaughter.
That's how bad it's gotten.
Never mind the regular attacks on Melania Trump, our first lady and the first daughter of Anka Trump.
That just that goes now without saying.
But this election now just got even bigger.
I said it's the most important midterm election in our lifetime.
Well, now it's even more important because with Justice Kennedy out, the left, whoever the president chooses, you better buckle up because they're gonna smear, slander, assault you verbally, assassinate your character, because that's what they do.
Every two and four years, Republicans are racist.
Republicans are sexist, Republicans are misogynist, they're xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic.
Republicans want dirty air and water, Republicans want children to die, and of course, they want to throw your grandmother in a wheelchair over the cliff.
That's what we get, and I prove it because I keep playing the ants.
Elect a Republican, black churches are gonna burn.
And it goes on from there.
Anyway, there is some other news that has gone on today.
Peter Strzok, yeah, the Peter Strzok has uh now testified behind closed doors earlier today, and Freedom Caucus members, uh, Andrew uh Andy Biggs of Arizona, Congressman Matt Gates of Florida here to talk about this and uh so much more.
And uh apparently I'm I'm hearing reports, Matt Gates, you were in the room, that in fact um Peter Strzok actually was never questioned by Robert Mueller, even though Robert Mueller knew about all these text messages, um that he and the anti-Trump bias that this man had.
Well, Sean, we can't get into the specifics of the questions or the answers.
We can share our reactions.
What I can say in response to your question is that I am shocked at the lack of curiosity with Robert Mueller.
I mean, Sean, if you if you were in Mueller's shoes and you had found these text messages, uh, I would think that you would want to ask whether or not they impacted the investigative decisions that were made, whether there was bias, whether there was contact with other members of the FBI regarding the investigation and where it was going and who was making uh the critical judgment calls.
And uh, I just cannot believe the lack of curiosity on the part of Robert Mueller.
It was uh the strongest reaction I've had today from Peter Strzok's testimony.
Let me ask you this.
If I was in the room, and you know how closely I'm following this case, and Peter Strzok is in the heart of all of this.
He was writing the exoneration of Hillary long before they did the investigation, interviewed her.
He was part of that interview, part of the interview with General Flynn.
He immediately started the the witch hunt against Donald Trump.
We've seen all the text messages, insurance policies, we'll stop him, uh loathsome human being, and it can go on from there.
Can you give us a uh a headline?
What uh how what would my reaction, knowing how passionate I am about the corruption here, because this involved literally the saving somebody guilty of felonies, rigging an investigation, and then trying to tear down the other candidate and impact a presidential election.
How do you think I would have reacted if I was in the room?
I don't think you would have been surprised because the inspector general's report says that when he spoke to Peter Strzok, Strzok reflected, you know, personal feelings that he was sharing with his personal lover, uh, but that those weren't impacting the decisions he was making in the investigation.
Those were the assertions Peter Strzok uh gave to the inspector general, and so none of his responses when confronted with those messages have really surprised us today.
Um, you know, the the thing that the out of with what we saw in the inspector general's report uh deals with how this investigation was started.
Sean, you will know that we have been demanding documents from the full to 31st of July to determine whether or not there was intelligence collected on the Trump scene and whether or not people were paid to collect that intelligence.
Uh in those types of questions, we have not gotten clear answers from Peter Strzok.
And if it were true that no intelligence collection occurred prior to opening up on Papadopoulos, then you would think Strzok would just clearly state that, that there was nothing going on.
But the fact that he was obtuse in his responses, it really raises a lot of suspicion that that intelligence collection...
Well, I mean have in fact been going on.
I can ask you your impression.
Did you feel he was telling the truth?
I felt like in some cases he was not being clear in his responses.
You know, I don't think that it is ever truthful to reflect on the text messages as anything other than a bias and a willing to take official action based on that bias.
So in that sense, no, I don't believe that Peter Strzok has been truthful to the inspector general or to Congress today, because it's so obvious that this was someone who held bias and who was willing to take action based on that bias.
Do you agree with me in my characterization that this is the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in American history, and that we had a number of high-ranking FBI officials and others that were involved in an effort to literally to frame Donald Trump to attack him unfairly,
create a phony narrative about Russia while uh while simultaneously and previously saving Hillary Clinton from what other Americans would have uh gotten, which is an indictment.
I I think it is entirely correct that this represents an unprecedented abuse of power.
But Sean, that's not just your view.
When my colleague Jim Jordan asked the inspector general if he had ever seen anything like this, where essentially the entire leadership of the FBI has been swept out at once because of firings, emotions, criminal prosecutions, conflicts of interest.
Uh they're leaving uh, you know, days after they have to give testimony to Congress because they don't want to have to account for that testimony.
This is unprecedented.
Those aren't your words and my words.
Those are the words of Michael Horowitz, the Democrat Inspector General.
Let me go.
There's a lot of other issues now happening in in Washington today, and Congressman Andy Biggs uh with us.
Uh and I know you weren't in the hearings, Congressman, so I'm not really going to ask you about that, but you are a part of this effort uh on two different issues.
Number one, the the move uh for censure as it relates to Maxime Waters, number one, and number two, the immigration bill, the more liberal bill, and whether that has a chance of getting more votes than the conservative one, uh, which I hope not and where it's going.
Well, first let's take a first I I I have been in that hearing all day, Sean, but but second of all, um the immigration bill, uh the liberal interview uh immigration bill that provided uh amnesty, the first vote for general amnesty failed with about a hundred and they only got 120 votes there.
So the the more conservative bill 193, so big huge difference there.
The other aspect is I filed the the motion to censure Maxine Waters for her for her uh verbal uh uh uh tirade and her inciting and inflammatory language.
And Matt, of course, had uh co-sponsored with me.
And we've got that uh that's that's pending right now.
Uh uh I've worked with leadership trying to get some some some motion on it.
They've asked me to do a couple things.
I'm gonna try to do a couple things because uh she needs to be censured.
She needs to know she a simple really is an official reprimand, and and she needs to be reprimanded for her uh misconduct.
Well, and what happens with that?
What does that ultimately mean?
Uh what it means is that uh the body itself has said you you have brought discredit to yourself and to the body.
And so we are officially sanctioning you, and it does but it doesn't remove her from office, of course, doesn't expel her from the body, nor does it even necessarily remove her from uh committee assignments.
That would be left up to her leadership at that point and her and her conference based on the fact that uh uh uh that she was reprimanded by the body.
Let's talk about the immigration bill.
Now the Goodlap bill, which had, I think, far more um was far better and far closer to the four principles that the president outlined, Congressman Gates.
Uh we didn't get enough votes.
Well, why can't we get Republicans to and it's simple?
Fund the wall, give the president all the money from the wall up front, because any money promised down the road is never coming.
Number two, it would give the Democrats things they say that they want.
You know, protect uh it would be a DACA fix, separation of families fix.
The president, I know his executive order the other day.
I don't think it's gonna pass muster in any court, but putting that aside, it gives Congress time to do their job.
This is Congress's law.
This is a past president that put this into law.
It's not Donald Trump.
Donald Trump's the only one that stood up and fixed it.
Well, Sean, there are two key questions that are dividing the Republican Party right now on immigration.
The first is whether anyone who came here illegally should have a path to citizenship.
You know, it's my view, and it's the view of the good life and the president that there is a way to be compassionate with legal status with people who've come here through no fault of their own.
But when you give people citizenship in first generation illegal entry into the country, you you build all the wrong incentives into the system.
And my view, the second key question is whether or not the parents of the DACA kids ought to be given some opportunity to uh live here legally and obtain citizenship.
A lot of us think that the problem that you have with with children that we all want to be compassionate for is that their parents are choosing to illegally enter our country against the wishes of our country and against the dignity of our very border.
And so uh the conservatives believe that we can be compassionate to children, but that we cannot reward the illegal alien parents with citizenship, and we cannot create broad view pathways to citizenship.
And I hope that we can make the conservative case on those points so that we can persuade our colleagues.
You know, I I don't think this is difficult, but I don't think the Democrats want a solution either, because they want to keep this as a campaign issue.
And uh as I said, every two and four years, the playbook is the same.
It's you know, the four the four things that Democrats I think are certain, uh, Congressman Biggs that they're gonna do.
They want to impeach Trump, but they don't want to tell us.
They want open borders, they're pretty transparent about that.
They want to keep Obamacare pretty transparent about that, and they want to take back the crumbs as Nancy Pelosi calls them.
In other words, the tax cuts from the hardworking men and women in this country.
That's right.
And you know, we're looking at a you said it we're this is the most uh serious and and uh important midterm election in perhaps my lifetime, and and it's because of the f very things that you're talking about.
They want the open borders, they don't want to give us money to build the wall or secure the borders.
They want to take away the tax reform, which is now produced uh this robust economy, the foundation of an economy that remember it wasn't too long ago that President Obama and Hillary Clinton said, hey, look, we'll never get above uh above one point eight percent GDP growth.
We're not gonna see that kind of growth ever again.
And all it takes is reduction in regulation, also takes is reduction in in taxes, and then people, the great creators that Americans are, create jobs, they create uh wage increases.
The first real wage increase that beats inflation in like 40 years.
And the American people know it.
And so the Democrats, they're left with throwing bombs.
That which is back to Max Steam.
But they do that every single election season.
This is the this is the silly season because they don't have ideas.
Uh all right, we'll have more on Strzok's testimony today.
I'm getting tidbits from uh my sources that I will never reveal.
Uh thank you, Matt Gates.
Thank you, Congressman Biggs, 800-941-SHAWN is a toll-free telephone.
Music Still not sick of winning.
making america great again sean annity's on the air right now All right, let me get to our busy uh phones here.
Joe has been really patient.
Now, Joe apparently is a union guy in where Altoona, Pennsylvania.
What union are you in, Joe?
Uh utility workers, you know, the utility workers of America.
By the way, you guys work hard.
Thank you for what you do.
I mean that.
I mean, I know how hard you work every day.
Thank you.
So, what's on your mind?
This decision today.
I know you want to talk about.
Oh, yeah, real quick.
Um, I correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there's a COPE fund, which I have opted out.
I thought that was the only money that went to the politicians that you had no control over.
Listen, that I know that option is available.
You're absolutely right.
But on the other hand, if we're gonna be realistic and honest about it, there's a lot of pressure.
Well, first of all, you've got your your your uh initiation fees that you pay for unions and union dues that you pay, etc., etc.
And you know and I know that there's a lot of pressure that is brought to bear on a lot of people in a lot of unions to do exactly what I was talking about.
Am I wrong?
I'll I'll admit I'm wrong, but I I know a lot of union guys.
And the problem is I love rank and file guys.
I really do.
They're the heart and soul of the country.
You know, I I I view myself as the dishwasher and the painter and the contractor, because that's you know, two decades of my life, and I know how hard you guys work.
I want you to get the best salary and the best benefits and every I hate bad bosses, you know, and I wasn't, you know, putting my staff on to pat myself on the back, but a lot of these companies, if they would just treat people the right way, the the that there's nobody's gonna go to a union.
Nobody in my that works for me is gonna join a union on this radio show because they're not gonna do better with a union.
It's just not gonna happen.
Why are you rolling your eyes just to annoy me?
You're rolling your eyes to annoy me.
Oh, okay, let's Linda being funny.
But you know what I'm saying?
There's a way to treat people, and if you're doing well, then the employees should do well.
If the company's doing well, let them benefit.
That's why these tax cuts have been so amazing for you know, the forgotten men and women that have jobs that are now getting raises.
Look at what was it, Walmart or Target this week?
$14 an hour.
You know, is now their starting wage, their minimum wage.
Is we don't need the government to tell us it's $8 an hour, $10.
We don't need that.
Because the companies are doing it because now they have more money because the government's getting out of the way.
Does that make sense?
Oh, I agree 100%.
I thought you were gonna have one other quick.
Yeah, go ahead.
What's that?
Go ahead.
One quick question.
I guess there was a vote, something today on the Social Security.
I don't know if you can explain that and tell me your thoughts.
I really don't know what it meant or what it was about.
All right, I'll tell you what you I think you're talking about the well, first of all, they have the big immigration vote that's going on today.
Uh let me let me pull it up when we get back, and we will and we'll literally why don't let just give him the details on that because we have another segment we got to do here, and I don't want them to have to wait a half hour.
We'll come back.
We've got Jim Jordan of Ohio coming up and much more straight ahead.
We've got Jim Jordan of Ohio coming up and we're going to be talking about Jim Jordan of Ohio.
You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
Sean's got more behind the scenes information, more contacts than anybody.
More friends behind the curtain.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
All right, Jay Seculo.
Yeah, Jay Secular will be joining us as well in the next hour.
Also be checking in Greg uh Jarrett.
I see him in the next room over there.
He'll be joining us, and David Schoen will be joining us.
Um so we'll get into Justice Kennedy if you're just getting in the car today.
Uh, there's now a vacancy in the U.S. Supreme Court.
You know, I just want to stop for one second here.
You never Trumpers out there.
I want to address you.
You know, you people that were so critical of me for supporting Donald Trump, and you're not voting for Donald Trump under any circumstances.
I want people to understand there's something deep and profound here.
Because there's a lot of those people that are trying to hide who they were and who they really are.
And what they're kind of trying to do now, and uh, you know, there's a part of me that says, well, better late than never.
But the reality is all those outspoken, I'll never vote for Donald Trump.
And I said, well, that's a half a vote for Hillary.
Now all of a sudden they're trying to make their living.
Sounding as if they're the most pro-Trump people that have ever existed.
I want to actually name names.
Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.
Because they're all full of crap.
And we should do some of them now.
It's done.
But you want to know the sad part of this the only reason some of them now are on board is because they're doing, they're not doing what we do.
When I vet Barack Obama and I do Alinsky and I do Acorn, and I do Reverend Wright and Frank Marshall Davis and Ayers and Dorn and the Church of GD America, I'm getting calls from people like New Kingrich telling me that I'm about to end my career, it's over, I'm going too far, and you need to let it go.
And then of course, I'm I'm like, no, my principles guide me in my decision making.
And I was called an unprincipled conservative when Donald Trump, as I predicted, is governing as or more conservatively than Ronald Reagan.
It's actually the comparisons are eerie.
You've got evil empire, Mr. Garberk down this wall.
You got that, and then you got, let's see, uh Fire and Fury, Little Rocket Man, my buttons bigger than yours, and I'm gonna blow you to smithereens if you if you dare try it.
Now look what happened.
Peace through strength actually works.
He didn't bribe dictators like Clinton or like Obama.
You know, now not only do we have, we wouldn't have had the court decisions the last two days if Hillary were president.
We wouldn't have now another opportunity to put another originalist on the court if Hillary Clinton won.
You know, and then you got I mean, you got the same old predictable people, starting with Bill Crystal.
Not that he's supporting him or George Will, oh, we've got to defeat Donald Trump in the November.
Okay, then what are you gonna get?
You're not getting tax cuts, the crumbs are gonna be taken back.
You get to keep Obamacare as if we haven't had enough damage to the American people and their health care system with Obamacare.
Keep your doctor, keep your plan and save money.
None of that came true.
Then we're gonna have open borders because that's what they want.
And they want to impeach the president.
For what?
And none of these people have had the courage to go out on a limb like we do every day.
We went out on a limb, and I stand by where I stood because I knew Trump.
I knew him.
I knew, and I interviewed him, I looked him in the eye, and my gut told me, wow, this is a this is a no-brainer.
He said he'd pick originalists, he said he'd cut taxes.
He said he wants to build the wall.
He said he'd get rid of burdensome regulations.
He said, if we're fighting wars, we're stupid.
He tried to talk to people, and he wasn't gonna do any more bad deals or blackmail deals that never work anyway.
We're a little rocket man's not firing missiles at Japan, and he's not, he's now literally dismantling missile launch pads and facilities, gives us our hostages back.
He's purging the old guard of his father.
He's not having his yearly hate America rally, and things are getting better.
By the way, Jerusalem is now the capital of Israel.
And the Iranian deal, well, we're out of it.
We just need our 150 billion dollars back.
Thank you, Obama.
And I just I I sit here and I'm watching some of these people.
You know, and NRO was as bad as anybody, and I say that with great, great deference to people like Andy McCarthy, and I mean that, and Victor Davis Hansen and some others.
Even Rich Lowry, to his credit, has come around quite a bit.
Some of the other ones, oh I I mean, these I just can't take it.
But you know something?
Those people that they will never be leaders unless you have skin in the game in this in, you know, this is what we do differently.
This is why this show I think is different.
This is why I don't mind going out on a limb.
I'm willing to risk my career.
I'm willing to put it all on the line for what I believe in.
And trust me, there were people that wanted me dead when I was vetting Obama.
There were people that thought I was crazy that Trump had no chance to win.
There are people that didn't believe that he'd be this successful, that he would govern with the conservative principles he's governing with.
And now that he put Neil Gorsuch on the court, my question to you I'll never vote for Donald Trump people is why?
Where are you now?
And some of you are actually trying to jump on the Trump bandwagon today, because if you had your way, Hillary would be making this choice.
Hillary would be negotiating with Iran and little Rocket Man.
Hillary would never have made Jerusalem the capital.
Hillary would never have cut taxes.
Hillary would have nothing but open borders.
Hillary would now have her second Supreme Court nominee.
So I really don't have a lot of, you know, some of the people that I'm well, because I'm saying it behind Yeah.
You know why I don't want to do it?
Because I'm just, there's a part.
I know people that I could ruin their lives today because of their stupidity, and I just don't do it.
Somewhere deep inside of me, my parents taking me to church every Sunday, the name of the Father and of the Son, of the Holy Spirit, amen.
It got in.
Somehow God got in there.
And I was fighting it tooth and nail.
I didn't want to be in church.
I didn't want to.
I was causing trouble in church.
Then my father made me be an altar boy.
That was worse.
You know, we're drinking the wine behind the it was not good.
I was that was incorrigible.
But yeah, I really do believe strongly in a God.
And I believe the whole story of Jesus.
And I just not, and I believe that there's that he created all of this.
And I don't think God made us to be timid and weak.
I think God, you know, if I'm gonna have this microphone in the honor of this microphone that you give me every day by listening to this program, yeah, I'm gonna vet Obama.
Yeah, I am.
And I'm gonna do the best job I can, even if nobody else is doing it.
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna vet every presidential candidate, and I'm gonna tell you the truth about how I think they're gonna govern.
I'm not gonna hold back.
And even though there was probably at least 50,000 versions of Hannity's career is over, written before the November 8, 2016 elections.
I'm glad it turned out right, not for my sake, for the country's sake.
And I'm doing the same thing now with Robert Muller and his witch hunt and Rod Rosenstein.
And we're doing this exactly.
We're going out on a limb.
I mean, I was kind of happy this week when the Wall Street Journal jumped in.
Gee, a little late, guys.
But the reality is it is the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country.
It's the biggest abuse of power scandal in the history of the country.
And there have been a few of us that have been willing to go out on a limb and do real reporting and get to the truth.
And a part of me should be satisfied in as much as we have corroborated everything.
Hillary broke the law, she committed felonies.
Hillary, in fact, used bleach bit to acid wash her hard drive.
Saying it that way, what's the name of that stupid publication that didn't understand the Hollywood reporter?
I don't have to go to one of their stupid red carpet against.
I don't know why you went the first time.
What a waste of time.
Yeah, she did the biggest clearest obstruction case ever.
Yeah, Christian Saucier went to jail six, six a year for six pictures.
And then we see the Pfizer Warren issues true too.
But Comey and Strzok and McCabe and Page and Loretta Lynch, all of them abuse their power because they put the fix in to save Hillary from an indictment in jail because she was the favored candidate, and then they actively purposefully went to undermine Donald Trump with lies.
And FBI spies inside the Trump campaign, and then lying to Pfizer court judges, violating the FISA laws law, which is so crucial if you believe in the Fourth Amendment to our Constitution against unreasonable search and seizure.
That's all true, too.
We told you March 7th, 2017, there was a Pfizer warrant against the Trump campaign.
And we haven't stopped.
And everything that we've said has been right, accurate, and true.
And I'll be honest, I don't want any credit.
I do think people like Sarah Carter deserve a pulitzer.
But of course, that will never happen in this corrupt world.
And the media, basically just an extension of all things liberal.
What have they done?
They have advanced a lie and a narrative designed to undermine a duly elected president of the United States.
It's the biggest story ever in our lifetime.
If we don't get it right, we're gonna be Venezuela.
If we don't get it right, it's gonna be the former Soviet Union.
If we don't get it right, equal justice, equal application of our laws are done.
It's finished, it's over.
And the foundation of this great republic, this this constitutional republic is the Constitution.
That is the foundation of all of our laws.
You know, that's why, I mean, it's almost a little ironic.
All the cuts of Obama that we've been telling playing.
He actually understood the truth, but he didn't live by the truth.
I'm not an emperor.
I can't do these things by executive fear.
You know, funny, people think that I can just, with the magic wand of a pen fix the law.
No, we have co-equal branches of government.
We have in this country separation of powers, and that's why, for example, the the vacancy now at the U.S. Supreme Court matters.
Who's and Hillary would be choosing.
I don't I am never going to be a Republican again.
I vote for the person I am a conservative.
I'm not a populist, I'm not a nationalist.
My entire career has been one of consistent Reagan conservatism.
I've not changed an iota.
And I know people in this industry, for whatever reason, maybe ratings up and down.
There's always, there's always cycles in news.
And sometimes it's slow news and busy.
But they feel like they've got to remake themselves, and all it is is a means of manipulating you, the American people.
But you know one thing I have learned, and I said this to Mark Levin recently.
You can't really fake it for three hours a day on radio.
Because, like in the election that just passed in 2016, you, the American people are too smart.
You know the, you know, the phonies, you know the showmen, you know the conmen, you know the liars, you know the Johnny come latelys.
You know when people put it on the line and when people don't.
You know what I want to do for the rest of my life?
I just want to serve any way I can.
That's it.
Do my little part and be a spoke in the wheel and just do my part every day.
And part of my part is to do what I always do, and that's climb the tree, go on the out on the smallest limb and the smallest branch, and find the one leaf that didn't fall during the last fall and hang on to that because I know it's the truth.
That's what we do on this show.
For all the people in the media, they don't understand Hannity's number one in K, but why?
That's the secret.
I tell the people the truth.
And I have respect for the people of this country because you make it great, not me.
You get up every day, you work hard, play by the rules, pay your taxes, raise your kids, obey the laws, serve other people every single solitary day, and you don't bitch whine and complain about it, but you're screwed over by your government.
Well, you kind of do complain.
We all do.
And you're screwed over over by your government.
Finally, we now are cleaning up the mess.
That's it.
You want to understand who I am?
That's it in a nutshell.
And I don't give a flying rip what any of these people think.
They disgust me.
In the media.
Johnny come lately.
I have no respect for you at all, and you know who you are.
Final hour roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show.
There is a Supreme Court vacancy.
Justice Kennedy is retired.
There's going to be a fight.
The borking of whoever gets chosen has already begun.
We will go to battle soon.
When we come back, Jay Seculow, David Schoen, and Greg Jarrett.
More of the best of the Sean Hannity Show coming up.
The best of Sean Hannity is on now.
This is how we rule.
We lied in with our hands.
This is how we rule.
The laws are the worst in the whole country.
Our immigration laws are a laughing sock all over the world.
ICE has strayed so far from its mission.
What it's turned into is frankly a terrorist uh organization of its own.
They're not gonna be able to restaurant, they're not gonna be able to stop at a gas station, they're not gonna be able to shop at a department store.
The people are gonna turn on them holding them accountable.
Sean gets the answers.
No one else does.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
We burning down the mashing bullet.
This is how we do.
Sean Hannity Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Now, is it the St. Peter Strzok who was put on the Mueller special counsel team?
Yes.
And this is not the only time he managed to find the text feature on his phone either.
This is the same Peter Strck who said Trump is an idiot.
Hillary should win 100 million to zero.
Now, Mr. Inspector General, that one is interesting to me because he's supposed to be investigating her for violations of the espionage act at the time he wrote that in March of 2016.
He's supposed to be investigating her for violations of the espionage act, and he can't think of a single solitary American that wouldn't vote for her for president.
I mean, can you see our skepticism?
This senior FBI agent not only had her running, he had her winning a hundred million to nothing.
So what if they'd found evidence sufficient to indict her?
What if they had indicted her?
Is this the St. Peter?
He wasn't part of the interview of Secretary Clinton, was he?
Uh, he was present for the interview.
Huh.
I think the overarching uh point here is that uh this whole issue's got to come to resolution.
Uh at some point.
Um Muller and his team, I hope will wrap up the investigation.
Clear the air, one way or the other, whether whether or not there was a collusion with the Russians.
This is a cloud that's hanging over the country, and certainly hanging over this presidency.
And I do hope that happens.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800 941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Trey Gowdy, yeah, rightly pointing out everything that we have been asking questions now that we've had that go back for many, many months.
Uh, and it's interesting to me, very interesting to me, the Trump critic and of course CNN commentator, fake news commentator, James Clapper, is out there saying what he's saying.
I think he wants it to end.
I think it's wishful thinking, because I suspect that he knows when they get to him and his work and handiwork, if you will, and that of Brennan and others and the unmasking scandal and the spies that were inside the Trump campaign, that it's gonna get a little too hot in the kitchen for him, and he probably wants this to go away, which it might eventually now happen.
Uh joining us now, his book is out in next month, early next month.
It's called the Russia Hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump, Greg Jarrett is here.
You know, I guess the the thing that is so so amazing.
Um I'm looking right now at the particular chapter where you actually have the the text messages between Strzok and Page.
Right.
And Peter Strzok is the lead guy in the Clinton investigation, is there in in the interview of Hillary Clinton, is there in the interview of General Flynn, and he's also at the forefront.
He's the leader of the Russia investigation that we're now finding started way before the official start date, because we know that Michael Caputo, who's going to join us in the next half hour, that he was approached by a Russian with the felony record through the Yazoo as an FBI informant and basically saying they had dirt on Hillary Clinton, and then that's how the meeting with Roger Stone took place, but nothing ever happened or came of it.
You know, Peter Strck is the guy who changed the language of the exoneration statement, which initially found that Hillary Clinton violated the law and committed crimes, grossly negligent.
He got on his computer June 6th and changed the words gross negligence to extremely careless.
And who was bending over his shoulder, helping him with that language?
His mistress, uh Lisa Page.
And then two other people were in the room helping, but they're concealed by the inspector general.
And nobody asked the IG, why are you hiding their names?
All we know about we know about one of them now.
Yes.
What is it?
Gladstein?
Yes.
But there's several one is called a lead uh analyst, the other is called uh lawyer number one, the other one's lawyer number two.
So we're not quite sure which is which.
I hear there may be as many as twenty-five other agents that are in the same boat as Strzok and Page that also had involvement in a lot of this.
It may be.
You know, the interesting thing about the changing of the statement that found that she was guilty and then changed the language is that James Comey was asked about that and and confronted with his initial statement in which he found her grossly negligent.
And he said, you know, I don't remember writing that.
I don't remember writing that.
How how could you not remember the most important part of the entire investigation?
So the Hollywood reporter had a hit piece out on me today, and uh apparently they're upset with the use of the word acid wash when I talk about the hard drive.
They actually the headline is Sean Hannity can't stop repeating one of Trump's biggest lies.
And then they go through that.
I said how many times I say acid wash.
I usually say delete, acid wash, bleach bit.
Right.
It's a term.
Do you see any difference between using a software program bleach bit that is designed to remove all forensics, meaning any ability for anybody to find old emails or anything on a computer?
Is there any difference?
Is would it be an accurate description to say you're acid washing the hard drive clean?
They are functionally synonymous terms.
And if you ask the founder of Bleach Bit or the designer of it, he'd tell you that.
I've interviewed him, and as a matter of fact, he has told us that.
Yes.
So they're identical terms, synonymous.
But but this is typical media trying to pick apart small things because with no difference at all.
But here's how they say it.
They don't they don't deny my claim That it happened.
They write the FBI, in a report released in September 2016, two days before Trump's first reference to acid washing, explained what happened.
This is their explanation.
An unnamed employee of the company that maintained Clinton's private server, they could have added illegal private server.
They could have said the one that was hacked by, you know, at least six foreign entities, including confidential top secret information.
They didn't put that in there.
Anyway, Platte Rivers Networks, they forgot to comply.
Forgot.
Yeah, you don't with a December 14 request from a Clinton aid to delete emails older than 60 days.
They forgot to comply then.
And then in late March of 2015, the employee realized the mistake.
And sometime between March 25th and 31st, 2015, uh deleted the Clinton archive mailbox from the server and used Bleachbit to delete the exported uh PST files uh that he had created on the server system containing Clinton's emails.
And then they write BleachBit sounds like a chemical product, but it's actually a free online deletion service, or as the company puts it, it doesn't matter because at the time they deleted it, it had been subpoenaed.
That's right.
And they knew it had been subpoenaed, and they defied a subpoena and they obstructed justice and should have been charged.
Instead, these guys were given immunity in exchange for nothing.
What prosecutor gives immunity for free?
That never happens.
Just like well, look, we actually had Andrew Zeeem, he was on this program.
Let me play for you what he said to us.
It certainly is a sophisticated device.
Of course, a cloth can only wipe fingerprints, but uh bleach bit can wipe that information.
So as Trey Gowdy said, not even God can read it.
Yeah.
So in other words, it really works.
Your technology, in other words, for example, if I delete on my em on my computer right now, a bunch of emails.
If I delete uh a bunch of whatever, it's still on my computer.
It would be recoverable by a computer forensic expert, by the FBI, for example.
They'd be able to find every single thing I did on my computer if I just deleted it the old fashioned way.
The old-fashioned way you're right, doesn't permanently di delete information.
Um in the case of email, things are a lot more complicated, and that's why uh Hillary took a two-pronged approach, right?
Her aide smashed her mobile devices with a hammer because there's copy of the emails on the um on the mobile device, and then the IT guy from Platte River Networks ran bleach bit on the server, and that deletes another copy of the emails that were on the server end.
So this was a w would bleach bit or the use of bleach bit, if I if you found out I was under investigation by the FBI, and let's say I called you, you're the founder, you're the lead developer of BleachBit.
I call you and I say, Andrew, Andrew, it's Sean Hannity.
The FBI wants to look at my computer.
Um what do you think I ought to do?
And you tell me to use BleachBit.
And you'd say, if you really want to hide stuff, you want to erase stuff, bleach bit works.
You tell me that, right?
And you're confident in your product.
Bleachbit can uh yeah, definitely delete information that's so that people can't hide it.
Uh sounds like acid washing to me.
I'm sticking with acid wash.
Well, then you called it a program.
And I've been with you repeatedly when you have referred to it as a program.
Let's go back to your book and you put all of the comments of struck in page.
Right.
And then you see that the very same people that it's obvious Hillary obstructed justice.
You have no doubt.
She obstructed justice and she mishandled classified documents.
And destroyed Crunchyroll and destroyed them.
Yes.
And those are all felonies.
All felonies.
And you do you believe as I do that the fix was in which struck Paige McCabe?
Just a year before Comey cleared Hillary Clinton.
He prosecuted Brian Nishimora, a naval reservist, for doing exactly what Hillary Clinton did on a smaller scale.
And in the FBI press release, it literally says he did it without intent.
And they prosecuted him under gross negligence.
How could Comey then a year later say there are no such cases in which a prosecutor has brought such a are there statute of limitations, or could Hillary still be charged for these crimes?
Which you could still be able to do.
Well what what could she be charged with now?
Well, if you backdate from now all the way to the later Classified documents out of a hundred and ten of them.
Some of them have the the statute has not run.
So she could be prosecuted on those.
But on the early ones, no.
So this guy, Brian.
Brian Nishamoron.
Or in the case Christian Shaussey.
So when Comey stood in front of cameras July 5th and said no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case, his prosecutors and his FBI had brought such a case.
And all of this is in your book.
Sure.
So that is the scheme.
It's called the Russian hoax the illicit scheme to clear Hillary.
All right, you explain the clear Hillary part and frame Donald Trump.
What's the framing Donald Trump part?
Everything that we've seen?
That and a whole lot more.
They began the investigation, uh a criminal investigation without evidence of a crime, which violates FBI rules.
They then decided, let's make it a counterintelligence probe because we know we have no evidence of a crime, and yet they had no intelligence.
And Peter Strzok signed the documents on July 31st, officially launching the probe.
But the FBI began it long before that, and they were using confidential informants.
Unbelievable.
So we have confidential informants.
We have Hillary Boughton paid for Russian lies that have been debunked, put together by a foreign national, paid through funneled money through a law firm to an op research group, to the foreign national being investigated for using a foreign national.
Trump which didn't use a foreign national uh through payments is being investigated.
Oh, it surely is.
It's a double standard world.
Hillary Clinton Clinton can do anything she wants.
Uh that's why we always talk about an equal justice under the law, equal application under our laws, and now if we don't fix it, this is gonna end very badly for the country.
We'll continue more Greg Jarrett's uh new book.
It's out uh just a couple of weeks now, The Russia hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump.
Guaranteed number one New York Times bestseller.
You can pre-order it on Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
And Hannity.com.
Yes.
Fighting the Trump hating liberal media one day at a time.
This is The Sean Hannity Show.
And as we continue, Greg Jarrett is in studio with us.
The Russia hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton, frame Donald Trump, and uh I I'd be honest.
I watched you write the whole book.
A lot of people sell books.
They don't write it all the way.
You wrote every word yourself.
You know, the tough part of it was um all of the footnotes.
There are seven hundred footnotes because I wanted to source everything, and I made the conscious decision, even though I have anonymous sources who are you know very well placed and very reliable.
I chose not to use them for the book.
So everything in that book, all the laws, the case laws, the statutes, all of the facts are in the end notes.
And you know, I'll just want to give chapter titles because it's sort of like I watched you give birth to all of them and events were happening as you were writing the book.
Correct.
Which is amazing.
And then so I'd go in, I'd say, Well, you gotta you gotta alter chapter six now because something had just happened that day.
But you you know, you first talk about the insidious abuse of power, and this this is the heart of our constitutional republic.
Are we going to be a country that is based on a rule of law predicated on a constitution?
It's either yes or no.
We're gonna either have equal application of our laws or not.
You give the full rundown on a chapter on Hillary's email server, uh Comey contorting the law to basically rig the investigation, how the fix is in there.
You do have one chapter on Clinton Greed and Uranium One, which we're gonna get back to eventually.
Right.
Then you talk about the fraudulent case against Donald Trump, the fabricated dossier used against Trump, the government abuse of surveillance, and of course, FISA meeting with Russians is not a crime, which nobody wants to hear.
And then, of course, firing Flynn, Sessions recusal, and obstruction of justice and the illegitimate appointment of Mueller.
It's a full comprehensive, I'm gonna call this the Bible for those of us that care about the biggest abuse of power scandal in our history.
We will refer to this book for years to come.
I you know, I think it is a thorough and complete examination uh to date of all of the evidence that the FBI decided for political reasons to absolve Hillary Clinton in the face of obvious clear-cut crimes.
And then on the very day that Hillary Clinton was cleared.
The FBI first met with the British spy who had compiled this completely laughable phony dossier.
And they never told four Pfizer court judges the truth.
That's right.
They never verified, and it turned out to be false information.
Even Comey himself says it's unverified.
And the only reference the bulk of application.
That's right.
The only reference they make to it is buried in two footnotes, and you would have to be able, you'd have to be clairvoyant to discern what it meant.
So the Pfizer judges were left in the dark.
It's called The Russia Hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump.
It's just a couple of weeks now from its debut.
Uh, Greg Jarrett, who's been all over this, it will be a book we refer to a lot as people get indicted in the next year to come.
All right, we'll take a quick break.
When we come back, Michael Caputo.
Well, it appears that uh an FBI informant tried to set him and Roger Stone up according to their story.
They'll tell us all about it next.
More of the best of The Sean Hannity Show coming up.
The Sean Hannity Show coming up.
You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show.
Right, the liberal vitriol and hatred now.
Well, N Maxime Waters completely unhinged.
She wants people, you know, stalked at their houses in public places.
Uh no peace, no sleep.
I don't even know what that means, but she wants people followed at their house in public places.
She wants them confronted.
We saw what happened with Sarah Huckabee, uh, of course, the other day, and then we saw we saw what happened.
Peter Fonda threatening the child, the 12-year-old of Melania and President Trump, and it gets worse than that.
Now we have Pam Bondi can't even go watch a movie for crying out loud.
Uh Maxime Waters telling people confront them at restaurants, gas stations, public places, even their own homes.
We saw what happened to the Secretary Nielsen, and she got chased out of a restaurant.
They sh chase her down at her house.
Then, of course, Tommy Larin gets water thrown on her.
Then you got MSNBC hosts asking, you know, if women are dead inside, uh, and whether or not how do you resist the temptation to run up and wring Sarah Huckabee Sanders' neck.
I mean, it is creating nothing but an atmosphere of hatred and violence.
And guess what's gonna happen?
Something is gonna happen.
And when it does, you'll see a correlation with this rhetoric and what actually happens.
Let's play the montage.
We're oddly influential with the guy who wants to kill us.
And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything.
You but this is the hallmark of revolution.
Yes, I'm angry.
Yes, I am outraged.
Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
You know, I had a dream the other night about that I was playing golf with Donald Trump, and I was standing beside him with a club in my hand, and I was, you know, considering my options when I suddenly woke up.
You know, it's one of those dreams where you want to just get back to sleep so you can finish it.
You know, put Mr. Burgess up against uh Sean Hannity.
He'll tear him up.
I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors.
I want you to talk to them whether they're independent or whether they are Republican.
I want you to argue with them and get in their faces.
Press always asked me, don't I wish I were debating him?
No, I wish you're in high school I could Take it behind the gym.
That's what I wish.
What we've got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets.
Ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done and came together and supported those ideals who have made the difference.
They've marched, they've bled.
Yes, some of them have died.
This is hard.
Every good thing is.
We have done this before.
We can do this again.
As far as I'm concerned, the tea potter can go straight to hell.
In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's holster.
Oh, is gonna be our saving grace, you know, when he's about to f and nuke Finland or something.
She's gonna walk into the bedroom and you know, yeah.
Daddy.
Daddy.
Don't do it, Daddy.
He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig, he's a con, a bullshit artist, a mutt.
He's an idiot.
He talks how he wants to punch people in the face.
Well, I'd like to punch him in the face.
We are graced with Sarah's presence tonight.
I have to say I'm a little starstruck.
I love you as Aunt Lydia and the handmaid's tale.
Hey, so you know my says Why are you even out here?
Get that out of here.
Shame!
Trump!
It's no longer down with Trump.
It's Trump.
You have members of your cabinet that have been booed out of restaurants.
He had protesters taking up at the house.
He sang no face, no sleep.
No case, no sleep.
And guess what?
We're gonna learn this battle because while you try and cook the Bible, Jeff Sessions and others, you really don't know the Bible.
God is on our side.
And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
And you push back on them.
And you tell them they're not welcome.
Any more, anywhere.
All right, joining us now.
She's the attorney general of the great state of Florida.
I wonder your term is coming to an end, right?
I am.
I'm out of a job.
January 2019.
The liberals will be happy, right?
No, I think actually you might take on a bigger role somewhere else if my if my gut tells me.
Well, I would think you're a natural selection, maybe.
You've gotten along with the president.
You've been friends with the president a long time.
I adore the president.
You know I'm not gonna talk about that.
You're not gonna tell me anything.
All right.
Um, I felt really bad.
So I guess there's a movie out about Mr. Rogers.
A documentary about Mr. Rogers and Sean.
Yeah.
He practiced tolerance.
He was ahead of his time.
Anti-bullying.
I was never the big Mr. Rogers fan.
Anti-bullying.
There's nobody in the world that's as nice, kind, and sweet as Mr. Rogers.
And I'm like, all right, that's a little too syrupy sweet for me.
I mean, at least cartoons like Tom and Jerry were had real life violence in it, or the roadrunner.
I did like Red Renner, but it was a it was it was kind of cool though, because he was ahead of his time.
Bullying is a big deal for me now with these school kids.
Right.
And he was anti-bullying back in the 60s.
I mean, crazy.
You know, before that was even a word.
And and all the other things he did about you can have differences, but be tolerant.
So I find it very ironic that, you know, I chose to be accosted in a Mr. Rogers documentary.
All right, so let's go through what happened.
I mean, you have security as a high highly elected official in Florida.
What happened?
I do.
You know, and I think frankly, I was getting a bit complacent.
Um, pulled up, there was a line outside.
And so um my my trooper who's wonderful, I just said, Oh, just park the car and we'll we'll jump out and grab the tickets, waiting in line, you know, families out there.
Right.
And um, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, uh, a woman walks up to me and says, Um You're Pam Bondi.
I'd like to talk to you.
And I said, sure, hi.
And she said, you know, I knew right off it wasn't gonna be pleasant, though.
And and so I tried to have a dialogue with her, and she said, You're ripping babies out of the hands of mothers.
Oh my god.
and and and and I said, Okay.
So there then there are two big guys, like really big or three next to her.
You know, I I didn't even make eye contact with them because they were so big.
And I I'm looking at the big thing.
But meanwhile, you're a security guard and he was parking.
And it's not his fault, it was mine.
I got out and said, Hey, we're fine.
We're in line at a movie, you know.
I've been I I have been in crowds with you, and everybody, ninety percent of the people of Florida love you, but all right, so how fast did he get there?
So so so um this this dialogue not dialogue, sorry.
Well, I tried to have a dialogue with her, and I said, Well, I'm glad you're filming this.
I'm glad you're taping this, because let me tell you, I'm not in favor of those mothers being separated from their children, and I'm glad the president signed an order correcting that.
And I said, This is the thing that Congress needs to act on.
She didn't even know who her congressman was.
So that's when basically all heck broke loose, and these big guys, because they knew they had lost.
And so they've never shown that video.
They just laid into me F you this at the top of their lungs.
And so try being the person with me, right?
You know, they're in his face saying, calling him the P word, you know, come on, aren't you gonna protect her?
Come on, come on, come on.
They wanted him They wanted him to move.
They wanted him to hit them so he could be on the front page of the paper the next day.
Right.
And so I'm trying to calm him down, saying this is what they want.
This is what they want, this is what they want.
The rule is is they can't touch you.
The minute they put their hands on you, then you have a right to defend yourself.
They were inches of they weren't they were probably six inches away from my face at that point, but they were trying to get him to protect me.
These are big guys, and they really think they're so tough that they're literally trying to physically confront a woman.
Now it gets worse.
Listening.
It gets worse.
Okay.
So, you know, th they're having it out with him.
So a gentleman and his wife, like an older gentleman, and if he's listening, thank you, walked up and said, Hey, it's Friday night.
Come on, come on.
And they got in his face and his wife pulled him away.
I mean, people were people were frightened.
And it was it was it was an interesting so go buy the tickets, um, ignored him, tried to walk through the vestibule.
It was at Tampa Theater in Old Taver, try to walk through, and then that's when they surrounded me.
And so then by then How many people were there then?
Uh I think three guys, only three at that point, I think, because they they were around they blocked me from walking in.
Right.
And I don't I don't know if the woman was with them or not.
Um so then my trooper came and um and start you know, I thought it was over.
So we went in and waited in the concession stand.
Right.
And you know, and waited in line to and so then all of a sudden out of nowhere, I think my trooper thought it was over, and he had thought we had walked into the theater, I believe.
So he walks, and they that this is when it got really ugly.
They come up out of nowhere, and he was super tall, this this this guy, and and then the other one, they they were big.
And that you can clearly see them on the later video.
We'll show it tonight.
So screaming in my head, um, spit on me.
Now I couldn't prove and and I'm I'm I'm very fair.
By the way, that's assault.
It is, but I he was yelling and like he was yelling so hard my hair was blowing.
So I couldn't tell if it was an intentional spit.
So we ordered the video from the the theater and they didn't have video.
So, you know, and uh, you know, frankly, they assaulted me when they surrounded me.
But Sean, that's what they wanted.
Is there any law though you're not allowed to intimidate and then harass people this much?
They they have to file an order of protection.
They can yell and scream, but if they come near me again, uh we we've identified the three of them now.
I will get a restraining order.
So go in the movie after the movie, um by then there are four marked units there, and they said, We're gonna take you out the back way, and I said, Oh no, you're not.
Right, you went out the front way.
I I go I'm walking out the way I walked in.
And then that's the video that you saw posted.
Well, good for you.
I mean, uh, I don't uh it's it really bothers me as I've always felt like all right, if you want to pick on me, I'm I'm game.
I put myself in this arena.
But you're gonna pick on children.
Baron Trump, we're gonna pick on a twelve year old kid who can't defend themselves.
Right.
You know what?
You come up to me Well, when I was a prosecutor, I got I got robbed by two gang members on a bike.
Not only did I get my purse back, I got their bike.
But I can't do that anymore now that I'm elected.
Well, listen, there's nothing that anyone would like for me to throw the first punch because then they think they're gonna be rich.
But um I'm prepared for them.
Uh C.O. Bryant is with us, the uh pastor uh and a conservative.
And you know, I know when you wrote and and created the film The Runaway Slave, you took a lot of heat also.
What's going on in society, sir?
Everything is good, Sean, and thank you so much with me, but thank you so much for having me on because what happened to Attorney General Bundy should have never happened.
And Maxine Waters does not care anything about the children at the border.
In fact, America has done those young people a favor by taking them in, feeding them, giving them medication, and protecting them from people who have placed them.
But I want to stay focused, but now they're going after women and children.
Now they're actually saying meet them in restaurants, meet them in their homes, meet them in gas stations, confront them the way the attorney general was confronted.
That has to stop.
But stay right there.
We'll take a break.
Still waiting to fly out all those libs who promised to leave if Trump were elected.
The jet is ready.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
You are making a week better at Matt Tops.
Matt Tops got my chest.
Cancer!
You're a president.
What would Mr. Roger think about you and your legacy in Florida?
Take it away from her.
All right, as we continue with uh Pastor C. O. Bryant, Pam Bondi, the attorney general of Florida, she was uh literally surrounded, screamed at uh somebody speaking spitting, if you will, on her face.
And this is happening to all these women now.
It is, and and and Sean, when when that video, the aftermath video, which was tame compared to what they did, came out.
A state senator Dana Young contacted me and said, Whoa, this happened to me, and that's the same guy that did it to me.
I'm getting very nervous now.
Absolutely.
And then a state rep, Jackie Toledo, was at a coffee shop with her little kids, same thing, screaming at her.
I don't know all the details, screaming in her face.
But I do.
Sean, those people that accosted me, the violence in their eyes, the person I was with said the same thing.
Never seen anything like it.
If they had had a weapon, they would have used it on me.
I have no doubt.
There is a design, Sean, to unravel our the fundamental principles of our nation.
And they're turning it into a racial football, even with the Central Americans that are coming up here.
And uh that is what we have to pay attention to.
It's the fundamental unraveling of why are they attacking young kids?
Why are they attacking Melania, Ivanka, Secretary Nielsen, Pam Bondi, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Uh why are they why are they going after you know, these people?
Why are they going after women?
Tommy Larin gets hit with water uh and attacks.
She goes out, you know, she does Man on the Street for Hannity, the TV show, and you know, these people are, you know, not only the vile things they say, but the advocation of uh violence in a lot of instances.
They have nothing else but to create the chaos.
Donald Trump has surprised every one of them in being as successful as he has been.
And so this type of vitriol has to be launched.
I deal with that in the book you endorse.
So what do you do next, Pam?
Well, you know, I uh I want to call on Americans to to I want to call on Maxine Waters to back off what she said and say, you know, you want to protest, protest, but do it with tolerance and dignity and civility.
All right, Pam Bondi will be on Hannity tonight.
We've got the video.
We'll show you.
We'll also chronicle all of the insanity that is now unfolding before our eyes, all because they lost.
That's what it all comes down to.
And their little Russia investigation failed also.
All right.
And don't forget C. O. Bryant.
Thank you, sir.
And uh by the way, the race for freedom and runaway slave or some of his work and you can always get it at his website.
