	All right, glad you're with us.
	And happy Friday to you.
	We got a really important uh interview coming up with the chairman of the House Intel committee, Devin Nunes.
	Um, there is so much percolating out there.
	It is officially now a TikTok that I can mention about unbelievable information as it relates to FISA and what a scam and abuse of power it was.
	A lot of it relates to the 20 missing redacted pages in the last FISA memo, and I'm told that there are emails that corroborate what a devastating fraud this entire thing was, and we expect a lot of this to come out sometime next week.
	And to the extent I guess it's possible, we'll ask Chairman Nunes uh about all of this uh as the program unfolds today.
	Glad you're with us.
	And uh also we have was starting a new series today, made in America.
	Although it's getting very interesting, uh it's there are so many unbelievable success stories in American business.
	I love the fact that we have we can now say American made, American jobs, American manufacturing, American products made in America.
	Well, Hannity, that is very myopic of you because I want my fellow I'm not gonna ever apologize for wanting the people in this country to have the most opportunity first.
	And if you think for a second that there's any other country out there that wants another country to succeed before their country succeeds, then you're you're living in a fantasy world that is not rooted in any kind of what is real reality.
	And I think the fact that we want America to succeed and America to be successful is a good thing.
	We got some more job numbers today, and I think this is pretty amazing.
	You know, discussing this morning's unemployment report, uh Charles Payne works for the Fox Business Network, uh friend of the program, tossed out an amazing statistic that I think really spotlights the remarkable transformation that this economy now has undergone since President Trump took office a little over 18 months ago.
	He said he looked at all the ADP reporting yesterday.
	Do you realize, and these were the jobs that Obama said were never, ever, ever, ever coming back?
	830,000 new manufacturing jobs created since Donald Trump's been president.
	And during the prior 19 months under Obama, there was only 26,000 manufacturing jobs created.
	Let me give you the numbers again.
	19 months of Trump, 830,000 new manufacturing jobs, only 26,000 manufacturing jobs created during the last 19 months of Obama's presidency.
	And Obama said those jobs were not going to be coming back, and this is the point.
	You know, the president's been on the phone with corporations, with companies, car companies, carrier air conditioner, Apple, and all the rest of them.
	And literally and specifically asking what regulations are in the way of you creating a better business environment in this country.
	In other words, what can we do to help you To stay here beyond getting rid of regulations and tax incentives, et cetera.
	In other words, building in states like Michigan and Wisconsin and Ohio and Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, the ones that matter, but those are also the states that took the biggest hit in large part because Obama, you know, is telling us for you know to accept what is a new normal.
	You know, the only president in history that never reached 3% GDP growth for a single year of his presidency that took on more debt than every other president combined before him, and that gave us, you know, another 13 million Americans dependent on food stamps and 8 million more in poverty.
	Those are horrific statistics.
	For those folks who've lost their job right now, because a plant went down to Mexico.
	You know, that isn't going to make you feel better.
	And so what we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the job that are coming in now, because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back.
	Why would we ever allow them to go?
	Why would the federal government get in the way of people prospering?
	You know what bothers me about?
	It's such an arrogant, elitist pseudo-intellectual comment that it's like, we, those jobs that are never coming back.
	Well, here's the problem.
	If you only created 26,000 manufacturing jobs or were created in your last 19 months, and Trump, who's been lobbying, fixing, transforming the bureaucracy, ending burdensome regulation on business, creating a business-friendly environment, changing the tax laws, allowing repatriation of money parked overseas, et cetera, so that these companies can build factories and manufacturing centers for us.
	And you got 800, 830,000, those jobs are coming back.
	You know, it's, I guess it's so easy for these elites to just sit back in their, you know, high-end mighty chambers or whatever they're talking about, because every one of those Americans that used to live in Detroit or Michigan or somewhere in Ohio or Pennsylvania, every one of those 13 million more Americans on food stamps and 8 million more Americans in poverty, those are real people.
	These are real families.
	There's real devastation, there's real suffering, and there's real consequences to bad governing.
	And now that's all beginning to change because you have a president that cares about the forgotten men and women.
	I don't understand why these people in Washington, they don't understand what life is like for the average person in this country that gets up every day, shovels a little coffee down their throat, maybe takes a bite of a donut or an egg,
	and they get their kids, you know, washed, cleaned, dressed, teeth brushed, out the door, take them to school, they put it in there 12, 14 hours a day, they come home, and they usually, you know, throw together some macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper, whatever, or maybe chicken or whatever they're cooking that day and a couple of vegetables.
	And then they get into bed and they pass out after maybe, you know, spending an hour with their kids on their homework.
	That's a lot, you know.
	Why can't America be profitable?
	I kept saying this during the, you know, because we've been such a stupid country as it relates to energy.
	I mean, we have this opportunity.
	We have more energy than Russia, the Middle East, and everywhere in between combined when you factor in Anwar and you factor in natural gas and liquefied natural gas and you factor in uh coal and you factor in ethanol and corn that are grown by our farmers, you factor it all in together.
	We have all of our needs right here in America.
	And these energy jobs, they even pay, they're paying these truck drivers 100 grand a year with overtime, 110, 115 grand a year, and maybe they were making 30, or maybe they were making 40 grand a year or 50 grand a year, but now they're doing better.
	Well, we can multiply that effect by moving faster and having a goal of energy independence and as quickly a timetable as possible.
	That is gonna transform the lives of millions of American families.
	You know what?
	Why shouldn't They have a nice house in a nice neighborhood, a safe neighborhood, drive a decent car or truck, and put money away for retirement so they can have a maybe buy a place down in the villages or wherever they want to live.
	And they can play some golf, go fishing, do whatever they want to do after they work their 40 years in life, 50 years in life.
	You know, why can't they have a decent, you know, vacation once a year?
	Go out to dinner every two weeks.
	You know, Americans are not Americans are not afraid to work.
	That's another myth that drives me absolutely none.
	Well, man, that's too good.
	Americans won't do these jobs.
	It's total bull.
	That's tall.
	That's just a lie.
	It's a total myth.
	You know, you have, on the one hand, you have Democrats always thinking, well, this is a new constituency if we have open borders that'll keep us in power for generations.
	Then you got, you know, corporate America wanting cheap labor.
	No, no cheap labor.
	How about we give you better?
	Look at what is happening at places like Costco and Walmart and Target and other stores.
	Their minimum wage is 14 bucks an hour.
	And they're giving bonuses.
	And they're taking, they've taken the tax cut benefits and they're passing it on to their employees.
	I love those stores for doing that.
	I love those stores anyway.
	You know, but again, I'm one of the smelly Walmart people that uh is an irredeemable deplorable that clings to my god gun Bible and religion.
	All right, I'm sorry, I'm guilty as charged.
	Smelly people.
	We're the smelly Walmart people.
	Anyway, just to continue with this report, in July, the unemployment rate fell to 3.9%.
	Non-farm payroll employment rose by 150,000 jobs.
	Key sectors that saw the biggest gains and new hires were professional and business services, manufacturing, health care, and social assistance.
	Actually, the job creation figures were revised upwards in both May and June as well.
	So you add another 60,000 new jobs to the total.
	And when you add May and June's uptick, you've got 217,000 new jobs for the month.
	Well, those are 217,000 people, families, lives that are going to be better off.
	You know, I don't understand this.
	This, you know, you go to the election in 95 days.
	I mean, I can't even believe that there's even a thought of a blue wave when Nancy Pelosi refers to our tax cuts as crumbs, and she wants to raise taxes, and she's saying it as Elizabeth Warren, they want their crumbs back.
	If it's only crumbs, let's they won't why do they want them back so desperately?
	Or the fact that everyone is talking about even Obama now eliminating ice.
	We eliminate ice, we don't protect our borders.
	Where are a lot of the drugs coming in?
	These cartels literally feeding our kids in big cities and small towns, these opioids, and these kids are getting addicted and dying.
	Talked to Eric Bowling the other day.
	He lost his son because of this crap.
	And it's an epidemic.
	Control the borders.
	Go down to a security hearing with Governor Perry at the time at the border in Texas, seven-year period, 642,000 crimes committed against Texans alone.
	Seven-year period, including horrible crimes in some cases, like murder.
	You know, you just go over this.
	Manufacturing added another 37,000 jobs for the month, which is more than the 26,000 that Obama added in his last 19 months.
	And after 36,000 in June.
	And we're adding nearly 40,000 manufacturing jobs a month.
	And durable manufacturing accounted for nearly all the increase as the industrial and blue-collar uh employees in the transportation, equipment, machinery, electronics, instrument sectors were hiring.
	And over the last 12 months, manufacturing has added 320,000 uh 27,000 new jobs.
	You know, this, I'll tell you more about this when we get back.
	So Rasmussen polled yesterday at the president at 50%, but that's not even the big number.
	I mean, look at this demographically.
	Now that we have 14 state historic low unemployment, historic low unemployment, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, African Americans, and women in the workforce.
	14 states record lows.
	Anyway, Rasmussen shows in his survey that President Trump's approval rating among African American voters now stands at a staggering 29%.
	Well, that's more than triple of what it was in November of 2016.
	This is transformative.
	And that as Pastor Scott said on TV last night, he's doing more to help the black community than any president our lifetime.
	He's bringing jobs and revitalization to every town and city in the country.
	So that's what he's supposed to do.
	And he's doing it at the speed of Trump, which makes it even better.
	All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity.
	So all this great economic news, it's all about, was all about 2016 and is all about and should always be all about the men and women in this country, the people of this country.
	And when government becomes, in the sense the how do you say the obstacle to success, it's got to be changed.
	Everybody thinks, you know, the government is going to be the government.
	The government is not going to be there for you.
	The whole premise, keep your doctor, keep your plan, save less, save money, pay less, was one big hoax and lie perpetrated on you, the American people.
	You know, all this push and the Democratic Party moving so hard, socialist left, with promises that they will never ever be able to fulfill, as evidenced by what happened with healthcare.
	It turned into an unmitigated disaster.
	Now, Republicans, I want them to step up and finish the job.
	I know they got rid of the individual mandate, and it was literally on a T, and John McCain decided to change his vote.
	I'm not gonna, you know, let's not go down and re-argue old issues here.
	But it's gonna matter if we can pick up five Senate seats, hold the Senate, hold the House, we could fix that.
	If you want the borders secure and you don't want to eliminate ice and you don't want open borders, well, you can fix that by who it is you're gonna vote for.
	There's gonna be about 45 to 50 districts in this next midterm election that are gonna matter.
	We're gonna spell it out every next week every single district that's gonna matter the most.
	This is important for all of us.
	If you don't want Obama, if you want Obamacare gone, if you want our borders secured, if you don't want to be dragged through the misery of this idiotic impeachment that the Democrats want to go through based on no evidence, if you want to hold on to the crumbs, meaning the thousands of dollars in tax benefits you have, if you want a president that's gonna keep encouraging manufacturers to move to America and build their factories and manufacturing centers here, you know.
	If you if you want somebody that's tough on national security that stopped Rocket Man from firing missiles over Japan, now the the bodies of our brave soldiers coming home and our hostages coming home and all those benefits, and you want it out of the Iranian deal, and you want a Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, and a president that had the courage to do it.
	This is what's in play in 95 days.
	All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean is our toll free telephone number.
	As I stretched to the printer, which was really far away.
	So this so-called Russian Facebook hack, we now find out actually targeted Trump.
	This is on Brightbart.com.
	You know, little detail that your fake newsers leaving out their breathless reporting, the latest so-called Russian hack attack against Facebook of the same Russian hackers who supposedly work so hard, if you believe the left, and they didn't.
	They just wanted to sow chaos.
	And there's no evidence, it's been proven over and over again that it ever helped Donald Trump in any way, shape, matter, or form, nor did it impact the election in any way, shape, matter, or form.
	Anyway, the same ones that we're supposed to be so outraged about.
	We now find out that Facebook announced today they're banning 32 inauthentic Facebook pages with connections to previously banned accounts linked to Russians, Russia's Internet Research Agency.
	All the examples of inauthentic pages highlighted by Facebook, however, were leftist anti-Trump ones.
	Oh, that's not good.
	That goes against the narrative.
	Robert Muller had some very, very busy day these last couple of days.
	And I see that Robert Mueller has now grilled the madam uh of Elliot Spitzer.
	Remember that case?
	Anyway, no holds barred attempt to find somebody, anybody who'll say that Donald Trump colluded with Russia.
	Now we do have collusion evidence, and the evidence is right there transparent in front of our face, and we've been playing it all week.
	Adam Shift is colluding with a Russian, thinking they've got naked pictures on Donald Trump.
	It's like the funniest audio we've ever heard.
	I'll play it later for Devin Nunes when he joins us of the House Intel Committee, the chairman of that committee.
	And then we have Hillary, of course, paying for the phony Russian dossier that they they use to lie to you, the American people, and propagandize you and misinform you in the lead up to the 2016 election, so that you would think horrible things about Trump that weren't true.
	And then it got even worse when they lied to Pfizer court judges and applications to spy on a Trump campaign associate in the lead up to an election.
	Not just the original application, but the three subsequent applications.
	Anyway, the investigators with uh special counsel Robert Muller's office on Wednesday interviewed Kristen Davis.
	Remember her?
	The former, well, I guess prostitution mogul.
	Is that the right word?
	The madam went to prison for her ties to New York governor Elliott Spitzer.
	Why does she go to jail and Spitzer goes free?
	It's a fair question.
	Anyway, dubbed the uh Manhattan madam.
	She voluntarily met with federal investigators regarding a relationship with Trump advisor.
	Or, you know, I don't know.
	I guess we'll bring Roger Stone back.
	I don't know that Roger Stone was any way connected with the Trump campaign on an official basis at all.
	I don't even think he was.
	I know he's known Trump for a lot of years.
	I guess been friends with him for a lot of years, but he's been friends with this madam lady too, apparently for a number of years.
	I mean, Roger Stone's just a pretty colorful character.
	It has a tattoo of Richard Nixon.
	Anyway, the network noted that it is unclear what the focus of the interview was or how she's connected to Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
	There is no Russian interference in the 20 years as it relates to the Trump campaign.
	I mean, this is the absurdity of what's going on in the Manafort trial.
	And I don't have a clue what Paul Manafort did or did not do in 2016.
	But I know that the only reason that he got indicted is because they were dredging up an old previously researched and put in mothballs investigation into Paul Manafort to put the screws to him to make him sing or compose in the hopes that they can prosecute or impeach Donald Trump.
	But we also know that this trial of the century, if you watch the left-wing media, we know that it has nothing to do with Russia.
	It has nothing to do with the 2016 campaign.
	It has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
	It has nothing to do with collusion.
	And this is what they think their big cases.
	And Hillary runs free.
	And she paid for Russian lies and propagated distortion, propaganda, misinformation, tried to manipulate the American people.
	And then her friends in the FBI and the DOJ, the upper echelon, not the rank and file guys that do their good work every day.
	They took it specifically out of those guys' hands in the field offices, which by the way, you know, the heroes I'm telling you in this story in the end are going to be FBI agents.
	They're going to be the rank and file guys.
	They're going to be the guys that wouldn't dare do what their bosses did.
	Anyway, she's the one that had that whole investigation rigged and fixed in a phony, you know, exoneration written before any investigation took place.
	They didn't even interview her or 17 other key witnesses in the case.
	It's unbelievable the times we're living in.
	If you don't have equal justice under the law, and you don't have equal application of our laws, and you rig an investigation for a favored candidate, and you have a stated goal of stopping the other candidate, and going into phony investigations with that, and then even spying on having spies in the Trump campaign.
	I actually think it's going to turn out to be worse than that.
	And then you also use an unverified Clinton bought and paid for funneled money.
	You know, op research, foreign national Russian sources that even the guy that put it together says, I have no idea if any of this crap is true.
	That becomes the basis to lie to Pfizer court judges, purposely withhold information to these judges about who paid for this dossier, and then tell the judges act like it's gospel truth when they never even bothered to take the time to even verify it as per FISA law, as per FBI protocol.
	There's not one FBI agent, I'm telling you.
	These are good people.
	And they love their jobs and they respect the law.
	That it will not tell you privately that what they did here is absolutely would get everybody else fired.
	But in the end, they want to tell this.
	They want to tell that story, but they can't tell that story until they get subpoenaed.
	So now we got the man.
	Now we're interviewing the Manhattan Madam.
	Yeah, I mean, really?
	Is that where it's all gone?
	Why?
	Because uh they're going after Roger Stone is not even officially with the campaign.
	And they've got Adam Schiffless Schiff on tape, colluding with the Russians.
	He thinks it's a Russian that's going to give him naked pictures of Donald Trump.
	And that Vladimir Putin is seen them and he's compromised.
	And he's making a deal.
	Look, the idea that anybody in politics is going to turn down an opportunity to get op research.
	Talking to people is not a crime.
	And if you're seeking op research, well, I guess it's a hell of a lot better if it turns out to be true than the lies that Hillary paid for in an effort to propagandize and misinform you, the American people.
	And then was used after they rigged her investigation, then was used to lie to Pfizer court judges to get warrants to spy on Trump campaign associates.
	This is unbelievable.
	And we're worried about what Paul Manafort may have done or didn't do with his freaking taxes in 2005.
	It's unbelievable.
	No wonder this, no wonder this judge in in this particular case is so outraged the way he is.
	Hang on, I got my daughter calling.
	Hey, sweetheart, how are you?
	What's going on?
	I thought you were going somewhere today.
	You didn't go yet.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Did you go?
	You're in the what?
	Oh, you there already?
	Oh, okay.
	I'll call you back at the break, baby.
	Love you.
	Yes, you have a question.
	I'm doing a radio show.
	Can I call you right after the break?
	What's the question?
	Go ahead.
	Forget that this.
	When are we getting what?
	Oh, you like the picture of the pup in two weeks.
	I'll call you right in a break.
	Love you.
	Goodbye.
	So on a scale of one to 10, Linda, how bad was that radio?
	Pretty awful.
	Yeah, pretty awful.
	What am I supposed to do?
	I gotta be a father.
	I'm not supposed to tell you.
	I told Jason to start playing Daddy's Little Girl.
	Oh, stop it.
	You did not.
	I swear.
	I apologize, but you know, I I apologize.
	I'll just leave it there.
	Um, and when she when I said to her, I go, Well, I'm on the air, she goes, I said, can I call you back?
	No.
	I need you, I need an answer.
	You know what she's talking about, the puppy.
	She's talking about this puppy 24-7.
	You know what just happened to me right now?
	What?
	I got a phone call.
	From a colleague.
	You know what I said?
	What?
	Then I'm on the air.
	Can I call you back?
	Claiming my time.
	It was very complicated.
	All right.
	What am I supposed to do?
	She's your daughter.
	She gets special privileges.
	She's my daughter.
	She gets special privileges in Singapore.
	I like her a lot.
	Yeah, she actually was so good on the air.
	She said two words in a half hour.
	I tell you, man, I'm going to let her guest host the next time you take off.
	You know, who wants the guest host, and we should let him is Rudy Giuliani, I think my guest host.
	I have uh a weekend that I have to go to go to a wedding or something, and whatever it is, and I'll uh that would be great.
	Anyway, back to my focus here.
	Because I think that at the end of the day here, this is pretty outrageous stuff.
	You know, and you know, we have an update after losing patience.
	This happened yesterday in the courtroom in the Manafort case.
	Judge T.S. Ellis III was so frustrated at the conduct of Muller's team that he literally pulled the plug on yesterday's session while Muller's lead prosecutor was still questioning a witness.
	This now has happened three days in a row.
	They're told stop telling the jury that this guy is rich.
	It's not a crime in America to have money.
	Now he might be guilty of bad taste.
	I have no idea what that ostrich coat was all about.
	Did you ever hear of an ostrich coat before, Linda?
	I've never heard of one of those things before.
	And it didn't look like anything I'd ever wear.
	If he's going to get a leather jacket, get a motorcycle jacket.
	I have one of those and I wear one.
	Anyway, third day in a row, and they keep trying to bring up his lavish spending habits because they want to convince the jury that he's he's got money.
	There's no convincing the jury.
	That's not a crime to have money.
	Or use the ominous term oligarch, and he rightly pointed out people like George Soros or the Koch brothers can be considered oligarchs.
	Anyway, the last witness that was called yesterday and then continued this morning is an accountant of Paul Manafort's uh long-serving tax preparation agency.
	And as time inched along during the witnesses' testimony, nothing of particular interest seemed to be occurring, and the accountant was mostly providing foundational testimony regarding the most basic functions of tax preparation for their company, and prosecutors then moved to specifics and tried to attempted to publish one of Manafort's e-file forms.
	And the judge, you know, is so fed up and disgusted and amazed at all of this in the courtroom.
	He denied the request, complete with an actual and pronounced finger wag before shouting, no, you move it along.
	And composing themselves, the prosecution then moves slowly forward before asking the same accountant again about the term financial interest.
	And then the accountant began to answer the question.
	Again, was immediately cut cut off by Judge Ellis III, who noted that the accountant is not a noticed expert.
	By the way, you're supposed to, if you're bringing in experts, they've got to be on the list of witnesses that you bring into trial, and also they've got to be identified as such because that information will be passed on to the jury when jury instructions come up.
	And the defense then belatedly objected, prompting a sarcastic dress down from the judge saying, Where have you been?
	You should have should have done this a long time ago.
	Anyway, static filling the courtroom as the longest bench conference of the day ensued.
	Upon the return, the account and the jury learned that the issue had been deferred until Friday, if ever, and the U.S. attorney, in other words, on team Muller asked about another term of art contained in the federal tax forms, and the judge hit the roof.
	And the judge who was standing at this point literally told this woman to wait and announce the court is in recess.
	He's so pissed off about what's going on here, and I don't blame him because he knows what's going on here.
	He knows that this wide mandate of Rosenstein basically, if your dog pooped on the sidewalk, they'd be able to, you know, bring it under the cover of the special counsel investigation.
	And he knows it and he's sick of it, and he sees it for what it is.
	But because he has has to follow the law, that's the only reason why he did it and allowed it.
	Oh, and then we got the uh this bigoted New York Times editorial writer, apparently also hated cops and wanted to see more men killed.
	Wonder how long it's gonna be to the New York Times fires this person.
	By the way, the president wants to create an Arab NATO against Iran.
	Iran needs that's already happening.
	You got this alliance with Jordan and Egypt and the Saudis and the Israelis and America and the Emirates.
	It's all happening.
	But I think the big news of the day is the president now has literally 29% approval rating with African Americans.
	And I guess that might be a little bit connected to the fact that we now have record low unemployment in the Hispanic community, African American community, Asian American community, and women in the workforce and 14 states.
	Pretty amazing times we're living in.
	All right, 800-941 Sean is a toll free telephone number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	We have an important interview with the chairman of the House Intel Committee.
	That's Devin Nunes.
	That's coming up.
	All right, as we continue, Sean Hannity show.
	When we come back, we have the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes is gonna join us.
	A lot of rumblings, a lot of rumors, a lot of my sources now telling me that next week could be bigger than as it relates to the Pfizer warrant than what we already know as it relates to the applications to spy on an opposition party candidacy in the lead up to the 2016 election.
	So we'll check in with him when we get back.
	Also, we start our Made in America series and we'll look at the polsters.
	John McLaughlin, Doug Show, and all coming up on this Friday edition.
	There is a national security reason to make sure that the American public sees this in its entirety, because this is a phony FISA.
	Okay.
	The Department of Justice and the FBI put something together that is completely fraudulent in order to spy an American citizen.
	All right, hour two, Sean Hannity show, 800 800 941 Sean is on number, shocked by what we see in the Pfizer warrants if they're unredacted, and that these are phony FISA warrants.
	Uh in other words, that this was all based on a fraud.
	Now we knew to a certain extent that was the case with the Nunes memo and the Grassley Graham memos, the bulk of information was the Clinton unverified, uncorroborated uh Russian phony dossier put together by Christopher Steele, even he in an i interrogatory in Great Britain said,
	you know, maybe it's 5050, it's it's raw intelligence, but it did serve for the basis to spy on an American citizen associated with an opposition party candidacy in the 2016 election, and the chairman of the House Intel Committee, Devin Nunes, joins us now.
	How are you?
	Good Sean.
	Who was that guy?
	He sounded uh he sounded pretty good.
	You know, I am hearing that if America sees the redacted 19 pages, corroborated apparently by emails, that it will shock the conscience and soul of the country, and it will prove that this was a great conspiracy to spy on Americans with false information that they knew was false.
	Am I wrong?
	So let me so let me just walk where we're at, right?
	So we said for months that the dossier was used, the Clinton paid for dirt was used to get a a Pfizer warrant on an American citizen and effectively be able to go back and get information on the Trump campaign and the members.
	So we had to fight the mainstream media for that for months and months and months, and finally, luckily, the Pfizer part of it was declassified.
	Now, you've heard Jim Comey, James Comey, former FBI director, say several times when he was on his book tour that that Nunes was wrong or didn't say my name, but he effectively said, no, no, no, the dossier only made up a part of it, and it was actually a mosaic.
	And what we're trying to get to is that, yeah, okay, Comey, there was a mosaic there, even though everybody knows all you have to do is read through that Pfizer, the unclassified Pfizer and the three renewals, you can see that clearly they spattered the dossier all throughout to build the story to the judge that's the girl.
	Andrew McCabe said that without the dossier, there is no Pfizer warrant.
	That that is correct.
	Under under oath, that's what Andy McCabe said.
	And clearly from Mr. Gowdy and Mr. Radcliffe and those guys who have done this type of work in the past and our investigators, you know, they've been shocked at this Pfizer from the beginning when we first laid eyes on to it, uh, because of the just the fact that you would use unverified information in the first place.
	Now, but let's just get past that.
	Let's just say, okay, that if you believe, like some people in the media are trying to say, which is no no no, you actually don't have to verify it.
	You just have to give the court everything that there is.
	Well, wait a minute.
	If you commit a fraud on the court or you present evidence that you don't know to be true, and you're presenting it at as if it is true, as required by the FISA statute itself and by FBI protocol, and you purposely withhold that who paid for the document and only put a little asterisk saying it might have a political taint to it, um, you're not telling the court the truth.
	Aren't you perpetrating a fraud upon the court?
	Well, look, I I believe I believe you are.
	This is why we've called this investigation about Pfizer abuse.
	Uh look, I believe there was a conspiracy uh here to actually obfuscate that dossier and the information they put in the Pfizer so that they they actually they actually clouded it so that they could they so that they could get this through the court.
	But what's left, what's still redacted, is what Comey called the mosaic.
	And that's why this is so important, because the the American public deserves to know well, what was the rest of the information?
	You could because this should tell people a lot, Sean.
	Why right when when the Pfizer was released, it was leaked to the New York Times a couple weeks ago.
	And what was it?
	What was their first messaging, the narrative that they tried to build right out of that?
	This proves that Devin Nunes and the House Republicans were liars.
	Well, that lasted about a whole twelve hours because I said, uh actually, no, just the opposite was true.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because it was it was true.
	And you also had them saying, well, the really juicy stuff, not only was were Nunas and the Republicans lying, the real juicy stuff is in the redacted part.
	Well, then we actually showed a letter.
	Well, wait a second, we actually asked President Trump to declassify this a couple months ago, and here's the pages.
	Ever since that happened, you do not see anybody in the left.
	I'm talking about the the from the Democratic Party to the media, the hard media left, mainstream media left to the Comey people, they are dead silent.
	They don't want those pages released.
	They're they're hoping that this issue goes away, which is why it's so imperative that President Trump declassify at least these 20 pages.
	And I'm hopeful that he will.
	And I have sources and you're not one of them, just to be very clear here.
	But I have sources that have been telling me now for some time that if the 1920 pages are released with corroborating emails with them, that it will actually blow the entire Russian narrative out of the water and it will be done over and finished.
	And I've been assured this by numerous sources.
	Have I been told the truth?
	Well, Sean, what I don't want to do is you never want to build expectations.
	OK, because I believe from the beginning, being that the dossier made up the bulk of that FISA and that the FBI was willing to take that information and feed it to a court, that's bad enough.
	This is, I believe, equally as bad.
	Uh, the actions and activities that were that were being taken.
	Uh, but you know, I I it all depends on who covers it, right?
	What's ultimately going to be enough for anybody who's honest and fair in the mainstream media to take this up?
	Well, that's not we're still even.
	You're answering your own question because uh they have not been fair.
	They're agenda-driven, and I'm making an argument that I think there is no that journalism in America is dead and that they are only an extension of the Democratic Party at this point, and pretty much state-run left wing media.
	But the question is, I I almost shudder to think if if the f if the dossier was the bulk of the evidence and there's something far worse that they used to get the FISA application through and pass judges, it has to be fairly monumental.
	I don't even know if I can render a guess at what it is.
	Well, and look, and and that's why I'm in this horrible this horrible position of not being able to comment on it.
	Uh I will just tell you uh that uh I I think is it worse than the FISA?
	Let me ask you this.
	Is it worse than the dossier itself?
	I would say that it's it it's equal.
	It's equal.
	It's it's about the same.
	I could if I mean if you think it was bad for a political party to dig up.
	Is it is it all four of them?
	Is it all for I mean the only thing that I can think of that might be that bad would be you know that we had foreign intelligence people inside the Trump campaign.
	We already know they had spies in there.
	I mean, well, I mean, how bad is this gonna get?
	Well, look, it's it's it's tough for me to comment.
	And and I am I don't want you to do anything that is gonna put you in a compromising position, and you know, just so people know that you have always been respectful of uh of the idea of of keeping your obviously your your top security clearance secret secrets.
	I'm not asking you ever to break that pledge or vow, I would never want you to.
	Um and obviously, and obviously, Sean, the all the Republicans on the intelligence committee who have been briefed on this for months and months and months, we all say that we want these pages out.
	I mean, so clearly there's a reason why we want that out.
	And uh, you know, we're the ones that are charged with with getting this in for you know of of overseeing this for all of the American people and the Republican and at least on the Republican side.
	And I think that should carry a lot of weight, and it ought to be enough for the president to declassify.
	At the same time, because I know I'm I know I'm limited on time and I don't want to run out of time here, and I don't know if you've gonna cover it on your show today, but Senator Gratsley has very directly called for the what are called the Bruce Orr 302s to be released.
	These also need to be declassified.
	Now, Bruce Orr, just for your audience, I know your audience is pretty well up to speed, and I know you are.
	Bruce Orr was effectively the number two or three under the deputy attorney general, both Sally Yates and wrote Rod Rosenstein.
	His office was just a couple doors down.
	Uh his wife, Nelly Orr, was working for uh Fusion GPS, which was digging up the dirt, or basically I don't even think they were I don't even think they were digging anything.
	I think they were just making it.
	Well, wasn't she part of the team that was putting together the dirty dossier?
	Yeah, so she she was the one working for Fusion, working with Christopher Steele to compile this.
	At the same time, Bruce Orr, one of the top people at the Justice Department was secretly meeting with who Christopher Steele.
	Yeah.
	So Chuck Grassley has asked for about a dozen of these 302s, which are F uh it's a number of an FBI report.
	He wants them declassified.
	I've seen them.
	We have the Bruce Orr notes.
	I have been hearing rumors for a long time that these 302s were altered and and changed after the fact.
	Well, those I think that is referring to the General Flynn 302.
	Uh I don't think that the Bruce Orr 302s were were changed, but remember what we're saying here.
	One of the top guys in the Department of Justice, a guy who's supposed to be in management, Christopher Steele gets fired, right?
	Gets terminated.
	The FBI says he's we're not going to use him anymore.
	But actually they were.
	They actually took one of the top DOJ lawyers, and essentially he ran Steele as a source.
	So Bruce Orr just took the place of steel and was getting information from Steele and still feeding it into the FBI.
	And none of this, none of this ever made it to the court.
	So remember, Christopher Steele said that he was desperate that Trump not win.
	That was in our memo that we released back in January.
	We will stop him.
	Ignored that.
	We will stop him and and Christopher Steele on the other end, that's right.
	He wanted to stop him as well.
	Is there any truth to the fact that John Brennan had shared the dossier information as CIA director with Harry Reid?
	You know, it is we we have no proof of that, but I'll tell you the timeline is very questionable, right?
	Because you uh because you have you can kind of match it up.
	Brennan meets with Brennan meets with Reed.
	We have that documented.
	Reed writes a letter.
	You actually have struck and page discussing on texts and emails about the letter that's coming from Reed.
	So I mean it really looks like that was kind of your classic swampy move of writing a letter.
	I think that will be I believe that will be corroborated and and um I have reason to believe that, and there might be emails that would back that up.
	All right, we got to take a break.
	We'll come back more with the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, who's agreed to stay with us.
	All right, as we continue with the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes.
	Let me let me go back to this fundamental point, though, that something is equally bad is in the 1920 pages.
	I want to go back to that for one second, if I may, and ask you because uh again, I have a lot of people that I talk to every day, and we've been trying to unpeel the layers of the of this onion, and they're telling me we might find out what's in these pages as early as next week.
	Well, I sure hope so, Sean, because uh look, it's it's I I don't want to be repetitive here, but but if if all the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have said that the it this needs to be declassified, that should carry that we're the legislative branch of government, and that should carry weight with the White House.
	Uh you already have the the first part of the FISA that's been publicly released.
	We're not asking for everything, but at a minimum, those those roughly 20 pages are is that for every FISA application or just the last Pfizer application?
	Well, we're we're only asking we're specifically asking for the very last one.
	The one Rod Rosenstein signed.
	That that's correct.
	But you know, we we we're not that's what we want out of as a minimum.
	We're not we don't have a problem if you would declassify the rest, but but that needs to get out.
	That's what we've asked the president.
	Well, I hear it's coming, and if uh and I hear it's a blockbuster, so I'm Um we're waiting.
	I think the people have a right to know the people of this country, um, because what we know already is so underhanded and so corrupt and such an abuse of power that I I think that I think people need to understand how deeply this went.
	Let me ask you about this.
	Um, we're watching the Manafort trial, and it's about a 2005 tax case, and as the judge in the case said, that has nothing to do with collusion or Russia even at all, or jot Donald Trump or the campaign at all, but it's really designed to put the screws to Manafort so he sings or composes and they can use information to prosecutor impeach Trump.
	And my question very specifically is there is uh a tape of a counterpart of yours on the House Intel committee by the name of Adam Schiff.
	Have you heard this tape where he thinks he's talking to a Russian?
	Listen to this.
	Okay, and so Buseva met with Trump uh in in uh New York at some point after the 2013 Miss Universe uh Absolutely, and she got uh compromising materials on trout after their uh short relations.
	Okay.
	And what's the nature of the compromise?
	Well, there were pictures of naked Trump.
	Okay.
	And so Putin was made aware uh of the availability of the compromising material?
	Yes, of course.
	Uh Buzova shared those materials with uh Sobchuk and Sobshark shares those materials with uh Putin because she's uh Goddaughter of Putin and Putin decided to press on Trump.
	Um the materials that you can provide to the committee or to the FBI, uh would they corroborate this allegation?
	Sure, of course.
	Uh when they were in Ukraine, we got their conversation by the phone where they're discussed those uh compromising materials where I ready to provide it to FBI.
	So you you have recordings of both Sovchek and Buseva, uh, where they're discussing the compromising material on uh Mr. Trump.
	Absolutely.
	All right, we're gonna come back.
	We'll get a response.
	That was a fellow House Intel Committee member, uh Schiffless Schiff, uh literally thinking he's talking to a Russian, getting compromising information on Donald Trump, even naked pictures that Vladimir Putin had seen.
	It turned out to be a total hoax.
	Quick break, we'll come back, we'll continue.
	800-941 Sean is on number straight ahead.
	Many of the bureaucracies here in Washington uh know how to wait out Congress.
	They know to try to plan meetings on a Friday when they know there's not votes, or on a Monday when there's not votes.
	They vol you know that's the time that they want to give things.
	They wait, they know that Congress is gonna adjourn next week.
	And so the more that they delay for no reason.
	We're waiting on on many documents as you know.
	We're getting very slow, snail-paced cooperation that is clearly designed to wait until next week when Congress adjourns.
	Now, I have news for them.
	They're still gonna get to come in and give depositions.
	They may think they're not going to, but they're gonna be coming in to give depositions throughout the summer, and that's part of the 42 names that I sent uh to Chairman Gowdy and Chairman Goodlat.
	So I have every expectation that there will be many opportunities for these 42 individuals to come to Congress, even though they have tried to wait us out.
	And I think that'll I think they are they'd love to see Republicans lose.
	And and I say that, I don't want to I hate to say that, but I I have to believe the Department of Justice and FBI, the people are at the leadership.
	They are they are banking on a loss by the Republicans in the fall, which is why people have to understand how important it's gonna be to get out and vote in this election to ensure that the members of Congress are returned that are actively involved to ensure because if the Democrats get control, they're gonna drop all of this investigation.
	Toll free, our number is 800-941-SEAN.
	If you want to be a part of the program, Apparently, along with the phony dossier, there are other materials that absolutely have been well that will so devastate the process in terms of of corroborating the lie to the Pfizer court judges in the applications to get a warrant to spy on a Trump campaign associate in the lead up to the 2016 campaign.
	We're hearing rumors all over the place that this information corroborated by emails could be coming out as early as next week.
	And if it does, I am told it will blow a lot of this Russia-Russia Russia lie narrative out of the water, and it will cause America to take a deep look at whether or not we have equal justice under the law, whether or not the warrant system for Pfizer was abused at a level we've never seen before.
	And uh joining us to talk and discuss about all this is the House Intel Committee Chairman Devin Nunes.
	Mr. Chairman, before the break, I played you a phone conversation of a colleague of yours.
	He's on TV an awful lot, Adam Schiff, and he's not exactly been kind to you in public comments.
	And he is talking to somebody he believes to be a Russian that has compromising materials on Donald Trump, including naked pictures that even Vladimir Putin had seen.
	Uh it turns out that the whole that he was totally uh hoaxed in this call, but the whole call sounds to me an awful lot like the collusion that Robert Muller is supposed to be getting to the bottom to uh bottom of.
	Yeah, bingo.
	So it's a typical double standard, right?
	So they created a whole uh uh a whole investigation made out of whole cloth that somehow Donald Trump was colluding with Russian using a dossier that was actually generated from Russians that the Clinton campaign paid for.
	So they should start there, investigate the Clinton campaign on getting information and compromise from the Russians, and then they ought to turn around.
	If you look at what the Democrats on our committee have done, and probably in the Senate also, they were also reaching out to Russians to get dirt on Trump.
	I mean, it's just nonsense.
	I mean, look, collusion, you know, none of this is a crime, getting dirt on your political opponents.
	I mean, it happens all of the time.
	Uh, but the whole the whole idea that they'd investigate the Trump campaign for supposedly being in bed with Russians when the reality was they were.
	And it kind of fits.
	But they were in two different ways.
	I mean, that phone call, doesn't that just capture for all the discussion and talk and media about uh a meeting that took place uh at Trump Tower about about Russian adoption had nothing to do with any information being transferred about Hillary Clinton, and that's been made such a big deal of, and then we've got Adam Schiff on the committee, you know, thinking that he's getting dirt directly from Russia about Donald Trump, and he's he's he's salivating at the thought of it.
	Uh what is the difference?
	Well, whatever the left accuses you of doing, I have a rule.
	That's what they're doing.
	So the fact that they were accusing the Trump campaign and feeding to the FBI that that Trump was doing something wrong with the Russians.
	The reality was they were.
	They were doing something with the Russians.
	They were attempting to get information from the well, they did get information for the Russians.
	It was it was fake and phony.
	But also you mentioned this, not enough has been paid attention to this Trump Tower meeting.
	And everybody the media continues to gloss over this.
	Let's not forget, you know, did you know did Trump uh or uh uh uh Trump's forget it was Donald Jr.
	Did he agree to have a meeting to try to get information on Hillary Clinton?
	Yeah.
	Well, guess what?
	Not a crime, not a you know, it's not a crime at all.
	It happens all the time.
	Isn't that what Adam Schiff is doing?
	But but and it's what Adam Schiff is doing if you if you you know listen to the the call you displayed.
	But but people are forgetting this major point about this, Sean.
	The person that met in the Trump Tower, this Russian lawyer who was there to lobby on behalf to get rid of the Magnitsky Act, is a client of who?
	Fusion GPS.
	Fusion GPS working for Russians.
	And didn't they and didn't they w meet with this woman both before and after the meeting at Trump Tower?
	Before and after, and I'll tell you, they've denied that that they ever talked of the and it's talking about Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS said oh, they didn't know nothing about it, they didn't know anything about it.
	Well you believe them?
	Does anybody actually believe that?
	I don't.
	I mean, it's impossible.
	I mean, what have their clients, one of their Russian clients is meeting the very same day before and after uh they have a meeting before and after, and we're supposed to believe that there was no just by accident, yeah.
	Well, let me let me ask you.
	Look, this is the problem.
	I I this is this is the whole this is where the investigation should be, and this is why we have such a hard time with this.
	Why there needs to either be a second special counsel or somebody investigating this.
	If we actually had all the tools of the FBI, you would quickly get to the bottom of who was Fusion GPS working for, who was paying Fusion GPS.
	Well, we already know the money was paid for by Hillary.
	It was funneled through the law firm Perkins Couie.
	Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele.
	He used Russian contacts.
	That created the dossier.
	That was spread as gospel truth, and it was all done to misinform the American people and influence an election.
	It was filled with Russian lies, which is ironic considering what's been going on as it relates to the Trump campaign.
	And even Steele himself in an interrogatory in Great Britain said that that it was raw intelligence, maybe 50-50 that it would ever be true.
	But yet they were disseminating it, and we learned in the Washington either the free beacon or the Times in the last week that in fact Christopher Steele was meeting regularly with the top people in the Clinton campaign who had paid for all of this.
	Right.
	Right.
	And that's what's going to continue to this is going to continue to unravel.
	And that's the sad part about it is that this really needs to be investigated.
	I mean, you clearly had one campaign that was colluding with Russia.
	Likely these Russians that they were getting this information from probably were are tied back to oligarchs that have ties back to the FSB.
	I mean, if you want to get to the heart of Russian collusion and how they were I mean, what if this really was the dirt on Trump actually was created and crafted by the FSB.
	You know, the most exculpatory evidence though, when you think about it, comes directly from Comey's mouth when he says, Well, Trump said to me that, well, I wasn't involved with anything Russia, but if anyone around me was, we need to look into that.
	Um I gotta let you go.
	You've been very generous with your time.
	Um, is there a good chance we might hear learn about all this stuff next week?
	My my uh it's beginning to percolate uh from a lot of my sources in DC.
	Well, like I said, there's all the reason in the world to declassify these 20 pages, and there's all the reason in the world also to declassify the Bruce Orr 302s.
	The sooner it's done, the better.
	The more transparency, the better for the American people.
	All right, you've been amazing in all of this, and I know you've taken a lot of heat for it.
	House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes.
	Uh, we appreciate your time.
	Uh, we're starting a new segment on the program today.
	It's our Made in America series, and we have with us uh Jamie Oberwager, who is uh a founder and owner of a great company that is based here in the States, and they make all these healthy snacks, which of which I tried some this week, and uh Jamie is an entrepr entrepreneur, widely successful in a short amount of time, a little over two years.
	And uh Jamie, welcome to the program.
	Thanks for being with us.
	Thank you so much.
	Well, let's talk about.
	I mean, you have a product that is called Lucky Bar, and there's different, you know, you I guess it's a mom-to-go secret weapon that has the protein of of two eggs in it, and it's delicious and it's healthy.
	Explain.
	Thank you so much.
	Um, Lucky Bars um were derived from my youngest child um who really struggled with meal time, period.
	And it it wasn't because um we didn't try to give him other foods, he just had such an aversion to most foods.
	He would put his hands over his mouth and make ganging sounds and wipe his tongue, and he needed protein desperately.
	So um that's you came up with these lucky.
	Well, let me tell you something.
	So Linda's been eating them all week.
	Linda's in love with her your lucky bar.
	I don't know if I like the way you said that.
	You made me sound like a little piggy there.
	No, no, no.
	You've been eating them all week.
	As a good mother, I try everything before my son eats it.
	So it was my due diligence.
	Well, but the truth is, I mean, it's great that it's made in America.
	Uh Jamie, I love that.
	And kids do need the nutrition, and you know, they don't need my son when he was young only ate pasta with butter.
	That's it.
	Uh-huh.
	That's right.
	We call those empty belly fillers.
	Yeah.
	Um, and kids love the empty belly fillers, the plain pasta, the chips, and you know, by the way, I love pasta with butter, but go ahead.
	But as as parents, you know, we we want to give them the taste and the textures that they're familiar with, but we want to eliminate that quote unquote bad stuff um that we would prefer to keep off their plate.
	And so that's part of what makes Lucky Bar so important.
	How many in two years you built this product?
	And Lucky Bars have more protein than two large eggs in every and every kid-sized bar.
	It's high in protein, low in sugar, and it tastes great, although I would I would know more if I had some because Linda stole them all.
	Wait, can I just say one thing?
	I know that you hate when I interrupt you, Sean, but I have to say that.
	And you stole all of them.
	Go on.
	I so we so I gave one of my son who is a super picky eater.
	He just turned three, and he loved them.
	First of all, he's in love with the packaging.
	It's easy for him to open.
	And then we had a sales guy on the floor today who brought his three-year-old to work, and he sat in my office and he ate a whole bar while watching cartoons in my office this morning.
	And I just thought, man, these things are really great.
	Can I just say something?
	Listen, if Linda's son Liam likes it, that's probably the best side of the thing.
	It's a victory lap for sure.
	But imagine, imagine Linda at three.
	That's what Liam is.
	Very nice, Sean.
	Very nice.
	Even he even has the accent already.
	Shh.
	No, he doesn't, not yet.
	First of all.
	No, but I mean, so two years.
	How many, how many have you gone from selling in a two-year period of time?
	It went from what to what?
	Well, it went from from zero to now we're actually sold in over 2,000 retail locations all across America, um, as well as online.
	And our goal is to continue to be number one in mom's mind when she's looking for fun, delicious, nutritious food for her family.
	All right, we got to take a break.
	We'll come back more with our Made in America series.
	Jamie Oberweger is with us.
	We'll get more on the other side, 800-941 Sean, our toll-free telephone number.
	As we continue with Jamie Oberwaker as part of our Made in America series.
	How many people do you employ now?
	Uh well, we have um a team, actually, um uh at the bakery as well as a small business team.
	Um, but we are very much um in support of um creating jobs all across America to enable um the distribution and the continuation of uh putting lucky bar into the hand and belly um of kids everywhere.
	So, in other words, like instead of grabbing chips and candy bars and all the crap that we usually eat, um you basically have designed a nutritious protein full filled low sugar product that kids love to eat in different flavors, and it's just taken the market by storm.
	And uh it's probably hard to add because you have drivers that transport it, you have factories that make it, you have people that package it, you have business people as well.
	So I'm sure it's hard to calculate, but you've created a lot of jobs in the process, and now 2,000 locations around the country, you and you also sell it online, right?
	I mean, did you ever think it would get this big?
	Uh well, you know what?
	I always had faith that with hard work, um, despite the risk of of going out on my own, um, that I was being led down the right path to do that and and help my child and and children of other families all across America.
	Um so I I had faith that this would happen.
	Um, you know, the truth of the matter is is that kids have their own tastes and preferences and nutritional needs, and we like to celebrate the way they're different from adults, not just in their palate, but even the way they eat.
	Gotta run here, but but I I actually did try one of them, and it was amazing, and I think it's such a great idea.
	And a lot of, you know, 30% of kids are like picky eaters, and I was one of them as a kid.
	My son was, my daughter was not.
	And but now he eats healthier than everybody I know.
	So uh it's Lucky Bar.com is the website, and it's you know, in two thousand locations around the country.
	It's such a great success story, and it's made in America.
	It's called Lucky Bar, the nutritional alternative for your kids.
	And uh good job.
	We're really proud of you.
	And thanks for joining us, Jamie.
	Thank you so much for having me.
	Thank you, Jamie.
	Lucky Bar.com.
	Why did you steal every one of them?
	You stole them all.
	I'm hungry.
	You don't give us lunch break.
	I buy your lunch every single freaking time.
	But I have no time.
	Well, you buy gross stuff anyway.
	It's orange or puke green or whatever you eat, it's disgusting.
	Now I eat lucky bars, so you're well.
	Well, at least it's a normal food for once.
	Everybody looks at your food and says, that's so disgusting.
	What are you eating?
	No, you look at my food and say it's so disgusting.
	Everyone else just says have a nice lunch.
	No, everybody agrees with me, but they're intimidated by you, and I'm not.
	There's a big difference.
	Yeah, right.
	That's a vicious rumor.
	Republicans just passed the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country.
	And the Democrats wanna lift them way up.
	Remember that.
	When you go to vote, they want to end your tax cuts and they want to lift it up so they can waste your money on a lot of nonsense.
	You've heard this, but I'm gonna say it over and over because I'm really proud of it.
	Remember I said, what do you have to lose?
	What do you have to lose?
	African American, so many others.
	I said, what do you have to lose?
	You have high crime rates.
	You have horrible education.
	You have this.
	I went through a list of 10.
	That's what happened.
	African American, Hispanic, Asian.
	You have the lowest level of unemployment in the history of our country.
	What how does somebody fight that, right?
	How does somebody fight?
	All right, that was the president last night in Pennsylvania, another of his rallies, in this case Joe Barletta, who is running for the U.S. Senate in that state, which is a seat that could be won 95 days now from the most important midterms in our lifetime.
	And joining us now polster John McLaughlin, he is with and the founder of McLaughlin and Associates, Doug Schoen polster author, political analyst Fox News, thank you both for being with us.
	Let's start with you, John McLaughlin.
	It seems that well the president is surging.
	The economic news has been great for the country.
	The president the president keeping his promises on foreign policy, North Korea, the the bodies of the fallen back from the Korean war this week.
	No missiles fired over Japan.
	Seems like negotiations are ongoing in a successful way or hostages are home.
	The Iranian deal were out of that and also Jerusalem is now the capital of uh Israel and the question is when you look at these polls some people still are predicting a blue wave but it's pretty much 50-50 in terms of which way this uh midterm election is going to go what do you think?
	Well I I I think you're right because the president not surging as much as grinding up there's a perpetual improvement from last year because you just listed a whole bunch of substantive accomplishments that Donald Trump has done.
	I mean the the most Americans 5140 they tell us this month uh that the economy's doing better and they expect it to stay better.
	Uh they they they look at they feel more secure they give them high marks on the economy even the CBS polls show that so it's bringing the Republicans up last month we had them tied on the generic ballot with the Democrats 44 44.
	This month, the end of July, we'd polled after the immigration issue, and we'd lost four points.
	But that's still in range to hold the House.
	Would it be a net plus or a net negative for the president to take a stand on his key promise that he made in 2016, which is to build a border wall and hold out for the money before the election?
	It's a net plus.
	And the Democrats, the trick is, the last time the Schumer shutdown hurt them, because they basically said, give us amnesty,
	or we're not going to pay the military so that was a big mistake that backfired on the Democrats and since then the Democrat numbers the blue wave has disappeared because you know they they're they're against uh they're for abolishing ice they're for open borders they don't so the whole the whole uh so what is the strategy though does the president hold out on any spending until the wall is funded or what?
	Well I think the president first has to go to the go to the Senate uh the the House isn't as much as a problem as the Senate the House will vote on things and then it dies in the Senate McConnell doesn't bring things up unless you have to McConnell wants to do it after the election.
	Right no they need to they need to do it now they need to as you advise the president as he mentioned in one of his rallies they need to do it now and they need to have a sharp contrast with the Democrats and see I I think you lose all leverage number one and I think it's a 7525 issue to secure the borders all right let's get Doug let's get Doug Schoen's take on it.
	Doug, first about the blue wave is there any such blue wave and number two what about the president taking a stand to fund border security?
	Well I don't think there is at this point a blue wave I think that there is the possibility and I underscore possibility of the Democrats winning the House but I think it's going to be touch and go.
	I think it's about a 50-50 proposition typically the outparty does best in a midterm and with 43 Republican seats open or an incumbent not running that works to the Democrats' advantage.
	And I would say very simply Sean when you have the economy roaring as it is if you make the election about the wall you're hurting yourself.
	I would if I was advising the president, which as you know, I'm not, but if I was, I would say talk the economy, do not talk about the wall, do not threaten to shut down the government in a month before the election over the wall.
	Uh it might help you with your base.
	It's not gonna help you win the midterms.
	So you guys are differing on that.
	Why wouldn't it help?
	Uh I've always believed that if Republicans take a stand and and they stand on their principles and they fight for what they said they would do, that that that they would benefit politically.
	Um I've got to believe that the Democrats that want to eliminate ice and want open borders, there's a clear compare-contrast election in that, and I don't think the American people are with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and others.
	The best Democrats for those who are saying no.
	Because last month in June, we had the Republicans tied on the generic ballot among likely voters at 44.
	Well, on uh July 25th, after the immigration fight, where they didn't get anything done, they fell four points.
	And the difference is the midterm election, when you're looking at likely voters, uh there's sixty-three million people who voted for President Trump in November 2016.
	Out of the total 139 million who showed up, which is a record in 2016.
	In in the typical midterm, you only get 80, 90 million voters show up.
	How many of those 63 million Trump voters didn't vote in 2014?
	Will they come back out?
	If you don't make good on your efforts to uh you know, secure America, secure our borders, build the wall, reform chain, get rid of the chain uh uh migration, uh the diversity lottery, these other things that let terrorists into the country.
	If you don't do those things, those people may stay home and we lose Senate seats instead of picking them up, and we could lose the House.
	You have to get them motivated, come back out.
	The whole election in November is about bringing Trump voters back out.
	If the and he's not on the ballot.
	The Republicans need to push his agenda because if they don't push his agenda, they'll sit home and they won't come out in November.
	That makes per it makes perfect sense to me.
	And Doug, the you know, look, this is the agenda of the Democrats right now.
	They're not saying it.
	They've asked all their members to stop saying it, but they want to impeach the president.
	Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren have said they want to rescind the tax cuts because they want their crumbs back.
	They want open borders, eliminate ice, keep Obama care, and they want these investigations to end.
	Uh I don't see that as a particularly inspiring vision for the people of this country.
	Um it isn't, and that's why the public message is one word, change.
	And that's what's going on.
	That's uh why the Democrats are, at least in the polls I'm seeing, have a slight lead in the generic vote.
	And we'll get a good sense tomorrow.
	Uh John, in the midterm in I'm sorry, the special election in Ohio, which is a tie if the Democrats win that with a moderate to conservative candidate in O'Connor, that's a huge, huge step in the right direction.
	John.
	Well, I've I've said I've been preaching for over a year now that these special elections have been lost when they've been since you know, like Pennsylvania 18.
	It's because of missing Trump voters.
	The Democrats put up somebody like Connor Lamb who says he's pro-life, says he's pro-gun, but he'll vote with the Democrats with Pelosi.
	But guess what?
	And the president goes out there and and he campaigns and he robocalls and they get the message that that Trump's endorsed the Republican, but they barely lost because a hundred and two thousand Trump voters in that district stayed home while only sixty thousand Clinton voters stayed home.
	So now what you have to do is you have to push this, whether it's immigration, taxes, even term limits.
	Let's talk about term limits.
	The president ran on it.
	Let's let's get the biggest.
	How much is this midterm about President Trump, though, and the desire of the Democrats to remove him?
	By the way, it's backfiring on him because these impeachment calls are making Republicans come out and vote so that uh so that that's why you're seeing Republican numbers come back.
	Doug's probably seen the same thing.
	Yeah, I was gonna say uh if I could talk to Tom Steyr, I would have two words for him.
	Shut up.
	Um I'm quite serious.
	Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna really listen to you, Doug.
	You've been right up there at the top of the Democratic Party's love list now for years as you've been telling them they're going in the wrong direction.
	So and as long as I'm on your love list, um I'm I'm in good company, especially with John you and John.
	So happy to do it.
	And uh I may be a lonely man in the wilderness.
	Is this is uh well, let me ask you as a Democrat, is the country better off now that Trump's been president?
	I would tell you this.
	Um, and I've said it on five.
	By the way, he hates answering this question because we all know the answer is obvious economically and foreign policy.
	The country in a lot of ways is better off.
	But what bothers me is that he's polarized and divided where he did not need to.
	And to me, leadership is about bringing people together.
	The economic news is undeniably good, but I disagree with his Russia policy.
	I didn't like what he did in Helsinki.
	I it's a clear area of difference for me, and a lot of uh hawkish, stupid.
	And what's been tougher on Russia, Obama or Trump?
	It's not even close, Trump.
	It's not a comp it's not a comp competition, Sean.
	They're both.
	Well, wait a minute.
	Crimea and Ukraine didn't happen under Trump.
	I mean, the red line in Syria didn't happen under Trump.
	There weren't sanctions.
	Now we have the biggest sanctions we've ever put on Russia, and the president is even pushing to advance energy trade with Western Europe, which would bankrupt Russia.
	Sean, you have never heard me defend Obama.
	I'm not gonna do it.
	Now his policies on foreign policy and on energy were bad.
	There is more Trump could do.
	I wish he sounded more like John Bolton.
	I wish he sounded more like Mike Pompeo, I wish he sounded more like Dan Coe.
	But it's never, but the person that won is not that.
	He's not the establishment figure.
	I think one of the reasons his polls have gone up besides keeping his promises, John McLaughlin, is I think people now are used to the rhythm of Trump, and that is that he's not gonna all of a sudden turn into a a conventional establishment political figure, and he's gonna be himself,
	and that means he's gonna call out people he disagrees with, and he's gonna forcefully fight for his agenda, and he's gonna speak his mind about what he believes is a corrupt witch hunt, which I agree with that with Robert Mueller, and I think all of that endears him to not only the base, but the country now is getting used to it, and they're like, all right, that's just the president fighting back, which he does all the time, and he fights for us.
	We're in an age of reality TV, and he had the highest rated reality TV show on.
	And people kind of expect this, but you know, one point that Doug talked about is change.
	You know, we asked in the on July 25th, we asked, do you want to continue the policies of Barack Obama or do you want to change and move in a different direction?
	And 48 to 43, all voters said they wanted to change, and the undecided said they want to change 44 to 25.
	The undecided for Congress.
	So the problem is the Republican establishment that's holding up the swamp needs to let the president start making more change.
	And and that's the big difference for November.
	Sure, and and John is right, if I can quickly make a make a quick point here.
	Um, it's not Trump they're voting against now, though some are certainly on the far left.
	They're voting against a corrupt Republican establishment who over and over again has failed to get anything done.
	Yeah, but you know what?
	In spite of them, the president, he's gotten things done.
	And he's got the tax cuts passed, and we see the benefits to the economy.
	He's gotten rid of burdensome regulation.
	He has taken his bold steps on foreign policy, and now we're we're literally set up on a T for energy independence, and he's pushing hard on border security.
	Just goes down the list, and and that is for a lot of people refreshing because, yeah, I think both parties are weak and feckless and spineless and and lacking vision.
	I will take a break.
	We'll come back more with John McLaughlin, Doug Schoen on the other side.
	And as we continue, Sean Hannity show 800-941 Sean, our number.
	We're 95 days away from the most important midterm elections in our life.
	Uh, what would be the best plan of action for the president and for members of Congress in terms of do they embrace the president?
	Do they embrace his agenda?
	Do they want him to go campaign for him?
	Because really, this is going to come down to about 50 house races.
	I'm not at all really worried about the Senate.
	I think Republicans will probably have a number of pickups.
	Uh John McLaughlin.
	They need to stand on his record of accomplishment.
	And the best thing to win November would be if the president were to call up Mitch McConnell and call up Paul Ryan and say, here's a series of issues I want you to vote on before November.
	Uh vote on workfair.
	Vote on my plan for uh paid parental leave, Vote on uh our plan to make the tax cuts permanent.
	Vote on our plan to to you know fix health care and and give them a series of issues that they have to support the president and say, I want you to vote on this in September and October.
	And that would create a clear contrast with the Democrats.
	Emphasize the president's accomplishments, whether it's the economy or national security.
	And and of course immigration should be on that list.
	And give them a list of six, seven things and say, I want votes on these.
	The backbenchers in the Senate and the House on the Republican side will be ecstatic.
	The Democrats would be afraid because they'd there'd be a spotlight put on them.
	All right, Doug, we'll give you the uh last word.
	A simple recommendation to the Republicans.
	Do for individuals what the president and the Senate and House did for corporations.
	Propose a middle class tax cut.
	That singling could bring the Republicans a level of success that even the intelligent approach, John McLaughlin just outlined, and you've outlined Sean.
	You go for a tax cut for individuals, then you got something that the election can be a referendum on that you can really uh defy the odds.
	Other than that, I think the Democrats win the House, and I think you're right, Sean.
	The Republicans will hold the Senate.
	I think the Republicans have a very good chance of holding the House, but they've got to get out there and fight the next 95 days and be strategic, like uh John McLaughlin is suggesting.
	Thank you both for being with us.
	When we come back Friday, Florida Georgia Line and Zach Brown concert series will explain and your calls straight ahead.
	All right, let's get to our busy phones as we say hi to Ellen is in Arkansas.
	Ellen, happy Friday.
	Glad you're with us, and thanks for checking in.
	Well, thanks for that Zach Brown Florida Georgia Line series, Sean.
	That was fun to listen to.
	It is fun to listen to, right?
	It puts you in a good mood for the weekend.
	It did.
	My son my husband had that chicken fried song on his phone as my rain tone for a while.
	Wow.
	Um, hey, your example of honoring others is so vital to our country right now, Sean.
	I uh really appreciate how you um deflect praise and it just comes from a heart of humility.
	Um you're just really choosing to be known for who you really are, nothing more and nothing less, and I believe that it builds unity within our country, which is so desperately lacking at the present.
	So thank you for your voice.
	Well, you're very nice, and you provided us over the years, the facts you've reported, they've been indispensable.
	You fight for a democratic republic.
	Thanks.
	Next week is going to be a blockbuster week.
	That's all I can really say at this point.
	You know, I I say this and these are these about but this isn't these are not words.
	Everybody is in the service industry in one way or the other.
	Um, the fact that whatever I'm doing in the public eye doesn't make it any different from what pe people do and don't get, you know, consideration or praise or acknowledgement for.
	But if you really look at it that we're all spokes in a wheel, we live in the greatest country God gave man, and the idea is that we want to preserve, protect, and defend the greatest country God gave man for future generations, then we're really kind of all on the same team.
	Unfortunately, there are people that think they know better than us, that they're smarter than us, they were smarter than us in 2016, and they've took it upon themselves to do things that they should never have do have never have done.
	And all of this, I think is gonna come to a head next week.
	Um I'm pretty confident it's gonna be a pretty revealing week next week if you if you stay tuned.
	I will stay tuned.
	Yeah, I believe I agree with that those who are seeking for globalization want to divide us.
	It's like they want to make the divided states of America, but because they know that we're gonna fall if we're divided.
	But what's the rest of that saying is united we stand.
	And yeah, there are um that that campaign, a hashtag resist.
	I think we need to defend that or or um come against that with that our uh hashtag serve campaign.
	Uh feel like you, Donald Trump and many others are serving to preserve unify and and the sad reality is is there are people that want to destroy this president, never wanted him to win, did illegal things to prevent him from winning, and he won anyway.
	And as a result, we see the benefits now of 18 months of a Trump presidency, and they never give him credit, but I don't even think he wants the credit, to be honest.
	I just think he's happy that things have turned around.
	I was watching him closely last night in Pennsylvania in his rally, and I think he's just happy that things are turning around.
	All right, Ellen, thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	Bessie is in Illinois.
	Bessie, hi, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hi, I wanted to talk about Gregory Craig and his possible indictment.
	Well, uh, I saw his name was sent up by Mueller and company to the uh Southern District of New York, which I don't think any American would ever want.
	No, I think he's trying to detour to come on like he's apolitical because he's dealt with him before.
	He interviewed Mueller's FBI interviewed Obama in the criminal case of the selling of ascendancy.
	Gregory Craig represented him.
	He gave him an internal investigation report that Craig wrote before the interview, which was contradicted by prosecution witness testimony two years later.
	And even after this, now this all happened ten and eight years ago.
	We still haven't seen Obama's FBI 302.
	Not even the defense attorneys have seen them.
	Listen, at some point here, and I don't know when I think the president is going to take the advice of many people, many experts, and just allow the public to see a lot of the information that I think blows all of this narrative, everything about Mueller, everything about Russia, everything about FISA out of the water.
	But uh we pretty much know the story, but the smoking guns have yet to come out, and I think one of them is coming out next week.
	And what that has to do.
	If you've got Obama's FBI 302s, and you compared it to Gregory Craig's internal investigation report and the testimony of Tom Baylinoth, none of it matched up.
	How do you know so much about this?
	I'm interested.
	Uh there was when Brad Logoyevich was on trial.
	Yeah.
	It was a big to-do in Illinois.
	The Sun Times and the Chicago Tribune put out live blogs where you could interact.
	And I went to the court.
	Wow.
	Listen, I I I saw Blogoyevich's name being raised in the press about a possible pardon by the president.
	Um it'll be interesting to see.
	I listen, I interviewed Anna Marie Johnson this week, and what a lovely woman.
	And it took my breath away, and it was such an honor to get to meet her and her family and her attorney, and we do need criminal justice reform.
	I will say that.
	A grandmother first offense, never before, been in trouble, one drug offense should not be a life sentence for somebody.
	Although I think we've got to be very tough, especially on these drug dealers that are pushing these opioids onto our kids and creating addiction that is lifelong and leading to death.
	But anyway, I appreciate it, Bessie.
	Thank you.
	George in Florida wants to defend Jimmy Acosta.
	What's up, George in Florida?
	How are you?
	Hey, Sean, nice thanks to the McCall.
	Yeah, I I just want you to um I'm gonna send him and he he is a a victim of this his circumstances.
	Because would you have to be a big thing?
	What do you mean if why is he a victim?
	Why is he not responsible for his own disgraceful behavior?
	Okay, let me explain.
	Would you be upset with a cat backed into a corner by a toddler that has had then that strikes out and scratches a child on the hand?
	Okay, so who's the cat in this particular case?
	Um, because you've backed him into uh Trump and you have backed him into the corner.
	You've been saying for years that these journalists are part of the Democratic uh arm of the Democratic Party.
	Right.
	And and their policies have maybe caused uh maybe a short-term relief, but in the long term, their policies have have caused debilitating dependency on people.
	Irreparable harm for families.
	So here comes a president who now jobs reports are just out and and all this the economy is going, and these uh journalists who have been in this system for the last thirty or forty years are are realizing that they failed in their job in the fourth arm of our government.
	You're you're you're you're assuming something here that I don't think is true.
	I don't think they are acknowledging anything.
	I don't think they recognize at all their abusive bias.
	They don't they don't recognize that the cause of the case.
	I think they I think they think they're the super patriots, sort of like Peter Strzok.
	I think they think they're better than all of us.
	Well, this is it's something what I call the uh the they're caught in the matrix of the Ted Coppel effect, and you've been caught in this too.
	A couple a couple months ago, you went on the co Ted Coppel show uh interview, correct?
	Remember the Ted Coppel?
	Yeah, when he when he I I gave him, you know, an hour's worth of interview, he used sixty seconds that benefited him.
	Correct.
	And how did you feel when you came back?
	You I remember you talking about how how I I I exp The problem is that I expected.
	I expected a little more from him because I'd known him over the years, but it didn't surprise me, nor did it bother me.
	And it gave me an opportunity to tell people what edited fake news is like.
	But you have a platform.
	You have you have right.
	But what happened to the other people, other people who don't have platforms.
	They get the crap kicked out of them and they have nothing, they have no recourse to defend themselves in most cases.
	And that's what that's why Fox News and the conservative movement have and what Donald Trump is the answer for justice and we've been what we've been looking for.
	Listen, you know, we celebrated this week Russia's 30th anniversary in syndication.
	And as I said on radio and TV, I can't imagine what the country would be like without 30 years of rush as almost like an oasis for the people that are looking for truth for a different take on the news, for conservative thought, principles, and ideas.
	So uh but I hear what you're saying.
	Look, I I don't think they are in touch with themselves at all.
	I think they think they're superior to us, and that we're a bunch of smelly Walmart people that cling to our God gun Bibles religion, and that we're irredeemably deplorable.
	I think that's uh they've revealed it.
	All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
	Looks like a big TikTok.
	I'd say 95% now next week, as it relates to more information in the Pfizer warrants that are just devastating for those that abuse power, those involved in corruption, those that are involved in lying to Pfizer court judges, those that are at the heart of the abuse of power, deep state corruption that is been exposed.
	I told you we're only at about 15%.
	I mean, this might take us to 20.
	All right, so we'll have all of that coming up next week, and when we get back on Monday, by the way, it will be 92 days till election day, the most important midterm in our life.
	All right, have a great weekend.
	We'll see you Monday.
