All right, the most important midterm election in your lifetime, 91 days away.
Are you ready?
You know, I it's honestly all in your hands.
I know we've got a special election.
It's going on in Ohio today.
If you're in and around the Columbus area, uh, I can tell you right now that, you know, this uh this is a historically Republican seat, but you'd never know on a special election day, and this is one of them.
And the only way you win these races is you see the importance, you take the time, and you get out and vote.
And that would be in Ohio for Troy Balderson, and his opponent is a typical, you know, left-wing Democrat, you know, everything that the people of Ohio don't like.
It's not any more complicated than that.
And there's going to be about 50 to 60 races that in the course of the next 90 days we will be informing you about.
But if you happen to be in that district today and you're registered to vote, I would I hope you'll go out and vote.
Because this is gonna be, we know what they want.
We know we don't know what their agenda is in terms of making life better for the American, you know, forgotten men and women that make this country great every day.
They get up, work hard, shovel coffee down their throats, they get their kids ready for school, they pack their lunches or take a few bucks out of their pocket for lunch, get their kids off to the bus stop, order this, you drive them to school, they put in their 10, 12, 14 hours a day, they go home, they help with homework, they cook dinner, you know, maybe hamburger helper tonight, maybe pasta, maybe chicken, maybe pork chops, I don't know, whatever people like to eat.
And then that's it.
And then you go off and and you spend your days and you pay your taxes, you work hard, you play by the rules, you obey the laws, and now all of a sudden we've had the best economy in 10 years.
I love what Reagan said when he was running for re-election.
Stay the course.
We know what we were left with after eight years of Obama.
We know that millions of jobs have been created.
We know the jobs that were never coming back.
Manufacturing jobs are back, and they're back in a in a huge way, which is great for working men and women.
They were told they're never coming back.
Ever.
You know, it's it is to me at the end of the day, one of the more frustrating things when I see, you know, that the Democrats have no plan whatsoever.
You know, we'll give you, you know, we know we have 14 states with record low unemployment, record low unemployment, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and our military.
There is a Bloomberg article today, and I thought this was huge news.
I'm sure you're never gonna hear about it from the fake news media because they're just busy every second, every minute, every hour, every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, you know, obsessing on hating the president.
But this for the Democrats, this is their do-over.
They want to do over here.
They think that we made a mistake, they think that this was a fluke, they think that, oh, we can't let the thing that scares them the most is all the success the president is having.
Because that is a direct threat to what they love and desire the most in life.
Power.
They love being called congressman and senator, governor.
They just seem to love it.
They eat it up.
They're not going to serve.
I mean, that is a service job.
You're supposed to serve the people in your district or the people in your state, and you're supposed to keep the promises you made.
I'll give you an experiment.
You want to try and experiment about what it means to people about promises.
Let's say you tell your kids, oh, if you get straight A's, I'm gonna take you to Disney.
All right.
And they start in September and or August, depending where you live, and they're all gung-ho, and they end up the year with straight A's.
And it I'm sure you talked about it throughout the year, and you get to the end of the year, straight A's on the report card.
And then uh your son, your daughter, your kids, you say to you, all right, we're going to Disney, when are we going?
And you say, well, you know, um, well, we'll push it off to next year.
Good luck with that.
It's not going to work out well for you.
And it's going to disappoint the people.
Think about that.
The level of disappointment.
How many times have we been disappointed with all of these politicians?
Say what you will about Donald Trump.
He keeps his promises.
He keeps them.
And you know what?
I like people that keep their promises.
And it make, and you know what?
It's working for the country.
Now, I gave you those other economic statistics, and the Trump administration has another all-time economic record today, and this one could explain why the latest Rasmussen survey from Friday or Thursday, no, Friday last week showed that African American support for the president, which was at 8%, is now at 29%.
In other words, it was at 8% on election day, 2016.
Well, why is that changed?
Well, okay, we'll take out the margin of 24%.
That's three times what he had.
Why?
Because people are getting the manufacturing jobs are coming back.
We have millions of people, and I would argue during the Obama years, and the facts bear this out when you break things down demographically, the people that were disproportionately hurt the most in this country were minorities.
And we had what?
It's not a joke when I said 13 million more Americans on food stamps and 8 million more in poverty.
Try to explain every day during the 2016 election, real people, real lives, real suffering, needless suffering.
You know, there's a chance we could have more prosperity in this country than we ever dreamed of.
I mean it.
I mean, when you look at now what we've discovered with all the energy resources we have, we have more potential for every American, every one of us, to achieve beyond the American dream.
A really nice house, really nice neighborhood, really nice car truck or whatever the heck you like to drive.
I don't know.
I'm not into cars that much.
And you know what?
Send your kids to good schools.
Take the vacation yearly, maybe twice a year.
Go out to dinner, not have to worry about it.
You know, well, I can't afford to go out to dinner, you know, this month.
Because I got to pay the electric bill.
Anyway, Bloomberg News, you know, if you hear the media tell it, Donald Trump isn't, you know, one that might expect, you know, oh, he would never do this.
You have, you know, the media is already doing what I told you they would do.
Republicans are racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, they want dirty air water, they want children to die, and they want to throw Granny over the cliff.
Same thing every two, four years.
Under the president's watch, just explain what's been happening in the labor market in the three months through July, the employment to population ratio.
I'm looking at this is Bloomberg.
One particular demographic jumped off the page to me.
Black Americans, African Americans, have averaged 58.3%.
That is just, again, demographically, they're the ones that broke down the Democratic.
That is just 2.3% points lower than white Americans.
Let me explain it another way.
That is the smallest employment gap ever since 1972.
Now, you have to ask if if minorities were disproportionately negatively impacted by Obama's socialist policies, you know, I love the guy Marcus Molitas from uh, you know, Daily Coast who's the founder.
You better not be afraid to say you're a socialist.
Okay.
We see the the Democratic Party's going hard left.
Republicans are weak and spineless and Kind of lacking courage and backbone and vision, but you know, kind of Trump is forcing them, even beyond their own understanding to do the right thing.
But anyway, why is this happening?
And why have I always been a concern?
Conservatism works.
I was explaining this to somebody, Never Trumper guy, and I get along with him, but all these Never Trumper people, what they really don't like is the president's personality.
They don't like he's a fighter.
They don't like that he takes on the media.
They don't like that he tweets.
They don't like that he's not, he's never going to be the establishment stiff president in years gone by.
But you know who does like him?
He's real.
You know, likes him.
I like him.
You know who else likes him?
Police love him.
Military loves him.
Firemen love him.
You know, nurses, doctors, the working men and women in this country love him.
Because he's he's fighting to get those jobs that Obama said would never come back.
And he's keeping his promises.
He's like the parent that says you get straight A's, I'll take you to Disney.
And he's keeping his promises on Iran.
He's keeping his promises on Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.
He's keeping his promises, you know, literally fighting day in and day to cut taxes to end burdensome regulation.
And I was saying to this friend of mine, tell me what part, except for trade, I put trade aside, and I would argue trade the president never once, never wanted, never would be engaged in, probably a trade war, but you have to at least threaten it if you want to negotiate a better trade deal.
And I just know him so well from going back years before he ever ran for president.
It would be, Mr. Trump, I'd like to interview you.
Uh, okay, how long?
Uh I really need 30 minutes.
All right, I'll give you 10.
20 uh 25, and I can do it.
I'll give you 15.
So we'll agree on 18, and I'll keep him till 22 so I get a half hour in.
If I'm looking for the half hour.
He negotiates everything.
He negotiates the lighting for Cryon Alley.
I mean, he he understands every detail.
And that's what he's doing on trade.
That's why you look at these numbers, and I so resent this massive lie about conservatives.
Look at he's been conservative on judges.
He doesn't want to legislate from the bench.
He believes in co-equal branches of government.
He believes in in separation of powers.
The left, what they can never get done at the ballot box legislate, they want to legislate from the bench.
He's like Reagan, a conservative.
Cut taxes.
Reagan, a conservative, and regulation.
Reagan, a conservative.
You know, Reagan said, if you don't have borders, you don't have a country.
He wants a border wall with a door.
He believes in peace through strength.
Little rocket man, fire and fury.
My button's bigger than yours and works.
Evil empire.
Tear down this wall.
You know, Jerusalem, the capital, he's not afraid to take a stand.
And that's why the American people love him.
What is the left offering you beyond what I tell you?
Their hatred of Trump, Rush made a really good point about that.
We played on TV last night.
Hatred of Trump.
They want to impeach him, but they won't even say it now because they know it's it's literally not going to go over well.
They want to keep open borders, eliminate ice, keep Obamacare, and those tax cuts that they were screaming were just crumbs.
Interesting how desperate they want their crumbs back.
If it's only crumbs, why do they want it back?
This is what this is about.
There's a lot in play in Ohio today.
And in the rest of the country in November in 91 days.
All right, 800-941-SEAN, toll-free telephone number.
We've got breaking news about Bruce Ohr and Christopher Steele and Page and Strzok.
And it now has gone literally to a much higher level than we ever knew.
And connected to Christopher Steele was so in it after they found that he was a liar, leaker, and fired him.
And Bruce Orr's meetings with Steele are unbelievable.
We'll give you the details.
All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean, toll free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
I gotta tell you, if you're um this whole Manafort trial to me is fascinating and it's interesting, and it's also a sad saga in a lot of ways because Judge Ellis was right from the get-go.
This this state of the government doesn't care about his 2005 tax case.
It already been investigated, putting mothballs, and they only were dragging this out to put the screws to him.
So he'll sing or compose, and then he'll use the information Mueller to prosecute or to impeach Donald Trump.
This judge, Ellis, he looked at Rod Rosenstein's mandate, and it was so wide open that a case that had nothing to do with Russia, nothing.
Russia won't even be mentioned in this case that had a tax case, had nothing to do with the campaign, nothing to do with Donald Trump, nothing to do with the election.
And this guy has after the judge reads the mandate from Rod Rosenstein, because Jeff Session recuses himself.
Now we're now that's the trial of the century.
And they're now literally at this point, they are trying to do everything they can do to save this case.
This judge is not putting up with any of their crap.
And this is Muller's team.
Now, I don't know.
I think ultimately it's going to be decided on bank accounts and money and whatever else they they drudge up from 2005.
Everybody should pay their taxes.
I pay more than my fair share.
I get it.
But I gotta tell you, for this guy to say, this isn't about being rich isn't a crime.
Move on.
And then he goes, an oligarch.
Oh, you're saying a big bad word to make him to demonize him.
I'm not having it.
It got so fascinating.
The judge lashing out at Mueller's lead prosecutor and bringing Mueller's prosecutors to tears.
I'll explain when we get back.
800 941 Sean, toll-free telephone number.
Glad you're with us.
It's the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
Back to the Manafort trial, day six now.
Well, President Trump's name got mentioned, and um apparently uh one-time campaign chairman in a trial, Alexandria, tax fraud.
Prosecutors are alleging he failed to pay taxes.
Okay, this is going back to 2005 to 2007 from some Ukrainian political party, and then lied to get loans when uh he needed more money.
That's what the that's what the case is.
Some of the only direct references, they had to get the president's name in somehow in his campaign.
Say, oh, he worked for Trump.
That was the whole purpose, hoping that some of the jurors hate Trump like the news media does.
Anyway, it just occurred where Rick Gates testified that Mana Manafort resigned as the campaign chairman in August, but he remained, continued to work for the campaign.
And uh Robert Muller's guy, lead prosecutor Greg Andres, showed Gates emails from Manafort, which showed that Gates' former boss requested that Gates use his position in the Trump campaign to offer a series of favors to Stephen Calk, founder, CEO of a bank, one of the banks that extended Manafort alone in 2016.
That's that is unreal.
The idea that if you do business with somebody and you say, maybe you become friends with the guy.
Now I can get you tickets.
By the way, you know how many tickets until the inauguration?
Millions.
You know how hard they are to get?
Not at all.
You know, I got tickets for people that I took care of myself, and I paid full disclosure.
You know.
But the reality is I actually had people come watch the TV show.
I was doing the TV show from uh one of the balls, whatever you call those things.
And said, Well, you want to come?
Come with me, come hang out with me.
My friends.
Oh, okay.
I'm a bad person.
And I just brought them in with my crew, like I always do.
Oh man.
Anyway, 2016.
Why?
Because they're my friends and I wanted them to watch my TV show.
I think we had 10 people in the studio last night on TV.
We have people have four people here in the radio studios.
We invite people all the time.
You know, I feel like I'm a performer.
You know, here it is.
I'm like the this is like the circus, because they're watching looking at me.
Gates claimed that Manafort asked whether his former business partner would do him a favor, write a letter claiming that the Gates was responsible for purchasing.
I don't know what that's all about.
But this is what's going on.
2005 to 2007 tax case.
Let me give you some of the details.
I think my favorite part of the story, though, is again no collusion, nothing about Russia, nothing to do with his time in the Trump campaign, nothing to do with the election, nothing to do with Russian influence of the election at all.
It's about 2005.
Now, the judge that is overseeing this trial, Judge Ellis III, and I really think that he saw this for what it was.
He looked for the mandate.
Unfortunately for him, the Rosenstein mandate was very, very broad.
And sadly, being very, very broad, uh, that means that he had no choice, but because they brought charges and he's a judge that follows the law, he's doing it.
But he's also letting the prosecutors know they have zero.
He has zero patience for their BS, and he sees through what this is.
I don't know where this is going to end up, but that's not even the point.
Putting the screws to somebody so that they'll sing or compose so you can get to the president.
Then we have some breaking news that's just unfolding, and I don't want to get ahead of my skis here.
And uh Jim Jordan and John Solomon will join us at the top of the hour.
They're putting this investigation.
I've got enough to know that Bruce Orr is up to his eyeballs in his relationship with Christopher Steele.
And I know that it's far deeper than we ever expected.
But we'll get to that.
We'll have the full story, certainly by 9 o'clock tonight.
So anyway, the judge, uh, Ellis III, T SLS III, overseeing the trial, tore in again to Mueller's prosecution team, like five days in a row now, questioning the merits of the entire case and complaining that a disrespectful gesture by the lead prosecutor was quote, BS.
After jurors were dismissed Monday, too bad they didn't see this in the Manafort trial.
The judge and prosecutors trying the case got into an extended verbal debate lasting about 10 minutes over the merits of the prosecution, the length of the case, and even the eye contact of the prosecutor, Greg Andres, who is in this particular case, that's Mueller's, you know, hitman.
It's really if you don't want to know who's in charge of all this is Weissman.
You know, Weissman, the guys that withheld exculpatory evidence, you know, that guy.
Yeah, hired by Mueller.
He's the guy that lost in the Supreme Court 9-0.
He's the guy that caught tens cost tens of thousands of our fellow citizens their job with Anderson accounting.
He's the guy that put four Merrill executives in jail for a year, and that got overturned by the Fifth Circuit.
Anyway, so they get into this for a good 10 minutes.
The judge specifically pushing Andres on why the prosecution was moving slowly with Rick Gates.
And what matters are the allegations that he made money from them and didn't report it, Ellis said.
You deal, you don't need to throw mud at these people.
Now remember, same judge saying you can't stop using the term oligarch.
And then he went on to say even further: well, in this society, we can look at Soros and the Koch brothers as oligarchs.
Rich, billionaires, blah, blah, blah.
And stop talking about what he owns.
That's not the heart of the case.
You're trying to create the rich versus poor narrative.
It's always the look, this this the Democrats have perfected this identity politics of men versus women, rich versus poor, old versus young, you know, along racial lines, every election each season we see it.
Anyway, I don't know if they're good or bad.
And I don't care, Ellis argued, reiterating his previous claim that the prosecution seemed to be focusing not on the actual charges, but on what he considered to be political contributions.
They want this jury to know he's rich.
He's a Republican and he worked for Trump.
Guilty.
That's what they're trying to do here.
If the case was strong enough, they wouldn't need to do any of this, but that's what they're doing.
And they're really, these are not political contributions.
They are self-serving payments with respect to what oligarchs do.
That makes it even clearer to me that it doesn't have anything to do with the allegations, the judge said.
It throws dirt on these people.
They may deserve it.
I don't know, and I don't care.
Most heated moment, however, took place when Ellis got perturbed by Andres Muller's guy not looking up at him when he's speaking.
Look at me.
Don't look down, the judge demanded.
Then when Andres responded that he was looking at a relevant document, then it even got testier.
You look down as if to say that's BS.
I'm up here, the judge said.
You know, this goes to the heart of, I want to hear from the Pfizer judges.
Judges, I've said this before, you better say your honor.
You know, you want to be stupid, piss off a judge.
They've got all the power.
And you know what?
These judges rightfully demand respect in their courtrooms.
Yes, sir, no, sir.
Yes, your honor, no, your honor.
Yes, ma'am, no, ma'am.
And if you don't answer that way, good luck to you.
Because they can make it, you know, really hard.
Anyway, there's then it gets even better.
This is great.
You know, I understand how frustrated you are, the judge said.
In fact, there's tears in your eyes right now.
Ouch!
And when the prosecutor protested that he didn't have tears in his eyes, the judge shot back, well, they're really watery.
It's great.
Muller's guy was tearing up, apparently.
You know, all of this is entertaining in a way, but it's really not, is it?
Look at what our country's going through.
A witch hunt.
Look at the dual standard of justice, two-tier justice system.
Hillary's got her system.
Deep state got their system.
Where is the prosecution of Hillary?
I, you know, I I I cannot give Hannity, why she lost.
Why are you talking?
Because if we don't have equal justice, if we don't have equal application of our laws, we don't have a constitution.
That's why it matters.
That's why all of this matters.
And if you're gonna criminalize political differences, you're gonna overlook the, you know, the fact foreign intel services hacked into her server, that it's illegal to put top secret classified information on.
It's illegal.
Read Greg Jarrett's book.
He named six specific people that did far less than Hillary charged and put in jail.
Six pictures of a submarine, Christopher Christian Saucier.
You know, that's one example.
And if we don't have equal justice under the law, we don't, we're gonna lose the country.
If you can criminalize political differences and stomp on the Constitution and shred it and go after people, and then after you rig the investigation with an exoneration written before an investigation or even interviewing the main people, which Comey instructed, and you got people at the FBI say, you know, we'll stop him.
We've got an insurance policy.
He's loathsome, blah, blah, blah, and everything else they're involved in, and then they turn their sights after they give her a pant.
You think you'll get away in a court of law?
You think you will get away with the leading subpoenaed emails and bleach bidding your hard drive and erasing everything so nobody can forensically find it, and you think you'll get away with busting up your phones and devices and pulling out your SIM cards that are under subpoena?
You'd think you'd get away with that?
There's nobody would.
She did.
Where's her indictment?
She had it fixed, rigged.
Then they then of course the dirty dossier.
You got Adam Schiff on tape.
Giddy.
We got him on.
Oh, he's talking to a Russian.
You got dirty pictures of Donald Trump?
Did Putin see them?
Can I get them, please?
Isn't that collusion?
Based on what we've been hearing for the last year and a half?
Isn't that some type of coordination?
Collaboration.
A conspiracy.
Whatever you want to call it.
It's uh, and then of course lying to judges, which is where I started.
Really?
How do those Pfizer court judges know they were purposefully misled with phony information, debunked information, that guys like Yates and Muller, uh Gates and Comey and you know, deputy uh, you know, whoever else signed, Rod Rosenstein signed, they all signed off on it.
Anyway, more happened today.
He's been cracking the whip, meaning the judge in this particular case, and in a series of clashes, Ellis snapped at you know, Andres and you know, and Andrew some sometimes lash back at the judge.
Let's get to the heart of the matter.
Don't speak when I'm speaking.
If the jurors defer to the judge, they may view the prosecution as being out of line and overly aggressive.
This was in the politico.
It's a very risky strategy.
And you know what?
I don't know what's gonna happen, but it's you know, 95% of these cases in federal court end up in guilty pleas.
It's stacked against the defendant.
You know.
It just is.
But that's where we are.
That's where our country is.
I don't know why the president doesn't override Rosenstein and did classify the 20 pages.
What's very interesting, we're gonna play this in the next hour.
Devin Nunes was on with me last night.
The FBI failed to include exculpatory evidence in the Carter Page visas.
And we've got the proof.
Well, that sounds typical.
Sounds like Andrew Weisman.
Robert Muller's, you know, team of Democratic donors.
By the way, if any of you think I like the fact that there's a few FBI bad apples, or as Joe DeGenova says, bad cops or corrupt cops.
I don't.
I don't like it at all.
And I know the rank and file don't like it either.
And that's not them.
And they'd never do it.
And they know what has been done here is corrupt because they tell me, all of them, almost universally, they're disgusted with what's happened.
But it's not them.
It was taken right out of their hands in the field offices and put right up at the top.
Orr is going to be a big part of this story.
Bruce Orr is bigger than we thought.
We're going to explain that at the top of the next hour.
800-941 Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
We've got a lot more ground to cover.
Uh, we also have uh John Solomon and Jim Jordan.
They're going to break this story wide open when we get back about Bruce Orr.
We got a big election going on today in uh Ohio we're watching.
David Schoen, Greg Jarrett also coming up, and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, talk about horrible rhetoric.
Well, we'll remind people of what all the things, the horrible things the Democrats have done and said.
See what they did to poor Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk?
That was an assault.
They were on TV with me last night.
One other thing, uh, a friend of mine as a lawyer was just uh writing me.
Um we got a lot coming up at the next hour.
Jim Jordan and John Tolliman breaking a story.
But, you know, there are many sort of chapters as it relates to cross-examination.
Um, you know, just of Gates.
You know, there were there's some like 20 meetings, I believe, with prosecutors, and literally there's got to be so many changing of stories as it relates to Gates.
We already know he's a liar.
We know the star witness is a liar, an embezzler, a criminal, a tax cheat by his own admission.
How come he gets to testify and gets a get out of jail free card?
And the other guy is at risk of going to jail.
That sound like justice.
That sounds like the right way to run a justice system.
Well, you killed 19 people, Sammy the Bull, but we're gonna you get to go free, Testify against him and we'll buy you a house and set you up in Arizona.
Uh-huh.
Uh I'll say whatever you want.
I'm already a murderer.
How great is he?
How great is it?
How great is he?
Hey, come here, Jim.
Come here.
Come.
The president's a little taller than me.
Um.
thank you Think about this.
In 18 months, regulations reduced, taxes lowered, Gorsich on the court, the economy growing at a record rate, unemployment at his lowest in 20 years.
Kavanaugh's on deck on the court.
We're out of that crazy Iran deal.
The embassy is gone to Jerusalem, and the hostages have been returned from North Korea.
That's what's happened under the president's leadership.
Thank you very much.
What a great defender he's been.
What courage.
I'll tell you what, there's a brave, tough cookie, along with some of his friends.
All right, that was the president as he was campaigning.
Big uh race going on today in Ohio outside of Columbus.
And this is the Troy uh Balderson race for Congress.
The president was out there campaigning.
Uh that was on Saturday night.
Uh he introduced Jim Jordan, and obviously the Congress went absolutely the crowd went absolutely insane.
And Congressman Jim Jordan joins us now along with our friend John Solomon, who has a huge breaking news story.
Mr. Speaker, oh, I'm sorry, you're running for Speaker.
We sure are.
It was a great event, Sean.
Uh, I mean, the president knocked it out of the park.
There were thousands of people turned away.
It was a the air conditioning wasn't working, and yet people stayed there for hours to hear uh to hear the president talk, and and it was uh and I think uh look, it's tight in this race.
It is really tight, but I think if if if Troy went win, it's gonna be because the president put him over the top and came in.
But it's tight, and I think he's gonna win, but it's a tight race.
And uh, and uh the president, like I said, was just tremendous Saturday night.
The people loved it.
You know, it's really important.
Look, I think that this race, the Democrats have nothing to offer except, oh, they want to impeach Trump, but they just have stopped saying it.
So it's basically a big lie to the American people, a manipulative lie.
Number one.
Number two, they want their crumbs back.
Amazing.
They call it crumbs, the tax cuts, you know, a couple of thousand dollars for a family, and they call it crumbs, but they want him back.
They want to keep Obamacare, which has worked out so well for millions and millions of Americans.
Uh, and then on top of all of that, oh, they want open borders eliminating ice, and they want all the investigations into how corrupt uh some of the highest levels of the FBI and the DOJ have been in terms of an effort coordinated to destroy Donald Trump.
Yep, no, exactly right.
They want to raise your taxes, they want to abolish ice and not secure the border.
They want to socialize medicine, they want to impeach the president, and if they get power, you think it's been tough for us to get documents from the FBI and the DOJ right now?
Then we won't get squat from them if they're in power.
So that's what's at stake in this election versus again what the president has accomplished in 18 months.
I mean, it is truly phenomenal.
I see the markets up today, the economy growing at a record rate, unemployment at its lowest, with uh the embassy injured, all those things we rattled off at that at uh on Saturday night.
That is an amazing year and a half, but that's what's at stake.
And part of that's gonna happen uh in this election today.
So let's hopefully uh hop hope that that Troy Baldwerson can win this thing.
All right, let me go to John Solomon of the Hill.
He has a lot of breaking news.
Uh the extent of coordination between Bruce, Nelly, Orr, and even connections to special counsel Robert Muller.
And what's worse is this goes far deeper than we ever knew.
Page and struck as well.
Uh, John, tell us what you've been able to find out when you got emails and information to corroborate all this.
Yes, thank God for the Justice Department emails and text messages because it seems like the entire Russia case was carried out by text message and email.
That's an amazing thing.
So the Congress, uh Congressman Jordan and his committee and many others are beginning to get a series of documents are gonna continue to flow for several days to Congress and to some of the other oversight bodies, but they show unequivocally that Bruce Orb, a deputy to Obama Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, the woman who signed the first slice of warrant on the Trump campaign, had extensive contact with the two Democratic opposition researchers who were being paid by Hillary Clinton by the Democratic Party to defeat Donald Trump with the Russia allegations.
That is uh Glenn Simpson at First and GPS and his British uh intelligence operative, Christopher Steele.
These contacts started early in 2016 in the critical days just before the FBI opened up its probe on Trump Russia, the the contacts increased.
Uh And then after Steele's fired by the FBI, because he's a snitch that went bad, he's violated the rules, he's fired by the FBI, or becomes a critical conduit of information who continues to feed the FBI information from Steele, even though he's been terminated as uh as an unreliable confidential source.
So what you see uh this these emails, more than even the stroke uh in page email show for sure that the um uh the Hillary Clinton campaign, the DNC and their actors, their agents were really working hand in foot with the Justice Department, the FBI, the intelligence community to further what has been uh uh still an unproven narrative, the unproven narrative of collusion.
There's some great uh quotes in here, and you can see the question.
I want you to I want you to explain it though.
I mean, you can read them and explain them to people because I I want everybody to understand what we're really talking about here is not only was there, you know, the the dossier bought and paid for, Russian lies, now debunked, it was disseminated to manipulate and misinform the American people to basically steal an election.
That's that's bad enough.
Politicians lie.
But then it's used as the as the bulk of information according to the newness and the Brassley Graham memos to obtain a Pfizer warrant on an opposition party candidate in an election year, so that they can spy on that campaign.
And then Nelly Orr is working for Fusion GPS that got the Perkins Couie funneled money from the DNC and Hillary Clinton to pay a foreign national Christopher Steele, who himself in an interrogatory said, Oh, this is raw intelligence.
We haven't verified it.
But you're telling me it goes way beyond that that Christopher Steele and Bruce Orr and others have contacted each other how many times, and they want to give this what they know is false information to Robert Mueller.
The um I I I can't yet confirm the Muller Engel.
That's something we're looking at, but I can confirm that Orr was feeding information to the FBI on behalf of Steele after Steele was fired.
Either in the early days of the Trump presidency when they were uh when uh Steele was worried that the whole co uh investigation was going to collapse, and so Orr becomes his conduit uh to feed the FBI information.
Meanwhile, he has a conflict of interest.
His wife, financially a beneficiary of the fusion GPS project, she's got this ethical entanglement with or, but the FBI is using them.
They're still getting information from Steele who they fired for violating source rules.
And you're looking over the course of 2016 and 2017, it looks, I'm still counting these up uh because I'm in the reporting process.
Looks like four dozen contacts in 2016 and 2017 between Steele, Simpson, and Orr.
I mean, this is extensive.
They're Steele Simpson of Fusion GPS, Bruce Orr, whose wife was partly responsible for putting the phony Russian dossier together for Fusion GPS, right?
Well, how do you interpret this?
How should the American American people interpret that?
I think this is the clearest evidence to date, even more than the stroke in paid emails that the FBI's counterintelligence division and the Justice Department's National Security Division were used, were duped into becoming political opposition researchers for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.
They allowed Christopher Steele, Bruce Orr, uh, and Glenn Simpson to manipulate the intelligence processes to put a lot of unverified information into the uh intelligence community and then link it to the uh news media in an effort to smear Trump to try to feed him in the election, and then when they couldn't defeat him in the election to smear him in the opening days of his presidency.
I'm gonna read you one quote from a text message.
It's an extraordinary text message.
It's January 31st, 2017, 11 days after President Trump took office.
It's the day that Trump fired Sally Yates.
That's Brucey, or his boss.
She was fired for insubordination.
She refused an order, he fired her.
Uh Christopher Steele writes from London, B, meaning Bruce, doubtless a sad and crazy day for you regarding Sally Yates.
Just want to check with you that you are okay, still in the SITU.
That's a uh uh uh uh um uh uh uh short uh synonym for an intelligence community, and able to help locally as discussed, along with your bureau colleagues.
Keep in mind, at this point, Steele's been fired three months before.
He's not supposed to have any contact with the FBI.
Here is Steele in or consorting on how they're gonna continue to get Trump information to the FBI to the intelligence community, even after he's been terminated for cause.
It's an extraordinary admission in the documents, and we now know because of Senator Grassey's work because of Congressman Jordan that the FBI had seven interviews where they treated Orr like he was an asset, a source.
And they treat uh or they interview him about what Steele's telling them, even though they've already fired Steele, they're not supposed to be using any of Steele's information.
It really shows how this this whole process was corrupted.
Let me bring Jim Jordan.
Jim, I mean, honestly, you've been fighting for this this information, these materials, everything in between.
And, you know, it's a slow, slow bleed.
It's like, and it gets worse every time.
And this now puts it on another level.
Explain your thoughts and your interpretation.
John's been great.
You've been great on this, digging, digging and working hard.
But three things.
Remember, it was just three weeks ago that Peter Struck admitted in the hearing we had that the FBI, in fact, was getting the dossier from Bruce Orr, who we know was now getting it from Chris Steele and getting it from his wife Nellie, who worked for Fusion.
Second, this the when you read these emails, it's not it's not it's it's Glenn, it's it's Bruce, it's Nellie, it's it's uh uh Chris.
It's like these were all best buddies.
It's all first name.
So to John's point, the number of times they've they were in touch with each other, they were like friends.
They were all working together on this this project of putting this dossier together that that was you know disproven.
And finally, the big big takeaway for me, the big takeaway for me is we gotta get Bruce Orr and Nellie Orr in for a deposition as soon as possible.
Bruce Orr is now the the the key to this in my judgment.
I think John is exactly right.
He's the guy that we need to sit down and talk with.
We need to figure out what he said to the to uh it what what took place in these meetings with with Christopher Steele, because a lot of these emails.
But Chris, but wait a minute.
But we gotta add some other components to this.
Because remember, in when President Trump was coming in office.
Now we're we're post stating this that that Orr and Steele are still involved.
Remember, it's unverified and salacious according to Comey's telling Trump in January of 2017 before he takes the oath of office.
But yet it was Comey who signed off on the first Pfizer Warren in October 2016.
And yet, meanwhile, we we now know that not only was was uh Christopher Steele being paid by the DNC and Hillary, but now also by the FBI, and then was fired by the FBI, but the F by FBI still used it, even though he was a liar and a leaker, they still used it as the basis to get the FISA warrant against Donald Trump's associate in that particular case.
But now they how much did the FBI pay this guy?
Yeah, they continue to use the guy's information, Chris Steele's information after they had fired him.
They just routed it through Bruce and Nellie Orr.
That is a key takeaway here.
I mean, he gets they go to the court, they don't tell the court who paid for the dossier, namely the Clayton campaign.
They don't tell the court that the guy who wrote the darn thing had been terminated, but they kept using, and then when they did tell the court he'd been terminated, they kept using his information.
It was just being routed through Bruce Orr and Nellie Orr.
That is a big, big problem and is not supposed to work that way in this country, but it did.
All right, we're gonna take a break.
We'll come back more with Jim Jordan, more with uh John Solomon coming up on the other side.
As we continue with uh Greg Jarr, I'm sorry, as we continue with Congressman Jim Jordan and the Hills John Solomon.
All right, what else are we gonna learn about this Jim Jordan and what do you see on the horizon?
Well, let me just let me just read one of these uh emails to you, Sean, uh to talk about the kind of relationships the ship they had.
And this is from July 30th, so I didn't think it's significant because it's the day before the Russian investigation in President Trump is launched.
So on July 30th, Christopher Steele writes to Bruce Orr and he says, Great to see you and Nelly this morning, Bruce.
They met in Washington, D.C. Great to see you and Nelly this morning, Bruce.
Let's keep in touch on the substantive issues.
Glenn is happy to speak with you on this if it would help.
So this is what I mean.
Glenn, Nelly, Chris, Bruce, they're all best friends.
They're meeting in Washington, D.C. They had their meeting the day before the Russian investigation starts, and Christopher Steele says, and oh, by the way, Glenn's happy to talk to you guys as well.
I mean, Glenn said he's being paid by the Clinton campaign, is talking to Bruce Orr, feeding information to him that they're then gonna use to get this secret warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
Unbelievable.
How corrupt when are these people ever go to jail is the question.
John, what else are we gonna learn on your article uh before Hannity tonight?
Yeah, I really think that uh the Congressman uh Congressman Jordan, Congressman Meadows, Senator Graf who fought for a long time.
There's a document that came out Friday that a lot of people haven't uh embraced the significance of.
One, the FBI fired Steele on November 1st for leaking to the media and violating his confidential source rules.
They wrote this sentence.
The agent has advised the source, meaning FDL he was not to operate to obtain any intelligence whatsoever on behalf of the FBI.
November 1st, the FBI said we will no longer rely on Christopher Steele.
Two days, three days later, Bruce Orr begins to feed the information back to the FBI through a conduit.
The FBI knew exactly what it was doing.
And there's this great text message where feels afraid that Orr's about to be fired by Trump, just like Sally Yates.
And he writes and says, uh, just want to check you okay, still in the situation, able to help locally as discussed along with your bureau colleagues.
He wants to make sure that if Orr gets fired, he can still backdoor his corrupt intelligence, his false uh unproven allegations to the FBI.
It's extraordinary that the FBI allowed this to go on.
It violates their own rules.
It violates their rules, visa abuse galore, the corruption and incestuous relationships are just beyond the pale.
And uh where this ends, I it's not gonna end well for a lot of people, I don't think.
I've never seen such an abuse of power, corruption, an attempt to rig an investigation uh an election in American history like this.
It's just beyond the pale.
All right, we'll see you both uh not well, we'll see Mark Meadows and uh John Solomon on Hannity tonight.
It'll be our lead story, I'm sure.
Nine Eastern on the Fox News channel.
Thank you both for being with us.
800 941 Sean.
We got a lot of your calls coming up, and Greg Jarrett, David Schoen, and much more straight ahead.
I'm trying to answer your question.
I I politely waited, and I even called on you despite the fact that you interrupted me while calling on your colleague.
I said it's ironic, which is why I interrupted.
I'm trying.
If you finish, if you would not mind letting me have a follow-up, that would be fine.
But it's ironic, Jim, uh, that not only you and the media attack the president for his rhetoric, uh, when they frequently lower the level of conversation in this country.
Repeatedly, repeatedly, the media resorts to personal attacks without any content other than to incite anger.
Uh, the media has attacked me personally on a number of occasions, including your own network, said I should be harassed as a life sentence, that I should be choked.
ICE officials are not welcomed in their place of worship, and personal information is shared on the internet.
When I was hosted by the Correspondence Association, of which almost all of you are members of, you brought a comedian up to attack my appearance and call me a traitor to my own gender.
In fact, as I know, um, I'm as far as I know, I'm the first press secretary in the history of the United States that's required Secret Service protection.
The media continues to ratchet up the verbal assault against the president and everyone in this administration, and certainly we have a role to play, but the media has a role to play for the discourse in this country as well.
Three huge guys came up and started probably an inch from my face, screaming at me every word in the book, cursing as loud as they could.
Oh, and security secretary, Kirsten Nilton is in a Mexican restaurant of all places.
Fall shame on you, are you celebrating bad?
Why don't you think my husband separating bad?
That's not.
I'm not trying to use that.
I'm not trying to be all right.
That of course is uh Jim Acosta with uh Sarah Sanders and the president was very clear.
He said fake news after Ivanka Trump's comments, but then you hear Pam Bondy and Sarah Sanders and Secretary Nielsen, and uh then last yesterday they were just eating in a restaurant.
You you have Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens, and not only that, it became physical and they're throwing eggs and water and everything else in between that.
Then how do you know if it's acid or water?
How do you know what these people have?
You don't know.
That is an assault by any definition.
And and you know, listening the f and I was the first to say I'll I'll stand up for anybody in the press if anyone lays a hand on them, but it's very different by pointing out that you've been lying to the American people about so many different issues, and you literally got caught red-handed this weekend.
this is a blockbuster.
No, it wasn't a blockbuster.
It was something the president had said on a couple of occasions as it related to the you know meeting at Trump Tower.
Then of course we do have real collusion on tape, and that would be with Shifless Schiff.
Adam Schiff, probably the biggest liar in the country.
And there he is on a phone with somebody he believes to be a Russian uh offering dirt on Donald Trump, and he he was eating it all up, thinking he's gonna get naked pictures of Trump, and that Putin saw them, and that he's compromised, turned out to be a radio host and uh, you know, guy playing a bit on poor Adam Schiff, and it goes on from there.
And then uh, of course, we have the whole collusion, and that is the funneled money of Hillary and the DNC uh through Perkins Cooey, a law firm through Fusion GPS, you know, straight on to a foreign national who uses phony Russian sources,
and he under oath in Great Britain even admits it's raw intelligence, 50-50 maybe, turns out to be debunked, and that becomes not only d uh information that's disseminated as gospel truth before the election, so that they can manipulate, misinform and propagandize you, the American people, then we find out it's even worse than that.
And they were using it to spy on the Trump campaign and getting Pfizer warrants, using that phony, fraudulent bought and paid for Hillary Russian lie document, you know, to get uh warrants to spy on the American people.
Not once, but four times.
And then we're learning, you know, from you know, the reporting of uh John Solomon and and Jim Jordan at and we'll know more by nine o'clock tonight.
Now Bruce Orr's up to his you know eyeballs in all of this with his wife Nelly and even going in into 2017, you know, saying that he wants to he they hates Trump and wants to take him out like Struck and Page.
It's unbelievable.
Anyway, you want to know somebody that's been a victim of real violence.
I said at the time, I'll say it again.
Apparently, this guy that shot up Steve Scalise and others on that ball field, you know, a little over a year ago, and Steve Scalise still struggling physically, has had multiple, multiple surgeries.
Well, he was a Bernie Sanders supporter, but I'm not holding Bernie Sanders responsible for the fact that some nut that supports him was involved in an act of violence.
Anyway, the House uh majority whips Steve Scalise is with us.
First of all, how are you doing physically?
I had a chance to see you recently, and you know, it looks you you're doing well, but you're still struggling.
Yeah, thanks, Sean.
It's great to be back with you.
And I still do a few days a week of physical therapy.
Uh, you know, I've learned how to walk again and trying to get full balance and all that again, but uh still don't have use of my left foot, and so uh, you know, I have a brace on my foot and walk with crutches, but trying to get to where I don't have to use crutches anymore, just not yet there.
So still uh still working at it, but look, I mean, God's been good to me and and uh I gotta be honest.
I think it was the first it was the first play of the game, one year after the the last game, there you had been practicing for the game the previous year is hit right to you.
You know, literally you you you make the best play I think I've ever seen in baseball, you know, from a non-professional.
And uh you got that guy out.
That had to be a great feeling for you.
It was unbelievable.
I mean, a Hollywood moment, uh something you really can't even draw because it doesn't seem real, but uh literally the very first pitch of the game, the ball, uh Raul Ruez, Democrat from California.
Uh he hits the ball right to second base, and he's a right-hander.
So I'm I'm thinking, you know, there's nothing coming my way.
And it comes right at me a little bit to the right.
I have to go down on one knee and backhand the ball.
Luckily, I got the ball, and then I'm on my on my knee, and I'm saying, okay, now I better make this throw.
And I was able to make the throw them out.
And what a what a moment uh everybody came over and gave me a hug.
Even Raul Ruez came over uh to his credit, and uh we were hugging and kind of just everybody who's releasing all the emotions from the last year and everything that was involved in the shooting.
So number one, we're glad you're healthy.
Um we're glad you're recovering.
How many surgeries did you ultimately have?
Uh total of nine.
Uh nine surgeries, and they put me all back together, and thank goodness they uh, you know, the doctors were great and they knew what they were doing.
They had a lot to work to do, but they they did a great job.
Um, I knew at the time it was far more touch and go than the public had known.
I don't know if you want to reveal that, but uh how many transfusions the day you got shot did you have within that 24 hour period?
Uh I went through 20 units of blood and uh they say the human body holds about nine.
So I uh you know, I had a lot of internal damage from the bullet breaking into over a hundred pieces and it ripped a lot of arteries and organs and so it uh it did some real damage and the doctors had uh you know had a probably about a twelve hour period where they weren't sure if I was gonna make it or not, but uh thank God they're thank God you did.
I I think one of the most courageous moments I've ever seen in law enforcement and I've been trained I I'm more of a pistol shooter.
I've uh not uh a big rifle guy in as much as I've been I was trained in my mom was a a prison guard.
She had a gun on her bedside every day, loaded.
I mean a very different time growing up then, but at a very young age they made a decision.
My parents and uh my because my mom worked in a prison, my dad was a uh family corps probation guy, that they wanted me especially uh 'cause I was the biggest uh worried to them and in the most trouble.
I had sisters, so they they weren't as big a worry, but I think it was like ten or eleven years old, they made sure that I became pr pretty proficient in the safety and use of a firearm.
And they brought me to a range and I sat there and I learned about gun safety and after the first lesson uh he the guy said, Now if you come back next week and you remember everything I said, I'll let you shoot it.
It was a worst moment of my life because I thought, all right, now I'm ready to shoot my gun for the first time.
But a pistol going up against a rifle like you were shot with, it's um probably i i you just can't win.
And we watched these brave Capitol Hill police officers that were there with you because you're in leadership, literally walk in the middle of a bald f ball field.
They were open targets.
They they they were never gonna win that battle.
And they did it anyway.
I mean, that is almost certain death.
What they set them and they did it anyway.
I saw that and I said, These are the most amazing people.
Yeah, you want to see real heroes.
Uh David Bailey and Crystal Greiner and that kind of police detail.
Uh they they literally they were being shot at by the shooter.
Both of them actually got hit in the shootout and still kept going at him with their handguns, and he's got a semi automatic rifle uh with a handgun as well and unlimited ammunition, 762 caliber, which is you could take a bear down with that is what the shooter had, and uh, you know, and they've got handguns and yet they kept going at him and ultimately brought him down with the help of Virginia police.
And I I've I've always praised law enforcement before this shooting shown, and I have tremendous respect for the men and women who who protect uh n us not only abroad our men and women in uniform, but our law enforcement at home.
And uh and I was I was saved by the heroism of uh David Bailey and Crystal Greiner and and the other police officers there, as well as just look divine intervention from God and real uh real heroism from some of my colleagues like Brad Wenstrup and others who uh who came to make sure that uh that they could make sure I got to the hospital in one piece so that the doctors could put me back together.
What do you think of all of this rhetoric and all of these incidents and all of this discussion about you know getting in people's faces and confronting, you know, Pam Bondy and Secretary Nielsen, Port Sarah Sanders and and even the children of the president and uh and then the press is upset that they're called out, I think for horrendous, you know, irresponsible and reckless reporting on their part that has mostly been proven wrong.
Yeah, Sean, th there's no place for it.
There's absolutely no place for it.
It's unacceptable.
The Reddick where you have including uh some elected officials encouraging people to go and harass uh members of the administration, uh the president's family, uh it it's inexcusable.
Members of Congress, they're you know, obviously what happened to me, but but it continues.
And uh, you know, everybody's got a role to play in rising into a new higher level of discourse.
We've got to stop the personal attacks.
Uh the press needs to be aware of their role as well.
They, you know, it's almost like just because a lot of them don't like Donald Trump, uh they're a lot of them or like ninety-eight percent of them.
Oh, and it's it's a shame because look, uh the press has an important role to play, uh but just because they don't like the president doesn't mean they can just uh encourage uh this kind of behavior uh because it's this president.
They wouldn't do it if it was Barack Obama.
They wouldn't even do it if it was George Bush.
So they shouldn't do it because it's Donald Trump.
Uh everybody needs to rise to a higher level and recognize that some of this rhetoric is fueling people uh to do things that are illegal and harmful and uh and trying to try to harass and hurt other people.
Uh That's not we settle our differences at the ballot box, Sean.
That's what makes America so great.
Well, you would think so, but people that we disagree with.
But there's been such an effort to undermine this president at a level we've never seen before from the you know highest levels in the in the Justice Department and and the FBI and all over the place.
And Sean, and I know you recognize this, but to President Trump's credit, he's undaunted by it.
He doesn't let uh all of this uh madness and and in some case illegal activity, he doesn't let him get him down.
I mean, he continues to pursue his conservative agenda that he ran off, uh getting the economy back on track, fighting for the the forgotten men and women of this country, and it's working.
And that's why people love him.
That's why you see his numbers continue to go up, uh, because the president is fighting for the people who had been left behind for too long.
And now we're seeing the economy moving again.
We need to keep this progress going.
We need to make sure we house in these midterm elections.
You know, I know you know that I've supported Jim Jordan, and I happen to like you a lot personally and think you're one of the more conservative people in leadership.
But this is you know, here's my my position.
I feel leadership has left people like the Freedom Caucus on the sidelines.
They write bills behind closed doors.
And I think that unless you're going to bring the conservative part of the Republican caucus into the process, it's just unfair.
Am I wrong in my criticism?
Um I would disagree.
And if you just look at the theory, you mean they're saying the health care bill who saw the health care bill before you unloaded it on the Congress?
Nobody.
It was look, that bill spent months after it was filed publicly, being worked on with more and more of our members that had different ideas, better ideas, some weren't maybe better, but at least we worked with everybody.
But on the tax cut bill, we literally had two months of member briefings where Kevin Brady, the chairman of the committee, met with every group within our conference.
He surely met with the Freedom Caucus, the Tuesday group, RSC, all of the people.
The House has been a lot better than the Senate.
I'm not going to disagree.
Listen, I I I we I want you in leadership.
I do.
Um, but I also want somebody like Meadows or Jordan in there also.
And uh and I don't have anything against Kevin McCarthy.
He thinks I do, but I don't.
You know, but no, Kevin, look, Kevin's doing a good job.
And if you look at what we've been doing, we've been working with Mark Meadows and uh Jim Jordan, of course, on a lot of these items.
We work with other members too.
They don't get as much attention.
But if you look at like Mark Walker, the chairman of the RSC, and some of the leaders of the Tuesday group like Catco and Elise Defonic, Rodney Davis.
Uh you know, we we we meet with a lot of different groups within our conference to put bills together, but we've passed some of these bills, and you go back to health care.
You mentioned this.
I've got to run but the Senate never the Senate never follows up.
We've yeah, they fall short.
We've got to get I think we'll get more Republican senators.
You've been promoting some of these breaking.
Well, I hope you fund the wall before the election.
I think it would be good politics, and it keeps a big promise.
And uh we'll have you back to talk about that.
Uh all right, Steve Scalese, 800 941 Sean, toll-free telephone number.
Uh when we come back, we'll check in with our friend Greg Jarrett and also David Shown.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Let me play Devin Nunes from last night, and uh this goes back to the the story that is now emerging and breaking about Bruce Orr and his deep, deep involvement, much more than anybody ever thought, as we talk with Jim Jordan and also John Solomon, and also how the FBI failed to include exculpatory evidence in the Carter Page Pisces.
What is going on here?
And then of course we have uh, you know, so much more to discuss.
Uh let me play this quick and then uh we bring in our guest news roundup information overload.
Senator Grassley, secondly, asked for the Bruce 4302s.
Bruce Orr is going to become more and more important in this investigation.
Explain the 302 and we'll take attention to it.
Explain the 302, which is an official report before they altered.
So the FBI interviewed Bruce Orr at least a dozen times and put together reports.
So once they fired Steele, which at that point they should have not been meeting with him anymore.
But what they had is they had Bruce Orr, whose wife Nellie Orr was working for Fusion GPS, was going to meet uh and still get the information from Christopher Steele as they were trying to verify this unverified dossier or the Clinton dirt that was used to get the Pfizer warrant.
There is exculpatory evidence that we have that we have seen of classified documents that need to be declassified.
These were not like nature in what way?
I don't mean to press you, exculpatory in what way?
In that the Carter Page FISA, when those, the judges should have been presented with this exculpatory evidence that the FBI and DOJ had.
And she got uh compromising materials on shroud after their uh short relations.
Okay.
And what's the nature of the compromise?
Well, there were a picture sort of naked Trump.
Okay.
And so Putin was made aware uh of the the availability of the compromising material.
Yes, of course, uh Buzawa shared those materials with uh Sobchuk and Subshark shares those materials with uh Putin because she's uh Goddaughter of Putin and Putin decided to press on Trump.
Um and 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 are discussed uh those uh compromising materials we are 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.
And then of course we've got Adam Schiff, shiftless shifts and you want to talk about real collusion, we've got it on tape.
Oh, he could he was he was he was panting, he was listening so closely and happy that a Russian was gonna give him dirt on Trump.
Listen, and of course Hillary paid for you know, on top of that, uh paid for all of the Russian propaganda.
With us now, Greg Jarrett, the number one book on the New York Times list now, The Russian hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton, frame Donald Trump, David Schoen, Civil Liberties attorney, and criminal rights attorney.
Uh, let me start with you, Greg, Devin Nunes, and and now this emerging report and these these messages back and forth that we're learning about as it relates to uh Bruce Orr and his involvement in all of this, it's far deeper than anybody ever suspected, and all these meetings that took place, uh, and Christopher Steele sticking around into 2017 with Bruce Orr.
I'm like, you've got to be kidding me, and they wanting to get in touch and still feed, even though he's a liar, a leaker and debunked, they still using this guy to feed Mueller information.
It's really quite astonishing, Sean.
Christopher Steele kept feeding the FBI allegations about Donald Trump even after Steele was fired and after Trump won the election.
Now, why was this done?
Well, it seems apparent to me to destroy Trump and undo the election, and at the same time, they were trying to after the fact verify their previous use of the anti-Trump dossier, which they submitted to a FISA court for a wiretap warrant without it being verified in violation of FBI rules.
And it was also a violation of FBI rules to continue to use a source who has been fired and discredited, but the agents were very clever under James Comey.
They decided, well, we won't meet directly with Christopher Steele anymore.
We'll use a conduit, Bruce Orr, the number four guy at the Department of Justice to act as an intermediary to pass along information to us, and of course, Bruce Orr's wife w assisted in the composition of the dossier.
So this is corruption to find.
What is your reaction to this, David Schoen?
And and I I guess the question I'll ask you is you've defended so many people over the years.
When did any of these people get indicted?
When are their trials?
Uh I mean, everybody the trial of the century is not Paul Manafort.
You know, the f uh and this trial, you know, the star witness of admitting to embezzlement, uh committing fraud and crimes and bank fraud and money laundering and avoiding taxes.
So he's a great these are great witnesses on you know for the prosecution here.
He gets out of jail free, j get out of jail free car.
I'd say anything you want if you're keeping me out of jail.
Well, that's a hundred percent right.
It's especially so in these white collar cases.
These folks will say anything they're told to say in order to avoid a day in jail.
But your real question is, you know, when do when do the cards turn in a sense, and when do we see these other people uh facing the music?
It's a real great question.
I mean, uh now the Justice Department ought to be in the hands of Mr. Session.
It doesn't appear to be.
Um you have exposed on this show uh some of the greatest scandals, most offensive scandals we have ever seen.
We don't even hear about them other places.
And you're not making anything up.
You're playing tapes.
You're using transcripts.
This is all out there.
I don't see the media coming.
Has the media covered that ship phone call that you've played?
That's terrific stuff.
Um look, the Hillary Clinton business, you know, you've documented over and over again.
I don't know.
I mean, Mr. Sessions needs to resurface at some point, and as I've said many times, I believe Ron Rosenstein not only is given too brought a mandate to Mr. Muller, but is an obstacle to having charges brought against his colleagues and friends.
All right, I want to ask you both, and we had a long discussion, the three of us last week, we were talking about Sammy the Bull Gravano, but and I know this is not the same, and I'm looking at these updates, and some of them, frankly, are humorous, and some of them are downright frightening.
This judge Ellis in this case lashing out again at the lead prosecutor.
If jurors defer to the judge, they may view the prosecution as being out of line and overly aggressive, and the prosecution complaining that Ellis is putting a straitjacket on their case.
They're nervous.
The judge is furious.
And I just want to go to the politico, because for days the judge has been, you know, literally saying holding these guys to a certain standard, you're not going to make this about that he's rich.
You're not going to make it, you're not going to throw words like oligarch around.
You know, literally, the judge started mocking.
I mean, I'd never seen anything like this in my life, and I think rightly so, bringing to tears Mueller's prosecutors for a fourth day in a row.
But as this went forward, you know, the prosecutors' frustrations, you know, came out in a series of clashes and you know, let's get to the heart of the matter, the judge says.
Judge, we've been at the heart.
The pros is Mueller's guy, the local guy, Andres uh saying the before the judge Cluther Morphe says, listen to me, don't speak while I'm speaking, said sharply.
He added that he didn't see how the testimony on travel amounts to a hill of beans with regards to the charges against Manafort.
And literally, these clashes, and I was reading this in the politico today, you know, if you know, some of them taking place with the jury in the room, if the jurors are watching this judge, and 95% of federal cases end up in a guilty verdict, I've got to believe there's a shot here for Manafort.
What are your thoughts, Greg?
I think there is a shot uh because whenever your main witness is a guy who's been essentially bribed by prosecutor leniency in exchange for him saying what prosecutors want him to say.
I've always felt like, you know, that's that's bribery, it's suborning perjury in too many cases.
So, you know, these jurors will have to figure out do we believe Rick Gates, who's an admitted liar and embezzler, uh, who has every reason in the world to be lying now?
Uh, where do we believe the accused who is presumed innocent, who says, you know, he relied on Gates for all of these financial transactions that are the at the heart of the prosecution's case.
So that's what it's going to come down to in the end.
You know, I I use the term to you both.
I mean, if if in the case of of this Manafort case and his partner Rick Gates, and and if the prosecution says, Well, we're gonna get you a get out of jail free card, but you gotta testify against your partner.
Now, I'm not sure who did what, when and where.
Well, I didn't even know these people in 2005, and they worked maybe like a hundred days for the president, you know, then candidate Trump.
But my question is if you're gonna say to one guy, if you say everything that we need you to say about that guy, we're gonna give you a get out of jail free card.
Aren't they ostensibly paying, bribing this guy?
And I know prosecutors hate when I say this, but you're offering something in exchange for something.
You're offering a guy a get out of jail free card if you just say what we need you to say.
And to me, there's something fundamentally wrong with that system.
Absolutely right.
You're offering a person in the position of these witnesses, something they simply don't have the intestinal fortitude to say no to.
They will say anything about anyone if it gets them out of jail free.
Remember, reportedly, Manafort has met over 20 times with these prosecutors.
This is a prosecutorial team talking about Lysman and Andres, who have a track record of this kind of thing.
Weissman with witness after witness was said and written letters, etc., that he's told them how to testify, or had agents tell them what he needs them to testify to, regardless of whether or not it's the truth.
Um, maybe even preferably if it's not the truth.
So listen, um, it's very important to remember that Greg Andres is Mueller's guy.
Greg Andres is on the same camp as a Whitesman.
They built their careers in the Eastern District New York.
They're sort of spoiled brett prosecutors.
Weissman, I told you, is known as the pathological liar in the Eastern District.
But the key was they were used to having their way with virtually every judge there, with the exception of two judges in the Eastern district.
Most came out of this office or they were intimidated by them.
Greg Andres has a number of cases assigned to Judge Gareth, a very anti-pro Trump judge, by the way, in the Eastern District, and he would get away with whatever he wanted to get away with.
And then they concocted this story, and it sometimes is reported in the paper that purportedly a mafia so uh threat I could have had a hit on the two of them, Gareth, Judge Gareth, and Greg Andres, completely concocted story, and they knew it.
It was a list that the man gave to a correctional officer to have him put a spell on the centerena religion, but they've lived off of this thing, the so-called murder plot.
Greg Andres is used to having his way, and Judge Ellis isn't having anything.
We gotta take a break.
We'll come back.
We'll have uh more with Greg Jarrett and David Schoen on the other side.
As we continue, Greg Garratty is the number one book on now on the New York Times bestseller list.
It's called the Russian hoax, the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton, frame Donald Trump, David Schoen, civil ru uh liberties and criminal defense attorney.
Uh, I want to give you the same question that David just answered in the last segment, Greg, and and it's really simple.
I you know, I have a real problem with Gates, who admits to being an embezzler, you know, stealing uh a guy that admits that he's up the basically doing the same thing that Manafort is gonna they want Manafort in jail for, but he gets to get out of jail free card, and he gets something.
I you know, I don't know.
Are you paying for the testimony?
You bribing?
I mean, what's the right word?
Why do I look at that and I say there's something corrupt about this?
Well, this is why cross-examination of Rick Gates will be critical to the defense of Paul Manafort.
Uh cross-examination, especially of a witness like this, is often referred to as the engine of truth.
The defense attorneys will explore in detail what Gates is getting out of this.
And they'll try to set the jury straight that this is a guy who's lied before.
He admits that he's lied, he admits that he embezzled money from his partner, the defendant, and you cannot believe a word he is saying.
There's a reason the word.
Why did the All right the All right, got the word snitch?
Why would the jury ever believe him?
I look, I know there's money, I know there's a money trail, I know that they're trying to make the case for the money trail.
I I have no I don't know what Manafort or Gates ever did.
If the documents presented by the prosecution corroborate generally the story that Rick Gates is telling, then perhaps prosecutors will be able to make their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
But that is an incredibly high standard and to me a snitch, and that's a pejorative, invidious term, speaks volumes about the trustworthiness and credibility of a witness like that.
That in my mind equals reasonable doubt.
I agree.
But is it reasonable doubt or is the money going to ultimately decide?
And what is the jury gonna think about oh, your star witness did at least a big part of this, and this guy gets off scot-free, but we're supposed to convict the other guy.
Right.
Look, remember also, this is why the government wants to put in that evidence of wealth and high living lifestyle, a manifold that Judge Ellis has said, you know, cut it out.
They know the jurors by and large resent people who spend that kind of money and live those kind of lifestyles.
But keep your eye on this.
Emails rule.
You know, they try to tell you all along here that the struck and the page emails mean this, they might mean that, they're not so important.
Today it's all about emails in the Manifort trial.
That's what they're trying to use to corroborate Gates.
And the government gets to tell the jury through a witness what those emails should be read to me, how they should be interpreted.
That's why the struck and the page emails and the emails now that you talked about the first part of this segment that are starting to come down about Bruce Orr, etc.
People write emails and still forget that one day someone may see those emails.
The comey email, all of the people.
Now all of this, we've got big breaking news tonight, nine Eastern on Fox.
You guys have been amazing.
Greg Jarrett, congrats to uh David Schoen.
Always great to have you.
We'll take a quick break here.
Uh, we'll come back wide open phones, final half hour.
Sean Hannity shows straight ahead.
Oddly influential with the guy who wants to kill us.
And two are 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 him 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.
In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's holster.
Oh, long 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 race is a why are you even out here?
Get that out of here.
Trump.
It's no longer down with Trumpets.
Trump.
You have members of your cabinet uh that have been booed out of restaurants.
He has protesters taking up at the house.
He sang, no face, no sleep.
No piss, no sleep.
And guess what?
We're gonna win this battle, because while you try and post 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 kiss back on them.
And you tell them they're not welcome.
Any boy, anywhere.
four five six oh oh oh oh oh you Let's go, Lee!
Oh!
Shae, ma'ki!
Yeah!
Wow!
Wow!
Yeah!
White supremacy!
*crying* Go, Pete!
All right, there is your unhinged left.
Now you notice the media gets upset when they just chant, uh, you guys suck, or you guys are awful.
And I mean what I said.
I mean, I'm I'm I am totally in favor of freedom of speech, but I am against any type of violence.
Now we saw we had Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk on Hannity last night on the TV show.
You saw what happened to them.
They were eating in a restaurant.
Just like Secretary Nielsen was eating in a restaurant, just like Pam Bondi and Sarah Sanders and her family, young kids trying to eat in a restaurant.
You've heard what they've said about Melania, about Ivanka, about the children, even their granddaughter.
It just never ends.
The amount of vitriol, hatred, mean spiritedness of the left.
It is on display every day.
And the media, they never cover the good economy.
They're never going to cover the good economy.
They never uh followed the failed record of Barack Obama.
They were never going to tell you that story.
They were never going to vet Barack Obama.
And this is now coming down to what?
We're now 91 days away from election day, 91 days to go.
And I know there's this big race in Ohio, and I know that, you know, this is John Kasich's.
By the way, whose brilliant idea was it to use John Kasich?
I know it was his old district as he's not loved in Ohio anymore.
Because he basically sounds like a liberal Democrat every day.
I have no idea.
Used to be a friend of mine.
Doesn't want anything to do with me.
Won't even take my call.
Anyway, uh Troy Balderson for Congress.
If you happen to be in this district today and you're in Ohio and you're listening, it's around Columbus, and you're listening to this program, I think the polls close at 7 30.
And let me tell you, there's a lot at stake.
Every seat now matters.
Every vote matters.
And uh this is certainly a winnable race.
The president went in on what, Saturday night, and uh for him, and the polls had tightened up to, I think he was down one where he'd been up 10.
And you never know in an election, you never know in a special election.
You never know in an off-year election.
They just don't know.
But um I hope the peak great people of Ohio will get out and vote for this guy because you know what?
If the Democrats get a hold of the House, we know what they're gonna do.
It's gonna be investigation, investigation, hearings, investigation, try and impeach Trump if they can.
We know they want their crumbs back.
They don't want you to keep your tax cut money.
They think it's theirs.
It's crumbs, but they want it back.
It was just crumbs, why would they want the crumbs?
Uh and they want to keep Obamacare.
You know, keep how did that work out for you and your family?
Keeping your doctor, keeping your plan and saving money.
How did that work out for you?
And they want to get rid of ice, they want open borders, they want the investigations into the deep state.
We just literally broke open how big Bruce Orr is in all of this.
And so I just hope a lot of people will go out and vote.
All right, 800-941 Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Uh, let me just get to our phones.
Uh, let me say hi to Amy is in Louisiana.
Amy, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Thank you.
Um, I was just gonna call and say that, you know, women do love Trump and mothers love Trump.
I was very concerned with my two sons' future with Hillary Clinton and you know, the way that I could see men will be punished in the future.
And it's very frustrating that people will say that, you know, my husband might have told me who to vote for.
Like, I can't think for myself.
I make my own decisions.
And I pray that these people in the special election vote for the Republicans because I do feel it's going so well, and I would hate for it to be undone.
That's what it's all about.
It's all about being undone.
This is, you know, I look that you know what they want to do.
And you know, Rush put it very succinctly.
We actually played a clip of him last night on TV, and he's saying it a little differently than I'm saying it, but it's it's he's right.
I mean, if you bring it down to its brass tax, you know, he what he's saying is that it's all about hatred.
It's not about a vision for America.
Remember, 2016 was about, oh my gosh, we got 13 more million Americans on food stamps, eight million more in Poverty and the lowest labor participation rate.
Now we have the highest labor participation rate, but that was since the 70s and the worst recovery since the 40s and homeownership rate at a 51 year low and and literally accumulating more debt than every other president before him combined.
It bothers me that Americans' memories are so short.
It also bothers me there has been an unrelenting attack.
They have not stopped attacking this president since the day he came down the escalator with Melania Trump.
And now the the efforts that we have discovered of people that have tried everything the uh at the highest levels of power to destroy this man and his family and undo an election.
I if that doesn't motivate us, I don't know what will.
And that's a big problem.
So I'll give you the last word.
I feel like this is the first time in my life that things have actually got done.
I mean, everything he has said, he has delivered.
And I feel like every attack against him is an attack against me because I feel the same way as he does.
What he did for is what we voted for.
And so I don't know that they don't realize that when they attack him, they attack me and my family because I take it personal.
You know, it should you should take it personal.
Remember the media thinks we're dumb.
The media thinks we made a mistake.
The media thinks this was a fluke because they can't accept that they lost and they lost for a reason.
They lost because their governing hurt the American people.
They lost because they deserve to lose.
And so now they want to undo it.
This is their do-over.
This is their attempt.
Oh, well, we're gonna fix this.
We'll take back the Congress, which by the way, is not it's something that happens, but we know what they want to do if they get a hold of the Congress.
Anyway, appreciate the call, Amy.
Thank you.
Uh back to our busy telephones.
Kathy is in Minnesota, in a way, a state that Donald Trump came very close to winning.
How are you, Kathy?
Oh, hi, Sean.
It's really wonderful to talk to you.
Yeah, Trump should really come here because he almost won Minnesota.
And uh I I used to be a Bernie girl, really supported him, but I I couldn't even vote um for Democrats in that in that election that year.
So this year, by the way, how do you feel as a Bernie Sanders supporters?
Nobody ever talks about this.
Hillary robbed the primary, rigged it, robbed it, and basically screwed over every Bernie Sanders supporter.
Oh, yes, I want my donations back.
I don't blame you.
I really you deserve it.
Really sad.
Very sad, you know, and uh something hopefully will get done about that.
But um, I'm I'm done with that.
I'm I'm completely done with uh uh that party, and I will be um first time ever voting Republican in the primary this next week.
I like you know that he's strong on the military and the police, and uh it's it's really great to see.
And uh Well, look at this.
Look at what the New York Times hires.
F the police, not once, numerous times.
You know, racial comments the way this this woman, Mrs. Young.
I mean, I can't believe the comments she made and they hired her.
Oh, yeah, no, they're trying to have a race war and get people who uh you know support Trump not to uh support him thinking he's a racist.
So it's it's just a game they're playing.
But I don't think they're gonna win it.
And I do think people need to go into the inner cities and talk about how the Democrats have just ruined all these cities.
You know, there needs to be more people going to those cities.
Um, just explaining the policies.
I used yeah, I used to live in Chicago.
It's uh it's a great city, but I'm glad I'm in Minnesota right now.
Yeah, well, listen, I understand.
Look, the whole good news about everything is we can really save the country.
You know, the America has the resources.
There's Just energy alone, and we're talking about, you know, millions of high-paying career jobs in states that need them and a revitalization of states that have been neglected, where you know, we were told jobs are never coming back, that we'd never have manufacturing in America again, et cetera, et cetera, that we can't compete, that Americans don't want to do these jobs.
I'm sick of hearing all of it because that's not the America that I know.
And and to see millions of Americans now off of food stamps, millions of Americans now in the workforce, millions of Americans now prospering, opportunities that that we haven't had in over a decade emerging.
I mean, it's a pretty exciting time.
Let you know, as Reagan once said in his reelection, you know, stay the course.
Let's not go backwards here.
And that's what the next 91 days are about.
Don't go backwards.
Anyway, Kathy, God bless you.
Glad you called.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
One of the bizarre happenings in the courtroom in the Manafort case today is oh, uh, wouldn't you have faced up to 290 years in jail?
Oh, that's right.
Muller gave him a get out of jail free card.
We got that and breaking news, Bruce Or up to his eyeballs.
We'll explain all of this tonight on Hannity, Greg Jarrett, Mark Meadows, John Solomon, Janine Pirot, Jay Sekulo weighs in.
What's the future of the Mueller investigation and much more?
