All right, 89 days, the most important midterm election in your life.
You know what this is about.
We've got our grand plan that we have now put in place.
And uh really we'll be moving right after Labor Day, uh full bore when everyone gets back on their normal schedules, full attention.
One of the uh real stars who the president actually tweeted out and called the future star of the Republican Party, future Senator John James.
This guy has an amazing background, flew 800 uh hours uh in theater in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, served eight years in the military, has more awards than uh, you know, just an incredible list of awards that he has.
Then he takes a business and quadruples its wealth in a short period of time.
He's a job creator.
And uh I gotta tell you, everything that I hear and see and read about this guy, he's unbelievable.
He's gonna join us later in the program today.
I think the president's right.
I think we got a future star in our hands, although I did make a mistake once with Sass the ass.
Uh I thought, you know, I thought he had the potential of being somebody that could be a real breakout star.
I hope his days in Nebraska are are soon numbered.
I'd love to see him get primaried.
He deserves to be out.
I mean, he's he offered so much hope.
Anyway, I was listening to a tape of John James, and I was I don't get impressed with politicians very often.
This guy's life, his background, his experience, his success, his service.
I mean, it's an amazing life story.
And I love to see that.
That's what it should be for all of us here in America.
Uh, in my opinion.
All right, we got we got so much deep state news we're gonna get to.
I I promise.
Uh I'm not gonna get that deep into uh the election from the other night.
I do have a couple of sidebar notes on it.
One is pretty funny.
You know, the winner of Tuesday night's primary, Democratic primary in Michigan, you know, widely celebrated as somebody that was going to be the first Muslim woman ever elected to Congress.
That's fine, that's great.
Uh, but that was before she told a TV interviewer today that if she wins, she intends to vote against Nancy Pelosi to continue as the House Minority Leader.
God forbid, never speaker.
Anyway, I need someone who's connected with different levels of poverty going on in her district.
She said, adding that Pelosi's troubling support of big banks wouldn't put her people first.
And asked if she thought Pelosi was a Democratic sellout.
She responded, Well, I don't know, but all I can tell you is she doesn't speak about the issues that are important to the families of the 13th Congressional District, and they are a priority for me.
They're the ones that put me here.
They're the ones who put faith in me, and I have to listen to them, and I have to make sure I never back down and don't sell out personally.
You know what?
Good for her.
I mean, and I know she's a Democrat, but I love the fact that she's, you know, start so many people say the right things.
They get to Washington, and it's like the culture shifts dramatically and changes, and they want to be.
You know, this is a lesson for life.
Don't want to be like that much.
What do you mean we all want to be liked?
Yeah, of course, I'm in a business where if enough of you don't like me, I don't have a microphone on this on your radio station, and I don't have a camera in front of me every night.
So do I need people to like me?
Yeah, but I'm not gonna sell my soul to be liked.
And there's a difference.
You know, I watch um all of these people that once claimed in their careers to be conservative.
And they end up on, you know, fake news, CNN or conspiracy TV, MSNBC.
They end up there and they become huge, huge, massive liberals.
They don't even for example, put labels aside, but label like all of this talk about Trump is a nationalist.
No, he's he's not governing as a nationalist.
He's not governing in that vein.
What do they also say about him and a populist?
He's a populist, he's a n, you know.
Okay, saying American first or America first.
Well, every country does that.
Actually, I think we're the only country that doesn't say, you know, our country should come first.
The American people.
How do we help people around the world if we don't help our own people first?
It's another way to put it.
You know, we've got to get every American working.
That's why I keep pointing out all these economic numbers matter so much because they're millions of real people, our American family, American jobs.
This is American kids we're raising.
That's why I'm hoping the president does something in Chicago.
I'm praying to God we don't have another weekend like last weekend.
71 people shot, 12 dead.
I don't know if any more have passed away.
Others were fighting for their lives.
This is one city.
You know, this is American treasure.
Rama Manuel actually said it's up to the communities to fix this.
And I'm like, no, the communities have police that protect and serve the people.
That's why we pay all that money in taxes in Illinois and Chicago in particular is a highly taxed city.
And we're not protecting the people of Chicago.
And all these people are dying, and we're not doing anything.
And I, you know, the fact that state representatives in Illinois are saying, all right, forget Rama Manuel, he's an idiot.
They're asking the president to go in.
I hope he, I don't know if he's heard.
I hope he does, and I hope when he does, that he gets in there and can help out, help to say we need to create safer neighborhoods for our fellow Americans as an American city.
But the president does govern to me as a Reagan conservative, which I have been my whole life.
But again, it's labels.
He believes in originalism in terms of judicial appointments, in other words, not legislating from the bench, not getting not doing in the judicial branch that which you could never do at the ballot box or in the legislative branch, which is what liberals always hope for because they can never run on what they really want and believe.
Um he is a believer in limited government, ending the bureaucracy, tax cuts to stimulate the economy and and create jobs.
You know, a nation without borders is not a nation, Reagan said.
He believes in securing our nation's borders, but he even talks about a big door.
We want to be an inclusive society.
There's also, you know, countries like New Zealand and Australia, they have merit-based immigration.
If you have particular skills that are necessary, that are gonna help create jobs that are gonna that are needed for big business in the country so we can be more competitive.
Yeah, I think they should get a top priority.
That's what other countries do.
I don't think that's necessarily a horrible thing.
And then if we ask people, if you're gonna come in, you've got to be able to take care of yourself.
That's not that much to ask for.
Don't ask the American taxpayers, and just do it legally.
So we know you want to be a part of our family.
I don't really give a flying rip where you come from.
My grandparents, at the turn of the last century, came here with nothing from Ireland.
They were literally dirt poor.
Nothing.
You know, 10 bucks in their pocket.
Good luck.
Have fun in America.
They didn't have the greatest lives.
They didn't have but they were happy.
They wanted to build a future for their children.
They did.
And then their children wanted to build a future for me.
They did.
I'm trying to build the future for My kids, I'm I'm hopefully succeeding on some level.
And, you know, we all stand on the shoulders of those that come before us.
I want everybody in the world to have that opportunity.
But, you know, think about this too.
If America's economy recovers and comes back, it benefits everybody worldwide.
The world benefits when America is standing tall and strong economically and on foreign policy.
I mean, whether we like it or not, you know, we are the greatest, last hope for man on this earth.
And we better remain moral and true, and we're not perfect.
We all know that.
We had a president last time that apologized, you know, daily for America, went on an apology tour.
We're not perfect, but you know what?
If America's strong, if America's economy is strong, if America's strong militarily, and we can stare down threats from rogue nations like Tehran, which we're doing and is working.
Well, the world's gonna be better off.
That means the people in other countries are gonna be better off.
We get trade deals that uh that have reciprocity, everybody does better.
Anyway, back to the election for a second.
I it's funny to watch Bill Nelson down in Florida.
He's actually getting ready now to create an excuse about why he's gonna lose down there to Governor Rick Scott.
Rick Scott is a rock star.
I really got to know him.
Rick Scott was up here with Bobby Gindle and Rick Perry.
They're always up in New York.
Why are you guys always here?
They call and say, you know, we'd like to come on the show, or we're available if you need us.
All right, come on.
I'd love to have you.
Why are you here?
Oh, we're here to steal New York businesses.
We're here to entice them with with less regulation, lower taxes, and we're gonna show how it's worth their while to move to our state to create jobs in our states.
Well, isn't that kind of what Trump is saying?
You know, again, the label.
Nationalist, populists, whatever you want.
No, it it it these are conservative principles.
And if you have a better economic environment for business and you're telling businesses a meeting with businesses, and you're like, well, you would have made another 15, 20, 30 million, and you could have hired 400 more people if you came to our state.
Uh I think I've a businessman, I'm gonna say that's a good idea.
Oh, and the weather's better.
Oh, and the home prices are cheaper.
Oh, and uh, yeah, we got a thriving environment.
Anyway, so yesterday, Nelson telling the Tampa Bay Times that Russian operatives have already penetrated certain counties in Florida, and that they now have free reign to move about.
He's lost his mind.
And then Nelson said something similar earlier in the day in Tallahassee.
That's classified, he said.
And he outlines a scenario in which which Russian entities have stripped voters of their registration in order to cause disorder with American democracy.
He's scared blee, you know, that the governor did a great job in Florida.
I I can't see Rick Scott not winning.
He deserves to win.
Look at his hands-on approach when the hurricanes came down there.
Oh, by the way, there is a newsbusters article about how the media are blaming climate change for California wildfires, but of course, ignoring forestry policy and land use factors.
You know, of course, first it was global cooling.
The ice age is coming.
That was in the 70s.
Then it was global warming.
And that didn't work out so well with the statistics.
Then they just say climate change.
So if it's hot, it's where our fault is you human beings.
If it's cold, our fault.
It's capitalism's fault.
I guess we should all, you know, live in a I don't know, a tent in our backyards.
Ride bicycles to work every day.
The planet has a fever.
Yeah, has a fever.
Fever.
Crazy, insane politicians like Al Gore.
Every single presidential candidate that loses, they go nuts.
They all think they're gonna win.
You know who else goes nuts?
The people that ran their campaigns.
They go nuts too.
They can't believe they lost.
Back up, you creep.
Hey, get away from me.
Hey, Slow.
Whoa, whoa, what's the uh well, I'm gonna get Nancy Pelosi tells audience vote democratic to give illegal aliens leverage.
That's also part of it.
Uh, we've got a lot on the deep state.
Muller's case against Manafort apparently now is on a little bit of jeopardy.
New email showing Christopher Steele colluding with Putin connected oligarch and Bruce Orr, the fourth highest ranking member of the Justice Department, both before and after the election.
By the way, here's an interesting New York Times piece.
You know, Manafort's being prosecuted for tax evasion.
Where's the prosecution of Al Sharpton?
I'll give you the details.
And we've got also uh Trump rules now would bar welfare payments to new immigrants, which, you know what, if you're gonna come here, we want you in the country, but you gotta be able to take care of yourself.
Oh, and Sharpton says he may actually run in 2020.
I'm not making that up.
Uh oh, and you got one uh New York Times columnist urging colleagues to conspire so they can torpedo Trump.
That would be called their newspaper on a daily basis.
That's all they do.
All right, we'll get to all of that and much more.
800 nine four-one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh a lot of news breaking on the deep states.
Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett, uh, who the president said is the next rock star of the Republican Party, John James, Michigan uh Senate candidate.
But as we roll along, Sean Hannity show, uh so much happening with regards to the deep state.
I want to just give you some headlines on it before we get into some more of the details, and we'll have Greg and Sarah joining us as well.
You know, we've been outlining now for a couple of days how these new emails and correspondence between Christopher Steele and of course Bruce Orr, the fourth highest ranking member of the DOJ.
And Nellie Orr, Bruce's wife, work for Fusion GPS.
That's the group that put together the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for phony dossier with Russian lies from the you know foreign agent, uh Christopher Steele, who himself doesn't even stand by his own dossier.
Now we've got new emails showing Christopher Steele colluding with Putin connected with a Putin connected oligarch.
I mean, it just what's happening here is every day now it's getting worse than I thought it was going to even be.
I knew there was a lot more coming, and I'm told there's really a lot more coming, and there's going to be a pr pretty big bomb dropping tonight at 9 p.m. on my show.
And emails in 2016 between, you know, Christopher Steele, top Justice Department official Bruce Orr, suggesting Steele was deeply concerned about the legal status of a Putin-linked Russian oligarch, and at times seemed to be advocating on the oligarch's behalf.
Meanwhile, they're conspiring to spread the Russian lies before the election that Steele even knows are just BS.
And then right after the election, which we all know is BS, so they could destroy the president that they were hell-bent on stopping with their insurance policies.
I'll explain all of this as we continue.
800-941 Sean is our number.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program.
And notice there's a story on the Blaze.
And the headline is the NAACP calls the president a racist after its own poll shows improved black approval rating.
Remember, Matt Rasmussen had the president last Friday at 29 percent African-Americans approval rating, up from 8 percent during the 2016 election.
Anyway, so there was a poll that the NAACP put together that shows that the president's approval rating among black voters is nearly three times higher than the percent of African-Americans that voted for him in 2016.
Now, again, we have record low unemployment in the African-American community, Hispanic community, Asian community.
Um, and you know, for whatever reason, you know, they're saying that the new poll actually confirms Trump's racism.
I'm trying to understand this.
The report accompanying the poll results, Trump's improved approval rating among black voters doesn't override the perceived negative impact the president is having on race relations.
Anyway, the poll showed Trump's approval rating among black voters at twenty-one percent.
Now that's 29% on Rasmussen.
He only got eight percent of the black vote in the twenty sixteen election.
And by the way, I pointed this out often that during the Obama eight years of economic disaster.
If you look at the people that disproportionately were impacted negatively by Obama's policies, it was minorities in America.
And I pointed out the disparity that was in Bloomberg is lower than it's it's been since 1972 in terms of percentage of demographic communities and getting work in the country.
You know, I think most I can't stand every election year because it's the same playbook.
Republicans are racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic.
They want dirty air and water.
They want to kill children.
They want children to die and breathe dirty air and dirty and drink dirty water.
And grandma, we're going to throw her over the cliff.
It's insane.
Because none of that is true.
But the policies of the president, lower taxes, ending the bureaucracy, is hands-on approach, incentivizing businesses to build and invest in America, is resulting in a resurgence in jobs for all Americans.
In other words, our family, our American family.
Put all demographics aside.
Don't we want everybody in America to prosper?
I do.
Every American should have their shot at the American dream.
And if we get to that point, you know, we're going to have a better, stronger country.
And it's amazing what economic success does in this country for everybody.
I mean, it's, you know, literally, what, you know, what why every single American, I believe we could get to the point that able-bodied, obviously, I think can have a nice car in a nice safe neighborhood with a nice house,
two-car garage that can afford a family vacation every year, that could afford to go out to dinner, that could save for their retirement years, you know, if we continue to really focus in on building up America's economy.
One of the best things I think we're going to do, and we haven't done for years, is that I think we've not tapped into our energy resources.
I keep saying it.
You know, drill here, drill now, pay less.
We've been talking about this for years.
All right, I'm not going to stay focused.
But listen, we do that, everybody benefits.
Imagine revitalization in great cities.
We're going to have in the next hour the Michigan senatorial candidate that the president says is a future star of the Republican Party, John James.
You know, imagine if we, he's from Michigan, if we could revitalize Detroit.
One of the saddest things I saw the last time in Detroit, we've talked about it.
You can go on at one point, you can go on one of these websites, Craigslist or whatever places you go to buy stuff, eBay, and buy a house for a dollar.
I mean, you have entire neighborhoods abandoned.
And now they're talking about and have been talking about bulldozing entire neighborhoods to consolidate services because of the massive population loss because of the loss of opportunity in manufacturing jobs and factories that were once vibrant in all of Detroit that made it one of America's greatest cities.
It's sad what has happened there.
It reminded me of my time down post-Catrina in New Orleans.
It was so bad.
You know, why can't we talk about revitalizing these cities?
You know, that's only going to happen if we get rid of all the bureaucracy, lower the taxes, create a friendly business environment.
We entice businesses to spend trillions that they parked overseas, which we're doing now, so that they can invest in in all of these centers here in America and put Americans back to work and build American products.
And then we can, you know, build out from there.
We can get better trade deals.
The better trade deals result in our products being sold to countries that want to partner with us in a free and fair way.
This is not complicated.
It's, you know, it's it's frustrating because it can happen.
And, you know, so, you know, I know everyone breaks things down in a demographic.
Let's get every American the best job we can, the best career job we can, so that they can build their future with confidence, that they can have their piece of the American dream, they can create a better life for their children and their grandchildren,
that they get some of the benefits that that you know literally have been ripped away from them in large part because of government failure and failed government policies.
Government policies destroys the incentive of businesses to literally want to do business in our own country.
That's now changing.
It's not an accident that we've turned the economy around from the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s to now the highest labor participation rate ever.
You know, it's not an accident.
14 states have record low unemployment.
It's not an accident that we have record low unemployment with this varying demographic groups, women in the workforce, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, African Americans, uh, veterans are now getting back to work.
That's good for the country.
The 2016 election was about the forgotten man and forgotten women in this country.
And that's why I was beating the, you know, pounding it daily.
You know, the 13 million more Americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty.
You know, you know these statistics, because I I purposefully say it, because the policies failed the American people.
You know, we can fix all of that, and it's beginning to happen.
That's why this election in 89 days matters.
It's like what Reagan said back in 1984.
Stay the course.
Let's not go backwards here.
Unfortunately, people's memories are short.
I don't think they remember how bad it was under Obama.
It was bad.
His policies did nothing to help people around the country and create jobs and opportunity and incentivized business.
It was just the opposite.
Anyway, let me go back to this Byron York piece in the Washington Examiner.
And now we got these emails in 2016 between Hillary Clinton's uh British spy buddy that got us the Russian lies.
He doesn't even stand by his own dossier.
And uh the fourth highest ranking Obama Justice Department official Bruce Orr, whose wife Nellie worked for Fusion GPS.
Anyway, this suggests Steele was deeply concerned about the legal status of a Putin-linked Russian oligarch.
And at times seemed to be advocating on the oligarch's behalf.
In the same time period that Steele was working on collecting the Russian-related allegations against Trump, known as the Trump dossier, which all turned out to be lies, unverified, uncorroborated, which by the way was designed to manipulate and misinform you, the American people, in the lead up to an election.
And then even in a more sinister way became the basis in the bulk of information for Pfizer warrants.
And that fraud was committed on a Pfizer court four times.
Absolute information withheld, Hillary paid for it.
They never told the court, but we never independently corroborated this.
They just handed it over because they so desperately wanted to get Trump.
Now, these emails given to Congress by the Justice Department began on January 12, 2016.
Steele sent Orr a New Year's greeting.
Steele brought up the case of Russian alum uh the some aluminum magnet guy, Oleg uh Derophska, referred to in various emails as OD or OVD at the time seeking a visa to attend an Asian Pacific economic cooperation meeting in the U.S. years earlier.
The U.S. revoke uh Dereth Poska and his visa, reportedly on the basis of his involvement potentially with Russia and organized crime.
The emails show Steel and Or were in freaking frequent contact.
They intermingled talk about Steele's research, the oligarchs' affairs, Glenn Simpson, the head of the dirt-digging group Fusion GPS that hired Steele to compile the phony dossier, also part of the conversation.
And Steele emailing again on February 8th, 2016, alerting Orr that our old friend O. D. apparently has been granted another official emphasis in original visa to come to the U.S. later this month.
And Steele wrote, as far as I'm concerned, this is good news all around as before.
It would be helpful if you could monitor it and let me know if there are any complications that arise.
Orr replied that he knew about the visa to the extent that I can, I will keep an eye on the situation.
And by the way, Steele again asked to meet anytime.
Orr was in the UK or Western Europe.
Steele wrote again, February 21st in an email.
OVD visit to U.S. Steele told Orr that he had talked to Waldman and Paul Hauser, who was uh Dara Poska's law London lawyer, and Steele reported that there would be a U.S. government meeting on Deropaska that week.
Quote, an interagency meeting on him this week, which I guess you will be attending.
And then Steele said he was circulating some recent sensitive, you know, Orbis reporting on Darapaska, suggesting that he was not a tool of the Kremlin.
Sounds like Bruce Orr is colluding with Russia and somebody of questionable character.
And Steele said he would send the report to a name redacted in the email, as he has asked for legal reasons, I understand for all such reporting be filtered through him to you at DOJ and others.
And Daropaska's rehabilitation was a good thing.
Steele wrote, We reckon, therefore, that the forthcoming OVD contact represents a good opportunity for the USG.
Orr responded by saying, Thanks, Chris.
Extremely interesting.
I hope we can follow up in a few weeks.
These incriminating emails go on and on.
If Muller had an ounce of integrity, this would be what he's investigating.
It's insane.
Absolutely insane what is going on right now with this deep state investigation.
You know, what did we learn yesterday?
Uh we learned that Steele and Orr were communicating to hurt Trump before the election.
His wife working on Fusion GPS and the dossier.
They're meeting, they're talking constantly before the election.
They talked then about how frustrated they are with the long re-engagement after Steele got canned by the FBI.
Remember, we learned last week that the FBI had been paying Steele 11 separate payments.
And then he's asking, well, you know, from Steele to Orr, why can't I get in with the special counsel?
What's taking so long?
Well, his entire dossier, he himself under oath in Great Britain said was raw intelligence that he couldn't verify.
Heard nothing back from the special counsel colleagues.
So they're feeding this crap, these lies, just like they fed it to four separate Pfizer court judges.
Now they're trying to feed it to Mueller to take down Trump because they didn't succeed in stopping Trump.
So now we're at the insurance policy phase of all of this.
Disappointing, we would risk everything to help them reach the truth.
What part of his dossier is truth?
None of it.
And what's really even more astonishing, documents showing Steele was a confidential human source for the FBI seven months before the FBI officially and formally launched their investigation into Trump Russia collusion.
And almost immediately the FBI knew Steele was untrustworthy.
Formally admonished within a couple of weeks, ten months later, fired for lying to the FBI.
But they're still paying him.
And, you know, both the Bureau, the Justice Department should never have relied on him for anything, nor should they have signed off on his phony dossier to get Pfizer warrants.
You know, records showing that Steele telling Bruce Orr just before the election that he was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president.
And then afterwards, they're colluding.
How can they?
You know, how could they possibly stop him now that he is elected?
All of this is illegal, by the way.
And it's conspiracy, and it's Russia.
It's so sick and ugly and twisted and despicable that all of this information exists, and your media doesn't do a darn thing about it.
And they don't follow it.
And they purposely don't report a lot of it.
And they go with their lie and their narrative.
It's just uh so despicable.
So corrupt.
You said earlier Bruce Orr was not working on the Russia investigation.
Let me ask you my knowledge.
To your knowledge.
Did you not know that Bruce Orr was meeting with Christopher Steele, getting the information about the dossier and supplying that information to the FBI at the same time his wife Nellie was working for Fusion GPS that was helping Hillary Clinton.
Did you not know he was doing that for the FBI?
Correct.
You did not know that.
Correct.
Okay.
So he officed a couple of doors down, but you had no idea that he was actually the go-between to get that information.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show, glad you're with us, 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of this program, as we have massive new developments to this deep state story that we have now been uncovering layer by layer by layer, as we now see that in the last two days, and there's going to be more news tonight as it relates to this go,
you know, deep state go-between as it the plot thickens with Bruce Orr, Christopher Steele, two columns, one by John Solomon, one by Sarah Carter, now showing the depth and the length and the breadth of which there were contacts with Christopher Steele.
And remember, he's just like Struck and Page, he wants to defeat Trump.
The most stunning admission he had was in Great Britain when he actually said, Oh, this is raw intelligence, and this raw intelligence has not been verified or corroborated.
And this raw intelligence, I don't know if it's true, maybe 50-50.
But not only were they trying to use that phony, unverified Clinton, and by the way, the FBI was also paying Christopher Steele, used that dossier to undermine the president and his hopes and his chances in the general election.
Now we're seeing the depths to which they have gone and what they were doing in terms of meeting and seemingly conspiring to get all of this phony information into the hands of Robert Mueller, so that Robert Muller can use the lies again to sabotage Donald Trump's presidency.
Number one, it's an attempt to rig and steal an election, and then it's to undermine a duly elected president.
A lot of details as it relates to these Bruce Orr documents raising really serious questions about the connections involved in all of this.
Uh Sarah Carter, Fox News uh contributor, investigative reporter, Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst, his book now two weeks in a row, number one on the New York Times list, The Russian hoax, and that is the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump.
Welcome both of you.
Sarah, let's start with the new news here that we have.
Uh, because I think this is now we're getting even deeper into this, the weeds than we ever thought possible.
We now have the fourth highest ranking member of the Justice Department.
His wife helped put together this dossier, Nellie Orr, we're told, and that he is selling and meeting with Christopher Steele, who was fired by the FBI plotting to bring him back, and also the emails revealing that they want to meet with Mueller and feed him this debunked information.
Well, I think it's incredible because I think for a while we've known that Orr played a significant role in what happened uh during the 2016 FBI investigation into this alleged collusion, Russia Trump uh collusion, and I think there was a lot of concern that how expansive the players were.
Not just Bruce Orr, but there were people within the State Department.
We know that.
We know uh there were high-level officials like Victoria Newland, Sidney Blumenthal, who is friends with Hillary Clinton, Cody Scheer, who was also very close to the Clintons, and how all these people intermingled and Shared the same information, all the same information that uh Christopher Steele, by the way, like you rightfully said, Sean, wasn't able to prove.
He got this disinformation from Russian sources and from other European sources, and he was not able to prove the majority of it.
But it spread like wildfire among these people that wanted to actually stop President Trump from ever becoming president.
And if he did become president, well, we see what's happened now.
And now what we know is that Bruce Orr was in communication with Christopher Steele um consistently.
Explain the nature of these communications, though.
I mean, we we went over some of this last night, but I mean, as you as you look through the depth of all of this, I mean, we can start this is both before and after the election.
Before the election, Steele writes to Orr.
Remember, Ellie Nor work Ellie uh Nelly Orr works for Fusion GPS.
She speaks Russian, she's a Russian she was hired for that specific purpose, and also for the specific purpose of her connections inside the DOJ.
Well, all of these people were working in concert with one goal in mind.
Okay, so before the election, you got Steele writing to Orr.
I spoke to my old colleagues last week, and they assured me that they would not stand in the way of our re-engagement with the Bureau.
Or text back.
Great, I'll pass this along to my colleagues.
Thank you.
And then right after the election, nine days after the election, uh, months after the Mueller witch hunt was underway, Steele writes to Orr.
I am presuming you've heard nothing back from your special counsel colleagues on the issues you kindly put to them for me.
He's already fired by the FBI at this point.
He is and his phony dossier that he says he has no clue if it's true, now debunked.
He's pushing after the election.
And then Steele goes on to say to say this is disappointing would be an understatement.
Certain people have been willing to risk everything to engage with them in an effort to help reach the truth.
But there's even more than that.
I mean, they literally were trying, I'll go to Greg now, to use the Russian lies that she that Hillary paid for to lie to the American people and rig an election, not unlike what you did to poor Bernie Sanders.
And then after the election, Steele is still involved with top DOJ FBI people, and they're trying to undermine the president with something we now know not to be true.
And I haven't even yet mentioned how that phony dossier that they never verified or corroborated, and it has since been debunked, then is used to get not one but four Pfizer warrants and lying to FISA judges on four separate occasions and putting forth a fraud fraudulent document and also purposely withholding other information like oh Hillary paid from it for it, which would have sunk it from the beginning.
I mean it just shows it shows you how devious and corrupt James Comey and others and Bruce Orr at the uh Department of Justice were in their efforts to try to destroy Trump to frame him for things he didn't do.
The FBI knew that dossier was fabricated.
They knew the steel was a liar, and even after they were forced to fire him and could no longer use him under FBI guidelines, they used Bruce Orr as a conduit.
Uh I mean, talk about an underhanded scheme.
And even after Trump is elected and is sworn into office in January of 2017, they keep at it.
Why?
Well, in addition to wanting to undo the election results, they knew they'd broken the law because they'd used this unverified dossier to the Pfizer court, and they were desperate to try to verify that, which was unverifiable.
Let's explain because in in your column yesterday, you bring in the fact that it struck and page are even connected to this, Sarah.
Yes, and I think this is really important.
And what what Greg said right now is even more important.
I mean, they were using it as a back channel, they were uh or as a back channel, they were piggybacking off of information it which is what they did in the foreign intelligence surveillance application that they took out on Carter Page.
So basically, without verifying anything, what they did was they just piggybacked off information that Steele was leaking to the media.
And now, according to documents that I have seen that I have, I've obtained uh a series of them, we know that Orr had actually met with in his notes.
It appears on November 21st, after the election, several weeks after the election, he had met with none other struck Lisa Page, Joe Pienka about what?
About the probe.
He talks about Christopher Steele in these notes.
He also talks about Paul Manafort, which I found very interesting.
You know, they're gonna push forward.
There's no prosecution yet, moving forward with M, which is referring to Manafort, got to contact Steele.
And I think this is incredible because the FBI, just like Greg had said, and established the FBI had let him go because he violated all of their lives.
They knew it.
So they had to have this back channel, and the back channel was Christopher Orr.
So in the Christopher Steele, you mean.
I mean, cr yeah, Christopher Steele.
And what they did was they used Bruce Orr, and we have the Department of Justice, the FBI, and all and the Department of State, all working in concert during the Obama administration to investigate President Trump for none other than Hillary Clinton and he, which, by the way, paid for the Christopher Steele dossier.
And we know that Glenn Simpson now is very well involved with um Bruce Orr as well.
He was in contact with him.
Uh, it wasn't just through his wife, they had direct contact, and it's all becoming very murky.
All right.
So now there are other handwritten documents that I hear are coming out.
Do you know anything about those?
Yes, there are a number of handwritten documents.
Um, some of those documents actually, and uh these ones I have not been privy to.
This is according to sources that I've spoken with, uh, actually have Peter Strck conversations with cr uh with Bruce Orr.
So I think that's very that'll be very interesting to see.
What was Peter Strzok saying?
What were they conversing about?
How were they involved together in this investigation?
Uh another, I think, very important point here is that Lisa Page, remember, was the general counsel of Andrew McCabe.
She had no business really being involved, and I've spoken to a number of people about this in a national security investigation, such as Trump at the time.
So what was Lisa Page's role?
What was McCabe's role?
I mean, McCabe has been fired since.
But what was his role during this investigation?
How did he handle this?
Was it just Peter Strck, or was Peter Strzok reporting to others like Bill Priest, who was above him, we don't hear much about, and then McCabe above Bill Priestapp.
So these will be very interesting notes to look through to find out.
I've heard that Congress has received a few thousand documents.
Some have said 200 between text messages and emails and other documents related to this case.
All right, let me go back to Greg on the legal side of all of this.
You know, we do have the Balton paid for Russian lies that was used and disseminated by people like Brennan and and we know Steele was briefing the press.
We now know he didn't even believe his own dossier.
Uh that's all a lie to the American people to swing an election on a lie that is based on Russian lies that Hillary paid for.
You got Shifless Schiff breathlessly talking to a Russian hoaxer uh who's out there telling him I've gotten naked pictures of Donald Trump.
I can't I I give it to you.
I give the you know Tell Vladimir.
Uh I will meet him after the election when I have more flexibility.
All these incidents and we never get any movement on the law here.
The level of a double standard, it takes my breath away.
And and I repeat what I've been saying, Greg.
If we don't have equal application of our laws and equal justice under the law, we don't have a constitution, and our constitutional republic crumbles.
Yes, and all of these are felonies.
Uh one of them is abuse of power, 18 USC 242.
You know it well, Sean.
Uh major fraud against the U.S. is another felony, conspiracy to defraud the U.S. If you're using a position of power uh improperly, uh you're defrauding the government, especially when you're violating somebody's constitutional rights, Carter.
Page's constitutional rights, President Trump's Constitutional rights.
The law enforcers were actively the law breakers in this particular case.
They were so determined to frame Donald Trump for crimes he didn't commit that they themselves, the top uh DOJ and FBI officials engaged in corrupt acts that are crimes.
And the irony, of course, is that Mueller is investigating Donald Trump for nothing when in fact he should be investigating the original investigators who broke the law with impunity.
That's called investigating the investigators, a term we used almost from the beginning.
All right, both of you stay there.
Uh Greg Jarrett, Sarah Carter.
Uh we'll have a lot more on Hannity tonight, nine Eastern.
All right, as we continue with uh Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett, all right we don't have a lot of time here.
What do we know about 302s that show that Steele kept feeding the FBI allegations after he was fired, after Trump won.
Uh Sarah.
Well, what we know is that this is one of the biggest things that Congress has been beating over to try to get the 302s, the interviews with uh Bruce Orr.
And that is the most that is gonna reveal the most important and most pertinent information would be all of those 302s.
They would contain all the interviews with Bruce Orr, how he got the information, particularly on from Christopher Steele, how that was passed over to the FBI, to the Bureau, and how he moved it.
What we do know is that, and this was thankfully uh Devin Nunes had it in his Russia report.
If you go back to that and read that again, it's even more true today than it was then, now that all this information has come out.
The fact that Christopher Steele himself was adamant about not having, about not having President Trump win this election was very telling.
And I think that the 302s will be very revolutionary as far as like.
This is really about to explode wide open yet again.
And it gets deeper and deeper every time.
I'm just out of time, though.
Greg, again, congrats.
Two weeks in a row.
New York Times bestseller list.
Sarah, we'll see you tonight with your breaking news.
John Solomon tonight.
Much more.
9 Eastern on Fox.
We'll take a quick break.
We'll come back and we will continue.
And the person that the president says is the rising star of the GOP.
Next.
Stabenow's numbers are plummeting because she's associated with resistance.
Debbie Stabenow cares more about resistance than results.
She cares more about obstruction than economic opportunity.
And having someone like me who gets results from the battlefield to the boardroom.
I'm a combat veteran who got the results of bringing all my aircraft and all my men back home safely.
I'm a business leader who got the results of growing my company from $35 million to $137 million and improving the economic situations of over 100 families in Michigan and eastern Mississippi.
Debbie Stabenow votes with Chuck Schumer 95% of the time.
And there are people home in the state of Michigan who are wondering if their lives are going to get any better by having somebody who's obstructing the president and not bringing opportunities back home.
How important was the president's support in your victory?
The president's support was amazing.
It was icing on the cake.
The people of the state of Michigan came out.
But the president really took a leading effort in getting the word out, helping us get the vote out.
And I'm grateful for the president's endorsement and also Vice President Pence, who I'm actually going to be running into in Grand Rapids.
All right.
That was the big winner in Tuesday night's Friday night.
Uh primary in Michigan.
Uh, and that is uh soon to be Senator John James, hopefully for a lot of people's sake.
Uh the president tweeted out congratulations, future star, the Republican Party, future Senator John James, a big and a bold victory tonight in the great state of Michigan and the first of many.
November cannot come fast enough.
Now, as you just heard, he has a military background, he has a business background, he's created jobs, he served his country.
And uh anyway, he joins us now as we now are only 89 days from what I am calling the single most important midterm election in our lifetime.
Uh and John James joins us now.
Sir, how are you?
Congratulations on your big victory on Tuesday night.
I'm doing I'm doing wonderfully well.
Thanks for having me on, but I got to get off the glory to God.
We worked hard, we prayed hard, and the president came through for us.
And uh we're gonna make sure that we come through for Michigan, it's for the American people when it gets to the Senate uh next year.
You know, I look at your background and I'm I'm extraordinarily impressed.
And uh I've had people, you know, getting in my ear say you gotta look at John James, he's a rock star.
Uh the president obviously getting behind your corner.
And I I look at you, you're a veteran, you're a businessman, you're pro-second amendment.
Uh you're a pro-business conservative.
We see the benefits under the president's economic plans.
We've had a dramatic economic turnaround in the country.
And uh tell us a little bit about who you are, where you served, what you did.
I know you were part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and I know you earned a combat action badge and two uh air medals uh among uh other awards.
I know you logged in almost 800 hours uh in theater flying, uh leading two Apache platoons.
What can you tell us?
Well, uh I can tell you that I'm no star, Sean.
I I'm just a servant.
Uh I left uh my home when I was 17 years old, enlisted in the Army for a year, uh, went to West Point and graduated in 2004.
Uh as you mentioned, I became a ranger qualified Apache pilot and blew 750 hours uh combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
But I actually one of the things that I saw over there that disturbed me the most uh on top of being in combat was the fact that during the Great Recession uh ten years ago, I came back to the dining facility and I was watching uh uh news on the armed forces networks, and and they were showing uh shots back home, Flint, Detroit, Saginaw, areas of my home, Michigan, that looked worse than the combat zone I was flying in.
And that that really kind of threw me for a loop because I'm over fighting for Iraqi freedom, and I didn't feel like there were enough folks back here fighting for Michiganers.
And so uh I got out of the military and uh and joined my family business as you also mentioned.
Um but it's a it's a logistics company, automotive logistics company headquartered in Detroit.
And I took uh the the leadership lessons that I learned at West Point, uh, the leadership lessons that I learned in the Army, and I was able to get results in the business world because I made no excuses.
I recognize that leaders eat last.
And I uh I also recognize that uh mission first people always, and I was able to help grow my family business from 35 million to 137 million in a little bit less than five years.
Uh, I believe that uh as your lead in uh alluded to, having somebody who recognizes uh that we need uh getting results uh from Washington from our elected leaders, uh understanding what it takes uh signing the front and the back of a check, uh, understanding that we need more servant leaders in Washington who understand what it's like to be a veteran uh as the world becomes more and more dangerous place, who understands what it's like to put our own capital at risk uh and create economic opportunity, not just obstruction.
That's what we need on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
I'm honored uh for the opportunity to continue my servant leadership, and uh and i it'll be exciting.
Uh you have your background in the military.
I know you served eight years, by the way, that you serve this great country of ours, and you got all of these distinctions and awards, and and you can't minimize those because every one of those hours, nearly eight hundred of them in theater, was a risk to your life, and we can't thank you enough for your for your service to your country.
Uh I'm very angry how we fight wars now, and that is that you know, we start out, we're all gung ho, uh Vietnam, we lose fifty-eight thousand guys, we lose fifty, five hundred Iraq, Afghanistan.
Many get their legs and their arms blown off and and literally they're they're disfigured for the rest of their lives, and then we say, Never mind because the war becomes politicized.
We cannot do this to the military anymore, sir.
We can't do this.
It is morally reprehensible to me that if we're gonna send these brave men and women like yourself into theater and then say, never mind because it's politically expedient at that moment to pull out and not win the war.
Why are we starting it?
You know, um i i it's classic by having career politicians in a position where they're making decisions that are send gonna send our boys and girls off in a harm's way.
Uh, we need to have more combat veterans there who understand what what that exactly means.
You know, we're really good.
We're really good at creating veterans in this country, but we're not so good at taking care of them.
And that's gonna be one of my very first priorities when I get to the United States Senate to make sure I support our president's agenda, making sure um that we uh support our veterans.
Uh that's a very that's one of the highest priorities for me.
But uh my opponent, Senator Stabenow is using veterans as a prop.
Right now, she's going around talking about round tables, and she's talking about improving wait times at the VA when she's been an elected official for 43 years and she's been in Washington for 20, and all she's done is pass five bills renaming buildings.
If she really cared about veterans and anything other than election year, she would have done something when we've been at war for the past fifteen years and been elected official for 43.
She doesn't care about veterans.
She cares about getting elected.
But I care about veterans because I am one.
We still have to address the veteran suicide rate.
22 for day under the people.
We have a quarter of a million guys with PTSD.
Yeah, you're right.
And and I can't tell you how many times people have called me.
They know somebody in trouble.
And I and I literally, Ollie North gets on the phone with these guys and and he is spectacular.
He has personally saved people's lives.
We're not doing enough.
We're absolutely not doing enough.
And that's the thing.
Um our veterans deserve more than than going off and putting their lives on the line and then coming back and being forgotten and abused.
Uh I I believe it's morally reprehensible.
We owe our veterans better.
And the best thing we can do is make sure that we have folks uh uh out there to make sure that they have the funding, they have the support, uh, both when they go and when they come home.
The toughest battle that our veterans face should not be when they get off the battlefield, and I will make it I will be duty bound to make sure that I continue my service to our veterans.
I consider my eight and a half years just a down payment on the freedom that I enjoy as an American citizen, and I will spend the rest of my years making sure that veterans have the benefits and the support that they deserve and have earned.
Listen, and unless it's gonna hurt you, I would love to endorse your your candidacy.
Uh I am I am so impressed with your life and your background and the things that you're saying.
Um and what's even more interesting is that after your service to your country, uh you worked in the family business.
It's called the Dr. James Group International, I believe, and you're the president of this this company, and you have led the company from thirty-five million to a hundred and thirty-seven million dollars in revenue.
You've created uh over a hundred additional jobs in Michigan and around the country, other jobs.
Uh last time I was in Detroit, I've got to be honest, sir, it broke my heart.
One of America's great cities.
I mean, you have neighborhood after neighborhood after neighborhood just empty.
And and they're bulldozing those neighborhoods and can dollar consolidating services.
And it's like, well, the the manufacturing jobs that Obama said are never coming back, they're now coming back.
I want them to go to Detroit and cities like it.
Well, you know, that's one of the biggest reasons I came back.
Uh the Democrat model relies on victimhood.
Uh, it relies on the government being the solution and the provider.
And Michigan has a has a rich heritage of folks who who embrace capitalism and and who embrace the American dream.
Michigan is the birthplace of the middle class.
It's the home of the American dream.
It's the place that people emigrated to from all over the world and from all over the country.
People like my dad, who came up from the Jim Crow South, born in 1941 in Starple, Mississippi, and couldn't go there because he was black, but he refused to accept dependency as his destiny.
He served his country honorably in Vietnam, and then he came to Detroit for that opportunity working in the in the automotive industry.
He started a trucking company with one truck, one trailer, and no excuses.
And he was able to hand his son a $35 million company that I then grew into a thirty one hundred and thirty-seven million dollar company, and now knocking on the door of the U.S. Senate.
That is only possible in this great nation of ours.
We need to have somebody who understands uh what that takes to grow a business and bring Detroit, bring Michigan back to economic greatness.
And if you like to learn more, please go to John James Course Senate.com, follow me on Facebook and Twitter at John James M.I. You know, I I I want to say this.
I mean, I love everything that you're you're saying.
We know that Michigan can elect Republicans statewide, but it's not easy in Mr. Michigan.
Um Debbie Stabenow, I I I can't she supported the entire Obama agenda.
We had 13 million more of our fellow Americans on food stamps, eight million more in poverty.
We had the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s, worst recovery since the 40s, lowest home ownership rate in 51 years, and he accumulated more debt than every other president before him combined.
Now fast forward.
We have the the largest labor participation rate that we've ever had.
Four million new jobs, three million fewer people on food stamps.
You see what the president's done with tax cuts and how it's helping working men and women in this country and families in this country.
You see what getting rid of burdensome regulation has done.
The per president personally lobbying for for companies uh to build their factories and manufacturing centers here in nearly a a million new manufacturing jobs that Obama said were never coming back.
Um how do we sp particularly help your great state of Michigan?
Well, I I love I love how uh uh how you brought that up.
Uh Don Lemon uh mentioned a couple days ago on my election night that Donald Trump uses race to a divide America when you take a look uh by the numbers, the unemployment rate amongst minorities is is at his uh at his lowest in decades.
You're taking a look at the fact that among uh African Americans, particularly in Detroit, uh Donald Trump's numbers have gone up and he's now at twenty-nine percent and growing because people don't care about what the pundits uh in New York say.
They care about their quality of life.
Well, now slow down here.
Um I I happen to live in this this city and pay these ridiculous taxes because my job mandates it.
It's not by choice, I promise you.
Well, I I you might be one of the exceptions, but what do you mean I might be one of the exceptions?
I am the exception.
You are the exception.
Well, you know better than anyone that uh that there is a massive uh uh lack of objectivity in the in the liberal progressive media that we refuses to give our president the credit uh for reviving our economy.
See, I'm old enough to remember a couple of years ago when the previous administration said we just needed to accept two percent growth, where our president said that three percent is table stakes.
Our president said we are gonna take the shackles off of American industry, and we are going to allow access to the American dream for everyone, regardless of what you look like.
And so it's not about um black and white, left and right, it's about red, white, and blue, and making sure that we have economic mobility for everybody to enjoy, moving plants back in from Mexico rather than sending them out, saying that manufacturing is going to be at the center of Michigan, and that uh you know what?
President Donald Trump is rough belt Robin Hood.
He's the one who came back and said, and that's why people, regardless of race, are saying, you know what, somebody who cares about us cares about putting money back in the in the hands of people who've earned it.
That's what people truly care about because there's growing economic insecurity in in our state.
And regardless of what you look like, people just want to be able to take care of their kids and take care of uh putting food on the table.
And that's what I'm gonna have to care about.
Got to take a break.
We'll come back now with Republican senatorial candidate, amazing uh life story.
John James is with us, 800-941 Shawn a toll free telephone number.
All right, as we continue with John James, he is the Republican senatorial candidate, extraordinary background uh as it relates to serving our country and his business background is incredible.
Uh and now he's taking on Debbie Stabenow in uh Michigan.
What a rock star he is for the future of the Republican Party.
We hope he can win.
And the president first congratulated him on his win as the candidate for the Senate in Michigan uh and literally said that you are a star of the Republican Party in a future senator.
I'm gonna tell you something, and and I I only watched you from a distance, haven't talked to you before that I remember.
And here's the thing I want to say.
I have never interviewed a politician or somebody getting into the political world that has as much has impressed me as much as you have.
Debbie Stabenow, for whatever reason, she supported every failed policy that has hurt Michigan.
And now she's not supporting the policies that are helping Michigan.
I hope the people of Michigan understand this is about their lives, their families, their future.
And uh I honestly think that uh you have an amazing future.
I I love everything you've been saying here today.
And uh I wish you all the best in the election.
We'll have you on television if you'd like to come, and you're welcome on these airwaves anytime you want.
Well, uh, Sean, you offered your endorsement earlier, and I would be honored if you would extend that.
Uh you are a patriot, sir, and uh and I'm looking forward to being on your show.
All right.
Good to talk to you, my friend.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Take care.
All right, news roundup information overload hour, Sean Hannity Show.
All right, so fake news conspiracy TV uh over at uh NBC News.
Uh bet Tom Brokaw is so proud of his cable news network, which is not news at all, it's just a bunch of political hacks.
They think they got Devin Nunes.
They they think this is it for Devin Nunes.
This is the big smoking gun.
Let's play what they think is a big smoking gun.
What puts us in such a tough spot, if Sessions won't unrefuse and Mueller won't clear the president...
We're the only one.
Which is really the danger.
That's why I think you're saying it, by the way.
I mean, we have to keep all these.
We have to keep the majority.
If we do not keep the majority, all of this goes away.
They know it's ridiculous to talk to the president for Russian justice.
But if they tell them why often enough, and they put it out there, and they say, oh, we're looking at the tweets.
You know, you got a mixed act of the tweets, right?
Like sometimes we love the president's tweets, sometimes we fringe on the president's weeks.
But they're trying to make a political.
This is all political is why that's where we're running in the New York Times on our tweets.
Now, if somebody thinks that that might be campaign is colluding with the Chinese uname country, hey, it couldn't happen.
It would be a very bad thing.
Just because my Portuguese.
So Catholics getting secret information for the Portuguese.
Yeah, well, maybe it may not be a reason.
But ultimately, if that's a Portuguese defense rough person stole an email, she decided it's police ago.
Okay, now we have a front, right?
Now, let me tell you what Devin Nunes, it's a little difficult to hear.
If Muller, who we know is abusively biased, if Muller won't do his job, and that is he's involved in the witch hunt, he doesn't care that Adam Schiffla Schiff uh is on tape colluding and conspiring with Russians to get Donald Trump.
We got the tape.
If he's not gonna act on the killery bought and paid for phony Russian dossier that was literally spread to misinform the American people with what they knew were lies, and then used to lie to four Pfizer court judges.
If he's not gonna do his job, yeah, Congress needs to do their job.
We have separation of powers, co-equal branches of government.
And Nuna is saying that, yeah, if Mueller doesn't do his job, we are the people that will do our jobs.
And then he's saying that, yeah, okay, well, sometimes Trump's tweets make us cringe because Trump just speaks his mind, is iconoclastic, and he fights back.
That's a good thing.
I think the American people now respect Donald Trump for who he is.
It's criminal for one candidate to release stolen emails on another, and then on impeaching Rod Rosenstein.
Rod Rosenstein has been ignoring congressional subpoenas, purposefully obstructing.
Here's the point.
You have the craziest lunatics over at fake news CNN, conspiracy TV, MSNBC.
Let me just play some of the low lights, highlights of guys like what's the guy that's name at 8 o'clock, uh, Chris Hayes.
All right, and Matow.
Okay.
Let's play some of and the media doesn't care.
You can be a total conspiracy nut job.
You know, Chris Hayes suggesting we might have a president that is a Russian agent.
By the way, they call that news.
Tom Brokaw.
Just listen, I bet you're really proud of the brand you spent your lifetime working on.
Does Russia have some kind of leverage over Donald Trump?
And a new cover story from New York magazine, writer Jonathan Chate argues we have not allowed ourselves to consider the full range of possibilities.
Kate lays out what could be considered the worst case scenario for Trump Russia collusion.
But Donald Trump has been a Russian intelligence asset since 1987.
1987 is when he he went to Moscow and he's fed by the Russians in towards Moscow, and then he comes back, then he starts talking about running for president for the first time, and then he starts talking for the first time about how our allies are a bunch of freeloaders and we should kick him to the curve.
So it really dovetails with Russian foreign policy interest then and now.
Now, again, that's probably a coincidence, but it might it might not be.
And at the same time, we're oddly influential with the guy who wants to kill us.
Can you imagine in any other presidential administration?
The news breaking that the White House council was notified weeks in advance that a national security advisor candidate was under federal investigation, and the White House then went ahead and made the hire.
That would be a bigger scandal than almost anything we've ever seen in any other presidential administration.
And having been involved in a lot of different liberal groups over time, as somebody who's left directly to the left of Mao.
We have never thought of ourselves as a country where like Uday and Kuse get to be ministers of whatever they want, right?
We don't think of ourselves as a ruling family kind of place, but now now that's what we are.
Let's compare the Trump kids to Uday and Kuse.
You know, Saddam Hussein's kids.
Oh, and let's suggest we don't have a Russian agent, the press president.
And don't forget the big announcement of the Trump tax.
Got it right here.
Forty-five minute bill.
Oh, Trump paid his fair share of taxes.
But I got it.
He paid however many millions and millions of dollars.
We got it.
Yeah.
And oh, and Trump, notice the words, wants to kill us.
The press wants to kill us.
Okay.
Self-described as left of Mao.
Okay.
General Flynn, the biggest scandal in presidential history.
And it just goes on.
And we have so much more we could play.
And this is now obviously they don't know what the Constitution is about over there.
They don't understand checks and balances.
They don't understand the concept of separation of powers.
They don't seem to understand that when you rig an investigation, right, an exoneration before an investigation.
Oh, and then by the way, you're you're pushing a phony Russian propaganda dossier on the American people to lie to them and manipulate their votes in the lead up to the election.
And you don't verify it or corroborate it.
And you don't tell the Pfizer court that it's not verified or corroborated.
Then you don't tell the courts that, oh, yeah, one other little it'sy bitsy detail, Hillary paid for the thing, because you want the the entree into the Trump campaign in their email system, uh, so you could literally destroy then candidate Trump, and then that doesn't work out.
And we now know the same people like you know, Orr and Steele, and uh even them wanting to get to the special counsel to feed him more lies, even though Steele admits that he's never verified his own dossier that Hillary paid for.
You can't make this stuff up.
And it's all happening in America, but you won't hear about it.
This is what fake news is.
This is what lying news is.
This is what conspiracy TV is.
And the left, they get all jacked up, hyped up because Devin Nunes is demanding proof and documents as part of our checks and balances system.
Devin Nunes, it is his job, his role.
It's Congress's role.
It's called oversight.
And they are finding the biggest abuse of power scandal in our history.
And as Rod Rosenstein, well, he's just not listening to subpoenas.
Kind of like Hillary, who obstructs justice, the leading subpoena emails using BleachBit to clean up that hard drive and busting up those devices.
Good luck to anybody that's listening to this program that ever tried that on their own.
Anyway, joining us now, news roundup information overload hour.
Jonathan Gillam, author of the bestseller Sheep No More, Danielle McLaughlin, attorney constitutional uh expert.
Uh welcome both of you.
And uh all right, why don't you get your little nicety out of the way, Danielle?
I know you try and sound so pleasant so that when I ask you the first question, you're not gonna answer it.
But go ahead.
It's so great to be here.
How are you doing, Sean?
How are you doing, Jonathan?
Um always wonderful to join you on a Thursday.
It is so d is so disarming when you do this, but that's okay.
Now do you think I don't agree with you on anything, but I genuinely like you.
How about that?
Well, I like you too.
I mean, but I think your views are absolutely off the charts nuts.
Um, actually, I might agree with you on something.
Listening to that incredible lead-in, it's impossible to respond to anything, but I do think this type of newness is a nothing burger.
It's not only a nothing, it's not only a nothing burger.
I mean, it is their job to do oversight, and you have to admit as a constitutional attorney that Congress has a constitutional role.
It's their job to perform oversight, and when they send out subpoenas, and the subpoenas are not adhered to, if anybody in America tried to do what Rod Rosenstein and the DOJ is doing, you and I both know they'd end up in jail.
Sure, and and you're absolutely right, and I do believe in separation of powers.
I think it cuts both ways here.
You know, number one, Rod Rosenstein and his uh his folks have turned over about 800,000 documents so far.
Uh they're not sitting on their hands.
Uh, he's testifying under oath that they are doing everything they can to r to s to respond to Nunes and others.
I think people are concerned about what uh what Nunes said in this tape, because of course Congress's job is to keep the executives in check and to make sure that that they are exercising their uh I guess uh their own powers in an equal way.
We have three equal branches of government.
I will say that the things he said on the tape are basic politicking, and I would have expected the same thing to be said by Democrats.
Uh this is their president, uh Nunes obviously supports him.
Uh his Congress and Cork has support him.
Um I don't think this is any great conspiracy.
Uh I also believe it's against law to tape somebody in Washington, and that's a problem, obviously.
All right, let's go to Jonathan.
I mean, uh you know, the way they act, you uh you would think that this is a Watergate tape, but this is what they do every day.
They don't report to the American people the abuse of power, the abuse of power at the highest levels of the DOJ and the FBI.
Now we see that you know Bruce Orr, Christopher Steele were trying to not only not only derail the Trump candidacy, but when that failed, then they were trying, you know, to get phony lying information that Hillary paid for into the hands of Robert Mueller.
That's how deep this now goes.
That's how deep it's gone.
That's the thing, Sean.
You gotta remember is as we learn things about this and through this investigation, or whatever you want to call it.
The reality is we're seeing we're peering into things that have been going on forever.
That's important for people to remember.
Because when we look at um what is happening now in the media and the montage that you played there at the beginning, the reality, Sean, is that, and Daniel, please pay c close attention to this.
The reality is that they are probably I would I would uh hypothesize, and I said this last week, right?
In media matters, you know how they always jump in and do stuff.
I said that that um the majority of these things that they're talking about are bought and paid for by the DNC.
Not not the Republican Party, not Donald Trump.
It's the DNC that has their hands in with the Russians.
It's the DNC that was colluding with uh an operative to write a fake dossier.
It was the DNC that was doing all these things to get a Pfizer against them, a man that was going to become president and defeat the establishment person, Hillary Clinton, that they assumed was going to win.
And when we look at what is unfolding, we were able to look at the family tree of this leftist movement, not just in the United States, but globally.
It's not just the the American media, the global media is doing the same thing.
Sean, there's a family tree of leftists in this country.
They finance it, they are activists, quote unquote community activists, whatever that is, because I never see them cleaning up the inner city or or re-establishing the family unit.
They are the media personnel that uh spew lies, and then when you tell the truth, they go after you and try to ruin you.
Uh it it it goes on and on into politicians, and what you see is this well oiled machine that is doing its best to spin something up to ruin this president.
Now they're at first they were trying to do it immediately to get him impeached, now they're looking at the long term, and that's exactly what you see.
I think Nunez is a great American.
Listen, I gotta tell you, he's shown great courage.
He's brought us the truth, and he's doing his constitutional duty, and he's getting, you know, the same liberal crap that everybody gets that tries to tell the truth.
We'll take a break more with Danielle and Jonathan on the other side as we continue on the Sean Hannity Show.
And as we continue, Danielle McLaughlin and Jonathan Gillum, news roundup information overload hour.
Uh I guess at the end of the day, you don't seem to care all that much that a Russian dossier was paid for by Hillary Clinton.
Not only was it designed to lie to the American people and affect the outcome of an election, and that Bernie Sanders had a primary stolen, and that a Pfizer court was lied to you don't have a problem with the Pfizer court being purposely misinformed.
Number one, the Pfizer court knew that this was opposition research.
No, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, you're not being you're not no, no, no.
The Pfizer court was not told that Hillary Clinton paid for this op Research on Trump.
They said in an addendum that there are at the end of the document, it may have a slight political taint to it.
That's all.
Now that's a big difference from telling the Pfizer judges the truth is that Hillary paid for this.
And not telling the Pfizer court judge, oh, we never verified this on our own.
Look, number one, it was a page full of explanations about the source.
She was not named because that would be unmasking, and that is not a good one.
It's not unmasking anybody because we're not talking about surveillance here.
She paid for it.
Number one.
Number two, Carter Page's Pfizer Warrant started a month after he left the Trump campaign.
It doesn't matter.
Emails and everything else, because it goes back to in perpetuity.
And how do you get how do you get to present to a judge, a Pfizer judge in particular, and a Pfizer court information you have not verified that we now know has been debunked.
Well, we don't know it's things like number one, and number two, and either you and the case.
If all the if they had evidence of Hooker's urinating on Donald Trump's bed in the writs in Moscow, we would have known by now.
Maybe, but maybe Ma's doing a good job in keeping that under episode.
I don't think anybody really cares about that.
The last thing I'll say.
That's the st that's a b that's part of the crap that's in there.
It was not used to lie to the American people because it was used to lie to the American people.
They never verified it.
And under oath, Christopher Steele disowned his own dossier.
Oh my god.
They all knew about it before the election, which is my point.
I'm Jonathan's gonna hate me because we're out of time.
But I love you both.
Jonathan, cheap no more.
New York Times bestseller, Danielle.
My blood pressure's up.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
We are getting closer to being able to confirm that we have a huge development tonight on Deep State Gate that we will be breaking nine Eastern on Hannity on the Fox News channel.
Uh so we hope you'll tune in.
All right, as promised, let's get to our busy phones and we'll say hi to Trisha.
She's in Texas.
Trisha, hi, how are you?
Welcome to the program.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
Thank you for everything you sacrifice on behalf of this nation.
Uh that can't be unconscious.
Listen, compared to others, I'm I'm we're spokes in the wheel.
We gotta remember that, Tricia.
Everybody goes out and vote, we win.
Everybody that's a big spoke.
If everybody could just vote.
Amen.
Hey, Sean, I wanted to uh discuss Bruce Orr with you for a moment, if I could.
Yeah.
Um I spent forty years in the executive branch.
Please don't hate me for that.
No, why would I hate you?
You're serving your country.
There are good people in government.
There are.
There are a lot.
I spent uh 20 years specifically in government ethics.
Um what Bruce Orr has done with respect to um fusion GPS and the dossier and steel is an absolute violation of a criminal conflict of interest law.
And punishable by five years in prison for each offense, $50,000 fine.
The facts are just right there for any prosecutor to pick up and take.
Um justice will not take the reins on that as a general rule.
The U.S. attorneys will run with a case like that.
But effectively, as federal employees, we cannot work on any matter that we have a financial interest in.
And our spouse's employment is a financial interest for us.
Absolute conflict.
Well, I gotta be honest, you're right.
You have high ethical standards.
There are many people in government that do.
But there are other people, it is so obvious, so transparent what has gone on here that I you know it it kind of is a little shocking to the conscience that they refuse to do their job.
And I gotta tell you, it's um, you know, it this is now what has become a real crisis tipping point for the country because if we don't have an equal, if we don't have equal justice under the law and equal application of the law, then we're all in deep trouble.
Because that means you've got the state now favoring some over others, using the power of the state to go after some because of their political views.
It's it's even beyond criminalizing political differences.
You know, say what you will about the Manafort trial.
And whatever the verdict ends up being, because remember, ninety-five percent of these federal cases end up in in guilty verdicts.
Uh just the way the federal system works.
But they dug this case out of mothballs because they wanted to put the screws to Manafort.
It has nothing to do with collusion, Russia, the campaign, Donald Trump.
It's a 2005 case.
And then they a guy that's going to get over a hundred years in jail for the embezzlement for the corruption, for the tax fraud, uh, for the lifestyle, the cheating, and everything else.
He's going to get a 100 years in jail.
And then they say, no, you just talk about that guy, and we'll give you a get out of jail free card.
That's not justice in America, because anybody under those circumstances probably would blame their mother for whatever they're being accused of to get out of jail.
Because remember, you're not talking about honest ethical people here.
So he admits to all these felonies, all these crimes, all this embezzlement, all this stealing, all this corruption, you know, and then he okay.
You're you're facing a hundred years in jail unless you say this about this guy.
That's uh, you know, it's like Sammy the Bull.
19 murders, you get to go free.
We'll give you a new house in Arizona, witness protection program, new life, but just we need you to testify against him.
Forget about putting you in jail for the 19 murders you're committed.
It is a it's basically bribery.
You're bribing one person to say what you want them to say, because in this case they want Manafort to sing or compose so they can prosecute or impeach Trump.
It's sick.
This, you know, we are on the verge of real trouble emerging in America and chaos ensuing, and a real true, clear and present danger to our constitutional republic.
And the fact that few liberals have the courage to stand up for what's right is even more frightening.
Because for them, it's all about politics.
Criminalizing political differences is meaningless to them.
Rogue prosecutors, meaningless to them.
Kind of scary.
Trisha, you know you've been there.
Uh, thank you.
Mike in Santa Barbara, California, my old stomping grounds.
What's going on, Mike?
How are you?
Uh I'm fine, thanks.
Uh uh, son.
If you go to the end of Chipala Street, I forget the number.
It was many years ago.
The last building on the left, right at the end of Chipala.
Then if you make a left and a right, you're right at uh Chubby's hamburger place, which was delicious.
But I'm in, I was in that last building at the end of Chipala Street.
That's where I used to live.
Ah, all right.
All right.
Well, they're still in town, and uh they're still doing great business.
Oh listen, I when I was there, I think a you know, cheeseburger, one of their burgers and uh coke and a French fries, like 350.
I don't know what it costs today.
It's a little more.
Yeah, it's about it's about four, but it's still pretty good.
That's it.
So yeah, about 450, something in that neighborhood.
Yeah, it's probably closer to six, but that's all right.
What's going on?
Oh, well, um, you know, as sharp as you and a lot of your guests are, I think you're completely missing the vote on the dossier.
Because they thought Hillary and her team thought they were gonna win that election in a landslide going away.
They didn't need the dossier for the election.
Or you're gonna be able to do that.
I disagree from being they were using that dossier.
Listen, you're in an election.
You know that things can change.
They were using it to literally lie to the American people to steal as many votes as they can and and rig it in their favor.
You know, the Clintons, they have a history of that.
Yes, but I think the actual purpose of it was that they did not like Trump saying lock her up all the time.
And they knew they were gonna win, and they were setting the thing up so that when they won, they were going to arrest Trump, and nobody would know.
I don't doubt that there's a possibility that they were thinking that deeply because they were overly confident, but uh at the end of the day, you know, when Trump said, Ah, I don't feel like going after the Clinton, let's just move on, and he was trying to be gracious.
I think he regrets that moment now, I would bet, now knowing what we know.
But yeah, they listen.
listen, just ask Bernie Sanders how honest the Clintons are.
Except he doesn't have the courage to even tell you the truth.
That's true.
That's true.
All right, my friend, thank you.
Uh back to the phones.
Ron is in Oklahoma, Wagner, Oklahoma.
How are you, sir?
Sean Annity, you're a great American.
Uh you're a great American, sir.
What's going on?
If you would indulge me, I'd like to make two comments.
Uh I picture this whole Russian debacle uh as being a wheel, and all these various actors uh represent the spokes.
But I keep seeing the Pfizer courts as the hub.
And I'm wondering uh if you could use your considerable influence to perhaps subpoena these judges, bring them in, put them under oath.
Perhaps we'll find out whether or not they were just poor lied to judges, or if they are in fact part of the swamp.
Well, I other the Pfizer judges, I don't know.
I mean every judge that I've ever known has a real sense of confidence about them.
And judges I know, and they just listen, they've earned they earn that respect.
They've been a law school, they know the law, they got a very important position.
Judges that I've met, they expect to be called your honor.
They expect, yes, ma'am, no, ma'am, yes, your honor, no your honor, yes, sir, no, sir.
Uh and they deserve the respect.
And if you don't give it to them, let me tell you something.
You make it a d you it's like when a cop pulls you over.
I didn't do anything.
What are you doing?
Good luck with that.
Instead of saying fall on your sword, and the first thing I always say is, uh, I'm so sorry.
I I wasn't paying attention.
I apologize.
I'm wrong.
You're right.
I'm sorry, sir.
That's it.
And if I happen to be carrying my firearm, which I'm legally allowed to carry, I will put my hands outside the window.
And literally, so on the outside, way outside, and when the policeman comes out, I will say I have a firearm in the car or on my waist and give them fair warning and keep my hands out.
I just give them the maximum respect.
And and first of all, I do respect them.
I mean, it's not it's it's not contrived, it's real.
I love cops.
I respect police officers.
My whole family was in law enforcement.
You know, so I don't think these judges like being lied to, but they're not in a position yet where they can talk.
Things don't like work the way they're supposed to a lot of times.
And so uh I think that they really need to be interviewed under oath.
My second point, sir, if you'll I agree with you.
Yes, sir, go right ahead.
I I want to encourage all American loving conservatives, Republicans, patriots, to stop for a second and realize just how important these midterm elections are.
We could lose everything that we have lived for these last 18 months or two years.
We got a man in the office who can do the job.
Let's not forsake him and let's get off the couches and get out there and put the right people in office.
And I call for all the fellow combat veterans out there and tell them this mission has just started.
There's still a long way to go, and there's battles to be won.
Listen, you know, I love what you're saying.
You're obviously a great patriot who loves this country.
And this is what I want to say to everybody.
Look, I'm gonna be honest, people give me, you know, too much praise and credit.
I don't want praise and credit.
I'm just telling everybody, we're all spokes in a wheel.
And those of us that see that that do see what's happening, whatever part you can play, you're gonna you're gonna be a spoke in that wheel.
I'm one spoke.
And you know, if you're all if if you just say I'm gonna vote this midterm to stop these people from rolling back the tax cuts, keeping Obamacare, firing ice and open borders, and impeaching Trump and ending these deep state investigations, you are helping on a dramatic level.
Don't diminish how important that will be.
Appreciate the call.
800 941 Sean.
All right, let's go to Lucy in McKinney, Texas.
Lucy, you got about a minute.
Go ahead.
It's all yours.
Hey, Sean, I have a very quick little thing.
I just wanted to say I've been enjoying listening to your uh, you know, playing the the stuff about Adam Schiff and the Russian DJs.
That's been hilarious, and it has inspired me to come up with my own little funny thing for you.
So I figured out the problem with the Democrat Party is that it's full of shifts.
Yeah.
No, it is on live radio and TV to say shiftless shifts And then I'll say five times in a row, and I'm I'm even shocked.
I don't even mess it up.
But it's got one day I'm gonna mess it up.
Uh you know what?
I think what you're saying is true.
I think we need to play this more often.
Let me play it now.
Thank you for reminding me.
I think you're right, they're full of shifts.
But this is him gleefully talking or Russian about naked pictures of Trump.
And uh we also know who was a mediator between Trump and Russian government, who met with uh ex-advisor of Trump, uh Mr. Flynn.
It was the Russian singer, very famous singer, Arkady Kupnik, who met with uh Mr. Flynn on uh Brighton Beach in Brooklyn in a special uh Russian cafe, Langeron.
What's the name of the cafe?
Uh Langeron.
Langeron?
Yes, it's an or the Brighton Beach.
Okay.
And it's a special right.
It's a Russian district in uh Brooklyn.
And do you know what was discussed?
They discussed many things, but the most interesting thing is they use a special they use a special password uh before before their meetings.
When they met each other, they said weather is good on Deribasovskya.
Weather is good.
And where weather is good on Jeribasovsky.
There is a name of uh street in Odessa.
Did you did you hear?
Yes, I did.
Uh so it's a street in Odessa.
Uh the code word is weather is good on Zerobasta.
Deribasovskaya.
Skya, okay.
And I'll have my staff follow up to get spellings and and more details on Yes.
And and the second part of their best word was uh it rains again on Brighton Beach.
It rains again on Brighton Beach.
Yes.
On that meeting, Ukupnik told Flynn that uh all those compromising materials will never release if uh Trump will cancel all Russian sanctions.
Okay.
Um well obviously we would uh welcome a chance to get copies of those recordings.
Um so we will try to work with the FBI to figure out uh along with your staff how we can obtain copies of those.
This is uh very helpful.
I appreciate it.
Anything else you wanted to uh to add today?
Well, I hope that my information will be useful for you and your committee, and I also would like to advise you when you or your colleagues will meet Mr. Trump.
I advise you to tell him uh first part of the password on the weather is good on Zerybasovsky, and look how his uh face will change the color.
Colluding and conspiring.
As we get even new information, this is pretty blockbuster, and uh we'll be checking in with John Solomon, Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett, Joe DeGenova, the great one, Mark Levin, and much more.
Hannity, set you DBR, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
