If you want to be a part of the program, Carter Page with all the revelations this week that Carter Page was leaked on repeatedly in a coordinated effort by both the FBI, the DOJ.
Can also add to that, I would argue the director of national intelligence and the CIA under Barack Obama.
Uh, he is going to respond to the varying release of information that we have been literally clipping away at all week.
And we now see a major crack in this liberal wall.
I'm telling you what is happening.
There's something massive that that is occurring.
I can't put my finger on it totally, but I'm beginning to see something emerge, which is that we have won the day in terms of exposing all of the deep state, all of their corruption, the stench, the puke, the law breaking, the abuse of power, and it's now so loud and it's so overwhelming with evidence that's incontrovertible.
Something the that the special counsel's office never got about Trump Russia collusion.
I'll get to the Manafort issue in a in a minute today that he made a deal.
By the way, he's not cooperating, and I've confirmed it now with three separate people.
He's not cooperating with anything to do with the campaign.
Anything to do with Russia, anything to do with collusion of any kind.
And if you just take the time and read it, which I'll explain to you in a minute, you'll understand what I mean.
But we have now been able to peel off enough layers of the onion, and we still have more to peel, but with the pending release and declassification by the president of information that would include FISA warrants that have been redacted, they would be unredacted and released to the public.
302s as it relates to Bruce Orr and Christopher Steele, which would be very revealing.
And the gang of eight materials that had not been released.
Remember, there's 50,000 struck page uh uh text messages and contacts between them.
And what we now have emerging with this week with the leading me with the media leak strategy, it's now all the House of Cards is beginning to tumble.
And there's every indication now that now that this has crept into Bob Muller's office himself, now that there's irrefutable and incontrovertible evidence that it's the highest ranking members of the FBI and DOJ that are involved in nefarious activities and abuse of power to prevent one person from becoming president and help another person become president, and then also destroy the president that won that was duly elected by the people.
Now all of a sudden it seems like they want to clean this mess up and get out as quickly as they can.
It's not going to be that easy, especially now that we know a grand jury has been impaneled and that they're looking into Andrew McCabe, deputy FBI director.
And we're also being told that they're looking into a lot of other information that could be equally damning.
We had Joe de Genova on Hannity last night.
We'll talk about this with Carter Page later today, but he explained that these struck page text that we've been putting out all week, that there is in fact an illegal and criminal strategy to release information related to the foreign intelligence surveillance act, the Pfizer warrants to surveil Trump campaign associate Carter Page.
And he rightly points out the leaks are a criminal offense by mentioning Carter Page by name, Strzok and Page created a massive civil liability, not only for themselves, and many FBI officials, including Jim Comey, told him that he had the right to remain silent at the time.
He didn't listen to me.
And Andrew McCabe and former FBI general counsel James Baker, and they're all going to go down on what this Pfizer abuse is about.
It's now the evidence is overwhelming, and a grand jury is impaneled.
Now the media, one day they're going to have to play catch up, and they're never going to get there because they can't help themselves.
What happened with Paul Manafort today is even more fascinating, which I'll get to.
But I got to tell you, with everything that we learned, their media leak strategy, their leaks that we know they put out there, the people involved in the leak.
This is all Obama's top FBI, DOJ, DNI, and CIA officials involved in all of this.
This is what it comes down to.
We now have all the evidence we need that they had rigged an investigation to favor the candidate that they say publicly and privately that they loved Hillary Clinton.
The evidence in that case was overwhelming and incontrovertible, that she violated the Espionage Act, that she obstructed justice.
These are things we have repeated for quite a long period of time.
That's all true.
This all happened.
It happened because they hated Trump and they favored her.
Her campaign was allowed to continue.
The campaign continues, and I guess they feel above the law when it comes to pretty much everything.
Because then they're funneling money, a campaign finance violation through a law firm, so it shows up as a legal expense that hires an op research group that hires a foreign national, Christopher Steele.
Christopher Steele puts Russian lies together, Russian propaganda together.
And then what they do with this information is pretty disgusting.
If you look at the heart of it all, you've got it being leaked pretty much by everybody that matters, that has power, uh that could that is involved in all of this.
I mean, when you think of, you know, you have the director of national intelligence, he's leaking some of this information.
You have the CIA director, he's handing it over to Harry Reid himself.
So that information can be sent to James Comey.
That's all orchestrated, planned.
It's part of their strategy.
Then you have the leaks of Strzok and Page, et cetera, on all of this.
On top of that, we find out that the information in the phony dossier that's leaked to the American people.
To me, that's the worst part because they're disseminating false information with the purpose of influencing the American people in the lead up to an election.
Of course, Peter Strzok referred to us as smelly Walmart people.
He can smell us.
And that information, that paid those paid-for Russian lies, they were never verified, never corroborated.
They were presented to Pfizer court judges.
Well, you can't present unverified, uncorroborated information for a judge, Rod Rosenstein recognizes that himself.
And on top of that, and you have the other instances of abuse, then you omit specific information that is relevant, especially to obtain a difficult Pfizer warrant.
You have to tell the judge everything you know.
And if you know that Hillary Clinton paid for it all, it's a political document bought and paid for by a political research.
Well, you need to tell that too.
And they didn't, repeatedly did not.
And then, of course, they Donald Trump wins.
They first tried to stop him from winning, and it's interesting.
If you look at the whole group of people we have here, McCabe and Comey, Strzok and Paige, Sally Yates over a DOJ.
If you look at Bruce Orr, his wife Nelly working for Fusion GPS, his relationship with Christopher Steele.
It gets really dicey because Christopher Steele is sending to his BFF, Bruce Orr, all the information that he himself doesn't stand by.
Remember, in Great Britain, under the threat of perjury, Christopher Steele wouldn't stand behind his own phony Russian dossier.
He said maybe 50-50.
It's raw intelligence.
I have no idea because he didn't want to be put in jail for perjury.
But he's still trying to feed that information and other information using a conduit that's been set up for him, Bruce Orr, who we met many times, who handwritten notes exist about, and text messages exist, and all this other evidence exists, 70 plus contacts, and he's trying to get Bruce Orr to give information.
That's Christopher Steele to special counsel Robert Muller and his contacts.
The contact we believe to be Andrew Weissman who works in the office, who is beyond ethically challenged.
So now all of this stinks to high heaven.
All of this shows a massive abuse of power, political scandal, the likes of which this country has never seen before.
And it's now all getting exposed.
Now we have a grand jury set up.
And we're told, my sources are telling me that they're looking into a lot more than Andrew McCabe and Andrew McCabe's lying.
And that every person that signed off on that fake fraudulent Pfizer warrant is going to have to answer questions.
And so what we see happening, I think very quickly here, I don't think, you know, it's interesting we don't hear so much about the subpoenaing of the president anymore by the special counsel's office.
And we don't hear a whole lot at this particular time about, well, we're not going to have the Paul Manafort trial number two.
That was resolved today.
And when you get into the intricacies of that, then you're beginning to see that maybe the good people of law enforcement now have taken charge.
Because you got in this Manafort indictment, this new indictment that was put out a few hours ago.
Well, you also see people implicated, like Tony Podesta, who yeah, John Podesta's brother, the Clinton Connected super lobbyist.
Anyway, Tony Podesta knew he was working with Paul Manafort on behalf of a Ukrainian politician according to an indictment released earlier today.
Podesta Manafort, Mercury Public Affairs all failed to register as foreign agents of Ukraine for the work.
Manafort today enters a plea agreement with the special counsel.
He agrees to cooperate.
And after making a series of phone calls, I got three people corroborating that it had nothing to do with Trump, Russia, or collusion.
So you got two lobbying firms, one owned by the Democrat super lobbyist, friend of the Clintons, Tony Podesta, knowingly working with Manafort at the direction of the Ukrainian government, according to an indictment released today.
And the indictment was released ahead of the plea of Manafort.
So all this now is coming to, they're beginning to land the airplane, if you will.
Part of a lobbying scheme that Manafort solicited two lobbying firms to lobby on behalf of then Ukrainian president.
You know, various employees of companies A and B, it says, understood that they were receiving direction from Manafort as it relates to this particular presidential candidate, which was not operational on companies A and B began lobbying for Ukraine.
What they're basically saying in that indictment is that, yeah, everybody else committed crimes too.
So I don't know how this all ends, but it seems like it's going to come to a much quicker end than people that I thought it would.
Because at this point, how do you justify what has taken place at the highest levels of the FBI, the DOJ, the director of national intelligence's office, and of course, leaking like mad, Brennan CIA, all under the banner of Barack Hussein Obama's government in the lead up to an election?
And what other people might be involved ultimately in all this?
Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, Samantha Powers.
Are we going to ever find out why they were unmasking 300 plus people in an election year?
A 350% increase?
Are we going to get to the bottom of who helped rig the investigation into Hillary?
Are we going to ask who knew what when and where as it relates to the phony dossier that was put together?
Are we going to ask who's responsible for making the decision to repeatedly lie to Pfizer court judges, withholds specific important information to obtain a warrant on an opposition party candidate in the lead up to a presidential election?
Are we ever going to get to the bottom of how this corrupt group band of people got put together?
Are people going to be held responsible for their leaking?
We've been right.
What has the media been talking about?
Russia, Russia, Russia, and anything but.
And now it's coming to a crashing halt faster than even I thought it would.
How it ends, I I don't know how this ends.
If there's justice, there will be equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws.
If there's not, and they try to cover it up, well, that's when we needed another special counsel then to get the job done.
With only a kite, a house key, and wet hemp string.

Learn more about the nation's leader in energy storage at Nextera Energy.com.
All right, let's see.
Let's see what they have.
I don't think the Manafort thing is a big deal.
One thing that is becoming a big deal is this issue of this last minute um leak by Diane Feinstein.
All of a sudden, they found out that something happened when Brett Kavanaugh was back in high school with a woman apparently doesn't want to come forward, sent something confidential back in June to Diane Feinstein.
Now she had private meetings with Brett Kavanaugh.
The anonymous accuser says that he tried to force himself on her at a high school party.
But she doesn't want to come out publicly.
And yet Diane Feinstein, I'm respecting and honoring her wishes.
No, no, she's not.
So they had hoped that the hearings would do in Kavanaugh, and she's been holding on to this for June, which is just quintessentially, you know, a a borking or what they do to Clarence Thomas.
And um it just is, and then you have 65 other women that have came forward to have come forward now to vouch for Kavanaugh's character.
Sixty-five that knows Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that knew him in high school and testified to his good character in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee in light of these uh last minute allegations about something that he might have done in high school in the 70s or 80s.
I I mean, is this is this what we're now stooping to?
An all new low?
New York Post says Democrats' desperate drive to derail the Brett Kavanaugh nomination took a despicable new term, last minute push to exploit an anonymous allegation that Senator Diane Feinstein's been sitting on for months.
Kavanaugh poised to win confirmation with 55 votes.
The Judiciary Committee Democrats late Wednesday plainly held a final.
Does anyone have anything session?
Dai Fi mentioned a confidential letter she received over the summer, and the next day the partisans had made the core facts public, which apparently the individual didn't want to have happen.
Well, why would they do that?
The individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further.
I've honored that decision.
No, you haven't.
By giving it to all your colleagues and telling your colleagues what the letter said, you made it public.
Obviously, in an attempt to pressure uh people to come out against this.
All right, what is going on as it relates to the hurricane?
It doesn't look bad to me, but what do I know?
Um we'll have the latest on that with Joe Bestardi.
We'll have more of these last minute antics and more deep state issues.
Sarah Greg joined us today.
Carter Page joins us today as well.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
Uh we've been watching now the hurricane, Hurricane Florence uh hit the coast.
Wilmington, North Carolina, and it seems to be taking the track that we said, but it doesn't seem to be as damaging as we once thought.
We have 600,000 plus people without power, 10 to 15 foot uh storm surges.
Uh, we do have Cajun Navy rescuers there.
They've been involved in helping some people that have gotten into trouble.
We I have seen some neighborhoods that are flooded, uh, but it doesn't look as bad as we thought it would look, at least from my perspective, but we still have a lot of time left to go.
Uh we have our the official meteorologist of the Sean Hannity show.
That's Joe Bestardi, Weatherbell.com.
I'm looking at it now, it it just doesn't seem to be knocking down any houses or flooding to any extreme that would concern me uh like what we thought was going to happen.
Well, the only thing you're seeing is the pictures in those areas that uh are being seen.
Um for instance, uh after Katrina, three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw a reporter standing on Bourbon Street saying, uh, well, we dodged a bullet over here.
And you don't really know what's going on in ninety-nine point nine percent of the area that people aren't taking pictures.
For instance, uh the pier, uh Atlantic Beach, which has been there for years and years was demolished.
All right.
Uh Wilmington uh has had a wind gust of 105 miles an hour, which is their second highest on record.
And uh Wilmington, of course, uh the records go back there a hundred years with all these great hurricanes that have gone through that area, Donna and Hazel and Hugo and Fran and Floyd.
So uh when when I uh when I look at something like this, I wait until it's all over.
Like I remember coming, like I said, we're coming home from Katrina.
I've been working about thirty-six hours straight.
I walked in the house and uh just says, Well, they're saying it's not that bad.
My wife said that to me because they were reporting from one place.
So we have to see what's going on, and let's keep in mind we're still getting wind gusts or hurricane force out of the southeast at Wrightsville Beach and all the way up the coast.
These folks in New Bern, where the water is coming down the river and the sound is coming up, I mean you're they're in very, very bad shape.
It's just spreading into the Grand Strand now.
The strongest winds, by the way, in the Myrtle Beach area will be tomorrow afternoon.
And that's when they could get gusts of 70, 75 miles an hour out of the southeast, which you'll come bought off the ocean.
So I I would I would wait.
Let's hope that uh let's hope that it's not as bad.
But I suspect when it's all said and done, and they get into these areas, and remember this storm's got another day or two to go in some of the areas that are being hit now.
It's got another couple of days to come along back into South Carolina, it comes up the mountains and right through Pennsylvania, right through New York.
And we're we're not talking about hurricane forest winds at that point at all.
No, we're talking about a lot of flooding, the threat of tornadoes.
Uh maybe wind gusts.
I wouldn't be surprised if we got wind gusts of fifty miles an hour on Long Island, uh, because a lot of times when these storms come out of the mountains, you saw what happened.
Remember, Ivan came out of the mountains and all of a sudden it round wound back up again because the frictional effects go down.
But we you know, they may downgrade this to a tropical storm at five o'clock, but this is uh this is an ongoing.
The governor says that the storm is overwhelm new burn, North Carolina.
That's the thing.
Sean, uh and I I the last thing I want to do is overhype something, but all I'm saying is it hit at 958 millibars, and when I see Wilmington get a wind gust from the north-northeast, not from the east-southeast, from the land.
So a wind uh Wilmington, uh Wilmington, North Carolina, that there's no ocean north-northeast of them.
When you get a wind gust of 105 miles an hour, you have to wonder well, what the heck happened is happening on the beaches where the wind is coming off the friction frictionless surface almost of the oceans.
And so when the totality Well, the winds now are at sixty-four miles an hour in Wilmington.
Um I don't know what the level of flooding is, but I mean the gusting has been as high as uh over a hundred.
Newburn, by the way, is apparently been hit particularly hard.
And and they're actually giving out helpline numbers for their um 911 calls are are coming in because I guess people have been devastated.
Uh we don't well I guess we're not gonna be able to assess the property damage until when, tomorrow.
Well, I I don't think we'll be able to really get in there and look at it till probably next week sometime because you know, uh if you're still gusting 40 to 50 miles an hour out of the southeast tomorrow, uh, and you're still piling water in.
Uh, you know, I I'm looking at the the models have uh, for instance, have another uh twenty inches of rain in Wilmington before this is done.
So, you know, if you're this is where you say that this this now sits there for twenty four, thirty-six hours and just keeps dropping rain like mad.
I am seeing some pictures now of some destruction in Newburn.
Newburn does look Like it was hit pretty hard.
Um I don't see buildings that have collapsed, but I do see a lot of windows broken, a lot of debris is flown over everything.
Well, trees look like they're still standing.
Yeah, I don't think you're going to see, you know, building you don't see but besides they build them to code now.
So but look, that I've been to Atlanta.
There's a tree down and there's a storefront that was blown open that had plywood on it.
When I see a pier demolished at Atlantic Beach, which is stood against these hurricanes for years, I have to say to myself, hmm, I wonder what else is going on.
So when they when it's all over, they'll assess the damage and see the the real the bottom line is how costly is it, and we hope there's no cost to human life, but how costly is it to property?
But let's remember also th this is a five to seven day warning.
You had the president getting out there and just it was like he was the leader of an army, mobilizing an army, determined to make sure that everybody was ready for this.
And so, you know, you're darned if you do, darned if you don't.
If it doesn't cause a tremendous amount of damage, people go, ah, it wasn't that bad.
If it causes more, oh look at that.
They didn't do their job.
So uh, you know, the the blame being.
So some images are coming in from New Burn, North Carolina, and it does show the the water ha the flooding is massive.
It does we're definitely seeing that part of it, uh, which is kind of like the ground zero area where it first hit, right?
So I guess it's and it's slow moving as you said.
It it's hit it hit it, it hit it right still beach and it's been drifting west southwestward.
But if you if you take a look, if you look at the radar and you you stand back and look at this, Sean, this immense storm has feeder bands that are still coming in right over Newburn.
There's still sixty seventy mile an hour winds in those feeder bands coming in, for instance, is drop dumping one to two inches of rain an hour.
Now, as this moves inland, it's still going to have real gusty winds, it's going to knock down some trees all the way to the upstate of South Carolina.
But what starts happening is the tornado aspect starts taking over.
Where tomorrow you'll see an increase in tornadic activity, you'll probably see even more on Sunday.
I wouldn't be surprised if on Tuesday there were some tornadoes in the mid Atlantic states when this went through.
So it's a multifaceted storm.
It's off its peak.
I would say that we're going to see uh max wind gust probably when the reports are all done from the stations and they all come in.
You'll probably see that this hit with wind dust up to 120 miles an hour.
Uh, but as far as the damage goes, well, is it a i uh you go's damage was thirty-six billion dollars, so Matthew was fourteen billion.
So we'll see where this actually totals up, and then we'll we'll make the assessment then.
But this is still part one of the storm.
And uh yeah uh I I just I just think that um you know, you uh as far as I'm gonna do it.
Why don't you give a quick last update?
Where where is it headed next and who's gonna be impacted by this?
Well, the center of the storm right now is near uh Bolivia, North Carolina, which is just about twenty miles northeast of North Myrtle Beach.
So it's gonna be near Myrtle Beach uh uh bet around midnight tonight.
It's drifting west southwest.
Tomorrow morning it'll be between Conway and Myrtle Beach.
So you folks down there know know what we're talking about.
And then late tomorrow night, Sunday morning, it'll be out near Columbia.
And because it's so close to the ocean, all you're gonna see, you're gonna get up Sunday morning, you're gonna see bands still coming in, still wrapping around the storm.
The wind will be down, but there's bands will be producing torrential rains, and then that spreads into the upstate and in those mountainous areas up Asheville, you get northwest of Greensville, you slam that tropical moisture in, and then that starts causing its problem, and then the system comes up the Appalachians, turns east northeastward, and uh and and the entire tropics will quiet down next week for about ten days, and after September 22nd through October 10th, it'll rev up again one more time.
And it's uh you can see you can see these patterns uh developing.
But for this particular situation, look, I I think we're about a quarter way through with this storm, and I think there's still a lot to go and a lot of surprises on the way, so I wouldn't uh I wouldn't declare it uh yet until it's all over that it wasn't as bad.
But we'll see.
Hopefully it isn't.
All right, Joe Bastardi, weatherbell.com.
Thank you for being with us and uh we'll have an update on Monday.
I hope everyone stays safe and as little property damage as possible, because that definitely ruins people's lives in some cases for years to come.
Um, you know, I want to get back to the Manafort issue today, um, because it it now is directly right in John Podesta's wheelhouse, as we we found out through his brother.
And according to these court papers, as I've been leaking reading through them, uh, released today as part of Manafort's plea deal.
What do we find out?
Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Well, they granted a member of Manafort's lobbying firm an audience in 2013 so he could lobby them on behalf of Ukraine's pro-Kremlin president.
So I guess that means that Obama and Biden have now been implicated in Russia collusion.
Anyway, political political points out Manafort's pro-Ukraine campaign reached the top levels of the White House with one of the members of his lobbying effort meeting President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in 2013, according to these new court papers, a member of the so-called Habsburg group,
which comprised a former European politicians, Manafort convened as part of a lobbying effort in support of Ukraine's then president, came with a foreign prime minister May 16, 2013 to meet with Biden and Obama, as well as a senior U.S. official and executive and legislative branches.
Alan Friedman, a former journalist based in Europe, who helped Manafort launch the group, told Manafort after the meeting that a member of the Habsburg group delivered the message of not letting Russians steal Ukraine from the West.
And the lobbying effort that caught prosecutors' attention tried to persuade the U.S. government to support the pro-Ukrainian guy that was being represented.
And uh anyway, it goes on.
In fact, uh the guy's name is Victor Yanukovych is his name, and he's now on trial for treason in Ukraine for selling his country out to Russia.
Shocker of all shockers.
Can't believe it.
Why didn't we hear about this information before?
Um, what else do we have?
We have one other note that I found here.
Um, because this gets more interesting by the second.
And I don't think we're getting the truth.
Now, Bob Woodward himself dropped a pretty major bombshell earlier today about the investigation that he did for his new book with all the talk about what Bob Woodward was saying about fear.
Actually, I would say the one word you can use for President Trump is fearless.
He doesn't care what anybody else thinks.
He's going forward with his agenda.
He doesn't care if people don't like his tweets, and he doesn't need to be liked by the liberal media, obviously.
Anyway, Woodward said Friday that he conducted a thorough investigation into possible Trump Russia collusion while researching his latest book, Fear, Trump in the White House, quote, but he found no evidence of a conspiracy.
Question, did you, Bob Woodward, hear anything in your research or your interviews that sounded like espionage or collusion?
Hugh Hewitt asked him.
I did not.
Of course, I look for it.
I look for it hard.
And he says, We're gonna see what Mueller has, Woodward said, but you saw no collusion.
I have not.
Why isn't that being heralded on fake news CNN and MSNBC?
Oh, I guess it doesn't fit their political narrative in any way, shape, matter, or form.
You see how this works with the media.
Anyway, so you got this last-minute attack against Brett Kavanaugh.
I don't think that's gonna work very well.
I mean, after promising not to leak, well, they're leaking apparently, less than 24 hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee vice chair, former Chinese intelligence asset, Diane Feinstein.
She promised not to divulge details about the allegation from a woman who claimed that Brett Kavanaugh committed some kind of sexual misconduct against her when she was in high school.
The details now shockingly have been mysteriously leaked.
New York Post says the woman who wrote the letter, two lawmakers accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexual misconduct, claimed that he held her down and tried to force himself on her during an alcohol-fueled high school party in the 80s, according to the New Yorker article published on Friday.
Kavanaugh was a student at a Jesuit run Georgetown Prep School in Bethesda, Maryland, met the woman, attended a nearby high school, and uh apparently at a party this this went down, according to Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer.
The woman wrote that Kavanaugh held her down, tried to force himself on her after he and a pal who had both been drinking turned up the volume of the music that was playing to drown out her protests.
Kavanaugh said he she also covered her mouth with his hand, but was uh eventually able to get free and to flee.
Allegedly this took place decades ago.
The woman said that the memory was so troubling that she had to seek psychological treatment.
She didn't want to be identified.
She first approached a California Democrat and then turned it over to Diane Feinstein.
Kavanaugh denies that this ever happened.
I categorically unequivocally deny this allegation.
Sixty-five other women that knew him in high school have come forward to say that that's not the guy that they knew.
Unbelievable.
I mean, this is a new low, this eleventh hour smear against Kavanaugh, somewhat reminiscent the attacks against Clarence Thomas.
The going back 40 years now, Kavanaugh is poised to win confirmation with 55 votes.
And um, you know, if if Feinstein says the individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward, declined to press the matter, and that she's honored that decision.
Apparently, she didn't honor that decision.
Anyway, 800 nine four one Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program, Sarah and Greg at the top of the hour.
It looks like this is now all of the onions that we peeled, every layer of it is now creating such trouble for the upper levels of the DOJ, FBI, CIA, DNI, and Muller's office that I'm getting a sense that they may want this to come to an end sooner than later.
Just a sense.
I don't know for sure.
When you bring up an integrity issue, and it's interesting, you and the gentleman from Texas uh raised this in a way that almost you know approaches it it it is insulting.
The gentleman answer the question.
If you're gonna be able to do that, sorry, so what I'm gonna respond to is what I'm saying.
I am here under oath.
I am not lying.
I have never lied under oath, and I never will.
And so the insinuation, not even the insinuation, the direct comment that you somehow say you have an integrity issue is insulting.
I take offense.
It is incorrect.
Nothing I think.
I never mentioned their personal life.
I just simply said the amount of time that you were spending on the taxpayers' dollar wasting it when you were supposed to be doing your job, texting back and forth to the curve, but that's a problem.
And what I'm saying is that the gentleman has already answered that.
All right, that was Peter Strzok back in uh his testimony time.
Uh, we've learned an awful lot this week about how the Strzok and Page team had a media leak strategy and how they were leaking to the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Also, we learned that the CIA was involved.
We also know that there was coordination with the FBI and DOJ as it relates to leaks.
You have uh Clapper leaking the dossier to the media.
You have Brennan leaking it to Harry Reid, who then leaks it to the media and to others.
Then you have Andrew McCabe, he's under criminal investigation.
A grand jury's been in paneled as it relates to media leaking and his lying that was involved in the case.
Now with these new texts that have been coming out all week with Paige and Strzok, well, part of their media leak strategy was on some of the most sensitive items involved and giving it to the New York Times, Washington Post.
One has to wonder if that uh part of the integrity to leak in the middle of an investigation.
They leaked before Donald Trump was uh elected president.
They leaked after he was president with the purpose then to destroy him, the purpose in the beginning to prevent him from ever winning.
That was the insurance policies that they had in place.
When you look at all the characters involved in every level level, Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Sally Yates, Bruce Orr, Nelly Orr, Christopher Steele, they have one thing in common.
They hate Donald Trump, and they all worked hard A to prevent him from getting elected and him ever being able to govern effectively.
You can also add Clapper and Brennan to that list and probably a lot more in terms of Obama administration officials.
Joining us now, we have Sarah Carter, investigative reporter, Fox News contributor, Greg Jarrett is the author of the number one New York Times bestseller, The Russian hoax.
Thank you both for being back with us.
Uh let's give a summary of what we learned this week.
Uh, I think we got more struck page emails and insight just again as to how desperate they were before the election and after the election to destroy Donald Trump and to hide all their nefarious activities.
And this this is a disaster, Sean, for the FBI and the DOJ.
Not only was collusion a complete hoax based on fabricated evidence, but as you point out, the FBI, the DOJ, the DNI, the CIA, all leaking to frame Donald Trump.
And these text messages prove it.
There was a media leak strategy.
Literally, Strzok and Page were dumb enough to text about it.
And then they bragged about their success.
The article is out.
Well done, Page.
It's a complete lie for Strzok and his lawyer to say, oh no, we were stopping leaks.
No, that that text is a very important thing.
Well, that was an outright lie by his attorney.
I mean, the attorney had to know these other text messages were coming out, didn't he?
Yeah, and this is what gives lawyers a bad name.
They're more than willing to misrepresent and deceive people on behalf of their clients.
This is some of the most incriminating evidence yet of Obama's Justice Department, James Comey's FBI, in a deliberate scheme to use their government positions for corrupt illegal purposes.
They invented the whole thing, then leaked the false evidence to the media, which was more than willing to run with the narrative that Trump colluded with Russia to win the election.
They knew it wasn't true.
It was all a lie, and they knew it.
They knew it from the beginning.
But if you go to this integrity issue, I take offense, Peter Strzok says.
Well, he's caught red-handed in all of this.
That was something that he told Congressman Mark Walker of North Carolina and called it insulting, and I take offense, and it's not correct.
And Walker was focused in on the questioning of the volume of text between him and Paige.
Look, there's over 50,000 messages.
I don't think we have a thousand of them yet, do we, Sarah Carter?
No, we don't.
And I think this is what's so stunning.
If you look at uh the defense, Peter Strzok's attorney tried to push forward, saying, Oh, they were just trying to stop these leaks.
And then you look at the text messages that came out on Wednesday.
Those specifically, Strzok writes to Page saying, also, apparently the Times, meaning the New York Times, is angry with us about the Washington Post scoop.
And the earlier discussion we had about the Schmidt piece that had so many inaccuracies.
Too much detail here, but I told Mike, which I believe, uh and I spoke to a couple of U.S. officials with Mike Corton, former head of the public relations office for the FBI, he also resigned.
Uh, and Andy, being Andy McCabe, that they need to understand we were absolutely dealing in good faith with them.
The FISA one coupled with the Guardian piece from yesterday.
We were dealing in good faith with them.
They're saying we've been talking to the Washington Post and to the Times, and the reason the Times was so upset, Sean, was because right during that time is when the Washington Post did the big expose, the first big story on Carter Page, that came out and said the FBI obtained a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump advisor Carter Page.
That was April 11th, 2017.
In April, former FBI director James Comey had just authorized the third FISA renewal on Carter Page.
So they were basically leaking the most highly classified information to the Washington Post to change the narrative against President Trump and put all of this onus on the Trump administration that they had basically propagated lies,
just like Greg is saying, from a phony dossier that is unproven, unverified, committed basically to the post, all of this information, which is highly classified in order to push that out to the media to create a disinformation campaign against the Trump administration.
There is nothing more damaging and egregious than that to national security.
And that is coming from people I've spoken with from the CIA to Western intelligence officials overseas that I have spoken with as well as FBI, former and current, right now.
There is nothing more egregious.
It looks to me, and I may be wrong, but I'm beginning to put pieces of the puzzle together that there are indications now that Robert Mueller wants to wrap this up, that Rod Rosenstein wants to wrap this up.
Everybody knows the president is on the verge of releasing information that they have been desperately trying to keep from the American people.
That would include the 302s with steel and ore.
They're critical because we now know that Christopher Steele, who didn't believe in his own dossier, had so much contact with Bruce Orr, over seventy instances of contact that We know of with meetings and handwritten notes, 302s that were written, text messages, emails sent back and forth, and that Christopher Steele, even though he didn't believe in his own dossier, was pushing it into the hands of the special counsel's office.
That then gets very close to Andrew Weisman.
He's the pit bull for Robert Mueller.
Then, of course, Rod Rosenstein himself signs the fourth Wise Pfizer Warrant, the final Pfizer warrant, the third renewal warrant.
He has issues with that.
He also is the one that recommended he fire Coley.
Also, we're hearing that there's no evidence of collusion.
They never had any.
They're not going after obstruction case.
So now it's a question of how they can wrap this up, end all of this, and probably try and save as many of their deep state friends as possible from the jail they likely deserve.
Do you guys are you both hearing the same thing?
Yeah, I am hearing the same thing that they're in a panic now because, in particular, uh for Robert Muller, his lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissman, was in on the use of the phony dossier.
He was quote unquote in the loop.
That's the testimony of Bruce Orr.
You know, Muller's investigation is completely tainted and corrupted.
It was bad enough with Peter Strzok, who was fired.
But now with Andrew Weisman as the key prosecutor in the case.
Muller's probe is lost all integrity and credibility.
He's got to wrap it up.
I think that's one of the reasons why Mueller was more than willing to have Paul Manafort plead down to a few of the charges against him because I think Mueller wants to wrap this whole darn thing up because it's crumbling before his and Rod Rosenstein's very eyes.
Well, is it gonna crumble, though?
I mean, uh look, we watched the plea deal with Manafort.
My sources tell me that whatever cooperation is going to be involved has nothing to do with Russia, nothing to do with the campaign, nothing to do with Trump.
Are you hearing the same thing?
I am hearing the same thing, and all you have to do is read the new indictment that was released a couple of hours before the plea deal today.
If you read in it, uh they refer to Company B. Company B is uh Tony Podesta's group, his brother, of course, John, was chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign.
The Podesta group knew they were representing a foreign government.
The emails cited in the indictment prove it.
Uh the pedestrian group didn't register under Farah, which is a crime, and instead they had a scheme, an illegal scheme.
They used a Brussels nonprofit as cover.
Podesta, Tony Podesta could be charged criminally under Farah as well as conspiracy to defraud the government.
When a lackey like Philippe Reigns, Hillary Clinton's lackey, you know, tweets out a profane tweet today claiming uh that Manafort is gonna flip against Trump.
Reigns doesn't know what he's talking about.
Uh the fact is uh that Manafort will implicate, it appears, Tony Podesta and the law firm, perhaps, Scadden Arps, that was doing legal work for all of this.
And your take on do you believe the same thing?
Do you think they're trying to bring this to a close mostly out of fear about what Donald Trump is likely to unredact and declassify next week?
Sarah.
I think so, uh Sean.
I think that this is it's it's wrapping up because they realize there is so much evidence already made public.
It's not just circumstantial evidence, and I've said this before, these are actually texts in their own words.
Now Congress is looking at calling all of these same players back, requestioning them, asking them questions about this, because remember, at the time they interviewed Peter Strzok, at the time they interviewed Lisa Page and all these other players, they didn't have the full context of all these text messages.
This is because the DOJ and the FBI have been so slow to bring them out.
And now Congress is asking for even more.
They're asking for all the communications of Joe Pienka, of other people that were involved.
Joe was the other FBI agent that went to question Lieutenant General Michael Flynn with Peter Strzok uh that day at the White House, where Flynn basically uh ended up uh copying a guilty plea, even though to one count of lying to the agents, even though Comey himself said he did not believe that uh Peter Strzok lied uh because both of the agents had had basically said that when they went back to the field office, and this is even coming from Peter Strzok.
But Mueller, you know, once again, this is the heavy arm of of the special counsel, uh, basically Pushing uh Flynn as well as others like George uh Papadopoulos moving in on Paul Manafort, looking at old cases, and then actually strong arming them into guilty pleas.
I think right now Mueller realizes that there's no place left to go here, and there's no way they can go after obstruction, Sean.
There's just no way they can do it because you have Rod Rosenstein who wrote the letter to President Trump to basically fire uh and gave all the reasons why the president should fire Director Comey, and now he's overseeing this.
He's either a witness or a co-conspirator.
That's what uh, you know, Victoria and uh Joe De Genova keep saying, and it's absolutely true.
There's only two options for him there.
Well then the the cleanup is gonna be interesting.
How do they clean this up?
Are these people going to be indicted?
We'll ask Greg and Sarah when we get back.
All right, as we continue, Greg Jarrett and Sarah Carter are with us.
All right, so Manafort's issues are now over.
It's just probably a matter of sentencing, although he's cooperating, but not anything Trump related or campaign related or Russia related.
Uh that's an interesting find by Greg Jarrett.
Uh now the question is there seems to be great fear with all the revelations and all the leaking and all the anti-Trump activists that were at the top levels of the Department of Justice, the FBI, CIA, and even in the Director of National Intelligence Office.
How do they get out of this?
I think he's gonna wrap it up with all of the charges that he's already brought on people.
I don't think there's any place he can go further with this.
And I think the second part of this is going to be And you mean he's just not gonna write a report, he's gonna let it the indictments that he has stand for themselves.
Absolutely.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Right, so what about the deep second phases going forward with prosecutions, or at least we know there's a grand jury in panel now, uh, against Andrew McCabe, but and we know that John Huber, and I just spoke to the Department of Justice.
John Huber is still in charge, even though we're questioning why he hasn't interviewed a number of people, but he's still working closely alongside the inspector general, I've been told today, and uh they are moving forward with their investigations.
So that's still ongoing, and I think there's gonna be a lot of revelations.
Greg, we could see the end of the Mueller investigation without a report, and we could see the beginning of the process of holding these top people in the DOJ, the FBI, and these different agencies accountable.
You do you really believe that?
I am hearing, as Joe DeGenova has has reported, that there is a grand jury that is legitimately looking into FISA abuse and all of the lies and deceptions and fraud that were perpetrated on the Fisk court.
And so you if that if that is the case, they shouldn't just stop there.
They should now look into the crime of leaking classified information to the media to frame Donald Trump and these latest texts over the last several days, prove it.
So all of that, I mean, there are so many crimes here, you would need a calculator to keep track of them.
I honestly, and I'll say this to both of you.
Without your your work, both of you and and some others, there's too many to mention here, David Schoen, and I I can't even begin to name everybody.
I don't think we'd be here today.
I think they would have gotten away with all of this.
And the fact that happened without you either, Sean.
I mean, uh it takes a lot of people because the the rest of the media is not reporting all of these facts.
No.
And uh without a platform to get that that out, we wouldn't have uh we wouldn't we wouldn't be able to move forward with these stories.
Well, we'll see.
I still don't trust these people.
I I just have a natural distrust of all of them, sadly.
800 941 Sean, Tollfree telephone number.
We'll hit the phones when we get back.
Final hour free for all.
Carter Page will join us.
Uh all that has been leaked about him.
How does he feel about it?
and that's all coming up straight ahead.
*music*
He gives you the latest breaking news when he hits the air.
This is the Sean Hannity show.
A damning Washington Post editorial is calling President Trump, quote, complicit in this storm, not for failing to prepare, but for failing to address climate change.
But according to two Harvard scientists, Trump's environmental policies could lead to an additional eighty thousand unnecessary deaths every decade.
Is Sean Hannity a Scientologist?
Alec Baldwin posing the big questions tonight here.
We have a president that is denying the impacts of you know this hurricane season last year and this year and actively making um making the problem worse.
I think you're elevating Trump to evil uh whereas uh having raised three kids, I just think he's a giant toddler.
I have a whole lot to say about this president's increasing erratic behavior over the past week or so.
Do you think you've had an earful?
Donald Trump check out what's in the ear of a beagle in Britain named Chief.
Is this president trying to impersonate Hugo Chavez?
Recep tie up Erdogan, Vladimir Putin.
Apparently the president gets two scoops.
You know, everyone around so around the table gets one.
Uh and no word if there were sprinkles.
He's gains weight.
He is so consumed uh by the calamity that exists and the cast that exists that he's not really prepared and focused because he spends every weekend golfing instead of preparing.
Beside all the strange third world tin pot dictator elements of this of his meeting.
Yeah, there's your media.
It's about every second, every minute, every hour, every day, 24-7, 365.
You know, let's face it, most uh people here are uh pretty upset and pretty sad for uh because of the election.
Uh that was the first moment I really felt like we were gonna lose.
And it was this massive like kick in the gut that we were gonna lose.
And it was really painful.
It'll be very strong and local and uh, you know, not just you know, from a press standpoint or a PR standpoint, but actually working hard behind the scenes uh to stand up for what's right.
I think it's it's worth being very vigilant and thinking about all these issues.
What can we do to lead to maybe a better quality of governance decision making and so forth?
Is that anything positive you see from this election desert?
Uh boy, that's that's a really tough one right now.
They wake up, they're like addicts, they need their fix, their Trump hate fix, or they break out in in hives and sweats and they go through withdrawals and they they just uh got this like they're purging evil out of their bodies that gotta get their hate fixed that they can justify everything they've been wrong about.
Anyway, 800 941 Sean is our number.
All right, as promised, we're gonna get to the phones.
Uh as we say hi to Kristen is in Statesville in North Carolina, where the hurricane is kind of parked right now.
Now it didn't look as bad as it I thought it was gonna be.
I know there's been some damage and some flooding, but it it could have been a lot worse so far, but we'll see.
How are you?
Kristen.
I'm good.
How are you?
Hi, hi.
Um yes, we are we are in Statesville.
We're about an hour north of Charlotte, three hours from Raleigh, four from Wilmington.
Um, I just for me, I am so tired of all the lies and calling Trump complacent and that he doesn't care.
Um I just wanted to share with you that here in Statesville, we are the intersection of I-40 and I-77.
Um, since Wednesday, we have been a staging station for all of the linemen and utility trucks.
And Sean, I'm not talking 50 trucks, I'm talking hundreds.
Every empty parking lot everywhere is full of these linemen trucks.
Well, nobody listens to my reporting, but I made multiple calls to the White House this week, and they they told me they are totally prepared, and that they have pre-positioned the trucks as you've mentioned to get the electricity back up, that they pre-positioned uh tractor trailers with food, water, medicine supplies, baby formula, cots, blankets, pillows, and you know, all the stuff that they would anticipate people are gonna need.
And um look, they're gonna go in as soon as it's safe to do so, and they're gonna help out those people that need help.
And that's what we do.
That's what Americans do.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And that what that's what Trump is doing, and that's what he has been doing.
And as you said, no one's gonna listen to what not many are gonna listen to what you say or what the White House says, but I just want to tell you from a firsthand account that they're here and they've been here and um they're ready to go as soon As they get their orders.
We've got guys here from California that didn't just, you know, you didn't just pack up on Wednesday and come.
Trump sent them Sunday, Monday, whenever.
So they've been here.
They've been on it since early on.
Once we knew that this was gonna hit, and look, I hope there's not as much damage as they were predicting.
I hope that there's not as much a calamity and and destruction of people's homes.
Um that becomes a a life-changing event.
And uh, but I did you have to you have to assume sometimes that these things can be the worst because it does happen.
And uh well, anyway, you're still in our thoughts and prayers, hang in there, and I'm pretty sure as soon as this thing moves out, everybody's gonna be moving in and people be a little bit patient, they'll get their power up.
Look at you know, the infrastructure in Puerto Rico, everyone wants to talk about, well, Puerto Rico, billions and billions of government dollars were poured into Puerto Rico, and they had very poor infrastructure before that the two hurricanes hit them to begin with.
They literally ended with zero electrical power, and it's taken a lot of time and money money, they've had to rebuild the entire infrastructure from the ground up.
And all of that's gotten done, and all people want to talk about is the failure aspect of it.
I don't know what you can do when every every single basic fundamental infrastructure item is destroyed.
It's you you gotta start from the beginning, and it's very time consuming and it's very tough.
But with that said, they did it and uh people were taken care of.
It was slow, but um an enormous amount of resources were rightly sent to help out the people of Puerto Rico.
I remember Geraldo had a himself, he had a charity, and he went down there and and I donated to his charity, and I know that money went exactly where it was supposed to go.
And uh, you just feel for people when they have to go through this.
If you can't, if you don't have any empathy or the ability to emphasize have have empathy for people that go through tough times, nobody's asking anybody if you're a Republican or a Democrat.
We just what do you need?
What can we get you?
How can we help you?
Anyway, when we get back next week, if there's certain needs that have arisen that we find out about and good charities that are doing good work, like Samaritan's Purse, we'll tell you all about it on Monday.
Uh, let's get to Steve in Greensboro in North Carolina.
What's up, Steve?
How are you?
Glad you called.
Oh, thank you, Sean.
I appreciate it very much.
Uh the sh the screener asked me what I wanted to talk about, and she did a great job, by the way.
Um, was it Kylie?
I think it was Kylie.
Yes, Kylie, the newest member of the Sean Hannity show.
She did a really good job.
Uh I I just like to ask, uh, what's the deal?
Why doesn't President Trump get rid of uh the AG and this rotent strike or street steam guy, whatever his name is?
Because politically it's gonna be they'll act like it's a Saturday night massacre.
They'll act like, oh, that's all the evidence of guilt.
I think the president rightly has sucked it up, and he has he's he's allowed Mueller to do his job.
I don't think he's gonna stop Mueller.
I don't think he had any intention of stopping him, but this witch hunt has gone on long enough.
And now we have learned that there were, as we have been reporting, it took a long time to get to the bottom of it, but we know who the people are that were involved in an attempt to literally steal a presidential election and so abuse their power and their positions as it relates to unmasking and surveillance against Americans, lying to Pfizer courts, rigging investigations.
Uh we know the people involved in leaking to destroy, then candidate Trump, then President Trump, and they all come from the upper ranks of the DOJ and the FBI and the CIA and director of National Intelligence Office, all under Obama, Obama's guys.
And now that the they have been caught, now all of a sudden people are looking for exit ramps.
And let's see what happens.
I don't know exactly how this is gonna end, but I suspect that a lot of people that did these nefarious criminal acts are gonna be held accountable, and it's not gonna be the Trump campaign.
And it's not gonna, and people could say, well, what about Paul Manafort?
Nothing that Paul Manafort agreed to had anything to do with his time working for Donald Trump.
Nothing.
All of it had to do with years before he ever met Donald Trump.
In one sense, he's a he's a political victim in all of this.
As for the people in in Russia that were that Devin Nunes had warned about in 2014 that Barack Obama laughed at in 2016, weeks before the election.
Well, you know, we better take threats from countries that are hostile, like Russia and China and Iran and North Korea.
We better take them seriously.
You know, it's been how many years since teenagers, then teenager Julian Assange, you know, hacked into what?
NASA and hacked into the DOD.
That's 35 years ago.
At some point, where where are the defenses that we need to protect our nation's secrets?
And that goes to the heart of where it all began.
That's Hillary Clinton setting up our own server, putting top secret classified information on it, obstructing justice.
Do we ever get to the bottom of her?
Do we get to the bottom of rigging the investigation in Hillary's favor with Comey and Strzok and others?
Do we ever straighten out the injustice that happened with General Flynn?
Do we ever get to some of these other players like the Podesta family group and what they do and their involvement in the same activities that Paul Manafort was involved in?
You know, do we ever get to the people that were involved in lying to Pfizer court judges repeatedly, withholding information, giving unverified, untruthful information to judges, lying to Pfizer courts, purposely committing fraud on a court multiple times to spy on an American to get to one political campaign that they wanted to destroy.
Do we get the leakers that were in the upper ranks of these intelligence agencies?
Do they get held accountable for what they did?
And it's going to be a lot of fallout from all this.
I can't tell you which way it's going to go, but I do sense that without the work that we've been doing here, I don't think we'd be where we are.
I think they just keep going with impunity.
And I think they wouldn't stop until they took the president down.
Now I guess they feel like they can just hand it off if the Democrats win in 53 days.
You'll feel like it's one big long year after year investigation of Donald Trump.
That's why 53 days from now matters.
I hope you people are motivated.
I I don't sense that you're you have enough motivation at this point to do what's going to be necessary to add seats in the Senate for Republicans and to prevent the House from getting into Maxime Waters and Nancy Pelosi's hands.
I don't sense people have the urgency that makes me comfortable that those two houses of Congress are not in jeopardy.
I don't know why people don't understand this.
Fundamentally, this is the biggest choice you have.
They want to impeach the president.
They want nonstop endless investigations, as Schiff said this week.
They're not they're not laying out any platform that benefits the American people.
They want to take back the tax cuts, the crumbs, because they think Washington could do better with it in spite of all the economic success we've had.
They think for whatever reason Obamacare works great.
They want to keep it.
It's a bad idea.
And it's cost us a fortune.
And it has funneled us into a system that was destined to fail from the beginning.
And then, of course, they want to open borders.
They want to get rid of ICE agents.
And I guess if uh we follow the Gavin Newsom model out in California, we're going to have free health care for anybody, whether you're in the country legally or not, you'll still get free health care.
Anyway, I hope uh I hope that makes sense to you.
All right, as we continue with our busy phones, let's get to uh Basil is in Mobile, Alabama on the Sean Hannity show.
What's up, Basil?
How are you?
Oh, I'm doing fine.
Sean, how are you doing today?
I am surely enough anytime, okay?
Well, welcome aboard.
Yes, sir.
I called um to talk about Attorney General Sessions.
He needs to be held accountable for not doing his job.
And not having our president Trump's back.
We did not let President Trump just so Jeff Sessions just have his dream job.
He needs to go, he needs to go.
Unless I can see something, and I haven't seen that yet, that makes me change my mind.
You know, the thing is is people don't get motivated for whatever reason in special elections or midterm elections.
I understand a part of it, but there's another part of it that I don't understand.
And I think if for those that really have enjoyed the success part of the Trump presidency, I would think the first order of business is to protect what you voted for, especially in light of how hard the deep state liberals, the media, Democrats have tried to take away this success.
And the best thing, listen, if you want to turn on the TV in 53 nights on election night this November, and you want to see the media depressed, sad, shocked, and and dismayed at the results.
The only way that's going to happen is if every person in every district gets up and gets out and votes.
Vote for your congressman, vote for your senator, and make it important to you so that the country stays on the right track and we stay the course.
They want to stop all progress.
They want to stop it any way they can.
They've never liked this president.
He is an existential threat to their power.
Anyway, I hope that answers your question.
800-941 Sean, toll free telephone number.
We'll hit the phones when we get back.
Final hour free for all.
Carter Page will join us.
Uh, all that has been leaked about him.
How does he feel about it?
And that's all coming up straight ahead.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All I could say about this, I didn't plead guilty to collusion.
I fled guilty to lying.
And you know, everybody makes mistakes, but certainly I wasn't pleading guilty to any sort of thing.
When you lie, people think you're lying to protect somebody.
Were you lying to protect anybody?
The campaign.
Why did you feel the need or desire to lie?
You know, looking back, I I just it's it was a chaotic moment, you know, and sometimes you make mistakes.
That's all I could say about it.
Tough day for Mr. Matterfort, but he's accepted responsibility.
And uh he wanted to make sure that his family was able to remain safe and uh live a good life.
He's accepted responsibility, and this is for conduct that dates back many years.
And everybody should remember that.
So thank you, everyone.
We do know from the text revealed by Strzok and Page yesterday that we now are at a different place.
The walls are closing in, but they're not closing in on the president.
They're closing in on the FBI and the Department of Justice under President Obama.
Those text messages by Strzok and Page, which reveal an illegal media strategy to ill legally and criminally release Pfizer warrant information and name a U.S. citizen whose information they gave to the New York Times is a criminal offense.
And by mentioning Carter Page, they have now created massive civil liability for everybody involved in revealing Carter Page's name, including themselves, uh James Baker, the former FBI general counsel, prize step, everybody in the chain of command.
In addition, the reporters for the New York Times have no privileges now.
They also can be sued by Carter Page, because although they may have been legally able to accept the information, by publishing it, they revealed classified information that smeared Carter Page.
Mr. Page, what about this?
He's going to be a very wealthy man.
All right, that was Joe DeGenova news roundup and information overload here on a Friday, 800-941 Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
If you want to be a part of the program, we have had now four consecutive days of new information, new text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page revealing what is legal and a criminal strategy to release information related to the foreign intelligence surveillance act,
among other things, coordinating leaking a media leak strategy with uh the DOJ and the FBI, and then we find out their sister, quote, the CIA was also leaking similar information.
Um the leaks were a criminal offense, Joe DeGenova is saying, and uh that Carter Page is gonna be in the end here a ri very rich man, and that there's a massive civil liability that they've now brought on themselves.
Carter Page now joins us, uh, who's been in the midst of this from the very beginning.
Uh, how are you, sir?
I'm doing great, uh, Sean.
Thanks so much for helping to bring this to the forefront.
It's uh it's been a long time coming.
I think that one of the things that I observe happening, this is a big picture observation, is that everything now is has gotten so close.
There's been so much corruption revealed.
We now learned everything about the Pfizer warrants on you were predicated on false information that they knew that was false, and they kept renewing it.
They purposely withheld information from the Pfizer court judges, which is that's a fraud by omission.
And similarly, they have an obligation to verify and corroborate what was the bulk of information they fed the Pfizer judges.
That would be the steel dossier.
Even he doesn't stand by his steel dossier.
And then it runs deeper, runs into Robert Muller's office vis-a-via conduits steel through Bruce Orr, they're they're collocolluding to get more fake information in the hands of Robert Mueller.
So to me, this has to now really begin to wind down because it stinks that high to heaven that even they know that this is bad.
Well, Sean, they've just created so much damage for our country.
And I I try to, you know, as you say, you gotta keep an eye on the big picture and think strategically as as you always do uh every day.
And you know, the the big problem here is that I think with all this fake storyline that's been going on for over two years now, it's just caused so much damage for first the Trump campaign, then the Trump transition team, and now the president's administration.
So, you know, in addition to all these problems in the Justice Department, it had huge ripple effects on U.S. foreign policy, etc.
So I think you know, as you say, you need to think strategically to kind of get some solutions for our country.
The first time I interviewed you, and I think this is important for people to understand, because I think a lot of people would think, well, hang on, if they got Pfizer warrants on you, then there had to have been a reason.
But as we've now been able to unpeel the layers of the onion, we find out that the information that they used to obtain the warrants were based on a dossier that was put together by a foreign agent, a foreign national, Christopher Steele, and he was paid by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, and they even had campaign finance issues funneling that money through a law firm to fusion GPS.
But what we discovered is everybody involved in the process had one thing in common is that they all hated Donald Trump, but they used false information, unverified information to obtain these warrants on you.
So I do think you have a civil case.
Tell us the status about going forward and and who do you want to hold accountable in all this?
Well, I think you know, the main thing that needs to be fixed first and foremost, uh Sean, is all the problems it's created for our country.
So I've been blessed with many people wanting to help me in terms of fixing those crimes from a personal standpoint.
I always bear in mind the big picture, you know, as you've alluded to.
It's important to, you know, fix what's uh all the problems that this has created for our country.
And you know, you gotta remember when there was a dodgy dossier uh back in 2002, 2003, which the Intel community was uh getting from some fake sources in Europe, very much like they did against myself, you know, that ended up leading to a multi-trillion dollar war.
So we're lucky to have leadership in the White House who which is preventing those problems from happening again.
So I want the truth to come out first and foremost, and then we'll we'll figure out all these other sort of secondary things, you know, down the road.
Let's let's go into another issue.
You uh for whatever reason, I guess your work caused you to travel abroad into countries that are hostile to the United States.
It's not illegal, correct?
Absolutely not.
No.
You you've been to Russia how many times?
Going back, you know, my uh first trip there was in 1991, you know, 27 years ago and uh countless times basically.
I lived over there a few years as well.
Yeah.
Is is there a certain fascination you had with Russia, or was it a business arrangement that you had with with individuals or companies or teaching?
It was uh inspiration back when I was in high school in the nineteen eighties, watching President Reagan's negotiations in Reykjavik and many US Russia arms control negotiations.
You know, and I think what uh Reagan and Gorbachev were saying is that we need to find new pathways for it for our country.
And I always had a belief in that, and when I uh after I graduated uh U.S. Naval Academy, I uh I had a chance to do U.S. Russia arms control negotiations in the Pentagon.
So that was really my first sort of professional step in that direction.
All right, so you went to the Naval Academy or Naval Academy Grad?
Yes.
And um when you would come back from these individual trips, uh, a number of times the government or intel agencies would want to sit and debrief you, correct?
Absolutely.
And you know, I I don't like talking about it because I try to be discreet, Sean, but you know, as you've been alluding to, with all these people putting out, you know, their media leak strategies about, you know, those conversations.
I need to set the record straight.
So yes, I can admit that I uh I did that.
What about these media leak strategies?
They had, as you know, that the the words media leak strategy.
Then we look at the timeline and you see, wow, they did in fact leak a lot of this information.
Um I know struck at one particular point.
Oh, the Times is angry with us about the Washington Post scoop earlier and earlier discussion about the Schmidt piece.
Schmidt is a is a writer for the New York Times, had so many inaccuracies, too much detail here, but I told Mike and Andy, and by the way, we believe Andy is Andrew McCabe.
Uh they need to understand that we're dealing with them in good faith.
And then, of course, they use the term media leak strategy.
And then we talk about, they both talk about how our sisters have begun to leak like mad, and the term sister referring to the CIA.
Well, Sean, it's like you talk about, you know, every week about how there are so many good people in law enforcement.
And, you know, again, similar to what that same uh gentleman at the Washington Post, uh, Devlin Barrett, you know, there was uh they ended up telling him uh later in June of last year that I, you know, spent many hours in uh interviews with the FBI in March 2017, right?
So, you know, and it's it's interesting because all of the or the agents that I was talking to then, you know, as we started our uh conversations initially, they were concerned uh or they you know, they were asking all the questions from the you know, the fake DNC dossier, and then eventually, you know, they could tell just uh or I got the sense that they could tell what uh complete garbage it was.
And so instead of asking me questions, they would say, Well, our bosses have questions that we like to ask.
So it seemed like they were starting to get the joke that uh, you know, this is all just a spin routine, you know, as uh as time goes on.
But it's as you it's as you say, you know, every week there's really some great people in law enforcement and you know, some of the people higher up to the case.
What do you know?
Because there's a lot of talk that maybe next week that the there may be declassification and unredacted versions of the Pfizer warrants.
These are the Pfizer warrants against you, and then there would be notes that were released, 302s.
Uh that we would refer to Bruce Orr and his his contacts with Christopher Steele and maybe others because Christopher Steele was asking Bruce Orr to g send information to the special counsel, which is scary considering Christopher Steele didn't stand by his own dossier.
Um what do you make of that new information?
Well, I I think it sounds promising, Sean.
I mean, I I I'm my only uh disappointment is everyone keeps telling, well, the president needs to do this in terms of the declassification.
I wish Department of Justice and FBI would do the right thing and just had a lot of time to do it.
It seems like they refuse to.
Yeah, it's uh it's unfortunate, but I'm hoping, you know, again, what we were just talking about, you know, these 2013 offenses uh by Mr. Manaford, you know, these are much bigger 2016 crimes that were taken against the Trump campaign.
Well, none of none of them had to do with the election, none of them had to do with Russia, none of them had to do with anything to do with Trump.
Let me ask you about your time with the special counsel's office.
When did you first get called in?
You know, Sean, I I don't like to talk about that.
You know, I try to be discreet and uh unfortunately, you know, those same news organizations, New York Times and Washington Post, you know, they uh they leaked to them that you know last year I did have conversations uh with them, and so you know that's that's all I'm gonna do.
Well, can you give us a I tell you what?
We'll take a break, we'll come back.
I'll I'll ask you a little bit more about this on the other side because I think people would like to know what happens, what do they what were they looking for?
Uh 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, we'll have your calls at the bottom of the hour.
Carter Page remains with us.
All right, as We continue with uh Carter Page uh after a week of revelations and just how corrupt the media leaking strategy was from those people in the upper ranks of the Department of Justice, the FBI, literally collusion among them.
Of course, if you want to look at all the leaks, uh there's been an awful lot of them, and it seems from only the highest people in government that have all the power involved in all of this, you know, from the director of national intelligence on down.
You have let's see, Clapper leaking the dossier.
You have Brennan, we now learned the sister network, there they were pushing it to Harry Reid, the dossier and others.
You got Andrew McCabe is under criminal investigation for media leaks that he allegedly lied about four times.
Then you got struck in page.
We learned this week that they had a full-on media strategy.
You got James Comey that was involved in leaking presidential memos and to a friend for the purpose of getting a special counsel.
All right, so Carter Page is in the middle of all this.
All these Pfizer warrants were against him.
Did you know you were being spied on?
Well, there were reports.
Again, it's all spin, Sean.
You know, before the election, uh back in October 2016, they started, you know, leaking that there was some Pfizer activity going on.
So I think that's the first time we started hearing about it.
Just as a way to suspend the Trump campaign.
Did you suspect it was you?
Well, yeah, I I was specifically mentioned in those.
Yep.
Um, so let's to the extent you can tell us.
So you get called in for the first time to Muller's office.
Just walk us through it.
You don't have to give us all the specifics.
Tell people what that's like.
Well, you know, Sean, I mean, I am fighting some big battles with the U.S. Department of Justice, and I'm just uh a little guy.
You know, it's me against dozens of a of attorneys in uh in the U.S. Department of Justice uh on my civil case.
You know, I have a case uh which they again did false pleadings to a court.
And so, you know, I I'm uh again, I was happy to talk with them last year.
You know, I uh I gave um all the information that they're asking for, and you know, my my main focus right now with DOJ and is with uh trying to get them to come clean with their false testimony and actually in the Southern District of New York.
You know, I have my case against the U.S. government.
Last question are you gonna sue all these individuals?
Is Joe de Geneva suggesting now that that you there's more massive civ civil liability for all of these people involved in this?
Uh eventually, Sean, yes.
And I but I I wanna I want our country to be fixed first.
There's much more urgent uh things on the horizon, particularly coming up to this uh critical election that you've been talking about.
So the more uh the more information that gets out there the better.
And that's uh that's a urgent process.
All right, Carter Page, thanks for being with us.
We'll hit the phones when we get back on this Friday, and a little Florida Georgia line and Zach Brown band uh Friday fun coming up, our Friday concert series continues.
That's next.
My buddy Big Time AJ from Houston, Texas will put a smile on your face.
Big time AJ, Houston, Texas.
What's going on, baby?
Big time show!
Hey, big time, wait a minute.
What's going on?
I'm trying to figure out what on Twitter they won't let me follow my people back.
You know, big mouth uh mound bank is I'm saying is maybe because I'm a Trump supporter and a conservative.
Listen, all this stuff about social media is true.
I mean, it's social media is we saw the Google tape this week, and it they it was like a funeral that they were having after Donald Trump got elected, and then a report that they were doing outreach before the election, which I would argue could be an in-kind donation.
They can say anything they won't, and they the media don't even say a word about it.
I mean, come on.
I mean, they persecuting our president, but hey, where is the rhino republicans at?
I mean, here we are.
John, look what you do.
Look what everybody, everybody, a rush.
Oh, yeah.
No, what is the Republicans?
America asked where the Republicans at.
Well, next week I am going to have a path to victory for 2018.
I'll do it myself.
They're incapable, I guess, of doing it on their own, but I'm gonna lay it out and the path that I think they need to take if they want to if they want to win extra seats in the Senate, which are they are absolutely winnable.
And the next thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna bring up, you know, I'm gonna do a compare and contrast.
This is an America under them.
This is what it's gonna happen if Republicans win.
And believe me, I'm asking people to vote for some Republicans that that truly suck.
It's just they're not gonna be involved in the impeachment and the endless investigations.
They'll vote to cut taxes.
They'll do the fundamentals.
They're not great, but they'll do the things we need them to do.
So but at this point, we don't have a choice.
If the Democrats get the house, they're gonna impeach the president, period.
Hey, Sean, we we the Trump voters, we're gonna push him over the line, the finish line.
But after we win this November election, it will be a red wave.
Everybody hear me.
A red wave is coming.
After that, we kicking all them rainos out of there.
We can't.
Well, listen, the best thing to do is win the primaries and get better people, especially in the safe seats that you can win easily, you know, and people that would join the freedom caucus.
I gotta run big time.
Thank you.
Oh, I haven't heard from her in ages, but my nephews steal her phone all the time and they text me.
Hello, Velma.
How are you?
I'm good.
How you doing?
How's Marcel and Anthony, my two nephews?
They're doing wonderfully.
They you know Anthony, well, you already know he's playing football.
No, me and Anthony had a good discussion about football.
He's a wide receiver.
And I was giving him some uh tips on how to be a good wide receiver.
Oh, you such a great uncle.
Well, why does why do they have to steal your phone?
Why haven't you gotten your kids a phone yet?
Because Sean, because I know that I tell now Marcel is a little better.
Anthony would take that phone and and and text you and text you and text you.
I'm not gonna so I'm not gonna answer every single text.
I don't have time to, but I'll do I'll answer when I can.
But the thing of it is until I see more responsibility there, he will be.
How old is he?
He's eleven.
Yeah, it's time for for you.
Uncle Sean can get him a phone for Christmas this year.
Uh uh, he's not ready yet.
When he gets ready for it, I'll get him one.
Well, the bottom line is you can't stop me.
I'm the uncle.
You can't tell me that what I can and can't get them.
But I'm the mother.
You're the mother, but you're like uh yeah, you know, you're just a worry wart, and you're just constantly holding these kids back, and you just you know, you gotta understand kids need their phone.
They don't need a phone, they have a mother that's always here.
They have a father.
Yeah, but you don't wait a minute.
You don't let them use their phone because as soon as they steal your phone and start texting me, you're then writing me, don't write them back.
Don't listen to them.
I'm sorry that they keep texting you.
I sure do.
That's what as a mother, that's what I'm supposed to do.
Belma, you sound like you're down in the dumps.
What's the matter?
You should be happy.
It's a Friday.
I am, yeah, but I'm tired.
You have to remember now your your your friend is getting old, honey.

I tried it once or twice.
I'm telling you, it's not for me.
I'm not into it.
I don't know what kind of body you got that you don't like that.
I have a kind of body that's kind of busted up right now from all my martial arts.
My fingers are busted, my neck is killing me, my shoulders killing me.
That's why you need it.
Nah, but I uh I don't want a stranger touching me.
I don't know who are you?
Get your hands off me.
That's how I feel.
You know what?
They make you feel very good.
They talk, they're very friendly.
Oh, yeah, I love it.
You mean they talk their way through it?
Well, yeah, you know, anybody.
They're on the up and up.
They they don't, you know, you have like what do you wear?
Do you wear a towel?
You don't wear anything.
You don't wear anything.
Let me see.
What did I have on?
I don't think I had on anything.
So you're just you're just laying down.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're laying there naked.
I think they do put something around you.
But you have to undress.
I think they did.
But Sean, they don't they only expose the part what they what they're doing.
They're very, very, very professional.
So that you're almost naked then.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what?
I don't like showing my body.
But like I say, like I say, it's so relaxing and so cold.
Well, Linda was describing what it's like to get a uh spray tan.
You know they have the spray tan booths now.
Well, I don't need a tan.
Yeah, I well, I I I I could use one.
I have though I have translucent Irish legs.
Oh Lord, yeah.
Well, see, I don't wear out we I got a natural tan.
Well, I got it because I've been fishing and you know, playing golf like every other month.
Well, Velmus, we'll stay on hold.
We'll take care of that for you.
Happy birthday, love.
We uh we thank the world of you.
I don't care.
We don't have time.
Well, next time have time because I want to talk to you about, you know, we used to have so much fun on Twitter, and we need to get back to that silver discord.
We need to stop all of this.
Bickering, it doesn't matter.
I tell people all the time.
I love Sean.
I don't agree with Sean politically, but I love him.
It's easy to love him.
I don't understand how people can be so nasty and mean because they don't agree with what you agree with.
We have to learn how to talk to one another, how to respect one another.
I actually stopped all my Twitter fighting, and most of the tweets that go out, my you know, I'm aware they're going out, but they're just you know, tweets from the website and whatever.
But I mean, I don't do them myself.
I used to fight with everybody on Twitter.
It got to it got to be a full-time job.
I couldn't do it anymore.
I know it, especially for youth.
You've got to admit, though, my Twitter fights were classics.
We're gonna take time one day, next week, a week after next, and we can discuss that stuff.
But let me tell you one thing.
I went to the South.
This man is from New York.
He owned the El Dorada Hotel.
I stayed there a couple of days.
He loved you.
He loved you, he watched your show.
I can't, you know, I'm old, I can't think of his name.
But he owns that hotel.
He runs that hotel.
He's the manager there.
And he What were you doing with a man in a hotel like that?
I stayed at a hotel for a couple of days in the house.
You're staying in a hotel with a man you're not married to?
No, I was saying my husband was there, my husband in the kitchen.
Oh, oh, oh, I thought you were staying with some stranger.
This man that owns a hotel.
Sean, because of you, people know who I am.
You know, and so I know you're famous.
Well, I don't know if I'm famous, but they know they and they everybody in your church knows we're friends, and nobody agrees with me.
But they still they care for you too because of the fact that you're so good to me and my kids.
So they love me so they have to care about you too.
Exactly.
And then they have to pray for me.
Well, even pray for that Hannity guy.
Uh, you know what?
And people said it.
I'm gonna pray for your friend Sean.
I said, please do.
I pray for him daily.
Well, they're out to kill me, so don't worry about it.
It's fine.
They're not gonna Okay, honey.
