| December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport. | |
| The holiday rush. | |
| Parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. | |
| Then everything changed. | |
| There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. | |
| Just a chaotic, chaotic scene. | |
| In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. | |
| Terrorism. | |
| Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. | |
| Our best of Sean Hannity is on now. | |
| Where we're coming to your city. | |
| Come and play our guitars and sing you a come to song. | |
| We'll all be flying high in a jail, I know. | |
| And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along. | |
| Every single day, reality calls, and the Biden administration just hangs up. | |
| You know, the C in RNC doesn't stand for committee. | |
| It stands for cult. | |
| It's not the Republican National Committee. | |
| It's the Republican National Cult. | |
| This is a story of a country that got through this pandemic by being united and a few people shouting and waving swastikas does not define who Canadians are. | |
| Freedom is back in style. | |
| Welcome to the Revolution. | |
| Yeah, we're coming to your center. | |
| Come and play our guitars and sing you a come to song. | |
| Sean Hennity, the new Sean Hannity Show. | |
| More behind-the-scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America. | |
| This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines. | |
| Day number 188. | |
| All right, our two Sean Hannity show, 800-941, Sean. | |
| On number, you want to be a part of the program. | |
| You know, I never thought we'd have a president of the United States as Joe Biden. | |
| Well, forget about the Uyghur minority persecution that's going on in China and forced labor camps in China. | |
| And Joe Biden says, well, they just have different norms than us. | |
| And I think probably even worse than that, if you can outdo that, is Nancy Pelosi telling our athletes not to protest in China. | |
| You better be quiet. | |
| They may get mad at you and everything. | |
| I would say to our athletes, you're there to compete. | |
| Do not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government because they are ruthless. | |
| I know there is a temptation on the part of some to speak out while they are there. | |
| I respect that, but I also worry about what the Chinese government might do. | |
| That's really the land of the free and the home of the brave. | |
| All right, joining us now, Herschel Walker. | |
| He is running for the U.S. Senate from the great state of Georgia. | |
| He's a friend of mine. | |
| I've endorsed him. | |
| He would be a phenomenal senator, as well as, of course, NFL player. | |
| He's been playing football, probably the best running, one of the best running backs of all time in the game of football. | |
| Even, by the way, did mixed martial arts. | |
| He even was a former bobsledder and sprinter, knows a lot about the Olympics. | |
| And he represented the United States as an athlete in the 1992 Winter Olympics and was one of, he says it was one of the proudest moments of his life. | |
| He had the honor of being part of the official U.S. delegation to the Torino Games in 2006. | |
| And as a former Olympian and U.S. delegate, he's seen firsthand the hard work, dedication it takes to compete and would not want to punish athletes by a boycott. | |
| But yet he says the leaders, our leaders, are attempting to silence our athletes and completely letting the communist Chinese government off the hook. | |
| The day before the opening ceremony in Beijing, he cited Nancy Pelosi warning our athletes not to risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government by speaking honestly about China. | |
| He said, I asked myself, what is she hoping to accomplish? | |
| Why is she saying this now? | |
| Anyway, Herschel Walker joins us now. | |
| By the way, you've set up a really cool team Herschel website. | |
| I just saw it. | |
| It was pretty cool. | |
| Well, thank you, Sean. | |
| And anyone that wants to continue to contribute to my campaign because I'm going to win this seat, get America back to some normalcy. | |
| And I'm glad you played that because that was totally, totally, I didn't understand it. | |
| And I'm not sure whether she's saying it for China or saying it for the U.S. Because why will you award a country like China that brought a pandemic on the world the Olympics? | |
| And I think it's sad. | |
| And yet when you do award them with the Olympics, why are she making a speech like that when they continue to do a lot of business with China? | |
| So was it for China or was it for our athletes? | |
| And then yet, we didn't even send a delegation over to represent our athletes. | |
| They're here safe, and she's wanting our athletes to be quiet. | |
| Oh, I don't get it because that doesn't sound like the land of the free, the home of the brave, and the courage of Americans that tend to speak out for people that can't speak out for themselves. | |
| Sean, think about this. | |
| Did she warn the athletes not to anneal for the American anthem or the flag of America? | |
| You know, we're a great country, but yet you have all the things going on in China with the slave labor and everything going on there. | |
| And she's telling our athletes not to speak out against that. | |
| But what about speaking out against one of the greatest countries in the world? | |
| I mean, that's the thing. | |
| I mean, if you were at these Olympics, would you speak out? | |
| Well, you know, I would continue to be proud to be at the Olympics, but I would be respectful. | |
| And I'm not sure. | |
| And that was a very tough question for me at first. | |
| Because the question I would ask is, why would we award China with the Olympics? | |
| It could have been moved. | |
| They moved the All-Star game within a couple of weeks by the voting thing. | |
| Well, you're going to tell me right now you're not going to move the Olympics with so much that's going on there that this pandemic has hurt the world. | |
| It didn't just hurt the United States. | |
| It hurt the world. | |
| And yet we said they're doing opening ceremonies and showing putting China on display at this great, great place. | |
| But it's not. | |
| So whether I would have went, it would have been a tough decision because I do have a team. | |
| But I think I would have spoke out. | |
| I think I had to speak out because I believe I love the Lord Jesus And the things that's going on in China is not right. | |
| And I think it'll be, it would have been against my religion not to speak out. | |
| That's the reason I decided to run. | |
| People think I'm running and put a feather in my cap. | |
| I'm not running for that. | |
| I'm running because of all the inflation, all the terrible crime that has picked up in this state and not just in the state of Georgia, but in this country that people are not seen to stand up and fight against. | |
| You know, I look at what's going on and I look at who's getting hurt the most. | |
| I've been spending a lot of time on the economy. | |
| I mean, if you look at every aspect of American life, we have one leading economist now saying this 40-year high, higher than even last month, is now, he says inflation is now over 10% if we use the calculation methods that were used by the Labor Department in 1990. | |
| Biden's inflation is nearly twice as high as worker wage gains. | |
| Then you look at the price of the pump, every item we buy in every store we go to. | |
| Heating and cooling our homes is costing a fortune more. | |
| It's sadly, disproportionately, negatively impacting the poor and the middle class. | |
| They can't afford this. | |
| You look at the borders are a disaster. | |
| You look at energy prices are artificially high because of Joe's disastrous energy policies of eliminating energy independence and exploration and drilling and the Keystone XL pipeline and more. | |
| Then you look at him on foreign policy. | |
| I see nothing but failure all around the world. | |
| And I see that our allies are scared to death. | |
| And I see that our enemies are emboldened. | |
| I've never seen it this pad, Herschel. | |
| And, you know, this is not my first rodeo. | |
| I've been doing this a little while. | |
| Well, it's going to get worse until we start putting the right people in office that's going to change it, that's going to say the buck stops here. | |
| And that's what I've been saying. | |
| Guys, I'm sick of it. | |
| I'm not going to let them do that. | |
| I own a business. | |
| I don't spend more than I make. | |
| And most of all, I'm not going to spend things on privileged things. | |
| You know, you look at this infrastructure bill and it's on trees. | |
| You know, it's on climate control. | |
| Yeah, we do need to fix our roads and bridges and different things like that. | |
| But when you start putting a lot of these social programs into this bill and spending all this money on that money we don't even have, I think that's a sad. | |
| That's coming from the taxpayer. | |
| I hope everybody realizes that. | |
| That's coming from the taxpayer. | |
| And then when he leaves us, we're not energy independent no more. | |
| And I try to explain that to someone. | |
| I said, guys, from my business, I own a business, and I'm not trying to make any more money than I was making before. | |
| But I cannot pay more for the gas without passing it on to my customer. | |
| I don't want to give him more money. | |
| The feed, I'm having to pay for it. | |
| You know, I go to this store now, and the shelves are bare. | |
| There's no food on the shelf. | |
| And you're talking about what is going on. | |
| The supply line is drying up. | |
| And I want the people to know that we cannot continue to go like this. | |
| And what we have to do is get those people out of office. | |
| We have to get them out of office. | |
| And I'll tell you what's so sleek about what's going on. | |
| And I hate to say the loud. | |
| They would say something. | |
| You heard this about the crackpipe. | |
| That is totally true. | |
| They made a statement that they were going to show racial equity by giving people a crackpite. | |
| And I'm like, why don't you give people rehabilitation? | |
| Instead of trying to keep them down, why don't you help to lift them up by saying I want to get them off of that? | |
| Instead of giving people a crack pipe to keep them down. | |
| And that's what they want to do. | |
| The government wants to continue to give you something to keep you down on your knees rather than helping you to get back up on your feet. | |
| I cannot, for the life of me, understand because if you're doing crack, if you're doing meth, if you're doing heroin, you're basically committing suicide. | |
| Why would one tax dollar be used in any way to aid, abet, and assist in that suicide? | |
| If you're going to spend the money, and I'm not sure they would be, I don't trust the government to do or run anything efficiently. | |
| They bankrupted Social Security, Medicare. | |
| They can't keep law and order and people safe and secure in lots of big cities all across the country. | |
| Obamacare promises were a disaster as well. | |
| Our schools in many places are an utter disaster. | |
| And so now we're going to trust them to what? | |
| Administer any type of counseling. | |
| And in San Francisco, they're actually proposing that everybody adopt a homeless person. | |
| The first person I want to see adopting is Nancy Pelosi. | |
| John, I'll tell you what's even worse about that. | |
| And I said, I want people to stop and think about this. | |
| And making that statement about the crackpack, what they talk about is they say, hey, we're going to make it racial equity. | |
| That means do all black people smoke crack. | |
| And with the ID, they're making it like all black people are smart enough to get an ID. | |
| It's like all this is about separation. | |
| It's about separation all the time. | |
| That's seeing what they want to do. | |
| And then when the people speak out, they walk it back a little bit and say, oh, no, we really didn't mean that. | |
| No, you did mean that. | |
| You said that. | |
| You know, it's just like when I heard the statement about electing a black Supreme Court justice. | |
| Yeah, why don't you elect someone who is qualified for the job? | |
| I'm not saying a black person won't be qualified. | |
| They're qualifying. | |
| Elect them, but you don't have to tell us whether they're black, whether they're white, whether they're Asian. | |
| Just elect the person that is qualified and quick bringing race involved in it. | |
| Race is on us to try to separate people. | |
| All right, quick break more with Herschel Walker as we continue, and then we'll get to your calls, 800-941-SEAN. | |
| As we continue with Georgia's senatorial candidate, Herschel Walker. | |
| You know, one of the things you told me when you first announced is that you don't care if a person's a Democrat, Republican, conservative, liberal, that you are going into every single crevice and corner within the great state of Georgia, and you want to meet every person, and you want to tell them why you're running and why this is important to you. | |
| How has that message gone over when you've been in, say, more predominantly Democratic areas of Atlanta? | |
| That message has gone over well because the people of Atlanta know that I represent all the people. | |
| I don't just represent a party, whether you're Republican, Democrat, or Independent. | |
| I represent you all. | |
| And that's what I've been trying to get the people to see. | |
| And I think they know that. | |
| They're showing that through the poll number. | |
| They're going to show that when I get to the election, that Herschel Walker is what he does, what he says, say what he do. | |
| And that's the way I've always lived. | |
| You know, I'm not in this for a feather in my cap. | |
| I see that there's a problem, and I want to fix the problem, not just talk about the problem, and continue to kick that can down the road. | |
| I hear that all the time. | |
| People want to kick the can down the road because they don't want to finish the task. | |
| I'm here to finish the task. | |
| That means get people back to work. | |
| That meaning become energy independent again. | |
| Get the kids back in school. | |
| You know, we got to educate our young people over the world. | |
| And I can tell you right now, the United States of America is the greatest country in the world. | |
| And we can keep it that way by putting the right people in office that's going to stand up against all this terrible things that they're the policies that they're making right now, which is against the United States of America. | |
| And, Sean, we got a Super Bowl coming up. | |
| And I was like, that's the only place you're going to go where you're going to see people, it doesn't matter about your skin color, they're going to be having a great time. | |
| They're going to have a wonderful time. | |
| You're going to see two teams step out there and play. | |
| You got some players from Georgia on those teams. | |
| They ain't going to worry about whether you're white and black. | |
| They're going to go out there and win a football game and have a good time. | |
| All right. | |
| Who are you predicting? | |
| Where's your prediction? | |
| Hey, do not put me on that spot. | |
| And people get mad because I'm going to have to. | |
| Look at the bright side. | |
| It's not the Falcons. | |
| I know you're the biggest on both of those teams, Sean. | |
| I got players on. | |
| I got players from the Rams on. | |
| And I'm not going to select one over the other, but I can tell you what. | |
| All right, so what you're saying to me is you're pulling for the players on the Georgia Bulldogs team where you played, or Georgia players in general. | |
| You're pulling for them, period. | |
| I'm pulling for them. | |
| I want to see them do well because, you know what, they're my family. | |
| Have you talked to any of them? | |
| The team are my family, but Joe Burrell is my family too. | |
| You know, he's the Heisenberg trophy winner. | |
| So you ask me who I'm pulling for. | |
| I'm pulling for it to be a great game. | |
| I'm happy that these two teams are in the playoffs. | |
| You know, for Joe Burrows to go in as early, he's going in now. | |
| Matthew Stafford, who I've seen since he was young, I saw him play in high school. | |
| Then he goes to the University of Georgia. | |
| Sonny Michelle. | |
| Let me ask you this. | |
| When you're watching the football game, is there a part of you that wishes you were still playing? | |
| No, no, no. | |
| It's Sean. | |
| I'm going to mention something right here. | |
| I'm going to tell you this, and I probably wouldn't have said this if you had interviewed me a month ago. | |
| What I'm doing right now is the best thing I've ever done in my life. | |
| It is the best thing I've ever done in my life because I go into these places and meet with young people and talk to the people and stuff. | |
| And I give them hope. | |
| I give them hope because they see what's going on in this country and they're afraid. | |
| They're scared. | |
| You know, the other day I spoke to people about mental health and people, I asked a young lady crying to me how I helped her. | |
| I helped her to feel better. | |
| I give her hope. | |
| So I tell people that people that are taking these pot shots and think that they can go out and go after me and stuff. | |
| And I said, bring it on because I'm doing something that I'm helping people now to feel better. | |
| And that's what God has put me here. | |
| So I told them to bring it because the harder you come, the harder I'm going to fight. | |
| And I told people this a long time ago. | |
| Herschel Walker can fight. | |
| And I'm going to fight for this country right now. | |
| So I tell them to bring it on because they've never seen me fight. | |
| They can fight behind the pen. | |
| But you know what? | |
| I'm fighting for the people. | |
| Listen, I've worked out with you just briefly in studio one time. | |
| You're fit. | |
| That's not a fight I'm picking with you. | |
| I'll tell you that right now. | |
| This is the country we're fighting about now. | |
| You know what? | |
| It's Team USA, right? | |
| You have Team Herschel? | |
| This is Team USA. | |
| I agree completely, my friend. | |
| All right, Herschel Walker, by the way, people want to read up on you. | |
| Where do they find you? | |
| They can go to teamhearschel.com, and I want them to come and be a part of teamhearser.com. | |
| Let's get America back again. | |
| Let's get people to go to the store. | |
| Let's get this crime down. | |
| Let's quit spending money we don't have, get our kids back in school. | |
| You can get it by going to teamhearser.com. | |
| All right, my friend. | |
| Look forward to seeing the game on Sunday. | |
| 800-941. | |
| Sean, you want to be a part of the program? | |
| Quick break, right back. | |
| Hey, you're listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| We'll have more of your favorite guests, topics, and memorable moments. | |
| That's all coming up. | |
| You are listening to the best of The Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Sean Hannity talks to the people involved in the top stories of the day. | |
| Every day, Sean Hannity is on. | |
| All right, 25 now to the top of the hour, 800-941. | |
| Sean, you want to be a part of the program? | |
| Now, we have pointed out and covered probably more than any other show in great detail and great specificity the spying that took place with Donald Trump. | |
| Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for. | |
| Dirty dossier, Russian dossier, with this information, now totally debunked and used on four separate occasions in spite of all the warnings and admonitions that it was not verified. | |
| Now we know it's unverifiable. | |
| The people that signed off on those warrants never verified the information, which means that they lied to the court. | |
| Nobody's been held accountable. | |
| And they used it to spy on candidate Trump, transition team Trump, and then later President Trump. | |
| Now we have this new spy scandal. | |
| And it doesn't matter all along the way when Donald Trump made the allegation that they spied on me. | |
| So the biggest scandal was when they spied on my campaign. | |
| They spied on my campaign. | |
| There's no real evidence of that. | |
| Of course there is. | |
| It's all over the place. | |
| Leslie, they spied on my campaign and they got to. | |
| Can I say something? | |
| You know, this is 60 minutes, and we can't put on things we can't put it on because it's bad for Biden. | |
| We can't put on things we can't verify. | |
| Leslie, they spied on my campaign. | |
| Well, we can't verify. | |
| Now, this issue with Sussman is very different. | |
| Again, he's innocent until proven guilty. | |
| We always say that about anybody, but you make your own assumptions. | |
| He's being charged with lying to the FBI. | |
| And when you look at the exact words of what Durham's court filings say, you know, about Michael Sussman, charged with lying to the FBI about his work on behalf of Hillary Clinton. | |
| And he was a lawyer at large at a large international law firm, Perkins Cooey, and that he was serving as a counsel to the Clinton campaign. | |
| That is where he got himself into the trouble with James Baker. | |
| The document continues that the defendant, Mr. Sussman's billing records reflect that the campaign defendant repeatedly billed the Clinton campaign for his work. | |
| And the defendant assembled and conveyed allegations about Donald Trump to the FBI on behalf of at least two specific clients, including a technology executive at a U.S.-based internet company and the Clinton campaign. | |
| And then that these allegations were, I know people have been quoting Kash Patel. | |
| It was not in Durham's filing, as was rightly pointed out by the New York Times for once. | |
| It wasn't infiltrated. | |
| That was never used in the filing of Durham. | |
| But they, quote, were exploited. | |
| In other words, the information that they obtained, exploited from internet data mined at, quote, a particular health care provider, Trump Tower, Donald Trump's Central Park West apartment building, and the executive office of the President of the United States. | |
| In other words, they were mining and exploiting data from the Trump White House and Drum Tower, etc. | |
| And the filing goes on that the defendant further claimed that these lookups demonstrated that Trump and or his associates were using supposedly rare Russian-made wireless phones in the vicinity of the White House and other locations. | |
| Those claims about Trump and Russia were completely bogus. | |
| But the spying allegations detailed in the filing, well, they ring true to me based on what we already know. | |
| But that's going to be decided in a court of law, not by Sean Hannity. | |
| But I will tell you, the amazing thing about this is you've got a respected federal prosecutor, and nobody in the media wants to cover this story. | |
| Now, here's how the media dismissed and were mocking Donald Trump for saying that he was spied on. | |
| Our conspiracy theory, president, is at it again. | |
| And whenever something like this happens, I wonder what are the president's sources of information? | |
| Where is he getting these ideas? | |
| This central conspiracy theory that animates Donald Trump's entire presidency that he was spied on. | |
| President Trump in a Twitter tirade accusing the former president of spying on him at Trump Tower by wiretapping phones, but offering no evidence or even what prompted those allegations. | |
| We have been living in really through the Trump campaign and unto this hour, this alternative reality. | |
| The way that Donald Trump seems to think about what a president can do feels very Nixonian, that he has a much more inflated view of a president's powers for him to believe that a president could even, in theory, because the election is on, go in and tap her opponent, tap the opponent of his preferred candidate. | |
| Trump's mind is a little bit of a mystery to me. | |
| Okay, that's the mob. | |
| That's the media. | |
| Our friend Doug Collins, former congressman from Georgia, and he's right, he made the statement, we need more answers from the Durham probe. | |
| Here's what he said. | |
| There's a lot of blanks, and I think that's the big, you've just hit on the perfect reason that this investigation needs to continue, and we need more answers from it. | |
| This was just not a lawyer who was doing this on the side. | |
| This was groups that concertedly said, number one, we've got a terrible candidate, Hillary Clinton. | |
| We're not going to beat Donald Trump. | |
| We've got to tie him to Russia somehow and progress this narrative. | |
| But what disturbs me even more, Steve, though, is this kind of wiretapping, this kind of packing is not something that would go unnoticed. | |
| So my question is, is, you know, why was there silence? | |
| Why is there silence in the mainstream media? | |
| But also, are they also covering up for the fact that the intelligence community, DOJ, Comey, Struck, Page, Orr, Clapper, Brennan, all these who were complicit, did they know about it? | |
| If they knew about it, they kept it quiet. | |
| This is much bigger. | |
| And these questions need to be answered because we do not need a government working against us. | |
| I think we saw during that time. | |
| We were bringing this out. | |
| It's now time to put the real players to test. | |
| I mean, this is getting very, very interesting. | |
| Now, there was a six-page response to the filing of John Durham and basically saying that all this is BS, saying, quote, these allegations are irrelevant to the charge offense and are plainly intended to politicize the case, inflame media coverage, and taint the jury pool. | |
| Keep in mind, though, this isn't a spying allegation that the Clinton campaign is facing. | |
| What it sounds like to me, what I'm totally guessing and speculating here, it sounds like they're looking for a flip here. | |
| In other words, they're basically saying there might be more charges to come. | |
| It'll be interesting to see if Durham responds to the response of Sussman. | |
| Again, innocent though proven guilty. | |
| We stick by that rule under every set of circumstances, regardless of whether people like it or not. | |
| And it's just going to be interesting to watch and observe and find and see. | |
| Anyway, Doug Collins is with us now, former congressman from Georgia. | |
| How are you, sir? | |
| I'm great, Sean. | |
| How are you doing? | |
| I'm good. | |
| Now, the headline of Durham is simple. | |
| Now, if, and I say if, he proves his case, we know that in the previous instance, and I don't know of any involvement in Sussman in that case, that the Clinton machine, we know they spied on Trump. | |
| We know that through the dirty dossier and how that was used by top officials in the intelligence community, FBI especially, to lie to a FISA court. | |
| And they got FISA warrants that allowed a backdoor spying through Carter Page. | |
| But if this is true and the case is proven, then the only conclusion I can come up with is that they spied on Trump. | |
| What's your take? | |
| It is. | |
| I mean, it's becoming more and more of a fact now. | |
| I think what you just said about Flip is probably very true, whether Sussman is enough to, you know, have enough evidence to flip or not, but he is involved in lying about issues surrounding this. | |
| Sean, the bigger issue is what the clip you played a few minutes ago, and that's something you and I have talked about over the years, is what was the involvement of the intelligence community and the DOJ? | |
| Know that this started as a cover-up of Clinton's emails. | |
| We know that the timing, we know when Strzok was involved, we know when this all began to form. | |
| And we also know now, thanks to some declassified documents from John Ratcliffe and others, that President Obama and Vice President Biden were briefed on the plan by Clinton. | |
| So the question I have is: was it a complicit act by the federal government during the Obama five years and the DOJ all the way up into the Trump years? | |
| And if so, where is that part of the investigation at this point? | |
| And that's why you notice I haven't heard Comey or Strzok or anybody else say a word in the past week or so. | |
| McKay, Baker, maybe they're worried. | |
| And if it's true, they should be. | |
| It sounds like Durham, as slow as he's been, and I don't think he can get any slower. | |
| It sounds like he is at least indicating through this background filing and factual finding that he's going to present an assessment case, which is what this filing was all about, that he's onto something much, much bigger than what was previously known that he was into or what he might have known. | |
| That's what it sounds like to me when I read Durham's filing. | |
| What do you read? | |
| Yeah, I do too. | |
| I think because he has been, you know, talk about slow. | |
| I mean, glaciers move at a faster pace. | |
| Especially how much we've known, John, about this case. | |
| This is what makes it really interesting to me. | |
| It's how much we've known that we put out, that, you know, folks like Ratcliffe and Jordan and myself and Nunez, we all put this stuff out. | |
| We were seeing it. | |
| We couldn't put the docs together because we didn't have the resources to do it. | |
| But we knew it was happening by what was coming out. | |
| I think this is an interesting move by John Durham. | |
| He's not done this before. | |
| He sort of telegraphed ahead to what he's looked up and found. | |
| And I think it's sending a signal across the board if someone has not been cooperating or someone has something that they want to come forward with now. | |
| Now's your time. | |
| And if you notice how he worded in his documents, he said, we expect to prove. | |
| And Durham, I don't think would use those words unless he had the receipt, so to speak, on this. | |
| So it's going to be interesting. | |
| I think he's sending a message to those out there saying this is nowhere close to over. | |
| But he also knows he's dealing with a syndicate, so to speak, of the Clinton machine that is deeper than anything we've ever seen in modern political history. | |
| But the bottom line is that they used a dossier that was not only full of lies, Hillary Clinton paid for it, but it's unverifiable because it's filled with lies. | |
| How come the people that signed off, very high-ranking people, for example, of the four FISA applications, James Comey signed off on three of them. | |
| Rod Rosenstein signed off on the last one. | |
| By that time, we had heard from the sub-source, and I believe Steele even walked it back himself. | |
| But the sub-source for the dossier or collection of documents that later became known as the dossier, that, in fact, the sub-source said that was just bar talk. | |
| That was never meant for public consumption. | |
| We were just screwing around, you know, like two hookers urinating in Donald Trump's room at the Rich Carlton in Moscow, which never happened. | |
| Yeah, that one has been the classic case of Sean that I've not understood for years. | |
| How Comey with his preceded Superman cape on, you know, saving the world, was actually messing over the world because he was sort of leading this. | |
| And you had McCabe, you had Struck, you had paid, you had this whole moral cabal at DOJ. | |
| Plus, now that we found out even more, the complicitness of the intelligence community with Brennan and Clapper, why they've never been charged is a mystery to me. | |
| I don't know if maybe Durham or others are holding out to say, you know, we're going to bring this in in a different route. | |
| But that one is the one that makes people really sit back. | |
| Your listeners, folks that we listen all the time, they sit back and they say there's two systems of justice in this country. | |
| The ones, I mean, those were things that should have never happened and yet have never been charged. | |
| So my only hope is, like with his last filing, is that there's going to be some resolution to those outstanding issues. | |
| But I mean, look, it's amazing what you saw when even when McCabe got fired and others to get there, you know, what DOJ does to protect its own. | |
| All right, quick break more with former congressman from Georgia, Doug Collins, as we continue. | |
| Broadcasting throughout the greatest country in the world. | |
| You are locked in on the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Show. | |
| All right, more with Doug Collins, former congressman from the great state of Georgia. | |
| The biggest thing that scares me in this country right now is the dual justice system. | |
| And I am very, very concerned. | |
| I don't believe we have equal justice anymore in this country under the law. | |
| I don't believe we have equal application of justice in this country under the law. | |
| I think we have a dual justice system. | |
| I mean, you can see it. | |
| You know, if you're a conservative and you're jaywalk or spit on the sidewalk, you're going to get 10 years in jail. | |
| If you're Hillary Clinton, you can pretty much get away with anything. | |
| If you're part of the Biden family syndicate, you could pretty much get away with anything. | |
| Because I can tell you this, Doug Collins, that if it was anybody with the last name Trump that did a deal with China, $1.5 billion with the Bank of China, and according to Peter Schweitzer's new book, that they also raked in another $31 million from China, | |
| if the Trump family took in $3.5 million from a Russian oligarch, the first lady, former first lady of Moscow, if Donald Trump was on tape, he was the vice president and said, you're not getting a billion dollars until you fire that prosecutor investigating my son who's being paid millions with no experience at all whatsoever, I think there'd be a very different reaction. | |
| And the fact is, there's not only a different reaction in terms of media, because they would be breathlessly reporting every aspect of it, but also in terms of justice under the law. | |
| Well, exactly, Sean. | |
| You've hit it perfectly. | |
| My question is, just switch the names, Don Jr. | |
| and Hunter Biden, or Eric Trump and Hunter Biden. | |
| It is a completely different standard. | |
| And Sean, I'm beginning to wonder. | |
| They bought this line so heavily after November 2016, they had also invested in Hillary and were so devastated that Donald Trump won that the media basically sold and now cannot find a place of repentance to come back and say, look, we still don't like Donald Trump, but we were wrong in these areas and we went with it. | |
| But they just continue and they believe the old adage, if you lie long enough, people will begin to say it's the truth. | |
| The problem is, and the hope is for some of us who still believe in the possibility of justice here, is that this Durham filing, the Durham latest announcement, although they've been definitely filing on it, they can at some point be silent on it because hopefully, you know, the indictments are going to come and the truth is going to be revealed. | |
| All right, Doug Collins, former congressman, great state of Georgia. | |
| Thank you so much for being with us. | |
