	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	It's news from South Florida tonight that the FBI has searched the home of the former president.
	Yeah, well, I know nothing about it other than what I've read like everybody else.
	No one is above the law, not even a president or former president of the United States.
	Perhaps in archival ink in the margin of tomorrow's paper.
	Note anniversary of Richard Nixon Nixon's resignation as president.
	People will get a kick out of that some some some years down the road.
	Freedom is back in style.
	Welcome to the Revolution.
	Yeah, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song Sean Hannity.
	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 three, 61.
	Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
	Alright, news roundup information overload hour, 800-941 Sean.
	If you want to be a part of the program, one of the things that we better start paying very close attention to is the are the tactics that are used to intimidate not just individuals, but really an entire political movement.
	You know, if you look at, for example, the treatment of Paul Manafort, for example.
	Paul Manafort was being charged with tax violations and an afara violation for crying out loud.
	Um we consider those things often to be process crimes.
	Pre-dawn raid, guns drawn, uh no knock, uh, boom, in your house early in the morning, guns in your face, guns in your your wife's face.
	That's what they did to Paul Manafort.
	It's a means of intimidating.
	Then of course they put him in solitary confinement for you know long periods of time uh time, uh, hoping that he would break and tell them what they wanted to hear, and then he would be offered something of great value, something called freedom in exchange for that.
	He chronicles it in his new book.
	If you haven't not gotten this book, it just it's out next week.
	You can get a first edition copy at Amazon.com Hannity.com.
	He tells his story.
	And then there was the raid with Roger Stone who's gonna join us here in a second.
	Roger Stone, well, what was he found guilty of?
	Obstruction of justice, false statements, witness tampering, and they wanted him to spend the rest of his life in jail and die in jail.
	But it's the same scenario.
	You've got you got all these guys, 30 guys plus, with guns drawn, pre-dawn raid, frogman in the back of his house.
	I guess he has water in the back of his house.
	And lo and behold, 5:30, 6 in the morning, whatever time it was, they just happened to have CNN cameras there to capture all of it on videotape.
	Here's some of the audio from that.
	Exclusive footage.
	You're looking at right now from CNN as the FBI arrives at Roger Stone's residence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, taking him into custody.
	We understand he will be arraigned in Fort Lauderdale later this morning, indicted on seven counts, one count of obstruction, five counts of making false statements, one count of witness tampering.
	Again, they arrived before dawn there before 6A or just after 6 a.m.
	A dozen officers were told the FBI agent shouted FBI warrant.
	Uh, and you can see it all play out right here.
	This is just remarkable.
	It's just remarkable to watch, you know, what they call that's an FBI.
	Open the door, and now they're about to say another warning.
	FBI warrant.
	Uh, this is called, you know, the the grab shot uh in the vernacular, and it is remarkable to watch this all unfold.
	You can see Roger Stone right there a little bit behind that door.
	And yes, you know, standard operating procedure for the FBI to show up heavily armed in riot gear, like this.
	Um but they didn't do this for other people connected in the investigation.
	So it is remarkable that they did this without warning, without any indication of Stone's lawyers beforehand that this would happen.
	We don't know also if they executed a search warrant on that.
	CNN cameras were tipped off to this pre-dawn raid with guns drawn, frogman in the backyard, and we're talking about process crimes.
	Now, why did that happen?
	Who tipped off the uh who tipped off CNN?
	They just happened to be by Roger Stone's house at 5 45 in the morning one morning, just a coincidence that they got the tape, or were they tipped off because they wanted the video out there to intimidate other people.
	Roger Stone lived through it and and but for the pardon of Donald Trump, I think he probably very likely would have died in jail just like Paul Manafort would have died in jail.
	I mentioned Paul's new book, Political Prisoner.
	Uh we had him on yesterday.
	I mean, to to hear his story should shock the conscience of this nation.
	And this story of Roger Stone is the same thing.
	He joins us now.
	Roger, how are you?
	Sean, great to be with you.
	Look, I have no real knowledge about any of the charges that were brought against you.
	That to me isn't even that that's that's not what this discussion is about.
	If you want to address it, feel free.
	The question is the tactics.
	I really think I need to, Sean.
	Let's be very clear.
	You go right ahead.
	I was charged with lying to Congress about Russian collusion that we now know didn't actually happen.
	Almost two years after I was pardoned, the Justice Department, at midnight on election day 2020, released the last remaining redacted sections of Robert Mueller's secret report in which he admitted that he found no evidence whatsoever against me regarding Russian collusion, collaboration with WikiLeaks, uh, or uh any involvement in the fishing and publication of John Podesta's emails.
	So the charges against me were fabricated to pressure me into testifying falsely against President Donald Trump.
	They wanted me to be an article of impeachment.
	Uh and you're right.
	At six o'clock in the morning, twenty-nine heavily armed FBI agents in full SWAT gear, every one of them branishing fully automatic M4 assault weapons, surround my home, storm my home to take me into custody.
	The special counsel's office had actually talked to my lawyers the day before.
	All they had to do was say, your client's being charged, tell him to turn himself in.
	And I would have.
	But uh here's the important thing people need to know.
	I was arrested at 606.
	At 61, a correspondent, Sarah Murray with CNN, contacts my lawyer by text to tell him I have been arrested.
	He doesn't even know.
	At six eleven, she sends him a copy of my sealed indictment, which was not unsealed by a federal magistrate until ten thirty that morning.
	How does CNN have my indictment at six eleven?
	I'll tell you how.
	There are no court markings or timestamps on the indictment, but when you go to the metadata tag, you find the initials of the man who wrote it.
	Andrew Weissman.
	The leaking of uh of a search warrant, an arrest warrant before it's been served is a felony.
	But the judge in my case could care less, and of course, Mr. Weissman will never face any charges.
	It's all about intimidation.
	So I brought this up with Bill O'Reilly earlier in the program today, and and I think you know me well enough to know that I'm a strong supporter of law enforcement.
	My family, uh the two guys that made it to the FBI in my extended family were deity when I was growing up.
	I had many, you know, relatives, distant relatives that were all members of the NYPD.
	My mom was a prison guard, my dad was a family court probation officer.
	And so I have a deep it's it's it's in my DNA, Roger, that I respect and love the law enforcement.
	And as somebody that has been so supportive and outspoken all these what, thirty-five years on radio and twenty-six plus years on Fox News, supportive of law enforcement, after all these witch hunts, all these political persecutions,
	including your case and the treatment of your case for a process crime, or Paul Manafort, or in the case now of Donald Trump, um I and based on the Russian hoax, and not one person was held accountable for lying to a Pfizer court, Not one person was held accountable for for the three years of outright lies they were telling the American people.
	I believe, unfortunately, the upper echelon, especially of our Justice Department and our F FBI.
	Their reputation is in tatters, rightly so, and I no longer can support uh these organizations until they bring real reform to these organizations, these institutions.
	Roger, how could any American trust this?
	No, i the the double the two-tier justice system is extraordinary.
	Henry Clinton uses bleach to destroy a hard drive that includes classified documents.
	She destroys multiple cell phones.
	The FBI investigates her, no charges are brought.
	By the way, Roger, where was the where was the pre-dawn raid at her house?
	Where's the pre-dawn raid at Hunter Biden's house?
	We know there are crimes on that laptop.
	Christopher Ray's had it for almost two years.
	No, that's why I was about to go.
	So he's taken in $10 million from Russia, from China, from U.S. companies, and are being harassed by the Department of Justice in a civil suit over our 2006 income taxes.
	I'm up to date in all my taxes.
	Other than that one year.
	Between penalties and interest, they now say I owe the IRS two million dollars.
	Seventy percent of that, Sean, is penalties and interest, and they won't negotiate any break in that simply because I'm Roger Stone.
	If I was just an average citizen, I could negotiate a payment plan.
	They say Stone won't pay his taxes.
	Sean, I paid $19,000 a month for seven years straight without ever missing a payment or being late on a payment until Robert Mueller bankrupted me.
	Then they sue you because you can't pay after they destroy your ability to make a living.
	I'll cost my car, my house, my savings, my insurance.
	As you know, my wife uh was diagnosed with stage four cancer, and thanks to the healing power of Jesus Christ, she's in perfect health today.
	She's cancer free.
	No, I feel blessed.
	I feel blessed because Donald Trump had the courage and the strength in an election year to see that I was a victim of a political hit job.
	I didn't break the law.
	I made misstatements under oath to the Congress, but none of them were material.
	None of them were relevant.
	There was no underlying crime to hide.
	There was no Russian collusion.
	There was no WikiLeaks collaboration.
	It was all about pressuring me to turn on Trump, which I refused to do.
	Which, by the way, is the exact same story that Paul Manafort tells in his book.
	I know your friends were Paul.
	Uh the book is terrific.
	Uh my own book will come out this Christmas.
	It's called Roger Stone Did Nothing Wrong.
	My political persecution and the loss of the 2020 election.
	It's a very similar tale to Paul Manafort.
	It's a little different, but Paul's book is terrific.
	I thought he looked great.
	Let's talk a little bit about what happened at Mar-a-Lago this week.
	Your thoughts.
	Absolutely outrageous.
	Uh the story in the New York Post by uh Andy McCarthy is completely incorrect.
	I've spoken to someone who's actually seen uh the subpoena.
	Uh this does uh regard documents.
	But if the if there's a dispute between the federal government and Donald Trump over the disposition and ownership of documents, then why wouldn't you bring that case in court?
	File a case to get the documents back.
	Uh I I understand the feeling of violation that Donald uh and Melania Trump feel right now.
	They were in my house for thirteen hours.
	They destroyed the place.
	They took they pulled out every drawer, dumped it on the floor.
	They took out all my wife's clothes, threw them on the floor.
	They took out every book in the bookshelves, threw it on the floor.
	If there was a picture hanging on the wall, Sean, they cut they punched out the frame to make sure you weren't hiding something inside the picture frame.
	Picture of my mother, they destroyed.
	I mean, uh i it it is and I found nothing, by the way.
	In the search of my home and the search of my office, in the search of my apartment in New York that I had at the time, which of course I no longer have, they found no evidence whatsoever against me, but they made a shambles to those places.
	They destroyed them, and then they just leave them as they were.
	My wife was forced to sit in the corner for thirteen hours, not allowed to touch her cell phone while they destroyed our home, simply because of the intimidation.
	They could find no evidence against you.
	Let me ask you this.
	So I would assume over the years and you're uh in politics that uh you were probably a pretty well off guy financially.
	Is that a fair assumption?
	Uh uh you don't have to give details.
	Well, I mean, I was.
	Uh Today, uh, you know, I'm living month to month.
	It's very hard when you're canceled.
	You know, I I once had a million followers on Twitter.
	Today I'm banned.
	I once had three point five million followers on Facebook.
	Today I am banned.
	I once had a hundred and twelve thousand followers on Instagram.
	Today I'm banned.
	So it's pretty hard to sell my books.
	Uh, or for people to see my podcasts.
	Uh they make it very difficult.
	We are we are slowly recovering.
	Uh, but yeah, I was doing pretty good, and that's why I was able to pay down my tax debt on a regular basis.
	But today, no, I we struggle month to month.
	There is not a month in which, because of the law fare by the left.
	My wife and I still had eleven totally baseless, fraudulent, unsubstantiated civil suits against us filed by Democrats, liberals, crackpots, nut jobs.
	Oh, wait a minute, I'm being redundant.
	Uh, that's called lawfair.
	They drag your name through the mud, they make you pay huge legal fees between our monthly legal fees, our very modest living expenses, and my wife's uninsured medical bills.
	There is not a month that goes by in which our bills are not greater than the amount of money that we make.
	It's it's not a month.
	It's it's an unbelievable story.
	Roger Stone, thanks for being with us.
	We will have you on when your book comes out.
	We look forward to it, and we really appreciate your time.
	Thank you.
	Sean, many, many thanks, and God bless you.
	God bless you and your wife as well.
	800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a 25 till the top of the hour, 800, 941 Sean on number.
	You want to be a part of the program.
	Amazing that, you know, Christopher Ray won't qu won't answer.
	It's such a sad state of affairs that Christopher Ray had every opportunity to restore this great institution, the FBI, to its once held greatness.
	But after, let's see, the dirty dossier, lying to Pfizer court judges, holding nobody accountable, putting in place no reforms whatsoever.
	Would it say he's done nothing to clean up the the bad actors within the FBI?
	How can anyone trust them?
	And by the way, no, the lawyers uh can only see a warrant from ten feet away at Mar-a-Lago, and they can't they can't watch us as we're collecting information.
	And oh, shut off your security cameras, which they didn't shut off, and now the FBI desperately wants them.
	Anyway, here's Ray answering that question.
	Former President Trump is raising the prospect of agents planning evidence in the NBS after his residents and all of the same his lawyers and allowing the search.
	Can you address that particularly as many of the supporters on issues of call laws and threats against your agents and search?
	Well, as I'm sure you can appreciate, that's not something that I can talk about, so I'd refer you to the department.
	Um threats.
	Um I will say that I'm always concerned about violence and threats of violence against law enforcement.
	Where was he in the summer of 2020?
	We were outspoken.
	Anybody, anybody threatens any law enforcement at any place, anytime, anywhere, where we speak out loudly.
	Where was he when uh Chuck Schumer was on the steps of the Supreme Court?
	Where was he when you know 2,000 cops were injured in the summer of 2020, pelted with bricks, rocks, bottles, Molotov cocktails, frozen water bottles?
	Where was he then?
	You know, why didn't he go after those people that used Hillary Clinton's dirty misinformation Russian dossier to lie to a Pfizer court not once but four times over the course of a year, and not a single person was held accountable?
	It's unbelievable.
	Listen to CNN uh talked to Trump supporters about the uh the raid.
	Listen to this.
	They don't want the truth.
	That's the bottom line.
	They don't want the truth.
	You don't think that's why they came here to Marilago to try and find out the truth and recover the archives?
	No.
	They are scared to death of Donald Trump.
	It's just a show.
	This is like maybe impeachment number four here for Trump.
	That's all it is.
	That's what I think.
	I mean, they didn't get it the first time, the Russian thing.
	They didn't get the second time, right?
	With Ukraine.
	They didn't get it the third time with January 6th.
	I think they're running, they know they're running out of time there.
	They raid a home, and CNN cameras are there, and some is past people.
	They they know what's going on.
	It's all for a show to make Trump so he cannot run again.
	You don't think that there was a real reason to come to show?
	It's not even think I know there's no real reason.
	I know it in my heart.
	I know it in my spirit.
	He has never lied about anything.
	That's fake news CNN.
	Here's the problems we have is, and this should scare every American, even if you're a liberal, if you're a Democrat, Republican, conservative, it should it shouldn't matter.
	If we don't have equal justice and equal application of our laws, we don't have a country.
	We don't have a constitution because every law is predicated on constitutional rights.
	And for example, you know, why isn't there been a raid on Hunter Biden's home?
	Christopher Reyes had Hunter Biden's laptop, and we know there's evidence of crimes on that laptop and evidence that Joe Biden himself lied to the American people about his real knowledge of Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings with countries like Ukraine and Russia and China.
	It might explain some of his behavior with these countries.
	Then in the case of Peter Navarro, Peter Navarro could have very easily walked into the January 6th committee and said, Pled the fifth.
	He decided not to.
	He's going to explain why in a minute.
	And then instead of just calling his lawyer and saying, please have Mr. Navarro report 8 a.m. tomorrow morning at this location.
	No, they have to they have to make a big show of it to show how big and tough and how they can intimidate people and harass people and put leg shackles on them, strip search them, and put handcuffs on them.
	Again, what was the it's a misdemeanor, you know, contempt of Congress.
	That's all it was.
	Anyway, Peter Navarro joins us now.
	Welcome uh to the show, sir.
	How are you?
	Sean, my friend, uh always good to talk to you, and but these are troubled times.
	Um you were really hitting on some really important things here, and I think that that my case deserves probably a little more attention out there in the broad press, given what's happened at Mar-a-Lago, because there's some there's some parallels here, Sean, and we didn't have a chance to get into it last night, but but let me re-break some news.
	I don't know if you're aware of this, but besides this criminal charge that the Justice Department has levied against me, they also filed a civil suit several weeks later.
	And what's interesting about that is it's all about the National Archives as the tip of their spear.
	And the just as there was no reason for the gendarmes to raid Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago treasure because he was cooperating.
	I was cooperating with the National Archives in Justice as well.
	And we were in the process of a negotiation, and instead of going forward with that, they went and they did the civil suit.
	Now, here's what's interesting, Sean.
	Um, my lawyers sent him back a letter before they formally filed a civil suit and raised some significant issues about whether the National Archives was trying to use this civil suit and process as a way to get more evidence against near Donald Trump.
	And and it's the same thing that that may be going on with the Mar-a-Lago raid.
	They go in with this this presidential records act thing, they get their nose under the tent there, and then they can grab anything they want.
	So this is so you believe it like I do.
	I believe it's it was all a pretext, because as of June, the National Archives people had been to Mar-a-Lago and they asked Donald Trump to put a padlock on this one room where there's some documents were and he complied and said you can have access to all this any time you want.
	And my point is it is that the parallel here that the Navarro case is is very similar to the Trump case.
	It's like they they they took the step on the unnecessary step of piling on a civil suit on top of my criminal charge as a way of getting what my lawyers say in the in the letter to them is is a a possible backdoor discovery, essentially, to build a criminal charges against me or the president or both.
	And Sean, I've said from the outset, long before I ever got a subpoena.
	The whole mission of that select committee, and I use that term lightly.
	This is simply build a criminal case against Trump so he can't run in 2024.
	I said that from the outset.
	What's what should be shocking to the American public, but doesn't surprise me in the slightest of how it appears increasingly like there seems to be some kind of coordination, not just between the Justice Department and the Select Committee,
	but also the this odd agency of the National Archives using this presidential records act, which is an artifact of the Watergate era as a way to basically get more evidence to build a criminal case.
	And you said I would heard But there are similarities though, Peter.
	Why didn't they Hillary Clinton had 33,000 emails she deleted, and we know that that those emails were compromised and that those servers were hacked.
	Uh Barack Obama had 30,000 uh documents that the uh that should have been in the National Archives, according to the New York Post.
	It's the two-tier system of justice that you've I correctly and beautifully identified, right?
	The point is that they've weaponized the investigatory powers of Congress in a way which violates separation of powers, clearly, and they've weaponized the Presidential Records Act, apparently, as a way of of coordinating and building the case.
	And my of course, it's like they don't use it against Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton or not gonna do let me let me get specifically, because I don't want all our time to be to be lost.
	I w I think it's very important that people understand something about you.
	Is you could have easily walked into the January 6th committee, you could have pled the fifth, not answer a single question, you could have walked out, and you your obligations would have been over.
	You would not have had you know this this moment at the airport.
	Um tell us about the day they arrested you, why they did it at the airport, why they just didn't ask you to report, and did they put you in leg shackles, uh, did they put you in handcuffs?
	Did they really strip search you?
	Yeah, let me let me walk you through that.
	That the predicate here is Sean, I swore an oath, literally, uh to the president of the United States in this country to uphold the Constitution and my duty to the country, right?
	And um I had a duty when President Trump invoked executive privilege.
	It was not my privilege to waive, and I had the duty to do what I have done.
	And I'm caught constitutionally between two conflicting branches of government, and and look, as I said to you last night, men and women of this country have died defending the Constitution.
	The least I could do is face a two-year prison term for doing the same thing.
	Quick break more with Peter Navarro on the other side.
	Uh well, look at how is this polling around the country as we now are a hundred days less than a hundred days out of the midterms, uh 800, 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
	Look, uh, right now every business, they're all nickel and diming us to death, you know, record and s recession dial.
	Pound 250, say the keyword save now.
	Pound 250, keywords save now, real money in your pocket for the exact same service from Pure Talk.
	Final hour roundup is next.
	You do not want to miss it.
	And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity show.
	Right as we continue, Peter Navarro is with us telling us his story uh being, you know, shackled uh in an airport uh for a misdemeanor, uh more intimidation tactics, and it's getting scarier by the day.
	You could have taken an easy way out, you didn't.
	When they did this to you, I want to go.
	Did they really strip search you over something as small as this over a misdemeanor?
	Everybody out there in Hannity Land needs to know.
	I live 50 yards away from the FBI, and they could have easily done a voluntary surrender, peaceful voluntary surgery, which is the norm.
	They tracked me with uh uh a squadron of armed FBI agents out to the airport.
	They they effectively trapped me in the jet way, and five armed FBA agents grabbed me.
	They did not allow me to contact anyone for legal advice, which is a due process violation.
	They screwed up the Miranda rights thing.
	They took me down in tarmac put me in handcuffs, drove me back home, minus 50 yards, back to the FBI.
	And about 20 minutes after that, I was in the basement of the court where the FBI agents stood with the sheriffs in this basement and I was just like, okay, they strip search me, Sean first, and then they put me in leg irons and they walked me down to the same cell that John Hinckley was sat in and when he shot Ronald Reagan they were somehow proud to say that explained that to me.
	And they left me there for three hours and meanwhile they leaked the whole damn thing to the press so that it was bread and circus, political circus, public shame for Navarro, not ashamed at all of this.
	They are they're jackals and the three minutes, Sean, three minutes before I was supposed to appear before the judge, they they stick me with a public defender um very nice person, but they don't know anything about constitutional law.
	Well if you don't take it uh you probably have to spend the night right that was just the beginning and you know it's like I Sean I am the only only person ever only senior White House advisor ever in the history of this republic to be treated in this manner.
	And Sean you know I served honorably for four years never a hint of scandal I helped the president save millions of lives during the pandemic and created hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs and this is what I got in the crack baby hunter Biden Rome's free to sell us out the the the Chinese the same damn Chinese Sean that I sat across the table and fought tooth and nail on behalf of this country.
	So this is just this is just so over the top wrong and we need answers and and we're going to get answers.
	I I filed a motion to compel discovery in my case and every journalist out there should read that thing because there's there's as many unanswered questions in there as answered questions.
	And we're we're going to get to the bottom of this with the help of folks like you Sean who's to like we're going to keep this story in the public arena update us regularly I'm sorry that you had to go through that that is not the norm and I worry about where this country is headed.
	This this these tactics have got to stop criminal you know we're we're now criminalizing political differences.
	Peter Navarro will stay on top of this I promise you're welcome on these airwaves anytime you want thank you for an update and thanks for being with us.
	One quick thing Sean taking back Trump's America I've got over 4000 paid out in legal fees already that book is my legal defense fund as well as the way to get Nancy Pelosi out of the house and Trump back in the White House.
	Taking back Trump's America on Amazon if you folks can help me out on that I would appreciate it.
	We'll put a link on Hannity.com as well and people don't realize it is hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in legal fees for the for people that find themselves in the position that Peter is in.
