This is an iHeart Podcast.
We'll be right back.
We'll all be inside.
I'm a gentleman.
And if you want a little bang in the yin yang, come along.
Are you saying that uh that you would be uh taking part in uh our upcoming election 26?
I'll either be rolling egg or being the the good you know, the guy who's pushing them out.
I would say he's clearly running.
He's never said anything otherwise.
Look, the Republican Party cannot wait for the young to turn old and the single to get married to find new voters.
The place I'm really concerned, the thing I'm really concerned about with this is that the left becomes a turnout machine.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming.
Y'all send him.
Don't play our kids off and say you will come to songs.
Sean Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news round up information overload hour, 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh we're beginning to get more information uh about the Pentagon leaker.
Now, this kind of leak, it might be the single biggest, largest and and and and most dangerous leak of all time.
Uh the Washington Post released a bombshell report detailing the guy responsible for leaking this highly classified Pentagon documents.
I mean, they actually had in there that our special forces are on the ground in Ukraine.
Now, by the way, I'd rather they not be there.
That's a separate issue, but the fact that they are there should not be known publicly.
And the same with the the UK.
They were outed too as having their special forces on the ground.
Now, by the way, the U.S. officials uh suspected has now been arrested in this Pentagon league, which we broke earlier in the program today.
Uh first identified, I think, by the New York Times, which is in and of itself really, really dangerous.
Uh, you have nearly a hundred special forces from five Western countries, including more than a dozen Americans, have been outed as a result of this leak.
Uh anyway, it was dated March 23rd, Mark's secret revealed the U.S. had 14 special forces in Ukraine.
Uh the post could not identify the authenticity, uh, verify the authenticity.
Well, now it looks like we found the leaker.
Uh, we welcome back to the program.
Investigative reporter, friend of the show, Sarah Carter is with us.
Uh Sarah, this is extraordinarily dangerous.
And by the way, I want to congratulate you.
I had no idea that you were working on a children's book.
I got a copy of it, and it's amazing, and the illustration is phenomenal, and it's joining the amazing Club Awesome Sauce.
And uh you did such a good job with this, and I have no idea we found the time to do this, considering we send you pretty much all over the world uh to do a lot of reporting for us.
Well, that's true, Sean, but a lot of that reporting is what led me to doing this book for children because our world is so upside down.
We've seen, and you you know this, you cover it every single night.
We talk about the chaos at the US Mexico border.
We're now talking about the chaos of this extraordinarily very dangerous leak on our U.S. intelligence apparatus.
And this is something that, you know, for me was a passion of the heart because I see our children, you know, are suffering, and they're kind of losing their way in a sense.
We we see that in our schools with you know, CRT and the lack of the lack of teaching in our public pools that needs to be focused on values and our nation and respecting rule of law, and that's what my book's about.
It's it's joining the amazing club awesome thoughts.
It's a way of telling kids about rules and why they're important and how they protect us, our nation, and those trying to get here as well, and for that matter, the rest of the world, you have to have a set of rules.
And it does it in such a way that it's easy for kids to understand, you know.
Um, and it's beautifully illustrated.
Ali did the most amazing work on this book, and it's just gorgeous.
And so I can't take credit for that, but the story is a rhyme.
It's beautiful.
I'm gonna be with Kurt Cameron uh as well.
I'm gonna be with Sheriff Mark Lamb, who also wrote Frafe Books.
Uh, we're gonna be in Scottsdale, Arizona, um, talking about the book, and I'll be reading the book to children there and to adults.
Um, and you can find the book um exclusively at Bravebooks.com.
That's at BraveBooks.com.
I'm so excited about this.
So many people love it, and I it's just gotten such a great response from so many children.
I I can't believe how how well illustrated it is, how fun the book is.
Uh parents are gonna love this, uh grandparents will love it for their kids as well.
Um, let's go to this leak, what we know and how dangerous it is.
Sean, it's extremely dangerous.
You know, I covered the war in Afghanistan and in Iraq.
You know, my husband has retired special forces.
Uh secrecy is of the utmost importance in their world, uh, not only to protect their own lives and state secrets, but to protect that of their families and our nation.
And I read through the entire story on the Washington Post.
I read through the New York Times story as well, and it's significant.
One of the things that jumped at me immediately was the fact that uh that the that the resources that leaked this information, and particularly the one source leaked information that was highly sensitive and described our procedures, our tactics, um it would disclose nations that were sharing information with one another.
For example, if Egypt was sharing information with Russia, or if there were conversations taking place that was released, uh we saw NATO uh also being wrapped up into this with Turkey and its apparent ongoing negotiations with Russia.
Uh I could tell you what happened.
The minute that that story published, the minute that these documents went public, the Russians, uh, the Ukrainians, the Egyptians, the Turkish, the North Koreans, the South Koreans, everybody who was involved in this story, the Iranians, began looking at the story and remembering, okay, where did we have this meeting?
Who did we speak with on a phone?
What phones were being used, who was in that meeting with us.
So for example, if our CIA or DIA have agents working for us, people cooperating with us at the Kremlin, or people cooperating with us overseas, those people will immediately be designated a threat to those states.
They could be killed, it will be terminated, we'll lose our access to those states.
Not only that, what about our SF forces on the ground?
The men and women that are on the ground, their lives are in direct threat right now.
There was also a lot of inside baseball, which was interesting to me about the FSB, which is the old KG, it's it's the new KGB, right?
The new Russian KGB and how the FSB was in house fighting with their military.
That tells me something extraordinary.
That means we have access to inside conversations inside the Kremlin, and those conversations are going back and forth.
And guess what's gonna happen now?
It's all gonna shut down.
Let me play Joe Biden downplaying all of this.
Uh and then uh ending, you know, his little chat with the the media.
He only likes to take questions from children, as we learned in uh Ireland, but uh then ends it with uh about this.
He's um uh I have nothing else to say about the classified document leak.
I'm gonna go plant a tree.
Are you concerned about the guys?
It's time to go.
Well, we got to know.
I'm gonna go.
I'm concerned in what happens.
aware of that is all three counts do you have an update on the leak investigation yeah it's not just for a pushback all right yeah okay Thank you, thank you, thank you.
There's nothing contemporaneous that I'm aware of that is of great consequence.
Uh excuse me, you exposed countries roles that were not known to the to the public or not known probably to Russia, and you gave away those secrets and you allowed this to happen.
And then you went on to say, well, uh about the leak, uh uh this is a leak that we now know has publicized potential vulnerabilities in Ukraine's air defense c capabilities.
Well, that's pretty valuable information for a an evil killer like Vladimir Putin.
You know, there's an old saying if you're not gonna help, do no harm.
And frankly, I think Europe has not stepped up.
And I think now that Macron has decided that Taiwan is not their problem, then I would say the United States should look at Europe as not being our problem and let them put their money up and let them support Ukraine, or let Ukraine be taken over and then see where Putin goes from there.
Oh, absolutely, Sean.
Look, listen, this is this is uh the utmost urgency right now, and you're absolutely right.
If if the Europeans can't pull their weight, then I think we have a serious problem in Ukraine, and the exposure is huge.
But this is coming from a president right now who is not really running the show.
We have unelected officials in the White House running the White House right now.
This is a man who, by the way, had to be pulled away by Hunter Biden while he was in Ireland because he was making no sense when he was answering reporters.
And this is an administration.
Well, when you have your crack addict's son, I guess he's recovered, but you know, having to pull you away because you can't put you know, string three sentences together.
By the way, far different in my interview with Donald Trump and Tucker's interview with Donald Trump, but go ahead.
Yeah, no, absolutely, absolutely.
And to make matters even worse, the police are now investigating a huge security breach in Ireland.
I don't know if you've seen this, but President Biden um lot there were a number of sensitive documents lost.
They were found on the street by local police and people walking around the street that gave away all kinds of security operations for the president.
So basically you have very important classified documents just blowing around on the street in Ireland, and people are picking them up.
We are really the laughing stock right now of the world because of this, because of the the actions that our government has taken.
And Sean, we have to think about this.
What was happening inside the Pentagon and with our military, after we've had the Snowden leak, we've had Chelsea Manning, which Obama, you know, gave a part into, leaking everything all over the world.
And then now we have a leak inside the Pentagon of all of these classified reports.
One year, one year after the Russians invade Ukraine, which means that these are sensitive, sensitive documents, an assessment over the last year.
And not one person inside the Pentagon had that flagged.
There wasn't one computer that said, Whoa, wait a minute, hey, this needs to be flagged.
Somebody just pulled classified documents out, or somebody has their cell phone in the Pentagon and they're taking pictures of classified documents.
We have a serious failure across the board in our bureaucracy.
And an FBI that spends more time investigating parents who are, you know, complaining about the horrible things they're teaching our children.
Thank God for my book, but the horrible things that they're teaching our children, it's cool.
They're being considered domestic terrorists, and Latin masses are being infiltrated by the FBI.
But we have a system, a military system that's that's a mess right now, and a White House that's a mess.
I think, you know, 2024, I've said this before, can't come fast enough.
And the American people are probably extraordinarily frustrated at this point in time at the direction this administration is Well, Republicans have been saying it, and I'm not gonna stop.
They better re-examine how they run elections.
And that means embracing voting by mail, voting early, and embracing legal ballot harvesting in all these important states, or else they won't have a chance.
All right, gotta take a quick break.
We'll come back.
800 941 Sean, our number, more with Sarah Carter on the other side, a new children's book just out today, joining the amazing club awesome sauce.
It's actually a really fun book for kids for grandmas, grandpas, and moms and dads.
You're gonna love reading it to your young children.
All right, we continue with investigative reporter Sarah Carter.
By the way, she has a children's book out today.
It's called Joining the Amazing Club Awesome Sauce.
It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores everywhere, uh, as we continue our discussion.
Uh, you know, speaking of Hunter, I know he's selling his portraits of a crack addict, uh, paint by numbers pictures, you know, from anywhere between seven hundred uh seventy-five thousand to five hundred thousand dollars.
Uh I've got to be honest with you, Club Awesome Sauce, your new children's book uh has far better illustrations than anything I've seen of Hunter Biden's work.
So I'm thinking every book should probably sell for around seventy-five thousand.
And I got to imagine that maybe you can call Hunter and get some Chinese connections and and Russian connections and and maybe they'll purchase your book as well.
Yes, joining the amazing club awesome sauce is all American shod.
We are not gonna launder money for anybody.
This is you mean it's different from portraits of a crack addict?
I didn't know that.
I didn't I you know I I saw those investors just rushing to uh to do the paint by numbers with Hunter Biden, and I'm I'm stunned and I'm also stunned at the fact that they would take Hunter Biden, you know, on this trip to Northern Ireland when Northern Ireland has a serious problem with cocaine.
I wouldn't put him anywhere near that anywhere near Ireland right now.
Well, they might be thinking about business deals with Ireland, but certainly I prefer they do business in Ireland and Great Britain than with China, Russia, Ukraine, and and the list of countries that are hostile to the U.S. I prefer that if they're gonna you know, you know, be involved in an influence peddling, seemingly involved in an influence pedaling scheme uh that seems deep and broad and wide, and we now know that Joe lied when he said he had no knowledge of Hunter Biden's farm business dealings.
We have pictures to prove otherwise, and we uh have log records that have been released that show how many times that uh uh Hunter's business partners were at the Biden Obama White House over 90 times, over 17 times for a Rosemont Seneca.
Um vice president, one of his top business partners.
So uh Joe got caught in a big lie, but you know, of course, our FBI's uh politicized, so nothing's happening, and our DOJ's weaponized, and they're just too busy going after Donald Trump 24-7.
Uh, I want to remind people uh Sarah Carter's new children's book just released today.
You can get it on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores everywhere.
It's called Joining the Amazing Club Awesome Sauce, and uh it's a great children's book, and it's a lot of fun, and it's a great rhyme, and your kids are gonna love it, and you'll love it as a parent or a grandparent.
Uh I can't believe you found time to do this, considering we send you all over the world doing stories for us, but congratulations, and uh we really appreciate you being with us today.
Thank you so much, Sean.
And uh just really quick, I just everybody you can get it at BraveBooks.com as well.
Thank you so much, Sean, and I'm happy to travel the world for you.
Thank you, my friend.
Well, we appreciate it and always stay safe, please.
You know, we've been pointing out oh, wait, do you see the uh the Biden blunders video we got for tonight?
I thought last night's was crazy.
You know, this is Biden in in Ireland.
You know, first he delivers this bizarre speech in Northern Ireland that is like incomprehensible.
Then he uses that ridiculous j don't jump gag.
It's not funny.
He used it not once but twice.
Then he's ushered out before he can answer any question.
Oh, you gotta go, we gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta get of course, because he can't even he can't even string two sentences together.
You know, compare that to the interview I did with Trump or Tucker did with Trump.
And then even struggled taking questions from kids.
And then he confused the New Zealand rugby team, uh, quote, all blacks because of their uniform with the Irish parliamentary group, black and tanse.
It's like does this this guy has no clue.
He's so checked out.
That's why China China is now uh racing to become the world's number one and sole superpower, because they see a full advantage and they're taking full advantage of it.
Anyway, just listen to this.
I'll play it in sequence.
Uh Joe Biden in Ireland.
It's hard to communicate just how deeply invested your success in your success.
the people across the United States are.
And those of you who've been there know it.
You know it.
I'm not making this up.
This is real.
This is, it's almost people can taste it.
As a matter of fact, as you walk into my office in the Oval Office of the United States Capitol, guess what?
You know who founded and designed and built the White House?
An Irishman.
An Irish name.
No, not the joke.
Not a joke.
And I want all of you to know, especially the young people in the audience today.
Who don't jump, okay?
Oh, I didn't see the all the way up there.
My father would say, please excuse my back.
I apologize.
Don't jump over.
Don't jump.
I'll out.
Heck of a view out there.
Okay, guys.
Okay, we're good.
All right, we're gonna walk out slowly.
We're gonna walk out slowly.
We're walking out this way.
We're walking out this way.
Walking out this way.
Listen, we're walking out this way.
We're moving.
We're moving.
Any of you guys want to ask me any questions?
What do you want to ask me?
Oh, Air Force.
There's your look at this.
Air Force One.
Right here.
That's pretty much.
He's got quite your question.
What's his office?
Well, making sure that we don't all have COVID.
What's the key success?
Because the key to success.
It was a guy named Jesse Helm from South Carolina from North Carolina, South Carolina.
North Carolina.
And he was a very conservative guy who was very, very not very crazy about African Americans.
It was all we always had fight.
You see this tie I have for the Sherman.
This was given to me by one of these guys right here.
Was a hell of a rugby player.
And he beat the hell of a black and tan.
Oh, God.
But it was when you or it's uh a soldier field, wasn't it?
James.
Chicago.
And uh after it was all over, uh he uh gave my brother allegedly for me, but if it wasn't, I still took it.
I still got the tie.
I wear it with great pride.
You just can't make it up.
It's that bad.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh a lot of calls from South Carolina today.
This one from Joe.
Joe, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, hey, Sean, how are you?
I'm good.
What's going on, my friend?
Not much.
I just have um two things I just wanted to talk about.
Um opinions, and then I like to share your response to it.
First, um, with the primaries, the Republican primaries.
Everybody that's going to be running are going to be running basically on the way Trump ruled, the way he governed.
So I think what's going to happen, it's just going to divide the party.
Because you know how um President Trump is in you know debate.
He's gonna go after every one of them.
And I think that's gonna hurt the Republican Party.
All right, what specifically you mean the primary itself or what what specifically?
Specifically, like people like Tim Scott, which I like him, I have uh no problem at all.
He's looks like he's gonna um throw his hat in the ring.
But uh yeah, he's he's uh now opened up an exploratory committee.
Nikki Haley is running, she's in the race.
We don't know what others might get in the race.
We hear Pompeo's name a lot.
Uh Chris Christie, that which is a joke, thinks that he might get in.
He's he's gonna get in only for one reason to try and be the Trump killer.
Uh and let's see how that works out for him.
Um by the way, he left uh with an approval rating like below zero after the bridge gate scandal and after the beach scandal, the closes the beaches for COVID, and there he is uh flopping down on a closed b beach, uh hanging out getting a little sun.
So Chris Christie is not you know, I've never been that impressed with him, but he's now clearly, you know, it's delusional thinking he's gonna be president.
Glenn Youncan's name comes up, obviously Ron DeSantis' name comes up a lot.
Uh Christy Nome's name has come up a lot.
She was pretty firm with me saying that she's not gonna do it uh when I last interviewed her, but you know, you never know.
I'm I was looking at the numbers, and DeSantis was at like 26%, so he was like 30 points below um President Trump, but then everybody else.
I'm not as convinced as everybody else that Governor DeSantis will run this time.
I'm not.
Um I do think one day Ron DeSantis has what it takes to be a good president.
I really believe that it's He did a great job as governor.
And I think Trump, when I I asked Trump a simple question about this.
I said, wait, I said, I have one question about Governor DeSantis.
I said, You were both friends.
What happened?
That was my full question.
And I let Trump tell his story.
And his feeling was that without his help in 2018, it was a very, very tight race.
And Trump did a lot of to you know, a lot of rallies for him, and and also Rick Scott at the time.
And he feels like you know and and it's in fairness to Ron DeSantis, he did a great job when he got the job, but he almost didn't win, and I don't think he would have won without Donald Trump's help.
I believe that.
So that's what Trump is mad at.
However, every primary at some point is going to turn ugly.
It's inevitable.
It just happens.
You can say all you want that you don't want it to happen, but there's way too much at stake for these guys, and they're not in this to lose.
You know, I just think uh um I just think President Trump is the only one that can fix this situation right now.
I'll tell you what, I I I don't think China Russia would be acting the way they're acting.
I don't think this new access of evil would have been formed.
I don't uh look, I think the world viewed Trump probably very accurately.
And I think Putin did, and I think Chi did.
They viewed him as somebody that if he said it, he probably meant it, and they viewed him as somebody that might be crazy enough to actually do what he says.
In other words, they took his threat seriously, just like the head of the Taliban when he had that discussion with the head of the Taliban and said, before we ever talk about any withdrawal, let me tell you what the rules are.
And the rules are if you move one iota, you or your Taliban friends, if you move an inch, I will obliterate you.
And then sent over the exact coordinates and location of where the guy was at the time, uh, which was a message that I know where you are right now, and I could obliterate you right now.
Yep.
And I you know, based on sources that I had, he talked the same way to Putin.
He talked the same way to President Chi.
He ended up getting the best trade deals and and best concessions out of China than any president previously.
He took them on, demanded free and fair trade, took them on, put tariffs on them, and uh took on Vladimir Putin.
I I think they had a genuine fear of him.
And fear is not a bad thing.
No, and they respected him.
I think they I think they respected him and they feared him.
He understood that they were going to look out for their best interest, and he wanted them to know we're gonna look out for our best interest.
And if we can meet somewhere in the middle and be friends, let's do that.
That's better for the world.
That would that was basically the Trump doctrine right there.
I t I totally agree with what you're saying.
I have one last quick point um and I'll let you go.
Um, listen to you um, you know, with this China and the Middle East um situation.
You know what I think the big problem is is we as Americans, we were raised to always believe that everything's gonna work out.
It might be bad at this moment, Jimmy Carter days, but Reagan's coming.
It's gonna get better.
I don't I don't know.
I I am less optimistic than I've been that's what I mean.
I am very concerned we're digging a hole so deep, so wide that our military is deteriorating, our military's going woke, the country's going broke, and and I don't see I don't see that that the America fully comprehends what's happening before our eyes.
China is trying to emerge as the world's lone superpower.
And the thing about Qi, and maybe it's com a common trait that he has with Trump is I don't think he's bluffing.
I think President Chi wants to dominate the world.
He wants the world to be the most dominant power.
He wants the world's currency uh to no longer be the US dollar, but he wants Chinese currency, the what do they call it, the wan.
Right.
Yeah.
I I totally agree with you, and I and he's and he's making the moves.
Yep.
Um right before our very eyes, pay attention.
Let me run though, uh Joe.
I could talk to you all day, my friend.
God bless you, okay.
800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the uh program.
Uh let's say hi to Christie is in Alabama.
What's up, Christy?
Where in Alabama are you?
I am in Birmingham.
Birmingham.
I spent a lot of time.
I used to I used to go to the Birmingham Zoo.
I like zoos.
Do you like zoos?
I love Zeus.
We always visit a zoo in every state that we go to.
Uh my kids didn't love going to the zoo with me because I make noises like the animals, like if I was seeing the seals, I'd go, or you know, I do that.
And people would look at me like I'm crazy.
I don't see why that's crazy.
Why are you laughing, Linda?
You go to the zoo.
I'm not laughing at all.
No, I don't I don't attend zoos.
Why not?
I don't care for them.
Why not?
What's wrong with you?
Meh.
I got better things to do.
I'm good.
Anyway, what's on your mind today?
Glad you called, Christy.
Well, thank you.
Um, so I am a new listener.
I listen to you every day going home from work.
Um on every every show, we all I always hear people calling in saying, What can we do to make things better?
And the answer is pretty much we do need to pay attention to what is happening in our state, our cities, our government.
We need to watch who we're voting for.
But if we want a change, a real change, how about hit your knees at night and get your heart right and get your life on track with what the Bible says we're supposed to be doing, and God will make everything else work out for us.
You know, uh honestly, I I always quote Thomas Payne, 1776, common sense, and he said, With the guides and dictates of conscience irresistibly be obeyed, we wouldn't have any need for government or any lawmaker.
That being the case, government is but a necessary evil, and it's worse stated an intolerable one.
Um there is something very true to what you're saying.
You know, one of the greatest gifts God gave me in my life is guilt.
I feel guilty when I do wrong things.
And that guilt changes my behavior.
And um the older I get, and hopefully the wiser I get, you know, I try to be a better person.
And it could start with something as simple as the Lord's Prayer, say it slowly, say it with meaning, and it can change your life.
Um, but God's been chased out of our schools and they're pretty much trying to take chase him out of the public s uh s square p uh everywhere.
And you know what?
America needs America needs to return to its Judeo-Christian fundamental values and a belief that we are endowed by our creator, not by government.
Rights come from God, not from man.
Uh, I could talk to you all day.
Christy, appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, odd number if you want to be a part of the program.
That's gonna wrap things up for today.
