More indictments are lining up for President Trump and the jurisdictions pressing charges are extremely liberal... the question is... can President Trump be treated fairly? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

| More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America. | |
| All right, thanks, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us. | |
| Toll-free, our number is 800-941. | |
| Sean, you want to be a part of the program? | |
| We're in beautiful Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and it is beautiful. | |
| I mean, we pulled up here today. | |
| I couldn't believe it. | |
| Apparently, people had slept outside the venue tonight to be at our town hall with President Trump, not knowing that there would be huge news today, which we'll obviously do a deep dive into. | |
| Linda, for the first time, I thought you were actually concerned about my well-being when we walked in the building today. | |
| I tell you what, I know that you're a ninja and that you can protect yourself at any given turn, but at every turn, there was somebody trying to hug you, embrace you, give you a flag, dress you in a flag, put their flag on you. | |
| It was a lot. | |
| Linda, we are in Iowa. | |
| We're not in New York anymore. | |
| I would rather be in Iowa any day of the week than New York. | |
| Listen, if we were in New York, you would have got jabbed with a needle. | |
| You know, I mean, it's a completely different environment. | |
| Anyway, we got a lot of ground to cover. | |
| Let me start with what has gone on here and what this is all about. | |
| Because, and I will tell you, if you had fear about a dual justice system in this country, unequal justice under the law, if you've had fear about whether we have equal justice, equal application of our laws, you've got to now look at this in total. | |
| Because Jack Smith, the special counsel for looking into both the issue of the document case that brought 37 charges as it relates to Donald Trump and Mar-a-Lago and the raid, has now sent, as of Sunday night, a target letter to President Trump regarding January 6th. | |
| Now, this is not a surprise to me, and I don't think this is going to be the last target letter. | |
| And I do believe this will be followed, it's almost a certainty, by an indictment, and as will the case in Georgia, I believe, and in an indictment because it's Fulton County, Georgia. | |
| I lived in Georgia. | |
| One place, if you're a conservative, Republican, you don't want to be involved in a court case is Fulton County, Georgia. | |
| Heavily Democratic territory. | |
| Washington, D.C., heavily Democratic territory. | |
| New York City. | |
| I don't think any conservative can get a fair trial in New York City. | |
| I just don't believe it. | |
| Or D.C. or Fulton County for that matter. | |
| That's how sad things are. | |
| So the president released on Truth Social today his statement, and he says, wow, on Sunday night while I was with my family, having just arrived from the turning point event in Florida, where I won the straw poll against all other Republican candidates with 85.7%, and with all polls showing me leading in the Republican Party by very substantial numbers, almost everyone predicting that I will be the Republican nominee for president. | |
| And as I am leading Democrat Joe Biden in the polls by a lot, horrifying news for our country was given to my attorneys. | |
| And by the way, there is new polling numbers out today. | |
| It just so happens by Rasmussen, which I found pretty interesting in terms of the timing of everything. | |
| And it shows that, in fact, Donald Trump is polling over Joe Biden. | |
| I've been polling pretty strongly and doing really well. | |
| And anyway, so we'll get into some of those things later. | |
| But he showed that Donald Trump had a 51% approval rating. | |
| And anyway, he crossed the 51% line among likely voters and is at 73% among Republicans. | |
| And Joe Biden has been doing horrible in the polls. | |
| And look at how well RFK Jr. | |
| is doing in the polls. | |
| Anyway, so he goes on then to say that Deranged Jack Smith, Jack Smith was appointed the special counsel, the prosecutor with Joe Biden's DOJ, appointed by Merrick Garland, sent a letter, parentheses, again, it was Sunday night, stating that I am a target of the January 6th grand jury investigation and giving me a very short four days to report to the grand jury, which almost always means an arrest and indictment. | |
| He's not wrong on that. | |
| So now, Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland, who I turned down for the United States Supreme Court, in retrospect, he says in parentheses, based on his corrupt and unethical actions, a very wise decision, unquote, on parentheses, together with Joe Biden's Department of Injustice, have effectively issued a third indictment and arrest of Joe Biden's number one political opponent, who is largely dominating him in the race for the presidency. | |
| Nothing like this has ever happened in our country before or even close. | |
| They illegally spied on my campaign, attacked me with a totally fake dossier that was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC. | |
| They impeached me twice, parentheses, I won. | |
| They failed on the Mueller witch hunt, no collusion. | |
| They failed on Russia, Russia, Russia, that hoax, the 51 intelligence agents fraud, the FBI Twitter files, the DOJ Facebook censorship, and every other scam imaginable. | |
| But on top of all of that, they have now effectively indicted me three times. | |
| Parentheses, the DOJ staffed and runs the DA's office in Manhattan, with a probable fourth coming from Atlanta, where the DOJ are in strict and possible illegal coordination with the DA, whose record on murder and other violent crime is abysmal. | |
| This witch hunt is all about election interference and a complete and total political weaponization of law enforcement. | |
| It is a very sad and dark period for our nation. | |
| That was his statement from earlier today. | |
| Now, we have a lot of ground to get into. | |
| I'm not sure exactly where the investigation is headed. | |
| I just don't know. | |
| I would assume that, and one of the things you got to look at is, you know, maybe a 14th Amendment charge, which if you're responsible for insurrection, I believe you need, what, two-thirds of the Senate to be able to run for president. | |
| Is that the angle with this indictment? | |
| I don't know. | |
| One of the things that I was very frustrated with With the January 6th committee, is okay, if they wanted to be critical of Donald Trump, I can understand that, especially the Democrats and Liz Cheney, et cetera. | |
| But don't forget, they kicked Jim Jordan and Jim Banks off that committee and replaced those two people with everybody on that committee had voted to impeach Donald Trump. | |
| Everybody on that committee hated Donald Trump. | |
| You know, there are other issues involving January 6th. | |
| I'll tell you the biggest thing that everybody should be upset about in terms of that committee. | |
| They never came up with a plan of action to make sure, to prevent that something like that could never happen again in our future, meaning that our institutions and our elected officials are always protected. | |
| But then there are certain things that they conveniently left out. | |
| And it's not just Sean Hannity saying it. | |
| You know, it's even, you know, Lester Holt over at NBC News. | |
| Listen to this report and ask yourself: if they had actionable intelligence, why didn't they act on that intelligence? | |
| Why wasn't law enforcement there? | |
| This is Lester Holt, NBC. | |
| The January 6th Committee's final report was more than 800 pages, but some material did not make the cut, including much of its findings on the failures of federal law enforcement leading up to the attack. | |
| The chief investigator of the January 6th Committee says the government could have prevented it. | |
| Had law enforcement agencies acted on the available intelligence, do you believe the attack on the Capitol could have been successfully repelled? | |
| I think it would have been a lot different had law enforcement taken a more assertive, protective posture. | |
| People familiar with the committee's work tell NBC News members downplayed that finding because they wanted to keep the focus on former President Trump. | |
| So they downplayed the findings of actionable intelligence. | |
| Now, we also had at the time when he wrote his book, we had the former Capitol Police chief Sonn on this program. | |
| And what did we learn from him? | |
| In the days leading up to, he had seen January 6th, he had seen intelligence that made him change his earlier assessment that they probably wouldn't need guard troops on standby, but then said to us and said many times that, in fact, he made a number of requests in the days leading up to and on January 6th itself because the Intel reports showed that there was a big chance of trouble. | |
| Why wasn't that a big part of the January 6th report? | |
| They still could have politically bludgeoned Trump, which is what they wanted to do in the beginning, but we at least could have used this information and learned from mistakes that were made to protect the Capitol, our elected officials, and our institutions. | |
| That wasn't a top priority. | |
| No, bludgeoning Trump was the top priority with their predetermined outcome. | |
| But here's what the former Capitol Police Chief Stephen Sun had to say. | |
| There were a number of requests. | |
| I went on January 3rd requesting the National Guard from Paul Irving. | |
| That was the first request for the National Guard. | |
| I then went to Mike Stinger, who's the Senate Sergeant Arms. | |
| That intelligence assessment didn't even indicate the level of threat that that we now know existed. | |
| The significant threat that was out there, the fact that the FBI was tracking 18 domestic terrorist suspects that were coming to the Capitol. | |
| And my intelligence unit on the 4th, 5th and 6th, put out intelligence that was saying low probability of civil disobedience. | |
| Okay. | |
| So when his opinion changed, when the intel changed, he was requesting National Guard troops. | |
| And then, of course, nobody wanted to hear the interviews that I have with President Trump. | |
| There was in the days leading up to just a couple of days before January 6th in the Oval Office, the issue of National Guard troops came up for the five people in the room, President Trump, Chris Miller, acting defense secretary, his chief of staff, Kash Patel, Mark Meadows, the President's chief of staff, and then General Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs. | |
| Well, I believe the investigator, I believe the Inspector General had a report that said even he said, yeah, that conversation took place. | |
| Now, if you want to start an insurrection, are you going to be talking to such high-profile people about possibly calling in troops? | |
| Listen. | |
| Did you authorize calling up the guard? | |
| And then it became the chain of command went to Nancy Pelosi and to the mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser. | |
| Did you, as required by law, authorize that? | |
| 100% and attested to by many people, and they turned it down. | |
| Nancy Pelosi turned it down. | |
| Mayor Bowser's written refusal, the communications between the leader of the Capitol Police and their chain of command to the DOD, refusing our request to allow National Guard's men and women to stage on January 4 and 5 before January 6th. | |
| Did you both ask for the National Guard to be called up? | |
| Without a doubt, Sean, we've made that very clear, not just once, but on numerous occasions. | |
| We wanted to make sure that there was plenty of National Guard on the ready in case there was some kind of violence. | |
| I had a meeting with President Trump on the 3rd of January concerning some international threats. | |
| And at the very end, he asked if there were any requests for National Guard support. | |
| What was the president's response to you with regard to the request made by Mayor Bowser? | |
| Fill it and do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators. | |
| So you have all of these people saying that that was discussed. | |
| Now, Muriel Bowser had a letter denying the guard request on the day before January 6th. | |
| Again, I mean, if the goal would have been, okay, you've got your political agenda, that's a part of any hearing in Washington. | |
| That's what the swamp the sewer is about. | |
| I get it. | |
| I understand it. | |
| But then they should have had another part of that that actually cared about the safety and security of people in that building and elected officials in that building and the institution itself, but that wasn't a priority. | |
| Never mind the fact that Muriel Bowser, the Capitol police chief, none of these people were highlighted in the hearings. | |
| They only selectively played what they wanted you to hear and a narrative that they wanted you to hear. | |
| Nancy Pelosi's in charge of security at the Capitol. | |
| And, you know, the GOP in their report, they faulted her for the security failures. | |
| Leadership, law enforcement failures within the U.S. Capitol left the complex vulnerable, said the report. | |
| House Sergeant of Arms, who answered to Pelosi as one of the three voting members, succumbed to the political pressures of the office of Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership, quote, unquote. | |
| I mean, this is what it is. | |
| So here we are now. | |
| There will be what looks like not one, not two, not three, but four arrests. | |
| If I'm right about Georgia and write that this target letter will end an indictment of Donald Trump. | |
| And at what point do you not look at Hillary Clinton and no prosecutor would prosecute, no raid on Chappaqua, her dirty dossier that she paid for? | |
| When do we look at the destroyed subpoenaed emails and the devices destroyed? | |
| When do we look at the dirty dossier that they couldn't even offer a reward for to Christopher Steele to corroborate and then used it as the bulk of information for not one but four FISA warrant applications, knowing it was unverifiable and it says verified on the top of a FISA warrant. | |
| And then look at, okay, 2020, fast forward, FBI has Hunter's laptop in January, on December of 2019. | |
| They confirmed that it is authentic in March of 2020. | |
| Then why were FBI agents meeting weekly in the months leading up to the 2020 election, warning big tech, like they did Yoel Roth, the Twitter integrity site had at the time, that they may be a victim of misinformation campaigns about Joe and Hunter Biden. | |
| And then, of course, that information all got censored. | |
| And the American people couldn't even put it out there on social media without it being taken down within seconds and probably your account suspended. | |
| It's a very dangerous time in this country. | |
| That's what I'm telling you. | |
| Very dangerous. | |
| You know, we're now criminalizing political differences. | |
| You know, and how did Hunter, how did Hunter Biden get a slap on the wrist? | |
| And how is it the cocaine investigation went on 10 days and they didn't interview a single person? | |
| They know every person that went in that door. | |
| They didn't interview one. | |
| Case closed. | |
| Really? | |
| Would they have done that to the Trump White House? | |
| They tend to think not. | |
| And then, you know, at what point do we say, what is going on here in this country? | |
| Because I don't care what your politics are. | |
| I don't want you treated any differently than any other American when it comes to the rule of law. | |
| Period. | |
| Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |

| All right, 25 now to the top of the hour. | |
| We are in beautiful Cedar Rapids, Iowa. | |
| How cool was it, Linda, when we pulled up today? | |
| I mean, people had camped out here before the event tonight. | |
| We're doing a town hall with Donald Trump. | |
| Then there's big breaking news today about that he got a target letter from the special counsel. | |
| By the way, none of this was not anticipated. | |
| It was anticipated in regards to January 6th. | |
| There are other issues I wish. | |
| Look, if you want to be critical, that's one thing. | |
| And say, well, maybe if people did this, this, this, or this. | |
| You know, I noticed in the January 6th hearings, I don't recall a single time them ever giving some perspective. | |
| Many of you will peacefully, patriotically march to the Capitol so your voices will be heard. | |
| I thought it was pretty profound. | |
| But, you know, this presidential race is heating up. | |
| You know, one of the things we have our pollsters on later, and I really only have one or two questions for them. | |
| And John McLaughlin, Matt Tower, Robert Kahaley, three of the best in the country by far. | |
| And that is, how is it every time they attack Donald Trump, his poll numbers go through the roof? | |
| How is that possible? | |
| Just like, how is it possible that he's in a position where he's leading by, according to Real Clear Politics as of today, by 35 points? | |
| I mean, that is a massive, insurmountable lead. | |
| And you cannot ignore that this is Biden's justice department, that this has never, ever happened before. | |
| And then when you start comparing and contrasting, like on the document case, the treatment of the Bidens and the Clintons versus Trump and the raid at Mar-a-Lago, it's a fair question to say, is that equal justice application of laws? | |
| And does that sound just to people? | |
| Because I wonder if at the end of the day here, the goal is just to either make him go away and not run or just to make it so that the American taxpayers, the American voters in their minds that are not addicted to news like we are, are just going to go, oh, there's just some where there's smoke, there's fire. | |
| One of those things. | |
| And cocaine in the White House and Hunter Biden's sweetheart deal. | |
| And you can add to that, you know, the FISA warrants and the Mueller witch hunt and the impeachments and everything in between. | |
| Yes, go ahead. | |
| No, you know, Sean, you make such good points, as usual. | |
| I mean, you've only been doing it for 30 years. | |
| I don't know why I'm surprised. | |
| But I have to say, a big part of what we have going on here is, you know, Donald Trump says the things that people are thinking. | |
| And while many people are afraid of the things that Donald Trump may or may not say at any given moment, or the way in which he may or may not say them, or the words he may or may not use, I think it's really, you know, interesting that you give him a platform to talk to the American people who love him so much. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, that's. | |
| I think it's well said. | |
| You know what? | |
| At the end of the day, I'm one vote. | |
| Think about that. | |
| You know, I love when people say I have all this power. | |
| You know, I get accused of you do have a lot of power. | |
| Okay, I don't have any power. | |
| People tried to wrap you in flags today like you were Rocky Balboa and I was in a movie. | |
| It was bizarre. | |
| I mean, and I love Rocky Balda, I love Philly Girls. | |
| Okay, it was not that. | |
| It actually kind of was. | |
| You know, it's such an opposite feeling from what I get in New York on a regular basis. | |
| I had a man dressed in a flag uniform, head to toe, who literally fell over my suitcase of gear and was like, sorry, I'm trying to get to Sean Hannity. | |
| I'm like, I hear you. | |
| I hear he's very nice. | |
| You should get to him. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| You know what I should have done? | |
| I should have introduced you to the crowd. | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| Well, maybe I'll do that tonight. | |
| First of all. | |
| Maybe I'll do that before the show. | |
| I think you're going to be very busy with a man by the name of Donald Trump. | |
| No. | |
| And all the things. | |
| There's a lot to talk about. | |
| You know, it's funny because I came here with an intention because all of these issues, to me, January 6th, the 2020 election, it's been litigated to death. | |
| I have nothing left to say. | |
| Please, it's distraction. | |
| And at some point, you know, I'm looking at my fellow Americans, and I know I sound like a broken record when I say this. | |
| I lived paycheck to paycheck for many years of my early adult life. | |
| And I don't know that it's not a trauma because I never really felt poor, but in reality, I didn't have any money. | |
| You know what it is? | |
| It's like our grandparents who hid money and paper goods in the walls because during World War II, they didn't have anything. | |
| And so if you go into the old tenement houses, especially in New York, you would find people that had lived and survived World War II, hid their money, hid their toilet paper, you know, hid their paper goods. | |
| Nobody knew. | |
| They passed away. | |
| Some guy will find it 50 years later. | |
| I'm telling you, it's crazy. | |
| I mean, I've actually been one of those people to go into walls and we found my grandfather had put like money in his mattress. | |
| Because they didn't trust the government. | |
| And you know what? | |
| They were right. | |
| I wouldn't trust them either. | |
| I mean, look, we've got Rush Tax Resolution telling us we got a CYA. | |
| Oh, by the way, I'm sure you're going to trust the government on your health after everything they got wrong on COVID. | |
| I'm not. | |

| No, it's just a very different vibe when I'm here. | |
| And in Iowa, people, or if I'm in Florida, everybody's nice to me. | |
| Oh, they love you. | |
| No, if I'm in South Carolina, people like me. | |
| If I'm in North Carolina, people like me. | |
| From a Michigan, they didn't like me too much. | |
| What happened in Michigan? | |
| Let's just save that for another day. | |
| When we got out of the car today. | |
| Qua today. | |
| Well, we were still in the car. | |
| We're still in the qua. | |
| I actually didn't think they were going to let you out. | |
| I'm looking at Bella, too, because I know Bella thought the same thing I thought. | |
| Bella was in the car with you. | |
| We were in the car behind. | |
| Right. | |
| Sweet Baby James was asleep. | |
| As he does. | |
| He works hard. | |
| He has to catch disease where he goes. | |
| Listen, I wouldn't want Sweet Baby James' job, especially when I'm stressed. | |
| Related to you? | |
| Hell no. | |
| Hell no. | |
| So anywho, we're watching him get out of the car, and I'm going, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, this is not good. | |
| This is not good. | |
| And then one guy turns around and he goes, oh, my God, it's Sean Hannity because you were, you know, in your baseball cat, your sweatshirt, the whole thing. | |
| I didn't have my baseball. | |
| I put my sunglasses. | |
| You had your sunglasses on? | |
| Nope. | |
| I didn't have my sunglasses on. | |
| Really? | |
| No. | |
| I'm remembering this differently, and you're messing up my story. | |
| But anyways, you weren't all dressed in fancy pants, and people didn't realize it was you right away. | |
| I mean, I'm dressed like I dress every day with one of my. | |
| I didn't say that, but they see you on TV, and you were just the everyman. | |
| I thought it was very funny. | |
| Well, the people here are wonderful. | |
| It's going to be an interesting night tonight, that's for sure. | |
| You know, let me give you another example. | |
| I mean, we now know justthenews.com. | |
| We know that a recently retired supervisory agent for the FBI told Congress, this is Comer's committee, behind closed doors yesterday that the Bureau tipped off Joe Biden's team and the Secret Service in late 2020 about a plan to interview Hunter Biden in the criminal tax probe, corroborating allegations by two IRS whistleblowers. | |
| Tomorrow, we have whistleblower number two. | |
| There are six of them. | |
| We've heard from Mr. Shapley. | |
| Now we're going to hear, we don't know the guy's name tomorrow. | |
| I assume we'll know tomorrow. | |
| And nothing happens. | |
| He got a sweetheart deal. | |
| In that case, the prosecutor Weiss, his own office recommended felony tax charges against Hunter, and he went against his own office's recommendation. | |
| How does the FBI tip off the Biden team? | |
| You know, one of the conclusions of the Inspector General Horowitz report was, and the Durham report, they treated Hillary Clinton very differently in 2016 than they treated Donald J. Trump. | |
| But there's not a deep state. | |
| Now a retired supervisory agent telling Congress that the Bureau tipped off Joe Biden's team in the Secret Service about a plan to interview Hunter Biden on a criminal tax probe, which stopped the interview. | |
| I mean, and by the way, Jim Jordan in a letter now is highlighting the committee's prior subpoenas related to the Bureau's assessment of Catholics as extremists and involvement in a memo and warning against parents expressing dissent at school board meetings. | |
| And he warned the FBI director on Monday that his committee may hold him in contempt over the agency's noncompliance with subpoenas related to its investigations into the weaponization of law enforcement and the Justice Department. | |
| This is now a big deal. | |
| Hunter Biden got tipped off by FBI people. | |
| This is not a small issue here. | |
| And we're hearing from a just recently retired supervisory special agent confirming that FBI headquarters and the Secret Service basically colluded to keep Hunter Biden from having to do an interview with the agents. | |
| The whistleblowers interviewed, again, the House Oversight Committee yesterday. | |
| You know, the takeaway is part of the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. | |
| Multiple witnesses, interviews planned for December 8th, 2020. | |
| The supervisory agent for the IRS, Gary Shapley and the former FBI supervisory special agent, they were assigned to interview Hunter. | |
| On the evening before, Shapley and the FBI supervisor special agent learned that the FBI headquarters had notified Secret Service headquarters about the planned interview with Hunter. | |
| Additionally, they learned that the Biden transition team was notified about the planned interview. | |
| And on December 8th, Shapley and the FBI supervisory special agent were notified they would not be allowed to approach Hunter Biden's house and instead would have to wait near his residence until Hunter Biden contacted them. | |
| Oh, I'm sure I'm going to get that treatment. | |
| Any day of the week, I'm getting that treatment. | |
| It's unreal. | |
| But, you know, this is what about ism. | |
| That's the new word, favorite word of the media mob. | |
| It's a scary time because you're really talking about something a lot deeper, and that is taking our Constitution, which is our foundation for our rule of law in this country, and you're shredding it, and people on the left do not care. | |
| That is not good. | |
| You know, when an FBI whistleblower says top bureau officials sabotage plans to interview Hunter Biden, and then he gets this sweetheart deal in the end that nobody else would have gotten, unbelievable. | |
| You know, forbidden questions, denied warrants, witness tip-offs. | |
| What else are we going to get here? | |
| Because that's what we're getting. | |
| And now I can't wait to hear the other ones. | |
| So we got the Jim Jordan threat. | |
| Kevin McCarthy has now moved to educate House Republicans with a video compilation of the Biden bribery scandal, he calls it. | |
| Jen Sakis tries to say, oh, Comer must be a Chinese agent. | |
| Chinese agent? | |
| The only people that made millions and millions of dollars. | |
| I am sitting here with my father. | |
| A WhatsApp message to Joe. | |
| Oh, that sounds like a shakedown. | |
| And then lo and behold, within a week, oh, $5 million shows up into the Biden family coffers. | |
| You kidding me? | |
| Well, you know, Joe said over and over again, I never once talked to my son Hunter, not one time, not once about any of this. | |
| Anyway, the House Republicans defended President Trump today as he said he was told about this target letter. | |
| Steve Scalise said he expected the indictment as just one more example that you're seeing a constant targeting over and over and over again by this administration against who is their chief rival right now by 35 points. | |
| It's interesting. | |
| It happens more and more as Trump rises in the polls and Biden falls in the polls. | |
| It's an unfortunate part of an unequal application of justice. | |
| This is absolute Adam Bull Schiff. | |
| Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. | |
| Jonathan Turley. | |
| By the way, even Brian Kemp, I'll play it later, said they better have the goods on this. | |
| They better. | |
| Jonathan Turley, Democrat also said, Jack Smith, in this case, the Department of Justice, they better have something more than just Trump's January 6th speech. | |
| And he said to make any January 6th indictment stick, it's going to require some strong and direct evidence. | |
| We haven't seen that yet. | |
| If Smith doesn't have that kind of evidence and he's moving forward merely on the speech, then I think he will fulfill the narrative of Donald Trump. | |
| I just don't know. | |
| I mean, who knows what, how is this special counsel moving at the speed of light? | |
| And then, has anyone heard from that guy, Hurr? | |
| Robert Hurd, I think is his name. | |
| Robert Hurd, am I right about that? | |
| Robert Hurr. | |
| It's kind of like when we were looking for Durham for five years. | |
| Yeah, five years. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| You know, I've tried to point out over and over again how now we got cocaine, but we're going to stop the investigation in 10 days. | |
| You know, do you think that any Trump kid would get away with that? | |
| In terms of an investigation, I'm not talking about guilt. | |
| You don't think everybody, why didn't they interview all the people that went through that door, that went to that area where they, I guess, leave their phones? | |
| Why wasn't, how do you end an investigation? | |
| Cocaine. | |
| What if, God forbid, was anthrax? | |
| You know, there are police officers that have handled fentanyl and powder gets in their nose and they are overdosed. | |
| The next thing they know, they're passed out on the ground and their partners are shooting them up with Narcam to save their life. | |
| What if that was in the cocaine in there? | |
| This is the president of the United States. | |
| No, I'm not a Joe Biden fan, but I am a fan of protecting that office and the people that hold that office. | |
| That transcends politics. | |
| Unbelievable times we're living in. | |
| Really is. | |
| All right, we got a lot of ground that we got to cover today. | |
| Kimberly Strassel, she'll weigh in on today's big story, the target letter that Donald Trump got as we continue from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. | |
| Hannity tonight, 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel. | |
| Set you DVR, Donald J. Trump, full hour. | |
| It probably will go long again. | |
| Last one went like 30 minutes over. | |
| It was crazy. | |
| Anyway, looking forward to seeing all of you in Cedar Rapids tonight, 9 o'clock. |
