	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
	All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
	Toll free on number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Um I I think the probably the biggest and it's being told the story, but frankly, underreported in my view, story in in all of news, all of late night, all in cable news, of which I've now proudly been a part of for twenty-seven.
	I'm in my twenty-seventh year at the Fox News Channel, is the absolute rise of uh my friend and colleague, Greg Guttfeld.
	Uh he's got a new book out.
	It's called The King of Late Night.
	And uh anyway, he's a five-time New York Times best selling author, number one rated host.
	I think the greatest story of all time is his kicking the ass of Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel.
	Uh I I don't know how have you heard me say that in his book is King of Late Night, Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores everywhere.
	Uh have you heard me say that?
	Because I've said it many times on the air.
	I never get tired of hearing it.
	Because it's hard, it it's so people told me that would happen, and I figured it would it you know what it is?
	It's a repeat of what happened when Fox uh was introduced in the nineties.
	It's that there was a void, and all they had to do was put something good out and the people would come.
	And and that's what happened.
	There was it was like a it was like at a smaller scale, but the same kind of it it almost just repeated almost in the same time frame.
	It's crazy.
	I mean, you're part of the biggest hit show on cable, the five.
	You've dominated late night, and you know, I the the title of your book is perfect, the king of late night.
	Um I'll be honest, when it started happening, I was like, keep going, keep going.
	We'd have Jimmy Phaela on and we'd always bring it up.
	How do you think this happened?
	I and I agree with your first comment, which is if you build it, they will come.
	If you do something different and fill a void in the marketplace, you uh you're definitely gonna get an audience, and I think that's been a a very key part of Fox News' success.
	And uh it's great to have you following me now every night.
	You moved up an hour earlier.
	I want to know how you feel about your new time slot, but let's talk about it.
	Yeah, the um I think what helps is the humorlessness of the the current culture.
	Like the culture is, you know, always gonna be somewhat liberal.
	Uh and we've always been the we've always been the punchline.
	The right has always been the punchline.
	My whole goal when I got to Fox and everything was to flip it.
	And that's what originally this book was called the flip.
	And it was about how to tr make it so that were the people having fun and they aren't.
	And you actually can see that happening.
	You know it's happening.
	It happened with Trump.
	I mean, Trump was a hard, a hard thing to grasp.
	And I'll and I include myself in this because I wasn't used to seeing that type of conservative.
	And I'm and it makes me a hypocrite.
	But when I'm looking at, like when you look at my show, the show is having fun because we're poking fun of all the things that all those other shows won't.
	Biden could fall down God knows what, and they won't say a word.
	He'll he'll he'll make uh you know create a sentence of complete nonsense.
	They won't talk about it.
	We will.
	So they i i i we are the one place where you can turn for laughter for comedy.
	Comedians still do it, but on TV, they don't.
	They've completely deserted the turf to us.
	You know, one quote you used that really stuck out to me was late night hosts are a sad sack of climate change hypocrites.
	And and that's only the start of it, but you're right.
	I mean, this material about Joe Biden, it pretty much writes itself every day when he opens his mouth.
	It's it and it's like this the simplest material, but they're now ideologically driven.
	Now, if you go back to Carson or you go back to even Jay Leno, I thought Jay Leno was pretty even-handed.
	If it's funny, it's funny, you know, play the hits and don't take sides.
	Letterman became more partisan as his career went on in my view, and I think it hurt him in the in the ratings.
	What was your take on that time?
	Yeah, you know, um, I think uh if I if you go back to Carson, I don't even think political humor was seen as political.
	Like they I mean, he was calling Joe Biden a liar.
	What was it?
	I mean, are we talking 30, 40 years ago?
	I think when Joe first started running and and he was busted for plagiarism, you could make a joke about that, and it wasn't like your audience would flip out.
	But now they're just so scared of making that joke today.
	So it's it's it's more about the people running this and and the the say the hosts not wanting to cross the the producers, not wanting to cross the corporate advertisers, blah blah blah.
	So now now you have a two team, you have you have a two-tiered kind of like left and right when it used to not matter.
	I kind of remember Letterman changing, I guess that was during the Bush years, right?
	It was probably uh war because I think people had gotten tired of war.
	But that's kind of where but he just came across as a liberal that was just getting a little too liberal.
	But he also is getting cranky in his old age.
	That kind of took over.
	Yeah.
	Um and I and I think he uh he lost people and look, if somebody's making a really good joke about me and it's funny, I'm gonna laugh.
	You know, I don't spend a lot of time on social media, but the times I've been on there and the the amount of effort that people put in to to making fun of me about my political views.
	There's a lot of times I'm like I'm tipping my hat to them.
	I'm like, that's funny as hell.
	Yeah.
	Just just be funny.
	I don't care if you attack me, but be funny about it if you're a comedian.
	Yeah, and don't take yourself seriously.
	I mean, that's the thing.
	I've always seen my role as a fool.
	And and you wait slow down a second.
	You don't see your role as a fool.
	Yeah, I mean, from the classic the the classic definition of the fool is somebody who is allowed to say things and have a little bit of wisdom in the back.
	Like the fool from the the era of like King Arthur's court, the guy that entertain like you think he's saying something silly, but there's something else going on there, and I always try to have that little balance.
	But I do feel I I I think my show is silly.
	I think I sometimes I I just say complete nonsense and it's coming out of my mouth as I'm saying it.
	I'm going, Wow, that made no sense.
	And it's because I have the freedom to kind of like be the fool.
	And I I I guess I I've embraced that.
	I it has to do with refusing to take myself that seriously.
	I'm not an artist.
	You know what I mean?
	You know.
	What what's your day like?
	How much of your show, and I just don't know the the the back I I don't understand the the background of how you you work your day out.
	How much time do you spend maybe writing or contemplating or or just you know, BSing with with your team and did or or most of these jokes that you have extemporaneous cause I really can't tell.
	It's half and half, I think.
	I mean you know it's we I mean I I can tell I'm getting older 'cause I'm writing.
	I'm I'm I'm basically writing a lot less than I used to.
	I used to write like crazy.
	I still write every single day, but you know, I ha I have these two shows, they can wear down.
	You do two you do radio and and your show.
	It's like it's it's it's hard to find that time to actually write.
	But I find that like it's right I can't do a show without having the writing there because it's my safety net.
	And then you find out that the funniest things weren't written at all.
	They come up they come up ex extemporaneously, and it's like because your brain without you trying makes connections, you know, without you even knowing it.
	It's kind of crazy.
	And the next thing you know, the joke is so much better than that stupid one you spent twenty minutes working on.
	What do you take more seriously? 'Cause at times your show gets into deep discussions about whatever the issues are of the day.
	When when do you feel a sense of urgency that wait a minute, I got a strong opinion on this and I'm gonna express it right here and and not in a joking fashion, because I see that side of your show also.
	You know, it's it i it the weird thing about this is the irony of this the trans movement is how we're talking about a really tiny segment of society.
	But there's something going on there that is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel that it's it's it's a it's a it's a malicious there there's a m I'm not saying all trans people, I'm saying the trans activism seems incredibly deliberate.
	Like when they try to teach gender identity to first, second and third graders or elementary school kids.
	Yeah, or getting or or advocating for hormone blockers or surgery To kids that aren't even allowed to, you know, have decisions on getting a tattoo or going to an R-rated movie, and yet they can somehow be allowed to like decide.
	No one should take their kids' word for anything.
	But that doesn't matter because the trans movement has gotten between the parents and the kids using this false, uh this false idea of privacy, like your child needs privacy from you.
	Like you that you can't know that your child wants to change.
	You can't know.
	And I thought this stuff, and I don't have kids.
	This stuff makes me crazy because I feel like it drives me nuts.
	I'm with you.
	Drives me nuts.
	Yeah, there's something deeply psychopathic about it.
	And it's it's it's like w uh uh a a s a small fraction of society is de is is demanding that an entire ninety-nine point nine percent of society bend to their will.
	And when you examine their will, you find that no, this is actually really unhealthy.
	Like they need they that these activists need to create new trans disciples because it's so rare.
	It's so strange.
	And then you see the ones that are getting arrested, uh, this New Hampshire uh lawmaker that was endorsed by Swalwell and beta Auroric.
	And it's like how okay, how did this happen?
	Well, they had the protection of an identity.
	Like if you can't dare question them because they're they're up they have marginalized status.
	So now we're being taken advantage by the marginalized.
	And it it's just to me, I find that I I I think that Dave Chappelle hit it first and hit it often, that this is not something that should be taken seriously.
	It has enough absurdity in it that you should be making fun of it.
	And once you're made fun of, you've actually joined the American, you know, the American family.
	You should be able to make fun of everybody.
	And if you refuse that, then that that's a sign that there's something else going on.
	Well, I think I think that's the secret sauce if there's such a thing.
	Quick break more with uh Greg Gutfeld uh of the hit show The Five, and of course his late night show uh is following mine 10 p.m. every night on the Fox News channel.
	His new book is out, King of Late Night.
	Why?
	Because he's beating Fallon and and Kimmel and Colbert.
	Look, no shortage of ad support when you want to get an abortion, right?
	Planned parenthood gets a fortune from the federal government.
	Well, there's a mission of pre-born.com, and you know what they have been able to do, they're using the the science of 4D ultrasound that they offer free ultrasounds to any expecting mom.
	And the beauty is is when expecting moms hear heartbeats and see facial features and can count fingers and toes, uh the odds go up dramatically that they are going to give birth to the the miracle, the majesty of birth that's growing inside of them.
	Uh, but the only way they can do this this great work that they do is through your generosity and support, because they never will get you know any money from the federal government.
	There's one story, Lisa scared to death, did a quick search when where to go when she was pregnant, she found pre-born was able to schedule a free ultrasound because of your donations.
	And for the first time, she saw the baby, heard the heartbeat, and she chose life.
	That's what's happening every day, hundreds of times a day with pre-born because of your donations.
	Anyway, 28 bucks is what it costs for every ultrasound, whatever you can donate, tax deductible, go to preborn.com slash Sean S-E-A-N, or just dial pound 250 on your cell phone, say the keyword baby.
	Pound 250 keyword baby or preborn.com slash Sean S E A N. Alright, your calls on the other side as we continue.

	Hi boy with Greg Gutfeld.
	His new book is out.
	It's called The King of Late Night.
	It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores across the country.
	You're following me.
	We have uh uh uh we rolled out our new lineup at the Fox News channel.
	Uh um I'm the only one that stayed in the same slot I was in.
	And I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.
	Um however, uh you you move up an hour early.
	The you know, early rating success.
	I mean, it shows you you still just kick an ass anyway.
	I mean, there's no there's been a positive impact of anything.
	Do you like being up earlier?
	Yeah, it's weird because it's hard to fa it's hard to factor the numbers because you've got summer, right?
	So a lot of people aren't watching, I guess.
	It's a what you always see that dip.
	And we had some of the residual effects from um, you know, Tucker, which was a you know, also affected us.
	So it's hard to see, but we are definitely like going to 10, more eyeballs.
	There's more people watching it, and uh, we're watching us like surpass what we've done before, so that's really good.
	Uh, I know that people said, How dare how can you call yourself late night when you're on a 10?
	So, well, it's late night for a lot of people.
	Hell it's 10 o'clock is late night.
	Let's be real.
	Yeah, I I love people thinking that pretending they're all night owls.
	No, most people No, I I Greg, I love the people that would say, well, wait a minute, it's not fair because Jimmy Kimmel and and Colt and Fallon start at 1130 and and Greg starts at eleven.
	I'm like, okay, he's on eleven at twelve, so good nice try.
	Uh it's a head-to-head competition, and they're losing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And it's it it's it's um I don't know.
	I think that I'm gonna call I'm still calling myself king of late night.
	No one's taking that away from me.
	It's too late.
	I but I that's too late.
	You already won.
	Um let me ask this.
	Now you are not an overnight success.
	A lot of people may forget this.
	I do I remember it well because I'm I'm a night owl, so I saw red eye probably more than the average person.
	Yeah.
	And uh I mean, look, I mean, honestly, I didn't get into television until I was forty-three, I think, right?
	I would say I left magazines, and my first gig was at 3 a.m. doing red eye.
	So yeah, it was like this is not like I just didn't pop down into the five seat and then get this.
	I I was slogging away at 3 a.m.
	But that was great because that's where you get your swings.
	That's where you get your batting practice, and you fail.
	And I could it's there's nothing better than failing at 3 a.m. because the show didn't fail at 3 a.m.
	Um The show is actually successful.
	Now, obviously, overnight you're not gonna get the numbers you're gonna get at the five or at 10 p.m., but the show did well.
	Yeah, we were beating, I know we were being I remember beating Morning Joe in the morning at 3 a.m.
	Liberal morning show on this show, Greg.
	Just just you gotta put the liberal in front of it.
	Liberal Joe.
	Yeah.
	What happened to him?
	Isn't that weird?
	Another person broken by Trump.
	You can see them.
	I was on I was thinking to myself, I've been writing about this.
	I wrote a book on it called Joy of Eight about ten years ago, and I'm thinking like they're coming gonna come for me, and I don't know if I want to do this show at night.
	Like that was the late night, the new one.
	And I told Suzanne Scott, our CEO, I said, I don't feel I just don't want a target on my back.
	I got enough problems with the five and Saturday's show.
	Do I really want to do this?
	And then I thought, no, you gotta do it.
	You can't you you made the right call, obviously.
	The book is called King of Late Night, uh, Greg Gutfeld, uh, hit show the five, which nobody misses every day.
	Great ensemble cast, and also great ensemble casts.
	Uh, he is now surpassed, you know, all these network late night so-called comedy shows that aren't funny anymore.
	And uh his new book is out, King of Late Night, Amazon.com.
	We'll put a link on Hannity.com and bookstores around the country, and uh, Greg, of course, following Hannity every night, 10 p.m. on the Fox News Channel.

	All right, let's get to our phones.
	A lot of you have been very, very, very patient.
	All right, before we do, I want to get let me play Jason Aldean finally had a concert over the weekend, and you know, with all of the noise last week and the BS and the accusations.
	You know what?
	Finally he got a chance.
	Although he he very he pushed back really hard, and he did it fast, which I thought was very smart.
	Uh, and this is what he said at his concert this weekend.
	Well, I gotta tell you guys, man, it's been a long last week.
	It's been a long week, and I've seen a lot of stuff.
	I've seen a lot of stuff.
	Suggesting I'm this, suggesting I'm that.
	Hey, here's the thing.
	Here's the thing.
	Here's one thing I feel.
	I feel like everybody's entitled to their opinion.
	You can think you can you can think something all you want to doesn't mean it's true, right?
	So I am a proud American.
	I'm proud to be from our country.
	I want to sing and restore to what it once was before all this start happened to us.
	I love my concert, I love my family, and I will do anything to protect that.
	I can tell you that, bro.
	I can tell you that, bro.
	Here's what I want to say.
	A lot of things out there.
	And one thing I love, you guys know how it is this day and age cancel culture is a thing.
	That's something that people don't like what you say, they try and make sure that they can cancel you, which means try and ruin your life, ruin everything.
	One thing I saw this week was a bunch of country music fans.
	I could see through a lot of the amazing.
	And then this is the type of crap we were hearing from the mob and the media all week.
	I mean, it's a deplorable song and it's annoying.
	Got a gun that my granddad gave me.
	They say one day they're going to round up.
	Well, that S might fly in the city.
	Good luck.
	It's very divisive and provocative.
	What I thought of when I read that read that was a Maude Arbory.
	I think of a black man in a small town in the South who literally just got shot for doing nothing wrong.
	Now the Republicans backing him up are buying into that same same reality of okay, we're going to do racist things.
	We're going to do harmful things that target violence towards black and brown people.
	This song is about normalizing racist violence, vigilanteism, and white nationalism.
	I mean, the this this is cancel culture.
	This is cancel boycott, silence anybody that disagrees with you.
	Uh John Pennsylvania.
	John, how are you?
	Glad you called, sir.
	Thank you, Sean.
	Hey, let me get this straight.
	Are you saying I cannot tax deduct my sex club fees?
	I didn't even know these sex clubs exist.
	That's that that that's how out of that loop I am, all right.
	I don't I don't know anything about any sex clubs.
	Do you?
	Yeah, no one's even heard of them.
	God, it's it's so I never I mean back in the 70s in New York City, there's a famous place called Plato's Retreat, but uh short of that, no.
	I don't know any any such place, nor would I want to be uh associated with any such place, nor would I think it's a tax deductible item either.
	Yeah, we we call um around our house we call Hunter Caligula.
	Ouch.
	Wow.
	Uh that's actually a pretty not a bad nickname.
	Anyway, what what else is on your mind?
	Or or Nero or Nero.
	But I I wanted to just commend you for bringing Robert F. Kennedy uh for that town hall.
	It's I know it's controversial, I guess, for folks like you to bring him on, but he's done a lot for our family.
	Uh just reading, you know, the real Anthony Fauci, understanding the deep state uh the medical world.
	I mean, it's it's crazy.
	There's so many facts that the media doesn't report.
	I mean, this used to be something 60 Minutes would report, but there there's there's so much weird money stuff going on and corruption, and no one ever seems to identify it.
	I mean, just something simple like hey, the FDA, 50% of the FDA's funding comes from big pharma.
	Now that would be like um, you know, coal companies funding the EPA.
	I don't think the left would like that too much.
	And you know, the like the buy dole act.
	Um, you know, people in the CDC, NIH, F FDA, there's like I think seven or eight of them that I'm receiving about two hundred thousand a year, as I understand it, on the COVID vaccine because they're named on the patent.
	It's fine, but how can you judge if something's safe or not if you're gonna make two hundred thousand a year on it?
	Well, I gotta tell you, you look, I'm uh I have this town hall with them tomorrow, and by the way, if you want to go, tickets at Hannity.com tickets are free, and and we're taping this tomorrow.
	And uh looks, and I'll ask him about his controversial opinions.
	If people are in the media think it's my role to be debating him, I'm not gonna debate him.
	I'm gonna look and seek for his hand seek his answers and and ask maybe push them and ask them, okay, what makes you believe this?
	What is the science behind this, or or w what did you actually mean about the different things that you've said?
	Um, but I I think I'm doing a disservice to my audience if I make the show about me.
	Do you agree or disagree?
	Totally, totally.
	I predict you will um become friends with him.
	You're gonna do two more town halls with him.
	Sounds like you want to vote for him to me.
	Are you voting for him?
	No, no, I mean, uh I might my parents would turn over in their grave if I voted for a Democrat.
	But I I will say this, he's a great American in the sense of a Trump or even a George Washington, where he was just gonna have a life of leisure.
	I mean, he was the darling of the left, he was the number one environmental attorney in the country, sued Monsanto, cleaned up the Hudson River, you know, goes on and on and on.
	Now I guess he's a racist somehow.
	But um he didn't have to go into this vaccine thing, and of course, the only reason he's gone into that is because all these moms were well nobody ever wants to hear that the government lied to you when they said that if you got the shot, you weren't gonna get COVID and you wouldn't be infectious for other people.
	That didn't turn out the way they promised us, did it?
	No.
	No, I mean and then you get the shot, then you get the second shot, then you get the booster.
	Uh and and and everyone pr trying to pressure me to tell everybody else what to do.
	And and you know, I I'm coming under fire for saying it's not my my position to tell people.
	No, no, you you can't be put in that position.
	But what I'm saying is that there's things that people don't know, just simple, irrefutable facts, Sean.
	Like when you get a vaccine on the childhood schedule, there's no liability.
	That's the gold standard.
	It's billions of dollars forever for big pharma.
	That's just a fact.
	People don't understand that.
	That's why they were pushing to get the COVID vaccine onto the childhood schedule so desperately.
	And I know you've said, and I agree with you that big farmers obviously done a lot of great things.
	But they've done some crazy things.
	I mean Listen, this is why I I ur what I urge people from the beginning is take it seriously, talk to your doctor, look at your pre-existing conditions.
	Do you have any comorbidities?
	Look at your age, and then you guys have to decide.
	I don't know a thing about your medical history or your current medical condition.
	But anyway, you make good points.
	Uh appreciate you calling in.
	Thanks.
	Thanks so much.
	Uh John, uh let's go to New Jersey Sandra standing by.
	Sandra, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Oh, hi, Hannity.
	Um Sean, I wanted to say that I took a picture of you and my brother David at Donald Trump's inaugural ball.
	And that was a special night.
	And hope I'm hoping we have another one like that soon with him.
	But I also went to two of your um TV shows when Kellyanne Conway was the guest.
	And now tomorrow, I'm very excited because I'm going to the town hall to see you and RFK.
	Oh, I'm glad well, first of all, we're glad you're coming.
	Hannity.com for people that haven't signed up that would like to go.
	Uh and you know, you gotta be on the list, and I I don't know how it works.
	I'm not in charge of all that stuff.
	But anyway, we'd love to have you, but just go to Hannity.com.
	Look, I think it's going to be interesting.
	I'm I am interested.
	He's the one that wants to be president.
	He's expressing his views uh to convince you that he's the guy for the job.
	And it's sort of like a job interview, right?
	Right.
	Sean, you know, on this morning I read from the Harvest Harold Poll that he has the highest favorability rating than any of the other presidents hopefully right now.
	And he also said this morning that the media criticizes him more than they do Donald Trump.
	And he's standing strong, and he has a lot of good stuff, I believe, and my hope is that maybe he can come to the other side, maybe and and join Donald Trump.
	I don't know if that's possible.
	I don't think that's I don't think he's conservative enough on enough issues, and we'll try and we'll try and go over those issues.
	Maybe it'll surprise me tomorrow.
	I don't know.
	Okay.
	Well, I hope you have a good time.
	Make sure you come up to me and I'll give you a football, all right.
	Oh, okay.
	And I all can I ask a question tomorrow?
	How do I do that?
	Uh my staff will figure that out.
	I'm not sure.
	Um I'm not in charge.
	I just do the show.
	Anyway, appreciate your you being with us, Sandra.
	I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
	South Carolina Jim next, Sean Hannity show.
	How are you, Jim?
	I'm doing good, Sean.
	Thank you.
	I preface my remarks, 30-year law enforcement, and I was honored to be selected to attend the FBI National Academy, Quantico, Virginia, for three months.
	But after following Comey and now Ray at the 1023, the FBI agents, our agents that uh have testified.
	I I am at the point now where I'm taking my FBI uh in a diploma, uh, my yellow brick.
	It's a uh a brick you get when you do the obstacle courses.
	Um mailing them up and sending them back to Ray and tell him to take my name off any list associated with the FBI.
	There are thousands of graduates of the FBI National Academy, including also foreign graduates from Europe.
	And uh I hope some are listening because I hope they'll do the same thing to send a strong message to Ray and his corrupt organization that has absolutely ruined vilified and weaponized the FBI.
	I'm just I'm disgusted.
	Uh I I it's sad to hear what you're saying, and I happen to know a lot of people that have served and are currently serving in the FBI, and all of them, without exception pretty much, feel exactly the way you do, the rank and file feel exactly how you do.
	One one friend of mine, he's actually pretty high up in the FBI, you know, spent a lot of years there, recently retired, told me that it is not the same agency that I signed up for.
	And he left because of that.
	He was going to stay more years, but he said, you know what?
	I I just in good conscience couldn't stay with the current leadership and how it's been politicized and and what they do what they've been doing at the top.
	I mean they they are they're repulsed by it they know it's wrong.
	You know why do you think this you know confidential informant information was so revealing because the FBI had it the whole time and they did nothing with it.
	And all that suggests is they would they were you know running interference for the entire Biden family syndicate.
	It's it's just simply wrong.
	There's no other way to put it and they and they keep coming up with this we're under investigation.
	Listen I I was a homicide investigator for over ten years.
	If you didn't want to tell anything to the public your standard operating procedure was we're currently in investigation in Camp Reveal.
	That is such it's BS and it's uh I I wish that I w there are I mean literally Sean tens of thousands of graduates of the FBI and A. These are law enforcement professionals who are selected state to state to attend the FBI National Academy.
	My days go back to the early 90s.
	But I will tell you right now what a strong message I would send to If if they hear my voice and they do what I'm going to do that's send my credentials back and tell them to take me off their list.
	I'm no longer I'm embarrassed to even tell people I graduated from the FBI Academy.
	No don't don't I I strongly disagree with that part of it because that's something that you should be proud of and you're one of the ninety percent of good people in law enforcement that that risk your life for us every day the p general public and and I I think that's something you should be very proud of it's not it's not your fault that people at the top of that organization are abusing power have politicized the the bureau and you know are weaponizing justice.
	joins us tonight Sarah Carter doing investigative reporting uh Tulsi Gabbard Tommy Larrin Jason Rance Nine Eastern set you DBR Hannity on Fox we'll see you at nine please set your DBR Monday through Friday so you never ever ever miss an episode.
