This is an iHeart Podcast.
And thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program.
It is 800-941 Sean if you want to join us.
Before we get going today, and and I've got a lot to say about this eight-year-old misdemeanor, uh somehow convoluted into a felony, statute of limitations, uh a Biden donor judge who should have recused himself because of family members that will uh involved in the issues surrounding the case.
Uh we'll get to that in a second.
Before we do that, I want to highlight something that I think is important, and we're going to get to obviously, you know, what we are anticipating.
Tensions are high.
There is no doubt that Israel's going to respond.
I have no doubt in my mind.
I don't know what the response is going to be, but I I hope it is substantial because anything short of a substantial response will only embolden Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to continue what they have been doing.
We have a lot to say on that in the course of the program.
We have all things simple man Bill O'Reilly today.
We got a lot, we got a lot on the on the plate.
Uh, and we'll get your calls in throughout the day as well.
But I want to first highlight that your attorney general, our weaponized Department of Justice, Merrick Garland, uh, has now inadvertently admitted that this recording, remember, the House Oversight Committee, House Judiciary Committees.
They have subpoenaed the transcripts, the tapes of Robert Herr, the special counsel investigating Joe Biden, and the fact remember the special counsel determined that he willfully kept top secret classified documents.
He had them in eight separate locations, although numerous locations within one location, but different parts of the House, etc.
And that Joe Biden even went as far as to say, Oh, I found new uh classified documents today.
Let me share with my ghostwriter.
Anyway, so rightly so.
The committees, they they have a role, the Congress's role and oversight.
They have requested that the attorney general, they have subpoenaed the attorney general over and over again that he release the interview of Joe Biden with the special counsel, the one in which he said, yeah, the re one of the reasons we didn't prosecute,
because he comes across as a likable old man, very forgetful, uh blah, blah, blah, and we probably wouldn't get a guilty verdict, because he's gonna come across as a forgetful old man, uh, even though he willfully did that which, of course, Donald Trump is being prosecuted for, that which Donald Trump's home Mar Lago got invaded over.
And again, the the two-tier system of justice is exposed because of your Hillary Clinton, you have top secret classified information on a server or on your servers.
Uh and and the FBI identifies it, it's no reasonable prosecutor, would ever prosecute, and here we are looking at a prosecution, but only if you're a Republican Donald Trump.
Uh never mind that Hillary deleted 33,000 emails that had been subpoenaed and destroyed the servers, the the hard drives with bleach bit and destroyed devices with hammers and removed SIM cards, all of which happened.
This is the weaponization of our Department of Justice.
And anyway, the attorney general repeatedly was defending the president's cognitive fitness for office yesterday, telling Congress repeatedly that Joe Biden had no impairment, despite what the special counsel, Robert Herr, cited about Biden's foggy memory.
Was I still vice president in 2009?
Uh you became vice president in 2009, Joe.
Uh and well, I I was disgusted when he brought up my my my son, blah, blah, blah.
Well, he the special counsel never did that.
Joe did that.
And now the House and these committees are now threatening that they because they've been so uncooperative at Joe Biden's weaponized DOJ that they may have to hold the attorney general of The United States in contempt of Congress.
He is facing a contempt vote by House Republicans because of his outright refusal to hand over tapes of Biden's interviews with her.
Transcript transcript show apparent Biden confusion at a very high level.
But yet Garland testified yesterday and argued yesterday would violate department norms to provide the actual audio, which quote would likely be used by Republicans to oppose Biden's bid for a second term in a November election.
Well, now we got the real reason that Merrick Garland uh is protecting Joe Biden at all costs, and he's not cooperating with a legal subpoena and legitimate justified oversight of a congression of congressional committees.
So the reason they don't want the American people to hear the tapes is because they know that those tapes will be devastating to Joe Biden, likely causing him a chance at re-election, and Merrick Garland is now interfering in the election himself.
Now, that would tell me that I I know they're going to give him one more chance, apparently the committees, to hand over these tapes.
But based on that statement, I don't see that forthcoming.
Well, then their only recourse is to hold the attorney general in contempt.
I would say the next step would be to impeach him.
However, the Republicans don't have enough votes in the House and too many rhinos in the House to actually get that done.
By the way, Biden's disastrous speech.
I don't think this is out of bounds at all.
You know, so many people get so triggered if they even see or hear Donald Trump's voice.
You know, Donald Trump now is being forced into a courtroom for what will at least be a month, maybe longer, and if he misses a single day as of now, misses one day, he's going to be put in jail according to the judge.
Well, can I push back on that for a hot second?
I gotta say one thing.
If you're watching Donald Trump, this man is being persecuted from all sides.
He's the human version of Israel.
Doesn't matter where he turns, somebody's trying to kill him.
And I can honestly say, like you go up into Harlem and people just start singing in your presence.
The Star Stack.
He went to he went to the Bodega where remember the worker there, what's his name, Jose Alba, had to defend himself.
Remember, they wanted to arrest this guy.
Yeah, he and Alba have something in common now.
Bragging after both of them.
Okay, and what happened?
The people spoke and thankfully the charges had to be dropped because of public pressure.
And what's what's fascinating about it is they were chanting four more years for Trump.
We actually have it.
It's cut three today.
It's only 30 seconds.
It's pretty awesome.
They want to have a lot of crap.
Not right now.
We'll do it.
We'll do it in a second.
But then, but also the Chick-fil-A.
Another moment.
These are the people that was in Atlanta.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
If I'm Donald Trump, I'd be going all over the city of New York right after uh each day's trial that he's forced to attend or else he's going to be put in jail.
But think about this.
This now leaves an open field of swing state campaigning to one candidate on top of everything else that they're doing.
You know, well, welcome to the United States of America.
And by the way, Joe's appearance in Scranton was a disaster as it usually is.
He had a hard time remembering where he was, supposedly where he grew up.
We're now two hundred and one days away from election day.
Donald Trump can't campaign at all.
He's stuck in this courtroom.
He's stuck with a gag order, but all the people that will likely be testifying against them, they're peering all over social media, all over cable television, giving interviews here, there, and everywhere.
I mean, I think it's fair for Donald Trump to want to point out that the judge in this case donated to Biden.
I think it's fair that he point out that this is a case from over eight years ago whose statute of limitations have officially come and they have gone.
I think it's fair of the president to point out that had they not run out that this would be a misdemeanor based on New York law, and that by a long stretch the the very well the DA in New York, Alvin Bragg is trying to actually use federal charges against Donald Trump and basically take what would be a misdemeanor and turn it into a felony.
And the media mob is is ecstatic.
They're orgasmic over it.
You know, one fake news CNN host, you know, celebrating with a banner that reads Biden hits the trail while Trump sits in court.
Does anybody not see that they have taken the opposition presidential candidate off the campaign trail?
And if they have their way, this would be the entire the next two hundred and one days that they keep Donald Trump locked away with a gag order in a courtroom so he can't campaign.
Oh, the giddiness.
You know, it's like the Super Bowl over at the hard-hitting news show The View, according to one of their hosts.
This is not an ordinary trial.
This this taxpayer-funded media promoted smear campaign against Trump, where they shut where he has a gag order and the threat of jail if he opens his mouth and is and the other people that are in involved in this case have no such thing.
You got a prosecutor that ran on getting Trump, just like the AG in in New York did.
The judge donates to Biden.
You can't make this up.
The jury pool comprised of Americans living in the deepest of blue cities, where only 12% of the electorate voted for Donald Trump.
It's a misdemeanor document labeling allegation.
It dates back eight years, well past the statute of limitations.
And they mysteriously found a way to bring it back and turn it into a felony.
But none of this matters.
It's not about justice.
It's not about keeping Americans safe.
It's not about a DA that has reduced 60% of felony cases to misdemeanors.
No, he upgrades it.
If your last name's Donald Trump, This is a city where violent criminals, gang members, drug dealers, sex offenders, you know, the no bail laws, let them right back out on the street.
Nothing.
And if they do get tried, it's the punishment is minimal.
You know, it's the it's all part of the no-bail law, defund, dismantle, reimagine police insanity.
You know, Donald Trump now is effectively removed from the campaign trail at the height of an election.
The judge threatening jail again and again.
You're going to call this over what?
You know, and we have, you know, a letter from Stormy Daniels in her own words, you know, out there saying in a signed statement that in fact none of this ever ever happened.
You you gotta be kidding me.
You really on so many levels, you just can not make this up.
You really can't.
But this is the America we're living in today.
This is not equal justice, an equal application of our laws by any stretch of the imagination.
You know, the statement of Stormy Daniels, by the way, this was the official statement, January 30th of 2018, to whom it may concern.
Over the past few weeks, I've been asked uh countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship that I had with Donald Trump many, many years ago.
The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair is denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017, and now in 2018, dated January 30th, 2018.
I am not denying this affair because I was paid quote unquote hush money, as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids.
Now it's reported everywhere.
I am denying this affair because it never happened.
I will have no further comment on the matter.
Please feel free to check me out on Instagram and she gives her Instagram account out.
Okay, and and a lead witness in this case.
Yeah, I think I think in Congress they discovered that he had lied to Congress.
Yeah, that would be a crime.
Pretty unbelievable.
Uh we've got a lot of ground to cover today.
We're going to get to all the issues involving Israel.
We got Bill O'Reilly on the program, and uh we'll get a lot of your calls in also.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Want to remind you about our friends of Pure Talk.
You know, you can't even spend 20 bucks and get a great burger and fries.
Things are so expensive with the Biden economy, but I can tell you what 20 bucks will get you a great deal on your cell phone, and that's if you go with my cell phone company, a veteran-owned company called Pure Talk.
Now, remember, Pure Talk, they use the same 5G network.
They use the same cell towers as the big carriers, ATT, Verizon and T-Mobile.
You get the same exact service, but you get it at half the cost.
As a matter of fact, in these tough economic times, average family is saving close to a thousand dollars a year.
No contract to sign, no activation fee.
You know, you can join the hundreds of thousands of us stampeding away from the big carriers to get the same service and save money.
You just dial pound 250.
You say the keyword save now, do it now.
You'll save an additional 50% off your first month.
Pound 250, keyword save now.
And by the way, after that, you probably can afford the burger and fries that cost over 20 bucks.

You know, it's the most politically charged case in the country.
And what do we know about the judge?
He donates to Biden.
You don't think that's a conflict?
Congresswoman Lisa Stefan, you know, said it pretty well that the judge's daughter is, quote, a democratic political operative who's financially benefited from her father's unprecedented trial of Trump.
Now, keep in mind, New York law does forbid this type of prejudice.
Actually, we know the exact article.
It's Article 2, Section 14.
At the state statutory grounds for disqualification, a judge shall not sit as such in or take any part in the decision of an action claim matter motion or proceeding to which he is a party, or in which he has been attorney or counsel, or in which he is interested, or in which, or if he is related to any party to the controversy within the sixth degree.
In other words, yeah, if your daughter is a democratic operative working uh against the defendant with the defendant's top bow enemies, let's see, like Adam Schiff, the congenital liar.
Uh you can't preside over the case.
For some reason, the firm where the judge's daughter works, they they won't get back to us.
We're just looking for a statement.
We're being polite.
The judge, meanwhile, doesn't seem to understand the concept of fair.
I mean, a gag order for Donald Trump, but not for any of the other people that that hate him that will be testifying in this case.
The first seven jurors have been seated.
We have a lot of information about them.
I'll share that with you when we get back on the other side.
But anyway, uh, we'll tell you, I don't know how much you can glean from this, but it's certainly interesting.
And by the way, states like New York, I'll tell you about what the law is.
They tend to craft their own rules and trial waivers, but under criminal procedure 340.50, a defendant can waive his right to be present at a trial in doing so.
If the prosecution doesn't object, then the judge may grant the waiver.
Well, why don't you let Donald Trump go out and campaign then?
All right, when we come back, we'll check in with all things simple man Bill O'Reilly, and also Congressman Greg Stooby will be with us as uh he is moving forward with 60 GOP House colleagues to designate 11 Iranian proxies as foreign terrorist organizations so Biden can stop giving the money.
Israel says they will retaliate.
It could be imminent, it could be at any moment.
We don't know.
But don't worry, the White House advisor is defending Iran's right to defend itself.
You have an Arab American activist regarding Joe's handling of this with a history of anti-Israeli rhetoric praising terrorist organizations.
And uh Biden's advisors contacted him to gauge the his reaction to Biden's phone call with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Yeah, okay.
Guess what?
This guy did not support Ur I guess uh did not support Israel.
