If you want to be a part of this program, it's 800-941 Sean.
If you'd like to join us, I don't even know where to start.
You got James Carville calling the Democratic Party a cracked-out clown car.
You got Hunter Biden, Mr. Zero Experience himself, you know, of him, of him, of him, of him, of him, of him, of him, of him, of him.
He wants to, you know, drop an F bomb on everybody and then threatens.
Well, if I was president, I'm like, if you were president, I mean, you're never going to be president.
I can promise you that.
Linda keeps telling me that the chatter online is getting bigger.
I have never said I have any intention of running.
Is this chatter still existing?
It exists.
Wow.
I don't know where this came from.
It's not for me.
Anyway, we got that tape.
We're going to go through a lot of that today.
Oh, and then Hunter did give an educational guide on how to actually, you know, make crack cocaine.
Ron Rambo Deadfish annual hitting back at Hunter Biden after being attacked in that expletive layden rant.
We're going to play more.
We played some of it yesterday.
One Obama aide bashing Hunter Biden for this train wreck interview.
The White House giving a brutal response about Hunter.
I don't know how many F-bombs he dropped in a 60-second period.
Speaker Johnson dropping a 14-minute supercut.
I wish I could run the whole thing of Democrats insisting Biden's sharpest ever on the anniversary of him dropping out.
And, oh, we have a report on California.
They're not helping the fire victims at all.
I've been telling you this.
You know, I only saw, and Linda, if you saw more than I did, please tell me, one house that had been rebuilt.
That one house, however, had their permit before the fire even occurred.
And they had plans that already been approved for the complete redo remodel.
Nobody's getting, there's nothing expedited.
And now I think expedited is even overstating it.
They're just not getting anything.
And what they're doing is they're saying, we're now going to possess your land and it'll be taken for the government so that we can build low-income housing.
We want low-income housing in the Pacific Palisades.
You're right.
But they're not granting the permits.
And they're fining the people whose property it is because they're saying they're not cleaning it up.
So it's like, you can't clean it up because you don't have the permit, but we're fining you for us not giving you the permit.
It's such a complete catastrophe.
And Bass brought in the same guy who was doing the work that was in Hawaii.
How coincidental?
He's making half a million a month.
So I have friends of mine that live in the Pacific Palisades.
And as you know, I've always been into investing in real estate.
And I just prefer bricks and mortar over the stock market, although the stock market's looking pretty good under Donald Trump.
And I'll never forget, I think it was after one of the hurricanes hit Fort Myers and it just devastated the area.
And the guy approaches me and goes, I think we should go in.
We can get this waterfront property and we can rebuild and we can do this and we can do that.
And I said, no, thanks.
Why would I ever want to profit off of or potentially profit off other people's misery?
I didn't understand that.
I really did.
But, you know, the vultures come out.
Apparently, these big investment firms have been all over the Pacific Palisades.
Now, of course, the government is trying to do the same thing.
We have a lot to get to on all these fronts today.
I mean, Gavin Newsom demanding the immediate withdrawal of soldiers from L.A.
I guess being the podcaster that talks to conservatives didn't work.
So now he's calling Trump a son of a bitch and, you know, attacking him every way he can.
It does not take away from his record.
I'll tell you the hardest thing Gavin is going to be hit with if he runs for office.
He's going to be hit with every word, woke word he's ever uttered.
He's going to be hit with every name of every person that his sanctuary state, that lived in his sanctuary state, that were murdered and raped and victims of violent crime by illegal immigrants because they're aiding and abetting in their ability to stay in the country out there.
And, you know, Democrats, by the way, they want to blame CB, Trump for the CBS of the late show with Stephen Colbert.
I've been watching this train wreck coming for a long time.
This is simple, basic, fundamental arithmetic.
And there's two aspects to success in broadcasting.
One, you need an audience.
It's called ratings.
Two, you need to make revenue, and you can't be losing $40, $50 million a year and expect to keep a high-paying job like Stephen Colbert has.
And that's why Kimmel is next.
And after Kimmel, it's probably going to be Jimmy Fallon, unless I guess maybe he can get a consolidation in terms of ratings when the other two go away.
Ron DeSantis had a message for Andrew Cuomo: don't New York or Florida.
That's a perfect way to put it.
If people find themselves in a situation where they're going to leave states like New York and New Jersey and Chicago and California, don't bring your liberal policies with you and ruin the new state that you're going to.
We have a lot on the deep state today.
James Comer from his Ivory Tower saying there's honor in being fired from Trump's DOJ.
We have a lot of updates on all of that.
I did Patrick Bett David's podcast today.
Do you know Patrick Vette David, Linda?
You know him, right?
I do, absolutely.
It's a really good bunch of people.
Now, you know, it was funny during the podcast, they wanted to talk a lot about Epstein.
And I'm like, you know, when everyone kind of jumps on a topic as quickly as I feel that people rush to judgment on that topic, I said, usually my gut instinct is to just pull back and let events unfold a little bit.
Let's find out more about it.
I didn't even know that we'd have this news today that, what's the name?
Gisael Maxwell, that Pam Bondi is trying.
Ghislaine, is that her name?
Well, I don't know the name.
Dislaine Maxwell, yes.
Okay, whatever.
And she is in prison and was close to Epstein.
And Pam Bondi apparently is going to make an effort to go see her.
And, you know, one of the reasons I've been a little more hesitant to others is I have known Pam Bondi for 30 years.
I've known Dan Bongino for, you know, decades.
I've known Cash Patel for a long, long period of time, you know, from his time working with Devin Nunes.
And I just know these people to be people of character.
And I just found, I found the rush to judgment a little too quick.
And I expect that maybe expectations were set too high.
But I don't, but remember when they came into office, and I'm not making excuses for them.
I want answers like everybody else does.
And I've said that very clearly.
But I don't think we're at the point where everyone needs to go DEF COM 5 either.
And I think a lot of people have.
And I think one of the reasons, and I was explaining to them, when people, you know, get all intense at a moment like that and kind of, you know, come to their snap judgment conclusion, I tend to stand back and wait.
And it served me very well.
And I told them the story that I've told on this program many times, that I learned the lesson from Richard Jewell, that I was on the air when the AJC declared he was the, you know, he fit the profile of the lone bomber because he lived with his mother and it didn't make any sense to me.
And I said so at the time, didn't know that he was listening to the program and later telling me that I was the only one that was even remotely fair to him because I didn't go along with the rush to judgment.
And the same thing, it served me well in the Duke La Crosse case.
I actually spent time, went out, met some of the families and some of the kids involved.
I knew exculpatory evidence would prove that these kids were not responsible, even though 100 professors and most of the country, you know, wanted these kids, you know, locked up and have the key thrown away.
The same thing with UVA.
The same thing with Ferguson, Missouri, the same thing with Freddie Gray, the same thing with the Russia hoax, which we're going to get into in more details again today.
The same thing with FISA abuse.
The same thing with the first impeachment.
You know, it's not an accident that I'm right in all of these occasions.
And sure enough, the two new developments, I think if there was any mistake, there was a belief that the files would have a list of clients' names and people and associates that may have been involved in this pedophilia and this activity.
And we just, they really wanted answers.
I said, I just, I think the story is incomplete right now, and I'm just waiting.
And I explained how that has served me well in my career.
And sure enough, I leave the podcast and I find out, well, Pam Bondi is going to meet with Maxwell in prison and that they have requested, we know this too, grand jury testimony to be released so that that could be released to the public as well.
Also, my sources have pretty much confirmed and corroborated that the tapes, the hours of tapes, were downloaded kiddie porn.
That's never going to be made public.
The other problem where things become problematic, and the president's been pointing this out, a lot of this information, you know, if it was so important and if it was so devastating to Donald Trump and others, well, we know the Biden administration and that weaponized DOJ had all this information for four years.
Nobody seemed to care.
Nobody ever demanded its release.
And the idea that they wanted to release it, and maybe it's not what they thought it was at the time that they said they were going to release it is not as alarming to me as it seems to be to other people.
And I'm just confident that the process has got to play out a little bit more before people, you know, make their final judgment.
And, you know, again, I think the methods by which we go about things has served us well over the years.
I'll give you one example.
You know, President Trump earlier today, we'll play this later, you know, said that he thinks that ex-President Obama should be referred for criminal prosecution regarding his behavior in the lead up to and after the 2016 election.
He was with the Philippine president earlier today, and President Obama started it.
Biden was there with him.
Comey was there.
Clapper was there.
I believe Brennan was also there.
The whole group was there.
He told reporters and he said, you know, he quote said, this was treason.
This was every word you can think of.
They tried to steal the election.
Now, what this really is all about, then in a statement released Friday, and then I interviewed Tulsi Gabbard on Friday night, the issue I am raising is not a partisan issue.
It's one that concerns every American.
The information we are releasing clearly shows that there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government.
Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a year-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the president from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.
You have more declassified documents show that Comey, you know, was swayed by mysterious intel reports to end the Clinton email inquiry.
We'll have more, by the way, with Greg Jarrett later in the program.
John Solomon said, if you look at what she declassified, the career Intel people, rank and file, they came to one conclusion, and I'll use John Solomon's words, when it got to the upper ranks because they had a political agenda, they polluted it, turned it on its head, and made it out to be the exact opposite of what it was.
And then we have the now declassified, classified appendix to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's 2018 report criticizing the politicized conduct of the FBI's mid-year exam investigation into Clinton's mishandling of classified information.
And, you know, Comey, you know, no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute in July 2016.
The FBI then formally launched their crossfire hurricane investigation.
Quote, this document shows an extreme lack of effort and due diligence on the FBI's investigation of Clinton's email usage, mishandling of highly classified information.
That, according to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.
So what she's really saying here, and this is where the FBI and Cash Patel, by opening this grand conspiracy investigation into the deep state, which we have reported on extensively now for going on, you know, nearly 10 years, nearly a decade, is that in every one of these elections in 2016,
they give Hillary a pass, and then they go with a manufactured, what they knew was a manufactured, you know, bought and paid for dirty disinformation dossier that they used for FISA, that they used in a FISA court and abused the court, knowing that it was all untrue.
And then in 2020, then, of course, we had the 51 former Intel officials that knew nothing about Hunter's laptop, but even though it had been verified in March of 2020 and then pre-bunked by the FBI going to all these big social media companies in the leadup, knowing that Rudy Giuliani's attorney would release it before the election.
And then in 2024, they used all the lawfare in the world.
And again, they're putting cinder blocks on the scales of presidential elections.
That's what this grand conspiracy investigation is all about.
I can't sum it up any better than that.
I hope it makes sense to people.
But the unfortunate thing is nobody's really given thought or credit for a 40,000-foot view look at how transformational and consequential the last six months have been.
That frustrates me.
Your honor, James Comey, what I can assure the American people is that this investigation into Hillary's homebrew server was done competently, honestly, independently.
No, the Inspector General concluded just the opposite, that that really damning evidence was overlooked.
Then a Judiciary Committee released a bombshell report revealing Comey's FBI, quote, failed to investigate Hillary's use of private email servers and mishandling of highly classified information as her time as Secretary of State.
And if anyone's got anyone shocked, I've got some beachfront property to sell you.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
I-25 to the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean is on number.
Right now, the situation in Israel, it is so historically fragile and urgent.
Look at all this country has been through fighting for its very survival under threat constantly.
Israeli neighborhoods completely wiped out, destroyed, tens and tens of thousands of Israelis displaced, dozens of Israelis dead, untold more injured.
You know, peacetime, wartime, the people of Israel know, you know, an overwhelming number of ballistic missiles could fall at any moment.
You know, when those sirens sound, they often have only 15 seconds to reach a bomb shelter.
Now, Israel does not have enough of them, especially in Tel Aviv and to Israel's north, where countless attacks have been concentrated.
That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists, and we're proud to partner with them.
And they've been working around the clock, providing humanitarian assistance, food, water, clothing, medicines, housing, you name it.
They provide it.
They're also, by the way, working around the clock to build and place hundreds of concrete reinforced bomb shelters, each and every one of them, ready when the next rocket strike occurs.
And they're deploying 60 new bomb shelters, including 10 immediate placements and 50 upgraded models with blast-resistant steel doors to protect vulnerable Israeli communities from these future threats.
Whatever you can do to support them in this incredible mission in their hour of need is deeply appreciated.
Please donate generously.

That's ifcj.org today.
Let's go back to Hunter Biden.
Now, we played some of this yesterday.
We didn't play all of it yesterday.
And Hunter Biden drops a lot of F-bombs.
Now, Linda, did you keep the F-bombs in?
Because I know that that is part of your vernacular, a regular part of your vernacular, a daily part of your vernacular.
It's not daily.
It's occasional.
You know, it used to be a lot more before kids, but it's better.
Fake news alert.
Not true.
I used to curse like every other word.
Now I do it every five days.
Oh, it's an everyday.
I said it's an everyday occurrence.
I apologize.
I use it all the time.
Anyhow.
All right.
And when you tried to give up cursing for Lent, how did that work?
That was a miserable failure.
Miserable failure.
Miserable.
Horrible.
I think I cursed.
I cursed while telling you I gave it up, which is even more embarrassing.
I admit it, but it's horrible.
No, I told you the day before when you said you were going to give it up, you won't last a half a day.
You won't last an hour.
I didn't last a minute.
You didn't.
And are you going to try and give it up this next Lent or no?
I try every Lent.
Every Lent I try.
It's the same thing.
Why don't you just try to do it as a regular occurrence and maybe it'll go away?
It's just for my stress to get it out, you know?
It's good.
Especially when I drive.
Well, you have a soulmate in Hunter Biden.
You have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration.
You.
How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned?
How do you think you have food on your table?
Who do you think washes your dishes?
Who do you think does your fucking garden?
Who do you think is here by the sheer Just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance.
And he's somehow convinced all of us that these people are criminals.
Wow.
Very angry.
A lot of F-bombs.
You know what the irony is in all of this?
If you look at all the things that he mentioned, like my family didn't take family vacations.
I remember one weekend away, like in the Catskills or something.
And we stayed in a motel.
We didn't have family vacations.
We just didn't do it.
My parents couldn't.
First of all, he's not taking family vacations.
The only reason he knows about hotels is because that's where he keeps all his hookers and cocaine.
That's the only reason he knows about hotels.
Okay.
Well, that was his former life, according to him.
Oh, yeah.
But, yeah.
Now, but, you know, you know, who he talks about the food and the dishes and the garden.
By the way, most people that I know have a garden, do their own garden.
I actually had a garden for a number of years of my life.
Did you know that?
You did not know I did.
I did.
Your sister told me that.
And your sister told me you were actually very, very good at it.
I was good at it because I was diligent.
I mean, you got to get all those weeds out of the way.
You got to water it.
I was so excited every year when my corn would pop up in rows.
I loved it.
It was great.
Cucumbers.
You did tomatoes.
Tomatoes.
I did tomatoes.
I did corn.
I did bell peppers.
What else did I do?
My sister likes zucchini, so she, I used to make her zucchini.
And, you know, after three years of doing it, and it was a pretty big, you know, piece of land, it was a lot of work.
You know, you'd have to till the land.
You'd have to get it ready.
You'd have to plant the seeds.
You'd have to then show up every day.
You'd have to weed it.
You'd have to water it.
I mean, it was a lot of work.
And then I'd be driving home and I'd pass like a stand.
This was when I lived in Rhode Island.
And it'd be like, oh, six years, 12 years of corn for a dollar or $2.
I'm like, why am I putting on all this work for nothing?
But I did it.
And it was a good experience because you realize where food comes from.
Most of us don't know where food comes from.
I mean, it sounds ridiculous to some guy that's on a tractor right now that's producing all the food, but there's such a small percentage of farmers that produce all of the food that feed all of us.
And I'm, by the way, grateful to all of them.
But back to Hunter, I mean, he's so angry, lashing out at Nancy Pelosi, you know, melting down over George Clooney and his op-ed about his father slamming fake Jake Tapper.
Maybe the one thing we agree on, but for different reasons.
Let's play some of these.
And you would have the speaker at Emeritus that would say, well, you know, I'm going to leave it up to, but I don't know.
And they had already made a decision.
They had clearly made a decision.
And when I say they, I mean the speaker.
And, you know, I heard Alexander Pelosi say something, call my, my, like, put your big girl pants on to my mom or something.
And I kind of want to feel like saying, who the do you think you are?
I would never speak about your mom that way.
Yeah.
I would never speak about your father that way.
I would never insult your parents that way.
Even to this day, I would never refer to the speaker as anything but speaker.
Who's Jake Tapper's audience?
Jake Tapper?
My mom or something?
I don't know.
Well, I don't know.
For real, though.
I don't even think it's your mom anymore.
By the numbers.
What influence does Jake Tapper have over anything?
He has the smallest audience on cable news.
And beyond that, I think that the book is right now on Amazon that he put out.
I mean, his ratings just went to after he put the book out.
And, you know, they did a two-week infomercial for it.
I mean, it was such a money grab, such a disservice to everybody that he serves with.
The journalism that he purports to take part in.
Him.
Him and everybody around him.
I don't have to be nice.
Number one, I agree with Quentin Tarantino.
George Clooney is not a fing actor.
He is a figure.
I don't know what he is.
He's a brand.
And by the way, and God bless him.
You know what?
He supposedly treats his friends really well.
You know what I mean?
Buys them things.
And he's got a really great place in Lake Como.
And he's great friends with Barack Obama.
You.
What do you have to do with anything?
Why do I have to listen to you?
What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full-page ad in the New York Times to undermine the president?
You know what George Clooney did?
Because he sat down, I guess, because he was like given the blessing by the Obama team or the Obama people and whoever else and David Axelrod and whoever the f else used to go, okay, yeah.
You know what?
We are going to insert our judgment over yours.
We, me, and James Carville, who hasn't run a race in 40 years, and David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama.
And that was because of Barack Obama, not because of David Axelrod.
And David Plough and all of these guys, and the Pod Save America guys, who were junior speech writers in, you know, on Barack Obama's Senate staff, who have been dining out on the relationship with him for years, making millions of dollars.
The Anita Dunns of the world, who's made $40, $50 million off the Democratic Party, they're all going to insert their judgment over a man who has figured out, unlike anybody else, how to get elected to the United States Senate over seven times.
Does crack cocaine make you act any differently?
No.
Is it safer than alcohol?
Probably.
People think of crack as being dirty.
It's the exact opposite.
When you make crack, what you're doing is you're burning off all the impurities so that they're combined with sodium bicarbonate, which makes it smokable.
That's all.
Wow.
I feel like I learned something today.
I didn't know.
I didn't know how to make crack.
Did you not make crack?
I have to say, I did not.
I did not.
Yeah.
Something tells me that, you know, Hunter didn't do a lot of gardening.
Perhaps that why maybe he thinks you need so much help.
Now, look, I mean, I'm not going to dispute.
He's not wrong that all these people, you know, stabbed his dad in the back.
Problem is, all these people protected him for the longest period of time until it became completely untenable.
And he doesn't even acknowledge that fact.
George Clooney is, and his wife can't stand him.
You know, fake Jake is just a fake, phony fraud.
Period, end of sentence.
And he's not wrong about these Obama people either and how they've lived off the Obama connection, you know, as little as it might have been.
He's not wrong in all of that.
I think he's got anger management issues.
If you were dealing with him every day, this would be every segment would be, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Then he defended, let's go to him defending his qualifications for being on the barrel board.
Now, remember, he famously went on ABC's Good Morning America, and he's getting paid millions of dollars.
And then he admits on Good Morning America, he never had any experience in energy, oil, gas, or Ukraine, and yet he's being paid millions.
And of course, don't forget the WhatsApp Matt, WhatsApp app Met.
Oh, geez.
The WhatsApp message.
I am sitting here with my father.
And between everybody he knows and my ability to hold a grudge.
Why didn't you fulfill your promise?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You're going to regret it.
According to James Comer, money was sent millions of dollars days after.
Makes all this money.
And then did you notice he was lecturing people and the money that they make in this whole thing, totally oblivious to the utter hypocrisy of how he made his money while cashing in off the Biden name with no experience.
Listen.
How do you move forward in this world if every discussion you began is a defense of, you know, I know I went on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company.
A lot of it had to do with money, 100%.
You know, I had an organization that was willing to pay me for a service that I was 100% qualified to do.
I went to Yale Law School.
I served on dozens of boards before this.
I was an expert in corporate governance.
I have an encyclopedia, pedicuk knowledge of the region.
I had served on a major infrastructure company's board and had done work in global aid relief throughout the entire world and had an enormous list of connections of my own.
And I was qualified to be on that board.
And it gave me the freedom at a time when I really needed the freedom to be with my family, to focus on my brother's health.
And I chose to do it.
And I was transparent about it.
And I did it.
It wasn't transparent that I recall.
You remember transparency?
I don't remember any such thing.
But we're going to see what happens here.
Back to this whole investigation, grand conspiracy.
The FBI did not review thumb drives containing potentially significant evidence while investigating Hillary Clinton's private email server, according to this classified report.
FBI draft memo, May of 2016, stating reviewing the thumb drives would be necessary to conduct a thorough and complete investigation, including assessing national security risks associated with the private server, yet the agency never finalized the memorandum or submitted this request to the department, according to this document released by Senator Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
They purposely set this whole thing up.
This is all you'd really need to know, is this grand conspiracy investigation is really about the following.
Did people in the highest levels of our government, the deep state as we call them, did they take information, pervert it, turn it on its head for the purposes of impacting the 2016 election?
That would be using what they knew to be the fake, phony, fraudulent Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier in 2020 when they knew darn well that the Hunter Biden laptop story would leak because Bob Costello, Rudy's attorney, they all knew he had a copy.
They verified its authenticity in March of 2020.
They went on a mission, the FBI, to pre-bunk that laptop by warning every big tech company that you may be a victim in the lead up to this election of Russian disinformation.
It may be about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, or Burisma.
Then the New York Post story drops.
New York Post story drops.
Well, to the credit of people like Mark Zuckerberg, whether you like him or not, or to the credit of Jack Dorsey, whether you liked him or not, it doesn't matter.
They did ask the FBI, is this what you were warning about, or is this true?
They knew it was a real laptop.
They refused to tell them the truth.
So their debunking stuck and the story got stifled.
Again, cinder blocks on the scale to tip a presidential election.
What do you think weaponization in all these years from 2020 to 2024 were about?
They saw Donald Trump was going to move forward and run one more time for president.
So they threw everything they had at him, including this novel legal theory, even though the statute of limitations had run out on a legal non-disclosure agreement labeled as a legal expense.
That was a misdemeanor to begin with.
And they trumped that up in a way-what 34 counts, whatever the number was.
And then having a DA that ran on a platform to get one man, one family, and one organization prosecuting the case, coordinating with the weaponized DOJ, having the third top official in that department go to work with Alvin Bragg so they can secure a conviction to stop Trump.
Well, it didn't stop him.
That's why legacy media is dead.
Anyway, I want to tell you about Gold Co.
Listen, my free state of Florida now made it legal to use gold and silver as money.
