All right.
Thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, this is getting more fascinating by the day.
We're going to get back to Hunter's interview in just a second here, but more declassified documents.
It shows everything that we reported at the time on this program with our very small ensemble cast about the deep state, about James Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and everything that we knew.
It's fascinating when you read these newly declassified documents and you have career intel officers making an assessment about, quote, Russian interference.
And it said just the opposite of what the leadership or the deep state operatives within these three letter agencies were telling the public.
You know, there's more details, for example, in the declassified information showing how James Comey's FBI mishandled their investigation into Hillary Clinton.
No reasonable prosecutor would prosecute than the illicit private email server.
And then that raises the double standard.
Well, we had Joe Biden, four separate locations, and we know what happened with him.
His home didn't get raided.
None of his offices got raided.
The only one that had presidential protections was Donald Trump.
And anyway, what we're really discovering here is the classified appendix to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz 2018 report criticizing the politicized conduct of the FBI's mid-year exam investigation into Clinton's mishandling of classified information.
Remember, nobody had heard of Bleach Pit.
Nobody had heard that devices were destroyed and SIM cards were removed.
He ended up having more top secret classified information on her servers than Donald Trump than they ever discovered at Mar-a-Lago in a raid because there's a double standard.
And Comey unilaterally made that speech in July of 2016.
As I said, no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute.
But at the same time, the FBI then formally launched into Operation Crossfire Hurricane and what now is emerging into a much bigger narrative here.
In other words, I kept referring to cement blocks being put on the scales of an election.
And in 2016, it was the phony Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier that James Comey was warned in August of 2016 not to use.
And he did use it.
He signed three of the four FISA applications.
And that was the information.
They basically lied to a court.
Then you go to 2020 and the 51 former Intel officials that knew nothing about the very real Hunter Biden laptop.
There's so much to unpack in all of this here.
Let me play John Brennan defending the intelligence that said Russians were trying to hurt Hillary Clinton, but that when you read the declassified memos that were put out, it says just the opposite from the Intel officers that were actually writing it.
As John Solomon said, they polluted it.
They corrupted it.
They advanced it for political purposes.
Anyway, here's Brennan.
Anybody who looks at the Intelligence Community Assessment and the work that was done will see that it was very carefully worded, meticulously done, and it stands up to scrutiny in time.
As you pointed out, there have been numerous reviews about it, and it didn't say any of the things that Tulsa Gabbard alleges it said or didn't say.
And I really do encourage people to read it because it was very clear in terms of what it said that the Russians were using at President Putin's direction, influence operations to try to denigrate Hillary Clinton, try to increase the prospects for Donald Trump's election, and also just to undermine the integrity of our election system.
And again, those were the primary judgments.
Again, they are ones that certainly I and others who are involved continue to stand behind.
Where did she come up with her own unique set of allegations from Director Brennan?
Well, unfortunately, I think she's been able to pull some people together who are going to put together this brief that, again, is ludicrous in terms of the substance, the content of it.
And then they make these specious allegations.
And again, as I said, like a lawyer's brief.
What she's doing is pushing this out into the social media environment and trying to, again, gain some attention and to ingratiate herself with Donald Trump because clearly over the past several weeks, it appears as though she has lost some favor and is trying to now use this as an opportunity to carry favor once again.
But again, the specious, specious allegations that both she and Ratcliffe are making based on the things that they're putting out really are quite concerning and quite dangerous.
Yeah, well, let me read.
The Senate Judiciary Committee released a bombshell report revealing that Comey's FBI, quote, failed to fully investigate Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and mishandling of highly classified information during her time as Secretary of State.
And this news comes from what they're calling the Clinton Annex.
And now you can read it for yourself because it's just been declassified and it shows an extreme lack of effort, basically protection, basically a campaign donation, a total lack of due diligence in their investigation of Clinton.
And then we know that they treated Donald Trump years later very, very differently.
Grassley called Comey's efforts negligent and contrasted that to the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which he was warned not to use at dossier.
Now, we also have a clip of James Clapper and talking about how Obama ordered the intelligent assessment that resulted in the Mueller investigation.
Let's play that.
One point I'd like to make, Anderson, that I don't think has come up very much before, and I'm alluding now to the president's criticism of President Obama for all that he did or didn't do before he left office with respect to the Russian meddling.
If it weren't for President Obama, we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set off a whole sequence of events which are unfolding today, notably Special Counsel Mueller's investigation.
President Obama is responsible for that, and it was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place.
I think that's an important point when it comes to critiquing President Obama.
But again, when you look at and read the career rank and file assessments about this Russian interference narrative, they come to a completely different conclusion.
It's only until it gets to the Brennans and the Clappers and the Obama administration that it, you know, it totally changes its meaning completely to begin a phony investigation into Donald Trump.
And if you want to take it one step further, this grand conspiracy now, we're talking about these deep state operatives now working to impact not one, not two, but three presidential elections.
Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst, he's written two best-selling books on a lot of this.
Number one, New York Times bestsellers.
It's amazing what we're learning.
Everything that we reported at the time, everything you wrote in your books, ended up now being validated completely, although I believe it has been validated before.
I agree.
And, you know, as I wrote in my most recent column a couple of days ago after Tulsi Gabbard released the newly declassified documents, it is increasingly clear that Barack Obama, a departing president, connived to sabotage and destroy the man who would replace him.
You know, he knew from John Brennan in two White House meetings, July 28th and August 3rd, 2016, that Hillary Clinton had cooked up this hoax.
And they knew it was all phony.
They knew it was based on a bogus dossier.
And, you know, Brennan briefed the president, and Joe Biden was there.
Clapper was there.
Comey was there, the whole gang.
We even have Brennan's handwritten notes about it, how Hillary planned to vilify Trump by stirring up a scandal, claiming interference by Russian security service.
I think what people find so offensive, Sean, and they should, is that there was an opportunity that summer for Obama and Biden and the others to come clean, to tell the truth to the American people before the election, that this is all a hoax invented, contrived, conjured up by Hillary Clinton, and there's nothing to it.
They didn't do that.
They remained silent, and they watched idly as Comey, you know, then used the dossier and other documents to frame Donald Trump.
And by the way, he was warned by Bruce Orr, of all people not to use it.
And that was in August of 2016.
And he was warned that it was political in nature and it was paid for.
Comey had already discredited it.
And, of course, it didn't work.
Trump was elected in November.
And you can imagine the panic in the Obama White House, especially when on December 8th, there is this presidential daily briefing that says, sorry, you know, Russia and criminal actors did not unduly influence the 2016 election.
Well, that went against the preferred narrative that Trump colluded with Russia to win.
So what did Comey and Brennan and others do?
They scuttled that presidential daily briefing and they concocted an alternative plan.
And Biden himself ordered it.
I want a new intelligence community assessment.
And, you know, that was produced in record time to perpetuate the collusion fiction.
And included in that community assessment was the dossier, which Brennan under oath told Congress, no, that wasn't in the intelligence community assessment.
Well, it certainly was, and I knew it at the time.
Why?
Because I got a copy of it, and I saw it in there.
What do you make, if you fast forward to the end of the Obama administration, and they had this meeting, Obama was there, Biden was there, Comey was there, Susan Rice was there, and I believe Brennan, maybe Clapper as well.
And they had this meeting, and it was just a couple of weeks before Donald Trump became president the first time.
And then just minutes before Donald Trump is sworn into office, Susan Rice does this CYA memo to herself about on this date, we all had a meeting and Barack Obama said to, quote, do it by the book.
Comey said to do it by the book.
We all said we'd do it by the book.
If that's not a CYA memo, I don't know what is, but that to me is also a big smoking gun and it shows a great deal of fear that they had that they were about to get caught.
Yeah, she didn't even write it the day of the meeting.
She wrote it weeks later.
And the pivotal date was January 6th.
That's when this rush...
She wrote it just minutes before Donald Trump was sworn in.
Right, because she knew there was a problem here.
The documents would incriminate all of them.
So she wrote it up to CYA.
Cover your butt.
I cleaned that up for you.
But January 6th is when the ICA came out, the intelligence community assessment.
And what happened that day?
Well, James Comey, armed with that and the phony dossier that they'd already debunked.
By the way, not everything came out.
That's what makes this so revealing, this Tulsi Gabbard, you know, declassification.
So Comey goes to Trump Tower with the dossier and the ICA, and he confronts Trump with the ridiculous, salacious accusations in the dossier that the Bureau knew was untrue.
Comey was gambling here.
He thought, well, I can entrap Trump.
He'll make some sort of inconsistent statement or unwitting confession.
I'll use it against him.
Well, Trump didn't bite, and he denied the allegations, said they were preposterous because they were.
They were totally made up by Hillary Clinton.
Much of what was in the dossier was supplied by Hillary Clinton Confederates.
And so, you know, Comey, unsatisfied, you know, eventually begins to escalate the investigation.
He gets fired correctly.
And on his way out the door, he steals FBI documents and promptly leaks them to a friend in the media, he admits, for the sole purpose of triggering the special counsel, who just happens to be his longtime friend and colleague and mentor, Bob Mueller.
And of course, you know, all of this was leaked to the media.
They spent a year convicting Trump in the court of public opinion without a shred of credible evidence.
Mueller, in the end, said, sorry, no collusion conspiracy between Trump and Russia.
And the media just never apologized, no may cult, but they just moved on to their next fake Trump scandal that they largely invented.
Greg Jarrett, we're going to have a lot of conversations over the next weeks and months about this issue.
This is your good work now being fully, completely vindicated.
John Solomon, same thing.
Sarah Carter, same thing.
Catherine Herrod, same thing.
There weren't very many of us.
I will tell you that.
You were the hero of this, and you organized our ability to get this information out.
You know what?
I'm just glad we were a great team, all of us.
Appreciate it, Greg Jarrett, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Oh, man.
All right.
What a gaggle the president had.
He's with the president of the Philippines today.
He's a very nice person, seems like a nice person.
And in the Oval Office, and he just starts taking questions.
We don't even have time to run it all, but here's some of the president in this gaggle in the Oval earlier today.
Thank you very much, everybody.
It's a great honor to have President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The Philippines, a great family, great family legacy, and highly respected in this country.
I know that because you have many friends in the Philippines, and there's great respect, or I couldn't say it, so congratulations.
We're going to be talking about trade.
We're going to be talking about war and peace.
They're a very important nation militarily, and we've had some great drills lately.
We're back with them.
I think I can say that the last administration was not getting along with them too well.
They didn't get along with anybody.
They didn't know.
Honestly, they didn't know what they were doing.
But we have some fantastic military relationships with the Philippines, and that's been reinstituted.
And Pete, I would say that you couldn't be happier, right, with the relationship.
So I just want to say it's an honor to have you.
We're going to talk about trade today, and we're very close to finishing a trade deal, big trade deal, actually.
And we do a lot of business with you.
It's a lot of income coming in for both groups.
But I was surprised to see the kind of numbers.
They're very big, and they're going to get bigger under what we're doing and what we're proposing.
And I just want to thank you for being with us.
It's a great honor.
You and your representatives really a great, great honor.
We have a big announcement.
AstraZeneca, the big drug company, is going to spend $50 billion, just announced, $50 billion in the United States in order to build various places all over the country, big manufacturing plants, pharmaceutical plants all over the country.
So that's an honor.
And he said they did that because of the election and because of the fact that the tariffs are placed.
So they're building their facilities in New York.
50 billion.
That's a big investment.
And it's going to be a very good investment.
I have no doubt about it.
So thank you to AstraZeneca.
And with that, I'd like to have you say a few words, please.
Thank you very much, Mr. President.
Of course, we're all very happy to be here to once again reaffirm the very strong ties between the Philippines and the United States, the ties that go back over 100 years.
And considering the context in which we live these days, especially in my part of the world, this has become, this has evolved into as important a relationship as it's possible to have.
We must remember that the United States is our only treaty partner in the Philippines.
And that has stood us in good stead over the years, through certainly through the Second World War.
And the cultural memory of all Filipinos, down to even the school children, is that our strongest, closest, most reliable ally has always been the United States.
And that is something that we value, that we are grateful for, and that we will continue to foster as we go on.
With the leadership of President Trump, I am very confident that we will be able to achieve that.
I think it is worthwhile to remember that it was President Trump who, in his first term, characterized the relationship between the Philippines and the United States as Ironclad.
And that has been necessarily the case since that time that you made that statement, sir.
And it is something that the Philippines will always hold close to its heart.
Thank you once again.
And we are honored.
And it is our great pleasure to be here and to visit with the President of the United States.
Thank you so much.
My great honor.
Any questions for this?
Mr. President, do you support the Justice Department seeking a new interview with Delaney Maxwell and George, the Attorney General this evening?
I don't know anything about it.
They're going to, what, meet her?
They're going to, there's your Deputy Attorney General has reached out to Delaney Maxwell's attorney asking for a new interview for him.
Yeah, I don't know about it, but I think it's something that would be, sounds appropriate to do.
Do you have any concern that your Deputy Attorney General was your former attorney who would be conducting the interview, given no, I have no concern.
He's a very talented person.
He's very smart.
I didn't know that they were going to do it.
I don't really follow that too much.
It's sort of a witch hunt, just a continuation of the witch hunt.
The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold, Tulsi Gabbard.
What they did to this country in 2016, starting in 2016, but going up all the way up to 2020 of the election.
They tried to rig the election, and they got caught.
And there should be very severe consequences for that.
You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, you know what?
Let's not go too far here.
It's the ex-wife of a president, and I thought it was sort of terrible.
And I let her off the hook, and I'm very happy I did.
But it's time to start after what they did to me.
And whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people.
Obama's been caught directly.
So people say, oh, you know, a group.
It's not a group.
It's Obama.
His orders are on the paper.
The papers are signed.
The papers came right out of their office.
They sent everything to be highly classified.
Well, the highly classified has been released.
And what they did in 2016 and in 2020 is very criminal.
It's criminal at the highest level.
So that's really the things you should be talking about.
I know nothing about the other, but I think it's appropriate that they do go.
I asked you about that, Mr. President.
Tulsi Gabbard has submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice.
From your perspective, who should the DOJ target as part of their investigation?
What specific figures in the Obama administration?
Well, based on what I read, and I read pretty much what you read, it would be President Obama.
He started it.
And Biden was there with him.
And Comey was there.
And Clapper, the whole group was there.
Brennan, they were all there in a room.
Right here.
This was the room.
This is much more beautiful than it was then, but that's okay.
I have nice pictures up.
They came out of the vaults.
They were in there for 100 years.
This is much more beautiful.
We have the Declaration of Independence now in the room, which wasn't here.
I guess people didn't feel too good about putting it here, but I do.
But you know what?
If you look at those papers, they have them stone cold, and it was President Obama.
It wasn't lots of people all over the place.
It was them too.
But the leader of the gang was President Obama, Barack Hussein Obama.
Have you heard of him?
And except for the fact that he gets shielded by the press for his entire life, that's the one they look, he's guilty.
It's not a question, you know, I like to say, let's give it time.
It's there.
He's guilty.
This was treason.
This was every word you can think of.
They tried to steal the election.
They tried to obfuscate the election.
They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries.
You've seen some pretty rough countries.
This man has seen some pretty rough countries, but you've never seen anything like that.
And we have all of the documents.
And from what Tulsi told me, she's got thousands of additional documents coming.
President Obama, it was his concept, his idea, but he also got it from crooked Hillary Clinton.
Crooked is a $3 bill.
Hillary Clinton and her group, the Democrats, spent $12 million to Christopher Steele to write up a report that was a total fake report.
Took two years to figure that out, but it came out that it was a total fake report.
It was made-up fiction.
And they used that.
The one thing they weren't able to do was to get, and probably the only thing I respect about the press in years is the press refused to write it before the election.
They refused to put it in.
The Steele report was a disaster.
All lies, all fabrication, all admitted, an admitted fraud.
She paid $12 million and the Democrats for that report to a wise guy named Christopher Steele.
He wrote a phony report, and they wanted to get that report in before the election.
And I'll tell you what, I talk about all the time the fake news, how bad it is, but in this case, they wouldn't do it.
They saw it, they read it, and they said, we don't believe it.
And it was only after substantially, like a month and a half after the election, that it got printed.
And it was a big wisp.
It was just like a bang of nothing because the election had ended.
If that report had gotten published by the New York Times or somebody, and I respect the Times for maybe only this, because they're crooked as you can be.
They're a terrible paper, a crooked, corrupt paper.
But just so you know, they didn't take the Steele report.
It was the dossier.
Remember the famous dossier?
I call it the fake news dossier.
The news wouldn't publish it.
And I'm amazed.
They had two and a half months.
It was finished.
Two and a half months.
That was supposed to be what was going to happen.
And it got published a couple of months after the election.
And frankly, nobody cared too much about it.
But that was a big thing.
No, no, we caught Hillary Clinton.
We caught Barack Hussein Obama.
They're the ones.
And then you have many, many people under them.
Susan Rice, they're all there.
The names are all there.
And I guess they figured they're going to put this in classified information and nobody will ever see it again.
But it doesn't work that way.
And it's the most unbelievable thing I think I've ever read.
So you ought to take a look at that and stop talking about nonsense because this is big stuff.
Never has a thing like this happened in the history of our country.
And by the way, it morphed into the 2020 race.
And the 2020 race was rigged.
And it was a rigged election.
And because it was rigged, we have millions of people in our country.
We had inflation.
We solved the inflation problem.
But millions and millions of people came into our country because of that.
And people that shouldn't have been, people from gangs and from jails and from mental institutions, people that we don't want in our country, and people that were getting out.
Dangerous people.
11,888 murderers.
Many of them, 50%, more than 50%, murdered more than one person.
I hate to say this with such a distinguished guest, but, you know, they asked me a question.
I've got to answer the question.
No, Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader.
Hillary Clinton was right there with him, and so was Sleepy Joe Biden.
And so were the rest of them.
Comey, Clapper, the whole group.
And they tried to rig an election, and they got caught.
And then they did rig the election in 2020.
And then because I knew I won that election by a lot, I did it a third time, and I won in a landslide.
Every swing state won the popular vote.
But I won that all the same way in 2020.
And look at the damage that was caused.
How crucial is it?
How crucial is the ammunitions hub that the U.S. plans to build in Subic and the Nazon corridor, considering that these will be built in areas that hosts strategic ports as well as military air bases?
We took an ammunition.
Yes, the U.S. House Congressional Committee on Appropriations approved a budget for the United States.
Well, it's very important.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have approved it.
Yeah, it's very important.
Otherwise, we wouldn't.
We need ammunition.
We're going to end up in a few months.
We'll have more ammunition than any country has ever had.
We're going to have more missiles than any country has ever had.
We're going to have all the speedy missiles.
We'll have the speedy ones, the slow ones, the accurate ones, the ones that are slightly less accurate.
We have everything.
But we will have more ammunition than any country has ever had.
It's very important to me.
Go ahead, please, Red.
Sir, when you say that you're close to making a trade deal, what gaps remain?
And for President Marquis, sir, I was just wondering, do you not think that perhaps the Philippines hosting U.S. missile systems could be considered escalatoring by China, especially because they can strike fingers in the China?
Thank you.
Well, it's an honor to be with this gentleman.
Quick break, right back.
We'll continue on the other side.
Then your calls are coming up straight ahead.
Coast to coast, border to border.
