Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
They want to show that they are loyal to this, you know, I don't even know what to call him.
I've called him so many things, but this wannabe Hitler for sure.
They have been ordered by Donald Trump, who is their political puppet master, to try to do everything possible to avoid a free and fair election.
Tradem is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Where we are coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a country song.
Sean Hennedy, the new Sean Hennity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Toll free on numbers 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we started the show with a comprehensive analysis of what Tulsi Gabbard has uncovered and declassified in terms of the DNI.
And it's getting very, very, very bad for those deep state actors, the very people that we talked about.
And we talk about the intelligence coming out early on, as early, even in December of 2016, after the election, career professionals, that is rank and file within the intelligence community had an assessment by then, long well over a month after the election, that no, Russia did not try to help Donald Trump and secure the election for Hillary Clinton.
I just went through this in chapter and verse.
I won't repeat myself that that didn't happen.
And then, of course, you have this meeting with Joe Biden, Obama, and Clapper and Comey and Susan Rice.
And I'm not sure who else might have been in there.
Just a couple of weeks before Obama leaves office and Donald Trump takes office.
And they decide they want a new intelligence community assessment.
And that assessment, based on the same information, except they did include the dirty Russian disinformation dossier, which by that time had been completely debunked.
Remember, they had gotten rid of Christopher Steele in December of 2016.
And he was out as a result of this.
And they still used it for FISA applications.
And then they used this for the intelligence community reassessment, if you will.
And this is what John Solomon's been calling the polluted assessment.
In other words, they polluted the real intelligence.
They corrupted it to fit a narrative that wasn't true and didn't exist.
And then they got their friends and their complicit media to run with this story and run with it.
They did.
And they peddled lies and conspiracy theories to the entire country.
And then you have people like the congenital liar Adam Schiff and others just flat out lying in spite of all the evidence to the contrary about all of it.
And, you know, the danger here is, and this is why I think this grand conspiracy investigation of Cash Fatelle is going to be very, very critical.
Because if they get away with this, then you got to look at what the issues that came up in 2020.
And I don't want to repeat myself, but I'll go into a little detail.
And that is in March of 2020, we know for a fact that the FBI had literally validated the authenticity.
They confirmed the authenticity of the very real Hunter Biden laptop.
Then they embarked on a journey for the summer of 2020 to meet with all the leaders of every big tech company once a week, warning these tech companies that they may be victims of a Russian disinformation campaign.
And anyway, they did it.
Why?
They were pre-bunking what they knew would be made public.
I keep telling everybody, Bob Costello had a copy of the laptop from hell, Hunter's laptop.
He was at the time Rudy Giuliani's attorney.
They knew this thing would drop.
They just didn't know when it would drop.
So they were trying to get ahead of it.
Lo and behold, even though they confirmed the authenticity of the laptop in March of 2020, when the New York Post drops the story and it's now public, you have some big tech companies reaching out to the FBI asking, is this what you were warning us about?
And the answer came back, they wouldn't confirm what they knew to be true.
And that resulted in the suppression of the story all over social media.
And that helped.
That obviously has taken a cinder block, cement block, putting it on the scale of an election to help Joe Biden against Donald Trump in what turned out to be an extraordinarily close election.
I mean, I think three states alone, 44,000 votes, and we have a different result for crying out loud.
And that's the danger of that type of power.
That is tipping the scales of an election.
Deep state actors, you know, putting cinder blocks on the scale of an election.
And it went even deeper than that.
And then I would argue from 2020 to 2024, all of the lawfare and the weaponization against Donald Trump, the Alvin Bragg novel legal theory, the false valuation of Mar-a-Lago, mugshots and fingerprinting of Donald Trump.
Statute of limitations had run out on what was a legal non-disclosure agreement in New York.
It was a misdemeanor on top of everything else.
How that evolved into a 34-count felony count indictment is beyond anyone's comprehension.
And then, of course, an unfriendly venue or the phony evaluation of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million when the property is worth well over a billion.
Now, Aaron Wright is an assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Policy in the Department of Justice, currently running for Texas State Attorney General, giving us his thoughts on these new developments and Pam Bondi's announcement last night and resulting from the investigation at the Department of National Intelligence under Tulsi Gabbard.
Sir, welcome to the program.
How are you?
I'm doing great, Sean.
Under the circumstances, shocked and appalled at everything you've just laid out, just like many of your listeners are.
What does it mean what Pam Bondi announced last night?
Why is that, you know, why is that so imperative based on the declassified information released by Tulsi?
Yeah, so look, the Justice Department is going to go through a few stages before any criminal charges can possibly get brought.
Number one is what we're all reading about now is the creation of this strike force to discern whether or not there is a basis to open up a criminal investigation.
So step one is to discern whether we can open up a criminal investigation.
That's the purpose of the strike force.
Step two is going to be to formally open up a criminal investigation to determine whether there's any credible evidence that any number of various federal laws have been violated.
And then number three, if the criminal investigation reveals that there are facts and law leading to the ability to bring in an indictment, then step three will be indictments will be brought against any particular targets, whether that's President Barack Hussein Obama or Clapper or that whole crew.
You've listed all the names.
And so that's how this is going to unfold in the coming days and weeks.
But I will tell you, as somebody who served as the presidentially appointed Senate-confirmed head of the Office of Legal Policy under Bondi and under Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, I'm very, very, very confident that they're taking this with deadly seriousness that it deserves.
What about you can factor into this not only the strike force, but the grand conspiracy investigation that we learned just a couple of weeks ago that was opened weeks before that by the FBI director Cash Patel, because that would be a very broad net in terms of going back almost from the time that Donald Trump came down the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015 all the way through Jack Smith.
And that would entail whether or not there is a systemic effort by deep state operatives, and in this case, altering what career and professional rank and file intelligence officials concluded that was then polluted and corrupted.
I would argue for political purposes.
That's my read on it.
That's my interpretation of it.
But all the way through Jack Smith, which means, you know, are they putting cinder blocks on the scales of presidential elections?
Did they do it in 2016?
Did they do it when 51 former Intel officials that know nothing about Hunter's laptop, you know, race out to tell the world that has all the markings of Russian interference when in reality none of them even examine the laptop or the weaponization of the DOJ from 2020 to 2024?
I believe that was designed just to destroy Trump so he could never even think about running.
Are we looking at three presidential elections in a row?
Yes, I think that that's right.
And look, national figures like you, Sean, have been exposing this grand conspiracy for years and years.
And the left-wing media and their cronies in government have been telling people like you and me and your listeners, and they've been gaslighting us, telling us that it's all fake, there's nothing to see here.
And yet, one day after another, every passing week, every passing month, there are more and more documents that are getting declassified and revealed.
And it turns out everything that you and I have been saying for the past now nearly a decade has come to be true.
We now go all the way back to the 2016 presidential election.
We knew, you're exactly right.
And we've talked a lot about the years between 2020 and 2024 to destroy President Trump, the attempts to destroy him before he could even run for president.
That failed, obviously.
But when you go back to 2016, the deep state, the left-wing media and the liberals in power were so furious that Donald Trump had upset their plans to maintain power that they, in the most corrupt, treasonous manner possible, put the cinder blocks, as you said, the cinder blocks on the scales of justice and on the scales of a presidential election for the express purpose of screwing President Donald J. Trump.
And they thought that their plan was going to work.
They thought that their scheme was going to work.
It hasn't worked.
And now we are vindicated.
I expect that justice is going to be done now.
I think that it's so obvious to the American people and to law enforcement what was happening here to try to undermine the president of the United States using this grand conspiracy that I expect that justice will be done.
Quick break, right back more with Aaron Wrights.
He's the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy at the DOJ.
He's also currently running for Texas State Attorney General.
More with him on the other side than your calls or comments.
Straight ahead.
We'd love to hear from you.
800-941-Sean is our number.
We continue now.
Aaron Wrights is with us, Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy at the DOJ, currently running for Texas State Attorney General.
You know, we have so much evidence now that they're gathering, as Tulsi Gabbard puts out, new evidence now emerging of the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history.
And per President Trump's direction, I have declassified a House Intel Oversight Majority staff report that exposes how the Obama administration manufactured the January 2017 intelligence community assessment that they knew was false, promoting the big lie that Vladimir Putin and Russia helped Donald Trump in 2016.
I played last night.
I played earlier in this program today.
Everybody in the media, every Democrat was singing from the same hymnal.
With a few exceptions like myself and yourself, you know, there weren't many alternative voices out here.
Totally right.
And here's the other thing that I think really just takes my and other Americans' breath away.
We've always known about the existence of a nefarious deep state that has attempted, sometimes successfully, sometimes not, to thwart the presidents and the conservative and the Republican agenda.
What's shocking about these latest revelations is that the deep state was actually operating under the directives of not just any senior executives of the Obama administration, but Obama himself got the initial reporting about the lack of Russian interference or preference for Donald Trump in December of 2016.
He didn't like what the reports said, and he said, go back and do it again.
And oh, by the way.
Well, let me ask you a question, because we have everyone just assumes that he'll be covered by presidential immunity.
Can you explain to me how him doing this is part of his official acts?
You can't commit crimes in your official capacity.
And so if you commit a crime, in this case, what's being, you know, it's not formally being alleged, but treason is being thrown out there.
And it's potential that he could be indicted for treason.
But you can't commit treason in an official capacity.
You can't commit, to use another easy example, you can't commit murder in your official capacity and say that's okay.
And so while we did get a good ruling out of the Supreme Court on the questions of the scope of presidential immunity, the scope of presidential immunity is not unlimited, and it doesn't extend to a president who may have committed treason.
It doesn't extend to an FBI director or a CIA director or a director of national intelligence.
It doesn't extend to cabinet members who actively are engaged in undermining a follow-on administration to thwart the transit, the lawful transition of power from one president to the next.
And so anybody saying that, oh, presidential immunity, he was just doing his job, that's not good enough.
Now, look, if the facts and the law are there to establish a credible case for treatment or other high crimes and misdemeanors, then it's entirely, then those things will be outside of the scope of presidential immunity.
So anybody trying to say, oh, don't worry, I think that's just a cope.
It's not true.
And at the end of the day, if the DOJ strike force ultimately results in opening up a criminal investigation, which then evolves or ripens into bringing in an indictment for treason or other crimes, presidential immunities may be a defense that Obama and others raise, but it will be a defense that fails.
Appreciate your time, and we're going to watch this very, very closely.
And I think there's a reckoning coming.
Andrew Wrights, Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy at the Department of Justice, currently now running for Texas State Attorney General.
We're going to watch that race also very closely as well.
We appreciate your time, sir.

A lot of people say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's probably great advice for most things, but not for your cell phone.
You know what happens over time?
The battery life will fade.
The processor can't keep up.

Hulk Hogan passed away today.
Apparently, I guess he had a heart attack.
He's the official cause of death.
I got to know this guy over the years, interviewed him many, many times, and he was such a fun guy to be around, just full of life, energy, natural born entertainer, and loved every minute of his life.
And he also had a pretty thoughtful side, too, when you would talk to him one-on-one.
Here is when I spoke to him.
I'll play a little bit of this, and then we'll get to your calls coming up.
By the way, if you want to join us, 800-941 Sean, this was after the RNC and even at the RNC.
Remember, he just rips off his shirt just in Hulkamania fashion.
He will be missed.
He entertained many, made a lot of people smile, led an incredible life.
Only 71 years old.
Listen.
When we do not put America first, like it's been happening for years and years and years, if we had that type of money, every American should be a millionaire.
With the billions and billions of dollars they've given away, it just kills me to see our vets on the street, to see the vets not being taken care of.
I've been with the WME, brothers, since 1977.
And one of the things we do is we visit the hospitals.
We do the USO tours.
We go all over the place.
These vets put their lives on the line for us so we can be free.
And we don't take care of them.
Donald Trump is putting his life on the line to try to make America great again.
If someone like me is going to remain silent, it doesn't happen, brother.
It can't go this way anymore.
I want all the people that were in the same position I was, the ones that were afraid to put a Trump sign in their yard, the ones who were afraid to wear a Trump shirt or a Trump hat, just not be silent anymore.
We need to save this country, not for ourselves, but for our children and our children's children for generations to come.
This country needs to be saved.
I'll never forget the appearance that he made in one of the Rocky movies.
That was pretty spectacular.
And he was just a nice person if you met him.
And I'm sure you would like him.
I want to play this clip of a Burger King employee, mother of three, and she tells the story about being forced to work a 12-hour shift alone.
Never good, by the way, to be in a store by yourself, in my view, after nobody showed up for work.
Listen to this story.
It's out of Columbia, South Carolina.
Hey, just tell me your first and last name.
Nadia Hamilton.
Spell it for me.
N-Y-K-I-A-H-A-M-I-L-T-O-N.
And you say you've been working here for about three months now.
Kind of tell me about that night when the video went viral.
I mean, you were just working.
Yeah, because one of my employees just quit on me and they had nobody else to come in.
So I had to work by myself and close by myself, had to do the dishes, the crowd on the floor, trying to find those drive-throughs.
Don't ain't no sitting out drive-through and then people come in because it's too much to try to run and take orders.
They got to run back.
So it was a lot.
Then last night I closed again by myself the last night.
I finally got helped today.
And she's been here since 11 o'clock.
She's about to close with us at 11.
So we just ain't got no employees.
Nobody want to work no more.
Okay, so you have three children.
and you work two jobs, kind of just tell people more about yourself and why you, cause some people exposed me, it was like, I wanna just close the store and live.
Like, what made you want to stay?
Because, shout out to my general manager Rhonda.
If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have had no job because I do have a record.
And it's hard to find a job with her.
And by the grace of God, she gave me a job.
So that's the only reason why I stayed for her because if I know it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have a job.
I mean, so these other employees, they don't show up.
He has to do a 12-hour shift alone in a Burger King.
And she does everything, including mop the floors, but she's cooking the burgers.
She's preparing the french fries.
She's working the cash register.
She's doing the drive-thru.
She's doing it all.
And then I heard her commentary, and I'm like, man, then she's like, and through the grace of God, I have this job.
I mean, I don't think most people approach their work with that kind of can-do, you know, never quit spirit of really wanting to get things done.
And I think we could all learn something from her.
I thought it was a pretty incredible story.
All right, to our busy phones, we go.
Steen is in New York.
What's up, Steen?
How you doing?
Good to talk to you.
I love that accent.
Thank you for taking my call, Sean.
How's it going on?
Share a little, I just wanted to share a little something with you.
As you were talking about the election, as it was coming up, you were very adamant about voting early.
And I'll tell you, I own two small businesses, and it was very difficult for me to find the time to stand on a line.
So I figured since my polling station is across the street from my house, that I was just going to vote that day.
Unfortunately, October 29th, I was rushed to the hospital and I was put into an induced coma.
First of all, I'm sorry you got sick.
Obviously, you're okay.
What happened?
I actually got pancreatitis and it affected all my organs, which they had to put me into a coma.
But when I woke up later and towards the end of November, my wife leaned over and said, don't worry, Trump won, which I was very excited to hear that.
Well, New York, your state, I mean, to be very blunt, was not on my list of states that we needed to win.
I just assumed New York was going to go blue because a lot of people like myself just, you know, said enough with New York.
They're just too far gone to ever bring it back.
And I think I'm being proven right every day with the rise of Zoron Mamdani.
I'm glad you're okay.
But you know, I took a lot of heat from people over the issue.
I did it for three years on this program.
I was unrelenting for people to vote early and vote by mail.
And the reason I did it is, and the reason I made it a campaign almost, is because I knew how imperative it's not the system I want.
It's not the system I like.
I hope Republicans actually make changes to the system.
And that means voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls.
We need partisan observers watching the vote in every precinct all day, the vote counting all night.
I'd prefer a switch to paper ballots.
All right, we'll save that discussion for another day.
But if you go back to 2020, I went on with Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer the morning of election day on November 5th.
And I said at 9 a.m. in the morning, I said, Democrats have, Kamala has a math problem.
She was down about 750,000 early votes in Pennsylvania than where Joe Biden was only four years earlier.
She was down 45% in Wisconsin and Georgia and in North Carolina.
She was down in Michigan.
And the same with Arizona and the same with Nevada.
And I kept all day, even when I was doing this radio show on election day, I kept reaching out to contacts in every one of the important swing states that mattered and asking them what the turnout was in these predominantly Democratic areas.
And like, for example, in the suburbs of Philly, that would be one area, Allegheny County, another area.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin would be another area.
I kept reaching out.
What about Atlanta and Fulton County and DeKalb County and all these prominently Democratic areas?
And I knew that it was game over because all day long, she would have needed historic day of turnout for her to come back from that deficit and win, especially because Republicans that do vote day of, those numbers were remaining consistent.
I was checking those numbers all day too.
So, you know, fast forward 12 and a half hours later, about 9.30 at night, I was on the Fox News channel with a huge panel.
Linda, you remember this moment.
And I was with all my colleagues and I said, well, maybe I'm getting over my skis a little bit here, but let me tell you how this night is going to unfold.
Remember that moment?
I said, we're going to announce pretty soon that North Carolina and Georgia elected Donald Trump.
And we're going to, there's no way he's going to lose Arizona, and he's likely going to win Nevada.
And I said at 9.35 at night, I said, and for Kamala to win, she's going to have to sweep the blue wall at this point.
That meant Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Let me tell you why it's not going to happen.
And I went on to explain what I just explained to you, which is that the early voting numbers were so dramatically different.
And she did not get the historic day of turnout that she would have needed to make up that deficit.
And then I left the set, returned to my free state of Florida, and apparently they referred to it all night.
I remember there was like shock and awe.
It was sort of like in E.F. Hutton commercial where everyone just, you could hear a pin drop.
I said, look, if I'm wrong, just print up Hannity was wrong t-shirts and I'll live with my mistake.
But I knew I was right.
And it was funny because Kamala Harris's campaign was watching that moment around 9:30 election night.
They called Harold Ford Jr., who was on the panel with us.
There's like 12 people.
And they said, what Hannity's saying is not true.
And I'm like, it's 100% true.
And Mark Halperin was probably the only other person that I knew that was as obsessed as I was over daily, early voting numbers.
Now, I'm going to confess to this audience that I did something I normally don't do.
And that is I did not share this information with my audience on a daily basis because I did not want anybody to get complacent.
I didn't.
There were very few people that I shared this information with.
I just kept it to myself because I don't want, I knew and I wanted people to believe because I thought it could be true and it was not a manipulation in any way that you have to assume in an important election that your vote is going to be the deciding vote.
And all of that went down just as I called it.
Linda, you remember that day well?
I know you do.
Yeah.
I mean, you were out there in front of everything.
I know my phone was blowing up saying, what does Sean know?
What does Sean know?
I'm like, well, listen to him.
He's telling you.
You know, I mean, there was a lot of questions about what was happening next.
And I think we all knew that the alternate idea of who could potentially become president, i.e., Kamala Harris, who couldn't put a sentence together, was just so scary.
I mean, it was like he had to win.
Well, I also remember at one point you were getting on me a little bit about pushing the early voting, early voting.
And I kept saying to you, Linda, it's not the system I want.
I'm not advocating for this system, but it is the system we're stuck with in this election.
And I hope it gets changed.
I'm like a broken record saying what I think needs to be done.
I think you'll fully agree with all the changes that I would want.
Yeah, absolutely.
But I knew we had to play the game based on the rules that were real, not ones that we wished were in place.
Well, I hope they codify some good election integrity laws now that we have the ball back.
I hope so.
By the way, did you, you know, and you remember how much heat I got at the time?
People thought I was selling out.
Oh, you're sorry.
I was not selling out.
I was just, I was facing reality.
You know, there is sometimes you got to face hard truths in life, and then you got to, you know, deal with the hand you dealt, not the hand you wish you would dealt.
That it's not the hand I would have preferred.
And I kept saying that to people.
I'm not sure why people were mad at me for, oh, you're telling people to do something that we should not buy into and accept.
I'm like, okay, if you don't accept it, then the odds of you losing are infinitely higher because a guy like our last caller gets sick and he planned to vote day of and he wished he voted, he wished he voted early.
I'm telling you, you got to vote early.
And right now, unless and until, and I'll push for it, the system changes, that's just the way it's got to be.
By the way, get ready for the coming MAGA battle the day after the midterms.
Mark my words, Linda McLaughlin.
I'm sorry.
Did you mean Madam Vice President?
I'm not letting go of that, by the way.
So you still want me to run for president.
That's what you're telling me.
So long as I get to be VP, I'm all in.
No, you started as chief of staff.
Now you're giving yourself a promotion.
You know, because I realized I needed to have higher goals.
And so I was like, you know what?
Let me go.
By the way, it's a stretch for me to even think of you as the White House press secretary because I think you'd go scorched earth on day one.
If anything, I think you would break the record in terms of having to leave that Anthony Scaramucci set.
Nah, I would do great.
He was gone in 11 days.
All right.
How are you going to get through one White House press briefing without dropping an F-bomb?
Tell me how you're going to pull that off.
Easy.
I'll just do my Mary Poppins.
And there's plenty of words that fit in where the F-word works.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
