More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup and information overload our toll free.
It is 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program now, I promise that it while it might be a little complicated when we talk about Cash Vitel and Dan Bongino and the FBI and this grand conspiracy, what it will entail.
Let me lay it out in the simplest terms.
It will include everything that the Democrats have been involved in terms of everything from the Russia hoax and this new information put forward by the DNI uh director, Tulsi Gabbard, who has now contacted the DOJ with criminal referrals on these bombshell claims.
The Obama administration completely manufactured it, but it's deeper than that.
The double standard when it comes to our justice system.
And, you know, for example, top secret classified information on Hillary Clinton's servers.
Uh more top secret classified information than was ever found at Mar-a-Lago.
Uh and the same with Joe Biden.
He had top secret classified informations in four separate locations.
Why didn't why didn't their homes or offices get raided?
Why did Mar-a-Lago get raided?
It will include FISA abuse, the use of what they were warned about was a Russian dis Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier that was used to spy on Carter Page, who was a known asset for our intelligence community.
Uh somebody that cooperated uh with them, and they somebody that they trusted.
And it just gets, you know, you want to talk about a conspiracy or a grand conspiracy, it is emerging before our eyes.
Uh this will also include the weaponization of the Justice Department.
It'll include a deep dive into the 51 former Intel officials that without ever seeing Hunter Biden's very real laptop.
Uh they they signed on to a belief that it has all the earmarkings of uh Russia interference.
This this they tried to use in two consecutive elections.
It will include all of that and more.
What did they know?
When did they know it?
It will include the weaponization, maybe coordination.
We'll see over time with the Department of Justice of Joe of Joe Biden and and people like New York uh attorney general, Letisha James, Alvin Bragg.
I mean, in that case, I mean, you had the statute of limitations, you had a legal non-disclosure agreement.
I'm sure they have them inside the DA's office in New York.
Probably most, if not every company, major company in America, uh, has them.
It's very common.
It's unfortunate, but it's very common.
And it occurred it's a daily occurrence, but it was a legal NDA put together by an attorney, labeled the legal expense and paid for as a legal expense, and the statute of limitations run out ran out, and it was a misdemeanor.
Then they came up with a novel legal theory.
And then the third highest ranking Biden Justice Department official actually left and went to New York to assist Alvin Bragg in the prosecution of that case.
I mean, it is going to be everything all the way from the Russia hoax through and including the raid at Mar-a-Lago and everything in between.
In other words, was there a grand conspiracy by what we refer to as the deep state to undermine our election system in this country?
And it's uh it's gonna be fascinating to watch, and these new developments are should be very alarming to every American.
Now, we have the America First Legal.
You might remember Stephen Miller was the head of it.
We have a new president, Gene Hamilton will join us in a second.
And they have obtained internal Department of Justice documents confirming that the Biden White House orchestrated the Garland memo, it's fairly infamous, that labeled concern parents as potential domestic terrorists.
This contradicts repeated claims that the DOJ acted independently.
Uh anyway, here to tell us what they discovered is Gene Hamilton, president of American First Legal.
Sir, how are you?
Sean, thanks for having me on.
All right, tell us what we have here.
Sean, what we have here is what uh we at America First Legal have posited, we thought was the case since 2021.
Uh everyone will remember, as you rightly pointed out, that Merritt Garland issued a memo that weaponized not just the Department of Justice, but its entire law enforcement apparatus.
The FBI, the National Security Division, the Criminal Division, everyone in between, to target parents who were speaking out at school boards.
Now, at the time, they said that this was in response to an epidemic of violence at school board meetings.
Somehow, some way, you and I and every other concerned parent across the country must have missed this epidemic of violence at school board meetings.
But as things came out over time, and uh uh conservatives on the Hill and elsewhere started to criticize them and point things out.
It was always alleged, oh no, no, no, this was not pushed out of the White House.
This was a law enforcement response.
This was something that we were doing as a legitimate exercise of the Department of Justice's duties.
But what we found through our lawsuit was definitive proof that no, in fact, in fact, the Biden White House directed this action to be done.
This is part of a conspiracy with the National School Board Association.
This was part of an endeavor to deprive American parents of two constitutional fundamental rights.
That is the right to direct the upbringing of their children, and secondly, the right to free speech in this country.
Also the right to petition the government, also encompassed within the first within the First Amendment.
So we have a we have exposed these documents that show weaponization of the Department of Justice at an unprecedented level that, of course, as you rightly pointed out, is sadly consistent, sadly consistent with all of their other actions over the past decade or so, from the Obama administration to the Biden administration, everywhere in between.
All right.
Let me let me explain to people.
There are a lot of things that happened in the Biden years beyond the weaponization of Donald Trump and using the department to go after Donald Trump and apparently using three-letter agencies to go after Donald Trump.
It's a lot deeper than that.
And yes, they they went after peaceful pro-life protesters.
Yes, uh, parents that were expressing their views, uh, especially when it came to teaching of uh human sexuality to young people.
A lot of angry parents did not like that the LGBTQ plus uh agenda was being forced on their kids.
They happen to be of the belief that value should be instilled by parents, not by by teachers that have a captive audience of children that they want to indoctrinate and the trans agenda.
I mean, you can look at Minnesota, for example, Tim Wall state.
I mean, they offered gender affirming care without parental consent, or the the idea of putting in grade school and boys' bathrooms, the you know, Tampon Tim, he got the name for wanting to put feminine hygiene products in boys' bathrooms.
So a lot of parents would be outraged, and they're like, our kids can't read, write, do math, science, they don't know history uh or computers or the things, the skills that they'll need to compete in a global marketplace, but yet this is where you're focusing your attention, uh, leave the values to us, and let's move on.
But they had no intention of ever doing that.
That's absolutely right, Sean.
And look, the the thing about this, whether it's the weaponization against parents, whether it's the weaponization against Donald Trump, um, in everything, again, in between.
This is the way that the left, that the Marxist radicals that are contr in control of today's Democratic Party, this is the way that they think that they're going to overthrow this country.
This is the way that they are going to change our constitutional republic to be something that is reflective of what they want.
They want socialism.
They want to be able to tell your kids to tell you how to raise your children.
They want to tell you what you have to believe.
And if you get in their way, what they have proven time and again is that they will turn the government, the levers of government, against you for not going along with their radical ideology.
These documents, again, show these this is not some small thing.
This is not some small issue.
The Department of Justice really only has so many hours in the day to do things, like go after transnational organizations, cartels, uh, violent predators, drug smugglers, all of these other issues.
And yet the attorney general of the United States found that it was the highest and best use of those of that department's resources to go after parents, to chill their speech, to chill the exercise of their fundamental rights.
That has to shock and scare everyone.
And we have to hold people accountable.
It can never happen again.
It's one thing to expose it, and we're incredibly proud of our team at America for Sleal for doing so.
But we have to hold people accountable for what they did.
So the Biden White House directly orchestrated this the garland memo, you know, label concern parents as potential domestic terrorists.
For example, you now have internal emails showing White House officials were in fact and requested that the DOJ get involved.
You do in fact have evidence that the DOJ attorneys raised red flags saying that there was no federal hook uh and that targeting parents likely, you know, was necessary uh despite the warnings political appointees bypassed the standard review.
How bad did this get?
I mean, it is as bad as you can possibly imagine.
And it's especially ironic because one of the things that you just pointed out, Sean, is that they committed what many liberals would consider a cardinal sin, which was they didn't listen to the careers in the department.
You know, you often hear this refrain from the liberal talking heads that uh political leadership in the you know, the Trump administration wasn't listening to the careers, all these other things.
Well, here you have a case where the Biden administration's Department of Justice was consulting with the civil rights division within DOJ.
And even the careers, the notoriously liberal careers within the Department of Justice were pushing back, saying there is no federal nexus here, meaning there is no federal law that's being violated.
There's nothing here for us to look at.
This is all First Amendment protected activity, but they still persisted.
They still persisted with issuing this memo and chasing down this entire work stream because they knew, recall at the time, this was in the fall of 2021.
What else was going on in the fall of 2021?
The elections or the governor of Virginia.
What was going on in Virginia kind of culturally, politically?
That these school board meetings, a lot of people were irritated.
Yes, Loudoun County uh Virginia.
So they were threatened.
They were not going to obtain the political power that they thought that they would get as a movement.
And so this was their way of trying to tip the scales of that race in their candidates' favor, and they failed.
All right, we're going to watch this lawsuit closely.
We really appreciate your time.
Jimmy Ha Gene Hamilton, new president of American First Legal.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks, Sean.
800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we'll get to your calls.
Some of the other news of the day coming up next.
Listen, you've got to be prepared for the worst case scenario.
That is somebody that wants to bring immediate harm and maybe death to you and your family, you and your employees.
Now be prepared.
Stay safe in your home, in your office, in your business, and that's where Sig Sauer comes in.
They are the world's leading manufacturer of firearms, optics, ammunition, suppressors.
Now Sig Sauer is the military-issued firearm of choice.
Sig Sauer is now celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary with a very special offer on their M17 M18 Pistols.
Now the Sig Sauer M17 M18 Pistols.
They are the official sidearm of the U.S. Army.
Sig Sauer, S-I-G-S-A-U-E-R.com slash Hannity today.
Hannity Watch.
Keep an eye on breaking news and bringing it to you first.
Sean Hannity.
Sean Hannity.
All right, let's go to our busy phones.
Roberto is in Miami in my free state of Florida.
Roberto, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Good afternoon, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
I'm an American person that was born in Cuba.
I arrived here in 1959.
You have a somebody running for the mayor of New York is a communist socialist, promising grocery stores.
I like to know where is he going to get these stores out?
Who's going to pay for them?
And the reason this the grocery is so high in New York, because all the regulations that are put up on all these small owner operators.
So where's he gonna get the money to pay the salaries, the warehouses, and all these flows?
Where does that come from?
Look at Cuba.
Listen.
There's nothing that he's proposing that is going to improve the life of people in New York City.
Not and the most amazing aspect of this story is that Chuck Schumer and you know, top Democrats and Kathy Holkel and the rest of them, they they won't condemn this guy.
They are afraid of this guy.
Just like they're afraid of the squad and they're afraid of AOC, and they're afraid of Grandpa Bernie and Pocahontas, and the radicals now rule their party.
That is that is now where we they are as a party.
And for all the intramural squabbling, Republicans may have at times, it is nothing compared to the identity crisis of where the Democrats are.
I agree.
But again, all the regulations that take place in New York is what costs you know the high the cost of living in New York.
And this guy is talking about state-owned or city-owned groceries.
I have no idea where that money is going to come from.
Who's going to take the stores in, and where who's going to buy these store to go ahead and give it to the people?
It doesn't exist.
It doesn't exist.
and by the way, the margins that of grocery stores in terms of their profit margin are very small.
They make their money off of high volume sales and, and keeping those store shelves full.
But good luck.
I mean, I I think if he gets elected, it's, you know, it's going to be a mass exit.
It's going to be a jailbreak out of there.
Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend.
800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
We'll come back.
The other news of the day, your call straight ahead.
You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show and stay tuned.
More memorable moments, interesting guests, and a lot of fun coming up next.
More of the best of the Sean Hannity Show coming up.
*music*
Draining the swamp on corrupt politician at a time.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Twenty-five now to the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh, I know it's it's just shocking.
So shocking in so many ways.
Oh, that Russia collusion happened.
I spent three years of my life covering all of this.
Tulsi Gabbard, newly declassified information, uh, gave a mini mini presser at the White House earlier today.
And here's some of what she said, which we played earlier.
There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.
They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true.
It wasn't.
The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out.
They manufactured findings from shoddy sources.
They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims.
They disobeyed traditional trade craft, intelligence community standards, and withheld the truth from the American people.
In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election in November of 2016.
They worked with their partners in the media to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump and launching what would be a years-long coup against him and his administration.
...information implicates former President Obama in criminal behavior.
We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this.
For even former President Obama?
Correct.
The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment.
There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.
Wow.
Anyway, here to shed some more light on this and give us more analysis of this, Alan Wilson, South Carolina Attorney General, currently running for governor, uh supports the efforts of the Department of National Intelligence and Tulsi Gabbard, as they now push for a what may end up being a special prosecutor or counsel involved in this.
You know, I've gone over this now with Bill O'Reilly and with John Solomon and my own analysis and my own reading of now what has been two document disclosures, two declassifications that have taken place with Tulsi Gabbard.
And what is what is beyond frustrating to me, it seems like deep state operatives, to use the appropriate term in my view, have now put cinder blocks on the scales of three presidential elections.
We'll work our way backwards.
And in 2024, it was all the weaponization from 20 to 2024 to make it impossible for Donald Trump to be a viable candidate.
If you look at the 2020 race, we know that the FBI had verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop.
They knew that Bob Costello, then Rudy Giuliani's attorney, had a copy of that laptop.
They knew that it would leak and they spent the summer of 2020 meeting with big tech companies on a weekly basis.
Warning them about that they may be victims of a Russian disinformation campaign that may involve Hunter and Joe Biden and even Burisma Holdings.
And then when the New York Post story did break, in fact, a lot of these companies, including Mark Zuckerberg and and Jack Dorsey, then running Twitter, you know, said, is this what you've been warning about or is this true?
They would not give them the answer that they knew to be true is that the laptop was in fact authentic and that they had discovered that back in March, which means that they actively participated in influencing the election because that would have had a big impact, in my view, on on the election results.
And you work your way back to 2020.
a pass.
We know that he himself and others were warned not to trust the dirty Russian disinformation dossier that Hillary Clinton paid for.
There was there was Russian election interference, but that only came from that side.
And that in fact, this unverifiable, completely debunked now information was used for four FISA applications to backdoor spy on Donald Trump, both as uh as a candidate, as a transition team, and as a president.
Uh to me, it sounds like Senator Blocks on scales of elections.
Uh, do you see crimes or a need for a huge investigation?
What do you see in this?
Shellan, absolutely.
And you said at the very top of the block time here, you said this is how shocking this this is.
This is only four days since all of this stuff has been revealed.
And the question that I keep asking myself is if you look at how the uh intelligence assessment that was issued leading up to December 7th, was that Russia had nothing to do uh with tampering of the 2016 election?
And then you look at January 6th, the real controversial January 6th in 2017, that there was a newly issued intelligence assessment to saying Russia did tamper at the 2016 election, and you realize that the president of the United States directed that that new assessment be issued, then the question I have for people is do you think Barack Obama would have reconvened the National Security Council and ordered a new assessment if Hillary Clinton had won?
And the answer is no, he wouldn't have.
This the people around Barack Obama and the Obama administration are some same people who weaponized the criminal justice system against President Trump while using that same criminal justice system to protect the Biden family.
These are the same people that weaponized the legacy media as well as our social media overlords against President Trump.
These are also the same people who weaponized the intelligence community industrial complex against the president.
So now they're calling they're calling all of us crazy and have called us crazy.
They've called you crazy, John Solomon crazy, for daring to believe our eyes, our lying eyes, as opposed to them.
So I would love to see a full-on investigation and a full vetting of the truth for the American people.
We owe we owe the American people nothing less.
What do you make of Tulsi Gabbard's comments from earlier today?
I think she's incredibly courageous.
I mean, she used very bold language, uh, you know, treasonous conspiracy.
She called out the president, she called out everyone in his National Security Council.
I mean, she stood up there in front of the American people and laid it all out and stood up against, you know, the the legacy media.
So I mean, I'm very, very proud of her.
I'm very impressed with the the fortitude and the courage that she has had, and now they're going to go after her like nothing you've ever seen.
But I stand behind her, and I'm going to call another attorneys general in this country to stand for a full accounting and a full investigation.
And Pam Bondi, who is a good friend of mine, I have full faith and confidence that she will put the best people on this and we will get an accounting of what happened four or five years ago.
If you take a look at some of the declassified materials that have come out to this point, we find that rank and file career intelligence officials came to a very different assessment than what ultimately evolved after Obama and his cronies at the highest levels of these three-letter agencies got their hands on it.
In other words, they said, no, there was no Trump Russia collusion.
And then all of a sudden that emerged into there was, which emerged into this narrative that literally took up an enormous, inordinate amount of time during Donald Trump's presidency.
Do you believe that the evidence is now showing that they purposefully to use John Solomon's word words polluted and corrupted that information for political purposes?
And if they did, what is the crime?
Well, I absolutely agree with John Solomon.
I do believe that they polluted uh, you know, this whole process for their own personal political agenda.
And again, the same people around President Obama, you know, during that period of time are the same people that were driving everything against President Trump during his first term, as well as all the criminal trials and the civil cases going against him when he was out of office and are the ones trying to discredit the president now.
Um obviously, you know, I want to I want to withhold my final judgment on what crimes have been committed until we get something more from the Department of Justice.
But I stand one thousand percent behind Tulsi Gabbard and you and everyone else calling on a full vetting and a full accounting.
We need an investigation.
We need a full report on this.
And I don't I don't want the report coming from members of Congress, even in our own party.
I want the report coming from the law enforcement community in the Justice Department as it is as it stands right now.
If you are the attorney general, you are the attorney general of South Carolina, how would you approach this from an investigative standpoint based on what we now know that has been declassified?
I mean, full transparency.
I mean I mean Tulsi Gabbard's released all the documents that she has found.
I think we have to allow the Justice Department an opportunity to appoint a special counsel if that's the direction they decide to go.
We have to give them an opportunity to put things together.
And I think Attorney General Bondy needs to have a press conference.
I my recommendation would be to her that trust and credibility must be restored into the criminal justice system at the federal level as well as the intelligence community.
And the only way to do that is to allow the American people to have full sunlight, full transparency, full accounting, make everything available on public portals on the websites, give us access to everything, and then let us look for ourselves.
Don't I don't want talking heads on the left-wing media news outlets telling me what I should believe.
I want to see it for myself.
And that's what the attorney ought to do, in my opinion.
Quick break, right back.
We'll continue more with Alan Wilson, South Carolina Attorney General on the other side, and more of your calls coming up as well.
And all things simple man Bill O'Reilly, 800-941 Sean is our number.
Uh listen, I want to remind you about Burner BYRNA.
It is they now have their new uh compact launcher.
It's four inches long, it's two smartphones thick, it's easy to conceal carry on your body.
You won't attract unnecessary attention.
And the beauty of this technology is you can incapacitate an any perpetrator, any size, thirty to forty minutes, it may save your life.
Uh it has a powerful range of fifty to sixty feet.
They have powerful deterrence like tear gas, pepper spray, kinetic rounds, and this technology so trusted and so advanced that over five hundred government agencies, police departments, private security firms.
Guess what?
They're now using this technology.
Uh, and it's also great because it's legal in all fifty states.
You don't need a permit, you don't need a background check, and I urge all of you to to get one.
Uh all of their pistols are hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
It fires at 400 feet per second, 41 joules of force per square inch.
It's perfect for anybody that wants to protect themselves.
Check out the videos, determine for yourself.
BY RNA dot com today.
Up next, our final roundup and information overload hour.
All right, we continue now with South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson is with us.
What about Cash Patel, the FBI director, and his investigation that he opened weeks ago into this grand conspiracy that this has now gone on through three presidential elections.
Is it possible in this great country of ours, this great constitutional republic uh that we live in that in fact that there are people at the highest levels of government that did try to influence the outcome of elections with disinformation?
I mean, listen, it it shatters people's trust and whatever trust and faith some of us had in the federal government, which I uh really haven't had a lot of in the last ten years, but it has shatters people's faith and confidence in law enforcement.
You know, when Cash Patel came in, I heard that he cleaned out the top floor of the FBI building uh and got rid of all of the institutional people and started rebuilding his senior leadership team.
I thought that was a great beginning to his administration at the FBI.
Get rid of the old and put in fresh new people that that don't have any political uh leanings or at least aren't beholden to political interest and empower them to go find the truth.
And I'm glad to see what he's done thus far, and I trust that this investigation will reveal the truth eventually.
Well, I I think it will, but I mean, just based on what we're seeing now, the there certainly seems to be a corruption of information for the purposes of undermining uh a newly and duly elected president of of the United States, and it did consume three years of Trump's presidency.
So it seems pretty overwhelming as we begin our investigative part of it.
Um if it just your knowledge of the law on the periphery, what what might they be looking at legal legally in terms of laws that were broken?
I would imagine if you're trying to influence the outcome of an election, uh, that there's got to be statutes that are applicable.
Well, absolutely.
And in this particular case, it it's gonna come down to intent and authority.
What authority did the president have?
Was he acting within the confines of his constitutional authority, and then what was his intent?
Um and again, obviously there's a Supreme Court case on on President Trump uh regarding presidential authority and what is and what is not considered criminal or sanctionable uh conduct, and they're gonna have to apply that.
But right now is this is the post-election of 2016, going into December of 2016 and January of 2017.
Was President Obama trying to undermine, uh intentionally undermine President Trump as he entered office.
What did he know?
When did he know it?
Obviously, I think the evidence bears out right now that he had he had a motivation, otherwise he wouldn't have uh reissued uh that intelligence assessment, Hillary Clinton won.
There would have been no reissuing.
He would have gone with what they had, because it wouldn't have mattered to him.
But Trump was coming into office and they had to stop him, they had to undermine him.
That is what I believe, but I'm gonna reserve my final judgment until we get a full vetting in an investigation.
Well, do you think, for example, in 2020, when they knew and they had validated the authenticity of Hunter's laptop and they were meeting weekly with big tech companies, and even though they knew the truth when the story broke publicly, they would not validate that for the very companies that they were warning that they might be victims of a disinformation campaign of.
Does that sound like election interference to you?
It very well could be, Sean.
I mean, absolutely.
Um it could be election interference.
Again, and again, um I I'm I want to see more information, but absolutely these people were colluding with the big tech bros, the our tech overlords, they were colluding with folks within the criminal justice system, the FBI, they were they've been colluding with uh folks across the political spectrum to undermine President Trump.
And that's why, you know, I want to I want to see Cash Patel and Pam Bondy, I want to see them shine a full light on this thing.
I appreciate what Tulsi Gabbard has done.
Put it all out there.
Let's investigate it, and let's hold these people accountable under criminal law if we can.
At a minimum, let's at least shame the hell out of them.
Yeah, I agree.
Anyway, we appreciate your time.
Attorney General South Carolina Alan Wilson, thank you, sir, for being with us.
We appreciate it.
Sean, thank you.
