Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right.
News roundup and information overload hour 800-941-SHAWN, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
So we have new developments today.
If you go back to the declassification by Tulsi Gabbard, let's remind you of what she said when she announced she was making this declassification.
Some of the things that she found, like, for example, then-CIA Director John Brennan overruling CIA officers who dared to challenge the Russiagate narrative.
Remember, the original intelligence assessment report that was put out was one that said that Donald Trump never colluded with Russia, and there was no evidence of such.
And this is weeks and weeks after the 2016 election.
Here's what she said.
The Intelligence Committee's oversight report reveals that CIA Director Brennan overruled senior CIA officers who challenged the Obama-ordered intelligence assessment, stating, quote, we don't have direct information that Putin wanted to get Trump elected.
Yet, the Obama-directed assessment was published on January 6, 2017, which explicitly stated, quote, we assess Putin and the Russian government aspired to help President-elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him, end of quote.
With regards to the SEAL dossier, we now know that one of the source documents that the Obama administration used in the creation of this intelligence assessment in January of 2017 was none other than the discredited, unverified Steele dossier.
The House Intel report states, quote, contradicting public claims by then CIA Director Brennan that the dossier was not in any way incorporated into this intelligence assessment.
The dossier was referenced in the intelligence assessment's main body text and further detailed in a two-page assessment annex.
John Brennan lied, and he denied using this dossier in this intelligence assessment that President Obama ordered because he knew it was discredited.
It was a politically motivated, manufactured document.
He directed senior CIA officials to use it anyway.
They knew by December of 2016, that's why they got rid of Christopher Steele at the time.
They knew it was discredited.
They were even warned about it as early as August of 2016.
Bruce Orr warned James Comey not to trust the document, that it was political in nature.
And this was the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier.
And anyway, it was not only discredited and unverified, it has since been totally, completely debunked.
It was debunked by December of 2016.
And then it raises questions about Comey because it was the bulk of information also used for not one, not two, not three, but four FISA applications, three of which Comey personally signed on to himself, even well after the point, designing at least two of them, knowing completely that it was discredited by law.
Once he knows that information presented to a FISA court ends up being false, at that point, he has an obligation to go back to the FISA court and say, no, we made a mistake.
And we have this big story breaking earlier today that Cash Patel has turned over documents to the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, which apparently he found a trove of sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump-Russia probe that were buried in multiple, quote, burn bags in a secret room inside the FBI.
And sources now telling Fox News Digital that the burn bag system is used to destroy documents designated as classified or higher.
And anyway, the multiple burn bags were found filled with thousands of documents.
And sources now saying that one of the documents the FBI officials found in the burn bag was the classified annex to the former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes the underlying intelligence that he reviewed and the declassification of the classified annex is being done in close coordination with John Ratcliffe,
the CIA director, Cash Patel, the FBI director, and the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, according to people.
But anyway, this will be transmitted now to the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman.
And then this goes to the broader investigation opened by Cash Patel's FBI into what is a grand conspiracy to put cinder blocks on the scales of elections, which it appears, based on everything we've been reporting now for years, absolutely positively have happened.
Sean Davis with the Federalist is going to join us in just a second here.
He's the CEO and founder of the Federalist.
And he put up a post that pointed out that there are five to ten people that have been deeply involved in reporting on the Russia collusion hoax from the very beginning, back in early 2017.
He points out rightly so.
He's one of them.
Also others, and that they've been doing this for eight years.
Well, we've been doing it on this show and been doing it on Hannity.
And we've had Sean Davis on at various times about all of this, discussing it with our ensemble cast.
But the blockbuster revelations he points out from last week about the fraudulent intelligence community assessment is not old news, and it's not.
And anyone saying that there's nothing new in the recent declassification is flat-out lying, and it's not a nothing burger.
These are called smoking guns in the industry.
Anyway, Sean Davis joins us now.
Sir, how are you?
I'm doing well.
Thank you for having me.
Well, we were on similar parallel paths at the time.
And I know that people like you and others were doing your work.
We had you on numerous times to talk about this and other issues.
But what you're pointing out in your post, top Obama officials and their corrupt media stenographers repeatedly lied when they claimed that the bogus steele dossier, which was paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, was never referenced in the body of this intelligence assessment.
Now, Tulsi Gabbard made that very bold statement based on the declassification announcement that she made, and she made it clearly.
And fake news CNN, which went wall to wall with this phony Russia collusion hoax all those years, even cut away from the press conference because it totally discredited what they had been reporting for the longest period of time, but more specifically that three-year period.
Right.
And this was a major blockbuster because there were always two big pillars that were erected in service of the Russia collusion hoax.
The second one was this idea that Trump colluded with Putin to steal the election from Hillary.
That's what the Steele dossier was all about.
But none of that would have been possible rhetorically without the first pillar, which was the allegation that Russia interfered in the election in 2016 for the purpose of electing Donald Trump and defeating Hillary Clinton.
That really was the foundation of everything.
And what we've learned in the last week from Gabbard and Ratcliffe, and God bless them for finding this information and getting it out there, we found that that first pillar, this idea that Russia was interfering to help Trump win, that was a lie, that they knew it was a lie, that they never had any intel to support it, and that they even used the Steele dossier contradictory to John Britton's sworn congressional testimony.
They even used the steel dossier to support this lie that Putin wanted Trump to win.
You can start on a basic level because lying to Congress under oath is a crime, and that would then therefore implicate a number of top people.
I would assume Brennan and Clapper and Comey, and we could just start there.
Is that correct?
It is.
That is correct, but there's also a five-year statute of limitations if you're looking at perjury or false statements.
Brennan's came within the last couple of years.
think he told Congress this particular falsehood as recently as 2023.
So if you're just looking at some of them were in 2020, and I believe that they can get this going and extend the statute of limitations is my understanding for those three in particular.
Well, I think they may be able to.
I think the better case for tolling the statute of limitations is to not look at singular false statements to Congress as the basis for all criminal charges.
It's to look at everything that was done since 2017 as part of a massive fraudulent conspiracy against the American people and against the government of the United States.
And each new false statement they make today or tomorrow or a week from now is an overt act in furtherance of that conspiracy, which starts that statute of limitations clock over all again.
That's all true, which is part of the reason why I'm looking at the broader investigation of Cash Fatel.
Now, from my vantage point, everything that we know about 2016 and 17 and how the original intelligence assessment that came from rank and file, career, rank-and-file, senior intel officials, they concluded something that was very clear, that there was no Trump-Russia collusion.
Well, it turns out that Barack Obama, according to the declassification and others, did not like that assessment.
And then they went about the business of redoing it and creating a false narrative based in part on a debunked dossier that Hillary Clinton had bought and paid for that they were warned about early in the campaign, Brennan himself warning Obama and that it was also used for not one but four FISA applications.
So I would argue that that's part of the grand conspiracy, and that is to undermine a duly elected president.
Then I would argue that it continues through 2020 because we know that they verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop.
The FBI did in March of 2020.
And then they systematically went about meeting on a weekly basis with all these big tech companies and warning them that they may be victims of a Russia hoax and disinformation campaign.
And they also knew at the time that Rudy Giuliani's attorney, Bob Costello, had a copy of Hunter's very real laptop.
They knew it would become public.
They were warning these companies specifically that this Russian disinformation may be about Hunter or Joe Biden, and it might even include Burisma, is my understanding.
And then when the story broke in the New York Post in October of 2020, many of those social media company leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey at Twitter, they were asking the FBI, is this what you were warning about or is it true?
They wouldn't give them the answer, even though they knew the truth.
They knew what the answer was.
They had pre-bunked the entire story.
The story gets suppressed.
That impacts the election.
To me, that's putting cinderblocks on the scales of an election.
And lastly, I would argue from 2020 to 2024 and the weaponization of the DOJ, et cetera, and lawfare that went on against Donald Trump.
That was to bloody him up and destroy him so he would never be a viable candidate at all for 2024.
That, to me, all combined, would be the grand conspiracy.
You have many of the same actors, names, and players.
Thoughts?
Oh, I completely agree.
And let's transport ourselves back to when the FBI raided Trump's personal home in Mar-a-Lago, which was just a shocking, unprecedented act of thuggery.
One of their stated reasons for going in there was they thought he had a bunch of these documents implicating them in their Russiagate conspiracy, and they were going back there to take all those documents back from him.
So even the raid of him, the federal charges against him, were part of this larger conspiracy that started with the entire Russiagate collusion hoax.
And this isn't just the biggest scandal of the last couple years or the biggest scandal of the 21st century.
I think it is the biggest political scandal in American history.
And to date, yet not one person has gone to prison for it.
Quick break, right back more with Sean Davis, CEO, co-founder of the Federalist on the other side.
And your call's coming up 800-941-Sean as we continue.
All right, we continue now.
Sean Davis is with us, CEO, co-founder of the Federalist.
This is where I guess we have to manage people's expectations, right?
I mean, I never like to overpromise and under-deliver.
I think the evidence is overwhelming.
I think it's incontrovertible.
I think the timeline is very clear.
The 51 former Intel officials, not one of them knew a thing about Hunter's laptop.
They knew that the steel dossier was garbage.
They knew the real value of Mar-a-Lago.
They knew that the statute of limitations had run out on a legal non-disclosure agreement.
And I can keep going and going and going.
It's just never-ending, made-up, trumped-up charges, pun intended, to destroy this man and to impact presidential elections and impact the office of the presidency.
Now, I would agree with you.
I think it's the biggest scandal in history.
Will anything happen, in your view?
Well, I think one good development on that front was when Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the formation of what she called a strike force from DOJ.
And if strike force is a very particular type of entity, it's not just one special prosecutor with the imprimatur DOJ going to investigate stuff by himself.
It is a directive that all agencies have to work together towards a common goal of investigating and prosecuting crime.
And if you look at the history of these DOJ strike forces, these multi-agency strike forces, they were really designed and used to great effect against organized crime, against mob crime, to root out and prosecute racketeering.
That to me is a sign that DOJ is very seriously looking at what happened, not as a series of discrete events whereby one or two Intel officials set something false before Congress, but a massive conspiracy designed to defraud the entire United States for years.
So I think that's a great development from our DOJ so far.
I think it is as well.
I have a pretty high degree of confidence that this is not being done for no reason.
And I hope we get to the bottom of it because if we don't, I think what Dan Bongino was warning about this weekend in his widely publicized ex-post, we're not going to have a republic at the end of this process if this type of thing can go on and continue and people are not held accountable.
Sean Davis, CEO, co-founder, Federalist, we appreciate you.
Thank you, sir.
Always a pleasure.
Thank you.
All right, let's get to our busy, busy telephones here.
Let's say hi to Steve in Colorado.
What's up, Steve?
How are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, I just called to address the rumors that we've been hearing.
Okay.
We're even thinking about starting a Facebook group.
It's called Truckers for Sean Hannity for President.
Oh, my gosh.
Linda, why did you start this?
I can't get away from this.
First of all, I love our truckers.
You know, I realize and recognize that there's nothing in any store we go to except that you guys got it there.
I appreciate the hard work that you do every day.
I'm a little worried about your industry because now they have self-driving rigs.
Did you see this?
Yeah.
I'm a little worried about that.
Are you?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, no, not really.
You know, but, you know, the other thing is we would like you to pick Linda as Secretary of Defense.
Wow.
Now, hold on, we've got a good quiz for you, too, Sean.
For your VP, this individual.
You know not what you speak.
Do you know how dangerous that would be if she was in charge of our military?
I think it'd be wonderful.
Wait until you see who we'd like you to pick for your VP.
Oh, who's up?
Openly said on your show that he thought omelets were better than sex.
Senator John Kennedy, he did, yes.
Kennedy.
But now for your chief.
He is one of my favorite senators.
Why don't you like my choice?
I said, if I ever did run and I have no intention of it, and I don't know why Linda's stirring up garbage because I'm getting ass now wherever I go about this.
It's beginning to.
I'm going to put, I'm not Stephen A. Smith.
I'm not playing this out for a long period of time.
Well, how about for your chief of staff, though?
Because we know that she actually runs the show and keeps you and Linda in check.
Katie is your chief of staff.
Okay, this is like the biggest suck-up call we've ever had in the history of the show.
I mean, you are sucking up to Linda and Katie.
Why don't you mention JC Own?
Why don't you mention Ethan?
Why don't you mention sweet baby James on top of it?
I'm sure you have jobs for them, too.
Listen, it could just be the Hannity show goes to Washington.
You know, they make movies about these things.
It's fine.
That's Mr. Smith goes to Washington, not Mr. Hannity goes to Washington.
I mean, you know, different times, different people.
I think, you know, listen, truckers are very smart people.
You know, he speaks, he knows of where he comes.
I love his ideas.
I do like the idea, whoever the nominee would be.
I don't think it would be a bad idea to make Trump the VP.
What do you think of that idea?
It can't happen because if you were to ever die, he wouldn't be able to take on the role as president.
Wrong.
You'd be ineligible.
Absolutely.
He would not be ineligible.
You are incorrect.
Okay, tell me why I'm wrong.
Because he's the vice president.
He would assume the role of president for the rest of the term.
That is not unconstitutional.
So I'm going to chime in here.
Trump cannot be VP, unfortunately, because in order to be VP, you have to qualify to run for president.
So he would actually not be able to run for VP under you.
It's not been determined that that is, in fact, the case.
It's never had a constitutional challenge.
And I believe if he's running for VP, you don't assume that the president's going to die.
But in order to be VP, you have to qualify to be president.
And since he's already had two terms, he doesn't qualify to be president again.
Therefore, he can't be named as VP.
Why are you ruining my great fun that I'm having with the idea that Linda brought up, which I never wanted to bring up, that she claims she saw on social media, which I doubt in the first place?
You did so.
You bring it up.
You told me that.
I was merely the communicator.
That's all.
It's very simple.
I did not write it.
I did not write it up.
What do you mean America brought it up?
But what you read, two posts on X that might have said this might have.
I've been on X all day.
I live on X. That's where my world is.
That's all I read all day long.
Okay.
And how many, and how many posts did you see before you brought this to my attention?
Enough for me to bring it to your attention.
Let me ask you something, true or false.
How often do I bring something to your attention?
From very rarely.
Next to never.
Next to never.
That's right.
So you think I saw two posts and I was like, oh, this is interesting.
I just don't believe there's widespread support.
I don't think I can get elected dog catcher if you want to know the truth.
You know, throw your hat in the ring.
That's the only way to find out.
Listen, I go back to one of my favorite movies of all time, and that's Gladiator.
And Marcus Aurelius in this incredible scene says, upon my death, I will bestow my powers onto you.
And he says it to Rome's greatest general, Maximus.
And Maximus says, well, what about Commodus?
Commodus is not a moral man.
You have known this your entire life.
Do you not, Maximus, accept this great honor?
And he answers perfectly with all my heart, no.
That is why it must be you.
Now, I'm saying no, but I'm not General Maximus.
I'm not that great general.
There's got to be better qualified people.
I can think of a few off the top of my head.
Why don't you run if you're so fascinated by all this?
Go, you run for office.
You'd have to work hard to get my vote, though.
Listen, you know, I don't know what I would have your vote.
I mean, if, you know, who's running against me?
Let's be honest.
Come on.
I'd have to vote for you, but otherwise you'd put me in prison.
There you go.
Lock them up.
Throw away the key.
I don't know if I would ever run it.
If I made you be VP, I'd be poisoned within three months.
No, I would never.
I would give you at least six months.
I would never poison you in three months.
Way too often.
Poison you in six months.
Six months.
Let it seem like a lot of people.
The problem is people are going to start.
This keeps coming up with callers now because you started this and people are going to start thinking it's serious, and it's not.
I'm being very clear to everybody.
I have no desire or intention to ever run.
Listen, Katie wants to be chief of staff.
That's really why I did it.
I mean, I didn't want to spill the beans earlier, but that's what it really is.
All right.
Let's go back to our busy phones.
John in San Diego, Kogo Radio.
What's up, John?
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean.
Now that Lee Zeldin is removing regulations, you're going to learn in real time that regulations cause all of the inflation in America.
There is no other source.
And when you remove them, you cut the price of everything because you cut the cost.
Regulations, enforcing and complying with regulations costs money, but they don't increase the value of anything.
That's how we get inflation.
The cost goes up, but the value of it never went up.
And when Powell says, oh, we're worried about inflation because we can't lower interest.
Low interest rates have never caused inflation.
High interest rates do.
And anyone who's read the Federal Reserve CPI chart and the Fed funds chart together can see that.
High interest rates drag inflation up and low interest rates drag inflation down.
And they move together.
And it's been what they've been lying about this for a century.
And it's as big a lie as claiming that Smoot-Hawley made the depression worse when it actually did nothing and claiming that, by the way, the Smoot-Hawley actually happened after the crash in 1929, just for factual purposes.
Although there are those that would argue that it contributed to the ongoing economic situation at the time.
But it didn't contribute at all.
What happened is in 1931, Congress raised everyone's income taxes 150%.
That's what the depression worse.
And that's that's why I'm a supply cider.
That's why I think people have completely, they do not understand the impact and the magnitude of Donald Trump giving the largest tax cut in American history.
And people think that the math is, oh, if you cut taxes, you're going to reduce revenues when just the opposite is true.
And it's been proven again and again and again.
And you add energy dominance, then you add $12 trillion in committed manufacturing investments from countries and companies.
And then you add, you know, all of this together, I'm telling you right now, it is going to be an economic golden era based on the fundamentals.
Now, Bill O'Reilly's right to caution that there can be an unforeseen event.
God forbid another 9-11 happens.
God forbid a COVID happens.
But I'm saying if all things remain normal relatively, that I think that we're headed for a really good period of time and economic prosperity and growth that every American will benefit from.
And the problem is, Kate, also, everybody still claims that the Clinton budget surplus reduced the debt.
It did not.
The debt went up every year.
And the only spending cuts were on interest on Treasury bonds because it happened at a special time where, remember in 1979, 80 and 81, we had the highest interest rates in history?
I do.
Okay, well, 15 years later is-All right, you remember they were at 21 and a half percent.
That's 94, 95, 96.
That's when we paid all those off, and they got reduced, and they got replaced with low interest, 5% Treasury bonds instead of the 15%.
And that's where the entire cut in government spending was that gave us the surplus.
But the debt still went up every year.
Listen, if we could have economic growth, rein in spending, and that means if you cut a penny or two pennies out of every dollar,
eliminate baseline budgeting, revenues go up dramatically because of energy and because of the tax cuts and because of all the economic measures that President Trump has put in place, the $12 trillion in new manufacturing investment.
All of this is going to create more revenues to the government.
They have got to rein in spending on top of it.
And that doesn't mean that you can't give tax relief or further tax relief to the American people.
I think they deserve it.
Anyway, my friend, I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
800-941-Sean, New York.
Pete, standing by.
How you doing, Pete?
What's going on?
God help us if Mondavi gets in.
The process that we had, the peaceful process that turned into riots, will seem like nothing compared to what will happen if this guy gets in.
And, you know, what's happened in the last 48 hours with a cop losing their life, and these people are making light of it.
And the city is so unsafe, Sean.
This is a city that even the chief keeps saying that there's 34,000 cops in New York.
There was a mass exodus of cops retiring over the last four or five years.
How many do you really think there are?
From what I've heard, there's less than 20.
Well, according to Curtis Leary said, we're down to 31,000.
And at their height during the Juliana years, I think we were well over 40,000.
That means far fewer street patrols.
That's a 25% reduction.
Then you add to it no bail laws.
Then you add to that defund dismantle and the desire to replace police with social workers.
I mean, it is a prescription for a disaster.
Thanks for your time, Sean.
Just wanted to make that.
All right, my friend.
God bless you.
800-941-Sean is on number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Bill is in New York as well.
Hey, Bill, how are you?
Sean, how are you doing?
Good.
What's going on, sir?
Check my call.
I am a longtime listener and television watcher, and I have problems with the Republicans.
Lindsey Graham years ago said he was going to have Biden and Hunter on to find out what was going on with the laptop and everything, and they never followed through.
What makes you think that with this investigation, even though they have all the information about the visor warrant being illegal and Comey and Brandon and Paige, what makes you think that they're actually going to follow through and prosecute?
I'm not making a promise I can't make.
I'm not.
But I do believe that this is smoking gun evidence, and I do believe the case is so overwhelming and the evidence is so incontrovertible and the corruption so deep.
I agree with Sean Davis.
The biggest political scandal in our history.
This makes Watergate look like jaywalking to me.
And I've said that before.
The golden years are back.
Making America great again.
Hang on, it's going to be fun.
Sean Hannity 2025 is on right now.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
Record-setting second quarter, exceeding expectations.
Anyway, we'll check in with Steve Moore, Brian Brenberg, Laura Trump tonight, Greg Jarrett, Nicole Parker, Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, Clay Travis, Nine Eastern, Setty DBR, Hannity, Fox News.
We'll see you tonight back here tomorrow.
