Soros Caught - July 31st, Hour 2
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, thanks, Gotchan.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free.
Our number is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Well, smoking gun evidence.
I've been getting wind of this now from my friend John Solomon for days.
Then he was on TV the other night.
He said, I expect in coming days that we're going to hear a lot about, and he goes, and he laid out the perfect tease for what was declassified, this annex, which was released by Chuck Grassley earlier today, declassified intelligence tying Soros to Clinton's Russia gate plan for the FBI to put more oil into the fire.
That's the headline on justthenews.com.
This has been a story that John Solomon has been working on for years and years of his life.
He has more contacts deep within the intelligence community, the FBI, than any other person that I know on the face of this earth.
And we have worked together in tandem, along with a very small cast of other people, including Greg Jarrett, Sarah Carter, and then some members of Congress that were very, very helpful during the process.
Devin Nunes would be one, Mark Meadows.
Rather than me rehashing a lot of what I said in the last hour, why don't we bring John on and get his take on it, but also tie this into the declassification by Tulsi Gabbard at the DNI.
And when you put it all together, what I believe we are looking at is probably what Chuck Grassley classified as the biggest political scandal in American history.
I've been saying that this is going to make Watergate look like a jaywalking ticket in the end.
And I believe this smoking gun out today proves that comment to be correct.
John Solomon, founder, editor-in-chief, chief investigative reporter, justthenews.com, sir.
Well, how many years of your life have you worked on this story?
Well, I remember a certain March 2017 sitting in your studio, and I told you what I thought was going on.
He said, let's peel this onion back.
And so it's been eight years, the eight years this year.
It's just remarkable.
And I think it's time you've given it because it's an important, it was your Brohorn and your own instincts that helped drive this.
And so we're very lucky now to really understand how it went down.
So we have this newly declassified so-called Clinton plan intelligence, including intercepted communications from a George Soros ally by the Russians, ironically, which suggested that Hillary's campaign against Donald Trump was plotting a long-term affair to demonize Trump.
Now, this is the information.
We had got a little piece of this information that even foreign actors knew that Hillary had planned this operation ahead of time.
And the revelations include these communications or purported communications from Leonard Bernardo.
It's not somebody I'd heard of before, top official at George Soros' Open Society Foundations, and communications by Clinton Foreign Policy Advisor Julianne Smith.
Tell us what this says and what stands out the most to you.
Well, it makes sense that if you were Hillary Clinton, you're going into your Democratic National Nominating Convention, you just survived by a whisker, an email scandal that maybe others would have been indicted for, that you would tell your big benefactors, your donors, the base of your party, hey, I've got a plan to get myself out of this hole.
Yeah, I got the classified email problem.
It's been hanging around my neck for two years, but I got a plan to change the topic.
And you would tell your donors, you tell your benefactors.
That's how a political candidate works.
And that's what this email, which the Russians purported to have intercepted, says.
Leonard Bernardo, top official with George Soros' Open Societies Foundation, is recounting his conversation with a top advisor at the Clinton campaign, saying, All right, they're going to put a plan in place.
And the plan is they're going to make it look like Donald Trump has a Russia collusion problem.
Maybe he was involved in the hacking of Hillary's emails, and we're going to change the subject from her email scandal to this.
And by the way, we don't really know if the Russians hacked Hillary Clinton's emails because we don't have direct evidence from our vendor, the vendor that the FBI then relied on to make the claim.
But hey, we're going to let it roll and let's see where it goes.
That email has extraordinary detail, and it's four days before the FBI opens up Crossfire Hurricane.
And it's the day that Hillary Clinton's plan starts to go in motion.
Joe Biden is going to go out and give a speech or make a comment and start the rumble.
And then Jake Sullivan and other people are out there.
And Christopher Steele's coming to Washington.
He's about to meet with Bruce Orb on July 30th.
In this four-day window, the Russians knew what was going to happen before it happened.
And then you look at this intercept.
Is it real?
Well, what the guy writes actually occurs all the way through.
So he is either a fortune teller or he got read in, and Hillary Clinton really puts this plan in motion.
Now, there's a let me give the debate because I want people to understand exactly what you're saying here.
July 27, 2016, email from this guy, Leonard Bernardo, four days before they launch Operation Crossfire Hurricane.
That's right.
Quote: HRC, Hillary Rodham Clinton, approved Julia's idea about Trump and Russia hackers hampering U.S. elections.
That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level.
Then it goes on: the point is making the Russian play a U.S. domestic issue.
Yeah, they wanted to make it, they wanted what the Russians did.
They wanted to hang it on Donald Trump.
And of course, that's what happens, right?
A couple days later, a guy named Alexander Downer, who's a friend of the Clinton, walks into the FBI and says, I want to tell you about a conversation in May where I thought a Trump guy was hinting that he might have been involved in the hacking of Hillary Clinton's emails.
Of course, we know that isn't true, but that got reported.
Then Christopher Steele has already set in motion his dossier.
He's coming to Washington, D.C. to meet with Bruce Orr on July 30th.
So from the moment Hillary Clinton approves the plan on July 26 to July 31st, what George Soros's guy purportedly writes in his email that the Russians intercept actually plays out.
So he's either a fortune teller or he knew he was on the know.
And the sad part about this is that Bill Barr and John Durham had a chance to subpoena this email to maybe see if the NSA had it in any of their email or phone intercepts.
We can't tell from the report that they did that.
It doesn't look like they did that.
They left it an unfinished answer.
But if this email gets corroborated, if this is truly an actual email as the Russians intercepted and it was really sent, then this is the roadmap for proving that Hillary Clinton created a ruse and that others would get involved.
Now, let me give you one other piece of the intelligence.
The other thing that's in this chatter that the Russians had is the Russians seemed to know in advance that the FBI was going to participate in the scheme, but they were going to open up an investigation and give credence to it and put it on steroids.
And so the Russians have that component as well, which means they're sitting on perhaps multiple locations and they know now what happens.
Again, this is before July 31st.
Either the Russians and the people they're intercepting are fortune tellers, or they really were on top of what was going on.
And this is what really happened.
The FBI conspired with Hillary Clinton to make a false story look real, look legitimate, and make it an Olympic-sized scandal on Donald Trump so that Hillary Clinton could be taken off the hook on her email scandal.
That's what this says.
And that's why someone like Chuck Grassy, who chooses his words carefully, he's 90 years old.
He's been in Washington 50 years.
He doesn't exaggerate.
He believes that this may be the greatest political scandal of his lifetime.
There's a lot of work that still needs to be done.
We need to authenticate these emails.
John Durham didn't get us all the way there.
Now, what John Durham did do is find some Clinton emails that are legit.
We know for sure they're not Russian, they're real emails that show the plan was being activated the way the Russians said it was going to be activated, the way the Soros intercepted communication.
So there's contemporaneous evidence that that plan was put in motion.
Now, tomorrow, I'm going to give you one of the components of the plan.
You're going to see text messages where the Clinton campaign is trying to get Joe Biden to take the first shot at Clinton.
Let's have the vice president take a first shot and accuse Donald Trump of being a Russian stooge.
And we're going to show you Joe Biden actually delivers the goods.
He fires the first shot.
A lot of people forgot this.
I didn't.
The first shot of the Russia collusion.
Can you give us a little bit of this preview of coming attractions?
What did Biden say?
First, there are the text messages of the Clinton campaign scrambling to get Joe Biden to give some credence to this.
And then he has an interview.
And in the interview, he says, I think Donald Trump wants to bastardize NATO so that the Russians could take over Europe or something to that effect.
He leans right into Donald Trump is a Russian stooge.
And then a couple of days later, you start to see other elements of this story come out.
And you've got, all of a sudden, you've got the DNC lawyers going to the FBI, dropping off a packet saying, here's Alpha Bank.
We know that was bank, a bunk, but they deliver that.
You've got the Christopher Steele thing coming over.
Either these are the most incredible coincidences in all of history, or the Russians really did stumble onto the plot.
And you can see the actual contemporaneous evidence matches what the Russians thought was going to happen because they were sitting on Hillary Clinton's communications.
I think that's what we're going to find out.
I think there's one important line I want to point out to everybody.
I want to remind everybody a story that you allowed me to come on your show and break back in 2020 and 2021.
The official assessment of the United States government is that the Russians did hack into the Democratic National Committee.
Now, they have good evidence, excellent evidence that they hacked into John Podesta's emails.
There's not as good an evidence on the Russian hack into the DNC because the FBI never went and got the servers.
Instead, they trusted the DNC vendor, the security vendor, to look at it.
And in 21, I came on your show and I had this testimony from that vendor, a former FBI agent, and he admitted that they had no evidence that emails were exfiltrated, meaning, all right, the Russians got on the servers, but we don't see any evidence that they pulled anything off of it.
That has always been a red flag.
Congress jumped all over that.
Jim Jordan jumped on it.
Mark Meadows.
I've always kept that in the back of my mind, which is, hey, if they didn't see the emails leave the server, how do you know that the hack actually occurred?
Well, in this email today, in the George Sharp email, there's a line in there that says, hey, that vendor, that security vendor, doesn't have direct proof of the hack.
That's exactly what the security vendor was trying to tell Congress in his testimony.
I think even that evaluation, we have to go back and look and see, well, why did the FBI say it so conclusively because they were relying on Hillary Clinton, the security vendor, and the security vendor said, I didn't have direct evidence of it.
Perhaps another part of the ruse.
All right, quick break more with John Solomon, founder, editor-in-chief, chief investigative reporter, justthenews.com.
Then your calls on the other side, 800-941-Sean.
All right, we continue now.
The Durham Report declassified Annex out today.
John Solomon, founder, editor-in-chief, chief investigative reporter, justthenews.com.
Let's go to the declassification that Tulsi Gabbard released last week.
And what did we learn?
We learned in December there was a post-mortem on the 2016 election.
We learned that senior career intelligence officials determined and ascertained that there was no such thing as Trump-Russia collusion in the election and it played no impact on that election at all whatsoever.
That's the intelligent assessment conclusion that they came up with.
And then there was a meeting in December of 2016 after this report came out by senior career intelligence people saying it didn't happen.
And they didn't like the results of that conclusion.
And then they decided to do another assessment.
And career intelligence, senior career intelligence people warned, you know, very, very clearly that including the Steele dossier, for example, and doing the second assessment was absolutely wrong to do.
The second assessment directly contradicted the first assessment.
We have about a minute, minute and a half.
How do you interpret all of that based on the knowledge we got today?
It's very important that the three people in that August 3rd meeting, Barack Obama, James Comey, and John Brennan, who are in the August meeting, they know the truth.
That Hillary Clinton may have just done this as a dirty trick, are the same guys that decide in December where they're going to do a do-over, right?
Obama orders it.
John Brennan leads it.
James Comey insists to put the debunked Steele dossier into it.
The same three guys that knew back in August that this was a dirty trick are the guys in December hijacking the intelligence and slipping it on its head.
And I want to remind you of one thing why James Comey is going to be so important going forward.
He is the guy that submits the FISA warrants.
He signs them, right?
And that FISA warrant is based on the Steele dossier.
And by December, the Steele dossier is discredited.
Steele's been fired.
The CIA's warned he's been penetrated by Russian intelligence.
They've done an assessment and they can't find any proof that anything in the thing is true and they've debunked something.
They are hanging out there with the FISA court.
One way the FBI could save face with the FISA court is if the intelligence community suddenly decided to treat the Steele dossier legitimately in a bogus intelligence assessment.
A lot of people are going to ask that question.
Was that James Comey's motive for sticking that bad document in the intelligence community assessment?
We don't know, but it needs to be investigated.
But we do know one thing.
And remember, under oath, wasn't Brennan asked if, in fact, they included it and lied and said no?
He said it was just in the appendix, but we now know that conclusions in the main part of it rested on the Steele dossier.
So we now see why Cash Purcell opened up the grand conspiracy case.
You start to see these things in it.
It can't be bumbling.
It looks like intentionality.
And that's where the strike force has to begin its work.
Validate, prove, interrogate, see if there's crimes.
John Solman, we'll have more coverage of this tonight on Hannity, 9 Eastern, DVR.
I would say, am I right in my assessment?
The biggest political scandal, perhaps, in the history of the country?
Certainly Phil's, it's moving in that direction.
I think I went all the proofs in, it probably rises to that level.
Founder, editor-in-chief, chief investigative reporter, justthenews.com.
Well done, my friend.
Thank you.
We appreciate your time, as always.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls here in a minute.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, this is it.
The biggest political scandal, I believe, now in history with the smoking gun.
We can talk more about that.
We'll take some of your calls on it as well.
Again, the number 800-941, Sean, look, there is a ceasefire in Israel.
He asked the people of Israel if they feel peace.
You're going to hear a very different story, I know, because I have so many friends there.
You have bombed out entire neighborhoods and homes and families torn apart.
Kids can't play outside.
They're playing in underground bunkers, believe it or not, playground bunkers.
The violence may have slowed.
The fear hasn't disappeared, and you have tens and tens of thousands of Israelis that are displaced that are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance.
That's why our partnership and the work of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the IFCJ, is more vital than ever.
Maybe others have moved on.
The IFCJ, they remain steadfast.
They are bringing that life-saving aid, long-term support to the people of Israel as they have been fighting for their very survival.
I mean, they are feeding the displaced, the sick, the elderly, Holocaust survivors, children, you name it, food, water, medicines, clothing, shelter.
They're providing all of it, and they just need as much help as possible.
Whatever you can do, whatever you can donate, all of this money goes directly to the people in need, and the need is great.
Please go to their website, ifcj.org.
That's ifcj.org today.
All right, to our busy, busy telephones, let us say hi to James.
He's in my free state of Florida.
James, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
First time caller.
I've been listening to you forever.
Thank you.
What took you so long to call?
Work.
I'm a social worker.
That's a fair answer.
You're allowed to work and make money.
I'm a social worker, so we're always busy.
And I wanted to give my perspective of this community policing idea that people seem to have that social workers are somehow going to magically make policing great again.
It's just an insane idea to think that a social worker has the ability to deal with a domestic violence situation.
Well, let's go back to yesterday, and you have comrade or Marxist Mom Dani.
And what he said yesterday, he tried to walk back his 2020 comments when he said very, very clearly that he wants to defund the police.
And here's what he said.
My statements in 2020 were ones made amidst a frustration that many New Yorkers felt at the murder of George Floyd and the inability to deliver on what Eric Adams, of all people, described as the right for all of us to be able to enjoy safety and justice.
I'm not defunding the police.
I'm not running to defund the police.
Andrew Cuomo is far more comfortable living his life in the past and then attacking tweets of 2020 and then running against the campaign that we have been leading for the last eight months.
Uh-huh.
And then here's Mom Donnie opposing the NYPD Strategic Response Group because they violate civil rights.
This is the very group that showed up on Monday when the shooting took place.
They're the people that are most trained, most capable.
And here's what he said about them.
And as it pertains to the Strategic Response Group, when it was first formed, there was an intention for its use to be more akin to the manner in which it was deployed earlier this week.
What we have found, however, is the city has come to rely upon the strategic response group as its primary means of response to acts of protests across the city when New Yorkers exercise their First Amendment rights.
And that decision in asking the members of that unit to respond to protests as opposed to what was the stated reason is a decision that has led to the violation of a number of New Yorkers' civil rights.
And it's a decision that has been the basis of my critique of the use of the group towards that end.
Well, there's your guy, Mom Donny.
Now, by the way, Yorus, how long have you been a social worker?
I've been a social worker for about 19 years now, doing a child abuse investigation and working with elderly.
Yeah, well, look, there is a great need for social workers, but the idea that we're going to send social workers into violent situations where, you know, people have been lives are being threatened.
I mean, what are you supposed to do?
Is there anything that maybe happened in your childhood that has triggered these feelings of violence and your desire to kill people?
No, you need people with guns that can save the lives of innocent people.
You know, we had Billy Cunningham on earlier in the program today.
You saw that violent riot where this woman got blindsided and knocked out.
And the pictures of the brutal beating she took, and this guy took this beating and they're kicking and pounding on this man's head.
You know, how this guy doesn't have a brain bleed or brain damage at this point is pretty remarkable.
There's a place for it, institutional settings, helping people that are homeless, helping people with mental illness, giving them a place to stay.
And by the way, President Trump has come out and said he wants to get these people off the streets and into facilities, those that are mentally ill, because they do cause a risk to the rest of society.
Now, there's a fine line.
I mean, you could take healthy people and want to commit them.
And certainly there has to be some process by which you and some criteria in which you follow.
But I mean, what they're doing now by allowing people with mental health issues and drug addiction issues on the streets, that's not working.
And it's putting everybody else, every law-abiding citizen, at risk.
Anyway, my friend, I appreciate your call.
Thank you.
800-941-Shauna's number.
If you want to be a part of the program, Missouri Sherry next on the Sean Hannity Show.
Hi.
Hi.
Thanks for taking my call.
Love your show.
I'm just calling in about Sidney Sweeney and her ad, which I watched it, tried really hard to find something wrong with it.
I found nothing.
It's just a pretty girl advertising genes.
But my thing is that the people that have a problem with this that are saying, well, blonde hair, blue eyes did not have a problem with the blonde hair, blue-eyed trans woman that Vogue hired as a model, or the blonde hair, blue-eyed cover girl trans woman.
And there's others, but they didn't have a problem with that.
And they're saying it's Nazism, but yet the same people go out and say from the river to the sea.
So it makes no sense to me.
Listen, I can only say this.
I like her more.
You know why?
Because at least up to now, she's not given in to the woke media mob.
She's not given in.
The gene company's not giving in.
Just the opposite has occurred.
They're selling out of these jeans like crazy.
The campaign is the exact opposite of Dylan Mulvaney and the disaster with Bud Light.
And she's not backing down.
The gene company's not backing down.
And people are responding by buying the genes.
I happen to like jeans.
I'd never heard of this particular brand.
Do they make them for guys land?
I don't even know.
I assume they do, right?
They always make it for guys.
I'm sure they do.
All right.
So she's a pretty young woman, clearly.
And okay, a play on words.
She's selling jeans, J-E-A-N-S.
So she's an attractive young woman.
Oh, jeans, G-E-N-E-S.
How you get from there to eugenics to Nazi Germany, you know, only a crazy, insane liberal could do, could pull that off.
But that's how insane they are.
And if this is where their minds are at, I mean, let them stay there.
Let them stay in Mom Donnyland.
I don't care about that either.
Anyway, it's crazy.
This party has lost their collective minds.
It's crazy.
And the owner's a Jew.
So it doesn't make any sense.
Well, it makes no sense.
It makes none.
Anyway, Sherry, good call.
Appreciate it.
I believe it's Nathania.
Is that how you say it?
New York, New York.
How are you doing, Nathania?
What's going on?
Hey, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
Long time listener, first time caller, because I can never get through.
I'm glad you got through, and you do not have a thick New York accent at all.
I try.
No, you actually do.
In case you didn't know, when I first started in broadcasting, I did not know that I had a thick New York accent.
And I worked hard at trying to minimize it.
I don't know if I'm successful or not because I don't listen to my own show.
No, I can't listen to myself either.
And I'm so glad I'm not hearing the feedback.
So thank you for that.
My question is about Mom Donnie.
And I'm panicked like everybody else.
I don't live in the city.
I live in Long Island.
But where I live and where most people live in Long Island, most people commute into the city.
My fear is that if he wins, and at this point, I think it's a foregone conclusion.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
I don't know.
But my fear is that all of these companies and all of these real estate firms that are going to start pulling out of New York City and the financial firms, all these people that live out here and work in the city are no longer going to have jobs.
So how is that going to ripple out to the suburbs of the tri-state area of New York City?
That's my biggest.
It's going to ripple out big time.
And, you know, for my friends in New York, I don't want this to happen to them.
You know, I'm thoughtful enough now.
For my free state of Florida, it's going to be a mass exodus.
It's going to be a jailbreak.
And it's going to increase property values.
The direct opposite of what's going to happen in New York.
What a lot of people don't know, and I do know because I used to live in your state, and I left your state for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is they didn't want me there.
I could read a room, and there were too many people that I would trigger by my very presence, believe it or not.
I know that sounds absurd, but it's true.
And so I left.
And I can tell you in my free state of Florida, every one of those investment firms, every one of those insurance companies, every one of those big banks, they all, Morgan, Stanley, you name any big company, they all have offices and they are building out more offices in South Florida.
And they call it Wall Street South.
My prediction is they're going to pull up stakes and they're going to probably headquarter completely down in Florida and they're probably going to cut ties.
What does that mean for people in New York?
That means they're either going to move to Florida themselves, means property values will precipitously decline in the short term.
Look, New York is a pretty resilient place.
It might come back.
I don't think it will ever be the city it once was.
That's my own personal belief.
I don't think there's going to be a course correction because I think most people have seen, like I have seen, the handwriting is on the wall.
I can't stop it.
So I might as well move on to friendlier territory.
And that was a big part of my decision.
Now, for the people that live in Long Island, like yourself, I think that you'll see a lot of homes for sale.
I think home prices will decline.
I think people that maybe thought their home was worth X are going to find that it's worth Y and less than what they thought it was.
And they're going to be getting out.
It's probably a scenario where the quicker, the earlier you get out, the better you're going to be.
As of today, this guy wins.
Can something change?
Maybe are people going to buy this election year conversion of Mom Donnie?
I don't know.
It's sad, though.
It is.
Anyway.
It really is.
But thank you for confirming what I've been thinking.
And it's helping me plan.
Nathania, I wish you and your friends all the best.
I really do.
A lot of innocent people are going to get hurt by all of this madness.
All right, quick, Frank, right back to our busy phones.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
We love to hear from you.
800-941-Sean.
George, again, in my free state of Florida.
Hey, George, how are you?
What's going on?
Hey, Sean, how you doing?
Hey, before we begin, I wanted to thank you for inviting me over to Clearwater.
My wife and I loved you last month.
We had a great time, a great evening with like-minded people and stuff.
So it was just a great evening, Sean.
I want to thank you very much for that.
Oh, I'm so glad you came.
We had a great time.
We're going to have an announcement soon.
We're going to be adding at least one show, maybe two shows.
And we also have upcoming the Fox Nation Patriot Awards and some other stuff.
So we're getting out on the road a little bit more than we have in the past.
So looking forward to seeing everybody.
Yeah, my wife said if you do it anymore, you have to have some t-shirts made and some stuff that we can buy stuff out at the front.
So if this, you know, if you start doing it regularly, I like to see a Sean Hannity did in a Jimmy shirt or something.
So it was a great time.
But the reason why I called is with the Hillary emails and stuff that's coming out right now with the Russian hoax, Democrats do things very well.
They usually repeat themselves on any kind of playbooks and stuff.
Everybody's looking at 2016, but Sean, you need to go back to 2015, where Planned Parenthood was caught undercover videos, and they hired with George Soros a research film, correction, a research firm called GPS, Fusion GPS.
Remember, it was Perkins Cooey hired by Hillary, law firm, Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, Dirty Dossier, all debunked, all used, and then they manufactured.
As we see, this was completely manufactured out of thin air.
Everybody knew about it before it happened.
They all then contributed to it post-election to sabotage the Trump presidency.
They tried to do more in 2016, 51 former Intel officials.
They knew it was a very real laptop.
They used lawfare and weaponization in 2024.
That is the grand conspiracy, the biggest political scandal by far in the history of our country.
And we're going to continue to talk about it.
We have a lot on this tonight on Hannity 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
