Sean Hannity discusses various topics including the Democratic Party's struggles, the rise of young progressive leaders like AOC and Zoran Mamdani, and the issue of gerrymandering in blue states. Hannity also delves into the lack of moral clarity regarding the conflict in Israel and the investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith for potential violations of the Hatch Act. The podcast touches on the recent admission by officials that they wouldn't have signed the FISA warrant against Carter Page if they knew then what they know now. Additionally, Hannity promotes home security systems and the legalization of gold and silver in Florida. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you want to join us, well, it's not good if you're a Democrat and fake news CNN and their data guru is saying Democrats are messier than a hoarder's basement.
You ever see that show about hoarding?
Oh my gosh.
Can't believe people.
It's crazy.
I mean, it really is an illness.
It's a sickness.
And these people, you try and help them stop hoarding stuff.
I mean, you can't even walk through the house.
They got garbage and junk piled up everywhere.
It's disgusting.
I could never live like that.
I don't understand it.
Anyway, the guy's name's Harry Anton, and he was marveling on how the Democratic Party has failed to find not only find a new leader, but continues to disappoint voters.
I mean, it really kind of went viral how disastrous Kamala Harris was with uh Stephen Colbert.
Uh pretty fascinating news that Greg Guttfeld was invited on with uh Jimmy uh Fallon.
Give I'll I'll give Fallon credit.
Maybe maybe he's realizing, unlike his peers, that being a partisan uh Democrat uh and not being funny is uh not exactly the best strategy in the world if you want to be successful.
Uh and this goes to kind of like Jay Leno's uh conversation, and and Jay Leno's like, why why would you you know why shoot for just half an audience all the time?
You know, why not try to get the whole?
That's why Jay Leno, as soon as Letterman became a little more edgy, angrier, and more political, Jay Jay Leno just shot right past him and and had massive numbers and uh and did a great job.
But anyway, the this this party is a party in disarray.
Democratic supporters, you know, they're in a state of despair still over Donald Trump's runaway success by every measure imaginable.
They've never had the the lowest approval ratings they've had in in 35 years, they're just sort of falling apart.
More than one in three Democrats consider their own party to be weak and ineffective as they struggle to find an identity.
Um you have AOC, one of the the emerging leaders in the Democratic Party, and Zoran Mam Dani, or we affectionately call him Marxist Mamdanny, Kami Mam Dani, are the future of the Democratic Party.
Young political activists and voters of tomorrow summit in DC told Fox News Digital, and if okay, they're fighting for their future.
This this if this is what they think is real, let them stay there.
Jasmine Crockett, he's becoming one of my favorite Congress people.
Love Jasmine Crockett.
Every time Jasmine Crockett speaks, it's like ratings gold.
Stephen A. Smith, he'll be on TV tonight.
Gives me a hard time.
I know what you're doing.
I'm like, what do you mean what are you doing?
Every time you play Mam Dani, every time you play Jasmine Crockett, every time you play Pocahontas and Pocahontas is out campaigning with Mam Dani today.
But Jasmine Crockett calls Trump a piece of Adam Schiff in a blistering rant.
Uh and you know, just just keep on at it.
It doesn't matter to me.
Young Progressives look to Zor on Mam Dani.
AOC is the future of the Democratic Party, but kind of under one condition.
Uh again, this is at the Young Progressives DC summit.
They're fighting the fighting for a future event featured more than 200 youth organizers, leaders.
I guess they're trying to do what Charlie Kirk has been able to do.
And uh and and I don't know, get young people more involved in politics.
If you go to college campuses, they're almost all they're almost all radical left.
I'm not sure.
I really like AOC, said one attendee.
Unfortunately, I like to see her stand and be more vocal about Palestine.
Oh my gosh.
This is this, I'm gonna get to this issue in a minute.
Um, it was one Fox News piece that actually had a different headline.
Don't be fooled, Mam Dani isn't the future of the Democratic Party.
And it goes on to name uh two, but these two patriotic women are.
And anyway, I I I just find it the two candidates are Mickey Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger.
They're a real, they are authentic.
And um, if if you really believe that there's any Democrat that you don't know of that is going to emerge as the leader, I let me show me the money.
Let's see what they can do.
Let's see if they can build a constituency.
Because that's part of it.
You did have one New York lawmaker sounding the alarm on the devastating impact of a Mam Dani victory.
You have Republican New York State Senator Bill Weber saying it would be a disaster.
It said it could be chaos, and he represents New York's 38th uh state Senate district.
Bill Maher on the possibility of Mam Dani as New York uh city mayor.
We've never had one someone this radical, he said.
He's not contrived.
He's gonna be the mayor of New York.
He's arguing.
I would say if the election were held today, I mean, maybe a lot can happen.
He said there's a lot of opposition to Mamdani because we've never had someone this radical.
Some of the things he says, he quotes Marxists, and according to their need to each, according to their need from each, according to their ability.
Even he recognized it as straight up Marxism communism.
And you know, never mind the fact about this guy is obsessed with Israel.
He is obsessed.
And he remains silent on the issue of being called a communist.
He doesn't seem to care.
Um there was one alarming article that I saw over the weekend, and it said Jewish New Yorkers support Zoran Mamdani more than any candidate for mayor, but they strongly disagree about how he would shape their future.
He's pulling the largest percentage of the Jewish vote according to this poll, 37%, Mayor Adams, 25%, Cuomo 21%, Curtis Lewa, 14%.
And this is the guy that won't condemn the the call for a global antifada.
I'm like, okay, I'm trying to understand what's going on here, but um that is your that is your modern radicalized democratic party, which kind of, you know, this whole global antifada thing comes into this point that we're making.
Um I have been paying very close attention to what I see, and we've chronicled quite often on this program as a rise in virulent hatred and anti-Semitism.
Israel, the only democracy in the region.
Israel uh the level of ignorance is breathtaking to me, but let's start at that point here.
You know, the the latest argument has been Israel is committing genocide, they're starving.
The people of Gaza, you know, over a hundred million meals have been served to the people of Gaza, and unfortunately, Hamas that the Palestinian people put in power often takes the money for food or the food for themselves and doesn't share it with the people that are in need.
Now, meanwhile, you got a story that came out this weekend.
Uh there are still hostages being held.
They showed one particular video that they released of hostage by the name of, and I'm gonna get the pronunciation wrong, it's not on purpose.
Uh Eviatar David, he's 24 years old.
He's in one of the the terror tunnels, which we have been in the last time we were in Israel, and he literally is digging his own grave.
Hamas ghouls are forcing a hostage to dig his own grave, starve from humanity, and it goes and it starts to tell it gives great detail about his story, and what really frustrates me is the lack of moral clarity that people have.
Now, it is historically this anti-Semitism has been the squad.
Historically, it's been the left.
Some people that are conservatives, and I noticed that there has been a rising chorus of so-called conservatives.
I would argue there's a there's a rising effort, I would call it of Buchananism, isolationism within the MAGA movement, which I don't which I think is completely at odds with what the Trump doctrine is.
Uh it doesn't, it's not it's it's not rising to the level of the the identity issues that the Democratic Party has, but there are people that have taken Donald Trump's view of no forever war to an ultimate extreme, and they've interpreted it to mean never use military force, but that's never been what the Trump doctrine is all about.
Yes, he believes in no forever wars that we should be involved in, and I agree with him.
I don't want to get dragged into a forever war.
I don't think we could ever go back.
I've said this many, many times and ever fight a war like we did in Iraq.
We can't have our our national treasure going door to door, knocking on doors and stepping over IEDs without up armored Humvees and risking their lives and having their legs blown off.
That's not how modern war warfare is going to be fought.
And I've said that's why we need the next generation of weaponry.
That's why we need missile defense.
That's why we need the Golden Dome.
Uh, that's why we've got to invest in all of these things.
And it's all going to come down to technology.
I think we've fallen behind.
But future wars, I've often said are going to be fought in air conditioned offices.
Well, what frustrates me, and I don't care if you're on the left, the squad, I don't care who you might happen to be, uh, or it, you know, you you Donald Trump has never been this isolationist.
No forever war is not isolationism.
If he was an isolationist, he never would have taken out Solomonni.
If he was an isolationist, he never would have taken out Baghdadi.
If he was an isolationist, he would not have defeated the ISIS caliphate.
If he was an isolationist, he wouldn't have dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan.
If he was an isolationist, he wouldn't have taken out Iran's nuclear sites.
And some of the people say, no, we've got to be focused on America.
Well, well, we are focused on America, and the thought that one day radical Islamic mullahs in Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror that have threatened to wipe Israel and America off the map, and you got an opportunity to take out their their nuclear ambition and you do it, uh that is that is long-term strategic defense thinking.
It's not that complicated.
And that brings me to the lack of moral clarity that I'm hearing from people on both sides of the aisle, more on the left than on the right, but there are some people that I think are trying to merge this kind of Buchanan isolationism mentality and somehow sell it as Donald Trump's doctrine, and it's not.
You know, Donald Trump, for example, this weekend said the fastest way to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages.
And he's saying this in light of this guy that was on the front cover of the New York Post this weekend, who is digging his own grave, who looked emaciated, very similar to sites that we we have seen over the years historically of people that were in the in the Holocaust.
I mean, he's been that that deprived.
Now, I'm not sure where the lack of moral clarity is among some, but let me set this straight for you.
You know, if you look at the historic home of Israel, it is right where they are now.
Historically, that is their home.
And if you want to take it back to modern day 1948 UN partition plan, and and the next day they're attacked by their neighbors, they've been under fire ever since.
Israel's always under fire.
Anti-Semitism always raises its ugly head.
And it is ugly.
And there is a la a lack of moral understanding and clarity, which when I hear from conservatives, I find it more particularly disturbing, especially those people that claim that they're Trump supporters and they don't even understand the Trump doctrine, or they just don't adhere to it, or they come up with their own version of it and they sell it to people that's false.
And the idea that Israel is at fault here is never been more false.
I've been there enough.
I have I have been inside these terror tunnels.
Let me give you an example.
If Israel is committing genocide, how come their population in Palestine?
How come that population has nearly doubled in the last 25 years?
I mean, think about this.
New York Post noted this today.
The Palestinian population has actually grown over the decades since Israel has supposedly been targeting them for genocide.
It turns out not only is the post correct, they're actually understating the population explosion that Palestinians have enjoyed.
You know, if if you want to end why is all of this money that Israel, the United States, and the world given to the people of Gaza and Hamas, why did they use it to build out a network of terror tunnels?
I've been in them.
They're sophisticated engineered tunnels with electricity that the United States and Israel paid for and a rail system that is second to none so that they can kill Israelis.
Why weren't they building roads and schools and hospitals and building a better way of life for the people in Gaza?
And that you could say the same thing to the north and Lebanon and other places.
You know, why is it that people don't understand or have the moral clarity to understand that on October 7th, 40,000, if you extrapolate out the population of Israel and the percentage of the population that were killed that day, that would be like 40,000 Americans dead in a day.
On September 11th, we lost 2,977.
What part of murdering nearly what would it be 40,000 Americans in a day and rape and torture and kidnapping and beheading?
Do these people not understand?
And if America doesn't stand with moral clarity on issues involving, you know, human desecration like this, then what do we stand for?
I'm not an isolationist.
I'm not a forever war guy either.
You can be both, they're not mutually exclusive.
800, 941, Sean is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
I'm sure where the time goes.
We're going to check in with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina today.
We'll talk to him about all the latest developments, deep state developments and the declassified information.
Also, labor secretary, I'm sorry, agricultural secretary Brooke Rollins on how to keep Americans working and high-paying jobs.
Solid as a rock, honest, truthful.
This is the Sean Hannity show.
25 to the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
You know, we're just talking about, you know, what Israel has been through.
And I listened to people that clearly have zero moral clarity.
All of the pain, all of the suffering on both sides has happened because of Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, Hamas, and their unrelenting.
I've been to Israel so many times.
Tens and tens and tens and tens and tens of thousands of rockets fired into Israel.
And but for the Iron Dome, Israel would would not exist as a country.
You think back in the day when when Ronald Reagan first proposed strategic defense, they mocked it and call it called it Star Wars.
And it's funny because they the images, the legacy media would show was very, very similar to what we see happening in real life.
I think if Donald Trump gets his golden dome accomplished, it may go down in history as one of his greatest accomplishments, maybe long after we're gone.
Because it may save millions of lives.
And the fact that people don't understand, you know, all of the monies that have been spent on these sophisticated terror tunnels, educate yourself.
I've been in them.
There are so numerous.
It's like a whole underground world that they've built out just to commit acts of terror against the Jewish people.
You know, go to border towns like I've been to, like Starot.
You know, go to the police station in that town.
Look at the 10,000 rockets that have been fired into one border city, one in in a in a 10-year period of time, not even leading up to the most recent hostilities.
You know, go to the the underground bunker playgrounds that kids play in and take a look because it only takes about twelve seconds from the time a missile is fired till it lands and can create such destruction.
You can see how the the sophisticated level the the rockets have taken on over the years they've gotten larger and more lethal and and then people want to blame Israel.
Over a hundred million meals have been served to people in Gaza.
That's not the answer to the problem.
You know they're the ones that attacked Israel.
They're the ones that built the terror tunnel network.
They're the ones that are the proxies for Iran.
They're the ones responsible for the murder the rape the kidnapping the torture and the beheading and if and I I don't even have any desire to argue with people that don't have the moral basic clarity because it's so fundamental it's not even an issue that is in dispute or in at all debatable if you care about truth and you care about facts.
And the reality is you know the Palestinians historically they have no problem firing missiles into Israel and doing it right from hospitals and where schools are, knowing that the Israelis care about human life put a value on human life so they're not going to target them back.
And that has been that has been the game that they have played for far too long.
You know if you really care about helping the people in Gaza and and the president and his Middle East envoy Steve Wick both think they have a plan and I'm all for feeding hungry people I don't want anybody to starve.
I hate to see any anybody but nobody seemed to pay attention to the fact that they're not releasing the hostages even to this late hour October 7th, 2023 people have been held hostage.
You should see the should have seen the picture we should put should put it onity.com and social media of this guy that was digging his own grave inside one of the terror tunnels and how emaciated he is because he's not being fed either and and all of the you know if if all the money weren't spent on rockets and underground tunnel networks of terror and if they weren't spent on on
basically building the weaponry of war and as stolen by a terrorist organization whose very charter calls for the destruction of Israel, you know, maybe you'd have the moral clarity Israel wants to live in peace.
Israel can't live in peace as long as they keep firing rockets into their country and you know is there a long term answer?
I hope so.
People of Israel have suffered.
That's why we have proudly partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Your aid, your support.
I mean, you've got entire neighborhoods that have been bombed out.
Families torn apart.
Kids can't play outside.
Violence may have slowed.
But, you know, at any moment, you ask Israelis, they're expecting the worst.
They're providing all the humanitarian assistance that they possibly can because of your generosity.
That includes food and water and medicines and clothing and shelter.
They're also providing, you know, safe havens for people.
people if God forbid the next attack comes the building out bomb shelters anyway whatever you can do to help the IFCJ in this effort is desperately needed.
You have so many Israelis that are that can't go back to their homes.
Their homes are gone or or it's just not safe for them to go back.
But in most cases their homes are gone.
They've been bombed out anyway go to the IF go to their website the IFCJ.org IFCJ dot org today.
A lot was made over the weekend over Democrats being up in arms they're angry they're always angry but they're angry that Donald Trump and he made the decision to fire the labor department status statistics chief who reported Friday that only 73,000
jobs were created, which by the way is at odds with the independent group ADP, et cetera, et cetera, but putting all that aside and revise the job numbers dramatically downward for the prior three months.
And what most people in the legacy media mob and Democrats are ignoring is that this same official appointed by Joe Biden reported nothing but inflated job numbers almost every single month last year, which made it seem like the economy was healthy when it wasn't.
Then exactly one month after Biden dropped out of the race, this same individual came clean and admitted that more than 800,000 of the jobs she reported never existed.
Now, whether deliberate fraud, staggering incompetence, does it even matter?
What does matter is that that this individual needed to go, and that's why Donald Trump fired her.
Political numbers.
The AP covered the bombshell news last August 21st that the Biden labor department had been inflating their unemployment numbers with hundreds of thousands of jobs that vanished.
I'll read from the AP.
U.S. economy added eight hundred and eighteen thousand fewer jobs from April of twenty-three through March this year, meaning twenty-four, than were originally reported according to the government.
The revised total adds to evidence that the job market has been steadily slowing and likely reinforces the Federal Reserve's plan to start cutting interest rates soon.
Now the downgraded estimate follows a jobs report for July that was much worse than expected, leading many economists to suggest that the Fed had waited too long to begin cutting interest rates to support the economy.
The unemployment rate rose, and the revised hiring estimates released Wednesday, are intended to be to better account for companies that are either being created or going out of business.
we're about to have an economic boom the likes of which we've not seen probably in our lifetimes and may never see again
15 trillion dollars 12 to 15 trillion in committed investments in manufacturing that's manufacturing for rare earths that's manufacturing for semiconductors that's manufacturing uh for automobiles that's manufacturing um for you know other vital services and things that we need...
Pharmaceuticals, things that we'd never been that we gave up hope a long time ago.
Remember Obama had said that.
Another issue, and Governor Abbott will join us on TV tonight.
Governor Abbinett threatening to arrest and expel Texas House Democrats, they fled the state because they don't want to vote a redistricting vote.
And anyway, they arrived in Chicago Sunday night to stall the vote.
Abbott said rather than doing their job voting on urgent legislation, impacting the lives of all Texans, they have fled Texas to deprive the House of a Quorum necessary to meet and conduct business.
Democrats at the state level have been the biggest advocates of quote independent redistricting commissions to draw, quote, fair maps.
However, in every blue state, they always end up favoring the Democrats.
Every single one.
New York, for example, independent commission designed to deadlock, which allows the Democratic dominated state legislature to take over and draw the maps of their choice.
California, our old friend Gavin Newsom, now openly promising to further gerrymander his state, despite having an independent redistricting commission in place as well.
Democrats have gotten away with extreme gerrymandering in their states that they control nationwide in 24 Republicans won the overall House by more than two points, but they lost two seats.
In California, Republicans won 39% of the vote, but they have just 17% of the seats, and they lost three.
And Connecticut Republicans won 40% of the House vote, but zero seats.
In Illinois, has perhaps the most gerrymandered map in the nation.
In 2024, Republicans won 47% of the statewide House vote.
They only have 18% of the seats.
Maryland, one of the bluest states in the country, 2024, 35% of uh statewide House vote.
Just a single House seat, 12%.
Massachusetts, another outrageous example.
Trump won 36% of the vote.
Republicans won zero House seats, and there were zero Republican candidates for the House last year in the whole state because they realize it's it's fruitless.
Nevada, possibly worse.
Republicans won the statewide House vote by 10 points, walked away with one single House seat.
New Jersey.
Harris wins by six points, only six points.
Republicans got 45% of the House vote, walked away with 27% of the House representation.
Same thing in New Mexico, same thing in New York, same thing in Oregon, same thing in Washington.
And if you look how they do it, they think they're smart and sophisticated and they've gotten away with it.
And now Republicans are saying, OK, we'll play by the same rules, which is what they should be saying.
I still can't believe this latest poll touting Zoran Mamdani's campaign leading with Jewish voters by a landslide.
I mean, What part of him not condemning the call for global antifada are New York Jewish voters missing?
Do you condemn that phrase globalize the intifada?
That's not language that I use.
Do you condemn that phase?
Globalize the intifada, which a lot of people hear is a call to violence against Jews.
I've heard from many Jewish New Yorkers who have shared their concerns with me.
quickly for the people who care about the language and who feel really concerned by that phrase, why not just condemn it?
My concern is to start to walk down the line of language and making clear what language I believe is permissible or impermissible, takes me into a place similar to that of the president who is looking to do those very kinds of things.
The call for holy war.
And he won't condemn it.
It's as easy as answering a simple question, are you a racist?
You know, it's it's something that's pure evil.
But I'm uh, you know, this this open anti-Semitism, lack of moral clarity is disturbing.
It's not only in the halls of Congress, college campuses.
Um it just seems to worldwide you see its growth, and it's not very hard to figure out the conflict in Israel.
It really isn't.
The Office of Special Counsel has now launched an investigation into Jack Smith, the former special counsel who investigated Donald Trump before he returned to office for alleged illegal political activity.
Independent federal agency confirmed that it has launched an investigation into Smith for potential violations of the Hatch Act, which is a federal law that limits certain political activities of federal employees.
This would probably, if I had to guess, be proven if there's coordination with Democrats in terms of actions that were taken by Mr. Smith.
Uh Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas called for an investigation in this case.
Office of Special Counsel confirmed it was looking into the potential.
New York Post said it was it has an email from the senior counsel at the Office of Special Counsel saying they're reviewing it.
Well, I guess the tables have quite turned here.
Uh and let's see what happens.
Let's see how they like being investigated.
And all of this now is beginning to come to a head.
All of these people that have abused their power, all of the people that lied about Russia.
You'll tell you who's not being held accountable yet, is the state-run legacy media mob.
We got a cut here.
Let me play it real quick.
And that is all the officials that signed, for example, the dirty Russian disinformation Hillary Clinton bought and paid for dossier, listen to them finally admit uh that they wouldn't have signed the Pfizer warrant, knowing what we know now, after they knew ahead of time.
Listen.
If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application in June of 2017 against Carter Page?
Uh no, sir.
If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application?
No, I would not.
Well, I believe you didn't know that what you signed was wrong.
The question is, if you had known, you wouldn't have signed it.
Is that correct?
No.
If I had known that it contained incorrect information, I certainly wouldn't have signed it.
Knowing then what you know now about all the things that we've come to find, would you have still signed the warrant application against Carter Page in October, January, and April?
No, I would want a much more complete understanding of what we were.
Thank you very much.
So that's everybody that signed it.
Andrew McKay, Brad Rosenstein, Sally Yates, James Comey.
Here's the problem.
They were warned not to sign it before the first one was signed by Bruce Orr in August of 2016.
