Well, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be fired.
Highland of jail.
And if you want a little bang and you come along.
And it is a big day.
I think either way, it's a big day, but if we get this solved, it's a really big day because we're going to save a lot of lives.
Do you then decide, okay, we're going to use mustard gas and civilians?
What Trump ordered Abbott to do in Texas is mustard gas on our democracy.
And the perception of this pres of the Biden presidency is just a weak and ineffective presidency.
But the fact of the matter is his legacy is Donald Trump came back.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming to your centi.
We are guitar and saying you conscious.
Sean Hannity.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
It's 800-941 Sean if you'd like to join us.
We expect sometime, maybe towards the last hour of the program today, we're gonna we will check in with Leo 2.0 Torrell.
He will be with the president as he goes out with the Metropolitan Police Department in DC as well as Pam Bondi, the attorney general, to look at their success.
As the Attorney General touting 77 more arrests in the federal takeover and the use of the National Guard.
I'll play tape later of people in DC being thankful that there's law and order and safety and security.
You know, one of the biggest, biggest political, you know, miscalculations of all time is this idiocy of defund dismantle and no bail laws.
Um, you know, if you look at where DC is, now there's a couple of things here.
Even though we have by far of every country in the world, we have the number one homicide capital in the entire world.
In other words, our nation's capital has 44 homicides per 100,000 people.
That does not factor in the fact that DC police have been purposely cooking the books and misclassifying deaths as quote accidental uh to drive murder numbers down so they look better.
They don't look as bad as they really are.
Uh I told you a little bit about a story yesterday, and this was in the Washington Free Beacon, a veteran Metropolitan Police Department officer now alleging in an ongoing lawsuit that law enforcement officials in DC, you know, were ordered to misclassify apparent obvious murders in an effort to artificially deflate the district's homicide numbers.
We're the number one homicide capital in the entire world.
Baghdad is safer.
Do I need to say anything else?
Anyway, the Washington Free Beacons report presenting a danger to public safety by allowing murderers to remain on the street.
Metropolitan Police Department sergeant Carlos Bundy, who has served in the department 28 years and was in the Metropolitan Police Department's homicide unit from 2010 to 2018, alleging that the police mis uh management had purposely been mischaracterizing the deaths as something other than a homicide to keep the DC homicide numbers down.
So even though we're still number one by almost three times the next closest country, they still do this.
Now the president's gonna go out with Pam, well we'll have full coverage.
Pam Bondi will be on TV tonight.
Uh Leo Torrell will give us a preview just before they go out uh this afternoon.
Uh we don't do know the UK Guardian pointing out, you know, we saw this video, J.D. Vance, Pete Heggseth, Stephen Miller, you know, getting booed at Union Station by people supposedly protesting Donald Trump's crime crackdown in DC.
And that's all the liberal media wants to run.
Why do you think, and we'll play this montage later.
Why do you think this is a winning political issue?
If you look at every single major Issue that we have as a country before us.
Law and order and safety and security are fundamental and basic.
Most Americans, they don't mind legal immigration.
They do mind illegal immigration.
They do want people entering our country to be vetted.
We need to know that we don't have known terrorists and murderers and rapists and cartel members and gang members coming in.
You know, we don't need any more Americans murdered and raped and victims of violent crime.
But Democrats, they think defund, dismantle, no bail laws work.
They want to run on that.
Gavanuson, run away.
You know, you have a great time.
You want to be the sanctuary state of California that gives commercial drivers licenses to this guy that that killed these three people in my free state of Florida.
Well, innocent people are dying.
They don't even keep statistics.
We'll get into Gavin later in the program.
They don't even keep statistics in California because it is a sanctuary state of the crimes committed by illegal immigrants.
By the way, the DC police union chief has a you know, he he's admitting the officers are manipulating the data.
I mean, it really doesn't get any worse than that.
It's uh just outright lying.
Rather than doing the smart thing, which would be to fix fix things for people, but be it open borders, that's the Democratic Party.
The party defund, dismantle no bet, that's the Democratic Party.
Championing men's rights to play women's sports, that that's the Democratic Party.
They had an opportunity to vote for the largest tax cut in history.
No, they voted for the largest tax increase in history.
They had a chance to cut taxes for working men and women, no tax on tips over time, and to protect old people, Social Security, no taxes there.
No, they voted against that.
They don't want energy dominance, they want the Green New Deal.
And now they're ow their loudest spokespeople are radical Marxists.
What do you think the Green New Deal is?
Is Marxism?
It's no different than what Mom Mam Dani is advocating in New York.
Uh now we have so anyway, the president will go out and he will patrol with Metropolitan Police Department cops.
Washington, DC's homicide rate has nearly doubled since 2012.
Even NPR reported that.
And if NPR is reporting it, you know it's bad.
It's really bad.
James Comer, who will be on Hannity tonight, we've got a lot of breaking news here.
I've gotten a heads up that James Comer interviewed Ian Sams today.
And we will get into this issue.
We'll delve into it more deeply later in the program.
But what he said is that it was the most informative interview in his probe so far as it relates to Joe's cognitive decline, who knew what and when.
And also it raises the issue.
And we have an expert, Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, will join us as well.
It also raises the validity issue as it relates to the auto pen.
And what we're learning is what we're learning from Comer that Ian Sams only saw Joe Biden two times.
This is a guy who was all over TV saying everybody's a conspiracy theorist.
If you had eyes to see and you saw Joe Biden speak or walk or talk, the rare moments we saw him, you knew it was a disaster.
Anyway, so what Comer said, you know, I think one of the most shocking things to me is he communicated with Joe Biden two times.
He saw Biden talk to him two times the entire stint as White House spokesperson.
But yet he would every single day tweet and issue statements from the podium of the White House.
Now we're also learning that the associate deputy attorney general for Joe Biden, Bradley Weishheimer, criticized highly problematic language used in a single warrant signed by an auto pen that pardoned hundreds of criminals.
In the final days of the Biden administration, he sent the email two days before Biden was leaving office on January 18th.
And this is the number two guy.
This is Merrick Garland's right hand man.
Writing to top Biden administration attorneys two days before Biden leaves office saying the wording of the pardoned offenses was too vague, could render the communication of the commutations and pardons ineffective.
We've been saying it's invalid.
The lack of specificity could also result in commutations in circumstances, including crimes for violence that was not intended.
He gave them very specific.
He said there's no clear direction from the president, meaning Joe Biden, two days before he left, meaning to the language for the offenses described to the Department of Justice.
Ideally, this would be a list as to each inmate, listing the offenses that are covered by commutation.
By far, this is the clearest, least problematic alternative.
Given the above, I think the best we receive a statement of direction from the president as to the meaning of the warrant language.
Because no offensive offenses have been described to the Department of Justice from the President.
The commutations he says do not take effect.
His number two at his own Justice Department saying all this.
Pretty spectacular.
Now, we have other big news to share with you today.
And again, later, we have a lot of information as it relates to James Comey from John Solomon today.
He believes he has smoking gun evidence as it relates to whether or not James Comey ordered his top lieutenants to leak classified information to reporters to hurt Donald Trump.
We'll find out what that information may be in a bombshell report coming from John Solomon, and his sources are usually impeccable.
Um but the major, major win for the president today, and that is when a New York appeals court threw out this ridiculous, insane, massive $500 million fine.
This was the Letitia James case and the quote, business fraud case.
Remember, you know, the whole accusation was centered around loans and information giving to lending institutions.
Every institution got their money back.
Every institution was happy.
Not one of them ever complained.
This is where the judge Erdogan, you know, stuck by a ridiculous insane valuation of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million.
It's a billion dollar plus property.
If you don't believe me, compare it to other Palm Beach, Florida properties, and you'll see for yourself, you don't have to be a real estate genius to figure it out.
And the it was a very damning um injunctive.
Anyway, while injunctive relief ordered by the court is well crafted to curb defendants' business culture, the court's uh disgorgement order, which directs the defendants pay nearly a half a billion dollars to the state of New York is an excessive fine.
It violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States.
In the main opinion by the main judges in this case, the five judge panel kept in place uh uh a ban on Trump and his two oldest sons from running a company in New York for several years, which I think is complete and total BS.
Um, but you know, if you read one of the judges in the final page of this, I found it very, very interesting here.
You know, the Supreme Court's sanctioning of defense counsel essentially playing the role that they're supposed to play in our adversarial judicial system raising serious doubts about the trial court's objectivity and impartiality in presiding over and adjudicating this action from their writings.
It appears that Justice Moulton and Justice Higgett, I don't know how you pronounce his name, tacitly share that this concern.
Another example of the trial court's troubling attitude towards this case was the manner in which it treated defendants' experts at trial, defendants submitted testimony by twelve highly qualified experts in relevant fields in its post-trial decision.
Supreme Court ignored 10 of the experts and summarily dismissed the two remaining, accusing one of them of offering unsubstantiated dreams and the other of giving testimony ensconced in numerous lines of academic jargon.
It is a beatdown of all beatdowns.
I am troubled that my colleagues are affirming Supreme Court's liability finding, notwithstanding that three of the five members of this panel believe that the judgment should be vacated, as the attorney general has not yet proven her case.
Nonetheless, what emerges from this court's vacating the $500 million disgorgement award with which I concur is the frustration of what appears to me to have been the attorney general's true aim in bringing this action.
Plain plainly, her ultimate goal was not market hygiene, as poised by Justice Moulton, but political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump's political career and the destruction of his real estate business.
The voters have obviously rendered a verdict on his political career.
this bench today unanimously derails the effort to destroy his business for all the foregoing reasons i would reverse the judgment dismiss the complaint accordingly while i join in vacating the disgorgement award and imposition of sanctions of the defense council i respectfully dissent to the extent that you know affirms this judgment i mean i I've never seen language like this.
I have a friend of mine who's a judge in New York.
He goes, he just sent it to me.
He goes, Did you see this?
And I'm like, wow.
You don't get that kind of language.
This is a major victory for President Trump.
But this is all of this, all from 2020 to 2024, it was all about muddying up, bloodying up Trump, so he was not, he would be rendered incapable of ever winning the presidency.
That in and of itself, I would argue, is election interference.
The FBI director, Cash Patel, by the way, determined that Biden's FBI Mar-a-Lago raid was illegal and had no constitutional basis and no lawful predicate.
We'll get to that.
I'm gonna do my very best, my level best here, to explain how we have had weaponization against Donald Trump on a level that I don't think is ever happened in the history of this country, which is a clear and present danger and a threat to the preservation of liberty and the preservation of our republic.
And it all started even before the 2016 election, as we are now learning.
And you know, we're gonna learn a lot more from John Solomon today about James Comey.
But with this court decision today, that that was the culmination.
But it impacts before the 2016 election, the classified documents of Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe, and what we're learning from what deep state actors, even up to Obama were involved in, what Hillary Clinton was involved in, what the deep state FBI was involved in in the lead up to the 2020 election, pre-bunking the very real laptop.
They had authenticated the authenticity they did render it an authentic laptop.
They knew it was going to be leaked, they pre-bunked it, and then the law fair for four years to bloody up Trump so he wouldn't be a viable candidate.
All right, I'm gonna try and put this all together.
Knowing that we have other news coming today.
We have the major legal victory and the appeals court tossing out this insane half a billion dollar judgment uh that quote was won by disgraced attorney general in New York, Letitia James, who now has her own issues involving mortgages, just like uh Adam Schiff, the congenital liar.
How ironic.
You know, it's amazing that the people responsible.
Uh that's part of the news today.
And it is a major victory.
A 323-page decision, including three separate opinions, all agreeing the fine against Donald Trump, which, you know, with interest has gone up to 515 million dollars, obviously excessive.
And that was all part of a strategy from 20 to 2024 legal strategy that was designed to bloody up Donald Trump and make it impossible for him to ever be president again.
And this is part of a pattern.
This is where the investigation of Cash Patel, the FBI director, is so critical right now.
By the way, the president celebrated this massive legal victory over fake New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
Remember, Alan Derschwitz wrote a book, Get Trump.
We have Letitia James running as a candidate, saying she's going after one man, Donald Trump, one family.
I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president.
What our fundamental rights are at stake.
I believe that the president of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses.
Oh, we're going to do a real pay with I know my name personally.
That man in the White House.
Who can't go a day without threatening our fundamental rights?
Yes, we need to focus on Donald Trump and his abuses.
We need to follow his money.
We need to find out where he's laundered money.
We need to find out whether or not he's engaged in conspiracy.
It's important that everyone understand that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.
I've requires to going into the office of attorney general every day.
Defending your rights, and then going home.
And that's what she did.
I'm going to work with my way backwards to see if I can make it more understandable for everybody.
So every single instance that you saw from 2020 to 2024 through the election, all of it was designed by people that wanted to render Donald Trump incapable of running for president.
They're all now being investigated.
The FBI director, Cash Patel, is investigating what he calls a grand conspiracy that this has gone on for years, and there have been a number of actors involved in this, and it now goes through three presidential cycles, which I'll explain.
And the president did respond to this, said this is a total victory in the fake New York State Attorney General Letitia James case.
The judge in this case, Judge Erdogan, was nothing but an absolute disgrace.
He's the judge that stood by the ridiculous valuation of Mar-a-Lago, as I've been telling you.
The president said I greatly respect the fact that the court had the courage to throw out this unlawful, disgraceful decision that was hurting businesses all throughout New York State.
Others are afraid to do business there.
The amount, including interest and penalties, was over $150 million.
It was a political witch hunt in a business sense and the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
This was a case of election interference by the city and the state trying to show illegally that I did things that were wrong when in fact everything I did was absolutely correct and perfect.
Every single dollar was thrown out.
Now, you know, the case centered around, you know, issues involving loans that the president's company took out that were all repaid.
None.
The only one that wanted to go after was the attorney general who made a campaign promise to do so.
As did the DA, the local DA, Alvin Bragg.
And in that particular case, Alvin Bragg, you know, took what was a legal non-disclosure agreement, which I'm sure his own office probably has dozens, if not hundreds of them.
Uh, if you go back in the archives and and we ever had the opportunity to look into them.
Whole purpose of a non-disclosure is you don't disclose it.
But in Donald Trump's case, it was a legal non-disclosure.
It was labeled a legal uh expense, and and a lawyer was paid money for the legal effort.
That's it.
The statute of limitations had run out.
It was a misdemeanor in New York City.
It was not a felony.
So they, you know, resuscitate that case and turn it into 34 felony counts, all in an effort to stop and destroy Donald J. Trump.
And then you had, again, I'm working my way backwards a little bit.
If you look at, you know, Hillary Clinton, top secret, classified information on her servers.
She destroyed the servers with Bleach Fit.
She acid washed them cleaned.
Nobody had ever heard of Bleach Pit before.
Then devices we find out were destroyed with hammers and SIM cards removed from cell phones.
Now we hear from the FBI director today, Cash Patel, who's doing the grand conspiracy.
And what he's determined is that the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago was in fact illegal.
He said there was no constitutional basis, no lawful predicate, predicate for the president's DOJ, President Biden's DOJ, and FBI to carry out their August 8th, 2022 raid on President Trump's private residence at Mar-a-Lago.
They never rated Hillary.
Hillary had she didn't have the presidential records act like Donald Trump did behind her.
They never raided her home, her business.
Joe Biden.
They had four separate locations, top secret classified information.
Didn't rate his either.
Patel was on with my colleague and friend Larry Cudlow.
He said it was a total weaponization and politicizing of the FBI and the DOJ that led to the invasion of Donald Trump's private home.
When asked why Mr. Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence was raided, FBI director Patel alleged the Biden Justice Department had created a crime where one did not exist.
Quote, Patel, it was made up.
It was completely false, completely unconstitutional, pursuant to our judicial courts, he goes on.
We know there was no reason.
Now it's time for accountability.
2023 investigation.
House Judiciary Committee found the raid was planned, authorized, carried out well outside the norms of federal law enforcement.
FBI officials told the committee that their guidance that Mr. Trump first be asked to voluntarily hand over the documents was ignored.
Now remember, the FBI had been there on a prior occasion in the very room where the documents were.
They were in there, and they even called back and asked for an extra lock to be put on that room.
And the president complied.
Nobody was ever going to stop the FBI from coming in or stop them from taking anything out of Mar-a-Lago at the time.
You know, top Justice Department prosecutor is hinting that New York Attorney General, Letitia James, could avoid prosecution on her own mortgage fraud charges.
I mean, she's got these issues just as they do.
But everything from the raid at Mar-a-Lago, everything with Letisha James, everything with Alvin Bragg, everything post-2020 election, everything with Jack Smith, all of it combined, was designed to render Donald Trump incapable of ever running for president and winning the presidency again.
Is that part of a grand conspiracy?
Let's work backwards.
Let's go to 2020, shall we?
Because we had Joe Biden running for president.
And we had zero experience Hunter and zero experience hunter, you know, was getting millions of dollars.
Goes on Good Morning America.
You haven't experienced in energy?
No.
Oil, no.
Gas, no.
Ukraine, no.
Why is he getting paid millions of dollars?
Because maybe Pops is his father?
Maybe his vice president is his dad.
His father that said you're not getting the billion dollars.
You're not getting it unless you fire a prosecutor in Ukraine.
You got to be kidding me.
That's not corruption.
Now, they knew on the laptop, the FBI got a copy of it from this John Paul Mack, this repair shop guy, who was a very nice man whose life was ruined by all this.
And the FBI, in fact, verified the authenticity of the laptop in March of 2020.
What did the FBI do?
The FBI knew Bob Costello, Rudy Giuliani's then attorney had a copy of the laptop.
They knew that laptop was going to leak.
They knew what was on that laptop.
Porn, drug use, you know, information.
I give half my income to Pops.
Uh, I got to pay what got account should I pay Pops for his home repairs in this case and that case.
And they knew all of this information would be devastating to Joe Biden.
So what did the FBI do at the time?
They went out and they met weekly with big tech corporations weekly in the summer leading into the fall election.
And they warned these big tech companies that they may be victims of a Russian disinformation campaign.
And it may be about Hunter or Joe Biden or about Barisma.
Anyway, sure enough, the New York Post breaks the story.
The very same social media companies that were visited weekly by the FBI.
Uh call up like people like Mark Zuckerberg.
I give him credit for calling.
I give Jack Dorsey a Twitter at the time.
I give him credit for calling.
Is this what you are warning us about, or is it true?
Or is it false?
You know, or is the laptop real?
They they knew they verified the authenticity.
They wouldn't tell them.
Because they knew if that story was validated just weeks before the election in 2020 would likely impact the result, don't you think?
Then you go to 2016 and the declassification and all that we learned from Tulsi Gabbard.
And you look at James Comey, no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute, and the warning by Bruce Orde not to use the dirty Russian disinformation dossier.
And because it's tainted, it's political, it's bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton.
And then you look at the FISA applications, the bulk of information coming from that dirty dossier that was political in nature.
And then you realize that the FBI knew in 20, you know, in December, the F the senior intelligence officials determined after the 2016 election, they determined that there was no Trump Russia collusion.
Senior career intelligence professionals.
Well, that wasn't acceptable to the likes of Barack Obama, according to Tulsi Gabbard.
That wasn't acceptable to the deep state actors, political actors that surrounded him.
So he called for another intelligence assessment that absolutely contradicted the real intelligence assessment.
And then where first they were using this Russian disinformation, which they were warned not to use to impact the election and make it seem like Trump was connected to Putin when he wasn't.
Then when it didn't work out that way, and senior career intelligence officials confirm that, then they rewrite the intelligence assessment in the hopes that they can bloody up Donald Trump some more and sabotage the incoming president.
These people, is that part of a grand conspiracy?
Because that's what's being investigated.
And on top of that, we'll have other news at the top of the hour about how Joe Biden, how everybody knew he was a cognitive mess, and that these last minute commutations and pardons may be invalid.
We got a lot of news to cover today.
And the president will be out with Pam Bondy, Leo 2.0 Terrell.
Leo will join us later in the show, Pam Bondi tonight.
We got a great Hannity, nine Eastern tonight.
We'll tell you about that in a minute.
Jay, final days of his administration warning against auto pen clemency awards.
Yeah, even they thought it was wouldn't be valid.
We'll get into that.
Also, John Solomon breaking news on James Comey.
We'll hit that.
Leo Torrell is going to be on the streets of Washington, D.C. with the president.
We'll get a preview.
Senator Tom Cotton on all of the issues involving was there a grand conspiracy in light of the new developments.
And of course, the big win against Letitia James in New York for President Trump.
That and much more coming up on this edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
