Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour, toll-free.
Our number is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
For years, we have had some really a small number of congressmen and women that have been willing to do the deep dive investigative work of understanding the influence of deep state operatives and the impact that they have had on presidential elections and also a deep dive in terms of Joe Biden, his cognitive state.
Who knew what and when?
Did he himself personally sign off on and authorize every commutation, every pardon?
There has been one committee that has dug deep into Burisma, which is zero experience Hunter.
He goes on, good morning, America.
Have any experience in energy?
No.
Oil, no.
Gas, no.
Ukraine, no.
China, no.
No experience at all whatsoever.
Then why is he getting paid millions and millions of dollars?
There's no earthly explanation for it.
And then it gets into the whole issue of, okay, was this information purposely hidden from you, the American people, in the lead up to elections.
For example, we know that John Brennan warned Barack Obama, warned the administration at the time that Hillary Clinton had hatched a plan about a Russia-Russia-Russia connection with Donald Trump that didn't exist, but yet they let it go forward.
We know that James Comey knew that she had top secret classified information, way more than what they found at Mar-a-Lago on her servers, and bleach bit, which basically is acid washing the servers took place, and hard drives were destroyed with hammers and SIM cards were removed.
That sounds like a cover-up where I come from.
And then, of course, we learned from Tulsi Gabbard after all of this, you know, putting cinder blocks before an election on the scales of an election and then using the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier to issue not one but four FISA applications over the course of a year, not only destroying Carter Page's life, but also giving a backdoor to spy on the Trump campaign transition team and Trump presidency.
And then after, now we know from declassified information from Tulsi Gabbard that, in fact, the career senior intelligence officials that examined the 2016 election found no evidence at all whatsoever that in fact, and I played this yesterday, that in fact Donald Trump knew anything, had any connection, or that the Russians in any way were trying to help Donald Trump.
Quite frankly, the opposite.
They had damning information on Hillary Clinton that they were holding back because they were assuming that Hillary Clinton was going to win that election.
So, and then what happens?
Then Barack Obama, according to Tulsi's press conference, and we played it yesterday, you know, goes out there and he's telling his top political appointees, the deep state figures, Brennan Clapper, Comey, others, you know, to come up with a new intelligence assessment.
And that's sabotaging Donald Trump as he's going into the White House and trying to serve the American people, a duly elected president.
Then on the issue of Hunter Biden's laptop, we know that the FBI verified its authenticity in March of 2020.
And then they went out of their way to pre-bunk that laptop, knowing it would be so damning to any reelection campaign or any election campaign as it relates to Joe Biden.
And sure enough, they're meeting with big tech companies weekly throughout the entire summer.
They knew Rudy Giuliani's then attorney, Bob Costello, had a copy of that laptop.
They knew that laptop would be made public.
Sure enough, it drops in the New York Post in October of 2020.
And then when those big tech companies that had been warned they may be victims of Russian disinformation asked the FBI whether or not this is authentic and real and true, the FBI that had verified its authenticity would not answer them.
And therefore, that story got suppressed.
But the person that's been at the forefront of all these investigations is James Comer.
He's with the House Oversight Committee.
Thank you, sir, for your hard work and all that you've been doing.
I know that I'm throwing a lot at you here, but I want to go over each investigation and try to get to the bottom of it.
Cash Patel, the FBI director, has now opened up what is a grand conspiracy investigation.
And in that investigation, you know, was there a grand conspiracy on three separate elections to sabotage Donald Trump's chances of winning?
And then when he won in 2016, was there an attempt to sabotage an incoming president, in your view, based on the evidence that you're reviewing every day?
Based on all the evidence I've seen, Sean, there was an effort by the entire deep state to first create a false narrative that President Trump's campaign was colluding with Russia.
And then once he won, to double down and triple down to try to create some kind of scandal to tie around his neck, to limit his ability to do certain things, especially foreign policy related.
Because again, the deep state, you know, a lot of their efforts and objectives pertain to foreign aid in other countries and military interventions in other countries and spending money from the military industrial complex.
And I think that Cash Patel and John Radcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard, along with the work on the House Oversight Committee and the Intel Committee when Devin Nunes was there, I mean, all of this is culminating now into where you're getting hard evidence that this was a coordinated effort.
And hopefully, with President Trump's Department of Justice, we can finally see some accountability.
Well, I hope so.
More particularly, you spent a lot of time on the issue of Hunter Biden and the monies that he was being paid by Burisma.
You talked a lot also about the WhatsApp message.
I'm sitting here with my father.
And again, remember, he said that his father had never no interest at all in his business dealings.
The laptop from hell paints a very different story because he's whining and complaining in his own words that he gives half of his income to Pops and that he pays for Pops' home repairs.
And he's talking with his financial guy about what account he's going to pay for Pops' home repairs.
And then he says, I'm sitting here with my father in between everybody he knows of my ability to hold a grudge, talking to the head of the CEFC, which is the Chinese energy conglomerate, says you're going to regret not basically not paying us the money.
What happened three days later?
He got a wire.
He got a wire within 24 hours for $100,000.
That was money.
Just look, hey, just take this and the rest is on its way.
And then in less than a week, he got a $5 million wire by which, and I'm fast forwarding here, he never paid any taxes according to the Irish Whistlebox.
Let's go back to that money.
The CEFC was a, was a, on paper, was a Chinese energy company, but it, it folded after, uh, you know, after the, not, not long after that $5 million wire, and all the assets mysteriously ended up in the possession of the Chinese Communist Party.
So I've always argued that that wasn't a Chinese energy company, that it was really just a front for the Chinese Communist Party.
And this was the money, and this is what Tony Bobolinski said under oath in a nationally televised committee hearing of the Oversight Committee, that he viewed that money as a bribe, that there was no energy deal.
So the thing that we discovered in the investigation, Sean, we've talked about it on your TV show, was that the IRS knew what the Bidens were doing.
The FBI knew what the Bidens were doing.
You had the Department of Justice knew what the Bidens were doing, but they turned a blind eye.
And anytime the investigation got close to Hunter Biden or Joe Biden, they were told to stand down by these deep state actors.
And I've always said I didn't believe they did it, that told the investigators to stand down on investigating the Bidens because they liked Joe Biden.
I always felt like they did it because they hated Donald Trump and they didn't want to do anything to help Donald Trump because Donald Trump was a threat to the deep state bureaucracy.
And I'm so hopeful now with people like Cash Patel and John Radcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard that we can finally dismantle this deep state bureaucracy that has interfered in elections.
Well, that raises another question and another investigation that you're leading, and that has to do with whether or not Joe Biden actually personally signed these commutations and these pardons.
For example, do we know if he signed his own son's pardon, his brother's pardon?
Do we know if he signed the congenital liar Adam Schiff's pardon?
We know the New York Times said that he set out standards and criteria for pardon, but nobody seems to be able to determine who gave the okay for the auto pen and whether or not Joe Biden personally signed off on every commutation and every pardon.
John Solomon reporting that, in fact, his own Justice Department said that it probably wasn't even legal.
That's my interpretation of the memo he got two days before he left office.
That's exactly right.
The Department of Justice caught when that all of these pardons had been signed, as well as the executive orders during the Langduck period, had been signed by the AutoPen.
And they were concerned that it wasn't going to hold up in a court of law because you have to sign, physically sign a legal document.
That is just, that is a standard.
And they were concerned, you know, you could probably get Bishon with using the AutoPen on one or two pardons, one or two executive orders, but he had thousands and thousands of pardons.
And you asked, did he sign his family's pardon?
He signed five of the six with the AutoPen.
The only pardon that was signed physically by Joe Biden was Hunter Biden's.
But his brothers and his sister-in-laws, they were all signed using the AutoPen, just like Adam Schiff's was and Dr. Fauci's was and Jamie Raskin and all of the scoundrels that did the January 6th committee.
All those pardons were signed using the Autopen.
And what we found in our investigation thus far, we still have three more depositions to do, but no one ever saw Joe Biden or heard Joe Biden authorize the use of the Autopen.
And 75% of the time when the AutoPen was used, Joe Biden wasn't, he was in the White House, supposedly.
Why, if he was in the White House, did you just not have him sign the document?
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with the chairman of the all-important House Government Reform and Oversight Committee.
James Comer is with us.
Then we'll get to your calls coming up straight ahead.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
All right, we continue now with Congressman James Comer.
He is now slowly being proven right every day.
He is the chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee.
You've been interviewing all these people that were in the Biden White House, those that didn't plead the fifth, and there's been a number of those.
But like, for example, your last interview that I'm aware of was with Ian Sams.
And here he is, what, a White House or State Department Communications Director only saw in person Joe Biden two times.
I mean, I was watching President Trump yesterday for three and a half hours on TV have a cabinet meeting, and he spends that much time on TV every single day.
I don't think Joe Biden can stay awake for three and a half hours.
So if that's the case, are you telling us that all of these pardons and commutations may now be invalid?
I think there's a good argument to make them invalid.
I think if you take them to court, the court will declare them null and void.
And I would strongly encourage President Trump to do that, especially these executive orders.
I know there's a lot of focus on the pardon, but these executive orders, Sean, were done during the lame duck period.
And that is the period between, of course, when Donald Trump won the election and when he was sworn into office.
That's called the lame duck period.
And usually there's not much activity there, but there was a lot of activity with respect to executive orders.
And we've always suspected that it was the staff that was Trump-proofing the next administration.
They made it harder with these executive orders to eliminate the Department of Education.
They made it harder for Trump to make the federal employees to come back to work because, you know, there's still a big percentage of them that are working from home because of COVID of all things.
So they did a lot of stuff by executive order.
There's no evidence that Joe Biden had any knowledge or ever authorized the auto-pin on those executive orders.
And usually when a president does an executive order, they do a press conference like what Trump did with his cabinet or what Trump does every day.
And Joe Biden never even issued a statement.
So I think there's a strong case, especially with this new evidence that Solomon reported, where there's an email now that his own, the Merrick Garland Department of Justice said, my God, you can't use this auto-pin on all these legal documents.
So I think that once we get these three or four more depositions in the book, give everybody their due process, I think that the evidence is pointing in the direction that Joe Biden had no knowledge of that auto-pin and how it was being used and who was pulling the strings.
I think we're getting there.
I know you've been working hard.
I know it's frustrating probably for a lot of people.
We don't get to the finish line, but I think we're getting closer every day in large part because of the hard work you're doing.
We do appreciate the updates, Congressman James Comer, chairman of the Important House Oversight Committee.
Thank you for joining us today.
We appreciate your time, as always.
Thanks for having me, Sean.
All right.
I know a lot of you want to weigh in the big news of the day, obviously, the Minnesota school shooting, gunmen killing two children, injuring 17 others during this Catholic Mass, another sad, tragic school shooting.
The predictable reaction of the left is almost instantaneous.
The same left that is for sanctuary states and sanctuary cities and unvetted illegals, even though we have known terrorists and murderers and rapists and cartel members and gang members and drug dealers and other violent criminals.
Those, yeah, those same liberals, the same people that don't believe in law and order and safety and security, the same people that have been the loudest voices against Donald Trump using the guard to keep our nation's capital safe.
And he's been doing it successfully.
Crime is down in every massive category, including homicides, where they were averaging close to four per week, and there's been one in two weeks.
It's pretty unbelievable to listen to their rank hypocrisy and it's the depravity of it all.
How do you go out there minutes after a school shooting and politicize it?
I am frustrated because I know there is an answer.
It's not an answer they ever want to consider, but it's an answer I've stated earlier in the program today many, many times.
If you're just getting in your car, every school in America can be protected, completely protected.
We can have retired military, retired law enforcement in every school in the country, metal detectors in every school in the country.
These retired military, retired law enforcement, they can conceal carry.
They can wear suits.
They can be nice to the students.
The students won't really know what's going on.
And they will be there on site if such a moment occurs.
And that will deter people from trying to act out this way, like this lunatic with this, you know, it just, it's the same old story.
There's not a whole lot to add.
And you don't even have to pay these people.
What do you mean, Hannity?
They're going to work for free?
No, I don't want them to work for free at all.
But if they have a retirement that's being taxed, if they have other income that's being taxed, if they work 15 hours a week, you know, they should not have to pay local taxes, state taxes, or any federal taxes.
None, not a penny.
And if they work X number of years, maybe it's five years, maybe it's 10 years, you know, 15 hours a week, and they volunteer, then they don't pay any estate tax.
You know, why don't we pay them that way?
Why don't we get creative?
Why don't we be thoughtful?
Why don't we be grateful?
Why don't we be thankful?
Every law enforcement, former law enforcement person I know, every former military person I know, they have the skill, the training, the ability, the desire to protect people.
They've been trained to do this.
And I think you'd have people signing up left, right, and sideways.
Anyway, tour busy phones, Roger in my free state of Florida.
Roger, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, sir.
Yeah, I'll get right to it.
My wife was a retired school teacher for 30 years.
She was a school teacher.
We were married for 30 years.
She passed away in June.
And she would be the first one, one of the friends to volunteer to carry a weapon in the classroom.
But unfortunately, they denied that.
I don't know if it's county by county, but I live in Madison County.
And usually there is two or three lockdowns a year here for gun threats.
And this year alone, it's only been three weeks of school.
And in Leon County, there's been three different instances where students had weapons on their person.
And who's going to protect her?
I don't know.
Who's going to protect the students?
It's just, why wouldn't they let somebody that's willing and has a carry permit to do something like that?
Because I'm even taking it a step further.
I'm taking it out of the hands of teachers, although I'm not against the idea at all.
You know, there was the one shooting, I forget what city or town, they didn't allow any guns on school property.
A school shooting breaks out, and a teacher had a car parked off campus, ran to the car, got the gun, and ended up saving lives.
And it goes to John Lott's book, and we've had him on many, many times on the program, more guns, less crime.
And that's it.
You protect, you're able to stop perpetrators before these mass killings can occur.
Now, if you have these buildings on lockdown and you have retired military and you have retired police and law enforcement, it's a no-brainer to me.
And, you know, we keep reporting on these stories.
We can go all the way back to Columbine, and we still have the same old predictable, you know, knee-jerk, left-wing blame and reaction that it makes no sense at all.
The very people against law and order, the very people for open borders without any vetting whatsoever.
I'm tired of it because people's lives can be saved.
There is a way to save lives here.
Just like there's been a way to save lives in our nation's capital.
There's a way to save lives in Chicago and New York City and all these other places.
They just outright reject it.
That's right.
And the training, I believe, in Florida was going to be 140 hours.
I don't know if it's ever happened in the state of Florida or it's county by county, but she stepped up to the plate twice and there was no, no, nothing was acted on.
But what is wrong with our kids?
I mean, where do they get?
There's a lot of issues.
I mean, you know, we have the latest report, you know, showed, and it's frustrating.
Fox reporting that the shooter went by Robin and Robert.
You know, okay, what does that mean?
Are we dealing with somebody that's jacked up on hormones?
I mean, again, I mean, it's, you know, or we have these kids on these other, you know, medications that are severe.
And it's, you know, it's, it's become all too common.
And we're not looking at any possible direct connection.
I think it ought to be looked into.
I don't know the answer.
I don't know the circumstances of each individual involved in these shootings, but I do know that there's a way to prevent it.
And the way to prevent it are trained, armed officers in the classroom.
Period.
Retired military, retired law enforcement.
That's what I would do.
Here's the thing.
I took my son to school today, my adopted son, and he's in high school, walked in the office.
There's one officer standing in the office.
How does one person protect a whole high school?
He doesn't.
The answer is he can't.
Correct.
We know.
And, you know, it's a matter of proactive, reactive.
James in California, the United Socialist Utopia of Podcaster and Trump troller, do nothing Gavinusa.
What's up, James?
How are you?
Hey, how are you doing?
Well, I just have to say that, you know, you're always picking on California.
California is a horrible place.
California's got all these problems.
Remember, it's a giant state.
By the way, I live there.
I lived there five years.
It's a beautiful state in terms of geography.
Beautiful.
Yeah.
Well, I live in Southern California.
I live in Orange County, California.
I know Orange County well.
I lived in Santa Barbara.
Great.
Well, I feel safe.
I think the police do their good job.
They're handling homeless.
Mike Prosick, the Orange County prosecutor, he prosecutes.
Let me ask you a series of questions.
You want to defend California here.
Are you okay?
You're perfectly fine paying the highest property taxes in the country.
That's okay with you?
Actually, sir, I don't think we pay the highest property tax.
No, you do.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're happy paying the highest income taxes in the country.
You have Prop 13.
But not property taxes.
Property taxes.
Okay, follow me.
You're okay with paying the highest income taxes in the country, the highest sales taxes in the country, the highest gas taxes in the country.
You're paying more than twice per gallon than I pay in my free state of Florida.
You're okay with that.
Do you have a sales tax?
Okay.
The highest sales tax in the country is California.
The highest income tax is California.
It's 7%.
The highest gas tax is California.
Why don't you just answer?
You're happy with that?
You're okay with that?
I mean.
You have some of the worst schools in the country.
Your homeless problem is so out of control all over your state.
And if you're not aware of it, you're not getting outside of where you live in Orange County.
No, but you have some of the worst schools in the country.
You pay tens of billions of dollars in services for illegal immigrants because you're a sanctuary state.
Are you okay with all of that?
I never said I was okay with all that.
I said where I live here in California and the place where I live in, I'm very happy with that.
Then stay there.
Then don't leave.
I wouldn't want you to bring your crazy politics to my free state of Florida.
Stay right where you are.
How are we talking about politics?
I never mentioned what I am or my politics.
Are you just assuming?
Okay, if you're okay with the highest sales taxes and gas taxes, and you're okay with some of the worst schools in the country, some of the worst crime rates in the country, the highest homeless rate in the country, you have these outdoor drug dens all over southern and northern California, people shooting up in the streets.
If you're okay with all of that, then you go stay there.
Don't move.
Let me ask you: do you know anybody in the Pacific Palisades whose home burned to the ground?
Actually, I do.
I actually do.
I actually do.
Well, let me ask you: are you upset with your state that they don't practice the science of forestry and clear out the debris?
Are you upset with the fact that homes could have been saved if the fire hydrants had water in them and the reservoir wasn't empty?
Are you at all upset that eight months later, only a hundred of the a little over a hundred over the 13,000 people that lost their homes, they can't get a building permit?
Are you happy with your government?
Consider Pacific Palisades a forest.
That's not okay.
Well, Santa Ana winds and wildfires are predictable in your state, are they not?
Yes, sir.
And it's, you know what?
So it's pretty incompetent if it's predictable that you would need water in a fire hydrant and a reservoir, wouldn't you?
But where I'm at, even in Orange County, fires are a thing.
Why are you making excuses, James?
Why can't you just say it was government incompetence not to have water in a fire hydrant and to have an empty reservoir when predictable fires with Santa Ana winds came?
Why can't you say that's incompetent?
I'm pretty sure that's incompetent.
I'm pretty sure or you're sure.
Are you sure it's incompetent or are you pretty sure?
There's a lot of things going on in this state.
Listen, do me a favor.
Don't leave California.
Don't.
No, but wait, I got a question.
No, I don't want you to leave California.
I want you to stay there.
Yeah, yeah, but you stay there and you suffer with the worst schools, the highest homeless rate, the highest income taxes in the country, the highest gas taxes in the country, the highest sales taxes in the country, the highest homeless population, all the crime, and the worst schools in the country.
Stay where you are.
You belong there and you deserve the government you have.
You deserve it.
And you deserve empty fire hydrants and you deserve an empty reservoir because you're not demanding the change needed for your state.
Stay there.
Don't leave.
Don't budge.
Ask a question about your great state of Florida.
Yeah, what do you want to ask?
So you're going to tell me there's no crime in your state?
There's no bad say there's no crime, but it's some of the lowest in the country by far.
Drugs, there's no drugs, there's no crime.
Florida has either number one or number two ranked schools of public schools in the country.
Florida has no state income tax, very low taxes.
The population's higher in Florida, and their budget is less than half the state of New York.
And you have far better infrastructure.
And I know because I lived in both locations.
You don't have the homeless problem or the gang problem anywhere near any of the states we're talking about, and a much better quality of life.
And it's safer, more secure.
They believe in law and they believe in order.
But you stay in California.
You know what?
You deserve everything that happens to you out there.
You do.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
We have full coverage of this Minneapolis shooting, how it's been politicized.
Paul Morrow, Ari Fleischer, Tommy Laron, Mary Catherine Hamm, Tom Homan tonight, Scott Brown, Governor Glenn Young, Horace Cooper, Nine Eastern, Seth DVR on Fox.
We'll see you tonight, back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
Gotta hear Mark Simone tomorrow, 10 to noon, on 710 WOR.
