Sean Hannity opens his show by criticizing two Washington, D.C. grand juries for refusing to indict individuals accused of threatening former President Donald Trump, calling it evidence of political bias in the justice system. He contrasts media reactions to Trump's brief time out of the public eye with their handling of President Biden's absences and broader coverage biases against Republicans. Hannity also addresses rumors and conspiracy theories regarding both Trump's health and the Jeffrey Epstein files, arguing that efforts to implicate Trump in the Epstein scandal fail due to lack of evidence and Trump's past actions against Epstein. He closes by highlighting what he sees as media double standards, Democratic policy failures, and the ongoing culture war over political narratives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
And pretty amazing when you think about the magnitude of what we're talking about, which is you have two separate grand juries in our nation's Capitol, Washington, D.C., refused to indict two people accused of threatening the life of President Donald J. Trump in separate incidents,
according to prosecutors confirming to Fox News Digital one case involving a 50-year-old woman accused of posting online threats to assassinate Donald Trump and later repeating those threats directly to the Secret Serving an interview.
U.S. attorney for D.C. our former friend and colleague, well, it's not former, she's still a friend, former colleague, Janine Pierrot, whose office pushed for the indictment, blasted the jury's refusal on Tuesday.
A Washington, D.C. grand jury refused to indict someone who has threatened to kill the president of our country.
Her intent was clear, traveling through five states to do so.
He even confirmed the same to the U.S. Secret Service.
This is the essence of a politicized jury.
The system here is broken on many levels.
Instead of the outrage that should, you know, be engendered by a specific threat to kill the president, the grand jury in D.C. refuses to even let the judicial process begin.
Justice should not depend on politics.
In a second case, another grand jury declined to indict a man, allegedly threatening Donald Trump to kill him while being arrested last month on unrelated charges of vandalism in Northwest D.C. According to the charging documents.
The would-be Trump assassin told police he was intoxicated, admitted making the threat, described himself as a descendant of French Protestants who waged rebellions in the 1600s.
Pierrot said grand juries in DC are politically motivated, unwilling to hold violent or threatening defendants accountable.
But these are the same grand juries if you are a Republican.
I'm telling you right now, Democrats like nothing better than to indict you in places like Washington, D.C. or in New York City or any place in between.
Really sick, ugly, twisted, and we'll get into it more detail later.
You know, so there were rumors over the weekend, which is kind of an amazing phenomenon to me, considering Donald Trump is given more time to the media than Joe Biden in the in this short period of time that he's been re-elected.
And the sh in that short period than Joe Biden is given in over four years or thereabouts.
We'll we'll do the actual math and we'll get it to you.
We'll put it on TV tonight.
Um so Donald Trump is not public for two days over a Labor Day holiday.
Now it was moments like this where we'd get these images of Joe Biden on a beach in Delaware, incapable of moving a little baby beach chair from one location to another w without looking like he was gonna fall over.
This is a guy that couldn't communicate on a regular basis.
This is a guy that we now know, you know, everybody around him was hiding uh hiding his cognitive decline.
Uh we have major questions and a lot of developing evidence that seems to appear that Joe Biden did not authorize commutations and pardons, but used an auto pen, and there's no indication that he gave authorization at all to use the autopen,
and that authorization apparently came from a broad set of criteria that he laid out as evidenced in the New York Times piece about the issue, uh, which in my view legally would render those commutations and pardons invalid, uh, which means a lot of these people that think they were home free may not be as home free as they think that they are.
And, you know, Donald Trump goes missing for two days, and you would think, you know, uh I mean, this is what bothers me about these keyboard warriors and like the people that were attacking me, uh, you know, for the most ridiculous reasons,
because I believe we should have metal detectors, and we should have, you know, former trained military and law enforcement plain clothes at schools in every school around the country if you want to prevent school shootings.
You know, getting attacked for that, or getting attacked for, you know, pointing out Gavin Newsom, a make pretend Donald Trump is not the real Donald Trump.
Oh, don't you realize you're talking about Donald Trump?
No, I'm talking about Gavin Newsom, the guy that is a full-time tweety bird, a full-time podcaster, and a part-time horrible governor with the highest income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes in the country, nearly the highest corporate taxes on top of it.
Uh, a guy that, you know, you know, passed the buck along when we found out that predictable wildfires and predictable Santa Ana wins, you know, caused the loss of 13,000 homes, and then we discovered that firemen that were willing to risk their lives and put out those fires uh couldn't do so because there was no water in the fire hydrants and no water in the local reservoir.
Uh yet all of these events are very, very predictable, on top of them not following the science of forestry, and it is a science, and for a state that lectured the rest of the country about following the science during COVID as they shut down nearly the entire state,
except, of course, you know, there was no in-person learning for kids unless you were Gavin Newsom's kids and you were lucky enough to go to a private school, then you had in-person learning, uh, or you couldn't go to restaurants and many small businesses and many restaurants, they they shut down as a result, unless, of course, you had Gavin Newsom, the governor going to the French laundry, and it's like, why don't you fix the problems in your state?
How is it that 13,000 homes burn to the ground in part because of government incompetence with the highest taxes in the world, the worst schools, the worst homeless problems, the worst quality of life, nearly a million two people have left the state.
Uh, they lead the nation annually.
I think close to 200,000 people left California.
If you look at the cost of a U-Haul from California to Texas, uh, you're gonna pay four or five times the amount that you pay for that same U-Haul going from that same location in Texas back to California because you're doing U-Haul a favor by driving it back to California where their business is because people are leaving that state in droves.
It's insane.
But anyway, they've gotten into this insanity with Donald Trump is missing for two days, and you know, you got circled back Gensaki wondering why Trump spent a week in hiding.
He didn't spend a week in hiding.
He was gone, he was maybe out of the public eye for two days.
The same people.
Joe Biden would go missing for weeks on end, even when he was campaigning in 2020, hiding in his basement, you know, watching him do these prepared ridiculous, you know, videos with one take after another take after another take, putting on sunglasses inside.
It was so stupid.
You know, Gensaki, you know, I'm having a hard time keeping up with Joe Biden.
I mean, man, he's he uh he's got more energy than anybody I know.
I mean, she must be in the worst shape imaginable.
And we'll play it later.
Stephen Colbert had to had to scold his audience last night for booing at the news that Donald Trump is very much alive.
And then Jimmy Kimmel addressing Trump's mysterious bruising and likening him to Dracula.
Well, first of all, none of it's funny.
I mean, the only reason that I think Kimmel is doubled down on hating Trump is because he knows that his days are numbered because his ratings are even lower than Colbert's ratings, and so he knows his show is officially on cancellation watch, and so he's preparing, I guess, for the next chapter, whatever that next chapter may be.
You know, then you've got people like Joey Reed who used to work at MSDNC, now is claiming that magical doctors were able to cover up a conspiracy that Donald Trump was not actually shot.
I mean, these people have lost their minds.
I I will say this about Donald Trump, and you got to give him credit for this.
There's no human being on the face of this earth that takes up more space in people's heads than Donald J. Trump.
I mean, he's got an entire party, the Democratic Party, on their heels on a daily basis because they bubble and fizz like Alka Seltzer at every word that this man says.
They cannot help themselves.
The media mob, the legacy media mob.
They don't realize that they're dead in terms of influence because of Donald Trump.
I mean, he's forever tattooed the words fake and news into their foreheads, and no matter how hard they try, they're not going to be able to ever recover because nobody will ever trust them ever again.
And that's MSDNC, that's fake news CNN.
I mean, the fake news CNN on a lot of nights is lucky to get 400,000 viewers an hour.
I mean, that is a disaster if you're a television network.
And CBS and MBC and ABC, those networks are a disaster.
You know, but for sports, is there's not much for people to watch that that they care to watch anymore.
And people have made the switch to Prime and Netflix and Fox News because they know they can trust Fox News.
Annity, you're saying that, but you're a conservative on Fox News.
Yeah, I'm uh I'm a conservative on Fox News.
One of the big differences, I am honest about who I am.
I don't claim to be an objective journalist.
Yes, I am a member of the press.
Yes, I can produce thousands and thousands of hours, radio and TV of me doing straight news.
I can produce thousands and thousands of hours of doing investigative reporting that the state run legacy media mob would never do.
Obama's radical associates and associations, or you know, Russia, Russia, Russia.
We were right, they were wrong.
I can produce thousands of hours of coverage.
I can produce thousands of hours of coverage of commentary, but I'm up front.
I'm honest.
I say I'm a conservative.
I tell you who I vote for.
Was it any is there any surprise I voted for Donald Trump?
No, because I was honest about it.
You know, we talk about sports, we talk about culture.
We talk about, you know, crazy stuff that's in Linda's head.
God forbid I mentioned COVID on the rise in California right now, or else it's going to ruin the entire show today.
So I will not go down that road.
Did you read about that, by the way?
Just checking.
I did.
Fake news.
No, it's not fake news.
It is on the rise.
There are is a rise in positive cases.
It's not as it's not as bad as they're making it out to be.
I will tell you that part.
Anyway, um, but this is it it's almost like they feel I got I got this impression.
They can't beat Trump.
So they hear that, you know, Donald Trump has an health issue or Donald Trump's missing for 48 hours publicly.
He's not missing.
You know, it's not if a president of our country dies, we will learn about it pretty expeditiously.
They're not gonna they're not gonna hide the fact.
I knew for a fact it was fake news reporting, but I put that aside.
I took a couple of days off.
I knew the president was in good health.
I knew the president was playing golf.
I knew the president also is working in ways that nobody knows about.
Uh I'm expecting that in the next month or so there's going to be major developments on a very big story, which would be a huge feather in the president's cap.
I'm hoping that that comes true uh to add to the list of successful things that he's been able to pull off as president.
But, you know, to watch the media, it's like the only thing they've got left is, well, we can beat him.
He lives in our head.
Um he dominates the news coverage.
He's killed off any credibility the legacy media mob ever had.
So, you know, I guess we're we're left with, oh, maybe we can hope and pray that he's not around anymore.
I mean, it it's pathetic, it's desperate, it's all the things that you would expect it to be.
Um we have a major, we have major updates as it relates to the Democrats being wrong on every major impactful issue in your life from the economy to immigration to law and order and crime and energy and taxes and foreign policy.
And it's it's like, you know, remember it's the economy stupid, it's law and order stupid, and it's the economy stupid, and it's illegal immigration stupid, and it's energy prices stupid, the lifeblood of the world's economy, and it's foreign policy and a president that is willing to risk political capital to bring peace around the world, which ultimately in the end is in America's best interest.
You know, it's it's all of that stupid.
You know, I saw Tom Swazi, my former congressman when I did l live in New York.
Uh he's saying, Yeah, I wish the Democrats would say goodbye to AOC and you know, Marxist Kami Mamdani.
Uh, and he's only saying that because it's a marginal district, and he wants to stay in Congress, and he doesn't want to get voted out.
And by the way, there is a chance he might get voted out.
Anyway, we got a lot to get to.
800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Why is the the state-run legacy media mob?
You know, I mean, if I read one more story of the fact that Woody Allen sang the praises of Donald Trump over the weekend, um, speaking with Bill Maher, I guess on his podcast, Club Random, and he was a pleasure to work with, a very good actor.
He said on the show, very polite, hit his mark, did everything correctly, and had a real flair for show business.
Mark, you know, who spars with his guest joked that Allen should be careful about being canceled for saying these things.
Alan said, I only wish I could direct him now.
If he'd let me direct him now that he's president, I think I could do wonders.
Prompting Marr to laugh and say, but he was very easy to work with.
Um, you know, why are they doing because Woody Allen has a horrible reputation and they want to smear him.
Now that brings me to another big story of the day, and that is the Jeffrey Epstein dump.
I mean, it really is is kind of amazing that you know they were about to have this dis uh discharge petition in the House, and I guess Tom Massey and Rokana, a dis uh charge uh uh petition is when a member gets enough people, they can vote for something, they don't have to go through the normal process.
Anyway, and and it was going to force the release of all of the Epstein files, which already had been turned over to the House oversight and and reform committee of James Comer.
And so the information's already there, the information's already coming out, and you know, the only reason this became the biggest issue it became, and and even some quote conservatives, um, were pushing it.
And I felt that at the time that there was a rush to judgment, and whenever I find people that are rushing to judgment, I usually stand back, wait, watch, and see, and I want to get more information before I comment on it, and that's kind of what I was doing.
And uh I said this to Patrick Vett David when I was on his podcast.
I said, when everyone goes, you know, headlong into an issue, I usually just stand back and pull back because I want more facts.
To me, the entire purpose of the Epstein thing coming up was in large part, especially driven by the left, was because their hope, their prayer, their thought was that Donald Trump would somehow be implicated, and it would be a big scandal for Donald Trump.
What they weren't factoring in is that many, many years ago, Donald Trump, you know, humiliated Jeffrey Epstein and threw him out of his club in Palm Beach called Mar-a-Lago.
You might have heard of it.
It's the 18 million oh, I'm sorry, the one billion plus uh uh dollar mansion that you had this, you know, Judge Erdogan referred to as only worth 18 million, but he wouldn't allow a real estate expert from Palm Beach to testify that the judge couldn't be more wrong.
Why why would they allow the truth to come out?
You know, that would ruin a perfectly good story, and of course, that entire case, including the the monies involved and the payment that Letitia James over a half a billion dollars uh is not going to be paid out by the Trump uh I guess by the the Trump organization, but you know, she ran on a platform to get one man, one family, one organization, and in one sense she was successful.
In the end, she lost.
So I always felt that this was really about get Trump, and it didn't make sense because of his history with Epstein.
Now, if Epstein had anything on Donald Trump, I would imagine that having been humiliated by being thrown out of his club so publicly such a long time ago, long before he died, he would have been implicated.
Remember, he got a sweetheart deal in Palm Beach, Florida that to this day is being questioned and will be brought back up again.
And I was just just I considered myself skeptical of it from the beginning, and there wasn't enough evidence.
There was a lot of smoke and no fire.
There was a lot of speculation, and I think more than anything else, there was a lot of hope that this would smear and slander Donald Trump.
And that's how I viewed the case.
And I said, okay, my instincts ended up, I think, being proven right again, and that is to wait, watch and see how this thing develops before I go out there and comment on this.
And I understood what had happened.
I mean, you know, interviewed Tam Bondy, interviewed Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, and it was very clear that, yeah, they do have Epstein files.
They've been handed over to the House Government and Reform and Oversight Committee.
And now Congress has them.
And now they release them.
And what's fascinating about it is there's not any Donald Trump information in there.
Uh, what do I think about Epstein?
I think he's a creep.
I think what we do know about him is enough to make your skin crawl.
And if you have children, if you have a daughter or if you have any w woman in your life that you care about, knowing that there are people like him that are predators that are out there, should scare the bejesus out of everybody.
And I don't like people like him, period.
End of sentence, but he did seem to be the kind of guy that wanted to be around famous people.
And one of the famous people he tried to, you know, buddy up with was Donald Trump, who never got on his plane, never went to his island.
And what we're learning here is, and even MBC, now we're going to hear from I guess some of the victims.
And I, by the way, my thoughts are with all of them.
My prayers are with all of them.
Most of them apparently were very young when they were victimized by this creep.
And these survivors now will go before Congress are going before Congress, but before they did, uh, they went on MBC News with Haley Jackson, who straight up asked the question if they ever saw Donald Trump do anything inappropriate in relation to the deceased sex criminal.
Here's their answer.
I do have to ask, and I know it's just something I think we're compelled to at this moment with the attention on President Trump with these questions around a part in.
Did anybody see or hear of the president himself doing anything inappropriate as it related to Jeffrey Epstein?
No.
Or former President Clinton.
No.
All right.
Now Congress is back in session.
We have Democrats and their media cheerleaders again obsessing over this.
And honestly, the reason they are is because they they want to disrupt the momentum that Trump has.
And if they can find a scandal, that's going to be the way they do it.
Anyway, and in an interview, and we've had James Comer on the program many times.
He's the lead house investigator.
He said that Bill Clinton, not Donald Trump, is the quote prime suspect in the Epstein scandal investigation, which, by the way, if you look at the history of Bill Clinton, Kennedy, there you go again.
You're about to attack me.
I can feel it.
Yeah, is he would be more of a prime suspect because he was the president and he was hooking up with an intern while he was president of our country.
Anyway, Fox News reports Bill Clinton is, quote, the prime Suspect in the House Oversight Committee's probe looking at the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case, according to the committee chairman James Comer.
He said everybody in America wants to know what went on Epstein Island, and we've heard all the reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he is a prime suspect to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee, he said.
I wonder if that's why you know Clinton got off the plane with a very public display of a heart defibrillar.
What do you call it?
Yeah.
Uh that he had you can say it on air, not my ear.
Defibrillator.
Defibulator.
Well, you know, it's kind of odd the timing, don't you think that he got off a plane with one of those things?
One of those contraptions.
By the way, whenever I'm around you, I think I need one because you you tend to be a carrier and you give heart attacks.
So I'm here for something that's ever going to get a kick.
Oh, Linda's philosophy is I do better shows when I'm angry.
That's right.
If you were standing next to me, I'd kick you.
You do a great show.
House Oversight Committee issued a large batch of the uh deposition subpoenas to those with ties to Epstein, including the former president and his wife and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify before lawmakers, Democrats joined Republicans.
Look, I don't know.
What happened is they did have a file.
It was on Pam Bondy's desk.
It did have the names of victims, most of them underage or very young at the time.
Uh no prosecutor, no attorney general is going to release the names of victims.
Uh, and I know that frustrated people because they were expecting the name of potential, I guess, associates of Epstein.
Uh, but anybody that is a real survivor and a real victim of this creep, you know, I feel awful for.
They've also released, I guess, the uh tapes.
One of one of the attorneys at the Department of Justice, uh, Todd Blanch interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell for hours, and they released that as well.
And just Lane Maxwell said, no, she never saw anything untoward as it relates to Donald Trump.
We know the story and the impact of Prince Andrew in this.
Uh, one thing that we did get clarified in all of this, and uh I I guess the only reason that they, you know, when when Cash and Dan and Pam Bondy came into office, you know, they did have other issues to deal with.
We do have known terrorists in the country.
We do have murderers, rapists, gang members, cartel members, other violent criminals, drug dealers, open borders.
They had a lot of issues on their plate.
This was not their top priority.
First, securing the homeland was their top priority.
So, you know, the idea that you know people think they had nothing else to do but deal with the Epstein case, I thought was I thought was unrealistic.
But getting to the bottom of it was something they promised, and now we're getting there.
Uh, but this newly released congressional video fills that one minute gap in earlier surveillance.
You know, people thought this missing minute existed, and they thought they thought it existed.
It turns out there's not a missing minute.
But anyway, two key parts of the nearly 34,000 file drop by the House Oversight Committee revealed that the highly contested minute missing from the surveillance footage of his cell block at the Metropolitan Correctional Uh Center in New York.
The disputed minute lasted from 1158-59 on August 9, 2019, uh, to midnight on August 10th, 2019.
But digital forensic experts now previously found that the clip released by the Department of Justice was chopped from at least two separate video segments strung together using Adobe Premier Pro fueling conspiracy theories.
The new drop, the full video, the House Committee shows that the camera data switched uh at about data at about midnight, leading to a necessary binding of the two clips for the consecutive video.
And anyway, combined, it shows that there is no gap.
They have the entire video tape, and what they learned was every night the videos reset, and every night they would have, you know, what they thought was a missing minute, but in this case they have the entire footage.
Now, either you want to believe that or you don't want to believe it.
That's that's really up to you.
This guy's been dead what since 2019.
But I'm just telling you what at the end of the day, you know, however, this turns out, understand the motive for a lot of people has always been to get Donald Trump.
And I learned the lesson from Richard Jewell and from UVA and from Duke LaCrosse and from Ferguson, Missouri, and all these other high profile cases where everybody in the media rushes to judgment.
George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin, and we work our sources, and we're not going to be first because we're trying to get to the truth.
Freddie Graham Baltimore, we end up being right, Russia, Russia, Russia, the dirty Russian disinformation dossier, the Ukraine impeachment, and all the other manufactured scandals against Donald Trump is because we actually do real we we are patient and we wait for the information to come forward.
As of now, there's not the smoking gun that I think so many in the media had hoped for.
