FBI's "Arctic Frost" Probe
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
Hour to Sean Hannity Show, 800-941 Sean is a number.
If you want to be a part of the program, we are in the, well, I was going to say great state, a state that's hanging by a thread, the state of New Jersey.
We're here for a good reason.
We're doing a town hall on Hannity tonight.
Now, there are four pollsters, credible pollsters that have this a one-point race in New Jersey.
Four.
Now, that means that New Jersey, this may be your last shot.
You might be able to save your state from becoming New York 2.0.
And I would like to see that happen for the people of New Jersey because you deserve better than you're getting.
And if you're an independent, independents are going to decide this race.
Now, early indications are that they're breaking hard for Jack Chitterelli.
If they are, you know, again, I said it earlier.
I made a mistake four years ago.
There was no poll that indicated to me that this was going to be a close race.
Ended up being a very close race, just a couple of points difference against Phil Murphy.
Now, Phil Murphy, he's nearly doubled the amount of money since he's been governor that this state spends.
It's unconscionable.
So this is maybe your last opportunity.
I want to help out the state.
I have a lot of friends in the state.
And, you know, I grew up not far away and I see hope, like I see hope in Virginia with Winsom Sears.
And I wish her the best too.
But I can't do everything.
I can't be everywhere at once.
So anyway, that's why we're here.
That'll all take place.
We have a live audience.
It's going to be a fun crowd.
And we're going to be on 9 Eastern on Fox.
Please tune in.
I think you're going to want to see it.
Listen, I want to play, you know, we keep going over.
I want to play Chuck Grassley from yesterday because, or this week.
And Chuck Grassley laid out 197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team.
Subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals, 163 businesses, including financial institutions.
And the subpoena requested records and communications related to over 430 individuals and organizations.
Here's what Chuck Grassley said.
197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team.
These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.
And one of the points of contact on many of these subpoenas was that person I previously named special agent Walter Giordino.
The subpoena requested records and communications related to over 430 individuals and organizations.
All of them appear to be aimed at Republicans.
A subpoena to event strategies, requested records relating to Turning Point USA and the Republican Attorney General's Association.
I mean, the amount of information that is now beginning to come out is breathtaking, which really, I guess, warrants a very special introduction.
We have John Solomon, founder, editor-in-chief, chief investigative reporter for justthenews.com, and Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst.
And there was a very, very, very small number of us that were involved in exposing the Russia collusion, FISA abuse, and, you know, getting to the bottom of impeachment one and impeachment two and zero experience.
Hunter, we were more right than we knew at the time.
John Solomon, there's a lot of new developments here.
I'll let you break it down and only the way you can.
And I applaud your hard work and your ⁇ I mean, you're like a dog on a bone, man.
You just don't give up.
You just stay in the game and you hunt and hunt and hunt and you get the answers and you get it right.
Thank you.
That means a lot.
And thank you, Sean, for giving us the opportunity these last 10 years, Greg and I and others who were serious about this issue to get this out to the American people.
You've been the most important bullhorn.
You broke a lot of these stories yourself as well.
Listen, you take Greg's incredible books about Russia collusion and you realize they had a pretty darn good scheme.
This was a fully realized scheme.
And I'm going to tell you that what Arctic Frost is, the 2022 investigation of the FBI, is an improvement by bad terms, I should say.
The bad guys improved the system.
They figured out a way to take the FBI, carry out another political dirty trick, but this time go so much wider than any imagined investigation I could ever think of in my lifetime.
400-plus Republicans are targeted.
You're getting bank records for people like Dan Scavino, who's just simply managing President Trump's social media accounts.
You're getting the bank records for his social media company, which had nothing.
By the way, the nicest guy in the world, and nobody has any idea the hell, I mean hell, that these people were put through.
Do you understand?
All these people had to hire expensive lawyers.
The stress of being subpoenaed and deposed and dragged in and threats of jail and whether or not you're going to be indicted any minute.
They all lived under that threat.
And by the way, we were pretty close to the fire too, without going too deep into the weeds about us.
Yeah, listen, anyone who was in MAGA world was simply being scooped up in this investigation.
It was a MAGA dragnet.
It was like they took a boat into the ocean and started dragging the floor of the ocean, looking for one rusty license plate that they were going to hang on Donald Trump's campaign and make sure he couldn't win the 2024 election.
Why do I say that?
This investigation is supposed to be about something that happened on January 6th, the alternate electors.
They don't open it in 2021.
They wait to April of 2022 to open it, four days after Donald Trump announces, oh, I'm back in the game.
I'm running for 2020.
Oh, I'm sure that's a coincidence, John.
It sure is.
And you could tell it's rushed.
Do you know how?
Because I took the opening memo from the FBI.
They sent it to 10 agents and said, analyze this for me.
Like, my God, this is a horrible memo.
This doesn't have evidence in it.
It's citing CNN interviews.
That's not evidence.
And oh, here's something really important.
Two other times in the history of our country, alternate electors were offered in 1876 and in 1960, both times, ironically, by the Democratic Party.
In both of those instances, the legal precedent was you do not charge the people.
This is an example of people addressing grievances to the Senate.
The Senate makes the decision you do it.
So the history of not prosecuting isn't even addressed in this memo.
They rush it together.
FBI agents say it's a really sloppy piece of work.
And it just fits that playbook that Greg Jarrett did such a great job exposing in his two books.
Well, add to this the context of Merrick Garland and his own handwriting, you know, basically giving the okay along with FBI director at the time, Ray.
Yeah, let me jump in here.
And Sean is so right.
And you should check out his latest column today in just the news.com.
He really goes through it.
But here's my view of it.
Just as the Russia hoax was this invented fiction that culminated in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation that was corrupt to its core, this one, Arctic Frost, is much the same.
They're doing it all over again.
Political vengeance on steroids by a rogue FBI and a runaway Department of Justice stacked with partisan operators run amok.
And this is shaping up to be an enormous criminal conspiracy that involves top officials who decided to weaponize the law and persecute and victimize anybody in Donald Trump's orbit and beyond.
They took a wrecking ball, Sean, to the legal system and our Constitution, the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, search and seizure.
And there is no valid reason or justification that can support this level of corruption and abuse of power.
Whether it culminates in charges, arrests, and prosecutions, I think it should, but we'll wait to see.
There's no doubt in my mind that this was a vast conspiracy to deprive people of their constitutional rights under color of law.
And what is that?
That is criminal under 18 U.S.C. 242.
What about unreasonable search and seizure?
I mean, Trey Gowdy, right out of the box last night, Greg, I'll ask you this from the legal side, said, what is the underlying crime that they're investigating?
What warranted this intrusion, this government intrusion into people's rights?
Because usually you have to go through a process.
You have to have a crime that you're looking into.
You have to have a predicate.
You have to get a warrant.
It doesn't appear that any of that happened, did it?
No.
The DOJ was issuing subpoenas.
And the entire Arctic Frost was approved by Garland under the phony guise of investigating election interference in the 2020 election, stretching into January.
Well, wait a minute.
Why didn't they go to the pre-bunking by the FBI of the very real laptop that they validated as real in March of 2020, March of 2020?
Then they spent all summer meeting weekly with big tech companies, knowing it was coming out because Bob Costello, then Rury Giuliani's attorney, had a copy and they knew he'd release it.
Because they employ a double standard based on political partisanship.
So, you know, Garland approves this thing despite clear precedence that the use of alternative state electors, as John pointed out, in a contested election, perfectly legal.
It's proper.
It is not at all fraudulent.
It is not criminal.
Garland knew that.
He didn't care.
He used the claim of fake electors as a pretext to launch his lawless and punitive investigation.
The ultimate target, of course, was Donald Trump, and the law affair crusade against him then followed.
But along the way, Garland's DOJ, with help from Biden's White House, colluded with partisan J6 committee members, along with state prosecutors like Fonnie Willis, who pursued their own misbegotten cases against Donald Trump.
All right, quick break right back.
We continue in New Jersey, our town hall with gubernatorial candidate Jack Chitterelli.
Four separate pollsters have this a one-point race in the deep blue state of New Jersey.
That's why we are here.
Full coverage tonight, 9 Eastern on Hannity.
We'll continue, Greg Jarrett, John Solomon on the other side from New Jersey.
How you doing?
We'll continue.
Keeping an eye on breaking news and bringing it to you first.
Sean Hannity.
All right, we continue.
John Solomon and Greg Jarrett are with us as we continue from New Jersey, our town hall with Jack Chitterelli.
Tonight, four pollsters have this race for governor of New Jersey at a one-point margin.
Wow.
Deep blue, New Jersey.
It's in play.
It's so deep and profound, and the magnitude of which I think for average people that work really hard every day and they're feeding their kids and they're helping them study and they're getting them off to school.
And, you know, it's hard for everyone, John Solomon, for them to keep a hold of this.
You can add to this a huge double standard because Hillary Clinton had top secret classified information on her server.
She didn't have the Presidential Records Act to support her.
Joe Biden had top secret classified information in four separate locations, but no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute.
You know, where does this go, John?
Well, I think it's going to go to the courts in several places.
Already one victim of this dragnet, one person whose phone records were taken because she was doing her job certifying the election on January 6th is Senator Marsha Blackburn.
She's already filed a lawsuit.
Her civil liberties and her constitutional protections as a lawmaker were violated and intruded on by the FBI.
I think you're going to see many, many more people come forward saying, listen, I had no connection to January 6th.
There was no reason for my bank records or my phone records or my whatever records to be seized and pierced by the FBI in a search for some sort of dirt that they could maybe find on Donald Trump.
So I think civil litigation is going to be the first lead in.
Separately, I have confirmed with the FBI that the FBI has opened a criminal investigation into its own employees to see if any crimes were committed.
Did anyone do something under false pretenses?
Did anything do outside the color of law, but use the color of their authority to do so?
That's ongoing.
As we know, a lot of the people involved in Arctic Prost have been terminated.
They're no longer with the FBI.
The unit that conducted this and all of this data mining, it's been disassembled by the director, FBI, Director Cash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
So consequences are occurring daily.
We hardly get a chance to keep up with them because there's so much breaking news.
But the FBI has fundamentally changed itself, including getting rid of people who lean towards using politics as a standard for an investigation instead of evidence.
They're getting rid of the tools.
They're getting rid of the unit that did this.
But the ultimate, I think, punishment that people are looking for is either prosecutions if laws are broken or civil settlements or civil lawsuits that will make whole people do this.
And you said something really profound.
People who went through this process went through hell.
I had an FBI whistleblower who blew the whistle on this stuff.
And he said to me, John, I know for sure the people who did this knew that even if there wasn't a crime, that the process would be the punishment.
They would roll up tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars or legal bills.
Their families would be terrorized.
Their jobs would shun them.
They'd get shunned in social circles.
So even if they were innocent, because they were MAGA Donald Trump people, they were going to be punished by the process.
Knowing that an FBI agent witnessed that and saw that, you have to realize a lot of people paid pain for having done anything wrong.
Well, I can't praise you both enough.
And you've done such a great amount of work for the country.
I can't imagine the country would know half of this without both of you and a few members of Congress that were very helpful along the way.
Not many.
I'll tell you that.
John Solomon, Greg Jarrett, thank you both for the great work you both do every day.
It's more appreciated than you know.
You're doing phenomenal work.
I-25 now to the top of the hour.
We are in the state of New Jersey.
We have four credible pollsters independently have the state of New Jersey, deep blue New Jersey, at a one-point race.
This may be New Jersey's last opportunity to save their state.
So we are here to help you and to bring awareness and to let people know enthusiastically.
I'm not promising a result.
I'm saying you're in the game.
I'm saying this is very real.
And if you want to end the, you know, if you don't want to be New York 2.0, this is your shot.
Otherwise, your future is going to be, you know, Comrade Marx's Mamdani.
That's going to be your future.
It's that simple, and we're here to help you.
I have a lot of friends in the state.
I don't want that to happen to you.
We'll have full coverage.
We have a town hall.
We've got a big crowd tonight.
Nine Eastern on Fox.
It's going to be awesome.
Hope you'll join it.
And by the way, this has implications everywhere.
Don't fool.
Let me tell you, New Jersey goes red whole.
Wow.
That is a political earthquake.
And then Comrade Marx's Mamdani is now the leader of the Democratic Party.
I hate to say the quiet part out loud.
Don't let Linda know I'm saying it.
Probably the best thing that could happen to Republicans nationally.
Sorry saying it.
Now, with that said, and you can chime in because you're chomping at the bit.
Oh, I know.
You're doing just fine.
Oh, yeah.
But best thing.
However, for the sake of my friends that live in New York and the people that I like and respect that live in New York, I do know people in New York.
Like your whole team?
Basically, every single week.
Just Katie and I on the subway just hanging out, just like doing our thing, man.
Are you free?
The weekend of January 22, you know, I'm like, this week, are you free then?
How about the next weekend?
I'm not free.
No, how about the weekend after that?
I am not available in perpetuity.
Okay.
I've already tried to give you a vacation.
It did not work out well.
All expense payments.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
Sorry.
But I'm just saying, but I don't want it to happen.
New Jersey.
If New Jersey went red, just imagine how awesome that would be.
I mean, Fox News can project that in the deep, deep blue state of New Jersey, New Jersey, that Jack Chittarelli, the Republican, has been elected governor in the state of New Jersey.
Let me tell you why it makes sense.
First of all, you're wrong about New York, but we'll leave that for a brief moment.
Do you want to put money on it?
Sure, let's put some money on it.
Like a $2.6 trillion economy that'll go to crap if he wins.
There's no way people are going to do it.
So your argument is: I am wrong.
Mom Dani's not going to win.
Why are you talking so loud?
Am I scaring you with my facts?
No, but I'm asking.
So you're saying that Momdani's not going to win.
I do not think Mom Dani will win.
How much money are you willing to put on that?
$1,000.
I'll put Bobby.
Blair, what are you putting $1,000 on?
Are you with me or him?
Excuse me, not included.
Okay.
So the problem is, I make all these bets.
Like Clay Travis was talking about on a radio show.
He owes you money.
I've won every bet we've ever had.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, you're going to lose this bet.
I'm not going to lose it.
And here's the problem.
I can't take $1,000.
Let me tell you something.
I stood strong.
I could not take your thousand dollars.
You can't just take it out of direct deposit.
It's very easy.
You can paycheck.
It's not the fault.
I'm going to really take it out of your paycheck.
You're right.
You don't even know.
That's not how I roll.
I run that.
You're right.
Sorry.
Yeah, you pay yourself.
I'll add a couple thousand for you.
Great.
Linda's in charge of the books.
We're screwed.
As far as first of all, I'm not dumb.
Just eat a pork roll.
Listen, I would eat a pork roll.
My grandpa ate pork roll.
All right.
I'm from the old.
Mikey Cheryl doesn't know what it is.
Mikey Cheryl is a moron.
She doesn't know where her money comes from.
She doesn't know if she's a bad person.
A moron, like a moron.
Like Momdani Moroni.
Monon and Maldon.
Moron Mamdani.
No, he's a moron because it's just like Zoron.
You know, he got all upset when he said his name wrong.
Who gives a rip?
I kept saying to Curtis, it's Zoron.
Oh, please.
He goes, Curtis was at one point.
Eventually, I'll get it.
Whatever.
Like, are you a magician?
Just shut up.
Like, I don't care.
Listen, I hope you're right.
I really do.
No, I am right.
And I will tell you, and I will tell you why.
Because people in their heart believe in the Christian Judeo nation that we are.
And there's no way they're going to vote for a man who hates capitalism, America, and Jewish people.
We love this nation.
We cannot put a brand new citizen who could give a rip less about half of the population in New York City.
They may tell you they're voting Mom Donnie.
Why did I ask you?
But they're not.
They're voting Cuomo or Sleewell.
I'm telling you right now.
But Chita Raleigh is an accountant.
He's a good man.
He's a good father.
And Mikey Cheryl does not know where $7 million went.
She cannot run a payment.
She doesn't know how she got $7 million.
And meanwhile, she's like on the Defense Appropriations Committee.
Shocking.
And a lot of parent investments in that industry.
The other part is the thing about her, she keeps giving different answers when it comes to, you know, why she didn't walk with her class at graduation at the Naval Academy.
Or why her two kids talk about nepotism got into the Naval Academy.
There's five seats given in the middle of the year.
It just so happens.
It's a miracle.
It's a chance.
Just a chance.
All right.
Listen, many of you still suffering from the hangover of the Biden-Harris economy.
One way to save money, not sacrifice service, make the switch to my cell phone provider, Pure Talk, a veteran-owned company, America's wireless company.
Now, the beauty is you're going to get the same exact 5G network, same exact cell towers, the same exact service as ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
And the average family saves over $1,000 a year.
And you get, for example, plans like Unlimited Talk, Unlimited Text, plenty of data, $25 a month.
And it's simple and it's fast and it's easy to save money for the same service.
You just dial pound 250, say the key word save now, do it now, and you'll save an additional 50% off your first month.
Pound 250, keyword, save now, and make the switch to Pure Talk.
Oh, I got to play this.
Oh, my gosh, this is hilarious.
This is Kamala Harris hammered by a, well, it came out like many people probably thought.
No, Kamala Harris hammered by an Australian reporter on Biden's frailties and his cognitive issues.
Listen.
Wasn't Joe Biden then to put it on him?
Wasn't his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?
I ran against Donald Trump for president.
And Donald Trump ran on a platform that was in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people.
I do believe that there are a fair number of people that voted for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them that his first priority on day one is going to be to bring down prices.
Forgive me.
And I want you to calendar in terms of this.
I want to interrupt you because that is a world-class pivot, but it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you.
The question is about Joe Biden.
Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?
In what regard, please?
Well, just in terms of that question.
So you went on that client.
I'd like to be more specific, if you don't mind.
Was it Joe Biden's decision, his failure to recognize his own frailties in that position that put you in the position that made it almost impossible to win that race?
He was not frail as President of the United States.
But he had frailties.
We all saw the debate.
I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to be president of the United States, and I've never doubted that he had the capacity to be president of the United States.
If you want to talk about whether he had the ability to endure what a race for president of the United States would require in that political environment in 2024, as I've said in the book, I had concerns.
I'm just wondering, is there a reason why you won't go to that prolonged frailty question?
No, we saw the debate.
We saw the difficulty he had marshaling his thoughts.
I have answered that question.
I do not believe.
I think it's just hard watching the debate to see how there could not be a problem long term with someone who can't marshal their thoughts.
I'm not saying his acuity was that in the book.
And I also mentioned the context in which that debate occurred.
That might be one of the greatest interviews with her of all time.
That was awesome.
Crazy Carville, James Carvo has a message for Kamala.
No Democrat wants to hear from you.
Pretty straightforward.
Quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
More calls straight ahead.
800-941-Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
We are in the state of New Jersey.
Four separate pollsters have this a one-point race.
New Jersey, you got a real shot here.
Get out and vote.
Jack Chitterelli, Town Hall tonight, nine Eastern on Fox.
We'll continue.
Final hour roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
We're in New Jersey.
I mean, four pollsters now have this deep blue state where the Republican, it's a one-point race.
That means it is a turnout election.
You want to save your state?
Get your ass out to vote.
Or forget about it.
Forget about it.
New York 2.0.
All right, 800-941-Sean.
Tamara is in Arkansas.
Tamara, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, well, I'm a struggling single mom of four kids, and I drive for Spark, which is a Walmart delivery service.
We deliver everybody's foods, groceries, all that kind of fun stuff.
The problem is, is that many of our customers get their food stamps.
And if they don't get their food stamps, that means that this mama does not have a job.
Look, I'm probably going to wait till Wednesday next week, but I'm just going to be very blunt.
I think the Democrats are going to wait to open up the government.
They're not going to interfere with the election.
They don't want to have an impact on it by opening up the government.
But if it goes on past Wednesday, I'm going to ask this audience to do something that I am going to do myself if you can afford it.
I mean, a lot of people are struggling.
If you can't, you know, you got to take care of your family first.
And that is go to your local food bank because these people are going to need help.
That's it.
I did this during COVID, and I'm not bragging about, you know, doing a nice thing.
I just felt it was the right thing to do.
And I think this could be devastating, what they're about to do.
And I cannot believe Democrats have taken it this far.
But you're right.
That I'm saying it is a domino effect because you know what?
I have to work every day to take care of my kids.
And it's not just putting food on the table.
It's electricity.
It's gas in the car.
It's insurance.
Rent, everything.
It depends on mama going out here and making deliveries.
If people can't.
Do you like do Instacart or one of those services?
I do Spark, which is Walmart.
Oh, Spark.
I didn't know about that.
I got to get that one.
I got to download that app.
I'll tell you how I feel about people that work like you do because I use Instacart and I use Uber Eats.
And sometimes I only need like three things.
And I just like, ah, crap.
I got back from shop and I forgot it.
I need it.
And I'll order.
And, you know, and then it gives you like a tipping option.
20% is like $9.
I'm like, I'm not making somebody go all the way to the store, burn up all that gas, drive to my house, deliver it conveniently for me and giving somebody, yeah, I'll be honest, my minimum tip is 25 bucks.
I'm like, I refuse to do that because I think it's unfair to people like yourself that are working hard, burning gas, and you got to hustle to make money doing what you do.
Definitely.
Well, I would deliver for you any day.
Well, it's funny because, you know, there's usually the same people.
It's like they wait all day until I order something.
And I've become friends with them.
I like them a lot.
They're really good people.
And I learned more about their life story.
But, you know, it's hard work what you're doing.
And I hate when I found out, and my kids don't know any better.
You know, my kids would hit the 20% tip button, whatever.
My daughter drives me crazy.
You know, they would order either a Starbucks or a Celsius or whatever.
She doesn't drink Celsius, but my son likes Celsius.
But my daughter gets this crazy insane coffee.
I don't even know the name of it.
And I'm like, and she said, Dad, you always told me to treat people well and to tip them, you know, 20, 25%.
I said, I always do that.
I'm like, no, no, no, honey, stop.
I said, if your order is $5, you got to tip more than 20%.
At that point, give them 20 bucks.
And she looked at me and she said, well, you told me, well, she used to do what I did when she first got out of my credit card.
She said, well, you always just doubled the bill and that's what I always did.
And I'm like, okay, you're not your dad.
You don't have your dad's kind of money.
I'm like, you didn't have your dad's background working in restaurants.
And I'm like, I don't know.
I have this weird thing.
And by the way, thank you for the call, Tamarin.
Thanks for what you do.
You guys are so nice that deliver things to all your houses.
It's so convenient.
And I don't know why this is.
I see my dad, the waiter, every time I go to a restaurant.
That's who I think.
I'm like, who would have, what would I, how would I want my dad to be treated?
I can't help it.
It's not me.
I did all that too.
But it's just he worked so hard, grew up so freaking poor.
I'm like, man, he had a hard life.
Four years in the Pacific, World War II.
And I just, it's important to me.
I don't know.
I just have my values.
By the way, good works don't get you into heaven.
You know what gets you into heaven?
Jesus.
You know, that's what it's belief.
I've been actually trying to have these conversations with Trump because he keeps saying, well, if I get there, I'm like, you're already getting there, but you're not going to get there by creating peace all over the world.
That's not how it works.
And I sent him a scripture that had said it's not by works, but through faith in Jesus.
I said, that's why you believe in Jesus.
Then you're going to heaven and I'll see you there.
I said, I know.
You'll have the bigger mansion.
I got it.
Bigger mansion, bigger plane.
