Power to Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-Sean, our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, there is a follow-up.
We have a lot of legal issues we're going to get to, not the least of which the legality and the lack of vetting that went on with all of these Afghan, quote, refugees that were allowed into the country.
When you look at the numbers, they're actually staggering in terms of the lack of vetting that took place.
This is what I have been warning about repeatedly.
It's prayed that I was wrong, but I'm not wrong.
76,000 Afghan refugees resettled, but here's the problem.
6,868 Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, you know, led into the country that were flagged for derogatory information.
5,000 plus flagged for national security purposes and a whole variety of national security risks associated with them, and they still let them in.
And so we'll get to that in a second.
One thing we wanted to update you on is the issue of James Comey.
It was big news.
James Comey's case was temporarily thrown out.
There is a six-month window for them to bring these charges back into play.
Kash Patel has spoken out about this, said the FBI has numerous options to pursue the dismissed case against Comey.
Here's what he said.
Director Comey was recently dismissed.
What is your reaction to that?
Well, because it's pending in terms of appellate status and what we are going to do for the next steps, the judicial process can make whatever determination it wants, but we, the FBI, and our partners at the DOJ, have numerous options to proceed, and we're executing on all those options.
So we're not done.
Any detail?
I would say stay tuned for right after Thanksgiving, and you'll see multiple responses, in my opinion.
All right.
So he also went on to say that they're going to continue to expose everything that they found in the burn bag rooms, but also recall that it was Kash Patel that said that they're investigating a possible grand conspiracy.
I won't go through the entire laundry list and all the specificity, but from the moment Trump came down that escalator in 2015, all the way through the election in 2024, there's been a concerted deep state effort that we have chronicled in great specificity on this program of putting cinder blocks on the scale of presidential elections.
And here's what he kind of said about that and what they might find in these burn bag rooms.
Just one thing about the burn bags really quickly.
This room 9582, how is it that people didn't know it existed or how was it found?
Can you give us any sense of this at all?
I'll just say this generally.
When the United States government and agency heads want things to disappear and want things to be buried and hidden, they know how to do it.
But what they didn't count on was President Trump winning, him electing leadership across the United States government to say, go find out how they corrupted and weaponize law enforcement.
And that's what we did.
That's what we're doing.
That's how we found it.
And we're going to continue to expose it.
And you're going to see everything we found in that room in one way or another, be it through investigation, public trial, or disclosure to Congress.
Now, John Solomon, editor-in-chief, founder and chief investigative reporter of Justthenews.com joins us.
Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst, New York Times number one best-selling author are with us.
Welcome both of you.
I find all of this pretty amazing.
First of all, I'm stunned that they left all of this information in a burn bag in, I guess, on the seventh floor of the FBI building.
That's pretty spectacular in and of itself.
You would think on the way out, they probably want to cover their tracks knowing they were up to no good.
Yeah, you're right, Sean.
And it may be the theory that a lot of the people who worked on this inside the FBI have is that some patriots inside the FBI were told to destroy it.
They told people they had done it, but they accidentally, I put accidentally in air quotes, left the burn bags unburned so that they would be found by a future director during the transition.
You just look at the timing of this.
This is going on in January of 2025, just a few days before the Trump administration is coming in.
It clearly is a cover-up.
Some people inside the FBI say, hey, this is the modern day version of the 19-minute gap on the Nixon tapes from Watergate.
People were trying to get rid of evidence before it goes.
Now, let's see what the evidence is.
Let's find out what agents and employees were in that room.
Who were they talking to before they went into that room?
Who gave them instructions?
Why was James Comey's handwritten notes in that room, but not logged into the FBI system?
Those notes are very important for one part of the issue.
All FBI records are supposed to be logged into a database.
So why weren't those notes logged into the database and were they close to being destroyed?
Those are all very important things that we're now learning about from the court records.
And I think Kash Patel has hinted maybe a big avalanche of new information coming in the coming days.
That's what it certainly sounds like to me, Greg Jarrett.
And a grand conspiracy case eliminates all of the statute of limitation issues that basically have handcuffed the Trump administration.
The only reason Lying to Congress came up is because he did that.
I believe it was in 2020, and they filed that just before the statute of limitations even ran out on that.
But if it's a grand conspiracy, my understanding legally is that they have every right to bring up what involvement he had with the dirty dossier, when he knew what, when, and where.
Why did he sign three of the four FISA applications using the dossier that was even debunked by December of 2016?
And he still continued to use it and present it to a court to spy on President Trump and Carter Page.
I think you're right about the statute of limitations.
When Patel says that they're pursuing multiple options, there are three of them.
First of all, the ruling by the Clinton-appointed judge that Halligan was invalidly appointed, that's now on appeal, maybe overturned, and the original Comey indictment in Virginia reinstated.
Second option, in the alternative, Comey can simply be reindicted with the exact same charges, even additional charges, because Judge Curie's dismissal was rendered, quote unquote, without prejudice.
That means the criminal case against Comey can be brought all over again by a new vote of the Virginia grand jury, a different U.S. attorney, because as you point out, Sean, under the law, the statute of limitations is automatically extended for six more months.
But third and finally, this overarching conspiracy, even if Comey were to prevail in Virginia, getting the case tossed out, he's not free and clear as he seems to think.
His alleged lies, his corrupt acts, are also being investigated in a different jurisdiction in Florida by a separate grand jury convened by a different U.S. attorney.
So, you know, Comey's arrogant claim that the case is over now is grossly premature.
Even worse, you know, his insistence that he is a victim of, quote, malevolence is hypocritical and laughable.
I mean, Comey's a guy who hijacked and weaponized the law to victimize Trump, bringing a phony Russia collusion case that he knew at the outset was pure and utter fiction, invented by Hillary Clinton.
Let me get your take legally on the president announcing he's canceled all Biden Autopen orders in a truth social post that he made.
He said it's hereby terminated.
Reaction to that.
Is that binding?
Sure, it could be.
Absolutely.
And it would only be tested if somebody challenges it in a court of law.
Most of the executive orders, it doesn't really matter because they were overturned by subsequent succeeding executive orders by Trump when he took office.
But as for, you know, the auto pen and all of the commutations and pardons and so forth, the Trump administration could take the position that these people are no longer entitled to that.
That would trigger litigation by those individuals who were pardoned.
And a court of law would have to look into it.
But there's substantial ground that Biden was either not competent to make a decision or he delegated it to somebody else.
And that under law is not allowed.
It renders the commutations null and void.
Yeah.
Quick break more with John Solomon, Greg Jarrett on the other side.
And your phone calls coming up, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I'm more with John Solomon and Greg Jarrett are with us.
And I want to get both your takes.
And John, I'll start with you on this one.
We're learning a lot.
I mean, we have, you know, one National Guards person dead, another clinging to life.
And the more we learn about the Afghans that were resettled.
Now, we have to go back to what happened, and that was the disaster at Kabul International Airport.
And we really need to go back even further than that.
When President Trump was in office, he had a conversation with the head of the Taliban, and he said, and I've interviewed him many times, and I brought this up to him many times.
And he said that he was on the phone with the head of the Taliban.
He said, before any withdrawal, let me make it very clear to you.
If you move one inch, we will know about it and we'll destroy you.
And I think he had proven his case.
He had dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan.
He took out the ISIS Caliphate, Soleimani, Baghdadi and associates.
Subsequently, in this term, he's taken out Iran's nuclear sites.
And it would have been, you know, a peaceful transition.
We would have also kept Bagram Airbase, I believe, which we built that we lost in the process.
But we saw the mess that was the hasty withdrawal that abandoned Americans behind enemy lines.
And yes, we had made promises to Afghanis that had been of assistance to us that we would help them.
Help that does not necessarily that I know of defined as coming to America.
We're now learning that the number of people Biden let in was over 76,000, 6,868 flag for derogatory information, 5,000 plus flag for national security, nearly 1,000 flag for fraud, nearly 1,000 flag for public safety.
And we still have 885 national security risks at large in the country that Biden and Harris let into the country.
Not a matter of if it's going to happen.
It's when it's going to happen.
And this seems to be a win situation for me, but not the big when that I'm predicting.
And I hope I'm wrong about that I pray to God I'm wrong about.
Well, listen, there is a moment.
Let's remind everybody the game that the Biden administration played.
They let all these people in exactly the way you described.
And they would go on TV every day and say, nope, we've vetted 99% of all Afghan evacuations in the United States.
And Congress said, that's not possible.
80, 70, 80,000 in Mama.
How'd you vet them?
And they just kept repeating it.
In fact, the former Homeland Security Secretary, Mayorkas, said it to Congress multiple times.
Then in 2022, that lie was pierced.
Why?
Because the homeland, the Security Department's Inspector General, its chief watchdog, said, no, they didn't do that.
This is a direct quote from this September 2022 report from, by the way, the Biden administration's Homeland Security Department.
Quote, we determined information used to vet evacuees through U.S. government databases such as name, date of birth, identification number, travel document data was inaccurate, incomplete, or missing.
We also determined that Customs Border Protection admitted or paroled evacuees who were not fully vetted into the United States.
So they used bad data to vet some, and they didn't vet others at all.
Now, that gave us a warning in September 2022.
What did the Biden administration do after that?
The answer is nothing.
Now, tragically, just a few days before the shooting outside the White House of those two brave National Guardsmen, the Justice Department, excuse me, the Biden Trump administration began a re-vetting process.
Now, not because they knew the tack was coming, just because it was on their radar of things they needed to get done.
So they began this comprehensive review.
It looked at everybody brought into the country from Afghanistan from January 20 to February 20, January 2021 to February 20, 2025.
So basically, all the way through the Biden years and the first month of Trump's new administration, because the old people were still in charge in many of these agencies.
The goal was to re-interview all refugees, particularly those that came from Afghanistan.
So the Trump administration was trying to fix this problem, but the real opportunity that they allowed to pass was in September 2022 when the Homeland Security Department's chief watchdog on Joe Biden's watch warned that there were thousands of unvetted people from a dangerous country, Afghanistan, walking around in the United States.
Nothing happened after that.
And that is where this tragedy can clearly be tracked back to.
Well, get your thoughts, Greg Jarrett.
We have less than a minute.
As a matter of common sense and logic, it was impossible to vet these people and everybody knew it.
Why?
Because vetting involves the host government and the government from whence the refugees came, which is Afghanistan.
The government in Afghanistan was driven out of power by the Taliban.
And when the Taliban took over, they ended relations with the United States.
They were hostile to the U.S.
And so you couldn't contact the Taliban-run government and say, well, tell us about these Afghan refugees.
And so Biden knew full well, and those in administration, that you're talking about people who are a national security risk inherently.
You know, overall, Biden didn't care if he was letting in from all kinds of countries, murderers, rapists, child abusers, and terrorists.
He just didn't care.
And the end result is people have been victimized and more recently, two lives, precious lives lost.
So tragic.
It's so sad.
And one is clinging to life as we speak.
And I spoke to the family last night.
The mother of this one National Guardsman is scheduled to join us on television tonight.
And I'll tell you, it is the vetting failure is spectacular.
And it's been a ticking time bomb from day one.
Appreciate both of you.
Thank you, Greg Jarrett.
Thank you, John Solomon.
Great work.
As always, 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program.
World Inspired Solutions for America.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Oh, by the way, did you hear, Linda, the exchange, Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife, has her new podcast out that she had with Abby Phillips over at Fake News CNN?
Listen to this.
Frontest is actually a hit.
He literally is not a good person.
That is a different thing.
You have to have her well on your show.
And you've never pushed back.
Hold on.
My husband, a white nationalist.
Hold on.
That is no different than Nick Fuentes going on Chucker Carl.
It's not, and you should admit it.
Hold on.
Wait, hold on.
How is it anything similar?
It's not remotely similar at all.
Nick Fuentes sits around and says that he likes Hitler.
How is that similar?
What does she have to do with it?
What does she have to do?
Hold on.
She is nothing but Scott.
Katie is the person who just said to me that it is comparable to say that Nick Fuentes, who is literally a neo-Nazi, is the same as somebody, a liberal who has an opinion who is not a neo-Nazi.
They are not hateful opinions.
How do you want, excuse me, let's go back to the same thing.
They are not an opinion on his show.
It is not.
And they didn't push back the same way you didn't push back when someone called someone in my family.
Hold on a second.
It's not different.
Hold on a second.
Do you believe my opinion?
I don't think Nazi you laugh.
Do you think those things are different or not?
I don't believe that.
I don't think anybody around me is.
So listen, Nick Fuentes.
I just think that you are talking about two things that are not in any way the same.
The thing is, is they have called Stephen Miller a fascist and a Nazi.
And, you know, let me tell you what the media would love to do if they can.
There's not one person listening to this program right now, not one of you that would ever care about the thoughts of some insane person that praises Adolf Hitler.
Not one.
And, but the media would love to make that the poster child of the MAGA movement and of conservatism in general.
It is not.
And other extremist voices, they are not.
And the idea that this is what they would paint with that broad a brush is insane.
But that's what they're trying to do.
Now, Stephen Miller is a serious conservative.
He's a MAGA conservative.
He's not a fascist.
He's not a Nazi.
They don't like his position on the borders.
They don't like his position on immigration.
They don't like how outspoken he is.
And they don't like that he and his wife are both capable of absolutely embarrassing the hell out of them whenever they show up on these idiotic programs that not many people are watching.
And that's what it comes down to.
They would love to make to pick out a few of the most fringe people.
They're all over the internet.
These keyboard warriors.
I don't care if they claim to be conservative or liberal.
They sit there in their mom and dad's basement anonymously in most cases.
And yeah, they just say whatever they want to try to get the most reaction.
And people think that that world is real.
That world is not real.
It is, it's, it's imagination.
It's noise.
And to be very honest, it's, it's in many ways become toxic and like cancer for so many people.
I mean, young people are devastated because of what a comment that some idiot might make about them online.
Don't pay attention to it.
Linda, if I wanted to feel bad today, how long would it take me if I had access to my accounts, which I don't?
How long would it take me on one of these social media platforms to find out how horrible I am, how dumb I am, how ugly I am, et cetera?
I don't know if that's a fair question because you did have a hate-hannity line.
So I think your tolerance may be a little higher than most, but putting that to the side pretty fast.
I have immunity at the highest level.
I don't care about any of these people.
I just don't.
But I mean, it's pretty easy.
People are sick and they say gross stuff.
Is there any conservative that you know of, any thoughtful, prominent conservative that would praise Adolf Hitler?
No.
No.
There you go.
It's just a talking point and it's worked.
And so they stick to it.
But the left wants to make that the poster child of the MAGA movement, of conservatism.
It is not.
It is fake news.
It is a phony narrative.
The left knows it, but they don't care.
And anybody in this day and age can have their own show.
You just get a microphone, you get on YouTube, you get on Rumble, you get on X, and you're a talk show host.
I predicted this many years ago.
By the time it's all said and done, everybody's going to have their own talk show, except they're not going to be responsible.
By the way, how'd your Thanksgiving work out?
How many people picked up the doggy bag?
I didn't ask you.
You know what?
I ran out of bags.
There were so many.
They were lined up.
They were like, you know what?
She's a conservative, but we like the turkey.
So they came anyway.
It was fine.
Come on.
How many people, you did not set one bag out on your doorstep and give it away to a relative that you refused to let in your house.
You did not set up a lie.
Just a couple.
You know what?
No.
It was a mutual understanding.
I'm calling out fake news.
You did not doggy bag.
I said, you know, listen.
It's like the song.
You know, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
You know, you can't eat here, but you can pick up your food.
It's fine.
And I had the perfect Thanksgiving meme, which I got from our friend Mark Simone, which said, happy Thanksgiving.
And then it had a pumpkin pie with pecans on it.
And it said Trump won.
It was great.
I sent it to everybody.
It was so much fun.
Did you leave a single doggy bag on your steps?
Only three.
You're lying.
You are so full of Adam Schiff.
You're not telling the truth.
You're lying.
I'm telling the truth.
Only three.
Linda did not leave three doggy bags for liberal relatives because she wouldn't let them in the house.
You did not.
And I wrapped the turkey in foil as well, just to keep it hot.
It was very cold on Thanksgiving here.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm calling complete.
How was your tomahawk?
Was your tomahawk good?
It was awesome.
Loved it.
I thought of you.
George in Florida.
What's up, George?
How are you?
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
Happy belated Thanksgiving.
And I just calling to say this.
Thanks you for your program.
You're one of how important it is, especially this year of just keeping our politicians accountable.
And I think y'all and Linda and Katie are doing a great job.
And I appreciate all you've done.
And just keep up that great work.
I think we just got to keep working on that an alternative media.
Keep growing that alternative media, Sean.
I think I was just listening to you and Linda talking about the media of how one-sided they are.
And we just need to keep all alternative.
It reminded me of a time when the March for Life had a million people marching and the media picked out this Covington boys and he talked about this group of boys because they were the way they were perceived and they tried to destroy that.
And that's how the media works.
They pick out that one little thing, Sean, and they just dwell on something and it is not true.
And they move on to something else.
And so thank you for just bringing just standing in that gap, Sean.
The saddest thing that happened over the holiday is this one woman who lost her life.
I talked to the mother of this National Guard, Anthony is his name, and he's fighting for dear life.
Hopefully she'll be able to join us tonight on TV.
And, you know, how do you think their Thanksgiving was?
I just couldn't get it out of my head the whole time, to be very blunt with you.
I found it very, very disturbing.
This is the one thing that I've been warning would happen that I wanted to be wrong about.
This is the one thing I hoped I'd be wrong about.
And I played it earlier.
I won't go back and play it now.
All these people kept telling us, no, no, no, these people are vetted.
They weren't vetted.
They didn't have time to vet them.
It was so chaotic the way they got out.
And they even abandoned Americans behind enemy lines.
We started counting them down.
And never mind, there were people legitimately that needed our help.
Didn't necessarily mean that we were going to give them access and citizenship and a place to live in the U.S. without vetting them.
It's sad.
Anyway, I appreciate the call, my friend.
All right, quick break right back to our phones.
Our toll-free number is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Hannity, tonight, 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
We got a lot of ground to catch up on and cover.
Also, the mother of one of the guardsmen that was shot.
He's now clinging to life.
We'll get an update on his condition and her thoughts on all these unvetted Afghans that were let into the country that we were assured were vetted.
They weren't.
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.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941-Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Nevada, Phil, Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, Dawn Radio.
What's up?
Phil, how are you?
I'm doing good.
Thanks for taking my call.
Something's been bugging me for a while.
And this kind of did the trick for me where these two guardsmen were killed and everybody's blaming it on them that they were killed because they were there.
And then you got the Hamas hiding people under hospitals.
I had a friend that was in Vietnam.
He volunteered to go.
He was there for a couple of years.
He was put on.
By the way, just so you know, one of the guardsmen is still fighting for their life.
I talked to the mother last night.
By the way, and she wants all of our love and our thoughts and our prayers.
And it's my pleasure, you know, to pass that on to people.
Please pray for Anthony that he makes a recovery.
She said he's made remarkable strides considering the severity of the injury.
That's good to hear.
It's really good to hear.
So, you know, my friend went to Vietnam.
He volunteered.
He was there for a couple of years.
He was put on guard duty for an off-base activity.
And he watched about 100 feet away or so, these two men hand a six or seven year old kid a grenade and then point it towards the soldiers.
And this kid was running at him.
He spoke a little bit of Vietnamese, was running at him saying that he had a present for the soldiers.
That put my friend in a really bad situation, and he had to make a choice, and he made the choice.
The child was dead anyway.
So he had to make the choice to shoot this little kid.
He got home.
I mean, we tasked these people and put them in the most unbelievable positions.
Do you remember the case where a commander, I believe, was arrested and we championed this case, Linda.
You might remember his name.
And there was a motorcycle.
He had just become the head of a unit and the previous head had been killed in an attack.
And somebody, you know, passed a roadblock and was on a motorcycle.
And he had to decide in a split second whether or not that guy was a suicide bomber or not.
He made the decision to protect his troops.
And then he, why do I think, was this the Lawrence case?
Which case was that, Linda?
Do you remember?
It was Clint Lawrence.
He's actually now an attorney.
Well, good for him.
But, and he went through hell.
And how do we second-guess guys?
He is tasked with protecting his troops.
We're not there.
We're not on the ground.
And we're second-guessing these guys.
And he's got lives hanging in the balance here.
And I just find it so inappropriate to be second-guessing guys on the battlefield whose lives are in jeopardy.
I'm second-guessing us, our side, I guess, for going in and taking people out of the country that are here illegally, for Israel having to bomb a hospital because there's a Hamas base underneath.
Who's responsible for those deaths?
It's not Israel.
They're saving their own lives.
It's not these guardsmen that are responsible for this guy shooting them.
We got to put the blame where it belongs.
We were told, just like the border's closed, the border's secured.
No, all these Afghans have been vetted.
They lied to us.
They lied.
And now we have one dead guardsman and one clinging to life.
Thank you very much, Joe.
Thank you, Kamala.
Thank you, Majorkis.
That's on them and all the people that lied.
Gansaki, Circleback, and the rest of them.
Listen, I know some of you are still struggling.
You have the Biden-Harris economic hangover.
Look, we have the building blocks for a great economy.
Things are changing.
Things are slowly getting better.
But a lot of people, you know, a lot of what President Trump has been able to negotiate, get online and pass just does Because you don't snap your fingers and it gets into the economic bloodstream, and people now feel the improvement dramatically.
I think that'll happen as we head into the second and third quarter next year for sure.
But if you're in that situation, we expect one more rate drop before the end of this year.
