Greg Jarrett joins Mark Simone to dissect President Trump's strategic AG replacement, Robert Mueller's alleged bias in the Russia collusion fiction, and Justice Jackson's territorial jurisdiction errors. The discussion covers the Dred Scott miscarriage of justice, Tiger Woods' pain-medication DUI plea, and Trump's Operation Epic Fury claims of a destroyed Iranian military, 45,000 dead protesters, and oil independence via Venezuela. Ultimately, these segments frame current legal and geopolitical shifts as evidence of systemic corruption and decisive executive action against perceived enemies. [Automatically generated summary]
Normally I'm on our big flagship in New York, W-O-R.
Also now the home of Curtis Sleaway.
He's on every morning with us.
And Linda, you used to work with Curtis, right?
I did indeed.
Great guy.
I also used to work with you.
Yes, she said it was the high point of her.
It was.
Indeed.
That's why I keep bringing you back.
I miss you.
I yelled at her once.
And now for the last 25 years, she's been yelling at me nonstop.
So see how things change.
Hey, Greg Jarrett is the best legal analyst of all, Fox News legal analyst, New York Times bestselling author.
In fact, you want a great book?
Go to Amazon, type in Greg Jarrett and order any of his books.
You'll really, really love them.
And, of course, you'll see them all over television.
Greg Jarrett, how are you?
Good to be with you.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
Hey, Pam Bondi, what do you think?
What went wrong there?
Well, Trump had nothing but praise for Pam Bondi, stating she did a tremendous job cracking down on crime, prosecuting violent offenders, upholding law and order.
And, you know, all of that was a chief goal of the president.
And that is her richly deserved legacy.
You know, Trump called her a loyal friend.
He thinks very highly of her.
So this was not Mark.
You know, one of those acrimonious splits that, you know, often happens in administrations.
I think Trump saw this as an opportunity to do a couple of things.
First, turn the corner on the whole Epstein ordeal, because, you know, right or wrong, Bondi was associated with the slow disclosures that were criticized.
Second of all, I think Trump saw this as a way to jumpstart some of the corruption cases against those who weaponized the law and.
Abuse their power to pursue him.
And everything from the Russia hoax, and I wrote two books on that, to the specious criminal indictments against Trump to stop him from winning elections.
Sometimes new leadership and a fresh perspective is needed at the top.
And I'm pretty sure the president decided let's move now on this, make a change now, and advance to the midterm elections to avoid a confirmation fight if Democrats.
Retake the U.S. Senate.
So it was well thought out, and that's my sense of it.
Very interesting.
Hey, let me get sidetracked for a second here.
You did write the best books on the Russia hoax.
When Mueller died, Trump tweeted out, Good, I'm glad, you know, and everybody on the media went crazy.
You can't speak that way about a war hero, a Bronze Star winner.
What's the truth about Mueller?
Where did he go wrong at the end?
Well, I think he should.
I wrote a column after Mueller passed away and came out last week.
And, you know, I think he made some egregious errors.
He had a fairly commendable career in government.
And, you know, we should respect that.
Although there were a couple of cases as a prosecutor and also at the FBI where he did enormous damage and made incredibly bad decisions.
Errors.
But when it came to the whole Trump Russia collusion conspiracy, Mueller should never have accepted the job.
He had disqualifying multiple conflicts of interest.
He was hyper biased.
And he hired a team of partisan prosecutors who were obsessed with Trump and abused their positions of power to try to get Trump.
In the end, they failed because there was never any evidence, as I wrote in both my books, of Trump Russia collusion.
It was all a fiction that was conjured up by Hillary Clinton, paid for by Clinton.
And Obama and Biden and James Comey and John Brennan and the whole gang were all in on it.
And they used the phony dossier as a pretext to try to destroy Trump and drive him from office.
Mueller should have been investigating them.
But then, you know, when we found out during his, you know, congressional testimony after his report came out that he didn't know anything about what had actually happened, the people behind the Russia hoax, it became abundantly clear that this guy was suffering from some sort of diminished mental acuity, and he didn't even know what was in his own report.
And, you know, it was sort of sad.
Yeah.
Well, that's the new Democratic technique.
Find a guy with mental diminishment.
You do what you want and put that guy in charge.
Supreme Court Oral Arguments00:05:34
Hey, let's get to the Supreme Court.
The president attends the oral arguments yesterday.
And sure enough, there's all the media saying it was totally inappropriate for him to be there.
He was trying to intimidate them.
What's the real truth?
Well, that's utter nonsense because the president was a named party in the litigation, and that automatically makes him eligible to be invited and attend the oral arguments.
I watched, I listened in.
You can never watch unless you're there in person.
But I listened in to the oral arguments yesterday, and what struck me is that John Sauer really made a very persuasive, credible argument.
He backed it by historical facts.
The authors of the 14th Amendment never intended to grant universal citizenship to children of parents who broke the law coming here fraudulently or illegally.
But it didn't seem to matter to the justices that those who wrote the 14th Amendment did not mean to include illegal migrants.
One of the authors of the amendment.
Stood on the floor of the Senate, Jacob Howard, and said, This will not include persons born in the U.S. who are foreigners and aliens.
Instead of paying attention to that very logical history lesson, these justices seem skeptical and wary of dramatically altering a century of government interpretation.
Interpretation, by the way, that was horribly mistaken from the outset.
So, as I wrote in my column yesterday about the hearing, you know, this may be one of those instances in which a long-established norm and the complexity of reversing it is just too much of an obstacle for a majority of the justices on the court, which is a shame.
Yeah.
Hey, this Kentanji Brown Jackson, a bit of a nitwit, if I do say so myself, but listen to this argument she tried to make, which made no sense at all.
If I steal someone's wallet in Japan.
The Japanese authorities can't arrest me and prosecute me.
It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law?
I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to, you know, under Japanese law, go and prosecute the person who has stolen it.
So there's this relationship based on, even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense.
Was there any merit to that argument?
And should she be on this court?
None whatsoever.
And, you know, I wish there had been a camera in the Supreme Court because I'm pretty certain that a lot of the justices were rolling their eyes and shaking their heads when she uttered that nonsense.
You know, I listened to that and I said to myself, how does she manage to think with that brain of hers?
Really confounding.
What she did.
Was conflate two well known principles of law and politics.
There's a difference between territorial jurisdiction and political jurisdiction.
She was talking about, with this silly analogy, territorial jurisdiction.
You have to follow criminal and civil law wherever you are located in whatever country.
But political jurisdiction is allegiance to the United States and no other foreign.
Power, but she doesn't understand, you know, a basic legal concept as if she, you know, slept through law school.
And, you know, as far as I'm concerned, she has no business being on the bench and certainly not in the nation's highest court.
Have we ever had this happen before where you had a bubblehead and just on there for a million years on the Supreme Court?
Well, not in recent modern history, not in my lifetime, but we've had some pretty hideous.
Supreme Court justices over the last two and a half centuries, particularly those who authored the Dred Scott opinion, which was one of the greatest, probably the greatest miscarriages of justice ever issued by the U.S. Supreme Court, and a disgrace and a shame.
Yeah.
Now, why do we have I've never understood this process.
We have the oral hearing, oral arguments.
We're not going to have a decision until the summer.
Why do we have to wait so long?
Well, they go into conference afterwards, after the oral arguments, and they usually have a discussion.
They may take an initial vote.
Then they have to assign it out to whoever is going to write the opinion and figure out all of that.
But there's more that goes on.
Waiting for Summer Decisions00:15:15
I mean, I think the feeling, as I wrote in my column, is that Trump's going to lose.
But that's not a certainty because behind closed doors, there's there's a lot of lobbying that goes on among the justices and, in fact, among their clerks who are very active in shaping opinions.
And there have been a couple of very famous historical Supreme Court cases in which, you know, the initial vote was like, you know, 7 to 2 or 8 to 1, and it completely flipped the other way around because of the conversations and the lobbying that took place.
You know, you can never really tell.
Interesting.
Well, Greg Jarrett, great stuff as always.
Everybody go read his columns, foxnews.com, and go to Amazon and order any of Greg Jarrett's books.
You'll love them.
In fact, one of the best legal books ever, Trial of the Century.
And of course, the Russia hoax and Witch Hunt and all the.
But anything by Greg Jarrett, just go to Amazon and order his books.
Read his columns.
Greg Jarrett, thanks for being with us.
Mark, always fun talking to you.
Thanks for having me on.
Take care.
Hey, we'll take some calls next.
800 941 Sean is the number.
800 941 Sean.
Mark Simone here.
Hey, make sure you follow me on Instagram.
Go to Mark Simone NYC at Instagram.
Mark Simone NYC at Instagram.
And check out Hannity.com.
Always great stories there.
Watch Hannity tonight, 9 o'clock, Fox News Channel.
We'll take your calls next on The Sean Hannity Show.
Chucky Schumer is sure upset because we want to see where the money went.
Where's the money?
Maybe we should start with him.
How about it, Chucky?
Where is the dough?
Sean Hannity.
Welcome back.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Tiger Woods, well, so they're releasing the body cam footage of Tiger Woods, the DUI arrest.
He doesn't look that bad.
He's sweating.
You can tell this guy's been through a lot of car crashes.
Normally, if you're in a big car crash, you'd be totally shaken up.
This guy, it's like it's just another week for him.
But he says to the cop, he was trying to, he looked down at his phone.
That was the problem.
Now, there's another cop that said, the Tiger said to him, I was trying to change the radio.
I looked down.
He blamed that for the crash.
So I think we should find out who this radio host is.
Had he been doing a better show and Tiger had not wanted to change the station, this crash would not have occurred.
Yeah, here's the problem.
If you got a brand new car, and I assume he's got a brand new car, you know, it used to be buttons.
The radio was buttons.
You push a knob, a button, and you want to do stuff, you turn a knob.
Well, now it's all digital and it's all on the screen.
So you can't just reach your hand down and feel it.
You know, you used to be able to feel the buttons.
Now, you got to actually look down and look at the screen.
And to have to look at the screen and push it and tap it takes a little more time.
So it's not the safest thing in the world.
Now, in the case of Tiger Woods, he was on all kinds of pain medication.
He took a breathalyzer at the scene and passed it with flying colors.
So there was no alcohol in his system, but a lot of medication.
You can't drive with that stuff.
The side effects are brutal.
Now, he's been in tremendous pain from all these injuries.
That's why he's got to take this stuff.
But it's like a catch 22.
He gets injured in a car crash and is in such pain he has to take this medication, which gets him into another car crash, which means he's got to take even more medication.
You know, when it's your third, fourth time, you're going to jail.
The judge is not going to have all the high powered lawyers, all this stuff.
You go to jail when it's your third or fourth one.
But he's made a deal with the court.
They've let him leave the country.
He's going to go into rehab, go into intense rehab.
And he's gotten permission to leave the country to do it.
He's going to another country to do this rehab.
This does a couple of things.
One, if you do it long enough, you make it sound like the problem is totally cured.
It's solved once and for all.
That way, the judge doesn't have to send you to jail.
And the other thing is, if you leave the country for a long time, hopefully all the press dies down, all the commotion dies down.
He's made it clear he's not going to play in the Masters.
He was going to be the captain of the Ryder Cup golf tournament.
He's withdrawn from that.
And a lot of people blaming, you know, why doesn't he get a driver?
He's a billionaire.
Why doesn't he have a driver?
He says it's about privacy.
He's also known as the biggest cheapskate in the world.
Could be that, too.
But privacy, who knows what he's really up to?
Who knows?
Maybe that's why he can't have a driver seeing everything.
Hey, the president's speech last night.
We'll take a look at that.
I'll listen to that coming up.
Mark Simone here for Sean.
You can always count on.
Sean Hannity is back on the radio.
Hey, Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Last night, the president, people had been pushing him a lot.
You got to do a primetime address to the nation.
You need to speak from the Oval Office.
He doesn't like speaking from the Oval Office.
He doesn't like sitting at a desk for the speech.
It doesn't look right.
He likes standing up with a podium.
But they were pushing for this.
And, you know, I don't know.
Obviously, way back then, in the good old days, an address from the Oval Office, primetime address.
Man, 90 million people would see it.
It's not the same anymore.
Primetime network television, nobody watches it anymore.
I know you can catch up on YouTube and this and that, but not everybody sees it.
So I thought we'd take a listen to it.
First, let me just point out before you hear this, the left went nuts.
This drove them nuts.
Schumer tweeting out it's the most incoherent, rambling, ridiculous speech ever.
Nobody knew what he was talking about.
You have Joe Scarborough?
Listen to Joe Scarborough, what he actually said about this speech.
John, let me ask you.
You just said he only thought this would be a conflict that would last a couple of days, a week or two.
Who does that sound like?
Vladimir Putin going into Ukraine?
See, we live in the age of asymmetrical warfare.
The age of asymmetrical warfare where weaker countries may not be able to prevail outright, but they can bleed.
I'm getting a headache from him.
He's giving me a headache, that guy.
So there you go.
It was supposed to last a couple of days.
You know, World War II was three years.
Vietnam was 19 years.
We're now in an age where two and a half weeks?
What's taking so long for this war?
Well, that's why I thought you should listen to it for yourself.
I thought it was pretty coherent.
We don't need an explanation why we're there.
It's the worst terrorist regime in the world, the biggest threat in the world.
That's why we're there.
But take a listen.
Here's the president last night speaking to the nation.
My fellow Americans, good evening.
Let me begin by congratulating the team at NASA.
And our brave astronauts on the successful launch of Artemis II.
It was quite something.
It will be traveling further than any manned rocket has ever flown and will very substantially pass the moon, go around it, and come back home from a distance that has never been done before.
It's amazing.
They are on the way, and God bless them.
These are brave people.
We want to God bless those four unbelievable astronauts.
As we speak this evening, it's been just one month since the United States military began Operation Epic Fury, targeting the world's number one state sponsor of terror, Iran.
In these past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield, victories like few people have ever seen before.
Tonight, Iran's Navy is gone, their air forces in ruins.
Their leaders, most of them, terrorist regime they led, are now dead.
Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak.
Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed, and their weapons, factories, and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces, very few of them left.
Never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating large-scale losses in a matter of weeks.
Our enemies are losing, and America, as it has been for five years under my presidency, is winning and now winning bigger than ever before.
Before discussing this current situation, I also want to thank our troops for the masterful job they did in taking the country of Venezuela in a matter of minutes.
That it was quick, lethal, violent, and respected by everyone all over the world.
After rebuilding our military during my first term, we have by far the strongest military anywhere in the world.
And now we're working along with Venezuela and are, in a true sense, joint venture partners.
We're getting along incredibly well in the production and sale of massive amounts of oil and gas, the second largest reserves on earth after the United States of America.
We're now totally independent of the Middle East, and yet we are there to help.
We don't have to be there.
We don't need their oil.
We don't need anything they have, but we're there to help our allies.
Tonight, I want to provide an update on the tremendous progress our warriors have made in Iran and discuss why Operation Epic Fury is necessary for the safety of America and the security of the free world.
From the very first day I announced my campaign for president in 2015, I have vowed that I would never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
This fanatical regime has been chanting death to America, death to Israel for 47 years.
Their proxies were behind the murder of 241 Americans in the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, the slaughter of hundreds of our service members with roadside bombs.
They were involved in the attack on the USS Cole.
And they carried out the countless other heinous acts, including the blood, just horrible, bloody atrocities of October 7th in Israel, something that most people have never seen anything like it.
This murderous regime also recently killed 45,000 of their own people who were protesting in Iran.
45,000 dead.
For these terrorists to have nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat.
The most violent and thuggish regime on earth would be free to carry out their campaigns of terror, coercion, conquest, and mass murder from behind a nuclear shield.
I will never let that happen, and neither should any of our past presidents.
This situation has been going on for 47 years and should have been handled long before I arrived in office.
I did many things during my two terms in office to stop the quest for nuclear weapons by Iran first, and perhaps most importantly, I killed General Qasem Soleimani in my first term.
He was an evil genius, a brilliant person, a horrible human being, however, the father of the roadside bomb, and he lived.
Just horrible what he did.
Iran would have been perhaps in a far better, stronger position.
Had he lived, we would have had probably a different conversation tonight.
But you know what?
We'd still be winning and winning big.
And then, very importantly, I terminated Barack Hussein Obama's Iran nuclear deal, a disaster.
Obama gave them $1.7 billion in cash, green, green cash.
Took it out of banks from Virginia, D.C., and Maryland, all the cash they had.
He flew it by airplanes in an attempt to buy their respect and loyalty, but it didn't work.
They laughed at our president and went on with their mission to have a nuclear bomb.
His Iran deal would have led to a colossal arsenal of massive nuclear weapons for Iran.
They would have had them years ago, and they would have used them.
It would have been a different world.
There would have been no Middle East and no Israel right now, in my opinion, the opinion of a lot of great experts, had I not terminated that terrible deal.
I was so honored to do it.
I was so proud to do it.
It was so bad right from the beginning.
Essentially, I did what no other president was willing to do.
They made mistakes, and I am correcting them.
My first preference was always the path of diplomacy, yet the regime continued their relentless quest for nuclear weapons and rejected every attempt at an agreement.
For this reason, in June, I ordered a strike on Iran's key nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
Those beautiful B-2 bombers performed magnificently.
We totally obliterated those nuclear sites.
The regime then sought to rebuild their nuclear program at a totally different location, making clear they had no intention of abandoning their pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Obliterating Nuclear Sites00:05:14
They were also rapidly building a vast stockpile of conventional ballistic missiles and would soon have had missiles that could reach the American homeland, Europe, and virtually any other place on Earth.
Iran's strategy was so obvious.
They wanted to produce as many missiles as possible, and they did, with the longest range possible, and they had some weapons that nobody believed they had.
We just learned that out.
We took them out, we took them all out so that no one would really dare stop them.
And their race for a nuclear bomb, a nuclear weapon, a nuclear weapon like nobody's ever seen before, they were right at the doorstep.
For years, everyone has said that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, but in the end, Those are just words if you're not willing to take action when the time comes.
As I stated in my announcement of Operation Epic Fury, our objectives are very simple and clear.
We are systematically dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America or project power outside of their borders.
That means eliminating Iran's Navy, which is now absolutely destroyed, hurting their Air Force and their missile program at levels never seen before.
And annihilating their defense industrial base.
We've done all of it.
Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their missiles are just about used up or beaten.
Taken together, these actions will cripple Iran's military, crush their ability to support terrorist proxies, and deny them the ability to build a nuclear bomb.
Our armed forces have been extraordinary.
There's never been anything like it militarily.
Everyone is talking about it, and tonight I'm pleased to say that.
These core strategic objectives are nearing completion.
As we celebrate this progress, we think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in this fight to prevent our children from ever having to face a nuclear Iran.
Twice this past month, I have traveled to Dover Air Force Base, and it's been something.
I wanted to be with those heroes as they return to American soil, and I was with them and their families, their parents, their wives. the husbands.
We salute them and now we must honor them by completing the mission for which they gave their lives and every single one of the people, their loved ones said, please, sir, please finish the job, every one of them.
And we are going to finish the job and we're going to finish it very fast.
We're getting very close.
I want to thank our allies in the Middle East, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
They've been great, and we will not let them get hurt or fail in any way, shape, or form.
Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home.
This short term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict.
This is yet more proof that Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons.
They will use them, and they will use them quickly.
It would lead to decades of extortion, economic pain, and instability worse than we can ever imagine.
The United States has never been better prepared economically to confront this threat.
You all know that.
We built the strongest economy in history.
We're going through it right now, the strongest in history.
In one year, we've taken a dead and crippled country.
I hate to say that, but we were a dead and crippled country after the last administration and made it the hottest country anywhere in the world by far with no inflation, record setting investments coming into the United States over $18 trillion, and the highest stock market ever.
With 53 all time record highs in just one year.
It all positioned us to get rid of a cancer that has long simmered.
It's known as the nuclear Iran, and they didn't know what was coming.
They've never imagined it.
Remember, because of our drill baby drill program, America has plenty of gas.
We have so much gas.
Under my leadership, we are number one producer of oil and gas on the planet without even discussing the millions of barrels that we're getting from Venezuela.
Because of the Trump administration's policies, we produce more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.
Think of that.
That's pretty amazing.
Well, that's most of the president's speech last night.
I thought it was fine.
I thought it was clear.
Let's go to the biggest critic ever, Linda.
It was pretty good, wasn't it?
Anything President Trump does is good.
Trump's A-Plus Speech00:00:25
The fact that he takes the time to talk to the American people makes him A plus in my book.
Yeah, so don't go by Chuck Schumer, who, if you read his tweet, it was the most incoherent, rambling, awful.
It was fine.
He forgot he was listening to a recording of himself.
