Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to the Sean Hannity radio show podcast. All right, glad you has a lot of breaking news right now. So far, apparently the Judiciary Committee has not heard back from Professor Ford, and there's some questions is to whether they said they were going to testify. She is gonna testify. Grassly said, well, then Judge Kavanaugh might not be going back next Monday. We'll give you the latest on that. Also, I have so much information to share with you as it relates to a huge, massive double standard. Will get to all of that. We have new UH text messages that are really bombshell, the president's decision that he will unclassify and UH send out unredacted versions of the FISA warrant applications against Carter Page that everybody needs to see, and the three O two's as it relates to Bruce Or and Christopher Steele, all of the fifty thousand text messages emails between Oh, let's see Struck and Page, but also Comey and McCabe and Or and Christopher Steel. It's all coming out. Isn't that interesting? The only one that's having a connection about it, and a meltdown about it is Adam Shift, I predict is going to be proven to be liar. Shift alright, But first, the President now is with the president of Poland, President Tuda as he now is talking about a number of things, especially Judge Kavanaugh. Let's listen in John Dekker a Fox Plus. Thank you, Mr President. Two questions for you, one on Judge Kavanaugh and also one on trade. On Judge Kavanall, yesterday you said we want to go through a full process. He said, we want to make sure everything is perfect, everything is just right to that end, what would be the problem with the FBI reopening their background investigation into Judge Kavanaugh. Would you support such a thing other than the FBI? John said that they really don't do that. That's not what they do. And now they have done supposedly six background checks over the years. As Judge Kavanaugh has gone beautifully up a ladder. He's an incredible individual, great intellect, great judge, impeccable history in every way. In every way, I feel so badly for him that he's going through this. To be honest with you, I feel so badly for him. This is not a man that deserves this. This should have been brought to the four. It should have been brought up long ago. And that's what you have hearings for. You don't wait till the hearing is over and then all of a sudden bring it up. When Senator to Feinstein sad with the Judge Kavanaugh for a long period of time, a long long meeting, she had this letter, why didn't she bring it up? Why didn't she bring it up? Then? Why didn't the Democrats bring it up? Then? Because they obstruct and because they resist. That's the name of their campaign against me. They just resist and they just obstruct. Then. Frankly, I think they're lousy on policy, and in many ways they are a lousy politicians, but they're very good on obstruction. And it's a shame because this is a great gentleman. With all of that, I feel that the Republicans, and I can speak for myself, we should go through a process because there shouldn't even be a little doubt. They shouldn't be a doubt. Again, they knew what they were doing. They should have done this a long time ago, three months ago, not now, But they did it now. So I don't want to play into their hands. Hopefully, the woman will come forward state her case, He will state his case before representatives of the United States Senate, and then they will they will look at his career, they will look at what she had to say from thirty six years ago, and we will see what happens. But I just think he is at a level that we rarely see, not only in government, anywhere in life. And honestly, I feel terribly for him, for his wife, who was an incredible, lovely woman, and for his beautiful young daughters. I feel terribly for them. One on trade, Mr President, you announced new trade terroffts against China. Trade terrorists are very important part of your economic and trade policy. In your first year in office, the US trade deficit increased by and last month we saw the trade deficit increase to I believe it was seventy two billion dollars. So my question to you, is your trade terrorist policy working? What would you started? We didn't do anything with respect to China because we wanted to have the benefit of China having to do with North Korea, and they have been helpful. I hope they're still helpful. There's a question about that. But it got to a point where the numbers were too big. This should have been done for the last twenty years. If you look at the w t O, the World Trade Organization, that's when China really happened economically. That's it was like a rocket ship because they took advantage of the rules of the w t O. And whoever we're standing at this podium, in this incredible white house in the Oval Office, they should have done something about this long ago. Over the last number of years, China has taken out of this country five hundred billion dollars and more a year, five hundred billion dollars. That would go a long way for Poland wouldn't it rebuild your whole country? And that's what China did. They rebuilt their country with tremendous amounts of money pouring out of the United States. And I've changed that around. And if you look at what's going on, our market is going up like a rocket ship. I don't want their market to go down, but their market is down three months because we can't let them do anymore what they've done. And I watched trade deficits because to me, deficits are very important. They're not everything, and they're not exact. Sometimes you can have an you know, a deficit, and that's not such a bad thing. But when you have three d seventy billion dollars in trade deficits and then many billions of dollars in other liabilities of all different types, you have to do something about it. We are the piggy bank to the world. We've been ripped off by China. We've been ripped off by excuse me, Mr President, the European Union, of which you're a part of. We've been ripped off by everybody. And I want to protect the American worker, the American farmer, the ranchers, the companies, and we're not being ripped off. You will see in a little while. Speaking of that, we've come to a conclusion with Mexico. We have a wonderful deal for both parties. There's a very one sided deal. Now it's a good deal for both parties. Very happy with it. Um the new president had conversation and it was terrific. I think we're gonna have a very good relationship. We'll see, we'll see. We want help on the border because we have the worst immigration laws and the history of mankind or womankind. We have horrible, horrible immigration laws. So we want help, but we've come to a conclusion with Mexico. Canada has taken advantage of our country for a long time. We love Canada, we love it. I love the people of Canada, but they are in a position that's not a good position for Canada. They cannot continue to charge us three tariff on dairy products, and that's what they're doing. So there's a process. It takes a little time. The European Union wouldn't talk to us, They wouldn't talk to President Obama, wouldn't even talk to him. And then I said, that's okay, you don't have to talk to me. Jean Claude is a tough man. He's a very good man. I like him, but he's tough, he's nasty. That's the kind of guy I want negotiating for me. But he's a tough, tough cookie. And I said to him, we have to renegotiate the deal. He said, but Mr President, we are very happy with the deal. We don't want to negotiate. I said, you may be happy with the deal, but I'm not happy with the deal. And he didn't want to renegotiate. And after three times he still didn't want to renegotiate. I said, that's okay. We don't have to renegotia ye any longer. We're going to put a tariff on all of the millions of cars you sent into the United States. And honestly, who was in my office so quickly from Europe that I didn't know they had airplanes that flew that fast? I said, where did you find this plane? And we have the semblance of a deal because it's to a large extent economically all about cars. Cars is a very big factor, and they sent millions of BMWs and Mercedes into our country. So, uh, we are working on trade very hard. It's very important to me. It has been for thirty years. I've been saying for thirty years. Started with Japan. I talked about Japan. I was right, I talked about China. I was right. That's what I do, and I like doing it. But I like doing it for the people because our country has been abused and taken advantage of by virtually every country that it does business with, and we're just not letting that happen anymore. And that includes what I said previously about the military. Please President Duda. President Duda, welcome back to the us UH as it relates to US EU relations. As the President mentioned, you are a proud Poland is a proud member of the European Union. How would you describe U S E relations right now? Did you talk about improving that relationship? Did you carry a special message to the president from Mr Younger? Sir? Alright, that's the president of Paul Wow, the president on fire on trade and America has been ripped off. What's really fascinating. And I've said this, and I've actually argued with some of my conservative brethren about the President's position on trade. I don't think he wants a trade war with anybody. I just you don't think about this, whether you're negotiating with NATO in terms of we pay seventy two cents of every dollar, or you're negotiating a better trade deal with Mexico and Canada and the European Union. Um, how far do you think you're gonna get if you say, let it look, we really need to redo this. Uh buh buh, it's not gonna work. The only way that you're gonna get a better deal is you've got to act like you're willing to have a trade war. And once they see that. So far the response has been positive and they start renegotiating because there is a lot of truth to it. I mean, it's sad when you think of our European allies in particular, and we bear the burden of costs for protecting them, and then we're just asking them to pay their share of GDP. We're paying nearly four percent GDP about three and a half a little over three and a half percent, and then countries like Germany not only are they not paying their fair share, you know, under two percent, but then they end up doing deals, you know, making RuSHA rich again and making billions and billions of dollars in and energy deals with Russia. It is stupid because all that's doing is strengthening the main enemy that they're worried about for Europe, and that is Putin and they're now putting you know, seventy of their economy, the lifeblood of their economy is energy, and they're getting in from somebody that is not stable in a hostile regime. It's not smart as far as China goes. My prediction is they're gonna come to the table, just like Canada is now at the table, and they're gonna make a deal. That's my prediction. All right. We've got a lot of breaking news. UH Senate Democrats now, Um, there's something going on that I can't quite put my finger on as it relates to UH Professor Ford. Apparently she's not willing to testify and not accepting the invitation, and Stone walling a little bit on the invitation to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. UH Senator Astley saying he's not gotten an answer yet, and more importantly that Judge Kavanaugh may not even be called back if she doesn't want to go forward. There's something I don't know what it is. Something is off here. I'm not gonna speculate, because there's no point. We're gonna find out in the day's ahead. So we'll get to all of that. We have news there. We also have the President now giving the unredacted portions of FISA warrants and the three O two's with Bruce Or and Christopher Steele and messages. Let's see, we got Comy and McCabe and Struck and Page and Or and Steel. It's all coming out. Uh, let's see what's there. Everybody that tells me they know what's in it, I have not seen. It tells me the same thing. Alright, so much going on in the news today, Russia Gate prosecutors preparing to indict a top Obama official. I'll get to that. More released text messages showing struck in Page plotting to concoct bogus chargeable crimes for Russia Gate prosecutors and the President. This is gonna be a big deal. President declassifying, unredacting, the FISA warrants, the three O two's Gang of eight, and a lot of the information emails, text messages. Comey McCabe, struck Page or Christopher Steel, It's all gonna come out. The reason that you see Shifty Shift panic the way he is because he's scared, because he's gonna be caught one big lie. Uh. This is I don't know what to make of this, except that Senator grass Lee has now said, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, that he has not heard from Professor Ford or any of her representatives as to the invitation that he extended to the professor who made the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, and he said he's considering the possibility of having an independent question or ask all the questions to Ford. He should not do that. I think the American people need to see it. And it's interesting that Senate Democrats want an independent council to question the Kavanaugh accused. Why she now wants to tell her story? She said, they said it themselves, the lawyers said it. That she wants to go and tell the story to the Senate Judiciary Committee now that the door doors open. Now, for whatever reason, there's stonewalling. I don't know the reason, and I won't speculate. Will continue all right now till the top of the hour. Toll free on numbers eight nine for one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of the program. I see the Daily Caller as a piece out Senate Committee on the Judiciary. Uh. Postponing Kavanaugh's confirmation vote, which was supposed to be Wednesday tomorrow, Wednesday at Thursday today tomorrow, Okay and uh anyways, because of the allegation made by the professor Professor Ford accusing Kavanaugh when they were teenagers. When we went through all the allegations yesterday and the Senate, I think appropriately, I do think it's appropriate. I think that she ought to be given an opportunity to present her story in full. I do, and I think that everybody else in the last thirty six years in Kavanaugh's life, similarly, We're gonna be fair ought to be able to give testimony to the committee so we can get the full picture of a man's life. I mean, we have sixty five women that knew Brett Kavanaugh from when he has been in high school. That's very same time period. They have all said that he treats women with respect and decency. That's in their letter. And we have a letter from his former Yale College female classmates. It says he was always humble, kind and accessible. And then we have a letter from female colleagues who served with Kavanaugh the Bush administration. Kavanaugh is a man of the highest integrity. Watch it on Martha McCallum last night her show. She had two of Kavanaugh's girlfriends from the time when he was in high school and when early college. It said he was always a gentleman. Um. Kavanaugh is a strong record of supporting women. Let her from his former female law clerks. Havanaugh his character is exactly what the Senate should be looking for in a nominee of such an important position. Julie O'Brien as mother of one of the girls that Judge Kavanaugh coached in basketball. In other words, there is you know, everybody, now, this is the fact that they had this in July and did nothing with it raises questions, rightly so in everybody's mind. And the President just pointed that out. Why didn't they bring it up at the time if they thought it was so serious? Uh. Lindsey Graham brought up a point last night which I thought was pretty interesting, And why did she never planned on becoming going public? Why did she take a light detector test in August and they had this since July? I just you never know. Look after Robert Bork and what happened to Clarence Thomas, who I think is one of the finest Supreme Court justices we've ever had and has served his country with honor and distinction. And if you have never read My Grandfather's Son, it's such a good book I highly recommended, tells us about his life growing up and how hard and tough it was. I mean, it's it's so inspiring to me. Anyway, So we have one Senate Democrat now suggesting the Senate should appoint an independent council to question both Brett Kavanaugh and Professor Ford and Doug Jones, who floated the idea it doesn't mean like a Robert Mueller style special prosecutor, but still, when you start tossing around terms like independent council, um, I'm not really sure you know what the Democrats mean by this. Political points out I'm reading from political. While the GOP waits to hear about whether Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blossie Ford, is going to testify, they also were discussing the use of a third party to question Forward in an effort to make the hearing appear more fair less political. According to one GOP senator, well, I think I have faith that the senators would have the ability to be fair ask her questions and about the experience. I mean, I think this is I think this is such an important position that I think everybody should be heard. And then I think after you hear the totality of witnesses and all that literally spanned the course of thirty six years of of Judge Kavanaugh's life, I think at that point you're gonna have a pretty good idea of whether or not this is a person that ought to be appointed to the Supreme Court anyway, So it would be better to have either a council for the majority of minority staff that might do this. It could be an independent counsel or designate just one or two senators. I'm trying to understand, why, why, why all of a sudden this resistance because they said she would testify, They said she was going to appear. As of now, Charles grasslely has said that she has not accepted the invitation to come before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Grassley also suggested the last minute Kavanaugh hearing could be canceled if she doesn't want to accept the invitation, and then we have let's see Kavanaugh accuser, now you know stonewalling. Let me read from the political on this. The woman who has accused of Supreme Court nominee Brick Kavanov sexually assaulting her decades ago when they were teenagers, has not yet confirmed her appearance at a public hearing the GOP is planning next week. According to a top Republican senator, that would be Charles Grassley. They reached out to Professor Ford's camp several times since the professor came forward with the story of a high school era assault by the president's pick to the U. S. Supreme Court. A long Ford's lawyer said that her client would be open to a fair proceeding. It remains unclear whether she would agreed to a plan hearing on September. The Republicans have set up for all sides in this particular case. Look, I do think that of all people, I don't often agree with Senator Susan Collins of Maine, but she rightly pointed out this is unfair to everybody involved, that they had this information in July, and then they would not share it with anybody or allow anybody to pursue it. And then the week of the vote, all of a sudden, now that gets printed in the Washington Post, everything gets revealed. Anyway, back to Politico, the lack of response raises the question do they want to come to the public hearing or not, Grassly said in an interview with my old friend Hugh Hewitt, and Afford and a lawyer ultimately opt out of the GOP's public hearing invitation. Democrats have skipped a staff level call with Kavanaugh on the matter, casting doubt on their participation. Republicans will face another tough decision on whether the press ahead with the nomination. I don't think it's that tough a decision at that point. If she doesn't want to take the opportunity to go further and expand and and discuss the issue with the Senate Judiciary Committee, because it's the constitutional role of the Senate to advise and consent, then you know, Diane Feinstein started this whole thing. She leaked the identity to the press, and in many ways I wonder although I think the attorney's pretty left wing. Remember the attorney that represents Professor Ford is somebody that didn't believe Paula Jones and was also very active in helping to defend al Franken, So she has a political agenda. I don't know anything about Professor Ford other than what I've read that she has said, and I do believe that she has it. She should and deserves a full opportunity to be heard. I really believe that with all my heart. And let me tell you about all you people in the public eye. You want to serve in government, this is your life. You don't have to choose a public life. You know, if you choose to be in the public you're gonna take your hits. I've chosen a career that is public. Is a part of me that absolutely wishes I could be anonymous, but I made a choice a long time ago, and I'm on the air four hours a day giving my strong opinions, reporting the news, breaking stories, investigative reports, and I know people can't stand There are people that hate my guts and would love to see me drop dead, you know, on the micro literally thud right now, Hannity's dead. Twitter would go nuts. I'd start trendy ding dong, Hannity's dead. There'd be some happy people. True or false? So is that true or false? Why you will say it on the microphone? Absolutely, It's absolutely ridiculous that people you are a great person, knowing you personally, so it's just seems I'm not looking for compliment. It's very nice to you. Jason would would miss me the most. I think maybe a little bit Linda only slightly depends if it's a good landa or the bad land today. When Linda's having a bad land, you know what you're you become put your microphone on. You have become humorless. I say one little it'sy bitsy thing to her, you know, and you take everything personally is not okay. It's okay what to say, what you want. I don't have anything to say. Hillary did it for me? Back up, you creep for me. I just think of all of the time she would have though if that were to happen. Well, the thing is, if she doesn't testify, then the Republicans really have a dead end there. And as far as I thought Spartacus Corey Booker wanted everything to be public. I don't see any Democrats happy that the President is sending out the unredacted portions of visa. I see Adam, you know, Shifty, the liar Chiff. He's he's freaking out about it because he's gonna be exposed as having lied at a very on a colossal level about things and all. Well, I'm already tagging up all the tape of his two and fifty appearances. I'm way ahead of you. Anyway, If she backs down and she doesn't want to do it, um, I think we have to respect Professor Ford's decision, and I think it would be a hard thing to do. But she's not agreed to appear recording to a person close to the nomination. One of Kavanaugh's allies suggested that, you know, I think that apparently behind the scenes, they're they're trying to put some very strict conditions on any testimony. I'm not sure what they are. That was in the political piece. Democrats have received no new commitments from Professor Ford as of Tuesday morning. Chucky Schumer's pushing back hard on the call for the hearing and and other people as well, but it's now become politicized. The Democrats have nobody to blame for the timeline here except for themselves because they had the information. And when Diane Feinstein met privately with Judge Kavanaugh was a private meeting where she could have brought this information to his attention and gotten answers to a very serious charge. She didn't do it. She chose not to do it. We had public hearings, all those senators had plenty of time. Kavanaugh sat there hour after hour after hour and listen. All these senators politicize a lot of this um. We do have another piece of the Daily Caller that the lawyer for Professor Ford made the bizarre claim yesterday that the burden a proof in this case rest not with her client. The accuser, but with government investigators whose job it should be to prove that her clients telling the truth. Let me explain the law here. And this is why I said this last night, I said it yesterday, and I said it today. I don't care if you like President Trump or don't like President Trump, whether you like Judge kavanaughs selection or you don't like having as a selection for the Supreme Court. I know many people on the left they wish Hillary won the election and she was making these appointments. I understand that I lived through eight years of Obama, and you know what, you just you just fight for the things that you can fight for, and you have to accept in a constitutional republic that sometimes you lose. I didn't like the Clinton years. I didn't want Clinton to win. I didn't want Obama to win two terms, and I did want Donald Trump to win. And I do believe conservative principles make this country stronger economically. I think on every measure we're doing better, infinitely better as a country. But that is one of the jobs of somebody that becomes a president of the United States. But we do have still in this country, the presumption of innocence. It is a foundational principle that this country has, and knowing the Democrats past history with Supreme Court nominees, there is a healthy dose of skepticism I have about them. I don't Ted Kennedy smeared and slander Judge Robert Bork and he didn't get on the court told that right lies. I believe Clarence Thomas to be a man of integrity. I think he told the truth. That's my personal opinion. The country, the Senate at the time, they got to hear from both sides, and they made a decision. It was a close vote, it was And I think he's he's conducted himself in a way that I would have expected and in all these many years on the on the U. S. Supreme Court. But if you're gonna believe in the presumption of innocence in this country, as I do, as everybody should, Yes, she has a right to be heard. This is a serious allegation from when they were teenagers thirty six years ago. But so too do and and the one person that was in the room, I know he had problems alcoholism, etcetera. Take that into consideration. He says it absolutely didn't happen. Take Judge Kavanaugh. He said it absolutely didn't happen. Take all the women that came out that knew him in high school and in college and in the Bush administration and in law school, and that clerked for him, and that he's worked with in in these many years in the district court where he serves. And then you've got to make a decision based on the entirety of one's life, whether you believe the professor, whether you believe Judge Kavanaugh, whether you believe the other people that knew him at the time and known him all throughout these many years. And at that point people make decisions. Do you think he is the person that do you think he was guilty? Do you think he's not guilty? Do you think But it's not his job to prove his innocence. You know, this guy's been investigated by the FBI over and over again. They haven't found any evidence of this type of behavior. But the Senate Democrats should have brought this up earlier to be fair to both sides. In the words of Susan Collins, I agree with her. All right, glad you're with us. Our to Sean Hannity's show nine one, Shawn told Free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. This is an interesting development to me, um Well, for when we first of all we got Shifty lying at him Shift lying again about declassifying. I want to get to that when we get to Jay Sekulo coming up at the bottom of this half hour. That's an important Jeff Flake, Snowflake, Sorry, I can't help myself. Uh. It's interesting because he was the first Republican on the Judiciary Committee to announce that he couldn't vote to confirm Bret havan On less Professor Ford and an opportunity to testify before the committee. But now with Ford seemingly walking at the idea of testifying and refusing to respond to what has been multiple invitations to testify. Uh, Senator of Flake seems to be losing patients. And Senator Flake has been undecided, said he is insisting on the following Senate rules, which means providing a notice of one week. Quote. I don't know how you say you're not gonna appear, and he said Ford had the option of hearing open or closed, with or without cameras. We want her to appear, and she said, we made the decision that she wanted to appear. It's the system we've got. I don't know what else we can do, he said. I personally think if it's gonna happen, I think the American people do need to see this, and that we would be good for them to see it. Then they can make a decision as well. And the President mentioned that today he wants everybody to be confident with his decision and he stands by his man, Judge Kavanaugh. And again I made the point. I won't reiterate all of it, but I personally believe that everybody should be heard. I think the allegation should be taken seriously, but also all the sixty five women that knew him at that period in his life, and the women that have come out for him that knew him in college, and the people that dated him in high school and college, and then when he went to law school, and then when he worked in the Bush administration, and all the clerks that have worked for him over the years, and his fellow employees on the court. And I think everybody makes a decision from there. I think that I think that's fair. Anyway, interesting development joining us now is carry uh Severino. She's the chief Council Policy director for the Judicial Crisis Network. Uh, Megan mcleb is with us. We welcome her to the program. She went to high school with Brett Cavanaugh. They remain good friends to this day. Some what thirty six years later. Maria Kane is with us. She actually dated Brett Cavanaugh in high school and his friends with him as well. Uh, thank you all for being with us. We appreciated Carrie. Welcome back. UM. You know, I'm sure this is probably a hard thing for all of you because of the look, spotlight and all of this. Um moura, you you dated Brett in high school. This is around the time that this supposedly happened, this allegation is being made. What kind of person was Brett Kavanaugh back in that day? True? Um, yes, this is just about the same time as when UM, I started going We started dating in the in the fall of our senior year of high school or the same age. And UM, Brett was a leader in his class, a scholar, the outstanding student, captain of the football team, stand up guy, responsible, thoughtful, respectful. I do not recognize the person, um, that the alleged accuser is talking about. When she's talking about Brett in her claims, did he drink as much as as being described by Professor Ford. Well, he did drink. We drank beer. We were legal, and you know it back then in Washington, I was tending bar when I was seventeen. I don't at this twenty one thing, but I don't tell my kids I said that. So, yeah, we drank. We drank beer. But Brett was never wanted to be out of control, to be falling down drunk, to be blackout drunk. Never knew he He just always had a demeanor that was a little bit more responsible than some of the other goofballs are out there. Yeah. In other words, that he wouldn't have been hanging out with my crowd. Um, and in the sense that we were a little irresponsible at seventeen, Tendon bar wasn't the smartest thing I think for seventeen year old to be doing in my day. But back to his character, you found him to be. I think he used the term of a total gentleman. Yeah, a gentleman. I there was never any issue of him being inappropriate or not respectful. Um. When we were dating, you know, he was wonderful. My parents, you know, liked him and were so happy I was going out with such a nice boy. It was it was very nice. And when you know his typical high school you know, relationships kind of fizzle out. We remain friends, and you know that doesn't happen now often. But he was just that kind of guy. You were happy to stay friends, and um, we still our friends. Let me ask Megan, Oh, by the way, lassie, you still remain good friends. Have you remained friends with them all throughout those years? Yes, all all the time? And um, and he has a terrific circle of friends. His class at Prep is really kind of a very close post Knick class, and um, friends with many of other people in that class, and um, you know, we just sort of all continue to grow up together. What about you, Megan mikhaelob thank you for being with us. You also went to Brett Kavanaugh and you remain good friends to this day a thirty years later. Tell us about it. I agree with Maura. Um, you know I met Brett when I was a freshman. He was a year older than May. He always behaved honorably, treated women well, was always in control, just a really great guy. And that's why I remained friends with him all the way through college until today. Yeah, and what you know, describe them back in that time. And you know, I I don't know of any perfect teenage kids. I just I mean, maybe they exist. But there were kids that you knew that were really off the deep end. Everybody knew who they were. And then there were kids that, you know, we're just regular, normal kids but responsible and didn't want to get in trouble and didn't get in trouble. Umret, that was Brett. I can tell you. I. I was one of the people who spearheaded the letter of six women who signed it, and it was simple to do. I. You know, we have so many friends and so many people respected him and liked him that they absolutely were like, I would love to sign a letter on be half of Fret Kavanov's character and these are people that knew him in high school. What do you make carry and you're the chief council and policy director for the Judicial Crisis Network, what do you make of the fact that there's no answer to the Senate Judiciary Committee, even though the attorney for Professor Ford had said that she'd be glad to testify. Why do you think there's been no answer up to this point after apparently multiple invitations. Yeah, it is a real head scratcher. I mean, her lawyer went on on TV and several shows, I think on Monday, just yesterday, saying, yes, she's willing to testify, she wants to testify. And you had the Democrats originally Senator Grassley I think, was trying to set this up so it would be a little more confidential at private for her sake and and have a call that they could they could have confidentially, and the Democrats no, no, no no, we mean the public hearing. And then they set fine, okay, well, the public hearing will give you the weak notice as per the rules, and um, suddenly now she doesn't want to testify. I don't know if this is moving the goalposts, because now they're also saying, let's not do it here and let's do an FBI investigation, despite the fact that the FBI says, yeah, we were done, we've we've we've looked at that, and we don't we don't do you know in this kind of furtherest of investigation you're talking about, I don't know if that's part of it. I'm not sure if she's head cold feet, but I do know that what we what you know, Megan and more I have described here is what you've seen from people who have known him for his whole career, and this is you know, it's it's really remarkable for someone who's been in public life as long as Judge Kavanaugh has six different background checks and never a whiff of some kind of misconduct. This isn't like you know, some of those me two cases where you hear someone and everyone goes, oh, yeah, we kind of yep, that that fits totally with that person. You know. No, this is this is totally out of character, and so you have to take that into consideration as you're looking at this. So I don't know if we'll get to hear from her on Monday. I think we'll at least get to hear from Judge Kavanaugh. But I think those senators are right. We if they're going to be if they're gonna be able to take this into consideration, they have to be able to to assess um her as well. And if not, I you know, I think we've done all we can to look into this investigation and we just have to move forward and take a vote. Well, this just broke on the ap that Mitch McConnell is now suggesting that uh, Professor Ford, um, in this particular case, testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and McConnell said she she can testify in private if she prefers, and he stressed that Monday is her opportunity. UM. You know, I I gotta believe Megan, and and more, I assumed that that you're maybe not as in the political world like I am. And Uh, this is not the first time the Democrats have really gone after Supreme Court nominees. I don't know how familiar you are with the term porking or the things that then Senator Ted Kennedy had said about Robert Bork that were just outright lies and slander. And I don't know if both of you are aware that what happened to Clarence Thomas, who I think turned out to be one of our greatest Supreme Court justices in modern time myself, UM, what do you make of it? More, when it came up last hour they had this back in July, they did nothing with it. What are your thoughts because somebody who dated him and knew him and believe it that he's a man of real good character. Um, it was. It was disappointing. I actually went to two days of the hearing, and UM, the fact that they brought this up so late in the game was really unbelievable because if it had been brought up earlier, there are so many women who would have been happy to answer to his character and the kind of person he was in that regard with any kind of accusation of that um out there, and that we weren't. No one was allowed to do that because it didn't come up. It's just not fair that this one alleged incident is getting so much attention and not the hundreds of people who would, um, you know, vouch for his character and integrity and respect and UM, it's completely imbalanced. Yeah, and what's your take on that, Megan? I agree. I was at the hearings as well, and you know, he answered so many questions and they were so thorough and so respectful, and then he responded to questions in writing and and I felt like they had the opportunity to bring it up and they did not, And they knew the information and it wasn't there to him, and it also wasn't fair to the person who alleged it. So you know, I think I think Susan Collins. I'm I'm more conservative than Senator Collins. But I really thought she captured it perfectly when she said that this is not fair to both sides, that they had this since July and did nothing with this, and that this comes up, you know, just two days three days before the vote is scheduled, and then everything gets put into chaos. And you know, we also saw the way the Democrats were acting during those hearings. You were both there. What did you think, Mara, Um it was tough to watch. UM. I have to say how um the Democrats were so not um, not not impartial, not not following the rules of order. Um, it was. It was disappointing to watch that show. You know, I believe very very deeply carry and the presumption of innocence, and I know that we all and forget that. I often talk about the rush to judgment. I was very critical Barack Obama and the Michael Brown case. Uh and and what happened in that particular instance, or what happened and Ferguson and and what happened with Trayvon Martin and and Trayvon and George Zimmerman and Trayvon could be my son, and then what happened with Freddie Gray, And meanwhile everybody's silent. There's so many thousands of shootings and people dying in Chicago and we don't know those names, and I feel like they were being politicized. I think this happens with Supreme Court nominees in every instance. It's such an important job, but you don't think about this. Uh if if Judge Kavanaugh is innocent, well, I saw those those two young girls having to be walked out of the hearing room, and now they're gonna know that this was said about their father. If it wasn't true, it's you know. But on the other hand, I think this woman has every right to make her case. Yeah, absolutely, I do wish it could have been dealt with in the proper order, which would have meant they could have addressed it in a way they would have protected um miss Ford's confidentiality and Judge Kavanaugh's reputation, because you can't un ring that belt. I mean, now, this is something that that unfortunately is going to be out there on his record, even if it turns out to be completely unsubstantially doesn't matter. I think that's part of the end game. I think the Democrats have said from the beginning, we'll do everything it takes to block this confirmation. But I think they realized if they couldn't block it, then delay, and if they can't delay, then at least delegitimize him. And I think that that is part of that strategy, and it's it's not good for our process. Justice Ginsburg said last week, and this is before this all broke, how broken our confirmation process has become. And she was hardening back to when she was confirmed, and she was she I think she got ninety three votes in the affirmative if I remember correctly. Last last question to Megan and Maura, and I know you're both not public figures. Uh, You've got to imagine people like me are insane to ever want to be in the public eye, because this is this is what happens. I mean, you know, my kids google my name, it's gonna come up. Hannity is Satan, first first thing they'll see. I'll just say that, you know, I am happy to speak out on behalf of breat and because I believe in him and I knew him back then, and I know he was a gentleman, and he deserves to be confirmed. That said. A lot of our friends that are the six five are you know, not political at all and don't want it, don't don't want to come on TV or be quoted. And I understand that too. It's it's quite a circus, you know, was that Maura Omegan not said that. I'm sorry, Omegan. I'm sorry Maura last word? Uh yeah, my um are you know our thoughts. We are thinking of Brat. We are completely supporting Bread in this. I'm you know, I feel terrible that he and his family are having to go through such scrutiny and it's tainting um his you know, his perfect qualifications for the Supreme Court. It's I'm I'm so disappointed, but we are all supporting Bret and we know what's what's right and that he should be confirmed without any kind of changing his character. I will say this, I couldn't get that many people speaking out in my favor, so um um, well, I think it's very honorable that you guys as friends feel a sense of duty to go into the public eye. It's not easy because the media is so corrupted in this country, to be honest, but that's my own personal views. Thank you for sharing, Maura, Thank you, Megan, thank you, Carrie, thank you. Jay Sekulo checks in with us. Also, Jim Jordan's gonna join us. James O'Keefe. Yeah, there is a deep state attempted coup. Apparently people think that they can undermine the president and get paid by you and me the taxpayer. Straight ahead, let's set our phones here. We have Anita in Oklahoma. Nita, Hi, how are you? And we're glad you're you called? What's going on? Oh, Sean, thank you so good to talk to you. What's going on? Well, I wanted to give you a victim's point of view. I was almost raped at age five three inches and three seconds and it would have been all over and I was almost right, Oh my gosh, as a freshman in college. And I can tell you I remember the names, I remember the places, I remember the times. I wasn't until seventh grade that I realized what I was remembering when I'm from from being five years old, but it just hit me like a ton of books. That was going to be a rape. And I didn't know anything about it, of course back then. So it's so sad. By the way, because this has happened to so many different women, and there are predators out there. It scares any father, it scares anybody that has women in their life that they love, or any It's just it's evil. To me, an evil exists. It's scary how many evil people are out there. It is. And you know that's why I've been you know, people said to me, and some people were surprised. I set up. I think this woman has a right to be heard, and I think so to all the other people and the entirety of his career. Um, we have some news that is kind of breaking here. Now it looks like, hang on, if I can pull this up the jud We have now a Judiciary Committee Democrat saying that Ford doesn't want to testify unless the FBI investigates her claim. The FBI said they've already investigated their claim. Now this is very different from what we heard before. Now this is all breaking in just the last hour. Mitch McConnell has said, Okay, you're invited to testify Monday as her opportunity if she wants to come testify, and he even said that she couldn't do it behind closed doors if she wants, which I think is extraordinarily respectful. I think the American people would like to see it and hear it themselves so that they can have the confidence themselves and what goes on and what the process is all about. Um. Now we have a Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee suggesting just now the Professor Ford would refuse to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee unless the FBI launches a full blown investigation into her allegation. So it sounds like she's not going to be testifying to me, he's that's the way I'm reading this. If you can pull this up a Nita Hill apparently is now just uh weighed in on this and how to get Kavanaugh hearings right. She wrote, um, anyway, and going back to the UH to the Senate Judiciary Democrat, Um, Senator, I don't know what. I don't even remember this person's name. I can't read it on my report here anyway. Want the Senate Democrats said this about Ford's reluctance to have her be there without the FBI report. How do you think she feels? I suspect she feels totally victimized, and I don't blame her. Well, the FBI has already investigated Kavanaugh six separate times, and apparently specifically even on this issue. At least that's what That's what we just heard from Ms. Saravino, Stan and the Professor Ford wants to hear the report on the FBI's conclusion. Um, remember that there's there's two different standards here. Should somebody be believed? Um, we have another Cavanaugh friends say, and I never saw Brett Kavanaugh act in a manner, then you have the legal standard legally speaking, I mean the statute of limitations has passed. And one of the reasons I guess we have statute of limitations on cases like this is because over time, people's memories, evidence, witnesses, you don't have an opportunity to even put the case together. Um, whether you agree with that or not, now we do know Mark Judge was identified as the person in the room. He says, I have no more information offer the committee, and I do not wish to speak publicly regarding the incidents described in Dr Ford's letter, And he has said it did not happen. So that's what he's saying about it. Um, I have a coppy just hot off the presses of Anita Hill calling on senators to get it right at Kavanaugh's hearing over sexual assault allegation. There's no way to redo nine there, but there are ways to do a better she writes. The facts underlying uh Professor Ford's claim of being sexually assaulted by a young Bret Kavanaugh will continue to be revealed as confirmation proceedings on unfold. Yet it's impossible to miss the parallels between the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing of eighteen. In the confirmation of Justice Thomas, the Senate Judiciary had the opportunity to demonstrate its appreciation for both the seriousness of sexual harassment claims the needs for public confidence in the character of a nominated the Supreme Court. It failed on both counts, and obviously she has an opinion. You know, one of the big questions I remember back at the time about Anita Hill is she she said that she had followed then now Justice Thomas to another job after these alleged incidents had occurred, and people were asking those become tough questions of moments like this. But I stand by what I say. I think if Professor Ford wants to speak, let her speak. I think she should have a fair opportunity to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee everything she wants to tell them about Brett Kavanaugh. And I also think that Brett Kavanaugh has an should have a fair opportunity, with the presumption of innocence to respond. I also believe that we should look at the totality of his life. There are sixty people that knew him when he was in high school. Like two of the people we just had on one dated Brett Cavanaugh. They're all saying the same thing. That is not the person we knew in any way. And then he we could also go throughout the rest of the thirty six years in the interim, we could talk to people that he went to high school with, people he went to college with, people he went to law school with, people that he served with in the Bush administration, people that clerk for him, people that work with him on the court that he currently serves. Anyway. Jay Seculo is with us. He is with the American Center for Law and Injustice is their chief counsel. Is also counsel to the president be President Trump power you, sir, I'm good, sir, um. I'm looking at all of this. It appears now one Senate Judiciary Democrat is now saying that Professor Ford won't testify unless the FBI investigates her claim that just broke what's your reaction, Well, that's not the way the process, that the process does not work that way. So I think we have to go back to here is process. I think that's very important. You said this just a few minutes ago, and that says here's what the constitution says. The Constitution says the President, as the has the authority to appoint nominees to courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States. He nominates, the job of the Senate is to advise and consent. That means they have the right to have hearings and determine the fitness of that particular candidate. There is no requirement that anybody in the Senate could put into the nature and sculpet of an inquiry. The FBI doesn't open up investigations on this in this type of situation that way. That's just not the way the process would work. So this has put in the background file. It's information that's gathered. But what has to happen here is the Dr Ford has made an accusation. She's given given the opportunity to present her case to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and they will evaluate the veracity of that and as well as Judge Kavanaugh's response and vote up or down. You know, I'm I'm watching and I'm listening, you know, And he can't take politics out of it, nor can you take the history of the Democrats out of it. And I remember, and I played for this audience as a matter of fact, when the opening came up with Anthony Kennedy on the court, I played and reminded everybody this is what Democrats do often. We know every election year that Republicans are racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, zmophoe vic islamophobic, They want dirty air and water, they want children to die, and they want Granny thrown over the cliff. It's it's as predictable as the day is long. And I have all of the examples on tape that I have played many many times on radio and TV. Similarly, we remember what Ted Kennedy did to Robert Pork. It was a slander and a smear by the way, by all people. The guy that left a woman to drown after he drove a car offer bridge and went home and went to bed and didn't tell his soul. But they were successful in that case. A need to Hill just released an article in the New York Times, you know how to get this thing right? Um, But that came up just as Thomas, I mean, his background and his experience. I remember one of the big issues that came up in that case was that she had followed him from one job to another. If you were a call, do you remember that case? Yeah? Sure, But Sean, here's the reality. The reality is there was a reason the founders put forward the constitution separation of powers, so that each branch of government has its role and authority on it. We're talking about a confirmation to the Streme Court of the United States. So if there is an allegation, which there has been, and if as has happened, the Senate is determined that that allegation should be vetted in other words, discussed, then you put that evidence forward under oath, under the penalty of perjury for both sides, and they put forward their their case, and then the Senate makes the determination within the Judiciary Committee or whether they will move that to the floor of the Senate. If we follow the constitution, it works, and that's what has to happen here. Why do you think this was with held for so long? And the Democrats know about this back in July and they did nothing. Um A couple of reasons. One is maybe they thought they were gonna trip Judge Kavanaugh up on some other issue so that they would have to do this. Number two, Uh, look, I mean eleven our issues are frequent. You know that. I know that. Um, this is an eleventh hour issue. This is the October surprise, so to speak, except Stone in September, and I think you take it a step forward from there. And again, I'm not casting dispersions on anybody. Bet it out in the process. That's the best way for this to move. Folard. I see, I agree with you, And I know some people actually get mad at me for saying that. Um, why not. I'm meeting people getting mad at me. I said it on your broadcast last night. But but I but honestly, I mean, I think if you do, I think, if you're gonna be fair and I believe in the presumption of innocence, which many of my colleagues in the media clearly do not, I think if somebody makes a serious allegation that they should have an opportunity now, even Mitch McConnell and has said that she can speak publicly. It could be an open hearing or and it could be on television, or it could be a closed door hearing. Now, personally I would like to see it, but I think that is done with great sensitivity and respect to her, and I think that's should be right. I think it's whatever is whatever is best. I agree with that. I mean, but an allegation has been brought to word. But I'll tell you the one thing they should not do. Don't have this allegation brought forward, no witness come forward, and then leave the judge hanging well, it looks like it may come to that. Because it looks like it looks like it may come to that, because I don't think so. I think if they follow if the Senate follows the rules and follows the Constitution, there will be a just outcome and a proper determination. But do you have to follow the rules. You know. One thing that Lindsey Graham pointed out to me last night, I hadn't thought of it. Um. She said that she never intended to go public, but she did have a light detector test administered and it was shown to be truthful in August. Right, that seems suspiciously the UH Center Einstein had this information for months, and the whoever's involved in putting this forward is trying to tighten their case up. That's what I think. This is what do you mean by that? I mean, what does that mean? Here's what happened on Here's what happened. You got eleven to our attempt. The guy was sailing to confirmation. Right, we all know that. Everybody knew it. He did great in his hearings. He's got a stellar reputation. Um. Now, an incident has been raised, an allegation that when he was literally, uh you're talking about when he was sixteen years old, thirty whatever it is, six years ago, and allegation has been Yeah, allegation has been made, and the judge said he's ready to respond to that allegation once the allegations put forward in a Senate hearing, which is the process. So everybody that says, well, you know, let's follow the rules, follow the constitution, and follow the process. Guess what, that's the way the country is set up to operate. So they have I think they're they're doing the right thing by offering doctor for the opportunity to do it privately, open, whatever makes her more comfortable. Judge Kevin, I should be able to respond accordingly, and that should be it. Then they should decide whether to vote or not, you know, whether to move it forward or not. They get the right to vote. And I think if we followed the consecution here, this works out best for everybody, the one that's making the accusation and the one that's been accused. Let me ask you, I would be negligent process. Yeah, I'd been negligent if I didn't ask you about the President and the declassification and unredaction of FISA and the three oh two's and apparently emails from Comey and Struck and Page and or and and Christopher Steel. There's gonna be a lot of uh and a lot of information coming out. When do we expect it. Well, there's a you know, the President issued the order as you know last night. So the order has been issued. It went over to the Office of Director of National Intelligence as well as the Department of Justice, including the FBI. They have a process they are doing what they call a compress schedule. So I mean, I don't know the dates anymore than anybody else does. But I expect it. We'll see documents in an expeditionous fashion. I think you'll see him sooner rather than later, that's for sure, all right. Jay Sekulou, Counsel to the President, Chief Council of the American Center for Law and Justice. Thank you for your time. We appreciate it. Toll free on numbers eight undred nine one, Shawn, if you want to get I want to be a part of the program. James O'Keefe, you know, we had the anonymous piece written, you know, somebody trying to undermine the president from within the White House. But apparently there are groups of people, resistance members spread all throughout government. It's a first in a series of videotapes by Project Veritas. Will ask James O'Keefe about it. Then, Jim Jordan's is sent out a tweet today applauding the President's decision to declassify portions of the Carter page FIS application and communications from key people in the FBI and d O j who ran the Russia investigation. Comey McCabe struck page and or we'll ask Jim Jordan about that. And right as we roll along Sean Hannity shown for one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of the program, James O'Keeffe, remember the anonymous piece in the New York Times. James O'Keeffe, Well, his undercover cameras of finding there are a lot of little saboteurs all throughout government. And in the first of what is going to be a series, he we've got the tape, and the tape apparently not flattering the people work at the State Department. The State Department just responded, we'll get to that and so much more. And also Jim Jordan is coming up in the next half hour. He's happy that the president's declassifying and unredacting. Straight ahead, alright, it was round ben Information Overload hour here on the Sean Hannity Show, gladual with us toll free or telephone numbers eight D nine one, Shawn h. James O'Keeffe strikes again, and of course he is the founder of Project Veritas, and we're gonna talk to him in in just a minute here. Um, we've now learned a lot about quote the resistance. After the anonymous piece went in the New York Times, those that would be working within the Administration Washington and literally trying to sabotage the agenda of the President. James O'Keeffe has been undercover with steep within and has been able to infiltrate and expose now some deep state within our government agencies. This is going to be part of an on going series. I've known James for many years. He only lets a little bit out at a time. He's very, very chintzy when it comes to give him me more tape than when he's revealed. And I'm only kidding, of course, he shares generously. But this newly released undercover videos shows the State Department employee bragging about how they use their time at the agency to organize for what is the d C chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. The d s A and Project Veritas and James O'Keefe released this video earlier this morning, and uh, we're gonna show some of this on Hannity tonight, but you can hear for yourself. We're gonna play a number of cuts here. This is one an individual, Stewart Karapa, who works at the State Department, says he does Democratic Socialists for America stuff on our dime. We get paid for and by the way, just before airtime today, a State Department spokesperson responded to James O'Keeffe's tape. I can confirm that Stewart Kafa is a management management and program analysts with the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations. We take seriously any allegation of a violation of the Hatch Act and financial disclosure rules and are closely reviewing the matter. This is a personnel matter that we cannot comment on further at this time. Anyway, here is that tape. I worked for this cage parment. I mean, I'm a civil serving, I'm a union member and all jobs. Yeah, I don't know. I mean I look at it this way, and now that I program that I was like data program, modernized, modernized, democratized, shine, sunlight and should be and they cut it and now I'm just straight like five. So it gives me so much more time and like emotional bandmit les instead of So I guess that I'm gonna pretty much now this guy, As the undercover tape continues, he actually says that he'll resist everything and mess things up well curse words, f s h up at every level everything he can. Here's what he says everything now he goes on just to save time. But he also says that his managers are rubber stamping his political activities. Uh. He says that he sends out his d s A stuff Democratic Socialist of America's stuff at five thirty one, right after his regular job ends, but he's writing it all while he is at work. He doesn't believe that he'll be punished, saying, well, maybe someday I'll go to you know, Board of Elections jail. Probably not, And he says he has nothing to lose because he can't be fired from the State Department, and says, you know, his manager's rubber stamping anyway. James O'Keefe is the founder Project Veritas. And this is only part one of how many people did you get deep state resistors within our government sabotaging the administration and their policies? Many many, Sean I you described or m O accurately, and I will announce on your show. I'll give this news to you that tomorrow we're releasing tapes of the d o J people Department of Justice resistors, so many, but of course you have to release them one at a time. That's our that's what we do to get the media talk. I'm only kidding obviously when I say you're you're very generous and sharing it. You know, we read the New York Times piece, the anonymous piece, and I'm reading this and I'm like these it's like they're openly sabotaging their own government. Yeah. We The New York Times just made the deep state no longer conspiracy theory. But unlike Bob Woodward and unlike the journalists which conspire with these so called anonymous sources that relay information secondhand, I'm not the source of this information, Sean. The State Department guy is the source of the information. I don't show you anonymous sources. I show you his lips moving. You could see his demeanor, you can see his mannerisms, and he's so arrogant cavalier that in this tape he literally says I can't get fired. He says, quote, it's impossible to fire a federal employee, so they just rubber stamp my forms. This guy's a steering committee member of the Democratic Socialist of America. He does this at work, and he says, nobody will hold me accountable. So this is the whole thing represented in this deep state series here, well, and this is the point on there's there's a couple of issues here. One is, you have somebody that is openly sabotaging the very government that's giving him a paycheck. And secondly, the guy is not doing his job. The guy's working on his political activities on our dime. We're paying this guy. And he says he has a union that protects him, a federal union. He saism a civil service workers. So there's there's a need for civil service reform. There's a need. I mean, this is everything that Trump has been talking about. This is this vast administrative state, nameless, faceless bureaucrats, foot soldiers in the so called deep state. We've been hearing a lot about this deep state, but we've never seen the personify. We never see the facing a name to it. And that's what this guy represents. And this is just the first tape. All right, So let's go on into a little bit more. What are he's saying here, resist everything f up at every level? That sounds like sabotage. Did you get the impression with him? And there you don't want to tell us exactly how many people you got on tape do you uh many many? Um in order of magnic could be many, could be like a lot more than a few, more than a few and executary many you know, give help us? Is it a dozen? Two dozen? Well, if you look at the trailer, you'll see flashes of D O J. You'll see flashes of I R. S. Many other executive branch agencies, their executive branch agencies, and then then their government oversight agencies. And Congress has abdicated their responsibilities and given all of the power to these to these agencies that are not accountable to the voters. And that's the point of this expose. When we abdicate our responsibility, hold nobody accountable their federal union to protect them. There's nothing that we can do about it. And and I can tell you this, Sean, and every video someone says, I can't get fired for anything. So I'm just gonna go ahead and subvert the will of the people and break the law and be quite brazen about it because my supervisor they don't care. And I think this is an inflection point in history because finally, with this visis stuff and this you know, they're declassifying things. But but that's all documentation. This is video evidence, Sean, and that's why the journalists ought to be exposing the government corruption. But they're conspiring with the deep state people to get the scoop and the people are left in the dark. Well, I think that's what it's really all about now. To me, if you don't want to serve the administration and their agenda, and you have the honor to walk into the State Department every day, or walk into the Department of Justice you say is coming out tomorrow, or walk into the White House every day, if you're not willing to serve the American people, they didn't run, These anonymous people didn't run. They didn't put their agenda out there and then have the people make a decision. You know, this is a constitutional republic. It's a constitutional crisis. They're replacing the very fabric of our of our democracy. I think Mark Levin's right. I think this is a post constitutional America and we see it with everything involving the deep state. Um. But you how high up did you get? I mean, look, you're not gonna have access obviously to the Secretary of State if you're looking at the state deplic time breaking the law, and I have to be very very careful. We did not film inside of federal buildings. What we did Sean as we went into these these meetings, they actually have these d say it's important people know what this is. It's deep state meetings Democratic Socialists of America. This cabal of federal workers meet, ironically enough, in the basement of a church in Washington, d C. And they took everyone's phone and they put it in a little ziploc bag. But of course we have other devices that record, and they say, beyond the lookout for these people trying to expose us. But here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna elect socialist candidates and we can't get caught do it. Foreshadowing tomorrow, Department of Justice people are maybe maybe using government resources to elect these are they doing things like stealing um, stealing information and preventing information from getting to the president or getting to their secretaries because they want to advance their agendas. These are the sorts of people that targeted Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the Red Head restaurants. So they target people to to put pressure on them. They target conservative groups in particular and conservative members of the government, and they may be using government resources to do it, which is a violation of the Hatch Act. Explain what the Hatch Act does. The Hatch Act is a is a federal law that the intention of this was to prevent federal government workers from using their positions to advance a specific specific candidates, or specific ideological policies. It's a statute. And when you violate that statute and you commit a crime, what what is the punishment or what can the punishment be? The punishment can can Robert Mueller wants to put a thirty year veteran General Flynn in jail for god knows how long, And yes, it could be. It could be jail. And that's the irony. And that's the prosecutorial discretion, which is the injustice in our country. They it's it's selective prosecutorial discretion. They're on tapes saying, I light on the forms, I use government time and resources to do illegal political things and there's no one's going to prosecute them. And Sean everyone asked me, well, James, are these people gonna go to jail? I don't have the power to prosecute people. But what I do have the power to do is illuminate things that outrages the outrages Sessions or whoever. But they have to buck up and do the right thing, and they have to. There has to be an equal justice under the law. We can't only prosecute Manafort. You have to also prosecute the people who are on tape. Started with Hillary, didn't it. If Hillary didn't obstruct justice, nobody's obstructed justice because she took subpoened emails, deleted them. Then she literally washed clean with bleach, bit her hard drives. Then aids busted up her of vices with hammers and they remove sim cards. There has to be equal justice under the law. And I say it every day. I don't think there is Videotaped evidence can change things, Sean. That's why videos matter, whatever level of the State Department, mid level, lower level foot soldiers, d o J. If we have them on tape. And now we have now Sean, breaking news. The moment I walked in your studio, they have reacted and said they take this violation of the hatch Ack seriously. We may have a crack in the damn here. We may actually get some people fired in some and some prosecution happening. Well, I don't see how you don't make that happen. I mean seriously, because it's obviously we're on tape breaking the law. And now this wouldn't be the first time you've had people fired, is it. No, We've been doing this for years and and uh and Sean I I speaking of prosecutal prosecutorial discretion. They've come after me and and and throw through laws at me that I didn't violate. But we're hoping that this series provides a critical mass and it will will come out more tomorrow and we're hoping that we get a reaction from the President and some big things happen. I think that will happen. Well, I think people need to see the tape. You've generously given it to us, So we'll air the tape on Hannity today. We've got a lot of other news we're getting to but this is important. If we have deep state saboteurs that are violating the law and misappropriating our money and have a different agenda, and they're violating the Hatch Act. Uh, and it's on tape, how do you not prosecute them? But again, I can't belabor this point enough. Bob would relay sources second hand and then he attributes to it in quote, and I can attack for selective editing. The words are coming out of the everything he attributes. He interviews the anonymous source who who relays its second hand months after the fact, and then puts that in a quote from the person in the meeting. You mean I don't do that, Mr o'keef. You think there's a double standard in the media. Really they hold me to a I mean, I'm not going to complain because they beat me. They beat me up for put letting you talk your story. The tragedy is it's not about me or you. It's about the rec about the countruth. It is about truth. And there's not a lot of truth in media today period. Know it's but hopefully we're trying to restore. It is not equal. It's not equal justice under the law either or application of our laws. That's very that's very true. Yeah, And I'm worried about the future of our country. And there's an election in forty days days. This could be a watershed moment. What happens right now over the next week, with these hearings, with these videos, this could be a watershed moment in politics. People have to wake up, but they have to see it. Why do you always make me wait for the next day and then I get another tape because day and I got an The next day, I got another tip. No, I think you're smart, but it's annoying to me. It's the way that the media operates. And then when I met Andrew Breitbarn't years ago, he told me this just the way the media operates. You have to release it a little bit at a time because we're facing an unjust mechanism which tries to to prevent this stuff from getting out there. You're right, all right, we'll take a quick break more with James o'kee for a Project Veritas. Right as we wrap things up, final moments we have today with James o'cape by the way, and Jordan at the bottom of this half hour Project Veritas, Anonymous is only the tip of the iceberg, and he's got more releases coming in tomorrow. You've got the State Department today, and then you have people from the d O J. And why would I expect maybe the executive branch, the I R S. Where are we going next to multiple government agencies? I think tomorrow we're gonna we're definitely gonna launch the d O J Peace where we talk about more violations of this Hatch Act. Again. This is a group called Democratic Socialists of America. There's a whole cabal of these d s A federal workers who are using their government positions to resist against the Trump administration. And we've also infiltrated their slack that's a private messaging channel, so we have them doing this on work hours, using government property, saying if anybody ever finds out what we're doing, will be in so much trouble. So the hope is sean that the people in power I guess, apply the law equally and prosecute these people since they're getting everyone else on perjury traps. These guys are on tape saying we break the law, we do bad things. All right, Well, eight work as always, Project Veritas, Uh, what's it on the web Project Veritas dot veritas dot com. Yes, all right, James O'Keefe, and I'll look forward to reading all the horrible things about you in the coming days, which is pretty much standard operating procedure for you. But I'm glad you share your tapes with us. I think it's revealing and we can't have people with their own agendas that are unelected and unaccountable doing what they feel like when they're serving the supposedly serving the people of this country. Anyway, appreciate you being with us, James o'cafell see tomorrow s tomorrow. Thank you. Donald Trump first started, they were leaks. There were just absolute leaks that were going on. He with the President would have a discussion with the foreign leader that would get out. Yes, this is how the deep state operates. They did it to me personally as a member of Congress when I was a chairman of the Oversight Committee, I had the Secret Service more than forty agents dove into my background because they wanted to embarrass me. More than a dozen offices. Uh, the I R S. We detail in the book what happened with the I R S. We go through fast and furious. You go through all of these cases, and by BEng Ghazi, I mean they set a spy essentially to to just watch what I do. Um, it's amazing. Who is the State Department? The State Department did this. That's how I opened up the book and talk about it. The way we operate in the Department of Justice. If we're can accuse somebody of wrongdoing. We have to have admissible evidence and credible witnesses. We need to prepare to prove our case in court, and we have to fix our signature to the charging document. That's something that not everybody appreciates. There's a lot of talk about FISA applications, and many people that I see talking about it seem not to recognize what a FIES application. FIES application is actually a warrant, just like a search warrant. In order to get a FISA search warrant, you need an affidavit signed by a career federal law enforcement officer who swears that the information in the affidavit is true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief. Uh. And that's the way we operate. And if it's wrong sometimes it is. If you find out there's anything incorrect in there, that person is going to face consequences. I think what's most important here is the American people are going to have a look finally at what actually was the beginning, What was it that started this inquiry in the first place. And if John Solomon and Sarah Carter are correct in their reporting and that, uh, the information is going to show some type of potential surveillance inside the Trump campaign. This would be an eye opener, This would be shocking. This would create a situation where you have to look at the legitimacy of the beginning of the inquiry. I mean we we all focus on the fact that the inquiry, you know, it looks like started with the sealed Dot said after nine months nothing that's two years was immediately strategy and the lead up to the appointments a special council. Right, and that, by the way, the media leaks strategy in and of itself can be a violation of the law. All right, That was Jay set the top of the hour, ring for one. Sean is our toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. And he's right. Finally, we're gonna get the unredacted or the unredacted versions of what we now know to be the important pages of the FISA warrant, especially the last one apparently pages ten through twelve, seventeen to thirty four. And keep hearing over and over again our key the three O two's Gang of eight information uh comy tax struck in page tax. Looks like we're gonna get them all, and I did notice that Shifty Shift is having a bit of a temper tantrum all over television. Oh this is outrageous. Oh this is about national security. What I think it's going to do, and what I've been told by numerous people is he is going to be exposed as having lied to the American people repeatedly. Congressman Jim Jordan's Freedom Caucus here to talk about all of this and all the latest information about it, you said in a tweet. We applaud the president's decision, and he classified portions of the page FISA applic case and that would be in the case of Carter Page and communications from the key people of the FBI and the d o J who ran the Russia investigation, Comy McCabe struck page and or I think all of this is crucial, Congressman, and why has it taken this long? J dragged their feet, But I do applaud the president. What the President did is so good for the American people. Transparency is, in fact a good thing. Let's see the information and let's let the American people decide if in fact that what they did when they took the dossier to the Secret Court to get the warrant to spy on Carter Page in essence to spy on the Trump campaign. Let's see if they did it in any type of appropriate fashion. I don't think they did. All the evidence points to the fact that they didn't do it the way you're supposed to. But now we'll get to see. So let's let it all and to the leak issue. Sean, never forget when you have a big lie, which is what the dossier was, a big lie. The more people you have talking about the big lie, the easier it is for people to believe it. That's what they were doing. Remember Horowitz had the one diagram where thirteen different people at the Justice Department we're talking with one reporter one reporter. So this was a coordinator strategy to get information out there to pass the big live the dossier offense something that was actually truthful and straightforward, which in fact we know it was. Do you know or have a good idea what you expect is going to come out of this information when it finally does become available and how long do you think it's gonna be? I don't uh. The second question, I seek we may start to see something later this week I talked with a member, a staff member on the Intel Committee. Um, his best guest was sometime later this week, we might start to get some information. I hope that's the case. I think you know, I wanted this information out like you did a while back. But but it's gonna come at some point. I hope we get some of it later this week. So we'll see. Let's let's get the information, let's evaluated. I don't know for certain what it's going to contain my hunches. That defies application. It will it will largely be what's not there, like what's not there like no no no telling the court about the oars involvement in putting together the dossier, no talking about who actually paid for the document, i e. The Clinton campaign, and probably no discussion about the fact that Christopher Steele, the guy who wrote the document, had this extreme animus towards the president. In fact, he told Bruce or that he was desperate to stop Donald Trump from being president. I don't think they conveyed that to the judge. It defies the court. But we'll find out when we get this information. Yeah, how long is it gonna take? Because everyone's asking when's it coming out? When's it coming out? Yeah, I think I think the earliest we see anything is is later this week. Now. The other thing I like what the President did. He not only asked for the notes of Bruce Or and Christiel's conversations. He not only asked for the portion of the flies that you just talked about, and he not only asked for the stuff that was given to the Gang of Eight, but he said, let's release the information from the key players. Comey's texting and communications, McCabe's texting communications, Paige Struck, as well as Bruce Or. And what's interesting about these five people, They've either been fired or demoted in their jobs at the Justice Department. I mean, Comey was fired, mcab bled three times under oath, he was fired of Bruce Or was demoted twice. He's still working in the Justice Department. Lisa Page was demoted and then left. And of course Peter Struck was first demoted from his head position as Deputy head of counter Intelligence and subsequently fired. So I want to see all of those communications things we haven't seen yet. So I really applaud the President for also including that. And what's going to be available for the American people. Well, I think this is the main thing. Did you ever think would be in a position in the United States of America where in fact Hillary would have a case fixed for her that in fact that that she would end up paying and of all ironies for Russian information and the very people that exonerated her even though she was guilty of many things. And she funnels money through a law firm to an opery sarge group that hires a foreign national that gets Russian information. Then they use it as the bulk of information as a fiser warrant. They propagandize the American people, then top people within the lie to fights the court judges four separate times, and then top people in the FBI, the d O J. They're leaking before and after Donald Trump becomes president, before to stop him from winning, and propagandas in the American people after to undermine his victory, undermine the will of the people. And they even have a media leak strategy to do it to that that would trigger the Special Council, which it appears it did. Um I I can't believe this is happening in our country. It's the worst thing I've ever seen. I thought the I R. S. Targeting was the worst until this came along. And I want to thank you Sean for you You have the entireless on this issue. You and a handful of reporters are all that covered this thing. But this is as bad as it gets what what they did, what they did is never supposed to happen in this country. And as I travel around the country and around the fourth District of Ohio every single day, I just just came from a lunch meeting where people talk about this every single day. Someone will come up to me said, I am so sick of this double standard where there is one set of rules for the connected class in Washington, Comyn Clinton, Lunar these kind of folks, and a different set of rules for us regular people. And that is what has got to change. And again I applaud the present for what he's doing on this, the fight he's had, and what you've been doing to expose the wrongdoing that took place at the FBI. Well, we also have some you know, new information as well, newly released truck page tax by the way, that isn't there fifty of them? Yeah, there's a bunch of them. And we've been we look our staff and Mark Meadows staff in particularly Well, they've been digging through this stuff trying to find out just exactly what they're talking about, using using information that they're leaking as a pretext to go after Americans and question them, using their power in their position. Uh. The latest one discussing an open case and quote a formal chargeable way after James Comey was fired, despite the fact the Page told congressional investigators that after nine months that they had zero evidence of Russian collusion, which then explains their media strategy, which was to leak to get the appointment of Mueller. That's what Comey's deal was. And then it reminds us is this the insurance policy? Well, we don't know, but we do know what Lisa pageant that's set in the deposition. All up until the time Mueller's name May seventeen, seventeen, all eleve until that time, they still had zero evidence of any type of coordination. Between that's nine or ten months of investigation we're talking about. Yeah, they've been investigating that. They started, They launched the investigation on July thirty one of sixteen. They got the five day in October, so still all the way after they'd renew the fized a few times and they still didn't have any evidence. But what we do know is what you just pointed out. The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Cooey, who hired Fusion GPS, who hired Boust or his wife Nelly Or, who then hired Christopher Steele, who a foreign national, put together a document that was not true to take to a court. You know, Christopher Steele talked to Russians, when you put the document together, take into a court to go spying the other campaign. There was the collusion not on our side. So that this is this is the frustrating part. And so many Americans are just have had it with this, and they said, get this information out there so we can see exactly how they did it all. You know, I think the precipitous of this. And you know, I've not had the ability to see any of this. I just haven't. And um, but everybody that I asked that does know. I just asked them all is that you know? Where is it in a one to ten scale? And everybody says a ten. I think one person said a nine. I mean is that way you hear? I mean, I don't know what you have access to it's certainly more than I do. But yeah, I think it's gonna be good information. I mean good in the sense we're gonna we're gonna be able to put it all together in even more clear way. I think it's clear right now, but I think in a in an even clearer way what they did. Um, But I don't like to get ahead it. I'll just say when it comes out, let's let's read through it, let's figure it out. Like I said, I'm really looking forward to seeing every all these text communications that that from came and McCabe and Struck and Page and Bruce or I want to see all that as they're talking amongst themselves. As you said, Sean, these were the key people. These are the ones who ran the Clinton investigation and launching ran the Russian investigation. So I want to see it all all right. Jim Jordan's of the Freedom Caucus. Thank you for being with us. He's also running. All right, My friend one, Shawn is our number. Let's go to Donna's in Iowa. Don High, how are you glad you called? Sir? Hi, Sean, thank you for taking my call. I really appreciate James O'Keefe and I appreciate you being the conduit for free information in this country. Thank you. Um. Trying my best, and there's a few of us out here that are fighting hard in what is an informational crisis because everybody's so agenda driven and just lying in the mainstream media every day. It's corrupt as it's ever been. Well, you do more uh in a in a week than I could do it in eight years in the Marine Corps. Thank you, No, no, no, I don't believe that. Thank you for your service, sir. What's on your mind? Well, I'm following about this whole thing with Judge Judge Kavanaugh with this uh, with this accusation in Diane fine stan Hole ating on it for six weeks. And yes, she had this UH information and held it and I suspect that she held it all this time because she knew it was nothing in in how fake it looked. But this is this is a hail Mary, listen it is. It sounds like you have a wind tunnel there. Um. You know, Look, this is what the Democrats do. That's why every American I'm saying, I urge you to be fair minded. All right, So this woman makes an accusation, they knew it in July. It's very suspicious their past history of smearing and slandering, especially Supreme Court nominees as well, chronicled Um. I think there's a certain original, healthy degree of skepticism everybody should be should have. And I say, let's let the woman talk now. Apparently, according to everybody, she's been invited and she has not yet fully accepted the invitation of the Senate Judiciary Committee. And Charles Grassly said, well, if that's the case, then they might end up canceling Judge Kavanaugh's, you know, appearance Monday as well. If the woman wants to come forward, I say, that's fine. Let her tell her story and explain it, and let Judge Kavanaugh respond. And but this is thirty six years ago, and there are a lot of women that clerked for Kavanaugh, a lot of women that knew him back when he was in high school, a lot of women that knew him in Yale, a lot of women that knew him at Harvard, a lot of people that worked with him in the Bush White House, a lot of people that worked with him in the last thirty six years. Let them all tell their story, and then we look at the entirety of one's life and what everybody says about him. Uh, And and I think then the Senate decides. And you know, I think there are a lot of unanswered questions here. Um, is it possible somebody doesn't remember the year that something like this can happen? I I actually I could see that that could be a possibility. But let her coming in and tell her story. And I think Congress has an obligation to look at the entirety of his life. And Uh, I don't know why if she said she didn't want to be public. Lindsey Graham brought up a point last night that I agreed with, And why did she get a polygraph at that point? Um that you know, at that point, it sounds maybe this maybe she had ideas that she was going to go public and thought that would help her. There's something that is not right here in terms of her not appearing. I don't know what it is. It sounds fishy because they said they wanted to appear, they were willing to appear, So I don't know what it's about, but we'll find out by next Monday for sure. Anyway, thanks for the call. I appreciate it. I wrapping things up? What a day? What news never stops? Will she or won't she? Is the headline on the Drudge Report, Professor Ford, Is she gonna go or not go? Um? It's interesting. I just got this. Chad program works for the Fox News Channel, quotes a colleague of Diane Feinstein, Connor Marley uh saying that, well, in other words, says about Ford. Feinstein on Ford saying that is a woman that has been I think profoundly impacted on this. I can't say that everything is truthful. I don't know what does Diane Feinstein saying there, well, have more details At nine, we have some of the women that know Kavanaugh. We've got a lot of news to break tonight, and we'll have it all for you. Nine Eastern Hannity on Fox. Thanks for being with us, See you tonight. Back here tomorrow.
