It's obvious that programs like this, shows like I have on the Fox News Channel, after watching as much as I could possibly handle over the weekend, are needed. In my humble opinion, and I don't say this arrogantly, although it'll be taken that way. More than ever, there's developing in this country a group think swamp mentality that is beyond inexplicable at this point. And I remember writing somebody before they went to the White House, and I remember saying to them that I hope you're ready, and I hope you get a good lawyer. This person like huh. And by the way, the people I've sent it to a number of people that whose names, all of which you would no and they're like what what? And that I said, anything you've done up until your life at to this point is kindergarten compared to the arena you're about to enter. And know this that the deep state swamp I said it needs turn not verbatim I'm paraphrasing, is going to resist your father and his change agenda so much so that they're gonna take as much collateral damage as they possibly can. You have you have experienced nothing like this in your life. One of the people wrote me back just a few minutes ago on a text and said, Wow, I had no idea. You were more right than I ever thought possible. And and that's a lot of what we're gonna address today. We have a lot of topics that we're gonna get into. One is one hour from right now. You've been hearing about the hacking, the ransomware want to cry ransomware, and hundred and fifty countries UH that are attacked and although apparently nothing within our government yet, cyber attacks that started Friday or now spread all throughout Europool, and and they're worried about their systems. We see, you know, it's world web, world war web is what Drudge called it today. Putin is out there blaming the u S, which I find interesting. You got this computer bug spreading all day to day, experts playing catch up, trying to stop the damage and limit the damage. Um. Apparently you have articles out there suggesting that a lot of the software could have actually originated within our intelligence community. That'll be interesting to see if whether or not that's true over time. By the way, that would be in fitting with exactly what Julian Assan said. How many times have I said, Julian Assange is good for America in this way, and nobody wanted to listen to me. Julian Assans when he was sixteen hacked into NASA, that the Haartment of Defense, another government agency, sixteen. He's not sixteen anymore. How old is junitally Julian Assans today do even though forty I don't even know. And for years he's been warning that this is coming. And remember he did the release of the Sea he's forty five years oldmember, he did the c I A Fault seven release, and I tried to do a deep dive into that. I'll be honest, it's it's not my area of expertise. I'm just not. That's why we have experts coming on in the next hour. And he tried to remind you. And if you're missing what's happening, I mean it's it's not it's really beyond the pale. And as much as what they're trying to do here. You know, you've got this ransomware attack like that comes up on your computer and it's now hit more than a couple of hundred thousand victims a hundred and fifty countries and many organizations and people are wondering if whether or not they are at risk for an attack. And anyway, apparently he runs on the Windows operating system. That means that's I've been having so many problems with Windows recently because they're trying to update constantly, and you know, most people are figuring. I will also get into how you can protect yourself and your family. But what happens when this thing comes flying into your system is well, they basically store up all of your data. It starts with an unsolicited email, typically designed to trick the victim and the clicking on a detachment or going to some web page. Then the ransomware leverages flaws and the computers operating system in this case Microsoft, and force it to run a ransomware code. And then the ransomware and crypts important files on the system and demands a ransom payment using the political using the digital currency Bitcoin that they have. And then the want to cry ransom uses the Windows Florida, replicate itself and spread around the entire computer network, just basically blowing you up. And I have to wonder, right, is our electrical grid save and we save? What about all these businesses and Asia disrupted by the cyber attack and now authorities bracing for more. I mean, it's pretty bad. So we'll get to that later in the program. And you know, an FBI says that never never examined. You know, think back to this when you're talking about the FBI. And we'll get into this later today. But you know, at some point, we've got to realize cybersecurity is real, and we've been warning about it, We've been discussing it, we've been talking about it, we've been telling you the dangers of it, and other people have not. And I am saying that this is a real national security issue anyway. So some of the things we're gonna get to today is I'm gonna get into the issue of leaks at the White House for just a minute, and then we're gonna get into the call me what what the feeding friends and media is not telling you about James comey, James Coley had to be fired. And I'll explain this hour why he had to be fired and why he had to be let go. And you know all of the the hysteria now that is in the media and the swamp that is wanting to do everything within their power to destroy Donald Trump because he threatens the entire system. I mean, you have an alliance now emerging. I noticed that the never Trumpers people started coming out late last week and then never Trumper people, you know, they're interesting to watch, and then never Trumper people come out and all the only reason they've come out, The only reason they've been silent is because what are they gonna say about Neil Gorsts. What are they gonna say about reducing regulation as the President has done. What are they gonna say about the President opening Keystone into the Coda pipeline and bringing the coal industry to a place where they can actually do business again, and getting rid of Obama era regulations that have been so burdensome to that industry as well as many other energy sector industries. You know, what are they gonna say when the president, you know, fighting liberals in his own party, you know, is able to advance the first steps towards eliminating and repealing and replacing Obamacare. What are they gonna say when he's he's taken the first steps to sending education back to the States, So are the first steps towards executive orders against those people that come from countries that practice Shariah. It's only seven countries. Never was a Muslim band. But it certainly is the right of Americans to know the mindset of people coming into this country, especially if they have values, to come from countries with values that deeply contradict our own constitutional values, or building a wall for security, you know. So there's a lot in play here, and the never Trumpers have had to be quiet, and now I noticed over the last week that they're getting a little louder. And what you see is an unholy alliance that I never really thought would emerge. But you've got the entire DC swamp, as represented by the media that since they end now in a feeding frenzy mode in the media, there's all group think. They just they can't believe Trump won. They can't get over it. They've been advancing one tinfoil had conspiracy theory after another, and they have now aligned with the weak Republicans that never supported the president even when he was their candidate, and then you have the never Trump for people that you know, they've been hoping and praying. They wanted to release my obituary in my career on November nine, and they're so mad at me because they can't release that obituary, and nor do they want to face the truth about how wrong they were and how Trump is advancing a very conservative agenda on most fronts with deep resistance, like the resistance I've never seen before. And then you've got to add to that. You know, you've got the media, Then you've got Republicans week Republicans. Then you've got Democrats that have always hated him, and then you've got the deep state that's obviously hating him and leaking on him and trying to destroy him. As Chucky Schumer said six Ways from Sunday that you better not take on the intelligence community. They're gonna they're gonna tear you up and spit you out. So you've got all of this happening, and sadly, what is even making the problem worse is there was a political article that Drudge linked to is the top of his page last week, thirty one people in the White House House they site or connected to the White House that are leaking against the president. Maggie Hagerman over the New York Times. I think it was hor article that's at thirteen or fifteen or eighteen sources close to the president giving the president's mindset on James Colemey before the firing. And I'm thinking, now, if you have the honor of working in that House and serving the American people, which should be the reason you're working in the White House, then you've got to be committed to the promises the President made to the American people. And yet I see all of these leaks, and it seems like so many people around the president now have their own agenda, and I don't know who they are. I can't, you don't. I have my suspicions. I think that there's a lot of people that have their own agendas around him, and that they're fighting. And now that now the President is, according to reports, thinking about a significant change of those people around them, and that just makes his job twice as hard. And I don't understand the mindset that doesn't go there with with the attitude I've got to serve the country, that it's an honor to be in that house, that it's an honor to be able to serve a president that you believe in the agenda, not your agenda, his agenda, the promises he made to the American people because he believes that will get the country back on course after eight horrific years of Barack Obama. So you know, it's it's become enormously difficult. And on top of that, I have a I'll make it short and sweet. But now the deep state media, with with the sense of smelling blood in the water, they made it impossible for Sean Spicer to do his job or Sarah Huckabee to do her job, and they just out for their gotcha moment every single minute of every single day. And I personally think in the day and age of the president having what between fifty and a hundred I don't know how many has he has to Twitter accounts as that real Donald Trump at potus and and he has Instagram. I don't know how many people are on Instagram. He has Facebook, millions on Facebook, and he doesn't really need the media. So why are we going to do the dog and pony show act every day where the media every you know, CNN starts and then ABC NBCCBS start and all those reporters want is their moment to look like they're the toughest so they can show it on their individual network. They're not looking for policy information to pass on to the American people. They have their own agendas. And it's gotten so hostile and so bad so quickly. I don't see any problem with the President saying all right, there's a new and better way to do this that creates a less hostile environment for everybody, and that actually helps inform the American people and what they should do. And the Press Office, in my opinion, is every day they should take the top ten twenty stories of the day that they know they're gonna be questioned on, and they ought to print up before they do the one o'clock two o'clock briefing every day, the answers to all the predictable questions, go out and hand it to every person in the White House Briefing room, in the press room, and then stand at the podium answering those questions. If they want a little more texture or context to what the written answers are, and if they want to ask something else, they can, and you can say, I'll get back to you tomorrow and that and that will be part of our our written response tomorrow. Now, that's what I would do, because you can't have leaking and you can't have an environment where the media is just trying to play gotcha and the so called one conservative over at NBC News, Joe Scarborough, Oh, the main you know, seasons. If there's articles of impeachment he's talking about today for what Joe, for what it drawn up against Donald Trump, it will be the first article of appeachment will be the same as Richard Nixon obstruction of justice. Now, I'll lay out the reason why called me had to be fired by any standard in a minute. I'll do it on TV tonight with the accompanying tape. But it's so far beyond group think hysteria. It's sobering how insane people have gotten. Anyway, we'll get to that. We'll get to your calls also, and we'll check in with our cyber experts later in the program. At the top of the next hour, we're gonna tell you about a race in South Carolina that is Freedom Caucus versus the Chamber of Commerce. Sarah Carter, the senior National Security correspond to Circuit News, we're gonna look at the crimes that Comey gave Hillary a pass on how does she how does she get a pass? And Christian Saucia gets a year in jail. I know two things about you. You believe an objective, absolute truth. There's such a thing as black and white, not just shades of gray. And when it comes to politics, you like to think, not emote. But do you think like this when it comes to ethics, religion, and morality.

Amen? Brother? You agree? I mean it is now There is a group think shark blood water mentality that is now emerged and it's every disparate group, if you will, a coalition of bizarre partners that has emerged. Never Trumper's weak timid Republicans that are part of the establishment problem. And the swamp problem. It's the media which can't deal with the fact they were so wrong and hate the president that much than Democrats, and it is it's sort of like a perfect coalition. No, I think they have the president. No, is there any evidence of Russian collusion. No, But any little thing that they might deem that they can somehow tinfoil conspiracy hat grab onto a hold on too. They're going to do it, and you know, and then you got I think the most telling in this is the emergence or re emergence of the never Trumper movement. They've been relatively quiet since the election. I haven't really been celebrating his successes. They've been waiting for him to fail. And they've been waiting to jump back in and and bring me back into the mix because they wanted my obituary out there for all to see on November nine. That this isn't about me. I'm just making a point, but I represented somebody that supported him. I do think that net effected. This is actually like everything else in life, it's gonna boomerang and it's gonna backfire. And when Trump spoke, the President spoke to Liberty University at their commencement address this weekend. I noticed when he goes directly to people, he's able to circumvent the whole swamp. I don't know how long that lasts, or whether it lasts forever, I mean, but he does have this intangible something that connects with people on a very deep and profound level, where every narrative that they advanced that he's crazy, corrupt, the Russians, the Russians, the Russians, he's able to transcend it all in every speech and every town hall and every appearance that he's making. Maybe doesn't do as well in the interviews, but that is, you know, when he's in front of the people that like him, that elected him for a reason, all the things that I talked about, the successes that nobody will give him credit for, I guess, but me and the few others. He's at his past. He's on his game alright now till the top of the hour one. Shawn, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza, you know, it's funny watching on Crowing Frustration. Where is the Evidence? Byron Yorke wrote a good piece Where is the Evidence about the you know about the Russia probe? How long has this now gone on? All right before the election, after the election, but really the narrative just it just kept taking on new urgency and energy, even without any evidence. Because the Democrats Hillary in particular, they needed an excuse, and the excuse was how did they lose? You know, when you really think about and calls for a special prosecutens, that's only to delegitimize, hurt the president and try and distract and and literally harp on this every day so he can't advance his agenda. That's what they want more than anything else. They want to stop Trump from being successful advancing his agenda. Then they can then they'll feel better about themselves and their failed policies will become a distant memory by the next election. That's their political strategy and all of this, you know, So the FBI, we got to houses of Congress, the House, and the Senate investigating James Comey, question after question after question, no evidence, no evidence, no evidence. You know, it's how how did we get here? When does this ever end? When did the American people have ever get a definitive answer about any of the issues involving the president? You know, now, there's so much to so many different nuances here. You know my answer, James Colemy, I can't answer that about you know with how but this is the guy that went out there and exonerated Hillary Clinton on July five, which we'll get to in a second. I can't answer this about the Russian probe. When can you answer it? Sally Yates? He never asked the question about the Russian probe. James Clapper first says no. Now he's being political, showing up on MSNBC almost daily. I predict James Coleman is going to be a contributor of hosting his own show probably within a month on NBC. Fits right into their tinfoil hat conspiracy lineup, and he's gonna write his book and do a movie and and go out there on the speaking mash potatoes circuit, work for NBC and trash Trump and make a living of trashing Trump, just kind of like Colbert and Bill Maher Saturday Night Live. We'll have record ratings because they hate Trump. Crowd is loud, they are, they're energized, and and they're they're actually believing the conspiracies, which just feeds their energy. Conspiracy theory TV is good news. It's fake news. But it's you know, it's good news for liberals. Yes, the Russians are coming. You know, is this all festers? You know, you've got ranking members, the Democrats, Republicans of the Senate Judiciary Committee. They're pushing the FBI other agents. Let Congress know what they're doing. And as Byron York pointed out, the lawmakers wanted see evidence of any evidence is the why this investigation is focusing not just on Russia. Misty tell us tell the American people what it is anyway, Charles Grassley, he actually and the ranking member Diane Feinstein sent a letter to the FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe and the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein the man briefings on the latest in the Russia investigation. Last paragraph of the letter, as York points out, that the senator's patients is running thin, please contact the staff by five pm today to schedule the briefings. Grassle and Finstein Wright, it's bad for the country. It's been it's a false narrative that's bad for the country. And you know, does that mean that the deep state, as Chucky Schumer Warren, is gonna come out after after the president because they can get you six ways and Sundays Ran Paul, by the way, said another senator was surveiled by the Obama administration, which is another reason why for crying out loud, you know, callmey had to go. The only one crime we know was committed is not being investigated. That was the amasking and leaking of intelligence as it relates to General Michael Flynt. And then it gets louder. You got representative coming the rest of invest Russia investigations a fight for the soul of our democracy now, as Peter King rightly pointed out, there's more evidence of links between Russia and Hillary than Russian and Trump, i e. The uranium one deal that I went into in great detail the other day. You know, if you go back to the original letter and you go back to the original comments on July fifth, we start doing a deep dive here. And as the memorandum by General Attorney General Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein said, the FBI has long been regarded as the nation's premier federal investigative agency, and the reputation of the FBI and their credibility or suffering substantial damage, and it's affected the entire Department of justice, and it's beyond troubling, and the current FBI director's articulate and persuasive etcetera, deserves our appreciation, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And I do not understand his refusal to accept the nearly universal judgment that he was mistaken and how he handled. First of all, it wasn't his jurisdiction. That was the role of Loretta Lynch, even if she was compromised the needed recusal. It was not his role to go out there and publicly exonerate Hillary Clinton. It was his role to turn over evidence that they gathered as it relates to Hillary Clinton, the email server, the Clinton Foundation, etcetera. And almost everyone agrees that the director made mistakes. One of the few issues is Rosenstein pointed out that unites people of diverse perspectives and we got this, you know, so on that level, and then there's the level of this Hillary Clinton committed multiple felonies. Hannity, how can you say that? What do you know? Well, let's go to the FBI director and let's go to his own words, and let's go to July five, and let's go to what he said, because he himself laid out the case for indicting Hillary for thirteen solid minutes before he then said, never mind. Now everything you're about to hear. Hillary Clinton used multiple servers. Okay, you're not allowed to You're not allowed to remove classified, top secret, special access intelligence from the State Department. It's a crime. She put it on multiple devices. She sent and received multiple emails, you know, on our personal domain, millions of email fragments left on servers she wasn't using. By the way, we now certain five foreign intelligence agencies hacked her and her team was extremely careless, and that a hundred and ten emails containing classified information at the time that they were center received. Felony, felony. I don't know. We're gonna play one in three. And then of course there's the destruction of top secret information and emails. Let's listen to call me in his own words. Now, I have so far used the singular term else server in describing the referral that began our investigation. It turns out to have been more complicated than that. Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department, and she also used numerous mobile devices to send and to read email on that personal domain. As new servers and equipment were employed, older servers were taken out of service, stored, and decommissioned in various ways. Piecing all of that back together to gain as full and understanding as possible of the ways in which personal email was used for government work has been a painstaking undertaking, requiring thousands of hours of effort. For example, when one of Secretary Clinton's servers was decommissioned in two thousand and thirteen, the email software was removed. That didn't remove the email content, but it was like removing the frame from a huge unfinished jigsaw puzzle and then dumping all the pieces on the floor. The effect was that millions of email fragments ended up in the servers, unused or slack space. We searched through all of it to understand what was there and what parts of the puzzle we could put back together again. FBI investigators also read all of the approximately thirty thousand emails that Secretary Clinton provided to the State Department in two thousand and fourteen. FBI investigators also read all of the approximately thirty thousand emails that Secretary Clinton provided to the State Department in two thousand and fourteen, where an email was assessed as possibly containing classified information, the FBI referred that email to any government agency that might be an owner of that information, so that agency can make a determination as to whether the email contained classified information at the time it was sent or received, or whether there was reason to classify it now, even if the content had not been classified when it was first sent or received. And that's the process sometimes referred to as up classifying. From the group of thirty thousand emails returned to the State Department in two thousand fourteen, one ten emails in fifty two email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was top secret at the time they were sent, thirty six of those chains contained secret information at the time, and eight contained confidential information at the time. That's the lowest level of classification Separate from those, About two thousand additional emails were up classified to make them confidential. Those emails had not been classified at the time that they were sent or received. The FBI also discovered several thousand work related emails that were not among the group of thirty th emails returned by Secretary Clinton to State in two thousand and fourteen. We found those emails in a variety of ways. Some have been deleted over the years, and we found traces of them on servers or devices that have been connected to the private email domain. I don't know what else to say except that if you know anything about the law, you know that there's James call me the FBI director. And remember, keep this in context. Christian Sacier is in jail for a year, leaving his mother, wife and baby daughter behind because he had six pictures. Forget about the emails contained classified information at the time they were sent and received. Found several thousand work emails that Hillary had not turned over to the State Department. That, by the way, it's called obstruction of justice. I'm just, you know, throwing that out there. He gets a year in jail and he gives her a pass. Now, fundamentally, this is about the rule of law. This is about equal justice under the law. Then you had Michael Flynn and the surveillance and unmasking and legal of intelligence, and now we've got Fourth Amendment violations and Rampaul and how many others were surveiled, and was the intelligence agencies using their powers, which by the way, I support wholeheartedly for national security reasons, but was it was there nefarious activities by a few. It was like one bad cop doesn't make every cop bad, by a few that used intelligence gathering for political purposes in an election season, and sixteen based on the number of those surveiled, unmasked and the amount of leaks, I'd say the answer is yes. The answer is yes. And so you've got a feeding frenzy that's beginning and just slowly and surely begin to just you know, it's it's like they sensed bolt in the water, and unholy alliances now emerged. And the alliance and this this new normal is destroy the president at all costs and destroy those around him. And you know it's possible. Even in that July fifth press conference, I don't have time to play it now, call me admitted. Then before we found out its nine certain that yeah, hostile actors gain access to Hillary Clinton's email through people she was in contact with her on her account. Do you know what that means? Top secret classified intelligence information, by the way, including if I remember correctly, video surveillance of North Korea's nuclear sights. Do you realize that there's a potential that operatives on the ground could have been killed as a result of a recklessness. Now I'm not even including uranium one and her personally as Secretary of State signing off on a deal that gives of America's uranium and Vladimir Putin. Nobody in the media cares about that. We're so upset by the way about influencing elections. Nobody cares that Obama used taxpayer money to try and unseen Benjamin Nett Yahoo and influence an election. It's okay if Obama does it and it's against our closest ally, that's fine. And the amount of double standard here is breathtaking. The feeding frenzy is breathtaking lack of truth. I'm just looking for simple fundamental fairness, truth, adherence, fidelity to truth, the rule of law, the constitution. You can't have a justice system for the Clintons and then one for the rest of America. You can't live. You don't have a republic if you don't have equal justice under the law. You don't have freedom. If government entities or individuals can use the highest level of of surveillance weaponry against political opponents. That's a banana republic, and that's the environment we now find ourselves in. And then you've got the coalition. You've got the never trumpers now joining the destroy Trump media, now joining the destroyed Trump Democrats, now joining the weak Republicans that never supported Trump, joining the swamp people that is all of Washington. And they effort us to destroy the president. They may succeed. I don't know. I just don't know. And if they can't find anything, why do I believe they'd make it up? You're paranoid, Hannity. That's that you're a paranoid. You've lost your mind. I don't think so. Yeah, And yours sound like a tinfoil high conspiracy theorist. No, I think the hate for Trump is that palpable, that real. I put nothing past these people. I'm trying to tell you truth you won't get elsewhere. I'm gonna lay this all out tonight in a monologue. Then I'm gonna lay out how the White House needs to deal, how they need to change the White House Press Office. Ten Eastern Tonight, lower ingram j secular. We have such a good show tonight, Sarah Carter much more so, if the CIA, which is certainly is highly motivated to try and keep control of its cyberweapons arsenal, if it can't even control its entire cyberweapons arsenal because information can flow without oversight, then what is the chance that it can control how that arsenal is used. It doesn't, It can't. There's there's absolutely nothing to stop a random CIA officer or contractor or liaison agent working for the British using that technology against whoever they like, for whatever personal reasons they like. And we have quite a lot more material that talks about these attempts to throw off attribution to discover who was really behind a particular cyber attack, unless, of course, that China has already gotten hold of these parts of the CIA arsenal and that China is using them to pretend to be the CIA. All right, our to Sean Hannity shows we shift gears here a little bit of you haven't paying attention to this, you better start paying attention because there is now a world web war that is going on that probably by the end of this is going to impact every man, woman and child on this earth. And it's that serious. Now. If you don't know you've got this computer bug that is now spreading as experts now playing late in the game, playing catch up and trying to limit the damage. And that's the best they can do at this particular point. You've got Asian governments and business has now disrupted. You've got worries and fear about the electric grid here in the US, You've got critical infrastructure operators now affected. And it is Microsoft is claiming stolen US government codes are fueling this attack. That was basically what a long time ago Julian Assange and one of his press conferences had warned about. You know, we took the time, we went to London, Julian Assange talked at length. Then he were released what was it called the seven wiki leaks, released seven whatever hacking Vault seven. He released Vault seven and then nobody paid attention. And he also talked at length about how the n s A created cyber tools where they could actually put attribution of a type of surveillance and blame other governments like Russia, like Vladimir Putin, like the Iranians and pretty much the Chinese, anybody they wanted to attribute it to. They would put the fingerprints of those hacking tools that are used by those governments onto an attack that they themselves may have made. Now, Hannity, you're going against our own our own security people. You're going against our own surveillance and our own n s A. And see, I know I'm not I'm saying that we need as a means of self defense, we need to be able to spy on those that would bring us harm. That is just part and parcel of a good national security system. But and if we have surveillance of Americans ignoring Fourth Amendment protections, then we have the umasking of America that were incidentally picked up in some type of wire tap legal or not against you know, for example General Flynn and the Russian ambassador. Okay, that's a that's legal, but they're post to minimized. Then they're not supposed to unmask, and then they're certainly not supposed to leak the intelligence which has happened. And that's all part of the firing at James Comey, which I was talking about in the last hour. Well, now we have an article out today cyber security isn't a hypothetical problem. Today shows it can be life or death. And the headline is n s A created cyber tools, spawns global attacks and victims include Russia. Vladimir Putin is blaming the US UM and if we don't get to the bottom of this, Microsoft warning the ransomware cyber attack as a wake up call, many firms and experts working over the weekend to prevent new infections. The virus took control. Now, one of my biggest complaints is, you know, at some point after Julian Assange at sixteen hacked into the NASA and hacked into the Department of Defense and hacked into our intelligence agencies so many years ago, and we don't put any cyber security measures in place to stop it. My argument is you can blame nobody but ourselves at that point, because you've had ample warning, decades of warning here, especially the last eight years. And then you've got more victims today after what started on Friday. In terms of all these cyber attacks, anyway, here are experts we have. Brian Finch is the co chair of the Cybersecurity Practice as Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman, and Kirk web is a former senior analyst for the n s A. Bill Benny is the Warmer Technical Director of the n s A World Geo, Political, and Military Analysis of Reporting group. And you may remember Bill as a whistleblower after thirty some odd years at the ns A. Welcome all of you to the program. Brian, let me begin with you. And and how do you analyze these attacks? And and am I correct in saying that we have had ample warning to build up cybersecurity and safety and we haven't done it? You know, Sean, I think you're absolutely right. You said something really interesting, he said that this is attack is a wake up call. You know. I would actually modify that a little bit and say, look, we've had more wake up calls than a teenager on a Monday school morning. And we've had so many cyber attacks over the years, from a variety of different sources, from a variety of different actors, from nation states, from individuals, from anonymous groups, activists, et cetera. Everybody should have the message at this point when it comes to cybersecurity and a threat of cyber especially our government. I mean, do you think that our grid, our electric grid could be in jeopardy from something like this? No, I you know, not something like this, but in general, in general, there's always a possibility. But there's a difference between possible and probable. Is it possible absolutely? Is it probable likely not? The The electric in the critical infrastructure invested so heavily in cybersecurity that it it's it's difficult to foresee an act that would take that down that was not also overtly an attack of war by a foreign government like a North Korea or Russia. It's not as if some random hacker and a basement or some small criminal group is really going to be able to conduct an extraordinarily destructive attack on the grid because of the investment those companies have made over the years. So I'm less concerned about that than I am what I call sort of a cyber Lehman Brothers type of scenario, where you have an attack on an unsuspecting business that has invested but can only do so much, and you get a result that it locks down the business, destroys its data within a week or two. They're possibly facing a bankruptcy scenario that I think is more realistic than the lights going out. Bill Benny, you spent thirty some on years at the n s A. And you have told me on this program before that every email, every text message, every phone call is be a metadata stored against every American and violation of our Fourth Amendment constitutional rights. What do you make of this? What is the latest attack now impacting some at least hundred and fifty countries. My problem, I've had a problem with this for a number of years, and I've been, you know, publicly voicing my concerns that this is a set of software attacks that have been being been collected and developed since since the early nineteen nineties, and it's something they've known about all along, but they've what it. What it means is in the operational side of n S A or A. What that that that gives them the ability to see in through firewalls, operating systems, things like that, to get into what people have in their computers and see what they're doing, and also drain their computers and take the data out. So, uh, what they've been doing is knowing these weaknesses but not telling anybody so they don't get fixed. So what their essence making us all vulnerable over this long period of time knowing about these problems but not fixing them, and not telling anybody to fix the Microsoft or anybody else. And so when we get attacked, what they do is they come around and say, we need more money for cybersecurity. And I've been calling this a swindle for a number of years because fundamentally they know what the problems are. I mean, they could have stopped the OPM attack years ago. You know, you is Julian Assan's right that if you look at the cyber Vault seven release, and I spent a lot of time actually doing as big a deep dive into that as I possibly could. It's a little more technical for my area of expertise to be blunt. But do you think that a lot of this has been created by our own security agencies? Do they have the ability to put fingerprints of other countries on it? Are there things happening that are unsavory within our own intelligence community that were you? Absolutely? I mean they've been doing this all along, and that's been my point. And and and they swindle us when they went an attack occurs, we get swindled. We need more money for cybersecurity. Well, why don't you fix the problems you know about and then maybe we'll have some cybersecurity. That's the problem I see. And and these people are so far are they They're they're so uh finite thinkers, and they're so narrow minded and and focused only on their objectives, they've failed to understand the greater impact on the world. And that's what the problem has been. What does your take, Kirk we Be, I mean you're a former senior analyst for the n Say what's your take on all this? Well, it's the government, Sean. What can I say? There are some things the government does well, some things it doesn't do too well. Um, I don't think they did a good risk assessment Shawn on this whole approach where they find holes in software being by you and me, exploit it accidentally, let it go out to the world to be used by criminals and who knows whom, only to turn around and ask us for money to pay to fix it all. Uh, we're paying for all this, We're paying for the dagger that stabs us. I guess is what I'm trying to say. And the process is very poorly managed. And let me go back to you, Brian Finch. I mean, you know you work in the private sector, but and so you see all the vulnerabilities. You can make certain that every single company that you work for is safe for every individual that you consult is safe for the company that you're working for. In other words, you can create a total wall of safety for the most part. You can make a lot of companies much safer, but nobody is completely safe. I mean, even if you put out a patch for every vulnerability, whether created by a criminal or by the n s A. And I will, I guess I'll oppose the other two. Learn a gentleman, with all with all due respect that I'm okay the n s A and the CIA creating vulnerabilities. That's their job. I want them to break into foreign governments. I want them to break into criminals. And I don't disagree at all with that. I agree, And I just want to know that I can trust them not to, you know, like in the case of General Flynn do it to Americans if you don't have a warrant, that's all well well, And I agree with that too. And it's actually interesting, Sean, because you'll probably see later this week legislation that's been thought about for a while, certainly predating the want to cry UH situation by by several months, if not a year. From two UH senators, one Democrat, one Republican, Ron Johnson, who's the great chairman of the Homeland Security Committee and Brian Schatz from Hawaii, who are going to put out legislation that's going to codify a process or for a White House review with some Congressional input on notifying companies of these vulnerabilities, especially when they have been identified and are being exploited by the intelligence agency. So you see Congress stepping up to the plate and imposing some of these controls. Worried people like you and me. You know, we don't want intelligence agencies running am UK. I don't necessarily think that they are. But at the same time, it's good to see that there they've got some two senators and you, well, I don't know if they're running a monk or not. I'd like to know the answer. If you listen to Bill Benny, they're running am UK. I mean that scares me, and I just hope it's not true. All Right, we'll continue Brian Finch, Bill Benny and Kirk wee Be. He wants to know what happened here. Let's get to the bottom of this. This investigation needs to continue. They need to get to the bottom of it. I think an independent commission is the most comprehensive way to get to the bottom of that. That's the only way we're gonna get to the bottom of this. It shows clearly that he does not want to get to the bottom of it. We need to get to the bottom of this. It would be in everyone's best interest to get to the bottom of this. Maybe the Republicans don't really want to get to the bottom of this thing. If anything, I think it's going to make them want to get to the bottom of this. Morning. Democracy can't function without trust. We've got to get to the bottom of this. We have to get to the bottom of what the heck happened here? All right? As we continue with Brian Finch and Bill Benny and Kirk Weeby, And of course the issue was now a hundred and fifty plus nations are under a huge, massive cyber attack, and uh, you know two things that came up we will Number one, we never had any evidence as it relates to Russia. That was a series of Democrats. Oh what about Russia. Let's get to the bottom of it. Let's get to the bottom of it. Okay, that's been going on for nearly a year at this particular point. But remember a couple of things happened. The FBI never examined the hack d n C servers because they would not allow it, and they brought in their own people, just like they offered immunity to individuals and then let them destroy the evidence. These are unprecedented moves by the FBI and those people involved in the so called Russia investigation. What's your take on all of this, Bill, Benny, Well, first of all, I'd say, I mean, the Democrats have sunk to the bottom. Uh. But secondly, uh, they certainly have. They're certainly ample evidence for probably cause to do a special prosecutor against what happened with the round the Hilly Rieck, Clinton and Democratic National Committee servers and everything. They're certain plenty of evidence to do that that there's no I mean, in order to have a special prosecutor going after somebody criminally, you have to have problem cause that there was a crime committed. So those are the crimes that I've seen and witnessed on television, even from Comey's mouth when he said them. H So as far as I'm concerned, you know, that's uh, that's really the basic issue where we need a special prosecutor, And what do you think, Yeah, the rest of it is an intelligence issue and that's being handled by the intelligence committees and the and the FBI intelligence UH and counter intelligence area. So I think that's the proper way to do it. And your thoughts, Yeah, I'm I'm particularly worried, Sean about the item that Sarah Carter and Mr Solomon have been reporting on, and that is the illegal unmasking, the illegal surveillance. Um. That is so that can and so full of worms. And I really don't hear any evidence that in an instigation is truly I'm going into that issue, um. And I worry about that because the longer you wait, it gives people more time to cover their tracks. Now, I agree, and we'll give the final word to Brian Finch. Brian, you know, those whole thing smacks of desperation, continues to smack a desperation on the behalf of Democrats were just still searching for some reason, some some duos X Machina as to why Hillary lost. I don't think they can still wrap their heads around the fact that she was just not a likable candidate. And you get the hints of Russia, which you and I talked about eighteen months ago saying, oh, this is likely gonna happen because she was so sloppy with her email and her devices, of course, and it wasn't gonna be the Russians. It was gonna be the Chinese, or the Iranians, or the North Koreans. And so these investigations will continue. It'll be a dry hole at the end of the day. There will never be a shred of evidence other than some smoke saying that the election was turned on the Russia, uh interference or news. But you will never find a voter much list a number, a critical massive voters who somehow changed their mind from Hillary to Trump and made this president's election anything less than what it was. All Right, I gotta I gotta take a break. This story is gonna get so big and so explosive, and you better pay attention because this is going to impact so many lives and governments at a level I don't think people are really fully aware of. Brian. Thank you, Kirk, Thank you Bill Benny, thank you eight nine one Sean. When we come back, there is a candidate in a runoff, important well primary tomorrow in South Carolina's fifth district. He wants to join the Freedom Caucus the establishment is fighting against him. Will introduce you to Ralph Norman. Then we'll get to your calls. At promise next half hour one. Shawn is our number, and Sarah Carter Uh, senior National security correspondent for Circuit dot Com. At the top of the next hour quick break, we'll come back. We'll continue straight ahead. I've lived my whole life here in South Carolina. It's where my values were shaved well. I raised my family, grew my business, learned to stand up from my principles and do the right thing. That's what I'll do for you in Congress. I'll pick up where Mick Mulvaney left off, term limits to end career politicians, a balanced budget amendment that cuts spending, a real plan to make Americans say from terrorism. I'm Ralph Norman, and I approved this message because we need more South Carolina values in Congress. All right, there is a runoff vote tomorrow, and you know that my support. The people that I trust the most, the people that I think are most in line with my thinking, are the Freedom Caucus and Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan and the thirty some odd people that are part of that caucus. I think for that Caucus to really have the impact, that we need to advance conservative principles now that we know, especially if the healthcare debate, that there are a hundred moderates that had no intention of actually repealing replacing Obamacare. Uh, we've got to grow the Freedom Caucus. Now, there is a special election in South Carolina tomorrow and this is the fifth Congressional district and it is to fill the place and replace Mick Mulvaney, and it's an important seat. And so anyway, I have looked at both candidates that are in this race, and one is the House Speaker pro Tem, this guy Tommy Pope, and he's endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, and I think basically you interpret Chamber of Commerce the way it needs to be interpreted, and that is moderate Republican. And then you have somebody that the Freedom Caucus has endorsed and supported and the Freedom Caucus is going to bat for and he has pledged to join the Freedom Caucus. And that is a person that Ted Cruizes out there campaigning with today and his name is Ralph Norman. And Mr Norman joins us now on the campaign trail. How's your day with Ted going. Oh, it's great. John that day, it was a great event. Uh, CenTra Cruise gave a great talk and uh, which is glad a head of here in South Carolina campaign the day before we go to the final vote. Well, you have Ted Cruiz's endorsement, and I honest they have other endorsements like the Club for Growth and their political arm and now for better or for worse, you're getting Sean Hannity's endorsement. Oh, well, I appreciate it. I tell you it's it's been an interesting race. Your endorsement means a lot. Mark Meat US has been a great supporter, and you're right. Uh. I was at a debate and it came up about Freedom Caucus and I said, absolutely the Conservatives, which is is what I am. And I just set off the bells and whussels and signings that went off, and I said I was willingly going to join the Freedom Caucus. My opponent, Mr Pope would not agree to join it, No would they asking But the shock of my life is when the US Chamber of Commerce back mus put a quarter of a million dollars to beat me, and uh, you know we're so so In other words, as soon as you're saying you want to be a part of the Freedom Caucus, all of a sudden, fire alarms go off and amongst the establishment Republican base, and then they put in how much money do you think they put into this race to defeat you? Over quarter of a million dollars. I mean it's some. So this is just Republicans trying to repeat to defeat a conservative. They don't want a conservative. What what is the difference between you and this this gentleman that you're running against, Tommy Pope. Well, he's he's a trial lawyer. He sues businesses that I create. Mr Pope is a workman's comp personal injury lawyer. He gets thirty of every claim that he's successful, and he's very successful at it. He's made a million dollars a year suing businesses on the on behalf of workman's comp. And for the Chamber, who I've been a member? I come and I'm in the real estate development business. But I member of the Chamber for sixty years. And when I called Ted Pits of the whose head of the state, and I said, you endorsing a trial lawyer who sues business and I'm a small business who pays dues into um into to support the Chamber And uh, I don't know, it's been a it's been a I did not that came out of the blue. I did not expect him. Yeah, well, I mean so you basically support the agenda, Mark Meadows and and Jim Jordan's and Dave Bratt and all these other conservatives that you know find themselves in a battle against the establishment in the leadership every day, right exactly. And that's why when when you look at that's why I'm so honored to have the markmatters to Senor Jim de Mint, to Scott Walker's, the nicky Haley's coming from Joe Wilson, the Lieutenant governor of South Carolina called me Saturday, Kevin Brhind said, Ralph is important to elect a true conservative. And I'm with you, David speech on the UH convention floor in Colombia. And that's why people, when you look at our voting records, sho, this is night and day. And that's why I so so outrageous that the Chamber of Commerce that depends on business for his livelihood. Tim Door, a guy like that, along with the trial lawyers. Well, I think it's very key. And by the way, I don't really have anything against Mr Pope. I don't, but I do want and need we do need desperately more real conservatives in the House of Representatives so that the leadership will be more responsive to the agenda that people sent them to Washington too and too to accomplish, including the president's agenda. Do you find anything in the president's agenda that you're disagreeing with right now? Absolutely not. I mean, look if you he's been in office for a hundred ten days and in fifteen days, look at what he's done to change the history of this the direction of this country with Neil Gorcers, he's right on that. Look at what he's done on regulations for everyone. May proposed is cutting two And you know, I'm just excited about serving with and and We've got too many rhinos and people who say one thing back home as Mr Pope does and does completely different when he gets in office in on state level. And that's why I make to serve on the federal level and back up his his plan for this country, which uh I think is the right plan for America. Well, I want to give you my full support and endorsement. I hope it doesn't hurt you, Mr Norman. Ralph Norman is running in the fifth district in South Carolina. Whoever wins this runoff tomorrow will likely very likely be the next Congressman from that district. And uh, well you actually will be. But beyond that, you'll also be winning in the future. As it's a pretty solidly Republican seat, correct, it is this it's been a great Republican seat ever since me John Spratt, and uh, and I think the people are buying into the message. And and I just want to give a shout out to the pluff of growth that had not been for them to combat the trial laws have been a six hundred thousand dollars to beat me. Uh, it would have been a tough race. But the Conservatives are coming out of the woodwork, and we're excited. All right, we appreciate it. We're gonna wish you all the best, uh tomorrow. And this is again the fifth District, South Carolina. Rou Norman, if you want to get the Freedom Caucus supporting member in that seat. Thank you for being one of us, Ralph, and we wish you the best tomorrow. We'll follow it closely. Thank you. So much and appreciate your endorsements anytime, Sir eight nine for one, Shawn to free telephone number. Tracy is in Texas a liberal. Tracy, Hi, how are you glad you called? I'm doing pretty good. Hey, Sean, let me ask him. But I'll get into another town. Know why I have to be labeled before you produced me? But here's my thing. I'm a real lawful listener. Are you a liberal? I asked good questions. Oh no, I'm not. Actually I have conservative value. Okay, who did you vote for in the last three elections for president? Who I voted for? Hillary? I voted for Obama and Obama. So you're that makes me a moderate? So that moment, because there's nothing moderate, but there's nothing moderate about Obama or Hillary. And you just proved my point. And everybody that's listening right now is laughing because you may trust me. I knew what you're saying when you asked me, But that was the choice I made baseball Who they who their opponent was? Right? I got it? And then the point is, why are liberals so afraid I'm a conservative. I have no fear saying I am a conservative. Trump is not well, excuse me, excuse me, I bet I beg to differ. The policies he ran on, you know, an originalist on the Supreme Court, on energy independence, eliminating regulation, the lowest tax cuts in the history of the country, even lower than Reagan's era, uh Obamacare, repealing and replacing it with free market solutions, education back to the states, building a wall, vetting refugees. Every single one of those agenda items are extremely conservative. I it's not about the man. To me, it's about what he stands for. And I supported him for what he stood for, and frankly, he's doing a pretty good job of fulfilling his promises. Those are all conservative positions. Went off on a tangent he called reason called because I've been assessing Trump's actions for the last dred thirteen fourteen days, and you know, I just want to say this to me. I feel he dangerous. But know you did zering on taxes, which I feel what would be the undoing of our country. And I'll stick with that since I was gonna really talk about the FBI program all that, but I'll go with the taxes. One of the most detrimental things I think is gonna happen to this country if he does give the Republicans where they want and peel back the taxes. And the reason why I say that is this, those corporations are already outsourcing jobs, America has already fled with illegal immigrants, and when he reduced that taxes, the whole tax burden is gonna fall on the American people who are already not having proper job, not gotta pay. Did you hear me? Let me finish. If we have the first any type of war or any type of nottdown, the United States is over because we will not have the source the income. Because no one's talking about death and deficit right now, dead or deficits. They're just talking about giving it. And I don't know why we keep thinking the corporations have to get money to give to us when it's the people who form corporations. So but but you know, be that as it made that, just like it hurt Underagans. Just I gotta break. But I'm gonna say one thing to you before before I leave. I I hear everything you're saying, but everything that you have voted for and support is the opposite way to get as evidenced by millions more in poverty millions more in food stamps, millions more out of the labor force, lowest you know, worst recovery since the forties, and the lowest home ownership rate since the what since in fifty one years? You you can say you support those things, but everything you have voted for and supported and the last three presidential elections don't get you there. And I can't spend the time to educate you on this. It just isn't gonna help. But I'm just telling you, if you were so right after eight years of Obama, all of that would have happened, and it didn't. And I'm saying that if we don't change course, well it's like, you know, how do you define insanity? Banging your head against the wall and expecting a different result, isn't You're not going to have a different result unless you change. And seeing the swamp, this change is nothing new to me, even the Republican swamp that never Trumper is coming out of the swamp smelling blood all weekend. Right as we continue Sean Hannity Show News round up in Information Overload coming up at the top of the next hour, Sarah Carter, who is the Senior National Security Correspondent, for Circa dot Com will join us. In the meantime, let's get to our phones. Uh. Let us say hi to Anna. She's in Cape Coral, Florida. What's up, Anna? How are you glad you called? Hey? Sean. Thanks, it's good to talk with you. Um. First of all, thanks for all you doing cutting through the crazy. UM. I have a thought about the Russian collusion conspiracy, and I don't understand why it talked about, more so with all the leaks that we've had over the last you know, ongoing number of months, not just about the Russian inclusion of everything else. That week there really was I'm sort of the smoking gun or some kind of actual real evidence. It would have been lead and the liberals and the media would literally be screaming at the top of their LUNs. I don't that's not talked about. Listen, show me the evidence. I still have an open mind. If there's any collusion, any evidence you know of some type of collusion that is a violation of the law, commits a crime in some way, I want I want to see what it is. And unless and until I'm tired of the tinfoil had conspiracy theories that pose as news every single night, every single minute of every single day. And you know, as I'm gonna lay out tonight on TV, I'm gonna lay out the law, the violations of the law. How Comey ignored the law, how he's not serving equal justice under the law, how he's ignoring even violations and the trampling of our constitutional rights in the Fourth Amendment, and why he needed to be fired. It had to happen. And yet you know, watching in the sharks with the blood that they sense in the water, and the never Trumper is now finally popping up their ugly head saying, we got him. This is what we've been waiting for. We never wanted him to succeed. See, And it's it's a pretty sad state of affairs, the amount of lies, distortion, propaganda, besmirchment, smearing that's going on in this country right now, and most of it is targeted at the president. It's sad that media in this country has now just become you know, tinfoil had conspiracy theory TV, and it is widespread and it's getting worse, and truth is now a casualty in all of this. There's no desire for truth. And I'm not saying Trump has been perfect. I am angry at the people that are supposedly serving their country in the White House. You have the honor to be in that House, and you work in that house. You don't have your own agenda. You're there to serve the country and serve the president's agenda, the promises he made to the American people. Or you need to get out of the house. You need to stop advancing your own agenda. That is becoming extremely problematic for the president. And but I will tell you this, I have se no there there, have never seen any there there. And I feel like an island that is trying to, you know, give some sense and truth to what has now become mass hysteria and mass group think. And you got even never Trump Republicans now they're they're feeling their case for vindication as we speak. Kind of a frightening time. All Right, News round up, Information overload as we continue Sean Hannity Show eight nine one, Sean, we'll get to your calls in the next hour as well. Stay right here for our final news round up and information overload. Now, I have so far used the singular term email server in describing the referral that began our investigation. It turns out to have been more complicated than that. Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department, and she also used numerous mobile devices to send and to read email on that personal domain. As new servers and equipment were employed, older servers were taken out of service, stored, and decommissioned in various ways. Piecing all of that back together to gain as full and understanding as possible of the ways in which personal email was used for government work has been a painstaking undertaking, requiring thousands of hours of effort. For example, when one of Secretary Clinton's servers was decommissioned in two thousand and thirteen, the email software was removed. That didn't remove the email content, but it was like removing the frame from a huge unfinished jigsaw puzzle and then dumping all the pieces on the floor. The effect was that millions of email fragments ended up in the servers, unused or slack space. We searched through all of it to understand what was there and what parts of the puzzle we could put back together again. FBI investigators also read all of the approximately thirty emails that Secretary Clinton provided to the State Department in two fourteen. I'm taking you back there by the way news round up information overload our one, Shawn. I'm going to do something that nobody in the media is going to ever do for you, and that is we're gonna lay out the case why James Comey needed to be fired, Why James Comey was not using the principle of equal justice under the law. Why James Comy, for whatever reason, became political in his application of the law, even ignoring the trampling of our Constitution and Fourth Amendment rights. In the case of General Michael Flynn, how he has allowed this ongoing, ridiculous Russian narrative without any evidence, to go on for almost what is now a year in this country and not set to to bed any of these investigations. The only one he's exonerated is somebody we know broke and violated numerous laws, and that's Hillary Clinton. And then there's some other people that violated laws I'm not even including with the email investigation, the mishandling of classified documents, top secret information, special Access program information, the destruction of top secret classified information, the destruction of special access information. The legal standard is gross negligence. He admitted that she had acted extremely recklessly in the handling of material. All of these things are felony, The destruction of such emails as a felony, and obstruction of justice. This is a no brainer. There's it's not even a close call. But yet he decided to make a political call for whatever reason. I don't know. But instead of the media narrative that has gone absolutely bizarre, conspiracy hysterical, nobody's pointing out that he did not do his job and that if we're not going to have equal justice under the law and an FBI director concerned about surveillance, even incidental surveillance, then unmasking and then intelligence leaking, then we need a new FBI director anyway. Sarah Carter is with US senior National Secure correspondent for Circuit dot Com. Welcome back to the program. Um, do you have is there any doubt in your mind that Hillary Clinton committed multiple felonies? And I don't know your answer to this, so not there to move forward with the case. And that's what I mean, that's what everybody was screaming mad about. I know that there were FBI sources that um I had spoken to during that time that were very upset, even people within the d o J, when Director Comy refused to push this case along, and that that was the problem. It never got to a point where it was thoroughly investigated and where it was brought before a jury where people were subpoena. So it was shut off, it was cut short, and nobody has these answers. What we do know is that she mishandled classified information. Right he said, we couldn't find intent. Well, you don't need intent, you you know, it's grows negligence under the law. And Hillary Clinton, of all people, and especially as Secretary of State and being a former first Lady, was very well aware of how you handle classified information. It wasn't that she was you know, this was this was because she had no idea she's going to handle it. This was very deliberate and so I think there were a lot of people that were extremely concerned about this. And and one of the reasons why, UM you heard so many people I'm speaking out when Director Komey refused to move forward with it, and and I mean on both sides. Yeah, okay, so I'm going to lay out the case using Comy's own words tonight in terms of what he says Hillary did and how she used multiple servers, by the way she lied multiple mobile devices. She lied she send, did send and receive email on a personal domain. Uh, and that these email fragments left on the servers that she wasn't using. That proved that she mishandled classified information, top secret information, special Access program information. She talked about her team being he talked about her team being extremely careless in their handling of this information. Well, that meets the legal standard of gross negligence by a long shot. Then we have a hundred and ten emails that he acknowledged contained classified information at the time they were center received. Now there's a guy named Christian Saucier, as I know, you know, Sarah, that is in jail for a year because he took six pictures of a submarine. Well, why is he go to jail and Hillary Clinton? What's the difference if any? No, they're really In fact, there was more evidence stacked up against Hillary Clinton than there was against Saucier. And you know, I've spoken to his mother and she is devastated. She um she has been pushing and pushing and pushing for this to be dropped, for the president, for President Trump to look at his case. And I know his attorney, and his attorney is now waiting to hear back from the d o J. He hasn't heard anything yet. He knows that his petition is there um and he's being held. And I mean that first they tried to accuse him of you know, taking photographs, rumored that we're possibly going to end up with like the Russians, and then they figured out that that wasn't true at all, uh, and so they pushed forward with the prosecution right around the same time they dropped everything on Hillary. So this is a very serious matter. I mean, Hillary Clinton, if we look at what happened with our personal email us and Sean you read the whole litany of of of of issues regarding that, but also the fact that they destroyed a number of emails, that a number of emails were destroyed and never recovered. I mean, anyone else who would have done this, um, I think would have paid a very heavy price. And think about the price that Sautier paid. And at that time it was legal to have you know, their cell phones on the submarines and like many young men, many who were his friends, who also took pictures of themselves on the submarine you know where they were working. Um, we're not charged with anything. In fact, they had a little slap on the hand and we're fined. Uh and um unfortunately Saucier, the pin up guy who were uh, you know, for this and uh. What we see with Hillary Clinton is the fact that she just kind of walked away from this and never had a good explanation. We know that there were FBI agents that were screaming mad about this, some of them even threatened to quit over this. And um, right now, whether or not another case is opened against her, Like I've said before, I don't think that will happen, but who knows. It all depends on who takes Comy's place at the FBI. All right, let me play for you another example. This is James call me and again I'll go through all of this in my opening monologue tonight on Hannay and Sarah is one of our guests, Jay Secular as a guest. Laura Ingram is on tonight and we're gonna we're gonna tear this up in a way that nobody else and TV or radio, frankly is well, none that I know of anyway. This is James Comey talking about classified documents housed on an unclassified system without security. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as secret by the U S Intelligence community at the time it was discussed on email. That is, excluding any later up classified emails. None of these emails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these emails were housed on unclassified personal servers, not even supported by full time security staff like those found that agencies and departments of the United States government, or even with a commercial email service like Gmail. Okay, Well, and then he went on to admit that hostile actors and then we were able to confirm later with nine percent certainty, that at least five foreign intelligence agencies were able to hack into her system, which puts people's lives of jeopardy, does it not? Yeah, I mean I've spoken, I've spoken to people sources um who are very familiar with this, and they are absolute in agreement with what COMI said that her server was access and intercepted by state actors by other foreign state actors that we're trying to get information, and so then you have to ask yourself the question that I think everybody asked, why did Komey not move forward? It's the d o J on Hillary Clinton. And the only assessment here is that you know, and I've spoken to other people before, I would say, well, you know, I mean, at her level, at her position, nobody was expecting a case to go forward against her, and I was thinking even more reason to pursue a case, right, because if you want to try to stop this type of classified information from ending up in the hands of our enemy or you know, other state actors who are working against the United States, then you have to send a very clear message. But it appears that the only clear message that was sent was to people like Sier and others who are very low level who now are sitting in jail for doing the same thing much less, much less of a crime it's perceivably being committed by Hillary Clin Sarah Carter seeing a national security correspondent Circuit dot Com. She'll be among our many guests tonight on Hannity on the Fox News Channel, Breaking America First and Great Again. This is the Sean Hannity Show. So a feeriod of about two years, it seemed like basically the United States government's one and only priority and one and only concern in their relationship with the government of Bangladesh was to save Mohammed Unas's job. About it, they said, look, we feel bad, there's I know, this is unusual. There's nothing we can do. Mohammed units calls UH Secretary Clinton's office and she sends instructions down to us. We don't have a choice, um and that at two instances during those conversations they brought it brought up the fact that, look, there could be many actions taken against your country, against your mother, your family. Who knows you could get audited by the I R S since you live in the US. All right, What you just heard there was Sajib, was that Hillary Clinton and State Department threatened him with an I R. S audit in order to keep a donor friend of hers in power. And Sarah Carter wrote about this. She is the senior national security correspondent Circuit dot com. This is an update on the Bangladesh Prime Minister's conversation with Hillary over this removal of Dr Mohammed Junas from the Gramin Bank. Can you explain this to everybody. Yeah, this is really the first time, Sean that there's ever been an ad mission by a senior level government official that Hillary Clinton tried to pressure her. The words strong arm comes to mind, Um, strong arm her into hiring back a person that had been fired, that had been removed from his position because they were very close friends. Mohammed Unas was very close friends to Hillary Clinton and Bill going all the way back to the time in Arkansas. He is a two thousand and six Nobel Peace Prize winner and was the head of the famous micro credit bank Gramin and he is also the chair of gram In America. It's kind of uh, the their their section here in the United States. He's also quite a big donor to the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation. And in two thousand eleven, UM, it was after his removal, there was a lot of in fighting in Bangladesh between the Prime Minister and Mohammed Unis Um who at one point tried to start his own party. UM. He had been contacting those since early two thousand and nine. Hillary Clinton and you know about all of these problems. But in two thousand and eleven, she made a personal phone call to the Bangladeshi Prime Minister, Sheik Hasina, to try to get Mohammed Units back in the job. Now, her son had been criticizing the Clintons for five years, saying that they had threatened him with an I R s attit he's an American citizen, uh, that they wanted Units back as head of the bank and um but the but the Prime Minister had never spoken out publicly about this, and this was the first time and we were able to get confirmation of what the Sun had been saying. It's pretty outrageous that here you have the Prime Minister of Bangladesh accusing Clinton of personally pressuring her to be a foundation donor. And she's the Secretary of State, correct, correct? I mean she she was pressuring her to reinstate their friend Mohammed Units back his head of Gramin Bank, and they did not. I mean, this was this was an intense little battle between privately between Secretary of State and the Bangladeshi Prime Minister. One of the things that I found really interesting is like you would think this crosses all kinds of ethical barriers. I had talked to Dr Richard Painter, who let's be Frank, is a supporter of Hillary Clinton and UM but was also working with George Bush and is considered one of the top ethicist. He said he doesn't believe any politician should be accepting money from anybody, UM, but he said as far as crossing the legal line, he didn't see her crossing the legal line there. He's definitely saw an ethical dilemma here. But I was saying, well, then, what will stop anybody from playing favorites or pay to play if there are no laws in place to stop this? And he said, well, you really have to have a major smoking gun. And I kept thinking, well, isn't this smoking gun enough? And and He's like, no, you need even more than that to try to prosecute people for this. Sore very very yeah, very savvy on how they handle these situations, UM, even when they're trying to pressure, you know, world leaders to put their friends back into put their friends back into a job. All right. Sarah Carter singor National Security Correspondence Circa dot Com with Sarah Tonight and Jay Seculo, Laura Ingraman and others. We are going to examine the reasons why the media won't tell you, James Comey had to be fired. Also, we'll be dealing with White House leaking. Also, we'll be dealing with an abusive press and how the White House should now start handling those that that think they smell blood in the water and want to take the president down. All and we have our news segment, the Fake News round Up. I mean, it's so easy to just gather, you know, the top cuts of the day. It's the hard part is picking which ones are the best. There's so many instances of it. All right, quick break when we come back, Wide open telephones eight nine, Shawn is a number alright now till the top of the hour, one Sean if you want to be a part of the program. And by the way, that way you just heard there is on the Fox News Channel Justice Janine Pierro, Kara McCullough, Miss USA and the winner is saying that the health care is a privilege and not a right and a feeding frenzy that has now emerged out of that. I've never seen it this bad, you know, I've always known. I really think it's all rooted and that the entire swamp cannot handle the fact that Donald Trump is the president and it's now occurred to them on a mass level, and they just can't get over it. And it's it's it's whatever it is, whatever conspiracy, whatever lie, whatever double standard, it's all being spun into Trump Pass to leave Trump Hass to leave, Trump Hass to leave. There is a danger in this, frankly, a clear present danger is that, you know, eventually people begin to believe the lie that has repeated often enough on almost every media outlet, and there's there's no truth or perspective, you know, which is probably why they want to Talk radio out of the way and Fox News Channel out of the way. So bad and why in all my thirty years have never been under such fire, because they get rid of me, and they get rid of a one big voice. It's a soul voice, but it's one big voice. They attack and successfully get rid of talk radio, and well then they get rid of a lot of voices, and you don't think this is real, you know, look at uh the so called conservative on MSNBC this Morning Morning Joe and Mika. Very cute couple. Come on, I I said something nice gonna put their wedding. If they'd invite me, I'd think about it. No, of course not. I don't go to weddings. Look at Ethan. He's about to say, you didn't go to mine, and you're gonna go to Joe to Linda's either, all right, with all due respect, Linda is higher ranking than you, and I didn't go to hard wed us. Come on, did you like the gift I gave you for your wedding? You're very generous? How generous? Very very Okay, I gave you a choice money or my appearance and has nothing to do with this conversation. Everything action is about you and your blue Smaith's shoes. That Joe and yeah, okay, that's really gonna happen to uh yeah, well he's gonna be the crazy uncle Joe at his own wedding. Every wedding has a crazy Uncle Joe by the end of the wedding that has his tie on backwards and he's, you know, grooving out to celebrate good times. Come on, job exactly, and if he shows up, he's the crazy Uncle Joe too. Every wedding. When I was a bartender, i'd hit I'd be able to spot crazy Uncle Joe a mile away. All right, may going a double son and take care of everyone at the table while you're at and here's the twenty for you. Keep them coming, keep them coming. And so by the end of the three or four hours, crazy Uncle Joe was tearing up the dance floor tie on backwards, you know, four unbuttons for four buttons unbuttoned on a shirt, sweating like crazy and dancing with like the hottest cousin of somebody that's at the wedding. Well anyway, so there's Uncle Joe, Crazy Uncle Joe on on the Conservative Now on NBC News. If there are articles of impeachment ever drawn up, the first article of impeachment against Donald Trump will be the first article of impeachment drawn up against Richard Nick. That's obstruction of justice. This is their Conservative And I noticed this weekend that all, well, it's kind of started late last week all of the never trumpers that have been hiding and kind of you know, they've been they've been waiting, hoping, praying for Donald Trump's failure so then they can come out and attack people like me and say, see, they weren't they weren't that vocal when Neil Gorsitch was appointed. They weren't that vocal when the president was opening up energy in the country. They weren't that vocal. As the President is getting rid of regulations in the country, they weren't you know, some of them. They weren't that vocal about the Executive Order, except some of them saying, oh, it's a Muslim band when it wasn't. There weren't that vocal when the President moved the first step to moving to build the wall or sending education back to the States. You know, there weren't that vocal except just to be super hyper critical. Meanwhile, their fellow anti trumpers in the House that weaken the health care repeal and replace bill, but it's still got done. And um so now they're all coming out of the woodwork. And by the way, you noticed the first target. What did I say if Trump had lost Linda? So what there would have been my obituary written a hundred thousand times over. Do you think those people have gone away from ever wanting to write my obituary in this business? No? And by the way, I don't care. I mean, I just start fighting these people, and to the extent that I have the patients in the time, which I don't have a lot of any more to fight on Twitter. But if I did, I'd fight them more because I you knows nothing that I like more in life than a good fight. Why not a good twitter? It is good for the soul. It awakens your adrenaline, keeps you up at night. That's what I need. No more sleep anyway, Let's get to our busy telephones here. As promised, we've covered a lot of ground. I will lay this all out tonight and an opening monologue that I honestly hope that you will record. And then I have a mini monologue that I hope you'll pay attention to about how the White House now needs to adjust how they deal with the press. I hope you'll be paying attention anyway. Joining us. Gary is in Laguna Beach out in California. K E, I B Hi, how are you? I'll tell you what mid Um I was. I was down on the beach one day right below where she lives on Victoria Beach in in South Laguna. I'm walking down there and I talked to you before. Because I'm a wildlife photographer, I'm out photographing birds. So I'm walking around down there and you know, carrying a big lens undressing camouflage, which is normally what I do. I'm down there, hopefull I hear this shouting at me, and I look. I looked at my left and I see this lady why amp league, I mean, she's calling me all kinds of vulgar names. Uh, paparazzi. You know, why is that? Who's this? Lady? Was just that and nowhere starts calling you vulgar names. Absolutely, she's she's blaming me for being a paparazzi. That Midler best Middler, Bet Midler, Bett Miller. And how long ago was this? Oh my god, this was what two thousand six, two thousand seven. This is a long time ago. So she doesn't want paparazzi taking pictures of her exactly well, you know, I mean if she if she would have looked at me, and she would have seen how I was dressed, the color of my camera lens and everything else. I mean, I'm walking around with a camouflage lens, camouflage tripod, I'm dressing camel myself. I mean, and I'm carrying a big lens and I'm down photographing shore birds and photographing goals, all kinds of things, which is why I do showing. I mean, that's kind of a cool hobby. I like what you're doing. Well, it isn't a hobby showing it's half my living. Okay, Well, your hobby and love have to deal with the extreme environmentalists that that actually at Trump. Oh my god, I mean, Sean, with the business that I'm in, I can't dear talk politics as you can. No, no, no, you can, well you you well, then that's maybe smart. That's a better part of wisdom not talking about it. Look, I understand completely. I mean, look, I have people running up to me in the streets screaming at me. Yeah, and uh that's the least of my problems. But you know, look, there comes a point in a time in life that you know, the better part of wisdom is keep your business alive, make money and do the things that you think are important. And the other thing is is you know know that you know a lot of these people are crazy. They look there's such a cognitive distance here in terms of the left has not come to grips with truth and reality that Trump won. And I just think that they're all dedicated to his demise right now. Oh absolutely, I can I can see it. I mean, whenever I um am leading a bird walk showan. You don't You don't know how hard it is for me as Republican. I just can I just jump in here for a second. I'm so sorry. I normally wouldn't do this, but why you do it all the time? What are you talking? Ab? Can I just ask you a question? So, so, Bette Midler was on the beach? Was it a beach area? Was on her deck? So she's on a deck in the house and you're dressed in camouflage skulking around in the woods with a long lens. I was. I was down on the beach. I was photographing shore birds on the rocks, and I'm walking around. See I walked that area quite often, you know, photographing birds. See me and a wildlife photographer. You can't dress and really bright clothing and expect to getting photos, for sure. But I'm just thinking about it now. Listen. I'm no lover of Bette Midler, so don't don't get me wrong, but I'm just trying to think about Like, if I was on my deck as a woman, and I see this guy walking around in camouflage with a giant lens, and I'm Bette Midler, I probably would think that you were in camouflage to get my photo. Well, why couldn't she say, well, what are you doing there? Mr? He didn't She and mother saying that she starts cussing him. She starts accusing me of being a Papa Rozzi. Well, she's the divine, She's the divine. Miss ms Listen, she's singing wind beneath my wing. She should be more understanding of you and your bird watching. Trust me. All right, I'm glad you two had a nice little chat. Here, Can I move on my show? All right? Thank you Gary one. Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. Uh, let's go to Greg's in South Dakota, Greg High. How are you glad you called? Oh? Thanks for taking my call. Sean. What's going on the other day? The other day, I was most thing that I just caught the clip on vaccine waters when she was being interviewed by them and a TV guy, and she said Donald Trump had nold business firing director come. And then she said, but if Hill were reporting at one election, she was going to fire him on the first date. And even the MSNBC guy says, I don't understand it's okay for one but not for the other Vaccine Waters summed up the Democratic philosophy in one word, revenge. That's all they care about. Whatever it is. Look, I the sad thing is it's not in the best interests of the country. I mean, look at the what the never trumpers. I mean, the thing that stood out to me this weekend is that there are so many people that would be interested in the president failing just so they, in their minds, can be right. See, we told you ignoring Neil gorss Now Neil Gorsch is a game changer for the country. And it's that deep, and it's that profound, and Hillary choosing it would have been better for them and to justify the fact that they they in many ways aided in embedded Hillary to justify that decision and not expecting anything like like Trump winning ever happening. They they felt that they would be on the right side of history. So in their minds they want to justify how wrong they are. And the way they do that is they get to I see, and then they joined the chorus of liberals in the media, liberals in the Washington Swamp, weak Republicans and and the media, and they get then they literally go out there and they just you know, all it's not collusion as much as it is they're all individually trying to do their very level best to destroy anything that this president is going to do. Look, this president is a clear present danger to the entire swamp. He's a danger to Republicans that are weak and timid and feckless and visionless and afraid of their own shadow. He is a threat to the media because he goes at them directly and delegitimizes them every day by exposing them to be the frauds and agenda driven hypocrites that they are that colluded with Hillary. He goes after the entire swamp, which is in the deep state, both the State Department, in the NSA at the highest levels, and the CIA at the highest levels that you know, as Chuck Schumer says, can get you six way in Sunday. So he's a threat to them, and he is a threat to everything liberal if he's successful, because then America is not likely to elect liberal presidents. If the economy turns, Americans get out of poverty, off of food stamps, back to work, get back to buying homes, America's energy independent, that America has a health care system with lower premiums and better care and more choices. If America has education that begins to work and bring up the grades and the opportunities of kids, especially an inner city that have been served poorly. You know that if he protects the country from future terrorists attacks visa v vetting and and building a border wall, that's not good either for their immigration plans in terms of open borders and and of voting electorate that will keep them in power for years, or cheap labor for Republicans. He's a threat to the entire thing, and that's why they're all basically joining up together against him. And one thing Donald Trump has doing he has created alliances nobody ever thought possile, you know, political alliances, swamp alliances that now actually threatened to join forces to destroy you. Hannity, you're really really speaking in dire terms today. No, I'm just speaking in real terms, and I'm just telling you the truth of what's happening now. Tonight, we'll tell you the untold story about why call Me needed to be fired, why the White House needs to reevaluate how they deal with the media, and so much more. And we're gonna show all the fake news. We have a new segment on the program, you know, our fake news up daily update. It's actually a lot of fun, all right. Ten Eastern Hannity
