Happy Friday, glad you with us eight hundred and nine four one, Sean Tofrey telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. This is game changing what I'm getting my hands on, and we'll get to it. Just a quick programming note, by the way, many thanks to Rush Limbaugh for yesterday. I you know, he is amazing. I'm so lucky to be friends with him and the great One Mark Levin. You know the constitutional genius he is, and you know, I will tell you there's so few of us that actually have understood how deeply profound this all is that's going on in the country, and all of us committed to making sure this never happens again. As Rush pointed, though it is still ongoing anyway, Judge pierro back tonight on Hannity nineties tron I wanted to announce that the great One Mark Levin tonight on Hannity, and when you hear what we're about to hit, you're gonna want to tune in. So there are there's I don't do Twitter anymore myself. I can't even get into my Twitter account, Linda, Can I get into my Twitter account? Oh god, no? Can I get into my I have a Facebook account? Correct, you do? Can I get into that? You cannot? Can I get into the Instagram account? You cannot? Okay? And we have had what was what was the words that were used by Twitter when they were you were compromised? Okay, whatever? More than importantly than that, Honestly, it became it was it was fun for a while fighting everybody and and winning, you know, and just poking. It's amazing how people in the media in particular, they're so thin skinned and they take themselves so seriously. They just they can't take a punch, you know. And I'm doing all that fighting on Twitter with a big fat smile on my face, knowing that they're bubbling and fizzing on the other end, like Alca Seltzer and water and but you know, I did the whole thing. The last Big fight, Who's the last Big fight with Kimmel was one and a couple of others from some networks. You know, I kind of ignored Alec Baldwin this week. He was on with Howard sterned by what's happened to Howard Stern? Howard Well, in fairness to Howard, Howard does what all Howard always does, which does he plays middleman? No, I listen, I love Howard. I have no issues with Howard, and I thought Robin was a little ridiculous. But I didn't hear the whole thing, but I but I heard a part of it, you know, with Alec Baldwin on there. And if there's such a great behind the scenes story of me, Mark Levin and Alec Baldwin. Alec was trying out to be a radio talk show host. Remind me to play this half this hour and anyway, he was trying out on the big stick of w ABC in New York my radio X wife, if you will on another station. I'm now on the all new seven t w R in New York with Rush and anyway, long story, so me and Mark Collin at the same time while he's hosting, and they put us on the air, and Brian Whitman is sort of guiding him through all of this a front of ours and who's now out in la still doing radio and Alec walked out of hosting his own show. Levin got to him so bad he just stood up and walked out. I mean, it's the greatest story ever. And then so he still wants to be radio talk shows and he tries out in Philly w PHT or affiliate in Pennsylvania in Philly, and we've got that table. We'll get to it. Let me get to this story. But Levin and Judge Piroll on tonight, and thank god there are the you know, I'm maybe fifty in the country against the ninety nine point that literally not part of this destroy hate, rage, Trump medium mob. And you know, thank god that we've been able to stop what is the biggest abuse of power, corruption scandal, attempted coup even in our country. This is real and it's serious, and Rush made a good point of saying it's still ongoing. We're not done yet, and we better win for the sake of our kids and our grandkids. And this has to be defeated. You know, I remember people got mad at my second book, Deliverers from Evil, Defeating Terrorism, despotism and liberalism, because liberal weak policies, you know, destroy us economically every time it's tried. You know, the New Green Deal, it's not gonna work ever, And similarly, you know, dropping one hundred and fifty billion dollars in cash and other currency and bribing mullahs and Iran is never gonna work. Or Clinton bribing Kim Jong Ill, Kim Jong Gun's father. What the private America is to say world's a safer place today because I just bribed him. Just you promised to be good? Now you forget it all? Right? To our breaking story? So on Twitter is I think he's involved mostly immediate stuff. My memory serves me, right, I'm not good at this remembering of these people on Twitter. But anyway, Yasha Ali is the individual. And anyway, so it says I got a call from another Twitter person who serves as the managing editor of NBC MSNBC Politics and the conduct during the call was highly inappropriate and unethical. So what was the purpose of her call? She called me to bully me on behalf of the DNC. Now, why would the managing editor of NBC MSNBC Politics be bullying anybody on behalf of the DNC. And this, this managing editor of politics, who oversees all their political coverage, was calling to bully me into delaying the publication of an innocuous scoop, and at no point did she advocate for her network. It was only about the DNC. Then he tells this story, this is interesting to me. Yesterday morning I received a tip trusted source source told me the DNC would be announcing dates of the first twenty twenty primary debates. Later that day, the source gave me the dates they would be announcing June twenty sixth and seven. The first I thought it was just a fun tidbit that I could tweet out, But after I called several presidential campaign staffers, I learned the Democratic campaigns were desperate to learn what the dates were going to be. I decided to post the scoop as an item in my newsletter. This wasn't a huge scoop, but it was a decent one, So I quickly called the DNC to first to fact check the tip. By the way, that's original, actually looking for sourcing and fact checking. Good for him, and I was running out of time. The dates would be announced on MSNBC in the four PM hour. It's important to note that almost all of my communication with the DNC was off the record, so I won't share. By the way, Wow, somebody in the media keeping their word. This is shocking too. I won't share most of what they said, but I can tell you it's, you know, pretty run of the mill stuff. I asked the DNC if my tip was accurate, and they asked if they could call back in ten minutes. A few minutes later, they called back, asked if I could delay posting my scoop another hour or so, and that they could go through important notification calls to the state parties. I told them I couldn't wait, as the news would leak and leave me without a story. And that's all I can say about the call. Two minutes later, I get a call from the political director at NBC not News, the managing editor of NBC Politics. And now this is where it gets so odd to me and anyway, and I got the call two minutes later from the again, the manager of NBC Politics. And I've never spoken of this person by phone. A couple of years ago, she reached out to me to see if I wanted to have coffee and talk about working at NBC News, but I declined as I was actively investigating NBC matters and thought it would be strange if I discussed the job. So when I saw this person was calling. I assumed it would be to ask me to consider delaying my posts so that MSNBC could announce it first. Given that this was an innocuous scoop, not some investigative story, I wouldn't have lost sleep if I had delayed. But that's not why she was calling. This is where it gets interesting. After exchanging pleasantries, she told me that she received a call from the DNC and was told I had a story. Now, it's not strange the DNC called her. They were coordinating an announcement. What was strange was that she was calling me and taking a menacing tone. She asked if I could hold the story. I said I couldn't. She was agitated. Why not? I said, I'm not gonna lose a scoop. She then got angry, why not. It's not a big deal. Let them make a few phone calls, and he says. My jaw dropped as I realized that this managing editor of Politics at NBC News, the head of all their political coverage for NBC News and their cable outlet Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy TV. MSNBC, wasn't calling to advocate for her network. She was calling to advocate for the DNC's position. She wanted me to wait so they could call state party leaders. And I thought to myself, this is how people think it works. It's not. But that's what was going on. That's what she was doing. She kept pressing me. Now, I acknowledge for stuff that you know isn't about serious investigative reporting. There's no problem holding something. But I knew once others got the call, I'd lose the scoop. And she reminded me that she was a national security reporter at the Washington Post for ten years, and they would hold stuff all the time. Note so people wouldn't get killed. Why can't you just wait, let me make their calls, then you'll be the first to put it in print, she said quote. I couldn't believe what she was saying. Again, it was fine for me to print the story an hour later, beat her own network by three hours. She just didn't want me to let the DNC inform state party leaders. Why the hell did she care, he writes, And I kept telling her, no, I wasn't waiting. She kept getting more frustrated. She was exasperated. She didn't understand why I couldn't wait for the DNC to make their state notification calls. I was so surprised that she was talking this way with a total stranger, the head of the political division of NBC, who's trying to bully me at the behest of the DNC over a dumb scoop, even though they may not have asked her to do this. But two thirds of the way through the conversation, this woman started a sentence with this is off the record. She hadn't said it at the beginning of the conversation, A most important to no point, did I agree when she said off the record to keep it off the record. I'm not one of those gotcha reporters. I think, by the way, there are people that don't you say off the record, and they just burn you every time. I've learned that a lot over the years. So the ones that actually honor their words, it's rare. And he says, I think it's bad prosourcing relationships to make people feel like they constantly feel like they have to say off the record. But she isn't a source, and she's calling me to intimidate me, and she doesn't get that benefit. He said off the record one more time later in the call, and again I just let her keep talking. I didn't agree to anything. I then told her I had to go to my editor, and she got even more frustrated and said, no, I want to talk to you more about this. I said, no, I want to go to my editor, and she sent me over the edge and said, what's your editor's name? I want to talk to them buying intimidate me on behalf of the DNC. I ended the call. After the call with her, I published a stupid scoop. Then I get it, did a gut check. Over the next two hours, I called ten experienced prominent reporters and told them the story. They were all stunned by what this managing editor of NBC Politics had said. This is really interesting to me and anyway, and they were all stunned and what she did. He encouraged me to share it publicly. I'm not naive to the fact this incident is going to be twisted by some with an agenda to discredit the media and say they collude with political parties. But I think it's more important to expose bad behavior and keep it than keep it under wraps. What she did was unethical plenty of times reporters will introduce people in politics to other reporters TV people. I've done it many times. That is advocating for more coverage, not less, And she was advocating advocating for me not to do something on behalf of a political party. What I can figure out is, and no one else I spoke to could understand. Why open yourself up to this for a stupid story? How is it worth it? Now? This, the whole thing is fascinating to me. You know. Number one, You know, and I don't. My memory serves me right. I don't think there's person's a fan of mine, which is fine, but you know, it is a great question. Why is the head of the managing editor of politics at NBC doing the bidding of the DNC. I mean nothing scoop maybe, but that level of angst and treatment, you know, may look I'm kind of inoculated. I've been called so many horrible things over the years that I just pretty much unfazed by it all and don't pay any attention to it because I can't. You can't live your life that way. But most people are. It really bugs the crap out of them. And I've learned that too. I'm gonna get into more details when we get back eight hundred nine one sean one thing that is not political. It's smoking. That's about people, and there are thirty four million Americans. Now that's smoke, but for many there's not been a clear alternative. Jewel for me, has been a game changer. I watch people all the time. They go outside in the middle of the freezing winner just to have their smoke. You don't have to do that anymore because of Jewel. Now people don't have to worry about the smell on your hands. Jewel was specifically designed by smokers, forced smokers to be a satisfying alternative. It's a clean technology. Jewel has no ash, no odor, no mess. If you're one of those thirty four million adults who do smoke, you now know there's an alternative to cigarettes and cigars. Just go to Jewel ju u l dot com slash switch America. That's ju u l dot com slash switch America. Now, this product does contain nicotine, and nicotine is an addictive chemical. But just go to Jewel ju ul dot com slash switch America. All Right, as we continue Sean Hannity Show on a Friday, I look I have said this week that especially the collusion, collusion, the Russia, Russia, Ussia, RUSSI Russia, stormy stormy, stormy, stormy start, that manufactured crisis. Man. They even used the same talking points that the Democrats, this new extreme radical democratic Socialist Party, and so many in the media are one. I have told you so often why I've never been on a Washington correspondence dinner. They don't like me. I don't not particularly fond of most of them. But it's you know, it's there staffs of congressmen and women, you know, friendly with all the people in the media. They drink together, they party together, they date each other. They did, which is fine. But it's one big swamp that has led us to where we are, and it is sick and getting sick. All right, glad you with us. You know what the word is. There's this It's like an incestuous relationship. It is an unholy alliance. I said this so often about you know, how is that we pay more per capita for education for every student than any other country in the industrialized world and come in like, oh thirty seven, how do we not fire bad teachers? You got teachers all over New York City, in the New York City public school systems paid for years and years and years and years, they never teach. If it's some accusation hangs out there and they become protected by the unions and unfiable, it's ridiculous And I'm not in what is a good teacher worth? You can't put a price on somebody that dedicates their lives to helping children and inspiring them to greatness in their lives. It's pretty unbelievable. Actually. By the way, Doug Collins, who's been responsible for releasing all this new information in these closed door sessions of you will or the transcripts of the interviews with people like Struck and Paige and Bruce and yesterday Nellie or Um is going to join us at the top of the next hour, John Solomon. Is a big breaking story you actually care about, real collusion. This one actually has real evidence. Just so you know, there is a letter that has just been released from let's see, from Attorney General Barr to Senator Graham and Senator Nadler that the Mueller Report is to be released in mid April, if not sooner, the full Mueller Report. I guess the report well, the report will be redacted. We are well along in the process, and material that will be redacted that's not quotes and subject to what's KRIM procedure that by law cannot be made public. Material Intel Community says would compromise sources and methods, in other woods, material that would affect ongoing matters and privacy of third parties, which is the right thing to do. And although the President would have the right to assert privilege over certain parts of the report, he has stated publicly that he intends to defer to me, and accordingly, there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review, which I think is a mistake. I really do you know, I know the President wants to do that. I would I would challenge him on that and say, you know, because what does the media want. They only want one sentence. You know, Russia has been was great on this last night. This has not stopped. They're not stopping. This is ongoing. They still want to impeach him, they still want to destroy him. The medium mob desperately wants to get back the mojo that they had, I mean, the precipitous drop in ratings on fake news CNN, and you know tinfoil high conspiracy TV MSNBC is so astronomically dramatic. You know, Actually it was Bill O'Reilly. He's like a savant on ratings, really smart, and you know he predicted it first of all, which I give him credit for, and he's usually right on this stuff. And number two, it's what they have done in terms of creating expectations in their audience. You know, you're always under promise and over delivery. You don't overpromise. And he second hour and he second hour, and it's gone on for years. We got him, We got up it. This is it. I'm telling you, Peach and Peach peachlululu. It's just it's it's breathtaking that it was all done with no evidence, all because of a psychotic hatred and rage for Trump and his supporters, the irredeemable, deplorable, smelly Walmart people like us that cling to our God, guns Bible's religion. How awful we must be. And by the way, by clinging to your Bible meaning you want to be a better person, anyline, that doesn't mean you're perfect anyway. So now I got the Washington Post version of this that all right, so President Trump's election blah blah blah blah. The Robert Moo's report detailing his investigation will be delivered to Congress by mid April, and ten seconds later will be on fake news CNN by the Attorney General, he said today in a letter to lawmakers. Everyone will be able to read it on their own, he said. He in the lettery outlines the timeline for the next steps of this process and by which Justice Department officials are sharing their nearly four hundred page report. Bar said he does not plan to submit the report to the White House for a review. Although the president would have the right to assert privilege over certain parts of the report, he stated publicly that he intends to defer to me, and accordingly, there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review. I'm not sure I think that's a good idea. Muller delivered his conclusions to senior leaders at the Department last week. After reviewing the report. The Attorney General sent the four page letter to Congress on Sunday, saying Muller did not find quote did not find the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts influenced the twenty sixteen presidential election. Bar As Sunday letter also said the Special Council with held judgment on whether Trump tried to obstruct justice during the investigation. The Special Council did not draw a conclusion one way or the other as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction. It would usually have to be a crime first, but anyway, and left it to the attorney. Clearly left that decision. Here's the case you decide, because remember it was Rod Rosenstein who did this. So it was Rod Rosenstein and bar almost instantaneously drawing the conclusion that if you don't have the evidence to prove obstruction, then you can't charge somebody with obstruction anyway, And Bar wrote, the Special Council states that while it does not conclude the President committed a crime, it does not exonerate him. Since the Sunday letter Democrat, they're demanding to see the full letter. But all you got to do is get both sides of an argument. And it had nothing to do but with the idea that the president in a sitting president camp be indicted anyway. This letter today by the Attorney General. He said, well, we're dacked information that would potentially compromise sources and methods of intelligence collection, any information that would unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties. And Barr also disputes the characterization that is earlier notice to Congress was a summary of the report. He says, my March twenty fourth letter was not and did not purport to be an exhaustive recounting of the Special Council's investigation or report. As my letter made clear, my notification to Congress and the public provided pending release of the report and a summary of its principal conclusions, that is, its bottom line, and the Special Council's report, nearly four hundred pages long, exclusive of tables and appendixes, appendix and sets forth the Special Counsel's findings, as analysis and reasons for his conclusions. I do not believe it would be in the public's interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report or to release it in serial or piecemeal fashion, by the way, which is what he's charged with to do. And the letter. Bar also offered to testify before the Senate and House Judiciary committees on May first and second. Muller's report marked the end of the twenty two month investigation. After bar etcetera, etcetera, etc. It's amazing, you know, just in the course of twenty minutes, how the news changes in this country. It really is. I just got this sent to me, apparently a story that got buried by the media. I don't know if this person would want me telling them, telling everybody who it is. It has to do with a law that made what was to make Westchester County, New York, a sanctuary county in twenty seventeen, but it was enacted later they first stopped and it was you know, apparently. But anyway, there's a report out today headline that illegal alien arrested by Neuroschelle police for a child rape, freed by Westchester County despite ice detainer. What have I been saying, When do the sanctuary city policies? When does it result in culpability? You know, you have criminal aliens in custody. The law allows and to find the ice the federal government in charge, they want to detain them after they served their jail time, and they named the person from a Guatemalan national and counted border patrol agents first in OH nine, arrested by local Texas authorities in O nine. In July of O nine, ordered by immigration judges in Texas, and he was removed to Guatemala in OH nine. This according to officials from the US Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency that of course you know the twenty twenty candidates want to eliminate, and of course Beto O'Rourke, no more border walls at all will tear them down anyway. February fourteenth, ICE became aware that this individual had re entered the country illegally after he was taken into local custody for felony rape charges in neu Roshelle. Anyway, the guy's twenty six years of age charged with third degree rape in February four am held for a raiment. According to the Neuroschelle Police Captain Cosmo Costa, third degree rape is having sexual intercourse with someone who is incapable of consenting, typically a minor. ICE lodged a detaining order with local authorities February nineteenth. The active detaining order was not honored. He was released on bond from Westchester County Jail on February twenty fifth m Gray Customs Enforcement ICE. For example, they assigned to this particular case and quote, he was released from Westchester County jail with an active detainer due to Westchester's Westchester County's Immigration Protection Act. According to Rachel Young Yao, who is the Public Officers Affairs officers of ICE, New York, this man with appending rape charge in Westchester released back into the unsuspecting community as local authorities were prevented from honoring the detainer because of their new Immigration Protection Act, said Thomas Decker, Field office director in New York. Let me be clear, We're not arresting law abiding legal immigrants who are charged by Congress to arrest those who are in this country illegally breaking the laws of this nation, keeping our top priority on criminal aliens and removing aliens who are threatening to our communities. This individual has taken into custody in March fourteenth, is currently pending removable from the United States. Wow, unbelievable. When do when do we ever hold accountable people that are aiding and abetting in the release of innocent people. Now, the President made clear today he's not kidding around and his threat that he made last night his rally in Michigan last night was on fire. But his threat to close the US Mexico border next week if Mexico does not stop undocumented immigrants from coming to the United States. One of the big issues now is actually people in other countries believe the President is getting it done. Many people didn't pay attention, but he actually they weren't able to override his veto. That means though the funds that have been that are going to be reallocated from the Defense Department that they have identified, that's all happened. It's about nine billion dollars worth, a lot more than the President was even looking for at this time, on top of the one point three five and he said, if Mexico doesn't immediately stop all the illegal immigration coming to the United States on a southern border, I will be closing the border or large sections of the border next week. President tweeted out he hasn't put a timeline on it. Commission of US Customs Border Protection claim the situation is at a breaking point, yeah, because they believe the President is going to do it. By the way, ninety two percent we now know of illegal families ignored deportation orders. Meanwhile, The US currently has one hundred and forty seven thousand troops stationed abroad ensuring border security for foreign countries. Washington Times reported the staggering ninety two percent of family members failed to appear at their teportation hearings in the Munson September Lindsey Graham also quoted this out as well. And the administration is seeking a court order to deport unaccompanied people. And you know, Trump, I mean, it's just unbelievable. Do we even care, you know, if it's your child that is the victim? What do we talk about? Four thousand homicides, thirty thousand sexual assaults, one hundred thousand violent assaults in a two year period by illegal immigrants against American citizens. At what point do we say, Okay, the job here is to protect Americans and these policies are not protecting the American people. All right, We've got all these breaking stories. Also, Doug Collins is going to join us. You don't want to miss him. He's the one responsible for releasing all of the transcripts of all these closed doors hearings. Page and struck last yesterday, Nellie Or which we told you about yesterday, and Bruce or and McCain's aide. He's the guy. Also, Yeah, there was some collusion. We have some evidence in the twenty sixteen election beyond Adams shifty shift, the cowardly shift. We'll get to that. Don't forget Hannity tonight at nine, Judge Jening Piro, Oh back, we'll join us tonight, the great one Mark Levin. Tonight we'll have all this breaking news for you as well, ninety eastern on Fox on Hannity. I hope you'll join us right an hour two Sean Hannity Show. Right down our toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program, It's eight hundred and nine four one Sean if you want to join us. We have a new development if you if Democrats really really care about foreign countries and influence in the lead up and trying to impact the twenty sixteen election, or is it that they just care if Trump did it like we do have, for example, the cowardly shift on tape, you know, breathlessly colluding with a Russian to dig up dirt on Donald Trump. Oh what is the Yeah, I got compromising Trump piazz Yeah, what is the nature the naked Trump? Naked Trump. Oh oh, did you tell Putin? Yeah, of course, of course, but they didn't care. They didn't care. It's the most it's the irony and insult in all of this is that the phony Clinton bought and paid for with funneled money through a law firm, to an op research group, to Christopher Steele, a foreign agent that put together Russian lies that were disseminated let's say the Washington Post, David Corn, Michael Lisa golf I believe they all had it as well, and that was to impact the twenty sixteen election with her bought and paid for Russian lines. And then, of course, well, don't tell the fies A court that, of course we never verified any of this or corroborate, corroborated any of this, and don't absolutely don't tell the fires a court Hillary paid for it. And don't tell anybody that Christopher Steele hates Trump. So you know, all of that happened, all of it. Did they care about that? No, it's only if it's Trump. You know, we have fives applications coming, We have three o' two's coming, gang of any information come. We have five separate buckets of information that will blow a lot of this hoax and scheme and plot and attempted coop out of the water. But we have a Congressman from Georgia who we've been telling you about, Doug Collins. Well, he's been releasing the closed door transcripts when of people like Bruce Ore and Peter Struck and Lisa Page and McCain's aide involved with the FBI getting the dossier and maybe giving it to others. And yesterday it was Nell you are and Congressman Collins and Georgia joins us right now, how are you, sir? What district are you in in Georgia. I'm in the ninth district set up in northeast Georgia. Lake Lanier. Oh beautiful by the way up there, so nice, and it's grown by leaps and bounds too. I mean, the population growth from the time I was there when I left the ninety six is massive. Oh, it's great, everybody coming up here and enjoying the time. I mean, Georgia's great play money. One of the saddest things I saw is when Lake Lanier went down to nothing. That's all been changed, right, Oh yeah, we're we're full all right. Now. We've been full for a little while. So so it's good rate for a great summer. All right, let's talk about the what you learned. What are the top ten things you learned from the release of these five well closed door sessions, if you will, testimony of these key players under oath that we didn't know before, and what does it mean. I think some of the things that we've learned, I think that they headed off and you can you don't even have to go to top ten, you can just start off with a few of the biggest that I think that the American people now that Muller has you know, has found no collusion, no obstruction, where we can move on with this presidency doing exactly what it's supposed to grow the economy and be a part of what we're doing as America. You can find out number one, that you have players, rogue actors in the Department of Justice who believe that they were in touch with Peter Struck, believed that it was his responsibility to change the election, to change the cycle, to to do whatever he could is quote, to have the insurance police here, to have the assurance that Donald Trump would not become president. We find out from Lisa Page that early on in the Clinton email investigation, everybody wants to go You talk about Democrats wanting transparency, they never want to get close to this because they find out that Missus at the highest levels lynched the Department of Justice. That they were saying, gross negligence is not what we're gonna say. In fact, we might even call it an investigation. We're gonna call it a matter. We're not even gonna get close to this. And they began to fill the pressure law and before they even started interviewing people. And then we find out from people like Bruce or who actually said, hey, I got this, you may want to check into it, but that didn't matter to the corrupt cabal of struct Page and McCabe, who only it began to see is they hated Donald Trump. They did not want him to be president. And when you take all of that together, it should just send shivers down the spine of any American, no matter their political persuasion, that this could be happening at a Department of Justice is supposed to be blind and fairly put the law into perspective, not one standard for the ones they like and one standard for the ones they dealt. You know, we keep saying we've got to hold people accountable here, And when I look at all of this and the people that started this, and the insurance policy and the rigged investigation into Hillary and literally using bought and paid for and I think money that is very questionable in terms of where it was passed, you know, off as a as a legal expense to an research group, to a foreign national, which if a campaign can't pay a foreign national, and then the lies on an extraordinary level that we're leaked to the members of the press, and then the lies and the fraud committed before a FIZ accord, and then the insurance policy. And you know, now we have, you know, a nine month FBI investigation, two congressional investigations, and the Muller reports saying no collusion, and still people cling onto this. But you know, I'm really concerned that if we don't get to the bottom of it, that it will happen again. And the President rightly saying that this cannot happen to another president, never mind using the powerful tools of intelligence that we entrust to very important people to turn it against the American people the way it's been used. Tell me how we get too full accountability. How do we get to the checks and balances ensuring that this can never happen again without compromising the ever important issue, which is national security. Well, Sean, you've hit on the really the essence of the problem we've got. And President Trump hit it perfectly when he said, this shouldn't happen to anybody, It should never happen to another president. In fact, let's go back in time. Let's take a real quick history lesson how do we get this go back to the seventies with the Church Commission. We had a problem in our intelligence in our law enforcement communities, which is how we began the pies, the core, the pies, the process to put in protections for American citizens, to make sure that this was being done right in a way that is helpful to our country and does and it puts forward the things that we need done in our national security interests, in our foreign national security interests, but does so at the without turning itself on its own projects like we have just seen happen. I think when we understand that now, Bill Barr is in a position, as he said in his confirmation here, and he's willing to look into the positive use he's willing to look into what is happening here. So that is why one we're releasing these transcripts. We're calling to account these who have willingly been a participant in what was to try and take down a president and are a candidate at the time and then a president. And we need to make sure that the American people understand that you had two investigations. You had an investigation by Bob Muller who said that we ended up with no collusion, no obstruction, and now we have an investigation that was conducted over the past two years in the House and in Congress that showed actual problems. So I think what I want to do is call on the Democrats to say, if you really want transparency, you really want to start wrong to it, now time to look at what actually happened. I think Seany ought to be a shift for we'll just call it to Adam schiff rule that if you supposedly have evidence of a wrongdoing, you have to show it, instead of being like Adam Schiffer or Eric Swalwell or these others who simply say, you know, I've got all this evidence, but I'm not going to show you and simply stirring the pot. They were the ones being used by you to continue the distrust in our late election system. Those are the ones that need to be held accountable for what they're saying. And I've said before they need to apologize for what they're doing because they're the ones sewing distrust. What we learned yesterday thanks to you releasing Nellie Or's testimony, I thought it was unbelievably amazing. But you know, and you're alone in doing this, but you know, Nellie worked hand in hand with Christopher Steele at Fusion GPS. You know, the wife of the fourth highest ranking DJ official at the time, Bruce Or, admitted to meeting with Steel one day before the FBI launched their counterintelligence probe, you know, Crossfire Hurricane to Trump in Russian twenty sixteen, and Bruce Or, by the way, was at the meeting, and we learned Nelior was instructed to dig up dirt on Manafort and Flynn and they ended up being a target of the Special Council and also admitting to targeting Donald Trump Junior and Malania Trump. And you know, the flash drive of the the dossier with Russian lies she hands to her husband's why did disseminated throughout the DOGA and FBI, which means they probably used all of that as their roadmap. And you know, we know a key source for Fusion GPS, you know, is the very same Ukrainian lawmaker who was accused of timing the release of information about Manafort to help Hillary Clinton win in an irony and of all ironies. You know, I'm flabbergasted that this has ever happened in the United States, and the fact that the media ignores it makes it even more insane to me is amazing. Sean, I mean, think about this, Kenny. I you know, we've all been and watched elections. I was, I've never seen a bunch of folks who were so upset that Donald Trump won. And and but it was not just after the election, it was before the election. This is what the nellie Or transcript and all these other transcripts have shown that there was a pattern developing here. And I think one of the things is interesting to me that she just brought out a lot of interesting parts. As far as Number one, nelly Or's insistence is she didn't know that Glenn Simpson was basically working on a similar project or a same project paid for. I mean, it was an interesting correlation there to see what she was providing. And she didn't, you know, you know, come forward and that and didn't want to talk about her own communications with her husband, who was a top official and still is in the in the Department of Justice. So these are the kind of things that you sit back that you would think would be like Tom Clancy novel of fiction, and unfortunately it was true and it's and we need to make sure that the people understand this, to take a step back, to realize that this president is doing everything he can to make this country the country that is the greatest in the world. And these were people who simply had a blind political ambition to see Hillary Clinton become president and that's all they were concerned about. And it started back and you know, in a time before he was actually the official candidate, and then continued and increased after that. But that's an interesting meeting at the Mayflower because they had met at the Mayflower started the next day Congress. What else is coming? And the other question I want to ask you is how high up does this go? Because thanks to you, we now know from Struck and Page that this was these decisions were being made by Lauretta Lynch, and even they knew the fix was in on Hillary's case. How high up does this go in the former Obama administration. Well, I think that's the thing that struck me the most, and I think calls me the most. As we were looking at these and going back, we knew this was happening, you know, it was. It was just too obvious to not too When we were first looking into the Clinton the email investigation, we began to see what was happening, and it was not We couldn't understand the pieces. And after we started talking to Komy and interviewing him at the through committee process, not even these interviews were talking about here you sense that this was a problem. And her explanation of meeting Bill Clinton and her you know, getting out of and trying to say it was at that point really didn't make sense. So now the page transcript actually begins to show us that this was started early on high up in the Department of Justice under her watch, that really it was a I would say white washed to start with. It was just they were trying to clean the slate, saying let's get this off the table, you know, telling Komy, this is not an investigation, just treated as a matter. In other words, let's just get through it as quickly as possible. When you have that kind of of pressure, it shows that the politicization of the Obama administration, especially in the Department of Justice, is something that has now carried through several years and really is a concern for us moving forward, because when you let that happen, that rhodes confidence, you know, down the chain, and I think we need to make sure that as we look at this and people began to see that this was not a bunch of Republicans saying you should have went after Clinton harder, and no, it was actually there was a you know, frankly, a cover up in the investigation that never allowed the folks to do the job that they were supposed to be doing well. I mean, it's a little scary that this could happen in America, But you know, why do I think that A Page and Struck are saying that the Attorney General at the time, Loretto Lynch, knew and she's telling Comy it's not an investigation but a matter, and she's meant meeting with Bill Clinton on the tarmac. Why do I want to know what Obama knew him when he knew it well as close as they all were. I mean, this is why the investigation needed to continue. This is why when we began to look into this, the honest questions of why this happened and how it happened. And look, Jim Comey was as much a part of this, and even for him to recently come out and say he didn't understand the Moller investigation was just sort of a croc considering, you know, his role in the investigation and how it was handled. So, I mean, I think you've got problems up and down the chain and up and down the line that continue to need to be part of the process of what we're doing. Well, I want to thank you, Congressman for all you're doing and to look forward to the rest of these transcripts coming out. I know it's going to be coming cascading down and Faiza Warrens and three zero two's and Gang of eight, and there's going to be accountability, and in large part because of the few brave people in the Freedom Caucus that stand up like you do. Thank you, sir for being with us. Well, we appreciate you trying to keep up fight, all right. Do the Democrats and the media do they care at all about let's say, real collusion with real evidence. We're going to ask that question of shocking report John Solomon next Hannity tonight. We had an amazing show, including She's Back by the way, Judge Pierro will be on with us at Fox tonight, and the great one Mark Levin and much more. Tell you more about it as the show unfolds. Thank you, as always for being with us. Willingness to continue to promote a demonstrably false narrative is learning. The findings of the Special Council conclusively refute your past and president assertions and have exposed you as having abuse your position to knowingly promote false information. As such, we have no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a commander consistent with your constitution resourceability, and urge your immediate resignation as chairman of the Committee. I think it's im moral, I think it's unethical, I think it's unpatriotic, and yes, I think it's corrupt and evidence of collusion. I don't think it's okay that his attorney lied to our committee. There's a different word for that than collusion, and it's called compromise. I will not yield, mister ambassade, because I will of us that I will, and we need to get to the bottom of it. So Adam Shift needs to be one that comes forward if he has evidence, put it on the table. And so if he has committed crimes, we need to find out and are they that is one individual absolutely that may some be brought forward for a thorough investigation. All right, there you have. You know, these are amazing times as we now begin this process. It'll be long, it'll be at times harduous, but in the end, because we love America, we love our constitution, we love the rule of law. We love the principles of equal justice under the law, our civil liberties being protected, and equal application of our laws. It all matters. And what Tinfoil had conspiracy theorists, you know, between Mattow and Shift, the cowardly Shift, I mean, honestly, we have got to get this right. You know, it was amazing the President said it. That should never happen to any other president. It can't we can't survive if they're not held accountable. It should not happen to anybody in this country. That the powerful tools of intelligence are turned on you, we the people, as we have talked so often about, now the question is, as we now hold them accountable, do they really care about outside foreign government influence in our elections? Because if they do, then they're going to pay attention to a story we have been following and telling you about that was broken by our friend John Solomon. Remember, John has been part of the very few in our group are ensemble, if you will, that have been day by day unpeeling the onion and finding out the corruption in the deep state, the abuse of intelligence, the FAIZO warrants, the three hundred fifty percent increase in surveillance, unmasking, leaking, raw intelligence, and so much more. And he has now uncovered a very well insidious situation that is happening with what happened in the twenty sixteen election. John, how are you it can be with you, Sean, why not let you explain? And the difference between Trump Prussia illusion and what we have as it relates to this Ukrainian plot is very interesting to me because his actual real evidence and the Ukrainian Parliament and were members of the Ukrainian government there, you know, they ruled back in in what December that actions that were taken quote amounted to meddling in the twenty sixteen American presidential election. Training lawmaker, Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So what we know is that a court in Ukraine has concluded that the what I would call the FBI of Ukraine, it's the Anti Corruption Bureau NABU, it's called in Ukraine wrongfully intervened in the United States election by knowingly and willfully leaking documents about Paul Manaforts finances in Ukraine to the American media during the middle of the election. If you remember, right in that June July August time friend, when Manafort was the temporary campaign chairman for the Trump campaign, and all of a sudden, these stories came out in the New York Times, AP and other places about Manafford's dealings with the Party of Regions in Ukraine and does all get leaked at the same time. The Ukraine court has concluded fat NABU and it's a chief official, senior officials leaked that and they did so intentionally with the goal of trying to influence the American election. That's a court finding. That's not a speculation. It's not an uncorroborated dossier. It's an official finding of the Ukrainian government. But beyond that, we now have surfaced in the last few weeks a Ukrainian member of Parliament, through an order of a court, release an audio tape purporting to capture the NABU officials, boasting that they did this leak intentionally because they preferred Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. So here you have a Ukrainian government agency, both on tape and then through a court ruling, being having been found to have tried to intentionally influence the election in favor of Hillary Clinton, and so raided the question, well, what did Hillary Clinton's people know. Let's take you back to the spring of twenty seventeen to a story that almost nobody paid attention to, but Politico had an article that reported that, for some reason, the Democratic National Committee in Hillary Clinton's campaign kept a full time researcher in contact with the Ukrainian embassy in Washington. So Hillary Clinton is on the receiving end in Washington. She sets up a receiving post at a foreign embassy in Washington to find information on Donald Trump and Russia and what's going on in Ukraine. Well, the Nabu. The Ukrainian officials are gathering that information and leaking it to the media. Now, there's a lot of steps that have to be connected before we make any assumptions. We don't want to run ahead like the dodgy dossier and do things like that. But we have an early pattern of a campaign taking an unusual step of planting someone at a foreign embassy, and now a foreign court ruling saying that country did indeed try to intervene in the US election and did indeed try to help missus Clinton. Well, I mean, the amazing thing about this is is and frankly a little ironically. You know, the most ironic thing is obvious. You got shifty, cowardly shift on tape colluding with somebody believes to be a Russian of that comproment material and non Trump the nature of the compromise uh naked naked Donald Trump? Um? Uh have you shared it with Putin? Uh? Of course, of course pus uh Yes, the shadow Um very good recat going on here. Well, but the point is there was real What do we also have a dossier? I mean, imagine this, you know, the nine month investigation MBI nothing two Congressional investigations, they conclude no collusion, now Mueller, no rambiguity, that's no collusion, no collusion, and they're still pushing it. And meanwhile, do they care at all about collusion? Do they care about the the designed were lease of sensitive information about Paul Manafort in twenty sixteen to help Hillary win that would be outside electoral interference. Do they care about the issue or is it just bludgeoning Trump. It doesn't matter that Hillary had a bought and paid for phony Russian dossier. It only matters if Trump did talk to a Russian you know, at the you know, at a Russian restaurant one day. Well, the dual system of justice. When you hear the difference in the way the Democrats have treated the Ukrainian versus the Russian stuff, you see why so many Americans feel like there are two systems of justice going on. Let's draw a few more connections again that the American public has not been heard not heard of because the Democrats haven't spent any time investigating it. We now know, because of the deposition and testimony of Nellie Or, that Nellie Or gave information to her husband, the senior Justice Department official, Bruce Or to give to the FBI on Donald Trump. What we learned this week when her testimony was released by Congress is that one of the primary sources of information that her company, Fusion GPS, that's Glenn Simpson, that's Christopher Steele, that's Nelly orb Where did they get their information from? A Ukrainian parliamentary member in Ukraine? Again another data point showing that the Democrats and this operation are relying on Ukraine to get information dirt on Donald Trump during the election and trying to time to Russian. Now, let's keep in mind what's going on here. This could be a proxy war. Russia and Ukraine are neighbors that are at war with each other over camea during this very moment, and Ukraine may very well have had its own effort and desire to influence the election, and they're interfering. You don't hear any of this, even though the data points are sitting out in the open space. And that's where if Adam Schiff wants to run a credible investigation, he has to look at both of these things. Yet he's not talking about half of it. You know, I want you to stand back. It was March of twenty seventeen you started this process. You and Sarah are on my show and it was about surveillance and I'm masking and no minimization and a three hundred and fifty percent increase in a maskings, which by the way, we still need to get to the bottom of. And Samantha powers, you know, three hundred requests to unmask people that she claims I've known nothing about. I want to get a stand back big picture, because now that the Muller reports in, now that we know that Hillary's investigation was rigged and Faiza and you know, deep state operatives turning the powerful weapons of intelligence on some Americans, what is the answer? In other words, I keep saying Rush said it last night, the President has said that this can't happen again. And you being so involved from the get go, and by the way, I count maybe twenty five of us total in the country against the ninety nine percent of media and Democrats, etc. You know, what is the answer to prevent it from ever happening again? Big picture? What do you think? Well, I've always thought that punishment is the ultimate to turn. That's why we have a prison system, That's why we have laws. Anyone who was involved in the United States intelligence apparatus that knowingly and willfully misled the FIS accord, knowingly and wilfully misled a president or the American public during election should be held accountable under whatever tools are available with this, whether they're criminal prosecution or administrative actions, termination, firing, discipline. But there is clear evidence that there have been a fraud, a misinformation campaign that was fed to the FIS accord to allow the spying on a duly elected Republican nominees campaign, and equal evidence that that effort, through leaking coordinate leaking between the FBI and Steel, influenced the election or certainly intended to influence the election. In twenty sixteen, Donald Trump still won. Despight it. If we're going to prevent this from happening again, accountability, doesn't it have to then start with the rigged investigation into Hillary, the Espionage Act, instructure of justice with her, or does it even go back earlier? Well, it certainly has to start at least that soon, right because they're the midyear exam The investigation that Claren Hillary Clinton, despite evidence of criminal negligence, is intricately and impossibly connected to the Russian investigation on so many levels, including the fact that the day Hillary Clinton gets a clean bill of health from James Comby despite the evidence of criminality, that's the day that Christopher Steele walked into the FBI and says, oh, by the way, here's my dossier. There are so many and it's the same players. Stroke and Page are on both investigations. The way the FBI handled both investigations, pulling them out of the field office and letting a small group of politically a biased executives run those investigations when the normal processes leave it in the field, the field agents they're in they're inextricably linked together because they were handled the same way by the same people with the same biases. So it has to start there. But as you wind forward, you have to look there were co conspirators in creating this narrative, and some of those co conspirators are in my own profession. My own profession has to come clean about how it got things wrong, how it exaggerated, how it reported in erroneous things. I always pointed this story in The New York Times February twenty seventeen, one of the seminal stories in the Driving the narrative. It said that New York Times reported there were senior Trump officials who met with senior Russian intelligence officials to coordinate the campaign. That did not happen, and when James Comy testified it did not happen, the New York Times didn't correct it. When Bob Muller came out with his report and said there was no clusion, the New York Times hasn't corrected that story. Instead, it spent most of his time apologizing for one of the stories that it had that might have been right though October thirty, first, twenty sixteenth story that said there wasn't collusion probably going on last question, well, we need the full report, you you have sources, anything in that report that differs from the age Je's characterization and Rod rosen Stunn's agreement on the issue of obstruction, I don't think so. I think there's going to be a series of chronological events describing the activities around the firing of Komi and the go easy alleged comments that are made about Flynn, and those may extend beyond conversations of President excuse me had with Komy to some of his other aids. So you know, there's going to be a chronology that comes out and people will draw their own inferences. Democrats will cry crime, Republicans will say there's not. But I don't think the body of fact is going to change much in this time to move beyond the questions that have gotten two and a half years of investigation to the questions that have barely gotten any investigation. Ukraine, Faisa abuse, all of the things that we've been talking about that the rest of the country has sort of ignored. All right, great job, great work, and yeah, holding them accountable is going to be probably as big or bigger job over time. John Solomon, you should take a bow. You know, there should be Pulitzers returned and you should be up for one, and so should a lot of other people. You're only as good as your next story. Well, you know what, You're gonna be working pretty hard for the next two years. I'm peeling those on you and trust me, all right, eight hundred nine for one Sean toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. Coming up next, our final News round Up and Information Overload Hour, My News round Up, Information Overload Hour here on the Sean Hannity Show. What an incredible week this has been and I think this is a turning point. Well, I've been talking to everybody and then on our team here about this, and you just you just think back here, and I know the Democrats are just gonna cling and cling and cling to hope and prayer and fasting that we need a Homemaller report, We need it all. Just this can't be. This is a radical interpretation by political hacks. And by the way, this is ray. Didn't you know we get more tinfoil pack conspiracies now than we were getting fed for the last two years. What I know is that it is a summary of the report. Well, I don't want a summary of the report. I want the whole damn report. Because nobody, especially this president, is above the law. The Muller Report must be made public, all of it. It is not often that I agree with Richard Nixon. Now, did many commentators and Democratic politicians alleged collusion, Yes, did many journalists ask about it, Yes, But there is a giant difference between asking and telling. Speculation actually has value too. It helps open our eyes, helps open our minds to what's possible. There has been such fabulous reporting by especially the New York Times, The Washington Post, Street Journal. I'm reluctant to talk about it at all because you know, we don't know anything. It's a remarkable time in terms of the country and the clarity that I think this country needs, because we're talking about institutions of this great country that are in jeopardy. And the fact that you have the biggest I've set it from the get go and there's really not been a lot of us. That's a big problem to me as well. And it's this is not patting each other on the back and saying, oh, we we got it right, they got it wrong, and you know, pounding our chest here. No, it's not that at all. It's a matter of we came way too close to what is the equivalent of a coup in this country by people that abused power on a level that was probably inconceivable to most Americans. Not and I make the distinction all the time. This is not rank and file. You know, FBI. The FBI remains the premier law enforcement agency in the entire world. It's the ninety nine percent of great it's the you know, the Komis of the world destructs some pages that of the world and you know, sadly, Andrew McCabe and Baker, and you know RABICKI perhaps I don't you know who knows in the ends who's going to be held accountable in all of this. That's sad to me, you know. And then you look at the abuse of intelligence. A three hundred and fifty percent increase in unmasking in twenty sixteen alone. Why how does Samantha powers of the un you know, unmask you know, three hundred Americans and then say, oh, I don't recall any of it. Well, okay, that's really troubling. Those tools of the intelligence community are powerful. They are beyond your comprehension and mine too. You know what I have learned from my friends in the intel community, it simply blows me away. Linda. You sat in on some of those meetings, and we hear their capabilities, We are stunned, and it's it is only a small sliver of what their capabilities truly and really are. Yeah, I mean it's honestly, this is one of those moments in our history where you know, we have the ability to sit with people who have information and we watch how it's being used against private citizens. And that's the point here. And you know, I know we've got all these people if we are going to hold them accountable, the Sally Yates, Komi's, Baker's, Brennan's clappers. What about Brennan though? Can we talk about Brennon for a minute? Can we talk? You want to talk? I think we should talk about them for a minute. You know, we're very lucky we have Ethan here who has even more of an elephant memory than me. And he showed me go ahead, listen. I know, I know what my skill set is, but his might be a little better in this arena when it comes to audio. And so he showed me this cut this morning from last year, and I think we should play it. I think it's really important. It's my understanding that everything that Bruce or did was approved and known to senior Department Justice officials, coordinated close with the FBI. So I think this is something that, you know, we'll have to be looked at. I don't know all the facts here, but I think some of the facts that are being purported by some members of Congress may not in fact be the actual facts. I mean, this is this is John Brennan. This is a man who worked for our intelligence Department, who worked for our the agency, who led the people, who was supposed to be a man who believed in honesty and respecting you know, the rule of law, and he's full crap. Well, who's going to hold him accountable? It's worse than that. He's also told, he's called the president of the United States that he's guilty of treason. It is actually worse than that. That's disgusting, It's it is beyond disgusting. You know, now you've got um I'm sure will be talked about it earlier, you know, actual proof of actual collusion with a news agency MSNBC and the d n C. I mean, it would be it is, it is. You know, sometimes this has gotten you know, it gets very hard when you are competing against tinfoil hat conspiracy theories every night, and they have created an atmosphere where they build up this expectation, this passion, and their audience and whip their minds and hearts and souls even into a frenzy of expectation. And it's happened before severe consequences. As we have discussed. You know, when you learn I'll take Baltimore is one example, only you know or or Duke Lacrosse another take any of the high profile cases we talk about. But you you create an expectation by statements, reckless, irresponsible statements, not based in fact, but based on accusation, not based on evidence, but based on you know, the hopes or whatever. It is an agenda. And then people, well, you mean it's not happening that that's we knew this was going to happen. They didn't, But there was never going to happen. There never was any collusion. Yeah, but remember the Washington Examiner when they put out that article back in twenty seventeen. They've updated it now all the way up to twenty nineteen, and we have it on Hannity dot com. And one of the things that we keep seeing over and over again is it not about being right. It's not about having facts, it's not about having proof. It's about pushing a narrative and praying on those who we know are not going to do their due diligence. They're not going to do the research. They're going to be one story on one side, and that's it. They know nothing because they don't take it upon themselves to learn more. They get their news from their one source, no matter how biased it might be, and they don't get the facts. You know. That's the one difference between the two sides right now, is that there's the right, the left, and then people who just want information. They don't care what side it comes from, so long as it's true. And that's our biggest problem right now. Yeah, it just is, these are amazing times, you know. And again this you know, this new scandal of those rocking so called thirty Rock. I mean, I just gotta tell you, it's mind numbing to me, It really is. It's not mind numbing to us. We're a wide wake. They're they're the ones that are numbing asleep. But the fact that it, you know, it's now falling into place. What have I been saying all week that the media and the DNC are one, They are one. Now they're gonna say, well, Hannity, all the times you've talked to the President of the United States. First of all, it's not if I do or don't talk to the president. My answer to all these idiots that call and inquire about it, I'll say, well, I'm a member of the press, and I'm a talk show host, and yes we do. News investigator reporting opinion and sports like later we're you know, we're gonna have herschel Walker and we're the whole newspaper. But you say your news and only news, and you're supposed to be fair balanced, objective. I take on all those different roles as a talk show host. We're the whole newspaper, you're not. And what a news organization is literally colluding with the DNC or fake news c and then giving questions to the favored candidate. It's is this is not news journalism? What have I said? It is dead? It is dead, it is gone, it is buried. So Sean, remember when we put up on a handy dot com. We did the news organizations and the ties of a White House. Right, So when Barack Obama was president, nobody gave a rip about the connections between all of the different correspondents president of networks. I'll just name a few, and this is from Hanny dot com. Right, we got ABC senior correspondent Claire Shipman, she was with she was married to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. And then we had CNN President Virginia Mosley was married to Hillary Clinton's deputy secretary, Tom Knights. Then we have CBS President David Rhodes, top top Obama official Ben Rhodes, ABC president Ben Sherwood, siblings with Obama Special advisor Elizabeth Sherwood. Nobody cared. These are people, I mean, you're friends with the president. You've been friends with the president for over twenty years. These people are married and our blood relatives to network lead anchors, correspondents and presidents. And nobody gave it. They didn't care at all. All right, quick break, welcome back, and continue and herschel walker at the bottom of the hour. All right, as we continued. But here's my point to them, and what I say to them all the time as the same thing, and that is very very simple. Okay, Well, tell me who your friends you might talk to or may not talk to. Tell me who your anonymous sources are. Tell me you know whether you use sources, whether you have get background information. And it always shuts them up because I would never ask. And then I said, well, why are you asking me whether or not I talked to either a friend or maybe I talk to sources people that I know to get information so that I can inform my audience and give behind the scenes news and information that others can't and it's accurate, you know, I mean, it is so insulting, but they are holier than now. And this is this is why this whole thing is blowing up in the media's face. They have been doing this forever. I said earlier this week. You have been here, Linda and all of this crew, and you have wondered sometimes in a little bit of amazement, and we've all talked about it at different times. You really did learn that lesson in the Richard Jewel case. It really changed you. I'm like, yeah, it changed me to my core how I approach any situation. I don't care if it's Kavan or Bork, Clarence Thomas, I don't care if it is it is war in peace. I don't rush to judgment on shootings or got when they got forbid happened. And then the high profile cases Trey Von and Zimmerman in Baltimore and Ferguson and Cambridge police and UVA and Ducal Lacrosse and vetting Obama and vetting the deep state as everyone else goes in another direction. Biggest problem though, is where do you go to get your good name back? So we come back to well, the consumption of innocence has completely gone it. Let me tell you something, me go get my good name back. Forget it. That ship has long sailed, you know, And thankfully I don't care. I honestly don't whatever switch I'm supposed to have. And it's fascinating because I know it bothers many of you in this room, Kylie and Jason even and Ethan and sweet Baby the most and Linda. You get pissed and you're like, I'm remembering this forever and you do, and I'm like, you know, two years later you remind me. I'm like, what happened again? What did that person do? And you're like, oh, that's actually a very true you hate it, And so I am saying that, thank god I don't have the switch. James would come in for a long time. Don't make years and hand me. You know what people are saying about Sean Pack, I'm like to get to get rid of that. I throw it into garbage. I'm not reach you. Remember they hate handed Elie. We used to do on the radio show No But that was for fun. Yeah, but what happened, what happened with the people took it too far? Well? The problem is is that here's truth and here's reality is when we see it all the time. They want to silence us. They want to boycott us. They want to they want to what they don't want an alternative voice. We are an obstacle to them. We are the smelly Walmart shopper. And I love Walmart. I love targeting. You know these stores they have everything everything. And I remember when I lived in the hunts Fall, Alabama, I didn't really have any money and I bought all my furniture and stuff there. I mean I got everything, plates and you know, silverware and all this. You know my TV who sat on a box, literally a box from a store, an empty box, and what did I care? And Bibles are very overrated, you know, I just you know, I think you know, everyone would say, well, okay, well you're living in a big house and blah blah blah blah. And we read this about what you may get paid. Nobody's ever gotten close. There's they're off by so much it's we laugh. But you know, but I do try. I won't wear a watch because I think for me it's Austin's just I know others love it, it's not for me. I don't want a sports car and I like to wear jeans and T shirts like an NYPD hat like I have on. Now, this is massive, what's going on here? We are leading with this tonight on Hannity. Collusion NBC. Yes, in the d n C. Wow, And you thought it wasn't happening? All right, don't forget the great One, Mark Levin. Judge Janine back tonight on Hannity. I glad you with us. Yeah, it's Friday, all right, we have an incredible Hannity tonight. Yes, Judge Janine Pierro is back, She'll be on Hannity tonight, the great one, Mark Levin. And we've got so much going on as we continue now to hold these people accountable. We got some incredible stories. We're gonna be breaking tonight on that and where we need to go back to how high up does this go in the Obama administration? We know it's in Loretto Lynch's office. What does the media now do with Hillary? And all these new developments thanks to our friend Congressman Collins who released these things and much more. Right, So that's tonight, and I hope you'll join us for Judge Pierro and for the great one, and we got a few things surprises tonight for you ninetiestern On Hannity, the great herschel Walker is with us and former NFL player in Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants. And yes he actually worked for or worked for he actually played for President Trump's team for the I guess how many years did you play in the New Jersey Generals with that Donald Trump bone? Well, you know he owned the team for almost two and a half years, so I was waiting for two and a half years during the team time. Yeah. Now you have just been appointed to this brand new position, and we're really so proud of you because this really matters. You now work with the President and his administration on the President's Counsel on Sports Fitness nutrition. And you know you actually tested me out one day when you were in studio. We'll actually put the video. We still have it online because I said to you, yeah, I do you know at least one hundred pushups a day, at least one hundred setups a day. And then you're telling me, well, I do like three thousand setups a day and or or well how many pushups and set ups do you do every day. Well, I'm doing about third or five hundred day, about fifteen hundred push ups. But you know I would teach you this hand today. I was so so impressed with you because you know I can call your friend. Now you are a friend, your dear friends. Yea, I was a fan. Uh you know, I used to watch you on television and then I hope I can call your friend. But when I walked into the studio and I saw you, I said, wait a minute, you're in shape and uh push up. I was totally impressed. And uh cause you know, fitness is what I'm all about, So I was, I was totally impressed. You impressed me. All right. I got to tell you something. So I recently lost about thirteen pounds. Have you watched the TV show? I bet said nobody. Somebody volunteers have said, hey, you look great, you lost weight. I have to add, but I didn't know if the thirteen pounds goes. You looked in great shape when I saw you the last time. But I tell you, I was gonna say, your face is thinning. Your face, my stomachs even thinner. I actually underneath all that fat. I didn't realize I actually had a six pack developing, which is that's good all the time. So that's a pilot own. I can help them to cut it up. I can do that, you know. One of the other things I love we share is, uh, I got started. I don't know six and a half. I can't remember the start day. But I'm training four sometimes five days a week hour hour and a half mixed martial arts. And you know, I don't lift weights, but I do the push ups and sit ups and core building. And I do it every day no matter what. And and you were like, you know, but you make me want to do a lot more than I'm doing. I thought one hundred push ups a day was a lot for you know, an old guy like me. But you know what, Oh, that's good. That's good. You're doing good, you know, And I'm not. I don't do it to try to impress into one. I do it because I still compeak sometimes again any one in the fall or That's the reason I do so many. Now, how long would it take you to do thirty five hundred pushups? And how many push ups and set ups? You know, to do thirty five hundred and set ups? I can do that in uh twenty five thirty minutes. That push ups takes a little longer. Fifteen hundred push ups gonna take me about forty five to fifty minutes to do those. God do sets safe and you do consecutively. Yeah, I do different sets, but if they're all done by ten o'clock in the morning, so I got to get all that out of the way and stuff, and then I just start my day. And so uh, and it's a route I got where if I don't do it, it's gonna bother me. So I got to get it in and I don't have to worry about it the rest of the day, you know, all right, I gotta it's inconceivable to me because I mean I do sometimes I do as much as one hundred and fifty setups, right We're doing, you know, in groups of what thirty or more. But for example, I do these leg throws where I have a sense that you know, this guy planet yeah, but I mean throws him down violently and if my feet touched the ground. He's pissed. He really is, like you know, I mean, he's seriously and he's ripping it as strong as hell, throwing them all over the place. And I'm not gonna get yelled at. So I don't touch the ground, but I do thirty or fifty of those, and I'm feeling it. It's burning bad. How do you do that more? Now? That is very difficult. That is that is a little bit tougher sit up there than most people. I add most people to do. That is a good sit up for you. But then again you're in shape now. And then you also have martial artist. Any marshal arts bid do that. So that is good for you. But that you know, the core is you're the cores everything out of body. You got to remember that that your stommach is that engine out of the body. That's where everything's got to be generated from from that core. Now, I also do v ups. They're they're painfuls. I mean they're so hard. I mean you can you do a hundred v ups and then immediately after a hundred hard legs rowse you can do that easily? Oh yeah, I can. I can do that. And v ups are good for you, gonna it's gonna work more than just a stumping. You know, it's gonna work the arms as well, arms, shoulders, so you can. So that's happened, and then also if you grab your sense's leg that he's doing, it's throwing down. You know, you're gripping and holding, so you're you're you're a lot of tents up in your upper body and stuff. But as you stop your legs before they hit the ground, you know, you putting tents on that core stomach. That really makes it tougher and so and now I think it's a mental thing. And article I'm told I think a lot of kids should take a marsh Arts class because it's more than just about fighting. It's about self discipline. I think that's what we need in this country today, is a lot of self discipline and stuff. And I think it'd be greatful a lot of people start taking taking marshal. Maybe I'm a good example. I mean, maybe I'm a good example. Sports was my life as a kid, and then I evolved in a passion for politics. I just even as a young kid and um, but but you know I got older, then I went away from it. So I start, you know, when I'm fifty, I'm like, oh I'm tired of being fat and out of shape and feeling weak, and I start. But but if you do it, just do it every day, then it becomes a part of your life, and not only some days you don't want to do it, but you do it anyway. And we see all these kids, you know, obesity issues with young kids. It's so sad. That's the highest percentage ever. And then you read I read the other day that if you do forty push ups a day, that's it, and of course I do more every day. It prolongs your life considerably. Just that well, well, that's what it's true. I think studies have shown that a person that's in shape, a person that's fit, you know, it give them landing javita at at the same time, it gives them energy and you know, and I think sometimes we lose sight that bes kids that you know, we're say overweight, let's not say that fact. Let's say a little bit overweight. But you know I was overweight. But I think what I've challenge a lot of kids to do it. I'm thank you for having me on every day. Let's try to do at least fifteen push ups, and next week, let's try to do at least thirty. And I'm not saying doing them contextily, but do at least try to do something. And let's try to get out and walk. I think you got to get away from this social media world. I think that's a great thing, but I think kids need to get back outside and so I exercise. And that's why I was so honored when the President of gave me this position, because I said, now maybe I can get something done. You know, before, you know, I always heard about the fitness counsel, but I'm not sure what all they were doing. But right now I'm trying to change a couple of things. We'll talk about what your what your plans are. Well, you know, one of the things I said, it's something that I think is real big is you know, coming up in April, we got a listening session where people can go to the well or to uh and and listening. We're trying to hear other what other companies are doing that we can all have the same agenda that we have that we can sort of uh not really partner with, but get behind and push their agenda as well. And at the same time for the first time ever, and this is shows that the President has really have changed a lot of things. He's helped to open up this foundation. You know, we have a foundation now that we're trying to create an endowment that this will help live forever. Uh, that that will helped live forever for kids in the in the future as well. And I think that's what we got to do. Uh. You know, when you're running not running for office, but you only and I'm going to only be that this position for a certain amount of time. And I told everyone that on this present counselor here is not just hershal Walker, but there's a lot of other people with missing May and a Mario U. You know, we want to leave a lasting legacy. And I think this U Foundation that's also is having a counsel out in so many ways can to help us leave a legacy behind for all these kids that we can show them. Guys, what we want you to do is exercise has been proven that it's going to help you with healthcare, It's gonna help so many different things. And want to we want to just show them that we're behind them. Mhm. I totally agree with you. You know, I only want to say this to parents. The great thing about sports that I love is it is it duplicates life. You're gonna have to learn and take your hits. You don't always win You're gonna have to learn to be a gracious winner. When you do win, you're gonna learn. The harder you work, or whatever your sport that you have a passion for or that you like, the harder you work, the better you're going to do, the better you're gonna play. And you know what, and while you're doing it, don't forget the fun part of sports, the competition, because that that is what life's about, competing, bringing the best out of yourself. And you've done that your whole life. Herschel, That's what I mean. We're friends, but I mean I admired you from Afar long before we became friends. Well, you know, you're exactly right, and I think sports just brings it out and it teaches you how to get to get along. You know. It's so funny because you know, you have athletes that compete all over the world against chunters that really don't like you, they don't like the United States. But you have athletes that can go compete against each other and they get alan, they talk, they communicate. Well that's what sports does. It helps you to communicate. And I wish that that's what we can get. And watching right now is people communicating, people talking, people negotiating, and not just people putting each other down. You know, it was fun and I'm not getting away from this fitness thing, but sports you to learn discipline, learn who's the balls the coach got. You got a coach who's the head guy and he's the one you listened to it, he's the one you faller. And I think that's what we got to do here is we got to learn who's the head guy is. And that's one reason I think and with my group that I'm a part of, is we're here together. We're here to work for the President of the United States. He's given us an opportunity to change some things in the in the fitness world, and that's what we're trying to do with these with the young athletes. You know today, we found, as you said, as an obesive problem, and we're trying to help solve that. The way we can solve it is to help incentify kids and start exercise. And the only way we can do that is to be a living examples of that and giving them opportunities are different things that they can do well. Herschel, You're an inspiration. Congratulations on your appointment. I know you're gonna be helping kids, even older people. You know. I want to say to all of you, You're never told to start. Ragan after he got shots started lifting weights and he's never a stronger in his life and built muscles that he never thought he could build. And uh, you know what you want to live for your kids, your grandkids and as a kid, you want to be the best shape you can. You'll feel great about your self, build confidence and herschel You are a true, true role model for so many people, me included. Love you. Thank you so much.
