Hopefully all had a great week. You know. I went to church and met more pastors this weekend than I have in a while. And I gotta be til I'm gonna be honest. I loved it. I had a great time. We uh Friday, as you know, we ran a concert Friday night in lieu of Hannity and it was enormously successful. Uh. And this was the Vegas Strong Concert, a night of healing and John Rich Big and Rich and Uh. Also we had the best conversations with Big Kenny over politics. Wow, we're going over all of it with you know, just long drawn out political conversations hanging out on their bus. We had a good time. I met about a hundred and twenty seven pastors in in Vegas and then we were at Dr. Robert Jeffers Church in Dallas. First Baptist over the weekend for two services, not just one, and they interviewed me. I didn't have any idea. Apparently this went worldwide, this interview. I had no idea and it was live, and then finally somebody said, yeah, all of a sudden, text are coming in. Oh, that was a great interview with Dr Jeffers. I'm like, huh, I was watching in in Vegas. I'm watching in wherever. Uh. And then we went to Dr Darryl Scott's he's the head of the President's Diversity Coalition. And what a wonderful man he's like, he's one of He's become a dear, dear best friend. I love him and he wanted me to preach, and we've had this ongoing argument about speaking in tongues all the time, and but anyway, he's he's doing so much good at work for his community, and he's just such a good guy. Took a lot of heat for supporting any any it seems any preacher did for supporting the president. Alright, a lot coming up today. We have huge developments in the Irani in one front, Hillary Eric Holder, Barack Obama, the Obama administration are all in deep trouble. I'm gonna get to that today. Also, Uh, the state of this tax reform bill? Is it going to get done now? In light of what the Senate did last week and now they have remembered they have only created a structure by which they can build the bill. The bill is not out yet, the tax reform bill. In other words, all they've done is they built the framework. So everything is gonna be Every devil is going to be in the details. Then are you gonna get enough senators on board? And then can the Senate in the House reconcile whatever differences they may have in their competing bills, and can they get it on the President's desk hopefully by Thanksgiving the latest or the very very latest by Christmas. That's going to be the challenge in the test. Now, that's the bill that includes eight brackets to four, that includes corporate eight, that includes a lot billions of middle class tax cuts, that includes repatriation, all the things that we've been discussing. But you've got to be careful because it all matters. You know, when these greedy lobbyists start getting their hands on the ultimate bill and they start asking for this concession and that concession and that concession and this one. You know, at that point it becomes a you know, whatever congressman is beholden to whatever K Street lobbyists. You know, it then becomes a matter of who are they gonna put as their top priority. Um, so we'll hit all that today. Jay Secular is going to weigh in on the latest as it relates to uranium. One. Oh, way, do you see what I'm laying out for TV tonight? I've been working on this all day. Way do you see what we lay out tonight? I think you're gonna love it with such a good TV show tonight with Sarah Carter, John Solomon, Jase Secular, New King Rich, and Avonka. Trump is going to join us times. She doesn't do a lot of interviews, so she's pushing heavily for the tax bell She wants the tax bell um and so we'll look forward to talking to her later today. Um. So, the reason I was at all of these so Friday of this week, it's been a two year project. I don't I'm gonna tell you, I'm just gonna speak very honestly from my heart. I don't like to ever ask this audience to buy stuff. I just don't I don't want, you know what, And I don't know why. I've always resisted. Occasionally we've sold because somebody said it was a great idea for a charity, or a great idea for this reason and that reason, very very sparingly, you know, like hats and t shirts, and then other people say, well, nobody's gonna buy it if they don't want it, And I don't know, I just it's not my thing. I've written three books. I was I felt inspired at the time to do all three of them, and I'm I promise you I'm done with books. The only book I might write with the end of my career. Everything I really wanted to tell you, but I couldn't because I knew it would get me fired. Um which I'm I joke around with people because they'd like to dump me on my own radio show occasion only for words. I did say one bad word in the pulpit. It wasn't that bad. It's that it's jackass, That's all I said. And I don't think it's that bad. But the pastor's got well, he chastises me after the talk we had. But there what a great crowd we had last night anyway, So we had that and but I gotta tell you, I felt so strongly. So one day I see this movie that's called God's Not Dead and it stars actor Kevin Sorbo, and I knew Kevin. He had been on the show a couple of times, and I don't know. I said to him, if you ever have any other projects, let me know, and I'm maybe I'm interested, and maybe we can do something together because I want more movies like this taking out there. And that movie ended up doing really well because it was a really good movie, very well done, very well produced. A lot of you probably have seen it, and so it wasn't But a couple of days later he calls me and says, hey, can me, my wife and this guy Dan Gordon come and see you in New York. We've got an idea we want to throw at you. So okay, come to New York. So we meet in my office and they tell me a story and they tell me a title and the title has let There Be Light, and that is the name of the movie. This movie comes out Friday, and the bottom line is in twenty minutes, I said, yes, I absolutely want to be a part of the project and what that meant as the executive producers, I am going to help fund the movie. In the building of the movie, Um yeah, I'm and I just believed in the project. Now, I didn't know all this Harvey Weinstein stuff would come out, all this corruption, but I knew this. I've always known Hollywood has a political agenda. I've always known, and we've discussed that the media is corrupted. I've always known and we've talked about how there is outright contempt for Middle America. And that is all those red states. They you know, if you don't live in Hollywood, if you don't live in Los Angeles or San Francisco or Washington, d C. Or New York, it's like you don't even exist. And what they referred to as fly over country, and my travels in my life have proven to me that the heart and soul of America are those red states. Is that fly over country. And those are people that work hard, played by the rules, pay their taxes, obey the laws, raise their kids, faith, family, and country is what drives them in life. Nobody's perfect, because we've all sinned and fallen short, but good people that make this country a better place every time, and as I looked at Hollywood and the reason that I kind of was motivated to do this because these independent projects are hard to do. They're just hard to do because you're not doing it with the Hollywood studio. You're doing it all independently. And the way it works in Hollywood is they have these big budget films, Like all the films that were out this weekend apparently bomb they ally they all had, you know, fifty sixty d million dollar budgets. And I'll tell you why they're all bombing, because people are sick of the same old formula. It's either gonna be sex, sex and violence, violence and sex, or it's gonna be a cartoon character, or it's gonna be robots and it's gonna be you know, or it's gonna be Jennifer honest and falls in love or breaks up with this guy or that guy. It's the same and they're gonna have a little puppy dog. It's the same thing almost every time. Occasionally there's an innovative movie. My three favorite movies probably or Definitely or Gladiator because it shows you need courage in life. I love that. Are you not entertained or or Braveheart Freedom, you know, fighting for freedom, or you know the passion of the Christ because you know, as a Christian, you see the real suffering that Jesus Christ did to save us from our sins. So those would be my three favorite movies. And anyway, so when I heard when they pitched this movie in twenty minutes to me, I just sat there and I said, this movie needs to be made, and my involvement in it. I my title as executive producer. I'm not really the executive producer. I'm the person that funds the movie. And did I have some say on it? A little? But I didn't want any say because I always believe if you make a deal with somebody, they do they've got to step up and do their part. And I can tell you at the end of this movie, and we how long has it been it works two years, year and a half somewhere around there, that it is something that I'm very proud to be associated with. Here's our problem. We're not connected to a studio. We didn't have the big budget that these Hollywood studios have. And I can tell you it is higher quality then most of these big budget films. And here's what separates it from the other movies you'll go see if you want to go see it is it won't insult your intill intelligence. It is not formulaic. This movie is intended for your intellect, your mind, your heart, and your soul. There is not a person that I have screened this movie four that has not cried. It has a message that does not insult your values at all. And every person that I've seen that I know has seen the movie have been touched by it. And that's what I think movies can do. And you're gonna go on a roller coaster ride in this movie, an emotional roller coaster ride, an intellectual roller coaster ride. Let me tell you it starts out. So it's called Let There Be Light. It will be in It'll be in about three theaters. It's not gonna be one of these big two thousand five theater releases only to bomb and make you know, a million dollars back and what they had a hundred million dollar budget. So we're gonna release it over time, and it's this weekend. I think we'll have three hundred theaters and then we're gonna grow from there, and then we have some output deals that that will the will make it possible a time. But the better it does this weekend to be perfectly blunt with you, the more access will have to theaters, because you know theaters are dying right now. They want successful movies. Anyway, it starts out it shows you the evil, the darkness in this world, and there's a lot of it, and then we sort of we sort of phase into and dissolve into a debate that's happening, and Kevin Sorbo is playing an atheist that wrote a book called Abording God, and he's debating a Christian minister and the crowd loves the atheists and has nothing but contempt for the Christian guy that's laying out his case. And then throughout this process you begin to understand, well, how did somebody get to the point where they hate cod How did they get to this point? And without giving the movie away, it's about a transformation of a human soul and how the impact of his decisions to be part of the paparazzi and the glitterati and a part of you know, red carpet culture and and hot young models and abandoning your family and drinking and drugs, and and how that impacts everybody else, and how it impacts his life and how he struggles and is being torn between two forces in his life. One to keep going in the direction he's going because oh, there's there's a lot of money in in selling this idea of a boarding nod. And then but it's but his soul is in conflict. And I can just tell you you will never figure out the ending to this movie. Unlike most movies, you can figure it out within twenty minutes. Okay, that one's gonna die or Okay, that one's gonna live. Okay, that's gonna happen. And I would advise you to bring tissues. The list of theaters is on Hannity dot com where it opens this weekend. We are updating it throughout the week. We're actually even adding as we talk, because now people are hearing about the movie and the movie theaters are actually asking for it. Then we'll be up there eating it at different points when we add a lot of theaters, and we'll put in the theaters that we're adding. And uh, I just hope you when you you can take your whole family. Uh, there's nothing insulting thro your intelligence or you can values and I think you're gonna like it, and I hope so, because if this succeeds, then hopefully others will make more of them. I don't want to do it, but but because there's just enough work that I have in my life. This is a lot of work, and but I'm very proud of it, and I think you will like it, and I think it will inspire you and your family. All Right, So it's called Let There Be Light Hannity dot com. We got all the details there. We'll talk more about it as a week unfolds opens Friday. October thirty one marks the five anniversary of the Reformation. Did the reformer Martin Luther aspire to start a new church? Was he a sixteenth century che guevera intending to overthrow institutional authority? Or was this movement a conservative Reformation? Find out what the podcast issues Etcetera issues etc. Dot Net Real Reformation Radio issues, etc. Dot Net issues, etc. Dot Net. I did not know this till we took a break here. So I gave our executive producer here, Linda, a early copy of the movie. And I don't think she's ever cried three times in her life. And you said you cried during the movie. What what that there's a scene in the movie. No no, no, no no, no no no don't no no no, don't because it's going to ruin up everybody. I'm not going to give it away. There was a scene that caused you, was it like bursting out? Because I some people were inconsolable at times. I mean, there's very few times that I'm very few tis that I'm not, first of all. First of all, but it was very moving and I think I think the one thing that's really great about your movie is that if you have kids, you know, one of the things about when you have kids, you're afraid to let them watch anything because you don't know what's going to happen next. On the scene. But did you ever do this with Liam? Because you have I Liam? Now he just turned to turn to Okay, do you ever do this? You go in late at night and you just put your hand to make sure he's breathing. I put a mirror under his nose. I never did that, Like do I see I go and then it's like dark at night and I'm like pulling out my phone trying to figure out how to put on my flashlight. You know, I still. But the thing is, I still do it. I can't do it. My son's at college, so I can't do that anymore. But you know I do with my daughter. I mean, I mean, we're gonna do it so the day we die there. I think I had a fear of this because my parents had a sister of mine that died of crib death. What do they call it? Um death syndrome, And so I think that I always I don't. I don't think it's ever been proven to be genetic. And then you have all these warriors. What do you put the kid on the stomach? They put the kid on the back. Where do you But it doesn't matter where you put them. Once they learned how to roll around, they're gonna roll around and bang up the whole crib, which is why you put panting on every side. Um. You know, kids are the only thing in life. I fear nothing. You just worry about your kids. I don't care about anything else except worrying about my kids. I don't worry about money. I don't want I never did, never, I could live in a cardboard box. I don't care if people laugh at it. The only one that I think knows the sweet baby James, because he's seen my cardboard boxes that I live in. Very nice boxes. That very nice. All Right, we have huge Uranium one news. We'll get to that. We've got Jay Sekulo today, Freedom Cancus members, will the tax reform bill pass? Phil Robertson, now, well on beholden to anybody. He'll join us in your call straight a hut alright now till the top of the hour one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of the program. So last week we told you at length about this corrupt Uranium one deal, and the most insane thing about this story is it goes back to two thousand and nine, just as the Obama administration is taking office, and we told you about how the FBI had pretty much picked up that Vladimir Putin the Russians had infiltrated the uranium market in America, and we're up to their eyeballs in it. The FBI had evidence, they had documents, they had emails, they've had financial records, they had eyewitnesses. They even had an agent within sort of in the inner circle and inner ranks, a counter spy agent. I mean, it's it's like a spy novel. You can't even believe half the time that this this stuff happens, but it does. Um, yeah, I got that part. I don't need the part. Who who's the guy they're talking about? All right? So anyway, so we went into all of this, and then the Russians used bribery and kickbacks and extortion, and they end money laundering. They end up securing the uranium one deal. And then we found out that, oh, Bill Clinton, in the middle of this, went to Moscow and he wanted to meet with the ranium officials on behalf of this deal, and that he got double his normal speaking fee five thousand dollars for one speech. And while he was there, he met with Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin is the one that wanted to infiltrate the uranium market in America. We find all of this out last week. There's almost a media blackout. And meanwhile, this is the same Russia You've heard a year or so now about Russia is trying to influence America's election as well as testimony has been given. They've done it in the past, they've tried to this election. It appears to me they wanted Hillary more than they wanted Donald trumpet office, especially with the ads on Facebook and Google and all these other places. And it gets worse every hour of every day. Headline today. FBI watched and then acted as a Russian spy moved closer to Hillary Clinton. The FBI knew one of the people. There were nine agencies that had to sign off. One of the agency's was not only Hillary Clinton State, but also the Justice Department. And that meant Eric Holder. Eric Holder's Justice Department is in charge of the FBI. And just to add another side note here, we have it within the Justice Department, Rob Rosenstein, he knew about the evidence that exists, had to know about the evidence that existed. Here. Robert Muller's the FBI director at the time. Who would they to judge anything Russia if in fact they knew about this deal. And it's far bigger than influencing the election than any evidence that they've been able to produce to date. Now, this is how it begins. It goes as Hillary Clinton was beginning her job as the president's chief diplomat, federal agents observed as multiple arms of Vladimir Putin's machine unleashed an influenced campaign that was desig mine to win access to the new Secretary of State or husband Bill Clinton, and members of they're in a circle. Some of the activities the FBI agents gathered, they gathered evidence about in two thousand and nine and two thousand and ten were covert and they were illegal. Do you understand what's going on here? And I want to get it a little deeper into the story. I think, actually, and that's John Solomon's headline from from today and over at National Review. There's not everybody that hates Trump over there. There are a few people that are actually fairly objected. Victor Davis Hansen probably is the most objective of anybody over at National Review. But I've always liked Andy McCarthy, and Andy understands this stuff as well as anybody. Said, let's put the Uranian one scandal into perspective. He writes, the cool half million bucks the Putin regime funnel to Bill Clinton was five times the amount it's spent on the Facebook, adds the ones the media democratic complex ludicrously suggests wung the presidential election. I did not know that until I read it in Andy's column. I didn't know it was that little money. I always assumed it was a lot more money. Okay, so five dred thousand dollars that they got they gave the Bill Clinton that's literally five times more than they spent on you know, all Facebook ads and everything else. So there was not a big financial investment in terms of Facebook ads, etcetera, etcetera, trying to influence the election. That's not what the media has been telling you. So that's another lie. Anyway, the Facebook add by, which started in June fift before Trump even entered the race, I kept telling everybody I think that they were gonna influence this in any way. It was going to be in support of Hillary Clinton anyway. That ad let's see Mark Penn his own estimate, the Clinton's own political strategist, sixty five hundred dollars went to actual electioneering bucks. And meanwhile Bill Clinton got twice as normal speaking fee five thousand dollar pay day uh from the Kremlin Tide Russian Bank for one single speech of part of what is now we now know as literally a hundred and forty five million dollars fund of Little Clinton Foundation. Now, the person that Bill Clinton spoke to was a Kremlin tied, a putent Tide Russian Bank renaissance. Oh, hang on a second, I mean the Russians had ties into the bank that brought Bill Clinton in. Oh, by the way, the bank had a financial interest in the uranium deal. Shocking anyway, So Russia was plotting and they successfully pulled this off. That is the big danger here of America's uranium. And we learned last week that they can now export remember yellow cake uranium, the whole valerie playing Joe Wilson issue and valerie and and yellow cake uranium. Well, you make nuclear bombs with the yellow cake uranium, and now they can take Vladimir Putin has control of that can actually transport yellowcake uranium out of the United States. Well, who's he gonna sell it to? Or what's he gonna do with it? Is he gonna sell it to North Korea? Is he gonna sell it to the the Iranians? So the uranium one deal, is Andy points out, is not only or even principally a Clinton scandal. It's an entire Obama administration scandal. Of course it is. Hillary was not the only one to cash in. And he goes on to say the Clintons were doing what the Clintons do, cashing in on the public service. Okay, but the problem is all of that is illegal, all of that is a crime, and the administration green green lights of America's uranium mining capacity to Russia. Well, we've just heard from every liberal news outlet in the country and every Democrat in the country for a full year. How this is hostile regime to the United States. Well, why would these idiots have handed over of our uranium and specifically to Russian state controlled nuclear energy conglomerate, because that's what it was, uh rossa tom is the name of it. Why would they give it to them? Why would they allow the merger? Why would they sign off on something like this and everybody approved the transfer? That is the real crime. If if the Kremlin and Vladimir are that bad and there's such a hostile regime, why in God's name would anybody ever do that. It's inexplicable to me, and it should be to you too. Now, they knew that Congressional Republicans were trying to stop the transfer, But the Justice Department knew about everything that I just pointed out to you. They knew about the kickbacks, the bribery, the extortion, the money laundry because the Justice Department under Eric Holder, well, they had he controls the FBI. The FBI had the evidence, documents, the emails, of financial records, the eyewitnesses, they had them all. They had to know everything. And this is where Robert Mueller I begin to question him. What did he know and when did he know it? And who is he now to be a judge on anything that is involved with Russia in the Department of Justice, allowing this racketeering enterprise to compromise not only the American uranium industry, but also they waited four years before they had one person plead out in a very low profile manner because they didn't want any of us to know. And by the way, in violation of Justice Department charging guidelines. That's another big oh whoopsie daisy on their part, because they didn't want you to know, just like the eyewitness that had to sign an n d A that had infiltrated this entire network that's now being represented by Victoria Tunsing. That's why they made this poor guy sign a non disclosure agreement and not let this guy tell everything he knows to the American people in the Congress. Now, if you look at all of this you know, Vladimir Putin believes that that you know their status and this was Andy's take, not mine. Is a third rate economic power, and for well over a decade they have sought to develop an exploit. They want to be a nuclear energy producer. They also love the fact that all the natural gas and energy and oil that they supply to Western Europe is a bit of a power play for them. That's why we ever become energy independent, one of the best things will no longer be importing the lifeblood of our economy from countries that hate us. But we also become a protection for Western Europe. If God forbid, Russia or Putin or his successor at some point wants to turn off the spicket, what's going to happen there anyway. So in two thousand and nine, Obama Secretary of Clinton Sink signaled the new administration's determination they wanted their reset with Moscow, and part of the reset was nuclear energy. That's that was central to what Vladimir Putin wanted. Vladimir Putin set out to get into and get the market on American uranium so he can become a big nuclear player. That's the bottom line here. And they did it, and they did it successfully, and they did it, and they infiltrated the entire industry in our country, and they did it, and they were able to bribe their way through the whole thing. You know, the Obama administration, you know, issued the visas for a lot of these people to come and so on and so forth. Anyway, so the FBI was able to understand this from the get go. The FBI saw this was a racketeering enterprise. The FBI understood apparently this was you know, a lot of bribery and a lot of a lot of documents, emails, financial records, and even tape recordings exist that would explain all of this in detail for people. And as John Solomon and Sarah Carter have been reporting this, this one informant that has the n d A, the Nondisclosure Agreement learned through conversations with some of the Russians involved in Russian officials and nuclear officials were they were all ingratiating themselves to the Clintons. Now it doesn't make any sense to sign off, does it, of America's uranium to Vladimir Putin the hostile regime? Does it? In two thousand and five, Bill Clinton helped the Canadian billionaire and friend Frank Gustra. He was involved in this as well, obtained a coveted uranium mining rights contract from Kazakhstan's dictator and that enabled that company of Gustra to merge into uranium one. That's the deal that Hillary signed off on. At the time, Bill Clinton is paid to double his speaking fee and meeting with Vladimir Putin. So Putin literally now is is set out. Uranium is the foundational nuclear power. New York Times actually put out a report on the interplay between the Clinton Foundation and the transfer of these uranium assets to Russia. And the United States gets a if of its electoral electrical excuse me, electric power from nuclear energy, but they only produce a fifth of the uranium that needs so a foreign entity would not be able to acquire rights to American uranium without the approval of the Committee of Foreign Investments in the United States. Those are the nine agencies. So at the Russian reset going on, And remember in two thousand and what was it UM twelve. You know, tell Vladimir I'll have a lot more flexibility after the election. Yet that's my lection. I have more QUESI movies themishing to listen. It's so deeply corrupt, it's unbelievable, you know, it's so deeply and this is where Clinton cash comes in, and in this atmosphere, you know, they had every bit of evidence to stop it, and they did it anyway. I don't want to hear one more thing about how dangerous, how hostile the Russian regime is, you know, because the FBI knew all along, and we can get all the answers as soon as the NBA is lifted out some of the good news in this. And I want to know what Mueller's knows about all of this. He had to know what his FBI was doing. Now the Senate's launching an investigation into all of this. The House Intel Committee has launched the preliminary probe, and Victoria Tunsing is going to make sure that there's one eye witness that we have that signed an NBA is going to be able to talk. And I think Jeff Sessions is now going to begin an investigation into this. So we're gonna have a series of investigations and we'll get to the bottom of it, which shows we were way ahead of the curve. I've been telling you. I told you over a year ago that this was a much bigger scandal than anybody was ever going to admit. And the fact that Bill Clinton had his his Vladimir Putin meeting before Vladimir poured millions into the Clinton Foundation. I want to know where all the money came. Now that we know the money was laundered, does that mean that the money that came supposedly from Canadian businessmen associated with the deal, did they get the money to donate to the Clinton Foundation from the Russians? You have to wonder who knew what, when and where you know? And by the way, representative to Santis was on Fox News Sunday this weekend and actually said House leadership blocked the probe into the Clinton Foundation. Anyway, we're gonna get into this with Ja Seculo next. I don't want to hear about Russia unless we're gonna talk about the biggest compromise of American security. Do you understand what happened? They sold out our security, sold it out for millions of dollars in kickbacks, and now they have the evidence that we can prove it all. All right, as we continue, Sean Hannity's all right, we got Jay Sekulo is the chief council for the American Center for Law Injustice. Where does this all end up? We'll get his take on all of this. We'll lay it all out on Hannity tonight and New King Rich and Sarah Carter and John Solomon and Ivanka Trump. That's not in Eastern you don't want to miss tonight's show. Uranium is a big subject if the mainstream media would cover the uranium scandal and that Russia has of a uranium for whatever reason, and a lot of people understand what those reasons may be. I think that's your Russia story. That's your real Russia story, not a story where they talk about collusion and there was none, it was a hoax. Your real Russia story is uranium and how they got all of that uranum vast percentage of what we have. That is to me one of the big stories of the decade, not just now, of the decade. The problem is that the mainstream media does not want to cover that story because that affects people that they protect, so they don't like covering that story. But the big story is uranium and how Russia got of our uranium, and frankly, it's a disgrace. It's a disgrace, and it's a disgrace that the fake news won't cover it. It's so as you know, Sean Hannity on his program has been very critical of the uranium one deal the President, saying with regard to Russia, that's the real story and all of this. What would you say to those critics, I would say, it's the same bologna they've been peddling for years and there's been no no credible evidence by anyone. In fact, it's been debunked repeatedly and will continue to be debunked. But here's what they're doing. And really I have to give them credit. You know, Trump and his allies, including Fox News, are really experts at distraction and diversion. So the closer the investigation about real Russian ties between Trump associates and real Russians, as we've heard Jeff Sessions finally admit to uh in his testimony the other day, the more they want to just throw mud on the wall. And I'm their favorite target, me and you know President Obama, we're the ones that they always like to put into the crosshairs. Um. So yes, I'm not surprised, but I think the real story is how nervous they are about these continuing investigations. An hour to Sean on the show, very angry Hillary Clinton on c Span, explaining again and again and again once she lost, she couldn't be more wrong with the facts. As we have major new developments again today, as we have been discussing and pointing out that in fact, the FBI has evidence in the form of documents and emails and financial records and an eye witness that will now that actually was infiltrating all of this uh with that showed the Russians were using bribery and kickbacks and extortion and money laundering to secure the uranium one deal. This was all an effort by Vladimir putin Moscow the Russians from two thousand and nine on to corner the uranium market in the US, and they ended up being successful. And they were successful in large part because Hillary signed off on it. Eric Holder's own Justice Department and FBI had people infiltrating withinside this entire Russian operation, and now they have all the evidence. The only problem is the chief witness in this case has been literally handcuffed by a nondisclosure agreement. Which appears now that it's going to be lifted. And we have even further news today. We found out last week, at the end of last week that Bill Clinton had actually had a secret meeting when he was paid double his normal speaking rate at the time that all of this was being discussed with Vladimir Putin before in fact, Russia board millions into the Clinton Foundation. And then you get to that, you go John Solomon, Then you go to Sarah Carter and a U S consulting firm with ties to the Clinton's lobbied on behalf of Russia's nuclear giant, and so much more, so much more. You have the confidential informant now is talking to Congress. You've got the Senators launched an investigation as a result of the reporting of John Solomon and Sarah Carter, and and I was pushing it on this show and on Hannity the TV show. You've got other investigations now beginning to take place. Senator Sessions is going to be looking into it. And now we have questions about Robert Muller's involvement in all this, and Rod Rosenstein's involvement in all this, and whether or not they have conflicts of interest to investigate anything Russia connected here to help break all this down. The chief council for the American Center for Law and Justice and a Council to the President, Jay Secular, was with us. How are you, sir. I'm doing great, shown I now you've been off the grid for a while. We've missed you. Why you are gone? Um, let's get your overall take on what they knew back in two thousand and nine and how deeply the money ties to Russia and the Uranium one participants, and Clinton's role in involvement in this, because to me, it's one of the biggest national security scandals. Um, one of the biggest infiltrations by Russia in the history of this country. So if you look at what's happened here, and we've done an analysis of the kind of the timeline here, and of course you know no one has all the facts on this, but what you have to understand is there was there's a committee in side of the government called the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States. They are the ones that approved the sale of uranium one to the Russian owned company which controls of our uranium. At the same time that that proceeding was going on. You had the Russia spy ring going on, include being Cynthia Murphy who was a sleeper agent for the Russians, and in February two thousand and nine she made was considered as major breakthrough and secured a job as an accountant for a major Democratic donor and friend of the Clintons. Then you have in Russians urged Murphy to work for a Washington lobbying firm. She does. Ultimately the FBI finds out about this, she gets arrested. On June June, the FBI finds out that the Russians um HAD or a Russian backed entity, paid five hundred thousand dollars to former President Clinton for the speech you just mentioned. At the same time, you had this bribery scheme going on with the informant that now has this nd A nondisclosure agreement where he is capable of testifying. According to his lawyer, our friend Victoria tun Singh, that there was numerous conversations in which Russian actors described their efforts to lobby, influence, and ingratiate themselves into the Clintons. But let me take it a step further. We have to ask our selves, and I think we got to ask this with the government. Senator Grassley is looking at this, what is it that the Committee on Foreign Investments actually was aware of? Were they aware, for instance, there was a Russia spir ring. Were they aware of the fact that there was infiltration? Were they aware of the fact that part of the negotiations on this while it was going on, that there was all these side problems dealing with the Russians, including the spies being taken out of the country. Because on the committee was as you mentioned, Eric holder, uh, Secretary of State Clinton, and others. I mean, I think there were sixteen people total involved in the committee. That committee's work is not clear exactly how they operated, but that's what Senator Grassley is getting to. So you look at this situation and you say to yourself, why isn't this the subject of an investigation? If there's gonna be investigation, because how was it that we disposed of uranium control to the Russians? I mean, it's it's mind boggling. The latest development today let me read just the first two paragraphs of John Solomon's piece up as some of the activities of the FBI agents gathered evidence into two thousand and nine and two thousand and ten that were covert and illegal. The headline is FBI Watch then acted as a Russian spy moved closer to Hillary Clinton. A female Russian spy posing it as American accountant, used a false identity, burned her way into and the employee of a major Democratic donor, and the hopes of gaining intelligence on Hillary Clinton's department. The spy was arrested, deported, etcetera. Other activities you know, go on from there, But the FBI knew from the get go. And this is where I think Americans have to focus their attention here, is that they now have in the FBI had back in two thousand nine evidence documents, emails, financial records, eyewitnesses, evidence of bribery, kickbacks, extortion, money laundering. And at the same time, she was signing off on of America's uranium, which obviously Vladimir Putin at agents in this country and agents working throughout this network trying to corner the Uranian market in America, and she ended up signing off along with Eric Calder who knew this evidence existed, and then of America's Uranium goes to Putin, Now this is long before quote Russian influence in our elections, which they have no evidence for. And the media there's almost a complete media blackout on this. Jay right, Well you've been on it, which is you know great. As you mentioned, I was out with a health issue for a week or two. But I um, I will say this if you read the letter from a secretary of this excuse me, Charles Grassley, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. He writes this in a letter He says, I raised additional concerns related to potential conflicts of interest between the State Department and the transacting parties, that is, the transacting parties being Uranium One. These conserns, uh, these concerns stemmed from the fact that during the critical stages of the acquisition approval again that was the acquisition of Uranium One, interested parties, such as the chairman of Uranium One, made large donations, some in the millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of eight. So again we have the situation where looking at the letter from Senator Grassley, looking at the information that John Solomon has gotten together, that we in fact have now a scenario at least developing scenario sean of multiple investigations going on, and the question has to be asked the approving entity, the Committee on Foreign Relations, what did they know and that were they aware of any of this? And of course that information we don't have. We are going to send out a foil on that right away to to get that information. Let me let me go back to us. I've got the full articles. As Hillary Clinton was beginning her job again, the the headline is simple, FBI watts and acted as Russian spy moved closer to Hillary Clinton. As Hillary Clinton was beginning her job as President Obama's chief diplomat, federal agents observed as multiple arms of Vladimir Putin's machine unleashed an influence campaign designed to win access to the new Secretary of State, her husband, Bill Clinton, members of their circle. But the problem is is that they succeeded Jay. The problem is is and not only did they succeed, but the Clinton's benefited to the tune of, you know, a hundred and forty five million dollars to their foundation. A and be they Bill got double his speaking fee and also met with Vladimir Putin in the process of all of this, and and it seems like to me that you know anybody that would ever sign who would ever sign off if Russia is so dangerous that we've heard from the last year, Russia dangerous, plutin dangerous, putin dangerous, Russia dangerous. If it was so dangerous, why would they give Vladimir of America's uranium and now also on top of it, yellow cake uranium they're allowed to export from the United States. We don't know where that yellow cake is going. That's the direct foundational material for nuclear warheads. And here's another question. The FBI arrested and deported the Russian spies on June, but the Department of Justice waited until four years later to bring any charges. That was after the deal was consummated. So in that time President Obama's Committee on Foreign Investments again approved the Russia deal. So they know, they arrest, they deport the spies that were arrested, they wait four years to bring charges, and now we're uncovering this. But this is it, Sean. I think this is a huge, not only huge stories, a huge issue for the American people. What does this mean for the Robert Mueller, he was at the helm of the FBI, during this period of time, he had to know this evidence existed. How could he be a fair arborter in anything Russia when they didn't take the proper steps of the time, and meanwhile, all those evidence was in existence, and the same with Rod Rosenstein and the same with mcnai. Yeah. Well we don't know though, And this is how to be fair to Bob Muller. The Department of Justice was on the committee, the FBI was not, So we don't know what the FBI was allowed to share with a minute, but it was okay, but it was but the FBI knew about it. I mean, the whole point is is that the FBI had the evidence, we invested, the FBI had an ongoing investigation. The question is, and this is where it needs to focus, what was this committee, the committee that approved this committee on Foreign Investments, which have been around since, by the way, the nineteen seventies kind of morphed over the years. What were they told or what were they allowed to be told about what was going on? Because while Eric Holder as the Attorney General was on the committee, the FBI Director Bob Mueller was not. So you don't know, and I want to be clear on this, Uh, You don't know what was shared with the this committee when they did disapproval. But what we do know is that they knew about But he knew about the Uranian one deal, did he not? Yeah? But he well, I don't know, but he what he knows about is what I mean. But it was his FBI that had the evidence. I got to imagine a director that the evidence on the investigation of the attempt to interfere by the Russians as it related to getting close on the why would be hard. But there is a report that there were questions being asked, why did Bill Clinton get double his normal speaking and the money kicked back to the foundation? Questions? Those are all that's those are all legitimate focus of inquiry as to the nature of what happened here. But as it were late to the sale of the need to be clear on this as it relates to the sale of the uranium that was not within the department with the FBI. Right, stay right there, We'll take a break more with more with j Seculo in in a second, Chief Council American Center for Law in Justice, Council of the President. Right, as we continue with Jay Secular, Chief Council for the American Center for Law in Justice and Council Or to the President. We were talking about Robert Muller when we went to the break here. Okay, I want to be clear. There were nine people that had to sign off on the iranium one deal. The Clintons benefited both and financially numerous ways. The FBI knew in two thousand and nine, and they had evidence in two thousand and nine that that Vladimir Putin and the Russians had a network that they were building to try and corner the market on American uranium, And the FBI at that time gathered documents, emails, financial records, and they had infiltrated this this Russian uranium group that wanted to either transfer or get ahold of some of the assets that we have in this country. Then are finding out an the FBI discovered bribery and kickbacks, extortion and money laundering. Okay, Now, Robert Mueller, who were the people that knew about the uranium one deal and had the sign off? There were nine people. Wasn't one of them Hillary? One of them? Eric Holder? Yeah? So his Department of Energy, Department of Justice, Trade Representative, State Commerce, Homeland Security, National Intelligence. So as the head of the d o J. All right, as the head of the d o J, didn't Eric Holder have to know that that the FBI had this information? Yeah, you would think that the head of the Department of Justice would know by the FBI as to the nature of the investigation. And why, I don't know why you're resisting the idea that the FBI director at the time, Robert Mueller, would have known as Rod Rosenstein, he knew or not. He didn't have remember this whether he knew or not. I mean, he was the head of the FBI, so I'm sure he knew what was going on with the investigation. He wasn't in a position of authority with regard to the sale of uranium one. He could not be under the law an objecting party. The objecting party is set forth in the statute which authorizes the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States. That would be the Attorney General of the United States having that vote, not the FBI director would have no influence whatsoever. Yeah, alright, Jay Sekulo, American Center for Law and Justice. I gotta let you go. We really appreciate it. You'll join us on Hannity tonight. On the Fox News channel. We'll be having all the new, latest breaking developments. I think this thing now needs, at the very least a special council appointed yesterday. And we're not even talking about Fusion GPS and how they specialized in disinformation. Who paid them for the Russian dossier that they got, because basically it was Russian sources. One Shawn or toll free telephone number, you want to be a part of the program. To the top of the hour, one Shawn, toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. We'll get to our phones here in just a second. Freedom CALLCUSE members Dave Bratt and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania. Can they get the budget done? Can they get tax reform done? We'll get to the um that's coming up. Also, Phil Robertson now apparently says that he's done with PC and now that he's not on a traditional network, he's starting a new show on online on c R TV. He says, watch out, it's gonna be amazing. So anyway, we were in we had a really great day were the movie is what released on Friday. Let There be Light. Um. We're really really proud of it we been on the road. We actually met with a group of wonderful pastors in Vegas. I thought this was the coolest thing. They actually have a hundred and twenty seven pastors that meet once a week from all different denominations and they try and get on the same page, and they try and you know, overlapping projects and anyway, I got to introduce the movie to them on what night was that Friday night? And on Sunday we were down at Pastor Robert Jeffers Church in Dallas, First Baptist, and then we saw our friend dr uh Pastor Darryl Scott last night which was in Cleveland, and we had a great time. He wanted me to preach. I tried a little bit. I did a little bit of preaching. What you didn't like it? I heard a couple of I got a couple of amen's out at a Linda there. Anyway, so Friday night we had, you know, after we did the TV show because we had the concert, etcetera, etcetera. Well we're all in different hotels. Sweet Baby James and and Romeo and Kristen and Linda was there and then Kristen brings in all of her friends because she went to school down in Texas and uh Stagnator was out gambling as usual, so he wasn't there anyway. So one of the things that I do when I go out, and I do this with my own kids, and I was explaining it to everybody, is that I don't like the fact that we're all very shy when it comes to meeting new people. I'm not sorry if I'm meeting anybody else, say hi to anybody. I don't care who you are, where you came from. So anyway, was so at the hotel I was at, they didn't have the Yankee game. It's Game seven and they're playing the Astros, and I called down to because I like to just sit in my room and get room service and hang out by myself because I'm a total complete loser. And so they they're like, oh, we don't of that channel. I'm like, what do you mean you don't have that channel? It's a Game seven. It's like one of the only baseball games I want to watch all year. So anyway, we decided as we called down and we asked the front desk if there's a local place that has televisions as a sports bar or something. We found a sports bar and this is in Dallas Saturday night. And so I'm explaining that, you know, I would make my kids. For example, if I'm sitting in a restaurant, I'll offer the money to go talk to strangers at a table and see if they can strike up a conversation. And I think it's just good people, skilled building in life. And my son is very gregarious. He has sure, Dad, what do you want them? So with him, I do take it a little step further. You know, I'll say, okay, you have to touch the person's shoulder, hand shake their hand, you know, when we go up, come up with a long list of stuff and he has to find a way to shake their hands say hello. But it's not threatening in any way. Just trust me. It's fun. It's all in good fun and um anyway. So then my daughter was so he's been surprising me recently because she never wanted to play. She never wanted to show no, I'm not doing this game. And but I think it's important to be out going and say hi, how are you? Very nice to meet you introduce yourself to new people and doing a nice, kind fun way. And if you do it, I think it builds your people skills, and people skills in life are important. So anyway, we also so we started looking at different groups of people that are at this particular sports bar, and then we start saying, all right, what's their story. You know, there were three women that came in, what's their story? Then there was a party said next to us, on a huge, big tape, what's their story? Because they're sitting there and I looked like a birthday party of something, but everybody didn't know each other, and it was so obvious they didn't know each other. It wasn't like a group, so it was one person having this. Turns out somebody's leaving to go to another country. And so I said to these guys that were hanging out with us next to us, I said, okay, well i'm gonna give you a hundred bucks, go find out the story because we want to find out if we're right or not. And so they had to work their way in, especially the poor guy that went over to the party. They're looking at that hid fifty heads on and then we said, but you have to stay five minutes or else you don't get the hundred bucks. And he's trying to make up conversation. He ends up getting the whole story out of them, which was pretty good. Um, and you thought, did you like that game or not like that game? Yeah? I mean it was interesting to watch, that's for sure. Yeah. I mean, because don't you agree with me? Especially when it comes to like men and women. It's like you can look across the room and you can see, oh, that guy likes that girl. That girl likes that guy, but both of them are scared to death to say hello. I mean, I see that happen all the time. I don't know. The number one fear people having life is is is speaking in public. I thought it was funnier was sitting at the table and watching the guy behind you to around go excuse me, Um, are you Sean Hannity, because you look like Sean Hannity. That happened, Yes, I'm Sean Hannity. Now here's a hundred bucks go talk to strangers. Yeah, that didn't happen that way. First we got to know each other. He had served in the military, point he had game. He really had a gregarious personality, and it was great and a lot of fun. But um, these are the things that I do, and I only did this when the Yankees were down for nothing and I think I have nothing else to do now. Oh yeah, we were the only Yankee fans in the sports bar in Texas. Uh, but the people there were one. It was such a fun places. It was just a cool fun I think sports bar. Everywhere we went, people were very, very nice. People are always nice. I mean occasionally I got one jerk that comes up to me. But you know, on this trip, now, we didn't have one. No, and if it would have happened, I just threatened to break their own kidding joking For all of you in the mainstream media. I did not threaten violence to any liberal at any point at any time. I just say thank you, having a nice thing and keep walking. All right, Let's get to our busy phones up, Sean Hannity, exactly call me. I have the answers at times. Todd is in Washington. What's up, Todd? How are you bi? Sean? Thanks for having me on the show. You're a great American. We just love you. Thank you. And my question, I guess, would you with Congresswoman Frederika Wilson when she came into office on January two thousand and eleven and then ghaz Olivia appurred September eleven, two thou twelve, when the diplomatic compound and annex were attacked and we ended up with four dead Americans. Where was the outrage from her at that point in time when Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Susan Rice lied and told the families of American people that it was caused by a YouTube video. And then when Hilly went on to be summoned to testify, and she said, what's the difference does it make at this point? What difference does it make? Yeah? It makes Uh had four dat Americans? Yeah, and then you lied to the American people one of her many lives. I actually think and when you see what I lay out tonight on television, in all its detail and and and all the corroborating comments and and and information I'm gonna pass on tonight, I think Hillary is in deep trouble. What difference at this point does it make? It makes a big difference of you're lying to the families of four dead Americans and you made up a lie to protect yourself and say, you know, cover your own backside. Now see why a anyway, Thanks Todd, good points. Jillian is in Chicago. What's up, Jillian? How are you glad you called? John? Just just want to say that you couldn't have picked a better time to have a movie out let there be light. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Thank you, and uh yeah, I also want to thank you for the hard work you do on honest reporting because America needs that today. It's uh, you know, the country is is on the brink of trying to identify where it's gonna go, and you're a big part of it, and so a big things. I really appreciate. Look, I want to say this about the movie, uh, and I appreciate it. If you go to my website Hannity dot com, I think we're starting in about three D theaters now. If you look at, for example, the movies The Bomb this weekend, they're all in the eighteen hundred two thousand, all of the big Hollywood studios, They're not going to produce a movie like this, They're just not. So what we what I decided to do as executive producers as where we went our own way, where we've gone the independent route, and it's not to make money. I'll be honest, I did not do. I love the message of this movie, and I'm very, very proud of it, and I am hoping if you really want to know the truth, what my bigger goal long term is, and it's not for me. I hope that we can figure out a way to transcend this monopoly that these these big studios in Hollywood run by Weinstein and others have on what it is that we and our family see and watch when we go to the movies. This movie is entertaining, It has a message. It'll make you think, heart, mind, and soul. It's gonna touch your heart and and hopefully move your soul in a direction. It is so well done. I could not be any prouder of this movie. But where we have to do it a little bit differently. So we're doing like three theaters this weekend, and then we'll do three hundred next weekend and then three weekend after. But you know, it's all. We'll get more theaters the more successful the movie is on its first weekend. And the best way that you can make that happen is go to Hannity dot com. Now, for some of you, that's gonna mean you might have to drive an extra twenty minutes or thirty minutes or something to see the movie, buy the tickets online or whatever. But it is a message that that you don't get in Hollywood movies. All these movies I see today. I mean I have HBO, I have Showed Time, I have Cinemax, I have Epics, I have I have them all. I have every channel imaginable. And I can't even begin to describe for you how many times I have gone through every single channel I have and I find nothing. I feel like watching nothing. Then I'll move to Netflix after that, and then if there's nothing there, that go to Amazon. I mean, I like to watch television, but I think this is filling a void because here's the truth. The truth is is that if you're conservative, if you're a Christian conservative in particular, Hollywood mocks your values. Hollywood has they don't even think we exist. So if it's not sex, violence and a cartoon character and the same you know love story formula that they make with a you know, Jennifer Aniston and fill in the blank guy, I mean it's all the same. To me, This is not the same. This movie is different. And I'm gonna tell you one other thing. I will tell you that the odds are you're going to cry during this movie. It is extraordinarily touching, it's extraordinarily moving. And here's the other thing. I'll tell you will never predict the ending. Now, that's exactly. And it's not hitting you over the head with religion either. It's not. It's it's it's a message, but it's not bam. And it starts out with an atheist who wrote a book called A Boarding God debating a Christian and the Christian is being mocked and ridiculed on the stage and the atheist is loved. And then you find out a lot more about what why did this guy write a book and hates God so much? And and it takes you on a roller coaster ride journey to a predictable ending that I think you'll find intriguing. And the only reason, look, I'm gonna be I'm the one that invested the money in the movie. And it was after a twenty minute conversation with Kevin Sam Sorbo and Dan Gordon, three people that put this movie together, and I said, you know what, I'll take a shot. I'll do it, and I let them do their thing. And you know I had some saying it, but I mean at the end of the day. Um, it's this is not a Hollywood feature. This is an independent film that we are getting our own theaters for. So it's on Hannity dot com. It opens in theaters Friday, and I hope you'll take your family to it open. It was a pretty big opening weekend for four a small opening, and then we're going to go from there. Hannity's movie didn't have it only took in x x numbers of dollars and I'm gonna be a year because we only had three D theaters because no Hollywood. We didn't even ask the Hollywood executives in the movie house or production company would want to do this movie. That's why we did it. And we did it all on our own. We did not do it with any help, and we don't want their help. I don't want their help. And you know, hopefully we can create a new model so we can get a lot more good movies. By the way, and I don't want to be in the movie business, I really don't, but I'm proud of this movie. I really am. Thank you. I'm president. Chomp Thills were a very kind He was an amazing man, an amazing husband, and amazing soldier. And I couldn't be more proud of my husband that I am right now started to be honest with you. Um, it's what my husband wanted to be. Yeah, he was, you know, just like just a special guy. Yes, he's just an all around guy. And I'm glad that you got to get to know a little bit about him and get to hear a little bit about him. Sir, My husband is uh to me. He was already mikey roll to be honest with you. We've been together fifteen years, five children, um run down real quick seventeen, fifteen, twelve and four. My son is currently um and to Missouri playing football. So when I say all around a hero, yes, and but now it's like the world gets to know he is American. He will also thank you. I really really appreciate it. I really do, sir, thank you. That's so amazing, amazing. And I'll tell you when you're around if you could you know the people to deal with. But if you're Washington, you come home and GEM and the over office. Okay, yes, sir, you just come home with me because you are just the kind of family. This is what we want. But if you just take care of yourself when you're in Washington, and say your children and tell him their father was a great hero. That I respected it and just learned before I made I'd like to learn and to make what kind of a guy you was to just that your father was a great hero. And take care of yourself. That it's gonna be key. Thank you so much. Care of yourself. Thank you, Thank you, sir. And to you the same, Okay, I really appreciate it, sir, and thank you, thank you very much for myself and family. Thank you, Thank you too, sir. So with all the talk about one family and this this irritates the living daylight on him. We're gonna now politicize the president trying to console the wife of a family member that lost their love one, and that he says, everybody knows the risk that it means to be a soldier, but when it happens, it's so painful anyway, and it's so and then Frederico Wilson goes out there and tries to make this a call. So that woman that is called the president of racist tried to impeach him, that absolutely despises and hates him. And then braggs, oh, the president mention my name. Oh great, I'm a rock star. And and yet other people are so disgusted by it because the call from the President meant a lot to them. Now, let's be honest, when you lose a loved one, there's not much anybody can say. And we all know that because we've all lost friends and loved ones. And when that happens, you don't know what to say. And it's the hardest thing. But you're just letting people know you care. Is what really matters, isn't it? For our final news round up and information overload? They can't get this tax bill done this year? Should they forego Thanksgiving and Christmas? Should they be here if they don't have a bill on your desk by thanks getting well, I think they should, and I think they will. I think a lot of things are happening unless you know it's going to be right after that. But I don't even like them leaving. But I will say this, I want to get it by the end of the year, but I'd be very disappointed if it took that long. It could be substantially less than that, depending on what happens when we send the bill back to the House. You know, they'll send it back and people are gonna go. And you don't make two hundred suggestions as opposed to maybe no suggestions. Because it's a great bill. It's going to be a great bill, and we're adjusting. We're adjusting so that there's no way that the middle class doesn't greatly benefit. Every once in a while there's a method under which, you know, it could be that some people in the middle class won't benefit as much as we want them to benefit. And we're making certain adjustments. But I think we're going to have it sooner rather than later. Can you get us any sense of this fifth bracket? I mean, if you do a fifth bracket, is that a million dollars? Is two million dollars? What's the number. I don't think we'll use a fifth bracket. I only want to use a fifth bracket for any reason. I feel the middle class is not getting as much as I thought they would or as much as they're entitled to. They're entitled to a lot. This is about the middle class. It's really about the middle class and about jobs. And if I feel that the middle class is not getting what I want them to get, and that's going to be a lot because I want them to get really a lot. Uh, then I'm going to do a fifth bracket, which will give them more. Bringing the corporate text down, you know, maybe is the most important that we have a lot of most importance, but bringing it down from thirty five down to that's a massive It was the biggest we've ever done. It's a big deal on the corporate rate for Shaw, it's a big deal for companies, it's a big deal for investment. I think one of the other ones is expensing. You know, when you write something off in one year as opposed to you over many years. I think that's going to be tremendous. We have so many things in this plan that are going to be for growth. And you know your next question is going to be deficits and all and and I fully understand that, and we all understand it. And growth. If we pick up one point on g d P, that's two point five trillion dollars. If you think of it, two point five, it more than pays for everything. And I think we pick up much more than one point. And I've been the one that's saying we're gonna hit three sooner rather than later. Well, last quarter we hit three point two. All right, that's the President talking with Maria bar to Romo of the Fox Business Network as he now pushes hard for his tax plan. And now the question is, with the Senate vote last week, there now is the least framework for this tax plan in place, and it is what the President has been saying out on the campaign trail and joining us to discuss, is how this gets done, when it will get done, if it will get done. Members of the House Freedom Caucus, you know, basically the only people in Washington I trust in the swamp, and that would be uh, Congressman Dave brad of Virginia, Congressman Scott Perry of Pennsylvania. Gentlemen, welcome back. You know I say this on radio and TV. Do you know how much other people hate that I applaud the fact that you guys fight to keep your promises and that I respect that you fight to keep your promises. You know, you've got this jerk Senator that I supported one of the biggest mistakes in my life, Ben Sass. And I'm like, you do nothing, Senator, you can't get anything done, And he sits there, you know, all he wants to monitor what I do on Sundays for crying out loud. I'm like, why don't you go do your job and repeal and replace Obamacare and go fight for it and get on television and convince your colleagues. It's a good thing to do. There are people that don't like the fact that I like you guys. That's ridiculous. How are you, Dave Brett? Yeah, no, you're great. You got I think you got the same problem we got. We were just common sense people. And when you say you're gonna repeal obama Care and you look up repealing websters, it means you get rid of it exactly. Yeah. And now on tax it's I'm a great foreshadow a little bit. But the President just gave a little hint there. He said they're offering up, you know, four fifty suggestions. I wish it was no suggestion. What that means the swamp is starting to kick in. And the more the swamp kicks in and gets rid of these special interests, the deductions, the special loopholes, the less tax money that's going to be left over. In other words, what's kinda what's gonna happen now? Because they've only released the framework, there's no bill that we're talking about. And the framework is basically what the President said out in other words, big picture, eight brackets to four. And then he talked about the corporate tax rate is gonna be no higher than and then he talked about repatriation. Then he talked about a middle class tax cut, and then there's talk about, well, now maybe we won't have this this millionaires won't get any tax cut. But doesn't that go against the principle of growing the economy because the top rate under Reagan went from seventy to twenty percent. Seems like we're missing a part of the equation that would actually work. Y'all just jump in quick and then hand it over to Scott. But yeah, the the the pro growth pieces are the expense thing, the corporate and the escort. Right, the escorts are the small business guys all the jobs, and it's key we do the right thing that that that's going to creep up up up as the swamp win. And we got to make sure small business gets what they want. And then you know, the Democrats are already saying, right of the money goes to the top one percent is totally false. And what they're doing is they're banging a small business person. They're saying small business are the rich guys. And that's certainly not the case in my district, and I'm sure not in Pennsylvania where General Perry lives. We just lost Congressman Perry for a minute, so I'll stay on this with you, Congressman bratt Um. Now I'm watching this unfold. I've got to believe that the people in the Senate that failed on healthcare, I gotta believe that they know that any senator up for re election in eighteen, that if they don't get this done, especially after the Vomacare disaster they didn't repeal it, that they're gonna they're gonna get fired a lot of these guys, and they're gonna be primary because Steve Man in his said he's gonna primary a lot of these people. Yeah, I I wish you're right. I hope you're right, but I'm I'm highly doubtful. On the Senate, and even there's gonna be enormous pressure on the House because the old way of doing things, it's dollars, right, it's donors over voters, and if you got your ten million in the bank, everyone thinks they're safe in my election. If nothing else, my election showed, you know, dollars don't vote. People do. And so we're real proud in the seventh district, the people spoke, but we need Nobody ever thought that Eric Canter could be defeated. It was your Your race was just the the canary in the coal mine. And I think actually in the Senate, I think Roy Moore is the canary and the call mine for senators right right now, there's gonna be enormous pressure. Everybody's watching. Uh. The good thing President Trump has done it with his media savvy and his tweets. A lot of people, you know, get riled about the tweets, but everybody knows now the mainstream media, it's just part of the Democrat Party, right, there's no doubt about it. They're messaging for the Democrat Party. They share the thing. You you do the best job of anyone shown every night you show this person, says the CNN says this, The Washington Post says this the same day. The local media in your by the way, that they hate me almost as much as as Mints McConnell does. That's because you're doing your job. Sn You're doing that, You're doing a patriotic cause. Awesome. Yeah, well, look, I just want things to get done. It looks my motivation is pure. I was given a speech last night past the Darryl Scott's church in Cleveland, and I have my movie coming out on Frinday, and I said, this is a movie because I think Hollywood is corrupt and formulaic and dull and boring, and I wanted to do something a little more uplifting that you can take your whole family too. That's not all sex, violence and cartoon characters brought to life. I mean, I've seen my my one thousand Spider Man movie. I'm done with it. And they and they will make a lot of good movies. So this is a movie about real life emotions, the heart, mind and soul. And I think it came out really well and I hope people will see it. But so I was there and we were talking about all of this stuff. There's very few people in Washington now that have any courage. And I think the idea that that Republicans can't get a simple thing, you know this. They used to have an identity. Reagan had an identity, New Gingrich had an identity. They were very strong principles that guided the whole party. The president has an identity. I can tell you where he stands on every issue, and he hasn't changed his opinions since he got an office. You know, Republicans. But for the few people in the Freedom Caucus, they seem and and maybe Ted Cruz and a couple of others, they don't seem to have rand Paul's another one. He has an identity. He fights for what he believes in. And these other people I don't even you never hear from these people. Yeah, that that positive vision you're talking about. Reagan had that, and of course that's the Judeo Christian tradition in our country and a sense of decency and what people are waiting to see. It's almost more important than health care attack that they want America back, They want a positive American dreams want. Yeah, exactly, I want the dishwasher that Sean Hannity was a twelve to, you know, the dishwasher Today. I have the same chances I've had in life. I've been very blessed. Ye and that's it. And then and then it is funny like Hillary will say we want a village, but she's punishing every small business in the village, and the Democrats kick got out of the village back in their platform eight years ago. Now they won't even teach ethics in the public schools. And people want to know why the language coursing instead of uplift and we're going in the wrong direction. One of the reasons healthcare got so painful in the House, and you guys eventually got there. But well, really for two reasons. Number one, the leadership didn't build a consensus bill. At first, they did it behind closed doors, and then when it came out, nobody had seen it, and then nobody liked it. And the second thing was, then you had about a hundred Republicans that are afraid to actually repeal and replace Opamacare. Um, is this bill, this tax cut bill, this this reform bill? Is it gonna be transparent? Do you feel like the leadership is reaching out to you guys and bringing you in the process. Yeah, it has been. Then we you know, we held out. We said, look, we want to see it before we vote for it. That would always be helpful. And then they showed it to us and I walked up to the mic right up because I like to be a truth teller. I kind of like what I see here. Everything named off. The problem is you got a trillion and a half to work with right on pay for us. And Kevin Brady, he's a great guy, but he's going along with kind of the swamp pay for in dynamics scoring folks up there. He's going with a status quote democrat and he's just got to demand with Paul Ryan, what what does that? What does that mean for most people that have no clue what you're talking about? What does this mean? Now? I apologize, you gotta pay for tax cuts. So that's the most stupid thing you ever heard, right, I got, Well, the President just answered that question. The President said that if you raise GDP by one point, it's worth about two point five trillion dollars. That's right, And so that's that's if we passed the cut, and to get the cut, you gotta pay for them. And so we got to either name something we're gonna cut spending that hasn't happened, or else we got to come up with getting rid of deductions right to like the state and local pay for is about a trade and a half a buck, and that border adjustable piece is going to be a trillion bucks. And so if we lose those, we lose the pay force, and then we can't lower your rates in the middle class as much. And so all of K Street and all the lobbyists are going to come in this next two weeks and say, you cannot possibly get rid of my special deduction or my special treatment. How about we tell those people, how about we tell those people to pound sand and get away from Congress. Right? Well, and that's right, and any the other piece, because I know that the leadership listens to your show that the storing has to be very dynamic. We're very pot Reagan and JFK they both did tact cuts and got four to five percent real growth. So there's no reason we can't get three percent growth. And if you get three or four percent growth, and then if you would just hold the line on spending, I'm not even talking about cutting spending. You know, I've always been an advocate of the penny plan. God forbid Washington ever spend less money on everything. But you know, but for the say the military and national security, just cut a penny out of every dollar and eliminate baseline budgeting, which is you know, built in increases every year you know, we'd balanced the budget, we'll be able to pay down the debt, and we'd be doing a lot better. All Right, Continue Shawn Hannity showe undred nine one, Shawn. Congressman Dave Pratt of Virginia Freedom Callcause member Uh Scott Perry finally joining us fifteen hundred hours late. But I mean we still like the guy. Uh, what did you lose the number? What happened? Did you got Did you get stuck in the Senate dining room for twenty minutes? And I was calling and calling. It just kept saying it was busy. I kept on pushing call, and it's kept on saying it was busy. So I'm sorry I was giving you a hard time, but I didn't mean any of it a hard time anyhow. It's okay with keep us real, alright. So on Fox News Sunday yesterday, you have a member of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee saying Ron de Santis saying the House leadership blocked a probe into the Clinton Foundation. Why would they ever do that? Congressman Perry, We'll ask you. I am struggling to understand why our leadership isn't having hearing hearing on a multitude of things, especially and including that, as you know, Sean Me, Louie Gomer, Jim Jordan, Rhonda Santis had to have our own imprompt new hearing on this, on this I T scandal with UH, with the Awan and Wasserman Schultz. I mean, we are we are begging, We are trying to force and embarrass and with and somehow get our leadership to take a look at these issues that all the American people are saying. The evidence is right in front of you. It's a mountain of evidence. Why aren't you taking a look at this? Where is the hearing well? I don't think they can stop it now. I mean with all the latest developments, and we've got new developments today they were discussing earlier in the program. I gotta believe they're gonna go forward. Otherwise we don't have equal justice in lit the law. I don't understand this. The Democrats make up lies and we investigate them for years and they they expand on one conspiracy theory after another, and Republicans like, no, I don't know. They may get mad at us, so we might get we may get blamed for the shutdown. Obama's president, well, Trump's president. We still may get blamed for the government shutdown. I'm like, I don't understand this level of weakness and and seeming, you know, impotence. Really, is there a better term for it? No? Uh, you know, Sean, I was talking to some colleagues and some friends over the weekend about the exact same circumstance that that you're talking about. And other than complicity, Other than complicity, I don't know any other reason why we wouldn't be investigating, why we wouldn't be holding hearings. What could what could possibly be a good reason other than you have something that you're concerned about yourself that you're involved in somehow. Um, I can't think of any I've been Well, I think what they I think what their fear is is that if they have a fear, a genuine fear, to take a stand, And what I think they're missing here is that if they fulfill their promises, fight for what they believe in, that they're gonna get rewarded with the verious thing they seem to want to protect, which is their power. Congressman Brant, Yeah, well, I agree that you look at the Obamacare repeal, it was the same kind of thing. And so if you had any competition, you had that doctor, Yeah, Dr josh Umberg. Yeah, if you provide that competition, that's a threat to the to the donor class, and to the big insurance and that will destabilize the market as that kind of a doctor finds his way for a year, and then voters get jittery, and then we get jittery that we might lose our next election cycle. And well, but be honest, I don't think anyone. I've never met a Freedom Caucus member that really gives a rip about They don't think about their elections first. And that's what I think makes you guys that much better than a cut above the rest of them. We don't. But you know what's the worst thing that happened? So what, you lose a stupid congressional race, then you get to move on with your life. Who cares? All Right, thank you all for being with us. When we come back, Phil Robertson is now unfiltered, and he says, guess what, I'm not encumbered by traditional media anymore, and I'm going to speak out like never before. What does that mean? That's next? Stay in touch with a handity face flo join the message board at Hannity dot com. What does a man do when they try to run him out of town for quoting a Bible verse? M I tell what he does. He goes deep in the woods and he starts a fire. For far too long, we have been told to shut up no more. Here's the deal, American. These are my woods out here. I called the shots out here. We reject political correctness or as I like to say, pontificated crap, in favor of some good old fashioned biblical correctness. So if you're tired of being told what to think, what to say, if you want to hear one mean what they say and say what they mean, if you want a healthy dose of truth, if you want to hear the name of Jesus without reservation, well then I would suggest you come join me in the woods. Alright, twenty four now till the top of the hour one Shaun's at free telephone number. That is the trailer for in the Woods, which is Phil Robertson's brand new show on CRTV. Uh It's told this way now, unencumbered by traditional media outlets, Robertson has the freedom to speak his mind and will take you his viewers behind the scenes into his woods, his daily life, and to share muse you know, his views on faith and culture and politics uncensored and most assuredly politically incorrect. And there's Phil Robertson as with us. How are you. I'm doing well. It's somewhat of a I started out all Times Square pannity, and I looked around at a three hundred and sixty degree circle. It was nothing but gyrating human beings. Yeah, I told them. The words of Thomas and Thomas Jefferson crossed my mind. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can continue to find open lands to go to. But if they ever get stacked on top of one another, like the major cities in Europe, they'll become as corrupt as we are. So so, when when were you hanging out in Times Square? This morning? Some people came, behay and all right, what are you doing over here? I said, I'll tell you what. I won't stay long. Yeah, you're getting the hell out. I don't blame you. Listen my my television studio, when my radio studios are right there. See that, that's my that's my neck of the woods. Fill. Let's see what I live in every day. Oh my goodness. You look, here's the deal though, Remember this identified a mass cross section of humanity going scurrying to and fro. And I want our listeners to understand shown I love everlast one of them. You understand what I'm saying. Not to listen, I know, but there's a certain no, no, no. All right. So you did duck Dynasty for how many years? Ah? That was about a five year run, okay, and then you got into trouble and but you they still brought you back on the air. And but you said you're now unencumbered the way you were by traditional media outlets. And that suggests that you know, you held back a lot in that show, or they edited out because I kind of know you every time I told anyone, and I kept trying. Look, I'm into spiritual warfare. You've shown you deal more with political warfare. Well, it's one of the set. But but but wait a minute, Phillips, one of the same when you really think about it, because I'm the same. But what I'm telling you is when you start talking about Jesus, when you start talking about faith, when you start talking about death and sin, what they do is they tend to exclude what you said. So every time I would do so one of those interviews, I would talk about what a great thing God did by sending Jesus to remove our sin for crying out loud, which I had a lot and so does everyone else, and the resurrection, I should just think about it, life and immortality. But those kind of things were always edited out. Well, it's not gonna be. But I've known you for a long time. I've never edited you on the show or edited any interview you've been on, and I consider you a friend. I like you. I love your outspokenness. I love that you're not politically correct. And that's why I'm waiting on you to get the jacuzzi in New York. I'm here, you're here, get the jacuzi. Are you inviting me into a jacuzzi? And I don't think I like that idea at all. No gas, no cutton Mouth and the new one. Alright, So what Phil is talking about. He's not talking about us in a jacuzzi together. So I'm down in Monroe, Louisiana, and at the trailer that Phil Robertson lives in, although he built another kitchen for his wife. I guess because you made some money on the TV show. But anyway, so I'm down there and you're very kind. We were growing out some steaks and we're having a good time. And when we just hang him doing nothing, you know, and Hannity, you go, there's what you said. I'll never forget. You're sitting in that old grungy chairry yours, and you know, Hannity, you want to get them ratings up. Come on out, let me dunkey and baptize you in that swamp. And I said, Phil, I just saw an alligator out in the swamp. I'm not going in the swamp. So now you're offering to baptize me in a jacuzzi. By the way, I'm fine with I would do it in a harpy. Remember you remember you died of seeing and the old Hannity is buried. It's coming over and again, by the way, there'd be there'll be a lot of happy liberals of Hannity was dead. There was even a fake news report that I died in a bicycle accident. Well, and you can put it on your show. Yeah, people will see that what the world is that that will give you the opportunity to show but it sounded weird when you said, Hannity, let's get ourselves at jacuzzi in New York together. People have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah, well you've gotten in this, in this thing up here around the yuppies in all in New York. The blow. No gators, no cotton mouse. Listen. I'll do it in the pool. I'll do it, and I'm not. I am not doing it where alligators are swimming. I'm just not spend to two days ago. By the way, if the alligators get me before you finish the job, I'm still going to Hell. Oh no, you're not. No, the Almighty will be is long On Mercy Day before yesterday, I talked to a guy. He's a contractor and being in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and with the latest hullabaloo over over of the President calling uh his widow, look, I talked to the guy. He had served in the military, joined back up, still being paid by the United States government. His skill said, he has many he's been through how on Earth, many close calls, and he just wanted to sit down and talk with me. So I told him the good news about Jesus. One of the things I told him was just pertinent for everyone to understand. I said, son, I said, he was like one of my boys I was talking to here, serving his country to the death if need be. I said, in the particular line of work you are in, when you joined up for that, your your chances of expiring early went up. I said, it's a dangerous line of work. I commend you, and I honor you and respect you for doing it. I said, but just remember, there is a resurrection of the dead. According to the Bible, Jesus was raised from the dead to show us all there's life beyond the grave. I said, in your line of work, you need to listen very carefully about Jesus dying and three days later being raised from the dead. He destroyed death for you. I said. That way, if you continue in your line of work, you will get out of here alive. Even if you you lose your physical life on this earth, you will be raised from the dead. Listen. He told me, Hannity, alligators archive mouths, get me down there on that river. So I took him down there, we embraced. I love him as a brother, and he said he was the next up with Arizona, and he was contemplating whether he was going to go back over into Afghanistan or Iraq or wherever they are over there in Somali and all those places. But what I'm my point is make sure everybody who joins up for the U. S. Military look into the resurrection of Jesus Christ, because think about it, Hannity, it would make me feel better if death came close. You understand what I'm saying. Listen, I believe everything I think you believe. I think you're just you're more devout than I am. And yeah, do I believe that Jesus is the son of God and that he came to earth to reconcile us to the Father. Yeah, I believe all of that. And he suffered, died, and was buried, and and he saves us from our sins. Yeah. The only question I have is why do I keep on sitting. I'm not perfect, you know, because the spirit is willing, but the body is weak. When Jesus was resurrected, he stayed forty days to convince him that he was alive, shown and he went back into heaven. He now is that the Father's right hand Listen, constantly mediating for the ones who are in him. He's mediating for this ends the same blood that removes all your passings, is there seven, so that no sin is counted against you the rest of your life on planet Earth. So what you gotta remember is you can't start from an infant like you did. You were taught as an infant, you hadn't sinned it because you didn't know what the law said. That's Romans seven, verse eight. Once your conscience kicked in and you got into them early teenage years, that's when you sinned. Those are the ones. That's why you need to be born again infant too early. Hell is not full of little children to Harshawn. You know that, Well, they didn't do anything wrong. I mean, they might have entered the world with sin, but they know that's that's the sin of the world that we were all born with. Right, they entered the world knowing the difference when they got old enough as well. Wait a minute, I gotta say, I know all the time when I do something wrong, don't you sure? But when you were in in a crib, you didn't know what immorality was, lying, stealing. You're too young to know those things. When the commandment came to you is when your conscience developed enough. Well, let me ask you this. Are you going to on this new show which is called in the Woods with Phillips on CRTV dot com. Are you going to be talking? Is religion the bigger part of the discussion that you want to have I will deal mainly with with I'm convinced of one thing that the fix is more spiritual in America than it is political. Look, John, once you take God out of the way and you elevate government as being the one who gives you your rights, not true according to the deck Lace of Independence. If you expect the government to feed you, how's you educate? You give you take care of your health? You say, once you elevate the government over God, you have aired big time because what you're basically saying is the government will save me, not God. And that's what we've done in America. We've allowed government to supersede God. But all the text are playing in the Bible. You can't operate about a consciousness of God without going south. Your pins will weigh you down. And that's where we are in America. The people are the ones the people. Corrupt people be get corrupt politicians. That's true. I mean, we we get we get government, and that's what we now have, and we're going to try to change that. And we need to get godly men in positions in the government and do go back to what our founding. Well, then maybe you'll have to get out of the woods and go to Washington. Maybe we'll put will send Phil. You know, first we'll have in the woods with Phil roberts and then we'll have in Washington, d C. With Phil robertson. But but you don't even like being in Times Square more than fifteen minutes, and you're to go home. Don't expect me to run. I watched I watched it. I watched an episode of Duck Dynasty, and you're the whole family goes on a trip to Hawaii, and you spent the whole time inside your room in Hawaii. You didn't even leave. It just didn't behoove me to go to Hot White saying a lot of water that you can't drink and have naked women running around. I just said, hell, I don't know if that. Well. God made women in man's image, and you know, God put men and women together. By the way, I think we'll call you when you go to d C. After you're done within the woods with Phil. I think we're gonna call it in the swamp with Phil Robertson. Yeah, well, at least I'm from us a true swamp. I've been there. I've seen it swamp. See Okay, well I called a sewer every day, So in the sewer with Phil Robertson. Alright, Well, I wish all the best. You're you're a good man, and uh, I love the fact that you you're passionate out your faith and you share your faith and I think that, uh, you know, basically you are unencumbered by media outlets. Apparently they're gonna let you say anything you want, which I think is great for anybody. And it's on CRTV, and uh, we always love talking to you, Phil Robertson, Thanks for being will us alight. You're the best. God bless you. One. Shawn Tolfrey telephone number. He is a trip. He is fun to hang Hannity. You want to get them ratings up, Come on out to that swamp back there. We're just hanging out. It was an alligator in the swamp. I'm not going to be baptized at a swamp. Take a quick break got a night, incredible show tonight on Hannity on the Fox News Channel.
