Institutional vs. Mistake -March 26th, Hour 1

Published Mar 27, 2025, 2:57 AM

What's the difference between a mistake and an institutional issue?  It's the difference between a slip where no classified information was shared vs. a server hidden to send thousand of untraced emails.... or perhaps hiding the fact that a President was incompetent to serve in the office.  Those are institutional issues vs. an honest mistake.

All right, thank you Scott Channon, and thanks to all of you for being one of those. Write down are toll free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program, it's eight hundred nine to four one Sean if you'd like to join us. You know, it is amazing, but it is as predictable as the day is long. And that is the Left and their craziness and then their insanity, and how predictable it all is. Sorry, I don't know what that is. I think the TV was on. Sorry about that anyway. So if you look at what we now have the Atlantic and let me let me be very clear, let me start at the beginning, and I think that Caroline Levitt made the proper distinction. And the president we expected in an hour is going to have a press conference, will bring that information to you live, and I'm sure I'll have something to add add to it. There is a difference between sensitive information versus classified information. The warnings of potential attacks, for example, against countries in the region where the hoodies are were made publicly by the President and were pretty well known to all that this was a strong likelihood. None of this should be a surprise to anybody. Now. With that said, I'm not going to disagree and say that it wasn't unfortunate, because it was unfortunate, and it was obviously inadvertent the error to have accidentally included or somehow included a reporter, especially Jeffrey Goldberg, who nobody in their right mind and this administration would ever be talking to or wouldever put on a text chain about anything that is sensitive. And as reported, steps have already been taken to prevent this from ever happening in the future. And the distinction between sensitive and top secret classification information is very critical because we're dealing with sensitive information. The administration has reiterated no classified material was discussed, and more importantly, the mission was operation racially a complete success. Pete Hegseth just put up on X So let me get this straight. The Atlantic release the so called war plans, and those plans include no names, no targets, no locations, no units, no routes, no sources, no methods, and no classified information. Those are some real pretty adam schiffee war plans, which I thought was a pretty good response. And intelligence professionals, I guess, if they really want to, they can debate whether it would quote be classified, but nobody would disagree that it is sensitive and should be released to the public. At the Pentagon, it's called controlled unclassified information that you normally don't release to the public. Okay, Lesson learned. But this was seemingly a one off. And this is where the distinction and the difference comes in. And you know, in my analysis really needs to be put in perspective here because it is frustrating to me when you look at the democratic part. By the way, Mark Penn had an interesting take. I have no idea where he got this from. He believes the chance that this was done by an operative looking to embarrass the administration is about ninety percent. I'd love to talk to him about that, because I don't even know how somebody could possibly, you know, somehow get to get into a text message like that. The weird thing is is Mike Wallas, you know, took full ownership of it yesterday when he was on with l Laura Ingram, And he has no idea. He said he never spoke to this guy in his life. And CIA Director Ratcliffe testified that signal messaging that app is authorized for government use and was on his government phone when he became CIA director. And anyway, now, there's a lot to unpack here and a lot to get to in all of this. But the Democrats now represent a party that is been radicalized. They are definitely the crazy party versus the common sense agenda of Donald Trump. And they were Republicans, That's who they are. They're the party of you know, unhinged anger and resentment and intolerance and hatred for all things Trump, all things Elon Musk, and for all things anyone who dares to disagree with their radical worldview. As we've been pointing out, they're the party that now is putting the rights of illegal immigrants, even trendy Aragua gang members, over your safety and security. They're the party that is now championing the right of men to play in women's sports. They are the party that claims it's a constitutional crisis. If you identify hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse spent internationally on their radical Green New Deal, dei ism, wokeism and transgenderism and LGBTQ plus issues. This is money abroad. While the average America makes sixty six grand a year in the average you know, we now have. I've thirty seven trillion in debt headed to forty trillion because we're still living under the Biden Harris budget and they're not working to improve the life of America. They're obsessed. They want to go from one political lawfare smear campaign to another, even though now President Trump is in office. They want to use the courts and judicial activism as a means of thwarting the will of the American people and the agenda the President Trump has laid out the mandate he was given by the American people. And after this high level White House text exchange about strikes and Yemen, again, I make the distinction. I think it's sensitive information. Yeah, I would say it's a one off. But here's the point about this. And you can see, you know, everybody's now gone back. They revert to form and they go to what they know best. They ran a campaign on Hitler Stalin Mussolini a Nazi, fascist and racist. It didn't get him over the finish line, didn't even come close. Donald Trump wins all seven swing states, he wins the popular vote, and they're a party now that has created a circular firing squad. And now the seeming leaders of the party, the yard, Jasmine Crockett and AOC and Bernie Sanders, and that's pretty much who they are. And everyone bows at the altar. And if you don't think there's group think, I'll just go back to the joint session again. You don't stand for women, for mothers that lost their daughters. You don't stand for a young man to beat cancer. You don't stand for the first lady. You don't stand for a young woman who lost her hero husband who was in law enforcement. You don't stand for a young man who lost his father that it gets announced that he just got a commission to West Point. And you don't stand for the President of the United States. And in unison they pull out their Bingo cards and hold up signs as a means of showing quote resistance and acting like a bunch of Petel children that don't get their own way. But according to the Director of National Intelligence and everybody that has examined the text exchange, you know, there was no classified information that was shared. And then you've got to go back to Pete hegsa's you know, posting about this, and I think is exactly right. You know, the Atlantic releases war plans and those plans didn't include names, targets, locations, units, routes, sources, methods, and no classified information. Okay, so you know, yes, it shouldn't have happened, but it's a one off. It's not institutionalized. Now, let's make a comparison, and I think this is very important, and that is most Democrats and most members of the legacy media mob. And remember I proclaimed that they are dead after November fifth, because they threw everything, combined rats, legacy media through everything they had at Donald Trump, and they were not able to beat him. They took him to court, they tried to put him in jail, They used lawfare, weaponization at a level this country has never seen before. None of it worked. The American people saw through this. So it's not it's pretty predictable that this is the only thing they know, because the only alternative would be a course correction and introspection and an analysis of how they were so out of touch with the American people and their egos couldn't handle such self reflection, you know, so they feigned more you know, phony moral superiority and outrage. And we know it's not the case. National security was not a top concern for the Democrats and the Democratic Party in the last number of years. They had no problem when Joe Biden created what was the biggest preventable national security crisis in our history. And that's when he opened the floodgates at our southern border. That's when he allowed in known terrorists, murderers, rapists, criminals, gang members, cartel members, and millions of other unvetted Biden Harris illegals. That is the biggest national security breach. We're just beginning the process of trying to clean up that mess, and I don't know if we're ever going to be fully successful. How do you identify all of these millions of unvetted Biden harrisy illegals. So this is the same Democratic radical party that's been more radicalized. This is the same legacy media mob that are pretending to care about national security breaches. They were the exact same people that combined flat out lied to you the American people, day in and day out for four years, and they told you that your border was secure and that you're border was closed. And meanwhile Fox and a few of us on the radio were telling you the truth and showing you the videos that contradicted every lie that they were telling. They also lied about Joe's obvious cognitive decline. That would be a national security problem. If the president of our country is in steep, significant cognitive decline, and he was, that represents a clear and present danger to national security. The radical left in Congress and the Senate, the radical left in the legacy media are the same people that didn't care because they all knew Joe was slipping. They all knew that he was in decline. They all hit it. They all knew our borders were wide open, they all knew that no vetting was taking place. They never covered it. They hit it up, you know. And remember why why didn't Robert hr charge Joe Biden with a crime? Because Joe was an elderly man with a very poor memory, unfit for trial. So if he's unfit for trial, that kind of means he's unfit for office. And Democrats they didn't care. The media didn't care. They weren't concerned about his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that resulted in the horrific deaths of thirteen US service members, you know, and all of these refugees that also came out of Afghanistan. They didn't care about the billions of dollars in military equipment that Joe left behind because of his hasty exit from Afghanistan, and that weaponry went to the Taliban, the very same group that helped facilitate nine to eleven. Don't forget that he abandoned Bagram Air Base, which likely will end up if we don't do something about it, in the hands of China. And don't forget it. I brought this up yesterday, General Millie. He's one of the ones that got preemptive pardons, along with Liz Chaining and Kinzinger Kinzinger, whatever his name is and the congenital liar Adam Schiff. Well so too did the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and that is General Milly. And he was the one, if you go back to you know, promised and this was covered by the Washington Post. He promised this Chinese counterpart of heads up if the US plan to launch an attack. If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you, he said to his counterpart ahead of time. It's not going to be a surprise. Now that would be a huge scandal in a Trump administration. But the media mob, the Democratic party. They didn't care. They didn't care when he demanded that if there's ever any nuclear launch under Donald Trump, this was in the Woodword book, I believe it would have to go through him. And he pledged, he had these people involved in that command chain pledge allegiance to him. No wonder he needed a preemptive pardon, just like the Biden family syndicate. So what I'm telling telling you is they don't really care about what was an honest, one off mistake. Nobody's not acknowledging that there wasn't a mistake here. Mike Walls took ownership of it. But the outrage from the left over this incident is just a political show, and it's designed to distract the country from their incessant, petulant performance art and never ending in fighting and a battle for the soul of that party, which the left is going to win. They just want to smear Trump and take whatever political scalp they might be able to get out of this. And Republicans now have learned a valuable lesson fight back, and they're fighting back now. This hysteria, I promise you, is going to burn out on its own. They will move on to the next baseless smear. You know they will. You know they if they cared about national security, they would have spoken up about our borders. They would have spoken up about Joe's cognitive decline. They don't give a damn. And for them just using this as a political weapon to bludgeon Donald Trump and to try to hurt him and his national security team, they've already taken ownership of it. It really is just an unfortunate mistake on their part, and I doubt it's one that's going to be repeated. And if it is repeated, then anybody responsible will be held accountable. That would be my prediction. All right, twenty five now till the top of the hour. We expect the President to be speaking. At the top of the hour, I expect that he will address the signal issue. I think he's doing a press conference at the White House. Don't forget our Tesla contest. It's on Hannity dot com. You can register every day, once a day by going to Hannity dot com and entering the word of the day. Today's word of the day would be constitution And you can register once a day every day, As I said, using the word of the day and then on April the eleventh, the contest will end and we will pick a winner, and the winner we'll get to pick the tesla of their choice that I will be buying for one lucky winner, which I'm excited to do. Listen, when it comes to firearms, everyone knows I believe in our Second Amendment. I believe in the right to self defense for you and your family. I urge all of you do your research, always put safety first, you do your training. Sig Sour is the world's leading manufacturer of firearms, optics, ammunition suppressors. It is one of the most respected training facilities in the entire industry. It's called the sig Sour Academy. Now. Sig Sour firearms are proudly made right here in the USA by American workers. Big Sour products are trusted by the US Military, countless law enforcement agencies, millions of Americans, and by our allies around the world. Why because of their un match quality and reliability. For example, their P three twenties are the official side arms of all branches of the US military, and that's currently in use by our forces at home and around the world, all in defense of freedom. You're going to love their firearms and I have the P three to twenty. It's a great firearm. Anyway, go to six hour today. I'm sorry six hour dot com today and find the dealer nearest you as we're going to the break. I just told you, I just saw this. The Trump hating anti deportation judge James Boseburg has now been picked to preside over a lawsuit on the leak signal chat ar plans after a lawsuit was brought by some leftist activist group anyway quote. Government watchdog group American Oversight filed the lawsuit earlier today, alleging that Pete Hegseth and others violated federal records laws by discussing the Houti attack plans in a signal group chat. The contest has been randomly signed to Boseburg, who serves on the US District Court for DC. I hope this now becomes the impetus for Republicans who now stand up and say these district court judges should not have the authority to thwart the Trump agenda. More than any other president, Donald Trump is having the courts attacking them left, right, and sideways, all in an attempt to prevent Trump from implementing the agenda that the American people elected him to implement, and he has the constitutional authority and mandate to do so. But these liberal activist judges keep going. Now, Mike Johnson has threatened to eliminate US district courts after the judges try to hijack Trump's presidency. We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know, we can eliminate the entire district court. We have the power of funding over the courts, and all these other things, Johnson said yesterday. But despite times, desperate times like these call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act. Congress has eliminated courts in the past. In nineteen thirteen, for example, Congress abolished the Commerce Court and its judges were redistributed to the Federal Appeals Court, according to Congress dot gov. In nineteen eighty two, Congress passed legislation abolishing the Article three Court of Claims and the US Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. And the House Judiciary Committee chairman who we had on this week, Jim Jordan, plans to hold a hearing on these district judges next week and he's speaking with GOP appropriators about what he called legislative remedies. We've got money spending appropriations process to help to address some of this without adding further detail. So we'll wait, watch and see what the Republicans and the Congress do. One interesting development I saw today the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the past have been regarded as the most liberal in the US. Although Trump did get to replace one or two judges on that court, delivered an unexpected win for the Trump administration. A three judge panel there blocked a Seattle District court order that aimed to force the Trump administration to restart refugee admissions. I mean, this is what the left is now fighting for. They want to keep trendy Aragua gang members in our country, and now they want to fight for more open borders and stop Donald Trump from securing the borders, which is his constitutional duty. And these appeals, by the way, and justinews dot com at a good article on this, are just piling up for the Supreme Court. So I've got a hope and wonder that when John Roberts said, which was very you know it was it was not even solicited. But when he said, well, that's what appeals courts are for. When Donald when the people were talking about possibly impeaching judges at as a result of this judicial misconduct and judicial activism the Trump administration. This latest legal showdown with Boseburg, which is the chief judge of the Federal District Court of DC over the deportation of Venezuelan gang members, He's the idiot that said, yeah, if they're in the plane, now have them turn the plane around and bring them home. I mean little, you know, does anybody not read Supreme Court precedent, Because there was that nineteen forty eight decision that came out for prior presidents had used the Alien Enemies Act as a means of deporting people from this country and it was upheld by the UF Supreme Court as lawful. And in that decision they were very specific in saying that once a president makes that decision, it is not subject to judicial review. Bill Barr lasting the judges for usurping Donald Trump's national security authority on these deportation flights. He said, there's a pattern whereby the these district court judges are trying to assert the responsibility of the president in the national security arena. He went on to say, the President is absolutely right to be frustrated and concerned about the way the courts are handling this, and he's right. I mean, there's no other way to put it, because the Constitution gives the president the power to make judgments about how we deal with foreign nationals and when we're animated by national security concerns, it's not his call. It's not a district court judges call. It is that simple. Just turn the planes around and then of course it goes to the d C Circuit Court or the DC Appeals Court. Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act. I mean that was the Obama judge, and that happened on Monday this week. It just the madness never ends. I mean, it's a disgusting claim that Nazis got better treatment than deported Venezuelans, most of which were pretty certain have ties to Trende Arragua. Know. Greg Jarrett had a calumn. Today. Trump is now president, but dangerous Lawfair is still raging against him, and he's referring to the Nazi's got better treatment under the Alien Enemy Act than has happened here. I mean, that is Judge Patricia Millet was appointed by Obama and appears to have fully embrace this tactic of the left. Never miss an opportunity to use the word Nazi. You know it used to be. You don't use Nazi analogies, you just don't because of the horror of the Holocaust. That word is thrown around by the left in this country as if it's meaningless. No, it has deep meaning, profound meaning in life. And yet oh, this is Nazi like. Everything's Nazi like, fascist, racist. But anyway, it was not an accident, and probably the disguise potential weakness and or reasoning that members of a violent Venezuelan gang do not have an absolute right to do process had this act had been upheld by the US Supreme Court, and you know, yeah, it's an old law. But again, the last president that I know that used it was Harry Truman, and that's when the Supreme Court case came in. Instead of precedent, I would think that John Roberts, would you know, as Supreme Court Chief Justice, believe in court precedents. They ask every single person that's up for the Supreme Court that question, do you believe in precedents? Yes, they all do. I've given a long list of President Trump over three trillion dollars. Everyone's squeamish about President Trump and his threats of tariffs. Well after meeting the United with President Trump, the United Arab Emirates announced one point four trillion dollars in investments in the US. Trump also plans to sign a one trillion dollar investment deal with Saudi Arabia. That's on top of every other company, Nissan, Honda, the Taiwanese chipcum that's on top of Apple five hundred billion dollars. It is now like probably getting close to four trillion dollars. India is now rethinking their tariffs in light of the April second deadline that President Trump pledged to implement reciprocal tariffs. Our friends in India don't want to be tariffed back. And just like the European Union, just like Canada, you know, our so called friendly nation, they tariff us to death and we just haven't done anything about it. My hope is is that we have free and fair trade. My hope is also that the United States of America does not get taken advantage of by countries that claim to be allies of ours. Donald Trump also signed an executive order requiring people to provide proof of American citizenship when they register to vote, demanding that all ballots be reviewed by election day. That order requires government issued proof of US citizenship on its voter registration forms. That would direct the Attorney General to enter the information share enter into information sharing agreements with state election officials who identify cases of election fraud or other election violations. Why would anybody be against this? Why are Democrats against voter ID signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls, partisan observers watching the vote voting all day and the vote counting all night. Why would anybody be against any of that? By the way, Vice President Vance is headed to Greenland. That's going to be pretty interesting, I think with the way that's going to play out, and the press would characterize it as, oh, the people of Greenland don't want to be pressured. They haven't been treated particularly well by Denmark. And if the president comes in with a better offer, a significantly better offer, why wouldn't the people of Greenland look at that offer? It might make every person and in Greenland rich. I mean they have about fifty four thousand people, They have a lot of natural resources that are not being tapped into. By the way, the National Institutes for Health continues to fund more than a billion dollars in diversity equity inclusion programs, even after the President ordered federal agencies to eliminate them. Wouldn't that be illegal if I did it, or you did it, or anybody listening to mean right now did it. As part of the President's plan to get reckless spending under control, the Social Security now has been spending weeks cleaning out all this bad data that the President mentioned and is Joint Session speech. I mean the fact that you have all these millions of cases where Social Security number holders were over the age of one twenty. We don't know if any of we haven't confirmed that any of them are getting payments or their relatives are getting payments. But you would think for crying out loud. The Trump administration now is moving to freeze tens of millions of dollars in federal family planning grants to certain organizations while they investigate whether the money was used for diversity efforts. According to People, Planned Parenthood affiliates were set to get about one hundred and twenty million dollars this year. Why are we giving money to an organizations who seemingly you know they would take they would dispute this well, why why should taxpayers that don't share the view on being pro choice be funding organizations that are known in large part for being abortion providers. By the way, the Democrat that railed against the domestic terrorism, Democrats who railed against domestic terrorism, why are they silent as Donald Trump is floating a twenty year jail sentence for Tesla vandals and Pam Bondi is saying that they're going to get to the bottom of it, as is cash pattel that is called domestic terrorism. I saw a congresswoman to leave other House Democrats they would not condemn acts of terror on these Tesla dealerships. Why not anyway? To Leeb, who claimed in an ex post that Musk is an unelected billionaire who's dismantling our democracy, on Tuesday, refused to answer a question from The Daily Caller and a reporter about whether or not she condemns these recent acts of vandalism at Tesla dealerships, instead asking him are they paying you well? Because I believe you should be paid a fair wage. What's so hard? I mean? Democrats. All they want to talk about is January six five years later, January sixth. They ignored the summer of twenty twenty five hundred and seventy four riots. Why can't they condemn shooting bullets into Tesla dealerships. Why can't they condemn firebombing Tesla vehicles. Why can't they condemn what's happening at Tesla true charging stations. Why why can't they condemn the assassination threats against Elon Musk? Why is that so hard for them? You know? Why is it that the left there are many radicals on the left. I'm not saying elected democrats, but radicals, leftists. Why have they embraced this Luigi Mangioni guy that assassinated the United Healthcare CEO. Why does the radical left, you know, seemingly embrace the rights of trendy or ragua over your safety? You know, why did the radical lefts a quiet well known terrorists, murderers, rapist cartel members, gang members were allowed into our country? You know? Why is the radical left seemingly okay with the reckless rhetoric of Jasmine Crockett. By the way, it's not working for them. I mean, the last three polls showed twenty a twenty percent approval for Democrats in Congress. They're failing and it's just not working. Sixty four percent of voters back Trump's plan to deport Venezuelan gang members, and Trump did yanks secret Service protection for Biden's open borders are Alejandro majorcas he doesn't deserve it. And the Trump administration moved to and federally subsidized housing for illegal immigrants. The President's moving at the speed of light. All of these things are getting fixed. If he's successful, it will be the most transformational presidency and consequential one in our lifetime. But the left wing Democrats, they are losing their mind. There's a House Republican move to censor Yasmin Crockett. We'll watch that closely, all right, We expect the president in the next hour. We'll monitor that. We'll get to your calls if he's not speaking eight hundred nine four one Sean. If you want to give us a buzz, and don't forget our Tesla giveaway, just go to Hannity dot Com. Today's word of the day.
