Roger Goodell basically said, oh, of course we're gonna honor the flag as an organization, but he's not gonna do anything to stop the players from doing what they're doing. Okay, then the people are gonna be fed up and people are going to continue to walk. Now it's I guess what happened with the Cavaliers last night. They didn't kneel, but they locked arms and and basically they're trying to do the same thing during the anthem and they want to send a message. I did they say what the message was? You know, King James nothing. We didn't hear from him anything. Jason, did you here inequality? Okay? Um? And you know, well, I listen. I'm just saying that if everything in the sports world which unified everybody of all backgrounds, all races, it was a ashion. It was a distraction. It was fun, it was entertainment. Now it's become political. You're gonna get a political result and you're gonna get a divided audience and some of it. If this just continues, it's they're just blowing their whole season in the NFL. Other sports that follow I suspect are gonna see the same results at the NFL, like seeing lower viewership. They're gonna see less revenue, less money. And then at some point I think it'll backfire and then they'll say, well, maybe we should stand and respect those that fault blood and died under the under the flag. All right, so we've got that. We're gonna get to that today. There is So there's a congresswoman named fred Riico Wilson. She wears a cowboy hat and so you can recognize her, and she has been one of the most outspoken vitriolic critics of Donald Trump. So if you believe what happened, um and believe her story, and I guess friends of hers because it's actually a sad story because anyway, you have the mother of an army sergeant was killed in Niger earlier this month. Anyway, and on Wednesday, Democratic Representative Fredrika Wilson gave an account of what President Trump said on the phone following her son's death. I don't know what was said on the phone call. But what they're saying is is that, well, he knew what he signed up for. It made it seem as cold and callous. Maybe those words were used. Maybe it was inarticulate what the President said. Maybe if none of us know. President says it was it was a call to comfort the mother. And now you have a congresswoman out there trying to say that it was something other than that, and and it was insensitive, and he was trying to joke, and he knew what he signed up for. And apparently then the friend of fred we the congresswoman Frederick Wilson. Now they're saying what they're saying and that he you know, well he knew what he signed up for. Now, there's a couple of things here. I I don't doubt anybody in a moment can be inarticulate. That's possible. I don't know what happened in the phone called. The President denies it. President says he has proof. Here's what I do know. You would have to believe that Donald Trump wanted to be mean to a woman who lost her son, and he purposely picked up the phone and tried to insult her and aggravate her and upset her and make her feel bad. Now, there's so many ways you can interpret. I mean, this is what Now, though, if you're on the crazy left, you're gonna believe Donald Trump is evil. He has nothing Donald Trump can do in his life that is right in the minds of Frederica Wilson. And I've got all the sound to prove it. So I'm suspect based on her hatred of Donald Trump. I don't know about the mother. The mother's distraught. Nobody should be even asking the mother questions. But the media is is just wanting to politicize this and turn this into the biggest thing in the history of the country. UM, I can give you some details. For example, General Kelly, and I've had an occasion where I did speak once to General Kelly, and I said to him, I'm so sorry what happened to your son. And I read the story that three days after his son died, General Kelly, of course the White House Chief of Staff. He said he was given a speech. I just asked that you not mentioned my son, because I don't want to single him out to be any different than the fifty other people that have fought and died in the battle in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is a stunning story. Now it has been confirmed that President Obama never made a condolence called to General Kelly, who by the way, was working for Obama as a relationship is a general after his son was killed in Afghanistan seven years ago. And anyways, and you know, Trump said, as far as other presidents, I don't know. You can ask General Kelly, did he get a call from Obama. I don't know what Obama's policy was. But this is what you're gonna have to believe. You're gonna have to believe that Donald Trump purposely called a woman in distress and took time out of his day as president and purposely wanted to insult her. Or you can take it. Now, let's just assume that the words are correct. These guys know what they sign up for. It could also be interpreted these incredible brave men know that there is such danger when they sign up to serve their country. And I would gather and I would guess pretty much everything I have that Donald Trump did not want to insult the mother who lost her son and take time out of his day just to do that. Maybe he was inarticulate. I don't know. He's a pretty articulate guy. Maybe it was just taken the wrong way. Maybe it was just miscommunication. I don't know, but I doubt the president of the United States of America of any party, is gonna ever call a grieving mother to put salt in a wound. And that's how the media in this country is spinning it. And I just don't believe it. I don't believe what you're hearing. And I think the media lies to us all the time. And I suspect if the President said anything like that, If the President in fact said he knew what he signed up for, I think he was probably referring to I'm amazed at the quality of men and women in this country that no, they're risking their lives for their country and their fellow country men, and they do it anyway. There's a way to look at that and say, you know what you're saying, that they are the best of the best, and that they know the danger that they will be facing, and they do it anyway, which is the truth. So now let's go to Frederica Wilson. And this is why I think this is a a a cheap shot at the president. This is my gut, and I refuse to talk about the parents except to say this, My thoughts and my prayers are with his mother and father. My thoughts and prayers are with them. I don't think there's anything worse in life than losing a child. As a parent, they are suffering today. I don't think the news media ought to be calling them. I don't think they ought to be doing interviews. They can do whatever they want, that's up to them. But I think they ought to be left alone. And I think they're suffering enough. And uh, it's sad. And if the President didn't say it the right way, I'm sure he probably would want to do it, you know, want to do over. There are times, I look, there are days words can flow from me, and then days I'm on the air and I'm it just doesn't come out the way you wanted to come out. And that's just the way it is in life, And especially if you're talking every single day to so many different people. I'm sure that the president knew who we was calling. He knew that this was a grieving mother. He knew that she had lost her son. So you'd have to believe he's so mean that he did this to be the meanest human being on earth, or that he could have been in articulate, or he was really calling with the best of intentions. And I believe it's probably I believe it's the latter. That's what I believe. And yet we've got all right, let's talk about Frederica Wilson. I have proof Trump told the widow of the fallen soldier he knew what he signed up for. I know this is the first time that you're hearing the president's tweet read to you. So when he says that you've totally fabricated what he said to the wife of this soldier and he has proof, what's your response, Well, I don't know what kind of proof he could be talking about. I'm not the only person that was in the car. And uh, I have proof to this man is a sick man. Uh, he's cohearted, and he feels no pity or sympathy for anyone. This is a grieving widow, a grieving widow who is six months pregnant. This is a young woman She's only twenty four years old. She weighs maybe a hundred and ten pounds, and she has two other kids, two years old and six years old. And when she actually hung up the phone, she looked at me and said, he didn't even know his name. So now that's the worst part. So Consina, let's talk about that. What did you hear tell us about this phone? All right, let's let's go on. Now, let's take a look at the past of Frederica Wilson. And when she said Donald Trump is on the brink of impeachment, so she doesn't realize that he is on the brink of impeachment and people will begin to call for him to be impeached and the Republicans will have to join in because they need to be on the right side of history. That was May of this year. She's not a Trump fan. She's also somebody that has a history of rushing to judgment, like in the Trayvon Martin case. Mr Speaker, this is Trayvon Martin. Trayvon Martin's murderer is still at large. It's been one month, thirty days with no arrest. I want America to see this sweet young boy who was hunted down like a dog, shot in the street, and his killer is still at large. We went through a case. There was an eye witness in the case that put trayvon Martin on top of George Zimmerman, grounding and pounding his head into pavement, and it was George Zimmerman's scream and a jury found him not guilty. She rushed to judgment. The real enemy, she says, is the Tea Party. She said this in August while we discussed real concerns. Real enemy is and the real enemy is the T So she's got a political agenda and she changed her story slightly. There was a story saying that, well hang on us. At first she was talking about the death of US soldiers in Niger could be trump'spen Ghazi. Here's what she said, do you is it your impression from what you've heard from the Pentagon or just in Congress that on this mission, did these soldiers have the necessary cover From the mission they were on. It doesn't seem as if they had sufficient cover. It doesn't seem they had sufficient vehicles, the appropriate armored cars. It feels it is as if they were outnumbered. It seems as if he was missing for twenty four hours, but his transmitter was still beeping, and it seems as if they could have found him. This might wind up to be Mr Trump's been ghazi. So he needs to investigate this very very closely, because I will be making sure that Congress does that. She also claimed two different versions of this story here in the conversation with his mother. One story said her driver was with her, but in another story, she said her press secretary was with her. Issue changes a story slightly had him say, uh, well, you know this is what he signed I'm sure he knows that this is what he signed up for, but it still hurts. And the fattest part of this he kept referring to the David as your guy. I'm not the only person who had the conversation in the A d uh, my driver, some gentlemens from the army and the driver of them. And then she says it's a press secretary. She's after Puerto Rico. She said that the president was throwing paper towels at the crowd, saying it was terrible and abominable. She went on to say, uh, we have the Trayvon hunted down like a rabid dog and shot in the street and racially profiled. She said President Trump on the brink of impeachment, and many more, many more instances she hates President Trump. She seems to have an agenda, and people are gonna say, well, well, Sean, I don't I don't know what was said or not said, but Sheba wants to believe the worst in the president. And I don't believe that this president. I don't believe any president whatever call a grieving mother her and be as insensitive as she is describing. And I believe we're being told a lie by this congresswoman. And I feel like she is taking advantage for political purposes. And that's sad. And she has a history of rushing to judgment, a history of not telling the truth. That's really sad. Obama could have called General Kelly's son, he didn't even pick up the phone. I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna cast judgments on the Obama about why he did or didn't do it. I'm sure he reached out to other military families, but to say that, well, you knew what he was buying into and therefore he knew he was gonna die. I don't believe that it happened that way, and this congresswoman is trying to make this the biggest issue in the country, and I'm just based on her past statements, I don't see it. Hey, guys, you know how much I love Tommy John's underwear, undershirts and their socks. They are the best yet. You know what, We're getting a lot of feedback from Hannity looks nurs too. And guess what, Tommy John sent me a few testimonials from real Live Sean Hannity Show listeners, so I'm going to share them with you. Dave says, I can't believe I'm saying this, but they have actually changed my life. Mark says, great materials, great fit, a great example of how doing something very basic, very well can make a surprisingly positive impact on the quality of life. And Gary says, my grumpy stepfather actually thanked me for the gift of Tommy John's. That's the first in the forty years I've known him. Louise says, my husband is walking, bending and lifting all day. This is the first pair of underwear that doesn't roll down and write up. He loves them. Now you've heard the reviews, what are you waiting for? You have nothing to lose. With Tommy John. It's the best pair you'll ever wear. It's free guarantee. Just go to Tommy John dot com slash Hannity off your first order Tommy John dot com slash Hannity tent off. Let me just tell you my perspective. Words don't mean as much to me as actions. That's just me. You know, when my son was killed, he was killed in the are just loss of life in the history of naval special warfare. And we had thirty family, thirty families at Dover Air Base waiting for our sons to be our son's bodies to be returned from Afghanistan. And you know what we experienced there was And I'm not just trying to I'm just trying to draw a contrast. I'm not trying to bring up old news. But you know what we experienced there is. The families unanimously asked Barack Obama to not bring any media, to not make this a media event, that he was welcome to be with us, but no media. And you know, he showed up with cameras and the next day our pictures are His picture saluting the caskets of our boys was plastered over every every outlet in America, I guess. And you know, I'm just saying, you know, if you're gonna, if you're gonna just be outraged that one person says something that that could be construed as a flippant remark without a lot of thought put behind it. You know what about the outrage over the things people do? All right? That was the Karen Vaughan, she's the mother of former Navy seal air In Vaughan. She wrote a book it's called World Changed, Her Mother's Story. I can't think anything worse than losing your son. And anyway, Aaron was one of thirty American servicemen who died on board a helicopter. The helicopter was called Extortion seven Team when it was shot down in Afghanistan. That happened back in August, and many who were killed were members of Sealed Team six, the largest loss of military life in a single day when the War on Terror began. What you had heard there was Karen Vaughan explaining that, yeah, the president and they were invited to come. They could come, but they were specifically told not to bring cameras. And Karen Vaughan joins us, Now you all the families that agreed they didn't want cameras there when the bodies came. That's correct or wrong that that's what we were told, sewn absolutely what we were told and promised. Now, did you ever get a call from President Obama? No, for crying out loud, no, we sure didn't. You know, got an invitation to the White House. We've been invited to the White House by Donald Trump. I mean, the difference, the contrast is startling. But no, never a call from President Obama. Well, we're getting more information by the hour. I'm sure that you've heard of this congresswoman Fredrika Wilson, and she's making all these horrible charges. Well, he knew what he signed up for anyway. And I don't believe this congresswoman because this is the same person that has called the president a racist. Uh. This is the person that said if Donald Trump was a student at a school I served as principal and behaved so crudely, he'd be expelled. She said, President Trump just waived the white flag, and he's you know, so many of them. I refused to stand by and let Trump succeed in his assault on working families. A president Trump has nothing to hide. He should do this and that he's on the verge of impeachment, and it goes on and on from there, and she has insulted him the entire time she's president. And now we know that General John Kelly was in the room, that several other people were in the room when the President was having the conversation with this poor mother, who my thought, heart and prayers go out to. And everybody in the media is running wild because a woman that hates the president is spreading this story like wildfire, and nobody seems to want to hear the fact that there are witnesses that are heard from the President's side, several people in the room, including John Kelly, and that nobody heard what Congresswoman Frederica Wilson said. And I just wanted to call you and get your thoughts on it. You know what I can tell you from my experience with this president that he is is compassionate towards families of the fallen. Is any human I've been around in the past six years since Aaron left this earth, he has been unbelievably gracious to the gold Star community. Shawn opened up an entire wing of the White House. I think it's happened more than once. I've been invited once, my daughter in law was invited, My grandchildren were invited by grandchildren literally got to play in the White House theater. I mean, he basically told everybody that we spoke to that night said that, He said, this is their house tonight. They have free access to every single thing in They're in here, and we ditch on. That's the reverence and respect that Donald Trump has for the gold Star community. I just find this astounding that somebody is twisting his words like this to to manufacture a problem out of out of a president who has enough respect and love and passion and come passion for fallen heroes to make a phone call to a family member to tell them how sorry he isn't And you know what, Sean, The thing is is, I don't even care if you said what he said. Do you know President George W. Bush said those very same words to Billy and I when we met with him last fall, and we weren't offended by those words at all. Those were even if you said those words, I'm not I don't know what was said. But even if he said those words, that he knew what he was getting into. But it's still very tragic. Those words have spoken to us full sentence. All all the media is reporting is that, well, he knew what he signed up for, but the sentence goes on. But the sentence, who goes on? But when it happens, they know the risk that but when it happens, it hurts. That doesn't sound offensive to me. I've had admiral say that phrase to me. I've had another president say that phraise to me. I've had dozens of people in leadership make that phrase to me. Sean, that is just a common thing that people say. We all agree that our sons are war fighters. They were heroes, they were warriors, and they did what they were that, they did what they loved doing, and Aaron died doing what he loved doing. So for anyone to say that to me, it's not offensive at all. And like you said, the end of that sentence is that but it's never easy or something to that effect. And we all understand that Donald Trump is no father, he's a husband, he's a good man, and this is a ludicrous issue being dragging his name through the mud over something. This woman has talked about impeaching him, She has called him a racist. This woman rushed to judgment in the in the Trayvon Martin case and used the most cindiary language. He accused him of Puerto Rico of throwing paper towels of people who are suffering. It's horrifying that he's throwing paper towels at them. That Trayvon Martin was hunted down like a rabid dog and shot in the street and racially profiled, Well, that's not what the evidence in that case proved. It's a tragedy. It's I wish it never happened. You know that Donald Trump is on the brink of impeachment. Now, I'm just the young woman that lost her son is twenty four years old, and I think, and I'm not trying to be I'm not trying to be crude or insulting here, but really it's this simple. Mrs Wilson is looking for attention. You can tell that by the kind of hats you put on every day, that the kind of you know this is. She's just a woman looking for attention. And now she says it's sex if you're if she wants the rules changed about the hat um. Karen, we love you, We're You're always in our prayers. As is this mother. I mean, it just is sad. Absolutely, let me go back. I appreciate your time, Thank you for taking your time. As always, we appreciate it. Getting the true doubt is what we like to do on the show. The media won't do it. They're just gonna run with Oh, Frederico Wilson said it. They won't give any context. He hates Donald Trump. Now. They tried to create the same image of President Trump as it relates to Vegas. Remember we went out to Vegas and watched the media like try and push people that met the president that had loved ones that were injured, and I was at the hospital. Hospital loved them, the people that worked there, the families loved him. He went and talked with everybody. They're spent like two hours more than he was supposed to, and that didn't get reported. They tried to portray him as having no empathy. Here's what they did in Vegas. The one in Vegas. Yeah, I know we played it. I't want to play it again. Do you remember when he asked, Yeah, he was ask him like who playing and what we like? He he knew that a lot of people knew. It sounded like fireworks which a lot of people did. And so he was asking what I did where I went? Did he offer you words of comfort? Did he say anything that stands out to you? He said he was amazing. Where was that? Yeah? He was like super nice. He wasn't who we see on social media. He was much more comforting. What did he say that was so comforting? I don't know, kissed her invoice and just the way he was. Yeah. Now, I went there the day after the president was there, and I met many of the same people the President met, and they were ecstatic. Oh, you mean he is empathy cares with all due respect, Barack Obama didn't pick up the phone for General Kelly and Jessica Vaughan story a carrot Maud story rather is even more disturbing. Thomas Gunderson is another case. You know, I just I'm just sick and tired of people that so hate this president. I want to believe something that is almost impossible for any good human soul. Well, he's not good, Hannity. He he used those words on the Bush locker room talk. It doesn't mean he has compassion has children. You don't think he has empathy for a parent that lost their child. This is what the media has been running with all day, all day. This is what because they don't like him, they won't give you the context. Who is Frederica Wilson? What has she said? What's There's not one thing I can think of that she hasn't said about this president for crying out loud. By the way, we've got congressional conservatives now rightly are pushing back against the proposed Obamacare compromise, which would be basically the government funding Obamacare. And because Lamar Alexander and Patty Murray made a stupid deal good for the Congress. I hear Paul Ryan said, no, we're not doing it good for him. By the way, in Great Britain, their version of Obamacare, the Health Services Plan, it bands surgery if you smoke or you're overweight. Okay, there's half of America. We're all overweight a little bit. I know I'm in that category. Ethan, you're in a too so shush up, Jason, maybe not so much. You're not overweight. Stop saying you are. Yeah, because you guys made me take pictures today. You're all full of flattery that I haven't taken pictures in fifteen years, and you finally said it doesn't even look like you anymore, and then made me take some shots some whatever. They I don't even want to talk about it. Oh get this, Samantha Powers. I was so good today. I don't know. I get a hundred today. I was so good. I didn't complain once that I complain one time about taking the photos that you made me take today that I didn't want to. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by complain. Okay, was I not a You were definitely on good behavior. I just okay, I'll do it. And then you said, put your chin down, put your chin down, put you chin down. I'm thinking, why I have five chins, so you want me to put it down and hide it? No? I don't, Thank god, they can. You did so, you said, put your chin down, put your chan look this way, fold your arms, move your head to the side, move it up down sideways. This that sound nice? You looked in those pictures. Oh my gosh. I did not complain. I just I sucked it up. And everyone said that you were a rock star in your photo shoot. Everyone. Samantha Powers is now claiming that others used her name to unmask Trump officials. You have one prominent attorney now is moving to have James comey this part. I mean, I just I can't believe I have to spend all of this time on this whole thing. I'd rather be raising money for the for the this poor woman that lost her husband and has a child on the way, I'd rather raise money for them. If there's a place that we can go that I can donate money to our I want to donate some money to her instead of the media doing all of that. And then, by the way, I'll challenge everyone else in the media. They're all rich, spoiled brats. I'll offer I'll start a fund. I want everybody in the media, let's all give them ten tho dollars to the to the wife of this poor guy. They can afford it. Let's see how many CNN and MSNBC people come up. That's it's all put in ten grand each and and for that child and for that for that poor woman, instead of trying what do you think was he what did they say it the wrong way? Did he say it the wrong way? You know it doesn't have any compassion. And I love these people in the media. You know, you get to go up to people that just lost their loved ones or just had their everything they own wrecked, And in the moments after, they don't care if they're crying or anything. They're just like, oh, how do you feel? Why do you think I feel? You, jackass? I feel great. My house just got destroyed. They never offer money to help them out. What do they do? I'm just sick of it. So I want to see these spoiled brats in the media, you know, CBS, NBC, ABC, every news anchor, Matt Lower, everybody, give ten grant. They can all afford it. Or if you really want to be generous, we can go up to fourteen grand tax free and give fourteen grand tax free to this this poor woman who lost her husband. And I'm giving the first fourteen grand. All right, Linda, You'll figure out how to send the money to her. And I'd like to see other people in the media do it. By the way, Mueller is accused of covering up we have so much on this news story. Well wait, do you hear the next hour of this program, because we've got part two of the story we broke yesterday. We told you all about the bribery and the extortion and the kickbacks and the money laundering and the uranium one deal and how the FBI had all this evidence and guess what they let the deal go through anyway they let it go through. Well, now we find out that the FBI had an informant, and the FBI informant wanted to tell Congress about the Russian nuclear corruption case and he was forbidden from doing so. I can't even believe how corrupt this country is. One Shawn is a toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program, you know, I'm gonna tell you something. The media in this country makes me nauseous. They're just they're sickening. And all those I don't mind that you hate Donald Trump, go ahead, I hate him all you want. But you know, now we're gonna say is no empathy and you're gonna take a lot. Maybe it was in articulate at the worst, but every witness that heard him says, no Obama never called John Kelly after General Kelly after his son died. And we just heard from Mrs Mrs Vaughan, Aaron Vaughn's mother. She didn't want cameras when her son's body came back, but they were there, you know, photo shoot, photo opportunity. You're not gonna believe today's development of the story we were following yesterday. You know that little old story about bribery, kickbacks, extortion, money laundering for the uranium one deal. Well, now we find out that, in fact, the FBI informant that knew all about it, just like the FBI and the Eric Holder Justice Department, was blocked from telling Congress about the case of Russian nuclear corruption. You talk about a cover up, We've got the details. What are you doing to find out how the Ratian takeover of the American uranium was allowed to occur despite criminal conduct by the Ratian company that the Obama administration had proved to make the purchase. Mr Chairman, Uh, we will hear your concerns. The Department of Justice will take such actions as is appropriate. I know, and I would would offer that some people have gone to jail in that transaction already. But the article talks about other issues, So without confirming or denying the existence of any particular investigation, I would say, I hear your concerns, and they will be reviewed. I think I know why you're probably reluctant to go into some detail on that. But I would like to remind you that Deputy Attorney Rosenstein directly supervised the criminal case when he was U S attorney in Maryland. I don't think it would be proper for him to supervise a review of his own conduct, do you? It would be his decision. He's a man of integrity and ability. If he feels that he has a UH inability to proceed with any in this investigation, it would be his responsibility to make that determination and should consult as I told you I would, and as I have done with the senior ethics people at the Department. Reports suggest that the Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars from interested parties in the transaction. UH. Bill Clinton received five hundred thousand for a speech in Moscow June from the Ratian government a line bank. The same month as a speech, Ratia Gate began the uranium acquisition process. This fact pattern raises serious concerns about improper political influence by the Clintons during the Obama administration. Has the Justice Department fully investigated whether the Rasians compromised the Obama administration's decisions to smooth a weight for transactions, and if not, why not? Mr. Chairman, We're working hard to maintain discipline in the department. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment on any ongoing investigation, all right. That was earlier today during a hearing with Senator Grassley and the Attorney General of the United States, Attorney General Sessions. Now, he was being grilled over the story that we went into great detail yesterday that was broken by Circa dot Com Sarah Carter and the Hills John Solomon. And that's the story basically about the FBI had all this evidence, documents, emails, financial records, I witnesses proving that Vladimir Putin and Russia Moscow was using bribery, kickbacks, extortion, money laundering all to influence and secure the uranium one deal, and that millions of millions benefited Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. This is now the trail that we had been waiting for that proves corruption in this case. And the Attorney General he hit it from everybody. And on top of that, they all knew before they signed off on giving of America's uranium to Vladimir Putin and Russia, which makes no sense whats whatsoever except it's one of the dumbest things that could ever happen and likely illegal. Well, now we have a new development today, and it's really simple. There was an FBI informant that knew all of this information. This FBI informant wanted to Congress about the Russian nuclear corruption case. An American businessman who worked for years undercover for the FBI confidential witness was literally blocked by the Obama Justice Department from telling Congress, which is what they're supposed to do, about the conversations, transactions, the things that he witnessed as it relates to this Russian nuclear industry effort to win over favor from Bill and Hillary Clinton and influenced the administration's decisions, which they successfully did anyway. From Circuit dot Com, Sarah Carter is back with us. Also, legal analyst Greg Jared has now written to outstanding columns UH summing all of this up as it relates to the legal aspects of all of this. Uh, Sarah, why don't we start with the details and we'll go to Greg for the legal side of this. UH. Explain exactly where we are and what the how profound this is. These developments are very fern Shawn, you know, I can tell you that when uh, the informant came to through his attorney, UH, right at the beginning, he had seen actual sum me on your show on Fox and was desperate to tell his story. There's some circumstances in ad life that are pushing him in that direction. Uh. And now we can see that after this story came out. But there is a new push on the Hill right now with Senator grass Lee to investigate this. And I think this is very important. And the fact that Attorney General Session couldn't talk either way, that's that's how it goes, you know, whether or not there was an ongoing investigation right now into this is also highly significant. And I think it tells us that they're taking this seriously, that they're going to be looking into this. When the Shippius Board approved in October of that year, in two thousand ten, to allow these Russian entities to purchase US uranium supply, d fb I had already for fifteen months been investigating this, and they were investigating the Starns because the informant for the FBI when he went to take on that contract with the Russians and found out that they wanted him to launderer money to launderer money to buy access in the United States. He went straight to the Justice Department department and said, this is my duty as an American, my duty as an American to tell you this is what I'm being asked to do. And then he decided to stay and do this, do this investigation with the FBI because they asked him to, and he was providing all of that information to the Justice Department. He was providing everything, much more, much more than we have already reported, by the way, some things which he considers classified and does not want to discuss with anyone, especially with reporters. He would like to talk to someone in the Justice Department. But right now he was threatened. He was threatened under the Justice Department at that point. Um he was under Eric Holder when he originally started this, and then it went to Loretta Lige and then was threatened with his liberty, which means jail time or his reputation would be destroyed. And I've seen the documents myself, and I've talked to him about this personally with his attorney. If he said anything, but now this is no old bars. He wants to come out, He wants to talk to someone. He's hoping that somebody was in the Justice Department will lift his NDA, which is his nondisclosure agreement with the FBI, which by the way, the FBI won't give him a copy of. So basically, what we're learning here is they knew all about ribery, they knew all about kickbacks, they knew all about extortion, they knew all about money laundering. They knew all about Vladimir Putin's efforts to get into our our our nuclear our nuclear arsenal, basically through uranium because it's the foundational materials for that. They've FBI had all of this evidence. You have this whistleblower that wants to tell the truth, but they hide the truth and then they end up giving Putin everything he wanted. Is that I can I sum it up that way? Is that what really happened? You can definitely sum it up that way. And we well, the answer thought both the Senate, as a reporter wants to know, I'm sure the Justice Department is looking into now is what did the SITHIUST members know? Now, According to the people I've spoken rich very high level of former officials with the FBI that were very well aware of what needed to be done. During that cythiust process, they were required each entity, each of the third key entities of government, to do their own investigations to reveal everything that they knew about these companies before the purchase went through. So, according to the people I've spoken with, those and that information should have been delivered. It should have been delivered by then in Maryland, UH the Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, and then UH Andrew McCabe who was working in the cage as the head of the Washington FBI Field Office. This is really should have all been delivered, and there was so much more information because this inform it gave information. And apparently, and this is what I was told through his attorney, that his FBI handlers delivered the information directly to the White House, that he actually made President Obama's White House briefings a number of times. Can you explain those from the legal side. You've written great columns, Greg, I don't want to sum it up for you because you've done all the work, and explain those for everybody, well as for Hillary Clinton. If the evidence is as reported and great reporting by Sarah and John Solomon at the Hill, but if it is as reported, and there are these documents, then it would constitute pay to play, which is there are all kinds of anti corruption statutes, bribery fraud, wire fraud, and so forth. But as I pointed out a year ago, it looks like she has committed violations of rocketeering, which is using a business for a corrupt and illegal enterprise. That business is her charity, and so it seems to me there should be a new special prosecutor to investigate that. As for Muller, Come and Rosenstein, all three of them were privy to this information over all these long years. They never told Congress about it, They didn't stop the iranium deal with the Russians, and Mueller, Komi, and Rosenstein are all involved now in the investigation of Trump. So it looks like they covered up Hillary Russia collusion and now we're determined to bring down Trump for alleged Trump Russian collusion. I mean, you can't make this up. Shut alright. So I'm trying to understand does this now is there a prime of facial case here to build against Hillary and the Clint and the Clinton Foundation that shows that it's a quid pro quote, that it's a kickback, that they had knowledge that all of this was going on, and did they put national security at risk knowingly? Listen, when you're selling an enormous of idal asset like uranium to Russians, who are for the most part our enemy, um, yes, you are jeopardizing national security. And Eric Holder, who sat on the committee that unanimously approved this, presided over by Hillary Clinton, he knew of all of the bribery and money laundring UH and kickbacks associated with is. He had the evidence. He was, you know, the attorney general overseeing it all, and apparently he kept quiet about it, and he participated in the approval of this sale. It's absolutely unconscionable, and yes, I think it's knowingly and deliberately selling out America's national security to the Russians. I can't even believe the level of corruption here Legally. What needs to happen next? I don't get back to Sarah Well, I would say two things. First of all, Congress needs to question Holder, Muller, Comey and Rosenstein. Comy, or rather Muller and Rosenstein should either be fired or recuse themselves, and a new UH special prosecutor should take over to investigate the Trump collusion. There's no evidence after you know, a year or more, that there was any collusion. And the second thing should happen. And Congress has already demanded this a second special prosecutor, and Jeff Sessions needs to get off his duff and he needs to appoint a second special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton. And and by the way, while you're at it, don't just investigate corruption within our foundation, but the email scandal as well, because there is more than enough evidence to bring charges under the Espionage Act. Last word, Sarah, where are we going next? I think we just keep digging and we look at the evidence as we see it. Um, do you think the money when we talk about money laundering, is there any chance the money came from Russia to the foundation of the Clinton's I believe, based on the evidence that I've seen and the sources that I've talked to, that there is a significant amount of evidence sean to show that that was definitely a possibility. And I can tell you, and I'm telling you in a roundabout way because I think it's going to be up to the sources, It's going to be up to the to the Justice Department, and to the Senate to talk to the right people. We see this evidence on its face. We have the lawyer for this, this witness that wanted to tell Congress tonight that if we lift the n DA, the world can know the truth. We're gonna blow this wide open tonight. We'll see you then and we'll have more. We'll have an update on this story tomorrow because nobody else in the media is covering it because they just suck. They just are so lazy, it's disgusting. And they're trying to literally use a crazy congresswoman as a means of hurting the president. That's absolutely vicious and vile and a new low for them if it's even possible and real Russia collusion. Hey, all of us here in the Hannity Show, sweet baby, James, and and Linda, and Lauren, and and Ethan and Jason. Jason is very angry today. What do you mean as you're in a bad mood today? What did I do? Do I do something? What do I You don't look happy today? What's the matter? Do I ever look happy? That's actually a good point. No, you're great at your job and you're focused on your job, but just you're looking at me with Daggers today. All right, So we got a story. We're gonna it came with our buddy Dr Josh Umberg. When we get back. As it relates to, congressional leaders came up with a bipartisan deal. Yeah, they want to extend Obamacare subsidies. Now, thank god we have congressional conservatives. Uh, that's only justifying what is wrong with what happened in terms of Obamacare. We're not going along with it, even the President at the Heritage Foundations and no, that's not the right Now, that's not the right idea. Uh, you can't bail out insurance companies as a means of not keeping your promise to repeal and replace Obamacare. Also tell you the benefits of the executive order that the President signed, of course, that allows individuals to form associations as like corporations have been able to do since nine four. And that means you have purchasing powers of big groups, buying across state lines, buying into cooperatives like Dr Numbers, or even setting up your own health savings accounts, and getting catastrophic care. All right, So we'll get to all of that when we get back. And then at the top of the hour, We're gonna talk to Dylan Howard. We have the latest on how Hollywood knew everything, the media knew everything as it relates to Harvey Weinstein and others. And then well, I'm gonna talk to my friends that helped create this movie that is out in nine days. Let there be light. It's all coming up this edition Sean Hannity Show. Shawn is our number here in America. We are strengthening our own freedom by appointing judges to the bench who will support and defend the Constitution of the United States. With your help, we have not only nominated, but confirmed the new Supreme Court Justice who is doing a spectacular job, Neil Gorsuch. We have taken action to repeal the e P A so called Clean Power Plan, and we have ended, finally the war on clean Beautiful call people going back to work. They're going back to work. Over the last nine months, we have removed job killing regulations at a record pace. In fact, in nine months, we have done more, they say, than any president in history. And when nine months and there's more to come. We have statutory guidelines we have to go by a period of time, but there's much more to come. And I believe in regulation, but it has to be limited to what we need. We want clean water, we want clean air. It has to be fair. We also want, by the way, jobs to restore opportunity and freedom. We must continue our campaign to repeal and replace the disaster known as Obamacare. And I've been hearing that phrase for seven years. Seven years. I've been hearing it, so have you. And I got here and I thought, maybe when I sit down at that desk the first day January, I'll have something to sign. Not as easy as we thought, but we're going to get it done. You watch, and I'm pleased the Democrats have finally responded to my call for them to take responsibility for their Obamacare disaster and work with Republicans to provide much needed relief to the American people. While I commend the bipartisan work done by Senators Alexander and Murray, and I do commend it, I continued to believe Congress must find a solution to the Obamacare mess instead of providing bailouts to insurance companies. Well, we'll see, we'll see the bipartisan We're going to see the bipartisan and Lamar Alexander's working on it very hard from our side, and if something can happen, that's fine. But I won't do anything to enrich the insurance companies because right now the insurance companies are being enriched. They've been enriched by Obamacare like nothing anybody's ever seen before. I am not going to do anything to enrich the insurance companies. Now in the House, we've been extraordinarily productive. We've passed our agenda, we passed all of our appropriation bills. I had to schedule this year for the first time a Republican majority since two thousand four. So the House. You believe the House is tainted by the inaction in the healthcare is perfect example. We passed our repeal and replaced healthcare bill in May. How frustrating was it was John McCain who promised a hundred times to repealing up because I'm frustrated. We're the ones who passed it. We're the ones who said we would do this and then to see it passed, said it was by the way, it wasn't easy. No, it wasn't easy, but it's extremely frustrating. This a few moments, I will sign an executive order taking the first steps to providing millions of America with Obamacare relief. It directs the Department of Health and Human Services, the Treasury, and the Department of Labor to take action to increase competition, increased choice, and increase access to lower priced, high quality healthcare options. And they will have so many options. This will cost the United States Government virtually nothing, and people will have great, great healthcare. And when I say people, I mean by the millions and millions. First, we aim to allow more small businesses to form associations to buy affordable and competitive health insurance. This would open up additional options for employers to purchase the health plans their workers want. I'm also directing Secretary Accosted to consider ways to expand these associations and these healthcare plans all across state lines. This will create tremendous competition and transformative in so many ways. Change aimed at creating more and lower prices for millions of Americans, but the competition will be staggering. Insurance companies will be fighting to get every single person signed up alright till the top of the hour. New urgency since the President when I had on his own executive orders, allowing now individuals to create associations where they like corporations able to buy across state lines. Uh. For example, let's say you work in the in the restaurant industry and you want to have a restaurant association. Okay, that means anybody that works in the restaurant business from all fifty Stage could buy to, could join together form an association, have the purchasing power of as many people as they put in their association. And then all of the burdens of state laws and mandates of whatever state you happen to be in, and all the burdens of a c A or Obamacare would be taken away, and the subsidies for Obamacare from the federal government also go away, so it doesn't cost the taxpayers a penny. Now, with that said, then you have, of course Congress feeling a sense of urgency. Oh, Donald Trump is gonna really give us a free market solution. So you had a compromise being offered and negotiated between Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Patty Murray of Washington, a big liberal and authorizing payments for two years in exchange for granting the STAGE greater flexibility to regulate health coverage under the a c A. But we don't need them for this in any way shape matter reform. That's the whole point. And Paul Ryan just earlier today put an end to it and in terms of the last ditch effort, and apparently the House is not happy with it because that means that they would be tacitly approving Obamacare and as subsidies, which I agree with Paul Ryan on in this case. Anyway, here to discuss it, Dr josh Umber, I mean he ought to be charging us now to be on the program. And also Michigan State Senator Patrick Kulbeck is with us. He is the original supporter of the Atlas direct care model, and we've been pushing on this program for however many years we've had you on. Dr Umber. You're like my favorite doctor that I never met except once. Um and I'm just thinking, all right. So Trump was able to find a way to use his executive authority to do what Congress wouldn't do, and that is give individuals that want to form associations the purchasing power ability to buy across state lines, not be subject to the mandates of the a c A, not subject to state mandates, and they could be doing what corporations have been doing since nineteen seventy four, which would be great for your business, great for the health care industry alone, and even great for the insurance industry because they get all these customers. Well, you said it absolutely, UM, and I find it, uh unbelievably frustrating that as soon as Trump decides to move forward and do something beneficial, that only after that are they able to come up with a bipartisan plan that then reinstates the the giant checks back to the insurance companies UM, not to help the citizens, not to help people, not to advance healthcare UM, but to reinstate UM checks back for bailouts. All right now, Michigan State Senator Patrick Kolbeck, you you're the original supporter of what Dr Josh Umber is actually doing, and that is, you know, he has his own cooperative, which is basically concierge care for anybody. It's fifty dollars a month for adults, ten dollars a month for kids. It's all the care you want. It's twenty four hour, seven three healthcare doctor availability, and everything is included in the fifty bucks a month except for maybe whatever medicine you need, but he negotiates directly with the pharmaceutical companies, so that's at a discount, and most of the care that people need on a day to day basis, well that's going to be taking care. UM. Yeah, why aren't more people and more state supporting this good question. There's a lot of other pressures when you get into a legislative environment from different lobbyists that don't benefit from this arrangement. Because the one ingredient that you uh that was not listed in that list of ingredients you provided was government insurance regulation and it wasn't UM and it wasn't any of the private insurers as well. It gets back to that free market principle of getting the third parties out of the equation and focusing on the relationship between the doctor and the patient. And let's just say a lot of those other entities like private insurers and the government wants to get back in between that relationship and DOC or DOCM. There's found a way to keep them out of the relationship, and we're happy to promote that here in the State of Michigan because the cost stating from that approach, I'm doing a direct primary care based Medicaid pilot here in the state of Michigan. So if we pop back up to the bigger picture where all our healthcare costs are nationally, UM, Michigan spent eighteen billion dollars on Medicaid every single year. With this direct primary care based delivery system, we could say this as the Michigan about three point six billion dollars every single year by adopting this approach and that people get better care. It's not by rationing the care. Well. I mean, this to me would be the perfect answer, you know, just like health care savings accounts. To me is another great idea. We've had people like Dr Umber on this program for years. How many times now have you been to Washington to talk about healthcare? Doctor number several times? And then I even had a senator called this morning, well just recently, former senator now working for a think tank to um take this and maybe you try to move the dial on this conversation. So it's it just continues to grow. Why why would Lamar Alexander support the idea of funding Obamacare because that's basically what he's He's he's gearing up to do with Patty Murray. I think because they honestly, they don't know. They haven't heard about direct primary care despite as much attention as it gets, you know, from being nice, I think it's hard to get good ideas into the bubble that is DC. If being more critical, I think they have perverse incentives to support the uh, the insurance companies right now, and and that's a bigger threat. UH. And everybody's waiting to see kind of how this, uh, this goes off the cliff here with the open enrollment starting next month. Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable to me. I gotta tell you. All right, So explain how many other practices have you helped or at least maybe given some guidance to that are up and running around the country. We've helped over three fifty the doctors in just the last two or three years open these kind of practices. There's probably between five hundred and a thousand doing this model. UM. I know there's thousands of patients that want it, because our phones ring off the hook after every time you talk about it. UM. And then there was just a big conference put on by patient Doctors for Patient Care and Wonderful organization just last weekend Orlando over three doctors showed up to learn how to open their own direct care model. So this continues to get momentum. So in other words, you're are you actually like doing ceremony a ceremony seminars for for doctors to teach them how to do this. Yeah, well, we have all of our material online for free for doctors to you know, just download the starter kit. Would it work in a big city like say New York, Oh, absolutely, have it in urban areas. We have it in um Buena Vista, Colorado is a town and they have two doctors like this, so it can work from um the high to the low. Now, the Soviet Republic that is New York doesn't allow doctors to dispense wholeso meds or to get the discounted labs, but there's still a lot. Why why are you mocking my home state? Oh, let me count the waves now listen, I'm I'm telling you right now, like for example, that I'll have a reduction in taxes, but when they get rid of the deduction of state and local taxes on your federal income tax, I'll have a much lower rate, but I'll be paying more money. And you know why, because I have such stupid neighbors that put in stupid politicians in New York. That's the only reason why. Yep, exactly, um, And so they're driving up the cost of care, but yet patients still respond to the rest of the value. Small businesses still need this. Like you mentioned earlier, the risks A plan that allows small businesses to shop over state lines. We've had that and the direct care model has been using that for years. Have long said we have our magic one scenario of a solution, but only for small businesses right now. So the more that Trump can do to empower and and and strengthen those Ariska type plans, the more everybody benefits. Well, I gotta tell you, I hope you can get this done, and I hope there are more state senators and assemblymen and legislators that will follow your model. State Senator Patrick colbeck is whether it's from Michigan and Dr Number I think at some point you're gonna have to start charging me fifty bucks a month just just for the consultations we get from you. By the way, good luck in your race, Patrick, I hope, I hope you win. You have a full complete endorsement, but only if it helps you. If it hurts you, I'm against you whatever you want. That's what I tell all my friends and me on this political journey journey Sean, I was at a young engineer out in hunts Ll, Alabama, listening to you. My God, So this is my fault that you got into politics? What did I do wrong in my life? Well, it's not your fault that I lost committees recently for fighting Obamacare. But no, I really appreciate everything you've done to get some conservative swamp drainers out there, and that's exactly what we're gonna do in Michigan. We'll do me a favorite. Get to Washington, will you, because I know you can do a lot in the state, but you can do more damage in Washington. We need you in the Freedom Caucus. Hey, we've helped up a lot of states promoting this direct primary care policy at JASS with other legislators, and and if we continue on that track, I mean, if you're a governor, I like to stay to Michigan, where there's gonna be a lot of eyeball on the next presidential election. You can shape a lot of policy discussions, and if you want to help me shape it, please go to principal solutions for Michigan dot Com and there's a lot we can do. And um, I appreciate you getting the word out because Josh is one of those selfless servants that's trying to make it better for everybody. There's no financial interests, there's for him to go off and do this. He's the first guy to pick up the phone and advise legislators, advised doctors on how to make this happen. And it's going to make a difference in a lot of people's life. Alright, guys, thank you both for being with us. We appreciate it. Got to take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll continue one. Shaun is on number I can tell you that the number one problem in Hollywood was, and is and always will be pedophilia. That's the biggest problem for children in this industry. The casting couch even applies to children. Oh yeah, not in the same way. It's all done under the radar. Nobody talks about pedophilia. It's the big secret and it's widespread. Oh yeah. I was surrounded by them when I was fourteen years old, surrounded literally didn't even know it. It wasn't until I was old enough to realize what they were and what they wanted and what they were about in the types of people that were surrounding me until I went, oh my god, they were everywhere like vultures. There's one person to blame in the death of Corey Ham, and that person happens to be a Hollywood mogul, and that person needs to be exposed. But unfortunately I can't be the one to do it. But the person that knows who did it and knows who he is is watching right now. I guarantee you, yeah, intriguing. There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around this group of kids, and they all had either their own power or connections to great power in the entertainment industry. You know, there's a lot of good people in this industry, but there's also a lot of really, really sick, corrupt people in this industry. And there are people in this industry who have gotten away with it for so long that they feel they're above the law, and that's got to change. That's gotta stop. I'm saying that there are people that were the people that did this to both me and Corey that are still working. They're still out there and there's some of the richest, most powerful people in this business, and they do not want me saying what I'm saying right now. Are you saying that there pedophiles. Yes, that's what and that's what you're saying in your book when you talk to when you talk to parents here right now. There there are a lot of parents out here who want to put their kids in this in this business. Their kids are cute, they're great actors. To do that. What would you say to a parent who just has the best of intentions, who's coming here with their child. You're saying that there's a lot of predators in this industry. It's a many feathered bird. Okay, be careful what you wish for. That's what I'll tell you, you you know, don't go into it with naivety. Don't go into it thinking that it's all roses and sunglasses industry. I'm trying to say that. I'm just trying to say that it's a very important, serious topic, all right. That was from an interview that was a series of interviews going back many years. That was Corey Feldman, child actor, child star, revealing even to the police that he had been molested more than two decades ago, but they did nothing to investigate the sexual predator who had systematically raped this guy and joining us to discuss news round up information overload. By the way, eight nine for one, Shawn is our toe free number. Is Dylan Howard, who is the chief content officer when he's president for am I, the parent company of the National Enquirer. He published a story for Radar Online in detailing the child sex abuse of actor Corey Feldman, and his report detailed that many many knew, as I've been saying, a lot of people knew all about this, about the attacks on children and ongoing pedophilia in the industry in Hollywood. This is on top of the casting couch scenario that we've been laying out for everybody in the in recent days. Uh, Dylan, it's good to have you back. How are you, sir? Very well? Thank you. Um. I hear all of this, and I hear Corey's interview and he's like pleading for help, and nobody paid attention. Well, not only did the industry not pay attention, Sean. In fact, police did not pay attention to what Corey Feldman had suggested that he was sexually molested along with his close friend Corey Hayne. At one particular point, as part of my ongoing investigations into this particular case, I obtained audio recorded in three while Santa Barbara Sheriff's detectives were interviewing Corey Feldman about allegations that Michael Jackson had abused boys. Now, let me say Corey Feldman said that Michael Jackson did nothing improper with him. But at this particular interview, Corey Feldman named names. He said, I know what it's like to go through those feelings and believe me the person who molested me. If this was him that did that to me, this would be a different story. This is what he told two detectives. Despite that, though, the conspiracy of silence remained, and this superstar sicko was never brought to justice and still to this very day remains working in the industry. Unbelievable, and we know who these people are and they're still doing it right. Well, that's the frightening thing. And in fact, many people have asked me on social media why I won't particularly name this individual. The reality is this particular individual, when confronted with these allegations, has threatened to sue a doomsday scenario and says that indeed he will sue regardless of whether or not the story is true or not. Corey Feldman says that he too is in the same circumstance. But the reality here is that California police can file a charge of aggravated rape one that involves either a weapon, more than one person, or seriously injures the victim at any time, with no statute of limitations. Other cases are somewhat problematic. Normal sexual assault as it's classified in California has a statute of limitations for six years, which is a roadblock that many people encountered with Bill Cosby's alleged victims. So Corey Feldman really is not in a position to come forward and name this person for fear of the legal repercussions and the fear that the legal and justice system won't stand behind him and take a hardline approach to this particular individual. You have heard about the casting couch stories as now Harvey Weinstein is. It's just the the opening of Pandora's box here. Um, I think it's the tip of the iceberg. I think this is now gonna We're gonna have revelations coming out for a long time. How long have you heard about this and known about this about No, not about Harvey Weinstein. I mean, look, the reality was that there were the whispering campaign about individuals in Hollywood has been going on for some time. That said, it's been very difficult for many to publish because of the sheer weight of the power of those in the industry and what they threatened to do. If you're about to expose them, you will remember, of course, we at the National Enquirer exposed that Charlie Sheen had contracted HIV and was continuing to have unprotected sex with people. It took three years before we were able to publish that expose a under the threat of serious litigation. So many individuals in Hollywood moguls have used their power, used their money in attempt to silence the Fourth Estate from exposing these two. Pray that antics. But what I must say is to you, Sean, is that over the last couple of weeks, since The New York Times published its explosive story into Harvey Weinstein, that there has been a ground swell of support to expose these types of individuals. Already, in the wake of this, we have seen that a top executive at Amazon Studios, Roy Price signed if you like, and I say resigned in inverted quotations after a supposedly incident, A supposed incident, I should say, on the Man in the High Castle, which he was a producer of for Amazon. And we're starting to see that many other people are coming forward and bravely telling their stories. In many ways, it could well be a cleansing of the Hollywood industry. But at this at this particular point, I must say it's dog eat doc. I'm talking to individuals behind the scenes, many whom are lawyering up at this point for fear that they are going to be the next target of a wide ranging investigation. They don't moguls that fear it let me. So you think that this is going to spread and spread like wildfire, no doubt, no doubt. I continue to investigate another particular story, Sean about two movie moguls who settled a case with a woman who made allegations that she was used by these moving ogals almost tantamount to a sex slave. And as part of that settlement, this woman was offered multiple roles in multiple different films in order to secure or by her silence, It's a story that I continued to investigate I have do you have documents on you ever find instances where people make false charges against famous people because they know it's a quick way to make a buck. And then people are likely to settle because the cost of litigating is too much, and so on and so forth. Indeed it is, and let's face it, the reality of that situation was all too common. For Brian Singer, who of course is the famous director behind the X Men franchise, who was accused as sexually assaulting an individual, and that individual later recanted his claims um and said that he wasn't that that that that Brian Singer had not assaulted him. So all too often we have seen many allegations come forward only not to materialize. But one thing I can say with certainty, the situation around Corey Feldman and Corey Haim ultimately led to the death of Corey Haim. Here's somebody who uh died of a drug overdose because his life is tormented and haunted by what happened to him as a young teenager. The reality is, yeah, all of silence needs to come down. When the whole Michael Jackson thing happened. And I know Corey said that that Michael Jackson did not molest him. But there was this tape, this interview that Michael Jackson had done prior to his case, and I want to play it for you and get your thoughts on it, because to me, it was really weird and creepy, just creepy. Listen when you see that, and then we'll get your sexual They make that sexual. It's not sexual. We're going to sleep. I tucked them in. We put I put a little music on, into a little story to I read a book. It's very sweet. Put the fireplace on, give him hot milk. You know, we have the cookies. He's very charming, very sweet. Sure, what the whole world should do? What's wrong with sharing a love? You don't sleep with your kids or some other kids? Who needs a love? Talking about hot cooco milk, music, a fire and put it sleeping with other people's children. It was the most bizarre, creepy thing in the world. I heard your thoughts. I mean, what do you say to that? I think anybody in their right mind would suggest that. Uh, that interview explained Michael Jackson. He may not have been convicted of child molestation, but certainly his closeness to children was worrisome to so many. The allegations against Michael Jackson were stacked. Uh. He most certainly was the subject of lurid claims by many many individuals. However, he escaped justice, if you like. He avoided being convicted of any criminal activity and avoided a lot of civil litigation at the same time. But I don't think anybody if you're a young parent out there listening to this show right now, and you subjected your child to what Michael Jackson just described that he enjoyed doing, then I don't think he would be a red blooded parent, because that's frightening to think that Michael Jackson viewed that as some form of love. All right, stay right there, We'll have a few more moments, closing moments with Dylan Howard. He is the chief content Officer vice president for a m I, which is the parent company for the National Enquirer. Look, break right back, we'll continue. I can tell you that the number one problem in Hollywood was, and is and always will be pedophilia. There was a circle of older men, and they all had either their own power or connections to great power that surrounded themselves around this group of kids, and it's widespread. Oh yeah. I was twelve years old and my publicist, he um, basically talked me into doing things that I didn't really want to do. I was hading had sex before, and he kind of convinced me that this was the right thing to do and kind of told me like, don't tell your parents, you know, and bought me a bicycle. He always kept doing things for me. He seduced me, and he started at eleven years old to twelve. We have to make people realize that children need to be safe on these sets, and they're not safe because parents want their kids to be in show business so bad that they wanted to do anything, and they'll send them off with strange people. You know, time that you just shouldn't do. When when a child was molested. For me, I can't speak for every other child, but when I was molested, it made me feel shane degradation. Uh, made me feel less than average. I mean, I spent from from twelve and thirteen years old trying to figure out whether I was homosexual. And I didn't know because because I liked the feeling, but I didn't know that that was wrong. You know. He was like, did you ever see an old man's piece before? And I was like, whoa, that's kind of odd. And I didn't want to be disrespectful and just get out of the car and I told him no, I never saw an old man's piece before. And you know, we got out and you were walking. We got to a park and there was a train. He pushed me to the tree and I was like, oh, show you what is and the director asked me to sit with my legs apart. The camera was positioned where it could see up my skirt to put my leg over arm of the of the chair. And before I started my dialogue, think about the character that I was supposed to be having the dialogue with and how it felt to be made love to by this person. And I was thinking, this is so strange. Why would I need to do that? But this is the director he is talking, you know, this is as there's the casting directors. There must be normal, it must be normal. There's I'm eighteen years old, you know, and I'm thinking, this is obviously something that I was in a protected any of there were boundaries. And it turned out that the director who had who went on to make the film, and who I was auditioning for used to show that video late at night too interested parties at his house, a video of me touching myself with a camera. So you were so as we continue with Dylan Howard, he is the chief content Officer of vice president for a am I, the parent company National Choirer. All Right, so this is you follow a lot of these stories you hear now all of these allegations and Harvey Weinstein and others. Where do you see this going? Well? I think that the reality here is that there has been a society of fear and culture that has walked the streets of Hollywood. The demise of Harvey Weinstein signals a new change, a change that will bring honesty and truth about the industry and we'll root out the evil. And I got to tell you, Sean, I for one hope that Corey Feldman and others who were subjected to this pedophilia racket will be brave enough to come forward and name names. At this particular point, this individual that perpetuated these crimes on Corey Feldman and Corey Haim is a household name and revered by millions around the globe. He's enjoyed the success of a Hollywood career, but one that really shouldn't have been due to his depraved actions and the actions that he took against two individuals. All Right, Dylan Howard, thanks so much for being with us again. We appreciate it. One of the few people I've gotten to know in the media that is actually a person of their word. It's unbelievable. Anyway, I appreciate it. Thanks for being with us. When we come back. We're nine days away from releasing the movie that I think is going to move you and your family in ways that you can't even imagine. The reaction has been amazing to Let there be light, and we're going to talk to one of the stars and the writers of that movie. Coming up next. Okay, yeah, I'm coming. You're drunk, Oh yeah, full of over here. The basic tenant of Christianity, whoa, whoa, whoa? Don't you dare tell me about the love and the compassion that you're so called God. What do you think it does to the voice to take the death of their brother and use it as part of your carnival act? The clinically ted in the end four minutes. It's a miracle I saw Davy. Now I want to put my hearts around them. I don't. You've got the best scientific explanation. It hasn't brought you any comfort which you consider consulting a different sources. Your God, and he's holding out his hand. All you gotta do now just take it and Jesus gets wat right. I've never exactly herd to put that way, but yeah, follow me. This shain't brains hurge. Do you believe that God hears? God always answers prayers. Sometimes we just don't understand the answers. It's better because that's what I said. I don't want to lose you. So my first question is are you guys ready for the amount of heat that will be coming your way with us? All right? That is from the movie that I am the executive producer of. It's called Let There Be Light, and it debuts in nine days and we've been playing trailers and telling you all about it, and we have a list of theaters up on my website, Hannity dot com. And uh, it's you know, in light of everything that's been going on with Harvey Weinstein, and you know the reason I got involved in this project. I think it was started about two years ago. It feels like two years. Um bringing a movie to a theater is a is a massive ordeal. Is I'm sick of Hollywood. I'm sick of their disdain and hatred for all things Christian, all things conservative. It's just a fact, you know. If it's sex and violence and it's formulaic, and it's Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Superwoman, all of the superheroes, it's it's just it's so old. Great creative movie making is just it seems like a bygone error. And movies that actually are entertaining that you can take the whole family to, that inspire you, that move your soul are few and for are between. And so I literally sat down at a table with Kevin Sorbo, who stars in the movie, with his wife Sam Sorbo, and this crazy guy that I got to know, that's a nice guy, Dan Gordon was sitting around the table. They explain the movie to me. In thirty minutes, I said, I'm in. I want to do this. I want to do something different. I like the message it. This movie will take you on an emotional roller coaster ups and downs. You're not going to be able to predict where it's gonna go, which I think is the perfect movie. Let's put it this way. I have now shown the movie to a number of friends and almost all of them have cried. It has touched their hearts that deeply. Um joining me now. Now we have a book version of it out. It's called Let There Be Light for Those in Darkness. I wrote the forward for the book and it is written by Dan Gordon, and uh, Dan Gordon and Sam Sorbo, they put the screenplay together. Welcome both of you to the program. So we're nine days away from my big movie debut as the executive producer, and uh, we're excited. Uh, welcome both other, both of you to the program. It took a long time to get here. It actually was very direct time by Hollywood standards. But thank you for having us go ahead. Well, I don't know what was it that we first, but maybe it was a year ago. I don't even remember. It's typically it's five years from start to finish. I think Dani'll back me up on that. Is that true? Much less? Oh? Yeah, I mean when I did Murder in the first which was quite a while ago, it took twenty two years to get it made so um you were you guys okay, Well you surprised that because I actually had talked to Kevin once. I said, you know, I might want to get involved in one of these movies. Now I know you have. You know there are a lot of movies. For example, how many movies have you been involved in that we would recognize immediately? Dan Gordon, Uh, this will be my seventeenth Hollywood feature and probably got about three hundred hours of television. Yeah, I mean serious, serious stuff. Kevin Sorboe known, of course, best known for his role in Hercules and one of the mega breakout hits. Uh is is God's Not Dead? Um? That he did? And Sam, I mean, was it hard because you're playing you are his wife and you're playing his wife in the movie. So I thought the fight scenes seemed particularly real. They were. It seemed like it was a very natural moment for both of you. You know, we we we work out our differences on screen. It's it works really well for the marriage. It's like therapy, you know. It is interesting though we're debut in this movie Let there be Light in nine Days and again, I hope people will go see it. It's at Hannity dot Com. And and we're gonna be adding theaters, as I understand it, every week. It's not like a quintessential Hollywood roll out because it's not it's not by one of the major studios, although we do have Lionsgate as one of our partners and so, but the bottom line is is that this is a movie that is different and there is now a new business emerging because I think a lot of us are sick and tired of what Hollywood gives us. Is that a fair statement, I think absolutely. I think that people are so hungry for this type of film, and I think you see that in in people's reactions to almost every thing that's going on in the culture. And and they're really we had, none of us really had any ideas when we sat in your office how prescient this movie was. Just how much darkness was spreading across the world, and and that was one of the themes of the movie. And I think people are just not just hungry, desperate for light in their lives. And I don't mean, you know, in a little way. I mean deep, spiritual, meaningful, purposeful light and hope in their lives, and redemption and forgiveness and and something uplifting as opposed to degrading. And I think you set it up perfectly with the the example of Harvey Weinstein. Let me. Let me set the movie up a little bit without giving the movie away. The movie opens with scenes of just how chaotic and insane and dark and evil this world can be. And years ago I wrote a book, Deliver Us from Evil, and I tried to get people to understand that in the last century a hundred million human souls were slaughtered. And and it's hard, I think for good people to wrap their arms around. There is true evil. What Harvey Weinstein did was evil. When you abuse a child, it's evil. The Holocaust was evil. What happened under Stalin and Russia was evil. The killing feels evil, nine eleven evil, Radical Islam evil. That's all evil in our time. So you've got it's like a college campus setting when the movie actually opens, and Kevin Sorbo it had is an author who wrote the book Aboarding God, and he's debating a man of faith, a pastor, and the crowd loves the Kevin Sorbo and has contempt for the pastor that has values. And then we're taking on a roller coaster ride in a journey? How did how did he develop this hatred of God, this atheism? And how does he evolve as a human being? And Sam is a big part of the road for him back to redemption. And that's about as far as I'm gonna go, because then it takes you on so many twists and turns you can't believe what happens. Is that a good summary? Sam? I thought that was excellence. And I have to say, I mean, you're your pre Dan, Dan said it also your preciens in sort of jumping into this kind of project. Look, we can go to a hundred million dollar movies, but we always leave the theater a little bit um thirsty because because our real appetites, our souls appetites, aren't really sated by the blow them up, bang them up, shoot them up kind of stuff. And this is a movie that talks to your soul, that that feeds you, that uplifts you, and that gives you hope. And that's and we need hope. That's what we need when when we see bullies getting away with bullying year after year. I think the American public has shown at this point that they're fed up with that and that they want to return to values, and I'm hoping that that they show their support for this kind of movie in the theaters this fall. Well, it's the only way you're going to get more of them, let's be honest. Otherwise, you know, movies like this, And it was a leap of faith I think for all of us. I mean both of you co authored the both the book and the and the screenplay, and I'm just you know, and somebody who believed in the project. And it is my great direction. Of course, in my scene, I'm actually in the movie that I think it's going to really pop out on the screen very convincing. I don't think I could ever break cast. I'm type cast for the rest of my career. But let's just say, no one else could have done you better than you did. Well. I appreciate that. Here's what surprised me since the movie, since we got our first cut and I've shown people and I did my own focus grouping, if you will, ninety eight percent of people cried a lot, not a little, a lot, And that surprised me. Why, without giving the story away, why do you think this movie touches so deeply? I think you know, the main thing that sets us apart, not just from Hollywood films, but also quite frankly, from an awful lot of faith based film is that this shows people facing real you know. People think that people of faith don't have to face tough situations in life, and they do. They have to deal with the most horrible situations imaginable, that challenge their faith, that break their face sometime. And just because you have faith doesn't mean that you're perfect. We have a character in the in the film who's based on a dear friend of mine, Michael Francis, who Michael Francis was a mobster who found religion and Jesus Christ while he was in jail, and now he's a real life pastor and he plays the pastor in the movie. Yeah, he was. He was as mobbed up as you could possibly be. He was second generations. He was. He was a captain in the Colombo family. At one time, Forbes magazine listed him as this most successful mobster under thirty since al Capone. That's how huge he was. And he was put in the hole for three years once he went to prison, by the way, and his father and his father wanted to kill him. Yeah, his father put a hit out and he was that was that was the reason they put him in solitary, was they couldn't protect him in the art because they said, there's a contract on your life, and your father okayed it. And here's a guy who adored his father's So he went into the went into this solitary completely broken, completely and nothing left in his life. He's in a ten foot box in the dark, and one guard had compassion on him and snuck in one book to him. And that book was the Bible. And for three years all he did was read it and he made notes in it. And I mean, I've seen, you know, the Bible, and we've talked for hours about it. And that's where he's not one of these guys who said, oh I found God, give me parole. He found God in solitary. He wasn't coming before any parole hearing. And he's been out for twenty five years now, you know, and he's a real life pastor. Yeah, and he over and you know, I just want to say that the movie deals with grief, and I think that that is one of the things that really sets it apart. And it shows somebody who has no faith and how they are handling their grief. And it shows in juxtaposition somebody who who has faith a Christian woman who is handling the grief in a different way. And and so it juxtaposes those two, those two ohades, and we all will deal with dref and the question is how will we handle it? And one way gives you hope and the other way gives you nothing but a black abyss. And it's a choice, it really is. I don't know anybody in life also that that that skates through. I don't know anybody in life that doesn't have something, challenges something at some point sometime, everybody thinks, oh, if you're rich, you're you're happy. I know more miserable rich people than anything else. Being honest, well, and and and that I think that's why the movie affects people. There. You know, this movie came out of Sam's heart, It came out of my life experiences, and it came out of your courage and putting it together. But there's nothing in that in the darkest hours that the hero faces that I didn't live through. And I think that that's why people respond to it. It's not some guy who's theoretically saying oh, this might be a challenge that a person of faith faces. No, there's nothing in that movie that that I didn't go through. There's nothing he does that I didn't do. No mistake he made that I did. View thought. And you're a top rank officer in the idea. How many wars and conflicts have you been in. I've been in six horse five of them have been in the last fifteen years. And you know, I know what PTSD is real up close and prince and personal. And a lot of the humor in there that is dark humor of this poor guy, you know, being zonked out, unable to sleep because he's on pain medication and what have you, and he's just a total zombie. Um. I know exactly what that is, as does almost every soldier who's been in combat. So I think what people respond to is is the reality both of the situations that the character's faith and the reality of their faith. And I'm a big believer that if you you meet good, creative, hard working people and you leave them alone. I'm one of the things I think if I did anything, I left you guys alone to do your job. The movie business is harder than I thought it would be. And there are more meetings than I ever had in my life. I don't do meetings, so that that became a little bit of a comp location. But in the end, I'm very proud of the project and being a part of it. It opens in nine days. Theaters are listed and they're gonna be changing every week now, and we're putting it up on Hannity dot com. We'd like you to go out in the debut week, and that means we'll get like probably five theaters based on the initial success. So it's opens on the October and there's going to be a big airing out in Vegas on Friday, and then I'm gonna be at Pastor Jeffer's Church in Dallas on for both services on Sunday, and then I'm gonna be in Cleveland at Darryl Scott's Church on Sunday night.
