All right, our two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred nine four one Sean our number. You want to be a part of the program. Well, for many years I've said on this show that were it not for Prime Minister Benjamin Netan Yahoo, there was there was no adult with moral clarity on the world stage that understood the nature of good versus evil and was strong enough to call the world's attention to it. He's the longest serving prime minister in the history of Israel, and he's about to He's on the precipice. I believe of winning yet again. Anyway, joining us now. He's a longtime friend of mine, over twenty five years. Now bb net and Yahoo's with us. He has a brand new book out, It's All My Story. It's on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com now on bookstores everywhere. He's been at the heart of probably the most difficult national security challenge of any world leader in history. Mister Prime Minister, great to have you back, How are you, sir? Wonderful to talk to you, Sean to hear. Let's talk a little bit about your early life, because I don't know, I'm not sure to the extent people remember or the people maybe don't know you come from a family, you come and you live in a country that has had ever since the UN Partition Plan was put forth in the nineteen forties, where Bingorian, the Prime Minister, reaches out his hand in friendliness and neighborliness, and the next day Israel has attacked and you got the Sixth Day War. Then you've got, you know, all of this never ending conflict. Tell us about your history with your brother who you lost at the raid, and Tibby and Tibby, etc. Go through a little of your family history. Well, my family, my father was the Starian, was involved in helping create the state, and we grew into a generation, my brothers and I who had to secure the life of the state. I'm sure it's future. My brothers and I, my two brothers and I actually joined the elite forces of the Israeli arms, especially units, very tiny units. But somehow the three of us got squirreled into it together and my brother then and I was wounded fighting terrorists, actually rescuing hostages from a hijacked Belgian airplane, and I was shot, and so I left the army after that and went to study at America and at my cake. My brother stayed on and he became the commander of this unit, and he led his men in storming the terrorists who held who held the Jewish hostages and Israeli hostages in terbi Uganda. They thought that they were safe from Israel's retribution and the rescue, and they were wrong, and the raid was spectacularly successful. One hundred and three hostages were rescued, three died, and only one military casualty died, my brother, who led the storming party. And that was obviously an enormous tragedy for me, not only because I lost of an older brother, but because I somehow felt that as long as my older brother, Joni Jonathan was alive, that he would rise to great heights and he would help secure Israel's future. But when he died, I found a refuge from inconsolable grief by taking on the battle against terrorism, entering public life, helping turn the tide of opinion in the West against international terrorism, and the States have sponsored and this eventually led me into political life and, as you said, to become the longest serving Prime Minister of Israel. In my book To Be My Story, I described this evolution which involved tragedy but also triumph. And it's it's still I have to tell you, in Israeli politics, it's not a genteel sport. You know, it's not for the fat hearted. So we're gonna have elections, by the way, that is one thing the US and Israel have in common. Although I gotta tip my hat to Israel, I don't think they have a more complicated did electoral system than any of the country on Earth. To be honest, I strongly disagree with you that I don't disagree with many things I think a political system. But anyway, we're ready. Well that's that's what I'm saying. I think you have one of the worst systems on Earth. No events, oh that we do agree. We have another point I agree with him. Let me ask you this, when Donald Trump comes into office. Here you were, and I'd interview you all these years, and you're warning the world about radical Islamic terrorism and warning the world about a nuclear armed Iran, and and you had a hard time building building a coalition that understood the real, clear present danger that a nuclear arm Iran would would face, would would provide to the world. Really, and you were the lone vote voice in the wilderness, and all of a sudden, Donald Trump gets elected and something five years prior to his election I never would have thought possible. Is this coalition that I described, and that was Israel, the US, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, even them. We stood together, sharing intelligence at a level most people I don't even think we're aware of, to protect all of the countries against the threat of a nuclear on Duran. Well, I think you're right. The change, the great change happened in two in sixteen in terms of American policy, because the newly elected President Donald Trump said I'm getting out of this horrible deal, this dangerous Iran deal, and I'm going to reapply crippling sanctions on Iran, and that that was exactly the policy that I had advocated unsuccessfully to his predecessor, President Obama. Now I did something else. In twenty fifteen, a year before Donald Trump was elected, I went to the US Congress, to a joint session of Congress, and I spoke out against the deal, basically challenging the sitting years president. Not an easy thing to do, because under any president, democratic or Republican, the US is are indispensable ally. But when I felt that this deal threatened the very existence of the Jewish state, the very existence of the Jewish people who've been laboring to under the sun for three thirty five hundred years. I wouldn't let they told us get away with it, so I spoke out against it. And while I was into making the speech, Arab leaders from the Gulf secretly contacted my delegation and they said we wanted, we want to set up meetings, and that produced meetings before before twenty sixteen. That eventually blossomed into the Abraham Accords, which are historic, four historic peace agreements. That is all made with the help, indispensable help of President Trump and his team. So we changed history. We've got the peace not because we were weak and because we were ben towards Ran, but because we were strong and standing up to Iran. And this made the Arab country, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan joined the circle of peace. It's peace too strength, And when you have an American president and an Israeli primary minister working in tandem to that goal peace to strength, you actually get both. You get peace and you get strength. The sad thing is history often too often has a tendency to repeat itself. And you see that the current US President, Joe Biden, has been pursuing that deal once again, as bad as it was the first time. And I'll never forget the words you spoke and the words you uttered in a number of speeches. But it was either the UN speech or the Joint Session of Congress, I don't recall exactly, but coming to a theater near you, that always stuck with me, because that's exactly right. It's not just Israel that is the target of radical Islamis. It is the world that is the target of radical Islamis. And this idea of a caliphate and domination of the world, well exactly, and I think this is the main point the Islamist and the Iranian Islamis before anyone else. They call us a small Satan, and they call you the great Safety, and they say that, you know, they chant death to Israel, but they also say a chant death to America. So we're in their way. We're in the region. We're preventing them from conquering the region. And I'm doing my best and will continue to do my best if I'm elected in a few weeks to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. Now, if they have nuclear weapons, I understand that they're developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, which they are not intended for Israel because they can reach US without that, they're intended for you. And if they Iran has ballistic missiles tipped with nuclear warheads, they could threaten any American city. Now do you want that? I don't think so. And I think the way to prevent that is not through a deal that they violate any way that doesn't mean anything, but through cuippling sanctions and a credible military option. And when you run knows that the US is prepared to take those steps, they usually go back. And if you're not prepared to arm yourself both with them a military option and quippling sanctions, they're going to develop those weapons and they'll threaten me. And that's not a good place to be. All Right, I gotta take a quick break. We'll come back more with former Prime minister probably soon to be prime minister again, bb net and Yahoo. His brand new book is out bb my Story, Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com. If you want to sign copy, it's bbmstory dot com. Listen if you believe in the Constitution. Our rights are immigration, foreign policy, gender, marriage, whatever the topic happens to be. Look, these subjects are all part of the political dialogue today. We talk about them often on this show. They're at the heart of so many campaigns this election season. And by the way, what did our founding fathers? You everything, what they thought of these issues? We have moved so far away from the founders and their understanding of government, you will be surprised by the answers. And our favorite college, Hillsdale College, has the best way to learn about the founder's deep, wise insights into the human condition. And today you can join Hillsdale professors Thomas West and David Azarad as they explore the thoughts and ideas of America's founders and framers in Hillsdale's newest free online course.

We have a special website and you can go to sean for Hillsdale dot com that's Sea n f O R Hillsdale dot com and take a look at the trailer and sign up for the course and you're gonna love it from our friends at Hillsdale College. Why we continue with former Israeli and hopefully future Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new book is how bb my Story. If you want an autograph company, we have a special website, bbmstory dot com. So we watch the last election. It's a very close election, and something happened that I never thought would happen, and that is that the Arab coalition that no ruling party had ever partnered with, in fact, partnered with your political adversaries to form a coalition government. It was destined to collapse. It has since collapsed, and now we're going to have elections once again. Now, the polling that I've seen, both private and public, all show that you are headed now for a victory. Yet again, what is the timeline on this? Well, the election is in about two weeks away, and you know, I wish that I could say one hundred percent that you're right. But you know, in every election, which I described some of them in my Bookstone aren't funny, but they're always you know, they're always sort of knife edge, and I run as though I'm going to lose, and that way I usually win. But is it guaranteed. No, So I'm you know, I'm taking out time now in the middle of I'm actually in a gas station while I talk to you edit for a political meeting. So I run as fast as I can, as hard as I can, because I'm guided by a mission, and the mission is to assure the future and security of the Jewish State, actually the security in the future, because the security comes first, and assure the future. And I have tremendous reserves of energy, but the major reserves of the greatest country help that I have in encouragement is my loving family, my wife and my boys, but also millions in Israel and around the world who have supported me through the tempest of political life in this mission because they want to see the Jewish state survive and thrive. And many of them, especially our evangelical supporters, see that as a vindication of the biblic called prophecy of the gathering of the exiles in the Promised Land and the success of the Jewish people, which is a successful all of humanity. Let me get your take on. We have been watching now in recent weeks and now it's been going on quite a long period of time, and we're seeing great civilian unrest in Iran and going up against a vicious, vile, murdering regime, and people still are taking to the streets, even though thousands are losing their lives in the process. Others are being imprisoned and tortured in the process, But it's not stopping the people of Iran who seem to have had enough. I'm not sure. I don't have the access to intelligence that perhaps you might have, but from the outside looking into me, it looks like the Iranian people are on the verge of potentially challenging the Mullahs in Iran that have been in power with their restrictive policies, And is there any chance that changes? Yes, there is. Iran is a theological police state. The people of Iran are showing. The men and women of Iran are showing tremendous courage, tremendous scourge, and they should be supported unheartedly in every possible way. The last thing you want to do is give this repressive regime, the foremost terrorist regime on earth and the tormentor of its people, to give them hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions, relief and in a highway paved with gold to nuclear weapons. That is folly. More than folly. I think it's it's it's it's I would say, almost a lapse of any judgment. It is not right, okay and dangerous. So that's the first thing not to do. The second thing is to do everything you can to help them. I have certain ideas of how we can we can bring about a lasting change, even on the Sean Hannity Show that I greatly respect. I want to reserve my thoughts because I may be an office in a couple of weeks and I may have to implement them, and I'm not sure I want to telegraph through you on how well I would advise. I would advise you not to, but I'll tell you this, and I know I speak for many Americans. There will be a lot more competence in terms of the hope and the opportunity for peace and stability piece through strength and stability if you get back in power. And I hope the people of Israel are smart enough to understand now what is at stake here. Anyway. The book is called BB My Story and we have a special website set up.

Eight hundred. By the way, the website again, if you want an autograph copy bbat my story dot com. When we're bbmstory dot com all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour. We are in Georgia today. We have a special Hannity town hall with herschel Walker tonight with special guests that we're not going to tell you about until you tune in tonight. You have to watch and you're gonna like the show. Wednesday, we will be in doing a town hall in Pennsylvania with doctor Oz and special guests there as well. We've been following this trial of Dan Schenko and the one big headline that comes out of this forget about Igor Danchenko. Dancenko was the subsource for Christopher Steele's dossier. That's the dirty Russian disinformation dossier that Hillary Clinton Boughton paid for. The most fascinating thing to come out of this. There were probably two things to come out of this that really stand out for me. Number one is now we know not only did Hillary Clinton leak the dirty, unverified dossier to the media mob that will compliant and they spread the propaganda and the lies and the misinformation, but it went deeper and it went further. We learned at this trial that the FBI went to meet with Christopher Steele going back to early October of twenty sixteen, before the election. Now, the first FISA application warrant was not even filed until late October of that year against Carter Page, which also gave actor into President Trump's campaign at the time, and they offered in early October Christopher Steele one million dollars if he could prove that the dirty dossier was true. So they presented before a fives A court. Andrew McCabe is, Deputy director of the FBI, had said that if he didn't have the dirty dossier, they never would have gotten a FIES the application approved. Never So then James Comey signed the first three applications and other people as well, but the first three, so he signed it and the FBI knew it was unverified. They lied to de Fis, a court judge. Now, when they eventually got to the subsource or the source for the dirty doss it turns out it's Dan Chenko and Igor dan Chaco ends up telling the FBI, Oh, no, no, no, none of none of this stasis true. It's part talk. We never expected this to be used in a campaign, and you know, we never expect people to believe all this stuff. So what does the FBI do at that point? Do they stop making fives applications? No, they continue to use the dirty dossier that Christopher Steele couldn't verify that. The source that Christopher Steele used, he couldn't verify it. He debunked it. And yet what does the FBI do? They put Dancenco on their payroll. I mean, it's like a bounty on Donald Trump's head. You cannot make this up anyway. Here to weigh in on all of this, we have Greg Jarrett. Greg Jarrett, of course, has a great column out today. You can get it at foxnews dot com. The d'ancenco trial. Dorham exposes how corrupt the how corrupt the FBI frame Donald Trump. I can't put it in any other way. And there are other things. We're looking for this trial to wrap up later in the week. We'll see what happens. We're also expecting to hear from FBI whistleblowers. Anyway, Greg Jared is back with us, sir. It's always a pleasure. How are you? Oh, I'm well thanks. You know what he is so amazing about this whole thing is that what's amazing I got through all of that information on the top of my head and I didn't screw it up. That's amazing. But go ahead, you were one hundred percent correct. Not only did Hillary Clinton invent the collusion lie to smear Trump, she paid for it. She was funding the dossier and it worked like this. Hilary crony Charles Dolan fed a pack of lies to Igor den Chenko, who fed those lies to Christopher Steele. Now, Dolan, Denshenko, and Steele all knew that it was completely phony, But the FBI also knew it was phony. But they were so desperate to topple Trump that they dangle this one million dollar reward if he would only corroborate the dossier with backup lies. I mean, that's the equivalent shot of a bounty on the head of Donald Trump. It's a financial incentive to lie even more. And you know, I had to laugh. The other day, I'm watching an NBC News reporter national audience say, oh, now, bear in mind everyone that the FBI never used the dossier and their investigation. I mean, what a blatant lie. Of course they did. That reporter obviously never read the affidavits to the warrants for the FISA court in which they lawlessly and intrusively spied on Carter Page, and they cited the dossier as the basis for their request to spy, you know, And they said to the court, lying to the court, Oh, the dossier's credible. They knew it was a lie, and they said Christopher Steele's reliable, leading out the fact that they fired Steel, were lying to the FBI, and finally kicked him off the payroll because he was unreliable. How it is that James Gummy and others have managed to escape prosecution for perjury and contempt of court for defrauding the FISA court is beyond me. Is there any way that any credible way that James Comey would make the argument, well, this is just what I was told. I didn't know this to be true, but this is what my team told me, and therefore I assumed it was verified. That's the only reason why I signed it. Now, if you remember, there was an interesting exchange I guess in the last year and a half with Lindsey Graham and James Comey, and he went through a list of all these people that Sally Yates and all these other people, Rosenstein, knowing what you know, now, would you have signed off on the FISA application? Each and every one of them said no. But it took them getting caught red handed for them to get there. But the reality is there was no way on earth they could have believed any of this in the dossier, and there was no verification even possible. Now it became the bulk of information that was used by the FBI. So they purposely, willingly conspired with the purpose, I would argue, of influencing an election to frame Donald Trump. And they've all gotten away with it. Greg, That's the problem. I don't I probably the statute of limitations have passed by this point. Oh they have, And you know Comy, he said, Oh gosh, I relied on the work of others. No, look at the affidavit. It's he swears under penalty of perjuries, read it, understands it, and stands behind it one hundred percent. He should have been prosecuted for perjury in contempt of court. But it's even worse than that. Not only was Commy a participant in spreading secretly to the public that the dossier is credible, he sat there silently as the media, once it was published, kept insisting for a year and a half that the dossier was true. As Combing knew that it was not untrue, he didn't tell the truth to the public he had absolute exculpatory evidence that Trump was innocent, but he deprived Congress, the public, and the media from those very salient facts because he wanted to convict Trump in the court of public opinion and his witting accessories with a Trump hating mainstream media. Now it's fascinating to me now that we know all this, Republicans are calling for like a church like committee to weed out the corruption that has now taken place within the intelligence community and the FBI, the Department of Justice, etc. I think the time has probably probably come for that, And because Christopher Ray has showed no desire to clean up his own apartment, it should be the world's premier law enforcement agency. It is not. If anything, they just seems to be retribution anger against anybody that exposes this truth. You can't tell me that Christopher Ray doesn't acknowledge know every aspect of this. What is it? They They figure they're in control of things, so they don't have to worry about being investigated. All Christopher Ray cares about is himself his own job. He's preoccupied with covering up the misconduct by the FBI. He's lifted not a finger to clean up his cesspool of an agency. And you know, as I say in today's column, you can read it on a Fox or my own website, the FBI needs to be torn apart, deconstructed top to botherm rename it for all I care, But it needs to be reconstituted into a new agency that actually adheres to the original principles of a neutral, a political law enforcement agency dedicated to upholding the law. You know right now it's the Federal Bureau of Corruption and Incompetence. And you know, when the law enforcers become the lawbreakers, all that does, Sean is breed contempt by everybody for the law. It threatens to democracy and reverence for the rule of law is lost. So Christopher Ray needs to say, so let me ask you that so dan Chenko they knew was lying. They knew from the beginning, and then when he as the subsource, when he was interviewed by the FBI told him it was he told them at that point the truth, and he was rewarded for telling them the truth by working for the FBI and getting paid by the FBI. When the FBI knew that none of this was true, So they basically were paying him to lie or were they paying him to control them. I think it's a little bit of both. They asked him to dig up dirt. They paid him more than two hundred thousand dollars in US taxpayer money over three years as a confidential informant. What was he supposed to do? Dig up even more dirt on Donald Trump? But it was also shut up money, Sean, I mean, they were paying the guy not to tell the American public or Congress the truth that the dossier was phony. So, you know, dan Schenko, we know he was hard up for money, would do anything for cash. He kept mom that the dossier was bogus. And you know, it's really hard to believe that the FBI would not only hire, but pay more than two hundred thousand dollars to a guy that the bureau had already investigated as a counter intelligent threat who was a threat to national security. They thought this guy, so what is the big lie that they brought up in trial that they think was so devastating when when he told them the truth about the dossier and for telling the truth, he gets paid money and gets put on the payroll, and and now they're upset that he's lying. Yeah, The big lie was he was he was covering up where he got some of his lies from. You know, he admitted, okay, it's all a lie. It was all made up. It was all bogus, which the FBI had or he confirmed months earlier. But he lied to them when they said, well, did you get this from Charles Dolan, Hillary's crony, And he said, oh no, oh no, never communicated with him, never talked with him. In fact, he did in the documents show it. And Dolan took the witness standard. And they're trying to say, yeah, I said a bunch of embellishments. He called it. No, they were lies, um, But so that's that's one of the lies. So the FBI didn't want Hillary exposed, and Dan Chenco didn't want Hillary exposed, so they all agreed to this why and they paid him to maintain the lie. All right, quick break, we'll come back more with Greg Jarrett and the latest on the Dancechenko trial. Eight hundred and nine for one seawn our number. If you want to be a part of the program, we'll look at our posters and these important Senate races. We're in Georgia. We have a town hall with herschel Walker and a number of special guests nine Eastern Tonight on Fox News. Anyway, Look, I know these are tough economic times. You've got to do everything possible to mitigate the damage of Biden inflation, Biden gas prices, Biden's recession. And that's where our friends at American Financing dot net come in. And I always appreciate hearing from all of you when it comes to our show's sponsors. And I've got another recent story that I want to share with you about American Financing dot Net. One of our listeners just used his home equity to pay off four credit cards, and American Financing was able to save him seven hundred and thirty five dollars a month in the process. Those monthly savings and the ability to get out of debt is a pretty darned good possibility in these tough economic times, and it may be possible for you too, And that's why I'm urging you to take advantage of their free no pressure, no obligation, mortgage review, debt consolidation review, finance review. Talk to the professionals at American Financing dot net. No obligation, no pressure at all. They're waiting to take your call and help you out and see how much money they can save you every month eight six six six one hundred eight six six six one hundred on the webbits American Financing dot net. I would continue with Greg Jarrett now our discussion of the final days here of the Igor Danchenko trial. You know, it's an amazing chapter in American history, and because the FBI has not shown any willingness to clean up their actor, we expect we're going to have anywhere between twenty thirty maybe even more by the time all was said and done. FBI whistleblowers that have come forward to the likes of Charles Grassley, Ron Johnson, Jim Jordan in the House all wanting to tell the story of the FBI has been politicized and the Department of Justice has been weaponized. Interestingly, the day after Jim Jordan was talking to me about this on my television show, all of a sudden, Mary Garland put out a memorandum a reminder that if you work for the DOJ, if you remember the FBI, you are not allowed to talk to members of Congress, which correct me if I'm wrong. Greg Jarrett would contradict whistleblower protections and laws that we have for federal employees. We have about thirty seconds. Yeah, I mean Garland is violating the law by telling his employees they can't talk to Congress, when in fact, Congress passed the law saying you can and moss talk to us when you find evidence of wrongdoing within your agency. So you know, once again another example of the contempt to the law that Merrit Garland has. When he's not treating concerned parents's domestic terrorists and refusing to protect Supreme Court justices who are being threatened outside their homes, you know, he is threatening his own employees, who are protected by law. Merrick Garland is the equal disgrace to Christopher Ray. All Right, Greg Jared, great Columny, you get it, Greg Jared dot com or Foxnews dot com. Always great to talk to you, Greg, Always very informative. This is a sad chapter. If America doesn't get this right, we will never have equal justice or equal application of our laws again.
