Now there are calls for all these friends of screwey Louis farakon uh to uh well basically resigned their offices. Can you imagine if you have any equivalent of far Acon, a virulent, hateful racist, anti Semite, and any elected Republicans hanging out with him. You know, now a picture emerges. It was purposely hidden from view. Obama and far Acon together. I always wondered, considering they live so close to each other in Chicago, if they knew each other, I mean, they both know Jeremiah Right and Father Flager and the unrepented terrorists heirs and Dorn and pretty much nobody in the media I know of is ever gonna ask what about your buddy Faracon in this picture here, and the fact that you had a meeting and that you hid that you were gonna be friends so it wouldn't hurt you in your election to become president. That would be lying by omission again. All right, so we'll hit that today. Uh we have Jay Sekulo is gonna stop by the Program Council to the President, Chief Council American Center for Law and Justice. We have the latest on the Department of Justice going after the State of California that we're going to get into um And also there are comments by Jeff Sessions that everybody in the media is missing that we're gonna will highlight and pay attention for you and outline it for you. One of the things that is interesting me is James Comey because there's certain things we know about James Comy. James Comey is, as I predicted, is gonna be coming out with a book, and I'm just wondering. I've I've talked now to numerous attorneys that are aware. I would say, if I was the attorney a James Comey, I would remind him that he does have the right to remain silent. Remember, you're not allowed to reveal executive privilege confidential information between in you and a president, and he did just that, and he did it for the distinct purpose of getting a special counsel. So that's an issue that he has. Now. James Comey has a lie problem that he's going to have to deal with because if you remember the Department, the FBI, Department of Justice, remember the original application for the FISA warrant that the deputy uh FBI Director Andrew McCabe said, Oh, if we don't have the dossier, then we don't have even an application for the FISER warrant. Well, remember the dossiers paid for by Hillary Clinton Boughton, paid for by her in the d n C whose finances she controls. Okay, the FBI knew this, James Comey knew all of this in the FISA application, they never told the FIZER judge that, in fact, it was Hillary Clinton's document bought and paid for. Now, as a matter of law, there is a responsibility of the FBI and the d o J to actually independently, very afy and corroborate any evidence that is put before the FISA judge. Otherwise we don't have Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure. If the FBI can take uncorroborated, unverified information which we now know turned out to be false, bring it before a judge and not tell the FISA judge where the information came from and that it was bought and paid for by an opposition party in the lead up to a presidential election. All right, all of that Homie never did that. We know that, James Comey. You know, remember three months later he's telling Donald Trump in Trump Tower about the dossier, but he's telling Trump it's not verified, and he's telling Trumpets slashous. But three months earlier they're presenting it to the FISA judge as though it's gospel truth, having followed the law and done their own verification and corroboration. So he's got legal problems way beyond that, which perhaps he knows now, and it's gonna be interesting to watch all of this unfold. Then he's got another problem that's an obstruction of justice problem in my view, and that is that, you know, here he had him and Peter Struck are exonerating Hillary Clinton before any investigation. But it's almost like if you listen to Stephanopolis, who's Stephanopolis Stephanopolo? Go watch the war Room when Bill Clinton was running, and you'll learn, you know, just how close Stephanopolis is to the Clinton's. They got Stephanopolis, then you got you know, Steve Colbert, who owes his entire career to Donald Trump right now because his ratings were in the sewer until he took a hard, hard trip to the left side and started trashing Trump every night. Anyway, they're both promoting these appearances. Listen, Geez Coomy for the first time since being fired by President Trump, and he's ready to talk. Nothing's off slipped. Stephanois. I'm also really excited because I just found out, is this what's the date, April seventeen, My guest sitting in that chair will be former FBI Director James call me. Yeah, that's what I said. I said, so I wonder how hard he's gonna be pressed on putting the fix in and rigging the Clinton investigation. It's gonna be fascinating to read the i G report that is out maybe in the next week or so. You know, he's the guy that got fired from the FBI. He's the guy that leaked potentially classified information in order to trigger the special Counsel with his buddy Robert Mueller. Now he's getting ready, you know, to pursue his television career on conspiracy TV, MSNBC, and uh. Of course, then we have the whole contradiction over the FISA warrant. And if I was his lawyer, I think I might be I might be warning him you better stay away for A, B, C, D, E, F G and on and on and on. You know, we all knew this was gonna happen. I mean, he he loves You just can tell certain people they love the spotlight. You can see it, you taste it, you feel it. And he's one of those people. And he's so arrogant on his Twitter account, so sanctimonious and self righteous, as if he is the sole arbiter of all that is good in America. Clearly has a total disdain for Donald Trump, like a lot of people in his orbit. But anyway, so the first steps are, you know, He's now gonna do these interviews, and uh, the mainstream media can barely contain their excitement. And given their unrestrained glee over this interview, you know, are we really gonna expect these guys to ask the questions that are gonna matter? You know? I mean, is Colbert and Stephanopolos gonna ask, you know, why he never investigated Clinton's lies, why he never prosecuted obvious felonies, times mishandling classified information, why he lied to the American people. We learned yesterday that yeah, Peter Struck knew that that email server had in fact been hacked by Russia among other hostile nations, and that puts people's lives in jeopardy. That's why it's so serious. And then the destruction of such information, and then the you know, the leading and acid washing away with bleach bit you know, the rest of the information. You know. I mean, if Stephen Colbert gonna press him on why you look the other way when the Attorney General is meeting Loretta Lynch on the tarmac, they have their secret meeting days before the FBI decides not to recommend charges. Is he gonna be forced to discuss the exoneration letter before any investigation. Is the mainstream media going to address his potentially unlawful leaking of classified information after he was fired? Well, it doesn't really matter. What matters is what the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions does in all of this. You know, Um, looking at the dates, do you realize it was one year ago and I was talking and touching on this at the start of the show yesterday, one year ago today that Sarah Carter and John Solomon broke the story and gave us the first reports that there had been a FISA warrant issued as it relates to Trump associates one year ago. Everything that I'm talking about we have now learned in the course of a year. You know, we didn't know that Clinton Boughton paid for the dossier full of Russian lies. We didn't know that that dossier was presented to get a FISA warrant. We didn't know that they withheld they purposely withheld information from the FISA judge in the original application and the three subsequent renewals. We didn't know that they never told them that Hillary Boughton paid for it. We didn't know they didn't verify it. We didn't know they didn't corroborate it. We've learned a lot. We didn't know that Struck and Page hated Trump the way they do. We didn't know that that Peter Struck was involved in pretty much every aspect of this case. We didn't know a lot of that now. There was an interview last night on Fox News. UH. My colleague Shannon Bream was doing the interview, and she asked the questions about, more specifically, whether he's gonna consider naming a special counsel, a second special counsel to the FBI and the Justice Department and their investigations into possible collusion between the twenty sixteen Trump campaign in Russian And remember just last week or a week and a half ago, even Adam Schiff said there was no evidence of this. Diane Feinstein, Joe Manson, Clapper, uh, Brent, They've all said that there's no evidence because there has been no evidence presented to this point. And sessions answer is pretty interesting because he says, well, I have great respect for Mr Gowdy and Chairman good Lad, and we're gonna consider seriously their recommend as for a second special counsel. And then he said to Shannon Breen in this interview, I have appointed a person outside of Washington many years at the Department of Justice to look at all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us, and we are conducting that investigation. Now. It's like nobody paid attention when we broke on this program the story about he never recused himself from anything dealing with Iranian one. And then what about six weeks ago, lo and behold an issue that oh was already litigated according to Hillary and it's all been debunked. Well, we had another indictment in the Iranian one case. So I'm interpreting this that there's a lot going on behind the scenes that none of us know about, at least I'm hoping if we if we're gonna be a country of laws, equal justice under the law of the Constitution, we better be holding people accountable that are violating all these laws. And then he goes on to say that he's well aware that we have a responsibility to ensure the integrity of the Fiser process. Well, I interpret that as him saying, yeah, I get it the fies that judges were alied to and we have a responsibility to look into that too. And then he even used the phrase we're not afraid to look into that. And then he said the Inspector General something that our inspector General is is not very strong, but he has almost five employees, most of which are lawyers and prosecutors, and they are looking at the Fizer process. We must make sure it's done properly, and we're gonna do that, and I will consider the request. Jim Jordan's mentioned about this that we need a special counsel, someone from like Oklahoma, Iowa, from the middle of the country, a well respected retired judge or some prosecutor is well respected to assemble a team and let them do what they do. I don't see any other remedy, he said. If you pick the right person, there's a chance at the conclusion that there can be some type of closure and acceptance on the part of the American people. They want people held accountable, which is all true. Alright, So we're following that very closely. One year ago today, I think of all that we learned in a year. For those of you that are impatient, we're getting there. We've made a lot of progress. And for those in the mainstream media that have missed the biggest story in their life, the biggest abuse of power story in their life, and the biggest corruption scandal in their life, that's their problem and they will be proven wrong. Well unlike what that nunneberg nuts said about me, And it is gonna be proven wrong. Okay, Uh, have you been drinking? No? No, no, I just took my meds. It's okay, alright. A lot is being made over recent elections. In an upcoming election, there is a h A Bell Weather election race coming up next Tuesday in Pennsylvania. New poll shows that the Republican is holding on a slight lead This guy's name is ricks Kone. Um, let me just warn everybody ahead of time, what part of the argument has got to be. If if you want this country to descend into utter and complete chaos, then go vote for Democrats or stay home, because that's exactly what's gonna happen if Nancy Pelosi and the radical left take over. And you know, so you am I happy with the Republicans. No, the only people I like are the Freedom Caucus members. They're the ones that get things done. The President, as I've said many times, it just came out a week or so ago, six of his agenda, which is a conservative agenda. I don't want to get into this nationalist populist debate, but a conservative agenda energy independence, tax cuts, repatriation, um, you know, getting rid of the mandate, all the things that he could do on his own, getting rid of burdens, some regulation. It's all having a huge impact. You see it every day with almost every singles, you know, statistic that comes out in terms of the economy anyway, So if you look at this particular place anyway, So next Tuesday, voters in Pennsylvania's eighteenth district, they're going to go to the polls and a pretty high profile special election. And uh, anyway, if you look at the polls, they now have the Republican up by three. The President is going there on Saturday. I assume that would probably help. You know, but we were hearing in over and over and over again, Democrats were suggesting that there's this big blue wave coming, league blue wave coming to Texas. Well, the big blue wave never happened in Texas. As a matter of fact, Senate Democrats, Uh, based on what they had been predicting what actually happened. They'll be lucky if they avoid a blood bath. If this latest Axios survey is even remotely accurate. Yeah, five Senate Democrats would lose to Republican candidates if the elections were held today, and three have approval ratings under According to this new survey, Democrats are defending ten Senate seats and states that Trump won in twenty sixteen, and six of those states Trump's approval is higher than And these these numbers underscore how hard this work is gonna be for the Democrats to pick up two seats needed to win the majority, despite you know, all of the NonStop, obsessive, compulsive coverage that is all things negative, Trump, all things chaos, all things Stormy Daniels, all things anything, but you know, exposing the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country and the biggest abuse of power scandal ever. Now some of the more vulnerable senators are Joe Mansion of West Virginia. Uh, John Tester in Montana, Claire mccaskell. I'd love to her for her to lose a Missouri that'd be great, by the way, only she only goes home to Missouri to sound like she's more conservative than she is. But she always votes with Chuck Schumer and the same I hate to say it, with Joe Manchin. He's gonna sound as conservative as he can, but he pretty much votes with Schumer and each of their approval ratings is under and while Trump is above that in all three states. And you got Bill Nelson, Bob Casey, and Shared Brown. Uh, those are gonna be interesting racist to watch. I'll explain more as we continue till the top of the hour. We expect the President any minute to sign this new tariffs that he's putting out there on aluminum and steel, and uh, some people don't like it, some people do. I have a very different take than everybody else. He will be exempting, at least for the time being, Mexico and Canada. Where did this dog that you're holding come from? That's in our studio to stuff an? What is it? No, where did you get the dog? Where did you get the dog? It's just a stuffed animal. It's not a stuffed animal. Where did you get the very real looking stuffed animal? All right, so did you buy a present for something? He's not list Liam's too, he doesn't listen to this radio program. He's not listening right now. We're trying out for a new advertiser, very LifeLock, life like looking stuffed animals. Okay, what is the real dog on your lap doing on your lap? We can take pictures and videos and prove to the audience. Could I is it for? Liam? Is that what the thing is? You're not telling me? Break Well, maybe you should have informed me before I blasted it out on five stations. Maybe that would have been a smarter way to handle it. I mean, I'm not used to just looking up and there's this little puppy dog cutest it actually is a very cute dog and licking your face and distracting you from doing your job all day. I did my job all day. First of all, I do my job dog and no dog. Coffee and no coffee. No, it's always with always with coffee. Black rifle. Um, yeah, black rifle is the best. All right. So the President is going to sign the new tariffs and he's gonna exempt. But what I think everybody has missed here is this, I knowing this president as long and as well as I know him, it's a negotiation. I mean, during the campaign, if I said I'd like to interview you, I know you're going you're gonna be in Pennsylvania, You're gonna be in Wisconsin. Uh, I want to do the whole hour we did it with the other candidates. Would you like to do it? Why do we have to do Why don't we just do it twenty and then it Because it was always with him a negotiation just for the sake of negotiating, and say, all right, I'll tell you what we'll do forty two minutes and uh, we'll call it a day there instead of the hour. We'll meet in the middle, and he go, okay, that's fair. The problem is he didn't know the forty two minutes was the whole hour of the show, and it's just another way of saying I got the full hour. But everything with him is a negotiation. So I think what's happening here is he's hoping hoping to negotiate better trade deals anyway, so when he speaks, we'll go to that. So you have five Senate Democrats that would lose two Republican candidates if the elections were held today. Now, the least vulnerable senators are Bill Nelson of Florida, A C of Pennsylvania, and Shared Brown of Ohio. And Trump's approval rating is attent in Florida, Pennsylvania, in Ohio, so his approval rating is higher than the incumbent senators in six states West Virginia, North Dakota, Montana, uh Indiana, Missouri, in Ohio. It's higher than his national approval rating in all ten states. Now. North Dakota voted for Trump over Hillary by a thirty six point margin any generic Republican candidate would lead over Heidi high Camp and Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin's narrow three point advantage over a generic Republican is underscored by outside conservative groups that have spent millions Now and They're these are all gonna be winnable races. Senator Casey in Pennsylvania is polling nine points ahead of his GOP challenger, whom Trump is already publicly endorsed, though the president's approval ratings in Pennsylvania. Um, you know, so even the New York Times a right, here's the president's deal at aluminum workers, and you are truly the backbone of America. You know that. Very special people I've known you and people that are very closely related to you for a long time. You know that. I think it's probably the reason I'm here. So I want to thank you. I also want to thank Secretary Manuchin, Embassador Light Hazard, Secretary Ross, Peter Navarro, Mike pens are great Vice President. They've worked so hard on getting this going and getting it done, and people are starting to realize how important it is. We have to protect and build our steel and aluminum industries while at the same time showing great flexibility and cooperation towards those that are really friends of ours, both on a trade basis and a military basis. The strong steel and aluminum industry are vital to our national security. Absolutely vital. Steel is steel You don't have steel, you don't have a country. Our industries have been targeted for years and years, decades in fact, by unfair foreign trade practices, leading to the shuttered plants and mills, the laying off of millions of workers, and the decimation of entire communities. And that's going to stop, right, It's going to stop. This is not merely an economic disaster, but it's a security disaster. We want to build our ships, we want to build our planes, We want to build our military equipment with steel, with aluminum from our country. And now we're finally taking action to correct this long overdue problem. It's a travesty. Today I'm defending America's national security by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum. We will have a tariff on foreign steel and a ten percent tariff on foreign aluminum. When the product comes across our borders. It's a process called dumping. And they dumped more than at any time on any nation anywhere in the world. And it drove our plants out of business, that drove our factories out of business. And we want a look a lot of steel coming into our country. But we wanted to be fair and we want our workers to be protected, and we want, frankly, our companies to be protected. By contrast, we will not place any new tax on product made in the USA, So there's no tax. If a product is made in the say you don't want to pay tax, bring your plan to the USA. There's no tax. Which we will benefit from the massive tax cuts that we have in place. We have passed the largest tax cut plan in the country's history, and that has caused really tremendous success. Between that and regulation cutting, and I think maybe a regulation cutting every bit as much, and we have a long way to go on regulations, but we've already cut more than any president in history. So we're urging all companies to buy American. That's what we want, by American. The action that I'm taking today follows a nine month investigation by the Department of Commerce Secretary Ross documenting a growing crisis in our steel and aluminum production that threatens the security of our nation and also is bad for US economically and with jobs. The American steel aluminum industry has been ravaged by aggressive foreign trade practices. It's really an assault on our country. It's been an assault. They know better than anybody other countries have added production capacity that far exceeds demand and flooded the world market with cheap metal that is subsidized by foreign governments, creating jobs for their country and taking away jobs from our country. I've been talking about this for a long time, a lot longer than my political career. I've been talking about this for many years. For example, it takes China about one month to produce as much steel as they produce in the United States in an entire year. Because we've all right, that's the president with a steel announcement, and if he says anything else or takes any questions, we'll bring them to you as they happen. Uh So I want to get into this this election. Doug Shown, a Democrat, wrote a phenomenal analysis of what happened in Texas, and he said the results of the recent primaries in Texas were surprising and for Democrats concerning remember the media, they were predicting a big blue wave in Texas. This was the end of Republican wins in Texas. Anyway, the overall turn turnout and trend was much greater. Turnout for Republicans sixty two point eight percent of the U S Senate primary votes were cast on the Republican side, as opposed to thirty seven percent for the Democrats. In the race for governor, it was six of the votes cast for the Republican primary thirty nine point eight percent Democrats. And all of this contradicted the Democratic optimism that this is finally going to be the year that Texas goes blue. And you know, earlier predictive metrics that were being used in early voting, Yeah, Democrats outnumbered Republicans, but it didn't turn out that way at the end. The results of these primaries clearly show that the Democratic establishment probably needs to rethink their strategy if they want to capitalize on what they think is a backlash to President Trump. Now, Sean goes on. Even more concerning was the lack of Democratic enthusiasm in districts that Hillary carried in. It points out, for example, in the seventh district, where Democratic votes numbered only forty six point six percent of the total despite having voted for Clinton in and he makes the point the lack of enthusiasm is particularly striking as the primary there has gotten much attention for the Democratic congressional campaign community committees unusual efforts to undermine a candidate Laura Moser, whom they criticized for being a Washington insider. Now it's fascinating about this is the Democrats think they need to go left. They think they got to go more left to Hillary. And that's the only reason they lost the election. And I don't think they could have it more wrong. And as it relates to this big blue wave in in Texas, even the New York Times issued a de factor apology for predicting this blue wave in Texas. Remember, just a few days before the Texas primary, the New York Times was, you know, predicting a big blue wave of Democratic primary voters that meant the Democratic dreams of flipping Texas had finally been realized. Well then they said the day after today that they said, well, uh, the thinly veiled you know that they're going to say, the prevailing wisdom suggests that there will be a Democratic wave election in By the way, it could turn out that way. Most people vote with their pocketbooks. Most people vote peace and prosperity. At the end of the day, if the economy is roaring back and jobs are created and wealth is created and people are happy, they're not gonna really care that Donald Trump tweets in ways that some people in the media find offensive. That's not gonna matter. It's all gonna come down to are we safe and secure? Are we more safe and secure? And are we more prosperous than we've been anyway? So the you know, you got the New York Times thing going on well in a matter that suggests Democrats learned little from the twenty six team primary or general elections, Pundits and analysts seem committed to this narrative that they promoted, even when their data point data points in the other direction. The primaries in Texas on Tuesday are a good case in point. Oh okay, we really needed that observation. All right, back to our busy telephones. Here Jonathan, Mississippi. What's up, Jonathan? How are you welcome board? Very good? Sean just thrilled to death what I just heard from the president just brilliant. Move here. He is telling the companies, if you want to make steal, you want to sell in America, guess what, Bring your company to America and come make the steal here. And our taxing is going to be better than anywhere in the world. We're gonna take care of you. We're gonna give you good workers and you can come to America and make your steal here and you ain't gotta worry about the tax. See that's the brilliant thinking we need. We need in Washington, there's no He continues the fight to drain the swamp. He's doing awesome. I'm thrilled to death as a young conservative. This movement is amazing and excited to see what happens here in Mississippi. And we're we're behind you and Lug and show Man have a great day, all right, Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. One of the things that people don't pay attention to. If if I'm a free trader, but if countries like China are screwing us and there's no reciprocity to our allowing our products in their country or Japan or whatever, you know, I think with the President, more than anything else is doing here is he's demanding reciprocity. He's demanding fundamental fairness. Now, nobody wants a trade war, but I don't think we're gonna get there. I think these countries are gonna realize this is not in our best interest. Okay, we've got to open our markets a little bit more to Americans and not tax them to death and everybody. I don't understand why people never challenge the other side of this equation and always go after the American side. Now, I think at the end of the day, you're gonna see trade deals begin to emerge with a lot of these countries because they're not gonna like it or want it. That's my prediction. We'll see. You know. The other thing that you know, look at the natural gas industry was flourishing. Well, what did OPEC do? They dropped the price of oil so it made it unprofitable for American companies to drill shell or to get natural gas. And then they as soon as they're out of business, then they put the jack the price up again. But now we're moving towards energy independence, it won't matter. Start with President's tweets yesterday. Uh this idea that maybe President Obama ordered in illegal wire tap of his offices. If something like that happened, would this be something you would be aware of? I would hope. So, had a fis a court order some sort for surveillance, would that be information you would know or not? Now you would be told that if there was a FIS a court or on something like this. Was there any request made by the FBI or Justice Department who wire tapp Donald Trump turned down by a court. That's one of those subjects. I can't comment on one way or another. Please don't interpret that in any way other than I just can't talk about anything that relates to the Fiser process in an open setting. Third, the President stated, I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October just part of the election. Director Comey or a good lawyer, can you make out a great case the President Obama wire tap Mr Trump's phones just part of the election. In light of the fact you've said there's no evidence of that. All I can say is what I said before, that we don't have any information that supports those tweets. I know nothing about this. I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Unis on that count today. I mean, let's back up and recall where we have been. The President of the United States accused his predecessor, President Obama of wire tapping Trump tower during the campaign. Nothing of the sort occurred, and we've heard that confirmed by the director of the FBI, who also pointed out that no president, no White House can order the surveillance of another American citizen. That can only come from the Justice Department with the approval of a FISA courd. So today, I really don't know to what Chreman Nunez was referring, but he said that whatever he was referring to was a legal, lawful, UH surveillance and that it was potentially incidental collection on Americans. All of those cuts, by the way, our to Sean Hannity show right down our number. It's e one, Sean. All of those comments were made that you just heard back in March of sen Now we reported one year ago today right here on this program and on Hannity, Sarah Carter first reported that FISA and John Solomon was acquired to wire tap Trump. We broke that story on DIO and on television. By the way, eight days later, you had the media ripping Trump because he put out, oh, I'm being wire tapped, and perhaps not the right language, but factually he was right and others were wrong. And then you go and you pay very close attention and what do we have James Clapper denying that there was a FISA court order for wire tapping, when it's pretty I'm pretty certain he knew pretty darn well there was. And then of course James Comey, you know, he's not gonna comment on the FISER process. No evidence of course that Obama or anybody wire tap Trump before the election, and Susan Rice almost trying to justify it. As we look at this timeline, certain things have emerged, joining us to sort through it all. As Jay Sekulo, he is the chief counsel for the American Center for Law Injustice, also counsel to the President, Jim Comey is about to go on a a big book tour. Jim Comey knew about the FISA warrant in October. He knew that it was for ended to the court with with glaring omissions. They never told the FIS the court judge in their application, that Hillary Clinton bought and paid for it, nor did he follow FISAL law nor FBI protocols in verifying and corroborating that the information in fact being presented to the court was true. And then in January, he told the President elect January seventeen that well, yeah, there's this dossier but it's unverified and it's salacious. So he was either lying in January or lying in October, which which is it. Well, here's what Here was the nature of his his false statements. I like to put it in the legal term lying. It's fine, but false statements. So you have a situation where they had already obtained a FISI warrant based on that dossier. And then on January six, he tells the President elect of the United States and by the way, way of his dossier, but it's silicious and unverified, so we're not doing anything with it. Meanwhile, he knows that he obtained a FIZE warrant. Then there was the day before the inauguration, they obtained renew all on that FISER warrant with the same evidence. So they utilized that dossier on multiple fronts while they were telling the president it was delicious and unverified. And then you heard from James Clapper. You hear from all these experts who I would have known, and I knew nothing about it. None of that is true. It was ongoing, it had been issued multiple times, and it was based on the dossier. Well, let's use the legal term if you make it's been proven by the Adam Ship memo. Let's let's go let's go back for just a second here. If you're making an application for a FISA warrant, there are certain stringent rules part of the law that must be followed. Isn't part of that that the information you're presenting to the judge, that it's got to be verified and corroborated, which never happened with the Steel dossier. Isn't that also part of FBI protocol? And secondly, if you omit purposely, because they all knew that it was bought and paid for by Hillary by October exteen, if you purposely withhold information that would impact the judge's decision, isn't that making a false statement by omission? Well? Sure, but here's what they did. I mean, well, even take a step back. They and Andrew McCabe testify to this that absent the dossier, they would not he even sought to obtain the fies A warrant. So they want to have even gone to court to obtain the fies A warrant. But for the dossier. Then Adam Ship says in his oral statements on some other networks, how that was fundamentally not true and incorrect, and he's going to address that in his memo. He comes out with his memo. And what's avoided any discussion about Andrew McCabe in that testimony Why because he couldn't. He wasn't gonna make a knowing false statement. And it was clear that what McCabe said, based on the information that was shared with the House Intent Permanent Intelligence Committee, Select Intelligence Committee, that in fact that it was based on, they wouldn't have even sought the application without the doscie that Andrew McCabe's statement, and that was not contradicted in the Shift memo, And so and McCabe was saying, we wouldn't have even applied had it not been for the dossier. But again it's unverified even sought, would not have even would not have sought together or gone to court under those circumstances. Let me put it, let me throw a hypothetical out at you, Jim Coby's going out on his big book tour, if you were his attorney, knowing what we now know about all of this, knowing that he was writing an exoneration of Hillary long before he had even interviewed her or seventeen other key people in the in the Clinton email servant granted immunity too. He didn't even interview witnesses. He granted immunity to. My question is, if you're his lawyer, would you advise him to go out in public and talk about these issues? Do you see legal jeopardy for him? Well? I think he's got to be yes. He First of all, discussions he had with the President United States are privileged. It's called executive privilege. And that's why when he leaked that information with in those memos that to his friend of his to get you know, remember to obtain the Special Council, that was his testimony that that wasn't in a clear violation not only of the Department of Justice protocols. Which can you imagine if an FBI agent leaked um in a three or two interview for him, interview witness and a key witness, so they'd be fired, I guess, although with the Department of the FBI, who knows what that would actually happen. What about the rumors that some of those three or two were changed? A yeah, right, But writing a book, the book better or not have any discussion of confidential communications he had with the President United States or other executive members of the administration, because those would all be protected under apprivilege unless the government, once the President of the White House, were to waive those But but knowing what we know now that that they never followed the FIES a law to verify and corroborate, doesn't that isn't that another issue of legal jeopardy? Well, I mean the first one. Could you imagine if you're the five the court judge, how you feel about that? Where are these there are four separate judges. Why haven't we heard from them? Because one of the judges responded and you know, it's go ahead. One of the judges actually said the executive branch could compel them if they wanted to release the FISA applications. Correct. So these judges generally aren't public about this because this is a FISER proceeding. This is not a court proceeding where you have a government lawyer and a private lawyer representing the interests of the party that's about to be or had been under surveillance. That's not the way FIZER works. It's a one sided system. It's a chamber in a sense that you go in and it's it's a government, it's a secret court, we set it up because of intelligence concerns, but then taking it to the next So the next logical step is they drop in a footnote that this may have been a political research from another party, but they don't identify what it is. We may have a political component to a component to it, but they knew that it was Hillary. Hillary has bought and paid for I think that was intentionally misleading the court, and they the individual lawyers and FBI agents that signed those affidavits and the lawyers that presented that should be held accountable ethically. I would, I would be honest, I would be afraid to be in in that legal jeopardy. If I had purposely misled a judge, why do I think that a contempt or? It will be slapped on me and I'd be sent to the nearest jail and be calling you and begging for a cake with a file. Well, that's because what you would have done would have been a violation of the law. And clearly here, in my view, based on the evidence that we know, that's what happened here. And I, I said, I haven't talked to these busy judges. I don't know, but I can't imagine that they're taking this, uh in a positive way. I think that why wouldn't the president though, release it what he if he has the authority to. Well, there's a lot of real Look, I'm speaking here as the president's private council, So I'm not I'm not his not I'm not part of the Department of Justice. I'm I'm the president's private lawyer, some council of the president of private capacity. So I don't I don't speak for what the agency or what the White House can or cannot let me, let me pull you off. This may be intelligent there maybe in the reasons they don't because of intelligence, sources of method I don't know. That's outside of my jurisdiction. Alright, So Jeff's sessions, these are what my sources, and I think he pretty much confirmed us last night in an interview with Shannon Bream. You know everybody, Bob goodlat Trey Goudy, Uh, Devon noon as all these people, I think rightly have been calling for a second counts, a second special counsel, including Sean Hannity and j Secular. Yeah, alright, months ago. Right, and so what I'm told by the Justice Department is now we're working through the process. The process is the i G report comes out well and i G has no prosecutorial standing, and then the Justice Department lawyers would look at what the findings are and then they would maybe then consider a special council. The only problem is we know laws were broken already. Yeah, well that's not what's actually happened though, So what what what the Attorney General said to Shannon Bream And a lot of this is not getting reported because the way they edit the video, we're done for just for TV purposes. But he said that I have great respect for Mr Gaudy and Chairman Goodlat and we're going to consider seriously the recommendations. He then said, I'm also where that we have a responsibility to ensure the integrity. But the defies the process, We're not afraid to look at it. But the sentence before that reads, I have appointed a person outside of Washington, many years in the Justice Department to look at all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us, and we're conducting that investigation. That's not an independent account, that's not ah inspector general. So that's a lawyer that they is either within the Department of Justice or someone that the Attorney General is designated to look at this to determine and probably what does that sound like to you? You've been around Washington a long time? How do you interpret that like? To me, it's the preliminary to the appointment of a special counsel. Okay, we'll take a break, we'll come back. He is the chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, also counsel to the President. Jay Seculo is with us as we continue. Jay Seculo, he is the chief council American Center for Law and Justice and also counsel to the President. I want to go back to what what the Attorney General said last night because a lot of conservatives I know are are frustrated. They're frustrated that the Attorney and Roll recused himself immediately after he was appointed to be the Attorney General, which resulted in Rod Rosenstein making the decision for a special counsel. You know, we've heard Russia Trump Trump, Prussia for an entire year, but nobody has quote any There's smoke, but there's no evidence. And now the special council, we are, you know, are reading that. Now they're looking into the u a E. And their indictments have nothing to do with Trump Prussia. Even even Adam Shift said there's no evidence of any Trump Russia collusion. But yet it goes on and it literally dominates headlines on every news channel, every newspaper, every day. I don't believe everything you read. So what What's what happens in these is there is an echo chamber inside of Washington, d C. I've been a lawyer in practicing Washington going on four decades, So there's an echo chamber inside of Washington, and stories tend to create themselves and they're self verified. So a lot of what you read is just not true. And I'm not going to get into details. Obviously many conversations that I have or have not had the Office of Special Counsel. But I'm not concerned about allegations I read in the newspapers. What about the issues that I've been following so closely, and that is that, uh, you know what has happened with the dossier? Who bought and paid for it? How FISA warrant was obtained? How is it possible that an investigation has rigged in your right exonerations before you do the investigation when I read about you know, uranium one, and we had an undercover operator inside of Putin's network that's committing crimes, and then we still allow of America's uranium to go to them. You know, my audience is listening to this is nothing that anybody has ever corrected me on in terms of the facts. But nothing happens. Why because we have not yet had appointed a special counsel, nor have we had a release of the Inspector General's reports on this. So when I you and I have been talking about this for a long time. Back last year, when we said there was a need for a special counsel, we said we wanted several areas scope of inquiry. What were those? It was that there was the good lad and um Graham and Grassley. We're talking about the special counsel to look at the Clinton foundation matter. Then there was discussion including uranium one. Then the fires of stuff broke in the fall, remember more the fives information came out in the fall, and then we said, now the special counsel separate. This is independent from what Bob Mueller is doing. It's outside of Bob. Your confidence is going to get done. Yeah, Look, I don't have any personal knowledge that Jeff Sessions announcement of a special counsel, but you will tell you this. The preliminaries are being laid out for the American people, and he said it yesterday, and I think that this is gonna I think that the request for this is coming from citizens, is coming from their elected representatives, and I think the executive branch needs to respond appropriately and that would be the appointment of a special counsel for this. All right, Thanks, Jay Sekulo. We'll see you also tonight on Hannity nine Eastern Fox News Channel one, Shawn Tofrey telephone number, you want to be a part of the program when we come back. Fox News Channels Chief White House Correspondent Henry Ways in a lot going on in Washington today, that's straight ahead. This is Gary Cohen's last meeting in the Cabinet and of the Cabinet, and he's been terrific. He may be a globalist, but I still like him. And he is seriously and loveless, there is no question. But you know what, in his own way, he's a nationalist because he loved our country. You know, we have an infrastructure proposal in front of Congress. The Democrats don't want to approve it because they don't want to give us a victory. They think we've had too many victories. We've had a lot of victories. We've had a lot, and we're trying to have a doctor victory for everybody, by the way, and the Democrats are nowhere to be found. There no where to be found. It's really terrible. We're ready, you know the expression ready, willing and able. We're ready, willing, enable. They are nowhere to be found. Jeans co for the first time since being fired by President Trump. He's ready to talk. Nothing's false limits. Stephan. I'm also really excited because I just found out is this what's the date, April seventeen. My guest sitting in that chair will be former FBI director James call me. Yeah, that's what I said. I said, alright, twenty four till the top of the hour. I can't wait to see comyther We've invited Comy on this show. We'll give him three hours. We'll give Hi an hour on my TV show. I wonder if he's gonna come on anyway. A lot to talk about, obviously, James Comey. I predicted from day one he'd want to be an ms LETBC contributor, and I also predicted he'd write this book. Uh, and he has. We have Gary Cone leaving, we have the President talking about infrastructure and DACA and the battle against the Department of Justice versus California and joining us now to put perspective and light into all of this is Ed Henry, Fox News Channels, Chief White House Correspondent. Are you, sir, Sean great to talk to you know, my first question to James Comey would be, who did you lie to the judge or the president elected the United States when you told the judge that you had corroborated some of the information from the dossier? Ding Ding Ding ding Ding. Yeah, because because they told the fight as a judge in October of sixteen, Well, they never told the fight as a judge that they presented the dossier as if it was gospel truth. By law, they're supposed to vet it and corroborate it. By matter of FBI protocol, they're supposed to do the same, and all of it was presented, and they never told the judge purposely that and they knew it that Hillary had bought and paid for it. But then he told Trump in January, just before he got inaugurated a Trump Tower, it's unverified and sallatious. So you're right, that's a great question. Yeah. He also told that to then President Barack Obama. Right. I think it was about a day before he went to Trump Tower, James Comby had a highly classified meeting in the Oval Office, we now learned in The New Yorker has a big piece on this this week. Jane Mayer reported it. I think it was January, fifeen If I haven't right, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, James Comey and other top officials where James Comey said, Mr President, here it is, it's unverified. Here's what we know. Here's what we don't know. And again that's in sharp contrast to what they told the visor judge, which is all done in secret. You know. I had Greg Jarrett, our Fox News legal analysts, on the show last night and I said, Okay, if you are James Comey's lawyer, would you advise him to go on this book tour? And he said absolutely not. He said he is in jeopardy of being charged with a lot of crimes that you know, we'll see and learn a lot when the IG report comes out. But I'm listen, we also know why did you start writing an exoneration of Hillary Clinton months before you interviewed her or other key witnesses. Yeah, well, look, I love Greg as I love you, but I'd have to gently disagree with both of you because I don't think James Comey has anything to fear. I don't think this Justice Department is going to do anything to him. If you're James Comb, you figure, why not go out and sell a lot of books tell your version of the truth because he skated so far, None of these contradictions that you're pointing out, James Collmey hasn't been called out largely by Congress. Sure, I think Chuck Grassley and Lindsay Graham and others have written tough letters and have called them out. They've got a criminal referral for uh form of the former British spy who put together the dossier, Christopher Steel. But none of that has really, you know, none, None of it has resulted in any charges or any real investigation with teeth as far as we know right now from this Justice Well but look at look at the interview that that Jeff Sessions did with our colleague Shannon Bream last night. And Jeff Sessions is not against putting together a special counsel one sort of like an investigation into the investigators. But Greg laid out six specific laws that he believes Comey himself could have violated, and that also includes leaking classified information, uh so to his Columbia professor friends so he can get the apointment of a special counsel. Who ended up being right about that, And I reported this week we went back and found some congressional testimony and James Coley's testified many times unless a year and a half or so, and at one point he was asked directly read by Chuck Grassley before the Senate Judiciary Committee whether to James Comey whether he or any other top officials leaked out any of this information, and under oath, James Comey said no to both. Now, as you just pointed out from Greg's reporting and elsewhere. Uh And certainly James Comey himself suggested he did leak out some of this information. Number one, and number two, we now know that his then deputy director, Andrew McCabe, who was overseeing the Clinton email investigation, also leaked out information that's now being looked at. Um Uh. There may be some accountability here by the Justice Department Inspector General, as you know Michael Horowitz. But again, the Jeff's Sessions have been been pretty clear. Look, I agree with Gudy good Lad and a lot of other people in Congress that we need a special counsel. I really I think that's the way to go. Up till last night, sessions answer was, Okay, it's a process. The i G is gonna come out with his report, We're gonna see what's in it, and then as a natural course of events, because he doesn't have prosecutorial powers, that would mean the Justice Department lawyers would take a look at it, and then in all likelihood, I've got to believe, because the evidence now is incontrovertible that in fact laws were broken, and if there's equal justice under the law, then the special Council would find that rather expeditiously in my opinion. Yeah, all I'm saying is you're right to a point there. But Jeff Sessions, what are you saying I'm wrong to a point there? Is that why you insulting me on my show? I can't believe you're insulting me on my program. Well, here's the thing, to your vast audience, why why do you why why are you taking me seriously? I'm only messing with you, I know, But you just said that to this vast audience. A great Jarrett was on your TV program last night, who is not on your program, and Henry I was not on there. Oh so that's what this is all about. Oh oh yeah, Well, well I think you're on tonight's so we'll have you on tonight. Um. I'm looking forward to that. But what I want to say is that Jeff Sessions, I'll gently disagree with my friend here. Uh, that Jeff Sessions saying I'm not opposed to a special council. Okay, maybe he will appoint one, but all I'm saying is that's not the same thing as a special count But I have spoken to numerous Justice Department officials. This is how they're explaining it. That Jeff Sessions views it as a process, and that is first the i G report, Then they have their own lawyers within the Justice Department looking into whatever the i G finds. And then the likelihood based on what we know now, is that that point of special counsel would be appointed. They're saying that outright, that that's the way they believe the process should work. And if that process works, that is very smart and true and is following the facts, which is what this whole thing should be. But as you point out at the top of it of this program, Uh, the fact of the matter is James Kobe didn't do that. He was writing an exoneration letter for Hillary Clinton with McCabe and Peter Struck in others, months before they even interviewed her or concluded the investigation. So what I would say, for all the criticism Jeff what you described that is called obstruction of justice. Well, and if Jeff Session does the opposite and takes all this heat, but in the end follows the facts, I think he's going to be vindicated as well. For all the heat that Jeff Sessions has taken. If he follows the facts, I think that's all anyone is asking here, both for the Clinton investigation and the Trump investigations. By the way, follow the facts. Don't go with hear say, don't go with Dacier's that are unverified. Follow the facts. Well, you've been following the story about alleged Trump Russia collusion. And you know you're an objective reporter, you're not an opinion person like I am. Do you see any evidence you could share with my audience that exists about Trump Russia collusion? I chuckle because every time you ask themone that no one ever has evidence. So I think it's very clear that at least at this somewhat later, after months and months of investigation, there's no evidence of colusion out. You know, I will say to you though, as a friend, is there evidence of other crimes by anyone around Donald Trump? We don't know what Robert Mower has. I will add that caveat, but you are correct that where this investigation started there is absolutely no evidence of if if if there is, let the American people see it. But if that's the case, that then I would also argue that Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for Dacier that we know is full of Russian lies and propaganda to mislead the American people in the lead up to an election and then was used unverified, not corroborated as the basis for a FISA warrant. Sounds like a lot of collusion with Russia to me, And similarly, I think then that raises questions if we really care about Russia and the bad actor, the Vladimir Putin is in the hostile regime that he's running there in Russia. Uh, then I think we've got to go back and ask the question, Well, why when the FBI had an informant inside of putent operation in America that was involved we know at the time because their informant told the FBI involved in bribery and kickbacks and extortion and money laundering. Well, why did we ever allow Syphius to sign off on allowing the Uranium one deal, which basically put of America's uranium in the hands of a hostile empire. Well, and where's that, Mr Jeff Sessions, I mean exactly if he's following If he's following the facts, fine, and maybe you know, the Inspector General is going to say as part of his probe, you know, Justice Department officials in the Obama administration look the other way or something like that, and then maybe Jeff Sessions can act. But as you said, the Uranium one stuff has been out there for years. So if there were crimes that this informant can prove, remember, let's move for I know you don't watch my show every night. But we were reported back about two months ago that in fact, Jeff Sessions I got confirmed and corroborated that he did not recuse himself on Uranium one. And about six weeks ago we had an indictment in the Uranium one case. So it's back to life apparently. Well, we'll see. I mean, like you say, some of this is happening in secret. I do think the Inspector General Michael Horowitz. You know, Jason Schafitz and others who have worked with Harrowitch over the years, back when Jason now Fox News contributor was was running the House Oversight Committee and really started this whole investigation of Hillary Clinton in many ways has great confidence in Michael Harwitz as a nonpartisan inspector General at Justice. But as you also know, a lot of inspector generals at these various departments, they sit on these things for months, for years and doesn't go anywhere. I mean, Jason Schafitz and others have assured me that Harowitz is on top of this and that we're going to see a report that's going to be very, very tough. We'll see, Yeah, would you know we have to wait for a lot of things, which is frustrating to me at times. Uh. Ed Henry, Fox News Channel's chief White House correspondent is with us. We'll talk to him more on the other side. And as we continue with Ed Henry, Fox News Channel's chief White House correspondent, Uh, So, I saw that Gary Cohen leaves, And what kind of irritated me about the whole thing is he's acting as though it's a big surprise that the press that it wants fair trade and that because he said it probably in every single campaign speech he gave. And Gary Cohn is acting like he's above it all. By the way, he's a big globalist anyway, so this is an opportunity maybe to get a conservative in there, but he you know, the grandstanding that goes on at the White House frustrates me. The palace intrigue that it seems the media is obsessed with, you know, that frustrates me as well, because they don't cover stories that I think they should be covering. MH. Well, and I think that you saw a narrative come out that like, oh gosh, what is Donald Trump going to do without Gary Cone Number one? And this is awful and horrible and the markets are going to crash because of the tariffs and because Gary Cone is leaving. And while you know, two or three days ago overnight there the futures were down all of a sudden, everything even doubt because this is bigger than anyone stafford. And so you could talk about palace intrigue, as you say, all you want. You can talk about who's in, who's out. At the end of the day, there's there's one person who's in charge here, and that's this president. As you say, I would even go back further than the campaign, Sean. He was on Fox and other places, on Twitter years ago talking about how we were getting ripped off. And if he's wrong, the president about these tariffs, he shouldn't have been elected because, as you say, he's been about as transparent as any presidential candidate I've ever covered in saying if you elect me, this is what I'm gonna do. He was elected, he passed the tax cut, has promised and I know Gary Cohen and others are concerned that the tariffs are gonna are gonna hurt the economy, but maybe the President thinks there's enough running room in the economy right now because of the tax cuts and the regulation touch that Gary Colone gets credit for being a part of. By the way, let me also add one little caveat to us knowing Donald Trump as long and as well as I know him, it's all a negotiation because he's gonna put the tariffs on and every one of those countries that has kind of been taken advantage of us, they're gonna want to renegotiate a deal and that will be the few. Sure, there's my prediction. You're right, he's already doing that. In fact, I think your prediction is already coming true because what's happening today at the White House, the President is moving forward sort of but saying look in particular in this case Canada and Mexico. But I suspect you're right that South Korea and other countries down the road are getting a chance fifteen to thirty days. Do you know, in the case of Canada Mexico renegotiate an after if the President gets a good deal, he's not going to impose these aloment exactly on Canada Mexico. Period. It's all in negotiation. No, It's amazing. All this time he's been in the public eye, people have not figured him out in some fundamental and basic ways. All right, ed, Henry, thank you Fox News Channels, Chief White House correspondent. We always appreciate you being on board when we come back the battle over sanctuary states like California and sanctuary cities and the mayor of Oakland willing to put law enforcement and the citizens of California's lives and jeopardy. Will explain, and we have the statistics to prove it straight ahead. For example, the mayor of Oakland has actively uh had been actively seeking to help illegal aliens avoid apprehension by ICE. Her actions support those who flout the law and boldly validates illegality. There's no other way to interpret those remarks. According to Acting Director Home And ICE failed to make eight hundred arrests that would have been made if the mayor had not made her statement. Those are eight hundred wanted criminals that are not large in that community, eight hundred wanted criminals that ICE will now have to pursue by other means with more difficulty in dangerous situations, all because of one irresponsible action. So here's my message the mayor, chef, how dare you, how dare you needlessly in danger the lives of our law enforcement officers. To promote a radical open borders agenda cannot be the policy of a great nation to up and reward those who unlawfully inner its country with legal status, social security, welfare, food stamps, work permits, and so forth. How can this be a sound policy. Meanwhile, those who engage in the process lawfully and patiently and wait their turn are discriminated against, it seems, at every turn. How dare you vilify members of our community by trying to frighten the American public into thinking that all undocumented residents are dangerous criminals, hard working, law abiding Oaklanders like Eusebo and Maria Sanchez, who you ripped away from their American born children, and the cancer patients at our public hospital who relied on Maria's nursing skills every day. How dare you distract the American people from a failed immigration system that tears apart decent families and forces the workers that our economy depends on to harvest our crops, deliver our services, and build our cities to live in fear and work under oppressed conditions. How dare you distort the reality about the declining violent crime in a diverse sanctuary city like Oakland, California, to advance your racist agenda. Oh, let's always just drop in the racist agenda because you want the rule of law followed. We're not talking about dreamers, about data about the visa lottery chain migration. We're talking about people here illegally that have committed other crimes, including violent crimes. You know, when you look at the numbers, they speak for themselves to Despite this mayor in Oakland's actions, well, I still did go forward with their rate, and as Jeff Session said, yeah, they are endangering the lives of law enforcement and also endangering the lives of people in the community. But they were able to arrest two thirty two people for violating the federal immigration laws. Now, of the two hundred and thirty two arrested out there, a hundred and eighty were either convicted criminals, had been issued final order of removal and didn't leave, or had been previously deported and just came back to the US again illegally because it's so easy to just walk back in. And of the two thirty two and fifteen had prior felony convictions for sex abuse and weapons charges an assault, so those are the types of people this arrogant Oakland mayor is protecting. And of course Libby's cheff. She's being defiant. Uh, but she's aiding and abetting in lawbreaking. And it's also called the obstruction of justice. And you know, keep in mind of California lawmakers continue to obstruct federal immigration officials from doing their jobs, then well at that point, that's gonna make the people in California less safe. But it's and and look, you have a choice. We either our nation of laws or we're a nation of chaos. And for lawmakers and elected officials to pick and choose and openly defy the laws of the land, Uh, then we no longer have order in society. Eight nine four one. Sean is our toll free telephone number if you want to be a part of this program. All right, Joining us now is Andrew Arthur. He's with the Center for Immigration Studies. He's a resident Fellow in law and policy. Also Eric Chase, criminal defense attorney. Uh, Mr Chase, let's just stick with these numbers. Um, When you have two d and thirty two people arrested in spite of the warning sent out by the Oakland mayor, and you find a hundred and fifteen of the two thirty two had prior felony evictions or sex abuse, weapons charges, and assault. Uh, tell me why why those criminals should be protected. Well, I think what the the mayor is saying, and with the Attorney General for the state of California is saying, is that the entire effort to round up people is not consistent with what we want to do here in California. Okay, but but well, what's We're not asking the people of California to do one thing, We're not asking the Oakland mayor to lift a finger, But we do have federal laws which supersede state laws. And these are people that entered the country illegally and committed other crimes on top of it. We're not talking about dreamers, DOCTA, came migration, or the visa lottery. We're talking about people that broke didn't respect America's laws and sovereignty, came here illegally, and then they're responsible for committing other crimes, including violent crimes in those instances. Why we do you support elected officials protecting them? Well, we don't necessarily say that we don't support the deportation of some of these individuals, okay with all doers. Sorry, you're dodging my question. You're you're putting in jeopardy law enforcement because now the people and the element of surprise is gone. You're putting in jeopardy people of California. What do you say to the families, you know, like Kate Steinley's family, when they become victims of crimes by people that had already committed crimes. What do you say to them? Sorry, I wish it didn't happen, my thoughts and prayers. What do you say, Well, people are victims of crimes from lots of people, whether it's either I iimmigrants, people who are here legally, or even white supremacists there are You can't say we're going to attack something because if somebody is in this country illegally. I listen, have you how many times have you been down to study what goes on at the border? Have you ever done it? Um? I don't work down at the borders. I've I've been down there twelve times. I've been out there horseback, all terrain vehicle, helicopter's boats. I've been everywhere from the Rio grand to a San Diego office building, where there's a tunnel that was dug from there. I've been out when criminals and gang members were arrested. Now, in Texas alone, six hundred and forty two thousand crimes were committed against Texans, some violent by illegal immigrants in a seven year period. You addressed the people of Texas and you tell them why you think it's it's it's okay to be tipping off, eighting and embetting people that don't respect our laws. Tell them why, Well, the issue is why. Look, six hundred and forty two families have been victims of crime. I want you to address those families. Why criminal illegal immigrants should stay in the country. Criminal elite will Actually the immigrants who have been convicted of crimes do get deported in the normal course. And excuse me, that's what Ice was looking for and the Oakland mayor was stopping. Let me bring in people. That's not true. You don't know what you're talking about. Andrew dish On, just weigh in on it. This is one of those situations where Mayor shaft action didn't make any sense at all. I mean, for a couple of reasons. Once she's talking about the declining crime ary you want to bring the crime ary down, get rid of the criminals. The fact is advice is out looking for criminals. You're gonna take him off the street. Most interesting, as a director home it has mentioned most of these people commit these crimes in their own neighborhood. So even if you want to keep the immigrant population safe, get rid of the criminals. But more importantly, or as importantly, is the effect that this has on law enforcement. They don't know who's on the other side of the door when they show up for UH to look for somebody who was a criminal alien. There might be a gun, there might be a group of people who are there to assault them, or even worse, if they have to arrest somebody in public. You imagine the melee that would take place. You know, if if somebody were to carjack a car or try to run police with you know, firearms, chasing somebody down the street. It's just irresponsible. There's no excuse whatsoever for Mayor Chafts action be a public safety be it the safety of the immigrant community. She's just trying to make a political point. She's trying to raise her political profile, and she's doing it on the back of law enforcements. So I want to ask Eric, well, let's say one of these criminal aliens that were, you know, convicted in the past of a violent crime and they get tipped off by this unc law mayor and they go out and commit a crime against somebody else. Does she bear some of the responsibility for the actions of people she tipped off that we're able to stay free? She does not bear legal responsibility? And ask if I'm not talking about legally, but if the responsibility is beyond what we're talking about. I want to correct you on something. When someone is convicted of a crime in California and they survey sentenced immigration and the actusiation places a hold on them and they are turned over at the completion, excuse me, you're dead, You're dead. Wrong. What California does is they don't turn over criminal aliens. And if you don't believe it, look at the Kate Steinley case. Yeah, sp pitty, who restricts local law enforcement from voluntarily providing information to federal immigration authorities about the release data criminal aliens and from voluntarily transferring those aliens to federal officials once they're state criminal custody. End it remarkably this long by this will California is attempting to prevent the federal government for removing dangerous aliens from society. It just doesn't make any sense. Well, I just want to say one thing. If it's if it ends up being your kid, Eric that's the victim of crime, or somebody in your family that's the victim of crime, and you're and you're in the middle, I think you're gonna have a different and then you find out. Oh, like, for example, I know one parent in particular where Annell Alien kills this guy's son. He's working in a convenience store. I've interviewed him many many times. He's working overnight, that his name is rone Beck. And the kid gets killed. And then you find out that the guy responsible had been held by police for holding a woman hostage for a week and molesting this woman for a week, and he got to go free. And then he goes free, and then he kills this this poor man's son, uh, while he's working. So that's the type of case. How do you explain looked his father in the eye, Mr Ronabeck and tell him, oh, yeah, it's okay what the Oakland mayor is doing. It's easy, Sean to say that we can stop all bad things from happening if we take this action. The guy that killed Grant n A. Beck, the guy that killed him was in jail for years for kidnapping a woman and holding her hostage over a week. And when he got out of jail, he was set free because they didn't hand them over to the authorities. That's what your sanctuary city policies do. So what do you say to the father that lost his son that was working overnight so we could pay for his college. Well, it's not my point to apologize him in some way make him feel better. How about we change the policy so that can't happen again. How how how about every criminal illegal immigrant that is in jail, when they're released, we release them back out uh and send them back to their own country instead of releasing them back out in the population to put people at risk. How about we do that? You against that? How about if we say I asked you, are you never gets out? I asked you? Are you against it? If they serve their time and they're here illegally, they go home, you don't let them back into American society to victimize other Americans. Is that okay or not? Any time you take some protective measure, yes you're going to cause the protection you're seeking, but it has the potential of being we're broad and bringing people into people that are convicted of crimes, that are here illegally. You're gonna allow them to go back out on the street to commit more crimes because you're not willing to deport them. If we say that anybody who commit any crime never gets out, then we protect everybody from everything. But we don't want to do that, and we recognize that some people who we catch for say petty with the prior or a simple assault, and we give them some type of sentence three years. So you basically want open borders, you want full on amnesty, open borders. We'll take a break. We'll have more with Andrew Arthur and Eric Chase eight nine for one, Shawn Toffrey telephone number. All right, as we continue with Andrew Arthur set up for immigration studies and Eric Chase, criminal defense attorney. I just got done asking Eric Andrew. I just got done asking him. Well, if somebody serves time and the illegal immigrant caught spends his time in jail, whether or not they should automatically be deported uh, and he can't say yes to that. And I say, at what point then does it become the responsibility of whatever crimes these people may commit in the future, who gets the blame for that? Considering we had the opportunity to deport people, especially violent criminals. I think the local politicians, starting with Jerry Brown, Xavier pas Sarah, the Attorney General of California, all the way down to Mayor Chaff and anybody else that engages in this activity, they should be held accountable by the voters for the carnage that has caused when they block legitimate law enforcement of in the United States. Be an immigration be the FBI, be a the d e A, it doesn't matter. They should be held accountable for that, and they should be held accountable at the ballot box. And quite frankly, I think Congress ought to think about maybe tort liability for these states and localities that engage in this sort of activity and that result in harm to Americans. If you are were to run into somebody with our car, we'd be held lie and twort. Why is Mayor Schaff any different if somebody's harmed by one of those aliens who wasn't arrested because she yelled, cops are coming. You better run. All right, I gotta leave it there. Thank you both for being with us when we come back. Wide open telephones eight nine for one seawn if you want to join us alright to the top of the hour, one sean. You want to be a part of the program. Uh. You got all these Democrats now rightly so under fire. You've got the Republican Jewish Coalition now is called for the resignation of seven Democrats over their ties to screwy Louis Louis Farakon and of course a known anti Semi Keith Ellison, the number two men at the d n C. Well, he said that a fellow Democrats, they are not concerned with Louis Farcons repeated virulent anti Semitic and racist outburst. No one cares. He said, Oh okay, uh, you have the biggest racist and anti Semite. And where the covering that? Oh he meets with a lot of these congressional people. And then this photo finally emerged. I had often wondered and questioned whether or not, considering they lived only a couple of blocks apart, and Obama hung out with the most radical people in his life, especially you know Bill Airs, Bernardine dor and father Flagger, Jeremiah Wright. I wonder if he had known Louis Farakon, a guy that had taken a picture of Obama and Faracon had it before the two thousand and eight election, and he buried it and it only came out recently. Well, here is in October Acon talking about the details of his private meeting with Obama. Back did not want to denounce me, but Hillary forced him, and he gave in and said, all right, all right, I renounced Faracon. I don't want his support. I supported him anyway, and I have a picture of Barak and myself together. You never saw it because I would never put it out to give his enemies. They were looking for him. Here you go, oh conspiracy. Yeah, apparently they were more friendly than anybody knew. Uh. Look, you can go through you know his his magazine once the God that teaches me that the White Man is the skunk of the planet Earth, Louis Furricon. You know, Uh, the US is number one on God's list to be destroyed. Trump will take us on rocket chips to the abyss of Hell, he said. He said things like Jews have no forgiveness in them, just the vicious, virulent racist, anti Semite. And uh, he's also a little unhinged. Hears him talking about having been transported to a mother wheel that hovers above the earth. On the night of September nine teen, I was carried up on that mountain in a vision with a few friends of mine. As we reached the top of the mountain, a wheel of what you call an unidentified flying object appeared at the side of the mountain, and I was called from the wheel to come up into the wheel. Three metal leggs appeared from the wheel, giving me the impression that it was going to land, but it never came over the mountain. Being somewhat afraid, I called to the members of my party to come with me, but a voice from the wheel spoke saying, not them, just you. I was told to relax, and a beam of light came from the wheel, and I was carried up on this beam of light into the wheel. I sat next to the pilot, However I could not see him. I could only feel his presence. As the wheel lifted off from the side of the mountain, moving at a terrific speed. I knew I was being transported to the Mother Wheel or the mother plane, which is a human built planet a half a mile by a half a mile, which the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us of Faruva sixty. Okay, transported to the mothership, the mother wheel and friends with all these people. All right, let's get to our busy telephones. Thomas in Minneapolis, Tom, Hi, how are you glad you called? Sir? Good afternoon, Sean. Thank you for taking the call. I called in regard to a lot of your discussion of about the first half hour of your show that I heard yesterday afternoon, and your call for patients and patients is certainly a virtue. In fact, I would call it when I became a parent some what about thirty nine years ago, I thought every parent's prayer was Lord, give me patience. Now, UM, give me patience yesterday, hurry up, I'm ready, exactly. But the kind of a rhetorical question is how much longer do we have to wait? You've been on your show reciting a number of things over and over both uh, in regard to all the investigations going on as well as what the Republicans are doing there in Washington. UH, you know, it was the first Give us the House, and then we'll make a difference, and then well we need to send it to and then we'll do something, and then give us the presidency, and then we'll get something done. And I don't know what the excuses. Well, the only thing I could say, if you want some good news is you know the Heritage Foundation saying that of Trump's agenda, which is conservative, was completed in the first year. You just don't see a lot of it. We were now seeing the economy store and turn around. Uh we we You're not gonna see the benefits of energy and dependence. It's going to take a little more time. Although we're now number one in terms of producing on a daily basis. Uh. And war being open, the pipelines being built, Uh, the coal industry was saved, the natural gas industry is flourishing. Uh. So those are all big things. Ending burdensome regulation is all happening, you know. But I just want to remind you of this. One year ago today is the day that Sarah Carter and John Solomon broke the story that a FISA warrant was acquired to yeah, listen in on on on Trump's campaign and his campaign associate. We reported that a year ago, and look where that. Look at what we've learned in a year. We learned, you know, a lot of things that they remember. The President was being laughed at when he tweeted it out. And then we went from there, and then we understand that a dossier was out there, a phony dossier filled with Russian lines. And then we've had a year and we haven't learned anything, not a sing the fact that that ties Donald Trump to Russia or any type of collusion. We've learned that in the last year. And then we learned that the dossier was unverified, never corroborated, and put on the false pretenses and presented to a FISA court judge and they got a FISA warrant and Trump was spied on. And then we also learned in the last year all about Uranian one, and yeah, there was a network of putent thugs in the United States committing crimes, and we had an FBI informant in that group, and they still allowed the sale of Uranian one to go on anyway, you know. So now we're at the point where we're gonna get the i G Report, and from the i G report. I would believe that there's gonna be a special counsel. And I'm telling you, I think if the laws followed, isn't if they're a lot of people that we talk about every day, we'll be going to jamil because we have evidence on our side. Now, do I do? I wish I could snap my fingers and make Jeff Sessions move a little faster. Yeah, of course I do. But I think he's given every indication in this interview last night that he's doing a lot more than any of us know, and so I just have to take that on faith. I hear you uh a lot of things though. You mentioned the uranium deal as well as the thing about Hillery's emails and her server and being Ghazi you've been talking about for going on two years or longer. And you've also said, well, here's one other thing we learned the fix was in in the emails investigation of Hillary Clinton. There's another thing we learned in the lot. We've learned a lot in the last year, but it's not been easy to extract this information and evidence. But even coming up on two years, be two years in July, when Comey read the report on Hillary, right had all the things that should have gone to an indictment but decided what we can't charge her though. But this is a this is a new day, isn't it. There's a new administration. You know a lot of these people, the upper a Shlan people are now gone and something many more will go. And uh, I you know if look, it's a tipping point moment for the country. Either we're gonna have equal justice under the law either or we're gonna have a duel or a two tier justice system. We're either going to apply the law of the land equally or we won't. And if we don't do it, and you don't have the rule of law and you allow the shredding of the constitution with faizer warrants going out under false pretenses and lies, then uh you know that that is a step towards you know, basically, you know, a nail in the coffin of what is the greatest democratic republic ever. So you know that's why it's important and we're gonna stay on it. But be patient if you can. All right, j B is in Phoenix, k f Y I what's up, JB? How are you doing? We got JB, We got j D out there. We got a lot of j something's out there in Arizona. What's going on? Well, yesterday you were talking about the uh lady of Negotiable Virtue that was being interviewed by I think believe it was seeing him. Uh and she was described as a sex coach. Oh yeah, yeah, they sent they sent their reported to Thailand to interview a prostitute sex coach in jail because she might have the big smoking gun to to open up the Trump Russia collusion case. And and then they sent another guy to St. Petersburg, Russia to do some dumpster diving and some more heavy reporting on CNN's part. Yeah. Yeah, you were inquiring as to what a sex coach was. Don't tell me you're a sex coach. They're they're very much like the coach of a rowing team, you know, with the megaphilm going stroke, stroke, stroke stroke. Did you did you spend all day yesterday trying to get through to get this on the air, because it's actually the first call the first time I died I got through. Wow, that's a record. Good for you and they and they said, hey, can we call you back tomorrow? Okay, Well, we're glad we We're glad we got you back. Oh man, everybody's a comedian, Mary Kay, Orlando. You don't drive the Mary Kay cos medic card, do you? I do not. I wouldn't mind a Cadillac. I'd mind it. I wouldn't be called dead in a pink one. Well that's true. Yeah, thinks not my color either. Oh so, what's going on? How are you? Well? I'm great, and thank you for taking my call. I am so in love with your show and with your ideas and your facts that you bring forth, and you know everything you talk about, I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, I want to talk about that. So it's hard to pinpoint one thing, but I do want to say that if if our president would have run as a Democrat, these people who are so angry with him would be fawning all over him just like they used to. They fawned on him, they wanted him on their talk shows, they wanted him everywhere. But now that he is standing for route for values and morals, they can't stand him. And the biggest problem is people are believing the lives of the media. The normal average American person is beginning to believe that there is all of this stuff going on the collusion and and the you know, the porn stars and all these crazy things, when in fact it's not the truth. The fact is the collusion came from the other side. The things have been done by the Democrats, the liberals. But let me let me just say this, I am extraordinarily confident in the reporting. You know, again, this is the one year anniversary that we sprung it on you that in fact, there was a warrant issued to spy on a Trump campaign associate one year ago today, and we we have been unpeeling the onion every day and we've made so much progress, and it seems like it's taken too long, but it's a part of a process. I use the example, Yester, do you play any sports at all? Mary Kay? A cheerleader? Does that account? Of course? Accounts? Did they throw you up in the air and trop you? And I mean I watched those cheerleading I'm like, that's that's actually a dangerous sport. Um. I know, I always had to be the base. It was not fair. I had to be the base. But yeah, so all these people are stomping on your head and your hair and your shoulders, and I don't think i'd want that job either, but whatever. Look, if you want to be good at anything in life, it takes time. And if you want to get to the truth in a case that like this, that while simple, it's all complicated and you gotta put it together. You gotta work at it. And that's what we've been doing, and I think we've made so much progress. I am confident that at the end of the at the end of the day, the American people will at least know the truth whether or not government does their job equal application under the law. You know that that that's not in my hands. I don't have the authority to weigh in any which way or on that part of it. But I'm pretty confident that if we have people that have fidelity to the Constitution and to the rule of law, that things that I have been predicting are going to happen. And that's why I don't, you know, I don't I ignore the media now, I don't care what these people think. A right Hannity Tonight nine Eastern Box News. Hope you'll set your DVR all right.
