Investigation, investigation, investigation, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. That's what you're gonna get if you don't get your ass out of your bed and out of your car and get into a voting booth. Come this all important mid term election in seventy one days. Uh, it is getting more fierce, more tense, more angry, more insane than I've ever seen it. And the stakes could not be any higher. There's so much at stake in this midterm election. All Right, we have a lot going on today. We have the President coming up with a United States Mexico trade deal terminating NAFTA. We have the details, and yeah, if you don't negotiate better deals, you can't get better deals. If you don't say to our partners, our allies in Europe that we want a better trade deal, one with reciprocity, you're never gonna get one. And the fact that they complain that they've had it so good for so many years shouldn't bother us. Maybe it's a little uncomfortable. You know, I don't know. I lived my life in a state of negotiation. So does the president if you don't say in a forceful way that you've been treating the United States unfairly. Now there's a new sheriff in town. Now we want a better deal. How what do you think They're just gonna wake up in the morning and said, we're gonna give America more money. We're not gonna put tariffs on their products coming into our country. Um, we're just gonna leave it the way. Of course they want to leave it the way. It is, just like NATO wants us to bear the burden of seventy two cents of every dollar that they spend to defend our allies in Europe. You know, why can't things change? Why do we take it all the time? We finally now the president is doing something about it. Anyway, the President exists, the terminates the existing deal as it relates to NAFTA announces a new tenantive agreement with the United States in Mexico, one of the largest trade deals ever. Says, I'll be terminating the existing deal going into this deal. He said, it's big day for trade. He said, we'll see if Canada can still be a part of the trade packed. He said, we're starting negotiations with Canada pretty much immediately. And you know what, that's good for America. It's good for American jobs, it's good for the American economy. You know, somebody at some point, when do we start looking out for, you know, those people forgotten men and women that were so important just two short years ago in that election. Now, by the way, the President promised to do this. It's another promise made, it's another promise kept. And finally we're turning the page on what has been unfit fair trade deals that sacrificed a lot of the prosperity of our working men and women in the manufacturing jobs that Obama said were never coming back anyway. So they have a preliminary US Mexico trade deal, modernizing, rebalancing the trade relationship that reflect the realities of the twenty first century. And it is a win win deal. It's a win for North American farmers and ranchers and workers and businesses, as the President has gone on to say, and the preliminary agreement will benefit American workers fat manufacturing, agriculture, the new rule of origin requirements to incentivize billions a year in vehicle and automotive parts production in the United States, supporting high wage jobs for Americans. And it is fully enforceable as it relates to labor standards in any trade agreement, and new commitments to reduce trade uh distorting policies as it relates to American agricultural goods, improvements that enable food and agriculture to trade more fairly, and so intellectual property protections, the strongest disciplines on digital trade of any international agreement. A lot of transparency that goes forth with this agreement. So the President is basically keeping a promise that he made, which is good for all of us. You know, for all those people that don't want, you know, a trade deal may white because you want cheap labor, you want things the way they are. You know, we gotta look at every American. How do these deals impact every American? You know, deals that put high tariffs on specific industries are not good for American farmers, it's not good for American steel, it's not good for American car manufacturers. And you know, now when you add with this the President's tax cuts, you add to that the the eliminating of needless and burdensome government regulation. We're now creating in America business friendly environment. And when you do that and you incentivize companies to spend money here on factories, on manufacturing centers, that's great for the American economy, and that's great for the creation of jobs so that Americans can prosper and get their house in a nice neighborhood and have a safe car and a new car in a vacation and take their kids to Disney. It's gonna be horrible morning ahead of time, you know, and all the Oh you're looking, I mean, you wait till you go to Disney. Oh, you're gonna take Liam to Disney. Liam is going to go to Disney. It's how old is he now? Is almost three? Right? He just turned three? Okay, Liam's three years old. Liam is going like every other kid, He's gonna want to go see Mickey Mouse. My son Patrick was like three or four, he assaulted Winnie the Pooh. He would not let that Pooh bear go and every time the guy turned the Pooh person turned around like, oh god, kid, get out of here. He would not leave Winnie the Poop And somewhere, I've got it on video someplace. But they're gonna want to go, and you're gonna wait the four hours to get on Dumbo. And then when they're older, they're gonna want to go back because then they want to go to all the big rides that they couldn't do when they were young. And they're like, my son, he is like, you know, there's not a roller coaster that's been made that he doesn't want to sit in the front row of. Again and again. It's you know, the first year he was allowed on Space Mountain again. Let's do it again again. And you go out, you go right back in. Wait again, and you go out and go right back in. Do it again. If you have in trouble because I can't do rides, I get very very sick. I'll suck it up. You might as well just bring day. You can bring a bring a brown bag with you, you know, maybe take a little prevace in Tom's you know, whatever you need and whatever you do, don't go to It's a small world to never go. Don't go even near that place because you will sing that dopey song for five hundred weeks and county. It is a trick for parents. It's like some type of mind control marketing technique. You can't get rid of the dumb song in your head. But every kids, but every pair should want to take their kids to Disney. They shouldn't have that. UM. With seventy one days to go, we've got a lot of campaign news. We've got a lot of deep state news today that we're gonna get to Tomorrow. Bruce Or is going to be testifying UM as it relates to his relationship with Christopher Steele. Now, we've learned a lot since Bruce Or has been back up there, Bruce Or his wife Nellie working for Fusion GPS. So but by the way, he didn't disclose any of that to anybody. The if you look at the emails, the text messages, and the multiple times they've all met together or in communication with Steele, it is pretty incredible how worried Christopher Steele is and was that he'd be found out by Congress and exposed, even used the words he was afraid of being exposed. Remembery, before Comey testified, he talked about, I hope the firewalls hold. What firewalls? What did any of that mean? Anyway, we know that we have reported that he's continuing to try to provide anti Trump information even after he was fired from the FBI, and he was using Bruce or to get to the FBI and Robert Mueller. And by the way, he doesn't even stand by his own dossier, but they were making strong efforts to disseminate that information to influence American voters in the lead up to in November, and they were trying to get the dirty dossier out throughout the media, which they were pretty successful at. And then of course it was used as the basis for four fis A warrant applications, even though when he had to testify in Great Britain about his own dossier, said oh no, no, I don't I can't confirm any of this. This is just raw intelligence. We don't know anything about anything. Uh no, it's maybe fifty fifty or something like that, but I don't know if any of this is true. If you don't know it's true, then why would you say it's true? Why did you print it as true? Why did you disseminate it to people so you can mislead the American people in the lead up to an election. Remember, he was afraid of grass Lee's letter and inquiry that it would implicate him, and Steele appeared frantic that Comey's Congressional testimony might expose him as well. You know, the firewalls gonna hold. I don't want to get exposed. And Steal is worried about the Senate Intel Committee, you know, saying we're frustrated with how long the re engagement with the Bureau is going, and Mueller is taking Oh well, so he wanted to get his false information, the information he can corroborate himself, into the hands of Robert Mueller. And he's telling Bruce or anything you can do to accelerate the process would be much appreciated. There are some new, perishable operational opportunities which we don't want to miss out on. Well, that was in June and October the same year. Just saw a story in the media about the Bureau handing over documents to Congress about my work and relationship with them. Very concerned about this. People's lives may be endangered. What people that were up to no good, people that were trying to influence the election with your lies. I'd like to get to the bottom of all. I know it has nothing to do with taxicab medallions. I know it doesn't have to do with bank loan applications. I know it doesn't have to do with tax returns. So maybe we can get back to real Russia collusion and the Russian lies that were bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the d n C funneled through a law firm hiring fusion GPS, hiring a foreign national puts together a dossier. That dossier used to purposely lie to the American people and propagandize and and misinformed them before an election before they go into the voting booth, and becomes the basis of a FISA warrant because nobody dared to verify or corroborate at anything in this, you know, Steele saying, well, I just saw a story about the media and and documents handed over to Congress, and Steele saying, we were wondering if there's any response to the questions I raised last week and or saying I've passed the questions apparently to Mueller, but haven't gotten an answer yet. And then Steele says, well, I'm presuming you've heard nothing back from your special counsel colleagues on the issues you kindly put to them from me. Okay, he was fired for lying, he was fired for leaky. He doesn't even stand by his own dossier under oath and Great Britain, and he's funneling this propaganda that Hillary paid for to Robert Mueller. Does anybody see how wrong all of this is. To say this is disappointing, he says, would be an understatement. Certain people have been willing to risk everything to engage with them in an effort to help them reach the truth. What the truth about your lying dossier provably false? Now on so many fronts. Last week, everything we learned that he said about Michael Cohen was not true. Michael Cone was never in Prague, but he still he handed it, disseminated it, and tried to lie to the American people so he could swing an election. And Hillary paid for the whole bit of Russian lies. Also remain in the darkest to what work has been briefed to Congress about us, our assets and previous work. Unbelievable, And we paid this guy eleven checks. He got paid eleven times by the FBI. Unbelievable.

All Right, as we roll along seventy one days till election Day one, Shawn by the way, Democrats and strategist getting very worried about Democratic Senator Bill Nelson that he's choking in his bid to defend off a challenge from Florida Governor Rick Scott. Rick Scott has done an amazing job as governor, and anyway, privately, a number of Democratic Senators have been offering their unsolicited view that Nelson is in for reckoning on election day, which would be a big pick up for the Republicans. And you know, Nelson is a classic old schools Senator swamp creature and um anyway, and you know he's vastly outspent, is concerned in Florida. The National Party might have to cut him loose if a loss looks like a certainty and the market being as expensive as it is. It's been a month since Nell's and let in any public poll. Private polling, even surveys conducted by Democrats also showed Nelson behind Scott. You know, we are getting a blueprint though, emerging and detailing what the Democratic plans would be to destroy President Trump if they get elected, if they don't hold the House of Representatives, what do they want to do? They want to have hearings, isn't an amazing They want their crumbs back, They want to keep Obamacare, they want open borders. They want to impeach the president, and they don't want the deep state pals of their's to be exposed. But no, no, no, that's not even enough. Then they want to investigate the president's tax returns, the Trump family businesses, every one of them. Uh, here we go. Trump's dealings with Russia, really, including his preparation for meeting with Putin. The you know, Stormy Daniels, James Comey's firing, the firing of some U S attorneys, which he has every right to replace, the Trump's proposed transgender band for the military, Steve Benuchein's business dealings, white House staff's personal email use, Cabinet secretary travel expenses and perks, discussions of classified information at mar Lago. They want to go after Jared and Avanka, dismissal of members of the e p A Board of Scientific Counselors. They want to go after the travel band, family separation policy, hurricane response in Puerto Rico, election, and hacking attempts, White House security clearances. Let me just of that whole list, name one thing one that is going to do a thing to help the American people or advance the interests of this country. It's all politics for them. It's all the politics of personal destruction. It's all smear, slander, destroy, It's basically all things Democrat. Seventy one days, that's the agenda. Seventy one day days. If you don't vote, you're gonna get the House of Representatives. You deserve seventy one days. You want your you want to give your crumbs back, want to keep Obamacare, want open borders, you want the president. I peach for nothing. That's what you get from the Democrats, all right. Seventy one days to election day, l A Times has a piece with their decision over the weekend to limit the role that is played by super delegates and their presidential primaries in the Democratic Party. They may have just guaranteed President Trump a second term in office. In other words, we know now that Bernie Sanders was cheated, that the fix was in, that the primary was rigged. I'm literally about that. I'm not kidding right now. I literally an uh scary scary um. But anyway, so they did steal the primary. The whole thing about the Steel dossier that Hillary paid for and used d NC money because she was controlling at Donna Brazil even said it. She regretted and she dreaded making the call to Bernie Sanders. Yeah you're cheated. Yeah, they totally screwed you. They stole it. We saw it coming they did. It's the same thing in the general election. You know, the whole idea that she's paying for a document by a foreign national. He put it together by sneaking the money through a law firm to a op research group and then the Russian context. He doesn't even believe his own dossier. And this is why the hearings with Bruce Or are so important tomorrow because Bruce Or was his connection to Robert Mueller. Here's a question. Did Robert Mueller ever get any information from Bruce Or sent through Christopher Steele? Did Robert Mueller ever talked to Christopher Steele? A lot of questions for him and his team. You know, Democrats, Um, we're now seeing that. Anyway, the l A Times. In a move aimed at getting past the acrimony from the Team presidential primary and unifying the party, the d n C voted on Saturday to dramatically reduce the role of superdelegates and choosing their presidential nominee. Well, that was Hillary Clinton's safety net, that was her backstop, that was her guarantee that she was never gonna lose. Anyway. They met in Chicago, d n C representatives voted overwhelmingly to dilute the power of the superdelegates, party bosses and other insiders traditionally given considerable weight in the nominating process. Now, the push for reform was driven by backers of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who rightly complained that the superdelegate system helped bring the primary election in favor of Hillary Clinton, who had the support of most of the superdelegates. While those delegates were ultimately not ultimately the key to Clinton winning the nomination, bitterness over the party rules has persisted, and Saturday's vote was a victory for the left wing of the party, which demand into a more democratic nominating process. We voted today to return power to the grass roots, said the d n C chairman, writing on Twitter. Our north star from the beginning of the process has been to grow our party, unite, our party, earned voters trust. Well, then then if they get power then. By the way, this list that I was mentioning of what the Democrats, the spreadsheet which originated in Senior House Republican office. You know, more than a hundred formal requests from House Democrats this Congress, spanning nearly every committee. That's all they want to do. There's no agenda to make this country a better place. They just want to stop Trump. Hate Trump, stop Trump, Trump's tax returns, Trump's family businesses. You know, UH will deal more with Russia, as if we haven't had enough Russia for two years. You know, Stormy Daniels firing, Comey firing U S attorneys, Steve Benuchin's business dealings, White House staff's personal email. They want to go into everything. There's nothing though that's proposed that's gonna make the country a better place. They still want their crumbs back. They described the tax cuts his crumbs, but they definitely want him back. Nancy Pelosi has said it, Elizabeth Warren has said it. And then we know they can't stand tax cuts. And if it's so good, what did the Obama economy do for us in eight long years? I love people in the Democratic Party. No, Trump's economy is good because of Obama. I'm like, you can't be that insane if you believe that anyway. The President also released his list for endorsements for Tuesday's primaries. He's supporting Governor Rick Scott in his primary race for the Senate to take on Bill Nelson also signaled his support for Rhonda Santas So, I think it would be a great governor for the state of Florida. I also agree with that. And let's see. He's also supporting Arizona Governor Doug Doocey's platform ahead of the primary and um oh, by the way, so we have a new trade deal. It's now the stock market has been going through the roof and smashing records as soon as it was announced that we could have a separate deal, that we could put it into this deal. I like to call this deal the United States Mexico Trade Agreement. I think it's an elegant name. I think NAPTA has a lot of bad connotations for the United States because it was a rip off. There was a deal that was a horrible deal for our country, and I think it's got a lot of bad connotations to a lot of people. So the President was fixing the bad trade deal with Mexico and you can have bilateral talks with Canada. I think it's in our best interest to get along with Canada. But Pat Lahy's excluding Canada. NAFTA won't pass the Senate. I mean the only way it passed the last time was because Canada was part of it. Well, if November they gets voted on now, I would argue it's probably going to pass the Senate. And but if that's what their agenda is, you gotta ask yourself, is that the America you want to live in? For the next two years one of investigation and impeachment, and no work gets done to help the American people. None has anybody thought for a minute the impact that this is gonna have on the economy, the impact you know, it'll have on the agenda the American people voted for. Here's a little side note that was interesting that I saw over the weekend. When it comes to people with conflicts of interest, especially in politically charged investigations, it's kind of hard to beat Rod Rosenstein. He recommended firing Gomei, He appointed Mueller. He also signed the FISA warrants, well, the last FISA warrant, which you know, the bulk of information was the phony steel doscier that nobody verified. Anyway, he wrote the legal opinion and in all these cases, and you know he would be witnessed number one if it relates as it relates to anything James Comey, you have other inflix of interest. Michael Goodwin pointed out that Rod Rosenstein ordered the U. S. Attorney in charge of the Michael Cohne investigation to recuse himself because he was appointed by President Trump. Anyway, in the long slog to unseat the president, he's up to his eyeballs and everything. Trump something there. I don't have it all yet, but it's becoming very clear there's a reason that they don't want to release the unredacted fourth FISA warrant and the Gang of Eight information and the three oh two's. I want to get to the we want to get to the bottom of what's really going on. That would be a good way to start. Um, what else do we have here today? Oh? This is pretty well. Let me say about Senator McCain. I know, um um, I look, I had plenty of political disagreements with Senator McKay. I don't regret for a minute, not for a second. I got to know him, his wife, Cindy and Megan McCain choose a colleague for a period of time. I'm at Fox and even on Premier Radio networks with me and I get to see her time to time. Lovely family, lovely people. I just disagreed with Senator McCain on some substance. Um. And he was a war hero. He dis guy, spent five years in a prisoner of war camp, having his bones broken, and every other horrific thing happened to him, and he suffered it in a way that I don't think anyone of us can ever imagine. And for that, the American people are always in Senator McCain's debt or thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and I just, you know, to me, it's like, at a moment like this, you just thanked them for the good in their lives, even the forget that you know, we had political disagreements. I never took it personally. He knew, he knew we'd where we disagreed, and we'd have passionate debates over the years on radio and TV and UM. But it never, I never, never was personal for me, even when he said, remember he came back from his illness and I think it was during the time of the health care vote, and he said, to hell with these people on cable and talk radio, which is quintessential John McKain. And I admire him for it. He's being honest, you know, just like he didn't like President Trump, President Trump doesn't like him. People don't have to like each other in this life. No, there's no law that says you've got to like everybody. You don't anyway, I think, um, he did a lot of great good things for his country, he deserves so much credit for that. I thought Megan McCain's statement on our father's passing was particularly beautiful thing for a daughter to a father. And UM, I guess it's gonna he's decided that he's got not gonna be buried at Arlington but at Annapolis. UM. Anyway, it's a tough time for his family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of them. The FBI suspected agents and FBI agents suspected that hillary Is deleted emails were on Anthony Weiner's laptop. You know, disgrace that FBI Director James Comey he closed the investigation into the Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop before agents could examine of those emails. According to Paul Sperry at Real Clear Investigations, and Comey's decision to shortcut the Weener laptop investigation came despite the FBI suspicion that those unexamined emails contained the entire Clinton email archive, including the email she deleted from other devices with bleach pit. Comey's agents, one of whom was Peter Struck, examined only three thousand of the six nine thousand emails found on Weenier's laptop, which is less than one half of one percent of the total number of Hillary emails that were on that device, and the Wiener laptop investigation was shut down to despite that fact, in the three thousand emails that the FBI had examined, they found more classified emails than they had during the FBI's entire year long Hillary investigation that comey closed in July. You know, it's getting you know, all of this keeps coming out. And the question is when I know it doesn't have to deal with taxis or or tax returns or loan applications, but this is you know about national security, and you know investigators, you know, managed over the course of one week to read the hundreds of thousands of emails. Never never made any sense and call me later told Congress that thanks to the wizardry of our technology, the FBI was able to eliminate the vast majority of messages and duplicates of emails they'd previously seen. In fact, a technical glitch prevented FBI technicians from accurately comparing the new emails. We now find out only three thousand of the nearly seven hundred thousand emails were directly reviewed for classified incriminating information. One career FBI special agent involved in the case complained to New York colleagues that officials in Washington were trying to bury the treasure trove of evidence, which he believed contained the full archive of Clinton emails, including those that she deleted, and most of the emails were never examined, even though they made up potentially ten times the evidence of what was reviewed in the original year long case that Comy closed in July. It's unbelievable. By the way, you have a pro democratic firm now admitting that Trump's approval rating is remarkably stable despite quote Russia Gate bombshells about taxes and taxi cabs and loan applications. Anyway, that's a pretty interesting sign. Lannie Davis now is in full retreat on allegations that sparked democrats impeachment fever last week. Remember the media last full blown over the top, you know, all impeachment all the time, sparked literally by Michael Cohen's plea deal and his attorney Lannie Davis. Turns out Landing wasn't exactly being truthful and honest the last few days, and he's been out admitting that he made the whole thing up. If Democrats aren't angry about this, you should be. And you know why, for example, would anyone say, as a lawyer, oh, my client would never accept the pardon. Well, obviously he's not facing five years in jail. I mean, you know, viewers, I'd beg Obama for five year of her pardon if I had to good grief. That just makes no sense anyway. The Washington Post reports Sunday that Davis, in an interview, says he's no longer certain about claims that he made two reporters on background and on the record in recent weeks about what khne knew about Trump's awareness of Russian efforts, and he said he couldn't confirm media reports that Cohen is prepared to tell the Special Council that Trump had advanced knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting. That was the whole you know, insanity of impeachment all last week. See Ann reported in July that Cohene claimed to have witnessed Trump appearing approving the meeting at from Tower. Well the day after CNN's report, The Washington Post, using anonymous sources, now admit that it was Lannie Davis the pedal, the same story that con had told the associates he had witnessed an exchange with Trump Jr. Telling his father about that meeting. I should be more clear, he says, including with you, that I could not independently confirm what had happened. I regret my error, kind of a big error. It's kind of like all we heard last week. There's another I'll get into this later, but there's a a a d C. Judge is about to render a decision on a decade's old criminal case, and the decision might end up blowing Robert Mueller's investigation out of the water. We're watching that closely for you. Will get into more details as we have time. All right, as we continue eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, you want to be a part of the program. Sarah Carter and Sean Bigley joined us next. As we have an investigative report from Sarah, then this is gonna be It's a little complicated, but it's really important and necessary and interesting. You gotta understand here because Bigley represents Adam Lovinger, who lost his security clearance after Stephan Helper complained about him. Well, now we have apparently they've gotten internal documents and all they show is this guy Helper was doing the bidding of the deep state, and they've got the evidence to prove it. So sit tight, buckle up. Will continue to do news that you won't get from the mainstream media. Ever, as they always talk about impeaching Trump seven hating Trump. An election in seventy one days, your vote is gonna matter more than ever. We'll continue an hour to Sean Hannity Show. Right down our toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program, It's eight D nine for one, Shawn, if you want to join us. UM. There is an investigation by our good friends Sarah Carter and we've linked it to Hannity dot com SHOs our website, Sarah A. Carter dot com, but revealing that the documents and information. Remember this this issue we brought up last week about Adam Lovinger, and it's a guy that, oh, he lost his security clearance after Stephan Helper complained about him. UM. Anyway, so long story short, there are new documents and information that Lovinger UM had had stumbled upon, and other documents that she has been able to obtain, raising really troubling questions about Stefan Helper, who was believed to have worked with the c i A and and part of the matrix of players in the bureaus Crossfire hurricane investigation into the Trump campaign, and Helper who assisted the FBI and the Russia investigation, appears to have significant ties, we're finding to the Russian government as well as a source connected directly to Vladimir Putin. Now, when Mr Lovinger raised concerns about the do O d S misuse of Stephen helper In, he did so with without any political designs whatsoever or any knowledge of Mr helper spying activities. And Seawan Bigley is a partner specializing in federal security clearance defense representing Adam Lovinger in this article that Sarah has now just released. Mr Lovinger simply did with all Americans should expect of our civil servants. He reported violations of the law and a gross waste of public funds to his superiors. And yet we were puzzled to, you know, find the ferocity of efforts to discredit Mr Lovinger, who's just trying to be a whistleblower and tell the truth. And then on top of it, there were leaks from the d o D of false and defamatory uh information to the press and anyway. So Sean Bigley assumed that the other contractor about who Lovinger explicitly raised questions, a close confident of Hillary Clinton, was the reason for the sustained assault on Mr Lovinger, and that certainly may have played a role, but it was more than the Clinton connected contexts, suspected Bigley, who added Mr Lovinger unwittingly shined a spotlight on the deep state secret weapon, which was Stephan Helper who threatened to explos is the truth about Trump Russia collusion narrative than being plotted? That it was all a set up? All right? Joining us now with more We're going to fill in the blanks in the details to all of this. Sarah Carter, investigative reporter and Fox News contributor. Sean Bigley is with us and he specializes in federal security clearance defense representing Adam Levinger. Thank you both for being with us. Look, it gets a little more complicated. I'm just giving some of the highlights. Sarah, why don't you, why don't you really break this down, but very slowly because it gets a little complicated. So this is how this plays out, and I'm sure Sean Bigley will be able to explain a lot of his client, uh, the circumstances that surrounded his client, Adam Levinger, who is a former Defense Department analyst. Um, he became a whistleblower. He basically internally complained about some contracts that he stumbled on, and at the time he had no idea who Stephan Halper was. He just knew that it was this professor, this Cambridge guy, who was getting this exorbit an amount of money for basically writing some analysis for the Defense, the Defense Department on foreign policy issues. UM. So he complains about that. He complains about another contract that was connected to a person that was very close to Chelsea Clinton. By the way, we should say it was roughly a million dollars in taxpayer funded funded money, solutely shine. So this is over a million dollars in taxpayer funded um financing for some reports reports basically that he himself did not fully right. He contracted out foreign officials and others. Let's go back to George Papadopolis. He got wrapped up in Stephan Helpers mess when Stefan Helper actually reached out to him and asked him to help write some foreign policy reports that he was basically compiling together and then turning in his own. UM. So over one million dollars received for this. This is very concerning because it doesn't match other contracts. People do not get paid this much money. And when you look at the look at this as a whole, when you look at the amount of writing that he actually did himself, it would be like getting paid two thousand dollars a page, two thousand dollars a page for writing some of which he didn't even do himself. But we also know that Helper assisted the FBI in the Russian investigation, and he has ties to the Russian government and you believe Vladimir Putin himself, yes, absolutely, to people who directly connected with Vladimir Putin. We know this only because we've been able to obtain and this is you know, through various documentation his course syllabi for the Cambridge UH Intelligence Seminar that he was holding UH and he held those seminars from two thousand twelve up until two thousand sixteen UM. And one of the two thousand twelve seminar app UH course syllabi that we have shows that he brought to teach alongside him the former head of Russian intelligence. I mean this is Trubnikov. Trutnikov is was the top of the Russia's intelligence service from through two thousand. He was appointed first Deputy Foreign Minister from two thousand to two thousand and four, and in two thousand and four he was appointed by President Putin as to the Ambassador of Russia. But let's just go back one step before we go any further. At the point in time when Adam Levinger was discovering these contracts, he had no clue as to who Steven Stefan Helper was. He had no idea really up until recently, and you can talk to Sean Bigley about this um that step On Helper was even involved in this Russia collusion until it came out into the news. They had no idea that he was being utilized by the FBI to basically gather information on Carter Page and George Papadopolis. And ironically, here's step On Helper trying to accused Carter Page or trying to accuse George Papadopolis of having these connections with Russia, when it's Stefan Helper himself who has the most connection with Russia? All right, let me let me bring in Lovinger's attorney, Shawn Bigley, who's with us, And why don't I let you just fill in some of the gaps here. So he just happened upon this information as it relates to Helper, and then he's a whistleblower. He's trying to explot why is this guy getting two thousand dollars a page and up to a million dollars in payments? And where are these connections to Russia? How do you tie this all together? Sure, so it's a really fascinating story. And I think you know what Sarah emphasized as far as the timeliness and or the timeline of this with uh Mr Lovinger and his whistle blower disclosures is really really important because I think a lot of people at the left are going to look at this and say, oh, this is you know, a political story. It's not. This was a guy who was completely uh an a political actor, Mr Lovinger. He was a civil servant. He was doing his job and he uncovered this stuff. And so for a very long time, for about a year when we were fighting this case up until the news broke about Mr Helper earlier this summer, we were really struggling to figure out why the Defense Department was going after him was such a vengeance, And all we could assume, is Sarah referenced, was the fact that this other contractor that he had raised questions about has very close ties to the Clinton family. As we know from emails uncovered through Judicial Watch, this woman is actually a very close confidante of Hillary Clinton, and so we assumed that that was the reason for the animosity. While we now know that there's a lot more to the story and the pieces of the puzzle are starting to sort of come together, but you know, tie them together to us, what do you think it is that happened? So what we think happened in hindsight is Mr Helper was essentially being used by the Department of Defense or by the by the government, by the FBI UH as sort of an off the book's manager of aspiring, if you will. In essence, he was being paid these extraordin or the sums of money to put together what Mr Lovinger and others have termed college level research projects, many of which were farmed out to other academics to prepare UH and UH turning these things in for you know, major pay days half a million dollars, four hundred thousand dollars, things like that. And so when you look at, you know, what he was actually doing versus what he was being paid for on paper, there is a tremendous UH disconnect. And simultaneously, he was being sent out to engage with foreign government officials to conduct what Mr Lovinger felt was foreign relations, which is something he specifically complained about. That is not a a task that is legally assignable to contractors. And so we believe that Mr Halper was using these funds that he was given a taxpayer funds by the Department of Defense to essentially globe trot and develop contacts that he could then pump for information or use as far as the influence of peddling campaigns, and that was the true purpose of the expenditures. Incredible, it's incredible, shine, because it's it's illegal to do that, by the way, to use those types of contractors for foreign I mean, now, whether or not the government had a black ops type of UH situation with Helper is a whole other story, and that would raise questions as to what was really going on here. And I think only Congress can, through through a hearing, can find out the truth. But it's it's quite stunning because ironically, Helper himself, according to a number of reports, according to a number of reports. Now remember I have not been able to speak to Helper yet, he hasn't returned my phone calls or my emails. But his his seminar was actually also being funded by Russians, Russians connected Oligards connected directly to Putin. I mean some of that. It wasn't all of the funding, but a good sum of money was coming from Russia to help fund these seminars. And remember in two thousand sixteen, Helper basically said, yeah, well I decided to shut down the seminar because I think the Russians are getting too close. Well, the Russians were getting close because apparently Helper himself was inviting them. He was basic intelligence and was being paid. How was he bringing them in and trying to get them close to the the Trump campaign at the time. Well, I think for for for Helper, the he was being utilized, right, So he was actually being utilized by the FBI then to connect with both Carter Page and he met Carter Page after carter Page came back from Moscow Um, carter Page attended one of his seminars and just so happens that Helper becomes very friendly with carter Page, starts reaching out to carter Page, talks to him about, you know, the similar issues about Russia, about intelligence, and carter Page didn't speak at that seminar. He was just invited as a part of the minar, but became very close with Helper. And at that time it was when Helper began asking him a lot of questions, asking him about his relationship with the Russians, trying to gather information on him. Was the same thing that Halper did to George Papadopolis, when Papidopolis actually became suspicious of Helper and how intense he was when he started asking him questions, So what did the what do you have to do with the Russians? What are you getting from them? And Papadopolis is basically I was told by his wife Simona, no, you have nothing to do with them. I mean, you know, I don't know what you're talking about. And that's when I think at that point when Papadopolis started to become concerned about him, is there is there any Shawn Bigley evidence to back up and corroborate on savory contacts, connections and this nefarious next as you're describing, here's what we have, Sean, and I think when you look at the totality of the picture, it is truly stunning. We have evidence that, uh. And just to back up for a second, obviously we have the Trump Russia collusion quote unquote narrative that has been put out there for now well over a year. And the entire genesis of that essentially was Mr Halper going to the FBI apparently and saying I've witnessed all these concerning interactions between Trump people and Russians, there's something afoot, and then the FBI gets involved. Well, what we now know is it was a setup. Essentially. Mr Halper, who was organizing these seminars, invited the Trump people into the lions Den. He invited them in knowing that his co convener of these seminars is a noted Putin apologist who spent a decade in the State Academy in Moscow. His co teacher or co lead of this seminar was the former head of Russian intelligence and according to the British Press. A good chunk of his seminars were funded by a company that apparently British intelligence. I gotta go to a break. But you have a paper trail that confirms all of this, Yes, all of it, all of it? All right, stay right there. We'll come back and ask about that when we get back. Right, final moments, as we continue with Sarah Carter and Sean Bigley, who is representing Adam Lovinger. Alright, we were talking about the paper trail specifically, and I know Sarah you have seen a lot of the documents, and I know Sean you have a lot of the documents. What will it show and where will this end? So ultimately, Sean, we believe that this is the complete and utter undermining of this whole Russian Trump collusion narrative because it completely falls apart essentially. Um as I was seeing earlier, we have documentary evidence that Mr Helper invited the Trump officials into his seminars knowing full well that the Russians were present, the Russians were involved, and then later claimed that he was shutting down the seminars because the Russians were infiltrating them. Uh, it doesn't add up. And when you look at the context and the totality of the documentation, it becomes very very clear what happened as far he set it up and then acted all surprised when it started to exposed. Exactly. Sarah last word, well, yeah, exactly. You can't act like the Russians were infiltrating your seminar when you sent them out invitations. And another thing that we don't want to forget about Helper was Helper was also the one that reported to the FBI that Lieutenant General Michael Flynn may have had indiscreet contact or strange contacts with the Russian woman who, by the way, was at his seminar at a dinner hosted by Helper and Sir Richard dear Love, the head of m I six, the former head of m I six at the time, And all of a sudden, these rumors spill out all across the disinformation campaign across the media against General Michael. All right, thank you both for being one of us. We appreciate it. One sean full free telephone number when we come back. The President gets tough again with a little rocketman in North Korea. Tread ahead, North Korea, best not make any more threats to the United States, they will be met with. Five are fury and frankly, power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself for its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Frankly, the people that were questioning that statement wasn't too tough. Maybe it wasn't tough enough. They've been doing this to our country for a long time, for many years, and it's about time that somebody stuck up for the people of this country and for the people of other countries. And what they've been getting away with is a tragedy and it can't be allowed. If anything happens to Guam's gonna be big, big trouble in North Korea. He does anything with respect to Guam or any place else that's an American territory or an American ally, he will truly regret it, and he will regret it fast. Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. This shouldn't be handled now, but I'm going to handle it because we have to handle her cleaner. Rocket Man, We We're gonna do it because we really have no choice. Alright, twenty now till the top of the our little rocket man fire and fury, and my buttons bigger than yours, and mine actually works anyway. Uh. We know that the President on Friday told Mike Pompeo changed his plans a pre uh, a pre arranged trip that he had with North Korean leaders because the President doesn't feel that enough progress is being made for the conversation to continue at this time. And we haven't had any more rockets being fired over Japan. Guam's not being threatened, the rest of the world's not being threatened. Remains have been sent back to the United States. Hostages have been freed, but North Korean state media is accusing the US yesterday and preparing for an invasion. At the same time, they're pursuing a dialogue with the regime with a smile on its face, joining US now. Colonel Oliver North, host of war stories, how are you so good to talk to you. I'm glad to be with you, brother. You know, piece through strength works, and the bottom line is it's not moving fast enough. We made a lot of progress, but um, the progress that really matters is the nuclearization of the entire peninsula. Well, and I think what we're seeing is the hand once again of President g and his pollet grow in not so much what's going on in North Korea, but in Beijing. I think that the trade issue that the president is properly addressed with China, and they know that they're at a disadvantage in this both economically and politically. Uh, they've been now twiddling us by telling Kim to go slow and by subverting some of the sanctions that have been put in place. Chinese are clearly helping to import illegally by all reckoning petroleum reserves and the like and coal into North Korea. And so what you've got is, he said, situation where maximum leverage is necessary, as it was right to tell Secretary of State Pompeo not to go right now. And this is not a cancelation of the of the entire initiative. But try this when you when you see the response by the rest of the so called mainstream media, and I'm talking about the other networks of talking about the New York Times, it's kind of like Trump got the wool pulled over his eyes. If he hadn't gone, if he had not even started this initiative, he'd have been blamed for not doing all that was necessary to prevent the potential of the nuclear holocaust. And of course now he's doing what has to be done to make it work. Maximum pressure, economic pressure on North Korea, and that requires that both Russia and China cooperate in this thing, and they're not. But the world is not used to a strong America, especially on foreign policy. Recently, they're not well. And that's the point. I mean, for example, we have these one sided trade deals with everybody, and you're not going to say, pretty please, can we can we readego trade deals and you had a better deal for the country. I mean, when the President announced today that he's terminating NAFTA, announcing a new trade agreement with Mexico, that's good for Mexico and good for the US. And we went over the specific details of it earlier, and uh, that's good for the country. Same with our Western European allies. I mean, the idea that we pay, you know, seventy one cents out of every dollar to protect NATO, and that they then put massive tariffs on American products, and the President is saying, how about no tariffs at all for friends, and encouraged the Russians to build a pipe plan for natural chants into Western Europe. I mean, look at they got used to the complacency of the previous administration, the blissful naivete of the Obama regime, and what they got used to was good for them and bad for us. We now have a a president who's going to stand up for America. He's made it very clear since the day before he got in office. He's still making it clear. And despite all of the attacks and this president, what the end result is, more Americans are at work, more Americans are getting increases in pay, more Americans have more take home because the tax cuts and the economic advantages to the United States of doing what he's doing on trade and tariffs is absolutely the right thing. And unfortunately there's nobody in our numery so called mainstream media, and very few of our allies Israel is the exception, who agree with what we're doing. Well, it's also every report, every source that I have is we know that the economy of China is in a significant decline. The same would go for Iran, and frankly, if you want to defeat the hostile regime of Russia and beat back Vladimir Putin. You mentioned that earlier. All we need is to figure out the means by which we can get our natural gas and our energy over to Western Europe and at a lower cost than what Putin is offering it for, and not only will create millions of American jobs, but also it helps in their defense. It would be worth more than whatever amount we're paying for for NATO defense now. Absolutely right. And again, the rest of the things I find to be appalling is the willingness of our media to always strike a pose that no matter what the president does, it's the wrong thing. I'm just it's sickening. It's to the point where many of us have just turned away from reading that kind of stuff and watching it. And thankfully we've got Fox News, We've got you, We've got Rush, we got a handful of people. I'm good for something, you know, colonel. And it's not like you, not that I've done a whole lot in my life, but I'm good at least I'm good for something. Well, you got that telling the truth, Thank God you are. That's why we call it Anniti's America. Buddy, Well, why why are they trying. Look, I know they're saying, they're not saying it, but we have a list of all the investigations that they would love to do if the Democrats get back power. But you know, look, we're seventy one days away. Now, that is a short period of time, and there's a lot at stake. Impeaching the president is definitely on the table for them, endless investigations. They want their crumbs back, they want open borders, they want to keep Obamacare, and they want all of the abuse of power scandals we've exposed to just go away because it benefited them. Well, look, tens of millions of dollars being expended by Bloomberg, by Styre, by sorrows, that whole crowd out to do one thing, take control of the House of Representatives and impeach the president. They don't you know, Nancy Pelosi says, Oh, don't, let's downplay that because it scares the love and daylights out of people. But that's clearly what the objective is here. And if that happens, Katie bar the door on all kinds of things, to include a stronger America. I mean, look at my whole life has been spent trying to defend this country against our foreign adversaries. Unfortunately, we've got a very powerful cabal that's lined up against this president with the idea of bringing him down. And I have no doubt that if there's a significant gain in the House of Representatives, there will be emotion to impeach. There will be a process by which they go through to do that, because we can't stop it anymore. And unfortunately that also means that initiatives like denuclearization of a very dangerous regime in North Korea will stop that. Well, at the very least, they feel like they can paralyze the president for the two years leading up to because I don't see. But the thing is, you do need some you know, And I think Muller's working on this. I think Muller's endgame is to write a document, the Mueller Report, which will be for the Democrats should they win in seventy one days. It'll be a roadmap to impeaching Donald Trump. And that's why this turnout is going to be so very important. In seventy one Well, what's your feel, what's your gut? Tell you? I don't I don't have a handle on it. Yet. I mean, one thing that was pretty amazing is even a Democratic pollster and polling firm, you know, admitted over the weekend that despite you know, weeks and weeks worth of so called bombshell developments and Robert Muller's quote investigation, the president's approval rating remains quote remarkably stable. Well, and you know, I just remind everybody when I know, I've been flying all over the country and what I'm looking at is people who say to me, you know, I don't like some of the things he's done, but he's far better than the altar native. And that was so misjudged in the last election. Remember, right up until dark on on on election Day in st everybody said he can't win. I got listen, I got the exit pulse. It showed he didn't win a thing. It showed he won nothing, you know, just like John Kerry was going to be the next president of O four. The exit pose showed the same thing then. So my hope is that the posters that are doing the polling right now have missed that again. And so seventy one days from not my hope and my prayer is that the American people give a vote. What do you think it is? What do you think it is? Though? Obviously the economy has turned around. Obviously he's keeping his promises. He's doing everything he'd say that he do for the American people. Conservative judges, He's gotten rid of the bureaucracy, he's gotten rid of endless regulation. We've gotten tax cuts, we're moving towards energy independence. He's tough on Russia then Obama ever dreamed of. And he's stand Iran in North Korea and Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. He's done the right things. And that's what my hope is. The American people are going to look at that over the next seventy days. On the seventy one day, they're gonna outpull lever that puts in office people who will support his administration in House of Representatives. I don't I think the Senate safe at least everything I see it. Yeah, it looks like it, But I don't take anything for granted. I'm not known either, do I? And You've got to remember if I knew some bunch about politics, you and I'd be having this conversation of my year Senate office. So well, how many votes, how many votes. Did you lose by It wasn't many many. It was a three way race and I lost by about two. Yeah, pretty close. The Republican Party didn't didn't stand up back to candidate. Well, yeah, well that's what happens, you know, the reality of it better not happened this time, because people are gonna point the finger at those who undid this wonderful opportunity for a safer, sounder America. What are your thoughts on John McCain. Well, look at John McCain was a war hero. John McCain was a younger for what five terms a congressman before that. There's no doubt he devoted himself to our country. And there's no doubt that John McCain very often did things that where I think incorrect or wrong. You know, his stand on some of those things that we talked about over the years that we've been at Fox together. I just, you know, for the life of me, can't figure out why why he came down the way he did. Unfortunately, John John McCain was was a very powerful figure in many ways in the U. S. Senate. And the reality of it is John Warner is no longer here, and let's hope that the governor appoints somebody after John's interred the Naval Academy Cemetery, that the governor appoints a good, solid Republican who's going to stand with the party and staying with the president. That's the best we can knowpe for Listen, you know, I was very honest. I mean, we had massive political disagreements. I never regretted supported supporting him and oh eight and I got to know him and his family pretty well, and uh, there obviously it's hard to lose a father and husband. And yeah, he served with courageous you know. Is his story about Vietnam and five years pow. It's inspiring. Uh. And the fact is that he could have come home earlier than he did, but he chose to say with the rest of his comrades and come on and come home all together. Right, And I just can't help but admire that. After the definition of the word hero, that is a hero a person who puts himself at risk for the benefit of others. All right, You've always been such a person too, Colonel North, great to talk to you. Thanks for being with us, all right, safe home, appreciate your eight D nine one Sean as we can send you on eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, you want to be a part of the program. At the top of the next hour, Congressman Darryl Lisa Bruce Sore's appearance before Congress tomorrow coming up. Donna is in Staten Island, Donna High. How are you glad? You called? Hi? Sean? How are you? I'm good? What's happening? Well, you know this whole thing with the Senator McCain and his you know, his chap thing. I'm not gonna bash him. I I don't like to do that to the jet, but I'm not going to praise him either. And I think that this whole thing of not allowing Trump to come to the Obama's going a delivery eulogy that kind of tells me all I need to know. Listen, that's his choice. Um. You know, Lindsey Graham actually said something to me recently. I don't think he said he actually thinks he's very close with McCain. That you know, there are some personality traits that are very similar. Um, John McCain made his decision. He hates Trump. They didn't like each other. You don't have to like everybody in this life, in this world. UM, I do admire what John McCain did for the service of his country. I disagreed with John's politics. UM I don't care, to be honest with you that when he came back to the Senate floor, you know, he said, to hell with them talking about talk radio hosts and cable TV hosts. Maybe I took it personally and I shouldn't have, but um, it's neither here nor there. You know, I like to look at the good in somebody's life when they pass on, and I just think talking about them in a bad way is unseemly. I admire his heroism to his country, and he had an amazing life of service. And you know, to think that five years he had bones broken, was beaten, and and didn't acquiesce and didn't capitulate to the enemy at the time, I can't imagine how hard that would be for any human being. And so I admire all of that about him. And actually, you know, at times we got along great and I think he was thankful for the support that I showed him in his campaign in two thousand and eight and going against Barack Obama. I don't regret one second of it um. I think it was you know, to look, it wasn't gonna happen that year. That's just the way it is. And you don't win them all sadly, uh And I pray for his family today. They're they've got they're devastating and they're hurting. They don't need any more pain from anybody on the outside, in my humble opinion, And he has a right to do his funeral anyway he wants. I want to make a point of what what what Greg just said? Rod Rosenstein won't tell us when he first learned that Nellie Or was working for Fusion GPS. So I want to know from Bruce Or when did he tell his colleagues at the Department of Justice that, in violation of the law that required him to disclose his wife's occupation and her sources of income, he did not do that? And so when did all the other people at the Department of Justice find this out? Because Rod Rosenstein, I've asked him twice in open hearing and he will not give an answer. I think there's a real smoking gun there. I say it. I say it again. That whole situation, it's a rigged witch hunt. It's a totally rigg deal. They should be looking at the other side. They should be looking at all the people that got fired by them, all of the people that got fired. They should be looking at Bruce or and his wife Nellie for dealing with, by the way, indirectly Russians. They should be looking at Steal. They should be looking at all these FBI guys who got fired and demoted. Uh, it's a really weird it's it's not us. It is a rigged which hunt. I've said it for a long time. I think Brassour is a disgrace. I suspect I'll be taking it away very quickly. I think that Brussour is a disgrace with his wife Nellie. For him to be in the Justice Department and to be doing what he did, that is a disgrace. That is disqualifying for Mueller. And Mr Mueller has a lot of conflicts also directly yourself. So you know that Mr Mueller is highly conflicted. In fact, Tomy is like his best friend. I could go into conflict after conflict, but sadly Mr Muller is conflicted. But let him write his report. We did nothing, there's no collusion. But if he was doing an honest report, he'd write it on the other side, because when you look at criminality and you look at problems, take a look at what they did, including colluding with the Russia, is the other side. It's kinda be so frustrating to know that all of these misdeeds had taken place, with all the evidence, with all of the people now fired or demoted. In the case of bruce Or twice, Yeah, he never did disclose where his wife got the income from. We know that's Fusion GPS that used the funneled money from Clinton and the d n C through Perkins Cooeie the law firm uh to in fact build the dossier using a foreign agent, and then even that foreign agent doesn't stand by the dossier. But that doesn't stop people from using it to lie, to propagandize and spread disinformation of the American people to sway votes in the lead up to an election, and nor did it stop them as using it for a FISA warrant application, not just the initial application, but three subsequent applications, and Rod Rosenstein himself signing off on the last one. Anyway, Bruce Or is going to be hearing in a closed door appearing in a closed door session with the House Government Reform Oversight Committee tomorrow, and here with a preview of it all is Congressman darryl Issa, Congressman, how are you so? And I'm doing great. I will tell you never, never in my six years of heading the Oversight Committee have I seen a more easy to follow series of wrongdoing that takes you from the Russians and Fusion, GPS and Chris Christopher Steele and the fake dossier all the way to trying to defeat the president and then after the election this becoming part of the insurance policy that created the environment in which the Special Prosecutor was produced by a man Rob Rosenstein, who has is part of this swamp that created this false narrative. The lines are so clear, we simply have to get each of these individuals under oat. Tomorrow. It will be Bruce Or who have to answer for things that Peter Struck, even Peter Struck admitted that Bruce Or was in the well. The the irony of all of this is now we have more information, as we now understand that there's some seventy at least contacts both before and after the election between Bruce Or and Christopher Steel, one time, Steel is concerned about Senator Grassley's letter and the inquiry in that particular case. He's afraid that, as Christopher Steel says, he's going to be implicated in all of this. Uh Steele talks about trying to re engage with the FBI. The FBI this is in June. They had already fired him. We're frustrated with how long this re engagement with the Bureau and Mueller is taking. Anything you can do to accelerate the process would be much appreciated. There are some new, perishable operational opportunities which we don't want to miss out on. And then, of course the one that we spent a lot of time talking about. Just saw a leak in the media about the Bureau handing over documents to Congress about my work and my relationship with them. Very concerned about this. People's lives may be in danger. And then he was asking two days before Comey testified whether or not the firewalls would hold or says that everything pretty much is a go and no change from before. And then he mentioned that he's afraid he may get exposed. So, I mean, what does all of that mean to you? Because I know what it means to me. What it means is the largest conspiracy, perhaps ever, but if not ever, at least since Watergate is being little by little exposed, one that goes from Hillary Clinton to the d n C. After they did away with Bernie Sanders through their misconduct, they turned their attention to Donald Trump and they produced false information. But unlike the plumbers for those that didn't know the history, the folks that broke into the during the Watergate, this was a government operation. They used private money at the d n C to create an environment in which they were able to leverage the awesome power and authority of the federal government to begin spying and making Donald Trump look less loyal to his country, more involved with Russia, when in fact, nothing could be further from the truth, at least based on any and all evidence. Still today, and it's been an awful lot of them. They're looking for something that isn't there. I keep hearing that if we ever got a look at the unredacted final FISA application, if we ever got a copy of the three O two's uh specifically involved in the engagement of specific individuals, if everything was ever released, that the whole thing would come crumbling down. Do you believe that to be true? Do you know that to be true? I believe it to be true, and I believe the American people in this case, at the insistence of the President, have an absolute right to know whether that's true or not. It's amazing to me that the Department of Justice under Attorney General Jeff Sessions cannot seem to stop their old habit of thwarting Congress. Under Obama, we understood why they were working for their boss. Now, in fact, they're working by definition, against what their own leaders are saying they want, which is full transparency. They're not even giving partial transparency. And as you know, the Speaker of the House is third in line to the presidency, obviously Mike Penn second in line, and then the President. The fact is they're not even being given the whole truth, and that I'd like to know, like draining the swamp, don't we know that Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS was And again Christopher Steele, when put under oath and Great Britain and interrogatory with the threat of perjury hanging over his head, said I this is all raw intelligence. I don't know if anything in this dossier is true. But do we know that if he that he in fact went to the American media to propagate these lives to influence an American election with things that he never verified. In other words, before filing the FISA, was this misinformation being being used to hurt then candidate Trump to help Hillary Clinton? A document she paid for based on Russian lines? Did they cover that up? Everything I have seen behind closed tours indicates the answer is yes that in fact, Christopher Steele's job wasn't just to create a faith dossier. It was also to get it to the media as many times as it took so that they could then say the media had reported so they then could use it further as though it was evidence. In other words, like the Michael luzzakof Yahoo's story, it came from Steel, so all the bulk of the information for the application came from the dossier. Then they say, see, even the media is reporting it, but the source for Michael Izakov's article was Christopher Steel. It's circular reporting. It's circular reporting, and it's just like somebody who tells somebody gossip and then when that gets to somebody else they then use it as a source except in this case, it was used to gain FISA warrants. It was used to disparage the president. It was used to create an environment in which the Attorney General recused himself and allowed a special prosecutor to be created by none other than Rod Rosenstein, who is part of that in fact, pre election conspiracy. If you tie Bruce or is deep friendship and working relationship with Christopher Steele, and I assume you know, I would also include Glenn Simpson or at least somebody from Fusion GPS and then his wife working a Fusion GPS. Do we know for sure she worked on this phoney dossier? You know, we don't know that yet. What we do know is Susan GPS is not that large of organizations, uh, and the coincidence of her being there leaves little doubt. But Sean Hennedy, I want to give you one thing that your listeners need to hear, and that is that in any conspiracy like this, the vast majority of communication occurs in person or possibly over the phone. Remember we don't have any phone calls, we don't have any personal communication. We have prob the tip of the iceberg. Five percent or less of the communication most of it, including with Nellie bruss Or's wife, probably occurred in person one to want or over the phone. And that's one of the challenges is we're connecting the dots when in fact, most of the material was done very cleverly, as they like to say, over the trans of meaning the way spies communicate in a way that can't easily be traced. What else is there that would be available as it relates to the Gang of Eight, that would support improve this narrative to be true if the President were to declassify such well. First of all, once we have sort of the openness of this information, then the voters and and the America will know most of what they need to know to make a decision once and for all on Hillary Clinton and the false narrative that somehow the President was the one dealing in, if you will, Russian collusion or anything of this sort. The second part, and the more important part, is that many of these individuals in a real investigation, if we had a special prosecutor, as the President believes we should, we would be looking at at records of phone calls. We'd be finding those communications. We may not know the content, but at least we know how many times a phone call went between people and begin to connect the dots. They're probably leading, if you will, not just to Christopher's steel, but then to the people he was involved in, which could be the Russians. Wow, I mean, it's unbelievable. So basically everything that we've been told is not true. What do you make of what Mueller has done here? I mean, he he It seems like he went out of his way to um indict former KGB guys, Russian intelligence people, and we know that they're never going to come to the US or be extraditeed in any way. So that's a waste of time. We know he he mentioned these Russian bot companies and now a couple of them are fighting back and he doesn't even want to provide them discovery. Why do I think that is going nowhere? And really the essence of the investigation has now moved on to loan applications, tax returns and UH and the such a Paul Manafort of Michael Khan, and there's nothing to do with Russia, the president, the campaign or collusion of any type. Well, what we need to get from Mueller we're not going to get. We need equal Justice. But he has very carefully said it's outside his purview, and that was created by Rod Rosens. Guy, Well wait a minute, how could it be outside of his purview? But Paul Manafords loan applications from before he ever knew Trump is within his purview. You're exactly right, Hannity, You're exactly right. But what he's been doing is carefully saying I can't go back towards Hillary. That's not within my four square. Which is the reason that if Jeff Sessions would do what Jeff Sessions should do, and any good Attorney general would do is appoint a separate prosecutor to go back, why won't he do it? Look, I sometimes when you see someone freeze, like the deer in the headlights of an oncoming car, you can't explain why somebody would do something. I have been so disappointed that the Attorney General has neither it's called foul with the investigation he's seen, nor insisted on the other investigation. But the first step that the Attorney general has to do. And I am here today calling on Jeff Sessions, where I worked with when he was a senator, to make sure the documents Congress is asked for, are delivered in an unredacted way, or resign. Make it make a decision, deliver the documents pursuing too lawful uh interests of Congress, or resign. Well, it seems like it's heading hopefully in that direction. All right, thank you sir for being with us. We'll watch very closely tomorrow, darryl Issa One. Sean is a toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. Hi to Karen in California. Karen, Hi, how are you. You're on the Sean Hannity Shop. Hi, Sean. It's so nice to be be able to talk to you. I watch you every single evening and I hate it, and I watched it sometimes twice, and I just want to thank you for what you're doing for the country, for our president, and for promoting the truth of what's going on. Wow, you're really nice. Thank you very much. Bold to see there are still sensible people in California, I'm beginning to worry. I mean, this is the sanctuary state. Now, this is the state with thirteen and a half percent state income tax, where no Republican I think has a chance of winning, at least in the foreseeable future. But there are some important congressional races out there, Karen. If we win those, that's probably going to be a game changer. In seventy one days, well, we have to do something to change California and make her go red again like she did with Reagan. And we've got to do it. We have to do it. If you have any ideas, yeah, for people to open their eyes and realize that the state is being destroyed by the likes of Gavin Newsom and Jerry Brown. I think that's that's the perfect answer. But I'm going to count on you, Karen, will deputize to go out there and help us in seventy one days eight nine for one, Shawn Tofrey telephone number when we come back. Dr Francis E. Jensen, Professor, Department share of Neurology at the Pearlman School of Medicine, author of a New York Times bestseller of The Teenage Brain. And by the way, why do we have all these violent school shootings, etcetera? With these kids? What's going on in their heads? Hopefully she'll shed some light in until all of that. Next to the top of the hour, Thanks for being with us, Jacksonville Florida Sheriff Michael Williams speaking after the deadly shooting that took place over the weekend in Jacksonville, Florida, during a gaming event and a popular shopping center in Jacksonville, killing two people, wounding several others before the gunmen killed himself. Gunfire heard around one pm at a video gaming event Jacksonville, landing Madden NFL Championship Series and uh. In addition to the two killed, eleven people were injured, nine of them with gunshot wounds. I mean, just sad, But we keep hearing about all of these kids and all of these shooting incidences, and rather than you know, make it an argument, the predictable argument about guns and guns and guns, etcetera. UM, I don't think it's necessarily going to be a gun. If somebody wants to kill somebody or is having impulses to kill somebody, they're gonna probably find a way to do it. Um. And what is going on with our kids? Is it related in any way? You know? Do we have answers to what is going on the psychology the psychiatry behind all of this. Dr Francis C. Johnson, Professor, Department of Chair of neurology at the Perman School of Medicine and at the University of Pennsylvania. Also New York Times bestseller book called The Teenage Brain. And uh welcome. You're a well known nera scientist and world renowned and um, what is going on in these kids brains that causes this? Well, thanks for having me on and um, I hope I can help uh shed some light. Um. So, there's been a lot of science in the last say, two fifteen years, two decades that is really revealing a lot about how our brain development develops, and that the teenage brain and the late uh teenager early twenties is not yet adult. In fact, the brain is the most complex organ and it doesn't fully developed about thirty years of age. And what we're understanding two big things that might be relevant here um related to the to the adolescent and young adult brain. First of all, your brain areas are specialized, and there's parts of your brain that are um really built for risky, risk taking, emotionality, sexuality, rage, all those emotional things in a part of your brain called the limbic system. But you also have a part of your brain called the frontal lobe, which is executive controlled decision making, judgment, empathy, impulse control, organization, those are kind of what we consider our executive functions. That part of the brain, the frontal lobe, is not as the connections to that part of their brain, That of the brain are not as mature yet until mid to late twenties. So the connection, by the way, especially for boys, don't girls brains mature so exactly. So science is showing that on average, now on average they're early boys and late girls. They're about two years difference at least between um, you know, on the maturational scale scale of when you reach full maturity. So what in the adolescent period and early you know, adulthood, we have brains that have um are very emotionally charged because the emotional parts of the brain are UM functioning very well. But the frontal lobe connections back to those rum areas are not as fully developed as they will be an adult. So impulse control or thinking through things, organization or cause and effect are not going to be ready at you know, and in the split second judgments that adults can make at lessons are not how long, I mean, I'm a parent of soon to be twenty year old and soon to be seventeen year old, and I'm thinking, great, lucky me. I'm in the worst of it, am I not. Well, it's a very exciting time because the other not that exciting for dad, I can tell you that right. So, um, there's there are very many good things about this part of development. Is they need to be exploring. So in a way, our brains are built probably so that you do go out and take some risks under you know, under moderate conditions. But your brain can learn faster in this window and actually your i Q can change in your teen years. Science is now shown. So it's a time when you're building better connections between your brain cells, which you're called neurons. They have connections called synapses. You actually can build synapses faster and you know, stronger in this age window. Now, the down the good side of that is that they can learn fast, but the downside is that they can get um, they can learn bad things fast in this window too. So addiction, actually we've learned ner of science is now shown. It's simply a form of learning. So when people get addicted to drugs or even video games for instance, it's using this reward circus in circuit and creating um connections at a much higher rate and much stronger. Well, I gotta be honest. I mean my adult my my son in particular, you know, spends a ton of time playing Xbox now, he plays everything for Madden Football, NBA games, Call of Duty. I mean, they play at all, and um, I don't I'd rather have them playing Xbox than going out drinking and hanging out with kids that are in trouble or whatever else they might be doing. Sure, so they become experts of video games a lot faster than adults do because they can learn a lot. It's annoying he doesn't even have the patience to teach me how to get the first base on these things, like I'll do it, I'll do it. That's right, that's right. And and of course we as parents look at them and just marvel at that, but then can't understand why they go ahead and do things so you know, we would say, are obvious not to do. And that's why we call these, you know, teenagers sort of ferraris with weak breaks that we the braks, meaning their frontal lobes. But their brains are very very active, so they need us as adults too. We have our frontal lobes in place and connected fully, and we have to be sort of give them up frontal lobo sift if you will, from time to time. And that goes on an individual basis, but I think you know, across society we need to think about this rather tender age where they are very impressionable. They learned super fast for good and bad things, and yet their ability to um decision make is not what you have not given me any hope at all. I mean, you're basically saying, sorry, your kid's brains are underdeveloped as it relates to impulse control, and it's going to be that way until probably the twenty five thanks a lot. That's not what I wanted to hear. So what you would like to hear is that you can't teach them how to be under better. That would assume that they listen to me, and you know, they might hear me, but they don't listen. So one of the big messages that we are giving now about for parents and and everybody in general who interacts with teenagers is to be mindful if they are not adults with fewer miles on them, And so we have to kind of have that insight when you're relating to um to a teenager, And I always say, you know, if if possible, try not to alienate oneself from a teenager, because then they really won't listen to it. Well, why can't they just follow the simple rules I lay out for them and not break the rules? Well, you know when you actually go through the process and role play with them, that you do a lot play as a teaching you know, as you can teach. Now I can go back to when I was being raised, you know, there was no role playing except my father. I did something wrong, he took off his belt. He beat the crap out of me. Now, I've never done that to my own kids, but that was the extent of role playing in the home I grew up in. Well, you know, our our experience as teenagers, you know, X number of years ago, it's very different to the very challenging environment that our teenagers are in now. Teenage brains have been the exact same brain for the last you know, millennia. But that's what I'm afraid of. His teenage brain is exactly the way my teenage brain was, and that's not good for anybody. So, um, the issue is the environment around the teenagers is offering them a lot more risks to take, if you will, And we have to kind of think about that, like what what do they have you know at the ready that they may or may may not make good decisions about how accessible are you know, drugs, weapons, all these other things in the environment, knowing that they have, you know, this propensity for um for impulsivity. Another thing that I think we need to think about in the teenage but a lot of people it's news to them, is that mental illness um is actually a developed is largely developmental, in that you know, one in four to one in five people in our country have some form of mental illness, ranging from something mod like anxiety, all the way up to you know, a more serious disease like bipolar or schizophrenia, psychosis. And it's interesting that the time when these diseases, these disorders come on is in late teens and early adulthood because they require a certain amount of brain development, meaning to your frontal lobes, to actually fully manifest. So one of the issues is that about seventy people who have mental illness have their onset between sixteen and twenty six years of age. And I think that we not that we have this science that shows us that and why that's happening. We might want to think about screening people. We screen for colon cancer in fifty year old plus breast cancer prostates. If you would have examined me when I was seventeen, I can tell you right now I would have been off the charts, you know, lock them up. Well, I think you you may have proven that wrong, but wow, I mean my mother used to say it was either going to be prison or success, that'd be know in between. So well, I think in structured environments for kids. Learning environments are really important this winter. Remember I said your IQ can change in your team years, and so you're setting this person up, you know, basically with scaffolding for the for the more eloquent parts of their brain are being built in the teen years. In other words, you're basically saying we need to put a trampoline in a net underneath them because they're gonna fall through it in all likelihood. Well, you did you? Did? You? Did you not do anything wrong when you were a teenager? I mean I was in trouble, did wrong things, I think, But I don't think you were as incoorageible as I am. I've believe me. I know of many people that survived through this window. I do think though, that you're going to get extreme cases, um, where things go extremely wrong, and most people will through trial and error. And now trial and error is exactly that you know. Your brain is learning by making small mistakes, hopefully small and not highly What was the worst thing you did as a teenager with you know, when your brain wasn't fully developed. I'm going to take the fifth on that, but I would say, come on, what what's the worst thing you did? I don't think you ever gotten any trouble. I can tell you I did. So I think that people um in this window are we we couldn't. We shouldn't be too surprised when kids do get in trouble. And that's what I say to parents is that you know, to be a little bit more understanding and not alienate your kid, because then you aren't going to be able to sort of work them out of you help them reason their way out of situations, or to learn new skills to not go there again. Um. And at that I think is very important. Well, well, what about on a serious know all these kids that play these, say, violent video games, or see violent movies. Do you think it impacts them negatively? Or you know, kids understand that that we know that our brain we have we have something called plasticity, our synaps as. We call it plastic because they're multiple by experience. So yes, we are very We know in earlier parts of childhood that if you are exposed to a stressful event, that you actually can suffer consequences as a result of that. There is emerging evidence the same in adolescents. One thing that is very interesting, um from what I was saying about the fact that their um emotional parts of their brain, their limbic system is is sort of connected up before several years ahead of when their frontal lobe finishes its full connections. You show a teenager an emotionally charged scene and you're measuring their brain function. They actually show almost twice as much activity in their limbic system as does an adults shown the exact same stressful scene. So we know that they're more vulnerable to the effects of stress, and certainly they're picking it up. They're experiencing um, you know, emotion. I always say in technicolor to our black and white. So we have to realize that this is sort of a highly emotional period of sort of responsivity and this age group and that that will pass, but it is managing the environment. Um and all right, I think you've given us a lot of good tools as it relates to helping kids. It's just scary to be a paranount. There's so many bad influences. Uh, doctor, thank you for being one of us. We appreciate it. And then next time you can tell us all the horrible things you did when you were a teenager. Now, so remember, knowledge is power and um, as parents and teachers and counselors understand and learn this new brain science of what we're when did you when? Did you? When? Do you think your frontal lobe kicked in when you were acting rationally? Completely? I think we're all getting there in our twenties. I think you see a lot of changes of people who need to take gap years, people who need to, you know, reorganize themselves. It's a very very active time. And as I said, the brain isn't done yet until you're close to thirty, which is it's it's actually can be a very positive message. I don't think when thea our producers bray is fully formed because she says anything that comes into her head. It's funny. I was just thinking the same thing about you. She has have like a sixty year old boy. She has major impulse control when it comes to using cuss words. I'll tell you that. No, I think, I think hard and long about which you welcome. Is any medicine you can give her or offer. He's on my side. You're gonna lose this one, no one, and one last thing I would say, um, just about another piece of information that often is relevant for people is that you know, peer pressure effects are very very strong in this win. I agree. So so kids should not have any friends at all. I agree keep them away from their friends. Sorry about you know the effects of social media in terms of bringing bringing social isolation or or actually the wrong social context into the lives of these of kids. So I think there's a you know, a huge amount we kind of have to think about as a at parents in the society around teenagers because you know, sometimes you worry that people sort of are playing with fire when they're on right. I'm up about a heartbreak. We thank you, Dr Jensen, appreciate your being with us. Eight one, Shawn told free telephone number. I hope that helps as it relates to you know, what's going on inside your kid's brains. It's scary, right, Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel.
