All right, glad you with us right down our toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. Oh, we have so much. Democrats are beginning to see this is a disaster. And I'm gonna explain why we know, and how we know, and how bad this is going to get for them. I'm gonna tell you something. I am extraordinarily pissed off at what we now have to live through now going into a third year of never ending, NonStop impeachment madness. These people on the left, these Democrats, they have not lifted a finger and I have not done a single solitary thing to help make this country safer, better, more secure, to create jobs, to create opportunities, to create a better America. This is now. You know, you have to be really psychotic and sick now to be where they are here. And I'm telling you it's hurting the country after this shift show we had yesterday, And that's exactly what it was, and that's exactly what you're thinking, and it is it is a It is hurting the country at this point. We now are in three hundred and fifty five days away from an election, and they're still pursuing this insanity and this madness. You know, because they've never accepted that Donald Trump won. They tried every sneaky, dirty trick they could pull. You know, they rigged an investigation to keep this one candidate healthy, the favored candidate. They act like. You know, you have to bifur kate your brain. This is how sick, ugly, psychotic, rage filled twisted your mindset has to be. If you're a member of the medium mob or you're a part of this Democratic Party, you literally have to compartmentalize, bifur kate your brain. You have to abandon all reason, all kinds and sense, all intellectual honesty, and frankly, all intelligence, and you have to be willing to absorb and become the biggest moost transparent hypocrite on the face of the earth. To get where these people are today, you have to say, well, we knew to not have foreign Russian election interference, for examinations into it, no evidence of Trump. But in the meantime, you ignored the Clinton bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier that was used to influence the American voters in twenty sixteen, and now we also know was used to get a FISA warrant that the night an American citizens constitutional rights, but more importantly, an opportunity to spy on all things Trump campaign, transition and even the President of the United States. You got us start realize this is now hurting the country on every deep level, beyond the fact that if they ever win, we got what a ninety four trillion dollar new Green deal, medicare for all fifty two trillion, no private insurance, no cars, no gas, no oil, no cows, no planes, and everything's free. It's insanity. But then you got to bifurcate your brain and shut it off again, and you absorbed that you're a hypocrite because you're gonna go, all right, well, we didn't get Russia collusion, not even from Muller. We didn't get the election results we wanted. Oh we're mad. Now they've never gotten over that part. And then trying to undo the presidency a duly elected president from the get go. Then they get into this phony. You know, way do we get to the end? One day? Maybe we'll get there, maybe we'll get to the origins of the Russia investigation. But I mean, seriously, we now have to be a Democrat or a member of the mob. You've got to ignore the rigged investigation into Hillary because I think all of you and me, yeah, we'd go to jail if we did what she did, if we literally put top secret classified information on either bring it home like other people did, are on a server, or that you would destroy subpoena evidence. I think Sean Hannity goes to jail, you know. Or if an investigation determined Sean Hannity lacked candor being interviewed by the FBI, I'd go to jail. If I committed premeditative fraud on a FISA court, I'd go to jail. The evidence is overwhelming in these cases, is incontrovertible in these cases. If I illegally surveiled on masked leak raw intelligence, I'd go to jail. If I conspired to outsource spying activities on my fellow Americans, I think I'd go to jail. I'm involved in a counterintelligence effort that abuses the powerful tools of intelligence that are designed to protect us and used it against political adversaries. I'd go to jail. If I bribed a foreign country with a billion US tax dollars to force them to take an official action and fire a prosecutor who they were who? Because my son was being a investigated by the guy. You get a billion if you fire him. You don't fire him, you don't get a billion. You got six hours for zero experience hunter to keep getting paid millions. I think I'd go to jail for that. Now we're starting out, and I started this on Twitter today because I am this pissed off, and to be honest, Senator Cornyn of Texas is the one that kind of put me in this mindset because I'm reading his comments about, oh, we don't think we have the fifty one votes to cut the case off before the evidences presented. He said, okay, well if that's true, Senator Cornyn. By the way, only one senator so far as responded, we're calling their offices. I want to know the answer to simple questions. Are you going to allow the shift sham show in the House of Representatives where hearsay evidence from so and so's somebody's brother's sister's grandfather's cousin's wife, nephew niece adopted da da da da. That's not evidence. This idiot yesterday Quigly, oh wait, talking about there's many cases where Hearsay evidence is so much better than direct evidence. You dope, you know what I mean? How dumb do you have to be? Countless people? I don't want to hear it. I've done in a mood, you know. But here's my question of Cornin and every other Republican senator? Are you going to allow an impeachment trial to go forward with hearsay evidence? I want an answer to that question. I want every senator to answer it. Are you going to allow this shift show in the House into the US Senate? Are you really going to let that happen, assuming these people are so stupid that they let this continue. Are you going to allow an impeachment trial where the accuser, as I hearsay, not by any legal definition, whistleblower, non whistleblower. Really, are you gonna set a precedent where the President of the United States, in a trial in the Senate would not have the right to confront their accuser. Because I want answers to these questions. I want to know what's coming if these people are as stupid as I think they're capable of being stupid. Now, there's a lot of anecdotal evidence that this is bombed for them, not the least of which are television ratings. Look, you had all three networks, ABC, NBC, CBS. They went wall to wall ten to four yesterday with the Shift Show, and guess what it was a ratings disaster for all three of them. Put it this way, the Fox News Channel cable news, not broadcast, literally crushed all three broadcast networks, all three of them. In the case of NBC versus the Fox News Channel more than doubled or close to doubled. Their number was million more households than ABC and CBS. This is a disaster now for TV. I told you this was going to be yesterday what this would turn into. And as far as as as news ratings, yeah, Trump supporters were pissed off and rightly so last night because they see this as a never ending, non stop which hunt. You know what a visual yesterday the President of the United States, No, I didn't have time to watch it because he's with the president of Turkey, President Urduan, who I am not a big fan of, And I don't think it's been a great ally at all to the US dealing with serious issues involving Syria that region of the world. The NATO Alliance they've not been there when we've needed them, etc. Etc. And there is you know, I'm just it is really frustrating that they do nothing for the American people. They do nothing for the for the forgotten men and women. They destroyed the lives, thirteen million more Americans on food stamps, eight million more in poverty, the lowest labor participation rate since the seventies, you know, and the worst recovery since the forties. Lowest home ownership rate in fifty one years. That's when we got Biden. Obama. Trump comes in. We have the best employment situations in nineteen sixty nine. The guy checks off the list. Tax cuts done, biggest in history, deregulation biggest in history. Okay, I'll do the border wall this way because they're not gonna help me, even though they sounded like me in the second term of Obama. Check new trade deals Japan and Mexico and Canada and our European allies, and now a half a deal with China, energy independence and what they want to get power so they can ram the new Green Deal down our throats, Medicare for all, down our throats. Washington Post today in a you know, literally, which was pretty interesting even for them. You have a quote where screwed literally in front of the television cameras. House Democrats. They hope to paint a clear picture of a president who sought to bribe, e storic condition or coercive foreign government to improperly interfere in our elections by investigating his political rival. A Democratic aide told reporters privately, Democrats are confessing that they're made for TV. Moment never materialized. Where screwed? This week? On hearings, a Democratic aide telling the Washington Post, no bombshells, no revelations. The onus was on us to wow some people. This week. Other Democrats quoted bright Part, it was a total disaster for us. One senior House Democratic aide telling bright Part news too complicated. Another Democrat, this won't make sense to regular It doesn't make sense. None of this makes sense because they're the same I gotta slow down here, because they're the same people that have been lying to you for three years about Trump Russia collusion, the same people They were fine that they rigged an investigation to save their favorite candidate. They care about Trump Russia collusion, except they'll ignore the dirty dossier of Hillary Clinton. I mean, what a bunch of hypocrites they care about foreign election interference. Okay, well, let's look at Ukraine, because we know DNC operatives met at the Ukrainian embassy. Just read Politico Ken Vogel nine to eleven, two and seventeen and it says, yeah, they met at the Ukrainian embassy at DNC contractor, and yeah they were colluding to get dirt on Donald trumpet associates. And yeah they were effective because they got Paul Manifort in that way and hurt the Trump campaign. You would think, oh, they don't care about that either. Everything is just to destroy Trump. And you know here they're saying, whoa quid? Pro quos are terrible. You can't bribe, you can't extort, you can't shake down. Well, what is Joe Biden doing on tape when he brags about we're not giving you the money. No, you fired that prosecutor. Yeah, I'll give you the money. Fire the prosecutor, get a billion dollars. Don't fire me. You don't get a billion the prosecutor. He's told by everybody's investigating his son. Yeah, I think we'd go to jail if we did that. And We've identified those crimes repeatedly to people, and this is what it means, do nothing for the American people, never ending conspiracy theories and lies and one hoax after another, the sham show trials that they're putting up there with a compromised, corrupt, coward, congenital liar, a fact witness by the name of Adam Schiff in the case you're gonna now, it's all hearsay. There's no direct evidence, neither one of these idiots. Yesterday, I've ever talked to the president or anybody close to the president. Well, I think my aid might have heard a no conversation. Well, the person that supposedly heard the conversation said, yeah, the President said directly, I don't want to quit pro quo. Oh okay, Well, I guess that doesn't work either. And I am saying that this is her, the country, and at some point this has got to stop, you know, I guess the only way we're gonna stop this is in three hundred and fifty five days, we're gonna have to suck it up. We're gonna have to suck up more smears, more lies, more conspiracy theories, more abusively biased coverage, We're gonna have to suck up the smearing, the besmirchment, the slander, the libel, the absolute psychosis that is the Democratic Party and their friends, their allies, the mob in the media. But I'll tell you, if you love the country, you can't love watching this this shift show every day on fold. It's hurting the country. And I want to hear from us senators today. It's all on Twitter and we're calling your offices, and I want to know if you're gonna allow hearsay, if if you're gonna allow hearsay to be presented as quote evidence, if this ever gets to you, I want to know if you're gonna allow a trial without somebody having the right to face their accuser. Simple questions, John Cornyn, I'd like answered. And by the way, Senator Burr and Frankly, Senator McConnell, Lindsey Graham's the only one that answered. He said, Nope, I'm with you. I agree. We're not going to change what has served this country for all of these years, a constitution and a rule of law, just because we don't want to be disliked by a corrupt media mob. And the Democrats will say bad things about us. Get over yourselves, all right? As we roll along Agia. While I'm trying to call sources, I'm trying to get information done. So I don't think it's too much to ask that these Republicans in the Senate now stand up for what has worked for this country and our rule of law for a long time. That is the right to confront your accuser. That means inadmissible hearsay evidence. Mitt Romney, are you going to support that? Because if you are, maybe one day that boomerang's back on you because they have so political as sized and criminalized. Now what are basic political differences here? But I am telling you, if that's the case, just it's over. It's done. The United States as we love it and know it and believe in it is finished. You know. Now another delay with the inspector General reportment. I mean, this is not even it's just pathetic. At this point. I gotta get Harrowitz's number. I dot it'll take my call. I mean, how many people do you need? How many people does it take to turn to put in a light switch or put in a light bulb? Not that many? Probably? You know you have six hundred employees. You think you'd be done now because the case is slam dunk. Ready, we'll continue, all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour, eight hundred nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the problem. Wow, look at this. James just brings this into me. Wow. All right, So now we have we we're now asking the Senate. We we know it's a shift show. You got to compromise corrupt, congenital liar running the shift show with no due process, and they tried to make the appearance of it, but none of it's true. It turns into a disaster yesterday for them by every single solitary measure, a disaster. And I don't know what these networks are going to do. They can't stay on the air with numbers this pathetically low in terms of ratings. Nobody wanted to see their crap. But I'll tell you now, I'm asking us senators very simple fundamental questions. Are you going to allow the shift show to move over to your body or are you going to protect the rule of law, the constitution, due process, equal justice, equal application, or are you going to allow what they're doing over there to take over in the US Senate I'm by the way, I'm addressing you, Mitch McConnell, I'm addressing you John Cornyn, and I'm addressing you Senator burn North Carolina in particularly as you guys seem just hell bent. Don't allowing them. We've got to have this trouble. What do you mean you got okay if you're gonna have a trial if it gets to you, are you going to allow the shift show to continue over there? In other words, I want answers to simple questions. Are you going to allow hearsay and conjecture to be admissible evidence in the United States Senate? I want a yes or no answer. Are you going to allow an impeachment trial to continue where the main accuser gets to be anonymous? That isn't, by law a whistleblower, only a hearsay whistle blower, a non whistle blower whistle blower. And in other words, are you going to set a precedent in the US Senate? And are you going to allow a president and his attorneys the right to confront the accuser because that's not happening in the US House of Representatives, because the compromise, the corrupt, the coward, congenital liar is in charge of everything. He makes every decision possible, and all due process that we have come to expect in this country has been thrown out the window. Republicans can call witnesses and left Shift approves it. Republican. He's even coaching the witnesses yesterday for crying out loud. I mean, that's how bad this gets. So, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina answers me questions. No. Absolutely not dead on a rival without the right to confront your accuser. Dead on a rival, he says, as it relates to hearsay evidence being allowed as evidence and reducing a standard that nobody's ever accepted. Now we have North Carolina Senator Tom Tillis has contacted us and responded. I'll give you his full response. He said, he's just actually talked to Capitol Hill reporters about the very point that Sean is making. He strongly believes the President Trump should be able to face his accusers and the President's legal team should be able to question the so called whistleblower before the Senate, especially since the House is refusing to provide the president with these basic due process rights. Wow. Republican Senator Tom Tilla says he would he would not vote to support an impeachment trial process that shields the whistleblower from being called to testify publicly. And he says the whistleblower is the original accuser and should have to testify. Thank you, Senator Tillis. Thank you, Lindsey Graham. Senator Wicker has now responded to us from Mississippi. Senator Wicker has called out the House Inquiry repeatedly for lack of due process. Here is the press release that he issued on the day of the House formalized their procedures where there's no due process. Wow, good for you, Senator, Thank you for sending that. We appreciate your answer. Look at this. Senator Ben Sasser not mcdactly been getting along lately. Senator Ben Sass office has responded for month. Senator SaaS has said that Adam Schiff is running a clown show in the House. Now we are going to have to get specific answers. But thank you Senator SaaS and Nebraska for answering and standing for the real rule of law. You know, don't we tell me. You don't even tell your kids not to gossip. Let me tell your kids. Um, yeah, if you can't have hearsay if an evidence is inadmissible, is idiot yesterday? You know, Oh, sometimes hearsay is better than direct evidence. You dope, Nope, that never is that the case ever under any circumstances. But it's inadmissible in a court, you idiot. What is wrong with these people? You know, we got Democrats now in the House impeaching the president based off of gossip, based off of hearsay, from hearsay to hearsay to five hearsays, you know, removed. None of these people ever spoke to the President of the United States. The one guy that did was the guy that actually said the President was very very clear, this is uh. The The European Union ambassador sonlod confirming the confirmed numerous times in his testimony that the President clearly stated I want no quid pro quo. And these guys yesterday are quoting Sonlon as their source for all of this madness. And I'm watching these guys, I'm like, well, the level of self importance is a little obnoxious. Frankly, I mean, these guys, with all due respect, I mean I never really thought much about what ambassadors do. It's kind of ridiculous. That they think they're that mighty and that powerful. That's why, you know, when this this this lady Maria what was her name, I have to look it up. Ivanovic started saying, well, Sean Hannity was smearing me, but the Mike Pompeo called Sean Hanny. No, Mike Pompeo never called Sean Hannity. Nobody from the State Department called Sean Hannity. And she's saying, she's saying all these things about me, and I'm like, I don't even I know nothing about this woman. I know nothing about Ukraine. I've never talked to anybody in Ukraine ever in my life. It's not the only issue I cared about. What Ukraine was Joe Biden bragging, you know, and leveraging our money billion dollars. Fire the prosecutor. You're not getting the money if you don't fire him. Okay, why because the prosecutor was investigating his son, because his son had zero experience. It was being paid millions and millions and millions of dollars. Yeah, that I cared about because you know, if it was Donald Trump vice president, it would be a very different story. And this is now where we are. By the way Ted cruz office just said no comment at this time. Called Ted Cruz's office back. That's not an acceptable answer, but it called out, I'm serious, called him back right now. I don't believe Ted. I do not believe Ted Cruz at would would ever say that at all. Anyway, then you have vulgar testify he didn't get any indication of any quid pro quo. Then you've got, of course, yeah, you actually have the Ukrainians. Yeah, well, the president Zelinski told these two guys whoever the hell self important people yesterday, told them the day after, and in two subsequent meetings. Oh no, that went great with the President of the United States. That went really, really well. By the way, we got new comments in from the Ukraine's foreign minister that demolish the Democrats quid pro quo claim. Well, first of all, they never took any action in other words, as it relates to either the election interference, which, by the way, the president is faithfully executing the laws that Democrats told us for three years they cared about foreign election interference. We actually have real evidence there that a DNC contractor went to the Ukrainian embassy. It's in Politico and met with Ukrainian officials for the purpose of collusion to help Hillary Clinton and dig up dirt on Trump and his associates. Anyway, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, I don't know how to say any of these guys names, Vadeem Price, Tako, I guess or something like that, said Thursday that the US ambassador, you, Gordon Sonlin, did not link financial military assistance to request for Ukraine to open up an investigation in a Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Ambassador Sonlin did not tell us and certainly did not tell me about a connection between the assistants and the investigation. That's the other thing, you know, at the end of the day, the money got to them. They never did a President Zelinski did nothing, said nothing publicly on any of this. I mean, it's this is why this is so destructive. This is you know, this is not funny anymore. This is now almost three straight years of this garbage. In this crap. You know my timeline, and we put together two days after the president's elected in Peach, all through twenty seventeen, in Peach, twenty eighteen, in Peach twenty nineteen, in Peach, are you kidding me? You know, Zolenski never knew that AID was held up. He's a new president. There's a hell of a lot of corruption that goes on in this country. You know. Never in that phone call with the president was AID ever ever mentioned. Not one time did it ever come up, Not a single time. And the President saying that if crimes are committed, you we have an agreement that we would help in criminal matters. We want you to look into election interference, and wow, that Biden thing. Yeah, we've identified four separate well three separate laws, but four statutes, as we've stated on this program, that are applicable. But they don't care. Obviously, they don't care that they do nothing for the country that they had. They live in this world of slime, smear, slander, besmirchment, attack, attack, attack, destroy, impeach, impeach, impeach because they lost an election and Muller didn't work out the way they wanted. So now we go through what Now now we're beginning year four of this madness, this raged, this psychosis. You know, all the lyne that went on that they had more than circumstantial evidence of Russia collusion or the fabrications of Trump Russia collusion. Oh, and the Steel dossier, it was gospel until when the FBI finally looks at it. Yeah, they disproved over ninety percent of it, which should have been done before Komey he was warned not to used it as the bulk of information, signing off on three of the four fives A warrants. You know, forget about them leaking a story about Donald Trump Junior that he colluded with Wiki leaks to get the you know, all the lies, all the deception, all the conspiracy theories, and the hoaxes that have been now perpetrated and rammed down the throats of every American. We should all be pissed off at the point, at some point, the American people have had it with this crap. And if you want to get to the root of why a disruptor and a non politician one in twenty sixteen, this is a big part of the reason and the fact that you can't get every Republican senator to state affirmatively, yeah, the president would have must have the right to confront their accuser and yeah, hearsay evidence is not going to fly in the US Senate. I shouldn't have to pull teeth to get answers to these questions. You know, they vowed publicly impeachment requires bipartisan support. They have no bipartisan support. You have nothing. They literally did a test run audition behind closed doors. And those are the two idiots that they picked out of a hat to represent them. And tomorrow you got the lady that accused me of well we mentioned they're like four times and claiming that, you know, I was told that Mike Pompeo called shown had no No, lady, I didn't even know who you were. Now I know who you are. Now I know a lot about you, John Slom and who's going to join us? Yeah, he found a speech where weren't into Geneva convention. You're not supposed to get involved in politics. And John Solomon did interview the general prosecutor whoever hell his name is in Ukraine and that guy said you gave him a list of names not to be prosecuted. Now I know in Ukrainian newspaper disputed that. But John Solomon he said he went back and asked the guy, so no, I never no, I'm standing by that and all of this. They are just dumping on the American people. You know this is not how this country ought to be run. These are not leaders. This is not good for the country. They don't seem to give a flying rip about what's good or bad for the country. All they care about is herning Trump and winning an election back so they can then impose their new Green Deal madness ninety four trillion dollars in medicare for all. Wow, I can't wait for that to all happen. You know, you're gonna have closed door audition processes and then you'll bring out the people that only suit your point of view. And you're not gonna put Adam Schiff in the chair when he lied repeatedly about his office and the contact that they had with the so called whistleblower. Are we not going to bring Schiff's staff in? Are we not going to bring the non whistleblower in? Are we not going to put the Bidens in the chair? You know, how do you buy for Kate your brain that you really it's so horrible to to have American leaders use taxpayer money as a leverage. Well, what did Joe Biden admit to on tape? There's your real quid pro quo Joe to save his son oh election interference matters, except when a DNC contractor meets with the Ukrainian officials to get dirt and coluded to get dirt on Trump to tel Pillory win an election. All of this is happening, and at some point is this is going to give. But we've got to wait for the fires of a report. We got to wait for the Durham report. All I know is if I did any of this crap, or any of you listening to this show, I promise you your asses would be in jail and in seconds flat, there'd be no time, no time to pass go and collect two hundred bucks either, you know, you go? When do we put the country first? Here? You got an election in three hundred and fifty five days, you know. And that's probably the only the only saving grace in this, although you gotta worry if they'll cheat, of course, But the only saving grace in this is that the American people now see this, and I am I am more convinced than I've ever been. They are not going to reward this behavioral nor should they. Every American should be pissed off at what they are doing to this country, at what they won't do to help the country be safer, more secure, more prosperous, with more jobs and more opportunities, better schools, and safer streets. None of that ever gets done by them. And even the Republicans, you know, Trump is carrying most of them on their on his back because they're too pathetically weak, with the exceptions of the Freedom Caucus and a few senators. A Master Taylor recalls that mister Morrison told him, Master Taylor that I told mister Morrison that I conveyed this message to mister Yarmock on September first, twenty nineteen, and connects so a Vice President Pence's visit to Warsaw and a meeting with President Zelensky. We got six people having four conversations in one sentence, and you just told me, this is where you got your clear understanding. Even though you had three opportunities with President Zelenski for him to tell you, you know what, we're gonna do these investigations to get the aid. Didn't tell you three different times, never makes an announce but never tweets about it, never doesn't see an interview Massor you weren't on the call, were you the president? You didn't listen to President Trump's call and Presidentlyssi's call. Did you've never talked with Chief of Staff Baulvaney? You never met the president? Had three meetings again was Zelenskin. It didn't come up, and two of those day they never heard about as far as I know. And you're their star witness, you're their first witness. You're the guy. You're the guy based on this, based on I mean, I've seen I've seen church prayer change that are a geezer to understand than this. Master Taylor recalls that mister Morrison told him, Masertaylor that I told mister Morrison, I conveyed this message mister yarmacolm September one, twenty. This all happens, by the way, This all happens, by the way, in Warsaw, Vice President Pence meets with President's Lensky and guess what, they didn't talk about any linkage either. Unbelievable. This is what this madness is now devolved into. This is hurting the country. You have to not care about a quid pro quo. You're not getting the billion. Wire the prosecutor. You get a billion, you don't fire the prosecutor. You're not getting the billion. Dollars. Yeah, that would be a quid pro quo because the prosecutor that he is demanding to be fired in six hours is investigating his son, who has zero experience in Ukraine energy, oil or gas. Millions and millions of dollars. Yeah, I think that would be probably a big deal if it was Donald Trump. Anyway, Senator Lindsay Graham joins us he has been amazing. I'm not even sure if it gets to the Senate at this point. Let's assume for a second it does. Senator, I know you saw my tweets go out today, and I've got to thank you because apparently you have answered that you will not support any impeachment trial where there is a with hearsay evidence, a hearsay whistle blower, and without any opportunity for the president in this case to confront their accuser. Good for you, Thank you for responding. Well, what I'm trying to do is let the country know that if it does come to the Senate, we're not going to change the rules just to get Donald Trump. All I'm asking the Senate to do is make sure that hearsay evidence is included consistent with the federal rules of criminal procedure banning hearsay unless there's a valid exception. I am not going to allow trial to go forward in the Senate with my vote that legitimizes the whistleblower as an anonymous source to start impeachment, even though the whistleblower is talking about hearsay. They're the ones that started this. And here's my question, Sean. Does whistleblore have a political bias against the president? Does he come from the CIA? Does she come from the CIA? Did they work for Biden? Were they involved at all in trying to stop the Ukrainian investigation of Hunter Biden's gas company. That's why you need to know who this person is. You know, I'll tell you my patience is run out here, Senator, and I'm going to push and get an answer from the senators. I did not like the comments will be very blunt of Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn and Senator Burn North Carolina, because this is simple, basic fundamental justice under our constitution. We're talking about it. It is right, and you have been saying this and articulating this, but they're saying that, well, there's definitely I think we'll have to have a trial. What with hearsay. Witnesses no right to confront your accuser. Are you kidding me? See that's the difference. Okay. I don't know how long the trial is going to last, but I know how it should be conducted. Jim Jordan did a marvelous job of explaining that mister Taylor, who is a professional State Department person, his disagreements with administration, is being weaponized by Adam Shift. So the State Department Professional Corps may be a victim of Adam Shift's desire to destroy Trump. But when you look at what mister Taylor said, it would not be admissible in a court of law. Mister Taylor has no direct evidence of a quit pro quo coming from the President of the United States, and the intended victim here the President of the Ukraine, denied any such thing happened. So I want to trial where the rules are set early on to make sure that information like we heard from mister Taylor never makes it to the Senate floor, because if you allow that to happen, you're legitimizing the process that becomes a threat to the presidency itself. I this is that serious, Senator. We have for three years now been living under conspiracy theories hoax. Oh, you know, I'll be honest, I'm really pissed off. And I wrote this to somebody earlier today, and I'm going to read it to you because I think it is that important in terms of the country, because if we don't start getting some certain things right here, we are as a country in deep trouble. You know, a very simple Lindsey Graham, as good a lawyer as you are. If I had top secret information classified information at my home or on a server, I go to jail. If I destroyed a pen of evidence, I would go to jail. If I lacked candor Jim Comey in an interview with FBI agents, I would go to jail. If I committed premeditated fraud on a fiser court, to spy on a candidate, a transition team, and president, I go to jail. The evidence is overwhelming. If I illegally surveiled a mass field, I'll go to jail. If I outsource spying to other people, I go to jail. Well, I think your point is, here's the point the twenty sixteen technique shoes to get a Fiser warrant. If I'm an FBI agent and I lie to the court, I'm in trouble? Did they lie to the court? Will anybody be in trouble if I open up a counterintelligence investigation against a presidential campaign without any real reason? Am I in trouble? And if you're not in trouble, why wouldn't you do it again? So there's three things we need to get right in this country. We need to make sure that what happened in twenty sixteen never happens again. We never defraud de Fis the court with a political document. That's a bunch of garbage to this day, that we don't open up counterintelligence investigations against political people without a solid foundation with checks and balances, And we don't. We don't have a trial in the House that ignores all of the due process requirements of being an American and legitimize that in a trial in the Senate. Those are my three goals. And when you're asking my Republican colleagues, will you support a trial that allows hearsay upon hearsay? I hope the answer is no, because if we do, then that's damning to the future of the presidency and really to the rule of laws, a concept, you know, I gotta give you a lot of credit, as you have been pushing and pushing and pushing. I do not understand there's a certain timidity here. Is there any reason why the Senate can't subpoena Let's see Adam Shift, Adam Shift's staff, the non whistle blower, whistle blower, hearsay whistle blower Joe, and the hunter Biden. Is there any reason why we can't be doing that now? As far as an oversight function, we're not going to call House members, and I wouldn't go to the House as part of their oversight function. But let's say there as a trial. Of course, if you can show that Adam Schiff is in fact a fact witness, it doesn't matter if he's a House member, he's subject to being called as a witness. So the point I'm trying to make is what I would like Republican Senators to do is to reassure the country that the trial in the Senate is going to have due process that's lacking in the House, and to let the House Democrats know that your case is built on concepts that are not allowed in any other court in the land, and they will not be allowed in the Senate. I wish every Republican would tell every Senate Democrat and House Democrat, we're not going to do a trial based on testimony of mister Taylor calls his triple laired hearsay, and we're not going to let the president be impeached based on an anonymous allegation. That's not too much to ask, that's just basic due process. Well, it seems to me that this ought to be fundamental. This should not even be an issue of debate. Is it that? Let me be blunt? Do you think that some of your colleagues in the Senate are just too afraid? I mean, you know, I just they don't know what the role I see. We've never had a situation where you try to basically tell the House what you're doing is unfair and unjust. Most of the time, impeachment, every time we've had it is being conducted by an outside entity apart from politics, not driven by an Adam Shift type. You had ken Star investigate Clinton, you had the Watergate prosecutors investigate Nixon. You had Muller investigate Trump and he found nothing. This is the first time impeachment has been led by partisan politicians, And I want it to be the last time, because it is incredibly dangerous. Adam is doing is rewriting all the rules to the benefit of the impeachment to the deatman or the president. He's denying the president the basic concept the due process. You couldn't issue a parking ticket based on the concept in the House. So we're in uncharted territory. What I want Senate Republicans to say to the House, We're not going to legitimize. You had your shot with Mueller, nothing happened. Let it go. Have an election less than a year from now. Well it's less. I'll give you the exact number of days, three hundred and fifty five days in counting. All right, quick break more with Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina on the other side. Right as we continue with Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina. I know this may be somewhat anecdotal. I got the ratings from yesterday's hearings, right, and I gotta tell you something, Senator, Fox News Channel blew everybody out of the water. They beat every major network. Do you realize Fox News Channel had more view more viewers than NBC. He is a network a million more than a cable station that's correct more than a network by double Really, you know when that kiss me, Republicans are really pissed, it tells me. And by the way, why shouldn't they be. They've they've been dragged through this b as now for three years. It's never ending, and this is now run by a compromised, corrupt congenital liar Adam Schifflight again yesterday, change the story again, good question. If he can show me that he actually did meet with the whistle blower, then then then he becomes a fact witness subject to being examined. But the point I'm trying to make is, no matter how much you hate Donald Trump, you should love the country, and what they're doing to this president will set a president every president hereafter. We'll get impeached if we legitimize this, because all it takes is a partisan person to say I hate the guy. If I were going to impeach somebody because the troubled me, Obama wouldn't last a month. I was troubled by a lot of things Obama did, but I did not want to use the impeachment powers to basically settle a political score. And that's what's happening here. I think that this is the thing we are now weaponizing political differences. Does that's hit right there? I can't say any better. Criminalizing impeachment Sean was conducted by outside people. You had outside entities investigating the pros the United States. In this case, you've got partisan politicians running an impeachment effort whatever you want to call it, that denies basic fundamental due process and is using an anonymous allegation. If we legitimize that, God help future presents. Why aren't there more people in the United States Senate with all there is? And by the way, your colleague and our mutual friend, Tim Scott, he comes on the radio show regularly. He doesn't like to do TV a lot, but you know what, and he does a great job whenever he's on them on this program. I know you're good friends with them. There's not a lot of senators that want to come on TV and radio and bring their case to the American people. Now. I know that there are some people that criticize you, and frankly, my god, I mean CNN's twenty four hours a day. What happened to Lenda's Graham. I'm the same guy that believe Mueller should have his space to investigate all things Russia and Trump. I gave Muther the space because he was outside of politics. The reports in the case is closed, but it never ends. I am not going to legitimize thisps in the House. To every Republican and Democrat, you should be very concerned about what's going on in the House. This process can destroy the presidency. And what would you do as a senator if a who's the blower made an allegation about you? You don't know who the person is, and all the information against you was hearsay upon hearsay, how would you feel, Senator? This is about two things for the Democrats. They never saw Donald from under any circumstance win. And by the way, and now we know there's a lot of nefarious activities going on behind the scenes, don't we uh? And by the way, when aren't we ever gonna get the reports? Just stay tuned, Stay tuned, you'll find here for months. Stay. Do I seem like a patient person that you can tell me? I think it's one of your greatest virtues is your patience? No, I'm not that. I'm now my patience has run out when it comes to the fights a report. There's no more patients left in me. It's over. Well, here's here's my point. I want the report to come out as transparent as possible, as much declassified as possible. I want to people naming the report chance to defend themselves, and it will come before my committee in the light of day. You will never see Harwood's testify in the House, but you will see him testify in the Senate. It'll be it'll be relatively soon here and we're going to have a report about what happened in twenty sixteen by the Inspector General, who's a nonpartisan, and we'll see what he finds. And we're going to do it right in the Senate. But back to the issue at hand. I think about thirty seconds, yea, every Probagance should stand up and object to any trial based on hearsay, and then no, it's the president right to confront his accuser. All right, A senator, appreciate all you're doing, and I mean that you've been amazing in this by the way, you're the first person to respond. We really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Um that you got to have due process, that you gotta have the ability. You can you can't. You can't run an impeachment trial on hearsay. That's a Those rules are fair. Those are the that's simple, one on one. And you have the right to address your accuse her. That's fair too. And I want every Senator to answer my tweets and my phone calls, because we were calling every one of them. It is true that I had some difficult personal relationship with a miss ambassador, unfortunate from the first meeting with the US ambassador in Bruce Miss ambassador people whom we should not prosecute. All right. That was an interview that John Solomon did, by the way, Gladia with us our two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean, you want to be a part of the program. Um, So this former ambassador person, Maria whatever her name is, I don't even remember Ivanovich is her name, makes this big deal about the fact that, oh, John Solomon was reporting on me and uh and Sean Hannity was attacking me in the in the State Department. I was told that Mike Pompeo or somebody from the State Department was gonna call Sean Hannity and tell them to knock it off, and I'm like, I don't even know who this lady is. We go back in our transcripts on Hannity and we're like, her name came up like four times and in passing for the most part, except for the issue that what you just heard is the prosecutor General. John Solomon had the videotape of it and a video interview of it, saying that, excuse me, yeah, she gave me a list of names of people that we don't want to have prosecuted. Now, the media there has been a report saying that this guy that said that the prosecutor general has recanted that. We're gonna ask John Solomon in a second. Otherwise, there is a story that John put out today, and I didn't pay that much attention to him, because to me, the Ukraine story always was about quid pro quote Joe, and that is, if you fire the prosecutor investigating my son, I'll give you a billion. If you don't fire him, you're not getting the billion. You have six hours to fire the guy. Why did he want the prosecutor fired because the guy's investigating his son. He was tipped off by the New York Times and by others. There's your real quid pro quote, there's your real corruption here. And what about Hunter Biden? He doesn't interviewed. I have any experience with Ukraine? No experienced oil gas energy? No, do you have any experience whatsoever? No? Why do you think you got the millions of dollars? I don't know. Do you think maybe it's because your dad is running point for the whole country, the United States on Ukraine, the second highest elected official in America. Yeah, probably, Okay, quid pro quo Joe gets the prosecutor fired. Anyway, so this woman will testify tomorrow is like talking about me. And I'm like, I never got a call from Pompeio or anybody else at the State Department. I don't even know who this lady is. And anyway, John has a column out today that links to a speech that apparently this ambassador gave in March of twenty well nineteen, I think it was. And in this thing, I mean, if you're an ambassador, one of the rules, this is sort of one oh one Geneva Convention stuff, is you don't get involved in that country's politics or their elections. Apparently that was in the case, and I'm going to tell you if I'm light about again, I'm just warning these people stop lying about me. I'm not going to accept your lies anyway. John Solomon, Fox News contributor investigative reporter is here with Moore. We've barely ever mentioned are On Hannity we found four instance. She was a few paragraphs in one of my stories. Absolutely that was it. But she is the embodiment for Ukrainians of a state department that the Ukrainians felt bullied by. And I think that at the end of the day, the bigger issue here, the public interest issue, is has the State Department been acting in first in violation or inherance to the Geneva Convention. The Geneva Convention says, if you're a diplomat in a foreign country, you may not you may not intervene in the internal affairs or elections of the host country. We know that Mariyavanovitch gave a speech on March fifth. I learned about it because another career diplomat called me and said, you won't believe what she just did. I had never heard of her until that day. She gives a speech three weeks before the end of the Ukrainian presidential election, demanding that they remove this special anti corruption prosecutor. This would be like removing Robert like the Russians asking Robert Mueller to be fired. During the middle of the twenty eighteen election, people were up in arms in Ukraine. Not me, not Sean Hannity, not President Trump about this, The Ukrainians were up in arms about it. A senior official went over two days later, David Hale, the undersecretary, and he got peppered with questions, that's how big a controversy this was in Ukraine. And the question was doesn't this violate the Geneva Convention, the rule that you're not supposed to interfere? And David Hale said, well, I stand by the ambassador. She speaks for the president, but I'm not going to try to interpretate her words or words or what they are. And he kind of blows it off. But at the end of the day, it has now been confirmed factually by all these impeachment witnesses the following things. You are embassy in Kiev repeatedly ushured Ukrainian prosecutors not to pursue certain prosecutions that included a nonprofit group funded by George Soros. That included a law enforcement official that was being investigated. That included other political figures, including the parliamentary member who leaked the Paul Manafort black ledger and got Paul Manafort fired. Our State Department was telling Ukrainians what they could do when their internal law enforcement affairs, go back to the Geneva convention. Ask yourself, is that an appropriate thing? Furthermore, our State Department was in business with George Soros in Ukraine. It was jointly funding one of George Soros's nonprofits there. That nonprofit was essential to George Soros's expansion of his business in Ukraine and also to fight anti corruption. That was its mission. It's a legitimate public question for the American people to ask, should our State department be in business with a person who tried to get Hillary Clinton elected and Donald Trump defeat in twenty sixty May not be Maybe it's appropriate, but it's an a fair question. And when you got it, but I don't understand. Yeah, you know, I've never talked to anybody in Ukraine untouchable. Don't don't question me about that. We should question our public officials about these type of issues. Yeah, And I noticed the smear against you two and all of this um. And you know, because it really is funny because this guy Ken Vogel, who wrote that January eleven, twenty seventeen piece about all the Ukrainian election interference, nobody wants to talk about that any longer. You had reported that Ukraine wanted to give us evidence it was all true. We now know we have a Ukraine court decision that said they interfered in our elections. You know, it's just like with Hunter and Joe Biden. They don't care about a real quid pro quel. You get a billion, you fire the prosecutor. You don't fire him. You don't get a billion, you got six hours. Why would a vice president want to prosecute a fired It's the same thing. Yeah, you played that clip from Nancy Pelosi. She might as well have indicted Joe Biden for bribery. Her description actually more actively describes what Joe Biden did, by his own admission, than anything Donald Trump has been accused of. It's remarkable that they actually flipped this around and try to stick it on Donald Trump when their own guy was the first guy to use any suggestion of a foreign aid to try to cause Ukraine to do something. It's pretty remarkable. Just take Nancy Pelosi's words and comparing to what Joe Biden did. I think she indicted Joe Biden in her statement yesterday. Listen, I gotta tell you, I think they've been doing that the entire time. Everybody that talks about bribery, a shakedown, extortion, I mean, all of you know, we've identified all of the laws that we believe have been violated, and they are and that they're extremely significant and applicable. I mean, this is a big deal what has gone on here. You know, I will tell you anecdotally, and ratings are one thing usually, but when you actually break down the numbers and you see what has gone on here, and you see that all these big networks, their ratings were atrocious. ABC has like and let's put it this way, the Fox News Channel had more viewers watching than MBC broadcast double the number. They had almost a million more viewers than CBS, almost a million more than ABC. I mean, and you look at primetime. The American people are fed up what they're doing to this country. They see this for what it is. This is We've got the transcript, you know, the hearsay hearsay here say triple hearsay, quadruple. Here say my cousin of my uncle, of my brother, of his grandfather's son's nephew said this. And that's why I came to that conclusion. You know, is hardly any information that would bring this country to the brink. And if they really love this country, they would stop doing this, because this is now three solid years of NonStop witch hunt, lies and conspiracy theories and attacks against the president because they couldn't beat them and they didn't think they'd lose, and that they didn't get Muller to do what they wanted them to do. Yeah, listen, it's the same crowd, right. It's Adam Schiff, it's Nancy Pelosi, it's the New York Times. And New York Times drove irresponsibly the Russia collusion narrative for two and a half years, and then when it disappeared, they went, oh, oh, well, we'll move on to something else. They never even retracted the stories that James Coleman the intelligence community told them were false. They never retracted them, even though that's a requirement under journalism ethic. But let me tell about one thing. That's important to the New York Times after they took a shot at me sing yesterday's story. They did me a favor because for six months Democrats and their media allies keep saying, well, general prosecutor, a prosecutor generally SENTO. After he gave that an interview on tape to me, he recanted, Well, guess what, no one who claimed that actually went and interviewed the guy I did. I went back and interview the second time. Did you were? Can't know? I'm sticking by exactly what I said The New York Times. Finally you interviewed him a month ago. Now they held it for a month, but they slipped it into the story about me yesterday. And you know what they found out. They found out what I found out. Mister Lucentko stands by what he says. He is adamant Massador Ivanovitch gave him a list of names of people not to prosecute when he met her the first time. She denies it, but she can't deny that her embassy repeatedly pressed Ukrainians not to prosecute cases, even independent of that meeting. So my story has been confirmed. After three or four months of me taking a lot of pokes claiming that I was wrong. It's pretty remarkable that the New York Times buried that in the twentieth graph of myself. You're saying that they're confirming what the prosecutor general said. How come everybody that talks about this as he were canted we talk to him. There was a single Ukrainian newspaper, and listen, if you're a journalist in America, you know you probably should do more than just rely on a Ukrainian news report. You should go to it. New York Times finally reached out to Lucento themselves. They say, so and what did he tell him? He said, yep, I'm telling you when I was in the meeting, she named people she didn't want me to prosecute. He stood by his comments. I've been criticized for months. The people who interview Lucentko know that he hasn't recanted. Everybody else just goes with the talking points and avoids doing the work to find out what the truth is. And that's how you end up with conspiracy fairies like Russia and now Ukraine, because people spin fairies and don't do the factual work, the spade work. You need to build a case, right, quick break. We'll come back more with investigative reporter John Solomon, and then on the other side of this, we got Greg Jarrett, Peter Schweitzer coming up and your calls. I know a lot of you want to weigh in on all that's happening. Investador Taylor, do you know whether Hunter Biden offers anything other than the fact that his dad's the former vice president. I don't wor at the time was the vice president. I have no knowledge of Hunter Biden, or you would agree. He raises questions. Right, he was getting paid, I think fifty thousand dollars a month to sit on the board. Did you know if he relocated to Korea Ukraine? No knowledge? Do you know, mister Ken again, no knowledge? Okay, so he's getting paid fifty thousand dollars a month, but we don't know whether he had any experience, he had any he spoke the language, or whether he moved to Ukraine. Correct, correct, All right, as we continue, John Solomon, investigative reporters with us. Look, I don't know anything about Ukraine. I've never talked to anybody in Ukraine. Look just at a distance, you know, just just listening to the Bidens alone, that was always my main focus. Anyone that listens to about this radio show or watches TV, and I gotta tell you something. It seems like this country just is just pervasive corruption, like at a level that is breathtaking. Always have every story ever wrote on this back in the spring, always added the caveat, don't Ukraine is full of politics, corruption and in deep rooted divisions between these powerful oligarchs. And you have to take everything you hear in Ukraine with a grain of salt. I put that disclaimer in all my colleg because that's the truth of Ukraine. Still, from that, we can divine many facts, and those facts are not favorable to Joe Biden. They're also favorable to why a president like President Trump might look with some caution about why he should or shouldn't give aid or do other things with Ukraine. We know long before twenty nineteen the President had concerns about Ukraine. We've seen that reporting. Now it's been corroborated. I bet you there's something we don't know yet, John, I bet you we're going to learn it between now and if there is ever an impeachment trial. I bet you the CIA, the Treasury Department, and other intelligence agencies were raising concerns in secret and classified information, telling the President about concerns about the people that are around this new president. Zelenski, that would give everybody pause. Let's hold on a few minutes and sort through this, make sure we understand what we're doing before we give this money to Ukraine. That part of the story has not come out, but I have a higher degree of confidence that the President was getting in his PDB and another intelligence and meetings and briefings warnings about hey, let's just be careful with Ukraine. There's some issues here. Let's understand who's hanging around this new president. Make sure we get it sorted out before we start throwing money at him. I think that's going to become a new storyline that's going to further erode is bogus narrative that the Democrats and their media allies have woken. John Solomon, he'll be joining us on Hannity tonight. Thank you for your reporting. Let's see what they say tomorrow. This is not good for this country. When are they gonna stop? Stay right here for our final news round up and information overloads summarize. We thought, we thought the mulcule as Lecheski had stolen money. We thought a prosecutor had taken a bribe to shut the case, and those were our main concerns. And are you in favor of that matter being fully investigated and prosecuted. I think since US taxpayer dollars are wasted, I would love to see the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's office find who the corrupt prosecutor was that took the bribe and how much it was paid. And that's what I said to the Deputy Prosecutor General on twenty fifteen. But in addition to prosecuting the person that took the bribes, shouldn't the organization or individual that sponsored the bribes be prosecuted? I would agree that the Ukrainian law authorities should uphold the rule of law and hold people account for breaking Ukrainian law. So this company Burisma involved in lots of criminal activity, correct? I do not know that, but over the years it's been involved in a number of questionable dealings. Correct. I would say that it's the largest private gas producer in the country and its business reputation is mixed. So to the extent a new regime is coming in under President Lensky, it certainly would be fair for the new prosecutor, a genuine prosecutor, to re examine old crimes that hadn't sufficiently been brought to justice. Right. I believe that the new prosecutor General, Ruslan Ribashotka, made a statement to that and that they would be reviewing past cases. But keep in mind, this is a country where those that commit crimes generally never get held to account, So there's a lot to review. Unbelievable in your analysis of what you're hearing their news round Up, Information Overload, our Sean Hannity Show. This is the problem with this country is this is rampant corruption city. You know the fact that we have now gotten to a point where you have to literally intellectually shut down your brain, compartmentalize, bifur kate your own definition of what bribery, shakedown, extortion, quit pro quo is. The way the Democrats have done this here. There is a level of madness associated with this. You cannot even be well at this point. We've talked about rage and psychosis and Trump derangement syndrome because all these people that are saying, yeah, this is bad. The president he had the President said he wanted a favor. He wanted the guy to investigate the twenty sixteen election interference that we know Ukraine was involved in because they told us they were, and a court told us there they were. An even political chronicled. I thought we wanted election interference issues dealt with and taking care of. Apparently not only if it can bludgeen Donald Trump, just like, oh, yeah, we care about Russian interference, but not the dirty Russian nazier anyway. Greg Jarrett, author of the bestseller Witch Hunters, second book now is follow up the story of the greatest mass delusion in American political history, which is doing really well. Another New York Times bestseller. Peter Schweitzer, Government Accountability Institute President, he blew all this open. When did Secret Empires? Also a New York Times bestseller? When did you release that book that came out in March of twenty eighteen? Sean first interview I did was with you March of twenty eighteen, right, And in this book, I remember we talked about hunter By, and we talked about the Bidens, and we also have the brother involved in this too at a pretty high level as well. Yeah, that's exactly right, and really what's stunning when you look at those hearings yesterday and what's coming ahead is I think people need to lay side by side Donald Trump and Joe Biden in terms of what they were going to get or the expectation or the hope of what they were going to get out of Ukraine. What Democrats have basically said is that Donald Trump was going to gain a political advantage over Joe Biden by getting this material released. And that goes to the debate about motive. But that's the biggest expectation gain that Donald Trump was going to get bad pr for Joe Biden. Now lay that next to what the Biden family actually got from the Ukrainians, and that is Hunter Biden got more than three million dollars from the Ukrainians for a job that he had no qualifications for. And both witnesses yesterday, by the way, we're asked, other than being the son of the Vice President Joe Biden, who was handing out all this foreign aid, what qualifications did he have to sit on the board of Barizma. Both witnesses said there was no other reason for him to be sitting on the board. He had zero qualifications. So look at who benefited from the Ukrainians who was actually making decisions that were beneficial to Ukrainians. And it's very clear that the prime corrupt act here was the one involving the Bidens in Ukraine. Greg Jarrett, it is so obvious. I think you understand what I'm saying about having to bifurcate your brain. The dacier doesn't matter. Obstruction when you delete subpoena emails and clean the hard drive and beat up devices doesn't matter. But if it's Donald Trump, you'll have four separate investigations. You'll claim there's obstruction when there is none. When we have real obstruction. We care about election interference, but only if it's Donald Trump's election, or it's not the dossier, or not Ukrainian support of Hillary Clinton or a DNC operative that meets with Ukrainian representatives colluding against Donald Trump in his campaign, which did happen in twenty sixteen. You're right, it's a double unequal standard. Here. It's perfectly okay for the Bidens to engage in a quid pro quo that may have been motivated by corrupt intent. But here, when Donald Trump engages in a folk quid pro quo, there's no evidence of it. It's an impeachable offense. It's bribery, it's extortion. That's utter nonsense, and it's totally unfair. I will say this. Out of yesterday's testimony, the most valuable information we got was that diplomat Bill Taylor met three times after the Trump Zelenski phone call with Zelenski, and there was never a discussion between the two about pressure, threats, conditions, demands, quid pro quo. That is strong, circumstantial evidence that there never was any quid pro quo. And of course you don't see it in the transcript of the phone call. You don't see it. It doesn't exist. And then you got the whole Biden thing, you know, and you know, watching this yesterday so maddening to me. Well, my cousins, uncle's brothers, grandfather's stepson's niece from some other that. I mean, this is how removed it gets, Greg, It's not even you know. And then you have this idiot Quigly or whatever his name is, actually suggesting, well, you know, heresay evidence is actually it's a it's oftentimes much better than direct evidence. I'm like, Okay, did I just hear that? Because that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard out of a member of Congress. It is he won the twice award. Yesterday. Lawyers across America were howling with laughter. What he said is simply untrue, and it's amazing that he actually has a law degree. You know, these are witnesses yesterday. I don't know Donald Trump didn't talk to Donald Trump. They have no idea what Donald Trump's intent was. They are simply a member of the chattering class of diplomats pedaling hearsay, opinions, and conjecture. So you know, this is impeachment by rumor and innuendo, built on triple and quadruple hearsay. This guy, George Kent says, well, I believe there was a quid pro quel. Well he got that from Taylor, who got it from Morrison, who got it from Somlin, who testified he presumed there was a quid pro quel. That is absolute junk. That's not evidence. And Representative Mike Turner was right when he said, your testimony, gentleman, would never be allowed in a court of law. That is the great iron need. But Peter Schwitzer, we're not here. We know the China deal again, does any experience in China, any experience in private equity Bank of China billion dollars later becomes a billion five, any experience there at all. No, I mean, that's that's the interesting common point with all of hunter Biden. Oh well, one last thing. Oh and he never made a penny off the China deal. That's what he said, never made a penny. Is that true? Well, you know the common point on all of hunter Biden's foreign dealings, and we now know that it's in Ukraine, it's in Romania, Kazakhstan, We've got China, and of course what if all those countries have in common. They all have very highly corrupt political cultures. And in all four of those countries he was involved in initiatives, he was involved in business that he had zero qualifications form. The only qualification he had at the time was that his father was vice president. That was it. So you know this notion, and this came up in the hearings. You played the audio at the at the top of the hour. I mean, both diplomats admitted that Bisma is a corrupt entity and it ought to be investigated because there were bribes that were paid, there's money that was missing, one of the people involved with Bisma Kolamowski. This oligarch controlled this bank, privat bank where more than a billion dollars an age just disappeared. Well, that needs to be investigated. These are the sorts of people that Hunter Biden was doing business in and what they have done from the beginning Sean as it relates to all of Hunter's business dealings, is they have lied, they have obscured. As it relates to China, they first said no, no, no, no, he wasn't on the board of directors of this financial firm, he was just on the advisory board. Well he just stepped down about a month ago, resigned from the board of directors of the financial firm. And the claim, the statement that well, he's not going to make any money off the deal is laughable. The way private equity works, you've had an early stake in the investments which he had. The payday comes down the road. So you know, if there's nothing wrong here, if there's nothing amiss here, why are they not being transparent and open on these matters. They're not because there is a lot to hide. And this goes to the root of what happened in Ukraine and in other countries. We have a political class in Washington. There's some Republicans that do it as well. But I've never seen a case like Hunter Biden's where it is so systematic, it's so obvious. It happens really from the moment that his father's elected vice president. He gets all these deals in areas he has no background, and he cashes in it. It's the most blatant example by far that I've ever seen. And it's amazing the timing and what you've been able to do and how you exposed it, and how this now has taken on a life of its own. You know, Greg, on the legal side of this, you've identified laws that you believe Joe Biden could have violated. We've gone over the many times here. Do you see that there are other issues with other countries as well? Here? Oh, I entirely agree that it's not just Ukraine and China, but Kazakhstan and Romania. You know, as Peter is laid out so nicely, all of this needs to be investigated because if these companies in those countries are buying protection and there is some act by a vice president United States Joe Biden to protect his son that's a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He is getting something of value by extorting or bribing a foreign country, and the value is, you know, he's getting his son, Hunter Biden out of hot water. You know. The all you have to do is look at the fired prosecutors statements, not just a John Solomon, but my goodness to the Washington Post a July twenty second column that they wrote in which the fire prosecutors said, I got fired because demanded it and because I was closing in on his son with my investigators. So you know, there's more than sufficient evidence here for the Department of Justice to open a criminal investigation as they should. And I guarantee you, having talked to Lindsey Grahman and I know you have two shan, you know he is determined to get to the bottom of the Biden quid pro quel. Quick break right back, we'll continue more with Greg Jared Peter Sweitzer on the other side. We have an unbelievable Hannity tonight. You do not want to miss. We're going to call out all of these people. All right, as we continue with Greg Jared Peter Sweitzer, this was the question I was thrown out to senators earlier today, and that is we I want to know where our senators stand on all of this. Yeah, I want to know if senators are going to allow this, this circus of this compromised, corrupt, coward and congenital liar shift to continue where hearsay conjectures now would miss evidence. I want to know from senators, is the United States going to allow an impeachment trial to continue where the accuser is a hearsay whistle blower? Are we are We're going to set a president president here with the president of the United States doesn't have the right to confront their accuser, especially in the case with the hearsay whistle blower, And we're now I'm I'm I'm just assuming that the House Democrats are stupid and if they want to end up impeaching the president over nothing, well, we need to know what they're going to do in the Senate and whether or not they are going to validate this madness, because we've got to hold these people accountable, and we need to know whether due process will be allowed in the Senate because if you if you're gonna have hearsay admissible and you're not going to be able to confront your accuser. We're in deep trouble. You both agree, that's why Lindsey Graham said it was dead on arrival in the Senate. It should be, and I spoke to him again last night. He still stands by that. I don't even think it will get to the point of a trial. Emotion to dismiss has a very good chance of passing on a majority vote. All right, Hyeah, last word, Peter quickly, Yeah, and Sean, I would just add, Look, they always used the phrase the president is not above the law, and I think that Greg has laid out why there has been no violation of the law. But in the case of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, the same thing applies. They are not above the law, and that's why they need to be investigated, investigated thoroughly. Those countries are not going to do it. They're afraid to investigate powerful Americans because they know the poll they have in those countries. That's why it needs to be investigated here in the United States by the Department of Justice. All right, great work, both of you. We're going to have full coverage tonight on what the damage the Democrats and the mob and the media are willing to do to the country because of nothing and their breathtaking sick, twisted, ugly compartmentalizing and bifurcation of any truth. It's really twisted. To the best of my knowledge, the case against Slachevski, the former minister, was shut down December of twenty fourteen, Okay, And right around that time, Barisma starts adding officials to its board. Is that correct? Understanding? Is yes? That Lachevsky invited a series of new individuals to join the board in twenty fourteen. And do you know what his strategy was and adding officials to his board. I have never met mister Latchevski, okay. And who were some of the folks he added to the board. The most prominent person he added to the board was the former president of Poland, Alexander Kashnevsky, and anyone else. There were a number of others, including some Americans, and the most prominent one in this context is Hunter Biden. Okay. So Hunter Biden's added to the board of Barisma. Now do you think that creates a problem that Barisma may be adding people to its board for protection purposes? Sir I worked for the government. I don't work in the corporate sector, and so I believe that companies build their boards with a variety of reasons, not only to promote their business plans. Was Hunter Biden a corporate governance expert? I have no idea what Hunter Biden studied at university or what his CV says. Is he the Jeffrey Salmenfeld of the Ukraine? I have no awareness or knowledge of what his background was and what he may have done on the border. Right, so you don't know whether he is any business experience in Ukraine prior to joining business board. I've heard nothing about prior experience. Okay. Do you know if he speaks Ukrainian? I do not. You know if he possesses any other element other than the fact that he is the son of at the time the sitting vice president, I do not. Okay, Ambassador Taylor, do you know whether Hunter Biden offers anything other than the fact that his dad's the former vice president? I don't know at the time was the vice president? I have no knowledge of Hunter Biden, but you would agree to raise his questions. Right. He was getting paid at I think fifty thousand dollars a month to sit on the board did you know if he relocated to career Ukraine? Do you know if Hunter Biden relocated to Ukraine? No knowledge? Do you know, mister Kent again, no knowledge? Okay, so he's getting paid fifty thousand dollars a month, but we don't know whether he had any experience, he had any he spoke the language, or whether he moved to Ukraine. Correct. Correct, But yesterday you heard an appointment of the president speak in very unambiguous terms a courageous public servant. The devastating testimony corroborated evidence of bribery uncovered in the inquiry, and that the president abused power and violated his oath by threatening to withhold military aid and a White House meeting in exchange for an investigation into his political rival. And at the heart of the corruption is this olig oligarchical system correct, where the oligarchs take control, often by a virtual theft of um. You know, for example, the right to certain energy licenses. Correct, that is one element, Yes, sir, And the company Barisma, it's it's leader. So Chevsky, he has a little bit of a storied history of corruption, doesn't he. Misters Lachevski was Minister of energy from twenty twenty twelve under the pro Russian government, and he used his regulatory authority to award gas exploration licenses to companies that he himself controlled. That would be considered an active corruption in my view. Yes, and certainly self dealing. Certainly self dealing and self enriching. And how did the Ukrainian government ultimately pursue that. In the spring of twenty fourteen, the Ukrainian government, the new government after the Revolution of Dignity, turned to partners, particularly the US and the UK, to try to recover tens of billions dollars of stolen assets. The first case that we tried to recover that money came from Missus Latchevsky. Serious Crimes Office in the UK had already opened up an investigation. They worked with US and the Ukrainian authorities developed more information. The twenty three million dollars was frozen until somebody in the General Prosecutors Office of Ukraine shut the case, issued a letter to his lawyer and that money went puff. To summarize, we thought, we thought the mukul As Lechevski had stolen money. We thought a prosecutor had taken a bribe to shut the case, and those were our main concerns, and are you in favor of that matter being fully investigated and prosecuted. I think since US taxpayer dollars were wasted, I would love to see the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's office find who the corrupt prosecutor was that took the bribe and how much it was paid. And that's what I said to the Deputy Prosecutor General on February third, twenty fifteen. But in addition to prosecuting the person that took the bribes, shouldn't the organization or individual that sponsored the bribes be prosecuted? I would agree that the Ukrainian law authorities should uphold the rule of law and hold people account for breaking Ukrainian law. So this company Burisma involved in lots of criminal activity, correct, I do not know that, but over the years it's been involved in a number of questionable dealings. Correct. I would say that it's the largest private gas producer in the country and its business reputation is mixed. So to the extent a new regime is coming in under President Zelenski, it certainly would be fair for the new prosecutor, a genuine prosecutor, to re examine old crimes that hadn't sufficiently been brought to justice. Right. I believe that the new Prosecutor General, Ruslan Ribashotka made a statement to that and that they would be viewing past cases. But keep in mind, this is a country where those that commit crimes generally never get held to account. So there's a lot to review. But you got paid millions. Doesn't know, doesn't know anybody in Ukraine, doesn't know anything about Ukraine, doesn't know anything about oil energy or guess I will tell you it is. Every American needs to now be angry because what they are doing is that bad and that corrupt, and to be where you are. They are in the mob, in the media, and of course the Democrats, which is the dirty dossier. We don't care about that. But Trump Prussia collusion is the worst thing ever. Again, a foreign interference, Well for investigations, okay, but he obstructed, he obstructed, just as no he didn't. But you don't care about the subpoena emails. What Hillary did there? You care about election interference, but you don't care that a DNC operative literally went and met with a d NCA operative met with Ukrainian officials at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington for the purpose of digging up dirt on Donald Trump. And now you've got nothing in a phone call zero. So you're bringing in people that say so and so who talked to so and so, who talked to so and so, so and so, so and so, so and so, so and so they said this, and yeah, that made sense to me. That's why I just assumed that was true. That's what you're getting here. But you can't confront your what You can't talk to Adam Schiff, who led again yesterday. You wonder why I call him a congenital liar, because he is the guy lied to us for three years about Russia, Russia, Trump, Russia, Russia, Trump, Trump, Russia, Russia Trump light for we got all the evidence, though they didn't add nothing, absolutely nothing. Now oh yeah, and we'd like to one day talk to the whistle blower. We're gonna call the whistle blower. But yeah, I was less than forthcoming. I should I've been more forthcoming about my office. Yeah, yeah, we talked. Then you have to say, I don't know the whistle blower. Okay, make up your mind. What kind of country are we going to be here. This is now defining moment in this country. You don't like the election results, well I didn't like it. One Obama won. You know what, You suck it up, You move forward, and then you battle on the issue in the arena of ideas, and you fight for the for the things you believe in. That's that's what happens. You lose sometimes in life. That sucks. I'd rather win. I like the I like the economy now much better. People haven't lifted a finger to help this country in any way shape, manner of form. They've done nothing for three years except this b s and it is. You know, the more I watch this, the more sickening this becomes. It is despicable. It is disgraceful that this is how low they have sunk and what so that if they get elected, Well, we're gonna get elected and do what new Green deal ninety four trillion dollars. Okay, that doesn't add up. I'm gonna get rid of oil and gas, the lifeblood of the world's economy, mustion, engine, planes and cows. Eventually everything else is free, and we're gonna tax. We won't. You can't have medicare for all fifty two trillion, But you don't have any option for healthcare on your own means you're screwed. Because if you think Obamacare was bad and the promise is moren't fulfilled, there what do we do then? Anyway? Eight hundred nine for one Sean, we're gonna get hit the phones here, all right, to our busy phones we go as we say hi to Jeff Is in Austin. Jeff, Hi, how are you glad you called? Sean? Long time listener, first time caller. Hey, I hear it in your voice where you're you're really distressed. You're you're upset. And I understand I am. I am a pissed off American today, and I think everybody should be pissed off today. This is what they're hurting the country. Now. This is bull this is garbage, I understand. But like I said, longtime listener, I remember back in the day, you used to say, letting not your heart be troubled, because in a little over three hundred fifty five days, we're gonna start talking about healthcare again. We're gonna start talking about lower prescription drug prices. Just letting not your heart be troubled. You used to say that all the time, and I want to encourage you to get I mean, in a way I can't dispute you know that those are not John Hannity's words. I mean it's actually biblical political and I believe in it completely. And I know in the end God wins the battle. Ultimately, he decides. But you know something, when you have something as great as the United States of America and then you have people that are abusing the process, corrupting the process the way eight these democrats have been, and you've got these partisans no nothing, agenda driven, lying, conspiracy theory, peddling, hoax pedaling, smear merchants in the media. It gets it gets it gets you a little time, It gets tiresome, it gets old. I get it. But just Trylotte by letting out your heart be troubled again. All Right, when I get there, after a couple of drinks, I'll call you. All right, maybe it'll be ready, maybe I'll feel better. Then. Um it is Thursday. I mean, you only have one more day to the weekend, Sean all you're gonna start it on me, now, really, you're gonna You're gonna pile on Hannity because I'm mad Nonna, And well hang on, Cherry woman, Cheryl. Cheryl is in Chicago. What's up, Cheryl? We had a great time in Chicago the other day. How are you hi, San? How do you appreciate what you do and what you stand for every day? Really do well? Thank you for giving me this chance? Um? Why now? What's the video in reference to Ukraine? Why is this fus Why are we all hearing about it now? I'm trying to earn Nancy Fan all these people on board. Why is everyone just getting this information now? Wouldn't it just be wouldn't been useful two three years from now? Like who would be protected then? And I haven't heard anybody talked about it. I heard your co host talk about it a tiny bit yesterday, right, But it's just like a constant Santa list of constant distractions. But who's you know, just buying time for Hillary? Like what you know? Everybody feels europain and frustration. But why now? Why this information? Because I'm gonna tell you why is because they failed. They failed in the election of twenty sixteen. They failed with feign investigations into their conspiracy theory of Trump Russia collusion. They have to suspend all intellectual honesty, decency, common sense reason to get there and ignore the Hillary dossier, just like ignoring the Hillary supping at emails, just like ignoring DNC Ukrainian collusion in the in the election, just like ignoring the bidens it is. You know, at some point it just has build and it's now crescendoing into what is an absolute shift show pun intended that it is, you know, hurting the country, and they don't care. They just dig in deeper. They just they detach from reality further. They bifurcate their brains further, they compartmentalize, justifying, and I think a lot of it is brooted in the fact they think they're better, they think they're smarter, they think we're stupid. They you know, we get these moments, irredeemable deplorables. Hilary should win a one hundred million zero that we're smelly Walmart shoppers and we cling to our God, our guns, our Bibles, and our religion. Okay, guilty is charged on all counts. And they think they are better and no better and they I'm telling you, there is an elitist attitude that exists, and that's why Trump won in the first place because people are sick of them. They're sick of this garbage. You know, say what you will. The guy has fought to keep his promises and his plans are working all right, Hannity Tonight, we got more of these guys now responding Steve Dane's Montana Senator Alexander Senator Braun Indiana.
