Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to the Sean Hannity Radio show podcast. All right, let's say more Star Lawyer. You know, it's fascinating and and phenomenal is that we have had. Now I honestly think that we had an impact on these cable channels because of the embarrassment we have brought to them yesterday in terms of their obsessive I'll hang on, this is now breaking. Prime Minister Netan Yahoo has been hospitalized. I'm told from an inside source I have it's a high fever. Nothing more serious than that, but anyways, probably getting fluids and making sure they can drive that fever down. If we get any more information, we'll let we'll let you know. Um. But you know, last night we went into just in yesterday on this program, we went into very specific detail of the media's obsession, just total complete obsession with Stormy Daniels and their NonStop Stormy coverage on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And what's really amazing about it is just how unbelievably corrupt the media in this country is. Because you know, these are the same people, as we pointed out well Jannita Broderick was never on sixty minutes. She never got interviewed by CNN until let's see October of Meanwhile, this story with her broken nineties seven or and I had the second interview with her, and I mean it really is. I mean that this is their how deep their hatred now goes towards Donald Trump, that you know, if they got Stormy Daniels, we're gonna I mean, let's just go back, let's play how obsessed CNN in particular is which Stormy Daniels, Because this represents everything that I've been saying about five specific forces against this president. You've got the Deep State leaking on a daily basis, the deep State involved in in everything with the docier of the FISA warrant of putting the fix in and so Hillary Clinton isn't indicted and everything in between, and then also leaking on Donald Trump. They never thought Trump would win, and then as soon as he did, their effort became to delegitimize him any in every way possible and leaking in unprecedented ways setting him up, and more imprecedented ways advancing a story that never was true, is not true about Trump Russia collusion notice the media doesn't talk about Russia, Russia, Russia. You know, they had a great distraction, Stormy, stormy, stormy, but they won't cover the story. But they never covered the stories involving Clinton because Clinton is a liberal Democrat. And even though these are charges of abuse, rape, groping, grabbing, fondling, touching, kissing against a woman's will, exposing oneself and dropping his pain. And I mean, it's amazing, it's stormy, stormy, stormy, stormy all the time, detailing on national television and intimate relationship with Donald Trump and the effort to conceal it. Adult film actress Stormy Daniels and the White House briefing expected to begin any moment now, they will certainly face questions about Stormy Daniels. That Stormy saga takes a dramatic turn as the porn star speaks out on her alleged affair with Citizen Trump. Stormy Daniel Stormy Daniels Layery haven't heard from him about the Stormy Daniels affair. Dul film star Stormy Daniels breaking her silence about her alleged affair with President Trump. We're talking, I think understandably and appropriately about the most serious legal allegations that Stormy Daniels may Stormy Daniels, Stormy Daniels, I know you've heard a ton about that, and we have to see where that case goes and what this interview is about. Is that possible to come up in the Stormy Daniels lawsuit? Will she'd be able to say, Hey, look this lawyer is involved with a whole bunch of different things here. This could be the last nail in the coffin Stormy dan It's closed, Stormy weather worn star, Stormy Daniels plays President Trump, broke the law, had her bullied? Does Stormy Daniels have the President's number? It sure seems that way the President Trump might have met his match with Stormy Daniels. How is Stormy weathering this? Stormy speaks. We're hearing quite a bit from Stormy Daniels. Stormy's in her own words, isn't going anywhere. Stormy Daniels has a good lawyer. The porn star Stormy Daniels was telling the truth. Stormy Daniels is on a tear quick preview. Is Stormy Daniels interview this Sunday breaking news that Stormy Daniels Stormy Daniels, Stormy Daniel, Stormy Daniel, Stormy Daniels, and Stormy Daniels, Stormy Daniels, Stormy Daniels. The reason he can engage with Stormy Daniels is because she's got his number, your soft porn network. Uh, I'm glad you guys enjoyed. It's true. All right, So what we did last night on having fun, But I actually took the questions that from a Jerry Springer show and I interspersed them with the questions of Anderson Cooper because Anderson Cooper was between the two interviews that he did about two alleged consensual relationships. You know, back twelve thirteen years ago, Donald Trump wasn't thinking of running for president, believe it or not. I'm not even getting into the issue. But how does the network ignore the serious charges on Clinton? Oh? That's right. Then they hired Begala and Carvil and everybody else from the Clinton era and the Obama era, axel Rod and Van Jones. Is there anybody they don't hire that's a liberal, leftist democrat anyway? But you intersperse it, and I think it makes my point. So it's like the same questions that Anderson is asking the same questions that Jerry Springer asks listen Trump to turn around and take off his pants. Yes, and yes, you're young, you like that fun, your party girl, etcetera. So what's the so, what's the story here? And you had sex with him? Do you want to be with her boyfriend? Now it's just the one time thing? Did you want to have sex with him? But I didn't. I didn't say now you're not interested in being with him? It's it's just a customer, right, Or are you interested in being with him he ends up taking me home? You work in an industry where condom uses is an issue? Did did he use a condom? Did you ask him to? So you had sex with him? Yeah? Okay, it sounds exactly like Jerry Springer, you know. And then if you go back and you want to take it even a bigger step further, is you just go back? It wasn't that long ago, Although I know there's another generation out there that really probably doesn't know the stories of Jaunita and Kathleen and Paula and how the media at the time dismissed Bill Clinton's accusers. I mean, and just imagine these things said about Stormy Daniels, who's only talking about a consensual relationship. And imagine if they were just saying these things about they were saying these things about, you know, women that had alleged real assault as it relates to Bill Clinton. Imagine this being said about Stormy in the era of Me Too. Listen, Yes, the case was being fomented by right wing nuts, and yes she's not a very credible witness, and it's really not a law of case at all. I'm sleazy woman with big hair coming out of the trailer. I think she's a dubious witness. I really do forget an off luck to talk about this week, including the sexual harrassment suita against the president course and that one stuff to video. Who's really being arrested? I'm not trying to hurt the president? Did she say that with a straight face? Why does anyone care what this woman has to say? But is bottom line, sam is is she not trying to to capitalize on this in effect to to profit for impugning the president? I have to profess complete confusion over this entire case. Why this is even a case. If any man I don't care who he is, invites me to a room and pulls his pants down and asked me to do something. He's going to have a decided lamp from that day on, and I go on with my life. I don't need to sue anyone. It doesn't traumatize me. I don't understand why this is even a case to begin with. The story doesn't deserve to be dignified by being broadcast and display. When I find it fascinating about this case is that we've sunk so low now that a charge of this magnitude can be leveled against the President of United States with next to no evidence in all its epic. That's outrageous. I was written either in time or news. We could even the woman herself wanted a broadway, said she hoped that Just Seen went away this week, and she even she was sick of hearing about Are we going to look back on this time a hundred years from now the way we look back on Salem. We're reaching the point where we're going to wind up with government by goody goodies, government repeated by people who have done nothing in their life except walk the straight and narrow, who have no creative thoughts. We're gonna look back on this a hundred years from now and say we drove some of our best people out of politics. Yeah, but uh, Bob's fine. Okay, we just got word he is hospitalized, but we expect him to make a speedy recovery. Our sources on the ground in Israel are passing on to us, so we're we're hoping and praying he's okay. Um, So, I I mean, you just look at the coverage, and you look at all that you got here. I mean Anderson versus Jerry Springer kind of sums it up. I mean, he's the leader, he is the face of CNN fake news, and and I'll be honest, I have nothing against Anderson Cooper, but I think the interviews were creepy and personal and the only thing missing from the interviews, to be perfectly honest, can you describe it all? And they almost got to that in sixty minutes. Over time, they had a specific question that didn't make air, and I'm like, wow, Wow, this is really creepy. They wanted me to make a movie and movie of you having sex with somebody who looked like and I said no repeatedly, much to there. You know, physically, you've seen him in ways that other people haven't correct and if need be, I can describe that his private parts. Really, Anderson is that I can describe it to talk about a consensual relationship. I mean, wow, I mean, are we gonna scrutinize media people like this? I just you know, we're gonna ask questions of their boyfriends and girlfriends and so on and so forth. I doubt it. And it's really the creep factor here is you know, it was funny because we actually went back and even you know, if you look at the New York Times, I mean, remember this is sixty minutes now, sixty minutes rightly did interview Kathleen Willie because they saw that that was relevant. But this is unprecedented as far as anything I've ever seen. And you know, nobody seems to have connected the dots that they're not talking about Russia anymore at all, because Russia has been debunked. You fall out tonight in the Russia investigation, Russian Russian, Russian, Russians, Russian Russian, Russia, Russia for Russia, Russian, Russian, Russian, Russia, and Russia Russia, the Russian Russia, Russia, Russians, Russian, Russian Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russa Russian Russia, Russians, the Russian Russia, and the Russia Russian, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russian Russian. An OpEd in the New York Times they actually said publicly humiliating anyone for consensual adultery is draconian and wrong. Oh apparently, except if your name is Donald Trump and you believe the allegations. I mean it is. These are these are these are uncharted waters we're living in here, we're following here. These are times that I I never expected in my life. You know, You've got the biggest abuse of power scandal in the history of the country, and for the most part, the media is ignoring all of it. Hillary fixes a primary, no big deal. If I was a Bernie supporter, I'd be piste. You know, Hillary has uh called me and Struck and Page and Lynch and McCabe. Uh. They're they're putting the fixing in her investigation. They're not gonna really look into the crimes. We know there are crimes we've identified of eighteen USC seven mishandling destroying classified information top secret. She did it. And then if any of you dare I dare any of you take subpoena documents on your email and just just delete them and acid washing the hard drive and beat up your your devices with what do you think is gonna happen? And then she pays for Russian information and they don't care she paid for Russian and Russian government lies. And then those lines are used as the bulk of an application for a Fizer warrant to spy on an American well actually an entire opposition campaign. Unbelievable times the media ignores all of that. All right, Linda's got some announcements she wants to make. What do you got, It's very very serious. I want to send a shout out to Shelley. Shelley has actually been a long time listener of the show. She used to call when I was called screening, and we became buddies and we still talk. And she heard me the other day talking about Moonshine and how I've never no, I've watched the series about moonshiners that looks like honey. So there's three clients. The first one is apple Pie Moonshine, Apple Pie Moonshine. So the other one is Moonshine cherry. It looks like what do you call those mirrors? The funny thing about this, she says, A little chocolate ice cream, a little moonshine, cherry, I have a good time. And then last, but not least, is her favorite, which is BlackBerry moonshine. And the name of it, it's from Tennessee. I didn't know that smoky smoking they call moonshine. All right, now, how do you know that that's real moonshine? Have you tasted? It's from one of our listeners, So I trust, But you know this, don't don't. Don't get her arrested. You know it's illegal to do this. This is legal. It's it's distributed. This isn't like you know in the backyard milk car and this is distributed. It's distributed moonshine, distributed moonshine. It's got you know, it's got branding and you PC code. But I thought it was like clear moonshine or most moonshine is clear. The stuff he used to clear up the acne on your face as drink. So that's the stuff that I promised my kids if they ever got a tattoo, I'll acid wash the tattoo. Bleach bit their arms. I'll bleach bit their arms. Yeah, what a horrible thing for father to say. No, But in all series, this this is this looks Come on, take a swig on air? Take it? Take a take a swig on the air. Well, you don't take swigs on the air. There's no real effect. What is that? Get your shine on? Let's go shine? No, no, no, no, do it? Really? Come on? Come on, all right, when we get back, you'll do it. No, well, come on't, I can't. I'll take a swig after you do. You do it. I'll do it. You do it? Is there any We're not really doing it if it's illegal, but we'll do it anyway. All right, so we'll come back. You're gonna take a swig of moons do it? Do it? You do it? I'll do it all right. Then we'll get that. I'll get all shines. No peer pressure on the Sean Hannity Show, whatsoever. In the meantime, can you look up any FCC regulations? The deep state already wants me in jail. By the way, Amy Kramer is there? Why Amy? How are you? Amy? Is that real moonshine? You're from Georgia. I want to know. What do you mean you don't know? She said absolutely, and she is thirsty. All right, we'll try moonshine as long as it's legal when we get back. And then the other news of the day. By the way, the president has gotten the money for the wall. I've been telling everybody, and now we've got confirmation, and I'll address that when we get back. One Shawn toll Free number. Alight to the top of the well. We we're moon shine, Sunshine. Where's our where's our moonshine? You actually want to do moonshine on the air? Well? What flavors are they? I can't drink anything cherry because it's cherries BlackBerry, and there's moonshine cherries. I think. Well, I'll tell you what if it's really legal, what I'd like to do is take the apple pie one. Would you like the apple pie? But I won't talk American apple pie? But I want to take that one home and try it tonight. You're not taking it home. It was a gift for me. Oh, you're not gonna let hang on her hips. I'm gonna bring you some in the radio dial lemon drop, take a sip stop all right, I have mine now, Ethan's gonna bring you in yours. I'm never gonna do it together because nothing sounds better on the air than two people drinking moonshine, I think, which no one can see your experience. I have never had moonshine that I know off well, this is the this is the first time for all those years, I think, I who know of? Are you ready? Are we counting one to hang on together? Together? We have to do it together? One? Two three? Kane, Oh, I like it. I like it good. It's not as strong as I Shelly good taste from Tennessee, my friend, thank you. It's not even strong. I'm drinking up. What do you mean it's not strong? What are we talking? Maybe we need to do Kentucky clear, which they're saying right now. I need to be able to walk home. Turn your party light off. See now, this is what we need to get through a show talking about the deep state. Now I feel much better about all this same. I'll give Amy Kramer and her daughter a little bit. I'll stop, Amy Kramer can't wait. Put your party light on? Come on, Amy, put it on. I always thought, because I'm so stupid, I watched the Uh, I watched the show Moonshine. I love all of those shows. I like the Alaska What's My Alaska Show that I love so much, the Wilderness show Undercover no no no, no, no, no no no, the one, the Alaska show where they're like totally survival show. No, the one where they live all over different parts of Alaska and they're on their own. Should have asked me before Moonshine. You don't remember. Oh so you can't remember, and you're like frustrated because you're supposed to be the filling the gaps for old people like me that it doesn't remember. Anyway, I watch all those shows and I I mean, if you need fire, would you cut your own firewood? If you need food, you better get it. In the season where food is, I mean, there's one guy that has all of these sleigh dogs. Life. I love Life Belows Heero. Then all right, so you watch Life Belows Here and you literally have like three months to get enough food for the year, and so you gotta and then you gotta prepare the meat. Then you got do it everything yourself, everything, And I just think it's amazing that though it's I think I would absolutely for a while love that life, at least I think I would. Are we gonna start talking about going out to the woods to die again? Is that what we're going with us? No? No, no, Well, let me tell you right now, that is the truth. That is what I'm going. If God forbid, I am diagnosed with an incurable disease that is gonna kill me, I am. I am absolutely bringing my family around me and the people I love around me, and I'm gonna have a big party. Might as well hire Florida Georgia Line and we'll get our shine on. And I'm gonna say my goodbyes, and I'm gonna find a place where nobody knows where I'm going. I'm not saying that I'm not gonna have medical care or try to get well, but I don't want my kids spending their life given Daddy a sponge bath in bed and wasting the rest of their life. Maybe I'm hanging on for five more years, and I and even clean myself after I go to the bathroom. I don't want my kids doing that. To take such a fun moment and just crashed the show into all she asked. She asked me, you gonna talk about going out. You're gonna talk about going out into the woods again. Now all of us are gonna be starting drinking moonshine. No, stop this, But think for a second. I am being selfless by saying that, by saying I don't want my kids wasting how it might be years of their life given me, you know, sponge baths, baths and cleaning me up after I soil myself. I don't want them to do that. They can hire someone to help, okay, I but I don't want them to see me in that condition. I want them to remember me when I was fully, completely alive, not this thing that's lying there, you know, just making a mess every five hours and and literally incapable of doing a thing for myself. I think it's quite selfish. No, it's selfish if I demand that they do that, because then their whole life gets disrupted. I want them to remember as Dad was when he was really alive. And I think it's self less actually to say and prepare. Look, if I'm gonna it's not like I'm I want to leave them, but I don't want them to watch me rot awake, because sometimes people hang on forever. I never thought i'd missed Stormy Daniel's covers. Uh. I don't you think that you don't see any self lessness in that at all. No, they're your children, they love you. They're gonna want you around as long as okay want me around. What I'm babbling to myself, m I'm gonna be really entertaining for YouTube channels in your old age when you really you want to do this on Facebook live Hannity, Hannity will have a live cam. Hannity dying will be giving you the moonshine, barrels, barrels of moonshine. I'll be honest. I remember my grandfather's This strong guy has a horrible stroke half his body and it's like he that's I don't want to remember him like that. I remember the guy. It was strong and tough and and and built a life out of nothing. And that's the person that I try to remember. But you still have images of him in my bed because that's where we put him at the time of of him suffering, and we did everything for him, but not even mind doing it. But I just think for me, I would prefer that I have a big party. I say goodbye. I promise you all you'll hear when I'm dead or when I'm recovered. Either way, it doesn't look like I'm recovering. The doctor says, I have three months to live, but I'm gonna fight and try and fight on my own and do the best I can. And when I die, I want you to remember, have a big party again, and remember the part of me that was alive, not the part of me that is incapable of doing basic human functions. Well, I assure you that when you die, boy, I won't come sponge you or wipe you. You can do all that stuff in the woods with someone you hire. And I'm not gonna already back here and I say the moonshine you can pay for it. I I mean, I won't fight. You want it, you know, if you want to cater it and hire f gl and you want me to you know, that's for the good bye. No, that's no. No, you're not listen. You're not listening to me. The party, the hiring of the band, I'm going to enjoy. Then we'll go, and I'm not going I have to have the party with you there. You're such a wise ass, you know, I'm not. You're in your spirit. I'm not going. I'm claiming my time. I'm not I'm not going to the woods. I'm gonna are you going? I'm not telling anybody. I'm I will find a place, gonna go to Achema. I will find a place where nobody knows where I will. It's very uncomfortable where I will be getting medical treatment. You know, you know where I want to go. I'm gonna go get the medical treatment that the FDA hasn't approved at that. One of the things that I loved about the President's speech is State of the Union. He said, let people decide if they want to, you know, try this, you know, experimental drug. Why is the government no, you can't try that drug even though you're you're scheduled to die in ninety days. Well, if it's my body and I'm about to die, and it's got even one percent chance, I hope, and I'm willing to take it, it's none of their business if I want to take that drug. I agree with you. I have decided that I will cure all illness with moonshine. Okay, breaking news, but I will. But we all I'll do is I will say goodbye just to finish the thought. And I bet you our audience agrees with me, I will say goodbye. I will go somewhere when nobody knows. I won't have my family sponge bathing me and taking care of me and cleaning me up every five hours and putting and putting and putting apple sauce in my mouth, uh, every five minutes. Sauce. Okay, there's nothing worse than putting apple sauce in the mouth of an old person and thinking that that is the greatest thing that ever happened in my day. I'd rather be dead at that point. That's my own. This is not okay, very okay, all right, We done now, Amy, you agree with me? Right, Amy Kramer agrees with me. Her daughter Bring and Kylie are here, and they're on my side as just as any understood rule. They're on your side of the of the jello and not apple sauce. All right. That's the other thing. I don't like jello, and I don't want to be fed apple sauce. Haven't got favor, and I don't want to. You know, my diaper put on when I'm eighty years old or eighty five years old, I've put last trips to the bathroom. Diapers are very convenient. Then you can wear them yourself and never go to the bath. I'll wear them with pleasure. They have lovely designs. And you go, you go, and you hang out and let your family suffer. And I'm gonna I am going to lift that burden off of my face so they never have to see me that way. You look strong. In the end, there's no hope for you. All right. I do have some news. I gotta get it to now. Um. So the left is losing their mind because, for the first time in seventy years, the census is gonna ask about citizenship. What's wrong about asking about citizenship? Can anyone explain to me why we shouldn't know are you a citizen? And why asking that question is even remotely a bad idea? I don't know what the problem is anyway. The Justice Department asked the Census Bureau to reinstate the question of the census. It's not appeared since nineteen fifty. At the start of every decade, the bureau counts the total number of people in the US and the total number of citizens to determine each states congressional influence, and other relevant manners. Why it's not like you're gonna put the people in jail if they say, no, I'm not a citizen. Now, the California Attorney General, Zavier Sarah whatever his name is, we've had a month before, is said, uh that he's going to file a lawsuit. Je's shocking. The sanctuary state's gonna file a lawsuit against the Trump administration because they're they're upset over the question. We're prepared to do what we must do to protect California. California just needs to leave at this point. If they're so unhappy with the rest of the country and they want to run and they don't want to obey the laws that the rest of us have to obey, maybe they should go out on their own. Now there is a sheriff. This guy is gonna be on Hannity tonight. They announced that they're gonna provide public information on inmates that are released from jail, and that, of of course, is because of the backlash against the liberal state sanctuary laws that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The Orange County Register Reporting the County Sheriff's Department will publish who's in jail online of database, including the date and time of the inmates release to help cooperate with other law enforcement agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE. And now you have also an anti sanctuary state movement picking up steam in UH in Orange County. And just more than a week after UH, this tiny city, Los uh Alamidos voted to DeFi California's law protecting illegal immigrants. Orange County is now poised to become a counterpoint against the state's resistance to the Trump administration and federal law. Which is all good. Now. The best news is and I told you when the omnibus spending bill came in, I said, I'm telling you the President's gonna pay for the wall. Now. Of course, he's negotiating with Mexico to see if he can get a better trade deal, and then ultimately he's gonna make the argument of Mexico pays for the wall. But in the meantime, he didn't say that they were going to write him at check. I actually asked him that very well, very questioned many times during the campaign. You're not expecting Mexico to write you're a check, are you? And he said no, but we're gonna negotiate better deals and ultimately they will be paying US pack for the wall. So the Democrats who claimed last week that the spending omnibus ending bill is not gonna be used for the wall, they thought they only allocated one point six billion dollars. Well, it turns out uh. Steve Doocey this morning clarifying this dispute, he was interviewing the White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley. Uh, And the speaker told us that you can use concrete, Doocy said. Senator Schumer says, you can't use concrete to build the wall. You can only improve the fence. So what are you saying here? Can you use it for a new wall construction? Gidley respondents, my understanding, you absolutely can, noting that the Hispanic Caucus came out vehemently against this bill for two reasons. One is because, in a letter they wrote to the President, it bolsters the president's deportation fence quote unquote, and also it builds a wall. And Sarah Huckabee Sanders noted that the passage of the spending bill that a hundred miles of new walls are already authorized, and the President said Sunday, well, he's gonna use is part of the new Defense appropriation funding to build the rest of the wall. And then you have congressional representation for sanctuary states could shrink under the new planned account the citizens. That's another interesting article. And you have another GOP senator is introduced to build and catch and release for illegal immigrants. Not that in not Senator Jim Inhoff. Not that anybody in California is gonna listen to what the president says. By the way, you're reading all this stuff about Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom is not going to be president. You he thinks he's gonna be president. He's not going to be president. Send him some moonshine. Yeah, he's gonna need some of that moonshine by the time, by the time somebody gets to him and to give him the news. All right, as we roll along. Sean Hannity Show eight d nine for one, Sean Peter Schweitzer, when do you hear the inside story how Biden and carries kids, you know, literally making billion dollar deals. It's pretty unbelievable. Um, you know, interesting, I don't know whether to get into this or not. Interesting story On on media, they Stormy Daniel sixty minutes interview showed that this news story is starting to dissipate, and then it goes on at somewhere down at the bottom, and it goes And while you may roll your eyes whenever Sean Hannity invokes former President Bill Clinton in defense of Trump, he does have a point. How the country treated Clinton in the nineties and allegations of abuse and women did set a precedent. Yeah, you think so? If I was Chairman good Land, what I would do quickly because I had to go through this for the last year fighting Department of Justice and FBI for documents. I think the American people now know that they stone wall for many, many months so that we could actually figure out that Fusion GPS was paid by the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign to collude and interact with Russians to get dirt on President Trump. That took us a long time to find out. And and what I would recommend to my colleagues on the House Tiary Committee, and I apploded Chairman good Let for what he's doing, But don't wait. So when we get back in two weeks, if the one point two million documents aren't in the Capitol, then he should immediately move to whole Department of Justice and the FBI and contempt. Uh and if we have to vote on contempt, then we should immediately move to impeach those officials. That would be using the full power of the Congress. Alright, hour to Sean Hannity Show on Shawn if you want to be a part of the program. That was Devin Nooness talking to Maria Barratromo of the Fox Business Channel. If Congress doesn't get the documents, well we should hold the FBI and the d o J accountable and in contempt and move the to impeach officials. Now what what's so amazing about this is the House Judiciary Committee. Bob Goodluck will join us at the bottom of this half hour. He has now subpoenaed the one point two million d o J documents. Remember they've only handed over about a little over three thousand of these, and he says, well, we want to see everything that the Inspector General has. Now, part of this investigation is to the botched and frankly rigged and fixed handling of the Clinton email server investigation, So that that's part of it. Um. Also, remember we we have this big question mark. I have appointed a person outside Washington many years in the Department of Justice to look at all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us, and we're conducting that investigation. So Chairman good Luck will answer that question. I also want to know why they apparently are pushing back the Inspector General for the release of the Inspector General's report, because I'd like to get to the bottom of that. Um now we have, uh, you know what, there's one article that was in the Sun Sentinel and or where did I see this? I forget? You know, one of the reasons we're getting to the bottom of all of this, and they this is the phrase that they use. It's one former deeply embedded members of the intel community comprising of the FBI, the n s A, the d o J have now formed together a powerful force whistleblower group network to expose you know, what is the the soft coup attempt and the abuse of the powerful tools of intelligence of the deep state. But Bill Benny, you know, forty plus years of highly trained specialist with the n s A and a group of other intelligence specialists, now they're not They're not standing by and watch this happen without it or without exposing it. So that's part of it, and it's really important that we get to the bottom of it. Now. One other thing that I want to get to and then I'm gonna introduce our guests, is that there are new text messages and nobody seemed to pay attention to it. And Congressman Mark Meadows, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, you know, keep sending members of members over there only looking at the three thousand pages. But I mean they're so extensive and comprehensive that nobody's had the time to get to every page anyway, So late Sunday night he was able to release a few of the latest texts incriminating from Lisa Struck and and Page Lisa Page, Peter Struck in Lisa Page, the FBI love Birds, and uh. Anyway, it seems like Jim Comey has more questions to answer um and whether or not he's part of this coordinated effort to collude with Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump in remember they're the ones that wrote about the need for an insurance policy. Of this newly released July text between Page and Struck show a troubling reference to the former FBI director James Comey, potentially interfering in the election. And the first line actually says they quoted an article and this is a text from Lisa Page to Peter Struck citing this article, Uh, potentially unpleasant news for Jim Comey. We need you to intervene in the election. Again, What does the US government know about Russia and the d n C hack? That's pretty interesting, by the way, at this point, I'm convinced, you know, as it relates to who got Hillary Clinton and John Podesta's emails, Well, we know that at least six foreign intelligence agencies hacked in the Hillary Clinton server. What was it? Let's see, Brussia, was it China? Was it North Korea? Was it Iran? You know, it could have been any one of these countries. So what Mark Meadows is pointing out that these two high level FBI agents who appear to be discussing and laughing about Comey and him potentially getting involved in the sixteen election, days after the Russia investigation into the Trump campaign had begun, and he asked a question on Twitter, at what point does all this troubling information become enough that we can appoint a special counsel for a you know, for a nonsense collusion case with zero evidence. But we can't do the same for the d o J that by now appears as clear as day is that they're politicized. That's not the first message anyway. David Shone now joins US along with Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst David Shoon, a civil rights attorney. Thank you both for being with us. Uh, Greg, you've been following this. Very few in the media picked up on the latest Struck Page text here. What I thought that was a pretty interesting fine by Mark Meadows. What are your thoughts? Every time new Peter Struck Lucy page text messages are revealed, we find more of how they were trying to subvert justice and undermine democracy. They were they were trying to get Hillary Clinton elected and defeat Donald Trump, and once he won, then they tried to bring him down. And there messages, you know, are pretty clear. Now we have our work it out for us, which seems to match their earlier emails about an insurance policy in case Trump is elected. There's no doubt that they were working with Comy McCabe, James Rubickie, James Baker, all of the top FBI officials to bring down Trump and prop up Clinton, And as far as the you know good lad Uh Committee is concerned, never again should Congress ever ask for documents. Skip the asking, Slap the Department of Justice and the FBI with peanut so we can time limit. If they failed to meet the time limit, then move for impeachment. So then we can have Rod Rosenstein begging Paul Ryan again not to release information that the public needs to see. That's exactly right. That's what he did before, and he'll do it again and it won't work. I'm hearing, Uh, David shown that the Inspector General report is being delayed for reasons that have not been sufficiently explained to me. We were told I was going to be out next week and early April. Now they're talking about May. Why do you think that is? I really don't know, but I'd like to give him the benefit of doubt and think that they're really backlog now. Um. The investigation is taking them down avenues they never could have anticipated, and I'd like to think it means that they're taking the job very seriously, as I've known Mr Harwits to do in the past. UH. And they're gonna be tough with crook at FBI agents and others. But I have to return isn't isn't Harowitz though, and Obama point to and I know he's the one that released If it wasn't for him, struck in Page wouldn't have been exposed and kicked off Mueller's team. And he's got he's got a career of being a straight shooter. He is an Obama point, he's pointing in two thousand twelve. But he's got a career of being a straight shooter. Why am I afraid of those words? Because that's what people said about Mueller and it turns out not to be true. Yeah, well that's a good point. That's a good point, and certainly it turned out not to be true. Look, I think what's vitally important here is you point out at the beginning of the show. At the end of the hour, Congress is starting to take a central road. Remember role Article one gives them that authority Article one of the constitutions. They're a coequal part of government. These guys are starting to wake up now they've got all kinds of authority in Michael Harwoods, by the way, reports to Congress. Also he reports director the Attorney General, and to Congress this. These Congressional committees play a vitally important role in all of the investigations you've discussed, and as you know and have reported in the FISA scandal that's going on, and in fact, Judge Collier and the fives accord told Congress that they should be getting documents directly from the Justice Department these wire tap applications and otherwise it looks like Congress is getting involved, and they've got to. And by the way, Congress can have a central role in the Special Council uh investigation. Also, they can subpoena to their own witnesses. Witnesses a special counsel you know, seems to be going after to threaten and that sort of thing. The regulations build in for Congress to have a role in that process also, and if they want to get the truth out of witnesses, Congress can give them immunity so we can find out what really happened here. You I mean, I think that Greg is right, let's stop with the please hand us over this, because we're wasting valuable time. And I think that you know, there's so much serious information here. I don't see any other way but a special Counsel at this point, what do you think that Jeff's Sessions means? And what was he saying when he made the comment to Shannon Bream that I've appointed a person outside of Washington many years in the Department of Justice to look at all the allegations at the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us were conducting that investigation. I mean, what how do we interpret that, Greg Well who recommended him? My guess is it was Rod Rosenstein who recommended somebody that he knows. And Rosenstein, of course should never be trusted. Uh. You know, he's basically a Democrat Baltimore politician and who is always cited with Obama and Clinton and against Trump. So Jeff Session says, let me go back to the statement. He says, I have appointed Sessions doesn't know anybody in in the Department of Justice or formerly the Department of Jesse's the U S. Senator. He didn't know anybody and so and just look at his appointments of Rod Rosenstein was based on recommendations. He didn't appoint anybody on it. Recusal was based on the recommendation of Obama people, wasn't it. Well, I'm sorry, didn't hear his recusal was based on the recommendation of Obama people. Oh absolutely it was. And it started he didn't know anybody at d o J. And the next day, according to his testimony, walked and started meeting with Department of Justice officials. Who were they? They were Obama holdovers. And so, I mean, he's been totally snookered at every turn. He's oblivious. He's not in charge of the Justice Department. Rob Rosenstein is. And you know a Sessions is being a letter around by the nose. What do you think, David, Well, you know, one thing Mr Sessions could do in this case, even after his recusal, is certainly to limit what Rob Rosenstein's role in this and certainly eliminate his his role in the position that he holds Um he could get very much involved in that. Look, Jeff Sessions, certainly if he wanted to. He certainly knows his lawyer is an outsider who also knows the Justice Department inside. Now that's Chuck Cooper, one of the top lawyers in Washington. Should have been the Solicitor General in this administration, but he didn't want to go through all of this mud Um. I don't know. The comments very cryptic. I will say this. You know he asked earlier about Mr Harwito's investigation. It might be telling that in November, just a couple of months ago, Mr Harrowitz was before Congress asking for authority for his office to uh investigate misconduct by d O J attorney prosecutors who formerly, you know, otherwise just report to the Office of Professional Responsibility. So it's hard to know what road that's going down. I don't know what Mr Sessions meant by that comment. One can imagine all kinds of conflicts of interest if you suggesting the person that's most conflicted as Rosenstein. As Rosenstein apparently signed off on using the bulk of information from the dossier to at least go ahead with the second FISA application, the renewal application at least one, if not two, and then he hires Mueller. So I'm sorry, but he seems like he should have been conflicted out a long time ago. All right, stay right there. Eight hundred nine one Shawn David shown Greg JAREDO with us as we roll along. David shown Greg JAREDA with us as we continue our investigation into Deep State Gate. All right, let's let's look forward. I would say the following people besides Andrew McCabe, Gregor in trouble. I would say James Comey is in legal has legal issues, certainly Struck in Page. The fact that they're there makes me wonder if they've cut a deal and are singing like little birds. Um, then we've got you know, Andrew McCabe, but also Loretta Lynch. Beyond that, who else do you see potentially dealing with legal issues, especially on the personal side. The five people who altered the exoneration statement composed by Jim Comey, and that would be McCabe, Rebecky Baker, Lisa Page, Peter Struck. Those are the five people involved. The electronic UH communications which have since been discovered prove it. So they're all in jeopardy under obstruction of justice. But I would say Comey is is in the greatest jeopardy of all because remember he stole government documents, four of which were classified, kept him at home in an unauthorized location, and gave four of the seven, meaning one classified document at least to his friend who now, by the way, as says he is the legal counsel for Comy and invoking attorney client privilege for both Comy and himself, Daniel Richmond, isn't that convenient? And who do you see, David shaung I think those are the list of characters. The big question is who's going to bring it, Who has the guts, who has the integrity to bring a prosecution an investigation? First? And certainly isn't the criteria under the Special Council regulations and Special Council Statute triggered by these facts to a much greater degree than it was for the Special Counsel Force of investigation that we have. Now we've got to get going with this, though, it's got to be soon. The appointment of Special Counsel House, the House should be investigating these things and bring some life to what we've been talking about for a while. And I'm gonna say, Mr Rosenstein, you know he probably needs to leave the position. You don't need to know anything more about his judgment than the appointment of Mr Mueller, and beyond at that, he sat idly by with the team that Mr Mueller appointed to join him in Special Council. Remember, the Special Council was appointed because the Justice Department had a conflict. So many members of that team or Obama administration Justice Department officials fresh from the Justice Department. Now with the Clinton email thing arising again, you've got a prosecutor Jeanie Ree, who was Clinton's person. Such a good point. The Special Council team, and don't forget Bruce or yeah, all right, thank you both, David Shone, Greg Jarrett when we come back, Bob good Lad, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Peter Schwitzer straight ahead, if I was Chairman good Lad, what I would do quickly because I had to go through this for the last year, fighting Department of Justice and FBI for documents. I think the American people now know that they stone wall for many, many months so that we could actually figure out that Fusion GPS was paid by the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign to collude and interact with Russians to get dirt on President Trump. That took us a long time to find out. And and what I would recommend to my colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee. And I applauded Chairman good Lad for what he's doing, But don't wait. So when we get back in two weeks, if the one point two million documents aren't in the Capitol, then he should immediately move to whole Department of Justice and the FBI and contempt. UH. And if we have to vote on contempt, then we should immediately move to impeach those officials. That would be using the full power of the Congress. Alright. That was Devin Newness on with Maria bart Romo over the weekend on her weekend program. Joining us now is Congressman Bob good Lad of Virginia. He's the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. UH. He's not wasting any time in getting to truth as it results to a lot of these issues, and anyways, now expected to subpoena the do O j U to obtain documents related to how the FBI handled their probe into the Hillary Clinton's email server UH and other issues. Mr good Lad, welcome to the program. Thank you for being with us. Sean, thank you. It's gonna be with you and your listeners. Why am I hearing that the i G report now maybe pushed back a month? Is that true? Well, I've talked to the Inspector General UH and he committed to getting it done in April, but he has to go through a lot of hoops. He has to give it to the three principles in the Department of Justice before he releases the public and UH, part of this will be classified, which can come to the Congress, UH, but it cannot go to the public, so they are in the process. Is this something that can be declassified, like like the memos that went to the White House for declassification, I would hope. So I can't say until I see it. But in my opinion, as much of this is can get to the American people as possible without uh, you know, in any way jeopardizing sources, I think should be made available as soon as possible. But I'm still hoping that we'll see it by the before the end of April. But it is a little later than we had hoped, and it is important that the American people see this. We have a lot of confidence in the Inspector General, but we won't know what we have until he files his report. But the Inspector General report goes well beyond the investigation into Hillary's email server scandal, correct it could. Uh. He was just recently asked by the Attorney General to also look at the FISA warrant issue. What we said about that was great, We want you to look into that too, but we also want a special council appointed because you can't go beyond the Department of Justice. Uh. You've got witnesses who have left the Department of Justice, You've got witnesses in other departments. Uh. And you don't have prosecutorial powers. He can refer for prosecution, but he can't prosecute himself. So we think that a special counsel is needed. And we also think that he should get this report out regarding regarding how the FBI handled the Clinton email and related matters out now and not wait until he's also done this other work on the FISA warrant. We need the information out. Is there any doubt in your mind, Hillary Clinton, when she used a outside server and we know there was classified top secret special access programming classification on that hard drive in a mom and pop shop, that the early exoneration letters or exoneration statements of Comey and Struck referred to the fact that foreign intel services had hacked into that and I imagine that it was probably easy to do. Is there any doubt that eighteen USC. Seven ninety three, which says mishandling a classified information or one of the subsections that says destroying classified information? Uh, do you have any doubt those those things were violated? And is it obstruction of justice if you delete subpoened emails, then destroy the hard drive and destroy any devices that might have the emails. To have a whole series of issues that were raised back when James Comey went before the television cameras to announce all the things she had done wrong. And I was waiting to hear him say therefore, instead I heard however, uh, And it is inexplicable to me. And that's why Chairman Trey Goudy of the Oversight Number four Committee and I launched UH an investigation into how the FBI handled all of this starting last October. That's why we want the documents, which I finally usued a subpoena for UH last Thursday. UH. The Inspector General has been looking through one point two million documents. We've gotten a few thousand documents. I've had conversations now with both the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI. We have their attention. I think we're going to see more documents soon, but we need them now. We need them unredacted. We know that on the email server alone. Isn't it expected that you're requesting one point two million documents. Yes, oh, yes, very definitely. They know we want everything that the Inspector General has, minus the transcripts of grand jury uh testimony, which we we cannot get under this subpoena, but everything else I mentioned eighteen USC seven about mishandling and destroying classified and top secret and special access programming. If if you subpoened Sean Hannity as as the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and you subpoened email records, and and I just decided to delete about oh, let me guess thirty three thousand of them, just to pull a number out of thin air. I just deleted them, and I asked and washed my hard drive with bleach bit, and then I broke up any devices where those emails might be on as well. Um, would you say I was trying or attempting to obstruct justice? Is that a crime? It would look very seriously like a crime. The Congress can't prosecute you, but we would definitely refer it for investigation and prosecution. How long ago? If I, if I'm not mistaken, didn't Chas and Chafe its this this information a long time ago, like a year, year, and a half ago. I don't think it's the same information, but it is. It is um uh information that relates to the entire gamut of things that the FBI did during the presidential election, and then going into by the way, this should be bipartisan, Democrats, independence, everybody should be concerned about how the world's premier law enforcement organization were besmirched by a handful of people who in an incredibly biased manner, conducted this investigation. And Democrats should want to know why it was that Jim Comey announced publicly he was reopening the investigation UH ten days before the election. And they should want to know why UH Andrew McCabe was leaking to the Washington Post and to the to the Wall Street Journal about the Clinton investigation. So this is something that we shouldn't allow to go on and have the same kind of atmosphere infecting the presidential election both sides. Everybody should be concerned that the FBI should be a neutral, impartial, professional organization as every day thousands of FBI agents do keeping us safe, preventing terrorist attacks, solving crimes like this. I have no Mr Congressman, I have no problem with rank and file FBI I admire them, I admire our intel community, and I admire cia of people. UM, but you know, there's this is not what we're talking about when we're talking about you know, I never heard of an FBI investigation that is writing an exoneration months before they interview the main person in the case of Hillary Clinton, or seven seeing other people, or that Peter Struck, who we know has an agenda, is doing the interview. UM. It doesn't make sense to me to be writing an exoneration in May when you have an interviewed Hillary by July, and then two days after the interview your exonerator after pretty much admitting that the law was violated. It sounds to me like they were involved in obstructing justice for her, at least rigging the investigation. I think that is a very great concern. I'm pleased that the Attorney General fired Mr Cabe. I'm pleased that the new FBI director, Christopher Ray uh is UH making a number of changes in the leadership of that agency, that bureau. But we also need to see these documents, get the truth out to the American people, UH, and then the Congress can decide what other steps need to be taken. To make sure that this never happens again. Mm hmmm, well let me ask you. Let me ask you this because you also said that the do we know who this outside person that the Attorney General is talking about that is from within the Justice Department that we don't know the name of the person. Do you know the name of the person that the Attorney General is referring to that he is appointed to look into a lot of these matters. I do not know that that name is. I mean, what are we to infer from that that there is a private Justice Department investigation going on that nobody knows about. How do you I don't know. We need to find out more about that. But in my opinion, the Attorney General would be well served. Now we're pleased we said he would take the recommendation that I and Tray Gouty and now members of the Republican leadership in the House and UH leading senators like Chairman Grassley have all called for the appointment of a special council UH that person should be carefully selected, but then publicly appointed and given a specific charge to carry out this investigation. Do you worry that James Comey in fact ran interference for Hillary's investigation, because it certainly seemed like he did. I can't. I can't explain a number of actions by former Director Comey UH. And that is again why this Inspector General's report is important. What do you make that document? Also going to the Congress, which has a different set of responsibilities than the Inspector General, also needs to have it. And in my opinion, and I called for this months ago, we need to have an outside investigation. But I don't think you should be private. I think to be public. So I'm looking at the FISA investigation and the FISA warrant that's issued. Andrew McCabe himself said, but for the UH dossier, there would be no investigation. There wouldn't have been an application for a FISER warrant. Do we have we established completely that the FBI knew at the time of the October six FISA application, that Comey and others that they knew that, in fact, that Hillary had paid for that dossier. All right, as we continue with the Congressman Bob Goodlad, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, can't we can't we have subpoena these FISA court judges and ask them what they think about what has happened here. We think we can get the documents in in UH from the Department Justice. What we have from the court, UH is UH their acquiescence to the Department of Justice providing us with the documents, but they have not yet provide us with the document. Would it not be I'd like to know what the visor judges personally think about being lied to? Yes, UH, we're getting into an area where it would be unusual to to subpoena judge before the Congressman asked them to tell us about how they handled Well, wouldn't it be criminal of Sean Hannity went before a judge with with information I know to be false or not verified and and known to be political, but don't tell the judg isn't that lying by omission? It is? It is very concerning why these five and warrant applications were submitted based UH primarily upon a document that the FBI already knew was prepared by somebody that they were beginning to question UH their reliability with UH and nonetheless or whether how much they knew at that point about how the document was prepared and who paid for it and how it was delivered to them are all things that should be made very clear to the public. Um. But again, that is why this is so important. Uh. And it's not like simply saying, oh, that's that's you know, that happened the year and a half ago. It's old news. We should move on to other things. This is very very serious and it could happen again. Uh. And that's why the public needs to know why didn't happen here and what's being done to stop it from ever happening again. Knowing what we know about Bruce or about James Comey, Well, Comy is out, but Peter Struck in Lisa Page, why do they still have jobs at the FBI? That's an excellent question. Uh. And Uh, it would be my hope that action is being taken by the FBI Director h to remove them and to remove them, uh expeditiously. There have been a number of changes, the number of people have resigned. Uh. And I think that's good, but there's still more work to be done. Oh. I really appreciate everything you're doing. And I feel like I know these cases inside and out, and I'm pretty convinced crimes were committed and an abusive power scandal exists. Before us. UH, and I think the documentary requesting will will get and shed some light on what the whole truth is. But in in all honesty, Congress, when this whole thing stinks too high heaven in terms of abuse of power and corruption, do you see the same thing I see. I am very concerned about everything, and I have seen. That's why we need a special counsel. That's why we need these documents delivered to the Congress. UH. And that's why we need to have the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI continue to work to change, UH, the environment in the FBI so that we can have confidences won't happen in the presidentially. All right, I want to thank you Bob good loaddy as the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Mr Chairman, keep up the good work when we come back. Peter Schweitzer number one New York Times bestseller, brand new book, Secret Empires, How the American political class IDE's corruption and enrich his family and friends, And specifically we're gonna look at the families of Joe Biden and John Kerry and the Obama's next. But Mr Clapper then went on to say that to his knowledge, there was no evidence of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. We did not conclude any evidence in our report. And when I say our report, that is the n S, A, FBI, and CIA with my office the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything any reflection of collusion between the members of Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that in our report. Was Mr Clapper wrong when he said that, I think he's right about characterizing the report which you all have read. Is there any evidence of collusion you have seen yet? Is there There is a lot of smoke. We haven't smoking gun at this point, but there is a lot of smoke. Diane Feinstein has said there's no evidence of collusion, So collusion between whom? Can you tell us that. I'm not prepared to say that there's proof you could take to a jury, but I can't say that there is enough that we ought to be investigating. At the time you separated from service in January seventeen, had you seen any evidence that Donald Trump or any member of his campaign colluded, conspired to coordinated with Russians or anyone else to infiltratee or impact our voter infrastructure. UM not beyond what has been out there open source, and not beyond anything that I'm sure this committee has already seen and heard before directly from the intelligence community. All Right, that, of course no evidence of Trump Prussia collusion. Well, that narrative is pretty much dead. So let's talk about Stormy four seven uh and alleged. It's just ridiculous, how how absolutely abusively corrupt the news media is. And that's why bringing Peter Schwitzer back is so important because these are real issues, you know, not superfluous attack. Trump destroyed Trump uh, to try and and disenfranchise voters from Trump, delegitimized Trump, which is what the media has been trying to do since before the election, and it just accelerates every day with their willing accomplices in the news media. Peter Schweitzer. So he launched his his brand new book last week right here on this program. It's called Secret Empires, How the American political class hides core eruption and enriches families and friends. And when he was here last time, I told you that it's it's gonna take numerous appearances to do a deep dive into each each issue of corruption that he has discovered. If you remember his last book, Clinton Cash, came out in March of and look how long the run up as it relates to him first discovering everything involving uranium one and the money and the kickbacks, you know, to the point where I'm finally going to interview tomorrow the Uranium one FBI informant who literally could have stopped based on the information he had infiltrated Putin's network of operatives in America that were involved in bribery and extortion and kickbacks of money laundering. He infiltrated it, documented it, handed over to the FBI, and Siphy is still eighteen months earlier, knowing that Putin operatives wanted a foothold in America's uranium market, still approved the deal, and he's describing instances where they're saying they have Hillary Clinton in their pocket. So it took three years for the public to really really do the deep dive and understand everything involving uranium one and the talking point, oh that's been debunked. Really tell it to the guy that was indicted six weeks ago involved in uranium one. Uh, tell it to the informant that you'll see on my TV show tomorrow night. Anyway, Peter Schweitzer is back with us. Um it really is the big picture first, and congratulations another new number one New York Times bestseller. How is it possible all this corruption exists and that they have carved out this I don't know, exemption where Okay, they're not allowed to do deals with the Chinese, they're not allowed to do deals with the Qataris and the U A E and the Saudias, but their children and family can. And in the case of Joe Biden, he flies with his father to China and ten days later is how big was that? How many billion and a half dollars? It was a billion a half dollars. That's exactly right, Sean. I mean, what's so interesting is all the discussion about you know, Trump and his family. Uh, you know, there's constant attention, which, look, we we all think that's fine, let's have some scrutiny. Um, they all look at Oh, there may be a potential deal here, there may be a potential deal there. In the Biden case, there was a deal and it was a billion dollar deal that then six months later was expanded to a billion and a half dollars. It was with a foreign government. But ten days after Joe Biden left China, his son did the billion dollar deal. That's right. Okay, Now, maybe they think we're stupid, or maybe they want us to believe. Oh, don't worry that they're not related in any way. Um, if you believe that, I'll sell you a bridge to China from the United States, right, I mean, it's what you're really talking about, high level, deep level corruption here. No, you're exactly right, Sean, and and and here's the reality there. First of all, don't expect that somebody is going to take the effort to track down these deals. This was a research initiative that took us almost a year to confirm. It started with a tip that we got from somebody who was a former FBI official who said, you ought to look at family members doing deals in China. So we looked at Hunter Biden and he had set up this company called Rosemont Seneca Partners that was half funded by Chris Hines, the stepson of of John Carey uh and involved another carry aid named Devin Archer. So we looked at that company and we did a three sixty where did they do deals? And we quickly found they were doing deals in China, and we found these these entities that that did three deals, and we said, well, when did they do the deals and how did they happen, and we sort of laid this template of these deals, the timing of the deals with Joe Biden's activities with Beijing, and what you see is almost a near complete overlap. In other words, when Hunter Biden goes to meet with Chinese government officials to secure these deals, it almost completely overlaps with when his father is meeting with Chinese officials either in the United States or in China or sometimes in South Korea. So how much money are they making personally? I mean, because this is the one thing that you really do an amazing job on and that is that this this upper political class. They use their access, they use their connections, they work with even enemy countries. I mean, nobody's saying that China, Russia ran North Korea or in hostile entities towards the US and they make How much did they make on the billion and a half dollars? We don't know, And that's part of the problem. There's no disclosure requirement. Now, if you took the standard approach that that Hedge funds do. Based on feed percentage, you would expect it to be about thirty million a year, But we don't know if they got a standard deal they got it, might have gotten something that was better. Uh. The bottom line is you don't manage a billion and a half dollars for free. But beyond Sean the amount of money they made, the question becomes what happened with that billion and a half dollars? And when you start to trace how the son of the vice president and this carry a devon archer, steered that money, you find out this is not just a story of self enrichment. This is a story of with national security implications. So let me just give you one example. Hunter Biden has this billion half dollars to invest Chinese government money. One of the things they do is they become an anchor investor in something called CGN China General Nuclear. This is an atomic company in China. So you can already imagine what is the son of the vice president thinking of getting involved in this company? Thinking about money? That's I think he's thinking about That's exactly right, Sean. And they invest in this. A year later, the FBI charges senior officials in this company with stealing nuclear secrets in the United States, and and and Joe Biden's son got a billion dollar deal with this company. Yeah, he's invested in this company. He invests in c g N. So Alan Hoe, but he invests or he's got money from them. He gets the billion and a half from the Chinese government. He then takes part of that money and becomes an anchor investor in CGN. So he's a Chinese company, a Chinese They give him a sweetheart deal, right, you will do business with you. Here's a billion five and oh, by the way, you can invest in it because wink wink, not not. I think our new deal is gonna make a lot of money because of your American connections. That's right. And these investments have huge national security implications. You've got the CGN deal where a senior engineer with that company says, yes, you're right, I was trying to steal nuclear secrets and and and ends up going to jail. Another one of the investments, they invest in and buy part of a US company called Hannegas. Hannegas makes very precise machine tool parts for anti vibration technology. Well, that deal had to go through Scyphius because it has national security implications, and that got approved to that got approved as well. Do we know if we had an FBI informant for six years in that deal? We we very well might have. It wouldn't surprise me if we did. How come? So now I assume as part of your research that you made phone calls to Hunter Biden and and to the vice president or former vice president Biden. What did they say? Nothing? They wouldn't respond. We called them repeatedly, We sent them emails, very specific questions, would not even acknowledge the correspondence. Talk to the people at the same with John Kerry and its family. Same thing with John Kerry. That's the same thing with Obama and his family. That's correct. They did not want to discuss this at all. I've got to imagine if you're doing a billion and a half dollar deal and then you're also investing in the company that we're talking about a minimum, you're making a hundred plus million dollars. Yeah, it's and that's this is the problem, Shaun. One of the things we call for in the book is requiring disclosures. So think about this with Joe Biden. Joe Biden, if he gets a five hundred dollar campaign contribution. He has to disclose that to the voters so voters know who's giving him money, which I think we all think is a good idea. If he owns five in g e stock, people need to know because of potential conflict images. But his son gets a billion and a half from a foreign government, the Chinese. No disclosure requirement, unbelievable. We gotta take a break. We gotta take a break. We'll come back and we'll continue more with Peter Schweitzer. A new number one bestseller. It's called Secret Empires. How the American political class hides corruption and riches family and friends. It's in bookstores all around the country. Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com. And we'll take a quick break more in that corruption on the other side. Right as we continue, Peter Schweitzer investigated reporters brand new book is out, Secret Empires, How the American political class hides corruption and enriches family and friends. So if it's a billion and a half dollars that they got from this Chinese energy company, it's amazing. Or nuclear company, it's amazing. How similar the stories? Why is nuclear always involved here? And isn't it the same with John kerry Son. Yeah, I mean this is this is the key thing for people to understand that. And this is the Uranium one story, and this is c g N as well. There is a global competition for nuclear technologies and the United States is the world leader. And so in the case of uranium one, it was the Russians wanting to get control of uranium assets in the United States and other assets around the world that Uranium one controlled. In the case of China, this cg N company that the son of the Vice President and this close aid to carry are investing in UH is interested in a nuclear reactor called the a P one thousand. So this is made by Westinghouse. It's a small reactor and Sean the reason they're interested in the small reactor is it's very similar to those that are put on US Navy that the light water reactors are. Yes, it's a it's a small portable reactor. And China is making a push by twenty thirty two pass the U. S. Navy in naval supremacy, and one of their shortcomings is in this area of nuclear propulsion for submarines. So they want this technology and you have this bizarre troubling situation where the son of the vice president in a close aide to John Kerry, our investors in the company that's trying to steal this technology. How is it that now is let's just go to the fact that there you obviously were able to figure all those out. Does that make it legal? In other words, even though your father is the vice president or your father is a secretary of state, Uh, You're still allowed as a family member. There's nothing to prevent you from going and doing business while your father is in that position to influence and make your entire family rich. And I assume if you make it a hundred million dollars that if dad wants a new car, he's gonna get a new car, and he's gonna get a new house, and and that they would benefit as well. Yeah, and that this is really really important when you think about bribery laws or conflict of interest laws. It's very clear Sean. If if if I'm a politician and you want to persuade me and bribe me, if you give me money, that's bribery. But if you give my son money to get that's bribery as well. That's exactly it's the same why do they do it this way? I mean, do they think that's that one removed is gonna make a difference that if the sun becomes a billionaire, that he's not going to share with the father that puts him in the position to negotiate these ridiculous deals they otherwise would never get. Well, the challenge is going to be the same cases it's been with the Clintons, and that is proving the quid pro quo, proving that there's an exchange of services, and they use these proxies like their sons to say, oh, you know, Joe Biden, I wasn't involved that. I never talked to those guys. So basically, you know, we do have an investigation in the Clinton Foundation. The FBI field off as in Arkansas. We've been able to confirm as doing it. I don't know where it is, but I gotta imagine they're looking at that hundred and forty five million because they did interview the FBI informant that warned everybody about their uranium one deal. That's exactly right, and I think that we will be seeing similar activity as it relates to this Biden deal. I mean, I can't go into details, but it takes three years ago, It's taken three how many times if I mentioned uranium one to now bring it to critical mass? Is it three years now that Joe Biden's son can go spend his his millions. Well, and this is this is key, Sean, this is key. The key thing is they're hoping that this story is going to sort of come and go, that it will be gotten. Yes, exactly, And that's why it is so key for a dog on a bone, you know, I never give up. I'll admit it. Uh. Well, the book is phenomenal, and there's so much information on it. That's why we have to almost break it down into one topic at a time. But this is what's happening with your government and the enrichment of these families. And it's in bookstores everywhere Hannity dot com. It's called Secret Empires. How the American political class hides corruption and enrich their family and friends. Same old story, but at a level that is unprecedented. Uh. Congrats, Num were one New York Times bestseller. Peter Schwitzer, thank you for being one of us. I appreciate it. Thanks. Quick break right back, we'll continue to the top of the hour. We're gonna get to your calls here eight nine one, Shawn, listen, let me play for you before we get to our phones here. Um, you got female Dallas Trump supporters, and I think they were all evangelicals. They actually did on CNN some good work that they didn't well, they didn't plan on doing, and they had these women. They were actually really amazing and smart and insightful. Anyway, So these women they're questioned about Stormy Daniels as they were watching it together, and the CNN whoever that anchor was, could not believe the answers. Not one of these women haird about Stormy Daniels. Listen to this she's enjoying on Palm Sunday. These conservative Christian women gathered in Dallas to watch Stormy Daniels interview on sixty minutes. She was shopping her story for money, just like all the other people, to try to make money off the Trump name. What was your first impression of Stormy Daniel. I feel sorry for My heart hurts for her. This is a port star. Why are we giving it any credibility? Exactly? And the fact that she now wants to come out with a story because she's afraid of her children. Would you tell the kiddos about your full time? These women all voted for Donald Trump, and despite Stormy daniels claims, they still don't buy her story. Why would she come out and give this interview if she wasn't telling the truth? Do any based on this interview? Do any of you believe that Stormy Daniels did have sex with Donald Trump? I don't believe it because I haven't seen any hard proof. Did we believe the president of the United States or a stripper porn star? I go with the President of the United States. Most in this group believe God or Dame Donald Trump to be president and stand by him despite his imperfect actions. I know that when I voted for him, I wasn't voting for a quiet voice. He had to change as a person in order to become a president. And Stormy Daniels, if you um the lifestyle that she's leading right now, I mean I wish you would turn her life over the way that Trump happened. This group suggests the women coming forward with tales of having had an affair with Trump are being targeted. Someone is looking and shopping for these people to come out of the woodwork because it is demeaning to our president and as some strongly suggested, all part of a media plot to bring down Donald Trump. You can throw all that stuff up in our face as many times as you want, but that means that we will work harder for Trump. Is that not so, lady? That's correct. This is the media defining the narrative the people. We the people are ready to define the narrative. And it's not about Tawdrey sexual uh at peccadillos. In order for is somebody to come forward, you can be pushed by somebody else, right, And so I think the thing is is you're looking for a way to impeach my president that I worked very hard for. You know, now, compare those women. Those were women in Dallas, evangelical women watching for sea and a focus group that they did, and just not one of them cared about, you know, twelve thirteen years ago of an alleged consensual relationship. Now here's the media dismissing. Let's see Paula Jones and wanted to Broderick and Kathleen Willie, you know, Briant Gumbel on NBC, Charlie Gibson, Good morning America. Evan Thomas and formerly a Newsweek and all these people listen to the difference in the tone, except the big difference here is one is two instances of consensual, consensual relationship long before Donald Trump ever thought of running for press at it, and the other deals with let's see one rape one exposure of oneself dropping your pants and showing your private parts, and the other one is groping, grabbing, fondling, touching, kissing against the woman's will in the Oval office. Yes, the case was being fomented by right wing nuts, and yes she's not a very credible witness, and it's really not a law case at all. I'm sleazy woman with big hair coming out of the trailer. Wait, I think she's a dubious witness. I really do forget an off luck to talk about this week, including the sexual harrassment suita against the president course, and that one stuffs the video. Who's really being arrested? I'm not trying to hurt the president? Did she say that with a straight face? Why does anyone care what this woman has to say? But is bottom line, sam is is she not trying to capitalize on this in effect to to profit from impugning the President. I have to profess complete confusion over this entire case. Why this is even a case. If any man I don't care who he is, invites me to a room and pulls his pants down and asked me to do something, he's going to have a decided lamp from that day on, and I go on with my life. I don't need to sue anyone. It doesn't traumatize me. I don't understand why this is even the case to begain with. The story doesn't deserve to be dignified by being broadcast and display. When I find it fascinating about this case is that we've sunk so low now that a charge of this magnitude can be leveled against the President the United States with next to no evidence at all. It's ethic. That's outrageous. I was written either in Time or news like that. Even the woman or self wanted a Broadwick said she hoped that just say went away this week, and she even she was sick of her story. Are we gonna look back on this time a hundred years from now the way we look back on Salem? We're reaching the point where we're gonna wind up with government by goody goodies government with by people who have done nothing in their life except walk this rate and narrow, who have no creative thoughts. We're going to look back on this a hundred years from now and say we drove some of our best people out of politics. I mean, the amount of hippo percy here is breathtaking. All Right, I promise we're gonna get to the phones. Let's do that. Bob is in Palm City, Florida. Bob, Hi, how are you glad you called, sir? I'm doing well, Sean, thank you for the opportunity. And I just wanted to kind of go back to the omnibus and Uh, I think that actually Trump was smart to sign it because he's got the negotiations coming up with the North Korean and if we were in a back and forth between Congress and the White House on the budget, it would put Trump in a week position. Now he's in a strong position to go in against the North Koreans and the Chinese saying I've got all the money I need and the military. I need to take the military option if I have to. So I actually looked at this is, uh, you know, strategically a smart thing that Trump signed the budget well, I'm gonna tell you right now the best thing out of the budget. And everybody thought they was so smart. Um, but we confirmed. I knew this last week, but I kind of was keeping it under my hat a little bit because I wanted to totally confirm it. I knew it was sense. You know, Democrats claiming, well, the wall wasn't even funded in this bill yet, is because the uh the Democrats were saying, well, you can't use concrete. Well, the president's using the military budget and the massive military spending. You know, the amount of money is gonna take for the wall is going to be insignificant, and construction is beginning now, and the Democrats can't argue in any way that makes any sense that securing the border is not a national security priority. So at the end of the day, even Sarah Sanders acknowledged that a hundred miles of newall has been authorized by Congress and it just goes from there, and the president's taking it out of the defense budget, which by the way, doesn't excuse other parts of the bill and the other spending within the bill, but it's certainly at least as a major promise that the president made that he's keeping that makes sense. Yeah, and that does make sense. And and also if he cuts a good deal with North Korea, everyone will be very grateful and and all the people that uh, you know, we're concerned about this budget, just like the wall being built, will be uh, you know, extremely happy if we can resolve North Korea. Well, look, I mean certainly, bribing the North Koreans didn't work. They got nuclear weapons. Bribing the Iranians that didn't help us either, with a hundred and fifty billion, But little rocket Man, you know, being pressured economically and sanctions and an allegiance with China has led to a pretty good position where now he wants to negotiate. And satellite photos yesterday showing oh, North Korea's stopped their nuclear program and missile program and then not gonna be firing missiles at least in the near term over Japan and threatening Guam and everything else they've been doing. You know, I gotta tell you it's so sad and pathetic that the news media in this country just refuses to acknowledge even a single good thing that the president does. It's pathetic, all right. Back to our busy phones, Tim Mississippi, Tim High how are you glad you called sir? Thank you so much, Sean appreciated. Uh. First of all, let me lincongratulation. Thank you for the job that you've done over the last eighteen months or so with Sarah Carter and Cheryl Ankinson. Uh. If there was thanking Sarah Carter, Sarah Carter and you would would be would be winning Pueltzers. Now how about they get the Puelitzers and I'll get the Uh, let's see the media's treatment of hating me. That's reward enough that you know, absolutely, the news me and especially the creepy people asking personal The only questions CNN didn't ask in sixty minutes, didn't ask can you describe it for us? That's the only question they didn't ask about a consensual relationship? Yeah, it's so creepy, Sean is I've had a theory for a while and then it's now become pretty much obvious to me. Not liberals, honest liberals, I'm fine with those, but the progressives, these these far left I don't even know how to describe him, the atom shifts and her his Tanny sniffer, Eric Swalwell. Sean, if you were caught making mistakes on the air. I'm sure you'd be embarrassed about it. If you were caught telling an outright line, I'm sure you'd be humiliated about it. I think that hard less liberal, hard less progressives. I think they're missing a gene. I think they were worn without the changing and without the embarrassment gene. Listen, I gotta I gotta tell you something. There there is a missing chip in this regard. They are so ideological. It doesn't matter what if Donald Trump gave every single American five million dollars out of his own pocket and said, all right, go go enjoy your life here. This is like my gift from me to you, they'd find a way to hate him for that. Look, there is a derangement. The media is unhinged right now about all things Trump. You know, it's funny because we've been really monitoring very very closely the coverage today as it relates to Stormy Daniels. I don't think I've ever founded the media as hard as I did last night on television. And the point is CMN is softcore porn. Anderson Cooper's questions were creepy. And you know, we actually did a side by side of Anderson Cooper asking questions of of Stormy and Jerry Springer asking questions of his Yes, and they're exactly the same. You told Donald Trump to turn around and take off his pants. Yes, and yes, you're young, you like that fun, your party girl, etcetera. So what's the So what's the story here? And you had sex with him? Do you want to be with her boyfriend? Now? It's just the one time thing? Did you want to have sex with him? But I didn't. I didn't say now you're not interested in being with him? It's it's just a customer, right? Or are you interested in being with him? He ends up taking it home? You work in an industry where condom uses is an issue? Did did he use a condom? Did you ask him to? So you had sex with him? Your soft porn network? Anyway, what's going on? You know what I mean? Like a menaced person? Why are you guys laughing? It's true that this is not about how do you ignore rape, fondling, touching, groping, grabbing, kissing against one's will, and really creepy behavior when you what guy pulls his pants down in front of a woman the way Clinton did with Paula Jones. How is that? And you and and they didn't care, but they care about Stormy. It's unbelievable. Jerry, Kansas City, Missouri. What's up, Jerry? How are you? H Hi? Sean? There's a Holy week first of all, And I'm just I'm like going pretty well disgusted. Um, these people are so disgusted by Trump's actions, even assuming some of them are creepy, as you said about Anderson Cooper, these same people don't seem to be offended by what Hillary and Bill did. And I am getting so sick and tired of Hillery's complaints about losing the election. Mr Trump won. Whe they're not under the rules as they were posited at the time. As a Democrat, I am discussed if they want the popular vote to be what rules the next time they have the levers of power, if they ever have them again, let them have the courage to change it. Or if they lose elections, right for a little while, say a month or two, six months even is an acceptable shelf life, but eighteen months. And Will is a better politician than Hillary. I'm sure he lost elections when he lost. Tightening his belt, bucked up and prepared for the next election, and that's what he should be doing, although I don't think the Democrats will be. But you gotta understand, they they have got to tear this man down. I mean literally, limb by limb. They want to shred him so that they want to so discredit him and and literally disenfranchise all voters from him and ignore every positive thing he's done. And the list is enormous, just in the hopes that they can get back power. All Right, I gotta take a break here, though I appreciate it. Jerry, thank you, Hey, Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern Fox News Channel. Among our many guests a great one.
