Uh, We've got the latest on deep state Gate and new revelations today, including we have spies looking to pay Russian for Russian pedaling of Trump's secrets. I thought all this was out of bounds, off base, was something unethical. We'll get to that today. Also, we will dig deep into the media's love affair with you know, these baniacal dictators. What why is it? What is it about the left they love totalitarian dictatorships? What is it? Why did they think if they just get on their knees and beg pretty pretty pretty please and and bribe murdering thug dictators that things are gonna work out so much better. And their fascination with Kim Jong UN's sister at this at this Olympics, which I find incredibly dull and boring. I just do. I'm I'm proud of that seventeen year old kid. He was great. I did watch that. Uh, And I know these people train their whole lives to get there, and just they're not the sports that I love. I do like skiing though, downhill fast ski and I think takes a lot of courage and and some of these other sports. But anyway, Uh, one scary thing is we begin something we've been through. You know. Um, you gotta think of this through the prism of Okay, what did Madonna say and do about the President wants to blow up dreams of blowing up the White House? And Kathy Griffin with her severed head, but it's all about her and how her career has suffered as a result of it. Or the Boston professor who wished that, you know, President Trump was dead last week. You know, I hope they're all proud of themselves as we speak. The President's daughter in law was rushed to the hospital this morning after a letter containing some white powder arrived at her apartment. You know, all these people say all these incendiary, outrageous things that if they were ever said during the Obama years, everybody would have rightly called it out. I don't know anybody, anybody that's been attacked more than this White House, this president and this family, even attacking the port eleven year old kid for crying out loud, and attacking the first lady and attacking the first daughter. And it's just vicious. I mean, how many people imagine taking a severed head of a Barack Obama and and here let me post this what the ramifications would have been, or somebody saying, you know, I dream of blowing up the White House. Now to my saying that this led to this incident that happened with Donald Trump Junior's wife being taken to the hospital because of a letter that arrived containing white powder at her apartment, No, I'm not. I'm not blamed the people that are responsible for that act. But the incendiary language that is accepted by the left and the double standard is just so transparent and obvious, and I always blame a person anyway. I thought some prayers for Vanessa Trump, that's Donald Jr's wife, was being examined at New York Presbyterian and Cornell Medical Centers, of precaution, and the letter was sent to their apartment, and I guess you know, firefighters, emergency medical services, police were called to the apartment when she opened the letter, and she and two other people at the apartment are being decontaminated by firefighters at the scene and then being taken to the hospitals. And precaution. We gotta pray it's a precaution. I mean, anthraxes can be very deadly. Do you remember Linda when this happened to poor Elise, remember my assistant. Yeah, it was horrible, horrible. I mean she was literally we couldn't even talk to her. Ethan was the intern there at the time. Yeah, she was opens a letter to me and she was quarantined for what like six seven hours. Yeah, we were all pretty scared actually because she wasn't there for a really long time, and she was scared out of her mind. And you know, I mean it was horrible. I actually and you know what the net result is, I don't get any mail anymore. People think I'm route, people think I don't answer my mail. It's not a matter of that. I mean mail gets lost now and tested in this and that, and you only get a small portion of anything. I can't even trust direct messages these days. No, what does that mean? He is you saying that to me? That? I know I said it on air because I'm just saying it's like people just send you things. It's they're cyberware, there's anthrax. I mean, you can't open anything anymore. Everybody's always trying to hurt you. It's it's that too. And then, of course, are what Twitter say are our account was compromised? Compromised? Compromised? What does compromised mean anyway? Oh? The people broken and are stealing stuff a lot. I'm not you know, I don't even use it anymore. I'm done because it's just what we'd use Twitter for is very different than what we used to use it for. And I really shouldn't even disclose it. I had a lot of fun fighting on Twitter. I actually occasionally will still go fight on Twitter, but I gotta pick my fights. It becomes a full time job fighting on Twitter. That the level of hate in vitriol, though, over time, it just gets to you. There's only so many ways that people can attack you. And you read it, and you read it, and you read it and you're having fun in the beginning fighting back, and then it's like, why am I wasting my time doing this? There's got to be something more important. It's got to be a beer of my refrigerator somewhere that's more important than this. But it is so scary though, when they take it to a new level and they send you white powder, and you know, in Vanessa's case, little kids, and in our case with Elie, I mean, she was, you know, completely quarantined. It was absolutely it was horrible. It was absolutely horrible, and thank god it turned to okay. And I'm hoping for Vanessa obviously as well. I mean, but until you hear the coast is clear, you don't know. I don't know what it is this. Maybe somebody can call in and explain to me why liberals love totalitarian dictatorships, because I'm not getting it, I mean see, and then literally tweeted out an article with the title Kim Jong UN's sister is stealing the show at the Winter Olympics. All she did was show up, and you know, they go online and they write this puff piece about the North Korean leader Kim Jong UN's sister appearing at the Olympics and South Korea, you know, she's stealing the show. The article published on Saturday afternoon, began with these words about the woman who gave the South Korean president an invite to visit North Korea. Quote, if diplomatic dance for an event at the Winter Olympics, Kim Jong UN's younger sister would be favored to win the gold with a smile, a handshake, and a warm message. In South Korea's presidential guest book, uh Kim Joe jong has struck a chord with the public. Just one day into the Olympic Games, it barely referenced the North Korean's regimes murdering ways, and you know there are I'm like, why does why is there this compulsion that they feel like, oh, if we really just show them that we're human, they're they're gonna be human back. This is what This is the false narrative that Clinton believed with Kim Jong il, who's Kim Jong Gun's father, and he literally bribed him with with energy sources and and three plus billion dollars of American money in the mindset that yeah, it's gonna happen, Yeah, he's gonna now this is a good deal for the American people. It wasn't a good questions. I'd like to say just a word about the framework with North Korea that Ambassador Glucy signed this morning. This is a good deal for the United States. North Korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. South Korea and our other allies will be better protected. The entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons. South Korea, with support from Japan and other nations, will bear most of the cost of providing North Korea with fuel to make up for the nuclear energy it is losing. And they will pay for an alternative power system for North Korea that will allow them to produce electricity while making it much harder for them to produce nuclear web. The United States and international inspectors will carefully monitor North Korea to make sure it keeps its commitments. Only as it does so well. North Korea fully joined the Community of Nations. Good deal for the American people. Yeah, that worked out really well, because now we have Kim Jongan's sister. Her brother is now firing missiles over Japan and threatening Guam and threatening the United States, the continental United States with intercontinental ballistic missiles. That's what we got for the money the Clinton tried to bribe the father of Kim Jong yung. And it's the same thing we got news this weekend. What happened with with Iran? I told you when all that money went to the mulos in Iram? What did I tell you what happened? I told you that it would absolutely be used to promote and expand the terror network, because they've been fighting proxy wars through Hezbollah and all these other terrorist groups for years. In our has just got one point seven was at one point seven billion dollars, some insane amount of money or billion dollars was used to support the efforts of his blah And why do you why do people believe that if you're just nicer to the people that are burning your flag and chanting death to America and burning the Israeli flag and chanting death to Israel, that if you give the money and you kiss their ass, that somehow they're gonna come around and and really begin to like us and change their evil ways. Kim Jong un is starving his own people. Kim Jong un is spending every last dollar he has in the hopes of getting nuclear weapons so that he can hold the world hostage. At the point this guy has nuclear weapons married with intercontinental ballistic missile technology. The minute that he can reach the continental United States, we don't have any more good options on the table at that point. At that point, it's either Okay, he puts a missile on the pad, we take it out, or he throws one in the air. We have no idea where it's going. We try to take it out of the air, and god forbid, if it is a nuclear weapon and we don't get it out of the air, how many people can die? And then if we do that, then he retaliates against South Korea, and then and Pyongyang, and then he retaliates against uh Japan, and then he hits Guam, and then he tries to hit the continental United States. You know, there's a lot of danger here. And it's not just CNN. The New York Times tweeting out without a word, only flashing smiles Kim Jong UN's sister outflank Vice President Mike Pennson diplomacy. Well, it's like a compulsion to literally suck up and bow at the altar. No. I'd actually make an argument to you, the fact that Donald Trump is talking talked about what does he call Kim Jong un again? I love his nickname for rocket man. He calls him rocket Man, and everybody panics he's gonna start a nuclear war. Well, Reagan said, Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall, and finally the wall came down, and he built up our nation's defense. Now we're about to build up our nation's defenses again. And maybe one of the reasons he wants to talk to South Korea is maybe he's as simple as one. One fundamental thing is that he understands the United States means it. Washington Post declared that Kim Jong UN's sister is the Avanka Trump of North Korea. Is there a tacit admission there that they like of Anka Trump? Or is that somehow because I don't think it was meant, It was obviously meant in a complimentary way. ABC News rights North Korea's two under plus cheerleaders steal the spotlight at the Olympic Games. We can see they're paying attention to the sports. New York Chimes referred to the North Korean cheerleaders as an army of beauties. What would happened to a concern? What if Donald Trump said that? Reuters wrote North Korea has emerged as the early favorite to grab one of the Olympics winner Olympics most important medals, the diplomatic gold. Well, what are they talking about? He was firing missiles over Japan just a couple of months ago and threatening to hit the US. Wow. So many people are so dumb and naive. Um. The only thing that dictators seemed to understand, and the only thing bully seemed to understand, is in the case of a bully, you punched him once really hard and shatter their world in the face, and they'll probably then leave you alone. And unfortunately, it's not that much different with nations. They've got to understand that we're bigger, meaner, tougher, and that if they do anything really bad, there's gonna be a heavy consequence, a heavy price to pay. I wish we didn't have evil in the world. I wish a hundred million souls didn't die in the last century alone. I wish we didn't have to battle fascism, communism, Nazism, and uh now radical Islam in the form of al Qaeda or the Islamic State. I wish I wish every but it was nice and wanted to raise their kids and create a better world. But that's not the world we live in. That's not reality. So Linda, why did NBC force Well, you're just you're busy. Okay, you're running out. I got it alright. Eight nine point one. Shawn is a told free telephone number you want to be a part of the program. Uh, we do have a a clear majority. I think this is important to note as we get into some of deep state Gates new developments today. Uh, the Dow, by the way, in its topsy turvy nous is up fivety three. Seems to just be vetting out some stability issues and sort of a natural correction. That's my take on it. But I don't invest a lot in the stock market, and that's up to you if you do. A new poll on Deep State Gate shows a solid majority of Americans now believe that the Obama administration abused American surveillance laws to spy on President Trump and his campaign. It's kind of amazing the number, considering how much the media has altered out the truth to the American people. Anyway, it's an Investors Business Daily poll believe it's likely the Obama administration and properly surveiled the Trump campaign during the election and want a special council to investigate whether the FBI and Department of Justice improperly surveiled the Trump campaign in the election only said no, and the partisan breakdown shows seventy four percent of Republicans of Independence want the special council. In this particular poll one fairly positive result for the FBI and Department of Justice, only thirty five percent believe these institutions attempted to outright frame President Trump for colluding with the Russians and had just released rasputes and polls shows a full fifty percent of Americans believe it's somewhat likely senior law enforcement officials senior, not rank and file senior, because everybody likes to take it in the media seeker attacking the FBI, the institution of them. Not by the way, all these people that say that go look at their track records and jumping the gun on men and women in law enforcement and our military and the FBI just because there are a few bad apples. It's people like me saying that does not poison the whole batch anyway, that believe these institutions attempted outright frame him so we'll get to that. We have a lot, including a new development that just came out of a literally as it's as we're on the air here, I'll read it in the break as it relates to the Grassly Graham memo. Apparently a letter was sent. Um, I'm gonna let me break this down. I'll get it for you as soon as we come back. But it has to do with a document that Susan Rice sent in an email. I'll explain next to the top of the one sewn you want to be a part of the program. This is kind of odd and it just broke moments ago. Remember we had the new Nest House intel mo that came out, and then we had the Grasslely Graham memo come out, and then the Grassly Graham unredacted memo, not completely unredacted, but they took a lot of the redactions out that was in the original memo. And on Friday, of course, we had the Democrats. They set a trap. They were hoping that the President would release their memo when they purposely included materials that they knew they shouldn't have included sources and methods, etcetera. Um, now we've got new information today, the Grassley and Graham just released this letter I assumed to Susan Rice here and uh and the email sent on inauguration day, and they're asking Rice why Rice felt the need to document to herself an Oval Office meeting where President Obama apparently told Comey and others to quote handle things quote by the book. Anyway, Ambassador Rice seems to have used the email to document January Oval Office meeting between Obama, James Comey, Sally Yates regarding Russian interference in the presidential election. In particular, Ambassador Rice wrote, President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of the issue is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities quote by the book. And the President's stressed that he's not asking about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would. Buy the book now. Grass Lee and Graham were both struck by the context and the timing of the email, and they sent a follow up letter to Ambassador Rice that reads, in part, it strikes us odd that among your activities in the final moments in the final days of the Obama administration, you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual emailing email purporting to document a conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the Trump Russia investigation. Now, we already know that the president, likely due to presidential daily briefing. The President, I'm sure knew all of this. Now, whether he'd admitted, whether they're smoking out evidence, who knows. My guess is he knew um anyway. So, in addition, despite your claim the President Obama repeatedly told Mr Comey to proceed by the book, substantial questions have arisen about whether officials at the FBI as well as the Justice Department and the State Department actually did proceed quote by the book. So it's part of their continued efforts to get some oversight here, and Grassley and Graham and now asking Rice to answer a set of questions by February so the committee can further assess the situation and uh, and they actually break it up in their letter and it goes on it says the Senate Judiciary is constitutional, do you to conduct oversight of the FBI and brought a Department of Justice. Part of that duty involves ensuring law enforcement efforts are conducted without political influence, and accordingly, the Committee has been investigating the FBI's relationship with Christopher Steel during the time of his work that was funded by Hillary for America the Democratic National Committee, the FBI's reliance on his unverified third hand allegations in the bureau's representations to the courts. This is a great follow up. As part of that effort, the Committee sent a request to the National Archives for records of meetings between President Obama and then FBI Director Comey regarding the FBI's investigation of allegations of collusion between associates of Mr Trump and the Russian government. In response, the Committee received classified and unclassified versions of an email that you sent to yourself on January President Trump's inauguration day, and if the time stamp is correct, you sent that email to yourself at twelve pm, presumably a very short time before you departed the White House for the last time. In this email to yourself, you purport to document a meeting that had taken place more than two weeks before on January. On January five, following a briefing by the i S leadership on Russian hacking or the presidential election, President Obama had briefed at a brief follow up conversation with the FBI director call me Deputy Attorney General Yates in the Oval office. Vice President Biden and I were also president. That meeting reportedly included a discussion of the Steel dossier and the FBI's investigation of its claims. You emailed and that's where you know by the book comes in, the next part of your email remains classified. After that, you wrote, President asked call Mey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would, And they write to hurt strikes us odd that among your final moments, final day, the Obama White Houses, and what you're doing. So then they put forth a series of questions. Did you send the email attached to this letter to yourself? Do you have any reason to dispute the time stamp of the email? Uh? They write, when did you first become aware of the FBI's investigation and allegations into collusion between Mr Trump's associates and Russia. When did you become aware of any surveillance activities, including pies applications undertaken by the FBI and conducting that investigation at the time you wrote this email to yourself. Were you aware of either the October FIS application for surveillance on carter page or the January renewal. Did anyone instruct, requests, suggest, or imply you should send yourself the aforementioned inauguration day email memorializing President Trump's meeting with Mr Comey about the Trump Ushia investigation. If so, who and why is the account of the January memo presented in your email accurate? Did you omit any other portion of the conversation other than the email. Did you document the January meeting in any way contemporaneous notes or a formal memo to the best of your knowledge? Did anyone else at that meeting take notes or otherwise otherwise memorialize the meeting. During the meeting, did Mr Comey or Miss Yates mentioned potential press coverage of the steel dossier? If so, what did they say during the meeting? Did Mr Comey describe the status of the FBI's relationship with Mr Steele or the basis for that status. When and how did you first become aware of allegations made by Christopher Steele? When and how did you first become aware of the Clinton campaign in the d n C funding Mr Steele's efforts. You wrote, the President stress that he was talking talking, He was not asking about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. The President Obama asked about initiate or instruct anything from any other perspective relating to the FBI's investigation. Did President Obama have any meetings other meetings with coll Mey Yates or other government officials about the FBI's investigation of allegations of collusion between Trump associates and Russia. If if so, when did they occur, who participated, what was discussed? Thank you for your prompt attention. This is getting pretty interesting. You know, we've never gone back to and you know, we like last week, we had a little bit of a diversion as it relates to all this, and it's simple as it relates to Deep State Gate, and that was all of a sudden iranium one about a month ago, we had a guy charged with eleven Council uranium one, and that's when we were able to confirm, yeah, that uranium one, that Jeff Sessions never recused himself, and that there's an ongoing open investigation. Now we have the Inspector General report which is expected on the handling of the Clinton email server investigation, which obviously the fix was in. It was rigged from the beginning. It's gonna be interesting to see and read what the Inspector General has to say. But there's so many moving parts in all of this. But at the end of the day, what you have here is a lot of people in the upper ranks of the d o J and the FBI leaving for varying reasons. Comey fired Rachel Brand just resigned three days ago. She was third in line at the Justice Department after Sessions and Rosenstein. Peter Struck demoted, Lisa Page reassigned. Why they these two have a job is unbelievable. Andrew McCabe fired, James Baker retired. David Loffman is the Justice Department counter intelligence chief, resigned, James Ribicki, chief of staff to Comey, reassigned, Bruce Or former US Associate A G demoted, Sally Yates fired, Mary McCord acting assistant A g resigned, Michael Corton had a public affairs retired. Is that they don't want to go through this or clean up this mess, or maybe they feel those more shoes to drop. Kind of hard to tell at this particular point. You know, it's um You know, I looked very closely at Rachel brand resignation, and three days ago it appears she got a job as it was at least printed in a couple of places as the chief counsel. I guess for Walmart's, which I think would probably end up being a really good job. Others have have suggested maybe she wants a judge ship somewhere. It was a great question in the Hill, will fights a Gate? The fights a memo turned into Watergate? No, it's bigger than Watergate. You know, it depends how it all plays out. I mean, the biggest problem we have if you look at the Sunday shows, they're they're definitely now is there are a ten to at least begin the conversation, but they're so recent. Like Major Garrett this weekend was talking to Adam Schiff. Adam, you know, I don't I don't want to get into all of the back and forth between them. But CNN Jake Tapper had John Podesta on the Steele dossier saying the Hillary camp didn't know Fusion GPS contracted Christopher Steele. I don't believe that for a minute. I don't believe anything that comes out of John Fodesta's mouth. As a matter of fact, I want to know about John Fodesta's financial dealings with foreign countries, kind of like Manafort. I hope we're gonna eventually investigate that and uh, some other things. But there's so much to this, you know, the idea that this country didn't blink and eye when Donna Brazil says, yeah, the Democratic primary was rigged, we've now pretty much proven it's there's no answer to it. But we now know that call Me and Struck were writing the exoneration in early May of Hillary Clinton, and they didn't even bother to interview Horror seventeen others until early July, and because the memo was ready, she was interviewed over the fourth of July weekend by Peter Struck and they exonerated her on the fifth. I mean, none of that makes any sense, especially in light of what we're talking about. The Clinton email server investigation as handled. I've gone through those crimes repeatedly. You know, it's it's really simple. The espionage at gross negligence and mishandling classified documents. That's a crime. Intentionally mishandling the classified documents, which she did, that was on the secret server in the bathroom closet, that's a crime. Knowingly removing classified documents with the intent to retain that's that's a crime too. Then you've got theft of government documents, concealing, destroying government documents. All of that happened. What do you think bleach bit was for? What do you think the hammer was for obstruction of justice? Obviously thirty three thousand delete bleached bit emails that substruction of justice. They were all subpoened. Now, why why wasn't that Why did James Comey and Peter Struck and likely Paige and McCabe and others put the fix in on this thing? And what was their insurance policy? And I know some of you want answers to all of these questions today, but you can't get them all them one day. That's the problem when you have people that are hiding and covering up and they never thought any of this was gonna come out because they thought Hillary was gonna win, and Paige and Struck the even text back and forth about well, we don't want to piss her off if she's going to be the president. Well that's pretty revealing in and of itself, isn't it. And then it gets worse than you have Hillary now that she's been enabled to continue in the race, and now she gets involved with Fusion GPS, and they hired Christopher Steele. By the way, it wasn't the Washington Beacon's time when they were looking into Trump. It was when Hillary was paying Fusion GPS. That's when they hired Christopher Steele. That's where Christopher Stiele is the grassly Graham memo says pay for Russian government lies, Russian government sources. That's where all the salacious nonsense come in. And Fusion GPS they've they've said under oath that they've never verified. It took him a year to tell us who paid for the thing. And then they even admit in one testimony before I think the House Intel that they were coordinating with the Clinton campaign who'll leak it to in the press. And Christopher Steele was already doing that on his own because he didn't want Trump to be president. And then of course it's used as the basis for a fighter warrant. And the only thing we got in terms of it's the political nature of the document. Well, it might have a political taint to it, it's not a political taint. It's an opponent. It's bought and paid for. That's a big difference. It's a huge difference. Alright. Eight nine for one, Shawn is a toll free telephone number. You want to be a part of the program. Uh. Michael Goodwin had a good piece out today said Hillary Leton's Russian gate frame job was the dirtiest political trick in American history. Well, the Justice Department's now imploding, as I just told you about all of this, and I'm telling you I think by the end, I think you're gonna see people likely going to jail at the end of this. All Right, as we roll along, Sean Hannay show, nine for one, Shawn Tolfrey telephone number, you want to be a part of the program. All Right, We've got a busy show for the day today. Greg Jarrett, Monica Crowley joined us at the top of the next hour. If you haven't been following, there was an F sixteen shot down in Well near the border of Syria over the weekend. Then an Iranian drone flying over Israel and the Israelis caught it and fired back on locations within Syria. We'll get an update with Caroline Glick and al Parota coming up. Louis Gohmer joins US today, and also we'll have the latest now. Mitch McConnell is saying that the immigration debate is coming next, and more conservative senators are saying, let's vote on the president's plan straight up or straight down. I'm not gonna hold my breath that Mitch McConnell would ever do anything that gutsy, but we shall see quick break right back on Shawn toll free telephone number and your calls coming up today. There's nothing a scuba that warrant that I can see, and if the Republicans were really concerned about this, because everything that I have seen, the FBI acted completely appropriately. Now it's very important to look at what the FBI said about our rebuttal and what they didn't say. What they've said is that certain information in it is classified, and of course that's true and the fact all of the facts and defies application are classified. But the FBI never said that anything in our bottle was inaccurate. And that's also important because our memo does lay out the accurate facts, which we think the public should see. Now we will redact it to make sure that we're very protective of sources and methods, but we think the public should see this because, as the chairman has said, this is only the first phase. All right, there's Adam Shift over the weekend. The one thing you've got a note if you pay attention some of the weekend programming as we kick off our two here the Sean Hannity Show, is that you know, for all of Adam Shift's desire to be an MSNBC contributor, they now are finally having to answer questions, although albeit bias lee about the things that we have been highlighting in the things that have gone on UH that are unethical. Now, the fact that he thinks that a footnote before a pis a corps judge, that it may have some quote, may have some political origins, is somehow capable of replacing UH bought and paid for by Hillary campaign and Hillary friends contributing to dossier. If he thinks that is sufficed to to get a FISA warrant against an opposition party in the lead up to an election and a president elect, then he's gonna have to answer that question and so much more. But if you're paying very very close attention, there's been a lot going on, not only now, or people having to answer questions that they never would have otherwise had to answer had we not been beating this drum as hard as we have. But you can't forget. I was watching Maria Bartromo this morning. She compiled her own list of top FBI Justice Department people that are now headed for the exits. You know, we started with six last week. Now we're up to thirteen officials, senior officials between James Comey and Rachel Brand who decided to resign three days ago. Then we've got Peter Struck, he's demoted, Lisa Page has reassigned, Andrew McCabe is fired, James Baker retires, David Loffman, Justice Department counter Intelligence Chief, he resigned Ribicki, FBI chief of staff to Comey. He's reassigned pre Pahara, u S Attorney. He's fired, Bruce or he's demoted, he should be fired. Sally Yates fired, uh, Mary McCord acting assistant a g resigned, and Michael Corton is the head of public Affairs for the FBI retiring also, so in any other capacity that would be viewed as a mass exodus, because they know a lot more is coming anyway. Here to shed some light on it, Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst. Monica Crowley's also with a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, former opinion editor for The Washington Times. Welcome both of you. Um, you know, I'm listening to Shift, and you know, the very thing they were trying to claim was in the new Nest memo was not there when we finally got it. And he's admitting that they have to redact sources and methods himself. So in the course of that interview, I thought he made himself look pretty stupid. Well, it struck me that it was a set up. They knew that their version of the Intel memo was filled with classified information, sources and methods, and they knew that if they gave that to the President, he'd have to reject and send it back and say clean it up. So they could then howl that the President is trying to obstruct their verse. It was a set up, and it's pretty obvious, and Shift is devious enough to do that. That's my take on it. It's my take. But in the end, it's I think the President very cleverly handed off this to national security experts, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and their recommendation was, yeah, that stuff has to come out. The fact that they said everything is true. Okay. Yeah, you might say that there was a footnote that said Monica that that it may have some political origins. But I think when you withhold important information like it's Hillary Clinton's campaign buying it, it's bought and paid for and it's not verified. And Hillary's friends apparently also fed some of the information into the dossier, which we learned last week, that's a big That's that's a pretty big omission on their part. Yeah, and that's that is pretty meaningful to this five record. I'm hearing that these five judges are absolutely furious that they weren't allowed full disclosure that when the FBI win the d J put this phone dossier together to smear and then derail Donald Trump, that they were not given all of the facts. I mean, there's a huge difference between one little footnote that says may have political origins and allowing the fives the court full access to to the fact that so much of this dossier was provided by anonymous Russian sources. Christopher Steele close Clinton associates like Sydney Bluemantal longtime Clinton hitman. For goodness sakes, if they had disclosed that to the court, Shawn, we all know that the court would have told them to take a hike. That's why they didn't disclose it to the court. And now of course it's coming out. It's all coming out, and they never expected it because they never expected Donald Trump to win. Well, I think that's when it when it comes down to it. And this is maybe, you know, Rachel Brand deciding she doesn't want any part of this. What was your take on her leaving, Greg Jarrett, Yeah, you know, I think she wants to be a federal judge. I talked to a couple of people who know her who had ready a couple of years ago left the Department of Justice. She was mouthing off at a cocktail party. A reporter found out about it. She was bemoaning the fact that you know, if she's involved in any of this, it's going to interfere in her ability to someday be appointed a federal judge. And so um, she decided to head for the exits, uh, you know, to distance herself from all of this. So that's my take on it. But look as to your principal question, bearing the truth in a footnote. So there was a big article that she was going to be the general counsel. I think at Walmart. I mean, is it a simple case you wanted money or she's being promised later down the road a judge ship. Well, I think it's both. I don't think she's being promised a judge ship, but she knew that her judge ship, if it were ever to come about, would be tainted by any association with any of this. So you know, the money was good. Let me get out the door, let me regroup, and maybe I'll be a federal judge someday. That's that's what my sources are saying. These people who submitted this fake dossier to the court, their officers of the court. They have a duty to be forthright with afis so judges and they can't simply bury in a footnote something that basically says, this could be funny because it's politically driven. Without they have a duty to bring it to the attention of the judge. Indeed, they have a duty not even to submit it. But they did it anyway, and they concealed it from the judge, and they deceived the court in the process, and that's a violation of at least two felony statutes. Good point. You know. There's a good column today by Michael Goodwin in the New York Post and he says Hillary's Russia Gate frame job was the dirtiest political trick in American history. The difference, I think is that when we get to the end of it is that I think Hillary Clinton not only got away with crimes because of collusion and friends within the Department of Justice and the FBI, but Hillary really did try to influence the American pe bold had no problem paying for unverified Russian lies about Donald Trump. And then beyond that, I think it even gets worse. I think then Hillary of course uses it and her campaign knows it's not verified. They all know this is happening because they all know each other. To get a FISA warrant, and it's not just her Sean. I've got to call him today in The Hill, which Matt Drudge picked up on the Drudge Report as well, and you could check it out there. I'm writing about how this is so much bigger than than even everything that we're talking about, Bigger than Hillary, even bigger than Barack Obama. The idea that any of these people in the Obama DOJ and the Obama FBI, part of the executive branch, that he oversaw, the idea that any of these people were freelancing any of this really strange credulity. And when we talk about the two surface reasons for why they did what they did, we talked about, okay, safeguarding Hillary Clinton from prosecution and of course derailing the candidacy and presidency of Donald Trump. But there's something else. There's so something much bigger going on here. Barack Obama's presidency was the pinnacle of decades of this progressive movement that sought too, in Obama's words, fundamentally transformed the nation. They were never going to allow all of those games of the eight years of Obama to be reversed by Donald Trump, no less, who, of course they hate and wanted to derail for that reason, but because they need to preserve the big leftist movement that had so many achievements under Barack Obama. That's why they acted this way. They needed to use all means necessary to protect Hillary, who of course was joined up the hip to Donald Trump over Benghazi and and the passing of classified information over her unsecured server. They were both doing that. They are joined at the hip, so of course they had to protect her, and of course they had to try to stop Trump because they are out to preserve something much bigger, and it's bigger than Obama, and it's bigger than Hillary, but they are all They have moved illegal mountains in order to preserve that. That is the bigger goal. But the only thing that went wrong here and everything you're saying is that they lost the election, and that's why, and that's where that's It's sort of like, I mean, you knew Richard Nixon in the final years of his life, and I don't know what he was telling you privately, but I mean, this makes Watergate in a third rate burglary and a cover up, you know, look like kindergarten compared to you know, This is now a graduate degree in dirty tricks. Water Gate is a walk in the park compared to this. And in my column in The Hill Station and I called this the most dangerous scandal in US history. I thought that the Obama team weaponizing the I R S was the most dangerous, and it was for a while until we got this when this administration, the Obama administration, weaponized the two top law enforcement agencies in the country that are supposed to have equal application of the law justice is blind, weaponizing those agencies to target political opponents using dirty foreign spy and and political opposition research to try to get him, to bring him down. That is that should strike fear in the heart of every American. And again it was done in the service of something bigger, which is to protect and advanced that big leftist progressive movement. As we were going to the break, I was was quoting Michael Goodwin's column and Monica who knew Richard Nixon in the final years of his life, Greg Uh, this is like a walk in a park, to quote Monica, compared to Watergate. So legally, now, how do you get to the crimes and how's it going to happen? Because I don't see a whole lot of movement at the Justice Department at all. Well, I think you're right. I think that Jeff Sessions is not equipped to handle what needs to be done. So I think it's important, and I've long argued that a second special council needs to investigate the investigators, those of the FBI who seemed to have been motivated to clear Hillary Clinton even though they knew there was powerful evidence she committed crimes and they did it for political reasons to influence the election. And also the Department of Justice that that knew a great deal of the motivations behind the dossier were purely political, and yet um concealed that from the court in their attempts to spy on the Trump campaign. So I think you need a second special council if there's an if there's any collusion it was between you know, the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Hillary Clinton campaign, uh and and the Russians, and you know, to suggest there's never been a scintilla of evidence that anything associates of Donald Trump did during the campaign even approached collusion, which is not even a crime. You'd have to look at other ancillary crimes fraud on as services, election violations. All of that falls uh squarely in the lap of Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump. Yeah, and you know, I am not the biggest fan of special counsels, Monica, because as we could see, even in the case of Robert Mueller, not only did he put a team together that are abusively biased and one sided, but then he's picked people that have the worst track records I've ever seen in my life. And beyond that, then the scope of what the original task is goes way beyond what the mandate was. You know, now we're looking at instead of Trump Russia collusion. You lied to the FBI, but that might eventually get thrown out, or you know, back in two thousand and five before the election, we want to look at your financial dealings with the Ukraine, which has nothing to do with this. That's exactly right. I mean, the appointment of a special counsel is always a terrible solution, but in this case might be the best and maybe only option here to try to store some public faith in these institutions, including the d o J and the FBI. Remember ken Starr. Ken Starr started out investigating the Whitewater scandal, a land deal in Arkansas and ended up with an intern in a song carrying a pizza into the Oval office. So these things do go tend to go awry. But I agree with you and I agree with Greg. I think in this case, um as as terrible a solution a special council is. It's going to be necessary because the American public has lost confidence in these institutions, and without confidence in the FBI and the d o J, we don't have an operating republic Sean. We're like on the border of a police state here as it is. Because well President now, I got a role. But we appreciate both of you a great column today, and I think we'll see you both on Hannity tonight when we come back. Very few people seem to know about Israel's pushback against drones and its airspace by Iran and its attack on Syrie and UH forces that have been going after them, and his the law and one point seven billion dollars. Remember the money that Obama gave the Iranians. Yeah, let's going to terror groups and we now have the money trail UH to prove it. We'll get to all that and your calls eight hundred nine for one Shawn, as we continue on this busy news Monday, a lot of spending and well declarations that that means the death knew or is the House Freedom Caucus is toast? Well, I think we've we've had a number of articles written about our demise for many, many years, and yet we're still here fighting on behalf of the millions of Americans who feel like Washington, d C. Has forgotten them. But I can tell you the real problem with this particular one is that our leadership caved uh the swamp one and the American taxpayer loss and and there's no other way than Republican leadership, without a doubt, I mean without a doubt. Our original play was to make sure that we funded the military, we kept other spending flat. That's what we pa pasket. And yet what we got put on the House floor just uh you know a few hours later, was this unbelievable budget deal that spent American taxpayer dollars. All right. That was Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan's on the morning shows yesterday speaking about the deficit, the debt that's going to be added. This is on top of we expect some point this week at one point five trillion. I guess this is gonna be a public private partnership to rebuild America's infrastructure. Joining US now is Freedom Caucus member Louis Gomert, who has been similarly critical of this deal because of the amount of debt and the deficit. You know, there's a great line. I forget who used it, and maybe it was Jordan's Meadows and they said, you know, uh it was it was actually Ran Paul. He said, when when Democrats are in power, you know, the Republican Party is really conservative, when when they get in power they're not conservative. I guess it's just the right language they used at the time. Well, it is a problem. It's a real problem. And of course I think we're better off than we were with our prior speaker, but it was certainly better off than Nancy Pelik Pelosi with the gavel. Uh we just the country I don't think would survive that. But uh, we have got to do what we promised. That's what it comes down to. And we knew that the Democrats back were to the wall. They had found out that shutting down the government. Uh, most recently, they did get blame because they were to blame, and so that meant that we had a chance to finally get spending under control, because the Democrats in the Senate were a little a gun shy, even though they don't like to use guns, gun shy, and and so this seemed like a real opportunity to force a conservative bill from the House through the Senate. And uh, you know, uh, one of our members said, you look at how much they how many hundreds of billions of dollars the Senate increased our bill we sent down to them, which would have funded the military for two years, and then dealt was spending for the rest of the year. But if you look at how much, how many hundreds of billions they added, uh, and you divide that by ten, that's how many Uh, that's how much it took to buy the ten votes to get to sixty for cloture. If Mitch McConnell had said what some of us have been encouraging, Look, we're gonna pass this and with majority. That's what the constitution requires. Yes, we have seen that. Had our old ruled that we created, they require sixty on the constitution only requires you know, one more than half. But for spending purposes, will follow the read rule and will confirm judges with one vote, and also spending bills will do that. At least do that on spending bills, and we would have saved hundreds of billions of dollars. But when you have to go buy senators Democratic senators to pass a bill on spending, then yes, we are going to see spending go through the roof. The only reasonable and right thing to do is to pass it with a majority boat like the constitution requires. And we could have saved the country and our grandchildren an awful lot of money that they will try to pay back someday. Let me ask you about this New York Times story that after months of secret negotiation, some shadowy Russian was able to build American spies out of a hundred grand promising to deliver stolen national security cyber weapons and a deal that this Russian is insisting would also have included compromising material. President Trump, and the cash is delivered in a suitcase in a Berlin hotel room in September and intended as the first installment of a million dollar payout two American officials. What do you make of that? Is that just the type of world that we need to have that we're not supposed to know about why would they care about Trump's secrets though we we don't need that kind of world. Uh. And of course you were called uh that Don Jr. Was urged to meet with a Russian And it turns out that we readily she had to give her special personal okay to let her in the country since RAVISA wasn't good, so she could meet with Don Trump. And I still believe we're going to find out that they used the fact that he met with her questionable Russian that he didn't know how questionable until he met with our found out. It was a little, wasn't it a little? That there was a meeting before and after with this man, uh, and the meeting with Don Junior with Fusion GPS using GPS saying that they never verified what was in Steels dossier. They also admitted under oath that they were coordinating with the Clinton campaign as to leaking this information of the press. It stinks to I have and but where I was going was the Intelligence Committee grilled Don Junior for hours and hours And I'm not hearing that kind of uh uh desire to question Mark Warner and others that have reached out on information they were trying to get about Trump. Uh. If we're gonna be fair, then those same people that are part of our our shadowy government. Uh, they need to come in and answer questions for hours and hours and hours like Don Junior did and so does Mark Warner. Uh. You know, those things need to happen if we're gonna be fair. But it looks we're not in as fairal world as we might should be. You know, I'm watching all this unfold here and I just never thought, Louis, and we've been friends for a lot of years, that I guess it's bad enough that somebody rigs a primary and nobody seems to care about it. I guess I'm the only one that cares about poor Bernie Sanders getting ripped off in his race. But you know that for any other candidate besides Hillary, I think would be a big deal. But then you have high ranking people, not the rank and file. We love the ranking file and the FBI and the intelligence community that do their jobs for us, and they put a lot of effort and risk their lives at times for us. But when you have the fix in with Peter Struck, Lisa Page, Andy McCabe, and James comey. Uh, and we know there were crimes committed, We know that this enabled her to go forward in the campaign, and then we know that they're literally we have Clinton supporters feeding Christopher Steele all of this phony information about Donald Trump. But then it's used for the basis of a fiser warrant. But when presented to the as a cord, apparently the only the only indication they give that it's political and nature is that, oh, it may have political origins, when they knew darn well it was paid for by Hillary and paid for by the DNS. When you you start peacing all this together is as is starting to come out, and thank you very much for your persistence. Uh it it really is perhaps the biggest threat to our republic that we've had. Uh. You know, when the government was able to weaponize that much of the government, When when a president's administration was able to weaponize this much of the federal government, that is when you are really close to losing the republic. And Nude has pointed out on your show a number of times, uh that if Hillory had been elected, we would never have known how compromised our government was, how close we were to being third world dictatorship where the government uses or where where a president uses the government to defeat anybody that might ever try to challenge. It's what goes on in Russia. It's what Jabez did in uh in Venezuela. Well, what is what do you think should happen? I mean, I'm waiting. Everybody that I interviewed pretty much says we should have a special counsel. We we don't have a second special council to investigate the investigators. So I guess my question to you is what is the answer where we've got to have a special counsel? And uh, I think I've mentioned to you provably. I had asked President Trump back in June, I said, you know, you could appoint a special counsel yourself. Looking back, June may have been too soon because people, uh there was there weren't enough of us that believed we needed as a second council back then. But now it is so clear we absolutely have to have one because you know, the the FBI can't investigate themselves and the d o J can't investigate themselves adequately. This is going to completely shake the career folks. Uh, anywhere near the top of the FBI and the d o J. And that's gonna take a special counsel, and it's gonna take something somebody, I think from outside the Beltway. But you look at Mueller. A special council is going to have to investigate Mueller. You've been on the trail of this uh uranium one sale since it first, even the least bit started coming out. You were on top of it. And Mueller and and uh, um, well what's his name? Probably talking about James Colemey. Right, Well, but hanging there, Louie gotta take a break anyway, and we'll give you a time to regroup. We'll come back. Louie Gomer's with us one Shawn right as we continue, Louie Gomer, Congressman from the Great State of Texas, is with us, member of the Freedom Caucus. Uh. We were talking about the deep state and talking about your you believe we need a special counsel. And you know, look at all the people that we've had let leave already or retire already, or be demoted already. I mean, you got Comy, You've got Rachel Brand this weekend. I don't know if there's any I didn't see any problems with her though, but Peter Struck and Lisa Page demoted, reassigned, McCabe has fired, Baker's retired, David Laufman resigned, Rebicki, reassigned, Bruce or demoted, Sally Yates fired, and it goes on from there. I mean, it seems like a lot of bleeding, but only at the top where it can't help. But think that when we get to the bottom of it, we're going to find that some of those people that are leaving now probably consulted with Mueller about who he should put on his task force. You know, they probably about Struck. I doubt that Moeller would have put him on. And I see you talk to other people at the d J in the FBI, So some of those people that he probably consulted with, Uh, there they're realizing, Oh, when they start getting down to it and they find out I was helping Moeler or helping Rosenstein or on the original Russia investigation where we know Moeler was the FBI director, we know Rosenstein was. If Rosenstein is involved in in signing off on at least the renewal of the FISA application, that never Yeah, but then how does he get to that appointment Mueller. I just don't well. The way that happened is people didn't realize how involved he was in this in this background. But uh, but you look at Rosenstein, my word, Uh, he should never have appointed somebody. It involved a Russia investigation, and because that's what he and Mueller were both involved in before. If he had done his job, he would never have have appointed Mueller. He would have said, I can't appoint anybody because it involved the Russian and I was involved in the Russian investigation. But what really frustrates me Sewan as a former judge form or two justice, if somebody came before my court and misrepresented things, they were going to jail for contempt of court even before they got around to a perjury trial. If somebody, uh it commits a fraud upon the court in the judge's presence, then you don't even need another hearing to find him in contempt. You can just go to it. And uh, I found that once you put one lawyer in jail, that others realized this judge is really serious about being honest with him and and doing what is right in the court. And I am so frustrated that we have this VICI system that I become more and more concerned about, so much so I couldn't vote for renewing the seven or two process until we get more reforms. But nobody for all the misrepresentations before the Vice A Court. These are These are federal district and appellet judges that have been denominated and confirmed, and not one of them has had enough pride in the truth to call lawyers before them and say, you lied about this, you didn't tell me about that, you misrepresented this in my court, and you're going to jail for contempt to court for a eight days for doing that. And let's see about perjury and those kind of things. We're gonna stay on it that I can promise you, all right, Louis Gohmert, thanks so much for being with us. A hundred nine one Sean told free telephone number. Uh, there was a takedout of F sixt shot down in Syria. Is rarely playing over the weekend, and Israel responded with fierce force. We'll get to that. We'll get to your calls. Also coming up next hour one sewn. We got an amazing Hannity tonight nine Eastern. We hope you'll set you DVR on for the Fox News Channel quick break. Right back, we'll continue news round up, end information overload. Our glad you are with us. We'll get to your calls by the bottom of this half hour eight D nine for one Shawna's auto free telephone number, if you want to be a part of the program. I mean, it's so sad, it was so transparent, it was so obvious. You know, We've been talking a little bit earlier in the program today about you know, how you have a group of of media people falling in love with, you know, North Korea. Is you know, Kim Jong un, the brutal, murdering dictator's sister sister at the Olympics, And I'm watching this fawning. I mean, CNN literally, you know, throws out the most glowing piece about Kim Jong UN's sister at the Olympics. Well, I think back, and I've looked at how America has responded. If you're a liberal and you suck up to murdering dictator, is your viewed as a hero? I have no idea. If you're somebody like Donald Trump and and you take a tough stand against terrorism, against dictators, ships against murdering thugs somehow you're about to start a nuclear war. And so Donald Trump, unlike some of his predecessors, has taken a stand of we're gonna be strong and no, we're not going to bribe murdering dictators, so they won't do what we say anyway. And that was the whole case of what happened in North Korea. That's what happened with Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is providing fuel and and three billion dollars worth of all sorts of things, and he goes before the world. I'm just telling there's a good day of American people. They're not gonna get nuclear weapons, all right. Now he's got nuclear weapons now. At the time when Obama was funneling these billions of dollars and cargo planeloads of cash and other currencies over to Iran, well, I was telling everybody that would listen right here on this program that it's a ransom payment to the number one state sponsor of terror, and it's only gonna aid and to bet their ability to foment more terror. And we and we're now ending up funding it to the tune of yets. A lot of that money apparently has made their way to his Bollah. Anyway, as Israel now, is had to deal with Iranian drones in their airspace this weekend, and then he dealt with it swiftly and executed perfectly as usual. They had an F sixteen shot out of the air and uh, Israel just doesn't sit back passively and take these terrorist attacks, and they went on the offensive. And of course the world wants to condemn Israel for protecting their sovereignty. Anyway, let's take a trip down memory lane warning how bad this deal would be, this Obama Iranian deal. How about before we sit down at the table, they've got to do a certain number of things and show that they've changed their behavior. Number One, they have to recognize his Reel's right to exist and denounce any comments by any Iranian leader to wipe them off the map. Secondly, you've got to stop burning American and Israeli flags and chanting death to America. Number Three, you've got to stop being the number one state sponsor of terror, and that means, you know, funding terrorists against the Saudi's and Yemen, and funding terrorists like Hezbollah and other groups against the Israelis. How about those are preconditions before any discussions. That sounds reasonable. This deal is basically giving the radical Mullahs all the money that they need, hundreds of billions of dollars, so they can continue to expand their worldwide terrorism campaign. It's not only going to be in the region, it will be well beyond the region. That means potentially in the United States. And um, that's really sad and I frankly don't understand the mindset of a president that would ever do this. You know, you go back, what were they saying four days ago this weekend there was a rally. The Supreme Leader was there this weekend and a mob burning the American flag, the Israeli flag, chanting death to America, death to Israel. Four days ago the Supreme Leader, you know, talking about in the middle of these negotiations the destruction of Israel ill is non negotiable. They are the number one state sponsor of terror. They fund groups like Hezbollah, Hamas and all these other terrorist groups. They provide them the weaponry. They killed American servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan. They're responsible for the death of many, many Americans. They are holding Americans in their prisons even now as we speak. Why wasn't that part of the deal? You know? Three days ago, the Supreme Leader said, the United States embodies global arrogance and the battle against it will continue unabated, even if the nuclear agreement is concluded. So we made a deal with a country that says their war with US is going to continue regardless of this deal. You know. It's um Uh, the head of Hezbollah said about this, a rich and strong Iran will be able to stand by its allies and friends in the region more than at any other point in the past. In other words, they'll continue to sponsor terrorism and fight proxy wars, and and build up their financial war chest, etcetera, etcetera. All right, joining us now to discuss this and someone more. Caroline Glick is the deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post and author of The Israeli Solution, a one state plan for peace in the Middle East. Al Parota is the managing editor of The Stream and outspoken spoken supporter of Israel. Um Well, you don't have to be a genius, Caroline, to figure out that radical malahs in Iran that are chanting death to Israel, death to America, fighting proxy wars, burning American flags, and burning Israeli flags that if you give the money and you say pretty pretty pleased, you know, be nice now that they're not gonna listen, and all you're doing is fomenting and now funding their ability to commit more terror. So this is not a surprise to me. No, it's not a surprise, but it is very disserving because they really know the things that Prime Minister Ben Jim in Israel and really Israeli from across the political spectrum, we're standing on every third box and meal is. The entire time that the Obama administration was advancing its nuclear negotiations and concluding the nuclear deal was that, um, this is going to empower Iran and it was going to be stabilized the region, and it was going to make it eat deer for a run to acquire nuclear weapons and to become a regional hegemon. And you know, the wom administration was castigating all of its opponents and Israel as war mongers. Americans who opposed his nuclear deal were referred to as war mongers, and some of the basis language was really implying that Jewish Americans who opposed the deal were just loyal to the United States and working in the service of foreign power, and yeah, this is an incredible libel against Jewish Americans. Beyond that, it's incredibly dangerous for the United States because Iran is learning American flags as well as Israeli flags, and Iron views the United States as this primary enemy in the world. UM for them, you know, is well as a proxy of the United States. And that's what one of the reasons they hate is to aside from ranking Cothmitism, and so the idea that oh, there's really no inherent problem with the Iranian regime, which is toxically uh anti American and hate the United States and speaks its construction, and then it's really just a problem with UM is dangerous United States. But there's something worse than more so if you're denying your enemy, there's something absurd about the whole premise. Bill Clinton in his case with North Korea, Barack Obama in his case with Iran, thinking oh, we can just kiss their ass and we can buy we can buy peace. You can't buy peace al with people, as Caroline is pointing out here, you can't buy peace with people that hate you, that foment tera against you, that are vowing to destroy you. Every day, No, you can't do it. And it's been like giving a drunk a hundred dollar bills and bill and not expecting them to spend it on news. I mean, that's where the absurdity comes in, is believing that they could bring Iran into the Family of Nations. I mean, it's like having chucked you Charles Manson into the family. What why? What was the thinking even to begin with behind the strategic desire that they had to get that deal at any cost, And the costs were incredibly high. And I believe this weekend we saw some of the after effects after costs, because you know, Hesblas in a stronger position in Syria. Iran is building weapons factories in Syria according to the New York Times from last year, and I guess we found some of Obama's construction jobs. You know, we saw a pretty strong response Caroline glicked this weekend and a stern threat to Iran over the weekend and warning the Malas in Tehran that Jerusalem is prepared to inflict heavy blows on their republic should they continue to operate in Syria after the shooting down of this F sixteen. Now, um, they've already hit iraniant targets inside of Syria, and I I gotta believe that this is probably the beginning of something, perhaps a little bit bigger, because I don't think Israel has much of a choice if they're gonna start shooting their planes out of the air. Well, You're absolutely right, Israel doesn't have a choice. And you know, really, I mean, I wrote this article in in Breitbart over the weekend where I was obtoining that really Syria has become this battlefield that um you're going to see a lot of violence from we have for the past seven years in the civil war and in Serisa, has really become a proven ground for regional struggles that are led by Iraq, I mean Iran, and that they're trying to undermine, um, every every moderate country and destroy Israel. But it's also Russia. They're that's trying to assert its hegemony in the Middle East and to diminish American power and ability to project its power and secure its interns in the Middle East. You're going to see a lot of violence, So I need's Arabel. Two things that wouldn't have been on Saturday. One is that Israel really took the opportunity of the downing of the S sixteen, which you will happen when you're in such a anti aircraft missile rich environment. Eventually you're gonna lose the plane. But it's also the advantage of that, well, it's in order to wipe out half of uh the anti aircraft batteries in Syria, and so that according to the reports, and you know, so um that shows it is really saying, Okay, you hit us, We're gonna hit you twice. We're gonna hit you kent times harder. And that's what Prime Minutes Opinon said. And you have to do that if you're gonna keep going in this incredibly dangerous, unstable environment. Is it. One of the problems that they have here OWL is that at the end of the day, the Israelis can take them out, but they have all those pressure, you know, from outside of Israel telling them not to do it. I mean, just look at the reaction to President Trump recognizing Jerusalem now is the capital, which they should have done. But I think more importantly it's what is the United States going to do? Look at the involvement of Russia and all of this, you know, creating a scenario where the dictator Assad could probably continue in power. Not something we want to see happen. Yeah, we've got ourselves a very complex situation over there with what we do in the pressure that Israel is under not to do what it can do. Can it eliminate those all the defenses really quick? Yeah? But then the the international community coming down on it so hard. That makes a little harder. But these two forces, the Iran and Israel, are getting it's going closer and closer, and at some point without some divine intervention or some smart moves and some pressure put in on Russia to help keep those two apart, and us doing what we can do to put pressure on Iran all these different directions, and we're gonna there's going to be a conflict. There's This is just a little skirmish because there even though they knocked out half the defenses, this is in terms of propaganda, this was huge. As you know, there're people dancing in the streets in Damascus that they knocked down played for the first time in thirty five years. Oh, this is a new strategic you know, a new strategic stage. And they're so they're excited about this. The fact that the defenses got blown up. Hey, I gotta take a break, Stay right there. Al Paroda is with us, managing editor of The Stream. Caroline Glick, deputy managing managing editor of The Jerusalem Post, author of The Israeli Solution. Eight hundred nine for one, Shawn is a toe free telephon Number'll get to your calls final half hour of the program today and as we continue Sean Hannity Show will get to your calls at the bottom of the half hour one Shawn if you want to be a part of the program as we continue. Caroline Glick is the deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post and author of The Israeli Solution and Middle East expert. Al Paroda is with us, managing editor of The Stream. Uh, Caroline, where where are we with the investigations going into the Prime minister in Israel? I know there's been a lot of people trying to attack him. He's now the longest serving prime minister in Israeli history. But I think at this moment where he was the only one with moral clarity on the world stage, I think he has the best partnership he's ever had with President Trump. I've written about it in the past. I wrote it about it on Friday and the Jews from Poach. You know, we have a situation in Israel that is devastatingly similar to the situation with Warship proven the United States where you now, um sort of strange investigations of the Prime Minister that dragging on and on and on and on and on and so the main allegation against him is that he took too many cigars and bottles of King Champagne from his old friends and excuse me, and then he helped his friend to secure visa pretty United States. It wasn't just any friend, that says Arnold Milchen, one of the top producers in Hollywood. He for comes to zar reason was having a hard time renewing his visa after living in the United States for decades. Is one of the top You're you're talking about a guy that may have given bottles of water and pink champagne. Why Why do I doubt that baby Netan Yahoo drinks pink champagne. That's for his wife bb bbun Antonia apparently received cigars and so um. Nobody can understand why this is a major criminal probe because the notion that you can call helping somebody get a visa. Um, a quick p quote for getting some cardons and cigars is just bizarre and dragging Israel into this period of extraordinary political instability. In the police, which is also the police investigative units, is leaking like a sieve. UM. It sounds exactly like what's going on here. They're taking place exactly. So it's very the threat thing for most Israelis to be watching this because we feel like there's an attempt here to overthrow government um by unelected pure craft and cape in the police. And and it's actually quite frightening because at least in the United States, the Congress have oversight powered the constitution over the executive. So if you have breath lawmakers in the House in the Senate like you're having right now, if people like to even newdie um, when you're able to exert oversight over the executive branch, but an interrupt because we don't have a constitution like that in more parliamentary system to connect that. Our parliament doesn't have that kind of oversight power, so you basically have these bureaucracies that are unsettered. I gotta leave it there, but we appreciate both of you being with us. Caroline, thank you. I'll thank you nine for one, Shawn or toll free telephone number. We'll come back. We'll get to your calls on this Monday, on this busy breaking news Monday on the Sean Hannity Show, Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. We have a lot of news will be covering. We'll give you more on that straight ahead. Insist the first member of the regime to come into the South since the since the war, and the United States is essentially saying to its allied, no, no, no, no no. It's been such a stark contrast to watch. North Korea is using the public attention and the public spotlight of these games to promote some sense of normalcy, where you have the sister attending the opening ceremony. You we've seen the images of the North Korean cheerleaders cheering on their athletes, and the Vice President has been very stark and very firm over the last several as saying, look, this is a complete propaganda. And you see he has sent that message pretty much in every action that he did over the last several days. In Asia, you had him inviting a Fred Warm beer, the son or the father of Otto warm Beer to sit with him in the opening ceremonies. He was meeting with North Korean North Korean defectors. When he was in Japan, he touted the aggressive sanctions against North Korea. So there was a very clear message that he was sending at a time when you see North Korea trying to kind of drive a wedge between South Korea and in the United States, especially in these Olympic Games. And the Vice President kept trying to make the point that there is no space between the United States and South Korea. But is there not? It wasn't that quite evident to us that there is at least tone space. Well, I mean, the South Korean president wanted Vice President Pence to shake the hand of Kim Junn's sister, and he very pointedly did not do that. The Touth Koreans thought that that would be uh an important symbol of the United States willingness to sort of potentially take a path that does not involve the military option but instead involves negotiation and you know, talking to each other. But President Trump was very adamant and by the Vice President, you know, certainly got the message that that was not going to happen, and they did not want to hand the North Korean's what would have been a pr coup um at at this kind of sensitive time in the in the conflict. VP Mike Pants was in the stands at the Olympics where he seemed to be making a solid protest by remaining seated when North and South Korean athletes entered the stadium under the Korean unification flag. Now, was this the place to make that state? Are you just forget to get it up? I thought was that Mike Pence said that it was inappropriate to make political statements at sporting events. Wasn't to be that guy who walked out of the football game because people were kneeling and they would say that in his country and in the wrong country. Is what he would say to that. But he's representing the United States of America. Is that we have to be respectful because you know what we do know about politicians is they end up sitting with people that you and I say, well, why they're sitting with that? You know, if you're in Korea, you need to stand up. You need to stand up and show respect. We should have given enough, had enough respect to say you know what maybe they are doing a good thing for themselves and maybe we can sit down with them at some point, but you can't. You can't have it both ways. He decided to do his peaceful protests. It's very interesting that he didn't take a knee, because you would have known if he was paying homage, because taken in need is not disrespectful, you know, because you can. You can take a need to propose to somebody, take anita to to pray to somebody. So I think him not taking a kneed. Can we just end this, uh, because it's very hard to hear opinions that are that that seemingly off base. Anyway, glad you're with us twenty four till the top of the hour. We're gonna get to our calls here this final half hour, you know. CNNs Kim Jong UN's sister stealing the show at the Winter Olympics. The New York Times without a word, only flashing smiles. Kim Jong UN's sister out flyinging Vice President Mike penns and diplomacy. The Washington Post declared Kim Jong UN's sister the Avanka Trump of North Korea. I'm not making any of these headlines up ABC News writing North Korea's two hundred plus cheerleader UH steal spotlight team Winter Olympics, and The New York Times referred to the North Korean cheerleaders as an army of beauties. Wouldn't that be viewed as sexist? Linda? In this day and age, there's nothing sexist. We're all one, everything is equal, everything is fine. There's nothing to see here, you know, did everybody ie the only one that's thinking, Okay, your brother UH just was flying missiles over our allyed Japan and threatening Guam and and threatening instability in the entire region. And the first of all, I mean, maybe nickbombney continental United States with a nuclear weapon even and I were just talking about it. And maybe it's an insult to them, Like why are they comparing her to Avonka Trump? Maybe they're saying that she's like Ivanka Trump because they hate her and they bash her all the time. I don't think that's what the news media meant. And then they would have to admit that they liked Ivanka. They're just saying that she's a Listen, they're sucking up. You could just tell they love this. All right, Let me get to some busy phones see a lot of you have been very patient today. Thank you as we say hi to Mary Beth is in Arkansas. Mary Beth, Hi, how are you happy Monday? Glad you're with us. Thanks for taking my cal Hi. I am so think of this crap. My husband has been begging you just sit down and watch it. Living with him and I sat down with him last night and saw our vice president sitting right next to that idiots sister, and I thought, where is our secret service? Why is he sitting there like that? That is ridiculous. He is our vice president. Why is he even sitting close to her? Listen. I don't care where the vice president said, but they listen. There's just it's so I think that everybody wants to believe on the left that and this is bizarre to me. Everybody on the love wants to believe if you just be a little nicer to the thug, the murderer, the dictator, the person that abuses his entire country, then maybe they'll like us more. That's what it is. It's people. We could be nice to it. Huh, Well, listen, I just don't believe in sucking up to the world's dictators. That threatened to destroy US, and that's North Korea and that's Iran. Today vice President was being very respectful for sitting there with her. Yeah. I think the Vice President is there to honor our athletes. I've tried this weekend to get into the Olympics a little. I was really proud of that seventeen year old kid that I don't know how. I don't know how they do that snowboarding, twisting and turning and flipping and flopping and don't break their neck. I'm just thankful to God my kids don't do that because I lose my mind. But they're so good at it. It's it's really talent on display. It's an artistry and sport that I've never seen before. And I was happy for that seventeen year old kid who won. But beyond that, I just I can't get into the I played hockey. I mean, maybe I'll watch hockey when it comes on. That's usually towards the end anyway. Eight one Shawn Sandy is in California. Hey Sandy, how are you glad you called hi? Sean Saturday, the New York Times released the story that are intelligence agencies actually paid Russians to get cyber tools back and for dirt on President Trump. They paid a hundred thousand dollars to these guys for a down payment of you know, for a one million dollar payment, and then discovered that they had been fooled by the Russians, kind of like the comedians did to Shift. And to me, it's just further evidence that President Trump was targeted by these different organizations like the n S, A c, I, A, FBI, d o J, you know, belonging to Trump. They weaponized their intelligence and to me, it's just, you know, Trump has been vindicated. The new Nez memo revealing to me that McCabe admitted that without that dossier paid by Clinton and the um D n C, they would have never got that fice a warrant. And I just think the whole thing should stop. And I'm surprised that so called intelligence people are fooled by these Russians. And it looks to me more like if they interfered, they interfered because our intelligence agencies were so biased against Trump that they were willing to pay for foolish stuff, stuff that didn't even exist. Yeah, look, it's really sad to me that, you know, we have wasted a whole year being lied to. You've watched an effort by high ranking people and Justice and the FBI and others literally doing all they can to preserve Hillary in a presidential election race, literally save her from being indicted, putting the fixing and rigging it. And then it gets worse than that. Then they take Russian lies, and then they take lives from Clinton cronies, and then they put it in a dossier, and then the dossiers used to get a visor warrant just buy on an opposition campaign in an in an election year and then spy on an incoming president and then create a phony narrative because they lose that it's all about Russia when if there's if you want to talk about Russian interference in the election, let's start with the phony Russian dossier Hillary paid for, full of Russian government lies that she paid for. Uh, then we can look at the uranium one deal that she signed off on and benefited financially personally. Of I mean, everybody in the media is so sanctimonious and phony. I mean the fact that they're barely on the surface touching it, but they're resisting having to touch it as much as they possibly can, because basically all they are is an extension of all things liberal. And if you ever doubted it, now you know anyway, good call, We appreciate it. Back to our phones. Pam is in Hampton, Virginia. Hey, Pam, how are you glad you called Dan? What's going on? I just wanted to get back to that dossier. We are, as most of the American public, we are tired of hearing about it. And every time the Democrats try to go back to it, it proves something moral them and they don't realize how foolish they are really truly beginning to look to everyone. They'll say what about this? What about this? And that feels Then they go back to the Dosi, Well what about the Russian Dachi? And then they'll run to something else, what about this? What about this? And that fails, and they get back to the Dacier. And the more they go back to it, the more how a foolish they are, and b that they have nothing on Trump and they need to forgive it. Just drop it. We're done. The American public is done with it. You know the problem is if we, let's say, we allow everything that I've discussed to go go by and just say, for the sake of the country, just put it aside. Rigging primaries, rigging, Uh, we don't have equal justice under the law, rigging investigations, calling them matters, you know, exonerations before investigations, allowing you know, affies a court to be manipulated at the level they were men, manipulated for political reasons. And that's all designed to influence a presidential election and may very well have. Uh it's a little scary, it's disgusting and Sky, Yeah, you're right. Michelle's in uh Lafayette, Colorado. Next Sean Hannity Show, How are you hi, Sean? How are you? I'm good? What's happening? I was well. I made every time to watch MSNBC and CNN this week just to get their side of things. And I thought I was watching a special on a d D when I was watching Chris Matthews, But then I realized it was actually a news show, And then I realized I might be in the twilight zone. Because there's no mention that the d J or any of the Democrats didn't want the Republican memo released or their Democrat memo released. But Trump's you know, protecting us, protecting our country, making sure it's a security release the Democrat memo, and it's treason, you know. Look, I mean the Democratic I want to see the Democrats memo. I want to I even wanted to see the unredacted. The only problem is you can't reveal sources and methods. So what they did they thought they were being really clever and cute, and so they send things over to the White House that they know that the President can sign off on. President says, okay, nice, try nice, try nice trick. Uh, let's hand it to the FBI. They'll decide if they can go through which But I think he also did with the Republican memo as well. Um, look, these are troubling times. I mean the fact that people are so arrogant, they think they know better who should get arrested. They think they know better that they're not going to apply the law equally, They think they know better who should be the president of the United States. You know, the the the amount of of corruption here and abuse of powers worse than anything I've ever seen in my life. And the mainstream media, well, they're they're willing accomplishes the entire way they they just they dove right in first to help and assist any way possible. Here Jose is in Miami. W I O D. What's up? Jose? Hello, Sean. Thanks Steve McCole thinking out a loud here. When is Jet Sessions going to do something or anything as far as appointing a special counsel to investigate everything that you've been talking about? I don't know. I frankly don't understand it. I know that I have been assured by my sources within the Justice Department and elsewhere that there are ongoing investigations. For example, uranium one. We know there's an investigation into that. A few weeks back, there was even an indictment in that case, so that's moving forward. And we know last week that the the informant spoke before three congressional committees, So that's moving forward. As it relates to investigating the investigators, I don't know what it's going to take, but to me and to many others, it should have a special counsel. I agree. But why isn't that not getting more traction in the mainstream media. I mean, forget that they had no pre tense of objectivity more they just are not covering the facts as they developed. It's very frustrating. Well it is frustrating. I mean, you know, you gotta understand here there is you know that when you specially compare and contrast all that's been done against Donald Trump and against the Republican Party and all the corruption, all the abuse of power combined, and then they they this would be a slam dunk for a special counsel, probably in just six months, and I think they could get to the bottom of it. Now. I'm hoping we get a whiff of some truth through the Inspector General Horowitz's report on the Clinton email server investigation, and if it comes in the way it should, knowing the facts as I know them, it will literally take the media's breath away and we'll be proven right again. And I'm hoping that happens. Right. That's gonna wrap things up with today, all right, big investigation, deep state gate and the deep state paying for dur on Trump. Even the New York Times was reporting on this and the Democrats setting this fake memo trap. We'll have the latest on that. Also, we'll have the latest on how the media is just obsessed with Kim Jong UN's sister. What do they forget all those rockets over Japan, the latest on Obama era surveillance abuses, and tonight we'll have much more.
