Speaker 1: happy Monday, and we're glad you are with us right
Speaker 1: down on toll free telephone number if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of this program. You know a lot
Speaker 1: of friends, a lot of you that make my life,
Speaker 1: my job, what I do possible all week and have
Speaker 1: been asking me what do you think? And I didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't have a Twitter account. I have no access
Speaker 1: to it anymore, and either Linda or Kristen who works
Speaker 1: on the TV show I was. I did have them
Speaker 1: tweet out on my behalf and a lot of things
Speaker 1: this weekend, and I just I know a lot of
Speaker 1: you are like, yeah, you know you want to spike
Speaker 1: the football. No, finally, I don't even feel that a
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm angry. I am pissed off today. I'm
Speaker 1: happy that the truth came out. I'm happy that, yeah,
Speaker 1: the media is wrong again and we've been right all along.
Speaker 1: And I know that there's a part of this that
Speaker 1: should be saying up here. It's this should not happen
Speaker 1: in the United States of America. And as far as
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, this is just the first chapter in what
Speaker 1: has got to be the biggest challenge that we face
Speaker 1: as a country moving forward. You know how many lives
Speaker 1: have been you know turned over upside down inside out,
Speaker 1: and the Democrats, all they want to do is keep
Speaker 1: it going, keep it keep it going. How we handle
Speaker 1: what has happened, and we'll go through all of this
Speaker 1: in detail going forward is all that's gonna matter here, Because,
Speaker 1: for example, we have watched for nearly three years a corrupt,
Speaker 1: abusively biased media report every day with hysteria, with a breathlessness,
Speaker 1: with an excitement and a glee that they were going
Speaker 1: to impeach and bring down a sitting president of that
Speaker 1: was elected by the smelly we, the smelly Walmart people,
Speaker 1: the irredeemable deplorables, the Americans that proudly cling to their
Speaker 1: Bibles and God and Jesus and our yeah, our belief
Speaker 1: in the Second Amendment. What has happened that needs to
Speaker 1: be unraveled and checks and balance is put in place
Speaker 1: is not going to be an easy task if we
Speaker 1: in this country. And I never thought this could happen.
Speaker 1: It just just not the glee that some of you
Speaker 1: think I should be feeling that Well, Hannity, you've had
Speaker 1: it right the whole time, and all these other people
Speaker 1: were wrong the whole time they lied to us. That
Speaker 1: happens almost It's been happening for years. I did not
Speaker 1: cavalierly one day decide that journalism in America is dead.
Speaker 1: They earned it. And not only have they not gotten better,
Speaker 1: they have gotten they have gotten demonstrably worse. Brit Hume
Speaker 1: calling the media's coverage of this entire debacle the worst
Speaker 1: journalistic debacle of my lifetime. Do you know how many
Speaker 1: people have wanted me fired for my coverage? Do you
Speaker 1: know this ensemble cast of people that we put together
Speaker 1: that if it wasn't for maybe fifteen people, including some
Speaker 1: of my fellow brethren radio talk shows Russian Mark and
Speaker 1: Laura and others, there was And it was like we
Speaker 1: were standing there alone the whole time, knowing that the
Speaker 1: biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in this nation's history
Speaker 1: was unfolding. Brit Hume said, the worst journalistic debacle of
Speaker 1: my lifetime. And I've been in this business fifty years.
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything quite this bad, last this long.
Speaker 1: It was a terrible thing. It needs to be investigated.
Speaker 1: He called on media organizations and newspapers to review how
Speaker 1: and why they spent so much time covering utterly baseless speculation.
Speaker 1: How many non misreports that we had in the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, in some cases culminating with accusations of treason,
Speaker 1: which I'll chronicle today against the President of the United States.
Speaker 1: Leading members of the media must do some major soul searching,
Speaker 1: But so far he's not seeing any of that type
Speaker 1: of introspection from many since the conclusion of the Muller Report.
Speaker 1: When you have the highest people in power in government
Speaker 1: abusing their power in government, when we haven't even gotten
Speaker 1: to the illegal surveillance, the illegal unmasking, the leaking of
Speaker 1: raw intelligence, we haven't gotten to the twenty sixteen a
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty percent increase in such unmaskings three
Speaker 1: hundred attributed to the former UN ambassador under Obama, Samantha powers.
Speaker 1: When we give people the ability to basically shine a
Speaker 1: laser into your house and record every single thing said
Speaker 1: and done in that house, and that power is abused,
Speaker 1: and when that weaponry, as powerful as it is, is
Speaker 1: turned on it, we, the people of this country, we
Speaker 1: are at risk of losing the country forever. They at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we know and we have
Speaker 1: evidence of a rigged FBI Department of Justice investigation into
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, which needs to now be reopened after she
Speaker 1: rigged the primary. As we all know, I've never understood
Speaker 1: why I was the only one that seemed to care,
Speaker 1: because foundationally, is such a danger to our country. Then
Speaker 1: they tried to rig a general election, and they leak
Speaker 1: through their friends in the media Russian lies in the
Speaker 1: process to Iszikoff and David Korne and the Washington Post,
Speaker 1: and they disseminated that information to the American people prior
Speaker 1: to the election, Russian lies of all things. And when
Speaker 1: they spy as they did on an opposition party in
Speaker 1: a presidential election year, as they did, when they go
Speaker 1: before FISA courts and commit frauds of omission by not
Speaker 1: telling the PHYSA Court judge who paid for the dirty
Speaker 1: Russian dossier, and fraud before the FISA court by representing
Speaker 1: what we now know is unverifiable Russian lies to secure
Speaker 1: the warrant, which denies an American citizen, in this case
Speaker 1: Carter Page, due process and constitutional rights. When you deny
Speaker 1: a free and fair election to Donald J. Trump and
Speaker 1: his supporters, and then after the election you attempt a
Speaker 1: coup of a sitting president by using, of all things,
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for Russian lies, as an
Speaker 1: insurance policy. And I know everyone's praising Mueller, but when
Speaker 1: you appoint a special counsel that appoints a one sided
Speaker 1: team of pro Hillary and anti Trump political advocates, and
Speaker 1: you still can't get to where you want to go.
Speaker 1: The damage that have been done to countless people in
Speaker 1: this is incalculable. But more importantly, the damage to our
Speaker 1: justice system is extraordinarily dangerous in terms of is America
Speaker 1: going to have equal justice under the law, Are we
Speaker 1: going to have equal applications of our laws? Are we
Speaker 1: going to have a constitutional republic or will this be
Speaker 1: a banana republic where the chosen powerful get to decide
Speaker 1: how this country goes. That's why it's now time to
Speaker 1: focus on fixing this colossal, corrupt abuse of power and mess.
Speaker 1: And no future president should ever have to endure this.
Speaker 1: The American people deserve better than what we have had
Speaker 1: happened here. And these people that abuse this power, every
Speaker 1: single solitary one of them, and I'll list them, they
Speaker 1: need to be held accountable for the crimes they committed,
Speaker 1: for the abuse of intelligence weapons that they turned on
Speaker 1: their own people because they knew better. They're superpatriots. Now,
Speaker 1: the media if They're just hopeless. Don't ever expect the
Speaker 1: retraction and apology or that they're ever going to change
Speaker 1: their ways. They will double down again. They are so
Speaker 1: full of conspiracy theory, rage and hatred of any and
Speaker 1: all things Trump and anybody that supports them. They're not
Speaker 1: capable of change, but they are never to be trusted
Speaker 1: going forward. That's who they are and that's who they
Speaker 1: will ever be. I do not expect them to change
Speaker 1: or be held accountable. They're they're even showing signs of
Speaker 1: more rage and hatred now because they've been exposed again.
Speaker 1: Notice how often they're wrong and we're right. Did they
Speaker 1: ever vet Obama? Frank Marshall, Davis Olinsky, Acorn Community Organizing,
Speaker 1: the Church of ged America, America's Chickens Home to roost,
Speaker 1: starting your career in the home of a repair terrorists.
Speaker 1: They were not interested. They would never tell you about
Speaker 1: his eight years of what was a colossal failure of
Speaker 1: a president. We did, you know. It's funny that we've
Speaker 1: now revisited recently the Richard Jewel case. They were wrong,
Speaker 1: then why did they go after a sixteen year old
Speaker 1: Nicholas Sandman as hard as they did? And these other
Speaker 1: kids that are in high school, sixteen year old kids,
Speaker 1: and bludgeoned them with lies and misinformation because they wanted
Speaker 1: it to continue their political narrative about Trump or Jesse Smollett,
Speaker 1: whatever his name is. Why'd they buy that Hoholk line
Speaker 1: and sinker? Why were they wrong on the Cambridge police.
Speaker 1: Think of the ramifications of their horrible reporting in Ferguson,
Speaker 1: the expectations that they built up in people buy them
Speaker 1: rushing to judgment having an agenda. They did it again
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, Freddie grat They rushed to judgment. Those cops
Speaker 1: are getting convicted. They didn't. They did it down in
Speaker 1: Florida with you know, the Zimmerman Trey Vaughan case. They
Speaker 1: rushed to judgment. They did it with Uva. They did
Speaker 1: it with Duke Lacrosse. They did it with Kavanaugh. They
Speaker 1: did it with Justice Thomas. They did it with Robert Bourke.
Speaker 1: This is just a whole new level. They laughed at
Speaker 1: the idea run Donald run. They have never taken a
Speaker 1: second to stop the every second, every minute of every
Speaker 1: hour of every day now for three years, to even
Speaker 1: mention a single accomplishment of this president, of which there
Speaker 1: are many record breaking accomplishments. They hate him, and they
Speaker 1: hate all of you and us that voted for him,
Speaker 1: and they wanted to take him down with a vigor
Speaker 1: and a rage that was psychotic and out of control
Speaker 1: to the point that any source or no source was
Speaker 1: good enough for them. And that's the same with the
Speaker 1: You know, we have the media and the extreme radical
Speaker 1: Democratic Socialist Party. They are one entity. What they say
Speaker 1: about the border, oh, it's not a manufactured crisis. Manufact
Speaker 1: They even used the same words. Are we going to
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this, because let me tell
Speaker 1: you something, this is not a celebratory moment. We have
Speaker 1: a psychotic, dangerous rage and hatred that brought us to
Speaker 1: this point. Sore loserism at the highest level. Any anonymous
Speaker 1: source will do any wild speculation is within bounds, run amuck.
Speaker 1: The rule of law be damned, Do process be damned,
Speaker 1: Equal justice under the law be damned, Equal application of
Speaker 1: our laws be damned, The Constitution ignored, and not be damned. Two.
Speaker 1: In the process of advancing their agenda, the media mob,
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party mob have now caused incalculable harm, division
Speaker 1: and damage in this country and every deep state actor
Speaker 1: as well. It now defines them. And unless and until
Speaker 1: we get this right and put in place the checks
Speaker 1: and balances that we the people deserve, this cannot this
Speaker 1: will this will happen again and again, and we will
Speaker 1: lose the country. Just to give you a programming notes here,
Speaker 1: Jay Sekulo is going to check in with us. You
Speaker 1: know one end of George Popadappolo spend twelve days in jail.

Speaker 1: I'm reading people now, I see. I honestly don't take
Speaker 1: any pleasure in the fact that for two years that
Speaker 1: we have gotten a living crap beating out of us.
Speaker 1: And I've got to give shout outs because there were
Speaker 1: not many of us there really weren't. That we're digging deep,
Speaker 1: you know, John Solomon, Greg Jarrett, Sarah Carter Byron York,
Speaker 1: j Secular, Rudy Giuliani, Kim Strassell at The Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: Sydney Powell, Andy McCarthy, Victor Davis Hansen, Dan Bongino, our
Speaker 1: friend d C. McCalister, Molly Hemingway, another one, Monica Crowley,
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Matt Gates, Jeff Lord I, by
Speaker 1: the way, think of our team here, Linda, Jason Ethan.
Speaker 1: What's the new girl's name? Ah, kidding, Kylie. We have one.
Speaker 1: I meant the other a new person. I was thinking
Speaker 1: of her. She's not here. Yeah, you don't remember either,
Speaker 1: Oh great? Yeah? And my TV team team, I would
Speaker 1: ask them all to dig deep. I asked everybody to
Speaker 1: research daily, you know, and and and you know, then
Speaker 1: you can't forget the others. Like my fellow talk radio brethren,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Joe PAGs and you know, all
Speaker 1: my wonderful I'm not gonna mention everyone because Lars Larsen,
Speaker 1: Rush and Mark and you know what, my fellow people
Speaker 1: of Fox Tucker, Laura, Fox and Friends, these people all
Speaker 1: there weren't a lot of us. There weren't And it
Speaker 1: was a ninety nine point nine percent of the corrupt
Speaker 1: medium mob in their psychotic you know, a vile hatred
Speaker 1: and rage that took over any sense they had. That's
Speaker 1: got a change too, look at you know, it's you
Speaker 1: have Zucker Proud. You know there was one hundred and
Speaker 1: you know Michael Avanadi got arrested today and it's not
Speaker 1: my top story by any means. You know, it's um
Speaker 1: what for trying to extort charges are trying allegedly trying
Speaker 1: to extort Nike for fifteen to twenty five million. He's
Speaker 1: in custody, um, you know whatever. But he was on
Speaker 1: fake news CNN and MSNBC in a two month period,
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten times their favorite anti Trump guest.
Speaker 1: It wasn't an accident. What happened to Nicolas Samman or
Speaker 1: their position on Jesse Smollett, whatever you say, his name,
Speaker 1: and what am I looking at? Oh, Linda handsman package,
Speaker 1: I mean my team. Honestly, this has not been I'm
Speaker 1: the fa, the voice on radio, in the face on TV.
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you we've all you know, we
Speaker 1: we don't sleep, did we live, eat, breathe and do
Speaker 1: this every day. It's not by accident that we've been
Speaker 1: right in all these high profile cases and they've been wrong.
Speaker 1: Because if I'm wrong once, they want to rip my
Speaker 1: lungs out and fire and boycott me. And just like
Speaker 1: everybody else on Fox and on radio, mainstream, I have
Speaker 1: put it up on the website. I can't possibly get
Speaker 1: this in in a three hour show. It's on our website,
Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. I didn't have to ask why you're
Speaker 1: just such a wise as early you know you just
Speaker 1: love to rub it in. Chance means the prepared mind.
Speaker 1: Thank you as an order, thank you, You're welcome. Um.
Speaker 1: Look at this this letter by our new Attorney general. Oh,
Speaker 1: I have hope for once that we add let's see
Speaker 1: a special council. Sixteen lawyers, forty FBI agents, intelligence analysts,
Speaker 1: forensic accountants. The Special Council issued two thousand, eight hundred subpoenas,
Speaker 1: executed five hundred search warrants, Obtained more than two hundred
Speaker 1: thirty orders for communication records, issued almost fifty orders of
Speaker 1: authorizing use of pen registers, and thirteen requests of foreign
Speaker 1: governments for evidence. Interviewed approximately five hundred witnesses, five hundred
Speaker 1: lives upturned in ways you will never know. And some
Speaker 1: of these people can't afford the lawyers they had to hire.
Speaker 1: They can't. And now the Democrats they don't give a
Speaker 1: flying rip. They're gonna call them all back again because
Speaker 1: they can't handle the truth that they were so wrong
Speaker 1: and that, in fact, that there will be no further indictments.
Speaker 1: There's no sealed indictments, which they were reporting late Friday,
Speaker 1: and you know, look at Mueller couldn't have been any
Speaker 1: more clear. My biggest question about Mueller is why did
Speaker 1: you take so long? Why did you upend everybody else's lives?
Speaker 1: Why did you appoint this team of radical Trump hating
Speaker 1: Democratic donors with a track record of people like Weissman
Speaker 1: and even Clinton's own lawyer, and he still couldn't get
Speaker 1: what they wanted him to get. They just they everything
Speaker 1: they had they've thrown at this president this man went
Speaker 1: through an FBI investigation, two congressional investigations, both said no
Speaker 1: zero evidence of collusion. I mean, when you know as
Speaker 1: it as he says the first describes his orders, what
Speaker 1: it was for Russian efforts to influence the election, documents
Speaker 1: crimes committed by persons associated with the Russian government. Why
Speaker 1: didn't he care about Hillary's bought and paid for Russian
Speaker 1: dossier that was leaked to the media to impact the
Speaker 1: American people before the last election and used as according
Speaker 1: to the new Nest and the Grassly Graham memos of
Speaker 1: the bulk of information in the Faizo warrant applications against
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign associate. So they had a complete backdoor
Speaker 1: and spies in the Trump campaign in the lead up
Speaker 1: to a presidential election. If we don't get to this
Speaker 1: is what needs to happen the investigation. Now, even James
Speaker 1: Baker thought and Hillary should be indicted. The number one
Speaker 1: General Council lawyer at the FBI under Komi, thought she
Speaker 1: should be She should have been indicted for the espionage Act.
Speaker 1: I've never seen you know this whole thing about everybody? So, well,
Speaker 1: what about obstruction? It didn't take a position, No, the
Speaker 1: a g and Rod Rosenstein took a position, and it's
Speaker 1: in the letter where they clearly state no, they had
Speaker 1: no evidence as it relates to obstruction of justice either
Speaker 1: considering the president's comments were rightful and true, and if
Speaker 1: they don't have the evidence, that means it doesn't rise
Speaker 1: to the level that now is being spun out of control,
Speaker 1: and then they're moving on to the next one. Hillary
Speaker 1: needs a full, complete, honest investigation. Everybody involved with the
Speaker 1: rigging of the Bernie Sanders primary needs to be investigated.
Speaker 1: Everybody involved in this attempt to use Russian influence to
Speaker 1: either spy or get into the Trump campaign. They need
Speaker 1: to be investigated for their abusive power, spying on an
Speaker 1: opposition party in a presidential election year under false pretenses.
Speaker 1: Visa v. Faiza warrants fraud by omission by not telling
Speaker 1: the court she paid for it, fraud in representing Russian
Speaker 1: lies that were never verifiable. They didn't do their job,
Speaker 1: and they did it to impact the election, denying an
Speaker 1: American citizen due process and constitutional rights, denying America a
Speaker 1: free and fair election that goes for the American people.
Speaker 1: And the president now himself when he was a candidate,
Speaker 1: you know, Jim Comey's lies. He signs the first eyes
Speaker 1: a warrant basically attesting to the truthful nature of the
Speaker 1: Russian dossier, and then three months later in Trump Towers says,
Speaker 1: well it's unverified. That's not what they said to the
Speaker 1: FISA court in October leading up to the election. Then,
Speaker 1: of course, then the insurance policy, which is nothing short
Speaker 1: of an attempted coup of a sitting president by using,
Speaker 1: of all things, Russian lies paid for by Hillary as
Speaker 1: a as a weapon to bludgeon Donald Trump for all
Speaker 1: of this time, and making sure that their friend got
Speaker 1: appointed special counsel with a one sided team of pro
Speaker 1: Hillary anti Trump political advocates. Think of the collateral damage.
Speaker 1: Michael Flints pleads guilty to lying when the FBI didn't
Speaker 1: think he lied. Why because they were threatening his son
Speaker 1: and his family and he lost his house because he
Speaker 1: couldn't pay for the lawyers. This is how we treat
Speaker 1: thirty three year old, thirty three year veterans and war
Speaker 1: heroes that fought in combat. That's that's not the country.
Speaker 1: I know he needs to withdraw that guilty plea. He needs.
Speaker 1: I'll start a fund that he gets a lawyer it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: But the collateral George Popadopolis, what about his collateral damage?
Speaker 1: An unknown? He has a book out today. Where do
Speaker 1: you read this book? It blew me away? I was
Speaker 1: reading it last night anyway. Or Manaphort's case was dead
Speaker 1: and buried? Now did Manaphort and call on it? Looks
Speaker 1: like it looks like they were stupid. They didn't pay
Speaker 1: their taxes and they lied on loan applications. Michael had
Speaker 1: taxi medallion issues and Manaphort, but no Russia collusion at all.
Speaker 1: But they you know, what did they want to do? What?
Speaker 1: What did the judge teach us in this case put
Speaker 1: the screws to mana for it? So he sings or
Speaker 1: composes so they can impeach Trump or whatever, or you know,
Speaker 1: or remove them from office. That's what happened. Kimberly Strassel
Speaker 1: has also been amazing in all of this, actually, as
Speaker 1: a column out today pointing out that Muller's report and
Speaker 1: failure to find any evidence against Trump is an indictment
Speaker 1: on the senior official. Senior officials is key. I had
Speaker 1: an FBI friend last night through another friend of mine,
Speaker 1: give me FBI pins an FBI shirt and I'm wearing
Speaker 1: that FBI pin tonight in solidarity with the rank and
Speaker 1: file FBI agents, the ninety nine point nine percent of
Speaker 1: the world's premiere law enforcement agency. And you know what
Speaker 1: FBI guys have been saying, thank you for always taking
Speaker 1: the time to distinguish us from them, because they aren't us,
Speaker 1: they don't represent us, and they were angrier than anybody
Speaker 1: else that I know. It is the greatest law enforcement
Speaker 1: agency on the planet. And what Comy did in this
Speaker 1: particular case. But Strassell's right, you know, the FBI unleashed
Speaker 1: as well as the intel community powers on a candidate
Speaker 1: for office of the presidency, an astonishing first in this country.
Speaker 1: It did so on the incredible grounds that the campaign
Speaker 1: conspired to aid a barn government used the most aggressive
Speaker 1: tools in their arsenal surveillance of US citizens, secret subpoena's,
Speaker 1: phone records, documents, human informants. None of this should have
Speaker 1: ever happened absent highly compelling evidence from the start. Yet
Speaker 1: we now know the FBI operated on a basis of
Speaker 1: an overheard conversation of a third tier campaign a George Poppadopoulos,
Speaker 1: who knows he was being set up as well as
Speaker 1: a wild dossier finite finite, financed by a rival presidential campaign.
Speaker 1: Mueller's no colusion and finding amounts to judgment that there
Speaker 1: wasn't any evidence. The Papadopoli's claim was always then the
Speaker 1: dossier could never be verified because its author doesn't stand
Speaker 1: by it. This was not hard for me to figure out.
Speaker 1: I wish I could tell you I'm a genius. I'm not.
Speaker 1: This was staring us right in the face, and my
Speaker 1: soul called. You want to know why. I've always had
Speaker 1: contempt for these people. That's why I've never been in
Speaker 1: one of these idiotic Washington correspondence dinners. I was dragged
Speaker 1: once to a Christmas party during the you know, during
Speaker 1: the at the White House during the It was for family.
Speaker 1: It wasn't for me. Trust me. I don't like them.
Speaker 1: They have an agenda, and that agenda has been exposed.
Speaker 1: How are you ever gonna watch them and trust them again?
Speaker 1: They never deserve your trust again, period. How many high
Speaker 1: profile cases or these people go to get wrong, most
Speaker 1: recently Smollett, most recently Nicholas Samman, but Uva, Duke, Richard Jewell, Ferguson, Cambridge,
Speaker 1: Tray Vaughan George Zimmerman. You know, when do they ever
Speaker 1: get held accountable? The media even you know, there's a
Speaker 1: piece by Matt tibby Rolling Stone. He's devastating to the
Speaker 1: media today and used to be on Imus's show quite
Speaker 1: a bit, I remember. But anyway, he said, nobody in
Speaker 1: the press wants to hear this, but news from the
Speaker 1: Special Prosecutor Mueller is now headed home without issues. It
Speaker 1: is a death blow for the reputation of the American
Speaker 1: news media. What I've been telling you since two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven, nothing Trump is accused of from now by
Speaker 1: the press will be believed by huge chunks of the population,
Speaker 1: a group that is now larger than his original base.
Speaker 1: There will be people protesting the Muller's report doesn't prove anything.
Speaker 1: What about the thirty seven indictments yet most of these
Speaker 1: indictments are Russian into intel and bought companies. And Devin
Speaker 1: Nooness warned everybody way back in twenty fourteen, Russia and
Speaker 1: Putin would do this. They've done it before, they'll try
Speaker 1: and do it again. Let me warn everybody, that's all
Speaker 1: gonna happen. And then he says, stop, just stop. Any
Speaker 1: journalist who goes there the thirty seven indictments. The financial matters,
Speaker 1: he said, is making it worse. Of course they're gonna
Speaker 1: make it worse. They can't control themselves. The cowardly shift
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff. He needs to be removed from that Intel Committee.
Speaker 1: It's a disgrace the lies that he has told. No
Speaker 1: wonder he won't come on the air. Piers Morgan has
Speaker 1: a devastating column out in the Daily Mail today, The
Speaker 1: Russia collusion hoax was a disgraceful fake news witch hunt.
Speaker 1: The chains all of Trump's deranged enemies in the media,
Speaker 1: the FBI, Hollywood and has probably insure their worst nightmare
Speaker 1: his reelection, and with his track record, he deserves it,
Speaker 1: but they've never reported on it. And then Shift now
Speaker 1: will say, well, Muller ignored incriminating evidence. No, he tried
Speaker 1: hard to nail Trump, gave it everything he had. James
Speaker 1: Comey will be among the first witnesses of Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 1: You're a barbera streisand said about oh, those kids were
Speaker 1: privileged to be around Michael Jackson and whatever his sexual
Speaker 1: needs are worth, these were children, Barbara Streisan, What is
Speaker 1: wrong with you? Diana Ross? This is insane and by
Speaker 1: the way we learned, it goes right to the top,
Speaker 1: and that means Lauretta Lynch. I want to know what
Speaker 1: she knew and when she knew it. I want to
Speaker 1: know what Susan Rice knew and when she knew it,
Speaker 1: and what Clapper knew, and what Brennan knew. And you
Speaker 1: know what else, I want to know what Barak Hussein
Speaker 1: Obama knew and when he knew. Jay Secular, Vice President Pence,
Speaker 1: George Popadopolis, I am pissed off. I had a lot
Speaker 1: of ground to cover today. Vice President Mike Pence will
Speaker 1: wag in on Muller's report and where we go from here. Also,
Speaker 1: Jay Seculo, between him and Rudy and that whole team,
Speaker 1: they've worked there. Literally they literally masterful in terms of
Speaker 1: protecting the office of the Presidency, the Constitution, the rule
Speaker 1: of law. You think that job was easy, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: And also, George Popidopolis, one person, one life impacted in
Speaker 1: a major way by all of this deep state abuse
Speaker 1: of power. All right, our two Sean Hannity Show, the
Speaker 1: Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence is coming up.
Speaker 1: George Popidopolis is stopping by. I was reading his book
Speaker 1: last night. Wow, just one person, small player, and you
Speaker 1: talk about having your life turned upside down, including twelve
Speaker 1: days in jail, which would, by the way, a miracle.
Speaker 1: At one point he says, you know what, I'm not
Speaker 1: taking this. I'm gonna I'm gonna not go to the
Speaker 1: twelve days. I'm like, no, go take your twelve days.
Speaker 1: I said. It may be two five years by the
Speaker 1: end of this. And I'm no lawyer, but I do
Speaker 1: have one of the greatest lawyers that I know, Jay Sekulo,
Speaker 1: is with us. He is the chief counsel at the
Speaker 1: American Center for Law and Justice. He is the counsel
Speaker 1: to the President. He has I know from personal knowledge.
Speaker 1: We've been friends a long time. I don't think he
Speaker 1: has slept more than three or four hours a day.
Speaker 1: Is this entire thing has gone on, And I know
Speaker 1: that you'll never get the credit you and your team
Speaker 1: and Rudy and everybody else. The amount of time, energy, effort,
Speaker 1: and detail that went into your case here had to
Speaker 1: at times be very hard. Well, Sean, First, it's been
Speaker 1: an unbelievable honor representing the President of the United States,
Speaker 1: and obviously we are very very excited with the way
Speaker 1: this has concluded. I think this is a great day.
Speaker 1: I think that the President said is right. This is
Speaker 1: America is the greatest country in the world, and this
Speaker 1: was a great day, and not only for our president,
Speaker 1: but also it was a great day for the country.
Speaker 1: And I just I'll tell you it's a humbling thing
Speaker 1: to represent a president of the United States, and that
Speaker 1: God's allowed me to have that opportunity is just something
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm thankful for every day. I will
Speaker 1: tell you this. This is This was a hard thought
Speaker 1: when it took almost two years, but the end result
Speaker 1: is pretty great. I've been I know I should feel
Speaker 1: the same way, and I know my audience has been
Speaker 1: saying because there's been two narratives in the country, there's
Speaker 1: been a handful of us, Greg and John and Sarah
Speaker 1: and my TV and my radio team and I Sidney Powell,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to mention everybody, but this has
Speaker 1: been a small small group of us that have been saying,
Speaker 1: this is the biggest abuse power scandal and you're missing
Speaker 1: the whole story and they got it wrong. To me, Jay,
Speaker 1: if we don't fix this mess so that no other
Speaker 1: election could be influenced this way or no president ever
Speaker 1: has to endure this level of unfairness and abuse of
Speaker 1: power by really the top intelligence, Department of Justice, even
Speaker 1: top FBI players. We're in deep trouble as a country.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm worried about. How we now correct us. Well,
Speaker 1: we got to find out how did we get here.
Speaker 1: What we know is that there were the spies of
Speaker 1: warrants which apparently were not supported, obviously not supported. Now
Speaker 1: there was also the Steel dossier, which was a trumped
Speaker 1: up fake document that was circulated within our intelligence community
Speaker 1: at the highest level, and that was wrong. And the
Speaker 1: fact is that the country paid a price for that.
Speaker 1: As the President said today, you cannot allow this to
Speaker 1: happen to another president in this regard. This I think
Speaker 1: was the prime example a I call it exhibit A
Speaker 1: of just a horrible not only corruption at the highest levels,
Speaker 1: but really, if you can't even if you start going
Speaker 1: over all the events that took place Strock and Page
Speaker 1: Bruce or and Ellyora and Fusion GPS with Christopher Steel,
Speaker 1: it's it's numbing. And I think in a sense we
Speaker 1: got a little numb to it. But look at the
Speaker 1: end result, we got a great result, and we can't be.
Speaker 1: I can't be more pleased. I am right now. Look
Speaker 1: I also, and I've said this publicly. I mean, you've
Speaker 1: represented me for many, many years, so I know how
Speaker 1: you work, and you're a very special individual to me
Speaker 1: and on a personal level, a mentor a friend in
Speaker 1: a very deep way. And you know as this as
Speaker 1: this report from Barr came out, the Special Counsel's investigation
Speaker 1: did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated
Speaker 1: with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in efforts to
Speaker 1: influence the twenty sixteen present sidential election. It cites the report,
Speaker 1: the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump
Speaker 1: campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its
Speaker 1: election interference activities, which is great. But there was Russian
Speaker 1: interference in the election, and Devin Nunez warned about it
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, and there was a phony Russian dossier
Speaker 1: that was leaked and disseminated to the American people, leaked
Speaker 1: to the press, and then of course it was according
Speaker 1: to Newness and the Grassly Graham memo, the bulk of
Speaker 1: the information used in a FIZE warrant to spy on
Speaker 1: an not only a campaign associate, but the whole campaign, right,
Speaker 1: So you had a counterintelligence operation that starts with bogus evidence,
Speaker 1: and the end result of that counterintelligence investigation is that
Speaker 1: we've spent millions of dollars, We've had people's lives turned
Speaker 1: upside down, literally turned upside down, and you're asking the
Speaker 1: white questions how to correct it. You got to find
Speaker 1: out where it happened, why it happened, and then figure
Speaker 1: out how to present it never happening again. Let me
Speaker 1: go through where in the obstruction of justice side of
Speaker 1: things that Bar points out, after making a thorough factual investigation,
Speaker 1: the special counselor consider whether to evaluate the conduct under
Speaker 1: department standards governing prosecution or declining decisions, and ultimately determined
Speaker 1: not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, and they therefore
Speaker 1: did not draw a conclusion one way or the other
Speaker 1: as to the examined conduct whether it constituted obstruction. Instead,
Speaker 1: for each relevant actions investigated, the report sets out evidence
Speaker 1: on both sides of the question, leaves unresolved what the
Speaker 1: Special Council views as difficult issues of law concerning the
Speaker 1: president in fact, and here's the question I have, And
Speaker 1: because then he goes on to say something very profound.
Speaker 1: It's that the Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, and I
Speaker 1: have concluded that the evidence developed, meaning what the Special
Speaker 1: Council had during the Special Council investigation, is not sufficient
Speaker 1: to establish that the President committed an obstruction of justice offense.
Speaker 1: Our determination was made without regard to it is not
Speaker 1: based on the constitutional considerations that surround indicting a sitting president. So,
Speaker 1: in other words, they looked at it and they said,
Speaker 1: we're prosecutors, no way. Well, here's what happened, So that
Speaker 1: someone in the Special Council's office developed the facts, and
Speaker 1: they developed a theory of law, and it was a
Speaker 1: theory of law, and the facts were what they called
Speaker 1: difficult questions of law and fact. When when you've got
Speaker 1: difficult questions of law and facts, you don't recommend criminal
Speaker 1: engagement or a criminal enforcement. Here they said that they're
Speaker 1: not accusing the president of criminal conduct, and then they
Speaker 1: have this line about it's also not an exoneration, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, is that's not really their job. The
Speaker 1: job is not to exonerates, either to bring a charge
Speaker 1: or not more to decline to bring a charge. But
Speaker 1: having said that, so what happened was they obviously internally
Speaker 1: could not come up within the Special Council's Office what
Speaker 1: this theory would be or whether it was viable. And
Speaker 1: because they worked for the Department of Justice, they are
Speaker 1: part of the Department of Justice, they did what was appropriate,
Speaker 1: which is have the Department of Justice review through the
Speaker 1: Office of Legal Counsel initially, and that looks like that
Speaker 1: was going on for a number of weeks, maybe months,
Speaker 1: these issues to determine whether there was any theory of
Speaker 1: obstruction that they thought would be applicable. The Office of
Speaker 1: Legal Counsel then, in consultation with the Deputy Attorney General's
Speaker 1: Office and the Attorney General in the United States, concluded
Speaker 1: that there was not well all, you know, again, obstruction
Speaker 1: would be if there was an underlying issue. Wouldn't there
Speaker 1: any declarative statement by the president about this being a
Speaker 1: witch hunt or unfair? Would be to me, the normal
Speaker 1: reaction of an innocent person. You know, it's very easy
Speaker 1: to criticize someone, except if you're the someone that's in
Speaker 1: the middle of this. And look, I mean, this turned
Speaker 1: a lot of people's upside down, and there was also
Speaker 1: a drain on the individuals that were engaged in this
Speaker 1: investigation as far as the people that were being looked at,
Speaker 1: but not only being looked at, the witnesses and everybody else.
Speaker 1: This was Remember how many witnesses went forward from the
Speaker 1: White House. This was unprecedented in US history. The end
Speaker 1: result of all of that, the end result of all
Speaker 1: of that is that the president has been vindicated, the
Speaker 1: country has been vindicated, and it's good news for America
Speaker 1: that nobody was engaged in any kind of coclusive activity.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm most worried about, Jay, and there's a
Speaker 1: long list. It is very clear the investigation into Hillary
Speaker 1: and the Espionage Act and obstruction was a rigged investigation.
Speaker 1: It's very clear that not only the primary, but there
Speaker 1: was an effort to rig a general election, spying on
Speaker 1: an opposition party in a presidential election year. The FIA
Speaker 1: and fraud of the fraud on the FISA by omission
Speaker 1: not telling the court who paid for the dossier, and
Speaker 1: fraud in representing that it was verified when we now
Speaker 1: know it's authored, can't verify it. So it was an
Speaker 1: unverifiable list of Russian lies that denies an American citizen
Speaker 1: due process and constitutional rights. That's Carter page that denies
Speaker 1: a free and fair election for the president and his supporters,
Speaker 1: and then afterwards using that phony Russian lies those documents,
Speaker 1: you know, in an attempted soft coup of a sitting
Speaker 1: president as an insurance policy. Is there anything I'm saying
Speaker 1: that's wrong. No, I mean, so all of that. I
Speaker 1: don't disagree with anything you said. And here's what happened.
Speaker 1: The justice system actually worked, and we should be very
Speaker 1: proud of the Americans, even though it took a long time,
Speaker 1: that the justice system ultimately prevailed here and justice was
Speaker 1: done at least as it relates to these issues. And
Speaker 1: I think it's it's really hard pressed after twenty eight
Speaker 1: hundred subpoenas, five hundred search warrants, fifty pens, which is
Speaker 1: the phone record, the phone things back and forth? Was
Speaker 1: it five hundred witnesses thirteen countries, and then Congress is
Speaker 1: saying they're going to now investigate Russian collusion and obstruction
Speaker 1: that's already been done. Well, I mean when you actually
Speaker 1: look at the list, I mean it's extensive, Jay, all
Speaker 1: right now, you know, I mean you look at Papadoppolis,
Speaker 1: you look at what happened with all these other people,
Speaker 1: and Congress now wants to do it again. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to go into strategies on that on the broadcast.
Speaker 1: I will just tell you that I think it's an
Speaker 1: unbelievable oval reach by the United States Congress, and I
Speaker 1: think it raises serious constitutional and statutory issues. That's all.
Speaker 1: Also well Bar's summary of the you know, if you
Speaker 1: really want to break it down, of the Special Council's investigation,
Speaker 1: twenty eight hundred subpoenas they executed, what only five hundred
Speaker 1: search awrence third team requests for foreign governments for evidence,
Speaker 1: interviews of five hundred witnesses. What did you know? Dowd
Speaker 1: and others turn over one point four million documents? Right? Exactly?
Speaker 1: How many hours did you know the Trump family and
Speaker 1: Jared Kushner and and all these people you know, have
Speaker 1: to hundreds of hours came out of the White House
Speaker 1: alone of the testimony, hundreds and hundreds of hours. What
Speaker 1: changes unprecedented quir There's never been cooperation like this in
Speaker 1: any any inquiry of a president like this, where there's
Speaker 1: been this kind of quie was the exact opposite of
Speaker 1: the Complainton case. I we got and we ended up
Speaker 1: with a much better result. I must say I was
Speaker 1: always dubious and very vocal about the team that Robert
Speaker 1: Muller put together, and I think there should have been
Speaker 1: done more expeditiously. And I thought it was a partisan
Speaker 1: team from Weissman to Genie Ray and everybody in between.
Speaker 1: And I've been very vocal about it. But I look
Speaker 1: back here and I'm wondering, you know, I wondered, did
Speaker 1: they not see the abuse of intelligence of power of
Speaker 1: the FISA courts, the FBI, Bruce or Nelly or James Comee, McCabe, Baker, Struck, Page, Yates.
Speaker 1: And now we learned from the testimony last week of
Speaker 1: Page and Struck that this went right into the office
Speaker 1: of Lauretta Lynch. Yeah. So the answer is this is inexplicable.
Speaker 1: The whole situation with or the Or family, the Jusian GPS,
Speaker 1: Struck and Struck and Page. You can't explain it that
Speaker 1: their phones were wiped clean. None of this is right.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, although painful as it
Speaker 1: was for a lot of people, justice as to the
Speaker 1: president was done. I think some of these people have
Speaker 1: had a very unfortunate turning upside down of their lives.
Speaker 1: And I think you know the human beings should feel
Speaker 1: compassion for other human beings. But my job was representing
Speaker 1: the president, and my team's job was representing the president,
Speaker 1: and we're very pleased with the outcome. Well, I will
Speaker 1: tell you because I know the personal told that you
Speaker 1: paid and the price you paid in the hours you
Speaker 1: committed to this, and I think that you did the
Speaker 1: country a great service. And I don't ever think you'll
Speaker 1: get the recognition you deserve. And that's for you and
Speaker 1: your entire team. Rudy, I'm I'm, I don't want to
Speaker 1: leave anybody out here, and UM, I'm glad that he
Speaker 1: did a great job, even John Dowd and Ty Cobb
Speaker 1: back in the beginning of this, Ye, Mark cass was
Speaker 1: like Bowie all the way back. I mean, there's been
Speaker 1: just just look, you know, I'm a man of faith.
Speaker 1: I believe that things don't happen by accident, and the
Speaker 1: right teams were in place at the right time, and
Speaker 1: the end result of this was a very good day
Speaker 1: for America and um, and we carried forward and that's
Speaker 1: what we do next. You know what we say next
Speaker 1: case you know, actually, one day I want people to
Speaker 1: hear you once told me you pray unceasingly. I want
Speaker 1: you to explain that I don't. I'm not a good
Speaker 1: I need to, but I don't. Um. Well, it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, it's really seth when you're doing something of
Speaker 1: this magnitude. If you think you could do this on
Speaker 1: your own and in your own power, I think you're
Speaker 1: eluding yourself. That's just that's I'm not commenting on anybody
Speaker 1: else's faith commitment, but for me, so praying without ceasing
Speaker 1: means when I'm thinking about it, when i'm I always
Speaker 1: ask God for wisdom. You know, it's it was good
Speaker 1: enough for the older New Testaments is good enough for me.
Speaker 1: All right, Jay Sekulo, thank you for what you've done
Speaker 1: for your country here. I appreciate it. We'll see you
Speaker 1: tonight on Hannity. Also Rudy Giuliani tonight, Also tonight New
Speaker 1: Gingrich the Great One, Mark Levin. I mean, we have
Speaker 1: a great show and a monologue that we're going forward.
Speaker 1: If we don't fix it, we lose the country. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one sewn. You want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program, will continue, all right. George
Speaker 1: Papadopoulos and his wife Simona gonna stop by Their book
Speaker 1: is so fascinating, and I've read it over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I've marked up a thousand different ways the deep state,
Speaker 1: deep state target. How I got caught in the crosshairs
Speaker 1: of the plot to bring down President Trump. It's sad
Speaker 1: what he went through. Now. I offered unsolicited advice to
Speaker 1: George when he was about to do his twelve days
Speaker 1: in prison. I'm gonna challenge this. I'm not. I'm like no.
Speaker 1: I said, if you withdraw your plea, you might spend
Speaker 1: five years in jail. I said, anybody can suck it
Speaker 1: up for twelve days. He actually describes the chicken wings
Speaker 1: on Wednesday with the best and that the prisoners respected
Speaker 1: him because they knew, like everyone else, he could sing
Speaker 1: or compose, and he didn't. He didn't. You can lie
Speaker 1: and get out of anything. Now, which has to change
Speaker 1: his wall. Does anybody in this panel right now have
Speaker 1: a sense of how this accumulation thing's gonna work. We're
Speaker 1: looking now at Paul Manafort, the chairman of the campaign,
Speaker 1: the chaircoun chairman of the convention of the whole campaign.
Speaker 1: We're looking at people like Jeram. Of course, there are
Speaker 1: people lesser players, like Papadopoulos, we're looking at Roger Stone
Speaker 1: probably on the list for the gay for the giant
Speaker 1: scene here. All these people go into prison for a
Speaker 1: significant amount of years looking ahead, and then the President
Speaker 1: I state, sit there is this a Rico situation, Barbara,
Speaker 1: And if the mastermind walks, as David thinks, anything's possible here,
Speaker 1: if the master mind walks where twenty people go away
Speaker 1: to prison for a hard time, I think history of
Speaker 1: a hard time figuring this maybe out? What are the
Speaker 1: outstanding questions? Your committee, the House Intelligence Committee, for example,
Speaker 1: will continue to investigate regardless of what the Mueller Report reveals. Well,
Speaker 1: either there are any number of examples that I could
Speaker 1: give you of the information that we've obtained our investigation,
Speaker 1: information that's become clear from the Special Council investigation that
Speaker 1: may not be neatly summed up in a decision or
Speaker 1: disclosure that we decided to indict a but not be
Speaker 1: If they're not answered, then we're going to have to
Speaker 1: answer them. We're gonna have to find the truth, all right,
Speaker 1: twenty five now till the top of the hour, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine for one, Sean told free telephone number.
Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program, what
Speaker 1: I've been saying all day is you know, I know
Speaker 1: a lot of you want to take a victory lab
Speaker 1: here today, and it is a great day in the
Speaker 1: end that Okay, we went through all of this, we
Speaker 1: got to the truth, and a part of me is glad.
Speaker 1: But it's how we handle what has happened moving forward
Speaker 1: that is all that's going to matter. If the media
Speaker 1: is allowed to continue these lies, this propaganda, this anonymous sourcing, hysteria,
Speaker 1: breathless coverage, their conspiracy theories, which I am predicting they
Speaker 1: will double down on, then we have a real information crisis,
Speaker 1: way beyond me telling you all in oh seven the
Speaker 1: journalism is dead. But more importantly is this that if
Speaker 1: these people with all of this power that we give them,
Speaker 1: that have abused this power in unprecedented ways, if we
Speaker 1: don't get to the bottom of Hillary Clinton, who did
Speaker 1: commit felonies getting a rigged in vestigation. George Poppadoppolis joins
Speaker 1: US Deep State target How I got caught in the
Speaker 1: crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He rightly has dedicated his book to his wife, Simona.
Speaker 1: They both joined us in studio. Good to see you both.
Speaker 1: How Are you doing great, John, Thanks for having us.
Speaker 1: First of all, I first met your wife. I mean,
Speaker 1: she was fierce. Everyone thinks, by the way, you're Russian.
Speaker 1: You're not Russian. Unfortunately too, I cannot disappoint the public.
Speaker 1: I'm and where you're from. I know what I'm from, Caserta.
Speaker 1: It's a tiny seat in near by Naples in the
Speaker 1: south of Italy. Okay, I have a tiny It's funny, right,
Speaker 1: everyone thinks your wife was Russian the whole time. Oh
Speaker 1: she's Russian. He's got a Russian wife. We have blonds
Speaker 1: over there. I'm not going anywhere near that comment. But
Speaker 1: I watched your wife come on my show and defend
Speaker 1: you with a passion that was wow. It was spectacular
Speaker 1: for you. In the end, I want you to give
Speaker 1: the overview. You got caught in all of this mess,
Speaker 1: and when you get to the truth about the professor,
Speaker 1: it was no reason for you to go through this ever,
Speaker 1: and if it can happen to you, and you were lucky.
Speaker 1: You only got twelve days in jail. And I talked
Speaker 1: to you before you went into prison, and I said, look,
Speaker 1: anyone can suck it up for twelve days. Easy for
Speaker 1: me to say I'm sure tell us how you got
Speaker 1: here and explained because you go into all the detail
Speaker 1: in your book. Yeah, so's it's a very complicated story
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna go against what the mainstream narrative has
Speaker 1: been for the last two years about me. And that's
Speaker 1: why I had to write this book, Deep State Target,
Speaker 1: because I finally had to speak with my own voice
Speaker 1: and describe my experiences from a personal standpoint. Obviously, my
Speaker 1: wife was my champion, and she was fierce in her
Speaker 1: way that she was trying to get my story out there.
Speaker 1: But because the story was so complicated, involved so many
Speaker 1: different countries, so many characters, a five minute or a
Speaker 1: ten minute interview wasn't going to allow it to be justified.
Speaker 1: So what I did was I wrote a book where
Speaker 1: I explained from A to Z how I got involved,
Speaker 1: not only with Ben Carson, but then with Trump, what
Speaker 1: my career trajectory was, what led me to get a
Speaker 1: target on me and all the foreign operatives and assets
Speaker 1: that were used to try and sabotage me, and by
Speaker 1: doing that, try to get to President Trump eventually. And
Speaker 1: basically what I do describe as a very very well
Speaker 1: orchestrated operation in which the British and the Australians were
Speaker 1: involved to try and working alongside the Obama Department of
Speaker 1: Justice to create these fake Russian assets intermediaries to make
Speaker 1: it look like Trump people and Trump campaign advisors or
Speaker 1: transition officials were working with Russians while at the whole
Speaker 1: time it was basically just a hoax. And this started
Speaker 1: with a professor in your particular case, and you just
Speaker 1: give the short version of it. Sure, so, there was
Speaker 1: a Multese professor who the FBI described as some sort
Speaker 1: of Russian agent, who one day in London told me
Speaker 1: that the Russians possess thousands of Hillary Clinton's emails. That
Speaker 1: was the narrative for two years. What my book explains
Speaker 1: is that this person was highly connected to both the
Speaker 1: British intelligence services, the CIA, and even the Italian intelligence services.
Speaker 1: He's currently being held in Italy under the protection of
Speaker 1: the Italian state. And I do hope that moving forward,
Speaker 1: President Trump and his administration gets more clarity from the
Speaker 1: various countries that were involved trying to undermine his candidacy
Speaker 1: and presidency. You know, and as I look at your
Speaker 1: story and I've followed it along the way, you know,
Speaker 1: it ends up with you meeting the Special Counsel, which
Speaker 1: you discussed bring us into that room that day. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So after I'm basically violently arrested at the airport coming
Speaker 1: back from a trip from Europe. I am rushed off
Speaker 1: a train, I have the FBI looking through my bags.
Speaker 1: I've never read my Miranda rights. And then I'm not
Speaker 1: told actually what I'm being arrested for, except I'm being
Speaker 1: tossed into a filthy cell with two in and there,
Speaker 1: and me not understanding what happened until the twenty five hours.
Speaker 1: For twenty five hours. The next day, I wake up,
Speaker 1: I'm sleeping with one eye opened the whole time, and
Speaker 1: I'm in front of a magistrate where the Special counsel
Speaker 1: is two hours late to that meeting, and they're telling
Speaker 1: me I'm looking at twenty five years in prison for
Speaker 1: some bizarre charges of lying to the FBI and obstruction
Speaker 1: of justice. The story gets a little more complicated because,
Speaker 1: as I explained in my book, what they were really
Speaker 1: after me for were my ties to Israel. This is
Speaker 1: something that's very shocking to many people because they really
Speaker 1: didn't understand what and how I actually got involved in
Speaker 1: presidential By the way, you first supported Ben Carson. You
Speaker 1: annoyed Korey Lewandowski you talk about in your book to
Speaker 1: Death exactly, and you kind of like get in the campaign,
Speaker 1: you meet the professor. Next thing you know, you're you know,
Speaker 1: you have a call with Sam Clovis, and that's what
Speaker 1: kind of brought you in deeper. Yeah. Absolutely, And basically
Speaker 1: some this target, all these various characters in London were
Speaker 1: just following me around. They had this pre planned. I mean,
Speaker 1: this was not they didn't wake up one day decide
Speaker 1: to takedown Trump. This is why Australian, Great Britain don't
Speaker 1: want the president giving out these materials. And they've been
Speaker 1: all over him. I believe not too. And you you're
Speaker 1: smiling because you know that's true. Absolutely. Where we go
Speaker 1: from here as an important question, let me just say,
Speaker 1: so you went to prison for twelve days, Simona. You
Speaker 1: went there and every single day you would go see him.
Speaker 1: For the twelve days, every single day I was allowed into.
Speaker 1: I was basically in this hotel, very simple hoteil, nearby
Speaker 1: his prison camp, and I could experience the support of
Speaker 1: the locals. They were outraged by this machinician. They follow
Speaker 1: my interviews on TV and they were sincerely empathetic with
Speaker 1: what was happening. Seeing George in jail was a defeat. Defeat.
Speaker 1: He didn't like his green uniform. It was very cute.
Speaker 1: It was very very cute. I guess you could hold hands,
Speaker 1: but that's probably the most they could do in jail. Well,
Speaker 1: I was saving and appropriately every time I tried to
Speaker 1: hug him, some of the officer was like, they're not
Speaker 1: allowed to. So it was it was very frustrating, but um,
Speaker 1: you know, seeing him here, what did it mean to
Speaker 1: have her there? Every day? She kept me alive. But
Speaker 1: the prisoners were nice to you. The prisoners chicken and
Speaker 1: Wednesday chicken wing it great. You're right about all those
Speaker 1: in the book. Ye I do. Look, I was fortunately
Speaker 1: in Trump country. We live in La now, so I'm
Speaker 1: very happy I wasn't designated to go to prison in
Speaker 1: California because I just don't know what would have been
Speaker 1: waiting for me. And it was minimum security. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean I spend most of my time reading newspapers
Speaker 1: in the morning, playing basketball, and if it was warm enough,
Speaker 1: we would have played softball outside where they have a stadium.
Speaker 1: So I mean, it wasn't what you see in the
Speaker 1: movies or anything like that. But still I missed my family.
Speaker 1: I felt there was an injustice. And even the inmates
Speaker 1: and prisoners, I mean and the guards themselves were basically
Speaker 1: telling me that this is a war going on against
Speaker 1: the president. You got caught up in it. Just keep
Speaker 1: your head up. But they also liked the fact that
Speaker 1: you know, for example, it's like in the case of
Speaker 1: mataphor it they want you to and describe Mueller in
Speaker 1: your interrogation. They want you to sing or compose, and
Speaker 1: they basically give you a script, don't they If you
Speaker 1: say this, we'll go easy on you. Basically, did that
Speaker 1: happen to you? That was gonna be my next point. Basically,
Speaker 1: what my entire interaction with the FBI and then Mueller
Speaker 1: for the entire year and a half was basically, who
Speaker 1: did I tell on the campaign about this stupid information
Speaker 1: that this guy in London told me? Because they were
Speaker 1: looking to make a conspiracy professor the professor, they knew
Speaker 1: who this person was. I explained in my book that
Speaker 1: the FBI knew exactly who this guy was. He wasn't
Speaker 1: a Russian. He was obviously working with the British and
Speaker 1: the American intelligence services. They wanted to use me to
Speaker 1: basically create this conspiracy, and they were gonna and my
Speaker 1: lawyers were pressuring me, tell them, tell them, tell them,
Speaker 1: they were saying, tell us, and you won't. Nothing will
Speaker 1: happen to you. I was never going to flip against
Speaker 1: the President because I would have rather gone to jail.
Speaker 1: When you say flip, you meant lie, yeah, yeah, lie lie,
Speaker 1: And they wanted you to lie. Basically, That's what my impression.
Speaker 1: I was in there for hours and hours having my
Speaker 1: head beat, but I wasn't going to lie. Quick break
Speaker 1: more with George Papadopoulos and his wife Simona putting it
Speaker 1: up on Hannity dot com. This is a must read book.
Speaker 1: This gives you, you know, just one player in this
Speaker 1: whole scheme of things and the pain, the suffering that
Speaker 1: they needlessly had to go through in our country with
Speaker 1: our system of justice, and it should never happen. It's
Speaker 1: called Deep State Target, How I got caught in the
Speaker 1: crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Trump. It's
Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores everywhere. Now.
Speaker 1: All right, as we continue, George Papadopolis and his wife
Speaker 1: Simona with us their brand new book. This is a
Speaker 1: fascinating read. You're gonna love it, including his time in prison,
Speaker 1: Deep State target, how I got caught in the crosshairs
Speaker 1: of the plot to bring down President Trump. Later this week,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have you both on TV. Obviously, I've got
Speaker 1: a lot of news to get to. But you also,
Speaker 1: I remember when your name came up. I was all
Speaker 1: around the Trump campaign. I never heard of George Popadoppa.
Speaker 1: I'm not being insulting to you, but I'm my huh,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, the president didn't know who you are.
Speaker 1: I don't nobody remembered you. Maybe Corey did. But what
Speaker 1: happened with they made this case about drinks without Australian
Speaker 1: diplomat Andrew um, what's his name? Downer? You know, so
Speaker 1: when you're brought in and Muller's people, how many people
Speaker 1: are in the room when they're interrogating you about Downer
Speaker 1: and about this professor? So that's a very good question. Actually,
Speaker 1: they weren't even interested in the professor. They wanted Downer.
Speaker 1: Actually they weren't even really interested in him either. They
Speaker 1: wanted Trump. They wanted Trump. They knew how many times
Speaker 1: had you met Trump? I met him once, Okay, in
Speaker 1: one meeting. Did you talk in that meeting? Yeah? Did
Speaker 1: you think he remembers you? Because I I don't think
Speaker 1: he does. I'm I'm there just doing my job at
Speaker 1: on the campaign. If he I don't know exactly, but
Speaker 1: what I was involved with, what the special counsel was.
Speaker 1: They were using these orchestrated events to make my situation
Speaker 1: larger than life, which were all fake and events. And
Speaker 1: look at how NBC News MSNBC covered the you and
Speaker 1: Downer and Clovis. They blew this up into the biggest
Speaker 1: thing in the drinks that you had together was the
Speaker 1: biggest conspiracy ever. But you know where it gets even
Speaker 1: more nefarious right now, Sean, I was one of four
Speaker 1: witnesses that was asset testify in front of the House
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, Papadopoulos, Lynch, Yates, and Komy. There's a reason
Speaker 1: I was one of only four witnesses invited because they
Speaker 1: know as well as I know, and as well as
Speaker 1: I always knew, that Alexander Downer was sent to spy
Speaker 1: on me and was working as an asset of Western intelligence,
Speaker 1: probably in coordination with the FBI, to try and sabotage
Speaker 1: a Trump campaign on behalf of his own vesset interests
Speaker 1: in the Clinton presidency and obviously with the dirt other words,
Speaker 1: they outsourced intelligence techniques that they can't do on their own. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it's been very clear. I mean, I don't want
Speaker 1: to talk for Carnerson Mark Meadows, but he's been recently
Speaker 1: tweeting a lot about me, about a lot of information
Speaker 1: in my file that I think is going to reveal
Speaker 1: a lot of this information that I've just been talking
Speaker 1: about openly, but they obviously approve to the classified stuff.
Speaker 1: What I'm gonna do is I just wanted to get
Speaker 1: you on today. It's obviously a huge newsday because you're
Speaker 1: one family that I've gotten to know, and I remember
Speaker 1: at one point you were going to give up your
Speaker 1: plea and I said, serve you twelve days. I offered
Speaker 1: it it unsolicited to you because I felt like, if
Speaker 1: you open that can of worms, what you might be
Speaker 1: doing two years and I did not want that for
Speaker 1: you and your family. But I'm going to invite you
Speaker 1: back here in the studio here all week, absolutely, and
Speaker 1: I we're gonna do a deeper die. But I want
Speaker 1: everyone to grab this book. It's on sale now Hannity
Speaker 1: dot Com, Amazon dot com, bookstores everywhere, Deep State Target.
Speaker 1: How I got caught in the crosshairs of the plot
Speaker 1: to bring down the president? George Papadopolis, how would you
Speaker 1: like to give up twelve days of your life? And
Speaker 1: it was only twelve because you wouldn't lie to people
Speaker 1: that wanted you to lie in their effort to bring
Speaker 1: down the president? Simona, you have been wonderful on behalf
Speaker 1: of your husband. It was an amazing display of strength
Speaker 1: and partnership. I applaud you as well. George. I've gotten
Speaker 1: to know you well and I think a lot about you.
Speaker 1: I know who you are, and everybody get those Amazon
Speaker 1: dot Com, Deep State Target. It is a fat This
Speaker 1: will be a movie. I want the movie rights. I

Speaker 1: I got to get back in shape like you are
Speaker 1: right now. Listen. I may not look like it, but
Speaker 1: I could really kill you. But I never would obviously,
Speaker 1: all right, quick break right back the Vice President of
Speaker 1: the United States, Mike Penson's next stay right here for
Speaker 1: our final news round up and information overload. Yesterday was
Speaker 1: a great day for our country, our president, and every
Speaker 1: American who cherishes the truth. After two years of investigation
Speaker 1: and reckless accusations by many Democrats and members of the media,
Speaker 1: the Special Council confirmed what President Trump said all along,
Speaker 1: there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia
Speaker 1: during the twenty sixteen election, and the Attorney General confirmed
Speaker 1: there was no obstruction of justice. Made no mistake about it,
Speaker 1: my fellow Americans. This was a total vindication the President
Speaker 1: of the United States and our campaign, and it should
Speaker 1: be welcomed by every American. And even if some Democrats
Speaker 1: want to spend more time on discredited allegations, the American
Speaker 1: people can be confident the President and I are going
Speaker 1: to continue to focus where we always have, on the
Speaker 1: issues that are most important to our country, on a
Speaker 1: stronger and more prosperous America and on a safer world.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what we've done since the first day
Speaker 1: of this administration. All Right, that was the Vice President
Speaker 1: of the United States just yesterday speaking out obviously about
Speaker 1: the things that we have now gone through, and as
Speaker 1: I have been saying the entire show and frankly the
Speaker 1: work that me and our ensemble cast, there have been
Speaker 1: two very distinct narratives that have been moving forward. We
Speaker 1: now know that the American people, the media, and they
Speaker 1: have not been held accountable all their lies for two
Speaker 1: plus years, all their conspiracy theories for two plus years,
Speaker 1: all of the misinformation for all of this time. But
Speaker 1: more importantly, those at the highest levels of power that
Speaker 1: abused that power, that rigged an investigation into one favored candidate,
Speaker 1: illegally unmasked American citizens, league raw intelligence about American citizens,
Speaker 1: weaponize the powerful tools of intelligence against the American people,
Speaker 1: abused the greatest trust that we could ever put in
Speaker 1: anybody in terms of as a country. If they're not
Speaker 1: held accountable, then America, as this great constitutional republic, the
Speaker 1: greatest country God has ever given man, will cease to exist.
Speaker 1: And we have in this case criminalized political differences on
Speaker 1: a level this country has never witnessed before. We either
Speaker 1: hold these people accountable or we will pay a price.
Speaker 1: Future presidents will endure the same type of attempt to
Speaker 1: rig an election first and then undo a duly elected
Speaker 1: president because they think they knew better. The Vice President
Speaker 1: of the United States, Mike Pence, is here with us.
Speaker 1: Mister Vice President, always an honor. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for being Willis Sean, Thanks for having me on. And
Speaker 1: today really is a great day for America. I said
Speaker 1: as much as a gather here in Washington, DC. But
Speaker 1: it's a great day for a country or for President Trump,
Speaker 1: for our administration. And let me just say, at the outset,
Speaker 1: when we saw in the midst of this two year investigation,
Speaker 1: reckless accusations not just by Democrats but by so many
Speaker 1: in the media, let me just say thank you to
Speaker 1: you for the way you stood strong for the facts.
Speaker 1: You stood strong with this administration, and all of us
Speaker 1: I know, from the President to meet and everyone in
Speaker 1: the administration are just we're grateful for your voice in
Speaker 1: the media. And it's great to be with you today,
Speaker 1: mister Vice President. We had prior to the report that
Speaker 1: came out yesterday. Thank you so much. I mean, it
Speaker 1: means a lot to me that you say that. But
Speaker 1: we had we had an FBI investigation that found no collusion.
Speaker 1: We had two congressional investigations that found no collusion, and
Speaker 1: yet they pursued this with almost a psychotic rage and
Speaker 1: an unwillingness to accept the results of the election. What
Speaker 1: do you think needs to be fixed so this could
Speaker 1: never happen again? Well, I think I think there's a
Speaker 1: that's a conversation that everyone needs to have it. I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you, If if your colleagues in the
Speaker 1: national media aren't doing a lot of soul searching today,
Speaker 1: they should start right now. As the Vice president, I
Speaker 1: don't believe that's going to happen. There's no indication. Look, look,
Speaker 1: this is a day that the the Muller Report, the
Speaker 1: Attorney General's report to the Congress and to the American people,
Speaker 1: found that literally here's two years investigation, nineteen lawyers, more
Speaker 1: than five hundred witnesses, twenty five million dollars that the
Speaker 1: Special Counsel confirmed what President Trump said all along, there
Speaker 1: was no collusion between our campaign and Russia during the
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election, and the Attorney General confirmed there was
Speaker 1: no obstruction of justice. It is a total vindication of
Speaker 1: the president of our campaign administration. But it should be
Speaker 1: welcomed by every American and it should it should drive
Speaker 1: you know, the leadership on the air and off the air,
Speaker 1: and networks around the country and newspapers around the country
Speaker 1: to take a step back and think about what they did.
Speaker 1: I was looking at some numbers here about the number
Speaker 1: of stories that ran on the Muller investigation since September.
Speaker 1: It was literally in the thousands. And you saw, you know,
Speaker 1: Karen and I when we settle in for the evening,
Speaker 1: we turn on the TV and fire up the TVO
Speaker 1: and we always catch the opening monologue of year show.
Speaker 1: And it was just, to be honest with you, Sean,
Speaker 1: it was an oasis in a sea of acrimony in
Speaker 1: the national media. And now that these allegations have been discredited,
Speaker 1: it's time for the national media to take a step
Speaker 1: back and to ask themselves why they were so quick
Speaker 1: to assume the worst about this president, our administration, our campaign.
Speaker 1: I mean, the American people deserve better. I mean what
Speaker 1: the national media and the Democrats put this country through
Speaker 1: in the last two years should invite a reckoning in
Speaker 1: the national press. And for the Democrats say, look, let
Speaker 1: me very clear, you look at what and no one
Speaker 1: does a better job listing the accomplishments of this President
Speaker 1: and this administration better than you on the airways. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just tell the truth. Yeah, it's not that hard. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: this president said we're going to rebuild our military, largest
Speaker 1: investments in our national defense since the days of Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1: Our economy is roaring through tax cuts, deregulation, the unleashing
Speaker 1: American energy, has a record number of conservatives appointed to
Speaker 1: our federal courts. America's standing tall in the world again.
Speaker 1: We're seeing we're seeing long term challenges on the foreign
Speaker 1: stage all of a sudden begin to open up the
Speaker 1: possibility of peace and resolution. All that is a testament
Speaker 1: to what the President has been able to do over
Speaker 1: the last two years. Despite the fact that so many
Speaker 1: in the national media President company accepted Sehn largely ignored
Speaker 1: what this administration was accomplishing for the American people. Five
Speaker 1: point three million new jobs created, wages rising at the
Speaker 1: fastest pace in more than ten years, and including the
Speaker 1: wages are rising most rapidly among blue collar Americans. Forgotten
Speaker 1: men and women of America are forgotten no more. There's
Speaker 1: an incredible story of success of this administration. And what
Speaker 1: I want your listeners to know is that now the
Speaker 1: mular report is published, the Justice Department has made drawn
Speaker 1: their conclusions and release them to the public. Isn't that
Speaker 1: we're going to start focus. We're going to keep doing
Speaker 1: what President Trump and I in this administration have been
Speaker 1: doing since the first day of this administration. We're going
Speaker 1: to keep looking for ways to make America more safe,
Speaker 1: more secure, more prosperous for every American. And if the
Speaker 1: Democrats ask more time on discredited allegations, if the media
Speaker 1: wants to continue to run down this same pathway, look,
Speaker 1: I think the American people know better. The American people
Speaker 1: are gonna, They're gonna they're gonna welcome this President's a
Speaker 1: determination to continue doing what we've done since day one.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, mister Vice President. It is a
Speaker 1: historic day that the truth came out here. But I
Speaker 1: am very concerned about the following because if we don't
Speaker 1: put in place checks and balances so this could never
Speaker 1: happen again in America. You know, when you think about
Speaker 1: you know, everybody from the Attorney General of the United States,
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch and an FBI director, you know, rigging an
Speaker 1: investigation into Hillary Clinton because they favored her as the
Speaker 1: primary was rigged spying on an opposition party during a
Speaker 1: presidential election year, by committing a fraud in multiple ways
Speaker 1: on the Five Court by omission, by not telling the
Speaker 1: court who paid for the dossier, and representing that the
Speaker 1: dossier was true when we now know it's unverifiable. It's
Speaker 1: author doesn't stand by it, Denying an American citizen carter
Speaker 1: page due process, denying a free and fair election to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his supporters because they were leaking this
Speaker 1: information of the press and literally using that to bludgeon
Speaker 1: a president for two plus years. You know, James Comy
Speaker 1: signed off on the dossier APPLICAFIES application in October twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: and in January twenty seventeen, President elect Trump was told
Speaker 1: to Trump Tower, it's it's not verified, but sealacious. He
Speaker 1: said the opposite three months earlier to the court. How
Speaker 1: do we what should we do going forward to hold
Speaker 1: everybody accountable. Well, the first thing we've done is install
Speaker 1: the kind of leadership an Attorney General Bill Barr renewed
Speaker 1: leadership at the FBI. We've moved out these bad actors,
Speaker 1: including Jim Comey or from the FBI. But look to
Speaker 1: your point, the American people have a right to know,
Speaker 1: and we welcome Senator Graham's call for further investigations into
Speaker 1: into what took place at the FBI. Look, you know
Speaker 1: a lot of FBI agents. I travel the country and
Speaker 1: with FBI agents. The rank and file of the FBI
Speaker 1: are men and women of tremendous courage, tremendous commitment to
Speaker 1: law and order into the American people. But at the
Speaker 1: top of the FBI, what we've seen you revealed over
Speaker 1: the last two years is deeply troubling to the American people.
Speaker 1: And it's and now that the Muller investigation is completed,
Speaker 1: now that the American people have the answers to the
Speaker 1: questions that were raised out infinitem in the national media
Speaker 1: and by our political critics, we ought to. We ought to,
Speaker 1: we ought to take the same energy to ask what
Speaker 1: happened at the FBI and why did it happen? Into
Speaker 1: your point, ensure that it never takes place again. Just
Speaker 1: to have seen individuals at the FBI at the highest level,
Speaker 1: as He's congressional investigations have revealed, and engaging in partisan
Speaker 1: activities and casting aside their their solemn obligation to be
Speaker 1: to be officers of the law at There needs to
Speaker 1: be an accounting, There needs to be a reckoning. But
Speaker 1: I want, I want to assure all of your listeners
Speaker 1: the new leadership the Justice Department, the leadership that we've
Speaker 1: installed the Federal Bureau of Investigation over the last year.
Speaker 1: It's a new day at the FBI. It's a new
Speaker 1: day at the Justice Department under Attorney General Bill Barr.
Speaker 1: But we have to find we have to get answers,
Speaker 1: and we're going to work with members of Congress to
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of what happened and make sure
Speaker 1: it never happens again. You know, I received a gift
Speaker 1: last night from a friend of mine that is in
Speaker 1: the FBI, and he gave it to me last night
Speaker 1: for a reason because he said, he goes, you have
Speaker 1: no idea, and I think they are the world's premier
Speaker 1: law enforcement agency. And I have a family that is
Speaker 1: they are. They absolutely are. And I always said, sir
Speaker 1: every night, this is not rank and file, This is
Speaker 1: not rank and file. Look, my mom was a prison guard,
Speaker 1: my dad worked in family court probation. I had a
Speaker 1: million cops in my family, and two guys were deity
Speaker 1: that made it to the FBI. And he said, thank
Speaker 1: you for sticking up for those of us that have
Speaker 1: been aghast at what we have uncovered here. And we
Speaker 1: need to get this right because he's heard me say,
Speaker 1: and I believe it, that the FBI is the world's
Speaker 1: premier law enforcement agency and it must regain that and
Speaker 1: the checks and balances must be put in place. Do
Speaker 1: you agree with that? I absolutely do, Sean. We have
Speaker 1: an obligation to get to the bottom of what happened
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen for precisely the reasons that you just
Speaker 1: eloquently describe. It is in keeping faith. It's in keeping
Speaker 1: faith with the rich tradition and the men and women
Speaker 1: of the FBI who every day put their lives on
Speaker 1: the line. But look, I mean, we've got we've got
Speaker 1: a director, and Christopher Ray is a man of integrity,
Speaker 1: and his quiet strength has been reflected since the first
Speaker 1: day that he was confirmed with that position. We have
Speaker 1: an Attorney General in Bill Barr, who again, you know,
Speaker 1: show the respect that he commands across the spectrum of
Speaker 1: justice and law enforcement in producing that public report yesterday.
Speaker 1: We have taken steps, at the President's direction and by
Speaker 1: his decisions, to restore the credibility the Justice Department and
Speaker 1: the FBI. But to ensure this never happens again. Now
Speaker 1: is the time for us to This investigation is now
Speaker 1: over by Robert Muller. Now is the time for us to,
Speaker 1: with renewed vigor, look back, give the American people the
Speaker 1: answers to what happened in twenty sixteen at the highest
Speaker 1: level of the Justice Department. The American people deserve nothing less,
Speaker 1: you know, mister Vice President Vice President pencils with us.
Speaker 1: People often ask me, because I've known President Trump way
Speaker 1: before he ever thought about running for president, I've known
Speaker 1: him for well over two decades, and people ask me
Speaker 1: all the time, well, what's he really like? And it's
Speaker 1: funny because my friends have other friends that they say, well,
Speaker 1: what's Hannity really like? A jerk? Right? And I'm and
Speaker 1: I But the word I used to describe him more
Speaker 1: than any other is he is unrelenting, tenacious, and fearless.
Speaker 1: And I have spoken to him, interviewed him enough in
Speaker 1: this process to know that the amount of pressure that
Speaker 1: this had to put on his presidency, he never showed it.
Speaker 1: He just kept working. He kept his head down. I mean,
Speaker 1: he'd fight back, but you know, when he's fighting for
Speaker 1: better trade deals and lower taxes, in a border wall
Speaker 1: to protect us. He's fighting on our behalf. And when
Speaker 1: he fights other people, it's like, I don't expect him
Speaker 1: to be any different in life, but I've seen I've
Speaker 1: never he has a quality that I have seen him
Speaker 1: very few people that he doesn't allow things like this
Speaker 1: that I think might have overwhelmed others to consume him.
Speaker 1: He just kept going. No truer words have ever been spoken.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm with the president almost every day when
Speaker 1: we're both in Washington, DC. We'll spend hours together every day.
Speaker 1: And look, literally, since the outset of this administration, the
Speaker 1: reckless allegations of collusion in the twenty sixteen campaign and
Speaker 1: then an obstruction of justice swirled around in the national media.
Speaker 1: But I got to tell you every single day when
Speaker 1: I walked into the Oval Office in the morning for
Speaker 1: the first meeting of the day, this president was focused
Speaker 1: on the issues most important to the American people. Focused
Speaker 1: on providing for the common defense, rebuilding our military, focused
Speaker 1: on border security and confronting the crisis of illegal immigration.
Speaker 1: Focused on getting this economy that had been that had
Speaker 1: been lackluster growth for years roaring again, and now it's
Speaker 1: working for Americans. The American dream is roaring back, making
Speaker 1: sure that we have conservatives appointed to our courts at
Speaker 1: every level. And then we bid farewell to Prime Minister
Speaker 1: b B Net and Yahoo from from the west winging
Speaker 1: of the White House here at a state visit. He's
Speaker 1: on his way back to Israel in the wake of
Speaker 1: the terrible rocket attacks that injured seven outside Tel Aviv.
Speaker 1: This president has engaged the world consistently and has been
Speaker 1: changing the paradigm in so many areas of the world,
Speaker 1: whether it be Asia Pacific with the negotiations we have
Speaker 1: underway with China, whether whether it be a new alignment
Speaker 1: across the wider Arab world, whether it be North Korea,
Speaker 1: no more missile tests, no rockets, no nuclear testing, the
Speaker 1: hostages our home and Chairman Kim is at the table
Speaker 1: in one area after another, including in our hemisphere, and
Speaker 1: what we're seeing as freedom is erupting all across. Then,
Speaker 1: as this president never taken his eye off the ball,
Speaker 1: he stayed focused right worthy American people elected to focus,
Speaker 1: and that is making America safe again, making America prosperous again.
Speaker 1: And we're going to keep on every day under his
Speaker 1: leadership working to make America great again. Well, I want
Speaker 1: to say this too, mister Vice President. You know, I've
Speaker 1: always viewed BB as a you know, up until President
Speaker 1: Trump got on the scene, as a Trichillian figure with
Speaker 1: moral clarity and understanding of the evil and our time
Speaker 1: and the challenges in our time, he stood alone. But
Speaker 1: with President Trump, I think there's been an emerging partnership
Speaker 1: in moving Jerusalem from Tel Aviv to be tel Aviv
Speaker 1: to Jerusalem the Capitol, and more recently rightly saying the
Speaker 1: goal on heights as Israel's. But you too, Look, I've
Speaker 1: known all of you, BB, the President, and I've known
Speaker 1: you for over two decades, and I know you never
Speaker 1: want the credit, but I know the relationship behind the
Speaker 1: scenes and that you're there every step of the way.
Speaker 1: And you know, the economic success and the success that
Speaker 1: we've had in making the country safer wouldn't happen without
Speaker 1: you and your strong contributions and unending support of the
Speaker 1: President and the country. And we thank you for all
Speaker 1: of that too. And today is a big day, but
Speaker 1: it's also for me very sobering. I never thought this
Speaker 1: could happen to our country, sir, never believe this possible,
Speaker 1: and thankfully we're on the other side of it. But
Speaker 1: I feel a very strong urgency that we need to
Speaker 1: fix it so it never happens again. We couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1: And you know I'll end where I begin, Sean. Today's
Speaker 1: a great day for America, for President Trump, for our
Speaker 1: entire administration, and it really should be welcomed by every
Speaker 1: American of churis as the truth, mister Vice presidentegrity of
Speaker 1: our elections. Thank you for being a voice for truth
Speaker 1: on the airways of America. Sean. We couldn't be more grateful.
Speaker 1: And there's nobody that's had more moral clarity on life
Speaker 1: than you. You are a great example to all of us.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir for being with us. We appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sean. Thank you, mister Vice Resident. Amazing Hannity
Speaker 1: Tonight at nine, Remember Rudy Giuliani, Jay Sekulo. We are
Speaker 1: loaded up with the best guest, best analysis, and I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna put together the best monologue I think
Speaker 1: I can ever do. Newke Ingridge, Mark Levinland'sy Graham Meadows
Speaker 1: and Jordan. You know, without these people, we wouldn't be
Speaker 1: here today. And the fact is we were right the
Speaker 1: whole time. But I will say this, and I mentioned
Speaker 1: it earlier in the program, the media is hopeless in
Speaker 1: this country. That's why I declared them dead so long ago.
Speaker 1: They won't retract, they won't apologize, They're never gonna learn
Speaker 1: from this. Where is their retraction? Where are their apologies
Speaker 1: for all? They're no source, anonymous source, hysteria and insanity?
Speaker 1: It just where are they? How did they just now move? Well,
Speaker 1: let's move to the Southern District investigation. Let's move to
Speaker 1: a new investigation. Let's look into Donald Trump and what
Speaker 1: he might have done back in high school. Like Mitt
Speaker 1: Romney cuts some kids hair, did Donald Trump cut it
Speaker 1: kids hair as part of a prank? The problem is,
Speaker 1: it's not funny when you are abusing the trust and
Speaker 1: power of the people you know and taking advantage they
Speaker 1: expect you to be honest and truthful. It never veted
Speaker 1: Obama back in oh seven and eight, they literally were
Speaker 1: fawning over him. It never told you eight years after
Speaker 1: that his record was a failure. Why do you think
Speaker 1: Nicolas Sandman and the Coming and Kids were such a
Speaker 1: big story because they used of sixteen year old to
Speaker 1: bludgeon Trump? Why did Jeff what's his names? Uh, Smullett,
Speaker 1: that guy's name, Remember Jesse Smullett. Why Jesse Smollett, Why
Speaker 1: in his particular case did they want to believe him
Speaker 1: so bad? All started with Richard Jewel. You've hurt the
Speaker 1: wrong about all of these cases, wrong, about the Cambridge police. Wrong,
Speaker 1: and what happened in Ferguson, Missouri as a result. What
Speaker 1: happens when they build up expectation of results that are
Speaker 1: never coming, like Baltimore or Trey Vaughan and George Zimmerman.
Speaker 1: You know what happens to young kids when they rushed
Speaker 1: to judgment, deny due process and the presumption of innocence
Speaker 1: to Duke Lacrosse kids, or to Justice Cavanaugh, or to
Speaker 1: Robert Borke or to Clarence Thomas. These generations of failure
Speaker 1: that is allowed to continue. You know, the very media
Speaker 1: that laughed at the idea that Donald Trump because it
Speaker 1: would ever run, run, Donald run, they said, never taken
Speaker 1: the time to ever cover the president's accomplishments because that
Speaker 1: goes against their political narrative. That's why they fell for
Speaker 1: every lie, every you know, an anonymous source. That's why
Speaker 1: they were breathlessly reporting every second minute hour of every
Speaker 1: single day. What they did, ignoring what would get them
Speaker 1: pullets or prizes in their cases, the biggest abuse of
Speaker 1: power corruption scandal in American history. You know, the media
Speaker 1: and the extreme radical socialist Democrats, they are one entity.
Speaker 1: It's like two shall become one, the spiritual manifestation of
Speaker 1: God joining two people. They shall be one. You know,
Speaker 1: I am my father are one. The Bible says, you know, well, okay,
Speaker 1: the media and the extreme radical democratic socialists they are one.
Speaker 1: You know, remember when they said the it's manufactured. They
Speaker 1: all say the same word. They're one entity. You know
Speaker 1: who they're not serving you? We the people. Listen to this.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if, for example, this week, on Friday,
Speaker 1: he is going to be delivering what I think are
Speaker 1: going to be his indictments, the final indictments. I would
Speaker 1: not be surprised if there were a number of indictments
Speaker 1: that's still going to come down the pike. I takeaway
Speaker 1: is there's a very real prospect that he may be
Speaker 1: the first president in quite some time to face the
Speaker 1: real prospect of jail time. Do you agree with Congressman
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff, who is going to be the chairman of
Speaker 1: the House Intelligence Committee. That President Trump could be indicted
Speaker 1: and possibly faced jail time after he leaves office. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I think he can be looked at and perhaps even
Speaker 1: charge with obstruction of justice. This is evidence of willingness
Speaker 1: to commit collusion. This BuzzFeed news report is true, then
Speaker 1: we are likely on our way to possible impeachment proceedings.
Speaker 1: If this story is true, we must begin impeachment proceedings.
Speaker 1: This is suborting perjury. I think there's no question it's
Speaker 1: an impeachable offense. Man at that point, we are in
Speaker 1: high crimes at misdemeanor, and we are in impeachment. Impeachment
Speaker 1: is the remedy. I mean, the president can't the only remedy.
Speaker 1: The spirit of what Trump did is clearly treasonist. This
Speaker 1: is moving into perjury, false statements, and even in a
Speaker 1: potentially treason, there's outright treason. I mean, there is no question.
Speaker 1: I think he's feeling the news around his neck. The
Speaker 1: news is tightening, and I think they're shocked that the
Speaker 1: news is tightened. He feels the news is tightening, tightening,
Speaker 1: the sound of hoof beats of all those investigations catching
Speaker 1: up with Donald Trump must be loud in his ears.
Speaker 1: Do you can get the end of the day. If
Speaker 1: Trump chooses the country over his own family, is that
Speaker 1: a good thing or would you rather him vice versa. Well,
Speaker 1: I think they're all going to end up together in prison,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's all right. That's your media, that is
Speaker 1: your Democratic Party. They are one, and they are corrupt
Speaker 1: and dishonest, and they have betrayed the American people on
Speaker 1: a level, on a scale that is so spectacularly dangerous
Speaker 1: if we want to remain the Democratic Republic. We are
Speaker 1: all right, Let's get to our busy phones here, all right, Rod,
Speaker 1: We really haven't been covering those. But yes, Michael Avanani
Speaker 1: has been indicted, I guess what, for trying to extort
Speaker 1: money from Nike. And he's also good tax evasion. He's
Speaker 1: filed taxes, fake taxes for years he didn't even actually file. Also,
Speaker 1: he filed fake paperwork. You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: surprise everybody again. I don't take any pleasure or joy
Speaker 1: and people going to jail and having their lives wrecked
Speaker 1: and ruined. It's just sad, the whole, you know, the
Speaker 1: whole sordid. You know, Michael Avenati nonsense is ridiculous, rodding California.
Speaker 1: Thanks for checking in, Thanks for your patience, Sean Hannity.
Speaker 1: You are a great American and on behalf of all
Speaker 1: conservatives on the West Coast. I want to think not
Speaker 1: only you, but your entired team for keeping your faith
Speaker 1: through this entire debacle. And I think it is just precious,
Speaker 1: precious that the first indictment that comes down after the
Speaker 1: Muller report comes out is from the biggest critic that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has had in the last two years, and
Speaker 1: that is Michael Avenatti. I think it is just awesome
Speaker 1: the fact that he is just filth and what do
Speaker 1: they say, Things that happen in the dark will eventually
Speaker 1: have the light shown on them. And the light is
Speaker 1: glaring brightly on mister Avianati today, and I am just
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm spiking the football and I'm taking I'm
Speaker 1: taking glory and the fact that he is the first
Speaker 1: of the dominoes to start falling because Donald Trump keeps
Speaker 1: winning and the people that keep attacking him will continue
Speaker 1: to lose. I honestly, look, a lot of my friends
Speaker 1: want me to spike the football, and I've been saying
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's because I've been so immersed
Speaker 1: in this rod for all these years and all that
Speaker 1: I know that has been done, and I feel like
Speaker 1: me and this ensemble cast that I keep telling you
Speaker 1: about that has been such a big part of making
Speaker 1: you know, there were two narratives running in America, and
Speaker 1: there was you know, a very small group of us
Speaker 1: were on one side that had real evidence and that
Speaker 1: kept pounding and pounding away at the truth, and another
Speaker 1: side the ninety nine percent that were wrong. And we
Speaker 1: knew they were wrong the whole time, you know, And
Speaker 1: maybe I'm supposed to, maybe I should feel good that
Speaker 1: we were right, but I feel like if we don't
Speaker 1: get it right, I just think the long term damage
Speaker 1: and ramifications for this country are so severe you can't recover.
Speaker 1: We better get the checks and balances correct in this country.
Speaker 1: It is you know, when you give power to these
Speaker 1: high individual the upper echelon, FIDJ, the Intel community, and
Speaker 1: they use it as a weapon against the American people,
Speaker 1: and they think that we smelly Walmart, you know, shoppers,
Speaker 1: the irredeemable deplorables that cling to our God, our guns,
Speaker 1: our Bibles are religion, and they turn because they're smarter
Speaker 1: than us, and they rig an investigation, They for the
Speaker 1: favored candidate, try to rig an election, and then when
Speaker 1: it's when it doesn't come out their way, then they
Speaker 1: try to undo the will of the people. That is
Speaker 1: exactly what has happened here, and we've been saying it
Speaker 1: with evidence for a long time, and now it's time
Speaker 1: to get it right. Eight hundred and nine four. Thank
Speaker 1: you for the call, Rod eight hundred ninety four one,
Speaker 1: Sean Tolfrey telephone number. You want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program that's gonna wrap things up at today?
Speaker 1: All right, I don't miss two night's monologue on TV.
Speaker 1: We have got to now step up and handle all
Speaker 1: that needs to be handled, or we're gonna lose the country.
Speaker 1: Jay Seculo, Rudy Giuliani, Nuke Gingrich, the Great One, Mark Levin, Tonight,
Speaker 1: Senator Lindsey Graham, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, all of who
Speaker 1: played a huge role in helping us get to the truth.
Speaker 1: And by the way, our team of those that have
Speaker 1: helped us will be on radio and TV tomorrow, you know,
Speaker 1: the great Jarretts and everybody else. John Solomon's of the world.
Speaker 1: That's nineties during Tonight Hannity on Fox, see then back
Speaker 1: here Tomorrow
