WEBVTT - Epstein Files Released - February 27th, Hour 1 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:02.520 All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:04.280 of you for being with us. Right down our toll 0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:06.120 free telephone number if you want to be a part 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:09.080 of the program. As always, there is plenty of news 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.200 that is going on. We'll get to some of this 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:18.800 layer an incredible Oval Office presser with Keir Starmer, who 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:23.400 is the British Prime Minister and President Trump and covering 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.480 a wide variety of topics. 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:26.440 It was so good. 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:27.840 I think we're going to play a lot of it 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.400 coming up later in the show. We just have so 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.479 much news that is breaking today now. I want to 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:39.360 be very clear as we begin. I guess phase one, 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.440 if you will, or part one of the Epstein files 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.560 are now. They're out there and are being released. I've 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:51.800 had a conversation with Marshall Blackburn, and Marshall Blackburn has 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.200 been one of the loudest voices of people that have 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.720 been looking for these files to be opened. She's been 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.400 very critical of the FBI. I apparently the FBI has 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:08.160 video footage and IRS records, and she believes the FBI 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.240 is thwarted again. The FBI under Biden and Harris, the 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.280 effort to be transparent and the saddest part of this 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.559 is these files today reveal two hundred and fifty four 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.120 what they believe to be two hundred and fifty four 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:29.640 victims quote messuses, some of them they believe underage, and 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:34.600 those names will be redacted obviously and rightly. So now 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.240 we have known a lot about names that have been 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.080 mentioned and people that have been associated with Epstein for 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.880 a long time, like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew. 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.760 You know, remember President Trump. Yeah, there's a picture of 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.240 President Trump from years and years ago with Epstein. But 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.720 when he became a member of mar A Lago and 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.320 he found out how he was treating people, he threw 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.960 him out of the club, uh and and wanted nothing 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.559 to do with him. This guy seems on every level 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.680 to have been somebody that wants to be around wealthy 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.000 and famous people. And so I think it's very important 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.840 that you understand that what Pam Bondi is doing, she's 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.720 releasing flight logs, a lot of names, et cetera. And 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.360 basically this will will be a first step in terms 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.639 of creating a roadmap where law enforcement and includes law 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:34.839 enforcement notes as well as my understanding, so that they 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.560 can take this and find out how deep this, this 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:43.240 this whole corrupt you know, sex trafficking scandal goes, and 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.080 who might be involved and who may not be involved. 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.600 And when you hear you know names, you know you've 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.959 got to Also. One of the things that I think 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.760 has been signature in the show, and I kind of 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.880 said this in this media interview that I did, is 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.320 on this show, we don't rush to judgment. Just because 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:05.320 somebody flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane does not mean that 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.120 they're guilty of anything. The only thing I would argue, 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.760 and everybody is presumed innocent, you don't rush to judgment. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.280 We're not going to do that here. However, the good 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.320 news is with the release of names, I would like 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.840 to think that if the people whose names, some of 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.320 which I will mention to you that you know again, 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.080 you give them the presumption of innocence, I hope they 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.280 will be cooperative with the FBI and with Attorney General 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:37.840 Pam Bondi and give up whatever information that they have. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.240 It is I think it is critical, especially when you're 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:47.240 talking about victims and underage victims, and the numbers that 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.440 we're talking about now sex trafficking is one hundred and 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:55.440 fifty billion dollars a year business. There are that many sick, ugly, evil, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.560 twisted people in the world. So I think that everybody 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:04.600 that that maybe Epstein worked his way into their world 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:09.200 are guilty. I do not, but you know, I think 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.320 they do owe it to the end. They don't know 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.040 what to the public if they don't want to. I know, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.640 if it was me, I would want it out there 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.039 and say, the guy said he was flying the same 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.320 place I was flying, so I took a ride and 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:23.360 I was playing big deal. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:24.920 That would not be a big deal. 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.800 But you know, I noticed that Mayor Bloomberg's name is 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.880 in today's first file. Do I think Mayor Bloomberg is 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.320 was involved with Epstein? I have no way of knowing. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.040 My gut tells me no. I have no idea. Or 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:49.320 Ellie Wizzelle or Naomi Campbell or Angie Dickinson or Alec Baldwin, 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.240 They're all presumed innocent, and everybody needs to understand that. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.080 I think people expected today, you know, big big bombshells. 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.920 The New York Post put out earlier today that they're 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.080 really aren't big bombshells here. But what we are learning 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.599 is the extent. I mean, you had former President Clinton, 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:12.200 Bill Gates, Prince Andrew who his career ended up ending 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:17.360 in disgrace, and some other people and all of this information. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.400 Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of it. We never got 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.160 to the bottom. This is phase one and there's going 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.520 to be other phases and other information that will be 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:29.000 public and over time, hopefully a full picture will emerge, 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.720 and hopefully those people that have had contact with him, 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:38.440 and that contact now in full transparencies being released. Hopefully 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.279 many of them that were not and never would have 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.560 been involved in anything like this can cooperate. It is 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.719 obvious that this guy, there is a word for that, Linda, 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.479 but you can't say it on TV. This guy love 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.320 to be around rich and famous people. There's no doubt 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.520 about that part. But the idea that it's that extensive 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.599 should scare everybody, and anybody with a heart and a 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:04.239 soul I think would want to be helpful in getting 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.640 to the bottom of what they knew, when they knew it, 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.320 what they saw, you know, at any point where they 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.000 ever alarmed, And hopefully and then I'd like to know 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.360 what happened, you know, with this suicide when he hung 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.160 himself from a bed that was low to the ground 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.640 and the cameras just happened to be not working that day, 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.880 and the prison guards just weren't working at that moment. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.560 It seems a little too convenient for me. But do 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.000 I know anything for sure? I do not, And we 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.760 don't want to get over our skis, and we won't 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:42.520 get over our skis. So anyway, we'll get into this more. 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.000 We'll check in with Elena Habba coming up, one source said. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.720 The person said the unveiling would be a disappointment to 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.680 sleuths that are eager for bombshell new evidence about the 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:59.080 you know, the billionaire psycho connection to prominent political and 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.720 business leaders. Anyway, the client list included is in the 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:08.640 initial release, which was compiled compiled into binders described as 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.560 Phase one of the Epstein files. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.080 Copies of the binder circulated. 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:17.200 I just believe in transparency and what they do with 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:18.680 it from there is going to be part of what 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.040 the DOJ and the FBI hopefully we'll get to the 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:25.600 bottom of and you know, hopefully these girls can get justice. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.080 And if you have any information, or if anybody has 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.480 any information, they have to make sure the identity is 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.640 protected in their personal information. Of the two hundred and 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.120 fifty four victims that we're talking about here, as if 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.520 the Department of Justice would release a list of the 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.240 clients it's sitting on my desk. Now, that's that's been 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:50.520 a directive of President Trump. You know, still nobody really 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.280 knew what this guy did for work. We just knew 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.320 that he was filthy rich. Of course, the Lolita Express 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.480 and everything else that has been public now for a 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.680 long time, and hopefully soon thereafter we'll get to the bottom. 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.960 We'll get the release of the JFK files, the RFK files, 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.920 the MLK files. Why has all of this been hidden 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:14.040 from the public since the nineteen sixties. Tell me, tell 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.160 me why that makes sense in any way, And the 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:22.160 answer is obvious, it does not. Trump's Education Department is 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:27.080 investigating civil rights violations ignored by Joe Biden. Nearly one 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.960 hundred anti Semitic violence and harassment cases not resolved under 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:35.000 the Biden administration. Almost seventy of them occurred after the 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:41.280 Hamas attack on Israel and related to elementary secondary post 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.440 secondary schools. According to the Trump Department of Education, they 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:50.320 announced these investigations, which I'm glad this cabinet meeting has 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.600 gone very very viral from yesterday and that the government 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.120 shrinking efforts will now go all across government. Will get 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:02.400 into more detail on that, and achieving a trillion dollar 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.280 debt reduction requires savings of four billion dollars a day 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.400 from now until the end of September, and Elon must 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.120 saying that we can get that done. The President went 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:17.880 into great specificity in detail today about what is emerging 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.760 as a deal. He doesn't want to go in his case, 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.160 get over his skis either there hasn't been a deal made. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:24.640 I don't know. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.480 Everybody in the media would like for President Trump to 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:36.200 start calling either Zelensky or putin names and assert blame, etc. Well, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.800 first steps first, Zelenski will be at the White House 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.120 Tomorrow is going to be the establishment of this US 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.760 Ukraine Mineral Fund. The President emphasized with the British Prime 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.360 Minister today that that will mean that there is going 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.520 to be a US presidence there. You know from Emmanuel 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:57.040 Macrone that they're willing to put troops inside of Ukraine 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.440 to help with the safety, security and rebuilding efforts. The 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.080 mineral deal will also be a fifty to fifty deal. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.400 We're going to help America is going to help with 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:10.400 its technology to extract these rare earth minerals, and that 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.600 would first pay back America for all the money and 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.440 the weaponry that was given to Ukraine over time. But 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.720 more importantly, it will give money to Ukraine to allow 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:24.880 them a time and effort to rebuild. I do believe 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.960 that the US will maintain maximum you know, recognize as 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:34.400 US gave Ukraine a significant financial contribution. I mean it 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.560 almost became a proxy war. But anyway that there is 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.680 an agreement on the rare earth mineral deal, which means 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.800 that Ukraine in the United States will be closer than 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.160 they've ever been. And then of course Europe has to 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.920 do their part to protect their continent. The Poland is 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:55.720 scrambling air defenses as Russia strikes western Ukraine and the 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.680 US is flying nuclear capable B fifty two bombers off 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.560 of Russian borders on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.920 Does Donald Trump want an escalation of the war? No, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.880 we all anyone with a brain wants war in Europe 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.760 and war in the Middle East to come to an end. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:19.120 Are two things happening simultaneously. Russia's economy is suffering and 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.000 Gordon Chang made an interesting observation to John Solomon's just 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:28.160 Thenews dot Com that China's espionage activity against the US, 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.040 as well as the country's business and economic policies, are 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.360 designed to weaken what Beijing sees as their chief rival. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.600 The American people need to understand the nature of the challenge. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.400 China wants to take down the US because they believe 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.760 we are an existential threat. And Chang told just the 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.880 News that China's reported economic growth of five percent is 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.920 probably inflated and that President Chi and his refusal to 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.520 rely on domestic consumption means that there is a potential 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.439 for tariffs that would have a significant effect. And Donald 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.760 Trump addressed the issue of a reciprocal tariffs once again 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:06.439 today and that is going to be a big component 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.240 in preventing countries from taking advantage of US. We had 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.440 a caller from Canada the other day, and I want 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.440 to be friends with Canada. I like Canada, but if 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.680 the people of Canada, you know, rely on the United 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.120 States for the bulk of their national security and defense, 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.920 and then they're not paying their fair share to NATO, 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.880 and they're not doing enough to control their borders and 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.439 stop the influx of illegal immigrants and drugs into our country, 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.400 then they're not being good neighbors. And the idea that 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.959 America is even giving them, you know, billions of dollars 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.600 on an annual basis. Why are we giving them billions 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.360 of dollars? Why did they have tariffs on a lot 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:52.440 of American products like dairy and you know, agriculture and poultry, 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.440 et cetera. They won't allow American seeds to be imported 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.720 into their country. Why why are they putting tariffs on 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.439 our products? I mean, the idea if you want if 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.560 you believe in free and fair trade, then you believe 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.000 in free and fair trade. It's really that simple anyway. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:11.680 So we're going to get into all of that. There's 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.280 a lot of coverage today of Gene Hackman and his 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.240 wife have been found dead. I'm not exactly sure what's 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.600 going on there. Anyway, we got a lot of ground 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.760 to cover today. We will cover it all. We will 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.040 also get in your calls. Eight hundred and ninety four one, 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:29.080 Shawn is our number. Look at all the they keep 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:34.080 finding Trump's hut. Secretary Scott Turner announced that he was 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:39.000 eliminating costly Obama and Biden era federal zoning rules that 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:46.400 Trump worn would destroy suburban neighborhoods. The affirmatively the affirmatively 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.000 furthering fair housing rule conditioned millions of dollars worth of 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.400 community block grants from hud on the completion of a 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:58.080 lengthy demographic analysis. To get money, localities had to certify 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:03.080 that there were no disparities by ray, religion, sex, nationality, disability, 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.480 and it goes on and on and on, and basically 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.680 his racial quotas as far as I interpret it and. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.320 The New York Post interpreted it. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.520 Lee Zelden says over one thousand employees have already left 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.360 the agency. He thinks he can cut the EPA by 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:24.120 sixty five percent in terms of hiring. Trump is ordering 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:28.960 a thirty day freeze on government credit cards spending, which 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.400 is great. This comes a week after DOZE discovered nearly 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:36.520 forty billion in spending last year linked to issued plastic 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.680 to employees. The Biden Treasury Department admitted they sent at 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:45.320 least thirty one million dollars in social Security checks to 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.520 dead people. Thirty one million. Oh, no need for Doze. 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:53.440 The Trump State Department has identified sixty billion dollars in 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.880 grants that could be eliminated. Thank goodness, John Roberts stopped 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.920 this court order on foreign payments by a lower Biden 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:03.040 appointed judge. 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.560 I mean, it's just unbelievable. 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.000 But in this case, Trump State Department completed their review 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.440 of US foreign aid. And this is under Marco Rubio, 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:16.400 fifteen thousand dollars worth of grand sixty million dollars for elimination. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.440 And it's all the same crap, all right, twenty five 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.520 now till the top of the hour, eight hundred and 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.320 nine to four one. Shawn is on number. If you 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.000 want to be a part of the program. I'd love 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.960 to cook, if I find it relaxing. I cook every meal. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.280 I'm very Keto friendly, mostly meat and eggs. By the way, 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.160 price eggs are going up, although the Agricultural Secretary did 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.120 say that they are coming up of the plan for 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:43.400 at least in the short term to import eggs because 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.040 this is more related not to inflation but the ABM 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.640 flu issue. But I love to cook. I love to 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.160 cook meat, I love to cook fish. I love to 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.040 cook it all. I started as a cook in a 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:54.960 restaurant I was thirteen. I wish I had chef. I 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.240 Q since I wouldn't have made as many mistakes as 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.560 I did, but I was learning, and I learned pretty well. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.640 It's such great technology, and it ensures that whatever you're cooking, 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:10.160 if you're cooking steaks and burgers and chicken and pork 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.840 chops and pork ribs and fish, it'll come out to 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.080 your preferred outcome every single time, no matter how you 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:18.920 cook it. You can cook it in a deep friary, 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.480 grill it roasted, bake it broil, it doesn't matter. It'll 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.880 come out to your preferred outcome. You simply take a 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.680 wireless probe. That's all it is. Is like a toothpick, 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.240 a little thicker than a toothpick. You put it in 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.520 your food. Then you go to the chef iq app, 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.120 the easiest app you've ever opened in your life. It'll 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.840 tell you when to turn your meat over. It'll tell 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.160 you when your meat is done, and it stops and 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.080 ends all confusion, eliminates all risk, and every meal you 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.840 cook will be served with confidence. Your friends, your neighbors, 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.040 your family, they're all going to think that you went 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.080 to culinary school. You're going to be such a great chef. 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:51.800 They're all going to want you to cook and you're 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.760 gonna enjoy doing it because you're going to be the 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:57.600 perfect cook, the master chef. Anyway, it's very inexpensive. You 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.480 find it at chefiq dot com. Mention my name, Hannity 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.520 and you get a fifteen percent discount. But I wish 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.760 I'd thought of this product, I really do. Is that amazing? 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.480 Anyway? Anything anyone there, Linda or. 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.680 No, they will be her momentarily. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.240 Eight hundred nine four one Shawn is a number if 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.760 you want to be a part of the program. Alena 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.320 Hobb is gonna check in with us. We're gonna get 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:26.080 an update from her on the Epstein file Phase one 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.880 release from earlier today, and again I want to put 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.800 emphasis on we don't rush to judgment. Just because somebody's 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.600 name is mentioned as having flown on the plane or 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.280 whatever does not mean that they knew or were guilty 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.840 of anything. It just gives it gives the FBI and 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.679 the dj a roadmap, hopefully to learn more information to 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.800 get to the bottom of what they have identified in 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.280 this Phase one report today two hundred and fifty four, 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.040 what they believe to be victims, what they're calling victims, 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.920 and get to the bottom of it. I mean I 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.879 would hope we can, you know, agree that that's a 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.000 good thing. But it doesn't mean just because somebody's name 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.400 is on it that they're guilty of anything. This guy 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:11.119 seems like he was obsessed with celebrity and obsessed with money. 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.240 That's the one takeaway. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.560 And in the course of my life, I have noticed 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.440 that there are people, Yeah, you kind of figure out 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.479 over time. M maybe they really only like me because 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.399 I am a public figure. 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.160 I've had that happen. Linda, You've seen that happen. 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.879 We've discussed that many times, number of times, and it's frustrating. 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.560 I mean, I just try to be nice to everybody and. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.800 Be a good christ. That was your first mistake. Why 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.800 being nice as a first Are you backsliding again? 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:43.400 See? 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.640 The unique thing about me is that I actually stay 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.399 in one spot, you know, like I get listen, I 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.880 think the president's doing a great job. He's being nice 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:52.960 to everybody. I wouldn't be nice to this Prime minister, 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:54.040 not for one second. 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.800 And well, I mean, you know, I know everybody wants 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.560 him to just like drop bombs on everyone one's head 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:01.240 all the time. 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.520 Well, actually JD Evans did do it. I have to 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:04.760 give to JD some credit. 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:09.680 I did see JD talked about the freedom of speech restrictions. Uh, 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:11.520 and we'll get to this and play some of it later. 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.960 But the freedom of speech restrictions in Europe and how 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.600 it does impact American companies. I mean, they have free 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.560 speech laws all over Europe now and it's it's gotten insane, 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:28.240 absolutely crazy. Anyway, we welcome our friend Alena Hamba back 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:32.080 to the program. I thought, at one point you said, now, Sean, 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:33.680 I'm not going into the White House. 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:35.200 Now you went in. 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:40.560 You remember saying that to me, right, You're one percent correct. 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.040 I said that famously. 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.400 But I will tell you because when I was there 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.240 to interview the president in the Oval office, I got 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.920 to see you and Dan Scavino in Scavino's office, and 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:55.560 it is really great to know that people like yourself 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.159 and Dan and everybody there. I don't I'm going to 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:02.159 miss a million names that you guys are there, and 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.480 that you do it at you know, great personal cost 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:10.680 and sacrifice financially and an opportunity costs and the expense 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.719 of maintaining two homes in many cases, and up rooting 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:16.560 your kids and sending them to the new schools. 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:17.159 It's hard to do. 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.520 Yeah, I'm actually away from my kids, and that adds 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.640 another layer of it. But it is the ultimate sacrifice. 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:27.879 It is really not the ultimate sacrifice, but it is 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.439 a sacrifice that I am proud to be endeavoring on. 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:35.160 And you're right. I told you many times at Mari Lago. 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.000 I remember selling right right like you said it. I said, Sean, 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.600 I'm not going in. I'm going to go to the 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.400 keeping the private sector. And you said, okay, I'm a here. 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.000 I am famous last words. But it's so nice. 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.240 I kind of suspected you might. He's pretty persuasive. You 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.560 gotta admit, if you know him personally, he is very persuasive. 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.240 The art of the deal, the art of the deal, Sean, 0:20:56.280 --> 0:21:00.000 It's funny. I haven't spoken about this, but I remember 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.280 I thought Susie archiefs of staff at Marijuaga. One evening, 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.240 they were doing transition meetings and I was having dinner 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.840 with my family and she caught me in the lobby 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.760 of the club and said, Alena can go in and 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.400 speak to the president. And I said why, She said, 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:15.960 just go in and speak to the president. And I 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:20.240 walk in and there's screens everywhere the transition teams sitting there, 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.400 you know, Howard Lutnik was there and many other members, 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.000 and the President looked at me and he said, so, 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.280 what are you going to do in the White House? 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.399 And I said, no, sir, I'm not going. And he 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:33.680 said and why are you not going? And I gave 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.119 him my reasons, and he said, so what are you 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.399 going to do for me in the White House? And 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:44.280 it was you know, you're negotiating with the best negotiator. 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:46.680 But it was a blessing. Everything he's pushed me to 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.000 do has been so tremendous, and I just hope I 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.879 can give this country one ounce of what they deserve 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:53.719 in my time here. 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:56.800 Well, I'm sure you will. 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.360 I mean the fact that there were different times I'd 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:05.080 interview you and it looked dire with dealing with the 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:09.200 law fair and the weaponization and all these different cases, 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:13.760 and you and other attorneys were juggling them all, and 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:18.520 I remember, you know, I'd expressed to you my concerns 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.760 about that. I really feel he put it all on 0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:24.440 the line in terms of this. It was either the 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:26.719 White House or they would have tried to put him 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.480 in jail, and I think they probably would have been successful. 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:30.520 Do you think I'm wrong? 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:33.359 No, I think you and I had some of the 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:37.000 most frank conversations. That's why I value our friendship. But 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:39.840 we always were very honest with each other throughout the 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.800 last four years of hell. And really there is no 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.399 other way than excite. It was war. It was a 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.680
