1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,159 Speaker 1: All right, our two Sean Hannity Show. Remember day sixty 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: two Americans abandoned trap behind terrorist enemy lines. Now we've 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: been telling you about this massive attempt at a power 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: grab by the Democrats that has to do with court packing. 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: Remember Biden early in his administration, he put together a 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: court packing committee, and yesterday we finally got a hold 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: of it. As who were getting off the air, yesterday 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: we got a draft release of the materials that will 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: be in the final report. Now, remember, the court packing 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: is their scheme to turn the US Supreme Court into 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: just another arm of the Democratic Party. And in other words, 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: what they could never get done at the ballot box, 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: what they could never get done legislatively, they want activist 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: justices to do for them. That's what they're looking for, 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: grabbing power and perpetuity, and then God only knows where 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: it goes from there. So all of these are schemes 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: to do this. Now on TV last night, I want 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: to just want to remind everybody Joe Biden, you know, 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: FDR had the right to pack the court, but it 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: was a bone head idea. Listen to Joe. President Roosevelt 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: clearly had the right to send to the United States Senate, 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: the United States Congress a proposal to pack the court. 23 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: It was totally within his right to do that. He 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: violated no law. He was legalistically absolutely correct. But it 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: was a bone head idea. It was a terrible, terrible 26 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: mistake to make, and it put in question for an 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: entire decade the independence of the most significant body, including 28 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: the Congress, in my view, the most significant body in 29 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America. Yeah, okay, 30 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: it was a bone headed idea then, and it's a 31 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: bone headed idea now. It's it's you know, he was 32 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: right at the time. Anyway, Joining us is Fox News 33 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: League Lanelist, host of his own podcast The Brief. Get 34 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: Greg Jared is back with us. John Solomon, editor in 35 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: chief of Justice News dot Com, can't wait to get 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: their take on the fact that former FBI Deputy director 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: McCabe now gets his pension back. Welcome both of you, Greg, 38 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: you're the lawyeral will start with you. Okay. There were 39 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: mixed reviews on whether to pack the court, but they 40 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: want to now term limit the justices. I guess that 41 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: means get rid of every conservative justice now and keep 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: all the liberals and add new Liberals. Yeah, I mean obviously. 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: And look, as a practical matter, you cannot impose term 44 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: limits without altering the Constitution itself, which would mean an 45 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: amendment the Constitution, which essentially the most agreeable path would 46 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: be a two thirds vote of the House and the 47 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: Senate and then ratification by three quarters to the state legislatures. Well, 48 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: that's impossible, and that this far left commission that Biden 49 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: named knew it's impossible, which is exactly why they proposed it, 50 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: because they know it would go nowhere. So no harm, 51 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: no foul. In terms of packing the CORP, even this 52 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: liberal commission was divided on that, and that, of course 53 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: is impossible. Also you'd have to blow up the filibuster 54 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: to do it, and even then you'd have to have 55 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: every single Democrat in the Senate on board, and they 56 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: don't have that. You've got several Democratic senators say I'm 57 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: against court packing. So in terms of term limits and 58 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: packing the CORP, it will never happen. Biden knows it, 59 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: he knows it boneheaded. But he pandered, and he dodged, 60 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: and he pandered some more, and then he sluft it 61 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: off in a commission trying to shift responsibility to see 62 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: I think he'd love the idea. Yeah, first of all, 63 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure if he knows what day of 64 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: the week it is. I mean, you got the great puppeteer. 65 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: This is a high class problem, the supply chain issue. No, 66 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: it's not you idiot. But anyway, ron Klain, so I 67 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: think he actually does want to do these things, but 68 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't. But I don't know how much control he 69 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: actually has. But there are people that are pushing him 70 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: hardcore left, and he's gone along with it, and I 71 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: don't see any way he can retreat from it. As 72 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: adult is his brain might be. He's got to know 73 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: that it's politically top toxic. He knows poll numbers Americans 74 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: by huge amounts, vehmently opposed to tampering with the court, 75 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: and he knows the backlash with the extreme Your take, 76 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: John Solomon, I think Greg has it just right. Listen, 77 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: this is a sugar pill, right. They gave the left 78 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: what they wanted. If you really want to do something, 79 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: you can go and put term limits and that's never 80 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: gonna happen. They're never going to get a constitutional amendment. 81 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, court packing just not going to 82 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: be legitimate. It's actually going to undermine the legitimacy of 83 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: the Court. Basically, they did an entire exercise to come 84 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: up with one recommendation that will never never fly in. 85 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: So it's just an empty process away for Joe Biden 86 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: to try to keep his far left part of his 87 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: party appeased or at arm's length for a while. But 88 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's not going to make any of the 89 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: left left. He's happy, and the truth of the matters 90 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: is going to have zero impact. The Supreme Court is 91 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: going to remain a nine justice lifetime appointment court for 92 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. So I thought of both of you 93 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: when I read the news that Biden's Department of Justice, 94 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: which you know has been highly politicized, right man. I 95 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: mean we see it recently with you know, the critical 96 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: race and looking at mommies and daddies as domestic terrorism, 97 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: bringing the FBI in to examine parents at school boards. 98 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: That would be the job of the local police. Well 99 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: unless your city, of course defunded and dismantled them, then 100 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: they might need some other law enforcement. But putting that, 101 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: i'd here, But he politicized it also by going after 102 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: the State of Georgia and they have one of the 103 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: most inclusive voting systems laws in the country. One of 104 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: the most restrictive is Delaware. You have seventeen days an 105 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: in person or early voting in Georgia. You have zero 106 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: in Delaware. You have drop boxes in every county in Georgia, 107 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: zero in Delaware. Both states require voter ID And in 108 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: the five thousand, nine hundred and thirty eight years that 109 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's represented Delaware, not a single time did he 110 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: ever lift a finger to make voting in Delaware more accessible. 111 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: So we know it's politicized. Now we have Michael Horowitz. 112 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: The Inspector General's report comes out, and within this report 113 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: are referrals meaning for criminal investigations anyway. One of them 114 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: was for Andrew McCabe. Remember he was fired and had 115 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: his pension stripped from him, and et cetera, et cetera. 116 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: Why there was not a grand jury convened, I don't know. 117 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: But now the New York Times is saying that McCabe 118 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: is granted his full retirement, he'll get his pension, he'll 119 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: get his other benefits, and two hundred thousand dollars and 120 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: missed pension payments. And addition, the Department agreed to expunge 121 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: any mention of his firing from his FBI personnel records. 122 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: So I guess you know wis dorm number one Greg 123 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: and number two. I guess Michael Harrowitzer report was just 124 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: a colossal waste of time. Well, it's tragic that this guy, 125 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe isn't behind bars. He lied to the fiser 126 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: cord to see the judges and perpetrated a fraud, and 127 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: he should have been held in criminal contempt, and beyond that, 128 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: he should have been indicted. You know, he knew absolutely 129 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: that there was no justification, no probable cause for surveillance 130 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: warrant on Carter page. It was based largely on a 131 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: phone dossier, and McCabe, among others, knew that was funny. 132 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: And yet McCabe is the one who signed off on 133 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: one of the four fives A warrant applications. Essentially Jim 134 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: Jim Comey signed signed three of them himself, right right. 135 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: And you know both of these guys, you know, if 136 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: they weren't you know, the liberal Democrat darling, you know, 137 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: they would have been probably prosecuted, didn't criminally charged. So 138 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: the obvious conclusion is that even though we had the 139 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: goods on a lot of these people, they're all going 140 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: to get off scott free. And then we can only 141 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: determine and conclude John Solomon, that we have a two 142 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: tier justice system, one for liberals, one for conservatives. We 143 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: don't have equal justice under the law, and we don't 144 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: have equal equal application under the law. Now, when the 145 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: charge against for example, Roger Stone lying to Congress pre 146 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: Don Reid with frogmen are tactical gear, twenty five of them, 147 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: guns drawn and they go into the house, CNN cameras 148 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: filming the whole entire pre dawn episode. Okay, it's the 149 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: exact same charge as was made by the Inspector General. 150 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: Nothing happens as usual. Yeah, listen, I tweeted out this morning. 151 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: This is the perfect example of the dual justice system 152 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: alive and well. You can lie to an investigation, which 153 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: is what Andrew McCabe was documented to have done, you 154 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: can be fired for it, and you can keep your pension. 155 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: And we've seen this inside the FBI regularly. There are 156 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: FBI supervisors who've engaged in horrendous sexual harassment, irrefutable sexual harassment, 157 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: in some cases what appears to be sexual assault unwanted touching. 158 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: They get to retire with their pensions. The FBI does 159 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: not discipline its own, it does not punish its own, 160 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: and ultimately, the old boys club of the Justice Department 161 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: in the FBI take care of their own even when 162 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: they're engaged in misconduct and wrongdoing. And in this case, 163 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: it's not in dispute. Andrew McCabe gave false statements to 164 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: an official FBI investigation. It's not the only question is 165 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: what's the appropriate punishment. He got fired, He should have 166 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: lost his pension, and now this Biden administration is going 167 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: to allow him to walk away with a pension. So 168 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: the obvious stupid question, I guess, probably a waste of 169 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: time question, is where's John Durham. Anybody anybody have a 170 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: John Durham sighting? I know we got the sessament indictment, 171 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: but I don't see you know this, This should have 172 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: been done in record time. If he would have just 173 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: used a low hanging fruit and the Inspector General's report, 174 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: a lot of people would have been charged. But now 175 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: you know how many years later and he's still investigating. 176 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: And you know, I have zero confidence John, You're more 177 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: confident than me and Greg you think that stuff might 178 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: actually be happening here. Well, listen, there's activity, and I've 179 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: always said, and I've said it for two and a 180 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: half years, I think a small number of people will 181 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: be indicted as a result of it. We're up to two. 182 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: I imagine that there'll be a handful more that all curb. 183 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: I don't believe they will be at the level of 184 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: Acombi or a McCabe. There'll be downstream from them. But 185 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: there is still ongoing criminal investigative activity, and there's report 186 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: writing going on, but none of it's going to be 187 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: satisfying to the American public because at the end of 188 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: the day, this was a large political ruse that the 189 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: FBI not only got hoodwinked by, they participated in. And 190 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: very few people are going to go to prison for 191 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: it or even be punished for it. Unbelievable. Quick break 192 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: more with Greg Jarrett John Solomon on the other side 193 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: than your calls, eight hundred and nine for one, Sean 194 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: is our number one right as we continue with Greg Jarret, 195 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: John Solomon with us, Greg Jarrett, you had two number 196 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: one best selling books on this topic. The case you 197 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: you lay out in both those books, the evidence this 198 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: is overwhelming. It is incontrovertible. If you're a conservative and 199 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: you jay Walker spit on the sidewalk, you go on 200 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: a jail for seven years. Right, If you're a deep 201 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: state liberal operative doing the bidding of Hillary Clinton and 202 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: a campaign and smearing Donald Trump, you can get away 203 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: with pretty much anything. Yes, and the number one person 204 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: that should be prosecuted as Hillary Clinton. In both books, 205 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: I explained in detail how she invented, financed, and disseminated 206 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: the Russia Hopes, a lie intended to smear Donald Trump. 207 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: She was involved in a conspiracy with other people to 208 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: provide false information to the FBI knowingly. Fualtimate that is 209 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: a crime, and this was all designed to distract from 210 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: the problem that she had with her server. Is that true? Oh, 211 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: it's absolutely true. It was a scheme that was not 212 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: only illicit, it was illegal to crime to Why did 213 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: the FBI to provide knowingly false information to frame somebody else, 214 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: in this case, Donald Trump? And she did it to 215 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: distract from her own urginine email scandals just before the election. 216 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: The tragedy is to some extent it worked. It did 217 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: smear Donald Trump. He won the election, but it hobbled 218 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: him for the four years in office. It's just unbelievable 219 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: to me. Now, I had heard some sources telling me 220 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: John that there is a grand jury convene. Do we 221 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: know that to be true? Yes, there's no doubt. I've 222 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: talked to witnesses who appeared before that. I've talked to 223 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: witnesses who've gotten grand jury subpoenas. And there's two remaining focuses. Listen, 224 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: there's no focus on the CIA or intelligence anymore. There's 225 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: a report written to describe the CIA's role, John Brennan's role, 226 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: all of that. They're focused on two things. The people 227 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: who brought the information to the FBI, did they know 228 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: what they were bringing what's false? So the Susmans, the Steals, 229 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: people like that, did they know what they were bringing 230 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: was false? And in the case of Sessmen, that the 231 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: prosecutor makes a clear argument that Sessman had reason to 232 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: believe what he was giving to the FBI was false. 233 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: The red hearing comment, Hey, this is a red herring. 234 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: They still give it to the FBI despite them. The 235 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: second part, did the FBI people who submitted the FISA applications, 236 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: who prepared them, who reviewed them, who vouched for them. 237 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: Did they have reason to believe and should they have 238 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: known what they were submitting was false? We know in 239 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: the case of one person, yes, because he altered a document. 240 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: I believe that I know from my reporting. They're looking 241 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: at others and still examining whether they had reason to 242 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: believe that their case is that they what they were 243 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: presenting to the court was false and what they might 244 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: have been presenting to Congress was false. It's the other part. 245 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: That's the only two parts of activity in the grand 246 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: jury that I've been detecting any activity about. All right. 247 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: John Solomon, by the way, we have to call him sir, Greg, 248 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: because he's now the editor in chief of Just the 249 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: Dues dot com. I have to say, John Solomon, sir. 250 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: He told me before the interview today, I do expect 251 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: both of you to refer to me as sir. I said, yes, Sir, 252 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: I was kidding anyway, John Solomon, Greg Jarrett, thanks for 253 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: being with us. When we come back, we'll hit your 254 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: hit the phones, all right, twenty five now to the 255 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: top of the hour.

If you want to be a part of 258 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: the program. So last week we celebrated the twenty fifth anniversary. 259 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: I've been on Fox Now for twenty five years, and 260 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: I feel less than humbled and appreciative to everybody to 261 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: be able to do what I do every day. I'm 262 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: on radio now thirty three years, if you can believe it. 263 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: And if I didn't have these jobs, I'd probably be 264 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: driving around talking to myself all day doing monologues. Let's 265 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: go to John in South Florida. John, you're on the 266 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Hey, Sean, how are you? First time caller? 267 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: A longtime listener? All right, that's probably my future. In 268 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: other words, I'll go full Joe Biden on you on myself. 269 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: But anyway, I've met some wonderful people throughout the years. 270 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: One of the founders of the Fox News Channel played 271 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: a very important integral role in building the brand that 272 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: is now defining news in America in ways that nobody 273 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: thought would happen. I'm telling you right now, nobody thought 274 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: Fox would explode the way it did. And I'm honored 275 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: to just be as spoken the wheel in a small 276 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: part of it all, and it's been an incredible ride. 277 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: You make that possible by watching, just like you make 278 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: this radio show possible by listening. You could fire me 279 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: any day you want. I hope you don't, because I 280 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: like doing what I'm doing anyway. So John Moody is 281 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: one of the founders of the Fox News Channel. So 282 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: he sends me a copy of a book that he's written, 283 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: and it's just been released, and the book is called 284 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: of course they knew. Of course they dot dot And 285 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: what's fascinating about it. I do not have a lot 286 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: of time to read for pleasure. I spent so much 287 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: time reading and studying for work every day that I'm 288 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: kind of I'm spent in terms of my capacity to read. 289 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: My bandwidth gets pretty short on this. So I pick 290 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: up this book and it's like ripped from today's headlines. 291 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: You have an unhappy Chinese virologist, a master seamstress they 292 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: think Italy should be for Italians, an unemployed twenty something 293 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: who believes artificial intelligence is the future, and America is 294 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: in fatal decline. And you got an ordinary Joe from 295 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh who doesn't like being told what to do by 296 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: the government or it's lying leaders. Now throughout the course 297 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: that while it's a novel. It's a novel that I mean, 298 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: it's it's so parallel to so much of what we're 299 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: discussing and what's going on in the world today. You 300 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: know that all of our lives, and all of the 301 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: lives of the characters in the book are twisted together 302 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: by this invisible viral intruder that doesn't know national boundaries, 303 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: sound familiar, political parties, etc. You know, where was the 304 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: virus created and by whom did anyone try to prevent it? 305 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: To doctor Fauci just adding this part myself that he 306 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: did he fund it and then lie about it. Of 307 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: course they knew. We put up a link on Hannity 308 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: dot com. It's to Amazon dot com. It's now in 309 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: bookstores everywhere. It's just been released, and John Moody had 310 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: just brought them on to just give you a quick, 311 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: you know headline. First of all, you're I am stunned. 312 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: I know, I've always known how smart you are. We've 313 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: we've we've had a great relationship all the time we 314 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: worked together at Fox. And although you were more on 315 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: the news side of programming at Fox, you are very 316 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: supportive and understanding that you know, we have an opinion side. 317 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: We have the talk show host side. I'm a member 318 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: of the press, and I'm just I have a different 319 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: role than what your role will it was, and you 320 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: respected that and the whole time I was there, and 321 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, in the news division 322 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: don't particularly like some of Sean Hannity's opinions. Well, Sean, 323 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: thanks for those beautiful words. And I just want to say, 324 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: before we do anything else, you were probably the single 325 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: best decision that we made twenty five years ago. So 326 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: congratulations to you. You know, but John, we got We 327 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: gotta be honest here. I was awful when I started 328 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: on television. I remember asking Roger L's one number of times, 329 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: why didn't you fire me? I said, because I'd look 330 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: at these old tapes and I'd cringe and it's embarrassing, 331 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: and that my kids would see it and they'd say, god, Dad, 332 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: that's awful. And his answer was great, you know, typical 333 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: Roger for me, because well, we knew nobody was watching 334 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: anyway in the early days, and I knew you would 335 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: grow into it because you were a radio guy. That's 336 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: what he said to me. Yeah, Roger always do how 337 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: to make a guy feel good, didn't they? No, But 338 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean, in all seriousness, if I were to go, 339 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: if I was the person I was a local radio 340 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: host in Atlanta today and got called by any of 341 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: the big news networks, channels, cable, whatever, and was given 342 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: a show. If it didn't rate, in like a week, 343 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: it's over. I wouldn't have had the time to grow 344 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: into the job which he gave me. Well, one of 345 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: Roger's great talents was he took the long view of things, 346 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: and he could see over the horizon. And I think 347 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: with you, he knew that there was a product in development, 348 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: and he just wanted to be there when it burst 349 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: forward on the scene, and we were all there to 350 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: see it, and we were all proud of you. Well, 351 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: let's go to this book. I couldn't believe now it's 352 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: very hard to get me to stop what I'm doing 353 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: at night because I'm numb from reading all day. And 354 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: I actually couldn't put your book down. So you know, 355 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: I've always known how smart you are, but then I 356 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: didn't know what a great writer you are, and so 357 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: you know, I U should be very proud of this. 358 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 1: And you asked me for I told you I love 359 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: the book, and then you said, would you buy blurbing it, 360 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: and I said, Americans know something's wrong, but I've been 361 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: silenced by political correctness. I didn't add wokeness. I would 362 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: have today that these characters have a voice. So explaining 363 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: how this connects to real life today, well, Sean, I 364 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: had a lot of time last year to look at 365 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: what was going on, and I kind of thought at 366 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: the end of the year there were three threads that 367 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: kept interweaving during twenty twenty. The first was this unexpected 368 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: and horrible spread of this virus which we were in, 369 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: which everybody said we had to call COVID instead of 370 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: the Wuhan flu or the China virus because we didn't 371 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: want to upset the Chinese, of course, and so the 372 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: mainstream media rolled over on its back, put all four 373 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: legs up in the air and said, yes, sir, we'll 374 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: do whatever you say. The second thread was the social 375 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: protests that we saw sweeping across the country. And there's 376 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with social protests as long as it remains peaceful. 377 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: But these protests turned violent, they turned into riots. They 378 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: burned down police cars and they looted stores. That's not 379 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: social protests, that's rioting. The third was the presidential election, 380 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: and I think everybody kind of looked askance at what 381 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: was going on and said, you know, this is not 382 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: how we're supposed to elect our leaders. There is a 383 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: lot of anger and a lot of bitterness going on, 384 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: and we'd rather have, you know, an election that we 385 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: can all say, Okay, it wasn't perfect, but this is 386 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: how it went. And so I think these all these 387 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: things made Americans nervous and made them wonder what was 388 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: going on. And so I tried to capture that. It 389 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: is a novel, but I tried to make it as 390 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: realistic as I possibly could. It really was an incredible year. 391 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: You're right on every point that you made. Here one 392 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 1: thing for you, I'll let me pick one example. January 393 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: sixth I said, right from the get go, this cannot 394 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 1: happen in this country. You know, we have to protect 395 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: our institutions. We have to protect every lawmaker. I don't 396 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: care what your politics are. We have a we have 397 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: a sworn duty to defend are the our institutions. But 398 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: it's interesting, interesting to me that Democrats only want to 399 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: talk about one riot. There were over five hundred and 400 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: thirty four of these riots that took place in the 401 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty, Democrats denied they were and riots. 402 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: You know, I love you put on fake news CNN 403 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: or MSDNC and the shot over the shoulder of a 404 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: reporter saying things are mostly peaceful and you got a 405 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: city ablaze, or you got people, you know, throwing rocks 406 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: and bricks and molotov cocktails at cops. Nearly three thousand 407 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: cops were injured and dozens were killed in the course 408 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: of these people quote riots as the media and the 409 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: Democrats told us, how come then I want to investigate 410 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: those because it doesn't fit their narrative. Sean, You know, 411 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: I did watch news reports while I was writing this book, 412 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: and I tried to keep a certain level of separation 413 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: between what I saw and what I wrote. But you know, 414 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: the things that got me were reporters standing there saying, 415 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: I feel very uncomfortable being in this crowd of people 416 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: who are Republicans and all white men, and I don't 417 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 1: like being in this presence. Well, reporters have to go 418 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: into dangerous situations sometimes. The ones that we're covering the 419 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: social protests of the summer seem to be quite happy 420 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: to be there and had no reluctance whatsoever. About saying 421 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: these were peaceful protests as flame shot up behind them, 422 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: and then you got Kamala Harris literally promoting a bell 423 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: fund to get the rioters out of jail. I mean, 424 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: you can't even make this up. You have entire city 425 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: blocks overtaken by anarchists, but were told it's the Summer 426 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: of Love Zone. I don't know if you saw the 427 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: interview I did with Horace Lorenzo Anderson Senior. His son 428 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: was killed in the chop Chaz Autonomous Summer of Love Zone, 429 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: and not one politician ever picked up up a phone 430 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: to call him. The only politician that ever ended up 431 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: calling him was Donald Trump. After watching this poor man 432 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: who lost his son, you know die, Donald Trump picked 433 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: up the phone and called him and said, I'm so sorry. Yeah. 434 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: And those are the kind of things that I think 435 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: Trump never got credit for the media. The mainstream media 436 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: could only think of things to disparage him, to say, 437 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: you know, this is a terrible person. He did a 438 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: lot of things that probably didn't get attention, and that 439 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: would have if it had been a president from another 440 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: political party. But about the victims of those summer protests, 441 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the mainstream media is never going to give 442 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: any credence to that stuff. It doesn't fit their narrative. 443 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: They want to talk about the injustices that were done 444 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: by the police, not the injustices that were done by 445 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: the rioters. You know, it's such an amazing time we're 446 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: living in, and for many a very scary time. You 447 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: see what's happening with the economy. You saw what happened 448 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. We abandoned Americans. You see the disaster at 449 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: our southern border. I mean, for Biden to now say 450 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: he's going to bring back the remain in Mexico policy, 451 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: that's pretty much an admission of failure, but it doesn't 452 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: go far enough. He ought to bring back the entire 453 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: Trump policies. We gave up energy independence, John, you know 454 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: how important that is. Quick break, we'll come back more 455 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: with one of my fellow founders of the Fox News Channel, 456 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: John Moody. Ripped from the headlines. Of course they knew. 457 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: Of course they dot dot dot dot dot. The final 458 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next. Hang 459 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: on for Shaun's conservative solutions. Hi. John Moody is with us. 460 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: We worked together for many years of the Fox News Channel. 461 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: He's authored a book written literally ripped from today's headlines. 462 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: It's called of course they knew. Of course they dot 463 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: dot dot And by the way, you can get it 464 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com, bookstores everywhere. I 465 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: will tell you, I am more worried about the future 466 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: of this country at this point than I've ever been. 467 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't do this job for money anymore. I do 468 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: this job because I love this country and we need 469 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: at least a few voices, just a couple. There's not 470 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: many of us, some in talk radio, a couple of 471 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: us on Fox. Is not many of us that are 472 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: conservative that have access to the airwaves anymore. Well, you're right, Sean, 473 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: and I'll just say this. I don't mean it as 474 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: a self plug, but this book was written for your listeners, 475 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: your viewers. It was written for viewers of Fox News. 476 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: It was written for people who still care about the 477 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: country and want to see what's going on and what 478 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: might be done to turn things around. And your role 479 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: in this is as important as anybody's in this country. 480 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: And I say that without trying to butter you up 481 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: or anything else. Your voice is out there and it 482 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: needs to be heard and needs to be recognized. You know, 483 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: and I'm an appreciative of the opportunity to do it. 484 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: I always tell this audience that we're all spokes in 485 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: a wheel, and if you want that wheel to spin around, 486 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: we need every spoke. In other words, it's all hands 487 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: on deck. Where do you see this going? I mean, look, 488 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: you're a student of history. You've been through all these 489 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: elections throughout your very successful career. Where do you see 490 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four headed well? In 491 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 1: terms of the elections, I think the Republicans have a 492 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: real chance to clawback from ground that they lost. I 493 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: think that the Congress, if the Republicans can take control 494 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: of either of the houses, is going to be a 495 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: very very important cog you use the word cog in 496 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: the government. And I think that President Biden's very very 497 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: liberal agenda might grind to a grind to a halt, 498 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: but it takes Republicans to get out there and vote 499 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: and care and do what they know needs to be done, 500 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: and take a few chances while they're doing it. Let 501 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: me ask you this, how would you describe media in 502 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: America today? Because I said in two thousand and seven, 503 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: many many times, a journalism's dead, John, I don't think 504 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: it exists anymore, Sean. The mainstream media decided once Donald 505 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: Trump was elected that they could no longer be honest 506 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: tellers of what was going on. They could no longer 507 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: be observers. They couldn't afford that. They had to be participants, 508 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: and they had to shape the narrative in a way 509 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: that would do Donald Trump the most damage and would 510 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: do them, the media, the most good and get them 511 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: the most viewers and readers. They have given up objective reporting. 512 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I had to make this 513 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: in a novel is I could not do the kind 514 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: and quality of reporting to do a non fiction book 515 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: that I would have had to do to satisfy myself 516 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: that I knew all the facts, So I made it 517 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: into a novel. I took a few little liberties with 518 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: this and that, and didn't use the right names all 519 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: the time. But the media doesn't worry about those things anymore. 520 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: If it suits their editors and who it suits their agenda, 521 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be out there and listeners and viewers 522 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: and readers. You have to decide for themselves what they 523 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: believe and what they don't, all right, John Moody I 524 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: really you got me to do something that is not 525 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: easy to do, and that's take the time to actually 526 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: read a book for fun. And I did enjoy it 527 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: and I couldn't stop reading it. It's up on Hannity 528 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: dot com, Amazon dot com, and it's called of course 529 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: they knew, of course they dot dot dot literally ripped 530 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: from today's headlines, Amazon dot com, bookstores everywhere, Hannity dot com. 531 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, John Moody
