Speaker 1: Happy Monday. We're loaded up today. We have so much

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: to delve into today. And um, if I was the

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: type of person that lived an angry life, I would

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: be apoplectic, have a heart attack, stress out, and die

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: because if you just watch the media on any given day,

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: they are so corrupt. There's so there's such liars on

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: the biggest, deepest level. You can't even it's not even

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: worth mentioning because it's basically every word that comes out

32
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: of their mouths. Anyway, we have that, We have an

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: exclusive first look at Peter Schweitzer's brand new book Today,

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Secret Empires, How the American political class hides corruption in

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: richest family and friends. Now, remember he wrote Clinton Cash.

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: He he first told us three years ago about urany one,

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: And that's about how long ago it was. Believe April,

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, and Peter Switzer writes this new book,

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: and what do we see, Oh, we see that the

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Bidens get filthy rich, the Biden family and what he

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: calls it, He talks about making these deals by proxy.

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: He explains in the book one instance where Joe Biden's

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: son goes with him on a trip to China when

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: he's the vice president, and lo and behold, the kid

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: is making a billion and a half dollar deal with

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: some Chinese banks so that they're gonna buy up different

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: things within the United States. You don't think they're expecting

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: something in exchange for all of that money being funneled

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: through whatever company. Biden's son has involved in the same

50
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: thing with Carry's son, and he's got the same thing

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: on the Obama's And by the way it crosses political lines,

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: then you've got McConnell's same actions with him, and now

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: he has become weak on China. You can see a

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: direct correlation between the business dealings and the and the

55
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: policies that people are making in Washington. We'll get to

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: all of that uh an hour from now, right after

57
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: the news at the top of the next hour, we're

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna do a deep I've both on the legal side

59
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: and the investigative side of everything that's happening in terms

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: of Andrew McCabe and fired. I've got a lot to

61
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: say about it, um, but I want to first take

62
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: you back to Friday night. All throughout the hour on Hannity,

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: we had expected any moment that Andrew McCabe would be fired,

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: and just as I said goodbye at nine thirty, Andrew

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: McCabe got fired. So we didn't have the coverage on

66
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: the show, but you know, Laura Ingram was on, so

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: it was fine, um, and we covered it on the

68
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: news channel. But we started Friday night with these brand

69
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: new text messages with these love birds, Peter Struck in

70
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: Lisa Page. Remember Lisa Page was the acting attorney for

71
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe, the deputy FBI director. She's also having a

72
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: fling with Peter Struck. And remember Peter Struck at Lisa

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: Page or texting back and forth, and they're talking about

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: their insurance policy, how much they hate Don Old Trump, etcetera, etcetera.

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Now there's over fifty thousand of these text messages that

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: were told that are in existence, and for some strange reason,

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: members of Congress are having a very difficult time getting

78
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: this information Now, remember, just before the deadline, after these

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: Devin Nowness of the House Intel Committee had sent over

80
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: to the d o J asking for the documents that

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: would ultimately become the foundation for the Newest Memo and

82
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: the Graham Grassley Memo. Remember the last hour was Rod

83
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Rosenstein that was begging Paul Ryan not to allow Newness

84
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: and his committee or anybody in Congress to see the information.

85
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: And that would have meant no information about the dossier,

86
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: none of the stuff that we've been discovering, none of

87
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: the corruption that he's has existed. Why didn't Rod Rosenstein

88
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: want this information out? Especially the same Rod Rosenstein that

89
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: after Jeff Sessions recoosed himself. Rod Rosenstein was the one

90
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: that appointed Robert Muller, and Rob Muller goes off hiring

91
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: all these Democratic activists and donors and and people that

92
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: donate to Obama Hillary in the d n C. And

93
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: then Rod Rosenstein we find out later, well he also

94
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: used the phony Russian bought and paid for Hillary dossier.

95
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: And he's the one that signed off on at least

96
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 1: one of the FISA applications in terms of the renewal

97
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: the subsequent renewal application, at least as it relates to

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: spying on Carter Page, the Trump campaign associate, why is

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: he involved in this at all? He can't interview himself

100
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: and all of this. At the end of the day,

101
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: we need a second special counsel. What happened Friday with

102
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: the firing of McCabe is only a good start. But

103
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: before I get to that, remember Struck was friends. We

104
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: found out through these text messages again because there's so

105
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: much information and the Department of Justice is not allowing

106
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: Congress to have copies. And the only way they can

107
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: see this information is they got to go into a

108
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: roomman signed a document. They can't take any pictures, they

109
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: can't make any copies of any of these documents. But

110
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: Congressman Jordan's and Congressman Meadows are sending over staff members

111
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: wasting their days sifting through this voluminous information that exists

112
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: over there, and they're the ones that found the Struck

113
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: and Page. In fact, our friends with one of the

114
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: FISA Court judges, a guy by the name of Rudolph

115
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: uh Contrarist, Rudolph Contrarish now is friends with Peter Struck

116
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: and as an ongoing relationship with Struck and and what

117
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: happens here is that's the same contrarists that ended up

118
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: being involved in the case against General Flynn and accepting

119
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: his plea for lying to the FBI and then recused himself,

120
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: which hardly ever happens. And it never made sense until Friday.

121
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: What's so disturbing about all of this? You know, you

122
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: look at these text messages and you got Page writing two,

123
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: Struck Rudy is on the Firm Intelligent Surveillance Court. Whooo

124
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: did you know of that? And then Page adds that

125
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: just just a pointed two months ago because she knows

126
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: that her lover struck his friends with contreras. I did,

127
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: he writes, I did. We talked about him being on

128
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: the FISA Corps both before and after. This isn't this

129
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: isn't healthy here, especially because we know they have an

130
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: anti Trump agenda. We need to get together with him.

131
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: I need to get together with him anyway. So then

132
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: Page points out later, uh thought of it because you

133
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: had to google Foreign Intelligent Surveillance Court judges, and I

134
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: saw him there and I'm telling you. And then Struck

135
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: follows up with Paige, and she brought up a good

136
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: point about being circumspent circumspect in terms of not placing

137
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: him in a situation where Contreris would have to recuse himself,

138
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: and Paige says, well, I can't imagine that either one

139
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: of you could talk about anything in in detail meaningful

140
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: enough to warn a recusal anyway. Maybe you meant to,

141
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: but you didn't, uh, basically trying to cover for him

142
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: the way I read that, And then Struck says, really, rudy,

143
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: meaning Contreras, Hello, I'm in charge of the espionage for

144
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: the FBI. Any espionage buys a court application comes before him.

145
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: What should he do? Given his friend oversees it. And

146
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: then Page says, now, it's gonna be fine. They were

147
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: the standards for recusal are high. I just don't think

148
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: this poses any actual conflict. And he doesn't know what

149
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: you do, and Struck says, yeah, generally he does know

150
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: what I do. And it continues from there. It's a

151
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: massive conflict of interest obviously. Then they talk about engineering

152
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: a meeting a dinner party with six people, because obviously

153
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: Struck can't talk to Contraras on his own. But if

154
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: there's six people, I'm sure they'll be able to find

155
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: a little alone time in the bathroom together in the

156
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: kitchen or in the basement or outside smoking a cigar,

157
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: whatever they do. What's so inexcusable about this is the

158
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: Department of Justice. They they fault like hell to keep

159
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: all of this information from the you, the American people.

160
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: And you know, we look at the only reason this

161
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: happened is because finally, you know, Paul Ryan Devon Newness

162
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: is the one that subpoenaed it and Rod Rosenstein was

163
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: forced to hand it over because he didn't want to

164
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: hand it over. Rod Rosenstein didn't want the truth coming out.

165
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein, Yeah, best friends would call me best friends

166
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: with Stroke and Page and Mueller. This whole thing stinks

167
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: too high heaven. You know, remember Rosenstein begged Paul Ryan

168
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: to to not force him to release this. This is

169
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: all part of a never ending pattern of stonewalling, obstruction,

170
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: non compliance with Congress. Congress has oversight, not only if

171
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: they have constitutional authority and oversight. People need to be

172
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: held accountable. We wouldn't know half of what we know

173
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: now but for Devin Neonness demanding that, in fact, we

174
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: get copies of all of this. That it's very important

175
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: is that their friends meaning Contraris and Struck and that

176
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: contraras oversaw the Flynn case. It's pretty unbelievable, all right.

177
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: So then as I'm getting off the air Friday night,

178
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: then comes the big announcement from the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions.

179
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: After an extensive and fair investigation, according to the Department

180
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: of Justice procedure, the Department of Office of Inspector General,

181
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: the o i G provided its report on allegations of

182
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: misconduct by Andrew McCabe to the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility.

183
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: The o p R and the FBI s o p

184
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: R then reviewed the report of the Inspector General. By

185
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: the way, those in the media saying Trump did this,

186
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: Trump forced this, No, that would be the FBI recommending it.

187
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: That would be after an extensive investigation, and when you

188
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: look at the charges they're so overwhelming that nobody could

189
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: ignore it. Anyway. The FBI s o p R then

190
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: reviewed the report and the underlying documents, and they issued

191
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: a disciplinary proposal. They recommended, meaning the FBI, not Donald Trump,

192
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: the dismissal of Mr McCabe. And don't forget when we

193
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: first got wind of the i G S report, the

194
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: FBI Director Ray He then literally put Andrew McCabe on

195
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: ice and he was just trying to sail into retirement,

196
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: which would have taken place yesterday anyway. They both the

197
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: o i G the Inspector General report. The FBI's o

198
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: PR report concluded that McCabe had made unauthorized disclosures to

199
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: the news media and lacked candor, including under oath, on

200
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: multiple occasions. So the FBI and the Inspector General determined

201
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: McCabe lied under oath on multiple occasions. And it goes

202
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: on to say, the FBI expects every employee to adhere

203
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and accountability. As

204
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: the OPR proposals stated, all FBI employees know that lacking

205
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: candor under oath results in dismissal and that our integrity

206
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: is our brand. And pursuing to Department Order twelve Vote

207
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: two and based on the report of the Inspector General

208
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: and the findings of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility

209
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: and the recommendation of the department's senior career official, I

210
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe, effective immediately. And

211
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe comes out with the defense of himself, etcetera, etcetera,

212
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: and I guess he's now lawyered up. I thought the

213
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: funniest thing I read over the weekend. I kept notes

214
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: to just every note I kept with it With Trump,

215
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: I kept it. What's he trying to do? Is trying

216
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: to threaten Trump or scare Trump? Okay? And he handed

217
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: it over to Robert Mueller. Let me see, that's about

218
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: as credible as Susan Rice. On the day that Trump

219
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: has inaugurated, writing about a meeting that had taken place

220
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: fifteen days ago, No to self, Obama said, do it

221
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: by the book. No to self, Obama said, do it

222
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: by the book that I mentioned. Do it by the book.

223
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: Obama said that from a meeting fifteen days ago. Obama said,

224
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: do it by the book because they're all scared to death.

225
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: They never thought Trump was gonna win. Trump wins. And

226
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: now all of this corruption is now being exposed. And

227
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe can put out any issue he wants. How

228
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: does he deal with the fact his own FBI and

229
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: the Inspector General determined that he lied repeatedly under oath.

230
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: And for this to happen before the inspector General report

231
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: comes out is unbelievable. I'm gonna get to all the

232
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: details surrounding this, the insanity of the media this weekend,

233
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: the hysteria. Donald Trump just said this special counsel never

234
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: should have been put together. Okay, he's by the way,

235
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: he's allowed to say it, and that's obstruction, not obstruction.

236
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: He's about to fire. We're gonna have a constitutional crisis

237
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: in America. No, we're not, because he's not. They shoued

238
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: a statement less they have no intention of firing moll

239
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: earl though, frankly, Muller needs to get his you know,

240
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: act together and get his band of married Democratic donors

241
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: to come up with whatever their conclusion is and show

242
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: America the evidence. All right, as we roll along Sean

243
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: Hannity Show one, Shawn, you want to be a part

244
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: of the program, And I'm watching Republicans and like always,

245
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: they're just weak and pathetic and not understanding pretty much.

246
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: I was so disappointed to Marco Rubio some comments by

247
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happened to Trey Goudy over the years,

248
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: but I mean, he does not seem like the same

249
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: person that I once knew. But putting all of that aside,

250
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: some of these people are losing their minds. You you

251
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: have the FBI itself, you have the Inspector General. They're

252
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: all saying that McCabe lied under oath repeatedly. Now, you

253
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: can't have a credibly accused person at the number two

254
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: job in the number one agency in the country, you know,

255
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: acting this way. And you certainly can't keep a credibly

256
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: accused criminal on the FBI's payroll and let alone pay

257
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: him millions of dollars on his way out the door.

258
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: And you know they are saying, not Donald Trump, well,

259
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump saying it, but they proved it. They're the

260
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: ones that have the information, they're the ones that did

261
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: their investigation. That McCabe's lying in Leaky is just the

262
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg. But I'm telling you, by the

263
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: time all the facts are known about McCabe, for them

264
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: to act this dramatically about how McCabe is hijacked literally

265
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: the FBI during the election, we're gonna find out that

266
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: single handedly he did more. And this is where it

267
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: goes to a comment that I read from James Calstrom

268
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: over the weekend. James Calstrom said, high ranking people, and

269
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: James Calstrom is a former assistant FBI director himself, and

270
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: he literally said high ranking people throughout the government had

271
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: a plot to protect Hillary Clinton from being indicted. Well,

272
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: it certainly seems that way. It certainly seems like Struck

273
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: and Paige and McCabe and their little insurance policy and

274
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: the little Trump hating cabal were in the in the

275
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: fixing it for Hillary Clinton business. I don't think there's

276
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: any doubt about it. But what we have unfolding before

277
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: us is a reckoning of the deep state and those

278
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: few people at the top that were corrupt. Now it

279
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: gets into all the evidence that Hillary had in fact

280
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: broken the law, obstructed justice, mishandled, destroyed classified information. And

281
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: then of course then then we have the whole fixed

282
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: being in with everybody involved in exoneration before an investigation.

283
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: That's Jim's Comey's doing, you know, Mr Sanctimoni himself. I

284
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: had a lot to say to Jim Comey over the

285
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: weekend on Twitter. We'll get to that. We also have

286
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: this sad case in Austin, Texas, two more bombings that

287
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,239
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you out next. There's still a significant

288
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: amount of evidence. As you can imagine with a blast

289
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: scene like this, the evidence is thrown across quite a

290
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: significant distance and it's going to take us a while

291
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 1: to methodically go through and collect this evidence so that

292
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: we make sure we get it right. What I can

293
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: tell you is based on the preliminary review that we

294
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: have done at this time, we have seen similarities in

295
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: the device that exploded here last night and the other

296
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: three devices that have exploded in Austin starting on March second. Again,

297
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: this is preliminary information that we have seen similarities. The

298
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: big difference in this device again is we believe that

299
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: a trip wire was used in this device. In the past,

300
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: we've been talking about the importance of not touching suspicious packages,

301
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: not moving packages, not handling packages. The belief that we

302
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: are now dealing with someone who's using trip wires shows

303
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: a higher level of sophistication, a higher level of skill.

304
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: And so now what we are imploring the commune to

305
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: need to do. If you see any suspicious object or

306
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: item that looks out of place, do not even approach it,

307
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: but instead call nine one one and report that to

308
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: the police department so we can send folks out to

309
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: check that and ensure that it is safe. So again,

310
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: do not approach these suspicious items. Anything that you may see,

311
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: whether it be a bag, of backpack, of box. And

312
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: again this is why we haven't avoided giving specific descriptions

313
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: of the prior three devices because it was never confirmed

314
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: that that would be the design that this suspect or

315
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: suspects would stick with. So that's the important message today

316
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: to this community is make sure that you are safe

317
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: and make sure you contact us if you see something

318
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: that looks suspicious or that looks out of place. All right,

319
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: that was the Austin Police Department on edge after another

320
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: explosion leaving too injured injured. Cause of the blast at

321
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: this moment is unclear. I mean, this is now how

322
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: many times that this has happened. Police have also appealed

323
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: to the bomb maker, raising the award money for tips.

324
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: They're not ruling out the possibility of a trip wire

325
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: type bomb in this particular case, and police believe. I mean,

326
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious that this blast is related

327
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: to the other blast down in Austin. To think otherwise,

328
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: I think would be foolish. Um and the explosion that

329
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: injured two in southwest Austin. You know again they think

330
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: as a trip wire joining us now to way in

331
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: on it. We have Jonathan Gilham, Navy Seal, former FBI agent,

332
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: author of the book Sheep No More. Buck Sexton, host

333
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: of his own show America Now, former CIA agent, NYPD

334
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: Intelligence Division specialist. I look at this, Buck, and it

335
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: looks like we've got ourselves a bomber here on the sidelines,

336
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: and so far it doesn't look like we have a

337
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: whole lot of clues. Yes, Sean, it's a serial bomber situation,

338
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: and law enforcement doesn't have a lot to work with

339
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: right now. They've had some persons of interest, none of

340
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: that has panned out when we've been told so far.

341
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: They're relying on the community. That's while you have that

342
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollar plus bounty that's out there. Part of

343
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: the problem here is that analysis of explosive devices, analysis

344
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: of bombs like this is painstaking. It's a slow process.

345
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: And if you're if you're looking for DNA, for example,

346
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: on some part on the on the trigger, on the switch,

347
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, that's going to take some time

348
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: to be able to sift through and actually have a

349
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: sense of whether or not you have a clue, uh

350
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: something that points towards a suspect. And they don't even

351
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: have a basis for any kind of motive here either.

352
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: So it's a race against the clock and the authorities

353
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: are kind of in the dark at this point on

354
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: who's doing it and why they're doing it. Yeah, what's

355
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: your take, Jonathan, And where does law enforcement go from here? Well,

356
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting because I think one thing that

357
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: they're doing is, of course they're looking at the internals

358
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: of these explosive devices. Is the to try to get

359
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: the footprint of of this type of device. You know,

360
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: where can they track where the explosives are coming from?

361
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: What type of explosives are they to see if this

362
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: is a pattern that this individual uses, also the internals

363
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: of it. Yet, remember the Morrow Federal Building when it

364
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: was blown up by Timothy McVeigh. What broke that case

365
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: wide open was they found a piece of metal with

366
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: the serial number from the Ryder rental truck that he

367
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: had rented. So there's you follow all these different leads

368
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: and you see where they'll take you. And a lot

369
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: of the times, uh, you know, explosives are not that

370
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: easy to get, so what they look at may tell

371
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: them quite a bit about the individual. But in the

372
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: case where he moved from, you know, bombs that were

373
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 1: basically set on people's porches with a UM switch. When

374
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: they open up, the package of pressure pressure switch goes

375
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: off to Now having a trip wire, it's much more

376
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: difficult because you can put these trip wires anywhere, especially

377
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: if there's grass and there's a path that goes to

378
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: the grass, you can put something down there. So it's

379
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: it's a more difficult thing for civilians to spot as well.

380
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: So what are they going to be looking for in

381
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: the near future, buck Well, they're asking if anybody has

382
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: any of any clues or or any sense of who

383
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: this might be. So the biggest break they could possibly get,

384
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: Sean would be if somebody comes forward, either for the

385
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: reward or just out of a sense of of common decency.

386
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 1: You may get some posting somewhere from the actual serial

387
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: bomber himself, assuming it's a him. Uh, you may actually

388
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: have something to work with in the perspective of a

389
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: manifesto or why this person would be doing it. It

390
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: seems so random at this point. It it looks like

391
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: we may be uh in a situation where there's some

392
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: political motivation. We have no idea what that would be,

393
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: so that would be something that would be useful. And

394
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: and then just to Jonathan's point, You're you're hoping to

395
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: get of some information from that. All we really have

396
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: your seawan or injured injured and killed people and and

397
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: devices that have exploded. There's really not much to work

398
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: with beyond that. So in the forensic analysis of the

399
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: actual i e. D s in this case, you're just

400
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: going to Well, the one thing that you've got to

401
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: remember is there's more cameras around Jonathan than we've ever

402
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: had in our lives. You would think, you know, when

403
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: this happens again and again, that they're gonna slip up

404
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get caught on camera, and then they're

405
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: gonna publish those photos. And I think that's probably the

406
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: most likely way we get them though, what do you

407
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: would think, Sean? But you know, I assisted in the

408
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: time the first Time Square bombing case in two thousand

409
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: and eight where uh, an anarchist wrote up on a

410
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: bicycle and put a pipe bomb at three in the

411
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: morning on the recruitment station in Times Square and there,

412
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: you know, there's cameras everywhere there, uh and they saw

413
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: the guy in the entire path that he took, but

414
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: we couldn't identify him because the cameras are too far away,

415
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: so that that's where and most people don't have cameras

416
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: on their homes. Um, so I think really tell you true, Sean,

417
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, in most of the case is

418
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: that I've seen, whether it be a bomber or a shooter.

419
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: If we look at the past, there are people that

420
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: know this person and would suspect him right away, Timothy,

421
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: not Timothy mcbabe, but the UNI bomber, you know, tedcause

422
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: there were people that it was his own brother that

423
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: gave him up if I remember that case correctly, right, Well, yeah,

424
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: that's correct. Yeah, alright, guys, thank you. We're going to

425
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: continue to update people on the situation while more on

426
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: Hannaday tonight. Buck, thank you, Jonathan, Thank you nine for one, Seawn,

427
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.

428
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: One of the tweets the President pointed out this weekend,

429
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: he said, Andrew McCabe's fired. He's had a great day

430
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: for the hard working men and women of the FBI

431
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: and for democracy. You know, if you look at everything

432
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: that we know about McCabe and what the i G

433
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: Is saying and what the FBI is saying, is you know,

434
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: this is a guy that committed crimes lied to FBI investigators.

435
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: I thought that's what General Flynn was charged with illegally

436
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: leaked to the press light under oath um. These are

437
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: all major crimes year. And this is not Donald Trump

438
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: saying it. This is the FBI saying that. This is

439
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: the Inspector General saying it. I mean, when everything that

440
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: we seem to to know now is that how all

441
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: of these people involved in this literally trying to hijack

442
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: the election because they thought they knew better than the

443
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: American people, and they did everything that they could do

444
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: to protect Hillary Clinton. And I'm talking about McCabe and

445
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: Struck and and Lisa Page and call me and you

446
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: know they all took a deep dive for Hillary Clinton. Now,

447
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: Hillary could have, in my view, confessed to kidnapping and

448
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: they wouldn't get in trouble. You're gonna have documentation, we

449
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: could have a video of it, and it seems these

450
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: people would have letten her off. You know, she could

451
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: have confessed to all of it. It wouldn't have mattered.

452
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: You know, you've got a fake news dossier You've got

453
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: which you know, we know they lied to the FISA court.

454
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: We know that McCabe tried to bury the news for

455
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: over a month that the FBI had found thousands of

456
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton State Department emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop. I

457
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: went back and checked the original reports and guess what.

458
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: The investigators who originally found the emails weren't the FBI.

459
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: That was an NYPD investigation. And but for the n

460
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: y p D find find to get the FBI already

461
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: had it. And then the UK Daily Mail broke that

462
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: the news that the NYPD had discovered That was five

463
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: days before Comey revealed that the FBI was involved. We're

464
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: we're heading into an election here, and they've done so

465
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: much up to that point to literally, you know, protect

466
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. And that's why, you know, if you look

467
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: at everything that we are talking about here, this is

468
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: all basic and fundamental. And I'll get to this in

469
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: the next hour. But you know, what did what did

470
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: Comey know about McCabe's conduct and about his leaking and lying?

471
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: Did he know anything? You know? By the way, why

472
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: did Comey say, oh that dossier, why did he tell

473
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Trump Tower twenty seventeen January before the inauguration. Oh,

474
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: it's salacious and unverified. But yet that was used as

475
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: the bulk of information to obtain a FISA court surveillance

476
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: warr and against Carter Page and the Trump campaign. You know,

477
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: and then you've got the whole Did they ever check

478
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: to see if you know, who paid for the Russian tossier?

479
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: When did they know that Hillary paid for it or

480
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: the d n C paid for it? You know who

481
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: paid Christopher Steele? Besides the money that they actually funneled

482
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: through Perkins cooheie. You know, did they know that Steele

483
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: had these Russian sources? Does the FBI not have an

484
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: obligation here to verify such salacious details that come from Russians,

485
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: that come from the Hillary campaign that hires Fusion GPS,

486
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: that funnels money into a law firm that Obama used

487
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: in against Mitt Romney. You know, what did they know about?

488
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: How do you exonerate somebody? And I know so many

489
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: law enforcement not not one person in law enforcement, not

490
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: one has ever heard of exonerating somebody before interviewing and

491
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: investigating them and exonerating them and drafting the exoneration months

492
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: before mishandling classified information eighteen USC seven. It's a felony.

493
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: Destroying such is a felony if you. In fact, if

494
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: you're subpoenaed by the government or by Congress to give

495
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: over information, don't go delete the emails and think you're

496
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: gonna get away with it. Most of you will not

497
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: unless your name is Clinton. And then, by the way,

498
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: when you're done deleting them, and then you go out

499
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: and acid wash or hard drive and bust up your

500
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: blackberries and your other devices with a hammer. That sounds

501
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: like you're obstructing justice in anybody else's world. They knew

502
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: all of this, and they wanted Hillary to run, and

503
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: there's a result of them wanting to keep her in

504
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: the game. They didn't care that she mishandled classified information.

505
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: They didn't care that she destroyed it. They didn't care

506
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: that she deleted they didn't care that she acid washed,

507
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: they didn't care that she destroyed devices. They didn't care

508
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: about any of it. The FBI then gets a dossier

509
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: and literally uses the Clinton bought and paid for dossie,

510
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: which they knew. And by the way, this is not

511
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: the FBI. These are the top people at the FBI.

512
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: This is McCabe, Comey, Struck and Page and Loretta Lynch,

513
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: and they didn't do anything about it. And Rod Rosenstein.

514
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: I think is up to his eyeballs and his ass

515
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: in this too. And oh well, Donald Trump's frustrated. How

516
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: could you blame him for being frustrated because we have

517
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: real evidence of real crimes that were really committed, and

518
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: everybody at the highest levels of law enforcement covered them up.

519
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: There's not one of you in this audience that ever

520
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: would get away with this garbage. Can you imagine if

521
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: the FBI found out they subpoenaed Hannity's emails, Hannity deletes them,

522
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: Hannity acid washes his hard drive with bleach pit. Hannity

523
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: then busts up every single device that the my my iPad,

524
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: my iPhone, my BlackBerry. I don't have a BlackBerry. I

525
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: bust them all. I get Linda to bust them with

526
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: a hammer. I make her, I put in front of

527
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: her her hateless, so she really bust them up. Good,

528
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: What do you think is gonna happen? And these weak

529
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: were let Mueller do there? Old Donald Trump said, as

530
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: none of this should have happened, And he's right, none

531
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: of this should have happened. And then you got McCabe

532
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: thinking he's all tough. I handed over Trump notes. Oh okay,

533
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: so did you call me? And so did Susan Rice

534
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: with her c y A. You know, I gotta tell

535
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: you it gets to the point when are the real

536
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: crimes gonna be investigated? You know, some idiot over at

537
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: CNN says this week, oh Hannity won this week. McCabe

538
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: is no, Hannity was right. I don't take any pleasure

539
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: and the fact that our top law enforcement I don't

540
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: want Americans to paint with a broad brush because this

541
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: is not the FBI that we know. This is not

542
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,239
Speaker 1: the men and women of the FBI. This is not

543
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: the men and women a law enforcement. This is an

544
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: anomaly of the top people in the Deep State that

545
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: have all the power. And you know, if you looked

546
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: at the Daily Caller in their articles, you know you

547
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: have Calstrom saying, yeah, high ranking people throughout government protected

548
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton from being indicted. That's all true. What's happening

549
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: is the deep state their day of reckoning has begun.

550
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: And mccame McCay, by the way, made life hell for Comey.

551
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: Comey stood in the way of the Clinton email investigation. Oh,

552
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: FBI agents are saying that FBI agents are fed up

553
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: with their reputations being soul lead needlessly because of the

554
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: actions of a few. And I don't blame them, but

555
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: don't fall into that trap. Most people in intelligence CIA,

556
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: if they're good people, not these people. Rather than race

557
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: through all of the details here, Um, there's so much happening,

558
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: so much you need to understand. We have Sarah Carter

559
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: and David shown for the next hour. We're we're just

560
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: gonna do a deep dive into everything that's happened over

561
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: the weekend. Also, we have the first exclusive interview Peter Schweitzer,

562
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: who wrote Clinton Cash as a brand new book out

563
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: three years later, Secret Empires How the American political class

564
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: hide's corruption and enriches family and friends. He will join

565
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: us coming up as well today and we're monitoring all

566
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: the events out of Austin. Eight nine for one, Shaun

567
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: is a number you want to be a part of

568
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: the program. Our to Sean Hannity's shows. So Friday night,

569
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: as we are doing Hannity, we literally a sitting there

570
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: waiting on the news expecting the news that in fact,

571
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe is gonna be fired. It happens just as

572
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm signing off at nine into the ten o'clock hour

573
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: and Uh, but it's very interesting. The statement, as we

574
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: have been discussing, came out from the Attorney General Jeff

575
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: Sessions after an extensive and fair investigation. According to the

576
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: Department of Justice procedure, the deportment that the Department of

577
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: Office of Inspector General provided its report on allegations of

578
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: misconduct by Andrew McCabe to the FBI's Office of Professional

579
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: Responsibility o p R. Now, the FBI s o p

580
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: R then reviewed the report and the underlying documents that

581
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: issued a disciplinary proposal recommending the dismissal of Mr McCabe.

582
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: Now let me stop there. It wasn't Donald Trump firing

583
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe. That there is a process within the Department

584
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: of Justice and the FBI and the Office of Professional

585
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: Responsibility anyway, So uh, Attorney General Sessions goes on both

586
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: the o i G. The FBI s o PR reports

587
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: concluded that Mr McCabe made an unauthorized disclosure to the

588
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: news media, lacked hander including under oath on multiple occasions,

589
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: and the FBI expects every employee to adhere to the

590
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: highest standards of honesty, integrity, and accountability. And as the

591
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: OPR proposal stated, all FBI employees know that lacking candor

592
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: under oath results in dismissal, and that our integrity is

593
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: our brand, and pursue it. Pursue into the Department Order

594
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: twelve o two, based on the report of the Inspector General,

595
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: the findings of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility, and

596
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: the recommendations of the Department senior career official, I have

597
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe, effective immediately. Alright, so

598
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe fires back. We'll get back into his statement

599
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: in just a second, but I want to do a

600
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: deep dive into what all of this means because as

601
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: I watched the coverage all weekend long, of course the

602
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: media gets it wrong and they're insinuating, and they're suggesting

603
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: that in fact, Donald Trump did this. We've known an

604
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: awful lot about Andrew McCabe for a long time, and

605
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: I have said for a long time, based on truth,

606
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: based on ethics, basised on evidence, that Andrew McCabe could

607
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: have and should have been fired a long time ago.

608
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing that James Comey. We

609
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: now know more about him than ever before. He deserved

610
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: to be fired. Why Lisa Page and who was the

611
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: attorney basically, or the council that Andrew McCabe relied on

612
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: and Peter Struck, why haven't they been fired anyway? Here

613
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: to join us in all of this, we have Sarah Carter,

614
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: Fox News contributor, investigative reporter, David Shown, civil rights and

615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: criminal defense attorney. Welcome both of you. All right, let's start.

616
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: Let's start with you know, before we even got into this,

617
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: we had the release of newly obtained text messages that

618
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: we talked about during the Friday Hour on Hannity between

619
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: Struck and Page, and it revealed, of course, new damning information.

620
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: And we tell it turns out that Struck was friends

621
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: with the federal judge Rudolph Contreris who now sits on

622
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,479
Speaker 1: the FISA Court, and the romantic couple, the two Trump

623
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: paters and Hillary lovers. Struck in Page, we're also messaging

624
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: back and forth about the best way to talk to

625
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: and communicate with Judge Contreris, and we have this long

626
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: exchange Sarah Carter. Yes, Uh, the revelations were astounding because Sean,

627
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: remember this has been the question has been lingering for

628
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: months now, why did Contreris refuse himself? In December seven,

629
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen from the case, and nobody had a

630
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: straight answer. I mean, neither did we get We didn't

631
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: really get a statement from Contreris. Nobody's seen any statement

632
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: from Judge Contreras, and courts only suggested that he had

633
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: been refused. They had refused him from the case. And

634
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: now we see these text messages back and forth, which

635
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: were by the way, kept from Congress. They were redacted

636
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: from the documents Congress turned. Oh, I mean from the

637
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: documents that the DJ turned over to Congress. So all

638
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, they go back. Do you

639
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: have investigators going back from the House Oversight Committee to

640
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: check these documents out, and all of a sudden they

641
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: discover lo and behold that that both Struck and Paige

642
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: were discussing Contreras, that they were discussing their close relationship

643
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: with Rudy, and they were also discussing the fact that

644
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: they had to be very careful, and especially Struck and

645
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: how he approached him because he was such good friends

646
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: with him that he wouldn't want him to have to

647
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: recuse himself because he found out that Contreras had been

648
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: moved to the Fifth Court, that's the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance

649
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: Court that he would be going to to get warrants

650
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: to spy basically on Americans and foreigners. So this was

651
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: really a fascinating, a huge development. It changed everything, and

652
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: it's actually something that the attorneys for Michael Flynn, remember

653
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: Contreras presided over the December one Michael Flynn guilty ply

654
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: that they did not know about according to the sources

655
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: I've spoken it. So why did the d o J

656
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: keep this from Congress? Why did they Why were they

657
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: not forced coming with this information? And it makes me

658
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: wonder how much more information they have that they haven't disclosed.

659
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: We know there are fifty thousand supposed text messages and

660
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: and we're at about the one thousand mark, and they

661
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: buried this over the Department of Justice. And the only

662
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: way we got a hold of it is because two congressmen,

663
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: Jordan's and Meadows, sent over the staffers and they just

664
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: happened to pick up on all of this. David Shone

665
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: will go to you. I mean, when they're talking about, oh,

666
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: our our best friend is on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

667
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: By the way, he's the guy we had this great mystery.

668
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: Why did he accept General Michael Flynn's plea, And in

669
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: that particular case, General Flynn was interviewed also by Peter Struck,

670
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: So there's a conflict in the beginning, and then after

671
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: he accepts General Flynn's plea, he recuses himself after that

672
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: would never be the natural order of things, absolutely correct,

673
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: And uh look, I mean, you know, Sarah hit on

674
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: the depth of this uh scandal, but I think the

675
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: single most uh shocking fact is direct messaging to and

676
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: from a judge, federal judge, not just any federal judge,

677
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: as you pointed out with sanity, a judge who sits

678
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: on the FISI Court. Again, as we said before, there

679
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: is probably no more sensitive secretive procedure in our American

680
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: government than what goes on in the FISI Court. To

681
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: have corruption or a conflict or even untoward conduct that

682
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: at least suggests some uh impropriety or peers of impropriety

683
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: is beyond the pale. And it's simply not getting the

684
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: coverage that it should be. Well, nothing's getting the coverage

685
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: that it should be because the media in this country

686
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: is corrupt, their agenda driven, and they've lied to the

687
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: American people for over a year. But when they specifically

688
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: talk about judge Contraris and how they know each other,

689
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: and how Peter Struck is very straightforward. Oh he knows

690
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: what I do. And yet he's even pointing out that

691
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: any s pionage fis a case that comes before him.

692
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm in charge of espionage for the FBI. There's a

693
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: very sharp regulation on who and how contact is to

694
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: be made with the FISA Court for very good reason,

695
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: because it is a secretive, x part day court. That's

696
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: not a normal part of our system. The default in

697
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: our system, as you well know, is transparency and openness,

698
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: right to the public to know what's happening. That's not

699
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: the case with the court. It's a narrow exception carved

700
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: out for very specific national security reasons. We can't have

701
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: this kind of conduct. And frankly, the judge must be

702
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: put under investigation right away as well. You can try

703
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: us in this particular case. And you know, don't. We

704
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: believe that there were four separate visa judges, all of

705
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: them lie to all of them had a glaring omission

706
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: on the dossier. Uh, they were never told that the

707
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: dossier was unverified. They never were told that it wasn't

708
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: corroborated as per FIS FISAL law as per FBI protocol.

709
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter, Well, we know if there were four separate judges.

710
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: Were not quite sure on that yet, because we haven't

711
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: been able to find out who actually signed off on these.

712
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: That's why we don't know if Contreris was one of them,

713
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: if Judge Contraris was one of them. And this is

714
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: the reason why, I mean, even Carter Page himself is

715
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: not objecting to having these applications go public. He wants that,

716
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: and even more importantly, the FISC court itself wants has

717
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: no objection to have the applications go public so we

718
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: know what was going on. And I think David brought

719
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: up such an important point here. This is the only

720
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: court where we don't have any visibility and where the

721
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: person who when the FBI seeks the warrant on this

722
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: person has really no ability to defend themselves against the accusations.

723
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: That's why these FISA warrant applications, why these applications are

724
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: so intensive they're supposed to be. You know, some people

725
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: I've talked to said it sometimes takes about sixty pages,

726
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, to fill these things out. And you know,

727
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: the past people were terrified about filling these things out

728
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: on Americans because they didn't want anything to come back

729
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: and haunt them. So it was a very very low,

730
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: low profile. When you see that when they try to

731
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: get an application on an American, it would be it

732
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: would be very minimal. Some people said in their entire careers,

733
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: as you know, in law enforcement, they'd only do two

734
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: of them on Americans or three. All right, yeah, go ahead, yeah,

735
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: you know. But but let me go to McCabe. McCabe

736
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: is being accused of lying to FBI investigators and illegally

737
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: listened leaking to the press, and he lied under oath. Now,

738
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: you cannot have any credibility, um, if you're the number

739
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: two top law enforcement person in the country and you

740
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: don't have credibility when you're lying and lying under oath

741
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: in particular, Now, either he did or he didn't. Now

742
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: the if you look at specifically the Office of Professional Responsibility,

743
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: the FBI themselves, they're saying that happened. The reason that

744
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: I guess, uh than the new FBI Director Ray demoted

745
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: him was because of what he knew was coming in

746
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: the Inspector General report, you know, and as as the

747
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: statement of the Attorney General Jeff session said, you know,

748
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: every employee knows that if they lack candor under oath,

749
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: it's immediate dismissal. And everybody's saying, well, it has to

750
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: do with his pension. Democrats are offering to let him

751
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: work for two days. But the bottom line is you've

752
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: got Peter Struck, Lisa Page, you got McCabe, you got Comey,

753
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: And the reality is we all know Hillary committed felonies.

754
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: We know that a ten USC you can't mishandle classified

755
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: top secret Special Access Program information. We know that you

756
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: can't take subpoena at emails, delete them, acid wash them,

757
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: and then break up any devices you have where the

758
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: emails might appear. That's called obstruction of justice. Where I

759
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: come from, David Show, Well, I tell you know you're

760
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: is very interesting issues here, Mr Hanney. But I'll tell

761
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: you you know, there is an alternative, of course, to

762
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: the idea that Mr McCabe was lying, and that alternative

763
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: would necessarily be that Mr Coley was lying, or it

764
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: could be that they're both lying. Frankly, and that's part

765
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: of the problem this mccaban's and it has raised for

766
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: UH former Director Comy, especially if one considers Mr McCabe's statement.

767
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: I know you said, Um, you intend to get to

768
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: that statement later. I don't want to steal your thunder,

769
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: but I have to say this. You know, um you

770
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: read from Mr Sessions statement. One of the most interesting

771
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: things in McCabe's statement that uh, that hasn't gotten much

772
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: coverage yet, is the idea that he's blaming not just

773
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: we see the press blaming President Trump and so on,

774
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: But McCabe doesn't just blame Trump. He blames the Inspector General.

775
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: He says specifically in his statement that the O i G.

776
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: S focus on me, and this report became a part

777
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: of an unprecedented effort by the administration, driven by the

778
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: President himself, to remove me from my position, destroy my reputation,

779
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: possibly stripped move pension, etcetera. So it's all about McCabe,

780
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: first of all. But secondly, he's now accusing the o

781
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: i G. Mr Horowitz of collusion with the President. No

782
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: one has suggested that yet. And again, as I've said before,

783
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: I've known Mr Harwoods a long time. People may agree

784
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: or disagree with findings particular case, he's an honest man

785
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: and he's certainly not directly associated with President Trump. By

786
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: any way means listen, he's an Obama pointee. I'm frankly

787
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: suspicious of him, just like everybody that works from Mueller

788
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: is uh is is a donor to either Hillary Obama

789
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: or the d n C. For crying out lot. All right,

790
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue. We'll do our deep dive. Here. We

791
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: have Sarah Carter, David shone with US eight nine one.

792
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: Shawn is our number. We have a lot more to

793
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: get into regarding all of these issues, and as we

794
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: continue our discussion of the firing of McCabe, Sarah Carter

795
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: David shown are with US. UM So the President goes

796
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: out this weekend and the President says, yeah, this guy

797
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: was corrupt. He talked about Comey. Yeah, Comey is corrupt.

798
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: I put out a series of questions. I don't know

799
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: if either one of you saw them on Twitter for

800
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: James Comey, and an invitation for James come to join

801
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: us for three hours on this radio program him and

802
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: one hour on Hannity on the Fox News Channel. I

803
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: know he's going over to the Clinton's bff George Stephanopolis

804
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: and Trump paid Stephen Colbert and the view where they

805
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: hate all things Trump. I'd like to see James Comey

806
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: answer some important questions, Sarah Carter. James Comey needs to

807
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: answer those questions, Sean, and he will have to answer

808
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: those questions. And I think David was right when he

809
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: pointed out the fact that even in in McCabe's own statement,

810
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: the one that he made, uh directly, I mean it

811
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: was within minutes he already look, McCabe already knew this

812
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: was coming. He lied to the FBI. That's that's a

813
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: defense of fire bowl offense. He could also be charged,

814
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: and what I'm hearing from my sources, he will be charged, uh,

815
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, uh, for for for lying and possibly for

816
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: other issues obstruction as one of them. And now he's

817
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: coming out swinging and he kind of wrapped comb up

818
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: into his big mess because one of them either both

819
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: are lying on one of them's lying because Comey testify

820
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 1: that he never authorized leaks, so he needs he needs

821
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: to address that directly. And kind of important here is

822
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: that we have to take into consideration that when you

823
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: Trump's tweets, I mean, if this was the first time

824
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: you ever mentioned Robert Mueller directly and this investigation, I mean,

825
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,399
Speaker 1: it feels like and he says he's on a witch

826
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: they're on a witch hunt. He's they're coming after him,

827
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: But he has a right to defend himself too, and

828
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: he has a right to defend himself. And I think

829
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: what's even more interesting is the fact that you have

830
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: all of these congressional members who came out and said, well,

831
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 1: it'll be the end of his presidency if he if

832
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: he fires Mueller, if he comes after Mueller. But some

833
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: of those same Republicans who came out and said that,

834
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: they also asked for a second special counsel to investigate

835
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: the investigators. So they're basically saying, yeah, keep the Mueller

836
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: investigation going. Uh, and now let's get a second special

837
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: counsel to investigate the investigators. But we don't want anything

838
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: to happen to Mueller because we we suspect that Mueller's

839
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: investigation is gonna he's gonna uphold the laws of here

840
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: and and the balance of justice. Well, for a lot

841
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: of people, that isn't the case. He's looking for a crime.

842
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: And and especially to the President and others that are

843
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: that are concerned about this, they're afraid that Mueller is

844
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: in search of a crime, in search of a crime,

845
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: and he's going to try to find one. Mueller was

846
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: given a broad sweeping mandate by Rod Rosenstein, who we

847
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: believe argued for and used as a justification for in

848
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: the subsequent renewal applications for FISA. Didn't Rod Rosenstein, Uh

849
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: sign off on on the second one. We have to

850
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: go to a break here. We'll continue straight ahead now

851
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: till the top of the hour. Toll free on numbers

852
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: nine one, Sean, if you want to join us, We

853
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: continue with Sarah Carter, investigative reporter, David Shown, civil rights

854
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: and criminal defense attorney. Uh. So this weekend, Um James

855
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: sanctimonious comy goes out there. He's got this book that's

856
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: coming out in the middle of April, and I think

857
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I see a

858
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: guy that has a lot of potential legal and criminal

859
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: issues standing before him. I don't know a single lawyer

860
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: that would advise him to not only do the book,

861
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 1: but go on a book tour. Although he's doing really

862
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: easy interviews. He's going on with Clinton, Sycophan, Georgie Stepanopolos,

863
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: and then he's going on Late Night with Stephen Colbert,

864
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: and then he's going on with the ladies of the view,

865
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: and I have no doubt that Megan McCain will get

866
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: one question and one question only. So he writes this

867
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: weekend on Twitter, as he often does in his high

868
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: flutants holly of than now sanctimonious way, Mr President, The

869
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: American people will hear my story very soon. They can

870
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: judge for themselves who is an honorable who is honorable,

871
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: and who is not. So I sent out a series

872
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: of tweets, Mr Comey, what did you know about McCabe

873
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: is leaking in his conduct considering he was his boss?

874
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: And then I said, was the unverified salacious assier? And

875
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: I used those specific words because Comey used them to

876
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: Trump in January? And we know that that salacious and

877
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 1: unverified document was used as the bulk of the fights

878
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: application three months earlier in October? Why didn't the FBI

879
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: verify and corroborate the dossier? Did you know that dossier

880
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: used Russian sources? And then I asked, Mr Comey, did

881
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: you know that Hillary Rodham Clinton paid for the lies,

882
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: the Russian lies in the dossier? Did you or anyone

883
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 1: at the FBI pay Christopher Steele? Did you ask Steele

884
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: about his Russian sources that he used in the dossier.

885
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: Did the FBI make any attempt to interview the Russian sources?

886
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: And then I said, did you ask the Fusion GPS

887
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: owners if they corroborated the Russian dossier? And why did

888
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 1: Hillary's campaign in the d n C funnel Fusion GPS

889
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: as payments and steals payments through this law firm Perkins Cooheie,

890
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: And what did you know about the efforts to pass

891
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: on the unverified, salacious dossier to a American media companies

892
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: in other words, lies propaganda to manipulate an election, and

893
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 1: working hand in hand with the corrupt media. And then

894
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,720
Speaker 1: I said, Mr Comey, why were you writing Hillary shonoration

895
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,439
Speaker 1: in Mayo sixteen, long before she was interviewed in July?

896
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: I said eighteen USC seven it's the illegal to mishandled classified,

897
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: top secret special access programmed information. Why was such information

898
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: mishandled by Hillary Rodham Clinton? And then I wrote did

899
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: Hillary mishandle such information by putting information on a server

900
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: and a mom and pop shop bathroom closet? And how

901
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: many foreign intelligence agencies do you believe hacked Hillary Rodham

902
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: Clinton server? What countries did Russia did China, did Iran?

903
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: Did North Korea hacking the Hillary server? And then I

904
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: asked Comey, a is it a crime to delete emails

905
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: that have been subpoenaed? And when Hillary deleted thirty three

906
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: thousand subpoena emails? Is that obstruction of justice? And what

907
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: about Hillary acid washing her hard drive with bleach bit?

908
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: And then I finally say this, Mr Comey, I know

909
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: your scheduled to be on Good Morning America with Clinton

910
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: b F F George Stephanopolis. I know your scheduled to

911
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: be on the Colbert Late Show and the view. Would

912
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: you accept my invitation? Am I missing a lot of

913
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: questions here? David shown no, But I think he's just

914
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: ruined your invitation by asking them. He wouldn't Dare come

915
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: on there. You look, you've given a great head start

916
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: to what will hopefully be the special counsel. You know

917
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: that he wouldn't Dare answer those questions? Uh in your forum,

918
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: in any forum, but certainly not when you're gonna be

919
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: relenting this with any dodging for any answers. Um, he should,

920
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: does a matter of business, go on your show. His

921
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: agent should book it because he'll sell more books. But

922
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll dare come on there. I hope

923
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: he will. Um, but I don't think you're missing I

924
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: don't think you're missing any questions you might add on

925
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: there about the circumstance of giving memos to a law

926
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: professor friend that were apparently for Congress instead. But I

927
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: guess that's, you know, one of many subjects. Um, Look,

928
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: we're seeing Mr Comey. Unfortunately this part of this culture

929
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: that public servants try to capitalize us on their ego

930
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: and on opportunities. So this book tour is gonna bring

931
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: in millions. He may rue the day that he decided

932
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: to have it, as some have suggested already, including you,

933
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: Maybe you're at the forefront, um, because he's gonna have

934
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: to answer some of these questions, and now he's gonna

935
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: have to answer the McCabe controversial. McCabe has certainly accused him.

936
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: McCabe's statement is certainly at odds with him cannot be

937
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: reconciled with what Mr Comey has he or his lawyer.

938
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: Would you allow him to write a book under any circumstances?

939
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: Would you represent him? No? Absolutely no. When I represent him, no,

940
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: if he made that bad decision, then maybe, but no,

941
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: I certainly would not advise him to and certainly not

942
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: at this stage and things he has no idea what's

943
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: still gonna surface. I want to touch on one other

944
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: subject that he raised earlier, and Sarah made a very

945
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: important point about, and it relates to Comy also, but

946
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: really to Mueller mostly. I'm I was surprised, maybe shocked,

947
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: even to see respectable members of Congress, our representatives, representatives

948
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: of people taking the position that to criticize them her

949
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: investigation or even to suggest that it should be stopped

950
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: is acting guilty, or that one should act like the

951
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: president should act like he's not guilty, the lawyer should

952
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: treat his clients if he's not guilty, and not stop

953
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: criticizing the investigation. That's an un American position to take.

954
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: The challenging of the integrity of investigation is an absolutely

955
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: fundamental avenue of Supreme Court is recognized for any sort

956
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: of prosecution. As a Sarah said far more eloquently than

957
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: I before. Um, it's a very dangerous situation when we

958
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: have allegations that someone is operating on an agenda. And

959
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: you've said this, Mr Hannity, it's when an investigation is

960
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: arguably politically motivated with a foregone conclusion as an agenda

961
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: that everyone should speak up and protest the investigation, guilty

962
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: or not guilty. So that that's one aspect of it.

963
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: But the other part of this is how short is

964
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: our institutional memory. It's just from between two thousand eleven

965
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: and two thousand seventeen, one after another source commented on

966
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: various scandals or mouth seasons that Mr Mueller had been

967
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: alved with. Certainly Mr Comey also in fact, a former

968
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: FBI agent legal counsel the FBI, wrote a piece about

969
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: various scandals that both Mueller and Comey were involved with

970
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: the chief personally witnessed, including lying and cover ups and

971
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But all of a sudden, Mr

972
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: Mueller is above the law. He's a hero. Um it's

973
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: not appropriate. Again, I welcome anyone to read any of

974
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: these sources, even such questionable sources we find in the

975
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: mainstream media that always are um glad handing Mr Mueller

976
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: these days. But you know, the New York Times raised

977
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: questions about him in the past, New York Post, the

978
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: Boston Globe for very specific reasons. And people should do

979
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: their homework. I saw we're gonna we're gonna do a

980
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: deep dive into who Robert Mueller is this week, so

981
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 1: stay tuned on that. But let me go back to

982
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: Sarah for a minute. So everybody got all worked up

983
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 1: this weekend when Donald Trump mentioned that the Mueller probe

984
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: should never have been started in the first place. There

985
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: was no collusion, was no crime. Now, you know, some

986
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: people were saying, well, if you're if you're innocent, you

987
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: would never say you're innocent. And I think it's just

988
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: the opposite. I think if I'm innocent, I'm gonna scream

989
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: it from the mountaintops. And it's amazing how the media

990
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: is somehow interpreted the president's belief that it never should

991
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: have been started and that a lot of it's based

992
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: on fraudulent activities, a fake dossier bought and paid for

993
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: by Hillary and the d n C and lying to

994
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 1: a FISA court. And uh, and I agree with the president.

995
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 1: We have evidence of real crimes. And fourteen months and later,

996
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: and we have no evidence of Trump Russia collusion at all,

997
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: not even in the case of anybody that Muller has indicted.

998
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: It feels like we're living in an altered universe. I mean,

999
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: where you're seeing all of this evidence still out against

1000
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: all of these players to the point where I mean

1001
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: they're being fired, they're being let go. Uh. And it's

1002
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: and it's not just the president firing, it is the

1003
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility. We have an Inspector General

1004
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: who is appointed by Obama, Michael Horowitz, who's very well

1005
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: respected on both sides of the aisle by both Republicans

1006
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: and Democrats, and even McCabe himself welcomed in the past,

1007
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:13,919
Speaker 1: welcomed Michael Horowitz conducting this investigation, even in even into

1008
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: even into McCabe, even into himself, he was fine with it.

1009
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: And here, you know, Horowitz finds all of this evidence,

1010
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: turns it over to o p R. He talks with

1011
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: Christopher Ray, the FBI director, who was at that point

1012
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: in time, basically backing, you know, his colleague there at

1013
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: the FBI McCabe. And then finally Ray said, I I

1014
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: gotta let you go. You can't come in. And even

1015
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: when he went in that Monday, the day that he

1016
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: was fired, you know, Sean, I know this from multiple sources.

1017
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: All of his boxes were packed, he was out of there.

1018
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: He wasn't allowed in the office anymore. I mean, everything

1019
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: was packed up for him. He was gone. How what

1020
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: do you think Christopher Ray discovered that day? What do

1021
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: you think o PR which is, by the way, has

1022
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: many of his friends work in OPR. Listen to the

1023
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: phony news media in this country. They made it sound

1024
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: all weekend like Donald Trump did this all. Donald Trump

1025
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: had every right to defend himself, and he obviously when

1026
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: you come out publicly and you're saying, look, there is

1027
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: no collusion here. And for fourteen months we've been waiting

1028
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: for Brennan or Clapper, all these people that keep coming

1029
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: out on Twitter, former Obama official, senior officials, people that

1030
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: were McCabe, the FBI, anybody give us evidence, if you

1031
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: have it, give it, put it out there in the public.

1032
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: And they've never been able to do that because there

1033
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: is no evidence of what about these articles this weekend

1034
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: FBI agent saying that Comey stood in the way of

1035
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: the Clinton email investigation, McCabe making life tougher for Comy,

1036
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, as he actually said this week and anyone

1037
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: out there and said, oh, by the way, I did

1038
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: all of this leaking with the approval of the director.

1039
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: So now we asked to answer that question, and then

1040
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: I would add to that and go back to the

1041
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: comment that was made by James Calstrom, which I thought

1042
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: was devastating that high ranking people throughout the government had

1043
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: a plot to protect Hillary from being United Now, that

1044
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: would be James Comey, that would be Peter Struck, that

1045
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: would be Andrew McCabe, that would be Lisa Page and

1046
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: probably Lauretta Lynch. And the reason is is they're gonna

1047
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: overlook her obvious felonies, a multitude of crimes, give a

1048
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: fixed and rigged investigation to keep her in the race

1049
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: and keep Donald Trump from being president of the United States.

1050
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: And then, oh boy, in the process, we've got an

1051
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: insurance policy because we lied to a FISA court with

1052
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: Hillary Boughton paid for Russian lines, and then we use

1053
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: those lines to get a FISA applicationist buy on the associate,

1054
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: which leads us into the emails of the entire Trump's system.

1055
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: So I cannot believe for a second here that what

1056
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: Callstrom is saying is overstated in any way. I think

1057
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: Callstrom nailed it, that there are deep state actors that

1058
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: thought they knew better than the American people. He did

1059
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: nail it. He didn't nail it, and he you know,

1060
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: the more you see the evidence on its face. This

1061
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: isn't just speculation that you were hearing it from their

1062
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: own words, from the text messages, from the emails, from

1063
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: the evidence, and the documents which they changed. Comy himself

1064
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: and other people at the FBI made significant changes in

1065
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: the reasons and the decision to exonerate Hillary Clinton. So

1066
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: I think Calstrom, who's who's a brilliant man, nailed it

1067
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: right on the head and he knows exactly what he's

1068
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: talking about. And this is the reason why a second

1069
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: special counsel is so necessary. Are we going to get that?

1070
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Are we getting a second special counsel? Because I don't see.

1071
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: You cannot have all of these top people doing what

1072
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: they're doing, all best friends, all suspect in terms of

1073
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: what their political motivations, are now investigating themselves because it's

1074
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: never gonna come out right. No, it will never come

1075
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: out right. And this is the reason why we need

1076
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: a second special counsel. And I do believe a second

1077
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: special counsel will be appointed. Remember this is coming also

1078
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: from Chairman Grassley, who's the head of the Senate Judiciary

1079
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: Committee and has quite a brand, and and tell us

1080
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: in corn In and now pretty much everybody is beginning

1081
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: to see that there's no other way out of this

1082
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: to investigate the investigators. All right, guys, stay right there.

1083
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: David shown Sarah Carter eight nine for one Shawn toll

1084
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: free telephone number. You want to be a part of

1085
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: the program. Peter Schweitzer a blockbuster, bombshell new book about

1086
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: how all your political friends in Washington they go there

1087
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: and they get really rich working there. Where do you

1088
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: hear the details of some of the crimes he's uncovering? Listen,

1089
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: I want to remind you about simply Safe. If you

1090
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: need to protect your home and family, and we all do,

1091
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: simply save home security is the latest, greatest, best technology

1092
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 1: on the market now. For example, if a storm takes

1093
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: out your power, simply Safe as ready. If an intruder

1094
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: cut your phone line, Simply Safe still works. Uh say

1095
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: the they destroy your keypad, your siren, Simply Safe will

1096
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: still get the help that you need. Now. It may

1097
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: be overkill in some ways. Maybe you don't need to

1098
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: be ready for every worst case scenario. But simply Safe is.

1099
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: And that's why the system is so great. It's always available,

1100
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: always is working, always ready. Now, Simply Safe could cost

1101
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: an arm and a leg it doesn't. Instead, they only

1102
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: charge you for what's fair twenty four hours professional monitoring,

1103
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: seven days a week a month, no installation feed, no

1104
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: contract to sign, no hidden fee at all. So I

1105
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 1: recommend Simply Safe. It's the best at home security, and

1106
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: just go to simply save Hannity dot Com today. Simply

01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Simply Safe Hannity dot Com. Quick break, right back, we'll continue,

1109
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: And as we continue, David Shown and Sarah Carter wrapping

1110
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: up this hour, our deep tive Andrew McCabe is fired.

1111
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Now we see that the House Intel Committee. Soon we'll

1112
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: be talking to the love birds struck in page uh.

1113
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: David Shown, I've got to imagine there's gonna be more firings.

1114
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: And to quote PJ Media and Roger Simon, the reckoning

1115
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: of the FBI in the deep state has begun. I

1116
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: suppose that's right. And I don't mean this to just

1117
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: glad hand, but you have to take a good bit

1118
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: of the credit for it. Quite frankly, Um, I was

1119
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: thinking a minute ago, if you were to do a

1120
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: retrospective one day when this all plays out, on how

1121
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: much of this you and then through Sarah's investigated reporting,

1122
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 1: really brought to light that would never have been brought

1123
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: to light otherwise. Frankly, because I think you care a

1124
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: great deal about the constitution and about the institutions. I think, uh,

1125
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: it will be amazed to see how many of these

1126
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: issues you really brought to the four. But you know,

1127
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: can I tell you one thing on that point. So

1128
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: some dope over at CNN this weekend, I somebody quoted

1129
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: it to me and sent me an article you know,

1130
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: literally says, well, Hannity won. Now he's the winner here

1131
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: because because Andrew mcabe was. Nobody wins. Nobody wins when

1132
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: you have high ranking government officials in a particular agency

1133
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: that I love and law enforcement that I love involved

1134
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: in this type of behavior. But with that said, it

1135
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: will destroy the country if it's not revealed, if they

1136
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: continue these antics and tactics and and scheming and plotting

1137
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: and planning. That right, And I'm quite frankly I've never

1138
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: heard you a gloat about the winning, because you don't.

1139
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: That's why I felt it necessary to at least give

1140
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: a bit of credit here. Um. But in an in

1141
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: any event, I think getting back to what you said,

1142
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, Sarah Ray is a very important point, and

1143
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: this is one of the many reasons why a special

1144
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,439
Speaker 1: counsel is the only viable option, as much as everyone

1145
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 1: dreads that, because we see these things never ending and

1146
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: going down every rabbit trail. But that is something again,

1147
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: it's Mr Radar Sarah just mentioned. It is that UM.

1148
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: The the O p R action is all the more

1149
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: remarkable because he does. Mr McCabe does have friends there.

1150
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: That's what's changing, maybe through your show, maybe through other

1151
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: UM hot points. Now I don't know what's causing it.

1152
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: Something's changing. You know. My my father was an FBI agent,

1153
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: so I have a great deal of admiration for the FBI,

1154
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: their heroes to me. But they've never really been held

1155
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: accountable from above before. And part of that the cost

1156
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: of this old boy network. They never thought Trump would

1157
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: win and they never thought this would come out. That's

1158
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: the problem one, Shawn, are toll free numbers. Thank you, Sarah,

1159
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: Thank you, David all Right, News rounds Up, Information Overload

1160
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity's show eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, if

1161
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. We're

1162
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: very proud of having the first interview with Peter Schweitzer

1163
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: when his book Clinton Cash came out, and how rich

1164
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: the Clintons. Uh, well, they enriched themselves in every aspect

1165
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: of their political career. And that brought up the whole

1166
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: issue of uranium one long before anybody else was talking

1167
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 1: about it, and he was the one that had figured

1168
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: it out. We since have taken that story a lot

1169
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: deeper and further, but he laid the strong foundation for it. Well,

1170
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: we have the first interview today. His new book is

1171
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: out and it's called Secret Empires. How the American political

1172
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 1: class hide corruption and enriched family and friends, asking very

1173
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: hard questions about past and current elected officials who are

1174
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: bilking the system. Um, how are you good to see again?

1175
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: Great to be here with you, Sean, Thanks for having

1176
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: me listen. The bottom line here is the amount of

1177
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: corrupt corruption and personal enrichment is breathtaking. Give a broad

1178
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: overview and then we'll get to the specifics. Well, a

1179
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: lot of times when people think of corruption, Sean, they

1180
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: think of, uh, you know Congressman Jefferson who had the

1181
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: ninety dollars cash in his refrigerator. Uh, I remember, I

1182
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: forgot what about it? Now? I remember? Exactly? Cold hard

1183
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: cash Jefferson. They called him that that is peanuts compared

1184
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: to what we're talking about. We're talking about people at

1185
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: the highest levels of government, for example, the Obama administration,

1186
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: whose family members are getting juiced into multi billion with

1187
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: a B dollar deals from foreign governments. So you know,

1188
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: gone with the days of the you know, the shoe

1189
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: box is full of cash. We're now talking about large

1190
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: private equity deals of a billion dollars or more that

1191
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: are enriching people on a massive scale. And of course

1192
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: there are strings attached with that money, and I think

1193
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: it's undermining the decision making in the country. Let's let's

1194
01:06:55,720 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: first name and maybe take this logically, the big most

1195
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: corrupt people you're exposing in this book Obama. George Soros,

1196
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: by the way, plays a big role in this book.

1197
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: Also Biden and carry and I'll let you name the

1198
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: McConnell and his wife and and others. Yeah, that's right.

1199
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: I mean to take one example, um involving uh the

1200
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Secretary of State during the Obama administration, John Kerry and

1201
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: the Vice President, Uh Biden. You had the sons of

1202
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: those two individuals set up something called the Rosemont Seneca Partners,

1203
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: which was a company they set up in two thousand nine,

1204
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,959
Speaker 1: and basically Chris Hines, who's this stepson of John Kerry,

1205
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: put up half the money. But the two main players

1206
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: were a guy named Devin Archer who was a longtime

1207
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: aid and confidante of carry UH, and Hunter Biden, the

1208
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: son of the vice presidents. And what basically happens is

1209
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden in December flies over on Air Force

1210
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: two with his father as his father is sitting down

1211
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: and dealing with Chinese officials on the South China Sea trade?

1212
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Is us just one intervention? One interruption? Here? If it

1213
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 1: was a Vanka Trump, Oh, watch out ahead, explain exactly,

1214
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: flies with his father on Air Force to it, which

1215
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm cool with. I mean to bring his family. Yeah,

1216
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: it's it's not the trip, it's the aftermath that's bothers

1217
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: something now Now on that trip, um, the Vice president

1218
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: Biden is criticized for going soft on the Chinese. And

1219
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 1: what you find out is ten days later when they leave,

1220
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden secures a what becomes a one point five

1221
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: billion dollar private equity deal with a government bank in China. Now,

1222
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, let's be clear about this. Hunter Biden was

1223
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: a lobbyist before his father was vice president. He does

1224
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: not have background in private equity, has no background in China.

1225
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: The other individual involved in this is Devin Archer, who

1226
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: is a co chair of the finance committee for John

1227
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: Carey's two thousand four campaign, also has little experience in

1228
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: private equity, and they get this one point five billion

1229
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: dollars in Chinese money to invest in companies, essentially buying

1230
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: assets in the United States and around the world to

1231
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 1: benefit the Chinese government. So so, ten days after Biden

1232
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: and his son go to China on a trip where

1233
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: where Biden is viewed as being weak and easy on

1234
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: the Chinese government, his own son's firm scores a billion

1235
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 1: and a half dollar deal with a Bank of China

1236
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: for basically Chinese investors to invest in America. And how

1237
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: much money are they making and all of this? How

1238
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, lunch bucket, Joe, I think you referred to

1239
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: him in the book, That's right. That's the problem, Sean.

1240
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: We don't know because there's no disclosure requirements. I mean,

1241
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: think about this for second, because he's using his son,

1242
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: that's right. So this is what's breathtaking. If if Joe

1243
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Biden as vice president gets a dollar campaign contribution. He's

1244
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: required to disclose it. If his son gets a one

1245
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: point five billion dollar private equity deal from the Chinese government,

1246
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: there's no disclosure requirement. That's the problem. And here's what happens, Sean.

1247
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: That's not even the worst part of the story. There

1248
01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: are two other deals involving these entities, in volving Hunter Biden,

1249
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: involving Devon Archer, involving the Chinese government as well. You've

1250
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: got this offshore account called Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners. Chinese

1251
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: government puts thirty eight million dollars into that Rosemont name

1252
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: sounds familiar again. You've got Hunter Biden and you've got

1253
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 1: Devin Archer. Third deal Rosemant Realty, a realtate state firm

1254
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: owned by Chris Hines Hunter Biden and involving them. The

1255
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 1: Chinese come in and buy that as well, with a

1256
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: promise of three billion dollars to be invested in this

1257
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: real estate company. This is all occurring in the context

1258
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: of these fathers negotiating with the Chinese gun. You call

1259
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: it in the book corruption by proxy. So explain it

1260
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: in more detail and explain specifically. You know this deal,

1261
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: the other family deal. Yeah, here's it's also John Kerry's kid. Yeah. Well,

1262
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: so here's the here's the bottom line, Sean. The bottom

1263
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: line is that that the corruption laws in the United

1264
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: States are very clear. If you are a politician and

1265
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: I want to favor from you, whether I give money

1266
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: to you or I give money to your son to

1267
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: try to get access or favorable treatment. Uh, that could

1268
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: constitute a crime if there's a quid pro quo. And

1269
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: yet the disclosure requirements in the United States do not

1270
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: require the disclosure of financial ties involving immediate family members.

1271
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: And that's a huge part of the problem. But there

1272
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 1: are national security implications for this, Sean too. So this

1273
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: this one point five billion dollars, the Chinese government gives

1274
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden to invest one of the companies they invest

1275
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: in Sean as an anchor investor, who is called CGN

1276
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: China General Nuclear. Uh So already you know this is

1277
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 1: this is an atomic power company. But a lot of

1278
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: people won't realize is they invest in this. Less than

1279
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:46,919
Speaker 1: a year later, the FBI charges CGN with stealing nuclear

1280
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: secrets in the United States. And what they're what this

1281
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: company that Now, remember Hunter Biden's involved in this. Devon

1282
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 1: archers involved in this, this company is trying to get

1283
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,759
Speaker 1: access to something called the AP one thousand nuclear reactor,

1284
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 1: is a small civilian nuclear reactor that's similar to the

1285
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: reactor that we put on our nuclear subs. It's not

1286
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 1: just Biden and his family. I mean, look at John Kerry,

1287
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: his adopted son of I recalled properly. And you know,

1288
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: again in both instances, you have Biden as vice president,

1289
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: then you have John Kerry as Secretary of State negotiating

1290
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 1: sensitive deals and issues with the Chinese government at the

1291
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 1: time that all of these deals are benefiting their family.

1292
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: Which it goes back to my original point about proxy.

1293
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: You know, this is corruption by proxy. Yeah, I mean

1294
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: corruption by proxy is is exactly the charge. And you

1295
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: have these three major deals that are occurring between and

1296
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen when all of this is going down, and

1297
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: and this goes to the heart of the issue. I mean,

1298
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: if we're worried about a pack contribution from let's say

1299
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: an oil company influencing a politician, we should be concerned

1300
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 1: about major, large private equity deals that are being done

1301
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: with the children of powerful America and politicians. And that's

1302
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 1: every y that's I think the key element, and we

1303
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: need to change those laws and the great irony. And

1304
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: this is it's not just China, because you have a

1305
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 1: whole area devoted to Russia and the influence. You talk

1306
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,600
Speaker 1: specifically about this oligarch. I forget his particular name, Kolimowski,

1307
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: which he used, barred entrance into the US because of

1308
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: legal concerns and activities in the Ukraine. I hope Paul

1309
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: Manaforts lawyers are listening. But in after Biden and Archer

1310
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 1: joined the board, that all changed, and with the intervention

1311
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: of the U. S Embassy and Kiev, he was given

1312
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,560
Speaker 1: admission back to the United States. Why why was he

1313
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: given what? What did they get in return? Well that's

1314
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,400
Speaker 1: a great question. So you know, Devin Archer and Hunter

1315
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: Biden get around because in addition to China, they go

1316
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 1: over to the Ukraine and they connect up with this

1317
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: controversial oligarch name Igor Kolimowski. Now he is the most

1318
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 1: controversial of all the Ukrainian oligarchs. And that says something, Sean,

1319
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: because you know how things are in that any of

1320
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: these people heard of Paul Manafort and his work in

1321
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: the Ukraine. Yeah, well that that's exactly right. But what's

1322
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: what's amazing about Kolamowski is This is a guy who

1323
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 1: who says to Hunter Biden and Devin Archer, this former

1324
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: carry Aid, I want you to come and be advisers

1325
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: to me in this energy company. We again, we don't

1326
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 1: know how much they get paid, but you can bet

1327
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: it's a lot. They're not gonna go and work for

1328
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 1: Ukrainian company without getting well compensated. But not only does

1329
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: he get to be readmitted back into the United States,

1330
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: but you also have this other scandal. Sean, Now think

1331
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: about this. Igor Kolimowski has the son of the Vice

1332
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 1: President and a close AID former aide to John carry

1333
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 1: on the payroll the United States and the Obama administration

1334
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 1: takes one point eight billion dollars in aid through the

1335
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I m F and sends it to the Ukraine using

1336
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: pre Vat Bank, which is owned by Igor Kolimowski. A

1337
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 1: billion dollars of that in the bank disappears, It's gone,

1338
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: it goes away, Nobody knows where it goes. And there

1339
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: are a lot of groups in the Ukraine who think

1340
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 1: that Kolamowski somehow was involved potentially in having that money disappear. Well,

1341
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: that investigation is basically squelched in the Ukraine. And here's

1342
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: the curious thing, Sean, to show you how intertwined all

1343
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:13,440
Speaker 1: of this is the day before Donald Trump was inaugurated

1344
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 1: in January. Of all the places in the world, where

1345
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: was Vice President Joe Biden. He was in the Ukraine.

1346
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,799
Speaker 1: He was in the Ukraine meeting with Ukrainian officials basically

1347
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 1: talking to them about corruption issues, while of course his

1348
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: son and and this former aide are involved. Unbelievable, all right,

1349
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 1: just to prove that we're fairer and balanced. Uh, I

1350
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: really want to get into all of this with I've

1351
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: never been the biggest fan of Mitch McConnell um, but

1352
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: you have a lot of information in this book about

1353
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 1: McConnell and about his wife and how they used their

1354
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: political power and they made their family rich as well.

1355
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: And before I get to that question, do you see

1356
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 1: crimes committed here? Do you see illegality here? Do you

1357
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 1: see it's obvious conflict of interest? Yes? No question? You know,

1358
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: and I know I thought Obama had put in place

1359
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 1: no lobbying roule for what five years? If you leave

1360
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: his administration? Does that lobbying rule not apply to Joe

1361
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: Biden or Joe Biden's kids? Or the family. Well, this

1362
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 1: is the creativity of the political class in Washington, Shawn.

1363
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: Their law is very very clear. You have to show

1364
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: an explicit quid pro quo to show the corruption has occurred.

1365
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: And one of the ways that proxies work is it's

1366
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: harder to show quid pro quo because you can never

1367
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: show a direct conversation where the subject of payment came up,

1368
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 1: say between Joe Biden and Chinese officials. But if the

1369
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Sun is involved, it makes a lot harder to trace.

1370
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: So I think this stuff. First of all, we have

1371
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: to tighten the laws and the disclosure requirements. We have

1372
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: to have politicians disclose if they have family members that

1373
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: have commercial ties to foreign governments. Why is it seem

1374
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 1: that it's only the Trump family and the Trump the

1375
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: Trump Empire that is being held to a very different standard.

1376
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: How rich did the mcca dontl family get as a

1377
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: result of their Well, first, let's talk about what they

1378
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 1: were involved in, their family members were involved in, and

1379
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 1: how much money do you think they got. Well, again,

1380
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: in the case of the McConnell's, it involves Chinese China,

1381
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: and uh, you know he married a Lane Chow, you know,

1382
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: prominent American public figure whose family is ethnically Chinese. Her

1383
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 1: father had a friendly relationship with Jan Zi Men, who

1384
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: is the premier of China. But the problem is that

1385
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: Mitch mccon travels over with the father as guests of

1386
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: the China State Ship Building Corporation, and beginning then the

1387
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: Chow family becomes heavily dependent and reliant on a close

1388
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,799
Speaker 1: commercial relationship with the Chinese gun. But again, it's by proxy,

1389
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: that's right, It's by proxy. And what I chart is

1390
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 1: that relationship, and I argue that over time Mitch McConnell

1391
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: has become softer on China than he was before these

1392
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 1: commercial ties existed. Shocking. All right, when we come back,

1393
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 1: you talk about the Obama's in this book, We're gonna

1394
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: take a break and we're gonna come back, and we're

1395
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna come back with Peter Schweitzer's bombshell brand new book,

1396
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 1: Secret Empires, How the American political class hides corruption and

1397
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: enriches their family and friends. You have high contacts and government,

1398
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,839
Speaker 1: that's all right, Just hire the kids. You'll make billions

1399
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:20,600
Speaker 1: and nobody will know. Straight ahead, as we continue, our

1400
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 1: friend Peter Switzer's got his brand new book out remember

1401
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: how big Clinton cash was. This also exposes corruption, secret empires,

1402
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: how the American political class hides corruption, enriches their family

1403
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: and their friends. And we talked about, you know how

1404
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 1: these families like the Biden family and the Carey family

1405
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 1: and the McConnell family and others. You know, they're doing

1406
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,640
Speaker 1: all of this briproxy. In other words, Oh, so politicians

1407
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: go easy on China, Well, they get benefits for their family.

1408
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 1: And this is extremely widespread, and the amount of money

1409
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about is often in the millions. Tell us

1410
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: about Barack Obama in this book. Well, in the case

1411
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:00,560
Speaker 1: of Barack Obama, it's a different strategy of eruption. We

1412
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: call it smash and grab. I mean, we think about

1413
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: all the different ways in which politicians try to self enrich.

1414
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 1: In this case, again, it's by proxy and it's using

1415
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: the fist of government. So Barack Obama's best friend is

1416
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:13,840
Speaker 1: a guy named Marty Nesbit. A lot of people don't

1417
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 1: know about him. He's now the chairman of the Obama Foundation. Well,

1418
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 1: during the Obama administration, he sets up a private equity

1419
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 1: firm called Vistria. And what Vistory is designed to do,

1420
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: according to his corporate filings is to invest in quote,

1421
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: highly regulated industries. Well, that's a great business model if

1422
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: your friend is the regulator in chief. And basically what

1423
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: they do is Barack Obama goes, for political reasons, after

1424
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 1: several industries. He goes after cole, he goes after the

1425
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: uh uh you know, the for profit universities, he goes

1426
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: after paid a lenders. And what essentially happens is this

1427
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: small network of financial backers of his around him. When

1428
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,719
Speaker 1: he goes after these industries, the valuations of the stock

1429
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: prices dropped from say hundred dollars a share of three

1430
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: dollars to share. Guess who scoops and ambuys them on

1431
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: the chief. That would be his friends, that would be

1432
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: people like George Soros. So it's it's a classic example

1433
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: of smash and grab. And if you look at the

1434
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: coal industry, for example, you've got an individuals look like

1435
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: Tom Stire and and and this is where George Soros exactly,

1436
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. And they're able to buy these assets

1437
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: on the cheap because during the Obama administration their valuations

1438
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: are so low. Stay right there, we're gonna pick it

1439
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:24,759
Speaker 1: up on Oba. I'm gonna hold you for five more minutes.

1444
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,040

Speaker 1: More on how the Obama family has done it. Uh.

1446
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:47,920

1456
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:15,720
Speaker 1: Hannity tonight, but just to lay out how bad the

1457
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:20,719
Speaker 1: corruption is within your government. Now, this transcends political parties.

1458
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: It seems that the Democrats have been up to their

1459
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: eyeballs in these deals. Now, Peter's book is called Secret Empires,

1460
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 1: How the American political class hides corruption and riches family

1461
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: and friends. And what we're beginning to see as a pattern,

1462
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: and that is you have Biden's family, and you have

1463
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: let's see John Kerry's family, and then you've got Mitch

1464
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: McConnell's family. And you were just describing Obama. Uh, why

1465
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 1: don't we get back into that and just explain they're

1466
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: doing it a little bit differently. So explain how the

1467
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: Obama is now getting rich. Yeah, so smash and grab

1468
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: is basically how it works. So let's look at a

1469
01:21:56,160 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: guy like Martynzmitt, who's his best friend. Barack Obama's administration

1470
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:03,879
Speaker 1: goes after a for profit university called the University of Phoenix.

1471
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 1: A lot of people have probably seen their ads on TV. Uh.

1472
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 1: They go after it and say that the Pentagon is

1473
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,719
Speaker 1: going to suspend giving g I money to allow soldiers

1474
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: to go to the University of Phoenix. Stock price goes

1475
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: down from a hundred dollars a share down to three

1476
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 1: dollars a share. Martinezbitt, his best friend, steps into say

1477
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 1: I'll buy the company, buys the company after he buys

1478
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 1: the company, what does the Pentagon do. It says we're

1479
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna start allowing gi money to go back to the

1480
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,600
Speaker 1: University of Phoenix. Unbelievable. And that's that's just one of

1481
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,680
Speaker 1: multiple examples. How much money was that worth? It was

1482
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 1: It was hundreds of millions of dollars deal um. And

1483
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,879
Speaker 1: it's just one. You've got George Soros doing coal companies.

1484
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:47,759
Speaker 1: George Sorrow ever get Soros ever get in the coal industry.

1485
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: That shocked me in the book. He got into it

1486
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 1: by buying shares on the cheap because his friend Barack

1487
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: Obama was driving down coal prices. Same thing that Tom Steyer,

1488
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, big environmentalist Tom Steyer made a lot of

1489
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 1: money in the coal industry and one of the things

1490
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 1: he did was by shares of the stock on the

1491
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: cheap in the early part of the Obama administration when

1492
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,839
Speaker 1: the prices were being driven down. And it's a classic

1493
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: example of what we call smashing grab and it's this

1494
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: sort of corrupting approach by proxody. Now I noticed on

1495
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: the cover of the book, you have Obama, you have carry,

1496
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: you have Biden, ye have McConnell, and you also have

1497
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,600
Speaker 1: on the cover Jared Kushner. So I'm reading through the

1498
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: book and I'm thinking, oh, well, all these guys, and

1499
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: I get to the part about Jared, which is more

1500
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: in the back of the book, and I did not

1501
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,719
Speaker 1: see anything that stood out to me on the level

1502
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: of of these other people. Am I wrong? Am I

1503
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,600
Speaker 1: reading it? I mean, as a matter of fact, I

1504
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: don't think you saw anything wrong with his ethics. Yeah,

1505
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean what what what we really say is this

1506
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: is kind of a warning. H And we begin the

1507
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: chapter by talking about the Chinese governments. UH is very

1508
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: sort of freaked out by Donald Trump's policies towards China

1509
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: on trade on the South China Sea, and we quote

1510
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Chinese government officials in the Chinese media saying, the way

1511
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 1: we are going to try to soften Donald Trump is

1512
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to go through the kids. And so

1513
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: it's a warning to say, look, this is the way

1514
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 1: China operates. They had success in the Obamba administration. I

1515
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 1: would argue they've had success with Mitch McConnell. Don't take

1516
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: any of these deals. That's that's the real concern, because

1517
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 1: this is the wave of the future, Sean, This this

1518
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 1: form of everything they've done those in their blind trust.

1519
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 1: Uh you look, but this is a temptation of everybody. Yes,

1520
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,599
Speaker 1: you have even the Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He had

1521
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: the file of supplement to his ethics report. The former

1522
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 1: Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, I believe, is that the name

1523
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: held stock and in Hyatt hotels right where millions. Yeah, Sean,

1524
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: we have a chapter on Penny Pritsker, who, like Donald

1525
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 1: Trump is is a real estate mogul. And read the

1526
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: chapter on Penny Pritzker and read the chapter on the Trumps,

1527
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 1: and you will be shocked because it was no media

1528
01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: of the massive conflicts of enga. Penny Pritsker, his Commerce

1529
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Secretary was leasing properties that she owned. The Commerce Department

1530
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: was leasing properties that she owned. She actually took the

1531
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: lead property manager of the federal government and hired it

1532
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: to her firm while she was Commerce secretary. Massive conflicts

1533
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: of interest never reported. Um So the media coverage on

1534
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: this I think is completely out of balance. I think

1535
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 1: there needs to be good, tough reporting on everybody, but

1536
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 1: it's got to be balanced reporting, meaning you go after everybody,

1537
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: and that has just not been the case. So basically,

1538
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 1: what you're saying, is okay, this happened with all these

1539
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: other politicians that have been there a long time. It

1540
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 1: almost sounds like you're trying to be a friend of

1541
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,639
Speaker 1: Jared and say, look, you've got business interests, be very careful.

1542
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: They're they're targeting you. It's it's good for the it's

1543
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: good for the family, and even more importantly, it's good

1544
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: for the country. But don't you think that by having

1545
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,680
Speaker 1: his picture on the cover, people are gonna put them

1546
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: in the same category as those other people. I I

1547
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: hope people will read the book. Look really would be

1548
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 1: a nice thing. It actually has context everything. When I

1549
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: looked at it, I'm like, oh, that's what I said.

1550
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 1: I But here's here's the thing, Sean. If you're going

1551
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: to look at this kind of business model, we dissect everybody,

1552
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: and so we'd used the same methodologies on the Trump

1553
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: family that we used on the Biden family. Now, when

1554
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: you compare the Bidens to the Trumps, at this point,

1555
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: you're basically looking at a scale of massive corruption with

1556
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 1: the Bidens that I would argue is unprecedented, and in

1557
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 1: the case of the Trump family, maybe you were looking

1558
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 1: at a speeding violence. This do you think based on

1559
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: this because it's gonna take time, and I'm just basing

1560
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 1: it on your last book, Clinton Cash. It took a

1561
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: long time for Uranium one to sink in, right, you know,

1562
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 1: And we found out recently. I remember I actually got

1563
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,639
Speaker 1: my sources to tell me that the Attorney General, Jeff

1564
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: Sessions did not recuse themselves for all things related Uranium one.

1565
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 1: About a month ago, there was another indictment in the

1566
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: Uranium one case. While everybody was saying, no, that's debunked,

1567
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,560
Speaker 1: it's not debunked. And there's an ongoing investigation and the

1568
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,919
Speaker 1: FBI Bureau in Arkansas is looking into the Clinton Foundation

1569
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 1: even as we speak. That's exactly right. And this is

1570
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: the common tacting by the way, that when did you

1571
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: first write Clinton Cash. Clinton Cash came out in I

1572
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 1: did your show in April, and that launched the f

1573
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 1: BEHIND investigation that everything us on and everything, and I

1574
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 1: think it's going to be had to do a lot

1575
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 1: of a lot of reinforcement to get the story out

1576
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,559
Speaker 1: because you know, this is a problem, and people don't understand.

1577
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes people say, Hannity, you repeat yourself. I'm like, you

1578
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 1: don't understand if I say, oh, Obama double the national

1579
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: debt once and never say it again. It doesn't sink in.

1580
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 1: But during an election year, if I say it every

1581
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: day and thirteen million more Americans on food stamps, eight

1582
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,839
Speaker 1: million more in poverty, it begins to sink in. Exactly.

1583
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 1: It's just it's just the nature of this busy world

1584
01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 1: we live in and and people are Look, I don't

1585
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 1: assume that everybody's hanging onto every word I say every

1586
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: minute of every day. Well, if you catch the show,

1587
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna eventually catch the big points. Well, and the

1588
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: other thing I would add, Sean, is that you know there,

1589
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 1: I've been interviewed by a lot of people, a lot

1590
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: of talk show hosts. Great talk show hosts. They basically

1591
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,839
Speaker 1: read from clippings. You go out and do original research.

1592
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 1: You're not just reacting to what I only honestly. To

1593
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: be honest, look at the book. I mean, it's all

1594
01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 1: yellow highlighted. But here's my problem. There's so much m

1595
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 1: I can in the confines of time for the show

1596
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: right now, I can only give you a broad picture.

1597
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 1: That's why people need to buy the book number one,

1598
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: to read it for themselves and do a deep dive

1599
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 1: like like we're doing. But I will tell you every

1600
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 1: single person and topic. Over time. We will bring you

1601
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: in just to dissect one piece of information at a time,

1602
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 1: because you're literally unloading about how how deep this corruption

1603
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,640
Speaker 1: is and how much money these people are making, and

1604
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 1: what a farce government is in so many different ways,

1605
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: and how corrupt they are. It's disgusting. Yeah, it's remarkable.

1606
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:02,800
Speaker 1: It's from arkable the level of corruption that occurred in

1607
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, which you know, even I thought, okay,

1608
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 1: they they have their issues, but there's not widespread financial corruption.

1609
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 1: I think this book completely redefines that, and I think

1610
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 1: we have got to change some laws as it relates

1611
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,880
Speaker 1: to disclosure of what politicians have to disclose. If their

1612
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: kids are doing big deals with foreign governments, they need

1613
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: to be disclosing that so the American people and voters

1614
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 1: know that, you know, somebody's kid has got a big

1615
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: deal with China, has got a big deal with Russia.

1616
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: Whoever that needs to be disclosed. Really well said, all right.

1617
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 1: The book is called Secret Empires. How the American political

1618
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 1: class hides corruption and richest family and friends. This is

1619
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 1: so deep. The Biden's that carries, the McConnell's, the Obama's

1620
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: it's all there and uh, by the way, Peter will

1621
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 1: be joining us tonight on Hannity. You can get the

1625

Speaker 1: telephone number you want to be a part of the program.

1628
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 1: Let's say hi to Larry. He is in Houston, Texas. Larry, Hi,

1629
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 1: how are you? You're on the Sean Hannity Show. Great,

1630
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, sir. The reason why I'm calling today, Sean.

1631
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 1: I had an instanting interesting question about the logo, the

1632
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 1: motto for FBI. Do you know what he stands for? Yeah, fidelity, bravery, integrity.

1633
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:35,400
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure. Okay, that's exactly right.

1634
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 1: So how come Mr McCabe, where's his integrity at? No

1635
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:42,599
Speaker 1: one's checked him on that. Oh no, no, he's checked

1636
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 1: trust me. Uh. Look, I don't know if you saw

1637
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:47,880
Speaker 1: my tweet storm this weekend or heard me talking to

1638
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: Sarah and uh David shown earlier in the program today.

1639
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 1: But um, as David said, Dave was a great attorney,

1640
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 1: a really good attorney. And David is just out there

1641
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 1: saying any here that lets him do this. It's it's

1642
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 1: almost malpractice because he's I guarantee you, in the course

1643
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:08,040
Speaker 1: of this, he will incriminate himself. You know. I know

1644
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 1: he's going to easy interviews. I know they're gonna feed

1645
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 1: him the questions. They'll probably make a deal. Okay, don't

1646
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:15,840
Speaker 1: ask me about this, don't ask me about that. Uh,

1647
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna eat up, like manna from heaven, all of

1648
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:21,679
Speaker 1: his negative comments about Trump. But he's got a whole

1649
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 1: host of questions he's got to answer himself. And uh,

1650
01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 1: it's only beginning for him, in my opinion, I agree.

1651
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 1: I agree, alright, my friend God, But you know, it

1652
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,679
Speaker 1: is a good time to reinforce. I love the guys

1653
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 1: of the FBI. I'm not talking about the FBI negatively,

1654
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 1: talking about McCabe, talking about Comey, We're talking about Struck

1655
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:43,599
Speaker 1: and Page, and we're talking about you know, the Attorney

1656
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 1: General at the time, Lynch meeting with Bill Clinton. We're

1657
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 1: talking about all of them. But we're not talking about

1658
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: rank and file FBI people uh. Donna is in Raleigh

1659
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. Next on the Sean Hannity Show, How

Speaker 1: all the hard work to do that so appreciated. And

1663
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to well, before I said what I wanted

1664
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,360
Speaker 1: to say, your previous scholar talked about you or you

1665
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 1: were talking about your repetition and your repetition during the

1666
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,680
Speaker 1: election about the stats that just the truth I think

1667
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 1: was instrumental in getting Trump elected. But um, the other

1668
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:26,560
Speaker 1: thing is regarding this Russia investigation. I don't know what

1669
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 1: makes me matter, just the waste of time and money

1670
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 1: or the ability for Russia to perpetuate the chaos in

1671
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:37,679
Speaker 1: our political system in our country. It's just really saying,

1672
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, it makes a case for a lot of

1673
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 1: things I've never ever ever. I don't think America and

1674
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,840
Speaker 1: principle should have term limits because I think the people

1675
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,639
Speaker 1: need to be engaged enough that they would kick out

1676
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,680
Speaker 1: corrupt politicians. But you know what, we end up re

1677
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 1: electing of these people every time, and they become it

1678
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 1: becomes institutionalized. So I'm a supporter of term limits. I

1679
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 1: I argue it's a bad idea whose time has come.

1680
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 1: I also want to take all money out of politics,

1681
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 1: all money and if you really want to run for office,

1682
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean oh, my mother and my brother and

1683
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 1: my sister and my kids can go out, you know,

1684
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:19,760
Speaker 1: fly with me to China and while i'm you know,

1685
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 1: negotiating something involving national security, they can be cutting side

1686
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:26,679
Speaker 1: deals that's gonna benefit to the family to a tune

1687
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 1: of a billion dollars. And that's what's been happening, you know,

1688
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 1: public financing a campaigns, you know what, give them all,

1689
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, fifty million bucks, good luck and uh, that's it.

1690
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:38,839
Speaker 1: That's all the money you can spend, no outside influence

1691
01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:42,799
Speaker 1: and nobody's beholden to anybody. And then also stringent ethics

1692
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 1: laws that say you want to run for office, you

1693
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 1: and your entire family cannot be involved in any foreign

1694
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 1: type of business arrangements ever. But you know, it's it's

1695
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:59,040
Speaker 1: it's disgusting. You wonder how do these guys leave office.

1696
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 1: They make it a hundred and five grand a year

1697
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 1: and they all end up rich, and they've got to

1698
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:05,920
Speaker 1: pay for a home in the district, and they gotta

1699
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 1: pay for a home in Washington, unless you're like Louie

1700
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 1: Gomert and sleep in your office every day. And that's

1701
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 1: what Louis does. He sleeps in his office on an

1702
01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 1: air mattress. It's unbelievable and it's real, and he's not

1703
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:19,640
Speaker 1: getting rich being a congressman. I can tell you that

1704
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:22,599
Speaker 1: because I know for a fact. You know, but when

1705
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 1: the Biden's, oh Joe Biden go on a trip to China,

1706
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:27,799
Speaker 1: he goes easy on China and his son is securing

1707
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, one point five billion dollars in a in

1708
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:34,880
Speaker 1: a business deal. Uh, that's troublesome. That's that's serious money.

1709
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:38,400
Speaker 1: And at that level of money, you know they're not

1710
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 1: doing it just because they like Joe Biden's son, who

1711
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:45,320
Speaker 1: they probably never met before. I mean, that's a big problem.

1712

1716
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:02,240
