This best-of segment from The Sean Hannity Show centers on crime in Washington, D.C. and Chicago, criticizing Democratic leaders for resisting expanded policing. Hannity praises Donald Trump for deploying federal resources and the National Guard to reduce crime in D.C., comparing it to Rudy Giuliani's New York. Congressman Chip Roy supports federal intervention, faults prosecutors and judges he labels progressive, and discusses his run for Texas attorney general while arguing public safety is essential to freedom. The show alleges officials are manipulating crime data and spotlights claims that Black residents are disproportionately victimized, framing Trump's actions as life-saving. It concludes with renewed criticism of the intelligence community's handling of the 2016 Russia narrative, featuring remarks from Tulsi Gabbard.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now back to the best of Sean Hannity. Well, we
have come out to your city.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
One of they get.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Saying you a comfortation will be desire all And if
you want a little banging again here and come along.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Think of how easy it would be to be a
damn Republican. Oh what should I wear today? This stupid
freaking red hat. What should I say today?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I don't know, Just make sure it's cruel.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Democratic ages have sued this dude.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Forty four times, and we'll assue.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Him forty four more and forty four more after that.
We could lose everything. We could lose our democracy, our
constitutional republic, all because of one.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Man credom is that stop? Welcome to the revolution, be.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Away of coming to your going the way against you a.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Concisal Sean Hennity Show. For me, I'm the scene's information
on freaking news and more boned inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Thanks scotch han An Hour two Sean Hannity Show. Toll
free are numbers eight hundred nine to FOURT one Seawan.
If you want to be a part of the program,
so you go twelve straight days. I believe DC had
its first murder. What have we learned. We learned that Washington,
d c our nation's capital, had, per capita, the highest
homicide rate of any country on the face of the earth,
(01:43):
with forty one per one hundred thousand people. The next
highest is sixteen per one hundred thousand people. And we're
talking about countries like Baghdad and Al Salvador and Mexico
City and so on and so forth. And so President
Trump says enough of the death, enough of the dying,
and successfully goes out and makes the streets of DC
(02:03):
safer again. And you're getting nothing but anger, rage, insanity
from the left. Let me play the mayor of Chicago now,
just as a matter of history, since Obama's been president.
It shocked me. You know, he's from Chicago, and we
could only find two maybe we found a slight reference
(02:25):
a third time to the murder rate in Chicago. I mean,
you could predict with pinpoint accuracy on any given weekend,
how many people are going to be shot, shot and
killed this weekend, six murdered, shot and killed, you know,
twenty three others shot and severely injured. You can predict
with pinpoint accuracy this is going to happen, and not
(02:46):
one politician democratic politician has lifted a finger to keep
the people of Chicago safe. And what is the response
of the mayor of Chicago. He's asked five separate times
to answer a question he's on Liberal Joe. I give
Liberal Joe a little credit today if he'd accept more
federal funding for police listen to the duck dodge and
(03:07):
weave here.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Would you also like to get federal funding to help
put five thousand more cops on the.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Street in Chicago?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Would that help drive down crime?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Well, Look, policing by itself is not the full strategy
I understand.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Would five thousand more police officers on the street in
Chicago be helpful to go along with all of those
social programs and a lot of cities are engaging in
and having success with.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Look, here's the best play I can put it, Joe,
is that in the nineties when I was in high school,
we had three thousand more police officers and we had
nine hundred people being murdered every single year in Chicago.
It's just not policing alone.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Do you believe that the streets in Chicago would be
safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the
streets of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
I believe the city of Chicago and city across America
would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Look, okay, that's not the question. I asked my question,
But and I just the answer or no. Do you
believe the streets of Chicago would be safer if you
got all of those other extraordinary programs put back into place,
which do have a history of being successful. If if
that's complimented by having five thousand more cops on the
(04:30):
streets of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I don't believe that we should narrow it down to
just police officers.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
On what I'm saying, would an additional five thousand cops
on the streets in Chicago help compliment those programs to
make Chicago safer?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Look, we are working hard to make sure that our
police department is fully supported. I don't believe that just
simply putting out an arbitrary number around police officers is
the answer.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Would five thousand cops help or non help? It's an
easy answer, yes, police help. But if you're part of
this thiefund dismantle no bail law, reimagine the police send
in social work or mentality, You're never going to admit
that on any show. I mean, it's obvious. It's simple,
basic math and common sense. A greater police presidence Rudy
(05:22):
Julianni New York City was able to transform New York
City from an Adam schiffthole into you know, a city
that was safe and secure again. You know, from nearly
three thousand murders a year down a three hundred. That's
how dramatic you know, policing became in New York City.
Now they've gone backwards. And here's that. You know, Nitwick
(05:42):
Governor JB. Pritzker, who thinks he's going to be president,
he's not. Here's him telling Trump don't come to Chicago.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump looked at
the assembled cameras and asked for me personally to say,
mister president, can you do us the honor of protecting
our city? Instead, I say, mister President, do not come
to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.
(06:09):
Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a
US city, punish his dissonance and score political points.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
And then you have a Washington, DC cardjacker. I can't
even agree. This was on Grabian. I guess you know
one of the news sites they interview a carjacker says
he's been in and out of jail six times. This
is what you get when you coddle criminals. The whole
purpose is, you know, eliminating these this idiotic no bail
law mentality is you're allowing people back out on the street.
(06:43):
We went through yesterday all of the misdemeanors. This idiot,
you know, Marxist Kami Mundani, wants to to decriminalize in
New York City, including third second degree sexual assault. This
guy's out of his mind and legalized prostitution. That's gonna
be great for New York City. Good luck to everybody
in New York City anyway. That is the mindset. Here's
(07:06):
the carjacker.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
One man wanted in connection with an armed carjacket in
Maryland told us that why are you sending me back
to jail? I won't even be there very long.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
The judges then you're gonna say're gonna put him on
a three day hold.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Then want the three day holds us up and run.
He never shows up.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I do them in over d C til six times
for the same mord they never show up.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
D C Tail has to release me, they release me.
It's the same thing every time, the same thing, every time.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Every time. Anyway, joining us now is Congressman Chip Roy
by the way, he's currently running for the role of
Attorney General and what will be an open seat in
the great state of Texas to talk about DC, the
federalization of law enforcement, and President Trump bringing in the
National Guard to protect not only d C, but he's
(07:52):
now pledging to protect nineteen other cities where the people
in those cities don't have basic law and order and say,
safety and security, I argue a prerequisite to pursue happiness
in America. Congressman, how are you welcome aboard? So you're
ready to leave DC?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I see, well, I mean what i'd say is it's
about time to come back come to Texas for a
lot of the reasons you're talking about. Because while DC
is front and center, because the President is doing a
great job demonstrating what law and order can actually do
to restore sanity and security, Texas is under its own
assault with George Soros, DA's and judges in Austin and
San Antonio and Dallas and Houston. We've got our own
(08:30):
crime problems. Obviously, border issues that the President's also addressing.
But look, this is a real issue in DC Sean.
I mean, the fact of the matter is we had
rand Paul Stafford who was stabbed a couple of years ago,
Henry Quaar I think was carjacktor was rob getting out
of a car, and ron Ess, his intern, was murdered,
literally gunned down just this year to ISRAELI I'm remembering correctly, right,
(08:54):
embassy staffers were shot to death in public. It's a
real This is not made up, you know, these guys
trying to hide behind ridiculous data. But the fact is,
under President Trump's actions, which by the way, the constitutionalists
it's clearly constitutional and illegal for him to exercise authority
as the Home Relact even contemplated. So he's doing exactly
(09:16):
what he should do for our nation's capital to secure it.
Robbery's down, carjackings down, car cups are down, property crimes down,
violent crime is down. We just need more of that
happening and more of our cities across the country. And
that's one of the reasons I feel called to get
back home to Texas to be the attorney General and
work with the great law enforcement here. I'm a former
(09:37):
federal prosecutor, former first assistant Attorney General, and I just
lived through the Curvell floods in Texas where I work
closely law enforcement and just so honored by their work
and efforts, and I want to join them and come
back to Texas. But look, I'm not going anywhere. I'm
still in Congress for at least sixteen more months, and
we got a lot more fighting to do.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's inexplicable to me that these mayors and these governors
are so so adamant that they don't want the assistance
and help. I mean, you heard Brandon Johnson, the mayor
of Chicago. You know, we couldn't even answer a basic
fundamental question. If you have five thousand more cops, would
that save lives so the people in Chicago. The answer
(10:15):
is obviously yes. It's not a tough question. It's a
pretty easy question to answer, and yet he refused to do.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
So what does that tell you, Well, it demonstrates the game.
They don't they don't care, They actually don't want to
get to that level of security. And and besides, by
the way, the cops would be necessarily and important. But
here's a couple of big variables. Number One, you got
to find individuals who would be great cops to add
five thousand to the streets of Chicago. Number and you
(10:45):
got to pay them. Well, you got to make sure
you're training at number two. You got to have judges
that will do the right thing in das that will
do the right thing and convict and put these guys
in jail. And I think, look, we can all talk about,
you know, how we handle you know, over criminalization or
over incarceration, but what we have to do is to
(11:05):
have you said it best. You do not have the
ability to pursue happiness. You cannot live free if you're
not secure. And one of the basic foundation functions of
government is to secure our community, secure our streets. And
clearly these massive blue cities, not just Chicago again, we
fight this all the time right here in Austin, Texas, Sean.
(11:27):
You know, they were one of the leading efforts to
try to undermine our ability to recruit cops. Remember, they
took away funding from the police force in Austin back
here in twenty twenty. Greg Gasar is now in Congress,
is on the city council. They took away all that money,
which hurt our recruiting ability and hurt our police academy.
(11:48):
So it's everywhere. We got to fight it everywhere. And
God bless President Trump for leading that with example and
in our nation's capital.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So the MOYPD Commissioner Jessica told Tam Bondi the Attorney
jail Roll that New York City crime is under control.
What she didn't tell the Attorney General is only months
earlier and NYPD commander was punished for cooking the books
on crime stats. We now have a full investigation and
there's been multiple reports in the Washington Examiner and elsewhere.
(12:19):
How d see the crime capital of the you know,
of any country on the face of this earth, a
capital city of any country. They've been accused of cooking
the books also, so I guess this is their way
of what pretending that that crime isn't really happening when
it's happening big time.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Now, that's right in Look our good mutual friend, Jim Jordan,
the chairman of the duw Shary Committee. I think we're
going to have some good efforts here this fall to
try to highlight more of this, make sure that we're
putting out materials and reports and hopefully having hearings to
demonstrate what they're doing with the data and misrepresenting the truth.
When you've got individuals in these cities that are stepping
(13:01):
up and saying, hey, you know, we want security peoples.
We as people say with red hats, I e. You know,
make America cretic and the hats. These are things that
are I think having the actual truth getting out in
the face of Democrats trying to.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Cover it up.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And this is everything that they're trying to do is
cover up everything they wanted to cover up Hunter Biden.
You and I've talked about that many times before. They
wanted to cover up all that they did.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
With respect to the Russia hoax.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
They want to cover up all that they were doing
with respect to election fraud and what they were doing
mail in ballads. They want to cover up the politicization
of our redistricting right. They hate the Texas is doing
what it's doing because we're no longer unilaterally disarming, And
they want to cover up the fact they've been hiding
crime and hiding what's been happening to real people and
all the name of their entire woke agenda. DEI go
(13:48):
on a rye critical race theory gone Awrye and now
it's resulted in real people dying not just because of
the crime on the streets, but wide open borders, people
like as you know, Jocelyn Nungray who lost her life,
and so many different Americans, Rachel Moran and others because
of their open border policies. They don't care about security,
they don't care about sovereignty, they don't care about ensuring
(14:09):
that we have safe streets. They just want to advance
a radical agenda for power.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
All right, quick break more with Congressmanship Roy currently running
for the role of Attorney general, great State of Texas.
You'll we'll get to your calls on the other side.
Eight hundred nine four one Sean as we continue. Hey,
you know there's a big rumor going around that Sean
Hannity may be running for president.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Now tell me how many people think that's.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
A great idea. Oh boy, stay tuned for more details
right here on the Nity Show. All right, we continue
(15:07):
now with Congressman Chip Roy, great State of Texas, currently running,
by the way, for the role of Attorney general in Texas.
Here's what John Lott wrote in the New York Post,
and he talked about, for example, you know who's benefiting
from the President's crackdown on crime, and he points out
that Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, and
other Democrats howling that Trump's intervention is stoking racial division.
(15:32):
And then he points out the facts in this case,
and he says a National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform
analysis of DC homicides between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty
one found about ninety six percent of victims were African American,
and African Americans suffered disproportionately in other crime categories as well.
(15:54):
And Donald Trump is stepping into save lives. It's very
similar to what Rudy julianni was. I watched him do
in real time when he was the mayor of New
York City.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Last word, yeah, certainly. I mean Juliani and the broken
windows policy, trying to clean up the streets, make it safe.
People all try to turn that all into race based politics,
but now that is all flipping on its head. You
have Black Americans, Hispanic Americans who are flocking to President Trump,
and Republicans who believe in security, who believe in freedom
and believe in allowing people to achieve the American dream
(16:25):
by making sure that those things are in place. That
is one of the other reasons that motivates me to
run for Attorney General of Texas. We must be secure,
if we want to be free. We must be able
to stand up and fight and defend our communities and
our homes from the radical progressives who want to take
it away. And whether you're talking about the march of
Islamists and Sharia law in Texas, whether you're talking about
(16:48):
open borders, or whether you're talking about George Soros, DA's
and prosecutors, you need people who are willing to stand
up and fight. So God bless President Trump for doing
it in DC. We need to do more in Congress
this fall, and I hope to do more as Attorney
General in a year. But God bless you, Sean, and
I appreciate your focus on.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
This all right, Congressman, Ship Royer, Texas currently running for
the role of Attorney General in the great state of Texas.
God bless Texas. Congressman, appreciate you being with us. Take
care by eight hundred and nine foot one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, how
many times did you yourself probably tell somebody. If it
ain't broke, don't fix it. Now, that's probably great advice
on most things, Probably not for your cell phone, because
(17:25):
over time, your cell phone battery life will fade, the
processor won't be able to keep up. Make the switch
to my wireless company, a veteran owned company, America's wireless company,
Pure Talk. You are listening to the best of the
Sean Hannity Show, and stay tuned. More memorable moments, interesting guests,
and a lot of fun coming up next, The best
(18:00):
of the Sean Hannity Show. Coming up, the radio show,
The Mainstream Media a love state.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
You know, we spent years on this program unpeeling every
single layer of the onion for the Russia Russia Russia hoax,
and frankly everything in between. We know that the FBI
had verified the authenticity of Hunter's laptop in twenty twenty then,
of course four years of law fair and weaponization the
(18:32):
likes of which his country had never seen before, all
in an effort to make Donald Trump unelectable if he
chose to run in twenty twenty four. All of it, Now,
that's putting scales to me on this that's putting center
blocks on the scales of an election. Not one, but two,
but three. These are the deep state operators we have
(18:53):
been talking so often about that we have warned you
repeatedly about. Let me play Tulsi Gabbard on how John
Brennan and the intel community purposely mischaracterized intelligence about Russian
interference in the twenty sixteen presidential race. Remember Brennan warned
Obama in July of twenty sixteen, Hillary was up to
(19:14):
no good with this. And remember Bruce or warned everybody,
don't use the dossier. It became the bulk of four
PIZA applications, three of them, by the way, signed by
James Comey himself. But this is Tulsa Gabbard when she
made her announcement about declassification.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Then CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence
and relied on dubious, substandard sources to create a contrived,
false narrative that putin developed a quote unquote clear preference
for Trump. Brennan and the I SEE misled lawmakers by
referencing the debunked Steele dossier to assess quote unquote Russia's
plans and intentions falsely suggesting that this dossier had intelligence
(19:58):
value when he knew that was discredited. The intelligence community
excluded significant intelligence and ignored or selectively quoted reliable intelligence
that contradicted the intelligence community assessment's key findings on Putin's
alleged support for Trump. Including this intelligence reporting would have
exposed the ICA's claim as implausible, if not ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Now, the senior career intelligence officials, these are rank and
file people that work hard every day to keep our
country safe. They did an assessment post twenty sixteen election.
They determined there was no Trump Russia collusion. And by
December of twenty sixteen, when it got in the hands
(20:43):
of Brennan and Clapper and Obama, they didn't like the
real assessment, so they ordered another assessment to create this
alternate reality, as Tulsi was just saying, and absolutely interfering
in all of this. And here Tulsi saying that Brennan
used the Steele dossier to created an alternate reality about
(21:05):
the twenty sixteen election after they had already gotten an assessment,
and then their new assessment said the exact opposite of
what the truth was.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Listen on December fifth of twenty sixteen, the FBI and
ODIE and I gave the House Intelligence Committee its first
post election classified briefing, in which there was no mention
of Putin aspiring to elect Trump by either agency. The
Presidential Daily Brief, drafted on December eighth of twenty sixteen,
stated that no Russian or criminal actors impacted vote counts.
(21:37):
This document was pulled just hours before it was to
be published due to quote unquote new guidance. If it
had been published, it would have been briefed to both
President Obama and President elect Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Then President Obama, he points out, ordered a new assessment
on Russian election medaling after the real assessment didn't give
them the narrative that they wanted listen.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
On December ninth, twenty sixteen, a National Security Council meeting
was called to gather President Obama's senior national security officials,
which included CIA Director Brennan then Obama, dn I, James Clapper,
Susan Rice, and others. Following that secret meeting, DNI, Clapper's
assistant sent an email to the intelligence community with the
subject line potus tasking on Russia election medaling, Tasking od
(22:28):
and I leaders to create a new assessment per the
president's request. The House Intelligence Committee oversite report that we
released today reveals that, quote, unlike routine intelligence community analysis,
the Intelligence community assessment was a high profile product ordered
by the president President Obama.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Then she points out, and this I think is one
of the more damning aspects of it. Then CIA Director
Brennan overruled the CIA officers. That's the rank and file
career senior intelligence officials who challenged the Russia Gate narrative.
In other words, they were saying, what you are doing
is wrong, what you are saying is false, but he
(23:08):
overruled them. Listen.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
The Intelligence Committee's oversight report reveals that CIA Director Brennan
overruled senior CIA officers who challenged the Obama ordered intelligence assessment, stating, quote,
we don't have direct information that Putin wanted to get
Trump elected. Yet the Obama directed assessment was published on
January sixth, twenty seventeen, which explicitly stated, quote, we assess
(23:33):
Putin and the Russian government aspired to help President elect
Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and
publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
End of quote.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Now remember the Steel dossier had been totally completely debunked
by December of twenty sixteen, and she pointed out, and
I won't play it now, but that the Obama administration
then use this debunked dossier. And remember Chris so for
still at this point was out he was being paid
by the FBI. And then of course you know this
(24:05):
is the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier.
How ironic, but it was all a lie from the
very beginning, and it took up over three years of
Donald Trump's first term. The person that one of the people,
and there have been many that paid a very high
price for the lying, for the weaponization, for politicizing the
(24:30):
FBI and our intelligence community is Paul Manifort. He wrote
an incredible book. If you've not read it, I strongly
urge you read it. It's called political Prisoner, Persecuted, prosecuted
but not silenced. Anyway, we welcoming back to the program.
We have a link on Hannity dot com. You can
get it on Amazon dot com. And if you have
(24:50):
not read this book, you have got to read it,
especially in light of this dclassification. Mister matterforth, sir, how are.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
You good Shaw, thank you for having me on again.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Well, I think everybody knows that we're friends, because, of
course I think there were you know, fifteen hundred text
messages between the two of us that were released forget about,
you know, any any privacy rights that I might have
as a member of the press, and they released all
our private text messages. So I guess people know that
we're friends by now.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Well, I certainly hope so, because I think you're doing
a great job for America and for the President, and
a lot of the exposure of this Russian hoax fact
pad and has come in in your direction and show.
So it's really important. And what the President's doing now
I think is very important. It's you know, people say,
(25:41):
why is this all coming out? What is this all about? Well,
it's really important that the lies be be disclosed so
the American people could see how the deep state used
intelligence incorrectly to create false impressions and buried the truth.
And that's what's happening right now. And it does matter.
(26:03):
I mean, whether anybody goes to jail off.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Of it, it matters how many how much time did
you spend in jail.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
They put me in jail for two years, and.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
How many of those months were you in solitary confinement?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Twelve? Actually it was not very much fun.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
And how often did the government come to you and
say to you, will let you out today. And this
is the most amazing part of your book that you describe.
If you just tell us this and this will let
you out today. You can be back with your family today.
You can see your wife and children and grandchildren today.
How many times did they come in and make that offer.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
To you, Well, I don't know. Many times they were
looking to get me to say things they knew I
knew where was not true, and promising me that they
would appreciate it, but they would show their appreciation. But
the fact of the matter was they never had any
facts ever, and their fact patterns were all wrong. And
(27:03):
when I exposed their fact patterns in the conversations, they
just got more angry at me for not lying and
not being willing to do it.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean that, look, it may seem to you like
just basic and fundamental, and it would be basic and
fundamental at least, I believe it's always easy to say
when you're not in a situation like that, I know
it's basic and fundamental to your character not to lie.
But what they're basically saying to you is you can
have your freedom if you tell us what we want
(27:32):
to hear about Donald Trump. Wasn't not the Wasn't that
the unspoken deal that they were offering you.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yes, they were looking to get Trump and they thought
that they could get me to give them a timeline
or fact pattern that would allow them to make to
make their case, which they I mean, they didn't even
have dotted lines. They were just gaps of of wrong
facts and and they they tried to get the Don
(28:01):
Junior meeting that we had Trump Tower to be something
it wasn't. And they totally ignored the fact that they
discovered in the course of the investigation of my notes.
You know that dismissed the meeting. Is a waste of
time for everybody focusing on not the campaign, not on Russia,
but on you know, the mcginsky Act. And so, I mean,
(28:23):
there was one thing after another they but they never
had faction. Now you see it in the in what
Gabbart has released and what the FBI director is doing.
You're seeing behind the scenes machinations of them trying to
create the false narrative. You see their lies about leaking classifications.
(28:44):
You see the fact patterns of who told me talking.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well, they were distorting it. They were purposely manipulating it
to say something that that the truth never verified. They
were actually just writing a novel.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Correct, That's exactly what it was. It was a fiction novel.
And what you just highlighted a few minutes ago is
exactly right. On December sixth, when they met at the
White House, the Obama Intel Committee to leadership, they saw
there was nothing there. So what did they do? Obama
called for a total new investigation, which normally would take
four or five six months, and he gave them thirty days. Well,
(29:22):
when you don't care about facts, you can put anything
together in thirty days. And that's what they did, and
that became the foundation to try and destroy your presidency.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
All right, quick break, we'll come right back more with
our friend. Paul Manafort is with us his book Political Prisoner, Persecuted,
Prosecuted Not Silence. It's on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com.
Please read this book. In light of the new declassified
documents that have come out, it is only verifying that
he was a political prisoner. Yes, in the USA. It's
unreal quick break right back more with Paul on the
(29:52):
other side, as we continue, going.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Way beyond the headlines on the stories that matter most
to you. Sean Hennity is on right now.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I will continue with Paul Manifort. With the declassification now out,
it shows now more than ever that this man never
should have spent two years in prison. His book Political Prisoner, Persecuted, Prosecuted,
not Silenced. He can get a copy. I'm telling you
it's worth the read. Go to Kennedy dot com, Amazon
dot com and you'll be shocked at the details in
(30:52):
this book. Let me ask you this, is there any
legal recourse you might have to go after people that
knowingly put you in jail, knowing that they knew better
than to put you in jail. Is there anything that
your lawyers are suggesting in any way that you can
hold these people accountable civilly.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
We're looking into some things, but the reality is I
don't know that. I'm not interested in making the next
four years of my life the last eight years of
my life, and so we're looking at things. But the
facts are coming out which proved my case. As you
said in my book, I mean it's there. Fortunately, I
(31:35):
had some hindsight in writing the book that I was
able to find some of the facts that are coming
out now to expose the corruption. But they were clever
the way they did it. And first things, we got
to get everything aired in the public. We've got to
show the deliberate intention to deceive the American people. And
from there then who knows where it may lead.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
One of the nicest things you ever said to me
was that you know, you would listen to Rush and
then me and then the Great One and then the
prison guards put on Hannity, the TV show at night,
and that that helped you during this very difficult time,
especially when you were in isolation. And that made me
(32:17):
feel really good that you knew that there were people
that remembered you well, not just me, but others as well.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I mean, you all kept the flame burning that there
was a possibility that the truth would come out. And
and I can't tell you how important that was, especially
when I was in solitary, when I had, you know,
I had a TV in my room and for a
little while, and then when when I was put in
the general population for the second year, I was able
(32:46):
to persuade the prison guards to put on Fox at
night so that the whole prison could see it, and
you were one of the most popular shows in the prison.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I love my prisoner listeners.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
The funniest thing is when our text messages got released,
which you know takes wait my right to privacy, but
putting that aside, what you went through is so much worse.
The funny part was, you know, listening to fake news
CNN and MSDNC breathlessly reporting, Oh my god, oh my god,
oh my god, he really believes this stuff. It sounds
like one of his monologues. And I'm like, does that
(33:18):
should I infer from that that you don't believe what
you say on TV and radio? I mean, because yeah,
what I was writing you are the things that I
was saying on the air.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Yeah, exactly, and which proved to be one correct.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, we were more right than we knew. I'm glad
you're out. I don't know. I think I'd be far
more resentful and far more desirous of vengeance than you are.
But you're a better man than me. This never should
have happened to you or your family, and that shouldn't
happen in this country and I urge people go to
(33:53):
Hannity dot com, go to Amazon dot com. It's called
political prisoner, persecuted, prosecuted but not silenced, matterfort We appreciate
you being with us, and I appreciate your friendship.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Thank you, Sean, and I appreciate yours. And then all
you're doing to save this country all.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Mataphor, thank you. This is the best of the Sean
Hannity Show. Don't forget. Stay tuned for more right after
the latest news, right here on this radio station.
Now back to the best of Sean Hannity. Well, we
have come out to your city.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
One of they get.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Saying you a comfortation will be desire all And if
you want a little banging again here and come along.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Think of how easy it would be to be a
damn Republican. Oh what should I wear today? This stupid
freaking red hat. What should I say today?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I don't know, Just make sure it's cruel.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Democratic ages have sued this dude.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Forty four times, and we'll assue.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Him forty four more and forty four more after that.
We could lose everything. We could lose our democracy, our
constitutional republic, all because of one.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Man credom is that stop? Welcome to the revolution, be.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Away of coming to your going the way against you a.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Concisal Sean Hennity Show. For me, I'm the scene's information
on freaking news and more boned inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Thanks scotch han An Hour two Sean Hannity Show. Toll
free are numbers eight hundred nine to FOURT one Seawan.
If you want to be a part of the program,
so you go twelve straight days. I believe DC had
its first murder. What have we learned. We learned that Washington,
d c our nation's capital, had, per capita, the highest
homicide rate of any country on the face of the earth,
(01:43):
with forty one per one hundred thousand people. The next
highest is sixteen per one hundred thousand people. And we're
talking about countries like Baghdad and Al Salvador and Mexico
City and so on and so forth. And so President
Trump says enough of the death, enough of the dying,
and successfully goes out and makes the streets of DC
(02:03):
safer again. And you're getting nothing but anger, rage, insanity
from the left. Let me play the mayor of Chicago now,
just as a matter of history, since Obama's been president.
It shocked me. You know, he's from Chicago, and we
could only find two maybe we found a slight reference
(02:25):
a third time to the murder rate in Chicago. I mean,
you could predict with pinpoint accuracy on any given weekend,
how many people are going to be shot, shot and
killed this weekend, six murdered, shot and killed, you know,
twenty three others shot and severely injured. You can predict
with pinpoint accuracy this is going to happen, and not
(02:46):
one politician democratic politician has lifted a finger to keep
the people of Chicago safe. And what is the response
of the mayor of Chicago. He's asked five separate times
to answer a question he's on Liberal Joe. I give
Liberal Joe a little credit today if he'd accept more
federal funding for police listen to the duck dodge and
(03:07):
weave here.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Would you also like to get federal funding to help
put five thousand more cops on the.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Street in Chicago?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Would that help drive down crime?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Well, Look, policing by itself is not the full strategy
I understand.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Would five thousand more police officers on the street in
Chicago be helpful to go along with all of those
social programs and a lot of cities are engaging in
and having success with.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Look, here's the best play I can put it, Joe,
is that in the nineties when I was in high school,
we had three thousand more police officers and we had
nine hundred people being murdered every single year in Chicago.
It's just not policing alone.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Do you believe that the streets in Chicago would be
safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the
streets of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
I believe the city of Chicago and city across America
would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Look, okay, that's not the question. I asked my question,
But and I just the answer or no. Do you
believe the streets of Chicago would be safer if you
got all of those other extraordinary programs put back into place,
which do have a history of being successful. If if
that's complimented by having five thousand more cops on the
(04:30):
streets of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I don't believe that we should narrow it down to
just police officers.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
On what I'm saying, would an additional five thousand cops
on the streets in Chicago help compliment those programs to
make Chicago safer?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Look, we are working hard to make sure that our
police department is fully supported. I don't believe that just
simply putting out an arbitrary number around police officers is
the answer.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Would five thousand cops help or non help? It's an
easy answer, yes, police help. But if you're part of
this thiefund dismantle no bail law, reimagine the police send
in social work or mentality, You're never going to admit
that on any show. I mean, it's obvious. It's simple,
basic math and common sense. A greater police presidence Rudy
(05:22):
Julianni New York City was able to transform New York
City from an Adam schiffthole into you know, a city
that was safe and secure again. You know, from nearly
three thousand murders a year down a three hundred. That's
how dramatic you know, policing became in New York City.
Now they've gone backwards. And here's that. You know, Nitwick
(05:42):
Governor JB. Pritzker, who thinks he's going to be president,
he's not. Here's him telling Trump don't come to Chicago.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump looked at
the assembled cameras and asked for me personally to say,
mister president, can you do us the honor of protecting
our city? Instead, I say, mister President, do not come
to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.
(06:09):
Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a
US city, punish his dissonance and score political points.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
And then you have a Washington, DC cardjacker. I can't
even agree. This was on Grabian. I guess you know
one of the news sites they interview a carjacker says
he's been in and out of jail six times. This
is what you get when you coddle criminals. The whole
purpose is, you know, eliminating these this idiotic no bail
law mentality is you're allowing people back out on the street.
(06:43):
We went through yesterday all of the misdemeanors. This idiot,
you know, Marxist Kami Mundani, wants to to decriminalize in
New York City, including third second degree sexual assault. This
guy's out of his mind and legalized prostitution. That's gonna
be great for New York City. Good luck to everybody
in New York City anyway. That is the mindset. Here's
(07:06):
the carjacker.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
One man wanted in connection with an armed carjacket in
Maryland told us that why are you sending me back
to jail? I won't even be there very long.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
The judges then you're gonna say're gonna put him on
a three day hold.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Then want the three day holds us up and run.
He never shows up.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I do them in over d C til six times
for the same mord they never show up.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
D C Tail has to release me, they release me.
It's the same thing every time, the same thing, every time.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Every time. Anyway, joining us now is Congressman Chip Roy
by the way, he's currently running for the role of
Attorney General and what will be an open seat in
the great state of Texas to talk about DC, the
federalization of law enforcement, and President Trump bringing in the
National Guard to protect not only d C, but he's
(07:52):
now pledging to protect nineteen other cities where the people
in those cities don't have basic law and order and say,
safety and security, I argue a prerequisite to pursue happiness
in America. Congressman, how are you welcome aboard? So you're
ready to leave DC?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I see, well, I mean what i'd say is it's
about time to come back come to Texas for a
lot of the reasons you're talking about. Because while DC
is front and center, because the President is doing a
great job demonstrating what law and order can actually do
to restore sanity and security, Texas is under its own
assault with George Soros, DA's and judges in Austin and
San Antonio and Dallas and Houston. We've got our own
(08:30):
crime problems. Obviously, border issues that the President's also addressing.
But look, this is a real issue in DC Sean.
I mean, the fact of the matter is we had
rand Paul Stafford who was stabbed a couple of years ago,
Henry Quaar I think was carjacktor was rob getting out
of a car, and ron Ess, his intern, was murdered,
literally gunned down just this year to ISRAELI I'm remembering correctly, right,
(08:54):
embassy staffers were shot to death in public. It's a
real This is not made up, you know, these guys
trying to hide behind ridiculous data. But the fact is,
under President Trump's actions, which by the way, the constitutionalists
it's clearly constitutional and illegal for him to exercise authority
as the Home Relact even contemplated. So he's doing exactly
(09:16):
what he should do for our nation's capital to secure it.
Robbery's down, carjackings down, car cups are down, property crimes down,
violent crime is down. We just need more of that
happening and more of our cities across the country. And
that's one of the reasons I feel called to get
back home to Texas to be the attorney General and
work with the great law enforcement here. I'm a former
(09:37):
federal prosecutor, former first assistant Attorney General, and I just
lived through the Curvell floods in Texas where I work
closely law enforcement and just so honored by their work
and efforts, and I want to join them and come
back to Texas. But look, I'm not going anywhere. I'm
still in Congress for at least sixteen more months, and
we got a lot more fighting to do.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's inexplicable to me that these mayors and these governors
are so so adamant that they don't want the assistance
and help. I mean, you heard Brandon Johnson, the mayor
of Chicago. You know, we couldn't even answer a basic
fundamental question. If you have five thousand more cops, would
that save lives so the people in Chicago. The answer
(10:15):
is obviously yes. It's not a tough question. It's a
pretty easy question to answer, and yet he refused to do.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
So what does that tell you, Well, it demonstrates the game.
They don't they don't care, They actually don't want to
get to that level of security. And and besides, by
the way, the cops would be necessarily and important. But
here's a couple of big variables. Number One, you got
to find individuals who would be great cops to add
five thousand to the streets of Chicago. Number and you
(10:45):
got to pay them. Well, you got to make sure
you're training at number two. You got to have judges
that will do the right thing in das that will
do the right thing and convict and put these guys
in jail. And I think, look, we can all talk about,
you know, how we handle you know, over criminalization or
over incarceration, but what we have to do is to
(11:05):
have you said it best. You do not have the
ability to pursue happiness. You cannot live free if you're
not secure. And one of the basic foundation functions of
government is to secure our community, secure our streets. And
clearly these massive blue cities, not just Chicago again, we
fight this all the time right here in Austin, Texas, Sean.
(11:27):
You know, they were one of the leading efforts to
try to undermine our ability to recruit cops. Remember, they
took away funding from the police force in Austin back
here in twenty twenty. Greg Gasar is now in Congress,
is on the city council. They took away all that money,
which hurt our recruiting ability and hurt our police academy.
(11:48):
So it's everywhere. We got to fight it everywhere. And
God bless President Trump for leading that with example and
in our nation's capital.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So the MOYPD Commissioner Jessica told Tam Bondi the Attorney
jail Roll that New York City crime is under control.
What she didn't tell the Attorney General is only months
earlier and NYPD commander was punished for cooking the books
on crime stats. We now have a full investigation and
there's been multiple reports in the Washington Examiner and elsewhere.
(12:19):
How d see the crime capital of the you know,
of any country on the face of this earth, a
capital city of any country. They've been accused of cooking
the books also, so I guess this is their way
of what pretending that that crime isn't really happening when
it's happening big time.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Now, that's right in Look our good mutual friend, Jim Jordan,
the chairman of the duw Shary Committee. I think we're
going to have some good efforts here this fall to
try to highlight more of this, make sure that we're
putting out materials and reports and hopefully having hearings to
demonstrate what they're doing with the data and misrepresenting the truth.
When you've got individuals in these cities that are stepping
(13:01):
up and saying, hey, you know, we want security peoples.
We as people say with red hats, I e. You know,
make America cretic and the hats. These are things that
are I think having the actual truth getting out in
the face of Democrats trying to.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Cover it up.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And this is everything that they're trying to do is
cover up everything they wanted to cover up Hunter Biden.
You and I've talked about that many times before. They
wanted to cover up all that they did.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
With respect to the Russia hoax.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
They want to cover up all that they were doing
with respect to election fraud and what they were doing
mail in ballads. They want to cover up the politicization
of our redistricting right. They hate the Texas is doing
what it's doing because we're no longer unilaterally disarming, And
they want to cover up the fact they've been hiding
crime and hiding what's been happening to real people and
all the name of their entire woke agenda. DEI go
(13:48):
on a rye critical race theory gone Awrye and now
it's resulted in real people dying not just because of
the crime on the streets, but wide open borders, people
like as you know, Jocelyn Nungray who lost her life,
and so many different Americans, Rachel Moran and others because
of their open border policies. They don't care about security,
they don't care about sovereignty, they don't care about ensuring
(14:09):
that we have safe streets. They just want to advance
a radical agenda for power.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
All right, quick break more with Congressmanship Roy currently running
for the role of Attorney general, great State of Texas.
You'll we'll get to your calls on the other side.
Eight hundred nine four one Sean as we continue. Hey,
you know there's a big rumor going around that Sean
Hannity may be running for president.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Now tell me how many people think that's.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
A great idea. Oh boy, stay tuned for more details
right here on the Nity Show. All right, we continue
(15:07):
now with Congressman Chip Roy, great State of Texas, currently running,
by the way, for the role of Attorney general in Texas.
Here's what John Lott wrote in the New York Post,
and he talked about, for example, you know who's benefiting
from the President's crackdown on crime, and he points out
that Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, and
other Democrats howling that Trump's intervention is stoking racial division.
(15:32):
And then he points out the facts in this case,
and he says a National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform
analysis of DC homicides between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty
one found about ninety six percent of victims were African American,
and African Americans suffered disproportionately in other crime categories as well.
(15:54):
And Donald Trump is stepping into save lives. It's very
similar to what Rudy julianni was. I watched him do
in real time when he was the mayor of New
York City.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Last word, yeah, certainly. I mean Juliani and the broken
windows policy, trying to clean up the streets, make it safe.
People all try to turn that all into race based politics,
but now that is all flipping on its head. You
have Black Americans, Hispanic Americans who are flocking to President Trump,
and Republicans who believe in security, who believe in freedom
and believe in allowing people to achieve the American dream
(16:25):
by making sure that those things are in place. That
is one of the other reasons that motivates me to
run for Attorney General of Texas. We must be secure,
if we want to be free. We must be able
to stand up and fight and defend our communities and
our homes from the radical progressives who want to take
it away. And whether you're talking about the march of
Islamists and Sharia law in Texas, whether you're talking about
(16:48):
open borders, or whether you're talking about George Soros, DA's
and prosecutors, you need people who are willing to stand
up and fight. So God bless President Trump for doing
it in DC. We need to do more in Congress
this fall, and I hope to do more as Attorney
General in a year. But God bless you, Sean, and
I appreciate your focus on.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
This all right, Congressman, Ship Royer, Texas currently running for
the role of Attorney General in the great state of Texas.
God bless Texas. Congressman, appreciate you being with us. Take
care by eight hundred and nine foot one, Sean. If
you want to be a part of the program, how
many times did you yourself probably tell somebody. If it
ain't broke, don't fix it. Now, that's probably great advice
on most things, Probably not for your cell phone, because
(17:25):
over time, your cell phone battery life will fade, the
processor won't be able to keep up. Make the switch
to my wireless company, a veteran owned company, America's wireless company,
Pure Talk. You are listening to the best of the
Sean Hannity Show, and stay tuned. More memorable moments, interesting guests,
and a lot of fun coming up next, The best
(18:00):
of the Sean Hannity Show. Coming up, the radio show,
The Mainstream Media a love state.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
You know, we spent years on this program unpeeling every
single layer of the onion for the Russia Russia Russia hoax,
and frankly everything in between. We know that the FBI
had verified the authenticity of Hunter's laptop in twenty twenty then,
of course four years of law fair and weaponization the
(18:32):
likes of which his country had never seen before, all
in an effort to make Donald Trump unelectable if he
chose to run in twenty twenty four. All of it, Now,
that's putting scales to me on this that's putting center
blocks on the scales of an election. Not one, but two,
but three. These are the deep state operators we have
(18:53):
been talking so often about that we have warned you
repeatedly about. Let me play Tulsi Gabbard on how John
Brennan and the intel community purposely mischaracterized intelligence about Russian
interference in the twenty sixteen presidential race. Remember Brennan warned
Obama in July of twenty sixteen, Hillary was up to
(19:14):
no good with this. And remember Bruce or warned everybody,
don't use the dossier. It became the bulk of four
PIZA applications, three of them, by the way, signed by
James Comey himself. But this is Tulsa Gabbard when she
made her announcement about declassification.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Then CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence
and relied on dubious, substandard sources to create a contrived,
false narrative that putin developed a quote unquote clear preference
for Trump. Brennan and the I SEE misled lawmakers by
referencing the debunked Steele dossier to assess quote unquote Russia's
plans and intentions falsely suggesting that this dossier had intelligence
(19:58):
value when he knew that was discredited. The intelligence community
excluded significant intelligence and ignored or selectively quoted reliable intelligence
that contradicted the intelligence community assessment's key findings on Putin's
alleged support for Trump. Including this intelligence reporting would have
exposed the ICA's claim as implausible, if not ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Now, the senior career intelligence officials, these are rank and
file people that work hard every day to keep our
country safe. They did an assessment post twenty sixteen election.
They determined there was no Trump Russia collusion. And by
December of twenty sixteen, when it got in the hands
(20:43):
of Brennan and Clapper and Obama, they didn't like the
real assessment, so they ordered another assessment to create this
alternate reality, as Tulsi was just saying, and absolutely interfering
in all of this. And here Tulsi saying that Brennan
used the Steele dossier to created an alternate reality about
(21:05):
the twenty sixteen election after they had already gotten an assessment,
and then their new assessment said the exact opposite of
what the truth was.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Listen on December fifth of twenty sixteen, the FBI and
ODIE and I gave the House Intelligence Committee its first
post election classified briefing, in which there was no mention
of Putin aspiring to elect Trump by either agency. The
Presidential Daily Brief, drafted on December eighth of twenty sixteen,
stated that no Russian or criminal actors impacted vote counts.
(21:37):
This document was pulled just hours before it was to
be published due to quote unquote new guidance. If it
had been published, it would have been briefed to both
President Obama and President elect Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Then President Obama, he points out, ordered a new assessment
on Russian election medaling after the real assessment didn't give
them the narrative that they wanted listen.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
On December ninth, twenty sixteen, a National Security Council meeting
was called to gather President Obama's senior national security officials,
which included CIA Director Brennan then Obama, dn I, James Clapper,
Susan Rice, and others. Following that secret meeting, DNI, Clapper's
assistant sent an email to the intelligence community with the
subject line potus tasking on Russia election medaling, Tasking od
(22:28):
and I leaders to create a new assessment per the
president's request. The House Intelligence Committee oversite report that we
released today reveals that, quote, unlike routine intelligence community analysis,
the Intelligence community assessment was a high profile product ordered
by the president President Obama.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Then she points out, and this I think is one
of the more damning aspects of it. Then CIA Director
Brennan overruled the CIA officers. That's the rank and file
career senior intelligence officials who challenged the Russia Gate narrative.
In other words, they were saying, what you are doing
is wrong, what you are saying is false, but he
(23:08):
overruled them. Listen.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
The Intelligence Committee's oversight report reveals that CIA Director Brennan
overruled senior CIA officers who challenged the Obama ordered intelligence assessment, stating, quote,
we don't have direct information that Putin wanted to get
Trump elected. Yet the Obama directed assessment was published on
January sixth, twenty seventeen, which explicitly stated, quote, we assess
(23:33):
Putin and the Russian government aspired to help President elect
Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and
publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
End of quote.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Now remember the Steel dossier had been totally completely debunked
by December of twenty sixteen, and she pointed out, and
I won't play it now, but that the Obama administration
then use this debunked dossier. And remember Chris so for
still at this point was out he was being paid
by the FBI. And then of course you know this
(24:05):
is the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier.
How ironic, but it was all a lie from the
very beginning, and it took up over three years of
Donald Trump's first term. The person that one of the people,
and there have been many that paid a very high
price for the lying, for the weaponization, for politicizing the
(24:30):
FBI and our intelligence community is Paul Manifort. He wrote
an incredible book. If you've not read it, I strongly
urge you read it. It's called political Prisoner, Persecuted, prosecuted
but not silenced. Anyway, we welcoming back to the program.
We have a link on Hannity dot com. You can
get it on Amazon dot com. And if you have
(24:50):
not read this book, you have got to read it,
especially in light of this dclassification. Mister matterforth, sir, how are.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
You good Shaw, thank you for having me on again.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Well, I think everybody knows that we're friends, because, of
course I think there were you know, fifteen hundred text
messages between the two of us that were released forget about,
you know, any any privacy rights that I might have
as a member of the press, and they released all
our private text messages. So I guess people know that
we're friends by now.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Well, I certainly hope so, because I think you're doing
a great job for America and for the President, and
a lot of the exposure of this Russian hoax fact
pad and has come in in your direction and show.
So it's really important. And what the President's doing now
I think is very important. It's you know, people say,
(25:41):
why is this all coming out? What is this all about? Well,
it's really important that the lies be be disclosed so
the American people could see how the deep state used
intelligence incorrectly to create false impressions and buried the truth.
And that's what's happening right now. And it does matter.
(26:03):
I mean, whether anybody goes to jail off.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Of it, it matters how many how much time did
you spend in jail.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
They put me in jail for two years, and.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
How many of those months were you in solitary confinement?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Twelve? Actually it was not very much fun.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
And how often did the government come to you and
say to you, will let you out today. And this
is the most amazing part of your book that you describe.
If you just tell us this and this will let
you out today. You can be back with your family today.
You can see your wife and children and grandchildren today.
How many times did they come in and make that offer.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
To you, Well, I don't know. Many times they were
looking to get me to say things they knew I
knew where was not true, and promising me that they
would appreciate it, but they would show their appreciation. But
the fact of the matter was they never had any
facts ever, and their fact patterns were all wrong. And
(27:03):
when I exposed their fact patterns in the conversations, they
just got more angry at me for not lying and
not being willing to do it.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I mean that, look, it may seem to you like
just basic and fundamental, and it would be basic and
fundamental at least, I believe it's always easy to say
when you're not in a situation like that, I know
it's basic and fundamental to your character not to lie.
But what they're basically saying to you is you can
have your freedom if you tell us what we want
(27:32):
to hear about Donald Trump. Wasn't not the Wasn't that
the unspoken deal that they were offering you.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yes, they were looking to get Trump and they thought
that they could get me to give them a timeline
or fact pattern that would allow them to make to
make their case, which they I mean, they didn't even
have dotted lines. They were just gaps of of wrong
facts and and they they tried to get the Don
(28:01):
Junior meeting that we had Trump Tower to be something
it wasn't. And they totally ignored the fact that they
discovered in the course of the investigation of my notes.
You know that dismissed the meeting. Is a waste of
time for everybody focusing on not the campaign, not on Russia,
but on you know, the mcginsky Act. And so, I mean,
(28:23):
there was one thing after another they but they never
had faction. Now you see it in the in what
Gabbart has released and what the FBI director is doing.
You're seeing behind the scenes machinations of them trying to
create the false narrative. You see their lies about leaking classifications.
(28:44):
You see the fact patterns of who told me talking.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well, they were distorting it. They were purposely manipulating it
to say something that that the truth never verified. They
were actually just writing a novel.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Correct, That's exactly what it was. It was a fiction novel.
And what you just highlighted a few minutes ago is
exactly right. On December sixth, when they met at the
White House, the Obama Intel Committee to leadership, they saw
there was nothing there. So what did they do? Obama
called for a total new investigation, which normally would take
four or five six months, and he gave them thirty days. Well,
(29:22):
when you don't care about facts, you can put anything
together in thirty days. And that's what they did, and
that became the foundation to try and destroy your presidency.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
All right, quick break, we'll come right back more with
our friend. Paul Manafort is with us his book Political Prisoner, Persecuted,
Prosecuted Not Silence. It's on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com.
Please read this book. In light of the new declassified
documents that have come out, it is only verifying that
he was a political prisoner. Yes, in the USA. It's
unreal quick break right back more with Paul on the
(29:52):
other side, as we continue, going.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Way beyond the headlines on the stories that matter most
to you. Sean Hennity is on right now.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I will continue with Paul Manifort. With the declassification now out,
it shows now more than ever that this man never
should have spent two years in prison. His book Political Prisoner, Persecuted, Prosecuted,
not Silenced. He can get a copy. I'm telling you
it's worth the read. Go to Kennedy dot com, Amazon
dot com and you'll be shocked at the details in
(30:52):
this book. Let me ask you this, is there any
legal recourse you might have to go after people that
knowingly put you in jail, knowing that they knew better
than to put you in jail. Is there anything that
your lawyers are suggesting in any way that you can
hold these people accountable civilly.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
We're looking into some things, but the reality is I
don't know that. I'm not interested in making the next
four years of my life the last eight years of
my life, and so we're looking at things. But the
facts are coming out which proved my case. As you
said in my book, I mean it's there. Fortunately, I
(31:35):
had some hindsight in writing the book that I was
able to find some of the facts that are coming
out now to expose the corruption. But they were clever
the way they did it. And first things, we got
to get everything aired in the public. We've got to
show the deliberate intention to deceive the American people. And
from there then who knows where it may lead.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
One of the nicest things you ever said to me
was that you know, you would listen to Rush and
then me and then the Great One and then the
prison guards put on Hannity, the TV show at night,
and that that helped you during this very difficult time,
especially when you were in isolation. And that made me
(32:17):
feel really good that you knew that there were people
that remembered you well, not just me, but others as well.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I mean, you all kept the flame burning that there
was a possibility that the truth would come out. And
and I can't tell you how important that was, especially
when I was in solitary, when I had, you know,
I had a TV in my room and for a
little while, and then when when I was put in
the general population for the second year, I was able
(32:46):
to persuade the prison guards to put on Fox at
night so that the whole prison could see it, and
you were one of the most popular shows in the prison.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I love my prisoner listeners.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
The funniest thing is when our text messages got released,
which you know takes wait my right to privacy, but
putting that aside, what you went through is so much worse.
The funny part was, you know, listening to fake news
CNN and MSDNC breathlessly reporting, Oh my god, oh my god,
oh my god, he really believes this stuff. It sounds
like one of his monologues. And I'm like, does that
(33:18):
should I infer from that that you don't believe what
you say on TV and radio? I mean, because yeah,
what I was writing you are the things that I
was saying on the air.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Yeah, exactly, and which proved to be one correct.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, we were more right than we knew. I'm glad
you're out. I don't know. I think I'd be far
more resentful and far more desirous of vengeance than you are.
But you're a better man than me. This never should
have happened to you or your family, and that shouldn't
happen in this country and I urge people go to
(33:53):
Hannity dot com, go to Amazon dot com. It's called
political prisoner, persecuted, prosecuted but not silenced, matterfort We appreciate
you being with us, and I appreciate your friendship.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Thank you, Sean, and I appreciate yours. And then all
you're doing to save this country all.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Mataphor, thank you. This is the best of the Sean
Hannity Show. Don't forget. Stay tuned for more right after
