In the final hour, Bill O’Reilly joins Hannity to break down the mounting fallout from the Tulsi Gabbard declassification bombshell. O’Reilly predicts former CIA Director John Brennan may face indictment for knowingly promoting false intelligence. The duo walks through how intelligence was twisted to target Trump across three elections—from the 2016 Clinton dossier scandal to the Hunter Biden laptop suppression and lawfare in 2024. With sharp insights and fiery commentary, O'Reilly calls for accountability and a full Justice Department reckoning.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Sean Hendy New Sean Hennity Show, More me I'm the scenes,
information on freaking.

Speaker 8 (01:14):
News and more bold inspired solutions for America.

Speaker 6 (01:19):
All right, thanks Scott Channing. An hour two Sean Hannity Show,
Toll Free on numbers eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
So much happening in Washington. We don't want to let
anything go uncovered. There was a hearing that was taking place, uh,
and it has to do with Joe Biden, his brother,

(01:40):
the catastrophe that ensued as a result of his failed policies.
And Senator Ashley Moody from my free state of Florida,
former Attorney General of Florida, watched the Biden administration put
the safety of American families at risk. And here is
what she says.

Speaker 9 (01:57):
She uncovered, And as I pursued litigation, a judge said,
Biden and his administration has turned our border into nothing
more than a meaningless line in the sand. And when
there were warnings that our border would be overrun when
Title forty two was expiring, Florida uncovered documents saying that

(02:18):
their grand plan was to step back and let it
be overrun. And in my litigation as Florida's Attorney General,
I uncovered that not only were they pushing more and
more and more and more and more historic numbers into
our country, unvetted, that they established quote us every day
to make sure that border patrol pushed a certain amount

(02:40):
of numbers into our country that was barely vetted. So,
as attorney general, when I had sheriffs from all over
my state calling me to say that the Biden administration
was canceling detainers on criminals in their jails and telling
them to release them back into the communities.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
I was horrified. A right. Senator Ashley Moody from Florida
joined us. Now, Senator, can you give us more details
about this? We know that they lied when they repeatedly
said the borders closed, the border secure. The border's closed
border secure. It infuriates me beyond words that all of
these people that have been murdered and raped and victims
of violent crime, the Democrats never talk about them. They

(03:20):
are putting the rights of so called rights of illegals
over the safety of Americans. That infuriates me. But let's
get to the specifics of what you uncovered.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Yeah, and this is why I am so not only
honored but really passion driven in the Senate now to
be able to use my background as Attorney General and
everything that I saw happening under the Biden administration and
bring it to the forefront, make sure the people know

(03:50):
what their government was doing to them, to their communities
on purpose. And it has really been just an incredible
six months as the new United States senator. But you're right.
We had a hearing this week and it was to
show what Biden did intentionally to the border and pushing
people here into our communities that were unvetted, knowing that

(04:14):
many of these were criminals, and pushing them into our
communities and to be able to shine a light on that.
And you know, Sean, we're seeing this all over the
place with agencies right now in terms of the real
intentions of what the government was trying to do. And
now we're uncovering it now that we have a new
administration in here, and they're going back and saying, wait

(04:34):
a minute, not only was this moral, it was downright illegal.
See that happening in so many different levels right now.
I think it's important that we stay on this immigration hunt,
if you will, because majoritist was brought before Congress on
numerous times, and like you said, he said, the border

(04:56):
is secure, the border is secure, the border is secure. Meanwhile,
those hearings were conducted while the government agencies under Biden
were holding on to all of the documents that disproved
what he was saying that he was being deceit.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
But Senator, isn't it bigger than documents. I mean, I
was documenting all of it in real time by showing
the videos of wide open borders and the thousands of
and thousands of unvetted illegals pouring across that border. It
was self evident to anybody with eyes to see. What
we didn't know exactly at the time is that known

(05:32):
terrorists were among those people that entered our country illegally.
We have Iranian assassination squads in the country. We know
we have murderers and rapists and other violent criminals and
cartel members and gang members and drug dealers in the
country too. We don't even have an exact number. It's
an estimate anywhere between what ten, twelve and twenty million
people that they allowed into this country unvetted.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yes, yeah, And I think what I'm trying to get
at is you are absolutely right. The American people could
see with our eyes, and you accurately and repeatedly reported
what was happening. But what they didn't share with us
was that in month one, when he was putting out
his plans and policies and executive orders, his own administration said,

(06:15):
if you do this, the border will be overrun. We
will not have the ability to contain this, and we
will not be able to control who's coming into the country.
They knew it intentionally they went ahead and broke down
the borders. We only got those documents a week before
when we were forcing them to trial. They held on
to them until they released them to us, And I

(06:36):
think what that shows is there was app is this
time and time again when they said the border is
secure and we are not jeopardizing this country and we're
not releasing criminals. We have been able to show that
they not only were telling sheriff to release people into
the community the witness testified at the hearing this week,

(06:58):
we're also able to show that they took prisoners out
of the federal prisons that were here only because they
committed crimes and pushed them back into our communities as
opposed to deporting them. So, you know, really getting down
to the intention of that administration and what they were
purposefully doing to this country and to families and communities,
I think is so important. And I think John Cornyn

(07:20):
and other members of the judiciary who joined me in
highlighting that deception.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
I have been saying that they have blood on their hands.
And I also have said that if God forbidden, I
pray to God I'm wrong. I think it's a matter
of when, not if that these terrorists that they led
into the country, we know that they're plotting, planning, and
scheming an attack on our homeland. They'll have more blood
on their hands. Let me ask you this, if you
are one of the families that thousands of families where

(07:48):
you had a loved one that was murdered or raped
or victims of violent crime, and they were sitting there
knowingly lying to us, is what you're saying. Is there
any legal recour you know? I mean, you were the
Attorney General of Florida.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
Absolutely. I mean you're already seeing it in some of
these other things that were uncovering. We're referring to the
FBI and to DOJ cases where people might not have
been truthful with Congress. I mean, I believe that my
Orcis lied to Congress, and I don't think at the
time when don't.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
You think they all lied when they said the border
was secure when they knew otherwise.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
When I was uncovering these documents, when the chief of
Border Patrol was saying, you know, we're pushing dangerous people
into this country and the plan was to let it
be overrun, and Mayorcis was saying differently, I absolutely believe
he deceived Congress, knowingly deceived Congress.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
And I think, well, that.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
In and of itself is a crime. If I go
before your Senate committee and I willfully lie, is not a.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Crime, It is a crime.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
I think it needs to be looked at, and I
do believe it will be. You know, I can't understand
how we have the documents this showed their own people
said that they would be overrun, their overrun. And then
he comes to Congress and says, all is well, it
was the biggest gas lighting of the American people in
the history of our country. It was an invasion.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
What do you think the purpose of this was? Was this?
You know, you if you discussed the possibility that their
hope was to offer something of great value, American citizenship
to large masses of people, that that would benefit them
in the long run, especially if there's close elections and

(09:35):
you have twelve million people, you give them citizenship, you know, well,
that's the great white replacement theory. No, it's not the
great white replacement theory because in favor of legal immigration.
And I don't care where you come from, but we
do need to vet you. We need to know you
don't have radical associations we do need a health check
and we need to know you're not going to be
a financial burden on the American people. After that, I

(09:58):
really don't care where you come from. Welcome to the country,
Thanks for coming in legally. So do you think this
was all designed with a grand scheme to offer citizenship
and hence creative a voting base of grateful people that
you gave them free citizenships.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
Well, we've talked about this before, Sean. When Biden got
in office and I started seeing some of these policies
get cranked out by executive order and the insanity to
the safety of this country in terms of releasing serious
felony offenders that are here illegally just right back into
the community. I mean, even democratic administrations would not have

(10:40):
done that. This was a total upheaval of order and
structure and safety and everything that both sides had always
agreed on. I started referring to it as Biden's handlers
pushing these crazy policies out. And I believe there are
people that believe that there should not be borders, and

(11:02):
there it was a radicals wish list in terms of
what was pushed out as to immigration and so many
other things that related to policy, and as they were
getting put out, I pushed out. I was doing my
best as attorney general. Many of my colleagues around the
country were speaking out, and not just speaking out, fighting
in court to try and stop it. But I truly

(11:26):
believe that there is a subversive, almost anarchist agenda, and
many of those people believe there should not be borders.
And if you go back and read those executive orders
that came out in month one, when their own people
were saying we're going to lose control of the border,
there is no other conclusion to make other than it

(11:47):
was intentional. And whether that was a handler or someone
that had an agenda in the administration, whether that was
Biden himself, it was done on purpose.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
And it's unbelievable. Well, don't me ask you one other
things we've learned from Tulsa Gabbard that evidence was available
to James call me on Hillary Clinton and her top
secret classified information that he purposely didn't use. We learned
that in fact that the Hillary Clinton bought and paid
for dirty Russian dossier was in fact, you know, suspect

(12:22):
from the beginning, and they were even told not to
use it. It became the bulk of information for not one,
but four PISA applications, and three of them signed by
James call Me himself, even after it was totally debunked.
If you look at that, if you look at the
FBI knew in March of twenty twenty, they verified the

(12:42):
authenticity of the laptop and then they went out and
prebunked it to big tech companies. My question is is
there a pattern or a grand conspiracy to put cinder
blocks on scales of elections?

Speaker 5 (12:55):
You know, I think that what the referrals that were
made both by Radcliffe and Gabbard are incredibly important to
restoring faith in this government and bringing us back to
the understanding and belief that it is truly a representative
government of us the people, not just a government run
them up with its own agenda executed by a few

(13:17):
people who want to enact a partisan playbook. And so,
you know, I for one, and I hope all of
America agrees that. Going back and looking through this, and
I think one of the allegations is that Brennan was
not truthful when he testified in terms of the con

(13:40):
the collusion and whether or not he thought that should
be included in the report. I think it should be
looked at. And again, just as we started off this conversation,
if there is nothing to hide, a review of all
of this should concern no one but to restore the
American's faith in the system of government.

Speaker 6 (14:04):
We've got to get to the bottom of it. I mean,
it looks like deep state actors have been involved in
corrupting the system for a while. We appreciate your diligent
work and you're doing great for the state of Florida.
Florida Senator Ashley Moody, thank you for being well us.
As always, we appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
Great to be with a Sean eight.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
Nine one showing us on number. If you want to
be a part of the program, how many times have
you said if it ain't broke, don't fix it now?
That might be great advice for most things. But if
you have a really old cell phone and the battery
life is fading and the processor can't keep up, and
it's maybe been dropped or falling in the toilet one
too many times, well, right now you want to get

(14:43):
in touch with my friends of Pure Talk.

Speaker 10 (14:50):
Have you're ready to get out of the media spin room.
You've come to the right.

Speaker 6 (14:55):
Place, says is the Sean Hannity Show. All right, let's

(15:17):
stay in my free state of Florida. We have Jerry
check it in. Jerry, You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
How are you, sir, hey doing sign?

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Thanks for the taking the call. I just had the
comment it's a.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Few days old.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
But with Hunter's profanity laced three hour podcasts, probably the
only thing that really rained true to me that he
said was just on how successful he thought his father's
presidency was. And after I thought about it for a second,
it was very successful for Hunter and the Biden family.

(15:51):
The pardon fleu mans of dollars came in riding around
on Air Force one.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
So.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
I think that from Hunter's perspective, it probably seemed pretty successful.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
I was shocked, and I like Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan
definitely isn't as political as I am, and I think
he doesn't really want to be involved in the political world,
which probably a smart move on his part. And I
was shocked. But he said, oh wow, I've looked at this,
maybe he should have run for president. I'm like, do

(16:24):
you know anything about this guy? Not a good idea.
But with that said, everyone's entitled to their opinion. Right, Yeah,
he had the best life of anybody. He got rich
off access. There's not one person that is listening to
this show that can make millions and millions of dollars
acknowledging that they have no background, no experience at all whatsoever,

(16:49):
and sit on boards and go on Good Morning America
saying you have no experience and energy, oil, gas coal,
or Ukraine or China, none at all whatsoever. And he
made a fortune. Yeah, good gig for him, not good
for the country. And certainly we didn't exactly see much

(17:10):
progress from his father. And he's just angry and lashing
out and bitter. And you know, maybe he thinks he
sounds cool dropping an F bomb every five seconds. He
sounds stupid to me. And I don't know, he seemed off.
He sound like very angry men. All right, I appreciate
the call, my friend, eight hundred nine one, Shawn number.
We'll get right back to the phones when we come back.

(17:31):
As we continue eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if
you want to call, we'd love to hear from you
when we come back. More of the best of the
Sean Hannity Show. Stay tuned, you are listening to the

(18:00):
best of the Sean Hannity Show.

Speaker 10 (18:03):
Hannity uncovers the real truth about the politics of DC.
He's your watchdog on Big Brother every Day. Hannity is
on right now.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
Who started the show with a comprehensive analysis of you
know what Tulsi Gabbard has uncovered and declassified in terms
of the DNI. And it's getting very, very very bad
for those deep state actors, you know, the very people
that we talked about, and we talk about, you know,

(18:40):
the intelligence coming out early on, as early even in
December of twenty sixteen, after the election. Career professionals, that is,
rank and file with the within the intelligence community had
an assessment by then long well over a month after

(19:01):
the election that no, Russia did not try to help
Donald Trump and secure the election for Hillary Clinton. I
just went through this in chapter and verse I won't
repeat myself, that that didn't happen. And then, of course
that you have this meeting with Joe Biden, Obama and
Clapper and call me and Susan Rice and I'm not
sure who else might have been in there, just a

(19:23):
couple of weeks before Obama leaves office and Donald Trump
takes office and they decide they want a new intelligence
community assessment, and that assessment based on the same information,
except they did include the Dirty Russian disinformation dossier, which
by that time had been completely debunked. Remember they had
gotten rid of Christopher Steele in December of twenty sixteen,

(19:47):
and he was out as a result of this, and
they still used it for FIS applications, and then they
use this for the Intelligence Community reassessment, if you will,
And this is what John Solomon been calling the polluted assessment.
In other words, they polluted the real intelligence. They corrupted
it to fit a narrative that wasn't true and didn't exist.

(20:10):
And then they got their friends and the complicit media
to run with this story, and run with it they did,
and they pedaled lies in conspiracy theories to the entire country.
And then you have people like the congenital liar Adam
Schiff and others just flat out, flat out line in
spite of all the evidence to the contrary about all
of it. And you know, the danger here is and

(20:33):
this is why I think this Grand Conspiracy investigation of
Cash Fattel is going to be very, very critical, because
if they get away with this, then you got to
look at what the issues that came up in twenty twenty.
And I don't want to repeat myself, but I'll go
into a little detail, and that is in March of
twenty twenty, we know for a fact that the FBI

(20:56):
had authentic had literally validated the authenticity. They confirmed the
authenticity of the very real Hunter Biden laptop. Then they
embarked on a journey for the summer of twenty twenty
to meet with all the leaders of every big tech
company once a week, warning these tech companies that they

(21:18):
may be victims of a Russian disinformation campaign. And anyway
they did it, why they were pre bunking what they
knew would be made public. I keep telling everybody Bob
Costello had a copy of the laptop from Hell Hunter's laptop.
He was at the time Rudy Giuliani's attorney. They knew

(21:40):
this thing would drop, They just didn't know when it
would drop, so they were trying to get ahead of it.
Lo and Behold, even though they confirmed the authenticity of
the laptop in March of twenty twenty, when the New
York Post drops the story and it's now public, you
have some big tech companies reaching out to the FBI
asking is this what you were warning us about? And

(22:04):
the answer came back they wouldn't confirm what they knew
to be true, and that resulted in the suppression of
the story all over social media, and that helped that
was that obviously has taken us. You know, cinder blocks,
a men block, putting it on the scale of an
election to help Joe Biden against Donald Trump and what

(22:25):
turned out to be an extraordinarily close election. I mean,
I think three states alone forty four thousand votes and
we have a different result for crying out loud. And
that's the danger of that type of power that is
tipping the scales of an election, deep state actors, you know,

(22:45):
putting cinder blocks on the scale of an election. And
it went even deeper than that. And then I would
argue in twenty from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four,
all of the law fair and the weaponization against Donald Trump,
you know, the the Alvin Bragg novel legal theory, the
falls valuation of ma Lago, you know, mug shots and

(23:09):
fingerprinting of Donald Trump. You know, statute of limitations had
run out on what was a legal non disclosure agreement
in New York. It was a misdemeanor on top of
everything else. How that evolved into a thirty four count
felony count indictment is beyond anyone's comprehension. And then, of
course an unfriendly venue or the phony evaluation of Mara

(23:32):
Lago at eighteen million dollars when the property's worth well
over a billion. Now. Aaron Wright is an Assistant Attorney
General for the Office of Legal Policy in the Department
of Justice, currently running for Texas State Attorney General, giving
us his thoughts on these new developments and Pam Bondi's
announcement last night and resulting from the investigation at the

(23:57):
Department of National Intelligence under toll See Gabbard, Sir, Welcome
to the program. How are you.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
I'm doing great, sean under under the circumstances. Shocked in
appalled that everything you've just laid out, just like many
of your listeners are.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
What does it mean what Pam Bondi announced last night?
Why is that? You know? Why is that so imperative?
Based on the declassified information released by Tulsi.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, so, look, the Justice Department is going to go
through a few stages before any criminal charges can can
possibly get brought. Number one is what we're all reading
about now, is the creation of this strike force to
discern whether or not there is a basis to open
up a criminal investigation. So step one is to discern

(24:42):
whether we can open up a criminal investigation. That's the
purpose of the strike force. Step two is going to
be to formally open up a criminal investigation to determine
whether there's any credible evidence that any number of various
federal laws have been violated. And then number three, if
the criminal investigation review that there is that there are
facts and law leading to the ability to bring an indictment,

(25:05):
then step three will be indictments will be brought against
any particular targets, whether that's President Barack Hussein Obama or
Clapper or that whole crew. You've listed all the names,
and so that's how this is going to unfold in
the coming days and weeks. But I will tell you,
as somebody who served as the presidentially appointed Senate confirmed

(25:25):
head of the Office of Legal Policy under Bondie and
under a Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, I'm very, very
very confident that they're taking this with deadly seriousness that
it deserves.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
What about you can factor into this not only the
strike force, but the Grand Conspiracy investigation that we learned
just a couple of weeks ago, that was open weeks
before that by the FBI Director Cash Bettel, because that
would that would be a very broad net in terms
of you know, going back almost from the time that
Donald Trump came down the escalator at Trump Tower in

(26:00):
twenty fifteen, all the way through Jack Smith, and that
would entail whether or not there is a systemic effort
by deep state operatives and in this case altering what
career and professional rank and file intelligence officials concluded that
was then polluted and corrupted. I would argue for political purposes.

(26:23):
That's my read on it. That's my interpretation of it.
But all the way through Jack Smith, which means, you know,
are they putting cinderblocks on the scales of presidential elections?
Did they do it? In twenty sixteen? Did they do
it when fifty one former Intel officials that know nothing
about Hunter's laptop, you know, race out to tell the

(26:44):
world as all the markings of Russian interference, when in reality,
none of them even examine the laptop or the weaponization
of the DOJ and from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four.
I believe that was designed just to destroy Trump so
he could never even think about running. You know, are
we looking at three presidential elections in a row.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yes, I think that that's right. And look, national figures
like you Sean have been exposing this grand conspiracy for
years and years, and the left wing media and their
cronies and government have been telling people like you and
me and your listeners, and they've been gaslighting us, telling
us that it's all fake, there's nothing to see here.

(27:24):
And yet one day after another, every passing week, every
passing month, there are more and more documents that are
getting declassified and revealed. And it turns out everything that
you and I have been saying for the past now
nearly a decade, has come to be true. We now
go all the way back to the twenty sixteen presidential election.

(27:45):
We knew you're exactly right when we've talked a lot
about the years between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four
to destroy President Trump, the attempts to destroy him before
he could even run for president. That failed, obviously, But
when you go back to twenty six team, the deep state,
the left wing media, and the liberals and power were
so furious that Donald Trump had upset their plans to

(28:08):
maintain power that they, in the most corrupt, treasonous manner possible,
put the cinder blocks, as you said, the cinder blocks
on the scales of justice and on the scales of
a presidential election for the express purpose of screwing President
Donald J. Trump. And they thought that their plan was
going to work. They thought that their scheme was going

(28:29):
to work. It hasn't worked, and now we are vindicated.
I expect that justice is going to be done now.
I think that it's so obvious to the American people
and to law enforcement what was happening here to try
to undermine the President of the United States using this
grand conspiracy, that I expect that justice will be done.

Speaker 6 (28:48):
Quick break right back. More with Aaron Wright, who's the
Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy at
the DOJ is also currently running for Texas State Attorney General.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
Hannity Watch is on. We continue now. Aaron Writes is

(30:05):
with US Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal
Policy at the DOJ, currently running for Texas State Attorney General.
You know, we have so much evidence now that they're gathering,
as you know, as Tulsea Gabbard puts out, you know,
new evidence now emerging of the most egregious weaponization and
politicization of intelligence in American history, and per President Trump's direction,

(30:29):
I have declassified a House Intel Oversight Majority Staff report
that exposes how the Obama administration manufactured the January twenty
seventeen Intelligence Community assessment that they knew was false, promoting
the big lie that Vladimir Putin and Russia helped Donald
Trump In twenty sixteen, I played last night, I played

(30:51):
earlier in this program today. Everybody in the media, every Democrat,
was singing from the same hymnal, with a few exceptions
like myself and yourself. You know, there weren't many alternative
voices out here.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Totally right. And here's the other thing that I think
is really just takes my and other American's breath away.
We've always known about the existence of a nefarious deep
state that has attempted, sometimes successfully, sometimes not, to thwart
the presidents and the conservative and the Republican agenda. What's
shocking about these latest revelations is that the deep state

(31:26):
was actually operating under the directives of not just any
senior executives of the Obama administration, but Obama himself. Got
the initial reporting about the lack of Russian interference or
preference for Donald Trump in December of twenty sixteen. He
didn't like what the report said, and he said, go

(31:47):
back and do it again. And oh, by the way, well.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Let me ask you a question, because we have everyone
just assumes that he'll be covered by presidential immunity, can
you explain to me how him doing this as part
of his official acts?

Speaker 3 (32:00):
You can't commit crimes in your official capacity. And so
if you commit a crime in this case, what's being
you know, it's not formally being alleged, but treason is
being thrown out there, and it's potential that he could
be he could be indicted for treason. But you can't
commit treason in an official capacity. You can't commit to

(32:21):
these another easy example, you can't commit murder in your
official capacity and say that's okay. And so, while we
did get a good ruling out of the Supreme Court
on the questions of the scope of presidential immunity, the
scope of presidential immunity is not unlimited, and it doesn't
extend to a president who may have committed treason. It

(32:43):
doesn't extend to an FBI director or a CIA director
or a director of National Intelligence. It doesn't extend to
cabinet members who actively are engaged in undermining a follow
on administration to thwart the transit, the lawful transition of
power from one president to the next. And so anybody
saying that, oh, presidential immunity, who's just doing his job,

(33:05):
that's not good enough. Now, look, if the facts and
the law are there to establish a credible case for
treatment or other high crimes and misdemeanors, then it's entirely
then those things will be outside of the scope of
presidential immunity. So anybody trying to say, oh, don't worry,
I think that's just a cope. It's not true. And

(33:26):
at the end of the day, if the DOJ strikeforce
ultimately results in opening up a criminal investigation, which then
evolves or ripens into bringing in an indictment for treason
or other crimes, presidential immunities may be a defense that
Obama and others raise, but it will be a defense
that fails.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
Appreciate your time, and we're going to watch this very
very closely, and I think there's a reckoning coming. Andrew
Writ's Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy
at the Department of Justice, currently now running for Texas
State Attorney General. Were going to watch that race also
very closely as well. We appreciate your time, sir.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Thank you. Sean, take care.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
