Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, thanks Scott Channing.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hour two Sean Hannity Show, Toll free, It's eight hundred
and ninety four one sewn if you want to be
a part of the program. It has been a huge
breaking news week for our friend John Solomon, Editor in chief,
founder and chief investigative reporter justinnews dot com. John broke
the big story about James Comy last night. He's broken
other stories this week. We woke up to the news that,
(00:24):
in fact, FBI agents have rated former National Security advisor
John Bolton's home. I have sources. I know what this
is really all about. But we'll see what John sources
have to say first and then see see if our
sources match. Mister Solomon, you've had quite a week, and
(00:45):
we're going to do a little summary of the week.
You've had a great investigative week.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I know how hard you work. We've worked for years together.
There's nobody that digs in deeper, There's nobody that has
deeper contacts than you, and I congratulate you on your
hard work. And in many ways it's a culmination of
all the work and all the reporting that you did
for the years that we did Russia, Russia Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine,
Ukraine and everything in between. I mean, so, I'm very
(01:13):
proud of you, proud to be your friend, and thank
you for all your hard work. And you've been proven right.
We've been proven right on this show, and we never
get credit. I don't think I'm getting a pull up surprise,
although you definitely deserve one.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, I don't want to pull it surprise.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I just love doing this and I love telling the truth.
And you, you and I have been able to do
so many amazing things together. And you know, this morning
we wake up to another sign of what law and
order may look like in the Trump era, which is
something that comes from a court, not from a political playbook.
In Hillary Clinton's basement or Barack Obama's basement, a court
(01:47):
gave the FBI permission and ordered it to search the
home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, he's a critic of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
He's a critic of Cashpertelli tried to I think a
post Cashptel's nomination for FBI director. But the end day
they go to a court, they raise some concerns about
classified information releases and maybe perhaps misuse of the classified information.
They get a chance to review his home, get the
evidence out of the home, and then see where it leads.
(02:14):
This is an investigation they got stymied under Joe Biden.
Today it is back in motion, and.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
It shows it.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
No matter how powerful you are, no matter how many
friends you have in Washington, how much distinguished work he did,
he was a un the back.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
By the way, are there such things as friends in Washington? Seriously,
because if you want a friend in DC, you should
get a dog. I offered to get the President Trump
a dogg He laughed at me.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Dog's a much better choice. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
But you know he obviously he's been in the establishment
a long time for administrations he's served in. But at
the end of the day, the law appears to be
blind on this. And we'll see how they treat him,
what they learned from the raid, what they get in
the search worm, and then see if there is anything
that comes of it.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
But that happened today, and I.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Think there's a you know they things are returning to normal.
It's like common settling over the city. This is the
way the Justice Department used to work before it got hijacked.
At the end of the Obama administration. Courts approved things,
things happen. There's not a lot of politics involved. There
isn't a lot of you know, political fanfare being stirred up.
Parah went and did his job. They're not going to
(03:19):
talk about it, and they go on. And I think
that's the way the court system used to run before
it got weaponized and politicized by the Democrats and their
friends and government. So that's what happened today, and I
think it's a reminder that maybe under Donald Trump, things
are getting back to normal now.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Now, I've had sources tell me that this is more
directly involved to intelligence that he had access to and
that it might have to do with foreign adversaries.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Have you heard anything similar, Well.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
There's always that concern.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's why there's a national security component to classified information.
You want to make sure that somebody either neither intentionally
or unwittingly provided information that could give comfort or aid
or a strategic advantage to a foreign enemy. I think
we ought to even see let's see what comes of
this information, Let's see what weight comes of the thing
(04:11):
with John Bolton had a lot of clients. You know,
he's a foreign policy advisory as a business. One of
the places they searched this morning was his business office.
But I think one of the just like the justice system,
is getting back to being normal. I think the way
we in the media should treat things, which is, let's
give everybody the benefit do Let's see what the search
warrant returns. The next thing we'll learn is somewhere in
(04:33):
the next few weeks the FBI will report to the
court here's the search warrant returns, and here is the
affidavit of why we search.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
The court.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
When we get that information, we'll have a little bit
better sense of the skille.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
But I do think.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Anytime you're talking about a classified information league, the first
concern is did this intentionally or unintentionally given assistance to
one of our enemies, one of our foreign powers. And
I think that is at the root of this case
as well.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Let me give you a little background on my relationship
with John Bolton, because there was a time we got
along and I did have respect for him, and it
was during very early on and when Donald Trump won
the election in twenty sixteen, I remember where I was
when he called me. We had a very long and
at times a little bit heated conversation and he was
(05:20):
asking me if I would, you know, put in a
good word with him with a president. I'm like, well,
that's not what I do. I said, I've known President
Trump for thirty years. I know he's looking for good people.
But I said, John, I've known you a long time.
Your foreign policy does not match up, is not in
sync with Donald Trump's.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And it really, for me, was that simple.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And he assured me over and over and over again,
Oh no, no'm I've evolved that I'm I'm I want
to serve the president's foreign policy.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It seemed like very early on he had a very
different agenda. He did not live up to the promise
that he was making me when he was begging me
to speak out on his behalf.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, listen, there's a moment, and there's a gentleman that
worked for John Bolton for a long time, very well
respected former ci unless. He became the chief of Staff
of the National Security Council and Trump won Fred Flights
and Fred Flights wrote a really powerful article on Fox
News around the time that John Bolton put his book out.
In the book is the first time that we had
(06:23):
some questions about whether he had improperly really classified information
or was going to really improperly classified information. And Fred
Flights wrote a really thoughtful article which is listened. John
Bolton's had a lot of these fingers things and has
curried made a lot of friends.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
He worked at the un served multiple presidents. But this
book is not a book to.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Help the American people understand national policy or foreign policy.
It's a vengeance book, a revenge book, and that is
beneath John Bolton. He really encouraged John Bolton not to
publish the book, which wasn't you know, for John Bolton,
probably a shock. This guy had always worked with him
and they had a great relationship. But something happened at
the end of the first Trump administration with John Bolton.
(07:05):
Obviously he didn't see how to die when the president
the president fired him. The President's foreign policy has proven
to be very successful. Is many European leaders just admitted
Monday in the White House.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
But I think John Bolton.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Went in a different direction, and for the first time,
a guy who seemed to be very buttoned up and
really just about the policy and just about humbly serving
the president became a guy who thought he could challenge
a president and at the end of the day, I
think he bet wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I think the American people.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Made a better bet than he did.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And the question now is in that drive and.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
That effort to become suddenly an opposition to a president
he had served, did he do something that compromised national security?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And we'll see what the FBI finds.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You know what's fascinating about it is, you know there
was a time he did not evolve with the advancement
of military technology. I mean, look at, for example, the
impact drones are having in the conflict in the Middle
East and the conflict in Europe. I've been arguing for
some time the next general or weaponry will enable wars
to be fought in air conditioned offices, not on a
(08:05):
battlefield like like had been done historically. And there just
seem to be people that want to cling to this
old version of warfare, and Donald Trump's not one of them.
He's talking about a golden dome that would keep this
country safe. It may if he's successful at building it,
I mean he might that might end up being his
greatest legacy. The media made fun of strategic defense of
(08:25):
Ronald Reagan when he proposed it.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
They called it star wars Wars.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They mocked it, and they generated all this animation on
TV and you know, now it plays out in real
time in the Middle East, in Israel, and it's saving lives,
you know, almost on a daily basis. So I don't
think he really grew. I don't think Liz Cheney or
the Cheneys grew, and they just they've come they just
have this hatred of Trump. But with that said, I
(08:50):
agree with you. You know, people are innocent until proven guilty.
Let's see if my sources turn out to be right.
I hear it has to do with national security secrets.
He wrote the book, didn't get permission. All right, Now,
let's move on to your one of the other big
stories of the week, and you've had a lot of them,
that's James call me.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Thanks. Yeah, listen, this is important.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
When these doctors were released a couple of weeks ago,
we got a couple of good scoops out of them.
One of them was the Adam Shiff story that Adam
Shiff's own stafford went to the FBI and said he
authorized the leak of classified information. I think that's illegal, unethical,
in treasonous. That's the exact words that the Democrat staffer
told the FBI, but of course Adam Schiff got a pass.
There was a large block of these documents that had
(09:31):
a big black markop and they were redacted. They were
kept from seeds. I believe they contained information that was
not classified nor was it covered by grand jury secrecy.
And so I appealed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and
her team, and she agreed, and she, alongside of Caspitil,
they unredacted that information yesterday they sent it back to Congress.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I got a copy of it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And what you see in that is that Comy's own
chief lawyer is chief counsel when he was FBI director
told the FBI that he James Comy, James Baker, the
lawyer and the witness who's admitting to this, and the
chief of staff for James Combe, James Orbickey, all at
the FBI, the top three guys in the FBI worked
together to illegally the league classified information to the New
(10:17):
York Times the first time in October twenty sixteen, right
on the eve of the election, where Donald Trump and
Hillary Clinton were neck and neck, and then there were
some concerns that that happened again afterwards. That is a
rear moment when an insider in the inner circle of
a person a leaker admits that this happened and a
prayer that it got kept from us.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
The first time that.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Cash Pttel got the documentary American public, the Justice Department
had made that redaction. They admit it was a mistake.
They unredacted him. We now know that the United States
government had very strong evidence to believe that James Comy
had authorized the leak of classified information information that would
harm national security because it was released and the once again,
(11:01):
just like the Hillary Clinton Foundation investigators, just like the
IRS agents who tried to go after Hunter Biden for
the tax crimes, just like the agents who wanted to
go after Hillary Clinton's we classified email server issues, they FBI,
the Justice Department shut down this investigation and said, you're
not going to inde you on We're decided not to
(11:23):
indict anyone. In fact, there's a moment where they have
a chance to get some emails that would be corroborating
and really understand just how far the leaking may have
been and just who was involved in it. And then
the usis I was saying, no, you don't need to
go get We're not going to go get those, So
once again an example of the dual system of justice,
the lack of curiosity that seemed to occur whenever someone
(11:43):
who was a Democrat or a friend of the Democrat
and government was accused of wrongtoing, they got protected and
very different in the way than dot Donald Trump got
treated and his followers got treated in that same system.
This is a story that's going to be now. People say,
is it's just a history lesson town, Why should I care?
The answer is there is a ten year statute covering
(12:03):
this potential type of disclosure of national intelligence information. And
Pam Bondy was very clear in my story saying that
people who were entrusted. First off, she said that James Comy,
based on what's in these documents, clearly engaged in abhorrent
conduct along with his top leaders. But what he added,
I think this is a warning sign to Comy. If
(12:24):
I'm Comy's lawyers, I'm a little more nervous today.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Quote this is directly from Pambondy.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
There must be accountability for those who were entrusted with
safeguarding our nation's secrets and failed to do so. And
I think that's a sign that with these grand juries
coming up, the Grand Conspiracy case, the strike force that's
been that James Comy may be looked at and this
evidence may still be relevant to criminal charges going forward.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Right quick break, right back more with John Solomon, editor
and chief, founder and chief investigative reporter justinnews dot com
on the other side. Also coming up later on the program,
our friend Mark Halperm will join us and we continue
with John Solomon. He is the founder, editor in chief,
chief investigative reporter of justinews dot com. It's amazing that
(13:08):
all of the reporting that if we go all the
way back when Donald Trump came down the escalator, they've
been out to get this guy. And I would argue,
we have you know, the Grand conspiracy starts before the
twenty sixteen election. After the twenty sixteen election, the pre
bunking of the very real Hunter laptop, knowing that Bob Costello,
(13:28):
then Rudy's attorney would leak it and then law Fair
from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four to bloody Donald
Trump up and render him incapable of running and even
hopefully putting him in jail. I think a very compelling
case is coming up, and for the first time, I
really believe people will be held accountable.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'll give you the last thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I think that's true.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Listen, the evidence is coming out that we didn't know
about it stronger than we thought. The actions are worse.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Than we thought.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
And I think that you have in Pam Bondi, in
Cash Bettel, a dual headed team, a great team with
great instincts, in great commitment to getting truth and accountability,
and we haven't had that in.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Prior FBIS and Justice Department.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
They could go down in history as one of the
most consequential duels to head the DJ and FBI at
the same time.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Let's see if they deliver that record.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But I think for those who want accountability, there's a
growth and optimism from just a few short weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I will tell you that that could be the dynamic duo.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Your piece points out how working together that you know
justice is going to be served and a lot of
accountability is coming. And I don't want to overpromise and underdeliver.
We've been disappointed too many times, but really a terrific
you know, news breaking week for you. Thank you for
sharing it with this audience. We appreciate you as always,
and I hope people will care about this as much
(14:48):
as I do, because if we allow people to impact
our elections and put cinder blocks on the scales of
an election, we don't have a country. John Solomon, editor
in chief, founder and chief investigative re order justinnews dot com.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Thank you, sir. Have a great weekend as well.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Sean, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You know, we talk a lot about law and order
and safety and security. We've talked a lot about, you know,
thanks to Biden, Harris may Orcus and all these democrats
and a complicit media lying now we have known terrorists
and murderers and rapists and cartel members and gang members
in the country, on top of Americans that are murderers
(15:25):
and rapists and drug dealers and violent criminals and gang members,
et cetera. I mean, I wish that evil didn't exist.
Evil does exist. Deliver us, you know, lead us, not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Actually wrote a
whole book about it, called Deliverers from Evil. And there
are people that would you know, wouldn't think twice about
(15:46):
killing you and killing your family, and killing you and
killing your employees, and so the President, to his credit,
is out there, went on patrol yesterday and is feeding
the the agents, the National Guard troops that have been
out there on patrol. And lo and behold, we've had
a successful week in the nation's capital. Now, before President
(16:09):
Trump got involved, Washington, d C. Is the number one
capital city in terms of homicides forty one per one
hundred thousand people. The next highest homicide rate is sixteen.
I mean, that's how bad it's gotten in Washington, d C.
And on top of that, what did we learn. We
learned that officers are now speaking out. Whistleblowers are speaking out,
(16:31):
the police union is speaking out, and they're saying, yeah,
those numbers are inaccurate because they have been purposely cooking
the books and lying to the country and lying to
the people in DC. Washington, d C. Averaged three point
six murders a week in twenty twenty four, compared to
zero murders since Donald Trump deployed the National Guard. The
(16:52):
message has gone out. Pam Bondi is updating the arrest statistics.
They've got over six hundred and fifty six arrests at
this point, including by the way, eighty six illegal guns.
They're making incredible progress. Here's the President. He was out
on patrol yesterday. He was handing out pizza and burgers
and thanking people, the guards and law enforcement for doing
(17:16):
the great job they're doing to keep the people in
DC safe and secure.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
We've had some.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Incredible results and results have come out, and it's like
a different place.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's like a different city. It's the capital. It's going
to be the best in the world. We're going to
do what you're doing with law enforcement, and very.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Importantly also, we're going to physically do it. We're going
back to Congress for some money and we're going to
redo a lot of the pavement, a lot of the medians,
a lot of the Graffiti's all coming off real fast.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It's going to come down real fast.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
And we're going to be not so much building, it's
cleaning and fixing and redoing and putting brand new surfaces
down on your roads and streets.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And when people come in from.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
The airport all the way to the Capitol, of.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
The White House or any place they going, they're.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Going to say, wall, this place is spotless.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
You do the job on safety, and I'll get this
place fixed up physically.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And we're going to be so proud of it at
the end of six months.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
But let's say at the end of a year, this
place will be maxed out in terms of beauty.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I talk all the time on this program that I
have a personal safety security strategy for every situation that
I know that I'm going to find myself in. When
I go out at my home, when I'm at work,
you have to. I've had too many threats over the
course of my career, and I won't talk about them often,
but I've had plenty of them, and you know, it
(18:38):
was especially tough when you have young kids and you're
getting real threats, including a fatwah on my head. That
was not a pleasant time in my life. But I
am urging everybody you must have a personal safety security
plan for you and your family. There are bad, evil
people in this world. I wish they didn't exist. And
(18:59):
I said this when I deliver us from evil, is
that it's very hard for good people to wrap their
minds around the concept that evil does exist and evil
doesn't think twice. You know an evil human being, How
evil do you have to be to harm a child,
to rape a child? Those pedophiles exist.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
That is evil.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
The lowest scum of the earth, or people that wouldn't
blink and take your life or take the life of
your your spouse or your children. They don't care. So
you know we have you know, there is the lethal option,
and I carry a pistol. I've been a believer in
the Second Amendment my entire life. I usually carry the
(19:40):
six hour P three sixty five in case you're interested.
But I also have my burner cl which is a
non lethal option. And I've been urging all of you
their advertisers on this program, but that's not why I'm
having them on today. This is not an infomercial. This
is about how to protect yourself, your family if that
God forbid moment ever comes. And you see this in
(20:02):
small towns and big cities all across the country, this
idiocy of defund dismantled no bail laws. Look at this,
you know, look at the recent criminal that got out
and killed somebody had been in jail, you know, for
less than twenty four hours before, and four separate arrests.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
How many more.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
People are going to have to die? And what are
you going to do if the God forbid moment comes
in your life? I care too much about all of
you in this audience. The life I live, which is
my dream that has come true, is only because of
all of you. And if I don't share with you,
you know my passionate belief that everybody needs a security
(20:40):
and safety strategy, regardless of who you are, where you live,
what your age is, what your sex is, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if you're trained in situational self defense
as I am, because you may not have that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I just urge everyone. I think one way.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
And there are people that are afraid of a firearm,
for example, but I don't think you'll be afraid of
the non lethal option. It's legal in all fifty states.
You don't need a permit, you don't need a background check.
It fires very powerful projectiles and that's tear gas, pepper spray,
kinetic rounds, and you can incapacitate any perpetrator. You can
(21:19):
hit a target forty to fifty sixty feet away with
incredible accuracy. I know because I practiced with my burner,
and I can shoot that more than I can my pistol.
Because of the hearing loss I've had with all these
years that have been on radio.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Anyway, we have.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Josh Schirard is with us. He is director of Law
Enforcement for Berner and Brian Gann, CEO of Berner and anyway,
they both join us today. You know now that the
nation's kind of dialed in and focusing their attention on
safety and security.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I can't tell you how many advertisers and Linda can
back me up on this.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
People.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'll give you an example. Gambling companies. They want betting
betting sites. They have offered US millions and millions and
millions of dollars to be advertised on the program. I
did it one early point when they first started, But
I had no idea become such a nationwide epidemic in
terms of gambling addiction, and I don't really want to
be a part of it. The only advertisers I take
(22:20):
and that I will give my endorsement to are products
that I truly believe in. And your product, Brian, when
we first met, I knew right away that this had
the potential to really become big. Now you've become bigger
than ever. Five hundred plus government agencies support this technology.
They're using your products, police departments, private security firms. You know,
(22:42):
I would just urge everybody please look at their videos,
educate yourself with them, decide for yourself if this technology
is good for you anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Good to have you back, and same with you, Josh.
Great to have you back.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Well, it's great to be on the show with you. Sean,
thank you very much. You know, I remember the first
time I came down to your house and we're out
in the backyard and we're shooting, and I said, look,
you know, I've been a gun owner my whole life,
but you know, I don't know how quick i'd be
to pull the trigger, and you know, and then I
worry if I hesitate, is that a fatal hesitation for me?
(23:14):
And I said, what do you think? Do I represent
five percent or ten percent of gun owners? And I'll
never forget this, Sean, you said to me, he says, Brian.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I'm a gun owner.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Two been a gun owner my whole life, he said,
He said, But ninety percent of gun owners live in
mortal fear of having to pull the trigger and take
a life because the consequences of doing that, particularly in
the society we live in today, are overwhelming. I mean legally,
financially and with the burner we give people the opportunity
(23:43):
to stop at a sail and without the risk of
taking a life or causing permanent injury. And you know,
it's been very important to me, and I know it's
been very important to you.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I quick break more with Josherard and Brian Ganz on
the other side from Berner Byurna dot Com. By the way,
the final hour of the Sean Hannity shows up next.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Hang on for Sean's conservative.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Solutions as evil is real and the reality is people
have to defend themselves. And Josh, you know, maybe for
people that are reluctant to go with a firearm and
lethal force at the very least, I think you need
a burner in your household. I have numerous burners that
are strategically located all throughout my house. To be very honest,
(24:30):
I'm not giving away my personal security strategy. I'm telling
you stay away from my house. It's not going to
end well for you.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Absolutely, I'm you know, I've been a cop for over
twenty years and carried a gun for that long as well.
But I also I am a stats guy. I'm data driven,
and I want to know. Not only do I want
to prepare for the worst case scenario. I want to
be able to be prepared for what's most likely to happen.
And when we look at stats, historically, the chance of
you having to use deadly force in the course of
(24:55):
your life is astronomically low. We're talking in twenty twenty three,
four hundred and seven, there were four hundred seventy one
justifiable homicides in the United States. So four hundred and
seventy one people had to utilize a gun to defend
themselves and kill another individual. That's one in seven hundred
thousand chants of you having to do that. Now, when
we look at the victimization of just violent crime in general,
(25:18):
of a lesser degree, your chances of being a victim
of some sort of violent crime are about one in
two hundred and sixty one in two hundred and sixty
So your chance of having to use some sort of
self defense that's less than lethal self defense is so
much greater. Why wouldn't you have some sort of plan,
Why wouldn't you have some sort of tool, some sort
(25:39):
of device to be able to make sure that you
can defend yourself among so many different circumstances, Because you
are not going to be taking someone's life. The chance
of you having to pull the trigger and kill someone
in someone's life just is so so very low.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
This is really just so applicable to.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
So many situations and so many different people.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
But you know, Sean, it's interesting. I was on a
podcast the other day with John Locke, and I don't
know how many of your audience know him, but he's
the guy that wrote the book More Guns, Less Crime,
And in his study he came up with a statistic
that if you use a gun to stop a crime,
(26:20):
ninety five percent of the time, you don't need to
pull the trigger. Why because most of these criminals are cowards.
If they see that you're prepared to fight back in
whatever way, they're going to turn and they're going to find,
you know, an easier mark, an easier victim. So when
you're carrying the burner, which as you know, looks very
(26:40):
very much like a real firearm, we see this.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Even well, no, well, it does look like a firearm.
If you get the color I get, which is black,
which looks like a firearm. Linda has pink, orange, and yellow,
it looks like a toy.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Well, you know, there are some people that wanted to
look like a firearm, and there's some people that wanted
to look less lethal. But if you pull out this
launcher and you pointed at somebody, the vast majority of
people are going to turn on their heel and turn away.
And you know, there's something interesting with what's going on
in DC. I mean, you pointed out a very very
(27:17):
important statistic. This is the murder capital of the world.
As soon as the president put troops on every corner,
federalize the police, there's been no murders. Why because people
see that there's cops out there and they're afraid. If
you're prepared to stand up, if you're prepared to defend yourself,
(27:37):
you couldn't get people to back off. And I think
that you know, for most people, you are your first
you are your own first responder. I mean, what is
it normally the police seven minutes to get to you.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
That's that's it.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
The quickest response team. Whatever is going to happen will
have happened the quickest response team. Listen. I urge people
to please take a look at your product. You're an advertiser,
not because of any other reason. Is I am a
passionate believer in your technology. Just go to their website,
look at the videos, decide for yourself. I think every
(28:11):
one of you hearing my voice now should have one
by RNA dot com. It is effective. Five hundred government
agencies have adopted this technology for a reason. Police departments
are adopting it for a reason.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It works.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Brian appreciate you. Josh appreciate you as well. Thank you both.
Eight hundred ninety four one Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program,
All right, thanks Scott Channing.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hour two Sean Hannity Show, Toll free, It's eight hundred
and ninety four one sewn if you want to be
a part of the program. It has been a huge
breaking news week for our friend John Solomon, Editor in chief,
founder and chief investigative reporter justinnews dot com. John broke
the big story about James Comy last night. He's broken
other stories this week. We woke up to the news that,
(00:24):
in fact, FBI agents have rated former National Security advisor
John Bolton's home. I have sources. I know what this
is really all about. But we'll see what John sources
have to say first and then see see if our
sources match. Mister Solomon, you've had quite a week, and
(00:45):
we're going to do a little summary of the week.
You've had a great investigative week.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I know how hard you work. We've worked for years together.
There's nobody that digs in deeper, There's nobody that has
deeper contacts than you, and I congratulate you on your
hard work. And in many ways it's a culmination of
all the work and all the reporting that you did
for the years that we did Russia, Russia Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine,
Ukraine and everything in between. I mean, so, I'm very
(01:13):
proud of you, proud to be your friend, and thank
you for all your hard work. And you've been proven right.
We've been proven right on this show, and we never
get credit. I don't think I'm getting a pull up surprise,
although you definitely deserve one.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, I don't want to pull it surprise.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I just love doing this and I love telling the truth.
And you, you and I have been able to do
so many amazing things together. And you know, this morning
we wake up to another sign of what law and
order may look like in the Trump era, which is
something that comes from a court, not from a political playbook.
In Hillary Clinton's basement or Barack Obama's basement, a court
(01:47):
gave the FBI permission and ordered it to search the
home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, he's a critic of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
He's a critic of Cashpertelli tried to I think a
post Cashptel's nomination for FBI director. But the end day
they go to a court, they raise some concerns about
classified information releases and maybe perhaps misuse of the classified information.
They get a chance to review his home, get the
evidence out of the home, and then see where it leads.
(02:14):
This is an investigation they got stymied under Joe Biden.
Today it is back in motion, and.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
It shows it.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
No matter how powerful you are, no matter how many
friends you have in Washington, how much distinguished work he did,
he was a un the back.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
By the way, are there such things as friends in Washington? Seriously,
because if you want a friend in DC, you should
get a dog. I offered to get the President Trump
a dogg He laughed at me.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Dog's a much better choice. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
But you know he obviously he's been in the establishment
a long time for administrations he's served in. But at
the end of the day, the law appears to be
blind on this. And we'll see how they treat him,
what they learned from the raid, what they get in
the search worm, and then see if there is anything
that comes of it.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
But that happened today, and I.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Think there's a you know they things are returning to normal.
It's like common settling over the city. This is the
way the Justice Department used to work before it got hijacked.
At the end of the Obama administration. Courts approved things,
things happen. There's not a lot of politics involved. There
isn't a lot of you know, political fanfare being stirred up.
Parah went and did his job. They're not going to
(03:19):
talk about it, and they go on. And I think
that's the way the court system used to run before
it got weaponized and politicized by the Democrats and their
friends and government. So that's what happened today, and I
think it's a reminder that maybe under Donald Trump, things
are getting back to normal now.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Now, I've had sources tell me that this is more
directly involved to intelligence that he had access to and
that it might have to do with foreign adversaries.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Have you heard anything similar, Well.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
There's always that concern.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's why there's a national security component to classified information.
You want to make sure that somebody either neither intentionally
or unwittingly provided information that could give comfort or aid
or a strategic advantage to a foreign enemy. I think
we ought to even see let's see what comes of
this information, Let's see what weight comes of the thing
(04:11):
with John Bolton had a lot of clients. You know,
he's a foreign policy advisory as a business. One of
the places they searched this morning was his business office.
But I think one of the just like the justice system,
is getting back to being normal. I think the way
we in the media should treat things, which is, let's
give everybody the benefit do Let's see what the search
warrant returns. The next thing we'll learn is somewhere in
(04:33):
the next few weeks the FBI will report to the
court here's the search warrant returns, and here is the
affidavit of why we search.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
The court.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
When we get that information, we'll have a little bit
better sense of the skille.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
But I do think.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Anytime you're talking about a classified information league, the first
concern is did this intentionally or unintentionally given assistance to
one of our enemies, one of our foreign powers. And
I think that is at the root of this case
as well.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Let me give you a little background on my relationship
with John Bolton, because there was a time we got
along and I did have respect for him, and it
was during very early on and when Donald Trump won
the election in twenty sixteen, I remember where I was
when he called me. We had a very long and
at times a little bit heated conversation and he was
(05:20):
asking me if I would, you know, put in a
good word with him with a president. I'm like, well,
that's not what I do. I said, I've known President
Trump for thirty years. I know he's looking for good people.
But I said, John, I've known you a long time.
Your foreign policy does not match up, is not in
sync with Donald Trump's.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And it really, for me, was that simple.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And he assured me over and over and over again,
Oh no, no'm I've evolved that I'm I'm I want
to serve the president's foreign policy.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It seemed like very early on he had a very
different agenda. He did not live up to the promise
that he was making me when he was begging me
to speak out on his behalf.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, listen, there's a moment, and there's a gentleman that
worked for John Bolton for a long time, very well
respected former ci unless. He became the chief of Staff
of the National Security Council and Trump won Fred Flights
and Fred Flights wrote a really powerful article on Fox
News around the time that John Bolton put his book out.
In the book is the first time that we had
(06:23):
some questions about whether he had improperly really classified information
or was going to really improperly classified information. And Fred
Flights wrote a really thoughtful article which is listened. John
Bolton's had a lot of these fingers things and has
curried made a lot of friends.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
He worked at the un served multiple presidents. But this
book is not a book to.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Help the American people understand national policy or foreign policy.
It's a vengeance book, a revenge book, and that is
beneath John Bolton. He really encouraged John Bolton not to
publish the book, which wasn't you know, for John Bolton,
probably a shock. This guy had always worked with him
and they had a great relationship. But something happened at
the end of the first Trump administration with John Bolton.
(07:05):
Obviously he didn't see how to die when the president
the president fired him. The President's foreign policy has proven
to be very successful. Is many European leaders just admitted
Monday in the White House.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
But I think John Bolton.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Went in a different direction, and for the first time,
a guy who seemed to be very buttoned up and
really just about the policy and just about humbly serving
the president became a guy who thought he could challenge
a president and at the end of the day, I
think he bet wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I think the American people.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Made a better bet than he did.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And the question now is in that drive and.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
That effort to become suddenly an opposition to a president
he had served, did he do something that compromised national security?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And we'll see what the FBI finds.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You know what's fascinating about it is, you know there
was a time he did not evolve with the advancement
of military technology. I mean, look at, for example, the
impact drones are having in the conflict in the Middle
East and the conflict in Europe. I've been arguing for
some time the next general or weaponry will enable wars
to be fought in air conditioned offices, not on a
(08:05):
battlefield like like had been done historically. And there just
seem to be people that want to cling to this
old version of warfare, and Donald Trump's not one of them.
He's talking about a golden dome that would keep this
country safe. It may if he's successful at building it,
I mean he might that might end up being his
greatest legacy. The media made fun of strategic defense of
(08:25):
Ronald Reagan when he proposed it.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
They called it star wars Wars.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They mocked it, and they generated all this animation on
TV and you know, now it plays out in real
time in the Middle East, in Israel, and it's saving lives,
you know, almost on a daily basis. So I don't
think he really grew. I don't think Liz Cheney or
the Cheneys grew, and they just they've come they just
have this hatred of Trump. But with that said, I
(08:50):
agree with you. You know, people are innocent until proven guilty.
Let's see if my sources turn out to be right.
I hear it has to do with national security secrets.
He wrote the book, didn't get permission. All right, Now,
let's move on to your one of the other big
stories of the week, and you've had a lot of them,
that's James call me.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Thanks. Yeah, listen, this is important.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
When these doctors were released a couple of weeks ago,
we got a couple of good scoops out of them.
One of them was the Adam Shiff story that Adam
Shiff's own stafford went to the FBI and said he
authorized the leak of classified information. I think that's illegal, unethical,
in treasonous. That's the exact words that the Democrat staffer
told the FBI, but of course Adam Schiff got a pass.
There was a large block of these documents that had
(09:31):
a big black markop and they were redacted. They were
kept from seeds. I believe they contained information that was
not classified nor was it covered by grand jury secrecy.
And so I appealed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and
her team, and she agreed, and she, alongside of Caspitil,
they unredacted that information yesterday they sent it back to Congress.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I got a copy of it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And what you see in that is that Comy's own
chief lawyer is chief counsel when he was FBI director
told the FBI that he James Comy, James Baker, the
lawyer and the witness who's admitting to this, and the
chief of staff for James Combe, James Orbickey, all at
the FBI, the top three guys in the FBI worked
together to illegally the league classified information to the New
(10:17):
York Times the first time in October twenty sixteen, right
on the eve of the election, where Donald Trump and
Hillary Clinton were neck and neck, and then there were
some concerns that that happened again afterwards. That is a
rear moment when an insider in the inner circle of
a person a leaker admits that this happened and a
prayer that it got kept from us.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
The first time that.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Cash Pttel got the documentary American public, the Justice Department
had made that redaction. They admit it was a mistake.
They unredacted him. We now know that the United States
government had very strong evidence to believe that James Comy
had authorized the leak of classified information information that would
harm national security because it was released and the once again,
(11:01):
just like the Hillary Clinton Foundation investigators, just like the
IRS agents who tried to go after Hunter Biden for
the tax crimes, just like the agents who wanted to
go after Hillary Clinton's we classified email server issues, they FBI,
the Justice Department shut down this investigation and said, you're
not going to inde you on We're decided not to
(11:23):
indict anyone. In fact, there's a moment where they have
a chance to get some emails that would be corroborating
and really understand just how far the leaking may have
been and just who was involved in it. And then
the usis I was saying, no, you don't need to
go get We're not going to go get those, So
once again an example of the dual system of justice,
the lack of curiosity that seemed to occur whenever someone
(11:43):
who was a Democrat or a friend of the Democrat
and government was accused of wrongtoing, they got protected and
very different in the way than dot Donald Trump got
treated and his followers got treated in that same system.
This is a story that's going to be now. People say,
is it's just a history lesson town, Why should I care?
The answer is there is a ten year statute covering
(12:03):
this potential type of disclosure of national intelligence information. And
Pam Bondy was very clear in my story saying that
people who were entrusted. First off, she said that James Comy,
based on what's in these documents, clearly engaged in abhorrent
conduct along with his top leaders. But what he added,
I think this is a warning sign to Comy. If
(12:24):
I'm Comy's lawyers, I'm a little more nervous today.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Quote this is directly from Pambondy.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
There must be accountability for those who were entrusted with
safeguarding our nation's secrets and failed to do so. And
I think that's a sign that with these grand juries
coming up, the Grand Conspiracy case, the strike force that's
been that James Comy may be looked at and this
evidence may still be relevant to criminal charges going forward.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Right quick break, right back more with John Solomon, editor
and chief, founder and chief investigative reporter justinnews dot com
on the other side. Also coming up later on the program,
our friend Mark Halperm will join us and we continue
with John Solomon. He is the founder, editor in chief,
chief investigative reporter of justinews dot com. It's amazing that
(13:08):
all of the reporting that if we go all the
way back when Donald Trump came down the escalator, they've
been out to get this guy. And I would argue,
we have you know, the Grand conspiracy starts before the
twenty sixteen election. After the twenty sixteen election, the pre
bunking of the very real Hunter laptop, knowing that Bob Costello,
(13:28):
then Rudy's attorney would leak it and then law Fair
from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four to bloody Donald
Trump up and render him incapable of running and even
hopefully putting him in jail. I think a very compelling
case is coming up, and for the first time, I
really believe people will be held accountable.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'll give you the last thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I think that's true.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Listen, the evidence is coming out that we didn't know
about it stronger than we thought. The actions are worse.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Than we thought.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
And I think that you have in Pam Bondi, in
Cash Bettel, a dual headed team, a great team with
great instincts, in great commitment to getting truth and accountability,
and we haven't had that in.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Prior FBIS and Justice Department.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
They could go down in history as one of the
most consequential duels to head the DJ and FBI at
the same time.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Let's see if they deliver that record.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But I think for those who want accountability, there's a
growth and optimism from just a few short weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I will tell you that that could be the dynamic duo.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Your piece points out how working together that you know
justice is going to be served and a lot of
accountability is coming. And I don't want to overpromise and underdeliver.
We've been disappointed too many times, but really a terrific
you know, news breaking week for you. Thank you for
sharing it with this audience. We appreciate you as always,
and I hope people will care about this as much
(14:48):
as I do, because if we allow people to impact
our elections and put cinder blocks on the scales of
an election, we don't have a country. John Solomon, editor
in chief, founder and chief investigative re order justinnews dot com.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Thank you, sir. Have a great weekend as well.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Sean, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You know, we talk a lot about law and order
and safety and security. We've talked a lot about, you know,
thanks to Biden, Harris may Orcus and all these democrats
and a complicit media lying now we have known terrorists
and murderers and rapists and cartel members and gang members
in the country, on top of Americans that are murderers
(15:25):
and rapists and drug dealers and violent criminals and gang members,
et cetera. I mean, I wish that evil didn't exist.
Evil does exist. Deliver us, you know, lead us, not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Actually wrote a
whole book about it, called Deliverers from Evil. And there
are people that would you know, wouldn't think twice about
(15:46):
killing you and killing your family, and killing you and
killing your employees, and so the President, to his credit,
is out there, went on patrol yesterday and is feeding
the the agents, the National Guard troops that have been
out there on patrol. And lo and behold, we've had
a successful week in the nation's capital. Now, before President
(16:09):
Trump got involved, Washington, d C. Is the number one
capital city in terms of homicides forty one per one
hundred thousand people. The next highest homicide rate is sixteen.
I mean, that's how bad it's gotten in Washington, d C.
And on top of that, what did we learn. We
learned that officers are now speaking out. Whistleblowers are speaking out,
(16:31):
the police union is speaking out, and they're saying, yeah,
those numbers are inaccurate because they have been purposely cooking
the books and lying to the country and lying to
the people in DC. Washington, d C. Averaged three point
six murders a week in twenty twenty four, compared to
zero murders since Donald Trump deployed the National Guard. The
(16:52):
message has gone out. Pam Bondi is updating the arrest statistics.
They've got over six hundred and fifty six arrests at
this point, including by the way, eighty six illegal guns.
They're making incredible progress. Here's the President. He was out
on patrol yesterday. He was handing out pizza and burgers
and thanking people, the guards and law enforcement for doing
(17:16):
the great job they're doing to keep the people in
DC safe and secure.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
We've had some.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Incredible results and results have come out, and it's like
a different place.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It's like a different city. It's the capital. It's going
to be the best in the world. We're going to
do what you're doing with law enforcement, and very.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Importantly also, we're going to physically do it. We're going
back to Congress for some money and we're going to
redo a lot of the pavement, a lot of the medians,
a lot of the Graffiti's all coming off real fast.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It's going to come down real fast.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
And we're going to be not so much building, it's
cleaning and fixing and redoing and putting brand new surfaces
down on your roads and streets.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And when people come in from.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
The airport all the way to the Capitol, of.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
The White House or any place they going, they're.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Going to say, wall, this place is spotless.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
You do the job on safety, and I'll get this
place fixed up physically.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And we're going to be so proud of it at
the end of six months.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
But let's say at the end of a year, this
place will be maxed out in terms of beauty.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I talk all the time on this program that I
have a personal safety security strategy for every situation that
I know that I'm going to find myself in. When
I go out at my home, when I'm at work,
you have to. I've had too many threats over the
course of my career, and I won't talk about them often,
but I've had plenty of them, and you know, it
(18:38):
was especially tough when you have young kids and you're
getting real threats, including a fatwah on my head. That
was not a pleasant time in my life. But I
am urging everybody you must have a personal safety security
plan for you and your family. There are bad, evil
people in this world. I wish they didn't exist. And
(18:59):
I said this when I deliver us from evil, is
that it's very hard for good people to wrap their
minds around the concept that evil does exist and evil
doesn't think twice. You know an evil human being, How
evil do you have to be to harm a child,
to rape a child? Those pedophiles exist.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
That is evil.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
The lowest scum of the earth, or people that wouldn't
blink and take your life or take the life of
your your spouse or your children. They don't care. So
you know we have you know, there is the lethal option,
and I carry a pistol. I've been a believer in
the Second Amendment my entire life. I usually carry the
(19:40):
six hour P three sixty five in case you're interested.
But I also have my burner cl which is a
non lethal option. And I've been urging all of you
their advertisers on this program, but that's not why I'm
having them on today. This is not an infomercial. This
is about how to protect yourself, your family if that
God forbid moment ever comes. And you see this in
(20:02):
small towns and big cities all across the country, this
idiocy of defund dismantled no bail laws. Look at this,
you know, look at the recent criminal that got out
and killed somebody had been in jail, you know, for
less than twenty four hours before, and four separate arrests.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
How many more.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
People are going to have to die? And what are
you going to do if the God forbid moment comes
in your life? I care too much about all of
you in this audience. The life I live, which is
my dream that has come true, is only because of
all of you. And if I don't share with you,
you know my passionate belief that everybody needs a security
(20:40):
and safety strategy, regardless of who you are, where you live,
what your age is, what your sex is, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if you're trained in situational self defense
as I am, because you may not have that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I just urge everyone. I think one way.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
And there are people that are afraid of a firearm,
for example, but I don't think you'll be afraid of
the non lethal option. It's legal in all fifty states.
You don't need a permit, you don't need a background check.
It fires very powerful projectiles and that's tear gas, pepper spray,
kinetic rounds, and you can incapacitate any perpetrator. You can
(21:19):
hit a target forty to fifty sixty feet away with
incredible accuracy. I know because I practiced with my burner,
and I can shoot that more than I can my pistol.
Because of the hearing loss I've had with all these
years that have been on radio.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Anyway, we have.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Josh Schirard is with us. He is director of Law
Enforcement for Berner and Brian Gann, CEO of Berner and anyway,
they both join us today. You know now that the
nation's kind of dialed in and focusing their attention on
safety and security.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I can't tell you how many advertisers and Linda can
back me up on this.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
People.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'll give you an example. Gambling companies. They want betting
betting sites. They have offered US millions and millions and
millions of dollars to be advertised on the program. I
did it one early point when they first started, But
I had no idea become such a nationwide epidemic in
terms of gambling addiction, and I don't really want to
be a part of it. The only advertisers I take
(22:20):
and that I will give my endorsement to are products
that I truly believe in. And your product, Brian, when
we first met, I knew right away that this had
the potential to really become big. Now you've become bigger
than ever. Five hundred plus government agencies support this technology.
They're using your products, police departments, private security firms. You know,
(22:42):
I would just urge everybody please look at their videos,
educate yourself with them, decide for yourself if this technology
is good for you anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Good to have you back, and same with you, Josh.
Great to have you back.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Well, it's great to be on the show with you. Sean,
thank you very much. You know, I remember the first
time I came down to your house and we're out
in the backyard and we're shooting, and I said, look,
you know, I've been a gun owner my whole life,
but you know, I don't know how quick i'd be
to pull the trigger, and you know, and then I
worry if I hesitate, is that a fatal hesitation for me?
(23:14):
And I said, what do you think? Do I represent
five percent or ten percent of gun owners? And I'll
never forget this, Sean, you said to me, he says, Brian.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
I'm a gun owner.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Two been a gun owner my whole life, he said,
He said, But ninety percent of gun owners live in
mortal fear of having to pull the trigger and take
a life because the consequences of doing that, particularly in
the society we live in today, are overwhelming. I mean legally,
financially and with the burner we give people the opportunity
(23:43):
to stop at a sail and without the risk of
taking a life or causing permanent injury. And you know,
it's been very important to me, and I know it's
been very important to you.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I quick break more with Josherard and Brian Ganz on
the other side from Berner Byurna dot Com. By the way,
the final hour of the Sean Hannity shows up next.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Hang on for Sean's conservative.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Solutions as evil is real and the reality is people
have to defend themselves. And Josh, you know, maybe for
people that are reluctant to go with a firearm and
lethal force at the very least, I think you need
a burner in your household. I have numerous burners that
are strategically located all throughout my house. To be very honest,
(24:30):
I'm not giving away my personal security strategy. I'm telling
you stay away from my house. It's not going to
end well for you.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Absolutely, I'm you know, I've been a cop for over
twenty years and carried a gun for that long as well.
But I also I am a stats guy. I'm data driven,
and I want to know. Not only do I want
to prepare for the worst case scenario. I want to
be able to be prepared for what's most likely to happen.
And when we look at stats, historically, the chance of
you having to use deadly force in the course of
(24:55):
your life is astronomically low. We're talking in twenty twenty three,
four hundred and seven, there were four hundred seventy one
justifiable homicides in the United States. So four hundred and
seventy one people had to utilize a gun to defend
themselves and kill another individual. That's one in seven hundred
thousand chants of you having to do that. Now, when
we look at the victimization of just violent crime in general,
(25:18):
of a lesser degree, your chances of being a victim
of some sort of violent crime are about one in
two hundred and sixty one in two hundred and sixty
So your chance of having to use some sort of
self defense that's less than lethal self defense is so
much greater. Why wouldn't you have some sort of plan,
Why wouldn't you have some sort of tool, some sort
(25:39):
of device to be able to make sure that you
can defend yourself among so many different circumstances, Because you
are not going to be taking someone's life. The chance
of you having to pull the trigger and kill someone
in someone's life just is so so very low.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
This is really just so applicable to.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
So many situations and so many different people.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
But you know, Sean, it's interesting. I was on a
podcast the other day with John Locke, and I don't
know how many of your audience know him, but he's
the guy that wrote the book More Guns, Less Crime,
And in his study he came up with a statistic
that if you use a gun to stop a crime,
(26:20):
ninety five percent of the time, you don't need to
pull the trigger. Why because most of these criminals are cowards.
If they see that you're prepared to fight back in
whatever way, they're going to turn and they're going to find,
you know, an easier mark, an easier victim. So when
you're carrying the burner, which as you know, looks very
(26:40):
very much like a real firearm, we see this.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Even well, no, well, it does look like a firearm.
If you get the color I get, which is black,
which looks like a firearm. Linda has pink, orange, and yellow,
it looks like a toy.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Well, you know, there are some people that wanted to
look like a firearm, and there's some people that wanted
to look less lethal. But if you pull out this
launcher and you pointed at somebody, the vast majority of
people are going to turn on their heel and turn away.
And you know, there's something interesting with what's going on
in DC. I mean, you pointed out a very very
(27:17):
important statistic. This is the murder capital of the world.
As soon as the president put troops on every corner,
federalize the police, there's been no murders. Why because people
see that there's cops out there and they're afraid. If
you're prepared to stand up, if you're prepared to defend yourself,
(27:37):
you couldn't get people to back off. And I think
that you know, for most people, you are your first
you are your own first responder. I mean, what is
it normally the police seven minutes to get to you.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
That's that's it.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
The quickest response team. Whatever is going to happen will
have happened the quickest response team. Listen. I urge people
to please take a look at your product. You're an advertiser,
not because of any other reason. Is I am a
passionate believer in your technology. Just go to their website,
look at the videos, decide for yourself. I think every
(28:11):
one of you hearing my voice now should have one
by RNA dot com. It is effective. Five hundred government
agencies have adopted this technology for a reason. Police departments
are adopting it for a reason.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It works.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Brian appreciate you. Josh appreciate you as well. Thank you both.
