Sean Hannity is joined by investigative journalist John Solomon to examine newly declassified intelligence documents involving China, election security, voter registration data, and the media's coverage of President Trump's election address. The conversation explores intelligence community reports, alleged efforts to suppress information, election integrity reforms, media bias, and why the SAVE Act remains a major political issue ahead of the 2026 elections. Hannity also discusses Democratic polling challenges, Canadian wildfire smoke affecting the U.S., and listener reactions from across the country.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Interesting fallout developments, you know, when it comes to the
President's speech, and we kind of touched on this earlier,
the massive declassification that the President made available to the
American people so that you can actually read things and
make up your own mind in terms of their authenticity.
(00:22):
The scariest part, the biggest takeaway from me, was the
idea that these documents indicate. And you know, it's up
to you to believe what you want to believe. That
I believe that people we report you decide. The idea
that the communist Chinese got access to two hundred and
twenty American and voter roles, and that would be names
(00:43):
and addresses and phone numbers and affiliation and party should
put a chill down everybody's spine, or that X number
of the illegals are registered to vote in our country.
And the President, you know, with his crescendo at the
end of his speech, making a pitch for you know,
why would anybody be against the Save Act, which simply
(01:05):
requires that proof of citizenship and voter ID integrity measures.
You know, in light of the fact that Democrats and
Republicans over the years have both both parties have complained
about election integrity issues. You know, I wanted to go
a little further. I would prefer voter IDs, signature verification,
chain of custody controls, updated voter roles, partisan observers, and
(01:27):
every precinct watching the voting all day, watching the vote
counting all night. I'd like eyes on any mail in
ballots from the minute they are delivered to any precinct.
Put in a room with a camera, people can watch
twenty four to seven, just simple integrity measures. Why is
that important? Because then we will have confidence in the
(01:48):
result of our elections, and the American people will have
believe in the integrity of the process. In terms of
early voting. I'm not the biggest advocate of it. Is
you never know what might happen the weekend before an election.
Case in point two thousand, George W. Bush revealed that
he had had a dui that can change the outcome
(02:11):
of an election. I think it made that election much
tighter than it otherwise would have been. But you know,
I'm in a minority apparently. But the question is why
don't Democrats want any integrity measures? I mean, that's that's
the main point. Now, the media coverage of this is
predictably you know, one of utter silence most of the
(02:31):
media networks, even though it's a primetime presidential address, it's
it's usually kind of mandated, mandatory and standard operating procedure
that they cover it. And you know what they what
they definitely had an opportunity to do, especially when the
President said he's declassifying all these documents, is they have
an opportunity to go to a deep dive and analyze
(02:55):
these these intelligence documents that have been declassified and then
make our own minds up or better yet, present the
information as it is in the government documents and let
people viewers, readers decide for themselves. You know, case in point,
David Ignatius, Washington Post, you know, claiming the declassified documents
(03:18):
were butt almost everything President Trump said about the US
election and interference, et cetera. And here's what he had
to say. But I did read.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
These documents, and it's extraordinary, Joe that if you look
over them carefully, they were butt almost everything that the
President said. The key part of his case was the
Chinese tried to defeat me, intentionally went out to defeat
me in the twenty twenty election, which obviously he still
can't get over. He can't believe that he lost, so
(03:48):
it must have been the Chinese. And you look at
the intelligence assessments that were produced, which he's thank you
very much supplied, and you see that the consensus judgment
of the intelligence community was precisely the opposite. That the
Chinese did not just decide to intervene to defeat Trump.
They thought about it, but they decided against it. There
(04:08):
were a few analysts who disagreed and thought the Chinese
had done more, although not everything they could have. They
were given separate space to make the argument. It was
kind of a classic snapshot of how I integ's community
actually works. If this is a deep state man, it
moves at this at the speed of a snail.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
John Solomon, editor in chief, founder justinews dot com, chief
investigative reporter, you know, called him an ignoramis and suggested
a name change for this Washington Post columnist whose better
days have come and have gone. John Solomon is with us. Now,
why do you call him an ignor Ramis? Well he is.
(04:51):
Let's start there. Number one. Number two. It's frustrating. I mean,
all the president did was open up and declassified documents
that had been with held from the American people for
a long period of time, and you would think that
that might might cause some curiosity or interest if they
want to get to the truth about information that was purposely,
(05:12):
obviously with held from the American people. And then of
course they can make up their own minds. On the
other side of.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It, they could, They could, except that the people like
David Ignacius, who I used to work with at the
Washington Post, would like to make up minds for people.
They don't trust the American people to make up their
own minds, so they spend a lot of time calling
facts that disagree with their assertions to be disinformation or
to try to debunk things that are factually true. And
(05:40):
so let's remind people about David Ignacius. Eight days after
the FBI had concluded in January of twenty seventeen that
Mike Flynn, the incoming national security advisor of President Trump,
was innocent of any wrongdoing in the Russia collision case,
including his contacts with the Russian ambassador. Eight days after
the FBI cleared him in public it, David Ignatius put
(06:01):
out a column with an intercept suggesting the very conversation
with the Russian ambassador was somehow criminal. He got Mike
Flynn fired when the FBI believed that Mike Flynn had
done nothing wrong. That's David Ignacious. Now let's go ahead
to twenty twenty. I remember this very well. Senate Intel
puts out a report on Russia collusion, and David Ignacious
goes on a tour saying this proves there was Russia collusion.
(06:24):
Donald Trump has no reason to say that it was
a hoax. Now you all think about the stuff that
you did on your show, where that Greg did, all
of our friends did, there is very little doubt that
it was a hoax. And then a couple of years later,
just like we learned about the Mike Flynn being cleared
(06:44):
after David De Natio's right Mogus column, we learned that
another very important thing has happened in that is that
John Durham has his report released, by the way, by
the Biden Justice Department.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Very important. The Biden Justice Department releases a report saying.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
There wasn't an iota of evidence to justify crossfire Hurricane.
We all remember that David Ignatius was wrong on both
of those propagand accounts. Now, let's fast forward to the
one he wrote, or that the effort he did on
television this morning. He kept saying, I read all the documents,
and they show that Donald Trump basically gave a false speech.
What he read, he selectively read, were the twenty twenty
(07:21):
assessments that said China didn't meddle in the election. That
was the point of President Trump's speech. They wrote these
things in twenty twenty and ignored the new evidence, which
is that China had obtained two hundred and twenty million vocals.
That was the point of the president'speech, which is, of
course there were twenty twenty assessments. What I'm telling you
tonight is you didn't know this. The community didn't put
(07:41):
this into their assessments. And if you add that into it,
I'll tell you what it meets. The definition that the
US intelligence community uses for election interference, I pointed out
and the thing I wrote on Twitter a little while ago,
or on Next a little while ago, that the US
Intelligence Committee's formal definition of foreign power election interference and
(08:02):
election includes the targeting of voter registration data. If a
foreign power targets voter registration data, it is considered an
interference in the election. That was the point the president
was making. David Ignacious conveniently cut all that out. He
could have read the emails that said, we're massaging the
PDB to keep this from the president.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
He didn't.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
He could have read the emails that said or the
text messages that said, we've created a shadow government to
keep this from the American people. He didn't. He could
have read the email that said it boggles the minds
as a senior CIA officer, it boggles the mind that
we didn't tell the president in the American public about
this Chinese election interference. Or he could have read the
one after Donald Trump left office when an intelligence softwareer writes, oh,
(08:46):
now we're going to call it interference after Donald Trump's out.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
But last year you didn't want to do it. What
the heck?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Everybody knew there was a cover up, and David Ignacious
comments on Morning Joe this Morning, we're part of that coverup.
It was a deception operation, Morning Joe this Morning. He
dishonestly evaluated the documents and left out the part that
the President made the point that makes those documents relevant today.
Shame on him, But it's an age old act that
he's done three or four times, once to an innocent
(09:13):
man named Mike Flinton.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, I think maybe the thing that stood out
to me when we talk about the president's speech is
he he never made a conclusion about what they discovered.
It seemed to me that he was laying out the
factual case these things had occurred. They purposely prevented the
American people from knowing about it, prevented him from knowing
(09:37):
about it. And he, if I remember the term correctly,
he talked about vulnerabilities to our election system without saying
at any point definitively that it had happened, and which
basically is directly from the document might Did I hear
(09:58):
that right?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yes? He was very everything. By the way, here's another thing.
I briefed numerous reporters before the speech.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I let them see the documents five hours in advance,
four four hours of advance. They excuse me, they had
four hours to go through this. They knew every one
of them was told and said they could quote me
as the chairman of the White House the transparency task
for us, that every word of the speech had been
signed off on by the CIA, by the NSA, by
(10:25):
the ODE, and I the director of National Intelligence in
the FBI. So you think one person, anyone would have
pointed out it's a very important thing. That what the
President was saying, the Intelligence Committee agreed with. Try to
find that in the mainstream media. You cannot because that's
what censorship looks like. That's what disinformation looks like, and
that's what you know, a propaganda campaign looks like.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Keep out the facts that don't fit your story.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Don't give the American don't let the American public make
up their own mind by giving them all the facts.
Just give them the one I want, the ones I
want to manipulate your mind. And that's what David Ignatius
did on MSN NBC. That's what many of the news
anchors did on Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday.
I watched people on Saturday, Friday and Saturday on news
(11:10):
saying everybody can buy these files, it's not a big deal. Now,
I want to point out that China didn't just buy them.
They then hacked them. There was a CNE unit or
a CNE individual who exploits data. That's a turn that
the community uses for a data exploator. They were exploiting
them in twenty twenty, the Intelligence Committee said Ussia hacked
(11:30):
a little bit of voter files. Media went crazy, Okay,
Russia did it. It was a big problem, even though the
files are commercially.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It was a big problem only because they could pin
it on Trump. Just like right, you know, there are
you know, any number of people shot shot and killed
every weekend in blue cities and states around the country.
But if they can't weaponize it, politicize it and blame Trump,
you don't ever hear about the names of the people
that lost their lives on that given weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
You're so right, it is so The suppression of information
to make false arguments to the American people is so
obvious now. It was obvious all the way through all
the work you did, Sewan on your show when we
were unraveling Russia collusion with a little gang of folks
that we worked with. What is going on in America
right now is these networks and these news media reporters
(12:17):
suppress information and hope that they can change an American's
mind instead of giving them neutral information to make up
their own minds. It's really amazing. In twenty four President
Biden announced that China had gained access to forty million
of Great Britain's voter file. So China gets Great Britain.
Everybody was outraged when Joe Biden got Great Britain sing.
(12:38):
In fact, they created months of recrimination in Great Britain.
Great Britain has moved to paper ballots because of some
of the concerns they learned during that scandal. Two years later,
by the way, Joe Biden didn't tell us America was hacked.
Then two years later, Donald Trump reports that it's happened
to us here in America, and the media say it's fake.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Don't believe it. It's not true. He's undercut by his
own documents.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
They're lying to the American people, and shame on them.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Why do you think the media just outright refused to
carry a primetime presidential address, which is I can't think
of a time that's happened before. Maybe you can. I'm
not saying it hasn't happened.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Once, I remember once in the twenty twelve twenty thirteen timeframe,
they turned one down for back Obama for being fair.
But in this case, the networks were given an opportunity
to look at the documents. They were given an opportunity
to call the CIA and the NSA and the Odie
and I, which has all career people, and say is
this true.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
They did it. They looked at the.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Documents and said, you know, we're just going to dispel this.
They put their thumb on the scale of American thinking
and American's ability to process information, just like they did
when they went with a letter with a fifty one
intelligence agents who claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop was this information.
Remember what I did during that timeframe when that letter
(13:55):
came out. I came on your show, Sean and told
you the FBI's had this laptop since twenty nineteen, and
they corroborated it in late twenty nineteen early twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
No other reporter would just go ask the FBI that.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Back in twenty sixteen and seventeen, when they're saying Donald
Trump's a spy for Russiam, I called the FBI.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'm like, hey, is this true?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
And you know what the FBI told me something almost
identical to Peterstruck's text messages to his old lover. Not
no big there there. I don't think there's a big
there that. That's what they told me in October of
twenty sixteen March or twenty seventeen. Then I began unraveling
it with you and Sarah. All reporters had to do
and all of those circumstances just call people and find
(14:34):
out if it's true. But they can't. They have Trump
arrangement syndrome. And if Trump says a sky sonny, and
you look up and see the sky, sonny, they're going.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
To say, they don't have to believe it. But why
don't they just look at it and then decide and
let their viewers their listeners decide.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
They the American people to make up their own mind.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
All right, Editor and chief founder and chief investigative reporter
Justinnews dot com, John Solomon, I listen, irates people read
it for your so White House dot.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Gov, elections, polls, campaigns, the latest news on your candidate.
We've got you covered this election year, knocking in.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Right here on the Sean Hannity Show. You're on the
(15:52):
Sean Hannity Show, a place where free speech and the
First Amendment are still alive and well. Get your dose
of independence and liberty every weekday right here with Sean.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Let me play some of the lunacy now, as we
head closer and closer to the midterm, as we've been
pointing out for a big part of the day today,
and it just gets worse and worse and worse and
worse and worse because the Democrats have lost their mind.
There's no other way to put it. Let's go to
Harry Enton, Fake News CNN warning signs for Democrats in
(16:31):
these upcoming midterms because a lot of the people on
TV pollsters, they never get Donald Trump pulling him, pulling
conservatives accurate. And this guy seems to have tapped into
the idea that things are not as rosy and optimistic
for Democrats as as they would have you believe. Listen.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
So the numbers show what Harry, They show a big
worry sign at least compared to history. Because I want
to take it back through the history machine. I want
to know, Okay, House National July, CNBC, Washington Postpol average
midterm years, this is the generic ballot, right, where were
we back in two thousand and six, when, of course
Democrats are going back on to win the House? They
(17:15):
were up by twelve and an average of those two posts.
How about twenty eighteen, they were up by an average
of ten in those two posts.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Look at where that average is now well.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Less than half of either the level of twenty eighteen
and twenty six.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Way down there.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Yes they're ahead, but the head I have to shrink
down on the screen. They're head by only four points,
which is significantly less than what we saw in twenty
eighteen and two thousand and six when Democrats took back
the house. So as I said, this is an uh oh,
this is a warning sign. Well, yes, Democrats are head,
not by anywhere near the margin they were in prior
wave years, because four isn't ten, no, and it's not twelve.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
No.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
No.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
They taught me that back in pre k that four
is not ten or twelve now.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But if you're listening to the crazies on these podcasts,
I mean, they're going to give you a very different story,
you know. Case in point is Don Lemon, formerly of CNN,
thinking of running for president. Linda, by the way, is
supporting his candidacy, which I found very interesting. I did
not know she would be supporting Don Lemon. I'm having
(18:16):
an on air stroke.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
And this is the time you want to tell us
because this has to be It wasn't before when you
on television it's right now.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well, I just figured it'd be more impactful right now
and might piss you off on a Monday and get
your week start right. Maga is the closest thing to
America's version of the Nazi Party. I'm so you know,
I've said this my whole career that Nazi analogies are
just overused. This would be a case in point.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Listen, you think that once Donald Trump has gone, it's
the end of MAGA. I don't know if it's the
end of that sort of attitude. I mean, the Maga
is the closest thing to the modern version of the
Nazi Party. This is America's version. It's the closest thing
without the Holocaust and all that stuff. That sort of mindset.
That's what Maggie is. Because most intelligent people are logical people.
(19:04):
When they get new information, and if that information is
negative or not factual, then they change their minds. They go, oh, well,
I wish I had known better, and now that I
have this information, then I can readjust No matter what
you no matter how many facts and how much information
you give him, you give them about this presidency, about
(19:25):
the policies, they don't change their minds, because they're really
not voting for the price of eggs. They're voting for
white supremacy. They're voting for power. They're voting to have
a pre eminent voice.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now, I don't recall Don Lemon, or any Democrat for
that matter, not one, you know, complaining about the guy
that had a Nazi tattoo for nearly two twenty years.
I don't remember one of them. One last thing before
we get to our phones. Look, I've talked to a
lot of my friends in the northeast East, and I've
(20:01):
talked to a lot of my friends in the Midwest,
and I've talked to a lot of my friends that
are on the border with Canada. The air quality has
been absolute, Adam Schiff, and it's been terrible, the equivalent
in some cases measured so toxic it's like smoking a
pack of cigarettes a day just by walking outside. Many
people now are being told to stay inside. And you know,
(20:25):
this is now not the first year it happened, but
it's two years in a row. And Canada is angry
that Donald Trump is calling them out, saying they should
pay us for poisoning our air because the result of
wildfires which by the way are predictable. You know, the
one thing you learn about the California wildfires in the
Pacific Palisades is they never practiced the science. And again
(20:49):
they lectured us about the science of COVID when they
knew nothing. But there is a science. You can get
a legitimate, real college degree in the science of forestry.
You can get that and you can manage, you know,
wildfires better if you remove the kindling, the brush, the
(21:09):
dead trees, that would you know, instantaneously begin to burn
and make it more out of control. In southern California,
for example, wildfires are predictable events. Coupled with Santa Ana winds,
those are predictable events. That's why not having water and
fire hydrants and an empty reservoir was so disgusting on
(21:32):
the part of Mayor bass And and you know, basically
never show Governor Gavenussom and they just made excuses. And
here we are eighteen months later and people can't even
get a building permit for their own property. And anyway,
now we're suffering because of Canada buying into the same
climate alarmism. Let's play it.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I did, yeah, I echo though that one could, but
I told them I.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Mean you got to stop these fires from coming in
and you know, poisoning our air.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Our air has been poisoned.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Have a good relationship with Mark Carney, but you know,
we got to stop.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
The fires up there.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
If we can help them, we'll help them.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
If but maybe they should fay us some damages or something,
or should do some tariffs.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
But it was terrible. I mean, yet.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Business is closing in particular Michigan.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
If you look at the Detroit.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The Detroit, Michigan are that it closed everything. Then it
closed car plants and a lot of other things.
Speaker 10 (22:28):
So I've never remembered this happening. Over the last four
or five years, you saw it starting to take place.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I've never remembered it happened.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I mean, all of this stuff is preventable. It is
shocking to me how many people, you know, buy into
this garbage. You know, it's this has been Europe's problem
now for a long, long period of time. But it's
it's I guess now to be expected. Sad. All right,
let's get to our busy phones. David allab Obama, David,
(23:00):
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Sir? I am well, Shawn, thank you.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Flir it In by birth Alabama in by the grace
of God, I'd like to add, we have a country.
We have got to stop aiding the Democratic Party and
their quest to destroy our nation as is prosper for
two undred fifty years. By the use of the term
Democratic socialists. It's a marketing point. I mean, that's lipstick
(23:24):
on a pig. It is ugly. I mean, ugly goes
to the bone. You know, we can get beauteous, indeed,
but ugly goes all the way to the bone, to
the bone. And we've got to stop that. I mean
because we're you know, we're making it sound like, oh
what a great thing, you know, and the only people
that prosper in that are the aocs and the Mundamis
and the Bernie Sanders, the people at the top. They
(23:45):
get wealth here while everybody else as Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'm sorry, I don't mean the rant.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
But no, I actually like the rant. I like your passion.
I think you're right.
Speaker 10 (23:55):
Well, I mean, but we've got to stop it. I mean,
people just don't. I mean, that's always do what we
get to new trust and these kids that are just
going along with is blindly, who aren't proud of our
nation I don't get it. I just you know, you
do an outstanding job. But I mean some of the
other folks at Fox.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Talk to them.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
They need to quit using that term. You know it's wrong.
There's nothing democrat about socialism.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well, it really is communism. Whatever isism there is, it's
been tried every which way and it has one thing
in common. It never works. It's what's government doing so
well that you want to put more confidence than these people.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I tell people to embrace freedom, to embrace the gifts
that God gave you, the greatest country God gave man,
and get to work and find your talent that God
gave you and find a way to make money at
something you love to do. That's my advice to people. David,
appreciate you, man, quick break right back. More your calls
(24:54):
coming up toll free. It is eight hundred and ninety
four one, Sean. If you want to be a part
of the program, I'll look Born on America's Darkest Day
nine to eleven oh one. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
They have been helping Americans heroes ever since. Heroes like
United States Chief Cryptologic Technician Shannon Kent now Shannon service
(25:14):
was inspired by the nine to eleven attacks. A decorated
warrior mother, she served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan
and anyway her command. When it was established, she joined
it and tragically, sadly lost her life in a suicide
bomb attack in Syria. Now this is the twenty fifth
(25:34):
anniversary year of nine to eleven. I can't believe it's
twenty five years. Her sacrifice does remind all of us
of the cost and the lasting impact of that day.
Nine to eleven related ildness is very real. She left
behind her husband, their two kids, and because of your generosity,
the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was able to pay off
the Kent's family mortgage. That gave her family the security
(25:58):
of knowing that their home is the forever. Now we
can help plenty of more families like the Kents. Whatever
donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Maybe a car,
maybe land, maybe one big donation. Or you can forego
two Starbucks a month and donate eleven bucks a month.
And I urge you to please go to their website
(26:19):
help out this great core cause. It's the letter T,
the number two, the letter T dot org, the letter
T number two letter t dot org for the Tunnel
to Towers Foundation.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
The Final Hour roundup is next.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned
for the final hour free for all on the Sean
Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I back to our busy phones this Monday, eight hundred
and nine four one. Sean is our number if you
want to be a part of the program. Jim Houston, Texas,
Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Hey Sean, how you doing today.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I'm good man. By the way, I know you've got
a big storm headed your way. I hope you're batting
him down the hatches.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Well, we're always ready for that. As soon as hurricane
season hits, we go out and get all the batteries
and generators and all the stuff we need to be
ready for the hurricane season.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, if everybody knows you're going to get them, especially
in the Houston area, I'm not sure why everybody doesn't
already have the generator or the batteries on hand. That's
just my thought. Well, but I'm a psycho, you know,
mini prepper.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
What do I know?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Yeah? Well, the main reason I called was I'm mad
about ABC, NBCCBS not carrying the President's address that's something
that's been historic since television came to be, and the
fact that they would not carry the president's address that
(28:20):
should disqualify them as a news organization. You can't pick
and choose what you what you you say if you're
if you're truly a news broadcasting company, even if you
hate the news, you have a responsibility to at least
(28:40):
errant and let the public decide if.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I were to president. You're a thousand percent right, But
I have a very selfish part of me that is
not angry about it. I'm going to tell you why,
because they chose not to and I ran the entire
speech so the American people could decide for themselves. Guess
who got really really high ratings on Thursday night.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Oh, I'll bet it was Sean Hannity.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It was Sean Hannity, And I get credit for all
that time the President Trump spoke and then the rest
of the show. So I was not that upset in
that sense. But what you're saying is one hundred percent
right now. NBC didn't run it, ABC didn't run it.
Fake News, CNN didn't run it. MS DNC actually ran
a little of it, which I never would have expected.
(29:29):
But they didn't run the whole thing. Uh, CBS ran it.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Remember they're in the midst of this, you know, attempted
acquisition of Time Warner, which would include which would include
fake news CNN, and they they're being challenged left, right,
and sideways. They have this anchor. Well, how do you
pronounce these guys? I don't even know who this guy is. Yeah,
it's a weird last name. Boss. It's Tony de Cooople. Okay,
(29:55):
Tony decouple, here's here's Tony Dakouple introduced seeing President Trump's
speech that night.
Speaker 11 (30:01):
We are coming on the air tonight because in a
few moments President Trump will be giving a speech. It's
a speech expected to address safety and security of American elections,
a topic, of course, that the President has talked a
lot about for years now, at times almost constantly, and honestly,
much of what the President has said on this topic
has been false, most notably, of course, the claim that
(30:22):
he won the twenty twenty election, when of course he
did not. Because of this, there is an argument that
it's irresponsible to air the president's speech tonight. But this
speech will be made, it will be news, and it's
our job to cover the news, and so we are,
my CBS News colleagues, and I are reporting tonight along
(30:42):
with you to make sense of it as you will,
and we will do it together. What it means for
the country, What is true and what is not?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
That was their introduction. What's your reaction to that.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Well, I'm glad to hear that somebody at least had
the guts to stand up and offer the people an
opportunity to hear what the president had to say. But
I still don't think it was right.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
There after they basically said that even though he's going
to release you know, intelligence reports and documents and declassified
documents that prove what he's saying to be true, that
he rushed to judgment in the beginning.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Yes, it's obvious. It's obvious that everyone everyone involved is
trying to cover up their complicity in what the call
of the shadow government of the deep State has done
to not give Donald Trump credit for anything is and
just try to put him in jail.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Well, that's why we keep bringing John Solomon on, because
he's done a deep dive into the documents released, and
you know, and at the end of the day, the
president is giving every American opportunity to see the declassified
information themselves and make up their own minds. I don't
tell people how to think. I don't tell people what
conclusions to make. But if they're real government documents and
(32:03):
they already classified, I think you have a right to
know and then you make your own conclusion. How's that?
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Well that sounds good, Sean?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
All right, man, I appreciate it all the best. Godspeed
to our friends in Houston. Looks like a lot of
bad weather heading your way everyone. I hope everyone's prepping now.
Interesting fallout developments, you know, when it comes to the
President's speech, and we kind of touched on this earlier,
the massive declassification that the President made available to the
American people so that you can actually read things and
make up your own mind in terms of their authenticity.
(00:22):
The scariest part, the biggest takeaway from me, was the
idea that these documents indicate. And you know, it's up
to you to believe what you want to believe. That
I believe that people we report you decide. The idea
that the communist Chinese got access to two hundred and
twenty American and voter roles, and that would be names
(00:43):
and addresses and phone numbers and affiliation and party should
put a chill down everybody's spine, or that X number
of the illegals are registered to vote in our country.
And the President, you know, with his crescendo at the
end of his speech, making a pitch for you know,
why would anybody be against the Save Act, which simply
(01:05):
requires that proof of citizenship and voter ID integrity measures.
You know, in light of the fact that Democrats and
Republicans over the years have both both parties have complained
about election integrity issues. You know, I wanted to go
a little further. I would prefer voter IDs, signature verification,
chain of custody controls, updated voter roles, partisan observers, and
(01:27):
every precinct watching the voting all day, watching the vote
counting all night. I'd like eyes on any mail in
ballots from the minute they are delivered to any precinct.
Put in a room with a camera, people can watch
twenty four to seven, just simple integrity measures. Why is
that important? Because then we will have confidence in the
(01:48):
result of our elections, and the American people will have
believe in the integrity of the process. In terms of
early voting. I'm not the biggest advocate of it. Is
you never know what might happen the weekend before an election.
Case in point two thousand, George W. Bush revealed that
he had had a dui that can change the outcome
(02:11):
of an election. I think it made that election much
tighter than it otherwise would have been. But you know,
I'm in a minority apparently. But the question is why
don't Democrats want any integrity measures? I mean, that's that's
the main point. Now, the media coverage of this is
predictably you know, one of utter silence most of the
(02:31):
media networks, even though it's a primetime presidential address, it's
it's usually kind of mandated, mandatory and standard operating procedure
that they cover it. And you know what they what
they definitely had an opportunity to do, especially when the
President said he's declassifying all these documents, is they have
an opportunity to go to a deep dive and analyze
(02:55):
these these intelligence documents that have been declassified and then
make our own minds up or better yet, present the
information as it is in the government documents and let
people viewers, readers decide for themselves. You know, case in point,
David Ignatius, Washington Post, you know, claiming the declassified documents
(03:18):
were butt almost everything President Trump said about the US
election and interference, et cetera. And here's what he had
to say. But I did read.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
These documents, and it's extraordinary, Joe that if you look
over them carefully, they were butt almost everything that the
President said. The key part of his case was the
Chinese tried to defeat me, intentionally went out to defeat
me in the twenty twenty election, which obviously he still
can't get over. He can't believe that he lost, so
(03:48):
it must have been the Chinese. And you look at
the intelligence assessments that were produced, which he's thank you
very much supplied, and you see that the consensus judgment
of the intelligence community was precisely the opposite. That the
Chinese did not just decide to intervene to defeat Trump.
They thought about it, but they decided against it. There
(04:08):
were a few analysts who disagreed and thought the Chinese
had done more, although not everything they could have. They
were given separate space to make the argument. It was
kind of a classic snapshot of how I integ's community
actually works. If this is a deep state man, it
moves at this at the speed of a snail.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
John Solomon, editor in chief, founder justinews dot com, chief
investigative reporter, you know, called him an ignoramis and suggested
a name change for this Washington Post columnist whose better
days have come and have gone. John Solomon is with us. Now,
why do you call him an ignor Ramis? Well he is.
(04:51):
Let's start there. Number one. Number two. It's frustrating. I mean,
all the president did was open up and declassified documents
that had been with held from the American people for
a long period of time, and you would think that
that might might cause some curiosity or interest if they
want to get to the truth about information that was purposely,
(05:12):
obviously with held from the American people. And then of
course they can make up their own minds. On the
other side of.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It, they could, They could, except that the people like
David Ignacius, who I used to work with at the
Washington Post, would like to make up minds for people.
They don't trust the American people to make up their
own minds, so they spend a lot of time calling
facts that disagree with their assertions to be disinformation or
to try to debunk things that are factually true. And
(05:40):
so let's remind people about David Ignacius. Eight days after
the FBI had concluded in January of twenty seventeen that
Mike Flynn, the incoming national security advisor of President Trump,
was innocent of any wrongdoing in the Russia collision case,
including his contacts with the Russian ambassador. Eight days after
the FBI cleared him in public it, David Ignatius put
(06:01):
out a column with an intercept suggesting the very conversation
with the Russian ambassador was somehow criminal. He got Mike
Flynn fired when the FBI believed that Mike Flynn had
done nothing wrong. That's David Ignacious. Now let's go ahead
to twenty twenty. I remember this very well. Senate Intel
puts out a report on Russia collusion, and David Ignacious
goes on a tour saying this proves there was Russia collusion.
(06:24):
Donald Trump has no reason to say that it was
a hoax. Now you all think about the stuff that
you did on your show, where that Greg did, all
of our friends did, there is very little doubt that
it was a hoax. And then a couple of years later,
just like we learned about the Mike Flynn being cleared
(06:44):
after David De Natio's right Mogus column, we learned that
another very important thing has happened in that is that
John Durham has his report released, by the way, by
the Biden Justice Department.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Very important. The Biden Justice Department releases a report saying.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
There wasn't an iota of evidence to justify crossfire Hurricane.
We all remember that David Ignatius was wrong on both
of those propagand accounts. Now, let's fast forward to the
one he wrote, or that the effort he did on
television this morning. He kept saying, I read all the documents,
and they show that Donald Trump basically gave a false speech.
What he read, he selectively read, were the twenty twenty
(07:21):
assessments that said China didn't meddle in the election. That
was the point of President Trump's speech. They wrote these
things in twenty twenty and ignored the new evidence, which
is that China had obtained two hundred and twenty million vocals.
That was the point of the president'speech, which is, of
course there were twenty twenty assessments. What I'm telling you
tonight is you didn't know this. The community didn't put
(07:41):
this into their assessments. And if you add that into it,
I'll tell you what it meets. The definition that the
US intelligence community uses for election interference, I pointed out
and the thing I wrote on Twitter a little while ago,
or on Next a little while ago, that the US
Intelligence Committee's formal definition of foreign power election interference and
(08:02):
election includes the targeting of voter registration data. If a
foreign power targets voter registration data, it is considered an
interference in the election. That was the point the president
was making. David Ignacious conveniently cut all that out. He
could have read the emails that said, we're massaging the
PDB to keep this from the president.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
He didn't.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
He could have read the emails that said or the
text messages that said, we've created a shadow government to
keep this from the American people. He didn't. He could
have read the email that said it boggles the minds
as a senior CIA officer, it boggles the mind that
we didn't tell the president in the American public about
this Chinese election interference. Or he could have read the
one after Donald Trump left office when an intelligence softwareer writes, oh,
(08:46):
now we're going to call it interference after Donald Trump's out.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
But last year you didn't want to do it. What
the heck?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Everybody knew there was a cover up, and David Ignacious
comments on Morning Joe this Morning, we're part of that coverup.
It was a deception operation, Morning Joe this Morning. He
dishonestly evaluated the documents and left out the part that
the President made the point that makes those documents relevant today.
Shame on him, But it's an age old act that
he's done three or four times, once to an innocent
(09:13):
man named Mike Flinton.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, I think maybe the thing that stood out
to me when we talk about the president's speech is
he he never made a conclusion about what they discovered.
It seemed to me that he was laying out the
factual case these things had occurred. They purposely prevented the
American people from knowing about it, prevented him from knowing
(09:37):
about it. And he, if I remember the term correctly,
he talked about vulnerabilities to our election system without saying
at any point definitively that it had happened, and which
basically is directly from the document might Did I hear
(09:58):
that right?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yes? He was very everything. By the way, here's another thing.
I briefed numerous reporters before the speech.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I let them see the documents five hours in advance,
four four hours of advance. They excuse me, they had
four hours to go through this. They knew every one
of them was told and said they could quote me
as the chairman of the White House the transparency task
for us, that every word of the speech had been
signed off on by the CIA, by the NSA, by
(10:25):
the ODE, and I the director of National Intelligence in
the FBI. So you think one person, anyone would have
pointed out it's a very important thing. That what the
President was saying, the Intelligence Committee agreed with. Try to
find that in the mainstream media. You cannot because that's
what censorship looks like. That's what disinformation looks like, and
that's what you know, a propaganda campaign looks like.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Keep out the facts that don't fit your story.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Don't give the American don't let the American public make
up their own mind by giving them all the facts.
Just give them the one I want, the ones I
want to manipulate your mind. And that's what David Ignatius
did on MSN NBC. That's what many of the news
anchors did on Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday.
I watched people on Saturday, Friday and Saturday on news
(11:10):
saying everybody can buy these files, it's not a big deal. Now,
I want to point out that China didn't just buy them.
They then hacked them. There was a CNE unit or
a CNE individual who exploits data. That's a turn that
the community uses for a data exploator. They were exploiting
them in twenty twenty, the Intelligence Committee said Ussia hacked
(11:30):
a little bit of voter files. Media went crazy, Okay,
Russia did it. It was a big problem, even though the
files are commercially.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It was a big problem only because they could pin
it on Trump. Just like right, you know, there are
you know, any number of people shot shot and killed
every weekend in blue cities and states around the country.
But if they can't weaponize it, politicize it and blame Trump,
you don't ever hear about the names of the people
that lost their lives on that given weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
You're so right, it is so The suppression of information
to make false arguments to the American people is so
obvious now. It was obvious all the way through all
the work you did, Sewan on your show when we
were unraveling Russia collusion with a little gang of folks
that we worked with. What is going on in America
right now is these networks and these news media reporters
(12:17):
suppress information and hope that they can change an American's
mind instead of giving them neutral information to make up
their own minds. It's really amazing. In twenty four President
Biden announced that China had gained access to forty million
of Great Britain's voter file. So China gets Great Britain.
Everybody was outraged when Joe Biden got Great Britain sing.
(12:38):
In fact, they created months of recrimination in Great Britain.
Great Britain has moved to paper ballots because of some
of the concerns they learned during that scandal. Two years later,
by the way, Joe Biden didn't tell us America was hacked.
Then two years later, Donald Trump reports that it's happened
to us here in America, and the media say it's fake.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Don't believe it. It's not true. He's undercut by his
own documents.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
They're lying to the American people, and shame on them.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Why do you think the media just outright refused to
carry a primetime presidential address, which is I can't think
of a time that's happened before. Maybe you can. I'm
not saying it hasn't happened.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Once, I remember once in the twenty twelve twenty thirteen timeframe,
they turned one down for back Obama for being fair.
But in this case, the networks were given an opportunity
to look at the documents. They were given an opportunity
to call the CIA and the NSA and the Odie
and I, which has all career people, and say is
this true.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
They did it. They looked at the.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Documents and said, you know, we're just going to dispel this.
They put their thumb on the scale of American thinking
and American's ability to process information, just like they did
when they went with a letter with a fifty one
intelligence agents who claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop was this information.
Remember what I did during that timeframe when that letter
(13:55):
came out. I came on your show, Sean and told
you the FBI's had this laptop since twenty nineteen, and
they corroborated it in late twenty nineteen early twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
No other reporter would just go ask the FBI that.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Back in twenty sixteen and seventeen, when they're saying Donald
Trump's a spy for Russiam, I called the FBI.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'm like, hey, is this true?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
And you know what the FBI told me something almost
identical to Peterstruck's text messages to his old lover. Not
no big there there. I don't think there's a big
there that. That's what they told me in October of
twenty sixteen March or twenty seventeen. Then I began unraveling
it with you and Sarah. All reporters had to do
and all of those circumstances just call people and find
(14:34):
out if it's true. But they can't. They have Trump
arrangement syndrome. And if Trump says a sky sonny, and
you look up and see the sky, sonny, they're going.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
To say, they don't have to believe it. But why
don't they just look at it and then decide and
let their viewers their listeners decide.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
They the American people to make up their own mind.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
All right, Editor and chief founder and chief investigative reporter
Justinnews dot com, John Solomon, I listen, irates people read
it for your so White House dot.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Gov, elections, polls, campaigns, the latest news on your candidate.
We've got you covered this election year, knocking in.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Right here on the Sean Hannity Show. You're on the
(15:52):
Sean Hannity Show, a place where free speech and the
First Amendment are still alive and well. Get your dose
of independence and liberty every weekday right here with Sean.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Let me play some of the lunacy now, as we
head closer and closer to the midterm, as we've been
pointing out for a big part of the day today,
and it just gets worse and worse and worse and
worse and worse because the Democrats have lost their mind.
There's no other way to put it. Let's go to
Harry Enton, Fake News CNN warning signs for Democrats in
(16:31):
these upcoming midterms because a lot of the people on
TV pollsters, they never get Donald Trump pulling him, pulling
conservatives accurate. And this guy seems to have tapped into
the idea that things are not as rosy and optimistic
for Democrats as as they would have you believe. Listen.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
So the numbers show what Harry, They show a big
worry sign at least compared to history. Because I want
to take it back through the history machine. I want
to know, Okay, House National July, CNBC, Washington Postpol average
midterm years, this is the generic ballot, right, where were
we back in two thousand and six, when, of course
Democrats are going back on to win the House? They
(17:15):
were up by twelve and an average of those two posts.
How about twenty eighteen, they were up by an average
of ten in those two posts.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Look at where that average is now well.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Less than half of either the level of twenty eighteen
and twenty six.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Way down there.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Yes they're ahead, but the head I have to shrink
down on the screen. They're head by only four points,
which is significantly less than what we saw in twenty
eighteen and two thousand and six when Democrats took back
the house. So as I said, this is an uh oh,
this is a warning sign. Well, yes, Democrats are head,
not by anywhere near the margin they were in prior
wave years, because four isn't ten, no, and it's not twelve.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
No.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
No.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
They taught me that back in pre k that four
is not ten or twelve now.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
But if you're listening to the crazies on these podcasts,
I mean, they're going to give you a very different story,
you know. Case in point is Don Lemon, formerly of CNN,
thinking of running for president. Linda, by the way, is
supporting his candidacy, which I found very interesting. I did
not know she would be supporting Don Lemon. I'm having
(18:16):
an on air stroke.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
And this is the time you want to tell us
because this has to be It wasn't before when you
on television it's right now.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well, I just figured it'd be more impactful right now
and might piss you off on a Monday and get
your week start right. Maga is the closest thing to
America's version of the Nazi Party. I'm so you know,
I've said this my whole career that Nazi analogies are
just overused. This would be a case in point.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Listen, you think that once Donald Trump has gone, it's
the end of MAGA. I don't know if it's the
end of that sort of attitude. I mean, the Maga
is the closest thing to the modern version of the
Nazi Party. This is America's version. It's the closest thing
without the Holocaust and all that stuff. That sort of mindset.
That's what Maggie is. Because most intelligent people are logical people.
(19:04):
When they get new information, and if that information is
negative or not factual, then they change their minds. They go, oh, well,
I wish I had known better, and now that I
have this information, then I can readjust No matter what
you no matter how many facts and how much information
you give him, you give them about this presidency, about
(19:25):
the policies, they don't change their minds, because they're really
not voting for the price of eggs. They're voting for
white supremacy. They're voting for power. They're voting to have
a pre eminent voice.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now, I don't recall Don Lemon, or any Democrat for
that matter, not one, you know, complaining about the guy
that had a Nazi tattoo for nearly two twenty years.
I don't remember one of them. One last thing before
we get to our phones. Look, I've talked to a
lot of my friends in the northeast East, and I've
(20:01):
talked to a lot of my friends in the Midwest,
and I've talked to a lot of my friends that
are on the border with Canada. The air quality has
been absolute, Adam Schiff, and it's been terrible, the equivalent
in some cases measured so toxic it's like smoking a
pack of cigarettes a day just by walking outside. Many
people now are being told to stay inside. And you know,
(20:25):
this is now not the first year it happened, but
it's two years in a row. And Canada is angry
that Donald Trump is calling them out, saying they should
pay us for poisoning our air because the result of
wildfires which by the way are predictable. You know, the
one thing you learn about the California wildfires in the
Pacific Palisades is they never practiced the science. And again
(20:49):
they lectured us about the science of COVID when they
knew nothing. But there is a science. You can get
a legitimate, real college degree in the science of forestry.
You can get that and you can manage, you know,
wildfires better if you remove the kindling, the brush, the
(21:09):
dead trees, that would you know, instantaneously begin to burn
and make it more out of control. In southern California,
for example, wildfires are predictable events. Coupled with Santa Ana winds,
those are predictable events. That's why not having water and
fire hydrants and an empty reservoir was so disgusting on
(21:32):
the part of Mayor bass And and you know, basically
never show Governor Gavenussom and they just made excuses. And
here we are eighteen months later and people can't even
get a building permit for their own property. And anyway,
now we're suffering because of Canada buying into the same
climate alarmism. Let's play it.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I did, yeah, I echo though that one could, but
I told them I.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Mean you got to stop these fires from coming in
and you know, poisoning our air.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Our air has been poisoned.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Have a good relationship with Mark Carney, but you know,
we got to stop.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
The fires up there.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
If we can help them, we'll help them.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
If but maybe they should fay us some damages or something,
or should do some tariffs.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
But it was terrible. I mean, yet.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Business is closing in particular Michigan.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
If you look at the Detroit.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
The Detroit, Michigan are that it closed everything. Then it
closed car plants and a lot of other things.
Speaker 10 (22:28):
So I've never remembered this happening. Over the last four
or five years, you saw it starting to take place.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I've never remembered it happened.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I mean, all of this stuff is preventable. It is
shocking to me how many people, you know, buy into
this garbage. You know, it's this has been Europe's problem
now for a long, long period of time. But it's
it's I guess now to be expected. Sad. All right,
let's get to our busy phones. David allab Obama, David,
(23:00):
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Sir? I am well, Shawn, thank you.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Flir it In by birth Alabama in by the grace
of God, I'd like to add, we have a country.
We have got to stop aiding the Democratic Party and
their quest to destroy our nation as is prosper for
two undred fifty years. By the use of the term
Democratic socialists. It's a marketing point. I mean, that's lipstick
(23:24):
on a pig. It is ugly. I mean, ugly goes
to the bone. You know, we can get beauteous, indeed,
but ugly goes all the way to the bone, to
the bone. And we've got to stop that. I mean
because we're you know, we're making it sound like, oh
what a great thing, you know, and the only people
that prosper in that are the aocs and the Mundamis
and the Bernie Sanders, the people at the top. They
(23:45):
get wealth here while everybody else as Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'm sorry, I don't mean the rant.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
But no, I actually like the rant. I like your passion.
I think you're right.
Speaker 10 (23:55):
Well, I mean, but we've got to stop it. I mean,
people just don't. I mean, that's always do what we
get to new trust and these kids that are just
going along with is blindly, who aren't proud of our
nation I don't get it. I just you know, you
do an outstanding job. But I mean some of the
other folks at Fox.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Talk to them.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
They need to quit using that term. You know it's wrong.
There's nothing democrat about socialism.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well, it really is communism. Whatever isism there is, it's
been tried every which way and it has one thing
in common. It never works. It's what's government doing so
well that you want to put more confidence than these people.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I tell people to embrace freedom, to embrace the gifts
that God gave you, the greatest country God gave man,
and get to work and find your talent that God
gave you and find a way to make money at
something you love to do. That's my advice to people. David,
appreciate you, man, quick break right back. More your calls
(24:54):
coming up toll free. It is eight hundred and ninety
four one, Sean. If you want to be a part
of the program, I'll look Born on America's Darkest Day
nine to eleven oh one. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
They have been helping Americans heroes ever since. Heroes like
United States Chief Cryptologic Technician Shannon Kent now Shannon service
(25:14):
was inspired by the nine to eleven attacks. A decorated
warrior mother, she served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan
and anyway her command. When it was established, she joined
it and tragically, sadly lost her life in a suicide
bomb attack in Syria. Now this is the twenty fifth
(25:34):
anniversary year of nine to eleven. I can't believe it's
twenty five years. Her sacrifice does remind all of us
of the cost and the lasting impact of that day.
Nine to eleven related ildness is very real. She left
behind her husband, their two kids, and because of your generosity,
the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was able to pay off
the Kent's family mortgage. That gave her family the security
(25:58):
of knowing that their home is the forever. Now we
can help plenty of more families like the Kents. Whatever
donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Maybe a car,
maybe land, maybe one big donation. Or you can forego
two Starbucks a month and donate eleven bucks a month.
And I urge you to please go to their website
(26:19):
help out this great core cause. It's the letter T,
the number two, the letter T dot org, the letter
T number two letter t dot org for the Tunnel
to Towers Foundation.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
The Final Hour roundup is next.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned
for the final hour free for all on the Sean
Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I back to our busy phones this Monday, eight hundred
and nine four one. Sean is our number if you
want to be a part of the program. Jim Houston, Texas,
Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Hey Sean, how you doing today.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I'm good man. By the way, I know you've got
a big storm headed your way. I hope you're batting
him down the hatches.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Well, we're always ready for that. As soon as hurricane
season hits, we go out and get all the batteries
and generators and all the stuff we need to be
ready for the hurricane season.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, if everybody knows you're going to get them, especially
in the Houston area, I'm not sure why everybody doesn't
already have the generator or the batteries on hand. That's
just my thought. Well, but I'm a psycho, you know,
mini prepper.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
What do I know?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
Yeah? Well, the main reason I called was I'm mad
about ABC, NBCCBS not carrying the President's address that's something
that's been historic since television came to be, and the
fact that they would not carry the president's address that
(28:20):
should disqualify them as a news organization. You can't pick
and choose what you what you you say if you're
if you're truly a news broadcasting company, even if you
hate the news, you have a responsibility to at least
(28:40):
errant and let the public decide if.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I were to president. You're a thousand percent right, But
I have a very selfish part of me that is
not angry about it. I'm going to tell you why,
because they chose not to and I ran the entire
speech so the American people could decide for themselves. Guess
who got really really high ratings on Thursday night.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
Oh, I'll bet it was Sean Hannity.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It was Sean Hannity, And I get credit for all
that time the President Trump spoke and then the rest
of the show. So I was not that upset in
that sense. But what you're saying is one hundred percent
right now. NBC didn't run it, ABC didn't run it.
Fake News, CNN didn't run it. MS DNC actually ran
a little of it, which I never would have expected.
(29:29):
But they didn't run the whole thing. Uh, CBS ran it.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Remember they're in the midst of this, you know, attempted
acquisition of Time Warner, which would include which would include
fake news CNN, and they they're being challenged left, right,
and sideways. They have this anchor. Well, how do you
pronounce these guys? I don't even know who this guy is. Yeah,
it's a weird last name. Boss. It's Tony de Cooople. Okay,
(29:55):
Tony decouple, here's here's Tony Dakouple introduced seeing President Trump's
speech that night.
Speaker 11 (30:01):
We are coming on the air tonight because in a
few moments President Trump will be giving a speech. It's
a speech expected to address safety and security of American elections,
a topic, of course, that the President has talked a
lot about for years now, at times almost constantly, and honestly,
much of what the President has said on this topic
has been false, most notably, of course, the claim that
(30:22):
he won the twenty twenty election, when of course he
did not. Because of this, there is an argument that
it's irresponsible to air the president's speech tonight. But this
speech will be made, it will be news, and it's
our job to cover the news, and so we are,
my CBS News colleagues, and I are reporting tonight along
(30:42):
with you to make sense of it as you will,
and we will do it together. What it means for
the country, What is true and what is not?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
That was their introduction. What's your reaction to that.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Well, I'm glad to hear that somebody at least had
the guts to stand up and offer the people an
opportunity to hear what the president had to say. But
I still don't think it was right.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
There after they basically said that even though he's going
to release you know, intelligence reports and documents and declassified
documents that prove what he's saying to be true, that
he rushed to judgment in the beginning.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Yes, it's obvious. It's obvious that everyone everyone involved is
trying to cover up their complicity in what the call
of the shadow government of the deep State has done
to not give Donald Trump credit for anything is and
just try to put him in jail.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Well, that's why we keep bringing John Solomon on, because
he's done a deep dive into the documents released, and
you know, and at the end of the day, the
president is giving every American opportunity to see the declassified
information themselves and make up their own minds. I don't
tell people how to think. I don't tell people what
conclusions to make. But if they're real government documents and
(32:03):
they already classified, I think you have a right to
know and then you make your own conclusion. How's that?
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Well that sounds good, Sean?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
All right, man, I appreciate it all the best. Godspeed
to our friends in Houston. Looks like a lot of
bad weather heading your way everyone. I hope everyone's prepping now.
