Happy Friday, and we do start with some happy news.
And I'm not even talking about the great economic news
that is out there today. We'll get to that. Uh.
Remember we talked at length about Christian Saucier. This guy
has a wife and kid, and and as he took
(01:22):
six pictures inside a submarine and was put in jail,
he he was was he was it a full and
complete parton he just got Linda? Or was it he
got a full pardon and is being let out? Apparently?
I guess as we speak he was released before. But
now the part of his record. Oh that's great, alright, good, alright,
I didn't keep up with it. That's great. Uh. Something
(01:44):
we have advocated for again and again. I can't tell
you how many times how many people I mentioned this too.
Can you please look into this? Can you please look
into this? Can you please look into this? And the
same with Clinton Laurance. I don't want that. We gotta
get Clint Lawrance out of jail. Worked tirelessly on both
of those cases. I'm not listen, I'm not gonna tell
anybody what I did. But I'm just I am just
(02:05):
happy that this young man, and you know, think about
this and compare it to Hillary Clinton. He had six pictures.
He wasn't supposed to be taking pictures inside the submarine.
He's proud of the work that he did inside the submarine.
Didn't send the pictures to anybody, he wasn't accused of
sending the pictures to anybody. Unfortunately, he lost his phone,
(02:25):
and then when he lost his phone, they found the phone.
In the phone, they saw the pictures of inside the submarine,
and instead of what he should have gotten, which is
a little slap on the wrist, maybe a slight demotion, um,
they turned it into a big ordeal and they end
up putting this guy in jail for an entire year.
It's unbelievable that we treat our servicemen and women this way.
(02:45):
Kind of like Michael Flynn, General Flint. You know, now
General Flynn has to sell his house just to pay
for his lawyers because he was talking to his counterpart
and may not have remembered every aspect of the conversation,
and quote lied to the FBI. General Flynn lied to
the FBI. I bet he took a plea deal because
they said, well, we're gonna put your son in jail.
That's my guess. That's where my my mind is running.
(03:07):
I don't know for a fact yet, but I'm working.
I'm finding out if I'm right on that. But the
bottom line is, why would you put a guy took
six pictures of his submarine? And we just learned last week,
Uh that Peter Struck, he's one of the ones that,
along with James Comey, writing an exoneration of Hillary Clinton
before the investigation, he knew the Russians had hacked into
(03:28):
that email server that she had set up in the
Mom and pop shop bathroom closet that was hacked by
five five separate foreign intelligence agencies. Struck new specifically that
the Russians had hacked into it. Okay, the Russians probably
had the same information as Julian Osans, doesn't mean that
they gave it to Julian Assange. Assan swears they didn't
(03:51):
you could, but Hillary left it so wide open anybody
could have gotten it. That's the point. And if you
mishandled classified top secrets special access programing, that's a crime,
that's a felony eighteen USC. Seven ninety two. I go
through all the different felony statutes that she violated. But
then the fix was in. The fix wasn't in for
(04:12):
Christian Saucier, he went to jail, But the fix was
in for Hillary because Comey and Strock and McCabe and
and Lisa Page and probably lareto Lynch two meeting on
the tarmac with Bill. They all wanted her to be
the candidate. They weren't gonna let her get charged like
Christian Saucier. You see, Now, this is a real life
example when I talk about equal justice under the law,
(04:37):
because Christian Saucier had one set of legal standards applied
to him, and Hillary has an entirely different set of
standards applied to her. And the poor guy spent, however,
many months in jail for nothing. He wasn't a threat
to our national security. What Clinton did is far worse.
And she covered it up, deleted it, acid washed it,
(04:58):
bleach bidet and and banged it up with hammers to
make sure nobody could get access to it. But apparently
people had already had access to it because she put
it in an unsecure location. And she did that because
she wanted to avoid congressional oversight. It's unbelievable how people
are before we get into the president and this huge
This is a big deal with North Korea and Kim
(05:21):
John Gill, that's a huge deal. But before we do that,
I want to go back and meet the press. Interview.
This is nineteen ninety nine. This is a full sixteen
years before Donald Trump even announces that he's gonna run
for president. Listen to Donald Trump talking about North Korea.
(05:41):
I wouldn't negotiate like crazy, and I'd make sure that
we tried to get the best deal possible. Look to him,
if a man walks up to you in the street
in Washington, because this doesn't happen, of course in New York.
But if a man walks up and puts a gun
to your head and says giving your money, wouldn't you
rather know where he's coming from before he had the
gun in his hand. And these people in three of
four years are going to be having nuclear weapons they're
(06:02):
gonna have those weapons pointed all over the world and
specifically at the United States, And wouldn't you be better
off solving this really potentially unbelievable and the biggest problem.
I mean, we can talk about the economy, and we
can talk about social security, the biggest problem this world
has is nuclear proliferation. And we have a country out
there in North Korea which is sort of wacko, which
is not dumb, not a bunch of dummies, and they
(06:24):
are going out and they are developing nuclear weapons and
they're not doing it because they're having fun doing it.
They're doing it for a reason. And wouldn't it be
good to sit down and really negotiate something and ideally
negotiation now. If that negotiation doesn't work, you better solve
the problem now, then solve it later. Tim and you
know it. And every politician knows it, and nobody wants
to talk about it. Jimmy Carter, who I really like,
(06:46):
and he went over there. It was so soft. These
people are laughing at us. The former General of the
Air Force, Meryl mcpeque, the former Secretary Defense Less Aspen
said you could not launch a preemptive strike against North
Korea because the new clear fallout could be devastating to
the Asian Peninsula. I'm not talking about I'm not talking
about us using nuclear weapons. I'm saying that they have
(07:07):
areas where they're developing missiles taking out there. You know
that this country they followed. You know that this country
went out and gave them nuclear reactors free fuel. For
ten years. We we virtually tried to bribe them into stopping,
and they're continuing to do what they're doing, and they're
laughing at us. They think we're a bunch of dummies.
I'm saying that we have to do something to stop.
(07:27):
But if the voluntary told you, Mr Trump, we can't
give me two names, you're giving me two names. I
don't know you want to do it in five years
when they have warheads all over the place, every one
of them pointing to New York City to Washington, and
every one of our is that when you want to
do it, or do you want to do something now,
you better do it now. And if they think you're serious,
I deal with lots of people. If they think you're serious,
they will negotiate and it will never come to that.
(07:49):
If they think you're serious. Now, the media went absolutely
apoplectic and insane over Little rocket Man, which was the
one of the funniest things the President Trump has ever said.
And Little Rocket Man was, you know, huffing and puffing
and firing his missiles over Japan. And while he did that,
while the President ratcheted up the strongest sanctions that the
(08:12):
North Korean regime ever faced. And while he did it,
he was moving uh nuclear submarines into the area. And
while he was doing it, he was fortifying his relationships
with China and Japan and and other nations that would
be in the geopolitical arena there that would be impacted
by all of this, And eventually it started to take
(08:34):
its toll on everything that was happening. One of the
most underreported stories is the relationship that Donald Trump has
developed with the Chinese president. Remember when the Chinese president
comes to Washington and they're supposed to have, you know,
a number of ten or fifteen minute meetings, they end
up going on for hours, and people like, where are
these guys? What, What's what's going on in there? Well,
(08:55):
it ends up they developed a friendship and as a
result of that, well, we now have na is growing
more dependent on us energy exports. At one point, he
actually turned around some some imports from North Korea. They
have significantly reduced their exports to North Korea, and so
that partnership has paid huge dividends, culminating in what happened,
(09:18):
you know, arout seven fifteen or so last night when
you have the announcement. I have the privilege of briefing
the president on my recent trip to pyong Yang, and
this is the South Korean president uh, and I'd like
to thank the President, the Vice President, the national security team,
and because that Donald Trump's leadership has brought us to
this juncture, and expressed his gratitude for Trump's leadership. I
(09:42):
told the President that in our meeting, North Korean leader
Kim Jong un said that he has committed to D nuclearization.
Now slow down. That doesn't D nuclearization met. That is
a lot bigger than the way the press even played
this up. If you've got a d nuclearize his own,
he's gonna get this. These talks are about him getting
(10:02):
rid of nuclear weapons and joining the world community, doesn't
mean it's gonna happen. I don't want to raise expectations.
I'm a Reagan trust but verify guy, I'm I believe
in peace through strength. I think strength brought us to
this position. Anyway, he goes on and he said, he
pledged that North Korea would refrain from missile tests, and
he understands that the routine joined exercises must continue. So
(10:26):
America is going to continue their joint exercises in the region.
America is going to continue their military presence in the region.
America is going to continue. Then the President actually tweeted
out that Kim Jong un talked about de nuclearization with
South Korean representatives. Not just a freeze. A freeze means
he gets to keep everything he's got. Also, no missile
(10:46):
testing by North Korea during this time period. Great progress
being made, but sanctions will remain until an agreement has reached.
The meeting is being planned. I'm watching these idiots on TV,
the same people that said, oh, oh, he's gonna start.
He can't, he can't call him little rocket man. Well
he can, and he did. And as a result, we
have an opportunity maybe to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, which
(11:10):
would be great. You've got to be optimistic of a
peaceful resolution that would be a good thing for North Korea, China, Japan,
the entire region be good for the North Korean people,
they might be able to eat. So it's major breaking news.
And at the end of the day, there's only one
interpretation if you're honest, and that is that what Donald
(11:30):
Trump did here is he got Kim Jong un to blink.
He got his attention, and all the president's actions backed
up the words that he was using, and the President
made clear that Okay, you've got your button, We got
a bigger buttons and ours work and ours are accurate.
That was never a good solution. There is no good solution.
(11:52):
Bill Clinton promised after he made a deal with Kim
Jong UN's father, Kim Jong il Uh, that oh, this
is a good deal for the America and people. He
does what liberals always do. He bows down on bended
knee and he tries to bribe murdering dictatorships and regimes.
And in that case, there was some three billion dollars
in energy and subsidies, and it didn't work. They still
(12:14):
pursued their nuclear weapons program. The world wasn't a safer place.
It was a more dangerous place. And the same thing happened,
and it's happening right before our eyes. But some obscene
reason Barack Obama thinks it's a good deal that he
gave the Iranian mulas a hundred and fifty billion dollars
in in cargo, planes and cash and other currencies, and
(12:37):
he's still even allowed the Iranians to spend their centerfuges.
Those are the same Malo's chanting death to Israel, death
to America. Today, after two years of negotiations, the United States,
together were international partners, has achieved something that decades of
animosity has not, A comprehensive, long term deal with the
(12:58):
Run that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
This deal demonstrates that American diplomacy can bring about real
and meaningful change, change that makes our country and the
world safer and more secure. This deal is also in
line with a tradition of American leadership. A total, complete
and utter fantasy on Obama's part, on Clinton's part, it's
(13:22):
no different than the idiocy of appeasement of Neville Chamberlain
and peace in our time. And as my mother would
always rue, the day you give these people billions of dollars,
I can tell you, no matter what happened, there's no
there's no downside to this. Either the North Koreans capitulate
or they get nothing. That's how it's gonna work. They're
not gonna get billions of dollars in cash and other
(13:45):
currency from Trump. All right, So these are the details
as it relates for Christian Saucier. Um. Now, the president
issued the second pardon of his presidency just today. Former
Navy seller Christian Saucier. Sadie Saucier said she was thrilled
to hear about the pardon. I can't believe it happened.
It's still sinking in. She said that her husband was
(14:07):
driving a garbage truck when the news came in. He
texted me back, what with an exclamation point. I'm very grateful.
It's gonna be a huge reality when probation calls and
the ankle monitor comes off. Remember he was sentenced to
a year in prison in the Steen campaign. What did
he do? He took pictures inside a nuclear submarine. Now,
(14:29):
Trump did talk about the case on the campaign trail,
saying that he was ruined for doing nothing compared to
Hillary Clinton. Say, it was only twenty two years old
when he took cell phone photos in two thousand and nine,
and Saucy is now thirty one. He took him inside
a sub They were confidential, lowest level of classification. Even
though some depicted the the you know it gave away
(14:52):
no information that basically weren't even public knowledge. Clinton, by contrast,
sent and received top secret clas passified and the highest
classification special access programming UH security on a private, insecure
email server that was hacked by five foreign entities. Saucier
told The Washington Examiner earlier this year that a felony
(15:15):
conviction made it hard for him to find work, and
he worked as a garbage man to support his wife
and his young daughter. His family's cars were repossessed while
he was in prison in his Vermont home was in foreclosure.
Saucier has several months awhere in the ankle bracelet are
now gone. They can take that off, which is great,
great news. One other thing, I can't emphasize this enough.
(15:38):
Even the Wall Street Journal pointed it out today. The
President got Kim Jong unto this point in large part
because of the relationship he's had with China and the
Chinese president, because China was ramping up their enforcement of
international sanctions and UH. If you go back to March first,
the Wall Street Journal was writing a week long tour
(15:59):
of China's borders. Border regions found the sanctions of starting
to bite. Inside of North Korea, factories are closing, prices
are rising, power shortages in some areas. The drop off
an official trade with China, which normally accounts for North
Korea's total, is a blow to pyeong Yang. And China's
imports from North Korea dropped by a third in seventeen,
(16:22):
the Chinese government says, and in December they were down
from the year prior. Well, what do you think happened here?
The President was spending hours with the Chinese president and
I asked him. He said, He've never gotten along with
anybody so fast in my life, and they just hit
it off, and he had gotten on the phone. He
called the Chinese president and he supported it anyway. Eight
(16:44):
nine one, Shawn, toll free telephone number. You want to
be a part of the program. We got a lot
of other news we will get to and your calls
straight ahead, alright to the top of the hour. Happy Friday.
Thanks for being one of us toll free on numbers.
Eight one Shawn, you want to be a part of
the program. Uh, frankly, The numbers are amazing, just phenomenal.
(17:05):
And you know, I I spent a whole year giving
you the same numbers statistics eight years after Obama, thirteen
million more Americans on food stamps, eight million more in poverty,
lowest labor participation since the seventies, worst recovery since the forties,
lowest home ownership rate in fifty one years, and he
doubled the national debt. That was Obama's track record. And
(17:27):
the only reason it wasn't even worse is because the
FED stepped in with artificially low interest rates. You know,
almost the entire time just a disaster. And after eight years,
there's not one there's nobody in the media that ever
told you the truth about how bad it was. Now
people are optimistic. Optimism is is higher than it's ever been.
(17:51):
You know, if you just look, you know, at the
numbers that came out today, it's pretty phenomenal. And if
you want America to succeed, what was the last election about?
The last election was about America's what forgotten men and
America's forgotten women, and those people that are out of work,
and those people that are in poverty and those people
(18:12):
that are on food stamps, and those people that are
out of the labor force, and those people that that
feel hope has left them. Anyway, you got a job blowout,
and the economy now added three thirteen thousand new workers
and maybe the best single day of of Donald Trump's presidency.
Between last night and today, he's being hailed for a
(18:34):
diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea. By the way, if he
was a Democrat, he probably would have gotten the Nobel
Peace Prize just for just for getting to this point.
But today's unemployment report, it chose the job growth came
in at more than fifty percent higher than the experts expected.
US stock futures jumped by triple digits Friday morning after
the monthly unemployment report, the highest level of job growth
(18:57):
since July of twenty sixteen. Three thirteen thousand jobs added
in February, far surpassing expectations of an increase of maybe
two hundred and of course that was after January is
better than expected reading. So the rate continue unemployment rate
is four point one percent. It's the lowest rate more
(19:18):
than seventeen years. The labor force participation rate increase to
sixty That metric gauges the percentage of working age Americans
that are working or looking for work. The average hourly
earnings meanwhile increased UH to twenty six point seven five
that's the hourly rate cents. The wage growth rose by
(19:40):
two point six percent. That's down slightly from the two
point nine wage increase from January. Goods producing industries like
construction and manufacturing, mining, logging collectively had the highest month
of month growth since job creation numbers or January and
(20:01):
December were revised higher. Also, according to the monthly report,
you now have a record a hundred and fifty five million,
two hundred fifteen thousand Americans that are employed. That is
a record number. Amazing. That's uh just incredible. That's seven
hundred and eighty five thousand people more than last month's
(20:22):
record according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The number
of employed. If you want to break it down demographically,
which everybody in the media likes to do, Black Hispanic
unemployment in America now at historic lows. Number of black
employed Americans had a record high nineteen million, eighty seven
thousand last month, and a record seventy two thousand, five
(20:43):
hundred and thirty women sixteen and older. We're counted as employed.
It's to put the unemployment rate in perspective. The last
time we saw rates this low, Bill Clinton was president.
In the final four months of two thousand, Clinton's full
year in office, the unemployment rate went to a three
point nine Its lowest rate was three point eight percent.
(21:05):
These are amazing numbers. Wages continue to rise, numbers of
Americans not in the labor force is being reduced, and
we have the non civilian I mean, I just go
through these numbers all day. The bottom line, these are
great numbers and a great day. But you wouldn't know
it if you look at the news media last night.
(21:28):
You know, I actually looked at some of this stuff
online and by NewsBusters. So you've got one good news
bombshell after another in the last twenty four hours, which
is good for America. What drives elections well, peace and prosperity.
If we can get in the Korean peninsula, if we
can get peace and we can d nuclearize the area,
(21:48):
do you imagine what that means for economic possibilities for everybody.
It's phenomenal. So you have all those good news out there,
some one thousand news jobs all time, approval rating high
in the Marie Survey and Zogby and Rasputes, and so
Trump's approval ratings continue to grow, and the president of
(22:10):
Democrats claim was so unstable and deranged, maybe on the
verge of a breakthrough with North Korea that could be
worthy of a real peace prize. And it has left
Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi literally speechless, and
Maxie Waters has gone into hiding. You know, I got
a clip last night of MSNBC and their conspiracy theorists
(22:32):
over there. This is could you could you? You could
imagine a president asking himself why is no other American
president ever agreed to do this? You might imagine another
president in this circumstance, Kim jongan makes he makes a request?
You want to me? You might? You might think like
another president in the circumstance, you can imagine the president
asking himself for herself. Why has no other American president
(22:56):
ever agreed to do this? Why has no sitting on
American president ever met with a leader for North Korea?
Why has that never happened in all the decades North
Korea has existed as a nation. Why why hasn't any
other president ever done? Should I take that to mean
that this might be a particularly risky or even an
unwise move. I think that's how most presidents would approach
(23:20):
the idea of a personal presidential meeting with the North
Korean dictator. And I can't take anymore. Let me, let me,
let me answer this. Donald Trump is not the president
that is going to get down on his hands and
knees and kiss the ring of radical Islamic mullahs in
Iran and deliver a hundred and fifty billion dollars in
(23:42):
cash and other currencies. No, he's not like those guys.
He's not like the guy that said this is a
good deal, especially for the hot chicks. This is a
good deal for the American people. And give no I'm
giving North Korea billions. I expect him to be playing
ice in the sand box. Now that's an at the guy. Now,
good news is bad news for people on the left
(24:06):
side of the aisle, because every bit of economic good
news that comes out it points out just how incompetent,
just how the radical leftism of Obama, you know that
gave that same network some anchors thrill up their legs.
Has policies have failed? This is the perfect moment to
(24:28):
historically learn something. One piece through strength works, two sanctions work,
three talking tough and meaning it works. Bribery, extortions, sucking
up to murdering dictatorships doesn't work. Appeasement doesn't work. Nor
(24:49):
does redistributing the wealth work. Nor does punishing business and
burdening business with high taxes and regulations work. None of
it works. But for whatever reason, we get sucked into
this ebb and flow that we're gonna try stupid every
time again. Jimmy Carter failed, Reagan had to clean up
(25:12):
his mess. Reagan's policies worked, the same happened the same
exact thing. Obama's policies were a disaster. And if Americans
don't know what it's because they're not listening to this program.
I made a decision I'm gonna say it every day
during the election how bad it was, because I knew
nobody else would say it. And look at where we
are now. Americans have opportunities and we have a chance
(25:35):
of peace that nobody thought possible to the Korean peninsula.
That's good for the country, that's good for you, that's
good for America. Now we have some other issues to
move on here, uh with and Uh, you know, it's
nice to have some good news once in a while.
I think there is a raspusin survey that says that
(25:57):
the Oakland Mayor, Libby chaff who was standing by her
decision to aid and abet criminal activity and tip off
the city's illegal immigration population last week, that ICE agents
were on the way. And the survey asked, well, the
mayor of a major city recently notified illegal immigrants in
(26:18):
her city that a federal immigration authorities were about to
conduct operations there, should the U. S Department of Justice
seek obstruction of justice charges against the mayor. We of
likely US voters said yes, the Justice Department should seek
obstruction and justice charges against the mayor. Thirty six percent opposed.
(26:39):
I know the left would love it because they think
in their minds that would just turn, you know, this
mayor into a martyr. We have um as she stands defiant.
There's an interesting Daily Caller piece out today, as this
mayor shaft stands defiant in face of immigration law and
defiance of immigration laws. You've the mayor protecting all these
(27:01):
You know, you got part of the population there. There's
a hundred illegal alien pedophiles. According to the Daily caller
and child sex abusers and wife beaters and rapists, a
hundred in and around that area. I gave you the
statistics of the two and thirty two they apprehended. A
hundred and fifteen of them had committed very very serious crimes.
(27:23):
So they were looking for illegal immigrants that had then
been found guilty of other major crimes. This was not
They weren't going after Dhaka. They weren't going after Dreamers.
They weren't going after people on that overstayed their their visa.
They weren't going after chain migration. No, they were going
after those illegal immigrants that were convicted of other crimes
(27:47):
and still on the streets of our cities and towns.
That's what that was about. And they were successful, but
the mayor did put the life of law enforcement agents
in jeopardy, and that's a problem. Now I want to
give you an update. We'll do this more at the
top of the hour. There's two big developments in what
is we can call in one general term Obama Gate
(28:10):
or deep state gate, whatever term you prefer to use.
And that was I told you yesterday that uh, the
Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, he gave an interview with Shannon
Bream of the Fox News Channel, and in that interview,
he says, I have appointed a person outside of Washington
many years at the Department of Justice to look at
(28:31):
all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent
to us, and we are conducting that investigation. And then
Jeff Session said that he's well aware that we have
a responsibility to ensure the integrity of the Fizer process.
We're not afraid to look at it, he said, and
he pointed out the Inspector General report. We're expecting that
(28:52):
any day now has almost five employees, most of them
lawyers and prosecutors, and they're looking at the Fizer process. Um,
what does that tell you, Well, tells you that a
lot of times the Department of Justice is doing things
that you don't know about. I know it's been so
frustrating for those of us that know the crimes were committed,
(29:12):
but it seems like the attention has been got finally
has gotten to the Department of Justice. And that means
everything involving that phony bought and paid for Russian dossier
of Hillary Clinton that was then used to obtain a
FIZA warrant against Carter paid Trump campaign associate and the
Trump campaign uh that in fact, the fact that they
(29:34):
lied to the judge purposely omitted information to the judge.
They knew it was bought and paid for by Clinton,
they never told the judge that, and they knew they
had never verified, which the FISA law mandates and FBI
protocol mandates. So that's a huge development. I hear there's something. Well,
let me put it this way, TikTok for next week.
(29:56):
Something big coming. Can feel it. It's in my d
n a. I know. Now on another side, issue, the
Iranian one issue has come back into play. Anyway, there
was a horrible hip piece after Democrats. They're scared to
death of the Iranian one issue. When we now find
that found out why now we broke this story like
other stories, and we've been telling you that something is coming.
(30:17):
This is a big story. And some of you say, yeah, right,
you always told us that, Hannity, while I haven't been
proven wrong yet. Anyway, what we learned is when the
Uranian one William Douglas. Douglas Campbell is the informant that
was inside Putin's network while he was trying to get
a foothold in the Iranian industry anyway. So Democrats put
out a preemptive hit strike against this witness who literally
(30:39):
was risking his life being in Putin's network when they're
involved in bribery, extortion, and money laundering and kickbacks. And
he's the one that knew everything that was happening anyway.
So we're gonna talk to Victoria Tunsing. Now. We found
out in this piece that in December seen FBI agents
from Little Rock, Arkansas interviewed Mr Campbell about the Clinton Foundation. Yeah,
(31:01):
now they would would they have done that if he
and any concerns about Campbell? I doubt it. All right,
let me take a quick break. We'll come back and
we'll continue. It's the Sean Hannity Show. When we come back,
an exclusive interview the attorney for that FBI informant in
the Uranian one case. The big bombshell that the Arkansas
FBI talked to this informant about the Clinton Foundation in
(31:25):
December of last year. That is a huge development. Also,
Jeff Sessions appears to be moving very close now to
announcing a special counsel. We'll get to that and much
more as we continue. Will also get your calls. In
eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, if you want to
be a part of the program, alright, our to Sean
(31:53):
Hannity's show, right down, our toll free telephone number. You
want to be a part of the program. It was
one year ago yesterday that Sarah Carter John Solomon broke
this story that in fact, there was a Fizer warrant
issued against the Trump campaign, an associate of the Trump campaign,
and at the time President tweeted out some days later
that oh it looks like I was wire tapped, and
(32:14):
everybody in the media mocked, made fun of, and then
so many people that knew that it had happened tonight
it publicly. Then it gets to the issue of the
phony dossier we have found out about. Okay, we have
a phony dossier that was bought and paid for by
the Clinton campaign the d n C, that was used
as the bulk of information to secure a Fizer warrant.
That was the biggest part of the application to get
(32:37):
the FISA warrant, And in fact, they withheld very key
information from the FISA court judge. They never said that
Clinton Boughton paid for it. They only had a footnote.
It may be political in nature, that doesn't that's that's
lying by omission as far as I'm concerned. Then you
have the issue of James Comey, who knew that it
was bought and paid for, knew that the fiser warrant
(32:57):
was applied for when he met with Trump three after
the application had been granted, while he lied to Donald
Trump saying it was not verified and not salationous. Now
that violates a whole host of FBI rules, The fis
lawn and a bunch of other things. Now, a lot
of you've been impatient about making progress on all these issues.
It's only many years since we've started, and we've made
(33:19):
so much progress. Now, yesterday was another day where a
lot of progress was made. There was a hit piece
that was put out against that FBI informant in the
Uranian one case. Now, he was the one that was
in Vladimir Putin's operation network Withinside America that had a
goal of getting a foothold in America's uranium industry, and
(33:39):
he's the one that chronicled the bribery, the extortion, the
money laundering, in the kickbacks. Well, there was a selective
leak against William Campbell. This is a guy that's been
in the Cia. You know, some thirty years he's been
in this career. He knew about Vladimir Putin's intentions early on.
Robert Mueller was the FBI director, will Campbell as an
(34:00):
FBI informant, and they did nothing anyway. The attorney for
William Campbell fought back hard yesterday and as a matter
of course, also revealed that there is an investigation in
the Clinton Foundation that is being undertaken by the FBI
office in Arkansas. So here to weigh in on all
these new developments this week, Sarah Carter, investigative reporter Fox
(34:22):
News Channel, and Victoria Tunsing of the Jenneva and Tuntsing,
who was the lawyer for Mr Campbell, the informant in
the Uranian one case. Welcome both of you. Alright, you
wrote this letter. Talk to you, Victoria. What a stinging
rebuke to this hit piece that was leaked to the Hill.
Um and there's a lot of new information in it. Uh,
(34:43):
tell us all that you can at this point, Well,
the Democrats were intent on putting out what Mr Campbell
did not know. Well, Sean, if if if I tell
you that I've got a lot of influence with X,
and X is going to do me a good deal,
and that deal takes place, and you learned later that
(35:03):
X received a lot of money from me GC. I mean,
you don't need to be there to see the money
exchanging hands. You don't need to know anymore than that
I bragged about being able to fix something through X,
and that thing got done, so that the Democrats were
just saying, well, he wasn't there, he didn't see the money,
(35:23):
he didn't see it, that he didn't hear this. He
wasn't at Siffius. Well, of course not. That was not
his role. You know. I told you all along, whenever
you tease me and say, okay, what's he going to say?
I would say, he's going to tell you what the
Russians were saying about their relationship with the Clintons. And
what he said was exactly that they were always bragging
that they had influence with the Clintons, and lo and behold,
(35:47):
the Ciffius deal goes through you. The article in the Hill,
the hip piece was based solely on Democratic sources and
the Democratic memo. Now, as you lay out how false
and how basically this is a hit job against your client,
and this is only selective leaking by Democrats that got
a hold of this information. You also reveal that it
(36:08):
wasn't very long ago, in December of just last year,
that FBI agents in Little Rock, Arkansas interviewed the informant
Mr Campbell about the Clinton Foundation. Now would they have
done so if they had any credibility concerns about him?
The answers obviously no, So absolutely not, because it was
(36:28):
about the Clinton Foundation, which was not the subject of
when he was working to show the corruption in the
Russian UH companies way back in the two thousand and
nine and ten. Um, this was about the Clinton Foundation,
which he was not asked to report on at the time.
So now they came back and they told him he
was a great fellow and they really praised him for
(36:49):
his work. Um, the Democrats are lying, which they do
off an atom shift just lies when he talks. Let
me just tell you something. They criticized him for his memory. Well,
Mr Campbell has leukemia and he's taking medicine every morning.
He has to take chemotherapy medicine and so he gets
(37:11):
he conks out, so for about three or four hours.
That's why we had to even have the briefing in
the afternoon. Um, he wrote, He worked for a couple
of weeks knowing this briefing was coming up, to write
everything down so he could be polite to them and
if he forgot something, which he rarely did during the
four and a half hours, he could confer it to
his notes. And they mock him because he doesn't have
(37:34):
a good memory. The Democrats pretty disgraceful. But with cancer
and how many how many years has he served as
country within the CIA being an aformant and he was
a covert operative and undercover at times, so that means
he was risking his life every time. Right, yes, And
let me tell you about this reporter from the Hill,
because I said to her, you didn't even you didn't
(37:57):
even call me. I mean that's journalism. One h oh,
I'm sorry. I apologize um, and I wanted a retraction
and she said, well no because I printed what the
Democrats told me. That was her reason for not wanting
So it's typical media. It's such a disgrace the state
of so called journalism. I want to get your take
on on this, Sarah. The thing that stands out is
(38:21):
this interview by the Arkansas FBI looking into the Clinton Foundation,
really confirming something we have thought was happening, we suspected
was happening, we've gotten win that it was happening, but
now we have full confirmation it is happening. Yes, the
fact that we know now without a doubt that the
(38:43):
FBI Little Rock, Arkansas Field Office is is investigating the
Clinton Foundation. Remember it's part of a number of field
offices Sean that we suspected we're still investigating the Clinton Foundation.
This is just rock solid that that's exactly what they're doing.
And it is evident that they would go to William Campbell,
(39:04):
Victoria's client and asked him for an interview because they
believe and they know he has information to share with them.
This is about this, this entire Democratic memo, and I
did get a response back from the Hill, which is
in my story. Uh, this entire Democratic memo was a
hit piece basically on William Campbell. The FBI paid him
(39:29):
over fifty thousand dollars in two thousand and sixteen. They
invited him for dinner, they thanked him for his service
for his work. You don't keep a man for six
years undercover, in this particular case, working both counter intelligence
and criminal for the bureau if they are unreliable and
(39:50):
not very good at collecting information. But didn't he discover
while he had penetrated and was an informant for our FBI,
he discovered bribery, extortion, money laundering, kickbacks, basically racketeering. It's
a Putin network working within the United States with a
goal to get a foothold in the Iranian industry. Now,
(40:13):
Bob Muller is the FBI director at the time. He
was passing this information onto his superiors. Why did they
allow Putin's operatives to be successful in the end? This
is eighteen months before they signed off on that uranium
one deal. Well, because they were in a counter intelligence investigation.
And this is what's really this is what's really incredible here.
You know, we've we know now that that William Campbell
(40:36):
had worked with the CIA. We know we was passed
off by the CIA to the FBI, which was investigating uh,
you know, bribery, kickbacks and all kinds of other types
of schemes, money laundering between the Russians and US contractors
here in the United States. And we know that Campbell
was providing very sensitive counter intelligence information. So I think
(41:00):
what happens is this they're collecting the counter intelligence information,
and they can't crack down fast enough on the bad
guys because they're still collecting information. But the fact remains
that the information that Campbell was providing to the FBI
was being run up the chain of command. And that's
according to the agents that were handling him. That is
(41:22):
the information that they gave him, and we know it
ran up the chain of command. We believe Mueller of
course knew about this. Then it would go further up
in according to the FBI handlers, and this is based
on Campbell's documentation from the time it actually went to
the President of the United States. Well, even if the
public didn't know about this, Sean, the United States government,
(41:44):
people within the government knew about it, and that would
have been enough. And they didn't be on Thessipius board
stop that sale, and they had eighteen months knowledge. Uh
full I thought Russian interference Victoria Tunsy was something that
we never wanted in this country. But it sounds like
they allowed Russian interference at a level that that goes
(42:06):
way beyond them trying to use trolls to impact an election.
But Sean, this was during the Obama administration. Mr. You know,
he do no wrong, and this was Russia Reset, which
everybody applauded. You recall that. So this was two thousand nine,
two tho and ten, and Hillary was making making eyes
at Putin. Then it was all hunky dory. Also, all
(42:30):
they had to do is Sarah was just saying, all
the government had to do was write a secret memo
to the ciffiest people and say we can't go into
detail right now, but these are bad players, so don't
approve it. That's all they had to do. You're right,
all right, We'll take a break. We'll come back more
with Victoria Tunsing and Sarah Carter on the other side
of the break, We're gonna look at the polls. Interesting
(42:51):
things happening. This blue Democratic wave that people were predicting
never happened. What does it mean for as we continue
with Victoria Tunsing and Sarah Carter, And Victoria represents the
informant in the Ranium one case, and we have now
discovered that, in fact, he spoke to the FBI Bureau
(43:13):
in Arkansas as it relates to the Clinton Foundation. So
this is getting interesting. I want to ask you both
about the comments yesterday about by Jeff Sessions having appointed
an outside person outside of Washington who worked many years
at the Department of Justice looking into the FISA abuses,
and he said he's well aware that he has a
(43:34):
responsibility to ensure the integrity of the FISA process. Sounds
to me like this is a prelude to a special counsel. Victoria, Well,
we would hope so, because the i G even though
we all respect him and know he's going to do
an honest job. Line core witch Um, he has no
authority to subpoena anybody outside the Justice Department nets and
(43:55):
administrative subpoena or a command walk or talk if you're
working at d o J. But if you're not, if
you have left d o J, or you are working
at the CIA or State Department, then he can't compel
you to talk to him about anything. So forget the
fact that he didn't even have the power to indict somebody.
So it's got to go to a special council, all right,
And I think this is a tip of the hat.
(44:17):
Now what I heard is where less than ten days
away from the IG report, I hear the IG report
is going to be devastating to names that this audience
will be familiar with FBI not following processes. They're gonna
their own process, their own, their own way of doing things,
and that things have really become politicized at the Bureau,
in the higher echelons at least. Uh Sarah would seem
(44:40):
to me that that then would trigger a special counsel
that would probably go back looking at the Clinton e
mail investigation and the fixed being in and at being rigged,
and that would mean that the dossier is gonna be
looked into who bought and paid for it and how
has it ever presented the way it was to a
fise A court without giving the fires the judges the
proper information. Of course, absolutely. I mean I spoke today
(45:02):
to several Congressional members that informed me that it looks
more likely that a special counsel will be appointed, and
that's what they're hearing. So it looks like we are
definitely heading in that direction. And I think it's interesting
because Attorney General Jeff Sessions when she was when he
was on Fox talking to Shannon Bream, he was very
explicit that he had a prosecutor outside of the scope
(45:26):
that has been looking at this for some time. And
remember this is something that they had spoken to us
about in the past. It's something I reported on and
included that they did have prosecutors looking at this and
they were assessing whether or not this should move towards
a special council. Victoria brought up really great points. I
mean they're outside the scope of the I g. Some
of these witnesses that he needs to call in. I
(45:49):
have been told that Michael Horowitz, who is the Inspector General,
really doesn't have the resources to go after something as
big as a foreign intelligence surveillance application violation or the FBI.
It doesn't have the prosecutorial powers either. So that's that's
why I would have to be handed over. That's right.
I want to go back really quick shown to Victoria
and her you know, and the issue that she's been
(46:11):
dealing with with the uranium one UH informant with Mr Campbell.
I was looking at a number of stories that came
out after the Hill and I can tell you maybe
we can ask her now. But Yahoo didn't, quote didn't
have a comment from her. CNN didn't, The Washington Examiner,
the Washington Post, well, they never bothered, which is why
she had to put out her own state Vitoria. Yeah,
(46:34):
I mean, I don't have any time, but we'll have
you both on Hannity tonight and we'll delve deeper. This
is a huge development. And Victoria, Uh, I'm sorry what
they did to your client. Obviously he was trying to
to warn everybody how dangerous this was and we should
have heeded his warning. Thank you both will have a
lot more on Hannity tonight as these stories now move
(46:56):
into hyper speed mode and uh new development. It seems
every hour eight d nine for one, Shawn, toll free
telephone number. All Right, we're now in an election year.
It's an off year election. It's a mid term out
of the Republicans. Look, can you glean anything out of
Texas and what's coming up Tuesday and in Pittsburgh. That's
straight ahead. Glad you wther us twenty five now till
(47:17):
the top of the hour one, Shawn, if you want
to be a part of the program. Uh, you know
there's a lot of talk heading into the Texas primaries
earlier this week that there's gonna be a big blue
wave in Texas. Well, didn't turn out that way. I
think the best analysis I read came from a Democrat
who's gonna join us in a second Doug shown and
(47:38):
his headline is Texas primaries disappointing for Dems, but there
are some bright spots, and he said the results of
recent primaries in Texas were surprising and for Democrats. Concerning
the overall trend was much greater turn out for Republicans.
And then he gave examples. For example, sixty two point
eight percent of US Center primary votes were cast on
(47:59):
the public inside as opposed to thirty seven point two
percent for the Democrats. In the race for governor, sixty
percent of votes were cast for the Republican primary for
the Democratic one. This result contradicted Democratic optimism that this
would finally be the year that Texas goes blue and
be lied some earlier predictive metrics. In early voting, Democrats
(48:22):
outnumbered Republicans and fifteen largest districts. The results of these
primaries demonstrate clearly that the Democratic establishments needs to rethink
their strategy if they want to capitalize on potential energy
of backlash to President Trump. And even more concerning was
the lack of Democratic enthusiasm in districts that Hillary Clinton
(48:42):
had carried in twenty sixteen and the presidential election. And
he goes on from there and joining us now to
take a beginning of what will be many shows, many
half hours, will be doing as a lead up to
the mid terms in eighteen. And there's a lot at stake.
Nancy Pelosi becomes speaker of the how us uh, God
only knows what would happen in terms of their hatred
(49:04):
for Donald Trump. Doug shown is with us. He is
a Polster author, Fox News political analysts and John McLaughlin poster,
founder of McLaughlin and Associates. Welcome guys back to the
program and appreciate you being with us. All right, before
we go, we before we even start, Who's gonna win
the House and Senate when all said and done in
(49:25):
November this year? And I'll start with John McLaughlin. Well,
the Republicans should win it, and and the reason is
because they should be able to control the agenda. And
with the President succeeding where you saw over three hundred
thousand jobs were created this month that that was announced today,
so the tax cuts are working. And then last night,
certainly with the news that he's going to uh negotiate
(49:48):
personally with the North Korea and that they're willing to
to to you know, stop their nuclear missile tests. Uh. Well,
at the same time, the United States is still we're
we're still doing our military exercises and we're still keeping
the sanctions on them. So, um, the policy success of
President Trump gives the Republicans in the House and the
(50:10):
Senate a great opportunity. I'll tell you the Senate. Um,
what's really interesting. Of those ten states that Donald Trump
won for president where Democrats are standing for re election,
there was a recent pull by actually five of five
of those states have the Republican a generic Republican ahead
of the incumbent Democrat. So we should be able to
pick up seats in the Senate and the House if
(50:30):
they if they get their act together and they keep
keep moving up votes on key issues like they did
on tax cuts with the Democrats, we should be able
to hold it. But it's March, so we've got lots
of time between now and then and Tuesday's special election
in Pennsylvania is like Texas where the Democrats hopes her
up that they think they'll be able to take a seat.
(50:50):
But um, I think I think President Trump growing out
there can make a big difference and we'll get the
Trump voters. Three He's not a particularly strong candidate. Let's
let's be honest about out this. And the Democrats in
that particular case did did pick a moderate a marine.
So it's made it far more competitive based on who
they chose for that election. Correct. Absolutely, they're trying to
(51:12):
trying to be a lighter version of the Republicans, but
they're not because and that's the key thing about having
the House and the Senate make the Democrats vote, because
when they vote on these issues, um, you know, they're
they're stifling good legislation, but they get exposed, whether it's
whether it's work fair, whether it's uh, you know, immigration.
(51:32):
I mean, the presidents come up with a reasonable compromise,
the Democrats won't even bring it to a vote, yeah,
which I think is bad policy. I mean, there are
even people that want DACA and people that would benefit
from DACA. And you know, Dreamers are really dumping on
Democrats at this point, Doug, and they're protesting, you know,
the expiration of the DOCCA deadline, and they're saying, well,
(51:53):
why didn't the Democrats take the deal? They wanted that deal.
I've written pieces and said on your show they should
in fact have taken the deal. I agree with John
about the center. I think Republicans will pick up a
couple of seats UM or worst case, hold where they are.
But I think right now they're looking to pick up
I think the House though, UM, given the approval ratings
(52:17):
of the Republican congressional leadership, the fact that the president
himself is still underwater, I think there's a pretty good
shan Sewan. The Democrats win the House, and they win
it in California, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, UM, Oregon, Washington,
largely but not entirely because of the non deductibility of
(52:39):
state and local text. I'm not sure, but there aren't
many Republicans that are up, and most of those seats
are pretty well jerrymandered. I mean, I don't think t
King is going to be in trouble in New York,
are Long Island uh, and a lot of the Republicans
actually opposed the bill. What's that? John Fasso certainly is
in a couple of others you're talking about you, you're
(53:01):
talking about Mike candidates. You just named three of my
three of my candidates. It's well, John's basically saying you're
gonna be the big loser on election. Day. If that happens,
we'll have you on the day after and say why
didn't you do your job when they win? But let
me tell you I've written those I've written their cotails
in these elections. John Fast was an extremely hard worker
(53:23):
for first term. He's doing very very well. You also
have I mean Pete King and Les Eldon are very
very popular candidates. And and you just mean free people
that actually voted against that provision when they voted against
the tax cut plan because they were standing up for
their districts and people respect their independence. But I tell
you the thing that the thing that's really really important
is in at last survey in February Less National Servant,
(53:46):
we asked the question do you think the economy is
getting better or worse? Fifty six to thirty two, the
majority of Americans said said better. And that economic growth
because of those tax cuts that they're seeing and hearing
about every day, is making it extremely hard for the Democrats.
Even Nancy Pelosi was backing up today where she was
trying to say it wasn't just crumbs. I mean, she
(54:09):
she she understands that she she sounded so out of
touch when she said that, I mean the greatest thing
we have going for us is not necessarily, um, you know,
the fact that we've got any things done. But it's
it's that the Democrats are so out of touch and
their values are so wrong and so out of touch
with the mainstream in the heartland of America. What happened
(54:31):
in Texas where everybody was predicting this big blue wave
and it didn't materialize at all. Even the New York
Times half apologized for not being there. I think the
problem is, I say this as a Democrat. I know
my friend John mcclacklin will agree. It's not only that
the Democrats are out of touch. They don't have an agenda.
(54:52):
They don't stand for anything other than resist. And what
I said in the article you were kind enough to
quote Sean is an agenda, a centrist approach. They can't
maximize their appeal. And I think John would agree with
me on that done and I would, but I'd go
one further. He says they don't have an agenda. They
(55:12):
do have an agenda. Every Democrat voted against President Trump's
tax cut. Every Democrat is not willing to compromise on
immigration because they want to keep uh diversity lottery they
want to keep chain migration. So so there's there's an
issue after issue with the Democrats are trying to keep
quiet that they really don't agree with the majority of
(55:35):
Americans on these issues. So it's and it's really incumbent
on the Republicans because you know, in November, if we
don't make an issue of where the Democrats are wrong,
that they that they oppose work fair even term limits.
I mean the members there they should vote on term loves.
The majority of Americans want that. It's the biggest thing
going to drain the swamp. If the Republicans don't vote
(55:57):
on the issues that the majority of Americans care about,
then it's our own fault if we would lose the House. If,
on the other hand, we stand the Democrats and make
them vote, then what then what happens is we have
a really good shot to keep the House and sentenc
But the great irony and all of this is that
Donald Trump. You look at the Heritage Foundation study, he
complete sixty percent of his agenda in the first year
(56:19):
of his presidency. And I know there was not a
lot of great fanfare. Uh, there was last night on
the issue of North Korea, which which was pretty spectacular
by any objective measure. Every nobody thought that the president
that said, hey, little rocket man, we've got rockets that work,
and they're bigger than yours, and you're not going to
intimidate the United States of America. Seemingly, through his sanctions
(56:41):
and other policies and tough rhetoric, has brought this guy
to the table, and he's not going to be bribing
them with cargo planes full of cash and other currencies
to the tune of a hundred and fifty billion dollars
like Obama did with Iran or Clinton did with North
Korea and Kim Jong UN's father. So my point is that,
you know, I think if the Republicans were smart, they'd say, Okay,
(57:02):
now the president's nearing the fifty approval rating mark I
would always argue that he pulls lower than where he
really is because he's a controversial figure. But with the
look at the economic numbers today, Uh, you got to
say that the Republicans will looking a lot better because
of Trump. Uh. In spite of their hostility towards Trump,
(57:24):
what I would say is the Democrats best asset are
the Republicans in the Congress who really can't get their
act together, and there is a message there, Sean. But
as you have told me for so long, and I agree,
they really can't get out of their way. They get
themselves into trouble. Well, Republicans have been weak. I mean
(57:45):
they could have they could have had so much more
in terms of success in the advancing their agenda. But
you know they could barely get out of their way
and repeal and replace healthcare. Now they did eventually get
rid of the mandate. That's a good start. Uh. The
tax plan though, I think is having so to positive
effect on the country. Just by looking at today's numbers,
we can see tangible results and a reversal of eight
(58:08):
years of decline. John McLaughlin, that's you know, people vote
their pocketbooks, period. Yes, but you just said on a
really important part the president and the reliable polls that
we look at where they actually make sure they pull
enough Republicans, and and uh they they they pulled for
likely voters. The president's hovering in a mid to upper
(58:28):
forties range of job approval. If he could get that
over fifty, if he can expand that over fifty, he
will bring the Republicans in Congress up because their job
apro of that February ninth survey that we had on
McLaughlin online dot com. While he was a forty six
approve fifty two disapproved. The Republican majority in Congress was
(58:49):
only thirty seven approved and fifty eight disapproved. So the
problem is the president has to bring them over the
finish line, and he has to do with the policies
you're talking in that he's really he's really a very
successful UH policy president where certainly there's a lot of
drama and there's a lot of ups and downs in
terms of UH you know, as you as you mentioned
(59:12):
going after North Korea, etcetera. But it's all about his
personality where he is able to strengthen his position through
the growth. I also think that people now did not
did not get the shock value of a controversial tweet
has gone away and people are now looking for results.
They elected a disruptor, they've got a disruptor, and things
are getting better because of that disruptor. So I think
(59:34):
all the noise that you hear from the media that
hates him, I think is is just not going to
be that meaningful. Right as we continue the poster, John
McLaughlin and Doug shown are with us. What is the
Democratic Party right now stand for? Except that they hate
Donald Trump? Can you answer that, Doug Show? Yeah, I can't.
Radical REGI distribution of wealth and power in American Okay,
what do they stand for in terms of policies that
(59:56):
the American people? You ask any person on the street.
I go out with a mic her phone and I say, Okay,
what does the Democratic Party represent? What do they stand for?
Do you think anybody will have an idea except that
they'll say, oh, they hate Donald Trump, they hate Donald Trump,
and they want to soak the rich. Okay. But that's
not even true either, is it? Because the average American
got a significant two to four thousand dollar tax decrease
(01:00:18):
under the President Republican's tax plan. But that's not what's
the U s. It's the Democrats stand for. They want
to raise taxes on the people who got a tax break. Okay,
and then we'll go back to the same horrible We'll
go back to the same horrible economy that Obama gave us.
Uh in May Well, But I'm not that kind of Democrat.
(01:00:40):
I am somebody who believes in low taxes, who believes
in balanced budgets, who believes in tough policies on crime
and welfare reform, and I very aggressive foreign policy. I'm
a lonely man, but that's what i think. And it's
different from what the Democrats said. Yeah, I hear you.
Uh uh. If you're a Republican, how do you can
(01:01:00):
pain this year campaign? On contrast, You're absolutely exposed because
you left out some things. With the Democrats. They stand
for open borders, they stand for weakert national security, they
stand for appeasing our our our enemies in the world
and and the weaker America. But but so the Republicans
have to stand on a contrast on on substantive issues,
(01:01:21):
and they have to basically say, okay, you really agree
with us on the on the majority of issues. And
by the way, uh, I grew up in New York
and I've worked all over the country and mostly blue states.
I end up in these elections or in these purple
states where it takes a lot of Democrats like Doug
shown to elect The Republicans I work for and they
(01:01:41):
always and they agree with us on issues, whether it's
whether it's securing Israel. I mean, what's amazing is this
Democratic party there with throw Israel under the bus. And
it used to be a bipartisan issue. Now it's now
it's like now it's something where has become a political
football after Barack Obama, where uh in effective things that
we used to stand for, the values that we would
(01:02:01):
hold dear strong America, being strong with our allies, protecting
jobs in America, having you know, you know, low low
tans on working class Americans. Um, you know the Democrat
Party has rejected it, and and and we have to
draw that contrast. If we don't, I've got to lose.
I got a break here. We'll be talking often throughout
(01:02:22):
this election year. Always appreciate you being on. Doug Shown
and John McLaughlin. When we come back, News Round Up
and Information Overload, our Dan Bongino, Lieutenant Colonel Buzz Patterson,
we're gonna talk about the President's North Korean deal and
much more straight ahead. I wouldn't negotiate like crazy, and
I'd make sure that we tried to get the best
deal possible. Look to him, if a man walks up
(01:02:44):
to you in the street in Washington, because this doesn't
happen of course in New York, but if a man
walks up and puts a gun to you ahead and says,
giving your money, wouldn't you rather know where he's coming
from before he had the gun in his hand? And
these people in three or four years are going to
be having nuclear weapons. They're gonna have those weapons pointed
all over the world and specifically at the United States,
And wouldn't you be better off solving this really potentially
(01:03:05):
unbelievable And the biggest problem. I mean, we can talk
about the economy, and we can talk about social security.
The biggest problem this world has is nuclear proliferation. And
we have a country out there in North Korea which
is sort of wacko, which is not a dumb not
a bunch of dummies, and they are going out and
they are developing nuclear weapons. And they're not doing it
because they're having fun doing it. They're doing it for
(01:03:26):
a reason. And wouldn't it be good to sit down
and really negotiate something and ideally negotiation now. If that
negotiation doesn't work, you better solve the problem now, then
solve it later. Tim, and you know it, and every
politician knows it, and nobody wants to talk about it.
Jimmy Carter, who I really like, and he went over there,
it was so soft. These people are laughing at us.
The former General of the Air Force, Meryl mcpeaque, the
(01:03:48):
former Secretary Defense Less Aspen said you could not launch
a preemptive strike against North Korea because the nuclear fallout
could be devastating to the Asian Peninsula. I'm not talking
about I'm not about us using nuclear weapons. I'm saying
that they have areas where they're developing missiles. So taking
out there. You know that this country they followed him.
Do you know that this country went out and gave
(01:04:10):
them nuclear reactors free fuel for ten years. We we
virtually tried to bribe them into stopping, and they're continuing
to do what they're doing, and they're laughing at us.
They think we're a bunch of dummies. I'm saying that
we have to do something to stop. But the voluntary
told you, Mr Trump, we can't give me two names.
You're giving me two names. I don't know. Do you
want to do it in five years when they have
warheads all over the place, every one of them pointing
(01:04:32):
to New York City to Washington and every one of
our is that when you want to do it? Or
do you want to do something? Now? You better do
it now. And if they think you're serious, I deal
with lots of people. If they think you're serious, they'll
negotiate and it will never come to that. All right.
So that's Donald Trump in nine an interview that he
had given about North Korea's nuclear program, fascinating that it's
(01:04:53):
resurfaced amid the Trump administration's heightened tensions with Pyong Yang.
And anyway, it was on Meet the Press, and there's
try before any discussion sixteen years later that he's gonna
be running for president, arguing that the United States must
stop North Korea sooner rather than later, saying, first, I'd
negotiate like crazy, and I'd make sure that we tried
to get the best deal possible. He said, Now, if
(01:05:15):
negotiation doesn't work, well, you better solve the problem now
than solve it later. Tim And you know it. Every
politician knows it, and nobody wants to talk about it. Unbelievable.
Now with President Trump, everyone thought, oh, little rocket man
is is going to create a world war. But this
is the same predictable answer that you get from liberals
(01:05:35):
every time that that the United States, as strong as
we are with the military, might we have for whatever
reason there is a compulsion on the left that they've
got to get on on bended knee and bow and
kiss the ring and the backsides of murdering dictators. And
their only answer is if, well, if we bribe them
with American tax dollars and maybe they'll like us a
(01:05:57):
little bit more. Well, that policy of a easment never
has worked and it never will work. Bill Clinton gave
Kim Jong Ill, who was Kim Jong UN's father, over
three billion dollars in in subsidies and energy, just the
same as Barack Obama gives a hundred and fifty billion
dollars and other currencies, flies it into Tehran to give
(01:06:19):
it to the Mueller's that are chanting death to America,
death to Israel, and burning the American flag in the
Israeli flag. The policies of appeasement only incur further aggression.
They haven't been a lot nicer since they've gotten all
that money. Anyway, News round up Information Overload our Sean
Hannity Show. Dan Voino is with US former Secret Service
agent n r a TV contributor, hosted The dam Bongino Show,
(01:06:42):
and Lieutenant Colonel Buzz Patterson. You may remember he carried
the nuclear football under President Clinton, author of dereliction of duty,
and I witness account of how Bill Clinton compromised America's
national security. You know, buzz as I Um, I said,
I should say, colonel, I just know you so well.
But colonel, you know I'm member Bill Clinton. I this
is a good deal for the American people. When he
(01:07:04):
tried to bribe Kim Jong UN's father, definitely, I was
there the year after that, and he began this whole
process Shawn of kicking the can down the road. And
here we are twenty four years later, Um, the eleventh hour,
this is, this is, this stuff is happening, and we're
we're this close now to that guy having the ability
to hit American shore's, American cities with nuclear weapons. And
(01:07:26):
I'm very I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I hope the
stars a line, but I don't see it happening. I
don't see uh. You know, I think he's messing around
with with the wrong guy. I think if you're gonna
he's find to play us. I think plan Donald Trump's
could be a big mistake. And I hope we follow
through on that. But uh, I would also say I
hope that we pressed them to do this immediately, not
let Kim buy a couple of months here, because he's
(01:07:48):
right there. If we let him pushes across the finish line,
we're in big trouble, you know, Dan Bongino, everybody was surprised.
You know, there was a lot of talk the President
gave his announcement about the tariff deal yesterday. The most
important words that nobody paid attention to, oh, Mexico and
Canada exempt, and any other country can can negotiate an exemption.
And it's a part of the Trump personality that the
(01:08:09):
media has never figured out because they're so obsessed with
their hatred of him. And what Trump was really doing
there is signaling. But I don't want to trade war either,
But you can negotiate new trade deals that have to
be fairer and help the United States more. That's all
he was doing. And he said, but he's doing it
by showing action. But at any point anybody can negotiate
a better deal. Is not going to be a trade war.
(01:08:30):
And just by calling little rocket Man, look, he got
everything he wants. The guy's not just talking about not
firing missiles in the interim. He's talking about de nuclearization,
and he's talking about literally making the world a safer place.
But meanwhile, sanctions continue, Meanwhile, our military exercises continue, and
it's Kim Jong un now who has his hands tied, yes,
(01:08:52):
sehn And and you know, the additional danger here is
not just the North Korean's having nuclear weapons. You know,
we have to the audiences to remember the North Koreans
are getting desperate, They are broke, They are quite literally
starving to death as a people. Not the short, fat guy,
of course, but everyone else around him is the real
danger here. Shown in addition to the North Korea is
(01:09:13):
kind of a proliferation cascade here where the North Koreans
take their technology and we've already seen some evidence around
the world around about this and give that nuclear technology
and trade it for hard cash and other items the
hostile actors that want to attack us as well. Um.
You know, I'm not a fan of tariffs and never
have been. I spoke out against me on my show,
(01:09:34):
but i have to agree with you here, and I'm
willing to eat a little crow. Um. If this was
a negotiating tactic to bring the North Koreans to their knees, Um,
then I have to tell you then that tariff would
be certainly worth it to get the nukes out of
their hands. It would be a phenomenal you know, to
de nuclearize the entire region would be amazing. Now. One
(01:09:55):
of the reasons and one of the factors I think
that happened, and this is behind the scenes. There residents
great relationship with the president of China, and that was
under reporter when when the when the Chinese president came
to the United States, there were multiple meetings that were
scheduled for ten fifteen minutes that went on over two hours. Why,
I asked the president, I asked, I said, how did
(01:10:16):
the meetings go? And he said, we hit it off phenomenally. Now,
when you could establish a rapport and a relationship, and
they are the power in the geopolitical power in that
part of the world, and they have great impact on
the Chinese on the North Korean economy, and they have
been a part of our effort, not completely, but they
(01:10:36):
have been contributing to the slow down of the economy
in North Korea. Well, that's just bringing peace to the
region and that makes the world a better, safer place.
I guess nobody thought Donald Trump was going to be
the guy to do it because Donald Trump took a
stand and he wasn't offering billions of dollars in bribes.
And I think this is brilliant if you think about
(01:10:56):
what could possibly happen here the way Donald Trump, the
art of the deal right the way he's playing this
right now is uh is almost where it is. Reagan
ask cashly if he if he makes this thing happen, Uh,
it'll be like the iron curtain fallowing you coming down
in the Berlin Wall. It will be um amazing accomplishment.
I think, you know, it should be a Nobel Peace
(01:11:17):
Prize accoplishment if it goes through. Of course he won't
go um, but you know he's playing. He's playing everybody
like a fool. And I think that he's got this
guy cornered. I think he's got China cornered with the
tariffish you. And I think he sees things so far
down the road that the rest of us, uh, most
most media types don't see. So he's he's well well
(01:11:37):
ahead of this right now, in this whole thing. And
again I say to him into into uh, you know,
to North Koreans, if you guys want to kind of deal.
Let's do it now. Let's not wait until June July,
when you guys have had three or four more months
to finish up your operation and have deployable nukes. Yeah.
You know, at this particular point, I also don't want
to people's expectations to get wildly crazy and out of whack.
(01:12:00):
I think what we have here at sanctions are working.
I think the North Korean dictator has come up against
the wall that he knows that if he continues to
fire missiles there will be military retaliation that would be
devastating for the region and especially his own country. From
my perspective, he's one or two missiles away from having
that missile either shot out of the air or taken
(01:12:21):
off the pad. Damn Bongino. Yeah, Sean, and think about it.
You know, this is what really gets under my skin.
The foreign policy establishment. Listen, you and I have had
to deal with this forever. You a lot longer than me.
But you know, the flag ray eating cloud crowd, the
boat I wears you know what I'm talking about. The
DC snob, the foreign policy establishment of all the DC
(01:12:42):
snobs are the snobs of the snobs. They will talk
down to you in a minute, just follow them on Twitter.
They they think Donald Trump is the biggest idiot out there,
and yet he's had this incredible breakthrough. I agree, everybody
should move with understandable caution. The North Koreans have lied
to us before, but maybe, just maybe Sean the the
(01:13:05):
bow tie wears and d C. The foreign policy snobs
should take a look in the mirror and say, hey,
maybe we've been wrong. Maybe this guy's air quotes, your
unpredictability is some kind of a strategic asset. What I
don't get is how the same foreign policy snobs say
Kim is dangerous and we should treat him with kid
gloves because he's unpredictable, and yet when Trump on the
(01:13:26):
foreign stage shows some unpredictability as well that benefits us,
all of a sudden they want to throw him under
the bus. I mean, which one is it? Which one
is more strategically efficient? Ye, it's true. And then historically,
you've got to look at all of this through a
historical prism. I mean, the classic example of appeasement is
Neville Chamberlain and Peace in Our Time and Winston Churchill
(01:13:48):
understanding the reality and the evil of of Adolf Hitler
and Nazism long before others were willing to see the
evil that was in their midst. And it turned out
that Churchill was right and there was no peace in
our time. And similarly, there's been a belief here in
America with Bill Clinton first telling the American people that
they got such a good deal. That of course resulted
(01:14:10):
in billions of dollars and energy subsidies being sent to
North Korea while they still developed nukes and they're continuing
them missile production, even as we see speak threatening that
they're gonna, you know, hit the continental United States. And
then that goes to the the dumbest deal of all time,
which is the Iranian deal with Obama. You know, Buzz Patterson,
(01:14:30):
if you give Iranian Mueller's chanting death to America a
hundred and fifty billion dollars, are they gonna like us anymore?
Just have contempt for us, uh contempt in in lack
of respect. And I think that was treason talking about
that deal with Iran. I want to jump back to
when A Dan's earlier points. You know, if if Northrea
does actually have his capability and we let them continue
(01:14:51):
to develop, Dan's right, this is gonna spread to Iran
and a heart beat. If it hasn't already, by the way,
it's gonna be. Other countries are gonna be selling it
off for it because they need food and power, they
need they need uh An infrastructure. So they're gonna be
barketing this stuff on, you know, all around the world.
So dance exactly right. This is not just about that peninsula.
This is about the world. Take a quick break, we'll
(01:15:11):
come back and we'll continue. Dan Bungino, Lieutenant Colonel Buzz Patterson,
final half hour of the program today, straight to your calls.
All right, as we continue, Dan Bungino, former Secret Service agent.
Lieutenant Colonel Buzz Patterson is with us, author of the
best selling book Dereliction of Duty, and I witnessed account
of how Bill and Hillary Bill Clinton compromised America's national security. Um,
(01:15:32):
I know you talk about it in the sense of
other ways, but North Korea was probably the one of
the worst things he ever did in terms of geopolitical
mistakes that any president has made. Would you agree with that,
Buzz Patterson? Oh, yes, sir, I would John. I Actually,
I think there were two things that Quittant did under
my time there. The first was allowing the Korea to
(01:15:53):
get this thing started. The second was actually in the
re election campaign of nine when I was there with him,
that he uh soul technology, satellite and missile technology to
the Chinese for for campaign donations. So there are a
couple of things That's why I wrote the book. There
are a couple of things that uh that Clinton did
that really set the stage for where we are today.
(01:16:16):
He really kind of uh set a tone for the
US military national security abroad that we were going to
be more of an appeasing uh country. We were gonna
be doing it for personal gain in terms of his
his career and his his presidency. And it's uh, he
began the downfall of our military or security to where
(01:16:37):
we are today. Unfortunately, today we have Donald Trump in
the presidency and he's also now understands what it means
to have a strong military to peace with strength to
quote Reagan again, and uh, thank god, because I can't
imagine where we be today, Seawan, we had Hillary equiptment
in the in the chair now Colin Showson, North Korea.
(01:16:57):
You know, Sean, what the it cracks me up in
this Not not to get off car target here, but
you know, that you mentioned before appeasement, and Chamberlain, this
is not appeasement. Okay, Chamberlain inceeded to dat Land, Okay,
a strategic component Czechoslovakia needed. The Munich Agreement was a
disaster because we gave something up. Let's be clear on this.
(01:17:21):
Trump is not giving anything up yet. But I find
it awfully ironic at the same media try and already
slam them with an appeasement kind of label, and as
an appeaser, seemed to have no problem at all with
pallettes literally sewn palettes of cash given to Iranian that
screams it sounds funny. I'm not lefting, but you're right,
(01:17:42):
you can't. It's like a tragic comedy like the media
just can't get out of the wrong way. But I
will applaud I saw your tweet last night. I will
applaud uh Aaron Burnett at CNN. I never thought i'd
say those words for finally admitting something. Yes, so she said,
if he manages to pull this off, he's gonna be
a great president. Almost dropped dead when I heard that. Unbelievable.
(01:18:03):
All right, you guys have been phenomenal, alright, one Shawn
told free telephone number. You want to be a part
of the program. Alright, Happy Friday to everybody. Let's get
to the phones. Let's say Hi, John is in Homestead
in Florida. What's up, John? How are you? Happy Friday?
Glad you're with us, Shaw and happy Friday to you.
Greetings and felicitations from sunny South Florida. Sunny South Florida.
(01:18:24):
You and Rush and all the smart people lived down there.
All of us dummies live up here in New York.
Well not for long because, uh, my girlfriend and I
really can't stand it down here. It's like living in
another country. But anyway, well, why well, slow out. Why
don't you like Florida? What what's not to like about Florida? Well,
South Florida. Um, we live just south of Miami. It's
(01:18:45):
a very um, it's a very impersonal uh society. It's uh,
it's fraught with a lot of rude people. Uh. Driving
in traffic down here is an absolute nightmare. And needless
to say, my girlfriend and I, after three years of
being here, are going to move back to the Midwest
where there's a little bit more sensibility and responsibility for oneself.
(01:19:05):
So that being said, I want to bring a little
bit of sandy. I appreciate you bringing sanity to my
everyday life. Bring a little bit of sanity. I want
to bring a little bit of sanity to you. When
it comes to this Harley Davidson discussion, it doesn't seem
to be much of a discussion. It's not one that
I'm winning. It's not one that that goes over well
with anybody in my family. Uh you know what. The
(01:19:27):
last words I heard was, go, you want to buy
yourself a donor cycle? Well, all right, all right, I
get the point I make your pitch. You do have
to be careful for other people on the road. When
you pull up next to somebody that you see somebody texting,
you make a moll down your window, their window, and
you say, hey, I don't want to die today, so
put your phone down. You know, you can't control what
other people do. It doesn't matter if you're in a car,
(01:19:49):
and it doesn't matter if you know you're on a motorcycle.
You know it is scary. Um, Look I have in
my life. I'm not gonna lie. I have texted, and
I have while I was driving, But I'm gonna tell
you I cut it out because if you take your Actually,
I just I see it is so dangerous that it's
(01:20:09):
just you can't do it. I never do it now.
I literally put my phone on mute and I put
it away from me, so I don't even know if
anyone's texting or calling or anything. I don't want to know.
I don't plug it into my my car, which I
could do, and you know, then then I'm still distracted.
I don't want to be that distracted. You know, when
I get in a car, I put on one channel.
I leave it on one channel. I'm either listening to
(01:20:32):
you know why too country or Howard Stern or or
talk radio that's it, or news, and that's all I
listened to. And so I picked one, two, three four
in there. I don't have to do is press a
button and that changes it and that's it. So that's
about that. I think this is actually a very good,
you know, token in the cap of why you should
get Harley, because there's no way on God's green earth
(01:20:53):
you can text and right Harley. No. But I know
when I say gave up, I gave it up years
and years ago. I won't do it. It is too dangerous.
Have you ever done I'm doing is. I'm making the
argument for you to get the Harley. Like, listen, I'll
be safer. I'll be safer, I'll Harley. At the end
of the day, I have to decide if I'm willing
(01:21:13):
to accept what's coming my way if I get it,
you know, and I don't. Oh please, you're gonna write
a Sunday Cruiser like Grandpa, you'll be doing. I don't
want the biggest Harley they may. I just want the
Harley that's the only one I want. I know the
exact bike I want. I know the exact look I want.
I know the exact features I want, and I know
everything because I've looked at them for years. Just riding
(01:21:36):
circles in the park A lot, very very safe. I
think I get bored doing that, all right, But thank
you for the thank you for the assist I do
appreciate it. Uh, thank you. Let's get back to our phones.
Jonah is in uh Sacramento, California. Well, there's a land
of corruption. How are you glad you called? I am great.
(01:21:56):
I love you, Sean. I love that you're not biased
and you put the chew that there. Thank Wow. I'm
feeling really good about myself. Now, thank you very much.
I appreciate it your movie and I stood up in
a movie theater and cry, oh, thank you. By the way,
I have good news on that the movie is now
(01:22:17):
on DVD. Finally, I know, and every night I know,
and I don't want y'all recalling it. Listen, it's on
demand if you want to buy it at home, it's
like on Dish TV and stuff like that. You can
get it at Walmart and and all the those types
of stores. They have them available. And it's called let
There Be Light Night. For those that haven't seen it. Um,
(01:22:41):
it did so well beyond our wildest expectations, and I'm
very proud of it. And it has a message. Your
whole family can watch it. And it's very entertaining, fast moving.
You'll never predict the outcome that. I really enjoyed it.
But I got a question. Did you cry at the end?
I it. I cried at the end. Yeah. Most people
(01:23:02):
don't cry, Yeah, most people do. It really was an
awesome Christian movie, and they don't. They don't make enough
of them nowadays. And by the way, and it doesn't
hit you over the head with it. It's not like
it's not that kind of movie. It's a movie that
makes you think. You know, I wanted to make a
movie that impacted your heart, your that would stimulate your mind.
(01:23:23):
That would be very modern day, contemporary, realistic scenario. And
I think we accomplished that. And I think it has
a good message. You truly did you? You know you alright?
Thank you. I don't want to say one thing before
you let me go. I do not trust Jeff Fashion.
Sure he's a good man, but he cannot be alone
(01:23:44):
by himself, still being around that justice system, Rosenstein and
all of them sitting up having dinner with him and
after talleent shape this, before that, he's not gonna put
a special counsel. And I do on the kidding side,
they need to take a lie to take the tests
whoever get because to see if they hate Trump not.
(01:24:05):
Let me tell you something. You know, I hear what
you say. Look, their news in this country is corrupt.
I you know, things were a little slow the last
couple of weeks. Everything is about to accelerate. When we
learned yesterday that in fact, the FBI is investigating the
Clinton Foundation. When we see that Jeff Session did make
an appointment, and we know the I g report after
(01:24:29):
fourteen months is coming. There's about to be and there
will be such vindication for this show and those people
that have partnered with us doing the hard leg work,
investigated work, like Sarah Carter and Greg Jared and John
Solomon and Victoria Tunsing and Jay Seculo. It is going
(01:24:49):
to be the biggest we were right, you were wrong
You've ever seen in your life, and I am. I'm
proud of what we've done. It's taken a year, but
in the next week, two weeks, there's gonna be massive developments.
Just sit tight and when you hear this stuff to say, wow,
I think I heard Hannity talking about that in the
last year at some point, because it's true. We've not
(01:25:11):
been wrong yet now if not longer. But I say you,
when I even turned to just see what CNN is
talking about, it just makes my stomach just not up.
Because they have went all the way down here and
they paid people to be on to receive their news.
They paid file they garbage out in the airport and
everywhere they paid, They paid a train. But listen, they
(01:25:32):
have some really good reporters. They sent that reporter all
the way to Thailand to meet this Sex coach Hooker
inside a prison because she was gonna break wide open
the Trump Russia collusion case. And then they said another
reporter to St. Petersburg, Russia, so that he could do
some dumpster diving in the hopes that that's gonna break
over the broke break open the Trump Russia collusion thing.
(01:25:53):
And they're really working hard over there to spread their
lives and pull up their disinformation. It's unbelievable. Anyway, I
gotta roll, Joan, you have a great weekend. Appreciate you
calling back to our busy phones. Timothy is in Utah. Timothy,
how are you? I'm doing Welsh, hon, How about yourself?
I'm good, sir, I thank you for having me. Um.
The Utah's Republicans are not supporting h liberal governor Massachusetts
(01:26:20):
Mitt Romney. Um, he was a I don't see any
scenario where Mitt Romney does not win that election. I
just don't. And you're absolutely correct as always. Um. Here
there's two ways of getting the primaries. There's the good
old fashioned Republicanism with the neighborhood caucuses on the twentieth
(01:26:40):
of March, and then there's an option for those who
have deep resources like Mitt Romney and they can go
ahead and do the signature route. And right now, through
his recognition program, he's offering a picture for those who
gathers twenty signatures and you need two thousand signatures or
(01:27:01):
I'm just gonna tell you right now, he's gonna win
the race. There's something that happens to people when they
lose elections. Hillary that she went off the deep end.
Al Gore off the deep end. John McCain went off
the deep end. And you know, I just can tell
you that I don't know what happens to people now.
With that said, Mitt Romney made a lot of predictions
about Donald Trump before the election, and I think he's
(01:27:22):
an honest guy. I always liked Mitt Romney personally. I
liked him a lot. I think he could have been
a little stronger candidate. He chose to do it his way,
and you know, he didn't win. Um My guess is
he'll govern the way that he ran in his presidential election,
which is I think he'll stand by those principles. If
he doesn't, that would be sad for the people of Utah.
(01:27:42):
And uh, you know, I thought that he and the
president put there let bygones be bygones will find out
alright well. Following a number of breaking news stories tonight
and follow up to the North Korean dictator now basically
capitulating to Donald Trump, a show hakker and media reaction,
we have also in the Iranian one case Victoria tunsing
(01:28:04):
while she now points out that in fact her informant
client has been interviewed by the Arkansas FBI about the
Clinton Foundation, and it appears Jeff Sessions is about to
announce a special counsel nine Eastern Hannity tonight, Have a
great weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday.
