Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, news round up in information ob load hour.

(00:02):
Here's our toll free telephone number at eight hundred and
nine foot one, Shawn, if you want to be a
part of the program. If you are not following the
news today, it turns out mister Higher Honor James Colly
himself turned himself into a federal authorities at an Alexandria,
Virginia courthouse today. The grand jury indictment revealed on Tuesday

(00:25):
charges call me with threatening to kill President Trump. That's
the eighty six forty seven shell thing. I have no
idea what it meant, none at all, whatsoever. Now James
call me, maintaining his innocence after the second indictment, here's
what he had to say.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Well, they're back, this time about a picture of seashells
on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this
won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed
with me. I'm still innocent, I'm still not afraid, and
I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.
But it's really important that all of us remember this

(01:03):
is not who we are as a country, This is
not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be,
and the good news is we get closer every day
to restoring those values. Keep the faith.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Anyway, so, now indicted presidential death threat suspect James Colemy
decided not to wait till his squad cards showed up
at his house this morning and haul him down to
police headquarters.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
I spent a couple of hours with John Solomon and
Greg Jarrett on my podcast, Hanging Out with Me Sean Hannity.
You can watch it wherever you get your video podcast,
and it's on YouTube and Spotify and Apple. You know,
I would urge you all to watch it because it
really is the culmination of years of work that we
all did together. We did it collaboratively, We worked very

(01:50):
hard at it, and we were able to get to
the bottom of it. The left wing legacy media mob
was wrong. We have been vindicated time and time again.
I look at this at the as the lower hanging
fruit when it comes to Camy, mister higher honor, and
I think, especially with my interview with Dan Bongino and

(02:11):
what they have found, I think that this Grand Conspiracy
investigation is going to be the mother load that may
implicate a lot more people. Bongino told me that he
really felt that there were people in the FBI the
purposely preserved evidence, knowing and hoping that one day when

(02:33):
he and Cash Pttel got in the FBI, that they
would find it. They did find it, and that's where
you know. Dan famously said he didn't think a Republican
survive under these circumstances. But I think that that is
the case that I'm paying the most attention to. However,
this is significant anyway. Joining us now, John Solomon. He

(02:53):
is the founder, editor in chief, chief investigative reporter justinews
dot com, Greg Jarrett, Fox News, legal analyst, and of
course number one New York Times bestselling author. John, let's
start with you. I think you agree with me. This
is the lower hanging fruit. I think, yeah, I think
the big investigation is into the Grand Conspiracy.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah, you're exactly right. This is sort of a side issue,
but one that takes on more significance when you remember
what just happens Saturday night. People are getting motivated by
these social media posts. They are getting motivated by the
hateful rhetoric. And so if an FBI director or a
former FBI director wants to suggest it's a good idea
to eighty six forty seven, get rid of forty seven,

(03:35):
and that might motivate someone. You're going to charge him
just like you charge anyone else. If a guy in
Las Vegas said, Hey, I'm going to kill the lawmaker tomorrow,
they're going to go arrest him too. So that's what
went on here. This is a minor case compared to
what's playing out in Port Pierce, Florida. They are systemically
looking at an effort to get Donald Trump violate his
civil liberties over a ten year period, using four or

(03:56):
five code name investigations, and along the way, not only
violating President Trump's simil liberties and those around them, but
very likely members of Congress whose phone records were taken,
lawyers whose law firm records were taken. Us keep in
mind that they use secret measures to suck up entire
law firm files as they were looking at certain lawyers

(04:18):
in these cases. That is going to be such a big,
inconsequential place, far more consequential than what went on in
North Carolina yesterday.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
And John, if you can explain how arctic frost is
only the tip of the iceberg, that there are multiple
investigations with multiple names, that they also now have discovered,
and we will learn a lot more in the days,
weeks and months ahead about these examples.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, Basically, there's a Washprin's repeat cycle of weaponizing law enforcement,
and each time a Democrat has a problem, they then
hang a fake scandal on a Republican and the youth
of powers of the intelligence in law enforcement commute to
try to give the illusion that this is a serious matter.
Hillary Clinton has the Russia collusion problem after the Peter

(05:05):
Schweizer book, they make the Crossfire Hurricane investigation against Trump.
We know that had no merit. Then Joe Biden has
a Ukraine corruption problem with his son Hunter, and they
hang Ukraine impeachment around him. A little bit while after that,
they find Joe Biden's classified documents right after he got
named president. They want to neutralize that. They create the

(05:28):
investigation against President Trump that leads to the raid on
mar A Lago, for which, now that we know, the
FBI believe there was no probable cause to do that.
And then as it's becoming clear in twenty three that
Joe Biden has a mental acuity problem that he's fading away,
they need to put Donald Trump back on the defensive
because he's doing well on the polls. They use Arctic Cross,
which basically goes all the way back to twenty twenty

(05:50):
and says we're going to look at that period after
the election and charge Donald Trump with something that John
Kennedy and Sam Tilden did and never got charged, which
is submit alternate electors to a Senate as a former protest.
Twice in American history that wasn't a crime, but when
it came to Donald Trump, they tried to turn it
into a crime. Four consecutive Washerton's repeat cycles all along,

(06:13):
capturing hundreds of people into a dragnet who were clearly innocent.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Let's get your take, Greg Jarrett. Let's start with eighty
six forty seven. According to Komy, he had no idea
what that meant. He had no idea. It just happened
to stumble upon it.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
Yeah, he said, gosh, it never occurred to me that
some folks associate those numbers with violence. I mean, that
kind of fakery is a pattern with James Cummy. He
feigns ignorance, he plays the dummy to try to weasel
out of wrongdoing, and he's proven to be a master

(06:49):
of deceit, lying about leaks to the media line of
the Pies Accords, secretly weaponizing the FBI and the Russia hoax,
while denying it all with a straight were. Under testimony
before Congress, he claims, acute, am Nigi, I don't remember anything.
It's all a phony act.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
You know.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
Komy loves to portray himself as Saint James, but there's
nothing virtuous about Komy. I will say this. I've been
mildly amused at all the legal commentators who've been quick
to condemn the Komy indictment as frivolous or absurd. They're
overlooking several important points, and if I may, I'll just

(07:32):
run through them quickly. This case, first of all, is
in the Eastern district of North Carolina, predominantly conservative, and
in a politically charge case like this, that helps the prosecution,
it doesn't help Komy. Second of all, the federal grand
jury was persuaded that Komy wilfully intended to threaten the
life of the president, while the trial jury from the

(07:56):
exact same district may agree, even though of course there's
a higher burden of proof. Third, it's important to realize
that the second count against Komy does not require a
willful threat instead recklessly disregarding the risk of violence is sufficient.

(08:17):
As a lower standard, it's easier to prove for the all.
You know, other people in that same eastern district in
North Carolina have been successfully prosecuted on the exact same charge,
which will undermine Comy's claim that g I'm a victim
of selective, vindictive prosecution. And finally, I point out, you know,

(08:41):
Comy is surely going to argue I have a free
speech right, that's my defense. Well, the Supreme Court has
made it abundantly clear that the First Amendment is not
a shield for threats against the president the Seminole case
Watts versus the United States in nineteen sixty nine.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
So you know, I.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Also suspect that prosecutors have marshalled together a lot more
incriminating evidence than we now know. The attorney acting Attorney
General said yesterday, we have witnesses, we have documents that
will help prove the government's case. Well, it's quite quite
possible Dy've uncovered evidence that Comy's doobious story is a

(09:29):
brazen lie. Will wait and see.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
You know, this is the low hanging fruit John Solomon
that I often talk about. But there is being built
as confirmed by the Attorney General still Pam Bondi, confirmed
by Todd Blenz, confirmed by the FBI Director Cash Bettel,
new evidence put forward by Tulca Gabbert at D and
I that in fact, a grand conspiracy investigation is not

(09:57):
only going ongoing, but it is being built out. How
do you imagine that that will play out?

Speaker 4 (10:05):
I think the first likely charges if a grand jury
decides to do something, we'll be to charge John Brennan
in the next few weeks, once the Senate transmits its evidence,
so that you begin to and grand jury begins to
understand there was a cover up as far late as
twenty twenty three. People were lying in twenty twenty three,

(10:25):
trying to cover up what began in twenty sixteen. That is,
I think the starter gun firing for a larger conspiracy case.
All right, there's a lie. That lie is trying to
cover up the fact that the intelligence community committed created
a fake intelligence document to justify the fact that the
FBI previously tried to investigate Donald Trump wrongly for Russian collusions.

(10:49):
So that sort of becomes a what we call the
pattern case. And then from that pattern case, you're going
to start to look for people like FBI agents or
CIA analysts who did things that exceeded the role of
their job, that exceeded the evidence, exceeded their training, and say,
these guys were part of it too, different part of
the conspiracy. And at some point you're going to flip someone,

(11:11):
because when you look at all the great conspiracies that
have been brought against the mob or against drug CARTELSI
you usually flip an insider Sammy the Bold in the
case of the famous Gambino trials. Whoever flips first, whoever
becomes that key critical witness he can help or she
He or she can help tie it up in a
very big way. And I think that, well, who might.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
That person be? Is it going to be like an
Andrew Weisman? Who's it going to be?

Speaker 4 (11:34):
It's a great question, right, we don't know yet. You know,
who's going to take a deal, who's funding their law fers.
You know, maybe the Left will pay a lot of
people's legal bills and try to keep people from cooperating.
So we'll see. But you know, someone like an Andrew
McKay would be a really interesting thing. Now I'm not
saying that Andrew k committed to crime yet. I don't
know the evidence against him, but he's a guy that
can testify upward on a James Comey and Chris Ray

(11:56):
and on Barack Obama because he had contacts with him,
And he can testify downward to the agents who didn't
think to Pete Struck's in the least of pages and
other So you're looking for someone that is like a
man in the middle or a woman in the middle,
that has visibility up and down. That sort of conspiracy
witness becomes really key to a good prosecution.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Greg Jared, I'll give you an opportunity explain how you
think this will play out in terms of the broader case,
the larger case, the more significant case of an eleven
year grand conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
Well, I think John has summarized it as he always
does with his reporting quite well. You post an important
question who might flip and implicate others, for example, like
John Brennan, who I think John's right is clearly the
next person of you indicted. There were people high up

(12:51):
in the CIA and in fact in other intelligence agencies
that Warren Brennett. You can't use this dossier by Christopher
Steele paid for by Hillary Clinton. There was a total
smear and a complete lie. It's phony. You can't use
it to try to implicate Trump and altering the intelligence

(13:14):
community assessment upon the orders of President of Barack Obomb.
You can't do it. Brennan did it anyway. He essentially
had one person compose it. And I would think that
that person who was the writer who penned this thing
would be somebody if I were a prosecutor, I'd be

(13:36):
looking at to flip along with some others who were
in on it against John Brennan. And once you get
people to begin to flip to save their own butts,
you know, then a snowball effect invariably happens. And so
you know, look, you've got a grand jury investigation going on,

(14:00):
and it's very intensive. Dan I Fort Pierce, Florida. You've
got some new blood there that took over recently that
are motivated to make sure that justice is done. So
we're going to see some action over the course of
the next few weeks.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
By the way, if you want a longer discussion on
this very topic, both John Solomon and Greg Jarrett came
on my podcast, and you know, we go over this
in great specificity in detail for nearly two hours NonStop
conversation about it, and you will learn a lot, I
promise you. John Solomon, Greg Jarrett, thank you both. Appreciate
both of you. Let's get to our busy phones. Eight

(14:41):
hundred ninety four one, Shawn our number, Janet in Utah.
Next on the Sean Hannity Show, Hi.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
Hey, hey, can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I can hear you? Can you hear me? The worst
words in the English language?

Speaker 6 (14:54):
Go ahead, Yes, I can.

Speaker 7 (14:56):
Hey.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
So it's in honor to speak with you. But what
I wanted to comment on is a gentleman saying wondering
why this last shooter wasn't dead and you wanted to
have him alive so that you could get information from him.
And I'm just kind of the opinion that there's this

(15:19):
flashooter and there's so many more people that have drink
drank the kool aid, and they aren't thinking for themselves anymore.
And I feel like there just needs to be a
consequence and tell there's consequences for people doing this, like
call me not knowing what the shells represented, That's that's

(15:39):
just ridiculous. And I want to know when the consequences
are going to happen.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Well, they may never happen to the extent that they should,
and I'm not going to I'm not going to give
you false hope. Too many of these people. Oh, they're
going to be in jail for the rest of their life.
They will never see another day free. And you know,
look at John Hinckley who shot Reagan. He's free as
a bird. So it frustrates me. In terms of dead

(16:08):
or alive, I'm perfectly fine if the guy ends up dead. However,
if you have the person alive, you do have an
opportunity to discover if there might be other people that
were aiding a betting, supporting and that were part of
a grander conspiracy. And in that sense, I would like

(16:28):
to know the answer to that so you can get
information you otherwise would not be able to get from
a dead person. But with that said, if the guy
ended up dead, I would not be sitting on this
program today, you know, shedding a tear. I promise you, right.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
But I think we can pretty much guarantee that there's
unfortunately many more like him every and there where.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Well, I think there's plenty of them, and I think
we're doing a very poor job in terms of creating
a safe perimeter for the president, his cabinet and and
high ranking government officials. And we're doing a poor job.
We're not sweeping, we're not securing, we're not holding areas.
In this case, the entire hotel should have been swept.
It was not. It was like it was not swept.

(17:12):
The area around Trump International, just like Butler was not
swept the way it should have been swept. And at
this point, how many more examples do we need before
we make the changes that are necessary?

Speaker 8 (17:25):
Hi? Zero zero, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
I appreciate the call, Janet, thank you. Let us say
hi to doctor George in my free state of Florida.
Doctor George, how are you? What kind of doctor are you?

Speaker 8 (17:41):
For longevity medicine? But in any case, mister Sean Hannity,
my wife and I hold you in such high esteem
because you very few bona fide professional journalists who's not
going to lose their professional journalism card because you've never
attended at one of those White House dinners through the years,

(18:05):
and any journalists who did participate in those events ought
to lose their professional journalism card.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Let me ask you a question, doctor, if you know
you have to go to an event, and there are
events all of us have to go to that we
really don't want to go to. It's not at the
top of our list of things we would choose to
do on a day off. Why would I want to
go in a room full of people most of whom

(18:35):
I don't particularly like that don't like me. What is
the point. I don't see any point to that.

Speaker 8 (18:43):
Well, the point is that professional journalists ought to not
casually cavort with the people whom they have to ask
probing questions off. And this is the problem we saw
when the Democrats were in power, when they get together
at that White House dinner and they joke around about

(19:05):
serious issues that affect our country. Journalists should not be
doing that if they want to maintain their ethics and
still be highly respected bona fide professional journalists. And the
very fact that you had the spine and the determination

(19:25):
knowing that that would challenge the ethics of any professional journalists.
We just admire you for your fortitude, for your patriotism,
and we just think the world of you. Thank you
for fighting the good fight. By the way, you have
the best screeners all calling shows.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
I appreciate that. George Thank you, doctor George. Thanks But look,
if people want to go, if that's fun for them,
then I guess we just have very different definitions of
what's fun. I think I would rather hang out at
a barbecue joint or a restaurant with friends and family.
And I think there's better use of my time than

(20:07):
hanging out with these DC you know, arrogant elitists that
hate the president. And you know they call it nerd
prom for a reason. Marty in North Carolina. Next on
the Sean Hannity Show, Marty, how are you, Sean?

Speaker 7 (20:22):
Thank you for taking my call. I saw you recently
by the way in Florida, and you were looking dapper,
and you were looking healthy. And I've been following you
all the way since you used to sit in for
Rush last century.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Wow, thank you.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
I'm listen.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Where did you see me in Florida? If I may
be so bold to.

Speaker 7 (20:42):
Ask, Well, it was a it was a rule site gathering,
and you found the only liberals in the room. Remember
he was on the camera crew.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know, I'm actually I've got liberal you know, I
have liberal detectors that are working twenty four to seven,
don't stop. I can usually spot them a mile away.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
It was fun.

Speaker 7 (21:04):
It was so fun and you were funny, So that
was that was great to be with you.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well, it was nice to meet you. And you should
move to my free state of Florida. Although I do
like North Carolina. I love the mountains of North Carolina.
I think it's great there.

Speaker 7 (21:18):
Actually, I'm from the mountains, and I might move to
the Free State of Florida if we can't get a
democratic if we can't get rid of this democratic governor
that we've got. But listen, the reason I called you
is because I got a question for you. You know,
ma'am selling real estate last century and the average prot
the average age of the first time home buyer when

(21:39):
I first started selling real estate was twenty seven, twenty
eight years old. The average age for somebody to buy
their first time home now is forty forty one.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
What happened?

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Look, a lot of things happen. Government has you know,
adopted waste, fraud, abuse, corruption, et cetera. You have governments
on the state level, federal level, they have been taking
more and more people's harder money. Donald Trump now seeking
to reverse that. I think, you know, as soon as
we get the Iran situation over I think you'll see

(22:14):
a dramatic move with the economy. I think interest rates
will come down. I think manufacturing will go up dramatically
because we have committed investments trillions of dollars worth. I
think high paying career jobs will come online once interest
rates go down. People that have been reluctant to sell
a home that they want to sell because they don't
want to give up the two three four percent thirty

(22:34):
year fixed strate mortgage, I think that'll get fixed. And
I think you'll see, you know, sale of pre existing homes,
a new home construction start the skyrocket. That's my hope. Yeah,
I absolutely hope that that will happen sooner than later.
I think I'll never forget when I bought my first
home and it was in Rosweld, Georgia, and I was
in my early thirties. Uh, and I paid I think

(22:56):
I don't know what did I pay for that home?
One hundred and twelve thousand dollars. Was the happiest guy
on earth. I felt like I'd made it, I know.

Speaker 7 (23:04):
But you know when this first started happening is when
Pelosi started selling young people on you can have some
kind of universal income, and you can go out there
and be an artist, and it's the lack of commitment.
We've got to sell home ownership. That's been the backbone
of the American family's economy for years, and I don't
want to see that change so anything.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I know. I know more people that are waiting for
interest rates to go down so that they can move
up to the next level of home that they want
to get into. But they're not willing to sacrifice a
low thirty year fixed rate mortgage to get there. So
that's an important part of the equation, and I think
it will happen sooner than later. Let's get this Iranian

(23:50):
conflict behind us, and I think things will change quickly.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
I do tell Slump to do anything that promotes tax
deductions on American home ownership and for the American family
we've got.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
The average American is getting over thirty five hundred dollars
in terms of their tax refund more than they were
getting under Joe Biden. That is a significant increase. People's
take home pay has gone up significantly again because of
the one big, beautiful bill and the largest tax cut
in history. So people are beginning to feel the benefit

(24:25):
of Trump's economic policies. However, I mean stopping Iran from
ever acquiring a nuclear weapon to kind of get in
the way of all of this and for a short
period of time until this is resolved. Unfortunately, it'll slow
down progress, but then it'll pick up right after three.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
But I feel the ground shaking. The Golden Age is coming,
and it always begins with America real estate.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
One hundred percent. And I urge every American if you can.
Once you get to the point you can afford your
own home, I urge you to get it. Most people
it is the biggest investment they have in their life.
And look, the value of property is not going to
go down in the end. Property values keep going up.
Look for property that is unique, Look for property that

(25:13):
is special. Look for property that you can improve. Don't
buy the nicest house on the street. Buy the one
that needs a little elbow grease, and you can invest
in yourself in your spare time, improve the property and
you'll make more money. Appreciate it. Marty, God bless you.
Eight hundred and nine four one Sean, if you want
to be a part of the program. Jeff and Oregon, Jeff,
how are you glad you called hi?

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Sean, Yeah, thanks for taking my call. I'm a long
time a listener since Comb's Day, and also I'm a
retired MD. My point only is a quick one. I
find it extraordinary that Cole Thomas was able to travel
across the country on a train. Trains have rules regulations.
You can't carry guns, you have to check them in,
and I think I ride trains all the time, and

(25:58):
I actually have a license, but I won't carry because
I'm afraid of getting caught and getting a selony. He
could have been caught if they had security at trains
like they have at planes. And the days now are
not safe for trains. God awful things can happen without security.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Listen. I think, probably, deep down in my heart, I
think you're one hundred percent right. I think the same
protocols we have in place for anybody to get on
an airplane should be institutionalized for trains and buses. I
think it would make travel more safe and secure. I
don't think it's a bad idea, but I hate the
idea of being further inconvenienced. I hate it they.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Had been blown up on a train also, or having
some If I had.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
A dollar for every time I was wanted in my life,
I'd be a very very wealthy man. And whatever you do,
don't ever travel with Sweet Baby James, and don't ever
travel with Linda because they're wearing signs on their forehead.
It's tattooed in saying wand me, you know, give me
extra security, you know, sweeps and to get some impatient

(27:00):
when they pull her out of the line, he gets
very impatient. Sweet Baby James is a lot nicer about it.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
I've had drunks that the police have pulled out who
are threatening, but that's the that's the worst I've ever had.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, it's just not fun. But you know, unfortunately, I
guess you know, it's the twenty fifth anniversary year of
nine to eleven. I guess you know, we can't go
back to where we were, and you can thank radical
Islamis for changing our way of life and now you know,
we don't even think about it anymore. And it's just
it's just unfortunate, it really is. I wish it wasn't

(27:35):
that way, but in this day and age, we have
to put safety first.
