Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's never a slow newsday, ever, ever, ever, eight hundred
and ninety four one. Sean, you want to be a
part of this extravaganza two hundred and forty two days.
You the people, we the people. You are the ultimate jury.
You will decide if you shock the world again. Love
the numbers that came out of Super Tuesday, the big
(00:22):
Untold story. As we have been telling you, We've got
a lot to get to today, including I gotta deal
with the issue of Corona, because I know some of
you are getting panicked. I see it, I can hear it.
Even friends of mine, conservatives are getting all panic worked up.
And not that you should not always be judicious and
(00:43):
cautious and smart and always always you know, if you
have to make it, you always go to the side
of caution, always be careful. But there's some perspective that
is really out of whack here. And I think that,
first of all, we're so lucky to have the greatest
world research medical researchers and scientists and doctors. I mean,
(01:04):
these people are phenomenal. We're so blessed. They have done
so much, made so much progress to prolonged life, to
save people from dying, from diseases they would have died of.
It was the death sentence years ago, and advancement with
treatment and heart procedures and transplants and everything else. They're
(01:26):
amazing people. We'll get to that perspective today. Also, whoa
Hillary Clinton will be deposed under oath. We have a
judge ordering that she must do that with Judicial Watch
and their Freedom of Information Act request. We'll check in
with Tom Fitton on the latest with that and Greg
Jarrett Senator Ron Johnson. I know they don't want it.
(01:46):
A lot of things liberals would like you to ignore
as it relates to Joe Biden, Joe Biden, his gaffs,
Joe Biden with no energy. Joe Biden doesn't seem to
have the strength, the stamina, the acumen, even the alertness
to be president, the toughest job in the world. They
like you never to talk about that. I think the
American people are talking about it, whether they like it
(02:08):
or not. It's not to be you. Oh look, Bernie
Sanders is a year older than Joe Biden. I'm just
trying to be fair here. Bernie Sanders doesn't have any
problem with stamina or strength, or alertness or you know
these gaffs. I mean, it's one after another and it
(02:29):
just you can see. I just I look at Biden
when he left off his where he is today. There's
a dramatic difference, just an observation. And look, we all
age differently. It's it's not against anybody. I don't wish
any ill on anybody, but we're talking about the most
important job, the hardest job in the world, and we've
got to look at everything. They don't want to talk
(02:50):
about Barisma Holdings and the real investigation that Ukraine is
now conducting. Will get an update on what the Senate
is doing. Center Ron Johnson of Wisconsin joins us today.
He'll update us on that, and we'll have the latest
on Chuck Schumer. I know, you know, I know that
maybe some people are hoping for more dramatic drops in
(03:11):
the stock market. I know that makes look stock market
is always jittery, how many times prior you know to
this recent correction, and they're all predictable, these corrections. Did
I say, Well, that's not my barometer in terms of
the health of the economy, fundamentals of any economy. I
find it too speculative for me. I think the stock
(03:34):
market is fine. Any good financial advisor, they will show
you over any period of time that if you don't
need the money, usually the rule is for ten years
it's safe to put it in the market. Don't think
about it, don't get excited when it's high, don't get
too low if it makes an adjustment. One of the
fundamentals of the economy. Well, those fundamentals are particularly strong.
(03:57):
And we just got the latest data updated from December
in January also and it is phenomenal. There's the morning
this morning's unemployment rate. And I know, like Bill Maher
says it, probably others think it just my guests. They
hate Donald Trump so much they want things to go
horribly wrong so that that would result in him losing
(04:20):
in two hundred and forty two days. That's a sad, sorry,
state of affairs. How many times have I said, you
name one thing, if you want to call in, we'll
open a line. Eight hundred and nine four one shun.
What have the Democrats done to keep us more safe
and more secure? What have they really done? Got a
whole lot? All right, I'll give them credit. They funded
(04:41):
the moneies that that are going to be necessary for Corona. Fine,
all right, I'll take that, thank you and whatever. But
the President was clear in the beginning. And when the
President was putting in place a travel ban and instituting
a quarantine which hadn't been done for decades, what were
they doing. They were doing their latest witch hunt. That
(05:02):
was the middle of the impeachment. First, the impeachment urgently
needs to be done so we can go on vacation
for weeks and then come back and devote entire month
and then some in the US Senate with a witch
hunt trial which had a predetermined outcome, all while ignoring
quid pro quo Joe, which is again they want to
(05:23):
ignore Joe Biden on Barisma, real investigations going on on. Uh,
the gaffs that are getting scaryvenue, go you know the
you know the thing, by go you know the thing,
the thing, you know the thing, by go you know
(05:44):
the thing. Thing being God Almighty there. I believe with
every ounce of my being that there is a God
that created the heavens and the earth, and that a
magnitude of majesty we cannot even begin to comprehend. And
science shows us universes now that are living within universes,
(06:08):
within universes seemingly with no end. I mean, oh, it
just it. There's a bang one day and okay, it
just came together perfectly, universes within universes, and the sun
and the stars and the skies and the planets and
all just happened. No, it didn't just happen. Well, my
question is to people that say there's no god or
(06:29):
an atheists, where did the energy come from? Because to
be an atheist you have to actually believe that something
can come from nothing. But I digress. So they we
want things that have to go bad for them to win.
That did so they want Bill Morris, I want a recession.
Oh wow, that's pretty sick, right, Josh. Isn't the Fed
cutting rates now just going to make the next economic
(06:51):
downturn worse? What's your prediction. I've been helping for a recession.
People hate me for it, but it would get rid
of Trump, so you shouldn't hate me for it. I mean,
recessions are really bad. People lose their jobs and nine,
and we shouldn't I know, but I don't care. I
hate I hate Trump more and it's just like, all right,
the stock market makes a normal correction, same thing, or
you know, the stock markets are generally jittery. I personally, ah,
(07:15):
I could take a leave. The stock market been that way.
I argued with financial advisors for years over this, but
it's usually true ten years. If you have it, you
can touch it, leave it, and your money will Usually
it's proven it grows um. But if you're looking at
it every day and you're playing it every day, forget it.
You're gonna drive yourself nuts. That's that's what I believe anyway.
(07:38):
But now the fundamentals the economy, the things that I
look at are very different. I look at, for example,
this morning, we now have the Labor Department reporting US
economy added two hundred and seventy three thousand new jobs
for the month of February. You unemployment rate went down
(07:58):
three point five percent. It's lowest level in more than
fifty years. Oh boy, we had Corona in January, even
all through February. What happened? You know, there is a
certain mindset that'll actually tell you is that, look, even
if we get to the point I would kind of
bet that this is a lot like H one N
(08:19):
one is going to be a pandemic, and you know
there might be periods of time, schools closed tela worketing
and all that stuff. Technology has taken us so far,
it's not gonna hurt the economy. People traveling less might
hurt the airline sector a little, but it's certainly gonna
mean people will spend more money at home. They're not
gonna stop spending money. They planned on traveling to, say Italy,
(08:39):
and they've canceled that vacation. They're probably gonna go to
Florida or California, or New York or wherever they're traveling to.
I'd advise against New York just the thought, but anyway.
Two hundred and seventy three thousand new jobs, lowest unemployment
in fifty years, the best month since May of twenty eighteen.
January and February for the unemployment rate the best since
(09:02):
May of twenty eighteen. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones they
had been looking for payroll growth at one hundred and
seventy five thousand and a three point five percent job level.
Well they exceeded up by ninety eight thousand. Average hourly
earnings up three percent over the past year, in line
with really healthy economic metrics. Average workweek, considered a key
(09:28):
measure of productivity, that's up. See you know to thirty
four point four hours. I don't know these people that
were thirty four point four hours. So that's you. God
bless you. I can't imagine such a life. It would
be fun. More good news the previous two months, their
estimates were revised upwards by a total of eighty five thousand.
(09:49):
December job creation went from an original estimate of one
hundred and forty seven thousand to one hundred and eighty
four thousand. January two hundred and twenty five thousand, two
hundred and seventy three thousand, which makes January and February
the best two months since May of twenty eighteen. And
those were visions brought the three month average to a
(10:10):
robust two hundred and forty three thousand jobs an average
monthly gained. That's already for two thousand and twenty. In
we had a great year in twenty nineteen, and it
was only one hundred and seventy eight thousand. That is
significantly higher, and it takes on particularly more important says.
Everybody was worried all through February. What is the academic
(10:32):
impact of coronavirus? And things slowed down because of impeachment
and most and usually there's a job fall off after
the hiring season in December because you have those temporary
jobs that retailers and others, you know, they hire people
attempts and then they're done by the end of the year.
So these indicators thus far have shown little damage jobless
(10:54):
claims as well, they remain within their trend two hundred
and sixteen thousand latest reading job placement firm Challenger, Gray
and Christmas. They reported Thursday the plan layoffs actually fell
sixteen percent from January, and key readings on both manufacturing
and services show companies still planned to hire. By the way,
(11:16):
the new trade deal with China for two d and
twenty five billion has not gone into effect until January.
We have yet to feel the impact of that. We're
still at the beginning, infancy stages of all the job's
career paying, high paying jobs in the energy sector Keystone,
xcel Da, Coda pipeline, an Moir on natural gas production,
(11:38):
it's all growing. We're in the infancy stages here. I mean,
that's why two hundred forty two days means everything, because
that's where that's where wealth for the American people is.
That that will be the hub of it. The vast
resources of energy that we have available to us in
this country. For the first time in seventy five years,
(12:01):
we are energy independent and a net exporter of energy.
We have only begun to tap tiny quantities of what
is available now to us, especially with new technologies where
we can like microwave, shale oil and literally pull that
up that was not available years ago, natural gas fracking
(12:22):
and done safely. They have mastered that. It's just all
good news. Very strong wages rising, a blowout job number
report today, record law, and the fundamentals of the economy
are very very strong. Now, Yeah, there's there's gonna be disruptions,
and I'll deal with this today on the issue of
coronavirus in the sense that, yeah, unfortunately pandemics happen. I
(12:47):
wish they didn't. I know many of you wish they didn't.
Wish we didn't have H one n one. That virus
impacted kids world wide. We lost estimates over half a
million people in the United States. I think it's sixty
In a year, we lost twelve four hundred or something.
Within By the end of it, I think we lost
nearly seventeen thousand Americans according to the CDC's on their website,
(13:09):
go look at it. So these things happen, but they
never instituted a travel ban. They never had Americans quarantine.
No president ever said we'll pay whatever it takes. He
said it from the beginning. Democrats were busy at the
time impeaching the president when he was instituting the travel ban.
All right, as we roll along, eight hundred and ninety
(13:29):
four one, sean, you want to be a part of
the program. All good news. With the economic numbers, unemployment
numbers out today. I know there's a skittishness on the DOAO.
I know it makes people nervous. I get it. We
didn't see this. This is what I want to say
to you on Corona. So the timeline here matters. And
I'm saying this so that you're informed. And we've I've
(13:52):
spent hours now reading what's available in terms of the CDC,
So timeline matters. We first covered the World Health Organization
a virus in the Wuham Province area of China December thirtieth.
It had had pneumonia like symptoms in some Okay, that's
(14:14):
number one. January seventh. They identified Corona January seventh of
this year Corona. It's a different variation of a previous
Corona January thirty first. Yeah, oh, impeachment was going on.
Of course, the president declared a travel ban and he
instituted the quarantine, which had not been done in decades.
(14:37):
President's been saying, you know, we have a much lower
risk than other countries, but still many of you are panicked.
It looks like the fatality rate there was one story
came out at three point four. It looks much lower
than that. This virus, say, versus the H one N
one swine flu virus, impacts older people with medical conditions.
(15:01):
They are the most at risk, healthier people, even older
healthier people. You know, it's you're gonna get the flu.
It's not it's not fun, it's not comfortable. These pandemics happen.
The H one N one interestingly attacked or or seem
to impact, had a greater influence on the children versus
(15:22):
older people. That's the way these things go. There are viruses,
remember two in any flu season. Even if you get
the shot, which I get and some people say I'm
nuts to get it, you still have that's only about
effective and we lose some years, you know, tens and
tens of thousands of Americans with the average flu. I'll
(15:45):
pick it up on the other side, we're gonna make
some comparisons. I want you to just understand it instead
of those that would weaponize and politicize this. All right,
twenty five to the top of the hour, toll free.
It's eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn. If you
want to be a part of the program, I want
to just give perspective. I want to start as it
relates to coronavirus, because I can feel it. I talk
(16:06):
to too many people. I can see it that there
is in some circles people very worried, very concerned, almost
at panic levels. I just want everybody to breathe a
little easier in this sense. Of course, we have to
be careful with anything. It's unfortunate these viruses, these pandemics
(16:28):
break out from time to time. It happens. I'll make
a comparison with H one, N one and swine flu
in a second. But I think it's important to know
truth and facts and have perspective so that you don't
have to live in a state of panic, unnecessarily concerned.
Always you be concerned. I'm listen I'm concerned in the
(16:49):
back of my mind at any moment, you know, you
have a heart attack, here cancer. We all have to
take better care of ourselves. I think as a country speaking,
I'll speak just from myself, you know, having work, I
work out every day hour, hour and a half a day.
It's a hard workout. It's mixed martial arts. It includes
(17:09):
a lot of hitting of a heavy bag and a
lot of core work and push ups and sit ups
and full contact fighting. That's what I do, and it's
and I've been doing it for seven years and that
just interests me and it keeps my focus. I can't
get on a bike and ride all day. I'm bored, stiff,
I'm bored on an elliptical. I'm bored on this. But
(17:31):
we all should take better care of ourselves. I think,
speaking for me, NJ diet has been a life set.
I tried, Linda, how many ways did I try to
lose weight over the years that you've known me? The
extra twenty five pounds that I could never get rid of,
every way possible, every way possible. I tried everything, and
Enja diet for me was the only thing that worked.
(17:52):
Pretty amazing. If you're interested. I think it's enjy diet
dot com. But they take your own DNA. They manufactured drops.
You drink a lot of water. Bottom line is, when
you're on the diet forty days, no drinking, three point
five ounces of protein twice a day, two twelve ounce
portions of vegetables approved twice a day, and two you know,
(18:13):
like an orange or an apple twice, you know, one
each a day. Get two of those. And I did it,
and I lost the weight and I've been able to
maintain it because I followed their plan afterwards, and I
feel healthier, and I'm back to a weight that I
hadn't been at and have maintained it forever. So I think,
just speaking of myself, we all eat too much. We
(18:34):
need to all take better care of ourselves. Just smart
things to do. Purello is a good thing. We know
colds get transferred by shaking hands. I've never had any
issues with shaking hands. The President was hysterical on this
last night at the town hall. Ah, you can't behind listen. Yeah,
I'd rather not an elbow here and elbow there. And
there's some truth to that. Here's the perspective. I want
everybody to know do. I want you to take good
(18:56):
care of yourself. Absolutely, eat right, get in shape. And
by the way, you don't have to You don't have
to do what I do. You don't have to go
down and fight and punch a heavy bag, you know,
bare knuckles every day. It's kind of nuts. But even
if you just go for a walk day one, maybe
it's five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, and you build
(19:17):
up a walk. You go for a walk every day,
and you see the majesty of God's creation. It's all
good for you. Nobody likes to do it, but once
you get it into routine. I'm the type of person
I'm very regimented in how I live my life. Every day,
I do my workout, I eat, I do this, I
do prep prep prep prep show, prep prep prep show. Sleep.
We'll try to sleep. But here's the perspective. Every year
(19:41):
we have a flu. Every year I get for myself.
I'm not telling you what to do, but I get
the flu shot. Every year. I go to my local
I think, I go to right Aid whatever it is
and get the flu shot. And I know when I
get it, usually around Thanksgiving, maybe a little bit for
a little after I know that it's likely. Some years
(20:03):
it's more effective than others. Some years it's not effective.
Some years it's thirty five or forty percent effective. But
I do it because I don't want to be off
the air that long, and I don't like to be
sick either. And knock on wood and thank god, by
the way, I haven't gotten the flu in many, many years.
My son had it this year. Wow knocked him out
(20:25):
a week and he's an athlete. He's twenty one years old.
It was rough. So we lose ten in years, we
lose tens of thousands of people from the flu. Why
am I telling you that? Because that's called perspective. Why
do I mention that these pandemics they do happen, because
(20:48):
that will give you some perspective. Do we want a pandemic? No,
nobody wants a pandemic. The World Health back to the timeline.
World Health Organization recognizes Wuhan Province area of China, a
virus that showing signs in some of pneumonia like symptoms bronchial.
(21:08):
We now know it's affecting older people. Were say h
one N one impacted younger people more. January seventh, we
identify it as corona. This is a new virus, coronavirus.
We've had coronaviruses before, We've had SARS. We have you know,
a number of other out mayors and SARS and all
these other outbreaks. Now on January seventh, we identified it
(21:31):
for what it was. January thirty first, the President put
in a travel ban, and the President also took an
unprecedented step quarantining Americans coming back from regions that were
greatly impacted by this. And I think you can never
quantify it, but that one decision alone probably save lives
(21:52):
and prevented thousands of others from contracting the disease. President
has been saying much lower risk incidence, potential incidents in
this country than other countries. And it's just a fact.
He's now expanded his travel bands Italy and Iran and
other countries where there's higher incidents. We see that, and
(22:14):
I know this from my sources. We've been on the
ground almost from day one. We were we were offering
medical help, assistance, research, because we do have the best
scientists in the world for us that these types of things.
That's why I can't say enough good things about medical
researchers and doctors and people that their whole life is
(22:38):
their virus experts. This is what they do to keep
us as healthy as we can be. The people that
find cures for cancer, certain types of cancer, that make
advancements at prolonged human life that you know, advancements in
all sorts of medical science, including you know, how did
we treat our young servicemen and women? Walter read the
work they do, the research and can answer Hodgkins disease,
(23:01):
leukemia is we've made such progress now they're making progress
with breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer. Immunotherapy is another
big advancement that we've had stenting, which happened what twenty
years ago, and then the medical stenting and they perfect
that that it's like you're in and out in a day.
I had a doctor tell me maybe six months a
(23:24):
year ago, oh you're gonna need a new hip in
the next ten years. Is that you're never replacing my hip? Ever?
He laughs at me. He goes, I don't care if
I replace your hip or not. It doesn't matter to me.
It's no matter how much pain you want to take. Anyway,
he shows me an X ray on one X ray
is the good hip and the other xtray see this,
this is all as cist I said, Well, great, drain it.
(23:47):
He goes, you're such an idiot. No, it's meaning there's
nothing there. There's there's pretty much bone on bone. It
really doesn't impact me much at all. I mean, I'm
punching and kicking and fighting every day and only once
in a while doesn't flare up and not offense. I'm
not doing anything. But then he says, just stay here.
You know, he's like rolling his eyes. How dumb I am.
Goes out, comes back and he says, see this all right,
(24:09):
this goes, I placed this in your femur. We go
in anterior right in the front. They don't do the
side hip replacement unless it's really necessary anymore, Hey goes,
I'm gonna put this in your femur. You see this,
This is a suction cup. There's a ball at the
end of the stick that he's gonna put in the femur.
After he takes out that in my hip, he goes, yeah,
I'll take me about forty five minutes and you'll walk
(24:30):
out the same day. And if you played golf, I'd
tell you to put a seven iron in the back
of your car and within two weeks you'll be hitting
golf balls. And I went, I'll walk out of the
hospital the same day. Yeah, same with knee replacements. This
stuff is amazing what they do. All right. Now you start,
Uncle James has a new hip. You went, they went
(24:51):
in the old way with you. I wasted five or
six hours of my life, by the way, because I went,
I'm hanging out with sweet baby James in the hospital,
and I knew he was a little out of his mind.
Whatever drugs they had him on, I knew he was
a little out of it. I tell you what's that.
I'm a hard went. I went. I was there like
six hours with him, sitting there thinking, I'm having a
(25:12):
real conversation with him. At times, if you remember, Linda,
I was also dealing with a little crisis at that moment.
Didn't even tell him, tried to keep him relaxed. You know.
It turns out, you know, when he gets out the
next day of the day after, you know, he didn't
even remember me being there. I'm like, you try to
be nice, and he's like, I don't remember you coming.
(25:35):
What are you talking about? Like, oh my gosh. Turned
out this poor guy in the next bed, screaming in pain.
Almost the whole time. Felt so bad for this guy.
We even walked out and said to the doctor, ma'am
the nurse or the doctor, I said, this man isn't
such pain, can you help him? Right guy next door?
Then he turns out, he sees it's me, and all
(25:56):
of a sudden, John Annity, can you please. I'm like
they sat with that guy because he wasn't screaming when
he was talking to him. I was hoping that it
was taking his mind off it, and they did help him.
To their credit. What am I saying? These pandemics sadly happened.
People die from the flu. We have the best research
in the world. Now there might be some inconvenience. If
(26:16):
this spreads a little more, schools may be closed till
a working may happen. Where you still are at a
much lower threat than any other country. We're doing our best.
The top people are all over it. The moneys have
been allocated. The President signed the moneys. Today's in Tennessee
helping those that what a terrible tragedy with the tornadoes
in Tennessee and our friends in Nashville, and then he's
headed to the CDC. He wasn't going to go because
(26:37):
there was a report that, oh, somebody at CDC was infected.
He's the president. You got to take an abundance of caution.
But he's going and you look at like, for example,
H one N one, And this is the only part
of this that frustrates me is viruses don't really care
if they infect Republicans and Democrats. They're kind of nonpartisan
(27:00):
they are. They don't care if they impact or if
you're a conservative or liberal. They don't discriminate. They want
to attack anything. So viruses are. But we have these
pandemics that show up in OH nine and ten. In
April twenty seventeen, back to a timeline, we identified H
one N one swine flu. There was a cabinet official
(27:23):
that said it's an emergency, they got some funding. Obama
even bragging that he never did what Trump did in
three weeks. He didn't do in six months. He never
did it, never had a travel band, never had a quarantine.
The quarantine is something that hasn't happened in decades. Trump's
advisor said, now it's too early, don't do it. He said,
(27:43):
I'm doing it, And Joe Biden said he was xenophobic
and fake news. CNN said, we're going to stigmatize people
from other countries. Well, I think the President made the
right call. Again he waited in on the side of
callan presidents are two right, two point five billion. Let's
get started on this. Plenty of money to get started with.
(28:05):
They got to get an update on some kits they're
working on that. I actually talk to the Vice president today,
said all of this is expedited. Everything is it is
stat deathcom five. Everybody's all over everything. They're preparing hospitals
in case they need it. They're preparing for closures and
helping and assistance everywhere across the thing. Great news is
that we're not is impacted as other countries. Also the incidents,
(28:28):
it seems we have new information. It was a report that,
oh my gosh, it's three point five percent mortality death rate.
Well the best estimates now are somewhere between point one
and one percent, and that's h one n one impacted kids.
(28:49):
This one impacts older people that have other underlying medical
conditions to deal with. In other words, that their systems
are compromised already. But for the average person, get it
like any other flu. You get over it, and that
is the ninety nine percent according to estimates. Let me
play for you. Who's this the Assistant Secretary of State
(29:09):
rhet the Roy shooting down this estimate that is not
two or three percent. Listen to set up some foundation.
The typical mortality rate for seasonal flu is about zero
point one percent or zero point one five percent. The
best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID
(29:31):
nineteen is somewhere between point one percent and one percent. Okay,
that's lower than you heard probably in many reports. Why
is this number one is because many people don't get
sick and don't get tested. So probably for this reflects
the overseas experience. So probably for every case, they are
(29:53):
at least two or three cases that are not in
the denominator. So I just want to sort of scale
that it's certainly could be higher than normal fluid. Probably is,
but it's not likely in the range of two to
three percent. So our best modeling, again, you have a
denominator problem, and I want you to understand that that
only the people who are really sick or have symptoms
(30:16):
come in and get tested. So based is based on
the models we have, right now we estimate the mortality
as point one to one percent. It is likely not
in the range of two to three percent. Point one
to one percent. Okay, so that's cool perspective H one
and one. By the time Obama was proud of never
(30:38):
put in a travel band, never had a quarantine. By
the time he declared a national emergency six months after then,
we identified the virus in August of two thousand and
nine a thousand, one thousand Americans that already died. Swine
flu impacted kids more than this virus seems to go
after older people. We had twenty thousand others if that
(30:58):
contracted the disease. Do you remember at all the media
the Democrats are Republicans at the time acting this way
because I don't, And that's a problem when I think
there has been a hyping. Listen, take care of yourself
and your family. And if you get inconvenience, school gets closed,
(31:22):
work you're working from home. It's not a bad thing.
Thank god, we have the technology you can work from home,
and the fact that we have all of our best
people on it gives me all the confidence in the world.
It does. These numbers are real. What I just told
you what the mob is and others are trying to
suggest Trump could. I don't know where they're coming from.
(31:46):
This ought to be a moment where it's about our
American family, keeping everybody healthy, and it's all hands on deck.
And in spite of what people will do with this politically,
it's sad. These people are ede all right. An hour
two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine four one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program,
two hundred and forty two days until we you the
(32:09):
American people, you are the ultimate jury. Will you shock
the world again? I can't do it on my own.
You have to do it. Early numbers in primary states
people showing up in an uncontested primary, as I've been
pointing out, are massive for President Donald Trump. Now, I've
been laying out a number of issues. One is well
(32:30):
the media mob would want you to ignore. Everything that's
happening with Joe Biden is obvious, lack of focus, the
gaff a second. You know, it's kind of getting bad
and quite alarming, considering does he have the stamina, the strength,
the focus, the acumen to continue this pursuit of what
(32:50):
is the hardest job in the world. Especially compare that
to Donald Trump last night in that town hall he
did phenomenally well, that is a question. Also his horrific record.
That is a question. Is extreme liberal Bolshevik Bernie like
policies that he supports. That's a problem for him. And
in spite of the mob and the media also wanting
(33:13):
to ignore quid pro quo Joe and zero experience Hunter,
well that's not happening. A full fledged, full on investigation
going on as we speak in the country of Ukraine.
And number two, we've got Senator Ron Johnson, who was
the chairman of the Committee of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
(33:33):
He is doing his job and he's now seeking to
subpoena witnesses that are tied to the investigation of Barisma.
And of course the money paid to somebody with no
experience whose father was in charge of all the money
for Ukraine. So anyway, so he was recently on Fox
(33:53):
talking about how his oversight is broader than just Hunter
and Joe and the DNC, and how this was never
adequately answered, adequately answered by anybody as it relates to
Joe and Hunter, and how we may get thousands of
pages of information from the National Archives on the meetings
between the White House and Ukraine officials. I thought that
(34:16):
was important to the mob. I thought that was important
to Democrats. Well, apparently they're just trying to act like
it doesn't exist. And Senator Johnson saying the government will
not tell him why Victor Shokin was fired. The US
government won't tell him, nor is Ukraine really saying enough
about it. No, Shokin is on record with the Washington Posed,
(34:36):
with John Thalomon, and with ABC News saying I got
fired because of Joe Biden. Anyway, here's Senator Johnson himself
and what he said. My investigation possible corruption the obaministration
dates back to Hillary Clinton's email scandal. It was our
oversight that ended up releasing most of the Peter Struck
Lisa Page techs. I joined Chuck Grassley's investigation into possible
(35:00):
n C involvement with Ukraine to affect the twenty sixteen
election back in twenty seventeen. And so it's not our
fault that Joe Biden Hunter Biden got wrapped up in
the whole Ukrainian story. But we were not closing our
eyes to this. And I have no idea why anybody
would object to US obtaining records from a US consulting
(35:21):
firm run by former Clinton administration officials that is basically
using Hunter Biden's name to strong arm the State Department
to curry benefits for a corrupt Ukrainian oil company. So
that's what we're trying to do here. But our investigation
and our oversight is much broader than just this Ukrainian
(35:42):
story with Hunter Biden and even the DNC. And you know,
I mean, the fact is that if, as former Vice
President Joe Biden says, there was no issue with any
of this, then they shouldn't fear anyone looking into it.
And as you point out, these emails that were sent
to the State Department are sort of wouldn't you please
talk to the folks from this firm? By the way,
(36:04):
Hunter Biden is on their board, right, I mean, that's
definitely a suggestion that that name really should open this door, right, Yeah, precisely.
And of course they have the news meet to saying
there's just no evidence of Well that's because they have
they've never looked, and so Joe Biden has never adequately
answer these questions. I've said repeatedly, if there's wrongdoing, the
American people need to understand that if there is no
(36:26):
wrongdoing or if it's not significant, the American people need
to understand that. But Martha, again, the other things we're
looking at. For example, we sent a letter, working with
Sender Grassley, to Attorney General Barr asking him to declassify
four footnotes that, because they are redacted in the IG report,
really make parts of that IG report misleading. We've also
(36:47):
asked the National Archives to look for records of five
meetings that occurred between January in June of twenty sixteen
between Ukrainian prosecutors, Ukrainian embassy officials, White House staff, DNC officials.
We've gotten a response back from the National Archives that
there could be a response in excess of ten thousand pages.
(37:08):
We're just waiting for President Obama's council to release those
to sign a waiver so we can get that information.
So again, our investigation is far broader. The American people
deserve to understand what happened. They need to know the truth.
One of the things we're going to we are preparing
right now is a timeline, and it is incredibly interesting
and it raises all kinds of questions. It connects all
(37:29):
kinds of dots and that really you know, what I'm
hoping to be able to do within the next couple
of months is gathering out the information, verify it through
things like this subpoena, and then issue at least an
interim reports so the American people can see what this
possible corruption is. And again it's it's bullying from a
well connected, swampy consulting firm. And you just have to
(37:50):
ask the question, what was why was Prosecutor General Shoken fired?
I can't get that from the US government. I know
it's a big explanation that everybody wanted him fired, But
there's a document. Yeah, we have to verify, but there's documents.
Supposedly Contemporaries said that the contact by Bluestar to the
(38:11):
Prosecutor General officer is all about apologize for the apologizing
for the misinformation campaign conducted against Chokin, kind of raising
some eyebrows, some questions that need to be answered right
joining us now is the Senator himself that is leading
the charge on this, thankfully. So it's unbelievable that we
had a whole impeachment and trial of President Trump and
(38:32):
that was about a phone call where the only fact
witness in the case said there was no quid or
pro or quo like Joe. And you've got Joe Biden
on tape. You're not getting a billion dollars unless you
fire the prosecutor who told ABC the Washington Post John Solomon,
he was fired because of Joe Biden, unless you fire
that prosecutor investigating my son with zero experience was being
(38:56):
paid millions and you've got six hours to do it.
Amazing hypocrisy, breathtaking hypocrisy. Senator Ron Johnson, the great state
of Wisconsin joins US. Senator, how are you. I'm doing great, Sean,
how about yourselves? I'm good and I applaud your efforts.
I have a very hard time understanding. How is it
possible the phone call with Donald Trump became that big
(39:17):
a deal and everyone that made it a big deal
ignores this situation. Well, you know the answer. The mainstream
media is basically part and parcel of the Democrat partying
the radical left, and of course the bias and the
media's revealed far more and what they're not interested in,
what they don't report on, versus a very overt bias
(39:37):
and what they do report on. So that's what concernatives
have always been battling Sean and it's not going to stop.
It's just a given. And so that's why we need
to be pretty tenacious ourselves and sticking up for revalue, liberty,
freedom of free market systems. Well, to me, is it?
Can it be any more clear? You're not getting the
(39:59):
billion unless you fire the prosecutor. Prosecutor now three times,
three separate interviews, said I was fired because of Joe.
We know the prosecutor said he was investigating Hunter, Biden
and Buri's beholdings. And I don't know any company in
the world, Senator, that would pay somebody millions of dollars
that has zero experience with the country, zero experience with oil,
(40:22):
gas or energy. Why would that ever happen? It doesn't happen. Well,
And of course I think the whole issue here is
the Vice President Biden. And by the way, I liked Joe.
I have a great deal of sympathy for the tragedies
he's experienced in his life. But he hasn't ever been
(40:43):
pressed to answer these questions and the legitimate questions, and
the American people have a right to know, and I've
said this repeatedly. Our oversight is not targeting Joe or
Hunter Biden, but they've made themselves central to the story,
and the American people need to know if wrongdoing occurred,
they have a right to know that. But they also
(41:03):
have a right to know if no wrongdoing occurred, or
if minimal wrong doing occurred, and if nothing happened. Vice
President Biden should answer those questions and lay it all
to rest. But these questions are there, they are legitimate,
and they will continue to fester until answers are given. Well,
it's not a matter of festering. Based on what we
(41:24):
know and what you've heard with Joe Biden, based on
Hunter Biden's interview on Good Morning America, do you think
that there is a prima facia case that what happened
here is a pay to play type of scandal. Well,
you know, the press way says there's no evidence of
(41:45):
illegality or there's no evidence of anything. Well, it's because
they've never looked at it. It certainly isn't right. It
certainly doesn't look good. I mean, there's no doubt about that.
It doesn't look good. And you know, one of the
things we're assembling in our oversight efforts is a very
detailed timeline, and if you if you start plucking out
(42:06):
some of these some of the events in this timeline,
you apply it to a particular situation, it really doesn't
look good. I mean, you see all the activity, for example,
in the February to April time frame when Shokin was fired.
You see immediately after that Prosecutor Generals he fired Blue
Star Strategies. That's the outfit that we're trying to subpoena
(42:28):
records from Andrew Talashenko with his employment there. They contact
the Prosecutor General's officer thin hours. Within a couple of days,
they have a meeting. And here's the interesting part of that, Sean,
is that the memo that was created contemporaneously by the
acting Inspector General says the purpose of the meeting with
Brees US representatives blue Star Strategies was quote an apology
(42:53):
for dissemination of false information by US representatives and public
figures on the activities of the Prosecutor General's offices. Relates
to the activities of Barisma. So what you're saying this
a lot of words, but basically what is being alleged
here is that US representatives had a false information campaign
against Chokin, and that's the individual that Vice President Biden
(43:17):
bragged about firing. Again, questions raised. I don't know, I
don't know the truth here, but it sure raises some
pretty instinct questions that need to be answered. Look, I
could say, sit here all day. I don't think you
really need any more evidence than what we have. And
that is, you know, the look at Hunter Biden money
goes on. You know, by the way, we're not dealing
(43:38):
with a young child here, he's forty nine years old.
He had weeks to prepare for this interview. The fact
that he said, well, do you have any experience? No, no, no,
Well I've served on the mtrack board one time, and
I'm I had about as much experience as everybody else
m But then if we follow well did they get
anything for their money? It appears that they went directly
(44:01):
to the state Department on issues involving Barisma's investigations going on,
and they wanted help from our state department and they mentioned, oh,
Biden Hunter sits on our board. That sounds like they
might have been paying for a name that they could
throw around. Well, again, it's obvious that Barissima was hiring
people like Devon Archer, a Hunter, Biden and others to
(44:24):
improve their image in the US to get these prosecutions ended.
That's pretty obvious. The only reason I'm hedging a little
bit here, Sean, is I'm very cautious. We try and
do very diligent oversight work. One thing you do realize
very quickly in Ukraine is you have to take everything
you hear from. Almost everybody was a huge grain of salt.
(44:45):
So this was being overly cautious. That's why we're trying
to get the documents. We're trying to verify their oftensicity.
And then what I'm hoping you do, hopefully the next
couple of months, again the subpoena will be helpful to
move us down that path, is right at least initial
report on our findings, but fully, fully documented and pretty
much bulletproof. And then then then hopefully the press might
(45:07):
ask a few questions and we might get some more
answers out of Vice President Biden, because he really does deserve,
he really does old American public some real answers to
these questions. You know, Center, I gotta applaud you for
what you're doing. Last last question, President going to do
well in Wisconsin in two hundred and forty two days.
I tell you I go to the rallies here in
Wisconsin and compared to twenty sixteen to support is I
(45:30):
don't know, ten times greater. He does a great job.
I mean, people go those rallies are in great moods.
They leave inspired even better moods. They have a great time.
You know, it's the left, it's the radical left. It
are angry, right, we got a sense of humor. We
have a great time. The President's doing a great job.
I tell I loved, I loved his town hall last night.
(45:50):
That that's how those of us who spend some time
with them having you know, lunched them or in in
the you know, the situation room or whatever. That's the
That's the person I've known for twenty five years. That's
the person I've known for twenty five years. And by
the way, we please as you go around your great state,
I know that Mike Bloomberg many Mike the farmer thinks that,
(46:15):
oh I could teach anyone how to farm. You know,
you take a hole, you put a seed in it,
you cover it with dirt, you water it, and up
comes your corn. You don't need a lot of great matter.
I happen to know the hard, difficult science, brilliance technology
developed by America's great farmers, many of them in your
(46:36):
state of Wisconsin. There are degrees in agriculture and soil
and chemistry involved, and technology involved. I found that such
an ignorant statement. We please tell these farmers you run
into the Sean Hannity and his audience, say thank you
for feeding us in the entire world. I will certainly
(46:56):
do that. And let's face the dairy farmers, they never
get a day on ever. You gotta milt the cows,
even if you're on a sharing the packers. All right,
thank you, Senator Ron Johnson, the great state of Wisconsin.
We appreciate you being with us. All right, eight hundred
nine for one, Shawn our number quick break right back,
will continue straight ahead. I want to tell you or such.
(47:17):
I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the
whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know
what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.
The women of America are angry, and yes, we will
continue to fight for a woman's right to choose. I
(47:41):
will continue to fight for the women of America. Now
I should not have used the words I used yesterday.
They didn't come out the way I intended to. My
point was that there would be political consequences, political consequences
for President Trump and Senate Republicans if the Supreme Court,
with the newly confirmed justices, stripped away a woman's right
(48:04):
to choose. Of course, I didn't intend to suggest anything
other than political and public opinion consequences for the Supreme Court,
and it is a gross distortion to imply otherwise. I'm
from Brooklyn, we speak in strong language. I shouldn't have
used the words I did, But in no way was
(48:24):
I making a threat. I never never would do such
a thing, and Leader McConnell knows that, and Republicans who
were busy manufacturing outrage over these comments know that too. Now,
what will remain long after the clamor over my comments
dies down is the issue at hand, a woman's constitutional
right to choose and Republican attempts to invalidate it. All
(48:49):
right there, it is Chucky Schumer, Yeah, trying to minimize
his threat against coursach In Kavanaugh. Pretty revolting, pretty unprecedented,
but not something I'm surprised about. Now. We do have
people trying to hold him accountable. We now have Freedom
Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs talking about his effort as the
(49:09):
House Freedom Caucus Committee Chairman to have a resolution condemning
Schumer over his remarks about you will pay the price
if you don't rule the way I'm telling you to rule.
I thought, Congressman Andy Biggs, that we had coequal branches
of government, and I thought it might actually be a
(49:31):
violation of US Code one fifteen about intimidating people like
judges in the course of their daily affairs as they
do their business. Yeah, that's right, Sean. I mean, look,
there may even be criminal problems you're like you say,
but let's take a look at his defenses. Defense says
he was talking about political consequences. No, that isn't what
(49:53):
he was talking about. He was talking about threats, and
he says he was talking about to President Trump and Republicans.
No identified who he was threatening. He identified Justice Kaefana,
he identified Justice Corsage, and then he made the threats.
You know, that's the type of case that if you
take it to court, his defense clearly cannot stand because
(50:16):
he has identified who he wants to threaten. He makes
the threat and guess what that's being done. Not because
he wants to warn them of political consequences, but he
wants to affect the decision that they're going to make
in cases that are being argued before the US Supreme Court.
That sounds and looks like a crime. Unbelievable that we're
(50:38):
dealing with this now, you know. I heard Lindsey Graham's comments.
They're like, all right, we're gonna move with censure and
then they're gonna want to send you the president and
then it's going to be never ending. Is a part
of me that's like, I want to just see governance
in our country. I'm sick of all of this because
we have had nothing but three years of all of this. Unfortunately,
when you're dealing with people that you are rational and
(51:01):
are just when they wake up and it's every second
minute hour of every twenty four hour day just hating
Donald Trump when that is their mindset, it's almost like
you have to fight back. Something that the President answered
at a town hall last night that was on Fox.
It's like, if I don't fight back, I'm not going
to be sitting here. Somebody's got to fight back. And
(51:24):
there's such a level of insanity and madness behind all
of this that I don't think there's any other choice
but to fight back. Well, you're exactly right. Look think
of it this way. When I went to introduce a
centure resolution against Maxine Waters for her saying something similar,
I was told the same thing that you're hearing out
(51:45):
of the Senate today. Oh well, we can't do that
because they'll make a martyr of Maxine and it'll exacerbate things.
But until we start holding people accountable, then you will
never see a ratcheting down of this violent type of
incitement that we're seeing. You're never going to see basically
(52:07):
thoughtful collegial discourse anymore. It is going to actually accelerate
because we know that nobody's going to be held accountable
for saying irrational, crazy things. And that's that's the word
you said, irrationally. You're exactly right. We're trying to deal
irrationally with people who are irrational, and that means you
hold them accountable to help them bring the rationality back
(52:30):
in their lives. I'm gonna tell you and I appreciate
an update on this. Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs of Arizona,
because if it's not for people like you and Meadows
and Jordan and Golmert and Ratcliffe and Newness and Gates. Honestly,
you guys are the backbone of the conservative movement in
(52:51):
the House of Representatives. And frankly you have even gotten
Kevin McCarthy now to understand the importance of acting. And
it's a great accomplishment. I tip my hat to him
for doing a lot of this stuff. Now, all right,
thank you, absolute, yeah, thank o. I I mean when
he put Jordan on the committee, I'm like, all right,
all right, Wow, it's not Bayner and Ryan anymore. Now
(53:12):
we have somebody that wants to fight finally. All right,
thanks so much. We appreciate it. We'll stay on it.
That's our promise. All right, let's get to our phones.
It's Friday. I know a lot of you have a
lot of questions, much anxiety out there, coronavirus panic setting
in the minds and hearts of some and two hundred
and forty two days. You have to assume on the election.
(53:36):
You just have to assume that it's tight. Polls don't
mean a thing. There's only one pole that's ultimately gonna matter.
Now I'll report a lot on poles in the lead
up to election date November third. I will report a
lot of it, but understand it doesn't mean a thing
if you're not a spoken the wheel. Now, for your
(53:57):
convenience and to edify and informed electorate, we have put
on Hannity dot Com a map and you can find
all the dates and how to register in your state.
If you haven't registered yet and you want to vote
in this next election, who your congressional candidate is gonna be,
When does absentee voting start, how do you do it?
(54:18):
When does early voting start and end? Etc. Etc. We're
just trying to make it informational. No politics there, just hey,
if you're interested in the future of your country, there's
a lot at stake here. We're trying to provide that
as a service. All right, let's go to April Is
in New York. April Hi, how are you glad? You called? Hey? Sean?
(54:39):
How are you? I'm good? How are you? I'm good?
I took a question for you the coronavirus. You were
talking a lot about them making a vot seam for it.
My question is what they make about see do you
think it should be mandatory? You know. No. The answer
is no. Look, how do I say this? I understand
everybody he's concerned. You should be concerned. You know, there's
(55:03):
I've learned a lot by reading a lot about viruses.
That's what we do on this program, and we do
it and we try to pass on as much information
that will be helpful to our wonderful audience. All right,
what do we learn? We learned that Donald Trump took
unprecedented steps. We first identified that there was a problem
World Health Organization on December thirtieth of last year. Timelines
(55:25):
means something here, and they noticed a virus that was
causing quote pneumonia like symptoms. They didn't identify it as
Corona until January seventh. Now, Corona, this is actually a
variation of a previous coronavirus. There are similar viruses out there.
On January thirty, first, the President, in spite of everybody
(55:46):
around him saying, oh, it's probably too soon, you don't
need to do this yet, he put a travel ban
in effect that he also quarantined Americans coming back from
the region, and he took for example, the people off
the ship that we knew, the cruise ship that we're
impacted and had contracted this virus, and he moved as
expeditiously as possible. He has now expanded his travel bans
(56:07):
to other countries like Oh, Italy, I Ran, etc. And
then you have to kind of compare and contrast. Well,
every year we usually lose tens of thousands of Americans
that die from the flu. Just giving you facts here,
just information. If you compare this virus corona to H
one and one and swine flu, well that was Biden
(56:29):
and Obama's first year in office. They identified that in
April of two thousand and nine. Eleven days later, they
did have one Cabinet agency say it's a state of
emergency to release some funding to begin the process of
getting treatment and looking into the virus, etc. But it
wasn't until October of two thousand and nine that Obama
(56:51):
declared a national emergency, and at other times he bragged it, Yeah,
people wanted a travel ban on I'm not doing that.
I did do that. By the time October came around,
that was six months into the H one N one virus,
which is different than this virus. This virus seems not
to impact kids much. This virus impacts older people, especially
(57:14):
those with health problems. They're more susceptible to having real
problems with it. For others, it's fine. It's just an
average flu, not much different the vast majority. But the
two percent fatality rate we're seeing with this or around there,
we don't know the actual number yet. It is in
line with what other viruses have done. But but at
the time that Obama declared this was a national emergency,
(57:38):
a thousand Americans had already died in a six month
period of time from H one N one swine flu.
Twenty thousand others had contracted the disease. At no point, ever,
did he put a travel ban in effect. Did he
ever quarantine Americans. The quarantine hasn't happened for decades in
this country. Now, I say all of that as a
(57:59):
case history for this reason. I want everybody healthy always.
I want cures for cancer. The advancement in the treatment
and cure of cancer is unbelievable. Hodgkins disease, you know,
we cure ninety seven percent of those cases. Now, I
had a relative decades ago, young man died. It was
a cop in New York died in Hodgkins. That likely
(58:20):
wouldn't happen today. We're making great strides with prostate cancer,
colon cancer, breast cancer. I want I hope one day
we look back and say, wow, we found the cure,
and our great scientists, medical researchers do it every day,
or doctors are amazing. Look at the procedures for hearts,
same thing. You know, we people stenting and bypass and
(58:43):
other means to save people's hearts, even transplants. So the
only hand say to you is, you know, take every caution,
but know that these things happen, and the government has
moved faster with money and efforts that are pretty unprecedented.
And that's why it's so irritating to watch people politicize
and try and turn it into a political weapon or
(59:04):
weaponization of a virus. It's ridiculous. Um does that answer
your question? Um? Well it does. But like you said,
and then you said, I had a doctor and your
show yesterday they said people who get the coronavirus have
mild symptoms. Correct. I don't understand why is there's such
a big push for a vaccine that doesn't even seem
like it. Well, honestly, that's that's standard operating procedure. There
(59:28):
are twenty specific examples we have of their working on
a vaccine immediately. That's what we do. I mean, look,
I get the flu shot every year. Some people think
I'm nuts. I like it. I don't get the flu,
haven't gotten the flu. I'm pretty healthy. But it's you
know what, for older people in particular, it might be
very helpful. This virus attacks older people, tends to attack
(59:49):
older people more. H one N one attacked a young
people more. You know. I'm just glad we have scientists,
medical researches that you know, crush it for us every
time we need them. And that and that's where our
folks needs to be. Yeah, put pure rail on. Okay,
don't shake hands as much, whatever you want to do.
If your school closes for a week, your business closes down,
and maybe you're just teller working for a while, it's
(01:00:11):
all part of the process. And I just wish people
would understand the truth about this more because they're being
fed some lies by people with the political agenda. Quick break,
Thank you for the call. Eight hundred nine four one,
Sean told free number. We're back on the other side
and Tom Fitton will be deposing Hillary Clinton and tell
us about that. Next we have time for a quick
(01:00:32):
call here and then Tom Fitton will be deposing Hillary Clinton.
Joe Jersey, what's up, Joe? How are you, sir? Good afternoon, Sean.
Joe Kansa touched on what I'd like to talk about yesterday.
This flighty Sumler reptile Schumann has now threatened two of
(01:00:53):
our branches of government in a Maxi water style incivility.
And we can't be saying it sounded like this to us.
It was this, and God forbid if something happens to
one of our justices, like they're out at a gasoline
station or they're out eating dinner with their family. This
(01:01:14):
guy's got to be held accountable. And I don't care
if he's from Brooklyn or he's from Omaha, Nebraska. All Right,
somewhere in your town is your biggest whimp and your
toughest guy. I gotta believe he's your biggest whimp in
Brooklyn growing up. He was pansked when he was a kid.
And I don't care what kind of Spinney tries to
put on this. This was a threat and something has
(01:01:37):
to be done and held accountable as long as it lasts. Well,
I agree, he needs to be held accountable. We never
hold anybody on the left, it seems accountable. I'm hoping
Durham and Barr hold people accountable. Bron Johnson, who was
with us earlier, will hold them accountable. Tom Fitton is
holding Hillary accountable. Why am I going to bring up
that Clinton emails because she's being deposed under own I
(01:02:00):
want justice serve because you and I would never get
away with this stuff, and we don't. You don't have
the rule of law, our constitution unless it's equally applied. Period.
When we come back Tom Fitt and Greg Jarry. Yes,
Hillary now ordered to go under oath. That deposition coming up.
She's got seventy five days to respond. We'll update you next. Oh,
(01:02:22):
I'm next our final news round up and information overload hour.
In my arguments, you think that the FBI believes that
you tried to wipe the entire serve. Did you try
to wipe the entire so that there'll be no email,
no personal, no official to wipe the whole thing, Well,
my personal emails are my personal business, right. So we
went through a painstaking process and turned over fifty five
(01:02:45):
thousand pages of anything we thought could be work related
under the law. That decision is made by the official.
I was the official. I made those decisions. And as
I just said, over twelve hundred of the emails have
already been deemed not work related. Now, all I can
tell you is in retrospect. If I'd use a government
(01:03:08):
account and I had said, you know, let's release everything,
let's let everybody in America see what I did for
four years, we would have the same arguments. So that
that's all I can say. You wipe I'm not you know,
I don't. I have no idea. That's why we turned
it over. We were in charge of it. You were
the official a charge. Did you wipe the server? What
(01:03:29):
like with a cloth or something? Though? Well, no, how
it works digitally? Did you try? I don't know how
it works digitally at all. I do not have any plot.
You do not, And I know you want to make
a point, and I can just repeat what I have said.
In order to in order to be as cooperative as possible,
we have turned over the server. They can do whatever
(01:03:49):
they want to with the server to figure out what's
there or what's not there. That's for the you know,
people investigating it to try to figure out. But we
turned over everything that was work related every single thing
personal stuff. We did not. I had no obligation to
do so and did not. The laws and regulations in
effect when I was Secretary of State allowed me to
(01:04:13):
use my email for work that is undisputed. It clearly
wasn't the best choice, and I take responsibility for that decision.
I thought it would be easier to carry just one
device for my work and for my personal emails instead
of two iPhone or Android iPhone. Okay, in full disclosure,
(01:04:40):
BlackBerry and a BlackBerry. I have a you know, an iPad,
a mini iPad, an iPhone in a BlackBerry. I believe
I have met all of my responsibilities and the server
will remain private. In order to be as cooperative as possible,
we have turned over the server. They can do whatever
(01:05:01):
they want to with the server. I am confident that
I never sent nor received any information that was classified
at the time it was sent and received. So that
leaves the one hundred out of thirty thousand emails that
Director Comy testified contain classified information. I did not receive
anything that was marked as classified. Director Comey said that
(01:05:24):
only three out of thirty thousand had anything resembling classified
markers were official returns. Did you want conservers, what like
with a cloth or something? Well, no, we turned over
everything that was work related, every single thing. All right,
News round up Information overload our Sean Hannity Show eight
(01:05:46):
hundred and nine for one Sean. You want to be
a part of the program now, all right, So they
have I never sent, I never received, I never ever
classified top secret information. It's only three and not why
I only have an iPhone? I wanted it all on
one device, but I have an iPhone, I have a Mini,
I have an iPad, I have a BlackBerry. I've got
(01:06:07):
it all all over the place. Like did you wipe
it clean? You mean like with a cloth? Ed? Do
you mean like with a cloth? Now? Why is this relevant? Well,
it's relevant because of a judge's decision, and that is
a federal court order now that Hillary Clinton will have
to testify about her emails and the Benghazi attack documents
(01:06:29):
thanks to Judicial Watch and it's president Tom Fitton, and
quote quote, the court is fed up. Missus Clinton has
given us written and answers under oath. The court doesn't
deem that sufficient because they haven't been terribly helpful, and
he thinks that she should come in and testify under oath,
and now that is in the process of moving forward.
(01:06:51):
Tom Fitton is the Judicial Watch President. He is with us.
Greg Jarrett is with us. Now, why are you talking
about Hillary Hannity? She's not running this time. I can't
tell you how many people actually think she could end
up on the ticket with Joe Biden. A lot of
people think that, and you know, because there's a lot
of worry and concern that nobody wants to talk about,
(01:07:12):
and that is Joe Biden. Does he have a fastball
a slow pitch? And what's going on? He doesn't really
seem to have the strength, the stamina, the well alertness
and ability to focus to be taking on the toughest
job in the world. And while they're trying to ignore
(01:07:32):
it in the mob and the media, which they would
never do if it was Donald Trump, and while they're
ignoring it in the Democratic Party, many high profile Democrats
have even told me, of all people, Sean Hannity, that yeah,
this really is bad. We're all worried. Anyway, Tom fitting
with us, Greg Jarrett with us, author of the best
selling book which Hunt, to discuss this and some of
(01:07:56):
the issues that are now moving forward, as it relates
to the origins of the Russia witch hunt. Tom, great job.
Do you have a date? What are you scheduling this? Well,
this interview if you will, or testimony of Hillary. Well,
we'll have to communicate with her lawyers and figure out
a date, assuming she doesn't appeal it. I doubt you will,
and it has to be done within seventy five days.
(01:08:18):
So over the next few months. And you know, obviously
missus Clinton had an opportunity to try to answer some
of our questions under oath in writing, and as you noted,
the court wasn't satisfied, found them really not helpful. And
despite the objections of Missus Clinton's lawyers and disappointingly the
Justice Department in the State Department, we get finally to
depose her under oath because it was this case. It
(01:08:40):
was a Benghazi Koya case for the Information Act case
that led to the uncovering of this email system. And
so now several years later, and despite all of the
obstruction we face from her and the agencies, we're going
to be able to question her directly. She set it up.
Witnesses were telling us we had to talk to her
if we wanted to know why and how it was.
And we have new testimony that she was worn six times.
(01:09:04):
She and her top staff about the use of separate
email accounts. They knew about it in the State Department,
didn't tell anyone. The Obama White House was involved in
covering up the existence of her secret emails. So there's
a lot that's been uncovered that the Court's concerned about.
And so people may want to focus on Judicial Watch.
And obviously our lads did a great job in getting
the information and you know, making the argument of the court,
(01:09:27):
but the Court wants these answers, not just Judicial Watch.
The Court has due Well, it's it's annoying as hell.
I mean that it takes this long on everything. And
I know, and I give you a lot of credit
because you stay on it, you don't stop. You're you know,
you're unrelenting in your pursuit of truth and justice. And
this is one of the things that becomes problematic. And
(01:09:47):
I don't care if it's Hillary Clinton, the email server,
the lie she told, the top secret information, the violation
of the Espionage Act. That's a slam dun case. Greg
jarrett as is deleting. She didn't mention subpoena emails and
then forensically making it impossible by using bleach pit to
ever recover those emails, and then the blackberries and the
(01:10:09):
hammers and the other devices and the simcards. It gets.
You know, you have to be unrelenting, which is why
I'm not going to stop talking about it till justice
has served here. Clinton left thousands of classified government documents
of vulnerables to theft through hacking, buyer nations enemies, and
we learned after the fact that the Chinese accessed and
(01:10:31):
obtained her emails, and that means the Russians did the
same thing. She also broke other laws beyond the Espionage
Act obstruction of justice, destroying some thirty three thousand documents
that were subject to an authorized subpoena by Congress Orders
for Preservation of Documents. If anybody else had done that,
(01:10:54):
he or she would be prosecuted for crimes committed. You
mean like Roger Stone and Rogerstone you know, yeah, Exhibit A.
I didn't see twenty nine guys pre dawn raid tactical
gear CNN cameras tipped off frogmen in the back of
her house in Chappaqua. Never saw it, and not only
(01:11:16):
did she get charged with nothing, but five people close
to her were given immunity agreements in exchange for nothing
of value. That never happens. You only give immunity when
you get something in exchange. They were all given a
free pass, including Cheryl Mills, and she, according to thanks
(01:11:39):
to the Judicial Watch lawsuit, Judge Lambert has said you
were to be deposed as well, miss Mills, because he
determined that she had committed perjury and lied under oath,
and he put that in a published opinion. So it's
not just Hilary Clinton, but Cheryl Mills. Both will be
on the hot seat. And there's one of the facts here,
(01:12:02):
and that is that remember when they finally got around
to deposing Hillary supposedly, or well, let's just say, when
she was being interviewed by the FBI, including Peter Struck,
if you recall, something unprecedented happened there. Cheryl Mills another
aid were in the room. Now, usually when the FBI
(01:12:23):
is conducting a real investigation, they would not have somebody
or allow somebody to bring their aids in for comfort
and support. But they did. And then three days later
Jim Collmate thirteen and a half minutes, she's guilty. She's guilty.
She's guilty, but we're not going to do anything about it. Yeah,
that was not only irregular, it was improper, It was unethical,
(01:12:45):
and as I wrote in my book, it was probably illegal.
Two of the fact witnesses given immunization are allowed to
accompany Hillary Clinton during her stunningly brief FBI interviewing, which
she said I don't recall thirty nine times and was
never put under rowthelievable, and Sean, we now know that interview.
(01:13:09):
The report of that interview is not reliable in the
sense that Peter Struck just received an email. Peter Struck
wrote that at the end of the interview, Hillary Clinton said,
apologize to the FBI for it's having you expend resources
to investigate this issue, said she did it for convenience,
but it turned out not to be the case. So
that did not end up in the FBI three o
(01:13:31):
two report. So that admission, confession, apology never ended up
in the FBI three o two report. And you have
to wonder what else they kept out to help her. Unbelievable.
All right, moving on to some other issues that we
do have here, Greg Jarrett, if you look at the
case of Judge James Bossberg, it's far more serious about
(01:13:53):
stopping FISA abuse than as predecessor, all of the fbideo
J people involved in lies and deceptions. As it relates
to the illegal warrants that were obtained, the visa warrants
against Carter Page to spy on a candidate transition team
and then President Trump deep into his presidency, they want
(01:14:13):
a full accounting of it, but they don't want them
to talk to people that might be under investigation. That
was an interesting side note to this ruling. You know,
I'll give Bosberg some credit because he goes meticulously through
all of the lives of the FBI and DJ that
they concealed the Carter Page was actually working for the
FBI and had been honest, that the FBI altered a
(01:14:36):
key document, that the FBI hid, that Christopher Steele was biased,
he was not credible, They hid the Hillary Clinton campaign
and the DNC paid for the phony information. The judges
were deceived about news reports, and that the FBI concealed
exculpatory evidence on multiple occasions. But most of all, Bosberg
(01:14:57):
focused on the fact that the FBI learned in January
of twenty seventeen that it was all made up, phony,
exaggerated information. The FBI should have dropped the case then
no special council ever appointed. They should have gone to
the five succord and said, sorry, we're withdrawing the Warren
(01:15:19):
to spy on the campaign. Stay right there and yeah,
either dump it or make major changes, but don't ask
the people that were involved in of using the files
of process and premeditated fraud on the court. All right, guys,
So are we gonna get anywhere with barissma with Ron
Johnson on the program earlier? Are we going to get
anywhere with Durham and Barr thirty seconds each? Tom Fitton first, Well,
(01:15:43):
if we have something to do with anything to do
with it, we will. We've got multiple lawsuits on Biden Barisma.
They're going to have to start turning documents over soon,
and they were stalling to help the impeachment effort to
deep state was and that's going to end. I don't
think Durham's going to do as much as I want,
but we're going to get more information as a result
of his work, which is I guess slightly better than nothing.
What do you think, Greg Jarrett? Well, the latest word
(01:16:05):
is Mitt Romney will not object to subpoena's for Barisima Hunter,
Biden and so forth. I think Centator Ron Johnson's determined
to get to the bottom of the son of the
Vice president sitting on the most corrupt board in all
of Ukraine. At the same time his father is supposed
to be cleaning up the corruption and seems to have
(01:16:29):
obstructed it by demanding the firing of the prosecutor investigating
his own son. All Right, thank you both for being
with us, Greg Jarrett, Tom Fitton, great work. We'll see
time will tell I have some maybe a little more
confidence than them. But we'll see eight hundred nine for
one Sean Tolfrey telephone number. We'll hit the phones are
sound of the week. The things you've missed as a
(01:16:51):
lot of it. Straight ahead as we continue, alright, twenty
five to the top of the hour. As I predicted, Yester,
what did I say? I said the mob in the
idiot they're ignoring a lot of issues involving quid pro quo. Joe.
Now we had Ron Johnson on, and Ron Johnson now
is getting subpoenas four witnesses. As it relates to you
(01:17:13):
not getting the billion unless you fire my son a
billion of your money, by the way, taxpayer money, until
you fire the prosecutor investigating my son being paid millions
and millions of dollars with no experience. You got six
hours to do it. And then, of course the prosecutor
says to ABC and John Solomon and the Washington Post, Yeah,
(01:17:34):
I got fired because of Biden, not for any other reason,
on record saying it numerous times. And so I know
that the media went through this whole impeachment phone call
Donald Trump was he withholding funding to Ukraine so that
they would investigate the Bidens had a whole impeachment over
(01:17:54):
that collot by the way, in the middle of when
the President was putting in place to travel ban for
people that had Corona from countries like China, Wuhan Province
in particular, you can't travel to the US and even
our fellow Americans. We haven't done this in decades. In
three short weeks from the day we identified that it
(01:18:16):
was corona, took three weeks the President put a travel
ban and a quarantine and effect from people for Americans
traveling back from the region. Wow, they never did that
in two thousand and nine. In two thousand and ten,
and we lost nearly seventeen thousand Americans as it relates
to H one N one and swine flu. But in
the middle of that, they're doing this big investigation and
(01:18:37):
quid pro quo Joe. The mob in the media doesn't
want you to focus on Ukraine and quid pro quot Joe.
They're ignoring it. And we have the big purple elephant
in the room. That elephant is what is going on
with Joe Biden. Does he have this strength, the ability
to focus, the acumen, stamina that is needed. But what
(01:19:02):
is by far? We all think we have tough jobs.
You think that job is tough, whatever you're doing, and
many of you do have tough jobs and a lot
of pressure in your jobs. We don't have any pressure here,
trust me, right, Linda, none whatsoever. Zero pressure, Hannity is
what we call it every day. But we all have pressure.
And what's amazing, they don't want to talk about that either.
(01:19:25):
Pretty amazing, And I predicted yesterday when here we've got
Joe Biden on tape giving a speech in Cleveland about
how politicians and he says it very arrogantly. We're gonna
play it for you or sound of the week that
politicians like him do more good than doctors, lawyers and
Indian chiefs. And then he said that he wasn't a
(01:19:47):
particularly moral individual, that he has no problem taking money
from special interests. Wow. Then he says, oh, I was
told you're not invited to women. And then he said, oh,
I'm sorry, I'm gonna give a football analogy, basically saying
what do you know about football? And then insults another woman,
Hey kiddo, wow, you look great, lovely appearance, and then
(01:20:10):
using language lecturing a predominantly African American audience on the
other n word, I'm like, wow, imagine if this was
tape of Donald Trump, what people would think and say
and how they would react. So I think it's worthwhile considering.
They will never report it, just like they never vetted Obama.
(01:20:30):
Obama was only as one time because I pushed it
with Stefanopolis about his association with domestic terrorists, Bill Airis
and Bernardine Dorn and the weather Underground, not for anything.
That's really good audio too that we don't play enough,
which one when you had that interview with Stefanopolis, I
mean you like that audio, you know, it's so strange
(01:20:52):
about that interaction with him. You know, I booked that
interview and he came on. He was very nice, and
he know standard like, Hey, what are we gonna talk about?
I give him general topics and you ask him, has
he has he ever heard of this? Is he? And
he's genuine, he's authentic. He says, no, I don't know
anything about this, and he actually goes and then has
(01:21:14):
the conversation with Obama. Now he brought it up. It
was just some guy that would have just said, you know,
I'm not even going to talk. I'm not going to
even bring it up at all. But he did. He did.
To his credit, he did, and and I gave him credit.
At the time. Where did we run into him? We
were headed like some Singapore I know he was on
(01:21:35):
the plane, I think with us when we were flying
what air? I think we flew Singapore Air. Yeah, and
I think he was on that flight. Every New Year's
Maker in the world was on that flight. I don't
remember that. I remember him being there. So we got
in the airport and there was George Stefan. I don't
think he likes me very much, but I don't think
(01:21:57):
he wants to battle with me either, So he's usually
pretty nice anyway, brought him on the program and I said, hey,
you know, the fact that he didn't know confirms something
else that I say that the media mob, they all
talk to each other. They live in this little bubble
and they try to outdo each other. I hate Donald Trump, No,
(01:22:17):
I despise and hate him. No, I despise and triple
hate him. And it's like, but they're really only talking
to each other. And if you look on Twitter closely,
if you're bored and you want to just check it out,
look at all the media people and all the left
wing bloggers and all the left wing political pundits and politicians, etc.
(01:22:38):
They all talk to each other, and they all retweet
each other, and they all try to outdo each other.
And being hating Trump more than the next person to
be the greatest Trump hater and he lives in that
world is evidence by him not knowing the fact that
we're now at the point of a presidential debate. We've
been vetting Obama day and night. There's no clue. No
(01:22:59):
one else in the media have a clue. They didn't.
It's like they put blinders on because they are an
extension of all things radical, extreme socialist. All right, I
will see to your request. Let's play step like a
Friday Funday for me. This is like a Friday Funday
for you. I'm being so nice. I will grant your request.
(01:23:19):
We will take a trip down memory lane before he's
hosting a debate with Obama didn't know anything about Arison
Dorn and he then followed up and asked the question,
and we'll play. The only one time that Obama got
asked in the mainstream media, wouldn't come on my show. Listen.
There are two questions that I don't think anybody has
asked Barack Obama, and I don't know if this is
going to be on your list tomorrow. One is the
(01:23:42):
only time he's ever been asked about his association with
Bill Airs, the unrepentant terrorists from the Weather Underground, who
on nine to eleven of all Days in the New
York Times was saying, I don't regret setting bombs. I
don't think we did enough. When asked about it by
The Politico, David Ox said they have a friendly relationship
and that they had done a number of speeches together
(01:24:03):
and that they sat on a board together. Is that
a question you might ask well, I am taking notes
right now. September eleven, two thousand and one, of all days,
there was an article in the New York Times and
there are number of quotes about Bill Ayres, and the
Politico had in there the comments about from David Axelrod.
I think that's an interesting question that nobody in the
media is really brought up. We've highlighted a little bit
(01:24:24):
more here on this program, but let me see if
I can help you. You You want any more questions? Keep
going on this issue general theme of patriotism in your relationships.
A gentleman named William Ayers. He was part of the
Weather Underground in the nineteen seventies. They bombed the Pentagon,
the Capitol, and other buildings. He's never apologized for that,
and in fact, on nine to eleven he was quoted
(01:24:45):
in the New York Times saying, I don't regret setting bombs.
I feel we didn't do enough. An early organizing meeting
for your state Senate campaign was held at his house,
and your campaign has said you're friendly. Can you explain
that relationship for the and explaining Democrats why it won't
be a problem. This is a guy who lives in
my neighborhood was a professor of English in Chicago, who
(01:25:10):
I know and who I have not received some official
endorsement from. He's not somebody who exchanged ideas from on
a regular basis. And the notion that somehow, as a
consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts
forty years ago when I was eight years old, somehow
(01:25:33):
reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense. George.
He's only a guy in the neighborhood, George, guy in
the neighborhood that The New York Times covered his statement
nine to eleven, two thousand and one. I wish we'd
done more of all days, all days that morning's paper,
before it all happened that day. This is a group
(01:25:53):
that took credit for bombing the capital and New York
Police headquarters. Where else did they bomb? I forgot? You know,
we didn't do enough. I wish we did more. That's
where Obama started his political career. I did. If it
was Trump, it is so sick and twisted, and all
these examples about Ukrainian corruption and quid pro que, and
(01:26:16):
if it was all it was Donald Trump, the gaff machine,
and not even having a slow pitch. You don't think
the media would be all over that. They would They
were acting like it's not there then, of course as
atrocious track record. They won't vet the eight years of
Biden Obama. They're not gonna do that. We'll do that
just like I predicted. They are not gonna tell you
(01:26:38):
about what I was leading up to until I was
so well politely interrupted by Linda, which is Biden and
this tape of his from the was it the Cleveland
City Club? It's the City Club of Cleveland, that's cract. Yeah.
They released everything in May of twenty nineteen, and they
did an article on it on their on their own website.
(01:26:58):
Cleveland dot com did too, and so did bright Bart.
But nobody in the media place examine. Are lots of
places put it out there? Yeah, but we're the only
ones that I know have played at nationally maybe illustrated,
and if they did, kudos to them. I'm not trying
to I share credit. But listen, but I don't think
anything has assaulted the system and the fundamental makeup of
(01:27:19):
this country as much as this Watergate thing has. And
the only analogy I can really think of is a
football analogy, and I apologize to you women in the
audience for not being able to think of a more
appropriate analogy. But they told me here. They didn't want
you here anyway, I didn't expect any women to be here.
We spend a lot of time talking about the United
States being a melting pot. Well that's true, but quite frankly,
(01:27:42):
I think it's overrated. We've been able to move forward
because of politics, and in my opinion, politics need not
necessarily be a dirty word. Politics should be the most
honorable of professions. Those of you who heard, and lawyers
and Indian chiefs in the audience, how can any of
(01:28:03):
you possibly do as much good if you're very good
at what you do as I can do. If I'm
very good at what I can do, you can't. So
the point is, this is where the action is. Politicians
happen to affect everything that affects you, as you are
very well aware. And if we bring down a great
(01:28:26):
political party that should not be blamed for what happened,
we begin to bring down a system. And if we
bring down the system, unless you've got something better to
replace it with, we're in trouble. And I, for one,
don't have anything better to replace it with. We all
came here, with the exception of few of my brothers
(01:28:48):
who were forced to come. We all came here because
we didn't like it where it was, because power had corrupted,
and because we were going to build a system that
built into that system the inability of power and too
much of it to reside in any one place. I
fortunately had over three thousand individual contributors. Nobody makes up
(01:29:14):
any more than one percentage point of my total budget. Nobody,
for one percentage points gets a hold of that ear.
Nobody gets any more than a return phone call for that.
But it's not because I'm particularly moral. It's because nobody
took me seriously. Had in the beginning when I started,
(01:29:36):
big corporations or big labor, or big wealthy individuals, or
big anybody come along and said, here, Biden, we want
to contribute twenty thousand dollars to you. I probably would
have taken it. Not probably, I would have taken it.
I have had a number of conversations with the Southern Senators,
and we get about forty to fifty requests a week
(01:30:00):
to speak nationally. And just as if if I are
elected with one eye, I'd be an anomaly and they'd
want me to speak. I'm thirty. That's not because of
any merit. They just because I'm thirty. They want to
see if I can talk. And the places that we
go that I've told my staff the places I want
to go by and larger of the South, because I'm
most unfamiliar with the South, so I've had occasion to
speak in the South fairly frequently. Party and I think
(01:30:21):
the two party system, Although my Democratic colleagues don't like
me saying this, I think the two party system is
good for the South and good for the good for
the black in the South. And other than the fact
that they still call me boy, I don't think they've
I think they've changed their minds for today. What a
shift show. The Democratic primary is all of Biden's problems
(01:30:43):
including yep, you guessed it, quid pro quo Joe. Senator
Ron Johnson writing's previous tonight, how is the state of
Wisconsin looking going into the election in two hundred and
forty two days? Will have the latest as it relates
to Corona. And you know what, why doesn't anyone blame China?
We have a Hannity investigation into how extremely radical Joe
(01:31:05):
Biden's views are and much more Matt Whittaker, Doctor Segal,
Melissa Francis, Shan Spicer, and Pete Hegseth and much much more,
All coming up Dan Bongiino, nine Eastern Tonight on Hannity.
We'll see you tonight, We'll see you back here Monday,
and it will be two hundred and thirty nine days
to go. It flies by. I have a great weekend.
