0:09

it wouldn't work until I met Mike

Lindell and I got my very own

1:05

I want to focus on to want to focus

1:07

on I ran, I want to focus on other things. I don't

1:09

want to focus on fixing somebody's back

1:12

or their knee or something.

1:15

Let the states do that. The states should do.

1:17

So the block grant concept

1:20

is a very good concept. And if

1:22

you have good management, good governors, good

1:24

politicians in the state, it'll be phenomenal.

1:27

If you don't, it's like everything else. So

1:30

we are I could

1:32

almost say we are just about there in

1:34

terms of the vote. So I expect

1:36

to be getting healthcare approved. But I'm disappointed.

1:39

I thought that when I Randy, and I've been

1:41

hearing like you for seven years repeal and replaced

1:43

the repair. For seven years, I was as of Indian. I

1:45

wasn't even thinking about doing this. I was doing my

1:47

nice buildings all over and I

1:49

was leading a very nice life, believe me. And

1:53

then I decided to do the And so for two

1:55

years I've been saying, we're going to repeal the replace. That's what's

1:57

gonna happen. We will repeal the replace. But

2:00

I thought that when I got to the Oval office,

2:02

I would have a bill sitting on my desk, repeal

2:05

and replace, a beautiful healthcare

2:08

bill. And it didn't happen.

2:10

But remember, it didn't happen because of

2:12

a lot of Republicans. It didn't have it, you

2:15

know that happened. That horrible thing

2:17

happened because of a few

2:19

people, really a few people.

2:22

And the problem we have is we have fifty two

2:24

senators and they

2:27

have to get rid of the just

2:29

absolutely crazy voting

2:31

where you need sixty. It's called the filibustero.

2:34

It's a disaster. Okay, it's a disaster

2:36

for the Republicans. They have to

2:38

get rid of it. If they don't get rid of it,

2:41

it's just a death sentence.

2:44

And we should go back to

2:46

a majority and we'll get the votes.

2:48

One after another quick final question in

2:50

the tax package, is it possible

2:52

rather than wrap it all into one great

2:55

big bill that gives everyone an

2:57

excuse to not vote for it, saying

2:59

oh, I'm for ninety, will

3:02

it possibly be done ala carte where

3:04

each piece of it and force these guys

3:07

to say yes or no to each element

3:09

of the tax point. We could do that, For instance,

3:12

it would be easier, believe it or not. You

3:14

know, the Democrats want to raise taxis because

3:16

they want programs that many people

3:18

don't want. They want a big increase in

3:21

taxes, and we want a big cut in taxes.

3:24

So for business, we could do it much

3:26

easier. We're separate. But I don't

3:28

like that because I think it looks unfair

3:30

to people in the country. You know, the business now, even

3:32

though it's going to create jobs, they're

3:34

not looking it that way. So I want to do it

3:37

this way. Could we do it that way? Absolutely, some

3:39

people prefer doing it that way. I think

3:41

you would agree if we can get it. Doing

3:43

it the way we're doing it is better because I want to give

3:45

the middle income people in this

3:47

country, and this is not a tax for the rich.

3:50

Now, everybody's going to benefit,

3:52

but this is what we're focused on more than

3:54

anything, and even more so, we're actually

3:57

adding things in as we speak, because you know,

3:59

the plans being aston et cetera. But

4:01

this is for the middle class. So the

4:03

answer is, yes, it would be easier if I cut it down

4:06

into the the middle income

4:08

people, or the working people

4:10

as I call them, because they are they're working people.

4:13

If I do that and business would be easier.

4:16

But I'd like to do it as one, all right, so maybe

4:18

we'll actually get some progress. Hour to Sean

4:20

Hannity show told free telephone numbers eight one,

4:23

Sean, you want to be a part of the program.

4:25

So it is a rare in studio appearance.

4:28

Um My Fox News colleague of ten years

4:30

now will debut The ingram Angle

4:33

immediately following Hannity on Fox,

4:35

debuting October the thirtieth, because she

4:37

needed a few weeks to get her active. You know something,

4:40

I am. She

4:42

needed a few weeks to go on. You have

4:44

such a fancy studio. I have a very down

4:46

home studio like you have. You got like fifteen

4:48

screens. What is this, Norad? Look at this one to six.

4:51

You got fifteen In the other road over there, you got

4:53

they got, you got the ode to Hannity

4:56

all over the play. This is amazing. What is the Conservative

4:58

Solutions Caucus? I got? I

5:00

got your head? You have your head

5:02

on George Washington's body? Are

5:06

you lying? You were? You were at Valley Forge. That's

5:08

a good move. Why anyway? So that's

5:10

the forgotten man sitting on the bench, and

5:13

there's Donald Trump helping the forgotten man? And

5:15

uh, I try to remember what this election was about,

5:17

because for a big part of my life

5:20

I was the forgotten man. Had two

5:22

hundred dollars in my bank account. Came from it

5:24

came from the forgotten man. And that's where we came

5:26

from. That's why we're hungry. You know. I'm glad

5:28

you wrote this book. It's called Billionaire

5:30

at the Barricades. The Populist Revolution

5:33

from Reagan to Trump. I was really

5:35

who was it that wrote this? Oh?

5:38

Like, well, you go from William F. Buckley

5:40

to the likes of Hannity and Ingroom

5:42

and talk radio? Is that what this

5:44

is? Is this the movement? I'm thinking I

5:47

happened to Revere Buckley. I mean, he's a

5:49

brilliant, brilliant man and god

5:51

and man. Uh

5:54

you know, but you know, are they going

5:56

to talk about his ear reverence? I remember

5:58

a few debates with Gore if you ever said

6:02

that was Buckley? We really liked taking on Videl.

6:04

Yeah. Well, the the Party has been in this family

6:07

feud mode, uh for since

6:09

about two thousand seven, when they tried to push

6:11

the Bush amnesty down everyone's

6:13

throats. They tried to put Harriet Myers the ultimate

6:15

act of chrony ism on the Supreme Court, and

6:18

that was talk radio. They basically stopped both

6:20

things, the the immigration amnesty that was

6:23

being pushed back then by John McCain and

6:25

a lot of Democrats and George

6:27

W. Bush and the Meyers nomination.

6:29

Thank goodness, we defeated both. Because now

6:31

we have Sam Melito on the Supreme Court and

6:34

we have Donald Trump. So I think the the

6:37

Reagan Revolution brought everyone

6:39

together because Reagan came in

6:41

Shawn at a time when we had to defeat

6:43

the Soviet Union, when Jimmy Carter

6:45

had taken our country uh down a ravine,

6:48

we had the Iranian hostage crisis. And

6:50

Reagan came along after almost winning the nomination

6:53

seventy six and with a conservative popular

6:55

zeal. He revolutionized

6:57

politics in the country. You and I wouldn't be doing what we're doing

6:59

without Reagan. So he is

7:01

the reason we're we have a meeting. He's Without

7:04

Reagan, there would have been no Fox News. It would have

7:06

been my question. Though I look

7:08

at Trump's agenda and I don't care if it's his economic

7:10

plan. Seven bragets, the three repatriation,

7:13

energy independence, corporate

7:15

taxes, lowering the rates across the

7:17

board for the most part. We can get to the

7:19

details later. Uh, Immigration,

7:22

secure the borders, be identifying

7:24

evil in our time, something Obama wouldn't

7:27

do. What part of his agenda

7:30

is not conservative because I

7:32

mean, we throw on these terms populist, nationalist,

7:36

But I look at Trump's agenda as conservative.

7:38

I've always been a Reagan conservative. I've not

7:40

changed. Well. Reagan used to make

7:42

America great again. That was his That was one of his first

7:44

commercials, as everyone remembers, and his

7:46

point from seventy six on, really from

7:48

sixty four on, was without a

7:51

strong vibrant American economy,

7:53

we're no good to the rest of the world. Because

7:55

if America sees that the system at home is

7:57

rigged against them and it's not really work king

8:00

for the everyman, is just working for a very small

8:02

veneer of elites, then they're not gonna

8:04

They're not gonna have any desire to do anything in any other

8:06

countries, any foreign countries. So Reagan understood

8:09

that. He when he went to blue collar America

8:11

and said, you don't have to vote Democrat anymore. There's

8:13

a new way forward. Trump actually did a

8:16

similar thing. They're different people. Obviously, Trump is not

8:18

a politician. He doesn't speak with the

8:20

the same you know, poetic h you

8:22

know that were the same poetry of Reagan. But remember

8:24

the same Democrats who despies

8:27

Reagan in the same old style Republican

8:29

Party that hated Reagan and seventy six called

8:31

him a force of disruption,

8:34

actually called him Republicans would the one that called

8:36

him an amiable dunce. Yeah, and and he

8:39

was Ronnie Reagan. He was gonna blow

8:41

us all up. He was going to get us into World

8:43

War three. What are they saying about Trump, Corker

8:45

yesterday? We was gonna get us into World War three. It's exactly

8:47

what they said about Reagan. Because Reagan didn't want to do the dayton

8:50

To anymore. He wanted peace for strength. He thought

8:52

we could bring the Soviet Union down by a

8:54

stronger U. S economy and a bigger military.

8:57

And he was laughed at for that. You know what's amazing.

8:59

I watched the Corkers can go back and forth,

9:01

and I don't think I Corker doesn't

9:04

get it. The Senate doesn't get

9:06

it. Do you realize they've been there there now in their

9:08

ten months since Trump has been president,

9:10

what have they accomplished. They didn't. They've maybe

9:13

approved a third of the President's

9:16

all right, the thing was a big deal. And

9:19

and no doubt, of course it's on the Supreme

9:21

Court. Give credit where credit is due. Um,

9:23

If it wasn't for the President stepping out today

9:26

with Ram Paul and using his

9:28

statutory authority on the issues involving

9:30

healthcare, we wouldn't get anything done.

9:33

Every problem. Everything the President could do himself,

9:35

he's done exactly. And yeah, we heard, we heard

9:38

yesterday and today on some of the other cable

9:40

channels. We heard, Well, the president just doesn't

9:42

want to pass legislation. The president just wants

9:44

to to bully people into to appeal

9:47

to his thirty pent talk radio

9:49

audience. And I said to that, how many

9:51

pieces of legislation has have arrived

9:53

at his door on his desk that

9:55

he hasn't signed. He even signed the Russian

9:57

sanctions bill, which frankly was a stupid bill. He

10:00

signed it reluctantly, but he wanted to play along

10:02

and play nice with the establishment there, and he

10:04

did that. But I'm telling you, the

10:06

the establishment Republicans, the McConnell's,

10:09

the Corkers, the McCain's, the Lindsay Grahams

10:11

of the world. We can work with them on certain

10:13

issues, but on some issues there's just a break in the family

10:16

and that's not coming back. That's not coming back. So they're

10:18

not reaking conservatives. So you

10:20

know, the

10:23

one that is the bigger reaking conservative

10:25

would be Trump. I think Donald

10:27

Trump. And it's so it's so odd to think about

10:29

it, but a guy who comes from Manhattan, who

10:31

grew up as a son of privilege, has

10:33

a closer connection to the

10:35

heartbeat of the American working class

10:38

than any of these Republicans on Capitol and

10:40

I mean any of them. If he is stunning, it's

10:42

his stunning thing. If his plan was implemented.

10:44

Those people in those pictures, and I'm not in them,

10:47

thank you very much. But John McNaughton,

10:50

I actually have the original. That's a that's

10:52

a copy. I bought the original. That guy

10:55

sitting on the bench. And you've

10:57

got one side liberals, the

10:59

other side conservative presidents and

11:01

Obama stomping on the constitution.

11:04

But if we would implement those economic

11:06

plans, Reagan created twenty million new jobs

11:09

revenues to the government. It was up to that time,

11:11

the longest period of peacetime economic growth

11:14

in history. It can be duplicated,

11:16

it can be But why would they resist, Well, because

11:19

if Trump is successful, think of what

11:21

that does to their brand of Republicanism,

11:24

which has been really riding

11:26

on the coat tails of Reagan without a lot of accomplishments.

11:29

They are, at their heart, they're very hard.

11:31

They're not working class conservatives.

11:34

They're not. Most of them aren't from the people that we're

11:36

from. I'm sorry they're not. They're most of them are. They're

11:38

a different which is okay because you can be privileged

11:40

and actually get it. But they are when

11:42

push comes to shove, keeping wages

11:45

low for corporate America by streaming people

11:47

into the country and there for these global

11:49

trade deals that if d industrialized the Middlewest.

11:51

That's why all these states turned out for Trump. They've they've

11:53

seen their livelihood destroyed,

11:56

their families oftentimes broken up. They got

11:58

all these people addicted to opioids. We have we

12:00

had a hopelessness in America, Sean that

12:02

was so uh, it was

12:04

so transparent, and I felt it the night of

12:07

October I mean, excuse me, November six,

12:09

in Leesburg, Virginia, two days before the election.

12:12

It was a Sunday night, and it was cold. It was

12:14

maybe, I don't know, forty five

12:16

degrees. At midnight,

12:19

there were twelve thousand people

12:22

waiting for Donald Trape to make it Triinal Trump

12:24

to make his final trip on the campaign.

12:26

I was there, Stay right there. I want to know. You

12:28

were sort of in the forefront of

12:30

of leading the effort against Erik Cantor,

12:33

and you were successful. And Dave Bratt

12:35

took his place, and then we saw Roy Moore

12:37

in Alabama, and just this

12:39

weekend, Steve Bannon says, oh, this is

12:41

just we're just starting, all

12:43

right, we'll take a break. Laura Ingram as with us a brand

12:45

new book out. We put it up on hannity dot Com.

12:48

It's called Billionaire at the Barricades The

12:50

Populace Revolution from Reagan to Trump.

12:52

By the way, I'm gonna be in Philadelphia area on

12:55

Thursday night, and then we put that up on all the

12:57

all the tour stops on Laura ingram

12:59

dot Combat Philly. I want to see a big Philly turnout

13:01

on Thursday night. More with Laura ingram on the other

13:04

side. She will be one of our many guests

13:06

tonight on Hannity's Steve Bannon is stopping

13:08

by in studio tonight and much more

13:10

nineties And you know how I love hearing

13:13

great American success stories and sharing them

13:15

all with you. Well, our favorite T

13:17

shirt, underwear sock company, Tommy John,

13:19

Well that's one of them now. Tom Patterson

13:21

grew up in a small town in South Dakota. After

13:23

college, he had a successful

13:25

career. He was selling medical devices on the West

13:27

Coast, but he quickly became

13:30

fed up with the ways undershirt kept

13:32

coming untucked. So, despite having zero

13:34

background in men's fashion whatsoever,

13:36

Tom sketched up some designs for smarter

13:39

undergarments now, starting out of his apartment

13:41

and growing Tommy John to the globally recognized

13:44

company it is today. Well he achieved,

13:46

Tom did the American dream. Now. Of course there's

13:48

super soft there undershirts. Guess what,

13:50

they never come untucked. Plus all

13:52

of Tommy John underwear is backed by the best pair

13:55

You'll ever wear guarantee. Or it's free go to

13:57

Tommy John dot com slash Hannity off

14:11

and as we continue, Laura Ingram is in studio

14:13

with us today. One Shawn is

14:15

our number. We've got an investigation coming up

14:18

into the very latest and the Debbie

14:20

Wasson and Schultz scandal. Um. So

14:22

you wrote billionaire at the Barricades. We

14:24

saw what happened to Roy Moore in Alabama.

14:27

You were in the forefront of going up against

14:29

Derrick Canner and as a result, I

14:31

think we got a far better Congressman David

14:33

Bratt and Steve

14:35

Bannon is basically saying this is

14:38

just the beginning, because if the Senate is not going to

14:40

do their job and they're not going to get things accomplished,

14:42

and they're gonna stop the agenda, then let's replace

14:44

them. I agree with him. I think he's totally right. And

14:46

I'm gonna be with Bannon with Kelly

14:49

Ward in Phoenix next week. Now. I'm

14:51

supporting Kelly Ward. Yeah, So we're doing a huge

14:53

event for her. So it's Bannon and I and some other friends.

14:55

I guess by the way, she's gonna beat Jeff Flake. Oh.

14:57

Jeff Lake is one of the most unpopular,

15:00

untethered to reality senators He's

15:02

a globalist. Open borders, complete, open

15:04

markets, doesn't matter if China is getting stronger,

15:07

and he is a constant thorn in the side

15:09

of this administration. He did not understand

15:11

what the election was all about, and the

15:13

people have had enough. I mean, just like, just like on your

15:16

show, Sean min, listeners in Phoenix go

15:18

crazy, They like, how did we get this guy? They

15:20

always campaign is one thing and then

15:22

they govern or something totally.

15:25

I think Corko would have lost in Tennessee. Absolutely,

15:28

That's why he was getting out, that he was on his way out.

15:30

He you know, barely won by the skin of his teeth

15:32

last time around. He was scared last time around, and he managed

15:34

to win. But this time, forget about it.

15:36

The populace winds are blowing so far

15:39

early in Tennessee. Well, Marcia Blackburn's

15:41

running. I like Marcia, but I want to see

15:43

what the real field is because I'm not sure she's

15:46

nationalists from enough for me, frankly. I mean, she's

15:48

she's been there for a while. I like her a lot, but

15:50

we'll see. I'm waiting to she's actually come up with her

15:52

own version of the Penny Plan that actually goes further

15:54

than the version I've out of all these years. Yeah,

15:57

well I'm happy. I'm not making I'm not

15:59

making decisions and told the time no, no, we have plenty

16:01

of time on that um and I guess they're even

16:03

going after or in Hatch now in Utah

16:06

Orange Hatch. God bless him. He's a nice man. He

16:08

could not be a nicer person. Lamar Alexander

16:11

fed Corprane Cochrane. I mean these

16:13

people are like it should be on the set of Cocoon.

16:16

I mean, this is this We've got to go.

16:18

I mean, this is is that pool real?

16:20

I want to find that pool? This is I mean,

16:22

we do know, Oh my god,

16:25

we just it's time to say goodbye

16:27

there in their late seventies, do they have no interests

16:30

other than shuffling over to the Capitol

16:32

every now and then to go to these black tie

16:34

dinners raising money? I mean, seventy

16:37

seven years old, seventy nine years old, eighty

16:39

two years old. I mean, they've just got

16:41

it. It's not a lifetime

16:43

job security act running for the Senate.

16:46

I'm tired of all of them, all right. So I'm looking at

16:48

your book. I've been reading it this weekend. Thanks

16:50

for getting an early copy. It's just out today

16:52

in bookstores everywhere. It's on

16:54

Hannity dot com. Also, you're gonna be doing

16:56

a bunch of book events speeches, I guess, along

16:59

with the book signing in Philly, Emmertle

17:01

Beach in d C. You headed Oklahoma

17:03

City, Scottsdale, Arizona, West. Yeah.

17:06

Oh, you had to put West Palm Beach down,

17:08

the chut the breakers. I

17:10

had to go check out your property down. I don't have

17:12

any property down in West Palm the landed

17:14

gentry you went from the construction site.

17:18

I don't have me. I don't

17:20

have property in West Palm Beach. Okay,

17:22

sorry, it's the one county in Palmita County. You don't

17:25

have problems on the other coach in

17:27

the Panhandle? Are you kidding me? I don't have any

17:29

property in the

17:31

Naples? So I do have wa condo in

17:33

Naples, all right. I

17:36

always struggled with like, okay, so what's

17:38

my story? And it suddenly dawned on me that

17:41

I was the beneficiary

17:43

of these radical changes

17:46

in you know, women's rights and opportunities

17:49

that began in the sixties

17:51

and continue, and that I

17:54

could have and maybe should have tried

17:56

harder to tell that story. But

17:58

I quickly add, as you point out, I

18:01

never thought there would be that receptive an audience,

18:04

and I think that what's

18:06

happened since this election may

18:09

have cracked that open. I hope

18:11

it has. I hope you know. I'm seeing tens

18:13

of thousands of people on my book tour, and

18:16

I've now shaken you know, about seven eight thousand

18:18

hands and book signings and spoken to you

18:21

know, ten thousand more, and I've got much

18:24

still to do. There seems

18:26

now to be a willingness by more

18:28

and more women and girls

18:31

to claim uh

18:33

their rights in a

18:35

very explicit way, not an

18:38

apologetic way, not like, oh,

18:40

you know, excuse me, let me express my opinion,

18:42

but no, I have an opinion. I want to tell you

18:44

what that opinion is. You can tell you that the number one

18:46

problem in Hollywood was, and is

18:48

and always will be pedophilia. I was

18:50

twelve years old and my publicist, he Um,

18:53

basically talked me into doing things

18:55

that I didn't really want to do. I was having had sex

18:57

before, and he kind of convinced me that this

18:59

was the right thing to do and kind of told me like,

19:01

don't tell your parents. He seduced me

19:03

and he started adding eleven years old to twelve. We

19:06

have to make people realize that children need

19:08

to be safe on these sets, and they're

19:10

not safe. Congratulations, you five ladies

19:12

no longer have to pretend to be attracted to

19:14

Harvey Weinstein. Do

19:18

you have any advice for a young girl? I'm looking to Hollywood,

19:21

Uma, Harvey

19:28

to hear of your own free will as

19:32

someone course you endo being here?

19:34

Do you count Harvey Weinstein is? Of course,

19:37

I'm not afraid of anyone in show business. I

19:40

turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein.

19:42

I'm no less than three occasions.

19:45

So the Harvey Weinstein scandal continues

19:48

here, and uh, it's getting worse

19:51

by the day. And here's the most fascinating

19:53

aspect of all of this is how

19:55

come you never hear all of these

19:58

people in Hollywood that supported the Clinton over

20:00

the years. Will I interviewed one

20:02

it to Broderick and she accused Bill Clinton

20:04

of rape. I interviewed

20:07

Kathleen will You said she was groped and

20:09

grabbed and fondled and touched and kissed

20:11

against her will I interviewed Paula

20:13

Jones, who says that then Governor

20:16

Clinton dropped his pants and said, kiss

20:18

it. How come the media never plays this?

20:20

And why did they? Were they so supportive of

20:23

Bill Clinton? Let's hit it. He described

20:25

the scene where he was biting on your lip, and

20:27

then when it was all over he was

20:30

leaving, Peru

20:33

said you'd better put some ice on

20:35

that, and casually

20:37

put on his sunglasses and walked out the door.

20:39

It was a terrible ordeal for me and

20:41

I no woman should be subjected

20:44

to it. It was an assault. He

20:46

assaulted you. He and he

20:48

touched, grabbed, flottled and kissed you against

20:51

your wits. And it's an allegation

20:53

that is not made by one woman, It's

20:55

made by multiy of us. Will um,

20:58

I need to be go anders thing. And next thing you

21:00

know, he pulled down his He's sitting and pulled

21:03

pulled down his pants. He's how everything

21:06

and he was exposed and I said,

21:09

I'm not that kind of girl, and I

21:11

need to be getting back to my to my desk.

21:15

So beyond despicable, beyond

21:17

hipocritical. Ainsley Earhart, the

21:19

co host of Fox and Friends on the Fox News Channel

21:22

each weekday morning six to nine, is with us.

21:24

She's got a brand new book out Uh, this

21:26

is number two in a series. It's called Through

21:28

your Eyes, My Child's Gift to me. You

21:31

know, it's fact. I'm gonna

21:33

ask this question through this prison when

21:35

you have a daughter and I have a young daughter,

21:38

and I saw your daughter on TV with your

21:40

dad. Is in your Mr Earharts, Sir? I

21:43

know, I'm I know with the South it's sir, yes,

21:45

sir, No, sir yes, ma'am no, ma'am

21:47

am. I doing all right? Like we put

21:49

his mic on. Uh,

21:52

you gotta get you got dad, You gotta get closer to the mic.

21:54

Yeah, you gotta talk a little loud

21:57

to me. No, no, no, I'm glad.

22:00

But it makes a difference. I mean, it literally

22:02

makes such a big difference in life. Um,

22:05

what are your thoughts. You've been covering the Weinstein thing.

22:07

You know, when you play all those sound bites

22:09

of the girls who were accusing Bill Clinton

22:11

of this, it sounds exactly like the stories

22:14

about Weinstein. And I don't think any of us have ever thought

22:16

about it because that happened so long ago until

22:18

you've brought it up, Sean. You know, could you imagine

22:21

if the she were on the other foot, if this were President

22:23

Trump? Oh, the mainstream media

22:25

would be playing it over and over

22:27

and over. Yeah, they're not really thing,

22:30

not not for you know, and

22:33

you know now we're seeing that it was a lot of

22:35

these stars are coming out of the world where I think it's a tip

22:38

of the iceberg. I had two women on last

22:40

night. Tracy uh mcure was

22:42

on an actress that there's been in movies

22:44

and on soap operas. And then we had Kaya

22:47

Jones who was with the Pussycat Dolls. And

22:49

it's in music, and it's

22:52

in TV, and it's in the movie

22:54

entertainment industry, and these young girls

22:56

go with hopes and dreams, and this is how, this

22:58

is why my parents would never all right, dad, they

23:01

never wanted me to major in theater and they didn't want

23:03

me to go to New York at an early age. That

23:06

was that true? Mr? Yeah,

23:08

I remember. Was she incorrigible

23:11

growing up? What she behaved? She was trouble

23:13

all the time. That is not true. You're

23:15

getting me confused with your son. Oh

23:18

so she was an angel, and I don't know about

23:20

an angel, but I was the middle child.

23:23

She was the middle of the road. I put it. Put

23:25

the middle of the road. Middle child is that right.

23:27

Um, well, you know you think of it. And

23:29

I know this is a second in the series. By the way, that the

23:32

illustrations and these books that you do

23:34

are phenomenal you and your first book

23:36

was Take Heart, My Child, and that was

23:38

your dreams for your child. I happen

23:40

to see you guys on the show this morning for

23:42

your your daughter is an angel. That girl is adorable.

23:46

Um, and that's your granddaughters, sir.

23:48

Okay, And so now through

23:51

your eyes, my child's gift to me. And

23:54

I started thinking about it as you got were talking about

23:56

it this morning, say I'm getting southern, y'all. And

23:59

um, and this is what was interesting to me is

24:01

when you watch kids and it's

24:03

raining outside, they love the rain. You

24:06

know, to us it's an aggravation. You know,

24:08

if with the snow, it's an aggravation.

24:11

For a kid, it's heaven, you know.

24:13

And and they for example, you buy

24:15

them a beautiful gift or a

24:17

toy, and all they care about is the plastic

24:19

that they can pop. You know. It's

24:21

like and we think it's the greatest gift we ever got

24:24

them. And I mean, so tell

24:26

us about well that's really what the book is about.

24:28

Sean, It's just it's it's

24:31

watching your children and learning from them

24:33

and being able to as an adult say,

24:35

I can grow and learn, learn

24:38

the importance of life and what's really important.

24:40

And that's three of the eyes of a child. Because

24:42

you, I'm sure your schedules as busy as

24:45

we live insane lives. I mean, let's

24:47

go, go, go all the time. And does

24:50

your child stop you and

24:52

you go, wow? Your your child's

24:55

name is Hayden, Hayden. Does

24:57

your child that you find yourself stopping

24:59

and saying I'm so stupid? I do find

25:01

myself. I've always been a worker, and

25:04

like you, I say yes to everything

25:06

that Fox ever asks me to do. And

25:08

my schedule is packed I have I mean it literally,

25:11

minute to minute, it is packed. Having a

25:13

baby has slowed me down. And the fact that

25:15

I'm not afraid to leave work and

25:17

go attend to her or go to

25:19

her classes and just put my work

25:22

life on hold for an hour. Do you

25:24

find you getting better at saying no? Because

25:26

I got better as I'm now. I just

25:28

started my twenty three year at Fox, believe

25:30

it or not. Last year. Congratulations,

25:32

What will we do without you? Thank goodness? Who

25:35

would have thunk it. I'm the last man standing a Fox

25:37

News I'm in a studio that. Can you believe

25:39

that if you really think about it. We're from South Carolina.

25:41

I watched you. I would I remember it

25:43

was the last thing that we would do every night. We'd watch

25:45

your show and then go to bed and I'd get up and anchor the

25:47

local news. And now I'm working with you

25:50

and it's been a correspondent for your show and I'm on your radio

25:52

shows. You've been there eleven years

25:54

now, right, almost eleven almost eleven years. What

25:57

did you think MS when you read

25:59

this book, because I'm reading it my kids are older

26:01

now. My son's eight teen, my daughter sixteen,

26:04

and I'm I'm realizing that there were

26:06

those moments. If I do have one regret

26:08

that I wasn't home enough because i was working

26:10

so hard. And but I remember

26:13

my kids would like they would stop and

26:15

pick up a rock, and then I'd be like, come on,

26:17

let's go, go, go go. No, they then they pick up a

26:19

flower, and I'm like to stop

26:22

with the stupid flower. Then they pick up something else

26:24

that was annoying me. And I

26:26

remember at the time, I was pretty good at realizing

26:28

all right, it's more important that they play with the rock

26:30

than me to drag them along like they're a puppy

26:33

dog, and and understand that

26:35

that's of interest to them. Well, showing off

26:37

like that, you know, always like the simple things in life,

26:39

probably the best things in life. And that certainly

26:41

what was true and raising children. And as I said

26:44

today on on the TV station, you know,

26:46

they get from God, so uh, how

26:48

bad they are, how good they are, they yours

26:50

your responsibility to care for him and love them

26:52

and and chash them. And uh, you

26:55

know, the little moments that we had with

26:57

with all three of ours, we'll probably won't. So

26:59

we were sitting together talking at

27:01

the beach somewhere, sitting around on the beach

27:04

and just been in town with each other. That was far more

27:06

important than get a new car or

27:08

a new house or whatever it might be, some new

27:10

toy whatever. Like you said that, I think they had more

27:13

pleasure playing with boxes at the toys game in

27:15

and you know, and I'm looking

27:17

through the illustrations and you have like a snowy

27:19

day with an airplane and the kids are ecstatic.

27:21

You have a scene in the park, a false

27:24

scene, and the illustrations are beautiful. Then

27:26

you have a little girl chasing birds

27:28

in the book and a story around that. Then kids

27:30

in a playground, which used to give

27:32

me odjitive because I thought my kid was gonna break

27:35

his neck. Um. And then then kids hanging

27:37

out at a pond and just running

27:39

around and playing and with the dog, and then

27:41

you know, butterflies and flying kites

27:44

and going on little boats. Um.

27:47

I don't know about your life. I don't get to do this

27:49

anymore, you know, I barely

27:51

get to breathe. But it's

27:53

it's we I think we rob our

27:55

kids of their childhood a little well,

27:58

you know, the book is it's really it's

28:00

been interesting to see how all this is unfolded.

28:02

The first book was about all the little little messages

28:04

that Dad would leave me next to my serial bowl every

28:07

morning, A scripture, a poem, and it

28:09

was called take Heart because there's a scripture in the Bible

28:11

that says in this in this world, you will have trouble,

28:13

but take heart. I have overcome the world. And

28:15

I think about that when we talk about isis we talked

28:17

about you know, all North Korea?

28:20

Take Heart, I have overcome the world. And

28:22

that's kind of the message our kids teach us who

28:25

learned to breathe learn to take a step back

28:27

and truly smell the roses. You've been able

28:29

to do that. This has helped you, It's helped me.

28:31

I'm working on it. I'm I'm not a perfectionist,

28:33

and I mean I'm not I'm not perfect at this. I'm

28:36

trying, but I'm learning. I'm really

28:38

just learning to take a step back and watch

28:40

my daughter and appreciate her seeing a

28:42

dog for the first time. I

28:44

remember from the first book, you did tell that story

28:47

that Mr Earhart stir Uh you

28:50

you would leave notes for all

28:52

the kids, right and Bible verses. Did

28:54

you have any idea would have the impact to inspire

28:57

Ainsley to do a book like this. No, not

28:59

really. It just I was really surprised

29:01

and actually kept him all or row

29:03

him down some way. And I still have a file forward

29:05

the house and I would kind of run out. I'm gonna have to go

29:07

BackStar repeating yeah, but I see.

29:10

My family is just shocked that I'm not in jail.

29:12

I mean, they're really Uh. I was far more incorrigible

29:15

in my life. I won't go there. H.

29:18

I guess you're saying that's your brother. Okay, he

29:21

turned out, Okay, how does it feel?

29:24

Two? And this is just

29:26

the fact now that the President of

29:28

the United States of America that

29:31

you're his favorite show. There have been articles written

29:34

that Fox and Friends is his favorite

29:36

show one of them. I think yours is

29:38

too. He I think he's watched the show.

29:41

Yeah, it's great. Yes, you

29:44

know, the mainstream media or the liberal

29:46

press will want to write an article about you

29:48

know, we give soft interviews, and we do that.

29:50

That is not true. The Vice President

29:52

even told one of his folks that works more

29:54

and told me that my interview was tougher

29:57

than he gave three of us interviews

29:59

at one point when was our one was me and I can't remember

30:01

who the other one was, And he said that mine

30:03

was the tougher one out of all three of them, which

30:05

I took great pride, and because I planned my questions

30:07

the night before, I talked about it. Sometimes

30:09

I'll call you and I'll say, Sean, can I remember the questions

30:11

with you? Or I'll talk to people on my staff and

30:14

I'll come up with really hard hitting questions and things

30:16

that I think our viewers are gonna want to know. I don't

30:18

want anyone to think it's a softball question, but I

30:20

do want people to think we're fair, and I think

30:22

we are fair. No, well, and you work very hard

30:24

to get these interviews, as everybody does. UM.

30:27

And I noticed that Brian was was there

30:29

earlier today. UM. One of

30:31

the things you should be proud of is by far

30:34

you you double your competition,

30:36

you beat them combined, and

30:38

and that's an amazing accomplishment, especially

30:40

considering how tough Morning TV is. We have

30:43

great I just want to I will tell

30:45

you this is the best illustrated book with an

30:47

incredible message. I think it reminds even

30:49

those of us that are adults that that we need

30:51

to slow down a little bit and we can learn

30:53

from our children that their gifts from God

30:55

and they have wonderful things to teach us and remind

30:58

us about. Um. You're gonna be out in Huntington

We'll continue. All right, that's

32:21

gonna wrap things up for tonight. We're gonna blow wide

32:23

open the real Russia conspiracy

32:26

collusion story. It's all happening

32:28

tonight on the Fox News Channel.

32:30

Hannity at nine Now. Sarah Carter,

32:33

John Solomon, our good friend

32:35

Greg Jarrett, new King Rich and Peter Schweitzer

32:38

will all break this down for you in an understandable

32:41

way. And I bet the rest of the media

32:43

ignores it because they are corrupt.

32:46

You don't want to miss it. That's happening tonight,

32:48

nine Eastern Hannity on the Fox News

32:51

Channel. Listens

33:51

Vegas. Listen a

33:54

powerful moment from last night's Vegas

33:56

Strong concert that we were a small part

33:59

of, headlined by Big and Rich

34:01

than you had Ron White the comedian

34:03

there, you had Rascal Flats playing an

34:05

incredible acoustic set. Uh

34:08

and had I mean, Big and Rich were on their

34:10

game last night. It was it was just

34:13

phenomenal. So while

34:15

they were playing that, remember this is one

34:18

hour before with a crowd

34:20

of about thirty thousand people, the

34:22

shooting that happened here in Vegas. Remember

34:25

they sang that song in Unison. I

34:27

mean, for some parents that lost their kids,

34:30

they know that an hour before their

34:32

child died, this is the experience

34:34

that child had. And that video went

34:36

so viral. So during the singing

34:39

of this last night, I actually stood in front

34:41

of the stage and I stood up

34:43

on like this chair, and I think

34:45

I got the best video I've ever taken

34:47

in my life because I'm not the best video taker.

34:50

And we posted it all on Hannity dot Com.

34:52

I'm gonna air it on TV. All

34:55

of this will air on TV tonight in my usual

34:57

slot. We're gonna have Vegas Strong and Night

34:59

a Hea Ling and all the highlights

35:02

from last night are going to be played tonight, and

35:04

I think you're gonna really enjoy it. And

35:06

I know the people in Vegas did, and I know from what

35:08

I've heard. A ton of money was raised for the families,

35:11

the victims, uh for some of their

35:13

medical costs and first responders

35:16

others that were injured. It was just an incredible,

35:19

amazing night. And one

35:21

of the more important reasons that

35:23

happened is because Big and Rich came back in town

35:25

and they they played for this crowd

35:27

at the Old Packed Orleans Arena last night,

35:30

and John Rich joins us, as well

35:32

as Thomas Gunderson. You may remember that

35:34

he was shot in the leg and when President Trump

35:37

came to the hospital, he wasn't able

35:39

to stand, but he stood up for the president. And then he posted

35:41

on Facebook, I'll always stand for my President.

35:44

And then we find out that he really stood for Melania.

35:46

He didn't stand for the president. He told me privately,

35:49

Uh, guys, welcome to the shop. That was a great show last

35:51

night, John unbelievable. And then I

35:54

never knew you owned a bar in Vegas called the

35:56

Redneck Riviera. Then you guys played,

35:59

Then you guys played an other two hours. You

36:01

kept me out to like three in the morning, and

36:03

I have half a voice today, but I had

36:05

the most fun I've had hid

36:08

on. You kept me out till three o'clock. Come

36:11

on you. But

36:14

you know I watched you guys perform,

36:17

and I there's such a passion

36:19

in what you do. I saw I saw people

36:22

crying last night. When you're singing

36:24

the eighth of November, we're gonna show that. Definitely, it's

36:26

gonna be on the show tonight. I actually film that

36:28

too. That's got to be an incredible

36:30

experience for you, night in and night out. Well,

36:33

Sean, I mean, we are fire breathing

36:35

Americans, you know, and when we

36:37

take the stage, Um, we

36:39

feel so blessed to be

36:42

able to do that, you know, with our lives, to

36:44

make music. And and you know, music

36:47

is a it's a big unifier. You

36:49

know, it doesn't matter and you saw this

36:51

last night. Doesn't matter your politics

36:53

or where you're from or anything else. When

36:56

you play those songs and everybody like the

36:58

eighth of November or you've seen God Blessing My America,

37:00

or even crazy songs like Save Horse Out

37:02

a Cowboy, you'll see all these people jumping

37:05

in and and this energy like you

37:07

saw last night. Man, it's just over the

37:09

top. And I think that is It's

37:11

really the comment that I would love America

37:14

to focus on is is seeing

37:17

their fellow Americans standing there together with

37:19

their iPhones in the air. Those lights are shouting

37:21

up and they're singing at the top of their lungs with every

37:24

omp of patriotism and passion

37:27

that they have. That to me is

37:29

really what America is all about. And

37:31

it's just an honor every time we step on

37:33

the stage and are able to lead those songs.

37:36

I was. I'd be honest, there was an

37:39

energy last night in that arena

37:42

that I imagine was just a cut

37:44

above. You know, when I walked out in the crowd

37:46

a couple of times and I met people. I actually

37:48

met the guy that we hear

37:51

on the audio tape when

37:53

the dispatch when he says, all right on

37:55

the on the thirty second floor kind of breach, gonna

37:57

breach the first guy in and I met last

38:00

night. A woman came up to me,

38:03

and so many women came up to me and

38:05

telling me the story is about how their husbands,

38:08

what heroes that nobody knows about.

38:10

And you know, you're right, the shooter didn't care if

38:12

they're Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative.

38:15

He just wanted to kill Americans. He didn't

38:17

care who he was killing. And you know that's

38:19

evil in our time. And uh,

38:22

you know one of the victims is with us here, Thomas

38:24

Gunderson. I mean, you know you're

38:26

you're gonna you're gonna be in rehab for how long

38:28

Thomas for your leg? Probably a

38:31

couple more months, maybe even a few more months. We'll see

38:33

how it goes, Yeah, you look pretty good last

38:35

night, and I think you're I

38:37

think your girlfriend is way out of

38:39

your league. I'm just saying. And even your mom and dad told

38:41

me they thought, so, oh she is.

38:44

I got lucky. Nah, you

38:46

guys are a great couple. I was having fun with you all last

38:48

night, you know. And

38:51

it's funny because this wasn't supposed

38:53

to be political. It became political because

38:56

that's what everybody, I guess does And

38:58

the president walked in your rule and

39:00

you made a point to stand, and then

39:03

you wrote why you stood tell us absolutely

39:05

honestly has nothing to do with

39:08

who our president is, but just that, in

39:10

fact is the president. You know. It's it's respect

39:12

for my country. It's the country that is giving

39:15

me everything that I have, and I

39:17

feel that, you know, I owe everything back to this

39:19

country, and I feel like everybody

39:21

should feel that way. You know, there's a lot worse places

39:24

to live. I truly believe this is the greatest

39:26

place in the world. And uh, you know,

39:28

I've been given every opportunity because of where I

39:30

live. And I will always stand for

39:33

for my country, my anthem, my flag, and

39:35

uh, you know, especially the president of United States is literally

39:38

the highest hell position in our country, so you better believe

39:40

no matter what kind of paint them. And I'm I'm standing

39:42

up and shaking that man or woman's hand. It's

39:45

a pretty inspiring moment. But then you told me

39:47

privately, you really just stood from Milania. Don't lie.

39:50

Oh absolutely, I could have been shot through both legs. That's

39:55

all right, that's the American spirit, you know, John

39:58

Rich And not so why ust night?

40:00

John, and and and Big Kenny

40:02

and I and a bunch of other guys were sitting around

40:04

in his bus before the show, and we're talking

40:07

about communication, and I said, John,

40:10

I do radio three hours a day and it's

40:12

a warmth medium. You've got to connect heart to

40:14

heart, soul to soul on radio, and

40:16

people will figure out in ten seconds if you're a phony,

40:18

because you can't fake it three hours a

40:20

day, five days a week in radio, and the

40:23

same thing on TV. Although you can make

40:25

a lot of points without saying a lot of words. I

40:27

could just roll my eyes and people know what I'm

40:29

thinking. But I've always believed

40:32

that the most powerful form

40:34

of communication is music.

40:37

And this is what you do so well, John, When

40:39

when what made you want to follow

40:41

this crazy career that you're on. Well,

40:44

you know, I grew up out in Texas. My

40:46

dad is a is a nondenominational

40:50

Bible banging preacher, and

40:52

he played guitar in church. And I

40:54

watched my dad, you know, be able

40:56

to get up and lead people and and sing

40:59

to people and and impact people. And you

41:01

know, if you got a great dad like that,

41:03

every son wants to be like your dad. And

41:05

so I picked up the guitar at an early age. And

41:08

I really never thought I would have a shot at

41:11

at making music for a living. I mean, it's never really

41:13

entered my mind. I just did it because my

41:16

dad did it, and and it was it was

41:18

you know, it's like you said, it's a it's a soulful

41:21

experience to be able to pick up an instrument

41:23

and sing something to somebody. But man,

41:25

you know, I'll let go the sentiments of the

41:27

gentleman on the phone, which we had a chance to meet

41:30

last night. We live in a place, you

41:32

know, we woke up this morning in our eyes

41:35

opened, and we are living in America.

41:38

And we live in the only place in the world

41:40

that literally has no limits to

41:43

what we're allowed to go for and achieve.

41:45

And we can dream as big as we want and work

41:48

as hard as we want to to go after

41:50

those dreams. And that's what I did with music.

41:52

You know, if you think about our constitution,

41:55

Sean, it never promised you, promises

41:58

you happiness. I think that's a big conception

42:00

with a lot of people that you're promised

42:02

happiness. No you're not. You're not promised happiness

42:06

to pursuit of happiness. You're promised

42:08

a pursuit of it. And the pursuit

42:11

of happiness is what gets

42:13

me up every day and and charges

42:15

me up. And when I'm able to grab

42:17

that guitar and walk out on stage like we

42:19

did here in Las Vegas for Vegas Strong

42:22

and sing to those people and see them singing

42:24

back, you saw it. That that is a connection

42:27

that that nobody can ever break

42:29

that. And only in America can you accomplish

42:31

something like that. It's just an amazing

42:33

I urge everybody, um until

42:36

I'm back on the air. You're well, you're gonna see it tonight

42:38

on Hannity. And and we have

42:40

all the highlights. I made sure we put in God

42:42

Bless America the eighth of November,

42:45

and and I put in Save a horse

42:47

right a cowboy because the

42:50

right man you gotta put that we put

42:52

And then you guys went over to your bar and

42:55

you played another two hours and the crowd

42:57

was going nuts. I mean, it was just a fun of easy

43:00

night. And Thomas, how fun was that you got

43:02

to bring your parents there? And um,

43:05

I had a blast last night just meeting everybody.

43:08

Everybody was they were back to celebrating

43:11

freedom and fun. That's what I felt last night was

43:13

that, honestly was the best time in my life. I'm

43:15

not kidding. It's a it's so fun to meet,

43:18

you know, people like like John and m mc kenny.

43:20

You know, it's it's we look up to them so much,

43:22

you know, and at the end of day, there are normal people

43:24

just like us, but you know there are idols, you know in country

43:27

music. And being able to sit with them

43:29

and just talk to John for a little while and hang

43:31

out with him and honestly meant the world to me into

43:34

my girlfriend, you know, going through what we have lately,

43:36

and uh, just amazing

43:38

people, you know, so gracious and so kind

43:40

to us. It was really cool. So one kind

43:43

of cool moment last night is the

43:45

President heard about the concert

43:47

John and he's a big fan of yours, and

43:50

he tweeted out that you all were

43:52

playing last night with the words Vegas

43:54

Strong. How cool was that for you? Man? What

43:57

I mean, what else can you ask for? You

43:59

know? I mean with the President Nited States recognizes

44:02

what you're doing here in Las Vegas. I thought it was

44:04

a huge gesture from

44:07

him. Pardon me, Si, we stayed

44:09

up, like a huge jure from

44:12

I've been struggling for three hours. Tell me about

44:15

more. No, But he tweeted and he had

44:17

hashtag Vegas Strong. And you

44:20

know what that hashtag Vegas

44:22

Strong is. The police commissioner

44:25

here in the city of Las Vegas set

44:27

up a go fund Me account under Vegas

44:29

Strong, and I think it's up over like twelve million dollars.

44:32

And there's a lot of people out here, you know that that

44:35

I wound up in the hospital. They're trying to pay deductibles

44:37

on their insurance. Some people don't have insurance.

44:39

I mean, it's just a lot going on.

44:42

And and for him to be able to tweet that and

44:44

alert that many people to to what's

44:46

going on and give them a chance to donate to that was

44:49

really a huge thing. And we're very gratefully did

44:51

it. You know, I went to the hospital. This is

44:53

the day that I met Thomas and as and

44:55

your parents are wonderful. I I gotta

44:58

I gotta kick out of your mom and dad. I think they're

45:00

great people and and a

45:02

tribute to the man you've become, Thomas.

45:05

Anyway, and I went there and everybody, it was

45:07

the day after the President had been there. The

45:09

hospital staff, the administrators, the doctors,

45:12

the surgeons, all the people that saved all those

45:14

lives. I mean, they were blown away

45:16

that the president, you know, took the time

45:18

and stayed there much longer than he had ever planned

45:21

and wanted to meet everybody. So um

45:24

anyway, listen, I want to thank you all. John,

45:26

what you did and and you and Big Kenny

45:28

to pull this all together was amazing. All

45:31

of the people from Beasley Radio, all the people

45:33

from Cox, all the people from you know,

45:36

Rascal Flats, Fox News. To pull this

45:38

off in a week like you did was pretty amazing. And

45:41

uh, I just want to say thank you for what you've done

45:43

for this great city to help them heal. It was. It was

45:45

a special night. It's all gonna air tonight

45:58

all you folks up there listening to Sean watch

46:01

46:03

to do so, you should make a donation towards that. Some

46:05

of the greatest Americans that we have

46:09

46:11

a lot of this, so you know, all the support we can

46:13

46:34

46:42

and the nineteen

46:45

sixty five thirty

46:47

Americans were over run over

46:50

twelve hundred d come thank

46:55

you, Oliver Is except

46:58

for everybody nows and two months they

47:03

47:05

came back to the States and

47:07

he spent two years at Walter

47:09

Read medical sent getting over

47:11

his injuries. What

47:14

would you like to know what he did? But

47:16

he finally walked out to Walter Read.

47:22

I said, would you like to know what he

47:24

did? What? He walked out and Walter, Hey,

47:30

look out that hospital and he

47:32

signed up and did three more

47:35

tours of bed Niles. What he

47:38

did for the United States signed

47:43

and he's a hero. We

47:46

dedicate this song to him, all

47:49

of our veterans, all

47:51

of our active duty, and

47:54

the boys and girls overseas and harms

47:56

fleet. This is called the Age

47:58

of November. All

48:14

right, we'll take a break when we come back. Well, we're

48:16

one week away from the release of

48:18

my movie, Let There Be Light. Deon

48:21

Warwick did the music. She'll join

48:23

us. Michael Francis, he's the pastor

48:26

in the movie. Kevin Sorbo stars in

48:28

the movie. They're all coming up next. As we continue

48:30

from Big Alight now till the top

48:33

of the hour. Right on our toll free telephone number, it's

48:35

eight hundred nine for one sean. So we're

48:37

in Vegas. Obviously, we had the big show

48:39

last night and honoring the

48:42

first responders, the families, the

48:44

victims, and it was an amazing, amazing

48:47

night. Um, we're staying in Vegas

48:49

tonight because we have another incredible

48:51

event that I'm going to be a part of. So

48:53

one week from today, we're

48:56

going to open with my first movie

48:58

that I'm the executive producer of, and it's

49:00

called Let There Be Light. And so we decided

49:03

to do something special here while we were

49:05

in Vegas, and we invited a hundred

49:08

and twenty seven pastors different

49:10

denominations. This this is its

49:12

faith based, but it doesn't hit you over

49:14

the head with religion. Hollywood is so

49:17

formulaic. It's the same actors,

49:19

it's the same formula it's a it's

49:21

Batman, it's it's Superman. And

49:24

so often the values of Christians

49:27

and the values of Conservatives are just

49:29

outright dismissed by Hollywood. And

49:31

we've seen a lot about Hollywood values

49:34

in the last number of days. So we

49:37

decided and we got together with a lot

49:39

of great people that we were going to present

49:41

to the city of Vegas and early

49:44

showing of the movie, and that's going to take place

49:46

tonight. We have all the pastors, I think

49:48

it's sold out, unfortunately, and right

49:51

here in Vegas, and we're all going to get together

49:53

and we're gonna show it to people. By the way, it's

49:55

a free screening, and Kevin Sorbo,

49:57

Sam Sorbo star in the movie. Kevin

50:00

Sorbo is gonna join us in a minute. Um. As

50:02

we started this project step

50:04

by step, incredible people um

50:07

joined us in the process. And one of the

50:09

more exciting moments is when Dion

50:12

Warwick was just one of the most

50:14

renowned singers, entertainers

50:16

and performers that I've known

50:18

my whole life growing up in all her music

50:21

is she decided to do the soundtrack

50:24

for our movie, which we're really excited

50:26

about. And the pastor

50:28

in the movie is a guy by the name of Michael

50:30

Francis Uh and his

50:32

real life story I always knew. He

50:35

grew up the son of a notorious

50:37

underboss in New York under the Colombo

50:39

crime family. He had a hint out on him.

50:42

He went to prison and while in solitary,

50:44

because he had to be in solitary rose he probably

50:46

would have been whacked. Um, he got a Bible

50:49

from one of the guards at the prison and

50:51

it changed his life and he became a real life

50:53

pastor. And he plays a pastor in the movie

50:55

and I've been telling you a little bits and pieces about the

50:57

story, but it's very contemporary. You have Kevin

51:00

Sorbo playing a glitterati

51:02

paparazzi, very popular

51:05

l a New York type of guy with

51:08

the with the young model, abandoned his

51:10

family. He wrote a book Aboarding God.

51:12

The movie starts out with some of the evil that we

51:14

all deal with every day in the world, and

51:16

then beyond that evil, it's a personal

51:19

story and a personal journey. So as he

51:21

writes this book Aboarding God, he's debating a Christian

51:24

and the crowd is just eating him

51:26

up and not liking the Christian

51:28

message. And then we find out, well, why is

51:30

he an atheist? Why did he abort God?

51:33

And there's more twists and turns and emotional

51:35

twists and turns in this movie that I think you could ever

51:37

you know, imagine. I'm very proud of it.

51:40

Now, before we get to Dion Warwick and Michael

51:42

Francis and Kevin Sorbo,

51:45

54:47

the movie. Let There Be Light. Kevin Sorbo

54:49

is the main star in the movie, and he's

54:52

the horrible person that makes a

54:54

transformation. UM, welcome

54:56

all of you to the to the program. Dion

54:58

Warwick. I've been a fan of your since I was young.

55:01

Your voice is amazing. You being in

55:03

this project has added so much

55:05

to it and I can't tell you how beautiful that

55:08

song is. That's amazing. Could you tell us about the song?

55:10

Yeah? How are you? First of all, I'm

55:12

good, except my voice is a little shot from screaming

55:15

last night at this biggest strong

55:17

concert. Anyway,

55:19

Well, the song, uh, it's something very

55:22

very proud of written by my son, Damon

55:24

Elliot, and his vision was

55:27

to literally let people know

55:29

that there there

55:32

is a solution. And as it turns

55:34

out, he called me his money. I

55:36

need a voice, okay, and

55:38

I did my part on it

55:41

that. He also recruited some most incredible

55:45

talents to participate as well. You're

55:47

here Gladys Knight, who is just over

55:50

the moon. As far as I'm concerned with what

55:53

he gave to the project, the

55:55

Unladey Maya really Ray Cyrus.

55:57

I mean, he just went all out to get people

55:59

who head same mindset would

56:02

be nice to do what the film is about. The

56:06

song represented, So I can not be proud

56:09

of being a part of this project and

56:11

more proud of affect that my baby. The

56:15

idea, well, he has a beautiful heart obviously

56:17

if he put that together. I mean the words in

56:19

that song really touch people. Kevin,

56:21

let me go to you. I never thought or

56:24

dreamed i'd really be in the music business. And

56:26

I remember watching your hit movie God's

56:28

Not Dead, and I remember interviewing you

56:31

at the time and I said, you know, if there's ever a project,

56:33

maybe we can do one together. And you and

56:35

Sam, your wife and Dan Gordon came

56:38

to my office one day. I don't think we talked

56:40

more than fifteen twenty minutes, and you

56:42

told me the whole story of Let There Be Light,

56:44

and I just fell in love with the story, and

56:47

and we've just been working on the project ever

56:49

since. I mean, it's an amazing the end

56:51

product. It's one of the things I'm most proud of

56:53

in my entire career because I think this is a movie

56:56

that needed to be made. It's contemporary,

56:58

it touches people's hearts, it's everything

57:01

that I think Hollywood doesn't do. It's

57:03

it's about real issues, real life crisis

57:05

and conflict that people have. And it also

57:08

offers a good message for people that I think

57:10

is often ignored out of Hollywood. So you know,

57:12

I was only too honored to join with you to do it.

57:14

And um, from your end, you guys did a fabulous

57:17

job. Well, thank you. It is interesting. I hoping

57:19

came together because you know, my wife, Sam came

57:21

up the idea. She started writing the script. She brought in

57:24

Dan Gordon, who was a dear friend. And

57:26

people may know Dan or may not know. Albody's one of

57:28

the top writers in Hollywood. He wrote The Hurricane

57:30

with Denzel Washington, The World Wider for Kevin

57:32

Costner. But anyway, Sam and got together

57:34

benish the script. I read the script. Three days

57:37

later, you called me and said, Hey, I'm

57:39

ready to do this. I'm gonna do something. You guys have

57:41

anything, and my wife says, that's my

57:43

script. We flew up to New York. Dan Gordon

57:46

did the pitching, and in that twenty minutes

57:48

that Dan talk, you didn't interrupt him

57:50

once. I thought we should haven't done the documentary

57:52

on that, because I thought that was pretty amazing. You

57:56

were spell bound by the script and the story

57:58

that he had to tell. Listen, I've I've and that

58:00

there's some of the movie business. I don't like

58:02

the business part of it, but what you guys

58:05

have created the artistic part of

58:07

it. You know, I have now shown this to over two

58:09

hundred people. I've done my own focus groups, and

58:11

you actually have up on your website. You know, some

58:13

testimonials of some airings

58:16

that we've had focused groups with people,

58:18

and it's unbelievable of

58:20

people that see this movie cry. And you

58:23

start out as a very conflicted individual

58:25

that hates God, abording God, and then

58:27

we find out the reason why, and and

58:29

you're living a life that really you shouldn't

58:31

be living, and you left your family, and you're drinking too

58:34

much and you're doing drugs, and and we find out

58:36

the reason you wrote abording God, um

58:38

and you had lost a son at nine years old,

58:41

and the transformation is amazing. Part

58:43

of that transformation comes when

58:45

you meet with Michael Francis,

58:48

who has one of the most incredible life

58:50

stories of anybody because he is a real life

58:52

pastor. Michael, Welcome to the program. And

58:55

you grew up the son of a notorious under

58:57

boss in the Colombo crime family,

59:00

and your own father at one point in your life signed

59:02

off on a hit on you, and you found yourself in

59:04

isolation in prison and your life changed.

59:06

Yea, Sean, it's good to be back on again. And I just

59:09

want to mention really something really quick. Dion

59:11

Walwick. She doesn't remember, I'm sure, but she played

59:13

at my prom. My dad actually brought

59:16

in Copacabannett at night and

59:19

we all had a great time. Yeah, it was way

59:21

Lance had a good time that it

59:25

was great, it was terrific. Well, yes, you and I

59:27

was. I was very attracted to the script.

59:29

I'm really into apologetics. I love

59:32

Kevin and I'll be honestly, I never acted

59:34

before. They had to twist my aunt to do it because

59:36

I've been myself and documentaries, but I

59:38

said, listen, I'll do it as long as I don't ruin the film.

59:41

You know, I was playing myself, So it was was

59:44

pretty easy and a great cast and great crew,

59:46

and I think it's a wonderful story. I think

59:48

people are really going to be touched by it, very entertaining,

59:51

very well. But you're also a pastor

59:53

in real life. Now, how long have you been a pastor? Well,

59:56

no, I'm not a pastor, Sean. I go out,

59:58

you know, throughout the world and share my cestimony.

1:00:00

So I mean, I'm not ordained or anything like

1:00:02

that, which I think, you know, it

1:00:04

could be a benefit because you know, I tell

1:00:07

people I'm just you. You know, we all

1:00:09

have a story to tell. Mine might be a little bit

1:00:11

more dramatic, but at the end of the day. You

1:00:13

know, it's a story about Christ, mercy and

1:00:15

grace in my life. And there's no doubt in

1:00:17

my mind that He saved my life. He put

1:00:20

a woman in my life that led me to Christ, and over

1:00:22

the past twenty years had so many challenges

1:00:24

and struggles when He got me through all of it, and

1:00:27

uh, you know, I'm just happy to tell the story whenever

1:00:29

I can, you know, Kevin, one of the other reasons

1:00:32

I wanted to be a part of the project besides the

1:00:34

great story. And once we agreed

1:00:36

to do the film, once I took on my executive

1:00:38

producer role, I'm a big believer

1:00:41

you let people do their job. And you

1:00:43

know, you told me where you're gonna be filming, You told

1:00:45

me what the schedule you're gonna be on. We went

1:00:48

over the script, we did everything that was supposed

1:00:50

to do, and then when I started getting

1:00:52

the first pictures and first cuts, I began

1:00:54

to say, this is something magical

1:00:57

happening here. And I don't know if you've

1:00:59

had the same experience, but everybody I've shown

1:01:01

the film to, they all cry and it

1:01:03

touches people deeply. That doesn't

1:01:05

happen enough. When I go to the movies.

1:01:07

I like to be moved and touched and

1:01:10

vote and inspired and and so on and so

1:01:12

forth. There's a movie about Redemption's move

1:01:14

about faith, this movie about hope, and you know, we've

1:01:16

been doing quite two screens and getting testimonials.

1:01:19

Were just in Washington, d C. Last week

1:01:21

at the Value Voters Summit there and it

1:01:23

was amazing the responses from people coming

1:01:26

out. Sam was doing the testimonials on camera.

1:01:28

I was talking to people answering questions

1:01:31

and uh, just just you know, answer

1:01:33

me anything that to say. But there was a group of teenagers

1:01:35

that walked out and they're about fifteen, sixteen

1:01:37

years old, and one of the boys in that group, I wrote

1:01:39

him say that is the best movie I've ever seen. And

1:01:42

to get that from a teenage kid. What

1:01:44

all they want to do is go see visual effect

1:01:46

movies that you don't care about character development, you don't

1:01:49

care about what happened at the people. You see thousands

1:01:51

of people die in these smash him up movies.

1:01:53

This is a movie that is real life and it's going

1:01:55

to touch people. It's gonna there's something for everybody

1:01:57

in this movie. They'll be able to relate, they'll

1:02:00

be able to take something from it. And I don't want

1:02:02

to preach the choir with this movie, you know, I want I want

1:02:04

atheists to go, on agnostics to go. I want

1:02:07

people to get up there and look at this movie with an

1:02:09

open mind and open heart and come away with what

1:02:11

they come away with, because I know it's going to touch them.

1:02:13

I just gotta tell you, it's uh. It's been an

1:02:15

honor to do this project with you. It opens one

1:02:18

week from today. We have a special airing

1:02:20

of it at Trinity Life Center. Then I'm

1:02:22

going to be out on the road this week and I'm

1:02:24

gonna be in Dallas for two church services

1:02:27

with Dr Robert Jeffers at

1:02:29

his church and I'm excited about that. Then we're

1:02:31

gonna go see my buddy, Errol Scott,

1:02:33

who is in Cleveland. But anyway, let there

1:02:35

be light movie dot com and

1:03:26

we launched Let There Be Light, so

1:03:28

hopefully you can find a theater near you. On Hannity

1:03:30

dot Com tonight you will see the

1:03:33

incredible tribute

1:03:35

to first responders and victims in Vegas,

1:03:37

the Vegas Strong Event on Hannity

1:03:40

A special edition nine Eastern. Well,

1:03:43

I think the uranium sale to Russia

1:03:46

and the way it was done so underhanded,

1:03:49

with tremendous amounts of money being

1:03:51

passed, I actually think that's Watergate

1:03:54

modern age. How could you not know

1:03:57

that the Clinton team was paying for it? And

1:04:00

in someone in the Clinton campaign no, this Markel

1:04:02

I certainly did right. I'm

1:04:04

sure that there is a small group of folks that were aware

1:04:06

of the nature of the decision

1:04:08

to hire Fusion back in the spring of but

1:04:11

it was kept for reasons that I can understand

1:04:14

to a very select group, given the sensitive

1:04:16

nature of who they hired, a

1:04:18

former m I six agent, Christopher Steele. Uh.

1:04:21

This was the Democrats coming up with an

1:04:23

excuse for losing an election.

1:04:26

It's an election that's very hard for a Democrat

1:04:28

to lose because the electoral College is

1:04:30

said in such a way that it is very hard to

1:04:32

lose that election for a Democrat. They lost

1:04:35

it. They lost it very badly, at

1:04:37

very easily. I mean you look at the votes. It was

1:04:39

three or six to what to twenty three or

1:04:41

something. They lost it by a lot. They

1:04:44

didn't know what to say, so they made

1:04:46

up the whole Russia hoax. Now

1:04:49

it's turning out that the hoax

1:04:51

has turned around, and you look at what's

1:04:53

happened with Russia, and you look at the uranium

1:04:56

deal, and you look at the fake Dosier

1:04:58

So that's all turned around, all right.

1:05:00

So that was the President speaking out about

1:05:03

what we've been telling people now forever

1:05:06

We had big breaking news last night on

1:05:08

Hannity on the Fox News channel, and

1:05:11

the the FBI

1:05:13

informant that had infiltrated for some four

1:05:16

years now has had his NBA

1:05:18

lifted, meaning his nondisclosure agreement.

1:05:21

Remember back in two thousand and nine that the

1:05:23

FBI was able to have documents and

1:05:25

emails and tapes. And of course,

1:05:28

uh, uh the all

1:05:30

his own experience having been

1:05:32

an informant for four years, and this whole issue

1:05:34

of Vladimir Putin trying to corner the market

1:05:37

or uranium in America and now

1:05:39

he's finally going to be able to talk. I

1:05:41

assume first two congressional committees.

1:05:44

There are two in the House, one in the Senate. Uh.

1:05:46

The council for this FBI informant

1:05:49

is Victoria Tunsing, friend of this program,

1:05:52

and of course this man is at the center of

1:05:54

this whole uranium one investigation. Uh,

1:05:57

thank you Victoria for being with us. Jay

1:05:59

Sekulo from the American Center for Law and Justice

1:06:01

also Chief Council that the President is with us.

1:06:04

And by the way, congrats Jay Sekulo,

1:06:06

because I see that the I R

1:06:09

s uh in the case that you took on. Uh.

1:06:12

In other words, the i R S is admitted now

1:06:14

that the targeting of Tea Party groups did

1:06:16

in fact happen. That's your case, send.

1:06:19

They signed a consent order, and

1:06:21

Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General, today said

1:06:23

there was no excuse for the conducts. Hundreds

1:06:25

of organizations were affected by their actions,

1:06:28

and that today's settlement makes clear that the abuse

1:06:30

of power or not be tolerated. That's not from

1:06:32

me, that is from the Department of Justice

1:06:34

that was representing the I R S. Each settlement.

1:06:36

To those Tea Party and conservative groups that were targeted,

1:06:39

were thrilled with the outcome of that. Well, I had three separate

1:06:41

audits in just the last year. I wonder if

1:06:43

this is related to it, because I'm a conservative

1:06:45

and I always pay my taxes and it's

1:06:47

beyond aggravating and expensive when

1:06:49

they do this to you. But I think that was done in

1:06:52

reaction to the Tea Party

1:06:54

movement that was becoming effective. And once

1:06:57

they get bogged down with lawsuits, they can't spend

1:06:59

money or time on anything else. Well, and this one

1:07:01

went on for three years, but as I said, great

1:07:03

conclusion to the case, and very

1:07:06

glad that it's been rectified for our clients. Who all

1:07:08

now have their taxes and status, by the way, and a

1:07:10

declaratory action that the government

1:07:12

will not only not do that again, but what they did was inappropriate.

1:07:14

So good start for that. One's done. The people,

1:07:17

the people get the people get held accountable

1:07:19

for that. Lois Learner for example, Well,

1:07:21

it's the case was not against Lois Learner. Our

1:07:23

case was against I mean, Lois Learning was a defendant

1:07:25

in an official capacity. Shee course then was fired,

1:07:28

fired or quit or whatever they want to call it. She was gone.

1:07:30

So this goes to more of the policy and practices

1:07:32

of the Internal Revenue Service itself, so they

1:07:35

can no longer do what outrageous. Yeah,

1:07:37

it was outrageous, and the good news

1:07:39

is that's not happening again. We had a court

1:07:41

order to justify it. Something. All right, let me let me go

1:07:43

to Victoria. You're representing this FBI

1:07:45

informant, and I know there's only so much you're

1:07:48

able to share with us because of attorney

1:07:50

client privilege. But the

1:07:52

lifting of this nondisclosure agreement

1:07:54

is massive because apparently he

1:07:57

had what infiltrated for four years right

1:07:59

as it relates to this whole network

1:08:01

of people, including spies within the US

1:08:04

that we're working for Vladimir Putin

1:08:06

and Russia to get ahold of the

1:08:08

American uranium market. He was talking

1:08:11

to a lot of the Russians here in the United

1:08:13

States that were involved in this

1:08:15

uranium project to get the

1:08:17

uranium one deal authorized

1:08:20

by Sissius, and so he

1:08:23

heard all the conversations that went on and

1:08:25

what they were talking about, and now they were trying to influence

1:08:28

the US government. Um, he's

1:08:31

no longer bound, of course by the n D A

1:08:33

thank you, Fdi. But

1:08:36

now comes some hard part because

1:08:38

we're gonna have to prepare him for talking

1:08:41

to uh. It was the Senate Judiciary

1:08:43

Committee. First, do we know when that's going to

1:08:46

happen? Sean's happened

1:08:49

after I get back from California

1:08:52

weeks Okay, so you gotta you

1:08:54

gotta plan vacation. Sounds like with

1:08:56

Joe di Genova, your partner and your your

1:08:58

best friend. But um, okay, so

1:09:01

and saying at Jackie Autry's house, Grey

1:09:03

Twidter, but he needs

1:09:05

these two weeks to really get things

1:09:08

organized because until this occurred, he

1:09:10

didn't know if he was going to be doing something, you

1:09:12

know, with the government. So it's

1:09:14

actually well, he made the right decision

1:09:17

choosing you as his lawyer. I've known you for many years,

1:09:19

and I've known Joe for many years, and and

1:09:22

not only are you married, but you have this law firm

1:09:24

together. But you're two of the best lawyers in d C. J.

1:09:26

Sekul Obi and another one in an independent

1:09:29

firm. Um. So we

1:09:32

do know this. We do know that

1:09:34

the evidence from what I hear is overwhelming,

1:09:37

that the evidence is incontrovertible. That

1:09:39

the FBI, and that would mean the

1:09:42

Justice Department knew all about

1:09:44

Putin's intentions going back to two

1:09:46

thousand and nine and two thousand and ten. It

1:09:49

never made sense that anybody would

1:09:51

ever give of America's uranium

1:09:53

to a hostile actor or hostile

1:09:56

state like Russia and Putin. But they

1:09:58

did it anyway, and over sean.

1:10:01

Not just that even if it were a pure,

1:10:03

wonderful country, why would

1:10:05

you give up it to a to a foreign

1:10:07

country. But the the

1:10:10

FBI and the Justice

1:10:12

Department knew that these people were giving kickbacks

1:10:15

and that this company was corrupt, and this

1:10:17

was a company that was purchasing And

1:10:21

as I said last not on your show, my

1:10:25

client was told by the FBI that the

1:10:27

President was being brief President Obama

1:10:30

was being griefed on this conduct,

1:10:32

and that's that he was learning this information

1:10:35

prior to the octocision.

1:10:39

So we they knew about bribery,

1:10:41

they know about kick backs, they know about

1:10:44

extortion, they know about racketeering

1:10:47

and all of these crimes in two thousand and nine,

1:10:50

and they knew that the predicate of all

1:10:52

of this was sabotage

1:10:54

espionage of Vladimir Putin. So then

1:10:56

it raises a lot of different questions

1:10:58

here, and Jay, maybe I'll bring you in

1:11:01

on this from the extent that one

1:11:03

has to ask, if they knew this, why

1:11:05

didn't they stop any activity in all

1:11:07

activity of a foreign entity

1:11:10

infiltrating our country and trying to get

1:11:12

the foundational material of nuclear weapons.

1:11:14

Well, I think it raises the question that everybody

1:11:16

wants to know, and that is how much information did

1:11:18

President Obama have about this? When did he

1:11:20

know it? When did they tell him about the kickbacks, bribery,

1:11:23

extortions issues, And

1:11:25

how the world did they allow this to proceed

1:11:27

when they actually also got a plea

1:11:30

on one of one of the individuals did plea guilty

1:11:33

to money laundry charges too,

1:11:35

did for racketeering, So

1:11:38

the idea is how in the world,

1:11:40

as you said, Sean, is to me, the fundamental question is

1:11:42

we allowed percent of our uranium reserves

1:11:45

go to a company controlled by the Russians,

1:11:48

who, by the way, that company in and of itself

1:11:50

was under a current investigation, and that went to

1:11:52

Scyphius and was approved. That

1:11:55

does not add up. It just makes no

1:11:57

sense that they were not multiple

1:12:00

flegs in the way here that somebody would have said, this

1:12:02

is not an appropriate transaction to proceed.

1:12:04

And how is the FPIOCH conducting an investigation?

1:12:07

And Eric Holder, who also served on this

1:12:10

committee, did not raise it. But there's

1:12:12

but there's and with the amazing

1:12:14

thing, and I guess it's an issue of coincidence

1:12:16

maybe, but everybody that has now

1:12:19

been involved in this issue of

1:12:21

Trump Russia collusion, of which there is no

1:12:24

evidence. As a matter of fact, I would

1:12:26

not be surprised if at some point

1:12:28

in the very near future the president is completely

1:12:31

and totally exonerated of

1:12:33

any of these phony allegations that have

1:12:35

been reported in false reporting, in fake

1:12:37

news for the last year. But we

1:12:40

we've got to go back to a fundamental question

1:12:42

here, and that is Victoria.

1:12:44

You have Robert Muller, he was the head

1:12:46

of the FBI. I would assume he knew. I

1:12:48

got to assume that Eric Holder knew. I've

1:12:51

got to assume that rod Rosenstein was

1:12:53

overseeing this entire investigation

1:12:55

with your client. And I've got to assume.

1:12:58

And we've been told that it made it into the presidential

1:13:00

Daily Briefing of Barack Obama back in two

1:13:02

thousand and nine. But yes, his administration

1:13:06

still continue to push forward to give

1:13:08

permission for Vladimir Putin to control

1:13:11

of our uranium. But let's not leave out this factor,

1:13:13

Sean, and that is that today we're

1:13:16

so used to talking about it. We haven't

1:13:18

neglected to talk about HRC

1:13:20

Hillary Rodham clinton involvement

1:13:22

and that she sat on Cyphius and that Bill

1:13:25

Clinton got five dollars for a

1:13:27

speech in Russia paid for by bankers.

1:13:30

By the way, but Victoria, I don't mean interruption. The

1:13:32

bankers. This was Renaissance Bank. They

1:13:34

had a financial interest in uranium one.

1:13:37

I was just getting there. I was sorry,

1:13:39

I'm sorry, sorry, I'm a talk show

1:13:42

host. Yes, no,

1:13:45

And they were all former in Russian

1:13:48

intelligence people, and they were they

1:13:50

were promoting the sale of stock

1:13:52

of this of Uranian one and

1:13:55

they pay him five grand. He meets with Putin

1:13:57

while he's there, and then of course the Clinton

1:13:59

found Dation gets tens of millions

1:14:01

of dollars from the people involved in

1:14:03

the sale to the hit

1:14:06

people with uranium one. UM. That

1:14:08

is an important factor. And he supported

1:14:11

the uranium one deal while there,

1:14:14

and he first tried to use his own wife's

1:14:16

state department to get permission to

1:14:19

meet with people that represented there

1:14:22

their nuclear energy industry,

1:14:25

and then he didn't get permission, so he just went straight

1:14:27

to Vladimir and then we've got all the money

1:14:29

that was kicked back to the foundation. Jay. Yeah,

1:14:32

so this is in Victoria is

1:14:34

done a great job of getting this u NDA

1:14:37

lifted. Uh And it includes, as

1:14:39

you mentioned, includes the Clinton Foundation, rostom

1:14:41

ten Action, Ranium one, and individuals. And it's

1:14:43

not limited that as but but limited

1:14:45

to anything related to those people. So we could go further.

1:14:47

But here's the question that I

1:14:50

I am pondering in Victoria may have the answer to this.

1:14:53

It's great that the House and the Senate are going to do

1:14:55

the investigations of all this. The question

1:14:57

is what is the Department of Justice doing with this

1:14:59

information and what is the FBI doing And

1:15:01

maybe we don't know yet, and maybe there's investigations

1:15:04

going on. But House and sent in investigation

1:15:06

proms. I think it's great you get you'll get answers

1:15:08

to questions. But I wonder what what

1:15:10

is the ultimate asked this? Where

1:15:13

does this end? Where does it end? All

1:15:15

right, I'll tell you what. Stay right there, let's go where

1:15:17

does this end? As well? We'll pick it up when we get back.

1:15:20

More with Victoria Tunsing. She is

1:15:22

the council for the FBI. Informant

1:15:25

that now, as of late last night, just as

1:15:27

we were going on the air nine Eastern on Fox,

1:15:29

they lifted the non disclosure agreement, which

1:15:31

means he can now tell everybody,

1:15:34

starting with Congress, about his story,

1:15:36

present his evidence that he has involving

1:15:39

this deal J secular. Big win

1:15:41

for him on this I R S case today, big

1:15:43

news for the A c l J where the I R

1:15:45

S admitted they were targeting tea party groups.

1:15:48

Uh. And also he's the President's council. We'll get

1:15:50

to all of this and a lot more, one

1:15:53

Seawan told Free Telephone Numbers. We continue

1:15:56

our investigation, quick break right

1:15:58

back. We'll continue all right, As we continue

1:16:00

Victoria Tunsing is the council

1:16:02

for the FBI informant at the

1:16:04

center of this Uranium one investigation.

1:16:07

J Seculo one a big case today as

1:16:09

it relates to the I R S admitting they

1:16:11

targeted team party, individuals

1:16:13

and groups. Uh. And also the

1:16:16

lead count what are the lead counsels for the president?

1:16:19

All right, so let's let's pick it up where we

1:16:21

left off. Jay, you were asking Victoria question.

1:16:24

Yeah, and that is so we now know that the House

1:16:26

Committee on Oversight Government

1:16:28

Reform and House Permanent Let Committee on Intelligence

1:16:31

are going to be investigating the Senate Committee on Judiciary

1:16:33

and said Victoria did a phenomenal job of getting

1:16:36

this NDA lifted. The question is what is the

1:16:38

FBI Department of Justice do once they get

1:16:40

information, let's say, from the House and Senate or is

1:16:42

there already independent investigations?

1:16:45

Because everyone's asking me, I'm sure they're asking

1:16:47

you, Sean, I'm probably asking Victoria as well. Where

1:16:49

does this go? We're special

1:16:51

council because because it would

1:16:53

look awful for Jeff Sessions to

1:16:56

be over an investigation when he was there

1:16:58

with Trump staying locker out, Rod

1:17:01

Rosenstein is precluded

1:17:03

from doing it. He's conflicted out because

1:17:05

he was a U S attorney over the case. Rod

1:17:08

Rosenstein was U S attorney in Maryland,

1:17:10

which was the office that that was overlooked.

1:17:12

Then Robert Mueller was the head of the FBI. So

1:17:15

neither one, none, all those people can be involved in this

1:17:17

case. And my wrong, Victoria, you know, you're

1:17:19

absolutely right. I mean just the appearance

1:17:21

of a conflict today in back of a conflict

1:17:24

because but their conduct is it has

1:17:26

to be examined in the course of any investigation

1:17:30

of this matter. And it's completely

1:17:33

independent from uh, you

1:17:36

know, you got the whole GPS fusion thing yesterday with

1:17:38

the d n C and Hillary Clinton's campaign, Uh,

1:17:41

continuing the funding of all that, that's an issue

1:17:43

that's going to be evaluated. This uranium

1:17:45

one transaction is not within the purview

1:17:47

of the special council, this special counsel Robert

1:17:50

Mueller, So this would goes to a special council.

1:17:52

It would have to be a separate one set up just for this.

1:17:55

And this would be again if you look

1:17:57

at the nature and scope of it, it's it's it's

1:17:59

you know, it's a significant issue. But again the House

1:18:01

and Senate started the question is and and

1:18:03

then as Victoria saying, the Special Council, maybe the

1:18:05

way they go on this Victoria last word, I

1:18:08

don't know what's in the purview of this investigation

1:18:11

that Bob Muller's doing. It's so wide ranging.

1:18:13

I can't even figure out what the crime is. So,

1:18:15

but you're absolutely right that it

1:18:18

should not be going to my client. I'll be very

1:18:20

clear there. Alright, guys who've been

1:18:22

amazing, I'll be honest. I don't but for

1:18:24

Peter Schwitzer two years ago, but

1:18:27

for the work of people like Sarah

1:18:29

Carter and John Solomon and and

1:18:32

pushing it on this show knowing that there was

1:18:34

a lot of unanswered questions here,

1:18:37

I don't know if we'd be where we are today. And Victoria,

1:18:39

you representing the FBI informant

1:18:41

is the best possible news for him because

1:18:44

he's gonna have great representation. And Jay,

1:18:46

this matters on every level because of all

1:18:48

the garbage that has been falsely

1:18:51

um leveled against the president. So it's

1:18:54

uh, pretty yeahc

1:18:57

NBC picked it up. Yet No, No, the

1:18:59

same people that we're talking about how horrible

1:19:02

Russia is, horrible, Vladimir

1:19:04

Putin is now they don't show any interest

1:19:07

because it doesn't fit their agenda, which

1:19:09

is the extension of the Democratic Party.

1:19:12

Anyway, Thank you all, We appreciate it. Uh,

1:19:14

we'll have a lot more on this coming up. Uh.

1:19:17

You're gonna hear about Fusion GPS in the next

1:19:19

segment. That's straight ahead. We got our friends

1:19:21

Kevin and Sam Sorbo. The movie debuts

1:19:23

1:20:01

1:20:03

com. U UM

1:20:06

Customer Steel dossier, which is a controversial

1:20:08

document for lots of reasons. UM. Quoting

1:20:11

from that, a lot of it has been proven up. Do you believe

1:20:13

anything about that dossier? Oh? I think

1:20:16

it should be taking a look at. I think

1:20:18

they should really read it, understand

1:20:21

it, analyze it, and determine

1:20:23

what's fact what may not be fact.

1:20:26

We already know that the part about the

1:20:28

coverage that they have on him what

1:20:30

sex actions, is supposed

1:20:33

to be true. My focus today is explore

1:20:35

how many claims within Steele's dossier are

1:20:38

looking more and more likely as though

1:20:40

they are accurate. But dossier definitely seems

1:20:42

right on these points. A quid pro quel

1:20:44

relationship seems to exist between the Trump campaign

1:20:47

and Putin's Russia. There's a lot in the dossier

1:20:49

that has yet to be proven, but increasingly, as

1:20:51

we'll hear throughout the day, allegations are checking

1:20:54

out the famous dossier, which is

1:20:56

getting a lot more credibility now than it did well. I

1:20:58

think that's important, right that the dossier, right,

1:21:00

which looked sort of out there at first,

1:21:02

is getting truer and true and truers facts come

1:21:05

out. The Clinton campaign apparently conducted

1:21:07

opposition research, as every campaign does

1:21:09

on their opponent. They got back apparently

1:21:11

this very salacious and out infamous

1:21:14

dossier, which they never used. In fact,

1:21:16

didn't even reach the press until after the

1:21:18

election was over. They never used it. What I

1:21:20

have learned I've heard about the dossier,

1:21:23

it's about his involvement with women,

1:21:26

it's about possibly prostitutes.

1:21:28

We were able crobbery in r Intel's

1:21:30

community assessment, which from other sources

1:21:33

in which we had very high compasses. So when

1:21:35

the President just referred to to speake dossier that

1:21:37

is false, I don't

1:21:39

think that's that's an accurate characterization

1:21:42

for the entirety of the dossier. Jared

1:21:44

Christier, anybody else who met with the Russian

1:21:47

in the last year, he knows it all.

1:21:49

It's all if he had a little excitement in some hotel

1:21:52

room in Moscow. I Spenny years ago that he's

1:21:55

got those pictures. He's looked at them a million times,

1:21:57

that said, well, we do want to hear from to

1:22:00

for steal. So far, a lot of what he has

1:22:02

alleged and the dossier has been

1:22:04

proven. We reported a number

1:22:06

of weeks ago that the intelligence community had

1:22:08

in fact confirmed some of the

1:22:10

elephant elements in the dossier, including

1:22:13

the particular meetings and conversations

1:22:15

detailed thew dossier took place in

1:22:17

the places and at the times as

1:22:19

described there So it directly

1:22:21

contradicts the president who has repeated from the

1:22:24

beginning that the dossier, like

1:22:26

many parts of the Russia investigation, is a hoax.

1:22:28

All right, twenty three now till the top of the

1:22:30

hour. So there you have all

1:22:33

these democrats, all of them

1:22:36

going on and the media pushing

1:22:38

the Steel dossier, Rachel Maddow,

1:22:41

Maxim Waters and Andre

1:22:43

Carson, Chris Matthews, Paul Bagala,

1:22:46

Donnie Deutsch, you know, James

1:22:48

Clapper, and it goes on from there

1:22:51

NonStop. They just go with it. They wanted to

1:22:53

believe every salacious detail

1:22:56

that was paid for, that

1:22:58

was made up by the Russias. Oh,

1:23:01

I guess they're colluding to help get Hillary

1:23:04

Clinton elected and impact the election.

1:23:06

And Hillary funded the whole entire

1:23:09

thing. Thor Halverson

1:23:12

is with us, and he's the CEO of the New

1:23:14

York based Human Rights Foundation, and

1:23:17

he's here to shed some light on Fusion

1:23:19

GPS, with whom he had a previous interaction

1:23:21

with and and dealings with that

1:23:24

we're pretty much unspeakable, he

1:23:26

says. They are smear artists, he

1:23:29

said, and what they've

1:23:31

learned is if you want to kill an investigation,

1:23:34

if you want to destroy a law enforcement

1:23:36

investigation, go after the witnesses

1:23:39

go after the whistleblowers. Wow,

1:23:41

shocking. Now, we also testified

1:23:43

in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee in July

1:23:46

of this year against Fusion GPS,

1:23:48

which, of course they're not going to testify before anybody,

1:23:51

and they're fighting a congressional subpoena.

1:23:53

Thor, Sir, welcome to the program. Thanks for being

1:23:55

Willis. Thank you for having me

1:23:58

on your program. Sean, all right, let's talk about

1:24:00

what you know about Fusion

1:24:02

GPS, Alice, How you got involved,

1:24:04

what you know and what people need to know? Sure?

1:24:08

Well, how I get into this was was

1:24:11

accidentally. I I was

1:24:13

made aware of a massive country

1:24:16

government contract fraud that was

1:24:18

taking place in the dictatorship of Venezuela.

1:24:21

In other words, um, someone gave

1:24:24

me information about a theft, a

1:24:26

theft of three billion dollars that

1:24:28

took place in the Chavez

1:24:31

government in Venezuela. So

1:24:33

I took the information. I thought it was outrageous.

1:24:35

These a bunch of guys in their

1:24:37

twenties were awarded power plants

1:24:40

contracts to build these power plants

1:24:42

in Venezuela, and they built

1:24:44

faulty power plants and walked off with the

1:24:46

money. So I figured I would

1:24:48

write about this circumstance in the United

1:24:50

States and alert the authorities, and

1:24:52

as much as the stolen Venezuelan

1:24:55

money UM was being laundered

1:24:57

through American banks. Well, to make

1:24:59

a long story short, the targets

1:25:02

of my investigation, the people that I was blowing

1:25:04

the whistle on, ended up hiring

1:25:07

Fusion GPS. They hired

1:25:09

Fusion GPS to go after those

1:25:12

of us who had been

1:25:14

talking about this investigation, talking

1:25:16

about this company, pointing out their

1:25:19

crimes and what Fusion GPS

1:25:21

did for them. UM in the case of

1:25:23

four different people, they couldn't

1:25:26

come up with anything tangible

1:25:28

about us that was negative, so they

1:25:31

just simply made it up and they

1:25:33

created these dossiers pretty

1:25:35

similar each, each of these dossiers making

1:25:38

the same allegations over and over again,

1:25:40

salacious allegations of outrageous

1:25:43

conduct that range from extortion

1:25:46

and rape to drug abuse

1:25:48

and pedophilia. And then they

1:25:51

shot these dossiers around to the media.

1:25:53

So, whereas we are trying to expose the

1:25:55

crime, they figured, here's

1:25:58

what we'll do to eliminate the whistle blowers.

1:26:00

Here's what we'll do to go after them. Let's

1:26:02

create dossiers and accuse them of

1:26:05

all sorts of horrible things. I read

1:26:07

and I read Katherine Herrige's

1:26:09

piece and Pam Brown's piece and on

1:26:12

Fox News dot com. And you

1:26:14

know what's what's amazing about this

1:26:16

is you know that you're saying that

1:26:19

they have a track record of intimidation and smear

1:26:21

tactics. But it's beyond that because

1:26:23

in your congressional testimony and

1:26:26

your first hand account here, you're

1:26:28

saying that they labeled you a

1:26:31

pedophile and extortion as the

1:26:33

drug trafficker because you criticize

1:26:36

one of their clients. Now, how

1:26:38

do you how do you know that they did all of

1:26:40

this? Okay, Well, it

1:26:42

starts off with the fact that the their

1:26:45

clients were being investigated by

1:26:47

the Wall Street Journal. As you know, the Wall Street Journal

1:26:50

is a serious outfit. They were

1:26:53

they were doing an investigation, they were writing

1:26:55

a story. The story was four thousand

1:26:57

words long. How do I know the story was

1:26:59

that long? As the reporter and I were in touch constantly,

1:27:02

we were sharing information. I was telling him about what

1:27:04

was going on. Before you know it, the

1:27:06

reporter was asked to visit Venezuela

1:27:09

and meet with the men who he was

1:27:11

writing about. When he gets to Venezuela

1:27:14

into the conference room of these guys

1:27:16

who stole billions of dollars. There's

1:27:19

one of the partners of Fusion GPS sitting

1:27:21

in the conference room. He also happens

1:27:24

to be formerly the

1:27:26

bureau chief for Latin America

1:27:28

for The Wall Street Journal. In other words,

1:27:31

the reporter walks into the room and

1:27:33

there's his former boss, who is now a partner

1:27:35

at Fusion GPS, saying to him,

1:27:38

all of these allegations are lies. These

1:27:40

are good men. They're just excellent

1:27:43

businessmen. You know, they earned these billions

1:27:45

and billions of dollars and you're

1:27:48

being played. Here's a dossier about

1:27:52

the men who are feeding you information.

1:27:54

Don't ask me how I know that they're the that

1:27:57

they are the ones feeding you information, But I do know

1:27:59

that here's the dossier. That's the first

1:28:01

time I heard the word Fusion GPS

1:28:04

when the Wall Street Journal says to me, I can't

1:28:06

believe my former boss is working for them.

1:28:09

By the way, they gave me a file on

1:28:11

you. That's the first time I

1:28:13

learned. And of course after that I started

1:28:15

learning more and more about them. Did

1:28:17

you get the file that they had

1:28:19

made on you? No, The

1:28:22

reporter read it to me. I know what

1:28:24

it contains, but he did not give

1:28:26

me a copy. I think the Wall Street Journal has internal

1:28:29

because I think it's based on what you're saying,

1:28:31

that you'd have a lawsuit here if

1:28:33

people you just can't make up out a whole

1:28:36

cloth that somebody's a pedophile

1:28:38

and extortionists and a drug trafficker.

1:28:41

I mean, you're you're, you're, you're

1:28:44

in the right neighborhood. I I

1:28:46

can't really tell you what my what

1:28:48

what I'm doing next, but let's just

1:28:50

say that subsequent to this, the

1:28:52

Wall Street Journal did nothing with this. In fact,

1:28:55

the reporter and the journal said with this,

1:28:57

this is full of this stuff is

1:28:59

hot air. We're not gonna pay any attention

1:29:01

to it. We're gonna keep doing our story. But

1:29:04

then they kept shopping it around and

1:29:06

Sean they found an out of work journalist

1:29:08

in Washington, d C. Someone who's been dismissed

1:29:11

from job after job, by the name

1:29:13

of Ken Silverstein. They

1:29:15

paid Ken Silverstein, and

1:29:18

Ken Silverstein published it on a left

1:29:20

wing website, one of these fringe

1:29:22

websites. He published an article

1:29:25

with these allegations in it, and

1:29:28

then they paid Fusion

1:29:30

GPS paid one of these sto

1:29:33

companies, the ones that focus on um

1:29:35

where things rank on a Google search,

1:29:38

and they pushed the story way

1:29:40

way up so that when you Google my name,

1:29:42

it's the first or second thing that pops

1:29:45

up. That's what Fusion GPS did.

1:29:47

By the way, a lot of people don't know you can do. There's

1:29:49

a whole there's a whole group of people

1:29:51

you can pay to either very stories

1:29:54

on Google and Yahoo or put

1:29:56

them up on top. And there's I guess the particular

1:29:58

methods that they use. The way you're saying that is true.

1:30:01

Um, so what happened since

1:30:04

this all happened to you? I mean, what is your

1:30:06

human rights group about? By the way, what do you I

1:30:08

mean? Do you work on issues involving We focused

1:30:11

on dictatorships. We focus on the

1:30:13

struggle against dictatorships, whether

1:30:15

it's Cuba, North Korea, Russia,

1:30:17

China, Venezuela and Gola. Our

1:30:20

goal is to do is to enter

1:30:22

that vacuum where the establishment organizations

1:30:25

aren't really focused on a lot of them

1:30:28

spend most of their time focusing on democracies

1:30:30

like the US stay right there, well well

1:30:33

more with thor Halverson

1:30:35

knows with us and he is uh

1:30:38

saying he's a victim of fusion.

1:30:40

GPS will get more of his story on

1:30:43

the other side of all of this as we continue

1:30:45

here on the Sean Hannity Show quick Break,

1:30:47

right back, we'll continue. I

1:30:55

welcome back. As we continue, Thor Halverson

1:30:58

knows with us and hey or how are you all right?

1:31:00

So I want to get back to this. Everybody

1:31:03

in the media is going with the same talking point.

1:31:05

Well, a Republican, a GOP operative

1:31:07

paid to begin the dossier

1:31:10

on Trump. And the fact of the matter

1:31:12

is that person got out long before Steele,

1:31:15

who made up all of these allegations

1:31:17

by paying Russians about

1:31:19

Donald Trump and the more salacious details.

1:31:21

So what they're saying isn't true. This was We

1:31:24

now know that Hillary Clinton and the Democrats

1:31:26

paid for the smear. Her campaign

1:31:28

paid for the whole smear. So you're saying

1:31:30

that this whole group is that why they're unwilling

1:31:33

to talk to Congress and and I know that

1:31:35

there's now they're trying to get into their bank accounts

1:31:37

to find exactly where the money came from that

1:31:40

led to the dossier that was used

1:31:42

by the media and used by Democrats to

1:31:45

try and impact this election. Even though

1:31:47

all of the information and the propaganda

1:31:49

and the misinformation came from Russia. Well,

1:31:51

ask yourself, Sean, why are they Why

1:31:54

did they admit to paying for the dossier?

1:31:56

They admitted to paying for the dossier

1:31:59

because of the subpoena. They want to

1:32:01

get ahead of the subpoena and say, judge,

1:32:04

don't go forward and open the bank accounts

1:32:06

of Fusion GPS because we don't

1:32:08

need to know that anymore, because now they're

1:32:10

fest up and the d n C has claimed

1:32:12

and the Hillary Clinton campaign that they

1:32:14

paid for the dossier. The reason why

1:32:17

is very simple, Sean. Those bank that

1:32:19

bank information contains the

1:32:22

information about payoffs two

1:32:24

dozens of journalists inside and outside

1:32:27

of the belt lay by Fusion GPS.

1:32:29

I am convinced that Fusion

1:32:32

GPS is engaged in regular

1:32:34

payola with journalists in order

1:32:36

to ensure that some stories get coverage

1:32:39

and some don't. In addition, what that

1:32:41

banking information contains is

1:32:44

information about the criminal entities,

1:32:46

most of them from abroad that higher

1:32:49

Fusion GPS it kills stories

1:32:51

to go after witnesses, to blow

1:32:54

up concepts when the criminal

1:32:57

entity is suffering or potentially

1:32:59

going to get in trouble this is what happened

1:33:01

in the Venezuela case. Derwick Associates

1:33:03

paid Fusion to end with

1:33:06

the credibility of the witnesses and to

1:33:08

obstruct justice. Usan GPS doesn't

1:33:10

make a lot of money from its American clients.

1:33:13

It makes the bulk of its money from criminals

1:33:15

abroad. This is like the most unbelievable

1:33:18

story I think I've ever heard. It really is.

1:33:20

Well, you know, but and listen, I'm just gonna say

1:33:22

something. And this is on a personal level. I mean,

1:33:24

you have no recourse. I'm a public

1:33:27

figure. I'm on radio three hours a day, TV

1:33:29

one hour a day, and when people

1:33:32

lie about me, the standard is

1:33:34

so high that I actually I

1:33:36

have to prove that what they're saying

1:33:38

was actual malice, and to get

1:33:41

there it is such a high

1:33:43

legal bar it's nearly impossible.

1:33:46

So if you're a public figure, they can pretty

1:33:49

much say anything, and they do say anything

1:33:51

they want. And I just finally just

1:33:53

compartmentalized in my mind that, Okay, this

1:33:55

is my chosen profession. I didn't

1:33:58

think that this was going to be a part of it, but people

1:34:00

telling lies about me on a regular

1:34:02

basis is just part and parcel of

1:34:04

what I now a happening in my

1:34:06

life. Well, and you know this better

1:34:09

than anyone. Even though their lies,

1:34:11

it's still hurts. It's still nasty when

1:34:13

family members and whatnot, um

1:34:15

look at this stuff and say being

1:34:18

what they're saying, UM, and yet

1:34:20

they get away with it. They get away with it. You

1:34:22

know, it was it was really you

1:34:25

know, despite the fact that Fusion GPS did

1:34:27

this and hired this loser Ken Silverstein

1:34:29

to write about it, the fact is that, um,

1:34:32

it felt really good to know that

1:34:34

there's a collection of us that are being the targets

1:34:36

of Fusion GPS because finally, what

1:34:39

these accusations can be explained. Finally,

1:34:42

you know, whether it's William Browder, myself

1:34:44

or in this case, President Trump can say, look

1:34:47

there's a pattern here. It's the same

1:34:49

company engaged in the same behavior

1:34:52

again and again. These are former

1:34:54

journalists who lost their way and decided

1:34:57

we will do anything for money. They don't

1:34:59

care about the truth. They care about making

1:35:01

money, which is why they work for criminals. I'm

1:35:04

assuming you're

1:35:06

going to do a lawsuit, Well, look, a lawsuit

1:35:08

is gonna cost millions of dollars and

1:35:10

suing this person's daughter and I've got a

1:35:12

break or come back and tell us more.

1:35:15

And as you get more information on it, and we'll

1:35:17

let people decide on their own. And I

1:35:20

can tell you smear campaigns against

1:35:22

Conservatives are just part of our everyday business.

1:35:24

It's unbelievable. It's like a it's and by

1:35:26

the way, they're well funded. All those people
