Joining us now with more, Senator Lindsey Graham. Senator, I want to get your reaction not only to the Durham Annex, but also Tulsi's declassification. And as you put it all together, you were the one person, it was you. You got everybody that used that phony Hillary Clinton bought and paid for, Russian disinformation dossier as the basis for not one, but four FISA applications. You got every one of those people, including James Comey, what did he sign? Three of the four? Two of the four? Okay, three of the four. To say, knowing what we know now, we never would have signed it. They knew the information was false, though, way back when. And they used it anyway. Does that mean they lied to a court? Put it all together for us. Well, so number one, the warrant against Carter Page that was sought by the FBI, three of the four applications to the FISA court were signed by Comey. The FBI had information that the Steele dossier was politically motivated. It was the exclusive basis for the warrant against Carter Page. The sub-source, the stanchanko guy, who gave information to Steele, told FBI agents his hearsay, his bar talk was never meant to be used in a legal proceeding. That—in spite of all that, they got warrant after warrant after warrant. So what did Page tell Strzok in August after Crossfire Hurricane opened up on July the 31st? Page, he's never going to become president, right? Strzok, no, no, he won't. We'll stop him. These are the two people leading Crossfire Hurricane. But what's important tonight is that, for the first time we know that in January of 2016, Debbie Wasserman Schultz apparently meets with the Soros Foundation to talk about a plan to distract from the Clinton email scandal. And there's a statement where Obama said, "I'm not going to have my president tarnished by the Clinton email scandal," suggesting to Comey and everybody else, "You need to let this go." And at the same time, we now know from an email that Hillary Clinton, to distract from her own email scandal problems, set up the narrative that became Crossfire Hurricane, blaming Trump of being a Russian agent. And they planned this, coordinating between the campaign and this organization, to create this storyline. That's what's new. I've never heard this before. I did not know that the Russians had hacked into the Soros Foundation, and they had conversations between Democrats and the Soros Group to set up a plot to say that Trump was a Russian agent, and it was known before Crossfire Hurricane the FBI was going to provide oil to it. So this was a conspiracy to blame Trump for being a Russian agent to distract from the Clinton email scandal to affect the outcome of the 2016 election. And then after they lost the election, then the real intelligence that was put together by senior rank and file intel officials, it said there was no Trump-Russia collusion. Didn't happen. And then they decided, I guess, according to Tulsi's release, my understanding is she believes Barack Obama led the way, but using the deep state, meaning Brennan and others, they decided to come up with another intelligence assessment. Now there's a bigger question. There's an investigation into a grand conspiracy by the FBI director, Kash Patel, that this has been a pattern that has played out now for three presidential elections. The second one would be in 2020. And remember, they verified the authenticity of Hunter's laptop in March of 2020. The FBI then was meeting weekly with big tech companies, but they knew Rudy Giuliani's then attorney, Bob Costello, had a copy. They knew it was going to be made public. Lo and behold, October, that laptop storage breaks in the New York Post. And sure enough, 51 former intel officials that knew nothing about that laptop assured the American people that, in fact, it has all the makings and markings of Russian disinformation. And when those big tech companies asked the FBI, who were pre-bunking it all summer long to them, whether it was true or false, they knew it to be true. They wouldn't tell them. And therefore the story got suppressed. Now, is that putting center plaques on the scale of an election? To me, it is. Well, not only in October of 2016, Brennan went to brief Harry Reid about Trump's connection to Russia. And that came out right before the election, but it didn't catch on. After Trump got elected before he took office, they went in overdrive to create this narrative that Trump was colluding with the Russians and that they interfered in the election to help Trump. And he was a Russian agent. And the rest is history. Remember the Mueller investigation and how we lived through all that? But here's what's important about tonight. For the first time ever, foreign intelligence services were talking about the FBI is going to get involved in investigating Trump before the investigation was even started. And the way we found that out is between conversations between Democrats and Soros. So the Russians hacked into this foundation, and they found out the information that they were planning an attack against Trump that was not true to distract from Hillary Clinton's political problems.

And welcome to this special Friday night edition of Hannity. And tonight, a reckoning at the Democratic Party and the legacy media mob after years of lies, conspiracy theories, public corruption and outright contempt for all of you, the American people, the elites. On the left, they have been totally exposed. Coming up, we're going to show you the latest insanity from the woke mob's war on Sidney Sweeney, even the vice president, J.D. Vance, is weighing in. Also, Kamala Harris is forcing her way back into the spotlight. Her word salads are worse than ever. Take a look. Poor Dougie. I, you know, for example, my birthday's in October. The election's in November. You see where I'm going? Oh, and the giggling's back. I think you should take a moment as a public service and thank Donald Trump for winning this election. Not only did he stop both Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton from ever becoming president, but thanks to President Trump, sanity is now returning to our nation's capital. Now, think about what we all endured over the last decade. For starters, almost every Democrat, every bureaucrat, every so-called journalist pushing, peddling lies, conspiracy theories as fact. In reality, Trump, Russia, collusion, Russia, Russia, Russia never happened, according to a recently declassified material from the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. There was no evidence that Russia even wanted Trump to win in 2016, none. That was the original assessment six weeks after the election. It was one big hoax, well, bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. That's what I kept referring to over and over and over again as the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for dirty Russian disinformation dossier. Take a look at your screen. And based on the newly declassified annex from the Durham probe, it was even approved by Hillary Clinton herself and then implemented with the help of then President Barack Hussein, Obama, the CIA, the FBI. There is now a massive trove of hard evidence that Hillary Clinton, powerful federal bureaucrats and maybe even Obama himself worked in coordination. They worked together to push Russian disinformation from the Clinton campaign, why? First to delegitimize Donald Trump's 2016 win, but first to prevent him from winning, but then to hurt his presidency. And of course, the people mentioned in those newly declassified emails, they are denying any and all wrongdoing. And so is the Soros link open society. But in 2020, Hillary Clinton couldn't help but brag that the Russia hoax tainted Trump's 2016 win while also claiming, oh, I'm nothing at all at all. I did not have a single thing to do with that hoax. Not one little thing, not one little bet. Take a look. It is a sign of such desperation by the Republicans, and it also is a reminder that Donald Trump knows that the Russians helped him win in 2016. And that is almost the biggest reason he wants to go back to it time and time again, because he can't come to grips with the fact that there will always be an air of illegitimacy around the 2016 campaign. And he also is always trying to change the subject, trying to somehow cast aspersions on anyone. I happen to be one of his favorite subjects for aspersion casting, but mostly it's just pathetic. Now, in reality, both the Clinton campaign and the DNC, they were forced to pay a large fine for violating campaign laws after attempting to hide their funding of the dirty Russian disinformation dossier. So why would Clinton try to obscure payments for the dossier? The answer is obvious. This wasn't just some kind of political ad campaign, no. A coordinated effort across the federal government and, of course, with their complicit and compliant friends in the legacy media mob to paint Donald Trump as a Russian plant, which he never was despite any real evidence, just a debunked, lying dossier. And after the election, when Donald Trump won in spite of all of this, then it evolved into an effort to sabotage his presidency. And he had to deal with all of these lies, all of these conspiracy theories, for pretty much his entire first term. This dirty Russian disinformation dossier was even used as, quote, "evidence to obtain not one but four FISA court warrants to secretly—to ruin Carter Page's life," and then backdoor spy on the Trump campaign, his transition team, and, of course, his presidency. And we'll have more on that in a moment. But naturally, the New York Times, remember, they got a Pulitzer Prize for getting almost everything wrong. They're busy trying to cast all doubt on all the new evidence coming from Tulsi Gabbard, coming from John Ratcliffe, coming from the Durham Annex. In fact, they're now going back to the well one more time, and they're calling it Russian disinformation yet again, an article out today, quote, "Clinton plan emails were likely made by Russian spies, declassified report shows." Okay, I've got this article right here in front of me. The only problem is the declassified report did not show that. Nowhere in the annex, nowhere does it state the declassified emails were likely made by Russian spies. Instead, the annex revealed that, quote, "Durham consulted the FBI, which assessed that the information was likely authentic, but they couldn't corroborate exact copies of the Bernardo emails with Open Society foundations." That CIA also determined, by the way, the intel was not the product of Russian fabrications. These are career senior intel officials, not the heavy brass that had a political agenda. And at this point, is anyone surprised? The New York Times, the same piece of garbage newspaper that won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting the Russia hoax and peddling these lies, not once, not twice, but over and over again, peddled day in and day out. The same New York Times, you know, that won a Pulitzer Prize for their effusive praise back in the day of Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union. They don't care about the truth. For them, it's all about the agenda and power, and that agenda always lines up perfectly with the Democratic Party. Now, in 2016, it appears that almost every powerful entity was operating as one, all against Donald Trump. It was Clinton, Obama, Brennan, CIA, FBI, Mr. Higher Honor himself, James Comey, who couldn't seem to explain why he hid the true nature of the dossier from President Trump. You might recall. Did you tell him that the Steele dossier had been financed by his political opponents? No. I didn't, I didn't even think I used the term Steele dossier, I just talked about additional material. But did he have a right to know that? That it had been financed by his political opponents? I don't know the answer to that. It wasn't necessary for my goal, which was to alert him that we had this information. Mr. Higher Honor, everyone seemed to be on the same page, pushing the Russia hoax for years. Look at this new report from JustTheNews.com. Even then Vice President Joe Biden called publicly linked Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin right around the same time that Hillary Clinton reportedly signed off on the Russia hoax. And again, none of it was true, where's the apologies, where are the retractions, does anyone on the left or in the government or in the legacy media mob, do they regret anything? You know, the closest we got to an apology when Senator Lindsey Graham asked the people that actually used that Hillary Clinton bought and paid for Russian disinformation, dirty dossier, as the basis, bulk of information for four Pfizer wards, if knowing what they know now, would they do it again? These answers are priceless. Take a look. If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application in June of 2017 against Carter Page? Uh, no, sir. Okay. If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application? No, I would not. Well, I believe you didn't know that what you signed was wrong. The question is, if you had known, you wouldn't have signed it. Is that correct? No. If I had known that it contained incorrect information, I certainly wouldn't have signed it. Knowing then what you know now about all the things that we've come to find, would you have still signed the warrant application against Carter Page in October, January, and April? No, I would want a much more complete understanding of what we were -- Thank you very much.

Well, I'm delighted to be here with some of the truly great sports legends of all time as we formally announce the newest members of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. We have an opportunity to literally change the fabric of kids' lives, and our first initiative is to bring back the President's fitness test. I think the time is so important. Obesity is the highest it's ever been. Mental health, as we all know, the need ought to be tackled. Make our youth healthy, help get them engaged in sports, and let them learn what it takes to be successful in life. Kids are healthier, they're happier, they do better when they're out there, they're being active, they're playing in sports, they're hanging out with their friends. Re-instill that spirit of competition, and that spirit and that commitment to nutrition and physical fitness, and I'm so grateful to President Trump for your leadership and bring this back for our country. ♪♪♪
