So CNN has released a treasure trove of text messages that were sent to and from Mark Meadows, people all over the country, lawmakers, conservative personalities, pillow CEOs, and everybody in between was texting Mark Meadows, basically between election day and up into the end of the Trump administration. CNN got their hands on these because they were recently filed in court as part of an effort to compel Mark Meadows to comply with a subpoena. And here is what we know about some of the individuals. I want to talk right now specifically about Sean Hannity, right? Fox news host no longer of course, the most watched Fox news host. He has lost that crown to Tucker Carlson. But Hannity was texting with Mark Meadows on election day where Meadows was effectively giving him orders and it's because Hannity asked, let's be clear about that, about how to help Donald Trump win that election because things weren't looking so good.

So let me read these text message exchanges from Sean Hannity and Mark Meadows. Starts with Sean Hannity to Mark Meadows. Hey, North Carolina gonna be okay? Mark Meadows responds, stress every vote matters. Get out and vote on radio. So basically telling him like get on the radio, tell these people to do this. Sean Hannity responds. Yes sir. On it. Any place in particular we need to push? Mark Meadows responds, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada. To which Sean Hannity replies. Got it. Everywhere. So yeah like, hey, is there any in particular place that we need to do this that's looking really bad? Yes, the entire country. Aye aye captain. I'm gonna go ahead and make that happen for you. So here's the thing. This is humorous, right? Unfortunately it doesn't break any laws, right? It seems like it's totally something that should not be legal of course, because you have a major media personality coordinating with a presidential campaign using their platform to push people to go out and vote for that person.

In my opinion, that looks, that looks, I'm not saying it is, but to me it looks like an in-kind campaign contribution, because you're doing free advertisements for them telling people to go vote for them. That's coveted radio space. I mean, SEC if you're listening, you may wanna look into this. But there's something bigger here because even if the SEC doesn't wanna investigate this, uh, I would think the DOJ might and not because again, Sean Hannity did nothing wrong. Take Sean Hannity outta the equation. What do you have here? You have Donald Trump's chief of staff who is dead smack in the middle of the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election openly admitting in these text messages that they're losing. Not because of fraud, not because of anything other than lower turnout of Republican voters. See sometimes folks, you gotta read between the lines and that's why this particular set of text messages is so disturbing for Meadows. He's admitting we're losing, right?

We're not winning. He's not talking about fraud. He's not talking about the election being stolen. He is talking about the fact that Trump voters are not getting out there and voting. Now for Meadows and his legal defense and for Trump and his legal defense, the only way they can get away with the things they did, if the DOJ brings charges, of course, is to be able to argue that they legitimately believed that the 2020 election was stolen. So if they go.
