You're watching what's going on out in California.
Are you watching the insanity of what's going on in California?
Are you watching the left and the violence and the insanity that's going on there?
Rioters raging outside a Trump rally in Southern California, smashing a police car, rocks at motorists being thrown, hundreds and hundreds of people waving Mexican flags, cops way outnumbered.
You know, what was Donald Trump was doing last night.
Now, I got to explain something from a TV perspective last night.
Because some of you, I saw the anger on Twitter.
There was a moment in the show.
First of all, the Trump rally was supposed to start at 10.
It didn't start until about 10:40, if my memory serves me well.
Now, there are certain breaks in television and radio that are called hard breaks.
I have a little more flexibility on radio than I do on television.
I do not have the authority to just say, well, we're going to blow the break.
I just don't.
And there are a lot of things that are connected to a break system.
In other words, there are local affiliates, there are local cable networks.
There are that fully expect and often are automated and ready to go to a break.
When you have a hard break, there's no option, there's no opportunity, unless time is given where you can give warning to everybody.
It's just not an option.
So we were in the middle of just carrying the segment last night, and there was a gentleman who had lost his son that was telling this tragic story.
And literally, in the middle of it, we got to that moment where I could not stay on the air one more second.
It was going to break whether I said something or didn't say something.
And a lot of you watching, rightly, were angry that we had to break at that moment.
It's just unfortunate.
We didn't know that this was going to happen the way it happened.
The timing was off, so I apologize.
It was not done on purpose or by design.
We had an incident where Senator Cruz was speaking one night, and I think it was when he was in New York, and the audio was terrible.
It was not the Fox feed.
It was inside of the room where the New York, I guess, Republican Party was running their event.
They were in control of the feed.
And then people say, oh, you just did that purposely on Ted.
No, we want to put on the best broadcast we can.
And sometimes there are such things as technical glitches.
But I'm watching these protesters.
They just broke through a barricade outside of the convention hotel.
Now, what do you think is happening here?
It's very simple.
It's not complicated to figure out.
For the last eight years, those on the left, in part because of weak Republicans, unwilling to use the power of the purse, fearful that they would be blamed for a government shutdown, have allowed the Obama agenda to move forward.
And the Obama agenda is one of capitulation and appeasement and blaming America, you know, right out of the book of Frank Marshall Davis, Alinsky, Acorn, right out of the church of GD America and Reverend Wright, and right out of the radicalism of his pal and buddy, Bernadine Dorn and Bill Ayers, you know, who he gave speeches with and started his campaign with.
So you've had eight years of this.
Democrats instinctively know that Hillary is a weak candidate.
Now, I stand by this.
Anybody wants to challenge me on this?
I would be glad to debate you.
Hillary Clinton starts with 47% of the vote.
You have to assume that.
You cannot assume that any match is going to be easy.
Any matchup is going to be easy.
Democrats have no problems whatsoever lying.
They lie with regularity.
So all of those people, now we have millions and more Americans dependent.
We have millions more in poverty, millions more on food stamps.
Latest statistic that is just shocks the conscience.
You've got 20% of American families that don't have a single family member, nobody that has a job.
That means 100% dependency on government for whatever it is they get.
That's what Obamacare.
Remember, I kept saying, Obamacare is basically a Ponzi scheme.
It's now falling of its own weight.
Nobody wants to be a part of it.
Nobody can make money on the insurance side of it.
Insurance carriers are dumping it, United being the very latest.
The promises could never possibly have been met.
We told you that from the beginning.
The idea was to funnel everybody into the system, but the idea didn't work out so well.
Instead of $2,500 savings per person or per family per year, you now see 35 to 50% rate increases per family and people losing their doctor and losing their plans.
All happening, all predicted up by us.
And the idea was that they were going to have the rich, I'm sorry, the young, the healthy, basically paying for the poor, indigent, and the unhealthy, and the elderly.
And it's like a Ponzi scheme.
It's like, it's sort of like, in a way, what Social Security has evolved into, except Social Security, you were actually supposed to save the people's money and put it privately in a lockbox.
So this is all very predictable.
Liberals sense their power is slipping from their hands.
They sense the possibility.
They see the momentum.
You can see the enthusiasm up 60% from 2012, Republican participation in primaries from 2012.
It's up now 60% here in 2016.
And Democrats, well, they're down about 25 to 30%.
So they see that there's a possibility that things are, they see that their gravy train is about to escape them.
And this is what you get in reaction to it.
Because the Democratic Party is a coalition party.
There was a reason that it mattered when Black Lives Matters gets in to see Barack Obama.
Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon.
Why would any president of the United States of America ever, ever meet with such a radical group?
And the same thing goes with how many times has Al Sharpton been to the White House?
We've got the best of Al Sharpton, including using the N-word against the first black mayor of New York City, David Dinkins, many, many times, and using slurs against gays and lesbians and whites and all the things that he has said over the years.
You ain't nothing but a pump site.
Now come on, do something.
Yes!
You want to leave all this nigga on television?
All these niggas say.
All these niggas can talk.
Don't talk to them.
Don't talk to them because you got the only living problem.
Because you know, if a black man stood up next to you, they would see you for the hall.
Fix it really up.
White folks was in the game when we had built empires.
We learned to admire them, but they knew to admire us.
We built pyramids without a Trump ever knew how to take Europe.
We talk philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them freak home on other guy rattles.
White underlobot said I was wrong.
Cracker, though, I've done cracker as a certain personification of a certain type of person down south.
She's like redneck.
I mean, you know, some people misinterpret cracker meaning all whites is not true.
But the confusion means you shouldn't use it.
I mean, sometimes being flippant, you say things you shouldn't say because it gets in the way of your message and people don't really understand what you're saying.
So there you have it.
How many times has he been to the Obama White House?
How's that possible?
You know, so what you know, you look at Occupy Wall Street and any of the movements.
Look at the president's positions being wrong on the Cambridge police, being wrong in the Trayvon Martin case, being wrong in the case of Michael Brown and Darren Wilson and Ferguson, Missouri.
And look at how the Justice Department went after the Baltimore Police Department as if they were responsible for what had happened in Baltimore, et cetera, et cetera.
And it goes on and on.
And now it is that, you know, here we have presidential candidates that are saying something that needs to be said.
America's borders are wide open and it is hurting Americans.
And by the way, the people on paper, now statistically proven, that have disproportionately taken on the burden of illegal immigrants working in this country are minorities here in America.
Competition for jobs, now every time you have an illegal immigrant in the country, let's say it's 11 million.
Well, that's 11 million more people fighting for jobs.
We have 95 million Americans out of the labor force.
So if some people are here illegally, chances are there's more people fighting for those limited jobs.
That's going to drive down wages and take away opportunities from Americans.
And then the bigger part of the equation is with wide open borders.
We know that ISIS has telegraphed that they plan to cross the border at Mexico and come into American cities and towns with the very distinct purpose of trying to destroy innocent Americans.
It is a vulnerability that we as a society can easily get rid of.
You know, to see so many people waving the Mexican flag, this is not Mexico.
I understand people are proud for the country from which they came from.
But we are supposed to be all Americans here.
I don't have any problem if you're an Italian American, if you're an African American, an Irish American.
Look, my grandparents came here from Ireland.
They came here legally.
They immigrated to the country and they did so for the hope and opportunity that America offers.
And so many other people, and I bet many of you have similar stories to tell, but it's got to be legal.
And the idea that America, you know, if we just would follow Mexico's own immigration laws, let's say you're from El Salvador or Nicaragua or Central America, any part of it, and you go into Mexico illegally, which some people do, and they get caught, they're put in jail or they're immediately deported.
If America adopts the same policy, somehow the Mexican government lectures us that we are somehow racist.
It is predictable.
And by the way, this is only the beginning.
What you're watching on TV is only a start.
We've seen flashes of it, but it's going to get worse and worse.
I can guarantee you that the Democrats will be more than happy to get their friends, the alliances that they have with radical groups that they represent showing up in Cleveland to create as much chaos for television cameras as possible in the hopes of scaring the American people into voting for Democrats.
It is as predictable as the day is long.
Every single election year, you can predict with 100% certainty that the race card will be played by the Democrats.
You know, you have Al Gore before a predominantly African-American audience going, Republicans don't even want to count you in the census.
They have the wrong agenda for African Americans.
Hillary Clinton changing her cadence, her tone, her pitch when she speaks before predominantly African-American audiences.
By the way, what pandering and how insulting it is.
You know, you don't hear Republicans change their pitch, tone, and cadence when they speak before a group of people.
They're just a group of people, fellow Americans.
You can also predict the gender card.
Hillary's already playing it.
Backfired so far as it relates to Trump.
I don't think it's going to work this time, but the idea is Republicans hate women.
Poor Mitt Romney.
My gosh, the awful thing he did carrying around women's resumes that he wanted to give jobs to.
That became the war on women in 2012.
You know, the images of Paul Ryan, it'll be Donald Trump.
You know, you're going to start throwing Granny over the cliff.
I'm sure this campaign season, you're going to see a mushroom cloud ad.
Do you want Hillary Clinton?
No, sorry.
Do you want Donald Trump to have his finger on the button?
Do you want Ted Cruz to have his finger on the button?
All of that's coming too.
You know, and for all of you involved in the circular firing squad within Republican ranks, you know, I urge you to understand that at the end of the day, this is what this battle is going to be about.
If Trump-Kasich Cruz supporters don't unite, if Republicans don't unite, if you don't bring a team together of the greatest bench probably in the history of the Republican Party, the Rick Perrys, the Kasichs, the Walkers, the Rubios, the Haleys, the Jindals, and I'm not even beginning to touch the surface, the Gingriches, the Giuliani's, and put them together, then you know what?
It's not going to work.
You're handing the election over to Hillary, which is obviously not good.
Basically, the thinking was that we kind of bifurcate the two issues between funding all of government and funding Department of Homeland Security.
I mean, DHS, the executive order, was really what so many of us had reservations of, the unilateral action by the President of the United States on this issue of questionable legality.
Is that how he's paying for this, just in my opinion, an illegal act?
No, in fact, what's interesting about this illegal act is there will be some administrative monies associated, I think, with his handling of this.
But really, it saves money in a sense when you say we're not going to enforce certain parts of the law.
All right.
That was Todd Young.
Now, there's a, I just got back from Indiana.
Now, before I get to our next guest, I want to just tell you something.
Really frustrating if you're in the public eye, it just gets very frustrating.
So we had a real good hour.
It's part of the best election coverage that I made a promise to give you with Senator Cruz and Carly Fiorina.
It was their first interview together.
Like we have given interviews to all of the candidates.
Anyway, it's going to air tonight on Hannity at 10 o'clock.
We were glad to be able to go to Indiana.
We were right in Indianapolis.
It was at an incredible location that I just can't tell you how great it was.
The crowd was energized.
It was a lot of fun.
And all of a sudden, my email gets filled up with these emails.
And it says Ted Cruz for president.
The Conservative Campaign Committee endorses Ted Cruz for president.
Anyway, so it says, anyway, if you're a Cruz supporter, you probably, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, don't like the Fox News channel, et cetera.
Then it says, however, tonight you'll want to turn Fox back on at 10 for the special one-hour-long Ted Cruz Carly Fiorina Town Hall in Indianapolis.
I was there, and it was spectacular.
The crowd was energized.
Sean Hannity was forced to treat Cruz and Carly with respect.
So I just wrote the Cruz campaign because it looks like it comes from the Cruz campaign.
He said, that's not us.
You've always treated us with respect.
We're very appreciative of all you've done.
This is not us.
And, you know, what do you want us to do about it?
Well, it's not their fault.
But you read these things in your emails and you think, well, that's actually coming from campaigns.
It is very frustrating.
Be very careful who it is that you respond to.
I know that maybe you want to donate money to whoever your favorite candidate is, but this is not associated with the Ted Cruz campaign.
And they're as aggravated as I am because they don't feel that way.
And they asked me, would you like us to tweet something or do this?
I'm like, whatever you want.
I mean, it just is frustrating because every hour we have done with every candidate has gone extraordinarily well.
And I've been fair to everybody.
And by the way, so we had a race back here from Indianapolis, and that'll air tonight on Hannity.
Now, I want to, speaking of Indiana, Mike Pence, by the way, endorsed Ted Cruz today.
Bobby Knight is endorsing Donald Trump there.
You've got a race that is about a four or five point rate, very close.
Congressman Marlon Stutzman of Indiana, he's running for the Senate in Indiana against Representative Todd Young, who he just played there.
And Young has the backing of what?
The GOP establishment and Mitch McConnell.
Now, you've got Marlon Stutzman as a fourth-generation farmer.
He grew up on a farm in Indiana.
And as a U.S. Congressman for Indiana's third congressional district, Marlon created a pretty unparalleled conservative record.
We've known him for many years.
It includes authoring the only 2015 budget that would actually balance voting to repeal all of Obamacare over 50 times.
You know, pretty much standing up for all Hoosier values, protecting the Second Amendment, sanctity of life.
He's a good guy.
And why are they supporting this other guy against you?
Is it because you're a conservative?
Well, Sean, great to be with you, and glad to hear you were in Indiana.
And, you know, you felt the intensity with Hoosiers, and there's such a deep frustration and some just anger and fear about where the country is headed with the Washington establishment.
And, you know, I was one of the 24 that voted against John Boehner for Speaker this last Congress and felt that our leadership has not been fighting and doing what the American people have asked and sent us there to do since 2010 in the House.
And of course, getting the Senate in 2014.
And I think that's what the establishment is afraid of, is that the American people are going to speak out here.
I was so disgusted with John Boehner yesterday, a guy that wouldn't fight the Obama agenda, wouldn't use the power of the purse, wouldn't fulfill his promise on repealing the parts of Obamacare they could, was afraid that he'd get blamed for a government shutdown.
And, of course, they went forward with the Cromnibus, and that ended in a disaster because they didn't fulfill the 2014 promise of ending executive amnesty.
And then he calls, what, Senator Cruz, Lucifer and, you know, an SOB and everything else.
I mean, it's unbelievable that the very people that create the insurgency, you know, now want to, you know, he's the same guy that said, oh, you can nominate anyone you want on the convention floor.
It's frustrating.
It is.
And I think that reveals a lot about John Boehner.
The fact that he is calling out Ted Cruz as Lucifer in the flesh.
It shows you a lot about his character and also the fact, why was the Speaker of the House, the third most powerful man in the country, focusing on the junior senator from Texas?
Why wasn't he going to bat for conservatives and going to Mitch McConnell and saying, this is what we need to do for our party to get this country back on track?
But he's distracted with Ted Cruz.
I think it shows you that they're more concerned about beating conservatives up.
I mean, I felt this.
We get this in the Freedom Caucus.
I'm a member of the Freedom Caucus.
They get more distracted and want to beat us up and are spending millions of dollars in Washington to beat me and propping up my opponent rather than actually going out and fighting the Democrats and the left on these issues.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
Are you endorsing?
We have Bobby Knight supporting Trump, hence announcees for Cruz today.
You got about a five-point race.
Are you going to endorse in this presidential primary?
I'm not.
And you know what?
I will support either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump.
I'm excited about both of them, to be honest with you, Sean.
I've been in Congress now for the past five and a half years, and I see the bipartisan establishment that is set up there.
And both Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are outsiders who are going to fight the establishment in Washington.
And so, I mean, we've got, you know, our campaign.
I've got to say something.
You and I feel the same way.
And I just know that the Cruz people hate the Trump people.
The Trump people hate the Cruz people.
They're very different people, and they're very, they approach government from different points of view, but I just see that they are very iconoclastic, and it gives me hope that the corrupt system could be jolted, hopefully, back into reality and into public service again.
Yeah, and you know what, Sean?
I tell you, half of our volunteer base and staff on our campaign in Indiana, half are Cruz people, half are Trump people.
And you know what?
We all want the same thing.
We want Washington to realize that they are the problem in this country, that they're picking winners and losers, and that the establishment is the problem on both the Democrat Party and the Republican Party, and that they're not listening to the people.
And so I tell you, I think that once this is all settled, and the other thing, Sean, is that one of these two, Donald Trump or Ted Cruz, better be the nominee coming out of the convention.
I don't care, you know, how, I don't know how this all plays out, but if the party tries to pull something at convention where one of these two aren't the nominees, I think there is going to be a huge, huge uprising.
Well, I tend to agree with you.
I think that would be bad.
Look, I haven't really gotten deeply involved in the Senate races yet.
I've been so active in the presidential nomination process.
But I would strongly support your candidacy here for the Senate.
I think you'd be a great addition.
And we really need some people that are willing to fight and shake things up.
And you have shown a willingness to do that by opposing Boehner at the time that it needed to happen.
Actually, it should have happened two years earlier when I called for it, but I'm not going to be picky here.
And I think it showed a great deal of courage on your part and the Freedom Caucus' part.
And I appreciate all that you've done.
And I really am hopeful that you're going to win this race on Tuesday because we need people like you in the Senate.
Well, this is one of only two open seats in the country.
Marco Rubio's seat, of course, in Florida, and then Indiana.
Senator Coates is retiring.
And it shows you that the establishment, Mitch McConnell, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, they've come in and dumped in over $2 million for my opponent.
And they're spending.
You know why they did that?
They did that because you had the unmitigated gall to recognize that John Boehner was failing miserably and destroying the Republican Party.
So, you know what?
That's why Mitch McConnell's doing it.
That's right.
And that's why we're fighting back.
We're telling people that Mitch McConnell has been part of the problem in Washington, that we're going to go there to the Senate.
We're going to fight for conservative values.
Mike Lee's endorsed us.
Rand Paul endorsed us.
We've got Senate Conservatives fund Ken Kucinelli.
They've been strongly supporting us.
It's time that they're being exposed, and that's why they're squealing so loud right now in Washington.
Well, I really hope you win on Tuesday, and I hope our friends in Indiana are paying attention because this is also going to be part of the primary that takes place in Indiana.
Anyway, thank you.
Appreciate your time.
Marlon Stutzman, thank you so much for being with us.
Good luck on Tuesday.
Thanks, Sean.
Great to be with you, Tethy.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, we're still following the events that are unfolding in California.
Let me give you an update if we can.
And this is pretty pathetic what's going on here.
You've got literally now illegal immigrants in almost every shot Fox has waving the Mexican flag.
You've got to ask yourself, is this the new America?
You don't agree with a liberal point of view.
They're trying, hoping, attempting to do everything that they can do to shut down, in this case, Donald Trump from speaking in California.
It's in Burlingame, California.
It's happening right now before our very eyes.
And then you've got other protesters.
We have reports of protesters pepper spraying actual children, trashing cop cars, punching people that are peacefully trying to support the candidate of their choosing.
And, you know, it's pretty disgusting.
Anyway, so what you have here is this is basically from the California Republican Party convention that's going on.
And Trump arrives for lunch and his speech there.
Protests getting more and more intense.
Later on, Ohio Governor John Kasich will speak this evening.
Saturday belongs to Senator Cruz, who's going to speak.
Carly Fiorina will speak.
She was selected before as a running mate.
She'll speak in the evening also.
So, you know, if you watch the coverage, you've got all these radical groups.
They're all doing the same thing.
And some of the signs that I've seen on TV shouldn't be on TV.
But they're there.
And this is the left.
Now, let me go to this Indiana race because it's a little more interesting today.
You've got Bobby Knight, probably the most popular figure ever in Indiana of Hoosier's basketball fame, Hoosier's coach, endorsing Trump earlier this week.
And today, Mike Pence endorsed Ted Cruz.
Now, it's obviously an effort to replicate in Indiana for the Cruz campaign what he achieved in Wisconsin when Scott Walker, the governor of the state, endorsed Cruz.
Although this is more last-minute in the case of Pence, and Cruz then went on to win Wisconsin by double digits, probably his best showing in the campaign so far.
So anyway, we'll have to see what happens.
You also have some internal numbers.
You know, one of the big questions we have to ask is whether or not what Ted Cruz has done with the Kasich issue and the Carly Fiorina appointment this early, you know, because the latest numbers are in.
Trump has 997 delegates.
All right.
That is a big, big gap.
So if you have, you know, if you need 1,237, okay, so you basically now need 240 if you're Donald Trump to get the nomination.
You've got 10 states to go.
172 available in California alone, but the 56 or 57, I forget the number in Indiana, that's a big number.
Now, if Trump gets them, you've got to say mathematically, it's not impossible to stop Trump from 1237, but it gets dramatically, I mean dramatically harder.
Reporting from Indiana, I saw a national review piece.
I'm not sure why I'm always reading National Review.
Maybe out of habit, but they have expressed where they are on a lot of issues.
But it's a familiar dynamic.
You've got anti-Trump Republicans clustered around Indianapolis, other population centers in the northeast, Fort Wayne, Northwest, near Chicago.
Cruz allies are confident that they can win statewide and at least carry seven of the nine congressional districts.
You have two of the southern districts bordering Kentucky, the eighth and ninth, thought to be Trump territory.
The sixth should be highly competitive.
Notably, none of these three districts are home to any of the state's six most populous counties.
All told, with 30 delegates going to the statewide winner and then three delegates to the winner of each congressional district, you know, it's hard to say which way that this is going to go.
You have massive amounts of money being thrown into the state.
You've got officials for the Club for Growth and Our Principles PAC, which they're now going to spend about $1.6 million against Trump.
Trump has put in about $900,000, probably more than he has in any other state.
So I don't think there's any way, I just think it's going to be a very close race.
That's my take on it.
I still say that, you know, it's not based on how well the Trump campaign has turned around their ground game in Pennsylvania.
This was a massive turnaround by getting those unbound delegates to commit to Trump.
That was a huge win because he won every county, every town, every city in the five states on Tuesday, much more massive than anybody originally knew.
But so that gives him some cushion over Ted Cruz if he were to lose Indiana.
But certainly both campaigns now are pulling out all the stops to win there.
And whether or not this is going to work or not, I don't know.
So we've got a lot going on there.
We're going to continue to follow this throughout the afternoon.
And we've got a lot of other things coming up.
We have Governor Rick Scott of Florida.
He wants to get rid of never Trump, never Cruz, never anybody.
The only never, he says, should be never Hillary.
So we'll get to that.
And then we have the Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson and the Reverend Oliver White.
They're going to comment on these massive protests that are now going on at the Trump event that's going on.
Well, basically, the Republican Party event of the state of California.
You have the Republican Party convention going on.
And right now, you even have delegates that are being blocked from getting into the convention.
It's that chaotic there.
It is a Democratic community.
Many Republicans down south.
And Donald Trump may get a different reception.
We'll have to wait and see.
But here he is.
Let's listen in to Donald Trump.
Sit down, everybody.
Thank you very much.
Wow.
So nice.
That was not the easiest entrance I've ever met.
My wife called.
She said, there are helicopters following you.
And we did.
And then we went under a fence and through a fence.
And oh, boy, I felt like I was crossing the border, actually.
Yeah, that's true.
I was crossing the border, but I got here.
That was pretty funny.
That was Donald Trump speaking before the California Republican Party out there.
There's protests all over the place, as I've been telling you.
I've seen more Mexican flags in the protests out there.
I don't see, I have yet to see.
Linda, have you seen one American flag among the protesters?
Just one?
Not a single one.
And this picture, one, two, three, four, five.
Let's see, six, seven.
I'm looking at the pictures on Fox right now.
And they're not just small flags.
These are very, very large flags.
They're very, very large flags from New York.
Yes, I see the New Yorkers out there.
Anyway, so what's happening here is you got a lot of protesting going on, and this is the anti-left.
Their plan was, you know, you've got to understand here, you've got a new ultra-violent hate group emerging in America.
I wonder if the Southern Poverty Law Center will ever add them to the list, considering they went after the Family Research Council, of all people.
But anyway, and the left wants to shut down conservative speech.
They want to shut down, in this case, Donald Trump.
They shut down a major rally planned for Chicago in March.
They attempted to injure Trump with a disruptor charging the stage and getting within feet of the candidate during a rally in Ohio the next day.
They have now sent numerous suspicious envelopes filled with white powder to Trump Tower and the offices in the homes of Donald Trump's children.
They threatened last weekend to bomb a Trump rally in Connecticut.
And you've got now the protesters taking to the streets in California, violent demonstrations leading to 17 arrests as he now brought his campaign to California.
One Trump supporter had his face bloodied in a scuffle as he tried to drive out of the arena.
One man jumped on a police car, leaving its front and rear windows smashed and the top dented, and other protesters spraying graffiti on other police cars and the Pacific amphitheater's marquee.
You had dozens of cars, including those of Trump supporters trying to leave, stuck in the street, as several hundred demonstrators blocking the roads, waving their Mexican flags, posing for selfies.
Some protesters badgered some of the people that were walking in, and 17 people were arrested, and it goes on and on and on, even now.
So you've got hundreds of demonstrators outside this event in California.
You've got, you know, I got to tell you something.
Is this the new America?
And if you dare to discuss or debate the alliance that the left encourages this, how do I know this?
Why was Black Lives Matter invited members invited to the Obama White House?
A group chanting pigs in a blanket, pigs mean cops, pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon.
Pigs in a blanket!
Fry like bacon!
Pigs in a blanket!
Fry like bacon!
I mean, why were they invited?
Why did Al Sharpton have all of his time at the White House?
You know, and it goes on and on from there.
We have some polls out.
A massive lead by Trump in California.
We'll get to the first Oregon poll that I have seen, Trump at 47 in Oregon.
We have a couple of new Indiana polls.
If we go through all the polls available, you've got Trump 8 plus 8, Trump plus 6, Trump plus 5, Trump plus 2, Trump plus 9.
But I would imagine it's a pretty close race there.
Indiana voting Tuesday.
It almost seems must win from my perspective for the Cruz campaign.
We were in Indiana this morning with Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina.
Their first interview together.
That'll air tonight on Hannity.
Joining us now first, though, is Governor Rick Scott of Florida.
He's now spoken out.
He wants the party to unite, stop dividing amongst ourselves as we attempt to regain the nation in the White House to try and get this country back on track.
He said it's time for the Stop Trump, Stop Cruz movements to end.
And yesterday, he's talking, he wrote this Wednesday, yesterday's election results show that anti-Trump efforts aren't working.
Republicans need to come together.
How are you, sir?
How are you doing, Sean?
I'm going out to California Sunday, but not to get votes, but to get more jobs.
So you're going to steal California companies, and you're going to tell them if you come to Florida, you're going to save a lot of money.
We've cut taxes 55 times.
We've cut 4,200 regulations.
Whoa, whoa, 55 times since you've been governor?
Yeah.
Did you ever raise taxes?
Any fee increases?
No, no, no.
We don't raise taxes.
We cut taxes.
We cut fees.
We streamline the time it takes to get a permit.
That's why we've added 1,061,000 jobs.
And our job growth rate, our labor first growth rate, our wage growth rate is way faster than national averages.
How many jobs have been created?
What, you're in your fifth year now as governor?
How many jobs have been created since you took office?
1,061,000.
We add about 20,000 jobs a month.
That is amazing.
And do you have any attrition that – do you have any attrition that – 20.3 million people live in the state, and we have so many job openings now, 265,000, that we're down to about 60,000 people receiving unemployment benefits.
Wow.
Out of 20.3 million people.
You know, I played at the time.
You were kind enough, and I mean this, you were really nice when Governor Cuomo made those idiotic remarks if you're pro-life, if you're pro-Second Amendment, if, and he said anti-gay.
I'm not anti-gay.
I'm just, I believe in traditional marriage.
I don't believe in changing the definition of marriage.
Frankly, I'm libertarian.
I don't really care what people do.
It's none of my business.
And he said, you're not a New Yorker.
You don't belong here because that's not who New Yorkers are.
Remember that?
And you were kind enough to invite me to Florida.
Here's what Governor Cuomo said at the time.
Their problem is not me and the Democrats.
Their problem is themselves.
Who are they?
Are they these extreme conservatives who are right to life, a poor assault weapon, anti-gay?
Is that who they are?
Because if that's who they are, and if they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York.
Because that's not who New Yorkers are.
And you were kind enough to invite me to Florida.
Now, I happen to have a condo down in Florida, and I would like to get down there, but I'm raising my kids, and it's kind of hard to move them at the same time.
And I have a contract that insists that I stay in New York.
But I'm going to tell you, Governor, just by staying in New York, I want you to understand this.
I pay an extra 9.9% state income tax, an extra 4% New York City tax.
I live in the second highest property taxed county in New York because I want to live in the suburbs.
I hate the city, and that's Nassau County.
And it literally, I am paying at the end of the day, and I don't get these deductions.
And unlike some of Obama's friends and all these big liberal donors to Hillary Clinton, I don't have foreign bank accounts, and I don't have offshore bank accounts.
I have to pay the 62 cents out of every dollar I make that goes straight to government.
It's unbelievable.
If I lived in Florida, I would keep an additional 20, it would be 40 cents.
That's a lot of money at the end of the day for people.
Sean, people are moving here in droves.
365,000 people moved here last year.
But here's a telling number.
In the last 20 years, $127 billion of annual income has moved to Florida.
That's awesome.
That's good for you.
Good policy.
$26 billion has moved out of New York.
And by the way, more than that out of New Jersey.
I've asked Governor Christie about it a number of times.
It is a big problem for the Northeast.
These states are declining.
My only fear, and tell me if I'm wrong about this, my fear is all these people that are overtaxed, sick and tired of paying all their money to the governments of New York and New Jersey and some of these big Northeastern states, California being another one, 13.5% state income tax, and you have a zero income tax.
My fear is they're moving to states like yours and states like Texas, and they're bringing their liberal ideology, which caused the problems in their home state that drove them out in the first place, with them.
And my attitude is if you want to go to Florida, that's fine.
If you want to go to Texas, that's fine, but don't bring your liberal policies with you and destroy those states, too.
Well, we're doing well in Florida.
The governor is Republican.
My Attorney General is Republican.
Pam Bondi.
She's great.
Pam's great.
My CFO is Republican.
Two-thirds of my house is Republican.
Almost two-thirds of my Senate is Republican.
Because in Florida, everybody understands the fact that when you have lower taxes, less regulation, you end up with more jobs.
And that's good for everybody.
Sean, you know, I grew up in a very poor family, and I understand the importance of a job.
My dad could get it.
My dad, who only had a sixth-grade education, he could get a good job in Florida today.
Explain the type of job of all the hundreds.
You said you have a couple of hundred thousand, 265,000 jobs available now today in Florida.
What could a person that moves there expect to pay?
Well, it depends on what area you want to be in and what your skills are.
But we're the number one state for aerospace manufacturing attractiveness.
So Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing.
Jeff Bezos company, Blue Origin, is doing their launches here.
That's 330 jobs.
So we have done really well with aviation aerospace.
We've added over 200,000 trade and trade-related jobs because we've invested over a billion dollars in our ports.
We have 15 ports.
And with the expansion of the Panama Canal, and plus California keeps going on strike.
We're continuing to get more trade.
We can now have the four of the fastest, 10 fastest-growing ports in the country.
So we've got a lot of job openings in that area.
Our healthcare community is doing extremely well.
People are moving down here because they love our weather, but they'd like to keep their money in their own pockets.
So our medical community is growing.
So you take technology, we've got the third most number of technologies companies in the country, and you're seeing a lot of that move to Florida because I'm going out to California because the difference between, I mean, as bad as New York is, California is even worse.
Their income taxes are going to be.
And what you're doing is I've seen you up in New York.
And by the way, Rick Perry used to come up all the time.
I used to see all these governors.
Greg Perry, you.
I would see who else?
Bobby Jindal.
Nikki Haley's been up here.
And they're all enticing New York, New Jersey, and California businesses to move to their states.
And by the way, they're successful at it.
Otherwise, you wouldn't keep doing it.
Let me ask about your comments.
I worry that the intensity, especially on social media, maybe I'm reading too much into social media where people maybe are a little bit more brave than they would be in real life in terms of expressing their views.
I kind of like the freedom of it.
I love free speech.
I love edgy talk.
I love people combating each other.
I love the back and forth.
But the intensity between the cruise people hating the Trump people, the Trump people hating the cruise people, seems to me that there is a danger that there won't be a uniting that goes on in the end.
Am I wrong?
Oh, I think there will be a uniting.
That's what they said about my race in 2010.
I didn't get the endorsements.
I just went after the votes.
They said, oh, if you get the, because I was an outsider, I was a business person.
They said, oh, if you get the nomination, we're not going to do well in the fall.
We won two-thirds of the House, almost two-thirds of our Senate.
So we did really well.
I think people come together.
Because usually in the end, what we have to think about, we have to think about our families.
Who's going to help us get jobs?
And it's going to be a clear choice.
You're not going to go over and vote for Hillary Clinton, who doesn't care about jobs, doesn't care about securing our borders, doesn't care about building our military, doesn't care about destroying ISIS.
I mean, we've watched her.
We've watched her.
She did Barack Obama's foreign policy, right?
And so we know what you're going to get over there.
So, you know, look, I mean, everybody has their favorite, but I think we're going to unify.
I think we ought to do it as quickly as we can because the longer the anti-Trump groups go out there, the more they help Hillary Clinton.
Yeah.
What do you think?
I don't like the Never Trump.
I don't like the Never Cruise.
Do you think Indiana, if Trump wins on Tuesday, he's up in the polls, but it's close.
It's not as dramatic in terms of the poll numbers in the mid-Atlantic states, northeastern states.
But if Trump wins Indiana Tuesday, do you think it's over?
Oh, I think it's over already.
I think Trump is, you look at what happened in the Northeast.
You look at, you know, you just look at it's become clear.
He's either going to be there, which I think he's going to be there, or he's going to be very close.
I think people are going to continue to rally around him.
But I do think we ought to do it earlier rather than later and unify the party.
Let me ask the last question because I don't have a lot of time with you.
Last question.
People like yourself, people like Jindal and Rick Perry and Scott Walker and John Kasich and Senator Rubio from your state and Nikki Haley.
Don't you think, and add Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani to the list, don't you think all those people, if they united in a cabinet for whoever the nominee is, if it's Donald Trump or anybody or Ted Cruz, don't you think that would be a powerful force to defeat Hillary and get the country on the right track?
Absolutely.
I mean, Sean, look at what these states are doing.
Look at what Rick Perry accomplished, and look at Bobby Jindal, and look what Nikki's done.
If we, if all of us were out there helping Donald Trump, just think of what this country could do.
You think that's a possibility?
Because I got to run.
Do you think that's a possibility?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, Governor, love having you.
By the way, your warm invitation, my family's just been down in Florida for the entire week as I'm up here slaving away for them every day.
I'm kidding.
I've been giving them a hard time all week.
But they had a great time.
The state is in great condition.
Congratulations on your success.
And it proves that conservative governance works.
Thank you, sir.
All right, see, Sean.
I'm glad when you moved down here full-time.
All right, I appreciate it.
Thank you.
It's not going to be anytime soon.
I just signed up through the end of 2020.
Trump comes over here and tries to rally at where we belong.
You know, f ⁇ Donald Trump.
2K15.
You don't make this go viral because he's the voice of the people.
Peace!
F ⁇ Donald Trump!
These kids are very angry.
We are very angry.
Rob's 3 round motherfucking.
That is enough!
Look at the funny movement.
We're making history here.
I got one more device, sir.
Life is no Nintendo game, Mr. Trump.
You don't get a repeat on life.
You don't get a repeat on life.
Life matters, all of it.
Hey, bye, Mr. Trump.
See you later.
There you have it, part of the ongoing protest.
This has all started.
This started back in Chicago in March.
Then you had the guy the next day, a disruptor, charging the stage to get within feet of Donald Trump in Ohio.
Then you got all these envelopes sent with white powder to Trump Tower in the homes of Donald Trump's children.
Then you have last weekend a bomb threat in Connecticut at a Trump rally.
Now you've got little kids, it's been reported that have been pepper sprayed by some of these protesters.
You see a million Mexican flags being waved.
I didn't see any American flags being waved yet at this event.
And then after that, of course, you've got a Trump supporter at a bloodied face and a scuffle as he tried to just drive out of the arena.
You got people jumping on police cars and smashing in their windows, and others protesting and spraying graffiti on a police car in the Pacific Amphitheater's marquees.
Donald Trump has now finished his speech and is on his way to the airport.
And you can see the motorcade now going and taking him there as well on TV.
So it's ongoing.
It doesn't stop.
And this is the radical left.
It's an alliance of groups, including Black Lives Matter's, Bernie and Hillary supporters.
And of course, we have a radical president that invited the Black Lives Matter movement to the White House and Al Sharpton to the White House.
Joining us to discuss the Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson.
He is now with, by the way, he's the author of the book, The Antidote, Healing America from the Poison, Hate, Blame, and Victimhood.
He's got a brand new website, RebuildingTheMan, oneword.com.
The Reverend Oliver White of the Grace Community United Church.
Reverend White, do you think it's appropriate for the President of the United States to embrace people like the Black Lives Matters movement, which has chanted pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon?
Do you think it's right that the President of the United States regularly has Al Sharpton over to the White House?
And both Democratic candidates have tried to court and get the support of the Reverend Al Sharpton.
In case you don't know some of the more controversial things he's said, here's some of his highlights.
Stop trying to make it.
You ain't nothing.
You're a punk saga.
Now come on, do some.
You want to be the only nigga on television?
All these niggas will do this.
All these niggas can talk.
Don't talk to them.
Don't talk to them.
Because you got the only litter of trouble.
Because you know if a black man stood up next to you, they would see you for the hall that you really are.
White folks was in the game when we had the empire.
We learned to admire them, but they do admire us.
We built pyramids with Donald Trump.
Every new architecture run.
We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homo ever got around.
White little nobody said I was wrong.
Cracker.
The latter cracker is a certain personification of a certain type of person down south.
It's like redneck.
I mean, you know, some people misinterpret cracker meaning all whites is not true.
But the confusion means you shouldn't use it.
I mean, sometimes being slippant, you say things you shouldn't say because it gets in the way of your message and people don't really understand what you're saying.
All right, there you have it.
Do you think that's appropriate, Reverend White?
That the president invites those radicals to the White House repeatedly?
You know, I would never invite Al Sharpton to my house.
I have no interest in that.
I didn't, Reverend, I love you to death.
You're a good man.
I know you are.
You're a Christian, and I bet a better Christian than I could ever dream to be.
But my question was simple: Do you think it's appropriate for the President of the United States to invite these radicals to the White House repeatedly?
Well, we live in America.
He didn't ask if we live in America, but invite anyone he wants to his house now.
You just heard him call.
You just heard him call the first black mayor of New York City the n-word multiple times and a whore.
You just heard him use these these, you know these slurs against gay people and all these other attacks.
I mean, do you think that's appropriate to do?
You think it's appropriate for Hillary and Bernie Sanders to kiss his ring?
I don't think that's.
I wouldn't go that far to say that.
I mean, let's look at it from another perspective.
Uh, would you do you think it would be appropriate for Jesus to have sat down and dined with prostitutes?
Listen, with all due respect, those calling for killing cops and the comments by reverend Sharpton are not the comments of Jesus.
No, they're not.
No, they're not and they're not Jesus.
And Jesus was just the president and we don't know why he invited them and we don't have the context of that meeting.
How do you know to say hey, let's cool the rhetoric.
Yeah well, why don't you say it publicly?
Because I bet if it was a Republican who he calls social Darwinists and accuses of wanting dirty air and dirty water, he never has any problem attacking them.
Well, you know Sean, you have a a bitter taste for the president, no matter what he's doing.
I'm not no, i'm not bitter against the president.
I'm saddened at what he's done to the country.
I'm saddened about the millions more Americans in poverty and on food stamps and out of the labor force.
I'm saddened that he's burdened future generations by taking on more debt than every other president before him combined.
And i'm saddened that 20 percent of American families don't have a single person in the family, in the workforce not one person, and he's done nothing to fix anything.
I'm saddened that he gave the number one state sponsor of terror 150 billion dollars in the right to build ballistic missiles and pursue their nuclear program.
I'm saddened at his horrible treatment of our ally, Israel.
I'm saddened that he drives, draws lines in the sands and and people cross them and he has no courage to back up his rhetoric.
I'm saddened that the world is in chaos and descending into greater chaos and America's in decline because of his bad policies.
That's just basic simple, mathematical facts.
Everything i've told you is a hundred percent true.
He's been a failure and he's hurt the country and the people are suffering because of his policies.
Is there any president that you're not saddened about any president at all?
I think I, actually.
I think.
I think that Ronald Reagan did the best.
He created 20 million new jobs the longest period of peacetime economic growth in history.
I think that George W Bush did a lot of great things to combat radical Islam.
Don't you think it's odd this president can't say radical Islamic terrorists.
Isn't that odd to you?
No no no, that's not Jesse Peterson, let's bring you in here.
Well, first I want to say that it is um uh inappropriate for Barack Obama to invite Black Lives Matter and these radical groups like Al Shopkin and others to our White House.
The reverend said it was Barack Obama's house.
It's not his house.
It's our house.
And for the last, since the early 1990s, we have been fighting to do something about illegal aliens coming into our country.
They have devastated the black communities around the country and especially in California.
It is now impossible to help black Americans find jobs, the men find day work at construction sites and other day labor because the illegal aliens are being hired every day.
And the crime and violence that is now in the black community, these illegal alien gangs are coming in and they are bringing drugs, they are bringing crimes, and they are sponsored by the cartels.
And so they're overtaking even the crips and the bloods in the inner cities around here.
A whole lot of black folks have had to move out of south central LA back to the south looking for jobs and looking for safety.
And we, since the early 1990s, have not been able to get our government to put a wall around the borders to stop these illegal aliens coming in.
And we've been voting them in.
We've been begging them to do something about it.
We shouldn't have to beg them since they work for us.
We don't work for them, Sean.
And it's for this reason that I, Jesse Lee Peterson, not my organization, is endorsing Donald Trump for president.
Donald Trump, I believe, will put a wall around the borders.
I believe that he will bring jobs back to the country.
And I also believe that he will protect us from the foreign and domestic terrorists and our enemies in our country.
And if you notice, no other for the last, since Ronald Reagan, no one else has done that.
They have not put a wall around the borders.
They have not protected the country and especially black Americans.
And if you notice, even with these far-left agitating radical liberals that we see now protesting Donald Trump, they're not going after Cruz.
They're not going after Kasich.
They are going after Donald Trump because they too believe that he will finally restore America.
And I'm so happy about this because if we don't get hold of our country, it's going to be over.
We won't have a chance to do anything about it.
And these radicals, Sean, have been able to run wild over the last eight years because Barack Obama has created an environment for them to do it.
He has not stopped them.
To invite them to the White House is evil.
What would have happened had President Bush invited the KKK or the skinheads to the White House and celebrated with them?
America would be up in arms about it.
But people like Black Lives Matter can get away with this and they are supported by the president and the liberal media.
It's time out for that.
Another thing I really appreciate about Donald Trump is that he is destroying political correctness.
Finally, the American people are going to be able to speak up and take action without worrying about losing their jobs, losing their careers, or being deemed as racist and punished in our great nation.
This is America.
This is a country that we supposed to be freeing.
Opportunities should be around.
They're not there.
And these far-left liberals that you see carry the Mexican flags, they don't care.
They are being supported financially by people like Joyce Soros and others.
And they've been brainwashed by the public educational system, that America is a terrible place.
They have no respect for the law of this great nation.
We can't tolerate this anymore.
And I'm glad to see Donald Trump doing this because he's showing that not only does he care about America, he cares about black Americans.
He wants them to have the same opportunities as anyone else.
And that's why he wants to shut the borders down.
That's why he wanted to bring the jobs back.
The establishment of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, they don't care about black Americans because they have done nothing but lie to us.
They have given us amnesty.
They have told us and promised us that they will shut the borders down.
They lied to us.
We don't want any more lies.
I want Donald Trump.
The black Americans want Donald Trump.
And there are Hispanics in this great nation who want Donald Trump because nobody's going to do it.
Let me give a chance.
Reverend, why don't you speak out?
You're a man of the cloth.
Aren't you?
You believe in Jesus and goodness.
Why don't you speak out like Reverend Peterson and just call it as it is, that these people have no business in the White House.
The president has no business associating with them.
And that he's only encouraging radicalism by doing so.
Well, let me say a couple of things.
Brother Peterson.
Yeah, I appreciate your point of view, but George Bush did invite the KKK to the White House.
They wanted to.
They did not.
They did not.
They were cabinet members.
The Reverend Kutt told B.F. Whoa, whoa, what member of the cabinet?
Whoa, whoa, what's his name?
The only Klansman that I know that worked in Washington was Robert Byrd, who was the Senate Majority Leader for the Democrats.
What's the person's name?
What's the name?
Oliver, what's the name?
Are you asking?
The name of the Klansman, yeah.
Well, how many cabinet members did he have?
You're saying every cabinet member was a Klansman?
No, I'm saying that every Bush.
Just give me the name of one of them.
If there's so many Klansmen, just name one of them.
Bush didn't come close to doing what needed to be.
What's the name of the Klansman?
What Klansman was in the Bush cabinet?
I want to know.
Oh, well, let's start with his vice president.
Mr. Cheney.
What?
Didn't Cheney was never a Klansman?
What are you talking about?
Well, you know, of course he didn't.
He wasn't labeled that.
Reverend, listen, listen.
I like you too much.
Reverend, let me save you from yourself.
That never happened.
That's not true.
I'll stop pushing you.
But there was no Klansman in the Bush cabinet, okay?
That's just ridiculous.
All right.
Just not true.
John, you just don't get it.
Just like Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump doesn't get it.
Reverend Peterson.
You can't make false accusations like that.
I mean, because nobody's ever made that allegation but you.
It's just not true.
All right, but I got to run 800.
Thank you both for being with us.
Glad you're with us.
Final hour free-for-all, Sean Hannity Show.
It's an honor, privilege, pleasure to welcome back to the program our friend Monica Crowley, Fox News analyst and editor and columnist with the Washington Times, Danielle McLaughlin, attorney, constitutional expert, co-wrote the Federalist Society, How Conservatives Took the Law Back from Liberals.
Well, as I watch today, Danielle, I don't exactly see that unfolding.
I see the same thing that we saw in Chicago and the same thing that we see happening at Trump Tower and the powder that's being sent to Trump Tower and the kids of Donald Trump.
And we see liberals trying to silence conservatives all across the country.
And we see cop cars getting their windows smashed and young kids being sprayed with pepper spray and a thousand Mexican flags and no American flags out there in California.
Your thoughts?
You know, I can't condone any of this terrible behavior as it relates to violence, and I don't think any Democrat would.
I don't think anyone who really cares about the process and cares about America can really condone this.
But what I think we're seeing is we have a GOP candidate who's in the lead who is saying a lot of things that are inciting people, making people very upset and angry.
Excuse me, why do you blame a candidate?
Why do you blame words for the actions of violence of protesters?
Like I said, I don't know what to say.
Because, I mean, Barack Obama says a lot of things I don't like.
You know, the Cambridge police acted stupidly, and Trayvon would look like my son, and his comments about what happened with Michael Brown and Officer Darren Wilson, Mr. Constitutional Attorney, was 0 for 3 in these high-profile cases, and he spoke out without any evidence being presented, and he was wrong every time.
Why do you blame words?
I don't condone it.
I think it's terrible.
I think it's terrible, but I think we have to look at the tone and the rhetoric that's coming down from the top.
I think words do matter.
You mean like when Obama says that Republicans want dirty air and water and Republicans are social Darwinists and Republicans want little children and grandparents to fend for themselves, which are all lies.
You mean like that?
Well, I mean, I think there's a lot of hyperbole on both sides, and President Obama is certainly not a good idea.
But the only difference is conservatives aren't out there destroying cop cars and doing what's happening out in California, right?
Really not.
But I mean, Sean, you've seen these rallies.
You've seen Donald Trump at the podium.
You've seen the way that he corrals the press.
You've seen the way he yells, get him out.
You've seen the way he gets him out.
You know what?
It's great.
If that's the case, he's going to suck a punch a protester.
Okay, if that's the case, let's listen to some of the outrageous comments of Obama, shall we?
Let's compare them.
What's happening down in New Orleans?
Where's your dollar?
Tells me the bullet hasn't been taken out.
Tells me that somehow the people down in New Orleans, they don't care about as much.
Governor Romney promised that sometime between taking the oath of office and going to the inaugural ball, he'd sit right down, grab a pen, and kick seven million young people off their parents' plan by repealing health reform.
Maybe we should call his plan Romney doesn't care.
Don't boo, vote.
Vote.
Voting's the best revenge.
We don't mind the Republicans joining us.
They can go come for the ride, but they've got to sit and back.
The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back.
That's irresponsible.
It's unpatriotic.
And then you got their plan, which is let's have dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance.
Many are poor children.
Some are middle-class families who have children with autism or Down syndrome.
Some of these kids with disabilities are the disabilities are so severe that they require 24-hour care.
These are the Americans we'd be telling to fend for themselves.
This congressional Republican budget is something different altogether.
It is a Trojan horse.
It is thinly veiled social Darwinism.
If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own.
If you've got a business, you didn't build that.
Somebody else made that happen.
Let me tell you something.
If some of these folks were around when Columbus set sail, they must have been founding members of the Flat Earth Society.
They would not have believed that the world was round.
No Congress before this one has ever, ever in history been irresponsible enough to threaten default, to threaten an economic shutdown, to suggest America not pay its bills just to try to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions on issues that have nothing to do with the budget.
That's just a small sampling, Danielle.
I'm sure you're going to say that he's as irresponsible as anything any Republican has said because you're fair, right?
You're objective, and you're not.
I just don't see conservatives acting the way these liberals are out in California and elsewhere.
Look, I agree with you, Sean, and Meteor Speaks.
I guess my question to you would be: why do you think that it's only, I guess, liberals or Democrats, you're assuming that's who these people are, doing this?
I mean, I don't think you're saying that people who are conservative.
Well, we know who they are.
We know that they're Bernie Sanders supporters and Hillary supporters and part of groups like Black Lives Matters.
And we've interviewed these folks.
Monica Crowley.
Hi, Sean.
Well, you know, you played that montage of Barack Obama.
And as conservatives who have opposed Obama all these years, Sean, you know, we've had to sit here and listen to his lies and watch him ravage the country and ravage the Constitution.
But you and I aren't there throwing bottles and taunting the police and causing all kinds of ruckus, right?
What we're seeing now in California, what we saw a couple of weeks ago in Chicago, has gone to prove this point.
It doesn't matter who the Republican candidate will be.
Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, somebody else, it doesn't matter.
This is the left.
This is what they do.
It is highly orchestrated and highly organized.
It is straight out of the Sololinsky playbook.
They mobilize their shock troops, kids, union people, you name it.
They get them into the streets to cause chaos.
Chaos chips away at authority.
Look at how they treat the police.
Look at the chipping away at government institutions, chipping away at the respect for the military.
It didn't start now, and it didn't start under Obama.
It probably in modern age started with the anti-Vietnam movement.
Then you had Occupy Wall Street four years ago.
Black Lives Matter.
Now you're seeing these crowds, same crowds, coming out against Donald Trump.
And again, it doesn't matter who the Republican is going to be.
They are going to do this.
In Chicago, Sean, one of the ringmasters of those protests a couple of weeks ago was Bill Ayers.
It's the same people, and it's the same revolution.
It's the same revolution.
Well, let me ask Danielle this question.
We asked it in our earlier segment, our last segment, and we had Jesse Lee Peterson and Reverend White on.
Do you think it's appropriate that the president invited Black Lives Matter, you know, a group on tape saying pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon to the White House?
Or do you think it's appropriate that he invites Al Sharpton to the White House as often as he does?
You know, I think President Obama can make his own decisions about who he believes is appropriate to come to the White House.
You just started out this discussion whining about Donald Trump's rhetoric.
Let me play the rhetoric of Black Lives Matter and Al Sharpton, both of whom have been at the White House, and Sharpton, I've read over 100 times.
You tell me.
You ain't nothing.
You're a punk segment.
Now come on, do something.
You want to do the only nigga on television?
All these niggas can do this.
All these niggas can talk.
Don't talk to them.
Don't talk to them because you got the only nigga on power.
Because you know if a black man stood up next to you, they would see you for the hall that you really are.
White folks was in the game when we had built empire.
We let them admire them, but they do admire us.
We built pyramids without a trump that we knew an architecture up.
We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them free pole walls ever got around.
White little nobot said I was wrong.
Cracker, the actor cracker is a certain personification of a certain type of prison down south.
It's like redneck.
I mean, you know, some people misinterpret cracker meaning all whites is not true.
But the confusion is you shouldn't use it.
I mean, sometimes being simply, you say things you shouldn't say because it gets in the way of your message and people don't really understand what you're saying.
Please in a blanket!
Frankly, make it!
Please in the blanket!
From my banker!
Please in a blanket!
From my banker!
Is that appropriate to invite those people to the White House as often as he has?
Well, I don't think he's inviting the people who are chanting these things.
No, he actually did.
He actually did.
The organizations are doing, Sean, are looking for social change.
They're historically groups that have felt disenfranchised, who have been disenfranchised, that have been in poverty.
And there is certainly anger associated with those things.
I don't think it's fair to say that President Obama, our president, the man who has led this country for eight years and has done enormously good things for all of us, whatever race we are, whatever economic situation we are.
He hasn't been perfect, but the idea that he is somehow against America or hates America is of course nonsensical.
He is having discussions.
He is bringing social issues to the fore, which is something that conservatives are.
No, it's no, you see what the problem with your problem, Danielle, is that you are only selective in your moral outrage.
If a Republican or Republican candidate says something you don't like, it's outrageous, and they're responsible for how people react.
And I've just proven that the president associates with the most radical people and says the most radical things himself, and you make excuses for it.
That, to me, Monica, is called the double standard.
Yeah.
And I mean, you know, you've got to understand the bigger picture, Sean, right?
I mean, it's not just about Barack Obama, but what kind of revolution he's really been leading here.
The left always plays the victimhood card.
And they don't just play that card, but they continue to perpetuate the cult of victimhood.
That's what the left is all about.
They created the permanent underclass, and they keep them there because when they lock them in, then they've got this big voting majority, right?
Look, when Danielle talks about, oh, Obama's done all these great things.
No, the economy has historically low growth under this president.
Race relations are at epic lows in this country.
That was the one thing that he said he was going to come in and try to fix, right, as the first black president.
Wherever you look, things are really bad.
And he's gotten a pass because largely he's been the first black president, so people want to give him a pass on these things.
But when you're looking ahead to 2016, Hillary Clinton's going to have a hard time, assuming she is the nominee, because she's walking a fine line.
Does she inherit, she's going to inherit this legacy?
Should she be elected?
But how far away from it does she have to run?
She understands that things are not good.
She understands that Obama has largely stoked a lot of this.
Again, the Alinsky playbook about stoking chaos.
Well, Monica, take it a step further.
The conditions for our people.
But you believe that Obama's torpedoing Hillary Clinton.
And you wrote about this, I think, back in August 1st, right?
I did, yeah.
Mike Holman, the Washington Times laid out this theory.
And again, Sean, I could be wrong, but my instincts about this man have been right from the beginning.
When you look at the long history of bad blood between the Clintons and the Obamas, they hate each other.
But also, on top of that, you've got this ideological reason for why Obama would not want to turn the keys back over to the Clintons.
When Bill Clinton came in in the early 90s, he moved the Democratic Party away from the radical left, which we've just been talking about, to the center and succeeded and was re-elected.
Barack Obama has taken the Democratic Party back to the radical left, so he would rather eat his own meat than turn the party back over to the Clintons.
I think no investigation under this president goes forward unless Obama wants it to go forward.
Benghazi, IRS, fast and female.
We heard earlier today that Loretta Lynch go forward.
Just like James Comey has no timeframe on Hillary Clinton's investigation.
That's not a good sign if you think that this is going to be fair and honest.
Well, we feel the political calendar rushing down on us.
Absolutely, Sean.
And if she locks up the nomination once she has it, that's her greatest weapon.
Because then what are you going to do?
If you try to move against her at that point, it looks like a coup d'etat.
So we're seeing the political pressure.
Well, then the danger is that she better get a pardon from Obama or the next attorney general will follow up, I would assume, right?
Well, I would assume.
Well, that's right.
But again, that assumes that Obama wants her to survive.
And the twist on this that I've been putting on it is think in the other direction.
This is the man who controls the White House, controls the Democratic Party, and is controlling this process.
And if I am right and he would rather not have her as the Democratic nominee and would prefer somebody he can control who won't investigate the last years, that's somebody like Joe Biden, John Kerry, even Jerry Brown.
It's not her.
So watch it.
All right.
I don't think you're far from the truth here.
We'll see how this unfolds.
That would not shock me at all.
Monica, thank you.
Danielle, thank you.
800-941-Sean, a toll-free number.
Don't forget we have Senator Ted Cruz for the full hour along with Carly Fiorina tonight from Indiana, Indianapolis.
This Friday, heading into an all-important Tuesday.
It's not Super Tuesday, an Indiana Tuesday where there is a lot at stake.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, let's get to our busy, busy, busy telephones as we say hi to Tom in New York, listening to the all-new AM710 WOR.
What's up, Tom?
How are you, sir?
Sean, how are you?
I'm good.
What's happening, sir?
I got one thing for Trump.
Make the quick call after he gets the nomination, which should be very shortly after Indiana.
Newt Gingrich for VP.
Simple and done.
The one and only guy that's worked with both parties that can get stuff done.
That's what he needs.
Listen, look, I'm a Newt fan.
Newt is a pretty amazing guy.
There's been two instances where we have really, truly, completely advanced conservatism.
The Reagan years, and I would argue the contract with America.
You know, Paul Ryan says he's going to come up with some version of it.
I'm waiting for it.
I want to see it.
I think that if Republicans can unite behind a unifying agenda and make promises that they are going to keep, they might get the chance to correct this, to make a course correct.
Can we name one other person that's better than Newt that's actually got stuff done between both parties in the last 18 years?
You know, Newt's a real thinker, a real revolutionary.
Thinks outside the box.
He reads more than any other person that I know.
He has an understanding of history second to none.
He is somebody that is an ideas person.
He loves things that work.
He gave us the last balanced budget.
It's not a bad idea.
You might say, all right, well, some people may think he's polarizing.
I don't think so.
I like the idea.
There you go.
There's my answer.
I like the idea.
For anybody to think about him, sure.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean, our number.
Susan is in Lemon Grove in California.
Hey, Susan, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean.
I'm great.
And yeah, I like Newt too.
But what I'm calling for is I'm from California, and I am so for Trump.
And I'm so disgusted with those protesters that happened the other day and swinging the Mexican flag.
And that's why people are for Trump.
It's like they're just out there as paid protesters.
And everybody's so, it makes me want to vote for Trump more.
I'm just so disheartened with everybody trying to block him.
I'm sorry, I'm not very articulate right now, but it's just, it makes me want to vote for him even more by having these protesters there.
Listen, I got to be honest.
Anytime, look, forget about where you stand on the candidates right now.
You know what?
A lot's going to be decided on Tuesday.
But you cannot deny that whenever liberals feel their power slipping out of their hands, this predictably happens.
This is the modern Democratic Party.
You know, look, all parties are coalition parties.
The Democratic Party has a base.
That's why every election they look at their base.
They say, all right, we'll play the gender card.
We'll play the race card.
We'll scare old people because we'll try and get them to vote for them and tell them Republicans will steal their Social Security money and throw them over the cliff.
They try and scare poor people and children that, oh, you're going to lose your welfare, your dependency, and all this.
We're the people that will keep you, you know, with mere crumbs that we throw to you.
So it's very predictable.
And what happens is once that power begins to slip, Democrats, you know, they try and create as much chaos and the perception that things are really going to be bad as a means of scaring people back to them.
Now, the only thing that should scare people at this point are the eight years of Obama, which have been disastrous.
I've gone through it, you know, day by day, and I won't repeat it here.
So it's predictable.
It's ugly, and it's probably going to get worse.
I would expect the conventions are going to be, well, let's say very interesting.
All right, let's get back to our phones as we say hi to Sarah is in Dayton, Ohio.
W-H-I-O.
Sarah, how are you?
Hi, Sean.
I'm great.
Say, I just want to talk a little bit about being a Trump supporter because, like the last caller, I feel we've been misrepresented.
I'm a young, conservative, female, educated mother of five.
I support Trump.
I have from the very beginning.
And I wish that the focus would shift from the social issues to money, to the debt, to taxes, to things that I truly care about.
And the rest, you know, get rid of.
Here's a guy who comes into the campaign and wants to run his entire campaign with his own money.
How often does that happen?
I'm tired and sick of the politics in Washington, the money that's being wasted, especially on campaigns.
And I just, I feel like people that support Trump are completely being misrepresented.
And a lot of my friends, people I know, are Trump supporters, and the media just is not reflecting that at all.
Look, you cannot deny, I mean, yes, mathematically, Trump is now at 997 delegates.
You got a lot of contests left.
And in many ways, this Indiana, it's not the last stand for Trump.
To me, it seems must win for Senator Cruz.
Because at that point, I think it becomes very difficult for him to stop Trump, especially when you have a Fox News poll that has Trump up 27 points in California.
That's a pretty massive lead and a lot of delegates at stake there.
What's that?
I think Trump is going to wrap this up, and I really hope he does.
I want to see a shakeup in Washington.
I really do.
Well, I do too.
I want our country back.
I want our borders secure.
I want our budgets balanced.
I want Obamacare repealed.
I want choice in education.
These are not complicated issues that we talk about as conservatives.
And, you know, the question is, will Republicans have the strength and courage and backbone to unite and do what needs to get done?
Because they haven't really instilled a whole lot of confidence in us at all as it relates to this.
Anyway, thank you, Sarah.
Appreciate it.
All right, let's go to Michelle in Colorado.
Hey, Michelle, how are you?
Glad you called.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm good.
I was just calling in regards to Hillary's post-comments of the last Tuesday's win.
She won four out of five states.
And the question comes up: who will ISIS and North Korea be more afraid of?
You know, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?
who's more concerned about LGBT rights and who's getting to use what bathroom than the real threat of our borders, of nuclear weapons, of nuclear attack.
This is what concerns me.
And I am just a big supporter of whoever can beat her.
And I am going to be Trump and I.
Yeah.
So you think he could win?
You can win because here's what I see is happening.
And when I looked at the last Tuesday's elections, this is what I saw.
I see a nation that's pretty angry.
I see a nation that's fed up with both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
I see a nation that's fed up.
And I thought what I saw in those elections with that sweep that Trump made was a voice of the people.
I really feel the voice of the people is standing up.
And if the people are intelligent, and I am not saying the majority of them are, but those of us that are intelligent, stand behind one, move forward, and let's do this.
Because we still have a voice.
We, the people, still have a voice.
Well, we do have a voice.
And you know what?
The people have spoken.
One of the things that I find so odd, and I had to fly out late last night to, we did Hannity Live at 10, got on a plane about 11.30, and we flew to Indiana.
I guess I got to sleep maybe about 4.30 or 5.
I look horrible because I had to do the early morning interview with Senator Cruz and Carley Fiorina tonight, which I thought went really well.
The people of Indianapolis are wonderful people, heart and soul of the country people.
I actually got my new dog from there.
And so I look very, very tired.
I got maybe two hours.
And I got to tell you something.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of does this country want to move forward?
You know, Hillary Clinton can absolutely positively win this election.
Anybody that tells you otherwise is not being honest with you.
I don't want that to happen because that means America remains in decline.
This circular firing squad I've talked at length about.
What I'd like to see more than anything else is Republicans unite.
And I mean the best and brightest of the Republicans, the most successful, those that have governed conservatively Republicans, the Rick Perrys, the, let's see, Nikki Haley's, the Jindals, the Kasichs, the Scott Walkers, all of these guys have done enormous jobs.
They have shown the Republicans in Washington what to do if they just have the courage to do it.
So there is a way to fix the country.
Four more years of this to me, I don't, it almost becomes irreparable harm.
It almost becomes somewhat self-prophecy in some way that, you know, America now becomes Europe.
I mean, how many more radical Islamists are we going to allow in the country if we keep our borders open?
And we have these insane immigration laws that they put on the books by executive fiat because they don't obey the law.
There's a lot of risk all the way around the place.
All right, let's go to, let's see.
Sarah is in Huntsville, Alabama on the Sean Hannity Show, my own stomping ground.
Sarah, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
I'm good, Sean.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm good.
So basically, what I wanted to talk about was I'm hearing a lot of Never Trump, Never Cruised, and that's not my point of view at all.
I just feel that there's a lot of similarities between Trump and Obama.
You know, Obama was a lot of hope and change, and Trump is a lot of let's make America great again.
And I just feel like, you know, when back into a corner, Trump starts the name calling because really there's nothing else that he can say because he doesn't know.
Look, you know, look, I've done interviews with all these candidates.
I'm not here to convince anybody who to vote for or who not to vote for.
I feel like I've given you the opportunity to make your own conclusions.
I hope you feel that I have been fair in terms of the time that I've given the candidates.
Certainly, mathematically, it's been fair.
And people have their own perceptions.
I can't change that.
But I don't care.
Fight to the very end.
Fight hard for the person that you want to the last day.
And then at the end of that day, you have a choice.
Either Republicans unite or Republicans lose.
And if you compare, let me give you one issue.
Let's say it's Trump.
Is Hillary going to build a wall?
I don't think so.
Is Hillary going to continue the immigration policies of Obama?
I think so.
Is Hillary somebody that instills confidence in foreign policy after Benghazi and pulling out of Iraq too early?
And that means creating an opening for ISIS to take Mosul and Ramadi and Fallusha into Crete.
I don't, that doesn't instill confidence.
Did Hillary speak up as Obama insulted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on numerous occasions?
Not once.
Has she been a critic at all of any of the Obama policies?
Never.
So I just got to believe she's talking about trillion-dollar tax increases, which will further destroy an economy that has, you know, we have the first president that never reached 3% GDP in one year of his presidency.
People are making in real dollars, you know, about $5,000 less than what they made before Obama became president.
Things are not getting better.
Millions more in poverty, millions more in food stamps.
I keep telling people elections matter.
On top of that, then you've got judges that are going to be appointed.
All right, I think you have a pretty good idea where Senator Cruz will come down on his judicial philosophy.
He's an originalist.
He likes people like Scalia and Thomas.
Trump has said he likes people like Scalia and Thomas.
Some people have doubts.
He said he's going to go further and actually name the pool of candidates that he would choose from.
If there's an opening on the Supreme Court or another opening on the Supreme Court, that's the only list he's going to use.
So you'll have an opportunity to evaluate that.
Anyway, appreciate it.
800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program?
Let us say hi to Evelyn who's in North Carolina.
Evelyn, we have less than a minute.
How are you?
30 seconds.
Hurry up because I just want to tell you how disgusted I am with the establishment.
I'm so disgusted that I've been a Republican ever since I could vote.
53 years I've been a Republican.
But last month, I got so disgusted with the way that they're planning to not let Mr. Trump, you know, get nominated that I switched my affiliation to independent.
Just in case Mr. Trump wanted to go and go independent, I could still vote for him.
I think that, and this is not nice, but I think that Cruz and Kasich and Rebus, Mr. Rebus, they're all snakes in the grass.
And I don't trust them.
Yeah, Ryan's papers.
Listen, I think if they could, but they can't, they would have tried to take this election from either Trump or Cruz.
I really believe that with all of my heart.
They said it.
They discussed it.
They had plans for it.
But by telegraphing it, I think it basically put an end to it.
I'm not 100% confident, but I'm mostly competent.
That's sad that they have such little respect for the people and their opinions and their votes.
Anyway, thank you so much, Evelyn.
Appreciate you being out there.
Thanks for the call.
Don't forget, we'll have Ted Cruz and Carly.
It was their first interview together.
We did a town hall earlier today in Indianapolis.
You don't want to miss it.
Hannity, 10 Eastern, Usual Time, Fox News Channel.
